Mental Mondays #7
Here's a little gem that turns those very versatile empty number lines on their heads - figuratively speaking!
The main virtue of an empty number line is that 'emptyness' - they can be adapted to any purpose. Here, we keep them empty and challenge children to use their 'problem solving skills' and to use and apply their knowledge of number calculations to determine which numbers are missing.
A picture would save 1,000 words, so here we go:
Draw a (or better yet, display a pre-drawn) number line like the following:
This example shows two equal jumps arriving at the number 6. The question is, what number does the '?' represent?
The children clearly have to use their knowledge of even jumps, 'doubles' and multiplication facts to help them discern the solution. We found it helpful to encourage the children to work in pairs - copying the number line onto a mini-whiteboard and discussing with each other potential solutions.
Happy with that, now lets add a small level of complexity:
Two equal jumps and one small hop leads to 13 - what could the missing numbers be? Since empty number lines do not show scale there is more than one solution here... If appropriate, challenge the children to find more than one possible answer.
A further adaptation
Two equal jumps and one small hop back takes us to 12 - as before, this combination offers more than one acceptable answer.
Another alternative:
Three equal jumps leads to 21... challenge the children to identify each of the missing numbers?
A further level of complexity:
Two equal jumps and one small hop leads to 60 - challenge the children to identify each of the unknown numbers, again there is more than one possible answer.
Finally (for now):
Three jumps forward and one small hop back leads to 29 - what could the missing numbers be?
All of the above are offered simply as examples - the age and ability of your children will clearly determine your choices... However, any of the six ideas can be made easier or more tricky, as the situation demands.
Once the children are comfortable with any particular number line design encourage them to set a similar challenge for their partner - and then to explain to each other their thinking.
We hope you (and your children) have fun with this one. As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts, please post a comment below.
If you find this mental and oral starter useful please take a moment to let Google know by using our +1 button at the top of this posting. You are also very welcome to use any of the social network buttons below. Thank you.

Terry D. Peterson
Job Title:
Multi-Media Producer (NASA Explorer Schools)
What that means:
Responsible for the creation and production of all digital media assets for Education Professional Development.
What I do:
I work with Education Specialists, Subject Matter Experts to develop digital teaching resources to assist teachers in conveying STEM concepts and applications in the classroom.
The most interesting part of my job is:
What I enjoy most is talking with a wide variety of experts ranging from Astrophysicists to Astronauts. The topics are current and very dynamic. My biggest challenge is taking extremely high level subjects and distilling it down to information that is engaging and at a level at which students can relate.
My favorite project that I have worked, or that I am working on, is:
My favorite project continues to be "NASA Now". This 5 – 7 minute program gives students insight in the fascinating world of NASA and allows them an opportunity to hear firsthand from the people who are doing the science. "NASA Now" is an excellent education resource for teachers to peek their student's interest about STEM related stories. The challenge of keeping the program interesting, fast moving and visually appealing makes "NASA Now" a real fun project to produce.
The accomplishment that I am most proud of is:
NASA Now received an Emmy Award in 2012, and has also received three Telly Awards, and two Houston Worldfest Awards since its inception.
A Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education helped me by:
You would wonder how someone in TV could benefit from STEM but in producing digital education assets for NASA you have to understand STEM. Otherwise if I am interviewing a subject matter expert and I have no clue what they are talking about it is going to be difficult to convey information to teachers and students. My STEM background gives me enough of a foundation that I can engage in conversation with the different scientists, engineers and researchers to gain greater insight into subjects that will be presented in classrooms and online.
Good advice for students, including STEM students, is:
Never settle for just getting by. Set your goals and aim to realize your full potential. School is the place to learn, to explore and benefit from the knowledge of your teachers and peers. Make the most of the time you are in school and most importantly find what you love and excel.
How do you "dream big" ?:
I "dream big" by always wondering what's over the next horizon. How will technology that I use today be different next year and what kind of opportunities will emerge.
Who inspires you to "dream big"?:
I am inspired by my peers, colleague and those that went before me. There is a standard of excellence to which I subscribe that has been created by the work of those I most admire.
What do you do to inspire others to "dream big"?:
I bring to life stories from real people who dream big every day. By sharing our dreams with each other we broaden our horizons and create a world full of possibilities.

|Readers Workshop Mini Lessons: Mysteries
Above and below are Readers Workshop mini-lessons for our mystery genre study.
The expectations for reading partnerships and the vocabulary listed below that supported their learning.
Secondary Characters -- Multiple Posibilites --Alternatives
when reading a MysteryStudents filled in the information during a mini-lesson that demonstrated their knowledge of reading a mystery.
Accountable Talk
An Anchor chart that needs revising for Common Core:
NON-Fiction is now Informational Text.
A temporary Anchor Chart that is created on the white board for Science lessons and remains in Visual Contact for the entire unit.
For this unit I wanted to engage the students so each day as
we sketched out and bulleted the charts,
I would embellish them for the next day.
The students really get so excited when
they come in and see what the color version
looks like. I would love to use these next year,
but am thinking the lessons would not be as exciting
as they watch their work come to life.
Fairy Tales
Mind you I am no artist. This took hard work
and some tracing to be able to create these
anchor charts. Obviously my frog prince
is a bit lame, but the students didn't notice.
Even the students who are too cool to care,
are excited to see the finished results with their ideas.
This is my favorite chart. I love my 3 little pigs
and how we all decide to have them each
be a different part of the lesson.
We will culminate this lesson with
"The True Story of the Three Little Pigs..."
by Jon Scieszka.
I love all the pictorial hints throughout this
picture book and the kids get such a kick out
of the seeing them as well!
The Foldable here was created by Teacher's Treasure. Foldable Fun ideas were presented for the Everything Primary expo. Click on the Narrative link to see many ideas to utilize in the classroom throughout the curriculum.
|Fictional Narrative -- Foldables
|Fictional Narrative:
I can envision using this lesson after lesson!
Developing Empathy:
We love our Characters Shoes!
Using this giant sneaker provides the students a visual opportunity to figure out what empathy means and how to use character traits to make the connections to feelings. We studied Kenny Watson from The Watson's Go to Birmingham - 1963 for this particular walking in our Characters shoes anchor chart. It still hangs proudly in our classroom!
Tension Between Characters:
While studying "The Watson's" and discussing tension between character, my students took over the anchor chart and created a thunder and lightening storm. I did not change or add to it! It was perfect as it stood. Byron is the brewing storm and his lightening bolts of destruction are going in all directions affecting himself, his family and ultimately his way of life. Kenny is the sunshine that peeks out behind his big brother trying to figure out what makes Byron such a "cool" bully and remain innocent in spite of his big brother. And finally 5 year Joetta, the angel in the clouds representing all that is right in the world and eventually all that is so wrong in the USA of 1963. We always are sad to tuck the book away. A plain but powerful Anchor Chart...

It is in the Ancient Near east, that writing first began. With the invention of writing came written records that replaced the reliance upon images and oral traditionsas a means of keeping records.
- Geographically, the Ancient Near East refers to area that includes present day Turkey, Iran and Iraq.
- Populations first settled in the grassy areas surrounding the river valleys.The area was ideal for agriculture, with good soil, adequate rainfall and domesticated animals.
- As the population increased, the people began to move into the river valleys and delta regions.
CHRONOLOGY: divided into four general phases
- # Early Neolithic Communities 8000-5500 BCE
- # Ancient Mesopotamian Cultures 3200-330 BCE
- # Sumerian Period 3200-2225 BCE (includes the Akkadian Period)
- # Assyrian Period 1000-612 BCE
Early Neolithic Communities
Jericho-located on a plateau on the Jordan River.
- represents the world's oldest fortified community
- fortifications make the beginning of monumental architecture
SCULPTURE-examples from Jericho mark the beginning of monumental sculpture and individualized portraiture.
- Human Skull, c7000-6000 BCE
Chatal Huyuk-located in Anatolia, flourished 6500-5500 BCE.This area was the first to experiment in city planning.
SCULPTURE-most examples are small female figures
- Seated Goddess, Catal Huyuk, c5900 BCE
Sumerian Art
Between 3500 and 2800 BCE city-states began to emerge along the rivers of Southern Mesopotamia. The city-states of Sumer are considered to be one of the first great civilizations of man and are credited with inventing the first written language, cuneiform.
ARCHITECTURE-ziggurat-a stepped pyramid structure, with a temple or shrine located on top. Ziggurats were religious shrines, that symbolized a bridge between man on earth, and the gods in heaven.
- Nanna Ziggurat, Ur (modern Iraq) (fig.2-5), c2100-2050 BCE
SCULPTURE-Sumerian sculpture was religious in nature, representing Sumerian dieties.
- Face of Woman,from Urak (fig.2-6), c3500-3000 BCE
- Statuettes, from Temple of Abu, Tell Asmar (fig.2-9), c2900-2600 BCE
- Bull Lyre, from tomb of Queen Puabi of Ur (fig.2-11), c2685
- Standard of Ur, c2700 BCE
Akkadian Art
Approximately 2300 BCE, the city-states of Sumer came under the domination of a powerful ruler, Sargon I of Akkad. The Akkadians adopted Sumerian culture with one exception. It was under the leadership of Sargon, that devotion to the leader rather than the city-state became the political norm. The Akkadians ruled until 2180 BCE, when they were attacked and conquered by the Guti (only Lagash remained independent).
SCULPTURE-first examples of political works of art
- Head of Akkadian Ruler from Nineveh (fig.2-15), c2200 BCE
- Stela of Naramsin (fig. 2-16), c2254-2218 BCE
Babylonian Art
Sumer was once again fully united under the Babylonian ruler, Hammurabi in 1792 BCE. Hammurabi was most famous for his code of laws.
- Stela of Hammurabi, from Susa (fig.2-18), c1792-1750 BCE
Assyrian Art
- Guardian Figure, from throne room of Sargon II (fig.2-23), c720 BCE
- Citadel and Palace Complex of Sargon II (fig2-22), c721-706 BCE
Neo-Babylonian Art
- Ishtar Gate c575 BCE
Persian Art
- Apadana (audience hall) of Darius and Xerxes (fig 2-32) 518-c460 BCE

Posted by Web Staff - email
ELYRIA, OH (WOIO) - After over a decade behind bars, a former Lorain Head Start bus driver is a free woman.
Lorain County Judge James Burge has overturned the conviction of Nancy Smith.
Smith was convicted in 1994 of delivering school children to Joseph Allen for sex and was sentenced to 30-90 years in prison.
With Wednesday's acquittal, new charges cannot be filed.
Judge Burge said he had no confidence in the 1994 verdict and added that much of the evidence used to convict the pair was coached and would not be admissible in a court of law today.
Smith has always maintained her innocence. She spent a total of 15-years in prison.
Allen also had his conviction overturned.

Remember Me
I love this time of year.Indian Summer is in full force and it won't be long before the frost is on the punkins, the air will be crisp and clean and the leaves will be brilliant on the trees and satisfyingly crunchy underfoot.
I put out Halloween/Fall decorations last weekend for the first time in several years.On Saturday, I had scored two pumpkins for $1.98, a fact which made me extremely giddy. I hate to spend more than that on something that is just going to shrivel, ooze gooey stuff and then end up in the trash can. Hopefully, no one will decide to relieve me of my bounty before Halloween.I for one believe that no fall decor is complete without corn shocks. Unfortunately, with the early harvest this year, I had forgotten to put my order in. No corn shocks! Unacceptable.I put in a call to my double-secret connection and alas, they had cleared the last of their fields that week. However, there was a field still standing around the corner and they knew the owner. I was told that as long as I twisted the corn off and gave it the farmer, I could have as many shocks as I wanted. My connection even volunteered to go with me. Sweet!I have never gotten my own corn shocks before. They have always been dropped off and were waiting for me in the yard.Her dad was very helpful and said we could borrow his corn knife — who knew one of those existed? — and even gave us advice: Don't cut your leg off. Good advice.We drove around to the field and made our way in. I chose my corn shocks carefully. I wanted them to be just the right height and have just the right tassels on top. (I know. I'm a pain in the butt even though not many will say it to my face.) So, I twisted and she chopped and there was no blood loss.I carried my treasures to the car through the near hurricane-force winds (maybe a small exaggeration) and carefully placed them in the trunk so as few pieces fell off as possible. I thanked my friends and preceded to do a u-ey to head back home and SMACK! The trunk lid whacked down on my corn shocks. I was not going to make her come back and go through the whole process again so I continued home. Thankfully, they were all in one piece.When I got home, I unloaded the corn shocks and headed to the basement. I drug the spiderweb and its inhabitants, the bright orange pumpkin bags to be filled with balloons, the candle holders I had forgotten about and my other seasonal fare up and got to work.Blowing up the balloons became the most challenging task. I don't remember how long they had been in the basement but some would expand into odd shapes. Perhaps they were fitting for weird balloon animals but definitely not the plump, round orbs I was looking for to stuff in the pumpkin bags. After a little stretching, they began to cooperate. Then I noticed one I had discarded was not on the floor by my feet and Sweet Sadie Eleanor Louise? — nowhere to be found. I located her in the front room with half a bright red balloon hanging out of her mouth. For goodness sake, she's 12 — 84 in dog years — and she has reverted back to her puppyhood pranks. She looked me straight in the eye and gave a couple of chomps to that balloon and it let off a squishy, squeaky sound. She seemed pleased. I took it away and she pouted. Oh well, tough puppy love. (Of course I got her a biscuit. I'm not a monster.)So the decorations are all up and I thoroughly enjoy them as I drive in and just sitting on the porch reading.I know this sounds like it was a lot of work but it really wasn't. Really.

Mens El Rio II Sandal
For wet activites, dry activites, or perhaps something altogether more amphibious, strap on The North Face El Rio II Sandal.
Although they have the look of classic leather sandals, the three velcro adjustable straps forming the upper are actually made in a quick-drying synthetic nubuck, so days spent hopping in and out of boats are no problem for the El Rio II. The HydroTrak sticky rubber outsole is also a boon on wet surfaces, but turns its hand equally well to traction in the dry.
Between the HydroTrak sole and your own sole sits a contoured, multi-density Northotic footbed for cushioning, stability and all-day comfort.

Will These be the Official iOS 7 Icons?
This seems to be perhaps the most authentic way of telling what the iOS 7 default stock app icons will look like before they are unveiled next monday at WWDC.
>> UPDATE: Compare/Contrast to official WWDC banner, transparency is definitively something we'll see as well:
This mock up is based on all the given resources both Apple and respective rumors have provided [such as]...
- Flat Design
- Subtle Grandients
- Color Consistency
- etc
What do you think? Questions and comments are appreciated!
>> UPDATE: I've spent a bit more time and edited the icons due to user feedback. Let me know what you think compared to the previous version:

Mail service will soon be changing all across the country, thanks to Congress.
The new spending bill passed by Congress makes it a requirement for six day mail delivery; however, last month the U.S. Postal Service announced a switch to five day delivery in an effort to save money.
"It's important the Postal Service be allowed flexibility to cut costs and generate revenue," said USPS Regional Spokesman Brian Sperry. "Asking Congress to be able to do that six day package five day delivery is one way we're doing that."
Bills and letters will be delivered like normal Monday through Fridays with only packages delivered on Saturdays.
"I think it's one of those unfunded mandates. I don't know where the money would come from and the post office is losing money, so to require them to spend more money doesn't seem to make sense to me," said Christine Chasek.
"I suppose whatever works out in the post office's benefit, I suppose whatever they need to do to make it so they can keep delivering the mail," said Erik O'Brien.
"I don't want the post office to lose money necessarily, but really believe there's lots and lots of people who get mail on Saturday," said Jamie Alcorn.
Delivery service would include Priority mail for five days and packages on Saturdays and post offices would continue to be open on Saturdays for those with P.O. boxes.
This will become official once President Barack Obama signs it into law.

Also, I don't understand how or when referees decide to look at players' footwork. The Heat were getting away with travels all night.
Seriously, there were plays where he would foul, obviously, multiple times and there were no whistles. Very frustrating seeing as how any and all contact from a Celtic is practically called as a flagrant (if you count all the silly technicals in these games.)
Actually, I guess I do understand it: they watch for contact from the Cs on defense, but watch the Cs footwork on offense. When you think about it, within the context of how these games have (mostly) been called, that makes sense. The refs are hyper-aware of defensive contact from Cs, not so much from the Heat.
The refs weren't the reason we lost last night, but they sure did destroy our momentum and limit our opportunities at times.

America's Classic Update: Charlie's Sandwich Shoppe
For more than 15 years, the James Beard Foundation has honored some of the country's most beloved regional restaurants with its America's Classic Award. These establishments, often family-owned, are treasured for their quality food, local character, and lasting appeal.
To coincide with our announcement of the 2013 inductees, we're unlocking the America's Classics vault and checking in on some past winners. Today's update: Boston's Charlie's Sandwich Shoppe, which received the award in 2005.
Since Charlie's Sandwich Shoppe opened more than 80 years ago, a member (or four) of the Manjourides family has manned its counter. The restaurant still proudly owns a secondhand icebox from 1927, and the same historical memorabilia lingers on its walls. As co-owner Arthur... Read more >

Mitch Unrein Signs Exclusive Rights Tender
DT @MitchellJUnrein has signed his exclusive-rights tender: http://t.co/E9Cux0acas— Denver Broncos (@DenverBroncos) April 11, 2013
Welcome back Mitch! This leaves Ryan Clady, Tony Carter and Britton Colquitt as the only remaining Broncos who have received tenders, but have yet to sign. Carter's an exclusive rights tender, like Mitch Unrein and will have to re-sign with Denver or not be able to play for any other team until the Broncos cut him. Colquitt is a restricted free agent and could be signed to an offer sheet by another team, which Denver could then match or be compensated a draft pick by the offering team. Clady, of course received the franchise tender and could sit throughout training camp before deciding to sign the tender. He would still be guaranteed the full amount of his contract ($9.828 million).

When you want way to lower your car that is not only easy and fast, but leaves you with a completely safe ride, you need to take a look at our lowering spring kit. Our kits offer you the ability to drop your car as much as three inches closer to the ground. Installing lowering spring kits are one of the most common methods of reducing your car's suspension height safely.
The lowering spring kit such as the one we carry at SlickCar have been designed to be extremely easy to install. The only thing you have to do is jack your vehicle up and remove the old springs. Then using the new hardware supplied, all you have to do is bolt in your new springs and lower your car back on the ground at its new road hugging height. One thing that our customers really love about this type of suspension modification is that it is relatively inexpensive and easy to reverse.
See our list of lowering springs by make or model and the manufactures websites.

Especially Among Blacks
McClatchy Newspapers
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel faces growing voter disenchantment, particularly among blacks, even as the overall number approving of his job performance holds steady at the halfway point of his first term, a new Chicago Tribune/WGN-TV poll shows.
The survey showed 50 percent approve of the job Emanuel is doing, roughly the same as a year ago. But those disapproving of his job performance stand at 40 percent - up from 29 percent a year before.
Compared with last year, Emanuel's negatives are up significantly among blacks. Now, more black voters disapprove than approve of his handling of the mayor's office. That's turned around from a year ago. Although Emanuel's approval rating among white voters is similar to last May, the number of those who disapprove also is growing.
And although Emanuel billed himself as an agent for change in taking over City Hall after 22 years of Richard M. Daley, the poll found more than half of voters say they think Chicago is the same as it was under his predecessor...
Those are the midterm ratings of Emanuel in a poll of 800 Chicago voters that has an error margin of 3.5 percentage points. Interviewers conducted the phone survey from April 30 to Monday.
A politician seeking to keep his office, as Emanuel has vowed to do, wants a job approval rating above 50 percent. Emanuel is approaching that benchmark with less than two years to go before he stands for re-election.
Although no challenger has emerged yet, the poll points to serious political concerns for the mayor.
More black voters disapprove of Emanuel's job performance than approve, 48 percent to 40 percent. That's a sharp turnaround from a year ago, when 44 percent of black voters approved of Emanuel's job as mayor while only one-third disapproved.
Emanuel convincingly won election without a runoff in 2011 on the strength of carrying every majority-black ward in Chicago. He earned credibility as President Barack Obama's first White House chief of staff.

Leaders in Marshall, Fulton, and Starke Counties have joined forces to fight the local meth problem. Sunday night, they kicked off their latest effort to put an end to it.
A former meth addict is now in the area and he'll spend the next 10 days visiting over seven thousand students at 14 schools. He'll be explaining to them and showing them the dangers of the drug. Sunday night he gave his presentation to the general public.
David Parnell was addicted to drugs for 23 years. In 2003 he shot himself because he thought his family would be better off without him. The incident left his face permanently disfigured. He said when he woke up in the hospital three days later he realized he wanted to tell people the truth about drugs. He said educating kids about meth is the best form of prevention because if we don't someone else will lie to get the kids to buy and use drugs. Parnell knows this from experience. "I used to sell high school students drugs and I remember telling them before 'oh that stuff won't hurt you it'll just make you feel good' and the truth is it's poison," said Parnell.
Parnell's presentation is very graphic. He shows pictures of what meth does to a person's body and pictures of kids who have been abused because their parents are meth addicts.
The organizer of this event and the organizers from each county for this anti meth effort told me having a graphic message is the best way to get it across. "Because it's real. He's not making it up...this is reality. So many people want to bury their heads in the sand or say that it's not that big of an issue, however, it is such a huge issue," said Event Organizer Teri White.
White said one in four people is affected by meth. She said it affects the entire community and anyone who says it doesn't is just kidding themselves.
Marshall County will have a public meth awareness presentation Wednesday October 23rd at Christos Banquet Hall at 6:30 p.m. And Starke County will have one Tuesday October 29th at the Nancy Dembowski Community Center at 6 p.m.

Durham Gate
6:20pm Thursday 22nd March 2012 in Hear All Sides
IN response to Peter Molloy's letter (Echo, Mar 10) I can inform him that I replied to all those who signed the petition about jobs in the Spennymoor area.
I wrote to advise that the claim made on the petition that the Durham Gate project didn't benefit people from the local area is inaccurate.
Figures clearly demonstrate that the project has been beneficial to the area in a number of ways. For instance 76 per cent of the workers involved in the construction of the building are from the North- East. In addition, some 98 per cent of people involved in the highway upgrade aspect of the project are from the region.
What's more, 60 per cent of the suppliers and contractors supporting the project are based in the North-East – boosting the regional economy.
In short, Durham Gate is both good for jobs and good for the local economy.
However, high unemployment is still a serious problem despite the benefits brought to the area by the Durham Gate project.
I also reject entirely Mr Molloy's accusation that I don't care about the people of Spennymoor.
I care profoundly about the people of Spennymoor and that's why I'm working hard in parliament to secure jobs and investment for the local area.
The Tory-led Coalition's regressive cuts are inflicting immense damage on the area and I'm doing all I can to oppose them.
Helen Goodman, Labour MP for Bishop Auckland.

Now alternative car parking has been leased for 120 staff cars with a private bus company shuttling staff to and from the car park & its new offices.
This is Spennymoors very first 'Park n ride' & must account for why rents at Livin have risen by upto 10% for 2012 / 2013, this is another item that the M.P should be investigating for the resident's effected but that won't be!
Hardly a single new job has been created at Durham Gate, construction jobs are temporary the residents of Spennymoor want the 8000 plus jobs lost under New Labour from Spennymoor but that is very unlikely.?
The irony is that when collieries closed in County Durham the Tories blamed market forces cheap coal from Poland, China, Australia etc. New Labour used the same excuse plus globalisation for the exodus of manufacturing from Spennymoor, no one believed the Tories then & no one believes Labour now.
Blair & Mandelson fell in love with globalisation and building empty stagnent homes on former manufacturing sites was the way ahead, now Lord Mandelson regrets the globalisation policy followed by New Labour and he understands that more should have been done to protect manufacturing in the region.
Spennymoor in Tony Blairs back yard seems to have been an experimental zone for this policy, and the results of it going wrong are there for us all to see in clear detail, stagnent new build housing estates and derelict manufacturing sites, this is Tony Blairs Legacy for the peopl of Spennymoor.
The town now has very little to offer younger generations whom have switched to voting for the BNP in droves, and once the redundancy payments have dried up Labour stalwarts will no doubt be following them on the BNP band wagon.
Unemployed people maybe interested to know that well paid part-time work is available in the town from May 2013/
Town Councillors claim between £2000 to £5000 per annum & County Councillors £10,000 to £30,000 per annum, for the more ambitious independently minded an M.P can earns £65,000 plus expenses..

News: Young Jeezy Finally Unfreezes "TM103" Release Date
Wednesday, Jul 27, 2011 8:00AM
Def Jam artist Young Jeezy's long-awaited Thug Motivation 103 album will finally hit stores as the Atlanta rapper has officially penciled in an official release date.
During a special New York City performance this week, Jizzle said the project would drop in late September.
Taking the stage at Highline Ballroom, Jeezy revealed that his oft-delayed fourth LP will drop this fall. "My ni**a Kinky B. just told me that TM103 will be in stores September 20. Goodnight, I love ya'll!" he told the crowd at the end of his 75-minute set, which featured appearances from Jay-Z, Kanye West, Fabolous, The Lox, and Bun B. (Rap-Up)
TM103 producer Drumma Boy recently talked to SOHH about Jeezy's delayed album.
"I'm extremely therapeutic to everybody I work with," Drumma Boy told SOHH. "So it's not like I"m just selling beats or passing off beats for 'this' person to rap on and 'this' person to rap on. I might just have a conversation with you that changes your life or I might tell Jeezy one or two things that he could do to flip around. It's things like that, that can really help the moves that he makes. We look out for each other like that. It's more of a therapeutic situation, making sure he gets what he needs. I did a record with him and Travis Barker. We got a special guest on the features, so stay tuned to that. I mean, Jeezy is a, when I speak on consistent grind, he has to be probably the leader in that category as far as consistency and how many records he's doing and how much he's doing with the clothing line and how much he's doing on tour, overseas, with the kids and charity events." (SOHH)
Drumma also vouched for Jeezy, saying his numerous outside commitments have forced TM103's delays.
"You gotta understand, when you're dealing with all of these different businesses and companies, it's hard to just work on music," Drumma Boy added. "It's hard to work on just only music. So with that being said, TM103 on the way. It's finally gonna drop. The 'Lose My Mind' record is Grammy-nominated and we didn't even put out the project yet. It's a single-driven game and dude just wants to make sure he gives his fans 100 percent and the best that he can give them. I mean, you can only respect that. Yeahhhhhh boyyyy." (SOHH)
Last week, Jeezy explained his difficulty trying to remain focused on the LP.
"It took a long time to get the direction I was going, but when I got in the zone everything locked up," Jeezy explained. "I had to go back and recollect because it got to a point where I was so far away from what I know and what was helping me articulate my music. I'm on tour with [Lil] Wayne, so that's that rapstar superstar life--and I love it by the way--but then I had to go back home just to see what was really real, so I could take that from the streets and spread the word." (Hot 97)
Thug Motivation 103 is scheduled to hit stores Tuesday, September 20th.

Starting Thursday, if you're subscribed to the Dish Network, your options are now expanded. Lubbock and surrounding 18 counties can have access to local programming.
Satellite television has never looked so good. "If you want to watch NewsChannel 11 you'll simply go to our program guide, click on NewsChannel 11 and there it is," explains Robert Franklin of 21st Century Satellite.
Franklin says until now, one thing was missing as a subscriber to the Dish Network: local channels. It's new to Lubbock and the surrounding counties, but how does it work? "Up until now we've had to use an exterior antenna to pull in the local channels in conjunction with satellite programing," he says. Now local channels like NewsChannel 11 will be broadcast from a satellite, on the Dish Network. "At that point it comes straight into your house in digital quality to your receivers and it's broadcast on the television," demonstrates Franklin.
But before you decide to change the channel on your current cable provider Vickie Bennett from Cox Communications says there are other factors you should consider. "When consumers are choosing a cable provider you they need to look at more than just cost of the product," she advises.
Bennett says Cox has offered local channels for more than 30 years and the company's services continue to expand. "We're more than cable, we're your high-speed internet provider and soon we're going to offer telephone service in the market," she explains.
The addition of local channels to Dish Network means subscribers in small, rural communities that do not have access to cable can now get a clear picture of local channels.

Every year around this time, when scary things start lurking on people's front porches, I think of the time my younger sister scared me half to death with a practical joke.
Alice was 10, and I was 12 and we shared a bedroom.
One evening while the rest of us were watching TV, she came into the family room with a concerned look on her face and said, "I don't want to upset you or anything, but I was looking for something under my bed and I think I saw a spider."
Now, we lived out in the woods, and it was nothing to find woodpeckers eating our siding, or tree frogs laying eggs in the swimming pool, or tent caterpillars riding in on the dogs, so a spider under a bed was no cause for alarm.
As further proof of the general Dolinar family nonchalance about critters, my dad didn't jump up to go kill the spider. We all listened to what Alice said, and then went back to watching "Happy Days."
Alice came and sat next to me on the sofa, and without taking her eyes off the TV, made a wide gesture with her thumb and forefinger and mumbled, "It was this big." I probably told her she was sitting too close, and to move over.
You know where this
is headed.
When it was time for bed, I pulled back the covers and lifted the pillow, and there it was. Big, black, hairy spider on the bright white sheet.
The way my sister tells it now, I jumped back and made a noise something like "MWAAAAAA!" and ran from the room.
It was an excellent scare. It would have been startling enough to climb into bed to find a spider under my pillow. That's what you might expect from a little brother: a frog tossed down one's shirt or a plastic snake put in one's shoe.
But this was more conniving, with a perfect set-up, reinforcement and follow-through. The payoff was loud and spectacular. She'd planted the worry in my head, and that rubber spider was just lurking there, waiting to make my worst fear come true.
I don't like that feeling. Had I been in those first audiences for "The Exorcist," I'd have been one of those carried out on stretchers.
I spent the entire second half of "The Silence of the Lambs" bent over with my face on my knees. I have yet to see my first "Halloween" movie. Anything with "Paranomal" in the title is out of the question.
But my daughter? She loves to be scared. She likes roller coasters and upside-down rides, too, and I think this is all connected. The brain needs a rush of excitement. I remind myself this is the same girl who jumped off a high dive when she was 3.
She's into zombies now, and will play the part of one at a haunted trail this weekend. She found an old prom dress and ripped it and splattered it with red paint.
Creeped me out, to tell you the truth.
Last night, she asked if we could get out the Halloween decorations for the front porch. She remembers the things stored there from last year, the ghosts and the cobwebs and the giant black spider.
I told her to go down to the crawl space to get them herself.
I am not going in there.

Kitchen Sink Cookiesby Miss Sweet on Oct 23, 2013 • 3:00 pm 4 Comments
The best kind of cookies are the kind that don't require too much fussin'. Just simple cookies that hit all the right spots and make your heart happy.
The creator of these cookies called them 'I want to Marry You Cookies' – the reason being that just one bit will make proposals come flying your way! Don't worry, Mr Sticky. I renamed these 'Kitchen Sink Cookies' as I think you could add everything in your pantry up to and including the kitchen sink and make these your way.
Mr Sticky described by combination as a cross between a classic choc chip cookie and an ANZAC biscuit. They are chewy, crispy, sweet and I DEVOURED them. You can pretty much add whatever you like to the base cookie. I chose to use dark chocolate and macadamia nuts.
Other great combinations would be white chocolate, pistachio and cranberry or milk chocolate, coconut and peanuts. Chocolate + nuts + a dried fruit or chopped chocolate bar = magical.
The original recipe that I tweaked is by The Café Sucré Farine: I Want to Marry You Cookies. I changed some measurements but mostly converted from a US to Australian recipe.
- 225g unsalted butter
- 1 and ¼ cups brown sugar
- ½ cup caster sugar
- 1 egg and 1 yollk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 2 cups plain flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- Up to 3 cups of assorted chocolate chips, nuts, shredded coconut, dried fruit, etc.
- Preheat oven to 160 degrees fan forced oven. Prepare 2 baking trays with baking paper and set aside.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the stovetop and add brown sugar and caster sugar and stir until incorporated. Put in the fridge to cool for 10 minutes.
- Remove butter mixture from the fridge and stir in eggs and vanilla bean.
- Add flour, oats, baking soda, salt and cinnamon and mix with a spoon until combined.
- Stir in up to 2 and half cups of mix ins, leaving half a cup to the side for later.
- Roll the mixture in to 1 heaped tablespoon balls. Place on to prepared baking trays. Press extra mix ins on to the top of the cookie dough balls.
- Refrigerate trays for 30 mins to set dough.
- Remove trays from the fridge and bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
Refrigerating the cookie for 30 mins means the dough will not spread as much, but make sure you keep enough space around the cookie dough balls – at least 3-4cms between cookies.

lets get em
the dude is a great player to have on any team. He plays D, and he can hit the trey and he is athletic. I dont know what his salary is, but i would love to have rudy for him. Wouldnt Orlando do this trade so they can have another shooter around Dwight? Anyway "the flying frenchman" has playoff experience, we saw that when we was a key backup for the Warriors team and the Magic in the playoffs. But I really can't remember if he is a CLUTCH shot maker.

WordPress uses a database to store, retrieve and display data. This database is the most crucial part of the CMS, and I believe that WordPress is so successful because of how it structures the database. Since its earliest days WordPress adapted a very simplistic approach which is convenient, easy to understand and easy to manage.
WordPress provides developers and users several ways to access data stored in database right from their website. Most users will probably never need to access their database directly. However, In order to get a better grip on WordPress, it is important that WordPress users make themselves familiar with WordPress Database.
By understanding the database structure you can also easily fix some problems. For example, you can change passwords, disable plugins, select themes and do other things, directly from the database without having access to your admin panel.
Important: Always backup your database before making any changes to it.
The Database Part of wp-config.php
When you are setting up a fresh install of WordPress, you are asked to provide database information by either manually editing the wp-config.php or by providing that information during the installation. Here is the database part of wp-config.php
// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** // /** The name of the database for WordPress */ define('DB_NAME', ''); /** MySQL database username */ define('DB_USER', ''); /** MySQL database password */ define('DB_PASSWORD', ''); /** MySQL hostname */ define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */ define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); /** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */ define('DB_COLLATE', ''); /** * WordPress Database Table prefix. * * You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique * prefix. Only numbers, letters, and underscores please! */ $table_prefix = 'wp_';
The database name, database username, and database password parts of the file are self-explanatory. Database Charset is the character set to be used for creating tables. In most cases you don't need to change it from utf8 to anything else, but if your website will be in some other language and/or you want to use other character set you can do so here.
The table prefix as explained can help you set up multiple installations in one database. For example you can setup the prefix for one installation blog1_ and use blog2_ as prefix for some other WordPress installation.
Security Tip: Changing the table prefix is recommended by WordPress security experts, who suggest that by changing the default table prefix to random combination of letters and numbers one can make it difficult for hackers to crack into database by guessing the table names.
WordPress Database Structure
Once you have setup your database information in wp-config and run installation, WordPress will create tables in your database and populate them with some default data. Your database structure would now look something like this:
Note: We are using phpMyAdmin to manage database. phpMyAdmin provides a web based interface to manage your databases. Most modern web hosts have phpMyAdmin installed in their control panels. Some web hosts particularly dedicated server providers and self-managed hosting service providers may not have any control panel or phpmyadmin. In that case you can still manage your database from mysql console.
Back to database structure… Notice that WordPress has created 11 tables for us. The table names are easy and self-explanatory. But we will talk about them anyway.
The Posts Table: wp_posts
When you write an entry into your WordPres powered website, it is stored in this table. This table has several fields and here is a snapshot showing some of those fields:
I will skip the self explanatory fields, directly to post_type. The pre-defined WordPress post types are post, page, revision, attachment, and nav_menu_item. If you have defined a custom post type then it will appear here as well. Like this:
Another field that might confuse some users is post_mime_type. You will notice that usually it is empty but when there is a post_type attachment then you will notice that it will show the file type like image/jpeg or application/pdf.
The Options Table: wp_options
It is perhaps the most interesting table in a WordPress installation. As it is apparent from the name that wp_options table is where WordPress stores configuration settings for your website. This table has the following fields:
- option_ID
- blog_ID
- option_name
- option_value
- auto_load
This table contains crucial information such as your site name and URL, site's admin email, active plugins and themes, etc. These options are very useful in cases when you lose the access to your website's admin section. Learning more about these options can also allow you to solve some tricky problems in a quicker and more efficient way.
Taxonomies and Terms in Database
WordPress uses three tables to handle taxonomies and custom taxonomies. These are:
- wp_terms
- wp_term_taxonomy
- wp_term_relationship
This looks quite complicated to many people who are new to databases, but actually it is quite simple and elegant. The first table wp_terms contains all the terms. For example, Blogroll is a term and so is Uncategorized. In a default installation Blogroll is a link-category and Uncategorized is the default category. All your tags, categories, link categories, navigation menus, and custom taxonomies are terms and they are all stored in this table.
Next is wp_term_taxonomy table which is used to describe which taxonomy a term belongs to. For example term id 1 (Uncategorized) belongs to taxonomy category, and term id 2 (Blogroll) is a link category.
In wp_term_relationship a post, links or page is related to a term from term_taxonomy table. This way a post can have multiple terms in different taxonomies.
What is Database Optimization
After setting up a database and using it for a while your database starts creating overheads which are nothing but overhead memory occupied by mysql in different databases. Too much of this overhead can affect the performance of your database. Fixing this is extremely easy as MySQL itself has provided an optimize query that you can run on your tables to optimize them:
OPTIMIZE TABLE 'wp_posts'
If you do not want to run this query manually you can optimize your tables from within phpmyadmin like this:
Or use a WordPress plugin like WP Optimize or WP DBManager. While using these plugins, you will notice that they also offer to remove your post revisions and spam comments. The reason is that many WordPress experts believe that the number of rows affected in a query seriously affect the performance of database.
So if you have like 1000 blog posts and each post has 5 revisions, then your database is dealing with 5000 blog posts, which means your queries will run a bit slower.
Another problematic thing is the data left over by the plugins you don't use anymore. Some of these plugins may have created their own tables, you can safely delete those tables. Some plugins may have stored information in your wp_options table if you can find those then remove them as well.
WordPress Database is simpler and easier to understand and work with. Keeping it nice clean and secure is an important way to increase the performance of your website, so don't neglect to optimize, clean up and backup your database on a regular basis.

WHEN TOSHIBA WAS PLANNING ITS corporate meeting to take place in Miami last May, the directive the company sent down to the event design pros was simply a "sensory overload." It's not surprising that the electronics giant wanted an atmosphere that would set attendees' tongues wagging since the members in this industry are used to having their senses teased. Add to the mix the Beach Boys and Terry Bradshaw and you needed a very flexible lighting design to cover all the bases.
"Our design objective was to create an immersive environment resulting in a sensory overload that would work in tandem with automated lighting," says veteran LD Bill Strother who was called in to set the scene. To carry out his design, Strother selected six High End Systems DL.1 digital light fixtures and a Catalyst Pro Media Server, supplied by Zenith Lighting of Orlando.
"The set — provided by the client — was a vast array of different Spandex shapes," Strother explains. "With that many differing surfaces for projection, we had to be able to hit as many as we could with only six projectors — knowing that it would be very difficult to gauge the throws, mask the shapes, position the images, dial in the contrasts and address the interactive needs of the presenters. Catalyst allowed us the most freedom and on-the-fly flexibility to overcome these challenges. I also created my media using a living litho look — all animation was moving in a field of black to blend with lighting on these surfaces — so we could build looks the same way an LD would use a moving hard-edge lighting fixture. The DL.1s exceeded my expectations, and that is saying a lot."
Strother believes Catalyst and DL.1 are the wave of the future. "This is like an AV system that works in a lighting designer's world," Strother says. "That is one of the great things about it. You aren't encumbered anymore by a certain number of gobos on a wheel. But you're still projecting images and patterns. You're still 'moving light.' This is really what moving light is all about."

In this interview, an industrial relations practitioner, former President of Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN, and former Deputy President-General of Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, Dr. Brown Ogbeifun, spoke to Sweet crude on the alarming rate of crude oil theft, pipeline vandalism, planned privatization of the four public refineries, and the protracted Petroleum Industry Bill, PIB.
What is your impression on the state of oil industry in Nigeria as at today?
The state of the industry as today, specifically in 2013, is a mixed grill of gains and losses. The refineries' capacity utilization was enhanced though still not where they should be and this meant that Nigerians were able to fuel their cars without tears for another whole year. On the other side of the coin are the sad issues of massive vandalism of petroleum products pipelines, crude oil theft and further divestments by some of the Oil Majors. Overall, as a nation, we should have done better in the repositioning of Nigeria's Oil and Gas sector that would have enabled it take the central role of being the central focus in global oil and gas affairs.
What is your take on the unabated theft of the nation's crude and pipeline vandalism that you spoke about?
Vandalism and crude oil theft are whirlwinds that shall do no good to the nation. I do not know of any other nation, where vandalism of petroleum products' pipelines in order to steal crude is as rampant as we have in Nigeria. Figures ranging from 200,000 to 350,000 have been touted as daily crude oil stolen from the lines between 2010 and 2013. Apart from other leakages, this is a very serious economic hemorrhaging condition that should be stopped by all means.
What analysts usually focus on in calculating the losses is the amount of crude stolen without putting into consideration the cost of cleaning the spills and fixing the pipelines by the companies. What of the damage to our national image and the untoward effect of discouraging foreign investments? This is an incalculable damage that cannot be accounted for in naira and kobo. But it seems security agencies are finding it tough to deal with because of the enlarged circle of the powerful cabals and conspirators.
The international community, financial institutions within and outside Nigeria, possible connivance of some security operatives and Nigerians are also culpable because we seem to be looking the other way while these nefarious activities take place. The vandals operate in communities inhabited by Nigerians and the barges used are not submarines that cannot be detected or match boxes that can be stuffed in the pocket.
The illegal refineries use crude as its feedstock and such refineries are within communities in the Niger Delta. The products are sold in towns and villages in this country. The unused crude finds its way to the international market and paid for in dollars. The cabals do not have underwater banking institutions where these proceeds are kept. They use conventional banks within and outside Nigeria.
The negative impacts of vandalism and crude oil theft include the destruction of aquatic and farmlands, economic sabotage which explains the shortfall of Nigeria's 2014 budget from $29.3 billion in 2013 to $23.3 billion in 2014 and divestments by some International Oil Companies, IOCs, with attendant job losses thereby compounding the unemployment situation in Nigeria. Compounding the situation is the security challenges facing us as a people. Under these circumstances, apart from corrupt investors, no transparent investor will be ready to make any meaningful investments in this critical sector.
The effects of vandalism and crude theft are so colossal that no nation can progress with such a negative societal value. It is for this reasons that the United States of America (USA) called on the Federal Government of Nigeria to do everything possible to address the issue of large-scale oil theft in the Niger Delta, and the House of representatives has also set up a 17 man committee to look into the same issue. So, what is the way forward?
The international community should stop playing the ostrich by blaming us for corruption and at the other end accepting to keep proceeds of corruption in their vaults. They should adopt a don't see and don't touch stolen crude oil from Nigeria approach and seriously sanction or blacklist any marketer found guilty of trading in stolen crude oil. Once there are no buyers, illegal bunkering shall become less attractive and at the end gradually fizzle out.
As citizens, the communities where these illicit activities take place should report all clandestine and illegal bunkering activities to security agencies because they suffer or shall suffer the negative impacts of the nefarious activities of these vandals. Their environments are being destroyed with reckless abandon while the illegal bunkers smile to the banks with their loots in foreign currencies.
The community farmlands and water are destroyed and some of the crude ways of managing the stolen crude by the vandals have severe health consequences for this and the next generation. So, it is in the interest of the communities to assist government in eradicating the menace of vandalism and crude theft.
Our security agencies must up their strides against these criminals and consistently work to identify and flush out the enemies within that may be sabotaging their efforts. They seem to be the last hope of this rescue mission because we as helpless civilians cannot confront these menacing vandals with our bare hands. Failure to do this may lead to a collapse of the entire oil and Gas Sector with not enough money to service salaries and other critical sectors.
Tackling them with kids' gloves may lead to a more fairy and deadlier wars as drug war rages in some parts of Latin America. We may think it is impossible. But when one looks at the body languages of the Governors who come to Abuja for monthly FAAC rituals, one can say that continued puncturing of our economic jugular by vandals and stealing the crude meant for the development of the country portends serious danger for Nigeria.

Like most middle age men from the land of Brussel Sprouts (Lincolnshire) I'm not a fan of clothes shopping in general. Fashion? Whats fashion? I think I had it some time during my early twenties but I lost it.
When I moved to Leeds the clothes shopping scene was a tad overwhelming.
"Some guy in a hat just opened the door for me! What do I do? What do I do?"
But I got by although I get upsold a lot by women. Anyhow, I recent went outside of my comfort zone (ASDA George) and paid a visit to the shop of one of my clients, Accent Clothing in Leeds and enjoyed clothes shopping for probably the first time.
The first thing you notice when near Accent is the location.
The Queens Arcade is nice and Accent have their store split into 2 with ladies' on one side and men's on the other. Both stores have great shop fronts and a very welcoming exterior. When you enter the store (men's obviously) it is really well presented but for me (wearing mainly ASDA George), a little intimidating.
The first thing I noticed when entering the store, was that
"Everyone is really good looking in here."
I'm more than comfortable in my sexuality so I'm fine with saying that I would not hang out with the guys from Accent if I was single. I would be the 5 (a modest 5) amoungst the 9′s and that never ends well for the 5
Once you get over the reality shock that you are in fact not the most beautiful person in the world, you soon realise that "the beautiful people" are in fact really friendly. They will happily let you browse but if you need some advice, they are more than accommodating.
I knew roughly that I wanted a smart casual jumper or top and had a few ideas. I asked for some help from one of the Accent staff who introduced himself as Ryan.
Ryan was amazingly helpful, letting me try on several items in various sizes and pretty much acting as my personal shopper. The guy was an absolute legend and knew everything about the Accent stock, sizing and fashion. At no time did I feel like I was being rushed or that I was testing Ryan's patience and trust me, I am not the easiest shopper to appease.
I ended up with a pretty nifty hoodie from Penguin called a Scapeman. It is a great fit and the material is kind of grided. I also really like the Penguin logo and detailing. I wear it all the time as it looks great and covers all weather types.
You can buy it from Accent via clicking here.
Here is a photo of me wearing it at Think Visibility.
Accent Clothing did a great job of sorting me out and making me feel welcome. I really can't fault the whole experience and can highly recommend visiting.
For me it's the full 5 stars :
[Not A Disclaimer] I have a working relationship with Accent Clothing and yes this does mean that I wouldn't write anything bad about them. But if I didn't like Accent, I simply would write nothing rather than being swayed by my relationship. I'm an honest guy and I hope this comes across in my writing and life in general.

But do they have any designer gear that has been fashioned from Brussel Sprouts????

Hi Folks,
a friend of mine showed me something strange in Ovi today: the installation of an app failed, but he still could write a review.
The strange thing: Ovi showed "installation failed", and offered "write review" instead of contact support.
Even though I am no UI guru, I think that offering the user to contact support would be the more appropriate next step...

As I write this, it is November 30. The last Sunday of the church year, Christ the King Sunday, was last Sunday. Sunday, December 2, is the First Sunday in Advent. The word "Advent" is an anglicized version of the Latin word adventus, meaning "coming."
There are six seasons in the church year. They are the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost.
The first season is Advent, which begins four Sundays before Christmas and ends on the day before Christmas Eve. Advent has been observed since 490 A.D. when it was decreed by Bishop Perpetuus of Tours. During Advent, we prepare for the birth of the Baby Jesus.
During Advent, we focus on hope, darkness and light, repentance, watchfulness, preparation, expectation of the birth of Christ on Christmas, and anticipation of the fullness of time at Christ's second coming.
The colors of the paraments for Advent are blue, suggesting hope, or from an earlier tradition, purple, the color traditionally reserved for kings or emperors.

According to ELCA's web site, "The wreath, a circle, came to represent the eternal victory over death through Jesus Christ. The evergreens were a sign of the faithfulness of God to God's people, even in death, and the lighted candles were a reminder of the light of Christ brought into the world."
The color of the candles on the Advent wreath may be natural, symbolizing the Light for which we wait; deep purple, symbolizing penitence; or blue symbolizing hope. At Elim, we have chosen to match the blue paraments with blue candles. One candle is lit the first Sunday in Advent, two the second, and so on.
Many families have their own Advent wreathes at home, and have daily or weekly devotionals during Advent, where the candles are lit, scriptures for the day or week or read, and Advent hymns are sung.
Christmas songs, hymns, and carols should be reserved until the season of Christmas, which begins, not ends, on December 25.
During Christmas, we focus on God's presence in human life, God's love for all creation, and the Paschal mystery of Christ's passion, death, and resurrection.
On Christmas Eve, the colors of the paraments on the altar and pulpit are changed to white, and the candles on the Advent wreath are changed to white candles as it becomes the Christmas wreath. All five candles are lit on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and each Sunday in Christmas.
Yes, Virginia, Christmas is a season and not a single day. While the radio stations start playing Christmas music now as early as Labor Day, not a single Christmas song can be heard after Christmas Day. Even "The Twelve Days of Christmas" is never heard during the twelve days of Christmas, which is how long the Christmas season lasts.
Of course, we can always leave the tree up, the lights on, and play Christmas music on the stereo. We do at our house.
So, Happy New Year! The new church year has begun!
* The Paschal candle, also known as the Christ candle, is a tall white candle lit on festival Sundays and on special occasions such as baptisms and funerals. Its light symbolizes Christ as light of the world and his presence in the midst of his people.
