Proud member of the National Speakers Association. Keynote and Motivational Speaking on stress, wellness, communication, resilience, work/life balance, nutriition and perception. TEDx speaker.
**Conquer your Stress to enhance health and build resilience.
It's estimated that stress is responsible for 60-90% of doctor's visits and according the American Institute of Stress, one million workers miss work each day because of stress, costing companies $602 per employee per year.
We have to recognize that stress isn't the problem though, it's our reaction to it and that we can control. Learn cutting edge self-care techniques such as affirmations, visualization, mindfulness techniques and mini-meditations that staff can do on their own for better health. A stress-free staff is a productive, healthy and patient staff. This presentation is based on Dr. Gruver's award-winning book, Conquer your Stress with Mind/Body Techniques. A sought after expert on the subject of stress and well-being, Gruver will share her decades of experience and you will walk away inspired to make positive changes in your life, your company and your staff.
-Learn to recognize the emotional, physical and behavioral signs of stress.
-Examine current research on meditation, positive self-talk and visualization and how it can be incorporated into your workday.
-Learn a simple technique called a mini-meditation to stop the stress response in its tracks.
-See how you can use your daydreams to boost immune function and increase relaxation
-Find out how to incorporate mindfulness into your day even if you think you don't have time.
Go For It! Finding inspiration in everyday life. (Keynote)
After losing her mom at the young age of 18, Dr. Gruver vowed to live her life to its fullest every moment, and learning to say yes to every opportunity. The perfect combination of formal learning and life experience combines to offer solid health advice mixed with personal tales of growth, success, failure and adventure. Stress is ultimately about perception and we can make dramatic changes in our lives, but we have to change our minds first. Using practical tools such as meditation and mindfulness, attendees will learn how small daily adjustments can lead to big changes.
After a radio show host learned of a bad trapeze accident Kathy suffered, the host asked if she had a "death wish." Dr. Gruver's response was simple and emphatic. "No, I have a life wish," she said on air. "I don't want to be known for falling down, I want to be known for getting up." Dr. Gruver will inspire you to get up, get moving and live more fully. Having experienced everything from body image issues to bullying, Gruver teaches practical and thoughtful advice using humor and personal experience so that anyone can overcome what obstacle is in their way. You can have more. You just have to 'go for it!'
Attendee's comments, "You make me want to get off the couch and go do something," and "It's like getting advice from a trusted girlfriend,"
-How our perception of stress keeps us immobilized
-How the worst experience can be turned into a moment of growth and learning
-To understand the 'negative' yet live fully in the here and now
-How to ask for what you truly want
-What things like visualization and affirmation can do to improve our lives
-The power of meditation and mindfulness on setting future goals and reaching them.
**Stress vs. Relaxation, The Body's Battle for Health
It is estimated that 60-80% of doctor's visits are for stress-related illness. But we have to remember its not so much the stress that's the problem; it's our reaction to the stress. Learn ways to change your thoughts and words and call upon the Relaxation Response for ultimate healing.
-A history of the stress response and what deleterious effects it can have on our body
-How we can use techniques like meditation, affirmations and cognitive restructuring to evoke the relaxation response and reverse the negative effects of stress like heart disease, high blood pressure and premature aging
-Easy to learn techniques that will enhance health and decrease stress and crazy-making.
-Hear about the current studies from leading universities about the stress response, placebo effect and alternative healing techniques
**Wellness for the Over-Worked Woman
We're living in a time when women are told they can do it all…and we try. Learn about better nutrition choices, weight loss strategy and ways to boost energy. We can do it all, we just might need to add some tools to our tool chest.
You'll learn:
-Nutritional choices to increase energy and ward off afternoon tiredness
-Ways to fit in fitness
-Stress busting tips like mini-meditations to keep you sane during your workday
-Weight loss, depression and sleep secrets to enhance your life.
And it's good for men too.
**Change Your Mind to Change Your Body
With humans having an estimated 60,000 thoughts a day and 50,000 potentially negative, its no wonder we are experiencing more and more illness. Learn how what you are saying to and about yourself affects your health. And discover cutting edge strategies for simple change.
-Examining how our words and thoughts affect our health
-Seeing a clear connection of how our emotions are revealed in our bodies and what we can do to live a more healthy balanced life.

AP Economics Writer
(AP) — Americans' paychecks rose in December at the fastest pace in
more than seven years as steady hiring and low unemployment led some
businesses to pay more to attract and keep workers.
added 156,000 jobs, a decent total that shows that moderate hiring
remains sustainable 7½ years after the recovery from the Great Recession
began. The report provided the last major snapshot of the economy
President-elect Donald Trump will inherit from President Barack Obama.
figures also reflect the job market's vast improvement from the deep
layoffs and surging unemployment rate that prevailed when Obama took
office in January 2009. Last month, the jobless rate was just 4.7
percent, up from a nine-year low of 4.6 percent in November, but far
below the painful 10 percent peak of October 2009. Employers have added
jobs for 75 straight months — the longest streak on record.
so, the job market remains a mixed picture. Hiring slowed last year,
with the economy adding 2.2 million jobs, the smallest full-year gain
since 2012. Job growth averaged 180,000 a month — enough to lower the
unemployment rate over time — but down from 229,000 in 2015.
many people, particularly men without a college education, have suffered
as the job market has shifted away from blue collar work in
manufacturing and mining toward industries that either require higher
skills, like information technology, or that pay less, such as health
care. The proportion of men in their prime working years who either have
a job or are looking for one has continued to drop.
In addition,
the number of part-time workers who would prefer full-time work, while
declining, remains well above its pre-recession level.
Those weak spots will likely challenge Trump as much as they did his predecessor.
people are back at work than at any point since the recession," noted
Jed Kolko, chief economist at the job site Indeed. "However, Trump will
inherit an economy that's riding high but faces long-term challenges.
Fewer adults are at work than before the recession, manufacturing is
lagging despite an uptick in December and the acceleration in wage
growth, while great for workers, could raise inflation fears."
pay jumped 2.9 percent from a year earlier, a welcome change from the
sluggish wage growth that has been a longstanding weak spot in the
economic recovery.
Many companies will likely raise prices to
offset the cost of raises, which in turn would lift inflation. If
inflation accelerates, the Federal Reserve may raise short-term interest
rates at a faster pace this year.
"Pay raises, while good for
workers, represent cost increases for firms," Andrew Chamberlain, chief
economist at employment website Glassdoor. "The Fed pays attention to
Paul Saginaw, co-founder of Zingerman's, a mail order food
store and deli based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, says he thinks hiring has
become more competitive in the past several years. The company, which
has 740 permanent employees, is staffing up to open a new restaurant.
Ann Arbor, home of the University of Michigan, "everybody's hiring most
of the time," Saginaw said. "It's an employees' market right now."
last month was led by the health care sector, which added 43,000 jobs,
mostly in doctors' offices and hospitals. Manufacturing resumed hiring
after four months of job cuts, adding 17,000.
Restaurants and bars
gained 30,000 positions. Transportation and warehousing, fueled by
online shopping during the holiday season, added 15,000. On the other
hand, construction and mining companies shed jobs.
A broader gauge
of unemployment, which includes the part-time workers who would like
full-time work as well as people who have stopped looking for jobs,
dipped to 9.2 percent from 9.3 percent. That's the lowest level since
April 2008.
Though the unemployment rate has returned to its
pre-recession level, the proportion of Americans in their prime working
years who are either working or looking for work remains far below where
it was before the recession began. When people stop looking for a job,
they're no longer counted as unemployed. Those "dropouts" have
contributed to a declining unemployment rate over the past eight years.

during the election campaign that the unemployment rate was a "hoax." He

several manufacturers to keep some jobs in the United States, including
Ford and United Technologies (NYSE:UTX) ' air conditioning unit Carrier.
Even so, and despite last month's increase in factory jobs,
manufacturing employment declined by 45,000 in 2016.

she says. "But we have a strong need for IT developers, data analysts,
and data scientists."
Consumers and small businesses have become
more confident since the election, which could lead to increased
spending and hiring. Consumer confidence reached a 15-year high last
And purchases of costly items like homes and cars have been
strong, though they're threatened by higher interest rates. But if
hiring and wage gains continue, they could offset at least some of the
depressive effects of higher borrowing costs.

Bugs, aliens, and New England's forestsMarch 07, 2017
Dr. Aaron Weed, ecologist and Northeast Temperate Network Program Manager for the National Park Service, discussed his recent work on the biology and ecology of forest pests, how they impact individual trees to entire forests, and what this means for our local forests and the services we derive in a changing climate. Watch a video of the presentation. »
Thirty years of avian studies & storiesFebruary 07, 2017
Dr. Len Reitsma, Professor of Zoology at Plymouth State University, is one of the most colorful personalities around in the ornithological world. Len will interweave his stories and scientific discoveries over the last 30 years into an entertaining and informative evening of a behind-the-scenes look at the life of an avian ecologist and the migrating bird species that he studies.
WildPathsJanuary 10, 2017
Bridget Butler, AKA 'Bird Diva', gives us more than we thought we would ever want to know about roadkill in Vermont. Bridget, Program Director at Cold Hollow to Canada, discussed her innovative citizen science initiative, WildPaths, created to understand how wildlife move across the landscape. We'll never look at roadkill (through your car window) the same way again, and you might just be persuaded to stop and snap a photograph to submit to WildPaths. Watch a video of the presentation. »
Introducing Homo naledi (click for video)November 01, 2016
Suds & Science returned to the Norwich Inn on Tuesday, November 1st at 7pm. Paleoanthropologist Jeremy DeSilva, Associate Professor of Anthropology at Dartmouth College, introduced us to Homo naledi - a new human ancestor from the cradle of humankind in South Africa. Jeremy has studied wild chimpanzees in Western Uganda, early human fossils in Museums throughout eastern and South Africa, and his anatomical expertise-- the human foot and ankle-- has contributed to our understanding of the origins and evolution of upright walking in the human lineage.

The White-winged Diuca-FinchMay 10, 2016
Only one bird species is known to regularly nest on glaciers. The White-winged Diuca-Finch (Diuca speculifera) is not a species of the polar regions, but of very high elevations in the tropics. In the 1950s, diucas were sighted going into a Bolivian glacier at night to roost. Since then very little has been published, and little is known about the species. Beginning in 2003, we have been observing this species in Peru at Quelccaya Ice Cap, the largest tropical glacier on Earth. By 2008 we were able to publish information about the nests they built on the glacier, although not until 2014 did we find active nests. This month we are returning to Quelccaya on a mission to learn more about diucas, as part of a quasi-secret, two-week effort to document every aspect of their lives on film. Our presentation will discuss the excitement and complications of such work, at elevations over 17,000 feet. And if it isn't difficult and risky enough to anticipate the breeding season and document a species for which almost nothing is known, the Quelccaya region has been strongly impacted by the 2015-16 El Niño event. With warmer-than-normal conditions, and snow accumulation at 29% of normal for early April, will the birds nest earlier? Will this be a particularly successful breeding season for diucas? What will we learn about the many other species inhabiting the wetlands around Quelccaya? Join us for answers to these questions and more, just days after our return from Peru!
Climate Change in the Northeast-What is Changing?April 05, 2016
Based on his many years of assessing the vulnerability of natural systems to climate change, Dr. Hector Galbraith will discuss findings about how our climate is changing and how this may be impacting wildlife and their habitats in the Northeast. What have we learned over the last few years of intensive research into climate change effects? Are things as bad, worse or better than we once thought? What species and habitats are most at risk? Which are more resilient than others? What are the important "don't knows", and can we reduce uncertainty?
Timber Rattlers-America's SnakeMarch 01, 2016
When the polls close on Super Tuesday, writer and naturalist Ted Levin discusses rattlesnakes during the Vermont Center for Ecostudies' next Suds & Science talk. Ted will reveal the natural history of rattlesnakes and the history of their checkered interactions with humans. From there, with snakes as a subject, our conversation might range from the status of Timber Rattlesnakes in Vermont to a discussion of climate change. Ted encourages folks to arrive with questions. This spring, the University of Chicago Press will publish Ted's most recent book, America's Snake: The Rise and Fall of the Timber Rattlesnake. Suds & Science begins at 7PM at the Norwich Inn in Norwich, Vermont. As we like to say, "You buy the beverage, we bring the science."
Where the Bobolink Meets the BoobyFebruary 02, 2016
The Galapagos conjures images of giant tortoises, Blue-footed Boobies, and Darwin's famous finches. But Darwin also had in his collection an iconic bird from North America's grasslands: a Bobolink. Each year just a couple dozen migrating Bobolinks stop in the Galapagos, where they are now suspects in the transmission of a blood parasite, avian malaria, to endemic Galapagos birds. VCE Conservation Biologist Roz Renfrew and farmer Jen Megyesi will share with you their adventures in one of the world's greatest natural treasures, as they search for a needle in a haystack (and with needles in hand): Bobolink blood.
Fracking and WildlifeJanuary 12, 2016
Natural gas extraction from shale formations in Appalachia, already a contentious political issue, also raises concerns about the loss of wildlife habitat. As a post-doctoral researcher, VCE biologist Jason Hill and colleagues used the North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) to assess the effects of habitat loss on forest interior and grassland bird species in West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Join Dr. Jason Hill, a quantitative biologist and ornithologist at VCE, and learn about this issue and his work.
Sex, Drugs and Bees: plant chemistry and pollinatorsSeptember 09, 2015
Many plants rely on flower visits by pollinators such as bees in order to reproduce. When bees consume nectar and pollen, they must cope with naturally occurring plant secondary chemicals, substances usually associated with plants' defense against herbivores. Why would plants expose their pollinators to these chemicals? How do they affect bee health? And what are the consequences of plant chemistry for pollination of wild and cultivated plants? Leif's talk will draw on his research in Vermont exploring effects of plant chemicals on bumble bee--parasite interactions and bee foraging behavior. He'll also address the importance of wild bees to agriculture and ongoing efforts to halt their decline. Dr. Leif Richardson is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics at the University of Vermont. He previously completed a PhD at Dartmouth College and served as State Lands Ecologist with the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources. He contributed to the Vermont Center for Ecostudies Bumble Bee Atlas project. He lives in Montpelier. Watch the lecture »
Presettlement Forests of New EnglandMay 05, 2015
Charlie Cogbill has spent a large part of his career studying a forest that no longer exists: the pre-settlement forest in New England and New York. His primary research tools are archives, located in town halls and other repositories, of land surveys made during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Many of these archives contain "lotting" surveys – the survey by which the proprietors of a new town divided the town into lots, which were then sold or granted to the earliest settlers. At each lot corner, the surveyors tended to place a monument, often a post or stake or a pile of stones. They also routinely made mention of a nearby "witness tree." Through statistical analysis and a reliance on his background in field ecology, he has been able to paint a detailed and localized picture of what the forests of New England and New York looked like back when those forests were being settled by Europeans. Watch his lecture »
Revisiting LoonsApril 07, 2015
Building upon one of our most popular Suds & Science topics to date, VCE loon biologist Eric Hanson will host April's Suds & Science program. Just back from a regional meeting of loon biologists and managers, Eric will share new research on migration, translocation experiments, red-throated loons, social chaos, and lead toxicity. Where the stories will go from there is anyone's guess, but it is sure to be an entertaining evening full of lively discussion. We hope you will join us! Watch Eric's lecture »
No one ever steps into the same river twice, and yet...March 03, 2015
A river is an example of a dynamic, 'self-forming' feature in the natural landscape or, perhaps more poetically, 'a carpenter of its own ever-changing edifice'. As such, rivers have captured the interest and imagination of physicists throughout the history of modern scientific thought. Understanding the links between form and process in rivers is especially important today: consider that approximately one-third of all humans currently lives within 3km of a non-urban river; about two-thirds lives within 10km of a non-urban river. As important features of the human environment, rivers have been subjected to increasing demands and disturbance to a breathtaking degree: worldwide, there are currently about 40,000 dams with heights greater than 15m. A dammed river is a discontinuous river, with implications for the movement of sediment and contaminants to the sea, as well as for the health of fisheries and floodplain environments. Now, many existing dams are coming to the end of their useful lives, and our climate is changing. Making informed societal choices faced with these developments requires an understanding of rivers at the most fundamental level: What controls the predictable form of an unregulated river channel? How does the form of a river change with dam emplacement and dam removal? Will river channels change dramatically with a changing climate? Learn about some of the research pursued by Dartmouth scientists and students who address these questions and more. Brian Dade will lead this discussion. Brian is Chair of the Earth Sciences Department at Dartmouth College, and a member of the VCE Board of Trustees.
Chasing the Rain CrowFebruary 03, 2015
Mangrove Cuckoo is an iconic bird of the West Indies and the coastal forests of southern Florida. Widely collected by early naturalists and prized by current-day birders, this species has a rich cultural history. It has been portrayed by Audubon and featured on coins and stamps throughout the islands of the Caribbean. Nonetheless, it remains one of the most poorly known birds of North America. VCE's Director of Science, John Lloyd, has spent the past 7 years digging through museum trays and wandering the mangroves in an attempt to shed light on the natural history and evolution of this notoriously secretive species. Join us as John shares a story of taxonomy gone awry, the value of natural history, and the challenge of gaining new insights into old questions.
Cockatoos Down UnderJanuary 20, 2015
As cold settles in the Upper Valley and Vermont is blanketed with a thick coating of white powder, join Judith Scarl at the Norwich Inn for some bright pink, squawking, Down Under intrigue. Now the director of two broad-scale citizen science initiatives focusing on North American songbirds, Judith once devoted great lengths of time to chasing Australian cockatoos throughout city parks to record their vocalizations, climbing brittle eucalyptus trees to keep tabs on baby parrots, and attempting to avoid brawling kangaroos as she trapped galahs in fields shared with these sprawling marsupials. Judith will discuss cockatoo natural history and behavior, delve into why parrots are such good mimics both in captivity and in the wild, and regale you with stories of working with a species that has almost as good a sense of humor as we do.
What's With Whip-poor-wills?November 04, 2014
VCE biologist Sara Zahendra reports on Vermont's most enchanting goatsucker. Once a common sound on moonlit nights, the Eastern Whip-poor-will has declined over the last several decades and was recently listed as threatened in Vermont. Sara will describe VCE's "whip" survey in western Vermont and what's being done to monitor these aerial insectivores. Watch a video of this presentation from CATV 8/10 »
The Natural and Unnatural History of the Common LoonOctober 02, 2014
If loons sparked your interest, you can meet VCE loon biologist, Eric Hanson, to learn all about these amazing birds. Eric will discuss the "natural and unnatural history" of the Common Loon recovery in Vermont over the past 25 years. You'll hear about everything from late-night rescues of loons in distress to what information loons convey in their calls to one another. And as always, we'll try to answer your burning questions about loons. Watch a video of this presentation from CATV 8/10 »

Santa Claus is pictured here, along with the Ghost of Christmas Past, and the Other Ghost of Christmas Even More Past.
I stopped believing in Santa Clause when I was 12. And I stopped believing in Gonzalez and Lieberthal long before that.
In a special Yuletide sponsorship deal, this holiday Santa's elves will all be wearing Dodgers jerseys over dress shirts.
So the Dodgers FINALLY hired a manager!!!

Dear Reader,
Thank you for sharing in the excitement of my novels! I am a church choir singer, wife and
mother of two.
To acquire a real "taste" of my literary essence,
here is my recipe for a delicious read:
- 1 strong,sensitive female
- 1 sensitive,strong male
-Add in several heaping spoonfuls of full-bodied love
-Season throughout with salty characters
-Pepper with good and evil
-Blend above ingredients together--along with a hefty sprinkling of sensuality and sweetness
-Stir in chunks of raw emotion
-Keep it juicy
-Steam and serve!
Review by:
chelsea pagan
on Sep. 22, 2012 :
The voice in 'A Dusted Soul' is refreshingly honest. It doesn't tell the tale of a self-proclaimed hero--but rather, of a self professed sinner who finds joy and looses it and then looses himself to the bottle.
Written as a well groomed; compact short story, 'A Dusted Soul' finishes with an unexpected but welcome moral; the silver lining to an unfortunate life.
The additional poem included at the end compliments the main piece and will really make you think. I definitely recommend this story!

New realities require new editorial tools
Today, a successful WCM implementation must be measured against more than the basic requirements of publishing to a web property, keeping costs down, providing a stable service and improving ROI. With the acceleration of internet adoption and the proliferation of new mobile devices, and the growth of social interactivity, online managers today face significant new challenges:
Ineffective management
Outdated editorial interfaces often hinder online publishing operations and lead to costly, manual, and ineffective site management processes. Portal managers and web site editors are frustrated by lack of usability, making their lives increasing difficult.
Inflexible systems
This online ecosystem is constantly changing. Decisions based on current requirements will not necessarily make sense next year, or even next month. The current acceleration of mobile and social is putting continuous pressure on both business users and IT. Many WCM solutions are inflexible and provide no answer for continuous innovation.
Technological obsolescence
The need for operational stability requires a fine-tuned balance between reliability and technological innovation. Today's stable platform is tomorrow's proprietary dead end. Technology can become obsolete long before a ROI has been realized.
Modern WCM systems should make the work of business users as easy and efficient as possible – while protecting companies from technological dead-ends.
The ideal characteristics of the next generation of WCM editorial interfaces include the following:
Designed for a Wide Range of Business Users
In the past, most Web properties were maintained by a fairly small number of content editors. Now, as Web experiences are becoming more sophisticated, additional roles – including business specialists, online marketers, communication professionals and channel managers – contribute to the online experience. Effective interfaces must be browser–based and highly configurable to meet the specific roles of those who use them.
Dynamic Content Rules and Information-Based Publishing
The standard way of publishing Web content is to create static pages and establish manual links between content items. This may be a valid approach for a Web property with a small amount of content that is rarely updated. However as pressure increases to provide more content to more segments on any device, this manual approach falls short and hampers innovation. Modern WCM systems allow business users to manage information not pages – supports "dynamic assembly" of content elements at run time – and allows business users to quickly modify Web content using flexible page grids and in-page image editing.
Extensibility and Openness
Doing business on the Web is complicated. Modern enterprise applications typically integrate several services for a cohesive offering. WCM systems are mission critical and should provide the same ease of integration. However many WCM products provide inflexible and closed user interfaces, leading to a "one size fits all" approach. Companies need a user interface that provide robust SDKs and open API's in all product components, including the editorial user interfaces.
By following these principles, companies can move beyond basic content authoring to really focus on enhancing their customers' experiences. Business users need a single, flexible interface to access their complete content ecosystem and create relevant business rules to deliver contextual experiences across any touchpoint. (Glenn Conradt)

This article was published 26/10/2012 (1761 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A midnight rendezvous in a forest on the Czechoslovakia-Austria border, moving from hotel to hotel to avoid detection, secret knocks on the door, bobbing and weaving to shake gun-toting KGB agents.
A script for the next Mission Impossible movie? Nope -- these are the real-life adventures of hockey players who escaped from behind the Iron Curtain to play in the NHL.
For players in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Russia today, jumping to the best hockey league in the world -- lockout notwithstanding -- can be as simple as booking a plane ticket. But to escape the grip of communism in the '70s, '80s and '90s, you needed the stealth of a cat burglar and nerves of steel.
Tal Pinchevsky, a staff writer and producer for the website NHL.com, pulls back the Iron Curtain on some of the most gripping non-sports sports stories of all time.
Abandoning your team and country had some serious implications for players such as Vaclav Nedomansky, the Stastny brothers (Marian, Peter and Anton), Petr Svoboda, Petr Klima, Michal Pivonka and Petr Nedved.
Those they left behind often bore the brunt of the defections as their homes were raided and they frequently lost their jobs or were demoted. Any status they had painstakingly built up for years or even decades was gone shortly after the defector's empty seat on the bus or plane was spotted.
Not every would-be NHLer was prepared to have their families bear the wrath of the KGB, however. Legendary Soviet defenceman Slava Fetisov certainly had his chances to bolt but chose to blaze a trail for others to follow through legal channels.
It most certainly meant several years of delays before he made his debut with the New Jersey Devils, but he was intent on fighting the Communist system and the iron fist of his coach, Victor Tikhonov.
Even though none of the players whose stories are chronicled here came to the Winnipeg Jets, there is a local connection in Breakaway.
As the war on talent heated up between the NHL and the WHA in the early 1970s, Jets general manager Rudy Pilous is cited for "leading the charge" on recruiting European talent. His two most notable scores were Ulf Nilsson and Anders Hedberg, who formed two-thirds of the Hot Line with Bobby Hull.
Free Press reporter Geoff Kirbyson plays for the Sofa Kings, a beer league team in the Adult Safe Hockey League. He is also writing a book on the Hot Line.

I always thought that the emphasis on looks was exclusive to the media and the female psyche. Until now...
So I've been talking to this guy for about 10 months. Its like a flirty friendship, but he always has said if we lived closer he would want to be with me. So today I find out he's been having sex with his best friend, let's call her Sarah. So he took Sarah's virginity and they are still currently fcking. I feel kinda mislead and used, but that's not what I am asking. He doesn't want to be with her, but me. I know that personality isn't a factor. She's his best friend so obviously he like her personality and my personality is far from dry. But even through I've never even seen what Sarah looks like, let alone even met her, I have a feeling he would rather be with me just because he thinks I look better?
So my question to guys is, Have looks ever been a deciding factor in whether or not you like a girl more than another and, furthermore, date them?
Most Helpful Guy
No. Looks will get me to f***, not to date. He probably thinks your personality is more valuable and interesting and you are better for a long-term investment versus his "floosy" who's good p**** for a short while but nothing really much more.11|00|1

Are you one of the customers who pre-ordered the disappointing Micromax Canvas 4 and haven't received it yet? or you did not order it because it's not value for money? Then you can take a look at the iBerry Auxus Nuclea N1. We had reported earlier that the iBerry Auxus Nuclea N1 will go on a 10-day-pre-booking starting from 13 Jul 2013 at a price of Rs.15990 while the regular order price is set at Rs.18000 (same as the Micromax Canvas 4). Now the handset is up for pre-order on iBerry's website and with the order dispatch date mentioned there too. So the price is set to be raised by Rs 2,000 once the deal closes.
iBerry Auxus Nuclea N1 has a 5-inch Full HD 1080p, 1920 x 1080 resolution One-Glass Solution display with Active Matrix technology.

The internal storage of the handset is 4GB which is expandable to 64GB. With 1GB of RAM, iBerry Auxus Nuclea N1 also boasts some other features such as Gesture control, Voice Unlock, Magnetic sensors etc. It is a dual Sim 3G +2G smartphone.
The iBerry Auxus Nuclea N1 packs a 13MP rear facing camera with a BSI sensor and Auto-focus along with an impressive 8MP front facing camera. A 2800mAh Li-ion battery powering the smartphone which runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

Energy Conservation Importance.
It is important to conserve energy because our number one energy resource is the nonrenewable, atmosphere polluting coal. Coal is an important energy source to conserve because if to much is used the air will become really polluted. Another thing, the U.S is really energy dependent and needs all the energy it can get it hands on. If we don't conserve energy all that will be gone. The reason coal is so popular is because you can get the most energy with a small amount and won't start to glow (nuclear) if you use it. Also if we do not conserve energy, the economy will crash. Much of the economy relies on electricity.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Until recently , I worked for a company with which I had signed an employment agreement . That agreement said that I couldn't solicit its customers for a year after I left , and that I couldn't ever use its customer information for my own purposes . One of the company's customers was a firm called , let's say , XYLIA . I knew of XYLIA before I ever came to work for the company I just left , and I had contacts within XYLIA that I developed way beforehand . I now work for a new company that competes with my old one . XYLIA wants to leave my old company and become a customer of my new employer . Can I get sued if XYLIA follows through with this ? Isn't it okay for me to share what I know about XYLIA with my new employer , since I didn't learn it while on the job with my old employer ?
Many companies seem to think that anything and everything an employee uses during their employment is a trade secret. Most of the time they are incorrect. Sometimes employees come to a company with their own contacts or book of business. In some industries, customer information is available to all competitors. Just because a company does business with a customer, that does not give the company exclusive access to the customer, nor can it prevent an employee from continuing their relationship with the customer after they leave, unless the employee is truly using information that is unique and only available through their employer.
Trade secret law is a bit complicated, so it would be very difficult to give you a specific answer to your question. You would best be served by consulting with an attorney who could read your contract, and listen to the circumstances of your situation. Even if it appears you are not violating any trade secrets, it does not necessarily follow that your former employer will not sue you and your new employer anyway. For this reason, it would be wise to explain your dilemma to your new employer and get a legal opinion from their legal counsel, as well. If a lawsuit is filed, it would be against both you and the new employer.
They say you get what you pay for, and this response is free, so take it for what it is worth. This is my opinion based on very limited information. My opinion should not be taken as legal advice. For true advice, we would require a confidential consultation where I would ask you questions and get your complete story. This is a public forum, so remember, nothing here is confidential. Nor am I your attorney. I do not know who you are and you have not hired me to provide any legal service. To do so would require us to meet and sign written retainer agreement. My responses are intended for general information only.Ask a similar question
Asker, I know Mr. Kirschbaum professionally and personally. If you were to retain an attorney for this situation, you may wish to consider retaining Mr. Kirschbaum, even though he is in another city. Much can be handled over the phone and you may never need to meet with Mr. Kirschbaum in person. He is very highly regarded in the employment law community and has provided you with great guidance here.
This situation needs an assessment of the specific facts, including a review of the non-solicitation agreement you signed with your former employer. The Avvo board is not set up to handle the kind of detailed analysis needed to offer helpful guidance. Avvo works best for short, specific questions that allow for short, specific answers. Perhaps more importantly, anyone can read the discussions on Avvo so they are not confidential. The employer or whomever is involved in the dispute can read everything written here.
Your new employer may have dealt with this many times before and may be able to provide guidance. If not, you will need to bring the agreement to an employment law attorney who can review it with you and discuss the facts. It is possible the agreement is ambiguous or silent on your particular situation, in which case it makes sense to negotiate how to handle this, either on your own or by using an attorney. There are a lot of traps and "gotchas" in this kind of negotiation, so you may be better off using an experienced attorney.

The analysis of your question requires us to understand two things. The first is: What information can a former employer prevent you from using at a new employer, and what acts can it prevent you from taking?
A former employer can prevent you from using its trade secret information for a new employer. Older cases say that it can also prevent you from using confidential or proprietary information (whatever that is; the cases never really say), but the recent trend limits the former employer to restricting use of its trade secrets only. Any contract that tries to go beyond that is void and illegal.
The second thing we need to know is: What is a trade secret?
A trade secret is information that (a) has value, at least in part, because it is a secret, and (b) is subject to reasonable efforts to maintain its secrecy.
Clearly, any contacts that you had with XYLIA prior to coming to work for your previous employer couldn't be their trade secrets. Therefore, you couldn't be restricted from using them.
Moreover, you're on even safer ground if XYLIA contacted you (or your new employer) and asked to become a customer. That would mean you didn't solicit the business, but rather, the business came to you. The fact is that the law even allows you to solicit your old employer's customers (so long as you don't use trade secrets in doing so), but if they made the first contact, you don't even have that worry.
Having said all that, I agree with Mr. Kirschbaum 100%: just doing the right thing doesn't mean you won't get sued anyway. I've represented many employees who did nothing wrong, but got sued by their former employer regardless.
If that happens, your new employer should indemnify you (meaning, reimburse you) for any costs you incur in defending yourself. Moreover, at least one case says that it would be illegal for your new employer to fire you just because you got sued for this reason.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Good luck with your legal issues.

The simple answer is anyone can sue for a perceived infraction of either your employment agreement of California law relating to trade secrets (or related theories such as Intentional Interference with Contract or Unfair competition). The real issue is the potential of you being embroiled in a suit where you may "step over the line" and incur liability. Counsel have all given good sketches of the issues but what may be in your opinion "prior knowledge" may collide with protected information and you should speak with experienced counsel, many who will offer a free initial consultation. I also think you should address these concerns with your current employer before you decide what to disclose. The details in a trade secret and a non compete/solicit are very factually dependant.

Bought this for myself. Love love love it! Can't go wrong with a Citizen watch!Read More
Purchased for my husband for valentine's day. He loved it. Was exactly what he wanted for a diving watch.Read More
Searched a long time to find a good basic divers watch that fits my wrist without looking like huge hunk of metal. Case diameter is 41mm according to the Citizen catalog. The band is comfortable and the watch keeps accurate time. Some reviews noted that the locking crown was hard to operate but I do not have any issue with it. This watch was exactly what I was looking for and the Overstock.com price was great. Shipping took about a week.Read More
The watch I received was exactly as described. Since I've worn it for only two weeks, time will tell about the eco-drive feature. This is the first rubber watchband i have experienced. It fits well. I have small wrist. Although it is a sport watch, it is also great dress watch.Read More
I got the watch as a gift for my brother who often goes scuba diving. He really liked how it looked, but hasn't yet tested it out on a dive.Read More
I bought this watch for the solar charging feature and I am very happy with that. The watch looks great. The only thing that is kind of a waste is the date window.. way too small. I never even bothered to set the date because I can't see it anyway...Read More
My first Citizen Eco-Drive lasted me for about fifteen years without ever losing a second of time. In it's fifteen years it saw much action, from rain forests to the depths of the ocean. Not once did it ever fail me. I was delighted to find another on Overstock at a price considerably below any retail price I could find locally. It arrived on time, as advertised, and is just as reliable as my first was.Read More
Outstanding deal for a full featured rubber strap dive watch with the plus of it being a Eco-Drive and never needing to replace the battery. Outstanding deal on a outstanding watch. Very happy with this deal.Read More

We have 2 domains on our network, say domain.com and domain.co.uk, we also have 2 ip ranges currently as well, 172.x.x.x and 10.x.x.x
We are currently migrating our domain.com users to doamin.co.uk and will also be changing the ip schema to be on 10.x.x.x
I notice that the network scanner can pick up AD objects to scan duch as servers desktops etc... however I am having a bit of an issue.
In the spiceworks installation I have tied it into the domain.com AD to pick up all our users, but on the network scanner I am trying to get it to scan the OU's in domain.com but it just isnt working, it just seems to scan all AD objects in the domain.co.uk domain.
Is this because the server that spiceworks is running on is located on the new domain.co.uk domain? I have tried using logins on both domains for scanning but I think it's a problem with Spiceworks polling AD first for a list of machines before it starts to scan.

can this link help you further?
Nov 30, 2011 at 8:54 UTC
Potentially, I will create an installation on the old domain and let you know how it goes.
Nov 30, 2011 at 4:07 UTC
How are you setting up your scan ranges? Does ping and nslookup return correct information about devices in the other domain?
Another thing you can use to check is run wmic to test your WMI connection outside of Spiceworks. If that doesn't work connecting from one domain to the other, the error message can help you narrow down the cause.
Dec 1, 2011 at 3:02 UTC
I think it's sort of working, we have applied via group policy the correct firewall settings for WMI and DCOM, and are using an AD account that is a local administrator on each machine. I think it might just be an issue with getting the correct format in the scan range, I'm toying with different WAD: search strings to see if that helps, I just can't find much info to do with searching the entire domain, not just a particular OU.
Dec 1, 2011 at 11:08 UTC
One of the issues I've found with scanning by OU is when there is a space in the OU name. A space is also a valid delimiter in the Spiceworks scan range, so in my tests that has lead the OU scan to scan OUs that match the partial description. If there are no spaces, drilling down to a sub-OU seems to work fine.
Dec 1, 2011 at 11:14 UTC
Well, at the moment I'm currently setting up a dedicated server to run spiceworks on in our old domain, as the current server it runs on has other IIS services running on it and I have had a few HTTP 500 errors.
As we are migrating, I'm going to only scan the old domain (no users have gone over yet), then re-configure spiceworks later to scan the new domain.

text: Was it The Truth? Well, after all the hullabaloo, I'm not sure the Channel 5 documentary really gave anyone The Truth About Your Dogs Food. But what the documentary did do is show just how many differing ideas there are about how to feed our pets and it certainly created plenty of conversation in store at Scampers! We have had visitors from all over the country since the programme was aired and all have gone away with a much clearer understanding of pet food and hopefully great independent pet stores will all have benefited from the interest created by the film. Unfortunately TV being TV the programme, in our opinion, spent too long showing some rather extreme ideas and ended up confusing people even more than they were before the programme! We of course would never recommend vegetarian or vegan food for your best friends nor do we subscribe to some of the more outrageous views of some of the other contributors regarding pet food in general. It was also disappointing to hear some pretty uninformed comments trying to scare owners into using their particular brand of dog food. That being said there were some really good points made about processing, dodgy ingredients and nasty preservatives! The sort of thing we have been talking about for years and fantastic that this subject made it to the national press and media. Here at Scampers we have a much more open minded view about how to keep our dogs and cats healthier through diet and we do not believe that any one food or food type is necessarily the best for every animal or every owners needs, budget or choice. In fact all of us here now feed a variety to our dogs and cats and they look great and feel great and why not? Don't we enjoy variety in our diets…I for one would hate to have even my favourite food every day, for the whole of my life! Our goal is to give the real truth about pet foods to our customers which we believe is so important to enable you to make an informed choice about what to feed your pets and why. We now have probably the widest and best range of natural pet food options available in the UK and we can explain the advantages and disadvantages of each one including; what is in them, where they are made, how they are made, who makes them and why we have chosen to stock them. We will also explain why you will not find pet foods from Nestle Purina, Mars, Hills or Proctor and Gamble! No pet store can carry every brand of pet food but we have a natural range that covers every type of process and every type of ingredient ..other than VEGAN! So if you have any questions regarding the programme or would like further information on any pet foods or you would just like a sample please ask myself or any of the Scampers Pet Care Advisors…it's our job and we love it! Late last year we were asked to contribute to a documentary asking "The truth about your dogs food". We filmed for several hours and gave a frank and open interview about what we think about the dog food industry and what we think are the best ideas for feeding dogs. The programme should give a great overview of this very hot topic as people like us and yourselves look for the very best and healthiest way to feed our best friends "Dogs are man's best friend who we shower with care, love, affection and gifts, but how much of what we put into our pooch's food is actually good for them What if through the attention we put into our canine's culinary delights we are actually making some massive mistakes? Channel 5 has commissioned The Truth about Your Dog's Food from Doghouse Media to take a look at what goes into dog food, the different methods of feeding dogs, plus the competing approaches for how best to feed them. In an industry worth billions of pounds every year, there's a huge market for all kinds of dog foods Be it commercial, vegetarian, raw meat or home-cooked meals, the British public continue to spend vast sums of their cash on their favourite pets, even in times of recession. Clearly, it's in the dog food industry's best interests to offer as much choice to the consumer as possible, but what is the BEST food to feed our pets With the rise of reported chronic health issues amongst dogs, along with the incontrovertible rise of obesity amongst our favourite pets, the next nutritional battle ground to be fought in the UK is over dog food An increasing number of dog owners in the UK are beginning to question and challenge the major dog food manufacturers and are going it alone when it comes to their precious pooches diets Feelings run high when it comes to man's best friend, with ethical and political tensions reaching boiling point amongst alternative suppliers, plus accusations of health issues surrounding certain food types The Truth About Your Dog's Food navigates a course through all the various camps. Whether it be feeding your dog scrambled egg with a diamanté encrusted fork; or hearing it crack and crunch the tendons of a raw chicken wing; whether your dog is vegan, vegetarian or pescatorian or whether kibble and wet tinned food totally suffices – this documentary is both a profile, and a user's guide; steering dog loving viewers through the many varied worlds and opinions around feeding our beloved pooch. Guy Davies, Commissioning Editor: Factual for Channel 5 stated: "We're mad about dogs in the UK. Now we're revealing some home truths about the dog food industry, and some more radical approaches from owners. Do we really know what we're feeding our prized pets?"

Key details
About The Christmas Decorators
The Christmas Decorators provide commercial and residential property owners with a design and installation service of both indoor and outdoor Christmas lights, decorations and displays. We are the pioneers of this industry in the UK, and have been decorating hundreds of homes and businesses since 1999.
Since first offering licences to suitable entrepreneurs in 2007, The Christmas Decorators now have 21 franchised territories operating in the UK and Ireland with a group turnover of almost £3 million. In 2015, we will be offering 8 new licences within the UK. We are particularly keen to hear from those in Essex, Yorkshire, Glasgow, The Midlands, East and West Sussex ,The South Coast and the London Home Counties. We are a home based management franchise.
The Opportunity
The Christmas Decorators business is unique, and with virtually no competitors within the residential sector it is easy to see how our business has grown so well, and how our services are in such high demand. It is very affordable to set up, with an initial investment as low as £15,000 and working capital of around £10,000. You can easily work from home during the first years of operation which allows you to keep the overheads down, maximising profitability.
As long as you have the right business acumen, we can teach you everything you need to know about the Christmas decorating business to become successful in your new career. The service we provide is greatly appreciated by our residential clients with whom we always forge great relationships, and no hard selling is required! Just think, 15 years ago only the wealthy households would have had the luxury of a cleaner or a gardener. Nowadays it's commonplace. While there is competition in the commercial market place, we have gained a great reputation over the years which reflects in our varied client list and accolades.
The Christmas Decorators franchise fee is £15,000 with a recommended £10,000 working capital. Franchisees should be able to get a return on their investment after year!
The Financial Rewards
The financial rewards can be substantial, as well as being the proud owner of a fun and exciting business that really does provide the ultimate in career satisfaction.
During your first year we would expect you, as a new franchisee, to generate sales of between £30k to £40k.
- Your first year as a Christmas Decorator is a massive learning curve, and is the period that you will not just "cut your teeth", but you will "really learn your trade".
- By year three you can easily be achieving over £200k in sales from a very busy 3 months of hard work. What is particularly attractive and rewarding about this business is the client retention, as 95% of all clients return year after year. Christmas comes every year, so as long as you keep your customers happy, there's no reason why you shouldn't keep them forever.
- By your fourth Christmas you should have reached a point where your diary is full simply by re-installing existing customers' decorations and you no longer have the space in your diary for new clients, or you could simply expand your installation crew and start to really benefit from the reputation you have earned.
Who We Are Looking For
Every one of The Christmas Decorators existing franchises is determined to deliver outstanding customer service.
√ They all have a keen eye for detail and they know what looks good
√ They don't over promise and under deliver
√ They are forthright and honest
√ They never say, "Oh that will have to do"
√ They pay attention to detail
If this sounds like you, and you can also tick all of the boxes, The Christmas Decorators can teach you the rest; you will forge lasting relationships with your clients and you will build a successful business with a brand name and support mechanism behind you that has an unbelievable reputation, success story and a client list to match.

I have created a few mood boards for those unknown days when we haven't got a clue what to wear. Fair enough some insignificant days we don't know what to wear, but what about when you need to be seen in public or need to be social?! Each of these looks is different but unique at the same time and even though I may sound quite old ranting on about how cold it is - each of these will be a great warm look!
A fantastic casual look for a trip to the cinema, we all love going to the cinema so why not embrace going when the weather isn't at it's best?
Handbag -Next Leather Berry Tote - £75.00
You can't beat meeting up inside somewhere cosy having a catch up and lunch with friends! This is a casual look so would be ideal for a gastro pub or a boutique cafe.
Necklace -Claire's Shiny Jumbo Beaded Bib Necklace - £12
Gloves -Jigsaw Cashmere Button Gloves- £39.00
You certainly can't hibernate (as much as I'd love to!) so at some point to save you going insane you'll need to socialize! I can feel quite underdressed if I don't wear something to give me height, so I've added in a girls best friend.... wedges! Also the fantastic leather jeans will keep you legs warm if you move on to a different bar after. The floral top from Topshop is one of my favourite items I've seen recently, it's deep in tones and unique but at the same time it's femnine and ideal for this look.... It can also be worn more casually say with some jeans.
Handbag - Miss Selfridge Kahki Boxy Fay Bag - £39.00
If you know me, you'll know I can never resist polka dots! I spied this dress from Topshop before Christmas, but the rich tone is ideal for warming up your look. You never want to go overboard with a date but at the same time I always believe you should make an effort regardless.
Those are my top picks for some possible social situations you may encounter over the next month or so. Remember keep any item of clothing in a warming colour and it'll really make a huge difference to how you feel.

OH, THE curse of playing for the 'wrong club'! Under normal circumstances, Jabu Maluleke would be among the most celebrated footballers in this country.
But because he plays for obscure Polokwane City, the midfielder is nowhere near the limelight. Had he been at one of the Gauteng clubs, he'd be a headliner with plenty of Bafana Bafana caps.
For the past three seasons, Maluleke has been one of the most consistent players in the Absa Premiership. As captain of Rise and Shine, he is also the conductor of their fluid, attacking game that has seen them play arguably the most exciting football by any of the elite teams.
Granted, they were pathetic defensively under Kosta Papic, but when they went forward City were a joy to behold. And Maluleke was always the architect of their moves. Slight of frame, the 34-year-old is cut from the good-old creative playmaker role of days gone by - ala Ace Khuse, brilliant at fetching, carrying and distributing the ball.
You always see him jogging back to his own half to fetch the ball. And once in possession, you almost always know he will create something special. A feint to leave an onrushing opponent in his wake, a lift of the head to see his teammates and then an inch perfect pass - that's Maluleke's game. And at the root of it is football intelligence, Maluleke clearly a thinking player who always looks to have long decided what he is going to do with the ball before he receives it. And he has been doing it consistently for many seasons.
Add to that play-making repertoire his speciality as a set-piece taker supreme and you have a player who should surely have at least an international cap, especially in the previous two seasons.
I watched Maluleke again on Sunday as he led City's domination of Orlando Pirates in their 1-1 draw at the Peter Mokaba Stadium and couldn't help but wonder just how unfair the game can be.
While the crowd went ballistic at Oupa Manyisa showing off his skills without using them, Maluleke sprayed defence splitting passes all over the field to put Pirates under the kosh.
Of course, he is a bit old now and will probably never get to play for Bafana. In any case, the role of a creative playmaker has long been rendered obsolete at our senior national team, with Teko Modise and Papi Zothwane the last of the species to don the yellow and green.
But those of us who enjoy watching intelligent players do their thing with consummate ease will never tire of the likes of Maluleke. It is just a pity that he plays in a country where you need to play for one of the big clubs to get recognition.

First Person Jedi Video
This one is for all you Star Wars nerds out there. A Jedi video shot in first person. I saw this video on facebook today and thought this was too cool not to share with y'all. Bill Parker made this video. It's got some pretty good production in it. This was shot entirely on a GoPro. I'm starting to think I might need to drop the money on this.

Nelson Mandela And Graca Machel Met 1990 After He Was Released From Prison
February 4, 2012 by staff
Nelson Mandela And Graca Machel Met 1990 After He Was Released From Prison, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela ( born 18 July 1918) served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999, and was the first South African president to be elected in a fully representative democratic election. Before his presidency, Mandela was an anti-apartheid activist, and the leader of Umkhonto we Sizwe, the armed wing of the African National Congress (ANC). In 1962 he was arrested and convicted of sabotage and other charges, and sentenced to life in prison. Mandela served 27 years in prison, spending many of these years on Robben Island. Following his release from prison on 11 February 1990, Mandela led his party in the negotiations that led to multi-racial democracy in 1994. As president, he frequently gave priority to reconciliation, while introducing policies aimed at combating poverty and inequality in South Africa.
In South Africa, Mandela is often known as Madiba, his Xhosa clan name; or as tata (Xhosa: father). Mandela has received more than 250 awards over four decades, including the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize.
Mandela has been married three times, has fathered six children, has twenty grandchildren, and a growing number of great-grandchildren. He is grandfather to Chief Mandla Mandela.
First marriage
Mandela's first marriage was to Evelyn Ntoko Mase who, like Mandela, was also from what later became the Transkei area of South Africa, although they actually met in Johannesburg. The couple broke up in 1957 after 13 years, divorcing under the multiple strains of his constant absences, devotion to revolutionary agitation, and the fact she was a Jehovah's Witness, a religion which requires political neutrality. Evelyn Mase died in 2004. The couple had two sons, Madiba Thembekile (Thembi) (1946-1969) and Makgatho Mandela (1950-2005), and two daughters, both named Makaziwe Mandela (known as Maki; born 1947 and 1953). Their first daughter died aged nine months, and they named their second daughter in her honour. All their children were educated at the United World College of Waterford Kamhlaba. Thembi was killed in a car crash in 1969 at the age of 23, while Mandela was imprisoned on Robben Island, and Mandela was not allowed to attend the funeral. Makgatho died of AIDS in 2005, aged 54.
Second marriage
Mandela's second wife, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, also came from the Transkei area, although they, too, met in Johannesburg, where she was the city's first black social worker. They had two daughters, Zenani (Zeni), born 4 February 1958, and Zindziswa (Zindzi) Mandela-Hlongwane, born 1960. Zindzi was only 18 months old when her father was sent to Robben island. Later, Winnie would be deeply torn by family discord which mirrored the country's political strife; while her husband was serving a life sentence on the Robben Island prison, her father became the agriculture minister in the Transkei. The marriage ended in separation (April 1992) and divorce (March 1996), fuelled by political estrangement.
Mandela was still in prison when his daughter Zenani was married to Prince Thumbumuzi Dlamini in 1973, elder brother of King Mswati III of Swaziland. Although she had vivid memories of her father, from the age of four up until sixteen, South African authorities did not permit her to visit him. The Dlamini couple live and run a business in Boston. One of their sons, Prince Cedza Dlamini (born 1976), educated in the United States, has followed in his grandfather's footsteps as an international advocate for human rights and humanitarian aid.
Zindzi Mandela-Hlongwane made history worldwide when she read out Mandela's speech refusing his conditional pardon in 1985. She is a businesswoman in South Africa with three children, the eldest of whom is a son, Zondwa Gadaffi Mandela.
Third marriage
Mandela was remarried, on his 80th birthday in 1998, to Graça Machel née Simbine, widow of Samora Machel, the former Mozambican president and ANC ally who was killed in an air crash 12 years earlier. The wedding followed months of international negotiations to set the unprecedented bride price to be remitted to Machel's clan. Said negotiations were conducted on Mandela's behalf by his traditional sovereign, King Buyelekhaya Zwelibanzi Dalindyebo. The paramount chief's grandfather was the regent Jongintaba Dalindyebo, who had arranged a marriage for Mandela, which he eluded by fleeing to Johannesburg in 1940.
Mandela still maintains a home at Qunu in the realm of his royal nephew (second cousin thrice-removed in Western reckoning), whose university expenses he defrayed and whose privy councillor he remains.

Must Read Mentor Text Linky #1
This is a fun linky for a lazy Saturday!
We've been enjoying our freedom since yesterday and it is so nice to take it easy!
The girls at
Collaboration Cuties
are hosting a linky for the next 4 weeks to showcase great Mentor Text across subject areas.
This week is Literary Mentor Text and we've chosen to share a book/acvitity we did for Opinion Writing.
Opinion Writing was new for us in 1
grade this year.
We searched for strong texts to use as models to teach our kiddos about this form of writing.
One great book we found was
A Fine, Fine School
by Sharon Creech.
If you are not familiar with this book, it is a story about a principal who loves his school, teachers and students so much, he wants them to be at school more often.
He instates school on weekends, holidays, and summers.
One girls shares with him about how going to school is keeping her away from other important things.
He is about to make another anouncement and the kids get worried about when else he will make them come to school.
This is the point we stop reading and have our kiddos record their opinion about what the principal should do….most kiddos think the principal should stop making the kids go to school so much.
Here are two versions of the organizer to use with your kiddos so they can state their opinion.
Select the version which would best fit your class.
Hope you have a chance to check out this book and enjoy it with your class!

Five For Friday (including a GIVEAWAY!) 3.29.13
It's Friday; which means it's time for our Five for Friday linky!
We have reached
100 followers
!!! We are so excited about this! Thank you for visiting our site and joining us in this journey! We have made connections with people we would've never known otherwise! To celebrate, we would like to give away one of our products; Rainbow Math. Rainbow Math was an idea we had to help improve our students' fact fluency. We have been so pleased with the results. Each kiddo has a ring that they keep their addition facts on. The facts start at +1 (which are red) and they add a color each time they pass a level. We started this in February and we are excited to say we both have students that have passed ALL ADDITION levels! When the students pass addition, they move on to subtraction. Recently we introduced 2 digit addition and our students did so well; we think part of this is their ability to add quicker and their improved confidence from their Rainbow Math practice.
Below is a raffle if you'd like to try for your copy of Rainbow Math!

This week we worked on the equal sign; it's meaning and ways to use it. Many young children see the equal sign as "the end of a problem." We wanted to make sure they understood that an equal sign means "balance" or "equal values." So, we introduced
"Equal Ellie."
In this packet there are 4 activities that allow the students to see that the equal sign is a symbol for "balance." Below is an anchor chart we made with one of the activities; the students had to sort the number sentences into true or false. If you'd like to try this in your classroom, the picture of "Equal Ellie" will take you to our TpT shop.
This week we completed our Economics unit. We set up a class cookie factory to teach "division of labor" and "quality vs. quantity." Every year it's a student favorite! We divide the students into 2 groups; a factory that uses division of labor (assembly line) and a factory that has no rules or guidance. It's always so neat to see the difference in how the cookies turn out. See below!
Another engaging activity we did this week to conclude our Economics unit was a classroom store. At our classroom store we sell goods and services. The students have to make the goods and provide the services! They even have to make a sign to put up in their shop (they get so creative!!!). This is one of our favorite activities in first grade!
Both of the activities above (the factory and store) are a part of our "Economics in the Primary Grades" packet!
A couple more examples of our use of this packet...
How cute is this: "A haircut is a service provided by a haircut girl."
Vocabulary cards (designed to look like stores) are included to make anchor charts or to hang around the room!
Click here for a freebie from our Economics packet:
We are officially on Spring Break! We plan to work on "end of the year" projects this week…can you believe it's time to say that?!? We can't wait to share the things we come up with on our blog in the coming weeks!
Have a GREAT weekend!

Powerful Products Linky
Here is a fun little linky from Jess at
I (Heart) Recess
You talk about a product from a blog or TpT and share how you've used it in the classroom.
We like this idea because we find seeing an idea in action in the classroom leads us to be more inclined to try it ourselves!
Luckily, there are lots of blogs that do that!!
Throughout the year, we have a resource that has been very valuable to our reading instruction.
These comprehension packs from Lindsey at
The Teacher Wife
have integrated into our strategy lessons wonderfully!
Here are some pictures from Tamra's room (she organized them so they can hang all year!):
We have found these comprehension organizers and activities to be a great fit for our 1
graders to understand and complete the tasks.
They can be used in various settings: whole group, small groups or independently during their Daily 5 rotations.
The organizer sheets can be modified for all levels of learners – kiddos can draw their answer or write about their answers.
Check these packs out and see how they might fit into your comprehension instruction!

French Canadian Tourtiere Meat Pie Recipe

We usually make one for Christmas Eve and it's a traditional French Canadian meat pie with mashed potatoes, onions and spices.

During my final year at the University of Toronto, I scored a seasonal job wrapping gifts – oh you know, just around a couple hundred of them.
