I woke to the sound of the town clock ringing. Slowly, I opened my eyes and rubbed them to clear my vision. Sunlight shafted in through the window above my bed, bathing my small room in a pleasant glow. I sat up and smiled, breathing in and exhaling loudly. I was afraid it was going to be rainy today. I can't stand rainy days (though we certainly have a lot of them in England). I hopped out of bed and walked up to my wardrobe, glancing at the framed photo that sat on top.
It's been ages, I thought to myself, rummaging about my wardrobe for my white collared shirt. I hadn't been to my aunt and uncle's since I started secondary school a few years ago.
I've grown up a lot since then… I think…
I tightened the bow on the back of the brown pinafore dress I had put on, recalling that I had worn it to a party when I was twelve.
… maybe not that much.
My aunt and uncle, you see — why we don't have a collective term for the two, I'll never understand — they live in the Cotswolds. They're rather well-off, and they own a beautiful villa in a small town just south of Gloucester. I was about to stay the summer with them, and was rather excited about it.
I tied two white ribbons into my hair on either side, just under my ears, letting the honey-coloured locks fall over my shoulders. I put on my shoes (Mary Janes, to be exact. I've always been fond of them, since that's my name — Mary) and grabbed my suitcase, stuffing my sketchbook and some half-finished drawings inside.
On my way out the door, I stopped and looked in the mirror. I straightened my posture, standing as tall as I could.
Mm… I thought, slouching a bit as I raised one hand to my chin. Maybe it needs something…
As I turned towards my wardrobe, I noticed the sweet smell of food being made. Forgetting my task, I pranced down the stairs to the kitchen where my mother was cooking breakfast.
"Good morning, Mum!" I said, putting my suitcase down and taking a seat at the wicker table.
"Good morning, dearest," she replied, placing some tea, porridge, toast, and jam on the table for myself and her. My porridge was filled with banana slices. She knew me well. She sat down opposite me.
"Do you have everything you need?" she asked.
"Yes, mother," I responded, with a tinge of impatience.
"Do you have money for the train?"
I froze, and my eyes widened.
"O-of course I do," I said. "I just remembered, I-I need to make my bed!"
I dashed back upstairs and grabbed my handbag, checking to make sure the money was inside. I remained in my room a moment longer, so as not to cause suspicion, before running back downstairs. I sat at the table just long enough to scarf down my porridge, then took a piece of toast with strawberry jam and held it in my mouth while I picked up my belongings.
"Be safe! Call me as soon as you can," said Mum.
"Mhm!" I mumbled as I went out the door. The clamour of the city streets filled my ears as I skipped down the pavement, toast in hand. The town my relatives lived in was a market town quite like mine, though theirs was much smaller. I grinned as I recalled the bakery where my cousin and I had bought some pastries one day. Maybe this time I can afford to buy the — wait! I stopped in my tracks, my eyes widening once again. I dropped my suitcase with a clatter and darted back inside.
"What's the matter?!" asked my mother, as I nearly toppled a chair on my way through the kitchen.
"I forgot to make my bed!" I called back.
❀ ❀ ❀
I stood at a level crossing, waiting for a train to go by before I proceeded. There were lots of trains in my town, something we were rather famous for. I backed away and held my suitcase tighter as the train hurtled through, the resulting wind causing my hair to dance wildly. I watched as it departed. My stomach felt uneasy. I'd ridden a train before many times, but never alone, much less traveled this far all by myself.
"Right," I said aloud, furrowing my brow and crossing the tracks.
A little ways ahead, I saw a group of students from my school walking together. One of the girls was tossing a football up in the air. I ran to catch up.
"Bethany!" I called as I approached them. "Bethany!" I slowed down to match their pace, touching one of the girls' shoulders. She was tall and slender, with long, straight black hair.
"Bethany, I'm leaving for my cousin's now," I said, breathing heavily as I tried to catch my breath. "I wanted to say goodbye."
"Oh, leaving where?" she asked, tossing the ball up in the air again. "I didn't know you had a cousin."
"I told you about her last Sunday, remember?" I replied. "I said I was going to be staying with her for the summer."
"Beth, who's going to be our centre-back?" asked one of the girls.
Bethany passed her the ball. "You can," she replied.
One of the boys whipped his head round. "Wait, I thought I was the centre-back?" he asked.
"Not anymore," said Bethany, shrugging.
The boy frowned. "You can't just switch positions like that! Now who's going to be our striker?"
"B-Bethany," I said, tugging on her shirt.
"We're about to have a match against Phillip and his team," said Bethany. "It's a shame you won't be able to see it. It's going to be the end of their streak for sure, so long as William doesn't ruin it like he did last time."
"That wasn't my fault!" said the boy.
"Oh, yes it was," she replied. "Everything was perfect, and then you missed the shot."
"O-oh, um, good luck!" I interjected. "Tell me how it goes when I get back!"
I turned round and ran backwards so I was just ahead of them.
"G-goodbye!" I said a little louder.
"Cheers!" Bethany called back, before returning to her argument. I lingered for a moment before turning round a corner and continuing towards my destination.
I met Bethany shortly after I moved here to start secondary school. She's captain for one of our football teams. I'm not very good at sports, so I'm not asked to join games very often, but Bethany let me join as the goalkeeper once when they were a member short. I've looked up to her ever since.
I checked my pocket watch. It was almost nine in the morning. I'll be late! I thought. I took off running.
❀ ❀ ❀
I reached the train station with a few minutes to spare, a little out of breath. It was very noisy. People were walking to and from the station, chattering about whatever it is grown-ups chatter about. I held more tightly to my suitcase as I looked round for the ticket office. Spying it, I ran up to it, hoping I wasn't too late.
"Hello, I'd like to purchase a ticket, please," I said. I stood on my tiptoes, my fingers gripping the end of the desk.
"You would, now?" said the attendant cheerfully.
"I—Yes, t-to Nailsworth, please," I replied.
"That's quite far from here," she said, narrowing her eyes. "Running away, are we? Where are your parents?"
"N-no," I said, stepping back from the desk. "I-I have family there. A-and I'm not a child!" I added, scowling.
The attendant raised her eyebrow.
I thrust open my handbag and laid the money out on the desk, without breaking eye contact.
"You be careful, then," she said finally, handing me my ticket. "Your train's coming in any moment now."
I don't need to be told that, I thought angrily. As I turned round to find the train, I bumped into someone who was walking by. Apologising, I glanced upwards and saw an elderly man towering over me. He was thin, almost unhealthily so, but rather well-dressed. He frowned.
"Well, you're a bit young to be traveling by yourself, aren't you?" he asked, in a gravelly voice.
"N-no I'm not," I responded tersely. I inched my right foot backwards, tightening my grip on my bag.
The man laughed. "It can be dangerous for a lass like yourself to be out here alone," he said. "You wouldn't happen to have an umbrella on you, would you? You wouldn't want to get caught in the rain, now."
Oh no, I forgot it! And I'll miss the train if I go back… "I-I don't…" I said cautiously. I took a step back and squared my shoulders.
"Here, take this." He held out his own umbrella. It was a deep red, with a finely crafted mahogany handle. I looked at the item, then back at him in silence, holding my gaze.
The man looked surprised. "You won't take it?" he asked. "You haven't lived here for very long, have you?" he remarked with a laugh.
"That's no concern of yours," I replied. I glanced behind him and saw my train pull into the station.
"You're sure, are you?" he asked.
"Y-yes," I said hurriedly, starting towards the train.
"If you say so. Good day, lass. Take care." The man smiled, tipped his hat, and walked away. I stared at him for a moment, puzzled by the encounter. Checking to make sure I still had all my belongings, I ran for the train. I showed the conductor my ticket and boarded, where I found my seat near the back of the car, next to a window. After stowing my luggage in the compartment above me, I sat down and let out a sigh, running my fingers through my hair.
I don't need an umbrella anyway, I reasoned. It's not raining now, and it's only a short walk from the station.
I shifted my weight, making myself more comfortable for the long ride. I began reminiscing about my last visit to my aunt and uncle's. I was eleven at the time. I closed my eyes and smiled as the smell of my Aunt Clara's lemon and poppyseed muffins came back to me. Aunt Clara had a gift for baking all kinds of delicious things. Alice would take after her and try it on her own… The results were never very good, but nobody wanted to tell her that.
Alice is my cousin. She was always very quiet, preferring to stay inside and read, but that was far too boring for my overactive self. She's a year older than I, but I (being the overbearing child I was) used to make her do all kinds of silly activities with me outdoors. She would happily go along with them.
I wonder if she's changed at all. I tilted my head back and stared at the ceiling. My own manners had much improved over the years (or at least, I'd like to think they had), but I was still mischievous at heart. That was a fine quality for a young lady to hold on to, right?
I was lost in thought until a waiter appeared a few hours later, taking the passengers' lunch orders. I had a delightful egg mayonnaise sandwich and some tea. Around this time in my journey, the Cotswolds started coming into view. Excitedly, I sat upright and pressed my face to the window.
Rolling green hills spread for miles, dotted by farms growing acres and acres of wheat and vegetables and other things. Occasionally, the train passed by a more populated area, where quaint villages filled with cottages sprawled about, untouched by modern industrial advances. The country was very different from the lively town I was from, but it was nice. I watched as one of the villages passed by. I wonder what it's like to live there, I thought. School must be nice… My school is very large, and it's easy to get lost. It must be easy to make friends at a small school…
I watched as a field of bright orange flowers passed by. Alice used to keep a flower like that in her room, I recalled. A smile crept onto my face. Taking my suitcase down from the compartment, I opened it and dug out my sketchbook and my pencils. I began to draw a hibiscus — I started with five large, rounded petals that slightly overlapped one another, then added the stamen, the leaves, and other details. It was an elegant flower, one that was difficult to reproduce on paper, especially in a moving train. As I drew, however, the noise of the train began to fade away. I continued my work, adding more subtle details and texture to the image, when I heard a loud voice. I looked up in shock.
"Hey, you!" shouted a man standing nearby. "You getting off here or what? I've got to get back to the station today, and I don't need anyone wastin' more of my time."
We've arrived? I thought.
"S-sorry!" I said, closing my sketchbook and returning my materials to my suitcase. I gathered my things and hurried off the train onto the platform outside. It looked much like the station I departed from, but smaller, and with far fewer people crowding the area.
I breathed in the clear air and exhaled loudly, looking up at the deep blue sky with a smile.
Aah, I'm finally here! I thought. I skipped off the platform and onto the pavement, at the corner of the path that lead into the town square.
It was a small town, with winding streets that were home to a variety of shops. I'd have to walk through town to get to the villa, but it wasn't a long way, so I knew I'd be there before dinnertime. I passed by several of the shops, when an idea struck me.
I know, I'll buy something to bring as a gift! That's something a proper houseguest would do, right?
A bit further up the road was a bakery, with a large window in front showcasing many rolls, croissants, pies, and other confections. I went inside, a bell above the door ringing as I opened it. The warm air smelled strongly of freshly made bread.
"Welcome," said a man enthusiastically. "What can I do for you?"
My nose was pressed to the glass display.
"I could get the cake…" I mumbled to myself. "… or I could get the cinnamon roll… I want the cinnamon roll… Oh, but it's too cute to eat!"
"Kid?" said the baker. I looked up suddenly and backed away from the display, stammering.
"Oh, h-hi, hello! I'd like to get a cinna-um, cinnam… um, I'd like to buy something, please!"
"I would hope so," said the baker, grinning. He was up to his elbows in flour.
I scanned the showcase. "Um, four of these croissants, please…"
"These?" He pointed to the butter croissants.
"Ah—the ones filled with raspberry jam," I said.
"Got it. Anything else?" He began putting the items into a pink and white-striped box.
That should be enough for the four of us. But perhaps I should get a few more just in case…
"A-and four of those butter rolls too, please," I said.
"Absolutely." He added them, handed me the box, and told me the total. I winced a little upon hearing the price, but I knew it'd be worth it.
"Thank you!" I said on my way out the door.
"Come again!" the baker replied.
I sighed and checked my pocket watch. It was almost four in the afternoon. They'd be expecting me soon.
Right. I quickened my pace, focusing on the road ahead. I'd be able to explore town later. Soon, the paved street gave way to a dirt path, leading into the residential part of the area. Whitewashed cottages lined the path to my left; a dense collection of trees was to my right. I kept walking until there was a small fork in the path. I turned to the right and followed it. A large clearing and an even larger building slowly came into view between the trees.
The McCrae villa was a sight to behold. It was an elegant thing built of honey-coloured stone and covered with vibrant green moss. Four tall windows sat on either side of the doorway; two for each storey, with another above the door. The villa was surrounded by an ornate black gate and a lush garden lined with hedges and flowers of red, white, yellow, and violet. Two dark cedar trees shaped into cones stood on the sides, as tall as the villa itself. The roof was covered with overlapping grey slate of varying shades. The second storey had a balcony where you could walk out and see the whole strawberry field in back. There was a tall, thick oak tree, many years old, in the lower-left corner of the garden, with two wooden benches placed opposite one another in its shade. In the centre of the garden was a wide grey fountain, where water flowed calmly out the top, and out the smaller spouts surrounding it. Hidden away from the other residences by the dense trees behind me, the villa was very quiet, save for the playful chattering of birds in the trees.
I held the box from the bakery to my chest with one hand, butterflies in my stomach. I opened the gate (they always kept it unlocked) and walked round the fountain to the doorway. The dark wooden door was framed by an arch and two pillars. I put my suitcase down and knocked loudly on the door, clutching the box a little tighter. It opened, and I was greeted by a tall man with sharp facial features and short grey hair.
"Good afternoon, madam," he said. "You are Miss Bennet, I presume?"
Before I could respond, I heard another voice from inside the house:
"Thank you Sebastian, but I can answer the door myself."
I almost didn't recognise the girl who appeared in the doorway.

If you love to hug your pillow, share your pillow or you like the look of large pillows (without more height) on your bed – this is the one for you.
Two higher profile, big pillows are available for those that prefer more height and additional neck support - THE BIGGER and THE BIGGEST.
Size: 70 x 40cm. Height 13cm. Weight 1100grams. This pillow is soft to medium density, similar to THE CLASSIC.
All our pillows are covered in beautiful, snow white, 100% soft cotton interlock. Zip off for easy washing.

The TLC Guarantee – our pillows are 100% natural Talalay latex. We are supremely confident in the exceptional standard of our pillows. If you are not happy with your pillow we will immediately refund the purchase price of any returns.
Buyer Beware - false claims are often made that 'natural' latex is used in pillows, when it is actually a blend that includes up to 70% synthetic latex (man-made from oil derivatives). While the former is eco-friendly and the latter clearly is not, it is very hard to tell the difference without scientific laboratory testing. Likewise, many sellers incorrectly claim their pillows are Talalay, a term that is either misused unknowingly or intentionally. The Talalay process is very expensive. If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.

BEEKEEPING in Wales comes of age this month as the craft's national association celebrates its 21st convention.
Worries over deadly new hive diseases will be set aside when members of the 800-strong Welsh Beekeepers Association meet at the Royal Welsh showground on March 29.
WBKA president Tom Rowlands, of Menai Bridge, said non-members who are interested in beekeeping can attend the event and discover how to set up their own hives.
He said interest in beekeeping was high despite fears that colony collapse disorder (CCD) – a mysterious disorder which has wiped out 80% of bee populations in parts of the US – could soon hit Britain.
Last month the British Beekeepers' Association launched a campaign calling on the government to launch a five-year, £8m research programme to save honeybees from virulent diseases such as CCD and pests like varroa mites.
Bees contribute £165m annually to agriculture in the UK through pollinating crops.

Eddie Owens Martin was born at the stroke of midnight on July 4, 1908 to sharecroppers in the rural southern town of Glen Alta, Georgia. Perceiving himself as an outsider, Eddie left the South as a teen and spent most of his adulthood working as a street hustler in New York. There, Eddie had his first vision of Pasaquan, and when he moved back to Buena Vista, Georgia in 1957, he changed his name to St. EOM and began what would become his life's work. The site, seven acres of brightly painted masonry walls, is currently being renovated. We talk with site director, Michael McFalls, about St. EOM and his Pasaquoyan legacy.
The 900-feet of concrete walls built by St. EOM are adorned with his interpretations of symbols from many different cultures and religions. While most visionary artists (e.g. Howard Finster) are inspired by their Christian faith and incorporate Christian imagery into their art, St. EOM's work is much different. St. EOM built Pasaquan after he was visited by Pasaquoyans from the future in a fever dream. They urged him to create "a utopian society that's pluralistic and accepting of all," which, Michael admits, might be "kind of scary," to potential visitors.
Through our conversation with Michael, we discovered that St. EOM was as much a work of art as Pasaquan. He made his own clothes and frequently adorned a self-fashioned headdress. He made a living in Buena Vista by telling fortunes, and some people believed him to be a witch doctor. Michael suggests that Eddie Martin intentionally cultivated myths about the character of St. EOM to insulate himself in a small community where he never felt like he belonged. Regardless, St. EOM is his own piece of art, as carefully curated as the concrete sculptures and painted walls of Pasaquan.
We hoped that visiting Pasaquan would provide us with insight into St. EOM's artistic purpose, but instead we came away from the site unsettled and overwhelmed. Pasaquan is a house, but it is also a work of art with complex images that evoke sensory and visceral responses. Similarly, Eddie Owens Martin was a real human being and a talented artist, but he also cultivated the character of St. EOM whose mythic persona has only grown since Eddie's death in 1986. While we left Pasaquan with more questions than answers, we feel certain of at least one thing: St. EOM attempted to build a better future with the tools he had, and that's a noble goal.
We would like to thank today's special guest, Michael McFalls. We would also like to thank everyone involved in the preservation of Pasaquan. The site will reopen with a festival on October 22, 2016, and we encourage our listeners to take the trip down to Buena Vista to see St. EOM's utopia in person.

This is what you will need:
- a dry skin brush or body brush for dry brushing with natural or vegan-friendly bristles
- a dry naked body
- a washroom *
- a shower to jump into afterward
Dry Brushing – How to get started
- Get yourself naked!! In a room that is not carpeted – dry skin is gonna be cascading off your body, you don't want it hiding out in the fibres of your carpet.
- Body Brush in hand, start at the base of your feet. To dry brush move upwards in circular or sweeping motions. When dry brushing you always want to move towards your heart. Therefore – from your feet to your breast/chest you are moving up, and from the neck to your breasts/chest, you are moving down.
- Make sure you get your backside, the palms of your hands and your neck.
- Be gentle with the areas of your body where your skin is sensitive. If you are sensitive everywhere, not to worry – use very little pressure on the body brush and start off with only dry brushing for 2-3 minutes.
- Take your time when dry brushing. You are going to want to go over the same area a few times, so work your way up slowly.
- Throw on some music while you are doing this – it should take about 6 minutes if you only have 2 minutes to spare – hey that's good!! Every little bit helps!!
- When you are all done jump into the shower and wash yourself off. Be prepared to feel amazing, your skin will breathe out a sigh of relief.
- When you are all done, dry yourself off by softly patting down your skin – move towards the heart.
- Moisturize with a natural cream, coconut oil, olive oil or shea butter.
Why you should try dry brushing
You love your body so show it with some circular motions!! Dry brushing your skin moves your lymphatic system (a bit on that below) which is your body's defence system. It circulates around the body transporting lymph. When you are stagnant or if you injure a lymph vessel lymph can spill into the interstitial matrix creating a lymphatic cyst. Another thing that unhealthy and immobile lymph can create are stretch marks. If you've had a major lymph node removed (one located under the armpit, your neck or your groin) dry skin brushing as well as Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is essential, primarily in the prevention of swelling of the surrounding body parts located in the vicinity of the removed or damaged lymph node.
Furthermore, being your body's defence system the stimulation of the lymphatic system also aids in cleansing the body of toxins as the lymphatic system cleanses some of the bodies waste (in the lymph nodes). The lymphatic system is also responsible for transporting nutrients around the body. Therefore increasing the circulation of the lymphatic system aids in increasing the energy flow through the body. Making it a great practice to include in your morning routine.
Lastly, I shall reiterate the physical beauty it will instill onto you. Apart from making you feel great on the inside, it will also make your outer shell feel amazing!! Clearing off your dead skin cells by dry brushing will over time you will be left with baby soft skin …. all the time (if your body is experiencing a rather bad imbalance of nutrients this may implicate this from happening). Softening/eliminating those stretch marks won't hurt either!
The Lymphatic System
When thinking about parts of the body one rarely – for the most part – thinks about the lymphatic system. But it's super important – it's our defence system!! It's made up of two parts, the first is the lymphatic vessels the second is lymphatic tissues and organs (lymphatic tissue, lymphatic nodes, lymph nodes, the tonsils, the spleen and thymus).
The lymphatic vessels which run parallel to arteries and veins are responsible for maintaining a balance of fluid within the body. They are very permeable allowing interstitial fluid (a liquid that fills the spaces between a majority of the tissue cells within the body – it resembles blood plasma in composition though it contains less protein) to freely move into them (becoming 'lymph' – the fluid that fills and runs through the lymphatic vessels) however, the lymph is prevented from moving out.
As they run parallel to arteries and veins it is very easy for them to drain these areas, as well as other tissues and organs, of waste products (foreign particles, bacteria, cellular debris). The waste stays put in the lymph and is shipped off to lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are responsible for filtering the lymph of all unwanted particles, they are the immunes surveillance and response system. This is aided by white blood cells whose job it is to start antibody production. The waste is filtered out and the remaining lymph is cleansed and sent on route back to the heart.
Like any area in the body, the lymphatic system performs the best when the entire body is functioning in an optimal balance. Low stomach acid, a cut on the arm, an overly alkaline or acidic body, inflammation of any kind all affect – to different degrees – the functioning of the lymphatic system as well, of course, other areas of the body.
They may not impair the function of the lymphatic system – they may simply overwork it. However, it is when an organ or system in the body is overwhelmed that it may stumble and fault. A well functioning lymphatic system will help mitigate against edema, keep up immune system function and bring nutrients to the cells of the body. Treat your body with kindness and it will treat you kindly in return! Dry brushing is a great way to stimulate and move the lymphatic system.
Other great ways to improve the look of your skin!
- Reduce your stress levels, find some time to relax and de-stress
- Drink enough water & make sure you are not dehydrated
- Supplementing with Vitamin E. If you find that your heals are a little or a lot on the harder side
- supplementing with Soy free Vitamin E daily is a great way to combat the troll feet.
- Going for regular massages will also aid in moving the lymph
- My massage therapist also informed me that wearing nylons helps to increase the circulation of the lymph especially when one is very stagnant. This also helps with diminishing stretch marks, particularly stretch marks on thighs.
*so you can keep all the dry skin cells in one place. You can do it in your room of course. That's what I do!! I jump out of bed have my brush on a side table and brush my body right away. A Swiffer sweeper will handle the skin so will a vacuum. However, if you have carpeting, it's probably best to go into your washroom….if that has carpeting, jump into your tub or shower and do dry brushing there!!!

Haha, back to my one line titles. A bit "Stoned" after a few days of inactivity. Actually wanted to write something but a bit lazy to do it. Hehe. Think I am more and more becoming accustomed to the pace of life here. Slow and easy.
Anyway, I am stoned because I have started playing computer games again. Haha. Since now got a good graphics card and a pretty good system. Decided to buy some games to test my new hardware mah. Jialat, got hooked to Neverwinter Nights 2. A D&D role playing game. Really enjoy every minute of it. Picked my favorite Sorcerer class and started blasting monsters with spells. The action is one of the reason I played, the story line is as usual, fantastic! Hooked to it by every minute. I enjoy playing RPG as it is some kind of a choose your own adventure book (remember those??).
The game developers are Obsidian Entertainment. They are worth a note as most of the people there are formally Black Isle Entertainment employees. (Those who play games will surely know about Black Isle. Anyway, Black Isle is famous for most RPG games but the best I have played so far is Planescape:Torment. No horse run.
Of course, now wify not very happy I play so late at night. :P Enough talking, still need to kill some Orcs with my Sorcerer

Poison joke is an infamous flower that grows in large patches throughout the Everfree Forest, easily identified by the bright blue colour of its leaves. As described by Zecora, "That plant is much like poison oak, but its results are like a joke." Poison Joke likes to play pranks on any creature who comes into contact with its leaves, causing that creature to develop ironic physical effects. For example, a fast pony may become very klutzy or a pony that likes to talk may find themselves mute. Those affected by Poison Joke are usually easily identified by the bright blue spots that normally appear in relation to the affliction the creature suffers.
The cure for poison joke is a bath in water mixed with an added natural remedy. The remedy is composed of certain herbs, plants, and flowers also found within the Everfree Forest.

Connor Priory
Why not an apple?
Tue Mar 14, 2017 19:22
So here he was, Sonora. Connor knew he shouldn't be impressed by the Cascade Hall as he should have been used to huge displays of magic but he was. His home was large but not especially opulent as his parents preferred to be a bit more down to earth.
Thinking about his parents made him worry. His mother had a bad back and was usually lying down and on pain potions whether she liked it or not while his father had anxiety issues. Connor was used to being responsible and helping out with his sisters Sophia and Lydia as well as his cousin Bridget, whose dad was his mom's first cousin. Bridget's parents also had issues so she was often at Connor's house whether or not that was the best place to put her. Grandma and Grandpa's probably would have been better both because they were perfectly healthy and because they actually lived in the same state as Bridget's parents did. Still, Connor liked having Bridget around and she was the same age as Sophia anyway so it gave his sister a girl her own age to play with on a regular basis.
Anyway, it was going to be odd not looking out for anyone but himself. As one of the youngest students, he was going to be seen as needing help, not as a source for it. He wasn't going to be the big brother here. At least, not for now.
Connor stood with the rest of the first years and waited for the goblet to reach him. Once it did, he took a substantial drink, not so much that there wouldn't be enough for everyone who was left, but enough for it to work. For a brief moment, he wondered what happened if the last person in line didn't drink all of what was left. Did they throw the potion out? Saving it for next term would be quite disgusting. He figured potions had shelf lives just like food and a potion left too long would either lose at least some of it's potency or turn toxic.
Or what if someone drank too much of it? Would it have ill effects or just make the color last longer? Or what if they ran out in the middle of Sorting and had to go get more? Was there more already made, which could fall into the issues of less potent or potentially toxic depending on how old it was or would someone-probably the Potions professor-go make more while they waited? It wouldn't do for someone to drink a less potent Sorting potion, they might end up in a house that was totally wrong for them. And that would be a disaster. What if it made a quiet timid person go into Pecari or a mean person go into Teppenpaw? While the latter didn't invoke much sympathy in Connor, he knew that being placed in the correct house was an essential component of thriving at Sonora. And everyone should get to thrive.
There was little time to contemplate this much further at the moment however as he turned a brilliant red. Crotalus. It was his uncle Adam's house, but did it suit him? He ran through a list of Crotalus traits. He supposed he was cautious to a degree and a planner. Definitely sensible and down to earth. Was he respectable? His last name suggested so but did that make his behavior as such? Of course, it did say
oneself was a respectable member of society, not that one actually
. As for rule driven,maybe. Connor wasn't the bossy no fun sort, but he didn't really care to break a rule when the consequence of doing so was too great. Which he supposed was more accurately considered cautious.
As he sat down at the table across from another red-faced first year, he recognized another student. His cousin Arianna. Connor had rather forgotten she was in Crotalus as well. They hadn't spent much time together but despite trying to give people the benefit of the doubt, he'd noted that Arianna was a bit on the bossy, snobby and controlling side, absolutely considering herself a respectable member of a society. Perhaps not so down-to-earth.
He didn't believe they were that much alike. Though Connor wasn't sure he was much like his uncle either. He held a more positive of view of humanity, for one thing. But then, misanthropy wasn't exactly listed as a house trait. And Arianna and Uncle Adam certainly weren't much alike at all.
As Connor scanned the table looking for cheese curds-they were apparently a regional thing, something that he'd never known until recieving a blank look from Ivy, a distant cousin of his that he'd met on the wagon, upon mentioning them before she went on to reply that they served regional...cuisine at Sonora, which as far as Connor was concerned was only fair given they served international fare-the girl across from him spoke, introducing herself as Cleo. He replied "I'm Connor Priory, of the Wisconsin Priorys. Nice to meet you." The new Crotalus gave her a big friendly smile.
I'm a tomato
Cleo James,

The school was impressively distracting. So much so, that Cleo started to forget her homesickness as they looked around. She had attended the local Muggle school in their small town prior to Sonora....

We have a terrific book club in our chapter!
As our reading guide, we're taking the list of 2014 Great Group Reads titles recommended for book clubs during WNBA's National Reading Group Month.
Our book for our March 3 meeting is….
by Mary Glickman
(Open Road Media)
The forbidden, tempestuous, and tragic love story of a beautiful Jewish immigrant and a debonair black man in the South during the early twentieth century.
Mags Preacher, a young black woman with a dream, arrives in St. Louis from the piney woods of her family home in 1916, hoping to learn the beauty trade. She knows nothing about Jews except that they killed the Lord Jesus Christ. Then she begins working for Mr. Fishbein, an Eastern European émigré who fled the pogroms that shattered his life to become the proprietor of Fishbein's Funeral Home. By the time he saves Mags from certain death during the 1917 race riots in East St. Louis, all her perceptions have changed. But Mr. Fishbein's daughter, the troubled redheaded beauty Minerva, is a different matter. There is something wrong with the girl, something dangerous, something fateful. And it is Magnus Bailey, Mags' first friend in the city, who learns to what heights and depths the girl's willful spirit can drive a man.
Marching to Zion is the tragic love story of Minerva Fishbein and Magnus Bailey, a charismatic black man and the longtime business partner of Minerva's father. From the brutal riots of East St. Louis to Memphis, Tennessee, during the 1920s and the Depression, Marching to Zion is a tale of passion, betrayal, and redemption during an era in America when interracial love could not go unpunished. Readers of Mary Glickman's One More River will celebrate the return of Aurora Mae Stanton, who joins a cast of vibrant new characters in this tense and compelling Southern-Jewish novel that examines the price of love and the interventions of fate.
Born Mary Kowalski on the south shore of Boston, Massachusetts, Mary Glickman grew up the fourth of seven children in a traditional Irish-Polish Catholic family. Her father had been a pilot in the Army Air Force and later flew for Delta Air Lines. From an early age, Mary was fascinated by faith. Though she attended Catholic school and as a child wanted to become a nun, her attention eventually turned to the Old Testament and she began what would become a lifelong relationship with Jewish culture. "Joseph Campbell said that religion is the poetry that speaks to a man's soul," Mary has said, "and Judaism was my soul's symphony."
Since she moved permanently to South Carolina in 2008, Mary's life long dream of publishing a novel has been realized. Her first novel, Home in the Morning, is in development for film by Jim Kohlberg, director of The Music Never Stopped (Sundance 2011). Her second novel, One More River, was a Finalist for the 2011 National Jewish Book Award in Fiction. Her third novel,Marching to Zion, was launched in November, 2013.
Our meetings take place on the first Tuesday of each month, 7 PM, at the Panera on Fairview near SouthPark – see dates below. We have chosen books to take us through to next October when there will be a new Great Group Reads list released. If you have questions about our Book Club, please contact Kristen Knox at whitreidsmama
These are the books we're reading in 2014-2015:

This month it might be tempting to just grab a handful of Halloween candy before heading to class, but you'll be much better off with one of these goodies. They're packed with protein, fiber and good fats, leaving you fueled and ready to take on even the trickiest combinations.
Nutty Popcorn Balls
• 1/2 cup unpopped popcorn kernels (makes about 16 cups popcorn)
• 3/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Air-pop popcorn kernels and set aside.
• Mix honey and brown sugar in a saucepan. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil, then add peanut butter and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
• Put popcorn in a large bowl. Pour honey-peanut butter mixture over it (careful, it'll be hot!) and stir until popcorn is thoroughly coated.
• As soon as the mixture has cooled enough to be handled comfortably, start forming it into golf-ball–sized balls, compressing the popcorn tightly with your hands. Place
the balls on a cookie sheet lined with waxed or parchment paper. Put the cookie sheet into the refrigerator to cool.
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Makes 25–30 balls
(by Josephine Daño)
Peanut Butter Power Pack
• 1 medium or large apple
• raisins, cinnamon and peanut butter to taste
• toothpicks (optional)
• Slice an apple horizontally about an inch from the top. Remove the top part, and scoop out the core with a melon baller.
• Tuck peanut butter, cinnamon and raisins into the hollow space and replace the "lid." Secure it with toothpicks if you'll be taking this snack on the go.
Prep Time: 5–10 minutes
Makes 1 serving
Delicious and nutritious: "The peanut butter in these recipes provides healthful oils that don't cause joint inflammation, and the protein will decrease hunger and keep you fuller longer—no sugar cravings! Also, the raisins are a good source of iron (athletes, like dancers, are more prone to developing iron-deficiency anemia)." —Marie Scioscia, MS, RD, CDN, of The Ailey School
Still trying to nail that triple pirouette? Researchers say you're more likely to succeed if you shoot for 2–4 rotations instead. A study in the Journal of Consumer Research found that flexible goals seem both attainable and challenging, so you're more likely to keep achieving your objectives and setting new ones. Translation? The lower number feels doable, while the higher one dares you to work harder. Talk about the best of both worlds!
Dealing with self-doubt? Write yourself a love note! We know you're amazing, but it's important that you know what makes you great, too. Read your note before your next big audition, and you'll head into the room beaming with confidence.

When reaching for an effective internship, there are important traits that interns should remember to become successful. Internships are great opportunities for you to learn how a company works inside and out. If you have performed well in your internship, usually a position will be waiting for you once you have completed the term. Internships are one of the best tools that will help improve your professional skills to have more chances of succeeding in your chosen career. For many people who wanted to have a different experience international internship is a perfect choice.
One of the most famous countries that offer internships for interested applicants all over the world is China. You can visit www.aimhighshanghai.com for more information. To ensure a successful internship you must possess good qualities that will help improve your performance during the term. Three Important Qualities of a Successful Intern Good communication – This is the most important quality among the three.
Being able to communicate effectively with your superior and other employees is necessary if you want to understand what the industry is all about. Communication is more important if you are doing an internship abroad or in a foreign land like China and you don't speak nor understand the people's language. Find an internship provider that also offers language study so you don't have to worry about communicating once you are in the field.
Organization – This is another important quality of a successful intern. It is important to have an organized schedule of activities' as well as information so that you can access to it easily using specific codes you have set. When you organize your activities for the day you will know what you should do in a particular day and who you should be with and where you will meet. Organization enables you to know where you are going every day. Keeping information, documents and other important files organized can make your life easier and become more professional.
The ability to change – This is very important once you get an internship abroad. Your ability to adapt to the changes in the lifestyle and the environment will determine your success as an intern. It is important to be reminded that this is a different way of learning and this is not the same as learning things in a school environment.
You should always be willing to do things or to complete a task even if you are not used to perform it as long as it is related to your area of study. It is important to try new things during your internship term because in this way you will discover more of your personal and professional skills. You can change your ways if it necessary so that you will improve your abilities and become successful in your internship.
As long as you have these three qualities you can never go wrong with your internship. Becoming a good communicator, having a good organization skill and being able to embrace changes in lifestyle or job position will make you a better person.

In the early 1970s, Tarn Wilson's father quit his job as the Brookings Institution's first computer programmer, packed his family into a converted school bus with "Such Nixon" painted on the side, and headed for the Canadian wilderness. He planned to give his two young children an Edenic childhood, free from the shadows of war, materialism, and middle class oppression. Between each lyric chapter, told from a child's point of view, Wilson incorporates "artifacts" that reveal larger cultural forces shaping her parents' decisions: letters, photographs, timelines, newspaper clippings, excerpts from radical approaches to child rearing. In the space between the child's vision and the adult context, readers are invited to consider the gifts and burdens of a counterculture childhood.
Tarn Wilson
Interview. "Tarn Wilson on writing memoir, understanding our parents, and her book "The Slow Farm," Ginny Moyer's blog Random Acts of Momness.
Article. "Hippies and Draft Dodgers." Texada Heritage Society, Musings.
Praise for The Slow Farm:
"Tales of her youthful fits and starts could spark nostalgia even in those who didn't grow up romping around in the woods with near complete freedom."
Stanford Magazine.
"Tarn Wilson's new book The Slow Farm is a vivid and engaging account of Texada's 'back-to-the-land' lifestyle as seen through the eyes of a little girl who grew up here."
Peter Lock, Texada Historical Society
Tarn Wilson deftly turns memoir into an interactive project. "
Judith Kitchen, author of five books
"Because words, for Wilson, are palpable forces, talismanic devices, and sensuous objects, she is able to create a meditative/poetic space wherein one might experience, not merely read about, the pulse, scent and heartbeat of one family--and one woman's--ethos."
Lia Purpura, author of Rough Likeness, On Looking, and Increase.
"As Tarn Wilson fingers "little beads of memory," she creates a textured memoir of a childhood that captures the zeitgeist of the 60s from a child's point of view. In a pastiche of forms--from narrative, to myth, to historical record, to emails--Wilson draws her reader in to consider what happens when idealism meets reality of our "flawed and lovely world."
Brenda Miller, author of Tell it Slant: Creating, Refining, and Publishing Creative Nonfiction.
What makes this book truly remarkable is the absence of the adult world and its accompanying interventions of limit, which Tarn repeatedly returns to in order to make larger investigations of the natural world, the very fragile mores of the counter-culture, and the family history that follows . . . The Slow Farm is finally a meditation on absence, and a reflection on dissolution. It is a book I read straight through.
John W. Evans, author of Young Widower and Consolations.

The Model 3 has got a bit of a bad reputation for having a rough ride. I've had mixed feelings about it personally. In this video, I show the before and after from lowering my Model 3 by 1.5" (moderate) and testing the vibrations. Get these updates in your inbox at https://teslanomics.co/join
Before we get too deep into the weeds here, this is a sponsored post. Unplugged Performance in LA hooked up these springs for me and are giving away a set to one lucky winner of their raffle. Enter to win below:
## Enter to win a free set of lowering springs for your Model 3 here! https://teslanomics.co/m3springs
After getting my 20" turbine wheels from EV Wheel Direct something just wasn't right about the look of Tez, my Model 3. So I called up my friends at Unplugged Performance and they let me know about a new set of suspension which lowers the car 1.5" (moderate) and also should improve the ride comfort.
Here are the full details on the springs themselves which retail for $335 w/o installation
This ambitious engineering project began with a review of factory spring rates and led to a goal of the following:
1. Target an increase in comfort in daily driving situations. Solution by studying factory spring rates and producing a softer but proportionate spring rate front and rear.
2. Target an increase in performance when cornering. Solution by utilizing the highest technology partner and producing a secondary more sporty performance spring rate that engages when cornering g forces are loaded.
3. Target an increase in range. Achieved by lowering the car as height is proven to correlate to aerodynamic efficiency.
4. Every day improved performance at significant value. Solution by producing in bulk volume in a direct manufacturer partnership produced to proprietary Unplugged Performance developed specifications.
Three Unique Offerings:
Mild – For Comfort Without Sacrifice
Target Use: For Tesla Model 3 owners who desire near factory levels of ground clearance and the softest ride possible, without sacrificing sporty handling at the limit.
Ride: Our Mild offering is engineered with maximum comfort in mind for day-to-day use. We utilize our two distinct spring rates to allow the first spring rate to be even softer than our most popular Moderate spring. When cornering, the secondary spring rate activates and represents a near equivalent spring rate to a factory non modified Model 3. This dual rate engineering reduces the typical downside of reduced handling, feel and agility when utilizing a softer spring rate.
Height: 0.7" drop. Front ground clearance is comparable to many modern sedans. The car is lowered only slightly, and there is still considerable wheel gap of approximately "three fingers". From a distance the car will not look noticeably lower than factory height.
Moderate – For Sports Car Drivers (Best Seller)
Target Use: For Tesla Model 3 owners who desire well balanced improvements to handling, steering responsiveness, as well as stability that can be felt every day in a diverse variety of environments. With this application we set out to create a best of both worlds spring for everyday use.
Ride: Our Moderate offering is engineered with slightly softer spring rates than factory springs. When cornering, the secondary spring rate activates and body roll is minimized with a slightly more firm spring rates than factory.
Height: 1.5" drop. Front ground clearance is comparable to a modern sports car. The car is lowered moderately, enough to gain aerodynamic efficiency with cleaned up airflow under the car. Visually tire gap is reduced to "two fingers" wheel gap.
Low – Strictly For Crazy People Like Us
Target Use: We do not recommend this version to anyone unless they have previous experience driving modified lowered clearance cars and/or supercars. The car is set at the lowest reasonable height limit to maximize handling performance. It can be daily driven but extreme awareness and caution for ground clearance should be taken.
Ride: Our Low offering is engineered with comparable spring rates to the factory springs. When cornering, the secondary spring rate activates and body roll is minimized with a more firm spring rate than factory. On both primary and on secondary spring rates, the Low version is slightly firmer than our Moderate version. This slightly firmer setting is consistent with our intention of a true high performance driving style.
Height: 2.1" drop. Front ground clearance is comparable to a modern supercar. Visually tire gap is reduced to "one finger" wheel gap.

033: Reggie Elliott Is Up With Coffee
A few weeks ago, we got in a Twitter debate with Reggie, and we all came together to discuss cultural appropriation (spoiler alert: he's right we were wrong), the responsibility of leaders in the coffee industry, and what's so special about the D.C. coffee scene. Reggie is the Coffee Director at A Rake's Progress and The Cup We All Race 4, and he talks about Sweden, his beginnings at Murky Coffee, and the importance of representation through DMV Coffee. We also laugh a little and talk about astrology and babies because duh.

Mattdownunder posted a topic in Skilled VisasHello all, I am currently going through my 190 visa process, I have completed stage 1 and have my vetasses plumbing practical in Blackburn in September. It would be very much appreciated if there's anyone that can touch base and give me a heads up on the day itself i.e the practical , the interview, what's involved in the day and is white anything extra to revise, touch up on? I have researched and revised all my relevant components for my skill, and familiarised myself with what I think will come up. If there's anything that you guys think I could do with knowing that would be epic as I am struggling to find much apart from what vetasses provide you with. many thanks Matt
Pooja Negi posted a topic in Skilled VisasHey Guys, I have submitted EOI for 189/190 visa on 17th July with 70 points for Registered Nurse (Critical care & emergency-254415). What are my chances of getting an invitation next month? Has anyone recently received an invite on the same points from NSW? Thanks in Advance!
Brisbane Oil & Gas Industry
Mad4daSun posted a topic in Visa ChatBeen lurking here the last few months as I was making my way through the 189 process. Finally applied last week and now lining up the police checks and medicals. Its been no easy feat so far. Looking forward to a grant since theyre sayin 6 month processing time now. Anyway I've been sizing up the job situ in Brisbane as thats where my wife wants to go. I'm keen on there too because my background is in oil and gas engineering and apparently brisbane has a lot of that. However after doing quite a bit of research it seems like times are not great in the job market. Not a lot of energy jobs. Does anyone have any insight into this? Any advice on how to get my foot in the door? Ive 7yrs exp in gas pipelines in canada. Cheers all and looking forward to contributing more here.
Katie Sandford posted a topic in Skilled VisasHello everyone My husband and I are looking in to the possibility of emigrating to Australia and are already so confused about the best option, if we even have options that is! My husband currently works for the RAF as an Aircraft Avionics Techincian which is on the STSOL. We've been told by one agent that they're concerned his qualifications in this trade (currently NVQ level) may not be enough to match AQF level 4, but another has said this should be fine. He's thinking about studying for an Aeronautical Engineer degree which would then make him eligible for a 190 visa we believe, but ths is going to take him 3 years....will it still be on the list then?? This is our biggest concern. Also if we apply under the 189 visa, the only state open for his trade is NT, not actually somewhere we'd considered. We've recently spent time in WA and completely fell in love, so really this is where we'd like to end up in the long run. From my understanding, you can move after 2 years in the original state, is this correct? It's all a bit much at the moment and it's a lot of money to start the whole visa process...we don't want to make the wrong decision. I work for the Police which is absolutely no help to the application at all. Any advice anyone can offer would be amazing. Thank you
189 Visa - Medical tests for children with development delays
Ronkite posted a topic in Skilled VisasHello, We have recently submitted our Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189) application. It was only during our medical examinations we have realised that the development delays/signs of autism in children would be a deal breaker for obtaining a PR visa. My kid (3 years and 4 months) had shown some signs of autism when he was 2.5 years old and has been attending an early intervention program ever since. He also attends a regular play school here in our city. He was non-verbal just 10 months ago, but his speech has significantly improved in the last few months. He now speaks more than 300-400 words (eg: fruits, vegetables, colours, animals, vehicles, planets, action words, weeks, months etc..) and uses 3-4 word sentences like "I want water please", "open the door", "cover me with a blanket", "I see a phone" etc.. and asks for assistance using sentences like "help me". He can also count numbers up to 50 and trace alphabets among other things. He also started reading 3-letter words without much assistance. He has been potty trained for over two weeks now and is generally doing well with his needs. We believe he is doing reasonably well in both his schools as we receive positive feedback from his teachers. As part of his medical examination earlier this week, we have provided the details of his speech delay and his current pre-school program (early intervention) information to the Doctor. Since there was no formal diagnosis of ASD, and considering his recent improvements we didn't mention anything about his earlier signs of autism. Since my kid showed a lack of interest/attentiveness in this session(and also didn't answer couple of questions), the Doctor suggested that he may have to refer his case back to the Australian Immigration department. He basically suggested that the DoHA may ask for additional details from his school about his attention deficit. I now see the following message from Immiaccount. "A Medical Officer has determined that additional health information is required to determine whether this person meets the health requirement for the visa subclass specified". Does this mean further medical tests will be conducted? And what tests do they generally conduct to determine my child's condition. I believe they may probably do some psychological evaluation to determine if he is on the spectrum, but not sure how this really works. We have only observed few of these highlighted symptoms in our child recently, and wondering if this would put him on the spectrum and make him ineligible for this Visa. Please advice if we should seek professional help (George Lombard or Peter Bollard) for this case right away, or wait a bit longer to see the results from further medical tests (if any)? Apologies for the long post, but would really appreciate any valuable inputs from forum members.
I am afraid of my visa gets rejected. Please help!
Nima posted a topic in Skilled VisasMy wife and I are on a student visa residing in Australia. Recently, I made an FOI request and found out that our agent did not provide my academic certificate and transcripts and also one of my job reference letters during the student visa application. I was the dependant applicant of that application. Now we are going to apply for a 189 visa and I want to be the primary applicant this time. However, I am afraid that my application gets rejected due to the conflict with our previous application. It is also noteworthy that we are not in Australia when we submit our application. I want to know if we have the right to complain at AAT if out application rejects. What do you suggest me to do? Any advice is much appreciated.
Eligibility advice on 189 visa
maxo1123 posted a topic in Visa ChatHi all, I'm currently working in Melbourne (IT) on a WHV but have to go back to the UK soon. I am looking into the visa options for a more permanent return at a later date but would like to begin the process soon if possible (ASAP), I would really appreciate some advice on what might be the best way to go about this. Background, I'm 25 and studied Multimedia Development (BSc, Upper Second) at a UK university and graduated in 2014. I went on to work as a Junior Games Developer for 1.5yrs and then progressed to Developer for 9 months after. I then switched jobs and have been doing IT development under the job title of Technical Graduate for the last 2 years and have recently been promoted to a Junior Software Analyst. I am aware of the English proficiency test and the ACS skills assessment, so am willing to do these if it will assist me in making the required points. Making an educated guess, and providing I was to pass the English test and ACS assessment I believe I am around 65 points? (if my work experience counts) Do you think I have enough to make up the points for a 189, or any other visa you may think is suitable? Is getting sponsored a viable option for me if the 189 is not possible? Is it worth me contacting an Agent to help and does anyone have any recommendations of Agents that could assist me in IT related applications? I am in Australia for another month or so, so can meet with an Agent if this is easier. Thanks in advance, I really appreciate any help or answers people can give me.

Citizenship after 12 months ?
spangley posted a topic in Visa ChatHi All, I'd be grateful is anyone can clarify my entitlement to citizenship. I believe the rules were changed a few years ago, so some expats I talk to offer conflicting advice. We received our 189 PR visa in March 2014. We activated the visa by visiting Melbourne in June 2014 We moved to Australia in Dec 2017 When can we start applying for citizenship? After physically being in Australia for 12 months or, after 4 years? A straightforward, friendly, helpful reply will be most welcome ? James
189/190 Visas from Nov-Dec 2017
Guest posted a topic in Skilled VisasHi all, I thought I would start a new topic for people with 189/190 visas lodged in the months of November and December 2017, in order to share our timelines and experience with the process. We lodged our 189 visa on the 22nd December 2017 and haven't heard anything back yet. We are hoping we can get a direct grant (without CO contact) since we front loaded all the required documentation and also because the lodgement was done via a migration agent so we are confident on the application being correct and complete. We were hoping we could get a grant by the start of March but we have seen today that the processing times on the Home Affairs website have been significantly increased (from 5-8 months to 9-12 months) so we are a bit upset about this. If anybody around here has similar timelines it would be great to hear your experience. Thanks Cristina
Got invitation for 189 visa but I want to clarify something
chrissygc posted a topic in Skilled VisasHi there, sorry its a long post. Hope you guys can offer me some advice. I finally received an invitation for 189 visa after waiting few months. I have 70 points total. I claimed 5 points for skilled employment. I work as an RN under the same hospital but in different locations (it's a big hospital) I worked 16 hours a fortnight in one and 60 hours in another hospital. I resigned in the hospital that I worked for 60 hours in because I had issues with my manager. When I applied for skilled assessment to add 1 year of experience- I did from the hospital that I work only 16 hours and they were happy to state that I work full time there (not in the location) but they were happy to because it's still under the same hospital. Now I finally got the skills assessment that states that I worked full time in the hospital that I only work 16 hours in (I didn't think Anmac would add the name and location of hospital). Now I have everything including payslips, tax statements, employment reference and the only thing i don't have is the contract which obviously just says I work in that location for 16 hours but my skills assessment says something else. In summary, I have 1 years of experience and I have generalised payslips, tax statements and superannuation statements that prove it but I just have contract from the specific location of hospital. Is there anything I can do ?? Any my advise is welcome. thank you ?

189 & Current points required
LauraHol89 posted a topic in Skilled VisasHi everyone, So I fall in to the same boat as most, waiting for an invite after submitting an EOI for a 189 visa. I am defacto on my partners application and he is a Diesel Mechanic. We have 65 points and I can see that people under 70 points haven't been getting invited since last year; so that's disheartening! Anyway, the point of my post is to ask, is there any chance we would never get an invite at all?? Or is it just a case of waiting and eventually we will be invited ... just later down the line. I suppose I am just looking for some reassurance. Any comment is appreciated! Laura x
Psychology 189 Visa
RMiles posted a topic in Skilled VisasHi all, I have two questions regarding my psychology qualifications. Firstly I understand I'll get 15 points for my BSc (Hons) in Psychology as "A Bachelor degree from an Australian educational institution or a Bachelor qualification, from another educational institution that is of a recognised standard". Would I also get a further 10 points for my MSc in Forensic Psychology as an "award or qualification recognised by the relevant assessing authority for your nominated skilled occupation" ? If so, it would be the difference between 65 and 75 points on my application. Secondly has anyone had any experience of having their assessment done by the APS and do you know how many years of Australian study a BSc (Hons) and an MSc masters equate to? I need the equivalent of 6 years of Australian study to qualify. Many thanks in advance!
ANMAC proffesional letter
nmnatalie236 posted a topic in Skilled VisasHi. I graduated in 2016 with a bachelor of nursing. I started my grad program last year and finished this year in February. The rotations for my grad program included Surgical ward, Rehabilitation, The NSW Eye centre, and main theatres. All these rotations were 3 months each but I have a cumulative experience of 12months. So I submitted my professional reference for ANMAC however they requested that I provide more information about your individual daily tasks, clinical skills and competencies as observed by your supervising nurse. So with that being said how do I write a reference that includes all these components. Also, do I have to apply under one ANZSCO code? The visas I am applying for are the 189 visa or 190. If you have written a letter recently could you please help me out.
Points Score for a British Graduate in Occupational Therapy
Eloise posted a topic in Skilled VisasHi there! I am currently in year 2 studying occupational therapy in the UK. I'm looking ahead at what visa I could apply for when I graduate in June 2018 and the 189 Skilled Independent visa could be an option. I know that I need a minimum of 60 points and there's one question I'm not sure what I would fall under, which would mean that I meet the points or not: Qualifications A Bachelor degree from an Australian educational institution or a Bachelor qualification, from another educational institution that is of a recognised standard. 15 points. Does this mean from another educational institution in Australia? or An award or qualification recognised by the relevant assessing authority for your nominated skilled occupation. 10 points When I graduate I will get awarded a BSc in Occupational therapy, therefore will have a Bachelor qualification from the UK of a recognised standard and also recognised by the relevant assessing authority in Australia. I would also be applying as a graduate with no experience apart from my placements, but meeting the minimum 60 points if the answer to the qualification question is the bachelor degree. Is being a graduate with no work experience likely to make the visa more difficult to get? Has anyone got any recent experience as a graduate occupational therapist or a similar experience? Many thanks, Eloise
189/190 Visa Applications from July/Aug 17
strayadreams posted a topic in Skilled VisasHi Just starting a new thread for anyone who has applied for a PR visa 189/190 after July. Mine is in - 190, State Nomination in QLD (onshore) with 80 points. Medicals booked next week. Still waiting for Aus post to deliver what are presumed clear background checks from U.K. Like everyone else, hoping for a quick turnaround ?
Hi there! I've researched into the 189 visa for an occupational therapist, but I'm still confused on how I would be supervised and assessed for the visa without having a visa (desktop 2). I read that being assessed and applying for the visa are 2 separate things so I'm not sure on how this process works. Would I need a different visa completely while I'm being assessed? Also I presume the assessment needs to take place in Australia? Anyone who has been through this process please could you enlighten me as I'm struggling to find clarity on this. Many thanks, Eloise
189 accountant visa skills assessment
Gillycraig posted a topic in Skilled VisasHi. Hoping for another little bit of help! I'm applying for a skills assessment under 'accountant' and whilst I've got 6 years experience in a Finance role I also had 8 years post qualification experience with PWC after getting my CA qualification. My question is will the assessing authority look at the PWC experience as technically it's external audit or do they look at it as general accountant experience? Just trying to understand if I can get an extra 5 point or not for 8-10 years experience. Thanks for for any help!
Do I have to work in my skilled profession after I get granted the 189 visa?
Eloise posted a topic in Skilled VisasHi there! I was wondering if after being assessed and granted a 189 visa would I have to work in my skilled profession? My skilled profession being occupational therapy. Or can I work in whatever I like after being granted the visa and that wouldn't affect me down the line? Many thanks, Eloise
ANMAC experience
Melguest posted a topic in Skilled VisasHi So I'm just working out my points to decide whether it's an 189 or 190 visa I need to apply for.... it kind of depends on what ANMAC accept as experience. I have worked as a registered nurse for the last 5 years since qualifying with a diploma in nursing, I have recently topped up to a degree in order to apply for a visa so will my previous experience count or only my experience since obtaining the degree? Thanks in advance for anyone who has any info on this ?
BVA from student visa once 189 visa is applied?
Berni posted a topic in Visa ChatHi Everyone, I am new here and any help is highly appreciated My 485 visa was about to expire so I applied for a student visa on 22/10/2017 and BVA was granted. I received the invitation for 189 on 06/12/2017 and applied for the visa on 07/12/2017. Today (12/12/2017), I was granted BVC saying this visa is not in effect because my BVA is currently in effect. My question here is, should I withdraw my student visa on my own or wait until CO guides me? Also, I read somewhere that there are 28 days cooling date once you withdraw your visa upon CO guidance and then only CO will grant you the visa? Thank you so much in advance and I really hope to hear from you all very soon
Secondary Level Education in the EOI
Katiolowe posted a topic in Skilled VisasHi I have recently submitted my EOI for ICT Business Analysis on the 189 Visa. All good I have the 60 points, but have recently learnt that they are only inviting for 70 points and above. I have only submitted with RPL from ACS, but was wondering if I could do a certification and get an extra 10 points? My question is really what level of certification can I claim the secondary level education for? Do I need a Bachelors? or would a BCS Certificate in Business Analysis Practice at practitioner level suffice? Or do I need to do the full BCS International Diploma in Business Analysis? What do they mean by secondary level education? Thanks, Kate

SkillSelect invitation rounds and 189 Visa
gord81 posted a topic in Visa ChatHi All, Can anyone explain the SkillSelect system and invitation rounds process??? I'm a Diagnostic Radiographer and recently gained my skills assessment and have finally made it to the minimum requirement for applying to SkillSelect (60 points). I have now submitted my EOI (9/11/17) and from reading a few posts on here and checking the previous invitation rounds I'm a bit confused why there have been no invites for 60 pointers! Are there any differences for occupations or is it strictly based on points regardless? Any help or guidance greatly appreciated. Thanks Gordon

Yesterday's trip to the Nantahala River in North Carolina proves my point. Wet it was. Warm it was. But just days before, the mercury dipped well into the teens and snow flurries blew across the ridges behind moderate rainfall. The best trout bites came from the long, slow and deep runs where the fish were slow to move for any offering that didn't bump 'em in the nose.
The head of a pool often holds well-defined trout
lies that gather insects washed off the riffle,
drop or chute above it.
And that's the common factor in trout fishing during changeable wintertime weather patterns, whether warm or cold. Think deep, and remember the depth at which your fly drifts is an equation with three factors: 1) leader length; 2) weight, both in your fly of choice and any added split-shot;and 3) current velocity.
Experience ... Exposure ... Execution ... Engagement ... That's real fishing with Reel Angling Adventures. Hook 'em!

What could be cuter than a conversation between Neil deGrasse Tyson and a first-grader?
Earlier this month, the famed astrophysicist called on six-year-old Kaitlynn Goulette to ask him a question while he was delivering a lecture at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass.
When the young girl asked, "How can first-graders help the Earth," Tyson didn't tell her to recycle or invest in solar panels. Rather, he encouraged her to not lose her natural curiosity to explore the Earth that she so desperately wants to help. Check out the exchange in the YouTube video above.
"He's just told this little girl that she too can be a scientist," YouTube user Tiffany Henry commented on the video. "I am feeling all the joy in the world right now."
There's no question that children have an innate enthusiasm for science. Just watch first-and second-graders in this "Talk Nerdy To Me" episode below.
