Considering they are your parents then yes a gift would be nice from you.
Start simple - bouquet of their favourite flowers, or one each. Favourite chocolates to go with. Was there anything they got for Christmas that needs accessories or things that can go with gifts or items they already own.
Collection of photographs, dig out some old ones if you know where they are and make a scrapbook or album - find a photo for every year or five years they have been together.
Pay for a photo shoot or British weekend away for them both (budget dependent obviously).
They are your parents so you know they best, would something traditional be best for them or something fun and different?

I didn't buy presents for my parents anniversary when they were together.
But anyways:
~ A photoframe with a picture of the family in
~ A bottle of their favourite wine, and a fancy corkscrew
~ A dvd boxset of their favourite sitcom, tv series, etc
~ Pay for a meal out for them (either with or without you and your brother)
~ Something practical for around the house (such as a new vase, table mats or a new coffee table) - I did this for xmas when my dad moved in with his girlfriend, they were pleased as they just got a new house, and I did have a massive amount to spend
~ Gym membership (obv depending on budget and if they like the gym)
~ Champagne glasses, along with a bottle of champagne
~ Have a look in card shops, they sometimes have little anniversary gifts

I missed out two more milestones in my earlier post. Kellia has learnt to scream.. For attention. That's such a perfect skill she has. She will scream when wanted to be carried especially when left in her Exersaucer or similar toy.
She's getting better in holding things like her pacifier, small objects, her milk bottle especially.
She's really growing up… Fast & well. Thank u Jesus:)
Gotta go! Tired after work…

"It is becoming increasingly clear that all students benefit when they are able to take deliberate control over their lives and learning…Thus, as we are considering bigger picture goals for students, it will also help to identify the kinds of knowledge, beliefs, skills, and strategies that underlie an individual's capacity to be self determining (Butler, Schnellert & Perry, 2017, p. 44)."
While self-determination and self- regulation share common attributes (see Figure 1) it is important to remember that they are also two goals that exist separately from each other. In chapter 4 of DEVELOPING SELF REGULATING LEARNERS, Butler, Schnellert and Perry observe that fostering the capacity for self-determination is essential to developing self-regulation.
Self-determination, or the belief that you have control over your own life and learning, can be cultivated through experiences that allow learners to explore their strengths and limitations. Part of self-determination, then, is the understanding that your capacity for success in any situation exists on a continuum of ability and that ability can be refined over time.
Within a school context, autonomy is the unvoiced goal for all learners and in recent years formal education has purposefully moved away from a "sage on the stage" approach to teaching. This movement has not come without trepidation on the part of teachers, however. First, is the question that many educators have regarding their emerging roles. If they are not managing student learning by delivering lessons then what are educators doing? Secondly, since self-determination is a "combination of skills, knowledge and beliefs (p. 44)" that develops over time and changes with respect to context there is the reality that teachers, themselves, are still developing their own understanding of autonomy. Butler et al, in their discussion of SRL, state that it is helpful for people to "see what life-long, adaptive learning looks like (p. 44)."
At Nisga'a Elementary Secondary School, self-determination could be considered a political and an educational priority. We are not just a community of learners we are the Nisga'a Nation – a self-governing, First Nations' society. As a new school administrator, and developing self-determinist, my challenge is to create an environment within which all members are able to explore their roles as learners and coaches while also moving from a "me" to a "we" philosophy of being. In other words, to create opportunities for administrators, staff and students to take control over their own lives and learning while at the same time fostering the collaborative skills and attitudes needed in order to function fully as members of an indigenous, Canadian and global community.
So what does this look like?
In hierarchical organizations it is not uncommon to hear the managerial expression, "Don't let the tail wag the dog". In 21st century communities, however, spirals of leadership connect the dog and the tail. All members are learners journeying more deeply into their understanding of self-determination and share their stories of risks, challenges and successes in order to co-create meaning with others.
On a practical level, school staff will model the behaviours of self-determination while coaching students in the skills necessary to become more deeply aware of their own autonomy. For this to occur, several key things happen:
- in-service on HARD goals, mindset, inquiry and collaborative learning.
- discussions (in a safe environment) about power, shared power and empowerment.
- opportunities to share leadership and/or coach other staff.
- conversations amongst support staff, Education Assistants, teachers and administrators about their learning.
- a willingness to let go of the "teacher" identifier in favor of the "coach".
- reflections of what is happening at the "staff level" in classroom conversations and actions.
- emotional support.
Shifting consciousness is challenging; it takes energy and, sometimes, faith that one is on the right track. Although, if asked, most people would agree that it is important to them to have control of their own lives, it is equally true that the majority of us struggle to make clear exactly how to do this. My own decision to become an administrator is the involved result of responding to several factors over the past twelve years: moving to BC from Ontario; moving to the Nass Valley from Summerland; participating in teacher actions in both Ontario and BC; immersing myself in a First Nations' environment; and owning my own wellness.
Sharing our "stories" of who we are, what we are thinking, and what we are doing is the best way to create a strong school culture that values individual differences and education. In the past few years, my learning has encompassed wellness because I realized that because of anxiety, I had cut myself off from my coll
eagues, withdrew from my friends, and scraped by as a teacher. It wasn't until I sought counselling for depression that I realized how limited I had allowed my world to become. While I don't think everyone is depressed and anxious, I do think that we all struggle with direction and confidence, which can affect our ability to learn.
As the leader of my own life, and the co-leader of my school, I believe it is important to risk vulnerability for the hope of creating a bet
ter future. Thus, my first step will be to model the component skills of self-determination by sharing my risks, challenges and successes as a learning administrator with my co-learners at Nisga'a Elemen
tary Secondary School.

All of this cold weather has me thinking of summer and, nothing is more fun than catching bass on a popper. The felling when a smallmouth launches out of the water and smashes a popper is one that you don't forget. It will make you want to fish poppers for the rest of the summer.
During the Iron Fly event in Springfield I was given a sample pack of Zudbubbler popper bodies to try out. They are an easy to use foam body that slides over the hook. I tied these on a Gamakatsu B10S hook. Start by tying in saddle hackle or marabou as a tail. Add in some legs. Then palmer a hackle feather to cover your tie in area. Super Glue over a thread base will hold the body in place. Then the most difficult part of using them is getting the legs through (without the tool they sell). I used a bodkin to make a hole and pulled the legs through with a piece of wire. Add a couple of eyes if you see fit and get out a Sharpie for some highlights.
While I haven't had a chance to fish these yet I'm sure they will produce some nice bass this coming summer. Keep an eye out when the ice goes away and the temps start to rise.

About me
- I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia and first experienced New England when I attended Boston University
- (Yes, I'm a Falcons fan, and no, I'm not ready to talk about it...)
- There I met my wife, Beth (who attended Simmons College), and convinced her to move down south. That lasted for about five years before we decided (with our dog, Herschel) we were ready to move back and put down some roots.
- We lived in Brookline for about three years, and then started house hunting across the South Shore. We knew that Plymouth was where we wanted to land.
- We love Plymouth because it has some of everything - beaches, forests, parks, good schools, culture & cuisine, walkable neighborhoods, a thriving downtown, accessibility to Boston, Providence, the Cape, and much more. We look forward to raising a family and living here for years to come!
Professional experience
- For the past four years I've worked for an advertising agency that partners with brands to amplify their messaging globally.
- On a daily basis I am responsible for coordinating with colleagues across the world to manage a range of projects from traditional advertising, to social media, to e-commerce, and more.
- This job has shown me there are more things that connect us in the world than separate us, but it's extremely important to understand and appreciate different points of view. It's also taught me that I love traveling and seeing the world, but I'm always happiest at home with friends and family!
- Prior to this, I worked at a national sports broadcasting company, managing the creation of promotional and sponsored content in partnership with the NBA, MLB, PGA, NASCAR and NCAA. I worked on some truly special and fun projects, including several that were recognized across the industry.
This experience as a project manager has taught me how to approach a challenge with an open mind, learn about all aspects, make an informed decision, build consensus, oversee the project from start to finish, and analyze the results.
I believe these skills will help me serve as a town meeting member finding solutions that are in the best interest of the town and its residents.

More evidence that members of this federal administration think that they're unaccountable to its citizens appeared today in an article titled IRS Failed to Search Five of Six Locations for Lois Lerner Emails. I wrote about this mess last year (Lois Lerner's White House emails missing). My conclusion was that either the IRS's I.T. staff was incompetent or one or more persons at the IRS were lying.
Maybe both possibilities are true. Maybe this cover-up includes the White House, and maybe the conspirators are taking advantage of the I.T. staff's incompetence. After a year of stalling, this seems not just possible, but probable.
1 August update:
The House of Representatives' Government Oversight Committee calls for the removal of IRS Commissioner Koskinen. The committee will hold Mr. Koskinen in contempt of Congress and impeach him if Mr. Obama doesn't remove Mr. Koskinen from office. This video includes an incriminating timeline of one cover-up after another:
Last week, Treasury Department's Inspector General office discovered 722 backup tapes that contain Lois Lerner emails. According to Judicial Watch's press release,
This material shows that the IRS' cover-up began years ago. We now have smoking-gun proof that top officials in the Obama IRS unlawfully harassed taxpayers just to keep them from complaining to Congress about IRS' targeting and abuse.
It's obvious that Mr. Koskinen's IRS has been a weapon used by the corrupt Obama administration to punish its critics and that Lois Lerner was (albeit eagerly) "only following orders".

With Thanksgiving behind us many of us are now gearing up for Christmas. My tree is up, though I need to finish decorating it...outside lights up.
While we did have Bailey last year during Christmas he was just a puppy....I opted to not put up a tree. So, this will be his first time around a tree. He has sniffed it but that is all.
I have many ornaments and other interesting things that hang on the tree...I will have to pay close attention to both him and Rocky for ornaments swallowed can indeed be dangerous for our furry friends....and tinsel is a big no no. Using coated wire you can easily secure your ornaments to the tree to ensure your furry friends safety. please know if your not paying attention, well I have heard many a tale of pets knocking the tree down....secure that as well ;-)
What's On Dee's Plate
OK....I admit it, I am not really crazy about Turkey, still each and every year I purchase a fresh bird, a rather large bird at that. This year I hosted my family. Six adults...after dinner, before desert the leftovers are put away, the meat is removed from the carcass everything gets placed in the refrigerator. You NEVER throw away the carcass. From that the most hearty soup can be made.
Come Friday morning a rather large pot is placed on the stove....the turkey carcass is added....lots of broth...onions, celery carrots & some garlic. It simmers the reminder of the day....lunch...turkey sandwich, dinner, leftovers from Thanksgiving....that is the end of the turkey for the reminder, and there is still a good bit left is added to the soup....along with the leftover gravy.
Once the soup is done all bones removed, remainder of turkey meat added, gravy added and frozen veggies.
This is why I make a Turkey each and every year....nothing like a great big bowl of turkey soup.

Gunman robs George's Liquor Store in Pittsfield
The suspect walked into George's Liquor Store on Elm Street about 8:48 p.m., according to a statement released Saturday by Police Chief Michael Wynn.
The man produced a handgun and demanded the the two clerks give him money, the statement said, citing witness reports and a preliminary review of store surveillance video. He fled with an undetermined amount of cash.
Patrol officers, including a K-9 unit, tracked the suspect to the rear of a nearby business, where the trail ended.
The suspect is described as a black male, over 6 feet tall and approximately 200 pounds. He was dressed in all black clothing, including a baseball cap, wearing eyeglasses and appeared to have some facial hair. Store clerks did not recognize the suspect.
Anyone that may have been in the area of Elm Street and East Street near the time of the robbery is asked to contact the Pittsfield Police Detective Bureau at 413-448-9705. Tips can be left anonymously by telephone, by texting Tip411 and a message to PITTIP, or through the department's Facebook page.

I've got ideas for four different poems jostling for primacy within my head. One, Turn-tables, which I mentioned a couple weeks ago, hasn't developed much further since its initial growth spurt. Part of that is the unfortunate result of holiday and other life distractions.
Two others are still just twinkles in my mind's eye, with no real sense of identity beyond their draft titles. I'm not sure that they'll even make it out alive, but they're trying very hard to push their way through.
And then there's this last one, Purgatory, the idea of which came to me very suddenly this evening. It will probably outpace the others to make it to the light of day first, but I want to let it percolate a little longer. I will leave you with this tease of a first stanza though ...

In a Co-operative News article, Anca Voinea reports indications that Syriza's win in January could boost the co-operative sector, noting that rebuilding the country's economy was one of its major election pledges. In its manifesto, Syriza highlighted the importance of reviving the co-op movement and suggested looking at the most suitable sectors for co-operative development. The party sees the co-op movement as a distinct economic model that would be part of the broader social and solidarity economy.
According to Lukas Mprechas, co-founder of the Network for Social Solidarity and Regional Development, Syriza has shown interest in the movement over the last two years:
"Syriza has created committees to prepare a new co-op legislation. There has been emphasis on legislation for the transfer of the companies that have been closed to the workers, for the establishment of co-operatives of similar standards to Latin America and France.
"In recent years, the leaders of Syriza were prepared to listen to organisations such as ours, which are trying to promote co-ops to all Greek political parties, about the benefits of co-operatives in terms of decent living for people. They were already prepared to listen to calls for co-operative legislation which would adequately support the co-operative principles and the promotion of co-operative education."
Incoming prime minister Alexis Tsipras (above) presented his agenda to parliament and made a commitment to growing the social economy, including co-ops. Syriza has now launched a public consultation to gather opinions about the promotion of the social economy.
When VioMe in Thessaloniki went bankrupt, the workers, who had not been paid for over a year, occupied the building to prevent the owner from taking away the machinery and products in stock. The factory is now in public administration and the workers are fighting a legal battle for ownership of the enterprise. They are also calling for a change in the legal framework to allow workers to take over enterprises. Mr Tsipras promised to support this effort with legal reforms. He has also spoken about the importance of co-operative banks as a vehicle for development.
Reading about this venture reminded the writer about an Argentinian workers' initiative recorded here.
An online platform, Solidarity4all, showcases different examples of informal co-operation, from social pharmacies to grocery stores or free lessons, including newly formed co-ops. Syriza has helped the Solidarity4All initiative, with each MP donating 10-20% of their wage to promote the social economy. People have taken matters into their own hands through grassroots activism and local collective action. The many and varied social solidarity initiatives include social pharmacies, social medical clinics, social kitchens, social groceries, Okmarkets without middlemen, a social collective of mental health professionals, social solidarity drop in centres, time banks (sharing skills and time), olive oil producers sharing olive oil, the 'potato movement' where farmers trade direct with consumers cutting out the supermarkets.

The Asian Student Union is bringing you a free screening of the Official Selection of the 2009 Sundance Film Festival: "Children of Invention."
Please join us and meet the writer-director Tze Chun, as well as the producer Mynette Louie. They will be available for questions after the screening. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. so be sure to get there early and grab a seat.
One of Filmmaker Magazine's "25 New Faces of Independent Film," writer-director Tze Chun makes his feature film debut with one of the most-awarded and best-reviewed films of the year. CHILDREN OF INVENTION is by turns humorous and heartbreaking, an "edge-of-your-seat family drama" (Spout) that's both "powerfully moving and rigorously intelligent."(Boston Phoenix).
After being evicted, hardworking single mom Elaine Cheng (Cindy Cheung, Lady in the Water) tries to maintain a normal life for her children, Raymond and Tina. Elaine juggles a number of jobs, including working for a questionable pyramid scheme. When Elaine doesn't return home one night, nobody knows the kids are home alone, and they are left to fend for themselves. As the days pass, Raymond, a budding inventor, realizes he needs to come up with a plan to take care of his little sister.
Referencing both the mortgage meltdown and suburban Ponzi schemes, "the film finds delicate moments of beauty and grace as its child heroes are forced to make their way" (Filmmaker Magazine). Featuring "gifted child actors--off-the-charts cute, refreshingly free of Hollywood precociousness" (LA Weekly), CHILDREN OF INVENTION is "as close to cinematic purity as one is likely to see this year" (Film Society of Lincoln Center), a timely drama about the influence of the adult world on children and resilience in hard times.

February Reading List
February is a great month for reading because it is a horrible month for everything else. The following novels are by no means the summation of reading I've done over the last month. I've been in class, and have had to find time for personal reading between textbooks, research, and class readings. While some of my class readings have been amazing, especially the Romantic poets and some of the ancient literature I've been revisiting, I've decided to limit the current list only to my unassigned reading.
Nausea – Jean-Paul Sartre
As much as it's a philosophical parable, Nausea is also most simply a very intimate book about falling out of love with life–which puts it on the shortlist of worst possible things for me to read in February. It purports to be the recovered journal of Antoine Roquentin, a jaded intellectual trying to write a historical book in the coastal French city of Bouville. He begins experiencing a strange sensation that affects him both physically and mentally, a nausea caused by the weight and actuality of things without their imbued meaning. There are some stunningly beautiful passages, like one describing a piece of music in a bar and another depicting a street in the city as if it were a painting. The narrative is uncommonly intimate, and despite its introverted nature, builds to a fairly substantial climax. But it's a difficult book, both emotionally and intellectually.
"When you want to understand something, you stand in front of it, alone, without help: all the past in the world is of no use. Then it disappears and what you wanted to understand disappears with it."
The Picture of Dorian Gray – Oscar Wilde
There isn't a moment in Dorian Gray that doesn't sparkle with some kind of genius. Every symbol, every dramatic twist, every discussion of ideas brings with it a a unique and wholly compelling type of insight. But for all the broad and obvious brilliance, its power comes primarily from what is not so pronounced–like the painting in the attic, the fact that the godly painter is a homosexual, that the most pitiful character is the one everyone wants to be around. With concrete ideas Wilde paints a truly nebulous universe, and that is by far his greatest accomplishment.
"The harmony of soul and body–how much that is! We in our madness have separated the two, and have invented a realism that is vulgar, an ideality that is void."
Farewell, My Lovely – Raymond Chandler
I'm a puritanical reader. I doubt pleasure. It's a terrible habit I'm trying to break, but every now and again I need to retreat to an author who makes doubt simply impossible. For me Raymond Chandler is just such an author. His books read about as effortlessly as sleeping, yet I would never call them simple or insubstantial. At worst they read like The Hardy Boys as written by William Faulkner. At best they're the absolute pinnacle of their craft, mysteries that plumb the substance of human nature, that begin seducing and pulling you further in from the first sentence and never relinquish their hold. Of the three Chandlers I've read, Lovely stands squarely in the middle. It never reaches the dark genius of The Long Goodbye, but its moments of surprising vulnerability give it more substance than The Big Sleep.
"You can crab over the morning paper and kick the shins of the guy in the next seat at the movies and feel mean and discouraged and sneer at the politicians but there are a lot of nice people in the world just the same."
At the Mountains of Madness – H.P. Lovecraft
At the Mountains of Madness is the kind of story that would have seemed like scripture to my adolescent self. With every page I felt pangs of the sheer wonder and excitement I would have felt at the size of the antarctic city, the history of the Others, the rules of Lovecraft's sprawling mythology. It would have fundamentally changed the way I played with legos. I can offer no higher praise than that.
"Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!"
Dubliners – James Joyce
After being stunned by A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, I was eager to read something else by Joyce as quickly as possible. This collection of short stories didn't disappoint me. In a way it's as distinct from Portrait as a book can be, documenting the experience of dozens of characters from all over Dublin from all ages and walks of life. However, it also struck me as no less personal. While Portrait tells the story of one young man falling out of love with his Irish heritage, Dubliners (its immediate predecessor) tells multiple stories about people resisting that change. A young girl refuses to leave her abusive father to be with the man she loves. A disenchanted worker wallows in drunken self-loathing. A mother won't let her daughter go on stage without receiving a guarantee of payment in advance. Each short drama absolutely glistens with insight and tension, showcasing Joyce as a master of the beauty and sadness of everyday life.
"One by one they were all becoming shades. Better pass boldly into that other world in the full glory of some passion, than fade and whither dismally with age."
As I Lay Dying – William Faulkner
It took me far too long to read Faulkner. Something about his reputation, probably his genre, always kept me at arm's length. But this is one of the most brilliant novels I've ever read. It's narrated entirely in first person, often through stream of consciousness, with numerous characters explaining the events from their own point of view. It is a lyrical, profound, and at times chilling look at the cyclical destructive power of poverty. Of course, that doesn't stop its characters, especially the masterfully crafted Darl, from considering the very nature of life itself along their journey as well.
"That's the one trouble with this country: everything, weather, all, hangs on too long. Like our rivers, our land: opaque, slow, violent, shaping and creating the life of man in its implacable and brooding image."
The Sun Also Rises – Ernest Hemingway
Hemingway and I have a complicated relationship. His books make life so beautiful, so immediate, that I never last more than a chapter before I want to toss the book aside and go out and live it. Of course, the most recent two I've read (I talked about A Farewell to Arms in my last blog) spiral down toward disillusionment eventually. But that heat signature he leaves on the everyday still remains. The Sun Also Rises is worse because it never breaks into a more traditional narrative the way Arms does. It's simply life being lived and people attempting to make the most of it, for better or worse.
"I did not care what it was all about. All I wanted to know was how to live in it. Maybe if you found out how to live in it you learned from that what it was all about."

Red Riding Hood, Grandma and the Wolf
Official Fairy Tale of Budweiser Beer
With some significant help from Grandma our costumes were finished without too much stress. I think Jim made a lovely mature lady, even if his beard did point out a need for hormone therapy. It took a while for Graham to agree to leaving his costume on. The promise of candy, and peer pressure helped.
We had a great time at the Harter's Halloween Bash -- the devil eggs and hot dog mummies were a hit, the jello brain made it's annual appearance and watching the kids play the donut game was alot of fun:
Bride Nicole and Joker Kouadio put up a fierce fight, but in the end Emily was declared the winner after she finished eating her last bit of donut off the floor. Here she shows off her prize- more donuts! (posing here with BFF Aliyah)
The Best Costume Award definitely went to the Hostess for her "Bad" MJ. Just lovely.
We trick or treated at 3 houses... I have a feeling that won't be enough next year! And despite the drizzle, we had a great time watching the parade make its way down Main Street.
As usual the marching band was a big hit, but the highlight was when Graham greeted his old pal, Big Bird from the sidelines:

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is launching its first broadcast sponsorship of a new Channel 4 'Adventure on 4' programming strand. The Channel 4 sponsorship starting on 9th April 2009 is a six figure sponsorship lasting 12 months.
The sponsorship includes sponsorship bumpers – usually 15" openers, 5" bumpers and 10" closing sequence(s) around the Adventure programming including 'Around the word in 80 trades', 'Deadliest Catch', 'Daredevils', and 'Into The Wild'.
The sponsorship includes Channel 4's online video-on-demand service with pre-roll and mid-roll sponsorship bumpers played during every stream.
TV advertising, in particular sponsorships, allow advertisers to directly relate their products to a relevant environment and target market. This association with the programming allows for further social or lifestyle targeting albeit aspirational or just simply correct demographic targeting. This affiliation allows the creative to target in on the consumer and create a commercial or 'idents' that play on the fantasy imposed by the programming.
Sponsorship allows for the targeting of correct demographics in the right frame of mind, at high frequency. This frequency within a single programme allows for campaign 'opportunities to see' to be higher and in the case of multi-channel homes allows for niche targeting with high impact. As a rule of thumb; Multi-channel sponsorship allows for cost effective, high frequency and well targeted campaigns. Terrestrial channels allow for mass marketed high frequency campaigns.
Do you think that sponsorship can be effective as part of the media mix?

Couldn't agree more, Mr Lickspittle - "Oh I must get Gorgon' permission" get over yersel Tom ya big dreep!
Alec has nothing to apologise for, at least Scotland is moving not what I can say where I'm made to lie. 5 houses now in the stret lost to freezing conditions and burst pipes while the Defence Housing Executive sits on its arse and does nothing.
FOLK it's your tax payers money that is supposed to spent maintaining these houses which sit on land worth a cool £1M a pop.
Sorry Sr I digress but I'm bloody angry at this waste of taxpayers hard earned dosh being frittered away.

..and are those M O D houses still M O D, Crazy Daisy?
... or more pertinent; Have the maintenance of those M O D properties been farmed out to the privateers?
Just asking because I noticed an article concerning road gritting or the lack of it in todays sabatical Hootsmon rag entitled, "Police warning over road gritting by private firms."
...and I quote a Mr Les Gray, Chairman of the Scottish Police Federation; "Scotland's major roads have become more dangerous for motorists since contracts for gritting services were privatised, according to the leader of the country's rank-and-file officers."
Worth a read that.
Howler of the year must be the platitude uttered by oor wee parochial New Labour branch office transport spokesman, Mr gobshite Charlie Gordon himself and I quote,"this winter's weather has exposed weaknesses in Scotland's ability to cope with extreme weather and described Gray's calls for renationalising maintenance an importantcontribution to a debate that is only getting started."
So who privatised the service then, Mr proper Charlie? Do tell.
...and coming a close second in the howler of the year competition is comrade Dave Watson of Unison and his platitude of, "We have consistently campaigned against outsourcing trunk road maintenance both because private contractors work for profit, not for public service, and because the accountability of that public service becomes unclear."
That shurely is an understatement, comrade Watson.
But do tell, who supported the New Labour privateers with their comradely contributions and we're all in this together comrade's retoric?
Bluidy hypocrites.

How things have changed CD. I've forgotten the name of the old housing maintenance lot but why on earth has it been privatised. Possibly for a fast buck.
Also I heard a few years ago a Japanese or Chinese company was the selling agent for some properties. An old friend of mine was interested in buying an ex-MOD property and found he couldn't get any contact with these folks. His verdict was that they had the sale of the estate all tied up and didn't want the 'public' involved.

- CrazyDaisy said...
MoDERN Housing Solutions do the maintenance, in the Londistan area they are at best incompetent - the management that is not the tradesmen! What disgusts me is the waste of taxpayers money, but I see I have hijacked your thread, my apologies.
Yes, someone is making money over the eventual sale of this area but with rent around here running around £2000 per month I'd rather save the taxpayer the money and live in MoD housing provided it's habitable and mine and many like me live in borderline accom.

The Walking Dead's 8th midseason finale will be talked about by fans for years to come and, though we've dealt with major character deaths in the past, this one is unique and especially devastating. If you haven't seen the midseason finale yet, this is your last chance to avoid the shocking spoiler.
Though it seemed like the coalition of communities led by Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) had Negan (Jeffery Dean Morgan) and his Saviors on the ropes, the tides turned (thanks to Eugene, played by Josh McDermitt, though specifics remain murky) and Alexandria has fallen. Making the loss all the more devastating is a last-minute reveal that Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs) has been bitten by a walker.
Related Article: (SPOILERS) Here's Why Many Think NEGAN WILL DIE in THIS SEASON of "TWD"
Though we don't see Carl die, showrunner Scott Gimple confirmed on Talking Dead that this is a "one-way ticket" for Carl, saying, "This will play out as past bites have played out". This is a rare occasion, however, where we know in advance that death is inevitable. Will having a chance to say our goodbyes to Carl make his loss easier to endure or prolong the agony?
How did you feel at the conclusion of last night's midseason finale of The Walking Dead? Sound off in the Comments section.
The Walking Dead Season 8 will continue on AMC in February. For a complete breakdown of last night's episode, check out the video below from MOVIEidol.

My feeling at the end of the mid season finale have yet to settle its like I'm in a time warp and keep going over the same scene all the time…its horrendous it's gut wrenching and so sad…but could this be the downfall of negan could this be his wake up call because he sure did like Carl and well if there's no alpha son to take things forward then perhaps the end is near..

For years, one of the go-to men in Hollywood for that special moment of awkward, frank silence needed for the absurdity of a situation to really sink in has been Craig Robinson, one of the stars of Hot Tub Time Machine opening today.
What does a quality deadpan look like, you ask? It looks like Craig Robinson breaking the fourth wall after he drops the titular line of the movie in its own trailer.
Robinson, a Chicago native, cut his teeth at Second City before touring with Def Comedy Jam.
I first saw him in TV's "Arrested Development" as a security guard up for the same role as Tobias (the role was for a confidence man - knowing he was up against the security guard gave Tobias some needed confidence).
Robinson's major break came when the American adaptation of "The Office" was picked up for a second season. Robinson's Darryl, the no-nonsense warehouse manager that had a decent share of screen time in the first season, had even more time to try to ignore and deflate the absurd pursuits of Steve Carell's Michael Scott.
What makes Robinson so much fun to watch in "The Office" is the way he telegraphs his seeing the whole picture, how small the players are, and how ultimately insignificant the problem at hand really is. He's the quintessential straight talker, which makes for great comedy when Carell is co-opting the warehouse for a men's afternoon or in desperate need of relationship advice.
Can't put a finger on what I'm describing? Think about Robinson's cameo in Knocked Up as the self-actualized bouncer:
"I know... you're right. I'm so sorry, I fuckin' hate this job. I don't want to be the one to pass judgement, decide who gets in. Shit makes me sick to my stomach. I get runs from the stress. It's not 'cause you're not hot, I would love to tap that ass. I would tear that ass up. I can't let you in 'cause you're old as fuck. For this club, you know, not for the earth. ...You old, she pregnant. Can't have a bunch of old pregnant bitches running around, that's crazy. I'm only allowed to let in five percent black people. He said that. That means if there's twenty-five people here I get to let in one and a quarter black people. So I gotta hope there's a black midget in the crowd."
If you've seen the movie, or have a passing familiarity with Robinson, I'll bet you couldn't help but read that passage in his deep almost-monotone cadence.
It's that cadence and straight face that make him so much fun to watch, whether he's realizing he's dealing with a hot tub time machine in Hot Tub Time Machine, introducing an adult performer aptly named Bubbles in Zach and Miri Make A Porno, or as the newest occupant of a corner office in "The Office".
I suppose that's why I get giddy every time Robinson pops into something when I haven't expected him - because on some level he's going to let you in on his perspective of what is really going on.
I'll leave you with a clip from his days touring with Def Comedy Jam. By the way, before he was a successful comedian, he was a music teacher. Don't worry. He's not one of those types of comics that beats you over the head with musical talent.
Hot Tub Time Machine opens today - and judging from the Metacritic rating, it's worth the trip if the trailer was your cup of tea.
Places you may have seen Craig Robinson dead pan:
- "Arrested Development" as a security guard in the episode "Switch Hitter"
- Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story as Bobby Shad, the lounge performer who's thunder gets stolen by Dewey
- Zach and Miri Make a Porno as Delaney, the executive producer/financier
- "Eastbound and Down" as Reg Mackworthy, the hitter to end Kenny Powers' career
- "Reno 911!" as Levon French, a local commercial producer in the vein of the real-life Sammy Stephens, in the season six episode "Deputy Dance"
- Pineapple Express as Matheson, the thug with feelings who can hear everything you're saying

Travelling to the UK from Kazakhstan: learning from a study visit
During November 2016 a fifth cohort of academic colleagues from universities across Kazakhstan took part in the Learning and Teaching in Higher Education programme at Newcastle University. The programme was hosted and facilitated by staff from ECLS and managed through the North Leadership Centre. Our visitors had a busy schedule of taught sessions and workshops during which they were offered insights in to a wide range of academic practices. At the same time the visitors experienced British life – both in Newcastle and further afield.
We asked them to reflect on why they were here. What were they hoping to learn more about? Why did this matter to them? What first impressions did they have?
Here are some of their responses.

text: The tiger hill, Darjeeling. The place where you can see one of the magnificent sunrise with a view of the Mount Everest and the Kanchenjunga together on a side. As the place holds limited numbers of people, the people starts coming early in the morning from 3 am onwards. They waits for 3 hours in a 3 degree Celsius on their foot just to see the sunrise which takes place at around 6 am. It's wonderful to see the 3 minutes live play of lights between the sun and the Kanchenjunga. There is sun rising from the east and from the north we can see the rays hitting Kanchenjunga(the third highest mountain in the world) peak. The peak changes it's color so dramatically from blue to orange to pink within a minutes.

The Modern, Single Girl's Fear Of Herpes
I'm totally scared of dating again. Aside from the obvious fear of ego wars, being rejected, and living in the unknown; more specifically, I'm terrified of getting an STD. Terrified. I've come this far without getting warts, syphilis, hpv, herpes, having an abortion, or ANYTHING… and I don't want to start NOW. I wonder how many people I've given blowjobs to and had sex with in the past had herpes, but I didn't know cuz they didn't tell me, and I didn't get it. And now that I'm older, I've begun asking people point-blank if they have any sexually transmitted diseases, and when I boldly ask…they boldly tell me the truth. And sometimes the truth is 'yes', which is a very brave thing to come out and say. It's what they should do. It's a very personal, vulnerable thing to share and I totally respect them for it… But it makes me want to run in the other fucking direction as quickly as possible.
As quickly as I'd asked, I'll have wished I hadn't… because now I have all the information at my disposal. And there's something to be said for 'ignorance is bliss' I mean, at least until you find out you caught something. And while I'm totally able to separate my affection and fondness and respect for a person, from my fear of their STD, it still weighs on me. Cuz as much asII am attracted to someone who might have something, my main priority is to protect myself. I'm all for being sympathetic and empathetic and I know life happens and this is life and STD's are very common and happen, but at the same time, to have casual sex and risk getting herpes from someone who isn't even going to be a potential boyfriend and who will never, could never love me… well, that's too big a risk to take.
I have friends with oral herpes aka HSV 1 (cold sores that break out on and around their mouth) and I have friends with HSV 2 aka genital herpes – both suck. Both have stigmas.
Obviously genital herpes sounds worse and have a worse stigma cuz it's a break out on your private and for women who have it, it can also affect your baby when giving birth in the future. And while you can at least, more casually, refer to oral herpes/hsv 1 as 'cold sores' and they are more common cuz you can get infected with that as a kid, from kissing or sharing drinks… it still sucks cuz they are outbreaks on your face and both forms are extremely contagious. You could have an oral outbreak (or not), go down on someone and give them hsv 1 on their genitals. Or you could go down on someone and get hsv 2 on your mouth if THEY have genital herpes. And people can pass the virus through 'shedding' while they aren't even having a breakout. It's all so terrifying to me.
I've asked my gynecologist all about it and done so much research because I am an anxious, obsessing, over thinking, worrier and I like being that way. I like caring and getting all the information, so that i can protect myself as best as possible. She told me that if people with HSV 1 or 2 were to take a low dose of Valtrex on a daily basis, they could significantly reduce transmission of the virus. It reduces 'shedding' of the virus and it lessens the chance of a potential outbreak. But when i tell my friends who have the herpes, I don't think they believe me, or want to take a pill everyday. But why? Just take it! If not just to prevent your own potential outbreak, but to protect the people you hook up with. Smoking, stress, drug use, anything that compromises your immune system, and even the onset of your period also increases your chances of having an outbreak. That's why it's important to take vitamins that strengthen your immune system, not smoke or do drugs, and keep your stress level down. I tell my friends all these things, but then I get labeled as 'freaking out' or 'obsessive'. Well, I gladly accept these labels.
I don't know what's worse, to not have herpes and live in fear of getting it, or to be on the other side and already have it and no longer have to live in fear of getting it – but then you'd have to worry about break outs, telling someone you have it, and possibly infecting someone. Unless you decide not to tell at all. But that would be a really horrible thing to not do. I suppose in either case, you can decide if you want to 'worry' about any of it. All I know is that I don't have anything yet, and I do live in fear about it when sex is concerned.
The fact that there is NO CURE for herpes is terrifying, not to mention the social stigma attached to it. A stigma that makes you seem dirty and makes people scared. And overall, it all just seems like a painful hassle, headache that would make life more complicated. I already had cancer when I was in my early twenties. I don't want anymore hassles or responsibility or things to worry about. I already have that when it comes to making a living, maintaining my friendships, trying to make my dreams come true, not getting pregnant, avoiding moving violations, and falling in love. Dating and meeting new people is hard enough without having to pick up ointment and keep a shameful secret.
And why does it seem like women are the only ones who get tested? Why does it seem like girls are the only ones who are mindful and responsible when it comes to going to the doctor? Men seem to only run to a doctor when it's too late and there's a sore on their dick or ooze pouring out of some orifice. It doesn't have to be like that. Men are the ones who don't carry condoms to put over their dick; men are the ones who say 'i hate wearing a condom. I cant feel anything.'. If they would just get regular check ups and blood tests after each sexual partner, or even just every month or two, and stopped thinking about only their dicks comfort, maybe STDs wouldn't spread as easily. I'm not saying it's all mens fault; and i know i get tested more than most people, cuz I'm hyper health conscious and lucky enough to have health insurance, but you don't need health insurance to get tested. And to be concerned about your health and others doesn't make you neurotic, it makes you mindful and respectful of your body and the person you choose to link yourself too physically.
And if it seems like I'm man bashing, I'm not – but here's what I do know from talking to men and women and doctors and people of all ages, genders, shapes, sizes, ethnicities, and sexual orientations, etc… that the general consensus is: men hate going to the doctor and wearing condoms. Case closed. This is a very general statement, but one that is more true than not.
Ugh. Life! Insert emoji of a girl in pink throwing her arms up in a flurry of a huff.
And ps: because I do ask people/strangers about their opinion on herpes, and sex, and their fear of it all – can I tell you something horrific I've heard people say (mainly teenagers, but adults as well) on MORE than one occasion? I've heard people say 'I don't have herpes, I'm white.' WTF?! Well you are in for a rude awakening you small-minded racist bonehead. White people get herpes too. Jesus fucking Christ! What is wrong with people?!
Fuck, when I start having sex again, I might start taking preventative Valtrex to protect myself from getting something. And yes, I already intend on having protected sex.
But I think the smarter thing for me would be to only enter into a sexual relationship with someone I could be in a real relationship with. As obvious as that seems, it's a big step for me, as I'm a person who loves sex and does what she feels and wants to do. Prior to my last relationship, I had sex here and there with people I liked, but it wasn't serious. And that was a blast. You could label me as 'promiscuous' or 'slutty' but that's such a lame, misogynistic, unfair, gender stereotype. Men can do whatever they want, but if a woman has sex like a man does, cuz she wants to, cuz she can, MEN and girls who don't know better call her a slut. Well fuck off, and grow up.
However, nowadays, I do think it's important to know why you make the decisions you do. I think it's important to be conscious of your decision-making and to not be acting out of fear or some sort of subconscious, unhealthy, untrue belief system or sense of obligation; to think you must do something to please someone else, or because you think this is what you have to do because it's all you can do, or what you're supposed to do, or you deserve this. If you can really have a frank discussion with yourself and know why you choose what you choose, or why you want to do something: that's awesome.
Anyways, here's to being single, making healthy choices, being careful, and playing the game of sexual russian roulette. Good luck everyone. Xo

By Michael Bluejay Chances are someone sent you here so you could learn why they didn't respond favorably to your link request. In this article Michael Bluejay will cover the main reasons why link requests fail.Like other webmasters who run popular, high-ranking websites, he get requests every day to link to someone's site, usually in the form of a "reciprocal link." And like many of his fellow webmasters, he trash 99.9% of those requests. Why? Take your pick:
- The requests are annoying form letters.
- The sites wanting link trades are worthless.
- Sites should be linked to on merit, not on whether you get a freaking return link.
- Build a good site. Make sure your site is worth linking to. This means it should be attractive, easy to use, and most importantly, have good content. If you don't have a decent site then stop right here because the only sites you could get to link to you are other crappy sites which won't help your rankings much.
- If you're a business, be the best business in your field. If you're the best option for what you offer, you'll get links. If you're not, you don't deserve them.
- Link to the other site first. Don't play games like "I'll link to you if you link to me." If you want to increase your chances of success, link to the other site first.
- Don't threaten to delete your link if they don't link back. Nobody likes to be threatened. Never take down someone's link just because they didn't link back. If the only reason you put their link up was in hopes of getting a return link, then you shouldn't have linked to them in the first place.
- Don't use phrases link "reciprocal link", "link trade", or "link exchange". These phrases are the quickest way to his Delete button (and these days, my spam filter). Instead, tell the other webmaster that you linked to their site, what your site is about, and that you hope they'll link back if they think it will be of interest to their own visitors.

Last night the Regional School Committee, Pelham and Amherst School Committees and Union 26 sat in final judgement of Superintendent Maria Geryk's performance over the past school year. The final verdict was a good one. Mostly.
Overall they gave her a 3.08 out of 4 which is described as "proficient". But the document was quick to point out, "This is the rigorous expected level of performance."
Interestingly the Superintendent's lowest score, 2.8, came under "Management and Operations" which was probably negatively impacted by all the racial turmoil created in the wake of the Carolyn Gardner affair.
The joint committees voted 10-1 in favor of the condensed summary of 13 individual evaluations with only Amherst School Committee member Vira Douangmany Cage voting "No".
Ms. Cage had earlier asked why Pelham School Committee Chair Tara Luce -- an Amherst Regional School employee -- was allowed to evaluate her boss?
The Mass State Conflict of Interest law holds public officials to a very high standard and strongly suggests avoiding even the "appearance of a conflict."
Superintendent Geryk stated the School's attorney had looked at the situation when Luce was first elected and opined that as long as she did not vote on (her own) salary contract, it was not a conflict.
Currently Maria Geryk is the highest paid public employee in town with an annual salary of $158,000 plus $840 cell phone allowance and $10,000 for annuity/life insurance policy. She does not get a monthly car allowance.

Smallest Baby Born Enters High School
As seen on Yahoo's News --
"Madeline Mann is seen shortly after her birth in June 1989. Born at 27 weeks into her mother's pregnancy, she weighed just 9.9 ounces, less than any surviving baby in medical history. Next week, she enters high school as something even more extraordinary: an honors student who plays violin and likes to rollerblade." (AP Photo/A. Hayashi/Loyola University Health System)
And this is Madeline today!
So, Madeline was outside the womb at 27 weeks and the world considered her a person... Why are babies who are also 27 weeks but happen to be still inside the womb... not?
Why is it that we, as a nation, can be so dedicated to saving the life of a premie who is wanted... and callously leave a baby in the exact same condition (just "unwanted"!) exposed to die? (As has been documented numerous times, even though the Live Child act was signed two years ago!)
Oh Mother Mary, and Bl. Teresa of Calcutta, who had the courage to say what needed to be said, pray for us, for we are indeed among the poorest of peoples!
+ For the sake of His sorrowfull Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world!

Stay at Home - LOVE
Today was an absolute great day to be a stay at home mom. We got up early and spent the majority of the morning moving huge piles of dirt up the hill and into the garden...I am pooped! Grayson was such a great helper! At one point he was taking big dirt clods and loading his little shovel and walking up the hill to dump it in the garden. Kenna did a great job of digging weeds and spreading the dirt I loaded and Zachary took quite a bit of direction and then spent his morning finding nice rocks....he really hates to be hot, get dirty and sweat in any way....hopefully he grows out of that! Rewards with gatorade hence the absolutely filthy kid below with a blue mustache!
After dinner we rode to crocker and the kids played on the playground equipment for an hour. They played tag all three of them and actually got along great! They took turns pushing eachother in the swings and there were tons of giggles had by all. Everyone in the bath now soaking - but had to write about it as it was the absolute perfect day!!
April Visit
Oh what a whirlwind! My BFF April is in a transitional phase of moving right now. Her husband recently finished his schooling/army assignment in Atlanta and was reassigned for a short stint in Alabama. The tricky part is that he gets a one bedroom studio hotel room for the 3 months they are there....with 2 kids and a dog that is tight.
So, April took the 3 day car journey to come visit me! The boys were definitely tired of being in the car when they got here, and it took us a few days to figure out how to manage 5 kids, but in the end we had a great time :) I can safely say that I am extremely happy that we have 3 kids, and that we are done with that many...how people with more do it is beyond me!! We could barely all fit in one vehicle!!
There was lots of silliness and just general playing. Zachey taught Kanon a few of his favorite games from school. I think his favorite was "hide the lemon." Definitely found my real lemons in places that were quite funny. Kanon was perfectly happy playing outside most of the time, although was hard to keep track of all of them running around!
We made it to Big Creek - which I think was the best day. At first there was a field trip there from southeast polk, but after they left we had the toy and the beach to ourselves! We had a picnic, and the boys got filthy and wet, but still wouldn't have had it any other way!
Another day we made it to the zoo. The weather was amazing and we got to see almost everything before the boys got worn out. The giraffes were by far the best part...could almost touch them they were so close!
Kanon was a little leery about riding this train - but with a little mom trickery, he actually really enjoyed it :)
Declan is a giant. He is really happy and easy going as long as he is fed and rested. He really just was along for the ride most of the time and barely fussed at all!
Kanon LOVES fish/aquatics. We spent a lot of time picking up fish food and throwing it in the koi pond.
We also ventured to the science center. The boys loved playing with the water exhibit and sorting the fruit and veggies....always a crowd pleaser! Declan just enjoyed sitting and playing and watching!
A few things that we didn't take pictures of were visit to Gona and Baca's place to see the progress on the fence they are ripping out. Daddy was a little over zealous and knocked a tree down on top of the tractor...thank goodness for roll bar!
We went to a few parks and let them run their energy out! The first day they were here it was less than 50 degrees and we had to wear winter coats!!
April and I managed to squeeze in a few grocery shopping trips (woohoo!) Made it to costco and hyvee - life of motherhood I guess! We did have a girls night out where we got pedicures, had a drink and saw "The neighbors" movie. Big thanks to Uncle Spencer and daddy for watching ALL the kids so we could go! Great practice!
Also great practice was carrying an almost 30 pound 8 month old around the farmers market! We went twice, once with both of april's kids, and once with just Declan. We had to spend almost 30 minutes finding parking because the farmers market, color run and DMU graduation were all downtown...SOOOO crowded! I did have an amazing breakfast sandwich with asparagus and egg, my fav! Well worth it!
This picture pretty much sums up the trip...A LOT of work to get the boys here and try to get them acclimated. Poor april didn't sleep much and we did a lot of correcting of behaviors...but in the end well worth it to get to see eachother!! Hoping they land a somewhat bigger temporary housing situation for the sanity of her family!!
Thanks for visiting Auntie April!!

Kenna Birthday
This year we continued the theme of, well, theme parties for the kiddos. Kenna after scouring pinterest, decided on a rock star party. The girls came and did their hair in crazy side ponies and painted it pink and purple. They adorned themselves in rockstar attire and painted their faces. The girls had fun making their own pizzas and decorating their cupcakes. Luckily Josh was able to download the latest version of Just Dance, because that MADE the party! We moved the couches out of the way and the girls rocked out for at least 30 minutes...was pretty impressive!
She got spoiled with lots of outside water toys and monster high paraphernalia...quite fun :)
