The hotel was in a perfect location, the noise of Espagnola way was not loud and the place was so close to the main attraction. The hotel is clean and fully equipped with everything you need. The staff super polite and simply amazing.
The service here was excellent. Staff were very friendly and gave great recommendations for restaurants, tours, etc. They were very knowledgeable about the area.The hotel was very clean and quiet. We would stay here again!
Stayed at this hotel for 4nights in July and would highly recommend. Its situated in Espagnol Way right next to restaurants and bars and 5minutes walk to the beach. For a small fee per day you have access to bikes, beach towels, WiFi etc. All hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. Nice spacious rooms with great shower. Very quiet. Definitely a great find!
Little hotel on south beach in Espanola way. Street is vibrant at night with plenty of restaurants. Spacious rooms with king bed and large tv. Large bathroom. We will come back certainly!! Crew at reception desk is always very helpfull. Valet parking is available
This hotel is located right at the top of Espanola Way which is the tourist part of South Beach. The street is closed to traffic at 4:00 everyday and it turns into little Europe. All the restaurants set up for dinner outside on the cobblestone street...its awesome. Short walk to the beach through the shopping district which was convenient.The hotel is an old building that is very well kept and the rooms are all updated modern style...beds are very comfortable. The hotel is definitely a boutique hotel. Staff extremely friendly and accommodating. Very good experience, would definitely stay here again.
Stayed at Casa with some friends. What a quaint find! Was within walking distance to the beach and ocean drive. Great value for our money. Lots of restaurants within walking distance as well as nightlife. The place was beautiful and lots of room to move around. We had kitchenette and two bathrooms in our room with a lovely sitting area and partial balcony. The bedroom had the most comfortable king size bed as well. Lovely place. Would definately recommend and stay again!
Casa Victoria is a little hidden hotel down Espanola Way. It maybe small but my husband andI I were were very happy with this place.The rooms were amazing, location: great, a few blocks away from the beach, shopping and VERY close to restaurants!The young girls that work in reception are VERY helpful. the Lady we spoke to in the morning went above and beyond for us-she helped us around Miami and was exceptionally helpful!Thank you verrrrry much

A quick vid, with tongue planted firmly in cheek!
A quick vid, with tongue planted firmly in cheek!
Hello everyone. Just a bit of a pop in to ask for your patience while we fix some of the bugs on the new storefront. Please ignore repeated emails. We are getting everything dialed in.
Also, we will have the email out tomorrow. However, 2014s are live!
Of note, you will need to Register a new Account in order to gain access to the store. Without this, you are effectively without an allocation. This site provides a great deal in the way of efficiency, but it also works wonders with its built in database and security suites. In short, this ticks loads of boxes for where we are moving towards. This will not be the final storefront. It is just the first iteration, with much more to follow!
All the best,
Maison Ilan Team
Good afternoon! It truly is an amazing day. While in the general pursuit of refinement and progress, Christian and I both decided to make a few changes at Maison Ilan. For sure, there are always a great many things to do to improve. Over the past months, we started working on developments to improve the customer experience at Maison Ilan.
It is very important for us to know where our wines are going, and whose table they arrive upon. To that end, we are expanding our direct to client business, and will be exclusively direct to client in the USA. Many of you know about the three tier system and what effect this has on wine prices in the U.S.A. This has presented multiple challenges when working with U.S. importers. Therefore we have reserved our right to follow through on furthering our direct to client model.
The way in which we previously offered and sold our wines was cumbersome at best, and truly never aligned with our original goals for going direct to client. Quite frankly, my personal viewpoint of too much technology-based structure being problematic was best left in the winery. We have also learned that with the growth in which we have experienced, almost from the very start, we also need to look further down the road. Fortunately, we have made sweeping changes that will address many of the growing pains.
Without further ado, the online storefront is now finally up and running! Through this site, clients will be able to view and purchase their allocations; research purchasing history (since the creation of the site); track orders (in barrel, bottling and ready to ship, etc); get the latest information on our winery; view videos on current tasting impressions and much more. Receipts and invoices are automatically generated from the online storefront as well.
To be clear, there will no doubt be bugs that we will need to work through while testing this site. However, we are positive that this improved technology will help us provide a better experience for everyone involved!
Now, this is important to mention:
In order to populate the mailing list into the store with updated information from everyone, we have sent automatic invitations to those on the mailing list. This is not an obligation, it is simply an invitation. With that said, the 2013 vintage is now currently available on the site, with the 2014's to follow shortly. Allocation tiers have been partially worked out. The 2014 allocation tiers will be fully fleshed out later. The current allocations are there for each client on the mailing list, regardless of whether you have previously purchased your allocation or not. Current inventory will now be live as well. Please note that allocations are subject to change, dependent upon current inventory.
We appreciate your support of our small family winery and look forward to celebrating many more vintages to come!
Visit the site here for details: Maison Ilan Online Store
All the best,
Ray and Christian Walker
This past Monday, August 10th in Oakland, California. What an amazing experience to have in my hometown on the TV channel that I grew up watching. Big shot out to to Jason Toupes and Keba Arnold as well as the whole KTVU staff!
Thanks again for everything!
All the best,
while we await our new website design, we are working on new ways to enhance the customer experience at Maison Ilan. There are many aspects of our model that will be changing, with a focus on efficiency. At the moment, we are in the middle of shipping out a good amount of wine, to several countries, from several vintages, to both client list members as well as importers. For those interested in knowing the latest on shipping news, please stay tuned to the Shipping News page! All shipping update requests will be directed to this page as it will have a global view of all of the latest information.
As mentioned on the page, if there is a change of address to register, please send an email to us directly with "SHIPPING" as your subject. Otherwise, all shipping information will be updated here as progress is made. It is important for us to provide news as it happens, and not before. We feel this will provide everyone with a clear and accurate view of what has shipped. Along with this, we will contact those that are to receive shipments to confirm shipping information.
VISIT the SHIPPING NEWS page now
Thank you for visiting!
Ray Walker
All of the different pieces of our logistics work have now come together in this one moment that I have been eagerly waiting for. We learned quite a lot while figuring out shipping logistics and have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure we had everything ready to move forward, stronger than ever. That time is now. Pickup is starting this week for a (for us) huge collection of deliveries. If you are waiting for any wine from any vintage, Updates will trigger as each piece is shipped from our winery. We greatly appreciate your patience. We thank you for understanding that this means that we will be exceptionally busy during this period and are focusing on much anticipated deliveries and changes to service protocols.
It took a great amount of work to get to this point with small amount of lumps taken in the process but the tide has officially shifted and I couldn't be more proud!
Thank you again to all of those that have supported us!
All the best!
Ray Walker
Many more updates to follow as the backend logistics come together to bring our US based clients our wines! That is all for now

From Public Radio Tulsa:
On this edition of Studio Tulsa, we learn about the nonprofit program known as Sistema Tulsa. Per its website, Sistema Tulsa"envisions how a comprehensive and inclusive music program can positively impact the social, cognitive, and aesthetic realms of youth development. Supported by partnerships with the Boston Avenue United Methodist Church and the Tulsa Public Schools, Sistema Tulsa plans to provide a model for accessible, ensemble-based music programs that enrich the lives of local youth across varied underserved communities. Inspired by the philosophy and values of El Sistema in Venezuela, the program aspires to grow and support youth musical ensembles that exemplify and nurture the pursuit of excellence and high aspiration.
In this edition of Studio Tulsa, Jose Luis speaks "both eloquently and incisively about the profound ways in which music can enrich the lives of students -- as well as the families and communities of those students."
Listen here: http://publicradiotulsa.org/post/sistema-tulsa-education-enrichment-mentoring-empowerment-and-social-changethrough-music#stream/0
Interview from Public Radio Tulsa
Remarks in support of Sistema Tulsa at TPS School Board of Education
Remarks given at the July 7, 2015 Regular TPS School Board of Education meeting in support of agenda item G-6.
With your permission Madam President:
My name is Jose Luis Hernandez. I am founding director of Sistema Tulsa. I would like to begin by thanking the School Board for allowing me the opportunity to comment on the Memorandum of Understanding that is being recommended today, which outlines a partnership between the Boston Avenue United Methodist Church and the Tulsa Public Schools in support of Sistema Tulsa.
Sistema Tulsa is a brand new after-school music program with an educational impact focus that will launch on September 9th of this year. On its first and pilot year, it will serve up to 80 students representing three Elementary schools—Burroughs, Chouteau, and Lee. These students will participate in the program daily, receive free tuition, instruments, and instruction from quality teachers, some of which are music teachers in the district.
Our program envisions music education as a tool for human development and social transformation among underserved communities. From the Boston Avenue perspective, it is also an opportunity to provide our fellow citizens with access to what we believe can be best described as an "affluence of the spirit."
Our model is adapted from El Sistema, an international arts learning movement now present in 35 countries and in over 90 communities in the United States. The model supports a philosophy of education based on moderating learning experiences within high-functioning, aspiring, and nurturing communities. Research shows that students participating in musical ensembles with Sistema program around the US are improving their academic achievement, developing empathy towards others, fostering integration among their peers, and persevering through the discipline and focus that the practice of music requires.
A few weeks ago, our Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Deborah Gist, sent out a survey to the Tulsa community so that they could help us discern the most critical needs for education in our district. "What is the purpose of K-12 public education in Tulsa?" she asked. 80% respondents said, and I quote, "To help students fulfill their potential and have choices in life."
I see Sistema Tulsa as playing a part in response to that need.
Sistema Tulsa affirms that the intensive study of music framed as part of a social or community experience can help participants develop critical habits of mind that will allow them to be persistent in spite of adversity, produce accurate work, work well with others, and think about their future in a positive light.
We will measure positive gains over time with the help of researchers from the Center for Music in Education in Boston and the OSU Center for Family Resilience.
For the past several months we have been working with Principals, PTA presidents, music teachers, and other leaders to shape the purpose and pedagogy of our program. We've transferred the most relevant practices and ideas from El Sistema in light of our working context. The process has been very rewarding. It has allowed us to plant the seeds for a truly community led program that can also aspire to be a model for partnerships-in-education.
On behalf our program, its advisory committee and funders; our students, families, and staff. We thank the district for all of the support given to this cause. I also would like to thank Rochelle Klein who helped us lead the effort to bring this MOU to the Board today. Also, the district Fine Arts and Music Coordinators deserve our recognition, as well as the lead Elementary ILD Director for supporting our work.I know that we will do a good work together and will look forward to receiving the School Board's feedback and input as we sustain and grow this program over time. We are delighted to formally begin this partnership. Thank you very much.
Charting a Path to Clarity in Sistema-inspired Work
First Published June 19, 2015 on the Sistema Fellowship Center Blog
One of my education systems professors at the Harvard Graduate School of Education recently shared that "People support most what they help create." (Cassidy 2015) For Sistema-inspired leaders and especially those who have delved into program design, applying this simple but powerful aphorism can help them chart a compelling vision for change.
Outcomes are an important piece of visionary thinking, but let us also not forget the value of leveraging people and ideas. This is how we can create economies of scale and bring programs to the next level. We know that music education produces a myriad of social, cognitive, and aesthetic outcomes and there is ample evidence to support its value, yet we seldom focus on music education as public policy. Every single Sistema program in the US and elsewhere has the potential of being an experiment of that possibility. They are producing relevant outcomes at the local level and soon enough researchers and practitioners will collaborate at the national level. The field has the potential of being successful at this practice. To reach such a level of sophistication we must pause and consider what is working and how we can multiply its effects. So my hope for this blog is to draw attention to a powerful framework that can help Sistema-inspired leaders think more deeply about their work and position their practice as relevant interventions that can lead to systemic change.
I am currently working to design a Sistema-inspired program in Tulsa, Oklahoma, that will affirm the value of music-in-education. Our work is designed to serve as a platform to culture aspirations for human development in a group of inner-city elementary level students. To gain dexterity in the process of program design, I've been applying a tool called the "Eightfold Path" as outlined by Eugene Bardach in his book, A Practical Guide for Policy Analysis: The Eightfold Path to More Effective Problem Solving. This tool charts a clear path to conceptualize designs that can be embraced at both the social and political level. The "path" includes several steps: a definition of the problem to solve, collection of evidence pertaining to the problem, identification of alternatives that can solve the problem, criteria by which to weigh the best course of action, a projection of outcomes, examination of costs vs. benefits, and documentation through storytelling. You might have also heard of "logic models" as a parallel idea and found the tool to be useful (if you have not done so, I recommend exploring the Kellogg Foundation's Logic Model Development Guide), but the Bardach approach posits a more contextual approach that invites practitioners to really "see" their work at work in the midst of landscapes of constant fluctuation and change.
We tend to think of policy makers as specialized technicians sitting in an ivory tower dictating how public benefit programs should operate. The beauty of our field is that most Sistema-inspired leaders have the opportunity to take on multiple roles and so many of them might already be engaged in the practice of policy making without realizing it. From that vantage point, the practice of policy making can evolve organically as they make critical decisions in support of the communities that they serve. My hope for these leaders is that they would begin charting and documenting their path for change and inviting others to reflect upon that work. This is a critical piece of a program's sustainability.
The work that we are doing together across the country (over ninety programs and counting) is a testament of our collective vision for change. But we must bring this change to the next level by thinking broadly and transferring ideas and frameworks from other disciplines into our work. Sistema-inspired leaders are adapting a noble educational philosophy that posits bringing music education to the masses but we still have a long way to go to reach our goal. To be successful, we can begin by examining our own work more closely and using relevant tools to test its logic. Local programs can grow stronger when they articulate their goals clearly, establish links with like-minded programs, leverage resources in the community, and bring people together to pursue a shared vision. People will not only support most what they help create, but also what they can clearly understand.
Jose Luis received an Innovation Grant from the Sistema Fellowship Resource Center to pursue a professional program in educational leadership through Harvard University's Graduate School of Education. He currently lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and leads the design and management of Sistema Tulsa.

Feedback from Watercolor Playground and Painted Paper Paradise workshop participants:
"I've been a fan and follower of Tammy/Daisy Yellow for many years and recently completed her Watercolor Playground Workshop. Tammy has a fun and playful style of teaching. She manages to make you feel like YOU can do this. I've always felt intimidated by watercolors-but after taking Tammy's class-the apprehension has been kicked to the curb! (and I love the music she plays during a time lapse segment) Thank you Tammy-for creating this class and sharing your passion and inspiration. It's contagious :) You are a treasure!"
"I love your classes, Tammy Garcia!!! I love how you use color and have us just dig in and get our "feet wet" so to speak. I also would like to give a shout out to Tammy's customer service. Earlier this year I emailed Tammy because I thought I'd missed the deadline for the classes and was so disappointed. She was out of town, but saw I was in distress (my husband was having surgery and I was looking for creative distraction). Tammy took the time to look up my registration though she was out of the country I believe, got back to me lickety split with assurance that indeed I was registered and provided my password and login so I could get started right away! One doesn't forget those types of kindness when you're in need."
"I have never had any formal art training and have always felt deficient for this, and also a yearning to study art. Your tutorials are simple to understand and follow, you give clear and practical guidance and all videos are professional and fun to watch. The system you've developed of sharing and supporting work via the FB page is an excellent way of gaining insight into others techniques, styles and interpretations of projects you suggest. Emphasis is put on the process, practise encouraged and also exploration. You teach vital skills to understand the properties, potential and limitations of working with water colour and emphasise the delight of discovery and free expressive painting. I feel indebted to you, as you reignited my creative flame and gave me an outlet for this vital self expression."
"Thanks, Tammy for such a wonderful & positive experience in your Watercolor Playground and Painted Paper Paradise workshops. As a loyal member of Daisy Yellow for quite some time, I am always inspired by your work, your talents and your ability to teach, coach & mentor in a way that is easy to follow and understand, no matter the difficulty of the technique to be conquered. I will continue to recommend any of your workshops with high marks!"
"If anyone is wondering if Tammy's classes are something you would enjoy, I would respond with a resounding yes! They are upbeat, fun, easy to access, relaxing, enjoyable and much much more. I just signed up for my third one and can't wait for Tiny Museum to start. Tammy, you do a great job, with the videos and behind the scenes! Way to go!"
"What I love about your videos so far, is that because I have a smidgen of knowledge I love how your exercises are teaching us basic steps of controlling the paint without making it boring. We end up with something that is cool to look at and can be used. I don't know if teaching comes easy for you but I would say that you definitely have a knack for sharing in a creative and interesting way! I have learned a ton just watching your videos and can't wait until I dip my brush into water and some beautiful paint. Now maybe I will get those expensive paints I bought out and take them for a spin."
"I really enjoyed this exercise and I am finding that the exercises are really helping me to practice mixing my paint with water to get the right intensity of colour."
"I can't tell you how much I enjoyed doing these pages. My only other attempt at doing watercolor was based on learning from a book, and it was so abysmal I put it away and never got back to it. Thank you so much for these brilliant ideas/exercises, Tammy! I am hooked on watercolors."
"Thank you for making watercolor fun! I was getting too stressed trying to get things to come out like the original picture in other watercolor books. I wish I started with this class first before trying to learn from books."
"I loved doing this and find using watercolours oh so relaxing! I know I will be using this technique A LOT in my journalling to come. I love the rawness and roughness of your work Tammy."
"Tammy, you created such a delightful and fun class for us to learn in and I now have a new "love"!!! Thanks so much for sharing your passion with us all!! It has been so refreshing."
"Your class was like no other I've taken. Maybe because I was so keen on learning how to paint with watercolors, and you really instructed us! I learned so much."

Despite all of the noise about Intel's "death", they still pay that dividend. The question is, do they raise it this year? If so, by how much?
I think they will still raise it this year to keep their streak intact. But they could wait until the 4th quarter to pay it and still keep their annual increasing dividend streak alive. That being said, i am thinking the raise this year will be $0.01/quarter or $0.94/anually.
No...see below
Our financial strength rating for Intel is High. Intel's credit
ratings are mainly A1 or A2, per Moody's. However, if margins
continue to compress and cash decline accelerates, we will consider
a Medium-High rating.
Intel's cash & equivalents and investments totaled $17.3 at
1Q13. Intel's cash & equivalents and investments totaled $18.8
billion at year-end 2012, reflecting $6.2 billion in debt issued in
4Q12 as well as strong cash flows. Year-end 2012 cash was up
substantially from $10.5 billion at the end of 3Q12, which was
down from $13.65 billion at the end of 2Q12; the cash decline
primarily reflected the $3 billion equity investment in ASML. Cash
& equivalents were $14.8 billion at the end of 2011. Prior to the
acquisitions of McAfee ($7.7 billion) and Infineon WLS ($1.4
billion), cash was $21.9 billion as of the end of 2010. Cash was
$13.49 billion at the end of 2009, $1.8 billion at the end of 2008,
and $10.0 billion at the end of 2007.
Total debt was $13.2 billion at 1Q13. Total debt at the end of
2012 was $13.45 billion, as a result of $6.2 billion in debt issued in
4Q12. Total debt at the end of 3Q12 was $7.10 billion. Total debt
at the end of 2011 was $7.3 billion, up from $2.16 billion at
midyear 2011. On 9/15/11, Intel issued $5 billion in debt. Debt
was $2.31 billion at the end of 2010, flat with midyear 2010 and
up from $2.21 billion at year-end 2009.
Cash flow from operations was $4 billion in 1Q13. Cash flow
from operations was $18 billion in 2012. Cash flow from
operations was $20.9 billion in 2011; $16.7 billion in 2010; and
$11 billion in 2009.
Intel repurchased $500 million of its shares in 1Q13. Share
repurchases totaled $5.5 billion in 2012. Intel repurchased over
$10 billion of its stock in 2011.
In each quarter, Intel pays about $1 billion in dividends. Intel
raised its quarterly dividend by 16% to $0.21 per common share in
May 2011, and to $0.225 per quarter in May 2012. The current
rate implies an annualized payout of $0.90. Given strains on the
balance sheet, we are not modeling dividend growth in 2014. Our
annual dividend forecasts are $0.90 for 2013 and 2014.
That didn't come from Intel. So you saying "no, see below" is just your opinion and the opinion of a bean counter that doesn't even work for Intel.
No. Duh. If they are having the borrow money to do a minor stock buyback, what makes you think that they have money to raise the dividend?
we found out in May the last 2 years. I wouldn't be expecting an increase this May however.
i love intel.
the lower the stock goes
the higher my yield goes.
go intel!
re invest that dividend buy buying more is the best option imo. It's like compound intrest. :)

Paul Flint and Brian Green from KPMG's Restructuring practice have been appointed joint administrators to two Burnley-based businesses, Samuel Cooke & Co and Company Fuel Cards Limited.
Samuel Cooke & Co is an independent distributor of fuels and lubricants to the residential and commercial markets, while Company Fuel Cards Limited is a provider of fuel cards to commercial customers. In total, the two businesses employed 98 employees at their base in Burnley. Unfortunately 86 members of staff have been made redundant as a result of the administration, with 12 staff retained to assist the administrators.
Paul Flint, associate partner at KPMG and Joint Administrator, commented: ""The business suffered an unexpected loss in relation to a specific group of customers that impaired asset value and, as a result, placed the business under a significant cash strain. The directors reported this position to the police and it remains under investigation. This unfortunately had a knock-on effect on its sister company, Company Fuel Cards Limited. Regrettably, despite the best attempts of the directors to recover from the situation, they have been unable to find a solvent solution to allow the businesses to continue to trade."
Shortly following their appointment, the administrators completed a sale of the customer list of Company Fuel Cards Limited to Direct Fuels Limited. Direct Fuels Limited and its associated company, Fuelplus (UK) Limited, will continue to supply fuel to customers of Company Fuel Cards Limited following completion of this process and confirm that there will be no disruption to the supply of services.
The administrators are now seeking buyers for the remaining assets of Samuel Cooke & Co Limited while they undertake a formal wind-down process.

Dow Chemical to Offset Olympics CO2
Dow Chemical, which was named the Official Carbon Partner of the XXII Olympic Winter Games, plans to mitigate the carbon footprint of the Sochi 2014 Games using its energy-efficient technologies.
Dow will apply its technology to target areas, such as building infrastructure, industry and agriculture within Russia. Improvements may include adding Dow's air-sealing technologies to buildings and insulation materials for energy efficient and affordable housing, the company said.
Dow also will use its technology to find solutions for sustainable farming practices in Russia, such as reduced tillage to reduce soil erosion, the company said.
According to Dow, specialists in the field note that the estimated carbon footprint associated with hosting the Games will be between 300,000 and 400,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. (See note at bottom of this article.)
Dow will partner with Offsetters Climate Solutions, the official supplier of carbon offsets to the Vancouver Organizing Committee in 2010, to develop the measurement tools to account for the carbon reductions in Russia. ERM, an environmental, health, safety, risk, and social consulting service, will provide critical review for the partnership.
The Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee also announced the winners of Russia's "Gateway to the Future" Sustainability Award. The series of prizes recognizes the best ecological, social and economic projects carried out by organizations involved in preparations for the 2014 Games.
Russian Railways won the best complex project award for its combined road and railway from Adler to Alpika-Servis, which will be used by all the participants and guests of the Games, including people with disabilities. Coca-Cola Company won the best project in the "harmony with nature" category for the creation of the International Black Sea Day. Other winners include Rostelecom, NK Rosneft, the Sochi City Administration and MegaFon.
Organizers of the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympic Games promised during their bid to the International Olympic Committee to deliver the most sustainable Olympics ever. The London 2012 Olympics and Paralympic Games' operations generated 311,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, 28 percent less than was forecast, largely due to energy savings in transportation, venues, IT services and the supply and use of materials, according to a report released in December by the London Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games.
Correction/update: Dow Chemical has informed Environmental Leader that the original estimated carbon footprint provided to us, of 360,000 metric tons, is incorrect. The company has provided a new estimate of between 300,000 and 400,000, sourced from experts in the field, but says this estimate is not official.

No official estimation on the footprint of the Organizing Committee has been released yet. The official estimation should be defined after a through measurement under development by a team of specialists.

'You don't have to dress like a skank to be a successful singer': Ellie Goulding insists her provocative outfits are a choice
She's been hitting headlines over the past few months with the provocative outfits she has been wearing.
But now Ellie Goulding has opened up about the reasons behind her sense of style, insisting that she chooses to wear what she does to look good, and not to get ahead in the music industry.
Ellie told Hunger magazine: 'I don't have anything against being sexy. If a popstar exposes herself or doesn't wear a lot, it doesn't really bother me the way it bothers other people.
Scroll down for video
It's a choice: Ellie Goulding has insisted that her sexy outfits are not to get ahead in the music industry
'I feel like people are less fussed about it in America, whereas in the UK people are a little more reserved. But if someone's making good music, I don't care about anyone else.
'Some of the most successful girls don't portray themselves as sex symbols. Lorde is doing exceptionally well - she's been number one in America for ages and she doesn't dress like a skank. Lily Allen is doing really well and she doesn't dress provocatively. If you make good music, then that's all you need.'
Ellie also said her changing sense of style is down to the amount of confidence she has gained over the past few years.
Role models: Ellie cited Lorde and Lily Allen as good examples of singers who are successful without dressing provocatively
Growing in confidence: Ellie has enjoyed huge success over the past few years but says she doesn't enjoy the rise in fame that accompanies it
She said: 'I think I feel more confident with how I
look and my body in general. I've always exercised and eaten fairly
well, and I've given up eating meat and fish. I feel like I've matured -
I can wear what I want now and be confident.
The full interview appears in Issue 06 of Hunger magazine
'All the awkwardness of my teenage years and early twenties has passed. You just become comfortable and everything falls into place.'
The 27-year-old singer was also quick to dismiss rumours that she is a boring celebrity, insisting that she just keeps the juicier details of her life out of the public eye.
She said: 'Everyone
thinks that I'm a very sensible person that I don't do anything
naughty. They couldn't be more wrong. Actually, I just keep things out
of the press.
'I just don't want anything to detract from my music. I'm quite cool with what people know at the moment. They've got nothing to judge me on apart from my music - and that's the way I like it.'
Over the past few years, Ellie has enjoyed a huge boost in success - culminating on winning the Woman of the Year gong at the recent BRIT Awards.
But Ellie admitted that with the career boost comes a rise in her celebrity status - an aspect of her job she doesn't enjoy as much.
She said: 'My life has become a lot crazier in the last year. I think people definitely recognise me a lot more now and that affects me. I actually get quite freaked out when people stare at me or start taking pictures - I'll never get used to that. I'd enjoy being slightly more anonymous again.
'My life has become so different to how it was five years ago - when I'd finished university and was living by myself in a little flat in Hammersmith - that it's hard to remember what "normal" is.'
The full interview with Ellie appears in Issue 06 of Hunger magazine.
Working out: Ellie says she has become more confident since increasing he fitness regime and cutting fish and meat out of her diet

Can someone put me on to a good evidence - based website with information about:
how children learn to read?
What is indicative of problems?
Comprehension vs ability to read (say) the word
Relevance of pictures in learning to read.

Hi Duffy - I haven't looked at these pages in depth but thought they might help you. I know my son's reading is behind due to his autism and verbal apraxia. His speechie has been helping him with his speech and literacy problems and has also given us activities to do at home. He's 5. If you have any questions about what we've doing please ask.
Posted 20 December 2012 - 07:32 AM
My feeling is that reading will help his speech - it's a visual cue (or prompt, I get confused between the two).
I spoke to his teacher, he is reading well at level 2, including comprehension and answering questions. I'm concerned that this is not far enough advanced for a child who is going into grade 1. Hence I want to educate myself up on the reading with comprehension.
I'd like to know what you are doing with your speechy. Ours has been targeting articulation at my insistence. His quality of the speech tap hat he had was so poor that it was only me that could understand him, and that put the pressure on by his dependence on me.

Slightly off course, my friend, but I think we ASD mammas have to be several steps ahead of the game.
If you haven't already done so, you might want to consider consulting a good educational psych -- one who has experiences working with kids with ASD -- to more accurately gauge your son's capabilities, get a better sense of learning style, and develop strategies that can be used at school & at home to support his learning.
I appreciate that some teachers and schools are hesitant to raise a red flag about potential learning disorders/issues when a child is just finishing their FYOS, but when you have a child with ASD, there's a decent chance that you are going to be dealing with -- at the very least -- learning "differences" throughout their schooling.
I've just seen one too many friends be told not to worry/it's too soon to be concerned when their children were struggling with reading or other foundational skills, only to later discover that there were other issues in play.
Posted 20 December 2012 - 12:21 PM
K, his ABA team consults at the school. I've just checked and his supervisor has her BA in psych, but the other supervisor who works with the older kids has a masters in educational and developmental psych. She also did his IQ assessment for school funding.
His teacher was very quick to give me detailed answers on his reading - it's clearly something she is watching closely and she seemed ok with the level 2 because of his comprehension and ability to answer questions about the text.
It's rather hard to have a conversation about a text with someone who can't speak well, even his speech path misunderstands words he says. But I don't want his (in)ability to talk to hold him back unnecessarily from developing the skill of reading.
So before raising the matter past the cursory 'what do you think of his reading'? I want to get myself better informed.
I was referred onto 'how to teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons' which uses direct instruction. This was by another psych friend of mine, who takes her evidence base very seriously. We are up to lesson 5 and it is more like speech therapy so far (in a good way).
Posted 20 December 2012 - 12:42 PM
Glad that you guys have such good support in the school!
Could you ask the supervisor (the one who is the edu/dev psych) to make some recommendations? I'd be happy to shoot a note out to my outside-of-EB contacts to see if anyone has concrete suggestions for resources.
Posted 20 December 2012 - 12:59 PM
Please ignore me if I am off track here! If there are issues around speech could you give him some visual cues? For example: if I were about to read 1:1 with a child a book about pirates I would ask: What kinds of things might you find in a book about pirates? What do pirates wear/do/say? etc etc If he is having speech issues could you give him some pirate and non-pirate pictures and ask him which of these pictures might be in the book?
At the end of the book I might ask: what do you think might happen next? But you could give him a few options as pictures and ask which of these pictures might be next?
Obviously, level 2 books are not known for their great narrative arcs LOL but you might do better testing his comprehension with pictures rather than words. Sometimes as teachers we need to ask ourselves:What am I testing here? The ability to say the words correctly or the the comprehension?
Posted 20 December 2012 - 01:08 PM
Lyra, your brain works better than mine for ideas. His teacher is obviously focused on the comprehension, but I feel that because his speech is so poor he can comprehend more than we realise. And I want to develop both comprehension and the ability to say words properly. I knew a mum who's son had poor speech, but developed the ability to type his thoughts, then read them back. This worked better for him than trying to directly speak.
K, thanks, ask away. I will follow it up next year when school goes back, I just want to arm myself with a bit of info first.
Lyra, you must be a teacher. Where does level 2 sit for preps in vic?
Posted 20 December 2012 - 01:16 PM
Yes, I am a teacher. But can't tell you where level 2 sits for Vic as I have been out of the classroom for awhile and am a bit rusty on all that. Also, I tend to teach upper grades. My previous school had a lot of ESL students so I well versed in a student's inability to properly get their message across
I like the idea of typing the words and getting him to read it back. The major downside with that is kids can be such slow typers. I would be more inclined to use cards with words on them that he can choose or a combination of picture and word cards ie if I wanted a student to write a narrative I would have some sentence starters, and then some boxes with pictures in. Do you want write a story about a dragon or about space? Each box would have words relevant to that topic and then I would have conjunctions, adjectives etc on other cards. Does that make sense?
Have you looked into cued articulation? That focuses on teaching each individual sound but can be a great boon to kids who are having trouble with forming words
Posted 20 December 2012 - 01:24 PM
Asking a child on level 2 to type would be extremely problematic. They generally don't have that skill yet, nor handwriting ability to that level.
I don't know where level 2 sits in vic specifically but IIRC others on EB have said level 5 is the vic benchmark for end of FYOS. Level 2 seems low for me, but if your child does have speech issues it could indeed be masking his ability to successfully express comprehension and thus move up the levels.
You are probably right in that he comprehends more than has been discovered thus far due to difficulty expressing it through speech. But if that is the case I would expect that measuring his comprehension would have been adjusted to take his speech into account.
This is a website that might help with comprehension teaching and practice ideas http://www.readwritethink.org/parent-afterschool-resources/
Posted 20 December 2012 - 01:53 PM
Sorry, should add, the child who typed his thoughts and read was much older, and it really something that I thought 'we'll good on them for thinking outside the square'. I'm not thinking of teaching him to type yet. Waaaay much more work to do with the speech path.
He was doing PROMPT therapy with the speechy. But she found that he was responding well to imitation when she works with him, so just pulls it out as needed. Next year we will move forward from articulation and tackle pronouns and language use. We were just looking at artic because I was frustrated that my mother couldn't understand his efforts, which must be encouraged.

How children learn to read?
If you have time to read a book (which I rarely do with two children!), take a look at Proust and the Squid. It covers the science behind reading. I downloaded the audio version which was very handy.
Also look at this site which explains the most modern type of phonics, synthetic phonics (the synthetic label can be misleading but it has nothing to do with being fake). This method of teaching reading gets kids up and running from day one and sets them up for life.
What is indicative of problems?
Comprehension vs ability to read (say) the word
Relevance of pictures in learning to read.
This site has articles, research and white papers which will be useful in answering these three questions. http://www.getreadingright.com.au/synthetic-phonics/. This program is also useful for children with learning challenges so you may want to fish around here in general.
Finally, an Essential Baby article which talks about the benefits of reading daily to children as a way to help them learn to read, understand comprehension and increase their word bank.
And if you want to get tips, downloadables and free reading 'lesson' plan ideas (which I just did at home with my two). Sign up for this newsletter:
Good luck.
Posted 21 December 2012 - 07:42 AM
Thanks Ozekid, I've looked at you links. It looks like the book I have is the same sort of stuff synthetic phonics is, perhaps just a little older!
Interestingly enough, even though he was read to heaps as a child he now hates his school readers and I have less trouble getting him to do the lesson plan with '100 easy lessons'. I think it's his style of learning, it is highly structured where as the readers are more unpredictable.
I think, for comprehension I need to find a reason for him to read and give him texts that are outside the prep-level readers. Ideas I have for this are (feel free to add):
Cooking - following the recipe
'Treasure hunt' - hide his toys and he has to find them by reading and following the directions - 'look under the table, open the door'
Work out his interests and get books on those topics
Just as an aside, I read an article of a married couple who both had CP. I recall her saying she felt that too much emphasis had been place on teaching her to speak at the expense of learning for the sake of learning. As much as I want him to learn to speak, I want him to learn, and to love learning.
Posted 21 December 2012 - 10:35 AM
Pleased the links help.
I love the cooking idea! My DD1 had a similar problem with the readers (ADHD child) and comprehension, she just didn't see the point of many of them with random sentences and the ones in the classroom were too easy for her so for a while her reading started slipping. Thankfully for us a local author who happens to write stories about two cats (she looooves cats) did a reading in Dymocks and his has given her a chance to talk about the books with her.
Talking and discussing the books can help with comprehension too. I am trying to encourage DD1 (she is a little older BTW, 8) to write her own stories too and we are discussing the characters, the problem and how it might be solved.
I have purchased a pretty blank drawing pad for her to put her story thoughts on it. Also asked the family to buy books for Christmas on topics she likes. That was hard for some who think the cat obsession should not be encouraged (haha to them)!
