Art, for us, is a way of life.
We share our work with the world because we feel that the creation and appreciation of art elevates humanity.
But, we are not just artists. We're engaged environmentalists that want to do more, so it's no surprise that we try to convey this through our creative work. We do our utmost to source sustainable materials and we re-use and recycle anything and everything, from failed artworks and prints to tiny slivers of pastels. We make it a priority to utilize whenever possible, the services of small Australian businesses, whether they be printing companies or art stores.
The health of our community and our environment are at the forefront of what we're hoping to achieve, and we appreciate the support that allows us to continue on our creative journey.
Lamice is both an artist and a scientist, and her passions fuel and feed off each other, allowing her to create and educate. She utilises her knowledge of the natural environment in her art, and uses art to remind people of beauty and complexity of the world around them.
Myra is a graphic designer, photographer and budding illustrator. She prefers to draw and photograph portraits of people and animals. Like Lamice, she is mostly inspired by nature and enjoys learning and trying new things.

Brighton (Brighthelmstone), Sussex
Up to 1834
Early poor relief in Brighton (or Brighthelmstone as it was formerly known) began in the early 1600s with the erection of some almshouses on the site of the former chapel of the Convent of Saint Bartholemews. By the early 1700s, the almshouses had become uninhabitable. Increasing numbers of poor around this time, compounded by a fishing war with continental fishermen, led to substantial increases in the town's poor rate.
The Market Street Workhouse
Taking advantage of Knatchbull's "Workhouse Test" Act of 1723, a new workhouse was erected as part of a new complex of buildings, again on the Saint Bartholemews site at the west side of Market Street. As well as the workhouse, the new buildings included a two-storey, gable-fronted Town Hall (where the town scales were located) and a dungeon (known as The Black Hole). The workhouse could accommodate up to 35 paupers and included a kitchen, workroom, pantry, brew-house, bedrooms and two cellars. Its inmates included the town's sick, aged, and impoverished children, who in addition to performing other poorhouse tasks, were expected to make their own clothes and prepare their own food. The new workhouse, whose construction had been dogged by escalating costs, opened in about 1730 and had almshouses added in about 1733.
In the 1740s, inmates picked oakum, and during winter months inmates collected and crushed oyster shells in a large iron mortar. The resulting compound was sold for fertilizing land and lawns, and for constructing paths in parks. In 1779, they were also employed making mackerel nets for sale. When the poorhouse Commissioners became responsible for maintaining local highways, paupers were reported to have been harnessed by ropes to muck and water carts and used as town scavengers removing animal dung and refuse from the streets.
In 1777, parliamentary report recorded that Brighthelmston had a workhouse that could accommodate up to seventy inmates.
In 1790, advertisements were placed for a new Governor, who was required to be a single man of good character in his forties. In the same year, town butchers were requested to submit fixed prices for meat and suet, and grocers and mealmen to do likewise for wheat, flour, cheese, butter, malt and hops, oats and peas, candles and soap and coal. Some idea of the poorhouse uniform can be gained from the schedule of goods given to the town drapers — quotes were asked for:
Women & Girls Check for aprons and handkerchiefs
Dowels for shifts
Yarn for stockings
Linen for round frocks
Straw for hats
Men & Boys' Blue Honley
Felt for hats
In the early 1800s, the Market Street workhouse had been enlarged to accommodate around 150 inmates who now wore brown uniforms. The workhouse was often full, and others in need of shelter, were placed in accommodation provided by a Mr. Rice (also a workhouse administrator) who charged the parish the rather high sum of four shillings per person per week. It was also poorhouse policy that orphaned or deserted children could be placed to learn a trade with local businessmen. The meaning of the word 'local' was sometimes rather stretched — in 1805, a large group of children from the Brighton poorhouse were dispatched to Lancashire to work in the cotton mills there.
In 1810, Brighton parish became incorporated under a local Act and responsibility for the workhouse passed to a board of thirty Directors and Guardians of the Poor. One of the board's first tasks was to try to make the poorhouse diet more economical by reducing the consumption of bread (an expensive commodity during the post-Napoleonic period) and substituting rice or herrings in its place.
The Church Hill Poorhouse
In 1818, the Guardians decided that a new workhouse was need to cope with increasing numbers. In 1820, a nine-acre site was purchased for £1,400 at the intersection of Church Hill with a minor road which led over the Devil's Dyke to join the road to Henfield and Horsham. A further £10,000 was allocated for the new building which was designed, after much competition, by London architect William Mackie. The building work was carried out by John Cheesman, a member of an extensive family of local builders, carpenters and manufacturers of cement. The crude foundation stone, laid in 1821 by the Revd D Carr, the Bishop of Chichester, was also provided by Cheesman. It measured some 24 inches by 18 inches by 10 inches and had been dug up on the site.
The new building had an 'H' shaped layout, which divided the workhouse into sections 'in order to class its inmates in the most regular manner.' Each internal area had access to a yard and the central section was for the workhouse administrators. The main frontage, shown below, was 191 feet long.
The inscription over its main door read:
Brighthelmstone Poor-house, Erected AD., 1821,
Vicar, Rev. R. J. Carr, D.D.
Churchwardens Edward Blaker, Robert Ackerson, Richard Bodle.
One of the northern wings contained wards for males not capable of hard work, sleeping rooms, an eating room, sick rooms, and a boys' school. Each room measured fifty feet by twenty-five feet. Opposite, were apartments for females, including the sick, those lying-in following childbirth, children, and any females not capable of hard work
The southern wings contained further sleeping rooms, a school room, and another eating room. In the yard were a corn mill, a whiting manufactory, and workshops for dressing flax and carding wool. The inmates' duties included grinding their own flour and making their own clothes, as well as toiling in the workhouse workshops where they made such items as 'whitening' (ground chalk used for white-washing, etc.) ropes, cords, doormats, rugs, and sacking.
The central section housed the entrance hall and administrative area which included a committee-room for examination of applicants, the overseers and clerk's office, and the governor's room which also had its own sleeping apartment. Behind that was a high ceilinged kitchen, wash house, brew house, bake house and a laundry. In addition, there were other apartments for males able to work, the upper floor being sleeping rooms, while the lower floor contained additional workrooms, a school room (probably for girls and infants) and a further eating room. A separate infirmary building had been added to the site by 1850.
On 12th September, 1822, twenty-seven inmates were transferred to the new workhouse from the old Market Street building, followed by a further seventy-three over the following two weeks. They were joined there by Mr Baldey, the parish surgeon, the new matron Mrs Harriett Dennet, and Mr. Hayward, the former governor of the old poorhouse. The latter remained only a few days and then inexplicably left the post. His successor, Mr Nuttall hardly lasted any longer, for after remaining for only about 5 weeks for some reason he was dismissed by the Guardians. His replacement was Mr Samuel Thorncroft, who had held a minor position in the old poorhouse.
A workhouse rule-book of 1822 included the inmates' dietary:
|Milk Porridge
|Boiled Beef or Pork
|Cheese & Butter
|Soup of leftovers
|Milk Porridge
|Milk Porridge
|Beef Pudding
|Cheese & Butter
|Boiled Beef or Pork
|Milk Porridge
|Milk Porridge
|Soup of leftovers
|Cheese & Butter
|Meat pudding
|Milk Porridge
|Milk Porridge
|Irish Stew
It was anticipated that bread and any vegetables in season would be included and adults could have a pint of beer with their dinner and another with supper when cheese was being served. Children were only allowed a half pint on both these occasions.
In 1825, changes in local administration made the workhouse the responsibility of the Vestry. The Guardians were then able to take a stronger line by making it clear that this was 'a workhouse and not a playhouse' and there would be no longer be any outdoor poor relief for anyone who refused to work. This new regime seems not to have lasted long, however. In 1834, the Poor Law Commission discovered that the fare provided at Brighton's workhouse was exceedingly generous. The 336 inmates were provided with three meals a day with no limits on quantity. Men received two pints of beer a day, children one pint, and women a pint of beer and a pint of tea. There were six meat dinners in the week and the inmates were served at table with the governor carving for the men and boys, and the matron for the women and girls. The full diet is shown below.
|Women: One pint of tea, with bread and butter.
Men, boys and girls: Bread and gruel (of flour and oatmeal) excepting some old men, who are allowed a pint of tea, with bread and butter.
|Monday: Pease soup, herbs, &c. with bread; men and women a pint of table-beer; boys about half a pint.
Tuesday: Beef and mutton puddings, with vegetables; the beer, &c., same as Monday.
Wednesday: Boiled beef and mutton (sometimes pork with it), hard puddings, bread, vegetables, &c.; beer same as before.
Thursday: Mutton and beef-suet puddings; beer same as before.
Friday: Beef and mutton puddings, with vegetables; beer same as before.
Saturday: Irish stew-meat, potatoes, herbs, &c.; beer same as before.
Sunday: Boiled beef and mutton (sometimes pork with it), hard puddings, bread; vegetables, &c.; beer same as before.
|Women: One pint of tea, with bread and butter or cheese.
Men and boys: Bread and butter or cheese; men, one pint of beer or tea each; boys, about half a pint.
Girls and small children: Bread and butter; drink, milk and water.
After 1834
Brighton's local Act status made it largely immune from the provisions of the 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act and its operation as a local Act parish continued until 1930.
In October 1834, Mr Collington became the workhouse Governor holding the position until the summer of 1836. Mr Bartlett then became the next workhouse Governor at an annual salary of £160 a year. He had previously been a superintendent of pauper labour
In 1837, there was local outrage when the one of the workhouse died from a heart attack after being made to pull a cart of building shingle through the town and up to the workhouse on top of Church Hill. Local historian JA Erridge, writing in 1862, claimed that whilst poor paupers struggled to do hard physical work for a token relief payment from the parish, it was his belief that the workhouse Guardians had begun misappropriating substantial sums provided by the town rate payer. His town history records (truthfully or otherwise) that the Guardians had erected a summer house within the workhouse grounds which they used solely for drinking, dining and smoking. He suggested that to dispel any unfavorable criticism, the Guardians then moved their board meetings to a Pavilion property in Church Street, and there in private, often feasted at the parish's expense. He stated that the Guardians showed no respect for public funds and ordered new dishes and covers, pie plates, jugs, sauce tureens, cut glass decanters & stands, rummers, and knives and forks, because in their opinion the workhouse crockery was too inferior for their own use. Erridge also claimed that whilst in the board room the Guardians were served by waiters and their menu often included John Dorees (a fish delicacy) salmon, lobster, Norfolk Squab pie, poultry and numerous joints of meat. These feasts were said to be washed down with dozens of bottles of red and white wine, gallons of spirits, and afterwards boxes of cigars and copious quantities of snuff were supplied. On one occasion, even a presentation box was made available to put the snuff in. Such was the abuse of the system, wrote Erridge, that Mr. Hewitt, a Guardian of some standing, often had the audacity to send his boots to the workhouse to be cleaned and polished and then returned by a messenger to his house and another Guardian named Stoner even saw fit to place his dog in the workhouse because he found it inconvenient to keep at home.
In April, 1839, Sophia Clifton aged 17, and Olive King aged 16 charged in the local courts with the theft of a Brighton Workhouse uniform (the clothing they were wearing after absconding), and, the attempted theft of alternative clothing valued at 7/-. Having been found guilty on both counts, the two were transported to Australia for 14 years for this "wicked" crime. At this time, it is said that young females who were deemed to be "less sullied" by the male workhouse inmates, to be sent to the colonies for long periods in the hope that they would remain and become brides for convict labour who had completed their sentences. In Sophia's case, she was married within 6 months of arriving in New South Wales.
In June, 1848, Mr and Mrs Bartlett resigned as Master and Matron and were succeeded by a Mr and Mrs Cuzens. In 1849, Mr Cuzens went absent from his post as Governor, so both he and the matron (his wife) were discharged. They were replaced by a Mr and Mrs Hodges, who remained in the post for a year. In September, 1850, Mr and Mrs C J King became the new Governor and Matron, but they resigned in October 1854. A Mr and Mrs Passmore then took over the duties of Governor and Matron.
In 1853, power passed from the Guardians to the Town Council when Brighton became incorporated by act of Parliament. A decision was subsequently made to dispose of the existing workhouse and its grounds in favour of another new building, together with an industrial school for juveniles, both of which were to be built further out of town on Brighton's Race Hill. The land there was purchased at £325 per acre and later a further 20 acres of land for an industrial school at Warren Farm was acquired at £100 an acre. Plans were drawn up for a replacement workhouse. However, a major problem prevented the start of building work. The Guardians were reluctant to pay for piped water from the local pumping station to supply the new workhouse and the industrial school, so workhouse labour was used to dig a new well at the Warren Farm site. Progress was slow and the lack of water resulted in a long postponement of the building work on the new workhouse.
In June, 1859, finding that Passmore had absconded, the Commissioners discharged him and his wife. Later that month, a letter signed 'A Ratepayer', published in The Brighton Herald complained about the loss of four workhouse Governors in recent years, describing two as insolvent tradesmen and two as unsuccessful schoolmasters, one of whom was said to have run away even after having had his salary raised from £80 to £90 per annum. The writer therefore questioned the Guardians' ability and judgment to ever select an acceptable candidate. The vacancies for workhouse Governor and Matron were filled by the former clerk and assistant matron, Edward and Emma Sattin. This same couple went on to become the Governor and Matron of the new Brighton Workhouse in Elm Grove and in 1891 a plaque was erected to acknowledge that Edward had spent 32 years there as the Workhouse Master.
In 1862, there was still no progress in the construction of the new workhouse at Race Hill, since the construction of it and the 'youth wing' at Warren Farm were still reliant on a free supply of water being found. On Sunday 16th March, 1862, after four years of digging by workhouse inmates, down to a world record depth of 1285 feet, water was finally reached. Church bells were rung and there were great celebrations locally, but it was the engineers that were honoured with a parade, medals, and a banquet, not the pauper labour force. One man is said to have died during the digging work and his wife was given six pounds.
Elm Grove Workhouse
The foundation stone at the new workhouse on Race Hill at Elm Grove in Brighton was finally laid on 11th April, 1865. Two and a half years later, on 12th September 1867, the building was finished at a cost of £41,000. Soon afterwards, all the inmates were transferred from the Church Hill workhouse, with the old building was demolished soon afterwards. The vacant site was then sold off for the construction of prestige housing. The sale of the land and materials raised £42,000, providing the Guardians with an overall profit of £1,000 on their transfer from one workhouse site to another.
The new workhouse was designed by the London firm of JC & G Lansdown of Charing Cross, in conjunction with local man George Maynard. The site location and layout is shown on the OS map of 1897:
The impressive main block at the north of the site, was T-shaped in plan. Its frontage was four storeys with a central clock tower. The building was divided into separate sections for male and female inmates by means of iron gates in the corridors. The building employed a system of artificial ventilation.
The projecting wing at the centre of the main block included a large chapel.
An infirmary was located the south-west of the site, with a lunatics' block to its east.
Other blocks included casual wards, and foul and fever wards at the north-east of the workhouse. In 1880, three acres of land was purchased to the west of the workhouse on which new casual wards were erected in 1885, followed by infirmary pavilions at the south-west.
From 1904, to protect them from disadvantage in later life, the birth certificates for those born in the workhouse gave its address just as 250 Elm Grove, Brighton.
In 1914, the workhouse became known as Brighton Poor Law Institution. Between 1915 and 1920 it was taken over by the War Office and operated as the Kitchener Indian Hospital accommodating sick and wounded Indian soldiers. In 1921, it reverted to use as a workhouse until 1930 when it became Brighton Municipal Hospital. In 1948, it became part of the National Health Service and renamed Brighton General Hospital.
Warren Farm School
Warren Farm school for pauper children was erected in 1861-2 at Rottingdean, not far from the Race Hill workhouse. The school, whose operation depended on the completion of the well, opened on 14th August 1862 when 75 boys and 65 girls marched there in procession from the Dyke Road workhouse.
The building was broadly T-shaped in layout with boys accommodated at one side, and girls to the other. A separate infirmary was located at the south of the school, and an entrance lodge at the entrance to the site at the north-west.
In 1989, Mr Holland, a 71-year old local resident who remembered the school, recalled that it had a high wall around it and that there used to be cut glass on the top. The school's location was then 'in the middle of nowhere' but there used to be a small shop across the road that used to sell toffee apples. The school used to compete in marathons against local boys with which the locals used to win. However, when it came to boxing matches, the Warren Farm boys would usually win.
Below is a photo of the Warren Farm staff from around 1930. At the centre, seated sixth from the left, is Mr Hollingdale who was Superintendent of the school from 1910-35. His wife, the Matron, is next to him.
The site later became known as Fitzherbert School. The buildings were demolished in the early 1990s.

Originally appeared on Sunday Times
By Aneetha Warusavitarana
The law of unintended consequences is a theory that dates back to Adam Smith, but was popularised by the sociologist Robert K. Merton. In short, the law explains the reality that when governments intervene to create a set of outcomes, as the theory of cetris paribus (holding other factors constant) cannot be achieved in a market situation - the result is a series of unintended consequences.
Colonial India and Cobras
This law is also known as the 'Cobra Effect', dating all the way back to when the British first colonised India. The British were understandably concerned about poisonous snakes in India, Cobras apparently being a source of some worry. The solution they presented was to provide a reward for every Cobra that was killed, creating a clear incentive for locals to capture and kill any Cobras in the vicinity. While this worked well in the short term, the British slowly realised that enterprising individuals were actively breeding Cobras; creating a very profitable business out of collecting bounties. Once this was clear, the British removed the bounty, and now as this was no longer a profitable venture, the breeders released all their Cobras. The final outcome of this was an increase in the general Cobra population, completely the opposite of what the intervention set out to achieve.
While this makes for a good anecdote, the economic realities of the law of unintended consequences are often more dire. Interventions into the market are often well-intended, but have the potential to backfire. A shining example of this is the case of tariffs. Forbes recently published an article which detailed the unintended consequences of a washing machine tariff imposed in the US. This well-meaning tariff was introduced to protect domestic producers in the US, and boost employment in that industry. If one evaluates the effectiveness of the tariff simply on those two criteria, then the tariff has been a resounding success; US washer and dryer industry created around 1,800 new jobs. This could easily be written off as a success story.
The Cobra effect on washing machines
However, the focus here is only on the producer, and the consumer has been removed from the narrative. The first unintended consequence was that as imported machines were now more expensive, domestic manufacturers could safely raise their prices, without fear of losing out on sales. The second unintended consequence was that dryers also became more expensive. As a complementary good to washing machines in the US, manufacturers of dryers saw this as the perfect window in which to raise their prices and increase their profits (clotheslines would save Sri Lanka from this unintended consequence).
Taking all this into account, according to Forbes, this has cost American consumers around USD 1.5 billion. One could argue that this increase in prices and resultant cost to consumers can be justified by the 1,800 jobs that were created. The reality is that each job is equivalent to USD 815,000 in increased consumer costs. This tariff policy effectively protects the local industry at the cost of their own consumers.
Why should Sri Lankans care about washing machine prices in the US?
While we can agree that this does appear to be an unfortunate example of unintended consequences, and that it is pretty clear that domestic consumers got a bad deal here, why should the average Sri Lankan care? After all, we have sunlight soap and clotheslines.
Sri Lankan consumers should care because the same unintended consequences that took place oceans away in the United States is happening here, in our little island nation. Tariffs have long been the favoured tool of successive governments. Tariffs sound really good on paper, and better if said paper is an election manifesto. 'We will protect our domestic producers' is a statement that tugs at the heartstrings of too many voters. The fine print 'at the cost of domestic consumers' is not something that is publicised, but it should be.
Tariffs have been imposed on goods ranging from household care, personal care and food. The price of items as diverse as school shoes and construction material are affected by this. The entire country complains about how the cost of living is too high, and unreasonably high tariffs are one of the drivers behind this. Unfortunately for us, the imposition of these tariffs create exactly the same series of unintended consequences that American consumers have to face. The price of the weekly shop an average Sri Lankan does whether it is from the delkanda pola, the closest supermarket or the handiye kade is affected by tariffs. A potato, even if it is locally produced is more expensive than it needs to be, because tariffs push the price of imported tomatoes up, allowing domestic producers to raise prices with the consumer losing out.
Tariffs on essential goods in Sri Lanka can range from 45% to 107.6%. There needs to be a serious re-evaluation of the role of tariffs in our economy – the rationale behind imposing them, the consequences of the tariff (which are well understood and cannot be discounted or ignored), and ideally a faster regime for phasing them out.

I've made so many new friends during this period of blogging, and I'm really thankful that my blog has allowed new people into my life. I've also met a lot of passionate small and handmade business owners, who I'm sure I wouldn't have met without Kitty & Buck. I've teamed up with four special businesses to offer an awesome giveaway each week during February. The first one is this Wednesday, so be sure to check back and join in the celebrations.
I don't want to make a huge deal about making to a year, despite the fact I am surprised at myself and proud of what I've managed to achieve (even when I do get frustrated at not being better - stupid perfectionism). Far more important are the new friendships and connections I've made all over the world. I am so grateful to all of the lovely people who stop by here every day and the friends I've made.
I'll see you on Wednesday. Oh wait, tomorrow I've got an outfit post, so I'll see you tomorrow AND Wednesday, OK?
Thank you, sincerely.

I was so excited to receive the images this week from a Beauty and the Beast shoot we recently collaborated on! Since being able to link up with these local wedding vendors through the Rising Tide Society, the work we've been able to do together has been amazing and extremely fulfilling.
For this shoot, the inspiration was a Beauty and the Beast theme obviously, but the planner, Jordan from Ever After Planning, wanted the shoot to have the feel of Beauty and the Beast without being too literal. And I think we definitely accomplished that!
The choice for the florals had to be red roses of course! 'Freedom' roses to be exact, which is one of my favorite red rose varieties. Large flower heads and a great dark red color.
The dark moody, candles really compliment the moody tablescape, complete with tea pots, tea cups, antique books, and more rose petals.
The cake we made was a three tier cake with gold piping and a cascade of those same fresh red roses, displayed on the venue's grand piano!
The beautiful, moody photography style of By Mari Photography fit the style of this shoot perfectly and I can't thank this dream team of local vendors enough for all the amazing work they do!

Four dogs in Ohio have died of a mystery illness — and a New York researcher is on the case.
The pooches may have died from a "circovirus,'' which causes symptoms including vomiting, bloody diarrhea, weight loss, lethargy and fluid around the lungs.
The rare but invariably fatal disease was discovered last year by Dr. Amit Kapoor of Columbia University, who was trying to figure out what killed several dogs in New York state.
He said it's unclear how the disease spreads but noted many of the Ohio victims caught it while they were boarding in kennels. The virus is more common in pigs.

The Summit of Sustainability Awards
Winner Public Sector Category
City of Twinsburg
What started as an environmental protection program for portions of the Tinkers Creek flood plain and nearby corridor that the city purchased several years ago has bloomed into substantial efforts to conserve financial resources and reduce energy consumption as well as the city's carbon footprint.
Energy management projects that have been completed include installing energy-efficient lighting at city facilities; replacing windows and doors with energy-efficient products; installing solar heating arrays at the outdoor city pool to save 50 percent in natural gas consumption and heated water expenses; and converting all traffic signals in the city to LEDs.
Water management at the city's Gleneagles Golf Course now makes use of storm water retained on the property; in addition, organic fertilizer is applied to the fairways and greens. A total of 4,800 trees have been planted in the city since 1995 to help improve water quality, reduce storm water runoff and moderate temperature.
In the winter, city streets receive treatment with beet juice and brine for more environmentally friendly ice control.
Waste paper has been reduced significantly after the city encouraged digital communication and record keeping. Recycling efforts have increased for residents as well, and the resident recycling programs have achieved the second highest rate of community participation in Summit County.
Many other efforts are underway to help the city's green initiative. The success of the city's program is directly related to the corporate culture of sustainability adopted by the staff members who remain vigilant in their search for efficiency, sustainability and cost reduction.

Quick recap: on a balmy Tuesday night in May, in my hometown of Davao, Philippines, surrounded by my family, Brian got down on one knee and proposed to me after being together for 11 years. Of course, I said yes!
Fast forward: this past Sunday, Brian and I hosted a small gathering of our close friends at the Golden Unicorn to 'officially' ask them to be in our Wedding Party. And of course, as a gesture of appreciation (& bribery), we prepared little gifs for them to take home.

Why collect items from The
What to CollectWhen I tell folks that I collect
Coca-Cola collectors divide themselves up into smaller groups of collectors. There are folks who specialize in bottles, cans, clocks, signs, toys, trays, and many other groups. Some collectors focus on just one group of items. Others collect a little bit of everything. I envy those who can specialize. I've seen some GREAT collections, where the collector put all of their attention into one field, and amassed an unbelievable number of related items. For the cost of just a few "high-end" items, you might be able to pick up a few hundred bottles or cans. Even within groups, Coke collectors narrow their collections down to time periods (pre-1970s) or even by manufacturers (Buddy-L, Smith Miller, etc). So many decisions.
How do you know what's best for you? That's pretty easy. It's YOUR collection. Buy what makes you happy. If you find that you're attracted to bottles or cans, go for it. If you'd only be happy buying vintage items, go for it. I'm pretty sure your collection will change as you mature as a collector. I started picking up trays, and my specialty has changed quite a few times over the years. You'll be a "tray only" person searching antique shows, flea markets, and watching Q.V.C. All of a sudden you spot that
Crossover CollectiblesHere's an interesting phenomenon that you'll see as a Coke collector. The cross-over collectible. This is an item that interests collectors in more than one area of collecting . For instance, a
So, six hundred and fifty words into the article and I haven't told you what to buy. It's simple. Buy what ever makes you happy. It is YOUR collection. If you're happy with it, it's a good buy.

§ 32 and 33. Mr. Crouch
asked the Minister of Transport (1) what plans he has for the completion of the M2 motorway from Brenley Corner to Dover;
(2) if he will revise the present plans for the development of the A2 road from Brenley Corner to Dover to include a by-pass of Canterbury and to speed-up the whole programme.
§ Mr. Michael Heseltine
We have no plans at present to extend the M2 from Brenley Corner, but the A2 route is being progressively improved to dual-carriageway standard as quickly as possible. A Canterbury bypass is unlikely to be justified before the late 1970s.

LDC has been backing diverse, ambitious, mid-sized businesses in the South West and Wales for almost a decade.
Last year we consolidated our position in the region with the launch of our Cardiff office, making LDC the only mid-market private equity firm with an on-the-ground presence in Wales.
Amberon, one of the UK's leading providers of traffic management services, secured a £25million funding package from LDC and HSBC in July 2017, as part of a management buyout to fund further expansion.
Headquartered in Devon, Amberon's offering spans a wide range of traffic management and safety solutions to support planned and emergency repairs.
The business generated £26million of sales in its last financial year, and the deal will help further accelerate its growth outside of the South West of England and Wales as it looks to grow its UK footprint and launch new complementary services.
"This is an important moment for the company. We've always had an ambition to continue to scale the business and provide greater geographical reach for our clients. Bringing LDC on board gives us the capital and confidence to continue our journey and build on the hard work over the last decade that has made Amberon such a reliable partner in the sector."
Terry Musson, Managing Director, Amberon
In June 2016, LDC backed the management buyout of Cheltenham-based ADEY, Europe's largest water treatment manufacturer serving the domestic and commercial heating sectors.
Currently supplying its products in the UK and mainland Europe, LDC invested in the business to support its plans to expand into new markets, and since then has started exporting to the US and China.
The business is renowned for innovation, having recently received its second Queen's Award for Enterprise, as well as being recognised at the Heating and Ventilation Awards, taking home Commercial Product of the Year for its Dual XP range.
"As well as providing the capital to invest, LDC also brings additional strategic input and operational expertise to help us make the most of growing global demand."
John Vaughan, CEO, ADEY
Last year, LDC backed the UK-wide roll-out of healthy food-to-go retailer Vital Ingredient, investing more than £8million in the management buyout of the business.
As part of the deal, Graham Turner was appointed as Non-Executive Chairman. He previously led restaurant group Tragus whose brands included Café Rouge, Strada and Bella Italia.
The business now plans to grow its 20-strong estate to at least 35 stores within the next five years, while also introducing new formats. Vital Ingredient has recently launched the Vital Ingredient App, which replaces the company's existing card-based loyalty scheme.
"This is the first time I've done any private equity funding and we saw about six or seven private equity houses. Simon and LDC stood above any of the others. Good, sensible, calm and pragmatic. It was a lot more pleasurable than I thought it would be."

We all love a classic midfield hardman.
That's why Rangers and AC Milan fans still talk about Gennaro Gattuso in hushed, reverential tones. Partly because the former Italy star is adored at both clubs… and partly because no-one would want to mistakenly make Gattuso angry.
During his playing career, the man known as 'Rene' proved time and again that he was not someone you want to cross. In short, he had a temper that made Roy Keane look like Juan Mata.
So it should come as no surprise to learn that, as a manager, Gattuso hasn't changed a bit. If anything, he's got even MORE furious.
Take a look at the clip above to see what we mean. It comes from the recent derby between Spal and Pisa, where Gattuso is currently in charge.
Perturbed by something (God knows what), Gattuso gets angry with his assistant manager and demands he brings him an item.
Clearly this was not done quickly enough - because Gattuso immediately SMACKS HIS ASSISTANT IN THE FACE.
Yikes. Still, we are talking about a man who wasn't afraid to take on the mighty Joe Jordan. He's lucky to be alive…

Long Term Care Insurance
There's so much you want to do in life - retire comfortably, maintain your independence, spend time with family and friends. But realizing your goals requires proactive planning, including taking into account how the need for long-term care may impact your financial security, your lifestyle, and your family's well being.
Long-term care (LTC) insurance is important coverage that provides valuable support and financial resources that help cover the cost of long-term care you might need in the event of an illness, accident, or through the normal effects of aging. By helping to protect your assets, and giving you choice and control over where you receive care—including in your home—LTC insurance helps you and your family face the future with confidence.
Did you know that:
- At least 70% of people over age 65 will require some long-term care services at some point.1
- Of those who have long-term care needs, 41% are under age 65.2
Women especially need to think about long-term care, because women are more likely to reach an age where long-term care is needed.
- The percentge of nursing home residents that are women is 70%.3
- The percentge of women who are the likely primary caregiver for parents at home is 70%.3
The average monthly costs of care in Massachusetts4 for 2013 were as follows:
- Nursing Home Costs - Private Room - $12,258
- Assisted Living Facility Costs - Private Room - $4,130
- Home Health Aid Costs - $4,745
- Adult Day Care Costs - $1,473
We offer Long Term Care Insurance to our Massachusetts clients through John Hancock Life Insurance Company, a leader in the industry. John Hancock currently offers the Custom Care III product policy, which offers a broad set of built-in benefits and optional features that enable you to build a policy to suit your specific needs and budget.
A long-term care insurance policy helps protect your assets by providing you with a pool of money to help cover the cost of care. You have the ability to choose where to receive care. You can take comfort in knowing that the policy covers care in a wide range of settings, such as Adult Day Care, Home Health Care, Assisted Living Facilities, Nursing Homes, and Hospice Care. And most importantly, having a policy may reduce the burden of care that may often fall on family members.

If I was writing a summary of 2014, I would say it was a year of tears.
Up until this year, I didn't cry much. A little moisture around the eyes in the dark at some movies mostly. This year, that changed.
I have cried from despair, loss, frustration, more loss – and joy, a deep feeling of connection. I have cried when I felt divine love flowing through me and could not contain it.
It's all good, these tears. Cleansing. Opening. I'm ok with it.
I grew up thinking that guys don't cry. Heck, my mother didn't even cry. She would get frustrated with herself when she couldn't hide her emotions.
2014 was a hard year. I don't know if the tears helped me cope or heal. I do know that there was absolutely no holding them back.

Google Chrome goes HTTPS crazy. Non encrypted sites now show warning.
Google updated chrome to warn non HTTPS users.
Chrome has been updated!! Even the look/feel "feels" different.. A slightly bigger tab bar now?
It appears that Google have updated their Chrome web-browser to show a small warning for non encrypted websites ( Such as this… Its being fixed.. Honest.. )
To be fair, there really isn't a reason for not using HTTPS/SSL on a website now. With solutions such as Lets Encrypt offering free SSL certs, Why wouldn't you?
When browsing a non HTTP website such as this, you get a small exclamation mark next to the site:
As you can see, Google Chrome now shows a small warning showing that it isn't using https. I guess this is a thing to come.. Maybe they will show a red warning soon?
While, when you use a HTTPs enabled website, you get a simple looking green padlock showing all is well in the world. (Apart from the broken SSL problem no one talks about)
One example of a good SSL enabled website is IMsupporting.com These guys offer live chat software so having that data encrypted is a must. Google Chrome clearly shows this.
All in all, I am happy Google have made these changes. Its a step forward into a better more secure internet.
Hopefully everyone will be using HTTPS soon and you never know, they may even be hosted on IPv6 webhosts!

Rolling Stone Magazine's been throwing F-Bombs like Eva Perron cast roses from her balcony to her starry eyed supporters and no one's up in arms about it! Tons of F-Bombs are flying' and its pissing me off. I think i can use that word in light of the more firery expletives being flung by the good folks at Rolling Stone. For one, as a writer, I toil over words, good words, intelligent words. I believe in the power of words and I loved Rolling Stone for appreciating them, pushing them & using them creatively in a sometimes investigative manner.
RS seems to have started this love affair with the F-Bomb a few years back and in the last year or so, this love affair has gotten hot & heavy. RS, nowadays usually locked and loaded, spews the expletives ad nauseum. Personally. I won't read RS any more, and I've been an avid reader for the last 22 years! I was too young to read early Hunter Thompson, aware enough to read later Hunter & all the greats of the late 70's to current. Through their gonzo hey day & eclectic reporting of the 80's & 90's I was always enthralled practically cover to cover. I later accepted their descent into Hollywood adoration, but soldiered on. I kept reading. I can't help but wonder now, about this literary F-bomb thing. Is it purely to look cool & rebellious? Good writing accomplished this in the past!
The all too common RS F-Bomb phenomenon smacks of a totally tired & transparent attempt 2 relate to 20 somethings whom it has been proven use one "F-Bomb" for every 2 minutes of speech.
Jann Werner, the publisher / owner of Rolling Stone did order a re-vamp of the publication in the 1990's in order to speak to younger readership.
Did a memo go out?…"Attention writers: were looking more "grandpa" & more "woosie" by the minute (even with our late 90's revamp that cut out U2 & you know, "Old people's music" like R.E.M & the like)…Isn't working… So let's leave anything older than 1999 in the dust & oh! Hey!!!! anywhere u can work in more F-Bomb's drop away! "
So the virus spreads… I guess Hollywood's "A" list has latched onto this cool new marketing tactic too! Case in point, tonight's Academy Awards!
Marketers say its a way to affiliate with the young. guard against a slow and sure landslide into dullness & mediocrity. Is a transparent move toward "bruiserish under-thought coarse language" a way to impress or win over the youth of today? Rolling Stone, the youth of today are smarter than the parts of their language and they should be up in arms over how you have decided to communicate with them. Rolling Stone, you may well have collected lexicological data on your target market, but they want you to be better than that. Its the classic do as I say, not as I do, that will keep you elevated in their eyes. Not some thinly shrouded attempt at expletive affiliation.

Enda Stevens extends Doncaster loan stay
Initially signing for the South Yorkshire club in early November on a month-long loan deal, Enda Stevens has extended his stay at Keepmoat Stadium through to January.
In quotes reported by the Yorkshire Post, Rovers manager Paul Dickov spoke of his eagerness to keep the young Irish full-back at his disposal beyond the initial month-long loan that was agreed upon last month.
Dickov said: "We have spoken to Aston Villa. His loan runs out on Monday, but hopefully he will sign the forms today or tomorrow."
Being his second loan spell at Keepmoat Stadium, Stevens made 14 appearances for the League One side last season and has earned a starting berth in the last five games for the Vikings.
An acquisition by former Villa manager Alex Mcleish in August of 2011 from Irish outfit Shamrock Rovers, Stevens has only made a handful of appearances for the senior squad, making his debut in November 2012 in a 1-0 win against Sunderland.
Chosen behind the likes of Eric Lichaj and Joe Bennett in recent season, Stevens predominately plied his trade for the reserve squad at Villa. Seeking first-team opportunities elsewhere, he has had a loan spell at Notts County and also spent time at Northampton Town earlier this season, together with his two spells at Doncaster Rovers.
With his fitness currently under assessment, Stevens looks set to miss Saturday's FA Cup tie against Oldham Athletic at Boundary Park.
The 24-year-old will be hoping to be back in contention as soon as possible to continue his run of consecutive starts for the Rovers, and with his contract at Villa drawing closer to its conclusion, he will surely be looking to make an impact to possibly secure a permanent move to the Keepmoat Stadium.News Now - Sport News

The holiday season can be a time of stress and overstimulation for many people. From running to catch a plane (in order to sit in an uncomfortable position for five hours) to, meet up with family members who might send us into a Red Light Reflex, to carrying heavy bags of groceries (or presents!) in from your car. Perhaps the stress of holiday preparation sends us into a Green Light Reflex as we rush from task to task. And even if that isn't our exact experience, we all know someone for whom that rings closer to true than not.
But the holidays don't have to cause us to unconsciously respond both emotionally and physically from our "default mode," whether that is to "get things done now!" (Green Light), or avoid that which we don't want to deal with (Red Light). The holiday season can and should be a time where we release the tightness and stiff uprightness that our jobs or other day-to-day obligations demand. Somatics can help us through the season so we can be more present to ourselves and those around us.
When you pandiculate, you create new neural pathways of awareness, sensation, and motor control in your brain. It is from these pathways of thought, feeling and action that we live and respond to ourselves and those around us.
Try this in your daily Somatics practice:
Ask yourself, "what can I let go of that I don't need to be doing this movement?" By practicing this you will discover which areas let go to aid in the movement and which areas contract to "do" the movement.
- If you tend to rush and do everything for everyone, try adding the Back Lift to your daily practice. Move in and out of the movement with two full breath cycles, yawning as you do so. Take a full resting breath in between each repetition.
- If you feel emotionally stressed, make the Flower a movement you do on the floor, in a chair, or even sitting on the airplane. Again, use two breaths to move in and out of the movement for a more spacious experience.
- The Washrag is an excellent movement for "wringing out your whole self" and finding soft length and relaxation. Make your Soma Scan at the end of your practice longer.
Sense yourself in the present and take that inner awareness into your holidays and know that everyone you meet is moving towards a similar desire to feel good, both inside and out during this wonderful time of year.

CHILI CON CURLY is a band of roots, funk and electric Latin beats, originally formed by two South American musicians from different musical backgrounds and projects; Miguel De la Mata (Vocals, Guitar, FXS) and Oscar Letelier (Vocals, Drums, Loops, Percussion).
Their original idea is to create an artistic and cultural approach by playing contemporary latin music in a unique way. This experimental noise artists, challenge your lobes by blending familiar drum machine beats with the very unfamiliar, collecting their latin background on samples to create vast dancing soundscapes.
A band that offers huge entertainment and spread the Latin American flavour with great musicality. Perfect for small/medium bars, corporate parties and weddings.
Just wanted to send a testimonial for Oscar Leteliar "Chili Con Curly" who played at our 60th birthday on Saturday the 26th of October. Oscar was absolutely fantastic and blew everyone away. He adapted the music selection perfectly for the crowd and the vibe couldn't have been better. Everyone couldn't stop complimenting his performance and style throughout the evening. Cannot recommend him more!Kyle, Private Function – October 2019

hi Barnali! hope u r doing good! a 4 year old gets angry and hits people. please try and find out the underlying cause. what is the trigger that provokes her to do so? why is that she isn't able to communicate her feelings verbally and has to resort to hitting? is her language completely developed? has she been always like this or this has been a recent change? if yes, what do u think could be the cause of this change? is it less attention being given to her or she is being nagged , or the focus has shifted to the younger sibling? please make sure u spend quality time with her, praise her a lot and let her know every now and then how much u love her, how special she is to u, hug her often. avoid doing what she doesn't like if possible, and understand her better. Barnali the answers to these questions will help u trace the underlying issue. please bring a change in your behavior towards your child, be more polite and considerate towards her and see the change. hope this helps!

I am a newbie at I.P. blocking.
Using Murus, I want to block a certain range of I.P. addresses: 86.x.x.152 to 86.x.x.159
I know I can block an entire range, as in: 220.127.116.11/8
How do I block the more limited range in Murus ? That is, what is the proper specification for this range— for inclusion in my certain Blocked Group ?
(I guess I could write each one manually. This is a limited number, I know.)

Redskins Hold Down Hays
KSCB News - October 7, 2011 6:43 am
Don't look now, but that much beleagured Redskin soccer defense has allowed one goal in the past three games. Yesterday, the defense held Hays scoreless in a 2-0 Redskin win Thursday afternoon at Redskin Field. Buoyed by a wind gusting up to 49 miles per hour, Hays had the wind at their backs for the second half after the Redskins took advantage of the wind with two first half goals. But Liberal goalkeeper Ricardo Castro and the defense held Hays at bay in the second half.
Jose Covarrubias found Eduardo Moreno for the first goal into that north net at the 35:18 mark before Esteban Michel scored with 9:27 to play in the first half with an assist from Isai Gutierrez. Liberal had several second half chances to score against the win but could not.
Liberal has won four straight and is 6-5 overall and 4-2 in the WAC. The Redskins compete at the Wichita North Cup beginning Monday.

Sweet As Apple Pie

This looks so cute! I love your cup, the print looks gorgeous and it works really well on your nails! The Apple Pie polish looks great too, I only own mint shades that are pastel-ish and not very bright so this is a nice change :)ReplyDeleteReplies
I have a la-hot of mint greens too and this one is quite different from the rest as it is bright but not overly so. This photo has no filter either so it is actually that colour. Emma.xDelete

Charlie's Angel
By Danish Siddiqui
After an excruciatingly long 15-hour journey from Mumbai, I stepped out of the car outside Adipur train station and found two children waiting to welcome me with flowers. Both were wearing bowler hats and had t-shirts depicting the silent film star Charlie Chaplin. Of course, I was yet to meet the town's biggest Chaplin fan.
Adipur, a small town in the western Indian state of Gujarat was only famous for its salt pans until Ashok Aswani started living like Charlie Chaplin. A practitioner of indigenous medicine by profession, Aswani has been celebrating Charlie Chaplin's birthday on April 16 with his fan club for the past 39 years. He even holds a candlelight vigil and a prayer meeting on the legend's death anniversary on December 25.
Aswani turned a die-hard fan of Chaplin's after watching his film The Gold Rush in a nearby cinema. The film cost him his job as a type-writer. He didn't go to work that day and spent the entire time watching the same film over and over again.
Aswani told me he was so impressed by Charlie Chaplin that he started following his lifestyle. The 63-year-old started a unique fan club called Charlie Circle. It now boasts more than 200 members including men, women and children. The oldest member of the club is 75 years of age and walks with the help of a walker. The youngest is Aswani's grandson, all of just three.
The bedroom in Aswani's home has a huge poster of him posing as Charlie Chaplin on a wall, while his prayer room has a statue of Chaplin alongside those of Hindu Gods. Aswani, who suffers from multiple arthritis, practices physiotherapy with the help of his son everyday, but that doesn't deter him from walking or posing like Charlie Chaplin on the streets, or as in my photo shoot, at a salt pan.
I spent three days with Aswani in his house, at his clinic, at his friends' shops, and quite often I found him referring to Chaplin films in his conversations with the people he met. He seemed to have memorized every scene of Charlie Chaplin's numerous films. Just a mention of a scene from any Chaplin film, and Aswani's face lit up; excited like a child.
In all the time I spent with Ashok Aswani, I never once caught him frowning. Whenever he went out on the streets, every few meters people would stop and shake his hand or touch his feet, as a mark of respect.
At his clinic, Aswani would hand out Charlie Chaplin film copies to his patients to cheer them up.
I couldn't help but ask the die-hard Chaplin film fan for his favorite piece of dialogue. "I always like walking in the rain, so no one can see me crying," said the medical practitioner as he smiled. I smiled back.

Aswani looks more like Oliver and/or Hardy than Charlie Chaplin! Alert Robert Downey, Jr. about this upstart.
Hey Danish…
Nice story man. loved the way you cover this whole topic. I am Nishit Jadawala, a documentary film maker from Ahmedabad. I am looking for Dr. Aswani's contact number. Actually I want to shoot his live in action with his group on this 16th April. If you can give me his contact details, it will be a great help. Its little bit of urgent. If you have the details, please send me on firstname.lastname@example.com

Americans tend to smile more than Ukrainians, generally speaking. It's a cultural difference that can lead to Americans deciding that Ukrainians are dour, and (I'd guess) Ukrainians thinking Americans are worryingly chipper.

Russian cultural signals she can do, probably Polish too, but American and Mexican ones she'd have to get used to. :P

The buzz of traffic on Clarks Summit's busy West Grove Street doesn't really bother Phil and Lois Dettore.
They like to think of their two-story colonial and its surrounding decks and gardens as an oasis in the center of a borough that has developed around them over the course of their lives.
The couple has lived in the home for almost 49 years, though Mr. Dettore's history in town goes back even further. A first-generation American, his parents came from Italy and taught him everything he knows about growing. They were farmers who sold vegetables and had livestock nearby, back when Clarks Summit was mostly large tracts of land just a few families owned.
Throughout the decades, the Dettores have re-imagined their property into a cozy, well-landscaped home perfect for entertaining outdoors.
"It's a great party house," Mr. Dettore said. "When you're down on the patio, you can't even hear the traffic."
"When we first moved in, it was only a front door, no garden," Mrs. Dettore said. "The people who owned it were very simple. I've been prettying it up ever since."
"From the chimney top to the bottom of the basement," Mr. Dettore chimed in. "People gawk at this house. It's an old house, but it's nice."
The outer decor has a distinctly Mediterranean feel, thanks to the royal blue awnings, umbrellas and shutters that shadow the white furniture and exterior of the house. Numerous yellow, gold and red flowers — including geraniums, marigolds,
begonias and peonies — accent the palette.
Large pink rhododendron bushes give a burst of color, as do the arrangements of lobelia on the front porch next to the Dettores' rockers, where they pass many evenings together. Large pots of herbs like parsley, mint, basil, rosemary and oregano contribute to Mrs. Dettore's cooking.
"It's perfect for fresh tomato and cucumber salads," she said. "Basil is wonderful on almost anything, but rosemary only on chicken for him."
A sloping bank next to the house is home to a cascade of greenery that includes ivy, ferns and pachysandra, which provide "wonderful groundcover," Mrs. Dettore said. Her husband, now retired from construction and various other pursuits, built the stone wall that reigns it all in a day and a half.
"He works darn hard," Mrs. Dettore said. "We're a good working team. We both work hard."
Many of the plants around the home have sentimental value, especially for Mr. Dettore, his wife said. Tiger lilies, bleeding heart, Johnny-jump up violas and lovely rose of Sharon add to the beauty of the yard and hold memories of friends and family who have passed.
An outdoor fireplace on the lower patio, far removed from the street, and small sitting areas all around the house give this oasis a private, homey feel.
The work is never done, the Dettores noted, as they usually find some part of the garden they need to tear up and redo every couple of years.
"We go from one project to another," said Mrs. Dettore, an office manager at Summit Dental Associates. "But it's fun."
Despite the labor-intensive needs of their garden, the couple enjoys toiling away and receiving compliments from neighbors and passersby who admire the color and beauty they provide. The home they have cultivated feels like an escape when they disappear into the garden, they said.
"It's restful and peaceful," Mrs. Dettore said. "It's about being a nice little resort.
"It's a lot of work, and people think I'm crazy because I try to keep it as tidy as my home," she added with a laugh.
Their postcard-pretty garden certainly looks that way.

Tip: "I think Miracle-Gro is fantastic," Mrs. Dettore said. "I've joked for years that the lawn eats just as good as we do."

I understand that losing weight and gaining muscle can be challenging, and sometimes can make you feel as if you're just spinning your wheels.
I take your individuality into consideration, listen, and create a training program that fits your life while teaching you nutrition that is strict, flexible and has no food restrictions.
In my coaching, I dive deep with those who are willing to go.
With that diving deep, I help my clients see how powerful they are which translates into them crushing thier diet and training as well as expands their minds and hearts, creating more awareness and higher performance in other areas of life.
Coaching with Lazarus Ross has changed my life and mindset.
Not only do I feel the best I ever have in my life physically, but mentally as well. And that to me is what has made all the difference and is what matters most.
I see things so differently, my outlook on life is more positive than it ever has been and I can see my life filled with such incredible relationships. I have more energy and wake up every day excited for what the day will bring with whatever is going on in my life.
I have never felt better about where my life is going, and I am so excited to continue with his guidance and coaching.
Suddenly, I feel like I'm on the path of actually "living" vs. merely surviving, and have never been more optimistic for my future.
I found out about Laz from a friend who had trained with him before me. I had gone to a fitness competition and thought to myself I'd love to be on that stage and inspire others.
I never believed I'd actually do it. With the help of Laz, I was able to set a goal and not only achieve it, but I placed 1st in my very first bikini competition.
I couldn't have done it without Laz's guidance. He's not only an amazing coach but also a very genuine friend. He believed in me even when I didn't believe in myself, motivated me when I felt like giving up and pushed me to be the best version of myself.
Because of him I have a new outlook on life and have come to realize that we really can achieve what we want in life if we have the right mindset and are willing to work for it.
He has helped me overcome my fears, taught me the importance of self-love, and has helped me realize my true potential. I've become stronger mentally, physically, and spiritually.
To this day he is still there for me anytime I need help in life, fitness, relationships, or just need to talk. He's genuine I am grateful that I have found such a fantastic fitness/life coach and friend and would highly recommend him to anyone.
Let's have a conversation and figure out the best path for you and create a program that fits your life.

I'm so excited to link up with Shelley for the Bright Ideas Blog Hop! I cannot wait to start checking out all of the classroom tips and tricks my blogging buds are posting about today!
I've been tinkering with my Writer's Workshop for a little while and wanted to share a new conferencing strategy with you - small group writing conferences!
Admittedly, this is not my idea. I first read about it in the new Lucy Calkins materials our school purchased this year. I will, however, be the first to admit that I don't do things "Lucy's way." As teachers, we have to put our own spin on things to feel comfortable and confident trying something new, and I would definitely encourage you to do the same after reading this. :)
Here goes!
Our Writer's Workshop is a bit compacted because we departmentalize. On most days we have about 45-50 minutes and it looks a bit like this:
It's pretty jam-packed, but it works for us!
I don't pull small group conferences every day, but I do use them 3 or 4 times a week to reinforce skills I notice are missing in my students' writing. I'll also invite students to come to a small group if I'm teaching a new or particularly tricky skill.
Here are a couple of key "tips" that have made small group conferences work well for me:
After a couple of initially frustrating small group conferences I used some words of wisdom from my incredibly talented teaching partner, M:
"If you don't have anything on your paper, I don't know how to help you."
I had several students consistently coming back to the carpet with nothing on their paper and the same complaint, "I don't know what to write." UGH. To alleviate this, I started giving kids 5 minutes of Get Started time. During the first five minutes of independent writing, that's exactly the expectation. I walk around, get my conferring materials together, and look to see who might want to come with me for a refresh. It worked like a charm. My kids know that they have to have something to work with in small group, so if they don't have anything on paper then small group is not an option for them yet.
Use those marker boards (or shower boards if you're a Home Depot fan like me)! You and I both know how much our kids love dry erase markers. When we're working on a skill (like quotation marks in the picture above), I have the students copy a sentence they already have in their notebook. Then a simple swipe or carat can help them to add or remove what they need. When I've checked their work, they have a convenient model to look at when they make corrections in their notebook.
I might call specific students back if I'm reviewing a skill I know they need to work on (capitalizing proper nouns, end punctuation, etc.). However, many times I'll announce what I'm going to work on in small group that day and invite kids to come back if they want extra help. You'd be surprised at how many of your kiddos will be honest with themselves (and you!) when help is offered instead of enforced. :)
Now, I do get the occasional "Needy Nancy" who only wants a bit of affirmation that they are doing the right thing. But it doesn't take long to glance at their board, give them a thumbs up, and send them back to their seat.
I usually see anywhere from 5-8 kids in a small group. We meet back on the carpet in a circle so that I can see everyone at once. I usually model and reinforce for 1-2 minutes. Then I give them a short a simple task:
"Find a sentence in your story that you think contains dialogue. Copy it and hold it up when you are finished."
I look to check their work so far. As they finish, I give them the next step:
"Add in quotation marks. Don't forget to include a comma and end punctuation where you need it."
Breaking the steps down this way makes it much more manageable for them! It also gives me time to work with kids as they finish, whether they are working quickly or not. After we're finished, I almost always have time to work in 2 or 3 more individual conferences. The key to conferring is to keep it focused and short. Don't try to attack everything at once. Focus on one issue at a time - you'll meet with more kids this way!
This is probably my favorite thing about small group writing conferences. I have seen my kids' confidence as writers grow so much! They are working and sharing in a small group with other friends who need the same kind of help they do. It helps them to see, "I'm not alone. There are other kids who need a little more help too." What makes my heart burst is when one of my kiddos from small group brings their notebook to our closing circle to show off what they worked on that day. Being able to fix your mistakes is a celebration on its own. Holding up your notebook and saying, "Look what I learned today!" is worthy of medals and song in Room 3! :)
I hope I've shed some light on small group writing conferences today! Don't forget to keep hopping through.
Shelley at The Perks of Teaching Primary has some more bright ideas for building vocabulary waiting for you!
