The Read Write Inc. programme is for primary school children learning to read.
It enables every child to become a confident and fluent reader at the first attempt. Every child who completes Read Write Inc. learns to read fluently and confidently.
We also have another programme, Read Write Inc. Fresh Start, for upper primary and secondary school children learning to read. This uses exactly the same method but uses age appropriate texts.
Using our method:
• Children in the early years learn to read confidently and fluently.
• Older children with reading difficulties make fast progress.
• Children with specific learning difficulties learn to read. The Read Write Inc. programme is also used with great success to support children of all ages who have been designated as dyslexic.
The reading teacher is guided from the very beginning to help the children become confident and fluent readers (the first time they learn).
Why does it work?
• The systematic and lively programme is organised by an in-school manager
• All staff (teachers and assistants) are trained together by one of our trainers
who has taught and managed the programme (no cascade training is used)
• The children read and write for an hour each day, grouped according to their reading level. (Two, 20 minute sessions for Reception children.)
• Children do not struggle because the work is too difficult or get bored because
the work is too easy.
• A few children who need extra support to maintain progress work with a reading tutor (teaching assistant) for 10 minutes in the afternoons to ensure that they do not fall behind their peers.
READING – The children:
• learn 44 sounds and the corresponding letters/letter groups using simple picture prompts
• learn to read words using sound blending
• read lively stories featuring words they have learned to sound out
• show that they comprehend the stories by answering 'Find It' and 'Prove It' discussion questions
WRITING – The children:
• learn to write the letters/letter groups which represent the 44 sounds
• learn to write words by saying the sounds and graphemes
• write simple sentences
• compose stories based on picture strips
• compose a range of texts using discussion prompts
TALKING – Children are assessed so they work with children at the same level. This allows them to
take a full part in all lessons. They work in pairs so that they:
• answer every question
• practise every activity with their partner
• take turns in talking to each other
Read as many stories to your child as you can. Talk about the stories.
Explain the meaning of new words. Most importantly though, show the fun that can be gained by listening to stories.
What you read to your child today, he will be able to read for himself very soon.
Step 1: Help your child to learn Speed Sounds Set 1
Detailed guidance is given in the Read Write Inc. Parent Handbook: Help your child to read with phonics.
Before you start to teach your child, practise saying the sounds below. These are the
sounds we use to speak in English.
We use pure sounds ('m' not' muh', 's' not 'suh', etc.) so that your child will be able to blend the sounds into words more easily. At school we use a puppet called Fred who can do this beautifully! When we say words in sounds we call it 'Fred Talk', e.g. d-o-g, c-a-t, m-a-n,
sh-o-p, c-l-a-p.
If your child's class teacher has been trained in the programme she can show you how to pronounce these sounds.
Please do not use letter names at this early stage.
These first sounds should all be stretched slightly. Try to avoid saying uh after each one:
e.g. /mm/ not muh, /ss/ not suh, /ff/ not fuh.
m – mmmmmmountain (keep lips pressed together hard)
s – sssssnake (keep teeth together and hiss – unvoiced)
n – nnnnnnet (keep tongue behind teeth)
f – ffffflower (keep teeth on bottom lip and force air out sharply – unvoiced)
l – llllleg (keep pointed curled tongue behind teeth).
r – rrrrrrobot (say rrr as if you are growling)
v – vvvvvvulture (keep teeth on bottom lip and force air out gently)
z – zzzzzzig zzzzzag (keep teeth together and make a buzzing sound)
th – thhhhank you ( stick out tongue and breathe out sharply)
sh – shhhh (make a shhh noise as though you are telling somebody to be quiet!) ng – thinnnnngg on a strinnnngg (curl your tongue at the back of your throat) nk – I think I stink (make a piggy oink noise without the oi! nk nk nk)
These next sounds cannot be stretched. Make the sound as short as possible avoiding
uh at the end of the sound:
t – (tick tongue behind the teeth – unvoiced)
p – (make distinctive p with lips – unvoiced)
k – (make sharp click at back of throat)
c – as above
h – (say h as you breathe sharply out – unvoiced)
ch – (make a short sneezing sound)
x – (say a sharp c and add s – unvoiced)
You will find it harder to avoid saying uh at the end of these sounds. d – (tap tongue behind the teeth).
g – (make soft sound in throat).
b –(make a short, strong b with lips).
j – (push lips forward).
y – (keep edges of tongue against teeth). w – (keep lips tightly pursed).
qu – (keep lips pursed as you say cw – unvoiced). The short vowels should be kept short and sharp:
a: a-a-a (open mouth wide as if to take a bite of an apple).
e: e-e-e (release mouth slightly from a position).
i: i-i-i (make a sharp sound at the back of the throat – smile). o: o–o-o (push out lips, make the mouth into o shape).
u: u-u-u (make a sound in the throat).
The long vowel sounds are all stretchy sounds ay: ay may I play
ee: ee what do you see?
igh: fly high
ow: blow the snow oo: poo at the zoo oo: look at a book ar: start the car or: shut the door air: that's not fair
ir: whirl and twirl ou: shout it out oy: toy for a boy

We were recently lucky enough to ask Decade vocalist Alex Sears some questions about the upcoming Kerrang! Awards, Slam Dunk Festival, their tour with Lower Than Atlantis tour and future plans. Here's how it went!
How does it feel for Decade to be shortlisted for Best British Newcomer at the Kerrang! Awards?
Well, I know every British band probably says this, but when me and the other guys were younger, Kerrang! was hugely influential to us. A lot of the bands that I love now would probably have passed under my radar had it not been for seeing them in the magazine/on the TV channel or whatever. I always wanted to be in Kerrang! but I never imagined being nominated for an award! It's a great feeling.
So you recently played Slam Dunk, what's the best part of playing festivals like that?
For me, it's always the fact that you have such a concentration of your fans in one place. People are reluctant to travel miles and miles for a headline show (which is understandable), but if they can see a dozen of their favourite bands in a day, then they are more inclined to make the trip, I think. I love talking/hanging out with fans and when you have that many in one place it's really cool. Plus you get to see other great bands for free!
What was it like having your lyrics screamed back at you all over the UK?
It always takes me by surprise if I'm honest. I always try to get the crowd involved with singing along, then when they do I feel overwhelmed! It's a very strange feeling. It's like, you write some words in your bedroom a hundred miles away, and then you're in a room with 200 people and they are singing them. It's surreal. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but it's surreal!
Which band/band member did you bond most with at Slam Dunk?
I wouldn't say that I bonded with anyone new at Slam Dunk, but I got to see our mates in Marmozets, Blitz Kids, Save Your Breath, Light You Up and a bunch of others which is always great. I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere, and so rarely get to see friends in other bands (they never play in/near my town), so it's always great to catch up!
It was recently announced that decade are supporting Lower Than Atlantis, how did that come about?
As far as I'm aware, they asked us to tour with them. It's really nice when that happens because often your booking agent will submit your music to a bigger band in the hope of touring with them and they may not have heard of you before. I've always been a fan of LTA and particularly of Mike Duce's songwriting, so for them to ask us was really cool. I'm excited for the tour!
What are the current plans for Decade? Working on anything new or just chilling out?
Right now we're just playing as many shows as we can. Good Luck has only been out five months so we plan on playing it to as many people as possible. I've started writing music towards another album, but we have no plans in terms of recording or anything yet!

Considering a case
Cultural values can often seem abstract until we have to face them in life situations. Below we provide a case to help you consider the impact of some of these dimensions on intercultural interaction.
Collegial exchange and extended stay request
During the latter decades of the Chinese Open Door and Reform policies, the rapid development of universities, expansion of faculty, increased academic performance and review standards, and a push for internationalization, campuses have become very competitive places. For many Chinese professors, it is not easy to get opportunities or funding to study abroad. And if there is any possibility, it is best to go to the most famous university possible for prestige and advantages when one comes back. Trying to build these links and open doors is no easy task.
But Dr. Chen was fortunate last year. Just as he had enough seniority and service to consider a year abroad and submit an application to the China Scholarship Council (CSC), he met Dr. Bill Johnson along with several other US professors at an international conference in China. They presented papers in the same panel session and discovered they had shared research interests. Dr. Chen mentioned his upcoming opportunity to be a Visiting Scholar "for a short time" and Dr. Johnson expressed interest in hosting him at his State University. For Dr. Chen, it was a bit of a balancing act, because two of the Keynoters from Ivy League schools could possibly provide more prestigious options, but he wasn't sure he had made a good enough impression on them, so he made sure that at conference meals he sat with Prof. Johnson to keep this option open.
After the conference, as series of emails followed with each of the professors that Dr. Chen networked with at the conference. But as he feared, no matter how hard he tried to build connections with those scholars at the higher-prestige universities, no invitation transpired. In the end he decided it would be best to ask Prof. Johnson to be his sponsor for one semester, then try once he got to the States to go to one of the other universities.
The emails with Prof. Johnson were positive. Details were clarified, and when Dr. Chen passed the CSC interview and was later notified he was awarded this year abroad, he enthusiastically prepared, packed, made his journey and began his semester stay at Dr. Johnson's college. Their cooperation went well! He was doing research, giving a few lectures, having a chance to use the excellent library resources, and talking about joint projects with Dr. Johnson. Their relationship and cooperation was growing nicely, providing what seemed to Dr. Chen an ever-brighter prospect should he need to say longer (its always good to have a back-up plan and build trust relationships).
But he also tried hard to balance his time, kept contact with the professors at the East Coast schools, and even made a private trip there (feeling it best not to tell Dr. Johnson yet) during the fall break, but still no offer came. Just before the Thanksgiving Day holiday (late November) he realized he had no other option but to ask Dr. Johnson if he could extend his stay. He was actually now becoming excited about the option of staying because of their good working relationship. In addition Dr. Johnson had now become Dean and the State University's latest ranking had moved up.
But when Dr. Chen paid for a nice meal out to bring up the extension, he was stunned. Dr. Johnson was as warm as ever, but simply said it was not possible. Johnson calmly explained that the forms that had been signed represented a contractual agreement, the university had quotas, another scholar had been given the position for next semester, and nothing could be done. The conversation was open and friendly, so Dr. Chen tried to explain his predicament, mentioned that other options had failed (carefully mentioning the Ivy League contacts), and appealed to Dr. Johnson's new appointment as Dean to find a way. Johnson just smiled and said, "Sorry, there is nothing that can be done. Rules are rules. But we've established a great basis for ongoing collaboration, so let's drink to that!"
Chen didn't feel like drinking. The expense of the dinner, the good wine and whole evening had been a failure. He tried to put on a good face as they finished, and started to bring it up one more time, but Johnson waved it off and said, "Sorry an extension won't work, but let's make the most of the month we've got left" tapping him friendly on the shoulder with a big smile.
Chen didn't know how to deal with this huge setback. He asked other Chinese Visiting Professors for suggestions, followed up on several of the higher-up relationships they had strategically developed, made several appointments with university administrators, but nothing worked. He grew increasingly frustrated with the situation and trapped. After investing so much time to relate and work well with Dr. Johnson, he felt that no due respect was shown for their relationship, no effort taken to find some solution – surely a man in his position could work out an exception. Johnson continued with his usual friendliness an even threw a very nice party for him at the end of the term, but Dr. Chen found it almost impossible to meet with or work with him due to this let-down.
And it was an even greater embarrassment that during December he had to scramble to make contacts with former classmates to help with an invitation. Finally one who was teaching at a small Midwestern college found a way to provide him a place to go for the second semester. But that was very disappointing as it wouldn't look good to his university back home, and there was no chance of research cooperation. Prof. Chen retreated to the library to find sources for a future book, but his motivation had slumped as the months slipped past. The glorious time he had planned and hoped for in the US ended with a bad taste and much disappointment.
Having been exposed to some cross-cultural values dimensions, which of them or others that you know about do you see operating in this story? How would you describe some of the values that are important to Dr. Chen in contrast to Dr. Johnson? Have you faced any similar differences in expectations that were likely rooted in values?
For further consideration, there are several helpful guidebooks that provide cases like this. This one was developed from and inspired by a case in Kenneth Cushner and Richard W. Brislin's Intercultural Interactions (2nd ed, 1995) (Case 65, p. 159, "Can I Extend My Stay?)

Bryan Rowe's 'Songs of the Soul' paints 'landscapes of personal memories'
Reviewed by Carson James
Artist: Bryan Rowe
Title: Songs of the Soul
This meditative, mood-spanning collection of piano instrumentals from Bryan Rowe opens quietly, but it's a stillness you won't forget. If these compositions are supposed to reflect human emotions and personal experiences, then the first cut, "Redeemed," seems to open with the initial silence of life forming in the womb; it takes a few minutes before the melodies become apparent, as if they are gradually crawling towards the light of existence. When the music increases volume and tempo, it is the equivalent of gazing at the sun as it breaks through the morning haze. Rowe isn't simply expressing himself with notes here; he is painting landscapes of personal memories.
For the most part, the music elaborates on the song titles; given that none of these pieces have words, that is a pretty remarkable achievement. "Broken Bond" has an overall feeling of sadness and loss; there is almost unbearable melancholy in its tones. "Embraced" is appropriately affectionate while "Dance of Light" seems like an extension of the introductory song, its giddiness suggesting a flower in bloom. "Abandoned" is appropriately stressed, even agitated.
Listening to Songs of the Soul is almost an uncomfortable experience because it is so naked and revealing. It takes courage and talent to produce an album as compellingly honest as this. Treasure it always.
Movin' Melvin Brown is welcome throwback to Motown's glory days
Reviewed by Carson James
Artist: Movin' Melvin Brown
Title: Love on My Mind
They don't make them like Movin' Melvin Brown anymore. Brown is a welcome throwback to the Golden Age of soul music, when sultry crooners such as Marvin Gaye, Al Green, and Smokey Robinson healed a country aching from the bloodshed of the Vietnam War with their soothing, passionate singing. Of course, these type of vocalists never really went away, just became scarce and, whenever you would hear anybody remotely comparable, the production would be too cold and slick. Not so with Brown. Nearly every track on this CD sounds like it could've been recorded during the late '60s-early '70s creative peak of Motown.
The title track is an epic (at 5:53!) slow-dance number with sensual bass lines (for the ladies, of course) pulsating below Brown's yearning vocals. "The Girl Is" picks up the tempo, revealing Brown's Motown ambitions with its vintage R&B rhythms. "Smooth Situation" and "Nothing Else But Love" find Brown in purely funk territory without drowning out his voice's bedroom appeal. The production is fairly raw throughout; however, in this that's perfect because you want these tracks to feel authentic, to make believe they're from the glorious era which inspired their creation.
Geresti fuses own personality in piano renditions of '70s classics
Artist: Geresti
Title: Keys into the 70's
At first, Keys into the 70's may seem like one of the dime-a-dozen Muzak versions of moldy Easy Listening hits. But when you begin listening to the album itself, you'll be as surprised as I upon first spin. Geresti isn't simply playing note-for-note piano renditions of Top-40 classics from the bell-bottom generation. Rather, he has fused his own personality in them, letting his fingers create magic on the keyboard. On his cover of the Stylistics' priceless "You Make Me Feel Brand New," Geresti's playing is immaculate, radiating a loving glow that doesn't wear off until long after the CD is done. He's not trying to imitate the soulful, angelic qualities of the original; instead, he's paying tribute to it.
You get the feeling that these songs are personal to him, that they most likely helped inspire his growth as a musician. Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly" is given a jazzy elegance; you don't need hear any singing because Geresti's piano is already whispering the words in your ear. Styx's breathtaking "Babe" was almost unrecognizable in the beginning with its playful intro, but when the familiar melody kicks in, you are swept away by it. Geresti has turned what could've been a generic Brand X product into a deliciously seductive work of art.

Leek & dover sole terrine, red wine lees
A white fish and leek terrine with a vibrant red wine sauce
This is a skit on Marco Pierre White's leek and langoustine terrine; I think the dover sole, with its firm texture, lends itself perfectly to this method. I poach the sole in beurre noisette which gives a fantastic luxury to the dish and the sauce, which resembles the thick lees from the bottom of red wine production, just pulls everything together with its vibrant red colour and tannic qualities.
28 thumb sized young leeks, as fresh as possible, roots and greens trimmed and washed
1kg salted butter
2 sprigs of thyme
2 whole dover sole, 600g each, head off, skinned and trimmed
2 terrine moulds, 1.3 litre capacity
300ml merlot
10g sugar
1g xanthan gum (use very accurate scales)
2g salt
20 cockles, steamed and meat reserved
Nasturtium leaves
For the vinaigrette:
40ml good quality white wine vinegar
125ml olive oil
Salt & pepper
In a large saucepan of water seasoned with salt, boil the leeks until completely cooked. Drain through a colander and allow to cool.
Bring the butter to the boil in a high sided frying pan large enough to hold two fish. Once nutty and brown, carefully add a glass of water and the thyme before gently poaching the fish, topping up with a little water when necessary to stop the butter burning.
Poach the fish for 8-10 mins or until cooked—you can check by inserting a cocktail stick into the flesh; if there's any resistance, it's not quite done. Leave to cool in the butter sauce before removing the fillets and checking for any small bones.
Line a terrine mould with cling film, allowing a generous amount to hang over the sides.
Ensure the leeks and fillets are free of excess moisture then tightly pack them into the terrine, seasoning as you go, ensuring the sole is encased by the leeks.
Cover very tightly with the overhanging cling film. Prick the top to make small holes to allow any excess liquid to escape.
Place the other terrine mould upside down on a metal tray. Turn the filled terrine upside down and place it on top of the empty mould. Put another tray on top and weight it down firmly with something heavy. Leave to refrigerate overnight.
Remove the terrine from the mould and use an extremely sharp knife to cut it into neat slices. Whisk the vinaigrette ingredients together.
Reduce the merlot by two thirds, then set aside to cool completely.
To serve, place a slice of terrine in the centre of each plate and remove any cling film. Dress the top with a little vinaigrette and some salt. Whisk the sugar, xanthan and salt into the merlot reduction, then apply around the terrine in a nice red circle.
Garnish with the cockle meat, nasturtium leaves and any small leftover pieces of sole, fried until cooked through.

The Strahov Monastic Brewery (Klášterní pivovar Strahov)
A part of the Czech cuisine, the Czech beer is much loved by the locals, being sold at a number of venues. These sites have always been recommended to tourists looking for things to see in Prague. The Strahov Monastic Brewery is just across the Strahov Monastery, a place situated in the Castle District in Prague 1. Whoever is in for dropping by the Monastic Brewery could also opt for a tour around the spacious monastery, as it stands on top of a hill; the Petrin Hill, to be more specific. The Strahov Monastery is a delight for all those who are into books, old or new. Such people would be ecstatic to know that the monastery holds over 16,000 books, despite having been robbed by rivals in the past decades.
The Strahov Monastic Brewery was first found by King Vladislav II in the year 1142, only to be documented sometime during the 13th and 14th century. The final decision that was taken was that a functional, large and ambient brewery would be built here, as soon as possible. During the early 1900s, this brewery was closed down for reasons unknown. Only in 2001, the entire place was renovated, top to bottom, ushering in countless devoted customers. Over the years, it has been discovered that the amber and dark St. Norbert beer is best loved by the customers. Albeit a little pricey, this beer has made its way to the hearts of the locals and tourists too.
To get to the Strahov Monastic Brewery, all you need to do is get to the Strahov Monastery first. To successfully do that, you could get onto the line A metro from the Malostranska station. From there, you need to get onto tram number 22 for Poholerec. If you prefer a longer route that proves to be a bit of an adventure, then you could first take tram number 12, 20, 22 or 57 to the stop called Ujezd. On reaching, you could take the funicular railway that leads to the Petrin Hill.

Superficial deposits (formerly known as 'drift' by BGS) are the youngest geological deposits formed during the most recent period of geological time, the Quaternary, which extends back about 2.6 million years from the present. They rest on older deposits or rocks referred to as bedrock.
For BGS Geology, superficial deposits that are of natural origin and 'in place', are held in the Superficial deposits theme. Other superficial strata may be held in the mass movement theme where they have been moved, or in the artificial ground theme where they are of man-made origin. Further information on superficial deposits is found in the BGS Rock Classification Scheme Volume 4.
Superficial deposits were originally recorded only onshore and around the coast where they were laid down by various natural processes such as action by ice, water and wind. More recently offshore deposits have been mapped and may be held in a separate sea-bed Sediments theme.
Most of these superficial deposits are unconsolidated sediments such as gravel, sand, silt and clay, and onshore they form relatively thin, often discontinuous patches or larger spreads. Almost all of these deposits were formerly classified on the basis of mode of origin with names such as, 'glacial deposits', 'river terrace deposits' or 'blown sand'; or on their composition such as 'peat'. Recently some of them have been given formal lithostratigraphic names such as 'Lowestoft Formation'. More information on some units is available in the BGS Lexicon of Named Rock Units.

AU Summer University consists of a portfolio of courses taught in English at Bachelor, Master and PhD level within the fields of Humanities, Theology, Social Sciences, Health Sciences, Natural Sciences, Agricultural Sciences, Business and Educational Sciences.
As all teaching at Aarhus University is research-based, courses have a strong academic foundation and we therefore only recruit internationally recognized researchers and lecturers.
Aarhus University is a young and visionary university progressively improving its position on world ranking lists. Research is the driving force behind the international recognition of the university, therefore collaboration with and attraction of researchers from the international elite is a prerequisite for continued excellence.
Aarhus University engage international researchers in world class research groups embedded in a friendly and supportive work environment. The university and Danish society in general is characterised by good working conditions, modern facilities, and high quality equipment. Denmark is a safe and clean country with a well functioning welfare system. Being a visiting guest lecturer on campus during July and August is a special and different experience. You will have the chance to meet with international researchers across academic disciplines ina relaxed athmosphere.
AU Summer University is divided into two terms. During each term, students can earn 5 or 10 ECTS credits depending on course duration. International guest lecturers only teach one course or part of a course depending upon the subject.
AU Summer University welcomes Danish and international full-time students, exchange students, and free movers. Class sizes range from 20-50 students.
Danish 7 - point grading scale: The grading system used in all State-regulated education as from August 2007 is the 7-point grading scale. The grading scale is compatible with the ECTS-grading scale. The ECTS grading scale: ECTS credits indicate the student workload required to complete a course. They reflect the relationship between the quantity of work required by each course and the quantity of work required to complete a full year of academic study at the University of Aarhus.
|For an excellent performance displaying a high level of command of all aspects of the relevant material, with no or only a few minor weaknesses.
|For a very good performance displaying a high level of command of most aspects of the relevant material, with only minor weaknesses.
|For a good performance displaying good command of the relevant material but also some weaknesses.
|For a fair performance displaying some command of the relevant material but also some major weaknesses.
|For a performance meeting only the minimum requirements for acceptance.
|For a performance which does not meet the minimum requirements for acceptance.
|For a performance which is unacceptable in all respects.
The teaching style can differ a lot from one University to the other. Therefore, it is always interesting to teach at other schools especially if it is a foreign country.
In general there is no compulsory attendance at Aarhus University. This means that there is no checking up on students' presence in class, which leaves students with a high degree of freedom - to be matched by their own responsibility and self-discipline! It is also worth pointing out that Danish higher education in general is characterized by an analytical approach. Students are thus not only expected to accumulate and reproduce knowledge but also to compare, analyse, and evaluate on an individual basis. They must give their own opinion instead of repeating another person's or professor's opinion.
The students expect a high academic content with focus on frameworks and methodologies followed by application on real world problems. The students in general have very good analytical skills, but they have no work experience as they usually continue doing a Master's degree directly after their Bachelor studies. International students may be more experienced as they have different backgrounds. All courses are followed by both Danish and international students. We hope that the classroom situation will pave the way for social interaction between international and Danish students and lecturers.

Since I haven't posted on here for quite some time, I thought I would share with you my little DIY cheese labels!
I'm a huge cheese lover, and spent last night having a lovely cheese and wine evening with one of my best friends. I have plenty of leftovers ready for tonight's meal, along with some warm mulled wine!
First of all, I designed my labels on Photoshop as long strips, printed them out and cut them! Then - glue the strip, place a cocktail stick in the middle, and fold in half. There you have it, an easy, simple and cute way to label cheese for your Christmas parties!
I hope you're all having a very lovely weekend so far. I can't believe it's Christmas on Tuesday...!
I hope Santa will be very kind to all of you!!

In the past I have had an aversion to link list posts. I have picked up a large number of blog subscriptions and most of these lists just contain what I have already seen.
Lately my opinion has changed slightly. I am trying to evangelize within the company that I work for. In order to grow awareness of what is going on in the community as a whole I have started sending out emails with a distilled list of blog links. I figure if I have already found what I think are the jewels I can save others the time of filtering the noise.
To some extent I see those that are posting lists of links as trying to do the same thing. The only problem is that if too many people do it the lists become noise themselves.
For my part I think I will just add a couple of the best list bloggers to my blog roll. Look for them soon.

"Dr. Giggles" is a horror film about a pudgy, mad, very general practitioner (Larry Drake) who is inclined to giggle in moments of stress, which are frequent. After escaping from an asylum, he returns to his hometown to kill everybody in one seemingly endless night. The job is not as difficult as it might seem: his victims have very small brainpans. Nobody ever turns on a light, looks behind a door or walks home in the company of someone else.
The screenplay is stitched together from variations on cliches used by or about the medical community. As the mad doctor removes a bullet from his own stomach, he chortles, "Physician, heal thyself." At another point, just before strangling a victim, he announces: "Reflexes normal. Now let's check the blood pressure." A few minutes later, he observes while affecting great surprise, "Either you're dead or my watch has stopped." So it goes as the bodies accumulate.
"Dr. Giggles" opened here yesterday at a number of theaters, including the National Twin, where the noon show was plagued by quality-conscious gremlins. Throughout the opening portion of the program (five trailers and the first reel of the feature) the screen curtains rhythmically opened and closed, apparently of their own accord. It was as if some benign supernatural force were trying to prevent this jokey movie from ever being seen. Eventually the forces of evil triumphed. "Dr. Giggles," which has been rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian), has lots of simulated violence and gore.
Directed by Manny Coto; written by Mr. Coto and Graeme Whifler; director of photography, Robert Draper; edited by Debra Neil; music by Brian May; production designer, Bill Malley; produced by Stuart M. Besser; released by Universal Pictures. Running time: 93 minutes. This film is rated R. Dr. Evan Rendell . . . Larry Drake Jennifer Campbell . . . Holly Marie Combs Tom Campbell . . .

"50 children from the burning Moscow are invited to Georgia" - Ana Rekhviashvili announces
"When the memories of August 2008 tragedy reappear in the minds of many Georgians, many regions of Russian federation face the ecological catastrophe. The fire has burnt lots of populated districts, there are some victims. These facts do not leave the world neutral. We do think that Georgia has to express will to support thousands of people. Me, Ana Rekhviashvili, says the student of Moscow Diplomatic Academy, - who created these movement together with my friends and other like-minded people, will take the responsibility to bring a certain number of children and young people in Georgia, who extremely need moral support and help from us.We have to do that, and this will be a beginning of tomorrow's peaceful relations between the two countries".

For My Sunday Song #94, "I Remember You" by Skid Row is the next power ballad on the list. The song came out in November 1989 and by 1990 it was a huge success. It made it to #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and ended up in being played at every high school's prom according to Sebastian Bach in interview with SleazeRoxx.com. Who doesn't remember dancing to this song (well, I don't because I had already graduated high school three years earlier).
What band wasn't doing power ballads back in the day, so why is this one so special? Well, it is easy. It is Sebastian Bach's vocals. He delivered such a powerful, heartfelt, emotional performance of the song written by fellow bandmates Rachel Bolan and Dave Sabo. Now, Scotti Hill also laid down a killer guitar in the middle of the song that could stand up with any of the time. It was lethal combination. If you saw them live and this song came on, your lighter would be flickering as you raised your arm high into the air with everyone else in the building.
The song's lyrics reflect a sadness and regret for a long lost love. A longing for the times together and Bach captures that essence perfectly. Rob Affuso's drumming is strong and underlines the song with a punch that helps lift the ballad to another level. There is no denying this was one of the best power ballads to come out of the whole movement. I find it just as good today as it was back then.

Decided: January 14, 1991.
MARSHA SREBNIK, AS ADMINISTRATRIX OF THE ESTATE OF HAROLD SREBNIK, DECEASED, AND MARSHA SREBNIK, INDIVIDUALLY, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT/CROSS-RESPONDENT,v.THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY AND THE NEW JERSEY HIGHWAY AUTHORITY, DEFENDANTS-RESPONDENTS/CROSS-APPELLANTS
On appeal from the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Monmouth County.
Shebell, Havey and Skillman. The opinion of the Court was delivered by Havey, J.A.D.
[245 NJSuper Page 346]
Plaintiff Marsha Srebnik, individually and as administratrix of the Estate of Harold Srebnik, her late husband, appeals from a judgment entered on a jury verdict of no cause for action in favor of defendants State of New Jersey and the New Jersey Highway Authority. On appeal, plaintiff contends that the trial judge erred in concluding that her claim for "permanent" emotional distress was barred by the Tort Claims Act, N.J.S.A. 59:9-2d. She argues that "permanent" emotional distress constitutes a "permanent loss of a bodily function" and therefore is not subject to the statutory bar. She also asserts that the jury's verdicts on the issue of negligence were inconsistent, and therefore must be set aside. Defendants in their cross-appeal argue that the trial judge erred in failing to dismiss plaintiff's claim for emotional distress under Portee v. Jaffee, 84 N.J. 88, 417 A.2d 521 (1980) and in admitting evidence of plaintiff's emotional distress.*fn1 We affirm.
While returning to their Westbury, New York home from Atlantic City at approximately 11:00 p.m., plaintiff and her late husband Harold Srebnik were involved in a one-car accident on the Garden State Parkway. The vehicle operated by Mr. Srebnik veered off the parkway near mile post 103, hit a guardrail,
[245 NJSuper Page 347]
flipped over and came to a halt in a ditch below the surface level of the roadway. A witness who saw the accident reported it to a toll-booth operator at the Asbury Park toll plaza, and a radio dispatcher transmitted the report to the state police. A search of the area that evening by a state trooper in the vicinity of mile post 103 was unavailing.
Plaintiff remained in the vehicle until daylight the next morning. While in the car she heard "moan[s] and groan[s]" from her husband. At dawn, plaintiff crawled out of the vehicle despite pain in her chest and swelling in one leg. After exiting the vehicle she observed her husband lying face down approximately 30 feet away. Upon observing him, plaintiff knew he was dead.
At 8:14 a.m. a state trooper, while on routine patrol, found plaintiff, her deceased husband and their disabled vehicle in the ditch. Plaintiff was taken to the Jersey Shore Medical Center where she remained for three weeks. She was treated for various injuries, including a collapsed lung.
The gravamen of plaintiff's complaint is that defendants failed to respond reasonably and promptly to reports of the accident and to make a thorough search of the accident scene. She claims that as a result of defendants' failure to "provide immediate and/or timely assistance" Mr. Srebnik's chance of survival was lost, and she was caused to suffer "permanent . . . emotional and psychological" pain.*fn2
Plaintiff testified that while hospitalized she consulted by phone with a psychotherapist on approximately 20 occasions. Upon her release she underwent psychotherapy twice a week because of recurrent fear of dying, frequent nightmares, loneliness and depression. She continued the therapy for over three
[245 NJSuper Page 348]
years. She described her emotional distress during this period as follows:
Well, I had some old stuff that came back; fear of dying was probably my biggest problem. Fear of death, waking up during the night with as I was having like a heart attack feeling, anxiety during the night. A lot of guilt about my having survived, my husband having died, not being at the funeral. Wasn't sure about you know, I hope they have the right body in the casket. . . . I had a recurrent nightmares in one form or another of the accident. My whole life was upside down. I was worried about the future, worried about how I'm going to manage. . . . I was apprehensive about running [the family coffee shop] by myself because I knew how strong my ...

blow somebody/something sky-high(redirected from blow somebody sky-high)
blow (something) sky-high
1. Literally, to destroy something through an explosion. The tanks blew the enemy fortress sky-high.
2. To undermine or negate something completely. I thought I had finally discovered the problem with our experiment, but, when we tested it, the results blew my theory sky-high. Bob was considered for the promotion, but he blew that idea sky-high when he came in late to work each day this week.

How to Make It
Sterilize jars, and prepare lids.
While jars are boiling, toss together first 4 ingredients and 3 tsp. salt in a very large bowl. Let stand 20 minutes. Drain.
Bring vinegar, sugar, remaining 1 tsp. salt, and 2 cups water to a boil in a 12-qt. stainless steel or enameled stockpot, stirring until sugar dissolves.
Place 1/2 tsp. pickling spice, 1/2 tsp. mustard seeds, and 1 garlic clove in each hot jar. Using a slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to hot jars, packing tightly and leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Cover vegetables with hot pickling liquid, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Seal and process jars, processing 15 minutes.
Remove jars from water, and let stand, undisturbed, at room temperature 24 hours. To check seals, remove the bands, and press down on the center of each lid. If the lid doesn't move, the jar is sealed. If the lid depresses and pops up again, the jar is not sealed. Store properly sealed jars in a cool, dark place up to 1 year. Refrigerate after opening.
Chef's Notes
Eat these spicy-tart pickles straight up, or pulse them in a food processor to make a quick salsa. If you prefer milder pickles, gently tap the cut peppers to shake out some of the seeds before adding the peppers to the jars.
Total time: 1 hour, 35 min., plus 3 weeks standing time

A recent brochure by Ericsson ConsumerLab included a bevvy of interesting figures relating to when consumers use their smartphones. Data was collected over an 18-month period from U.S. users, who would pick their top three situations to use their smartphone, revealing that 65% would in the early evening, 26% at dinner, and 40% in bed at night (35% in the morning). The data was then further broken down into when respondents would use e-mail, SMS, instant messaging, social networking, internet, GPS, music, and games.
Mobile internet usage was most popular at lunchtime, while mobile music and GPS was (predictably) most used during commute. Gaming and social networking were both popular picks for the late evening. E-mail and SMS was used pretty evenly throughout the day.
One in four seems like a pretty high percentage of people to be checking their phone at the dinner table, considering how most folks see it as bad etiquette. Other studies show that most folks think mobile etiquette is getting worse rather than better, but to be honest, my sensibilities on these things have been warped beyond salvation. As smartphone penetration deepens, I could see the stigma disappearing over time, but certainly not soon. I'm definitely guilty of pulling out my phone at dinner, but how else am I supposed to share my dinner with Foodspotting or check in to a restaurant on Foursquare?
You can find the rest of Ericsson's data in a PDF here, but here's a taste.

We started growing intellectually as well. The progress is an on-going process, how about having a flash back over it? That has changed recently but not long ago. The open ownerless grounds just around the lane of the house, is difficult to find. Games have changed from climbing trees, playing hide and seek to Play stations and idiot box. Rains were when kids used to run out of the glimpse from their mothers, only to get sloshed by the water, make paper boats and race their boats in the stream, get all muddy only to return home with wet hair and bemire clothes. Today the rains make kids to stay back at home as the fear cough and cold. School was the time to study and rest was childhood. Today the school is the time for studies and rest is the time for tuitions. Playing outdoor games was a mundane activity of the day, which has changed to extra circular activity today. Life was to have a nice job and all set for life. Today it starts with jumps for better packages and ends in endless working hours. Knowing what is happening in one's life is distant story, the only story is academics when a child and paying jobs when older. This something we call past.
Now the next thing is the future. This trend is to be followed so that you have a lavishing career. The age for schooling used to start from 5 onwards which has shrunk to 2 years. The weight of the child carrying a school bag is comparable to the weight of the bag itself. Stress was not something heard of before, but now even kids have stress levels. What would happen tomorrow, is the only tape running in the head today. Slowly realized, but steadily forgotten is today, only for a better tomorrow. Let's try to summarize and understand with the help of the sandwich theory.
The sandwich theory.
Lets consider you are having a sandwich, which is a potato sandwich, so what do we have now, two slices of bread, in between stuffed are the potato's. let's consider the first slice as yesterday(the past), the second slice as tomorrow(the future) and the potato's today(the present). Now you would not like to eat the first slice of bread(past), only as it would not taste of what you expect the sandwich to taste like. Similar would be the case for the second slice of bread. It could taste like a sandwich with some potato's inside(today), but then the quality of the potato's and the ingredients added would only make the difference and could give the taste buds the pleasure of the sandwich. What does that mean? Think about it again, the past has gone and unchanged it would remain to your last breath unconquered, unchanged, future is yet to come and would only be known when you live now. All your options are left with today. Today is that would make difference to your tomorrow, today would only make a day to be remembered in the past. The amazing problem is that we are so sacred to live today.
Let me help you with the theory with an example: two friends meet, one of the friend has to depart for few months to some other city, thinking about all the good times in the past they had together, name the friends as x and y. x has to depart, x asks y are we going to have the same fun, all the things we do again, after I come back?(second slice, future) and could not enjoy the time together with y(potato, today). What would happen? Think about it. the potato was not cooked, as they did not have a good time together(it cannot be used to make the sandwich) also there was no part that could have added to memories of the past, cause today went to waste. The taste buds nor the stomach would ask for it.
Let's try to understand some more. It is living in the present that can give a good sandwich, whose ingredients are good slice of fresh bread and good potato's, how will we get fresh bread? The memories that are good are generally remembered, isn't ? do you try to remember the bad one's I guess nobody wants to. The first slice is ready, the good you do today would only bring a good tomorrow, an enemy created today would not bring peace tomorrow, laziness today would not bring prosperity tomorrow, doing wrong to others would not bring you right tomorrow. That is how the second slice of the bread can be made. For potato's you have to live today, to the fullest, put in your best, fear not the future nor the results. Strive for excellence, leave today with a better day than that you found in the morning. Compete with yourself and your yesterday and not with others. The sandwich is all yours to satisfy your body and soul.

Clicking the 1P extension icon in Safari Technology Preview instantly opens Safari and the 1P extension in Safari.
1Password Version: 1Password 7 Version 7.4.BETA-0 (70400000) 1Passwor
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 10.15.1 (19B88)
Sync Type: iCloud
Never mind - turns out I had to change System Preferences > General > Default web browser to STP.
I stand (partly) corrected: I was declaring STP as default browser within the Preferences pane of the browser itself, not the system-wide System Preferences > General. I think it would make sense to alert the user about this distinction. Thanks.
Thank you for the update as well!
Is there anyway that I can use the 1P Extension within each of Safari and Safari Technical Preview simultaneously? I often switch between using both browsers, often I have them running at the same time in my browser testing and having to set this setting every time I want to be able to use it in one, or the other is a royal pain. The times that I do forget to switch it I have to deal with Safari [proper] launching along with all of my browser tabs that I have opened.
This didn't happen with the old style plug-in with 1Password 6. It was able to use the extension quite well and independently of each other, just as I use it in Safari vs FireFox. I'm still not a fond lover of the 1Password 7 mini/extension.
The only way to use it in both is going to be to switch the default browser setting in System Preferences -> General when switching between the two, unfortunately.
yes, that is what I have to do, but as I mentioned, a bit of a pain, especially when the default one is quit and relaunches.
The only way to use it in both is going to be to switch the default browser setting in System Preferences -> General when switching between the two, unfortunately.
Is there any plan to properly support having the extension work in both browsers? I also have both Safari and STP running at the same time, and it'd be great if the extension worked as expected.
@rudy thanks for the reply - that makes sense. Hopefully Apple gets in gear for you folks.
What about the menubar app? That seems to auto-switch to Safari as wells even with Safari Tech Preview is open. Would that be a different case since it's the menubar and not the extension that's opening, couldn't it leave the active window alone in that case?
There isn't a separate application for the menubar, the menubar, main window and extension interactions are all with a single GUI application now. If you have the default browser on your system set to Safari then no amount of Safari Tech Preview being in the foreground will remedy that.
In comparison, I have Evernote installed, which has a dock icon, menubar icon, and safari extension. I have that extension installed into both Safari and STP. Whenever I activate it's extension, it does not switch to Safari but stays in STP. So it at least their case they're able to somehow not force-open Safari when activating their extension. Is 1Passwode code asking MacOS to switch to the browser somewhere, and the only option is asking the default browser? I'd much prefer simply not asking at all, or only asking when i click "Open and Fill," but not on every click.
Unfortunately, after looking at evernote's extension it doesn't seem like they operate in the same manner that 1Password's extension does. There are a couple ideas I have to improve our experience, but ultimately we have a lot more back and forth between the main app <-> extension helper <-> safari app extension <-> javascript injected into the page that necessitates wrapping each interaction potentially with a call to
SFSafariApplication dispatchMessageWithName:toExtensionWithIdentifier:completionHandler which only works with the Safari set as default browser, or only the system Safari if a non-Safari browser is set as the default browser. Each interaction is wrapped that way because Safari regularly terminates idle extensions, and that method is the only way to launch the extension again from 1Password.

Hey Queens! 👋🏽
Last Wednesday I wore my hair in undefined style and I love it. I am a girl who loves a defined look, so falling in love with an undefined style means I am growing to love my hair in whatever state it's in. I used to think persons would look at me like I'm a crazy girl with all my hair out like that but I just didn't care that day. I had so many eyes staring at my hair but it just didn't matter. I felt free, my hair dancing in the wind. 🙂
My wash day was the next day – Thursday and I just didn't want to do much with my hair, so I placed some flat twists in my hair about 10 or less and the next day I pulled them out to achieve this: 💁
I love that I achieved immediate big hair with this undefined look.
The good thing about it was that even though it was a windy day, my hair was still soft to the touch. I had moisturized my hair two days prior to taking down these flat twists.
Are you a fan of undefined styles? I sure am now. Whether it be a windy or humid day, if I'm in the mood I'll be sure to rock an undefined fro.
Until next time,
Peace & Love. 💋

Kyoto: Know where to go
|WHITE CHICKS: Kyoto is renowned for their geishas too
I don't remember much about my initial feelings towards Kyoto. I knew it was a historical city, from my days of watching Digimon (the episode where Qinglongmon appeared) and from friends visiting the city, but other than that Kyoto was not much of a familiar name.
I do remember, however, that the decision to visit Kyoto came from a website when we're planning our itinerary, where we saw that Kyoto was incredibly near to Osaka and hence it was included in the itinerary list. Out of the eight days we were at Japan, two were spent in Kyoto. Like the rest of our trip, we planned our itinerary according to what online guides and Trip Advisor recommended. Some were hits, other misses. Here's our experience:
1. Okay-ish hit: Nijo Castle
|SHOGUN's PLACE: Outside view of the castle
Nijo castle is a palace that was built by a shogun, if my memory serves me correctly. While I enjoyed the historial and architectural value of the place, I don't remember being particularly amazed by it (maybe it's a comparison effect with my subsequent visit or the ongoing construction). We were allowed to enter parts of the castle, shoes off, and observe what's inside (do you know the floors are made to creak to prevent intruders), but most parts of the castle were closed off to the public. Which means that most of the time we were outside of the castle.
Not that I'm complaining, I enjoyed the gardens outside of the castle and the place in general but there was nothing much to marvel about, maybe except during the cherry blossom season. The walking on gravel path was an entirely new experience, though :p
2. Definite Hit: Kyoto Imperial Palace
|BACK TO THE PAST: The coronation venue, if I am not mistaken. The trees and the white pebbles bear an important symbolism which I forgot
When we reached the gates of the palace, both Dawn and I instinctively knew that the tour is going to be amazing. There were security personnel guarding the entrance and we were required to bring a printed copy of our signup form to be allowed to enter. Yes, we were required to sign-up to be allowed to visit the Imperial Palace (we signed up six months earlier) and slots are limited. There's a much bigger park surrounding the main compound outside, but the real deal is at the centre.
We signed up for the English tour together with 20+ people and while we were in the main compound, we were not allowed to wander off. We had to follow an arranged route with security keeping an eye on us, but the opportunity to step into history? Worth it.
We walked past halls that Japanese emperors from a few hundred years ago once walked on, buildings where emperors were coronated. It was a humbling experience and looking at how the place is still revered until today, a privilege as well. Our tour guide also did a great job of walking us through the place, letting us know what are the different functions of the buildings and gates, most of it which are older than me at least by a few hundred years.
For a history fan like me, this place was awe inspiring.
3. Miss: The Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji)
|NOT AS GOOD AS IT SOUNDS: The famous Golden Pavilion
Almost everywhere that we go, Kinkaku-ji came off as a highly rated and most recommended tourist attraction in Kyoto. I suppose it sort of built up an expectation in me that when I visited, the place was not as awesome as I expected it to be. Vastly overhyped, I would say.
Other than the Golden Pavilion next to the lake and the garden surrounding it, there was not much else to see around the area. The garden and pavilion is pretty, but they were in no way representative of what the ratings had given them. Compared to other attractions in Kyoto, I wouldn't put this place too high on your list, unless you're a huge fan of greenery and lake. In the same vein, I suppose its cousin the Silver Pavilion would be similar too.
4. Confirmed Hit: Fushimi Inari-taisha
|FOS ARCHWAYS: Welcome to the archways
If there is a poster attraction for Japan, Fushimi Inari-taisha can easily be it. Japan is famous for its brightly coloured orange shrine archways and at Fushimi Inari, you can find an entire mountain almost covered with these archways. Like literally, the path up to the mountain's summit is lined up with the archways.
The feeling of being here is quite surreal and out of the many attractions in Kyoto, Fushimi Inari is one of my favourites. The shrine is supposedly built to honour the fox spirit and because it covers an entire mountain, the place is huge. You can easily spend one day here if you want to and if you're feeling adventurous, you can try hiking all the way up to the summit too (who said you can't exercie while on a holiday).
Aside from the shrine complex, there are also a lot of amazing street food around Fushimi Inari and the atmosphere is festive. Best of all, the whole place is free.
5. Hit: Kiyomizu-dera
|ABOVE THE GREEN: View from Kiyomizu-dera
Located at the side of another mountain any many staircases above, lies another temple that I think is worth visiting, mainly because of its view, Kiyomizu-dera. It's one of the few places where you can have a good look of Kyoto from above, just that you must be prepared to climb a lot of steps.
Like Fushimi Inari, the whole temple complex is big, but the main highlight is of course, the central temple structure. The view is breathtaking, thought by this time Dawn and I were tired from all the walking already. Luckily they had a cute coffee shop that sits right off the edge of a cliff for us to rest. The architecture of the temple is also worth admiring too.
6. Okay-ish Hit: Sannenzaka
|OUR TIMES: Looks like a place from a Taiwanese drama, eh?
Sannenzaka looks like a place straight out of an anime or a Taiwanese drama. Walking amongst the narrow streets and two-storey shophouses selling a variety of Japanese souvenir and products is an experience that one should have when visiting Japan. There's only one problem: The HUGE crowd. Depending on the time you're there, walking can be quite a challenge. Still, it's a place worth going for the atmosphere. There are also few shrines/temples nearby for you to visit too.
6. Okay-ish Hit: Sanjūsangen-dō Hall
|1001: they didn't allow us to take pictures inside so I kope this from somewhere
I didn't know why we decided to visit this place, but I guess it's because they have 1001 statues of Buddha in this long hall. Other than that there's nothing much, but staring into 1001 statues of Buddha can be quite an experience. I felt awed at the sheer number of the statues but if you're not someone who can appreciate works of art and labour then you might want to skip this place. It's not that easy to reach and there's are not many other attractions around this place.
7. Hit: Kōdai-ji Zen Temple
|WELCOME: A snapshot of Kodaiji Temple
I suppose after a while temples and gardens become a little bit similar to each other. The backstory and the architecture may differ a bit but essentially they don't differ very much. Kodaiji stands out somewhat because they have a lot of wooden bridges and the sights along the route is varied, where you get to see wooden houses, bridges and a lot of bamboo. They say they have great autumn lighting at night but sadly our time of visiting has been slightly different.
8. Hit: Kennin-ji Temple
|HAVE A SEAT: Tourists resting at Kenninji
One of the reasons why I liked Kenninji was because of its historical value. One of the oldest temples in Kyoto, the place manages to successfully blend garden and building together, where you get to roam the wooden halls of the place while admiring the garden outside. There is also a giant painting of a tiger on the roof of one of the temples.
9. Miss: Gion Corner
|HOLD IT B****HES: The geisha got this
We wanted to go to Gion Corner specifically to catch their geisha shows. While we did spot a few geisha on the streets, the performance was not what we had in mind. Cultural, yes, but value wise, not really. The tickets cost around 30 SGD and featured different performances that is supposed to capture the Japanese culture. It's informative and eye-opening, but it was something that I cannot appreciate, sadly. There was one segment where the people were purposely singing off tune and because the show is in Japanese, we didn't understand the dialogue either. But if you want to see how Japanese traditional performances are like, you should check this out.
10. Hit: Gion
In conclusion, Kyoto is an amazing place to visit if you know where to go. Some places are overhyped that others, so be sure to check how big is the place and what they place is famous for before going. Kyoto is famous for the numerous temples and shrines, which was why it can get quite confusing if you're not prepared. If you're really confused, just follow well-established guides.
Still, it's an awesome place to visit. I enjoyed being able to experience a piece of history, through the different sites. It feels like you're part of something bigger and for that brief moment you're at that place, it's like you're able to glimpse at the memories, events and people that came before you. For places like the Imperial Castle, Kenninji, Fushimi Inari and etc, it's a humbling experience.
It's just a shame I was only able to visit a fraction of the place. If life permits, I would definitely come back here again :)
Up next, the even more historical city of Nara! (I kid you not, the city is older than Kyoto).

|Photo: PNB Community Education Department staff and faculty, August 2014
By Ana Maria Campoy, PNB Community Education Programs Assistant and Teaching Artist
I have always loved the first week of school. There is this exciting feeling of another new start, new things to learn, and new ambitions that makes one ready to whole-heartedly dive into whatever the year has to hold. I am not embarrassed to say that I still do "back-to-school" shopping every year!
The main reason I love back-to-school season is because the PNB Community Education Department hits the ground running (or should I say dancing!) at full speed. We have such a talented, intelligent, and passionate group of teaching artists and accompanists whose excitement about being back in the classrooms is completely infectious. It is impossible not to soak up their joy and eagerness. Every year we have different students, maybe different teachers and principals, but that enthusiasm never goes way.

Our biggest program, DISCOVER DANCE, started last week. This residency program introduces dance to students and schools that otherwise have no dance education programming. Entire classrooms work with one of our teaching artists for 3-4 months, learning dance vocabulary and choreographic basics in order to create a dance. Each classroom choreographs a final piece that integrates curriculum they are learning in another subject area. We have seen dances based on science, math, stories, and social studies. The best part is seeing these students taking ownership of their part within their dance as well as an increased desired to express oneself through movement. This year we have 37 participating classrooms, 940 students, 54 teachers, and 14 different languages within our 11 DISCOVER DANCE partner schools. All in all this will mean over 1,200 instructional hours this school year!

- Seeing students (including sports-loving boys!) leap as they exit PNB Studios after a fieldtrip, because they were inspired not only from their dance class, but also from watching PNB Company dancers during rehearsal.
- Hearing a student explain that music is necessary because "it gives dancers emotions".
- Students asking, "You mean, someone like ME, can dance? Someone like ME can be a dancer?" I have heard that from students of every age, race, physical ability, and gender. It is inspiring to hear PNB teaching artists, dancers, and partners look those students in the eye and say, "Yes, dance belongs to everyone," every time.

- The moment when audiences cheer for our students at a DISCOVER DANCE Performance at McCaw Hall or at their school. Seeing families and friends bursting with pride after the performance is also pretty unforgettable.
- Hearing gasps, "ooooohs", and loud cheers when the curtain comes up on the McCaw Hall stage during our EYES ON DANCE Student Matinees. I love seeing Nutcracker, Don Quixote, or Snow White through the eyes of students; watching the audience is just as magical as watching the dancers on stage.
- The reverence every student gives when visiting the costume shop as well as the sincere, thoughtful responses every worker gives when peppered with questions.
- Students who begin to connect with their peers and teacher, understand a subject, or gain self-confidence because of what they gained in dance class.
- Observing our ten teaching artists throughout the year, seeing how they grow as artists and teachers. Their dedication to the work and students they serve is vast.
Two years ago we served 18,861 students and community members through our Community Education Programs. Last year we served 22,173 students and community members. I truly admire how our Programs Manager, Kayti Bouljon, keeps looking at our programs and says, "We did great last year. Let's do better. Let's reach more students. Let's continue making dance accessible to more people."

To which I can only respond in true, back-to-school spirit: Yes, let's begin.

It was a funny site to behold in that living room. Had you passed through, you'd have seen a little girl sitting in the center of a large couch. Though she wasn't very heavy, the softness of the cushions caused her to sink down, forming a V like pattern along the sides of the sofa.
Her eyes were moist, recovering from a good cry. But she was fine now. In the center of her head was a giant blue band-ade, stuck there by her mother. In her hands she clasped the balloon. It to had a giant blue band-aid on it as well, stuck over its gaping hole.
The girl's mother had heard her son's desperate cries earlier and ran outside to find her battered daughter. With a swiftness of her own, she had repaired the girls wounds and went to work on the balloon. She taped it shut, then plastered the ban-aid over it (the young girl was convinced this was the only way).
Afterwards she untied the ballons string and blew into the wailing rubber piece. While it never achieved its large glory from before, it now looked like a balloon.
"I suppose I should be happy," it thought as it sat there in the girl's arms, "But now I can no longer float! What is a balloon that cannot float? Oh I wish I could start over again!"
The young girl was watching television at the moment, mesmerized by its floating colors. The dancing dinosaur purged her brain, flushing out the day's horrid events. She sang along for a awhile, then crossed her legs.
She then sang again, tightening her legs harder.
Commercials passed and she continued to squeeze them together. 10 minutes passed, and she now looked like a pretzel, her body wavering back and forth.
Then the dinosaur poured some water on the plants in his television garden.
That did her in.
She jumped off the couch and rushed towards the bathroom, throwing the balloon into the air. It floated down gently and landed on the floor.
Completely by itself, the balloon laid there, pondering its existence. The room was quite, except for the static of the television and the bubbling of the fish tank.
However, this didn't last long. The girls brother had entered the room. He was sick of buckets and wanted something else to do.
He saw the balloon.
First he looked left.
Then He looked right.
Then he looked under the couch (Always look under the couch).
When the coast was clear he snatched it up and ran outside. For the next few joyous moment he bounced the balloon into the air like a volley ball. Boing…Boing…Boing.
As the world rattled around the balloon, it had an epiphany. Perhaps its existence wasn't to fly, maybe that was only a small part of it. Perhaps it's existence was to make these children happy. Even now, in its fluffy lifeless state, it was making a child laugh.
The boy continued to bounce it along (knowing full well his sister would soon be there, ruining all his fun). With this in mind he bounced it faster and higher. More faster and higher. Even more faster and higher.
The balloon looked down at the peaks of its flight, each time marveling that it was much higher then ever before. The ballon was overjoyed.
Now this was happiness!
"Chris!!!!" came a blazing scream. "Thats my balloon, give it back!" The jig was up. The young boy snatched it from the air, and began running from his sister.
"No! he yelled, "Stay away Caroline!"
I suppose the best way to start a tornado is to take two children and place them in a setting where they van chase each other in a giant circle. Add to that the importance that brother must not be caught, and you get a mighty wind sweeping around.
Faster and faster they ran, the girl screaming the entire time (It really is the sister's fault for screaming, because thats what made teasing her so fun). The boy chuckled as he ran. But he was younger.
Thats being his said, his legs were quite wobbly and unable to stay in front of the chase as well as they should be. He pushed and pushed for speed, but his sister was catching him. In desperation he pushed again, but this time he fell.
That is the sound of a ballon popping from the weight of a boy falling on it, followed by the weight of his sister jumping on him, followed by the the air of the balloon screaming through the freshly made whole were a band-aid used to be.
It was flat now. A mere piece of plastic.
The girl, extremely unhappy, hit her brother and ran off. The brother, not doing too much betetr, screamed, and ran inside the house.
Then the balloon just laid there…
What was it's purpose now?
With a quiet atmosphere surrounding and a complete absence of children, rubber tears formed on the plastic. In the entirety of one hour it had lived its life.
It laid there for days, maybe even weeks, in solitary confinement. Occasionally the boy or girl came outside, but they took no notice of the balloon.
During that period it was rained on, stomped on, and generally abused. The balloon had given up. It was ready to pass on.
But one day a robin appeared and snatched it up.
I gotta go!

OverviewAll students visit the library at least once a week and have the opportunity to select and check out books. Kindergarteners check out one book. First and second graders may check out two books at a time, while students in grades 3, 4 and 5 may check out three books at a time. Students may place a book on hold that is unavailable at the time they are looking for it. When the book comes back in to the LLC, it will be checked out to that student and delivered to them.In addition to students regularly scheduled check-out time, students are always welcome to come to the LLC to find a book when they need one and often visit the LLC to research topics based on classroom assignments and projects. We love to see students using and enjoying the LLC!
No fines are assessed for overdue books. If a book is lost or damaged beyond repair, the student will be asked to pay for the replacement cost of the book.
All grade levels visit the library for lessons with the librarian that are integrated, curriculum based and address Illinois State Standards. These lessons encourage higher order thinking skills and problem solving strategies, as well as literature appreciation. Students in kindergarten through second grade have 30 minutes of library time at a set time each week. Students in grades 3-5 are on a flexible schedule and the instructional time varies from week to week. The classroom teacher and the librarian plan the lessons collaboratively. In addition, these students have a set weekly book check out time.

I tried every afternoon, evenings, and I could say to every hours when I saw you but you always says "no". That´s dont worry me. My illusion was intact and I think that I liked your behaviour with me. Although you never wanted to accept my invitations I was thinking in you the whole day and wishing meet you again. You made an atraction in me that I couldnt scape. I liked your looks, your smiles, your "nouuu" and your hits in my knee ¬¬.
Fortunately, the last day that you was in hotel, you gave me a paper with something written in it. Then I felt that you was with me, and that you had experiencied something as I felt for you.
The next happened only you and me know…the tittle says all.
