Looking for Oil & Gas Insurance Quotes in Calgary?
As the country's largest producer of oil and gas, Alberta is home to many oil sands deposits. Calgary, at its core, has become something of an economic hub for the energy industry in its province. There are head offices for many of the major energy companies situated in its downtown sectors. While the opportunities in the industry may be huge, running an oil and gas operation is no small task.

Don't get too excited now, I'm not writing this because I have the answer. I'm currently struggling with this question, and if I am, well darn it, you might as well join in too!
One more disclaimer here: this is my blog. I can write whatever I want on it and if anyone reading it experiences a feeling of being offended by anything I write, then you should be aware that it is your own sensitivity to the subject that is causing you to feel offended. My personal thoughts and points of view are just that – personal. If you agree – awesome! If you don't – equally awesome! We're not here to be clones of one another, we're here to engage in dialogue and learn from everyone.
I know vaccines are a sensitive issue, and I'm hoping that you will comment and share your thoughts and findings with me.
Let's start with what I know.
- I know that the Creator gave us perfectly functioning bodies with an intricate system to process and eliminate toxins from the body. (In other words, our bodies are fully equipped to get rid of the crap we put into it – literally!) But I also know that in today's world, the amount of toxic materials we are exposed to is enormous! I believe that it's more than we were created to handle. And there's a limit to what we can protect ourselves from. (I feel another post coming on about that!)
- I know I'm not vaccinating my kids for flu or chicken pox. In families that are generally healthy, those vaccines are very useful to parents who are unable to stay home and care for a sick kid. We are a generally healthy family who focus on immune building diets and practices, and if my kid gets the flu, I am grateful to be able to stay home and tend to them until they recover. And although I'm all about irradicating illnesses, the chicken-pox vaccine doesn't provide better immunity against infection than actually having and fighting chicken-pox. So for our family, if my kids don't get chicken-pox on their own by the time they're 11, then I'll start the vaccine, b/c that's when the benefits begin to outweigh the risks.
Now let's talk about the risks of vaccines in general:
The concept is brilliant. Use the body's own excellent mechanism of immunity to build antibodies for illnesses without actually being sick. It's the delivery method that's the problem.
Those of us who are "label-readers" are probably careful not to buy products that have lots of preservatives – or any for that matter. It's one of those things we can do to reduce the tax on our kidneys and liver. So think about this. We're careful not to eat preservatives – the stuff we ingest goes through a lot of processing before it reaches our blood. And yet we don't think twice before injecting a syringe-full of preservatives directly into our blood stream! (or muscle which is also more directly absorbed into the blood than food) – actually, not even our own, our tiny children's blood!
Even if the pharmaceutical companies in the US don't use mercury anymore, they are using some other preservative to keep those little germies safe till they get into baby's body! I know my language is a little alarmist right now. I admit it. So let me restate that in a more factual, non-emotional way: The vaccine is includes various chemicals in order to effectively administer to the body. The chemicals that are most often used are thimerasol (which is mercury, is not used in the US anymore, but if you're not in the US then ask!!) , formaldahyde, aluminum, ammonium sulfate (yes, as in ammonia that's found in urine and cleaning products), 2-phenoxythenol (a preservative with known toxicity levels – this is present in almost every vaccine your child will receive!), and more. I found a list of ingredients from the CDC website, and then went and looked up the specific ingredients. Here are the links for your enjoyment:
Center for Disease Control
List of Vaccine Ingredients
some sources for what the ingredients actually are:
Just like everything in life – and especially in health care – we have to weigh the benefits against the risks.
So then we get into looking at each individual vaccine and asking, "is it worth injecting all this poison into my child's body?"
Well, unvaccinated kids put the vaccinated public at risk. Did you know that?
It's true. Our vaccinated immunity sort of assumes that we're not actually coming into contact with the real thing, and when unvaccinated people are actually exposed to a disease, they can cause complications for other people. Freaky.
There was recently a mumps outbreak in Jerusalem. It seems it was brought over from the US, from a Jewish sect that feels that vaccination is against the Torah. The majority of infected people were actually vaccinated for mumps which is cause to question the effectiveness of the mumps vaccine. Although it's only given together w/ the measles and rubella vaccine (MMR) and the evidence shows that the immunity for those two are pretty high. Original article.
So I'm still not sold on vaccinating. I don't want my kids to get sick, I don't want them to be the cause of other people getting sick, but I also don't like the idea of bombarding their tiny little systems with known toxins.

Do you like prawn noodle?
This new hawker stall in the CBD serves up S$6 bowl of prawn noodle with healthier vegetable stock, home-made onsen egg and fresh seafood. It is opened by a former seafood restaurant chef who seeks to bring a more atas makan experience to the traditional prawn noodle hawker dish.
Their signature seafood prawn noodles are the chef's fresh take on the traditional dish, putting a fresh spin on things by drawing inspirations from Japanese and Korean cuisines. Plated and served like Japanese ramen, the prawn noodle dishes are priced reasonably from just S$6 to S$8 a bowl.
The hawker stall is helmed by Chef Vincent Goh who was formerly the head chef at GoroGoro Steamboat & Korean Buffet and I'm Kim Korean BBQ. It's not usual that a chef would transition to the hawker trade, but Chef Vincent shared that it has always been his dream to run his own business and was willing to take the risk (hence the name 'Siao Siao').
Siao Siao Seafood Hey Mee is the result of his perseverance and hard work. The youthful chef was candid about his chequered past. A former teen delinquent and school dropout, Vincent found his calling working in the kitchen and worked his way up right from the bottom, washing dishes. He has come a long way since and is a family man, determined to make Hey Mee a success.
For a tasty bowl of prawn noodle, the broth is probably the most important element that can make or fail the dish. As such, Chef Vincent is very particular about the quality of the water used and installed industrial filters in the kitchen to ensure the water used to cook the broth is pure and clean.
The vegetable stock at Hey Mee is formulated by the chef after months of experimentation in the kitchen and an apprenticeship at a traditional prawn noodle hawker stall opened by his friend.
The broth for prawn noodle in Singapore is traditionally brewed using prawn heads and pork bones but this is high in cholesterol. To devise a healthier alternative, the chef took inspiration from Japanese seafood soup stock which is usually sweetened with vegetables like carrots and cabbages. The result is a healthier broth brewed from a vegetable stock that tastes just as good as the regular prawn stock.
With his experience as the head chef at a seafood restaurant, Chef Vincent procures his ingredients from trusted suppliers at good value which is then passed on to the customers with lower prices. The scallops are imported from Japan, lala from Korea. Other than featuring prawn, clams and scallops, the stall also has a ultra-luxurious edition that features Boston lobster, priced from S$19 a bowl, depending on the seasonal price for the lobster.
The onsen eggs used in the noodles are made from scratch and takes an average of 12 hours to prepare.
We tried the signature noodle and found the serving really generous and satisfying. The seafood is fresh and the broth is sweet and delicious. If Chef Vincent hadn't told me that the broth was made from vegetable stock, I would not suspect any difference from the regular prawn noodle broth.
As the stall is new and tucked away in a small hawker centre at Philip Street, business is still slow at the moment. Do go visit them before it starts to get crowded.

Groups and Sections are the backbone of Event management in Eventene. Groups and Sections provide information about People or Places that can be used during the Assign, Send, and Publish steps. Groups and Sections are attached to Activities, but not Events themselves.
No matter whether you are creating a Group or Section, the process consists of the following activities:
- Creating– the app provides several ways to create Groups and Sections:
- Creating from Scratch (typing in entries one at a time)
- Copying an Existing Group or Section
- Uploading data from a text file (in CSV format)
- Pasting from the Clipboard
- Segmenting an Existing Group or Section
- Adding Custom Fields – users can add a variety of custom data Fields (in addition to the defaults) to their Groups and Sections to tailor Eventene for their specific needs.
- Viewing Group or Section Data – users can review individual People and Places, including all the values of each of the Fields. The viewing page also allows the user to sort by any column, control which columns are visible, change the column order, and search on specific entries (by First Name, Last Name or Email).
- Adding and Editing Group or Section Data – during the reviewing process, the user can activate the editing panel below the Group or Section, allowing them to edit individual records.
Groups and Sections

To easily view all your Groups or Sections, simply click the respective button on the left-hand nav bar of your screen fom anywhere within Eventene. The Groups List and Sections List pages serve as summaries with a high-level overview of all Groups and Sections (including Subgroups and Subsections) within the account. The Groups List and Sections List pages also provide access to the tools that you need to view, edit, and manage your Groups and Sections.
The Groups List and Sections List pages display the following information:
- Name – this column includes the names of each of the Groups or Sections.
- Categories - shows tags that you've associated to each Group or Section. If no tags are applied, this column will not appear.
- Last Modified – Indicates the date and time of the last change made to a Group or Section. The default sort is by the most recently modified.
- Main Group / Main Section - for a Subgroup or Subsection, indicates the Main Group or Main Section.
- People / Places – shows the total number of either People or Places.
- Events– shows the total number of Events that include the corresponding Group or Section in at least one Activity.
- Actions – allows the user to perform various actions with the Group or Section including View, Edit, Delete, etc. (See below for more information).
Each row of the table includes an Action menu which contains the following actions.
- View - opens the Group or Section to view its contents.
- Edit - allows the user to edit the Group Name or Section Name.
- Layout - opens the Layout tab, where users can add, remove, and edit Fields and Field Sets for Main Groups and Main Sections.
- People / Places - opens the data table of People or Places for the Group or Section respectively.
- Transfer - users with a Paid Plan can copy their Groups and Sections to any other user who also has a Paid Plan.
- Delete / Review – removes the Group or Section from the user's account. If Events depend upon the Group or Section then you will be directed to review the Event dependencies.
When the user selects multiple Groups or Sections using the checkmark on the left side of the table, additional menu actions appear.
- Combine–allows the user to combine two or more separate Groups or Sections into a new merged data set.
The Groups List and Sections List pages also allow users to search among their created Groups and Sections using the search bar, copy Group or Section information to the clipboard, print a summary of Groups or Sections, or export to CSV.

Actually, it was more like one of those days.
Poor Campbell had his two-month check-up yesterday morning, which took two hours. The good news is that he's thriving - he's in the 90th percentile for weight. Neither of the girls was ever that big, not even Lily. The bad news is that he got four shots. The poor thing just screamed until he wore himself out. He slept for about 3 hours afterwards, tuckered out from the trauma I suppose.
Everything was fine until about 2:00 when he started running a slight fever. I didn't have any baby tylenol on hand, so Lisa brought some over, but it was expired. I decided to risk it out of desperation. He finally settled down and slept in his bouncy seat for an hour, which was good because Lily woke up from her nap in the guest bed in a puddle. I had to clean her up and strip all the sheets off the bed. Molly was over playing for a few hours, and Ella came out of her room at one point to tell me that Molly had had an accident. Time to get another child cleaned up.
Brandon has really made a point in the last two months of being home for dinner and bedtime, but last night he had a client meeting that he had already rescheduled once, so I fed the girls soup and bread and butter for dinner and promised them cartoons if they did a good job eating. I turned on Pink Panther cartoons for them and gave Campbell a warm bath in the hopes of calming him down because he'd been crying for much of the past hour. Not even carrying him in the baby bjorn had helped. He loved the bath and was content to sleep on my chest for about an hour. But then I had to get the girls ready for bed, and he woke up and started crying again.
I managed to get the girls in bed and settled Campbell down successfully, so I worked for about an hour until the baby woke up again - crying. I spent much of the next two hours trying to calm him down. I finally took his temperature, and it was 101. All of the baby books say to call the doctor immediately if an infant's temperature goes over 100.4, so I called the on-call pediatrician. She said that since he was an otherwise healthy baby and had just had his shots, she was pretty sure the fever was just a reaction to them. She gave me a list of things to watch for, and if any of them happened I was to take him straight to Children's Hospital.
Campbell finally fell asleep in our bed, so I went to check on the girls. As I walked to the front of the house, I noticed the smell of poop. I looked at the dog, who looked at me as if to say, "I didn't do it. Don't blame me." Turns out Lily had pooped in her sleep, which she hasn't done in years. Let's just say the clean-up was disgusting and leave it at that.
At this point I called Brandon, whose phone wasn't working right - it kept kicking straight into voicemail. Campbell woke up crying, and I joined right in.
I told my mother that the evening's events rivaled the night that Lily threw up on Ella who had just had an accident. I can laugh about that one now, but it's too soon to laugh about this new episode. Give me a year or so.
The good news is that Campbell's fever is down, and he's sleeping happily in the middle of our bed. The girls are actually playing well together with a minimum of screaming. The only bad thing is that Brandon has to work all day. It's going to be a long one.

This text is dedicated to a man called Bernard LaPallo who is an inspiring person. He gained fame because he lived for 114 years! He had a life which was healthy and happy. This amazing person was born in Victoria, Brazil in 1901. His family migrated to the USA when he was very little. He was always so thirsty of knowledge and during his whole life he managed to have even 4 careers!
He got his first job in the 1920's and worked as a chef in a 5-star restaurant. He also had a successful massage practice that he ran for more than 20 years and when he was 71, he obtained his license which led him to becoming a famous lecturer and an author. He has a degree in podiatry and reflexology from the New York University which he got when he became 73! He was even included in a study of herbology in the American Botanical Pharmacy alongside Dr. Richard Schulze. Bernard was a real fan of the Yankees and he appeared at the stadium frequently.
Which 5 Foods We Need To Eat In Order To Live A Longer And A More Fulfilling Life?
Bernard lived healthy every day and claimed that it is extremely healthy to have a clean colon and liver. His regimen was very strict, so he ate the same things daily. These were the 5 foods he claimed were the ones which made him live a longer life: olive oil, cinnamon, chocolate, honey and garlic. Chocolate, honey and cinnamon are all packed with amazing antioxidant properties which improve our complete health. Garlic is very low in calories, but abundant in nutrients and is known to help us against heart problems and high blood pressure. Olive oil contains healthy fats which improve our heart and brain health.
These Are Some Other Tips For Having A Healthier Life As Well As Which Foods We Need To Avoid
Bernard also avoided several foods which are known to be quite unhealthy. They include French fries, red meats, hot dog etc. Processed meat is known to be able to increase the risk of several types of cancer. The fries we all love to eat are abundant in salt, calories and fat, so consuming them every day isn't quite the best idea.
According to LaPallo, we need to eat a lot of whole grains, organic vegetables and fruits, salads and soups. Also important is a regular exercise of the body, but also of the mind with the help of reading, crossword puzzles, walking every morning etc. It all contributes to helping us age gracefully and having a more fulfilled life.
This man claims that food was actually the main thing which helped him living a healthy life.
Here Are The Foods He Ate Every Day Which Are The Key To Living Longer:
- Garlic
This vegetable is abundant in nutrients. It is especially helpful against serious heart problems, but it also decreases our high blood pressure.
- Chocolate
It is known that chocolate can calm our nerves, reduce stress and relax our muscles.
- Honey
The best natural food contains a great amount of antioxidants which are amazing against high blood pressure.
- Cinnamon
One of the best spices is abundant in antioxidants which improve our complete health and is also very, very delicious.
- Olive Oil
One of the best oils in the world is full of healthy fats which help us have a healthy heart as well as a healthy brain.

It is my first post for awhile! I thought I would do a Very Long Post, to celebrate, but I quickly thought better of it. Mostly because it is hard to find something which I want to discuss today, and, even harder, to find something long enough for a long post. So, it is with the joy of labour cut short that I turn, today, to a little poem – perhaps, even, a 'diamond' of four lines? This poem is by Hillaire Belloc; I quite like him, but people seem to leave him out nowadays. He accomplished many things in his writing: essays, travel writing, theology, history, novels, politics, and several other such subjects. Belloc is, I believe, most famous for his Cautionary Tales, which I'm sure the Dear Reader has read; y'know, Matilda, Who Told Lies and Was Burnt to Death, or Algernon, Who Played With A Loaded Gun, And, On Missing His Sister, Was Reprimanded By His Father. All quite amusing children's verse, which Caution the Child not to do such silly things. They are great fun.
But, today, I write not of child's verse, though that is always fun. Today, I write of The Diamond!
This diamond, Juliet, will adorn
Ephemeral beauties yet unborn.
While my strong verse, for ever new,
Shall still adorn immortal you.
That's the whole poem (hence my cheating post). I love it, despite its enviable brevity. The opening line, short and simple, introduces us to the poem, and the second reminds us that this life will pass. Unborn and ephemeral beauties shall wear the diamond, as it is passed on, sold, pawned off, and other such things. But yet, these four lines will make eternal Juliet! I enjoy the way it offsets, the first two lines brining the poem into focus: in the couplet, we know the poem is dedicated to this 'Juliet,' we gather the poet feels for her, and knows it all must pass and end. Rejoined by the last two lines, it brings the whole poem right into focus – this poem, in its own bold statement, shall make eternal Juliet, and, though it never describes nor praises her, it adorns her. The reader feels akin; understands, imagines a beautiful woman, and the poet loving her. All in four lines, which is rather impressive.
As this shall be a Short Post, I draw to a close. My final comment is that this poem manages to capture so much in four lines. It gains the essence of Spenser's Amoretti 70, all in four lines. That is an impressive work; and I envy Belloc's skill. Short poems are some of my favourite, and this one places itself firmly near the top of my favourite short poems.

Everyday, I work out, I stretch, jumping jacks and sprint! But did you know, I also have a workout for my motivation? This leads to results and productivity!
As trainer to CEO's, Presidents, Corporate and Organization Leaders, I have learned how to make myself more efficient at work. Let me share with you some tips that will help you become more productive at work, whether you run a business or work with a business.
Learn the 2-Step Motivational Work Out
Yes, its not just the body we work out but also our motivation! Here at Speech Coach there are 2 things I do to work out my motivation, this is a sure fire way to keep you motivated at work. Here are the 2 steps:
End the Day with Victory!
One of the best practices I have taught leaders and my own company is ending with victory. Pushing one more time before they leave work. This has so many benefits. I remember a time here at my company, Speech Coach, we were about to end work at a Saturday afternoon, everyone was so lazy already and excited to go home, and I suddenly remembered this philosophy in productivity, I immediately shouted at my team that we should not end this day lazily but with VICTORY! "Push one more sale!" I shouted. Then, we all stood up and started calling one more person to enroll, and you know what the client was so happy we called her and she wanted us to meet her at her house to pick up payment! Oh boy was that fun! You see, no matter what happens in your day, if you end it with victory, you're setting up your mind to think victory. You maybe lucky like us to get one more sale but the psychology we have the following morning was more amazing. It built momentum for us! So remember, end with victory!
Read a book related to your work at some point during your shift.
Remember, the best way to bring results is not to just focus on your strategies at your job but to work on yourself. So, if you want to have more results you better train yourself. Read a book! If my team is missing out on their targets, I tell them to train and learn something about their work. They either listen to audio books or get a book related to their work. Try it! I guarantee more results at you job! Most of my CEO clients do this practice. In my case, because I am a top coach and trainer, I make sure that I study a lot of hours a day to keep myself in shape! So, when I talk to my clients I'm always super sharp! Let me repeat it, try it! This advice may just be worth millions to those who listen!
Always review your RESULTS.
NO matter what you do at work, the one thing that will matter will be your results. One of the best ways to be more productive at work is to review your results and how near or far you are from it. This type of practice for me is so motivational. If you have high Emotional Intelligence, you'll always be challenged when you see this. If you're far from it then you'll know to push more and if you are near you want to close it out soon! Both motivational!
Do I need to explain this more? Maybe I do. One of my favorite practices is to pray before work, during work and after work. Just have that type of relationship with God. It keeps me balanced and feel more brave at work, especially when I have challenges! Today, was one of those days that I wanted to just rest but I remembered to pray. I told myself in my prayer that I mainly do my work for Him. That just energized me to finish this blog. So I guess this blog is a reflection of what I have just said to you here. Interesting aint it? Passion in action, walking my talk I guess. It's already 930 in the evening.
In short, no matter what you do you want to be productive and get results and I hope that this article helps you a lot! Please share this post.

Though you might have other things on your mind, I thought I'd post another DVD update. Through their new deal with MPI, IFC Films announced their second round of DVD releases after that Blockbuster/Genius drought. Unfortunately, all of their titles so far have been part of their Festival Direct package and not their theatrical releases (The Last Mistress, The Duchess of Langeais, A Christmas Tale, Hunger, Gomorrah, My Winnipeg, etc). On 15 September, look for Spiros Stathoulopoulos' single-take thriller PVC-1 and Baltasar Kormákur's White Night Wedding [Brúðguminn], which stars the Icelandic director's frequent actor Hilmir Snær Guðnason. On 29 September, Madonna's wretched directorial debut Filth and Wisdom and the Spanish thriller Fermat's Room [La habitación de Fermat] will be released.
Icarus Films has set a release date for Chantal Akerman's acclaimed, little seen From the East [D'Est] for 6 October, as well as David Barison and Daniel Ross' documentary The Ister for 3 November. Kino will release a double-feature of sci-fi/horror films from director Graham Reznick, I Can See You and The Viewer, on 28 September.
Cinema Guild will follow Project X's July release of Christian Petzold's The State I Am In [Die Innere Sicherheit] with his latest Jerichow on 27 August. And finally, it appears as if the elusive Phantasm II will make its way onto DVD on 15 September (though I can't back this up) from Universal. I know you've been waiting.

Bunched One...Has Your website been revamped? It likes as though it has to me. You have some interesting stuff posted, but it's after midnight and I have early classes tomorrow. My quick opinion:
Has a more appealing look now...but seems, perhaps, a little less user friendly?!? Will try to come back very soon and spend a lot more time looking around!

A winter wonderland in Wisconsin!
Around 5pm last night, my district canceled classes for today. We were one of the last districts in the area – heck, even Madison Public Schools had canceled. I was pretty certain we would be having a snow day, so like most other teachers (and hopefully students), I brought lots of work home to do. There was no way I wasn't going to take advantage of a day off to not chip away at the mounds of grading I have. (A few too many negatives in that sentence.)
I slept in a little (by only thirty minutes) and had a nice relaxing breakfast of toast with sunflower seed butter on one piece and cream cheese and strawberry jelly on the other. Because Brody's been sick, we have orange juice, which I love, so I had a glass of that as well. Coffee would've rounded out my first meal of the day perfectly, but I accidentally left the grounds in the coffee maker from last week (oops) and some mold was growing. Gross, I know. After a few runs with vinegar and water, it'll be good to go for tomorrow.
Although Brody's work was canceled, he still drove in for a few hours of work. To be as productive as possible while he was gone, I made myself a "to do" list to stay focused.
I first graded literary analysis essays, ones that students turned in over a month ago. It felt SO good to get those done.
Taking a break from school work, I put on holiday music and wrapped some presents for Brody, my sister, and my mom. Our tree looks so much better with presents under it.
Lunch was decent: chicken noodle soup from Copps (Brody bought it but didn't like the strong oregano flavor), a few Triscuits, an orange, and three dark chocolate covered marshmallows.
Have you tried these? They are fantastic. Since becoming pregnant, my sweet tooth has been a little off. While I still crave sugar, anything too rich does not taste good. At a holiday party last week, I took a chocolate truffle and could only eat half of it. That is crazy talk coming from me.
The power of the "to do" list worked its magic early this afternoon and forced me to read four chapters of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Did you have to read this in high school? This is my first year teaching it at my current school, and I am actually enjoying it (both the book and the teaching). I read it in high school but don't remember being blown away like I was with East of Eden. While I don't think many students are enjoying and liking this classic, I think they can appreciate it. Maybe they won't totally get its importance until we finish the whole book.
Has my snow day been all work and no play? No sir-ree (is that how you spell that?). I cleaned out a few drawers in the future baby's room closet, I showered, and I am writing this now. Wow – that makes me seem pretty lame. Brody and I are actually about to watch Midnight in Paris, which I LOVE, and maybe I'll take a nap later on. See? I am fun…and lazy, like Moose.
Happy Thursday!
Did you have snow days as a kid? What did you do on your day off?
Are you a "to do" list maker?
What was the best book you read in high school?

The Seattle Seahawks travel to the Philadelphia Eagles in one of several mouth-watering matchups as we head into Week 12 of the NFL season.
Both sides are looking to make a push for the playoffs and Sunday's meeting at Lincoln Financial Field could prove pivotal.
Elsewhere across a jam-packed schedule, reigning Super Bowl champions the New England Patriots welcome the Dallas Cowboys, while the San Francisco 49ers and the Green Bay Packers also go toe-to-toe in a heavyweight clash.
It all kicks off with the Indianapolis Colts at the Houston Texans in a Thursday showdown that is sure to whet the appetite as the division lead is on the line.
We take a look at the Week 12 schedule using Stats Perform data.
THURSDAY (all times Eastern)
Colts (6-4) at Texans (6-4) 8:20pm
- The Colts defeated the Texans 30-23 in Indianapolis in Week 7, their fourth win in their last five games against Houston.
- DeAndre Hopkins has made seven or more receptions in his last six games, tied with two Andre Johnson streaks (in 2006 and 2012-13) for the longest in Texans history.
- The Texans fell 41-7 to the Ravens in Baltimore last week – the fourth biggest loss in franchise history. Houston have not lost back-to-back regular-season games since the start of 2018.
Giants (2-8) at Bears (4-6) 1pm
- The Giants will be making their first appearance at Soldier Field since a 27-21 loss to the Bears in 2013.
- Chicago are allowing 16.4 points per game at home this season, the third lowest tally in the NFL behind New England (11.0) and Minnesota (15.6)
- The Giants have lost six consecutive games, the franchise's longest skid since a seven-game slide in 2014.
Panthers (5-5) at Saints (8-2) 1pm
- The Saints had won four straight games in the series, including a 2017 Wild Card Game, before dropping a Week 17 game last December in which New Orleans rested their key players.
- Christian McCaffrey has accounted for 45.5 per cent of the Panthers' total net yards in 2019 – easily the highest such percentage in the NFL.
- Michael Thomas needs six receptions to secure a third consecutive season with 100 or more catches. The Saints star would become the eighth player all-time to reach triple figures in three consecutive years.
Broncos (3-7) at Bills (7-3) 1pm
- The Bills have won three of the last four meetings with the Broncos, including a 26-16 triumph in New York in Week 3 of 2017, which was head coach Sean McDermott's third game at the helm of Buffalo.
- Denver have led in the fourth quarter in seven of their 10 games but have held on to win just three of them.
- The Bills are 7-3 (or better) for the first time since 1999 (also 7-3).
Steelers (5-5) at Bengals (0-10) 1pm
- The Steelers have won nine straight against the Bengals, including an 18-16 victory in the 2015 Wild Card round.
- Pittsburgh lost at Cleveland last week, 21-7, putting up fewer than 300 yards of total offense for the seventh time this season.
- Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd caught one pass for zero yards last week, the first time in his career he has been held without at least one receiving yard.
Dolphins (2-8) at Browns (4-6) 1pm
- The Dolphins and Browns will be meeting for the first time since 2016, a 30-24 Miami home win in overtime.
- Cleveland will be vying to win three straight home games for the first time since 2014 after defeating the Bills and the Steelers at FirstEnergy Stadium in the past two weeks.
- The Dolphins rank last in the NFL with 603 rushing yards, the second lowest total by any team through 10 games in a season during the Super Bowl era (1991 Colts, 591).
Buccaneers (3-7) at Falcons (3-7) 1pm
- Atlanta have swept the season series with Tampa Bay in each of the past two years and are seeking a sixth consecutive victory over the Buccaneers, which would match their longest winning streak against a divisional opponent since 2000-02 (Panthers).
- Atlanta have produced 80.1 per cent of their total net yards via the pass, the highest percentage in the NFL this season, while Tampa Bay have allowed a league-high 78.1 per cent of their total yards through the air.
- Jameis Winston has thrown three or more touchdown passes and recorded a passer rating of 110.0 or better in five straight meetings with the Falcons, the only quarterback to do so against one team in the Super Bowl era.
Lions (3-6-1) at Redskins (1-9) 1pm
- The Lions have won four straight games against Washington, dating back to the 2009 season.
- The Lions fell to the Cowboys, 35-27, in Detroit in Week 11, their third straight loss and sixth loss in their last seven games.
- Washington fell to the Jets 34-17 at home in Week 11, the team's ninth straight home loss. This is tied for the second-longest home losing streak in franchise history and one shy of the longest such streak, which bridged the 1960 and 1961 seasons.
Raiders (6-4) at Jets (3-7) 1pm
- The Raiders have lost their last five road games against the Jets, last beating them in the Meadowlands in 1996.

Seahawks (8-2) at Eagles (5-5) 1pm
- Seattle have played consecutive overtime games for the second time in franchise history (Week 12-13 of 1990).
- Over the last two seasons, Philadelphia have a 9-11 record from Weeks 1-11, ranking 19th in the NFL.
- Carson Wentz has 86 touchdown passes in 50 career starts for Philadelphia, the most in franchise history.
Jaguars (4-6) at Titans (5-5) 4:05pm

Fish Factor: A look back at the best and worst fish stories of the year
2016 marks a quarter of a century for this weekly column that targets Alaska's seafood industry.
At the end of every year, I proffer my 'no holds barred' look back at the best and worst fish stories, and select the biggest story of the year.
The list is in no particular order and I'm sure to be missing a few, but here are the Fishing Picks and Pans for 2015:
• Most eco-friendly fish feat: The massive airlift/barge project led by the Dept. of Environmental Conservation that removed more than 800,000 pounds of marine debris from remote Alaska beaches.
• Best new fish service: 'P...

Do you find that a gap sometimes appears at the end of a project before the Christmas holiday begins? I have devised a couple of fun and productive seasonal art lessons for just that moment…
I've design each activity to last just one lesson, but you could extend both if you have a bit more time…
Group Christmas tree design
Students learn initially about the Tate Gallery Christmas Tree commission and analyse the trees designed by different artists. These include Bob and Roberta Smith, Michael Landy and Shirazeh Houshiary. Next they work in groups to come up with their own ideas. And finally they create maquettes of their ideas for a class vote on which should be commissioned.
This unusual lessons is a great way to learn about some contemporary artists. Students also debate issues around consumerism and consider what makes a meaningful artwork.
You can download the lesson powerpoint by clicking the above image. Or get the resources from my TpT store.
Warhol Bauble worksheet
This fun seasonal art lesson works well as cover or substitute lesson as you need minimal materials or specialist knowledge. Inspired by Andy Warhol's Christmas bauble illustrations, students create their own 3d paper baubles. It's a great way to learn about the artist and makes a fun, engaging and relaxing end of term lesson.
To download the lesson worksheet, either click the image above, or visit my TpT store.
Corita Kent Christmas Tree
And here's another Pop Art inspired seasonal lesson. Corita Kent Christmas Trees! This one takes inspiration from her text work 'Art Department Rules' for a fun practical lesson with minimal materials needed.
Corita Kent is a lesser known Pop Artist who was a teacher and a nun. Her work is inspiring and hopeful, and definitely worth introducing to students. You can download the four-page worksheet by clicking on the image below.
This Corita Kent worksheet is also available in my TPT store.
You can check out another fun seasonal art lesson here. My STEAM lesson is focused on paper cutting to create six-sided stars. And there is a lesson on repeat-printing wrapping paper with a link to maths too.
And this seasonal round-up of artists inspired by snow, carol singers and trees on Art Uk is sure to inspire some Christmas spirit.

There are many things that I cannot do while I am recovering from surgery. But I am resolved to do all the good that I can while I am laid up. I've been blessed with the opportunity to engage in some concentrated study; Here are some of the books I've been reading.
Blessed: A History of the Prosperity Gospel, by Kate Bowler, is an academic history of the Word of Faith movement. Dr. Bowler is a professor of church history at Duke Divinity School. This is an important book that I'll write a separate post on. I say that it's important, because Texas and Oklahoma are the centers of the prosperity gospel. What this means for us is that many of our neighbors have been taken in by this aberrant teaching. As I will point out in the future, this should not make those of us who are Evangelical and Reformed feel superior. On the contrary, we need to be patient and compassionate with those who have experienced t his faith tradition, and who have felt betrayed by its false promises.
The Man of God: His Calling and Godly Life, by Albert N. Martin. As a pastor, it's always good to reexamine your call and your fitness for it in terms of 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1. Having pastored a single congregation for forty-six years, Pastor Martin is a master of pastoral theology. Any minister or interested church member would profit by reading this book. This is the first of four projected volumes of pastoral theology. It's wonderful to be able to "listen in" on the wisdom of such a godly servant of the Lord.
Living by Revealed Truth: The Life and Pastoral Theology of Charles H. Spurgeon, by Tom Nettles. This is perhaps the definitive biography on Spurgeon. It's refreshing to read a biography of a man whose holiness matched his immense gifting and effectiveness in ministry.
Job. I'm continuing to work ahead on sermons from the Book of Job. I had anticipated being able to preach through the book in about ten or so sermons. In doing so, I had forgotten the counsel of Dr. Hughes Oliphant Old, who was the pre-eminent scholar of the Reformed faith in the twentieth century. He said, "every time you preach through a book of the Bible, it will take you longer because you find more depth." However, I do not plan to preach 157 sermons on Job, as Calvin did, or 576, as Joseph Caryl did. I'm working through Matthew Henry's commentary and Derek Thomas' doctoral dissertation: Calvin's Teaching On Job: Proclaiming the Incomprehensible God. I feel like I'm trying to bail out the Atlantic Ocean with a coffee cup. But it's good to read over your head, and some of it will stick.
Some Pastors and Teachers: Reflecting a Biblical Vision of What Every Minister is Called to Be, by Sinclair Ferguson. Dr. Ferguson has spent a lifetime in the pastorate. In this book, he writes on lessons learned from John Calvin, John Owen, and John Murray.
Latin. Having taught Latin for ten years, I may be functional but have a long way to go. I'm pushing myself to stay sharp and improve.
I've watched two movies in the last couple of weeks that have directed my reading and thinking. I Am Not Your Negro, directed by Raoul Peck, is based on James Baldwin's unfinished work, Remember This House. Narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, this documentary narrates the history of racism in the United States through Baldwin's accounts of his interactions with Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This was a compelling movie and one that caused me to examine my own beliefs and prejudices about racism and the development of African-American culture in the United States.
The other movie was Paris After Midnight, a Woody Allen romantic comedy that is set in Paris. Owen Wilson plays Gil Pender, a writer who is working on a novel. His materialistic fiancee, Inez, ridicules this project and wants him to stick to screenwriting. This conflict becomes more pronounced during the film while Pender considers moving to Paris. While on his way home from a night of drinking and dancing, Pender gets lost and a vehicle picks him up and takes him back to the Jazz Age. Each night at midnight, he is able to revisit the Paris of the twenties, meeting F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso, Gertrude Stein, and other luminaries from this period. Through traveling back in time, Pended gains the courage to finish his novel and to break off the relationship with his fiancee.
At first glance, it appears that these films have little in common. What stands out to me about both is the question of the "thickness" of one's tradition. One of the questions that I asked after watching I Am Not Your Negro was, "is the American tradition of social justice "thick" enough to bring about a better future for African Americans? Can Americans overcome race-based slavery, Jim Crow laws, and mass incarceration to create a more just society for African Americans? Are there people who will express the way forward for justice whom both African Americans and whites will listen to?
Allen's film also implies a question concerning the thickness of tradition. Gil Pender was not able to find enough thickness in the tradition of his own day to produce serious art. Where do we find the resources to produce serious art? Such resources are not going to be found on Google, in popular music, or Direct TV. There's a sense in which we must recover resources from our past and give a fresh voice to them.
One of the things that I've been able to do since the accident is read. I have a stack of books that I'm making progress through. Another stack is gathering dust. Still, another stack is no longer a stack. These books have made their way back to the shelves, but have not yet been properly shelved, giving faint hope that I will get to them.
Currently Reading:
Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow. This is the biography that inspired the Broadway musical. It's been on the list ever since I heard about the musical and showed clips to my US History class this past year. Great Read!
Revival and Revivalism by Iain Murray. A look at the development of revivals and evangelical Christianity in the United States and Great Britain before the American Civil War.
Homeric Moments by Eva Brann. Reflections of teaching Homer for over fifty years at St. John's College. This is a good read but a challenging book, and worthwhile to build a stronger foundation in my thinking about and teaching of Homer.
Serving With Calvin by Terry L. Johnson. A guide to the fundamental principles of public ministry and the calling of the pastor. While much of this is material is content I've picked up and absorbed over the years, I sure do wish this book was around when I was a young minister! It's a judicious condensation of the work of the pastor that has spurred me on in prayer and preparing for the ministry of the Word.
Listening to on Audible:
Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters At The End by Atul Gawande. Thought provoking book on aging and how the West cares for an aging population. Gawande convincingly shows us how the medical model of caring for elderly people often ignores their desires and robs them of the agency that those of us who are able to live independently take for granted, and profiles residences where elderly people are able to exercise greater liberty and agency in their making, and how this adds years to their lives and life to their years.
On the shelf/nightstand:
The Didascalion of Hugo of St. Victor. A medieval treatise reading, education, and the seven liberal arts. It's a little challenging to get through with the discomfort I'm feeling so I've put it aside for now.
Eisenhower by Stephen Ambrose. I've always thought that Eisenhower is one of the most underrated and interesting Presidents. I want to get into this one, but it will probably wait until after Hamilton.
How To Read A Sentence and How To Write One by Stanley Fish. I try to keep a writing book going all the time. Right now, the plot of this one fails to grip, but I really haven't given it much of a chance.
The Power Broker: Robert Caro and The Fall of New York by Robert Moses. I'm about 8o percent through. An interesting and must-read for anyone who is at all interested in the history of "the city that never sleeps." At 1200 pages, it's too dang heavy to pick up now!
A Secular Age by Charles Taylor. Yes, it's taken me about a year and a half to get through this massive tome. I still have a little bit to go but I should finish it this week. Philosophically, I feel like it's the story of my generation. There's so much in this book that I could write about, and at least as much that is over my head, and that's not even mentioning the untranslated French paragraphs! Taylor's case is fairly complicated. While the title implies growth in secularity over time in the West (which Taylor affirms), the two most useful concepts for me were the concepts of "disenchantment" and the reasonableness of the secular paradigm even for the religious.
The idea of disenchantment is that for persons living in the West in the Modern Age, it's difficult to believe in the supernatural and ascribe explanations of phenomena to the supernatural, even for religious people. For example, Medievals would likely ascribe pathological evil to supernatural activity such as demon possession, while Moderns would look to explanations rooted in nurture and environment. The "secular age" is one that is denuded of the supernatural.
This is one of the reasons why I found it so hard to teach Medieval literature such as Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur. For Malory, everything is supernatural. The idea of not believing in the supernatural or ascribing cause and effect to the ineffable is as unthinkable is not breathing. Characters that readers consider both good and evil possess this worldview. In contrast, the modern reader, even if religious, sees the secular paradigm as a conceivable option, and may often see the rationalistic option as more viable than that which is rooted in the Divine.
In this respect, A Secular Age helped me to understand my own story and my own perception of the world. It's a valuable work in this respect, and one I'm glad that I plowed through.
While I've been convalescing and taking care of my wife after our recent car accident, I've set off on a torrid pace in reading. The following are some snippets from some of the texts that I've engaged with over the past week. Below is my account of Sunday's readings.
The Epistle to the Hebrews (ESV Translation). I wasn't able to go to church so I decided to attempt to read large portions of Bible books during my time on the disabled list. I do have regular Bible reading plan, but Hebrews is my favorite book. I derived much encouragement from this letter to a church of Jewish background that was tempted to return to Judaism while suffering severe persecution. The writer is sympathetic to the plight of this church. His love for this church and his pastoral encouragement comes through loud and clear, and doesn't keep him from giving his readers a "talking-to" where needed.
Revival and Revivalism by Iain Murray. This book has stared at me for several years from my seat in the family room for several years. I expected a hagiographic treatment of the leaders of the First Great Awakening in America. Luminaries such as George Whitefield, Jonathan Edwards, and Samuel Davies were men of God whose preaching was blessed by the Holy Spirit in the conversion of those outside of Christ and the strengthening of the Church from within. After reading the first hundred pages, I'm encouraged to see that while Murray believes that the Great Awakening was a giant boon to American Christianity, there were unsalutary developments as well, and his view of the Revival is more nuanced than I expected.
Murray has challenged the view that I've about the Great Awakening for many years. Protestant church historians are largely divided into two camps on whether the Great Awakening was a positive development for American Christianity. On one end are historians such as D. G. Hart and Nathan Hatch, who believe that the Great Awakening was harmful to the development of the development of the American church because the revival preachers operated largely outside of the individual church. Because the church and its catechetical role tended to be bypassed by the revival preachers, the effect was a Christianity in America that was fundamentally individualistic rather than churchly, and harmful to the growth and development of the Church. The tother camp, championed by Iain Murray, believes that the First Great Awakening was beneficial to the American Church, while the confluence of events known as the Second Great Awakening fostered deviance from orthodox Christianity.
For the last fifteen years or so, I've largely held to the second view. However, Murray presents a more nuanced view than I expected. He makes a persuasive case that the reason that the preachers of the Great Awakening often bypassed the institutional Church was not because they held a low estimate of the Church, but that often the Church as an institution (organized gatherings under the rule of elders, pastors, buildings, etc.) was still in an organizational and developmental phase, and thus lacked the capacity for the churchly Christianity that is the norm of the Reformed churches.
I've only reached pate 100, but I'm glad that I took this book off the shelf and I'm really profiting from it.
Serving With Calvin by Terry L. Johnson. Much of this book is a rehash of other writings of Johnson that has been expanded and put into a more polished form. However, Dr. Johnson has been one of the most influential men in the way that I view the ministry of the gospel. I've really profited from his theological vision and his encouragement to combine such vision with the daily and weekly tasks of gospel ministry.
I previously went public with my goal of reading 100 books this year. I'm not quite ready to say that it won't happen. However several factors have intervened. The first is that my sister Cathy is requiring more care from Amy and me. This, combined with teaching, has left me in a state of exhaustion for a sizable portion of the last month. I haven't missed any days of class. But I have had a difficult time keeping up with grading.
The other issue that tends to cast a doubt on the viability of this goal is that I'm reading some behemoths now, the main one being A Secular Age by Charles Taylor. Weighing in at 896 pages, Taylor chronicles how the worldview of the West has experienced revolutionary changes from the Middle Ages up until now. He writes of how the outlook of pre-Enlightenment Europe was profoundly supernaturalistic, a world that was enchanted, in which the Divine broke through, even through inanimate objects (think of the Holy Grail, for example). Taylor makes the case that over time, a number of developments took place across different areas, such as the Enlightenment, the rise of modern politics, "polite society," and perhaps most of all, a change in the perception of the interaction of God in this world. I'm about a third of the way through the book. For me, it's timely, it's educational, it's interesting, and being a work of philosophy, it's stretching me. At this point, I've having to trust the author to take me where he's going.
James K. A. Smith introduced me to this book in his guide to Taylor's work, How Not To Be Secular. It's been long enough that I don't remember too many specifics about Dr. Smith's book, except that it made me want to read Taylor. So, it seems that Dr. Smith achieved his purpose with me.
Another book on the nightstand is Rod Dreher's How Dante Can Save Your Life. Mr. Dreher is a senior editor of The American Conservative, and one of my favorite writers. He went through a crisis in his life similar to my own in many ways, moving back to the town where he grew up after an absence of over twenty years after the death of his sister, and experiencing an adjustment difficult enough to lead to a physical, emotional, and spiritual breakdown. The Lord used Dante's Divine Comedy to lead him out of the dark wood that he experienced midway through his life, with striking parallels to Dante's own experience. It's an enjoyable read, and it has succeeded in motivating me to begin again with the Commedia. I've read Inferno several times before, but have gone no further, so I opened up Purgatorio last night. I've only read through Canto III, but so far, it's surprising how hopeful and optimistic the beginning of Purgatorio is.

In-House Design- Saving you time, money and frustration
As a client-oriented company, we always want to bring more ideas forward on how we can improve our service to you. Designing a new space can be overwhelming. There are many decisions to make, like what countertop you should go with, what paint colours are best and what type of cabinets match the tiles you want.
The options and decisions to be made in any renovation or new build can be endless. And as a construction project management company, we see the stress that clients often take on when they attempt to put their ideas into reality. A good example is a couple we recently worked with that had chosen a beautiful pendant light for their kitchen but then couldn't figure out if the fixture went with the other options they had chosen for their new kitchen. They spent hours mulling over the problem. Suddenly, when we offered our complete design service to holistically look at the entire design process of the room, they were thrilled to see how the process worked and how much stress it took off their minds. Clients often know what they want, they just have trouble articulating it to the trades professionals and that can become a problem for both parties. Ivonny's job is to take their ideas, ensure they are functional as well as aesthetically beautiful, and then pass on to the construction team what needs to be done.
Design, just like construction is often an easy title to throw around and often the thought of an expensive designer immediately turns clients off before they even venture into understanding how different individual designers can be in their processes, tastes and price tags.
At FairTradeWorks, the pricing makes sense to our consumers. For a nominal hourly fee, our clients can see what they are getting for their money including:
- Computer-based drawings – 2D & 3D drawings with dimensions. This ensures that the dimension will be accurate.
- Material proposals — Based on our design team's experience, they will propose materials that will best fit the space & design preferences that suites the client's tastes, without going overboard on the budget.
- Material sourcing — Instead of clients going to different places to look for the materials or asking where they can find the sink they like on Pintrest, our designers take on the burden of sourcing the materials they have chosen.
If you have been thinking about a renovation or new home build and do not know where to start, contact Ivonny today for a free consultation. email@example.com or call us at 604-264-7366.
Ivonny Saputra is the head of the FairTradeWorks Design & Client Care Department. She is an architect by trade but has always had the passion to finish the spaces she creates through design. In her spare time, Ivonny carries her work home, where she loves flipping houses while being a mother to Collin and wife of a construction Project Manager.

Sotheby's Holdings Inc., the world's largest publicly traded auction house, said that it earned $42.5 million in the second quarter, almost tripling the year-earlier income, helped by a recovery in the art auction market.
Sotheby's said the income, which meant a profit of 68 cents a share, was up from $14.2 million, or 23 cents a share, a year earlier. Revenue rose 54 percent, to $169.5 million.
The chief executive, William Ruprecht, said, ''We've seen great vibrancy in our U.S. and international sales rooms.''
The results, released Monday, show how a single expensive painting can buttress profit and sales for an auction house. Picasso's 1905 painting ''Garçon à la Pipe'' sold for $104.2 million in New York to an anonymous buyer on May 5, the first time any painting has broken the $100 million barrier.
Sotheby's, based in New York, earned about $11 million in commissions on the Picasso sale.
Auction commission revenue rose 54 percent, to $149.1 million, in the second quarter. Sotheby's also had a $1.5 million gain in revenue from private sales of art, including the sale of old master drawings to the Louvre in Paris in May, and the sale of Raphael's ''Madonna of the Pinks'' to the National Gallery in London.

The Dumb-Down Train
THERE MUST be 50 ways to dumb down public schools.
Now comes Way No. 51. Last September, a dissatisfied white parent filed a complaint with the federal Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights. The parent claimed that John Swett Unified School District in Crockett didn't have enough minority students in college prep English and math courses. Before there was even an investigation to see if the charge was accurate -- some teachers maintain it was not -- the district cut a deal with the Feds. As part of the package, the district is terminating all its general English courses in the ninth and tenth grade -- which two- thirds of students were taking -- and placing all students, ready or not, into college prep English. There'll be no more general English courses in those grades.
That change may sound like a boost in standards. But beware educrats touting higher standards; Dumbing-down skulks in their Trojan horse.
Teachers in the John Swett High School English Department -- led by chair Jan Taksa -- are furious. They know this change can only hurt students, as they are faced with two ugly choices. Make classes easier so that most students can pass. Or give low grades and Fs to students who would do fine in general English classes.
"With less than half of John Swett's students even capable of spelling 'eligible,' the plan . . . is laughable," senior Gerald M. Diaz wrote in the school paper.
As the teacher of a general English class complained, "Many of my students this year (I would estimate about 30 percent) read at fourth- to fifth-grade level. Many of these same students cannot write complete sentences, cannot decode one-syllable words when they read aloud and cannot spell words like 'fire' and 'bird.' "
This teacher's class had been reading John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" aloud to improve their comprehension skills. Under the new plan, she'd have to gut the read-aloud exercises and force most of her students to do better or fail, or bore college prep kids with reading exercises.
(The district plans to provide non-college prep students with "enabling" classes held in a different period to help them do better in college prep courses. This, however, could saddle these students with two English courses at the same time -- forcing some to dump elective courses they love.)
The angry teacher's answer to the problem? It makes a lot more sense than the district plan: End social promotion in early grades.
The answer is not pretending that all students are college bound and college-prep ready.
Meanwhile, as Swett English teachers have sought to stop this Dumb- Down Train, the district's reaction has been -- what else? -- to punish dissenting teachers.
Just before he retired, Superintendent Bob Hansen wrote to Mark Taksa, Jan's husband and a fellow English teacher, to warn him that the district considered the department's dissent to be "reprehensible and intolerable" -- which means that district wouldn't hesitate to "take immediate appropriate and effective disciplinary action against individual faculty members who persist in this unacceptable behavior." (District officials would not return my calls.)
The Taksas believe this submit or suffer the consequences attitude led the district not to renew the contract of probationary teacher Linda Barry. Teacher Tony Tuttle told a recent school board meeting, Barry is one of those wonderful, dedicated teachers who got through to kids. But when educrats have a mission, teaching isn't about ability, it's about philosophy. They don't care if you can teach, they only care if you agree with them.
Swett English teachers fear that the plan will lower the school's impressive SAT scores. Wouldn't it be nice if the district and Feds changed course instead of proving them right?

Small business owners can incorporate custom packaging into their product design without driving up overhead costs.
In an increasingly competitive marketplace, small businesses need to find ways to truly stand out from the crowd and differentiate themselves from big box competitors. Thankfully, custom packaging makes it easy for companies to establish a consistent, memorable branded experience for customers. Whether you run a brick-and-mortar store or oversee an e-retail operation, effective branding makes it easier for customers to form long-standing relationships with your business.
Worried about the costs associated with developing high-quality custom packaging? We're here to tell you that there are plenty of affordable options at your disposal. With Paper Mart's user-friendly, do-it-yourself design studio, you can customize all of your essential packaging supplies, from boxes and bags to labels and ribbons. Draw inspiration from a few of our favorite branded packaging experiences to create your business's signature look.
1. Creative Custom Labels
A tasteful logo that embodies the aesthetic values of your business can go a long way toward shaping customers' perception of your brand. By including your logo on all of your packaging, you can tell consumers who you are and what you want your brand to be. With a nearly limitless variety of styles, sizes, and colors to choose from, Paper Mart makes it easy to create custom print labels that you and your customers will love.
Etsy seller and Paper Mart customer Donna Crow runs a successful custom cookie business, baking sweet-tooth-satisfying cookies for every occasion. Crow uses custom labels to decorate the outside of her cookie boxes with her brightly colored Crow's Custom Cookies logo. She also uses custom labels on individual cookie packages to list ingredient information.
Clothing retailer Vestige Story uses custom labels and recyclable packaging to bring a handmade and sustainable element to their brand. Each package is customized using recyclable glass bottle packaging and custom labels.
2. Put a Bow on It
In addition to the aesthetic benefits, custom packaging can also lend functional value to your product packaging. Just ask Gail Pierce and Lisa Wood of Wooly Lady, a small business specializing in wool and yarn products. Pierce and Wood use customized ribbons emblazoned with the Wooly Lady name to bundle their yarn and wool items together before sending them off to customers. The result is understated, tasteful, and adds a thoughtful touch to customers' orders.
3. Bold Boxes
Custom printed boxes make your products pop before your customers even open their purchases. Using hot stamp plates, Paper Mart can add your brand's logo to a variety of different box styles and sizes. The hot stamp system also makes for easy, cost-effective reordering when the time comes.
We love seeing custom boxes of all styles. From an elegant and bold single logo to an all-over design – each design tells a story. Take Fandom of the Month Club, they employ a one-of-a-kind design, which takes the brand's central mission and puts it front, center — and all over.
4. Paper or Plastic?
If you're an online retailer, custom bags can be a cute way to help cushion products during transit. They also make for a fun, reusable gift for repeat customers to carry and share your brand's logo with the world! Paper Mart offers a wide selection of customizable bags to choose, from fabric tote bags to twisted handle shopping bags.
We love what Aurora Coffee has done to use their custom bags in service of effective branding. With a bold printed design that can be customized by the barista to indicate what's inside, these bags serve up both function and fashion to coffee-loving customers.
When it comes to packaging, your presentation is everything. Check out our Custom Print Packaging options! We have custom packaging options for bags, boxes, and more. If you loved this roundup of our favorite packaging, stay tuned. We're looking forward to providing more tips for small businesses, product features, and DIY craft videos.

Industrial customers from power plants to steel mills and refineries require extreme performance from their sealant solutions that can operate under demanding conditions. Industry manufacturer Henkel offers its Loctite NS 5540 and NS 5550 for extreme temperatures and pressures. Despite forming a good seal, the company reports that its products still allow for easy disassembly of components during repairs or maintenance.
Both sealants are chemical resistant, tolerating exposure to oils, acids, hydrocarbons,and steam while not being affected by thermal cycling. NS 5540 is a liquid formulation that tolerates temperatures of up to 700C (1,300F) pressures up to 200 bar (2900 psi) while NS 5550 withstands 340 bar (5,000psi) and temperatures of 815C (1,500F) and is formulated as a paste.
Typical industrial applications include turbines and pump casings, boilers, stacks, heat exchangers, exhaust systems, steam traps, and ductwork.

Why is this site named Devils Film? Well, perhaps it has something to do with the truth that the porn here is pretty sinful to say the least. This website includes lots of severe hardcore scenes with a whole lot of selection that's assured to keep you coming back for more. The manufacturers here recognize that by now, routine old hardcore pornography has actually become practically behind the times, so they produce content so devilishly warm that each time you see this site, it'll be an experience that you won't soon neglect.

WWWednesday: BodyWorld
website: http://www.dashshaw.com/
by Dash Shaw
Dash Shaw's BodyWorld is a psychedelic explosion of cyber sequential storytelling the likes of which I've never seen. Many of the webcomics I've read for my WWWednesday installments have been highly entertaining, but until I read BodyWorld, I hadn't realized how one dimensional they were. Some of them are daily or weekly strips like you'd see in the Sunday newspaper, and some of them are episodic installments of an ongoing story arc, the equivalent of pages' worth of material in a comic book. Bodyworld is closest to the latter category, but its three-panels-a-row format is bottomless in its potential, not confined by dimension so much as the plot's natural pacing. Further, Shaw's balance of crisp, organic line work and vibrant, high contrast neon colors exhibit the best that the high definitions of the Internet can allow. Needless to say, it's as addictive as the Internet itself.
Fortunately, addiction is a highly potent theme throughout BodyWorld, if you'll pardon the pun. In BodyWorld, a suicidal, drug-addicted botanist, Professor Panther, visits a high school campus to investigate the discovery of a new plant species, where he crosses paths with Pearl Peach, your typical small town girl with big city dreams, and her boyfriend Billy Borg, the homecoming king and resident Dieball star. Yes, I said "Dieball." Perhaps even more so than his ability to establish a dynamic cast of characters, Shaw has established a complex community and culture around them, going so far as to provide a color-coded map of Boney Borough, and to diagram the town's key recreational export, the aforementioned Dieball. In the three and half chapters of BodyWorld that have been posted, Professor Panther has attempted to kill himself a few times or has otherwise been in some sort of physical danger, all with hilarious if gruesome results, and Pearl and Billy have experienced the plights and sexual anxieties that comes with adolescence. I'm curious to see how these characters' smoldering inadequacies collide to realize the world that Shaw's been building. I'm thinking that I'll be checking out his website every Tuesday for my next BodyWorld fix.
By eliciting this dependence from his readers, has Shaw inadvertently sucked us into his world? Perhaps BodyWorld is only as psychedelic as its reader perceives it . . .
