My name is Dagnydarling, and I'm an alcoholic.
Sometimes you wake up on a Monday and try to kick the damned dog that keeps trying to sleep in your bed that you hate and smells like garbage. And then you realize that it's not a dog, it's a human. And… why is there sand everywhere? Is that a broken glass? Oh my god, and then you discover that it's your ex-boyfriend's ex-roommate in bed next to you and he's only in his super tight, kind of shiny boxer briefs…. And you can't do anything so you just lay back down and pray that if you go back to sleep you'll wake up and he won't be there anymore. And if you're really lucky, that wound on your arm will heal and your hangover will disappear.
But, it doesn't. And it's Monday. Which means that you have to figure out how to be a grown up, get your shit together and brush your hair and get to work.
That was my morning. It's been a long time since I've been that girl, piecing together my life from the far corner of my bed praying that I made it home with my credit card, ID and phone. And… ugh. He's still there… Was he always so cute though? Wait, when did he get all those tattoos? Am I… no… Wait, am I attracted to this guy? What the hell happened?
Evidently, we spent the evening in very deep, very emotional conversations planning our long distance relationship, since he's in the army and lives across the country. I don't even have opinions aside from being baffled and still being annoyed that there is sand everywhere. And, I'm not sure… but I have a crush on him?
36 hours of drinking. Straight booze. And really pathetically adorable drunk people confessing their love. The holidays, it would seem, are bad for my liver.
Stay tuned.
Tuesday Evening Musings From Your Favorite Dear Abby Wannabe.
In re-reading a lot of my posts, I tend to write heavily about first dates. Not so much second ones, or third ones, or gulp, break ups. And as I'm sure everyone will agree- that's mostly because break ups SUCK. Like, suck hard. Perhaps I'm fortunate because I only had one really awful break up that made me a complete bucket of crazy… but I survived it. I came through the other end with only a slightly alarming drinking problem.
But- because I'm a good person and I have not much else to write about, I'm going to go ahead and tell you how I was able to move on. Because that shit is hard. And sometimes you need a tore-up 23 year old girl with a laptop to tell you how life works. It's cool.
1. Get you some friends. Good ones. The last thing a broken hearted, melodramatic girl needs are girls who give shitty advice or just judge you as you cry into your
bottle glass of wine. Recruit the girls who bring you more bottles of wine to be your support system, not the judgy ones.
2. Leave it be. Just don't. I know, you think you have something really important to say… If only you had told him that one thought you had! He would totally still be in love with you! …Only, he wouldn't. So when you want to pick up the phone/email/blog/twitter (technology is not your friend), punch yourself or something. Or go back to the bottle of wine. But do NOT make contact. Just keep reminding yourself: out of sight, out of mind. Then repeat.
3. On the opposite end of #2, don't let him jerk you around. They don't do that because they are having genuine second thoughts, they do that because they are genuinely terrified of being alone. I'm sure you're lovely, but if he wanted you, he'd be with you.
4. Watch He's Just Not That Into You and cry for a little while.
5. Cry some more. I don't really get (or like) the girls who say, "I just got over him. I turned off my emotions and I'm over it." No you're not you freak of nature! You're dying on the inside. Stop pretending like your heart works better than mine. At the risk of suppressing all those emotions and having them burst out at the worst possible moment and embarrassing the bananas out of you- feel what you have to feel. Embrace the emotion, accept it, let it go.
6. Don't get fat. Tempting, I know. But that "Nobody will ever love me again and I'm awful and oh my god I'm just going to wear these pajamas until I die of loneliness" is not a good plan. Again, call your friend and drink.
7. But don't drink too much! This will make you fat. And maybe make you cry… okay, it's totally gonna make you cry and your beer belly will be laughing at you and you'll just want to die all over again. So balance the booze with something that makes you feel good about yourself.
8. People LOVE that saying "The best way to get over someone is to get under someone new." That might work. But I think it just makes you extra crazy, and a whole lotta desperate and maybe an HIV patient. Triple threat, and I promise, you will only be distracted but not for very long.
9. Keep going… Just keep doing what you do. Don't let a break up tell you anything about yourself except that you are ONE step closer to finding the right guy. So that's exciting, in a bitter sweet way.
10. Have faith that you will, one day, be able to see him from across a patio and say to yourself, "oh, there's the guy who broke my heart so many months ago." And then that thought will be swiftly followed by, "Wait… am I… okay?"
And you will be.

If anything could make Clevelanders forget, even momentarily, about the travails of their football team this week, it's the fact that Braylon Edwards was busted for a DUI early this morning in New York.
In a city with more cabs than people, playing for a team that will send someone to get your car if you get drunk, Edwards decided it was best to get in the car all liquored up and drive himself.
Here's his mugshot. Or this could be a homeless person. We're not sure.

|T-chan's Halloween Puff-Pastry-Custard-Cream delights
|Trick or Treat!
This is a blog about raising a half Aussie, half Japanese family in Adelaide Australia. Over this time we've been learning how to handle mixed-marriages here in Australia, and also the challenges of raising a child of two cultures in Adelaide - and raising a family as part of that city. This blog has photos... (most probably a good many being of L-kun)... stories... recommendations and warnings. Hopefully it also provides an insight into the difficulties - and the joys - of mixed cultures.

Get well soon all of you!ReplyDelete
Thanks - L-kun has another night of fevers... and both my wife and I are still having high-temperatures (but at least my cough is going).
頑張っています... I'll do my best.
I am not a fan of Halloween. (But I really should type up my Halloween post, huh?) I remember when I came to Japan 18.5 years ago...Halloween WHAT? Now, we get a little tiny section of goods at the supermarket. I can't decide if this makes me happy or not. Could really do without the whole ordeal. I'll explain more in my post...when I get the gumption to write it up. : )
L-kun looked very scary in his costume!
Hope you all are getting better!
Finally getting better (then again it's now mid-November). The flu going through Australia at the moment is very persistent.ReplyDelete

Emmie's Sweater
I made another dog sweater, this time for my friend's second chihuahua, Emmie. The pattern is from the April 2009 issue of Crochet World, "Walking the Dogs" by Treva McCain (the male dog sweater) (pg 46). I used a bright multi yarn because it is actually for a female chihuahua. I gave the sweater to my friend, for a fitting - to try on her dog, Emmie... (I made a different one for Bambi, her other chihuahua, in 2007).
It turned out that after a fitting, the measurements needed to be adjusted - the coat was too long. I shortened it, then added a turtleneck collar (requested by my friend) and a little ruffle at the bottom (since it is for a female dog). I should have pics of Emmie modeling it soon, too.
The colors were a big hit, and since it is 100% acrylic, it's machine washable, a big must for dog sweaters!!!
This was a super fast, fun project, even with the fitting and adjustments I made. Now I am wanting another one, this time for my "baby", Maisy!

How cute!
My husband won't let me put sweaters, ties, hats, or anything else on our dog that isn't a collar. He's such a stodge.

Europe a step away from copyright reform: For education and the spreading of knowledge or …?
As one of numerous activities of the European Parliament conducted as part of a formal procedure laying down the foundations for the upcoming EU copyright reform, members of the European association COMMUNIA presented the results of their months-long campaign, which, owing to its insistence on the significance of gearing copyright reform to the requirements of 21st-century education, has also been joined by the National and University Library in Zagreb. Maria Rehbinder, member of the Copyright Working Group at LIBER, the Association of European Research Libraries, spoke as the representative of the library sector at this event, which took place in Brussels on 21 June 2017.
COMMUNIA's campaign was launched in March 2017 in response to the European Commission proposal presented to the European Parliament for the purpose of introducing reforms into EU copyright regulations, since the adoption of this proposal without necessary modifications and amendments would not eliminate the existing barriers significantly obstructing contemporary educational processes, which are daily becoming increasingly more dynamic owing to the advancement of digital technologies and the related strengthening of cross-border cooperation between educational institutions.
The event's key message to the members of the European Parliament focused precisely on the need for all policymakers to realise the extent to which adequate copyright laws are crucial to contemporary education. Highlighting this, and the fact that educators are almost entirely left out of decision-making processes in the field of copyright legislation, speakers at the event presented many experiences of educators at all levels and in all fields of education, vividly showing the variety of ways in which current copyright regulations act as an obstacle to education, and thus by extension to the spreading of knowledge. Teachers around Europe are daily confronted with situations where, due to possible copyright infringement, they either have to withhold valuable content and information from their students or make them available by risking copyright violation. Even in the Nordic countries, whose experiences, in particular those of Finland, were presented by Ms Rehbinder and where the so-called extended collective licensing (ECL) model has been rather effectively implemented in relation to educational activities for quite a long time, current practices, according to which exclusively the participants of some course may use course materials, which must be entirely removed after the course, considerably limit the use of teaching materials.
Additionally highlighting the problem of compensations for using copyrighted works as part of teaching materials to publishers that are not necessarily the holders of rights to these works but are getting compensations anyway on account of their membership in societies acting as "blanket representatives" for its members, Rehbinder advocated a "mandatory exception" from the unreasonably restrictive and limiting implementation of copyright laws in relation to educational activities, thus voicing the opinion of "thousands of educators, researchers, innovators, libraries and scholarly institutions." This exception should encompass educational activities physically conducted in all institutions with educational function as well as those conducted online, which also includes those organised as part of international cooperation. Such comprehensive exception for all public institutions having an educational role and educators involved in their activities was also the principal demand put forward by the rest of the speakers, including the representatives of COMMUNIA who continue to emphasise how giving precedence to licensing over exception(s) would only leave all institutions performing an educational role with an even more complex copyright labyrinth than the one they are already faced with. Only the introduction of an all-embracing exception may ensure unhindered education in dynamic contemporary environment based on advanced, but what is even more important socially inclusive digital technologies, and in this way create conditions necessary for the growth of knowledge as the basis for further social, economic, technological, scientific and cultural development of Europe.
COMMUNIA, whose representatives are announcing the continuation of their initiative aimed at the expansion of the public domain within the digital environment, has recently joined a campaign for the support of Diego Gómez, a Columbian postgraduate that has been facing criminal charges for the violation of copyright for the last three years on account of his sharing of a master's thesis by a fellow scholar on the Scribd platform for research purposes. COMMUNIA's involvement in this case serves as a reminder that the need to bring copyright legislation in line with the requirements of the contemporary digital environment is truly a global issue. The fact that even after being acquitted of these charges by the Bogotá criminal court this June, the author of the paper in question filed an appeal owing to which Gómez is again facing the prospect of spending up to eight years in prison, a sentence harsher even than the maximum sentence for human trafficking in Columbia, says enough about how necessary it is to carefully re-examine and appropriately modify copyright regulations. It remains to be seen whether the members of the European Parliament will fully realise this and vote in such a copyright reform that will be possible to use as a model on a global level.

Recently in London I attended a briefing at which the new Chair of HSE, Martin Temple, spoke on a number of wide ranging issues. One of his key messages surrounded tackling ill health; a core area of the HSE's 'Helping Great Britain Work Well' strategy. The strategy advocates collective action to improve health outcomes for workers. Earlier prevention is clearly the key, as it is more cost effective and leads to better overall results.
The recent HSE statistics for 2015/16 (see table) shows that 1.3 million people are suffering from a work-related illness; the costs to industry and the public purse runs into billions. Quite obviously tackling that figure will not only help the individuals concerned and raise morale within the workforce, but also lead to increased productivity and importantly a reduction in the financial burden on the NHS.
Section 2 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 already imposes on employers a general duty to ensure the 'welfare' of employees - so the ability for the HSE to enforce in this area exists already. What seems to be clear is that it will become an area which businesses need to prioritise from a health and safety point of view going forward.
In order to do that business will need to understand where the health risks are within their workforce and gain more of an understanding of the lifestyle of their workers, in order to inform awareness programmes and to effect significant culture change. If you are in a high risk industry (construction/agriculture for example), how many of your employees eat breakfast before starting an early shift? If some do not, how might that affect their overall well-being, but equally importantly their concentration by mid-morning?
One of the other areas Martin Temple emphasised is something that the team at Birketts has been propounding for a long time – risk management should be proportionate and targeted to the specific risks of the business. The interface between the business and others does tend to be a problem area; for instance within contractors/sub-contractors, how do you appoint, check competence, manage and monitor? Managing the real risks should not involve reams of paper, but an informed, proportionate and understandable approach. Good health and safety management should be a business enabler; it goes hand-in-hand with good productivity and service delivery. If you feel it is a burden you are probably approaching it in the wrong way.
Martin Temple fired a warning shot across the bows of what he termed the "bad sub-set" of consultancy businesses, who he described as providing costly off-the-shelf products that had little relevance to the specific businesses' needs, were lacking proportion and did not properly prioritise risk. Those consultants, he said, require (regulatory) action. In this team we do on occasion have to pick up the pieces where a company believes its systems are in place and working. These companies tend to have lots of paperwork about what they should do, which they paid substantial money to obtain, but in fact the real risks have not been sufficiently identified or addressed.
Birketts has a team of Safety Specialists who provide practical, straightforward health and safety advice. If you feel your business could benefit from our intervention please contact a member of the team.

The best way to select the Weight Loss Pill that is ideal for you.
In fact, there are thousands of weight loss pills available on the current market, a lot of which can be a complete waste of cash. Made economical, with harmful ingredients, elaborate packaging and mad promises,'Reduce 15kg per week!'. Do not squander your cash
When choosing a fat loss pill, then you honestly have to be selecting the ideal kind for your requirements or you are wasting your cash, so I have compiled this simple guide in line with the most frequent questions I have asked regarding weight loss pills.
The most Well-known types of fat reduction pills are:
All fat reduction pills should be taken together with a wholesome diet and regular exercise. Eating vast quantities of food and carrying a fat reduction pill is going to do your body no high, and weight reduction will probably be nonexistent.
They work by raising the metabolic rate in the entire body so that you will burn off more calories even after resting. Various studies have proven thermogenic to be useful around six months after their effect can begin to burn. Therefore it's suggested to utilize thermogenic for six months and have a couple of months off before starting again. This prevents your system from adapting to their influence and preserves their efficacy. Thermogenics include stimulants like caffeine, so if you're allergic to these, it is ideal to use another kind of fat burner.
All Natural Forskolin
Stimulant Free Fat Burners – if you would like to steer clear of stimulants, then this is the course for you. They operate on precisely the very same approaches as routine fat burners but utilize mostly herbal procedures to improve metabolism. Their outcomes aren't as striking as ordinary fat burners, but we're still anticipated to observe a regular continuous fat loss.
Appetite Suppressants – Lots of men and women are obese because of eating too far, even if you have a wholesome diet, you can't say'no more,' also eat an excessive amount of food. So eating food will lower your weight, however, if you're so utilized to eating what you need, altering these eating routines feels nigh on impossible. This is the area where appetite suppressants could be prosperous.
Favorite thyroid improving components are guggulsterones along with forskolin pills. Thyroid regulators may work good in conjunction with a proper diet plan and workout regime.
Best Diet Pills for women over 40
Carbohydrate Blockers – Although Carb blockers may be used alone they're usually utilized together with additional fat reduction pills. They work by stopping carbohydrates being metabolized to sugar and fat and thus quitting their absorption. White kidney bean would be that the active ingredient for many carb blockers since it interferes with the enzyme which divides carbohydrates, so they're not converted to fat in the human body.
Fat blockers work by developing a gel fluid round fats in the gut; the fat subsequently becomes too large for the body to consume so that it's excreted via the gastrointestinal system. In theory, you are still able to eat what you need but not as fat is being absorbed by your system. Recall fat blockers will be only successful when you've got a diet that's high in fat. If you're after a low-fat diet effect will be insignificant.
Diuretics – Diuretics aren't a fat burner, but this may function to assist your weight reduction. They'll strip water fat out of the human body but won't burn off any fat. Long-term usage isn't wise. However, they're helping to get a weight reduction'kickstart' or even a quick fix' like a marriage, photo shoot, etc..

Labour: Ben Bradshaw, Exeter's MP since 1997, a former BBC journalistand current Secretary of State for Culture Media & Sport.
Conservative: Hannah Foster, a Human Resources director and (as Hannah Parker) former chair of the party's youth wing Conservative Future.
Liberal Democrat: Graham Oakes, a nurse specialising in care for older people.
Green: Paula Black, a Devon councillor and former teacher.
The statistics
The race is rather interesting, as can be seen from the 2005 results:
A swing of 7% would enable the Conservatives to win Exeter from Labour. This makes it a key battleground this year. Indeed, the Conservative candidate Hannah Foster has said "The Exeter seat decides the country. If Exeter changes hands, the country changes hands, and if it doesn't, it probably won't."
Already glossy leaflets from Conservatives and Labour have come through letterboxes. The Labour leaflet is in the style of a news magazine, but consisting mostly of pieces exclaiming how much the Labour Government has done for the country, and Exeter in particular. No mention of Gordon Brown.
The Conservative eight-page leaflet ("People talk! news - life - photos Delivered FREE by your local Conservatives - at no cost to the taxpayer") is in the style of Hello magazine, and contains lots of photos. It tells you all about the life and values of the candidate Hannah Foster. There is also a case study of a couple who feel let down by Labour during the credit crunch, a picture of David Cameron looking stern while studying a document, and mention of Conservative plans to protect jobs and help "hard-working families".
What will be the key issues for Exeter?
It's not clear yet if there are distinctive issues different from those that will be key nationally. I.e. The economy (particularly how to safeguard public services and jobs while dealing with the deficit), Labour's record, and Conservative values.
The current MP, Ben Bradshaw, is well-liked locally (even though the Twittersphere seems to dislike his TV performances), and he came out well from the expense scandal that engulfed many other MPs. On the other hand, as a government minister since 2001, he has never voted against the government. He has voted for student top-up fees, ID cards, the Iraq war, nuclear power, the hunting ban, 90-day detentions without charge, and reductions in Parliamentary scrutiny of new legislation.
It is possible that the abolition of Exeter's City Council may be a key issue should John Denham make the wrong decision about Devon local government.
What I'd like to know
When the opportunity arises, I would very much like to hear the candidates' views on...
- What are the main problems facing the country in the next parliament?
- How should the deficit be dealt with?
- What practical steps need to be taken to improve public services?
- What needs to be done in relation to climate change?
- How would you revitalise local democracy?
- In what circumstances might you vote against your party?

Wings of History Air museum Marketello Stahltube
The aircraft on display here at the museum (N1381N) is a flyable ¾ scale model of the original that was designed and built by Ignaz Etrich an Austro-Hungarian engineer. Joel A. Marketello built our museum aircraft and equipped it with a Continental A50 (50 HP) engine.
The documents the museum received with this aircraft indicate that the airplane had flown a total of 12 hours prior to its donation.
The wing on the Stahltaube has three spars (the main structural pieces) and was cable braced from a steel tube truss under each wing. At the outer ends of each steel tube is a pair of vertical uprights known as "kingposts."
Stahltaube Cockpit
Etrich's aircraft building began when he was able to obtain two gliders from the inventory of Otto Lilienthal in 1896. Etrich added a six cylinder in line Austro-Daimler engine to his basic design that developed about 100 HP. Original manufacturing took place in Germany, but a legal dispute arose with others over the patent resulting in Etrich abandoning his patent leading to no less than fourteen other companies producing around 500 of the Stahltubes. These companies all made changes to the original design making it very difficult for historians to accurately describe the aircraft.
Karl Illner, the co-engineer on the "Taube" project flew and set the first long range flying record by flying from Vienna, Austria, to Horn, Austria, a distance of 45 miles. In addition a two man endurance record of a Taube lasting four hours and thirty-five minutes took place over Germany.The word "Taube" in German means "dove." This was fitting as the profile of the aircraft represents a dove or bird. The aircraft was first used as a pilot trainer and an observation airplane. What is ironic is that the Taube "dove," which is a symbol for peace, was used to bomb Paris in World War I. A lt. von Hiddessen dropped five small bombs on August 30, 1944.
The stability of the aircraft in flight was considered to be its major asset.

Latest Obsession
We have been watching Daft Punk on YouTube over and over. The top two have been Around the World, and Daft Hands - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. Then we end up watching all the other related videos until I just can't stand it anymore! But I love that Wren is digging Daft Punk! They are one of my top music picks and I can't listen with out moving in some way. I don't have a picture for this post, but watching those videos should be visually entertaining.

Kim Jong-un visits hospital following tourist bus crash in North Korea
A total of 32 Chinese tourists and four North Koreans were killed in the accident.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has visited a hospital where people are being treated after a bus crash killed 32 Chinese tourists and four North Koreans.
Two other Chinese were seriously injured following the crash on Sunday evening when a tourist bus fell from a bridge in North Hwanghae province in southern North Korea.
Photos provided by the North Korean government on Tuesday showed Kim meeting with Ambassador Li Jinjun at the hospital and at the Chinese Embassy.
China's Foreign Ministry said a medical team and diplomats were sent to help. It described the North Korean casualties as "workers". All visitors to North Korea must be accompanied by minders.
Chinese tourists make up the vast majority of visitors to North Korea, where they often pay homage at sites related to China's participation in the 1950-53 Korean War.
China and North Korea share a lengthy border and a traditional friendship. China remains Pyongyang's largest trading partner, although commerce has dropped off by about 90% under United Nations sanctions.
Only about 5,000 Westerners visit the isolated, hard-line communist state each year. Americans have been banned from travelling to North Korea without special permission from the US State Department since September amid concerns about the fate of those detained there in the past.
The cause of the crash was not mentioned. Chinese state broadcaster CCTV showed the mangled wreckage in the dark with rain falling and rescue vehicles on the scene.
North Korean roads are often bumpy and poorly maintained. There is usually no lighting other than headlights at night, even on major roads outside of the cities. Drivers tend to travel at whatever speed they feel is safe, making the roads even more dangerous, particularly when the weather is bad.

R LESTER MAKANG UKHRUL, 21st Dec:
Continuing its drive against selling of expired goods, Tangkhul Mayar Ngala Long (TMNL - Tangkhul Youth Council) on Thursday consigned to flame a large quantity of expired commodities worth around Rs 38,120 which were seized during a surprise check carried out in the main market areas of the town.
Talking to media persons, TMNL president LM Thanmi Shimray informed that the youth council received complaints from the public who said that many traders in different localities indulged in selling expired commodities to the customers. "We acted on the complaints and carried out the check immediately, as part our ongoing drive," he said.
"Huge quantity of contaminated goods worth around Rs 38,120 were seized from a total of 18 shops located in between Dungrei Junction and Viewland bazar areas," he informed, adding that during the checking some traders were caught selling the contaminated goods for the second time.
"All these traders were called to TMNL office and certain fines have been imposed on those repeated defaulters, while others have been strictly warned of stringent actions if found repeating the same unethical trade activities," he said.
The seized commodities included edible items like snacks, fruit juices, beverages, edible oils, and cosmetic products like hair oils, shampoos, lotions from varied brands, he said, while informing that the youth council will continue the drive in the main market areas in the coming days.

It's already November, but designs these great can be appreciated all-year-round. Our Hats Off Graduation Announcement Challenge was all about creating fun, unusual, and memorable graduation announcements. It may have taken a few extra semesters of deliberation and anticipation, but we think that makes this graduating class of special prizes all the more well-deserved! Congratulations to the designers whose designs won in each of our categories below – we give you all straight As in amazing announcements!
Can't Pick Just One Award for the best multi-photo design
"Long Road" by Carrie ONeal
"Long Road" has both beautiful design and lots of photos. Carrie's layered text is clean and unusual, but still lets the customer's photos stand out. We love the concept – the photos from little girl to grad emphasize what a long road graduation is.
Runner Ups: "Now and Then" by lehan paper design | "Memory Lane" by The Social Type
Minibook™ Award for the best Minibook™ format design
"Reflections" by Griffinbell Studio
Lynn never fails to create something truly beautiful! The minibook format gives you lots of opportunity to showcase photos and achievements, while Lynn's beautiful white flourishes add a little something special. Her cayenne and khaki color palette keeps the design chic and modern.
Out of the Box Award for a design that is highly creative
"Periodic Table" by Stacey Hill
How could something so elementary be so striking? Stacey definitely got creative with her "Periodic Table"! The periodic table format is such a unique way to showcase your grad's accomplishments and highlights. We love how it can also give a sense of the grad's interests and strengths.
Runner Up: "Graduation All-Stars" by VOSS
Wild Thing Award for the best edgy/outrageous design
"Star Athlete" by emily elizabeth stationery
If designs could talk, this one would be screaming! Elizabeth's big, bold text imparts so much excitement and confidence. This announcement would definitely capture your attention. Who could help but be excited for the energetic grad who chooses this design?
Runner Up: "Terra Firma" by Susie Allen
Whimsy Award for the best fun or whimsical design
"Cute as a Button" by 2BSquared Designs
Anita's "Cute as a Button" is just that. Her sweet little buttons are an adorably unusual touch and her various textures and stripes work together so well. Her retro vibe somehow still feels so modern and playful for your little grad.
Runner Up: "2012 Layers" by robin ott design
Best design for an elementary or middle school graduation
"three-up" by Up Up Creative
We love how Julie went back to basics for this design – big photos, bold text, and a whole lot of personality for an elementary or middle school grad. The varying colors and broken up blocks of text give the design movement and visual interest without detracting from those large photos. Julie proves that less really can be more!
Runner Up: "Washi Grad" by lehan paper design
Best design for a high school graduation
This diploma is probably much edgier and more modern than the real one! Taleen's mixed type and distressed texture would appeal to any high school grad. We love her unique details like the very official seal and the casual paper-clipped photo.
Runner Up: "Grad Stats" by Kristen Smith
Best design for a college graduation
"Graduating Classy" by Kimberly FitzSimons
Kimberly has a knack for classic cool. Her muted colors, clean stripe, and minimalist text are modern and sophisticated for a college grad. The large photo space is perfect for a big, beautiful portrait. This is one announcement that anybody would be proud to send out!
Runner Up: "Laurel" by Susie Allen1 COMMENT

Elaine Lin
Mme. Lin is one of the most amazing teachers many students know. She is willing to give lots of extra help, and is crystal clear with her instructions. It is really simple to get a good mark if you can take time to study and listen to her lessons. Her instructions match her marking rubrics nearly exactly, and marks taken off/added are all consistent for everybody. Is willing to change and remark stuff if the grade doesn't match the student's understanding. 8/8 very gr8 would r8 again.
My daughter came out of her class knowing less than she did before. Elaine has straight out told my child there is no point of her being in her class. Shame on her.
One of the nicest teachers I've actually had. She's strict but then you actually learn in her class, and if she doesn't like you that's your own fault. Clear instructions and does a good job answering questions
I was in French in Elementary school, then switched to English. She is a very good teacher, she is very clear on instructions, if I have a question I am always welcome to ask. The people that do not do very well in her class are the people that don't try very hard. Her exams are hard, but no too hard that you can't get an A, if you try. Honestly though, she is a bit rude and will call you out in front of the class sometimes.
Ms. Lin is not an incredible French teacher as she is not the best at French. She also can be unfair, have unrealistic expectations and she has a different mood every day.
She's....meh. But generally a good French teacher
her french class is very challenging. she will give out alot of homework and will mark hard. You will most likely get a bad mark but should come out of her class with a lot more french than what you began with.
She's easily the best English teacher at the school. Super helpful, efficient, and fair. I feel like the people who don't enjoy her class are usually the ones who don't care about school whatsoever.
She's one of the best English teachers in the school if you're a good student. Lets you know what is expected very clearly, follow the rules in her class and you'll do well.
Hard class, but she liked me so I good somewhat of a good mark. Very bias
Very strict, but a great teacher with a lot of knowledge outside of her teaching field.
SHE DOESN'T FOLLOW THE SCHOOL POLICY! Elaine penalizes you for not finishing your homework by dropping your mark, not just your work habits(illegal). Which for me, having the ocassional "oops, I forgot my hw!" moments, screwed my mark up really bad
Listen, like all of us, my girl Elaine has her good and bad days. Sometimes she flips over inconsequential things, but all in all, she is an effective teacher. Her class is no walk in the park, though.
probably won't get an A from her....she has hiiiigh expectations....so...good luck if you are in her class!
Get on her good side or you're doomed. If you plan on getting an A in her class forget it. A high B is all that is ever recieved by her.
never had her. i heard shes really nice but none of my friends like her
Ms. Lin's class is soooooo fun. I love her studying tequniques
very temperamental...but still and awesome teacher...some projects are too hard...and i always get into trouble for small things
Ms. Lin has her days when shes happy or when shes really mad. Yor basically hope that its a good day or your doing A LOT of work!
i learned alot of french...more this year than ever...her formulas and teaching techniques really helped me.
i didn't learn much from her class, and getting good marks is hard in this class. Shes nice, but gets really mad sometimes for small things (i would know).
Ms. Lin is the BEST teacher ever!! she's sooo nice and i luv her!! she's also a GREAT teacher!!

Another one, poor man must be getting pretty tired of asking the same old questions all the time about this movie.

Even with all the enthusiasm in the world, Vincent MUST be bored with 'Woods' Q & A's by now.

I know he once said this was his baby so he didn't mind talking about it, but I sure wish someone would come up with some challenging, unique questions. But Vincent will probably be, as always, gracious and polite and answer the same old questions again.

This has to be the least attractive looking cover sent by Oswald Marsh but also at the same time probably the most valuable. This is because of the rare stamp that was used. This 1918 6c+2c olive green has the wider spacing in the surcharge. Only one sheet of a hundred existed for this variety.
A mint example was sold recently for £260. I have not come across a used specimen in an auction and the conclusion is that used items are rare whereas mint examples are seen regularly in major auctions. There should be at a slight premium on this cover which is philatelic. But then this may be the only cover with this stamp. It has a Jesselton cds.
These are my two mint copies together with one with a normal spacing for comparison. Very good fakes do exist so one never knows. But they compare well with my used copy which is most likely to be genuine.
This is a fake used copy with a Kudat cancellation. Only that a 1925 perf 12 stamp with a different shade of colour was used, luckily for us. The fake overprint is very good but the letters look thinner throughout and very important differences include the "O"s being a bit rounder and the "W" slightly wider. But you would need a genuine copy to compare to be certain.

Important Announcement: We will be taking a break this summer from formally meeting as MCs. This break will begin in June and go through the month of August. We hope that by resting this summer - until MCs resume again in September - we would be intentional about being good neighbors and also about taking proper rest (Sabbath) in what God has done through Center Church in the last year.
Missional Communities
We believe an MC is a family of servant missionaries that are committed to growing as disciples and making new disciples. Missional communities are the primary place we learn to live out our identity in Christ within life's everyday rhythms. Every MC is committed to helping one another grow in the gospel and is uniquely committed to making new disciples by sharing and showing the gospel to those they are trying to reach.
Get Connected to a Missional Community
Below is a map of Brenham and where each of our MCs meet on a weekly basis.

When I heard the report on the radio, it sent shivers through me.
The report was not about a current event, but a moment in history, an event that occurred 150 years ago. It still spooked me nonetheless.
Why? The story was about the Civil War Battle of Antietam, waged for one day, Sept. 17, 1862, around Sharpsburg, Md., and went down as the single bloodiest day of combat for the United States.
Yes, it is chilling that 23,000 were killed, wounded or missing after 12 hours of fighting that day. To put that number into perspective, an event like that would have devastated much of today's Otsego County population (24,164, according to the 2010 census).
Yes, this battle became a grim reminder that this war was not all fun and games. In October 1862, photos from the grisly scene were on display in a New York City gallery exposing many to the horrors of the battle.
Yes, the battle also led to President Abraham Lincoln issuing a preliminary proclamation on Sept. 22, 1862, that said he would order the emancipation of slaves on Jan. 1, 1863.
But really, why does this haunt me? Probably because I have visited the Antietam National Battlefield a couple of times, and I have never experienced the feelings it evoked anywhere else.
I will explain, but just to let you know for the record, I am no Civil War buff. I have only visited the battlefields of Antietam and Gettysburg and only because living in Pennsylvania put me in closer proximity to those areas where the Civil War was fought, therefore piquing my longtime interest in American history.
Gettysburg felt "commercial" when I visited there in the late 20th century, but Antietam represented a "step back in time." It seemed like it was still the 1860s when I went there in the 1990s.
I first visited Antietam on a warm, sunny summer day. My second visit occurred on a raw, damp fall day when I met up with a couple other friends from the Midwest who were attending a conference in Washington, D.C., and expressed an interest in going to Antietam while they were in the area.
On both visits as I moved through the battlefield, learning of the carnage at the cornfield, the Sunken Road, the bridge over Antietam Creek, I felt more and more that I wasn't just there with fellow visitors. It almost seemed like the battle was still being waged around me.
The feeling especially hit me at the bridge.
During my first visit, I was alone at the bridge. I remember looking over the side of the bridge into the creek. At that moment, a feeling came over me that is hard to explain, but it felt like soldiers were swarming around me, still trying to take that bridge. I thought I heard battle cries, the pounding of horses' hooves and battle flags whipping in the wind. Or maybe it was the flapping of angels' wings.
I don't really know, but the commotion made me turn a full circle. I saw nothing. I was still all by myself. After a moment, all was quiet again, just me on the bridge and a couple of birds flitting in the tree branches overhead.
I told myself it probably was just my overactive imagination after being bombarded for several hours with the horror of that day back in 1862.
When I visited the battlefield again on that raw, fall day, I had the same feelings, and my friends had strange looks on their faces, too, while at the bridge. Maybe it wasn't just my imagination as we all remarked that we felt something different going on there.
The radio report on the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Antietam brought those memories back. Suddenly, I was back on that bridge, again feeling like the soldiers were still there fighting on and on and on.

The Affluence Network Address – Binary MLM
Thank you for visiting us in search of "The Affluence Network Address" online.
Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to research possibilities for making gigantic ammonts of money with various kinds of internet marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency markets.Bitcoin architecture provides an instructive example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin is an extraordinary intellectual and technical achievement, and it has generated an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and miss out on very successful business models made accessible as a result of growing use of blockchain technology.
It's definitely possible, but it must be able to recognize opportunities no matter marketplace behaviour. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even supposing it's in a BTC trend down can make money by buying the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be ok.
You are able to run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. Anytime you learn to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you get the uptrend will never drop! Always will go down! Viewers incremental increases are more reliable and profitable (most times)
It should be challenging to get more small gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the best way to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be accurate: having modest gains is more lucrative than trying to fight up to the peak. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to take a look at publications than wait for order confirmation when you believe the cost is going down. Secondly, there's more volatility and reward in monies that haven't made it to the profitableness of sites like Coinwarz.

Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, this means the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. A lot of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the variety of bitcoins that are actually circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. So, even the most diligent buyer could not buy all present bitcoins. This scenario is not to suggest that markets usually are not exposed to price manipulation, yet there is no requirement for substantial amounts of money to move market prices up or down. The merest occasions on the planet economy can change the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive.
Since one of the earliest forms of earning money is in cash financing, it's a fact that one can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending sites currently focus on Bitcoin, a few of these sites you might be needed fill in a captcha after a specific time period and are rewarded with a small amount of coins for visiting them. You are able to visit the www.cryptofunds.co web site to locate some lists of of these sites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have very different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they do not have lots of market data and historical perspective for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have fairly poor liquidity as well and it is hard to produce a reasonable investment strategy.
Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running applications with specialized hardware. Mining applications listen for broadcast transactions on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate jobs to process and verify these transactions. Bitcoin miners do this because they can earn transaction fees paid by users for quicker transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas.
Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but they also be a part of more sophisticated smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a trade to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of folks consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows innovative dispute arbitration services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment systems, the blockchain always leaves public proof that a transaction occurred. This can be possibly used in a appeal against businesses with deceptive practices.

The sweetness of the cryptocurrencies is that fraud was proved an impossibility: due to the nature of the protocol where it is transacted. All exchanges on a crypto currency blockchain are irreversible. After you're paid, you get paid. This is not something temporary where your web visitors could challenge or require a refunds, or use unethical sleight of palm. Used, most professionals would be a good idea to utilize a transaction processor, because of the irreversible nature of crypto currency dealings, you should be sure that stability is challenging. With any type of crypto currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous different altcoins, thieves and hackers might get access to your individual tips and therefore steal your cash. Unfortunately, you almost certainly will never obtain it back. It's quite crucial for you yourself to follow some excellent secure and safe methods when dealing with any cryptocurrency. Doing this will protect you from all of these bad events.
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others happen to be designed as a non-fiat currency. Put simply, its backers argue that there's actual value, even through there is no physical representation of that value. The value increases due to computing power, that is, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time frame that's worth an ever declining amount of currency or some sort of reward to be able to ensure the shortfall. Each coin includes many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. The blockchain is where the public record of transactions lives.
The fact that there's little evidence of any increase in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal efforts to regulate it. The reason behind this could be simply that the marketplace is too little for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory attempt. It is also possible the regulators simply don't understand the technology and its implications, awaiting any developments to act.
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are placed into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what makes more of the coin. It may be useful to consider the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are precisely the same. Mining crypto coins means you will really get to keep the full rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your odds of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a much greater potential for solving a block, but the benefit will be divided between all members of the pool, predicated on the number of shares won.
If you're thinking of going it alone, it's worth noting the software configuration for solo mining can be more complex than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter route. This option also creates a steady flow of earnings, even if each payment is small compared to totally block the reward.
In case of the fully functioning cryptocurrency, it could even be exchanged being a thing. Supporters of cryptocurrencies say that this sort of online money is not controlled by a key bank system and is not therefore subject to the vagaries of its inflation. Since there are a minimal amount of goods, this coinis price is based on market forces, letting entrepreneurs to deal over cryptocurrency trades.
Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they don't physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you examine a special address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there is absolutely no digital information held in it, like in the same way that the bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It's nothing more than a representation of value, but there isn't any real palpable type of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions enforced on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can decide how their riches will be managed.

Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too fast, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could rise dramatically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the entire platform of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the raising costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether may result in an adverse change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based company that may lead to company being unable to continue to operate or to cease operation.
The physical Internet backbone that carries data between the different nodes of the network is now the work of several firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), including firms offering long-distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local conduit, which ultimately links in homes and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through any of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private firms, and sometimes by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for last mile-consumers and companies who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the data to stream without interruption, in the right spot at the right time.
While none of these organizations owns the Internet together these firms decide how it works, and established rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's taking place to ascertain how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for example, one needs consent from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to connect to and with her. Concern over security problems? A working group is formed to work with the issue and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to call to get it repaired. If the problem is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which regulate the way in which these issues are solved.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't regulated by any focused business. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a committed promoter badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works current constitutional problems to an individual. Blockchain technology has none of that.
A lot of people prefer to use a money deflation, especially those that desire to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Financial solitude, for example, is great for political activists, but more problematic as it pertains to political campaign funding. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in trade; should you be living paycheck to paycheck, it would take place included in your riches, with the rest allowed for other currencies.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not necessary to comprehend how the procedure works in and of itself, but it's simply important to comprehend that there is a process of mining to create virtual currency. Unlike monies as we understand them today where Governments and banks can simply select to print unlimited quantities (I 'm not saying they are doing thus, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining application, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation.

But the attacking Derrick Rose that we all had been so accustomed to seeing is back and more efficient than ever.
After January 1, Rose's points, field goal percentage, and finishing have all taken a jump. However, his percentage on drives is what's the scariest. He he has attacked the rim with the same frequency yet raised his accuracy by a whopping 14 percentage points, from 44 percent to 58 percent.

Language Learning Strategies Module
Julia Kleinheider and I developed this module for students at the University of Houston (and beyond) who are taking a language class for the first time. The module contains research-based, interactive materials meant to challenge students' perceptions of what it takes to learn a language, and to equip them with the tools they need to succeed.
This website was created as a supplement to the Russian listening courses I taught at Indiana University in the summer of 2015. I created this resource to enable my students to revisit the listening texts and activities we did in class, and to provide them with a wealth of authentic materials and pedagogical support for improving their listening skills.
Nado zhe!
I created these corpus-based web modules for Russian conversation as part of my Ph.D. dissertation research. The purpose of the website is to provide instruction on routine formulas–phrases essential to pragmatic competence. The website uses corpus excerpts, film clips, and practice exercises to help learners of Russian to acquire this language.
For the past few years, I have been maintaining an archive of online language learning resources and websites that can aid learners in their study of Russian. You can browse by level or tag to explore what is available. Each resource is accompanied by suggestions on how to use it to improve your Russian.
Practicum Po-Russki
During the summer of 2009, I taught second-year Russian at Beloit College's Center for Language Studies. I documented that experience here, using a blog to reflect on my teaching for Peter Shaw's Practicum course at the Monterey Institute.
Web-Based Russian Test
I created an online Russian diagnostic test intended for college students who are preparing to study abroad in Russia, which is hosted on ANVILL (A National Virtual Language Lab). The test was designed originally for Dr. Kathleen Bailey's Language Assessment course, then expanded upon for the CALL and Assessment course with Sarah Springer, both in the fall of 2009. Read my reflection on designing this web-based test. I also created a language testing philosophy and resources document for Dr. Bailey's class that focuses on assessment in general and as it relates to Russian and CALL in particular.
Unit Plan Design
This is a unit plan I designed for Dr. Peter Shaw's Curriculum Design class in the spring of 2009. I integrated The Sims 2 to create a series of lessons about planning a dinner party. For more ideas for using The Sims in the classroom, see the links on my Gaming in the Foreign Language Classroom wiki.
Russian Online
Using the social networking platform Ning, I created an online space for learners of Russian to document their independent language study, connect with fellow language learners, ask questions, and share videos and other links. This project was undertaken for Sarah Springer's CALL and Curriculum course in the spring of 2009. Watch a guided tour of Russian Online here.
25 Things in 75 Days
For the Using Internet in Language Teaching course I took with Sarah Springer in January of 2009, I outlined a syllabus for a CALL-enhanced semester-long study abroad course in Russia. The syllabus is presented in Zoho, a suite of online applications that includes a digital notebook, word processor, spreadsheets, wiki, and more.
Russian Culture in Language Podcast (.mp3)
I created a podcast episode for the CALL course Podcasts, Vodcasts, V-blogs in the fall of 2008. This podcast is intended to assist English-speaking intermediate and advanced level students of Russian in better understanding Russian culture and how it relates to language. The podcast consists of a conversation between an American and a Russian on a Russia-specific cultural topic. The first topic is "Bribery in Russia." The podcast is supplemented by a PDF with the phrases mentioned in the episode; listeners should take note of the cultural background given in order to use the phrase list as a resource. Special thanks to Elena Ilina, whose voice you can hear along with mine in this episode!
Russian Podcast Reviews
I researched and reviewed several Russian podcasts for language learners for the CALL course Podcasts, Vodcasts, V-blogs with Sarah Springer in the fall of 2008.
Collaborative Practical Experience Project: Interview with Richard Robin
The final project for Bob Cole's CALL and Pedagogy course was a collaborative practical experience with an educator. I decided to interview Professor Richard Robin at the George Washington University about how he has used technology in teaching Russian.
Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language + CALL
I created this blog in Bob Cole's CALL and Pedagogy course at the Monterey Institute in the fall of 2008. I explored web 2.0 tools and suggested teaching applications.
Kade Collaborati
While working as a graduate assistant at the Teaching and Learning Collaborative at the Monterey Institute, I contributed several posts on educational technologies to our blog: Lingt, Google Earth, Quia, Twitter, Voxopop, PBwiki, StumbleUpon, Cmap, digital media collages, wikis, and digital notebooks.


text: Y5 were invited to Leicester Square to see their Winter window displays. When they arrived they went into the theatre and got hot chocolate and lots of treats. They were then handed their certificates and a voucher for a show. They also went to Santa's grotto and listened to stories. It was great fun!
