I got so distracted by the plagiarizing psycho-bitch that I forgot to update you guys on how much of a great time I had at last Saturday's 80s revival bash at my friend's oh-so-posh flat in oh-so-trendy South Yarra.
If you remember, I mentioned that I will be playing the role of DJ during the said party. My friend called me again the Friday before and told me that the friend who is providing the CD mixer also has a laptop attached to the audio mixer device. I said, "Cool! Does he have iTunes loaded?" Sure enough, he does! He has a 40-gig iPod and has about 20-gig of music loaded into his laptop.
Excellent! I ended up not bringing too many CDs (around 50) and just my trusty iPod. I hooked it up to the laptop with the USB cable, edited the playlists in iTunes, and away we go!
The party was a success! I was very happy with how my outfit turned out. I was wearing a short pleated black skirt, my Cure Bloodflowers tour baby-tee, fishnet stockings, 14-hole Doc Martens, finger-less lace gloves, with my hair all spiky and sprayed with red streaks and glitter. I also had dark make-up and tainted my lips black.
And of course, I could not forget my trusty black eyeglasses.
It was amazing seeing around 30 adults swaying to the music I was playing. It was a big rush for me to see people enjoying the music I chose for them. I could not believe how much my friend trusted me on this task!
Of course, Arnie was close by. He helped me sort through CDs whenever there is a request or he'd run and get me some nibbles and drinks. He was so supportive.
There were some obscure requests from some. I could not believe that someone wanted me to play Terence Trent Darby! I have nothing against the guy, but honestly! That was not the sort of crowd I want to subject to that kind of music!
Everybody appreciated the kind of music I was playing. I played a lot of Cure, Smiths, Depeche Mode... some even howled positively when I played Siouxsie and the Banshees. That's when I thought that these people know their music... and good music at that!
I hope to do this again. My friend thanked me for my help. I thanked him for the opportunity. It was real fun! I don't know if I can do Dj-ing for a living but it is a fun job. Who knows? I'll just see where the tide takes me...

"If you're a purist, this is the kind of game we all miss. Every pitch matters and defensiveplays are remembered." -TOM GLAVINE
PHOENIX – Tom Glavine did not want to make too much of last night's matchup.
Sure, he was facing Randy Johnson in a battle of the two finest left-handers of the last 15 years, two aces who had combined for seven Cy Youngs. But Glavine believed the game was more than just an individual showdown.
"[You] try not to get caught up in me vs. Randy," Glavine said beforehand, "because it's not."
The truth is, though, that's exactly what it was last night. And did both men ever deliver.
Hyped as the first time in major league baseball history that two lefties with 230 or more wins opposed each other, the duo did not disappoint. Matching each other strike for strike, zero for zero, the 38-year-old Glavine and the 40-year-old Johnson embarked on a classic pitcher's duel, the likes of which have been significantly too few and far between.
"If you're a purist, this is the kind of game we all miss," Glavine said after the Mets' 1-0 win over Arizona. "It was fun to be a part of and, hopefully, fun to watch. Every pitch matters and defensive plays are remembered."
So are leadoff homers, especially when they account for the game's only run. Kaz Matsui ignited the Mets by leading off the contest with a solo shot. Nine innings later, Glavine had earned career victory No. 256, and more important, the Mets had snapped their two-game losing streak.
For a May game, last night could not have been more crucial. After an 0-2 start to this road trip, the Mets could have easily seen this seven-game journey tumble into disaster. With Johnson, Brandon Webb, Roy Oswalt, Andy Pettitte and Roger Clemens on the opposing slate, victories were hardly guaranteed.
"Everybody wrote us off, including everyone in this room," Art Howe said, "but we proved them wrong."
Thanks to Glavine. Three times now, he has pitched following consecutive Met losses, and three times he's come through. He has become the team's stopper, and he was magnificent last night.
In 7 2/3 shutout innings, Glavine (5-2) allowed only three hits, all singles. Only two D'backs sniffed second base. Nobody advanced to third.
"He carried us," Howe said.
The only scary frame came in the seventh when Arizona put runners on first and second with two outs for pinch-hitter Greg Colbrunn. But Glavine induced him to line out to short, pumping his fist as Matsui snared it.
Johnson, too, was masterful, going seven strong, allowing just three hits and striking out seven with his 95-mph heater. He declined to speak to reporters afterwards.
Matsui, of course, had never faced Johnson, but if he was intimidated against the finest lefty of the last 20 years, it hardly showed. He quickly got ahead in the count, 1-0, before clobbering a Johnson fastball into the leftfield stands.
"I just didn't want to be overpowered by him," Matsui, who was looking fastball all the way, said. "I don't think you could get a better result."
It was Matsui's third homer of the season. All three have led off a game.
In the eighth, with a runner on first and two outs, Howe pulled Glavine for Braden Looper. The Met closer capitalized on his first save chance in three weeks, recording the final four outs for his fifth save. He has not allowed an earned run in 17 2/3 innings this season.

As for Help meet, Dear God woman, have you no shame? Allowing your children to be around such raging liberals. Surely you know that a little leaven leaveneth the whole bunch. You children will not be a light to them, they will have their light go out. You should be hitting your knees in prayer this very minute. Apologize to your children for your lack of discretion. At no time should they be out of view of you or your husband.
As a cautionary note: you are not letting them chat on the or email each other without someone right there listening or reading emails. If they are speaking on a phone, make sure it is on speaker so that way you can monitor their purity. Generations depend on it. You do have a your generational vision mapped out for the next several hundred years don't you?
I don't know what it is about these Christian homeschooling parents these days. They just don't seem to understand the gravity of the situation and know how hard we worked to be where we are today. No friendship with anyone who doesn't believe like we do. Orthopraxy is of the upmost importance.

Hey guys,
How are you? I genuinely want to know 🙂
Well, today I have a book review for you. I recently bought and read Everything Everything, by Nicola Yoon, after hearing all the hype about it. Honestly, it didn't disappoint.
Book: Everything, Everything, by Nicola Yoon
Published: September 1st 2015
Genre: Young Adult, Romance, Contemporary
Page Count: 320
Goodreads Rating: 4.02
Synopsis (From Goodreads)
My disease is as rare as it is famous. Basically I'm allergic to the world. I don't leave my house, have not left my house in seventeen years. The only people I ever see are my mum and my nurse Carla.
But then one day, a moving truck arrives next door. I look out my window, and I see him. He's tall, lean and wearing all black – black t-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely. He catches me looking and stares at me. I stare right back. His name is Olly.
Maybe we can't predict the future, but we can predict some things. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly. It's almost certainly going to be a disaster.
Maddy is a girl with SCID (Severe Combined Immunodeficiency), which means she can't leave her house without getting sick. So she lives in her own clean bubble world. I liked Maddy as a character. I loved how her character developed throughout the book. She never knew she needed freedom and love and the world, until she almost had it. I didn't really relate to her as a character (except for the appreciation of books), but I found her voice strong, hopeful and quite witty. She had this gorgeous optimism about everything that was really refreshing. Maddy isn't my favourite character ever, but it was enjoyable to read about her.
Olly was gorgeous and I have a bit of a crush on him. He was a very interesting character with his theories and his pessimism about most things. I loved him. He also had this slight vulnerability, which was kind of endearing. His devotion to Maddy was both beautiful and tragic. I really enjoyed reading about Olly.
I loved the idea of this story. SCID is something that I'm personally quite interested in. I actually did a report on it for Advanced Science a few months ago, so I already knew quite a bit about the disease. I found the overall plot and story interesting and it really was a joy to read. I had a few issues, however. I did not like the insta-love. I just didn't have enough time to work out what I thought of it or to truly root for them. It just felt rushed and too quick for me to become invested in it, if that makes sense.
I did grow to love their relationship as the story went on and got to know each other better. It made me smile a bit. The actual plot and pace of the story was perfect, in my opinion. I wanted to keep reading it and didn't want it to finish.
Oh, and the infamous plot twist. I managed to keep away from spoilers before reading this and wasn't really prepared for it. Trust me though, it's mostly a good one and completely changes the outcome of the story. Honestly, I did guess that it was going to happen, beforehand, but it wasn't really obvious. To me, this plot twist did kind of seem like an afterthought, but I think it might have been just me. Overall, I loved the story and there were some beautiful, deep and meaningful, thought-provoking parts.
Writing Style:
I thoroughly enjoyed how this story was told thought Maddy's POV and other documents, media and images. It made the story so much more 3-dimensional. I loved reading Maddy and Olly's IMs, that was a lot of fun. The images were beautiful and it really was a complete joy to read.
The book was beautiful. It was funny, witty and surprisingly meaningful. I had a few problems with the plot, but aside from that I really enjoyed it. It has a bit of a The Fault in Our Stars feel to it (though this one has a slightly better ending, in my opinion.) I would highly recommend this this to anyone who is interested in Young Adult, Contemporary or Romance.
My Rating: 4 stars
What were you thoughts on this book? Have you read it yet? Do you plan to?
I tried a bit of a different layout for this review. Let me know what you think of it, it you think about it at all. I won't take offence if you don't. 🙂
I hope you're having a fabulous day!
Love Ellie ❤

This snuggly dog is Ruby, a 18 months old sharpei mix.
She's a very friendly, very affectionate girl who LOVES nothing more than to be your lapdog.
It was a cold and rainy day, and Ruby sat next to me and we kept each other warm. It was very cozy and I imagine that Ruby would be a good sofa buddy.
Ruby also loves to play- she knows fetch and likes to run back and forth chasing a ball.
She gets along with other dogs, and would be a fun addition to a household.
Also, Ruby has a great range of expressions. She does a very good McKayla Maroney impression here- the "Ruby is not impressed" look:
And this look is probably that of contentment (a warning: be prepared to sit for a long time. Ruby really loves her cuddles).
If you are interested in Ruby, please come visit her in Kennel 30. For more information on Ruby, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com or leave a comment below.

We were back to grey wintry weather today. It stayed dry until late afternoon and now the rain has really set in. The internet is running so slowly that I haven't been able to get any photos onto today's post. I get halfway through the steps and then it just ........ stops. It seems crazy having high tech communications stopped by the weather but until BT change the (more than likely) damaged telephone wires we are left with an abysmal internet that slows to a crawl whenever it rains.
The doctor advised me to rest my knee for a few days so today all I did outside was a little sweeping up of leaves. Having done all my regular indoor jobs including working on the journal and playing my guitar I thought that I might as well put aim for a spotless house. (Ha!) I decided to start on our bedroom where everything that could got a wipe down. That included all my wooden earring trees though I drew the line at cleaning the actual earrings. Peter came in just as I was wiping the tops of the underbed storage boxes and I got a telling off for kneeling. I finished by cleaning my sword which hangs on the wall. I used some cotton buds dampened with lemon juice to take off the various marks and then wiped it carefully while making sure I didn't touch the metal with my fingers as that will cause more marks. Peter has some proper oil for me to use to protect the metal.

The details are a little fuzzy.
It has been a long time, after all.
A long time since a promising career turned into an unceremonious blip in Orioles history.
Gordon Sundin was just 18 when he took the Briggs Stadium mound in relief on Sept. 19, 1956, 50 years ago today.
He started the eighth inning, facing three Detroit Tigers batters.
Sundin, a hard thrower who had signed with the Orioles a year earlier for an eye-popping $50,000, walked his first batter. And his second. One on four pitches; one on five.

"If you don't know where you come from, you don't know where you're going."
In one sentence, John Dall, husband of Scottish-heritage performer Flora MacDonald Gammon, has just defined Asheville's Mountain Dance and Folk Festival.
The 77th-annual event is an embodiment of everything that's original about traditional Appalachian music — an almost exotic concept in these days of anything-goes culture appropriation and genre-melding.
Founded by songcatcher Bascom Lamar Lunsford, the three-day festival recaptures an era in which pickers, cloggers, ballad singers and storytellers come down off the mountainside to share their skills — more than 75 acts in all are slated for this year's event.
Still, it's not a talent show — crowd-pleasing, not showboating, is what's made MDFF the nation's longest continuously running folk festival.
"I find there's some very old spirits amongst the performers," reveals Dall.
While it's cool to see glossy bluegrass bands like Nickel Creek cover a Pavement tune, or ultra-talented newgrassers Yonder Mountain String Band pick to the wheels of a "Crazy Train," it's even more retro to see the all-smiles Cockman family — performing on Saturday — pick and praise the word of Jesus. While religion may not be everybody's bag, it's performers like the Cockmans who give the listener an idea of the real origins of Appalachian music.
Of course, it's not just old-time gospel that reigns at this festival. The overwhelming majority of performers own a background indigenous to the area, and each of their stories is worthy of the back-porch-fable tradition.
Take the elusive Tom McKinney, a Black Mountain-based security guard whose band, the Snowy Mountain Boys, also performs on Saturday. McKinney's legend lies not so much in his picking, but in his world-class tuning talent: Banjo heavyweights such as Bela Fleck are rumored to send him their instruments to be set to the Tom McKinney tone.
Then there's Flora MacDonald Gammon. The Fayetteville native, who plays Saturday, not only displays her Scottish heritage — outfit and all — but also shows a sharp knack for getting audience members interested in their own ancestral lineage.
Infinitely busy, Gammon works every year with the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games as assistant director of music, and with Folkmoot USA, as director of the International Band and as an emcee.
Children are especially drawn to Gammon, who, dulcimer in tow, makes trips to school classrooms to tell students why they should care about their ancestry.
"You wouldn't believe the stuff she gets them to do," Dall says with a laugh. "She goes in dressed in the old style, and that kind of impacts the kids. She never lectures; she involves them naturally. Before too long, she gets them walking down the corridor singing songs.
"She never talks down," Dall goes on. "She talks to your level — she senses that in each individual. No matter what age — 6, 10, 60 — everyone thinks she's talking to them individually."
Tradition also rests high on the mantel for Bobby and Susie Anderson. The husband-and-wife duo own and operate Blue Ridge Music, an Asheville store dedicated to carrying and teaching all things acoustic. Stockers of only high-end instruments, the couple also takes in 150 students on a weekly basis to "promote bluegrass and tradition."
Bobby, whose band Blue Ridge Tradition performs on Thursday, can claim 45 years of plucking experience.
Still, his first experience at MDFF left him quaking.
"He was awestruck the first year," Susie said in a recent interview. "This festival's different from others in that you follow the tradition and please the crowd."
And Susie swears that, traditional or otherwise, acoustic music can even cool adolescent angst.
"A guy brought his 17-year-old son into the store, who had really been into heavy metal," she reports. "But [the teen] recently discovered bluegrass and found it more challenging. I find that when kids get bored with other music, they'll come back to the challenges of bluegrass."
Bascom Lamar Lunsford would be proud. His "children" have carried on his tradition of freezing a portrait of a certain culture and then fleshing it out for a curious audience. Crowd-pleasing is optimal, heritage reigns over appearance, and mountain culture sustains for another year.

The 77th Annual Mountain Dance and Folk Festival, featuring more than 75 traditional acts, starts at 7 p.m. all three nights — Thursday, Aug. 5 through Saturday, Aug. 7 — at Diana Wortham Theatre. Tickets for adults are $10/Thursday night, $12 for Friday and Saturday performances. (Kids' tickets are $5/$6.) See www.folkheritage.org, or call 258-6101, ext. 789, for a full lineup of performers; for tickets, call 257-4530.

Utah to defy federal No Child Left Behind Act
Utah Governor Jon Huntsman (R) signed a measure defying the Bush administration's No Child Left Behind Act, despite administration warnings that the action could threaten $76 million in federal aid, CNN reports.
The legislation gives Utah's education standards priority over federal requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act. It lets education officials ignore provisions of federal law that conflict with the state's program.
The No Child Left Behind Act is designed to promote accountability in our nation's schools. The Utah schools do that by measuring student achievement through the U-PASS, or the Utah Performance Assessment System for Students, system which compares achievement as students progress from grade to grade.
Utah's system meets the federal requirement to measure student progress. In fact, comparing a student's work to his/her past work is a better measure of preformance than the federal system which compares a student to his/her peers. It's better to teach a student to think and grow than it is to teach to a test.

OLATHE, Kan. -- The holiday season is nearing, and it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Mrs. Deets' kindergarten classroom at Green Springs Elementary School in Olathe. But her little helpers don't just bring a smile to people's faces once a year; they do it every day.
Visiting her classroom is like visiting the North Pole at Christmas time. Little hands working hard to bring a smile to those who really need it.
"It makes my heart feel happy. So that other people can be happy again," student Jackson said.
Mrs. Deets' workshop is open year-round.
"Over the last five years we've sent out nearly 500 packages and we've heard back from a lot of those recipients," the teacher said.
Her helpers stay busy making what she calls "smile packages."
"Our goal is to spread kindness. Lots of the packages go to people that are really having a rough time, maybe through death or illness, and we just want them to know that there is hope and there is a smile somewhere even if we don't know them," she said.
Every Smile Package is different. Most have letters, toys, even heart-felt drawings.
"We wrote a Smile Package to a soldier who that has just started at basic training. He was having kind of a hard time away from his family for the first time so we just want to tell him, thanks for being brave, thanks for supporting our country," Mrs. Deets said.
And as the kiddos are beginning to see, sometimes it takes something very little to leave an impression that's very big.
"They're smiling things to make other people happy," Jackson described.
This workshop is learning at a very early age about compassion and empathy. Mrs. Deets started the project 15 years ago in one of her classrooms and over the years it's evolved into a massive undertaking.
"Last year my kindergarten class wrote 150 letters to everybody from cancer patients to people who have lost a sibling, to veterans, to anybody who needs a smile. We send out the package to anyone who needs a smile," she explained.

It's the Little Things
I've knitted my first pair of mittens! They are so tiny and cute. I'm shipping them off to The Soaring Eagles Project. It's a great use of little bits and bobs of scrap yarn.

We were well into the war by 1943, and the underground stations after six in the evening were a pathetic sight. Londoners in their thousands carried their blankets, gas masks and few worldly treasures down underground where they would spend the night, never knowing whether or not their homes would still be standing in the morning. The platforms were cold and draughty and stank of body odor and urine. I felt so sorry for the children who had to be restrained so that they would not trip and fall onto the live tracks. Commuters had to step over the sleeping bodies to get into the trains.
The effects of the war came quite quickly. First there were the blackouts, then food shortages and the rationing of clothes and household goods. Everything manufactured had the "Utility" label. Meals in restaurants were limited to half a crown, no matter if you dined at the Ritz or Lyons Corner House, one learned daily to adjust. It is absolutely amazing that, although a besieged Island, no one in England starved while, later, in Germany, France, Holland and Russia etc. some people searched the fields all day in the hope of finding a potato. But we had rationing and we survived, we were never sick; in fact it is said that the nation was healthier then than ever before, or since.
The underground trains did not always run on time and one evening, after going to a dance, I missed the last train home. Foolishly, the next day I did not think to phone my parents to tell them I was alright (we were not allowed to use the office phones), not thinking that they would be worried in case I had been killed in an air raid. When I returned home the following evening all hell broke loose. Father was having a brainstorm and I was the centre of his rage, which I deserved for causing them a sleepless night and anxious day, although they could have rung the office to see if I was alright. Father chased me round the house, threatening to kill me, and I knew I had to stop him somehow. I looked round for something with which to hit him and saw that I had to choose between a heavy cut glass vase and a little pottery jug. In a split second I realized that if I hit him with the heavy vase I could kill him, so I grabbed the pottery jug which I smashed over his head - it barely slowed him down. Mother, Maureen and I fled to my bedroom where we pushed the wardrobe across the door. As we stood there, shaking and gasping for breath, Mother said "You know Cynth, I was very fond of that little jug!".
When the worst of his rage seemed to have subsided, we emerged from the barricaded room only to find father standing there, with a small suitcase which he instructed me to fill and "get the hell out!" There wasn't much to fill it with - a change of underwear, some old shoes and a dress or two, but fortunately it was summer and fairly warm. So, at nine p.m. with a suitcase, half a crown in my pocket and nowhere to go, I left home. I was seventeen years old. Somehow I found the telephone number of a woman I had worked with at Columbia Pictures, so I called her from a phone box and she agreed to put me up for a couple of days.
I must have looked a sight, sitting in the underground train on my way back to London. Tears were running down my face, which was none too clean. Two sailors sitting opposite kept looking at me and followed me when I reached my station. Going up the escalator the locks on the wretched case burst open, and the pathetic contents went cascading down the moving stairs with the sailors scrambling to pick them up. I was mortified. I don't remember where my friend lived, or how I got there.
The following morning Father phoned me at the office, crying and full or remorse, asking me to go back home, I said no and Mother was desolate. I felt guilty at leaving Mother and Maureen alone but I simply wanted to get away. Somehow I would survive, although I had no idea how.

A massive, 1,500-year-old stone complex that may have been built by nomad tribes has been discovered near the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea in Kazakhstan.
The complex contains numerous stone structures sprawled over about 300 acres (120 hectares) of land, or more than 200 American football fields, archaeologists reported recently in the journal Ancient Civilizations from Scythia to Siberia.
"When the area was examined in detail, several types of stone structures were identified," archaeologists Andrey Astafiev, of the Mangistaus State Historical and Cultural Reserve; and Evgeniï Bogdanov, of the Russian Academy of Sciences Siberian Department's Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography, wrote in the journal article. The smallest stone structures are only 13 feet by 13 feet (4 by 4 meters), and the biggest are 112 feet by 79 feet (34 by 24 m).

WEB Notes: I realize things are bad in Venezuela, but how much of this is exaggerated? We know the current global structure would love to absorb Venezuela, that is no secret. The people in the photos do not appear to be starving to me. Further, the article mentions, 'the people woke up hungry because they did not have money to buy food'. Either that is poor writing or someone is trying to pull the wool over our eyes. I wake up hungry because it is breakfast time. Maybe I am the only critter that happens too.
Venezuelans reported losing on average 11 kilograms (24 lbs) in body weight last year and almost 90 percent now live in poverty, according to a new university study on the impact of a devastating economic crisis and food shortages.
The annual survey, published on Wednesday by three universities, is one of the most closely-followed assessments of Venezuelans' well being amid a government information vacuum and shows a steady rise in poverty and hunger in recent years.
Over 60 percent of Venezuelans surveyed said that during the previous three months they had woken up hungry because they did not have enough money to buy food. About a quarter of the population was eating two or less meals a day, the study showed.

New Years Day was spent with family, and due to unexpected fatigue on New Years Eve, our yearly tradition of playing cards after dinner was broken in favour of Monopoly. You see every New Years Eve we play Monopoly with my parents. A once yearly occasions due to the length of the game and the fact that my Dad always cheats. But because both my Dad and I fell asleep on New Years Eve the tradition was broken, which left my Dad feeling a little gutted. Bless him. haha.
Now we're not an over competitive family, but I do feel that Monopoly brings out the worst in people, and numerous times throughout the game I had to remind myself (and my husband) that it was only a game.
We may or may not have used my Dad's own tricks against him to let my Nanna win, who was left feeling rather confused by the end at having completed the game with more money than I've even seen anyone finish with.
I love these evenings with the family. They all really remind me of the great things I have in my life, and how at times I really take them for granted. Bring on the good times and remember that no matter how hard things get there's always some good in the world, and most of the time it's closer than you think.

Manchester City race ahead in close chase for Marco Reus
Manchester City (5/2 to lift the Premier League) have apparently stepped up their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund talisman Marco Reus, edging their way to the front of a queue also containing domestic rivals Arsenal and Chelsea.
The German giants have been keen to rebuff and deny talk of top stars such as Reus departing the Westfalenstadion, and recently engaged in a public war of words with bitter Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich over what they believed were attempts to unsettle the star.
It is believed if forced, coach Jurgen Klopp would prefer to sell abroad, but model player Reus would be almost impossible for City to poach in January. The 25-year-old wing wizard is reported to have a £20m buy-out clause that comes into effect next summer, and is yet to sign a new deal with his hometown club, alerting the attention of Europe's elite.
Dortmund have recently illustrated with the Robert Lewandowski transfer saga that they would prefer to hold their best players to their contracts, though, even if that means losing them for less later.
City are one of many clubs circling, but have apparently now made an official enquiry and are keeping close tabs on the situation, supposedly asking for immediate updates. The Blue half of Manchester have already witnessed their target's talent first-hand, after Reus netted against them in a 2012 Champions League clash.
Fleet-footed Reus has been one of the Bundesliga's brightest lights in recent seasons, and the electric attacker netted a career-best 23 goals in all competitions last campaign before cruelly missing out on a chance to represent Germany at the World Cup.
The Dortmund academy product suffered an ankle injury just before the finals in Brazil, and is currently making a slow return to first-team football. Despite his recovery issues, Reus has still managed to notch up a goal and an assist in his two Bundesliga appearances so far.
If City could snatch the much-sought after midfielder for just £20m, it would likely be one of the Premier League's best ever bargains. With the prolific German talent in such high demand, it makes sense for the Sky Blues to curry favour with Dortmund ahead of next summer's potential transfer wrangle.
Versatile Reus, who can play a wide or central role in attacking midfield, would slot seamlessly into Manuel Pellegrini's title-chasing side, dovetailing with the likes of Sergio Aguero and David Silva. His potential arrival would likely relegate currently injured Samir Nasri to a place on the bench, but Reus' record of German efficiency speaks for itself.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with four-leaf clover.
The shamrock is a three-leafed old white clover. It is known as a symbol of Ireland. The name shamrock is derived from Irish seamróg, which is thediminutive version of the Irish word for clover (seamair).
It is sometimes of the variety Trifolium repens (white clover, Irish: seamair bhán) but today usually Trifolium dubium (lesser clover, Irish: seamair bhuí). However, other three-leafed plants — such as Medicago lupulina, Trifolium pratense, and Oxalis — are sometimes designated as shamrocks. The shamrock was traditionally used for its medical properties and was a popular motif in Victorian times.
For more information see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamrock
Badge of Ireland
According to what the Oxford English Dictionary calls "a late tradition" (first recorded in 1726), the plant was used by Saint Patrick to illustrate the Christiandoctrine of the Trinity. However, the posthumous timing of this legend (coming some 1,200 years after his death), and the lack of supporting evidence found in St. Patrick's writings have caused some to question its authenticity.[1] In the pre-Christian era Celtic moon cult the shamrock symbolised the three phases of the moon [2]

Larry Mullen, Jr.
U2 are an Irish rock band from Dublin. Formed in 1976, the group consists of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen, Jr. (drums and percussion). U2's early sound was indebted to post-punk but eventually grew to incorporate influences from many genres of popular music. Throughout the group's musical pursuits, they have maintained a recognisable sound built on melodic instrumentals, highlighted by The Edge's textural guitar playing and Bono's expressive vocals. Their lyrics, often embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal themes and sociopolitical concerns.
U2 formed at Mount Temple Comprehensive School when the members were teenagers with limited musical proficiency. Within four years, they signed to Island Records and released their debut album Boy. By the mid-1980s, they became a top international act. They were more successful as live performers than they were at selling records, until their 1987 breakthrough album The Joshua Tree,[1] which, according to Rolling Stone, elevated the band's stature "from heroes to superstars".[2] Reacting to a sense of musical stagnation and a late-1980s critical backlash against their earnest image and musical direction, the group reinvented themselves with their 1991 hit album Achtung Baby and the accompanying Zoo TV Tour. U2 integrateddance, industrial, and alternative rock influences into their sound and performances, and embraced a more ironic and self-deprecating image. Similar experimentation continued for the remainder of the 1990s with reduced levels of success. U2 regained critical and commercial favour after their 2000 record All That You Can't Leave Behind. On it and the group's subsequent releases, they pursued a more conventional sound while maintaining influences from their earlier musical explorations.
U2 have released 12 studio albums and are among the best-selling groups in popular music, having sold more than 150 million records worldwide. They have won 22 Grammy Awards, more than any other band. In 2005, U2 were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility.Rolling Stone ranked U2 at number 22 in its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time".[3] Throughout their career, as a band and as individuals, they have campaigned for human rights and philanthropic causes, including Amnesty International, the ONE/DATA campaigns, Product Red, and The Edge'sMusic Rising.

Recently appointed Nasdaq CEO Robert Greifeld announced he will cut 80 more jobs, shutter plans for Nasdaq Europe and shelve formal IPO plans as he focuses the electronic marketplace on attracting and retaining company listings and increasing trading market share.
"We want to be the predominant exchange in the U.S., and we will increase our investment, our resources and our management to get there," said Greifeld in an interview. "We will have a maniacal focus on execution."
Since Greifeld's arrival in May, he has slashed jobs, cut costs and tried to reposition Nasdaq to effectively compete with the rising power of the ECNs – as well as the 800-pound gorilla that is the New York Stock Exchange.
"He's cleaning house, dumping non-core businesses, doing the demolition that was needed," said Matt Andresen, head of trading at Sanford C. Bernstein. "The question is, what will he do to manage the core businesses in such a way to return Nasdaq to profitability and make it a high-growth company."
Nasdaq has been under tremendous pressure, as every revenue line in the market place has fallen. New listings are scarce; many tech companies have delisted and other companies have migrated to the Big Board. Trading volume is down and pricing pressure means trading income and tape revenue – the money generated by Nasdaq stocks trading on Nasdaq – have fallen precipitously.
"Nasdaq has some serious issues to deal with and this is a response to the business sand and industry reality," said Kevin O'Hara, CAO and general counsel at Arca, a principal competitor to Nasdaq. "They couldn't keep operating the way they were operating."
Downsizing ambitions
The Nasdaq stunned Wall Street with news it's canceling its long-planned IPO. Here are some problems facing new CEO Robert Greifeld:
* Steady stream of companies defecting to the NYSE
* Declining trade volume on costly new SuperMontage system
* Shrinking revenue from selling market data

Iron Chef Week 2
Our offering, once again, for Iron Chef. It was quite a competition! It took SO MANY MATCHBOX CAR RACES to determine who got to pick ingredients first, and then in which subsequent order following, we thought we'd NEVER get to the cooking!
After an hour of racing, we took an hour for food prep. Really, the food was already cooked, we just had to make it look like something other than fast food and junk food. We Hannibal Prime Cannibals placed 2nd in both Main/Side Dishes (ours was called Teeney Sweeney Doug Pies and Human Growth Hormone Corn) and Desserts (ours was Ghastly Crumb Twinkies.
Such fun! It's nice that people like our cooking. Even when it's made of the 'swill' (Arby's roast beef sandwiches, Dinty Moore stew, spray cheese, Twinkies, Oreos...) we were given!

Lately my days have been filled with opportunities to discuss our shared issues with those in and outside of organized labor groups in Alaska.
I had the privilege of being named the Labor Leader of the Week. You can view the profile at the labor coalition website. The address is http://labor2008.typepad.com/ak/2008/08/labor-leader--3.html.
I was at "Election Central" on Tuesday night as results came in very slowly from across the state. There weren't too many surprises, except the closeness of the battle in the Republican primary for Alaska's one seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Wednesday evening was a wonderful chance to host a table at the AFL-CIO's banquet. I was honored to dine next to George Cannelos of the Denali Commission. We discussed NEA-Alaska's concerns regarding rural teacher housing. He was very receptive and agreed that more needs to be done in this area.
On Thursday, FEA and ESSA leaders, as well as Vice President Tim Parker and Past President Bill Bjork helped me present early endorsement checks to Scott Kawasaki and David Guttenberg. We've now given these checks to nine true friends of eduction. There is much to do in helping them get re-elected.
The biggest news of the week is undoubtedly the selection of Governor Sarah Palin to be the running mate of John McCain. As I greeted the members of the Anchorage Education Association Executive Board on Friday morning, it was impossible not to quote what I certainly believe fits the announcement, "We live in interesting times"!
I'm off to the cabin for a couple of days and then it's on to assist in the LKNEA (Lower Kuskokwim) membership drive. I'm not sure about all the places on the list, but am very happy to be asked to assist in Nightmute and Tununak.
Please have a restful and safe Labor Day weekend.

Much To Do!
Wow! There is so much to be done I need to consult my calendar several times each day to know what's coming up next. Tomorrow I head for Kodiak to work with KIESA and KBEA in their membership drives and member meetings. Today I had the pleasure of presenting early endorsement checks to four of the nine legislators we approved through our PACE process. The checks could not be given earlier due to special sessions. It is not allowable for legislators to accept campaign contributions during regular or special session times. So far, checks have been delivered to Beth Kerttula, Harry Crawford, Berta Gardner, Max Gruenberg, and Hollis French. I also look forward to working with new Anchorage Education Association President Jim Lepley at the Alaska State Fair on Saturday. If you're in the area, please drop by to say hello.

Membership Drives Are Underway
On Monday and Tuesday of this week I had the pleasure of helping the Northwest Arctic Education Association and the Northwest Arctic Education Support Professional Association with their membership drives in Kotzebue. We enjoyed ice cream together, signed up new members, and connected with long time friends. I even got a chance to catch up with a second year teacher in Buckland who was my student when he was in the sixth grade! OK, truthfully it made me feel old, but also rewarded to see a former student beginning a career in education.

The new FX drama "Tyrant" treated journalists and TV aficionados to a taste of the good life on Saturday night when it partnered with the elite dining club Truffl to convert Hollywood's Acabar restaurant-lounge into an event fit for a dictator.
Guests sipped signature cocktails and nibbled snacks before lounging on throw pillows and sofas in a plush lounge to view the pilot episode of the drama created by "Homeland's" Gideon Raff. Contortionists, belly dancers and fire dancers entertained the audience as they made their way to banquet tables where a 14-course dinner of Middle Eastern-inspired dishes like lamb and couscous, flatbreads and grilled cauliflower awaited.
"Tyrant" premieres at 10 p.m. June 24 on FX.

Aristotle was born in Stagira, on the peninsula of Chalcidice in Macedon, N Greece (hence his nickname "the Stagirite"). His father was Nichomachus, court physician to Amyntas III of Macedonia (the father of Philip II of Macedon and grandfather of Alexander the Great), and he was no doubt introduced to Greek medicine and biology at an early age. In 367 B.C., after his father's death he was sent to Athens, and became first a pupil then a teacher at Plato's Academy. He remained there for 20 years, until Plato's death in 347 B.C., and gained a particular reputatoin in rhetoric. Plato was succeeded as head of the Academy by his nephew Speusippus. Perhaps in pique, but more probably because of the rise of anti-Macedonian feeling in Athens, Aristotle left the city to travel for some 12 years with other colleagues and friends from the Academy, notably Theophrastus (his own pupil and eventual successor at the Lyceum). He went first to the new town of Assus in Asia Minor, where Hermeias of Atarneus had invited him to help set up a new school, and where he worked particularly on political theory. He there married Hermeias' niece, Pythias, and after her early death either married Herpyllis or took her as his mistress. In addition to Pythias' daughter (also called Pythias), he and Herpyllis had a son, Nicomachus (named after his father). He was an affectionate and faithful husband, and a caring parent. After three years at the Assus Academy, Aristotle then moved to join a new philosophical circle at Mytilene on Lesbos, where he developed his interest in and study of biology. In c.343 B.C. he was invited by Philip II of Macedon to educate his son, the future Alexander the Great. he was tutor to Alexander for three years, but his influence seems to have been negligible. After a brief spell on his father's property at Stagira, Aristotle returned to Athens in 335 B.C. to found his own school, the Lyceum (near the temple of Apollo Lyceius), where he taught for the next 12 years. His followers became known as peripatetics, supposedly from his practice of walking up and down the peripatos (covered walkway) of the gymnasium during his lectures. He made the Lyceum into a major research center, specializing in history, biology, and zoology, thus complementing the mathematical emphasis of the Platonists at the Academy. Alexander the Great died in 323 B.C., and there was a strong anti-Macedonian reaction in Athens. Aristotle, of course, had long-standing Macedonian connections, and took refuge in Chalcis in Euboea, reportedly saying that he was saving the Athenians from sinning twice against philosophy (Socrates being their first victim). He died the following year. Aristotle's work represents an enormous encyclopedic output over virtually every field of knowledge: logic, metaphysics, ethics, politics, rhetoric, poetry, biology, zoology, physics, and psychology. Indeed, he established many of the areas of enquiry which are today recognizable as separate subjects; and in several cases gave them their names and special terminology. Particular themes which run through his work are the emphasis on teleological explanations, and his analyses of such fundamental dichotomies as matter and form, potentiality and actuality, substance and accident, and particulars and universals. His popular published writings are all lost, and the bulk of the work that survives consists of unpublished material in the form of lecture notes or students' textbooks which were edited and published by Andronicus of Rhodes in the middle of the 1st-C B.C. But even this incomplete corpus is extraordinary for its range, originality, systematization, and sophistication. It exerted an enormous influence on mediaeval philosophy (especially through Aquinas), on Islamic philosophy (especially through Averroes), and indeed on the whole Wetern intellectual and scientific tradition. During the Renaissance he was dubbed "the Master of those that know", or simply "the Philosopher". Aristotle's most widely read books today include the Organon (treatises on logic), Metaphysics (the book written after Physics), Nicomachean Ethics, Politics, Poetics, and De Anima.

James Watt
ames Watt was a genius of many talents who was at the heart of the technological and economic changes in 18th century Britain that have been described as the Industrial Revolution. He was born in Greenock, the son of James Watt (1698-1782), a prosperous merchant and prominent citizen of the Scottish port. He had a talent for mathematics, and trained as a maker of mathematical instruments in Glasgow, making a visit to London to gain professional experience in 1755-6. He gained the acquaintance of the celebrated Dr Joseph Black (1728-99) of Glasgow University who described him as 'a young man possessing most uncommon talents for mechanical knowledge and practice'. He learned German and Italian, took an interest in several new technologies, including the manufacture of porcelain, and carried out surveys of several Scottish waterways, including the Caledonian Canal, that were subsequently praised by Thomas Telford. His main interest was in the improvement of the steam engine, and after erecting several Newcomen engines in Scotland in 1765-6, he took out his first patent, for the separate condenser, in 1769. He moved to Birmingham in 1774 where, he worked in partnership with Matthew Boulton (1728-1809), to develop the steam engine. The first engines to incorporate his improvements were erected in 1776. Initially the Boulton and Watt partnership supplied only drawings, some key components such as valves, and the services of erectors. Watt was only one of many engineers developing steam power in the late 18th century, and his application of sun-and-planet gearing to achieve rotative motion, patented in 1782, was dictated by the granting of a patent to James Pickard for the use of the crank for this purpose. Watt was concerned to ensure that high standards were achieved in his engines, and would use only Swedish iron purchased from merchants in Birmingham for some engine parts. He supplied his first overseas order in 1778, and by 1800, when his patents expired, Boulton & Watt had despatched 24 engines to customers in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Austria, Sweden and Russia.
In the 1790s it became evident that other engine builders, notably the ironmaster John Wilkinson, had infringed the Watt patents by building 'pirate' engines. Watt developed elements of paranoia over such infringements, but after the partners established their own engine-building facilities, by opening the Soho Foundry in 1796, he gradually retired from the business. In the interval of peace that followed the treaty of Amiens in 1802 he visited Frankfurt, Strasburg and Paris. Watt also developed a copying process in 1781. Copies were kept of engine drawings and of the outgoing letters of the partnership, while incoming letters were also preserved, making the Boulton & Watt Collection in Birmingham one of the most important archives of the Industrial Revolution.
Watt retained throughout his life interests in geology, mineralogy and chemistry, and was honoured for his scientific achievements in Russia, the Netherlands and France, but never regarded his own achievements as in any way heroic.

Two killed in another FESTAC robbery
MILES away from the Agbara robbery incident, there was also a hail of bullets, which left two people dead, while two policemen were shot in a crossfire near a commercial bank at 23 Road, FESTAC Town in Amuwo-Odofin local council of Lagos State.
Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) DSP Joe Offor, who confirmed the incident, said the policemen were shot when they engaged the robbers, who dispossessed an unsuspected customer of an undisclosed amount of money as he approached the bank to lodge it in.
According to him, the robbers later escaped through the waterways during the gun duel. While dispelling rumours that the robbers were later shot by soldiers on parade, the police PRO said those shot were mistaken as robbers.
According to him, shortly after the incident, residents in the area saw two men in a Honda Accord car and started shouting thief thief, which forced some military men on parade at the scene to open fire. This, he said, led to the death of two people.
He stressed that the body of the victims, have been deposited to the morgue, while the two policemen were receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital.

a project by the West8 office of Adriaan Geuze
"Jubilee Gardens is a public park created in 1977 (the year of Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee). It remained little but a lawn for the next 35 years.

UPPER SANDUSKY, OH, February 04, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- As made-in-USA products generate renewed interest, makers of the Handy Safety Knife are proud to celebrate 120-years of making every one of their safety ring knives in America. The company's ring knife provides safety managers an innovative, safe and efficient alternative to conventional box cutters and utility knives.
The patented Handy Safety Knife ring knife features a curved blade design, which makes it nearly impossible for the user to cut himself or herself - or anyone else. Worn on the finger like a ring, the knife's professional-grade blade makes it the perfect alternative to typical box cutters and utility knives.
This year, the Handy Twine Knife Company celebrates its 120th anniversary and has been family owned for more than four generations. The Ohio-proud company was founded in 1897 by James R. Caldwell, a US Railway Postal Clerk who had a better idea for cutting twine on mail bundles. Caldwell created his original Handy Ring Knife as a safer, more efficient alternative to the pocketknives used by postal clerks on moving rail cars. Later, the patented cutting tool became know as the Handy Safety Knife - a welcomed solution to helping reduce the risk of injury in the workplace.
The HTK Company's role in Ohio business history and innovation was recognized by the Secretary of State's Ohio Business Profile Program in 2016. The original safety ring is on rotating display at the Smithsonian Postal Museum.
"We are proud to make every one of our safety ring knives in America, just as we have since 1897," says Brian Caldwell, President of HTK Company, Inc. Today the company provides its line of safety knives to customers around the world.
To ensure that employees have the ideal Handy Safety Knife for their specific job or applications, the HTK Company offers four styles to choose from: the Ball Point Safety , Razors Edge , The Original and The Basic, plus vinyl wrap and custom color options.

We had a very relaxing Christmas this year. It started with the two littles chilling in their chairs:
Harper makes me a little more nervous in her chair than Hud ever did. I think it is because a. she likes to stand up in it a lot and b. she falls out of it a lot (which is why I hover close by and catch her every time). :)
Love that we were in pjs most of the day!!!

Parenting A Child With OCD: How Parents Should Deal With Obsessive-Complusive Kids
Having a child with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is one of the greatest challenges that some parents have to face. Some experts suggest some tips on making it a way easier to manage.
First off is to educate the child about OCD, according to Psychcentral. Natasha Daniels, a blogger from Psychcentral, said that her experience with nervous and uncomfortable children has taught her that they can be educated about OCD.
Letting the children know about OCD will help them reshape their mentality. This can be done by properly explaining what OCD is and how does it affects their thinking.
There are many great books that help children understand OCD on a child-friendly level. Parents may become uncomfortable with the word OCD but children actually find great comfort in knowing that their issue has a name. The kids with OCD also find a dose of relief by realizing that they are not alone.
Talking about the "name" for OCD, the second guideline is to try giving OCD some sort of a nickname like "Mr. Bossy." Kids Health Organization said that some children with OCD can be open to their parents about their struggle while some tend not to be transparent as possible. Assigning a specific name for OCD will help the kid feel more comfortable and easy to talk with, especially about this problem.
Kids can be really embarrassed by their thoughts and become dependent on their rituals. When something goes wrong, the tendency of a parent is to admonish the child. It is important to be careful not to let them feel that they are the ones being attacked rather than the OCD itself.
The third guideline is to keep oneself from being overzealous and pointing out all the child's rituals. It is also important to note that a parent should not be part of the child's rituals.
Becoming overzealous with watching out for the rituals can drive the child to be more secretive about his or her OCD issues. But stopping the ritualistic behavior is not an overnight process.
Children with OCD, like any young individual around the world, need love, care, support, and grace. It is important to note that such behavioral problem can either be temporary or permanent. The key is for parents to be patient with their kids with OCD. Their love and support can have the problem solved permanently.
What do you think is the best way to raise a child with OCD? Share your thoughts below.

Welcome back to the playground! Make sure to have fun but no pulling hair or throwing sand! This week we have some interesting topics to cover with you and would love to know what you all think about them, so make sure to tell us in the comments below!
With no further ado we shall begin!
Well, if it wasn't true before it sure is now. Netflix is slowly but surely making sure that none of us do anything but sit on the couch and watch TV until our eyes burn out of the sockets…
This week they not only secured the streaming rights to the hit show The BlackList (and for only $2 million per episode) but they also secured the rights to Gotham… miss last weeks episode… no biggie… cause the show isn't even out yet! That's right folks. Netflix went out and the got the rights to a show that has not even hit the old boob tube yet… Is it just me or is this a little risky? Yes Arrow was a huge hit and a great show but Agents of SHIELD wasn't such a great hit… seems like a gamble to me but one i'm sure will pay off in the end.
Ok, i know I am a little behind with this next one but I have to get it off my chest… I just finished the final season of How I Met your Mother… I loved this show from beginning to…. 2 episodes from the end… For those of you who have not, or didn't care to, see it… let me save you an hour or two. This entire 9 season show all lead up to meeting Ted's wife… we finally met her and then… she dies… and then Ted ends up with Robin… They could have just ended it with the first episode. I felt like it was 9 years of my life i wanted back… an awesome show all together but come on! Can no one write a good ending?!
Now for my favorite part of the week! We get to ask an amazing cosplayer 5 questions and get to know them just a little bit better! This week we have the chance to catch up with Kagzilla Velociraptor! Make sure to check her out on Facebook by clicking here!
1. What is a food that you couldn't live without?
I dunno how to answer this as a foodie there are so many things to limit it to just one. But steak, curry, macaroons, and key lime pie are all in the need category.
2. If you could have any car, what would it be?
my dream car for quite a while has been an Aston Martin Vanquish S. So pretty. I would also take a Shelby Mustang.
3. How many books have you ever read cover to cover? (I think mines like 4 haha not many)
a few hundred at least. It would take days for me to sit down and think them all out.
4. Jello or pudding?
5. What are your plans for the rest of the year?
right now my whole world is revolving around getting stuff ready for PAX Prime. After that im gonna relax as much as I know how.
You can always find more on her facebook and keep up with all the awesome costumes she is putting together!
Well, not to rush off but… well, we gots places to be and people to see… not really. See you guys next week! Till then, leave us your thoughts in the comments below!
