Move Tips After you Move
There are times when life imitates art. And then there are times when life "imitates your book contract."
Movers Van Lines .com provides 10 tips for after the move:
Uprooting is a major disturbance, and with it comes some sense of defeat. Acknowledge and respect your loss.
If a new job precipitated your move, remember your work/life priorities, work collaboratively with your employer to achieve a smooth transition, and give yourself time to adjust to your new work environment.
If you are relocating for your spouse/partner, remember to take care of yourself. Inquire about possible assistance available from your partner's employer, seek out other relocating partners who can offer friendship and support, and communicate with your partner using no critical and no threatening language.
If you are moving with children, remind them that home truly is where the heart is - family values, traditions and goals stay the same no matter where you live.
Minimize moving stress for your pets by giving them time to adjust; expect a few litter box lapses; and help your dog become acclimated by walking around the neighborhood with a leash. Practice patience.
Be mindful of the intangible elements that make a new place feel like home; look beyond the practical elements of space and consider the things that truly bring warmth and cheer into your home.
Create custom road maps that will help you get from here to there and back again; keep a "destinations notebook" in your car which includes directions from your new home to points in your community.
Become rooted in your new community by volunteering for a worthy cause; it is a great way to become connected and meet like-minded individuals.
Learn to reach out, resisting the temptation to wait for others to make the first move, invite new neighbors to your home for a casual get-together; ask new neighbors for referrals.
Remember that over time your place will, indeed, begin to feel like home.

With the bruting completed the diamond now has the rough outline – a round diamond. This shot the diamond is being positioned to remove a feather (inclusion) in the diamond. It can be seen on the diamond at the 7:00 position.
Blocking out the main 4 facets on the crown of the diamond, the process takes several days.
Now blocking out in between the 4 mains, the bezel facets to make the finished 8.
While not yet complete it is starting to look like a polished diamond. At this point the diamond is called a single cut, which was done to show the inclusions inside to determine which way the diamond would have been best finished. If the inclusions were left as shown in the photo the end result would have been an 8+ carat diamond.

Hey guys!
I recently stumbled upon an interesting adaptation of Brighton Rock, one of my favourite books, on late night television. It was the 1947 version in black and white! Immediately I was inspired to go for the newer take as well!
The Plot:
Pinky, far to young for the job, is the leader of Brighton gang. When they murder Fred Hale he has his hands full trying to cover everything up. Most of all he needs to take care of Rose, a young waitress who is a witness…
The Rating:
Let's start with the novel. Graham Greene paints a gloomy picture of old Brighton. Set in the 1930's it is a fascinating time. Pinkie is your textbook sociopath. He totally gave me the creeps. Although a few points in the book felt a little far-fetched, his thoughts and moves are absolutely intense. There are many chilling moments throughout this novel and tons of quotes that will stick with you. Especially the end send shivers down my spine.
The 1947 adaptation sticks very close to the novel although the ending is slightly different. First of all, let me say that the casting is absolutely on point. The black and white matches perfectly with the atmosphere the book evoked and gives an intense picture. It's exactly the way I imagined it to be! Especially Carol Marsh was the perfect frail and naïve girl.
However, after I checked out the new adaptation I was rather disappointed. For some reason the story now takes place in the 1960, and believe me it doesn't do the story any good. The mods and rocker riots sometimes appear in the background but are never addressed or incorporated into the plot. So it ends up being more irritating than atmospheric. The entire setting, clothing and music didn't really match with the original story.
Although Sam Riley gave a good performance he doesn't seem like a teenager at all. While Richard Attenborough had just the right nervous attitude you would expect from a teenaged gangster, Riley was to slick and stares you down. Even Rose has basically no depth at all. So you end up with an off-balance wanna-be noir film with no characters to relate with.
Summing up I have to say that neither one of the adaptations is as good as Graham Greene's novel. However, the 1947 version comes really close, while the 2010 take on it is nothing but a big disappointment!

I'm sure that you've heard about the recent high flying behaviour of two Research In Motion employees. You have to wonder just how much alcohol they consumed to 'chew' through their restraints and cause the aircraft to actually turn around and land for the safety of all.
The two RIM employees are certainly at fault for creating the unacceptable situation, but were actions of others a contributing factor to their drunken and disorderly conduct? Were they overserved alcohol in the airport lounge prior to the flight? Were they overserved on the flight? (I don't know why alcohol is even served on flights…I think that you're just asking for problems.) If they were drunk prior to the flight couldn't the airline have denied them boarding in the interest of safety of other passengers? Airline policies need to be in place and enforced to protect passengers from similar situations happening again.
Does going on a business trip equal going to a party where alcohol consumption is expected and even encouraged? Is it a cultural norm of a society inundated with alcohol that employees are to 'let their hair down' when on business trips?
According to the media, these particular employees not only let their hair down but were reportedly unruly with the flight attendants and had to be restrained. Hmmmm, too bad these 'gentlemen' didn't follow the Low Risk Drinking Guidelines. That choice would have been easier to swallow than a seven figure fine, loss of their jobs and the embarrassment of the media coverage.

Examinations of U.S. Embassy personnel who developed neurological symptoms in 2016 while stationed in Havana, Cuba, indicated that they really did sustain brain injuries, even though none of the individuals experienced head trauma, researchers reported in JAMA.
The embassy employees reported persistent cognitive, vestibular, and oculomotor problems plus sleep impairment and headaches after experiencing an intensely loud, unusual noise or sensation of unknown origin, according to Douglas Smith, MD, and colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
The symptoms resemble mild brain traumatic injury, or concussion, they reported in JAMA. It is unclear if or how the noise is related to the symptoms, and the report shed no light on what else might have caused the symptoms. Some have speculated that the embassy personnel were attacked with an acoustic weapon beamed from outside the embassy.
"These patients are having problems with working memory, sustained attention, and concentration," co-author Randel Swanson II, DO, PhD, said in an accompanying podcast interview. Like concussion patients, work takes more energy for these people because they lack cognitive reserve. "Something's happened to the network and it takes them so much more energy so they're fatigued and by the end of the day, they have massive headaches," he said.
"This is really concussion without concussion," Smith added.
In late 2016, U.S. government personnel in Havana reported various neurological symptoms after experiencing strange sounds, described mostly as loud and high pitched, that were associated with a sensation described as pressure-like or vibratory. Initial symptoms appeared to be auditory related and led to a triage program centered on otolaryngology evaluations for embassy community members at the University of Miami. Sixteen individuals who heard the sound presented neurological signs and symptoms that resembled a concussion. Over time, eight additional people reported similar problems.
In July 2017, the U.S. Department of State convened an expert panel which concluded that the triage findings most likely were related to neurotrauma from a non-natural source and recommended further study at the University of Pennsylvania Center for Brain Injury.
Of 24 individuals with suspected exposure to the noise or sensation, 21 completed multidisciplinary evaluation an average of 203 days later. The group included 10 men (average age 39) and 11 women (average age 47).
Nearly all -- 20 of 21 people, or 95% -- reported immediate neurological symptoms associated with the noise. One individual woke from sleep with acute symptoms including headache, unilateral ear pain, and hearing changes, but did not experience the phenomena.
Twenty embassy personnel reported persistent symptoms -- ones that lasted for more than 3 months -- that included cognitive (81%), balance (71%), and auditory (68%) problems, sleep impairment (86%), and headaches (76%).
Objective findings included cognitive (76%), vestibular (81%), and oculomotor (71%) abnormalities, the researchers noted. Three individuals experienced moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss. Fifteen people (71%) required medication for sleep dysfunction and 12 (57%) for headache. Fourteen people stopped working; seven eventually returned to work with restrictions, home exercise programs, and cognitive rehabilitation. All 21 patients had MRI neuroimaging and most had conventional findings within normal limits.
Several important factors need to be considered in this case series, observed Christopher Muth, MD, of Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, and Steven Lewis, MD, of Lehigh Valley Health Network in Allentown, Pennsylvania, in an accompanying editorial.
While the embassy employees were in a common geographic area when their symptoms first appeared, not everyone had the same symptoms. It's unclear whether individuals who developed symptoms later knew about previous reports, they noted.
"Furthermore, the quantitative results for specific tests (e.g., neuropsychological tests) are not yet available for all affected patients, so independent assessment as to the scope and severity of deficits among all individuals remains challenging," they wrote.
And the analogy to concussion may be not be quite right because many of the symptoms described also occur in conditions like persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD), they noted, although "PPPD alone does not appear to explain the entirety of the symptoms reported nor the clustering of individuals affected."
The symptoms have raised outside concerns about delusional disorders or mass psychogenic illness. But several of the manifestations in this group of patients -- including the oculomotor and vestibular testing abnormalities -- could not have been manipulated, the researchers maintained.
"Furthermore, mass psychogenic illness is often associated with transient, benign symptoms with rapid onset and recovery often beginning with older individuals," they wrote. "In contrast, the Havana cohort experienced persisting disability of a significant nature and are broadly distributed in age."
"Rather than seeking time away from the workplace, the patients were largely determined to continue to work or return to full duty, even when encouraged by healthcare professionals to take sick leave," they added.
The researchers plan further neuroimaging to evaluate the embassy employees. "Since the clinical features appear so similar to concussion, we will use diffusion tensor imaging and advanced MRI that examines the connectivity of the brain's network," Smith told MedPage Today. "This is commonly shown disrupted in concussion. However, if we do find changes, we anticipate that the distribution will be different than in concussion, where some findings are related to head impact."
In the meantime, the State Department issued a level 3 travel advisory to Cuba, recommending that Americans reconsider trips there due to "health attacks directed at U.S. Embassy Havana employees."
The authors and editorialists reported no disclosures.

Evan Rachel Wood's Directorial Debut Casts Jenny Slate, Alison Pill, & Cynthia Erivo
Hard to believe Evan Rachel Wood has been kicking around Hollywood for twenty years. Then I think about her breakout role in 2003's Thirteen and, yep, I'm just old. Wood is busier now than ever with her starring role on HBO's Westworld, but she's ready to take her career to the next level by making her feature directorial debut. And wow, is she putting together a great cast for it.
Jenny Slate, Alison Pill, and Tony Award winner Cynthia Erivo will star alongside Wood in an untitled road trip movie. The Tracking Board says the story centers on four friends who go on a road trip to bury the ashes of one of their mothers, and learn something about themselves along the way. Wood recently directed the music video for the latest single from her pop band, Rebel and a Basketcase. That gives her as much experience behind the camera as some other filmmakers.
Shooting will begin soon and this is one definitely worth keeping an eye on. [Vulture]

We have been using two main websites and apps for Panther Pause - Calm and Insight Timer.
CALM is both an app and a website for you to relax using meditations, nature sounds, and peaceful music. Teachers can get a free subscription for their classes of all the guided meditations or you can sign up for the free version which is still awesome.
INSIGHT TIMER is both an app and a website as well. Insight Timer is the most popular free meditation app in the App Store and has a community of mindfulness practitioners for guided meditations. You can also create your own group within Insight Timer. When you are done with a meditation, the app lets you know how many others were meditating at the same time as you. We really enjoy that feature.

First Post
Alright, so here is my first post which will mostly just be informative in nature. First, what exactly I will be blogging about. Mostly the topics will be confined to movies, music, and sports (most of which will consist of my favorite sports teams: Kansas City Chiefs, University of Kansas Football/Basketball, and the Kansas City Royals). I have a lot of good opinions, know what I'm talking about and I am always right....so...you can agree or disagree, whatever, I dont care, its your life. The first real post coming will not be "recent" in nature but will a list of the top 10 sports moments in my life. This is something I have thought about for a long time and am really excited about putting it all together so be ready for the posts to come. I will try to do one event a day but I have a life that can keep me busy from time to time so it will get done eventually.

Divorce can sometimes make people do really wacky things. But the project that heartbroken hubby Kevin Cotter, 41, embarked upon after his wife of 12 years abandoned him -- and her wedding gown -- in 2009 takes the (wedding?) cake. Wait 'til you hear and see this one!
More from The Stir: Jilted Girlfriend Gets Her Revenge With Crazy Scavenger Hunt Breakup Letter
After Cotter's ex walked out, telling him he could do "whatever the f***" he liked with the dress, he and his family began to brainstorm ways he could repurpose the garment. The Arizona resident recalls:
Over dinner with my parents and brother and sister-in-law I explained that I had her dress and that I did not know what I should do with it. A few creative suggestions were made and we agreed it would be fun to come up with a list of all the ways a wedding dress could be used.
And, boy, what a list! The crushed but clever Cotter devised 101 alternate uses for the dress. And none of them is the boring old "I turned it into a cocktail dress" or "I shortened it into curtains." No, ma'am. These are some pretty unique transformations. Then he took it a step further!
He photographed himself turning the white satin and tulle gown into a dog leash, a tent, and even a Christmas tree skirt. Then he published the whole collection as a book! (Which might make a fun holiday gift for the divorced couples on your shopping list, just sayin'.) Talk about taking lemons and turning them into lemonade!
As you can imagine, his ex is none too pleased! But Cotter insists he didn't do it to be a jerk. He explains:
My wife hates it and thinks I am motivated by revenge -- which isn't the case at all. This honestly doesn't have anything to do with her. I did it for myself because I thought it would be fun and wanted to answer the question -- what can be done with a once worn wedding dress?
Well, he's certainly answered that question in 101 ways I probably wouldn't have come up with!
In addition to the gown getting a new lease on life, Cotter, too, has moved on. He's remarried. While initially his new bride swore she was going to get hitched in a bikini to prevent his chances of penning a sequel, she reconsidered and wore a wedding dress after all. I wonder what they're doing with it now?
Have you used your wedding gown for any other purpose? If so, tell all!

Gert Jonkers and Jop van Bennekom are the pair at the helm of magazines Fantastic Man, Butt, The Happy Reader and The Gentlewoman. Here we ask the duo to disclose their definitive travel tips—from jetlag cures to combating hotel room mess.
What's the one thing you love about travel?
Gert: The distraction.
Jopp: I love that when you leave, a lot of your worries and work stress get left behind. Travel, especially a long train journey or a long-haul flight, literally opens your perspective. Being offline on an aeroplane is a great thing. It allows you to really disconnect for the time being and arrive somewhere with a new start. I love conquering new places—trying to understand the culture and how people live. Even if it's a city in Spain I've not been before, I always search for a connection—and good food.What is the one thing that cures your jet lag?
G: I try to get accustomed to the new day rhythm as soon as possible and enjoy as much bright daylight as I can. In the case of a jetlag-related headache, have a double espresso, or two.
J: Drinking lots of water and no alcohol during a long-haul flight does help, but it doesn't cure it. I have to say, I do get terrible jet lag, and sometimes it just ruins my trip. Sleeping aids (Tylenol PM) help, especially for the first two nights, but in the end those supplements don't fix the biological clock. I recently picked up meditation and apparently a twenty-minute meditation every two and a half hours during the flight cures jet lag completely—something to try soon!What's the one book you always turn to in transit?
G: Personal History by Katherine Graham; the fascinating memoir of the ex-editor of the Washington Post. It's the most unlikely page-turner about journalism, politics and power.What is the one product from Smythson that you wouldn't travel without?
G: A wallet with a few bank cards in it. I love that feeling of showing up at a hotel with no luggage. Most hotels do complimentary toothbrushes.
J: The Panama Zip Currency Case, because it's very practical and I love practical things—and it's a very handsome object too. Oddly enough, I have given the Panama Zip Currency Case to friends as a present many times.What is the one item that you always steal (or want to steal) from a hotel?
G: The 'Do Not Disturb' sign as it can come in handy elsewhere, such as in the office.
J: I always use or take the bottles of water they provide in hotels—oops! But, that's not really stealing. Water should be free.
What is the one thing that you always order from room service?
G: I order an electric kettle if there isn't one in the room yet. Drinking lukewarm water is the most soothing and relaxing thing when you're away from home.
J: A good breakfast, always with scrambled eggs. Hotel Americano in New York does a good one, including an amazing green juice called Green Machine.
What is the one item you won't leave the country without?
G: My driver's license. I came late to the game of driving – I got my license at the age of 42. If I'd known how much I'd love driving, I surely would have gotten it way earlier. I find driving abroad a fantastically exotic act, so I wouldn't want to miss out on that just because I forgot to bring my license.
What is your one luxury travel item?
G: My 'Privium' card, which allows me to skip all lines at security and customs at Schiphol airport. All you do is use the iris-scan lane through customs, and it can save you an hour, easily! It's literally the best gift to oneself, and I pray for the day that more airports start welcoming and pleasing 'Privium' members like me.
J: Cashmere socks in business class. It's so comforting to take your shoes off just before a long flight and slip into ultra-soft foot huggers.
What is the one travel item you always depend on?
G: Decent toothpicks. Can anyone tell me why they're impossible to find in many countries? I've not managed to find good toothpicks in the UK, in Spain, France…It's really annoying and a mystery too.
What's the one Smythson item you depend on in-flight?
G: Well, I love my Panama Zip Currency Case, but I definitely had more use for it in pre-Euro times, what with Guldens, Lires, Deutschmarks, Francs and Pounds. I would say I'm pretty orderly when it comes to packing, and all things go in their dedicated pocket, folder or case. If you saw my hotel room, you would think otherwise, as I manage to make a total mess out of every room in a matter of minutes. But, I (and only I) manage to find things just because I know where and how they packed them. That's why I swear by all sorts document case folders for valuable papers, keys to various offices and apartments and a trinket holder to keep headphones, phone chargers and adapters neatly together.
J: A Smythson Panama diary. I have been using it for years and years now, with a short (failed) stint in between where I tried to get used to a digital diary. It's just such a distinctive product with it's blue crisp paper, handy pocket format and grained black leather. And, I love the fact that is just says the year on the cover, embossed in gold. So chic.

Queer as Folk creators face down
March 5, 2002
At a Saturday night panel discussion with the creators and stars of Showtime's Queer as Folk in Los Angeles, one of half a dozen protesters made it inside the auditorium to address the panelists directly. Talking about developments in the February 24 episode of the series, protester Michael Buchanan told the show's creative team, "We are very upset that you have perpetuated fear [of HIV-positive people] by having Debbie [Sharon Gless], a PFLAG mom and sister to someone who is HIV-positive, tell her son she wished he wasn't gay [because it put him at risk for HIV infection]."
"I'm thrilled that you're here," responded executive producer Daniel Lipman, according to an account on Zap2It.com. "Aren't you happy that there's a show bringing up these issues?" Buchanan, who founded a group called Queers Against Queer as Folk, is upset over the current story line in which lead character Michael (Hal Sparks) dates a man named Ben who's HIV-positive. Debbie, Michael's mother, and two of his best friends try to convince him to drop the guy for fear of Michael's becoming infected; in one scene, Michael himself elects to cut short his lovemaking with Ben, upset by seeing all the pills in his medicine cabinet. Buchanan argues that the story line will contribute to prejudice against and rejection of people with HIV or AIDS.
The QAF panel, held at the Directors Guild of America, was part of the annual William S. Paley Television Festival, presented by the Los Angeles Museum of Radio and Television. (The gay-inclusive HBO series Six Feet Under will be the subject of a similar program on Saturday, March 9, at the DGA.) The evening's program began with a screening of QAF's most recent episode, which Buchanan told Advocate.com didn't make him any happier. "I ended [my questioning of the panel] with, 'How do you feel knowing there are queers outside who don't like how you've treated HIV?' " Buchanan said. "Of course no one addressed that question."
"Queer as Folk does not put a pink ribbon on life," said Sharon Gless, who plays Michael's mother, Debbie, in response to Buchanan, according to Zap2it.com. "It's real life."
Added executive producer Ron Cowan, "We're trying to challenge politically correct thinking. We all enjoy going to that place where we're a little scared. I think what we're trying to do is get people to feel the way you felt." Buchanan responded, "You're not challenging me; I'm here to challenge you."
Apart from the exchanges with Buchanan, however, the evening's program was largely a mutually supportive interaction between the show's creators--executive producers Cowan and Lipman and much of the principal cast--and the enthusiastic, sell-out audience. Indeed, most of those in the packed auditorium clearly did not share Buchanan's concerns. The program ended immediately after the protester's give-and-take with the panel, and those attending gave the participants a long and loud standing ovation.
Buchanan, however, is undaunted, promising another protest at the GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles on April 14. His rallying cry: "Take back Queer as Folk!"
Protestors Show Up for 'Queer As Folk'
Mon, Mar 4, 2002 12:42 PM PDT
by Vanessa Sibbald
Zap2it.com, TV News
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Showtime's controversial series "Queer as Folk" lived up to its reputation Saturday night (Mar. 2) as protestors showed up during The William S. Paley Television Festival's presentation of the gay-themed series.
"I'm thrilled that you're here," said the show's executive producer, Daniel Lipman. "Aren't you happy that there's a show bringing up these issues?"
Yet the protestors didn't seem too thrilled, though not for the reasons one might immediately suspect. Holding signs reading "Queers Against 'Queer as Folk,'" one of the protestors later made the cause of their anger known during the panel's question and answer period, saying they were upset over a recent story line from the show's sixth episode (which aired Feb. 10) in which Michael (Hal Sparks) turns away from his lover Ben (Robert Gant) because Ben is HIV positive.
The protestors argued that the episode contributed towards intolerance of HIV positive people and that they have had to do damage control since the episode aired.
"'Queer as Folk' does not put a pink ribbon on life," says Sharon Gless, who plays Michael's mother, Debbie, on the series. "It's real life."
Executive producer Ron Cowan agrees, saying that characters in the drama don't always make the easiest decisions.
"We're trying to challenge politically correct thinking," he says. "We all enjoy going to that place where we're a little scared."
"I think what we're trying to do is get people to feel the way you felt."
To which the protestor countered, "You're not challenging me, I'm challenging you."
Gant urged the man to continue watching, saying the story isn't over yet.
The audience, impatient with the debate, started shouting "Next," as in "next question," but time was up.
At which time the cast and executive producers stood up to leave only to have the packed crowd say goodbye by giving them a standing ovation, complete with thunderous applause.

Normally when I reflect back to a time when life left me flat on my face, I would associate that stage in my life as a stage of brokenness. At some points in my life, I felt damaged as a result of the external or maybe even internal factors in my world. I perceived the situation negatively and almost felt attacked simultaneously in life. These stages didn't come frequently, but when they did arise, I literally felt like the sky was falling. These situations would leave me feeling hopeless, inadequate, and even alone.
Recently, I viewed these stages in my life a bit differently. I really came to understand this a few weeks ago when I was walking to the library during finals week. I noticed the first floor of the building was under construction. I was kind of confused at first. I've been on the first floor before and it was definitely old and outdated, but nothing really seemed to be "wrong" with it. Students were able to print and study just fine. Unlike the individual who decided to reconstruct the floor, I wasn't looking at it with its full potential in mind. The first floor was only going to be under construction temporarily and when it was complete, it was going to be absolutely better than before.
How often do we forfeit the opportunity to see our stages of brokenness as opportunities for The Lord to take our lives and re-mold us? Brokenness is simply our Heavenly Father trying to recreate us into something better than before. The process can leave us feeling hopeless and possibly even confused with the vision that God has for our lives. The process can deplete us and leave us feeling incapable of joy. These feelings can be met with The Lord's infinite love for us. He can comfort us throughout the reconstruction process and give us a feeling of peace. His construction is done with perfect timing. Reconstruction has to occur every so often, there is no reason to fear. You are not broken, you are not damaged, you are simply under reconstruction preparing to reach a new height in your life.
"Never be afraid to fall apart because it is an opportunity to rebuild yourself the way you wish you has been all along." – Rae Smith

A typical problem that had to be worked out was: Who among the faculty would assume responsibility for books handed to the school? The teachers refused to accept the additional accountability. And there was also the concern about the quality of books gathered from book drives.

In high school, it can feel like the holiday season is kicked off with homecoming. The football game, dance, and spirit week festivities happen right before Halloween, and then it's November. I remember attending homecoming games and parades with my older siblings well before I was in high school, but it wasn't until I became a teacher and found myself explaining some of our homecoming traditions to newcomers that I realized just how strange some of these traditions can seem. The quizzical looks I get when I tell students that they should wear their pajamas to school on Monday, have a twin on Tuesday, dress like a nerd on Wednesday, and so on, are priceless.
I really like to encourage participation in homecoming activities with my ELLs. It's a great way to feel integrated into the larger school culture. It's easy for ELLs to become marginalized within a school because of programming and language constraints, so I never miss the chance to promote participation in schoolwide events. I even offer extra credit for dressing for the spirit days and attending the football game and dance. Because we the teachers are role models, I always attend events and take part in all of the spirit days too. (Let's be honest, Pajama Day is one of the best days of the year!)
At this point in December, we are smack in the middle of a holiday season that seems to be getting longer every year. A lot of newcomers are interested in learning about holiday customs and traditions in the USA. It helps make sense of some of what they're hearing and seeing around them, but, as educators, we have two cautions to bear in mind. The first one is obvious if you work in a public school--that we must be careful of the religious aspect of holidays, but the second can be more pernicious. We need to pay extra attention that we're not using any language of assimilation in these conversations. There should be no suggestion that students need to take on such traditions because that's "the way things are done." The last thing we want is for students to feel ostracized because we've fed their natural curiosity.
There are several things that I do in the classroom to ensure the proper balance is struck when it comes to holidays. One of the first projects we do is simply "My Favorite Holiday." During the first quarter, we are reviewing uses of the simple present tense and adverbs of frequency; and this is the perfect grammar tie-in to describing the traditions associated with holidays. It can be religious, cultural, regional, or otherwise, and because we have a very diverse student body at my school, we all learn a lot. Students write a short essay in which they describe their favorite holiday, create a visual aid such as a poster or slideshow, and then present their work and holiday to the class. By starting with this project, it shows that all cultures and heritages are welcome and celebrated equally in our class.
My second suggestion is a direct offshoot of this project. "My Favorite Holiday" gives me the opportunity to learn what holidays my students are celebrating which I don't celebrate. I make a point of recognizing these holidays, asking students questions about how and where they'll be celebrating each year, and if there are any phrases or expressions I can learn that are associated with the holiday, I make sure to say them to my students. When your students know that you and their classmates have taken a genuine interest in their culture, they are more likely to enjoy the pursuit of knowledge (and not to feel excluded) when learning about traditions that might be dominant in the USA but are unfamiliar to them.
Thanksgiving presents a third approach for talking about customs and traditions in the USA, and I love this holiday in particular because it has no religious origin or faith-based overtones. It's simply a day to be thankful, to spend time with family and friends, and to eat. Who can't get on board with that? It doesn't matter where you're from, how long lived here, or even what foods you share; everyone can participate. Admittedly, we don't spend a lot of time on the "origin" story because it is so fraught with misinformation. We primarily emphasize the spirit of being thankful and of course, the food. Thanksgiving provides a great opportunity for students to share about the cuisine of their native countries. I have found that nearly 100% of my students are keenly interested in this, so we have our own Thanksgiving at school the day before break. No one is required to bring anything, but we've never had a shortage of food. Students are proud to bring in and share a dish from home, and if cooking is a burden, many students will bring chips or store-bought sweets because they still want to contribute. Students who've brought in home-cooked food explain what they've brought, and unless they have dietary restrictions, just about everybody wants to try everything. Near the end of the period, I ask who has tasted something they've never eaten before, and 95% of the hands go up.
My last tip comes as we near winter break. Everyone is getting excited for a two-week vacation regardless of whatever plans they might have for that time. Depending on the group, we'll sometimes talk about the religious holidays that are happening, but mostly just to help clarify some of the symbols that become increasingly visible throughout December. Then we shift our focus to weather-centric activities and vocabulary to use in exercises and games that are fitting for the week for before break. Winter sports like skiing, snowmobiling, sledding, and ice skating are always of high interest to students. Even some of the more mundane activities like snow shoveling, ice scraping, and salt spreading provide incredibly useful and relevant vocabulary for this time of year. Snowmen, snowball fights, and snow forts are still fun diversions even for teenagers, especially if they've recently arrived from warmer climates. Every year I have students who are genuinely excited to see their first snow, so all of this new vocabulary gets put to use immediately. (They're over it by January, though, when they realize like the rest of us that neither the snow nor the cold are going anywhere for a while...)
I hope that you can use some of these suggestions with your ELLs and diverse student bodies during the holiday season. With a bit of thoughtful planning, it can be easy to bring in the spirit of community and celebration without resorting to the dominant culture norms. In fact, if we can access our students' funds of knowledge in some of the aforementioned ways and use them in our classrooms, we are truly getting to the heart of learning through community celebration itself.

We cater to 6 hens in our small backyard lot in Austin, Texas. They are the stars of our blog, From Our Garden.
We picked up our first 4 chicks from Callahan's General Store back in February of 2011. It didn't take long for us to go back for 2 more to round out the flock. Here are the ladies of our establishment, by pecking order, naturally…
Buttercup- Fearless (and tiny) leader. She is an Ideal 236 hybrid and is quite the egg-layer. She is slow to anger unless you try to shoo her from her digging hole. That beak does mean business, but it is rarely used on the rest of the girls.
Rosie- A level-headed but stubborn girl. She was sold to us as an Americauna but I think she is not an approved color so we call her an Easter Egger. She seems to like getting her beard and cheek puffs "preened" by the other chickens. They do such a good job that she has bald patches and looks a bit lopsided.
Bluebell- An adventurous Blue Andalusian and mischievous thief of Rosie's butt-feathers. Bluebell makes an excited bubbling noise each morning when she first steps onto the lawn. She was just born to free-range and dig holes.
Tigerlilly- Another Easter Egger. For some time, our biggest and… slowest chicken. She may give severe looks more often than not, but she is actually quite sweet and patient. It took her much longer than the others to figure out how the Chicken Early Warning System works, but she is now an expert hawk-spotter.
Gretel- The most beautiful and graceful Australorp one could hope for. She is too nervous to be picked up, but she will ride around on your arm like an overweight falcon. She is much too polite to want to participate in any pecking order rivalries. Just keep away from her nesting box while she is laying or you will get an earful.
Little Red- One of our later chickens, a Production Red. She had a pretty tough chickhood and it a bit skittish. She is apt to wander away from the other chickens and peer into the house or follow us about the garden looking for snacks. She is also a mushroom addict and does not lay eggs. Perhaps the two are related.
Thanks for stopping by. For more pictures, be sure to check out our blog.

But if you are looking for more craft-friendly designs packed in amazing bundles, do pay our sister site CraftBundles.com a visit; a website only full of amazing SVG/DXF cut files. They have some awesome freebies too. ;)
7. What are PUA encoded fonts?
PUA stands for "Private Use Areas". When a font is PUA encoded, it basically means that all the additional characters, glyphs and swirls can be 100% accessed in all programs including Mac, Windows, Silhouette Studio and Cricut Design Space.
Fonts that are not PUA encoded or 100% accessible will still work in Silhouette Studio and Cricut Design Space, but only with the standard characters. However, the additional characters will then only be accessible on programs such as Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Corel Draw X6 - X7.
Here is a handy guide on how to access all additional characters in PUA encoded fonts.
1. I can't seem to download/locate my files after making a payment for my purchase. Can you help me?
Once a purchase has been made with your account, you will be able to download it as many times as you like just by logging into your account on TheHungryJPEG.com and locating the Purchases icon . If you are having trouble locating your purchases, be sure to type in the right keywords in the search bar on top right or scroll through the pages in your purchase history.
If you are paying through PayPal, there could be the occasional delay from PayPal to our website to receive a token confirming your purchase from PayPal. This token is required to recognise your purchase and permit you to download the file. If this happens, please wait 15 minutes before trying to download again.
2. Why does it take more than an hour to download my bundle?
This could sometimes be due to a slower internet connection with the bulk download. If the situation does not improve, please screenshot your error messages (if any) and contact us for assistance and for an alternative link to download your bundles.
3. My fonts seem to be broken or cut-off when I open them up in my program. Why is that?
If the font was installed successfully into your computer, this might be due to a program specific issue. Here is a guide that might be useful to you.
4. The font I purchased stated that it came with additional swirls etc. When I type out the font, I can't see these swirls. What do I need to do?
If the font is PUA encoded/100% accessible, you may refer to this guide on how to access the additional characters of a font.
If the font is not PUA encoded/100% accessible, additional Characters for this font are only accessible via Open Type Features. This requires programs such as Adobe Illustrator, InDesign or Corel X6 - X7.
5. I can't get my fonts to load/install into my program.
You cannot open font files directly into programs, or install them directly into programs. There is only one way to install fonts and that is through your computer (see guides below). Once you have installed a font on your computer, you should be able to access these fonts in your fonts menu of all programs.
5a. How do I install a font on a Mac computer?
- Open the folder you received from our website.
- Then, locate the OTF or TTF files for the font or fonts you wish to install and double click on one of the two.
- After doing so this will open up a program called Font Book. When prompted click "Install". Give up to 30 seconds to allow your computer to load the installation.
- Please note, some programs may need to be restarted in order to show newly installed fonts.
- If you see an error message when trying to install the font, don't be alarmed. Sometimes Mac computers do not register the complicated textures/swirls of a font. All you need to do is click on "Select All Fonts" and then select "Install Checked".
5b. How do I install a font on a Windows computer?
- Download the purchased font files onto your computer, ensuring you have saved them in an accessible location for easy access.
- Next, click your "Start" button (located on the bottom left hand corner of the screen).
- Click Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Fonts. This will show you all of your currently installed fonts.
- Begin installation by clicking "File" and then "Install New Fonts". Once the popup opens, locate the font you wish to install and click on either the OTF or TTF file. Give your computer up to 30 seconds to allow for installation.
- Please note that some older computers may need to restart in order for the newly installed fonts to show up in your chosen programs.

Fonts: You can use your purchased fonts to create quotes and sayings on End Products, but you may not convert the entire alphabet and numerical characters.
Graphics: You are not allowed to use the graphic as-is in creating End Products for sale. You will need to ensure that the graphic has been combined with other graphic/font elements to create a significantly new design as a flattened End Product. Think of it this way, end products must not be used or sold in a way that is directly competitive with the original item you purchased.
Patterns: You may use purchased patterns as-is on physical End Products for sale.
Craft Files: Craft / cut files may only be used as-is, on physical End Products for sale.

You may create a design with purchased fonts and graphics (non-craft files) and subsequently upload them on POD sites for sale, as long as it is significantly different from the original design.
However, craft files are created purely for the end user and are strictly not allowed to be uploaded to any POD sites.
6. If I am a designer, am I allowed to upload my own license?
No, this is 100% not allowed. All Items except for permanent freebies (unless otherwise stated) that are uploaded to our site is covered by our Complete License. Any other license are voided as per our Store Terms.
7. Do I have to credit the original designer?
No, it is not a must to credit the original designer or our site, but it is very much welcomed and appreciated! :)
8. Can I digitise your fonts for embroidery purposes?
Yes, this is alright if you are planning to just digitize words, names, quotes, or sayings, but you are not allowed to digitize the entire alphabetical letters (i.e. A to Z) and/or numerical digits (i.e. 0 to 9).
9. Can I convert your website templates to a HTML website for a client?
Yes, you can. However, you do not have the rights to resell, or give other clients the same HTML website you created for the previous client.

Fonts can be used as part of a logo design provided that the entire alphabetical letters (i.e. A to Z) and/or numerical digits (i.e. 0 to 9) are not converted.
Graphics can be used as part of a logo design but it must be significantly modified or used with other font(s) or design element(s) to create a distinctive new design that does not resemble the graphic used.
The final logo must also be in an outlined/flattened file format so that the original graphic cannot be extracted or separated from your end design.
All logos created cannot be trademarked or copyrighted as the ownership of the items belong solely to the original designer. Keep in mind that you are licensing the non exclusive rights to use the Items, therefore the same Items may be used by other parties as well.

An evocative poem by Sumita, in Different Truths.
Death announced her arrival.
No silent whispers in my ears;
No, the clarion call was loud and clear.
My guts burnt; I hardly ate but puked.
Doctors bled my wallet white;
Prescribed pills rent body and mind.
I've taken care to cook a broth
A thin gruel, no sugar no salt.
Surely, it would slide down, stay,
Wake me up to one more beautiful day,
But there, again over the sink, I sway.
"I'm dying," I've told my family and friends,
They negate, know not what to say.
My three sons living abroad, nod
Over phones, murmur they'll visit soon.
Kindness pats my shoulder, squeezes my hand,
A warm embrace; I think they care.
But at 2:30 am, when I contact in despair,
"I'm dying, please take me to hospital…"
In their best interest, they cut my call.
My servant, loyal shadow till the end,
Tows me to a dignified final farewell.
Eighty-seven years I've walked this Earth
Mind and tongue sharp, they'll remember
Me, fiercely independent.

As some of you may remember, I was introduced to YSL makeup during December, on the launch of the YSL "Noel 2011" collection.
Since then, I've grown a considerable interest in the brand's seasonal makeup collections; like I've mentioned before, such high-end brands not only bring out intriguing (and sometimes revolutionary) products, but they also offer inspiring scenarios for season-appropriate makeup looks, from which you can draw inspiration and update your everyday makeup.
This spring, Lloyd Simmonds (the head behind YSL makeup since 2010) was inspired by all sorts of colourful candies: fruit jellies, juicy sorbets and cotton candy. The three key elements that translate his inspiration into makeup formulas are:
fresh colours, transparency, melting textures.
YSL names this collection's signature look as "Nude in Colour"-
I'm guessing from the picture above that what they mean by that term is
natural, glowing skin combined with diffused, soft colour on the eyes and lips.
So, the "Nude in Colour" YSL candy look is achieved with the new LE Ombres 5 Lumieres palette with pretty pastel eyeshadows, followed by 2 coats of Mascara Singuliere in blue. Lips are coated with a wash of Volupte Sheer Candy in a baby pink shade, while on the nails the iconic YSL french manicure is updated with hues of peach and baby pink.
Additional products to the YSL Spring Look: the LE Vinyl Candy Palette with 2 light frosty shades and 2 darker satin colours, four new Rouge Volupte Perle lipsticks, three more Volupte Sheer Candy lipsticks, two Golden Glosses (looove the looks of them both!), and the second version of Manucure Couture duo.
*** If I'm correct, there is also a range of water-based liquid blushes- though I don't think they will be marketed in Greece! What a shame!***
In most cases, Spring makeup collections from high-end makeup brands have an optimistic and youthful vibe to them; their fun bright colours are a step away from the dark vampy hues of winter, let alone the exception of any sexy bronze shades contribute to a girlier overall feel. In my experience, Spring collections aren't the most popular throughout the year- we always tend to buy more makeup during Christmas or summer!-, nevertheless they're a refreshing interval between winter smokeys and summery bronzes.
Personally, pastel eyeshadows are not my favourite. I could only make them work on my lower lashline, though I rarely do so. To be fair, I don't think the eyeshadows in the Ombres 5 Lumieres palette are meant to be worn together, and I can see from the promo pic that they're actually sheer. In this case, that's a good thing- as it makes for a more transparent and modern look.
The two main things I loved from this range is the absense of black pencil/mascara (brings more brightness to the eyes), and the transparent juicy lips.
Needless to say, you can always recreate this makeup look with what you already have!
Here's a close-up: you can see there's a light blue eyeshadow close to the lashline (almost indetectable), followed by a brightening lilac haze around the perimeter of the eyes and blended into the crease with a pink shade.
Now that I see the eye makeup zoomed in, I kinda like it!
What are your thoughts on the YSL Spring Look 2012 collection?

Has a statement of intent been included?
IHTA84/S142 (1) does not apply to a variation executed on or after 1 August 2002 unless the instrument includes a statement of intent that IHTA84/S142 (1) applies. An example of the wording that can be used is given at IHTM35028. If a variation does not include such a statement of intent but the taxpayers nevertheless assert that IHTA84/S142 (1) applies to the variation, refer the case to Technical.
A statement of intent is not required for a disclaimer. (IHTM35162) However, because a statement of intent must be included as part of any instrument of variation (IoV) you do not have the option of treating the disclaimer as an IoV if there is any doubt whether an instrument operates wholly and validly as a disclaimer.

My boys have been curious about the meaning of Thanksgiving so I found this cute poem and craft.
As I read the poem I gave the boys the beads to string on. We didn't have a black, brown or red bead so we colored them to help represent the colors.
We are doing a turkey trot on Thanksgiving day so decided to make some fun hats for the boys to wear during the walk. We found the idea here.
I cut out brown paper strips and measured it to their heads and secured with a staple. We took two lunch sacks each and stuffed them with newspaper. We pushed the newspaper down a bit and twisted the tops of the bags. It took a little bit of work to make them look like turkey legs. We then took squares of white tissue paper and put of the end and secured with black pipe cleaner. I then stapled it to the sides of the headband.
It turned out cute and the boys are looking forward to wearing their hat to the event.
I had two more foam crafts so I let the boys finish those off today.
We will be back tomorrow with Day 9 of our Thanksgiving countdown.
