In a nine-year retrospective study, sick children with parents whose English proficiency was limited spent 60% longer in hospital than those whose parents spoke fluently, according to Michael Levas, MD, and colleagues from Children's Mercy Hospitals and Clinics in Kansas City, Mo.
They may also be less likely to benefit from home healthcare, Levas and colleagues reported online in Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.
The issue is important, the researchers noted, because a substantial fraction of American residents has limited English proficiency.
When their children get sick, they may have difficulty negotiating the healthcare system, and it has been shown that – in the pediatric emergency setting, at least – limited English proficiency hurts healthcare, they wrote.
But the effect of limited English proficiency in the inpatient setting remains unclear. To help fill the gap, Levas and colleagues looked at what happened to 1,257 children admitted to their hospital from Jan. 1, 2000, to Dec. 31, 2008 for infection requiring prolonged antibiotic treatment.
The main outcome measure was length of hospital stay, but the researchers also studied referrals to home healthcare for the period that data was available -- after 2003.
Overall, most of the parents and caregivers -– some 96.9% -- were proficient in English. The 3.1% who were not were significantly more likely to be Latino and either uninsured or insured by Medicaid (at P<0.001 for both comparisons).
The researchers calculated that the relative length of stay for children whose parents were not proficient in English was 1.6 times that of those whose parents were fluent. The 95% confidence interval ranged from 1.1 to 2.3.
Other factors also came into play, they said. The relative length of stay was higher for those:
- On Medicaid rather than private insurance (OR 1.2, 95% CI 1.1 to 1.4)
- Without a primary care doctor (OR 1.5, 95% CI 1.1 to 2.0)
- Who did not get home healthcare (OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.5 to 1.9)
- Who had a comorbidity in addition to the infection (OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.4 to 2.0)
The additional time in hospital is likely to be costly, the researchers said. Although they did not perform formal calculations, the average daily cost for an inpatient bed at their hospital was about $2,500.
Given that the median stay was about four days, that suggests that parents with poor English proficiency faced extra costs of about $6,000.
Patients whose parents were not proficient in English were also less likely to receive a home healthcare referral, at 6.9% versus 32.6%, the researchers found.
In a multivariate analysis, the less proficient families were 80% less likely to get home healthcare (OR 0.2, 95% CI 0.04 to 0.8), Levas and colleagues reported.
They cautioned that the study is retrospective, so that data on severity of illness was not available. And, the data come from a single institution and may not apply widely.
The researchers also had a relatively small number of parents and caregivers with limited English proficiency, compared with the general population served by the hospital, for reasons that are not clear.
The authors did not report external support for the study. They said they had no conflicts.

forsaken playstyles
hi im new to the game and was wondering what are the play styles for the different saints and there followers. thanks
There's a lot of different ways that each Saint can be played, owing to the wide variety of unaligned Forsaken and Bounty Hunter options. That said, I can give you a general "feel" for each Saint, though note that you've got other ways to put their specialists in armies.
Saint Mark: Focused on "hit and run", alpha-strikes, and controlling enemy movement/attacks by putting counters on them/debuffing them. Tends to be "tricky" and his specialists are generally harder-to-hit but easier-to-wound than the average.
Saint Mary: Takes a beating, then hits you back really hard. Lots of abilities that punish the enemy for engaging in melee, her troops, both ranged and melee, tend to want to get stuck in quickly. Generally average defensive stats.
Saint John: Slow, tanky dudes that won't die and hit very hard. His troops tend to cost more than other specialists, but they have ways of making themselves very efficient (re-rolls for attacks, stop PS-debuffs).
Saint Luke: Kill stuff while hidden in smoke. His troops are generally specialized to one role. His character models tend to be expensive but helpful in keeping his specialists up and running.
Saint Johann: He gets access to some Skarrd stuff. General theme is units can damage themselves to get buffs, so very "risk/reward" based. He can run lots of low-cost troops very well.
Saint Issac: Expensive specialist troops/robots that shoot the crap out of stuff, then shoot it some more.
Saint Joan: Tankier vesion of what Johann does, but with a focus on more elite troops. Lots of panic inducing effects and ways to debuff enemy PS.
Prevailers: Lots of specialist, "elite" options. Tend to be tanky and have access to some gross psychogenics. Buff/debuff oriented with some mean heavy hitters (Archangels).
That's a very, very broad strokes synopsis. My advice would be find the subfaction you like the look of and then play with different playstyles from there. For instance, I've run tanky Mark lists that works well, despite what I said above. You've got options (which is one of the faction strengths).

Kathy Kelly Long - Columbus, OH
Share this story:
Just saying thanks for all that you do!
Kathy Kelly Long is the Director of the Broad Street Food Pantry and a Food Justice Advocate. The Broad Street Food pantry is among one of the busiest on the east side of Columbus. We are open six days during the week and on average we serve 800 plus families during the month. What makes our pantry standout among the ones that operate in community is the emphasis that is placed on providing healthy food products and support services in this area.Kathy has made vital connections within the community with The Ohio State University and utilizes students in developing health related programs for our clients to participate in.
She also works tirelessly on advocating for justice for people who are reliant on SNAP benefits to provide food for their households. She educates people within our faith-based community and the community at large on what the issues are around Food Insufficiency and what they can do to help. She has also provided ways for people in the community to earn their service hours or required work hours to maintain their benefits by working in the pantry. She keeps everyone informed about the on-going fight to help people receive adequate funding for social net services.
The Broad Street Food Pantry sponsors numerous Farm Markets during the year. Thousands of pounds of fresh produce is distributed during these events. In addition to distributing produce on during these markets, health activities are also sponsored for people who attend. Once a month a community meal is prepared by the children who attend the Broad Street After School Program. Kathy and the student interns select recipes that the children use and work along with them to prepare meals that expose the children and our guest to different types of meals that are not only healthy but delicious as well. Our pantry also advocates that our clients cook fresh foods as much as possible. The Recipe Bonus Program provides additional fresh food products and a recipe that we encourage our clients to prepare on a monthly basis. There are also additional programs sponsored during the holiday seasons to help our neighbors have adequate food and other needed products during the year.
The Broad Street Food Pantry has evolved under Kathy Kelly Long's leadership from an outreach ministry that just distributes food to people in need to an outreach ministry that stresses health and advocacy for all.

Art is simply a fantastic way to communicate emotion. Sometimes we are unable to communicate our emotions; such is the case with a debilitating migraine, which is the most common neurological condition in the developed world.
As with most intense human emotions, pain and anguish are abundant in art, whether it's through paintings, photographs or even graffiti. These abstract and surreal artistic images convey the agony that paralyzes a migraine sufferer.
Implications - This migraine art is impactful and captivating because it recounts a feeling familiar to most people, and whether it's caused by migraines or not, pain and anguish are indisputable parts of life. These works are real, evoking raw emotion in a way that is commonplace. This unusual artistic series is interesting and unique, but be careful not to look for too long, you may just get a headache!

My friends at CampusBookRentals.com asked me to talk about the perks of renting and also about a new program they have where you can actually rent out your books to others. Pretty cool, huh?
So why rent?
- you can save 40-90% off of bookstore prices
- free shipping both ways
- you can highlight in the textbooks
- they offer flexible renting periods
- a donation is made to Operation Smile for each textbook rented
If you want to know exactly how it works, watch this short video.
I mentioned the pain our bank accounts feel when we try to sell books back at the end of the semester and are rejected or underpaid. RentBack.com sounds like a really cool solution! I wish this had existed when I was in school. RentBack is new initiative that allows you to rent the textbooks you own to other students. You will make 2-4x more money compared to what you'd make through buyback options! No more feeling screwed at the end of the semester!
I'm definitely trying this out when I return to school, and encouraging my boyfriend to use the site as well this semester. Not only is it hassle free and saving me time and money, but part of my money is going to a great charity. Operation Smile provides safe surgical care to children born with a cleft. Did you know that 10% of these babies will die before they reach a year old? With staggering numbers like that, it's no wonder there's a whole operation in place to fix it. I really love when companies give back - just another reason to support CampusBookRentals!
What's your experience with renting textbooks? I'd love to hear a firsthand account!

United Women's Lacrosse League (UWLX) players performed a vital role in a dominant five-game tour by the U.S. Women's National Lacrosse Team over the past week, with 20 of the 24 rostered players for the trip currently being members of UWLX clubs. The U.S. was unbeaten in five matches during the tour, which was held at Surrey Sports Park in Guildford, England.
The U.S. team opened the trip with a 21-7 victory over the English developmental squad last Friday. In that contest, Philadelphia Force attacker Alyssa Murray tallied five goals to lead the American offense, with hat tricks also coming from Taylor Cummings (Baltimore Ride), Shannon Gilroy (Long Island Sound) and Michelle Tumolo (Philadelphia Force).
The next day, the U.S. picked up another pair of wins, shutting out Scotland, 20-0, that morning before taking down England that evening, 20-2. Cummings paced the American attack with five goals against Scotland, while Murray contributed a hat trick. In the England game, Gilroy led the offense with four tallies, and Murray scored another hat trick in that encounter as well.
On the final day of competition, the U.S. side registered two more dominant victories, defeating Germany by a tally of 19-1 before knocking off Wales, 20-1. Danielle Etrasco (Boston Storm) led the American offense with four goals against Germany, while Brooke Griffin (Baltimore Ride) added a hat trick and three assists. In the evening match, the U.S. saw a game-high four-notch effort from Kayla Treanor (Boston Storm), while Tumolo and Laura Zimmerman also put way hat tricks.
After taking off this past weekend, the UWLX will return to action on Friday night as the Boston Storm (3-2) and Long Island Sound (5-0) meet at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School in Sudbury, Mass., with opening draw slated for 7:00 p.m. On Saturday afternoon, the Baltimore Ride (2-3) and Philadelphia Force (0-5) will meet at Vonnie Gross Field in West Chester, Penn., and that contest is set for a 4:00 p.m. start.

The mixed sealant should be glued in one direction, and the squeezing action should be continuous.

Pound drops over 2% following Bank of England Statement
Published: Friday 03 February 2017
Pound drops over 2% following Bank of England Statement
Brexit headlines overshadowed by Trump
No change expected from Reserve Bank of Australia interest rate announcement
Pound drops over 2% following Bank of England Statement
The pound lost over 2% as the Bank of England (BoE) played down expectations of an interest rate hike in 2017 and suggested that wage growth could be poor this year. It's at odds with their upgrading of growth forecasts, but a weaker pound will boost exports, even if people worry about the rising cost of goods. The Brexit whitepaper has been released – nothing new in the detail, just echoing Theresa May's Brexit speech; and following the MP's vote, the triggering of Article 50 draws nearer. UK economic data has been painting a pretty rosy picture of late, with only a very recent drop in wage growth dulling the picture, but the market is still happy to sell the Pound aggressively on any bad news, as we've seen today.
Brexit headlines overshadowed by Trump
Brexit headlines take second place to Trump headlines, however, and we're seeing reaction to the change from the long held US "strong dollar policy" to one where the currency is overvalued – the idea being that Trump wants to weaken the US Dollar to boost US exports, growth jobs in the States. Also, the US Federal Reserve dampened expectations of further interest rate increases in the US in the short term and consequently funds flowed out of GBP and the USD into currencies that offer more attractive interest rates – AUD and NZD being two of the beneficiaries.
It's not all plain sailing for the Aussie Dollar, however, as the AUD and the wider economy is boosted when Chinese demand is high, and they're importing Australian commodities for their large scale infrastructure spend – the potential trade war between the US and the likes of China could stifle demand; and consequently the Australian Dollar.
No change expected from Reserve Bank of Australia's interest rate announcement
Key data releases for Australia this month will be Retail Sales on 6
February and the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) interest rate announcement on 7
February- no change is expected, but the accompanying statement will move the market. This will be followed by Australian Unemployment data on 16
Guidance for buyers and sellers of Australian Dollars
Technically, after a strong performance for the Pound over the last fortnight, which saw it rally from 1.60 to 1.6700, it spent the last few days trading a two cent range, waiting for momentum to push it up to the next level of resistance at 1.68 onto 1.7200. Sadly, with the release of the latest Bank of England outlook, the pound is back under pressure. It's currently having its largest one day drop since October, with the downside target 1.60 again.
Below 1.60 opens up a the next level of support at 1.5300 whilst a recovery back over 1.6400 would likely see a resumption of the 1.64-1.68 range.
If you're a seller of AUD, I would recommend orders to sell at a rate of 1.6200 initially; and if you're a buyer of AUD, orders at 1.66-1.67, with a stop loss order (safety net) order below 1.60.

I needed to pull away an iota from the Hannah Graham story, and its adjunct, which we might describe as the incredible inroads made into the Morgan Harrington case from 2009; not that I won`t return to it fairly soon, but I suspect I could use a rest from these terrible developments in Charlottesville, Virginia, so I re-allocated my focus over to this missing real estate agent, Beverly Carter, in Little Rock, Arkansas. It`s not so surprising really; all I accomplished by switching over to this case, is I transferred high levels of stress and frustration over to another equally, emotionally charged, situation.
Now I`m twice as stressed out as I was before! Why are there so many NUT JOBS out there, I`m wondering? And what`s going on in our society, that`s making it possible for these LOONIES to end up turning out the way they do (I`m referring to Jesse Matthews and Arron Lewis, of course)? Well, I don`t guess we`ll find out anytime soon, so I`ll just jot down a few random thoughts, with the idea of speeding the process up a teeny bit (we could use some answers, people!).
One obvious difference between the Hannah Graham case and that of Beverly Carter, is this goofball, Arron Lewis, told investigators where he left Beverly (12100 block of Hwy 5, in Pulaski County), while our Dreadlocked Suspect has clammed up in this regard. I`ll stop making comparisons at this juncture, since I need to move away Virginia in short order before it`s necessary to schedule an appointment with a shrink *(after last night`s disclosure that Jesse was sexually assaulting several college girls on the night he ultimately abducted Hannah and probably did some other bad things also).
I`m unable to accurately describe the awful sensation I get when thinking on this, but the word RAGE probably closely approximates it (one suspects this joker was getting away with such criminal behavior for quite a few years before this). Alright so, like I said, I`m out of there! I suppose we`ll turn our attention to another crazy person, Arron Lewis instead; what makes him tick?
How is he wired? Why would he want to hurt a nice looking real estate agent? How could it be robbery, since Beverly`s purse wasn`t taken from this house she was showing him (this gray wooden house is in the small community of Scott-the body was found in Cabot, 25 miles north of this house)? (ABC News)
Well, not to distort the picture too much, as far as what we are learning about the suspect, but this character, in terms of his personality, is starting to look a little wacky. It may be that mugshot, or it could be that strange car accident he got in when trying to get away from the police (with his bloody face plastered all over the internet), but man oh man`s all I will say for now!
Okay, so one other item easily caught my attention; a neighbor (GC) of Lewis` in Jacksonville, Ark., which is where the suspect lived, said he was brooding on the porch after losing his job. Also, he`d lost a lot of weight recently. (NBC News) I don`t know how you will interpret these telling facts, but as far as I`m concerned, I`m thinking Arron might be a METH-HEAD!
Most likely, you`re drifting in the same direction as I am, carried swiftly by the horrifyingly turgid propulsion of Methamphetamine Zephyrs! I`m not kidding, Lewis looks that way to me *(I`m about half way through Season Five of Breaking Bad, if that`s any help to you). It doesn`t look as if my situation has improved any, by changing cases. *(This isn`t about me, I know!) Anyhow, I`m now convinced robbery was his real motive, although all he got away with was Ms Carter`s cell phone; then he sends some terrifically dumb text messages to her husband, which only a brain-fried Meth-Head could be capable of. BRAIN-FRY IS THIS VEGETABLE`S MO!

Amy's blog, A is for Ampersand, especially this part "Also, let me just tell you about this lady at the gym. I know gyms are typically strange places, but there's this lady that's always on the elliptical FULL ON DANCING. Not even dancing--like hippie dancing, arms in the air, eyes closed, smiling from ear to ear, swaying, getting low type stuff. ON THE ELLIPTICAL. She does this every morning. I mostly think she's crazy, but I have to commend her for her bravery. She's pretty awesome."
My tights came! Modcloth ran out, so I had to ebay it and they arrived safely from the UK today. :-D
Kaylah's and Elycia's cheerful nails.
I got a ton of cool stuff while thrifting with my mom yesterday. All of the projects will be up later in the week (hopefully).
Remy wore bunny ears. She didn't like it, but she did it.
Liz and I had a real picnic and she talked me through a few photography things. Then we got to play. Oh, and I'm getting a new camera body (20D) which makes me smile SO MUCH.
Well, okay, I wasn't smiling then, but only because I didn't know the awesome news yet.
There was a whole lot more that made me smile, I just can't document everything. Now that I'm thinking about it, it seems unfortunate. Maybe if I could, it wouldn't seem like the years fly by quite so quickly.

What is Scentsy ScenTrend?/
Scentsy started Scent Trend last year with the bar 'Pink Pepper' and its now an annual scent that is released. Its like the Tiffany's watch of scents, the most popular high end in scent trends released in its own bar. What does one do with a ScentTrend bar? In the Scentsy catalogue you'll see small little pics next to Scentsy Bars. You can add a cube to these bars to make them even MORE AMAZING than they already are.
Here's a pic of Last years ScentTrend 2012 in times Square which is a perfect place for all up and coming trends right?
This year the ScentTrend 2013 is 'Violet Leaf'. Violet Leaf is a simple but amazing scent that captures the very essence of green — dewy, fresh, organic, and just a little floral.
Here's a video Introduction to Violet Leaf.
P.S. Although Scentsy recommends to not use ScentTrend on its own, consultants have and have LOVED the scent so experiment and see what you think with different scents or by itself!!
Here are some frequently asked questions about ScentTrend:
Q: What is ScenTrend?
A: ScenTrend offers consumers insight into leading home fragrance trends. Designated annually by Scentsy Fragrance, a growing international leader in fragrance, ScenTrend identifies the up and coming fragrance note which consumers will find in home as well as fine fragrances. The ScenTrend designation is based on fragrance evaluations and trend analysis by experts at Scentsy Fragrance and leading international fragrance houses.
Q: What is ScenTrend 2013 and what does it smell like?
A: ScenTrend 2013 is Violet Leaf. Violet Leaf exudes an organic, green fragrance with a subtle floral undertone. The earthy violet leaf note has a cut grass feel with watery accents of melon and cucumber and is very different from the fragrance of a violet flower, which has a sweet, powdery scent.
Q: Where does Violet Leaf come from?
A: First cultivated by the ancient Greeks, violets are native to the temperate northernhemisphere, growing in woodlands, meadows, and along hiking trails across the United States and Europe. The heart shaped violet leaf unfurls in the early spring, cradling the blooms of more than 400 varieties of violets. Unlike the fragrance from violet blooms, Violet Leaf is extracted from the leaves of violets.
Q: Who identified Violet Leaf as the ScenTrend 2013?
Violet Leaf was identified by a team of industry leading fragrance experts at Scentsy Fragrance and international fragrance houses.
Q: Why does Scentsy Fragrance identify a yearly fragrance trend?
A: Scentsy is passionate about the art of fragrance creation, and ScenTrend provides a way forfragrance lovers to enhance their fragrance experience. Scentsy Fragrance developed its expertise in identifying and defining fragrance trends through detailed analysis and evaluation of hundreds of fragrance notes, raw materials, and finished scents. The company's high quality fragrances have received an overwhelmingly positive response from consumers since Scentsy's start in 2004.
Q: How can Violet Leaf enhance my environment?
A: A powerful trigger for mood and memories, scent enhances our daily lives and has the ability to influence the ambiance of any environment. Violet Leaf is herbaceous and fresh, evoking a sense of tranquillity while providing the perfect backdrop to unwind and decompress. Its pure expression of nature is a subtle reminder to unplug from our increasingly connected, digital world.
Q: Where else is Violet Leaf used in fragrance?
The following fine fragrances contain violet leaf as an identifiable note.
Fame by Lady Gaga
Violet Blonde by Tom Ford
Flora by Gucci
Q: What fragrance did Scentsy introduce to highlight ScenTrend 2013?
A: In recognition of ScenTrend 2013, Scentsy introduced Posy Peach, a fuzzy ripe peach balanced by green, tender tendrils of violet leaf in a fragrance that hints at lazy sunny days. For those who simply can't get enough of Posy Peach's violet leaf notes, Scentsy also introduced a single note Violet Leaf Scentsy Bar, designed exclusively for mixing with select Scentsy fragrances.
Q: What other Scentsy fragrances go well with Violet Leaf and how should I mix them with Violet Leaf?
A: Green and herbaceous with subtle floral notes, Violet Leaf is perfect for creating a customized fragrance experience. Just add a cube or two of refreshing Violet Leaf to your favourite Scentsy fragrance and enjoy the way it blends beautifully to create a unique fragrance. Look for in the Scentsy catalogue fragrance pages for scents that are perfect for mixing with Violet Leaf. The fragrances include:
1. Posy Peach
2. Apple Press
3. Lotus Cove
4. Serene Green
5. Honeymoon Hideaway
6. Simply Lime
7. My Home
8. Mariner
9. Eastern Treasures
10. Red Ginger Flower
Q: What can I expect when I mix single note Violet Leaf with other Scentsy fragrances that have the ScenTrend logo?
A: Violet Leaf adds refreshing, herbaceous notes when mixed with suggested Scentsy Bars. Scentsy Fragrance does not recommend warming single note Violet Lea on its own. It is intended to be used as a mixer to add the fresh and herbaceous nature of ScenTrend 2013: Violet Leaf to existing Scentsy fragrances.
Q: What is a fragrance note?
A: Drawing upon a music metaphor, home and fine fragrances are made up of top, mid and bottom notes. A finished fragrance is a carefully constructed composition that unfolds over time, first releasing top notes followed by the deeper middle notes, leaving the base notes to emerge as the final step. Detailed knowledge of how particular fragrance notes evaporate is required to make a full, round and complete fragrance.

Built To Spill
are back with a new album in April sometime. I've heard some tracks and it's sounding like it could be their best yet. Anyone else a fan? Anyone else think Carry The Zero is their best song?
I really like
The song you put on my mix CD. They're on my list of things to check out! Where you been anyway? Are you back from the dead?
yeah kinda, there's a total ban on the internet at my new job, so I don't get much time to hang out here anymore... sucks.
I think Broken Chairs is their best
but closely followed by Carry The Zero.
BTS are great
I like Don't Try...loads really. Do they have a bad song?
Here's what really blew me l'il mind, though: seeing Doug Martsch play guitar. Hooooly fuck! He's this gangly queer lumberjack lookin' fellow...until he straps on his guitar and then WHAM-O! he's a Guitar God. He's two sidekicks were brilliant in their own right, but DM is from a different planet when it comes to strumming the axe.
All you budding rock stars who wanna see a rock guitar master, please check 'em live. You won't regret it!
Where did you hear some tracks?
You have to tell me because .... well, just because
Carry The Zero is amazing
but I think Car is their best song. Can't wait for the new album!

The Business Council of New York State has set another aggressive agenda this year, calling for various legislative reforms in Albany and for infrastructure, education and workforce development investment to bring our state's economy forward. The Putnam County Chamber of Commerce is setting a legislative priority plan that additionally focuses on our local and county-wide concerns.
To help build our economic future, Putnam County, in a county-wide partnership with its 6 towns and 3 villages, applied through the Governor's Consolidated Funding Application process to prepare a feasibility study. This study would involve collaborative problem solving to offer solutions for the infrastructure development we need to make Putnam a viable place for businesses to become established or expand – especially emphasizing tourism and arts-and-culture. We requested funding for a $250,000 study; however the State Award came back as $50,000. Putnam County Planner Barbara Barosa and a team of knowledgeable people will now be working with these funds to put together the basis for future applications for projects that will, hopefully, be funded in the next round of the CFA process. The Mid-Hudson Region did not win one of the Upstate Revitalization Initiative awards, but did receive over $90 million for 2015's project applications. Putnam received $475,500 and shared in a couple of regional program awards.
We now look forward to pulling together this county-wide feasibility plan. With new people in the leadership roles in our County Legislature and new Supervisors in Patterson and Putnam Valley as well as some new faces on Town Boards, we can look forward to continuing our positive relations with our elected officials. We will be holding our annual Elected Officials Forum on March 13th. Each year these collaborative get-togethers have resulted in building better communication among our leaders at the local, county, state and federal level. The Putnam County Chamber of Commerce will continue to work with our elected officials to promote business-friendly, community-conscious development so we can all enjoy and prosper in this 21st Century.
– Jennifer Maher, Chairwoman, the Putnam County Chamber of Commerce

Alas, a lot of devil-themed dramas are no better than the ones about angels, at least if this series is any indication.
THE DEMON ORORON (Akuma no Ororon), by Hakase Mizuki. First published in 1998 and first published in North America in 2004.
Chiaki has led a lonely life. Her parents disappeared long ago and most people ostracize her for her ability to see spirits, so she's mostly lived on her own. One day she stumbles across a strange blond man on the street and takes him in. She couldn't have possibly guessed that she is part angel, or that her powers have made her a target to the forces of heaven and hell. Luckily for her, the stranger she found is Ororon, the king of demons, and he swears to protect her from all those that would threaten her.
The Demon Ororon feels like what would happen if someone threw xxxHolic and Angel Sanctuary into a blender with a bunch of empty fluff and drama. The concept is too familiar and too haphazardly constructed to thrill anyone but the most inexperienced manga readers.
The biggest problem is that neither Chiaki nor Ororon do enough to capture the reader's attention and imagination. Despite the fact that she possesses literally cosmic powers, Chiaki is too much of a plain Jane to distinguish herself as a heroine. Not even her lonely backstory can help her, as that's resolved before the first chapter ends. As the plot goes on, she becomes less involved in the plot proper. Instead, she's used as a damsel for Ororon to save and lectures him afterwards for killing his opponents.
Ororon is meant to be seductive, cool, and secretly tormented, but all of these qualities are downplayed too much to impress the reader. I couldn't have cared less about his crazy mom or the power struggle around his title, and it's clearl right from the start that his coolness is nothing but a facade. Even his declarations of love and devotion to Chiaki ring hollow because he says it so often as to cast doubt on the sincerity of his sentiment. Not suprisingly, the rest of the cast is no better handled than our leading couple. They are nothing but anonymous angels and devils who look like fashion models and end up getting splattered across the scenery. The only exception to this is Ororon's brother, but that's only because he speaks in a fancy font that's nigh unreadable.
It's a shame that the character writing sucks so much because the story at large does manage to gracefully transition from a monster-of-the-week story to something more ambitious after it gets through Ororon's backstory. It does feel like the narrative stakes are increasing, but it's impossible to keep a lot of the characters straight or care about their issues.
Mizuki's art is striking to say the least, although it's up to personal opinion whether that's in a good way or a bad way. Her character designs are highly stylized, much closer to a fashion sketch than anything you might find on the manga shelves. Personally, I found their strange, pinched faces, tiny heads, and jutting angular bodies to be hideous. Worse still, many of them (including Chiaki) are so similiarly androgynous that it's hard to tell who is who.
You get the feeling that Mizuki was also not comfortable drawing the fight scenes. She tends to skip right past the actual acts of violence, which leaves the reader feeling jarred when the opponent is standing in one panel and smeared across the panel in dark splotches in the next. That's probably for the best, though, as what few fight scenes she does draw are stiff and her composition is positively jumbled. At times only the inner monologues indicate which panels follow one another. She also doesn't have much use for backgrounds, choosing instead to go with stark black and white washes. It's all very distinct, but it's not very good.
Tokyopop didn't help things by getting too fancy with the fonts. They used four different fonts for four different characters and even Chiaki's inner monologue gets its own special font. As each new one appears, they get more and more stylized and thus harder and harder to read. It helps to distinguish characters, but I do wish they had thought more about what's easy to read and not what looked cool on the page. Also, while there are a few typos I was bothered a lot more by the constant use of 'bogy' to refer to minor demons and similar beings. What the hell is a bogy? It is like a boogeyman?
The Demon Ororon is a stylish, derivative mess. There's nothing here story-wise that you can't get from countless other manga titles and the artwork is hit or miss at best. Throw this one back into the purgatory along with most of Tokyopop's library.
This series was published by Tokyopop. This series is complete in Japan with 4 volumes. All 4 were published in single volumes and a 4-in-1 omnibus, and all are currently out of print.

The website has a new calendar for local Ham activities on the Events page, courtesy of Carl AA4MI. You can find it right below the LMARS calendar.
The September edition of Keyed Up has been uploaded.
Dear LMARS members,
With the apparent path of Hurricane Irma currently targeting Florida, all of us find ourselves very busy preparing our houses and properties to weather this storm. Also, many of our members will be directly involved with groups providing emergency aid and communication for both local and incoming residents from other counties throughout our state.
With this in mind, I've decided to cancel tomorrow night's September 7, 2017 LMARS General Membership Meeting. This was to be the night of our LMARS Annual Auction. It will be rescheduled for early 2018 (actual date TBD).
Irma is a VERY dangerous storm, so please use this time to take all the necessary precautions needed to ensure safety for you and your families.
I wish all of you the very best and encourage you to keep a close eye on your local news broadcasts as conditions continue to change throughout the weekend.
Dave, AA4KN
LMARS President
The August edition of Keyed Up has been uploaded.
Gear up and learn what you need to know about the upcoming total solar eclipse and how to safely view it.

The Essential Saturday-Before-Christmas Survival Guide (In Eight Easy Steps!)
Round about now, you'll start seeing newspaper columnists offering their own personal 'tips' for 'surviving' the Festive Season. Usually these will involve ingesting specific herbal remedies and particular blends of tea or coffee, turning off your router to get 'headspace', recommendations of some heavyweight thing on Netflix and what have you… and really, seriously, what use are any of these to any of us? When you're haring around Primark on the last Saturday before Christmas trying to find that last elusive present for that difficult-to-buy-for relative, do you really want the organisationally precarious pointers of some iPad-toting metropolitan type reverberating round your head as your last hope for inner peace and quiet?
Of course you don't. You need an alternative. So join us as we go back in time. Not half-heartedly back in time like those trendy berks who pretend that they think VHS is a 'superior format', but way back, properly back. Back to a time when Christmas seemed less frantic, even though it probably wasn't. And how do you get into this tranquil yet lazily uncritically nostalgic thoughtzone? Easy – by following these eight simple steps!
Forget those enormous mazes of sequenced flashing lights that provoke constant baffling questions from elderly relatives. Ignore that battery-operated poinsettia that rotates and glitters while playing O Come All Ye Faithful. And whatever you do, don't stick any of those signs outside your house saying "SANTA – PLEASE STOP HERE", "WORLD'S BEST CHRISTMAS DAD 2000 XTREEM" or "MY OTHER SEASONAL OBSESSION IS TAKING MY COUCH OUT ON THE PAVEMENT AT THE FIRST SIGN OF SUMMER LIKE I'M SOMEONE OUT OF THE WIRE". It's costly, it's unnecessary, and it'll get you into an arms race-esque battle with the van driving geezer across the road and his inexhaustible supply of eight foot inflatable Rudolphs.
Nope, if you want to show everyone how much you like Christmas, you've got to go seriously old-skool. If you're about to start decking the halls, get yourself a load of multi-coloured gummed paper and cover every room in the sort of lo-fi decorations that children used to carry home from school at odd angles on the last day before Christmas, which parents would then have to put up out of politeness while that expensive moulded glittery gold relief they got from John Lewis sat unused in a drawer telepathically reminding them of its disproportionate price tag.
Never mind the debate about 'real' vs 'artificial' trees - your position on that really does depend on your capacity for coping with excessive vaccuming and visits to the vets as your cat/dog/toddler inevitably gets all pine-needles in their feet. The retailers want to push you though; what's left of Habitat have something that looks like a party hat, and it glows and everything, AND it fits on your desk. Maybe you want one that looks like a marble-run, or a catheter tube with lights in it. Perhaps one that stands in something resembling a French urinal, while it plays music and actual snow falls around it. It probably spins as well. That's what they tell you that you should get.
No. Make Christmas magical again. Dig out the PROPER tree. Yes, it's artificial. Some of the fake needles have fallen off again, and the branches are increasingly brittle. That stand is still a nightmare to put together. And it's wonky once assembled. Doesn't matter. Just make sure that it's a pre-lit one, where the LED lights are tastefully wrapped around the branches for you. You don't want to fall into a lazy comedy trope, after all.
It's an unending risk for the modern Christmas Shopper – every last coffee chain, sandwich shop and whatever you generically call those places where they do pasties and stuff is forever trying to lure you in to sample their festive wares to a soundtrack of jazzy reworkings of something that sounds almost but not quite like Once In Royal David's City. Usually starting from the second week of October if we're being honest about it. Angularly-syruped lattes! Caramel and Sticky Toffee 'Christmas Slices'! Turkey, cranberry, bacon, bread sauce and stuffing slip hazards in waiting! Some would doubtless have you believe that such fripperies are the very fuel on which the harassed Christmas Shopper runs. But not us.
Save yourself at least some of that three pounds twenty and make some instant coffee at home, taking care to ensure it's weak, badly stirred, and overall the sort of quality you'd expect from a vending machine that has been meticulously programmed to poorly replicate the coffee-making facilities of another vending machine. Take it with you in a flask, then pour it into a cheap styrofoam cup as if purchased from a stall run by a bloke in a football hat. Add a Kit-Kat or some other equally no-frills chocolate bar purchased from whatever they have instead of station kiosks now, and you have the perfect culinary accompaniment to wondering how everyone's going to fit on the next train, and where in the name of Railwatch it is anyway.
The humble 'Christmas List' has come a long way from the days when kids would just write 'LEGO' on a piece of paper and leave it lying around somewhere they thought constituted subtle. The rise of online retailers and Wish Lists have left us in no doubt as to what anyone from six to sixty wants for Christmas. And yes, probably even Mariah Carey's got one too. But should you give in and pre-order them that Limited Edition Steelbook of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and the twelve pack of interactive coffee pods or whatever it is?
No. They'll get Boglins and they'll like it. Admittedly you'll often have to fork out a fair whack eBay for one of the REAL Top Toys of years gone by these days, but if you opt for something that was highly touted but never caught on, you're pretty much quids in. Rock Lords, B.A.R.T., Wrinkles, Rubik's Magic and so many other second division "oh… thanks" Christmas Morning Pillowcase mainstays of yesteryear make an ideal present for that easy-to-buy-for relative who needs reminding that a bit more gratitude every now and then might be a nice thing. Especially at Christmas.
Celebrations. Miniature Heroes. Those Expensive Biscuits Where Everyone Takes The Foil-Wrapped Ones First. They've all long since come to dominate autopilot cursory Christmas Gift ubiquity to such an extent that they've even started to make Ferrero Rocher look like an infrequently-sighted and impossibly-exotic relic of better days. And does anyone even remember poor old Neapolitans now?
Doubtless you'll have already acquired an EU Butter Mountain-rivalling stack of them from work – and that's even before the extended family have chimed in – so take your mind off the endless repetitive choc-scoffage ahead by fashioning a close approximation of one of those old-style branded Selection Boxes that Mars, Cadbury and Rowntree Macintosh used to do. To do this you'll need, say, a Mars, a Bounty and a Milky Way, plus Snickers and Starburst with replacement Marathon and Opal Fruit labels printed off from Google Images and glued over the top. You'll just have to use your memory for Spangles, though. Then stick them in an only slightly bigger rectangular box, draw some thickly-lined snow and spiral-eyed reindeer on the front, and a rubbish game about helping Santa get to the Robin or something on the back, and, well, stuff your face before your siblings can get hold of it.
We're not going to snipe at how technology has enhanced the modern viewing planning experience as, well, it's actually quite a good thing.
Like us, though, you probably still miss the thrill of getting the actual physical double Radio Times and TV Times before the listings had been published anywhere else, having to wait impatiently for your 'turn' to look at it, then haphazardly circling anything you might have even the most microscopically remote interest in watching, blithely marking all kinds of non-festive Channel 4 documentaries and Radio 2 salutes to 'the hits of the seventies' as you went. There's loads of scanned pages on the web now, so why not print one off and, in amongst the Coronation Streets and Bergeracs and Etics And Erns, see if you can find something where you'll have no idea why you scribbled around it two weeks later.
Nothing says Christmas more than finally sitting down after you've done all your shopping, and realising that you have to wrap the presents now, and you really aren't in the mood. There's only one thing for it, chucking on the ultimate in mood-setting moneyspinning compilation albums that inexplicably get re-released with slightly different track orders every single year despite the fact that all of the good Christmas songs that people buy these for were released prior to 1990. You sit there trying to find the end of the sellotape while Noddy Holder vies with Roy Wood in the argument for the best of the party songs, but there's more presents to wrap and it's only a seventy minute CD. You'll never get finished in time. Then a decision has to be made; it's a double-CD album. Have you got one of the older ones full of old-standards? Bing without Bowie, Nat King Cole and Elvis with depressing ballads? Or is it one of the newer releases, all Robbie Williams singing Angels, and something by a fly-by night group hastily assembled on an ITV talent show two years ago. An earnest cover version from a John Lewis advert.
There's only one sensible decision when faced with that choice. Stick on the original Now - The Christmas Album from 1985 again. Nobody wants to listen to Americans getting Christmas songs wrong, and you won't find Abba on there singing about having a Happy New Year. And don't skip Another Rock And Roll Christmas by you know who.
Given Noel usually turned up on Christmas Day most years, and the House Party famously saw off The Darling Buds of May on Boxing Day 1992, it's perhaps surprising that perhaps the Edmonds series we most associate with the festive season is Telly Addicts, but for some reason it's always been intertwined. Maybe this is because its presence in the schedules every September was the first marker on the long road to 25th December, knowing that it would run right up until Christmas. Which sadly doesn't happen any more, but Noel's ever hawk-like eye for the tie-in cash-in potential saw to it that you can recreate that thrill easily enough.
There were, we believe, two Telly Addicts games. The later one, a conventional board game going under the banner of Family Telly Addicts, we don't intend to dwell on (because we never had it), but the first was particularly exciting as it came with its own Hoofer Doofer! Alright, so it was basically a glorified calculator where you inputted the code number of the question and it gave you the numeric answer, then at the end calculated the score, but it seemed terrifically exciting thirty years ago, so much so that it didn't even need a board. The only other accompaniment was a series of books of questions covering all the rounds, including the Props round (not that exciting, you just read them out). But given you could supply your own sofas, this was probably the most accurate facsimile of a TV game show of them all. Those were halcyon days for Telly Addicts, before the show went shit and was axed, but then in 2003 came the Telly Addicts DVD Game! Recorded during Noel's lost weekend that lasted about five years at the turn of the century, we were delighted Noel introduced it by saying "We're back!", very much like ALF returning in pog form. This time we could actually see the clips, although the limited number and less-then-random sequencing rendered it a bit of a farce, and the only way you could stop the game was to physically eject it from the player as it overrode the stop button. Still, at least it served as a better ending that that awful running around revamp, so we all got a bit of closure.

Businesses of all sizes are facing unprecedented competitive and economic challenges as they attempt to satisfy their customers' rapidly changing needs and support their employees' rapidly changing work requirements.
Globalization and eCommerce have dramatically changed the competitive landscape for companies of all sizes, including small- and mid-size businesses (SMBs). Escalating fuel costs and tightening credit markets have also severely impacted the business operations of companies.
Companies must achieve greater customer intimacy in order to win and retain customer satisfaction and loyalty. Companies must also support increasingly dispersed and mobile workers in order to ensure employee productivity. These challenges demand new forms of communications and collaboration, along with greater reliability and reporting to meet rising regulatory and compliance requirements.
These trends are also forcing companies to adopt new technologies and new methods of managing these technologies in order to maximize their business value.
The good news is that there is a myriad of new networking and collaboration technologies to respond to these demands. The problem is that many companies lack the inhouse skills to capitalize on these technologies and effectively manage them to achieve their business objectives.
Fortunately, companies no longer have to do it all by themselves or hand over their entire IT/network operation to an outsourcer. There are a growing number of managed service and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) 'out-tasking' alternatives that can help companies leverage today's new technologies.
I am pleased to be a contributor to this blog and provide THINKstrategies' perspective regarding ways companies of all sizes, but especially SMBs, can address these challenges, capitalize on new technologies and focus their limited inhouse resources on key corporate objectives and initiatives rather than mundane or frustrating technology management issues.
Unlike other blogs that offer the vendor point-of-view about technology trends, we hope this blog will be a forum for IT and business decision-makers to provide their perspectives and best practices regarding today's business technology management challenges and opportunities. We believe this peer-to-peer dialogue will make this blog unique and valuable.
Please let us know if you'd like to contribute your views, and give us your feedback so we can be sure we are meeting your needs.

Thank you so much!Delete
These are really sweet, I really love the nude base you paired it with. I think the black outline for the flowers looks arty! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! I didn't think of it as looking arty. I looked after reading your comment and it does. Thanks for commenting!Delete
That turned out really cute - love the random color pattern of the dotting in the centers of the flowers!ReplyDelete
My favorite nude is Sephora by OPI "Nonfat Soy Half Caff."
I googled that color and I love it!! I hate that Sephora is discontinuing their polish! Thanks so much for the compliment and leaving a comment!Delete
OMG, this is the first I heard that they're being discontinued! I'm freaking out, LOL!Delete
Yup...I have been buying as many as I can as Sephora has them for 3 for $10. That was only supposed to last until the middle of September. I have been too heartbroken to go in and check.Delete
Hi, I think you did a great job on this, it looks graphical and cool and I'm so jealous of your stamping skills!ReplyDelete
I don't really have a good nude yet..I have one from HM that they discontinued which was perfect for my skin tone (which I think is important, depending on the skin tone one person can look great in one color and another might like another shade of the nude). Anyhow, that HM one is almost out so I should search for a new favorite nude..
And anyhow.. I've nominated you to an award called Liebster award at my blog. I don't know if you've done it before but if not there's more info at my blog. :)Replies
Thank you so much!!! Let me know what your new favorite nude is.Delete

For Che
My mom is a hoarder. We have to weave and bob our way through her livingroom. Boxes piled higher than my baby sister is tall. A hair dryer that overheats, faded plastic flower wreaths, letters from an artist lover who moved to Italy. Remnants of mom's life in the 70's and 80's.
She has MS and she can't throw anything out. She screamed so loud once when I tried to sneak a beige pair of 80's pants and a digital thermometer that wouldn't beep into the trash that the neighbors heard and ran to check on us. The neighbors know how sick she is. They're just waiting.
We're all just waiting.
Everything my mom owns reminds her of the time before the disease. A broken, dusty fondue pot with the original forks makes her smile and sigh, but smile, nonetheless. She is always tired. And her leg, arm, or a side of her face is numb at any given moment.
I complain about pickles on my burger or a scratch on my car and she can't fucking feel her face. My mom puts up with the fact that I'm 21 with a tight, satiny stripper's body and that I repeatedly call people who are 40+ "old fucks." I still think of her as 36.
She won't cut her hair either because eleven years ago she had chemo treatments and all of it fell out. Now, it's as long as her pain is deep
and twice as beautiful.

Lexus will kick off this year's Super GT racing series with a muscly coupe based on the new RC F revealed at this year's Detroit Auto Show.
Unveiled at the Tokyo Auto Salon earlier this month, the bulked-up Lexus coupe will compete in Japan's GT 500 series, where it will replace a racer based on the long retired SC 430.
Lexus first offered fans a look at the new car in August last year, before the regular RC had even been revealed.
While that orange and black beast had kept a number of key styling details covered up, this new white racer wears a look much closer to its production RC F inspiration.
Full details on the new race car are still to be released, but expect a regulation 2.0 litre turbo engine to provide motivation - a change from the 3.4 litre V8 engines previously used in the series.
Elsewhere in motorsport, Lexus has revealed it will also send a powered-up experimental LFA supercar to this year's Nurburgring 24 Hour endurance race.
Dubbed LFA-X, the new car has been developed specifically to test future motorsport technology under race conditions.
As part of the program, the LFA-X has had the capacity of the 'regular' LFA's 4.8 litre V10 engine increased to 5.3 litres.
Lexus says it has "fine-tuned" output and torque from the enlarged engine, although specific figures were not offered.

Since I am not a girl who lets a flesh wound keep me down, I resolved to be a dutiful girlfriend and help my boy move and take care of icing and elevating my foot during downtime. So, I did the unthinkable! I drove from Baton Rouge to New Orleans on the Friday before Mardi Gras. Normally a one hour trip, it took took three and a half hours with the lovely seasonal traffic.
In the midst of packing someone bestowed this lovely little gift upon us.

As lovely and serene this place looks, for the slightly infirm elderly, a downstairs apartment with a shower is a must.
Beverley Country Cottage is an ideal getaway in peaceful surroundings
Beverley Farm is situated on a hilltop with magnificent views of the rolling midlands all around, surrounded by lush
lawns, paddocks, azalea bushes, Rhododendrons, Yellow woods and 2 magnificent old Oak trees. We are ideal for a romantic country getaway in very peaceful surroundings
Owned and managed by Kate and Garry Kelly, Beverley Country Cottage is situated in the beautiful valley of Dargle, on the Midlands Meander, looking down on the Umgeni River over looked by the handsome N'Hlosane Mountain. Dargle is an area South West of the N3 and is accessed from Lions River off the R103.
Beverley Country Cottages offers 3 star accommodations with 4 star services.
Beverley Country cottages offers you the choice of 4 stunning self catering cottages and 2 comfortable BnB rooms, sleeping 22 in total. It consists of the old Stables (sleeps 6 in 3 en-suite bedrooms), Hayloft (sleeps 2 with an en-suite bathroom), Dairy (sleeps 4 in 2 en-suite bedrooms) and the double story Thatched House (sleeps 6 in 3 en-suite bedrooms) which have been lovingly converted and renovated into beautiful self catering cottages, completely self contained.
In the original stone homestead, built in 1913, there are an additional two large rooms with oregan floors and ceilings, which are offered on a bed and breakfast basis only. Enjoy the splendour of these elegant rooms, while relaxing in the grand Victorian baths or the comfortable sleigh, or four-poster beds. They each have their own separate entrances off a shared veranda.
Beverley Country cottages are perfectly situated along the Midlands Meander which is in KwaZulu-Natal's Southern Drakensberg. They are close to the hamlet of Dargle which takes its name from the Dargle stream, a tributary of the Mgeni River. Dargle is the name of a stream near Dublin in Ireland, and it is thought that an Irish immigrant, Thomas Fannin, bestowed the name upon the KwaZulu-Natal village. Dargle has retained its original charm and is a great spot for a wonderful, relaxing breakaway.
For the traveler interested in art, culture and great dining, the Midlands Meander should be top of the list. This haven for artists is home to many studios, shops and galleries, and tourists can enjoy watching the artists at work. The products that are created by these talented artisans are on sale, with some of them including leather-ware, paintings, sculptures and stained glass.
Nature lovers are also in for a treat when visiting the Midlands countryside. The green rolling hills are home to a wide variety of bird species, and the views of the Dargle Valley and surrounds are magnificent.

By DAVE McMILLION
MARTINSBURG, W.Va. - By the year 2030, another 150,000 people are expected to live in Washington County and in Berkeley and Jefferson counties in the Eastern Panhandle.
The number of jobs in the same region are expected to increase by 79,000 during that time, officials say.
With the growth that is expected, officials are trying to determine how everyone is going to get around.
In three public meetings this week, local residents and elected officials will get the chance to offer input on what type of highway and other transportation systems they think will be needed in coming years to serve the growing population.
The format for the three meetings will be the same and each one will begin at 7 p.m.
The first meeting will be Tuesday at James Rumsey Technical Institute near Martinsburg. The second meeting will be Wednesday at the Jefferson High School Ninth Grade School in Shenandoah Junction, W.Va., and the third meeting will be Thursday at Frostburg State University in Hagerstown.

An inspirational pensioner is celebrating after picking up a top award.
Bob Carpenter has been named 'Tenant of the Year' in a national competition.
It feels great to have won – I feel like a celebrityBob Carpenter
The 72-year-old, from Battle Hill, beat stiff opposition from across the country to win the title in the Housing Excellence Awards.
Passionate about promoting health and fitness for older people, Bob is also a selfless volunteer and works hard to improve housing services for older tenants.
He has been heavily involved in consultation with tenants on proposed works and regeneration as well as getting qualifications to run health and fitness sessions for older people.
Bob, who was nominated by North Tyneside Council, said: "It feels great to have won – I feel like a celebrity. I loved hearing all the feedback from my customers who said I was changing people's lives."
"I just love helping people to get fit. If you are more active you can have a better life – it boosts your self esteem and it makes you able to get more out of life.
"Many people go on to do more: some join walking groups or take up swimming and, like me they just love it."
Mayor Norma Redfearn said: "I'm absolutely delighted that Bob has been honoured with this award, and I'm sure many others will also feel that this acknowledgement is very well-deserved.
"Bob's boundless enthusiasm for everything he takes on means he is an inspirational role model.
"Nothing seems too much trouble for him and he's liked and respected by everyone he comes across.
"Bob truly deserves this accolade and we are very lucky that he lives here in North Tyneside."
As well as Bob's success, North Tyneside Council also made the shortlist for two further awards – Best New Affordable Housing Scheme (Barr Close, Battle Hill) and Best Partnering Scheme (North Tyneside Council, Justice Prince Community Interest Company and Kier North Tyneside).

She can be boring but she gets through the work and with biology it is mostly up to you to learn the material yourself anyway, she does not hold you back
she is so unhelpful and is really boring, not my fave

gives great concise notes.explains things well too and put up with my interminable questions about randon irrelevant things so patiently!consistent good classes for LC chemistry
Found Miss S tough but really nice if you got to know her. She knew her stuff, it has to be said.
I dunno what the last girls talkin about, she told practically our whole class at the parent teacher meetinds, that we could do science as a career!Brill teacher,A in JC. Thanx!!
Really unfiar teacher - had her favourites and if you weren't one of them god help you. Whole class nearly ended up taking grinds.
