We finally get to meet Viola! We are in love!November 6th 2012 10:11 pm
[ Leave A Comment | 1 person already has ]
Saphira's dad again, we finally got to meet Viola, that Ocicat we were thinking of adding to our family. She warmed up to each of us pretty quickly, letting us pet and scratch her. She did not seem at all skittish, and is absolutely beautiful! Meomy and I loved her, and went ahead and paid for her on the spot. We pick her up this Saturday. We like the fact that they actually knew each other and played together before Saphira left to join us.
Well, I did't get abandoned yesterday after allNovember 6th 2012 11:43 am
[ Leave A Comment | 1 person already has ]
Well, I did not get abandoned yesterday after all, daddy got an email from Jesse (my former daddy) that Viola was still a bit skittish, possibly still recovering from her surgery. Their trip down to meet my possible new furiend was delayed as a result. Hopefully soon, I am really getting anxious to see Viola again.
Going to be abandoned again! But for a good reason...November 4th 2012 10:16 am
[ Leave A Comment | 1 person already has ]
I overheard meowmy and daddy talking today, and it looks like they are going to abandon me AGAIN on Monday. You all know how us Ocicats HATE that! But I am going to let it slip this time, since they will be going down the hill to meet Viola, that nice Ocicat who might become my new furiend and playmate. I do hope that they like her; I would love to have a furiend to chase around the house! Maybe we can have competitive fetch contests?
Our alarm kitty went off this morning (at 5:20 AM!)November 2nd 2012 2:55 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]
Saphira's dad again... Think I have mentioned somewhere here that Saphira is usually pretty good about not waking us up at ungodly hours, usually waking when we do. Well, there ARE exceptions! This morning I woke up around 5 AM kind of thirsty, happens to me fairly often. Got up and took a drink, then back to bed. Saphira had not moved from her sleep spot, curled up at my feet. I fell back to sleep, but it was not to last... Woke up around 5:20 to the sound of someone pawing through the bag of kitty toys I keep by the bed, followed by paws pounding across the bedroom floor. Remember she has a lot of toys in here. In addition to a collection of fuzzy mouse toys on our bed, there is a nice cat tree and a kitty tunnel with a kitty cube at each end, and when she tears through the tunnel at warp speed she is NOT quiet! After maybe 20 minutes of this, including several trips across our bed, she seemed to run down and settled back in bed beside me. I reached down and discovered a couple of fuzzy mice beside me that were not there earlier. Suspect she took them down onto the floor, played with them, and then returned them for next time.
Purring because I might be getting a new sister/playmate!October 18th 2012 6:17 pm

I just overheard meowmy and daddy talking, and from what I understand of what they said, it sounds like another sweet Ocicat (like me!) might be coming to live here! It would be so nice to have another spotted furrend to play with!
Saphira wins the food warOctober 2nd 2012 12:37 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]
Saphira's dad again, looks like "Spots" has won the battle of the kitty food. When she joined our family, the breeder said he fed her canned Fancy Feast, so we did the same. I did a fair amount of research, and concluded that dry food, even high quality grain free, is not a healthy diet for cats, due to hydration issues. In nature, cats get much of their water from their prey, and dry food does not provide any water to speak of. Also found that a lot of the cheaper canned foods contain grain products, which cats do not need and give them too much carbohydrates. Also, the cheaper foods can have meat byproducts and other ingredients that are not the best. Knowing this, we have been trying to switch her to one of the higher quality mainly meat canned foods, like Before Grain and Blue Buffalo. The only way we could get her to eat them at all was to mix in some Fancy Feast, and even then she was not eating like she did on her preferred food. This week we finally decided to declare victory for her, the Fancy Feast we are feeding her is not that bad, and an OK food that she eats is better than a great food she won't. She let out a little victory purr. Kitties can be stubborn!
Purring "Thank you" to all my friendsOctober 1st 2012 10:08 am

Purring a big "Thank you" to all my furrends who sent me nice messages, gifts, and furrend requests after my Daily Diary Pick selection yesterday.
I did a little UH-OH on Meowmy's computerSeptember 30th 2012 11:20 am
[ Leave A Comment | 1 person already has ]
Yesterday daddy was working on meowmy's computer, said he was installing something called an "Ubuntu". Not sure what that is, meowmy thought it sounded like a tribe in someplace called Africa. He said he had finished when I put my paws up on his chair to get some attention, like a chin scratch or two or maybe some whisker strokes. I do this all the time, and daddy thinks it is pretty cute. Of course sometimes I jump into his lap and settle in for a nap, but this time I was just checking things out. As he gave me scratchies, one of my hind paws slipped and hit the switch on what daddy called a "power strip, and totally shut down the computer! Daddy was kind of surprised, but was not mad at me, told me it was just an accident and nothing was wrong, and that I am still a purrrfect kitty. I know I am a computer kitty, curling up on daddy's shoulder to look at his laptop in bed, but I think I need to try not to do this in the future.
Saphira does some mothering (by her dad)September 27th 2012 9:22 pm
[ Leave A Comment | 1 person already has ]
I think I have mentioned Saphira's few tiny issues before. One is a fairly common behavior for Ocicats: They bond very closely with their chosen humans, and are very loyal to them, but some kitties tend to bond to one preferred person, and tend to pay attention to that person over any other. Saphira is that way, and I seem to be her preferred human, which does kind of hurt my wife's feelings a bit when she is ignored by Spots. The second is partly a physical issue, her purr is usually very quiet, very hard to hear unless the room is very quiet and one's ear is very close to her.
Upside of being abandoned (which I still hate!)September 19th 2012 10:18 am
[ Leave A Comment ]
Mommy and daddy left me alone (again!) last Friday, something about taking my sister (one with two hind paws) down the hill to the hospital to have the cast and some screws removed from her broken right hind paw. But they must have known how upset I would be, because on the way home they stopped and got me one of my favorite things, new fuzzy mousies! They have already figured out that I like some colors better than others, and this time they brought me TWELVE new ones, and in four new colors! There were blue, green, orange, and girly pink ones, and I love them all!. I was pawing at them before daddy even got them out of the package, and I already have hidden one of them. I do that a lot, that is why they have to keep bringing me new ones. I have my secret stash, and just to keep them confused, once in awhile I bring one out of my stash and put it on the bed when they are not looking. We MUST keep our humans guessing!

One of the most important parts of any e-commerce solution, including Magento, is checkout process. The number of orders is higly dependent on the simplicity, usability and even look of the checkout pages. That's why shop owners often decide to create custom design of those pages in their Magento website. With Magento templates system you can easily customize the look of any page, but in case of checkout, you have to keep some default constructions.
You can find the default template of checkout stages in app/design/frontend/.../.../templates/checkout/onepage.phtml. Here's the fragment of html output of that template:

...

...
...
As we can see, the checkout process is enclosed in an ordered list (

...
). It is quite a good idea, as the order of steps is very important here. Moreover, the default javaScript scripts are strongly related to the html structure (especially to the names of classes – we will look at them later). So it is suggested to preserve this default structure of an ordered list.
To improve the usability of the process, it is a good habit to give a different look to checkout steps headers, depending on the currently active stage. It is an easy task in Magento, because the included script dynamicaly adds or removes class names to the

 elements of

. Those class names depend on the currently active step of checkout:
- no additional class for all next steps after the current step
- class="allow" for all previous steps
- class="allow active" for the current step
A similar mechanism is applied in checkout progress - an additional column containing data of already passed checkout steps (billing address, shipping address, shipping method and payment method). The content of this column is changed dynamically, too, according to the current step. The example below show the checkout progress block's html structure after the "billing information" checkout step:

Your Checkout Progress

Billing Address
|
Change

...

Shipping Address

Shipping Method

Payment Method

The checkout progress is an ordered list, too. The steps that are not yet passed contain only

 title. In the other steps there is a class="complete" added to

 so we can make the titles of previous steps look different then the titles of next steps.
Those are the basis of the Magento checkout page structure. Understanding and remembering that strucutre can be very helpful during custom Magento shop development.

Please check below for the current location and opening dates.
Exhibition Dates:
Feb. 14 - Apr. 26, 2015
Current Location:
Minnesota History Center
345 W. Kellogg Blvd.
St. Paul, MN 55102
About the Exhibition
Modern Spirit: The Art of George Morrison surveys the prolific career of George Morrison (1919–2000), a distinctive and well-loved artist whose works bring together concepts of abstraction, landscape, and spiritual reflection and draw from his physical and spiritual homelands—speaking to both American urban settings and to the solitude of Northern Minnesota. The exhibition features approximately 80 drawings, paintings, prints, and sculptures by this important 20th-century artist. Half of the 80 works in the exhibition issue from the largest and most important collection of Morrison's artwork in the country, the Minnesota Museum of American Art in St. Paul, Minnesota. The other 40 stem from important public and private collections from across the country.
Modern Spirit will tour to five venues across the United States before closing in May 2015: Plains Art Museum (Fargo, North Dakota); Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian (New York, New York); Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art (Indianapolis, Indiana); Heard Museum (Phoenix, Arizona); and the Minnesota History Center (St. Paul, Minnesota).

Well, answering my own question: it works excellently!
Installed the L227WT-PF monitor today on my openSuSE 10.3 box and then
dropped to the command line to run sax2. The monitor was instantly
recognised and runs like a dream.

Vote for Our SXSW14 Panel Picker Ideas!
Elefint has some ideas brewing, and we're looking forward to sharing them at SXSW14 BUT we need your support. Our topics are interesting and thought provoking, and one is even experiential. We promise our speakers are only the best and brightest elefints around. Read on to vote for the one(s) you like!
Topic 1: Inspired Design – Meditation and Creativity
Creativity allows us to break through monotony and express the inexpressible. As creators and builders, we push ourselves to the limits in all respects, driving change through our ideas. Carrying this responsibility requires a big vision, lots of energy, and the ability to face uncertainty with courage and equanimity. We all have different ways of clearing our minds – maybe it's heading to the beach, hiking, cycling – but sadly these activities are too often pushed aside by a lack of time and energy. Even when we do make time, the effects of these activities tend not to last more than a few hours. Enter meditation. Meditation is not only an amazing tool to re-center and clear the mind, it also rewires the way we operate to keep us in a space of creativity, energy and clarity in the long run. The quality of our work and life is deeply tied to the state of our mind. During this session, we'll explore the mind's powerful capabilities and teach practical techniques to help you unplug. CAST YOUR VOTE
Topic 2: Cross-Pollination—The Best Ideas are Still to Come
How many times have you sat in front of your computer, knowing you should be whipping up a beautiful design, stunning new interaction, your best idea yet—but drawn a blank? How often do you find yourself combing the same 3 websites for inspiration or relying on past projects as building blocks for new ones rather than truly innovating? We know all the good ideas aren't gone, but how do we innovate when our creative reserves—and usual tools for refueling them—run dry? The answer lies far from your computer, the folder of inspiration tucked inside your desk, or even your colleagues. The answer lies in cross-pollination, or the notion of combining 2 radically different disciplines, people, ideas, or places to form something that is truly original. During this session, I will present case studies demonstrating successes born from cross-pollination, open minds to its vast possibilities, and provide the tools and resources necessary for attendees to make this method of discovery their own. CAST YOUR VOTE
Topic 3: Walking the Line Between Good and Money
Social entrepreneurship (non- or for-profit enterprises whose primary mission is to create positive change in the world, or "social value") is gaining speed in the business and nonprofit worlds. Social entrepreneurs walk a fine line between the opposing motives of social and financial value. Attracting investors/clients is difficult if the organization is perceived as inefficient or unlikely to make a good return for investors, but donors may be put off by suspicion that a "social" enterprise that is run as a for-profit business will place too much emphasis on profit and not enough on the values they wish to support. Also, for-profits are often ineligible for foundation- or government-funded grants. Additionally, there is an ethical dilemma inherent in a mission of creating social and financial value simultaneously. We will discuss these issues and explore solutions to the logistical and ethical dilemma of staying financially afloat while maintaining the integrity of a social mission. CAST YOUR VOTE
Topic 4: Big Data: Rise above the Buzz for Social Impact
Big data has the power to change the world. But for every new piece of valuable data, a larger pile of useless data obscures it. It's tough work to sift through it all to find the pieces that lead us to greater insights. Organizations and individuals need to understand what stories they want to tell with their data. They need to learn how to gather the right kinds of data and to do so with a strategic understanding of how they can become insightful information tied to a larger narrative. When the right data are gathered in the right way and presented intelligently, that is where the magic of data begins to fulfill its promise. Learn how to understand, process, visualize and communicate your big data – and how to avoid the pitfalls that doom many data for good efforts. We will feature case studies from organizations that are using data to transform their work and share insights from journalists, designers, and social-change leaders who are confronting these issues every day.

How do you show your passion for the Canadiens through social media?
A big hello to all the other Canadiens fans out there.
I'm an unconditional fan of the Habs, a team that in my eyes has already reached mythic status. I'm always excited for every game they play, even if I'm following from all the way from Switzerland.
I never miss the chance to sport my Habs colors, represent my dedication for the team. I'm making it my mission to get as many Swiss people to become fans as possible and to one day be able to visit the Bell Centre to watch the Canadiens play live.

How do you show your passion for the Canadiens through social media?
I love me some Habs!
I've been a fan since I was a kid and never miss a game on TV, especially on RDS because they skate faster in French.
I've also been an avid cyclist for almost 30 years and when I left a career in television my co-workers pitched in and got me a Canadiens cycling jersey which brings both of my passions together. (Check my Twitter pic)
Social media is a great way to keep up to date with Planet Habs and connect with the Canadiens universe.

How do you show your passion for the Canadiens through social media?
I am living in Toronto, but wear my Habs colours with pride. My family is from Montreal, and it's in my blood. We named our dog after Scott Gomez! I write and do graphics for one of the biggest fan-run Habs sites in the world: allhabs.net. I write something about the Habs, every day. I talk about the Habs, every day (Even if no one wants to hear about it!). I tweet, every single day, about the Habs.
I flew in to Montreal for one day to watch game three of the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Washington Capitals. I worked in the morning of the game, drove out to the airport for noon, got into the city, went to the game, then the next morning I had to fly back to Toronto go to straight to work.
THAT'S dedication.
I am pretty sure I bleed bleu, blanc et rouge!!

How do you show your passion for the Canadiens through social media?
I tweet about the Habs almost every day and for sure every game day - I defended habs fans on CBC radio last year and promoted that on my Facebook and twitter accounts - I post pictures of my Habs gear and of the mechants mardis parties we have at my house where we project the games on a huge wall in my studio every week. I'm just generally a huge Habs fan and on social media all the time with fairly large networks
This is me after the habs beat the pens in game 7 (which we watched at the bell centre) two yrs ago - best night ever!!

How do you show your passion for the Canadiens through social media?
I've been an administrator of the Canadiens fan site Tricolore.ca that I'm also a founder of, since 2003. I'm very active on Twitter and also on Facebook. Our Tricolore.ca Facebook page has over 3000 fans and we have nearly 1500 followers on Twitter. We always try focus on the positive aspects of the team, as at Tricolore.ca we're all tired of the negative stance more mainstream media always seems to take when discussing the team. Our social network tries to keep that same positive vibe that many others don't have.
I have two big Canadiens tattoo that I'm very proud of, as you can see in the picture below.
I love the Habs and have always had fun arguing with friends of mine that are fans of other teams – as you can see in my other picture where I'm attacking my friend who's a Flyers fan with my centennial brick!

I'm one of the biggest Canadiens fans around! At a gala held at my school, Lévis College, we got to host one of the school's former-students as the guest of honor – non other then David Desharnais! As you can probably tell from this picture that I got to take with him, I was the happiest Habs fan in the world!
Go Habs Go! :)

How do you show your passion for the Canadiens through social media?
Hello, I live in Switzerland and I'm a big fan of the Canadiens! I love hockey and my friends and I follow all the Canadiens' matches on TV. I often visit the official website for info on the team, so needless to say I'm already looking forward to the beginning of the 2011/2012 season. In the meantime of course when we play NHL, we always choose the Montreal Canadiens as out team.
I take this opportunity to send you with pleasure a concept that I personally designed - this is a jersey for my favorite team ever.
Thank you and GO HABS GO!

I am one of the biggest Habs fan on the westcoast. I follow the Habs on Facebook daily and I love looking up new and vintage highlights on Youtube everyday on my lunch break. This January my wife surprised me with tickets to Montreal and to a Habs game at the Bell Centre. My first time to Montreal and I will never forget it, plus it helped the Habs win! The picture is of my brother, wife and myself before the game at the Canadiens Hall of Fame in the Bell Centre.

I show my passion for the Habs through social media by posting pictures of my 6-year-old son Simon who is one of the Canadiens biggest fans and currently battling leukemia. He got to live some great moments thanks to LEUCAN and the Canadiens Foundation. I've always love the CH but now because of this, I've become a bigger fan than ever.

EMMA - A decade after parishioners of Grace Church of the Roaring Fork Valley first gathered to worship, they will do so Sunday in an actual church - their church.
The long-awaited facility, constructed in Emma, will host its first service Sunday morning after a short dedication service, ribbon-cutting and open house that takes place Saturday, starting at 1 p.m. Everyone is welcome.
Friday, the building was busy with last-minute interior setup and cleanup - the final finishing touches by a congregation that finally took matters into its own hands to build its home.
Since the congregation was formed in October 2002, it had met weekly at the Eagle County Community Center, a government building in El Jebel that opened shortly before the new congregation came together. It was to be a temporary arrangement; the group purchased property in Emma for a church in 2003.
"None of us expected it would be 10 years," said pastor Terry Maner.
Soon after purchasing the Emma land, the congregation submitted a development application to Pitkin County. It proved controversial, leading to lawsuits involving the church, the county and the Emma Caucus - a history that Maner acknowledges but doesn't dwell upon.
"Were not looking back - we're looking forward," he said.
The county approved the application in early 2008 and the building permit was issued in November of that year, just as the country sank into the Great Depression. Construction stagnated.
"We did things at the best pace we could - a few stops and starts," Maner said. "We just kept pecking at it. It really took a huge volunteer effort. It's been an amazing thing to be able to pull off during the recession."
He believes it is the first new church built in Pitkin County since 1987.
Maner credits the work of the church's 140 or so parishioners for completing the task, as well as subcontractors who offered to perform work at generous prices. Church elder Jim Alexander, a roofing contractor, took over as general contractor when the funds to pay the project's original contractor ran out.
"The whole church really pulled together," Alexander said. "It's been fun."
Instead of a few rooms at its disposal for an hour each week, the congregation now has 8,782 square feet in which to study, socialize, celebrate and worship. There is a nursery, pastor's study, four classrooms and a generous kitchen that opens into a spacious gathering area with a fireplace. The adjacent sanctuary, with a vaulted wood ceiling that also extends over the gathering area, is lined with windows and built with acoustics in mind. The building is heated with a geothermal system.
The ceiling in the gathering room and sanctuary boasts a combined 2,200 boards, all carefully spaced in keeping with the acoustic design. Each one was cut, sanded and stained by members of the congregation, according to Maner.
Sunday's inaugural worship service happens to coincide with the first Sunday of Advent. Maner has prepared a fitting sermon.
"The theme is really about coming home," he said.

They came for extra credit, to complete an assignment and for the free pizza.
And during a 40 minute discussion led by Eugene Williams, general manager of KTWU public television, more than 100 Washburn University students who filled Mabee Library for the first DebateWatch 2012 event showed that they care.
Some said they are frustrated by the process. Sick of bipartisanship. Tired of cable news networks that deny bias. Some wanted to hear what the candidates had to say about student loans.
Others were committed to candidates not included in the debates, or not yet on the Kansas ballot.
A few even called out the role of the Electoral College.
"The president doesn't always reflect the vote. If you want to reform something reform the electoral college," said Elaine Januszka, a freshman business major from Kansas City, Kansas. She advocated not voting as a form of protest, which spurred discussion.
In an interview afterward the debate team member said she wanted to see what people would say. "I'm going to vote. It doesn't matter as much as if I lived in Florida or Ohio. But I'm hopeful. That's what can start movements, right? Hopefulness."
Mark Peterson, chair of the political science department, reminded the crowd of the 2000 election, when the Supreme Court stepped in. "There weren't riots when he was elected." In large part, Peterson said, that was the purpose of the Electoral College. "The Framers (of the Constitution) ... wanted to, to the degree possible, prevent civil unrest."
Mabee Library will host Debate Watch events for the three remaining debates, Oct. 11, 16 and 22.

Teacher turmoil - False complaints fallout
–, Wednesday, September, 19, 2007, (12:25am)
Sorry everyone - this is exactly the same story as the previous blog. I have been out of the office for two days and my helpful colleagues put my column up twice. (I am not complaining I appreciate the help.) As there are different comments to each one I am leaving them both up.
HERE is a shocking statistic for you. About 60 per cent of secondary school principls in the UK have had a malicious complaint made about them or one of their staff in the past three years.
The problem is so bad that teachers want police and disciplinary action taken against students and parents involved, the Education Guardian says.
This prompted me to do a straw poll, and three of the four principals I asked had experienced similar malicious allegations at their schools.
The NSW Teachers Federation, however, does not think the problem is so widespread here. While no one is keeping tabs, the union thinks fewer than 10 per cent of schools experienced false allegations in NSW.
But the associated problems are universal. Both here and in the UK allegations are on the teacher's record forever. The idea is while some may never be proved, there could be a very real basis for them.
In NSW, any teacher with two allegations or more, proven or not, comes under close scrutiny. They may even be given duties away from classrooms.
On the other hand, no action is taken against students or parents who make false allegations.
Yes, proving malicious intent may be a legal nightmare, but the point is there is no legal deterrent at all. In fact, there is no punishment, even at school, for students who make false allegations - about anything from sexual abuse to yelling.
In NSW the Education Department's employee performance and conduct directorate decides what to do about allegations.
If they are dismissed everyone involved is notified and that is that. The teacher has to deal with the fallout.
Often the teacher's life has been so disrupted they transfer to another school. And that is the problem.
Many students and parents know they can stir up trouble that may force a teacher to leave. Often it is the families who regularly deal with government departments who are the most knowing of the limits of the system.
I was told of a case where teachers overheard students (including two with police records already) plotting to make allegations to "get rid of" a colleague who had been tough on them. While the allegations went nowhere the students were not punished in any way.
I think that needs to change. In the UK a £1000 ($2300) fine is being proposed. In NSW, a school's welfare and discipline policy could include punishment for false allegations - up to suspension and expulsion - at the principal's discretion.
I would hate to see us end up with 60 per cent of our schools in turmoil over false allegations against teachers.
Have Your Say
No fair-minded person feels comfortable with treatment meted out to teachers who are falsely accused of inappropriate behaviour. As Maralyn rightly points out, accused teachers (innocent or guilty) are in a truly awful lose-lose situation - and, of course, it does not take an Einstein to work out that this factor alone is probably enough to convince many clever young men to reject teaching as a career option.
However, it is simply wrong-headed to hearken back to the past as if it were some golden age in moral (or Christian) behaviour. You singled out a number of trends in western society, and there were:
1 Loss of respect for authority
2 Abdication of authority
3 Loss of accountability for one's own actions
4 Inculcation of "victim†mentality
5 Loss of effective discipline
5 Widespread loss of sound ethical teaching, which in the past has been firmly based on religious, especially Christian, values
The trouble is, Kookaburra, that in the golden past when students and their parents dared not challenge the authority of those in positions of power (especially Christian priests, Christian teachers, non Christian teachers and carers) terrible child abuse occurred, but went unreported and unpunished for many years - in the worst cases serial and institutional abusers destroyed their many victim's lives completely and paid no price, whatsoever.
Certainly, the current system needs to be greatly improved - and lives are still wrongly being destroyed, but your moralising about loss of Christian values is neither productive nor appropriate in this instance.
Also, I recall that one of the first issues you raised on this blog was that schools should to be more responsive to parental imput. I think the current procedures for handing parental complaints against teachers should, at least, demonstrate to you that schools take parental imput very seriously, indeed.
Lastly, how would you feel if your child's teacher was accused of abuse? We all agree that the Department does not have it right, but can you imagine the brouhaha if an accused teacher was left on class? Would you want the teacher to be given the benefit of the doubt when your child (or someone else's child) is involved? These are vexing questions. Aren't they?
Some would ask, who would be a teacher today?
Wed 26 Sep 07 (09:33pm)
Irene you ask some questions that Id like to give a male primary school teachers response to.
So as to answer your questions 1. It depends on who is making the accusations and what evidence there is.
2. As a male teacher do I have to give up all my rights, and just accept if I am accused, thats it for my teaching career.
Before becoming a teacher this issue was the scariest for me chosing a prospective career, and I imagine it still would be for male teachers today. Its become accepted that if I or any other male teacher get accused of abuse that our careers would be over on the spot, innocent or guilty.
It really should never be about benefit of the doubt but about evidence.
There must be a better way to resolve these issues.
Thu 27 Sep 07 (12:51pm)
Irene you said to Kookaburra that you think the current procedures for handing parental complaints against teachers should, at least, demonstrate to him that schools take parental input very seriously, indeed.
I would like to put my family's case forward to counter that comment. Our allegations of systematic bias, victimisation, bullying, vilification, neglect and misconduct causing psychological and emotional harm and educational neglect have not been handled in a fair, impartial or proper manner by the Education system despite us requesting it in every way humanly possible. As a matter of fact the allegations have been ignored and covered up and as a result for the past 7 years our 4 children have been targeted at different times and our family have been through hell - whilst everybody looks on.
The whole problem with the system is that there is no process where the parties can sit down with independent persons and present their issues and grievances and evidence openly so as to get to the truth and resolve the problem and hold those responsible to account.
If the Department were innocent wouldn't you think that they would welcome an opportunity to clear the air, resolve the issues and ensure that the children are safe?
Why do people not have a problem when children and parents are unfairly accused or even targeted and victimised. Don't children and parents count? Surely we should all be entitled to an equal right to be treated fairly and with respect given that we are all but human.
Thu 27 Sep 07 (02:15pm)
Gary, I agree you. At the moment male teachers, in particular, are just sitting ducks and it is particularly galling that while no effort is made to protect an accused teacher's privacy, accusations made against him or her are totally confidential.
I repeat, currently it is a lose-lose process for teachers. The questions I asked were merely to demonstrate the emotive and vexing nature of dealing with accusations against teachers.
I also take your point about evidence, but as you know, nowadays (as opposed to Kookaburra's halycon times when the opposite applied) when a child discloses information about abuse, it is always treated as the truth.
Lastly, of course, there should be sanctions for vexatious allegations. A vexatious family or accuser should be forced to change schools, at the very least - and wrongly accused teachers should be entitled to financial compensation for distress and loss of future earnings.
Thu 27 Sep 07 (02:16pm)
Hi Gary of Campbelltown,
Your comments to Irene, about the critical importance of evidence when dealing fairly with allegations made against teaching staff, are good to see.
I'm not sure if you saw my response to you on the parallel blog on this same issue. I'm really pleased that you are pointing out the very obvious injustices that can, and do occur, especially to male teachers who have been unfortunate enough to experience the life changing effects of false allegations against them. I think Irene, however, is actually aware of the problem even if it appears otherwise by her "benefit of the doubt" remarks. Am I right Irene?
NSW DET seems to have no concept of treating evidence to standards of proof accepted along lines of the Bringinshaw principle (a legal bench mark so to speak) which accepts simply that the more serious the complaint the stronger the evidence must be to establish the complaint on the balance of probabilities. DET's EPAC also have rather odd treatment of risk assessment matters. I am absolutely certain in one particular case risks were compounded by DET action. Who knows how often risk assessment procedures have been implicit in creating greater harm. The Child Protection Team of our state Ombudsman's office seem, from what I have encountered, to merely rubberstamp what has been presented to them by DET. Scrutiny? It's a joke.
The other issue that needs mention here is the secrecy of the stats involved in the NSW DET's, or indeed other child related organisation's handling of these matters. Not even the Fed have got a handle really. As Maralyn pointed out, the actual figures here in NSW are conveniently unavailable.
Thu 27 Sep 07 (02:25pm)
Since you have shared with us many details of your journey along the way, I think it has long been clear that the Department takes you and your family very seriously, indeed. It just does not agree with you.
Thu 27 Sep 07 (02:28pm)
I appreciate the more moderate tone of your last comments addressed to me (Wed 26 Sep 07, 08:33pm). Let's keep it that way. You may find that you and I actually benefit each other - iron sharpens iron, as the proverb goes - and others listening in may benefit too.
I actually agree with quite a bit of your thinking there. I want to respond further, but don't have the time right now. I will later (DV!).
Thu 27 Sep 07 (02:45pm)
Irene and you know this information about what the Department thinks and feels - HOW?
I didn't' realise that the Department can just decide to not agree (or not want to accept the complaints) and on the basis of that they can justify ignoring the complainants and denying the complainant procedural fairness and natural justice. Wow that is some power they have there! I wonder how fair that is considering they base their decisions on the word of those that are alleged to be responsible?
It is concerning because Policy and Procedure require that serious allegations of misconduct against staff have to be formally investigated in an impartial and unbaised manner not just not agreed to be ignored. So if the Department doesn't want to investigate they can just say I dont' agree and that is it - case closed - no investigation required? Surely there are some guidelines and rules in regard to this. Obviously they are being abused.
In that case I could say the same thing to teachers who have been falsely accused and that are being ignored, abandoned or neglected by the Department. The Department takes them seriously but doesn't agree with them and is therefore under not obligation to afford them procedural fairness or natural justice.
Until people start realising that if they can deal with students and parents unfairly then they can deal with teachers unfairly nothing will change!
Everybody should be treated fairly and complaints should be handled as per policy and procedure require and that includes affording the complainant procedural fairness and natural justice and impartial and unbiased decisions.
Thu 27 Sep 07 (03:00pm)
With the greatest respect, the amount of correspondence and the number of meetings you have had with the Department are evidence that it takes you and your complaint/s seriously. That you have not achieved the outcome/s you desire proves only that you are in dispute and nothing more.
Thu 27 Sep 07 (03:36pm)
Irene how many meetings have I had with the Department? Actually I will tell you.
On 18 August 2003 the DET made agreements at the Administrative Decisions Tribunal as follows:
1. That my two eldest children and I would attend the premises of the Department of Education to view the test papers in a secure and safe environment.
2. I would advise the Department what documents were missing and they would provide missing information/documents.
3. Once the above was completed that a meeting would be held to give the
Selective Schools Unit the opportunity to explain the discrepancies and the process.
My children and I attended the premises of the DET on 27(?) August 2003. The three bureaucrats in attendance on the day sabotaged the viewing and we were bullied, intimidated and harassed to the point where my children and I left in tears unable to do what we needed to do. I lodged a complaint and it was ignored.
This is confirmed in a letter from the Ombudsman dated 12 May 2007 wherein he says in relation to this so called meeting (which was just supposed to be a viewing for my children to see their tests and a meeting to discuss the discrepancies was supposed to happen afterwards on another day without the children present) that there is no doubt that this encounter was not a success and that a re-arranging of the viewing of the tests was to be organized. We are still waiting for this viewing to be re-arranged to date.
The Department wouldn't provide us with the information that they undertook to provide at agreement No. 2 and the meeting to discuss the discrepancies at agreement No. 3 has never happened.
The only meeting I have had is recently with the Director General Mr Michael Coutts-Trotter wherein he gave my husband and I ½ hour of his time to tell us how our complaints were impacting on Departmental staff and to tell us that he wasn't going to do anything about the matter.
It is also a fact that on 4 August 2003 the then Minister for Education Mr. Refshauge sent me a letter advising that the processing of the applications for my children and the handling of our families complaints would be the subject of a formal investigation. This has never happened and as a result my children have not be protected and have continued to be permitted to be targeted year after year.
Responding to Suggestion and Complaint forms lodged in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 in relation to fresh allegations of bias, victimization and misconduct with regard to different instances involving different children have been permitted to be handled the same way and dealt with by those we allege are responsible and are being covered up and ignored on the basis that they refer to similar allegations as before and that the matter has been deemed closed?
It really is irrelevant how much correspondence there has been in relation to this matter. We have been denied procedural fairness and natural justice and as a result children are not protected.
Thu 27 Sep 07 (04:36pm)
Rabid ... raving ... whatever. I can take it; I've got broad shoulders. Actually it's not broad shoulders so much as something else which bears me up - something you could only guess at!
I hope you're enjoying (or have enjoyed) your leave. Truly!
Thu 27 Sep 07 (04:44pm)
"It really is irrelevant ..." truer words finally by Jolanda about her case! Note: the objective of this thread is the ever increasing impact of false statements against teaching staff — not in the process of making continued allegations.
I often stop to wonder if Jolanda realises the impact of her own actions in the matter; the psychological impact on her children, her husband and her children; and the psychological torture that must be being endured by hardworking people in government.
Thu 27 Sep 07 (09:06pm)
Ah, but Kookaburra, I did not accuse you of being either a rabid or a raving right-winger. It is you, who must have decided that the shoe fitted.
I am still on working leave - and trying very hard not to get distracted from the job at hand - but as you see, I do not always succeed.
Thu 27 Sep 07 (11:04pm)
As I wrote in my earlier post, Wednesday 7 November is Ban Bullying at Work Day. An international group of bullied teachers and academics have established a group called "Bullied Academics†to support each other. You can find the group if you google "Yahoo Groups" and then type in "Bullied Academics".
I have told the group that I will writeto newspaper editors all over Australia and ask them to mark Ban Bullying at Work Day by publishing an article on a bullied teacher or academic. Recent research suggests that as many as 97.5% of teachers are bullied at work. If any of the teachers on this blog feel very strongly about the false / secret allegations that were made against them, the abuse of Natural Justice, Departmental Policies and Processes, etc. perhaps you would consider supporting Ban Bullying at Work Day by writing a letter to a newspaper editor and describing your experience. You can ask for your real name to be withheld from publication. We can only stop workplace abuse if we raise awareness of the abuse and of the impact that it has on your life.
The stress of the threats and the bullying that I experienced, and the shock of the union organiser's advice that there was no hope of justice, gave me tinitus - a roaring in my ears. After a few weeks of continual tinitus I fell over and my brain felt as if it was not working properly. I was very grateful to be told that I had a hearing loss and that I could retire from what I perceived to be the horror of a corrupt working environment. Later I was told that I had permanent damage to my inner ear. For the seven years since I was bullied I have suffered from dizziness of different types and I sometimes feel disorientated. Bullying really does have a big impact on your health.
We need to tell the public about our experiences and about the ways that workplace bullying has affected the quality of our lives. We need to warn prospective student teachers about the working conditions that they will face.
I spent almost ten years studying through the night to gain extra qualifications. I cannot / will not come to terms with the fact that my career and my health were destroyed in a couple of days with malicious gossip and sticky notes. (The long version of my story can be found on http://www.badapplebullies.com.investigations.htm )
I urge all of the teachers on this blog to support Ban Bullying at Work Day on 7 November. It is the one day of the year on which newspaper editors will be receptive to our stories.
Fri 28 Sep 07 (12:23am)
Annie I totally agree with you in relation to the issue with bullying at work however not just fellow teachers should support this push to stop bullying at work parents should also support this action. The bullying is not always being served by students or parents, often fellow teachers/bureaucrats are the ones doing the bullying. These adults in the school system that are bullying fellow teachers are also often bullying students and parents.
pidgeon of western sydney. If you pick certain words out of a post you can present whatever picture you like. I said the amount of correspondence was irrelevant, especially when it addresses nothing.
False accusations against teachers or false accusations by teachers or Departmental staff it is all a form of bullying. Why should there be any difference who the victim is? Why should it not count just because the targets are children? They are still false allegations in education and bullying by teachers of teachers and false accusations by teachers or students cause significant harm to teachers, students and families and the Education system in general. http://www.stopbullyingnow.com/teachers who bully students McEvoy.pdf
Oh and have you ever stopped to consider the psychological impact of what is being done to my children and that the failure to properly address these allegations has had on my children and in particular given that they have been targeted and neglected relentlessly for years whilst adults who should be there to protect them look on.
Fri 28 Sep 07 (05:18pm)
Sorry about the mistake in the Bad Apple Bullies link above. It should be http://www.badapplebullies.com/investigations.htm
Jolanda, I have never been told what the "secret allegations" against me were, but I am quite confident that I was being bullied by an administrator at my school because of her menacing manner towards me.
Other administrators passively facilitated the bullying, presumably because "not understanding" and "losing" my letters and documents was easier than doing something about my complaint.
I absolutely agree with your point that state public service departments do not willingly conduct effective "investigations". It is so unjust that a teacher has to prove that they have really good qualifications to gain work, but then an incompetent administrator can destroy the teacher's health and their career in a couple of days with malicious gossip and sticky notes.
Fri 28 Sep 07 (06:20pm)
I promised more than I had time for previously, so here I am!
Re your entry of Tue 25 Sep 07 (11:44am):
You seem to like the word, "thrash", which is not related to appropriate measured discipline. As for "thrash ... into submission" - what an alien concept!
No-one was ever brought into submission by punishment, or at least not by punishment alone. True submission only ever arises from love; it is a loving response to the action of love. But true love is not the soppy sentimental ineffectual thing of popular imagination. God's love involves judgement and discipline; love is not the other side of the coin to judgement, so to speak. It actually incorporates it. All His actions are love, including the cross. "God is love" is a uniquely Christian revelation; it's shared by no other religion. Note that this is not the same as saying "love is God" or "God equals love".
Now, it's one thing for God to discipline in love - He is perfect, and another thing altogether for human authorities to exercise discipline. Nonetheless, there are earthly authorities - good and bad and every shade between and often a mixture of both, which (according to Christian revelation) are appointed by God. Their role rightly includes the exercise of discipline. And this means our justice system, our police and our education system, amongst other things.
As western civilisation has largely rejected Christian faith, so our society is gradually descending into chaos and disorder of every kind. Those who are in authority are abdicating their proper authority and those who should be subject to appropriate authority are showing disrespect and rebellion to authority and there is less and less to restrain them.
This is why we are experiencing the current level of false accusations against teachers with such devastating consequences. I can't help but bring theology into this. Nor can I see any solution to this particular problem other than the 3500 year old law which I quoted and explained previously; see my responses of Wed 19 Sep 07 (09:17am) and Tue 25 Sep 07 (01:58pm).
Re your entry of Wed 26 Sep 07 (08:33pm):
I agree that there have been dreadful failures of people in authority and positions of trust in the past (teachers and pastors and priests amongst others) and that the way of dealing with such failures was, in many cases, grossly in error. Immense damage has been done. I think that recent changes to the law and in community expectations have been generally good in requiring training, mandatory reporting, police checks, greater awareness, etc. In the past, the public has had too much confidence in the authorities and applied too little scrutiny to them.
I agree that the scenario you painted does indeed raise vexing questions. If a teacher has been accused of some serious offence and I was a parent of a child in that class, I would be alarmed. But I can't think of a better process to follow than that given 3500 years ago - 2 or 3 witnesses, diligent inquiry - which means considering all the evidence (You wrongly imply that I would disregard "evidence" in your entry of Thu 27 Sep 07 (01:16pm)), and then an outcome to the offending party, either the justly accused or the false accuser.
I agree with you: "who would be a teacher today"? Also, who would be a police officer? Or a pastor? Or priest? You'd have to be called to it, but that's another subject.
Sat 29 Sep 07 (11:43pm)
Annie. One would think that if a teacher was going to be punished for doing something wrong then there would be a requirement that the Department would have to tell you what you did wrong so that you could have a chance to defend yourself openly so as to clear the air and your name! To be able to ruin your career and life and not have to tell you exactly the details of what you did wrong and give you a chance to respond and defend yourself seems unreal and grossly unfair.
Of course this method that the system uses works to make other teachers and/or people believe that you must be guilty of something. It's a process they use to discredit people so that they can ignore thier claims. It is one of the worst forms of bullying as you cannot defend yourself and you are generally ostrasized.
Whilst there are no requirements that the Department afford complainant impartial and unbiased handling of complaints and whilst the Department is not required to maintain proper record keeping and whilst public servants are not punished for destroying documents or losing information they are permitted to do and present what they want.
It is just so wrong and teachers, like children deserve better.

It may suit your personal philosophy to believe that as western civilisation has largely rejected Christian faith, so our society is gradually descending into chaos and disorder of every kind, but that position is hard to justify.
Relative to its population, it seems to me that the world is no more chaotic or disordered than it ever was. Neither is it less moral. Look for example, at the morality of Victorian England - staunchly pious and Christian - but rotten to the core. Jack the Ripper had no trouble finding prostitutes to mutilate. Sexually transmitted diseases were rife. Infections brought early death or a lifetime of disfigurement. Chimney sweeps and child workers were dreadully exploited, while parliament debated pressing issues such as lowering the legal age of consent for girls - so that noble sons could legally access their serving girls at earlier age.
I haven't even mentioned wars - religious or otherwise. War is neither a modern phenomena nor an event, which is averted by Christian faith. I could go on, but you get the picture.
No, Kookaburra, I am very glad that I live in modern times. I am also very pleased that after long and bitter debate, the way has, at last, been cleared for women to become bishops in the Anglican Church. If God is love, as you say, then I am quite certain that She approves, too.
Lastly, my apologies for the long, off-topic post. I'm guessing that, tucked away on page two, most readers won't see it, anyway.

Irene, my goodness it just shows how twisted theology can also pervert the most basic things. Indeed you refer to God as a Woman, whereas the Old and New Testament state that you are wrong. So where do you get your religion from, its certainly not biblical (I guess you will reply with uncontextual references with your own spin on it)
The law finds it source from the bible. The point is that modern lawyers/judges now misinterpret the standards of the law because they think that the bible is irrelevant. But you can't blame them because there is so much twisted theology out there causing confusion. Your reference to God being a she, as you well know is unbiblical. They certainly don't have a Gospel of Irene in the Bible, (obviously God knows better than to have a person who confabulates as a gospel or Epistle author)
I got news for you, Paul, Peter, Luke and John were appointed by God to writethe bible, not you and the left wing ideologs who you seem to side with.

Burst pipe causes massive sinkhole in Madison County
Hole filled; crews still have to pave road
A massive sinkhole opened in Madison County Thursday afternoon.
A portion of Gluckstadt Road was closed near Highway 463 until road workers were able to refill the hole later in the day.
Friday morning, traffic flowed smoothly around the dirt-filled sinkhole where orange cones outlined the work area.
The road still has to be paved, and according to Lawrence Morris, the manager of the road workers, the sinkhole was caused by a burst pipe.
"Thank goodness we were the ones that drove up on it at the time, because there was no traffic coming by at the time it happened. We're taking that old pipe out, the old connector out, and putting a new pipe in," said Morris.

Cayman Islands police have named the 73-year-old American tourist who died while scuba diving last week.
The Royal Cayman Islands Police Service said Sunday the dead tourist was James Klein of Erlanger, Kentucky.
Police said Klein died Wednesday after losing consciousness while ascending along an underwater cliff. He was given CPR and transported to shore but was declared dead at a clinic.
He was vacationing with his wife in Little Cayman, a tiny island in the British territory that is often ranked among the world's best dive locations.

Mount Pilchuck Letterbox LbNA # 24552
|Placed Date
|Jul 15 2006
|Granite Falls, WA
|Found By
|Martini Man
|Last Found
|Aug 31 2006
|Hike Distance
The letterbox is hidden along the Mount Pilchuck Trail in the Darrington Ranger District of the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. From I-5, just north of Everett, take exit 194 onto Hwy 2. Head north on Hwy 204 toward Lake Stevens. Turn north on Hwy 9, and then east on Hwy 92 to Granite Falls. The Verlot Forest Ranger Service Center is 11 miles east of Granite Falls on Mountain Loop Highway where you can purchase a Northwest Forest Pass, which is required for each vehicle parked at the trailhead. Leaving the Service Center continue east on the Mountain Loop Highway for 1.0 mile. Turn right (south) on the Pilchuck Road (Forest Service Road #42) and continue for 6.9 miles to the trailhead.
The popular three-mile trail to the summit and old 1918 fire lookout begins at 3100 feet above sea level and winds through an old growth forest up to boulders and large rocks at the peak. The trail is often covered with snow until midsummer, so the letterbox is only accessible during the summer and early fall. Be sure to sign in at the wooden station after entering the trail head, and then continue hiking up, up, up until you reach the top. On a clear day the 5324 foot summit has spectacular views of the Cascades, Olympics, and Puget Sound. Its a bit of a scramble to get up to, but the 360 degree views from the look-out tower are well worth the climb. Its also a great spot to stop for a bite of lunch.
From the lookout tower, use the west side diving platform. Scramble down the boulders to the dirt trail located approximately 45 degrees off the northwest corner of the tower. Travel down the trail until you spot a large boulder along the left side of the path with yellow spray paint, 60 ft. to Pilchuck L.O. Walk around the boulder until you see the deep crevice on the downhill (left-hand) side of the rock. The letterbox is hidden deep in the crevice under some smaller loose rocks.
While at Mt. Pilchuck, also check out another letterbox at the summit by Green Tortuga. http://www.atlasquest.com/lboxes/clue/index.html?gBoxId=45


text: Posted February 6, 2013 No offense Chuck, but why should we even take you remotely serious? Stats say that Kemba is a top 10 PG, and that is playing next to the worst supporting cast in the NBA (by far -- we'd struggle to get more than 4-5 wins at this point with our non-PG's). How about instead of telling us that we are homers -- tell us why we are wrong and use statistics and back up your argument. I'll be waiting. I'm guessing your response won't be anything more than "noob, Kemba sucks", because you have no argument. I'm not a Kemba homer. I am a big fan of him, but I truly believe that he is a top 10-12 PG (I base my opinions on statistics more than anything). His stats may say he's a top 10 PG, but sometimes stats overlook at lot of other stuffs. But go ask Magic or Barkley if they believe Kemba is a top10 pg, don't be dissapointed to not get an answer you was hoping for. It's hard trying to debate in a Carolina forum. Go outside this place and ask the public for yourself. Don't ask Cats fans. Ask others. They'll agree with me. Not bc they hate Kemba but bc they won't be biased. Kemba is a good point guard but he ain't great. You gotta be better than good to be in the top10. If the experts agreed with you, they'll be saying Kemba was the biggest All Star snubbed, instead it was Curry. And hasn't even heard anyone preaching for Kemba to be an AllStar; save the "Bobcats is the worst team" crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scottish car dealers made a strong start to the year as motorists splashed out on more fuel efficient vehicles.
Figures published yesterday showed that the solid performance seen in 2013 had continued into last month, with a 9 per cent year-on-year rise in new car sales. That was better than a UK-wide gain of 7.6 per cent.
Of the 12,674 vehicles registered north of the Border in January, the top three best sellers were the Ford Fiesta, Volkswagen Polo and Vauxhall Corsa – all small, hatchback models with an emphasis on fuel efficiency.
Douglas Robertson, chief executive of the Scottish Motor Trade Association, said: "We believe that fuel efficiency is the driving factor and that more and more of the car buying public are accepting this."
Across the UK, there were 154,562 new vehicles registered last month, according to the monthly data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). It said sales of alternatively fuelled vehicle rose by 25 per cent.

Home Décor
Home decor is an expression of your personality. There are no hard and fast rules, but here are some suggestions to spark inspiration and to guide you along the way.
First of all, it is important to create a sense of space. With a large room, there is freedom to incorporate expansive furniture, robust light fixtures, large wall hangings and multiple accessories. But in a small room, more attention must be given to the total combination of elements so the space won't seem cluttered. To create space in a small room, take a close look at how much furniture you have and the relative space it takes up. A room that is light on furniture offers more space for accessories and larger decorations. If there is more furniture in the room or the furniture you have fills more space, then less room is available for accessorizing. Simplify to open things up. Put a smaller painting on the wall. Choose a table lamp and ceiling fixture in proportion to the layout of the room. In other words, let the space breathe.
Balance and harmony are key. The components of the room should relate to each other whether by style, finish or both. It doesn't need to be a perfect match though. The connection should be just enough to set the eye at ease. Expensive furnishings can be combined with lower–priced items if the look is harmonious. If a table lamp and floor lamp are of a different style, a similar finish can bring them together as a suitable match. Items of different sizes should be spread out appropriately through the room to maintain balance.
Shape can also affect the feel of a room. Curved items provide softness and a sense of comfort, while straight and angular lamps and furniture suggest a more formal look.
Style is another consideration. While there are many styles to choose from there are three primary ones which usually come to mind; contemporary, modern and traditional. Contemporary design, stresses clean lines, simplicity and functionality. In a contemporary home, track lighting can be used to illuminate large photographic prints, paintings, or other works of art. Lamps might have silver or nickel finishes, and the furniture is usually sleek and sophisticated.
Modern design focuses more on bright colors and bold geometric shapes. The furniture can be both simple and eye–catching. Creative lighting choices like hand–blown glass pendants are appropriate. Similarly styled vases, clocks and other table–top items can be used to accent the room.
Traditional design typically includes items with dark finishes and ornate features. Impressive chandeliers, dark bronze–finished lamps, and decorative lampshades are not uncommon. The furniture often has an antique feel. Ornate rugs, large brass candle stick holders and old fashioned clocks can accent a traditional room.
Whatever your preference, there are endless possibilities in furniture, accessories and lighting that can properly suit your style.

It's been a while since I visited the cows who live on E. Jefferson St. So I stopped by yesterday and we visited. It was nice. They caught me up on all the latest bovine gossip, and I told them about the goings on in the human world.
But then the unthinkable happened: one of them stuck her tongue out at me. I was horrified, offended… and glad I had my camera out. It was cute.

Ready in 1 hour 30 minutes
Savoury, creamy, tasty as side dish or main meal. Very filling and satisfying dish.
2 people want to try | 1 have favorited
Preheat oven to 220 Celsius.
Scrub and halve the potatoes, and boil them in salted water (peel after they boil as it's easier). Immediately peel and slice the carrots into 1/2 inch thick discs, and add to the boiling potatoes.
In a frying pan with the olive oil, fry the chopped onion, cauliflower, chile, garlic, and salt and pepper until browned, about 20 min (watch it while you're boiling and peeling the potatoes). When the potatoes are about done, peel them, turn off the boiling water and add the frozen peas to the same pot along with the carrots (the peas will thaw while you peel the potatoes). Just before you reserve the 3 cups of broth, mix the peas and carrots with the garlic, onion, cauliflower and chile sauté.
Make the cream sauce: over medium heat, add the flour and butter to the reserved potato/carrot broth and stir constantly until clumps disappear. Add milk, yogurt, cumin, nutmeg, salt and pepper to the flour butter broth, stir until smooth and add chunks of cheddar, stirring until melted and smooth.
Finally, layer the ingredients in a large casserole dish or deep baking pan: bread crumbs at the bottom; potato cubes; tuna fish; 1/2 white sauce; cauliflower, pea, carrot, onion, etc. sauté; 1/2 white sauce; bread crumbs to garnish (optional).
Bake uncovered for 30 min at 220 Celsius, until browned. Let cool for ten minutes before serving.
Don't worry about adding too much liquid - the potatoes will absorb a lot and you don't want it to come out dry so err on the side of too much liquid.

GAME: Ottawa Senators at Tampa Bay Lightning.
PLAYOFF SERIES: Eastern Conference quarterfinals; tied 1-1.
TIME: Tuesday, 7 p.m. EDT.
After a lackluster loss in Game 1, the Tampa Bay Lightning finally played like a team out to defend its Stanley Cup championship. Now they will try to do it again.
After taking a game on the road from the top-seeded Ottawa Senators, the eighth-seeded Lightning look to grab a 2-1 series lead as the series shifts to Tampa Bay for Game 3.
Dan Boyle scored the equalizer 5:24 into the third period Sunday and Martin St. Louis got the game-winner less than a minute later to lift Tampa Bay to a 4-3 victory.
St. Louis scored twice in the game, flashing the form that earned him league MVP honors in 2003-04. He led the NHL with 94 points that season but managed only 61 this season.
"He's been so much-maligned all year long but (Sunday) his heart was as big as the building, especially in that third period he played," Lightning coach John Tortorella said.
Brad Richards, the 2004 Conn Smythe Trophy winner, led the Lightning with 91 points this season and had a goal and two assists Sunday to bring his postseason total to a team-leading four points.
Paul Ranger had two assists for the Lightning, who outshot Ottawa 36-24, including 11-2 in the final period.
John Grahame made 21 saves for his first postseason win in three starts.
"I thought we played good enough, we just needed a little more jam in our play, I felt, from everybody and I thought we got that (Sunday)," St. Louis said. "I think we hated that team a little more tonight and when things like that happen, I think you get a series out of it and that's what we want."
The Lightning, who lost four of their final five regular-season games, didn't appear ready to put up much of a fight in this series after falling 4-1 in Game 1 on Friday. With Sunday's comeback win, though, Tampa Bay snapped its nine-game losing streak to Ottawa that dated to Dec. 4, 2003.
The Senators are making their ninth consecutive playoff appearance, but have advanced beyond the first round in just three of those trips.
Martin Havlat scored for the second straight game and set up Peter Schaefer's third-period goal that gave Ottawa a 3-2 lead, but that advantage lasted just over two minutes before Boyle scored.
Bryan Smolinski also had a goal for the Senators and rookie Ray Emery made 32 saves.
Ottawa center Chris Kelly will be a game-time decision Tuesday after suffering an upper-body injury in Sunday's defeat. If Kelly isn't able to go, Tyler Arnason will dress.
The Senators will get a boost from the return of defenseman Wade Redden to the lineup after he missed Game 2 because of the death of his 57-year-old mother Pat to cancer. Redden had 10 goals and 40 assists during the regular season.
"This is something he wants to do," Senators coach Bryan Murray said. "It's something his family wants him to do. He's a big plus, obviously. It's a major crisis that happened in his life. He's a young man who's close to his family. He cares so much for this hockey team. I believe he'll come in and do his best."
Game 4 will be Thursday at the St. Pete Times Forum.
HOW THEY GOT HERE: Senators - 113 points; 1st seed. Lightning - 92 points; 8th seed.
PLAYOFF TEAM LEADERS: Senators - Havlat, 2 goals; Dany Heatley, 3 assists; four with 3 points; Heatley, Zdeno Chara and Patrick Eaves, 4 PIM. Lightning - St. Louis, 2 goals; Richards, 2 assists and 4 points; Fredrik Modin, 6 PIM.
PLAYOFF SPECIAL TEAMS: Senators - Power play: 30.0 percent (3 for 10). Penalty killing: 91.7 percent (11 for 12). Lightning - Power play: 8.3 percent (1 for 12). Penalty killing: 70.0 percent (7 for 10).
GOALTENDERS: Senators - Emery (1-1, 2.54 GAA); Mike Morrison (no appearances). Lightning - Grahame (1-1, 3.03); Sean Burke (no appearances).

Seahawks still feel sting of loss in Atlanta
RENTON, Wash. — There have been certain losses during Pete Carroll's coaching career after which the disappointment has lingered.
A certain national championship game in which Vince Young tormented Carroll's USC squad comes to mind. So does a losing trip he and the Trojans took to Oregon State one year.

Hi all,
I'm a newbie here considering going back to uni, and would love some input
I graduated back in 2006 with a 2:1 in Zoology and for the past couple of years I've been working in my local hospital lab as a medical laboratory assistant. It's an ok job, but it's not a graduate position and I can't progress any further. I could become a biomedical scientist if I went back to uni, but my boss won't fund my studies and I'm not sure it's what I want to do. I really enjoy working for the NHS and desperately want to do something more exciting than sticking stickers on samples!
I briefly considered nursing a few years ago and it's something I'm starting to look at more seriously. Nottingham do graduate entry nursing, and as it's based in Derby- where I live- it seems ideal. Has anyone else gone down this route & cares to share their experiences?
Thanks in advance!
Graduate entry nursing?
|Posted on
|GCSE grade boundaries are here - GO>
I've not gone down the GEN route however i'm at nottingham currently, qualifying in a couple of months and have many colleagues who have. So..any questions just ask!
However bare in mind the curriculum is majorly changing this year!
I'm not a student but a lecturer on the graduate entry nursing course - we have an open day on 12th November where you could come and meet some current students or if you want some course information you can email me - [Removed - please use PMs].
Hi there,
I have just been offered an interview for the graduate entry nursing course at Nottingham next month. Just wondering if anyone had any experience of the Advanced Standing of Practice documentation as it's really confusing me!
Anyone filled one in before/have any knowledge of them?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Congratulations on getting an interview. I've applied too but not heard yet, although I sent my application off two days late so probably will have another month to wait, but getting a bit desperate. Would love an interview to show them how passionate I am about nursing. Have you got much experience Staverner?

Seriously, are Employment Protections that Threatening?
Submitted by Kyla Bender-Baird on Wed, 06/30/2010 - 11:03am
By Kyla Bender-Baird
Did you know that in 37 states it is still legal to fire someone because they are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender? Blew my mind when I first learned this fact. And it continues to amaze me that somehow we are unable to push through basic employment protections for LGBT employee at the federal level. Instead, we are left with a patchwork of state and local laws that leave the majority of U.S. workers vulnerable to sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination. Once again this year, Congress failed to pass the Employment Nondiscrimination Act (ENDA). As Rea Carey, Executive Director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, points out in the video below, advocates have been pushing for basic protections for 36 years. That's ten years longer than I've been alive!
Tired of this routine, some people are organizing to make this summer "the equality summer." Jude Stevens, a straight, cisgender ally issued a call to action on The Bilerico Project yesterday:
We will not march on Washington D.C. Washington D.C. will come to us. We need one to five people from every state to visit their Senators. We need one to five people from every Congressional District to visit their representatives.
To learn more, read the rest of Jude's piece. Then visit the Facebook group, ENDA Summer 2010, to get involved.
