Word Wall Linky Party
My students have Poetry Notebook to help build fluency and comprehension. In each poem, we focus on three to five "chunks" or sounds that are commonly spelled.
An example: the first poem we used one year was "I Have a Little Turtle" which goes "I had a little turtle, he lived in a box, he swam in the puddle, he climbed on the rocks. He snapped at a mosquito, he snapped at a flea. He snapped at a fly, and he snapped at me. He caught the mosquito, he caught the flea. He caught the fly, but he didn't catch me!" We "choose" five word chunks from this poem to focus on for the first week and two days of school because we usually start on a Thursday (go figure!). One chunk is -ap from snapped. We discuss the double consonant and why we need it when adding the suffix -ed. We make words with ap during stations. Another chunk we add to our chunk word wall is -le from little. We find words that have -le at the end that say /l/ like little and puddle. We use -ock from rock, -y from fly, and -aught from caught. We talk about -aught sounding like it should have a short o. This is just a good time to discuss our Southern drawl and remind students that caught really doesn't sound like cawt. ;)
Using this activity at the beginning of the year is a way I review short and long vowel sounds. I have a, e, i, o, u, y, and other as labels on my chunk wall. We talk about y saying long i at the end of a one-syllable word and long e at the end of a two syllable word most of the time. We look for patterns in our speech, reading, and writing using the chunk wall. I told my students that ey at the end of a word says long e, and I couldn't think of any other ways to use y. One of my students came to me a few days later with gym, where y says short i. :) I was thrilled that she noticed. Now, I do the same every year at first to see how many words they can bring with different sounds. I challenge them to find ways to use chunks that I have forgotten. ;)
I don't have a picture because we took everything down for testing, but my "Chunk Wall" is a basic, yellow 5 ft. (I think) pocket chart with the letters spread out in two rows. We add words in columns and usually don't fill the pocket chart completely. After the first few weeks of school, fewer words are added because we have examples of lots of chunks there. Our Poetry Folder gets fatter with fewer "chunks" that we haven't already added. Occasionally someone will bring a word they've found, we'll discuss it as a class as to whether we need to add it, and we do or don't-according to vote (with a little encouragement whichever way from me).
I'd also read in Janiel Wagstaff's book Phonics That Work! New Strategies for the Reading and Writing Classroom about a word wall that you add 1,000 frequently used words to a few at a time until it is full. Students are held accountable for the words that have been added because this word wall stays in one place, has the same words all year (as they are added, students work with the words and are then accountable for them).
If you haven't read that book and teach second grade, you'll love it! :) I got it in 1994 when it was published.

Both Eliza and Alexander Hamilton considered themselves New Yorkers, and they both spent more time in their lives there than anywhere else. But they also lived for a number of years in Philadelphia: Alexander took various lodgings when business and government took him to the city, and Eliza and the children joined him in at least one rented house (records are inconclusive) from 1790-1795, when Philadelphia was the country's capital and Alexander was serving as the Secretary of Treasury.
They definitely did live in a house at 79 South Third Street, a lot which now faces onto modern day Walnut Street between Third and Second Streets. The house has long ago vanished, and there is no surviving drawing or other record of its appearance. It was most likely brick and several stories high, as were nearly all of the other houses in the neighborhood. The Hamiltons would have required a good-sized house. The family was a growing one, with four of their own children as well as their adopted daughter Fanny Antill, to be joined by another son in 1792. The household would also likely have included servants. More unhappily, Alexander conducted at least part of his ill-fated affair with Maria Reynolds in this house, while Eliza was away with the children at her parents' house in Albany.
The house's location must have been convenient for Alexander. It was around the corner from the Offices of the Treasury on Third and Chestnut, and also, on the same street, the site of the new First Bank of the United States. (On the east side of Third Street today, across from the bank, stands the new Museum of the American Revolution.) Three blocks to the west, at Sixth Street and Chestnut, was Congress Hall, the home of the United States Congress until 1800. Shops, stables, taverns, and markets were also conveniently nearby.
The Hamiltons's house was on the edge of one of 18thc. Philadelphia's most affluent neighborhoods. On Third Street south of Walnut, shown in the c1800 engraving above, were the mansions of merchant, banker, and legislator William Bingham and his wife Anne; first president of the First Bank Thomas Willing; and real estate magnate and last mayor of colonial Philadelphia, Samuel Powel and his wife Elizabeth. At one time, George and Martha Washington also had a house on Third Street.
Given Alexander's position in the government, it's likely that he and Eliza were frequent guests in the homes of these wealthy and powerful people. Reciprocating their hospitality, however, must have been a challenge for Eliza, given their own much more limited means. Unlike the majority of the other members of the new government, the Hamiltons had no income from a private estate, legacy, or investments, and attempted to live on Alexander's surprisingly humble salary - far less than what he had been earning as a lawyer in New York.
Today a large commercial building sits on the site of the Hamilton house, with an imposing historic plaque facing Walnut Street to commemorate the location. As is too often the way, however, the plaque mentions only Alexander as having lived there, without so much as a hint of Eliza, or their children. I couldn't make a lasting addendum to the plaque, but at least for the photo, below, I made sure Eliza was included.

(Updated Feb. 01, 2018)
Hello world of bloggers!
This is it! Finally in!! I just had to write a few lines because I am so excited I was even able to get that far:) I am "new technology" challenged and … Wow! what an experience so far! I finally set up my web hosting and managed to find the WordPress One Click! Really not as easy as I have been reading on all the other blogs. Or maybe I am just more challenged than I thought!
So far I can write this post and that is pretty much it (and it may have taken me quite a few hours to get there!) . I checked some of the site set up (appearance, plugins, pages…) but I am getting a little overwhelmed right now. wonder if there is a spell check for post? I really hope so.
So here is to my first step towards setting my blog. Now you will just have to join me in my journey to making this a real blog. I don't think you will be able to send me comments yet, I don't know how to set it up.
And yes I could call the service desk and get help…but have to go get dinner ready:)

PS: Had to copy and paste this blog because apparently I was in the admin part of the site…this is going to be fun!:)

What Happens At 3am
Somewhere around the globe at this very moment, couples are snuggling in bed, a teen is watching TV, a father is catching the last train home, someone's getting a punch on their face for not being 'cool' or burning their tongues while sipping their black coffees. But I, however, is still up doing things I should not be doing at 3 in the fucking morning. Here's what I do at 3am:
- Write endless drafts on my blog and not being able to finish a post because my scumbag brain decides to think about a new post. And if I don't write my ideas down, in 3 minutes they'll vanish. O pity me.
- Google Mochi Ice Cream because I'm craving one now and I wish to have one this instant. So I google the recipes and find out that I don't have the ingredients at home so I would google again for alternatives. But then I would find out that there are no alternatives, so I would just crawl back into my bed and look at more photos of food and torture myself.
- Found a new TV show (2 Broke Girls) to be obsessed with on Cucirca.com, I'd lay here and wait for the video to load. But then, I would find another show and load that on a separate window. Then I am trapped in a dilemma of choosing which show to continuously watch for the rest of the night, leaving me with 2 Broke Girls playing and regrets for closing Mad Men.
- Make Easy DIYs I found on YouTube like stackable bracelets or Cut Off Your T-Shirt Into a Cropped Top.
- Learn how to Pole Dance with YouTube, without an actual pole.
- Read Twitter feeds and check who's having a rough time sleeping early, favorite and re-tweet their posts and not worry for being the only person battling with sleep issues.
- Scare myself with thoughts that I'm dying, which only makes me wrap myself with the blanket like a sushi and bury my head with the pillow.
- Think about all the ghost stories people have told me and all the horror movies I've watched, and makes me wrap myself tighter and stay that way until I can finally think about something else.
- Worry. Will I like my new course? Will my new classmates like me? Will they make friends with me? Will my money last me through the week of drinking and eating so much food that I now have a food baby? Will I ever get married? Should I tell this guy I like him? Should I go out with him? Should I say yes?
- Tell myself to start working out tomorrow, but spend the next day watching videos of people working out. (is that weird? I guess so)
- Make plans for tomorrow. Like, go to the beach or illegally download movies and albums, write a really powerful blog post that would make it to the Freshly Pressed page or eat a Bento box.
- Talk to my puppy because I don't have anyone to talk to... at 3am.
- Think about all the plans I thought about last night that I didn't get to do today and blame myself for being too lazy.
- Re-call funny moments with friends and laugh out loud very quietly.
- Sing songs in my head, or maybe hum a little.
- Yawn.
- Yawn a little more.
- Rub my eyes.
- Have a genius idea when I'm about to fall asleep, then I'll tell myself to remember it in the morning. But I wake up and... I forget.
- Not do anything productive.

One of the biggest problems candidates have is that they run out of time and this is the problem I am facing. A few people have mentioned repeating the same lab again and again. One of my colleagues here said he was able to do a full lab in 30 minutes….. wow … now that is super fast. e.g. you would get a set of labs (lets say 1,7,8,9,10, 11 & 13) and repeat time several times. Having said that, others believe it is best to get as many different flavour of labs and then just do them once. I'm still thinking of my best approach and will decide which is the best one for me later this week.

Politics & Government
California limits workers' compensation for out-of-state athletes
Professional athletes will have to prove they played a substantial chunk of their career for California teams to claim disability benefits under a law Gov. Jerry Brown signed Tuesday.
Supporters of Assembly Bill 1309 by Assemblyman Henry Perea, D-Fresno, argued that professional athletes have exploited California's overly generous workers' compensation system, seeking disability benefits even when they played for out-of-state teams and rarely took the field in California.
With the new law in place, former athletes will be eligible for California workers' compensation only if they played a minimum of either two years or 20 percent of their career for California-based teams, a threshold that is significantly lower than what the original version called for. The legislation sailed through the Legislature, overcoming a handful of "no" votes along the way.
"Our workers' compensation system will no longer be unfairly targeted by out-of-state professional athletes, and California businesses will finally be protected from these claims," Perea said in a statement. "This legislation has come a long way from its introduction and provides a fair, balanced and practical approach which still allows former California athletes to file here."
An alliance of California teams backed the bill, including the Oakland Athletics, Los Angeles Clippers and San Diego Chargers. Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association, the National Football League and the National Hockey League also came out in favor.
On the other side of the debate stood unions representing professional athletes, including the National Football League Players Association, the National Basketball Players Association and other major labor organizations. As part of an unsuccessful campaign to defeat the bill, current and past professional football players gathered on the steps of the state Capitol earlier this year and urged lawmakers not to sever the flow of benefits players have come to rely on after years of having their bodies battered.
"We feel this is an injustice to pro athletes," said Steve Smith, a spokesman for the California Labor Federation. "They have short-lived careers and often lifelong injuries as a result of the work they do."

Weekly update – 04 April
A relatively quiet weekend saw various Tigers taking the opportunity to galavant and rest their weary feet, wrists and vocal chords before the final run-in.
You can always rely on T3 for some entertainment though, turning out against City3 in another attempt to clamber up the relegation cliff-face and away from the croc-infested waters below. They hauled themselves up in a close-fought first half, only to lose their grip after half time. They clung fiercely though, hovering above the snapping jaws with some fine running from Harj, shooting from Nanon, stepping into the feed from Steve, darting from Sam, general mayhem from Keira and Jerram, limping from Neha and some hardcore smiling from Alex (or was it grimacing?) City won 12-8 though, so the relegation play-offs seem likely – possibly against City 4 but we will know more after this weekend.

Mark Story: Catching up with the most significant UK football player ever — Babe Parilli
It is 64 seasons since Vito "Babe" Parilli last wore a Kentucky Wildcats football uniform in a game.
At 85, Parilli, UK's star quarterback during Bear Bryant's golden era of Wildcats football, lives far from the commonwealth in the metropolitan Denver area.
Even so, Parilli still watches the Wildcats play every chance he gets. "My problem is, I don't have that SEC channel," Parilli says of the SEC Network. "But I watch every (UK) game that's on a channel I can get."
In the commonwealth, there will always be mystique connected to the name Babe Parilli. Before or since Parilli, UK has never had a quarterback do the things that "the Kentucky Babe" did during his three years (1949-51) as the Wildcats starter.
In its entire history, Kentucky has played in three major bowls — once each in the Orange, Sugar and Cotton bowls. Parilli, a product of Rochester, Pa., was the UK starting QB in each.
During what became an 11-1 UK season in 1950, Parilli threw 23 touchdown passes and led the Cats past No. 1 Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl. The following year, when Kentucky beat TCU in the Cotton Bowl, Parilli threw 19 TDs.
To put that in perspective, from the time Parilli left UK until Tim Couch threw for 37 touchdowns in Hal Mumme's Air Raid in 1997, no Kentucky QB ever threw for more than 11 TDs (Rick Norton in 1965 and Bill Ransdell in 1984) in a season.
"The Babe was a great quarterback," says Ed Hamilton, 85, who lettered as a UK running back in the three seasons Parilli was the Kentucky starter. "He was a great passer. He was very deceptive with doing the routines, you know, one guy would come by and you don't give him the ball, but wait and give it to the next guy. And the Babe was well-liked by everybody, including his coach."
Bryant trusted Parilli to call the plays on the field.
"I spent a lot of time with Bear Bryant," Parilli says. "Every day, I spent the noon hour with him where we would go over the strategic game plan. I called all the plays. He didn't need to send in plays — he had me programmed to do what he would have done in any situation. Third-and-four, second-and-five, any situation, he had me programmed to think the way he thought."
In high school in Rochester, Pa., Parilli had been a single-wing fullback on a team whose star halfback, Richard "Skippy" Doyle, was getting most of the recruiting attention. Parilli says a rival high school coach tipped Kentucky that the Babe — so nicknamed as a newborn by his godmother — was an undervalued stock.
"I'd been leaning to Indiana," Parilli said. "Then Bear Bryant came up to recruit me."
By choosing Kentucky, Parilli subjected himself to Bryant's — how should we put this? — rigorous preseason training regimens. If your memory of the Bear is the grandfatherly man in the houndstooth hat from his latter years at Alabama, that was not the fierce, physically imposing Bear Bryant of the Kentucky days.
"Everything you've heard, well, it was probably worse," Parilli says. "We'd have three scrimmages a week. One of my teammates swears there were 109 freshmen who started out with us and 12 of us who finished up as seniors. It was tough. He (Bryant) was tough."
In his UK days, Bryant would take his football teams to the Millersburg Military Institute for preseason camp.
"That was really rough. It was crazy, to be honest about it," says Hamilton. "He'd get us up at 6 o'clock every morning. By 6:30, we'd be doing the 'eye opener' — a drill where you were tackling one-on-one, just hitting as hard as we could. It seemed like that (drill) would never stop. Guys were leaving every day, catching the bus back to Lexington, then taking the train back to where they were from."
With Parilli quarterbacking for Bryant, UK went 28-8. Yet, even then, the Cats couldn't beat Tennessee.
In Parilli's three starts against UT and General Robert Neyland's wide-tackle six defense, Kentucky went 0-3 and never scored a touchdown. Particularly galling for Parilli was UK going to Knoxville in 1950 with a 10-0 record only to lose 7-0 in a game played in eight-degree weather with four inches of snow.
"I felt like we were the better team that year," Parilli says. "But it was so cold, all that ice, it was the great equalizer."
After that painful loss, Kentucky was nevertheless invited to the Sugar Bowl to face No. 1 Oklahoma. Parilli threw a TD pass, then set up UK's second score with a throw as the Cats upset the Sooners 13-7 to snap OU's 31-game winning streak.
That still stands as the greatest win in Wildcats football history.
Parilli left UK having finished fourth in Heisman Trophy voting in 1950, then third in 1951.
He went on to play 15 years of professional football, before becoming a coach. Parilli moved to Denver in the 1970s when he was hired as a Broncos assistant. He fell in love with Colorado's natural beauty and has made it his residence since.
However, the iconic Kentucky Wildcats quarterback makes it back to Lexington each summer to play in the Children's Charity Classic golf tournament.
"The best thing I ever did in my life," Babe Parilli says, "was come to the University of Kentucky."

The anglers of the TNCBA were dealt some difficult weather conditions for their opener on Cherokee Lake this past Saturday. The morning prior to the tournament saw heavy rains move through the Morristown area and the results were very apparent come Saturday morning. As anglers launched their boats from the 25-E ramp, the water temperature was around 43 degrees and the water was very stained. Anglers gathered at the mouth of Turkey Creek and anticipation could be felt by everyone as boat numbers were called and the 2014 TNCBA season began.
Boats seemed to be split about which direction they wanted to go on Cherokee Lake and the upper end and lower end were like night and day differences. Anglers that headed down towards the dam found very clear, cold water out on the main lake. Temperatures were reported to be in the 40-41 degree range and there were no reports of fish being caught below German Creek. Anglers heading up towards the river, discovered heavily stained water and water temperatures in the upper 40's. The TNCBA anglers were also facing a post front scenario with high blue bird skies and little wind.
David Crockett and David Oiler were able to jump out to an early lead as they had 5 bass by 9 am and no one else would be able to come close. Oiler and Crockett caught some of their early bass on a silver buddy and then they switched to a crankbait to finish out their catch of 16.10 lbs. The second place team of Bob Harvey and Robert Chatman spent most of their day below 25-E and rode their crankbait bite to a catch of 8.30 lbs. Ryan Pope and Wiley Gobble made good decisions throughout the day as they moved from the cold clear water of the lower end, to the warm stained water of mid-lake. Pope and Gobble abandoned their A-Rig and jerkbait tactics for for a medium diving crankbait which led them to a 7.57 lbs catch and a third place finish.
Reports from other anglers revealed that the mud and sunny weather had moved fish shallower than many had expected and eliminated the chance of an A-Rig or jerkbait bite. As the TNCBA prepares for their second tournament in March, the club will more than likely be greeted by a much warmer and higher Cherokee Lake. The month of March often leads to lots of rain and stained water where a squarebill crankbait will have the opportunity to shine as heavy females begin to move into the shallow staging areas. The first one is out of the way and now it is time to settle in and focus on the TNCBA AOY. Consistency is key and the most important thing is putting fish in the boat at each tournament.
Get out and do some fishing!
-God Bless-

MACoM Hopes to Refresh Pool of Support
Community mikvah takes the plunge on its first honor dinner.
The Atlanta Jewish community will have the opportunity Thursday, March 16, to support and learn about the Metro Atlanta Community Mikvah while honoring the two rabbis largely responsible for making it a reality: Alvin Sugarman and Joshua Heller.
"The evening will be a chance to celebrate what we have accomplished," said Rabbi Heller, the senior rabbi at Congregation B'nai Torah. "I think even many of those who are coming don't have the full picture of what an incredible place MACoM is and will have the opportunity to learn more."
MACoM, which opened in November 2015, is an independent nonprofit open to the entire Atlanta Jewish community. The collaborative and inclusive nature of the project inspired many to get involved with it.
"The reason I supported the mikvah is because it's a community mikvah," said benefactor Mike Leven, who will serve as the master of ceremonies at the March 16 event at the Georgia Aquarium, where he is the CEO.
"MACoM is one of only a handful of community mikvot in the country," said Janet Lavine, the incoming president of The Temple, who is co-chairing the event. "It promotes the concept of spiritual renewal and purification in a much broader way than is usually associated with a mikvah."
"Now we have a place that anybody can go to, in any way that they believe, and even for some who don't," Leven said of MACoM.
Because the Jewish community today is "incredibly divided," he added, the mikvah is even more important. "Anything today that helps to unify the Jewish people is important for Jewish continuity."
Leven credits Rabbis Heller and Sugarman for bringing that unity to Atlanta through MACoM. "They are two rabbis who represent the best of what the community has to offer in terms of unifying the Jewish world."
Barbara LeNoble, the executive director of MACoM, said those two men were pivotal in bringing the Jewish community together through the mikvah.
"Without Rabbis Alvin M. Sugarman and Joshua Heller, there would be no mikvah," she said. "What they did together is just incredible. The two of them had a shared vision and mission, and that mission was to create a community mikvah that would attract Jews from a variety of spectrums."
It's a vision they still share.
"It is genuinely a true Jewish communal effort and a place for the Jewish community to grow and learn and participate," said Rabbi Sugarman, who has emeritus status at The Temple.
"I don't think you will find any other project or activity in Atlanta that has so many different rabbis and congregations and individuals involved," said Rabbi Heller, who heads the Atlanta Rabbinical Association.
That is why they wanted to make MACoM independent of any congregation, even though it was built on B'nai Torah ground and replaced that congregation's mikvah.
"For this really to be everything that it could be, it couldn't be one shul owning it. It had to be that anyone who wanted to felt like they could have a share in it," Rabbi Heller said. "I wanted this to be something where many different Jews and many different synagogues could come together and share together, in a way that they could never have done on their own."
Both rabbis expressed nothing but admiration for each other and for the role the other played in making MACoM a reality.
"It's very meaningful to me to be honored with Rabbi Sugarman, who was a mentor, a partner and a cheerleader," Rabbi Heller said.
Rabbi Sugarman said Rabbi Heller was integral in creating MACoM.
"This would not be a reality without his absolute commitment," Rabbi Sugarman said. "He's the one that has done the work and has never given up. He's been absolutely terrific. … I cannot say enough praise for Josh Heller for his work in general, but specifically for his absolute dedication to the success of MACoM."
Planners and supporters hope the Mitzvah for the Mikvah event will help ensure the facility's continued success beyond raising money to pay off any debt from the construction and building costs and honoring Rabbis Sugarman and Heller.
"Hopefully, attendees will acknowledge the two individuals who worked tirelessly to create MACoM here in Atlanta, they will see that MACoM is indeed an important community resource for Jews in Atlanta of all denominations, and they will see the broader role of mikvah as an ancient tradition that can elevate and enhance the spirituality of key life changes in our present day," Lavine said.
During the event, attendees will hear from four people who have used the mikvah for different purposes. LeNoble hopes those presentations will inspire others and "open them up to the possibility of what the mikvah can be to themselves and to their families."
People go to MACoM for many reasons, both traditional and nontraditional, Rabbi Sugarman said: the final step in a conversion process, the beginning or ending of chemotherapy, major life changes such as divorce or the death of a spouse, before weddings, and more.
"Someone who is Reform, Conservative and Orthodox can each come and use that space in a way that is meaningful to them," Rabbi Heller said. "It is used by over 20 congregations as a central resource for over 100 people a year converting to Judaism."
LeNoble sees firsthand the impact of a dip in the mikvah. She said people often come in rushed and stressed and leave calm and smiling.
"No one has left that isn't just transformed and very positive. I think that's something that I've enjoyed seeing," LeNoble said. "It's not so much about religion, but more about the spiritual transformation that can happen from doing this. … It's an incredibly powerful way to ignite one's foundation in life, and the benefits can last for a while."
MACoM's biggest impact lies ahead, Rabbi Heller said. "Every month, new people are learning the meaning of mikvah as a Jewish spiritual practice and finding ways to make it part of their own approach to Judaism, whether through traditional or innovative uses."
Rabbi Sugarman remembers growing up at The Temple when no one had a bar or bat mitzvah celebration. He remembers being an assistant rabbi at The Temple's first bar mitzvah. Now b'nai mitzvah services at The Temple are "the norm."
That is what he hopes MACoM does for mikvah.
"I hope that it's part of the normal cycle of Jewish life that many, many, many families simply accept," Rabbi Sugarman said. "That it becomes just a norm."

How to Fix a Bird Bath/
How to Fix a Bird Bath
"...I have an old bird bath I love but the top has broken and now doesn't hold water. Is there a way I can easily fix it? I am NOT handy at all...." -- Susan
Hi Susan, there are no guarantees but it's worth investing in a small container of ready mix concrete and see what you can do.
I had a similar bird bath that literally came apart after I tried to repair it with concrete. When the old part of the bird bath fell away, I was left with a new top that was literally rough around the edges.
Armed with a small container of ready mix concrete and a level, I added a finished rim to the bird bath so now it will hold water. It may take a few days for the concrete the dry all of the way through so I try to stay away from knocking into it.
It helps to have a small container of water handy as you're working with the ready made concrete. The water allows you to wet the concrete and easily reshape it.
Here's my old bird bath with the top still drying:
The rocks? I keep rocks and twigs in my bird baths to give my honeybees safe landing spots, they are also looking for water in record hot summer days.

Etihad Airways, Etihad Airport Services, airberlin, Air Serbia, Air Seychelles, Alitalia and Jet Airways have together taken a new step forward in their strategic business development through this unique fund-raising initiative.

Lahore : Member National Assembly Hamza Shahbaz has said that general elections should be held in time and if delayed then it would be harmful for democracy as well as political parties.
He said that the continuity in the policies was imperative and pause in the democratic process would not be in the national interest of the country.
While talking to media at the residence of deceased Ch. Liaqat Ali Khan MPA from PP 20 Chakwal, Hamza Shahbaz said that unfortunately Pakistan is standing at dual way and on one hand facing the challenge of terrorism while on the other side those who are enemies of development and progress with the help of China.
Replying a question, Hamza Shahbaz said that Mian Nawaz Sharif has presented himself before the Trial Court and now justice should dispensed at all costs. He said that Pakistan Muslim League (N) is fully united under the leadership of Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif and he will be successful through courts.
Hamza Shahbaz said that during Martial Law he solely fronted courts and faced accountability of the regime.
In Chakwal Hamza Shahbaz met the family of Ch. Liaqat Ali Khan PML (N) MPA from PP 20 who died some days before.
He offered fateha and prayed that may Allah Almighty rest the departed soul in eternal peace and grant courage and strength to the members of the bereaved family to bear this loss with fortitude.
Hamza Shahbaz admired the political services of Ch. Liaqat Ali Khan rendered for the area. Her wife MNA Mrs. Iffat Liaqat and sons Ch. Haider Sultan and Shehryar Sultan were present who thanked Hamza Shahbaz for visiting Chakwal.

Tainted MP Ghosh names Mamata in Saradha scam
Saradha CEO Sudipta Sen was close to the chief minister, Ghosh said, adding that Sudipta Sen created media houses to help Mamata become the Prime Minister.
"Madam, I am setting up my media house in a way that it helps you become the PM", This is what Sudipta Sen told Mamata," Ghosh said, reported Times of India.
The CID probe into the Saradha scam is a fake , Kunal said. Saradha Ceo Sen had disappeared hours after the scam was unearthed. This shows everything was pre-planned, said Ghosh.
Ghosh alleged that the investigation is done as per directed by a 'high-above', indicating Mukul Roy. "I want Rajiv Kumar (Bidhannagar Police commissioner), who takes orders from Mukul Roy, to arrest me. I will not plead for anticipatory bail," Ghosh said.
Ghosh cried foul and said he is being made scapegoat while the real culprits are being 'worshipped' in the state. Ghosh added that he will write to prime minister demanding a CBI probe into the case.
Ghosh said police have threatened to arrest him if he doesn't tell them where the Saradha money has been invested. "I know nothing about Sen's funds. So it is not possible for me to give such details. I am not disturbed with the agencies questioning me. I am hurt because those who I trusted have backstabbed me," he said.
Ghosh said he wanted the investigators to find out whose envoy met Sudipta Sen before the letter was written to CBI. "I am sure Sen was compelled to write the letter to CBI. It was not his deliberate decision. Even his disappearance into a village in UP was preplanned," Ghosh claimed.
However, Trinamool leaders chose not to respond to Ghosh's statements. "He (Kunal Ghosh) is currently under suspension. We choose not to respond to his comments," said party spokesperson Derek O'Brien.
Rebel Trinamool MP Somen Mitra backed Ghosh's demand to have a CBI enquiry. .

Author: Jessica Johnson
Institution: University of Washington
On February 3rd 2016, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in the United States deemed Mitochondrial Replacement Techniques (MRT) as ethically permissible and gave a green light for MRT clinical trials. While this medical technique is critical for women with mitochondrial diseases to have healthy children, the committee's decision has brought up multiple ethical discussions.
Women with mitochondrial diseases have the possibility of passing their disease on to their children. Fathers do not face this risk because mitochondrial DNA is only passed on through the maternal line and is separate from nuclear DNA.
Mitochondrial diseases can cause a wide range of complications including muscle weakness, loss of muscle, eye problems, and retarded growth.
To prevent the inheritance of these sometimes fatal mitochondrial diseases, scientists have developed Mitochondrial Replacement Techniques. MRT replaces the faulty mitochondrial DNA and inserts healthy mitochondrial DNA in its place. In the process, a woman's eggs are collected and the mitochondrial DNA is removed. A donor egg's healthy mitochondria are then inserted into the woman's eggs, after which the modified eggs can be fertilized and inserted into the woman attempting to conceive.
MRT is a seemingly straightforward genetic replacement therapy, but here's the catch: MRT requires a donor egg from a healthy individual who is not the mother. MRT uses healthy mitochondrial DNA from a donor egg to replace the problematic mitochondrial DNA in the egg. In essence, any child born from this technique has genetic material from three individuals: their father, their mother, and the healthy donor.
The ethical debates surrounding MRT center on the idea of "three parents" to an offspring. The affect such alterations could have on future generations has not been studied. As a result, the ICM has proposed only male children be conceived and treated with MRT to avoid passing on the altered mitochondrial DNA. This could prevent the altered mitochondrial DNA from causing complications in future generations.
IOM also recommends that scientists track the lifelong health of children born through this method. This recommendation has raised concerns because it forces unborn children into a lifelong tracking procedure without their consent. However, if such tracking procedures are not implemented, the long-term effects of MRT may be difficult to determine.
The people who will benefit from MRT are not as numerous as the widespread news coverage might suggest. Mitochondrial diseases are fairly rare in the human population, only occurring in approximately 8.5 people per 100,000. In addition, many of these mitochondrial diseases are a result of issues with the nuclear DNA, not the mitochondrial DNA, thus making MRT ineffective on those individuals.
Allowing MRT to go to clinical trials is a bold move on the part of the IOM. Such a decision opens up discussion about allowing more gene therapy techniques to enter clinical trials. The public will continue to discuss the ethical implications of gene therapy techniques such as MRT, and this discussion is crucial for the future of afflicted individuals who cannot otherwise have healthy children.

struth you were quick mate, i'd just cut the list out and came over to paste...ReplyDelete
that's cool, thanks.
the sub heading alone gets POTD! awesome!
i can't argue with any of your player reviews too.
There is pressure on Hauritz, and i'll stand by my call of him being a very good (not great) ODI bowler; but i doubt his test ability. that said, given his efforts of late, i'd love to be wrong and see him a real top tour and come into his own. he said some months ago he was working on a doosra, i'd love to see get some wix with it in Ashes cricket without chucking.
Hodge/Siddons should just go out get trashed and sh!t all over the front door of CA!
Hodges ommission is tantamount to national treason! if we lose the Ashes through lack of runs, that will be THE reason why.

I think Bollinger has been pretty unlucky - I don't think Hilfy has done enough to warrant selection over Bolly. Hussey surely has to bat for his spot now: he'll get picked in the first 11 and if he doesn't make runs by the end of the third test he has to be dropped (I think he should be dropped anyway).ReplyDelete
Agreed on Lee but I think he'll do well actually, he's had some bowling under his belt and the two tour games will give a better indication of how he'll go bowling 20 overs in a day.
I hope North gets a go ahead of Watson - Watson still hasn't bowled at all and he surely can't get picked to bat at 6 ahead of North.
My 11 (from the touring party only as I would have Hodge in):
12th man - Lee/Watson
I must say I'm not too impressed with the 16 so ideally the above would look different. I think we're short a batsman (in the 16) and I'd rather not have McDonald in (the 11) as I'm not sure he can bat but since Watson isn't bowling I can't justify his presence: McDonald will definitely get overs in contrast.
- leftriteout20 May 2009 at 12:22 pm
One last thing on Hodge. Why the hell give the guy a contract if you're not going to take him on tour? Surely you'd contract a younger bloke if you want someone on the payroll should a spot arise: ie develop the next test generation. I was sure they must have wanted him in the squad as he is 34 and batting well. It's not like bowlers who are more prone to injuries so you have extras spare.ReplyDelete
i don't think either Bolly or Hilf have set the world on fire and guaranteed their use, but they both swing the ball each way and swingers are winners in Blighty. just look at the figures of Anderson in the last WI test... and to be brutal, he is NOT world class anywhere else in the world!ReplyDelete
the other thing with Watson is, not only is he more knackered than a jumps nag, but even now he has a niggling calf or achilles or something... always something!ReplyDelete
and as Lefty said, "if he isn't bowling..." then Ronald only has to bowl bugger all if the other bowlers are finding form. In fact if Lee, Johnson, Siddle and Clark all find form and effectivness, then why do we need an all rounder? there is enough in the batting stocks to bowl change over overs and tweekers with that bowling line up on-song.
or if Hauritz is bowling well too, the above pace team and Haury, no all-rounder.
don't get me wrong, i'm a fan of all rounders, but...
same line up as Lefty too.ReplyDelete
but with Lee 12th man and if he gets form i'd drop MacDonald (unless he is dominating) push the lin up up one spot from Ronalds and slot Lee after Johnson.

Hodge has been the unfortunate victim of horrific timing of his career and also some petulant batting at stages of his Shield career.ReplyDelete
I have to admit it was always going to be hard to dislodge the likes of Martyn, Ponting, M.Waugh, S.Waugh and Langer but I truly believe Katich was given a go because he was from the chosen land (NSW). It has always been that Victorians must score twice as many runs and take twice as many wickets to get a look in. You only have to look back at the Victorians that have played for Australia in the last 30 years. They seldom play only a handful of tests. Having worked so hard to get in the side they were never going to let it slip. I refer to Merv, Deano, Fleming and Reiffel. When the opportunities arose it was always assumed it would be Hodges turn but it always went elsewhere. It's a wonder he didn't feed himself a lead salad.
Michael Clarke while solid now is hardly the revelation that he was once hailed as and did not deserve the chances he got. The selectors had him pinned as the next captain and a barely standard performance was going to be enough to clinch it for him. A pretty boy he is and cynical as it sounds CA thinks it will be good for the appeal of the game. Border, Taylor, Waugh and Ponting don't have that appeal. Clarke is not even the captain of his state.
so if they 'need' a NSW VC, should Kat get it?ReplyDelete
- Nospmas Lihp20 May 2009 at 3:18 pm
I wouldn't be surprised.ReplyDelete
- leftriteout20 May 2009 at 4:41 pm
I reckon we'll see fire from Lee in the tour matches and he'll get a gurnsey. I'm ok with that if he is bowling well - put him in. I agree that this would come at the expense of McDonald rather than one of the other bowlers. The problem with that is Haddin moves up to number 6. He is good enough in my mind and if you're top 5 batsmen don't make runs they're not doing their job. Then Johnson takes the allrounder position!ReplyDelete
yeah, i hope he does fire, that is why when putting him in the line up he was after Jonno.ReplyDelete
Lee, Jonno, Hey-diddle and Clark would be an awesome line up if they fired together!
i say the best pace team in the world if it happened; such balance and aggression!
3 fast bowler (with a lefty!) and a marksman!ReplyDelete
jonno's proved the finger breaker, but i'd hate more to be caught over the top of one of Hey-diddles rising sharply off the track the way he can!ReplyDelete
- leftriteout20 May 2009 at 5:50 pm
Actually, that does look a pretty good attack doesn't it! See off Johnson and Lee and then you get Siddle trying to kill you while Clark gives you nothing. Let's hope the four of them play together all firing and watch Cook and Strauss running for coverReplyDelete
Siddle trying to kill you! that is awesome to the power of RADReplyDelete
- leftriteout21 May 2009 at 1:09 pm
Outside sledge - where are you dude?ReplyDelete
I know it's footy season but the roos are playing rubbish at the moment - get on board bro!

If anyone saw the footy show last night they'll know how competitive Ricky Ponting is. They did a quiz game and he looked keener to win it than the Ashes!ReplyDelete

I heard Allan Border made a child cry at a shopping centre because he didn't let him win. The compere asked him why he said "Why would I?"ReplyDelete
Mercy is for the weak, or the dying.
classic AB... and totally fair too!ReplyDelete
he should be called up to captain now! much more switched on and ruthless than Punter!

Stupid bloody footy...ReplyDelete
Christ am I having a nightmare?????
Brett Lee in our test squad? WHAT?????
The same Brett Lee that averages over 40 in test in Pomgolia? Not his batting average either. Luckiest bowler, where is he from again?
Imagine facing him: "Shit this is going to go down my leg side at over 150km! or it will be a no ball, what do I do?"
I had to check the squad several times just to be sure that Symonds wasn't in there.
Hodgey, oh poor Hodgey, if only I had a sniper rifle and the selectors addresses to give you.
Hang on, its friday night! Footy is on, gotta run.
I had to
u would "have to run" to catch any roos glory... like a lightening bolt, the goodness is gone b4 u had a chance to see it properly!ReplyDelete

Baby names inspired by winter
There are cool baby names and then there are baby names inspired by the cool. If your baby is due at this time of year you might be considering a moniker to go with the season. We've pulled together a number of ideas for winter babies, inspired by everything from the festive to the freezing.
Baby names that reference snow
Names inspired by wintry weather are incredibly evocative and great if you're looking for something slightly unusual for your yuletide bundle of joy.
For girls:
- Snow – an obvious choice but a brave one
- Aspen – a good unisex option. And aspen is a tree but it's also the name of a rather chic ski resort in Colorado
- Alaska – sticking with geographical ideas, you don't get much more snowy than Alaska
- Neve (or Niamh) – both are derived from the word 'snow'
- Olwen – means 'white footprint' in Welsh
- Lumi – meaning snow in Finnish
- Gwendolen – another Welsh name, meaning 'white circle'
- Eirwen – meaning 'white as snow'
And for boys:
- Frost – inspired by the poet Robert Frost, but a great name for a winter baby boy
- Crispin – deep and Crispin even? No?… OK
- Yukio – Japanese for snow
'Nature' names for winter babies
Feeling chilly yet? If you want to branch out from snow scenes, you could always go for 'Branch', which is apparently a name though we won't be putting any bets on it making the top 10 next year. Here are a few slightly more 'quotidien' names to ponder.
For girls:
- Holly
- Ivy
- Wren
For boys:
- Douglas (as in fir)
- Robin (or Robyn for girls)
- Quilo – refers to the North Wind in Roman mythology. Though we should warn that calling a baby anything that references 'wind' may be asking for trouble
- Storm – was originally a boy's name but now becoming more unisex.
Literary wintry names
If you like a little culture with your baby names book, why not go for something inspired by a wintry play or novel?
You could go Shakespearean for a girl with a name such as Viola or Olivia (both from Will's festively themed Twelfth Night. There's sadly not much 'wintry' about The Winter's Tale but there is a Perdita in it – a lovely choice for a baby girl. Or you could go with Bear (as in "exit pursued by a").
Here are a few more names inspired by winter fiction:
- Clara – from The Nutcracker
- Tim (as in Tiny) or even Ebeneezer if you're plumping for unusual – from A Christmas Carol
- Kay – for Kay Harker in John Masefield's The Box of Delights
- Peter, Edward, Susan or Lucy for a future King of Queen of Narnia
For something more with the zeitgeist, perhaps Elsa to reference the Snow Queen herself, or you could go for a 'winter is coming' Game of Thrones name with a baby Sansa, Arya or Bron. Maybe not a Joffrey – you'll only be storing trouble up for yourself later on.
Biblical names for a Christmas baby
Of course, if you like the idea of a name inspired by a story, you could do worse than a name from The Greatest Story Ever Told:
- Mary
- Joseph
- Gabriel
- Casper (the braver among you may consider Melchior or Balthasar too – did Balthasar Getty no harm)
And there are plenty of names inspired by the Nativity but less directly related. How about:
- Angel
- Joy (or even Comfort – perhaps not both)
- Christian (obvs)
- Natalia – coming from 'Christmas Day' in Latin
- Carol – classic but Christmassy
Or, if you fancy referencing the star in the East, there is an embarrassment of star-related names:
- Aster
- Stella
- Seren
- And of course, simply, Star
Other winter cast members
There are lots more characters associated with winter who might offer inspiration for your baby name:
- Rudolph, or Donna for reindeer name checks. There's a rich seam here, but you'd have to be quite brave to go for Dasher or Dancer
- Jack (as in Frost)
- Nicholas
- Demeter, who, in Greek mythology brought on winter through grieving for her daughter Persephone who spent four months of each year in the Underworld
More names with a frosty feel
- North – it worked for the Kardashians
- Yule
- Noel (or Noela or Noelle for a girl)
- January – increasing in popularity thanks largely to Mad Men's January Jones
- And finally… Winter. Because sometimes you just need a Ronseal option

(Want to get this briefing by email? Here's the sign-up.)
Good morning.
Here's what you need to know:
• In China, all eyes were on the new lineup of the Politburo Standing Committee, the Communist Party's top rung. No new member has the background to become the heir apparent to President Xi Jinping.
Challenging Mr. Xi could now amount to ideological heresy, as the party's revised Constitution effectively puts him on par with Mao.
Globally, Mr. Xi has positioned his country as a stable alternative to an increasingly inward-looking U.S. Domestically, his unease with the rise of outspoken entrepreneurs could end up hurting economic growth.
Separately, the fate of a Chinese-born Swedish publisher who disappeared in Thailand two years ago and reappeared in a Chinese jail took another strange twist: he's missing.
• In Washington, feuds between President Trump and Senate Republicans dominated the news cycle.
Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona strongly criticized "the coarseness of our leadership" in a much-noted speech, in which he announced that he would not run for re-election.
Also, the Senate approved a $36.5 billion package to aid recovery efforts from recent hurricanes and wildfires. A month after Hurricane Maria hit the island, Puerto Ricans are still being forced to get creative to survive.
Mr. Trump signed an executive order resuming the admission of refugees to the United States under tighter security screening.
• The Clinton campaign and the Democratic Party paid for research that was included in a dossier compiled by Christopher Steele, above, a former British spy, on President Trump's ties to Russia, according to a new court filing.
Meanwhile, YouTube is drawing scrutiny in the U.S. over its once-cozy relationship with RT, a state-owned Russian news channel.
And Britain's Parliament is asking internet giants including Facebook about potential efforts by Moscow to influence voters in last year's referendum on leaving the European Union.
• Nicaragua announced that it will join the Paris Climate Accord, leaving only Syria and the U.S. opposed to it.
Extreme weather like this summer's heat wave in Europe is making olive oil production far more erratic across the Mediterranean. (Above, an olive harvest near Florence.) And a group of winemakers expects the lowest global harvest in grapes since 1961 this year. In France, the harvest is said to be the smallest since 1945.
If the world's nations take no action on global warming, extremely hot days are expected to become much more commonplace.
• Anne Frank's diary will be read at soccer matches across Italy this week amid a national outcry when some fans in Rome used the Holocaust victim's image to taunt their rivals. (Above, Inter's captain Mauro Icardi signs a copy of the book at a match in Milan.)
In other sports news, the two best teams in North American baseball — the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Houston Astros — clashed in Game 1 of the 113th World Series. The Dodgers prevailed.
And as the tennis season nears its end, there's a hidden agenda among players: year-end rankings and the bonuses that go with them.
• The European Parliament demanded a five-year phase out of glyphosate-based herbicides. E.U. member countries are deliberating today on a Commission proposal to extend the license for glyphosate by 10 years.
• In the U.S., a projection of the work force in 2026 foresees greater polarization by wages, education and geography.
• An "army" of lobbyists met with U.S. lawmakers in a show of force against President Trump's efforts to scrap the North American Free Trade Agreement.
• Here's a snapshot of global markets.
In the News
• Iraqi troops and Kurdish separatists clashed in two towns where Kurds said they repulsed attacks and killed and captured Iraqi soldiers. Above, Kurdish forces withdraw from a checkpoint near Irbil. [The New York Times]
• Russia blocked an extension of the mandate of a U.N. panel investigating chemical weapons attacks in Syria. [The New York Times]
• Kenya's Supreme Court agreed to hear a last-minute petition that may delay the rerun of the country's presidential election scheduled for Thursday. [The New York Times]
• Alternative for Germany, the first far-right party to sit in the country's legislature in decades, began its tenure by challenging the Parliament's tradition of consensus. [The New York Times]
• Ksenia Sobchak, a Russian socialite, opened her presidential campaign by saying that she wanted to eradicate corruption, but she declined to elaborate on fund-raising, saying only that she has deep-pocketed financial backers. [The New York Times]
• The fallout from Harvey Weinstein's decline after allegations of sexual harassment surfaced has also put the spotlight on Fabrizio Lombardo, an associate of the movie producer in Italy. [The New York Times]
• Albert Einstein's handwritten theory of happiness sold for $1.3 million at an auction in Jerusalem. [Associated Press]
Smarter Living
Tips, both new and old, for a more fulfilling life.
• Recipe of the day: Baked chicken tenders will please children and adults alike.
• Here are nine ways to become a better investor.
• The Metropolitan Opera's performance of Thomas Adès's "The Exterminating Angel" features highly unusual instruments, like tiny violins and slamming doors. Watch and listen to their performance in our latest 360 video, above.
• A new study confirms research by Jane Goodall, who found about 60 years ago that chimpanzees had personality traits similar to those found in humans.
• Some guide dogs are being trained to help guide visually impaired runners in road races — and maybe, one day, in a marathon.
• In Marrakesh, the textile designer Valerie Barkowski has found arid beauty and timeless serenity. "In Europe it's cold and you are surrounded by elaborate elegance," she says. "Here, how much do you really need?"
Back Story
If you live in an urban area, you've likely come across — or been bumped into by — people who walk with their eyes glued to their phones.
In Honolulu, those "smartphone zombies" can now face fines of up to $99.
A law goes into effect there today that bans pedestrians from crossing the road while looking at their devices. The Hawaiian capital passed the measure as an effort to reduce accidents caused by "distracted walking."
The ban is thought to be the first of its kind among major U.S. cities.
"Sometimes I wish there were laws we did not have to pass — that perhaps common sense would prevail," Mayor Kirk Caldwell said. "But sometimes we lack common sense."
Pedestrian deaths in the U.S. climbed to 5,987 in 2016 — the highest since 1990 — and a report cites smartphone-related distraction as a potential factor.
Several cities have attempted to tackle pedestrians' urge to tweet, text and swipe.
An announcement on Hong Kong's escalators advises: "Don't keep your eyes only on your mobile phone."
And temporary "text walking lanes" have been set up in Washington, Philadelphia and Antwerp, Belgium. But in most cases, pedestrians didn't notice the markings. They were too consumed by their phones.

In this series we will provide a quick bio on the Rebel Venture Fund board members. The RVF board consists of local angel investors, attorneys, entrepreneurs, business executives and UNLV faculty who help to oversee our investment process. We are very grateful to all of our board members for the time they spend supporting RVF.
To kick off our RVF "Meet the Board" series we spoke with serial investor and entrepreneur, William "Bill" Botts. Bill is semi-retired and keeps himself active by mentoring, sitting on various boards, working with UNLV, and investing in early stage companies.
Bill got involved with the Rebel Venture Fund through his support and relationship with the UNLV Center for Entrepreneurship, and through his former position as Chairman of the Vegas Valley Angels. "I was excited by the opportunity to help shape the Rebel Venture Fund. This can be a truly amazing opportunity for the community, UNLV and the students".
Bill started his career following an education in electrical engineering, nuclear engineering and mathematics from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and UCLA. He spent the first part of his career with Rockwell International, advancing from engineering and project management to the position of Vice President of the Environmental, Utility and Energy Systems Division in Southern California. "This was a very entrepreneurial role within a large corporation focused on "mining" the company's research labs for technology that could be commercialized. Over several years my group built a $50,000,000 per year business in the nuclear, environments and energy fields" states Bill.
After 19 years with Rockwell, Bill decided a change from big corporate structure was needed. He began investing in early stage companies. "This continued for many years and led to me becoming a serial investor in early stage companies. With the experience of having started companies, raising private funding, venture capital, running many successful companies, taking companies public and tuning up and selling other companies; I found that mentoring and assisting less experienced CEO's was both rewarding and challenging."
Bill's favorite companies are consumer products, such as cosmetics. "I very much liked the "marketing" driven environment in which consumer products firms operate. I ran several well-known cosmetics companies and still serve on the board of one".
His recipe for success? "I learned from every adventure and applied what I learned to the next one thus creating my own set of actions and methods that seemed to fit well to each new assignment."
I asked Bill what his favorite thing about the Las Vegas community is. "Our community has a huge diversity of business and technology backgrounds represented by its residents, old and young. If we can tap this talent we can truly become an entrepreneurial and startup community".
Every entrepreneur wants to know what investors advice is to companies raising their first post-friends and family round. Bill's advice? "Don't act like a know-it-all who only needs money to succeed, instead try to be credible with your optimism, forecasts and challenges". I personally agree; some of the best entrepreneurs I've met have exhumed confidence without arrogance, and are realistic when it comes to seeking help when faced with challenges.

This is an opportunity for people on their healing journey to share experiences, successes and challenges in their personal and spiritual development with the IFS model. Newer members can learn from the experience of those who have been around a while, and experienced members benefit from sharing the wisdom they have gained on the path. It is an encouraging and rejuvenating experience for all.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is one of the most profound frameworks for healing and personal growth. My wish is to introduce new people to the work and also to help people who have been doing IFS to connect with each other.
What happens at this event:
We introduce ourselves and how we got to be here. We eat together. We chat some. Then we talk about our experience with IFS and with our work with our own "parts." It's a very warm, open, and supportive environment.
I hope you'll join us. Please RSVP through eventbrite so I know how much food to prepare and nothing need be wasted.
P.S. I have a small and friendly dog named Mr. Shoes, in case you are allergic or dog phobic.

My little guy L O V E S the beach! This is my submission to April's Rock the Shot photo challenge.
I just love his posture as he plays in the surf coming in over Seaside, OR.
This really enjoyable weekend with my little family captured an essence that remains timeless in my memory and my heart. These photographs are not only precious to me, but also was a step forward in my work and accomplishments on a professional and personal level.
I hope you enjoy them as much as we do ..
I've always preferred the sunrise over sunset, but it is a rare occasion that I am out early enough to enjoy it. Sometimes I wonder if my natural clock is set in the tropics of the Pacific; I spent ten days in Kailua on Oahu, loving each moment. This was before my son was born, in 2009 - so I, naturally, planned to fulfill a dream and get up early one morning to watch the sun rise on the East coast.
It wasn't too difficult rolling out of bed at four am (being sure to check for roaches first, of course), as I'd been up at six am each morning - on vacation. Being nine am here on the mainland, I felt like a Goddess there on the island - being able to rise so early with a bounce in my step (prior to an ounce of caffeine) was enlightening and challenged me to fill the day with as many adventures as possible. It also, made me feel like a hundred years old; as while I was rising at six am - I was also crashing around eight - nine pm!
On this particular morning, I woke and crept out to head down duck lane (true story) in the dark; warm salty pacific breeze gently hissed through the palm trees planted between the lanes in the road. This and the lull of my flips shuffling against the pavement, became an unforgettable lullaby under that silent starry night.
At the end of duck lane, the sky began to glow as I turned down a sandy path of overgrown flowers scaling the walls on either side of me. I headed for the East coast somewhere in Kailua, relaxed on an unknown beach, and just as majestically as I had imagined it, gracefully watched the earth rotate, greeting the dawn, with Oahu by Menomena playing in my ear buds.
As those rays pierced across the surf, I became enchanted with the surfers out on the waves. They left just as quickly as I had spotted them; what a beautiful lifestyle, I can only imagine - to say at your eight am shift while in your business suite, that you already went surfing at dawn...
I gathered my things and headed back after a short time; promising that from that minute forth, I would live my life with purpose and ever fulfilling direction - taking one look back upon the graceful glow against the water, I snapped this shot (with my low pixel, point and shoot, early 2000's model no-name brand camera) - blinded to how it actually would turn out.
And to this, I share a gimps in to one of my most savored memories of this lifetime.
