Anyone have anything planned for these school/christmas holidays yet? I need ideas lol.
Posted 28 November 2012 - 10:35 PM
no one? how very boring you all are
Posted 28 November 2012 - 10:44 PM
I do have plans, but I don't know if it will help you.
We have booked a house for 10 nights at Moreton Island with friends. I CAN NOT wait!
Reasons why I can not wait:
1) Ten days of sun (I hope), sand, water, and relaxation!
2) Having a beer or two or three at lunch, on the beach, and being able to walk home.
3) The possibility of having a post-beer, post-lunch nana-nap
4) My beautiful family all together
5) Hanging out with my awesome friends for 10 days
Reasons this may not help you:
1) I don't know where you live
2) You will need a 4WD and I don't know if you have one
3) I'm fairly sure the accommodation is booked out
Posted 29 November 2012 - 09:29 AM
We're not going anywhere.
The children might do a couple of days of Kidz n Sport in January, but otherwise, we are just looking forward to not having to be somewhere.
Posted 29 November 2012 - 09:35 AM
Not going anywhere!
We live on the beach so it's kind of silly to go and spend a crap load of money to rent a house at another beach.
We will have a house full of visitors though - which I'm looking forward to.
Also, pretty much all the adults in our street have about two weeks off over Christmas/New Year which means lots of beach parties, bonfire nights, street cricket, impromptu barbecues, the odd glass of wine/cocktail that starts at lunchtime that stretches through until dinner when we start scrambling for take away menus etc.
Oh and a big Christmas Eve street party.
My favourite time of the year to be at home!
Posted 29 November 2012 - 09:47 AM
DP has a week off so more than likely a day at rockingham beach and freo markets.
I would love to take DD for a picnic at arulan (spelling?)
Posted 29 November 2012 - 04:40 PM
We will be in Esperance in Jan .
Nothing else planned.
Posted 29 November 2012 - 05:16 PM
none of you are any help lol. Though I do like the idea of a little picnic with the kids.
Posted 29 November 2012 - 07:57 PM
Hiding from the in-laws
DH has told them we are going away for Christmas. Truth of the matter is, we're staying at home and we don't even know yet whether DH has any time off or whether he has to be at the mine as part of the skeleton crew over the break.
I'm planning on taking the kids on a 3 day trip to Kalgoorlie so they can see where Daddy is 1/3 of their lives.
Other than that ... the occasional trip to aqua jetty, playing in parks, pj days at home etc
Posted 29 November 2012 - 10:43 PM
Ky you must be close to me if you are near the aqua jetty, what parks do you find good in the area? I like fantasy park but am hoping I can find some within walking distance for some of them.
Posted 30 November 2012 - 02:39 AM
I'm in Port Kennedy.
We're going to check out City Park in Rockingham, we love Fantasy Park, we love the Quarry Adventure Park in Mandurah, we love riding our bikes/scooters (me walking) along the Port Kennedy foreshore from Bayeaux Ave to the park at the southern end - other than that, the kids are actually more than happy to play on some of the more "boring" playgrounds dotted around the suburb!
Of course, the Rocky foreshore and Mandurah foreshore are favourites as well.
Posted 30 November 2012 - 12:36 PM
the Quarry Adventure Park is awesome isn't it? The kids has a blast when we went there last. I am hoping Warnbro Library will be running some things again like they were last holidays.
Posted 30 November 2012 - 06:49 PM
I haven't been to anything at the library - I really should check it out! We go to borrow books after school sometimes but have never thought to see if anything is on there ...
Posted 30 November 2012 - 09:42 PM
We do story time there most weeks (depending on appointments, sick children etc lol), last holidays they had scitech there (was too old for my kids though), and we went to a bed time stories thing where the kids were all given hot chocolates and a biscuit and sat down together to read some stories.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 12:02 PM
We are staying home, everything is too expensive and busy over the Christmas period. We live near the beach so I don't really have any desire for a beach holiday. We are going to Hong Kong on 16 January but that is when the off-peak travel period starts.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 12:07 PM
Hubby works away so we will probably be sitting around the pool for the majority of summer, and down at Preston beach or Tim's thickett fishing and swimming for the rest of the time. In between golf of course lol.
Posted 04 December 2012 - 03:11 PM
This is my first lot of school hoildays while down in Rockingham but so far my list is
-"trek" up to Subi some weekends and listen to their live music weekend sessions. We have been going for a few summers and it's well worth going along with a packed dinner.
- The nature reserve place on safety bay road has a movie under the stars Sat nights, so we are going to check those out to.
- We boat, so we are planning to adventure to penguin island. Pretty sure they run trips over, might make for a good day.
- I have been saving all our boxes, containers etc so we plan to make a mega robot in the holidays to ;p because that's just soooo cool when you have 3 boys
- and finally,,,, i think i will be forced to camp these holidays.
Forgot to ad, the local library said they may be doing a tee shirt decorating day, a small petting farm and something else which i cant remember, but it will be up on their website when the days are confirmed.

Abdullah finished top with 44.9 percent, followed by Ghani with 31.5 percent, the Independent Election Commission (IEC) said. Zalmay Rassoul was a distant third with 11.5 percent.
"This is a preliminary outcome and will now go to the Independent Election Complaints Commission and they will work on this. As soon as they share their findings with us we will also announce it," IEC chairman Ahmad Yousuf Nuristani told a news conference in Kabul.
The final result will not be known until May 14, as authorities investigate up to half a million votes suspected of being fraudulent. And even if they are counted, it is highly unlikely they would lift Abdullah over 50 percent.
"I think we are prepared and if it goes to second round yes we think it is doable and we have a tentative schedule of June 7 to start the second round," Nuristani said.
Hamid Karzai was constitutionally bound to step down as president after more than 12 years in power, at a time when Afghanistan readies to stand on its own feet as most foreign troops prepare to leave the country by the end of the year.

Product Information
Panda Security for Business v4.05
July 01, 2010
Panda SecurityProduct:
$50 per user for one year (five-25 seats)
- Features:
- Ease of Use:
- Performance:
- Documentation:
- Support:
- Value for Money:
- Overall Rating:
- Strengths: Lots of features and extensive support for different operating systems and devices.
- Weaknesses: No remotely accessible web console. The Malware Radar feature requires another agent in addition to the core product agent.
- Verdict: Overall, a fairly solid product offering that will fit the needs of most organizations.
Panda Security for Business is a software-based solution which offers endpoint security protection for desktops and servers. The solution is packaged as a centralized console, which manages configuration and deployment of client agents. The centralized console can be installed on virtually any Windows-based host, while the client agents can be deployed to protect a wide range of host operating systems, including Linux, Mac, Windows and mobile devices.
Installation of the administrative console was simple. The interface itself is fairly easy to navigate and all the agents are managed using policy inheritance via nested folders. This is an easy way to visualize the different groups and policy requirements within an organization.
Deployment of the agent was also easy, although it requires two steps: a communications agent and then the actual client agent itself. Both of these appear as separate system tray icons on the client machine. There are also lots of administrative features - such as reporting, notifications and others - although we would have preferred if the administrative console was web-based instead of a locally installed management application. This may not be much of a hassle for some organizations.
The endpoint protection features are abundant. The solution provides malware protection, a client firewall, application control, host-based IPS, removable media protection and integration with Cisco NAC. Panda also helps protect its customers with an additional protection mechanism called Malware Radar, an on-demand auditing service for an added layer of proactive protection. While it is included with the product, it's a separate agent install.
Although the added protection would be nice, it may not be worth having to manage two separate agents in most environments. During our testing, we encountered an intrusion detection alert. This turned out to be a false positive. The prompt wasn't very informative, so it took some time and effort to determine the cause and find what policy item we needed to deactivate.
Documentation for the product is superb. The help files include examples of many different subject areas and how users might manage the product.
Basic, no-cost, eight-hours-a-day/five-days-a-week support is included and is offered via phone and email. No additional support packages are offered. The Panda Security website includes a support section, FAQ and knowledge base.

Divorce / Separation Lawyer
There are missings facts here. School districts would not let her register them each year without a custody and/or guardianship order. Also she could not get their social security checks. You will need to go in person and consult with a local family law attorney.
IF YOU FOUND THIS ANSWER "Helpful" or " The Best Answer" YOU CAN THANK ATTORNEY RADDATZ BY MARKING IT SO because Avvo awards the attorney points. MS. RADDATZ is donating her time and talent by answering questions to help those in need of legal information. This is NOT a consultation and in no way creates an attorney-client relationship. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS PERSONALLY CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN YOUR LOCAL AREA who has specific expertise in the area of law you are asking about.
Divorce / Separation Lawyer
Consult with a local attorney and give him or her all the facts.
Divorce / Separation Lawyer
They're your kids. Have an attorney contact the police. There is no need for a court order based on the facts you stated.
Divorce / Separation Lawyer
Forget the police. If there is no court order granting the aunt guardianship. go get your children. Your issues has little if anything to do with the school district in which they are enrolled. You really need to seek legal advice ASAP.

Topic: Propagation, Shrubs, Trees
Title: Tx Mt. Laurel and Mex. Buckeye seed propagation in drought
Answered by: Guy Thompson
QUESTION:I live in the Hill Country near New Braunfels. Since I am only at my house in July and August, I would like to plant both Texas Mountain Laurel and Mexican Buckeye from the seeds harvested from mother plants on my property at that time. Am I correct in assuming that I must scarify and then soak the seeds of both plants for about a day before planting?
Mr. Smarty Plants would not recommend that you soak your Sophora secundiflora (Texas mountain laurel) and Ungnadia speciosa (Mexican buckeye) seeds as you propose. Fracturing the seed coat is necessary with Texas mountain laurel, but Mexican buckeye germinates without such treatment. Germination is initiated in Texas mountain laurel only when water enters the fractured seed coat. If you will not be on hand to tend seedlings during the heat and often drought in September the plants may well expire. I suggest that you scarify the seeds and plant them where you wish but leave it to the fall rains to provide the moisture needed to hasten germination. By that time cooler weather will protect the young plants from drying out.
If you have not scarified hard-coated seeds before check out this web site. I recommend the use of a file if you have only a few seeds, sandpaper for a few dozens, and perhaps sulphuric acid for a bucketfull. Beware, sulphuric acid can cause serious burns!

"Both sides agreed that Obama send a letter ... assuring the president and the people of Afghanistan that the right to enter into Afghan homes by U.S. forces and the extraordinary circumstances will not be misused," Faizi told reporters.
A major sticking point that could scuttle the agreement says U.S. forces staying in Afghanistan will not be tried in local courts for any crimes they commit.
Spanta told lawmakers if the U.S. doesn't get jurisdiction over its soldiers and civilian personnel, it won't sign the agreement, and it won't leave any U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan when international combat troops withdraw at the end of 2014.
Divisions run deep in Afghanistan over conceding the right to prosecute U.S. soldiers for crimes committed in the country.
Afghans are still angry over several incidents involving international troops, including the 2012 accidental burning of hundreds of copies of the Quran; a shooting spree that year by a U.S. soldier in southern Afghanistan that killed 16 people, mostly women and children; and the unintentional deaths of civilians by wayward bombs.
While Afghans may be divided over the agreement, they are also pragmatic and know they need international forces in the country, said Kabul University professor Hamidullah Faruqi.
"They will guarantee our stability. They will show to our neighbors that Afghans are not alone, and the financial aid that will come along with this agreement will benefit Afghans, and Afghans know this," he said.
Pashtun, from southern Kandahar, where a Taliban insurgency flourishes, said Washington is right to demand jurisdiction over its troops. "Our justice system is still under construction ... Even Afghans don't trust it yet," he told the AP in a telephone interview.
Pashtun said the government "is so weak" that it hasn't been able to arrest a southern warlord accused of killing 117 civilians.
The Bilateral Security Agreement is a sweeping document that incorporates the usual Status of Forces Protection Agreement, which the United States signs with every country where its troops are stationed. The document covers everything from taxation and customs duties to a promise to protect Afghanistan from hostile action.
The Afghan government on Tuesday declared a six-day public holiday to tighten security during a national conference that will vote on a draft agreement allowing U.S. troops to stay in the nation after 2014.
Urgent: Do You Approve Or Disapprove of President Obama's Job Performance? Vote Now in Urgent Poll
The conference, known as the Loya Jirga, will begin Nov. 21 in Kabul and bring together 3,000 Afghan tribal, political and intellectual leaders. The security agreement with the United States will go to both houses of the Afghan parliament for approval if it is passed by the Loya Jirga, President Hamid Karzai said Nov. 16.
The declaration of the holiday comes three days after a Taliban suicide car bomb near the venue for the Loya Jirga killed 13 people and wounded dozens more.
"The Taliban attack will not affect the meeting, but our meeting will certainly affect them," Jawed Munadi, a delegate to the Loya Jirga, said in an interview. "Our debates are based on how to prevent such attacks and maintain security in Afghanistan through the U.S. and Afghan agreement."

Survivors were walking skeletons, besieged by Indians, and reduced to eating snakes, dogs and one another.

Advocates for victims of sexual assault and rape have ample reason to be impressed with the progress being made in how these deplorable crimes are handled in Virginia.

Virginia Republicans missed an opportunity to show the nation how a smart state provides coverage for the needy when they rebuffed a proposal called Marketplace Virginia. Unlike other states that have expanded Medicaid the old-fashioned way, Marketplace Virginia embraced — as its name implied — a more market-oriented approach popularized by Rep. Paul Ryan, a conservative superstar.
Washington Post Editorial
EVEN BEFORE the violence a year ago in Ferguson, Mo., after the police killing of Michael Brown, many law enforcement agencies across the country responded to incidents involving the use of deadly force by proactively releasing dashcam, body-camera and other video footage when it existed. The idea, as a top police official told The Post after video of a 12-year-old boy killed by a rookie patrol officer in Cleveland was released days after the incident in November, is "in the spirit of being open and fair with our community."

Frederick Douglass, the abolitionist and statesman, once said: "It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men."

The prospect of an extra election in 2016 for the House of Delegates is like fantasy baseball: an alternate reality that vaguely tracks the real thing. That it would be held in a presidential year energizes Democrats and alarms Republicans. The heavier turnout would favor Democrats, whose strength peaks in statewide elections, possibly creating a coattail effect that could loosen the GOP grip on the House. This assumes Hillary Clinton has coattails. The latest polling shows her stumbling in battleground Virginia to several top-tier Republicans.
By NORMAN LEAHY AND PAUL GOLDMAN, Published in the Washington Post
Does Hillary Clinton have a serious 2016 image problem? At a comparable stage in the 2000 presidential election cycle, the polls said George W. Bush would beat Al Gore in a landslide. On Election Day, roughly a year and a half later, the Texan lost the national popular vote but won the White House after a bitterly divided Supreme Court weeks later declared him the winner in Florida.

Lovely site - interesting products and good quality.
I changed my order a couple of times and added things and removed other items from the order. This process was quick and easy.
Excellent service, very fast and all items were wrapped really well. I took them as hand luggage to Morocco as a gift and they were still completely intact.
Although one item was out of stock and bother found to be damaged, they responded immediately to fix the problem and offered store credit (without asking) as an apology.
Always informative when products are delayed.
Service was great and turn around time wonderful
The package arrived very quickly and I was so happy that you shipped to Australia!
Amara provides a great service. Items well packaged and very quick delivery. Product selection is excellent.
I was a bit disappointed to find that some items were not "Packaged in an Orla Kiely patterned box" as stated in the descriptions. Only the bowls came in a box. It would have been nice to receive the Orla boxes as some of my items are gifts.
Perfect gift and incredible service. I was truly impressed that the items arrived in Anerica so quickly

Parents reel from schoolbus subsidy blow
Relevant offers
Frustrated and upset Wakatipu parents are desperate for more information on suggested changes to schoolbus routes that could cost up to $1000 a year for each child's transport to and from school.
Ministry of Education representatives told principals last week they had reviewed the area's eligibility for subsidised schoolbuses.
It was identified there was now suitable public transport available for "a number of students" to use to and from school, eliminating some bus routes from funding.
However, the ministry and principals were still working on what bus routes would still qualify.
Principals and parents are frustrated they weren't consulted earlier and many were now in limbo wondering what the changes would mean.
Fernhill mum Theresa Swain has two boys, aged 9 and 10, at St Joseph's School and a son, 13, at Wakatipu High School.
It would cost her $25 per child each week to send her kids to school on the public bus system, about $3000 a year.
"Where are we going to find money for that? We know we've been privileged [to have subsidised buses] but they're treating us like a decile 10 area and we're not."
Mother of three Marimba Powley said safety was also a big concern.
Schoolbuses ensured children were dropped off at school and did not need to walk across busy roads, monitors checked all children were accounted for as they boarded and disembarked, other vehicles were obliged to travel at 20km past schoolbuses and the only other passengers were other schoolchildren.
While the mothers appreciated the schools were passing on all the information they could, it was frustrating not knowing which routes would likely be affected.
"It's scary not knowing. This is our children. This is our community," Swain said.
The wider community would also be affected if more parents drove their children to school, adding to already heavy congestion in the resort, Powley said.
"I'm actually almost speechless. We keep talking about it but we go around in circles because of the frustrating lack of information."
Wakatipu High School principal Steve Hall said the principals were working together on the issue and had told the ministry they were keen to get information as soon as possible.
In answer to Southland Times questions yesterday, the ministry's head of the education infrastructure service Kim Shannon said no final decisions had been made on affected routes and there would be a minimum of a school term's notice of any change to transport arrangements.

The Space
Your stay one mile up the hill from the historic town of Mendocino begins in the garden suite of a private home on a quiet, tree-lined street. In the morning, you can view the apple orchard and the garden bursting with myriad flowers while enjoying the satisfying breakfast we provide during your stay—coffee, tea, cocoa, milk, freshly made granola, bread from a local bakery, yogurt, and organic fruit. You can sit on the deck at your private entrance to enjoy your breakfast, look out over the meadow and watch the many birds winging their way. And with the small refrigerator, microwave & toaster ovens, a French press and teapot in the suite, you can expand your eating options. In the bedroom, your comfort is ensured with a queen-size bed, an electric fireplace and 2 comfortable chairs in the seating area. A large closet offers you space to store your personal belongings.
This accommodation allows you privacy for a restful and restorative getaway. Yet the carpeted sunlight-filled studio also offers the perfect space to work. Several feet of desk-height counter space, generous enough for two, inspire writing, sewing, knitting, art work. In addition, there's an iron and ironing board, should you feel especially industrious. Wi-fi is available, as well as an iPod/mp3 player.
The sounds of birds and frogs, the occasional bunny or baby fox, hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies—these are the distractions of this Mendocino setting. In town, just a 20-minute walk away, you'll find shops, restaurants, and various cultural offerings, depending on the season. Wend your way to the headlands, where you'll look onto the dramatic glory of the Pacific Ocean. And at night, you'll behold stars as you may have never seen them. An aside: if you're looking for property on the beautiful Mendocino coast, use this suite as your home base.
Please note: The 11% Mendocino County Bed Tax is included in the room rate.
Want to stay longer? Ask about the 3rd-night special.
Guest Access
You are invited to wander around the property and to sit on the deck overlooking the pond, garden and meadow.
Interaction with Guests
I am usually present during the guest's stay. Most of my guests are very independent and enjoy the privacy of this beautiful space. I've had many enjoyable conversations with those who have wanted to chat with me.
The Neighborhood
This is a peaceful residential neighborhood.
Getting Around
This property is a 20 minute walk and a five-minute drive to the town of Mendocino. There is no public transportation to speak of.
No smoking anywhere on the property, no pets, no children. Drug-free zone.

We feel extremely fortunate to have had the delightful experience of staying at Hummingbird Haven. Margaret is a thoughtful, caring hostess; the property is quiet; the studio is charming, and every detail is thought-of. She considered, and provided-for our dietary needs. Her suggestion for dining in town was so spot-on, we went back a second night, trying something else off their exquisite menu.
The books in the studio were so interesting I read the ones there instead of the one I had started and brought with me.
Margaret is gentle, warm, intelligent and engaging without being intrusive. Always a pleasure to speak with.
We look forward to staying at Hummingbird Haven again.
We had a wonderful time with Margaret. Her property is beautiful, clean, relaxing and close to town. Breakfast was delicious. We will be back!
This was one of our favorite Air bnb stays, if not our favorite stay of the trip throughout traveling the California coast. Margaret greeted us upon arrival and was the sweetest. She provided us with so much information about the studio and said if we needed anything at all to not hesitate and ask. She also provided my husband and I with 2 passes to go visit the Botanical garden for our anniversary gift. So unexpected, thoughtful and kind. I am so thankful she let us know we should try and make time to go because it was one of the best gardens I've visited. She went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. I see why she has five star reviews across the board.
This was our second stay at Hummingbird Haven. We found it to be as clean, welcoming and private as we had remembered. I especially appreciate this peaceful place that's nestled fairly close to Mendocino and the Coast.
Margaret was very welcoming and stocked our roomed with wonderful local food. She has a beautiful home with hummingbirds everywhere throughout her garden! My sister and I had a great weekend of adventures and were happy to have a cozy place to return and relax at the end of the day :)
This was a wonderful romantic getaway on our honeymoon. The property is absolutely breathtaking, and we loved sitting on the shaded patio with our tea/coffee and watching the hummingbirds fly around us. The gardens are beautiful, and it's so calm and relaxing here. Margaret is a genuine, fun person who we really enjoyed meeting and chatting with. She's really thought of everything, and the studio is well stocked with board games, many varieties of tea, umbrellas, extra lotions and soaps, and just about anything else you could need. We hope to return someday!
What a wonderful experience! Everything was taken care of. Margaret is so thoughtful and attentive. It is a beautiful place, the breakfast is delicious, and we didn't want to leave! Looking forward to returning again soon!
About the Host, Margaret
I'm a longtime Mendocino resident who has lived on this property for 30 years. With its heirloom apple orchard, colorful flower garden, 2 ponds, and an old farmhouse on 3 acres, it's a comfortable and welcoming place to call home.
I speak some French, German and Spanish.

Bridgeport ranked fifth on Inrix's list of "The 10 Worst Traffic Cities in the U.S." this week, The Weather Channel reports. The traffic monitoring company based its list on the average time spent commuting per year for residents in the 100 largest metropolitan areas in the country.
Drivers in the Bridgeport area spent an average of 42 hours sitting in traffic in 2011, the survey said. The worst time to be on highways near Bridgeport was Friday evening between 5:30-5:45 p.m. Honolulu ranked No. 1 with an average time of 58 hours wasted in traffic.

0 Comments on pondering life's pauses, and turns, at Andalusia, in today's Inquirer as of 8/2/2015 10:07:00 AMAdd a Comment
Meera Lee Patel (illustrator, innovator, gentle soul) entered my life through a quiet door, sending me glory in the midst of worry, kindness in the form of a small book, goodness in the form of a nest.
I spent a lot of my years longing for the past or waiting for the future to arrive, confused about where I was and where I wanted to go.... I welcomed distraction. I ventured down various paths for the sake of going somewhere, even though none of them took me close to where I wanted to go.And then.
Because people don't see you or see what you're doing doesn't mean you don't exist. When Robert [Mapplethorpe] and I spent the end of the '60s in Brooklyn [NY] working on our art and poetry, no one knew who we were. Nobody knew our names. But we worked like demons. And no one really cared about Fred and I during the '80s. But our self-concept had to come from the work we were doing, from our communication, not from outside sources.
I want to raise my son to pursue wisdom over winning. I want him to channel his passions and talents and personal politics into rivers of his own choosing. I'd like to take the chance that I feel it is my right to take on contentment over credentials, imagination over conquest, the idiosyncratic point of view over the standard-issue one. I'd like to live in a world where that's okay.
Some call this folly. Some make a point of reminding me of all the most relevant data: That the imagination has lost its standing in classrooms and families nationwide. That storytelling is for those with too much time. That winning early is one bet-hedging path toward winning later on. That there isn't time, as there once was time, for a child's inner life. That a mother who eschews competition for conversation is a mother who places her son at risk for second-class citizenry.
As parents and teachers, as writers and people with more than a few wrinkles by their eyes, let us do what is right by our young people. Let us not rewrite their stories. Let us not allow them to think that winning is more important than knowing. Let us remind them that honesty, authenticity, goodness is the ultimate aim, not stars or unearned privilege. Let them find out who they are.This destruction of self-esteem and erasing of voice is exactly what Nora Raleigh Baskin, author of the new book Ruby on the Outside, fears. Having taught for almost 15 years at organizations including Gotham Writers Workshop, Raleigh Baskin has seen those mindsets trending. She refuses to critique manuscripts to send off to literary magazines or to judge competitions on the grounds that budding writers' voices shouldn't be "held up against a random opinion. This is the time for exploration and for encouragement … Writing is all about process and setting these arbitrary achievements takes away from that."For some young writers, that pressure can be far more insidious than the pain of rejection. The competitive spirit may persuade parents to hire well-known writers to tutor, edit, or even rewrite their children's work. It may even lead minors down the path of plagiarism.
the young writers of the National YoungArts program. Making sure they were heard. Making sure they were seen. Making sure they were experiencing all that week-long program had to give them.
They burned yellow and white, and some of them changed to blue or a cold green or orange—Swede should've been there, she'd have had words. She'd have known that orange to be volcanic or forgestruck or a pinprick between our blackened world and one the color of sunsets. I thought of God making it all, picking up handfuls of whatever material, iron and other stuff, rolling it in. His fingers like nubby wheat. The picture I had was of God taking these rough pellets by the handful and casting them gently, like a man planting. Look at the Milky Way. It has that pattern, doesn't it, of having been cast there by the back-and-forward sweep of His arm?
Q: Although the narrator tells the story in retrospect, we see the world through the eleven- year old eyes of Reuben. How were you able to capture the wonder, fears, and curiosity of such a young protagonist?
A: First, my parents gave me the sort of childhood now rarely encountered. Summers were beautiful unorganized eternities where we wandered in the timber unencumbered by scoutmasters. We dressed in breechclouts and carried willow branch bows, and after supper Dad hit us fly balls. It was probably most idyllic for me as the youngest of four, since three worthy imaginations were out beating the ground in front of me; who knew what might jump up? Now I see that same freedom in the lives of our two sons, whose interests cover the known map. It's easy to witness the world through the eyes of a boy when you have two observant ones with you at all times. But the ruinous thing about growing up is that we stop creating mysteries where none exist, and worse, we usually try to deconstruct and deny the genuine mysteries that remain. We argue against God, against true romance, against loyalty and self-sacrifice. What allows Reuben to keep his youthful perspective is that he's seen all these things in action -- he is the beneficiary of his father's faith. He is a witness of wonders. To forget them would be to deny they happened, and denying the truth is the beginning of death.

October 10, 2014 - Love this cup. Great quality and what a way to share a good cause!
September 2, 2013 - Honestly I have not used my cup yet. I use these cups everyday and throw away when too stained to keep. So saving this one! Gave other as gift. Thanks again!
June 24, 2013 - I was initially very pleased with my travel mug. However, with my first use it seems there was a leak/crack between the inner and outer walls of the mug. It sat overnight, about half full of water and in the morning the paw print paper between the inner and outer wall was coming apart and "floating" due to the water leaking between the walls of the mug. I'll continue to use the mug, but it's not nearly as pretty as it was when I first received it.
