We are pleased to announce the publication of a second book in our excellent Hour-Long Shakespeare series.
Abridged specifically for all those interested in Shakespeare's plays, especially teachers and students of English and drama, these one-hour performance scripts maintain the arcs of Shakespeare's plots without compromising the integrity of his original language.
What remains are manageable performance texts and the essential elements needed for an introduction to three of Shakespeare's most popular plays.
The editor, Matthew Jenkinson, is Director of Studies at New College School in Oxford. He received his doctorate from Merton College, Oxford. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and the author of Culture and Politics at the Court of Charles II, 1660-1685, as well as many articles on history, literature and education.

Primary Computing in Action September 21, 2015Posted by Alex, Managing Director in New releases.
add a comment
Another excellent new John Catt Educational book goes to the printers this week.
Primary Computing in Action (http://www.johncattbookshop.com/primary-computing-in-action) has been written by Yasemin Allsop and Ben Sedman for primary teacher trainees, in service primary school teachers and teacher support staff to develop their knowledge and understanding of Primary Computing. The book is also useful for parents and teachers, from any country, to gain an insight into what young children learn, when working with different types of technology, from the Early Years Foundation Stage through to Key Stage 3.
Our book includes examples of activities to support readers, as they develop your knowledge and skills, by introducing them to different and exciting aspects of technology, for example Web 2 tools, coding, film, animation and podcasting. There is also a separate chapter, which refers to E-safety and digital citizenship. We believe this guidance should be used to support all teaching and support staff in educational settings.
The book contains a chapter for supporting teachers and support staff in the Early Years Foundation Stage and also includes another chapter called 'Transition'. This has been included to support computing secondary school teachers, with the transition from the primary phase. Within both chapters, there are a wide range of innovative and creative activities, which will help to support all learners.
As Sue Pope, Associate Head of Department, Primary Teacher Education, Manchester Metropolitan University, writes in her foreword:
"The introduction of computing into the National Curriculum for England in 2014 presents opportunities and challenges. For primary schools rethinking how best to incorporate computing into the curriculum this book offers a wealth of tried and tested practical ways to develop children's computing skills.
Whatever stage you might be in your career – from the beginning teacher to subject leader this book has much to offer you as you consider how best to meet the needs of learners and statutory requirements in computing.
"Drawing on the experience of educators with particular expertise and interest in computing and the use of ICT in education, the book includes advice on planning, teaching and assessment of the 2014 Computing Curriculum. Examples in the book show how to make creative use of freely available web based applications, programmes for PCs and Macs, and Apps to design an innovative and engaging curriculum across the full primary age range.
"Each chapter includes structured suggestions for lessons, illustrating how computing can be embedded across the curriculum. The authors introduce an easy to implement rigorous and manageable approach to assessment that enables teachers to monitor and record learners' progress in computing.
"This book is an essential resource for anyone who wants to make the most of the opportunities afforded by the entry of computing into the National Curriculum and is looking for support to meet the challenges this represents."
Primary Computing in Action is published in October 2015. Copies can be ordered via our bookshop at http://www.johncattbookshop.com/primary-computing-in-action, priced £14.99. Please email us via email@example.com for information on discounts available for bulk orders.
Preventing Extremism and Terrorist Recruitment September 18, 2015Posted by Alex, Managing Director in New releases.
Tags: extremism, hanif qadir, radicalisation
add a comment
We are thrilled to have teamed up with Hanif Qadir to publish an essential new book, Preventing Extremism and Terrorist Recruitment.
Hanif is recognised as one of the world's leading specialists in positively transforming violent extremists. He is actively involved in advising and assisting senior policy makers around the globe in reforming key aspects of the Preventing Violent Extremism agenda.
This is an essential book for all those who work with young people in whatever context, and for all those institutions that have a statutory duty to prevent people from being drawn in to extremism and terorism.
Hanif outlines the challenges and realities of the current threats, and the various early indicators of extremism and radicalisation. Drawing on his experience of working with hundreds of high risk terrorist and violent extremist cases, the book examines when and how intervention should take place – and, crucially, suggests what success and failure will look like.
Anonymous case studies from a wide variety of young people demonstrate the numerous push-and-pull factors in play and detail the practical methods and solutions involved with changing permanently attitudes and behaviours. Hanif Qadir is the CEO of the Active Change Foundation. He works closely with a wide range of governmental institutions, most of the UK's Police Authorities, and research academics across the globe, with a view to applying a more sensitive and sensible approach in counter-terrorism strategies.
In 2002, Hanif joined a network of Al Qaida members, after 9/11 and the invasion of Afghanistan, spending most of his time with the network throughout 2002. He then travelled to Afghanistan, and realized that young men and women were being used as cannon fodder in a war that many people knew little about. After a hostile argument with some high ranking Taliban commanders, Hanif returned to the UK to safeguard young men and women from similar experiences, losing their lives and harming their communities.
He has since worked with some of the UK's high risk terrorist and violent extremist cases and has challenged many known figureheads who lead violently extreme groups both at home and abroad. He has prevented a number of people from participating in terrorist activities. In so doing, he prevented those individuals from being killed, killing others or being locked away for many years.
Hanif has a unique understanding and hard won experience of the modus operandi of Al Qaeda and Al Shabab inspired groups and individuals. He is now recognized as arguably the best violent extremist and de-rad expert in Europe and he is called upon around the world to advise on effective strategies to counter violent extremism.
Preventing Extremism and Terrorist Recruitment will be published in January 2016, £20.
101 Ways to Achievement for All September 17, 2015Posted by Alex, Managing Director in New releases.
add a comment
Professor Sonia Blandford leads the award winning charity Achievement for All (http://afaeducation.org) and is listed as one of Debrett's 500 most influential for 2015 (http://www.debretts.com/people/person-today/sonia-blandford).
And in October, John Catt Educational will be releasing four new books by Sonia, looking at how this charity's programme, delivered in thousands of schools across the UK, is making an extraordinary difference to the progress and wellbeing of children and young people, and to the leaders and teachers who work with them.
Take the Lead is a book for school leaders. It taps into their ambitions to ensure every pupil on their register makes progress above national expectations and shares the framework Achievement for All offers which enables them to do that. Packed with ideas and experience from Sonia's team and the leaders she's working with.
Love to Teach takes a fresh look at the challenges facing teaching staff today and explores how they can meet them in a way that optimises both their sense of wellbeing and job satisfaction and ensures that every pupil in their class makes progress above national expectations.
Make School Better looks at the pivotal role all parents and carers can have in their child's experience of education, and the practical things they can do right now to make sure school is a better place to be, no matter what individual challenges children face, and ensures that all children make progress above national expectations.
Don't Like Mondays? is a feast of facts, personal stories and practical ideas from children and young people for children and young people. This book aims to enrich the educational experience for those who find school tough, and to empower them to make a change in the classroom that will not only enable them to progress but which will benefit everyone else in their school too.
More information on all four books can be found here: http://www.johncattbookshop.com/books/achievement-for-all-series
All four titles will be released on October 6, 2015. To speak to Sonia Blandford, request an interview or editorial article, or for any further information please contact Alex Sharratt on +44 (0) 1394 389850 or at firstname.lastname@example.com

The SPD Companion, Issue #004- Adolescent and Adult SPD
June 01, 2006
Adolescent and Adult SPD: Signs, Symptoms, and Treatment
First, I would like to say THANK YOU to all
who completed the site feedback form from last
month's newsletter! That feedback means so much to me, I
appreciate the time and effort you took to fill it out.
For those who are new, or have not gotten around to
filling one out, don't worry, you still can by going
SPD Companion Back Issue #3: The Gift Of Support
It is true that there are fewer SPD resources directed at adolescents and adults than kids. This, in part, is because often the symptoms and treatment are similar. So, it may have been assumed that much of the information can cross over and be relevant to the older crowd. (Additionally, there is less research on adults, but this IS changing!) But, there is only a handful of unique resources specifically for teens and adults regarding identification and treatment with age appropriate activities.
You are asking for help, and support and I MUST respond!
First, the teenagers...I know of many stories in which parents have never heard of SPD until their child was a teenager (if they were lucky enough to hear about it at all). At this point the parent and the child have been struggling for too many years; it almost feels hopeless. Parents have just about given up on their teens because they have done all they know how to do, and nothing seems to help. They are tired, they have exhausted every resource they know of, and used up every ounce of energy they had! Patience has all but faded. Add that to the normal issues which crop up for teenagers, and oh!... well you can just imagine!
I am sad to report that I even know of cases where teens have taken or destroyed their lives with suicide, alcohol or drug abuse just to deal with whatever is "wrong" with them! I have seen the extremes... the child just climbs deeper and deeper into a lonesome hole and loses any potential ounce of self-esteem; or they become the riskiest of risk takers and manage their lives through dangerous stunts and substances, anger, and social isolation. They too have "lost" their chance at healthy self-esteem (or so they think). Oh, it is just heartbreaking to see.
Please, let's not allow this to happen any more! I know I am
probably "preaching to the choir" because if you are reading this you
are most likely well on your way to becoming educated, or are already quite
knowledgeable about SPD. But, this is what I beg of you...spread the
word! Tell everyone you know about it. Tell one, they tell another,
they tell two more, and so on, and so on.
Now, about YOU, the adults...Have you wondered why you have such a difficult time with so many things that seem to come easy for others? Have you been given a mental health diagnosis and treated for that with little success? Have you always felt that something is not right, but didn't know where to turn? Have you been invalidated and misunderstood your whole life for things that you can't control? Do your sensory sensitivities significantly impact your every day functioning? Are you wondering if your "symptoms" are actually the signs of Sensory Processing Disorder?
Have you read Karen's Story yet? If you want to see what UNTREATED and misunderstood SPD has done to a 49 year old woman, read her story! It is guaranteed to make you understand the importance of identifying and treating SPD.
You must understand, there IS HOPE!! It is up to US and IT IS NOT TOO LATE.
Note: Even Karen is getting better! With our help, she has just begun OT treatment and is finding that her delicate skin is tolerating more since beginning the Wilbarger Brushing Protocol! She can't believe that she doesn't need to soak all her clothes in fabric softener anymore, and her nails are growing for the first time in her life because the feeling doesn't bother her anymore! If she continues her therapy, she will continue to notice positive results.
It's time to start listening to our teens AND adults! They are suffering too.
I can't even tell you how many times I have heard a mom or dad say, or finally figure out, that THEY TOO have significant sensory issues after first recognizing and treating their children for it! Now, there are parents trying to help their children and teens when they TOO have difficulties. That's right...put an SPD kiddo with an SPD parent, and WITHOUT treatment or support, we could very easily have a recipe for disaster!
But, let's look at it another way...who better than a parent with SPD to understand and validate their own SPD child or teen?! (Although not yet proven WHY, know that there does appear to be a strong "genetic" or "hereditary" component to SPD. Continued research should be able to tell us more in the years ahead)
So, what do we do now?
First? Education!
Second? Support and treatment!
Lucky you... I can get you started on both.
THE EDUCATION...Based on the "new" categories of Sensory Processing that Dr. Lucy Miller just revealed in her new book Sensational Kids, I have created an Adult/Adolescent Checklist For Sensory Processing Disorder! I do hope this helps you understand and recognize the symptoms so proper diagnosis and treament can begin!
Keep in mind, this is NOT for definitive diagnostic purposes, only to help determine if further evaluation is needed.
Some of you may even be so familiar with
the ways in which you have helped your children (if they have SPD) that
you have started your own "sensory diet". Others of you may, instead,
have a "flash" when you read it... "OHHHHH, SO THAT'S WHY I DO THAT"..."OHHHHH,
I HAD NO IDEA THAT WAS A SENSORY THING". Either way, let's identify it
for what it truly is, get rid of negative labels, get a PROPER diagnosis,
throw away that low self-esteem, and get on the road to "recovery". Once
you understand the "WHY" it is much easier to understand the "WHAT NOW?"!
The NEW Adolescent and Adult SPD Checklist!
If you find that you would like to know more about SPD and how it affects
adults and adolescents, as well as treatment and accommodation ideas, I would HIGHLY
recommend the following books...
How Does Your Engine Run? A Leader's Guide to The Alert Program For Self Regulation
; includes adult checklist and specific sensory diet suggestions!
OK, so you think YOU or YOUR TEENAGER might have a Sensory Processing Disorder
that needs to be evaluated and/or treated? Well, the first place I would
start is by contacting a local Occupational Therapist who has experience
treating kids and/or adults with SPD. Not sure who to call?
Being older is a mixed blessing as far as "treatment" goes. The down side is that these sensory issues were not addressed earlier, self-esteem has probably suffered and life experiences been missed. The up side, however, is that you have coping skills that younger children do not. You have probably, naturally, made accomodations in your life based on your sensory preferences. That may be working well enough, which is great! If it is not, however, we need to help you. If you are having difficulty functioning in any areas of adult "occupation", whether it be work, rest, or "play", then education and treatment needs to happen.
Besides reading and educating yourself as much as you possibly can, I have a few suggestions for support, which IS CRITICALLY important! First, counseling can never hurt. It may be a necessary part of your treatment, either individually or as a family. Let a professional decide. You have been invalidated or misunderstood for so long, it is almost guaranteed to have affected your self-esteem and coping skills. It's OK to get help! You need it, and it should be from someone who understands this disorder. If they don't understand the disorder, at least find a professional who is willing to learn about it. You NEED a good fit and validating therapist!
GREAT NEWS!! We have JUST formed an adult SPD support group!!
You need to know there are many adults with this disorder, that can offer help, support, or just a listening ear. It is a great place to talk to other parents and other adults that truly understand your struggles...
We are proud to introduce...
SPD Adult SHARE! Come join us at:
Also remember that many of the parents in the "All About Kids" group (which is the main support group we have been using) struggle with their own sensory issues as well. And while mainly focusing on helping their kids, you can find them supporting each other with adult SPD issues too...
SID-DSI_AllAboutKids! You can join over 900 wonderful families at:
Keep in mind, our beloved Michelle Morris is owner of both of these groups and does a wonderful job taking care of "her people".
So whether you are in there talking about your kids or you, it's all the same, we are all a big family and support each other in any way we can! Come join us in ANY of the groups for some much needed support!
PLEASE, UNDERSTAND... YOU ARE NOT ALONE. You CAN help yourself and your
child, it's NOT too late!
So, let's get you started "thinking sensory"!!
You need to already know, or TRY, different activities to see which ones produce your desired result. Each person's nervous system is individual and everyone reacts differently to various stimuli. Some activities help with sensory modulation issues, some for sensory motor, some for sensory discrimmination, and some can be used for all three.
Just use the guidelines above, think about
what you typically do to calm or rev yourself up, or what you have
difficulty doing and need some more practice or accomodations for... and
with the help of your OT, you can figure out what is right for YOU!
Wilbarger Brushing Protocol (under direction of OT), weighted vest, weighted
blanket, massage chairs and mats, spandex/lycra clothing under regular

Until next time my friends...bear hugs for everyone!

A chilling December breeze swept through the desolate streets of Osseo, Wisconsin. The first serious snowstorm of the season fast approaching, the wind acting as a warning of sorts. The young man paced nervously from his front door, to the end of the driveway, a cheap cigar clenched between his chattering teeth. How long had he been waiting out here? Common sense would drive the average person indoors, but anxiety had taken over at this point, and he was ready to leave this life behind as soon as his taxi arrived.
Thanksgiving had been nice this year at the Reynold's home. Your typical turkey dinner, a Peanuts special on television, a painstakingly boring game of monopoly, and for the adults, wine to end the whole hurrah. There was some fighting towards the end, but it wasn't anything Little Dave couldn't handle. That stupid fucking nickname his siblings had bestowed upon him at birth had been the entire basis of the ordeal. The name was ironic, of course. David was a lumbering 6'3, weighing in at roughly 350 lbs. He'd been large his whole life, and had to deal with constant mockery from every angle. Not only for his size, but people perceived him as…slow. Now at the age of 32, he'd still dealt with it thanks to his older brother and sister. He knew they didn't mean to hurt him, or anger him, to be honest he often wondered why they'd bothered mocking him at all.
"Hey buddy! Let's go already!" the cabby yelled through the window as he pulled up. David tossed the dwindling cigar, and hesitated as he reached for the handle.
"I think I've changed my mind…" he mumbled, reaching for his suitcase instead. The cabby screamed, demanding compensation for the ride over. To which David gladly obliged, apologizing as the taxi sped off angrily. David sighed and made his way back to the front door, deciding he couldn't leave his family on such a bad note. He had overreacted, and besides, this was his house. If anyone should leave…
"Get the hell out of my house!" David screamed as he stepped in. The faces of his brother and sister stared back at him, expressionless and cold. They sat disturbingly close on the couch. A soft sobbing was heard from the next room over. Probably his mother.
"Way to go Mark!" David lurched towards his brother on the couch, lowering his gaze to eye level. His brother said nothing. Only continued to give that piercing, disapproving stare.
"Oh fuck you both then!" he screamed wildly, driving a fist into the side of his brother's head.
The man flew to the floor limply with a sickening "thud" as his skull smacked the floor. Memories flooded David's mind as the fresh purge of blood covering the floor released the foul odor of decay. "Oh my god..." Vomit covered the dead man as David fell back in shock.
The sobbing in the other room intensified as it all came back to him. The fight, the screaming, and the blood. They'd kept yelling something at him. "You can't just stop, Little Davie." His cheeks flushed with anger.
"You can't just stop." David stood up in a panic, and yelled, "You can't just stop?!"
He sprinted to the back room, and the sobbing stopped as he approached the door. His parents stared back at him from the center of the bedroom. The strong odor of death just as prevalent. David gagged and stepped back. What did it mean?
"You can't stop, Davie," a voice sounded from behind. David swung around, only to be greeted with a sick caricature of a person. Impossible features composed a face comparable to something imagined in a schizophrenic's nightmare.
"You can't just stop." And David understood. This was the end of times, and he would be the prophet to deliver the message to them all. The demonic creature beckoned him to follow as it seemed to glitch towards the door.
As David stepped over the remains of what had once been his brother, he saw them sitting on the shelf. His medication. Images flashed through his mind.
"You can't just stop taking them Davie!"
"Little Dave you know what happens when you just stop!" He grimaced as he grabbed the kitchen knife set next to the medication, and continued after his new master.

Overnight in Montmagny.
Day 3 Montmagny to Edmundston (243 km)
The towns and villages such as Riviere-du-Loup and Saint Pascale have grown up along the banks of the river and reflect a complex modern history spanning over three centuries. The cultures of these communities are the legacy of both French and English empires during the country's formative years. Take your time as you travel through eastern Quebec and perhaps stop at any one of the many vibrant towns to experience a true taste of Quebecois culture, before crossing into New Brunswick. Arrive in the small, picturesque town of Edmundston for the evening. Overnight in Edmundston.
Day 4 Edmundston to St. Andrews-By-The-Sea (348 km)
Today journey through the central wilds of New Brunswick en route to the southern shores of the province. The central region of New Brunswick contains some of the most pristine wilderness of Eastern Canada. The vast tracks of forests are home to wildlife such as brown and black bears, moose, wolves and other woodland creatures large and small - it is both an avid naturalist's and casual outdoor enthusiast's dream come true. Arrive in the seaside village of St. Andrews-by-the-Sea where the rest of the day is free to explore this charming maritime community. Overnight in St. Andrews-by-the-Sea.
Day 5 St. Andrews-By-The-Sea
Today is yours to experience a day in the life of an East Coast villager. This bustling town has developed into one of the premier destinations in the Maritimes. Everything from local modern and native art galleries, to interactive salmon hatcheries, to a fascinating aquarium delight visitors year round. If seafood is to your liking, the small restaurants of the village serve up delicacies from the daily catches that are sure to tantalize you. Overnight in St. Andrews-by-the-Sea.

This morning take the short journey to St. John where you independently take a ferry across the deep blue waters of the Bay of Fundy. Disembark at naturally-sheltered cove settlement of Digby, a Loyalist town dating back to English settlers in the 1750's. Named after the captain of the first colony ship, Robert Digby, you can tour several small museums and historic homes celebrating the town's establishment. Overnight in Digby.
Day 7 Digby to Halifax (240 km)
Crossing the width of Nova Scotia, your route takes you alongside the gates of Kejimkujik National Park, an idyllic natural oasis of old growth forest surrounding a large inland lake. Continuing on towards the southern coast, pass by Bridgewater on the shores of the La Have River, followed by a drive through the port of Lunenburg and its Famous Fisheries Museum. On the approaches to Halifax, you follow the northern shores of Margaret's Bay, one of Nova Scotia's largest natural harbours. This harbour is peaked by the famous Peggy's Cove and its iconic whitewashed lighthouses - historic sentries preventing ships from running aground on the rocky shoals that surround the harbour entrance. Arrive in the premier city of Halifax for the evening. Overnight in Halifax.
Day 8 Halifax to Baddeck (350 km)
Today you drive through the centre of Nova Scotia, passing through the towns of Truro and New Glasgow, celebrating their European heritage.

Continue on through gentle rolling fields of the bay area as it transitions into the beautiful Bras D'Or Lake lowlands. Arrive in Baddeck, often known as the gateway to the Cape Breton Highlands. Overnight in Baddeck.
Day 9 Baddeck
With a day free in Baddeck, we suggest a scenic drive along the Cabot Trail into the highlands of northern Cape Breton. The trail runs past lochs and glens settled by Scottish Highlanders and along scenic coastlines settled by Acadians. You will meander through the rugged Cape Breton Highlands National Park, enjoying stunning views of sea-swept headlands, steep cliffs and tranquil beaches. Hiking trails lead into the interior of the park where stunning vistas appear at each turn. Return to Baddeck through the lush Margaree Valley. Overnight in Baddeck.
Day 10 Baddeck to Shediac (425 km)
Today you have another opportunity to stop and visit the small towns on the route back into New Brunswick. If you didn't have the chance on your journey east, perhaps now stop for lunch in the small town of Truro, or watch gravity be defied at the Magnetic Hill in Moncton where your car will appear to roll uphill. Stay a little longer and visit the adjacent Magnetic Hill Zoo with creatures both unique to Canada and from around the world. Continue on to Shediac where you might wish to treat yourself to a lobster dinner at one of the local restaurants. Overnight in Shediac.
Day 11 Shediac to Caraquet (271 km)
Heading up the coast of New Brunswick you may choose to visit Bouctouche Bay Eco-Tourism Site, preserving and restoring one of the few remaining great sand dunes on the north-eastern coastline of North America. Alternatively, you may wish to consider stopping at the Kouchibouguac National Park visitor centre for an interactive presentation of the wide variety of forests, marshes and lagoons indicative of the Maritime Plain ecosystem. Continue on to Caraquet where the remainder of the day is yours to explore this pleasant waterside community of the shores of Chaleur Bay. Overnight in Caraquet.
Day 12 Caraquet to Perce (422 km)
Today the road follows the southern shores of the Baie des Chaleurs and the original lands of the Acadian people who were among those expelled from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in 1760. Passing through seaside resort town of Bonaventure, you may wish to visit the Acadian Historical Museum of Quebec, featuring the art and cultural artifacts of that displaced community. Crossing the provincial border back into Quebec, you arrive in Percé. Overlooking the waters of the river, this commercial centre of the Gaspe Peninsula marks where Jacques Cartier first took possession of the land for France in 1534. Overnight on Percé.
Day 13 Perce
Once the largest fishing port in the Gaspé Peninsula, Percé is now the gem of the entire Gaspé region as a resort and tourist town and renowned for the extraordinary beauty of its surroundings. Its prominent geological feature is a great rock pierced with a hole, from which the community derived its name. The town has a delightful selection of restaurants and cafes, some of the best in the region as well as a summer theatre programme and a boardwalk that stretches along the south beach. At the wharf you can watch the fishermen cleaning their daily catch. Overnight in Percé.
Day 14 Perce to Matane (355 km)
Passing by the wide headwaters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, you begin to follow the river of the same name as its waters flow by out to sea. Perhaps divert inland a short distance for a pleasant drive or short outing in Parc de la Gaspésie – one of the most beautiful and accessible protected lands in eastern Canada. Continue on to pass through the lush and historic farmlands of Sainte-Anne-des-Monts, one of the first and most prominent early Catholic churches in the New World. Although most of the original building has been destroyed by subsequent fires over the last 150 years, it has been immaculately restored and is an unforgettable sight for all visitors. Arrive in Matane where the rest of the day is at leisure to discover the charms of this francophone town. Overnight in Matane.
Day 15 Matane to Tadoussac (224 km land only)
This morning you board the ferry in Matane and cross the wide waters of the St. Lawrence to Baie- Comeau. During your sailing, you may see some of the Great Lakes shipping vessels that continue to use the waterway as a viable transportation route for heavy goods into the interior Great Lakes. Upon debarking at Baie-Comeau, the scenic north shore of the river offers a day of discovery through picture-perfect waterside towns. Les Escoumins is considered one of the most beautiful villages of the Haute-Côte-Nord region, located along the riverside at the gate to the Parc Marin du Saguenay. During the summer months, whales may be glimpsed from the shores of the village on their migratory or feeding routes. Arrive in the town of Tadoussac at the confluence of two mighty rivers. Overnight in Tadoussac.
Day 16 Tadoussac to Quebec City (351 km)
Today as you travel into the heart of Quebec, you are retracing the route of early European explores as they pushed into the interior along inter-tribal trade and hunting routes used by the First Nations peoples for thousands of years. Furthermore, the towns and villages such as Beaupre, Baie-St-Paul and Saint- Simeon that have grown up along the banks of the river reflect a comparatively recent 300-year history of both French and English empires, leaving their mark on the architecture and the local cultures. As the river narrows, the spires and fortifications of Quebec City come into view, quickly dominating the riverside landscape. Overnight in Quebec City.
Day 17 Quebec City
Today you depart on a comprehensive orientation tour of historic and modern Quebec City. The cobblestone streets still resonate with the long histories of French and English empires that formed the foundation of Canada. The walled city is one of the finest examples of a colonial fortified city in the world. On this guided tour, you will see the Latin Quarter, the Plains of Abraham, the Citadel, the Fortifications, the National Assembly, Place Royale, the Basilica and other points of interest within Quebec City. The remainder of the day is free to independently explore the sights of sounds of the city. The local restaurateurs have refined dining to a fine art and invite all visitors to sample the indulgent local dishes, or experience the delights of fusion menus that combine ingredients and preparations from around the world.

Music on the LAN with SlimServer
If you have a LAN in your home or office, why not use it for something really important – listening to music?
If you share a house with other people, particularly teenagers, you will have had the experience of looking for one of your CDs, finding it after a long search under piles of clothes and papers, opening the case, and discovering that the CD is not actually in the case. After one too many of these searches, I decided to avoid this sort of frustration by setting up instant access for everyone in the house to our entire music collection at the click of a mousebutton – Jean-Philippe Rameau, Roxy Music, and up-and-coming Welsh songstress Meinir Gwilym would then be at our beck and call! What is Available? Media software for Linux has come a long way in the last 2 years. In KDE, for instance, Juk [1] and AmaroK [2] are widely agreed to be a big step forward in managing music. Such programs allow you to set up a playlist on one PC and listen to it either on that PC or streamed to another location. (In versions of AmaroK before 1.2, the streaming functionality sometimes did not work properly [3].) An alternative to desktop programs are web-based music managers such as Ampache[4], Zina [5], or the more recent Jinzora [6]. These tools are usually multi-user, but on the debit side, they can sometimes be difficult to set up.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- I was talking to Jim Cramer today about the refiners, which have seemed to catch a bid in the last week and a half after having a miserable quarter.Several factors seem to be turning in the refiners favor, and there may be an opportunity to buy them after they report later this month. First, there is a rumor the Environmental Protection Agency will drop the volume requirements for ethanol blending into gasoline below the blend wall for 2014 -- a boon for the refiners if it is true. President Obama wants to take the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) away as a political issue through the midterm elections of 2014 and dropping the required ethanol volume that refiners must use from 15 billion gallons to nearly 12 billion gallons for 2014 will help do that. Equally important, there's been a widening of the Brent/West Texas Intermediate spread, which can be seen as a proxy for the margins and therefore the profits of the refiners. While the positive help of this spread won't be felt until at least the fourth quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014, the prospect of this return to solid margins has helped fuel the refiners recently. But there's been clear indication that most of the refiners have endured a very bad third quarter and their results, due to come out at the end of this month and through the first week of November, are likely to be miserable. There, I think, is the opportunity. A bad quarterly report will help to depress shares of refiners including Valero ( VLO), Western Refining ( WNR), CVR Energy ( CVI), Phillips ( PSX) and others. But buying these depressed shares will yield great returns as the positives of the wider refining margins and lowered RFS mandates are felt through the rest of 2013 and into 2014. I talk more about the coming refining opportunity with Jim in the video above. At the time of publication the author had no position in any of the stocks mentioned.

Hi All!!
I am getting married in the beginning of September and making my own wedding cake, which will have hand made and hand-painted (with vodka thinned food coloring) fondant flowers all over it. My question is, how long ahead of time can I make these? I would like to start them now, if possible, since the cake will be rather large (5 tiers) and will have A LOT of very intricate detailed flowers. So, how long in advance can I make them, and how should I store them? Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!!
Congratulations on getting married, neighbor! (I'm one county over)
I'm afraid I don't know the answer to storing fondant flowers, I haven't worked with fondant enough yet to know. But from what I've read here on CC, you can start early, but it wuld be a good idea to mix a little gumpaste into the fondant. It will dry faster and harder.
Hopefully this will give you a bump so someone more knowlegable will answer.
Yes you can start them now and store them in a cool, dry place but NOT in an airtight container as they will get soft. A cake box or shoe box would work fine and keep them out of the sunlight as they will fade. As stated above using 50/50 gumpaste/fondant or adding tylose to the fondant will help a great deal.

We sympathize with Wendell about this, as we've been wondering why we haven't had the latest Mythlore (111/112), and on checking our records this morning we see that our subscription expired with 109/110. But we didn't receive any notice of expiration, nor did we have one for Mythlore last year, nor have we had any notice yet about our membership and Mythprint expiring this month. We'll send in our renewals at once.
possibly Mythlore and Mythprint/society membership are out of sync?
Our membership/Mythprint and Mythlore are out of sync because of past contributions made to Mythlore, which earned extra issues.

Pirate Legends TD is a defensive game that is much similar to Kingdom Rush, but due to its content and advance feature the entertainment value of this game is quite more than that of Kingdom Rush. It's a multiple user profile game and one can create three different profiles at a time. The main aspect of this Pirate Legends TD game is to stop enemies from getting back into the ship. For help, you will have an access to the complete Caribbean map and you need to build various towers on each map to protect ship from enemies.
In the first round of the game, you will be introduced to the major aspects of the game like building units, introduction of the new and defensive powers and later on introducing the new components in the game. As you go pro, many new things will be unlocked and the game becomes much more interesting.
As I said earlier that you have to construct cannon towers to prevent your enemies attack, but to slow them down you need oil tankers. If you don't allow your enemy to come close to, you get an advantage of gaining bonus points and coins. One of my favorites is a tornado, which you can control by tiling your phone or iPad.
One of the most important and advance feature in this game which differs it from other battle games is that your ship actually contributes to the battle. Along with the tower, you get other avenues to protect your ship such as hiring allies will patrol around your ship to protect it from enemies.
Whenever you start a stage, you find an option of easy, medium and difficult. You can select accordingly, which one you want to play. As per graphics of the game, the game is quite smooth and crisp. Both the screen addiction and background effects provide the game with a new look. You can also see the great panda laughing around in the background. As per the sound and music of the game is concerned, it is quite good. You can use allies for the first few rounds only, the first one you get free and afterward it is payable.
The game is compatible with all Android Smartphones and Apple devices. On Apple devices, you can have an advantage of iCloud synchronization feature. So, at the end, the game is a fun game with good sound quality and new features. However the game sometimes hangs down when you use it frequently.

Strategic Conversations Online Course Way More than Just Negotiation Training, It's Career RX
It's crazy that doing a killer job alone doesn't launch people into the positions and places they deserve. It is a huge bummer that asking for what you want sometimes feels selfish and networking feels like bragging. And it's seriously astonishing that so many incredible professionals aren't aware of their worth, let alone how to get compensated for it.
Let's Change All That...
The primary goal of this course is to help you recognize the daily opportunities you have to negotiate, to solve everyday issues and problems, and to increase your value to your employer or business. To that end we'll focus on two types of negotiation: problem solving and salary negotiation.
What Sets Our Course Apart from the Rest
The first few exercises covered in the classroom center around YOU. Your career. Your aspirations. Where you've been and where you're headed. The stories that define you and the people who make up your influence posse.
This exploration and goal setting from the inside out will anchor your experience throughout the course, and bring purpose and intention to the negotiation work.
We come together in four live conference calls to learn—and practice what you learn. And in between calls you'll get access to our private, online classroom for homework, reading, videos and connecting with other participants.
We bring together leadership development practices with the strategies and tactics of mutual benefit negotiation so that you can sink your teeth into practical tools that will get you influencing, networking, and leading with drop-dead confidence and enviable success. Sounds pretty great, right?
Some Breakthrough Things You'll Do in this Course:
- Work through a 10-step strategic planning process for career success.
- Assess your strengths and accomplishments and develop stories that communicate your undeniable, unique value and contribution.
- Explore social triggers that can sabotage your bargaining outcomes.
- Learn the vocabulary of interest-based negotiation and connect it to the conversations you're already having every day.
- Use competitive tactics when necessary without breaking social norms.
- Learn strategies for resolving conflict and improving the effectiveness of teams.
- Explore the social science of negotiation, from cognitive bias to principles of influence, so you can cultivate key alliances.
Be prepared to succeed, and to make your investment in this course pay off before the end of the course (some would call that a guarantee).
Who this Course is for:
- Women who want to ascend to the next level, remove the barriers to success, and deal with the pesky double bind cultural issues (you know, "don't be bossy, but don't be a wimp" or "don't be selfish, but don't be a doormat").
- Women who are engaged in their work and passionate about it—whether you're an employee or run a business of your own.
- Work teams, affinity groups, women's initiatives and even mastermind groups who know that learning to negotiate is key to your personal and professional aspirations.
Very Important Details:
- The weekly conference call sessions are supported by a private online classroom for doing homework.
- Your homework will consist of reading, viewing videos and doing exercises. Expect to spend 30 minutes to an hour in between sessions.
- This is not a talking head snoozefest webinar! Prepare to participate in the practice activities and scenarios in each call.
- Please plan to attend every session. Clear you schedule. Each call will be recorded, but you'll gain more by being there in person.
Yes, You're Ready. Details and Registration HERE.

BearFoot FX Honey Beest OD - Burst
By BearFoot FX
The Honey Beest is an extension of the classic Honey Bee, adding Saturation and Treble to a much loved design. The heart of the Beest is the addition of a pregain booster controlled by the Pregain knob. The pregain booster is not a simple linear booster, but has an intentional uppermid and treble accent that lets you mix the two gain stages to get just the right saturation and treble. The nature and pregain knobs make a wide ranging EQ section. The drive and pregain knobs give full control of the distortion saturation and compression. This also makes the 'big bottom' part of the nature control more useful – turning the nature full left and the pregain full right creates a full range overdrive… sort of like if there was a 50 watt 4×12 Supro — if you like that kind of dynamic dirt but need quicker and thicker honey, the Beest can help .. Voltage Range 5-15v
