Faux Fur & Florals
Tuesday, February 28, 2017
Throughout the fall, all I wanted in life was a bold faux fur jacket. I had seen plenty in some online boutiques, but nothing was striking my fancy. They were either too plain or didn't have any sort of button or zipper closure. While I know they're not the most practical coats, I live on the lake and it gets too damn cold to not have a jacket that doesn't secure somehow. I do some pretty dumb things for fashion purposes, but this was not one of them.
I Used To Be Golden | A February Playlist
Monday, February 27, 2017
Another month, another playlist that–genre wise–makes absolutely no sense. I've stopped trying to cater my musical interests to one specific type. Life's too short to not give every genre a try, hence why all of my playlists are a really weird mixture of indie, pop, and the occasional throwback. I mean, "Miami" by Will Smith made this month's list. That song came out two years after I was born, which is pretty wild. I started listening to The Struts a lot more this month, mainly because I'm fairly certain I'll be seeing them in May, just a week or so before I finally get to see The 1975.
I feel like I always need to note that this playlist does not include the unhealthy amount of Little Mix and DNCE that I listened to this month. It's a sickness that I never want to be cured of.

Friday, February 24, 2017
I'm all for the casual nature of a simple sweater and a pair of distressed jeans. It's one of my go to outfits when I don't want to look super put together, but I want to add a bit of edge and a casual aspect to my outfit. There's something so simple about a nice plain knit during the winter months, especially to transition from season to season.
Things I'm Loving

1. Hart of Dixie
I hate that I just started and finished watching this show this past week. Why did I not give this show a chance when it was on the air? Why did it take me two years post its cancellation to jump on the Hart of Dixie bandwagon and fall in love with the people of Bluebell? And why the hell did I deprive myself of Wade Kinsella for so many years?
The show follows Dr. Zoe Hart (Rachel Bilson), a girl from New York who dreamed of being a heart surgeon. After not receiving a fellowship she needed, she ends up taking on a job as a general practitioner in small town Alabama. There, she discovers that the half of a medical practice was left to her in the will of the man who recruited her years before at her graduation. The show continues to show Zoe as she grows accustomed to life in a tiny town and Southern customs and hospitality.

#TBT: A Throwback Playlist
Wednesday, February 22, 2017
I've loved music for as long as I can remember. When you grow up with your father as the lead singer of band after band and an older brother who was a hometown rockstar, there's really no choice. I grew up surrounded by music, from 80s hairbands to more new wave and soft rock, and always embraced it in my life. Unfortunately, I was unable to feature everything that I listened to over my adolescence. I capped it at 2010 because honestly, we'd be here forever if I tried to order every single music phase I went through chronologically.
Ohio City: Koffie Cafe
Tuesday, February 21, 2017
On my Ohio City adventure on Sunday, we stopped into Koffie Cafe for a quick bite to eat. After driving around trying to find parking and every other brunch spot being too crowded for our growling stomachs, we ended up just popping into the coffee shop next door to where we considered getting a proper sit-down brunch. It was pretty eclectic but had great lighting, really intimate seating, and a really chill vibe. It was a really relaxing spot to be on a Sunday and I can see why people settled into their cozy corners and started to work on their computers and catch up with a nice newspaper.
Orange You Glad I Didn't Say...
Monday, February 20, 2017
I am living for this weather at the moment. The past two days have been absolutely gorgeous. The one annoying thing about downtown, though, is that the breeze from Lake Erie always drops the temperature significantly. Luckily, I have my trusty plaid coat to keep me warm and cozy when the breeze combats the sunshine.
Yesterday, one of my roommates and I spent the day exploring Ohio City and driving around downtown to scope out spots where we could take photos. Olivia blogs over at Our Wandering Mind and shares her tips for travel, college, and how to throw a good party. Neither of us are photographers by any means, but we still had tons of fun taking outfit photos yesterday!
Dream Closet, Vol. 26
Saturday, February 18, 2017
Another month, another scroll through Net-A-Porter. It's a weird in-between season for fashion at the moment, a combination of lingering winter and resort with our toes dipped into the waters of spring. I'm not one to incorporate color into my wardrobe aside from the occasional blush pink and every day bold lipstick. But I just can't help but look at all of the cute and colorful pieces in the what's new pages!
Positivitea Cup Twenty-Six: An Update On Post Grad Life
Friday, February 17, 2017
I graduated almost exactly two months ago and all I have to show for it is my cap and gown sitting in my closet. Just kidding. My diploma is sitting somewhere at home with the incorrect date printed in decorative script that I was too lazy to request to get changed. Besides, I think it's pretty funny.
It's kind of weird not having school, if I'm being completely honest. I don't by any means miss the work though, don't get me wrong there either. It's nice coming home from work and not having any class assignment to worry about. I love that I don't have to tailor my schedule around a few hours on campus. And I most certainly do not miss the 10 hour days slaving in the newspaper lab trying to make a paper happen every three weeks.
Sephora Wish List
Thursday, February 16, 2017
Hi, I'm Francesca. I like autumn, pumpkin spice lattes, and long walks through Sephora. I've been pretty good about not buying new makeup, but I'm due for replacements in foundation, concealer, exfoliator, and it's always nice to lust after a few new bits, right? My favorite thing is loading up my shopping cart on Sephora's website, seeing the tallied up total, crying, considering it because I now have free shipping as VIB Rouge, and then settling for the absolute necessities. It sure is fun to dream, though.
The Year of FINALLY Saving Money
Wednesday, February 15, 2017
It's no surprise that I want to move to New York City. It's been a dream of mine since I was, god, ten? Eleven? Maybe even younger? I'm not sure if there was a singular moment where I thought that the city was right for me, but I've had it ingrained in my head that I need to be there and I'm not keen on taking no for an answer. It's also no surprise that New York City is expensive as hell to live in, from rent to public transportation to inflated costs of absolutely everything.
This all translates to one thing: I need to start learning how to save money. Stat. Notice how I said learn instead of just start. I have an issue where when I get money, I want to, naturally, spend it. I'm not good at keeping my bank account replenished, which is something I've slowly been working on year by year. But it's never been more important for me to start doing this than it has right here, right now.
Single As a Pringle On the "Day of Love"
Tuesday, February 14, 2017
I was going to name this post "Being Single on Valentine's Day," but realized that was the title of my blog post a year ago today. So. We're going to have to get a little more creative with these Valentine's Day blog post titles if this is how it's all going to continue down the line.
This is just a post to remind all of my single people that it's okay to not have a significant other. More power to ya! Power to everyone! Today is a day of love and tomorrow is a day of discounted chocolates. Could it be a better two days? I think not!
In searching for last year's Valentine's Day post, I also found this old love themed playlist I created a couple of years ago and just looking at the track list gave me heart eyes, so I figured it'd be nice to share it one more time.
Happy Valentine's Day! XOXOXOXO
Best Dressed: Grammys 2017
Monday, February 13, 2017
The Grammys are one of the only award shows that I can sit through the whole night and not want to continue binge-watching whatever show I'm attempting to truck through at the moment. I live for Grammys Sunday, from the red carpet coverage, to the incredible artists being honored, down to the performances and collaborations that could only take place on the Grammy stage.
The red carpet for the Grammys is always full of interesting pieces. I feel like the fashion at this award show is always much more punchy and interesting than any other, which is why it becomes a yearly spectacle for me.
P.S. I have no included a picture of Beyonce's stage outfit purely because nothing else will ever compare to that godly image and having it on the main page of my blog will just make my computer screen implode. I'm assuming. Who knows. She's perfection and can do absolutely no wrong and I had to give her a shout-out somewhere in this post. It would not be a music award show post if Beyonce wasn't somehow mentioned.

Six More College Survival Tips
Saturday, February 11, 2017
By now, you all know how huge of a fan I am of unsolicited advice that I am not qualified to give. It's one of my favorite things to do, besides reorganizing my lipstick drawer and hoard magazines that I don't have time to flip through, let alone read. I'm not sure whether some of these classify specifically as college survival tips or just life tips (see: number one), but regardless, I think they can still apply one way or another!
Eyeshadow Palette Collection
Friday, February 10, 2017
For someone who talks about how infrequently she switches up her eye look and experiments with various colors, I own a fair bit of eyeshadow palettes. I used to be more into eyeshadow, then I fell out of love with it. In order to compensate for that, I think I went a little eyeshadow palette crazy in the recent months and now I think I might have too many. Though, I suppose that's all relative. There are probably people who have many more than me, which is what I say to make myself feel better about all of the money that I've spent on these palettes over the years.

1. Selfie
This show originally debuted for a short period of time from September 2014 to December 2014. Selfie was a modern day adaptation of My Fair Lady (which I just discovered). I remember this show being on during my sophomore year of college because my mom would talk about it from time to time, but I didn't have time to watch it, especially without DVR. I was scrolling through Hulu the other day and I saw that this show was up and I decided that it was time to finally see Karen Gillan and John Cho in action.

Everyday Makeup
Wednesday, February 8, 2017
There's a formula to my everyday makeup routine. The only thing that changes on a daily basis is the color of my eyeshadow (even that is limited to a few color palettes), blush and highlighter olor (again, fairly limited), and the shade of my lipstick. There's certain steps that I've been following for years, but more recently, for the past few months. I use the same face products, I do my eyeliner the same, I have a step-by-step process that I live by to expedite my morning routine. There's no surprises when I'm going my makeup in the morning because that's just how I keep my mornings from being insanely hectic. It already takes me long enough to try to pick out an outfit. There's no need to make it more difficult for myself!
The Great Lipstick Adventure, Part Two
Tuesday, February 7, 2017
It's no secret that I own too many lipsticks for one person. I know there are people with more, that's a given, but what does a normal 21-year-old need more than 80 lipsticks for? What purpose do they all serve in my life? How much money have I spent on said lipstick? How do I justify all of the paychecks I blew on lip products?
Two years ago, I challenged myself to what I called The Great Lipstick Adventure. Essentially, I had sheets of paper with lipstick swatches on them of all of my spring and summer lipsticks. Every time I wore one of the lipsticks, I had to mark a tally next to it on the sheet. The goal was to end up wearing all of my lipsticks at least once to justify their existence in my collection.
Trends I Love (And Am Probably Behind On): Layering With Turtlenecks
Monday, February 6, 2017
About 80% of the time, I am behind on the trends, holding onto fads from last season. I can't help it. I'm perpetually late to everything, trends included. I don't even know if the trend I'm talking about today could even be classified as a trend or just something that I saw on a few fashion blogs once. All I know is that if it gives me a way to repurpose a turtleneck, I'm in.

Favorite Six Face Masks
Saturday, February 4, 2017
After years of avoiding it, I think 2016 turned into my year of skincare. Or at least, the last few months I've tried to focus on skincare deeper than just me washing my face twice a day and using spot treatments to try to zap away the acne that seems to chronically plague me. One of my favorite forms of skincare has quickly become face masks. It's like I'm trying to play Pokemon and catch all of the masks until I have them all.
I like to do a mask a few times a week, all for different reasons. Sometimes my skin is so dry and patchy than it just needs some exfoliating. Sometimes I just want to treat my oily skin (usually more in the spring and summer months rather than the winter). I like to keep a few on hand at all times just so I'm never without one. Out of all of the masks I've tried and sampled, these are the six that I've loved the most.

1. H&M v-neck knit sweater
I saw this sweater on a mannequin at H&M when I went home during the Christmastime. It was originally pretty expensive at around $50 and I wasn't really in the mood to spend that much money on a sweater from H&M. Flashforward to a week or so later and I was in a different H&M with my cousin. And what sweater do I come across but this one marked down to $10 for that weekend only. I snatched that sweater off the rack so fast I didn't even know what to do with myself.
Spring 2017 Fashion Trends
Wednesday, February 1, 2017
Every time I go to write about clothing for the next season, the weather decides to take a turn for the worse Two weeks ago, it was warm and gorgeous outside. There was a day that I was sweating without a jacket on. I drove with my windows down!!! However, snow is coating Cleveland again and I'm going to, no doubt, have to clean three days worth of snow off of my car. Ugh.
But, fashion abides by no seasons! The retail market is gearing up to put out spring collections, if they haven't already started toying with some resort pieces here and there for the well-traveled bunch.

Robert Pattinson and Dustin Diamond Were Roommates
You'll Scratch Your Head Just Like Rob When You Find Out Who He Used to Live With
Image Source: Getty / Lisa Maree Williams
In today's "what the hell" news, Robert Pattinson decided to randomly reveal an amazing, confusing, and odd fact about himself that has us scratching our heads. While calling into On Air With Ryan Seacrest on Thursday, the Good Time actor told the host that his first roommate in Hollywood was none other than Saved by the Bell actor Dustin Diamond. The two lived in LA's Oakwood apartment complex, which Ryan explained is known for housing up-and-coming actors. While it seems normal for Rob to be in those apartments back before his Twilight success, it is a bit strange that Dustin, or "Screech," was living there.
Not only are we scratching our heads at the thought of Rob and Screech living together, but the star also revealed that Dustin introduced him to a classic American dish: Hot Pockets! "I was with Screech, Dustin Diamond. I loved it. I really miss it," Rob said. "Dustin was the first person to introduce me to Hot Pockets!" What a strange day, guys.

McParlan reports from Shenandoah City in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. Among other news, McParlan observes that general feeling is that the company had burned the East Norwegian Shaft in order to prejudice the public against the men on strike and that the local Catholic priest would not permit the Molly Maguires attending church in regalia on St. Patrick's Day. The report includes the time period from 1875-02-17 to 1875-02-26.

Ashton Mining Ltd. reported a production of 12.5 million carats in the third quarter, a considerable increase from this period last year. The total carat talley for the year at end of the 3rd quarter is 31.8 million.
According to experts in the company, although world economic conditions are having a slowing effect on revenue, high demand in the U.S. continues to aid diamond sales. Of the 63 diamonds offered at the annual Argyle Pink Diamond several were sold to U.S. bidders.

How to make money online
A few ways to make money online!
There is nothing better than making money from the comfort of your own home. Its what most people dream of, since you don't have to put aside personal life to do work – you can make your own timetable.
So whats the drawback?
Not many people know how to make money online, and its just so simple! You don't have to give any bank details, for all of these methods you just have to give an address – and recieve a check, or get money straight onto Paypal. So, on with the methods.
Writing online
This is an obvious one, because its what im doing right now. Websites like Hubpages(which is my personal favorite, as it gains you much more views than competitors, with great Search Engine Optimization) Triond(which i stopped using because of an incredibly low Search Engine Optimization) are the main examples, which simply allow you to write an article, upload it, and then get paid a fraction of a cents for every view. It takes about(on average) 4 views to get 1 cents, so you need to put in a bit of work to get some fans that view most of your uploads.
These two sites in particular also allow you to integrate Google Adsense, a section of Google which allows you to place ads on your website, and gain money per view, or per click.
The url that your article is placed on will have pre-placed ads, that are vaguely relevant to your article, so whoever hosts the URL it is on gets money from any click on them, however with integrating this feature – you can get a certain amount of money from each click put onto your Google Adsense account. Amazing right?
Within the two i named, i have actually found HubPages to be the better, however i found Triond first and i have a small base of people that view my articles from it. HubPages is better because it allows you to have your article at the top of the Google search results if you type in something related to it, whereas Triond is very far back, meaning you will only get views from the site it is published on being browsed, which is usually very rare. HubPages also gives you more resources to help view your traffic, such as telling you what website people came from to visit your article (e.g. Google, or the HubPages homepage).
I think the main reason i love writing online for payment is because i love writing, and i always write reviews on things that interest me - so its more of a hobby, with the added benefit that i get a small payment for it too.
This isn't a very popular site that is used, however its very good for making money if you do it right. Basically, you browse through a selection of things being sold, the majority of which are Ebooks(online books and guides), click on one, get your own link, and advertise it all over the internet. You can do this by creating your own website, sending the link to friends(over social networks or email/instant messaging), or in any other way you see fit!
If somebody clicks on your link, it takes them to a site in which they can buy the product you chose, and if they buy it – you get 50% of the profit! So if the Ebook is a £30 guide on washing machines, you will gain £15 for every sale you get. Fantastic!
Of course, the hard thing here is advertising it - your trying to get someones money, not their time, so they tend to be a lot trickier to persuade.
I have already explained what Adsense is in the writing online section, however i will talk about its main use some more here. To use Adsense mainly, you will need to create your own website, and it will probably need paying for, since a free webhost can't get you high search engine optimization.
This website can insert links, or a link, onto your webpage, and if someone clicks on it, you get a small amount of money. It is easily customized(colors and shape) and can go where you want, and can be in a wide range of quantities. They tend to use the content of your website to pick adverts for you.
This is a great, trustworthy tool – but only if you can use it properly. Too many will severely damage your traffic, and too little will barely get you any money.
Good luck!

Colchester High School sophomore Alex Gardner was recently awarded top honors in the Vermont Foreign Language Association's 2013 Poster Contest. Alex's submission was judged on its visual impact and overall appeal, its relevance to the theme (which was "Foreign languages: They Nourish the Brain!"), neatness, originality, accuracy, and conforming to size requirements. She and her fellow winners from around the state will be honored at a reception at the Vermont State House in Montpelier in the spring.
CHS Spanish III student Victoria Mier was also recently recognized for her accomplishments in the study of foreign language; hers was an award-winning submission to the annual Vermont Foreign Language Association's Essay Contest.
Why is the study of foreign languages important?
There are countless benefits associated with studying foreign languages. It can open up additional career opportunities, deepen cultural understanding and appreciation and acceptance of diversity, facilitate traveling, dramatically improve communication and listening skills, and much more. There are even numerous cognitive and neurological benefits associated with learning new languages.
Victoria and Alex were honored at a reception at the Vermont State House on April 9 for their foreign language study and award-winning projects.

These stuffed peppers I actually made as a starter for dinner, just because they were so cute, but you could easily have this as a main, I even had it for breakfast the other day. 3 small peppers were perfect for a breakfast!
It is actually a very simple recipe, you basically stuff the peppers with whatever suits your pallet. I fried up some minced beef in butter (of course!), seasoned it generously with salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic, cumin and some paprika. I also added a dash of cream and some hot salsa.
Before adding the mince into the halfed peppers, I added some philadelphia cheese. On top I sprinkled some mozarella cheese and very finely chopped yellow pepper and tomatoe. Then in the oven it goes, for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and yummy!

It's believed the pedestrian, another female motorcyclist, had stopped to pick up something off the road when she was struck.
She was airlifted to Tamworth Hospital with serious injuries, including leg fractures while the other woman died at the scene.
Earlier a teenager died after his car smashed into a tree near Canberra.
The 19-year-old man was killed after his car crashed in Hoskinstown, southeast of Canberra just before 8am on Thursday.
The man died at the scene.
In another fatal crash on NSW roads, a man died after his van ploughed into a power pole in Dubbo on Thursday morning.
The driver in his 50s died in hospital following the crash at Erskine and Darling streets.

#AtoZchallenge – A is aioli
When ever I host a dinner party the one thing that all of my friends request is aioli and a basket of warm crusty bread.
This creamy garlic mayonnaise is a traditional appetiser in Spanish restaurants. A basket of warm Spanish bread is bought to your table with a bowl of aioli and back in my wheat eating days I was the first person to dive in.
Nowa days I take my own gluten free bread to Spanish restaurants and I quickly take my share of the aioli before it gets contaminated with wheat crumbs.
Having never made mayonnaise before I thought this would be the perfect time to give it ago. I used a pale coloured rapeseed oil which gave the creamy colour, but you can use the oil suggested in the recipe below or perhaps a rich coloured rapeseed oil which will give it a nice dark yellow colour . It was surprising easy and I really enjoyed making it.
I know that not everyone has the time to make their own, so the recipe below is using shop bought mayonnaise. But feel free to make your own mayonnaise. I have included a link below to where I got my recipe.
If you would like to create your own little bit of Spain on a plate, this is how you do it.
This recipe serves 4
4 tablespoons of full fat mayonnaise or you can use light – the taste is slightly different if you do. I used homemade mayonnaise – the recipe was from BBC Good Food.
2 minced or crushed medium cloves of garlic or use one large clove
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Salt and pepper
Put the mayonnaise is into a small bowl. Add the minced garlic and lemon juice and mix together. Season with a good turn of black pepper and a pinch of salt. Mix together.
Chill until ready to serve. Ideal with warm crusty gluten free bread – or any bread of your choice.
Happy gluten free cooking 🙂

Minnesota Public Radio's The Current has organized a simulcast of Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U" at 5:07 p.m. Central Time — 6:07 p.m. ET. The planned broadcast is in reference to the lyric "7 hours and 13 days," in relationship to Prince's death at his Paisley Park Estate on April 21.
WFUV in New York and WXPN in Philadelphia will partake in the tribute this evening, and The Current invites fans to contribute via social media, using #NothingCompares2U, to tag videos, photos and Tweets of them singing the song when the clock strikes.

The Long Half Day
The Long Half Day happened at i'klectik in March. It's difficult to condense 12 hours of playing into a few words, so here's the whole thing courtesy of Resonance Extra who broadcast it the following week.
You can make your own mind up, I really enjoyed it.
Al Strachan of Lost Property made this excellent short(er) film of it which is worth a watch if you have half an hour.
The Long Half Day album launch
This Sunday at 7pm at the Rag Factory in London we're launching the Long Half Day USB album which Slightly Off Kilter are releasing. Come and take your pick from the different cases we've made and have a listen to us doing some free improv.
All the details are on Sound and Music here: http://www.soundandmusic.org/thesampler/event/2013/11/long-half-day-album-launch
We'd love to see you there.

THERE has been an improvement in the number of people being seen within four hours in A&E.
Figures from NHS England show that in the week ending March 1, 73.3 per cent of those attending the emergency department were seen, treated or discharged in four hours, in Queen Alexandra Hospital.
The government benchmark is 95 per cent. However in the same timeframe the England national average was 87 per cent.
For QA this is an improvement on the previous week'S figures of 64.9 per cent.
Health research group Nuffield Trust yesterday, called for the four-hour waiting time target to be downgraded as it distorts priorities for managers.
The target was introduced in 2004 and set at 9 per cent, but relaxed to 95 per cent in 2010.
Fareham MP Mark Hoban said: 'Four hours is a generous amount of time for people to be seen, I don't think the time should be relaxed.'

Best practices for advertising on Facebook
Consumed => "11 tips for a better Facebook ad campaign" by Shaad Hamid on SEOptimise.
=> My value add (i.e., left a comment)…
Good stuff Shaad. Thanks.
Three things:
1) This is brilliant.
"Therefore, I cannot stress enough the importance of a great landing page. It's often best to create specific landing pages solely for PPC campaigns. Trust me, the investment in development time will yield higher return on investment and provide a more effective PPC campaign."
Sadly, you don't offer a solution for unreasonable clients and "Ugly Baby Syndrome".
2) I think it should be noted that the paragraph just mentioned plays well to "Getting the account structure right". That is, be specific, be targeted. The more granular your structure the easier it's going to be to manage, measure and maximize. Obviously, this applies to AdWords efforts as well.
3) I'd like to recommend you add a Step 12 – Be Willing to Experiment.

The Northwest is no longer under a snowfall warning, but that doesn't mean the weather is getting any easier to deal with.
Environment Canada has lifted snowfall warnings for Terrace, Kitimat, and the Highway 16 corridor between Smithers and Terrace.
However, the Terrace area now has a freezing drizzle advisory in place.
Forecasters say a cold and moist airmass has is responsible for freezing drizzle that is likely to stick around for the remainder of Friday and continue into the evening.
The weather office says the freezing drizzle is likely to cause slippery conditions on roads and walkways.

The Sunday Drive: Saugeen Bluffs Maple Syrup Festival
If there's one thing I get antsy for around this time of year, it's fresh, dark, sticky, delicious maple syrup. Having grown up in a small town where one could see tapped trees on one's bus ride to school, and where annual visits to the sugar bush were a given, I can't help but have an instinct for sugaring-off time. Warm days, slightly frozen nights, and the blood in my veins starts flowing in a decidedly spring-like fashion right along with the sap.
I have a friend in BC who may actually rival me in the maple mania department. In a recent email, he confessed to loving all things maple: maple ice cream, maple cookies, maple candies, maple perogies. Okay, I'm making up the perogies, but I KNOW he'd eat them if they existed. If he lived closer, I'd have invited him along on our Sunday drive a few weekends ago to the "Maple Madness" festival (disappointingly renamed this year as "Old Thyme Maple Syrup Festival") that takes place near Paisley.
Taking Jade there was something I'd been looking forward to all winter. There are all sorts of displays, lots of folks dressed up in costumes from pioneer days, live music, and several opportunities to watch sap being collected, boiled and turned into precious, precious syrup. And hey - there's a petting zoo! At the very least, Jade enjoyed her encounters with live chickens, sheep, llamas and goats. It was probably a welcome change from Mummy acting them out at home.
It's a good opportunity to get some fresh air, take in the forest surroundings, and eat copious amounts of locally made sausage and hotcakes smothered in that year's first syrup crop. Oh, how I love eating outdoors...
Anyway, that was our latest Sunday drive. I came home pleasantly weary from all the walking and with a very satisfied tummy from all the pancakes. What more can you ask from a Sunday drive?

I should probably clarify... that was in response to your question of what more can you ask for from a sunday drive: chocolate peanut butter.
I lurve maple syrup too... I'm looking forward to my breakfast of pancakes and maple syrup tomorrow morning. Off to bed so that I can wake up and eat sooner.

Did Dwain go, too? Did Jade try the syrup? I bought some in the summer to "give", remember? Well, I kept one bottle for myself!
Okay, Jaime. You really ARE obsessed, girl.

I love the burnt flavour of maple syrup, but for me it has to be Tate & Lyle Golden Syrup. As long as it's sweetly sick and fattening any syrup will do of course. I recently had French Toast, with a slices banana on top, drizzled with golden syrup - then just as I was about to put it in my mouth ... ... ... the phone rang. Grrrrrhhhhhh. xx

Sorry everyone! Life is a little bit crazy right now - I have not posted much because of this. I am teaching in 3 Fairfax County schools, just choreographed "High School Musical" for Rockville High School, I am doing James Thurber's "Many Moons" at Falls Church Art Space - (see below), am bar tending at Signature, working at Ticketplace (sometimes), and doing a workshop of "Parade" at Ford's Theatre this week. So a very busy man am I. And this is also audition season here in DC, so there has been plenty of that, and ongoing.
More updates will follow soon, as many things are forthcoming - including me doing a DC Fringe show for the first time...stay tuned!

Games of Skill and How They Differ from Games of Chance
There are various types of casino games, including slots, lottery or card games, and so on. Some of these games require special knowledge or abilities. Such games are called games of skill; blackjack and baccarat are two examples. Slots, on the other hand, are considered games of chance because you cannot influence the outcome based on how you play. Find more about online casino games here.
Characteristics of Games of Skill
- Particular skills are required.
- The players are expected to follow certain rules.
- Players can improve their chances of winning by reading books or guides, watching videos, and of course practicing.
- Performance improves over time.
- Players develop their own tactics and strategies.
In addition to learning the necessary skills, it is very important to be calm and self-confident when playing these types of games. During a blackjack game, for example, if you start to act nervous, the other players will know that you are up to something. On the other hand, you can trick the other players about your feelings in order to gain an advantage. Find out more about online casino games by visit www.goldmancasino.com.
In comparison with games of chance, games of skill are more difficult, so if you just want to relax, it is better to go with a game of chance. These games are unpredictable, so you can find out whether you are a lucky person.
There is a lot of discussion about poker: some people are convinced that it is a game of chance, while others have the opposite view. The fact is that, in poker, both skills and chance play a role. You can improve at poker with experience, but there is no way to predict exactly what the cards will be in any given hand. It could therefore be said that poker represents a third type of casino game that combines skill and luck.
You can find examples of both skill and chance casino games at www.casinoroom.com.

I promised myself an " inside" day to get started on Mom's manuscript. But mid morning Gisele came by and invited me for a Girls Sauna Day and supper. - now that's a great idea!! I rushed and baked bread for supper and made butter tarts, and by 1 pm the girls were in the 150 degree sauna and going in and out for swims. It took some getting used to get into the cold water, but I had a great swim or two. ?? It was great. I think the wine and the heat got to me, because I needed a lay down!! Had a nap for a bit, and then got up to help with supper. Felt much better. I really had a nice time. I don't think I was bad. I met Gisele's neighbours and found out that they now live in the log house in Timmins on Airport road that Uncle Wilson built!! Small world. A great recreational day!

All I wanted was to get the backlight to turn off when my laptop(Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop running Xubuntu 8.04 Hardy) was idle for a few minutes. Is that so wrong? Why did it take over 3 hours of googling and trying various things without really understanding what I was doing?
I did a whole lot of things, and I have no idea which ones were truly necessary or not, so I will start at the end, with the final change that actually got it to work, and work backwards from there.
I had everything configured properly but still the screensaver and turning off the monitor would not work. Then I found a Ubuntu Forums post that said that the gnome-screensaver module is turned off by default in Xubuntu 8.04 even though there is a place in the Settings Manager for configuring the screensaver! That would explain that all the changes I made to the screensaver configuration had no apparent effect! To make matters worse, apparently the gnome-power-manager settings for what to do when the computer is idle depend on the gnome-screensaver module to be activated, so power management is hobbled by default also. In any event, the fix is:
- Settings -> Settings Manager -> Autostarted apps
- Then click on Add to create a new entry
- Then enter gnome-screensaver as the command (and any name and description you want)
- Then exit out and restart the desktop (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) to restart with the screensaver running.
Working backwards, here is how I configured the screensaver settings:
- Settings -> Settings Manager -> Screensaver
- Select a screensaver theme.
- Set the slider for "Regard the computer as idle after"
- Check the box for "Activate screensaver when idle."
- Click on the Power Management button
- On both the On AC Power and On Batter Power tabs set the slider for "Put display to sleep when inactive for:"
However, after much fiddling around I was able to get the backlight to turn off without going through the screensaver first (at least not for long) by doing the following:
- Set the screensaver to "Blank" on the screensaver settings page.
- Start up gconf-editor from a terminal, then navigate to Apps -> Gnome-Power-Manager -> Timeout and set the values for sleep_display_ac and sleep_display_battery to both be 1.
Another thing I did was use gconf-editor to set the settings for Apps -> Gnome-Power-Manager -> Backlight -> dpms_method_ac and dpms_method_battery to "off". I think this may have been necessary to ensure that the backlight was told to turn off when the idle time setting was reached.
Other things I did earlier, but which I am not sure were necessary or not, were to install libsmbios-bin (sudo aptitude install libsmbios-bin) and then add dcdbas to /etc/modules (sudo nano etc/modules/ and then just put dcdbas on a line by itself). I read some posts that suggested these were necessary in order to allow Ubuntu to control the backlight on a Dell laptop, but who knows.
I learned that you can set more options of gnome-power-manager by installing gconf-editor (sudo aptitude install gconf-editor) then starting it by entering gconf-editor in a terminal, and then going

Rumor Denied: No Acer Chrome OS Netbook at Computex 2010
A few days ago, there was a rumor that Acer would be releasing a Chrome OS-based netbook at the upcoming Computex 2010 showcase. Unfortunately, this rumor turns out to be just that — a rumor. Recently, Acer has officially said that it will not be releasing such a device at Computex 2010.
Furthermore, Acer has announced that they will not be releasing any Chrome OS-based devices. Don't worry though, we'll keep you posted when we hear any other juicy rumors.
Via I4U.
First Chrome OS Device to be an Acer Netbook
In a couple weeks — two to be exact — Taiwanese computer manufacturer Acer is rumored to be launching netbooks (and possibly other tech devices) that run on the Google Chrome OS. The official display will take place at the Computex Taipei Show that will be held from June 1 to June 5.
It's still uncertain what other devices the Google Chrome OS will be featured in, but Google has mentioned that smartbooks and tablets running ARM processors would be likely vehicles. There has recently been rumors that Samsung is developing ARM-based smartbooks running Chrome.
Using an OS other than Google Android for netbooks is a good idea. The Android OS is better suited for tablets and cell phones. Google originally planned to release the Chrome operating system during the second half of 2010. The rumored Acer Chrome OS-based netbook is expected to launch in June, so that's just perfect.

Drive By-Truckers to release new album 'American Band'/
Drive-By Truckers have announced the release of their new album 'American Band' and will be available on Friday 30 September.
To celebrate the announcement, Mike Cooley-penned first single 'Surrender Under Protest' today, describing it as "like a lost track from Exile On Main Street, imbued with higher consciousness." You can hear the song below.
American Band is an urgent and timely protest album, with the songwriting split almost evenly between Patterson Hood (vocals, guitar) and Cooley (vocals, guitar, banjo). Hood says "Drive-By Truckers are celebrating our 20th anniversary as a band in an election year where some people are trying to define what it is to be American. Definitions based on some outdated ideology of prejudice and fear.
"We are loudly proclaiming that those people don't speak for us. America is and always has been a land of immigrants and ideals. Ideals that we have often fallen short of achieving, but it's the striving that has given us whatever claims to greatness we have had. That's what America means to us and 'We're an American Band'."
American Band Tracklisting
1. Ramon Casiano
2. Darkened Flags At The Cusp of Dawn
3. Surrender Under Protest
4. Guns of Umpqua
5. Filthy and Fried
6. Sun Don't Shine
7. Kinky Hypocrite
8. Ever South
9. What It Means
10. Once They Banned Imagine
11. Baggage

The "He said... She said..." Series started as a way to keep a running list of memorable phrases I have priveledge to during the day. Here's this weeks.
Bridgey (exact quote): "Mom! I'm going to have the Biggest Boy Part, when I'm big like my dad!" (Lately he and Ky have this thing about having the "biggest" or being the "fastest", it's driving me a little nuts, but at this moment it was pure humor.
"Look, I pop Kitty in the eye" followed by a poke, poke, to the puppy's eyeball.
A disheartened Bridgey cry followed by "I have toilet paper stuck to my bum"
What do you want to name your puppy? "Kitty!"
Kyanne: after we got the dog, she asked if we could "keep her forever, even when we go to Heaven and live with Heavenly Father and Jesus?"
And, last night, she just blew me away when I asked her if she knew who Satan was during my family home evening lesson. Her answer was so amazing and detailed that I asked her to stand up and teach that part of the lesson for me. I was floored. Thanks primary (church) leaders and teachers. What a wonderful blessing you are to us and our little ones.
Hearing her detailed response helped me realize how much she does listen and take in. I feel so encouraged and responsible to really take the time to be teaching her these important things that will help her through life. It made me think of this scripture in Proverbs.
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
Proverbs 22:6

For us 3pm to 4pm often seems to be the longest hour of the day (well...sometimes). It's the time when the kids wake up from their naps and are eagerly waiting for Adam to get home at 4pm. The most ideal activity would be playing outside, however, the kids are often cranky after their naps, and it isn't always pleasant getting them dressed to go out.
A few days ago we did something a little different. We busted out the wooden beads, rice and magnetic letters and numbers...not to mention, the measuring cups.
This was Harrison's first time playing with a sensory bin (poor second child) and Ella's first time making jewellery. Both activities were successful - big time.
Except for the parts where Harrison started eating the uncooked rice. Why? Why would he even attempt it when he doesn't even eat cooked rice.
Ella was amazed by all the different shapes of the beads. I bought a giant package of wooden beads from Michael's and I'm pretty sure they will last forever.
Harrison's favourite part of the sensory bin was scooping the contents from one bin to another...
...until I showed him the letters and numbers stick to a cookie sheet. He was pretty good at picking out the letters and numbers, although, he did try to stick a few beads on the cookie sheet.
When Ella was done with her necklaces (yes, she decided to make two), she hopped down on the floor to play with Harrison. She was quite adamant that she would show him how to play with the rice bin. Her 'great idea' was to spread all the rice, letters and beads onto the cookie sheet.
It was also fun when she picked up the cookie sheet and tried to dump the rice back into the bin. :P
Another popular item was the muffin tin pan. The kids had fun scooping stuff into each of the muffin cups. And, yes (Mother), I washed all of these things before putting them back in the cupboards.
Ella proudly gave one of the necklaces to Harrison and he was more than happy to wear it...for a few minutes!
Thanks for reading :D

Quick Tip Tuesday: Finding the meaning of unknown vocabulary
March 23rd, 2010
When reading nonfiction texts, many children are hindered in their understanding when they come across an unfamiliar word. To solve this problem and to equip students with the necessary strategies to decode unknown words, Tony Stead shows students how to look for clues in the text and how to use a book's glossary for clues. In his book, Reality Checks: Teaching Reading Comprehension with Nonfiction K-5, Tony outlines many other practical approaches to help children become confident readers of nonfiction.
In Lisa's classroom we realized that before providing demonstrations, we needed to initiate talk about what strategies the children themselves used when faced with challenging vocabulary. We achieved this by reading part of a text on whales. When we came to a challenging word, we stopped and talked about ways we could determine its meaning. The children came up with many suggestions, so we charted their responses.
Strategies to Use When You Don't Know the Meaning of a Word
■ Look in a dictionary.
■ Ask a friend.
■ Ask the teacher.
■ Context clues
Read back.
Read forward.
Read over. Stop and think.
Look for important words around it.
■ Look in the glossary.
■ Break the word apart.
Think about the meaning of each part.
Put it back together.
■ Use the picture.
It was not surprising that looking in a dictionary was their number one reply, yet the set of class dictionaries appeared to be gathering dust, indicating it had been some time since our learners had used them. It is also the number one response of most children in classrooms where I've worked, because they have been instructed so many times to rely on this strategy. Yet rarely do they employ it when faced with an unknown word. They find going through a dictionary laborious and tedious, and the reading becomes joyless. This is especially true when they encounter a barrage of unknown words in one piece and find themselves with the dictionary as their main source of reading rather than the selected text.
Many children haven't even been instructed in how to properly use a dictionary and spend their time aimlessly flicking through pages, hoping the unknown word will magically appear. What is even more frustrating to learners is that if they happen to chance on the word, its meaning uses even more complex vocabulary than the word itself, leaving the children totally confused.
The children were aware of a multitude of good strategies that could assist them, but they rarely used them. Clearly they could talk the talk, but not walk the walk. We sorted the strategies into two categories: primary and secondary. For primary strategies, the reader uses methods within the body of the text to solve word meanings. Secondary strategies require the reader to go outside the body of the text, whether it be a glossary, a dictionary, or simply asking another person for assistance. We encouraged children to use primary strategies before secondary strategies. This way they were not always having to go outside the body of the text to find word meanings, which inevitably interrupts the reading and compromises comprehension. An example of the list below can be found in Appendix E.
What to Do if You Don't Know the Meaning of a Word
Primary Strategies
■ Context clues
Read back.
Read forward.
Read over. Stop and think.
Look for important words around it.
■ Break the word apart.
Think about the meaning of each part.
Put it back together.
■ Use the picture.
Secondary Strategies
■ Look in the glossary.
■ Look it up in a dictionary.
■ Ask a friend.
■ Ask the teacher.
Once the lists were completed, we modeled how they could be of assistance when students were faced with unknown vocabulary. We knew explicit modeling was needed, which is often the missing link in instruction. Too often we solicit talk from the children and they give us what we want to hear, yet they have not internalized how to use the strategy independently.
We brought the children to the meeting area, and Lisa and I took turns reading Chapter 1 of a text called The Voice for the Animals by Evelyn Brooks. We made sure all the children could see the text as we read it to them. We told the children that as the text was read, they should raise their hands if they heard a word whose meaning they didn't know.
What Are the SPCAs?
"Throughout the United States, there are many local organizations that work to save the lives of abandoned and mistreated animals. Each organization is known as the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). The people who work at SPCAs rescue and care for these hurt creatures. At the SPCAs the animals are cleaned and fed. If the animals are healthy and well behaved, they are offered to people for adoption."
When we read the word abandoned, several hands were raised, so we stopped reading and wrote the word on chart paper. We referred them to the first primary strategy—context clues—and asked whether there were any words or ideas around the word that gave them hints about its meaning. The children told us that mistreated and organizations that work to save gave them clues, so we recorded those on the chart next to the word abandoned. We asked them to discuss with the student next to them possible meanings of the word based on the key words around it and recorded their responses.
We then asked which words were most likely the true meaning. The children came up with the words hurt and left through the process of elimination. They agreed that smacked didn't make sense because lots of people smack their dogs when they are naughty, and an organization that tried to stop this didn't make sense. As Katie put it, "You're not saving an animal's life if you stop the owner from smacking it." The words yelled at were also quickly eliminated for the same reason. This left hurt and left, which both made sense, so we then looked to other primary strategies: breaking the word apart and looking at the picture. These appeared to offer little support, so we suggested we leave our primary strategies and look to the first secondary strategy: the glossary. This was met with some resistance, as the children informed us that only words in bold such as prevention and adoption would be in the glossary. Therefore, in the children's eyes this was a waste of time. When I showed them the glossary with the word abandoned, they were stunned. "But how can that be?" Jeremy asked. This was a good question, so we gave the children some time to think until Alex asked to look at the previous pages of the book. I showed the children the page before, which happened to be the introduction.
I had not read it to them, and there was the word abandoned in bold print. This was a valuable learning experience for our children, for they realized that you can't assume a word won't be in the glossary just because it isn't highlighted on a specific page. They had also learned that when trying to locate the meaning of unknown vocabulary, you sometimes need to use more than one strategy. Harry summed it up perfectly when he said, "I feel like a detective looking for clues and some of these are hidden from me. You have to look carefully."
Harry's notion of being a word detective was one that appealed to the children, so we ensured that when reading texts that had complex vocabulary we always put on our detective hats and used our strategy chart to help solve the mystery. Sometimes Lisa and I would provide texts that contained vocabulary that could be solved only with the use of a dictionary. Other times we used texts with complex vocabulary that could be easily solved by simply breaking the word into parts, such as compound words. Our goal was to get our learners to start using these strategies naturally as they read independently so that their comprehension of informational texts was not lost. To achieve this goal we needed to provide ongoing demonstrations.

.on that block, again.
I realized this week I'm on that block again. You know that block. The one you keep walking again and again...but usually I think I am on a different block. Something starts to feel familiar but I think I can't be here again...this is different. I let go of that habit and would never walk that block again...but sure enough Thursday evening I was laying on my back in small office room with one of those generic canvas pictures of a mystical foggy tree lined street hanging on the wall receiving an acupuncture treatment and I realized, yep I am right there, again. I am on that block and I've been on it for awhile! I am a stubborn learner!
I am stressed. I've been stressed. I've been holding onto my stress like a dear companion. I've been treating stress like it's an inspirational motivator for me. I have had a overflowing work schedule for the past few weeks and a huge jewelry opportunity and both events are culminating within 12 hours of each other!! So I am working two full-time job to manage both. It's overwhelming which leads to a lack of focus at work and making mistakes in the studio. BUT for some reason I found myself on that block again. That block that says, "holding on to those unrealistic expectations and the stress that accompanies them will make you MORE productive!" This has never ever ever been true. I have tried it many times, holding on to that stress - forcing things - only finding myself depleted when the moment arrives. Instead of, acknowledging my unrealistic expectations - letting them (and the stress that companions them) go - allowing myself to focus on what I am doing, right here - where I am.
I told my acupuncturist all of this, she just smiled and said "all we can hope is to continue to recognize that block (pattern) a little sooner next time, until some day we learn to totally avoid it."
Do you have blocks (patterns) that you frequent? How do you recognize them? What allows you to acknowledge and let go of them?
I went to the studio last night and started working on a piece and realized sometimes we just have to walk into and through path/block/pattern -in order to recognize it - in order to take the power away - in order to realize that is apart of the process.

Oh preschool.
I read through my posts about preschool before writing this today, on the day of his last preschool class, and I just can't believe how far we've come. How much things have changed since that first class 5 months ago. (The night before his first day, his first day, and three weeks in.)
Little J is pretty shy and ever since his sister was a few months old he's been home with me. He was a little older than 18 months when we pulled him out of daycare. Every so often I question my choice to stay home with the kids. I wonder if I'm doing a good job or if they'd be better off in a daycare setting.
|No smiles that day.
I knew preschool would be a good thing for Little J, but I was anxious. I was nervous that he wouldn't like it, that he would cry, that he wouldn't do well, and it would be my fault. But I knew it was something we had to do for him. The kid has to go to school eventually and preschool was going to be a stepping stone between being home full time and being in school full time.
When he started one morning a week in January it was awful. He cried and didn't eat his snack and didn't talk and once even left the room looking for me. I dreaded Wednesdays because I knew it was going to be hard starting from the minute he got up in the morning until we picked him up.
Slowly things started to change. It was the third week before he ate his snack. It six weeks before he tried to get out of going. In April I signed him up for Monday mornings too.
It's been 5 months and finally Little J looks forward to preschool. He talks about his little friends and about what book they read. He has a favourite game and has learned so much. When we drop him off he gives his sister a quick hug then me, and runs off to be with his friends. When we pick him up he talks excitedly about what they did that day. He shows off his artwork to his dad and sings songs he's learned.
My boy did well at preschool but it took him a while to get over his shyness and settle in. I'm glad we put him in it and I think it will make the transition from preschool to kindergarten easier. The proof that I made a good choice is in that smile.
