Description of problem:
There appears to be some redraw/refresh problems with mozilla firefox/thunderbird/gimp and the XOrg 'nv' driver? Basically, the cursor/brush leaves a trail wherever is passes through.
These trails do not appear anywhere else(gedit, gnome-terminal, kate). They are also absent if 'vesa' is used instead.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start typing in a text entry field of thunderbird/firefox
2. Move cursor around using the cursor keys
Actual Results:
A trail was left wherever the cursor passed through. They disappear once the screen is repainted (minimize then maximize).
Expected Results:
There should not be any trail created by the cursor/brush.

A Sennelier extra soft pastel is composed of high quality pure pigment grounded with a natural transparent binder.
The high quality composition of "à l'écu" pastels is the result of a perfect balance between binder and pigment. For gradient shades, increasing amounts of mineral fines are added, ultimately tending towards white. The exceptional brightness is the result of the pigment and of the natural mineral fines discovered by Sennelier in 1905 and that have been used ever since.
The manufacturing process of the Sennelier cylindrical pastel does not compress the paste and the pastel dries naturally in open air. The life span of a piece of work is guaranteed by the quality of the pastel, but also by the quality of the substrate. If a lot of overlapping is performed, it is preferable to fix between layers. Avoid, however, fixing the final layer too heavily, as the original vibration of tones will be lost.
The key to Sennelier's colour offering is pigment and in each grouping of colours the first colour in the sequence is made with the natural single pigment type. The colours that follow in the group are a balanced graduation of that pigment towards white.
PLEASE NOTE: Despite being very well packed, sometimes, these Sennelier extra soft pastels might arrive broken or chipped at the ends when being sent by post. This is due to the fact that they are very delicate. This does not detract from the way the pastels work and as such we cannot refund broken pastels unless they are deemed unusable by being shattered into several small pieces.
Great quality, gives excellent depth of colour, smooth, rich brilliant to work with. Daphne Murray (Bangor, United Kingdom) on 31 Mar 2012
The meticulous foam packaging ensured the pastels reached us in perfect condition well done! Gillian Coates (Sunderland, United Kingdom) on 25 Sep 2012
I had a commission for 6 large canvases, and I use a range of materials, including pastels. I have used lower quality pastels in the past, there is a massive difference, the colours are not strong and they create so much dust! Now these are a delight and joy to work with, such rich colours, easily blendable, and not quite so much dust. Will defo be buying again. Such a big range of colours. Also the shops service was absolutely brilliant! I wasn't sure which colours I actually needed since you don't see true colours on the screen (I needed a light flesh colour), so when I phoned for advice, they were fantastic. I got exactly what I needed - the next day!! Brilliant. All round a great experience! Jane Delve (Bridgend, United Kingdom) on 8 Oct 2015

MADISON, Wis. — Josh Jackson came to a postgame press conference here wearing a shirt with the wording "Ego is the Enemy."
There's not much the sensational Iowa junior cornerback is getting wrong these days, but that phrase wasn't right. Ego wasn't the Hawkeyes' problem Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium. Iowa was one grounded football team in a 38-14 loss to 10-0 Wisconsin. Literally grounded.
We knew Wisconsin had a top-shelf defense, but this? Holding the Hawkeyes to 66 yards and zero offensive points?
Offensive incompetence and the Badgers' uber-competent defense were the enemies. Ego probably left the stadium after the third quarter and called an Uber to take it somewhere warmer and safer.
Really, 66 yards? Wow, you don't see that from an Iowa team just any old half-century.
OK, let's interrupt this postmortem to make sure we don't shortchange Jackson. Two interception returns for touchdowns and a forced fumble? A two-game total of five picks and six forced turnovers against the two teams likely to collide in the Big Ten title game, Ohio State and Wisconsin?
An unprecedented two-game stretch from a Hawkeye defensive back. Utterly fantastic. OK, what were we talking about again?
Oh yeah, this mess of an offensive performance. Who's to blame? Call it a team effort. When receivers weren't dropping passes, which was frequently, quarterback Nate Stanley was throwing bad ones. Once, center James Daniels snapped the ball to Stanley when Stanley wasn't looking for it, and Badger linebacker Leon Jacobs picked up the ball and ran it 21 yards to the end zone after it somehow squirted from underneath sprawling Iowa running back Akrum Wadley.
Nothing worked on offense. The quarterback went from Nate the Great in Iowa's 55-24 blasting of Ohio State the week before in Iowa City to Stymied Stanley here. Mark Twain once said if you don't like the weather in New England now, just wait a few minutes. You could say the same about college football.
Yet, the term "consistency" used by multiple Hawkeye players after the game as being something they need to attain. But they already have it. Iowa doesn't have Wisconsin's defense, but its 'D' deserves better than a 6-4 record. It has shown up for every Big Ten game, even against Penn State.
The offense has been consistent, too, but in the wrong way. It has five Big Ten games of under 20 points, five Big Ten games of under 315 yards.
That amazing thing against Ohio State the previous game was the outlier of outliers, a sky filled with orange stars, yellow moons, pink hearts and green clovers. This was back to the dull gray clouds we saw from the Hawkeyes' offense the other two times they left Iowa's borders, as well as in a few games at Kinnick Stadium.
Adding to the consistency theme, this was the Badgers' fifth win in the last six games against Iowa. By clinching the Big Ten West title Saturday, Wisconsin will go to its fifth league championship game in the seven-year history of the event. Iowa has been to one.
"It's been pretty much a back-and-forth series," Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz said after the game. It has, but not in this decade.
Maybe next year an Iowa offense with more seasoning will play much better against the Badgers in Kinnick, and will hang with them longer in the West title race. But that will require the Hawkeyes elevating their game. Slippage is no more part of Wisconsin football than the West Coast offense or everyone in the stands staying seated between the third and fourth quarters.
"Their defense was better than advertised," Ferentz said, "not that they haven't been playing well all season long, but I can't imagine they've played a better game than that."
"We were confident in everything we were doing," said Badger linebacker Ryan Connelly, "and we didn't think they would be able to move it on us."
Last week against Ohio State was and forever will be Woodshed, Iowa. This day, the Hawkeyes were pulling splinters out of their backsides as they bused home from this house of pain.

Tanya Danielle & Nikki Diamond
Tanya Danielle may have passed for an iceberg on Boob Cruise 2000, but there is no question that in front of a still or video camera, she is an accomplished model with the exceptionally beautiful body of a California bikini model. We ponder the reasons why, but a model with a remote manner having sex is usually extra-exciting to look at, especially when she has a string of anal love beads sticking out of her asshole, as Tanya has in Busty Auditions #2. On the other side of the coin, Nikki Diamond is a heavy-busted, extroverted, sexually heated woman with a badda-boom, superstripper's personality and a highly charged stage presence. Together in Busty Auditions #2, they complement their differences extremely well in a non-stop exhibition of cunt licking, dildo fucking, the above mentioned anal bead stuffing, and lots of breast worship. These stills are just of a taste of their Lesbianetic muff stuffing. Tanya also does a solo masturbation scene in BA#2, with that same kind of distant…

Secondly, she is the mother of the Lee Hsien Loong. Another bloke who stated that, 'singapore isn't ready for a non-chinese PM', whilst doing bugger all to ensure that it will ever be. Rather, nothing is being done to ensure the egalitarian multiculturalism is given anything that lip-service.
Besides this, both have contributed to the oppression and ensuing degeneration of the 'singaporean' persona to the point that, well, the national pastime is eating, shopping and gambling, people are generally averse to all contradiction, and quite unable of critical thought beyond superficial levels. Bigotry, self-absorption and apathy is now the culture of the confucianised singapore of today.
it is not by what we do that we ought to be judged, but what we ought to have done but failed to, given our ability and position to do so.
What part did Lee's wife have to play in all of this. I have no idea. Perhaps she was a gentle nice women who couldn't talk her husband and son out of their stances. Perhaps she knew no better. What I do know is that her existence did nothing to deter her husband and son from what they did. And in this, she became a part of the problem and not the solution. She may have very well been a very nice gentle person. But it is not by what we do that we ought to be judged, but what we ought to have done but failed to, given our ability and position to do so.
What is it about the death of some prominent person that leads people to queue for miles to say 'bye' to a person whom we were not allowed to have tea with whilst they were alive. Perhaps in death, we recognise some similarity between our experiences as it is something we all have to contend with in our own lives and with our own friends and families.
Perhaps, in the ability to look upon the mortal coil of a prominent person bereft of life, we can attempt to convince ourselves that we are no different, that we are equals.
Or perhaps, being able to say a final farewell by filing past the body of a prominent other is one way to feel that we are ourselves significant enough to be able to do so. Something like having a 'manchester united' banner at the rear window of one's car; owning a lock of Lennon's hair; or some celeb's toilet seat resplendent with stains of varying sizes and tones; or even sitting at the feet of some prominent oppositional leader, as do the minions of singapore's 'oppositional' sector; or wearing a t-shirt that reads, 'I was in Rome at the coronation of the Holy Roman Emperor and all I got was this t-shirt'.
The significance of a person is not vindicated by the approbation of the relatively insignificant, especially where the former is responsible for the insignificance of the latter.
The Lees have lived and thrived at the expense and diminution of many. I won't say, 'rest in peace', i'd say, 'go answer for your sins', as i will mine despite the good i've done.Or perhaps, in being able to send condolences to a prominent person, or say that we queued for hours to do the 'file past', or sat in sackcloth and ashes and gnashed our teeth and beat our breasts let's us feel that we are truly good and nice people. And by being able to do so at the death of the prominent enables our appreciation of our goodness to be further amplified by its being exhibited and expressed at a prominent event. Something like the difference between crying at a grave located at Hakeldama as opposed to Golgotha.
And does this not simply enable us to put up with all sorts of inequalities in our lifetimes because, in death, we are all equals? All of these, I suppose, contribute to the maintenance of oppression, inequality and, in the longer run, the refinement of fascism via the dulling of the senses of the masses to the point that they might be reduced enough to not know better.
So, as far as tributes to Lee's wife and mother goes, as stated in the comments section of other sites, the achievements of her husband and son, financially and politically, at the expense of the people, is tribute enough. I'll leave the dead to bury the dead.

David H. Hackworth
30 April 1996
The American people don't have a lot of faith in the news media. Nor do I, from what I've seen first-hand on my beat.
A recent Harris Poll report shows only 14 percent of the people surveyed had "a great deal" of confidence in the press, while 57 percent had "only some" and 30 percent said "hardly any."
The poll showed the media rated just above Congress in the trust department and Bill Clinton actually rated higher than the media in this truth poll.
Desert Storm showed just how bad the vast majority of our so called "war correspondents" and "defense experts" are. Few called the action correctly. Most predicted a World War II-like bloodbath, and the vast majority made jerks out of themselves and their profession.
Remember CNN's Charlie Jeko donning his gas mask during his imagined "Iraqi chemical attacks," tearing off to a hotel bunker during his cooked up "Iraqi air attacks" and hyping the SCUD attacks in a twisted attempt to make himself a TV version of Ernie Pyle?
Not exactly accurate reporting.
Remember the Persian Gulf press briefings? The Washington Post's Henry Allen wrote at the time "Reporters look like fools, nit-pickers and egomaniacs; like dilettantes who have spent exactly none of their lives on the end of a gun or even a shovel; dinner party commandos, slouching inquisitors, collegiate spitball artists; people who have never been in a fistfight much less combat; a whining, self-righteous, upper-middle-class mob jostling for whatever tiny flakes of fame may settle on their shoulders..."
In military matters today's media not only blows it when the bullets fly, but many do the same sorry job of reporting when it comes to the misuse of our defense dollars. Few defense reporters focus on the hard-to-dig-up items dealing with waste, corruption, and abuse of taxpayers dollars that the Pentagon squanders by the Brink armored car load.
Instead of nailing three Air Force generals for overpaying a cool half billion taxpayer dollars on the C-17 aircraft contract, what does the media breathlessly report by the TV hour and newspaper truckload: "Tailhook sex scandal;" "U.S. Army woman soldier raped in Bosnia;" and "Skinheads in the U.S. military."
Most so called defense reporters cannot tell a Bradley Fighting Vehicle from a dump truck. Allen, a former Marine grunt who fought in Vietnam and who is a GI's war correspondent, says today's media instead of drawing "their staffs from high-school graduates, failed novelists and the occasional aristocrat looking to get his hands smudged" now select their defense crew "from people who had grown up in the class segregation of upscale suburbs, day-school products who had never been in places where you don't let your mouth write checks that your butt can't cash, had never even been yelled at with the professional finesse of a drill sergeant, a construction boss or a shop teacher."
Allen continues to hit the target dead center "The most important experience in their life had been college. During the summers, they had internships, not jobs... After the draft ended, virtually none of them even knew anyone who had been in the military, much less served themselves. They were part of what sociologists called the new class, the governing class, the professional class."
America spends almost $300 billion dollars a year preparing for war. Seventeen cents of every tax dollar goes to the Pentagon and over half of all federal employees work for that five-side gunocracy. Yet big national media outfits -- ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and most major newspapers and magazines -- have more people covering either fashion or business than defense and damn few of these are military-wise.
It's not just the defense reporters fault. Many I know who cover the defense beat are smart, graduates of top journalism schools and they want to get it right. They read all the right books and journals, but battle-smarts doesn't come from books but from experience gained from being there. So they're easily conned by the military's professional spinners.
Until the editor's and publishers look beyond the profit bottom-line and hire qualified reporters capable of reporting the truth the American public will not be well served.

Tibetan refugees demand freedom from China on World Human Rights DayDecember 10th, 2007 - 5:32 pm ICT by admin
New Delhi, Dec.10 (ANI): Thousands of Tibetan refugees participated in rally here today, demanding freedom for Tibet and other regions 'occupied' by China.
The protest marked the conclusion of the campaign titled 'Intensive Year of Support to Tibetan Cause', which coincided with World Human Rights Day.
"Today, on Human Rights Day, it is ironical that the basic rights of Tibetans are being violated and our religion is also under threat. We have been protesting for our rights under the leadership of the Dalai Lama and shall continue to do so. We are staging these demonstrations and taking out these rallies not only in India but world across on this day," said Acharya Yashiv, a protesting Indian Tibetan.
Reasoning out that a free and independent Tibet would ensure peace and security on India's northern borders, the protesters said they wanted the Indian Government to adopt a 'reasonable and self respecting' position on Tibet and influence the Chinese Government to find a peaceful solution to the Tibetan problem.
The Tibetans have accused Beijing of corrupting and altering traditional Tibetan society by closing monasteries and restricting religious activity since 1950, when they occupied the area through an act of aggression.
China, however, claims that the Tibetans are free to practice their religion.
It is a known fact that public servants are regularly banned from observing traditional festivals, including the Dalai Lama's birthday, whom China regards as a separatist.
About 130,000 Tibetan refugees are now settled in different parts of India with the Dalai Lama establishing his headquarters in Dharamsala.
Exiled Tibetan politicians and activists say the younger generation is frustrated. Some have called for securing their independence from Chinese rule through violence. (ANI)

Two Killed As Amtrak Train Collides With CSX Freight Train In South Carolina
CAYCE, SC -- At least two people are dead and 70 people injured after a passenger train smashed into a freight train in South Carolina this morning.
South Carolina Red Cross Spokesman Cuthbert Langley said those injuries range from scrapes to broken bones. The injured have been taken to local hospitals. It's not clear if the fatalities were on the passenger train or freight train.
Amtrak reports the Silver Service train operating between New York and Miami hit a CSX freight train a around 2:35 a.m. Eastern time in Cayce near the capital of Columbia. The lead engine and some passenger cars derailed.
The Amtrak train was carrying 139 passengers and eight crew members. The Red Cross reports hazmat crews responded to a five-thousand gallon fuel leak from the freight train.

When our family first moved into our home five years ago, the central heating and air unit were brand new. We never considered that there would be a time when it would not be operating as we wanted it to. When the time to buy a new unit came, we found that the available options were more diverse than we thought. It was all too confusing. After researching the different options, I decided to create this blog. My hope is that others who are faced with this decision can find easy-to-understand information that can aid in quickly making an informed decision.
Construction & Contractors Blog
If you own property, you may find that there are low areas in your yard that collect water in the warmer months. The dangers of those pools of still water include mosquitoes and mosquito larvae, which could be carrying everything from avian flu to malaria, depending on where you live. If you want to remove those low-lying areas and even out the lumps, a land surveyor can help in the following ways.
Surveying for Water Indicators
Land surveyors are trained on how to spot possible water table indicators on the surface of the land. Geological features, which the surveyor documents, can be excellent indicators for how much water surfaces in the spring and how little water the ground in an area absorbs when rains are heavy. Knowing which areas on your property have overly saturated water tables below will help you and a landscaper decide how to fill these areas in and what to use to keep standing water from accumulating.
Surveying for Elevations
Both elevations above sea level and elevations above the surrounding bodies of water are critical to how much water floods your property annually. In fact, these measurements are the same ones surveyors use to decide if you live in a flood plain or are likely to be flooded out by a nearby body of water. If your land is below sea level or below the recorded average height of the nearest river or lake, you are very likely to experience giant puddles in your yard frequently. Increasing the overall elevation of your property may be achieved by leveling out any little bumps or hills in the yard, and then adding more soil and turf on top of it.
Surveying for Soil Quality and Quantity
Living on an urban island means you probably experience quite a bit of flooding. This is because the land your home is perched on is mostly sand or loamy dirt. A surveyor takes measurements of the depth of the soil and types of soil found in your yard. He or she then provides an accurate assessment of soil quality and quantity, which aids your landscaper in deciding how much and what types of soil, dirt, and turf to install in your yard. Increasing the type of soil or dirt in your yard that absorbs a lot of water without becoming a marsh or pushing the water off to create drier land is the ultimate plan of the landscaping contractor, and the surveyor's skills, measurements, and assessments will help your landscaper with that immensely.
Contact a surveyor from a company like Community Sciences Corporation today to set up an appointment to have your land surveyed.Share

It has become evident that quite a bit of clear-cutting has been occurring in the Sierra Nevada by Sierra Pacific Industries. Large patches of forest have been removed from private land, where clear-cutting is legal. This is having adverse effects: silt-runoff, which dirties our valuable drinking water; increased risk of forest fires; loss of important and diverse wildlife; and the loss of the beauty that the Sierra Nevada is famous for.
Sierra Pacific does not have to stop logging altogether, but instead use selective logging, which would be advantageous to the company as well. SPI would not exhaust its wood supply so tree plantations would have to be the only source for logging. Plantations actually have a harder time growing due to lack of diversity and the fact that the trees are often planted too closely.
We strongly urge those that share our concerns to get involved. With help, SPI will have no choice but to listen to the public opinion and put a stop to clear-cutting activities.

When I wake, I am thankful to be able to see clearly again. On November 23, 2014, I was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. My retinas hemorrhaged. As a photographer, I was devastated. My eye doctor told me, my vision may never be restored. 5 months later, I still have some blurry vision in my left eye and in my right I am about 99% back to normal.
Why I tell you this? Each morning, I inch out of bed, and pull back the window shades, and the early sun beams brings joy to me. I realize I have the best job in the world. I document love, beauty, uniqueness, memories, and you.

So I've been sitting here for a good bit, now, trying to come up with the words to describe Lindsey and Mateo's wedding this past weekend. At this point, I can't do anything but conclude that I just don't have the words at my disposal to accurately convey how absolutely awesome this entire day was. And I know a lot of adjectives, y'all - so that's saying something.
The key ingredient to an amazing wedding day is pretty simple: amazing people. Family and friends are the absolute heart of a wedding day - they're what make up the fun and the laughter and the joy that makes the whole thing so magical and memorable. In addition to being flat-out wonderful people themselves, Lindsey and Mateo had a huge contingent of family and friends just as warm and friendly and fun as they are. From the second I arrived for the getting-ready portion of the day, I genuinely felt like family to every single person I interacted with all day. By the end of the night, I felt like I'd made approximately a million new friends and attended one amazing party, during which I just happened to have a camera in my hands.
Weddings like this one always serve to remind me how truly magical marriage can be - so many fun and fantastic things made my job so much fun and so easy throughout the entire day. Lindsey's grandmother served as her flower girl, the couple's first dance segued from a classic number into a fun (and impressively executed) Columbian dance. Mateo salsa danced with his mother for their first dance, and grandparents got down on the dance floor like nobody's business. About an hour before the reception was to end, the entire block lost power - but what'd Lindsey and Mateo and all of their people do? They pulled out glow sticks, grabbed a portable speaker, and formed a conga line. The party was not about to stop just because of some finicky power lines.
THAT, my friends, is what makes for an amazing, memorable wedding day. The absolute best of people in attendance, lots of love, and taking the unexpected and running with it.
Here are a few of my favorite moments of this ridiculously amazing day of theirs. <3
The boys suiting up!
Mateo gives his groomsman a pat on the back as they're getting ready.
One of the funniest parts of a wedding day is often watching the groomsmen get dressed. Fancy-wear is complicated.
Mateo reads his note from Lindsey
Bridesmaids' getting-ready shenanigans are no less entertaining than groomsmen's!
Loved, LOVED these images of Lindsey with her grandmother, who served as her flower girl!
A pretty pregnant bridesmaid takes a break before the big show. Just some light reading. ;)
Lindsey's mom, getting ready for the big moment.
Mateo takes the last few minutes before heading down the aisle to hang with the ring bearer.
Mateo's grand entrance.
LOVED Lindsey's grandmother as flower-girl. <3
This kid was not at all sure what to make of this whole wedding-walking thing.
That first look - it gets me EVERY time. Thanks for a great reaction, Mateo!
The looks these two gave each other throughout the ceremony... <3
Sometimes groomsmen crack up over pretty much nothing during the ceremony and CANNOT STOP LAUGHING.
Ladies and gentlemen...we have a runaway.
Yep, Lindsey - I totally caught you peeking. ;)
Locked it DOWN!
This grooms' cake was too funny - a Colombian bus, complete with fruit crate on the top and mud under the wheels!
First dance - classic launching into salsa!
We're going to Colombia!
Selfies in the dark!
No power? No problem. Still got this dancing to music thing HANDLED.
Home-made speaker amplification system. It's SCIENCE.
One of my absolute favorite moments of the night was when the couple was saying goodbye to Lindsey's mom. Loved the moment between these two. <3

As one of the largest SUVs around, the Audi SQ7 delivers all the promises of an Audi 'S' badge. With 'S' body styling, Valcona leather seats and adaptive 'S' air suspension, this vehicle is the height of performance, style and technology.
Thanks to a 4.0 BiTDI quatro V8 engine, the Audi SQ7 offers 435PS of power and an incredible 900Nm of torque. From a standing start, this vehicle can reach 62mph in less than five seconds. In the Q7 range you'll find some of Audi's most innovative new technologies as standard, such as the Audi Smartphone Interface and for the SQ7, the Audi Virtual Cockpit with a 12.3" high-resolution LCD display. Wherever you decide to roam, the adaptable Audi SQ7 comes equipped with a large range of safety features to ensure you and your passengers are protected. For exciting, limitless adventures without worry, the SQ7 represents the very latest in Audi engineering.
The SQ7's bold, impressive exterior is decidedly more sporty than the standard Q7 model, with dual-branch oval twin tailpipes in chrome finish and aluminium effect features, including the door mirror housing and quattro badge. The 20" '5-arm off-road' design alloy wheels with matt titanium-look gloss turned finish and front black painted brake calipers with 'S' logo give the SQ7 a sophisticated, attractive finish.
The Audi SQ7 provides innovative, leading technology that is simple and easy to use. As standard in the SQ7, the Audi Virtual Cockpit replaces the traditional dashboard with an innovative, customisable 12.3" LCD screen. The Audi Smartphone Interface links your smartphone to your car with ease, allowing for safe use of smartphone applications whilst you are driving.
Driver Assistance systems such as the rear-view parking camera and Audi Parking System Plus on the front and rear of the vehicle, aid you with acoustic and visual indicators when parking.
The Audi Pre-sense City can detect the threat of an imminent collision and warn you, before initiating a deceleration action to reduce the speed of the vehicle and if possible, prevent the collision. If the worst should happen the SQ7 is fitted with an airbag system, which can detect the nature and severity of the impact, triggering the appropriate protection for vehicle occupants.
A light and rain sensor turns on your lights when they are required and Cruise Control leaves you to concentrate on your driving. Hill descent control and hill hold assist take the stress out of challenging terrain, whilst seat belt monitoring and tyre pressure loss indicators keep you informed and in control of your vehicle at all times.

Whoever he is, he's chosen a life of poverty for spiritual fulfilment, but seems to be haunted by regrets.
Quite a sad song really; the voice of pragmatism ends up quashing her quest.
ShineYouDiamondon September 26, 2006 Link
+1I'm not sure I'd read a life choice of poverty for spiritual fulfilment. He's poor, and he's religious, but everything else in the song suggests his poverty isn't a choice. (I know I'm responding to a comment that is years old, but I had the song stuck in my head today.)
He sounds much more like he is choosing religion because it's his last refuge. If he was the sort who was searching for spiritual fulfilment, wouldn't he, hopefully, also be the sort of person who would have been in touch with his daughter all these years?0Thanks for your response, it's good to reconsider my first impression of this story. The line 'Back To 1963' does seem to suggest someone who has been devout for quite some time, and (sadly) spirituality often does not go with a successful family life, or even kindness towards our fellow humans. One of the interesting things about this man is that he seems to be hiding away from the world, and his poverty may be either the cause or the result of this. I have to agree with you, however, that it can't safely be said that the life of poverty is his own choice.Flag ShineYouDiamondon July 19, 20140@ShineYouDiamond Okay, I know I'm responding to an 8 year old post, but I wouldn't say the father has chosen a life for spiritual fulfilment. It doesn't sound like he has 'chosen' poverty, but that through some failings, poor planning or just bad luck he is in poverty. I don't see that as having been a choice with religious fulfilment being the other option.

It has been about a decade now that I have been traveling regularly. And the last one year I have been traveling continuously. 'How do you manage to get such odd experiences?' is a question I get asked quite often.
Now, I would like you to imagine that it is the special elite forces training I received that allows me to get such experiences.
But the fact is, I have no special talent. I am just like every other traveler.
The odd thing I do is that I work hard to get out of the tourist trail and to live with a local. Here are three strong reasons why you should try living with a local too on your next trip.
Hidden Delicacies:
Most restaurants are famous for a good reason and that is good food. This is why some of them are frequented by tourists. But ask any proud local and mostly he/she will tell you that the famous tourist restaurant is far from his/her favourite. Those are the hidden places I seek. And there is but one guide in this culinary exploration. The Local.
In Kochi(Kerala, India) during my 25Days25Trains project, Hari Menon took me Hotel Sehiyon on CP Ummer Road. I had no chance in hell of finding this place on my own. They take sea food damn seriously in this hole in the wall restaurant. Had some of the best prawns and fish dishes in this modest outlet. Also tried some odd delicacy here, fried fish eggs.
At less than 500 INR(8USD), two of us had our delicious fills and had to beg the waiters to stop serving.
This is just one of the many gourmet discoveries I was able to make, thanks to locals.
Odd Experiences:
Another reason why I love living with locals(and also hosting travelers) are the raw and interesting experiences that you get access to. For some reason, following a tour group does not give me the satisfaction of having had an real insight into the destination(though that is a personal opinion).
Living with locals has helped me have encounters which are funny, weird or plain interesting.
Recently, I got invited to a Pichação(pronounced as pixa-sao) party in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Pichação is a form of street art where painters use crytpic signatures on walls and compete for the highest spots. It is an underground community because this form of graffiti is classified as vandalism in Brazil. But thanks to a local host, I got a brief insight into pichadores and how they party when they get together.
You might think this picture was clicked at a Bollywood party. But, it wasn't.
This was a wedding in Sri Lanka. Most people on the island nation are Buddhist. That might make you imagine that Sri Lankan weddings must be serene and quiet affairs. They are anything but that.
Most Sri Lankan weddings are a mixture of western & Indian celebrations. There is lots of alcohol, bollywood dancers and an army of photographers. Yes, Sri Lankans take their wedding pictures quite seriously.
And how did I manage to get myself invited? Yes you guessed it right. I was living with a local.
Family Support:
May be I have just been lucky. But my local hosts have always treated me like family(this picture is of my local host family in Rio De Janeiro).
From helping me renew my Brazilian visa to saving me when I was stolen and stranded in Assam, India . Locals have always come to my rescue.
Trips can be challenging at times, but having a local family as your host is the best support system a traveler can have.
I hope these reasons convince you about living with a local the next time you travel(if you aren't doing it already).
'How to live with a local?' you may ask. Well, its simpler than you think.
Airbnb.com: This is the best & most efficient way to start living with locals. I have been using it for years. I both travel and host using this website. Want to get started to #LiveLocal? Its really simple. Create a profile through my link on Airbnb and receive free credit for your next trip. Airbnb is also my partner on 'The 12 Project' and support me with free accommodation in some destinations.
Couchsurfing.com: this is the original hospitality exchange community and is a great resource if you have been using it for years. If it works, its great because you get to stay for free. But like everything free, it has its challenges. Sometimes, I have sent multiple requests without soliciting a response. So I tend to use couchsurfing for meeting people – they do have good events organised by local members of the community.
So ready for travels filled with odd experiences and of exploring hidden treasures? Share your #LiveLocal experiences with us and inspire others to #LiveLocal as well.

By day, the Yucatan capital of Merida is a slow-paced city chock-full of historic sites and Mayan culture. Life here moves at a relaxed place, and with its colorful buildings and historic charm oozing out of virtually every street corner, you'll have no problem settling in and making yourself at home. Merida itself offers no shortage of things to do and places to see. From the city sites in the main square of Plaza de la Independencia to the vibrant local scene at the Lucas de Galvez Market, it's easy to immerse yourself into the cadence of everyday city life. If you're looking to explore the ancient sites outside of the city, Merida is the perfect jumping off point for nearby destinations like Chichen Itza, the town of Cuzuma, and much more. And at the end of the day when the sun goes down, you'll quickly realize one thing- the Yucatan people know how to party. So, no matter what you chose to do during the day, make sure to save some energy for a night out on the town, dancing the night away at any of the city's numerous nightclubs, discos, and bars.

Great books! My son very enjoying writing in them! Just only down side it's not a lots of line and more colouring picture I wish it wouldn't be there.
I ordered these books for my daughters as my eldest has recently started school and is jolly phonic mad. I love the way the books tell the sounds in a story and then give them ample room to practice the letters/sounds they have learnt. A very good learning tool that works with the schools learning and as a multi-pack is extremely good value for money, my daughters have enjoyed doing them
Worth every pennyChildrens brains are like sponges, give them a head start in learning. Top tip, photocopy the pages and do them over and over again... also prolongs the life of the books for the next child
I bought these to give my son some extra help at home. He absolutely loves doing his 'homework'. Just wish that I had bought them a little earlier. Makes learning fun.
These books are fantastic for pre-school and Reception children to practise writing their letters. They are fun, and as well as practising letters they also contain exercises to assist with pen control and other letter learning activities. They have really assisted my son in writing neater (and smaller) and he actually enjoys them and asks to get them out. Would highly recommend.
I haven't tried this product myself as I bought it as a present for my nephew for his birthday, but I am told it's the type of books they use at nursery too.
This is exactly what I was looking for, books to encourage my boys to learn through having fun too. & great price too
The Jolly Phonics series is a great home tool for teaching little ones the alphabet inline with Primary School. This includes seven separate work books with worksheets to complete on each letter of the alphabet, which the pre-school and Primary 1 & 2 Curriculum for Excellence in Scotland follow. Each workbook teaches the alphabet in a fun way, with simple letter recognition, simple writing skills and an action and sound for each letter. Please note Jolly phonics does not teach the alphabet from A-Z, for example the first workbook focuses on the letters: S, A, T, I, P , as this is the best, tried and tested method focusing on the sound used. Ideal for Ages 4+.
Really good quality books, which are being used everyday to help my son. Would recommend to anyone wishing to help their child learn phonics
We have used these for our son, who has just turned 4, alongside the teachers handbook. These books allow him to practice writing the letters we have learnt. Most importantly he has a real motivation to do them and always wants to learn the next letter. Hopefully he will be a bit ahead when he starts school in September!
Excellent products, promptly sent. My grand daughters are both delighted with their introduction to reading . We are already having fun Thank you
Books 4-7 are really good. Stories helps in keeping the child interested in writing. Really valuable for any parent helping their child with their writing.
These books have helped my little boy who is 4 start to learn his letters by the different sounds the letters make. He loves it and loves to go through them. He has just learnt how to write is own name.
I loved letter land and so did my daughter and I taught her the letters using their reading cards and CD (both of which I highly recommend). However, now that my daughter has started Reception I was looking for something else to stimulate her writing as well as her reading, which is coming along very nicely. After reading such positive comments on this Jolly Phonics product, I bought it and it just so happens that it is the same method they are using at her school to teach them the letter. She loves it as she recognises it all. A good way to complement at home, what she's learning at school. Also, it's a great way to get her to practice her writing and do it in short periods of time, broken up by the colouring, which she also enjoys. I also love the way they aid you into what to teach your children when, to gradually build up their reading more and more. A great buy!
These really are excellent books to have for help with your toddlers education. They help so much with there speech and alphabet skills. I photo copy a few pages at a time then we sit and work our way through them while we are being creative. I would definitely recommend the 'Jolly phonics works books 1-7' along with the 'Jolly phonics word book'. They really do help when your not sure how to teach your child there numbers and letters, we're not all teachers. Our toddler is nearly four and we can't believe how much she already knows, they are great preparation for them going to there first School.
My son has just started primary school and the books not only help him, but also myself as I had no clue about jolly phonics and it has a lot of information and games that he enjoys
I'm using this with my grandchildren and find that it is as useful to teach them how to write as it is to teach them how to read. It is a workbook which tackles the essentials of both reading and writing and still manages to make it fun.
We are using these books to help with worksheets for our 8/9 year old children who are learning English as a 2nd or 3rd language. They are really helpful for both the children and the volunteers who are teaching the lessons.
I got to know about these books 5 years ago when my older child was first being introduced to the letters of the alphabets and phonics and because they were so good, I got them again for my younger child who started school last September. These workbooks are brilliant and they teach phonics in the most practical ways. The illustrations in the book can be coloured in and are sure to keep the little learners busy!
My 5 year old daughter in Reception uses the Jolly Phonics scheme at her school. At the moment she does not receive any homework. I ordered these books and she is enjoying them right this minute. It compliments well with what she's learning at school, giving her confidence and developing her reading and writing skills. I recommend this book to anyone who has a child in Reception. It really is that good!
Excellent work books for children going to Reception. English is not my first language and it was difficult to teach phonics to my child. My friend referred this to me ,it is really great. It is easy to use, organized and helps children to learn fast as well.
It's ideal for learning phonics and sounds! Each page contains funny pictures, sign for letter and how it sounds. My son found it easy to remember. Also really good practice for writing ( small and capital), We have really fun time with these books! Really recommended!
Got these books my son who is starting school in September and wanted to give him a taste of phonics (so to speak!) The pages all have little games which lets your child practice pen control and my son loves doing these. You can tackle the books in short stints and lots of games to keep them going. Would recommend!
Fantastic set of books. Links to curriculum and used by our preschool and follows into reception class at school. Great
Although I bought this with my four yeast old in mind, My almost three year old has enjoyed the work books just as much ,and thanks to her older sister is already pointing out letter sounds in her everyday activity's. This product, has I feel given my children a head start on the road to learning!
I learnt about jolly phonics through friends. After checking the review I bought the workbook for my 6years old son who is attending a bilingual French private school. I have noticed immense improvement in his English reading skills, and even after only three weeks now he has started to read by himself. I find the workbook activities engaging and he enjoy doing the activities. so much so, that sometimes he will himself get the books and ask me to help him. This is a great product, worthy of the money.
since I bought this product jolly phonics workbook and really my problems with helping my children to speedup their reading and the way they read are completely enhanced. I recommend this product to a friend.
I used these for my first daughter & now am for my second before she starts school easy little book which have a rhyme for each letter to help them remember, I would also recommend the Jolly Phonics song book.
Really good way to get children interested in letters, words and writing. Highly recommended for all little ones learning to write or practicing their letters.
These books are brilliant, my daughter had no interest in learning until we bought these and she loves them, she is happy to sit down with me and use them, within a week she knew lots of her letters FANTASTIC!
I bought these for my son to do as and when he wished. He struggles with his phonics and these have been a gem. He can pick them up and put them down when he feels yet he still knows where he was at and what he was doing, which is great. They are simple enough for them to do independently which give them a bigger sense of achievement.
My child has just started learning the sounds of letters with the Jolly Phonics Method. My son last year was using a different method and still lacks some of the grasps the basics. It has taken my daughter less than 3 weeks to learn all the letter sounds, she knew the alphabet already so this really does seem the next logical step.
I have used these books for 3 of my children. Schools work with the same principle so it's a great head start!!
I bought these to occupy my granddaughter whilst waiting for her mother to return from work. Having missed the school intake by only eight days last September, she desperately wants to catch up with her older sisters. When she comes in she goes straight for 'her books and pencils'; any alternatives offered are pushed aside. Long may it last!
These have helped a grand child who was struggling with her sounds and handwriting. She couldn't wait for the next book to complete.
Bought 2 sets of these books now, as my little girl liked them so much, that I bought some for her younger brother before he starts school in September. Very informative books, with great little tips to help you understand the 'rules' of the English language. There were some such rules that I hadn't ever realised (or if I had, I had certainly forgotten them), and I must admit, it has not only helped the kids, but it has helped me to explain to them how phonics works, after all, we were taught differently when I was at school! Great price too, would recommend these to anyone with pre-school children.
Really good value for money. Bought this for my 4 year old son who just started phonics at school. He loves practising with these workbooks as they cover the same material as in school but with different exercises.
Bought this for my Managers grandson as he is going to school this year. He is enjoying linking up the books while listening to the songs from the song book along with the finger puppets. Delivery was excellent didn't wait to long. Would definitely recommend this whether your child is going to school or not. Every parent should have it. I would have give this more stars
Have used two of the books and works brilliantly with school curriculum. Really worth getting this version as there are lots of others out there that are not officially working with current national curriculum.
Great activities that are fun to do, your child doesn't realise they are practicing skills they will use the rest of their life. I had to prise these books out of my daughters hands so she would eat. Fully supports the teaching methods & delivery at school so reinforces learning in a fun way. I also bought the poster to go on her wall which is a big hit too. Highly recommended for pre-schoolers & reception class
Really simple and no nonsense approach, if you like teaching 'back in the old days' way, this book is really good.
Along with the Jolly Phonics Word book, I would wholeheartedly advise any parents, carers or teachers to invest in this set of materials. At the regular retail price, they are still well worth it, so at the Amazon special value I believe this to be a sound and worthwhile investment.
I bought these for my granddaughter who starts school in September she has already completed the first book. these look really good I'm very impressed with them and will be getting another set for my nephew who is the same age.
These books have been around since well before the Rose review but they still deliver really reliable activates that develop phonics for young learners, with the reward of some fine motor skills practise (colouring in, to me and you), when everyone can have some peace!
When my daughter started in reception, I was quite apprehensive about her learning to read & spell. I needn't have bothered. This is an excellent teaching system. It is easy for the children to remember, with the 'phonic' actions being addictive. My son has started nursery and even he has managed to surprise his teachers with the ease in which he has picked up on the Jolly-Phonic alphabet. This is an absolute must for any parent whose child has just started (or even about to start) school. Since I bought these books my daughter is constantly pestering me to teach her the next sound/action, even the activates at the back of the book are fun to do!!Go on, give the teachers a helping hand and buy these for your little one!
These are great books, excellent for teaching phonics and a very good price too. I'm teaching my 3year old with them and she is doing really well with these books
I brought these books for my 3 1/2 year old daughter 2 days ago. We have been looking through the first two books together. I think they are brilliant. She has a fairly short attention span (what 3 year old doesn't), but these books managed to hold her attention. Within a couple of days she has managed to identify the letter sounds, and amazingly has just sounded out/blended the word cat. What a fantastic start to her education!!!
I was concerned that my son aged 4.5 would not sit still long enough to do any of the jolly phonics books. I needn't have worried he loves them!.He loves going through the workbooks and he also likes the songbook...He starts reception in 7 weeks so this is going to be a great start for his reading and writing.
My son had just completed the first few weeks of primary one, I bought these book to help him with letter formation, he loves it, they follow the curriculum so helps his learning at school too. Ii would highly recommend this to anyone trying to teach a child. Easy to understand and follow.
Follows what my son is learning in school so is great for use at home
I did a lot of my own research online, books, TV, parents and teachers and finally arrived with the knowledge that teaching phonics was the best way to keen to read and that Jolly Phonics was the best method available. I started off with the phonic songs cod and we both learnt all 42 songs for all the sounds. We also used the phonic poster to remind him about the sounds. Once he started school he started with the first letters from the phonic scheme and my son was happy with this even though he knew the letters already. The school used these work books for him to take home for the parents to complete a few pages on it each week. We did one letter a week and started blending words after they kerns the first 6 letters in the first work book. My son loved learning the songs, actions and writing the letters. The dings helped my son to learn the correct round dir the words and the action helped him to remember what the letter represented. My son learnt the letter sounds with the jolly cod at age three and then did these work books at school reception when he was four years old. The work books are fun and has plenty if word games like drawing a line to match the picture with the letter sound. Plenty of colouring to do also. It is well worth getting the full set if workbooks as you can teach you child from home with the confident you are following a fun structured effective reading and writing scheme. If you are home schooling or giving your child a good start before and during school then this is great. Look at the other products that Jolly phonics do as you can find the mix of products that best work with your child and your self. Once he started recap at 4 he learnt how to form words using the 42 sounds learnt and star
I'm so happy I purchased this set! My daughter's hand writing has improved. Perfect for reception going children. The level becomes harder As the Book number increases. It's easy for 4 year olds and good revision of the concepts taught in school.
I think this method of learning by association is great. It helps the child to remember letters when viewed alongside pictures (then they will eventually remember the letters in their own right without the pictures). Have gotten through book 1 so far. Since there are also activities in the books it helps to keep children engaged.
The product came on time and was as described. The set covers the main phonic sounds and isn't over complicated for children, parents or teachers to use.
I ordered these for my 6 year old boy, who lives and attends school in the Netherlands, attended kindergarten in Germany and speaks English at home. I found this set of books a brilliant aid and found that it was set out in a very logical and fun way for children, its a lovely mix of integrative work, alone work and fun work. My 6 year old learnt to read English very fast with this system and I was so pleased. He always enjoyed out time working on them together and responded very well to the easy way that the pages were set out. Definitely a Good Buy .. Would recommend them to anyone.
Does what it says on the tin. Ties in with the phonics teaching in my daughter's reception class. This multi-pack is value for money. Don't bother with the single books.
Absolutely brilliant. Too many children cannot use sight words or sounds and therefore never learn to read and right properly. My daughter is a kindergarten teacher and she uses these for her classroom - they are that good. They are also great for pre scholars as well.
My daughter loves these books and they are exactly as used in her nursery. Great items as described despatched quickly - very happy
These are great books for children learning to read and write. They mirror what my daughter is learning in school. There are also lots of good pictures to colour.
Great phonic books to support young children with their school work, my 4 year old uses them, although its a struggle to get her to use them as much as I would like!!
Bought these for my 3+ daughter & she just loves them. Very useful & gives her something different from her usual books that we get from the library. Sister in law is a teacher & said these will be good books for her to learn from. Will be looking into more books from the same series.
We bought these for our son (as he got introduced to jolly Phonics at Pre-School, with the Jolly Phonics songs)to take him to the next level, its great fun & is brilliant for learning & introducing your child to the wonderful world of reading/writing & spelling. We are all hooked & his face lights up as all the characters/tunes & rhythms are easy to learn. Well worth it to see your child develop with such ease. Can't recommend this enough
Bought 2 sets for my twins and they both love them very much and its proving very useful to help them get on with their learning. I would greatly recommend this to anyone.
My son isn't 4 yet and is already on book 4. He has started to read 3 letter words and loves learning with these books. It's good for me to refresh my own phonics! He loves it and loves doing the actions.
These books are fib, perfect to work through, really chuffed with them and my son finds them quite fun which is a bonus!
I am very impressed with the condition of the books as I ordered used, they are new. My daughter loves it and it is quite interesting. It take kids through different levels without making them bored. Excellent books.
These were bought for my nephew they arrived very quickly and are as expected he loves them and they great value for price would recommend
I purchased this for my Grand-daughter to help her along with both reading and writing. The workbooks were originally recommended by her school teacher, so Granddad set about following instructions from my daughter to get these and my Grand-daughter's reading and also he ability to also write the words are improving greatly.
These books are fantastic. They are great value for money. My son is aged four and just starting school. He has had no previous experience of letter sounds but with these books he can already recognise the sounds and makes an attempt at writing the letters. He is enthusiastic about looking at the books, he enjoys the actions which go to each sound and also the fact that each page can be coloured in. I would recommend these books to anyone who has young children.
My 4 year old loves this! At his nursery they use these Jolly Phonic books, so he loves repeating it, copying what he's learned at school! What I do is copy the pages, so the books stay empty and he can use them again and again!
I bought the Jolly Phonics series for my daughter when she was 3 1/2 years old and we started using them. By the time she was 4, she was reading so well and now at 5, she can read just about any book, of any level. Jolly Phonics is a really good tool for every child learning to read and I would highly recommend it.
Lovely books. a great to practise writing for reception children (even smaller, or bigger)with a lot of interactive picas and games. Recommended
Excellent set of workbooks. I really wish I had bought this earlier - I have tried and wasted money on many other 'phonic' and letter practice books, phone apps, free printable from the internet that purport to teach letter formation etc. I should have just seen the reviews and gone with this! My little one is almost 4, she has been taught all the phonic sounds at nursery, and she also knows how to write letters (to an extent) and blend sounds. I bought this set mainly for her to practise her letter writing skills and blending sounds. It certainly works. Each page has engaging pictures of objects that start with the letter being practised (my daughter loves to colour them in); and a worksheet - a few lines of lowercase letters and a few uppercase letters as well. At the end of each book are some puzzles/activities. Advantages over the Pride wipe clean worksheets:1. Reusable without erasing I've chosen to make a copy of each page on a copier and handing the copy to my little one to colour in/write (I plan to make more copies as required). This makes it reusable in a way that's better than a wipe-clean book - you get to retain their work.2. Size more natural The size of the letters in the 'worksheet' page is perfect - in Pride wipe clean books they are enormous (why??)3. Can use pencil Since we use copies on A4 printer paper, my child can use a pencil/pen/felt pen/crayon/whatever, unlike a wipe clean book.
An excellent incite into what your child is leering at school. I leave the books around the playroom and my son of 4 years and in reception will pick them up, recognise the letters that he has learnt at school and attempt to colour, write and read the exercises.
brilliant for extra practice at home and for helping soothe the nursery school withdrawals over the holidays! enables parents to be involved in their children's learning.
My youngest LOVES these workbooks. Keeps them on desk - and works through them almost by self! EXCELLENT product. Very clear steps - no 'sudden missing jumps' in the learning process. Highly recommend!
Arrived in specified time, and good price. Really helpful for pre scholars who are in the right frame of mind to give it a go. Assists with pencil control and easy to follow.
I bought these books for my son who is 4.5 and has learnt his letters and phonic sounds but not yet started school. The books are clear and precise and gives practical advice to parents. My criticism is that there is not much practice space with only 1 page for each letter.
my son was excited at first but then he lost it after a few days. But I can say they are good books, with nice drawings to colour, could keep your child busy for a while. For my son he likes spelling and reading more than writing.
We bought this for our four-year-old to help along with his writing and his reading. The books and easy for him to follow, not too much on the page to confuse him. The books also have good picture and letter recognition.
These books are great for introducing your child to learning letters and words, my daughter is 3 and a half and she is now perfect for learning.
Good product, good price, came quickly, a bit too advance for my 3 yr old son but not by much, looking forward to using it very soon.
my son is currently writing and colouring letter sounds using these workbooks. they are great. they have enhanced his handwriting skills. he enjoys the book.
It is a reasonably good set of phonics books. My daughter likes spending time doing the exercisers. It could have more interactive exercisers, so kids are more exited doing them.
Bought 2 sets of the 7 workbooks for my 2 boys - ages 3 and 4. Absolute success. Far better than any other workbook for pre-school kids in terms of the illustrations and lesson sequences. My boys are not the easiest to teach but they love working through these workbooks, visualising sounds, practising their handwriting and learning how to formulate letters. Jolly books are not actually used in their schools so quite new to us. As soon as I scanned the first few pages, I knew straightaway these were written by people who knew their stuff. We are on workbook 1 so many exciting pages ahead :). I wholeheartedly recommend these workbooks.
These books are very good although I think I will wait for my little girl to start school before starting these
Great activities to reinforce the phonics being taught in school. strongly recommend these to anyone who needs a little extra practice!
I bought the jolly phonics book for my 4 yr old girl to help her recognise letters and give her a head start on writing before going to school. After only using the books for a few weeks she can recognise what letter words start with or what letters are in particular words. With regular practice the books encourage the correct way to form letters and will really help when she starts school. I would highly recommend for pre-schoolers!
My daughters school uses the jolly phonics system to teach letters which is why I invested in these books. The books are lovely, each double page is dedicated to one letter and its sound and 6 sounds are covered in each book. Each page has a short sentence mainly using the pages sound and a big picture to colour in, the children can then write there letters on the opposite page initially going over the dotted lines and then there is space available for them to do it themselves. My only complaint about these books is that it would be better for the child to have slightly more space to practice writing the letters.
My 4 year old loved these books. She is learning her letters in school at the moment and gets handouts similar to the pages in these books. The only thing is that the books progress through the letters differently to way they are doing their letters in school, so I have to jump from book to book so as not to confuse her. Overall though, for the price I would definitely recommend them.
Learning using this system, and other phonics-based materials, was straight forward and created a very sound foundation for reading and writing. Using these sounds, you can then grow to reading by sounding out and spelling by sounding out.
I've recently bought these for my 3 year old son who is currently learning his phonics at kindergarten. The layout and pictures are an excellent way to teach kids, as my son is using the exact same pictures of the letter sounds at school, he finds it easy to relate to the book. I suppose if they were different pictures etc he probably would struggle. I have only got through book 1 at the moment therefore cannot comment yet on all the books. The books are easy and simple to use but could have had more content in them overall. They finish too quickly. Overall worth the purchase and at a decent price.
Nothing special compared to other phonic or pre-school books but my Alisha (age 3) loves the set so would definitely recommend!
I used these to photocopy to give to my nursery children who were starting phase 2 phonics to take home.
This book has help my daughter to identify letters I thought she didn't know. well worth the time and money for those kids starting school.
It should reference that you need to get this with the home kit, as these are only the workbooks so not complete in themselves
My 2 and a half year old (who has an aptitude for reading) has started using these books. In themselves they are great for learning sounds and the actions and activities that come with the books help her to remember the sounds the letters make. Very useful system which is easy to learn but I have found that on their own, the books are not enough and am now looking for some other books to complement this learning series.
Good product for children going into reception as it backs up what the school are teaching them and helps them to understand letters
Purchased for my son, he enjoys tracing the letters and shapes, good that can also colour in. One of the books pages were in the wrong order and upside down other than that good educational books
My daughter is not showing much interest in them because they are all black and white and need to be coloured in. I think more colour on the pages to begin with would look more inviting.....
these are the first and so far the only books that my son has no interest in. He is learning to read quite well, but he hates these books, no matter how much I try to encourage him. They are cheaply produced and boring. Waste of money.

Penalty Waiver Supported for the Unsubsidized and Those With Narrow Network Coverage
Penalty Waiver Supported for the Unsubsidized and Those With Narrow Network Coverage
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 30, 2016) - A nationwide survey by AgileHealthInsurance.com found 61 percent of adults polled support a waiver of the Obamacare uninsured penalty for residents in counties with only one Obamacare insurance company who do not qualify for subsidies or lack a health plan option that includes their preferred doctors or hospitals. A minority of respondents, 39 percent, disagreed with the prospect of a waiver and supported the retention of the penalty.
Counties with a single Obamacare insurer are a growing concern. Insurance research firm Avalere predicts one out of three regions in 2017 will face this predicament. The reduction of Obamacare plan options is due to several factors, including the collapse of various health insurance co-ops, along with the departures of UHC, Humana, Aetna and other insurers from various state exchanges.
Single-insurer markets present several challenges for consumers, including diminished price competition and inadequate health care provider network options. A 2015 government study found increased insurer competition on exchanges was associated with lower health insurance premiums. Premiums for benchmark health plans on exchanges were 9 percent lower in counties with three or more insurance companies, compared to counties with only one or two insurers.
The breadth of health care provider networks is also a concern within single-insurer markets. When a market has only one insurer and that insurer's plans are restricted to narrow networks, consumers are at increased risk that their preferred doctors and hospitals will not be covered.
"Heading into the Affordable Care Act's fourth open enrollment, consumers in many parts of the country face fewer choices and higher prices," said Sam Gibbs, executive director of AgileHealthInsurance.com. "These troubling developments beg the question whether consumers should bear the burden of penalties in locations where Obamacare choice is severely limited."
The nationwide survey of 1,164 adults asked, "In counties where there's only one Obamacare insurer left, should the uninsured penalty be waived for people without subsidies or whose preferred doctors are out-of-network?"
The full results of the study can be read in "Most Americans Want Obamacare Penalty Waived When People Have Only One Insurance Company in Their Exchange" on AgileHealthInsurance.com.
Results are based on 1,164 responses to a nationwide survey conducted from Aug. 22, 2016 to Aug. 24, 2016. The survey asked respondents, "In counties where there's only one Obamacare insurer left, should the uninsured penalty be waived for people without subsidies or whose preferred doctors are out-of-network?" Respondents had the option of selecting "No" or "Yes." The answer options were displayed in randomized order across respondents. The survey was displayed within a network of over 100 different news websites and other content sites. Demographic inferencing and methodology to acquire survey respondents who approximate national statistics on age, gender, income, and region was performed by Google-administered technology. Race, education, and health insurance status were not examined. Margin of error across survey responses is estimated at +2.8/-2.8.
AgileHealthInsurance.com was created to educate people about the benefits of term health insurance and provide a fast, online process for purchasing these plans. Term health insurance is a flexible and low-cost major medical insurance for individuals without expensive pre-existing health conditions. It is not Obamacare. Term health plans offer consumers the flexibility to choose health plans with the benefits that matter most to them and combine these benefits with broad provider networks.

The Team has received a bunch of warnings from readers that we should be careful in Mexico. Some email include links to news stories of tourists in Mexico who have been attacked.
We do not worry about banditos in Mexico. We even drive thru California and all over the western United States completely unafraid. Of course we are not careless and do not put ourselves in harms way.
We are prepared!
10AM - Price of fuel in Mexico.
Many readers are curious about the price of fuel here in Mexico? Is fuel cheaper or more expensive than the United States?
As we drove south out of the City of Magdalena this morning, MsTioga stopped at a Pemex gas station to take a peek. Pemex is the federal government of Mexico's auto fuel company and it is a monopoly [no competition].
Diesel Fuel: $5.93 pesos per liter [$2.05US per gallon].
Regular gas: $7.01 pesos per liter [$2.43US per gallon].
MsTioga loves the lower price of fuel here in Mexico!
11:30AM - The City of Santa Ana.
We drove 14 miles south of Magdalena, and came to the City of Santa Ana. It is getting close to lunch time, so we stopped at a place that posted signs for chicken. However, this place turned out NOT to be a restaurant. They sold fresh chicken, for customers to prepare themselves.
After leaving this store, a car pulled up beside MsTioga. It was the owner of the chicken store. She said from her open car window, follow me and I will show you a good place to buy BBQ chicken! Can you imagine that?
3PM - Pueblo of El Llano.
We have made a Nite Camp in the Pueblo of El Llano. The sign states 900 people live in El Llano.
We found a nice street to make our Camp, and went over to the two nearest homes to ask permission to stay the nite. We received that permission.
Very soon a bunch of curious kids came over to find out about MsTioga and The Team. The kids wondered about MsTioga's mural of the mine in Santa Rosalia. So, we brought out a map of Mexico to show them where Santa Rosalia is located.

There is an aphorism in information security: If you don't know what you have, you can't protect it. Unfortunately, all too often companies are unaware of the location of their sensitive data and as a result, they are at a higher risk of being a data breach victim and not even knowing it.
According to a recent survey commissioned by Informatica and distributed on the company's behalf to the readers of SC Magazine, the go-to source for IT security professionals, nearly half of those surveyed did not have a risk profile for their sensitive data. Don't get caught off guard. Join experts from Informatica who will address in detail the challenges companies face in knowing how to recognize sensitive data, discover where their data resides and how to protect it from attackers.Speaker:

ABC television's religious affairs program Compass is currently screening a series of documentaries under the heading Whatever Happened to...?
As the Compass website explains: "In this series Compass revisits radical religious and social movements in Australia's recent past, exploring their impact and legacy."
To date, they've covered the Hare Krishnas and the Charismatics. Tonight's episode, screened at 6:30 pm, is Whatever Happened to... The Kibbutzim. Here's the blurb:
"Episode 3 - The first Kibbutz was founded in Israel just over 100 years ago. A radical socialist experiment, it combined communal living and Zionist philosophy with the aim of 'making the desert bloom'. Soon there were dozens, and training farms were set up in countries like Australia to prepare young people for the physical hardship of kibbutz life where - in exchange for manual labour - volunteers were provided with food, shelter, education and medical care. In the late 60s and 70s many young Australians, Jewish and non-Jewish, went to Israel to join a kibbutz. Why did they go? How has the experience shaped their lives? And do kibbutzim still operate? Compass finds out."
With a Zionist sales pitch like that - making the desert bloom indeed! - I'm afraid it doesn't bode well. Needless to say, I'll be returning with a corrective after the screening if necessary.
But just in case you find yourself asking whether the kibbutz phenomenon isn't perhaps a tad too marginal to be part of a series on Australian religious and social movements, let me remind you that there is still at least one old bugger around who once came under the influence and has never fully recovered from the experience:
"Two weeks pass [following a hip replacement]. And I've been demoted from the Zimmer to crutches to walking stick. And while I become very attached to my tormentors (a variation on the Stockholm Syndrome), it's time to leave [Mater Hospital]. For Wolper, a Jewish hospital nearer home. If you think the Catholics are tough, you haven't been in Wolper. It's like a kibbutz during the Six-Day War. With a hint of Mississippi slave era (Tote that barge, lift that bale.) And I'm going in for 3 days a week for months." (I'm in the hip crowd, Phillip Adams, The Weekend Australian Magazine, 20/7/13)

The biblical prophesy line "make the dessert bloom" is more befitting a reference to Las Vegas Jewish American organized crime figures such as Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel and Meyer Lansky who managed or funded most of the original large casinos.

Don't Australians (at least some of them)have Israel in their DNA?

I don't know about that DNA Anonymous;
you'll have to ask the Nazis or the ZioNazis, because none more than them have taken an interest in pedigree.
