I am originally from the UK and hold the NNEB qualification and include over 20 years of
experience of working with young children and their families in my working resume. In addition
to being the director of Blue House International School I continue to assist families as an Early
Year's Advisor. I am married to Ben Sanosi and together we opened the school for our children,
Ella and Alfie, our curious and creative twins who were born in 2006.
In 2007, I started to research more about the Reggio Emilia Approach and with this investigation came a renewed energy and I was inspired to set up the first Reggio Emilia Inspired School in Singapore with a fully emergent curriculum. As the school grows in size we are thankful that we can now offer the Blue House experience and quality to more families in Singapore.

I am originally from Singapore and when my wife, Shona Sanosi decided to open the school for our children in 2008, I thought I should take a short break from my publishing company to support her with my 'local knowledge'. When the school was smaller in size I was responsible not only for administrative duties but for the maintenance of the building, all skills which I had to learn from the ground up and the children started to refer to me as 'Mr Ben'. Now, with the new responsibility as landlord for plot 4 at the old Turf City, I am still very visible around the school, but I am more involved as a landlord and have employed someone else to fix the leaky taps!!
My name is Michelle Hatfield and I am originally from the UK. I have been working at Blue House since January 2013, initially as a Co-Teacher and since September 2013 as Assistant Director.
My career has progressed over a period of 26 years, employed in the private, voluntary and maintained sectors of the childcare industry. I specialise in supporting children with specific needs, implementing inclusive practice wherever possible. The remainder 18 years was spent managing and finally owning my own private day nursery in Derbyshire, England until 2010, prior to moving overseas.
The last 3 years of my career have been spent in Moscow, as a teacher supporting children in Year 1 and Year 2 (6-7yrs), and in Africa as a project manager setting up new provision to support the local community, of which the majority of children had specific needs. Nurturing and educating children globally has broadened my knowledge and experiences even further, understanding cultural diversity, beliefs and values have been an integral aspect of my journey overseas.
I am passionate about children's development and celebrate the milestones of their individual learning journeys. Providing children with concrete opportunities to become natural explorers with inquisitive minds is a pleasing challenge.
I am an optimistic, approachable person, who embraces change well. I have a sense of humour and am very creative in my interests, enjoying music,art and crafts. I love to cook, but face hefty competition in the kitchen at home as my husband, Jamie, excels in this department.
I anticipate you will reap the benefits, as a family, here at Blue House Nursery and International School and look ahead to opening our doors to new children and their families each year.
Hi everyone! My name is Tammy Fam and I am originally from Malaysia. I have recently relocated to Singapore with my husband and my little boy. It is my honor to be part of the Blue House since September 2014.
Working in the Early Childhood Education field is my true passion. My journey in early years started in 2004. Having successfully developed and managed 3 preschools in Malaysia, I have always been looking for a new challenge in a true international environment in order to realize my objective: Creating an enthusiastic and conducive environment to make learning a happy and memorable journey for children.
I strongly believe that all children are capable individuals, they are risk-takers and problem-solvers. We need to step back and observe and most importantly, we need to trust their decision in how they choose to engage the world, explore, play, discover and learn at their own pace.
Hello, my name is Anna and I was born in Poland. I began my teaching career in 2004 while still completing my Bachelor Degree in Education, however I like to think that my five younger siblings gave me the real schooling in the area of early childhood. I am currently pursuing my Master Degree in Early Childhood Development.
I have been very fortunate to work with many International and Language Schools in Poland, Indonesia, Thailand, and now Singapore. I am thrilled to be part of the Reggio Emilia approach which agrees in a very natural way with young learners' needs to express themselves, explore, as well as interact with the world and people in their lives.
As parents, you are the best advocate of your children's learning and I will be looking forward to working closely with each and every one of you. I am always here, ready to listen and assist you in any way. I am very excited about meeting the most important person in your life, your child.
Hi everyone! I have been a part of the Blue House team since September 2014. I have a BA Honours degree in Education from the University of Roehampton. I trained and worked in the lower Primary Years Programme(PYP) at an IB World School in Malaysia for 5 years before joining Blue House.
I believe children in the early years learn through experiencing the world around them. True learning at this stage takes place through the presence or creation of a learning environment that can successfully arouse student's curiosity and allow children to explore and construct new understanding and meaning to their prior experiences or knowledge.
As an early childhood educator and being a part of a team who will influence and develop amazing minds and create the foundation for future global citizens, I find it a great blessing and opportunity to be able to influence and help children develop the necessary skills and attitudes that would allow them to be independent, lifelong learners. Hence, this is my passion and I take pride in this noble and onerous profession.
I have been a part of the Blue House team since March 2012. I studied for a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. Being originally from Japan, my educational journey in Australia's diverse society has shaped my career direction to fully utilise my multicultural knowledge and experience to its fullest in developing enjoyable and meaningful learning environments for children.
I believe that my role as an educator is to support and facilitate children learning and development for them to become competent and confident lifelong learners who can contribute back to society. When I was studying, I was fascinated by the Reggio Emilia Approach to teaching and wanted to experience implementing it myself. Thus, I am privileged to be able to continue developing my knowledge about this approach and improving myself as a reflective educator with the Blue House families. Singapore is a great place to be exposed to different cultures. I look forward to meeting everyone, sharing my culture and learning about yours too.
Hello, my name is Jazz Mapola! I have been teaching for 11 years now – early young learners from different walks of life, different cultures, different languages. It is exciting to teach early young learners and equally wonderful to learn from all the diversity that the world presents. Truly, to be an international educator is an opportunity to have the ability to touch the future, simply because the possibilities are endless.
I am a certified teacher in the state of Maryland and New Mexico U.S.A. and a licensed teacher in the Philippines. I recently taught at the British American Preschool in Milan, Italy where I taught the Toddler class. Prior to that I was residing in Maryland, U.S.A where I taught pre-kindergarten for 4 years at the 2nd largest school district in the state. Wherein I also held leadership positions and was nominated as Teacher of the Year 2012 for the entire county. Before I left for Maryland, I was a teacher at Discovery Camp Early Learning Center in the Philippines for 3 years, where I taught children of expatriates from different nations and taught in a prestigious Chinese school for 2 years beforehand. My mission vision is to T.E.A.C.H. – Train and Equip All Children for Humanity.
Simply put, the thing that makes me happy at the end of the day is that in one way or another I was able to facilitate wonder and a sense of awe in the eyes of child and perhaps, at the end of the year, instill a life long love of learning as well as a sense of adventure that the world is just waiting to be discovered and explored.
Hello everyone, my name is Ritika. I am a MBA graduate and also I have Level 3 diploma in Child care from U.K
I started my career as an executive in multinational company. I worked there for 4 years. I am also married and blessed with a son then I realised how beautiful this relation is -Nurturing a child is the best job in this world. I have more than 2 years experience as a nursery/ pre school teaching assistant in India as well as in United Kingdom where I role-modelled high standards as a well rounded and successful educator. Teaching is my passion and I enjoy embracing the challenges presented by the uniqueness of children.
I love singing, dancing making art and craft and narrating stories for children. I am an optimist and easy going person. I feel honoured to be a part of blue house international school as I have the opportunity to nurture and educate children globally. In this way I can learn more and enhance my knowledge and experience. During my free time I usually watch children's educational channels with my four and half year old son. I love spending time with my husband and friends and like to visit different counties meeting people from diverse backgrounds.
I am excited to know more about Reggio Emilia approach. I am looking forward to exceling in my career professionally with the team of Blue House International School.
I have been working at Blue House since September 2009 and that has led me to fulfil my passion for the Reggio Emilia Approach. I am from the Philipines and I obtained my Master in Arts in Early Childhood Education at De La Salle University-Manila. I am thoroughly enriched by my collaborations with the children, families and my colleagues in projects, environments and documentation.
I am very interested in pedagogical documentation, 'listening' to children and making meaning from the children's learning experiences. I marvel at children's discoveries and natural inclination to pursue learning.
The opportunity to participate in the study tour to Reggio Emilia, Italy in April 2012 allowed me to reflect deeper on our practices at the Blue House and to further appreciate the principles of working with children that exist in our school.
Hi there, my name is Linda and I am from Singapore. I have been a part of the Blue House team since September 2014.
The joy and excitement of being able to impart my enthusiasm and inspiration to facilitate children's learning and to make learning fun are what I enjoy most. As an educator, I firmly believe in delivering a curriculum that is dynamic and spontaneous, based on children's interests and inquisitive nature. I hope my learning journey with the children of Blue House will take us to greater heights.
Having lived in the UK for the last 25 years, I am now very excited to return home and to work in a Reggio inspired school. Prior to that, I have been the manager of a pre-school, as well as a teacher supporting children between the age of 3 and 4 for the last 9 years. I adore children and am passionate about working with them, after I have had 3 children of my own. As such, I embarked on a learning journey and obtained my degree in Early Years in 2012, with the encouragement and support of my children.
Hello there, my name is Jochelle from Singapore and I have been working at Blue House since June 2013. I am currently studying for my Diploma in Child Psychology now and plan to take my Bachelors degree in a few years.
My passion with children started when I was working in a Japanese Preschool. Interacting with the little ones has always been very interesting to me and I am always impressed by their questions and answers, for example, when a child asked if blue cheese comes from a blue cow! All of that has inspired me to be a better person and to gain more knowledge.
I am honoured and appreciative to be chosen to work in Blue House International while being exposed to Reggio Emilia and working with teachers and children from different parts of the world.
Hi! I am Doli. My family and I migrated from Philippines to Singapore in 2008 and I have been working at Blue House since September 2012.
I brought with me a degree in education and a solid experience in varied teaching environments. I have been passionately marrying the art and science of teaching for 21 years.
My professional journey has included managing a day-care, helping two international schools champion the PYP and I have also worked as a clinician for children with dyslexia whilst I was taking graduate courses in Reading Education. It was in one of those graduate courses that I heard about Reggio Emilia Approach. I have found myself being so drawn to it that Reggio articles constantly appear in my list of professional readings-I embraced the Reggio approach as I do life – with passion and zest.
Off school, I devote time to my family and friends, fitness, writing, literature and volunteer work. I also love camp life and climbing but have not had much of a chance to do those lately. When I do, I hope to add photography in the balance. I look forward to meeting you all.
My name is Eli and I come from Singapore. I have been in the Early Childhood field since 2002 and have been working at Blue House since September 2013. I currently hold my DPT and DPL certificates in Early Childhood Education and I'm hoping to further my studies in the near future.
During my time in the industry, I have had experience working with children of different age groups ranging from toddlers to six year olds in the various settings. I firmly believe that children are competent learners. They amaze us with their bountiful capabilities and I agree with Loris Malaguzzi when he talked about the pleasure of learning, knowing and understanding, how it is an essential feeling. The pleasure of learning is strongly interwoven with the social relations, feeling and emotions that people have.
He talks about the importance of doing 'nothing without joy'. "As partner to the child, the teacher is inside the learning situation" (Hewett, 2001).
I'm an outgoing person and I enjoy spending time in the outdoors. I enjoy capturing moments with my camera, travelling and discovering new places, cultures and languages, reading and scuba diving.
I wish to work within the Reggio Emilia approach to guide and facilitate and work together with the team, children and parents of Blue House International in the years to come.
Hi I am Sheila and I have been working at Blue House since January 2013. I am from the Philippines and have been working in Singapore for four years. Having been born and raised by a preschool teacher, it seems that I am predisposed to working with children.
I finished my Bachelor of Science in Psychology major in Guidance and Counselling and am currently working on a post graduate dissertation in Master of Arts in Reading Education.
As an educator, I thirst for knowledge and experience in various approaches to learning which has led me to be in a number of schools with different approaches and teaching methodologies. In my ten years of working with children, I have realised that there is no such thing as 'one size fits all' in education. Every child is unique and special in their own ways. Everyone has different learning needs and a diverse way of acquiring knowledge which I feel that a Reggio Emilia inspired school is be able to address. In my class, I see to it that children are 'SMAP' - Smart and Active Participants of the learning process, and this is what I see every day in the children at Blue House.
Hi, my name is Nidhi and I joined Blue House in September 2014.
I finished my Bachelors in Education in 2002 and have been teaching for 8 years in various schools in India and UK since then. I am really passionate about teaching. I believe that 'happy teachers make happy children'. I believe that instead of guiding children in their learning journey we should join them in the journey and make new discoveries together. We should give the children an opportunity to discover the world in their own special way at their own pace as every child sees things differently with their own magic camera..
I moved to Singapore from the UK in April 2014 with my husband and my 4 year old daughter. We are feeling settled here now and are enjoying all that Singapore has to offer. Great to be here and more so at the Blue House.
I am a global citizen with Anglo-Egyptian ancestry. In the last 35 years, I have lived in Egypt, Kuwait, England, Scotland and Norway and have recently moved to Singapore from Cairo. I have a PGCE teaching certificate.
Prior to teaching, I have gained experience in the fields of communications, media and publishing, holistic health and development. I have a bachelor's degree from The American University in Cairo in Journalism and Mass Communications with a minor in Psychology, and obtained an MA from The University of Bedfordshire, UK, with a degree in Intercultural Communications. I have a huge passion for travel and meeting people from all walks of life.
As a teacher, I have worked with children for eight years in both Cairo and Norway. For the last three I taught in the American division of a local school in Cairo with children aged from 5 to 6 and 8 to 9. Subjects taught ranged from language arts and numeracy to science, social studies and health.
With an ever-inquiring mindset, an attribute which has lured me into extensive travel, my teaching philosophy rotates around answering a question with a question. "What do you think?" Naturally, I believe children need to learn some basic worldly facts, but I also believe they have the answers within and can find those answers independently. I am also very intuitive, which compliments my response in nurturing.
I am a musician, guitar player, drummer and singer and love to incorporate music and facilitate my teaching practice. I have also performed live on stage, been part of a band, recorded a demo and a music video, which was aired on Mazzika, the Middle East's equivalent to MTV. I also have a great love for yoga and try to maintain a regular practice.
I am honoured to have been given the opportunity to join the Blue House team and I am very much looking forward to delving deeper into the Reggio Emilia approach in the next part of my teaching career whilst continuing to both teach and learn from the children as I help facilitate their learning process.
Hi, my name is Gemma and I am from Norwich in the UK. I started my journey at Blue House in September 2013. I have an Honours degree in English Literature and Psychology from the University of East Anglia. I also hold a post graduate certificate of education (PGCE) where I specialised in teaching the Early Years. For the past three years I have been teaching 3 -5 year olds in a Suffolk school.
I am a passionate and dedicated teacher who believes that children should have a creative, sensory and play-based curriculum. I love observing the ways in which children play and discover things for themselves and seeing how they flourish throughout the academic year. It is wonderful to get to know a group of children so intimately that you understand their emotions and personalities. Teaching is such a rewarding and satisfying vocation; I am happy to be making a difference to children's lives.
I am really excited to live in Singapore and immerse myself in a new culture. I love to travel and am looking forward to exploring Asia with my partner, Haroun. I also love cooking and trying new food, meeting new people, reading, going to the cinema and listening to music.
I feel extremely honoured to be part of the Blue House family and I look forward to meeting everyone in the community.
Hello! My name is Stephanie and I'm from the Philippines. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Communication Arts from the University of Santo Tomas, Manila, and a Master's in Teaching in the Early Grades from the University of the Philippines, Diliman. I worked for seven years as a teacher for a Multiple Intelligences-inspired and play-based preschool in Manila before joining Blue House International this year.
In the past decade, I have worn and juggled the "hats" of being a graduate student, a researcher, and a preschool teacher. But among these roles, I still find teaching young children to be the most fulfilling. The sense of wonder and enthusiasm for discovery exhibited by the children, and the multi-faceted personalities they bring to school continue to fascinate and inspire me.
As a teacher, I believe in the importance of nurturing a passion for learning. The ability to learn—which encompasses both thinking and feeling—is what makes us humans. Early childhood is a period in life that especially manifests this capacity. It is a critical time of development that requires a careful balance of what the educational philosopher Pestalozzi referred to as the "heart", the "head", and the "hand". Learning requires consideration of these three aspects, and I am excited to be part of a school program that echoes these principles.
Hello! My name is Ekta Taneja and I have been working at Blue House since May 2013. I gained a Bachelors and Masters in Human Development at University of Delhi, India. As an educator and advocator in the Early childhood profession for over 8years, I have come to understand the profound importance of quality early learning experiences and its effect on a young child's development. I have been deeply influenced by the philosophies of Reggio Emilia and believe play is at the heart of all learning. Being an educator at Blue House is such an enriching journey, and great blessing.
I am committed to cultivating relationships based on respect, acknowledgment, the individual needs of the child and the classroom as a community. It is my hope to foster a sense of connectedness and belonging in the group, and to encourage self-awareness, autonomy, and confidence. In my view, children are capable learners, inquisitive thinkers, and fearless experimentalists.
Outside of the classroom I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, backpacking, travelling and decorating my apartment.
Hello everyone, my name is Hannah and I am from the UK. I have been teaching at Blue House since September 2013. After completing a BA Honours English Literature degree at the University of Exeter, I studied a Postgraduate Certificate in Education. For the past three years I have thoroughly enjoyed working as a Reception class teacher, exploring and discovering through exciting projects with children aged 4-5.
I am passionate about children's literature and the teaching of early literacy skills. In my most recent post I was responsible for co-ordinating the teaching of reading and writing for children aged 4-7. I also have a particular interest in the teaching of early mathematics, and have been involved in a two year research project focused on problem solving, reasoning and numeracy in the Early Years.
I believe learning should be playful, practical and purposeful, and am delighted to have the opportunity to work within the Reggio Emilia approach. I strongly relate to Loris Malaguzzi's understanding that "Our task, regarding creativity, is to help children climb their own mountains, as high as possible." I enjoy working with the children, parents and staff within the Blue House community to achieve this.
Hi everyone, my name is Amy and I am from China. I have been a part of the Blue House team since September 2014.
I have a Diploma in Early Childhood Care and Education from KLC Singapore. I have been working in the early childhood field since 2009 in both local and international settings.
I like to be around children and I can teach the children to sing and speak Mandarin in a fun way. Mandarin can be a difficult language to master, so I will use handicrafts, games and even role play to enhance their interest in learning Mandarin. I also teach them how to write simple Chinese characters.
Hello, my name is Ais and I have been working in the early childhood field since 2007 in both local and international settings.
I started work at Blue House in 2010 and since then my interest and experience of the Reggio Emilia approach to teaching has grown. I continue to be intrigued by the approach and how children respond to the wonder of open ended experiences. In 2012, I was promoted to Co-manager of the Infant and Toddler Atelier at Blue House.
I believe in the importance of education starting from the early years and it is a joy to contribute to every child's learning journey and every experience adds to my own learning too. I am very passionate and always keen to take my experience to the next level. In July 2014, I took the role of Manager in the Atelier.
In my spare time I enjoy socialising, extreme sports, motorbikes, travel and arranging birthday parties for both adults and children.
Hi I'm Kathy and I have been working at Blue House since March 2012.
I started as an assistant teacher, was promoted to co-teacher-in-training and now am an assistant manager in infant and toddler atelier. The experience has helped me gain a more in-depth understanding of early childhood and Reggio Emilia philosophy. I am originally from the Philippines, a mother of two and I graduated from the Far Eastern University with a degree of Bachelor of Science major in Psychology. I also studied extra units in Education to complete my teaching license. Working with Pre-school children has given me the drive to further my studies and in June 2013 I began my Masters in Early Childhood development. I am very blessed and proud to be part of the Blue House International family.
I'm a fun loving person and enjoy spending time at the beach and exploring new places. I am very much an 'outdoor' person.
Hello, my name is Diana and I am from Singapore.
I joined Blue House International in May 2012 as an Admin Assistant & Discover Co-ordinator and in July 2013 I happily added marketing assistant and assistant office manager to my job scope. I am enjoying the new challenge and I am sure most of you will know me as the lady who handles all the enquiries for our numerous Discover Programmes at Blue House! In April 2014, I was promoted to Office Manager of Blue House.
I have been working in the administrative line in both medical and educational sector for over 8 years and hold a Certificate in Office Skills.
I am a mother to my 3 overactive boys aged 8, 7 and 3 years. I enjoy reading and cooking but my passion is dancing, to which I hope to be doing again once I have more time on my hands.

Patriots WR Wes Welker, all banged up, says he feels "all right" - 0 Comments
After the Steelers game, it was his neck. After the Giants, his ribs. After beating the Jets, the injury was to his knee.
Yup, Wes Welker has been banged up recently, as teams have keyed on him. There's no indication that Welker will miss the Monday Night Football game against the Chiefs, but it's worth wondering... how does he feel?
"I feel all right," Welker said. "I think everybody goes through different things through the season, and you just got to manage them and get ready the best you can."

So I am going to start a new job in a couple of weeks and need to figure out who is going to watch my kids. I have an Oct '11 (almost 2) dd and a March '13 dd. I got an amazing part-time schedule of 10-3 Mon-Thurs, place is 45 min. away so I realistically need childcare from 9-4 (4 days). I cannot afford a daycare center and I really didn't like the idea too much anyways of my ydd being around so many other babies etc.
I was hoping to find a babysitter who would come to my home, but I am having a hard time finding someone. I had a woman call me who said she has a 14 month old of her own and would be willing to take my 2 children for $10/hour. I would have to drop them off at her house though. Anyone do something like this, think it's a good idea?

Ten Cent Nickel Pattern
Judd-647, PR64
Design. The obverse features the almost identical design used on large cents from 1843 to 1857, while the reverse is similar to the Coronet large cent except the wreath is smaller and open, and TEN CENTS is in the center of the wreath. Struck in nickel with a plain edge.
Commentary. Judd-647 and Judd-648 are clearly produced from two different obverse dies. The obverse of Judd-647 has the left base of the 1 over the left center of a dentil, the curl point about over the right edge of the first 8, and the final 8 clearly recut. The obverse of Judd-648 has the left base of the 1 over the right center of a dentil, the curl point between the inner and outer right curves of the 8, and the 86 minutely recut. Judd-648 is also a blundered obverse die, with the tops of stray digits visible in the border below the 86. The reverse dies are the same on both Judd numbers, with the top of a stray A midway between the A and M.

No money!! No money!!
0 Hello, All:
I will be starting Clinicals at Midlands Tech this upcoming January '09, and I do not have enough money to buy every book and piece of equipment on my list.
Could someone please tell me, off of the NUR101 booklist, which books I will be using as soon as the class starts??? I am going to have to buy my supplies and books over the first 2 months as my work checks come in and I do not have $800-$1,000 to put down on day one.
Also, do I need to get a uniform now, or is that something that can wait a couple of weeks or so?
Lastly, can anyone give me an idea of what exactly in done in NUR101, and what supplies besides the obvious notebooks, notecards, pens, etc. that I will need on the first day of class?
Also, any study and organizational tips would be appreciated.

I went to USC and almost all of the textbooks were available for checkout in the library. I only bought maybe 3. Seems like MTC has just white scrubs or dress with an apron or tabbard-right?0Dec 26, '08 by P_RN Senior ModeratorI looked at the MTC web page and apparently you have to order the uniform through them and it takes 6 weeks. Call them Monday and see what they can do.
I wish I had one to give you but I have a blue set from Columbia Hospital, a yellow set from Carolina and then a green set from Carolina. Bet there would be someone who would sell or lend you one.0Dec 27, '08 by walkthelineP_RN, thanks for your replies. Right now, I am more interested in getting the books. Thanks for the info on the library books.1Dec 29, '08 by P_RN Senior Moderatorhttp://allnurses.com/nursing-student-assistance/
I'm not sure if any MTC students come here but look for posts by Daytonite. She offers all kinds of help and is very open to questions.0Jan 6, '09 by YankeeLady25Hello and Congrats! I graduated MTC may 2007 and yes...you will need all the books. At least I did. The first semester you definetly need to get the main book- which I believe is the med-surg book, and then you will need the skill book. The good thing is you will use your med-surg book throughout the program so don't sell it!! I still have mine and I go back to it sometimes to look things up. You can probably go to amazon or somewhere online and buy it cheaper if it is not a brand new edition. I actually was looking to get rid of my uniform I still have it in my closet...I think it is a small. But you really only need the top, you can get pretty much any kind of white pants- the bookstores uniforms are pretty expensive, I usually get mine on the internet. Hope this helps. You are also going to have to buy the skills packet its a bag of stuff you need for lab I think its like 30 bucks you have to have that the first week I think depending on who you have they can be pretty strict.
Good Luck!0Jan 7, '09 by walkthelineThanks so much, YankeeLady25!! It figures that the medsurg book is THE most expensive one out there!! At least I have an idea of what I need to get now. I think the reference books like the medical dictionary, etc. I can use in the library until I get my own.
Thanks alot!!0Jan 18, '09 by pawashrntry looking on amazon.com for books or go to the school and talk to present students and see if they are willing to sell. once you leave school you rarely use school books an longer, don't buy new.save your money for a good time after graduation you deserve it

Re: I am getting so tired of pests online
That's the thing though... People like that really sap the fun out of it. Need to buy or sell, nope. Need to chat with people hmph. Hell that's the sort of thing that would get people kicked off almost any IRC server out there; as mods would seldom tollerate it to the degree that it totally disrupsts and destroys any possiblility of chat. Or they'd send people over to their own private channel and tell the to go do it there.
I guess what makes it all worse, is in the midst of all this (and this gets way beyond the worst I ever saw in Barrens chat while seeing horde); is all around this time, you know, I will never know if that random level 2 that first looked to be a spam bot (as I heard nothing before a random party invite), and then perhaps a begger? might or might not have been Gilthanas trying to get back together again.
If it was, then I see absolutely nothing even remotely fair in being expected to recognize some lvl 2 character, just created "as me". It would suggest he's operating under the impression we're seeing each other "face to face", and can not even remotely fathom the difference between that vs. comming up to friends on some random character. Then again, maybe something was said, though nothing caught my eye with the rather loose attention I tend to pay attention to chat in town; because I'm normally tuneing this sort of thing (until it gets as bad as the murloc bit which becomes impossible to ignore anymore) out. Perhaps in the midst of trade chat scrolling constantly, auctioneer advanced putting 5 line messages on my screen as I checked prices (full scans of AH broaken on the version I have for 2.3, though might have since been fixed), and with every auction posted, I might have missed something.
But he'll neither no, nor accept any of this. Because if that happened, he has it so firmly rooted in mind "I know otherwise, because I recognize you"; that this is somehow held as some
standard of truth, for which anything to the contrary (while discounting both the limits of human knowledge and human perception) that might be said in an encounter people don't even known is going on, would be considered lies. But that's the thing in all this, there is no real way to know; but as things were left it is as if the expectation is "you have to" regardless of can or cannot under the circumstances...
So now with this, and other friends having realm transfered, gone to private services (a few are still left, but most are gone), one by one; it seems at times that the a**holes are the only people who ever have any form of staying power and stick around. But they're not the sorts which make it in the least bit fun. And the same goes for that person who kept /s and /yell their constant begging for money, then getting to me wouldn't take no for an answer; just like some spoiled little brat.
So not tellign them this, but rather to just go out and make some money (in some cases even having told some of these people how to make some); it can range from "you're such a meanie, I hate you You won't give me what I want, wah, wah, wah" to this one guy who keeps going on about how he can't do anything. And when I finally tell him that's because he's a lazy bum who refuses to get off his butt and do something", he's like "you don't talk to people like that. You're repoted to the GM".
And of course, whatever happened, Blizzard never contacted me. After the person kept demanding money through /s and /yell many dozens of times, telling the person they're being a lazy bum is probably one of the lest harsh things someone could have said, and probably what others would be thinking.
Hell this goes beyond just begging for money at times, and comes down to many people pretty much demanding everyone does everything for them, lives their life, takes charge of everything (hell a topic on this could go right into the political forum, as many leeches in society are just like this). And if someone does, instead of being grateful, they can walk around with a sense of entitlement, as if it's their due. And so yes, in general I don't tend to want to associate much with these sorts of people.
And yet in the midst of all of this; if Gilthanas should have come up as one among many, inadvertantly stepping into the role of one of these people; instead of recognizing that, I guess he assumes that my not jumping at the chance has to be personal, or about him; rather then it being I just don't want to be a doormat, putting up with this sort of thing I get from one such random person, after another. And yet no person in their right mind would put up with this stuff continually. But now I'm supposed to, so he might not take it the wrong way? I'm sorry, I can't; and that really is not personal, however it might be taken when someone won't just say "oh hey,
it's me

MSI GeForce GTX 670 Reference and OC Edition Compared ' Overclocked Variants based
There's been slight bit of confusion in the article! The Blue PCB GTX 670 is the Gigabyte OC while the other one is MSI's Reference GTX 670 featuring Factory Overclock.
MSI's Reference and Overclocked version of the GTX 670 graphics card have been compared by a forum member at
. While we already know that the reference models are based on a much shorter PCB compared to the GTX 680, the overclocked versions however are based on the reference GTX 680 PCB.
The GTX 670 Core 'GK104-325-A2â?³ features the same specifications and are powered by a 4 Phase VRM on both PCB's though this could mean that additional power is required to run the overclocked versions which may be the reason for GPU vendors aiming for 680 designed reference PCBs on those variants. Or there could be a huge left over of 680 PCBs since the GPU was already facing shortages by TSMC so vendors opted to use the extra boards for the overclocked 670 models.
We have already seen couple of GTX 670 models based on the 680 PCB which include the following:
Inno3D iChill GTX 670 Ice Dragon
Gigabyte GTX 670 OC
The GeForce GTX 670 would be officially launched tomorrow for an MSRP of $399 and $409 for overclocked variants. You can check out comparison shots of MSI's reference and overclocked variants below:

Cleveland Browns running back Trent Richardson has been named in a civil lawsuit alleging verbal and physical abuse, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The lawsuit, filed on Friday in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court in Cleveland, names Richardson, his girlfriend, Sevina Fatu, and two other unidentified women. The complaint also names Richardson's brother, Terrell.The lawsuit is being brought by two Cleveland-area women, Krystal Jones and Kathleen Hunter, who claim that the incident occurred on Dec. 9, 2012, following a night out at the Rumors nightclub. After celebrating a Cleveland Browns victory at the nightclub, Jones and Hunter were allegedly invited to continue the celebration in the early morning hours at Richardson's home in Columbia Station. After arriving, the two inquired as to the whereabouts of Trent's brother Terrell Richardson, who the complaint states "had a relationship" during 2012 with Jones. The two women were asked to leave. After they did so, according ...

Hopkins Pulse - In the Wings: A Game Changer for Lung Transplantation
In the Wings: A Game Changer for Lung Transplantation
Date: June 15, 2013
Selecting "organ donor" on your driver's license application is still a long way off from transplantation. Even after an organ donor dies and the organs become available, they must still meet the criteria for acceptance. And, in the case of lung donations, only 40 percent pass muster.
The rest are discarded, says cardiothoracic transplant surgeon Ashish Shah, usually based more on assumption than on quantifiable proof—how the lungs look, how stiff they are or how easily they exchange gas, for instance. But in some cases, Shah says, those lungs could actually be viable.
Now, he continues, a procedure called ex vivo perfusion is giving transplant surgeons a chance to determine whether those potentially wasted lungs could actually be put to use. Meanwhile, Shah and his colleagues are studying whether the procedure holds other lung-saving and lifesaving opportunities—possibilities they believe could even negate surgery in some cases.
In the procedure, the lungs are removed from the donor body (hence the term ex vivo) and connected to a special system—a circuit, Shah calls it—that reanimates the lungs by refilling the tissues with blood (perfusion) to see how they respond and whether they improve over the course of time, usually about two hours. The circuit includes a ventilator, a pump and an oxygenator, and temperature-regulating components. "In practice," Shah says, "we can take those rejected organs, put them on a circuit, and some percentage of them will turn out to be usable."
For now, ex vivo perfusion is clinically available only in parts of Europe and Canada. However, clinical trials in the United States have proven that the procedure is successful, and FDA approval is pending. If it is granted, Shah says, the possibilities created by ex vivo perfusion dramatically expand. In some cases, the procedure could negate transplantation altogether. For instance, he explains, some therapeutics could heal an injured lung, but would be toxic to other parts of the body. But if the lungs could be removed, those drugs could be used to promote healing without placing other organs at risk. Then the lungs could be placed back inside the patients, who in some cases could be safely kept on a ventilator for several days or up to a week, while physicians work to repair their lungs.
Once FDA approval comes through, ex vivo perfusion will only be allowed for assessing lungs for transplantation, at least for the time being. "But we're keeping an eye on the future potential of repairing people's lungs," Shah says, "so that maybe they won't need transplanted lungs at all."
