Each envelope has a different evaluation of learning tool in it eg call my bluff, tweet for help, text what you have learnt, gimme 5 (new words etc) for kids to lift out and stick into books as they choose to reflect on learning. The silver board is called el espejo de reflejo (the mirror of reflection) of what to stop doing, do more of and do less of, either for me or talking about themselves.

Self reflection board
Thanks as usual to Twitter, I have found some cool ideas I have merged into one.
Friday, 26 September 2014
Here are some of my favourites:
A generic one. (3 depressing facts. Today isn't Friday. Tomorrow isn't Friday. Even the day after tomorrow isn't Friday)
Form 3 are doing parts of the body (I've got your nose)
Form 2 and Form 5 are doing the topic of education (When your teacher separates you from your best friend in class)
Yes, you could probably find most of these using a search engine but the excellent thing about Pinterest is its ability to store these pins for you.
I saw a tweet a while ago on Twitter about Plickers and made a note to myself to check it out. As Upper 6 ploughed their way through a timed essay today, I decided to have a look. The tag line on their website is "Plickers is a powerfully simple tool that lets teachers collect real-time formative assessment data without the need for student devices" It uses funny wee cards and one smartphone and it's genius. Here's my idiot's guide...
1) go to the website http://plickers.com
2) sign up for an account
3) select classes tab and click on Add new class then type pupil names in. This was slightly tiresome as I have all class lists electronically but couldn't see a way to import them. Nor could I see a way to fix a typo and ended up deleting a class (twice!) and starting again.
NB message just arrived in email
"You can edit a student by viewing your roster for that particular class from the Classes tab on the website. Then, you can hover over the student's name to see the dropdown menu arrow, and you'll have options there, including one to "Edit student." "
4) print off the cards from the website and ensure the pupils know which card is theirs, according to the number on the website class list. I went to the photocopier room after school and have copied enough to let the pupils have their own to glue into their books. I figure this will save time and make it much more immediate than giving the cards out every time, sorting the numbers etc..
5) select library tab and type in a question plus 4 options for answers. Then add it to a class. Today I did a question in Spanish for U6 on how happy they were with their essay and one for Form 2 on their favourite subject.
6) crucially, download the Plickers app! I forgot I had done this and a tech-savvy U6 and I struggled round the website trying to work out how to use it. Whoops!
7) open the app and log in with the same user details as the website.
8) select a class and then select the question you want to ask them.
9) click on the camera icon at the bottom of the screen.
10) get the pupils to hold their card up with the side labelled A, B, C or D at the top according to what they think
11) slowly scan the room and the app registers the pupil responses, with a bar chart displayed in the top right corner as it constantly updates the responses. Genius!
Of course, with Apple TV on, the pupils found it hilarious to be on the big screen but all in all it went well and I think it has enormous potential.
Reflections of an iPad classroom 26/9/14
Oh blog, it's been a while. Apologies but I'm sure I'm just like the rest of you, hitting the ground running after the summer.
So the iPads are still with me for the foreseeable future and the HODs and SMT in school have all got one each too. It's been weird for me trying to think about how to use one iPad in a classroom when I'm used to at least one between two, one each at A level. There are certain apps which lend themselves to it of course, from the fabulous Explain Everything to my two of my favourites for starters, Decide Now and Make Dice Lite.
I have been using Explain Everything in three main ways. Firstly, I have made some videos, using old PPTs and recording audio with them, as a way to flip the classroom. The videos are uploaded to Edmodo and the pupils can access them there in advance of the lesson, which frees up the lesson time to consolidate learning. Secondly, I have marked pupil work which they uploaded to Edmodo, talking through mistakes as I circled them using the pen tool and then I uploaded the video back onto Edmodo for them to watch and correct their work. Lastly, I have taken pictures of pupils' work in class as we have worked through translation work. It is easier for them to see corrections if they can see the base model on the screen and we talk through the different options they have too. I am finding that they are contributing more than they would otherwise.
With the set of 17 iPads, we have been using Quizlet in bursts within the lesson to consolidate vocabulary acquisition. The pupils love it and feel it has really helped them learn the vocab. I set up a departmental account that they all log in to, which means that the tailored vocabulary is there waiting for them. Interestingly, we find the website better than the app, if you choose to use it.
Finally, today I used Plickers for the first time. I had read about it on Twitter but hadn't done anything with it yet. It's a way of using one iPad in the classroom to assess pupil understanding and record answers. I'll do a separate blogpost on it soon.

Network for Languages Philip Campagna Differentiation
We were able to attend a series of talks/workshops run by Routes into Languages In our school last month. The first I went to was Differentiation by Philip Campagna. Here are my rough notes:
Of the ways to differentiate, the easiest (although a bit of a cop out) is differentiation by outcome.
Most teachers teach to the middle.
Be careful with extension work, a lot of bright children don't like the idea that they're given harder work, they want to go deeper.
If differential gets wider within a class, planning gets harder and harder.
Target the individual pupil, give them autonomy.
Is planning more about getting through topics or helping learners progress in their learning?
The attitude of the learner is key. How do we get a learner to buy in?
Look at language acquisition rather than rote learning with little comprehension.
Writing is just copying at this stage. We want them to develop skills.
David Crystal A little book of language.
We should be like tennis coaches, break it down, exaggerate it.
Differentiation by support, let them see the bigger picture, work the first two questions as examples.
Teacher, pupils helping each other, classroom assistant.
Language ambassadors/leaders. Get them to talk to younger pupils re what it was like to go through GCSEs.
Audit rest of staff to see if they have any languages.
Differentiation by text / resources.
Need to build in challenge even for lower ability pupils.
Differentiation by task. Eg do similar task where weaker ones interview 6th Years, as they find writing difficult.
Differentiation by interest: what are they interested in?
Do they want to go off skiing etc? Interview them re interests eg future plans and teach them that vocab
Teachers dislike identifying less able pupils but kids know.
Use 'at least' as this gives even weakest chance of success. (At least 2 better than at least 5)
Replace at least 5 words in the text with synonyms
Use same photo for different activities with different year groups.
Form 1 as self.
Forms 2-3 as third person.
A level conditional
Differentiation by support. Give less able pupils key words or ask them what words they would want to say.
Improvise as many sentences as you can which contain the word X (eg Tigre) Go table by table for feedback on possible sentences.
Differentiation by support:
Explain to your partner how you did something, figured something out.
We don't give them iPhone classes but they work it out because they want to.
Ask kids how we could use the technology.
Ability groups or mixed ability groups acc to fitness for purpose.
Try boy/girl seating plan for some activities. Watch the boy dynamics.
Work in groups to reconstruct the text.
Network for Languages Philip Campagna Group Talk
The second session at the Network for Languages event was led by Philip Campagna on Group Talk. Brain child of Greg Horton, we have been playing around with the idea of Group Talk for a while now so I was keen to hear what Philip had to say. Here are my notes:
Developing independent learners
Barriers to effective speaking:
How do I monitor it? As opposed to other skills where I collect the answers in.
Nature of the tasks - often mundane, transactional and predictable. Non-engaging stimuli.
Often confined to pair work, lack of collaborative group work.
Poor pronunciation due to lack of coverage of basic phonics.
Talking cards round the room, pupils went round, pressed the button and answered the question. Made them think on their feet. This is something I could do with the iPads.
a e i o u Do a point and repeat exercise
Do a chopping sign for acute / accent
Give them mini flashcards with the sounds oi, ui etc and one person in group holds up the sound card as the teacher calls the sound.
Phonic trains - join in as lead pupil in each train moves round class making the noise of their card.
Sheets with image groups eg trois, poisson, oiseau etc.
Restricted meaningful use of TL impacts negatively. Make it meaningful and purposeful.
Peer pressure, not cool to speak out in class
3 names on slide, ¿cuántos años tienen?
Opinions, speculative language . Give them this language.
Rules of engagement
Stage 1
Groups of 5, first turns card over, says something and turns it back over. Next person does the same. No comment from others in group.
Stage 2
Give opinion (positive or negative)
Stage 3
Add adjectives, or justifying statements,
Stage 4
Others respond to the statement with agreement or disagreement
Turn photos face up. First person says something. Only one person at a time, if two speak at once then one backs off. Tell them to have three responses to their comment in the group then move on to next photo.
Give me one phrase from each table that you would have liked to have had
Do the Group Talk sheet as a levelled framework
Develop speaking activities which move away from role play activities
Talk to the pupils about what they want to study eg past tense?
Step away and don't comment when they are talking.
Note to self: Bring photos back in at start of lesson as a starter, use the Guardian Eye Witness app

Roca, papel, tijeras, evolución
So thanks once again to the wonderful MFL Resources Yahoo group where Rachel Hawkes caught my interest posting about Chris Fullers' game Rock, Paper, Scissors, Evolution. I have played it with 6 different classes in the past two days and they all loved it.
Pupils circulate round the room, exchanging a selected piece of information eg favourite hobby, food, etc. Once they have exchanged information, they play Roca Papel Tijeras. Here's where the evolution comes in.. They start as an egg, holding their hands clasped above their head. Whoever wins rock paper scissors in each pair 'evolves' into a chick, then into a bird, an elephant (don't ask!) and finally the ultimate winner is the first to become a superhero. The key is that eggs can only talk to eggs, chicks to chicks, etc..
It sounds more complicated than it is, it only takes a few minutes so it's a great starter and kids of all ages loved it #win

As a gift for my younger sister Olga, a German laywer, I tried to think of something that is meaningful and very functional at the same time, and I made her a lawyer's robe.
The robe is in a lightweight wool, the cloth has a light feel and being a natural textile it has a breathable quality that makes it cool to wear and offers the softest and most luxurious feel to the touch. It also offers the same comfort and static-resistant qualities of an all-natural fabric.
Back has a nice form-fitting curvette yoke. As for the bell bottom sleeve, it features three pleats, on the right sleeve there are button and closure for a comfort during writing.

Ashton Kutcher Shares Daughter's Name And Photo…Sort Of
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis recently welcomed their daughter into the world and the actor has now given us a little glimpse into their new baby's world. Firstly — the name: Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher. Cute, right?
As far as a picture of their new bundle of joy, Ashton took to his official website to post several baby photos so that we may guess which one belongs to them. Lovely, a guessing game!
He posted this nugget on the website along with some baby pictures and with the exception of the animals, we have them included below. He shared:
Mila and I would like to welcome Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher to the world. May your life be filled with wonder, love, laughter, health, happiness, curiosity, and privacy.
Can you guess which one is ours, or does it really matter? All babies are cute.
And now the pics:
Any guesses?

You have an Operator Presence Relay that is powered through the seat switch to complete the ground circuit of the PTO. A bad connection/switch at the seat switch, OPR or PTO connection could be the culprit. For starters- Another possibility is that you are shifting around in the seat after mowing awhile and a marginally adjusted Seat Switch is disengaging. You can go into more extensive PTO tests, such as jumping 12V and ground directly to the PTO to see if it engages. |

I'm not sure if this is happening to anyone else, but in my Pokemon Black 2 game, at the beginning of Route 4, North of Castelia and South of Nimbasa City there is a Trainer called Breeder Irene. I battled her once and then every time I leave the Route 4 area and return to it again, it's as if I haven't battled her at all and she attacks me again? I'm not sure if it was a Glitch for just Black 2 or if it's happening on White 2 also, I just want to know if it should be happening. I read on another forum that Breeders in White and Black 2 continue to battle you for "Easy Experience" during the game (I guess it would make sense as they're breeders) but I'm not sure. Thanks!

Saurashtra has created history by bringing down fancied opponents such as Karnataka and Punjab and reached the final of the Ranji Trophy championship. But one cannot miss Saurashtra's Jamnagar connection.
Old timers still get a kick out of a mere mention of Jamnagar, the capital of the erstwhile princely State of Nawanagar. Rajkot, Bhavnagar and Porbandar have enriched the region's cricket culture, and a handful of India's leading business houses have made the port city famous as 'the oil city of India', but a reference to Jamnagar in cricketing circles makes one reminisce about its glorious past in the field of cricket.
Famous players
The famous cricketers to emerge from this region were Ranjitsinhji, who played for Sussex and England and his nephew Duleepsinhji, who also played for Sussex and England. Others with Jamnagar connection are Vinoo Mankad, Salim Durani, K.S. Indrajitsinhji and Ajay Jadeja.
Jamnagar was never short of patrons for cricket and most of the players of this region have been entertainers and quick learners. The late Rajsingh Dungarpur never missed to highlight a point about the genius in Vinoo Mankad when the all-rounder was on India's maiden tour of Australia in 1947-48.
Mankad was dismissed by fast bowler Ray Lindwall for 0 and 7 at Brisbane and 5 and 5 at Sydney. According to Dungarpur, Mankad and Lindwall met after the Sydney Test and the Australian fast bowler advised Mankad to modify his back-lift from high to low. Mankad scored 116 and 111 in the third and fifth Test matches played at Melbourne and 49 in the fourth at Adelaide.
"Mankad showed the meaning of a true professional cricketer by correcting a mistake,'' Dungarpur used to say.
Salim Durani's father Abdul Aziz played for Nawanagar for five seasons from 1936-37 and left his family in Jamnagar after partition. Salim learned much of his cricket in the conducive environs.
Indrajitsinhji kept wickets for India in four Tests and Ajay Jadeja, though born in Jamnagar, went on to play for Haryana, Delhi, Rajasthan and Jammu & Kashmir.
The game has become popular in other parts of Saurashtra and the prolific scorer Cheteshwar Pujara hails from Rajkot and so is Sitanshu Kotak.

Nashua asks DOT to build $3.6M roundabout on East Hollis Street
The aldermanic Committee on Infrastructure gave its approval for the city to enter into an agreement with the New Hampshire Department of Transportation to construct a multi-lane roundabout at the intersection where East Hollis Street and Canal Street meet Bridge Street.
"This is a project that is 10 years in the making," said Tom Galligani, economic development director for the city. The proposed roundabout was identified a decade ago as the centerpiece to the East Hollis Street master plan, he said.
"This intersection is anything but traditional," said Galligani, maintaining a roundabout would reduce fuel use, decrease pollution, lower operational costs, reduce noise in the neighborhood and keep vehicles moving.
"This intersection is so bad," said Alderman-at-Large James Donchess, noting a roundabout certainly couldn't make the traffic worse.
"I don't know if a roundabout will do anything to solve it," said Cookson, adding some constituents will likely have a problem with the roundabout concept.
Although the committee ultimately voted to recommend final passage of the proposed resolution, concerns were raised about traffic on the other side of the river in Hudson.
Funding for the nearly $3.7 million roundabout will be paid with federal and state funds, with no cost to the city, Galligani said.

Here's Your Chance: What Did You Think of Twilight: New Moon?
Discussion By Neil Miller on November 20, 2009 | (38) CommentsAlright all you young ladies, soccer moms and dudes still hangin' out in the Twihard closet, lets have it. The new movie in the Twilight franchise, New Moon, has hit theaters today (Nov. 20) and we know that you were out at midnight, crawling out of your sleeping bags to get your tickets and get inside for a first look at the second phase of the Edward/Bella saga. We also know that you were treated to more brooding, more vampires and even some kick-ass wolf fights.
And while my own review is still in progress (trust me, you won't like it if you're a Twilight fan or apologist), I would like to know what all of you thought of the latest Stephenie Meyer adaptation.
Just a quick note… Please refrain from the hate speech in the comment section below. We want to know what you thought of the movie, and while we also would like to see some healthy debate, there's no reason to be impolite. I'm looking at you, regular readers who don't like Twilight…

Echo and Soft VoIP PBX Systems
Echo cancellation is a hugely CPU-intensive process. A complete echo canceller for 92 simultaneous calls, or four PRI T1 lines, consumes on the order of one GIPS. The calculations involve mainly 8-bit operations, and in other ways are not optimum for the PC architecture or CPU cache. Thus, software echo cancellation is one of the major factors limiting the performance of soft PBX systems.
In an effort to improve overall system performance, software echo cancellers are usually highly optimized to reduce the PC load. One compromise made in the interest of saving CPU cycles is that the "learning" algorithms that update the FIR estimate are not run every time a voice sample is processed, but much less frequently. So the system trains slowly. You often hear quite considerable echo well into the conversation until the echo canceller trains and the echo decreases.
Another of the trade-offs is the absence of a nonlinear processor, which often is eliminated completely in soft echo cancellers. This is why there is usually some residual echo on systems such as Asterisk, even after training.
The goal under Asterisk was to provide software echo cancellation for a full quad E1 card (120 channels) with current PC technology and still be able to do other useful voice and data processing. This is indeed possible, but as discussed, the echo canceller trains slowly and after training there is still usually some remaining echo.
You can use the old-fashioned attenuation method to reduce residual echo. The transmit and receive gain settings in Asterisk (txgain and rxgain) can be set to negative values that reduce the sound volumes, but also produce acceptable final echo performance. One limitation is the txgain and rxgain settings in Asterisk are global, meaning the gain settings are compounded for any system with bridging. For bridged TDM systems, it is hard to get the balance between voice volume and residual echo right. But for simpler systems, setting txgain = –10 or thereabouts usually produces acceptable call volume with little perceived echo after about 10 seconds.
The remaining problem under Asterisk is the slow convergence of the FIR estimation. An ingenious mechanism for dramatically improving the convergence time of the echo canceller is Asterisk's echo training option. Transmitted voice is disabled for a short time during ringing and a spike of sound is transmitted to measure the FIR directly instead of learning it iteratively over many samples. The echo training option eliminates most of the echo at the beginning of the call in many cases. But its use is restricted to simple systems where ringing can be detected. It does not function on PRI T1 or E1 lines.
Today, all long-distance calls over 600km routinely are echo-cancelled at each end. Cell-phone calls to the PSTN always are echo-cancelled. Calls originating from digital end points, such as ISDN or VoIP, should have no echo. Thus, only analog calls over distances less than 600km actually need any echo cancellation. Even local calls often are echo-cancelled by the PSTN, simply because the capacity is there.
The result is that on most VoIP-PSTN gateways, including Asterisk, a great deal of echo cancellation goes on that is unnecessary and, in fact, detrimental to voice quality. For example, a VoIP-based call center may handle mostly 1-800 calls, the majority being long-distance ones that require no echo cancellation.
Although it is complicated and computationally intensive to cancel echo, it turns out that it is quite easy to measure whether echo is present on a call (Figure 4). A simple algorithm built into a Field Programmable Gate Array can measure within a second or two of speech whether echo cancellation is required for the call. If the call has no echo, echo cancellation can be disabled. Thus, for a system using hardware echo cancellation in DSPs, it is possible to allocate DSP resources dynamically to the calls that need them. But the really dramatic improvements are seen in systems with software echo cancellation.
In software echo cancellers, the considerable CPU load that can be freed by echo detection is always immediately available to other processes, which in turn can increase the quality and capacity of the system significantly. More important, echo detection changes the optimization point of the echo canceller design. If only a fraction of calls will require any echo cancellation, the canceller itself can afford to be designed to include the additional features, such as nonlinear processing and fast convergence, that will make the audio truly toll-quality.
Simple to Use Noise Reduction & Echo Cancellation
There is a simple to use solution that works with any VoIP PBX. It is a high quality noise reduction and echo cancellation. The product is called PBXMate and is offered by SoliCall Ltd.
An Engineer at digium claimed that echo training does in fact work on a pri and, from my limited experience enabling echotraining on a pri, I would tend to believe him. How do you think that would work?
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

"You can hear many influences at work with the band's sound (for me it's easy to hear The Beatles as rethought by Marshall Crenshaw in a Crowded House music video as played-like-crazy by Material Issue), but what matters most is that for all the ear-nostalgia evoked, Nine Times Blue is still an original. They embody the faith that great songwriting is still around."
"Marrying crisp, radio friendly but thoroughly infectious hook-lines with effective guitar work and a down to earth production, songs such as "Million Miles", "Fun and Games" and the inspiring title number are the work of songwriting craftsmen. Nine Times Blue are poised to fashion a bright future for themselves."
"This Georgia-based power pop band bears a certain sonic similarity to the Gin Blossoms, evident on "Falling Slowly" with its tom-to beat and rich backing vocals. That can't quite putcher finger on it song structure serves Nine Times Blue well."
"All around, an impressive album from a band that seems to be going places – quickly!"
""Falling Slowly" could be played on rock radio right now, and should be, but it could also have comfortably rested on playlists back in '94 or '95."
"Waldrop's voice makes him sound like he's related by blood to Pat DiNinzio, so if you still listen to Green Thoughts or Smithereens 11 once or twice a year, you'll be happy."
"A combination of great lyrics…great songwriting…backing vocals and solid musicianship...it will come as no surprise to me if I hear any of their songs on a new hit show."
"Driven by trade mark jangly guitars, [Nine Times Blue] delivers old style power pop tunes similar to The Connells, Producers and Gin Blossoms while keeping it fresh and new. In today's musical environment it is refreshing to their music."
"With its high energy pop sound, Nine Times Blue's new album, Falling Slowly, could single-handedly bring about a revival of the alternative rock genre."
"[Many] bands try but never quite achieve the true power pop sound. Nine Times Blue is one band that gets it right."
"Nine Times Blue have released a fine debut album… It's a perfect album for the car stereo system and dance floor. A guaranteed chart climber [with] a classic pop sound."
"For those who like their power pop with a rockier edge, although that said, there are enough jangly guitars and melodies for this to sit comfortably in anyones collection."
"Delivers classic sounds evoking thoughts of the classic era of Power Pop, whilst also conveying a sound and style which is very much in the now."
"I could sworn it was the Goo Goo Dolls or The Gin Blossoms. It's rock with a high jangle content and familiarity."
"Modern, mature, rock/power-pop...in cahoots with the Matthew Sweet/Fountains of Wayne/Crowded House/Gin Blossoms/Jellyfish school of Beatlesesque guitar groups."
"Great songwriting talent with a distinctive, unique voice. It's new and fresh, but with a hint of "Have I heard this before?" A great combination that draws you in."
"Waldrop ingeniously models his catchy writing style and jangly rock arrangements after seminal powerpop influences Squeeze, The Smithereens and The Gin Blossoms, while craftily infusing his radio-friendly originals with a more cutting edge plushness that renders them newly germane."
"The title track,"Falling Slowly," jumps out of the speakers, sounding like a lost track off of New Miserable Experience from the Gin Blossoms. When the music breaks down at 3:06 for a brief acapella moment - it will give you chills."
"The album is full of big drums, jangly guitars, and killer hooks that will have you singing along immediately. In this age of single downloads, it's great to hear an entire album of great songs, and actual guitar solos too! Anyone who's a fan of melodic rock will find plenty to like about Nine Times Blue."
"When was the last time you had your spirits lifted by a power pop group you've never heard of and kept coming back to its disc because it sounds so fresh and invigorating? This debut album from an Atlanta-based rock quartet, Nine Times Blue, hooks listeners with its great rhythms, intriguing lyrics, vocals, and foot-stompin' melodies."
"The Smithereens, Matchbox Twenty, Gin Blossoms all immediately come to mind within the first few notes. And, you know what? There's nothing wrong with that at all. These are great songs that make you want to sing along with them over and over and show that this band has the chops to deliver not only a great record but a promising future. So, do yourself a favor and track down Nine Times Blue's Falling Slowly. Your ears will thank you"
"Like most people, I compare music I've never heard before to stuff I already know, and I very nearly get the same vibe from Nine Times Blue overall that I get from Sister Hazel's Strange Cup Of Tea off of 2000's Fortress. That makes this a winner in my books."
"[Nine Times Blue] serves up a pleasing mix of memorable melodies and heartfelt lyrics that recalls the work of Crowded House, the Gin Blossoms and the Smithereens."
"Falling Slowly is one of the best albums I've heard from a fledgling outfit in a long, long time."
"[Nine Times Blue] have developed a sound that channels such artists as The Smithereens and Marshall Crenshaw and in places reminds one of elements of The Squeeze and the Gin Blossoms. The first full-length album by Nine Times Blue proves that power pop is alive and well in the Atlanta area.""

I hope to get back to my sewing machine this weekend. It has been a busy week with appointments, etc.. This week I worked on my Quilty Fun Sew Along quilt, joining some of the blocks together. This weekend I would like to start working on the baby quilt for our new grandson who is due in March. My DIL has asked for a quilt with hot air balloons. I plan to machine embroider the balloons. The quit is still in the planning and the fabric selection stage. The weather has delayed shopping for the fabric but I hope to remedy that too! Are you quilting this weekend? Linda OH |
Follow-Up Postings:
Linda, that is really cute! I like your bright colors. Will you hang it in your kitchen? I may get a little sewing time on Sunday. I have a rehearsal all morning tomorrow and church all morning on Sunday. DH & I are planning to clean the house tonight and hit the grocery store tomorrow afternoon. So, if I still have any get-up-and-go by Sunday afternoon I'll continue working on the baby quilt for DH's coworker. Donna |

I love those bright colors, too. No quilting for me but I may get some leaded glass windows made for kitchen cabinet doors. My goal is to get Mom's quilt pin basted, though, and I might succeed there. |
I promised myself that I would do our income taxes this weekend, so that's my first task. Of course, the Academy Awards are Sunday night, so I have to watch them. I did get all my sea turtles finished last night, so I may have to spend a little time appliqueing (is that a word?) them on to the background blocks. Then there are fourteen PP blocks in kind of a snail's tail or Shakespeare in the Park pattern that is supposed to look like waves for the turtles to swim in. I also have to hook up a new router for my wifi. That's my weekend. |

Not sure how much actual sewing I'll do, but I do get to go to the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Fest today with a bunch of my friends!!!! I told DH that's what I wanted for my birthday. So I get picked up at 8am and we meet two other gals. Then a drive, some breakfast, quilt show, lunch, more quilt show, a stop for dinner, and maybe I'm home by bedtime?!!!! I'm looking forward to a great day! Have nothing specific to buy today, but a few projects need some fabric, so maybe I'll find something to spend $$ on. (Like I'm NOT going to spend money at a quilt show?! lol) Major snow storm heading our way for Monday.... oh yay. |
Loving that design, Linda! It is so cheerful and spring-like. I may sandwich the New Year Mystery Quilt today and get it ready to machine quilt. Think I'll just birth this one and do an easy serpentine on it so it won't be a UFO. Warmer today and the calm before the storm (literally) coming in tonight or tomorrow. LIke you, being in the Ohio Valley, haven't had a lot of days one would get out and shop. Lots of b'days in a month's time and I've had to do my gift buying online and just have the gifts sent directly from the vendor. Thank God for the internet. LOL |

Sharon, Congratulations on your new great gran baby!!! How wonderful! What quilt will your newest family member be receiving? Jen...I'm envious...going to the quilt show...I know you will have a blast!! A great girls day out...enjoy! I just returned from Florida last nite, so my weekend is laundry, groceries, and waiting for the mail delivery...my sewing connection this weekend will be drawing the February lotto...as soon as the mail shows up! I had a great time visiting and shopping fabric with K8...love that quilt shop in her area...i actually went back during the week and picked up more fabric that is perfect for my kitchen area...yup, fabric took priority over the Florida outlet shopping...guess I'm seriously addicted...lol! Happy sewing everyone! |

Linda I love the bright colors of your Quilty quilt. Sharon congrats on your new GGB! Jennifer going to a quilt show sounds like a lot of fun. I spent yesterday and today crocheting blocks together for a Granny Patch autumn colors afgan that I am making my parents for their anniversary, once I get the 2 sides crocheted then I need to make 4 more blocks for the middle row of the afgan, ... hoping I will get it finished and ready to crochet a border by next weekend. This week I finished hand piecing the rest of the 4 Irish Chain corner blocks for my SBS quilt. I may cut fabric pieces for a 2nd block this weekend. And I am wanting to spend some time reading, ... that's pretty much my weekend aside from getting the laundry done today. Best to you, |
Valarie, when Kate posted that she was shopping with Val, I didn't make the connection that it was you! I hope you had a good trip to Fl. Last night Mark & I did the grocery shopping. This afternoon we cleaned the house, did some laundry and other chores, then did some shopping. Hopefully tomorrow afternoon I'll get some sewing time. Donna |

KOZHIKODE: The decision of the Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode, to roll back their tuition fee for post graduate programmes has cheered the students of the institution.
Though the fees reduction will not be beneficial for the current students, the students believe that the move would be beneficial for the fresh batch of students who would be joining IIMK in the next academic year.
"The rising interest rates charged by banks have put many of us in a fix. Over ten percent of the students come from families whose annual income is below Rs1 lakh," cited a student of first year PGP. Even if we cannot avail the benefit of 3 per cent reduction (Rs 30,000/annum) in tuition fee, we are happy for our juniors, who will be joining the institution in the coming academic year," he added.
However, a few students are of the opinion that the decision to increase the intake of students would affect the quality of education.
Lack of adequate infrastructure facilities and shortage of water would hit the institution after the sudden increase in the number of students, said a student. Earlier, the IIMK director himself, in the news release issued to declare the roll back in tuition fee had admitted that the institution was increasing the intake despite of serious constraints in the infrastructure and acute water scarcity on the campus to offset the reduction in the income.
Meantime, the decision to offer scholarship and fees waiver for students who have proven their excellence in academics, sports and extracurricular activities and children of martyrs of military, paramilitary and police forces have been received with cheers by the student community.

Advice for baby boy name

Hello Mums & Mums-to-be,
My husband and I are expecting our first baby in July and are trying to finalise names. We have a lovely girls name already though are stuck for a boys name. There are lots that we like but they have already been taken by family or friends. There is one name we both absolutely love and keep coming back to every time we talk about the baby name topic, though, we have a slight hesitation as the name is very close to a name from history that is not so great. The name is Harvey. With our surname it will be Harvey Lee, not unlike the infamous Lee Harvey Oswald of the JFK history. Can I please ask your advice. Would you just go with it as you love it OR would it bother you that it has such a similarity to a name in history?Secondly, how would you feel if your child went to school with a Harvey Lee? Would you immediately think of Oswald? We will have a middle name, Maxwell after my Dad who has passed. We both love the name, my brother has already named his son it. Making our son Harvey Maxwell Lee. Your advice and thoughts will be greatly appreciated! Best wishes to you all too and good luck with your name choosing. #2Posted 11 April 2012 - 10:30 PM
I didnt think of it at first, (but it is late and im a bit sleep deprived! ) However now you have pointed it out I can see how it might spring to mind. But that doesnt mean it cant be used. I doubt anyone of his generation would make the connection either.
Didnt help you at all did I!? Edited by vixxistar, 11 April 2012 - 10:31 PM. #3Posted 11 April 2012 - 10:55 PM
I think it would be ok and most people wouldn't even think of that
Edited by kerilyntaryn, 11 April 2012 - 10:55 PM. #4Posted 12 April 2012 - 02:36 AM
I'm really sorry but yes. Before I even read your surname, the name Harvey makes me think of Oswald. Maybe run it by a few more people though - not everyone will make that connection.
#5Posted 12 April 2012 - 07:07 AM
I think those events are long ago now and most people would not make that connection nowadys. In my opinion, go with the name if it's your favourite and you are both happy with it.
#6Posted 12 April 2012 - 07:15 AM QUOTE Secondly, how would you feel if your child went to school with a Harvey Lee? Would you immediately think of Oswald? Yes I would - but I'm not sure its enough of a link to not use a name I loved. Funnily enough I know someone with the double barrel surname Maxwell Lee so you could maybe go that route if it really worried you? #7Posted 12 April 2012 - 08:14 AM
It would make me think of Lee Harvey Oswald - and I think people would definitely make the connection. After all, how many of us in this thread were alive when JFk was shot - and yet how many of us know who shot him (conspiracy theories aside)?
Similarly, bet most people can name the killer of Abraham Lincoln - and none of us were definitely alive then! I think a name that invokes the murderer of a US president, especially when it also involves the biggest conspiracy theory on the planet, would be a tough name to carry. #8Posted 12 April 2012 - 08:18 AM
I love it
#9Posted 12 April 2012 - 08:58 AM
I don't know who shot Abraham Lincoln?
And I wouldn't have though of the connection for Harvey Lee either. If you like the name, go for it. If it going to bother you that a certain percentage of people will make the connection, would you use a similar name - Harry, Hardy, Harley, Harlow? #10Posted 12 April 2012 - 09:02 AM
It does make me think of Lee Harvey Oswald, but then I did grow up in an Americophile family and we had every book and video available on the Kennedys in our house.
If you'd said the name was going to be Lee Harvey, no way would I do it, but I think you can get away with Harvey Lee. #11Posted 12 April 2012 - 09:08 AM
so what if someone makes the connection, it doesn;t mean your son will be an president killer??? It's a nice name, if you like it, go with it:)
#12Posted 12 April 2012 - 09:20 AM
I honestly don't think it matters. If people do make the connection, they will probably think 'that names kinda similar too.....' and that would be the extent of it.
Harvey is a lovely, strong name, go with it OP #13Posted 12 April 2012 - 02:19 PM
John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln.
I'm such a freak I also know who shot Garfield. And pretty much nobody cares about President Garfield at this late date. Anyway, I like Harvey as a name. My granddad was a Harvey. I think I would skip Harvey if I were an Oswald as that's considerably more distinctive. But I wouldn't necessarily just for Lee. I would skip Robert if I were a Lee because, baggage, but not Harvey. #14Posted 12 April 2012 - 02:24 PM QUOTE so what if someone makes the connection, it doesn;t mean your son will be an president killer??? It's a nice name, if you like it, go with it:) This. We named our boy Ike and people have linked it to Ike Turner and baby Ike of Southpark (?? I didn't know this one). It doesn't really worry us. It's not like he'll turn out to be a wife basher or something because of his name. If you love it I say use it! #15Posted 12 April 2012 - 02:25 PM
Makes me think of LHO - but it isn't the same name so if you have your heart set on it then use it.
#16Posted 12 April 2012 - 02:30 PM
I think it's a great name and wouldn't have put the connection together.
#17Posted 12 April 2012 - 07:24 PM

The Dustbowl Revival
The Dustbowl Revival is a Venice, California-based collective that merges old school bluegrass, gospel, pre-war blues and the hot swing of New Orleans to form a spicy roots cocktail. Known for their roaring live sets, Dustbowl bravely brings together many styles of traditional American music. Some call it string band-brass band mash up. Imagine Old Crow Medicine Show teaming up with Louis Armstrong's Hot Fives and Sevens, or Bob Dylan and The Band jamming with Benny Goodman and his orchestra in 1938. It's infectious, joyous music – a youthful take on time-worn American traditions.
Named "Best Live Band in LA" by The LA Weekly, each Dustbowl performance promises to be a white-knuckle ride through the history of American folk music that rarely stays just on the stage. Call it the new old-timey dance hall sound made fresh by some of the best soloists in the business. After placing several songs on ABC and Fox and having tunes featured in independent films like "Made In China" (winner of SXSW) winning Americana song of the year from the Independent Music Awards (Tom Waits judging), playing festivals like Outside Lands and Live Oak and opening for bands like Rebirth Brass Band and Trombone Shorty, the band began barnstorming more extensively across the USA.
Founder Z. Lupetin came west from Chicago and placed a humble Craigslist ad to get the circus started. The group has grown steadily from a small string band playing up and down the west coast, into a traveling mini orchestra featuring instrumentation that often includes fiddle, mandolin, trombone, clarinet, trumpet, ukelele, drums, tuba, organ, a bass made from a canoe oar, harmonica and plenty of washboard and kazoo for good luck.
With their latest record Carry Me Home rising on the Americana charts, the band is slated for a big 2014. A European tour is in the works. They will be recording their first live album at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall and LA's famed Troubadour and have toured the Midwest and East coast.
The Statmen
Janet Klein
The enchanting and effervescent chanteuse Janet Klein performs obscure, lively and lovely tunes from the 1910's, 20's and 30's. Joined by some of her LA based band members, The Parlor Boys, you'll be treated to spirited and inspired renditions of early hot jazz, Tin Pan Alley, vaudeville, ragtime and other rare and rustic gems. Janet Klein has been performing her special brand of song fare since 1996. Her own unique vocal style reflects the old fashioned sweetness and titillating charm of bygone singers like Ruth Etting, Josephine Baker, Lil Armstrong and Mae West. Born in California, Klein has always felt a strong affinity to the music and culture of the early twentieth century. In addition to being a classically trained pianist, she also plays a mean ukulele and has a voice as sweet as a robin's song on a sunny, spring morning. Be sure to take a peek at her ukulele as it is a one-of-a-kind instrument beautifully adorned with cherry blossoms. Her band, THE PARLOR BOYS, are all gents who avidly collect old recordings from 78 rpm records and are immersed in the pursuit of capturing an authentic vintage sound and musical style. Janet and her band regularly perform at historic theaters in Hollywood and Los Angeles and other landmark venues throughout the United States. Their CD release "Living In Sin" was voted in the Top Ten Jazz and Pop Critic's Award Poll of the Village Voice. The band has returned from their fifth tour of Japan including the Internationally Renowned Fuji Rock Festival, in conjunction with their 7 have just debuted in Australia as part of the Cabaret Festival of Adelaide and will be appearing at the Ukulele Hooley Festival in Dun Laoghaire Ireland in August 2013. Once a year they perform at the grand 1927 Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite, and monthly at the Steve Allen Theater in Hollywood, Cicada Club at the historic art deco Oviatt Building downtown Los Angeles, and the Old Town Music Hall, El Segundo.

Greetings from horribly humid and hot Florida. I have an issue with some plumerias we recently bought. The gentleman we purchased them from grows them at his home and he has quite the plumeria garden. Unfortunately I cannot get around to his home else I would ask him what may be ailing our plants.
The leaves are beginning to get yellow and faded with some strange spots. The plants are watered weekly when the soil feels really dry. It has been hot as hades here recently and I am not sure what it could be. We have not fertilized or noticed anything creeply crawly under the leaves. They are in partial sun in 10 inch pots with a cactus plant soil. We were hoping they would make it a few more weeks until our new home is finished then we could plant them in the ground but the concern is that whatever this is may kill them. I included a link that has pics of the leaves. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. http://yfrog.com/0ns6300827yjx ~h |

At first, I thought/assumed it may be starting to drop leaves in prep for dormacy (normal yellowing from the bottom leaves). After seeing your pictures, I suspect it's a bug. Spider mites or whiteflies (probably the latter). Are they in an area that gets a lot of air circulation? That will help. I had a few seedlings in my greenhouse that got whiteflies and looked similar. I put them outside, after cutting off the leaves and spraying and they're fine. I'm also in S. FL. |
They are on our screened in back porch.. circulation. Well, not the best I would say. How best to eradicate these pests? If I were to remove the affected leaves, we are talking a stump on some of them. I just need them to hold on a few more weeks!! Aarrgh!!! |
- Posted by lovefrangis 10 (My Page) on Sun, Oct 11, 09 at 5:15
Look at Home Depot for something that kills Whiteflies. I think I used something by Ortho. As for taking off the leaves, that is going to happen anyway soon when they go dormant. Then in the spring, they should leaf out again. You need to kill the whiteflies and keep them off. |
If you can find a source of good grade worm castings, these spread and watered into the ground quarterly will discourage whitefly and other leaf chewing insects. This is also excellent for hibiscus. Also your plants seem to really like this. |

That's interesting. I've heard great things about worm castings (not sure how to tell good quality though). If it takes care of whiteflies, it's even more beneficial! |
I'm sorry that your plumeria have whiteflies, but I'm so happy that you posted your concern with a photo. I've been trying to find out what is going on with one of my plumeria and your picture is exactly what my plant looks like. I'm unhappy that the darn whiteflies have come to visit, but now I know what they are, they will soon be eliminated. |
If you have white flies, you can usually see them flying around when you rustle the leaves a bit. I used a spray from Home Depot and it worked well, but you must follow up with another application. |

Our second N.T.W.I.C.N. post is dedicated to one very specific (and uber dramatic) moment in time – Mariah vs. Marshall. Immediately, you should be flooded with lyrics like "Why you so obsessed with me, boy I wanna knowwwww" and "lyin' that you're sexin' me, when everybody knows". Yes, I'm talking about that fateful Mariah Carey Eminem diss fest back in 2009 over an 'alleged' 6 month hook up in 2001 when she flipped her lid and went to the hospital for 'exhaustion' (and stripped on TRL- omg the memories).
The reason for this dedication is because the other night it came to light that our PDX Store Manager had no idea this even happened!! I know.. I. KNOW. So, while explaning what went down to her whilst listening to before mentioned diss tracks, I knew this post had to be.
Regardless of your feelings for Mariah or this song / video in general (don't even get me started), "Finally found a girl that you couldn't impress, last man on the earth still couldn't hit this" will forever be iconic to me. I mean, such a good line for any dude who can't take a hint. Things I do love about this video though: It's basically her MTV Cribs episode moonlighting as a music video – she's more obsessed with herself than he probably ever was and to be honest, I effing love it. Also, that her (very weird and totally not believable) portrayal of him was sooooo unnecessary – but aren't we glad it happened?
Now here's where it gets real. Oh, Marshall.. oh, slim shady.. you went there. You frickin' went there and back again. Personally, in my opinion – homeboy won this war. Not a word and sadly, another diss track, was made after this came out (unless you count Nick Cannon's, but come on, who cares).

Forget the Seahawks and the Bronco, last night was really about the Dillon Panthers versus the East Dillon Lions—according to Aziz Ansari, that is.
While everyone was tweeting about the Super Bowl, the comedian offered up minute-by-minute updates on a made-up game between the two rival teams from Friday Night Lights, which he dubbed #FNLBowl2.
It didn't take long for the hashtag to dominate Twitter, even former FNL stars, like Scott Porter, who played former "QB1″ Jason Street, got into it.
From Lance Landry to Grandma Saracen to Jess Merriweather, no character got benched during Ansari's Twitter takeover. See some of the best #FNLBowl2 tweets here:
It started with one tweet:
And only went up from there, as he imagined what each character would be doing if they were in New York:
And then fans started getting involved, and things got even more awesome:
And then finally, even stars remembered what it was like to feel Dillon pride:
Texas Forever.
