This cutie is the sibling of Kendal, one of my personal favorites. I'm bartering paintings for haircuts with their mom and I love the idea of trading services. Unfortunately, she doesn't have any more kids, so I guess I'll have to start paying her :(

"I will have to go again later this spring if only to drive to Cavendish, a pilgrimage to pay silent tribute to one of the greatest writers of our day -- Alexander Solzhenitsyn. [snip]
From the time I read One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich I have been fascinated by this author, who, to my mind, stands with Chekhov, Tolstoi and Dostoievsky."
It is a lovely hardbound book, (I usually stock up at library sales) and so I hesitate to underline or mark pages as I usually do. As I read interesting passages, I will pass them along to you so that we all can learn a thing or two from his insight. For a brief bio of Solzhenitsyn try here.
Enjoy this passage from his 1978 Harvard commencement speech.
"Western society has chosen for itself the organization best suited to its purposes and one I might call legalistic. The limits of human rights and rightness are determined by a system of laws; such limits are very broad. People in the West have acquired considerable skill in using, interpreting, and manipulating law (though laws tend to be too complicated for an average person to understand without the help of an expert). Every conflict is solved according to the letter of the law and this is considered to be the ultimate solution. If one is right from a legal point of view, nothing more is required, nobody may mention that one could still not be entirely right, and urge self-restraint or a renunciation of these rights, call for sacrifice and selfless risk:This would simply sound absurd. Voluntary self-restraint is almost unheard of: Everybody strives toward further expansion to the extreme limit of the legal frames. [snip]
I have spent all my life under a Communist regime and I will tell you that a society without any objective legal scale is a terrible one indeed. But a society with no other scale but the legal one is also less than worthy of man. A society based on the letter of the law and never reaching any higher fails to take advantage of the full range of human possibilities. The letter of the law is too cold an formal to have a beneficial influence on society. Whenever the tissue of life is woven of legalistic relationships, this creates and atmosphere of spiritual mediocrity that paralyzes man's noblest impulses."
Harvard commencement speech, June 8, 1978 TSR pgs 565-566

It's interesting, the Olentangy for Kids committee used to be about facts and honest campaigning. Now it's just another cog in the district's spin machine.
Just two days ago the OFK site made this statement: Click on the above link for a full listing of the dramatic cuts the district would be forced to make in the event of an issue failure. (emphasis added)
Yesterday, after noting my previous post, they've changed it to this: Click on the above link for a full listing of the dramatic cuts the district plans to make in the event of an issue failure. (emphasis added)
Though, despite that change, they still include this subsequent sentence: The long list below represents only a portion of the losses the district would incur. (emphasis added)
If the committee wants to be forthright, it had better correct this statement so that it also rings true. The district incurs those losses only if the board backs Davis's plan to punish parents; punish them for demanding fiscal accountability by voting NO in March, when a levy is not needed.
So, the committee admits that the superintendent is lying, er, spinning a tall tale, yet the committee is still willing to go along for the ride. Haven't you figured him out by now? Regardless, spinning and obfuscating is not the honest way to campaign across the fence. Don't your friends and neighbors deserve more?
note: Here is the Thursday version from the OFK website, posted for your review.

Adamo's Kitchen Restaurant Review: At first glance, Adamo's doesn't look like much. Sharing a block with a tattoo parlor, laundromat and liquor store, the location leaves much to be desired. But beyond its doors lies a true hidden gem. The small dining room is inviting yet modest, lined with aged brick and oversize prints of Italian landmarks. The menu can best be described as simple, unpretentious Mediterranean, with a few American dishes thrown in for good measure. Try the "sucio" (Spanish slang for dirty) fries, the crispy golden outside balanced with a fluffy interior, topped with poblano sauce, bacon and sour cream. Other highlights included the meatballs and polenta, the latter delicate yet rich enough to stand up to the hearty marinara-doused beef-and-pork meatballs. Homemade pasta is also a win; the "summertime" fettuccine --- with tomatoes, basil and pine nuts --- had plenty of bite and merited its name. A limited selection of beer and wine is available, many of the choices locally produced. Come on Sunday mornings for brunch and bottomless mimosas.

Integrating Technology: Don't Over-Plan?
Have you ever been to an over-planned party? One where the host or hostess has planned every minute of the party so carefully that the guests felt like marionettes? Where the host or hostess, in effect, says "Stop having that un-managed fun, and come over here to do my structured fun instead?" This party planner knows that preparation is vital to a great party, but has not yet learned that the guests need to be able to participate naturally. Some fun can be planned in advance, but some fun must happen spontaneously, based on who attends.
|No, don't start socializing! We haven't played the icebreaker game yet!
We can't help it. We plan.
Teachers are planners. It's what we do.
To keep our students as productive as possible, we plan our classroom management procedures carefully. We prepare rules that keep students focused, and we keep tricks and tools up our sleeves to respond in case a class or a students slides off track.
Like any army general, a good teacher knows that luck favors the prepared. When teachers start a new unit, we carefully considers the standards, and plan effective lessons, activities, and formative and summative assessments. If following the Understanding by Design model by McTighe and Wiggins, we may even plan the assessments before planning lessons and activities, in order to be sure that everything lines up properly.
As best as possible, we are ready. Teachers are planners. It's what we do.
|Pictured: a teacher planning during her "free" period.
Does the content dictate the assessment?
In our classes, content is what our students need to learn. Assessments are vehicles for the students to demonstrate their learning. These two pieces are obviously linked: the assessment should be designed in such a way that learning is clear. A piano student does not demonstrate that she learned a new song by writing a poem about it, and scientific research is not usually well-explained though interpretive dance.
|"Here the atoms form a covalent bond by comparing neo-classical ballet forms to a modern Scandinavian interpretive style."
However, in our zeal to plan the best possible experience for our students, sometimes we over-plan.
If my main objective is for student to understand the causes and impact of the American Civil War, how many ways are there for a student to demonstrate deep understanding? As a teacher, I am tempted to plan the best assessment possible. But best for whom? Do I really know my party guests better than they know themselves?
What if the guests choose the party games?"Class, we are finishing up our unit on Huckleberry Finn. Next Tuesday will be 'Impress Me Day." I want you to team up with a partner, and bring me some kind of project that shows me that what you learned. Focus your project on the main elements we studied, such as setting, dialect, [fill in unit objectives here]. You may use any type of project as long as it: a) shows the depth of your learning, and b) impresses me with your creativity and effort. I'll be inviting [fill in local administrator or outside visitor here] to come and see your projects."
Teachers in the habit of over-planning shudder at this sort of scenario. "What if the students turn in junk?" they might say. "What if they don't do it? What if they have questions I can't answer?"
These are all legitimate questions for a well-planned teacher to ask, but we should remember that even if I carefully scripted a special poster project, delineating the number of illustrations, the number of direct quotes, the size of the poster board, and the types of allowable fonts, these questions would still remain.
|I said 1/2" margins In Helvetica! This is 5/8" margins in Arial! You ruined everything!
What does this have to do with Technology?
Teachers are often under pressure to integrate technology into their lessons. "How am I supposed to integrate technology on top of all the other things I have to do?"
By leaving a project open-ended, you let your student choose the projects and tools that fit best, and you know what? Very often, technology is the tool that makes most sense. Many high school students will naturally find technology tools that fit their project, and the one who don't can be easily re-directed. Kids want to write a play? Tell them you want it on video, preferably on YouTube. They want to write a plain research paper? Tell them to post it in a blog. Some kids have little access to technology? How about a mock text message interview with the book's author (or a real one, if the author is still alive)?
You don't have to specify the technology, because that's not the point. You want a product: students choose the tools to make the product.
The whole point to technology is that it gives us tools to do things. Some tools are better than others for certain tasks, and the ability to choose a technology is more important than the technology itself (says a guy who learned to program in Fortran in college). True technology preparation is in knowing how to select a technology that is the most helpful.
|Anything in this book is more useful than my knowledge of Fortran programming.
Are we really supposed to stop planning? Won't that end in disaster?OK, you got me. Eisenhower once said "Plans are worthless, but planning is everything." We can't really stop planning, because our students depend on us for a strong educational experience. What we really need to do is change what we plan.
In the "Impress Me Day" scenario above, could I, as a good teacher, just sit back and say "No planning needed for this project"? Of course not. But rather than spending my time developing the project guidelines (we've all read the "Project Guidelines" handouts for students; I've even written my share), I should be planning how to evaluate an open-ended project:
- What rubric can I use, or do I need to make one?
- Will students work on this project during class time, or out of school?
- What do I consider sufficient (or proficient) in the demonstration of learning, and, more importantly, how will I communicate this to my students before they begin working?
- How will I judge the good projects from the great ones?
- How will I distinguish between great project content and great project presentation?
- How will that translate into a grade?
Overly idealistic? Sure, maybe. Many student may not be ready for this Utopian model of open-ended-ness. But I would like to suggest that this should be the end goal for high school seniors: that you can say "Impress me" and they can combine their own talents and the best tools available to be impressive. If our students are not quite ready, the best thing we can do is to start getting them ready.
It's hard to give up control. That poor imaginary hostess I've been picking on wanted the best party for all of her guests. So now, instead, because I feel guilty about picking on someone (even an imaginary someone), let's re-invent her scenario:
Our hostess is throwing a great party. The flow of conversion is happening naturally, and the guests are having laughing and enjoying themselves. The hostess is using her time introducing more introverted guests who need encouragement, to help them feel more comfortable. She is providing snacks that her guests will enjoy, and prompting topics of conversation during lulls. She is making sure she checks in on every guest, to be sure everyone has what they need. She is not creating fun, she is letting the fun happen, but she is well planned with everything she needs. In short, she didn't over-plan what everyone would do and say; she planned in advance how to be helpful when needed.
Now go ahead and translate that last paragraph into a classroom again. Better yet, translate it into your classroom. I'll wait here.
|A learning party. Not pictured: the hovering hostess.

Dear Wong & family,
This has been one of our best family holidays ever and I would just like to thank you and your family for allowing my family to share your home.
Chalet Cathay was perfect in every way. Attention to detail throughout the chalet was unbelievable. I cannot imagine many chalets in Switzerland with this level of equipment and standard of decor. The setting, built against the hillside in La Tzoumaz, with views that are breathtaking.
We had a fun-packed week and one we shall all remember for many years to come.
I hope we shall have the opportunity to book Chalet Cathay sometime again. Since returning from our holiday, I note the October 2014 VOGUE magazine lists Chalet Cathay number one in its article titled 'Cool Runnings'. It's certainly number one in our opinion.
We had a truly fantastic couple of weeks at Chalet Cathay. The chalet itself is in a beautiful, peaceful setting and has everything you could wish for and more.
The Alps really is a fantastic place to visit in the Summer and Chalet Cathay is perfectly located to explore, either by jumping on the cable car down the road or a drive further afield. The mountain views are simply stunning but there is so much more… cable cars, lakes, dams, wild flowers, snowball fights, ice tunnels, thermal baths, Swiss National Day fireworks, hiking, climbing, waterfalls, gorges, glaciers, fondue, apricot tart, chocolate…
A wonderful holiday in a lovely chalet.
Our stay at Chalet Cathay was possibly our best family vacation ever. We are spread across opposite sides of the globe, and we couldn't think of a more perfect place for us to reunite.
The chalet is a haven, placed in a picture-perfect setting. From the peak of Mont Fort reached by several gondola rides, to the shopping and dining over the border in Chamonix, the diversity of nearby activities was enough to satisfy all age-groups and lifestyles.
The chalet itself was more than well-equipped with everything you could ever need – even travelling with a small child. It was so welcoming and spacious we were happy on days to simply laze around and not even leave the chalet!
It is rare to find chalet accommodation that lives up to expectations, but Chalet Cathay not only lived up to expectations, but far exceeded them. We had very variable weather during our stay ranging from blistering sunshine to snow and the chalet worked on all occasions, whether it was sitting on the balcony admiring the view of the Rhône valley or relaxing in front of a roaring log fire!
La Tzoumaz itself is a lovely base, ideal for exploring the local towns, the high passes into France and Italy and just enjoying the mountain scenery or even just spending an afternoon in the local pool.
In all we had a great holiday and would recommend it to all, be that families with small children or groups of adults, Chalet Cathay caters for all.
We had a perfect family holiday in La Tzoumaz and the Valais.
Chalet Cathay was absolutely amazing and went beyond our expectations. Everybody loved it. The chalet really has everything you need, even if you are travelling with a baby.
A truly wonderful place!

Had a blast. They wore me out shopping. Do you like my hat?( Go Dog Go-by P D Eastman) Sarah said that I'm officially a dairy farmer, I worried from the moment we left till we pulled back into my driveway.
I do like your hat. The curls really make it though. :)

A perk of connected devices, or at least what gadget manufacturers will tell you, is they can receive over-the-air updates to keep your device current. Those updates don't always go as planned, however. In fact, they can go horribly wrong. Take a company called Lockstate, for example, which attempted to issue new software to its LS6i smart locks last week and ended up bricking devices. That isn't great.
In a statement to The Verge this weekend, the company said a "small subset" of customers' locks were unable to communicate with Lockstate's servers. Again, let me just reiterate: these are locks used to secure physical homes. Okay, I'll keep going.
The company says, "We immediately contacted each and every customer that was affected and we are working to get all affected locks back online. We have already fixed the problem for many of these customers but for some we need to get their locks back for a reset, and then ship it back out to them."
So really, the problem isn't totally solved unless users actually ship their lock back to Lockstate for repairs. Granted, the company will pay for shipping and a year's worth of a premium subscription service, but this is probably the worst-case scenario for smart locks, especially considering Airbnb recommends the 6i. I've previously written about the problems connected devices can introduce, including becoming botnet targets and potentially failing in serious situations. I've also written about other smart locks having poor security. This is the future, though, so just recognize the risks if you want to make your home more connected.

There, they'll locate dozens of repeat offenders, "ethical" breeders with sick pups and hurt and exploited breed canine, as documented by the feds, not animal activists.
Website positioning writing isn't any a lot more sophisticated than writing a typical article to get a magazine, the one difference remaining, you can find several other elements to take into account. But the basics are often the same, that is in which I'm planning to kick this article off.
An internal audit inside the USDA indicated as much. For each a scathing report in 2010 by its Office environment of Inspector Typical, the Section selected to prioritize "instruction" of breeders around punishment, "took little if any enforcement motion towards most violators," failed to respond to "repeat violations," and gathered inadequate proof during the couple prosecutions it brought against felony breeders.

The home on Hilton Lake Highway was unremarkable, a brick one-Tale by having an beneath-watered garden plus a scrimshaw of patchy shrubs. It was flanked by larger and smarter households on a two-lane strip in Cabarrus County, twenty five miles north of Charlotte, North Carolina, but absolutely nothing about it suggested to passersby that inconceivable cruelty lived at this address. It wasn't till we opened the side-lawn entrance which the horror within declared alone. A stench of sophisticated poisons pushed out: cat piss and Pet shit and mould and bleach commingled into a cloud of Uncooked ammonia that singed the hair in our nostrils.
What has vested these two piglets with these kinds of relevance into the FBI is the fact their rescue is currently Section of what has become an significantly obvious public marketing campaign by DxE and other activists to focus on the barbaric struggling and abuse that animals endure on farms like Circle 4.

Puppy shot with crossbow is adopted
LA PLATA COUNTY, Colo. — A puppy that was shot in the leg with a crossbow bolt has been adopted, the La Plata County Humane Society said Friday.
Bow, the 3-month-old Jack Russell/Shepherd mix puppy had a crossbow bolt in him when he was found in Shiprock, N.M.
He was taken to the Farmington, New Mexico Animal Shelter where veterinarians surgically removed the arrow. He was then put into a foster home for rehabilitation.
Bow was transferred to the La Plata County Humane Society in Durango, Colo. because of the overwhelming number of animals they have to care for at the Farmington shelter.
"Bow has become somewhat of a celebrity in the Durango area," said LPCHS Director or Animal Services Chris Nelson.
The shelter received over 20 applications and over 50 phone calls and e-mails from people interested in him. The requests came from locations ranging from California to Indiana, Nelson said.
His new family are locals to the Four Corners area.
"He's had a rough time in life at first, but now Bow has been adopted and is on his way to finding happiness," Nelson said.
LPCHS said they handle more than 3,000 animals in southwestern Colorado every year.AlertMe

The Blessed Sacrament - Quotations
Jesus had just declared - ""Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me. This is the bread which came down from heaven, not such as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live for ever." (John 6:53-57)
This Sunday's Gospel reading follows this passage. Many followers left Jesus because of this "hard saying."
Yet the Blessed Sacrament - his Flesh and Blood - remain a precious gift for us all to this day.
"Farmers everywhere provide bread for all humanity, but it is Christ alone who is the bread of life…Even if all the physical hunger of the world were satisfied, even if everyone who is hungry were fed by his or her own labor or by the generosity of others, the deepest hunger of man would still exist…Therefore, I say, Come, all of you, to Christ. He is the bread of life. Come to Christ and you will never be hungry again…" - Pope John Paul II
"What does it matter where we go? Wherever we go, won't we be serving God there? And wherever we go, won't we have Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament with us? Isn't that enough to make us happy?" - The Venerable Father Solanus Casey
"I believe that You, O Jesus, are in the most holy Sacrament. I love You and desire You. Come into my heart. I embrace You. Oh, never leave me. May the burning and most sweet power of Your love, O Lord Jesus Christ, I beseech You, absorb my mind that I may die through love of Your love, Who were graciously pleased to die through love of my love." - St. Francis
"We should consider those moments spent before the Blessed Sacrament as the happiest of our lives." - St. John Vianney – The Cure of Ars
"This Sacrament really contains You, O my God, You whom the Angels adore, in whose presence the Spirits and mighty Powers tremble. Oh! if we could only see You clearly as they do, with what reverence would we approach this Sacrament, with what humility would we receive You." - St. Angela of Foligno
"The devotion to the Eucharist is the most noble, because it has God as its object; it is the most profitable for salvation, because It gives us the Author of Grace; it is the sweetest, because the Lord is Sweetness Itself." - Pope St. Pius X
"My heart feels as if it were being drawn by a superior force each morning just before uniting with Him in the Blessed Sacrament. I have such a thirst and hunger before receiving Him that it's a wonder I don't die of anxiety. I was hardly able to reach the Divine Prisoner in order to celebrate Mass. When Mass ended I remained with Jesus to render Him thanks. My thirst and hunger do not diminish after I have received Him in the Blessed Sacrament, but rather, increase steadily. Oh, how sweet was the conversation I held with Paradise this morning. The Heart of Jesus and my own, if you will pardon my expression, fused. They were no longer two hearts beating but only one. My heart disappeared as if it were a drop in the ocean." - St. Padre Pio
"Do you realize that Jesus is there in the tabernacles expressly for you, for you alone? He burns with desire to come into your heart." - St.Therese of Lisieux

Whether it's tapping the man next to you in the bathroom stall or being client number 9, the new breed of politician has certainly fallen far from the concept of being a "dignitary". Deciding "he could not tell a lie" newly sworn in David Patterson revealed his infidelity towards his wife during what he referred to as a "rocky patch" in their marriage. Fearing blackmail, Patterson decided to come forward at a rocky point in New York politics. However I applaud Patterson's decision. Perhaps this new technique of sexual disclosure should be part of every candidates platform. When a person votes they should be able to see whether a person is a Republican, Pro-Life, Pro-Second Amendment, and if they have slept with over 35 men and women in past ten years. Hell, most Americans weren't pissed that Clinton was getting a BJ in the Oval Office, but were more cheesed that he lied about it. Sexual misconduct is as old as Thomas Jefferson, so get over yourself and embrace the new politics of sex, lies, and internet hookers.

Mae spent the next few days with a severe case of (just feels weird even typing the word, but oh well....) diarrhea. I dont even know how to spell it correctly, for some reason it is just a gross, almost forbidden word? Anyhow the same day that Mae picked up this flu from one of her friends, Noah comes down with a super high fever from Saturday until Wednesday.
So Mae has the flu and Noah has a fever and on Wednesday they decided to switch illnessess. When Noah is sick, he just wants to be held 24/7, but he doesnt cry or wine. When Mae is sick, all of our neighbors and basically everyone in the whole word knows it! Brook and I spent basically that entire week with little to no peaceful sleep and then at the end of the week, the kids both start feeling better, but Brook and I each get high fevers and severe sore throats! (so bad that my neck is swollen and I can barely move it!)
Here I sit at home on Wednesday after yet another sleepless night. Its cold, damp, and wet outside, Mae and Noah are going stir crazy being couped up inside for the last 2 weeks, and Brook and I literally dont know how much more we can take? Brook is finally going to the doctor this morning and hopefully will be prescribed some medicine that will put me completely out for the next 2 days!
The only thing getting us through these last couple weeks is that we are leaving on Friday for our first family vacation since Noah was born! We are headed to Gulf Shores, Alabama for a week of fishing, swimming, and just getting out of this horrible weather! Just hoping and praying that we can all be healed up and ready to travel by friday afternoon.
I had big plans for these 2 weeks leading up to vacation and was only able to get a small fraction of those projects done. Leaving for vacation right now at the beginning of our busy season is pretty much the dumbest business decision of the year, but this vacation means too much to my family to pass up.

Why is the media feeding the American people a false equivalency between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump? Is it that by covering only the horse race and keeping it close they have a lot to gain financially?
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are not two equivalent, equally qualified candidates for president of the United States. This is not a normal election in which Americans have a choice between two ideologies or two sets of policies, far from it. This is a choice between sanity and insanity.
Donald Trump is a reality television celebrity who knows nothing about running government. He has no realistic policy positions, only changing positions that are steeped in generalities and based on appealing to racism and prejudice.
Each step he has taken in his campaign has brought him closer to the values of the KKK and white supremacists, who celebrate his candidacy. Donald Trump lacks the knowledge, ability or temperament to be president of the United States.
In sharp contrast, Hillary Clinton has devoted her life to public service since her time in Arkansas, to First Lady, to senator, to secretary of state. Her intelligence and devotion to liberal causes (not to mention that she is a woman) has intimidated Republicans for 30 years. They have tried to accuse her and her husband of wrongdoing from Whitewater to Benghazi to those emails to the Clinton Foundation and found no criminality or misconduct.
Hillary Clinton's low honesty rating exists only because of all these false accusations. In reality, since Republicans have found nothing in all of their investigations, she should be celebrated as the "cleanest politician in Washington." Our media has a responsibility to stop feeding us a false equivalency. There is only one reasonable choice for our next president and that is Hillary Clinton.

Amazing Grace - The myths dispelled!
Love it or hate it, the tune Amazing Grace has become synonymous with the Great Highland Bagpipe. It is requested almost every time a piper appears in the general public and therefore many serious pipers are not great fans of the tune. It is often stated that it is "not a Scottish tune", or "it was originally a Gaelic air", or it is an "African American spiritual". Well, what is the truth and where did it come from?
The words are obviously a Christian hymn and were penned by John Newton (1725–1807) and were published in 1779. As a young man, Newton was pressed into the Royal Navy and after his service eventually worked as a sailor aboard a slave trading vessel. During a ferocious storm he called out to God in fear and this marked his Christian conversion. Some years later he left the slave trade and began studying theology, eventually being ordained in the Church of England in 1764. The hymn was written to illustrate a sermon on New Year's Day 1773. It imparts a message of forgiveness and redemption, no matter how great one's sins. Not all of the current words are attributed to Newton as there are later additions.
In 1835 William Walker joined Newton's hymn with the music we now recognise. The tune was known as "New Britain" and had been an amalgamation of two traditional folk tunes known as "Gallaher" and "St Mary". It is speculated that these tunes were Scottish Folk ballads passed orally by the predominantly Scottish immigrants of Kentucky and Tennessee or folk songs developed in Virginia or South Carolina, from where Walker originally came.
Issued to soldiers in two hymnals during the American Civil War the hymn became popular in a time dealing with so many tragic deaths. It also featured in an immensely popular anti-slavery novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin". The simple and moving words and attractive melody saw the hymn becoming a popular African American Spiritual.
In the 1960's it was a commonly used hymn by the African American Civil Rights movement and also by the opposition groups to the Vietnam War.
In 1972 The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards recorded "Amazing Grace" combining both their Pipes and Drums and Military Band. The arrangement opened with a solo bagpipe which was joined by the Pipe Band and full Military Band. The track quickly rose to number one in the charts in the UK, Ireland, Canada, South Africa and Australia and by 1977 had sold seven million copies. It also reached as high as 11 on the US charts.
The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards had only been formed in 1971 by the amalgamation of the 3rd Carabiniers and the Royal Scots Greys. Pipe major at the time of the recording was Sgt. A J Crease and the Bandmaster was WO1. C I Herbert. We have been unable to confirm the suggestion that Tony Crease was summoned to the Army School of Piping at Edinburgh Castle and chastised for "demeaning the bagpipe" following release of the recording. We doubt this as the Director of Army Bagpipe Music at the time Capt. John MacLellan later published the score in one of his many books of tunes for the Highland Bagpipe.
It is without any doubt that this recording created the strong link that the Bagpipe now shares with the tune "Amazing Grace". Many recordings (both good and bad) have been made since further cementing the relationship. A recent recording and new arrangement by soloist Brett Tidswell combined with backing by folk musician Marcus Holden can be found on the album "Scotland the Brave" and is only available here: School of Piping

I have long believed that the tune to Amazing Grace was an old Scottish Bagpipe Tune. The music has a definite Celtic Sound...so The College of Piping seems to have it right by relating the tune to Scottish Folksongs. I have a feeling that the same tune would be found in European Celtic regions on the continent as well..and at a much more ancient time.ReplyDelete

Player's interest was piqued when NBA Live 17 did not hit the market right about the same time as its predecessors did. As a result, gamers are still wondering when they can get their hands on the EA Sports' basketball game. Based on previous facts gathered, it seems like EA will release the title sometime in February or March.
Developer EA Sports had been releasing the NBA Live franchise in the last quarter of the year. But in 2016, that was not the case as 2K Sport's NBA 2K17 game was unopposed last year.
Back in 2014, executive producer Sean O'Brien announced that they have already started developing NBA Live 16. He also shared that the team is increasing its investment in the game as well as on the upcoming NBA Live 17. Now, the question is, where is Live 17?
As earlier revealed in EA's slides for their fiscal year in 2017, gamers should expect the release date of the title to come in the first quarter of 2017. Should that be the case, then that would be between January and March.
Also included in the list is Mass Effect Andromeda, which still had a vague "early 2017" release at the time. That has now changed as Mass Effect Andromeda has recently been announced to come out on March 21, 2017. All that's left is for EA to also announced the NBA Live 17 release date.
Rumor has it that the release might launch during the All-Star weekend, which will run from February 17 to 19. But, there is no way to confirm that as it did not come from the developers themselves. It's also possible we'll only hear the game's release date during this event.
Furthermore, another thing that will support an All-Star weekend release is the fact that EA Sports' basketball games have always given a better experience of the event than 2K Sports' basketball sim. The upcoming installment of NBA Live is again expected to bring a masterful experience of the star-studded weekend, so EA could actually release it on or before the All-Star weekend.
Meanwhile, players should also expect a better visual experience in the upcoming title. EA has been recently using their Frostbite Engine on almost all of their games recently. This game engine has powered the likes of Battlefield 1, Star Wars Battlefront, and FIFA 17. So, gamers should expect highly-detailed characters and courts in the next NBA Live game.
How about you? When do you think is the release of the NBA Live 17? Are you excited of its arrival? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

LIVE REVIEW: Massive party night at the Diamond with Gasoline Outlaws and Massive Wagons
LIVE REVIEW: Massive party night at the Diamond with Gasoline Outlaws and Massive Wagons
All systems were go on Saturday (April 22nd) at the Diamond Rock club for the return of Massive Wagons, with local heroes Gasoline Outlaws set to pour fuel on to the fire of rock in our hearts.
Indeed the Outlaws were making their own return to the live circuit, with new tracks and obvious serious rehearsal time to sound so tight.
Their first album gives them a wealth of different tones in the songs to explore: opening with the rabble rousing declaration of 'Nothing On Me' there is clearly a sense of a band ready to raise their personal bar higher; to attain the next level of success.
New songs 'Hard Times' and 'Breathe Again' fit flawlessly into their set, earning an equally warm reception alongside established fan favourites such as 'Shrouded Wolves', 'Heart and Soul' and, of
course their anthemic trademark 'Outlaws'
No Rules, No Laws, No Regrets from the Diamond audience.
Massive Wagons have been a whirlwind of energy on stage and off, capitalising on the success of their most recent released album 'Welcome To The World'.
While they have a deepening back catalogue, it is those tracks that stand-out the most. That's not to demean any of their solid other songs – rather a reflection of songs that since their release just over 12 months ago have become ingrained in the collective fan consciousness.
Baz is always gives the appearance of a demented ringmaster, energy spilling from the stage to infect the audience with the likes of the outrageously catchy 'Tokyo', the heft of 'Nails' and the wonderful 'Ratio'.
No the "craic" wasn't just good – it was mighty and great.
What sets Massive Wagons apart from many of their ilk is that there is no pretence, no attitude, whether it's mingling with attendees or delivering high octane rock and a healthy banter.
They also have many a trick up their sleeves and know that while those who coughed up the cash to see the band also are there for a good time.
Pulling 'Teenage Kicks' from the locker gives all of a certain age a blast – "Teenage dreams are hard to beat" even if those years are long past.
The closing duo of 'Fight The System' and 'Highway To Hell' showcase the marriage and connection of why we got into rock music – to revel in the so-called classics and to see bands at their peak.
An honourable mention must also go to 'Back To The Stack' – this single is out now: a tribute to the late Rick Parfitt of the Quo, with all proceeds going to the Teenage Cancer Trust. Not only a great thought, but a track that sits well in the set.
What Gasoline Outlaws and Massive Wagons do on stage is more than just provide entertainment: they give the audience a life affirming sense that despite personal woes, work, the global crises rock will never die.

This recipe caught my eye immediately, but I waited until now to prepare it for Christmas morning breakfast. My favorite part of the bread now is how you can't tell from the outside that the loaf is swirled with delicious chocolate. (I'm pretty sure my favorite part after I taste it will be the chocolaty richness of the bread.)
P.S. This bread is amazing and looks so intriguing on the inside!
Chocolate Babka
1 tsp. sugar
2 1/4 tsp. yeast
3/4 cup warm milk
6 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt
1 large egg yolk, lightly beaten
1 2/3 cups flour
1 1/4 cups bread flour
5 Tbsp. butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
3 Tbsp. cocoa
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
4 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. powdered sugar
1 Tbsp. flour
1 Tbsp. butter, softened
Dissolve 1 tsp. sugar and yeast in warm milk for five minutes. Combine remaining sugar, vanilla, salt, egg yolk and yeast mixture in mixing bowl. Add 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour and all of the bread flour, beating with the dough hook until well blended. Add butter, beating until well blended.
Knead dough until smooth and elastic, adding remaining flour gradually as needed to prevent dough from sticking. Cover dough, and let rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch down dough, and let rest 5 minutes. Line the bottom of a 9 x 5 pan with parchment paper, and spray the sides with non-stick spray. Combine filling ingredients together.
Place dough on generously floured surface. Roll dough into a 16-inch square. Sprinkle filling on dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border on all sides. Roll up jelly-roll style, pinching seam and ends to seal. Holding dough by ends, twist dough four times as if wringing out a towel. Fit dough into prepared pan, twisting dough to fit into pan. Cover, and let rise 45 minutes or until doubled.
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Prepare streusel by combining those ingredients together to form coarse crumbs. Sprinkle streusel evenly over dough. Bake for 40 minutes or until loaf is browned and sounds hollow. Cool in pan 10 minutes, and then cool completely on wire rack. Yield: 16 servings.

I was just sitting here chilin thinking about life when a friend of mine sent me this pic>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
random you think, I highly disagree. So I have a habit of representing summer all year round, its jus something I really cannot help so the latest craze in the summer collection was my 'Rihanna hair', the hair that my friend described as a fire truck hairdo...originally my hair style had no association with Rihanna's new look at the time but I guess it just all fell into place nicely and i had to remix it.

Unexpected reunion
Ok, after being alone for almost a year now, I think I'm ready to start a new relationship. The thing is I don't know where to start. So I was thinking, maybe a good muslim girl would be a great choice.
Last month I wrote about and old friend I met, well since then, I've been in touch with her a lot, and I thought to myself: "She's a nice girl, why not?". I did asked a few times... well kinda sneaked in actually, trying to find out if she had a boyfriend or not (you know me, I like them single and unattached). The thing is she never replied with a straight answer, its more on the "I'm single", so I decided to go ahead.
Wow, that was a long intro. Anyway, I called her up and asked if she would like to break the fast with me this evening. She said she'd love to, and asked to meet at this Padang restaurant in Menteng. I agreed.
When I got there, I was surprised. There was a reunion going on, its friends from her Junior highschool. Good thing I know all of the people there, but it was just unexpected. Oh well, might as well enjoy it.

"Lehman CEO Reportedly Punched In Face At Gym
Attack Allegedly Happened Shortly After Bankruptcy News Broke
POSTED: 10:41 am EDT October 7, 2008
UPDATED: 11:50 am EDT October 7, 2008
Lehman Bros. CEO Richard S. Fuld Jr. was reportedly attacked at the company gym shortly after it was announced that the 158-year-old company was going bankrupt last month, according to CNBC and The Telegraph of London.
The Telegraph, sourcing CNBC, said "two very senior sources - one incredibly senior source" had confirmed the rumors of the attack.
According to reports, Fuld was running on the treadmill when a man who was pumping iron in the corner of the gym came over and knocked him out cold.
Further details about the alleged attack were not immediately available.
Fuld sat for a two-hour-plus grilling before the U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Monday as the panel combed through his pay history, management practices and financial strategies.
"You made all this money by taking risks with other people's money," Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., the panel's chairman, said. "The system worked for you, but it didn't seem to work for the rest of the country and the taxpayers, who now have to pay $700 billion to bail out our economy."
A subdued Fuld opened his testimony declaring, "I take full responsibility for the decisions that I made and for the actions that I took," but he conceded no errors or misjudgments in the chaotic period that led to the firm's bankruptcy.
And he said a compensation system that he estimated paid him about $350 million between 2000 and 2007 even as the company headed for disaster was appropriate.
"We had a compensation committee that spent a tremendous amount of time making sure that the interests of the executives and the employees were aligned with shareholders," Fuld said.

Check coughing calves for husk
24 July 1998
Check coughing calves for husk
COUGHING calves should be checked for husk following the appearance of cases earlier than usual this year, warns independent vet consultant Tony Andrews.
He attributes the unseasonable husk cases to wet weather, and adds that husk is usually seen in calves before older cattle because they become infected with fewer lungworms.
Check that vaccination and worming policies are adequate to control lungworm, he advises, and ask your vet for a diagnosis on any calves that are coughing, even though it may be due to other causes.

Replacing Obamacare: Now you see it… now you don't As the Senate deliberates replacing Obmacare, health coverage for millions of people is at stake. There've been no public hearings, and a draft measure won't be made public. Is the House version so unpopular that that Senate is hiding a version that looks much the same?
The longest US war: Will Trump send more troops to Afghanistan? The Trump White House is divided over the Pentagon's request for more troops in Afghanistan—where the US has been fighting for the past 16 years. Is there a formula -- either for "victory" or a political settlement? Is there an end in sight for America's longest war?
Who's to blame for the opioid crisis? Some of the lawyers who took on Big Tobacco are now going after Big Pharma. It's all about the deadly epidemic of opioid use. Are the drug companies to blame? What about the users? Later, on today's Talking Point: making sense of Britain's upset election.

By Tuesday evening, Hurricane Irma had become the most powerful Atlantic Ocean hurricane on record, a Category 5 storm with maximum sustained winds of 185 MPH. My main concern right now is for the souls of the Caribbean islands and South Florida. I hope we can somehow get through this with little or no loss of life, but history suggests that may be unrealistic.
When it comes to inanimate objects, my chief worry, bar none, is for the Hemingway House on Key West. The museum is a literary landmark and one of my favorite museums in all of America. Unfortunately, it's right in Irma's path. The storm is projected to be a Category 4 when it passes over the Keys. Depending on whether it passes below Key West (worse) or above Key West (better), the storm's winds and storm surge could annihilate the house.
Here are just a few photos of the house Hemingway called home in the 1930s. Let's all hope this national treasure survives the weekend.
The Hemingway House, exterior
The Hemingway's salt-water pool was the first pool on the island. It was built at the request of Hem's wife and Hem often complained of how expensive it was to maintain.
Hemingway's study.
One of Hem's writing desks. It was during his Key West years that Hemingway wrote his novel To Have and Have Not and his stories "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber."
Descendants of Hem's original six-toed cats still live on the house's grounds and are cared for by the museum staff.

Hmm. Choices, choices. I have a myriad of choices when it comes to striking it on my own in the world. I can possibly move out to Florida and live with my cousin Geno, who's going to attend a school there. That'd be cool. I could move back to San Diego and somehow survive in my old hometown. I'm not sure what the living costs are down there, but I'll find out should I roadtrip there this summer.
Or, the dreaded choice of living in Sacramento is a large possibility. Several friends of mine are planning to get apartments/houses in Saramento, so there's my opportunity.
Of course, the biggest factor of actually moving out would have to be a stable, well-paying job to support rent, bills, and car payments. I've got a weekend job pretty much locked, unless I were to somehow screw up like I usually do, and lose it in some pathetic way. Job hunting sucks, too.
Also, the matter of my own car plays a large role in actually getting a job, and keeping one. My best bet is to buy a car around 2 grand or less. I've also got to drastically cut back on excess spenditures like snowboarding equipment and miscellaneous items.
Did I forget to mention that I've got to pay to repair for the three car's I've damaged? Yep.

I had a vaginal probe ultrasound and doctors found fibroids in my uterus. Are fibroids fatal?
No. Fibroids are common and benign growths in the uterus. They can cause troubling symptoms such as bleeding, pressure on the bladder, or a big growth in the pelvis, but they can be treated effectively by medicine, uterine artery embolization, or surgery. Fibroids are not fatal. It is extremely rare that what looks like a fibroid is actually a cancer called a leiomyosarcoma.
No ! Fibroids are common benign, non-cancerous tumors. 1 of every 3 women of child bearing age have these tumors (and even more common in african-american women), many without any symptoms. If you have no symptoms no treatment is necessary. One exception to this is in women who have fibroids which are interfering with fertility.
No. They are benign tumors in the smooth muscle of the uterus. They can cause heavy and/or painful periods.

An email from the Braves marketing team wants you to send Chop Talk to those close to you for "MOTHER'S DAY! FATHER'S DAY! BIRTHDAY! GRADUATION!" While I love my Chop Talk, I wouldn't give it as a Mother's Day gift. Instead, I'm heading out to my parents' town for the weekend. Enjoy the rest of the Phils series, everyone!
PS -- When you read CT, do you look more like Chipper or Lowe? (Seriously, what's wrong with Chipper's face in that picture?)

Well, for one thing, he's smiling and Baby's nowhere to be found...that's kinda unusual.
And I love CT too, but seriously, they need to work on their advertisements. That one with Bobby, Huddy, and Frenchy is the worst. It looks like an ad for "Story-Time with Bobby" or something.

I'd probably smile goofily at my CT right now too, since it's in Florida & I'm up here with no mail. I trust y'all will alert me to any really good stuff contained therein.
