Up Next! "I Don't Give A…" Nire ft Jaq
As you already know, I'm a Nola Darling fan.
And if you didn't know Alex, Jaq, and I throw a party every 3rd saturday of month called Bashment Boogie at the Mandrake in Culver City.
Well, when I got the call that Jaq was in a ill video with Red Bull Music Academy grad DJ Nire…well then… you KNOW I'm on the case to support.

As we proceed with Women's Week, I give you a duo that has truly inspired me.

Interview- Aimee Flint, pt 2
We continue with Aimee Flint as you get to see more of her background and love for music.
Whenever artists get a manager, they usually say the manager should find you, not the other way around. That's because the manager is going to be the first to promote your music and tell people about you. They are going to champion your work. In short, they're already your biggest fan.
Aimee is a shining example of someone who is the biggest fan. Who else would believe in the work as much as her? It starts with her love of music first, then when she finds the artists who have the qualities she connects with, she is going to champion their work. She won't settle for less than what they are worth because she knows their value inside and out. It was refreshing to hear someone who is responsible for the business aspect of everything to actually speak about music from a personal standpoint of love, not just something being "hot" or hearing them say "That album sold ___". While those qualities do say something about the work, the memories attached are priceless. I was also struck by how she prefers CDs, vinyl, and cassettes more than her iPod. I had never heard someone talk about the value of physical pieces of music like her before.
Pt 2-
– Memories of music
– iPods, vinyls, & cassettes
– The new album, Authenticity
Don't forget, the new album comes out October 12th!
You can pre-order it through their website: http://www.theforeignexchangemusic.com/
To show you just how much Aimee rides for her crew, you can spot her in Yahzarah's video for Why Dontcha Call Me No More. She's the drummer with the blond wig in case you didn't notice.
Extra e-props to those who can tell me what character Aimee is portraying from Jem and the Holograms.
And doesn't that leading guy look familiar?

Seattle Publisher Rebuts False Coverage of American Values Awards for Movies
Reports about the American Values Awards for Movies and Television (TM) by global news agencies and the entertainment news media contain factual errors, according to the founder of the Awards, Michael Class. Awards Are Extension of Inspiring American History Photo-Book that Teaches Values.
Issaquah, WA (PRWEB) February 9, 2006
Reports about the American Values Awards for Movies and Television (TM) by global news agencies and the entertainment news media contain factual errors, according to the founder of the Awards, Michael Class.
The common error is the designation of Class as "filmmaker." Class is founder of Magic Picture Frame Studio, a new Seattle-area book publisher dedicated to transforming the way children learn American history and the lessons from it. His company's first release is the museum-quality book, Anthony and the Magic Picture Frame, in which a modern boy time-travels into great events of the 20th century. Amazing digital photos depict Anthony, Class' son, in the cockpit of the Spirit of St. Louis with Charles Lindbergh, on the moon with Neil Armstrong, and on Normandy beach on D-Day. It's all historically accurate: Anthony's conversations with American heroes are based on things they really said. Photos from the book are available at: www. MagicPictureFrame. com
Class uses movies as a teaching tool. His book includes a list of recommended books, movies, music, and places to visit. The American Values Awards are an extension of the nearly 600 movies listed in his book: "Movies every American should see," according to Class.
Other errors appearing in some news reports are:
(1) Statements that Class launched "moral values" prizes. He launched prizes for "American values" and defined the term on his Web site (www. MagicPictureFrame. com). Says Class: "I am celebrating films that portray values Americans hold dear -- values that helped make this country great -- and for helping to pass those values to America's children."
Continues Class: "I did call two films, Syriana and Munich, 'morally confused,' but that's different: Syriana blames America for terrorism, which is just plain wrong; Munich confuses justice with vengeance, and morally equates counter-terrorism with terrorism."
(2) Statements that Class is "unhappy" at the awards success of films such as gay romance Brokeback Mountain. Class emphasizes: "My reason for not recommending Brokeback Mountain is clear: the main character chooses to engage in an adulterous affair that destroys his marriage. It's a tragic tale, but can't make my list because there is no positive behavior to emulate."
"My choices for the best films of 2005 are those that educate, and inspire," Class says. "I think most Americans agree with me. The combined gross revenue of all five 'Best Picture' Oscar nominees falls short of even a single film on my list, Chronicles of Narnia, which was not nominated."
The American Values Award winners for 2005 are: End of the Spear, Cinderella Man, The Chronicles of Narnia, Star Wars: Episode III, Harry Potter GOF, The Great Raid, and Millions. For details about the Awards and the Award winners, visit the Web site: www. magicpictureframe. com
Class has already placed two films on his list for 2006: Glory Road, the inspiring true story of how a small school in West Texas with an unproven coach and an all-black starting team of basketball players changed history; and Flight 93, the true story of the ordinary Americans who fought back against evil on 9/11 and became heroes to remember in the War on Terror.
Says Class: "Glory Road is a story of overcoming prejudice and doing something that is bigger than yourself. In the theater where I watched the film, people stood up and cheered when the movie was over. I did, too. And, Flight 93 is a 'must see' film for every American. It should be shown in every high school in the country."
Class invites people to nominate movies for the American Values Award for 2006 at his Web site.
Anthony and the Magic Picture Frame (hardcover, 225 pages, $35) is available at www. MagicPictureFrame. com, or by calling toll-free: 1-800-247-6553. The book is also available at select bookstores and on amazon. com.
Contact: Michael S. Class (author), 425-222-7562, Magic Picture Frame Studio, P. O. Box 2603, Issaquah, WA 98027-0119. Or contact: Maryann Karinch (publicist), 970-577-8500.

Funeral arrangements set for Shenango Twp. officer killed in line of duty
SHENANGO TOWNSHIP, Pa. - Viewing will continue Tuesday for a Shenango Township police officer who was killed in the line of duty last week.
Family and friends paid tribute to William "Jerry" McCarthy Monday at Saint Vitus church in New Castle. Viewing will continue at the church Tuesday from 1-7 p.m.
McCarthy's funeral is planned for Wednesday and will be followed by a motorcade of police cars.
Shenango's police chief told Channel 11's Jennifer Tomzic that McCarthy was "everyone's grandpa," especially to the 10 other officers, all under the age of 25.
Police said Kylee Barletto was driving on a suspended license when she T-boned a police cruiser that McCarthy was inside of late Thursday night.
Officer Michael Lynch, who was driving the cruiser, was also injured in the crash.
Barletto is facing charges of homicide by vehicle and involuntary manslaughter.

Press Release | April 5, 2016
MetaCommunications Welcomes New VP Of Customer Experience To Exec Team
Industry-Leading Software Maker Strengthens Focus On Outstanding Customer Service
Iowa City, IA – April 5, 2016. MetaCommunications Inc. ("Meta"), a leader in productivity, workflow and content collaboration software for creative and marketing teams, is pleased to announce the addition of Vice President of Customer Experience Jennifer Ridenour to its executive team.
"We're very excited to have Jen join our team. She's passionate about customer experience and we know that our customers will benefit from her deep commitment to delivering outstanding implementation and professional support for our products," says Meta CEO Bob Long.
Meta's flagship product, Workgroups DaVinci, is an award-winning all-in-one software solution used by thousands of the world's leading brands. Its newest release, ProofMe, is a lightweight proofing and annotation tool that allows small teams and solo creatives to gather real-time feedback on PDF, image and video files.
Ridenour brings over a decade of operational leadership experience to her new position at Meta, where she will oversee a cross-functional team of engineers, solutions architects, project managers and business process consultants. In her previous role as COO of The Shipyard, she helped grow the Columbus-based digital marketing agency from 10 to 200 employees, increasing revenue by 50% and net profit by 75% between 2014 and 2015.
"What attracted me to Meta was its products and their unparalleled ability to improve productivity for creatives and marketers. I look forward to partnering with our customers to help them get the maximum workflow benefit from our solutions and to drive even more more impressive business results," says Ridenour.
Ridenour's hiring is the latest milestone in what has been an exciting eight months for Meta. In January, the rapidly-growing company opened an Austin sales office and hired its first CRO. In September 2015, Meta closed an $8M Series A round of funding led by Next Level Ventures.

Implications of the recent measurement of pure annihilation [formula omitted] decays in QCD factorization

Abstract The CDF 3.7 sigma evidence of pure annihilation Bs→π+π− decays, if confirmed, would imply a large annihilation scenario in the QCD factorization approach. This is somewhat unexpected as the large annihilation scenario was disfavored in previous studies. In this Letter we reinvestigate the role of annihilation topology in QCD factorization. We find that it is not easy to reach the CDF central value of Bs→π+π− decays when other decay channels are considered. Our analysis also reveals that, for well-measured charmless B decays into two final pseudoscalar mesons, the QCD factorization predictions with large annihilation parameters show good agreement with the experimental data except Bs→K+K− and Bd→K0K¯0 decays. Though other possibilities cannot be excluded, this may indicate that the SU(3) flavor symmetry breaking should be taken into account for the annihilation topology. In addition, there are different annihilation topologies, so that somewhat different annihilation parameters may be chosen for different final states and different annihilation topologies. If so, the predictive power of the QCD factorization method may be rather limited for many decay channels.

Don't Worry. Waste, Fraud, and Abuse at DISD Hasn't Actually Quadrupled
Update at 5:19 p.m.: Dahlander provides some additional context for the numbers:
Apparently OPR had not received the campus incident reports previously, which can be as minor as an injury on the playground to an upset parent in the office. Now that they receive them and review each one to determine if more investigation is needed (and 99%--at least--do not), they simply add it to the overall total.
The graph above represents the number of incidents reported to DISD's Office of Professional Responsibility, the arm of the district's administration tasked with internal investigations of employee misconduct, among other things. It was presented to the Board of Trustees last week.
Note the trajectory. The line bounces calmly along between September 2010 through December 2011, then shit hits the fan. The number of reported incidents jumps from 70-something in December to a tad over 310 in April. Sure, school's out for half of December so that number's pretty low, but still: Did the district's employees revolt when they heard Superintendent Mike Miles and performance pay might be on the way from Colorado? What's going on?
Turns out, not as much as the numbers indicate. DISD spokesman Jon Dahlander writes:
There is actually no real spike in the number of incidents. The increase in incidents on the graph is due to tracking of campus incident reports and CPS reports submitted to OPR's child abuse office. This was not done before October 2011 for CPS reports and February for campus incidents. Normal incident reports received via hotline have increased by 10 percent.
Phew. That's a relief. No word yet on why DISD began tracking those reports only now, but a more immediate question: Hasn't anyone at DISD heard of an asterisk?

2005 TUG The "Big 70"
2005 TUG The Project Management Lifecycle Phases Project Initiation – Getting Started (assigning the PM) – Developing the Project Charter – Holding the Project Kickoff Meeting Project Planning – Begin status and PM planning meetings and communicating – Developing the Project Plan – Developing the Project Schedule Project Execution & Control (Implementation) – Managing the project processes – Providing the project deliverables Project Closeout – Team, Administrative Closeout – Lessons Learned
2005 TUG The Key Documents / Processes Project Charter – It's acceptance defines the formal project "start" – It provides a high level project definition of goals and critical success factors – It establishes the initial project resource requirements & commitments – 11 page document Background Objectives Critical Success Factors Constraints Project Authority
2005 TUG The Key Documents / Processes Project Plan – It completely details the project's scope, approach, processes, roles and responsibilities, assumptions, budget and schedule – 76 page document referencing two preliminary analysis documents which totals 444 pages!
2005 TUG The Key Documents / Processes Project Schedule – It details the project's activities to the task / resource assignment level, and provides a continuous and current perspective with respect to project cost, schedule and effort, both actual to date and forecast, as well as variance to baseline (original + accepted changes) – Includes Info Tech, NYSDOT, and NYSTA tasks – Maintained in Info Tech's PlanView system – Exported to MS Project for NYSDOT & NYSTA
2005 TUG PlanView
2005 TUG The Key Documents / Processes The Project Management Process … which consists of defining, implementing and managing the following: – Acceptance Process – Issue Resolution Process – Issue Escalation Process – Scope Management Process – Risk Management Process – Communication Process – Schedule Management Process – Quality Process – Team & Vendor Management Process – Financial Reconciliation Process – Change Management Process
2005 TUG The Key Documents / Processes Key Forms and Templates – Project Charter Template – Project Plan Template – Weekly Project Status Report Template – Monthly Project Status Report Template – Meeting Agenda and Minutes Form – Approval Request Form – Change Request Form – Risk Assessment Spreadsheet Other – Project "Notebook" on network share drive – Project "Spotlight" – OIS "Short Form" rollup report (for CIO)
More Key Concepts for Project Management Project Management is a shared responsibility – The IT Project Manager, Program Area Project Manager, and Vendor Project Manager are a Project Management Team Project Management means taking proactive ownership of all aspects of the project – Consider the issues are yours, risks are yours, delays are yours, etc … but an on-time, on-budget delivery is the teams (and yours, too)! Project Management is not just about the forms and reports and templates and project schedule (although it may seem so at times) – These are merely tools to help define, manage and communicate various aspects of the project
2005 TUG Project Execution and Control Managing Communication The Communication Plan The Project Plan includes a Communication Plan Section The Communication Plan Section identifies all communication events for the project, in terms of: – What the event is (weekly meeting) – Who is responsible to initiate it (PM) – Who is involved in it (Team) – Who is a recipient of it (meeting minutes … ) Typical events might include: – Weekly Team Meeting – Weekly Status Meeting – Weekly Status Report – Monthly Risk review meeting – Monthly Status Report (Short and Long Forms) – Quarterly Executive Sponsor Meeting
2005 TUG Project Execution and Control Managing Communication The Weekly Project Status Meeting What it is … – A forum to confirm and communicate project status – A forum to ensure progress in being made – A forum to make sure issues are being addressed – A forum to consider project risks – A forum to be facilitated (& controlled) by the PM What it should not be … – A forum to resolve issues – A forum to surprise or embarrass participants – A forum to force difficult / political discussions – A forum for a team member (including the PM) to vent
2005 TUG Project Execution and Control Managing Communication Weekly Project Status Meeting Suggestions for effective meetings – Start on time, end on time – Invite representatives, not the entire team – Follow the meeting agenda … do NOT jump to the issues first! – Publish meeting minutes to the entire project team afterwards – Make sure minutes are accurate – Don't get bogged down in minutia or in trying to resolve issues – Make sure every issue / action item has an owner, expected action, and due date – In general, it is bad form to assign owners or action items to people not present at the meeting – do so with caution, and with someone at the meeting taking ownership in the "delegation"
2005 TUG Project Execution and Control Managing Communication Other Status Reporting Short form (IT Director's report) – Due COB the 5 th business day of the month – Update key date / staffing information – Summarizes monthly status summary on Schedule and Budget; and key (top 3 or 4) Issues, actions, and/or risks Project Console (Dashboard) – Reports CPI and SPI weekly & Monthly – Reports qualitative data (cost, scope, quality, risk, staffing, customer satisfaction) as red/yellow/green indicators "periodically" (as changed) – Must be updated by COB the 3rd business day of the month
2005 TUG Project Execution and Control Managing Issues Definition of an Issue … – Something not planned, that IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW that is having a NEGATIVE impact on some aspect of your project – If it isn't happening yet, it is not an issue … it is a risk Issue Process 1. Anyone involved in the project can (and should) raise an issue to the PM 2. PM should thank the person for bringing the issue to his/her attention 3. PM should look to team members for input / resolution to the issue 4. PM should log / track the issue to closure 5. PM should escalate the issue if not able to gain closure in a reasonable time 6. Close the issue ONLY when the originator agrees that the issue is resolved
2005 TUG We Have Issues! Currently tracking 284 issues! – 261 Analysis issues 86 High Priority/Urgency 130 Medium Priority/Urgency 45 Low Priority/Urgency – 23 Project issues 17 High Priority/Urgency 3 Medium Priority/Urgency 3 Low Priority/Urgency Reviewed Monthly
2005 TUG Project Execution and Control Managing Risks Definition of a Risk … – Something that COULD happen sometime in the FUTURE that has a NEGATIVE impact on some aspect of your project – If it is happening now it is not a risk – it is an ISSUE Risk Process 1. Initial project risks should have been identified in the Project Plan 2. PM should facilitate a risk review session MONTHLY 3. Risk log should be maintained 4. Strategies should be developed in dealing with the various risk elements 5. Current risk information is reported monthly as part of the project status report
2005 TUG We have Risks! Currently tracking 93 risks! – 21 High Probability / High Impact – 6 Medium Probability / High Impact – 15 High Probability / Medium Impact Mitigation Plans for above categories Monitor remainder Reviewed Monthly
2005 TUG Project Execution and Control Managing the Team Get the "right" team – and use the team you have "rightly" – What skills and competencies does your project need? – Which skills and competencies does your team have? – What's missing? – How will you get it? – What is the impact if you don't get it? – How will you negotiate for it? – Who should be assigned to which tasks? – How do you balance the load? – Should you re-assign work or mentor a team-member?
2005 TUG Project Execution and Control Managing the Team Foster a Team Environment – Establish the project's goals, get the team to buy into them – Empower team members, encourage the team – Get the facts and recognize and reward openly, course- correct privately Enforce Accountability – As a PM, be accountable to the team – Support the team in their needs – Hold the team accountable with assignments & deadlines – Include them in the decision making activities which impact them whenever possible
2005 TUG Project Execution and Control Managing the Project Schedule The starting point is the baseline schedule that was accepted as part of the Project Plan. Any and all changes to the Project Schedule baseline must be done only as a result of an accepted Change Request The entire Project Team needs to be continuously aware of the overall project schedule, the various tasks assigned to them by the PM, and the criticality of those tasks Each team member needs to validate the assumptions for the tasks assigned to them (e.g., their ability to perform, dependencies, effort estimates, duration estimates) and communicate back to the PM if there are issues with those assumptions – BEFORE they begin the tasks

TA Elementary fuses education, technology
"The Apple Store is great!" exclaimed an excited Tunica Academy kindergartner following a class trip on Monday, May 14.
The 16 students spent an hour and a half learning about how to operate an Ipad and use apps in anticipation of a technology wave sweeping the school in the fall. Tunica Academy Elementary Principal Dr. Gary Crowell said students in grades K-6 will have access to five in-classroom Ipads. Two carts, containing 20 Ipads each, will also be available. One cart will be shared among kindergarten, first, second and third grades and the other will be circulated between fourth, fifth and sixth grade students.
Crowell said the technology will be used in a variety of ways.

About this product
- SynopsisSCT and Maksutov telescopes - which of course includes the best-selling models from Meade, Celestron, and other important manufacturers - reverse the visual image left for right, giving a mirror image. This makes it extremely difficult to identify lunar features at the eyepiece of one of these instruments using conventional atlases, which show the Moon upside-down with south at the top. This new SCT version of Hatfield's famous lunar atlas solves the problem. Photographs and key maps in the Hatfield SCT Lunar Atlas are exactly as the Moon appears through the eyepiece of an SCT or Maksutov telescope. Smaller IAU-standard reference photographs are included on each page, to make it simple to compare the mirrored SCT photographs and maps with those that appear in other atlases. This edition uses the superb original photographs taken by Commander Henry Hatfield using his purpose-built 12-inch reflector.,The first photographic lunar atlas to show the Moon as it appears through SCTs the world's most popular telescopes! Features the superb photographs from the original Hatfield Lunar Atlas Detailed key maps for every photograph identify lunar features Inset IAU-standard photographs, to help users learn to identify features on conventional Moon maps

Table Of Content
- Table Of ContentIntroduction[Contents Table not applicable, because it is a book of maps]
- ReviewsFrom the reviews:"This book was the last and posthumous work of the noted British amateur astronomer … . the observer can study the moon with the eyepiece in one hand and the lunar atlas in the other, matching the part of the moon observed with the photographs and maps in the other. It is an effective, fast way of learning the Moon. … an amateur's introduction to the magic of lunar observing, this is perfect and experienced observers will enjoy the photographs and maps just as much." (Brian Harvey, Astronomy and Space, August, 2006)"The Hatfield SCT Lunar Atlas was developed specifically to help amateur observers locate the objects they observe … . The atlas is divided into 16 sections, each of which contains a map and photographic plates showing the Moon at different 'ages' and lighting conditions. There is also an index of named formations, complete with map references and latitude/longitude figures. … This is a relatively simple book … will be of great interest to any serious telescopic observers of the Moon." (International Space Review, 2006)"In the late 1990s Henry gave his permission for the British Astronomical Association to republish the atlas … . The result was a modern and very readable lunar atlas that, just like the original, showed the Moon exactly as it would appear through a beginner's telescope, at each lunar phase. The strength of the atlas has always been that it shows the Moon clearly … . The Hatfield SCT Lunar Atlas is as valuable to beginners as it has ever been." (Martin Mobberley, Astronomy Now, 2006)"This book takes a classic work and brings it up to date for the modern observer. … For those just starting out, this atlas can be picked up, opened and used to find the crater that is being seen through the telescope. More experienced observers can also use it to identify those small features. Those who have … to make the investment in an instrument may wish to study the surface enabling a faster identification of topographical features." (AlanWells, Journal of the British Astronomical Association, Vol. 116 (1), 2006)

How do you know your App is successful? Apple tries to put you out of business...
Stephan Budge stashed this in Fixitfixitfixit!
Stashed in:
Interesting article on the risks of developing applications that are really useful.
This is a reminder that whatever you do, be excellent.
If you're an excellent coffee shop and Starbucks opens next to you, you will get more customers because you are excellent.
If you're an excellent pizza place and Dominos opens next to you, you will get more customers because you are excellent.
If you're Dropbox or Instapaper and Apple makes an app like you available, you will get more customers because you are excellent.
It doesn't hurt to be unique, too. ;)
One of the best quotes I got out of my research on this is: "Apple is DEFINITELY not going into the dentistry business." i.e. If you make an absolutely killer app that serves dentists, you can be pretty sure that, in that vertical, you'll encounter no competition from Apple.
Which is true but, for those of us who like pushing technology forward in the general aspect, it's most definitely a reminder to be excellent. The Instapaper founder posted a blog post along the same lines: http://www.marco.org/2011/06/06/safari-reader-and-instapaper
(awesome blog post, Adam)
Thanks Josh! I think Marco from Instapaper is right, and I find it fascinating that Dropbox didn't even mention it on its blog.
Come to think of it, I didn't list competition as one of the 11 reasons why starting a company is hard.
I truly believe that no one can defeat you but you. No one can defeat a company but that company itself.
When the going gets tough, the tough figure it out. And then go shopping.

That vinyl roofing systems with the Energy Star® rating must reflect at least 65 percent of solar heat, reducing air conditioning costs?
While the exact origins of wallpaper are obscure, the first known decorative wallpaper dates back as far as the late 15th century, soon after the introduction of papermaking in Europe. Although it is generally believed that the Chinese invented wallpaper, there is no evidence of its general use in Asia any earlier than the time of its appearance in Europe. The earliest wallpapers were hand-painted or stenciled. Later, during the 17th century, decorative techniques such as block printing and flocking were adopted. At the end of the 17th century, Chinese papers, generally referred to as India papers, began to arrive in Europe. These highly prized papers were unique in design and Europeans quickly attempted to copy the designs using etched plates or woodblocks, with color applied by hand or stencil.
During the 18th century, wallpaper manufacturing became much more sophisticated and designers began to explore many more decorative possibilities. In France and England, chintz patterns, satin grounds and stripes became popular and technical advances began to make wallpaper more widely accessible. In 1785, Christophe-Philippe Oberkampf invented the first machine for printing wallpaper. Shortly thereafter, Louis Robert designed a process for manufacturing endless rolls.
While the French were famous for their fine designs, the English were known for advances in the production techniques, especially in the mid-19th century with advances in machine-printed wallpaper. In the 1840s to 1860s, the work of William Morris and the Arts and Crafts Movement created a revolution in wallpaper design, characterized by flat, stylized, naturalistic patterns and rich, subdued colors. Few important advances occurred during the next 100 years. The 1950s and '60s brought significant developments in wallpaper design and manufacture. New processes enabling designers to decorate wallpaper with photogravure and high-speed techniques were developed to replace the more traditional screen-printing and woodblock methods.
Finally, after World War II, the entire industry was revolutionized with the appearance of plastic resins - especially vinyl - which offered stain resistance, washability, durability and strength. In addition, manufacturers introduced pre-pasted, pre-trimmed and strippable wallcoverings to cater to an increasing do-it-yourself market.

Monday's Riddle: Deep Songs...
Unearthly tones from the deep sing songs that lull you into sleep. Giants swimming in the blue drift on Mother Nature's cue. Romantic mysteries, destinations unknown; grouped in pods or all alone. The largest seen of its kind, albeit notoriously hard to find.
What am I referring to? Stop by Wednesday for the answer!
I gave you a clue!

Can They Escape the Wave?
Thirteen year old Kyle is excited for his family vacation. He gets to fly on a plane for the first time and see the Pacific Ocean during their visit to Oregon's coast. As they are checking into the hotel Kyle sees a bully, Daren, from school. When Kyle's parents go to an awards ceremony out on a large ship off the coast, they leave him to watch his sister, BeeBee, for the night. An earthquake hits and the hotel is on fire. They see Daren and try to help him get outside. Free from the flames, they feel safe. Kyle remembers a sign he saw at the beach about giant waves that can come after an earthquake. The sign said to get to higher ground. They had to get moving! Kyle tries to convince Daren to go with them, but he won't listen. Kyle and BeeBee start to trek up a nearby mountain. He's not sure how high up they need to go, but he knows they need to get away from the ocean. Along the way they find an elderly couple who is out walking their dog, trying to get to a safe place. Will a tsunami hit? Can l Kyle and BeeBee survive if it does? What will happen to their parents and Daren? You'll have to read this fast paced book to find out how it all ends.
Escaping the Giant Wave by Peg Kehret was a page turner. I have read other books by this author and have enjoyed them all. I thought Kyle and BeeBee both seemed like characters I could relate to and because Kyle was 13 it made sense that his parents left them alone for the evening so they could go to the ceremony. It was easy to relate to Kyle's disappointment when he found out that someone who was mean to him at school was staying at his hotel. From what I could see of Darren he didn't act very kind! I can't imagine how scary it would be to be in a major earthquake. This is a great book for kids who like realistic fiction and lots of action! I learned a lot of survival tips from the story too! I look forward to reading more books by this author.
Has anyone else read Escaping the Giant Wave? Or have you read another book by Peg Kehret? We'd love to hear your thoughts!
Happy Reading!

Surface friction gets me going, depending on which wind is blowing. I'll slip softly onto shore or rush in crashing at your door. Carrying treasure from the deep, I'll drop it off for you to keep. I may be ridden or left in tow- I come, and then I go. I'm the whole fluid space, caught up in a ripples pace. Not at hand for hi and bye; greetings met are low and high.
What am I? Answer: Wave!

Margo's Musings: One Plastic Bag Solution
"People thought I was too young and that women couldn't be leaders. I took these things as challenges; they gave me more power. I didn't call out the problems. I called out the solutions." ~ Isatou Ceesay
The true story of how one woman looked at the plastic bags littered around her and came up with a way to make a difference. When Isatou Ceesay was growing up the bag she was using to carry items through her village ripped, and when she released it into the wind, she knew it would once again become part of the dirt. All around her she saw people using plastic bags and began to use them herself. Over time she noticed plastic bags on the ground, hundreds discarded by people when they were ripped or broken. As a grownup, Isatou looked around and saw the beautiful Earth with colored bags everywhere. When she finds out that farm animals have been swallowing the bags and dying she decides to act. Grabbing at first only a few bags, and then as many as she can carry, she brings them home. With the help of her friends she washes them and hangs them to dry. Once her sister teaches her to crochet Isatou and her friends begin cutting the discarded bags into long strips and they crochet them into bags. People laugh at them and call them names. But, when they bring the bags to the market place they begin to sell. Isatou earns money and the garbage piles continue to shrink.
The bright colors and textured illustrations really draw in the reader. My sister, Margo, was fascinated by the pictures. The crinkled plastic bags and the scenes really popped on the pages. I loved seeing how Isatou saw a problem and instead of complaining, she decided to make a change. The change started with her, but her friends helped and together they made our planet prettier. This is something we can all do! Looking around we all see trash and things that are falling apart. It is amazing to think that if we all decide to clean up our area that eventually we will have a clean Earth. When Margo and I finished reading we walked around our yard looking for things we could clean up. Luckily, there wasn't much, but I plan to walk around some busier areas of town with my friends and I know we will find trash that didn't make it into the garbage or recycling bin. Who knows- maybe one of us will come up with a clever way to transform something we see!
One Plastic Bag Isatou Ceesay and the Recycling Women of the Gambia is a wonderful book for anyone who likes to learn about people who are making the world a better place. Earth Day is coming up on April 22nd and this would be a perfect book to read together to get ideas for cleaning up our planet. Books like this make you want to look around you and see how you can make a difference!
Happy reading! ~ F

*Some people have wanted to see the bags and learn more about the story. Here is the website that goes with the book. You can see the pretty bags and meet Isatou. I originally didn't post a picture of the bags because I wasn't sure if it was okay with copyright laws. :)

What to Consider When Hiring a House Cleaning Service
Let's face it, these days, most people are too busy either working too hard or playing hard to be able to want to take the time to do something as simple and as mundane as cleaning their own home. The attractions that a modern life has to offer means that most households are busy throughout the week therefore leaving very little time to do simple chores around the home. There should be no wonder why several cleaning service businesses have cropped up in most major cities and towns all over the world, to try and cater to this very important need. If you find that you are in need of such services, you need to know how to sift through the many cleaning services that are available and find one that particularly serves your needs. Below are some of the considerations that you should have in mind when making your choice.
First of all, the cleaning service that you choose should be a local service. If you live in Chichester for example, and you specifically need a window cleaning service for your home, simply go to your favouriteinternet browser and search for window cleaning Chichester. The advantage of getting a local service as close to your home as possible is that the service will most likely be more personal and getting the service to suit your needs may be easier. You may also be able to individually know the owners of the service which can help build trust much easier.As you engage a cleaning service, it is also important to know very specifically what you need help with in your home. If you don't have any boundary issues, (meaning privacy concerns) and you just need your home spic and span from top to bottom, you will obviously have an easier decision to make because you can ask the cleaning service to take care of everything, including your laundry and your floors. If you just need help with dusting and cleaning floors once in a while,knowing your specific needs will help you know which service will better suit you as well.
On the other hand,if you are vacating your home or you are moving to a new residence, making a more specific internet search like end of tenancy cleaning Chichester will bemore useful to you because a more customised service to your needs will yield better results for you.You could alsoask for referrals from family and friends to help you make a good choice based on their experiences. As you make your choice you should also consider the following; only choose services that are bonded and insured so that if an accident or theft happens during cleaning, you are covered. Also, depending on your needs you will have to choose between a services that charges a flat rate and one that charges on an hourly basis. Services that charge a flat fee are often a better choice.
