Do you know who you are? I can tell you . . . you are [fill in your name].
Your job is to be the best [fill in your name] you can be. Don't try to be like [your best friend] or [your neighbor] or [your hero]. You may be able to emulate their traits, but it's not your job to BE them -- that's their job. If you try to be them, you will fail.
Just be you!! That is who you were created to be. While you're being you, be the best you that you can be.
Blessings to you!!
Blessings to you!!
One of my biggest challenges is staying motivated, so I try to help motivate others in order to motivate myself. I was never a cheerleader in school, but if you needed a life cheerleader, I'm your person.
The best thing that we can to do help each other is through encouragement. This is a long journey for most of us & it's so nice to have people cheering you on along the way.
So, if you are tired of standing still, get moving!!
Blessings to you!!
Haha!! This was soooooooo my workout last night after work. I had been sick for several days & was just working out lightly, but last night, I felt STRONG, so I decided to pour it on!!! Plus, some people I haven't seen in YEARS were visiting my gym on visitor's passes & sometimes, when that happens, you just have to work out super hard to strut your stuff, you know? Hehe!! Anyway, I was whipped when I got home last night.
I hope you "kill" your workout today.
Blessings to you!!!
I'm sooooooo ready for this change . . . are you?
Blessings to you!!

FETC 2012 kicked off Tuesday, Jan. 24, the day after most people receive this newsletter. I hope that I will be seeing many of you there but, if not, the January issue of T.H.E. Journal has a number of articles associated with the conference held every year in Orlando.
A special FETC section of the magazine this month includes interviews with keynote speakers, stories about some of the other speakers, and even a couple of articles written by presenters. While it might not be quite as good as being there yourself, you do have an opportunity to get a taste of what is going on.
But this month's conference and this month's issue of T.H.E. Journal are not the only chances you've got to experience the event before next January either.
On Jan. 24, the first day of FETC 2012, we launched a new monthly e-newsletter called FETC Learning Network as a way to keep that sense of community that has grown up around FETC and the FETC Virtual Conference going all year long. This way, T.H.E. Journal can continue the learning that participants have experienced at FETC with critical insights and advice from K-12 technology experts, as well as the latest on mobile and cloud development projects, security solutions and strategies, collaborative technologies, and updates on FETC 2013.

She had the child doing a seemingly peaceful nighttime routine of him taking a shower followed by a calming story while rubbing his back in his bed. The child would fall asleep but then wake up with upsetting fears. They had also used a night-light to help this child feel more secure. This, unfortunately, did not really help a lot.
I further suggested leaving this boy's bedroom door ajar, laying with a special blanket, having him sleep with his favorite stuffed animal and then even the actual family pet, their beloved cat. These strategies all helped for a while but again the fears returned with a vengance.
With his fears having returned even more intensely than ever, I made a unique suggestion that seemed to work: I had the mother and son go to the hardware store and purchase a rope. The boy helped his mom tie the rope on his bed post and they ran the rope down the hall to the mother's bed. It is noted that the mother was married to the boy's father but he traveled out of town during most weeks. I encouraged the boy in our sessions to reach for the rope while in bed at night and give it a gentle tug to feel connected to his mother. This finally helped him get beyond his nighttime fears.

Men's Tennis Makes History in Season OpenerSubmitted by: jwyatt - February 2nd, 2014
Fresno Pacific has been participating in men's tennis since their program's inaugural year in 2006. From that point in time, to the 2013 season, they have defeated Westmont Men's Tennis 15 times in 15 matches.
In six of FPU's first seven years (2007-12) as a program, they were members of the Golden State Athletic Conference alongside Westmont. The Sunbirds appeared in the NAIA National Tournament all seven years that they were members of the NAIA, were crowned GSAC champions five consecutive years from 2008-12, and finished as National Runner-Ups (2008, 10, 12) or National Champions (2009, 11) of the NAIA in each of those five years.
The 13th ranked Sunbirds are now members of the NCAA Division II, and just as powerful as ever. However, the Warriors (1-0) pulled off a major coup Saturday afternoon as they defeated the Sunbirds (0-1) in dramatic fashion by a score of 5-4.
"It was a really exciting come from behind win for us," voiced a jovial Mark Basham – Westmont's head men's tennis coach. "Doubles tend to be a strength of ours, but our team really got it done in singles. We were up 2-1 after doubles, so we were certainly encouraged by our early success. It really motivated our team on into the individual matchups."
After five singles matches, the two squads were all knotted up at four points apiece. Westmont's Tim Goranson, at number two singles, was now the team's hero in waiting.
"Tim won the first set 6-2, and then was cramping deep into the second set," described Basham. "Sergio Ibarra (one of Westmont's athletic trainers) came out and really helped him. Even so, Tim was down 3-5 in the third game as it was getting dark, but rallied back. He really broke down his opponent, and ended up taking four straight games to win 7-5.
"It's obviously really exciting for us to start the season this way. To get this result against a very good team that we have never beaten is a fantastic feeling," continued Basham. "Today was a very exciting sign for the state of the program. Hopefully it provides some momentum for the season to come. I know it surely boosts team morale."
This upcoming Saturday, the Warriors travel to La Mirada for a 10 a.m. showdown with the the Eagles of Biola (1-0) to kick off GSAC play. If they secure a victory, Westmont will start the season off 2-0 for the first time in over ten years.

Long term effects of treatment
We have a large section about the treatments used for retinoblastoma, this includes many of the treatments which have been used in years gone by. Most treatments change slightly as the use of them becomes more common however the main principles remain the same. To look up the treatment you had as a child click on the treatment link at the bottom of the page, this will take you into the section written specifically for parents of children with Rb.
Most treatments have side effects. When a prescribing doctor makes a decision on which treatment to use they weigh up the expected results of the treatment with the risks of possible side effects. They expect that a treatment will be successful however they know that the side effects of a particular treatment may be life long. Detailed below is information about some of the long term side effects of treatment. This information is intended to be informative and useful. If you would like some support in relation to this subject contact our support workers to be directed to the most appropriate professional.
Anyone affected by retinoblastoma as a child should attend a follow-up clinic with an oncologist to discuss the treatment they had as a child and any consequences of this and the retinoblastoma.
Late effects of chemotherapy for retinoblastoma
The chemotherapy drugs used to treat retinoblastoma (carboplatin, etoposide and vincristine) are very well tolerated and most patients will not experience any significant long term effects . However, a small number may develop complications. These are specific to the drug and tend to occur with greater frequency the higher the dose received. The specific complications that may occur after retinoblastoma treatment are:
Hearing problems
Hearing problems after cancer treatment are uncommon but they may occur with certain drugs and after radiotherapy to the head, in the region of the ear. Carboplatin is a drug which very infrequently may cause hearing impairment (i.e. partial deafness). This causes particular difficulty in hearing high pitched noises, and can be detected by sensitive hearing tests. It is seldom severe enough to be noticeable by either the parents, their family or friends, since the lower pitched noises used for speech are not usually affected. Hearing problems due to carboplatin do not get worse after treatment has finished but once hearing problems are present, they usually remain.
Kidney problems
Kidney problems can occur after carboplatin, but fortunately they are rare and not usually severe. The main job of the kidney is to get rid of waste products from the blood stream into the urine. It is also involved in controlling blood pressure. Carboplatin can reduce the efficiency with which the kidneys 'clean' the blood, and may make the kidneys 'leaky'. This means that the body loses too much of certain substances, e.g. some salts such as phosphate. These substances may need to be replaced by medicines or tablets taken regularly to 'supplement' the losses from the kidneys. Kidney damage is always evident at or within a few months of finishing. Patients whose kidneys are working satisfactorily at the end of their treatment should not develop problems in the future although the doctor will organise checks from time to time to be sure.
Second malignancies
Acute myeloid leukaemia is a rare second malignancy amongst retinoblastoma patients. This may be linked to the use of chemotherapy, particularly etoposide, but the underlying risk factors are unclear.
If you want to know more about any of the side effects mentioned here then make an appointment to speak to one of the oncologists at the retinoblastoma centres. Contact details below.
Overall, side effects from chemotherapy are reassuringly low and most patients can expect very few late effects. Occasionally, if first line drugs have not been successful or if treatment was given many years ago, additional or alternative chemotherapy drugs will be used to treat retinoblastoma. The side effects of these will be discussed with the patient on an individual basis, as they will vary with the drug and dose received.
The Retinoblastoma Service, The Royal London Hospital, 020 3594 1419
The Retinoblastoma Service, Birmingham Children's Hospital, 0121 333 9475
Intra-arterial chemotherapy for retinoblastoma
Intra-arterial chemotherapy is a new method of giving chemotherapy directly into the ophthalmic artery and is being used in the treatment of retinoblastoma when other treatments have not been successful. Intra-arterial chemotherapy enables a higher dose of chemotherapy to be given to the eye and results in fewer general side effects associated with conventional chemotherapy e.g lowering of blood count, hair loss, nausea and vomiting. During the procedure, which is performed under general anaesthetic, a small tube is inserted into an artery in the groin and then threaded all the way up to the ophthalmic artery which supplies blood to the eye. Once in the correct position, the chemotherapy is given.
Following administration of intra-arterial chemotherapy children may experience swelling around the eye, flushing of the skin around the eye and forehead and droopiness of the eyelid. Children may also experience a minor drop in their blood count. A number of children experience a drop in the vision in the treated eye which may be temporary or, in a proportion of cases, permanent.
If you want to know more about any of the side effects mentioned here then make an appointment to speak to one of the oncologists at the retinoblastoma centres.

The Retinoblastoma Service, Birmingham Children's Hospital, 0121 333 9475
Late effects of radiotherapy
After whole eye radiotherapy, most children will develop a cataract. A method of radiotherapy called lens sparing radiotherapy has been devised, which is suitable for many children requiring external beam radiotherapy, and cataracts do not occur with this technique. If a cataract does develop after whole eye radiotherapy, it can be removed by a simple operation, and the child will then be given special glasses to correct their vision. Unfortunately, following removal of the cataract, the eye is likely to be rather sensitive to bright light.
Dry eye
Whole eye radiotherapy also results in a rather dry eye, caused by to damage of the lachrymal glands, which produce tears. A dry eye is more susceptible to infection, to damage from dust and air pollution, and to extremes of temperature. Therefore, children treated by whole eye radiotherapy will need to use artificial tears or eye drops to lubricate and keep the eye moist on a long-term basis. This problem is much less evident after "lens-sparing" radiotherapy.
Facial asymmetry
Another late effect of radiotherapy is a reduction in the growth of the bones around the eye socket. If the radiotherapy beam has exited through the jaw, dental problems may also occur, and for this reason, children should be monitored regularly by an orthodontist.
Retinal detachment
Very rarely, the retina may become detached some months or possibly years after successful treatment for retinoblastoma. This tends to occur in eyes that were treated for large tumours and in certain eyes that received cryotherapy. People of all ages, who had retinoblastoma as a child have been advised by the professionals to refrain from diving until this issue has been discussed with their ophthalmologist. Any sudden deterioration in vision should be taken seriously, and people are advised to make an urgent appointment to see the ophthalmologist.
If you want to know more about any of the side effects mentioned here then make an appointment to speak to one of the oncologists at the retinoblastoma centres as part of a follow up appointment.
The Retinoblastoma Service, The Royal London Hospital, 020 3594 1419
The Retinoblastoma Service, Birmingham Children's Hospital, 0121 333 9475
Artificial eyes and possible concerns
If you have an artificial eye it is good practice to have this checked regularly, perhaps yearly unless you have decided with your prosthetist that less often appointments are fine. People in the UK can visit the NHS National Artificial Eye Service (NAES) or a private ocularist about their artificial eye. There are also a small number of NHS ocularist services in the UK which are not part of the NAES. Your GP can make referrals to any of the NHS services. When you visit an artificial eye service you must make sure you are completely happy with the eye that has been made for you. If you are not happy then you are entitled to tell them why. They want to make the best possible match for you so will be happy to deal with your concerns.
If you are unhappy with the cosmetic appearance of your implant or the shape of your socket or eye lid, you should first see a prosthetist. Care of the artificial eye by a prosthetist is associated with less socket problems. If the prosthetist is unable to improve the appearance, then a referral to a local oculoplastic/orbital surgeon via the GP is important as reconstruction of the socket may be possible or necessary.
If any of the issues mentioned above affect you then you can make an appointment to discuss them with a member of the retinoblastoma teams.

My oh-so-talented and beautiful friend, Maren, is working on her first web-series.This girl is an amazing actor, cuts a rug on the dance floor and now she's writing, directing and starring in her very own series- oh and did I mention she's ridiculously beautiful?!?
About Forty Weight:
Forty Weight was born out of necessity. Anyone who has ever had a day job in the food service industry knows what we mean. Much like having to get a job to pay the bills, Forty Weight was created because we had to tell a story. Actually, many stories in this case. Our stories are based on real experiences- we have recorded them and are reenacting them, with a little Forty Weight flair. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.
Just in case you're wondering where Forty Weight comes from: truck drivers might say "Forty Weight" on the CB radio. It's just another way to say "coffee". May also refer to beer.

- Designer: Hermann Zapf
- Design foundry: Linotype
- Source: Linotype
The Zapfino® font family is an elegantly flowing, sumptuously designed humanist calligraphic font based on a WWII era notebook containing a character set penned by the celebrated German typographer, Hermann Zapf. The font contains a variety of glyphs and ligatures, making its resemblance to custom calligraphy very striking.
Hermann Zapf was born in Germany in November 1918, just as World War I was ending. Consequently his early life was very turbulent as the German citizens - many of whom had been anti-war - were forced to live through famine and extreme economic oppression before being flung into the Third Reich and the ensuing WWII mayhem in the nineteen-thirties. Tragically, a Spanish Flu pandemic took the lives of two of his siblings very early in Zapf's toddlerhood.
Thus, his parents were very glad to send him to school in 1925 (since food would be provided), where he excelled in technical subjects. However, due to his father's involvement with trade unions and the subsequent political atmosphere, Zapf found himself unable to attend college. Instead, he eventually took up a position with a company as an apprentice retoucher in 1934.
An exhibition in Nuremberg in 1935 piqued Zapf's interest in typography and the rest, as they say, is history.
Zapf created the Zapfino font after a young Stamford University graduate, David Siegel, approached him with the notion of making a typeface with multiple glyph variations. Though initially cautious, Zapf provided Siegel with a 1944 notebook containing a calligraphic alphabet he had penned. Though the project came to a standstill after Siegel decided upon a career change, Zapfino was later picked up by Linotype and the finished face was published in 1998, prompting a burst of critical acclaim.
Identifont: Zapfino
Reference.com: David Siegel
Zapfino Usage
Zapfino is a fantastic font for many different types of creative undertaking from advertising to wedding invitations. It is a popular choice because of its beauty – but that does not have to mean the results of its use have to look the same as other projects. The large number of glyphs and ligatures included with the font mean that Zapfino handles like a cipher, with an almost limitless number of combinations in any given sentence structure.
Utilizing Zapfino in a design does take some ingenuity. For example, unless Zapfino is the only type you will be using, combining such an exuberant face with another font can be a challenge. Examples of suitable typefaces to pair with Zapfino include the Futura® and Calibri™ families.

Governor Patrick Launches Innovative Program to Retrofit Diesel School Buses with Equipment to Reduce Air Pollution
Governor also calls for comprehensive strategy to fight diesel pollution from all sources
"The buses that take our children to school should not foul the air breathed by those same children, and this program will help put that situation to an end," said Governor Deval Patrick, at an event held at the Julia F. Callahan School in Lynn. "I applaud the City of Lynn and its school-bus operator, North Reading Transportation Co., for stepping forward as the first to volunteer for this new program, and I call on all school districts in the Commonwealth and their bus companies to take part."
Administered by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), the new program will equip up to 5,500 school buses that are able to be retrofitted - virtually all the large diesel-powered school buses serving public schools that weigh more than 10,000 pounds, and carry more than 10 students at a time. The retrofitted buses will release less air pollution, resulting in healthier air for everyone, but especially students and drivers. Approximately 750,000 schoolchildren ride school buses each day.
Pollution controls will be installed using $16.5 million in state and federal funding provided by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Transportation and Public Works (EOT) under an agreement associated with the Central Artery/Tunnel Project.
Governor Patrick today also directed Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs Ian Bowles and MassDEP Commissioner Laurie Burt to report back to him by Labor Day with a comprehensive program for reducing diesel pollution from other sources, with priority given to protecting vulnerable populations and reducing heavy concentrations of pollution.
School buses are a safe and energy-efficient way for children to get to school. But school buses, like all diesel-powered vehicles, pollute the air with harmful gases and particles. Diesel pollution contributes to asthma attacks, respiratory problems, and other diseases. A 2006 Department of Public Health survey of 662,994 students in 1,780 Massachusetts schools found that 1 in 10 schoolchildren in kindergarten through eighth grade have asthma.
"The launch of MassCleanDiesel affirms the Commonwealth's commitment to providing clean air to all residents in the state, and especially our children, whose developing lungs are particularly susceptible to the harmful effects of diesel exhaust," said Secretary Bowles. "It is also the first step toward a comprehensive approach to combating diesel pollution."
The MassCleanDiesel initiative is the result of a 2006 agreement between EOT and MassDEP where $22.5 million in state and federal funds was made available to retrofit thousands of school and regional transit buses across the state.
"The transportation sector is a major contributor to greenhouse gases and particulate matter," said Transportation Secretary Bernard Cohen. "This landmark program removes some of the dirtiest diesel exhaust and improves our environment while continuing to provide safe transportation for our children to and from school."
"MassCleanDiesel will help make the ride healthier for the three-quarters-of-a-million students who take the bus to school," said Commissioner Burt, whose agency is coordinating the program. "These retrofits will remove up to 90 percent of the bus pollutants - and at no cost to the bus companies or the local communities."
"We welcome the opportunity to implement this unique program here in Lynn for the positive effects it will have on the environment, our children's health, and also as an education tool teaching students about the ill effects of air pollution," said Lynn Mayor Edward "Chip" Clancy.
"I would like to commend the Governor and Secretary Bowles for leading this excellent initiative," said Senator Thomas M. McGee. "Air quality is very important to the well-being of our city's children, and this program will have a real impact on the air they breathe every day. This is a creative and cost-effective way to address a serious environmental concern, and the benefits will be realized in Lynn and throughout the Commonwealth."
"Our environment is one of our most precious resources and it is more important now than ever that we take steps to protect it," said Representative Steven M. Walsh. "A reduction in these harmful diesel emissions will have a tremendous impact on the public health of all our students and will better the air quality for all the citizens of Lynn."
"This is a great idea and a great opportunity for us, for the kids and for improving the air we all breathe," said John McCarthy, a representative of North Reading Transportation Co. "We're grateful that the state is stepping up to assist a company like ours and in turn we can help others as a result."
The North Reading Transportation Co. serves school systems in Chelmsford, Dracut, Lawrence, Lowell, Lynn, North Andover, Wakefield and Wilmington, carrying 22,000 students to school each day. Also expressing interest in joining the MassCleanDiesel program are the school systems in Andover, Beverly, Cohasset, Egremont, Gill, Greenfield, Lincoln and Monson, as well as the Manchester-Essex Regional School District and the Southeastern Regional School District.
Diesel retrofits will decrease the levels of exterior and in-cabin particulate matter, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions, and produce less tailpipe exhaust and pollutants that form smog, without compromising vehicle performance. To receive free retrofits, school bus owners must enroll in the program, obtain estimates from retrofit vendors, and work with the vendors to coordinate equipment installations. MassDEP will reimburse the retrofit vendor directly, provided that installations meet all terms of the program.
"The Patrick Administration is to be commended for taking a huge step forward for public health," said Sam Krasnow, policy advocate for Environment Northeast and member of the steering committee of the Diesel Pollution Solution Coalition, a statewide consortium of public health and environmental advocates. "By addressing school buses, the Commonwealth is on its way toward cleaner air for kids and their communities."
For more information on MassCleanDiesel, visit http://www.mass.gov/dep/air/diesel/masscleandiesel.htm or call the MassCleanDiesel Help Line at (617) 292-5809.
MassDEP is responsible for ensuring clean air and water, safe management and recycling of solid and hazardous wastes, timely cleanup of hazardous waste sites and spills, and the preservation of wetlands and coastal resources.

Kraus GV-150 Aquamarine Glass Sink Collection
Many homeowners take extra caution when using their glass sinks in fear that their vessel will crack or fall. This stressful fear can easily be eliminated by investing in the Kraus GV-150 Aquamarine bathroom sink. Expertly engineered to boast a 34 mm edge, the Kraus GV-150 Aquamarine is made is to withstand high impact and repeated use, making it a perfect choice for large households and bathrooms that experience a lot of traffic.
Boasting a 19 mm thickness and 17 inch diameter, the Kraus GV-150 Aquamarine glass sink is masterfully made to offer a thicker interior and exterior build than most glass vessels. This ocean-inspired bathroom sink is an ideal choice for homeowners who desire the delicate look of glass without having to enforce limited usability and high maintenance care. Kraus bathroom sinks are manufactured using tempered glass, a toughened version of regular glass that has proven to be 3 to 6 times sturdier. Now users can easily and comfortably go about their daily grooming routines without having to worry about damaging or leaning against the sink.
Furthermore, the Kraus GV-150 Aquamarine shows a sea-foam green hue that invokes the peacefulness of paradise beaches. This aqua green tint works nicely with metallic finishes including chrome, satin nickel, antique brass, oil rubbed bronze, and gold. Kraus bathroom combo deals offer single-lever bathroom faucets with matching pop-up drains in these specific finishes to adorn your GV-150 Aquamarine sink with. The contrast between the transparent green glass and shimmery rich metal makes for a beautiful and bold decorative statement.

Summer is my favorite season because it makes throwing dinner parties so easy. Step into a garden or farmer's market, and you have all the inspiration (and ingredients) you'll need to entertain guests outdoors in wine country style. One of my newest table decor ideas is the edible centerpiece–a simple, elegant design that doubles as a healthy, colorful first course. Our friends at Taste of Home magazine recommend it for Labor Day weekend parties.
Combining Chef Todd Knoll's roots in Asian cooking and garden-fresh vegetables, the edible centerpiece incorporates Japanese bento boxes as a display feature. (Our favorite bento boxes, made by Kiwami, can be purchased for about $40 at Korin.com.) Communal bentos also make dining more interactive and conversational.
Because you won't be laboring over the stove when guests arrive, you'll have plenty of time to chat with your friends and family at the table. Fresh veggies, such as red peppers, endive, cauliflower, zucchini and baby carrots, can be served with extra virgin olive oil and zesty, simple dips, such as my own Greek Goddess Dip (recipe below).
Watch this video to learn how to create your own edible centerpiece. Tips for advance preparation and keeping vegetables fresh overnight are also included.
Greek Goddess Dip
- 3/4 c. Plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 c. sour cream
- 1/4 c. chopped parsley leaves
- 1 tbsp. shredded (chiffonade) mint
- 1 tbsp. chopped dill
- 1/2 tsp. crumbled dried leaf oregano
- 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp. drained chopped capers
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Drizzle of olive oil (as a garnish, just before serving)
- Whisk together yogurt, sour cream, all herbs, lemon juice and capers in a bowl.
- Season, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

We reopen on Monday 2nd February 2015.
Office hours will be posted shortly for January 2015.
Nau Mai, Haere Mai - Afio Mai, Maliu Mai - Bienvenue and
Richmond Road School - Te Kura o Ritimana, Ponsonby, Tamaki - Auckland, Aotearoa - New Zealand.
Aim High – Whaia Te Iti Kahurangi – Tauivi Malosi – Visez Haut
A new page called "Future Plans for Richmond Road School" has been added and will be available here https://sites.google.com/a/richmondroad.school.nz/richmond-road-school/Welcome/future-plans-for-richmond-road-school from Friday 29th August 2014
Feedback required by Thursday 11th September 3pm on the first Draft of the Masterplan.
Richmond Road School is a unique primary school that celebrates diversity. We work in partnership with families/whānau to ensure that children:
love coming to school, challenge themselves in their learning, make and sustain positive relationships with others and are confident in who they are
Nau Mai Haere Mai, Welcome!
Kia ora, talofa lava, bonjour, hello I am the principal at Richmond Road School - Te Kura o Ritimana I am thrilled to be leading a school with such a long history and reputation for being a community focused school that focuses on providing tamariki with opportunities to discover the joy of learning through their/a heritage language. My 14 years of teaching experience was preceded with a number of years working at local authorities and a private consultancy as a Town Planner in Tamaki Makaurau Auckland. My time as a kaiako has all been in Central Auckland primary schools. My time prior to arriving at Richmond Road School was spent working with the learning community of Oranga Primary School as Associate Principal.
As a school leader I am mindful that our approach to learning needs to be future focused, but also it must recognize where we have come from. We now know so much more in terms of how students' best learn and what comprises effective teaching. Learning needs to be motivating, engaging and provide sufficient challenge for all of our learners. It is also important to me that our students feel happy and safe at school and we provide a nurturing environment.
Te Kura o Ritimana has a lively and active wider school community, focused on making our great school greater.
Our school vision to be a community that creates a life-long love of learning and language, and leads the way in bilingual education is an integral part of every aspect of the learning day at Richmond Road School. Our 'values' encourage children to engage with learning, to be actively involved in community, to be leaders, to have an understanding of their identity and that of others and to creative in their response to problem solving.
I encourage you to read the parent links on this website, read the newsletter and to follow us on Facebook and Twitter in order to become more involved in the wider life of our school.If you would like to know more about us, please call in for a visit, and we'd be happy to show you around. If you have any additional questions please contact us directly at the school on 376-1091 or email email@example.com
Naku noa,
Jonathan Ramsay
Please contact the school in advance to let us know the days that your child is going to be away. Where you cannot let us know in advance, or you don't know when your child will return, please contact us every day that your child is away, and on the day if your child is going to be late.
If your child is not at school, and we are not sure why, someone from the office will give you a call.

Our unique feature is the focus on teaching and learning through children's heritage languages. Alongside an English unit (rōpū), we have Māori, Samoan and French immersion and bilingual classes.
"The best setting for educating linguistic minority pupils - and one of the best for educating any pupils - is a school in which two languages are used without apology and where becoming proficient in both is considered a significant intellectual and cultural achievement".
(Glen & LaLyre, 1991, p. 43, cited in van Hees, Expanding Oral Language in the Classroom, 2007, p.61, NZCER Press)
Bilingual education underpins the philosophy, strategic direction, policies and practices of Richmond Road School. The school enjoys international and national recognition for its provision of bilingual education. There are about 350 students attending the school. The following classes (or ruma) cover all the age groups across each ropu:
Te Whānau Whāriki, the Māori bilingual unit, has four ruma
Mua i Malae, the Samoan bilingual unit, has three;
L'Archipel, the French bilingual unit, has three; and
Kiwi Connection, the English unit, has seven,
The majority of children in Te Whānau Whāriki and Mua i Malae come from English-speaking backgrounds and focus on acquiring an additional language, te reo Māori or Samoan. Most of L'Archipel children are already fluent speakers of French and focus on maintaining their French language with English as an additional language.
We offer a well-balanced programme based on the New Zealand curriculum framework and in Te Whānau Whāriki, Te Marautanga o Aotearoa.
In addition, we aim to help children develop as individuals and as members of their community and society in general by fostering the growth of concern for others and respect for differences as well as self respect and self esteem

A trip into the subzero freezer of the Capital Area Food Bank this week may look a little different than usual.
Monday, the Circuit of The Americas donated all the catering leftovers from Formula One weekend to the Capital Area Food Bank.
The donation included food the charity doesn't see every day, like veal, lamb, pita bread and creme fraicheto.
"They gave us three pallets of dairy stuff, milk, cottage cheese, half-and-half, creamery, stuff like that which we already sent out this morning," David Dangerfield with the food bank said.
To put it into perspective, the 8,300 pounds of food donated by the racetrack weighs about the same as six Formula One cars.
The donation came as a surprise to food bank CEO Hank Perret.
"Hopefully this is the beginning of a relationship that, in the future, when there are events, regardless of what they are, out at the track, that they'll call us and have us come pick up what they got left," he said.
Sodexo, the company that supplied the food to the track's concession stands, also offered their leftovers. The food bank sent a truck to pick it up Tuesday.

Sample eGroup Discussion Threads
Retirement Counseling Section Sample Discussion Thread
I am wondering if anyone is familiar with the rules around single premium immediate annuities and Medicaid. I have a couple, one of which has Parkinson's disease and no long term care insurance. They have a modest investment account of around $250,000. So they are not in a position to either qualify for Medicaid or pay for long term care out of pocket. The amount they need each year out of this account is quite modest, so that a conservative investment strategy is appropriate. It occurred to me that by purchasing a SPIA for this income stream, they may be closer to qualifying for Medicaid for the ltc he will need.
My recollection is that if the annuity has a survivorship feature, that needs to be taken into account as an available asset when applying for Medicaid, but that this is not the case with a life only SPIA. In the back of my mind I know the rules are quite a bit more specific than that and am hoping someone has a good handle on this information.
Paul Wolf, MS, CFP®, CLU, ChFC
The rules regarding annuities and Medicaid differ HUGELY from state to state. In some states, an immediate annuity can be a useful "Medicaid spend-down" instrument; in others, less so. I'm told that, in some states, there ARE no "Medicaid annuities".
The duration of the annuity CANNOT exceed the SOCIAL SECURITY life expectancy of the annuitant, which is generally LESS than the life expectancy of an annuity employing current a current annuity table. It must be IRREVOCABLE and NON-ASSIGNABLE. It may be only on ONE life (the institutionalized spouse or, for couples, the "community spouse").
You GOTTA check the rules for the state of residence of your client.
A good source for into is http://www.medicaid-annuity.com/.
Speaking strictly for mysef, I KNOW that I don't know enough about these rules, which is why I will call in a specialist who does.
John L. Olsen, CLU, ChFC
Thanks, John. I will check out that link.
And yeah, that is pretty much the same way I feel about the rules (and hence my inquiry). I do not do this stuff enough to be an expert in it. I will probably have an attorney direct this one.
Well John, for someone who doesn't know enough about Medicaid rules - you sure covered the highlights very well! I work with this all the time - but I won't comment on cases outside Massachusetts. You can get state-specifc information on my favorite Medicaid site: http://www.elderlawanswers.com/AskHarry/Forum.asp Just Select your state in the "View State Specific Content" field on the lower left column.
Ronald D. Birnbaum,CLU,ChFC,CSA
Paul - what kind of long term care does the ill spouse need? A SPIA will do nothing for your client if the long term care is done at home. It's only for people who are in a nursing home (at least in Massachusetts - other states vary!). Many people with Parkinson's only have home care, so the annuity won't work. If the spouse is ill enough to need to enter the nursing home, in my state the couple could keep $94,760 in liquid assets and put the rest in a Medicaid Qualified Annuity - then annuitize so the check goes to the at-home spouse. The at-home spouse can thus keep their entire $250,000 while Medicaid pays for the nursing home. Medicaid annuities are allowed in Maine - so this strategy should work for you as well. But check with a Elder Law Attorney in your area. Elder Law Attorneys across the country can be found at this website:
Ronald D. Birnbaum,CLU,ChFC,CSA
Thanks, Ron. I expect at some point he is going to need nursing home care. I will check out that site.
Well, Ron, turns out one of the attorneys on the list for Maine is a long time client/friend of mine. So there you go! Thanks for your help.

a DNA swab, a scan of your paper receipt — to
It looks like this:
Of course, there are some rules.
- This offer is only good for APRIL 28, 2011. That starts at 12:00 AM on Thursday and ends at midnight (UPDATE: That's Pacific Daylight Time). Get me your pic or email within that time frame, or you don't get a T-shirt.
- I will pay standard U.S. Postal Service shipping to deliver the shirts. If you are out of clean clothes and need a good shirt for your cousin's wedding, let me know and we'll discuss getting it to you sooner.
- This offer is not good for my first book, BLOOD OATH, even if you purchase it within the time period. Sorry.
- If you're ordering on Amazon or BN.com or any of the online stores, email me a copy of your receipt. That will count.
- Anyone who pre-ordered the book — don't worry, you're not left out. Send me a copy of your receipt on April 28 within the 24-hour period.
- Anyone who's buying the book for your Kindle, Nook or other mobile device, you're eligible as well. Send me a copy of your receipt on April 28 within the 24-hour period.
- Supplies are limited; first come, first served, as decided by the time the email hits my inbox. (Don't worry. I've got a lot of them. If I run out, I'll happily dance over to the T-shirt shop and make more. But don't dawdle. Twenty-four hours is the limit.)
- One T-shirt per book.
- Attempts to game the system or cheat mean no T-shirt for you. I also reserve the right to revise the rules to keep things fair and honest, or to include anything obvious I might have forgotten.
There will be a Twitter-based contest on Thursday with even more fabulous prizes, so keep an eye on @chrisfarnsworth. And, as always, stay bloodthirsty.
Today, the paperback edition of BLOOD OATH will hit stands everywhere.
This is kind of a big deal for me because in the dark ages before Borders, Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com, my main bookstore was the paperback rack at the local M&W. For years, that and the public library would sustain me between the all-too-rare trips to the bookstore downtown. (My hometown, due to a mix of poor urban planning and geography, didn't even get a mall until I was a
sophomore senior in high school.) I was introduced to many of my favorite authors because they were slotted into spaces on the wire racks by the comic books and magazines. There was something so great about discovering a new book in the Fletch series or getting scared just by reading the back of a Stephen King novel.
I really hope someone else has that same feeling when they see this at the local grocery store:
In other news, I can see that I've been neglectful in my relentless ego-surfing and self-promotion. Here are a few spots around the Internet where my name has popped up lately.
- Robin Bradford has a great, insightful post about BLOOD OATH and the inherent problem of bloodsuckers falling in love with their food source. It also has a brilliant title: EAT PREY LOVE. If that had been the name of the Julia Roberts flick, I might have even gone to see it with my wife. Thanks for all the kind words, Robin.
- The Terrebonne Parish Library system is going to have a discussion of BLOOD OATH on March 2. The reason this geeks me out: that's located in Houma, Louisiana, which, as every fan of Alan Moore will know, is the home of the muck-encrusted SWAMP THING. In my mind, that's almost a team-up between him and Cade.
- Super-Powered Fiction Files has some very flattering things to say about BLOOD OATH, too. Thanks.
- And I will be guest-blogging all month at LitFest Magazine. I promise 90 percent original content. Or at least 70-85. Somewhere around there.
2011 is here — yes, I know, it's actually been here for a while — and thanks to Richard Feliciano, I've got a brand-spanking-new website to go in with the new year.
For those of you I haven't already bombarded with the news, THE PRESIDENT'S VAMPIRE, the sequel to BLOOD OATH, will hit stands April 28, 2011. If you can't wait that long, there's a preview included in the paperback edition of BLOOD OATH, available March 1. Even more bloody mayhem included, I promise.
More features will be added to the site as we get closer to the launch date — including an original, untold tale of Nathaniel Cade, as well as previously classified files on his persistent enemies in the Shadow Company.
For everyone who's read the first book already, thanks so much. It's going to be a great year.
My interview with Minnesota Public Radio's Kerri Miller is here on the MPR website. Also, you can now pre-order the paperback of BLOOD OATH, and pre-order the sequel, THE PRESIDENT'S VAMPIRE. And let's not forget the stylish merchandise you can grab at Zazzle.
OK. That's it for the message from our sponsors. Now, the news:
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss: Tea Party Senate candidate has reporter cuffed for asking questions at public event.
Twenty-eight songs from Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow.
Why TV is so great and movies are so bad right now.
Creepier than Cloverfield: Video of mysterious sea creature. (Begins at 1:30.)
Guide to Bigfoots around the world.
Nathan Fillion is already an A-lister to me. (Wow. That looks really creepy when it's typed out like that.)
Why do "True Blood's" vamps have their fangs on the laterals, not the cuspids? This is actually something that's bothered me for a while. Leave it to The Answer B!tch to uncover the truth.
The weirdest moments from Archie Christian Comics. I read all of these as a kid. The weird part is, at the time, none of them struck me as weird.
Gawker Media now has more readers online than any newspaper except the New York Times. To be fair, most newspapers have scandalously few pictures of giant goldfish, so it's sort of their own fault. (Other news buried in that chart: the LA Times is getting killed by everyone except the Wall Street Journal, which charges its users for some content.)
If I had a million dollars: art deco motorcycle. (Via BoingBoing.)
Messing with Sasquatch in Minnesota.
The first 40 pages of my novel BLOOD OATH, in German. (My high school Deutsch teacher, Herr Luttman, would be so proud.) BLUTIGER SCHWUR hits stands in Germany on September 13. Also, Suspense Radio interviews me with my brilliant publicist Megan Underwood Beatie.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Rainman $75 Off Adopt Fee!
Facts about Rainman $75 Off Adopt Fee
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/Border Collie Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Rainman $75 Off Adopt Fee's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Just because Rainman's adopt fee is reduced $75 does not mean there is anything wrong with him. He is a happy healthy young dog. He loves people and is ready for a new home. We just want Rainman to have his own forever home with his own family.
Rainman was adopted and had to be returned due to the adopters small child developing severe allergies. The child's dr advised the family to give up all pets. So they returned Rainman. He has developed in to a BEAUTIFUL stunning dog. He current weighs about 45 -50 pounds. He is house trained, crate trained. He likes other dogs and he is great with cats. He is kid safe and mother approved.
Rainman is neutered, current on shots, deworming and on heartworm prevention. He will be microchipped prior to going to his new home.
We do require a pre screen application to adopt. You can get that on the main web site at www.saveamuttkennel.info Please read the FAQ page while you are there.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rainman $75 Off Adopt Fee, a Sussex Labrador Retriever/Border Collie puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Border Collie for sale in Sussex, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Border Collie puppy from a breeder in Sussex.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Sussex already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Sussex breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever/Border Collie breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Border Collie rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Sussex paves the way for another one to be saved.

Last fall, Barack Obama was deemed by all the great and good as the man to save the country from its financial crisis because of his calm. As John McCain flailed around, Obama stayed steady, and commentators ascribed to him the most extraordinary leadership qualities based merely on his equipoise.
How is that working out? Well, the stock market has lost roughly 25 percent of its value in the past two months, destroying more than $2.6 trillion of wealth. But at least President Obama is calm.
It always seems as if something breaks down or needs replacing whenever large bills are due.
If it's time to pay the homeowner's insurance premium, then one of our vehicles needs new tires. If it's time for property tax bills, then the hot water heater goes out. That's just the way life is.
Somehow, though, while there might not always be money for the things we want, there always seems to be enough for the things we need.
Economists agree — banks have too much debt and we, dear Americans, also have too much individual debt.
In 2008, 25 banks failed in the United States. In just two months this year, 16 banks have failed.
I heard on National Public Radio last week that Americans now owe $13 trillion on mortgages and credit cards and that's as much as the country's GDP, or Gross Domestic Product.
The GDP is a measurement of the output of goods and services in the country — a picture of the total U.S. economy.
A killer once stalked me almost snuffing out my young life.
The deadly force didn't lurk around corners, sneaking quick peeks or huddle outside the shrubs in front of my house - watching, waiting.
This frightening phantom was hiding inside my chest, little by little, growing over many years.
It was coronary heart disease.
The dreaded slayer takes more lives than any other disease in the U.S. and it had my number.
My church believes, and probably many others, in a lot of counseling before a couple gets married.
It's a good idea.
It's not really counseling. It's more like getting to intimately know the person you want to live with forever. You get into all sorts of areas that never come up in normal dating. You know, things like money, where are you going to live, how about kids, and so on.
It's a great idea.
A family history of heart disease? Who, me? Of course not.
My grandfather has had some heart trouble, but he's in his 80s now. Oh, and my dad and my uncle had some trouble, but they were both heavy smokers prior to their heart problems.
OK, so I guess this is a "family history" of heart disease, but like most of people, I didn't want to admit it.
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.
Mark Twain
Good grief, look how things seem to be falling apart for the old US of A right now. It's enough to get you down some. What do you do in a time like this so you don't lose hope? Well, I don't know about you, but I always like to call up my trusted personal advisor, Mr. S. Willey. "Slick" to his friends.
Continuing down the road of bills being proposed in this session of the Kentucky legislature, we find ourselves staring, or rather, glaring, at a bill from Sen. Denise Harper Angel, (D-Louisville). Harper Angel's bill would require fast food restaurants to post calorie counts on drive-thru menu boards.
It also applies to burgers and fries, as well as menu items at any restaurant chain with 10 or more locations in the state.
It has been estimated that drive-thru windows account for 60 to 80 percent of a fast food restaurant's sales.

The Winners of Good Housekeeping's First Annual Anti-Aging Awards
In our 2010 Anti-Aging Awards an annual feature the Good Housekeeping Research Institute tested 90 products on 820 volunteers, conducted more than 3,000 lab tests, and tallied 1,800+ questionnaires to find the 26 best anti-aging beauty products. Find out how we tested anti-aging skin products during 18 months of research and see how the testing equipment works. Also, meet the anti-aging experts behind this massive undertaking.

Best Facial Moisturizer with SPF 15+: The Winner
The contenders: Daily moisturizers with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher promising benefits that include a firmer, more even-toned, less lined complexion.
Testing time: Eight weeks.
And the winner is... Admittedly pricey, Chanel Ultra Correction Lift Lifting Firming Day Cream SPF 15 ($150, department stores or amazon.com) proved to be an all-around MVP (most valuable product). It rated highest overall with consumers and was also the most moisturizing. While the Visia Complexion Analyzer images showed very little reduction of age spots or wrinkles with any of the 10 products tested, using the Chanel did result in a slight improvement in beneath-the-surface UV spots (which turn into splotchy skin over time). Testers also gave Chanel the top score for firming, softening, smoothing, and adding radiance to their complexions. "I liked the creamy texture and the way it went on," reported one pleased panelist. "It really helped my skin look plump and younger."

It's "What have you been watching?", my chance to tell you what movies and TV I've been watching recently that I haven't already reviewed and your chance to recommend things to everyone else (and me) in case I've missed them.
The usual "TMINE recommends" page features links to reviews of all the shows I've ever recommended, and there's also the Reviews A-Z, for when you want to check more or less anything I've reviewed ever. And if you want to know when any of these shows are on in your area, there's Locate TV - they'll even email you a weekly schedule.
First, I'll apologise in advance for the typos: I'm just heading out the door to watch The Imitation Game.
Anwyay, we're nearing Thanksgiving and the Christmas season (aka 'December') which means that viewing options are starting to drop off, new shows are few and far between, and old shows are giving us their mid-season finales. But I have watched a couple of new things, including State of Affairs, which I've reviewed elsewhere.
Cara Fi (UK: S4C)
A dying Welsh village puts the faces of its single men on the sides of milk cartons to attract women there. Starring Dave Coaches (Steffan Rhodri) from Gavin & Stacey, it's pretty gentle, not especially romantic comedy with a sad basis in reality. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but it's a different change of pace from the usual fare and it clips along decently enough.
The Comeback (US: HBO; UK: Sky Atlantic)
Lisa Kudrow plays a fading, once semi-famous actress, trying to use reality TV to make a comeback, only to discover that she might get a second chance, playing a thinly veiled pastiche version of herself in a sitcom. Technically the show's second season, it's first season airing in 2005, and since then, most of its young stars (Kellan Lutz, Malin Akerman) have gone on to better things, although Akerman makes a cameo in the first episode, Lutz lined up for a later appearance. However, as with the first season, this is such an insider TV show that even though I've been writing about TV and US TV for the best part of two decades, even I found it a bit niche. More damningly, I didn't laugh once. Fans says the show's simply ahead of the curve, in which case I'll probably find it funny in 10 years' time, but seeing as most of it is cringe comedy and laughing at people who've fallen on hard times, maybe not.
I've also watched a movie:
Robocop (2014)
Remake of the 1980s 'classic', this hits neither the original's lows nor its highs, loses virtually all the satire, and ditches Nancy Allen's tough female partner for Omar from The Wire. Nevertheless, the story of a murdered cop turned into a cybernetic police officer for a privatised police force does actually do some interesting and different things, looking at the concepts of free will, the nature of perception, media manipulation, the disabled, prosthetics, and the tensions between altruistic science and those funding it. It's certainly not memorable and will probably be forgotten about soon enough, but it's nevertheless a pretty decent film that would probably be a lot more noticeable and notable were it not for the original.
And I've been to the theatre, too.
Neville's Island (Duke of York's)
Four Northern middle managers (Neil Morrissey, Adrian Edmondson, Miles Jupp, Robert Webb) go the wrong way on an outward bounds course and end up stuck on an island in the Lake District. How will they get on together? Will they escape? And will any of them go mad and attack the others? I'm not saying, but it's a fun play which ultimately doesn't say a whole lot, but is entertaining nevertheless, with some good performances. It also features one of the best sets I've ever seen – or smelt. Seriously, that's some moist piney goodness they've got going on there.
After the jump, I'll be running through: Arrow, Constantine, Elementary, The Fall, The Flash, Forever, Gotham, Gracepoint, Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, The Newsroom and Scorpion.

Rev was both an Epitaph debut and a debut as Ten Foot Pole.

On Rev, Ten Foot Pole delivers a collection of 13 machine gun, rapid-fire guitars, driving beats and catchy riffs. Features original lead singer, Scott Radinsky.
