Myths from Ukraine
Young people who are very good in the trades or in university invariably leave Ukraine for countries in the west. When we review the list of our graduating students to whom we gave financial assistance, we find that journalists, medical doctors, nurses, and teachers have chosen to remain in Ukraine. In fact one of our new doctors who is a recent graduate from our financial aid program, is coming to provide relief help at the Mennonite Centre clinic.
Ukraine isn't serious about cleaning up the environment. Ukraine has been forced to find ways of decreasing its dependence on expensive Russian gas, and its reliance on coal for the production of electricity. Just north of Tokmak, the city has a very large field of solar panels and the mayor informed us that they are going into a major recycling program. In addition, the current 65 windmills near the Sea of Asov will soon be expanded to 150.
Ukrainians don't volunteer for community service as much as other countries. This is definitely not true. Teachers spend a lot of their summer helping to paint, plaster, and get their schools ready for the fall.
In Molochansk, a local businessman organizes Saturday clean-up days where people collect garbage throughout the town. Both Tokmak and Molochansk are a lot cleaner than they used to be. Here are two pictures to show how clean the Willms estate now is.
We recently had a man who received medications after hip surgery volunteer to take people to the sea for summer holidays. During the recent conflicts in the south eastern area, many people collected food, medicines, and clothing for the soldiers. Many people volunteer to help their infirm neighbors with home care, gardening, and shopping. In fact this is a country where everyone knows their neighbors and looks out for them. They practice neighborhood watch.
Some Ukrainians believe that the roads are not really that bad. We believe that this not true; the many car tire repairs, and Lil's back, can vouch for that. Recently we took a trip to Orekhov, a village that in the 1870's had very few but very influential Mennonites. This year they are celebrating the tenure of the first village mayor, a Mr. Johann H. Janzen, who was mayor there for 25 years. At one point the road was so bad that people had made a parallel road with their vehicles on the grass for well over a kilometer. Now you had a so-called four-lane highway. The new section was dusty but smooth. It was a new form of a passing lane.
|Fruit trees in Melitopol
The more we get to know this wonderful country and its people, the more we question our preconceived notions.
On Tuesday, June 13, we will be off to Vienna and finally into BC. Then day will become night, night will become day, and the meaningful time spent here will be well worth the adjustment.

Report says government agencies must act faster to counter ocean acidification
What GAO Found
Ocean acidification could have a variety of potentially significant effects on marine species, ecosystems, and coastal communities, according to six summary reports that GAO reviewed. The reports were developed by federal agencies and others and were based on extensive reviews of the scientific literature. The scientific understanding of these effects, however, is still developing, and uncertainty remains about their scope and severity. Potential effects of ocean acidification include:
- Reducing the ability of some marine species, such as oysters, to form shells or altering their physiology or behavior. These impacts could affect some species' growth and survival.
- Altering marine ecosystems, for example, by disrupting predator and prey relationships in food webs and altering habitats.
- Disrupting the economy or culture of some communities, for example, by harming coastal fishing and tourism industries.
The National Science and Technology Council's Subcommittee on Ocean Science and Technology, in the Executive Office of the President, and several federal agencies have taken steps to implement the Federal Ocean Acidification Research and Monitoring Act of 2009 (FOARAM) but have yet to complete some of the act's requirements. For example, an interagency working group, which includes representatives from 11 agencies and is chaired by the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, has been established. The working group has developed a research and monitoring plan outlining steps to advance the nation's understanding of, and ability to respond to, ocean acidification. However, the agencies involved have yet to implement several FOARAM requirements, including outlining the budget requirements for implementing the research and monitoring plan. Some agency officials told GAO that not providing budget estimates has prevented the agencies and Congress from accurately understanding the funding needed to implement the plan and how it compares with current funding levels.
Further action could be taken to advance the federal response to ocean acidification. GAO's previous work on interagency collaboration has found that a variety of mechanisms can be used to implement efforts involving multiple federal agencies by helping to facilitate collaboration. One possible approach, recommended by the interagency working group, is to establish an independent national ocean acidification program office to coordinate the next steps in the federal response. The working group, however, has not established such an office because it has been unable to reach agreement on how it should be funded. Until greater clarity is provided on the entity responsible for coordinating the next steps in the federal response to ocean acidification, completing important actions, such as implementing the research and monitoring plan, will be difficult.
Why GAO Did This Study
Increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and oceans are resulting in chemical changes referred to as ocean acidification. These changes may pose risks for some marine species and ecosystems, as well as for the coastal communities that rely on them for food and commerce. FOARAM requires various federal entities to take specific actions related to ocean acidification.
GAO was asked to review federal efforts to address ocean acidification. This report discusses (1) the scientific understanding of the effects of ocean acidification; (2) the extent to which federal agencies have implemented FOARAM; and (3) additional actions, if any, that could be taken to advance the federal response to ocean acidification. To address these issues, GAO reviewed six summary reports on ocean acidification, other scientific studies, and agency documents, and interviewed key agency officials.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends the appropriate entities within the Executive Office of the President take steps to improve the federal response to ocean acidification, including estimating the funding that would be needed to implement the research and monitoring plan and designating the entity responsible for coordinating the next steps in the federal response. GAO provided a draft of this report for review and comment to the Executive Office of the President and the departments and agencies reviewed. None of the agencies commented on GAO's recommendations; several provided technical comments that were incorporated, as appropriate.

World Of Witchcraft And Wizardry Created By Russian Artist
Secret Jar is a mysterious workshop run by Russian craftswoman Anna. Come by and you will find an essence of magic inside: here are beautiful jewelry, wooden boxes to keep marvels and whimsical creatures guarding it all.
Anna says that the life in the countryside inspires her most, 'I live quite far from the noisy and dusty city of Moscow, so I can enjoy the beauty of blooming gardens and peace of the forest located nearby. I find the atmosphere very inviting to crafting and art.'
All the brooches and earrings are handmade and created of polymer clay, organic crystals and gemstones. The boxes are decorated with the pyrography technique and seem to be created for witches and warlocks so they could keep ingredients for magic potions — little mandrake roots, herbs and poisonous mushrooms. But what amazes me most is a bunch of fairy spirits. Slavic forest Auka is made of felt and likes kindly mocking at guests. Woolen Icci, keeper of the mountain caves, is very calm and dreamy. And Fly Agaric Boy likes playing with little plush Flowering Bulbs. Come closer and you will see it all with your own eyes!

Hip Hop artist leaves you Wanting More!
When you think of Hip Hop music, the ideology of the Dancehall boom is a natural blend in styles that should come to mind.
Rapping, dancing, talking, chanting, and rhyming lyrics on rhythmic tracks is a natural ingredient on any hip hop album set. The sounds of the old school songs by the likes of Nat King Cole, Jackie Wilson, The Drifters and Fats Domino coupled with modern day Dancehall sessions by the likes of Beenie Man, Movado, Sean Paul, Shaggy and Damian Marley infuse what is Kapital A and most notably, is what is laid down on his latest CD entitled, Why Not: Special Edition.
The full length 20 song album has extreme flair that dramatically grows the art and style combining both formats in its complexity. Rather than raps and shouts, the melody and color are what make up this great set being released this week at Don Lichterman's Sunset Urban label. Kapital A's music ingrains that colorful flair in those melodies in every song all the way through the entire CD which is set underneath the red-hot lyrics.
Kapital A began playing at neighborhood parties and at festivals throughout Ohio and in Jamaica while incorporating and introducing these two huge influences while laying the groundwork for what would become Rap/Hip Hop fusion with a Dancehall style. Today HipHop, coupled with Dancehall music and even what can be described as a Reggaeton style have carried itself across the globe into America and into Jamaica to bring together new fans of both genres. "Hip Hop has gone through many stages of growth with many sub-formats and sub genres which is the not only the beauty of it, it is also the fine line of it" says the head of Sunset (Urban) Don Lichterman. "As an Indy label, releasing Hip Hop music into what is a wide opened field and while garnering the roots of the deep culture from before say it when it became commercialized into the mainstream is key, otherwise we are competing in a field of major recording artists with a ton of money behind its marketing push and as a matter of fact, most of rap and hip hop today is all based on how much money is behind it" explains (Don) Lichterman whose latest hip hop artist is a releasing a CD that has received rave reviews since setting up its release this month (January 2015).
"In reality and in my opinion with regard to the music industry, the early to mid-90's was one of the most creative periods of growth into the mainstream marketplace for hip-hop music," states Don Lichterman, who' was working at MCA (Records) back then while Indy Labels like Interscope and Geffen were breaking HipHop bands in huge ways and "from nothing to something" which is "our (Sunset) business model" today.
"Hip hop music today is basically Pop Music today and we are not competing with it on that level and with what are artists that are on the THREE (3) or FOUR (4) major labels," Don Lichterman expresses himself more about the landscape of the HipHop format and genre today. "And, by adding that so called Jamaican flair and by incorporating what are great lyrics with colorful melodies is a thrill to me rather than working straight up pop Rap and this guy (Kapital A) is underground and Indy, but he is also very melodic with his music which makes it very easy for me to work!"
"The other thing I love is working anything with added value and therefore selling a 20 song CD for say $9.99 a unit is great for the label," Don Lichterman ends the conversation by reiterating the Why Not: Special Edition CD is a bargain with 20 songs on a full length and extended CD set.

I just downloaded the new app on my iPod Touch and just had to send you a quick THANK YOU for a simple, easy to use app. (I will also do a glowing review on the App Store, for sure.) I have a lot of apps, and more and more it seems the user interface is overdone. I used to work in IT, and know first hand how developers can get out of control; just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD! Your app is a refreshing return to the old axiom, "KISS" - Keep It Simple Stupid! I'd like to give you and your development team a big hug and kiss! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!

Bullies BBQ
3 Regency Pkwy
Hilton Head Island, SC 29928
Phone: (843) 686-7427
Bullies BBQ
October 11, 2017
Bullies BBQ is serving up good old South Carolina BBQ in the heart of Hilton Head, SC. Set in a small store front in a shared center this smokey and I mean SMOKEY restaurant is focusing on South Carolina Pulled Pork slow smoked over Mesquite wood for the better part of a day.
I had the Bulldog Two Meat Combo Dinner ($18.99) selecting their renowned Pulled Chicken along with the Beef Brisket. I found the Pulled Chicken to be EXCELLENT. Moist and full of flavor it exceeded my expectations by a large margin. The brisket was fine. Fairly moist with a nice smoke flavor it's just a little different than my preferred Texas style of beef brisket simply rubbed with a Dalmatian rub and cooked in an offset smoker. Rounding out the dinner plate are French Fries, Cole Slaw and Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread. All were perfectly fine but make no mistake; the focus here is on the meats. Particularly the pulled chicken. I basically nibbled at and mostly skipped my sides.
Service is counter service and kitchen service seemed a bit slow so if you're in a hurry don't stop. Attire is casual; shorts and a t-shirt get you in the door. Parking is available in the shared lot in front of the restaurant. Major credit cards are accepted.
NOTE: when approaching the restaurant be on the look out for the Palmetto Dunes Entrance (gas station right there) or you'll turn into the office lot next door in error like I did.
Conclusion: Solid BBQ. Come for the Pulled Chicken.

If you do a Google search on something like "Most Disturbing Films Ever" or "100 Most Brutal Films" or "List of Most Extreme Films" you will inevitably find a list that has the film "Philosophy of A Knife" (2008) as the Number One film. If not number one, it will surely be in the top 20. Russian director Andrey Iskanov made a four-hour epic true story of the Japanese atrocities committed against Chinese citizens in what were the equivalent of Japanese Concentration Camps. His film captured all of the brutality of this, and for this reason "POAK" is considered the most brutal, extreme, violent, and sick film ever made.
Other works of Iskanov include "Gvozdi" ("Nails" in English) (2003), "Visions of Suffering" (2006) and "The Profane Exhibit" (2013).
For the past 6 years, Andrey has been working on his latest epic film, "INGRESSION". Several years ago he unleashed an unfinished version of the film to the world under the title "The Tourist". Despite the fact that Andrey felt it was incomplete, the film played at many European Film Festivals and won awards. It is a brilliant, but incomplete film. Andrey first needs to upgrade the quality by remastering the film, and then he needs to film more scenes to make the film the complete and epic masterpiece it was meant to be.
Unfortunately, Andrey Iskanov is such an uncompromising film-maker that he has difficulty getting financial backing, and currently does not have the funds to finish shooting his masterpiece.
That is why Andrey Iskanov is asking for your help.
This epic masterpiece is going to be the film event of the year and possibly of the century. It is of extreme importance to supporters of underground art and extreme transgressive and surreal film that this film be made right, and that can only happen through your donation, or simply by spreading the word, posting this link on Facebook and twitter, even emailing it to friends. For the sake of art we must stand behind this project and make it happen.
As of last week, February 20, 2014, Andrey's INDIEGOGO campaign has gone LIVE! You can head there right now to contribute. He is not asking for $100,000. Or $50,000. Or even half of that. Andrey simply needs $15,000 to finish the film. He needs to pay the dedicated actors in his films who are forced to undergo extreme and unpleasant experiences. He needs to pay for the film and the processing of the film. Very simple things. The film is already so close to complete.

Hands-on cooking workshop and diet valuation II
In spite of the horrible weather, at 11 am sharp we began with our second hands on cooking of the year 2008.
As every time we have this workshop, we prepare dan activity for the children with the monitors so that we can be relaxed while cooking. On this occasion and due to the bad weather, we took them to the movies to watch Madagascar 2.
Family break Legutiano
We met at 6pm in the association for our last family break trip in Legutiano. We got to about 7,30 pm to the Urkiola Enea house. When we settled, we indicated everybody to their rooms.
We then played billiards, just to have some fun.
Family break Puente Arenas
At 9:30 am we met at the association to go to Puente Arenas fullfiling Marisa's invitation. Since Puente Arenas is very far away, hiring a bus was very expensive so we decided to go by taxi and car to save some Money. We got to Marisa's house at 11:30. We then settled the kids in their bedrooms.
Family break Cabárceno
We met at 6 pm at the association to take the bus that would take us to Cabárceno's shelter. When we got there we settled in our rooms.
Meeting in Torremolinos 2008
As every year, we meet again at the Príncipe Hotel in Torremolinos to celebrate a new PKU young-adult meeting.
Since we had more time this year, we have been able to add new things to the program, like for example the new games we palyed during the week. In this meeting, even though we have followed the plan of previous years, we have had changes like the on e mentioned before, new faces among the group and have enjoyed of the new installations of the hotel (Enormous swimming pools with Jacuzzis…)
Family break Ea
On the weekend of the 6th, 7th and 8th of June of 2008 we went to Ea, a nice coast village in Bizkaia. We spent the weekend in the Andutza country house, where besides some technical issues, we had a great time.
Hands-on cooking workshop and diet valuation
As planned, we started our workshop at 11am. There was not many people (25), but it all went very smoothly.
Residential weekends Plentzia Hostel
During this weekend a group of parents, PKUs and ADs and friends have met at the Plentzia residence for a residential weekend. This is the 7th edition.
For those who have never been there, it is a wonderful place, on a river shore, with a walk that takes us to the beach and with great communications. The residence is not a hotel, but it sure looks as one. The staff is very nice and the food more than adequate.
Family break Gordexola
We met at 5:30pm in the association as usual to fetch the bus that took us to Gordexola. When we got there we settled and explained the coexistance rules. We began the weekend by telling what each had done during easter holidays. When then played some music and danced. This was the way to break the ice, since it was our first trip for 2008.

Hacker's Database
A BOOK! I am proud to present the publication of a new book, written by the founder/developer of leetupload.com. The book, as seen below, is entitled "No Root for You: A Series of Tutorials, Rants and Raves, and Other Random Nuances Therein. It is about network auditing, a step by step tutorial guide explaining how one would go about auditing, securing, and learning why certain exploits work, etc. Purchase your copy now, by clicking HERE.To read more (view table of contents and the like) click here.
| About the Book
Gordon Johnson:
| As I have noticed over the years, spoon-fed information on anything that involves network auditing, or anything of the sort, has been rather scarce. It is for this reason that my book has spawned in its current form. The idea is to prove that such tasks may be explained in an articulate manner, while still maintaining a proper rapport with the individual. People tend to speak in lofty tongue when they have a superiority complex; I eliminate this completely by drawing back the verbal curtain and cutting straight to the point. This is done by speaking in layman's terms, while still maintaining proper terminology when absolutely necessary, and utilizing metaphors to express the idea in a more
descriptive form. As you may have guessed, this is a network auditor's quick-reference bible. Not only does it contain step-by-step, illustrated tutorials, but an explanation in regards to why each exploitation, or what have you, works, and how to defend against such attacks. Be prepared, one might also discover a few "rants and raves," as well as other random nuances.
|About the Author
| Gordon L. Johnson is currently a junior at Indiana University in Bloomington, and is 20 years of age. His major is Informatics, with minors in computer science and cyber security. He has written for Hakin9 I.T. Magazine entitled Remote and Local File Inclusion Explained, which may be found in this book. He has experience in the I.T. field, as well as a consulting computer technician. As an aspiring network auditor, he has many computer related interests as well.

Shelby Coffman and Christie Frazier found themselves at a crossroads six years ago after getting locked out of the aging commercial kitchen they were renting for their rookie catering business.
The owner of the Laguna Beach kitchen had skipped town, leaving them stranded and without keys to the facility. With 250 meals to prepare for dozens of Newport Beach families, the women raced to Coffman's home to finish the job.
Her kitchen wasn't permitted by the health department. But they felt they had no choice.
"We were feeding families for dinner. We couldn't call them up and say, 'Sorry, tonight it's McDonald's,'" Frazier said.
That night, after the meals were delivered, a tired Coffman said: "That's the end of that business."
But the spirited ladies cooked up a new venture: The Hood Kitchen Space and Market.
The Hood would be everything they couldn't find in Orange County: a clean, affordable and responsibly-run commercial kitchen.
In December 2012, they opened the pay-by-the hour food-making hub featuring six kitchens, state-of-the-art appliances and a studio for cooking demonstrations and private dining events.
In less than three years, The Hood, tucked in an industrial zone of Costa Mesa, has become a haven for dozens of local food artisans who use the space to launch offerings that range from honey to chocolates to pickled carrots. County officials also say The Hood has likely reduced rogue food producers by providing them a legal and cost-effective space where they can make their foods.
"It's truly an incubator space," said Amy Jo Pedone, who launched Valenza Chocolatier at The Hood two years ago.
Coffman and Frazier tapped into surging consumer demand for locally grown and produced foods. In 2014, local foods generated almost $12 billion in sales nationwide, up from $8.6 billion in 2011, according to a January report by market research firm Packaged Facts.
Strangers to instructors
A chance encounter at Williams-Sonoma brought Coffman and Frazier together in 2004.
Seated next to each other in a Spanish-themed cooking class at the specialty home-goods store, they struck up a conversation and discovered they had similar lifestyles. Both were stay-at-home moms raising three children in The Port Streets neighborhood in Newport Beach.
But one topic kept them chatting all night long – food.
"We immediately connected, and we could not stop talking about food," said Coffman, who had attended culinary school while living in San Francisco.
In their circle of friends, Coffman and Frazier didn't have anyone who shared their same passion for cooking. In fact, most moms would tell them they were intimidated by cooking or didn't have time to crack open a cook book.
"They felt like cooking was overwhelming," Coffman, 46, said.
A few months after meeting, they decided to teach cooking classes. It was new ground. Their lives, up until that point, consisted of chauffeuring their six children to sporting events and cooking for pleasure at home. But they were gung-ho about sharing their passion for cooking.
They flew to San Francisco to take a week-long course on cooking instruction at Tante Marie's Kitchen, the same culinary school that Coffman attended.
In 2005, they founded Tapenade School for Cooking in Coffman's 400-square-foot kitchen. They taught groups of 12 to 15 people. Topics ranged from easy-to-make wholesome family meals to cooking for large parties. The hands-on classes cost about $80 a person.
"We tried to simplify the cooking process," Coffman said.
'Creepy places'
Tapenade went strong for three years, selling out classes as word spread through the Newport Beach grapevine. But wear and tear starting to show on Coffman's kitchen, and their lives.
Students, mostly Newport Beach moms, eventually inspired them to take Tapenade in a different direction.
After each class, Coffman and Frazier would give students a packet of recipes. But many of the moms would tell them: "This is great, but can you just cook it for me?"
In 2008, they turned Tapenade into a catering company that delivered home-cooked meals to families. As such, they needed a kitchen certified by the county health department.
A frustrating search ensued. They found very few spaces that met their standards for cleanliness and safety.
"We were shocked at how little there was," Frazier said. "Some were creepy places."
Eventually, they settled for a commercial kitchen in Laguna Beach. It wasn't ideal. Frazier recalls having to plan extra time to clean the facility before they could start cooking.
"It was old, dirty and falling apart," Frazier said. "We had to jerry-rig everything to get it to be what we needed."
After the fateful lockout, Coffman and Frazier put together a business plan for The Hood. They jumped on Internet message boards for chefs and caterers to research ideas and get feedback. What they discovered shocked them.
"We found a lot of underground people," Coffman said.
Cottage Food Law
Just as The Hood was getting off the ground, California's Homemade Food Act, nicknamed the Cottage Food Law, went into effect. It allows small food producers to make certain types of foods including baked goods, candies and pastas at home. Perishable foods that need refrigeration, or anything with cream, custard, or meat fillings, are excluded.
Before the law, many artisan food businesses were small and rogue, creating foods at non-permitted homes because they couldn't find a clean place to cook or couldn't afford the monthly fees of a large-scale commercial kitchen.
The Cottage Food Law helped small food producers come clean. Today, about 265 companies have Cottage Food Law permits in Orange County, according to the latest county health agency records.
But for those who still need a facility with a permit, The Hood has proved to be a quasi-culinary safe house.
In the county, East End Kitchens at 4th Street Market in Santa Ana and Culi-Flex in Orange are the only other two big commercial kitchen spaces with operations similar to The Hood Kitchen, according to health records.
"It (The Hood) is a unique operation because they have multiple fully equipped commercial kitchens with cooking, food preparation, food storage," said Denise Fennessy, director of the Orange County Health Care Agency's environmental health division.
"It may have helped move small businesses from possible illegal, unsafe locations to an approved food facility," Fennessy said.
Cheri Liefeld, chef-owner of Adventures in the Kitchen, is one of them.
In 2013, she was teaching cooking classes at an Orange commercial kitchen that – unbeknownst to her – was not permitted. She scouted for a new spot and landed in The Hood. Its 25-seat demonstration studio and kitchen allowed her to expand corporate cooking workshops.
"They were an early frontrunner on these type of spaces," Liefeld said. "For me it was the perfect fit."
Coffman and Frazier supplemented a small business loan with their own money to build the $2 million Hood space in a former tile warehouse in Costa Mesa.
The 5,400-square-foot space features six kitchens with custom appliances and access to walk-in coolers and freezers. Two custom bakeries are set up with dough sheeters, a proofing cabinet, a 30-quart mixer, rolling racks and a maple-top work table. The Hood also features prep space, pantry storage and a studio for chefs to host cooking classes or pop-up dining events.
Fearing failure when they opened in December 2012, they had a backup plan.
"We told each other, 'Well, if no one rents, we cook all day,'" Coffman said. "We'd be full-time caterers, and make meals and do cooking classes."
Plan B, it turned out, wasn't needed.
Saved by Allergan
A week before opening, the executive chef from Allergan stopped by to tour the space. The Irvine-based drug maker was remodeling its in-house cafeteria, leaving the chef scrambling to find an alternative site to cook meals for hundreds of employees.
Once he saw The Hood, he signed on to use two kitchens, full-time, Monday through Friday for several weeks.
"You have no idea how much this saved me," the chef told Coffman and Frazier.
The reality is, Allergan saved them. "It paid our bills for the first three months," Coffman said.
The Allergan culinary team also added cachet. Early on, as potential clients toured The Hood's space, they could observe the cooks, clad in professional chef coats, in action.
In less the than three years since it opened, The Hood has seen about 300 food businesses rotate through. Roughly 60 clients are regulars, using the space several times a month.
To Coffman and Frazier's surprise, restaurants have become key revenue streams. Some, including Seabirds Kitchen, Georgia's Restaurant, Johnny Rockets and Red O, have used The Hood for testing, food prep or training. Meanwhile, the business continues to evolve.
More than a year ago, the partners opened a small market at the front entrance for displaying and selling client products. They also are considering adding more kitchen space.
Frazier and Coffman beam with pride at the success of their clients.
Valenza has won numerous awards for its chocolates, which can be found at Locale Fare boutique at The OC Mix in Costa Mesa and Kean Coffee in Newport Beach.
Foods made at The Hood can also be found at A Market, a boutique deli shop, in Newport Beach, Frazier said. But the biggest reward, Frazier said, is watching talented food artists hone their craft on a daily basis.
"You have a really hard day, and someone bounces in with this an awesome new flavor. They are so passionate and excited and you say, 'Oh man, that's why we did this.'" Frazier said.

text: It is a process wading through the memories and truth shared over the past week and I want desperately to share it with you all. Plus there are exciting things ahead this week. But a mound of homework and five short hours of sleep stand in between me and you. Tomorrow night? We shall meet again!

One of our recent read-alouds was Once on a Time by A.A. Milne, and I was especially pleased that P and T enjoyed it. Partly I was pleased because of course I always want our read-alouds to be enjoyable. But I was especially pleased because I had tried this book with them a number of years ago and found then that they were clearly not ready for it yet, not getting the humor - but this time they were laughing with me all the way. What wonderful evidence of progress and development!
Once on a Time has several short poems in it, and while, strictly speaking, the poems themselves include no overt fantasy, they are deeply entwined in the plot of this fairy tale, and two of the poems are themselves magical. I'll include them along with Milne's context.
"I adore poetry," said the King, who had himself written a rhymed couplet which could be said either forward or backward, and in the latter position was useful for removing enchantments. According to the eminent historian Roger Scurvilegs, it had some vogue in Euralia and went like this:
"Bo, boll, bill, bole.
Wo, woll, will, wole."
A pleasing idea, temperately expressed.
The second poetical excerpt I want to share is also supposed to be excellent for magical emergencies. It is in just such an emergency that Prince Udo recites it. Sort of.
"Now then, how did that bit of Sacharino's go?" [Udo] beat time with a paw. "'Blood for something, something, something. He who something, something, some…' Something like that. 'Blood for - er- blood for - er…' No, it's gone again. I know there was a bit of blood in it. [… ] I shall get it all right. Some of the words have escaped me for the moment, that's all. 'Blood - er - blood.' You must have heard of it, Princess: it's about blood for he who something; you must know the one I mean."
I mention Milne's book because of the excellent fantasy poetry, but also because of some of his comments regarding his book. He makes one of the clearest explanations I've seen of the way I feel about much of my own writing.
For whom, then, is the book intended? That is the trouble. Unless I can say, "For those, young or old, who like the things which I like," I find it difficult to answer. Is it a children's book? Well, what do we mean by that? … [There] are masterpieces which we read with pleasure as children, but with how much more pleasure when we are grown-up. … And is a book "suitable for a boy of twelve" any more likely to please a boy of twelve than a modern novel is likely to please a man of thirty-seven; even if the novel be described truly as "suitable for a man of thirty-seven"? I confess that I cannot grapple with these difficult problems. But I am very sure of this: that no one can write a book which children will like, unless he write it for himself first.
… But as you can see, I am still finding it difficult to explain just what sort of book it is. Perhaps no explanation is necessary. Read in it what you like; read it to whomever you like; it can only fall into one of the two classes. Either you will enjoy it, or you won't.
It is that sort of book.

Emoji Prompt Writing for Open House!
What is Emoji Prompt Writing? The digital versions are a couple of really sweet sites that offer random generators which when clicked will produce Emoji's one at a time in a random order. As the emojis are presented, the student writes the first thing that comes to mind. After a series of several Emoji's, there is a complete and often amazingly creative story. Though it is a really fun and engaging way to encourage creative writing, Emoji prompt writing isn't just for students. Many of us have Open House coming soon. Why not set up an Emoji Prompt Writing station for parents!?
Open House is traditionally a night for parents to come to school, meet with teachers, and enjoy a snapshot of their child's learning throughout the school year. Teachers spend a generous amount of time creating exciting ways to engage and entertain families who make the effort to come. Though the traditional papers and projects that have been meticulously collected throughout the year are on display, why not also incorporate some digital fun.
In my past years, I set up QR Code Walk-Abouts. In the Walk-Abouts, parents would scan a QR code to visit a particular digital piece of work their child had created or it would show them a clue to the next station. The Emoji Prompt Writing Station would be a fun addition.
Emoji Prompt Writing is a fun and engaging way to get students of ALL ages to write. Because it is only images presented, it leaves it wide open to the imagination and even your youngest learners can participate. We want our students to have fun while they learn to write. Let's create the same experience for our parents when they visit during Open House. So how do you get started?
Two of my favorite Emoji Prompt Generators are Eric Curts' Emoji Random Writing Prompt Generator spreadsheet and Ian Byrd's Byrdseed Emoji Prompt Generator. Both work very well. Ian's is very simplistic and easy to use. Eric's though a little more complicated is also more robust so it just depends on what you are looking for.
Now for the station setup! It can be done in a variety of ways, but maybe the most simplistic is to set up a table with paper, pens, and pencils. Maybe a couple of emoji sticker sheets for fun! Next, you will want to choose the Emoji Prompt Generator you prefer, either Eric's Sheet or the Byrdseed link and create a QR Code for it. To create the QR code use the Chrome browser, then go to the Chrome Web Store and search for a QR Code generator. There are many good ones. I am currently using the Quick QR Code Generator. It is a click of a button and it will create the QR Code.
With the extension added, you will open the Emoji Prompt Generator that you chose. Next you simply click on the QR generator extension and a QR Code will pop up! Once you have the QR Code created, you simply print it and display it either on a wall over the writing station or perhaps lay it directly on the table. Also, on the table print some simple directions for using either a Chromebook or phone to scan the QR Code just in case the families need the added help.
Non-techy families? No worries! Print out some emojis and make flashcards out of them. Have them also on the table just in case the tech fails. (Because it never does!) This too is fun. Students can simply shuffle the cards and present them to their families in random order asking them to tell or write a story. Bingo! Another fun and engaging Open House activity. What kind of things do you add to Open House to bring the fun and up the family engagement? Please comment below!

|Greeting Card Sketchbooks
When I signed up for the Sketchbook Project, I wanted to make sketches in that book in the same way that I make sketches in my other sketchbooks – that is, I didn't want to deem it "special" in any way, because if I did, I knew that would make me self-conscious, intimidated, whatever – a certain kiss of death. So to keep it un-special, I decided to carry the 5" x 7" Sketchbook Project sketchbook continually in my purse until I've filled it. (Here are a couple of my first sketches in the book. Edited 12/19/12: Here's the post about my completed sketchbook.) Part of my decision to do this was determined by the fact that it contains only 32 pages of very thin paper with flimsy chipboard covers, so it's light as a feather. (As a bonus, the stapled binding opens flat, which is a requirement for any sketchbook I use, and the page size is very comfortable, despite the crappy paper.)
As a result, I've been using the Sketchbook Project book in very un-special ways –sketches of the backs of heads on buses, parked cars while I'm waiting for my spouse-man to shop at the hardware store, etc. – exactly as I had intended. And I realized I've been leaving even my 5.5" square Hand Book at home when I'm just running errands or going to work because I know the Sketchbook Project book is in my bag already.
All of this prompted me to rethink the concept of the everyday, catch-all sketchbook, and I decided I need something like that very thin, lightweight, flat-opening Sketchbook Project book – but with better paper. The result: the Greeting Card Sketchbook.
First off, I should say that I'm not a bookbinder. I love looking at handmade books, I've purchased a few handmade books, I own a collection of books about bookbinding and showcasing handmade art books and, at various times in my life, I've taken bookbinding classes because I love the idea of making my own books (although in practice, I don't enjoy all the careful measuring, gluing and cutting that traditional bookbinding requires).
|One of my Coptic-bound books.
When I started sketching last year, in a brief burst of rekindled enthusiasm, I idealistically decided I would make all of my own sketchbooks for the rest of my sketching life because it seemed like such a perfect integration of media and message – hand-drawn images kept in handbound books. To that end, last winter I did a little research on binding formats that would produce a flat-opening page and determined that Coptic binding would suit me best. After taking a workshop in Coptic binding, I made three books that I'm pleased with. But they took quite a bit of time to make, and I realized that I'd rather spend the time sketching than making the books. However, I also learned that the process of hand-stitched bindings is a snap, so I filed that away in my mind for future reference.
Fast-forward to this week, when I was enjoying how lightweight my bag is with that thin, flimsy sketchbook, and I began in earnest to come up with a simple – defined as non-time-consuming and using materials I already have – solution to meet this need.
I pulled from my bookshelf Gwen Diehn's The Decorated Journal, which I recalled had easy instructions for the pamphlet stitch binding (which, similar to Coptic, allows the page to open flat). I took a sheet of 100-pound, 18" x 24" Canson Biggie watercolor paper, which I happen to have a stack of, and tore it down to eight 6" x 9" sheets. I folded each sheet in half, yielding a comfortable 6" x 4.5" page: a fast and easy single signature.
But what to do about the covers? (I had made collaged and painted covers for my Coptic books that took more time than I wanted to spend on this project.) I dug around in my box of collage materials and considered old calendar covers, decorative boxes, cardboard and other materials that could be cut down. But what caught my eye was right on my desk – a greeting card with a beloved image of a rabbit from a painting by Koo Schadler (at top of page). Would it be too good to be true for the card to be the right size, without even cutting it down. . . ? It was! And a reused material, to boot!
Nothing spurs me on like the serendipity of art materials, so I pulled out my bookbinding tools (that burst of enthusiasm last December wasn't wasted after all), and in literally a few minutes, I punched and sewed up the pages and covers into a thin, lightweight sketchbook. And since I already had all my bookbinding tools out anyway, I decided to make a second one, below (the card image is from a folding screen by an unknown Japanese artist from the Edo period). This time, I first trimmed a half-inch off the full 18" x 24" sheet before tearing it down, which made the signature fit perfectly between the covers.
Whether the greeting card covers will hold up to daily hauling and handling remains to be seen. But since the book contains only 32 pages (and I've been known to fill a 124-page, 5.5" x 8.5" Stillman & Birn sketchbook in a month), how long does it have to last?
Edited 12/19/12: I just finished filling my first Greeting Card Sketchbook, which has been in my bag continually for about two months. The corners of the covers are a tiny bit dog-eared, but because the covers extend slightly beyond the edges of the pages, the pages themselves are not worn at all. I even got a cover a little wet once, but the heavily varnished card stock held up well and wiped off clean without leaving a mark. Downright sturdy for a book made from a reused card! I'm going to go make a few more.
Edited 6/26/13: The Greeting Card Sketchbooks weren't as durable as I initially thought; see "Catching Up with the Catch-All Sketchbook" for the follow-up report.
Edited 8/11/13: I've rediscovered the joy, value and practicality of a handbound sketchbook.
Edited 10/5/13: I've developed a refinement to the Greeting Card Sketchbook.
Edited 10/20/13: Now that I've streamlined the process, I'm officially hooked on bookbinding.

I saw this lesson done with 1st graders on Artsonia (see here.) I am trying it with some variations with kindergarteners this coming week.
We will start with a Smartboard lesson viewing some of Stuart Davis' work (that I got from a Google image search). Part of that lesson includes a page where students see how to extend a line across the board to look like a street. Last week we made "bold lines" for our project and this is an extension of that concept. They will move shapes on the page to replicate city buildings. Then we'll start creating:
first, the streets:
next the buildings:
and finally, the words. (I got a traffic jam sound effect clip to add to my Smartboard lesson to motivate kids' thinking.)
Students will be creating their city as a collage.

The longest-serving governor in Texas history will announce "exciting new plans." That basically means he will either announce that he is running for a fourth full term in 2014 or he is not.
While Perry has been an unpredictable politician throughout his career, the smart money is on him passing on another bid with an eye on something bigger.
Here's why.
Perry clearly has his sights on something above and beyond the Texas governor's mansion. How do we know this? In short, 2012. Perry ran for president after initially saying he was not interested. And now, he has not shut the door on a 2016 run, despite a much-hyped campaign that fizzled badly.
Bill Miller, a Republican strategist and lobbyist who has known Perry for a long time, is convinced he won't run for reelection. Miller's sense is that Perry has his eye on a return to the national political arena.
"I'm 100 percent that he's not running for reelection, but that's not because he has told me that," said Miller, who said he recently spoke with Perry.
Rice University political scientist Mark Jones took the same view, saying in an interview that "at this point all the signals are that he is not running for governor."
Perry is 63, and the reality is that he's at or near the end of his political career. Another run for governor would hardly be the best way to prepare for a 2016 presidential bid. Perry would be occupied with a state race all the way until November 2014 -- the point at which many 2016 candidates will already be prepping, or at least thinking about, a rollout for some time in 2016.
Plus, there is already a Republican waiting in the wings to fill Perry's shoes with whom the governor shares a close relationship. That Republican is Attorney General Greg Abbott (R). He's been raising big bucks as he's geared up for a gubernatorial bid and would be a major front-runner in an open race. Perry would be hard-pressed to find a better exit scenario in which he can pass the baton to a political ally. Abbott, it's worth noting, wouldn't run against Perry, according to the governor.
"I think tomorrow afternoon [we] will be more than happy to discuss what his future plans would be and/or mine," Perry said on "Fox News Sunday" when asked about Abbott. The governor shed no new light on his upcoming announcement in the interview, and his advisers have been tight-lipped.
"The Abbott machine has been growing by leaps and bounds," noted Jones.
Perry's 2012 presidential campaign got off to a late start. By opting not to run for another term as governor, Perry would free himself up to get an earlier start this time. He could get things rolling well in advance of 2016 by traveling through the early nominating states like Iowa and South Carolina, where appealing to social conservatives would be Perry's best chance to upset what promises to be an imposing slate of GOP contenders.
"If you think about his prospects as a candidate, he's got to do well early," Miller said.
It would be somewhat surprising to see Perry announce a full presidential campaign Monday. It's very, very early to do such a thing. But announcing a broad new political goal or focus that may one day lead to one doesn't seem far-fetched.
Something along the lines of a "wink, wink, nod, nod" announcement would not be surprising, said Jones.
Perry has reinforced his support on the right by emerging as the face of a high-profile fight over abortion laws in Texas. And as abortion has emerged as a contentious political issue on the national radar, Perry's tough stance in Texas gives him a natural way into the larger political conversation.
All that said, Perry, to repeat, is very hard to predict. So, while for all of the reasons outlined above, a reelection campaign would seem like a surprise, we've come to expect the unexpected when it comes to the Lone Star State governor. And if he does decide to run for another term, he'd start as a heavy favorite to win.
"I suppose you need to be there in San Antonio tomorrow and find out with everyone else," Perry said on "Fox News Sunday" when pressed about his decision.
No matter what Perry decides, he's certainly proven that he has a flair for the dramatic.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., June 29, 2004- Geomagic has released a new version of its Geomagic eShell software that cuts sculpting time for customized hearing instrument shells by 33 percent or more.
"We've seen a reduction of anywhere from 33 percent to about 50 percent for operators," says Russ Schreiner, project director for GN ReSound, a Geomagic eShell user and early adopter of version 6. "It is allowing us to meet production demand with less head count. One person can multitask, handling both sculpting and machine operations in some cases."
Geomagic eShell version 6 combines configuration management, shell design and quality inspection in one simple package. It is compatible with all 3D hardware appliances used to capture data and fabricate shells. The standard software approach lowers customers' initial and recurring technology costs.
Speed and consistency
Binaural sculpting – the ability to simultaneously sculpt both the left and right sides of a shell – is the key factor in the increased speed of Geomagic eShell 6. Binaural sculpting automatically transfers commands from the primary shell to the second shell, and allows automatic modification by the user. This not only increases production speed, it helps maintain consistency among sculptors working at different locations.
Further speeding production is the ability to import a "virtual faceplate" containing the geometric definition for electronic components. Components are placed in the shell to avoid interference; the faceplate is then merged into the shell. When the shell is printed, the components can be plugged easily into the base, eliminating the need for a traditional faceplate.
On the front end of Geomagic eShell 6 is a new order configuration module that enables specific order parameters to be defined before shell design, further automating the sculpting process and reducing design time. Based on the information in the order configuration, electronic components and faceplates are automatically imported for placement during sculpting. This reduces operator error according to Schreiner.
Other new features in Geomagic eShell include:
- receiver placement simulation with interference checking
- concurrent measure and offset of selected regions
- automatic location of cut plane when trimming the model
- trench and step vent creation
- vent definition within sculpting commands to enable simultaneous interference checking
- predefined canal tip profiles
- loading and saving of configuration settings
"This is an extremely stable release of the most complete and reasonably priced software package in the hearing aid marketplace," says Schreiner. Geomagic eShell 6 is available immediately. For more information, visit the Geomagic web site: www.geomagic.com.

November 28 marks the one year anniversary of the Second High-Level Meeting of the Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation (HLM2) and endorsement of the Nairobi Outcome Document. As stakeholders celebrate this anniversary and review their own progress in implementing the effective development co-operation principles, a digital version of the glossy summary report of HLM2 has been made available, with special gratitude to the Government Kenya in their capacity as HLM2 host.
HLM2 was a groundbreaking opportunity for diverse stakeholder groups to collectively shape how they work together to maximise the effectiveness of development co-operation. The Nairobi Outcome Document charted a way forward for the Global Partnership to effectively contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda.
During the first year of the Nairobi Outcome Document's implementation, a wide range of development stakeholders joined forces to roll out the 2017-18 Programme of Work agreed by the Global Partnership Steering Committee. Adopted at the 13th Steering Committee Meeting in Washington, D.C. (April 2017), the Work Programme underlines six strategic outputs to help the Global Partnership drive global, regional and country-level progress towards effective development co-operation. Four Working Groups have been established to support implementation of the Work Programme, spearheaded by Steering Committee members and Co-Chairs with involvement of the Global Partnership Initiatives (GPIs) and support from the UNDP-OECD Joint Support Team.
At its 14th Meeting in Dhaka, Bangladesh (October 2017), the Steering Committee reviewed progress made since adoption of the Work Programme in April. A more comprehensive summary of outcomes from the 14th Steering Committee Meeting is available here.

Scanner Makes Work Easier
Technology has really improved a lot since my younger days and now thirty years later. During the time when I just started working and that was thirty years ago, I didn't like going shopping especially when there were big sales going on. All the time wasted not on the shopping but on the queuing up when it comes to payment. They didn't have these laser barcode scanner those days, unlike now, the cashiers' tasks are made easier. They do not have to "punch" in numbers anymore, with a scanner, payment is being done very swiftly and accurately.

Our Thanksgiving holiday was excellent, if a bit tiring. Mom is not as young and vigorous as she once was, so a large portion of the work fell to her favorite son who is privileged to be able to do it. This involves moving the furniture into a new configuration so as to accommodate the extended dining room table and chairs. Then the fine china has to be retrieved from its hiding place, along with the silver, tablecloth and various serving dishes. The table must be set properly, with the salad fork to the left of the dinner fork. The cooking involves putting the turkey into a smoker with mesquite chips and cooking it for four hours, a process that we've been using for years and which never fails to produce an excellent turkey. The smoker has a large pan of water just over the firebox which keeps all the meat moist.
I think that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. There is limited shopping to worry about and, generally speaking, a maximum amount of pleasant socializing. In past years when more of our family were on this side of the lawn, Uncle Sardonicus would get a snoot full and lose his temper arguing politics with the rest of the crew. Auntie Annie would be horrified at his behavior and would give him hell when they would get back home. Sadly those days have gone by the wayside. For one thing, Auntie Annie finally had enough of Uncle Sardonicus's drinking habits and told him that if he didn't straighten up he'd find himself dog housed permanently. For another, Sardonicus has since developed a health condition that prohibits drinking anything more than one beer every six months or so. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
The one thing that I do not enjoy about Thanksgiving is the K.P. duty. Traditionally this job always fell to the women, although Auntie Annie always had to prod 88 to get her to pitch in and help. Then one year the women made an executive decision to clean up the kitchen between the meal and the serving of desert, which resulted in the men waiting around for an hour for a piece of pie. This didn't sit well with the men, and the Whiskey Man said as much to Mom. My dear Auntie Annie didn't have sense enough to be intimidated by the Whiskey Man, and so retorted that if the men could do any better they were welcome to try. Never one to back away from an electric fence and a pissing contest, Shotgun Bob put both feet into the leg hold trap and was joined by California Dave and Big Mike. So it was decided that the men would serve desert and provide clean up services.
All I can say is that at the time this decision was made, I was under the influence and had the good sense to stay quiet. Big Mike will likely argue that I was too loaded to speak, but he doesn't know what he's talking about since he was busy egging Shotgun Bob on while all this was happening. I won't bore the readers with an extended description of that first effort except to say that half the men involved had restaurant experience, and I don't mean managerial. Having little experience in a commercial kitchen, I was appointed as head waiter, which on the surface seemed like a good idea. In fact I had consumed three of the Whiskey Man's martinis (generous doubles of hundred proof - the Old Man knew how to pour a drink) and couldn't pour the coffee without spilling it. Then 88 squirted whipped cream all over my shirt. Never minding all that, Big Mike appointed himself head of the Kitchen Police and as a result of his hard work and organizational skills the desert was served in a timely fashion and the kitchen was actually cleaner and neater than when the cooking started. That's saying something, as Mom is very particular about her kitchen.
Usually Big Mike gets stuck washing the dishes. This year I determined that Mike would not get stuck with this somewhat onerous task, and since Shotgun Bob and The Girl elected to have Thanksgiving with Herself's family at trailer court North, I would do the dishes. This required some preparation on my part, meaning that I stayed out of the booze and took care not to over-eat. I also took a pain pill between dinner and desert as my lower back was bothering me from the morning preparations and from being on my feet most of the day, and I knew that bending over the sink would aggravate it.
The thing is, Mom likes to serve the dinner on fine china. I suggested paper plates and my suggestion was rejected out of hand. Since putting the china into the dish washer will ruin it, that means that everything must be washed by hand. This includes most of the cookware as well, as the dish washer can only accommodate six of the 57 pieces used to prepare the meal. Grab the sponge and start washing, Jack. Big Mike and his mom, Chatelaine, dried dishes and put things away, for which I thank them. The washing procedure seemed to go on forever, and about half way through I realize that if the pain pill I took is working, it is not working well enough to counteract the nasty little demon with the ice pick. I resolve not to give up, and so in defiance of my notion that I've actually died and gone to Hades, there to wash dishes forever, the job eventually gets finished.
The women spend the time playing some sort of game in the living room which involves scrabble words, hearts and flowers. Mom enjoys herself, which makes the effort worthwhile. Did I mention that Shotgun Bob and The Girl were absent? No matter. They'll be here for the Christmas holiday, and then the two of them can be assigned to KP. Of course Mom has decided that since we'll be having a larger crowd on Christmas, perhaps it would be best to use paper plates instead of the good china.

Georgia Northwestern Falls On Road Saturday
Bobcats Prepare For Chattahoochee Tech Friday
(Macon, Georgia) –Georgia Northwestern Head Men's Basketball Coach David Stephenson's Bobcats got as close as a dozen in the second half against Division I NJCAA opponent Central Georgia Saturday but would fall on the road, 91-63. Freshman Steven Hughley, a graduate of Chattanooga-Brainerd, would ring up 17 points as the sixth man for the Cats as Georgia Northwestern dropped its second straight game.
Bobcat co-captain sophomore Kyle Wilson (Armuchee) would also rack up 17 points to help lead the way in the GNTC road loss. The Bobcats (1-2, 0-1) play their next conference game in Marietta, Georgia Friday night as they square off with Chattahoochee Tech.
Cougar standout sophomore Shun Thurmond led all scorers with 30 on the day. Down 16 at the half, Stephenson's crew kept things respectable for most of the game before bench play would see the game open up to a 28-point win for Central Georgia (1-2). Only six Bobcats would score in the road contest Saturday.
"We learned a lot about our team today," said Stephenson. "Playing a scholarship school like Central Georgia is a great measuring stick for our guys. We quickly have to take everything we've learned this past two weeks and get ready for conference play Friday night."
For more information on the Bobcats Men's Basketball program at Georgia Northwestern or any student-athlete project at Georgia Northwestern, you can contact the Office of Sports Information at 706.764.3813 or email to email@example.com. Georgia Northwestern is Northwest Georgia's largest college with more than 6,700 students across four campuses and online.
Georgia Northwestern (63) – Jackson, Kyle Wilson 17, Woods, Chattin, Moore 7, Printup 2, Patton 5, Seth Davenport 15, Steven Hughley 17, Ware, Bonds.
Central Georgia (91) – Miller, Rouse 5, Shun Thurmond 30, Josh Peters 15, Derry Thorpe 17, Butler 4, Washington 2, Davis 8, Moore 2, Broussard 4, Quarterman 4, Lashley.
Halftime score: 52-36, Central Georgia

Six Tips for Back to School
August 19, 2015
Can you believe that we are already in the middle of August!?! Even though the weather doesn't seem to know summer is coming to an end, we all know what the end of August brings…the start of the new school year. This is a time of year with a lot of changes and transitions. As most of our families are gearing back up for school we wanted to share a few Back to School Tips from NASP (National Association of School Psychologists) in hopes of making your family's transition back to school as smooth as possible!
Before School Starts
Visit school with your child
If your child is young or in a new school, visit the school with your child. Meeting the teacher, locating their classroom, locker, lunchroom, etc., will help ease pre-school anxieties and also allow your child to ask questions about the new environment. Call ahead to make sure the teachers will be available to introduce themselves to your child.
Re-establish the bedtime and mealtime routines
Plan to re-establish the bedtime and mealtime routines (especially breakfast) at least 1 week before school starts. Prepare your child for this change by talking with your child about the benefits of school routines in terms of not becoming over tired or overwhelmed by school work and activities. Include pre-bedtime reading and household chores if these were suspended during the summer.
The First Week
Set Alarm Clocks and leave plenty of extra time
Have school-age children set their own alarm clocks to get up in the morning. Praise them for prompt response to morning schedules and bus pickups.. Make sure your child has plenty of time to get up, eat breakfast, and get to school. For very young children taking the bus, pin to their shirt or backpack an index card with pertinent information, including their teacher's name and bus number, as well as your daytime contact information.
Send a brief note to your child's teacher
Let the teachers know that you are interested in getting regular feedback on how and what your child is doing in school. Be sure to attend back-to-school night and introduce yourself to the teachers. Find out how they like to communicate with parents (e.g., through notes, e-mail, or phone calls). Convey a sincere desire to be a partner with your children's teachers to enhance their learning experience.
Overcoming Anxiety
Let your children know you care
If your child is anxious about school, send personal notes in the lunch box or book bag. Reinforce the ability to cope. Children absorb their parent's anxiety, so model optimism and confidence for your child. Let your child know that it is natural to be a little nervous anytime you start something new but that your child will be just fine once he or she becomes familiar with classmates, the teacher, and school routine.
Reinforce your child's ability to cope
Give your child a few strategies to manage a difficult situation on his or her own. But encourage your child to tell you or the teacher if the problem persists. Maintain open lines of communication with the school.

This section tells you a little about what a Power of Attorney is, what happens if you don't have one, and how Hansells can help. You can be rest assured you'll always enjoy a down to earth and friendly service from the Hansells' team.
What is a Power of Attorney?
A Power of Attorney is a legal document which lets you (the Donor) choose somebody you trust (the Attorney) to look after your affairs should you become unable to do so in the future. The Attorney might, for example, look after your finances or make decisions on your behalf about your property or personal welfare.
There are 3 types of Power of Attorney
General Power of Attorney
This allows you to appoint someone to look after your financial and property affairs on a temporary basis – for example if you're going abroad for some time. The Authority under a General Power of Attorney can be limited to specific matters or for general purposes. The Power can be revoked by you at any time and it is automatically revoked if you become mentally incapable of dealing with your financial affairs.
Enduring Power of Attorney
Whilst it is no longer possible to make an Enduring Power of Attorney, such Powers that are made prior to 30 September 2007 are still valid. Hansells can assist with the registration of an Enduring Power of Attorney with the Office of the Public Guardian where necessary and give general advice about acting under an Enduring Power or Attorney.
Lasting Power of Attorney
These documents have replaced Enduring Powers of Attorney. The new powers have more safeguards built in and have a wider use and application than the earlier Enduring kind. We recommend a Lasting Power of Attorney in case you become unable to deal with your affairs in the future due to injury, ill health or age.
There are two types of Lasting Power of Attorney – one to deal with Property and Financial Affairs and the second to manage Health and Welfare. Please speak to us about these and your options regarding either or both.
What if you have not planned ahead?
If you (or someone close to you) have not prepared a Lasting or Enduring Power of Attorney and you become incapable of managing your own affairs – it would be necessary for a Deputyship Order to be applied for. This involves making an application to the Court of Protection, which can be by a family member, a trusted friend or perhaps a family solicitor.
If a Deputy is needed they are required to submit detailed application forms in order to be approved. Once acting as Deputy, they must take out a special insurance bond, produce an annual report and keep accounts. At Hansells we can help you with all of these legal formalities and we can also act as Deputy for you.
This can be avoided by preparing a Lasting Power of Attorney in advance and this will ensure the person you choose deals with your affairs when you can't.
How can Hansells help?
We can:
- Help you to prepare a General Power of Attorney
- Help you to register an Enduring Power of Attorney
- Help you to prepare and register a Lasting Power of Attorney
- Advise and support Attorneys acting under a Power of Attorney
- Advise on the choice of Deputy should a Power of Attorney not exist
- Advise and support Deputies throughout the application process for a Deputyship Order and assist with the on-going management and supervision of their responsibilities
- Act as the Attorney or Deputy when you need someone experienced and independent to assist
Prepare for the future today
Whether you want to plan ahead with a Power of Attorney, or you need help and advice on becoming or appointing a Deputy, do get in touch.
We can talk you through everything on the phone or meet you face to face. We can also send you more detailed information about the options concerning Powers of Attorney.

text: NaFe Report post Posted 11August, 2017 Hi All, I hope you don't mind me starting this rebuild thread. Please let me know as I'm happy to delete it. As you can see, I don't quite have a Porsche but have already found so much useful info on here and was hoping to share my first engine rebuild. I'm happy for people to suggest recommendations and help me to understand.So a bit of history. Bought as a shell that was imported from Arizona to UK back in 2010. Fully restored and painted and fitted 1981 SC engine - completing in May 2012. Travelled 2500miles to South of france for a holiday before a friends wedding in July 2012 and another friends in December 2012. Moved to Melbourne for 2yrs back in April 2013 so left the camper in storage for our return. 4yrs on the wife and I decided that we would ship the camper over to Aus as it's the ideal place for enjoyment. Started the prep for VASS approval and RWC only to find a snapped headstud on exhaust side on no.6. Historically I have had lower compression on no.2 so I've opted for a rebuild before getting her on the road.The engine is now out and on the floor - with a bit of help from the wife! She's been promising for the past 12yrs to help and finally volunteered to give us a hand! AND SHE ENJOYED IT!A bit of prep before work starts:evidence of the wife:separating the box from engine:I await the arrival of my engine stand mount before getting it on the stand. I'm going to carry out a leakdown test before the teardown. Not sure whether there's much point though as I'm stripping it down to a short block anyways. The plan (at present) isn't to split the case but time may tell otherwise. I'll be replacing all 24 headstuds with standard steels and will inspect parts for condition as I go. 1 12 901er, symsy, firstone and 10 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
