November 6th
Hello Second Grade Families!
We have a bit of a zig-zag week ahead, as there are two non-school days. Remember that school is closed on voting day as well as on Friday in honor of Veteran's Day. Thank you to the many Veteran's we have as parents in our classroom, I appreciate your service!
This will be a review week in reading, as we won't have a full week of instruction. We will catch up on some of our stories, reviewing character, setting, and plot. As well, we will learn how to use text evidence (words from the story) to prove our answers. In reading groups we continue to practice making predictions before and during reading. We then go back to see if we can confirm our predictions.
Since this is not a typical Wonders week, I am sending home modified spelling this week. We will practice writing number words, an important skill as we explain our thinking in writing. There will still be a traditional spelling menu, but the words will all be number words this week.
In math, we will spend the majority of the week focused on even and odd numbers. We will sort dominoes with even and odd totals, review even and odd numbers in larger numerals, and look for patterns with these numbers. We will also build shapes using our geoboards.
In writing this week, the students will continue to develop a seed story. A seed story focuses on a small moment in time. I use the example of a watermelon to teach this idea. A watermelon story would be a topic, such as Christmas. A watermelon slice story would be a subtopic, such as Christmas Eve. A seed story would be a small moment, such as opening your favorite gift on Christmas morning. The students are progressing well with this skill, and we will continue to work on it this week.
As we zoom in on a small moment, we have much more space for descriptive words and voice in our story. We are working on showing our characters feelings instead of just telling them. For instance, instead of saying our character is surprised, a student would write: My eyes became huge. I could feel my mouth hanging open in disbelief. I could not have imagined this would happen.
Finally……Cuddles! We will be building our cage this week. I eagerly await the student permission slips that went home on Friday, so that our class pet can arrive. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Have a wonderful week!

Last week we had a special visitor come into school as Father O'Shea came in to deliver a mock baptism to help us celebrate our recent R.E topic about baptism. Baby Jessica (the doll) was baptised in front of Reception, Year 1 and Year 2.
Thank you Father O'Shea!

When you examine all the factors that make a location the ideal place to settle, it's no surprise that West London is so popular with families and businesses alike. If you're based in Brentford you're just 15 minutes from Heathrow airport. The proximity of the airport and other transport hubs has also sparked a growth in the employer base and fuelled a diverse economy led by some of the world's most successful businesses and brands – Sony, Sky, Sega, Avon, GSK and Mitsubishi among them.
It's a powerhouse of education, with schools and universities delivering learning and development at the very highest standards. And all this is prompting investment in local communities and infrastructure, with Chiswick Park being one of the most noteworthy and defining schemes of recent times.
Chiswick Park, a short way to the north east of The Brentford Project, continues to be one of the most exciting business developments in West London. In an area already acknowledged as an ideal destination for both local and global enterprises, it has established itself as a serious creative hub with CBS, Vue International, Paramount, Discovery, Pokémon, The Walt Disney Company and IMG among the list of residents.
Set in 33 acres of landscaped gardens including a lake and a waterfall, its twelve buildings are the workplace of some 9,000 people and its 1.8 million sq ft of award winning accommodation are complemented by an on-site gym, convenience stores and plenty of places to eat, drink and unwind.

Athleta has released their NEW winter collection! I'm not a huge fan of winter BUT I do live in Chicago and have to deal with it so what better than to get all bundled up with Athleta. It would have been nice to have a comfy warm coat this past weekend. As you saw in my last post, we went apple picking and there was a freak burst of high winds AND snow. It only lasted for a little bit but still it was SO cold.
I love this Downkind jacket. Perfect for a walk through a corn maze and apple picking, that's for sure. One in every color please! ha My top choice would be the Arbor Olive one though. What about you?
I also love the look of their Luxe Coaster Jogger pants below. They have other great items in their winter collection like tights, long hoodies, Beanies and much more. Check it out.
When I think of Athleta, I think of COMFORT & STYLE. Everyone will want to know where your winter fashion came from especially if you're wearing the Terrex Cholea by Adidas boots *wink*.
Athleta ALSO has final sale items available and you can get up to 75% off! Plus free shipping over $50 (limited time only, restrictions may apply). Gotta love a good sale.
Don't miss the #AthletaWinter $500 Athleta Winter gift card giveaway. TEN winners will receive a $50 Athleta gift card. Yay! Ends October 26th at 11:59 PM ET. See official rules here.
Are you ready for winter?

Erewash Borough Council's Pride in Erewash Campaign in 2006 launched its confidential 24-hour hotline which gives residents the power to tackle environmental crime in their local area.
Fly tipping, littering, abandoned vehicles and graffiti are currently reported via the Council's contact centre, however we understand that residents may be reluctant to pass-on the details of offenders when speaking to a member of staff.
PRIDE-line is a 24-hour answerphone service which allows residents to report offences and offenders without the need to speak to a member of staff, under no requirement to leave their personal details.
Those calling the special hotline are asked to give as much information of offenders and offences as possible. The Council will need to know the names and addresses, vehicle types, registration numbers, locations and nature of all offences.
Callers will be encouraged to leave their contact details should they wish to do so, as this will assist the Wardens Service in gathering evidence; however, this is not imperative to investigations.
On reporting environmental crime, residents now have the choice of the following contact points:
- Create a My Erewash account and tell us about the issue you wish to report
My Society and the Young Foundation launched created a website to make it easier for people to talk to their local authority and other local people about broken civic infrastructure in their neighbourhood. Fix My Street allows people to:
Easily report broken infrastructure (streetlights, phone boxes, hydrants, potholes) in their area to the local authority, and
To start, or take part in public discussions about maintaining and improving the infrastructure and environment in their neighbourhoods.
When residents discover something broken, out-of-order or vandalised in their neighbourhood, they can visit the website, enter their postcode and a map of the area will be displayed.
People can then click on the map at the exact location of the damaged property, leaving a note describing the problem for other residents to see. The message will automatically report the problem to the relevant council officer, who will receive the notification by email.
The website makes it easy for council officers to respond to fault reports – either publicly or privately - by simply emailing a response to the person who left the original message. Council officers can choose whether to make their responses public on the website, giving them the option to give a status report about progress with repairs.

The Huffington Post is reporting that Yoplait has agreed to pull its recent yogurt commercials this week at the urging of the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA). The NEDA believes that the commercial might trigger dangerous behavior in those with eating disorders.
My initial reaction was "WHAT? This is ridiculous!" I truly believe that sometimes we are too sensitive. The reality is that many people stand in front of their fridge, or sit at the table of the restaurant, deliberating what they should eat versues what they want to eat. This is absolutely natural! And for people who work out hard, it's the reality we face. Is that cookie really worth an extra 10 minutes on the treadmill?
But after some further thought, I understand what the NEDA is trying to say. Sometimes I worry TOO much about the food choices I make. And I know I'm not the only one. There's nothing wrong with passing up dessert or choosing to eat a salad, but sometimes obsessing over food choices can be debilitating. When we think of food in terms of good or bad, or number of calories, we get caught up in perfection. We translate good food choices for being "good people" and eating a certain amount of calories as a number of our self worth. Or when we go over that number, we start to think of ourselves as failures.
There's a fine line that we Lean Girls have to walk. The point is to look at food as fuel- fuel that allows you to go running, rowing, shopping, etc. But also allow food to be A source of pleasure. Not THE source of pleasure. Are you making certain food decisions because you know eating them will make you feel good? Or are you deciding to not eat a certain item to withhold something from yourself because you don't deserve it? I used to obsess over everything that went in my mouth, whether it was good or bad. But ever since I stopped weighing myself (per Justin, not by choice), I've regained some sanity. I'm not perfect but now I concentrate more on how certain foods make me feel. It drives me bananas that I don't know what I weigh, but I've also never been more relaxed or as fit as I am today.
I'm not the best person to advise on this topic for various reasons: 1. I'm not a nutritionist, therapist, or any sort of licensed professional. 2. I struggle with food choices still! There are many times I go back-and-forth when deciding what to eat. "Yes, I'll take ice cream. Nevermind, forget it. Actually, yes. No, ignore me." It causes those around me to scream "just eat it!" You know who you are 🙂 I share this story about Yoplait with you so you check yourself and your eating habits. There are not only so many others things to worry about in this world, but also many many many more good things on which to occupy your thoughts.

Law enforcers have taken stringent security measures so that the Buddhist community can celebrate their main religious festival Buddha Purnima with much enthusiasm.
This was informed at a meeting on law and order and security for Buddha Purnima held at the Police Headquarters on Tuesday with Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dr Javed Patwary in the chair.
Speaking at the meeting, the IGP said there is no specific security threat over Buddha Purnima. "Special security measures have been taken for Buddhist temples across the country to ensure foolproof security," he said.
He said intelligence agencies have already been instructed to take necessary measures to monitor social media so that no group or vested quarter can spread any rumour or confusion about Buddha Purnima. "All the police units have been asked to carry out duty in plain-clothes alongside regular uniform one and increase vigilance," he said.
Javed Patwary also said they have instructed police officers to visit every Buddhist temple.
He ordered the police officials to set up check posts and conduct block raids on important places ahead of Buddha Purnima.
The police chief urged all the police units to ensure flawless security at Buddhist temples with the help of community police members, local volunteers and Buddhist religious leaders.
The meeting also urged all priests not to carry bags, purses and vanity bags on the day Buddha Purnima, which will be celebrated in the country on May 18, for the sake of security.
Buddhist religious leaders at the meeting expressed satisfaction over the overall security arrangements over Buddha Purnima and also thanked the police chief.
Among others, Additional IGP (A & O) Md Mainur Rahman Chowdhury, Director General of Rapid Action Battalion Benazir Ahmed, Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia, Additional IGP of Anti-Terrorism Unit (ATU) Mohammad Abul Quashem, heads of different police units, Dharmarajik Buddhist Mahabihar General Secretary PR Barua, Executive President of Bangladesh Buddhist Federation Ashok Barua, Trustee of Buddhist Kalyan Trust and MP of reserved women seat Basanti Chakma, President of Bangladesh Buddhist Culture Promotion Committee Pramath Barua, Bangladesh Buddhist Association Dhaka Region General Secretary Swapan Barua Chowdhury, General Secretary of Bangladesh Buddhist Federation Bhikshu Sunandapriya and Bangladesh Buddhist Religion Welfare Board of Trustee Dalim Kumar Barua were present at the meeting.

Our first single was issued in that year. It wasn't like we weren't trying to play shows, but we couldn't get booked for some time. As it is, the band was nebulous before that. Rob and I put out a cassette together in 1984 called Big Money Miracles. We individually recorded songs on four track, not as a band. Rob, Bill and I released a cassette called Paul Lynde to Block in 1985, again as individuals and not as a band. We toyed with a band in different configurations.

I ovulated Sunday!! We tested this morning and Eric said "you already did it the line is lighter"and I looked and sure enough. I wasnt really sure yesterday if the test line was dark enough but I guess it was because there is a definate difference. We are sure our bd timing was correct so now we are just waiting. It has only been 2 hours how can I possible wait 2 weeks. The theme of Jepordy has been playing in my head all morning. I alway think of it while I am peeing on any kind of stick. I am so proud of my ovaries right now I think I will throw them a party.
I am picking up E from daycare at lunch as he is out of school today and we are going to go to Mcdonalds for lunch I havent seen him all week and I am about to loose it. I cant wait to hug and kiss on him all the while him saying "mom, stop kissing me :(". Yesterday was very hard with him being at his dads but we suffered through. We went fishing, and got all of our flowerbeds ready. I planted flowers, veggies, herbs. Eric planted sperm!!!! :).

Among those in the business of telling you how to change your life, it is universally contended that the best method is to choose the most important change you can make, make it, and then move on to the next one. Presented as Exhibits A:
How to Implement Daily Changes
This method is fairly simple, and if you really implement it, nearly foolproof: One Change at a Time. You can break this rule, but don't be surprised if you fail. Do one change for a month before considering a second. Only add another change if you were successful at the first.
and B:
Identify your Keystone Habit, and focus on it.
… the importance of identifying your Keystone Habit—the habit you identify as the most important thing you can change about your life. To find out what that is for you, ask yourself, what constantly gnaws at you? … Whichever habit you're working on, pick one at a time. More than one at a time will be overwhelming and will increase your likelihood of failing to improve any habits.
The trouble is, I could never decide what that first habit should be. Was it studying more? Beginning a practice of calming meditation? Or perhaps more exercise as an attempt to increase my energy and thereby make more usable time in the day to allow for such beneficial new habits? Or a different one of any number of other possible changes?
Naturally, this made it difficult to take action, especially sustained, exclusive action: life happens. Whenever you're working on one trait, another seems to flare up. The inevitable outcome was to feel overwhelmed and depressed.
I was musing on this recently and realize that it is depressing because I've been running up against the same flaws over and over and over again my whole life, usually just when I think I've made some progress. Shouldn't I have kicked some of these bad habits by now? I remembered the old joke – that we all want patience, now.
Then I realized something which is so obvious it's embarrassing to say it, but which I can't possibly be the only person to have forgotten:
I've been thinking of the changes I need to make as a to-do list: December, acquire patience. January, become unfailingly sweet and thoughtful. February, master the art of time management, permanently and for all situations that will arise ever again.
I've been expecting to grow sequentially and in order and cross things off the list once and for all. Out of curiosity, I wonder what I thought the last thing on the list was going to be, when I was 80 years old and 99% perfect except for that one last untouched trait sticking out like a sore thumb….
Clearly (with some exceptions for tangible habits like smoking), and despite what the experts say, it doesn't work that way. All the things I need to work on will continue to need to be worked on for the rest of my life, just hopefully to a constantly diminishing extent. It's not a list… it's a circuit. A little on this, a little on that, and so on, sometimes at the same time, until it's time to come around and work on this again.
And you know what? I can live with that. Knowing that I don't have to choose the single most important thing before I can start relieves that crucial little bit of pressure. It's one thing I can cross off the list.

The Environmental Modification Accountability Act of 2018 · ClimateViewer News
VERIFICATION: create a worldwide citizen-powered sensor network to monitor atmospheric conditions, record video footage of sky conditions, and display atmospheric aerosols in real-time on a publically available website. (Map available at ClimateViewer.org).
My solution which I call "The Environmental Modification Accountability Act of 2018" is an addendum to the international weather warfare ban requiring two things:
God should control the weather, well, God or Gaia, not man. Unfortunately, that is not the case today. Billions of dollars are spent annually modifying the weather worlwide and after 100 years of rainmaking and hurricane hacking few know the secret history of the Climate Changers. In 1978, the United Nations banned weather warfare with the passage of the Environmental Modification Convention (ENMOD). This law came as a result of the disclosure by reporter Jack Anderson of the United States Air Force's weather warfare activities over Vietnam (Operation Popeye). The problem we face today is there is zero accountability in the hidden world of climate engineering. I seek to change this dilemma today.
"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over, you almost never get it back." — Carl Sagan
To protect life from man-made weather events and geophysical weaponry all nations shall: Create a "multilateral registry of cloud seeding, geoengineering, and atmospheric experimentation events with information and data collection on key characteristics" andPublish hourly updates on activities to a publicly available website.Create an atmospheric sensor network (similar to the CTBTO's IMS) for verification of the multilateral registry by unifying worldwide weather data for easy transmission, dissemination, and processing.Provide support for the creation of a citizen-powered sensor network to augment/validate the government, university, and NGO sensor network. Require nations/states/persons to notify the multilateral registry (at least) 48 hours prior to initiation of atmospheric experimentation/modification to ensure public notice, and liability should said experimentation/modification cause monetary, environmental, or physical losses. Verify the chemical composition of our atmosphere by making both the citizen-powered and organizational sensor networks data publicly available and displayed in real-time on a website: like ClimateViewer 3D! Create a realistic structure to punish government actors who violate this Act (if possible), and create a legal mechanism to allow for lawsuits or criminal proceedings in court to punish non-governmental actors.

He he, pardon the Little Britain outbreak, but I saw Web User's report about men playing Bingo online as women and I was for some reason was instantly reminded of Emily Howard. Apparently blokes feel more comfortable playing online as women, lest they get made fun of online.
Zoe, Alexis and Rachel are the most popular names, according to St Minver. Personally, I don't see what the problem is, all the men in my family enjoy a game of Bingo, no shame to that, it seems a bit daft. Would these online players dress in drag to go to the Bingo hall? I doubt it, but what a glorious sight it would make!

Donald had pain that took over his life. With continued use of one of our CareLight devices, he's now back on the golf course enjoying life again.
The Science
In 1993, Duke University researchers discovered that the red blood cells carry nitric oxide, and that near-infrared light causes the nitric oxide to be released into the blood stream. In 1998, 3 American physiologists won the Nobel Prize for discovering that nitric oxide causes the blood vessels to dilate. Because near-infrared light can produce nitric oxide locally wherever the lights are applied on the body, it causes increased blood flow and reduced pain.

12 Years a Slave and Doctor Strange actor, Chiwetel Ejiofor, is reportedly in talks to join Jon Favreau's live action remake of The Lion King to voice the cunningly villainous Scar.
In 1994's original Lion King, which was one of the most successful animated films of all time grossing $968.8 million from worldwide sales, Jeremy Irons voiced Scar, Mufasa's younger brother and Simba's uncle, who takes the throne. It had previously been rumoured that Logan actor, Hugh Jackman was being lined up to voice the role, but his agents soon put a stop to talk and flatly denied the rumours.
If the talks are successful, Ejiofor would be joining a previously confirmed cast of Han Solo's Donald Glover as Simba, James Earl Jones as his father Mufasa – reprising his role from the 1994 outing – and John Oliver as Zazu, a hornbill who serves as the king's majordomo, Seth Rogan as Pumbaa, a naïve warthog who suffers from flatulence and Billy Eichner as Timon, a wise-cracking and self-absorbed yet somewhat loyal meerkat.
Ejiofor most recently made his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut as Mordo in Doctor Strange and will be seen this fall in director Garth Davis biblical drama Mary Magdalene in the role of Peter.
With production already in full flow, The Jungle Book's Jon Favreau still has a few more characters left to cast including Nala who was recently rumoured to be linked with Beyonce, but as yet no word, either way, has been forthcoming.
After the major success of Favreau's remake of the Jungle Book back in 2016, anticipation is rapidly building for his Lion King adventure which is due for release in summer 2019.
The Lion King is now officially set for release on July 19th, 2019

I am thinking tonight of the days that are gone
Where the sun Clampered over the mountains at morn,
And the dew-drops from heaven like diamonds do glow
They were kissing the roses in the valley below.
cho: She was lovely and fair as the rose in the spring,
She appeared like some goddess or some Grecian queen
Fairer than the lily that blooms on the shore,
The pride of the valley, the girl I adore.
The day that we parted I ne'er can forget;
I fancy I see those sad tears falling yet,
My poor hesrt was sad and with sorrow did sting
When she took from her finger that plain golden ring,
Saying, "Take back this ring that I fain would retain,
For wearing it only causes me pain.
I have broken the vows that I made on the strand.
Now take back, I pray you, that plain golden band."
"Retain the engagement ring, darling," I cried.
"You know that you promised you'd soon be my bride.
My love it is true and will never grow cold.
Retain, then, I pray you, that plain band of gold."
"I know, my brave laddie, your love it is true.
I know that you love me and that I love you,
But I've broken the vows that we made on the strand,
And take back, I pray you, that plain golden band.
"One fine, starry night when the moon it shone bright
All nature was raptured in the pale yellow light,
And the gentle wild zephyrs blew o'er the wild moor
As I strayed from my cottage to roam on the shore.
"A young man appeared, and him I well knew.
He told me fake stories, false stories of you.
He vowed that he loved me and offered his hand,
And I put a stain on that plain golden band."
"Retain the engagement ring, darling, I crave,
Or lay me to sleep in a dishonored grave,
With those fond, cherished letters penned by your own hand
And on my cold breast place the plain golden band."
In the green, shudy forest so far, far away,
Where the deer loves to roam and the child loves to play
All nature seems gay and the scene's wild but grand,
There the author you'll find to "The Plain Golden Band."

Quite the interesting day yesterday in the Stanley Cup playoffs as both the Blues and Penguins grabbed 3-0 strangleholds in their first-round series, while the Canadiens and Oilers earned road wins to take 2-1 leads in theirs.
It's been an incredible late-season meltdown by the Wild. Minnesota looked like it may be the best team in hockey when it had a 43-17-6 record after 66 games, but now Bruce Boudreau looks like he's on his way to yet another stunning first-round exit.
There are 4 games tonight in the Cup playoffs, with the Senators, Bruins, Capitals and Leafs all hoping to take 2-1 series leads with victories tonight. In the West, the Blackhawks and Flames both need wins to avoid going down 0-3, and those are the two games we've focused on below with breakdowns and opinions on the best ways to bet them.
Who are you betting on tonight, and why? Let us know in the comments section below. And good luck tonight!
Be sure to check out our live odds page for updated odds on today's games.
The obvious pick in this game is the Blackhawks, the top seed in the West whose season is all but over if they lose this game.
But there are some serious red flags when it comes to betting on Chicago. Dating back to the regular season, they've lost 6 straight and 8 of 10. Not all of those games mattered, of course, but it's still something to be concerned about if you're looking to bet on the Hawks. Chicago has also failed to score more than 2 goals in 5 of its last 6 games, and allowed 3+ goals in 5 of its last 6. Coming off two shutout losses at home, it's hard to know if they're frustrated and have lost confidence, or that simply means they bring it harder tonight and start getting some results.
The Predators have been in this position before – last year, in fact, when they won their first two games of the playoffs in Anaheim. Nashville then returned home to lose the next two games, though they still eventually eliminated the Ducks in 7 games. A big concern here for the Predators has to be their first period play at home. It's been bad all year (outscored 33-25) and now the Hawks, who have been a strong first period road team, will bring urgency from the opening puck drop.
The value in this game is on the Preds, considering that the Blackhawks were underdogs in their first two trips to Nashville this year (including +125 on March 4) but are now short favourites tonight. But we can't discount the Hawks' championship pedigree here and will be very surprised if they don't bounce back tonight. We're personally going with a half-unit on the Blackhawks first period moneyline (-110 at 5Dimes) and a half-unit on the Chicago full-game moneyline (-106 at 5Dimes.)
Money's been coming on on the Flames today, moving Calgary from an opener of -120 at Pinnacle to -131 as we write this. The argument for betting the Flames is as clear as it is for the Blackhawks – a loss puts you down 3-0 in the series and your playoffs is basically over.
Unlike the Blackhawks, however, Calgary has some positives to build on. The Flames led Game 1 midway through the second period before a horrible line change gave the Ducks a 3-on-0 break to tie the game, and Anaheim went on to win. In Game 2, the Flames outshot Anaheim 37-29. In a building where they've now lost an unfathomable 29 straight games, the Flames were right there in both games against the second-seeded Ducks.
Beating Anaheim won't be easy. The Ducks are 8-0-2 in their last 10 games dating back to the regular season, and 15-1-3 in their last 19 overall. They're also scoring plenty of goals, netting 3 goals or more in 11 of their last 12 games.
But Anaheim did go 17-15-9 on the road this season, while the Flames have won 10 of their last 13 at home. And in the Ducks' last 3 road games, they allowed 3, 3 and 4.
If Calgary's going to beat Anaheim tonight, we think it'll have to be with offence, considering how hot the Anaheim attack is and the fact the Flames have allowed 3+ in 5 of their last 6. We considered taking the Flames moneyline at -130 at Bodog, but think the Calgary Team Total Over 2.5 at -118 odds (got that at Pinnacle) is probably the better choice.
Good luck!

Do you have a style... or a "thing" that you think of as yours?? For me its a couple of things... I love Copper, Dioramas and lots of bling/glitter/glimmer/shine.... and you will often see these things popping up in my work. I think of these things as "mine"... and they definitely are in my comfort zone.
So today's card was a very "comfortable" card for me to make. Our foil snowflakes come in Silver and Gold, but I wanted copper... so that meant I had to emboss them myself. I used Versamark ink over my snowflakes (on the reverse "non shiny" side) and then sprinkled copper embossing powder on it, before heating it with the heat tool to melt the powder. I popped them onto a panel of black cardstock and trimmed the excess around the panel. The copper strip at the bottom of the "Joy" sentiment is one of the metallic washi tapes in the "Year of Cheer" washi. All up, its a simple enough card, but taking that extra step of embossing the snowflakes and sentiment makes it a little bit special don't you think??
Our current Holiday catalogue will run until the end of the year, and already I know I am going to miss these snowflakes if they retire. So I'm using them as much as I can! Make hay while the sun shines right??
I'm off to Melbourne this weekend for the Stampin'Up! Onstage training day. I LOVE these events.... mostly because I get to catch up with so many of my awesome stamping friends, but also because we will be getting our first look at the Occasions and Sale-A-Bration offerings for 2018. VERY exciting!
And its a chance to get away and refresh! Cant wait to share these exciting things with you all.
Enjoy today's card and I'll be back soon.

According to the information from Foxconn's online recruitment platform, the company has released recruitment information at Guiyang, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Zhengzhou and other areas on February 9th.
Among them, the Zhengzhou plant is mainly responsible for the production and assembly of Apple's (AAPL-US) iPhone and related components. The plant started to interview from today on February 11st and the probation period will be shortened to one month.
According to foreign media previously, due to Apple's below-expectation iPhone sales in FY18, the Zhengzhou plant began to lay off more than 50,000 employees in October last year. However, in response, Hon Hai told that the change of employee numbers in different parks is just normal adjustment to the company.
Hon Hai also stressed that there are still more than 50,000 manpower needs in 1Q19 at the plants in China. The company will continue to promote the transformation and the upgrading of Industry of Internet smart manufacturing, and devote to the incubation of employees.

FREEBIE: Cross-Stitch 2016 Calendar
Every year for Christmas I try to give some sort of hand-made gift to friends and family. There's nothing lovelier than knowing that someone close to you can enjoy and use something you've concocted from scratch. Be it some slightly strange-tasting biscuits, or maybe some knitted socks that would never fit any human on this earth (don't worry family, I've hung up my knitting needles for good now!).
This year I'm putting together a package of homemade ginger beer (delicious and easy to make, fab recipe here), dairy-free cinnamon almond stars (if I can't have dairy, no-one else can!) and a cross stitch 2016 calendar.
I love the idea of a gift that lasts the whole year, and this one has the added benefit of the recipient taking some time out once a month to stitch a letter and so interact with the gift. I have visions of family members quietly sitting in an armchair stitching away, maybe reflecting on the month that has passed and planning for the one ahead. We lead such crazy lives that sometimes a bit of enforced downtime is just what we need.
As a festive gift to you all I'm giving away this calendar as a free printable. Just download the calendar and belly-band, print onto A4 card, cut out each card and the belly band to hold it together, package up with your chosen colour of cross-stitch twine, and voila… one lovely calendar to give as a gift.

Wanganui Branch History
INDEX < Prev 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Next > ..... 40
"Wanganui Chronicle"
Plays its Part!
Dusing this time the Wanganui Chronicle helped spread the interest by starting up a weekly column under the heading 'Wireless by The Grid.'
This contained, in addition to technical information of interest to radio club members, items about the progress of radio transmission in New Zealand. For instance, the issue of Oct 17, 1923, contains a reference to new Auckland station, 1YB, owned by the La Gloria Gramophone Co. Auckland. Of local interest is a paragraph to say that 2AH, the Wanganui station, had transmitted two very fine programmes. The paper commended the Radio Club on its progress.
By 1926, the Chronicle had extended its service to radio fans by publishing a column twice a week, under the heading Listen In. This was conducted by Detector (Mr W Baxter who was member of the paper's literary staff up into the 60s.)

"The dramatic expansion and increasing functional importance of dopamine systems in the human brain occurred over a long period of time, only partially paralleled by the changes in our physical appearance, and the dopamine rise continued long after our common genetic lineage. For those who believe that the great intelligence of humans relative to the rest of the primate world requires an exalted evolutionary progression, this theory is highly disappointing in that:
1. there is no positing of specific genetic mutations for language or other advanced intellectual functions;
2. no importance is ascribed to the changes in cranial size and shape; and
3. most of our intelligence is regarded as a by-product of physiological adaptation, diet and population pressures.
This theory is, however, consistent with a number of crucial facts, including:
1. the lack of a causal relationship between brain size and intelligence;
2. the tenuous relevance of the human genome to intelligence;
3. the importance of dopamine to our advanced intellect;
4. the specific expansion of the dopamine-rich striatum and cerebral cortex relative to the rest of the brain in humans as compared to chimpanzees (Rapoport, 1990);
5. the known effects of diet and physiology on dopamine function;
6. the sub-Saharan origins of humanity; and
7. the >100,000 year gap between the establishment of the modern human anatomy and genome and the appearance of a variety of cultural artifacts associated with a distinctly modern human intellect.
This theory merges genetic, epigenetic and cultural factors and blends the African gradualistic theory of McBrearty and Brooks (2000) with the general intellectual explosion posited by Mithen (1996), but with his European locus of the intellectual "Big Bang" now placed at an earlier juncture in Southern Africa. In addition, this theory clearly explains why cognitive abilities like language, religion, art, advanced tool-making, mining, long-distance exchange etc. did not emerge as separate genetic selections but rather depended on a more fundamental increase in cognitive potential as expressed in enhanced working memory, cognitive flexibility, spatial and temporal distance (off-line thinking), mental speed, and creativity that could only be found in a brain rich in dopamine (see also Wynn and Coolidge, 2004). Finally, this theory dispels the notion that the evolution of advanced human intelligence was critically dependent on the capacity for speech, since the latter was present at least 200,000 years ago in the first anatomically modern humans and probably another 100,000 or 200,000 years before that in archaic humans (Arensburg et al., 1990), without leading to any dramatic intellectual advances.
By highlighting the epigenetic inheritance of dopaminergic activity, this scenario shows why the emergence of the dopaminergic mind was not associated with a unique, immutable genetic process but rather one that continued to advance long past the establishment of our common genome and anatomy."

So this weekend, my Mommy came up to visit me at school, which I loved!! I'm a little bit attatched to my mom, so it was awesome seeing her. I miss her a lot when I'm up here at school.
On Friday night, we went to see Arthur, the new movie with Russell Brand in it.
What I'm Loving Wednesday
I'm linking up with Jaime for What I'm Loving Wednesday!
I'm loving the lovely Spring weather Eugene is FINALLY having!
Two Letters…
Who knew that two letters, specifically two greek letters could mean so much to me.
Kappa Delta has been pretty much the best decision of my entire life. I love my sisters, and I love the opportunites that it has given me. I can honestly say that I have no idea where I would be without my house.
My story with sororitys starts with my mom singing me her sorority's songs to me as a kid, and hearing about all of the fun she had when she was in college. Unfortunately, UO didn't have her chapter on our campus (but they are re-installing their chapter here next year!) when I went through recruitment. But in a way I'm glad, because I would be comparing my experience to hers, and that's no good.
When bid day finally came along, I was thrilled! I couldn't have been happier. I am so happy that I ended up in Kappa Delta, I can honestly say that I don't see myself being happy in any other house.
I am so happy that this opportunity has lead me to even bigger opportunities, whether they be leadership, social or community service, because I would not be as involved on campus as I am without the help of my sisters.
Anyways, I love my sisters to pieces and I am so happy that each and every one of them are in my life.
Wooot! First Post!
To be honest, I haven't really figured out what I want this blog to be about, so I'm going to kinda make it up as I go along. But, hopefully it will be a good read?

Since we last reached out, there have been special new projects launched, spect-actors on their toes, a new production in the works, and many more moments to share!
In Toronto (& London):
We were delighted to creatively support the newcomer youth leadership development program at the YMCA in Brampton and lead an Artist Facilitation Training session for the amazing new artists we'll collaborate with for Tokens4Change this year.
We had the chance to work with the incredible staff at For Youth Initiative to lead a two day intensive arts-based facilitation training.
We had the gift to collaborate with Aisha Haque from Western University's Teaching Support Centre to co-create and perform a forum theatre play at their recent Perspectives on Teaching Conference. The play raised issues of discrimination and exclusion on campus to motivate professor's to rehearse how to address and collaboratively transform oppression in their classroom environments. Learnings from the performance were shared in UWO Theatre Professor, Kim Solga's blog: The Activist Classroom.
Pictured above, Actors: Natalie Abdou, Rehana Tejpar, Naomi Tessler with spect-actor-Kim Solga who stepped into the play to bring change into the classroom through the role of our professor character played by Hartley Jafine. Thanks to our incredible ensemble for making the full forum an incredible learning opportunity for all!
We are honoured to be working with the Advocacy Centre for Tenants Ontario (ACTO) to create and stage a legislative theatre performance entitled "People's Assembly for the Right to Housing" for National Housing Day on November 20th, at 12:30pm at Holy Trinity Church. This is a free event, and ALL are WELCOME! There will be a rally leading up to the performance. We will share more info on our website once it's available.

In Ottawa/Gatineau
We had a passionate group of children and youth ages 6-13 join us for our first ever: Branch Out Theatre Day Camp in Chelsea, Quebec. We spent the week with a balance of nature and social justice–hiking and finding natural props in the forest along with co-creating forum theatre plays addressing gender based violence and family conflicts, which culminated in a community performance for the campers' family and friends.
We had the chance to work with staff from Ottawa Community Housing to shake up their staff meeting with a workshop on creative play and team building led by guest facilitator extraordinaire-Lucy Lu of Third Space Playback.
Our Stand Up, Speak Theatre Project– a social justice and theatre after school program for LGBTQ+ & Allied youth has started up again this fall in partnership with The Canadian Centre for Gender & Sexual Diversity (CCGSD) and we look forward to growing our ensemble and performing at upcoming events in Ottawa. See below for more details!
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Creative Well Theatre Project, in collaboration withMegan Piercey Monafu. This project seeks to provide theatre programming to adults struggling with mental health and culminate in the co-creation and touring of a forum theatre play addressing the social stigma attached to mental illness. See more details below!
Naomi Tessler is delighted to be giving a talk on Arts for Social Change for the Carlton's Political Science Society Professional Development Day coming up in November.
And… with deep breaths, we are excited to share news about our upcoming performance of: (off) Balance, a heart centred play about finding equilibrium when your world is reduced to a diagnosis. Created and Performed by: Naomi Tessler

Finally, Memphis leads the country in something: we're the first place a gun was carried into a town hall meeting on health care reform.
I continue, by the way, to be utterly disheartened by the nature of this debate. It's the ugliest America's domestic debate has been since I can remember. Not even the Bush-era debates over the 2000 election or torture or domestic spying, or the Clinton impeachment, or the Anita Hill hearings were this septic.
All the stops have been pulled. All sense of decency left behind. All rhetorical restraints cast off. It's just tell the vilest lies you can think of, as often as you can manage, so loudly that there's no chance of you or anyone else hearing any evidence to the contrary. Nothing is out of bounds. Not for the activists, not for the pundits, not even for the supposed intelligentsia and the elected officials, who, historically, generally try to keep from wallowing in the muckiest ditches even while they encourage others to dredge the bottom for them. This time it's unadulterated filth. From everybody. All the time.
From top to bottom, stem to stern, Dan to Beersheba, conservatism in this country has gone completely insane.
I don't say that as a liberal or a partisan of any kind, and I don't say it to score rhetorical points. I say it as a historical observer, because it worries me.

Charles Krauthammer wrote steadily for almost 40 years — but he was not a book-writer. He wrote essays, columns, speeches, etc. This is true of other top-rate and influential writers as well. Isaiah Berlin, for one. Irving Kristol, for another. Krauthammer was a good friend of the latter's. And appreciations of both men — Berlin and Kristol — appear in a new Krauthammer collection.
It has a predecessor, Things That Matter, which Krauthammer published in 2013. This new one, he compiled with his son, Daniel. It's called "The Point of It All." I think of a title from Amos Elon: "The Pity of It All." This is a sadder title, to be sure. (The subtitle of that book is "A Portrait of Jews in Germany, 1743–1933.")
The Point of It All is very wide-ranging, a true Krauthammer sampler. This is Krauthammer in full, or very nearly so. It is a book that says, "This is what he believed. This is who he was." As such, it is invaluable.
A major topic of this book is politics, of course. Krauthammer lived and worked in Washington, D.C., his entire career. He hammered the government, as everyone does, but he did not despise it, or politics. On the contrary. Listen to him on Meg Greenfield, his editor at the Washington Post: "She had great respect for what Washington does: weigh deep and often ancient arguments and try from that to fashion action. She had respect for the difficulty of this Sisyphean task and for the fallibility of the men and women engaged in it."
He could have said the same of himself, too.
Daniel Krauthammer, in his introduction to the new collection, writes that "the core political focus of this book is on the nature and the future of liberal democracy and limited government." His father called liberal democracy "the most free, most humane, most decent political system ever invented by man." It has foes on all sides, needless to say. Last year, Viktor Orbán, the Hungarian leader, declared, "The era of liberal democracy is over." Is it? There are always new chapters to be written, dark and light.
In his career, Krauthammer wrote a lot about foreign affairs, and this collection reflects that. "Putin's irredentist grievances go very deep," he wrote in 2014. "Obama seems unable to fathom them." Three years later, he was worrying about the Right and its "attraction to Putinism."
About the Middle East, he wrote over and over. One day, he had a column about Israel — another one. I sent him a note, saying, "Charles, I find that I can barely write about the Arab–Israeli conflict anymore, so weary am I from doing it, year after year, decade after decade. I'm glad you're not weary — or that you push through it, to say the necessary, again." He replied, "I know exactly of your weariness. My reluctance to write about it once again is enormous. It's only a sense of duty — and the shocking realization of how few are prepared to say the obvious truth anymore — that makes me do it."
Like Norman Podhoretz, he believes that George W. Bush will be like Truman: scorned during his presidency and immediately after, and appreciated later. About Barack Obama, he writes almost bitterly (which is rare for him) — because Obama, in Krauthammer's estimation, inherited victory in Iraq (agonizingly achieved) and threw it away.
In deterrence, he is a great believer. That's why you have to commit to Article 5, he says. (This is the plank of the North Atlantic Treaty that says an attack on one is an attack on all.) If you don't, you have undermined deterrence. In early 2017, he made an eye-catching statement: "Some claim that putting America first is a reassertion of American exceptionalism. On the contrary, it is the antithesis. It makes America no different from all the other countries that define themselves by a particularist blood-and-soil nationalism. What made America exceptional, unique in the world, was defining its own national interest beyond its narrow economic and security needs to encompass the safety and prosperity of a vast array of allies."
These are fighting words, of course — a tinderbox. But Krauthammer did not shrink from a fight, when the topic mattered. He was princely in manners, but no violet.
He could write on affairs foreign and domestic — even extraterrestrial. (Krauthammer had an abiding interest in space.) He was besotted with America, and pushed assimilation, hard. He wanted the New World to be different from the Old. "Without ever having thought it through," he lamented, "we are engaged in unmaking the American union and encouraging the very tribalism that is the bane of the modern world." He did not write those words in recent years, but rather in 1990.
All politics and no play makes Jack, or Charles, a dull boy. This book has columns about chess, which Krauthammer played well. (One of his opponents — also a good player — was Natan Sharansky.) It also has a column or two about baseball, which he loved (along with his fellow conservative columnist at the Post, George Will).
One night, I was doing a Q&A with Krauthammer in front of an audience. I noted that baseball diamonds were being grassed over for soccer. "Tell me," I said. "Is soccer evil?" "Yes," Charles answered — with perfect dryness. Then he expounded. Not the least of his traits was humor, part of the pleasure he took in life, and caused others to share.
So, The Point of It All includes Krauthammer's enthusiasms. That is the title of another great collection, by the way: by Bernard Levin, published in 1983. Enthusiasms has chapters on cities, walking, Shakespeare, music, etc. (The book is dedicated to Arianna Huffington, then Stassinopoulos.)
In The Point of It All, there is one new piece — a longish, important one, never before published. Written in the summer of 2017, just before the author had to stop writing, it's called "The Authoritarian Temptation." The title is an echo of Jean-François Revel's book of 1976: The Totalitarian Temptation. "The slide back away from liberal democracy is well underway," Krauthammer writes. He cites Turkey, Venezuela, Hungary, Poland, others. (Eric Edelman, a former U.S. ambassador to Turkey, has taken to speaking of "Authoritarian International," a term that plays on the old "Communist International," or "Comintern.") People are fed up with "parliamentary dysfunction," writes Krauthammer, and are gravitating to "strongman rule."
This piece may be construed as a warning, a word to the wise from a wise man, who had absorbed history and was attuned to the world around him.
In 2009, he wrote, "Longevity for a columnist is a simple proposition: Once you start, you don't stop. You do it until you die or can no longer put a sentence together." He never stopped being able to put a sentence together. His writing was as good as his thinking (an amazing equality). After an extended illness, he died in June 2018.
He started writing in the early 1980s. I was in college — and read him in all his venues: The New Republic, Time, and the Post. He had a great impact on me. I never stopped reading him. When he wrote something, we conservatives could wave it around and say, "See? See? This is what we mean, and beautifully expressed." We could do that with our other biggies too, including Buckley, Podhoretz, Will, and Sowell.
Let me tell you a secret. I didn't want to read the new collection. I was asked to review it. I felt Krauthammer'd out. But when I started reading, I couldn't put the book down. I had read all the pieces when they were first published — or most of them — but I wanted to reread them. It was wonderful to be in the author's company again. And I thought, "Yes. This is what I believe. This is the conservatism that I embraced all those years ago, and believed to be true."
I once quoted to him something that Bill Buckley said about Paul Johnson (in his introduction to an anthology, The Quotable Paul Johnson): Johnson is so routinely excellent, it's possible to take him for granted. But one shouldn't. Krauthammer is routinely excellent too — and not to be taken for granted.
A young writer, or any, can find a good example in Krauthammer. Here he is in a 2013 interview: "You're betraying your whole life if you don't say what you think — and you don't say it honestly and bluntly." Here he is in a 2017 email: "I must admit that when I write these days I have the feeling that everything I say is so perfectly obvious that there's no need to write it. Except that these days, that's all the more reason to write it."
Writing the obvious is an underappreciated act — because the obvious is not apparent to all, ever.
When Krauthammer was in college, he read Isaiah Berlin's Four Essays on Liberty. Along with Mill, this gave him a philosophical or political foundation. In 1997, when Berlin died, Krauthammer wrote, "Four Essays is available everywhere. Buy it. Make your children read it before they go to college. . . . And keep one copy at home." I say the same of The Point of It All.
I intend to refer to it for many years to come — going to the index and asking, "What did Charles have to say about this?" In addition to being a stellar book, it is a service: a portable, continuing Charles.

- Make sure wordpress.com, wp.com and their subdomains (*.wordpress.com / *.wp.com) are not blocked by your browser. This also applies to your firewall or anti-virus software settings if you have any.
- Try an alternate browser. If it works, then the issue is with the browser settings. Look for troubleshooting tips on your browser's support documentation.
- Try an alternate computer in the same location. If another computer works, then the issue is computer settings on the first one.
- Try an alternate location that has a different Internet Service Provider. If it works, the issue is with your local network.

Hey lovelies! ❤
Today I'm sharing the card I made for my dad's birthday which was just last week! I think sometimes I rely so heavily on stamped images that I forget you don't always need them to make a fun card! So I decided for this card the main focus would be using dies and ink blending, only using stamps for my sentiment!
I started by die cutting out all of the balloons and their strings from heavyweight white card stock. Once I had the pieces I needed, I used Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed and Peacock Feathers distress inks to colour my balloons. I ink blended heavily towards the bottom of the balloons and faded it to a lighter coverage towards the top to give them some dimension. For the yellow balloons I added a little Spiced Marmalade distress ink to the bottom of them to give a little more contrast. Once they were all coloured I distressed them using my Distress Sprayer.
I used a stencil to blend some Peacock Feathers distress ink on to white card, before cutting out the gift box from it. I adhered the balloons, strings and box all together using some washi tape on the back of them and my glue roller.
I took the scrap piece of card where I had cut the box die from, and blended on to the other side using Mustard Seed distress ink before cutting out the ribbon pieces and the bow using the dies. Once I had die cut all my pieces, I lightly blended over the edges using some Spiced Marmalade distress ink to give them some dimension and adhered them to my gift box using my glue roller.
I then die cut a panel using the largest of the Crazy Stitched Frame Dies and blended some Salty Ocean distress ink on to it, keeping it darkest towards the edges and lighter towards the inside. I proceeded to put some Peacock Feathers distress ink on my stamp block, dilute it with water and splatter on to my panel. I dried it using my heat tool, then prepped my panel and a white strip of card with my powder tool so embossing powder would only stick to where I stamped my sentiment. I stamped my sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black ink and coated it with clear embossing powder before setting it with my heat tool.
I adhered my white strip with the second half of my sentiment on to my card using my glue roller and trimmed off the excess, before adhering my balloons to the left of the sentiment using foam tape. I finished up by backing the entire panel with foam tape and adhering it to my card base.
Thanks for reading lovelies! ❤ What do you use most for making your cards? I think this has definitely inspired me to use dies more often for the focal point of my card. There are lots of amazing dies that can be used this way on the Craftin Desert Divas shop and I can't wait to play with more of them!

Slocum Pl
"Great Memories on Slocum Place"
I spent a lot of time on Slocum Place when I was going to college. My best friend lived on this charming street, which is only two blocks long. It is made up of older, single family homes and there are actually trees on the street. In fact, some of the homes are large enough to include little gardens in the back or on the side. Slocum Place is one of those hidden treasures, since it is carefully hidden, but still very accessible from the major Coney Island Avenue thoroughfare. Although Coney Island Avenue is filled with a variety of commercial businesses, it still is a fast way to get from one end of Brooklyn to another, so living on Slocum Place is ideal. Parking is good and you are close to the subway stop on Cortelyou Road. This is a very private neighborhood, middle class and clean. People who live here have been in the neighborhood for years, so it is not as transient as other places. Prices remain stable and the people living here are middle aged to older. It is still as nice a place as it was years ago, as I visit my friend's family whenever I'm in town.
