The local maritime industry will be all ears this week when the Army Corps of Engineers gives a fresh update on the status of the critical Charleston Harbor deepening project.
The federal permitting agency is inviting the public to attend the forum 5:30-8 p.m. Tuesday at Mark Clark Hall at The Citadel. The formal presentation begins at 6 p.m.
In its first update since December 2011, the Army Corps said it will be presenting new information. The public will have a chance to comment.
The Army Corps' $13 million feasibility study is part of the $300 million project to dredge Charleston's shipping channel to 50 feet from 45 feet. Officials have said the additional depth is needed to accommodate larger vessels, especially once the Panama Canal is expanded in 2015.
Buckeye bound
Catching an Indians home game from the Lowcountry will be slightly easier for about two months this summer.
United Continental Holdings Inc. said last week it will be offering seasonal Saturday-only service between Charleston International and Cleveland Hopkins International Airport starting June 29.
The United Express flights will be operated by ExpressJet using 50-seat aircraft, said United spokeswoman Mary Clark. The service ends Aug. 24.
United also offers local travelers service to and from Chicago, Houston, Newark Liberty in New Jersey and Dulles International near Washington, D.C.
Benefits bash
In what has become an annual springtime migration, Daniel Island software firm Benefitfocus will take up residence on the peninsula this week to host its customer and health-care benefits industry conference.
The three-day event, called "One Place," kicks off Wednesday morning at the Charleston Music Hall with CEO Shawn Jenkins' keynote address, which, in the tradition of Steve Jobs and Apple, generally features product updates and on-stage banter with customers.
The action, workshops on particular applications and using social media or big data, will shift to Charleston Place for the rest of the conference, except for Wednesday night, when hundreds will descend on the S.C. Aquarium to unwind.
Among more technical talk, a hot topic of conversation is likely to be the status of Benefitfocus' reported plans to go public later this year.
Air turbulence
Earlier this year it was reported that the S.C. Legislature mistakenly erased three members off the Charleston County Aviation Authority.
Soon after, the House sprung into action and introduced a bill to reinstate North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey and board members Pat Waters and Spencer Pryor, all of whom were appointed to the board through special legislation adopted in the 1980s.
The House passed the bill in March and sent it to the Senate, where lawmakers attached an amendment that allows the majority of a legislative delegation that made an appointment to remove a board member.
More significantly, the Senate also added a section to repeal a 2007 law co-authored by Rep. Chip Limehouse that placed the chair and vice chair of the Charleston legislative delegation on the airport board.
Limehouse is chair of the local delegation and until this year held the same title at the Aviation Authority.
The 2007 law that enabled that triggered a lawsuit challenging the airport appointments of Limehouse and state Sen. Chip Campsen, the delegation's vice chair. Campsen has said the law is unconstitutional and refuses to serve on the authority.
A judge tossed the lawsuit this year, though he has not yet signed the order. The plaintiffs have vowed to appeal.
The reinstatement bill made it back to the House last week, where members didn't agree to the amendments, so it appears it's now headed to a conference committee for compromise.

Perfect for CB6KS
Reviewed: October 15, 2014 by johnlow, a Bisexual Married Male
Was not sure if I would actually use these, preferring the padlock previously. However, I have been very impressed with the simple design.
They are very secure. I tested one to see if it could be removed and was unsuccessful. Once clicked into to place, they cannot be removed with damage or cutting.
Since trying these I have been using them more often than the padlock, as they reduce any device bulge down to minimum and I can comfortably wear my CB6KS under my suit all day. The wife can make note of the number and inspect at any time she wishes.
- Pros
- Small, discreet and secure.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Perfect for any CB device.

Happy Birthday, Snooki! 24 Reasons Why We Love the Original Meatball
Snooki already celebrated her 24th birthday in style last week, which was a riot — though most of the really fun stuff probably stayed in Vegas. And wasn't it considerate of her to rearrange her birthday celebration around Thanksgiving? Even the new skinny Snooks loves to feast.
We thank Snooki every day for bringing us into her world for the past three years, and it really feels like the tiniest meatball of them all is a family member. So we came up with a reason why we love her, for every blessed year the Pouf has been in action.

8. She gets along with everyone in the house really well (except Mike, but nobody gets along with Mike now).
9. She can wear the tiniest scraps of clothing and call them "a dress."
10: She knows how to charm the press (Matt Lauer, Conan, Jimmy Kimmell).
11. She has no shame when it comes to her fashion (admitting it's "gaudy").

13. She calls her Twitter followers "tweedos."

The attractive stainless steel constructions with rolled edges and cool-touch handles offers easy serving at any location, so you don't have to keep going back to the kitchen to refill your coffee. The 4-cup design is perfect for couples or at the office if you prefer your own specialty coffees at work. Capacity and Contstruction: 4-cup capacity Stainless steel body for added durability Cool-touch handle, lid knob, and base for security Rolled edges provide easy handling as you pour Brewing: Automatic keep warm mode Power: 1000 Watts of power Detachable power cord Coffee in no time with 1-cup per minute brewingsThe Farberware percolator system is designed to brew coffee with full flavor extraction at about one cup per minute, so a full 4-cup brew takes about 4 minutes to complete—faster than most percolators and about the same amount of time as a drip coffeemaker (just with better flavor!). Smart Design for Secure Serving On many percolators, there are issues with serving because the stainless steel body gets hot as you brew; in addition, sharp edges on the metal need to be carefully avoided as you serve to prevent injury. Cool-touch surfaces on the lid, handle and base of this percolator plus the rolled-in edges on the stainless steel help avoid these issues for no-hassle serving and pouring. Go anywhere with a Detachable Power Cord The detachable cord allows you to transport the percolator from your brewing area to a serving area without needing an additional coffee pot or carafe. You can brew in the kitchen or at your office sink, then take the percolator to the coffee table or meeting room without a fuss. No More Tepid Coffee with Automatic Keep Warm Mode Your percolator remains powered on while it is still plugged in with the detachable power cord. This maintains your coffee at the right temperature, so you can enjoy your coffee over a longer time without worrying about drinking that tepid last cup of coffee. UPC: 0632051030028

I read a lot of food blogs. One of the original purposes of this blog was for it to be a place to collect the best ideas from them. I need to do that more. Today, over at playing with fire and water, I saw just such a great idea: using leeks to make vegetarian sausage casings. Think about it: Leeks, like onions, have rings. Leeks, unlike onions, are long. Thus, the rings form a series of concentric tubes. Cut off either end, and what do you have? Tubes. Perfect for stuffing things in.

The pictures from NASA look great: Four women and four men make up the agency's latest astronaut class. Unfortunately, this gender parity remains elusive in most STEM workplaces. Women make up nearly 50 percent of the wider workforce yet hold fewer than 25 percent of all jobs in STEM fields.
But it's not just a question of parity. Perhaps Nobel Prize-winning scientist Carol Greider put it best when she said, "It's very important to have more voices at the table, not just out of fairness for certain people but because, really, the future depends on being able to bring as much brain power to as many issues as we can."

2 cups
chopped fresh mushrooms
1 small
onion, chopped
2 cups
chicken broth
3 tablespoons
butter, melted
3 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups
1/2 cup
heavy cream
1 pinch
salt and pepper to taste
4 slices
white bread, toasted
1 tablespoon
softened butter
1 cup
shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
I don't know about it being southern, but with a couple changes it was great. I didn't do the bread and cheese part, I just served it as soup. I added a little worchestershire sauce and some garlic powder for flavor, and that instantly made a huge difference. I chopped portobello mushrooms into good sized pieces and the flavor was delicious. I'll definitely make again. It's hard to believe that this was so quick.
Great recipe,but I found it better to fry the mushrooms in the butter,then add the flour to make a roux,and then add other liquids.Frying the mushrooms brings out more of the flavour than just boiling it,apart from that? Faultless.

I used the same ingredients - just in a slightly different order: I sauted the mushrooms, onions (and some garlic) in the butter. I then added the broth, cream and milk (reserving a few TBLS to mix with the flour). Brought to a boil and then added the flour/milk mix to thicken - reducing the heat and stirring well. Once ready to serve - I added some cooked crumbled bacon and sprinkled some cheese over each bowl. Served with french bread on the side. Awesome and easy meal with simple ingrediants. A keeper recipe for sure!!
Super good mushroom soup! I didn't add the bread or cheese because the soup was really good on it's own. My daughter thought she wouldn't like fresh mushroom soup but we gobbled it up in one day! We had canned mushroom soup the next day and she realized how much better the fresh mushroom soup had been. The whole family asked for it again.
DITTO to Quilterfan! This was just packed full of deeeelicious flavor! Amazing for how fast, and easy it was to prepare! I used fat free half and half in place of the heavy cream, my milk was 2%, and I added about 1 cup extra mushrooms. I toasted French bread slices, and it was pure "soul food" when served. This soup is fit for any occasion from fancy frills to down home relaxing! About the only warning I'll give you is to DOUBLE THIS RECIPE! My daughter and I inhaled all 4 servings..rotf! Thanks for sharing this one SouthernGirl3!!
This was great! My fav mushroom soup I've tried so far. I added 3 cups of mushrooms and rough chopped half of them and used the food processor for the rest.
This is a really good soup. I doubled the recipe so we had enough for 2 days. I sauteed the onions and mushrooms and also I added 4 garlic cloves to them. Then I added the chicken broth and followed the recipe from there. We ate it with some french bread toasted in the oven and it was delicious.
This soup is absolute delicious, smooth and creamy. The only change I made was to add just a tiny trace of freshly ground nutmeg. Thank you for sharing this great dish. It is a keeper which I will definitely plan on making again.

The Residence
Odd location for a decent hotel
What we say:
Located down the street past the market, just before the entrance to Mae Hong Son's airport, this is an odd spot for what is a very nice hotel. It's not the most scenic part of town but very few flights are scheduled here, so there's not too much noise and it's convenient to the market if nothing else. It claims to be Mae Hong Son's first boutique hotel and, in the sense that it's small and tastefully decorated, fair enough. It's well laid out, so gives the impression of cosiness rather than crampedness, with a pleasant lobby area with WiFi and a cafe and small upstairs balcony/sitting area with a view across town. The brochure calls it a boutique guesthouse but its comfort level and prices put it firmly in the hotel category. Rooms are comfortable, with en suite hot shower and air-con.

Product description
The place of intellectuals (in the broad sense of the educated elite) in society has varied in place and time. The higher the level of industrial development, the less influence they seem to exercise. Thus, while intellectuals may be sought as advisors and members of think tanks in the so-called First World, they are rarely seen exercising direct state power. The situation is different in the so called Third World, notably Africa. The educated elite has historically seemed destined - by social ascription or self-arrogation - to play a central role in the exercise of state power. In Africa alone, the first generation of post-independence rulers - Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Leopold Sedar Senghor of Senegal, Julius Nyerere of Tanzania - provides us with ample evidence to appreciate this reality. In Ethiopia, too, intellectuals have played a role and exercised an influence disproportionate to their size. This can be divided broadly into two phases, with the Italian Occupation (1936-1941) forming an important watershed between them.The pre-war intellectuals were preoccupied with a whole gamut of concerns ranging from educational development to fiscal reform. They had an essentially reformist agenda.The Fascist Italian invasion and the subsequent occupation not only terminated their careers but also - through its merciless policy of liquidation of the educated elite - created a gap in intellectual activity in the immediate post - Liberation years. The second period of intellectual intervention could thus begin only in the late 1950s. It revolved mainly around Ethiopian students (mostly at the tertiary level at the initial stage), both at home and abroad. This eventually evolved into what came to be known as the Ethiopian Student Movement. The movement could be said to have gone through three successive stages: self-awareness, reformism, revolutionary commitment. There is general agreement that the year 1965, when students came out onto the streets with the slogan of "Land to the Tiller," marked the beginning of the third stage. It is this third stage that is the focal point of this study. For it constitutes the crucial period that forms both the backdrop and the essence of the changes that have come to affect fundamentally the Ethiopian state and society - changes that are yet far from over.

CHURUBUSCO — Another weekend in the Indiana high school girls' track and field season had another title go home with Columbia City.
Saturday, the Lady Eagles claimed their second consecutive weekend title at the Churubusco Turtletown Invitational.
The Lady Eagles beat Warsaw in the large school "Gold" division with 23.5 points to spare, 115.5-88.
GOSHEN — Whitko boys' track head coach Ron Cherry called it a total team effort after his Wildcats went to the Goshen Relays Saturday.
A total of 102 points was the most Whitko had ever scored at the event.
Despite the showing, the Wildcats came home runner-up to Fairfield in the class B division.

CHURUBUSCO — "It's probably the best girls meet I've ever been a part of."
That's all Churubusco girls' track head coach Zack Dock could say after his Lady Eagles owned the Turtletown Invitational Saturday.
For the first time since 1991, Churubusco came away as the top team at its own weekend invitational.
"Every day, I knew God was with me. He lifted the world off my shoulders." — Jill Winebrenner.
"Every day is a gift." — Jill's husband, Tony Winebrenner.
It has been more than four years since the accident that brought the life Jill Winebrenner lived to a halt.
Though she has suffered through seven surgeries to try to fix her broken pelvis, was told she would never get out of a wheelchair and still suffers constant pain, she says she wouldn't change a thing.
"It's not the best thing that happened to me, but it brought my life to reality," she said.
Jack Dewitt Schrader, 61, died Thursday, March 31, 2011 in Oregon City, Ore. He was born May 21, 1949 in Columbia City, a son of Dewitt and Phyllis Schrader.
Survivors include his wife, Patricia Schrader; children, Erica Streeton, Sara Schrader and Isaac Schrader; and sister, Ann Akpabio.
A memorial service will be at 11 a.m. April 30 at the Columbia City United Methodist Church with a reception following.
Memorials may be directed to the VFW of Columbia City.
Evelyn Irene Andorfer, 92, of Columbia City, passed away at 5:40 a.m. on Good Friday, April 22, 2011 at her home. Born Nov. 13, 1918 in Edgerton, she was a daughter of William and Minnie (Longardner) Doty.
COLUMBIA CITY — Officials at the local division of Steel Dynamics, Inc. say that the recent expansion announcement by the company in Allen County won't have a negative effect on Whitley County.
The steel conglomerate announced last week it was forming a new company in a partnership with a Spanish firm for the purpose of recycling copper for use as wire rods.
The company is considering a site in New Haven as one of four potential locations for the new manufacturing facility.
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City's Board of Works and Safety acted on a proposed agreement with a consulting firm to investigate flooding in one area of town — well sort of.
Board member Walt Crowder had some reservation about wording in a proposed contract with GAI Consultants to study a watershed area.
After discussion, Crowder moved to approve the agreement, but wanted a slight change in wording regarding the fee.
The Indiana Basketball Coaches Association awards two scholarships a year in the name of Pat Aikman.
One of those comes from Whitley County.
The Whitko Lady Wildcats' senior captain Rachelle Kessie was the recipient of scholarship along side Huntington North's Kyle Bradburn.
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City water superintendent Mike Dear reported Friday morning that a water main break earlier this week near the Blue River may have spilled 10 million gallons of water before it could be repaired.
In an area near the river and Radio Road where on-going sewer line installations have been under way for some time, Dear said he was driving by such a site on Monday when "I spotted water coming out of a culvert pipe that normally wouldn't have water coming out of it."

Shakespeare for Punks
The is the first of what will undoubtedly be many, many posts to come in which I profile my favorite homeschooling materials, because first of all, I've pretty much tried them all, and second…I've pretty much tried them all. If you'll look over in the left hand menu, you'll see the new "Homeschooling" addition, which will someday—if I ever get my laundry done—morph into its own unique page/section. And if you're not a homeschooler, please note that most of the standalone academic/ homeschooling materials I'll profile here are not "just for homeschoolers"—you can just as easily use them with your kids in the summertime, after school, or anytime they need an intellectually enriching diversion.
Huh? Duh…wha?
Let me take a minute to make a homeschooling confession: if it were entirely up to me, I'd spend every hour of homeschooling teaching literature, writing, grammar, Latin, and other English-related disciplines. History, too—I simply inhale it. Now, Math? I wish it would go away forever. I hate it. It's mean. Shoo, math…SHOO!
But English? It's important to me (don't ask me why—it just is), and it's important to me that my kids grow up at least being aware of the classics: Shakespeare, Homer, Chaucer, Austen, Twain, Tolstoy…shall I go on? But the problem is, the classics in their original form are often (almost always) way, way too much for a punk to grasp, which means they often aren't exposed to these works until junior high, high school, or even later. Or never.
Early in my homeschooling journey, I was able to find some kid-friendly versions of classics such as The Odyssey, Beowulf, The Iliad, Canterbury Tales, and many, many others. The idea here is to introduce young kids to the storylines of these books, to the characters, the twists and turns, and some of the details. Then, when they're older and pick up the real thing, they already have the framework cemented in their memory and can then concentrate on the language, the subplots, and the intricacies of the writing itself. I take the same approach to history: teach them everything, even the complicated things, early on. Only make it fun, colorful, memorable. Then later, when they have to delve more deeply into things, they don't have to get mired in the basics. This approach is one that just works for me and my kids.
Along those lines, I want to show you these:
They're "Shakespeare Can Be Fun" books. I've used them for over three years, and they never fail to charm my socks off.
Based on Shakespeare's works, they're written in rhyming couplets meant to tell the Bard's stories in a clever, engaging way. The books are peppered with color drawings by kids ages 7 through 10, and are meant either to be read aloud or performed as plays. After we read our first one—The Tempest—I ordered the whole dadgum series. We liked 'em that much.
Here's Trinculo, the jester in The Tempest. And here's an excerpt of this part of the story:
"It's Warm!" he cried, as he felt the lump in wonder,
Then jerked back in dismay, at the sound of thunder.
He crawled back under the cape to escape the raging bellows,
"Misery acquaints a man with strange bed-fellows."
The poetry is catchy, clever, and always throws in phrases and words that are true to Shakespeare's original work.
But here's one of my favorite aspects of the books. Every couple of pages, it displays actual notes from school students, who were instructed to write letters as one of the characters in the story. I love them. They make me howl with laughter. Here's a letter from "Trinculo," a.k.a. Kelsey, age 8:
What is this mountain of smells? It
is even worse than my master's old
grimy hunting boots! Is it a mammal
or amphibian? I'd question the whole
universe to find the mysterious truth!
As sure as bees buzz, I'm stumped!
I'm sorry, but if that isn't the cutest thing…whoa. And the books are filled with those little gems.
Here's another one, from Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream:
There it was…the flower I had been
searching for. I swooped down at ramming
speed. This flower is like a tree to us
pixsees and it will be tuff to chop it down.
But I can't work on an empty stumic. I
pulled out my picnic basket and ate chunks
of olive and bread crumbs and drank a
thimble full of lemunade. Then I took a
mighty swing and the flower was mine!
—Puck, a.k.a. Glenn Truelove (age 8 )
Aside from The Tempest, here are many of the other titles available:
And for those who need a Shakespeare primer…
Here's the story of The Bard himself.
It's the life story of ol' William, told in the same style as the others.
And whether you're seven or nine or 39 1/2 (hypothetically speaking), I dare you not to learn something new every time you open these gems.

I would love to hear more about what you use for Language Arts studies. I am your opposite. I love teaching math and have no desire to teach creative writing–I have no creative writing bone in my body! The Shakespeare books look very cute and I may get a couple to read aloud to the kids. My oldest is only second grade so we're a few years behind you, but I love reading about your homeschooling ideas and adventures. Keep them coming!
TashOYSTERBLOGGER On Tuesday, October 21 at 6:30 pm
I am a wannabe homeschooler with a school in back of me. I live in a great district and a brand new awesome school but I love all these ideas and I will be clinging to them when I think my kids are being understimulated!!
Rachel On Thursday, October 23 at 12:01 am
do your boys enjoy this too???
MooBee Ma in Oregon On Thursday, October 23 at 2:07 am
I just found these at our local library. Can't wait to check 'em out!
Michelle On Thursday, October 23 at 1:36 pm
These are amazing! I don't have kids yet (heck, I'm not even getting married until nine days from now), but will definitely homeschool when I do.
As a woman with an English degree who has a slightly obsessive (read: stuffed dolls, magnets and T-shirts) crush on the Bard (and several other brilliant white guys who happen to be dead), these books are exactly the thing all children should have. If they're exposed to things like Shakespeare early and in a fun way, they won't be so afraid of it in the future, like many adults are.
Of course, I'll be the weirdo teaching Shakespeare in the original to my future 7-year-old…
Pam Hornback On Friday, October 24 at 1:08 am
Remember Animaniacs, they have a few cute Shakespeare videos on youtube. My daughter loved them. Here's a link to Wakko's 50 State Capitols, which is how my child learned the States and Capitols. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNUDDaEOvuY
Kristen Randle On Monday, October 27 at 4:02 am
These look cute. But don't sell the original short. I read Midsummer Night's Dream with my kids when they were over and under 10 and we had a tremendous time with it. The language itself is so beautiful and flows so naturally, it sells itself.
Jennifer W On Tuesday, November 4 at 3:57 pm
These are such wonderful books and my kids are really enjoying Shakespeare for the first time! Thanks for sharing because now they will have a great appreciation of Shakespeare for the rest of their lives. Keep the books coming…we love to read around here!
Liz On Saturday, November 15 at 1:28 am
I found these lovely books at Rainbow Resource's catalog for around $7.00. Barnes and Nobel had them for $15.
Thanks and just wondering if you have ever heard Carole Joy Seid speak? She is very much along your homeschool philosophy!
Kaity On Sunday, December 21 at 4:12 am
I'm a fan of English myself…but I'm always a little uncomfortable with things like "Shakespeare is fun." I went to my first Shakespeare play when I was nine. No, I didn't get everything, but I loved it. In fact, that year I went to see three plays (Richard III, A Winter's Tale, and A Midsummer Night's Dream) and I remember them all very distinctly. Again, I didn't get the poetry, but because I was watching them, I did know what was going on. So, I tend to like the idea of exposing kids to the real thing at a young age, and working through the difficult bits. And there are so many classics that are appropriate for children (Charlotte's Web, R.L. Stevenson's work, Chronicles of Narnia, etc.) that can be read then.
But I haven't got any kids yet, so I suppose I shouldn't be talking!
Love your blog, by the way.
becky On Thursday, December 25 at 8:22 am
Ree, how do you go about teaching the tragedies to your kids, when our culture is so used to happy (or at least somewhat redemptive) endings? I'm trying to imagine explaining the last scene of "Hamlet" to a seven-year-old (a very hypothetical seven-year-old, but still) and drawing a total blank!
SoCalLynn On Wednesday, December 31 at 5:31 pm
I ordered these for my 9 year old. They came at the beginning of the Christmas break. She said, "these are for after Christmas break, right?" I guess she was afraid I'd *make her read* them over Christmas. Anyway, I left them on the table…and she has already read three of them! She loves them! Thanks for the recommendation Ree!
Marcie On Tuesday, January 6 at 4:55 pm
Since you LOVE literature/writing, I wanted to share this little gem with you. I bought a book for my children when I homeschooled called "Creating Books with Children" by Valerie Bendt. We LOVED this program! You walk your children (and yourself ) through the creation of a book from pre-writing, writing, text layout, illustrating, editing, book assembly and binding in easy to follow steps. We created some awesome books that will be enjoyed by all of us for generations. Each year about mid-way, we would take a month and concentrate only on creating these books. We put away the math, history, geography, science and focused on these creations. It was so much fun and broke up the school year. This book is still available in Canada so I'm sure you'll be able to find it in the USA. Wish I'd known about the Shakespeare books back then!! Could have used the help understanding them
Joan Callaway On Tuesday, January 6 at 6:05 pm
I don't homeschool, but I do tutor and use many of the resources you mention. We have a vacation home in Ashland, Oregon, and my children grew up with Shakespeare at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival…and now second and third generation are following. I thought I would share with you the title of my favorite children's book – for the art, the story, and all of the literary references to mythology: Voyage of the Basset – James C. Christensen. I believe the book may be out of print, but some used ones are still available at amazon.com.
Jen On Wednesday, January 28 at 12:50 pm
We do these too! I found them the second year we were homeschooling and now we do one or two a year and journal them, write letters and draw the characters. My kids act out the parts, but I only have two kids so it kind comes off in a mulitple-personality kind of performance. Sometimes the dogs are assigned characters. Its a beautiful mess. The whole series is awesome!
Vicki On Friday, February 27 at 11:15 am
Both my children were homeschooled after a terrifying flood in Iowa got my son out of school for a few days and his sense of humor came back. Hmmmmm…..what's up with this, thought I? That summer we signed up for a new fangled thing the school district was offering called Homeschooling.
I did enroll them in Kumon math, which is painless for parents except for the " I don't care that it's Saturday you HAVE TO DO YOUR KUMON" or "I don't care we're in Disneyland, you know the deal, YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR KUMON." Because of it, my daughter was able to skip an entire algebra college course when she eventually got there at the age of sixteen. My son was too busy hiding his Kumon in the linen closet on more than one occasion. Now a great big grown man who mystifies me fixing computers and all their shenanigans for a living, he still laments not taking Kumon seriously, vowing to finish the course one day.
I now homeschool one granchild whilst caring for the other.
I'm back to saying the same thing only with a little bit of a slant "Yes, YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR KUMON and ya better get a move on because your momma's on her way home from work." Now if this was my son's daughter, I might get a fiendish delight after all the fits he threw but no, he gets the daughter who since a year old wants nothing more than to read and write and go to Kumon with her cousin. Somehow they got each other's children, temperment wise.
If Kumon doesn't do correspondence, I'd be making them a deal they couldn't refuse. http://www.kumon.com
Kumon should pay me for all the kids I've tortured telling their parents about Kumon. I'm a reading tutor and don't do no stinkin' math.
Alyssa Griffeth On Monday, March 23 at 10:35 pm
These are the books that made me fall in LOVE with Shakespeare as a kid! I am 22 now, but my family has been going to the Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City, Utah since before I was born! Each year, we see 6 plays…It taught me to appreciate literature at a young age.
When I was 8 or 9, Louis Barlett, the teacher/author of the Shakespeare Can Be Fun! series came to Cedar City! She put on a wonderful seminar for us, and her students performed their version of Macbeth for us! It was so unbelievable to hear little kids talk so eloquently!
Anyway, if you ever get the chance, take your kids to the Shakespeare Festival! I get to take my husband for the first time this year and can't wait! You won't regret it, I promise!
Bonnie On Tuesday, March 31 at 8:02 pm
Those books look like fun, even for grown-ups. I am a direct descendant of Shakespeare's sister, Joan. Too bad I didn't inherit any of Uncle Bill's literary abilities
Elizabeth On Tuesday, May 26 at 11:55 am
Ree, this looks great!
My kids and I have been reading "Tales from Shakespeare" by Tina Packer. She weaves together direct quotes from Will's original work and language that makes some if it more understandable for kids. We just read Hamlet over the course of a couple of days and my kids loved it.
We found a cute video at the library too "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare" performed by The Reduced Shakespeare Company. It's very entertaining for adults and kids who already know the stories.
Kendall On Friday, June 5 at 8:27 pm
BEST THING EVER. I adoreadoreadore Shakespeare. Just…yes…this makes me so happy.
lucy On Sunday, June 7 at 10:58 am
Maybe math is good for exercising a different area of the brain. I hated it. Still do. But I can see where it would do a brain good.
Beth On Monday, June 22 at 11:51 am
Excellent idea! My mother (a/k/a educator extraordinaire) gave me a copy of Charles & Mary Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare for my ninth birthday- knowing the plot beforehand made tackling the real thing fun. Also check out the Moby Books Illustrated Classics series- they are abridged retellings of the classics with cartoon illustrations on every other page. My sister and I loved them as kids.
Pansy On Saturday, August 8 at 12:55 pm
As a public school teacher of 40+ years, I am always interested in homeschooling—-many of my students could benefit from having even the rudiments at home—but I support you and all dedicated homeschooling families….so many people think that education begins and ends at the schoolhouse door—when in truth the family is the child's first educational setting and unlike public school where I am forced to move through the curriculum from page 1 to page infinity each year, children's needs be dammed—homeschooling allows for spurts and coasting in a child's development….as for taking time off to work on the ranch—throw in a bit of botany ( that's jimson weed and we can't have it in the pasture) or the alfalfa is growing well in mid pasture,,,what could be causing the slower growth in the north part(problem solving) and school continues out of doors and with a hands on approach…counting calves, averaging cow/calf ratios–man,,,I could homeschool on a ranch and never touch pencil to paper(or finger to computer) how much saddle soap will it take to clean three bridles and four saddles if one 8 oz can will clean two saddles and one bridle……you see what I mean????
Goannatree On Monday, August 10 at 6:19 pm
Some great literary minds have written "Shakespeare for Children" versions. Actually, the woman i am writing my PhD on, E.Nesbit (an author who CS. Lewis, Tolkien, Madeline L'Engle and Ursula LeGuin all read when they were children) did an edition in the early 20th century. I think full text is available on googlebooks if you interested otherwise leave me a note over at my blog and i'll get the details to you.
Valerie White On Tuesday, October 27 at 9:34 am
I have several in this series… LOVE THEM!!! I love that my children are introduced to Shakespeare this way. It gives them a great foundation for when they are older and need to tackle the more difficult versions — they already know the basis of the story. Isn't that wonderul??
meeshiesmom On Monday, February 1 at 8:08 am
Thank you! I love Shakespeare, Dickens, the Bronte's, etc. and have been wondering how to incorporate these things to my 7 year old who has a reading level of a 3rd grader but still wants to read Duck Soup. Nothing wrong with Duck Soup, just that I want to push her to expand her reading ability. I am also encouraging her to read the Little House series that I loved at her age. Maybe I can get her to enjoy some Little Women! Maybe not, what if she is more like her dad, the non reader? Will I be able to handle that?
Kate On Saturday, March 6 at 7:14 pm
Can you tell us what the "kid-friendly versions of classics such as The Odyssey, Beowulf, The Iliad, Canterbury Tales" you found were? (I'm working through your home-schooling archives…my apologies if you have already covered this.)

The 50 Best Songs of 1955
by Nick Murray | February 12, 2014
Welcome to The 50, a Rhapsody scheme in which we attempt to compile the biggest, best, most historically remarkable songs of every year. Our list of 50 tracks -- presented here in no particular order, ideally flowing like a time-traveling DJ set -- has been argued over and (grudgingly) agreed upon by our full editorial staff. Please enjoy.
For rock 'n' roll, 1955 was a tipping point: Where Richard Brooks' Blackboard Jungle (notable for a scene in which a classroom of discontent kids smash up a teacher's collection of big band records) shook up moviegoers around the world, the song that opens it, Bill Haley's "Rock Around the Clock," became one of the biggest hits of the year, certifying a name for the lively rhythm and blues that had been bubbling for years. Beyond Haley, Bo Diddley's "Bo Diddley"/"I'm a Man" single, one of the greatest ever, introduced a syncopated beat that would be a staple of the genre for years; Ray Charles' "I Got a Woman" would continue to provide inspiration to artists into the new millennium; and Chuck Berry's "Maybellene" was so irresistible that Marty Robbins even scored a hit by covering it for the country charts.
But don't for a second think that rock was the only game in town. Those country charts, for instance, also saw classics from George Jones, Johnny Cash and Kitty Wells, while Tennessee Ernie Ford's "Sixteen Tons" went on to become a crossover smash. Artists like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Perry Como continued crooning hits of their own (Como even experimented with rock 'n' roll himself), and Perez Prado and Tito Rodriguez performed songs popular enough to create the "mambo craze." Enjoy all that and more in our picks of the top 50 songs from 1955.

Former congressman Anthony Weiner after announcing his resignation. (June 16, 2011)
Jason Carroll is pushed aside by a senior correspondent from the rival Cubs Nipple Network.
Nice to see Mrs. Weiner still allows her husband to carry a cellphone.
I'm guessing it's not the same one he'd been using until recently.

Innocom Technology Holdings, Inc. (The Company) (OTCBB: INCM) is a leading mobile communications technology company based in Hong Kong . With operations in Hong Kong , the Company is currently one of the largest independent mobile handset design houses in the People's Republic of China . The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 26, 1998 , and began trading on May 5, 2006 on the Bulletin Board. In March 2006, the Company acquired and wholly owns entire interests of Innocom Technology Holdings Limited which was founded in October 2004. After the acquisition, the Company has two principal lines of business: mobile phone handset design and the trade of mobile phones, handsets, and components. The Company provides complete design services spanning the entire handset pre-production cycle including industrial design, mechanical design, software and hardware design, component selection and sourcing, prototype testing, pilot production and production support.
The Company wholly-owns Beijing Unismobile Communication Technology Co., Ltd., a firm providing customized mobile handset design to licensed manufacturers. The Company adopts technologies for mobile handset design from third party licensors. To cost effectively streamline the development-to-market process, licensed manufacturers outsource the design of new products to independent design houses, such as Innocom Technology Holdings, Inc., and then sell the final product under their own brand name to the retail market. The Company also relies on third-party suppliers for manufacturing handset modules and components as well as complete handsets. The Company's customers include leading Chinese mobile handset brand owners such as TCL, CECT, Cosun Communications, Panda Communications and Zhejiang Holley Communications Group Co., Ltd.
The Company generates revenues via a three tiered business model. Revenues are derived from the provision of total mobile handset design solutions to clients negotiated on a project by project basis. Additionally, the Company collects royalty fees from handset manufacturers once a client begins commercial production of a handset. The royalty is levied on each printed circuit board shipped or on a lump sum basis. The Company also receives monies from the sale of complete mobile handsets and components. In addition to providing a full service mobile handset design solution to handset manufacturers, the Company generates revenues from the bulk trade and shipment of handsets through Chinarise Capital (International) Limited, the Company's operating subsidiary in Hong Kong .

Dana, her strict mom, was livid at first. Her Step Daughter was sucking him absolutely crappily. Thus when her step mom looked at his huge cock she resolved to advise Janice how to skillfully give head. Ms. Griffith had not been fulfilling her fuck friend during sexual intercourse. She said to Janice how to take a dick down her throat without choking.
The instruction worked amazingly. Ms. Griffith was happy and so was her fuck buddy. Not only did Ms. Griffith jizz but so did her step mom!

"The seeds of paradise are planted in the mind, take root in the heart and flourish in the world."
Paradise isn't dependent on what's going on in the world around you. It's entirely dependent on what's going on inside of you–within your mind. Because as you'll soon find out that's the only place the world, as you know it, exists. From here peace, well-being and happiness will follow!
"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."
Albert Einstein
That Einstein; now there was one smart dude. Imagine if you could discover your own hidden powers that would reveal those life and world illusions? And in the process experience an transcendent and empowered life? Well, good news. You can.
You can free and empower your mind and allow paradise to begin rising in your life. How can you make this happen? By hanging out at here at ParadiseRising.ca, using the free PR Meditation and taking a journey through your guidebooks to paradise: Be Somebody and Swimming with Gandhi and Einstein.
Feed your mind and soul…and…feed a child!
The good news is when you embark on your life enhancing journey through Be Somebody & Swimming with Gandhi and Einstein you'll also be sending an amazingly effective and life giving food to acutely malnourished children. Now that's what I call sharing paradise.
Enjoy the journey!
Love in Indonesia
Excerpt from Swimming with Gandhi and Einstein
"I'm going to share something with you that I have told very few people," she informed me, as her voice became quieter, and at the same time, more intense.
"Why me?" I asked.
"Because I feel you need it." She looked me in the eyes like she was about to tell me where I could find a lost treasure. "One time I had to take a long car trip and about half-way through the trip I stopped in a park by a river to meditate in my car. It didn't seem like a great meditation, but that's the way these things happen. After I continued on my trip I came to a small town…"
"What town?" I asked with renewed interest.
"That doesn't really matter does it?" she asked.
"I don't know does it?"
"No," she replied with a slight giggle. "As I was saying, I came to this town and I stopped at a small market. I was about to open my car door to get out when something happened. For a very short time which seemed to hang in eternity, I saw that everyone and everything, all that could be seen and all that is unseen consists of something that I can only describe as a profound and peaceful love.
In that moment I came to the realization that love is not simply just an emotion that we feel or don't feel depending on who we're with, but is much, much more than that. Love is all around us and through us and connects us all to each other. Love quietly and unobtrusively lies waiting to bubble over and to be used and given away to anyone and everyone regardless of the relationships we think we have or don't have with others."
She stopped talking to examine my reaction before starting again. "It was after that I realized that it was possible to experience the love I have for my daughter with anyone on the planet and the only one stopping me is me."
"Come on now, you can't honestly say you feel the same way for the worst that humanity has produced as you do for your daughter!" I said in disbelief.
"James, all I know is that love does not exclude anyone ~ we do."
She turned to look out at the lush valley in front of us and then turned back to face me. "James, inside there," she said getting up from the table and pointing to my chest, "is a man worthy of getting to know. All you need to do is get out of his way and let him emerge." With that she reached into her pack and threw some cash on the table.
"Where are you going?" I said, surprised by her sudden move to get up and leave.
"I'm going back to the hotel to see how my baby is doing," she informed me.
"Well, wait a second and I'll walk with you," I reached for my pocket as I began to stand.
"No James, I'll be fine." She touched my shoulder to gently sit me back down.
"Helena you don't need to leave. Give me a few minutes and I'll take you back," I was on the borderline of pleading. I didn't want her to leave because at that moment I wasn't crazy about being alone.
"I'll see you later. Perhaps we'll get together when Gerard is feeling better," she said. "We're at Oka Wati's Bungalows." She shouted back to me as she walked away.
I sat feeling lousy as I stared into space. I wanted to leave but I didn't want to have to get out of my chair to do it. Soon I found myself heading down the road in the direction I assumed was the quickest way back to the village centre, but I only half cared if I made it. I passed a few locals who were friendly and said hello. My attempt to respond was dismal with a slight nod of my head in acknowledgement. I came upon a path that led away from the road and down toward the river. I decided to follow it across a small field to the edge of the steep hill. Peering down, I saw that the path zigzagged down to the water's edge.

A matter of happiness
I love this picture. It's a shot of a bunch of kids playing in the aftermath of a World War 2 battle. If you look closely you can see it's a photo taken through a blown out wall and there are bullet holes in the top right hand corner of the picture.
Can you see the expressions on the faces of the kids? They're happy! They're smiling and laughing…during a life of turmoil and uncertainty. In the middle of it all they've found their paradise, their paradise that simply exists in play and fun and living in the moment. In that moment they couldn't care less about all the urgent matters created and sustained in the adult mind.
If there is anything I've learned over the years in this classroom called fatherhood it's that young children live like nothing matters. This, coupled with living in the moment allows for a happy paradise-like existence.
"But wait!" you say. "We just need to teach them which things in life actually matter." Really? We've been doing that since the first parent/child relationship. How's it working for us? Some adults think certain things matter so much they start wars and fly planes into buildings. The problem is the genesis of what matters occurs in the firing of synapses in someone's brain. There are 6.7 billion brains out there. That's a whole lot of "what matters." That can be (and has been) messy.
It's time we began turning things around and started learning from children. Started living in the moment and seeing ourselves as the creators of what matters and therefore free to choose what our lives will be about. Then there would be no more blown out walls and bullet holes.
Ego: Relationship killer!
Excerpt from day 17 of Be Somebody You've Never Imagined
One beautiful summer night, my girlfriend Stephanie, who happens to now be my wife, and I were driving home from a date. We were in her car so she was driving. After a few moments she turned and told me to put on my seat belt.
This happened to be a very introspective time in my life. I was on a quest to figure out this whole ego thing. Although I had read about it, for some reason that wasn't enough. I needed something more, but I didn't know what.
My inquiry about the human ego was like a pebble in one's shoe. You carry on with your day-to-day life and yet, in the back of your mind, you're always aware of the existence of that pebble. For months my ego inquiry was always just below the surface of my mind, waiting for answers.
I was living in a question, just as Einstein did when he watched clouds pass during months and even years of intellectual inquiry. Living in the question is simply the process of asking a question of no one in particular. It's just sending that question out into the cosmos, the subconscious, or the source of all things, whatever you want to call it. It is the act of waiting for life to give you the answer or solution you seek.
Stephanie's request for me to put on my seat belt was an entirely reasonable and legal request. I turned to her and said. "No."
She looked over at me like I had lost my mind. She said, "Could you please put it on?".
"No, I don't want to put it on," I defiantly responded to Steph's second request.
"Will, you have to put it on, it's the law, you're in my car and I'm responsible."
"I'm not putting on my seat belt," I forcefully stated. "I don't want to, and I don't have to, so drop it." Yeah I know, I was being a jerk. Now just so you know I am a seat belt wearer and always have been. I choose to wear one to save myself from becoming a human projectile through the windshield. But for some reason I took exception that night to being told what to do.
That incident, unfortunately, mushroomed into a larger argument between Steph and me. After the dust settled, an uncomfortable silence accompanied us on our long journey home.
At that moment in the dashboard illuminated darkness, the cosmos, the subconscious, the source of all things, whatever you call it, showed up to slap me upside the head! My quest to understand the ego had leapt off the pages of a university text book and become a real life movie with me in the starring role. I had taken the affection I had for the beautiful woman I loved, plus the affection she had for me, and traded it all in for my need to be in control, my need to be right and my need to win the seatbelt battle. I had come face to face with my own inner beast, my ego, and all of its scheming manipulations and pettiness. All for the sake of…ME.
In the exploration of your ego don't judge it, simply become aware of this nature of yourself. You are simply shining a bright light of personal awareness on a hidden part of your existence that will eventually set you free of it.
Have you jeopardized relationships in your personal life or in your career for the sake of being right or wanting to win? When you really examine it are not being right and winning rather lonely victories at times?
NEXT: Discover a part of you that may be keeping you from the love, success and happiness you desire. This discovery will set you free! GO>>>
Take the sting out of "stressful" events.
Imagine for a moment that you want to travel across town.
You hop into your car and head out on your way. Very soon you have to make a turn onto another road. You become annoyed and angry at having to change direction. Eventually though you have to make another turn, and another and yet another.
You pull your car over to the side of the road get out shake your fist in the air and scream: "Why?! Why?! Why do I always have to turn all these corners? It's not fair. I've worked so hard to get to where I'm going. Why can't I just travel straight there without having to turn all the time?!"
Your journey through life
Now think of the journey across town as your journey through life and think of the corners as the points in life we might call failures. Lost jobs and careers, business start-ups that didn't work out, broken marriages and relationships.
Life is one long continuous journey. A journey that we unconsciously segment into events. Weddings, birthdays, trips to the beach, break-ups, being let go from your job. All of life's events have one thing in common with the street corners from my story. They contain no emotion until we inject it into them. We are, for the most part, unaware that we're injecting that emotion. To us certain events are fun, happy, good. Other events are stressful, difficult, bad.
Weddings, birthdays and trips to the beach are simply just events until we make something of them. Life can be more enjoyable when you begin to realize that you could say the same thing about break-ups and being fired. Seeing yourself more as an author of your life rather than a reporter may not make being fired or breaking up with someone more fun and enjoyable, but it can take the intense sting out of certain events. It can allow you to rebound much quicker.
Labels are for clothes not your magnificent life!
Therefore an event we label as a failure is nothing more than the turning of a corner on the journey through life. It's something to be learned from but anything else you add to it is your choice.

Below is the poem entitled Jesus Son Of Man Son Of God which was written by poet
Pemberton. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Jim Pemberton
I wonder what it was like in the
days of Adam and Eve…
The fellowship they had until the day
they had to leave.
What a blessing it must have been
to have a Godly communion…
As they were joined together
in a Godly union…
Their love for God must have been
evident and strong.
Until the day sin crept in
where it didn't belong.
Satan. The serpent… Told them that
they would become "wise…"
Soon afterward, they realized
it was a bunch of lies…
They were cast out of a beautiful
and wonderful place.
But were within the reach
of God's unlimited grace!
From Eve's seed, would one day
be born the Messiah and king.
Whom… One day… Shall rule as
Lord of everything!
This fellowship between God and
man can be YOURS today!
Please listen to the words
our savior has to say!
Because of Jesus' sacrifice on
the cross… You are invited!
Won't you come to HIM now?
Your future has been provided!

There oughta be a law!
One way to make change happen is to pass legislation.
What issues concern you?
Maybe you don't like people around you smoking when you go out to eat.
Perhaps your town has one too many power plants built in it while others have none.
At work, you might not be happy with the long hours and no extra pay.
At some point in our lives, we might have needs that can't rely on society's good will. Somehow, change has to be enforced.
Laws exist to protect the common good. It's your right and responsiblity to try to change them when you see something wrong. Certainly laws come from ordinary ideas about how to make life easier, safer, more fair - but how? That "how" is what the legislative process (and this tutorial) is all about.
