Janani Sampath
Your face beckons me in my sleep.
Like a mirage of passion from last noon's love.
I reach out to touch you, in dreams divine.
Emptiness all around, wiping traces of you.
Dreaminess clouds images of you and me from last night.
Fading pictures of our love float around.
The eerie silence deafening, gets louder as I look for you.
Grief-stricken I go weak, waiting to hear familiar footsteps.
You call out to me from unfathomable distance.
Or, is it the goodbye you told me when I was asleep.
I wake up with a start, reeling under the nightmare.
Now I think what do I do even for a day without you.

Really great place. For first day I felt a bit uncomfortably, because that was my first experience of living in hostel. But kind and friendly staff, as well as friendly atmosphere in general, did their job :) Thanks, that was a really good and pleasant week.

The lobby was possibly the worst smelling place i have ever been to. To the point we nearly left. Location was right next to a busy road. Blinds all ripped off the windows. Beer cans left in the room. But it was £6 each.

I'm not looking for a friends with benefits situation or anything like that so if that's you please keep looking elsewhere. I've been played enough times and I'm tired of games. I'm thinking about cancelling my subsription soon. If you would like to talk sometime send me a message :) Submitted from mobile

Felicia Bond is a modern-day Beatrix Potter, known for her appealing illustrations of animals. The Bronxville native's success in the world of children's book began 20 years ago, when she illustrated If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. The If You Give books are perennial best-sellers, and Mouse Cookies & More: A Treasury (HarperCollins, $24.95) is her latest accomplishment.
Bond says she never thought about the books becoming so popular. In fact, she had just quit a job as an art director in New York, and had moved from the city, when she was asked to illustrate Laura Numeroff's story idea. The two collaborate in a way that sounds surprisingly non-collaborative, though it's the norm in picture books; Numeroff writes the books, and sends them on to Bond for illustration. They work entirely separately, and in fact rarely see each other, though they have "worked together" for two decades. Bonds admits she found the immediate success of Mouse "overwhelming", but gradually grew used to her success. Since Bond doesn't have children, she draws on her own childhood, as one of seven kids, to convey the books' sense of fun. And she uses real-life friends as models for her characters: a former boyfriend is Mouse, and she is the girl in Pig. In one of the books she wrote and illustrated by herself, Poinsettia and Her Family, the title character (also a pig) has six siblings. Though Bond creates a 'back story' for the characters to aid her artistic process (Treasury includes mouse's home, which never appears in the stories), she says she has never ascribed names to the characters; they are simply, Mouse, Pig and Moose. One of Bond's favorite books as a child was the relatively obscure Candy Floss, by Rumer Godden. She also loved the "painterly, expressive Madeline books, and the graphics of Goodnight Moon." The new Mouse Cookies & More has the complete books of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, If You Give a Pig a Pancake, If You Give a Moose a Muffin, and If You Take a Mouse to School. It also includes related recipes, songs, and a CD with the books read by actors.

What's New
Toca Lab is now iOS 8 optimized. Hooray!
App Description
**4th of July sale**
Calling all future scientists!
Welcome to Toca Lab! Explore the colorful and electrifying world of science and meet all 118 of the elements from the periodic table.
Discover elements by experimenting with the lab tools!
* Take your element for a spin in the centrifuge.
* Warm them up in the Bunsen burner.
* Put the element on ice with the cooling agent!
* Add a drop or two of mysterious liquids from the test tubes.
* Change their voltage and make them magnetic with the oscilloscope.
Each element has it's own personality. In Toca Lab, what does Neon sound like? Is Gold heavy or light? Is Nitrogen squishy or hard? Explore, inspect, and study each one and let us know! Can you find all 118?
The time has come, future scientists, to head into the lab to explore and discover. Put on your lab coat and protective eye gear because things are about to get experimental!
Toca Lab is a place for playing and having fun, and with it we hope to inspire kids to explore science. While the periodic table in Toca Lab is accurate, the way new elements are created is not. Instead, it's a fun way to experiment, discover and create curiosity in the world of science. Toca Lab is just a starting point for further exploration!

Between Hotwire and Priceline, it is rare that I pay a rate over $60 for a hotel these days for anything less than a 3 1/2 star hotel. Unfortunately, I was bound to book through a group rate with this hotel at the astounding cost of $109 BEFORE all of the taxes and fees to follow. I stayed in the Westin Oaks Galleria a four star hotel last week for $83 a night! It ticks me off that whoever it was that booked this group of rooms let the Courtyard gouge them at such a rate, and I was stuck to do the paying. Anyway, now that is off my chest, I will try and give an honest review of this property. It was clean, and I really liked the contemporary theme of the lobby area. The staff was very friendly and efficient. The bed was comfortable, but the room was quite small. It has been a while since I have stayed at a Courtyard, and maybe they are all like that. I felt cramped. The bed was facing away from the T.V. I am not sure why. The room was properly stocked with the usual amenities. The bathroom area was tiny and crowded into a narrow area immediately before entering the shower room and toilet. The toilet was one of those small commodes where if you are a man you have to be careful or your bottom area will take a bath while you sit and think big thoughts! The water flow was weak and it took quite some time for the water to get hot. Not that big of a deal, but a bit unusual in hotels these days. Oh by the way, did I tell you I paid $109 plus for this room! ;) Anyway, hope this review helps. This room was not worth what we paid for it, but it was a pleasant enough stay.

Writings on the wall: The rich and the ostrich
The vicious Badal family feud in Bathinda plays on, while the youngest political entrant, AAP, courts ghosts buried long ago. In the margins, Amarinder Singh shows off his black-grey partridge ringtones. And my few minutes of selfie-less fame.
Politicians and pundits both love to describe an election as a verdict from the people's court. But it is, as they would say in a Hollywood courtroom drama, a case of flawed characterisation. The judge and jury are supposed to be impartial and are expected to arrive at a decision by examining all facts and arguments, giving each litigant equal opportunity. But the people are divided and their judgement coloured by ideological beliefs, and their likes and dislikes of personalities. This only peaks during an election campaign. Absolute truths do not matter.
What matters is what people believe at that particular point of time, and strongly enough for just a small minority among them to switch loyalties and preferences and vote for the "other" side. That is why, even in landslide election verdicts in India, or in first-past-the-post systems in most countries, voter swings are rarely in double digits. The rest remain in the old trenches of their ideologies or loyalties. The gap between a decisive victory and a rout can be as little as just one per cent of the vote share.
Or the tiniest fraction of even that. So small, indeed, that it won't even register on the percentage scale, ending up several zeroes after the lowly decimal. Kerala is one such polarised state, where the gap between the UDF and LDF can be as little as a lakh of votes if you counted the entire state as one. But now, it seems even these most intellectually politicised Malayalis can't compete with the Punjabis. In the last assembly election, the Akali-BJP defied anti-incumbency to win a stunning successive mandate, a rarity in see-saw Punjab. They surprised friend and foe. Many in the BJP had already written off that election and Congress challenger Amarinder Singh had even scheduled a party in Delhi to celebrate the "victory".
He ended up with egg on his face, along with the legion of journalists and psephologists who had predicted a change. Sukhbir Singh Badal, Punjab's deputy chief minister and for all practical purposes the successor to his father, Parkash Singh Badal, hasn't stopped smiling since. That unlikely victory was widely credited to his skilled election management, placing of strategic independents, "encouraging the usual suspects of the BSP" in key constituencies to divide the opposition's vote. The crowning glory was his destruction of estranged cousin …continued »

(CHATSWORTH, CA) -- Wildlife Productions' latest feature, "Mirror Image," is available online and in stores as of today, Tuesday, October 22nd. Wildlife made "Mirror Image" a "family" project by casting contract-performer Shay Sights in the lead and bringing contract-director Bobby Rinaldi to the director's chair, in a script written by another Wildlife contract-performer, Nick Manning.
An unexpected love story, Sights and Manning play two high-priced escorts who run in the same circles, but consistently fail to meet, like two ships passing in the night. When they finally come face to face, they realize they have more in common than either of them could have ever imagined. "Mirror Image" explores the possibility that everyone has a "twin" waiting for them somewhere out there and regardless of the chaos that commences within the universe, everything is perfectly placed for where we need to be when that certain someone comes our way.
Shay Sights is featured in two of the movies five scorching hot sex scenes; one opposite Mickey G. And the other with Cheynne Collins. Manning is featured in two separate scenes; a wild romp with Lezley Zen and a super hot threesome with Darla Crane and Aria. The fifth sex scene features co-stars Julianna Kincaid and Rafe.
"Mirror Image" is now available on VHS and DVD at WildlifeXXX.com.

Sustainable Living: Kitchen Tips from the Great Depression
Originally posted on Past & Present:
It just so happens that sustainable living practices coincide with times of recession.
It makes sense, when you think about it. During economic recession, saving money means using less – turning down the heat, making your own dinner, and using less fuel, being kind to the earth as a result.
In general, these practices also mean being healthier. It's a 3-in-1 deal, and how can you say no to that?
The amount of things you can do to save energy are only as limited as your imagination. It just means reworking how you think. Do you really need to throw away that Ziplock bag, or can you reuse it?
Today's tip: Make your own food.

The Art of Petit Point
Originally posted on Past & Present:
The Arts and Crafts Era from the late 1860's to the early 1900's resulted in high-quality creations that relished traditional craftsmanship. Most of these were simple items like furniture; the difference was that they were made through handmade methods instead of being manufactured in a factory.
In the mid 19th century, a group of friends at the University of Oxford dreamed up the movement in response to developing industrialism. The group instead favored Romanticism and the Pre-Raphaelites.
Vintage compact from the Arts and Crafts Era.
This vintage compact, created in the Arts and Crafts Era, used the process of needlepoint called "petit point". Petit point was the kind of method that members of the Arts and Crafts movement probably loved for its close craftsmanship. This method is similar to regular needlepoint, but is actually smaller and finer, though the two terms are often used interchangeably. It's a small stitch…

Best Ever Literacy Survival Tips: 5 Super Practical Ideas for Motivating Kids to Read More Challenging Texts in the Age of CCSS!
by Lori Oczkus
April 2, 2013
How can we motivate our students to reach the CCSS goal of having students "set goals to read their level of books as well as increasingly more difficult fiction and informational texts" (Oczkus, 2012)?
If you think about it, setting such goals for one's reading is what sets apart a "real reader" from someone who only reads what is required in school. A
reader is someone who approaches reading with heated passion, who talks with others about books, seeks out books, compares and devours books for enjoyment and for information, and passes judgment on issues in books (Oczkus, 2012).
Often our schools teach reading but don't necessarily take the time to formally teach students about the "will" to read or how to become avid lifelong readers (Layne, 2009). I work in classrooms every week where we experience the following problems with motivation and reading:
get stuck on one kind of book, such as the Junie B. Jones series or mysteries.
experience difficulty selecting just-right books, and select books that are too difficult or too easy.
are not motivated to read at all.
If our goal is to expand the reading repertoires of our students to include increasingly more difficult fiction and informational texts, then we desperately need some powerful strategies to engage and motivate our students to read more.
Barnes and Monroe (2011) developed some simple guiding principles for struggling readers that apply to any classroom to motivate kids to read. They suggest that we give students choice, share books daily in teacher book talks, encourage students to share books with each other, allow students to sit on Pilates balls and the floor while reading, and offer reading on laptops. The researchers also suggest that we make the time to confer individually with students about their reading.
When I enter a classroom to teach or coach for the first time, I always begin my lesson by asking the students to take out their independent reading books. I quickly circulate around the room, making note of what students are reading and chatting informally about the reasons for their choices. The mix is very telling; for example, books in a fifth grade classroom range from picture books and informational texts to young adult chapter books and magazines. From this quick "survey" about reading, I can easily see evidence of the reading levels and the motivation of the students I am about to teach.
My question to the students is always, "What are you reading next, and why?" Hopefully, the students are challenging themselves to move into a wide variety of texts at a mix of reading levels for different purposes. If you simply have your students keep a list of books they've read that includes dates and maybe a quick, one-sentence summary, a 1-5 score, and reason for the score, this log can be a place to record their reading goals as well. Be sure to be a Super Model (Oczkus, 2012) and share YOUR reading log as well. (Just keep the 50 Shades series off your list!)
Here are some practical and effective student-centered ideas that will help move students into the CCSS goal-setting mode—and ensure that they move forward in their reading levels and book choices,
Life Books
(Oczkus, 2012)
Students select one or two favorite books of their lives to share with the class. These can be picture books from childhood or chapter books. They must give reasons for their choice and explain the significance of the book. I like videotaping students using an inexpensive camera and then posting the quick segments on the class or school website or blog. Ivan, a sixth grader, shared his love of CHARLOTTE'S WEB by E B. White because Charlotte was a hero and it was the first book his dad read to him. Be sure to share your favorite books from your life or childhood and reasons why you love them as well.
Students may stand in a stroll line—two lines facing partners to discuss books and upon cueing students rotate to the next partner. You can also go to Scholastic's
Read Every Day Campaign
to see famous movie stars, television stars, authors, and musicians' lists of favorite books too. Or you could follow what one elementary school did; they posted teachers' childhood favorite book covers in the hallway next to photos of the teachers.
Key to Challenging Texts:
Students see what books others cherish and hear the reasons for reading those books. Share your books too and why some of them include challenging titles. How did those books stretch you?
Book Idol
(Oczkus, 2012)
This is a mock television show complete with three judges each with distinct "personalities" created by the students. For example, one judge might be a skateboarder, one a professor, and another a fancy gentleman or lady with an accent.
The judges sit at a table facing the "audience" and use slates to write scores for the book the class is judging. One student role-plays as an interviewer and each of the judges shares his or her score for the book and distinct reasons for their thinking. The master of ceremonies might also invite the students in the audience to hold up their scores and tell partners reasons and evidence for their thinking. Students may give scores for the overall book, the author's craft, or the character's actions. Nonfiction books may be rated on their text features and treatment of the subject.
After the Book Idol show, encourage students to write a paragraph with evidence as they discuss their views of the book. Videotaping makes this a fun activity to share. The class may partner with a buddy class in another town or state and videoconference to share their show live.
Key to Challenging Texts:
As students discuss a book they've all read, using the Book Idol show format, they reflect more deeply on the content of the book and the accessibility. Use the judges concept to give reasons for selecting new books to read as well. Make challenging texts part of the line up of choices and allow students to select titles to read either as a class or in small groups.
Observation Rubric of Reading Motivation
(Oczkus, 2012)
Here is a
(Oczkus, 2012) that you can use to help you confer with students over their reading habits (adapted from the work of Edmunds & KLBauserman, 2006).
The rubric will help you score student behavior in reading on a scale of 1-4 (4 = exceeds expectations; 3 = meets expectations; 2 = needs assistance; and 1 = struggles). Score your students as you confer with them on the way they select books, how their interests influence their choices, and how characteristics of books guide book selection (genres, size of book, etc.). You may also want to chart how students respond to book referrals.
Key to Challenging Texts:
Use this rubric to observe your students and to motivate them to set goals for reading and accessing more challenging texts.
The 7 Times a Day Read Aloud Challenge
(Oczkus, 2012)
Keep a stack of reading material in a bin on your desk or somewhere you can easily access throughout the day. Assign a monitor to check off each time you read aloud to the class for a total of 7 hits! One of the read aloud sessions should last 15-20 min long. The other six are 1-2 minute "quickies" that might include a poem while students are lining up, an interesting newspaper article as students put their lunches away, or a menu or joke book during a transition time. Discuss purposes for reading each of these.
This is a great way to expose students to tons of reading materials at a variety of levels and to discuss different reasons people read. One teacher even went home and started doing the 7 times a day read aloud with her own children after school until bedtime. The kids keep track and each of the read alouds only takes a minute of plopping on the couch, floor, or even in the driveway in the car. They love it!
Key to Challenging Texts:
You have many opportunities to share interesting challenging texts on a wide range of subjects when you make the 7 Times a Day Reading Challenge part of your schedule.
Summer Book Bags
(Allington & McGill-Franzen, 2003, 2013; Oczkus, 2012) The summer slump rears its ugly head every year when our students from low socioeconomic backgrounds skip out classroom doors only to skip reading all summer long. The result is a loss of as much as three months of reading achievement. Contrast this to the higher socioeconomic neighborhoods where students make three month gains with trips to the library and bookstore ( Allington &McGill-Franzen, 2003).
photopin cc
The difference between the two groups is access to books. The solution is simple: provide 10 to 12 books for students to choose to take home and read over the summer. Note that the key is the students choose their titles to take home. A volunteer or teacher contacts the students who struggle the most by telephone or other method to check on the reading. Researchers found that this $50.00 per student summer program motivates students to read more and significant impact is made on reading achievement.
In one of my project schools we targeted 37 of our intervention students in grades 3-5 by providing them with an array of choices of books to read. It was such a highlight of the year to see them enter the library where we displayed hundreds of books for them to choose from as they filled their summer book bags. The students plopped on the floor of the library to get final teacher approval for their choices and touchingly held onto the collections like they were precious treasures. For some of them, these were the first books they'd ever owned. We collected the books from used book stores, our local library book store, garage sales, and donations.
Key to Challenging Texts:
Allowing students to take books home takes some coordination. If you can't provide Summer Book Bags for all of your students, try to at least target your struggling readers, those who have the most to lose and gain. Make sure you are providing a wide range of books for those choices.
Also, give book talks about the various books and stand by as students select titles. Inspect their final choices to see that they've indeed filled their bags with a mix of on level and more challenging books that they really want to read. Discuss strategies for accessing the more challenging texts that include involving an adult to help read it, to partner read with a sibling, or to use a book on tape or other audio source.

doing to motivate students to read more in your school and classroom? Please share!
