Hi! I thought I'd just pop in to share with you what's been going on here this past week.
- We finally have two boys that are Croup free. Thank God! Our paediatrician told us that he was 99% sure that Co-pilot wouldn't catch Little Pilot's Croup because he's too young, but he did anyway and we have been fighting this illness for almost a month now. I am so thankful that they are both finally well.
- My sister and brother-in-law have come to visit from up north. My brother-in-law actually came here to work on our basement. I know! Too nice! Tech Guy has been busy with business stuff and has helped a little down there, but is wishing he could be doing more.
Here's a picture from my just finished mini mudroom looking down at some of the construction craziness going on. We have some insulation and framing done. I am hoping to share our basement plans soon.
Little Pilot has been even more excited to help out with his own tools. Here he is fixing the Saarinen chair.
- A post on my coat knobs went up yesterday over at Knockoff Decor.
Hopefully, this week we'll all feel a little more rested and ready to tackle some more basement renovating and DIY projects. I hope you have a great week.

Nice to hear that your boys are well now. Looking foward to see your new basement plants. Have a nice week.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm glad they're back to being themselves. Have a great week too. :)Delete
YIKES! The basement looks "scary" zone at the moment. But I'm sure you cannot wait to have it finished. Are you going to have a sauna in there or do you have one already? Looking forward to hearing more about the project and see the progress.ReplyDelete
I'm also glad that you have gotten rid of the croup. Must be a great relief.
Have a great Monday!Replies
Renos tend to look pretty scary in the beginning stages. We have a sauna planned. Tech Guy is eager to get that finished first, but we'll see. Happy Monday to you!Delete

DescriptionAfter the first mission of the Miniova Cay space program came to the attention of the World Council, their airspace was revoked, forcing them to tunnel from Nebraska to ever hope of reaching the Moon.
Hedgehog Launch 2 is much like its predecessor in terms of gameplay. You use a catapult to launch a hedgehog through the centre of the Earth and up into space with the hope of reaching the Moon, using the on-board fuel to control the direction of the hedgehog, with randomly-placed springboards that launch the hedgehog further, with the height covered by the launch used to calculate the money given to buy upgrades. Once the player has reached the Moon, they can then go further to Mars. In addition, there is a Free Play mode where the player can send the hedgehog as high as they can.

At Kingston Heath Primary School we have an uninterrupted Literacy block each day with activities appropriate for all abilities. The school also offers a wide number of programs to assist students to become confident, literate students.
We have a whole school approach to Teaching Handwriting, Reading and Spelling Strategies. It is a method for teaching learners of all ages about the building blocks of reading and spelling, that is, the 44 speech sounds of spoken English and the spelling choices for written English.
Seven Steps to Writing Success
Another whole school approach is undertaken through the Seven Steps to Writing Success program which provides strategies to improve students' writing skills AND get them engaged in writing. The seven steps to writing success are: Step 1: Plan for Success Step 2: Sizzling Starts Step 3: Tightening Tension Step 4: Dynamic Dialogue Step 5: Show, Don't Tell Step 6: Ban the Boring Bits Step 7: Exciting Endings
C.A.R.S. and S.T.A.R.S.
C.A.R.S. (Comprehensive Assessment of Reading Strategies) and S.T.A.R.S. (Strategies to Achieve Reading Success) forms an important part of our literacy program for students from Year 2 to Year 6. C.A.R.S. and S.T.A.R.S. is a structured and sequenced resource to improve reading comprehension and strategies in all children. The heart of the C.A.R.S. and S.T.A.R.S. system are the twelve reading strategies grouped under the areas of:
- Reading the text: E.g. finding the main idea
- Reading between the line: E.g. making predictions
- Reading Beyond the text: E.g. distinguishing between fact and opinion
Teachers follow three steps to implement C.A.R.S. and S.T.A.R.S. It diagnoses each childfor reading strengths and areas for improvement in reading. It teaches to the identified areas for improvement in relation to the twelve reading strategies. It assesses students' progress and assists students to set new personal learning goals. It encourages higher order thinking skills.
We use the Letterland program in Level 1 to introduce children to the alphabet. Letterland teaches all 44 letter sounds in the English language – not just the sounds of the alphabet – through stories rather than rules. A fun way to learn!
Fountas and Pinnell
Fountas and Pinnell's products and teachings are rooted in the work of Marie Clay whose meticulous study of the complexity of the reading process, through detailed coding of thousands of readings, showed that when a text is too difficult for the child the process breaks down and the child does not develop inner control of effective actions for processing texts. When the text poses enough challenge, but not too much, the child has opportunities with effective, explicit teaching to build his network of effective problem solving actions. Fountas and Pinnell's goal is to support the child's development of self-initiating actions he will be able to apply to a range of texts of similar difficulty. With daily teaching, the teacher helps the child climb the ladder of text difficulty with success. The goal of guided reading is to bring the child to the level of complex texts appropriate for the grade, in doing so, teaching must begin with where the child is able to engage with some success, so that there is a point of contact, thereby engaging the child's development of a self-extending system for processing texts.
Reading Eggs
The Reading Eggs (P-2) and Reading Eggspress (3-6) Program is used school-wide. The website supports each child's individual reading journey with online reading games, comprehension tasks and activities that are easy to follow and are self-paced.
Cued Articulation
Cued Articulation is implemented in the Junior school to reinforce letter names and letter sounds, using all cuing systems:
- seeing
- hearing
- doing
- saying

Ten Second Review
Fiat is aiming to build its 500 citycar's fashion following with a trendy mid-range 'Colour Therapy' trim level that takes this model back to its retro roots.
Fiat's 500 citycar was one of the first cars in its segment to realise that not all urban runabouts are bought for purely practical reasons. Along with the MINI, this Italian town tot recognised that being fashionable was as important to many customers as being frugal. And fashion consciousness is at the heart of the mid-range 'Colour Therapy' trim level we're looking at here. An appealing range of colours and some carefully chosen equipment features will, the UK importers hope, make this version of their enduringly popular 500 difficult to resist in the showroom. It'll help that the clever 0.9-litre TwinAir petrol engine can be specified in this form and that buyers will be able to choose between fixed-top and '500C' convertible bodystyles.
Driving Experience
There are no mechanical changes with the 'Colour Therapy' tweaks. None were needed. Fiat has latterly built a reputation for having a wide range of excellent powerplants, especially at the smaller end of the product portfolio. But none is clever than the 0.9-litre 85bhp two cylinder TwinAir petrol unit that 500 buyers increasingly gravitate towards, slotting as it does above the more conventional 69bhp petrol 1.2 engine on offer. There's also a 95bhp JTDm diesel. Five or six speed manual transmissions are offered and the 500 has been designed to replicate the original car's nimble feel and ability to put a smile on its driver's face. Much of the underpinnings are based on Panda running gear - no bad thing as the Panda is a fun steer. Like the Panda, the 500 uses simple MacPherson strut suspension up front and a basic torsion beam at the back. A few centimetres have been added to the width of the car's track, giving it a foursquare appearance and Fiat claims that body rigidity is around 10 per cent better than the Panda.
Design and Build
When you create a design as clever and space-efficient as this one, you only need to gild the lilly with clever colour choice. Which is exactly the thinking behind this 'Colour Therapy' line-up. Look beyond the paintwork and you'll find a car that's smaller than a MINI outside but bigger inside. How do they do that? As ever, delicious design details drip from the 500. It's like a tiny pearl, especially when the ivory finish interior is specified. There's a very well-judged blend of retro chic and ruthlessly modern contemporary design inside, with circular head restraints, a glass roof and iconic 500 badging on the Panda-sourced dashboard. The 500C convertible is a further option. Chrome-ringed vents and a fascia that can be specified in the same colour as the body are just some of the interior design features. The exterior treatment is cool and clean with only the front grille and door handles differing significantly from the original Trepiuno show car that inspired this design. Hats off to Fiat in this regard. So often we see cars that look fantastic as prototypes on a show stand only to arrive in production form virtually unrecognisable.
Market and Model
Positioned between the highly popular 500 Pop and Lounge specifications, prices for Colour Therapy models sit mainly in the £11,000 to £15,000 bracket. For this trim, you'll pay £800 more than you would for the entry-level Pop, but it adds more than £1000 worth of extra equipment. Available in both hatchback and convertible versions, and with 0.9-litre TwinAir and 1.2-litre petrol engines, the Colour Therapy models come in five special paint colours: New Age Cream, Countrypolitan Yellow, Pasodoble Red, Volare Blue, and Tech House Grey. Distinguishing white details, coupled with the solid colours of the exterior, aim to give the car a distinctive and unique personality, while emphasising its huge appeal - well over 100,000 examples have been sold since the Fiat 500's launch in the UK in 2008. Equipment runs to air conditioning, special paint, white mirror covers, white wheel covers, a 'poolball' design gear knob and specific key cover as standard.
Cost of Ownership
All 500 models are frugal. The Multijet diesel version will average over 65mpg, with the 1.2-litre TwinAir petrol unit able to increase that to about 69mpg. As well as incurring zero road tax costs due to its 95g/km emissions, the 500 TwinAir is also exempt from London congestion charge fees. It's probably not the sort of car we'd recommend to those covering higher mileages but it works extremely effectively in traffic, its Start&Stop system making queuing a curiously serene experience. Depreciation won't be anything like at MINI levels but will be much better than you'd expect on a Fiat Panda. Which is good news since insurance costs shouldn't be much more expensive.

Thank ou Ginny, you always make me feel better. I just feel like every time I come here I'm telling you all that they want to do this test and that test it makes me feel like I'm making it up or somthing.I think to myself you guys must think i'm a hypocondriac. I just can't imagine all these doctors wanting to disect me. I'm sorry you had to go thru all those tests but at least I know it's all part of the process and I am not alone in this.
As for being back in the hospital I can happily say no I am home in my jammies but on lots of antibiotics. The doctor said my lungs don't sound real bad so hopfully this will catch it before it becomes full blown again. One thing did surprise me though he didn't do an xray. They have a machine right there so I think I would have felt better had he done one.
Oh and the lady that was suppposed to come to my house to discuss home health care is off work sick! They don't expect her back until after christmas. I do have some very good friends that want me to move in with them for the winter so they can help take care of me. I am considering it but I really don't want to be a burden and even though we are close the best way to loose a friend is to live with them. So I am torn between what to do.
anyway that's how things stand right now. Thanks again for answering me I really love hearing from you you always give me a different perspective on things.
love ya

MacKenzie, Selkirk,
Sir Alexander McKenzie
Chapter V - The Ascent of the Great
ALL readers of
Mackenzie's journal experience great disappointment as they reach
his account of his nearest approach to the Arctic Sea. The rise of
the sea tide was surely a certain indication to him that he was near
the ocean. The appearance of ice-fields, seen by him from the
heights of the islands among which he passed, suggested to him the
frozen surface of the Arctic Sea. For some reason he turned back,
having only reached the delta of the great river which he had been
descending. Why did he do this?
Not a reflection of
regret do we find, nor is any indication given that he considered
his northward journey ended, save for his erection of the post on
which his name was engraved. An unobservant reader would suppose as
he describes his journey among the islands of the delta that he was
following the same course down stream as lie had been pursuing for
the preceding six weeks.
However, closer
attention will show that on July 16th, after discussing with the
Indian guide the possibility of the party meeting with friendly
Indians, who might inform them further of the route, Mackenzie
received the information that he would not likely meet them unless
it were at a small river coning from the east -which fell into the
great one. The journal says: "We accordingly made for the river, and
stemmed the current." Here is the first indication that the explorer
had given up his journey, and was now ascending the river.
The delta of the
great river had been full of interest for the whole party. One day
Mackenzie's men saw a great many animals in the water which they had
thought at first were pieces of ice. These they found to be whales,
and the party took to their boats in hot pursuit. The prey, however,
evaded the pursuers, and it was well. As the explorer says, "it was
a very fortunate circumstance that we failed in our attempt to
overtake them, as a stroke from the tail of one of these enormous
fish would have dashed the canoe to pieces."
Before getting; back
from this vain expedition a fierce north-east wind arose, and a
heavy fog fell; the waters rose in violence, and the party reached
the land with the greatest difficulty. The only satisfactory course
seemed to be to keep in the lee of the islands, which, as already
mentioned, lie called the Whale Islands, on the greatest of which he
had encamped.
We are thus left to
infer the reasons for his hasty return, which the explorer seems to
attempt so ingeniously to gloss over. The Indians had found it
difficult to obtain much game, the party had not more than five
hundred pounds of food supply on hand, and the prospect of facing an
Arctic winter with its decreasing amount of game was, even to so
brave a man as Alexander Mackenzie, sufficiently alarming. The
islands on which they had encamped were exposed to the winds off the
icefields, and they here found the weather at the season which
elsewhere would be the middle of summer, most severe. The entry in
the journal for July 15th is: "As the evening approached the wind
increased, and the weather became cold. Two swans were the only
provision which the hunters procured for us."
Moreover, there are
constant indications that the guide wished to return homeward, and
the "English chief " after reaching the lower portions of the river
gave evidence very clearly that he would prefer to be back in his
own region of Athabaska. Certainly the ice on the lower part of the
river suggested that the short summer would soon be over, and
pointed to the necessity of hastening southward. Mackenzie's
reticence in regard to the reason for his sudden departure southward
is undoubtedly very remarkable.
One remark alone in
the later part of his voyage may give a clue to his course of
action. On August 13th, nearly a month after the return voyage was
begun, the feeling of distrust between the "English chief" and the
commander showed itself very clearly. After giving an account of the
altercation, Mackenzie, in the journal, says: "I stated to bun that
I had corrie a great way, and at a very considerable expense,
without having completed the object of my wishes, and that I
suspected he had concealed from inc a principal part of what the
natives had told him respecting the country, lest he should have
been obliged to follow me." Here, then, seems the explanation that a
cabal had been made against Mackenzie by reason of which he could
not obtain the necessary information to enable him to proceed. It
would have been more satisfactory to us if the explorer, who had so
nearly accomplished his object, had taken us into his confidence.
On the day of their
return southward Mackenzie records seeing the first spruce tree that
had been in view for some time. He makes the remark that it is
extraordinary that there should be any wood whatever in a country
where the ground never thaws below five inches from the surface. But
as the ascent of the river was made the weather became pleasant, and
the evidences of animal life in the flocks of wild fowl and their
young became more frequent.
Numbers of the
natives, not seen on the way down the river and who were strange to
the ways of white men, were now met. "They were alarmed at the
firearms in our hands, and asked us not to discharge them in their
presence." When they saw the explorer engaged in writing, their
curiosity was excited. 'Through the medium of the "English chief"
Mackenzie ascertained that these Indians had learned from the
Eskimos, whom they had met, that they had seen large canoes (ships)
full of white men, to the westward, eight or ten winters before,
from whom they had obtained iron in exchange for leather. The
expanse of water where they had met them was called by them
Belboullay Toe or White Man's Lake.
On July 24th the
exploring party passed a small river, on each side of which the
Indians and Eskimos collected flint. The bank was crumbling away in
places, and among the debris were found pieces of petroleum, having
the appearance of yellow wax. A few days more brought the returning
travellers to the zone of huckle-berries, raspberries, and that
fruit widespread throughout the fur trader's country, the Saskatoon
berry, known to the French-Canadians as poire.
Fifteen days after
the return journey was begun Mackenzie's party reached the entrance
of the rushing stream running into the great river from Great Bear
Lake. Being now the first day of the month of August the explorers
passed here the first night, since leaving Lake Athabaska, in which
it was dark enough to see the stars. As the party came to this
precipitous part of the river they were compelled to take to the
shore, and, walking along it, to use their towing lines to drag the
canoes up the stream. At times on the banks of the river, at this
point, their attention was called to the whole bank giving off a
sulphurous smell. The source of this odour proved to be a seam of
coal which had been on fire for years.
About August 11th
Mackenzie began to find the "English chief" restless and moody. The
wily leader seems to have been afraid that the explorer would leave
the great river, and explore some of the larger tributaries coming
into it from the east. The "English chief" had told some of the
French-Canadians that he intended before the party reached Slave
Lake to leave them, and make a visit to a tribe of Indians, whom he
It was at this
juncture that the "English chief" drew upon himself the reproaches
of Mackenzie, to which reference has been made. When rebuked the
"English chief" denied the charges made by the explorer, stated that
he would not accompany the party any further, and after the Indian
fashion gave way to a loud and bitter lamentation, in which his
relatives assisted him in their vociferations of grief, though they
gave as their excuse that their tears flowed for their dead friends.
Mackenzie, after two hours of this extravagant sorrow, soothed their
wounded feelings, and the chief returned to his allegiance.
On August 22nd the
party was rejoiced at reach-in; Great Slave Lake; here, making use
of sails on their canoes, they greatly hastened their speed. Two
days afterwards the worried explorer was rejoiced to meet his trader
Leroux, whom the had left on the lake to pursue the fur trade.
Leroux had not succeeded very well, but had visited a band of
Indians on Martin Lake, and obtained a number of peltries. While on
Great Slave Lake Mackenzie matured a plan for sending Leroux, under
the guidance of the "English chief" to visit the Beaver Indians,
whose country lay to the west. When he reached Leroux' house, which
had been built at the mouth of Yellow Knife River, and which
afterwards became known as Fort Providence, he tells us "he spent
the whole night making the necessary arrangements for the
embarkation of the morning, and in preparing instructions for Leroux."
Leaving his faithful
trader Leroux, whose name as a pioneer has ever since been
associated with Great Slave Lake, Mackenzie and his party struck
across the lake, and after a somewhat stormy passage arrived at the
entrance of the river running from the south into Slave Lake, at
which point Leroux' first house for trading had been built. The
ascent of the river—the Slave—had now to be made, and its rapids and
fierce eddies required skill in his canoemen, 'though the effort of
the ascent was not, on the whole, more arduous than that of the
descent had been.
To face the
well-known portages gave some variety and excitement to the sturdy
French-Canadians, who had gone the whole journey without a murmur,
and who had the greatest confidence in L'ecossais, commanding and
imperative as he was to them and to all. Ten days sufficed to
traverse the distance of something more than two hundred and sixty
miles, and the fact that on the day before their arrival at Lake
Athabaska " it froze hard during the night, and was very cold
throughout the day," showed llo`v fortunate the party was in
reaching its destination at the very spot where they had encamped on
June 3rd.
The last entry of the journal is as follows September 12th, 1789.
"The weather was cloudy, and also very cold. At eight we embarked
with a northeast wind, and entered the Lake of the Hills. About ten
the wind veered to the westward, and was as strong as we could bear
it with the high sail, so that we arrived at Fort Chipewyan by three
in the afternoon, where we found Mr. McLeod with five men busily
employed in building a new house. Thus, then, we concluded this
voyage, -which had occupied the considerable space of one hundred
and two days."
The results of this
great journey of Alexander Mackenzie down La Grande Riviere are
worthy of consideration:-
1. There was opened
up to the knowledge of the world a region some two thousand miles in
length, with resources of coal, petroleum, salt, and furs that are
only now beginning to be fully known.
2. Mackenzie, from
conference with the Indians met on the lower Mackenzie River,
established the existence and course of the Yukon River more
correctly than it was laid down on the maps for two generations
following his time. He made out that the Yukon emptied into Norton
Sound rather than into the Arctic Sea, as some early maps give it.
3. The great
explorer, though of a commanding spirit, adopted in treating the
Indians the pacific measures which have always been successful with
them, and began the policy which was consistently followed by the
Hudson's Bay Company during the century just closed.
4. While the daring
leader took with him a certain quantity of provisions, leaving at
Ile a la Cache a small supply of pemmican for his return journey,
yet in the main lie adopted the policy afterwards followed by the
Arctic explorer, Dr. John Rae, on his great journey tip the west
coast of Hudson Bay in search of Franklin, viz., of depending on the
game and fish that might be secured along the line of exploration.
Mackenzie's journal gives minute accounts' of the number of ducks,
geese, swans, beavers, reindeer, and fish obtained en route.
5. The explorer
gathered much useful knowledge from Indian and Eskimo hearsay and
experience, which led him to infer from their story of Belboullay
Toe or White Man's Lake (or Sea) that they were speaking of the
great Pacific Ocean, and referred to Spanish expeditions or perhaps
to the voyage of the celebrated Captain Cook up the west coast of
America some ten or eleven years before.
Mackenzie, by his
determined courage, reticence, and prudence, by his shrewdness and
intelligence, and by his consummate leadership, added not only to
the sum total of British Heroism, but also on this voyage secured
the experience and laid the foundation for the greater expedition by
which he was to gain his chief fame as being the first white man
north of Mexico to cross the continent to the Pacific Ocean.

William Morris' Willow pattern might appear to us ad the epitome of British chintz. But behind this apparent comfort, there is another story. One of politics, science fiction and the possibility of imagining other kinds of world. Can we 'read' Morris' pattern as part of both his politics and of his interest in design as a point between history and the future.
Blurred Willow is a wallpaper that reclaims Morris from the world of chintz, instead setting it as a form of political fiction that is part sci-fi (like his time travelling novel News From Nowhere) and part scenographic political statement, as if its image of foliage was the fulfilment of his desire to disrupt the structures of Victorian society.

I was hipped to Michael Kiwanuka in Paris a couple of weeks back with only the caveat of "you're going to fucking love this." It's true, I do. I'll spare you the laundry list of influences only to say that it's about time someone picked up the torch from Terry Callier and Bill Withers. Highly recommended.

More than half the schools in the state at the epicentre of Nigeria's conflict with Islamist militant group Boko Haram are still closed, the United Nations' children agency said on Friday, as the insurgency drags into its ninth year.
The lack of schools could continue to fuel Boko Haram or similar movements in the future as it means young people in the restive northeast region have few prospects, experts say.
The conflict with Boko Haram, whose name roughly translates as "Western education is forbidden" in the Hausa language that is widely spoken in northern Nigeria, has killed more than 20,000 people since 2009.
It has embroiled the region in one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, with at least 10.7 million people in need of assistance, according to the United Nations.
"In addition to devastating malnutrition, violence and an outbreak of cholera, the attacks on schools are in danger of creating a lost generation of children, threatening their and the countries' future," Justin Forsyth, a deputy director for the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), said in a statement.
More than 57 percent of schools are shut in Borno state, where most of the conflict and resulting crisis have taken place, as the new academic year begins, the statement said.
More than 2,295 teachers have been killed, at least 19,000 displaced and almost 1,400 schools destroyed, UNICEF said.
Forsyth later said in an interview that three million children in the northeast required some form of education, adding that some attended rudimentary schools.
He said Borno state government had returned about 750,000 children to school, but gave no details about the period of time over which they returned.
On the issue of educating children who had been recruited to fight in the conflict, Forsyth said military and state government officials had agreed to the release of 600 children and mothers next week.
"This is also a process of rehabilitation because these children have been traumatised," he said.
Despite aid agencies' efforts to set up schools for children in the northeast, particularly those displaced by the insurgency, UNICEF said it has only received three-fifths of the total funding it needs for 2017.
Combined with climate change taking its toll in recent years on farming, a mainstay of the region, the lack of schooling has left many without job opportunities. (Reporting by Paul Carsten and Lanre Ola in Maiduguri, editing by Larry King and Gareth Jones).

The rear sheet is painted matt black, and the front spaced out from the rear sheet by 12mm using dowels and painted in sunset colours. The back sheet is also slightly larger to give it the appearance of a black 3-D frame around it. The idea is of a Bell UH-1H 'Huey' Iroquois helicopter coming out of the sun, but sort of back-to-front.
I am very proud of the result, and it now hangs as the feature picture on my lounge room wall. Some friends who have seen it, initially thought it was just a painting until I told them to look a bit more closely at it. The look of realisation and surprise is magic.
I have been thinking about the idea of creating a second one and seeing what I could sell it for, but am not sure if I could sell it for enough to cover my time and effort. Other emotions such as modesty and fear of rejection have also stood as a barrier so far. It is one thing to create something for ones own benefit and joy. It is another to create something to sell for profit.

Pro Wakeboard Tour 2010: Harley Clifford Wins In Acworth
The top wakeboarders of the world took to the water in Acworth, Georgia for the 2010 Pro Wakeboard Tour. After several rounds of elimination, Harley Clifford was left standing as Acworth's winner.
Harley Clifford was declared event winner at the MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard tour stop in Acworth, Georgia. Tons of fans showed up to witness the Pro Men compete in the Finals.
The Pro Men started the final day of competition with the Quarterfinals with only 20 riders remaining. Two out of the four riders in each of the five heats advanced to the semifinals.
In the semifinals, the field was decreased from 10 riders to just 6, who would participate in the final round. Austin Hair advanced to the Pro Tour finals for the first time, after sending both Danny Harf and Shaun Murray packing.
The six riders in the Finals were Austin Hair, Adam Errington, Rusty Malinoski, Phillip Soven, JD Webb and Harley Clifford. Since the skill level in the final heat was so high, riders had no choice but to give their all in attempt to win the first Pro Tour stop of the 2010 season.
Aussie Phenom Harley Clifford, the current defending Pro Tour titlist, took that notion to the next level during his final run, landing a handle pass KGB 540 – the first ever in a contest.
Harley Clifford's impressive run launched him clearly into first place in the Pro Men's finals and he has now assumed the lead in the Pro Tour standings. Rusty Malinoski took second place and Phillip Soven landed in third.
"I'm stoked," said Clifford. "Sticking the KGB 5 and winning the first Pro Tour stop in the same day is just unreal."
After an exciting event in Acworth, the MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour is off to Fort Worth, Texas for its next tour stop, which will be held from June 10-12, 2010.

Ethiopia holidays
Ethiopia enjoys a mild climate, with average temperatures below 20°C in the highlands. This number can rise past 30°C on the lowland fringes of eastern, southern and western Ethiopia.
Generally the best time to visit is between October and June, when it is the dry season. Rains tend to stop in early October, meaning afterwards the highlands are lush and green – perfect for trekking amongst pretty wildflowers that have sprung up. Be sure to bring a sweater all year round due to Ethiopia's elevation.
If you'd like to visit during a festival, Ethiopia hosts some jubilant celebrations – from the Timkat festival in January, celebrated by orthodox Christians to the Hidar Tsion; a pilgrimage to Axum by Ethiopians from all over the country.
The below climate charts have been compiled by Weather2Travel.com. For an explanation to the various measurements, please read our climate notes.
The higher the level of heat and humidity the more uncomfortable you are likely to feel. Humidity is not an issue at temperatures below about 24C (75F), no matter how high the humidity.
The World Health Organisation recommends protective measures be taken for all UV values over 2.

Joint Nature Conservation Committee
Tay Bay is known to support large numbers of inshore waterbirds over the winter period. The intertidal areas of the Firth of Tay and Eden Estuary are included within an existing terrestrial Special Protection Area (SPA), while the inshore areas of the Firth of Tay and Eden Estuary comprise a marine Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The area is also designated as a Ramsar site under the International Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, especially as habitat for waterfowl. However, the current SPA and Ramsar site do not extend beyond the low water mark.
This report describes analyses of data from boat and aerial surveys of inshore waterbirds conducted in the Tay Bay area. The numbers of red-throated diver (Gavia stellata), common eider (Somateria mollissima), common scoter (Melanitta nigra), velvet scoter (Melanitta fusca), long-tailed duck (Clangula hyemalis), red-breasted merganser (Mergus serrator), and little gulls (Larus minutus) using the waters of Tay Bay were analysed and assessed against the appropriate Stage 1 guideline thresholds, to determine whether the area or part of it might meet the site selection requirements under Stage 1 of the UK Site Selection Guidelines, as an SPA under the EU Birds Directive (79/409/EEC). Species distributions using the raw count data are presented here; detailed spatial analyses of bird distributions to define boundary location options for any potential SPA may be conducted in the future.

I would love to visit your school and talk with your students about reading. I also do workshops where students can add to the lessons taught in the classroom about writing a story. My programs are listed below, but I am open to whatever teachers would like for me to do.
Fun With Reading (Pre-K-2)
We play a game. I start by asking three questions about an animal, and the students guess the animal. Then students take turns asking three questions and letting other students guess what it is. My armadillo hand puppet and I read from my picture book, FRANKIE'S PERFECT HOME.
How to Write a Story (3-5)
Students talk about their favorite ways to travel: car, airplane, train, ship, bus. I tell them about my mother's journey on an Orphan Train. We look at the steps I used to write her story. Students will receive a fun wordhunt. Q/A
Research is Fun (6-8)
We discuss researching for accurate information using my award winning YA historical novel, CAVES, CANNONS, AND CRINOLINES. We'll also see what research is necessary for a contemporary novel and how writing it differs from writing a historical story. Bookmarks will be given to the students. Q/A
If you prefer a workshop where the students write their stories, I'm happy to do that.
Workshops (3-5 and 6-8)
Using Vision Boarding, students will develop ideas for a short story. Q/A
I also speak at libraries, book fairs and conferences.
To learn more, leave a comment below, or email me at Beverlysmcclure (at) aol (dot) com. I'll be happy to send you my brochure.
I'm now scheduling for fall, 2014, and spring, 2015, and beyond.

Columbus Day marks not only the "discovery" of this continent but the beginning of the conflict between native and European America. While history books record this battle as an era of the past, for the Gwich'in Indians of northeast Alaska, the war is still going on.
For 10 years now the Gwich'in have been fighting a proposal in Congress to conduct exploratory drilling in the nearby Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), the calving ground for the cherished porcupine caribou herd. Hunting caribou has been central to the Gwich'in culture for 10,000 years. To damage the herd would devastate the Gwich'in culture.
Feasibility studies for drilling in the refuge, an area larger than West Virginia, started in the mid-1980s. Congress proposed to open it to drilling in 1995, but President Clinton vetoed it. The proposal awaits a final resolution, maybe with the next president. For that time the Gwich'in anxiously await.
This is a classic conflict of short-term economic prospects versus long-term cultural survival. Corporations, in their pursuit of profits, bump up against native cultures - or spotted owls or marbled murrelets - and most often, the corporations win.
Is this kind of "progress" inevitable? Do we have to watch as our lawmakers open this area to exploratory drilling when the largest price will be paid by this native community? If the US government sides - as it historically has - with corporate interests, then the Gwich'in community will become another statistic.
It's not a black-and-white issue. Oil could bring jobs to the economically depressed Arctic Village, which is 90 percent Gwich'in and has an unemployment rate of 55 percent.
It could be argued that because the Gwich'in already depend to some degree on a wage economy, drilling would simply make their lives easier. Their diet, based on caribou, is supplemented in the winter with store-bought goods. And because all goods must be flown in, prices in the Village are exorbitant. An 18-ounce jar of strawberry jam costs more than $5, and a 20-ounce box of Cheerios costs nearly $8.
A study I conducted in the community on behalf of the National Endowment for the Humanities this past summer confirms that traditional subsistence, and its central reliance on the caribou, continues, despite the use of modern technology. I found that over half of all household food comes from the land. Indeed, nearly 90 percent of the households had at least one member go caribou hunting last year. The animal is consumed virtually in its entirety. And yet, despite the promise of wage-labor jobs that oil drilling in ANWR could bring to the region, residents there are skeptical.
"They told us [once before] that oil drilling would make us rich, when they opened Prudhoe Bay," says resident Louie John. "But it didn't help us. Everything just skyrocketed [in price] after they built the oil pipeline."
Indeed, if anything, Gwich'in dependence on the caribou has intensified, rather than declined, in recent years. "Without money, how can we buy what's in the store?" asks resident Joel Tritt. "Out there," he says, pointing to the nearby mountains, "the food is free. All we have to do is go get it."
Thus, the issue of job creation is at best, a red herring. As is often the case in indigenous communities, the employment "carrot" dangled before the Gwich'in is connected to a very big "stick." Give up your traditional lands, resources, and livelihoods, goes the argument, and you can make lots of money in industry.
And yet, the hole in the argument is a simple one: The Gwich'in lack the skills and education necessary to make the shift to most wage-labor positions. Many in the community simply have no desire to do such work - particularly if it comes at a cost of their very cultural survival.
The issue of the caribou is bigger than economics, for Gwich'in culture centers on the animal as well. The meat, for example, is rich in fat and protein, essential for a people that braves 50 degrees below zero temperatures. No potlatch or other celebration is complete without a variety of caribou dishes available. Similarly, the hides, antlers, and other animal parts are used to make a variety of traditional items and clothing.
The next president has an opportunity to look beyond the immediate corporate, economic, and political gain of drilling in ANWR to the long-term benefit of cultural diversity. While past injustices to American Indians can't be undone, the threat to this culture can be stopped. If the Gwich'in culture disappears under our watch, we won't have Columbus to blame.

Italy coach Cesare Prandelli has backed Mario Balotelli to recover from his goalless spell and improve as a player.
The striker has not scored for Milan in his last five games and was named on the bench by Massimiliano Allegri for the club's trip to Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League.
Speaking ahead of friendlies against Germany and Nigeria on Friday and Tuesday respectively, Prandelli feels Balotelli has what it takes to come through his poor run of form.
"Great champions have to make their team win," he said. "They have something more to give but they have to be included in the game plan. You have to arrive to games mentally prepared. Mario is going through a strange and delicate time, but if one has character, then you can gain more strength from this.
"He knows how to play football, he just has to get his confidence back."
Prandelli also explained he has not yet decided who will form his squad for the FIFA World Cup next year.
The 56-year-old has 35 players currently in line for selection and has left the door open for in-form players to force their way into the squad for Brazil.
"There are places available," he said. "Many players are motivated, they want to prove that they can be a part of such a group. I have in my mind 35 players so nothing is definite."

Fears of retribution as excuse for continued APRC support are without basis
According to several sources, key members of the GDC have been quoted expressing concern in the event of a UDP-led opposition coalition victory over Jammeh and his ruling APRC. They fear retribution in the event of a UDP-led win in December - a fear that has its origins in the anti-UDP propaganda machine of a dictatorship that has tried to exploit the delicate tribal balance to his advantage. As part of his intricate plan to cling on to power, Jammeh unfairly and incorrectly labeled UDP a Mandinka party and proceeded to accuse its members, a good number of whom are non-Mamdinkas, of being tribalists who are driven more by the desire to exact revenge should the UDP ever gain political power.
The fear of retribution or settling of scores in the event of a UDP victory is without basis and runs contrary to the national character. That said, a Truth and Reconciliation Commission or something along those lines must be established in addition to Judicial Commission to look into the crimes committed by Yaya Jammeh and members of his regime spanning the 22 years of the dictatorship unless Jammeh can reach a negotiated safe passage as part of a negotiated settlement package.
The general sense today is there must be justice for the thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of victims of the regime to obtain closure for those who have been killed, maimed, tortured and those who have disappeared and still unaccounted for. Families must have closure.
Because most, if not all, of GDC support base is presumed to be composed of disgruntled members of the APRC, reportedly disenchanted with Jammeh's style of leadership, they find solace in the Mamma Kandeh-led GDC who logged a 20-year stint in the National Assembly under the APRC banner before his expulsion from the party. It appears, at least, some elements within the former APRC members in the GDC, are trying to associate a UDP-led opposition successor government to the inevitability of the settling of scores demanded by the accumulation of grudges during Jammeh's dictatorship despite the lack of evidence.
As we have stated in previous blogs on the issue of tribalism and despite Jammeh accusing the UDP of being a tribal party, The Gambia is still one of the few countries where tribal affiliation plays little or no significant role, either in the daily lives of Gambians or their politics. Of course, there are few odd balls - the crazy uncle syndrome - everywhere, and The Gambia is no exception. Jammeh is the exception. He has adopted tribal politics and has used it, with minimal degree of success, to divide Gambians for the purposes of retaining power.
It is obvious that there are members of the APRC who are utilizing the tribal card in a futile attempt to divide an emboldened opposition both at home and abroad. Leaders of the GDC must be mindful of this fact and to guard against being used to advance a failed ARPC regime that is on its final death throes.
Our advise to Mamma Kandeh, Yusupha Jaiteh and the rest of the executive of the GDC is to hop on board the opposition train while it is still on the station. Only a unified opposition can defeat Jammeh.

Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) says she received death threats about gun legislation introduced last week.
"They said they were going to kill me," Maloney said, according to the New York Daily News.
Maloney introduced new legislation on Friday that would require gun owners to have liability insurance. The congresswoman from New York said it's "not unusual to have calls saying they don't like the bill. You get calls in support and opposition."
The three calls, received by staffers and an intern on Tuesday, shook Maloney so much that she said she skipped a dinner event that night.
"I couldn't go," Maloney said. "Who knows what could happen?"
New York police have begun investigating the threats, and officers were posted at her Manhattan home, Maloney told the newspaper.
"You have to take these things seriously," Maloney said.
In Congress, lawmakers are working to pass new laws to prevent gun massacres like the one at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in December that resulted in the deaths of 20 children. Since then President Obama and congressional lawmakers have called for federal action to reduce gun violence.
