Why Do You Teach?: What Sustains Us in Our Work
In my previous post, I discussed how important it is for me to connect with my students, and how one way I do so is by eliciting their stories.
I also need to make connections with other teachers. So I ask, why do you teach? Most teachers get a dreamy look on their faces when I ask them this question. Most haven't thought about it in a while.
Recalling the reasons why we teach -- keeping them fresh and foremost in our minds -- is, I believe, the key to sustaining ourselves during the long and challenging school year.
I teach because, for me, it's the most effective and most enjoyable way to change the world. That's the bottom line: We need to change this world, and this is the way I'm choosing to do it. Teaching allows me to work on hearts and minds, to guide people in becoming empowered, literate, engaged, creative, liberated human beings who want to join in this effort to change the world.
I've seen it happen. I always believed that my students could transform and find themselves, in addition to becoming literate people and graduating from high school, but now I'm witnessing it. I'm seeing students I taught in elementary school and middle school graduate from high school, discover their skills and passions, and go to college. I always knew they could do it, and now they're doing it. That's why I teach.
I also teach because some didn't make it. Some of the sweet, brilliant, gentle sixth graders I taught many years ago are now on the streets, in gangs, in jail, in trouble. Their names and faces come to mind fast. I vividly remember their inquisitive faces, probing questions, musical compositions, and acting skills when they were twelve years old. I knew them as little boys. They don't look like that anymore. My heart aches. I keep teaching because we're losing too many kids in Oakland.
I work in middle schools because that's where the battle gets most intense but also where we can still reverse problems. I love middle school kids. I love where they are intellectually and emotionally. I love being able to engage them in the kind of rigorous discussions they aren't ready for until around sixth grade, and then I love getting hugs once in a while (in contrast to elementary school kids, who want hugs eight times a day, every day). You can still turn their lives around in middle school. I know; I've seen it.
I remind myself of these reasons, and all the others, quite often. Teaching kids, and adults, is hard -- really, really hard. I need to regularly remind myself why I do this. I have dozens of visual cues on my walls: quotes, photos of old students, and student artwork and writing. I list the names of those who made it, and those who didn't. I have photos of my family, because I also do this work for my son, because of my mother and grandmother, and with the endless support of my husband. I need to have all my intellectual and emotional receptors regularly tuned in to the reasons I've chosen this profession, because it's really hard, and exhausting, and never ending, and overwhelming.
So, why do you teach? Why do you teach reading, or science, or art? Why do you teach kindergarten, or ninth grade, or college? Share your stories. Share them here, share them with colleagues as the year starts, and share them with your students.
And, most of all, remind yourself why you teach.

I teach mostly because I too want to make a change in the world. Where better to start than with the children whom I hope will someday grow up to be respectful, responsible, caring citizens. I have a genuine caring and love for children as do most teachers, and I feel that many kids are in need of grownups who believe in them and help them to make good choices. I find that parents are sometimes so busy making ends meet at home that education and even the social skills that children need are sometimes overlooked. I teach so I can work as a partner with parents and caregivers. Being around young children everyday is amazing, they are so innocent, happy, and eager to learn new things. I find great joy in helping a child learn something for the first time.
There are 2 main reasons that I teach. The first is that I love music and I feel that it is my responsibility to expose students to as many different styles of music as possible. The second reason is simple-I enjoy working with children. I don't think that I could see myself doing anything else.
What a great topic to talk about. I teach because I love children. I want to help in their path to success. My dad is a teacher so wanting to do this came naturally to me. I had a negative experience in Kindergaten and I suppose that is why I teach this grade. I want to be my students first positive experience to school. I want to set the tone in a way that my students won't be scared to share answers with their peers. I try to make my classroom non-threatening and inviting. When I hear the words out of my students mouths "I Like coming to school" I feel I have started their career in school positively.
I also remember all of my teachers names. I think it was great to have such positive through school when you needed it most.
I teach for the a-ha moments that happen everyday. I am a 2nd year kindergarten teacher. (I was a kindergarten para-professional for 3 years.) There is nothing better in this world than teaching a child to love learning. Every day is a new opportunity for me to discover more ways to have fun while teaching an academically rigorous kindergarten class. My students work hard and play hard. We celebrate every success regardless of how big or small it is. Having fun while learning to read and write is the best way I know to ensure my students love to learn!
You say you are not passionate about teaching. What are you passionate about? Have you ever thought of switching grade levels? Try to find what you love to do and then find a way to make money doing it. That's the American dream. I can't believe you stay in teaching for the time off. Teaching is a life-long commitment, not a school year commitment. I hope you find your passion and leave this profession before it's too late for you and your students.
I wake up in the morning excited about going to work. I cannot imagine feeling the way you do about teaching. I feel sad for your students to have a teacher who believes them to be unbearable.
So I could be a mentor to young people.There is anything so fulfiling to me when my students seek my advice on their personal issues that affect the commitment to school work.I feel useful when I am able to help them.
I teach because I want to make a difference in the lives of my students. I teach because I want to change the world and I know that it all begins with the youth. I teach because I want my students to know that their futures are limitless and that they possess the potential to go far beyond their dreams. I teach because I recognize the power & freedom that education brings and I want to share my knowledge with my students. Finally, I teach because I simply can not see myself doing anything else, I belong in front of a classroom of students.
Early on, I knew I wanted to teach. I looked up to each of my teachers every year and thought, "I want to be just like them!" I envisioned my teachers to have everything in their lives together and wrapped in a nice neat bow. They were what I wanted to be...someone a child can look up to with admiration and respect.
Now, I know teachers are truly great people who have a deep commitment to make a difference in the lives of children. I strive daily to make a difference in each of my students' lives. I want to be that strong role model that they can look up to and admire. I want to be their cheerleader that encourages them to reach a little higher than they thought ever possible. I want them to learn to trust in themselves and their talents. I want them to realize their potential and how exceptional each one is.
I also teach because I love seeing the light come on when a new skill or concept is mastered that we have worked so hard to accomplish. I teach for the pleasure of having students come up and say they love to come to school because they know I have something fun and exciting for them to learn about that day. The ultimate compliment I must say that makes all the hard work of teaching so worthwhile is when they say, "I love you" and "You are the best teacher ever!" I have students that are now in high school that still remember the activities that we did in kindergarten. I have made a lasting positive impression and just for that reason alone...that's why I teach!
I teach because I love kids! I have a passion for music and want to develop that same passion in my students. I feel that every student deserves to have a well-rounded education and be exposed to the arts and especially to music. I love developing relationships with my students. As a middle school band director, I love to be a part of the process of taking them from putting their instruments together, making their "lovely" first notes and sounds, playing "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and "Twinkle Twinkle", playing in their first concert, and then by 8th grade grade, playing some pretty difficult music and feeling confident that I have prepared them for high school band. I feel proud to know that I have helped create in them positive self-esteem, responsibility, teamwork, social skills, work ethic, and much more. I teach because I want to help students develop their talents and potential. I love to see their personalities come alive with a building of confidence. I strive to be a good role model. I know that whether or not they continue in music in high school or college, they have learned important life skills, made new friends and memories, and learned how to read and appreciate music while playing an instrument. Going to work for me is not just a job or a career. I know I am making a difference. I know that I was born to teach and wouldn't want to be doing anything else.

With Japan's earthquake-induced-Tsunami-induced-almost-nuclear-meltdown out of the way, we have another made-for-media mini-war. Operation Odyssey Dawn – live on Al-Jazeera for extra credibility. During some outraged moments, @joydas tweeted this and here's a cartoon based on it. Thanks @joydas.
I think the world is smarter than it looks, especially when we least expect it . The UN resolution for imposing a no-fly zone may have been on the edge, but it is legal. And it may save a lot of lives in Benghazi, where the situation has worsened. But today's strikes by the French and the Americans, seemingly to weaken Gaddafi's forces for enforcing the no-fly zone without opposition, crossed the line. While Britain and France seem to be looking for their long lost leadership (and relevance) on the world stage, the US, by staying on the 'leading edge' of operation Odyssey Dawn, seems to be saying "we'll show you how it is done".
There may be no shock and awe this time, but the message is clear. The West will continue furthering the cause of freedom and democracy in illiberal states by taking down dictators who have served their purpose. The other owners of countries can relax, as long as they can put down rebellion before the world's cameras turn towards them.

Horticultural Therapy
As part of our Pediatric Rehabilitation program, teens and pre-teens participate in horticultural therapy each week. During these therapy sessions, the children learn about the environment as they touch and physically interact with soil and other natural elements, and also have a chance to use their creativity to make natural crafts and plant projects. Working with plants is a very normalizing activity, and at the same time provides a wonderful educational opportunity for children. Inpatients often participate in intergenerational patient groups, in which children learn to talk to adults and reach out and help adults who are new to the group. This builds confidence and pride.
Our state-of-the-art children's play garden, designed by a multidisciplinary team of childhood experts, is also used by a number of other departments, including Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech-Language Pathology and Psychology, to help patients achieve their therapeutic goals.
For further information on Horticultural Therapy Services, please visit the Horticultural Therapy page.

Twisted ~ Part Two
The next thing I new, I was back at school with Dusty, crying even harder as the story of the events that led up to me and Mattie splitting up fell out from my lips. Dustin was holding me even tighter, and as I looked up into his eyes for a glimmer of comfort, there was none. No happiness, no joy, no solace. All replaced with a intense and fiery spark I had never seen in him before.
A split second later he was standing me up, gripping my shoulders somewhat tightly, staring deep into my eyes with a rage that few people had probably ever even seen. "Gracen, where's Matt?" The anger was quite evident. Seeing my Dusty like this kinds scared me, and the tears ran dry in my eyes as I gave him a horrified look. "I-... I don't.." I stuttered out, but Dustin already had my hand in his and leading me away from our special place. I silently let him lead me along, hoping the confrontation that was coming wouldn't happen. But of course, it did. As soon as Dusty seen him, he let go of my hand and walked over to Matt, who wasn't paying him any attention. "What the hell do you think you're doing," he yelled as he grabbed two handfuls of Matt's shirt, catching him off guard. And then he practically threw Matt to the ground, who hit with an almost sickening crunch on his arm. He squinted his eyes in pain and bared his teeth, but Dusty went on talking. "What the hell do you think you're doing treating him like that?!" He yelled it with such intensity, it caught me off guard. "You know, I'm glad you messes things up with him," he went on, still yelling, although a little more hushed, "because you can't possibly deserve someone as amazing as him! You treated him just like some sex toy while he was falling for you. You make me sick." He finished, turning around to face me. I felt tears threaten to well up again, but this time, they were more happy then sad. Then I started walking, almost running to Dusty, before throwing myself in his arms and pushing my lips against his. It ended too soon for my liking, and he was then leading me away from the area, hand in hand. We ended up at his car. He opened the door for me to get in and gently closed it behind me. "Why did you kiss me?" He asked. His voice sounded weird.. not mad, but something else. "Because.. I.." I looked away shyly, but he turned me back around. "Gracen.. Do you like me?" I blushed my confirmation to his question, and he looked away. "You know, I've always kind of liked you." He looked over at me, smiling sadly. "But I don't want to be that way." "What do you mean?" My voice quivered. I was an emotional wreck on the inside. I hope it didn't show too much. "I mean, I don't want to be gay. I want to have a wife, a family. I can't have those things with another guy." He gave me a look. A look that said he meant every word of it. My heart sunk even lower, if that was even possible. "What?" My voice was rising to a shout. "So where did all of those things you were saying come from? Were you just saying that to make me feel better?!" He looked completely guilty, staring down at the steering wheel of his car. A tear fell from my eye, but my voice stayed strong. "Why would you lead me on like that, making me think that you might've actually liked me too?" "Gracen.. I'm so sorry." I didn't need sorry. "Yeah. Me too." I climbed out of his car, slowly pushing it shut, before hurrying off to my car. The only thing I noticed the entire time was that Dustin didn't come after me. ----- When I got home, all I could do was cry. My dad didn't even question why I was skipping school, and he even called me in as sick. It was a nice thing to do, but it didn't help. I felt lower than ever before. Everybody breaking my heart left and right.. I'm so tired of it. So I ate some oranges (my comfort food) at watched a lot of crappy TV for the rest of the day, my eyes still watery but no tears falling. Later that night, I got the urge to go for a walk. To get away from it all. So I casually went to tell my dad where I was going and left. As I started walking, I thought about everything: Matt, Dustin.. Thought about them until me head hurt. I guess I had been walking for awhile, because now I was halfway across our little small town. I noticed a car drive by, a white convertible, but the top was on. It looked familiar. Then it hit me. It was the car that was at Matt's house. And no doubt, the guy who Matt cheated on me with was probably in it. I was surprised when the car slowed to a stop a few feet ahead of me and put it in reverse until it stopped level with me. The blonde guy, who, now that I saw him up close, looked very cute, poked his head out the window. I was prepared for something harsh to be said, but instead I was met with a soft, caring voice. "Hey. Do you need a ride?" (To be continued...) |

Ok, I wanted to save my comment to the end of story, but hell...
Please, for your own sake, take it lightly. Its only an opinion of a single person. This is very well written piece. The flow is smooth and trilling, I couldn't stop reading despite the fact that main char, this little "I don't know what I want" uke, pisses the crap out of me. Again, jugging by a lot of mangas and anime I'm in minority here. I find very exiting the confrontation between two semes. Guys fighting is always a treat. Any way, you definitely got the skill and power with words, so I'm looking forward to the continuation and will gladly see more works of you. I would be delighted if you put more weight in to that Matt guy, he deserves some more colors, imho. Keep on the good work and make it a happy end, cos, you know, our creations are like magic - they affects our lives.

Ah, thank you very much for your thoughts! It is very helpful, and, oddly enough, I do agree with you. I do indeed plan on giving Matt more weight, especially now that he has had his confrontation with Dustin. Hopefully, the main character will also blossom into a more appealing character for you more towards the finale. Again, thank you for thoughts. It is very helpful, and I hope you find the next part more to your liking. <3

Suffering is the unifying theme of the latest edition of tpm editor Julian Baggini's Philosophy Monthly. Is it all bad or do we need at least some it. Mark Vernon and Havi Carel argue that suffering can be part of the good life, while transhumanist Nick Bostrom makes the moral case for a future when death and disease will be conquered. Janet Radcliffe Richards also talks about suffering as a manifestly bad thing in her incisive critique of muddled morality.

Sounds like that file is owned by another user -- probably root. Use "ls -l" to figure out who owns it. You'll be able to delete anything when logged in as root, but be really REALLY careful when doing that. One typo when deleting stuff as root could really break your system.

Welcome to The Doherty Relationship Institute! Bill and Elizabeth are thrilled to welcome you into their little corner of the world, contribute to your wellbeing, your professional growth, or participate in some part of your world (presentations, testimonial writing for books, etc.)
Combining two distinct voices
Bill Doherty, Ph.D. has been at this "marriage stuff" since the early 70's. His daughter was born in the mid 70's and after years in the corporate world and raising small kids, she is joining forcing with the works of Bill Doherty while distinctly adding her own unique voice and passions around marketing, social entrepreneurship, and marriage enhancement.
We are an unusual team (for good, we hope.) We cross genders, generations, life experiences, and for being such strong marriage advocates, we hold secular marriage advice as our core competency while having deep respect for religion. You'll find us talking to people from both ends of the religious and political spectrum, having deep, sincere friendships, and coming together over shared passions.
Bill Doherty and The Doherty Relationship Institute
There is distinct work of Bills that will always be separate, but we're having fun bringing in a lot of his interests into what we're dubbing "DRI." We both love grass roots, citizen engagement movements, marriage and parenting conversations, teaching and consulting, and technology as a way to enhance learning and social communities.
What we do
This list is only the beginning, but what we're building includes:
- a membership area for therapists and family friendly divorce professionals with advanced training, networking, and a directory around helping couples who are in discernment around whether to stay married or divorce.
- a membership area for advanced as well as beginner training, for couples therapists across the nation
- a brand new way to strengthen marriages, by way of helping the natural confidants (friends and family) be more confident and skilled at navigating the small to large conversation they are currently having, called Marital First Responders
- consulting with organizations large and small, around shared passions in strengthening marriages and family life

EW's 10 best bets for Best Picture Oscar
Thanks to the ''Passion of the Christ,'' this Oscar season started way back in February. Now, with the year more than half over and a handful of performances (Jeff Bridges in ''The Door in the Floor'' and Meryl Streep in ''The Manchurian Candidate'') beginning to amass awards buzz, studio strategists are logging hours like a Kerry/Edwards aide. ''Right now there's a lot of jockeying for position, both with release dates and trying to figure out who the real contenders are and who the pretenders might be,'' says Lions Gate Films Releasing president Tom Ortenberg, who's prepping Best Picture campaigns for ''Fahrenheit 9/11'' and October's ''Stage Beauty'' (with Billy Crudup and Claire Danes).
But it's never too early to start spinning! ''This year looks more likely to include films from categories that are not traditionally included,'' says Warner Independent president Mark Gill, pointing to ''Fahrenheit'' and his company's foreign-language entry, ''A Very Long Engagement,'' both of which will make Best Picture pushes. ''Are there fewer big-studio movies that feel like they're major contenders?'' asks Gill. ''Yes. If you consider that a weak year, then so be it.'' Weak or not, there will be five Best Picture nominees. With six months to go before the big night, here's our alphabetical list of the 10 best bets.
Could be a contender...if its epic scale, formidable battle scenes, and tragic personal tales -- fashioned by 11-time nominee Oliver Stone -- remind voters of ''Gladiator.'' Unless...by
shying away from the title character's homosexual affairs (as the movie's rumored to), it attracts more controversy than praise.
Could be a contender...if voters appreciate that Martin Scorsese has gone violence-free. Leonardo DiCaprio is said to be a revelation as tycoon Howard Hughes. Unless...it feels more like an encyclopedia entry on Hughes than an actual movie.
Could be a contender...for its pedigreed lineup of director Mike Nichols (1988's ''Working Girl'') and cast members Julia Roberts, Jude Law, and Natalie Portman. Unless...its partner-swapping plot strikes voters as too much of a downer.
Could be a contender...with its stunning script by two-time nominee Charlie Kaufman (''Adaptation'') and knockout performances by Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. Unless...its March release and middling box office ($34.1 million) erase it from voters' minds. (An end-of-year DVD release could help.)
Could be a contender...if already strong support among the actors' branch of the Academy grows even stronger in the wake of the election. Unless...Moore's publicity parade grows tiresome by January. And no documentary has ever reached the big dance.
Could be a contender...thanks to its whimsical style and sweet performance by Johnny Depp as ''Peter Pan'' author J.M. Barrie. Unless...Miramax mounts an ultra-aggressive campaign that smacks of ''Chocolat'' (though that one worked).
Could be a contender...with a cast full of past nominees (including Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, and Willem Dafoe) working under the weird and watchful eye of ''The Royal Tenenbaums''' Wes Anderson. Unless...the Academy still finds Anderson too weird and continues to relegate him to the screenplay category.
Could be a contender...if the Che Guevara biopic rides its festival buzz to a bushel of critics' awards. Unless...the movie ends up getting submitted in the foreign-language category.
Could be a contender...if the $370 million blockbuster's devoted following convinces the rest of the Academy congregation that beneath ''Passion'''s lightning-rod exterior lies a miraculous achievement with a real directorial vision. Unless...they toss the movie a bone in the form of a Best Actor nod for the long-suffering Jim Caviezel.
Could be a contender...since it marries ''Amelié'' director Jean-Pierre Jeunet's fanciful flourishes with a serious WWI-era story and features two-time winner Jodie Foster speaking impeccable French. Unless...it gets overshadowed by ''The Motorcycle Diaries.''

:thumbs: Idea!!
We have a large whiskey jar at home which we save loose change in all year round. The top is sealled (apart from a coin slot) to stop anybody 'Penny Pinching'!! If you empty your pockets at the end of the day, you don't miss the small chnage BUT it soon adds up!! :yes:
Over the course of this year alone (since January) we have saved up about £400 English pounds (approx. $650). This money certainly goes along way as spending money when on holiday / vacation. :yes:
We will be saving all this money for our next visit in 2006... Who knows how much there'll be then... and the good thing is we haven't really missed the money!!!

Korean language
Korean language
Official language of North Korea and South Korea, spoken by more than 75 million people, including substantial communities of ethnic Koreans living elsewhere. Korean is not closely related to any other language, though a distant genetic kinship to Japanese is now thought probable by some scholars, and an even more remote relationship to the Altaic languages is possible. Korean was written with Chinese characters to stand in various ways for Korean meanings and sounds as early as the 12th century, though substantial documentation is not evident until the invention of a unique phonetic script for it in 1443. This script, now called Hangul, represents syllables by arranging simple symbols for each phoneme into a square form like that of a Chinese character. Grammatically, Korean has a basic subject-object-verb word order and places modifiers before the elements they modify.

Do you feel trapped in the machine of excess? Jen Hatmaker was. Her friends were. And some might say that our culture is. Jen once considered herself unmotivated by the lure of prosperity, but upon being called "rich" by an undeniably poor child, evidence to the contrary mounted, and a social experiment turned spiritual journey was born. 7 is the true story of how Jen took seven months, identified seven areas of excess, and made seven simple choices to fight back against the modern-day diseases of greed, materialism, and overindulgence.
Food. Clothes. Spending. Media. Possessions. Waste. Stress. Jen and her family would spend 30 days on each topic, boiling it down to the number seven. Only eat seven foods, wear seven articles of clothing, and spend money in seven places. Eliminate use of seven media types, give away seven things each day for one month, adopt seven green habits, and observe "seven sacred pauses".
So, what's the payoff from living a deeply reduced life? It's the discovery of a greatly increased God - a call toward Christlike simplicity and generosity that transcends a social experiment to become a radically better existence. 7 is funny, raw, and not a guilt trip in the making, so come along and consider what Jesus' version of rich, blessed, and generous might look like in your life.

"Wish the author had narrated the book herself."
Jen Hatmaker is an incredible speaker. I wish the author had narrated the book herself. This narration has mispronunciations in a few places that are ridiculous. If the author is an amazing, successful speaker, why on earth not have the author narrate themselves?
Made me rethink many things about the way we live.
Mispronunciations. Her sarcasm is forced when the writer so clearly has an ease and comfort in her writing style. She's not Jen Hatmaker.
So many things it's impossible to write in this box.
"Great book"
Loved listening to this book. Gave me a lot of great ideas, and reminded me of important biblical principals.
I would recommend this book!
"Loved this book!"
The honesty and the fact Jen laid it all out there.
Crazy Love, by Fances Chan.
This book is funny, thought provoking, at times challenging, and always brings the focus back to Jesus.
1) The incredible bluntness and truth that the author expressed.
2). The humor that was just twisted enough to be real but not calloused or rude.
3). The overall theme to live a life more fully focused and devoted to Jesus.
4). I couldn't wait to get time to listen to this book and I didn't want it to end! I really began to feel involved in the Hatmaker journey!
If you are contemplating the purchase of this book, I think most will find themselves on a lovely journey with Jen Hatmaker. Her awe and reverence for God, her intertwining of scripture, and her easy humor will surely make you glad you sat for a listen!
It opened my eye to the things I was viewing as "normal" and showed me what I really need to be focused on. I'm constantly wondering at the end of the week. What just happened? Did I get anything done? I was not enjoying life I was doing it. This book really shook me and there will be change in my life.
She described one of her friends and their relationship with television, and I realized I was doing the same thing. I do that! I can't believe some else doses that that's hysterical… then I realized how much of an idol it has become and that there needs to be change in that area of my life.
"Awesome Book!!"
I loved this book! It makes you think about the way we (the average person) are living our lives. I recommend!
"I love the candid "voice" the author has."
Inspirational, Motivational, and I can't narrow it down to three words! Jenn lovingly takes us on her journey of self-evaluation and testing, and she provides enough knowledge behind her decision making to give her reader a beginning knowledge base about each topic. She is candid in her struggles, and that inspires me to join her in evaluation of my lifestyle and in decreasing Self so that Christ can increase within me.
The story and idea is an excellent one if you are looking for a way to find a closer to connection to God.
The telling of how she came about the idea, and her experiences during the writing help to provide a good guideline to anyone who wishes to try the experiment, and for them to realize no one is perfect. the humor in the story had me laughing at points and really put in my mind that I could try this.
The narrator had a good voice that carried you along with out making your roll your eyes and wish it was over. as some books that are not actual stories sometimes do.
"One of the best books of all time!"
What an incredible ride! This book is phenomenal. The narrator is amazing and gets every word and inflection right.
This is a great lesson on excess and the book really made me think about how I live day to day. Do we really need to buy new things? Or do we just want them?
It made me think about others and the need to be a good neighbor.
This should be in every book club and given away as gifts.
It was an enjoyable "blog" book that brings up some very interesting points in our lives. I have relooked at my life, my possessions, and how I waste much and trying to figure out how to change that.
No, I have not heard this reader before but I felt she was excellent-made it very enjoyable
I recommend this to all to listen to, to consider and share.

RYE, N.Y.–Jarden Corporation, the housewares giant, has entered an agreement to purchase The Yankee Candle Company for approximately $1.75 billion.
Jarden will acquire Yankee Holding Corp. and The Yankee Candle Company from a fund managed by Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC for $1.75 billion and up to $55 million in additional cash earn-out payments based upon achievement of certain performance targets, subject to working capital and other adjustments, the companies said.
The deal will extend Jarden's portfolio of consumer brands in niche, seasonal staple categories, while creating opportunities in cross-selling and broadening its global distribution platform, according to Jarden. Jarden expects Yankee, which generated $319.1 million in net sales for the first six months of 2013, to expand its Branded Consumables segment to approximately 35 percent of combined sales.
"As a successful, well-managed and well-invested business, Yankee Candle is a solid platform for us to leverage our proven, time-tested and portable brand-building approach and to drive additional value through investments in brand equity, product development and innovation," said Martin E. Franklin, Jarden's founder and executive chairman. "As our first significant acquisition since April 2010, Yankee Candle embodies all of the characteristics of our market-leading brands, while offering a compelling financial and strategic value proposition."
Harlan Kent, president and CEO of Yankee, said joining Jarden enables both companies to share best practices, presents many cross-marketing opportunities and enables Yankee to continue to expands its international business and open more stores. "I am very proud of our Yankee Candle team and their proven ability to create scentsational customer experiences, and deliver industry leading financial performance," Kent said. "I don't expect us to change this winning formula, and am excited to work with our new partners on continuing to grow this wonderful business."

Very rarely do I post tracks that aren't available for download. I'm of the opinion that unless a record is HUGE, or from an artist that genuinely earned their position in the industry, the only way to get exposure is to allow people to become fans. Download your records. And LOST has a history of shitting on this standard.
And even more rare is the post from me with vocal drops. This collaboration between LOST and Requake is making me break my self-imposed rules. Just as I kick dirt on producers abandoning dubstep, this heady tune restored my faith that the records we REALLY love will come back. It put me back in a really happy place.
But LOST has a history of tucking tunes for an INCREDIBLE amount of time. "Dirty Bandit" was premiered on a UK radio show, and took nearly a year to get offered up for free download on his Facebook page. Let's hope "Bad Bitch" doesn't come out in 2014.

You bet! The primary flight control in a balloon is heat. Adding heat from a propane burner or venting heat through a parachute style top allows a pilot to control the altitude that they wish to fly. By changing altitude during flight the pilot will seek winds that are favorable to his flight plan. On almost any given day there will be changes in direction due to "Coriolis Effect" and ground speed due to Wind Gradient. The first is the result of the Earths rotation while the second is by-product of friction as air nears the ground.
Even on a day it seems like the wind is only blowing from one direction there will be layers that allow a pilot to have a remarkable amount of control over where they are going. Here in the American River Valley we also have "eddys" that are formed by the surrounding land features. These "eddys" work much the same as the white water river we fly over. As wind wraps around a rock (or in our case a hill) it will actually flow back upstream. The wind works much like water so we are often able to go back "up river", much like a kayak pulling in behind a rock. Unlike other California hot air ballooning sites such as Napa Valley and Temecula we can often land very close to where we took off from! There are very few places offering hot air balloon rides can fly an "Out & Return" pattern. Truly a special place to fly, and we think ourselves fortunate to be the only Hot air Balloon Ride Company operating here. If you are going to go ballooning anywhere in be sure to think about this jewel of a flying site, sitting right here in Northern California.

Talk about high concept. It's Christmastime, which means we'll be hit with the usual barrage of greatest-hits albums, this year by the likes of Gloria Estefan, Randy Travis, and other key players of the good old '80s. And since that decade was all about greed, what better way to commemorate it than with shameless best-of packages designed to shovel up those lucrative holiday sales?
You can, for instance, relive the '80s roots revival on the Fabulous Thunderbirds' Hot Stuff: The Greatest Hits, 11 slabs of beer-and-potatoes roadhouse boogie that qualify the well-meaning T-Birds as the world's luckiest bar band. Remember the early days of explicit rap? In light of N.W.A and other hard-core storytellers, the 2 Live Crew's ''Me So Horny,'' ''We Want Some Pu--y,'' and other dubious highlights of The 2 Live Crew's Greatest Hits really sound like novelty ditties now. And with regard to zany Thatcher Britain, you can trace the deterioration of punk into arch but danceable new-wave Goth on Julian Cope's seamless Floored Genius: The Best of Julian Cope and the Teardrop Explodes 1979-91 and Siouxsie and the Banshees' uneven Twice Upon a Time/The Singles.
At least Randy Travis had hits, as amply demonstrated on his two-volume Greatest Hits. Spare, earnest, and Dobro-fueled, songs like ''On the Other Hand'' and ''Forever and Ever, Amen'' dragged country back to its bare roots in the mid-'80s, and they still sound high and lonesome, if clean-cut. But Travis would have been better served by a single CD instead of two separately sold volumes, especially as each Hits disc is a shameful 36 minutes long. Gloria Estefan's Greatest Hits fails to answer the key question of whatever happened to Miami Sound Machine, but it does cram in ten top 10 hits by the heir to Karen Carpenter. Estefan has a pleasant, assured voice, although she has too often been saddled with Nilla-wafer ballads and salsa arrangements straight out of a Days Inn lounge. Of the four new tracks, one is a yuletide ballad, meaning Estefan has it both ways: a hits album with a Christmas song. Now, that's marketing! Thunderbirds: B- 2 Live Crew: C Cope: C+ Siouxsie: C Travis: both A- Estefan: B

Are honeycrisps apple trees pretty hard to grow? I"m going to plant one this fall? |
Follow-Up Postings:
They are slow to come into bearing and go biennial easily. So yes they are one of the harder apples to grow. Based on what I've read and the low vigor of my plant don't get one on too dwarfing of a rootstock. You won't have trouble keeping it small. |
Mine are biennial, but they fruited immediately. They have had low vigor and are in poor, extremely well drained soil. I bought bare root on M26 and M27. The M26 is about the size I was expecting from the M27 which is nice for the small suburban lot. The M27 is so small it is just a novelty. |

They are not slow to bear in my climate- just in the middle of the spectrum. They are relatively low vigor so you should match it up to a more vigorous root stock than you would with more vigorous varieties. Here the growers complain about it's tendency to get fruit rots, not so much biennial bearing when talking about the difficulty of Honeycrisp. I get pretty reliable cropping of it at the few sites I manage it and I don't use chemical thinners. I think the biennial problem might apply to very young trees. I wouldn't expect it to perform in Texas as it does here- I would think it would be pretty crappy there as when it ripens early here due to early spring the quality suffers a great deal. It drops off the tree prematurely when weather is too warm and it approaches ripeness. It would not be my first choice, unless maybe I was in Z 4 or possibly 5, but then, like many who obsess on apples, the amazing crunchiness of Honeycrisp only gets me so far. It's texture is very distinctive but its flavor, IMO, is not. Nice balance of acid and sugar but no bouquet. It also won't get you very far into winter from the fridge. |
I planted Honeycrisp against my better judgment. I figured if it tasted so good, it must be a disease magnet. As it turned out, it is quite disease free in my Pacific Northwest climate where there is heavy pressure from black spot. On M26 it is smallish, just right for my situation. The apples are large and very good quality. They produce every year as I do thin aggressively. |
- Posted by fruitmaven.WIz5 5 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 25, 13 at 21:59
My Honeycrisp tree produced fairly quickly. I put a potted tree in the ground in August 2010, and it had one apple the next year, 4 the year after that, and 5 this year (because I've severely pruned it, so it's an espalier now). I agree it's fairly low vigor. We have clay loam soil. I have heard its flavor is poor in warm zones, but I know it's amazing when grown in MI, WI, and MN (where it was developed). I haven't had any serious disease problems. Sometimes the leaves get curled-looking (not black like fireblight, but perhaps wind damage?). But, it doesn't seem to bother the tree much. It hasn't needed any treatment. |
tcstoehr, what size is your Honeycrisp on M26 now (and is it pretty much full grown?) I'm in Portland and Honeycrisp is on my list to plant next year. I'm curious on which rootstock to get and your observations will help. Also, where around here did you buy the tree? |
OregonEd, I have one on M26 and it is maybe 7 or 8 feet tall and wide with 20 minutes of pruning every year or two. It was planted in the spring of 2005. |
Thanks Murky. How are the leaves on your honeycrisp? I have seen reports of the leaves looking curly and somewhat less than nice, but that could be on the east coast or in the south? I ask because I plan to plant a honeycrisp in my front yard, so I'd like it to be ornamental looking also. |
I don't have a picture handy, but my tree is in the very front of my house right next to the sidewalk. It looks fine. It doesn't get scab or powdery mildew. I don't know if I'd say its ornamental, especially with the kaolin clay impregnated nylon footies on the fruit through the summer. |
Has anyone tried growing Honeycrisp in hot weather areas? I keep hearing they don't do well, but I'm curious if anyone has any first hand experience. The description from Kuffel Creeks states that they do well in their heat: "Honeycrisp University of Minnesota, 1962 Yes, you're reading right; the same Honeycrisp you see in the supermarket. Word is spreading like wildfire that it does very well in hot climates, and the ones we picked from our orchard this year were WONDERFUL! It was a stinking hot September, well over 100 since Labor Day, but the apples we picked were sweet, juicy, very crisp, a bit denser than in the store, but very, very nice with not a mark on them. Oddly enough it is famous for being hardy though the bitter winters of the upper Midwest, but it is not the first Northern apple to do well here (see Wealthy). ... We're proud to be one of the first nurseries to list it as tested good for Southern California." I'm expecting fruit for the first time from mine, so maybe I'll know the answer later this year. |
Murky, that's great, thanks. I know bagging the apples may it look funny, but besides that, glad to hear your tree looks fine. |
I received my bare root Honeycrisp on M26 from Raintree this week. I can also confirm it looks the same as other apples on M27. In fact I also received an Akane on M27, which was larger caliper and more vigorous looking than the Honeycrisp on M26. (and I thought Akane was a rather low vigor variety too?..) Any concerns I had of the Honeycrisp being too large for my small front yard have been put to rest :) |
My Honeycrisp are from Stark's, on M7 with a 111 interstem. Very slow to bear--eight years for the first decent crop last fall, in heavy soil. But it was an awesome crop, with big apples. I do have some problem with brown pit. I was impatient, ready to burn them a year ago, but it was worth the wait. Fuji on M7 also waited this long to bear, but also well worth the wait. What a crop--we are still eating them from storage. One strange characteristic: it is a magnet for Japanese Beetles, like my plum trees. |
I bought a HC from a local nursury the first year I planted. I mated it with a Harelred (suggested by the nursury). After a few years I added a Fireside to pollinate the Harelred since the HC has never had a single bloom. pests hit the leaves on the HC pretty bad but leave the other two alone. I think the best thing I have done for the HC was graft Enterprise onto it so it could have some decent foliage. HC apple are sweet and crisp, but weak on actual apple flavor. When we eventually move I will not be planting an HC. I may graft an HC branch onto a stronger variety tree, but keep it less then 25% of that tree. |

86 Australian Delegation, United Nations, to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram UN24 NEW YORK, 14 January 1949, 11.15 p.m.
The following is text of U.S. preliminary draft resolution referred to in my telegram 13. [1] This has been given to us for 'consultative' purposes and U.S. state they do not intend to table today. Please see also our following telegram.
The Security Council recalling its resolution of 1st August, 1947, 25th August 1947 and 1st November 1947 [2], with respect to Indonesia question; taking note with approval reports submitted to Security Council by its Committee of Good Offices for Indonesia;
considering its resolution of 24th December, 1948 and 28th December 1948 [3], have not been complied with; considering the maintenance of Netherlands Forces in continued occupation throughout Republic of Indonesia is incompatible with final achievement of a just and lasting settlement on Indonesian dispute; noting parties continue to adhere to principles and procedures of Renville agreement [4] and agree that free and democratic elections should be held throughout Indonesia for purpose of establishing a Constituent Assembly at the earliest practicable date and further agree that Security Council should arrange observation of such elections by an appropriate agency of United Nations, and that representative of the Netherlands has declared his Government desires to have such elections held not later than.....; noting that Government of Netherlands has declared its intention to transfer Sovereignty to United States of Indonesia not later than.....; conscious of its primary responsibility for maintenance of international peace and security, and in order that rights, claims and position of parties may not be prejudiced by use of force.
(1). Calls upon Government of Netherlands to ensure the immediate discontinuance of military operations and calls upon Government of the Republic simultaneously to instruct its forces to co-operate in restoration of peace throughout areas affected;
(2). Calls upon Government of Netherlands to release immediately and unconditionally all political prisoners arrested by them since 17th December, 1948, in Republic of Indonesia, and to permit officials of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia [to] return [at] once to Djokjakarta in order that they may discharge their responsibilities under paragraph 1 above. And in order to exercise their appropriate functions in full freedom, including the administration of the city of Djokjakarta, Netherlands authorities shall afford the Government of the Republic of Indonesia such facilities as may reasonably be required by that Government for its effective functioning in Djokjakarta, and for communication and consultation with all persons in Indonesia;
(3).

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 Moose!
Facts about Moose
- Breed: Chihuahua Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Moose's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
He is a chihuahua mix about 15 pounds and he loves everyone!
Other Pets at Woofs, Wiggles n Wags Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Moose, a Scottsdale Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Scottsdale, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Scottsdale.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Scottsdale 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 Scottsdale 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 Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Scottsdale paves the way for another one to be saved.

Curium was first made by the team of Glenn Seaborg, Ralph James, and Albert Ghiorso in 1944, using the cyclotron at Berkeley, California. They bombarded a piece of the newly discovered element plutonium (isotope 239) with alpha-particles. This was then sent to the Metallurgical Laboratory at the University of Chicago where a tiny sample of curium was eventually separated and identified. However, news of the new element was not disclosed until after the end of World War II. Most unusually, it was first revealed by Seaborg when he appeared as the guest scientist on a radio show for children on 11 November 1945. It was officially announced the following week.

Transcript :
Chemistry in its element - curium(Promo) You're listening to Chemistry in its element brought to you by Chemistry World, the magazine of the Royal Society of Chemistry (End promo) Meera Senthilingam This week's element launches us deep into outer space. Richard Corfield Curium is a member of a group of elements, the transuranic elements, that - with the exception of plutonium and neptunium - do not occur naturally on Earth. Curium is a hard, brittle, silvery radioactive metal that tarnishes slowly and which can only be produced in nuclear reactors. The isotope 242Cu was produced in 1944 by Glenn T Seaborg, Ralph A James and Albert Ghioso by bombarding 239Pu with alpha particles in the 60-inch Cyclotron at Berkeley University in the US. Like another synthetic element, americium, the discovery of curium was intimately bound up with the work of the Manhattan Project which Seaborg and his team were working on at the time of their discovery. This meant that neither curium nor americium could be announced to the world until after the end of the war. Seaborg revealed their discovery in November 1945 on the American TV show Quiz Kids just five days before the official unveiling of the new elements at a meeting of the American Chemical Society. Curium is named in honour of Pierre and Marie Curie, who pioneered the study of radioactivity in the final days of the 19th century. Nineteen radioisotopes of curium are known to exist, the first of which, 242Cu was isolated in the hydroxide form in 1947 and in its elemental form in 1951. The most stable radioisotope is 247Cm which has a half-life of 1.56 × 107 years. 248Cm has a half-life of 3.40 × 105 years, 250Cm a half-life of 9000 years, and 245Cm a half-life of 8500 years. All of the remaining radioactive isotopes have half-lives with a duration that less than 30 years, and the majority of these have half-lives that are less than a month. Curium has two main uses: as a fuel for Radioisotope Thermal Generators (RTGs) on board satellites, deep space probes, planetary surface rovers and in heart pacemakers, and as a alpha emitter for alpha particle X-Ray spectrometry, again particularly in space applications. RTGs are electrical generators which produce power from radioactive decay. Usually heat released by the decay of a suitable radioactive material is converted into electricity by the Seebeck effect -where an electrical current is generated at the junctions between two different metals - using an array of thermocouples. However, in some cases such as the Mars Exploration Rovers, the power is used directly to warm the vehicle. For spaceflight use, the fuel must be radioactive enough to produce large quantities of energy per unit of mass and volume. 242Cu produces about 3W of heat energy from radioactive decay per gram which compares favourably with the plutonium and americium sources commonly used in other Radioisotope Thermal Generator applications. Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometers (APXS) are devices that analyse the chemical element composition of a sample from back-scattered alpha particles. Using Rutherford's calculations of the conservation of nuclear energy and linear momentum it is possible to calculate the mass of the nucleus hit by the alpha particle and from this the energy spectrum of the material being analysed. Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometers tend to be confined to chemical analyses required during space missions since, although curium is both compact and power efficient, it is also a hazardous radioactive material. APXSs have a long history in space exploration being first used during the later Surveyor (Surveyor 5-7) missions that immediately preceded the Apollo Moon landings. Since the days of Surveyor alpha particle analysers have been included on many other missions including Mars Pathfinder, Mars 96, the Rosetta mission to the comet Comet 67 P/Churyumov- Gerasimenko and the Mars Exploration Rovers. Back on Earth most curium found in the environment today was generated by the atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons, which ceased worldwide by 1980. More localised pockets of curium contamination have occurred through accidents at weapons production facilities. As already mentioned, curium is hazardous. It becomes concentrated in bone marrow and because of its significant alpha activity can induce cancers. Despite its rarity and hazards it seems appropriate that an element first synthesised during a global conflict that saw the development of the vehicles that would one day take us to the Moon and beyond is now so pivotal to space exploration, providing our robotic pioneers not only with power but also the ability to analyse extraterrestrial materials as well. Meera Senthilingam So, a crucial element in the field of space exploration. That was science writer Richard Corfield bringing us the radio active chemistry of curium. Now next week, the element named after the creator of the Periodic Table. Hayley Birch Brought up in Russia, Mendeleev was the sort of person who, it seems, was incapable of sticking to one discipline and as well as serving as the director of the Russian institute for weights and measures, had a hand in developing the Russian oil industry. Given all this, it's perhaps less surprising than it ought to be that he conceived of the Periodic Table on the same day that he was supposed to be inspecting a cheese factory. Meera Senthilingam So, quite the multi tasker. And to find out the creation, chemistry and history of the Element named after Mendeleev, Mendelevium, join Hayley Birch in next week's Chemistry in its Element. Until then, I'm Meera Senthilingam and thank you for listening. (Promo) Chemistry in its element is brought to you by the Royal Society of Chemistry and produced by thenakedscientists dot com.

The American Way of Eating: Undercover at Walmart, Applebee's, Farm Fields and the Dinner Table
Getting Americans to eat well is one of today's hottest social issues; it's at the forefront of Michelle Obama's agenda and widely covered in the media - from childhood obesity to store brands trying to make their food healthier. Yet most Americans still eat poorly, and award-winning journalist Tracie McMillan wanted to know why. So, in 2009 McMillan went to work undercover in our nation's food system alongside America's working poor, living and eating off her wages, to examine how we eat. McMillan worked on industrial farms in California, in a Walmart produce section outside Detroit, and at an Applebee's kitchen in New York City. Her vivid narrative brings readers along to grueling work places, introduces them to her coworkers, and takes them home to her kitchen, to see what kind of food she (and her coworkers) can afford to buy and prepare. With striking precision, McMillan also weaves in the story of how we got here, digging deep into labor, economics, politics, and social science to reveal new and surprising truths about how America's food is grown, sold, and prepare - and what it would take to change the system. Fascinating and timely, this groundbreaking work examines why eating well in America - despite the expansion of farmer's markets and eat local movements - is limited to the privileged minority.

DiskSpeed32 is a program for hard drive speed measurement in Win32 environment. It measures reading speed in whole disk or its part and plots graphical dependence for reading speed by cylinder number. This allows to obtain comparable data not only for different drives, but also for the same disk under different Win32 implementation.
DiskSpeed32 shows similar results as our previous HDD tests. The two Scorpio drives perform identically and are keeping right up with the Hitachi drive.
