Using Bookmarks In Firefox
Bookmarks are a great way to store websites you want to remember to check often, things you want to remember to read or view more carefully but won't have the time for until later, or even things you want to be sure to show someone else that may not be available at the moment you find it. They help us to organize ourselves and our browsing time and increase our efficiency, something important in all aspects of life. Whether at work or at play, our time is always limited, and greater efficiency in our browsing experience helps to maximize the amount we can do, both for business and pleasure, which is a good thing in either case.
For something we use so readily, many of us are not aware of how much we can do with our bookmarks, and how much we can get them to do for us. This article will guide you through all the steps of organizing and saving bookmarks in Firefox, and show you all of the features available to you to improve your browsing experience.
- slide 2 of 10
Creating Bookmarks In Firefox
Creating and saving bookmarks in Firefox is easy. The easiest way to do this is to bookmark the page you're already on. First click on the bookmarks tab along the top of your browser window. Then, simply click Bookmark This Page. In the window that appears, Firefox will automatically populate the "Name" field with the Header from your browser, but you can type in any different name you prefer. The next step is to select where you want to save the bookmark to. Firefox defaults to adding bookmarks to the Bookmark Menu, which will place it in your main Bookmarks tab, outside of any folders.
Also, if you have multiple related tabs open at once, and you want to bookmark them all, you can click the Bookmark All Tabs button. It will automatically create a Folder and place each tab, as its own bookmark, in that folder. First, choose a name for the folder to override the default of "[Folder Name]," and then choose where to save the bookmark folder to, just as you would with a single bookmark. Now click Done and the bookmark will be saved.
Finally, you can right-click anywhere in your Bookmark Tab and simply select New Bookmark. Fill in the name as before, and manually enter the URL of the website you want to bookmark under "Location." Tags, keywords, and description are all optional things you can add to better describe that bookmark if you wish. Click Add and the bookmark will automatically be added to your Bookmark Menu. You will need to manually move it if you wish to save it somewhere else. You can also add a Folder or a separator simply by right-clicking anywhere in the Bookmark Tab and selecting the appropriate option.

Editing and Saving Bookmarks In Firefox This handy guide well explain saving bookmarks in Firefox and how to edit your saved bookmarks to make the best use of them through effective use of tags, descriptions, folders, and all other organizational tools.
- slide 4 of 10
Saving Bookmarks In Firefox
Once you've chosen to bookmark a page, you may not want to simply save it to the main Bookmark Menu. When saving bookmarks in Firefox, from the "Add Bookmark" dialogue box that appears, click the arrow on the far right side of the drop down box to expand all of your choices for Folders to save to. You can place the bookmark in any folder you have, or you can click the New Folder button to create a new folder, which will automatically add a Folder to your list. Like adding a folder anywhere else on your computer, it will be named "New Folder" by default, but that can of course be changed by typing something else in. Once you've selected a folder you like or created one to select, you can choose that folder in the drop-down box to save your new bookmark to.
Alternately, you can choose to save the bookmark to your "Bookmark Toolbar," which adds to it to a toolbar list of bookmarks that appears directly underneath your URL bar. Lastly, you can add tags, separated by commas, to your bookmark, describing what the site is about, using words like news, games, images, etc. Tags can be used later to help with organizing your bookmarks, and also, if you type a tag into your address bar in place of a URL, Firefox will open a list of pages that apply to that tag. Choose one, and it will load that page as if you had typed in the URL. Once all of fields are completed to your satisfaction, simply click Done, and the bookmark is saved.
- slide 5 of 10
Editing Bookmarks In Firefox
After saving your bookmarks, you'll want to make sure you have all their information entered properly. By opening your Bookmark Tab and right-clicking, you will be presented with a list of options. Click on properties to edit, and re-enter any information you want to change. Changing the location will change the actual bookmark as this is the URL. You can, however, change the name, tags, or description here, and you can add a keyword if you wish. Keywords are a really neat feature for bookmarks you're going to be using a lot. Enter something easy to remember that's easy to type (maybe only a few letters long) and save it. Now, type that keyword into your address bar instead of typing a URL. Firefox will instantly read that keyword as your bookmark and take you the appropriate page, just like typing in a tag, except this will always be tailored to a single exact URL instead of a list, which is great for sites you check daily or even more often, such as your email for instance.

Organizing Bookmarks and Using Live Bookmarks in Firefox Using the best types of bookmarks will give you access to the most features, and keeping them well-organized will ensure you get the most out of them. This will guide you through subscribing to RSS feeds of Live Bookmarks so that you can stay updated on the latest from your favorite websites.
- slide 7 of 10
Organizing Bookmarks In Firefox
To change where a bookmark is saved to, instead of right-clicking on it, you can simply left-click and hold (if you don't hold down the mouse button it will just open the bookmark) until it lets you drag it. Then, drag it to the new place you want to keep it. Alternately, when viewing a page you've bookmarked, there will be a yellow star in the right-hand side of your address bar. Click on that, and a box will appear to let you change all the options, in exactly the same manner as when you first create a bookmark. However, notice the addition of a "Remove Bookmark" button at the top of the box, which will delete the bookmark. You can also click on delete when you right-click a bookmark in the Bookmark Tab to remove it.
You can also open the Organize Bookmarks option under the Bookmarks Tab for access to all of the organizational options more readily collected. From here you can change individual bookmark information, and change where bookmarks are saved to. As well, you can organizational things such as New Folders and New Separators to your Bookmark Menu and your Bookmark Toolbars.
- slide 8 of 10
Subscribing To Live Bookmarks In Firefox
Another feature Firefox offers is that of "Live Bookmarks," which allows you to bookmark pages that update right in the bookmark. By default, Firefox has one Live Bookmark: "Latest Headlines." Clicking on it, at any time, will open a list of the latest news headlines from the BBC News website. You can click on any one of them to open that headline. Also, at the very bottom of the list, you can click on Open Latest Headlines to open the main news website, or you can click on Open in All Tabs, which will open each headline in the list, each in its own Firefox Tab. These guidelines for using Live Bookmarks will apply to any other Live Bookmarks that you save.
To save a Live Bookmark to your Firefox browser, you must first choose a page with an RSS feed to bookmark. An RSS feed (which technically stands for Rich Site Summary, but often gets expanded colloquially to Really Simple Syndication) is simply something that, once you've subscribed to it, checks for updates frequently and downloads those updates directly to your list so that you can see when a page has updated without actually going to that page. It's something that is provided by many sites that update frequently, such as blogs, news sites, or content-based article sites such as Bright Hub itself. A website will inform Firefox when it has an RSS feed by placing the RSS symbol in the address bar, right before the Bookmark star. You can click that button, or under the Bookmark Tab, you can click Subscribe to this page. Then, simply type a name and choose a place to save it to, just as you would with any other Bookmark. You will now have a live, automatically updated feed of that website at your fingertips.

Backing Up Your Bookmarks In Firefox Saving bookmarks in Firefox is very helpful, but it does you little good if you suddenly lose them. Read this for a helpful tutorial on backing up your bookmarks in Firefox so that you'll always have them available to you.
- slide 10 of 10
Backing Up Your Bookmarks In Firefox
Within the "Organize Bookmarks" option, there is a clickable option along the top labeled Import and Backup. This allows you to save your bookmarks as a file browsers can recognize, or import a file saved from another browser. With just one plugin, however, you can go one step further and have your bookmarks automatically back themselves up online. There are many plugins available to back your bookmarks up online, but I suggest Xmarks.
Xmarks, formerly known as Foxmarks, saves your bookmarks to a web account, allowing you to instantly recover them should your browser ever need to be re-installed. It also backs itself up any time you make a change so that you don't have to back them up on your own. Most importantly, however, because your bookmarks are saved to your account online and not to a file on your physical computer, they can be recovered from any computer at any time, simply by downloading the Xmarks plugin to that computer as well and logging in. Now, your bookmarks can be easily accessed and altered at home, work, school, or anywhere else.
In addition, Xmarks will optionally synch all opened tabs across multiple browsers at once, and it supports most major browsers. It also allows users to review sites and will suggest recently bookmarked and well-reviewed sites when you search for things, helping you to hopefully find something even more useful to you. Finally, available only in Firefox, Xmarks has an optional password synch feature that allows you to recover your passwords from any computer instead of having to remember them, and it stores them in an encrypted format, protected by a PIN you choose, so that no one can steal them.
Either way, whether you choose to download a plugin or simply things up to your computer, you should always be sure to back up anything you wouldn't want to lose, and there's no reason bookmarks should be any different.
Once you have a set of well-organized bookmarks, backed up so you'll never lose access to them, you'll find that your browsing experience becomes much better. You won't forget about certain pages you wanted to read or messages you wanted to reply to for days on end. Things you meant to show to people will actually be shown to them. Follow the tips above, and you'll be free to make the most of your online time.

"I have good news to tell you."It's impossible to close the door. Discount Nike Air Max TN Man Sports Shoes – Black White PC508364 Not having very far to go, the new-comers stretched themselves on their couches without undressing and began to converse in a low tone of voice.
A few days later a special train, consisting of eight railway carriages, partitioned off into small and uncomfortable cells, lighted only by ventilators from the roof, steamed out of the Gare d'Orleans on its way to St. Martin de Re. Among the number of blood-stained criminals of every imaginable category which constituted its living freight, was Frederick Count von Waldberg, alias Franz Werner, alias Baron Wolff, but now known only as No. 21,003.Frederick, having ascertained that the colonel was quite dead, took from his contracted hand the letter he had been reading, replaced it in the portefeuille with the others, and then restored it to his pocket. Bending once more over the lifeless form of the colonel he drew the pin from the almost invisible wound, which had not even bled, and replaced it in his tie. Then, taking the body in his arms, he dragged it to the lounge, on which he carefully laid it, closing the wide-open eyes and arranging the pillows under the head. Lowering the lamp, he went softly to the door, and, after listening intently for some minutes to hear if any one was about, he stepped out of the room, and closing the door after him, walked down stairs and into the quiet, lonely street."Is there anything in this world duller than the pronunciamento of a dull woman!" he said to himself. On the street, for sheer relief of feeling the cool air against his face, instead of the warm stillness of Mrs. Payton's sitting-room, he did not hail the approaching car, but strolled aimlessly along the pavement, sticky with fog. Discount Nike Air Max TN Man Sports Shoes – Black White PC508364 Mrs. Payton clasped and unclasped her hands: "I did my duty! But do you suppose I've been happy?" Her breath caught in a sob. "I've lived in hell all these years, just to make a home for you! I did my duty."Then Frederica poured her contrition into his pitying ears."Excuse me, lady, I—" Howard's instant grip on his collar spun him around so suddenly that the rest of the hiccoughing apologies were lost in astonishment; he stood still, swaying in his tracks, and gaping at the receding pair. "The dude thought I was mashin' his girl," he said, with a giggle.[Pg 128]"All right, I guess. I don't hear from him very often. He's left the region of mails. I've sent him a good many pamphlets and an abstract of a paper I'm writing for the annual meeting of the league. One of these days he'll stop puddling round with shells and do something, I hope. I won't let up on him till he does."Laura, curled up on the bed, listened. "He's right," she said, when Frederica, with due carelessness, read Howard's panegyrics on her brains; "you are terribly clever, Freddy.""Not a place! I've looked everywhere. (He refused me.)""I'm engaged!"[Pg 254]Mrs. Childs said that was the most charitable way to[Pg 273] look at it, and—amiably ready to tell anything to anybody—repeated the charitable opinion to Mrs. Payton.People rushed to help, half trying to wake up the boy, theother half the father.

But perhaps, shethought, there were kinder years waiting still. A new life, a lifein which she would find the blessings that Nana had saidaharami like her would never see. Two new flowers hadunexpectedly sprouted in her life, and, as Mariam watched thesnow coming down, she pictured Mullah Faizullah twirlinghisiasbeh beads, leaning in and whispering to her in his soft,tremulous voice,But it is God Who has planted them, Mariamjo.

She lay on her stomach, feelinglike a stupid, pitiable animal, and hissed as Mariam arrangeddamp cloths across her bloodied back and thighs. But, usually,Laila refused to cave in. She made as if she were going home,then took a different route down side streets. Sometimes shewas caught, questioned, scolded-two, three, even four times in asingle day. Then the whips came down and the antennas slicedthrough the air, and she trudged home, bloodied, without somuch as a glimpse of Aziza.

How to Make Homemade Grape Jelly from Bottled Grape Juice - Easily!
Click here for a PDF print versionMaking and canning your own grape jelly from grape juice (either bottled, frozen or fresh) is also quite easy. Here's how to do it, in a few easy steps and completely illustrated. You can use bottled white grape juice, red, Concord or any other variety; or even frozen juice concentrate. You can make the jelly sugarless, or add sugar, honey or even Stevia (in a prepared form like Truvia, it measures same as sugar; if you use another form, you'll need do your own conversion) - or Splenda, if you prefer, , depending upon your own needs and tastes. These directions work equally well to make other types of jelly from other juice, such as raspberry, blackberry, etc.; by themselves or mixed berry jelly, or see this page for directions about making other types of jelly from bottled or frozen juice. Any variations will be spelled out in the directions inside the pectin package.
Related pages: See this page for How to make muscadine or scuppernong jelly or this page for Jam-making directions and this page for apple jelly directions!
For easy applesauce or apple butter directions, click on these links.
Yield: about 12 eight-ounce jars (which is the same as 6 pints).
- Grape juice - 6 cups bottled, without sugar added or reconstituted from frozen, without sugar
- Pectin - 2 boxes needed (it's a natural product, made from apples and available at grocery stores (season - spring through late summer) and local "big box" stores. It usually goes for about $2.00 to $2.50 per box. You'll get best results with no-sugar needed pectin, whether you choose to add sugar or not! See here for more information about how to choose the type of pectin to use.
- Sugar - About 4.5 cups of dry, granulated (table) sugar, if you use the no-sugar-needed pectin (the only type I recommend) or low sugar pectin. If you use regular pectin, you'll need 7 cups of sugar. Of course, you can substitute honey, agave, stevia or Splenda; see the no-sugar recipe, click here.
- At least 1 large pot; I prefer 16 to 20 quart Teflon lined pots for easy cleanup.
- 1 Canner (a huge pot to sanitize the jars after filling (about $30 to $35 at mall kitchen stores, sometimes at big box stores and grocery stores.). Note: we sell canners and supplies here, too - at excellent prices - and it helps support this web site!
- Ball jars (Grocery stores, like Publix, Kroger, Safeway carry them, as do some big box stores - about $7 per dozen 8 ounce jars including the lids and rings)
- Lids - thin, flat, round metal lids with a gum binder that seals them against the top of the jar. They may only be used once.
- Rings - metal bands that secure the lids to the jars. They may be reused many times.
- Lid lifter (has a magnet to pick the lids out of the boiling water where you sanitize them. ($2 at big box stores or it comes in the kit at left)
- Large spoons and ladles
- Jar funnel ($2 at Target, other big box stores, and often grocery stores; and available online - see this page) or order it as part of the kit with the jar grabber.
- Jar grabber (to pick up the hot jars)- Big box stores and
grocery stores sometimes carry them; and it is available online - see
this page. It's a tremendously useful to put jars in the canner
and take the hot jars out (without scalding yourself!). The kit sold
below has everything you need, and at a pretty good price:
Grape Jelly-from-Juice Directions
This example shows you how to make grape jelly. You can use this recipe to make almost any type of jelly from the fruit juice; where there is a difference, I will point it out! The yield from this recipe is about 12 eight-ounce jars (which is the same as 6 pints).
Step 1 - Wash the jars and lids
Now's a good time to get the jars ready, so you won't be rushed later. The dishwasher is fine for the jars; especially if it has a "sanitize" cycle, the water bath processing will sanitize them as well as the contents! If you don't have a dishwasher with a sanitize cycle, you can wash the containers in hot, soapy water and rinse, then sanitize the jars by boiling them 10 minutes, and keep the jars in hot water until they are used.
NOTE: If unsanitized jars are used, the product should be processed for 5 more minutes. However, since this additional processing can result in a poor set (runny jelly), it's better to sanitize the jars.
Put the lids into a pan of hot, but not quite boiling water (that's what the manufacturer's recommend) for 5 minutes, and use the magnetic "lid lifter wand" to pull them out.
Leave the jars in the dishwasher on "heated dry" until you are ready to use them. Keeping them hot will prevent the jars from breaking when you fill them with the hot jelly.
Step 2 - Measure out the sugar
Check the directions with the pectin; typically, it is 7 cups of sugar for regular pectin (4.5 cups for no-sugar pectin) to 5 or 6 cups of grape juice and one box of pectin; but I add about another 1/2 box of pectin to get a firmer set. The precise measurements are found in each and every box of pectin sold. Mix the dry pectin with about 1/4 cup of sugar and Keep this separate from the rest of the sugar. If you are not using sugar, you'll just have to stir more vigorously to prevent the pectin from clumping.
Again, if you use regular pectin, you'll need 7 cups of sugar, which is a LOT of sugar, so I recomend using the no-sugar-needed pectin, which halves the sugar. Of course, you can substitute honey, agave, stevia or Splenda; see the no-sugar recipe, click here.
Step 3 - Add the pectin to the hot juice and bring to a full boil
Stir the pectin into the grape juice and put the mix in a big pot on the stove over medium to high heat (stir often enough to prevent burning). It should take about 5 to 10 minutes to get it to a full boil (the kind that cannot be stirred away).
Notes about pectin: I usually add about 30% to 50% more pectin (just open another pack and add a little) or else the jelly is runnier than I like. With a little practice, you'll find out exactly how much pectin to get the thickness you like.
Another tip: use the low sugar or no-sugar pectin. It cuts the amount of sugar you need from 7 cups per batch to 4 cups. And it tastes even better! On the other hand; I still add some sugar, even with the No-sugar pectin. With no added sugar, the batches always turned out runny and bland. You might want to try using the low sugar recipe with a mixture of sugar and Stevia (in a prepared form like Truvia, it measures same as sugar; if you use another form, you'll need do your own conversion) - or Splenda, if you prefer, ; that could work.
Is your jelly too runny? Pectin enables you to turn out perfectly set jelly
every time. Made from natural apples, there are also natural no-sugar
pectins that allow you to reduce the sugar you add by half or even eliminate
Get them all here at the best prices on the internet!
Step 4 - Get the lids warming
If you didn't do so already, put the lids into a pan of hot water for at least several minutes; to soften up the gummed surface and clean the lids.
Need lids, rings and replacement jars?
Get them all here, delivered direct to your home, at the best prices on the internet!
Step 5 - Add the remaining sugar and bring to a boil
When the grape-pectin mix has reached a full boil, add the rest of the sugar (for regular pectin; about 6 and 3/4 cups of sugar per 6 cup batch of grape juice; or 4 cups of sugar if you are using the low or no-sugar pectin) and then bring it back to a boil and boil hard for 1 minute.
Step 6 - Testing for "jell" (thickness)
I keep a metal tablespoon sitting in a glass of ice water, then take a half spoonful of the mix and let it cool to room temperature on the spoon. If it thickens up to the consistency I like, then I know the jelly is ready. If not, I mix in a little more pectin (about 1/4 to 1/2 of another package) and bring it to a boil again for 1 minute.
Step 7 - Fill the jars and put the lid and rings on
Fill them to within 1/4-inch of the top, wipe any spilled jelly off the top, seat the lid and tighten the ring around them. Then put them into the boiling water canner!
This is where the jar tongs come in really handy!
Step 8 - Process the jars in the boiling water bath
Keep the jars covered with at least 2 inches of water. Keep the water boiling. In general, boil them for 5 minutes, which is what SureJell (the makers of the pectin) recommend. I say "in general" because you have to process (boil) them longer at higher altitudes than sea level, or if you use larger jars, or if you did not sanitize the jars and lids right before using them. The directions inside every box of pectin will tell you exactly - and see the Table below for altitude differences. The directions on the pectin tend to be pretty conservative. Note: Some people don't even boil the jars; they just ladle it hot into hot jars, put the lids and rings on and invert them, but putting the jars in the boiling water bath REALLY helps to reduce spoilage! To me, it makes little sense to put all the working into making the jelly and then not to process the jars to be sure they don't spoil!
|Table 1. Recommended process time for Grape Jelly in a boiling water canner.

|Style of Pack
|Jar Size
|0 - 1,000 ft
|1,001 - 6,000 ft
|Above 6,000 ft
or Pints
|5 min
Step 9 - Remove and cool the jars - Done!
Lift the jars out of the water with your jar lifter tongs and let them cool without touching or bumping them in a draft-free place (usually takes overnight) You can then remove the rings if you like, but if you leave them on, at least loosen them quite a bit, so they don't rust in place due to trapped moisture. Once the jars are cool, you can check that they are sealed verifying that the lid has been sucked down. Just press in the center, gently, with your finger. If it pops up and down (often making a popping sound), it is not sealed. If you put the jar in the refrigerator right away, you can still use it. Some people replace the lid and reprocess the jar, then that's a bit iffy. If you heat the contents back up, re-jar them (with a new lid) and the full time in the canner, it's usually ok.
Once cooled, they're ready to store. I find they last up to 12 months. But after about 6 to 8 months, they get darker in color and start to get runny. They still are safe to eat, but the flavor and texture aren't as good. So eat them in the first 6 months after you prepare them!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. I was reading the instructions on making grape jelly. We have a super-duper juicer that we can run the grapes through and skip the grape-food processor/ crushing steps, but is that a suitable thing to do?
A. Sure, that ought to work great!
Q. I don't have a jelly sieve, so you suggest cheesecloth (which I do have). Will the jelly come out clear using cheesecloth (even doubled up). I really don't want to use a pillow case as I've heard is the way to go. Will cheesecloth do the trick?
Yup! It just depends what you want to achieve. The finer the cloth, the more clear the final product. But that also reduces the yield, and the "cloudiness" is actually bits of fruit, which I like!

Home Canning Kits
This is the same type of standard canner that my grandmother used to make everything from applesauce to jellys and jellies to tomato and spaghetti sauce. This complete kit includes everything you need and lasts for years: the canner, jar rack, jar grabber tongs, lid lifting wand, a plastic funnel, labels, bubble freer, and the bible of canning, the Ball Blue Book. It's much cheaper than buying the items separately. You'll never need anything else except jars and lids (and the jars are reusable).

Twenty years ago, on September 16, 1992, sterling was forced out of the ERM amid extreme market turbulence. It was a political catastrophe that cast a long and baleful shadow over the then government.
It ripped open divisions in the Conservative Party. It hardened battle lines in the bitter debate over Britain's place in Europe. It destroyed tolerance in the party, and laid finally to rest the notion that loyalty was its secret weapon. The aftermath inspired more myths than the Greeks.
Margaret Thatcher and I took sterling into the ERM in 1989 to general applause. Our decision was not some reckless flight of fancy. A poll in the Financial Weekly suggested that 97 per cent of business leaders wanted sterling to join, 66 per cent of whom did not care at what exchange rate we entered. The CBI, TUC, Parliament, press and public were overwhelmingly in favour. Entry had been proposed previously by Geoffrey Howe and Nigel Lawson, but – reinforced by advisers – Margaret had said "No".
By October 1989, inflation was rising ominously and interest rates were at a ruinous 15 per cent; all the ingredients of a serious recession were in the mix. Margaret cared about this as much as I did. We had run out of other anti-inflationary options – and so sterling entered the ERM.
Margaret had changed her mind to "Yes" because circumstances had changed. Later, she was to change it back again but, at the time of entry, she was strongly in favour – indeed, to kill inflation, she even contemplated entry at a higher exchange rate.
Because our economic sickness was dire, the remedy was painful. Many were hurt, especially individuals and small businesses, while the Government was seen as uncaring. Then, as now, we were not. Our intention was to end the curse of rising prices and the strict medicine worked: by 1992, interest rates and inflation had begun to fall. A platform for growth was set and when, five years later, the government was defeated, inflation was 2.6 per cent, interest rates had fallen to 6 per cent, the national accounts were balanced and we had enjoyed five successive years of healthy growth. Norman Lamont and Ken Clarke can be proud of their role in this transformation.
No government in living memory passed on such an inheritance – and no government in history squandered it as comprehensively as New Labour.
Are there things, in retrospect, I would have done differently? Of course, and the options run through my mind like an old movie. Failures – like our ERM exit – linger longer in the mind than successes, but "if only" is a pointless consideration.
The politics of ejection from the ERM were truly terrible and scarred the government beyond repair. I had no doubt about that – or what it would mean. I had recommended entry and presided over exit. There was political blood on the ground and the government's opponents – within and beyond the Conservative Party – took full advantage. Anti-European sentiment was refreshed and reinvigorated.
I decided to resign. Colleagues and officials urged me not to do so. It would be running away, I was told. I stayed – but have never been sure that was right.
All this is now in the past, and the cold unblinking eye of history will put it in proper perspective. But its political legacy lives on in our fractious European debate.
Europe faces acute dilemmas. The concept of the European Union is noble: the reality is not. Members are divided on the crisis in the eurozone, budget deficits, control of the central bank, nuclear power, and many aspects of foreign policy. It is a Union in name – but not in policy.
More than 20 years ago, I opted out of the euro. I did so for complex reasons, but most obviously because I believed that a monetary union without a fiscal union was economically lop-sided. Other European leaders didn't agree. For them, the euro was a political priority. We now see the result of putting politics before economics.
The short-term threat to the eurozone has been held at bay by committing vast sums of money. But nothing has been done to solve the underlying conundrum: how can inefficient economies co-exist with more efficient economies in the same currency zone?
The plain truth is that, over the long-term, they can't: to survive, they must become more efficient. But such a transformation requires long-term financial support, and painful policies such as cutting wages to improve competitiveness. It will be neither easy, nor quick, and may not even be possible. Creditor nations need to understand there is a limit to enforceable austerity: if the burden imposed is too severe, liberal democracies may not be able to deliver. It is worth remembering that Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain are not long-standing and mature democracies.
Events in the eurozone are coming to a tipping point. No one can be certain how they will fall out, but we can begin to see an outline of the future. I expect the eurozone to survive largely intact. German plans for deeper integration – to fiscal union and a federal structure – will proceed, albeit very slowly. Throughout the years of this interregnum, eurozone growth will be stunted by uncertainty and indecision.
Some eurozone members may leave the evolving federal structure, either through economic weakness or political unwillingness to pool fundamental decision-making. Those that remain – the new inner core – will be more unified, more compact, more federal, more self-contained and – crucially – will change the dynamic of the whole European Union. We will not be part of the euro inner core. Nor do we wish to be. It is against our history, our instincts and our interests. Our situation will change because their situation has changed.
The changes Germany is leading are so profound that they cannot be smuggled through in a clandestine way. Every nation in the EU will be affected. As integration deepens, we will not be alone in seeking a credible structure outside the federal core, but within the single market and the wider EU. A treaty – requiring unanimity – may be necessary.
We must be clear about our objectives. No mainstream political party wishes to leave the EU. In a world that is becoming more integrated, it would be quixotic: a romantic folly. But British electors do not wish to join the euro. A large majority is opposed for the foreseeable future, although the prudent would not close the door for all time – but, even for pragmatists, the circumstances may never be right. It will not happen in my lifetime.
If a unified euro-core does develop, it will be a fundamental change. It may be incremental, and take years, but no one should doubt its impact. It is also an opportunity. If an inner core can radically alter its relationship with the EU as a whole, then non-core members may feel free to do the same. I believe they should. There is a bargain to be struck. Our relationship with Europe has been a running sore in British politics for more than half a century. The opportunity is coming to settle on one that is more amenable to our interests and our instincts.
For too many years, debate on Europe has been conducted more by gut instinct than rational consideration – and with maximum ill-will. It is time to examine the facts forensically and make informed judgments upon them. All our futures depend on it.

review: gillette venus swirl.
|{razor packaged with 2 blade refills}
there are many technological advances that make the shave with the gilette venus swirl the smoothest yet. it's amazing how much thought and attention to detail went into it's inception, including:
- new flexiball technology (brand new to both the women's and men's razor market) which allows the razor to navigate contours (like ankles and knees) with ease (and without nicking the skin).
- the razor has five blades, which thinner and finer than their predecessors, making the shave less clumsy.
- a microfine comb accompanies the blades, guiding hair into a uniform direction for a more even shave.
- the blades are surrounded by a water-activiated moistureglide serum, which acts as a built-in shave gel.
this is the perfect razor for anyone who finds shaving as tricky as i do. suggested retail price of $12.59 at food and drugstores nationwide.

Festival Essence
With Festival Season nigh at hand, I wanted to explore just what it is, exactly, that makes these events so darn great. The obvious element is all the great bands in one place for multiple days on a sunny late spring or mid-summer weekend. Of course the family feel you get when hoards of like-minded freaks are in one spot enjoying a communal event is also very special. And then theres the outdoor fun, the spring in everyones step, and the general party vibe that bubbles and percolates like a fizzy cola. In my experience over the years, there are a few choice elements at summer festivals that give these events that special magic and soul-lifting goodness which is hard to describe.
First and foremost is the roadtrip. Ive see postings on different band message boards from time to time about how sweet a festival will be, especially since it is a short drive from someones home. Bullocks to that! While one cant really argue that the festival itself is the pinnacle experience, getting there can be a huge part of the fun. Roadtrips are very important in jamband lore from the days of touring with the Dead or Phish – and the beatnik tradition of bumming around before that. This country was built on a tradition of wanderers and explorers. So the act of actually getting there is an important element of the festival. Being crammed into a car or party wagon with some close friends for many hours, or even days, is a special experience. There will be good times, arguments, boredom, music, games, conversations, naps, etc. The range of human experience during a nice roadtrip is expansive. Stopping at restaurants and rest areas and interacting with other people along the way is also part of the excitement. Camping during multi-day roadtrips en route is another bonding experience that builds excitement for the festival proper. And when the goal is finally reached, there is a communal feeling of accomplishment that is palpable when everyone gets their camp site set up.
Another key element that must be present to get the full festival experience is that infectious warm weather fun. This can take many shapes and sizes. Some people like to bring the ole pigskin to toss around. Others prefer the traditional heady Frisbee toss. And some people prefer the oft-maligned and sometimes misunderstood hula hoop. Whether its walking in the sun with a friend, painting your face for all to see, or juggling apples in the middle of a festival lawn while the music washes over you, enjoying some warm weather activity is one of the simple things that will enhance any festival-goers enjoyment. Dancing to live music is great, but with multiple days of music there is simply no excuse for not enjoying some other warm weather activities to enhance and round out the experience.
One of the most important elements of festival goodness for me is the campsite hang-n-jam downtimes. Most festivals simulcast the shows to local radio stations which you can then tune in at your campsite. So if none of the bands on stage at the moment particularly floats your boat, laying low and hanging out at the campsite is key. This is where the hilarious outbursts happen, where strange characters may stop in for a visit, and where a general feeling of camaraderie is built. Hanging out with old and new friends is very important to the festival experience. And of course everyone has some sort of musical instrument packed along whether its a guitar, banjo, bongo, or mandolin. Busting out these instruments with new and old friends and kicking down some jams is a bonding experience like no other. Its fun, entertaining, and you might even learn a new lick or two and youll make new friends you can connect with later when you see them at a set of music. So never underestimate the importance of solid hang-n-jam time at your campsite.
Speaking of the campsite, another thing that can make the festival a special experience is what I like to call Festi-food. Almost everyone has a special summertime festival meal or snack they like to bring along. Whether its a curried chicken salad with grapes and raisin, a refreshing organic fruit salad, or big hunks of meat to sear on the grill, almost everyone has a delicious festi-food. There have been certain dishes Ive associated with certain festivals for years. Not to mention many festivals now have an incredibly wide array of tasty food at the vending booths. From organic treats, sweet desserts, cool and tasty beverages, or even late night fried snackins, there is something for everyone. One particular festival, for example, has frozen fruit juice bars which are then dipped in chocolate and rolled in chopped peanuts. Without enjoying that particular treat each time I attend, I havent REALLY been to the festival.
One of the most important features that make festivals so special is the Late Night Show. There is an intangible aura of something important about these events. Long after the sun has gone down and the day time activity has subsided, the music never stops. Theres a special feeling of brotherhood/sisterhood at these sets – these are the hardcore minions who cant get enough music and yearn to see bands stretch out a bit. Musical guests and sit-ins are almost a given due to so many musicians being in one place. The children are tucked away and sleeping at the campsites, so these late night events also have a special adult feel to them. And as it gets later in the evening, the crowd often gets a little sparser, the music gets more intense, and the dancing gets going full throttle. There is a special air of jubilation that cant really be described. Bottom line, at least one late night show is essential at any festival.
Another element that can be great at a festival is an RV. While some feel renting an RV is sacrilegious and the antithesis of everything a festival stands for, sometimes they are so nice. Certain festivals are in extremely hot places and having that RV which provides air-conditioned comfort, a quiet and dark place to sleep, and easily prepared meals with food from the fridge cooked on your personal stove can be awesome. Now many people reading this might be thinking, Man, this guy must be old! You are correct! And I will concede that the RV is more of an older festival attendee accoutrement. But if you find yourself getting on in years (hey, itll happen to you, too) wanting to attend a hot festival like Bonnaroo or High Sierra and you rent an RV, I dont think youll ever look back.
Of course, what makes a festival special for any one person is a very individual thing. Some people might only want the music or might only be there for the camping and party atmosphere. But no one can argue that these events are very special and are usually only available to attend in the warmer months. So with festival season hitting us, be sure to get out to at least one or two of these events and make some special festival memories that will last a lifetime!

House of Commons
Session 2001-02
Publications on the internet
Weekly Information Bulletin
Weekly Information Bulletin: 23rd June 2001
Visits to the Gallery of the House of Commons
The Strangers' Gallery is open whilst the House sits - usually 14.30-22.30 or later on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 11.30-7.30 on Thursdays, and 09.30-15.00 on most Fridays. You can check whether the House will be sitting by telephoning 020-7219 4272 or by listening to the recorded announcement of business (020-7219 5532).
Attending on Monday - Thursday afternoons
It is difficult to secure a place in the Gallery during the afternoon (Question Time takes place on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays 14.30 hours to 15.30 (with the Prime Minister answering from 15.00 to 15.30 on Wednesdays) and on Thursdays from 11.30 to 12.30.
To attend at this time, United Kingdom residents should write as far in advance as possible (several weeks' notice may be necessary) to their local Member of Parliament (the House of Commons Information Office can advise who this is if there is doubt). Members have only a small allocation of tickets, and by no means for every day. It is therefore usually difficult for them to meet requests for tickets for specific days.
Foreign and Commonwealth visitors can apply to their Embassy or High Commission in the UK for a card of introduction, which will normally permit entry during the early afternoon. Embassies and High Commissions may issue no more than four cards on any day, so visitors from certain countries may find cards are booked for several weeks ahead. Please note that such cards do not guarantee entry at 14.30. Quite often, it will not be possible to admit their bearers until after Question Time - that is, after 15.30. British embassies abroad do not issue such cards.
Australian and Canadian visitors may apply to the London office of their province or state as an alternative to their High Commission.
People from the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British colonies, and Commonwealth territories unrepresented in London, may apply to the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (020-7219 5378) for tickets.
If none of these arrangements is made, one may join the public queue outside St Stephen's Entrance. But a wait of 1 or 2 hours is common during the afternoons.
Attending on Fridays
It is usually fairly easy to get into the Gallery on Friday. Advance bookings for Fridays, through Members of Parliament may be made; but it is normally possible to enter the Gallery, without queuing, at the commencement of the day's proceedings. Later in the day a queue tends to develop and some delay is inevitable.
Attending in the evenings Monday to Thursday
Generally speaking, after ticket holders have left the Gallery and the afternoon queue has been cleared, there is not, except during controversial debates, too much pressure on places in the Gallery. Visitors who wish to minimise waiting times should therefore arrive at about 18.00 or later. The House sits until 22.30 or after on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday: the gallery remains open during this time. The Information Office can advise what is to be debated. NB For the remainder of this session the House will rise at 19.30 on Thursdays.
Attending meetings of Committees
Select and Standing Committees meet throughout the week, though not usually on Fridays. Places are limited and there is no system of tickets or advance booking. The Information Office can advise when and where meetings will take place. Only evidence-taking sessions of Select Committees are normally open to the public.
In all cases visitors should go to St Stephen's Entrance, whence they will be shown by the Police to a queue, or directly up to the Gallery or Committee Room as the case may be. St Stephen's Entrance is at the centre of the Palace of Westminster, opposite the east end of Westminster Abbey. Nearest Underground Station - Westminster; Buses - 3, 11, 12, 24, 53, 77A, 88, 109, 159, 184 and 511. Car parking is not available for visitors; there is, however, a NCP car park (fee) off Abingdon Street (near Victoria Tower). This is often full, and as meter parking in and around Westminster is scarce and expensive, intending visitors would be well advised to travel by public transport.
The House of Commons Information Office is often asked how visitors may tour the Palace of Westminster (Houses of Parliament). This note is intended as guidance.
1. United Kingdom residents
People who are resident in this country should get in touch with their local Member of Parliament (the House of Commons Information Office can advise who this is if there is doubt), who can usually arrange for them to take a tour. They should apply as far in advance as possible. Tours may only be undertaken when the House is not sitting; this usually means Monday and Tuesday mornings, and Friday afternoon after 3.30pm. Times vary during recesses and on non-sitting Fridays and visitors should be prepared to be flexible about their arrangements. Wednesday and Thursday mornings are also available, but the tour is confined to the Lords area of the building. The address for contacting MPs is:
House of Commons
2. Overseas Visitors
Visitors from overseas can obtain a permit to tour the Houses of Parliament by applying to the Parliamentary Education Unit of the House of Commons Information Office. When the House of Commons is sitting, this office can issue a permit which will enable a party of up to 16 in number to tour the Palace of Westminster between 3.30 - 5.30pm on a Friday afternoon, provided the House has concluded its business for the week. During recesses, the days and timing of tours may vary, but as a rule, they take place in the morning from 9.30 am - 12 noon most weekdays. Only Members of Parliament may issue permits for other sitting days.
Address to contact: Parliamentary Education Unit
House of Commons Information Office
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
3. Educational Institutions
Schools or other educational institutions based in this country should normally contact their local MP to arrange a tour of the Houses of Parliament. However, the Parliamentary Education Unit of the House of Commons Information Office arranges a series of educational visits suitable for older school children or adult education students. These take place in the autumn, but are advertised in the Times Educational Supplement in March. Teachers and others wishing to participate are advised to contact the Education Unit early. When the House of Commons is sitting, the Unit also arranges a programme of Wednesday visits during term time, which is aimed at year 8-10 pupils. Further details are available from the address above. For all other educational visits, organisers should write to their local MP as in 1 above. Parties from overseas educational institutions may also apply to the Parliamentary Education Unit, who may be able to arrange for a permit to tour in accordance with the usual restrictions (see 2 above), which apply to permits for any overseas visitor. An information leaflet, Educational Visits to Parliament, is available from the Parliamentary Education Unit on request.
The Houses of Parliament are closed at Weekends, on Bank Holidays and between the rise
Palace of Westminster: Summer Opening
The Palace of Westminster will open this summer to visitors who will be able to see the historic building, including the Chambers of both the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Visitors can book a timed guided tour by contacting Ticketmaster Tickets can be pre-booked and are available for purchase from Ticketmaster Tel: 020 7344 9966 or www.ticketmaster.co.uk. An administrative charge of £3.50 per person will be levied. For postal sales, tickets must be booked in advance to allow time for postage. Foreign language tours will be available daily at 2.15 pm (French, German, Spanish, Italian). Further information can be obtained from Ticketmaster.

Giving is part of the Christian life of St Giles-in-the-Fields. We are encouraged to give of our skills, time and money to support the work of the church and that of other charities that build God's kingdom.
St Giles-in-the-Fields helps to administer a number of charities that provide education and shelter to those in need in central London. The church also has links with the Simon Community, which supports the street community of the West End.
To find out about the charities we are supporting this year, click here
A stewardship church
The financial support that St Giles receives from its congregations and friends is vital to the work of the church: like all churches, St Giles receives no money from the state and is dependent upon voluntary contributions. These Donations and Legacies contribute to the cost of keeping the church open and allow us to achieve our mission of witnessing to the love of God through our worship, prayer and pastoral care.
The principles on which we give are proportionate – to give appropriately in proportion to our income (which differs for everyone); regular – to give even when we cannot be present; direct – to give through standing order if at all possible; and tax-efficient – to gift-aid our giving (if we pay sufficient tax). At St Giles we are working to become a 'stewardship church' where the majority of giving comes via these four principles. Like all parish (Anglican) churches, St Giles receives no money from the State and is dependent upon voluntary contributions to keep the church open and maintain the historic buildings.
In the current difficult economic climate, we understand that finding money to support the Church can be difficult. That is why we try to assist all our supporters in finding easy and affordable ways to give that also provide the maximum benefit for St Giles-in-the-Fields. The following information may help you think about the best ways of giving.
Planned giving
Under this scheme, our supporters can spread their donations to St Giles over a period of time, up to 4 years in total. By giving a small amount on a monthly basis, over a number of years, the benefit to St Giles-in-the-Fields can become significant. For example, a standing order for £25 per month for 4 years would provide St Giles with a total direct gift of £1,200 after 4 years.
Gift Aid
Gift Aid is a government scheme under which, if you are a UK taxpayer, the government will donate 25p for every £1 donated to a recognised charity. This costs you nothing extra but significantly increases the amount that we as a charity receive. In the example above, the monthly £25 gift adds up to £1,200 over 4 years, but if you donate using Gift Aid the benefit to St Giles-in-the-Fields amounts to £1,500.
If you are a Higher Rate Taxpayer, then the cost to you is even less. The standard position for a 50% taxpayer is that a £1,200 net donation is worth £1,500 to St Giles. The gross value of the gift is therefore £1,500 and the donor on a 50% tax rate is able to claim tax relief on the total donation. This is thus an extra 25% personal relief of £375. So the net cost to donor is £1,200 – £375 = £825. So a gift that effectively costs the donor £825 is worth nearly double to St Giles.
Weekly giving in church
For many, the preferred way to support the work of St Giles-in-the-Fields is to make a donation during worship. There are two ways of doing this. If you wish to give regularly but do not wish to give through your bank, you can join the envelope scheme. You will then be provided with a year's supply of dated envelopes which can be given in when you are able to attend worship. (These offerings can, of course, be increased by applying for Gift Aid). Alternatively, if you wish to give on a single occasion, simply place your gift in one of the yellow envelopes provided, complete your personal details and sign the front. In this way St Giles can receive Gift Aid on this donation.
We also believe that it is important to recognise the contribution of those who give by standing order when the offertory plate is passed during services. To this end, standing order givers can pick up one of the small laminated cards available on the sidesmen's table and place these in the plate to ensure that their gifts are also recognised.
St Giles has a long history of generous benefactors, including Queen Matilda, its founder, and Alice, Duchess Dudley. These gifts have been invaluable in making the Christian presence of St Giles possible.
If you would like to join them then you may like to consider leaving a gift in your will to benefit the work and mission of St Giles. You can contact the Parish Office for more information. You can also find information about leaving legacies to the church on the Church of England's Church Legacy website.
Giving regularly, putting something in the collection plate when we can attend, or giving a one-off donation, are all important ways of supporting the mission and ministry of a Church. At St Giles we are grateful for everyone who supports us in these ways. Yet giving financially is not the only way in which we can show our support for a Church. We can also give of our time and experience. These are just as valuable.
At St Giles we welcome all those who in any way wish to volunteer their time, skills or talents in the wider service of the Church. We can do this by serving as churchwardens, becoming active members of the PCC, taking our turn with others to set up and prepare for worship as sidesmen, and to welcome our congregations and visitors. We may be able to read one of the lessons in worship or sing in the St Giles Choir in the evening. It is also possible to offer the hospitality of refreshments after worship. Beyond these worship-centred tasks there are always other practical ways in which friends and supporters can become involved, especially if they were able to offer some time during the week or, perhaps, take up the fascinating art of bell-ringing.
We would love to hear from any who may wish, or may now be able, to volunteer their time and experience. You have only to speak to one of the clergy or churchwardens any time after worship or over refreshments. We look forward to hearing from you.
In whatever way you are able to support our life and work, we thank you.

Lovies Guitars is offering up this gorgeous 2013 Gibson Les Paul Traditional In stunning Champagne finish. The guitar has a fantastic tone. This guitar is in fantastic shape. Just a few small dings here and there. Frets show zero wear! Barely touched guitar. Includes original Hard Gibson Case and paperwork.
WEIGHS in at: 10.15lbs
.807″ at the 1st fret
.867″ at the 12th fret
1.694″ Nut Width
Serial: 128130434
A gigging musician's tool box with '60s slim-tapered neck, coil-split humbuckers and a boost circuit.
Taking design and visual cues from the Les Pauls of the '80s and '90s, the Les Paul Traditional Pro II features powerful pickups with push/push for coil splits and boost circuit, '60s neck profile, Grover locking tuners, antique binding, period-correct pickguard, vintage Gibson top hat knobs, and the revolutionary Plek set up.
With all the fat, sweet, snarling Les Paul tone that purists love, the new Gibson Les Paul Standard Traditional Pro II sports a mahogany body with a thick maple cap for the perfect blend of warmth and clarity. The top is finished in high-gloss lacquer, while the back, sides, and neck have a smooth satin finish that feels great and lets the wood resonate fully. Each Les Paul Traditional also comes with Gibson USA's standard black snakeskin case. Includes case.
Period-Correct Pickguard
The creme-colored pickguard has been a Les Paul staple dating back to the models of the late 1950s and the early 1960s. Many players, however, removed the pickguard from their Les Pauls to show off the beauty of the flame maple tops, prompting Gibson to stop installing the pickguard altogether. During the 1980s and 1990s, Gibson began reinstalling the pickguard in the factory, and the Les Pauls from this era once again arrived in stores bearing the classic, creme-colored pickguard. The Les Paul Traditional comes equipped with a period-correct pickguard, designed to protect the maple top.
Pickups: Neck – '57 Classic; Bridge – Super '57
Among the qualities that make Gibson's original "Patent Applied For" humbucking pickups so unique are the subtle variations between coil windings. For the first few years of their productionsâ1955 to 1961âGibson's PAF humbuckers were wound using imprecise machines, resulting in pickups with slightly different output and tone. The '57 Classic and Super '57 pickups are the result of Gibson's drive to capture and recreate this characteristic. Introduced in 1992, the '57 Classic at the neck provides warm, full tone with a balanced response, packing that classic Gibson PAF humbucker crunch, inspired by those original PAFs that received a few extra turns of wire. The Super '57 bridge pickup debuts in the Trad Pro with a wider frequency response and increased output.
Both are made by Gibson to the exact same specs as the original PAFs, including Alnico II magnets, nickel-plated pole pieces, nickel slugs, maple spacers, and vintage-style, 2-conductor braided wiring. Gibson added poly-coated wiring, which improves consistency by eliminating thick or thin spots on the wiring, and wax potting, which removes all internal air space and any chance of microphonic feedback.
Both pickups offer coil splitting for single-coil sounds and a boost circuit via push/push switching in the volume controls. âStraight Splitâ coil-splitting offers pure single coil tone and differs from LP Standards and Studios that have a âSuper Tapâ coil-tap, which still has a small amount of humbucking. The boost circuit has a user-adjustable 10-dB boost for added power and frequency range for solos, single-note picking and dirty chording (depending on amp settings) and features true bypass that disengages the boost completely, ensuring pure passive Les Paul tone.
Revolutionary Plek Set Up
The Les Paul Traditional is the first model from Gibson USA to utilize the revolutionary Plek machine in setting up the guitar. The Plek is a German-made, computer-controlled machine that carefully measures each fret, along with the fingerboard height under each string, and then automatically dresses each fret, virtually eliminating string buzz and greatly improving the overall playability of the guitar. This pioneering process does in minutes what it takes a luthier several hoursâsometimes even daysâto accomplish. Every fret is accurately aligned, and the guitar is properly intonated, leaving the instrument "Plek'd" and amazingly playable.
Antique Binding
To see the process of putting the binding on the Les Paul Traditional is to really appreciate the effort and attention that Gibson puts into each instrument. A lone craftsman will carefully glue and fit 2 pieces of binding around the entire body of a Les Paul. He then winds a single, very long piece of narrow cloth around the entire body until the entire surface is nearly covered. The body is then hung to dry for a full 24 hours before it is unwrapped and moved into the next phase of production. It has been done the same way for over 100 years. Some question the value of adding binding, but Gibson believes it is a fundamental part of our rich guitar-making history. The binding adds elegance to the Les Paul Standard, and helps protect the edges of the body. The neck binding is installed over the fret ends, which eliminates sharp fret edges and provides for a smooth neck and easier playability.

We are in the thick of back to school over at HerMamas. This is always a hectic but exciting time of year. One of my favorite parts is all the back to school supply shopping. I am such a sucker for school supplies! Here are some of the back to school things we are obsessing over.
Kids' Fashion (high-top sneakers): My son has really turned a corner with back to school clothes shopping. In the last year, his style has been solidified and he takes pride in dressing himself and picking out his own clothes. These days he's all about high-top sneaks with layered shirts and jeans. To kick off the school year he ended up with two pair of colorful high-top sneakers to mix-up his daily options and I think he looks adorable!
Journaling: not only is my son writing in his back-to-school planner but his teacher handed out calendar journals during the 1st day of school which he immediately began using. My kiddo loves writing in his journal and calendar planner. I'm thrilled to see what he fills his day with and how he's becoming organized through writing.
Classroom Student Roster: I can't believe how excited I was about the annual class post. My son's school lists a child's classroom, teacher and classmates two days before school begins. This night is usually pretty exciting, but we oddly missed it this year. The next morning I made the solo trek to my son's school to find this list. I was literally high-fiving myself reading names of kids I recognized and knew my son enjoyed being friends with. Then I went over the list with my son a few times and this was just the thing to get him fully pumped for back to school!
Weekly Organizer: We do a homeschool program through a local charter school and it is a lot of work. It really is a family affair and if we are not organized and have a schedule we find ourselves rushing on the day before assignments are due. When it comes to school schedules I LOVE a good free printable weekly organizer. I fill it in once a week with everything from daily assignments, blog post ideas, doctor appointments, library visits and even the daily menu. The whole family knows where the schedule is and can easily look and see what's going on that day.
Trapper Keeper: Yes they are back. Unfortunately they don't have the old school awesome pictures like a unicorn jumping over a rainbow, or kittens in a basket. They come in just plain colors, but are still awesome for keeping all my kid's work neat and organized. And don't worry, I already tweeted the company asking about getting some of the classic designs back for next year.
Boogie Board: No this is not the kind you use at the beach, these are actually LCD writing tablets. Kind of like an e-pad of paper. We use use this like we would a white board. Something that we can write on, do practice math problems, do a spelling test etc. We can do all the things we would use scratch paper for without wasting paper! A simple push of a button and the whole screen is cleared!
Are you or your kiddos back to school?
What are some of your favorite back to school items?
