Information on learning disabilities
Down and Up: The Animated Journey of a Child Struggling in School. This animation from the National Center for Learning Disabilities shows what it's like for a child who is struggling in school. It also shows the power of kind words when it comes to overcoming obstacles.
Learning Disabilities: An Overview will tell you what a learning disability is, the different types, and the causes.
These briefs describe the specific types of learning disabilities:
- Dyslexia (reading problems)
- Dysgraphia (writing problems)
- Dyscalculia (math problems)
- Executive Function Difficulties (problems with organization)
- ADHD (trouble regulating attention)
- Who Can Diagnose LD and ADHD
Print books, audio books, and e-books for children
Children with reading disabilities often avoid reading because it is so difficult for them. There are a number of ways to encourage a struggling reader. Sometimes it helps to read about characters who have some of the same challenges that you do. Kids can also try high/low books that feature engaging, age-appropriate stories, but are written at an easier reading level. Graphic novels can be especially appealing to readers who are reluctant to pick up a more traditional book. Audio books and e-books are other excellent options for struggling readers.
Children's books

High/low books
High interest/low reading level books can motivate struggling readers by providing books on topics that their peers are reading, but targeted toward their reading level. High/low books can help build reading fluency, vocabulary, background knowledge and interest in reading. See our article High/Low Books for Children to find recommended high/low books, as well as links to publishers who offer a wide range of titles.
Graphic novels

Children's authors and illustrators share their stories
Hear first-hand what it was like to struggle with reading from Dav Pilkey, Patricia Polacco, Avi, Jerry Pinkney, E.B. Lewis, Carmen Agra Deedy, and Rafael Lopez, and learn how these talented writers and illustrators discovered their strengths and gifts. Jack Gantos and Gene Yang talk about the habits and pleasures of being a "slow" reader.
We've also included a clip from our interview with Rick Riordan, about the origins of his very popular Percy Jackson series. Percy, along with other demigods in the books, is dyslexic — inspired by Riordan's own son who has dyslexia and ADHD.
Meet author Lin Oliver (Hank Zipzer series)
Meet Lin Oliver, co-author (with Henry Winkler) of the popular Hank Zipzer and Here's Hank series about a young boy with learning differences who is funny, resourceful, and smart. Find out why kids (and their parents) love Hank and learn more about the readable "dyslexie" font and page design in the Here's Hank series.
Oliver also talks about the importance of celebrating differences and supporting the unique strengths in each child, as well as her own experiences parenting a child with attention issues.
Inspirational stories
Stories about success can inspire each of us to feel more confident in meeting the challenges of learning disabilities.
- My Son's Disability, and My Own Inability to See It. How the special education system helped her child.
- The World's Greatest Underachiever. Actor and author Henry Winkler talks about how dyslexia impacted his school years.
- The Handicap that Had No Name. The story of how learning about the "label" of learning disabilities helped a college student to understand herself.
- The Journey Begins. Cary Westbrook succeeds in college and on the job despite his learning disabilities.
Twice exceptional
Dr. Dennis Higgins teaches seven boys in New Mexico who need some unique instruction. They are "twice exceptional," which means they are both intellectually gifted and struggling to remediate an identified learning disability. (From our PBS show, A Chance to Read, part of our Launching Young Readers series.)

History of LD Awareness Month
October was originally designated in the United States as LD Month in 1985 through a proclamation by President Ronald Reagan. Organizations in the United States use this month to inform the public about learning disabilities through events and proclamations. LD Awareness Month is celebrated in many states, often coordinated through each state's Learning Disabilities Association of America (LDA) office.

Even though getting the outside front show ready has been consuming the majority of my time until now, I've been able to crank through several small projects to add to my Victorian Halloween atmosphere, including elegant silver and black cat collars, custom pumpkin vines for the graveyard, candle "costumes" and spider jewelry for servingware, candlesticks, and even for the Webmistress to wear herself!
My kitties don't let me put costumes on them, but they will wear soft collars that stay out of their way. For my first black cat Kylie I found collars on sale at pet stores that were fun, but now since I have three black cats, I'd rather have them match, so I make them myself. The past few years they've had a fun orange pumpkin and black cat pattern, but this year I found some very cool black mesh fabric with silver printed web pattern. Not only did I make myself a scarf just by cutting it (no hem required!), but I made kitty collars AND a hair scrunchie for myself. The fabric is very soft and it looks fantastic on my kitties!
Later in September as we were cutting other projects for time, I thought I could add in some homemade pumpkin vines so I could use my papier-mache pumpkins around the graveyard. Just sitting in the graveyard didn't make sense, but vines emerging from the grave of The Pumpkin Queen would be perfect! I've grown my own pumpkins several times, but fake vines I could put anywhere I wanted for future years to come. Before I drew my own leaf patterns, I did a quick online search and found several, so I printed those as large as my paper would allow plus smaller sizes, cut out the templates, then traced around them onto scrap green felt I had in my fabric stash. I was cutting leaves forEVER, then I needed to glue green fabric-covered floral wire to them! All but the smallest leaves needed a curved crosspiece plus the long stem, and I left the stems plenty long, since I poked the wire through the sisal rope I was using as the vines, then I could curl the other end of the wire around a brush handle to make the curled baby vines. I also painted the leaf veins the same lighter green as the rope, which was very close to the wire color, but since the green felt was so vivid, I also dry brushed the lighter green over the entire leaf. They're still too bright in the graveyard during daylight, but at night with the orange & color-changing lights, they look ok. I was only able to make three vines from the pumpkin leaves I cut, so I think every year we use these pumpkins, I'll make another couple vines. Handstitching around the wire would make them rain-safe, and some fabric stiffener might make them even more realistic since they're pretty floppy right now.
That's not the only late brainstorm about pumpkins! We only have the single ghost in the tallest tower this year for story reasons, so that leaves the roof a bit boring and the other castle windows empty. I have 15 small battery jack o'lanterns, so I thought why not put them along the top of the castle walls and in the windows as forced perspective making the castle look taller? Six of the baby jackos were super-cheap dollar store purchases so long ago that they were blinking incandescent, not even LEDs, one was another incandescent found at Goodwill this year, then the other eight were from Target's collection the past few years (but sadly Target had no jackos this year of any size!). We could have set them as-is, but that would require turning all the batteries on & off every night on the roof…so since we still had extra flicker LED pigtails already wired from our Halloween 2015 soldering party, I asked my resident electrical engineer to wire all the baby jackos to the roof power circuit. It took him a few days but they are now all wired together AND they all flicker brightly enough to see the faces through the gray sheet windows! I absolutely LOVE these!!!
The Webmistress is hosting a Victorian Halloween at Castle Brittahytta this year, so she deserves some new accessories. I've been drooling over the Victorian Trading Company catalog for years, so I finally splurged on this gorgeous spider jewelry and more using a free shipping offer! A pair of spider hair pins that are much larger than I expected, which is great since they should be noticed! The brooch has a couple colors I didn't expect, and the bracelet is very large and more gold tones than expected, especially since the Webmistress' color theme is black and silver.
Back in August I was browsing Etsy for a masculine swan pin for the Victorian family father to wear (separate post later, sorry!), and I came across a fabulous silver pocket watch with a giant spider on top! It would be even better on the other web case design, so I messaged the shop to ask. He was fine making it for me, but when I was ready to order a couple days later, his Etsy shop was down…ack! I was able to contact him, and he was just setting up a new shopify store, so I was his first shopify customer via PayPal. My items arrived last week and I absolutely LOVE them!
Since I knew chances to use fancy spiders were coming, the past few years I've been buying interesting items, even if I didn't have a concrete plan how to use them…like these "crystal" spiders I've seen at several stores, even including Dollar Tree this year. I ended up with 4 that didn't match, but I have four tassels for my Halloween curtains in the living room, so I thought the crystal spiders could easily dress up those! I just bent the front legs to hook around the top of the tassel and they've stayed all month! This is probably a detail others might not notice, but I know it's there. 🙂
Last Halloween I found a black square tier tray at a discount store that was missing a couple beaded drops, but obviously had potential to add my own spider bling! I also found a black beaded silver candlestick at a thriftstore half-off sale that was also screaming for spiders! Before Halloween Shopping Weekend I was able to quickly add some spider bling to some thriftstore items to make them more the Webmistress' Victorian style. It's a much faster project by already having silver spider charms, beading wire, and a bevy of beads in my crafting stash! Now I need more silver spider charms so some are coming from China via Amazon free points, but arriving probably too late for me this year, so stay tuned for more spider bling when the Webmistress' party returns in 2018… 😉
Speaking of candles, I had converted four pillar LED flicker pillar candles to sit over the spiked sconces years ago, but they are just plain black. I took the same silver web mesh fabric I used for my new kitty collars and taped it around the black pillar candles to make them extra fancy. This makes them stand out even more, since the black candles against the dark iron finish of the metal sconces blended in a bit. I used the same removable poster tape that I use to attach my flagstone gossamer to my painted inside walls, so I can remove the web fabric and have plain black candles again for future Halloweens if I have a theme where the web design won't fit.
I was gifted a couple gorgeous carved black gothic candelabras, but putting my black candles in them all blended too much together. I found long white taper LED flicker candles at Dollar Tree, but that same black mesh fabric didn't work on white candles. However, a cheap translucent web pattern tablecloth was absolutely perfect! Now not only are these candles "costumed" much more in the Webmistress' style, but I can remove the tape and have white candles again for other occasions!
I have several candle lanterns of various sizes, and I had a different plan for them but am running out of time (maybe for 2018?), so I used the same cheap web tablecloth (seriously, I'm still cutting up ONE tablecloth for all these projects so far!) to line the windows of this lantern using clear removable poster tape. It's just the right opacity for the flicker LED tealight to glow without showing the fake candle inside…perfect!
I really wanted a fancy spider front door wreath with as much Victorian style as possible, so I bought a bunch of ribbon on clearance from Michaels last year. I also splurged on the albino spider battery light string from Pottery Barn since I expected so much of the wreath would be black so you would have trouble seeing black spiders. I wanted to make this early in the summer, but everything got too busy, so I didn't start it until 4 days before my party…ack! The large sheer silver net ribbon was wrapped with a black layer to show the pattern, so I had to spray the pressed white foam wreath form before I covered with the silver web ribbon. I used a whole roll of the white spider wired ribbon to make a large triple bow wrapped around, plus some thin stripy black & silver looped several times to hang in the middle. Some black and dark purple roses from Dollar Tree added some Victorian flavor, then I arranged the albino spider lights before hotgluing almost an entire sandwich bag of bulk plastic spiders! It looks perfect on my front porch between the giant shaking spider in its huge web, web doormat, spiderweb wind chimes, and my black urn floral arrangement. I think this spider wreath might be the definition of Eerie Elegance! 🙂
My patio archway door that has been in service about a decade now finally got an update! When I splurged on the dragons for the columns, I also found these brass dragon door handles cast from some original in Europe, but they don't have latches so I coudln't use them anywhere else in my house…but they fit perfectly on the archway door! I expect this may be another detail others may not notice, but I really like expanding the dragon theme. 🙂
Back when the sheer purple with web-flocked fabric was available, I bought enough for matching living room curtain panels, pillow covers, a drape for the piano, front door moon window panel, a tiny lampshade cover for the little lamp above my patio fridge, and a big lampshade cover for my floor lamp in the living room. I had another lampshade I covered with Eerie Elegance Beware the Brocade but thought I should have all matching webs this year. However, I only have tiny scraps left and haven't seen that sheer purple web fabric for sale in several years now…but I scrounged through my fabric stash, and I had just barely enough of my original sheer black web lace from the original Webmistress costume from 1999 to piece together a new lampshade cover for the Library Laboratory floor lamp! When the light is shining through, you can't really tell the difference between the purple and the black anyway, so they fit together just fine. All this work was inspired because during Halloween Shopping Weekend this year I found a FABULOUS black fringe trim that I could not resist, so there was $50 AFTER coupon, but now I have extra opulent Victorian web lampshades now, worthy of this Webmistress! One even has double layers of purple and black fringe, which I didn't expect to like, but I think it fits as over-the-top Victorian.
No time left for any more updates since my party is Saturday and I'm taking the next three days as vacation from work! My costume is ready, and the front show is all set with over 10,000 spiders crawling all over the castle and graveyard, but there is still a lot of food to make! Hope everyone enjoys their Halloween weekend and I'll be back with more updates after it's all over!

After years of getting newborns and colicky babies to sleep through the night, it's a relief when they all doze from sunset to sunrise with nary a peep. So, many a night we fall asleep anticipating not awaking again until daybreak. But, then there are those nights; the nights we weren't expecting.
Last night was one of those nights. It was 1 a.m., and I was in deep slumber when a knock on our bedroom door nudged me towards consciousness. I was still a little foggy when I heard a little voice declare, "I got sick." That's all it took to shoot me out of bed. I opened the door to find Caleb, holding his stomach, completely naked. With much apprehension, I entered his room and surveyed the damage. It actually wasn't bad, but the stench was pretty overwhelming when you're barely awake.
I bathed Caleb, cleaned up his room and changed his linens. Then I returned to my room, dreaming of a little more sleep. It took a little while to return slumber, and of course right when I'm starting to snooze, the knocks continued. Throughout the night, I was frequently in Caleb's room and finally gave up even trying to sleep around 5 a.m.
Having a sick kid is exhausting, but in a small way satisfying too. Caleb's at the age where he doesn't need me as much. He's nudging his way towards independence, and I'm working my way towards taking a more passive role in his life. But, last night he needed me and I could tell he was glad I was there. I'm glad to find ways to show him he's loved, in sickness and in health.

So after referring to a bunch of fellow bloggers lists out there... I compiled a list of what "necessities" I needed to have. There are a ton of over-packers in this world, I am not one of them...nor am I a minimalist. I like to go tent camping... with our truck....and wine...and nice cheeses and meats...and dog beds... and an air mattress. That's my style of camping, so I find this situation rather similar. Matt calls me moderately moderate about everything in life... usually with some type of frowny face. He is more on the extreme/excessive side of things...he likes to live large, which is something I love about him. Can you tell I am processing how our life of two-dom will be rapidly changing to a family of three soon?! Anyways, I digress.
I like lists... they make me happy... so here is mine...
Hospital Bag:
- camera- a point and shoot for matt to use...that does black and white for my unflattering labor pictures.
- music- our iphones with playlists and pandora and little speaker
- camera and iphone battery charger
- chap stick.... maybe two of them.
- my own disolveable zofran... can I take this while laboring? My least favorite thing in the world is vomiting. I will ask this of our midwife next appointment
- snacks- I get rather cranky without food...crackers, cheese, granola bars, peanut butter, veggies
- matt's swim trunks for the standing jacuzzi
- matt's change of clothes/ pajamas
- matt's toiletries
- after delivery lounge wear... fresh, clean yoga pants, tank top, sweat shirt
- flip flops
- travel sized: shampoo, conditioner, face soap, face and body lotion, tooth brush, tooth paste, deodorant
- makeup (the little makeup I do wear, I don't want to do without)
- hair dryer and curling rod (if I didn't have a short-styled hair cut, I could do without this stuff...but alas, I do. No ponytails for me)
- spud journal to write about our experiences that I don't want to forget
- one newborn pajama and one 0-3 pajama to go home in... extra snugly with fold over mittens and footies
- one blanket to swaddle/cover her on our way home
- infant nail clippers (this is silly, but the hospital can't cut your baby's nails, and I think it would drive me crazy...some of them are so very long! I don't want her to scratch herself)
- car seat safely installed in car
- box of candy for the nurses...maybe I like this sentiment because I will be a nurse soon? But screw it I like it, and I'm doing it.
- pads, underwear, my own hospital gown... this birthing process and recovery is bloody and gooey. I'd rather use their disposable gear or they-wash-it clothing
- diaper bag, lots of baby clothes, pacifiers, diapers...they supply all of this
- breast feeding pillow- I think I can manage without the boppy pillow. They have ample pillows to use and prop in any way imaginable.
- books, movies, magazines.... we have each other to be entertained, I think.
...Any suggestions/thoughts from moms out there?!
Of course I will re-visit this list after delivery for what we really needed... and how I shouldn't have been so silly.

There are lots of things one finds in desi movies that have one doing a literal double-take. Yes, one needs to suspend one's disbelief when watching a typical desi film – we've all had plenty of practice believing that people are able to create songs and set them to tunes on the spur of the moment, that folks can disguise themselves for years just by donning a pair of sunshades, that 40-year-olds can be college students. But we're not talking about what has become par for the course. We are talking about scenes that require one to take that suspension of disbelief to a whole new level. Here, then, is an anthology that is sure to boggle your mind and leave you asking " Whaaaat ? Did I just see what I thought I saw??"
Take notes, young Casanovas, on accessories that will impress the beautiful heiress . Imagine this scene: dry barren lands surrounded by hills on all sides. No sign of water anywhere in the frame. Looks like the place hasn't received any kind of rain for years together, leave alone a lake or a river there. And out steps a jaunty Dev Anand in a natty outfit and the funkiest of all accessories – a fishing rod. With a plastic fish hanging from it. Is he going to win his lover girl by flaunting such unimaginable accessories? Watch it and find out in this classic from 'Jewel Thief'
Who said vegetarians are weak ? Sanjay Dutt is a ruthless killer, alcoholic and womanizer who is smitten by Madhuri. His guards abduct her and leave her at his mercy . As he leers at her, Madhuri breaks into a dance to express her contempt for him. But wait ! This is not the unbelievable part. At the end of the clip, an animal knocks the Dutt down flat, enabling Madhuri to flee. Guess which animal ? Hint 1 : It is a herbivore Hint 2: It has two long ears.
Yes, you guessed right ! Out of the blue an innocuous little rabbit flies at the deadly Dutt and lands him a knock-out punch. Watch the super strong knock out punch here.
Not surprisingly, this creativity is not restricted to the Hindi movies alone. Here are a few such classics from the worlds of Tollywood and Kollywood.
Bullet Balakrishna – Villain ties up the hero and his near and dear ones. Common enough! There is a bomb tied to one of them. Common again! Hero tries to save everyone. No movie is complete without this! Now comes the shocker – how does he save everyone ? Watch this for the one and only Bullet Balakrishnan in action.
Matrix Vijayakanth – Don't despair that Matrix hasn't been released in Indian languages. Our Tamil movies more than fill the gap. Watch Vijayakanth in this 'glass-shattering' sequence proving as an inspiration to some of the Hollywood superstars. Here comes the Kollywood Matrix.
And if you haven't gone bonkers laughing your heart out, here are two more plum examples of magical realism from the South Indian film industry.
Enjaaaaaay !!

Organic gardening is a great way to grow your own food at home and anyone can enjoy it. But, if you're just getting started, they may feel overwhelmed.How should a handle on how to start out? Read this article, of course!
Your children will enjoy being involved with your organic garden. A garden can provide a wonderful learning experience for children, and it gives you a chance to bond while producing healthy food.
Using aspirin and water can prevent certain plant diseases. Dissolve 1 aspirin (1.5 pills per 2 gallons of water for a plant disease fighting solution. You can easily spray this on them to fight disease. Try to apply the mixture to the plants at least once in each three weeks.
It can be easy to prepare the soil in a perennial flowers. Use a spade to dig into the turf, then flip each piece over, then spread the area with approximately three inches of wood chips. Let the area sit for a couple weeks, then dig it and plan the new perennials.
Keep your garden tools close by to maximize gardening efficiency.
This will also gives your flowers appear beautiful and finished all year long.
Pine needles make for a great type of mulch. Cover your beds with the needles, they will release acid into the soil and nourish your plants.
Spacing is one of the primary considerations when planting an organic garden. You will most likely underestimate how much space the plants need until they begin to grow. Plan your garden carefully and put an appropriate amount of distance between the seeds.
Try not to let the chores associated to your organic garden at least a short time each day. Even if you are too busy to tend to your gardens needs every day, you can do little things to help so that there is not a huge amount of work to be done when you are ready to get back to it. If you are outside with your dog, try to remove weeds when your pet is doing his business.
Laundry Basket
Use an aged laundry basket when you want to collect produce from your produce. The laundry basket is a great strainer when you wash your vegetables.
Some common examples are petunias and ageratum. If you aren't sure, check the seed package or search online for the information.
When maintaining your organic garden, lightly brush over them using your hand up to twice a day. It may sound a little odd to do this, but research has shown that handling the seedling like this often will make them grow bigger than seedlings that are ignored.
Create a raised bed for your garden out of stone, brick or untreated wood.Choose wood that is naturally resistant to rot and does not contain any chemicals. The best varieties include cedar, locust and cedar woods. In a veggie garden, avoid using treated wood to enclose or demarcate different sections of your vegetable garden. If you are already using treated lumber, you can still use it, however, be sure to line it with some type of barrier like plastic sheeting.
If you wish to honestly proclaim your produce to be truly organic, you should communicate your commitment to natural growing by becoming certified. This can boost sales and also prove to your customers that you're providing the best produce out there.
Organic gardening may sometimes require more effort than resorting to chemicals, but you will reap a greater reward. While the chemical companies claim great benefits, growing organically is the most rewarding option for you and those who consume your crops.
Adjust your watering according to season and climate.For instance, in warm and balmy locations, refrain from watering the leaves, as this will inevitably invite leaf fungus.
When you are buying seedlings for tomatoes, avoid the ones with a bad root system or green starts. These starts will stick to the seedlings for quite some time, inhibiting their growth.
Using a soaker hose to water your organic garden is the very best choice.
This tip greatly eases your organic gardening made easy. Plan your landscaping based primarily on native bushes, grasses and bushes when creating an organic garden. If you chose plants that will thrive well in your environment, you won't need special pesticides or fertilizers. Native plants will thrive if you encourage growth with organically made from native materials such as grass clippings and leaves.
Try planting your organic garden a beautiful shade garden. You will be happy to learn that these gardens are very low maintenance. They don't require as much watering, and not much work or time. This will cause slower plant growth, and there will be a lot less weeds to eradicate.
When planting trees and shrubs, try digging an ugly hole to plant them in. If your hole has several "glazed" sides created by the shovel, it restricts the growth of the roots.
You can grow many different types of plants in your garden.Mulch is a must-have for plants that need acidity to thrive.These types of plants should be mulched with a thick layer of pine needles during fall every year.
Use at least 3″ of organic material to mulch flowers and flowers. This aids in environmental conservation and help it retain moisture more efficiently – which should help you reduce your water bills. You can look quite great as well.
Compost is incredibly useful in organic gardening, but what is in it? Compost is actually a mixture of grass clippings, dead leaves, leaves, produce scraps, straw, and small twigs that all break down together into a soil-like consistency. You can use this type of fertilizer as opposed to one that is commercial.
With what you learned you should now feel a bit more confident when it comes to gardening, and you should think of it as an easy task to tackle now. Properly growing your garden can involve serious relaxation and even some fun. These tips are your key to becoming a top-flight organic gardener.

Riding waves between three to four metres high, passing under the boat from right to left, watching them roll on down hill as the next wave erupts before you, with the wind blowing loud enough that we have to shout to each other, whilst watching an approaching cargo ship appear on Esper's beam, is one of the most exhilarating experiences either of us have ever experienced.
Cruising Chute Chaos
After a great sail we found ourselves in a little natural harbour and, as a reward for conning us in to the tricky entrance, we invited ourselves on board Roam II to finish off the tuna. I diced it and Terry and Liz knocked up a real treat using a secret, magic ingredient of ginger and…well, I can't tell you otherwise it wouldn't be a secret, magic ingredient. Believe me though, it was the best tuna dinner and satisfied six very hungry tums. Millie still had a head and a tail to work her way through too.
Best Photo of Esper…Ever!
This is a quickie, just a new photograph we received of Esper under sail with cruising chute, running downwind along the Sinai, Red Sea. Just look at those deep, rich red mountains! A stunning photograph, even if I say so myself!
Well, bloody well! Our best sail yet. In the world. Ever.
A cursory glance at the log book gives it away:
Our First Anchorage In The Red Sea!
On this trip we learned a very important lesson: that the best bit of equipment on the boat is ones eyes. Twice we were passed by local fishing vessels that did not appear on the AIS system, something that we had almost started taking for granted. Whilst they passed we were also navigating our way past coral on our starboard side (we were sailing in just 10m of water) and oil platforms on our port. The scary thing is that this was just a taster of what is to come. I've just planned our passage for tomorrow and it takes us into an oilfield. This oilfield…
Marina Wadiel Dome: Comedy Fun House
Once off the boat one then had to contend with the comedy pontoon, something taken straight out of the Fun House! Remember the moving staircase right by the Hall of Mirrors? That was our pontoon! As one walked down the pontoon so it tipped and dipped from side to side, and then there were the warps (lines) tied to the large motor boats that one had to climb over, further complicating the trip ashore.
The Day We Sat In A Minibus
A little of the hocus pocus rubbed off and we struck it lucky by being taken up by a local, who showed us the best place to view the whole monastery and then wangled us an entry. It was too late to see inside the church and the museum (most annoying) so Jamie and I bought lots of postcards of all the beautiful objects we missed and had a cup of tea. We did manage a walk round the impressive grounds and buildings, which was an experience.
The Suez Canal Part 2
The is the second podcast recorded whilst transiting the Suez Canal aboard Esper. In this episode we leave Ismalia with a new, quieter pilot and make our way towards Port Suez. We encounter some fishermen in the Bitter Lakes, which enrages our normally subdued pilot, and Ian of 'Rhumb Do' suggests lamb chops for dinner. It's not what it seems…
The Suez Canal Part 1
This is the first of two podcasts recorded as we transited the Suez Canal from north to south. We set off from Port Said around midday, took in the afternoon sun and watched as a huge convoy passed, and spent a bit of time chatting to our pilot. Learn a bit about Egyptian families, the types of ships that pass and what goes on on the canal.
Well, Hush My Mouth!
Only this morning I was hopping about on the empty promenade of Ismalia marina, having been left behind by the rally. We'd been woken up at 5am only to be told that our pilot wouldn't be turning up till ten. After our last experience of that ungrateful arse of a pilot Liz and I had said that whoever came on-board as our pilot for the second day would not get any more than $10 baksheesh. A kick in the bollocks would also be offered if any objection was raised over the sum of our present.
I Spoke Too Soon!
In my email round-up yesterday I joked about our pilot not turning up. Well guess what? It is now 07:30, two and a half hours after we were supposed to have departed, and he's still not here. Oh, everyone else has gone, it's just 'Rhumb Do' and 'Esper' left on the bloody dock because they couldn't get enough pilots. Our departure date has been set to 10:00 instead. Hmmmm…
Downtown Cairo
So, you've just paid a small fortune to enter the the Royal Mummy room at the Egyptian Museum, where you are asked to be quiet and not take photos. Your camera has been left outside the museum in a secure place because you are not allowed to bring it in. What do you do? You take out your phone and flash away at these ancient mummified people, who are kept at carefully regulated moisture, temperature and lighting levels to stop them decomposing. You are an idiot.
Giza's Good, Giza's Good
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise: the Pyramids do not disappoint. Far from it. Even through jaded eyes and lifelong over-worked symbolism they are magnificent, other-worldly, splendidly breath-taking. Jamie photographed them from every angle, while I tried to imagine what the area would have looked like during its prime, with the white limestone glistening interiors of the Pyramids intact.
The Gem Of The Suez Canal
The rest of my commentary of this fine town will be done by picture. I have to say I was bowled over by the local people's willingness to be photographed! Only three people declined their portrait being taken and a couple of people tapped me on the shoulder and told me off (one for photographing his cycle shop!), but the rest of Ismalia were queuing up! Young lads jumped in front of each other, young parents grabbed their children and market traders picked up fruit and offered it to the camera.
Ungrateful Suez Canal Pilots
He ripped open the parcel, threw aside the t-shirt, scattered the other goods across the deck and tore open the envelope containing the money. The next half an hour was spent listening to this whinging, ungrateful shit complain about his present.
Bribing The Wrong Person
A very angry Arabic marina manager started shouting in a way that only an angry Arabic-speaking official person can do. The pilot boat had to catch us up in order to drop off our pilot, Moussa, which is Egyptian for Moses. Biblical this man was not…
Who Said Port Said Is Rubbish?
Liz and I then wandered around town taking snaps and racing the ATM machines to get money. Having failed to withdraw cash from these machines in the last couple of days we were told that we had not been using the machines correctly. The trick is to be as quick as possible in pressing the buttons. Procrastinate for a split second and the machine will display a random message like "main server offline", "unable to process your request" or "no spare cash left in Egypt". Weird.
Get Me An English Wife
The internet cafe was nothing special but the guy in charge was. He was as camp as a lace doily and so it was with complete disbelief that I found myself in a conversation about finding him an English girl to marry! I am serious, this guy genuinely believed that I could call up an English girl who would be willing to fly over and marry him!
Stop Asking For Presents!
Today is arrival day. Our predicted landfall is 1600 and I'm writing this as we motor across flat calm water towards Port Said, so we'll see if my ETA is correct. Although we can't see land the depth is only 20 metres, and we've passed a couple of oil rigs and been overtaken by a huge cargo ship. With the hazy sun the entire experience reminds me of the east coast of the UK. On a good day. Instead of familiar Turkish banter the VHF is now choca with angry-sounding Arabic fishermen.
Turkey To Egypt: Part 2
This is the second 20 minute instalment of our 400nm crossing from Turkey to Egypt. In this episode Liz catches our first official trolled fish, Jamie proves he can't navigate by the stars, we ride 3m waves and eventually land in Port Said.

Exclusive Pokemon Center Pokedoll Pokemon Plush Doll – 14-inch Black Kyurem
Kyurem burst onto the Pokemon scene with Generation V and Black Kyurem is the result of DNA Splicing Kyurem with Zekrom. Kyurem and Zekrom along with Reshiram comprise the legendary Tao trio of Unova legend. Kyurem is a dual-type Dragon/Ice Legendary Pokemon and in the guise of Black Kyurem possesses the Teravolt power. Black Kyurem is the game mascot of Pokemon Black 2. As a plush, Black Kyurem stands 14 inches high and is imported by the Pokemon Center Japan, and comes sealed with the genuine Pokemon Center tag.
12″ Zekrom Pokemon Center Plush
This plush Zekrom is made by Pokemon Center in the US, which is known for their quality, genuine Pokemon products, that are factory sealed and have the all-important authentic US Pokemon tag. Zekrom is a winged, bipedal dark grey and black dragon-like Pokemon with a large, spiked tail. Because of his fierce looks, he makes a great plush pal for boys and girls who like all things Pokemon for the action as opposed to the cuteness. However, Zekrom is cute, and as Pokemon Center adds, also collectible. Zekrom stands at 12 inches (one foot) tall, so he can sit on top of beds or in your designated collectible area.
Lunala Stuffed Pokemon Plush Toy, 20.5 x 12.2-Inch
The Lunala Stuffed Pokemon Plush Toy is imported from Japan and is an authentic product from Pokemon Center. Lunala is about 12 inches high, 20.5 inches wide and around 3 inches deep. The reason for the large width is due to Lunala's wingspan which is on full display thanks to the wings being held wide open, providing a unique look for this Pokemon plush. Lunala is indigo blue with light golden-yellow accents and has an adorable bat-like appearance. The vampire fanglike mouth line and red eyes show Lunala is a Pokemon to be reckoned with.
Pokemon Best Wishes Reshiram Plush
This Reshiram plush Pokemon is imported from Japan and features the Japanese language tag to show its authenticity. Reshiram's rough dimensions are 12in x 7in x 12in. Because Reshiram is a stuffed toy, the exact dimensions may vary based on how far the wingspan of your particular Reshiram extends, which is a normal level of variation even in modern manufacturing. Reshiram is white with light blue accents and striking cobalt blue eyes, and is featured in a majestic, battle-ready pose. Being plush with a soft exterior and embroidered eyes, Reshiram is ideal for children aged 5 and up.
Pokemon Center Original BIG Size Sleeping Pikachu Plush Doll
Pikachu is easily recognized as the most well-known Pokemon, being the mascot of the franchise and constant companion of Ash Ketchum. It is the friendly, loyal Electric-type Pikachu introduced in Generation I. Pikachu is mouse-like as far as Pokemon go, and has a chubby yellow body with big, black-tipped pointy ears and red circles on each cheek that denote the location of his electricity-charging glands. At over 10.5 inches high and 17 inches long from nose to the tip of his tail, this peacefully sleeping Pikachu is just as worthy a gift to a child as it is being part of a serious Pokemon fan's collection.
Pokemon Center Pokedoll Plush Doll – 13-inch Virizion
Virizion was introduced in Generation V and is a stag-like dual-type Grass/Fighting Legendary Pokemon, and member of the Swords of Justice. The plush Virizion is green with a white face and stomach, purple markings on the hooves and a purple stripe at the center of the forehead; pink accents encircle the tops of Virizion's four legs, and there is a pink tip at on each of its wing-like leaves on the sides of its neck. Virizion is unmistakable by its green horns and leafy tufts that give it a fast, streamlined appearance. This product is sealed inside retail packaging for authenticity and imported from Japan.
Reasons to buy Pokemon Plush Toys
Sometimes Pokemon ex-cards are not the best toys for younger children. Here are some reasons to go with Pokemon plush toys instead.
1. A Plush toy Is Easy To Care For
Children are always quick to romanticize pet ownership. They can not wait to take them home, feed them, and bathe them. These dreams are often ruined by the reality of walking a dog in 30-degree weather, the difficulty of giving a real pet a bath and having to feed them multiple times day. Parents are often left to ask themselves if they are truly up for the challenge of pet ownership despite the child's enthusiasm. Having a real-life animal can deplete the family's time, energy, and money. That is why families love Pokemon plush toys, they require virtually no care!
2. Family Members are not Likely to be Allergic to a Plush Toy
The Asthma and Allergy Foundation says that about 15% of adults with allergies also suffer additional symptoms when around pets. They also shared that parents who have allergies are likely to have children with have similar allergies. Even finding a pet with short hair or no hair at all, does not remove the risks of allergies. Unfortunately, pets can also bring in allergens from outdoors. While a high-end vacuum can greatly enhance air quality and remove pet hairs, it is impossible to remove all allergens when housecleaning. Children get attached to animals quickly, so trying to test it out for a week or so is not really an option either. Getting some Pokemon plush toys can help remove the child's urge to care for a pet while avoiding all of these problems.
3. Plush Toys Never Get Bored of Being Around Children
A real pet would greatly enjoy running around, jumping, and playing outdoors with children, but some children prefer to spend time indoors. A real dog will show little to no interest in playing video games or having a tea party with friends. A plush toy will spend time with children regardless of what they enjoy doing.
4. A Plush Toy Cannot Bite Your Neighbor
There is an estimated 4.5 million dog bites that happen per year. Some dog bits can be fatal, and children are much more at risk due to their smaller size. They also tend to underestimate a dog's tolerance for teasing and rough play. Thankfully, plush dogs have no real teeth.
5. Plush Toys Do Not Need To Be Housebroken
Parents already have children who wet the bed and children in diapers, they surely do not need another mess to clean. Sadly, this is the reality for a new family who decides to get a real puppy. A puppy can take over 6 weeks to potty train, and having a dog in the house can decrease the resell value of the home. Often times, sellers are asked to replace carpeting before reselling if they have had a pet, and stains are not the only concern. Pet odors and allergens can stick around even after using a number of cleaning products which claim to remove them. For young parents who are already overwhelmed with children, plush toys are a much more tolerable alternative.
6. Real Pets Are Expensive
It is easy for parents to underestimate the amount of money that truly goes into pet ownership. Yes, premium dog food may cost 20$ a month, but don't neglect the cost of dog treats, vaccinations, heartworm prevention, grooming, toys, and new furniture. The real price to own a pet ranges from $1,000 to $2,000 which does not include the cost of training, crates, fencing, or medical expenses. A plush toy, on the other hand, only requires a small initial investment.
7. Plush Toys Cannot Destroy Personal Property
Real animals are as playful and curious as children are, that is why they tend to chew everything they can get their paws on. They also do not understand the difference between a toy bought for dogs and the new couch that you just purchased. Often times pets can suffer from anxiety or boredom when they are left alone leading them to chew through whatever is nearby. This is why plush toys are recommended instead.
8. Pokemon Plush Toys Are Quiet
Besides a fish, real pets can be loud. Dogs are especially known for barking wildly waking up sleeping babies and neighbors. Sure, maybe a very small portion of plush toys offer sound features, but they are not likely to wake anyone or be a disturbance. Furthermore, they are much easier to quiet down than a 90-pound dog barking on the porch.
9. Pokemon Plush Toys Cannot Transmit Parasites
Another unfortunate truth about pet ownership is the ability for pets to transmit parasites to children. Roundworms is an example commonly found in even the most well cared for pets. Hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms are other examples that may be looking to invade your family's home. Older people can usually avoid these with the practice of good hygiene, but children tend to be less picky. Ticks and fleas are other parasites that are commonly associated with house pets. By going with a Pokemon plush toy, you eliminate all of these risks.

|Farrah enjoying some Beaverhead caddis fishing.
A couple of weeks ago the wife's cousin and his new wife came through Dillon celebrating their recent nuptials, and it worked out that I was able to jump in the boat with them for a day of caddis dry fishing down the Beav. Ke'lah and Nathan are as close as siblings, and I tried for a week to find some parallel between going fishing with them and the infamous scene in a river runs through it with Norman's future brother-in-law. Alas I couldn't, because Nathan is a great guy, awesome fisherman and enjoying his honeymoon, not a riverside escapade involving a lady with a tattoo (Buster here wants to fish).
Nathan went to UMW here in Dillon, and it's actually embarrassing to say that this is the first time we have gotten to fly fish together. In fact his now wife Farrah made it into the blue skiff last summer for a trip down the lower end. Hunting season is now what tends to draw these two to the area, and so fishing is not likely in our immediate future again, beer drinking and hunting stories are, which is the next best thing.

Security-conscious abortion clinics in the state have begun looking to bulletproof glass, remote-controlled entryways and electronic passes for protection. But the shotgun slayings Friday of a doctor and volunteer outside a Pensacola, Fla., clinic have heightened the fear that some acts cannot be prevented, abortion rights advocates said.
At Planned Parenthood of Connecticut headquarters in New Haven, a ``heavy sadness and fear permeate the mood here,'' said Executive Director Patricia Baker. ``Everybody is so stunned and dumbfounded.''

Some recent events illustrate the puzzling place of religion in Canadian life: A team of American academics declares that religion is on its way to extinction "up here" - just before 10 million people participate in Easter and Passover celebrations. Atheist signs make their latest appearance on buses in the Okanagan, about the same time as a Toronto media personality proclaims in a new book that "Catholics are right" about pretty much everything. Meantime, a federal election campaign inches toward a May 2 finish line, with scarcely a word spoken about religion.
After spending almost four decades monitoring religious developments in Canada, I think I've finally figured things out. But that's for you to decide. A favourite sociologist of mine, Howard Becker, once said that a basic test of sound research is that people should be able to recognize themselves in the things we write about them.
For years, almost everyone has assumed that religion in Canada has been in a participation free fall. In the mid-1940s, our national weekly attendance level of 60 per cent was higher than that of the United States. When it dipped to 25 per cent in the mid-1980s, many felt it was en route to European-like levels of under 10 per cent.
Actually, that active core of 20 per cent to 25 per cent has not changed very much. The participation losses of mainline Protestants and Quebec Catholics have been offset by the gains of Catholics elsewhere, evangelical Protestants, and other groups, led by Muslims.
But things are not the same. Occasional attenders are evolving into non-attenders. For every person who attends weekly, there's a person who never darkens the proverbial church door. The trend is particularly blatant among teenagers. In the mid-1980s, close to one in four attended weekly, similar to now. But the proportion of teens who never attend has doubled since then, from one in four to two in four. Such attendance trends are part of a pattern that also can be seen in religious identification and belief data.
These mixed findings about the stability and decline of religion are best summed up as polarization rather than relentless secularization. Simultaneously, the percentage of Canadians who value religion remains sizable and stable, while growing numbers are living life without the gods. Such polarization is most pronounced in British Columbia, followed by Ontario and Alberta. It is least evident in the Atlantic region, along with Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Quebeckers lead the nation in their inclination to opt for religion à la carte - neither embracing nor rejecting it.
The important question that arises from all this is the "so what?" question. If the nation is becoming increasingly polarized religiously, what are the implications - if any - for personal and collective life?
For starters, the good news is that our pervasive ideal of pluralism appears to be encompassing both religious and non-religious inclinations. This side of the law, co-existence is prevailing. Relative to many other parts of the world, that's not a bad start.
My analyses show that overall levels of personal well-being are similar for those who are religious and those who are not. Faith enhances life for some people, but others find personal and relational fulfilment through other pathways. Spirituality, some say, calls for religion. Our findings question such an assertion. Spiritual needs are conceptualized and addressed in highly diverse ways. Religion is important for many but, as we all know, large numbers of Canadians are spiritual but not religious.
The research does suggest, however, that growing polarization will produce two casualties. First, while people obviously can be "good without God," belief in God helps. Religion typically tries to instill interpersonal values such as compassion, honesty, civility and forgiveness. In its absence, we will need to find some effective functional options. Second, religion frequently provides people with a unique sense of hope as they confront death. To the extent Canadians say goodbye to the gods, most will say goodbye to such hope - an admirable decision if the gods are an illusion, an unnecessary and costly choice if the reverse is true.

FOREST PARK brings to mind big rambling homes adorned with stained-glass windows and wide, wrap-around porches that look out onto hedge-covered lawns and tree-shaded streets crisscrossed with foot paths named Towanda and Mohawk.
One might also think of a high school whose alumni include Spiro Agnew ('37), Judge Hillary Caplan ('53), movie director and producer Barry Levinson ('60) and developer Victor Frenkil, whose construction company built the new Forest Park High School in 1980.
My father grew up in Forest Park on Main Avenue. He moved there in 1927, graduated from the high school four months behind the future vice president and read about the dropping of the atomic bomb on Japan while lounging on his front porch. That was in August 1945, when Forest Park has just passed the half-century mark.

I'm going to let you guys in on some updates on our life and some programming tips.
Last week my in-law's dog had to be put to sleep. Tuesday, this week, my wife's grandmother's dog had to be put to sleep. Being that we're a tight knit family, this has been hard.
Last night, Wednesday, we found out my father in-law's brain tumor is still growing, and there is a second one up there. They may try to operate if it has not spread to other parts of the body.
On the bright side, we will be moving from a 2 bedroom basement apartment to a 2 story half a house. A witness couple owns the building, and live in the other side. It will be more room for less money. And, we will be within minutes of where Steph works and the Kingdom Hall.
I'm working on a web page and windows service team. The web page takes information from a photographer about images they will post on our FTP server. The windows service will sit on the server, and watch for this information to be posted to the database server. It will then take the images, and resize them twice. One copy for thumbnails, and one for previewing. It will then activate the images on the website, and the photographer can group and adjust the images as much as he wants.
For info on windows services click here. It's very educational, and I'll be putting it on my Tech Links page.

JustRite Santa Tag
August 30, 2010 at 9:44 pm 2 comments
This is an entry for the Cardvaark's Challenge for this month: Christmas small cards or tags. The image is a JustRite Santa from the Just Rite 3 1/4″ Vintage Christmas Set. I colored him up with Prisma Pencils and Copics, and used some fabric paint on his hat and coat for that "gleam" (love the texture!)There is stickles on his hat fur and on the Nestability Large Circle Scallop. The red inked border is from the JustRite 3 1/4 Christmas Treasures set. You might not see it from this angle, but I used clear paint on his glasses and eyes to give them a shine. I really liked the effect! The powder blue background was done with chalk and paint daubers. I'm not sure yet if these little guy will go on a gift or a card or be used to make an ornament…but he is ready for action…and well ahead of time (Yay me!)
Thanks for coming for a look! I'm just revitalizing my card blog and am enjoying some challenges! I entered this to the Cardvaark challenge for JustRite Stampers.
Entry filed under: Card Making, JustRite Stampers, Nestabilities.

I tried GeckoOS, Softchip, and NeoGamma but none of them read the discs. The disc channel read real wii dics fine. I think his wii might be too new, he said he got it for Christmas, does that mean it can't read DVDs or is there another reason?

Hotwire Communications is a fast-growing, privately held company that was rapidly outgrowing its headquarters in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania. When they began exploring a new location, they did so quietly without the help of consultants or economic development organizations. Their search led them to purchase a 180,000 square foot building in Fort Lauderdale that was a perfect match with their needs. And they called upon both the city and the state for a $1.9 million incentive package that would seal the deal.
We interview Dan O'Connell, Vice President of Sales for Hotwire Communications and Bob Swindell, President/CEO of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance in this episode.
