Exactly how to Determine the Source of a Ceiling Leaking
Finding the source of a ceiling leak is quite similar to constructing a puzzle. You may assume it's simple enough, but finding where water is entering into the home or apartment might just be an exercise in trial and error. Where the water gets in the house may not be at the cause of the leakage. Water pursues the easiest path until it reaches the lowest point or obstruction throughout that course where it starts to pool and leak. A comprehensive assessment and getting rid of the most obvious causes is a great starting point when you really want to find the origin of the leak in your ceiling.
Figure out if the leak crops up only during bad weather or is a regular issue storm or shine. If the leak dries out between storms, this is a good evidence that the leak begins somewhere on the roof. The leak most likely comes from a plumbing water supply line if the leak is consistent when it shines or storms.
Inspect the water leaking from the ceiling. There's a great possibility it comes from a leaking plumbing line or fixture if the water appears fresh. If the water is unclean or stains the ceiling, the source might be a leak in the roof.
Get to to the attic and, with a flashlight, find the place where the ceiling is moist between roof joists. You will need to take off any padding in the pathway of the leak. If there is a plumbing line near the leak, for example the supply line for a swamp cooler, check the line for leaks or moisture content.
Look up at the ceiling while in the attic and note any locations where sunlight shines through. Insert a plastic straw through the gap. This will definitely really help you find and repair the hole from atop the roof.
Take a look at the inside of the attic ceiling for water stains or trails. Follow the water trail or stain to its origin. Make note of the area if there are no obvious cavities, as water could be getting under roof flashing and causing the leak.
Check out the roof's exterior. Use a ladder to gain access to the roof.
Check out flashing around chimneys, dormer vents or other roof protuberances. Note if there are any wind-lifted, bulging or raised shingles as leak sources.
Analyze all locations of the roof where two different building materials meet, such as between exterior siding, shingles or flashing. Look for corroded or affected components as causes of ceiling leaks.
Check gutter systems and downspouts for clogs. Backed up discharge water can get underneath flashing and trigger a ceiling to leak.
Things You Will Need
- Flashlight
- Plastic straw
- Step ladder
Safety line and other proper safety equipment
Every year check your roof and re-tar or use roof cement around plumbing vents, attic dormer vents, chimneys and nearly anything that projects through the roof. Yearly repair and maintenance in the spring, fall or summer helps to prevent wintertime leaks.
Work safely when using a ladder. Confirm the ladder is planted securely before climbing. Use rubber-soled shoes when accessing the roof. Tie off a safety line on something secure to break any drops from the roof. Use the appropriate safety equipment.
How to Fix Your Leaking Ceiling
In addition to being an eyesore, leaking ceilings can cause major problems around your home. Here's how to pinpoint and stop your ceiling leaks.
Spotting Your Leak
Wet flooring and brown or dark-colored splotches on your ceiling are common signs of a leak. Leaking ceilings can also cause bubbling paint and wet walls. Address the problem immediately if you notice any of these signs. Ignoring leaks can lead to structural damage and mold and mildew growth.
Pinpointing Your Leak's Origin
The origin of your leak will identify how you fix it. Finding the location of your leak isn't always easy. Water can travel considerable distances before eventually dripping and pooling. Here are three clues that will help you pinpoint the origin of your leak.
Leak Frequency: Drip frequency is a great indicator of your leak's location. Dripping that coincides with showers is usually a sign of a leaking roof. Your leak is likely plumbing-related if you notice a steady flow of water.
Leak Color: The color of the water dripping from your ceiling will also help you find the location of your leak. Clear dripping is usually the sign of an interior plumbing leak.
Insulation Dryness: Attic insulation will also help you find the origin of your leak. Gain access to your attic and feel the top of the insulation covering the leaking portion of your ceiling. If it's dry, your leak is below your insulation. Remove the insulation and look for moisture or signs of damage. The leak is likely located above your insulation in the roof or wall if the top of the insulation is wet.
Fixing Your Leak
It's time to find the exact cause and fix it once you know the general location of your leak. Here's how:
Gain access to your roof and check the leaking area. Sometimes plugging roof leaks isn't DIY-able. Leaks in unusual locations or related to major structural damage are best left to the pros.
Plumbing Leaks: Your home is filled with pipes, which can make pinpointing the origin of your plumbing leak difficult. Here's a quick look at the most common sources of plumbing leaks and how to fix them.
Bathroom Fixtures
If your leak is directly below your bathroom, plumbing fixtures like showers and toilets are likely to blame. To double check, recreate the leak by running your shower or toilet and then checking the open ceiling for leaks. If you see water dripping, you've identified the cause of your leak.
Bathtub Leaks: Begin by checking your bathtub or shower insert for cracks. If you don't notice any damage, run your bath or shower and check your ceiling leak. Call a pro if the leak persists.
Shower Leaks: Spray water along your shower door and inspect your ceiling. If your sliding shower door track is leaking, run a line of caulk along its base. Call a pro if your leaks continue.
Toilet Leaks: Toilets use a wax seal to connect your toilet to your home's plumbing system. Over time, these seals can age or break due to a loose toilet. To check your seal, flush your toilet and then examine your ceiling. If you see a leak, you could have a bad seal. Replace your wax seal to do away with your leak. Call a pro if you continue to have leaks. Sometimes this is a sign of other plumbing problems.
Water Lines
Your home's plumbing lines can corrode or break and cause leaks. If your leak isn't below any major appliance or fixture, it's likely the result of a faulty pipe. Remove the affected drywall to gain access to the affected area. It's best to use a small, handheld saw to clear away wet drywall. Larger saws can damage wiring and other piping. Once the wet drywall is removed, take a look at the piping for obvious signs of damage. Water can run along wires, beams, and pipes, so you may have to search for the source. Once you find the faulty piping, remove the damaged section with a wide pipe cutter. Be sure the blades are rated for your piping's material. Measure and install your new section of piping. Be prepared to solder if you're replacing a copper pipe. Soldering requires working with flammable materials. If you're unsure how to perform this task, call a pro. Soldering mistakes can lead to fires, serious burns, and additional leaks.
If you notice water damage on the ceiling or other signs of a leak, don't assume it's your roof.
As the snow melts, our company gets calls all of the time from customers who have a roof leak and think they know exactly where the water is coming in– usually because there's a water mark on the ceiling or wall. But, did you know roof leaks and the cause of water damage are actually hard to diagnose? In fact, it may not be your roof leaking at all.
At times, ascertaining the cause of a water leak can be difficult. It's a common misconception that the leak originates from directly above that area when there's a stain on the ceiling.
But, water travels. When there's a leak present, water may be traveling down from another area of your home, dripping onto the ceiling, causing you to believe that's the location of the leak. It's best to have an experienced professional get on your roof and in the attic (if applicable) to better determine where the leak is coming from.
There are other factors to consider. Water on your ceiling may be the cause of a variety of things. Regardless, a leak can cause serious issues inside your home.
1. Water pipes dripping or leaking
Plumbing pipes are often in your attic and may either be building up or leaking condensation, causing the water to drip. This happens quite often, leading to a misdiagnosed roof leak. Your specialist should be able to spot this during the examination and recommend an HVAC company who can help.
2. Condensation inside your house
If your house is not properly vented, insulated or has a whole-house humidifier that is set too high, condensation can develop and cause dampness in the home, most especially your attic.
Keep in mind, whole-house humidifiers should not be set at more than 30 percent, per manufacturer guidelines, to avoid this issue.
Moisture in a crawl space can also be a factor. The dampness is invisible and eventually rises through the home, stopping at the roof deck, creating condensation. The use of a sump pump, pea gravel, and other products can help, but contact a professional specialist to assist.
3. Clogged gutters and downspouts
Water has nowhere to go but in if your gutters are clogged! Gutters must be properly maintained so water (and ice in the winter) doesn't back up with the debris.
Consider gutter guards to prevent build-up of debris in your gutters. Not a fan of gutter guards? Our best advice is to simply keep those downspouts and gutters cleaned. It's best to check them every few months.
4. Ice dam
When water from the ice and snow melts, it will more than likely leak right into your home. It simply means, as with clogged gutters, the water has nowhere to go but it in.
Use Roof Melt Tablets to Avoid Ice Dams
Find out what to do when winter storms dump snow and ice on your roof and in your gutters.
Check for these roof repairs
Turns out it was a roof leak? Wait to repair your home's interior. Draw a circle with a pencil around the stain, and see if the spot grows after a few very good rainfalls. If it doesn't, you're most likely pretty safe to move forward.
There are many things we, as house owners, can do to be vigilant in the fight against roof leaks. You can check out your home for the following things before having to call a roofing service provider:
• Look for broken or missing shingles. If you have to get on the roof, safety first. Be sure someone is holding the ladder. Wear the proper attire– shoes with rubber soles are best.
• Peak at your skylight while on the roof or from inside. Look for broken seals or broken edges.
• Check attic insulation level. State minimum (in Indiana) is 13 inches. Take a ruler with you, pop your head up and measure. Insulation and ventilation are very important in allowing your home to breath, reducing the risk of condensation.
• Look for damaged or loose siding. Water can often enter the area causing a leak, most especially with wind-driven rains.
Remember, when in doubt, call a reputable contractor to assist in diagnosing the cause of your problem. Most roof examinations are free of charge.
My Roof is Leaking– What Do I Do and the Dangers of Waiting
No one ever wants to find water leaking from their ceiling. Whether you are home when the leak starts or come home to it, it is important that you take immediate action to avoid further damage to your home.
Contain the Leak
If you find water dripping from a bulges or discoloration in your ceiling, it's likely that water is pooling on the other side of that bulge or dark spot. Grab a pail, trash can, or some other container and place it under the site of the drip or suspected leak. You may even want to consider propping up a board inside the container so the drips hit the board and not the collected water. This will lessen the repetitive dripping sound.
Next, take an old screwdriver, locate the center of the bulge where water is collecting and puncture it right in the middle. It might seem strange to punch a hole in your ceiling to eliminate a leak, the new hole will allow the water to drain smoothly and relieve pressure on the rest of your ceiling. The entire ceiling could collapse if water gathers and pools.
If you are confident you know where the leak is coming from and can safely get to the source, cover the exterior surface with a large tarp. As you may already recognize, unfortunately if your roof is actively leaking due to weather, a roofing expert can not repair the leak until that weather has stopped.
An experienced roofing expert will check out your roof both from the exterior of the roof itself as well as the inside of your home, typically through the attic. Examining the underside of the roof sheeting can show signs of water damage, however it is not a foolproof method so checking out the roof for damage is needed as well.
Dangers of Waiting
It is important to act quickly when it comes to a roof leak. Even if the leak isn't bad. Dodging and disregarding will not fix a leak in your roof.
On the inside, you should look for:
- Dark spots
- Spots where outside sunlight shines through
- Drooping
On the outside, you should keep an eye out for:
• Missing, warped, rotting, flaking, broken, blistering, or buckling shingles
• Blocked or slow-draining gutters/downspouts
• Loose material or wear around vents or chimneys
If your roof is fewer than 15 years old, it can probably be spot-repaired instead of requiring a total replacement. Just remember that a small leak will not go away– it will only get worse.
Roof leaks are typically just signs of a much larger issue. Both danger and the probability of structural erosion increase if unaddressed. Regular examinations are your best defense against a leaky roof. Be vigilant, search for leaks, and talk with your service provider about the condition of your roof regularly.

I have, I must admit, something of an amused fascination with the ontological argument for the existence of a god. Or, rather I should say, I'm quite awe-struck by the sheer number of people who seem to believe it's a good argument.
(Long-time readers may remember that I once used it to "prove" the existence of a raspberry-flavoured marshmallow asteroid. Long time commenters will probably remember that Ubi Dubium then proceeded to smash (or possibly squish, given the material in question) my asteroid with their raspberry-flavoured marshmallow planet, damnit.)
For those unfamiliar with it, here's Anselm's version of the argument. There've been "refinements" over the years, but this remains the basis:
- It is a conceptual truth (or, so to speak, true by definition) that God is a being than which none greater can be imagined (that is, the greatest possible being that can be imagined).
- God exists as an idea in the mind.
- A being that exists as an idea in the mind and in reality is, other things being equal, greater than a being that exists only as an idea in the mind.
- Thus, if God exists only as an idea in the mind, then we can imagine something that is greater than God (that is, a greatest possible being that does exist).
- But we cannot imagine something that is greater than God (for it is a contradiction to suppose that we can imagine a being greater than the greatest possible being that can be imagined.)
- Therefore, God exists.

I truly believe MrsL has crossed some invisible line from "willing participant" in enforced orgasm control / male chastity to a truly in charge, self confident, Key Holder!
I won't go in to details right now but we had a bit of a fight yesterday relating to our oldest son. If you are new here, I will just say he is at home after 2 DUI's and is recovering from a nasty addiction. He has packed a lifetime of not so good experiences in to his 25 years. She is a very protective Momma Bear and none of the girlfriends he has brought home have never been good enough and she never wants them around. (I will write about all of this at a later time.) So when we went to bed last night the make up activities were absolutely mind blowing.
After we both calmed down and went to dinner as a family we came home and had a family game night, since our youngest is heading back to college today. We love playing cards so we sat up until after midnight playing, talking, and just enjoying being a family. When we all finally retired to our rooms I wasn't sure what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. MrsL climbed on top of me and while showering me with kisses and nibbling on my ears said she wanted to make up for earlier and let her hand slide down to firmly grasp my rapidly stiffening cock.
After some luscious heavy petting, resulting in me being taken right to the edge of orgasm too many times, she arched her back and had her first orgasm. This particular orgasm was special because I was able to coax it out of her using nothing but fingers and the palm of my hand. I have to remember exactly what I was doing because she loved it! I was then pushed down her body to enjoy giving her three more very long, bury her face in the pillow to keep from waking up the boys, moaning orgasms. I nearly had an orgasm just listening to her!!
When she finally pulled me up on the bed she told me to put my hands on the headboard and not move them and went right back to edging me.
I lost count of how many times she stopped at that exactly correct moment. There were even two or three times when just resting her hand on top of my twitching penis was enough to create a near orgasm. After what seemed like an eternity she began a slow steadily increasing stroking. Needless to say, I was lost in the throes of too many near misses whimpering like a little puppy when I must have started begging for an orgasm. This is where I had a moment of clarity…
"I so love hearing the absolute desperation and frustration in your voice…it is so sexy…go ahead…"
With that comment, she buried my overly sensitive penis in her mouth once to provide some lubrication then went right back to her frustratingly slow and steady stroking. Just when I was ready to explode….she stopped.
Now it was my turn to stifle a moan…who am I kidding…it was a full on howl! I let go of the headboard and pulled my pillow over my face grunting and huffing like a madman as cum drizzled out of me.
Just when I thought she was finished she started stroking again…! She coaxed two more spoiled orgasms out of me before she was done. As she was diligently locating and feeding me every last drop of my cum she said:
"I like being able to have full access to tease you anytime I want….the desperation in your voice is so sexy! Don't get used to it though. As soon as you are completely healed I want my Steelheart back in place."
She kissed me and turned over for me to spoon in behind her. Once I was in place, she reached back and gently gripped her now completely deflated cock, we both fell asleep happy and content.

(Also cross-referenced as CAR-TR-695) This thesis considers segmentation and identification of human faces from grey scale images with clutter. The segmentation developed utilizes the elliptical structure of the human head. It uses the information present in the edge map of the image and thr ough some preprocessing separates the head from the background clutter. An ellipse is then fitted to mark the boundary between the head region and the background. The identification procedure finds feature points in the segmented face through a Gabor wave let decomposition and performs graph matching. The segmentation and identification algorithms were tested on a database of 48 images of 16 persons with encouraging results.

You know for centuries now we've thought of ourselves as basically evil at the core, striving ever to be good enough to get the rewards that life gives to those who deserve them. It's only been within the past 20 or 30 years that we've begun to even consider the concept that we are not innately evil—that maybe the concept of original sin doesn't really fly. But then it also doesn't fly that we are innately good either—for we are not even sure what the term good means. In fact, as we have grown into the practice of meditation and expanding consciousness, as we get closer and closer to the core of our own experience we discover neither goodness nor badness—rather something far more mysterious. We discover the existing one, the I AM that I AM, the ipseity, the divine self. So, while the law of attraction as we currently understand it has us seeking fulfillment by attracting our dreams, the ipseity continues to call us home. Don't miss this show.
Tag: dreams
The Power of Positive and Negative
Our current understanding of the law of attraction, as it has been set forth for us, is that what we need to be doing to fulfill our lives is thinking positive, imagining ourselves in the place of our dreams, perhaps creating a vision board or two and not allowing ourselves to think or feel anything negative. In this way, we will, by the power of our positive thinking, magnetize those things, places, people, financial means, and events which are certain to fulfill us. But what do we mean by positive and negative? What is a positive thought? What is a positive feeling? What is a negative thought or feeling? What if our definition of positive isn't really positive at all? And is it possible that through our decision to square off against so-called "negativity" that we are taking away a huge portion of our power? Tune in to find out.
How to: Getting into the Flow
So, here's the question: How do you do it? As I talk to more and more people about the newer and truer version of the law of attraction, this is the question I get asked. That is, after all the questions like: "How can I get a million dollars in the next year," and "How can I attract my soulmate?" Those questions are based on the old understanding of the law of attraction, which tells us that all we need to do to attract from the external world all that fulfills internally, is to think positive, do a vision board, and do the work of removing blocks from the unconscious—and then our dreams will come true. That old understanding has us further splitting ourselves in half. But the new understanding, the true understanding unites us with divine Self. So, now that we know that, how do we get into the flow. This show will answer that question. Don't miss it.
What your Shadow Knows
As we've tried to implement the law of attraction and attract and manifest all of our dreams, we've run into some road blocks that have forced us to question ourselves. Many are advising that we look to the shadow—or the unconscious—to tell us how we are sabotaging ourselves. But the shadow holds far more within it than the darkness about which we typically hear. In fact, for most of us, the shadow also holds within it, the deepest essence of our truest nature. It is this nature toward which the law of attraction is actually driving us. Tune into this show to learn how the law of attraction really works in your life.
So, you want to write a book?
There are so many of you out there right now conspiring with your fantasies to write that book. You think about it and you wish for it and maybe you've even written some of it. But you are still uncertain. Your fears, your dreams and your obligations all line up for the midnight arguments with your soul. You feel that you were meant to write it, but well, you are stuck. This show and the upcoming event put on my Linda Joy and Lisa Tener are for you. Linda is the publisher of the women's magazine "Aspire" and Lisa is a Writing Coach, and they have joined forces to help you bring your book to fruition. And I want to help them help you. So, get out your pens, your laptops and your courage, and let's do this thing.
What's the Point?
From every angle, we are basically being told that our emotions are at best invalid, and at worst, influences that lead us astray. From the rational intellectual world, we are taught that our feelings are just fleeting, fickle, flights that have no more value to us than the wind blowing. From the traditional religious world we learn that our emotions are not only fleeting, fickle and invalid, but also could lead us into temptation. From the New Age/New Thought world we are currently being told that our emotions are only useful if we can plug them into "positive" thinking, which allows us to manifest our dreams. So, here's what I want to know: What is the purpose of our emotions? Are they unnecessary appendages blowing in the wind like the hair on our heads—yet with greater impact? Or are they gifts given to us as a part of the Divine image from which we were created? And if it is the latter, shouldn't we be figuring out how to use them instead of dismissing them? Tune in and find out!
How to get out of your own way!
Are you frustrated because you can't quite get yourself to do, think, say, be the things that you desire to do, think, say and be? What or who is standing in your way? We hear lots and lots of talk about the law of attraction and yet here we are in this recession waiting for the other shoe to fall. We have so many dreams that are yet to manifest and we are trying—oh, we are trying so hard—so why hasn't it happened yet? What we tend to do with questions like this is turn them into an opportunity for self-flagellation, as in "What's wrong with me?" We interpret a lot of life that way, don't we? Well, this week we are going to do away with self-flagellation and mindfully removing the blocks to your authentic life. Don't miss this show!
Dreamwork: Coming to know your Self
Our guests this week are the founders and directors of an organization called North of Eden and The Center for Archetypal Dreamwork located in Vermont. Marc Bregman and Christa Lancaster are our guests today and they bring with them a broad base of experience in a depth understanding of dreamwork. They have co-authored a series of three books entitled "The Deep Well Tapes" and Marc has also authored "Hubris of the Heavens: Archetypal Dreamwork and Rudyharian Astrology," as well as "Gravity." Both of them are archetypal dreamwork therapists and together they bring a broad base of experience to North of Eden, which was founded in order to offer personal and dreamwork retreats to individuals and other therapists. Their expertise in the area of dreamwork may assist you in coming to know yourself and your world through the eyes of your dreams. Don't miss this show.
Drunk with Wonder
Recovering addict, author of three poetry books and founder of his own publishing company, Steve Ryals understands the depths of depravation and false highs as well as the heights of wonder. Author of Drunk With Wonder: Awakening to the God Within, Steve offers us a unique vision of science, spirituality, intentionality and the importance of transformative practices in creating the world of our dreams. Not only does his book give us actual practices that we can use to awaken, but it offers wisdom gained from the shadow side as well. One day Steve just started talking to that quiet voice within, and the rest is a book. This kind of dialogue is essential to the process of waking up to who we really are. Don't miss this opportunity to learn more about your own highest wisdom.
The Secret to Finding Your Soulmate
'Tis the season of love, listeners, and it's time to re-visit all of your dreams for finding that special soulmate. Arielle Ford, our guest for today, helped launch the careers of such giants as Deepak Chopra and Neale Donald Walsch, to name a few, and handled publicity for Wayne Dyer, Gary Zukav, Marianne Williamson, and other notables, eleven of whom became #1 on the N.Y. Times Bestseller list. But until the age of 44, she was a self-described "failure" in the area of romantic relationships. Yet she did meet and marry her soulmate and has written the book "The Soulmate Secret" to answer your questions about how you can do the same. The book describes a series of processes that must be felt on a cellular level to create the outcome you desire. It is a practical guide that includes prayers and techniques to help clear out emotional baggage from the past and make room for true love to manifest. If you have been longing to find your own special soulmate, don't miss this show.

That's only a little of what I have been up to. Let's just say it has been a very busy and unsettling time with everything that has been happening, for that reason alone, I had to step away from a few things and put them on hold until a later date. I am glad to say that at long last, I am now back in my virtual studio, and I will be introducing my next guest that will be arriving very soon, and joining me on my 'Deliciously Scandalous Blog Tour.'
I do notice a lot of things in the world of Facebook and Twitter, and I do notice the kindness that others display by showing their support to one another, 'I call them good hearts!' Trust me I have interacted with many people on a daily basis, and that could range from emails, messages on Facebook or on twitter, not to mention other sites like, Goodreads or LinkedIn and the rest! It really is hard work; I know I have said this before at some point, but we all know by working together and showing support for one another, that's when dreams do flourish. The world is a very big place with more than enough space for us all to fit into and shine if you choose to shine.
I am proud to say that, CR Hiatt does fit into my the 'Good Hearts Category. I would like to thank CR for the awesome support she has shown towards me in the social media world. It really has been awesome; I know I do my best to support authors, but it really is hard to write when you have so much going on in your life. There are many people I am very proud of indeed, CR really does shine, and is a breath of fresh air to all out there including me. It gives me great pleasure to have, CR Haitt on this tour. I am hoping she will arrive soon. I know I said, 'It's great to be back, but I am getting kind of nervous! I know that virtual bar is waiting for me... I have heard that, CR likes to make a bit of an entrance, I have no idea who's picking her up from the airport. Wow... WTF... Now that is some entrance! I have never in all my time in this virtual studio seen anyone do an entrance like that, and landing in such a pose! 10 out of 10 any day....
Wow... I would say your presence was fantastical, what an entrance!! I can't see you being under a rock for too long, not even as a child, not with an entrance like that, brothers and sisters can be so cruel at times, 'Giggles'
Your father really did teach you well! I hope I don't get on the wrong side of you in this interview, well not the military side anyway! As for the warts, I will take your word on that, but you could come to my virtual doctors surgery where I could examine you and check for warts. I can see you're not impressed, I best move on before you use that rope for something else, could I be related to you all by any chance?... Its just with you saying that about your sister, it reminds me of a guy called Mark in my books; only problem is Mark wasn't an athlete, well not as such 'Giggles.' Really though...
Sometimes in life we all want more than what we can have, but if you had one wish to have anything or anyone, what would that wish be and why?
Now that's a nice wish and I would love to be in those front row seats watching both, you crying with joys of delight, and of course the awesome film. I don't know what it's about, but all I know is if anyone can make an entrance like that, well that film is going to be amazing! I am still trying to work out, how you managed to jump off them trees, do a triple somersault and land in such and awesome pose, and remain smiling!
How fit are you!! I really do hope you will star in this film, I would love to see more ;)!! 'Wicked thoughts... Slap face and move on!'
Now that sounds like a fantastic idea to me, this I would love to hear :)
Great story, It gives me an idea for a story. I could call it the great white, Mark! I saw you manage to use the word sex twice, that's good as we all love sex. I noticed the word cat isn't in the story. Maybe I should have changed it to pussy, we all love pussy......... cats I mean!' Still it was a fishy story and it got me hook, line and as Louie would say, sinker!!! Next question I think, 'Giggles!'
I totally understand what you're saying, and you're 100% right. I am sure I have my little hater crew out there somewhere too, but like you said, 'the world is a big enough place for everyone, even my hater crew.' I think all authors should learn to switch off and not be bothered with what others think or their negative opinions. We all have to learn to find the 'F..k you' switch' and keep a positive mind. I respect anyone in the writing industry, even if their work is rubbish, I admire the fact that they have tried their best, at least they tried. There is also a lot of snakes in the grass that I have noticed too. I think this is where our detective work comes into play, but unfortunately we don't need to do that, we both see what's going on, and we're no fools ;) Speaking of fools...
Wow... You can't just reverse the question like that! You know how my mind works! Louie knows all the hot places all year around... 'Giggles!' Ok let's just say 'Maldives or Kenya or Brazil or Singapore... I could go on, but I like my first answer ;)!
Oh my! I think that reader needs to keep an open mind., and we all know James Bond films are not fiction!I know I am talking out of my arse there, speaking of talking out of my arse...
'Giggles!' If you were my partner, I would turn to you and reply, 'Darling, you do blow me away and I love you so much, like a warm soft gentle breeze blowing down on me on a summers day!' Ok! Ok! That was cheesy, but I still would have said something like that, 'Giggles!'
Loyal is good, but too? That was such a waste of a word, I will change it to 'Loyal, confident' That's better ;)
A, The owner of a lonely heart.
B. The owner of a broken heart
No not another, A & B. Saying that though, it does make us stronger in ourselves at a later date, we just don't see that at the time when we feel we have lost everything. Lets change the conversation! We want smiles :)
I will drink to that ;) Well done, 'Giggles'
Lmao, that's a good point, but still, Bert and Ernie out of Sesame Street do have a lot to answer for!!
Hell yeah! Now you're talking. There is nothing wrong with a good bang!
I hear you there. Even though I do these interviews, I am always thinking will others like it? The facts are, they like you, the person that is behind the creative mind, and the other facts are like you said before about jealous people and the way they think that you have this wonderful awesome life when you're a writer. They do need to get their heads out of the sand and realise how much hard work goes into aiming for that perfect life that others think you have! I'm getting a little deep here as Louie would say if he could talk that is! Basically, just be yourself, not everyone is going to like you, so my point is, why worry, life is far to short. Let's move on before I go even deeper, we can save that for after the interview! Drink and chat people...
Now that's bad in my eyes! At that age I was feeling my class mates boobies, no really I was, some of them where massive! Don't worry my year teacher did pull me aside and had words with me not to do it. I was only trying to fit in! No not like that! With the rest of the crowd. It wasn't easy being an ugly unnoticed ducking back then. I would be the one in the class that got caught laughing or doing something silly. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't a bad lad, I would just copy others to try and fit in, but I was the one always getting caught. I guess I didn't know when to end the joke, if I got a laugh, I carried on! I had a friend from over 20 years ago, he messaged me on Facebook, and told me he still remembers some of my old jokes! Anyway we got chatting a little, and I had to get him to enlighten me! He said, 'Do you remember the mild green fairy lip squid joke? I had no idea what the guy was on about, until he told me. I will share one with you, only so you can see how bad they were! I did try, 'Giggles.'
A man goes into a seafood restaurant, the waiter said "choose your food from the tank" the man looked and saw a green squid with a moustache, he said, "I will have that one" and pointed to this squid. The waiter said, "You can't have him, he's the pot washer!" "Pot washer?" replied the man, all puzzled, "Yes" said the waiter, "cause hands that do dishes feel as soft as your face, with mild green furry lip squid." I know that's what I thought too, but we are going back to when I was around 12-13 here. I had a pubic hair growing at the time, 'Giggles!' I can say now that I do remember that joke. Thanks Simon :) ...
Do you ever remember a part in your life that's made a huge impact on you as a person. If so would you like to share that part with the reader?
Aww that is such a sweet story, I know that woman wouldn't have forgotten your kindness, and for your daughter to suggest it, just goes to show what a great mum you have been to her :) I know I've handed out money to the homeless on the streets in the past, and it does give you that joy full feeling that you have done your bit to help, but I never had that angel watching over me as you did. I have no idea how that amount of money got there under your mattress unless you were on the game! I can't see that though, well I can if I stretch my imagination, 'Giggles' Really though, that amount of money back then, would be like winning the lottery! I hope you do play the lottery, after all the angel could still be watching. I think my angle was battling with my demons to even notice when I was doing good deeds, or maybe she/he/it, did! I'm here now with you, so yes it did :) Anyway with all this chatting is making my mouth feel a litte dry, and you know I can see that virtual pub from here, and I can see two glasses with our names on them, which brings us to the end of the interview, but before we go...
Can you tell the reader about your latest work and also tell the reader where they can find you.

Thank you so much for sharing your work with us and for a fantastic interview. It has been a pleasure to have you on my tour, CR. I still can't get over that entrance! Now close those legs and lets get that drink... Yes people after that comment I am taking tips from her sister and being the athlete I never was, I'm out of here while I still have my wits about me ;)! If I am still alive when CR catches up with me, then I will catch you all very soon, 'Giggles!' CR you know I'm only playing, you're an awesome lady with a heart of gold. Keep up the fantastic work and always keep that smile :) I wish you the very best life can offer you, and I also wish for you to have those front row seats!
Thank you all so much for joining me on my @KevinSwarbrick 'Deliciously Scandalous Blog Tour.'

Buying a new home is one of the largest financial investments you will ever make in your lifetime. Making sure you are prepared in advance is important.
There are a couple of key factors to keep in mind regarding your finances. The first would be to not make any large purchases or money transfers in your accounts for three to six months before you are buying your new house. You don't want to take any chances with your credit profile and it's easier to provide the bank with easy-to-follow financial records for your mortgage. That leads to the second factor. Get pre-approved on your mortgage! This saves you a lot of time and keeps you from looking at houses that are out of your price range. Finally, you may want to invest in real estate insurance. This gives you a safety net in case anything goes wrong with the purchase of your new home.
It's a fantastic idea to settle any border disputes before they happen. Hire a surveyor to come and survey the property you are looking at purchasing. Make sure that the property lines are correct. You get taxed on how much land you own and making sure it's the correct amount could save you money later on. Also hire a home inspector. A home inspector can give you an unbiased, professional opinion on the condition of the home you are looking to buy. A list of changes might be used to bring the seller's price down, or you may find a much larger problem that completely stops you from buying a house.
A lot of buyers think that they can time the market and buy when prices are low. This is impossible. The market has cycles and they're never at the same time. The correct time to buy a house is when you find one and you can afford it! If you wait for the market to play in your favor, you will be waiting forever. Don't miss your chance to get the home of your dreams.
Buying the biggest, prettiest home in the neighborhood is actually not a great idea. If you ever are considering reselling, that type of home only appeals to a very small niche market. Also, as time goes on, the value on the biggest home doesn't appreciate as much as it would on a smaller home in the same neighborhood. In reality it's better to purchase the smallest home in the neighborhood. Interestingly enough, the worst house per square foot always trades for more than the biggest house.
So you found the perfect house. Does it sit in the perfect area? Feel free to "stalk" the neighborhood. Drive by the house or through the neighborhood in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. You might not like what the neighbors do at 5 o'clock when they get home from work. Also, drive to the nearest grocery store. Drive to your work. Find parks and things to do nearby. Ask yourself if that are is right for you. Remember to look up the schools in your area as well. Even if you don't have kids that go there, the school system affects the value of your home.
The process of buying a house is complicated, sure, but the future and new adventures are waiting. Following these tips and more can help you buy the perfect new home.

Victoria House in Cheam, Sutton may finally be set for demolition as part of new redevelopment plans. The building has been empty since 2006 and has deteriorated substantially in that time, attracting a great deal of vandalism and anti-social behaviour. In the last decade the property has changed hands several times and been earmarked for regeneration at multiple points. A previous project even gained permission but no progress was made.
At the end of November it was revealed that a new £28 million redevelopment has been planned for the site. It could see 90 new homes built, 12 of which would be designated as affordable housing. The properties would range in size, including one, two and three bedroom homes. On top of these three new commercial units will be created and there will be parking for 50 vehicles and 150 bicycles.
The news could be very well received by the local community who have had to put up with the deterioration of the site for over a decade. It sits in a prominent location and the land would be great for new homes. Those people who moved in to the properties would find themselves with a number of local amenities to enjoy and good transport links within touching distance.
The redevelopment would be fantastic for a site that has experienced a great deal of uncertainty in the past. It would also help the Borough to make progress towards meeting new housing goals and meeting demand. Sutton is a very attractive area because of the affordability, becoming a hotspot over the last few years.
At Finefair we offer an array of services to property owners and investors, catering for their specific needs. Sutton is just one of the Boroughs we serve, offering everything from property management to portfolio solutions. We have a lot of knowledge about the area and will tailor our service to suit the specific requests of our clients.

Classroom Resource: Paper Names and Chinese Immigration to the United States
From 1882 to 1943, Chinese immigrants were legally barred from entering the United States due to the Chinese Exclusion Act. In order to get around the law, some Chinese sought to enter the U.S. with forged identity papers declaring that they were they were close relatives of U.S. citizens of Chinese descent. In recent years, many Chinese-Americans are just learning that their ancestors came to America under false identities. Listen to learn more about what has come to be called the "paper children" of these immigrants.

Now that we are at the beginning of what is called "the long green season of Pentecost." I find it beneficial to review for myself the significance of the color of this season and the colors of all the seasons of the Church Year.
Whether you know it or not, church tradition has established colors to correspond with each season of the Church Year. Currently, we are in the "green" season of the Sundays after Pentecost (which will end in November.) Green is a symbol of growth and maturity. This is a time for us to grow in and become more grounded in our faith. Green helps us to remember that Christ is the Vine and we are the branches, so we need to continually rely on him through prayer, worship, devotion and Bible study. We are always to be lifelong learners of faith. Let this be your mindset and mood during these weeks.
As we look ahead, then, the colors will continue throughout the Church Year and each will help you to take on that season's particular mood and mindset. Here is what I mean:
The blue of Advent (the 4 Sundays before Christmas) reminds us that we are waiting and expecting the coming of Christ on Christmas and his Second Coming at the Last Day. Blue reminds us of the sky that was filled with angels and held the star when Jesus was born, and recalls for us that Jesus will come with the clouds to take us home to be with him one day.
The season of Christmas (Christmas Day
to the Day of Epiphany) is white to symbolize
the holiness of Christ with us. We are to
approach this time with reverence and awe.
Green returns during the Epiphany season (Epiphany Day to Ash Wednesday) as a reminder that Christ appeared to be revealed to all nations and become known to everyone on God's green earth. We are to come to this season filled with joy that Jesus has come to the whole world.
The purple of Lent (Ash Wednesday to Good Friday) signifies a repentant, sorrowful, reflective time as we contemplate the life, suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus for us. We are to come to this season humble and ready to confess the sins we have committed against our God that we might be forgiven.
The Easter season (Easter Sunday to Pentecost) means a return to white to celebrate the bright light of the rising Son who came to life again after three days that we might have life forevermore in the glorious light of heaven. We come to this season filled with joy and celebration over the resurrection of Christ.
The Day of Pentecost is traditionally red to call to mind the tongues of fire that appeared over the heads of the disciples when the Holy Spirit was first poured out upon them and they shared the Gospel with every tribe, tongue and language there. We come to this day "fired up," if you will, to spread the Word by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Which brings us back to the green season of Pentecost again. May the colors of the Church Year inspire you and keep you connected to the story of Christ in every season.

3M leaves Roush Fenway Racing for Hendrick Motorsports
3M will be the primary sponsor for four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon for 11 races for the next three seasons.
Hendrick Motorsports announced on Tuesday that 3M will be the primary sponsor for Jeff Gordon and the No. 24 team starting in 2015.
The three-year agreement covers 11 Sprint Cup races each season and as an associate sponsor in other events. "At 3M, we play to win, and we push hard every day to do just that," said Jesse Singh, senior vice president, 3M Global Sales and Marketing in a release. "With this deal, we align with champion driver Jeff Gordon and an organization at the top of its game in Hendrick Motorsports. What they do in the garage and on the track exemplifies what we're all about in our labs, plants and business teams around the world."
Gordon, who has four Sprint Cup titles, is currently second in the point standings. He's posted 90 career Cup victories – third on the all-time win list. In 2014, Gordon has two wins, seven top-five finishes and 15 top-10s in 22 starts.
"Innovation is what 3M is known for," said Gordon, 43, who has a lifetime contract with Hendrick Motorsports. "We've seen that approach throughout their involvement in NASCAR, and it's a terrific fit for what we do at Hendrick Motorsports and with the No. 24 team. I'm personally excited about the opportunities and thrilled to represent a company that's so passionately supported auto racing for such a long time."
3M is currently on the No. 16 Roush Fenway Racing Ford. 3M has been a sponsor of Greg Biffle's since the company debuted on his car at Las Vegas in 2007. On Tuesday afternoon, Biffle tweeted:

History Camp Boston will be held at Suffolk University Law School's Sargent Hall, located at 120 Tremont Street, Boston, MA 02108 steps from Boston Common in downtown Boston.
Getting to History Camp
Boston's Logan is closest; Manchester-Boston Regional Airport in Manchester, New Hampshire, and T. F. Green in Warwick, Rhode Island are both within about an hour's drive.
When making your reservations, consider staying at least through Sunday afternoon. And if you are planning on making a vacation of it, come a few days earlier for the Fourth of July festivities.
Mass transit
It's a short walk to commuter trains that come into South Station and North Station.
In addition to commuter rail, it's very convenient to drive to the large parking lots located at MBTA stations at or near the end of the lines. It's a quick ride from the parking lot station to Park Street/Government Center. The station locations: Blue Line – Wonderland, Green Line – Riverside, Red Line – Alewife or Braintree. The green and red lines go directly to Park Street station.
The Park Street MBTA subway station (Red and Green subway lines) is a two or three minute walk to Suffolk.
The blue line goes to Government Center which is a couple blocks from Suffolk. The Government Center station is on Cambridge St which turns into Tremont St.
For more info on using the Boston subway and train system, visit the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority website or MBTA Trip Planner.
We recommend two garages:
- The garage for the One Beacon Street building. The garage entrance is at 32 Tremont Street. $12 for the day. Open 24 hours. For additional information, view their site or call them at (617) 646-7237.
- The Garage at Post Office Square. The garage entrance is at 55 Pearl Street and 130 Congress Street. $9 for the day. Open 24 hours. For additonal information, view their site or call them at (617) 646-1430
These are both close and modern. See maps and photos below.
The garage for the One Beacon Street building
The Garage at Post Office Square
Other nearby garages
See above for our recommended garages.
Here are others in case that one isn't available for some reason. You might also download a parking app such as Spot Hero.
Center Plaza Garage
Entrances on Somerset and Tremont Streets
Charles River Garage
Entrance on Cambridge Street under the Charles River Shopping Plaza parking lot next to the Holiday Inn Hotel.
Pi Alley Garage
275 Washington Street
Government Center Garage
Entrances on New Sudbury and New Chardon Streets
Boston Common Garage
Entrance on Charles Street (between the parks)
On Saturday morning there should be plenty of parking and the Suffolk University building is easily accessible. There's a weekend parking rate of $18 for the day, which may be discounted if you use SpotHero or reserve online directly. Inside, you'll find 1,300 parking spaces. The underground garage is well-lit, and gets fairly heavy usage day and night. It's open 24 hours a day. Security personnel are usually a visible presence in the garage.
Enter the Boston Common Garage from Charles Street, which is one-way going north between Boston Common and the Public Garden. The garage is easy to reach from Storrow Drive, I-93, and Mass Pike (I-90). Once you park and lock your car, be sure to note the letter (A, B, C, D, etc) of the aisle where you parked and the level you parked on.
Bring your ticket with you, as you may need to swipe it at the kiosk door in order get back in. (Boston Insider's Tip: Sometimes late at night, all but one kiosk is locked – definitely disconcerting if you aren't expecting it.) In the evening, pay before returning to your car. Payment machines are available in each kiosk.
Walk up the stairs or take the elevator up to ground level and exit through a small kiosk. There are four kiosks in all, and they all look identical. Make a mental note of the location where you exit, so that you can find it when you leave.
Once above ground, head to Tremont St., toward the Park St. MBTA station (almost across the street from Suffolk University). Look for signage (underground or at the kiosks) that directs you to those locations. If there is no visible signage, look for the street from which you entered the garage. That is Charles Street. Turn your back to Charles St and walk across the Boston Common to Tremont St.
We've had several inquiries about lodging. Our group is too small to negotiate a discounted rate at any of the hotels, so there is no "official" hotel.
There are hundreds of choices throughout the area, from hotels and Airbnbs in the city to less expensive lodging outside the city.
The Parker House is just steps from Suffolk Law School where History Camp takes place. It is legendary, and can be expensive, though I did find a good rate using Hotels.com when I looked in early May.
If you stay outside of Boston, since our event is on a Saturday, driving in or taking mass transit won't be bad. You can also drive to one of the outer MBTA stations and take the "T" or Uber in.
Even if you're not flying in or driving a long distance, you may wish to consider staying in or near Boston. History Camp takes place on Saturday and we'll go out Saturday night. In addition, some local organizations will have special tours, events, or discounts for History Camp attendees on Sunday.

a collection of posts on that grad life
My nose has been buried in a book since I can remember, and as a child, I dreamt of grand libraries with floor to ceiling shelves and endless stacks of books I could bring home to curl up with. The small branch library in my town would suffice and check out, read, and return was a steady cycle in my household. My father is fond of telling stories of us walking down our neighborhood hand in hand, and as a toddler, my chubby fingers pierced the space between me and any letter that stood in my path, from billboards to storefronts to bus benches, that jab only rivaled by the proud exclamation of each letter I pointed at. Now, as an adult and primed on a path into the deep hull of academia, I reflect on how I was born and bred for this journey. My love for the written only manifested itself tenfold in an all consuming desire to produce my own interpretations. Read, reflect, and write is the new cadence that drives my deep voyage into knowledge. Endless stacks of books are ever so present in all my work spaces, but it is accompanied by a well established workflow that includes systems and technology to support this developing cycle.
thesis threads began as a collection of random notes to guide my novice attempts of scholarship and research. I hope to grow and foster it to become a comprehensive guide for all those who find themselves compelled to navigate the same path to seek knowledge. Thank you for joining me. Kick off your shoes, pour yourself a cup of tea, and stay awhile.
As you settle in, if I may suggest a good place to start: Humble Origins.

These towel are very soft to the touch, and feel very light. They wrinkle more than other Turkish towels I own.
I love my towels from Bali market.They are soft and very durable.I have changed out both my bathrooms with different ones. I have gotten tuns of complements on them.if you'r on the fence and thinking of trying them you can shop with confidence at the Bali market. Thanks Grace
My only criticism of the Navy waffle weave bath towel is the same for all the waffle weave towels - they have a definite front and back side. I wish the weave was like the herringbone with both sides the same.
Love the soft weave on this beautiful Turkish towel. My 3 year old loves the smooth, gentle texture and it is highly absorbent AND quick drying.
The green is simply lovely as well!
Love the all women's business and handmade quality. Will purchase again

State Historic Site
Trail End
Dear Sister - I am taking in the excitement now and have been for several days and weeks. There has hardly been an hour that the shells have not been bursting around us but so far our battery has been lucky although some other batteries have lost heavily.
At first it made the cold chills run over a fellow but now a shell has got to burst close to attract much attention. Two horses were killed right close to one of our guns and we have had others slightly wounded, and several of the boys have had pieces of shell glance off their steel helmets; a hot piece of shell came through my shelter tent yesterday while I was reading.
They keep a fellow from getting lonesome, but while they are sending them over to us they are getting thousands in return. For all the shells and gas they send they get a double portion in return. We have got them going and for awhile we couldn't catch up with them close enough to get a shot. On every attack we have given them a warm reception and dead Germans are even now laying around unburied.
You asked if I had seen the boys [Landy and Shandy]. Yes, I was right close to them for a week and could go and see them whenever I was off duty. The 148th got a big feed ready and sent [Shandy] over after me. We went back together and certainly had big eats. Afterwards we spent the evening telling each other what we had done and what we were going to do. After that I went home with [Shandy]. His outfit was about three or four miles from hours but we got in a truck and had quite a visit. Landy's outfit was only half a mile from us, but both are gone now. They loaded their guns on the train but where they went I do not know although they thought they were going to Italy, but that was all guess work. I do not suppose I will see them again but at any rate all three of us had a good visit and all seemed glad to see one another.
The bunch that left Sheridan with them were all there except those that had been killed or wounded. Slim McGovern was badly wounded a few days ago. His left leg was broken by a piece of shell that struck him above the knee. A fellow cannot tell what minute he is going to get it.
It is four o'clock in the afternoon and the Huns have begun to send them pretty thick but they receive them back a damn sight quicker. This is a great life if a fellow don't weaken and I have not seen very many Yanks weaken yet.
I will never forget the first time we went into action. We got camped about two o'clock in the morning and it was raining and dark - gee, but it was dark in that thick brush and a light was not permitted on the front. I got my horses put away, then went to a little hillside and kicked out a level spot, laid my blanket down and took a real sleep. I was off by myself so I could not be bothered. Next morning I was sitting up in bed smoking and viewing things and the first thing I saw was a dead German. His hands were sticking straight up in the air and about a shovel full of dirt had been thrown on his stomach. His toes were also sticking out. That was as near as they got him buried.
Well, I guess this is enough for this time, so will close.
The above was written during the most intense days of the Aisne-Marne Offensive. Two weeks later, shortly before being thrown into the thick of things at St Mihiel, Hitson added a postscript to his letter:
As I have not mailed my letter yet will add a little to it. We were on the move most of the night. Do not know where we are going but will have to admit that it is a relief to get back where the shells and gas do not bother and I will sure sleep after I get to bed. We were relieved from the sector where we were stationed but suppose we will hit it again in some new place where it is just as warm and where the fighting is just as good. A fellow sure seems lost away from the shells and battlefields after being so long among them. ... About one or two nights sleep and I will be ready to fly at 'em again for a month or two longer.
ONE OF FOUR Hitson brothers who served during the war, Hayden Earl Hitson was a wagoner with the 13th Field Artillery. He fought in three of the largest battles in which the United States Army was engaged: the offensives at Aisne-Marne, St Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne. About the only major battleground he avoided was Champagne-Marne, where two of his brothers - Landy and Shandy - fought with the 148th Field Artillery (the fourth Hitson, Fred, was an engineer with the naval submarine service).
The Hitsons were from Clearmont - a tiny community today, but one which contributed over eighty young men to the war effort between 1917 and 1919. Like the Hitsons, most were farmers. Others worked for the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad.
In this letter, dated August 4, 1918 and printed in The Sheridan Post, Hitson writes about what it was like on the battlefield. Unlike most letters home from the war zone, his provides a graphic description of the sites and sounds of war.

Estherville News Editorial
It's about learning
At some point, it became sort of a sport among kids to claim they dislike school. In some cases, it may be true. Some minds and bodies were not built to sit still and listen for long stretches. Others may have trouble getting their heads around the vital core concepts of working with words and numbers. For others, the social aspect of crowded hallways and loud lunchrooms might sap their energy.
As we worked on our back to school stories this week, what stuck out is that the teachers and administrators are excited genuinely for the bell to ring and the students to return. Kids on the whole, the educators at your school really like you and can't wait to see you.
To hear about your stories of summer.
To see how you've grown, perhaps physically, even more as a person.
To show you something new and interesting and alive and fun.
To watch you take in a concept as a newbie and grow in your knowledge until you can demonstrate or explain it almost as well as the teacher.
To see your face light up when you finally get it.
To share a little bit of their life knowledge as a gift for your own life journey.
Maybe we've become jaded over the years by the bad news of insufficient standards, teachers made lazy by the protection they have from unions, by those who claim teachers put in an abbreviated day and an abbreviated year, so our respect for them should be likewise abbreviated.
And those teachers who are in the national news for missing the mark, for inappropriate or criminal acts, rare as those occurrences are in the big picture, might also contribute to a declining collective respect for teachers.
With the availability of technology that can help us see and experience things around the world and beyond, this time has the potential to be a golden age of education.
But it's all just noise and flashing light without the guidance and investment of a real person who wants us to learn.
Learning was never a simple task, and today's world makes it more complex than ever. But teaching is a vocation about as old as human society. Learning is an even older task.
We hope students at every level of every age will go into this school year ready to learn.
