About a third of Georgia's most academically troubled schools have improved enough to be removed from the state's "priority" and "focus" lists.
The Georgia Department of Education, which keeps the list based on federal criteria, reported Tuesday that 74 of 243 schools were being removed. Twenty five were in metro Atlanta's five biggest districts: nine in Atlanta, three in Cobb County, five in DeKalb County, five in Fulton County and three in Gwinnett County . None were removed in Clayton County, another major metro district.
Georgia established the lists as part of a waiver granted from requirements of the old No Child Left Behind Act, which was long overdue for an update by the time Congress rewrote the law in December 2015.
The resulting Every Student Succeeds Act does not require a priority and focus list. Instead, it requires schools to be identified and supported as "Comprehensive Support and Improvement" or "Targeted Support and Improvement" schools, with criteria to be submitted to the federal government in September.
Priority schools represent the lowest-performing 5 percent of schools with the highest poverty levels (Title 1 schools) based on achievement data, plus schools with a graduation rate below 60 percent for two consecutive years. Focus schools represent the lowest-performing 10 percent of high poverty schools based on "achievement gap" data, which show the difference between a school's lowest performing students and the state average, and the amount of gap closure.

Ek Nayi Pehchan 8th August 2014 Written Episode Update
Ek Nayi Pehchan 8th August 2014 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
Sakshi smiles as she stands beside Sharda who is busy praying. She is happy to see her Ma in the same temple (at home) which has always been hers. Sharda smiles. I have come here but I am scared for some reason. I have promised Pallavi that I will take care of her kids. What if I am unable to do it? what if I make a mistake? Sakshi is sure her Ma can never make a mistake. Sharda wonders if she is doing the right thing. now I realise that Suresh might not have liked / loved her ever. Sakshi knows her Ma has a big heart. You are trying to handle the kids of that lady because of who your whole life has turned upside down. It isn't easy to understand the relation that you share with Pallavi. Papa will understand things in time. Leave it all on time for it has all the answers. Listen to your heart and leave the rest on God. They both fold their hands in prayer yet again.
Suresh is looking for a file (Khanna Industries). He is sure Sharda might have kept it somewhere. She would have started tidying the house as soon as she came here. Why cant she mind her business?
Sharda is telling Lata what all places to clean. Pallavi smiles at this. She sits down with everyone else in the living hall. An irked Suresh comes to ask Sharda about the file but controls himself as he notices Pallavi. He doesn't want any drama from her so calmly asks Sharda. She tells him where she has kept it. pallavi is happy to see that her plan has had an effect on Suresh. But I will not believe it till he apologizes to Sharda from heart. Sharda wants to go to bring it for him but Pallavi stops her. She instead tells Lata to bring it.
Door bell rings. Few reporters have come over. Suresh tells them that he cannot give an interview right now as he is upset but they shock him by saying that they have come to take Sharda Mehta's interview. Pallavi smiles. Shanaya doesn't look interested.
Sakshi brings her Ma there. Pallavi is sad to see Shanaya leave from there when Sharda comes there. The reporters talk well about Sharda doing extraordinary work even after being an ordinary woman. She declines but Sakshi supports the reporters. Suresh watches this intently. Sharda is asked about her journey of transformation. She tells them that she had to face problems to find her new identity. Sharda calls Sakshi her inspiration (which shocks Suresh). She took the darkness away from my life. I was illiterate but today I am a little literate and smart because of her only. Its all down to my DIL Sakshi and son Karan. Pallavi talks about Sharda's talent of making patola sarees and how Meeta Manchanda was impressed by her work. They ask about her relation with Sharda for which Sharda addresses her as her sister.
Pallavi suggests the reporters to take Suresh's interview (as he is the reason of her success). He acts up but comes to talk to them. They ask about his contribution in Sharda's success. Pallavi tells him to tell them about Sharda's study and how he helped her in setting up the factory. Suresh smiles in acknowledgement whereas Pallavi tells them that he dint help Sharda at all. Shocker for him! Actually Sharda doesn't need anyone's help. She did everything on her own. It is all because of Sakshi and Karan. They are the reason behind her success. Only Sharda is behind her success. Everyone is happy except Suresh. He excuses himself on the pretext of taking a call. Sakshi is happy that the reporters are trying to share her Ma's story with everyone. Pallavi sits down beside Sharda.
Suresh is upset with Pallavi as she keeps on insulting him in front of everyone. She simply told the truth. Sharda has made her new identity all by herself. You too know this. I have never seen an insensitive person like you. Sharda has struggled so much and you don't see a thing. It doesn't matter to him. it was her own choice to walk out of this house. Don't forget that you and your daughter had also increased her struggle. She agrees. She did it as she wanted to make Sharda an independent and strong woman which she has become today. She and Karan have made a new identity for themselves after separating from you. He is taken aback. He in turn calls her selfish. You brought Sharda in this house, our life as you are worried only about your kids' future. She nods. Which mom will not want her kids to have such a good upbringing? Her belief, her love, her tolerance is unmatchable. I cannot be happier if I see my kids being brought up with the same values. I feel pity for you. You are so blind that you cannot even see her one good point. You have always insulted her. He replies that he might have as he doesn't consider Sharda as his wife. Pallavi is shocked by his statement. My family pushed me into this relation with an illiterate, uneducated girl but I have fulfilled all my duties therefore I don't have to apologize to Sharda for anything. I hope you understand. He leaves from there. She feels that she never understood him. Who can hate a woman like Sharda who still loves you very much after whatever happened. If it would have been anyone else then she would have left you long back.
The kitchen is under Sakshi for today. She has Chirag, Karan and Aarav as her assistants. Sharda leaves but tells them to be careful and keep the kitchen clean.
Karan wipes his tears as he cuts onions. Sakshi teases him about it. They all have a great time teasing and talking to each other including Aarav. Shanaya comes to ask for water from Lata and is surprised to see all of them there. Sakshi asks her to join them but Shanaya denies. sharda witnesses this from outside and then looks at her kids in kitchen who are busy cooking the dinner. Pallavi notices her thus. She is happy for Sharda as the kids have given her a break. You have become a celebrity. Your interview will be in tomorrow's magazine. Sharda smiles a shy smile. They hear the laughter of their kids. They both smile. I don't think we will get dinner today. she offers to cook it but Sharda stops her. you should rest. Pallavi doesn't want to be an ill patient. Let me do what I like please. Sharda agrees but tells her to sit down / rest or call her if she feels unwell. Pallavi goes inside.
Everyone sits down for dinner. Sharda calls Chirag but he isn't hungry right now. Pallavi makes Sharda sit down as well. I have made the food so I will serve it. I will give it (firstly) to the head of the family. Suresh smiles and puts his plate before him but much to his shock, Pallavi gives it to Sharda first. Everyone is pleased to see this except Suresh and Shanaya. Pallavi tells them that the one who takes care of the family or worries about them the most is the head of the family. karan, Sakshi and Dadi feel happy for Sharda. She has made everyone's favourite dishes. They all love the aroma of the food. She adds food in Suresh's plate telling him that she has made his favourite dish for him. She winks at Sharda. He takes a bite and starts coughing badly. She gives him water. The dish is a little too spicy for him. she replies that she was upset with him so maybe the food turned out that ways. He says that even Sharda used to get upset with me but it never showed in the food that she cooked. Pallavi agrees. This is because she loves you more than she loves herself. Everyone stares at her speechless. Suresh gets up from there upset. Sharda asks Pallavi to join them. Pallavi walks towards a chair and feels dizzy. Everyone rushes to her side. Shanaya wants to take her mom on her own and tells Karan to leave her but Sharda tells her to let Karan do it. Karan and Aarav help Pallavi. Meanwhile Shanaya is upset. You all have snatched everything from me already but now you are snatching my mom from me too. She gets a call from someone and agrees to go to some party.
Sharda tells Pallavi to rest while she wants to go call the doc. Pallavi wants to talk to her. She is pained to see Shanaya's reaction. She is not even trying whereas your kids have accepted Aarav whole heartedly. Maybe my upbringing isn't as good as yours. sharda declines. she is a kid. She will understand with time. Pallavi replies that intelligence isn't related with age. Sharda nods. Some kids understand fast. Shanaya too will understand. A gardener takes care of those plants as well whose flowers take time to blossom. Pallavi wishes to spend some more time with her. I could have learned something more from you and taught it to my children. I don't know how to make Shanaya understand. Sharda remembers that it is Rakhi tomorrow. I will try to do something tomorrow. everything will be fine. Pallavi has full faith in her. you will win my daughter somehow. I will go peacefully if she gels with you people. Epi ends on Sharda's sad face.
Precap: Pallavi gifts Sharda (as a sister) a gift on Rakhi. It is a pair of beautiful bangles. Title song plays. Sharda gets emotional.

In 2016 sales of pre-owned condos exceeded sales of new condos in the Tokyo area for the first time since records on both have been available (from 1996). Sales of pre-owned condos were up on a year-to-year basis by 6.9% to 37,189 units in 2016, whereas there were 35,772 new condo units sold during the same period (down 11.6% year to year) according to the Real Estate Economic Institute Co., Ltd.
Average Price of New Condos Down
The average price of a new condo in 2016 was down 0.5% on a year-to-year basis compared to 2015 to 54.9 million yen. This was the first time in the last four years average price decreased. The number of sales of new condos in Tokyo's 23 wards was the lowest in the last 24 years.
Over the last three years, the average price for a new condo sold in Tokyo's 23 wards exceeded 50 million yen. This is the first three year period in which the average price exceeded 50 million yen since 1992.
For a family-sized new condo of 70 square meters in Tokyo, prices are about 70 million yen, which is too much for most working families to afford, so demand has been spilling over from new condos to pre-owned properties.
Although the relative yield is better on pre-owned condos, foreigners appear nevertheless to still prefer to invest in new condos for their more modern facilities and higher construction quality.
Causes Behind Increased Prices in New Condos
An important reason why prices have been so high historically for new condos over the last three years is the severe labor shortage in the Japanese construction industry and resultant higher wages.
Further, since interest rates are currently so low due to the Bank of Japan's loose monetary policy, developers are willing to hold properties on their balance sheets for longer than in the past, without having to worry that the financing costs (the monthly interest costs on developer loans) would too severely eat into their profits. Accordingly, it seems developers are relatively comfortable sitting tight and not reducing prices to stimulate sales more than at any time in the past.
Prices of Pre-Owned Condos Also Rising
According to Tokyo Kantei, in 2016 the average list price for a pre-owned condo with roughly 70 square meters' space in the Tokyo metropolitan area was 34.76 million yen. This was an increase of 13.2% when compared to 2015 average price. In addition, this price level breached the record average price logged in 2008 and is the highest since 1994.
Many buyers are priced out of the new condo market, and given the lower number of new condos compared to pre-owned condos, more people are switching their target to the larger potential market of pre-owned assets.
Most of the growth in price for used condos is happening outside of Tokyo's central six wards.
In December 2016, average prices were up 2.3% compared to December 2015 for Chiyoda-ku, Chuo-ku, Minato-ku, Shinjuku-ku, Shibuya-ku, and Bunkyo-ku, but average prices were up 9.1% for Tokyo's 23 wards taken as a whole when compared to December 2015.

There's a new custom at our house. Every afternoon I put on the kettle and brew a bit of tea. Then I open a can of tuna. The tea is for me–plus something sweet. The tuna? For Gatito, my tabby, who quickly learned from the sound of water boiling and cupboards opening that I was in the kitchen doing something that just might mean a tasty snack for him.
Gatito savors the tuna. A special treat. I sip my tea–often a cinnamon and spice herbal concoction. And then my kitty hops up on my lap and I spend some time stroking his soft coat while he purrs and purrs. In fact, this time out for tea is turning into one of the nicest moments of my retirement, and I think it is turning into one of the nicest parts of Gatito's day, too. Or at least I hope it is. It's our hour for bonding; truly a pause (or should I say "paws") that refreshes. Then we're good to go until dinnertime.
I recommend a similar daily break to all who have cats. An afternoon tea with a cute kitty is a delightful experience. Could work out well even for those who have dogs! And tea in the afternoon, for those of you who appreciate history, is a time-honored tradition that deserves perpetuating.
The Chinese started it all in ancient times. Then the English king, Charles the Second, enjoyed the teatime hour in 1660. But it took Anna, the seventh duchess of Bedford to really make afternoon tea a popular event. Anna took to tea in 1840, historians say. And here's why: Dinner was served very late in those days–around 8 p.m.–and Anna got too hungry to wait around. So, she ordered a plate of bread and butter, nice little cucumber sandwiches, cakes, muffins and a steaming pot of tea sent to her royal chambers each day around 4 p.m. Her royal friends and commoners, too, heard about what was happening. And they soon were doing their own versions of afternoon tea, turning it into both a practical respite and a social occasion.
I looked online but could find no mention of cats being invited to tea at Anna's. But I am sure some must have heard kettles boiling and cupboards opening and then cashed in on some of the tasty sandwiches that got overlooked by the ladies and gentlemen. Maybe Gatito has English ancestors who showed up in royal kitchens. Who knows? I guess only Gatito–and he isn't saying. He's just purring and chowing down on his teatime tuna.

(covers information that was retroactively changed)
The Atlas-Agena was an American expendable rocket that was in service with NASA in the mid-20th century. This rocket, which consisted of a primary booster (the Atlas) and a secondary booster (the Agena B), was used for launching a probe into space for its journey to Luna or a planetary body, such as Venus or Mars. The rocket saw use in the Mariner and Ranger programs.
There were two black-and-white drawings that were stored in the USS Enterprise library computer. The first depicted a launch sequence for a Ranger space probe, and the second depicted schematics of the rocket and a Mariner space probe. These drawings were later retrieved by the Talosians when they accessed the starship's computers in 2254. (TOS: "The Cage")

For many organizations today, Moodle is the cornerstone of their learning program. From Moodle, they launch courses, administer quizzes, manage users, and much more. When it first hit the scene, it was applauded for the flexibility it gave the everyday user to establish a learning management system.
Today, not so much.
Moodle is still very popular, but this is arguably driven because of the brand and the way that they have preferred partners implementing their platform.
In fact, I would argue that popularity is decreasing, and for two primary reasons:
- It is ugly.
- It is not user friendly.
Beauty in the Eye of the Beholder?
Okay, so I understand that preference in design is (somewhat) subjective. Despite this, I would still venture to guess that the majority of users would find Moodle to be extremely dated. Here is their demo site:
Not exactly what one would consider modern. Keep in mind too that this demo site is designed to get you excited about what Moodle has to offer. If I were looking at this for the first time, I would run the other way. It looks out of touch.
The out-of-box set-up isn't much to look at – here is an example of what a logged-in student would see when logging-in to take a course:
I will concede that design is often dependent on a variety of factors, but neither of these examples has even the slightest relevant design elements. We have long progressed past the boxed look.
What About Themes?
Since Moodle is open-source, there are themes that are available as well. Before you get too excited though, understand that the themes do little to bolster the appearance as they are still subjective to Moodle's grid-like structure. They can also pose quite the challenge to implement.
If you're going to implement Moodle in any effective manner, it is in your best interest to hire a firm to set it up properly from both a configuration and visual standpoint. At the very least this will set you back a few thousand dollars.
It is because of Moodle's general lack of pleasant visuals, clunky navigation, and overall complexity that I am adamant about using WordPress as an LMS – in fact there are many benefits to doing so.
The two pain-points I mention are immediately removed when using WordPress, and with the advent of Tin Can API, you can easily launch Articulate Storyline or Adobe Captivate courses – removing the need for Moodle altogether and opening up a world of possibilities through WordPress' plugin repository and overall user-friendliness.
If you are still using Moodle, you should strongly consider removing the Moodle handcuffs and exploring the exciting alternatives.

BRISTOL, Tenn. --- Austin Meyer went 3-for-4 including his game-winning two-run double in the eighth inning to lead King University to a 12-10 non-conference win over visiting Tusculum University Tuesday afternoon.
The two teams combined for 22 runs, 27 hits, 17 walks and utilized 13 pitchers in the four-hour slugfest as the Tornado (12-22) avenge last month's 19-4 throttling at the hands of the Pioneers in Greeneville.
Nine of the dozen runs scored by King in the game came with two outs including the go-ahead scores in the eighth on Meyer's two-run double to right field as part of a three-run inning.
KU's River Laskey accounted for three runs, while Hunter Barbour added two hits and drove in four RBI. Tony Valdes, Nathan Jaye and Trader Flora also accounted for two-hit games.
Both teams came out swinging combining for 16 runs and 13 hits in the first three innings alone.
TU's Nathan Montgomery got the offense going with his one-out single in the first inning. King responded in the bottom of the inning when Barbour belted a three-run homer to right field for a 3-1 lead.
Tusculum answered with four runs in the second with the big hit coming on Bryson Ford's three-run double as TU took the lead 5-3. In the bottom of the second, TU starting pitcher Trevor Lloyd struck out the first two batters he faced, but back-to-back walks to Meyer and Chase Hilliard brought in reliever Christian Cuba who gave up a RBI single to Valdes. Two runs scored on a dropped outfield fly to score two more runs and Barbour drove in his fourth RBI of the game with a single as the Tornado led 7-5.
TU tied the game at 7-7 with two runs in the top of the third inning, but King answered again with two runs scoring on back-to-back doubles from Zachary Thomas and Flora as KU regained the lead at 9-7.
After two scoreless innings, Tusculum retook the lead with three runs in the sixth thanks to a RBI double from Garrett Dupuis and a two-run homer off the bat of Wes Reynolds for a 10-9 advantage.
The score remained that way until the bottom of the eighth as Laskey led off with a single and moved to second on a ground out. He would score the tying run on Jaye's one-out base hit. A pinch-hit single by Kevin Barbato and a two-out walk to Flora loaded the bases to set up Meyer with his late-game heroics.
In the ninth, King pitcher Stephen Henderson retired the first two batters of the inning before giving up a double to Jarel McDade bringing pinch-hitter Bradley Evans to the plate representing the tying run. But on the second pitch, Evan flied out to center field to end the game.
Henderson (1-0) pitched two shutout innings with a strikeout for the Tornado. TU reliever Andrew Willis (2-4) was tagged with the loss as he went 0.2 innings, allowed four hits, three runs, one walk and a strikeout.
Ford finished the game with four RBI on the afternoon, while Daulton Martin went 1-for-3 with three walks to add to his NCAA Division II leading total of 45 bases on balls, which are the fifth-most in Tusculum history. Martin also posted two stolen bases, while senior outfielder Seth DeHaven also had a pair of stolen bases in the game.
The Pioneers (26-16) return to South Atlantic Conference play this weekend when they host 28th-ranked Lincoln Memorial University for a three-game series beginning with Friday's 6 p.m. opener.
Tuesday was Tusculum's final road game of the regular season. Friday's game with LMU begins a seven-game home-stand at Pioneer Park, where TU has accounted for an impressive 15-2 home record.

Talks on Kabir
Kabir moet lachen
In The Fish in the Sea is not Thirsty wordt betoogd: De vis zwemt rond in de zee zonder dorst te hebben, maar de mens heeft die wel. Hij/zij maakt deel uit van de Existentie, maar hij is zich hier volkomen onbewust van. De mens is geboren in het Bestaan, hij ademt in het Bestaan en hij zal er uiteindelijk ook weer in opgaan. Maar hij heeft er geen weet van.
Men is goddelijk, gemaakt van de stof die "God" genoemd wordt, maar heeft daar geen enkele herinnering aan.
Naar aanleiding van de songs van de wever-dichter Kabir geeft Osho een uiteenzetting, dat wij in de overgangsfase van het dierlijke naar het menselijke verkeren. We worden ons door dit boek bewust hoe we verder kunnen komen en wat we op ons pad kunnen ontmoeten.
Het boek The Fish in the Sea is not Thirsty is verkrijgbaar in de Boekhandel of via internet en ook als audiobook.
Positieve Boodschap
Impressie van The Fish in the Sea is not Thirsty
Commenting on the haunting songs of Kabir, Osho takes the reader to the very core of the human dilemma, to the simple cause of man′s misery – that he thinks that he is separate from existence; his inability to comprehend why the fish in the sea is not thirsty. Osho also answers questions, speaking on emotions and being detached from them, aloneness and love, imitation, children and religion, rebellion, living in a balanced way, sex, the generation gap and much more.
"I laugh, says Kabir, "when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty; you do not see that the Real is in your home, and you wander listlessly! Here is the truth! Go where you will, if you can't find where your soul is hidden, for you the world will never be real!"
Through the compositions of Kabir, Osho takes the reader to the very core of the human dilemma, to the simple causes of misery and unhappiness, the duality of man's existence, the futility of Sunday religion and the illusions of the mind. The emphasis is on Being Yourself and Being Aware. Osho talks of the importance of meditation, understanding, love, celebration, creativity and humour—qualities that in his view are suppressed by adherence to static belief systems.
The Fish is not Thirsty
The fish in the sea is not thirsty, observes Osho, but man is. Man lives in existence, and is absolutely unaware of it. One is born in existence, breathes in existence. Each human being is godliness, made of the stuff called God, and yet completely oblivious of the fact.
Osho's message is a positive one. He states that we are all potential Buddhas, with the capacity for enlightenment. According to him, every human being is capable of responding rather than reacting to life. He suggests that it is possible to experience innate divinity and to be conscious of who we really are even though our ego's usually prevent us from enjoying this experience. However, unless one is ready to dissolve one's ego, the fish is going to remain thirsty. Dissolve the ego and all the thirst disappears, because then the wall between you and the ocean disappears; then you are a part of the ocean.
Enlightenment is a simple realisation that everything is as it should be, everything is utterly perfect as it is. You are part, an organic part of this tremendous, beautiful whole. Everything is in such accord that existence is an orchestra. Everything is rhythmic, in tune. And you are not separate from it like an observer. The observer and the observed are one, the seer and the seen are one—you are it. 'The Fish in the Sea is not Thirsty'

|Founder of Gresham's School
Sir John Gresham (1495 – 23 October 1556) was an English merchant, courtier and financier who worked for King Henry VIII of England, Cardinal Wolsey and Thomas Cromwell. He was Lord Mayor of London and founded Gresham's School. He was the brother of Sir Richard Gresham.
Gresham was probably born in 1495, at Holt, in Norfolk, and was descended from an old Norfolk family[1] Biographers have suggested that he probably attended a school kept by Augustinian canons at nearby Beeston Regis.[2] At that time, England was a Roman Catholic country and was largely dependent on the church for education.
In about 1510, Gresham was apprenticed to John Middleton, a London mercer, and after serving his seven years he was admitted as a member of the Worshipful Company of Mercers. In 1519, he and his older brother William Gresham were both elected to the livery of the company. Later, John Gresham was four times Master of the Mercers' Company[2]
Gresham was in partnership with his brother, Richard Gresham, in the export of textiles and in importing grain from Germany and wine from Bordeaux.[2] He also traded in silks and spices from the Ottoman Empire and imported timber and skins from the Baltic. He was a founding member of the Muscovy Company, formed to trade with what is now Russia. Meanwhile, he acted as an agent for Cardinal Wolsey,[2] and through him knew Thomas Cromwell.[2]
Gresham invested his money in land, buying the manors of Titsey, Tatsfield, Westerham, and Lingfield, on the borders of Surrey and Kent, as well as estates in Norfolk and Buckinghamshire. He lived at a great house called Titsey Place at Oxted in Surrey from 1534 until his death.[3]
Gresham was Sheriff of London and Middlesex in 1537–1538 and at the same time was knighted.[2] He was a member of the Royal household between 1527 and 1550, first as a gentleman pensioner and later as one of the esquires of the body of King Henry VIII.[2] In 1539, the king granted Gresham the manor of Sanderstead in Surrey, following the dissolution of the monasteries: it had previously belonged to the Minster of Winchester since the year 962.
In 1541, Gresham was one of the jurors who tried Thomas Culpepper and Francis Dereham for treason - that is, intimacy with Queen Catherine Howard.[2] Both were duly beheaded at Tyburn on 10 December 1541, and their heads were put on display on London Bridge. Queen Catherine was subsequently executed on 13 February 1542.
In 1546, Gresham was one of the King's commissioners to survey the properties of the chantries to be dissolved in Surrey and Sussex.[2]
In 1547, Sir John Gresham became Lord Mayor of London,[2] and after the end of his year in office he continued to serve as an alderman.[4]
In 1555, a year before his death, he founded Gresham's School (then described as "the Free Grammar School of Sir John Gresham, knight, citizen and alderman of London") in the town of his birth, Holt, Norfolk. Gresham endowed the school with land and money and placed these endowments in the care of the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers, which has continued to carry out his trust to the present day.[2][4]
Gresham died on 23 October 1556 of a "profuse fever", and his funeral was described as "very grand and very papistical".[5] His tomb is in the City of London church of St Michael Bassishaw.[1]
The Gresham family[edit]
It has been claimed that Sir John Gresham[6] belonged to the Norman family of Greshom Levieux; while evidence for this is lacking in English records, this family was only recorded in France and by a court member at Hampton Court Palace during Henry VIII, it seems very likely that the manor of Gresham Castle is indeed the ancestral home of the Gresham family,[7] and a branch of the family was established at Holt by the fifteenth century.[8] According to Francis Blomefield in An essay towards a topographical history of the county of Norfolk (1808), James Gresham, the grandfather of Sir John Gresham, was "the son of John Gresham, Gent., of Gresham".[9]
A John Gresham was baptized in 1340 at Aylmerton, Norfolk, and died there in 1410, owning property in Aylmerton and an interest in the manor of Holt. His son John Gresham was born in 1390 and died in 1450. In 1414, he was living at Holt. His son, James Gresham, of Holt, Norfolk, was Lord of the Manor of East Beckham, where he lived from 1442 to 1497, and his son John Gresham of Holt married Alice Blyth and was the father of Sir John Gresham.[1][10]
Gresham had two brothers, William Gresham, and Sir Richard Gresham, Lord Mayor of London in 1537 and father of Sir Thomas Gresham, founder of the Royal Exchange and Gresham College, both in the City of London.
Marriages and issue[edit]
Gresham married firstly, in 1521, Mary Ipswell, with whom he had twelve children between 1522 and 1538:
- William Gresham (1512–1579), who was the father of Sir Thomas Gresham (d.1630) of Titsey Place, whose sons were Sir John Gresham of Titsey (1588–1643) and Sir Edward Gresham of Titsey (1594–1647). The latter's son, Sir Marmaduke Gresham of Limpsfield (1627–1696), was created a baronet in 1660.
- John Gresham (born 13 March 1529), second son, who married on 17 July 1553, Elizabeth Dormer, daughter and heir of Edward Dormer, haberdasher, of London and Fulham and his wife, Katherine Sampson (see below). John Gresham and Elizabeth Dormer had three sons.[11] After John Gresham's death his widow, Elizabeth, married William Plumbe (d.1593) of Northend near Fulham.[12]
- Mary Gresham.
- Catherine Gresham.
- James Gresham.
- Edmund Gresham.
- Anthony Gresham.
- Ellen Gresham.
- Ursula Gresham (1534-1574), who married Thomas Leveson (1532-1576),[13][14] son of the London mercer Nicholas Leveson (d.1539) and Denise or Dionyse Bodley (d.1561), the daughter of Thomas Bodley (d.1493) and Joan Leche (d. March 1530), by whom she was the mother of William Leveson (d.1621),[15] one of two trustees used by Cuthbert Burbage, Richard Burbage, William Kempe, Thomas Pope (d.1603), Augustine Phillips (d.1605), John Heminges (bap. 1566, d. 1630) and William Shakespeare (1564-1616) to allocate shareholdings in the Globe Theatre in 1599.[16]
- Cecily Gresham.
- Elizabeth Gresham.
- Richard Gresham.
Gresham married secondly, on 15 July 1553, Katherine Sampson (d.1578), widow of Edward Dormer (d.1539), brother of Sir Michael Dormer, Lord Mayor of London in 1541.[17][18][19]
Descendants of Sir John Gresham[edit]
Most of Gresham's twelve children died without issue, but the senior line of Gresham's descendants continued until the early nineteenth century.
The 17th century Greshams sat as Members of Parliament, loyally supported King Charles I throughout the Civil War, and suffered from the victory of Cromwell. In 1643 the house at Titsey was commandeered by the Parliamentarians, but at the time of the Restoration in 1660 the new King Charles II created the head of the family, Marmaduke Gresham, a baronet as a reward for the family's support for the Royalist cause. This title died out with Sir John Gresham, sixth and last Baronet, of Limpsfield (who died in 1801). However, the last Sir John Gresham's daughter and heiress, Katherine Maria Gresham, married William Leveson-Gower, first cousin of the Marquess of Stafford, later the first Duke of Sutherland, and through Katherine Maria the Titsey estate continued to be owned by Sir John Gresham's descendants until the death of Thomas Leveson Gower in 1992. By his will, Leveson Gower set up the Titsey Foundation, a charitable trust with the aim of preserving the estate for the benefit of the nation.
Nevertheless, the first Sir John Gresham's line continues in the descendants of his third son, another John Gresham, who was the ancestor of the Greshams of Fulham, Albury, and Haslemere.
Gresham's School[edit]
In 1555, shortly before his death, Gresham founded Gresham's School in his home town of Holt, Norfolk, placing its endowments under the stewardship of the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers, which has continued to carry out the task entrusted to it until the present day.[20]
The Gresham Grasshopper[edit]
The grasshopper is the crest above Sir John Gresham's coat of arms. It can be seen at Titsey Place, his country house, and is used by Gresham's School, which he founded. It can also be seen as the weathervane on the Royal Exchange in the City of London, founded in 1565 by Gresham's nephew Sir Thomas Gresham. Gresham's original Royal Exchange building (destroyed in the Great Fire of London of 1666) was profusely decorated with grasshoppers. The grasshopper is also used as a symbol by Gresham College in the City of London, which Sir Thomas also established.
According to an ancient legend of the Greshams, the founder of the family, Roger de Gresham, was a foundling abandoned as a new-born baby in long grass in North Norfolk in the 13th century and found there by a woman whose attention was drawn to the child by a grasshopper. A beautiful story, it is more likely that the grasshopper is simply an heraldic rebus on the name Gresham, with gres being a Middle English form of grass (Old English grœs).
In the system of English heraldry, the grasshopper is said to represent wisdom and nobility.
The Gresham family motto is Fiat voluntas tua ('Thy will be done').[21]

Early hair loss problems like breakage, thinning threads, and a receding hairline are signs that you might be going bald. These issues appear as you grow old, and they could be accelerated by fungal infections, male pattern baldness or stress. If you want to get rid of them quickly, you may try one of these effective, fast-acting fixes!
Nutrient Boost
The quickest way of reducing hair loss problems is to enhance the quality of nutrients and vitamins that your body receives. Since a regular nutrition plan may not be enough to keep your threads growing thick and durable, you will need some supplement help.
Your best choice for hair regrowth support is a potent dose of nutrients such as the one available in FollicleRX pills. More info here.
This formula of organically sourced compounds should relieve you of early hair loss problems and sustain healthy follicle productivity in the long term.
Reduce stress in your life
One of the biggest hair killers in both men and women is stress. Mental pressure, whether it comes from your job or your relationships can have a severe impact on the well-being of your follicles. If you want to diminish symptoms of hair loss like bald spots and thinning threads at the crown, you should try to reduce stress in your life. You should experience visible results of mane regrowth as soon as you eliminate pressuring factors from your daily living.
Use scalp massages
Changing your job and quitting some toxic relationships may not be enough to reduce the stress that leads to severe hair loss. You can increase your feeling of relaxation by using scalp massages regularly. Body manipulation serves as a tonic rejuvenation for your scalp follicles, which should produce new threads from stronger and healthier roots as a result.

Oakhurst Olives, the award-winning olive producer from Tulbagh, has captured the attention of the local gastronomy industry by securing a contract to become the exclusive table olive provider for seafood restaurant giant Ocean Basket.
Oakhurst Olives are situated on Lemoendrif Farm in the beautiful Tulbagh Valley, where the Du Toit family produces a diverse range of premium quality extra virgin olive oil and table olives. Oakhurst's Kalamata olives outstripped intense competition to be selected as Ocean Basket's new table olive after an exhaustive sifting process which spanned several months. It is a remarkable accomplishment for the young producer, who only planted its first olive trees in 2004, and testifies to an unwavering commitment to quality and best practice.
The selection is the latest in a series of achievements for Oakhurst Olives over the past few years. The producer's Delicate Extra Virgin Olive Oil garnered international acclaim at the prestigious New York International Olive Oil Competition in 2014 by winning a gold medal and Best in Class award, while the Oakhurst Extra Virgin Olive Oil received a coveted Absa Top 5 award in 2013. Oakhurst products also boast numerous SA Olive Awards. In addition to its range of premium quality olive oils, Oakhurst also produces natural green olives and Kalamata olives.
The Kalamata olive, with its characteristic dark purple colour, is named after the city of Kalamata in Greece. It is plump and fruity with a distinctive smooth, fleshy texture and meaty taste. Oakhurst Kalamata olives are perfect enjoyed as a snack on their own, and delicious with cheese platters or salads, or added to any warm Mediterranean dishes for extra flavour.

Thanks a million!
My son played baseball with his school friends this season (made the playoffs, too, Good Job, Cubs!). I wanted to make the Head Coach and Assistant Coach some thank you cards for all of their hard work with the boys. But, knowing these cards probably wouldn't be "treasured" (if you get my drift), I wanted them to be simple. I used the Cricut baseball cartridge, PTI Enchanted Evening, Blueberry Sky, and Pure Poppy cardstock (Fine Linen for that ticket). Thanks a million sentiment is from the Sig Series stamp set.

score boy bday monkey
I've done it several times and THIS is probably my fave example.
I always score first, then mask, then stamp. I used several shades of green with TANL and then the monkey from TT:B (I'd LOVE the monkey image a bit bigger!! anyone else??). Finally, the sentiment is from Big Birthday Wishes.

May PTI Blog Hop!
Welcome to the May Papertrey Ink Bloghop: Flowers
May is the month when many flowers finally go into full bloom after a long winter's sleep. For the blog hop this month we want to see your favorite take on flowers. You can stamp backgrounds, create custom floral embellishments, showcase unique flower center additions (buttons, rhinestones, beads,etc...), flowers die-cut from different materials (like fabric, felt, vellum, etc...) or anything else you can
dream up!
I used Delightful Dahlia and a sentiment from MS 1 on the double ended banner die accented with rhinestones. Lots of patterned paper so that it would qualify for the Papertrey Paper Dolls challenge #37

Playing around
Quick post... I was just messing around a few weeks ago (I seriously think I made this card sometime in March and never posted it!)... and just kept cutting and stamping and this came about. I have no idea if I even like it. But, here it is :)
I do believe I will start being more active again. I go through waves and I have several cards and projects I just need to upload and post. So, should be seeing them soon!
Life is about to be a lot busier too (for all of us I'm sure!)... end of school, start of summer... so much to do over the next well 3 months, my schedule is already full (at least I have a vacation planned in there... I will need it!).

NSBD Tag into project (post 3)
This is the 3rd post of the day... you can scroll down if you want to see a Masculine birthday card or a MIMonday anniversary card.
Nat'l Scrapbook Day was yesterday and I played along with My Pink Stamper. The challenge for this layout can be found at her website.
I got the paper on clearance at JoAnn's but it is awesome! Shimmer pink with snowflakes and a coordinating printed paper too. I used some old bling/shimmer cardstock (have had it since she was born) both pink and white. Then used PTI Sweet Blush, Hibiscus Burst, and Shimmer White cardstock. The only way I was able to do this so quickly is the sketch came from the Bug Junkie and was pretty easy to layout and I've known I was going to do this layout all week. Adding the tag at the end was easy. (I personally still think it needs something... maybe in the middle; plus the 2nd page to the 2 page layout, but I didn't have time).

NSBD Kraft Card (post 2)
Saturday May 7th was Nat'l Scrapbooking Day. There were lots of blogs and websites celebrating. I was working on some projects but when I needed a break I would play along with Robyn over at My Pink Stamper. (there is also a gal in the PTI Dolls group, Laurie, who was celebrating and I checked in with her too... *hi Laurie*... but never got to any of her challenges)
Anyway, I had already intended on making a masculine birthday card and this challenge : USE KRAFT CARDSTOCK (#2) was perfect for me!
I used one of the Make it Monday "challenges" from several weeks ago (was this the first one??) and masked out the image of the die for MS 1. Then used a gel pen to dash in the outline and stamp in my sentiment. Thought it was pretty cool.
Make it Monday: Impression Plate Tricks (post 1...)
This will be a busy blogging day. I have several creations to share but each has to have it's own post. (because today is personally a difficult day for me... my dh gave me a lot of time to devote to my love of this hobby... he IS wonderful!)
This first post is for PTI's MIM series. See the video here to find out how I did it!! Pretty neat, except I used a cuttlebug folder opened up. Just remember... the cutting edge of the die towards the paper!! (and the ribbon is hiding the edge of the paper since I used 2 folders)

Caring cards
These are a couple of cards I sent to a friend and her son awhile ago. On the top card I wanted to use an idea floating around in my head based off of one of my fave cards from Lauren Meader from probably 2 or 3 years ago. She had stamped the image in black multiple times and then overlaid a popped up piece of cardstock where the image was colored in copics. It wasn't the "complete" image and blended perfectly with the black/white of the card. I've done that a few times. So, with Smokey Shadow cardstock and CTMH Daisy White ink I went to work. It created the perfect greyish background. A bit of color with the pink (bad memory and I can't tell if that is Hib Burst or Rasp Fizz from the photo) and then I stamped the image again on an SU dsp that has a greyish/pinkish background for some subtlety.
The little boy card was fun. My kids and I had a blast creating a card that was just for him. Lots of ideas were flowing around the craft table that day (in fact, if memory serves, he could have received an entire zoo of cards if my children would have their way!). I don't own the double ended banner dies... but seeing this reminds me I want them. sigh... lots of measuring and cutting :)

Piles of fun
So, I just started adding embellishments on top of embellishments to see what I liked. I kept stamping, distressing, sewing, adding a bit of bling, a scrap of ribbon, more die cuts, etc. Eventually I ended up with "piles of fun" for a card. Hope it will bring a smile to a friend.

Make it Monday: Frames
It's the end of the week, but this past week Nichole showed a fantastic video of drawing frames for Clean & Simple cards. She is the Master of these frames and many times I have wondered how she did it. Now we know! :)
I used the following sets: Take Note and Big Birthday Wishes. The 7 and the starburst matted circle are both cut from the cricut. I used Clearly Creative Cardstock for the "Take Note" sentiment (stamped with staz-on)... first time for doing that!! Yea me! and I popped up the 7 for a bit of dimension.
The line was drawn with a green gel pen. I did use Nichole's tip so watch her video here to learn how!

Office for Victims of Crime Announces $512,730 Grant to Support Victims of the Sikh Temple Attack in Oak Creek, Wis.
Aug 02, 2013, 12:50 ET
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Office of Justice Programs' Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) awarded a $512,730 Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program (AEAP) grant to the Wisconsin Department of Justice to assist the victims of the mass shooting at the Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis.
On August 5, 2012, a gunman walked into the Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis., and began shooting as priests were gathering in the lobby, women were preparing a communal meal in the kitchen and worshipers were arriving for services. Six people were killed and six others wounded, including a police officer who was shot multiple times while aiding a victim. Those affected by the crime include the 24 other congregants hiding in the temple, victims' family members, witnesses, first responders and the larger Oak Creek community. The Wisconsin Department of Justice will use the grant funds toward expenses associated with mental health and trauma services, including specialized services for children, as well as crime victim compensation resources to assist the victims of this tragedy.
In 1995, following the Oklahoma City bombing, Congress authorized OVC to set aside and administer up to $50 million annually from the Crime Victims Fund for the Antiterrorism Emergency Reserve Fund to assist victims in extraordinary circumstances. Following an act of terrorism or mass violence, jurisdictions can apply for an AEAP grant award for crisis response, criminal justice support, crime victim compensation, and training and technical assistance expenses. OVC also has provided AEAP funds and assistance following the shootings in Aurora, Col. (2012); Tucson, Ariz. (2011); Binghamton, New York (2009); and at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) (2007).
This morning Attorney General Eric Holder announced, in a blog post commemorating the anniversary of the shooting, this grant and other steps the Justice Department is taking to help the victims of this and other hate crimes against Sikhs.

Signing up for credit cards through partner links earns us a commission. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Here's our full Advertising Policy.
Update: The Citi Hilton Visa credit card is no longer available, but check Hot Deals for the latest offers!
The 75,000 point offer for the Citi Hilton HHonors Visa Signature Card is set to expire on Monday, September 28, 2015.
This sign-up bonus is the highest I've seen. And I don't anticipate it getting any more generous for this no annual fee card.
In my original review of the Citi Hilton Visa, I showed you how the welcome bonus could be worth over $500.
Hilton award nights start at 5,000 points, so you can use the bonus to get many free hotel stays. And because this card grants you elite status, you're eligible for the 5th night free on 5-night award stays.
In this post I showed you how to use the bonus to get up to 20 hotel nights.
Or instead, you can use the 75,000 Hilton points to splurge at more upscale Hilton brands such as Conrad and Waldorf Astoria. Emily and I stayed with our families at the amazing Conrad Maldives.
That said, the mid-range Hilton brands can also be a great deal with points. A friend used Hilton points to stay at the Hampton by Hilton in Warsaw. He said the free breakfast buffet included unlimited waffles, eggs, sausage, fresh fruit, and more. And the location was within walking distance of fantastic pierogies.
See my original post for the full details of who I think will get the best use from the Citi Hilton Visa card.

I'm not ashamed I am battling mental illness.I'm not ashamed than I am not "normal" and that nothing in my life has ever been easy or came to me on any type of platter.
I'm not ashamed that I've had to hustle for what seems like "little" to others and everything to me.
I'm not ashamed that all I've ever wanted out of life is to be loved and valued by others.
I'm not ashamed that there have been thousands of nights I've cried myself to sleep and thousands of morning I woke up in tears.
I'm not ashamed that I don't know how to love and hope that one day someone can teach me.
I'm not ashamed that I may have missed out on good relationships because I know I am extremely hard to deal with and every "great" guy will not able to deal with me.
I'm not ashamed of my screw ups in life sometimes you have to make sacrifices in order to survive.
I'm not ashamed that I walk this earth alone with no family.
I'm not ashamed that I usually spend my holidays alone with leftover Chinese food fantasying about spending my holidays with a make believe husband and family.
I'm not ashamed to be in the skin I'm in. For I was created with a purpose just not sure what.
I'm not ashamed that I've told lies in life but who hasn't? The funny thing is the truth has been valued as lies and lies have been valued as truth.
I'm not ashamed that I don't smile. Not really sure "how" or "why" I should.
I'm not ashamed that I think I am crazy/beautiful. The only thing I pray is that I don't harm myself or screw my life up.
I'm not ashamed that those "friends" I cared for went out of their way to hurt me mentally, physically and tried to ruin my reputation.
I'm not ashamed that I was kidnapped as a child from my country by a mentally and physically abusive woman.
I'm not ashamed that all my life I dealt with others mentally and physically abusing me, parents who were functional crackheads, and not being loved as a child/teenager.
I'm not ashamed that I've never been able to admit to anyone the "true" home I grew up in out of shame and out of refusing to be that typical black girl.
I'm not ashamed that I want to seek help and overcome my mental illness
But honestly speaking, I don't know if I really want help…
I'm not ashamed to admit that I don't think God loves me or cares for me because of the cards that he dealt me so I have a hard time believing in him and his existence.
They say only "God" can judge me but I've been judged my entire life and I judge others…
Like I said "I'm not ASHAMED"

|Neuronal oscillations play an important role in neural communication and network coordination. Low frequency oscillations are comodulated with local neuronal firing rates and correlate with a physiological, perceptual, and cognitive processes. Changes in the population firing rate are reflected by a broadband shift in the power spectral density of the local field potential. On top of this broadband, 1/f^α field, there may exist concurrent, low frequency oscillations. The spectral peak and bandwidth of low frequency oscillations differ among people, brain regions, and cognitive states. Despite this widely-acknowledged variability, the vast majority of research uses a priori bands of interest (e.g., 1-4 Hz delta, 4-8 Hz theta, 8-12 Hz alpha, 12-30 Hz beta). Here we present a novel method for identifying the oscillatory components of the physiological power spectrum on an individual basis, which captures 95-99% of the variance in the power spectral density of the signal with a minimal number of parameters. This algorithm isolates the center frequency and bandwidth of each oscillation, providing a blind method for identifying individual spectral differences. We demonstrate how automated identification of individual oscillatory components can improve neurobehavioral correlations and identify population differences in spectral and oscillatory parameters.

I talked to James Luitel in Nepal yesterday, 27th April, and was thankful he and the children in his care were well. The huge 7.8 earthquake which struck Nepal on 25th April has caused over 4000 deaths counted so far, huge destruction of buildings and houses and displaced much of the population. Here is a record of James' own account of the tragedy:
"I came out of room, there was a huge jolt and huge shaking, I couldn't stand up, and was holding on to the door for 3 minutes. Susan (one of the children James cares for) was holding onto door. I injured my foot coming out of our first floor apartment in the four storey building we were in. The building didn't collapse thankfully, but after we were outside we were afraid to go back in because of aftershocks.
Now it's almost 40 hours later, we are outside and have a little water. We don't want to go back in the house, but have to run inside sometimes to grab things. I am the only person with a tent which I bought 15 years ago. There are five of us staying in the tent, two of the children I look after, two neighbours and me. It's raining as well and many people have no tent, they are out in the open. We have a little food but no shops are open. We are cooking over a wood fire in the empty lot where we are staying and I made a vegetable curry and rice.
Some people are still trapped, in remote places there is no equipment so it's slow work to rescue people.
The big tower in the heart of Kathmandu collapsed and many people are in shock. There are hundreds in the street, in the rain in the middle of the road. Not a single government person has come here or given a tent or anything.
The highway to Nargokot is all cracked, there's a 2 foot hole. In a 5 star hotel, a heritage hotel, the front wall is gone. Yesterday walked to the centre of the city, there's huge damage. I was taking a picture and a wall started to fall down right in front of me. I had to run like mad to escape. You have to stand in the middle of the road to be safe.
After 24 hours there were still aftershocks. It feels like walking on a jelly, the ground is shaking all the time, like being on a jelly or on a boat.
Yesterday I went to two hospitals. There are volunteers helping in there. But everything, shops and all, is shut. But people are in shock, reality hasn't hit yet."

This homeowner had the leak on-going in the skylight above the home's front entrance door for about 3 years.
As you can see from the before pictures, the wood was already rotting and mold started to build inside. It may seem to be a small matter but it had to be addressed asap or else the water could have gone through the exterior walls and potentially make it through the drywall inside causing more damages.
The team at Top To Bottom Construction sealed the primary source of the water where it was coming from and restored the rotten/moldy wood.
The homeowner was pleased with TTBC and also had us shift the domed skylight forward to provide coverage for their front entrance.
With the leak fixed and the skylight restored, everything now looks and functions as good as new.
More photos from the project:
- Skylight over front entrance was leaking for about 3 years
- Skylight frame was rotting and moldy.
- Leak was fixed at the source
- Skylight and frame were restored.
- Skylight was shifted forward for better coverage of front door

A few days ago, my Droid 4 stopped ringing and vibrating. The ringer is all the way on high. Silent mode is not activated.
How can I fix this?
After a visit to the Verizon store, I can now hear the phone ringing. The technician pressed the power button and volume button concurrently and that fixed the problem.

Just installed Open Office 4.1.7 on HP laptop running Windows 10. Have 8 Gb RAM and 1 Tb HDD. On installation, program install location defaulted to One Drive. I changed it to C:\Program files (x86).
In OO Tools > Options > Online Update, default is also One Drive. Want to change it to go to OO program location on C:\ drive. There are multiple sub-directories under C:\Program files (x86)\OpenOffice4\. I'd guess that the updates likely go to C:\ . . . Open Office 4\program.
Does any one know if this is correct and if not, which sub-directory should I use to define update location in Options? Thanks!


text: the pump itself is fine. Only the cups, tubes and stuff need to be replaced which does not cost too much. It can totally bereused because the milk does not go in the actual machine. You could probably sell it but w/o the accessories. But if you sterilized the accessories it may not be a big deal. As long as the person knows what they are getting.

Are you ready to rumble? No? How about hang out with friends, watch commercials, and eat too much? Me too, but only on Superbowl Sunday! I can't say I'm a big football fan (baseball and basketball are my sports of choice), but I have a lot of fun at superbowl parties, and enjoy coming up with ideas for the super-smorgasbord. Take for example these
adorable manly and delicious Superbowl Stadium cupcakes.
Unfortunately, I don't have enough photos for a full tutorial, but here are the general steps:
- Bake a batch of your favorite cupcakes (I used a recipe for silver cake – it's an old fashioned, lightly lemon-flavored cake).
- Whip up a batch of your favorite buttercream icing (I use Wilton's recipe). Divide it in half and dye one half green.
- Fill a pastry bag with the green icing and use a shell/star tip to ice half the cupcakes. Make dots and pull straight up to make grass.
- Cover the bottom of a container with green deco sugar, deep enough and wide enough for dipping the iced cupcakes into it.
- Cover the bottom of another container with rainbow nonpareils/round sprinkles in the same way.
- Ice the other half of the cupcakes with a spatula and the white icing.
- Roll the tops of white-iced cupcakes into the green sugar in one straight motion, so that you get a strip of green sugar down the center.
- Dip both sides of the tops of the same cupcakes into the rainbow sprinkles, covering the portion that did got get rolled in the green sugar (refer to the photo if I've lost you).
- Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips in a bowl in the microwave on 30 second bursts, stirring each time, until melted.
- Lay out wax paper onto the counter and spread/pipe the melted chocolate into football shapes, slightly smaller than the size the tops of your cupcakes. You'll need as many footballs as you have green-iced cupcakes.
- Melt white chocolate chips in a bowl in the microwave on 30 second bursts, stirring each time, until melted. Divide in half.
- Take one half of the white chocolate, and using a pastry bag, pipe the laces of the footballs onto the chocolates.
- Using the same pastry bag of white chocolate, pipe the yard and goal lines on the green sugar "fields" on the white-iced cupcakes.
- Take the remaining portion of melted white chocolate and add yellow food coloring, mixing well.
- Make a new pastry bag with this yellow chocolate and, onto another piece of wax paper, pipe goal post shapes. You will need twice as many of these as you have of the white-iced cupcakes, but you should make extra in case they break.
- Let the chocolates cool (you can put them in the freezer). Once they are hardened, carefully peel them off of the wax paper and stick them into your cupcakes as you see in the photo.
Now just put them on a nice, manly plate and serve!

The Open Door Blog
Whether you own a new home or condo, are considering buying one, or just love to dream about it, the Open Door blog is here to share stories that can help you protect what is likely the biggest investment of your life.
The Open Door blog is published by Tarion, a non-profit corporation that administers Ontario's New Home Warranty Plan and registers all new home builders in Ontario. Click here to learn more about us.

Here's what you need to know
In March, Tracy MacCharles, Ontario's Minister of Government and Consumer Services, released Justice Cunningham's Final Report of his review of Tarion, and announced some immediate actions based on the report's recommendations. The most substantial change is structural: the government is splitting Tarion into two new Delegated Administrative Authorities (DAA). One will continue with Tarion's current mandate to provide a warranty to Ontario's new home owners.The other will continue with Tarion's mandate to regulate new home builders and vendors. Naturally, these changes have left many new home buyers, owners and builders wondering how the changes will impact them. Here's what we know so far.
Nothing has changed just yet!
It's important to stress that these changes will take time. If you are in the process of buying a new home, or live in a home that is less than seven years old, your warranty rights and responsibilities remain unchanged. Similarly, all builders will continue to be regulated by Tarion. When process changes are ready to take effect, Tarion will work closely with the government to ensure that home buyers, owners and builders are properly informed. In the meantime, it is business as usual.
Deposit protection for freehold homes will be reviewed.
Last year, Tarion made a commitment to review deposit protection for Ontario's new home buyers. The current cap for freehold homes ($40,000) was introduced in February 2003. Ontario's marketplace has changed dramatically since then. The price of new homes has increased across the province – most notably in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Recent events have made clear that many home buyers, particularly in the GTA, may be vulnerable to losses for deposits – as well as upgrades and extras – that far exceed the maximum amount recoverable under current warranty provisions.
For that reason, we are pleased that the government requested that we conduct an immediate review of deposit protections for freehold purchasers.
That process is underway, and we look forward to speaking to stakeholders as we conduct a thorough review and make recommendations for change. (Note: For condominium purchasers, deposits and upgrades/extras are already substantially protected by the trust requirements of the Condominium Act.)
This review is scheduled to be completed this year. It is our expectation that the new regulations will come into force in January 2018.
Continued Dispute Resolution process improvements
Two years ago, Tarion hired an independent dispute resolution expert to review our processes and make recommendations for improvements. Throughout 2016, we have been actively implementing those recommendations. Justice Cunningham recommended that we continue with these improvements, and we are pleased to be doing exactly that.
Builder registration processes will change
When Ontario's new home warranty program began in 1976, Tarion was expected to both administer the new home warranty and regulate builders. Together, these two functions have gone hand-in-hand for more than 40 years. We evaluate which builders are capable of building and selling new homes in Ontario and oversee how they handle their warranty obligations and their after-sales service. Both factors are taken into consideration when assessing their ongoing licensing status.
Over the years, Tarion has made sure builders have been held to increasingly higher standards as the building process and the entire industry has become more complex. The registration process for builders has become more rigorous – including the most recent requirement for builders to complete educational competencies before they can become registered.
As both registrar and administrator, Tarion uses its daily experiences of inspecting and evaluating warranted defects to help builders improve their after-care service. We educate licensed builders across the province about the most common warranty issues and how to resolve them – all part of an effort to improve the new home buying experience. We also work with builders, vendors and homeowners throughout the warranty process so that all parties can work effectively and fairly together. We remain committed to this process.
The government has announced that new legislation will be introduced in the fall to separate Tarion into a warranty provider and a builder regulator, in part to avoid the appearance of any conflict of interest and to provide greater accountability to government.
Of course, there's one thing that has not and will not change…
Tarion has been here for new home buyers for more than 40 years, and we are still here for you. We've been a trusted resource for decades, and we will continue to support Ontarians as they buy and live in their new homes. Want to learn more about us? Find out more here.
The goal of this blog is to provide you with general information about the warranty process by sharing real experiences from new homeowners. The blog should not be relied upon as legal advice. For privacy reasons, we will not address or resolve current cases in a public forum, so any comments or questions that are posted on this site that describe individual cases cannot be discussed. If you have a question about your warranty or Tarion generally, we would be pleased to discuss your issue, in the context of your particular circumstances and in confidence. We exercise reasonable care to avoid offensive, illegal or defamatory content from being posted, as well as comments that are intended solely for self-promotion or considered to be spam.
