Laura Robb talks a great deal about student choice in this chapter and how we might "reshape" writing curriculum for the 21st century. How do you "honor the needs of middle school students" in your writing classroom? Describe your writing program. Do you use a process writing approach or something different? How might you consider reshaping your writing program based on the information and ideas posed in this chapter? What barriers do you face in trying to reshape your writing program?
I think we do a lot right at EJMS, although state testing is all-consuming and this is not good. I know we have tried to honor our students' need for choice and respected their writing, but testing has taken a toll on student choice, especially at the eighth grade level. Many of our teachers have the training and have read the research to support best practices in writing. As the LMS, I play a different role, one that emphasizes reading. As we all know, separating reading from writing is impossible, so why not ask students to write about what they like to read and write. Outside of school, start a after school poetry club that meets for one hour one day a week. Opening a student choice and student driven club based on writing could be one way to provide the needed choice. I realize that this won't attract every student, but I have discovered along my journey that middle school students can and tend to be "closet" poets. Why not invite them to share with others who enjoy writing like they do.
Another way to start looking at and evaluating what we do at our school across grade levels in writing is to do as Ms. Robb suggested, "Invitations for Professional Study" on pages 55-56. She lays out a clear plan that teachers can use starting today. How nice!
I agree wholeheartedly that with our new OD requirements for writing to a text-based prompt, as well as writing to a stand alone, we get hung up on writing to a prompt rather than writing for a real reason. A resource that I have found to be helpful in addressing student choice and engaging topics is WordGeneration.org. This free downloadable curriculum consists of weekly units that each introduces 5 high-utility target words through brief passages outlining controversies currently under debate in our country. The culminating activity after being exposed to an issue and related vocab in all content areas is an opinion piece. This year I am going to take some of these topics and make the Situation/Writing Task more K-Prep like in an effort to give students more "real reasons" to write in a prompted setting.
I agree with you too that writing poetry has great appeal to middle school students, even boys!
Honestly, I feel that our writing program is still somewhat test-driven. It focuses so much on how the test is structured, such as pounding how to write on-demands into the 8th graders. I don't know that we're always taking the needs of the students into consideration. How much choice is given? As Robb points out in the previous chapter, from 300 survey responses, "103 were positive and 197 negative" when it came to the writing that the students did for school. I was thinking "YES!" repeatedly as I read Chapter 2. Collaboration and inquiry have to be part of any writing we do with our kids. As Robb states regarding Pink's work, we are moving away from the Information Age to the Conceptual Age of problem-solving. To reshape the writing program, I would create classrooms that are mini-PLCs, with groups that can address writing based on choice and relevance to them, using a variety of modalities. In those PLCs, as Robb points out, they would need to be able to choose relevant topics to address, to revise and edit their own work based on conferencing with the teacher and peers, and to be given positive recognition for any project roles they play, whether it is as a researcher, a graphic designer, a videographer, an animator, or an outstanding copy writer. Ideally, each student would be a valuable member of the PLC, possessing Gardner's disciplined, synthesizing, creative, respectful, and ethical minds. I think the greatest barrier would be adhering to the thinking that caused the one parent Robb quoted to say, "That's what I did in school." I have really enjoyed reading this chapter. It validated a lot of the things that I already believed. I also feel privileged to read the interesting and informative comments everyone in the group has been contributing. I'm revved up about going to school this week!!
This year at Winburn we're going to revise our writing plan to incorporate 21st century writing skills and opportunities. I took a closer look at the Writing Next and Writing Now mentioned by Laura Robb, and as I was reading, I remembered a summer literacy PD offerered by the Kentucky Cognitive Literacy Model. When I went back through a binder, I found a copy of Writing Next. The model provides a variety of modeling and best practices that many Language Arts teachers at Winburn provide. The direcction it takes student writing provides for more realistic student ownership with meaningful writing opportunities that promote authentic writing.
As the writing cluster leader, I want to shape out Writing Plan to incorporate many of the practices such as mentor text modeling, conferencing, problem solving, and collaboration among stuents with their peers. :aura Rpbb mentions of pages 73-74 on putting the questioning into the hands of the students. This is where I need to guide and then turn it over to the students for them to develop their own thinking about writing.
This year with my students we are working with journals that provide original writing in various stages and reader's response. We'll focus on mentor text as a model for analyzing the writier's craft and style. In turn, students will have the oppoturnity to write their own pieces. Also students have worked with annotating text as a way to analyze what the writer is saying, but mostly to monitor themselves as a reader, thinker, and writer.
The students will have the opportunity to repsond to blogs and email pen pals to name a few as part of the problem solving process. Tomorrow and Tuesday I will be attending LDC training and am looking forward to see how the LDC model will fit into the writing plans. I understand it is designed to promote research and critical thinking and analysis.
I was also thinking about the Writing Program Review and how it now places writing uder the microscope as to how writing is being implemented throughout all content. The demonstrators provide for an analysis of student writing opportunities, teacher professional development to address student writing and evaluation, administration support, etc.that is aimed at providing students and staff with writing development and analysis that is aligned with common core and 21st century writing skills. There is so much going on---whew!

As I stated, my focus is on the reading standards. Another teacher on my teams deals with the wriitng standards and is responsible for having students compose "pieces" of writing. However, it is impossible for me to teach reading without asking students to do some writing. I try to allow for some student choice, but upon reflection, I realized that my "choices" are usually limited to what I want them to write about. I don't let them write freely about feelings, etc. My concern with that is that I will be reading somehing that "alerts" me to problems.
As for 21st century skills, I am laking in that regard in my instruction. I signed up for edmodo last year but I have never gone any farther with it. We are limited in technology in our community, which poses a problem. I am not as comfortable as I should be with the technology--I don't even have an iPhone!--so I tend to not pursue technology as an option.
Unfortunately, we often perceive On Demand writing as a barrier to giving students the writing choice they want and need. Fortunately, however, there are now many more online resources available to us to help us make our prompted writing more appealing. One that particularly comes to mind is Scholastic's Scope. This magazine routinely includes controversial topics that give two sides of a debate that can be easily converted to an On Demand format in which students can voice their opinions - backed up by textual evidence, of course Another resource that speaks to student choice and interest is the topics addressed in WordGeneration.org. Each of these topics is designed to elicit student opinion after the topic and related vocabulary (5 target words) have been addressed in ELA, Social Studies, Science, and Math. It is worth checking out and it is free!
Thanks for recommending the resources. I'll definitely check them out.
I am so glad to be a part of this diverse group of professionals. As I jump back into the classroom after spending 12 years in the media center, I find myself very Standards focused. I'm constantly checking to see that everything I do matches my 43 7th grade ELA CCSS. So my mind says, "Yikes!! Let them free write? Let them write in ways that don't match the writing standards? I don't have time for that." But my heart, the heart of a writer, tells me that I have to include those types of writing in my classroom. I just feel such pressure with 50 minutes a day to cover all the Standards.
So far this year we have done a lot of reading response writing and we've done different types of reading, always referring to the writer and how they crafted the work. We haven't done any revision of anything the kids have written.
I like that Laura Robb suggests we let students use their writing as a way to serve. I can see my students writing articles and letters to the editor of our local paper supporting good causes and pleading the cause of charities.I can see them doing great writing because they believe in something.
I believe that students have many needs when it comes to the writing classroom. The problem is, these needs cannot be met if students are not interested in the topics they are writing about. Student choice in writing is key to student success. Students cannot develop voice as a writer if the topic is dry. I feel that when topics are assigned to students, the teacher is giving the students an obstacle to jump over and overcome. Some students will jump over that obstacle and keep going, while others will stop at that obstacle and not even try. If a student is not interested in a topic they will complete the assignment as fast and painlessly as possible, turn it in, and try to never think about it again. Teaching middle school students to revise and edit would be very difficult if a student isn't invested in their writing. If a writer demonstrates passion for a subject it will be evident in their writing and the amount of effort they are willing to put into it. Getting to know your students can assist you to helping them find topics they care about. As the text demonstrated, by reading student work you might be able to see an interest in mysteries that the student isn't even aware of. I think a lot of student choice can be incorporated into the classroom. Students can be given a choice of three books to pick for a unit. They can choose the topic of a research paper. They can choose the genre of writing they want to do for an assignment. There are many ways that we could bring student choice into the classroom and I feel the benefits will be very evident. All of these ideas, among many others, will shape my writing program.
I agree that we need to give students choice in their writing, which I try to do as much as possible in the classroom. I also agree that we have to spend too much time on On Demand writing that takes away from student creativity and choice. I generally take the students through the writing process, but find that the expectations are generally low with a time table for this. I see teachers spending a month or more of class to write one piece. I think we need to increase the rigor of our classes when it comes to writing expectations. The biggest problem I see is when it comes to the peer revisions portion. Middle school students don't seem to understand the revision process. They usually just read their peer's paper, say it's good and then they are done. I have incorporated the use of highlighters with a revision checklist to make students find elements like the topic sentence, support and transitions. This extra step really helps students see what is missing from their writing.
I have always believed that collaborating in writing helps the writer explore various areas of their topic and form new creative ideas. Middle school students naturally love to talk so you would assume they could collaborate with writing easily. However, I agree with Jill that middle school students don't really understand effective peer revision. Adolescents are apt to tell their peers that their writing was great and be ready to move on to the next thing. I really liked Jill's method of using a revision checklist and highlighters for peer revision. This method provides students with a structured guide to go by when revising a peer's paper. We must remember that we, as adults, have a tendency to reflect on our own writing and others writing but adolescents need to be led to this point. I also agree with Robb's idea of using "compelling questions that relate to students' lives; tapping into these can produce writing that speaks to the soul" (39). I believe that teachers must challenge their students to find their "fire" or passion for writing in order to yield creative, analytic writers.
One of the things that I think is really important in all classrooms, but especially in a writing classroom, is giving students choices, responsibility, and essentially, agency. Students need to be able to have options with an assignment, and not necessarily in what they're going to write about, but even with the medium that they use to present and create. If students are expected to do some sort of project on something that they read, allowing them to use technology tools such as Voicethread will still allow them to meet the standards the task is expected to cover while not just making the same old project and talking to people.
When I wrote a major paper for my Alexander Pope class, we had this really cool sheet that showed us how to critique our classmate's paper. It was very structured, gave us a really great way to find ways to add comments, and was relatively simple to get through. I think this can be used with students of all ages, and it reminded me of the checklist that Jill describes for revisions, but it was more like a process of reading the paper rather than just a list of things that students need to make sure they do.
Obviously, one of the biggest barriers to this is simply time. Creating a writing climate in which students write multiple drafts, revise with each other and conference with the teacher is going to require a little more time than the traditional "this paper is due on Friday, I'll return grades next week." Also, there are seemingly a thousand skills we have to make sure that students are getting in their writing classes, and it seems hard to cover that breadth of writing styles and techniques in the classroom. It's important to do things like have a clear and structured process for doing a revision, have assignments that are well-planned and geared towards accomplishing many skills, and simply being aware of when students aren't engaged with an assignment to go back and rethink things.
I agree that students need a choice in what they are writing. I think it is important to give students a choice to use their voice. I believe that if students were given a chance to write about their own topics, they wouldn't be as hesitant to write. It can be really hard for teachers to teach students who are not interested in writing. Students can use their choice whether it is for a quick write or a poetry lesson. I think giving students the freedom to write what they feel or think can really help open up the classroom into a supportive and sharing environment. Students are more likely to participate and share on things that they chose to write rather than an answer on a grammar worksheet. I think teachers need to be aware of this, especially at a middle school level. Writing may the only way for students to express themselves and teachers can really use this to their advantage if they give the students the choice.
I haven't had the opportunity to have my own writing classroom yet, but when I do student choice will defiantly be a top priority. Laura Robb didn't convince me of this she just reinforced the idea. I had the chance to substitute in a rural middle school in central Kentucky. The teacher there told me of the struggle that she had when it came to getting her students to write. Her solution was to let them write about their "passions". For example, when writing argumentative essays she let them write about topics of their choice. Many of the students who had never shown an interest in writing before were suddenly writing wonderful pieces about deer hunting, title nine, and skateboarding. Students are just like us, if they are not engaged then they will not be motivated. It is our job as educators to make sure that this doesn't occur.
I think often students do not have a lot of choice in what they write because we are so focused on getting them to write for the standardize test and then our standards are very specific about the type of writing pieces they need to complete. Part of the problem is that it is easier to have students write about the same topic because the teacher can model and give the information that needs to be included, but that is one thing that is turning students off of writing. Also, I see often in my school that students see writing a piece as you write out a rough draft, type it and turn in it. After years of going through the writing process and portfolios where a piece was revised to death, I've seen many teachers, including myself, slack on using the process of writing. There has to be a happy medium. I really liked at the beginning of the chapter how Robb discussed getting kids to write about things they are interested in the classroom that was reading The Diary of Anne Frank. Fairness and social justice are always topics that interest middle schoolers.
We just developed a school-wide writing plan with our faculty. Although we had one in the past, it was written by one or two people and not many people knew about it, and even fewer implemented it. The writing instruction that did take place was mainly in the ELA classes, and focused mainly on on-demand writing. This is changing. Participating in the program review process really illuminated for us an urgent need for a systematic writing program.
For this first year of implementation of a school-wide writing program, we are focusing on classroom practices and students' writing experiences. In our ELA classes, students are taught how to use the writing process through a writing workshiop approach. In our content classes, we expect our teachers to use this process as a tool for helping students engage in the content. Along those lines, we want students to experience meaningful writing for a variety of purposes. Our plan calls for students to write at least one authentic writing piece each semester in every content area. This has generated a school-wide discussion over what makes writing "authentic"? Navigating through conversations like these is priority right now in terms of reshaping and increasing the rigor of our writing program.
As an Instructional Coach, I am not responsible for planning a writing program for a classroom, but I am responsible for getting all teachers to know that writing is something that should be happening in all contents, not just the language arts classes. It is hard for teachers to sometimes understand that writing is a means in which kids can show how much they understand. Little by little, we are getting to the point where teachers do not feel they have to stop WHAT they are teaching in order to do writing. I think we have to give students choices, but I also think we have to help teachers realize that authentic writing in math class might not be a poem; it might be explaining how the students worked a problem. Another thought, since students like to have choices, and since teachers are responsible for covering so much content, maybe in LA class we could give them the choice to work on a content piece during the LA time. Content teachers could give them some choices on the topic they are teaching, and the student could decide which content they wanted to focus on during a certain time period. In other words, you might have a couple of kids writing a historical fiction for social studies, a small group working on a science research paper, and still another group working on writing a letter to their congressman. Students would have a certain amount of freedom to choose their own topics.
When it comes to writing in my classroom, I try to focus on the testing standards and on-demand only because that's what I was told to do. This is only my 2nd year teaching, but last year I attended some PD on on-demand writing, and that seems to be the only focus of our school at this point, although I do give students an opportunity to free write in their journals 3 days a week as the bell-ringer assignment. Of course, you have the students that say, "I don't know what to write about," so I do provide a prompt (either something silly or a photo) for them to think and write about.
I would love to reshape our writing approach to include more time for personal writing and free writing, as opposed to just writing prompts that are geared towards the test. My biggest barrier is the size of my district. In grades 6-8 we have 2 English teachers, myself and another teacher that has been here for 12 years. Needless to say, I'm not going to come in and reshape much. I do offer my opinion and ideas, but we don't really have meetings or implement any certain plan apart from what we learned at the on-demand PD. In my opinion, we need more time to meet together as a team, develop a plan, and share student writing.
What I would love see happen is that students don't complain when the word writing is mentioned. If they had a chance to write for fun and grow as writers, I think the scores would increase drastically, no matter what prompt is given.
I feel so unprepared for student choice and allowing so much time for free writing. I see my students for 50 minutes a day and I am responsible for all language arts. I don't hear about too much writing going on in my school in the content areas, but I think we are a school on the move; growing and training, so we are on the right track. I am learning a lot through reading the book and appreciate the chance to learn from all of you!
Sorry I am a little behind in posts. It's been an emotional few weeks in my building. I agree with the responses concerning the state test and on-demand writing in 8th grade. I think it's very difficult to honor the students' need for choosing their own topic while trying to teach them the strategies needed to be successful in April. I'm going to try the wordgeneration.com and see if I can implement it. I have a book I love to use for OD writing-Texts and Lessons-Content Area Reading by Daniels and Steineke. It has 75 articles/pictures to use to help students with the new core content.
I am scared to even try to answer this question… I am not sure that I truly "honor the needs of middle school students" which is why I am a part of this group. I understand the concept that students need choice and they "have positive feeling towards teachers who care about them as writers", but I have a hard time distinguishing between the needs of students and the need for students to perform on state assessments. Where is the balance between the two?
Our writing program feels like a hodge-podge of many expectations. We use the process approach to writing – brainstorming, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing assigned pieces. We are required to teach a 3.8 paragraph. We have mandatory Live Score Sessions to practice answering extended response questions for Math, Science, Social Studies, and Language Arts four times a year for which students are required to write to a "4" - with four other required "non-LSS" writing sessions placed in the calendar. We are to teach the steps for On-Demand - as well as preparation for short answer questions. We also use lessons from the Laying the Foundation materials and use the LDC (Literacy Design Collaborative - Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation grant ) template for writing prompts for several pieces each year.
As I type this I have questions about our overriding expectations, so I returned to the actual writing plan for the school… Vision (district draft): Writing is a purposeful act of thinking and expression valued as a multifaceted communication and learning tool which shall be a natural outcome of instruction. Students will write for authentic purposes in authentic roles, including author, scientist, artist, citizen, researcher, and diarist. Writing will be a collaborative process showing growth over time that includes teachers, peers, and authentic audiences.
Perceived Barriers:

Tuesday morning, Jillian from Disasters calls. Apparently an airman named Loolerton has poisoned a shitload of beavers. I say we don't kill beavers, we harvest them, because otherwise they nibble through our Pollution Control Devices (P.C.D.s) and polluted water flows out of our Retention Area and into the Eisenhower Memorial Wetland, killing beavers.
"That makes sense," Jillian says, and hangs up.
The press has a field day. "air force kills beavers to save beavers," says one headline. "murdered beavers speak of air force cruelty," says another.
"We may want to pids this," Mr. Rimney says.
I check the files: There's a circa-1984 tortoise-related pids from a base in Oklahoma. There's a wild-horse-related pids from North Dakota. Also useful is a Clinton-era pids concerning the inadvertent destruction of a dove breeding ground.
From these I glean an approach: I admit we harvested the beavers. I concede the innocence and creativity of beavers. I explain the harvesting as a regrettable part of an ongoing effort to prevent Pollution Events from impacting the Ottowattamie. Finally I pledge we'll find a way to preserve our P.C.D.s without, in the future, harming beavers. We are, I say, considering transplanting the beaver population to an innovative Beaver Habitat, to be installed upstream of the Retention Area.
I put it into PowerPoint. Rimney comes back from break and reads it.
"Innovative Beaver Habitat?" he says.
"I say we're considering," I say.
"All hail to the king of pids," he says.
I call Ed at the paper; Jason, Heather, and Randall at NewsTen, ActionSeven, and NewsTeamTwo, respectively; then Larry from Facilities. I have him reserve the Farragut Auditorium for Wednesday night, and just like that I've got a fully executable pids and can go joyfully home to my wife and our crazy energized loving kids.
Just kidding.
I wish.
I walk between Mom and Dad into the kitchen, make those frozen mini-steaks called SmallCows. You microwave them or pull out their ThermoTab. When you pull the ThermoTab, something chemical happens and the SmallCows heat up. I microwave. Unfortunately, the ThermoTab erupts and when I take the SmallCows out they're coated with a green, fibrous liquid. So I make ramen.
"You don't hate the Latvians, do you?" Dad says to me.
"It was not all Latvians done it," Mom says.
I turn on Tape 9, "Omission/Partial Omission." When sadness-inducing events occur, the guy says, invoke your Designated Substitute Thoughtstream. Your D.S.T. might be a man falling off a cliff but being caught by a group of good friends. It might be a bowl of steaming soup, if one likes soup. It might be something as distractive/mechanical as walking along a row of cans, kicking them down.
"And don't even hate them two," Mom says. "They was just babies."
"They did not do that because they was Latvian," says Dad. "They did it because of they had poverty and anger."
"What the hell," says Mom. "Everything turned out good."
My D.S.T. is tapping a thin rock wall with a hammer. When that wall cracks, there's another underneath. When that wall cracks, there's another underneath.
"You hungry?" Mom says to Dad.
"Never hungry anymore," he says.
"Me too," she says. "Plus I never pee."
"Something's off but I don't know what," Dad says.
When that wall cracks, there's another underneath.
"Almost time," Mom says to me, her voice suddenly nervous. "Go upstairs."
I go to my room, watch some World Series, practice my pids in front of the mirror.
What's going on down there I don't watch anymore: Mom's on the landing in her pajamas, calling Dad's name, a little testy. Then she takes a bullet in the neck, her hands fly up, she rolls the rest of the way down, my poor round Ma. Dad comes up from the basement in his gimpy comic trot, concerned, takes a bullet in the chest, drops to his knees, takes one in the head, and that's that.
Then they do it again, over and over, all night long.
Finally it's morning. I go down, have a bagel.
Our house has this turret you can't get into from inside. You have to go outside and use a ladder. There's nothing up there but bird droppings and a Nixon-era plastic Santa with a peace sign scratched into his toy bag. That's where they go during the day. I climbed up there once, then never again: jaws hanging open, blank stares, the two of them sitting against the wall, insulation in their hair, holding hands.
"Have a good one," I shout at the turret as I leave for work.
Which I know is dumb, but still.
When I get to work, Elliot Giff from Safety's standing in the Outer Hall. Giff's a GS-9 with pink glasses and an immense underchin that makes up a good third of the length of his face.
"Got this smell-related call?" he says.
We step in. There's definitely a smell. Like a mildew/dirt/decomposition thing.
"We have a ventilation problem," Rimney says stiffly.
"No lie," Giff says. "Smells like something crawled inside the wall and died. That happened to my aunt."
"Your aunt crawled inside a wall and died," Rimney says.
"No, a rat," says Giff. "Finally she had to hire a Puerto Rican fellow to drill a hole in her wall. Maybe you should do that."

Kiss of Snow
Nalini Singh - Author
- eBook - ePub eBook: $7.99
Since her defection from the PsyNet and into the SnowDancer wolf pack, Sienna Lauren has had one weakness: Hawke. Alpha and dangerous, he lost the woman who would've been his mate long ago. Now he walks alone. But Sienna stirs his primal heart, even as he tells himself she is far too young to handle the wild fury of the wolf. Yet as they strip away each other's secrets, a deadly enemy is striking at everything the pack holds dear...but Sienna's darkest secret may savage the pack that is her home-and the alpha who is its heartbeat.
Dear Reader,
I'm so excited to chat to you about Hawke and Sienna's book!
These two have been waiting a long time for their story to be told. At times, I was tempted to rush forward and write their book, because I so desperately wanted them to find their happy ending.
However, that would've done a disservice to both Hawke and Sienna. Part of what makes Kiss of Snow such a strong book, from my point of view, is the emotional journey these two have taken to get to the point where they are able to consider a relationship.
Sienna is no longer the angry teenager we first met, and Hawke is no longer driven by the unadulterated rage Sascha sensed in him in Slave to Sensation. They've grown and become stronger, and—and I think this is so important—they've caused, or been the catalyst for, the emotional changes in one another.
Hawke's reaction to Sienna, and Sienna's to Hawke, has made both characters question everything they thought they "knew," shaking their worldview on the deepest level. Such a shakeup was necessary, because while Hawke might be older, Sienna is his equal in the stubborn stakes.
The age issue is something a lot of people have been concerned about, but for me, it was never the biggest obstacle in their way. I knew from the instant they met that it was always going to be Hawke and Sienna—attempting to pair either one with someone more "suitable" just wouldn't have worked. Sometimes, love isn't easy or uncomplicated, and that's very much true for this couple.
But while their story is intense and emotional, it's also playful and just a little bit wicked. Because after all, we do have a wolf changeling in the mix. Remember, this is the man who finds dangerous amusement in teasing his fellow alpha, Lucas. Now imagine all that sinful wickedness focused on a woman. Would you kick him out of bed? ;- )
I can only hope I've done justice to Hawke and Sienna and their story, and that you fall in love with Kiss of Snow. As always, don't hesitate to write to me if you have any questions.
Warmest regards.

Citi's small business lending rose 21 percent to $9.6 billion in 2012, surpassing the bank's $8 billion goal.
Citigroup Inc. has pledged to loan a total of $24 billion to small businesses over a three-year period. It promised the money in 2010, alongside the Small Business Administration, as part of a push to improve access to lending for smaller companies and help the economy recover from the recession.
With $17.5 billion already lent to small businesses, Citi is likely to lend more than its goal of $24 billion in the three years through December, said Jerome Byers, the bank's head of small business.
Citi's efforts to educate its bankers about what small businesses need and how to provide them the right kind of funding is helping increase lending, Byers said.
The bank's small-business financing last year ranged from loans to lines of credit and credit cards.
"I think you will see us do unique things," Byers said of the bank's plans for 2013. "I wouldn't call it lending, it's more tools and education. That's what small businesses want."
Byers added that the bank will continue to work with community partners to help small businesses this year, pointing to a new program focused on spurring small business growth in lower-income neighborhoods of New York and Boston.
People between the ages of 30 and 49 with significant work experience made up a large proportion of new entrepreneurs last year, according to a new report.
The Startup Environment Index, compiled by the Kauffman Foundation and LegalZoom, found that nearly half of the people who started businesses last year fell into that age group, a higher rate than any other age group. In addition, 57 percent of those surveyed had at least six years of experience in their industry.
The report surveyed 1,431 people who formed businesses through LegalZoom over the past year. The Kauffman Foundation studies entrepreneurship trends, while LegalZoom provides online legal advice to individuals and businesses.
The businesses started last year spanned a wide variety of industries. Consulting accounted for 11.6 percent of new businesses, the largest piece of the pie. Service-related businesses, Internet technology, real estate, business services and retail stores all accounted for at least 5 percent each.
Of those surveyed, two-thirds said they used their own money to start their businesses, while 10 percent used credit cards and another 6 percent tapped into retirement funds. Only 6 percent received funding from outside investors and 5 percent received loans from family members.
Thirty-one percent of those surveyed were women. Kauffman and LegalZoom said that while that may seem low in comparison to women's share of the overall population, it's in line with similar previous studies.
Two U.S. senators have introduced a bill that they say will make it easier for small businesses to get the help they need in times of disaster.
The Small Business Disaster Recovery Act, introduced by Louisiana Democrat Mary Landrieu and Mississippi Republican Thad Cochran, is designed to help Small Business Administration disaster programs better respond to small business needs.
Landrieu, who serves as chair of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, said the longer small businesses have to wait for help, the less likely it is they will recover. The legislation would help cut through the red tape for businesses seeking smaller amounts of disaster funding, speeding up the process, she said.
The bill also says that for disaster business loans of less than $200,000, the SBA cannot use a business owner's home as collateral if their business has enough assets to secure the loan, helping to protect those homes in case of default.
It would also allow out-of-state small business development centers to help out in areas struck by disaster — areas that previously had been outside their geographic reach.

If you want to keep the pump inline, it might cause severe restriction or stop the flow entirely if it is a "diaphragm' pump, rather than a centrifugal one.

Portman bows out of presidential golf outing
The Columbus Dispatch - May 07, 2013 7:05 PM
President Barack Obama – as part of his plan to woo members of the GOP – recently invited Sen. Rob Portman to golf with him, but Portman was unable to go because of a prior commitment – and he said doing so was probably good for both the president and the golf course.
"I am so bad," the Ohio Republican said of his golf game during an appearance at the Peter G. Peterson Foundation Tuesday. "I'm such a hacker."
Portman, who was among the guests appearing before the foundation Tuesday, said he has high hopes that an upcoming need to increase the country's debt limit might spark a long-term agreement on debt and deficit reduction. He said many of the big budget agreements during recent years, such as the 1990 budget deal and the Gramm-Rudman deal of 1985 occurred as a result of negotiations over the debt limit.
He said some in his party don't have much urgency over reaching a deal, and are considering holding off until the 2014 or 2016 elections.
"I don't think the country can wait," he said.

Photograph of emigrants on the Empress of Ireland from a postcard dated July 1911 from the Maritime Archives| collection, reference PR 478.
See highlights from the display in the object gallery|.
Two years after the Titanic disaster, Liverpool suffered another major shipping tragedy. This was the sinking of the Empress of Ireland in May 1914.
The Empress of Ireland and her sister, the Empress of Britain, were important ships. They were the first passenger liners to be built especially for the Canadian Pacific Line's growing emigrant trade from Liverpool to Canada. The two Empresses provided a weekly service from Liverpool, starting in May and June 1906. Larger, faster and more comfortable than their rivals, they soon became the most popular ships on this route.
Tragedy struck the Empress of Ireland on 29 May 1914 at about 2.30am, soon after she left Quebec, Canada. Most of her 1054 passengers and 413 crew were asleep. In thick fog in the St Lawrence River, the Norwegian collier Storstad collided with her. The liner sank in less than fifteen minutes. More than 1,000 people lost their lives within four miles of the shore.
The loss of the 'Forgotten Empress' has always been overshadowed by the Titanic and Lusitania disasters. However, more passengers (840) died on the Empress than on either Lusitania (791), or Titanic (817). 172 crew, mainly from the Liverpool area, also died.

Post subject: Top tips
I'd like to put up a "top tips" post here in the forums and in a permanent location on our website. Ideally with screenshots and other goodies.
The inspiration for this idea is this post from Panic:
I figure this can be a FAQ as well. An ever-growing list of things everyone should know about Curio.
So, while I construct this page, what are some tips that you all think I should mention? Here are some quick examples:
Hold q to do a quick zoom.
Spacebar for a expand/collapse of a parent figure in a list or mind map.
The n key will make a figure its natural size.
Turn off level styles if you want independent styling in a list or mind map.
Option-arrow key to insert rows/columns in a table. Option-shift-arrow key to insert rows/columns by increasing the table size.
Edit > Copy, Edit > Paste As > Jump Action to quickly create a jump to a destination figure or idea space.
What else?

Command-/ to minimize the idea space and keep it on top so you can drag information or files into Curio as new embedded assets, then Command-/ again to return Curio to the original layout.
Shift-Command-L to reveal or hide the asset library.
Right click Reveal in Finder or Reveal in Library for access to an embedded file.
Hold down the mouse button on drawing tool icons to make an alternate selection.
Double click a project in the project center to open it in a new window.
Link to entire idea spaces by dragging the target to a source location; and change it to show as icon with idea space title.
Create overview tables using the above technique for handy reference and access across a project or many sub projects.
Create a very visible figure, insert a note like "Final Version", and group with the final version of an embedded asset for rapid recall when you need to revisit the idea space at a later date.
Right click Mail as Attachment is a new favorite.
Shift click a tool icon to immediately insert the figure with default style.
Print as PDF to Curio scrapbook, drag into idea space, the delete from scrapbook.
Email anything to your Evernote account as a convenient way to send output from an application into Curio - especially if you are working from another computer or the iPad that doesn't have Curio.
Good activity to start; I'll have to think about others I use frequently.

I still think this collection of frequently used techniques to share is a good one if we can get some more users to comment.
Another one that's so simple I hesitate to post it but I find I use it frequently. I have a tendency to need to highlight and label a group of files (like "Input Files", "Reference", or "Final Version" for the finished version / output document from my work). I want those groups of files/assets to stand out on complicated Idea Spaces so I can visually find them very quickly when returning to the idea space later.
I've set up a rounded box with a nice background/thick border and formatted the text to really stand out. I also set it so the text is always adjusted to the left and top of the box using the Inspector options. The resulting figure was then saved as a basic figure style.
Now whenever I want to make a group of items clearly visible, I doubleclick on the idea space above where I want to build the group and enter the text I want like "Final Version". I then right click on the text and choose Apply Basic Figure Style which colors it as expected. I can simply grab the lower right corner of the box and stretch it out however I like over any assets already arranged or to create a new area for some I'll put there. Since the text label was anchored at the top/left, the label is always nicely positioned. Push the graphic into the background of the figures and it all looks great.
Super simple, super quick, and I'm finding it convenient and pleasing.

The old McCormick East hall enters the fast lane. Chicago has long been the Land of the Giants. The biggest events in the country have shuttled in and out of McCormick Place for decades. But now you don't have to run a behemoth to find a comfortable spot down by the shores of Lake Michigan: Completely revamped and reopened in late 1997 as The Lakeside Center, the original McCormick Place East building in Chicago has been reconfigured to serve the small to mid-sized meeting and exhibition market.
There's still a lot of space. For example, there is a 45,000-square-foot ballroom, fully divisible into two 22,500-square-foot rooms, and a new north-to-south divider wall in the 300,000-square-foot Exhibit Hall D.
Internal wiring has been upgraded using a mix of fiber-optic cable and category 5 phone wire. There is a 100BaseT fiber-optic backbone in place, as well as a 10BaseT Ethernet local area network.
Chicago-based Red Sky Technology, Inc. is the Lakeside Center's Internet service provider, offering four levels of connectivity. According to Paula Gral-ler, senior resource manager at Lake-side, the ability to offer bandwidth on demand means organizers can choose anything from dial-up service (with a minimum modem speed of 28.8 Kbps), to dedicated T1 service (1.544 Mbps).
"We constantly monitor the bandwidth through packet shaping technology [a kind of bandwidth management], so clients never need to worry about disruptive spikes in usage during their event," says Graller. "And all of our service levels are charged at flat rates." Lakeside's Internet team is on-site and able to assist clients during all event phases from move-in to move-out.
From Fast to Fastest The Lakeside Center offers dial-up service, workstation service, and workgroup service, in ascending order of speed and complexity, plus dedicated T1 service for conference organizers who have a whole lotta data goin' on. Clients who want to network computers in a booth or room to a single line are welcome to do so, but must supply a hub, and may have to pay additional labor charges for setup. And leasing a TCP/IP address is still a required part of the package, as explained below.
* Dial-up service includes installation of a modem line for Internet access to a booth or meeting room, able to access the Internet at speeds of up to 28.8 Kbps; a TCP/IP address to be used during the event; and the use of Red Sky Technology's domain name system servers during the event (DNS servers permit use of host names, such as www.meetingsnet.com, instead of TCP/IP addresses). Clients must provide a compatible modem, all necessary computer equipment, software, and cables to connect the modem to the computer, and separately order electrical service. The modem line is terminated using a standard voice-grade jack.
* Workstation service includes installation of a 10BaseT network cable to your booth/room, an average of 64 Kbps access to the Internet via a shared T1, use of a secure segmented virtual LAN, a TCP/IP address to be used during the event, and the use of DNS servers.
* Workgroup Service includes everything workstation service includes, but with faster 384 to 768 Kbps access--fast enough to run video--along with six TCP/IP addresses instead of just one.
* Dedicated Service is available for bandwidth hogs. Clients get a whole T1 access line to themselves, and not six but 24 TCP/IP addresses.
Unbundled Service The levels of service available notwithstanding, McCormick representatives stress the importance of ordering electric service to match data transmission needs. Services are unbundled, so ordering Internet access does not guarantee a live electrical outlet in the meeting room 24 hours a day unless you order it.
Lakeside Center and Red Sky Tech-nology typically get exhibit floor installations up and running in the order in which they arrive at the loading dock. If something is going to arrive late but requires early setup, call--and expect an additional service charge.

As the school year comes to an end, I'm thinking about how much of an impact the students have had on my life! I always have to keep in mind that children ARE children and they will do childish things. I'll won't miss waking up early for school but I'll miss seeing their smiling faces and the smiles they put on mine.
Have a great Summer and get ready to learn new things next year!
Mr. B!

ORU Hosts Arkansas in Monday Night Battle
Live video coverage of the game is available for ELIve subscribers on ORUGoldenEagles.com. Live radio is available on KYAL-AM 1550 in Tulsa and around the world at ORUGoldenEagles.com. Coverage begins at 6:45 pm CT.
ORU is 2-0 after a 73-41 triumph over UT-Arlington on November 16. Kevi Luper had a masterful performance in the victory, recording 32 points, seven rebounds, six steals and three blocks in just 29 minutes of action.
Luper's senior running mates were also huge in the win over UTA. Savanna Buck tallied her first double-double in nearly two years with 13 points and 11 rebounds, while Jaci Bigham dished nine assists.
ORU held Arlington just five field goals and forced 16 turnovers in the second half of play. The Golden Eagles also dominated the glass, 47-33.
Luper was named Southland Conference Player of the Week for her 23-point performance in ORU's season opening victory over Tulsa, and she is the only Southland Conference player on the Naismith Trophy Early Season Watch List.
The Razorbacks are 2-0 on the season after thumping Jackson State on November 9, 97-56, and squeaking by Tulsa, 64-56, in overtime on November 15.
Calli Berna has been the top Arkansas contributor so far, averaging 15.0 points and 6.0 assists per game. Her best performance came against Jackson State, when she scored 22 points and dished seven assists. Teammate Keira Peak had a monster performance against Tulsa, with 17 points and 14 rebounds, and for the season she averages 12.0 points and 10.0 rebounds per game.
As a team, Arkansas was picked 9th in the SEC Preseason Poll after going 24-9 and advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season.
Arkansas Head Coach Tom Collen is the reigning SEC Coach of the Year and holds a 95-66 record in five-plus seasons at Arkansas. ORU's Misti Cussen is 2-0 in her first season leading the Golden Eagle club.
ORU is 8-16 all-time against Arkansas and has lost 11 straight meetings with the Razorbacks.The Golden Eagles fell to Arkansas in their last meeting, 65-37, on December 10, 2011 in Fayetteville. Luper scored 11 points to lead ORU, which shot just 23.9% in the loss. Sarah Watkins led Arkansas with 15 points.
ORU's last victory over the Razorbacks came on January 2, 1988, a 77-66 win at the Mabee Center.
ORU last hosted the Razorbacks on March 23, 2011, a 78-59 loss in the 3rd round of the WNIT. The Golden Eagles have not hosted a Southeastern Conference team in regular season play since a 64-60 loss to No. 10 Georgia on December 14, 1997.
ORU has a short turnaround before facing UALR on Wednesday, November 21. Game time in Little Rock, Ark., is booked for 5:15 pm CT.

Hi all dear friends,
This is my first post & just wanna find some friends that due date is around in September, mine is Sep 5th. I am having a son, and this is my first time, so excited but also worried about the labor LOL.
Sleeping is getting uncomfortable while I should turn to other side, my legs are heavy & painful to move.
May God bless & strengthen all expecting moms !
Hi babyjoen. I am due September 16th. I am having a boy and this is my first baby as well. I am excited and worried about the labor as well. Sleeping is very uncomfortable for me, so not getting much sleep.
My due date is a couple of weeks ahead of you! I am due August 15th with a little boy and we are so busy getting ready! This heat wave has made being pregnant a bit of a challenge--what about you? How are you managing the summer heat?
I am Due September 25th with my 5th child, This will be my First Girl. Even after 4 I am still Nervous for number 5, every experience differs from the last so being nervous is normal!! I don't hink I have slept well the whole pregnancy, my best stretch of sleep is actually from 530 am to 830 am Prior to that I wake every hour!! Thankfully my kids are older and I can sleep in!! Good Luck & God Bless!!
Hello, I am also having a son by csection on Sept. 5. I cant wait to see my little man! This is my 5th child and csection. I am so scared.
Welcome to Strong moms and congrats on your pregnancy and upcoming delivery. As you can tell you have found a very supportive place to come, so I hope you will continue to stop in and keep us posted!
we are due September 15th, They told us it's a girl but they could have said it was a cow or anything and I couldn't tell by the picture...
I am due Sept. 28 with my second child and I am having a boy!
Congrats!! This too is my first pregnancy and i am due sept 12. Im having a girl and i understand exactly what you are going through i also find it hard to sleep it helps to keep them elevated at night and to sleep on your side if possible.
I am also worried about giving birth but at the same time im so ready and excieted i just cant wait to hold my daughter!
I wish you and your son the best of luck and i hope everything goes well
I am new to this site, but am also due September 5th. I am having my second little girl and cannot wait to meet her!
I could not find anyone better that is going through the same thing as me right now.lol. Im 32 weeks and counting. although your due before me im due in october and this is my first as well. what i do know is yu are not the only one because i am sooo nervous about labor too sometimes i cannot get it off my mind. what i try to do, as yu should too, is just dont think about it until it is actually time. Mainly because the more yu think about it the more anxiety yu get and i dont feel like its healthy to always be stressed. Keep your head up and know yu will soon have your little baby boy in your arms:) im thinking that exact way right now.lol.
Wow! So many September babies! Congrats to all soon to be moms and dads!

Day of Hiking in Biniaraix
Today I had totally free so last night I decided I wanted to do something fun and adventurous! I've been planning for a while to do a hiking trip but wasn't sure where to. Last night Michele (One of the girls from my program) and I decided on a hike to Biniaraix. This morning we took a bus to Soller and then hiked to another town called Biniaraix. ...
First day of Work
So I had my job interview on Tuesday the 4th and it went really well! It wasn't actually an interview it was more of a "here's what you'll be doing" kind of deal. It's such a nice hotel! Today was my first day working and I was so nervous. I bought a few new work outfits because everyone dresses VERY nicely there!
Today was great! We went to several different fun places! First we headed over to Pollenca. Here we got to walk through a traditional Mallorcan market, all the food was so fresh and delicious! I ended up buying a bag full of strawberries and some green olives stuffed with cheese! Yum:) After the market we walked up 365 steps to reach the top of Puig De Pollenca. There's some significance to the number of steps but ...
Carnival Sa Rua
This week I've been seeing a lot of children dressed up in crazy costumes.. And the closer the weekend got the more adults I saw wearing costumes as well! I finally figured out that this week and weekend Palma, and most other countrys in Europe, celebrate Sa Rua. I have to say I'm not really sure what they are celebrating, but it's been a lot of fun so far! Friday a few of us dressed up like Mimes and went out to celebrate our friends ...
Sunday Funday in Valldemossa, Mallorca
It's Sunday and that means I've made it through my first week of class! I still don't have an internship, but they have a few hotels in mind. I'm also worried about not having an income for the next 6 months and the traveling I'm hoping to do, so I contacted Antonia (my UiB and CIEE advisor) and she asked if I'd be interested in tutoring someone in English. I hope this works out! What a great way to earn a bit ...

20120 Van Aken Blvd, Shaker Heights, OH | Directions 4412241.465605 -81.537982
Neighborhoods: Shaker Heights
When I first relocated to Shaker we tried the restaurant based on online reviews and were woefully UNDERWHELMED by the quality and taste of the food. We decided to try them again, maily because its almost impossible to get any carryout food in shaker on sundays that isn't pizza. They don;t open until 5. We called at 6pm, were placedon hold, they never came back. We called back 3 times and were hung up on, while on hold, EACH time. we tried again one final time, and the girl who answered the phone didn;t apologize, just said,"we're very busy right now!" i asked to speak to the owner, and was hung up on again. with hte food being MEDIOCRE AT BEST, the LEAST they can do is offer acceptabel customer service. this is not the case, probably because we are a captive clientele.
The East Side's Best Chinese Restaurant – The pearl has been an east side staple for as long as I can remember.
Nothing has changed: quality ingredients, simple, comfort food, that's not too heavy, not too salty, not too oily, and very flavorful. I've been a regular there for the past 15 some odd years, and have tried just about everything. I usually just get the pad thai with shrimp and chicken; it's my go to favorite meal. But if you want to try something different I also love the cursted pork in Hoisuin barbecue sauce- its an awesome summer dish. The portions are big enough to share (at dinner time) so I come with friends or family and we just order a couple dinner entrees and split a fried rice.
They have the best wonton soup and the best shrimp fried rice in cleveland. And that's just a simple fact, Go to any other chinese restaurant in Cleveland, then compare their wonton soup and fried rice to the pearl's...and you will see that there really is no comparison.
Best kept secret in Cleveland and Shaker Heights – We started going to the Pearl of the Orient restaurant when I was 7 years old. It was my parents' favorite restaurant. I remember when my father got older and more frail by the day, the owner Rose Wong would customize his favorite dishes due to the very restrictive diet he had to adhere to. I am 32 yrs old now and I frequent the Pearl. with my two children.The restaurant has maintained it's high standards in both quality of food and service. Best of all, the attention to detail and customer satisfaction is rare in today's restaurants industry.
Best Chinese on the East Side! – We've made Pearl of the Orient a regular. Everything is fresh and prepared to perfection. We usually opt for take-out, but dining in is always a pleasure, too.
the best – The food and the service here is consistently great.
Everything is always so fresh and cooked so perfectly and is a taste sensation.
This Shaker Heights gem is modest by design but exceptional by taste. – The Scene
The East Side Pearl's multi-level dining room is a spotless, "lite-rock" version of traditional Chinese motifs, a late '70s-chic atmosphere designed for diner demographics that range as far as the Great Wall. Besides an occasional pesky server (seemingly required by law on the East Side), the Pearl experience is excellent, and the balanced dishes consistently delicious.
The Food
A consummate guardian of the tastes and textures of haute Chinese cuisine, the Pearl fills a well-dressed clientele with honey-dipped pork and seafood hot pots. Choosing one of the house specialties requires a quick lesson in upscale-Americanized-Chinese-food speak: Happy Couple joins seared scallops and beef tenderloin tips in oyster-sauce bliss; the table-side preparation called Triple Delight blends land and sea meats in brown garlic sauce.

After leaving NodeJS about 6 month, I still hard to find articles who explain how to running NodeJS services in production mode.

Well, this is not only for NodeJS cases, but you can also implement this solution for running Twisted services.

Thanks, everyone. Sounds like I should steer clear of the AS Cadet-3 & Champion-4 for any use and the Toto Drake II for my rental.
Is it worth spending more for the Eco Drake (I) with SanaGloss for a rental (or am I misinformed, and there are no Eco Drake toilets with SanaGloss)?
Thank you again.

Thompson Square

About Thompson Square
Thompson Square isn't a real place, exactly. It's the musical territory staked out by the husband-and-wife duo of Keifer and Shawna Thompson, an exciting and unpredictable area where country meets rock, rough meets smooth and one vagabond heart finds a harmonious common ground with another. It's the sweet destination where two journeys end and another one begins. "It's the place where we create our thing, a little fantasyland where we live," Keifer says. And now the rest of us get to discover that magical place, starting with the chart-topping duo's self-titled debut album. Fans began truly getting to know their way around Stoney Creek Records' Thompson Square with the release of their GRAMMY nominated #1 Platinum+ radio smash, "Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not," a fitting introduction to the Thompsons' natural chemistry and spirit of buoyant romance. iTunes' Country Song of the Year (2011) grew meteorically to become the Most Played Song at Country Radio in 2011 (Mediabase) as well ...

Hello and welcome! You should make a thread in the critique corner so people can comment on your art and help. The group board is also pretty awesome, you should check it out.
Well lets see how to start this.
I'm 21 English/Irish/Thai/Japanese born in the Uk I'm A games Designer Studio Joint Owner a rock guitarist experimenter and a art experimenter. I'm somewhat inspired by Vk, Not Entirely gender obvious characters, Fantasy,Sci-fi works, and have a side fandom for Mecha.
I Used to draw allot in my youth my mother is a ex manga artist but doesn't have time for it any more. Much to my dismay, I could previously draw humanoid characters quite well at the age of 7-10, but I stopped doing it for years, until I was 17-18 . The last 3 years I've had binge's of sketch's but every time I encounter successive anatomy issues it destroys me and I take breaks for months at a time. I only really ever do sketch's, and not colour things in cause I'm less worried about colouring, and more worried about fixing anatomy issues.
I really like the idea of paintchat or streaming art, amongst other things or just ways of doing colabs a form of teaching method, the same way friends bounce idea's off each other or work together for a common goal as a form of encouragement.
In terms of what I can do I never find myself short of idea's however I'm never able to put them down correctly on paper, I can do some things okay, but full bodies I struggle with badly, and I often find myself cheating by making my mistake in drawing a part of the image by changing what I intended.
I'd like to maybe find someone on this forum like minded or needs a partner in crime*correction* Art Learning* that I can talk with often, or someone just to help me out when the going gets tough. I tried to push some of my own friends into it but they wouldn't step one foot into the circle of starting. So its pretty Quiet. I do however have close contact with a variety of other artists that commission worthy from deviant art community contacts. However there not really the kind of people I can pester for this sort of learning
That being said I have a Da with around 150 sketches, but I'd like to turn around a new leaf and do full bodies when I can.
I was orgionaly introduced to this site by an artist knick named as Endflux he's a games concept artist that pointed out a few guides to me, but al thou I've looked at them several times I just haven't figured out an approach that works for me in practising them.
These two links are months apart but I really did like nouthing inbetween the dates.
This one had a base sketch and I tried to do a lineart over it/neaten the idea (suffering anatomy problems that I couldn't physical correct with my knowledge)
This one was done more recently just for fun one night its not perfect, and I had a few issues, I know I don't draw with any of those stick/guides people use and I probably should but I do struggle to make them demonstrate the correct pose's I try to do.
Above 2 recent sketch's
Below Last Gift Art I Drew
Hello and welcome! You should make a thread in the critique corner so people can comment on your art and help. The group board is also pretty awesome, you should check it out.
Thanks I think I realised afterwards I should of probably put some of this stuff in the critique corner rather then here, and I'l have a furthur look at the tutorial forum section later on. Just waiting for some fresh daylight atm.
hello there welcome to mt :3 you have nice drawings... heheh glad you join us hehee

Thanks bunny, hopefully I can make my drawings look nice beyond the bust/head shots
Thanks JJJorgie I've had a pretty good mood setting day so far talking to a great music artist and getting a look at their art at the same time is just encouraging to find someone like minded to get going with, I'l defently be poking around today .
I just like to personally respond to every welcome you only get to introduce yourself once ! :O/Kind of

If you have dreams of working the police beat on Chicago streets, you'll soon have your chance.
According to the Chicago Police Department, Superintendent Garry McCarthy will start accepting applications for those interested in working on the force on Aug. 1.
The department will also recruit potential officers to make sure the department is fully staffed.
Recently the CPD has hired more than 400 new officers, ramping up the police force to fight crime in the city.
"We recover more firearms in the City of Chicago every year," McCarthy said Monday, "[more] than any other police department in the country."
The superintendent said more than 4,000 illegal guns have been taken off city streets since the beginning of 2013. He also said there is still much to be done.
McCarthy said police would continue to partner with neighborhoods to fight the criminal behavior that has Chicago at the tipping point.
This comes while police investigate the shooting of a four-year-old girl on the South Side.
SEE: Man, 4-year-old girl shot in Chicago Lawn
The little girl is recovering and in good condition after she was shot at 71st and Rockwell in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood Monday night.
Family members said Khalise Weatherspoon was playing outside with friends when two guys ran up the alley and started shooting. She was hit in the stomach.
Emergency crews said Weatherspoon is expected to be okay.
"The kids that are getting shot are innocent kids," Richard Spires told FOX 32 News. "My granddaughter doesn't even know what a gun is, she doesn't even own a gun - it's ridiculous man."
Police said a 31-year-old man was also shot.
The suspects have not been arrested.
