I don't really know when someone posts a comment on one of my posts,
So once in a while,
I'll go check ... to see if there might be some comment that I didn't see.
Surprises me, sometimes.
* * *Been having coughs and cold .. or is it flu?
For the past week.
Probably because I've been deprived of sleep?
Finally had my rest today.
Last Saturday was robbed by the school's replacement class,
And Sunday was due to the fact that I had to go for the 6 hour theory class for driving.
* * *
My family and I had to go back to my mom's hometown today.
Then my cousin called up to tell us to come another time ... due to something.
So I immediately signed up for the 10 hour seminar on Sunday.
My aunt called and told us to go back again.
Crap =.=
After much ... reasoning,
My dad allowed me to stay at home,
So here I am,
Alone at home.
It's not that I don't want to see my relatives,
It's just that I REALLY NEED A REST.
Why can't adults accept the fact that I'm dying already,
With all my time dedicated to doing a student's duty.
* * *
Been watching American Idol.
Can NEVER catch it on TV,
So I had to download them.
After 8 season,
I finally could watch the entire season 9.
My favourite guest judge so far is Katy Perry!
I now have newfound respect for her,
Mainly because of her attitude. xD
* * *
With time allocated for homework,
Watching American Idol,
And other miscellaneous stuff,
I wonder when could I start revising form 4 syllabus.
At some point,
I felt that all 3 science subjects are in fact,
Very very interesting.
Even history, a little.
Maybe it's the side effects of not having enough slumber ...
I wish I could just sit down,
Without the burden of having to do other school related stuff,
And just enjoy studying.
* * *
I read in the recent Reader's Digest,
That multitaskers suffer from the lack of concentration.
That never occurred to me before,
But it's true,
I can't never spend a full hour doing homework.
Juggling between homework, MSN, iTunes, Plurk and Facebook DAILY,
I hope the consequences aren't too harsh D:
* * *
There's this girl,
That I really can't handle.
Okay, that sounded like I'm trying to tackle her =.=
What I'm trying to say is I find it hard to be around this girl.
Put it this way,
I can never cooperate with her in anything because of her terrible attitude.
I'm not judging or anything,
That's wrong.
But I just can't stand her.
I'm trying not to hate or dislike her,
Because that ain't healthy ...
* * *
Oh well,
Time to go back to my pile of homework.

Dr. Axel Moehrenschlager, head of the zoo's Centre for Conservation Research, says sage grouse numbers have plummeted in the past two decades to less than 150 in the entire country.
He says predation, disease and other factors have also contributed to the bird's shocking decline.
Captive breeding and release is one strategy that will be discussed to save the bird.
Moehrenschlager points out that at one point, there were only 15 whooping cranes and 40 Vancouver Island marmots left.
But thanks to captive breeding, both now number in the hundreds.
Moehrenschlager says the situation is "very tricky" but the bird's fate is certain if nothing is done.
Moehrenschlager says the goal of the international multi-stakeholder workshop is to determine how to best incorporate captive and wild conservation strategies to save the sage grouse.
Last year the federal government announced an emergency order to protect the sage grouse, the first time such action has been taken under the Species at Risk Act.

John Devaney -Fall 2008
by: Joshua B. Gray
photography by: Nicole Harnishfeger
John Devaney is a painter of gestures: the gestures and movements of figures, whether they are the inanimate formations found in the landscape, or the distinctive attributes of the human form.
There are emotional elements to Devaney's work as well. One that is expressed in color, color that sometimes, the artist said, he fears is too dark. His worry is that it is something innate, something that is a part of him, something that will stay with his art.
Then, it is also expressed in form and shape and how they relate to their environment. As an artist who has spent significant amounts of time painting objects and living beings under the water, and who regularly incorporates the fanciful and iconic into his oil paintings, Devaney is an artist with a unique perspective and a memorable presentation.
If there is any sort of balance in his work, it is his own. His paintings are the result of how he identifies with the world around him, his subjective viewpoint and his own nervous system at play, he said.
"I am a figurative painter, first of all. My work has become about the interaction between landscape and the figure. It's never just a landscape or a portrait, it's as if bodies and the landscape affect each other."
The evidence of this interaction throughout the body of Devaney's prolific work is abundant.
Hanging in his Nantucket studio, an open space that at one time could have been a garage but now has a loft, several desks and pieces of furniture among the many finished and in-progress works of art, is a painting of Nantucket that Devaney continues to perfect.
It depicts Main Street with the red-brick Pacific Bank looming at its center and the edges composed of wide brick sidewalks and their day-to-day goings-on. An artist with his easel paints on one side of the cobblestone street, and a delivery truck waits idling on the other. These aspects literally weigh down the image. They appear to pull the street down to a level beneath the rest of the landscape. A somewhat futuristic car is also depicted in the scene as it turns onto Centre Street. These elements are an example of what this artist captures for himself in a given moment.
"In a passing crowd you capture only the gestures or elements of a person," said Devaney. "I have tried to take those quick semaphores of what is passing by me. The consciousness is never ceasing in the process of painting. Figures emerge that weren't even there. It is a kind of spontaneous emergence of new figures and partial figures. This is something that the abstract painters celebrated, the accident or the things that just happened. That inspiration is part of the miracle of the process of opening up to your subconscious."
Formally educated in the arts, Devaney holds a master's degree and has in years past taught at Harvard University and the Boston Museum School.
Married to journalist and actress Sandy MacDonald, the couple have one daughter, Laurel Devaney, also an actress who lives and works in New York City and Nantucket. Devaney and MacDonald also split their time between the Big Apple, Nantucket and Boston.
Devaney, a long-time actor himself, first came to Nantucket from Cambridge, Mass. more than 20 years ago to star in the now-defunct Actors Theatre of Nantucket production of "Beyond Therapy" by Christopher Durang.
Finding he wanted to stay on the island after completing his first production, Devaney made the decision to return to Nantucket in the summers and continue to pursue his interest in acting. He said these many years later he continues to enjoy acting, and usually participates in at least one play on Nantucket each year.
But above all, he said, he is a painter.
"Since I was young there has never been a time when art was not my main passion," Devaney said.
Influences that have affected the artist's style and helped form his presentation are numerous. Beginning with one of his college professors who gave him a great love for drawing and an appreciation for painting the human figure, Devaney said after a lifetime of painting there are more than 500 artists whose work he has come to admire. From the classical Dutch masters to the Ashcan School of work in turn-of-the-20th-century New York, these artists have furthered his understanding of movement and fluidity upon the canvas.
Though his painterly style and viewpoint have changed little over the years, his choice of subject has seen an evolutionary process though, he said, many times he will return to subjects he has visited before. With a baseline of the figure as his muse, the environment surrounding his subject is ever-changing.
"There are some things that have been cooking in me all my life and never go away. There are stopping points throughout my work," said Devaney. "Swimmers grab me and in a pool you can pose people in a way that you could never in an environment rich with gravity."
The artist's work over the past 15 years has featured many scenes beneath the surface of the water, from swimming pigs to human subjects posed submerged. Devaney has spent years exploring this distinct presentation of art.
Nantucket and its beaches have also been and continue to be one of his muses, said Devaney, adding that he can't imagine a time when he won't paint it. Most recently the artist has spent a winter in New York City exploring the figures and the many motions of the city that never sleeps. With his trademark style of perception, Devaney has created a series of works that graphically explore known landmarks such as Grand Central Terminal and the Plaza Hotel, also illustrating the distinct lines found on a city block of brick townhouses.
A show of his most recent pieces opened the last week of August at the South Wharf Gallery on Nantucket, and will remain up through early September.
"John Devaney's love of drawing the figure inspires his paintings of the human parade. His scenes of everyday life on the island and in the city teem with an infinite variety of beings – both mythical and familiar, dark and comical," said Mary Beth Splaine, owner of the India Street gallery. "His ability to catch the character of a figure in motion is uncanny. The longer you look at a Devaney painting the more there is to see and understand. They are teeming with life."
As his subjects change, said Devaney, emotional devices are used to complement his scenes.
"Paintings always have dark and light, at least that is my hope. They have emotional extremes that juxtapose – the dark with the humorous and the mythical with the everyday. It reflects what goes on in my mind."
Throughout Devaney's body of work, another subjectively emotive element is found: the artist's use of archetypal images. Look at any of his paintings and one is likely to discover that it contains his dog, Jasmine; or a pear; or a head of broccoli; the Steamship Authority's car-ferry Eagle; or Devaney himself.
Each of these objects represents different things to him and resembles characters as if in a novel, he said. Some are simple, such as the beauty he finds in the shape of broccoli or a pear, or what he sees as the mythical qualities of the lines of the Eagle, while others represent a more personal context.
But he is not alone in this seemingly eccentric practice, said Devaney, as through the ages some of the most well-known in the art world have had similar fixations with certain objects, including Rembrandt and Holbein.
As complex as the artist's vision for his work is, his process is seemingly typical. As with most passionate about what they do, Devaney said he is driven to draw constantly. Many of his pieces begin with drawing, he said. During his winter in New York, many of his days were spent sketching, whether it was on the subway or on a busy street, his mind always working on another painting. The painting, he added, normally takes place wherever he has a good set-up such as his New York apartment or his studio on Nantucket. Other times, he said he will begin with a lot of color on a canvas, as if beginning with an empty room.
In the future, Devaney looks forward to continuing his series on New York, but as always, is open to the inspiration of the moment.
Joshua B. Gray is an editorial assistant and a writer at The Inquirer and Mirror, Nantucket's newspaper since 1821.

Prompt 09 for shimelle's Blogging For Scrapbookers is to use a pattern in blogging. I will admit i have tried this many times but never really kept up. The past tries all had pictures needed to complete the posts. I am going give myself the option on photos. Starting today I will be doing Current Event Wednesday. Instead of reporting on things happening in the news, I will list the current events in my life.
Let's begin:
- bloggin for scrapbookers over at shimelle.com is in full swing...aka the inspiration for this post. so far i am most up to date. I have skipped a few prompts as the content did not come to me right away and put them aside for future posts.
- Isabelle had her first reherasal for with Debbie Allen this weekend. She so excited, she met some new friends and learned 2 of the dances.
- Its awards week at the dance studio. Isabelle received her 7th year charm and I myself received my 21 yr charm
- Fabric sale this past weekend didn't go to well. My aunt forgot to post an add in the local paper and soley relied on getting the word out on craigslist. I believe she learned her lesson. We did get a lot of the garage cleared out but I was not able to move any boxes from my house into the new one.
- started packing up the craftroom for the move. trying to organize as i go for easy access because the craftroom in the new house will be last room completed.
- Bachelorette party coming up this weekend at the beach. So excited but have a lot to do at work before friday. Finished all the decorations for the party. I will posts pics when we get back from the weekend.
- loving my new ipad2, well i guess it isn't really new anymore. still struggling with some things like posts pictures through blogger. buy hey im sure they have an app for that

|rear view of corset
I am not sure the pin tucking on the front and back is period but it was necessary to make the thing fit. The underarm gusset was an interesting detail that I had not encountered in my sewing before now but I found that I like it and the room it affords for movement.
The farthingale was not particularly difficult to put together, it just requires a mixture of technical skill and jerry rigging to get the hoop steel put in and secured. I skimped on the finishing crimps and used electrical tape, which you may be able to see showing through the fabric in the pictures. The fabric was still damp from removing tailoring marks.
The corset was not difficult to make at all, contrary to popular belief it does require patience and a fair amount of handwork. Black linen and green duck were used for the body of the corset. Boning is done in zip ties and I used metal grommets, then finished them by hand to lend a more authentic look. The busk is a piece of pine that I picked up for free out of a scrap pile from one of the local hardware shops. This being my first run at a corset, I don't feel too bad about the effort but there is a lot of room for improvement on any future works. It does not fit as snugly as I would like but that is on my list of things to keep in mind for the next one. Yes, there will be a next one, a Victorian era corset to be specific, that will include metal boning and coutil and a real busk!
The bum roll is not placed correctly in the pictures, I was so excited to have it all finished I just kinda threw it on the dummy and started snapping. Yesterday's post may have a better shot.

First Eurovision and now the World cup: Deutschland on a roll
About 15 minutes in Argentina began taking the game to the Germans, but as I said , they were expertly fended off. What was concerning me was that if they let the the Argies stay in their end too long, somebody might score and that almost happened a few times. German Keeper Manuel Neuer stopped shot after shot. It did look like depending how you viewed things, that Germany were toying with Argentina or they had taken the pedal off the gas. But with 30 minutes left to play, Germany put the match to bed delivering what amounted to a spanking to the only team in this tournament to have a similarly strong run in. Klose 67,Friedrich74, Klose again in the 89th minute. I was giddy, Germany deserved the win, as frankly Argentina reverted to form and began the niggling little dramas and tackles they are famous for when things are not going their way. Not as overt as Portugal with the class theatrical diving , they nonetheless tried. On this alone I thought they deserved to loose. The best team won on the day and congratulations to Germany from one of the bumps in the road. Even 4-2 would not have flattered us, Germany outclassed every opponent save one and the English performance wasn't all down to German skill, most of it was self inflicted. Germany did the job they needed to do and moved on.
Next blog will be back to the telly and for the first time, the long awaited unsigned and lesser known bands reviews. Enjoy the rest from the footy, hug your significant other go for a walk , get some air, Tuesday is coming fast.

It was a rainy day....well apparently it is over at the Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge. So grab your umbrellas, rubber boots or what have you's and get on over there to show us how YOU handle a rainy day.
A funny thing though, as I am typing this out to you it has just started to rain here, and I can hear the distant rumblings of an approaching thunderstorm. Talk about weird or what?
Anyhow, on to the challenge....for my interpretation of a rainy day I used this cute Stamping Bella stamp by Mo Manning called, Umbrella Peep. I bought this stamp when I was at ScrapFest in Kitchener last year. It wasn't just because the image is so darn cute, but because the wording of the sentiment that came with it.
"Life isn't about waiting for the storms to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain".
Isn't that just the most optimistic attitude to have in life? I certainly think so, and I will forever try my darnedest to always see life that way.
So, in keeping with that mindset I decided to use bright colours instead of the more traditional dark colours we always seem to see when it comes to rain gear.
Heck, it's certainly one way to brighten up an otherwise gloomy day, don't ya think?
I stamped the image onto Neenah card-stock using Memento black ink, and then I coloured it using my Copic markers. I painted a little bit of Smooch Glitz onto the top of the umbrella in an attempt to make it glisten as if it were wet. I also drew in a couple of rain drops for added effect, then I used a wee bit of Glossy Accents on the raindrops, little peeps rain gear and the umbrella handle as well.
I noticed after I cropped the below picture that I've either coloured outside the line on her hat or perhaps the Glossy Assent pushed it out.
Oh well, nobody is perfect are they?
The DP's are a combo of SU, DCWV Citrus Collection and then just some regular cardstock.
I embossed the green square to stay within the dotted theme by using my SU dots embossing folder. The sentiment was stamped with Color Box "Merlot" pigment ink, and then I added clear embossing powder to enhance it. A few brads, viva decor pearls, a little ribbon and a bow and "wallah", there you have it, the bright side of a rainy day.
So get yourselves over to this weeks Twisted Thursday challenge and show us YOUR rainy day creation. If you don't have the time to make a card this week, or aren't a member of the Outlawz you can always drop by my fellow DT members personal blogs to have a peek at their creations. Perhaps you could leave them a comment because I know how much they are appreciated!

A strong graphic identity program projects a consistent visual image of the college that supports this well earned reputation and communicates stability and quality. The Graphic Identity Program connects the many different departments, programs, and elements that comprise Saint Anselm College by creating and maintaining visual consistency in publications, Web sites, correspondence, and signage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is graphic identity?
Graphic identity is any visual or graphic image, such as a logo, that serves as a simple signature or identifier for an organization. It is a readily identifiable symbol that visually represents the organization to the numerous audiences it serves.
What is a graphic identity program?
In its most basic form, a graphic identity program is a set of rules for use of an organization's logo or other visual identifiers.
Why do we need a graphic identity program?
Each year, the college produces hundreds of publications, advertisements, electronic presentations, and other print or visual items. Each of these items is an "ambassador" of the college. It is important that each one appears to be part of the same family by sharing certain graphic elements in common. In addition to its image-enhancing value, a carefully managed graphic identity program actually saves time and money. By applying these simple guidelines, stylistic decisions may be made quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively.
What materials should adhere to the graphic identity program?
All publications or communications distributed off campus or to a reading public larger than an individual class or student group must adhere to the graphic identity program. A few commonly produced campus publications are Web pages, newsletters, postcards, catalogs, bulletins, brochures, booklets, invitations, announcements, flyers, programs, advertising, letterhead and posters. Publications produced with private funds or to support students' organizations are also subject to these guidelines if the college's name is used in any way to support or promote the organization or activity.
How do I obtain graphic identity art?
Use only electronic files or hard copy, reproduction-quality graphic art provided by the Office of College Communications and Marketing. Samples of usable logos may be found online. The logos may not be redesigned. Do not change the relationship, size, perspective, shape, or configuration in any way. Contact College Communications and Marketing for usable copies of our logos at 641-7240 or download logos from the college website.
Additional questions?
For assistance in planning a publication, or if you have questions about logo usage, call the director of creative services at 641-7454.

I think it is a bit misleading for your front page to describe the above problem as a 'junkie problem'.
These people are buying cans of booze from two convenience stores in the town centre, in Queens Road opposite WH Smith and a shop just yards away from their 'own benches' outside Poundstretcher.
They have commandeered these benches for themselves, shoppers are hardly likely to sit nearby. In the early noughties 15 years ago, the authorities seemed to have cracked this problem and cleared this social desecration of the town centre.
We have to ask why has the problem recurred despite the zones of 'reduce the strength' shops which of course includes the town centre?
No-one but the police has the power to deal with this issue and the police are insisting no crimes have been committed despite the blatant and excessive consumption of alcohol in a public place.
Is that practice going to be disregarded just as the following are disregarded: pavement cycling, dope smoking in public, parking on the white zig-zags of zebra crossings?
Obviously the police and the council are stretched due to the public sector cuts but whatever measures were taken in 2001 to 'cleanse' the town centre must surely be given a priority and repeated.

UPS Strike Makes It Seem Like Christmas at Post Office
WASHINGTON -- Thanks to the UPS strike, U.S. postal workers say it's Christmas in August.
The trick will be in keeping their windfall customers even after the United Parcel Service of America Inc. trucks are back in action.
Since the Teamsters union walkout began Monday, the volume of parcels the U.S. Postal Service is handling is similar...

2018 Will start with Australia Day and Waitangi Day gigs at The Liverpool Everyman Theatre and The Robin2, Bilston. These two shows will see singer Shannon M join the band on vocals for a celebration of the best of Aussie and Kiwi music from AC to The Enz!
See our gig dates page for more info.
Formed in 2001, Crowded Scouse have built up a strong reputation for recreating a stunning live sound and a great sense of fun!
Keysman Joe & Singer/guitarist Mark had been playing in bands together since their teens and had always been Crowded House fans, so it seemed a natural thing when they gave up playing their own material to begin playing acoustic nights as "Crowded Scouse".
They were soon joined by Big Al on guitars and continued as a trio until Vin (a self confessed Finnatic!) who had been to see the Scousers a couple of times, offered his services as Bass player."Oh and I know a drummer as well". Enter Shoeless MJ!
2018 will also see us doing more acoustic gigs which we love doing. They give us the opportunity to do more of the stuff you've been shouting for! such as Into Temptation, You're not the girl and She goes on. so keep checking our gigs page for more info in 2018
The great thing about the Scousers is, they are genuine Finn fans. It´s all about playing music they love for other fans. So there are no dodgy accents or wigs!
What you do get is great music, with a strong emphasis on fun and audience participation. And with the return of guitarist 'big Al Mac' the band are still going strong.
Have a look at our gig dates and choose a night to get yourself down to join us in a celebration of the music of Crowded House, Split Enz and all things Finn!

[Please write at least 2 detailed paragraphs of your character's general history. This can entail anything from their upbringing, school years and their present. The paragraphs don't have to be long, but they do need to include details, so that people can get to know your character more.]
It is possible that Clara has some form of high-functioning autism, but she was never diagnosed. Up until age 11, she attended a Montessori school in Bristol, and was encouraged to be passionate about learning. She never had many friends, but she never felt she needed them because "books are better than people anyway." She takes it upon herself to read and learn everything she possibly can about every subject she can possibly think of whenever she's bored. She loves science, especially psychology and chemistry, and dreams of discovering or inventing an entirely new and revolutionary scientific breakthrough, and winning a Nobel prize someday.
She had a relatively normal muggle childhood. Her parents are both university professors. She is an only child, with a family cat named Abrasax, and a small house near the university where her parents work. She always knew that she could make weird things happen whenever she got upset, and ever since she accidentally made all of Marissa Harrison's hair fall out when she was eight years old, she's learned to keep a strict hold on her emotions. She was sceptical when she first got her Hogwarts letter, but she couldn't deny that she had done some unexplainable things, so she quickly accepted magic as a new avenue for discovery, and happily bought as many books as she could afford from Diagon Alley.
Because of her muggle background, she is dedicated to understanding magic on a fundamental level, so she can reconcile the laws of magic with the laws of physics, which seem to contradict each other. Over her past two years at Hogwarts, she has spent a considerable amount of time in the library, researching and theorizing, and trying to figure out how to create new spells.

Thomas Goldstein and Marina Goldstein (nee Velazquez) met at Cambridge where they both studied. They are both rather progressive, and they believe in empowering their daughter, Clara, to explore and discover and learn. They are not especially wealthy, nor especially poor, but they want to give Clara the best education possible, often teaching her themselves about their respective areas of expertise. They all love books, and every Sunday they go to the library as a family. They have very interesting intellectual discussions over supper, which they make sure to always eat together, and they respect Clara as a mature and intelligent individual and treat her as an adult. The Goldstein family is very close, and Clara loves her parents more than anything else in the world.

13 June, 2019
At 4 o'clock on Thursday afternoon, ten-year-old Clara Goldstein was lying on her stomach on the floor of her living room, reading
The Return of the King
for the second time, when she heard the doorbell ring. Glancing up, she watched her father fold his newspaper, rise from his seat in the dining room, and walk to the front door. From where she lay, she couldn't see what was happening, but she could hear her father's voice, and the deep baritone of a stranger. She listened curiously to the short conversation that ensued, wondering who it could be.
"Hello?" began Mr. Goldstein, opening the door.
"Good afternoon," said the stranger. "Is this the Goldstein residence?"
"It is, yes. How can I help you?"
"My name is Thaddeus Pritchard, I'm a representative from Hogwarts School. Is your daughter home, by any chance?"
Clara perked up at this. A school? That couldn't be right, she hadn't applied to any schools...but the man had confirmed the address. Maybe there was another Goldstein they were looking for? It wasn't an uncommon surname.
"Clara?" Mr. Goldstein called, summoning her to the door. She scrambled to her feet and poked her head around the corner, assessing the tall, official-looking man at the door before coming to stand beside her father.
The man turned to address her, holding out his hand. "Hello, Clara. I'm--"
"Thaddeus Pritchard. I heard. What's Hogwarts? I didn't apply, I think you have the wrong address."
"Clara!" her father admonished her. She looked up at him with slight confusion before she realized he was probably telling her off for being rude. Whoops.
"Sorry," she said after a pause. Thaddeus just chuckled.
"May I come in?" the man requested, looking back at Mr. Goldstein. The patriarch of the family considered the strange man for a moment, glanced at his daughter, then opened the door further and stepped aside. Thaddeus crossed the threshold and strode purposefully into the living room, taking a seat on the sofa. Mr. Goldstein sat in the armchair across from him, a befuddled look upon his face, and Clara perched on the arm of her father's chair, a wary look upon hers. The man smiled and reached into his suit jacket, pulling out a letter in a crisp envelope with a wax seal. He held it out to Clara, and the young girl got up and crossed the room to take it.
She inspected the envelope first. It was addressed in emerald ink to Miss Clara Goldstein, and the address was correct. It was looking more and more likely that they had the right person. She flipped over the envelope to reveal a crest with a lion, a snake, an eagle, and a badger on different coloured backgrounds surrounding the letter H--for Hogwarts, she assumed--and a banner underneath. Looking closer, she was able to read the words "
draco dormiens nunquam titillandus.
" Never tickle a sleeping dragon? What kind of motto was that? She glanced up at Thaddeus, the scepticism plain on her face. He motioned for her to open it.
Sliding a finger underneath the seal, she broke it open and removed two folded sheets of heavy paper. No, parchment. Who used parchment anymore? The longer she waited for answers, the more questions she accumulated. Clara opened the first letter, her eyebrows climbing up her forehead as she quickly scanned its contents.
At the top of the page, in large letters, were the words "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
The look she sent her father screamed very clearly, "Why did you let this lunatic into our house?"
Mr. Goldstein had no idea what the letter said, but he nonetheless began to regret his decision to open the front door.
Clara continued reading. She'd apparently been accepted to a school for wizards. The next page held a list of outlandish school supplies, including a pewter cauldron and a pointed cap. If this was a prank, someone had put a ridiculous amount of effort into something that was doomed to fail. No matter how professional the letter looked, or how imaginative it was, Clara wasn't stupid--one would have to be exceedingly gullible to fall for something this silly.
The motive was hard to discern. For the life of her, she couldn't think of anyone who would pull this sort of prank on her, or why they would do so. But the fact remained that it was obviously fake. She'd figure out the details later.
She looked up to find 'Thaddeus' staring at her. She opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't quite know where to start.
"Let me get this straight," she finally began. "'Hogwarts' is a school for witches and wizards, and you're here to convince me that I'm one of them?"
Whatever Mr. Goldstein had expected to hear, that was not it. He looked at his daughter incredulously and rose from his seat, taking the letter from her hand and skimming it for himself. The surprise quickly turned to derisiveness as he peered up at the stranger, adjusting his glasses.
'Thaddeus' simply nodded, his face serious. "Yes."
Clara laughed scornfully. "I may be ten, but I'm not an idiot."
"Of course you're not an idiot. You skipped a grade in muggle school, that's why we approached you a year early."
"Muggle. Non-magical."
"Look," Clara rolled her eyes, "while I appreciate the world-building you put into this, I'm finding it hard to suspend my disbelief when your magical school requires its students to buy pointed hats."
"They're only for special occasions."
"If that's all you're here for," Mr. Goldstein interrupted, folding the letter back up and tossing it dismissively on the coffee table. "I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave."
"If that's all? Of course that's not all! I still have to take her shopping, and--"
"You're not taking my daughter anywhere." The middle-aged maths professor was by no means intimidating, but his gaze was steady and his voice firm. Clara looked between the two uncomfortably, unsure of how to proceed.
'Thaddeus' straightened indignantly. "Mr. Goldstein, I must insist--"
"What are you going to do, turn me into a toad? Get out."
"You don't believe me."
"What gave it away?"
"I can prove that magic is real, if that would help."
The two Goldsteins gazed at the stranger with identically sceptical expressions. It was Clara who spoke.
"Fine. Prove it."
"What would you like me to do?"
She narrowed her eyes at him, searching for some kind of trick. She would have expected him to have his own rehearsed routine, but he was asking her for suggestions? Very well, she'd give him a suggestion.
"Make the sofa disappear."
The man stood up and pulled a stick from his sleeve. Clara raised her eyebrows. He smiled, turned around to face the sofa, pointed his stick/wand/thing, and said, "
The sofa vanished. Clara blinked. In the back of her mind, she recognized the word as Latin. In the front of her mind, she searched for any way that could have possibly happened without magic.
"Where did it go?" she asked, stepping forward and waving her hand through where the sofa should be. It passed through empty air.
"Nowhere," said 'Thaddeus'.
"Well, that's not possible. The Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. It had to have gone somewhere. Can you bring it back?"
"Ah, sort of. Not the exact sofa, but I can conjure a replica."
She turned to look at him incredulously. If she'd actually believed him capable of vanishing their furniture, she probably would have asked for something different. As it was, the sofa was apparently lost forever. 'Thaddeus' shrugged apologetically before waving his wand again with another incantation. The sofa--or a replica, apparently--returned to its original position. She shook her head in disbelief.
"That's not...that doesn't make any sense," she said, looking to her father for support. Mr. Goldstein looked thoroughly perplexed.
'Thaddeus' gazed at the two expectantly. Clara, faced with this new evidence, tentatively began to entertain the notion that perhaps this man really was named Thaddeus Pritchard, and he really was telling the truth.
But good scientists never came to their conclusions based off a single test.
"What else can you do?" she asked.
He shrugged. "Lots of things. I can apparate, I can--"
"What's that?"
"Apparation? Like this," he said, and promptly disappeared with a
. Clara flinched, then looked around, wondering where he'd gone.
There was a knock at the door. She practically ran around the corner to pull it open, and found him standing on the front step as if he'd never come in at all.
She wondered if she really needed another test. By this point, she was fairly convinced that, if not magic, at least
impossible was happening, and it probably wasn't a prank.
But then came the matter of her acceptance letter. Because, if they assumed for the moment that magic was real, and she had received an invitation to attend a school for it, then that meant…
"Can I do that too?"
She didn't think she'd truly believe that it wasn't some trick unless she did it herself. The existence of magic did, after all, go against everything she'd ever learned or believed. And while scientists were required to accept when their beliefs were debunked, she wasn't sure if that applied when the belief was science itself.
"Eventually, yes," Thaddeus replied. "Though you'll have to learn how. That's what Hogwarts is for."
"But how do you know I have the potential?"
"Have you ever noticed strange things happening around you? Maybe when you get upset?"
Clara thought about it, absentmindedly stepping aside to let Thaddeus into the house again, despite her father's wary expression.
She had, in fact, noticed that weird things happened when she got upset. But correlation was not causation. Had anything happened that couldn't be better explained by something non-magical?
Well there was the time two years ago when all of Marissa Harisson's hair fell out. Clara had been reading a book during playtime, minding her own business, when Marissa came up behind her and started tugging on her hair. To anyone else, this may have been annoying, but not particularly upsetting. Clara, however, had made it very clear that she despised being touched. It made her skin crawl uncomfortably. When she turned around to tell the other girl to stop, Marissa took her book from her hands to see what she was reading. Clara, frustrated at the girl's lack of a concept of personal space, had yanked Marissa's hair in return...and then it all fell out. The girl shrieked, called her a freak, and then hid inside the toilets for the rest of the day.
Yes, there wasn't really another explanation for that.
She looked at Thaddeus, then her father, then back to Thaddeus. "So...assuming I can do...magic, what does that entail?"
She had so many questions. Firstly, was there an entire society of magical people that nobody knew existed? And if so, how did people not discover that magic existed, even by accident? And how did magic work anyway? Was it not incompatible with the natural laws of the universe? Were all the great scientists wrong--Newton, and Lavoisier, and Dalton…? No, that couldn't be right. Maybe magic followed similar rules. Maybe the wizards just didn't realize it.
In any case, she needed to learn more.
"Well," Thaddeus began. "We'd need to go to Diagon Alley to get all of your supplies--with your father's permission, of course," he said hurriedly, glancing at Mr. Goldstein, "and then, starting the first of September, you would attend Hogwarts. I'd take you to the train station, show you to the platform, and you'd stay at Hogwarts until June and learn about magic."
"It's a boarding school?" Mr. Goldstein cut in.
"Well, yes."
Mr. Goldstein hesitated. "We're going to need some time to think about this. I'll have to discuss it with my wife."
"Of course. I'll come back in two weeks?"
"Er...yes, two weeks should be fine."
"Excellent. Well, until then…" he bowed his head at them both. "Farewell. I do hope you decide to join us, Clara, I think you'd be a wonderful addition to the student body."
And with that, he stepped out the door once more and disappeared with another
"O...kay," Clara said slowly, closing the door behind him. She shared a look with her father, then walked back into the living room and collected her book from the floor, her head spinning.
Ten minutes later, the door opened to admit Mrs. Goldstein, returning from work. Mr. Goldstein sighed, rubbed his forehead, and went to greet his wife.
"There's something we need to tell you…"

|Son Heung-min, the forward of Tottenham Hotspur, leaves South Korea to join his team at Incheon International Airport, on July 16. / Yonhap
By John Duerden
On July 31, South Korea's men will start training for the soccer tournament in the 2018 Asian Games though Son Heung-min will not be there. The forward will be in the United States with Tottenham Hotspur. The opposition will be a little more glamorous with pre-season friendly games against Roma, Barcelona and AC Milan.
The star has been named in the Korean roster however, just that he will not be released by the London club until after the start of the English Premier League season on August 11. The Asian Games kick off three days later in Indonesia. Son will feature for Spurs in the opening game of the season against Newcastle and then will jet off to Southeast Asia for international commitments. It is not ideal for Korea as the 26 year-old will not be able to take part in any of the training and preparations and will arrive in Indonesia jet-lagged and tired.
Yet there is no other way. Tottenham is under no obligation to release the player. The Asian Games is not part of the recognized soccer season and so Korea has to ask nicely. The only reason Spurs is allowing this to happen, and the only reason why Son is so desperate to play, is that winning gold at the tournament grants military exemption.
Should this happen then Son heads back to England to continue his career in the world's biggest league safe in the knowledge that he does not have to return home in the next couple of years for a 21-month long tour of duty with the K-League's military club.
Despite the uncertainty, Son signed a new contract at Tottenham on Friday. He is now tied to the club until 2023, a reward for these three successful seasons in England in which he has become loved by Spurs fan and respected by everyone else.
"I'm very happy to sign a new contract. I hope to see you this season at the new stadium," Son said in a video message that referred to the club moving to a new 61,000 capacity stadium.
It remains to be seen how long Son is away from Europe. Korea will be hoping to contest the final of the Asian Games on Sept. 1 and would therefore miss league games against Fulham, Manchester United and then Watford on Sept. 2. There is then an international break until Sept. 15.
It remains to be seen whether South Korea's senior team selects the player for yet to be arranged friendly games or allows Son to return to London to rest in order to be ready for English Premier League action when it resumes. Spurs will surely prefer the latter option.
It also remains to be seen which teams Korea will face in Indonesia. The original draw placed the Taegeuk Warriors in a group that contained Bahrain, Malaysia and Kyrgyzstan. It was a fairly welcome group but United Arab Emirates and Palestine had been omitted from the original draw and a new selection is due soon.
The uncertainty will soon be over _ for Korea, Son and Spurs.

Wouldn't it be awesome if you had more free time to do things like relax in your jammies and indulge on coffee and donuts from the comfort of your bed? Everything in our lives is centered around time, and how we use it.
Whether you are a student, a mother or a business woman, I am sure it's safe to say that we all often feel like there aren't enough hours in the day. We, as women, wear many different hats and cracking the time management code can help to provide balance in the different areas of our lives. Without balance, we often become overworked and overstressed, which can lead to exhaustion, sickness, negativity and frustration. I thought I would spend today sharing some tips on how I manage my time between my work/school, family and "me time".
| Establish Priorities |
The first, and most beneficial, tip that I have is to establish your priorities. In our lives, we just don't have time for everything, so, we have to decide what is most important. There are things that can wait, things that can be delegated, and things that we honestly don't even need to do. For me, my first priority right now is school. But, I also don't allow myself to put it on a pedestal so high that I lose sleep, or don't leave time for anything else. There has to be a balance between your priorities, and I encourage you to start by figuring out what that is in your life. Remember that in our lives, we also have a "most important role", and by setting our priorities straight, we can do that role extremely well. Of course, there is no way to do everything perfect, and that's why we have to establish priorities.
| Creating a Schedule |
Create a schedule for how you plan to use your time. I want to emphasize the word plan because let's be honest, no one can actually predict how life is going to go, but we can try to give our best estimates. The way I do this is by using a planner. By nature, I am a very organized person, so using a planner and making it color coded and all that jazz, is basically part of my DNA. But don't be turned away from this if organization isn't your strong suit. Using a planner is simple, if you have the right one. I personally like planners that offer a large "monthly view" page, as well as a breakdown of each day with lots of space to write. Here, here, and here are some of my favorite planners. Every Sunday I dedicate anywhere from 15-30 minutes to planning out my week. When you sit down to plan things out, ask yourself these questions…
- What HAS to be done this week? Meetings, assignments, appointments?
- How much time is required for these things? Driving time?
- What are my priorities and goals for the week?
- What does my month look like? Are there any important dates I need to jot down?
Once you have found a planner that works for you, then create a system. For me, I use post it notes and color coding! I constantly am writing things down on the post its and sticking them into my planner. I have different colors for different types of notes. I use the small post its for daily tasks or notes, as these things can change and I really like to avoid scratching things out. Another planner tip is to put empty check boxes next to your tasks. This way, once completed, you can put a check in the box!
| Getting up Earlier |
It's true when I tell you that I am NOT a morning person. I am 100% a night owl, but I have learned lately that by getting up earlier I can expand the hours that I have to work with during the day and am overall less stressed. I am still working on this, and it is all about baby steps. Start by waking up 20 minutes earlier than normal, then 30 minutes and so on. Once you can work your way up to an hour, you will be so surprised at what it can do for your day, and time management in general. My challenge to you is to try getting up 30 minutes earlier than normal this week. Get ready for the day, eat a good breakfast, answer some emails, throw in some laundry etc. Doing this will allow you to free up more time in the afternoon or evenings and do something you actually enjoy!
Recently, I have been getting up much earlier than I used to. Starting my day early and getting some of my tasks out of the way allows me to have more free time during the day, (sometimes I even have time for a nap!) and I find myself being able to go to sleep at a normal time instead of being behind and staying up late rushing to finish tasks.
| Planning Out Home Maintenance, Relationship and Personal Time |
- Home Maintenance
No one likes to spend 7 hours cleaning their house, getting stuck with the chirping alarm or dealing with a burnt out lightbulb when you don't have replacements . I like to plan out my home maintenance. Every week I dedicate 15-30 minutes to wiping down counters, dusting, cleaning my toilets, cleaning the floor, vacuuming etc. You would be surprised how dirty baseboards or fans can get if you never clean them… By dedicating time every week to keep up with my home, it never gets to a point where I have to spend more than 30 minutes cleaning. This is awesome!! I also keep a stock of light bulbs and batteries to avoid any situations where I need to fix something, like mentioned above, but don't have the time to go out and get what I need.
- Relationship Time
In our lives, we are constantly distracted by our busy schedules, and electronics…this affects our relationships y'all! When I say relationships, I am talking about with your significant other, family and friends. My time management tip for this is to dedicate undistracted time to focus on your relationships each week. Whether this means a lunch or coffee, phone free, or a date night without distractions. This sounds weird, but during these times, focus on unproductive conversations. This means, talk about things that don't have a timeline or a purpose. Be random, have fun, laugh, reminisce, and most importantly stay off your phone for at least 30 minutes. Plan for this time, guys. It is so important!
- Personal Time
This is time that most ladies forget. "Me time" is so so important to our health and our sanity.. let's be real. Life can be hectic and overwhelming at time but planning for 10 minutes – 1 hour of time to yourself is something you really need to start doing. Some things I do for my "me time" is taking a bubble bath, getting a manicure, walking around Target by myself, or just sitting outside and being quiet. A lot of times we focus all of our time on others, which is a great quality, but taking care of ourselves and having even just 10 minutes to breathe and regroup helps us to be more successful and well balanced.
Do y'all have any time management tips that you swear by? If so, I'd love to know about them!!

Wild Spanish Mustangs
Wild Spanish mustangs used to roam the entire coast of North Carolina. Today, after bounties and development, there are only 100 horses left at the northern end. Fortunately, they now have a protected status and are free to roam.
While they may look tame, they are indeed wild. Always keep at least 50 feet away from them and never feed them. A change in their diet causes painful bloat and can kill them.
The mustangs are smaller than domestic horses we see today. They also run the risk of inbreeding because they are in a small area and they are a small herd. The National Wildlife Refuge and the Wild Horse Fund work to keep the horses healthy, to mange their numbers, and to reduce their inbreeding. These horses are listed as critically endangered.
Above, two stallions fight over the rights to the mare in the foreground. The horses travel around in harems of about 4-5 horses.
Above, an egret rides on the back of a horse while it eats. Egrets and wild mustangs have a symbiotic relationship. The egret feeds on the files that gather around and on the horses.

Have Fun!
When was the last time you let yourself have fun? Did you free yourself of worry and stress?
We forget to play. It's very easy to get caught up in being an adult and all the responsibilities that go with it. When we forget to play, we stop learning, we stop experimenting, and we stop exploring.
Whatever your favorite pastime, give yourself permission to not be perfect at it. For example, if you are skateboarding, go ahead and fall trying a new stunt. If you are hiking, take a new path that you haven't hiked. If you are painting or drawing, let yourself get sloppy, just freeform it for a couple sheets. If you are a musician, play incongruent notes or try a new technique.
Regardless of your pastime, the point is to push yourself in a direction you haven't gone. Don't worry about the end product or result. You aren't trying to be perfect and you aren't trying to please anyone. Just have fun trying something different.

Harpers Ferry Historic District
In Jefferson County, at Harpers Ferry, WV, the Harper's Ferry National Historic District preserves this jewel among Revolutionary War era towns, also protected as part of the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. Located at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers, the area is best known as the site of John Brown's raid on the Federal arsenal there in 1859, an attempt to seize weapons for a insurrection of slaves. "Stonewall" Jackson also made the town his base of command during part of the Civil War. Revolutionary War-era homes and shops line the town's cobblestone streets. Thomas Jefferson said of the ferry area that: "The passage of the Patowmac through the Blue Ridge is perhaps one of the most stupendous scenes in Nature." Thousands of tourists visit the town every year.

nature of scepticism (feel the irony) will have been interested in recent FT coverage of stock market analysts' reluctance to write "sell" notes on the companies they cover.
In theory, the distribution of sell, hold and buy ratings should be equal. Yet Bloomberg found that 60% of analysts' ratings are "buy", and "buy"/"hold" ratings together outnumber "sell" notes by 9 to 1.
One chief of US equity strategy was brave enough to be quoted as saying, "There is clearly a lack of willingness of management to deal with analysts who are highly critical."
McKinsey research, discussed here, has also found that analysts are "typically overoptimistic, slow to revise their forecasts to reflect new economic conditions, and prone to making increasingly inaccurate forecasts when economic growth declined."
It seems likely to be self-defeating to obviously exclude or limit critical analysts' participation in briefings - possibly a sell signal in itself. Or at least a signal that everyone should start asking a lot more questions. But ultimately the research highlights the fact that, for all the law on disclosure and directors duties, the stock market is just that - a sales forum.
Let the buyer beware.
