I know how tough it is, and I just got a refresher course... all of those terrible feelings flooded in only to be shoved back into some deep dark closet in my head (hopefully I won't need those feelings ever). If it helps at all... I love reading your blog. It never fails to make me smile, or read everything you type. Just do what you love.

Ugh. I feel like such a loser right now. This plate is right up my alley.
Sorry I haven't been around (though I'm not even sure if you're gonna read this). For some reason, your site has been crashing my browser. To be fair, that happens pretty often when a site has a lot of images. I mean, I'm hoping it's that and not a virus. Not that your site would have one.
Mainly, I miss you. And I'm sorry I haven't been around. IT's just one time in 20 that the site actually loads, and doesn't crash what I'm doing.

Charlie Wilson, a 12-term East Texas congressman who was best known for his playboy ways until he masterminded a covert effort to funnel billions of dollars in arms to Afghan rebels fighting the Soviets in the 1980s, died Wednesday in Lufkin. He was 76.
Memorial Medical Center-Lufkin said the preliminary cause of death was cardiopulmonary arrest. Mr. Wilson had a heart transplant in 2007.
The Democratic congressman's exploits to provide as much as $5 billion in arms to Afghan rebels were the subject of a book and the 2007 movie Charlie Wilson's War. Tom Hanks portrayed Wilson in the film.
The former president of Pakistan, Gen. Mohammed Zia-ul-Haq, said it was hard to understate Mr. Wilson's role in helping the Afghan rebels beat back the Soviets. "All I can say is, 'Charlie did it,' " he said on 60 Minutes in 1989.
It was an unusual role for a congressman representing an unworldly East Texas district. From 1973 to 1996, Mr. Wilson kept his seat by balancing liberal views on many domestic issues with a hawkish stance on foreign policy and paying close attention to his constituents' needs.
Until his secret role in Afghanistan became the stuff of Hollywood, Mr. Wilson's fame was pretty much summed up by his nickname, "Good Time Charlie." A 2004 Texas Monthly article said he gave his girlfriends nicknames like Snowflake, Tornado and Firecracker.
Mr. Wilson was able to help the Afghans from his seat on the House Appropriations Committee and from another on its subcommittee on foreign operations.
The Soviets had invaded Afghanistan in 1979, invited by the pro-Communist government there in the face an insurgency.
After he visited a refugee camp in Pakistan and saw wounded and maimed Afghan guerrilla fighters, Mr. Wilson vowed to help them and became a key figure in Congress for doing so, overtly pushing for humanitarian aid and covertly obtaining military help, a risky endeavor against a rival superpower. He often gathered his colleagues' support by voting for military contracts that would serve their districts.
From a few million dollars in the early 1980s, support for the resistance grew to $750 million a year by the end of the decade. The financing was funneled to Afghanistan in secret by Mr. Wilson and other lawmakers.
The help went beyond money. When the Soviets deliberately killed camels and mules to cripple the Afghan fighters' supply lines, he flew in Tennessee mules.
When the CIA refused to provide the guerrillas with field radios for fear that mujahedeen transmissions would be picked up by the Soviets, he sent an aide to Virginia to buy $12,000 worth of walkie-talkies from a Radio Shack outlet.
Particularly helpful were Stinger missiles from the United States, which were used to shoot down Russian helicopters and became what many consider a decisive factor in wearing down the Soviets. By February 1989, the Soviets had withdrawn and the United States ended its support.
In later years, Mr. Wilson insisted that the United States had not made a mistake by supporting the Afghan rebels, among them Osama bin Laden and the Islamic radicals who would form the Taliban regime.
He said that if the United States had helped rebuild Afghanistan, it would have remained stable and not become a haven for al-Qaeda.
"We were fighting the evil empire," he told Time magazine in 2007. "It would have been like not supplying the Soviets against Hitler in World War II. ... Anyway, who the hell had ever heard of the Taliban then?"
Charles Nesbitt Wilson was born June 1, 1933, in Trinity, Texas, where his father was an accountant for a lumber company. Wilson told about his first political experience in the book from which the movie was made, Charlie Wilson's War: The Extraordinary Story of the Largest Covert Operation in History by George Crile.
He was 13 when his dog strayed and a neighbor apparently fed him something that contained crushed glass. The boy first set the man's garden on fire. He then realized that the neighbor was a City Council member and used his learner's permit to drive black voters to the polls to vote against him. The neighbor lost his seat by 16 votes.
Mr. Wilson attended the Naval Academy at Annapolis and graduated in 1956. He served four years in the Navy and went back to Texas, where he was elected to the state House and then to the state Senate.
In 1972, he ran successfully for Congress, where he outmaneuvered a fellow Texan for a seat on the Appropriations Committee as well as a slot on its subcommittee on foreign operations.
His rowdy behavior produced sensational headlines over the years.
Although Mr. Wilson was often considered liberal on economic and social causes, he nonetheless delighted in tweaking feminists who criticized his unrepentant womanizing.
"Feminists like me," he told Texan columnist Molly Ivins, "because I am an unapologetic sexist, chauvinist redneck ... who ... votes with 'em every time. I have proven that I can vote with 'em without kissing their ass. I try not to let 'em know I vote with 'em. It's more fun to have 'em mad at me."
Mr. Wilson was among the congressmen implicated in a Justice Department investigation into illicit drug use. Leading the inquiry was a little-known Justice Department attorney, Rudy Giuliani, who found that the Texas representative may have snorted cocaine while on a trip to Las Vegas.
Mr. Wilson described the episode in Mr. Crile's book, saying he was in Las Vegas enjoying the warmth of a hot tub and two naked showgirls who had "long, red fingernails with an endless supply of beautiful white powder."
The Justice Department investigation proved fruitless, and in 1983 Mr. Giuliani decided not to file criminal charges against Mr. Wilson, citing a lack of evidence.
"The Feds spent a million bucks trying to figure out whether, when those fingernails passed underneath my nose did I inhale or exhale," Mr. Wilson told Mr. Crile. "I ain't telling."
Other incidents included at least two midnight car crashes. And election-expenditure irregularities resulted in a $90,000 fine. He once tried to take a beauty queen with him on a government trip to Afghanistan.
In an interview with Washingtonian magazine in 1996, Mr. Wilson said Texas voters put up with his antics in part because of the vicarious thrill they got in watching him. He added that he did not lie or whine when caught.
"I just say, 'Well, yeah, I guess I goofed again' and go about my business," he said. "Those good Christians, you know, believe in the redemption of sin."
When he announced his resignation in 1995, saying the job was not fun anymore, Mr. Wilson thanked his constituents for their tolerance.
"He was our favorite town character," said Jack Gorden Jr., the mayor of Lufkin. "He was a rascal, but our rascal."
Mr. Wilson is survived by his wife, the former Barbara Alberstadt, and his sister, Sharon Allison.

Jodi Arias' defense team has said that the "plethora of unrestrained and bombastic coverage of the previous proceedings" in the Phoenix region would make it impossible for their client to be judged by an impartial jury. They want Arias' sentencing trial moved to another venue.
"Ms. Arias' research indicates that 70 percent of the media coverage that took place in Arizona, took place in Maricopa County," her attorneys said in a motion filed with Maricopa County Superior Court on Tuesday.
In May, the 33-year-old was convicted of first-degree murder for killing her boyfriend, Travis Alexander, back in 2009. The jury was unable to come to unanimous agreement about whether Arias deserved the death penalty or life in prison.
Judge Sherry Stephens said Monday that she needed to review motions put forward by the defense and set a new hearing for September 16.
Kirk Nurmi and Jennifer Willmott, Arias' lawyers, say that their client has a right to a fair trial, and that daily courtroom broadcasts, social media scrutiny and even a made-for-TV movie could influence potential jury members.

Teen ETCC star switches focus to WTCC
ETCC champion Fernando Monje has announced his intention to switch his full attention to WTCC events.
Monje accomplished his mission to clinch the FIA European Touring Car Cup by winning both the final races last weekend at Imola at the wheel of a SUNRED Engineering SEAT Leon TDi car.
Now the 19-year old Spaniard will focus on the WTCC.
After making his maiden appearance at Valencia, also in a SEAT León TDi, he will take part in the remaining overseas events driving a SEAT Leon WTCC powered by the new 1.6-litre turbo engine.
He said: "I am fully focused on the WTCC, I love the cars and the championship.
" I will have to fight hard because there are fantastic drivers and I don't know the tracks.
"For this year my aim is to learn as much as I can to be ready for 2013."

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
Like I stated before, I was really nervous about making this, though I'm not really sure why.
The shirt and the bracers were the easiest part of the costume. The pants were easy as well, but took a bit of time.
The armband, the front skirt and the backskirt were the pieces of the costume that I had the most trouble on. I think that I'll be remaking the armband again. I didn't make it tight enough to stay up.
- Personal Thoughts:
- I really wanted to cosplay Korra as soon as I saw the first episode of the series. She's such an amazing character.
I had purchased the fabric over a year ago and had wanted to debut it sooner, but even though I said I was just being lazy and put it off, inside, I wasn't sure if I could pull it off at all.
I will say this as well. I NEVER want to sew fur AGAIN!!! Seriously, I've never done it before and it wasn't easy. It kept jamming my sewing machine.

"Where is the indignation about the fact that the United States and Soviet Union have accumulated thirty thousand pounds of destructive force for every human being in the world?"
"The United States has been declared under martial law...All constitutional rights have been suspended. Anyone interfering with the collection of urine samples will be shot. Anyone failing to attend morning school prayer will be shot. The number one enemy of progress is questions. National security is more important than individual rights. Sports broadcasts will proceed as scheduled. Shut up, be happy, obey all orders without question. At last everything is done for you."
"If anyone is crazy enough to want to kill a president of the United States, he can do it. All he must be prepared to do is give his life for the president's."
"The firmest of friendships have been formed in mutual adversity, as iron is most strongly united by the fiercest flame"
"All the problems we face in the United States today can be traced to an unenlightened immigration policy on the part of the American Indian"
"There is an option still left to the United States of America, that it is in their choice and depends upon their conduct, whether they will be respectable and prosperous or contemptible and miserable as a Nation"
"The United States has got some of the dumbest people in the world. I want you to know that we know that."
"I ask you to join in a re-United States. We need to empower our people so they can take more responsibility for their own lives in a world that is ever smaller, where everyone counts. We need a new spirit of community, a sense that we are all in this together, or the American Dream will continue to wither. Our destiny is bound up with the destiny of every other American."

This will of course be a series of 26! After all there are 26 letters in the alphabet.
I am hoping to every week design a week around one letter of the alphabet.
I will hopefully have games to play, poems to read, scripture to memorize and so forth.
I'll be using a variety of sources.
These three to start with:
But I won't of course use everything on the different sites. I'll be pulling off what I think I"ll use and all that. :)
Here's what I have to start
an alligator poem and an apple shaped letter book and a letter size sorting game.
I want to make a stencil of the letter A and put it up on the fridge with "a" pictures we find or can draw so that we remember what letter we're working on for the week. :)
I'm not sure about doing this one from DLTK's, book is cute, but seems Like you need LOTS of paper to do it. So just thinking on it yet.
I used this Letter A reproducible from Innovative Classroom.
Here's a neat site! Teacher Planet. Got a craft idea which I'm revamping to make a construction paper apple.
and then I got this idea, since Justin likes cats, to find pictures of cats that begin with the "letter a", so then I went here which got me cat names, and then all I had to do is find pictures. :) Here is an Abyssinian. American Bobtail. American Shorthair.

FastCounter by LinkExchange
Professor Diana Laurillard, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Learning Technologies and Teaching) from the Open University in the United Kingdom, has an international reputation in the areas of learning and teaching and learning technologies, and is giving a free public lecture in August at the University of Sydney, to which all Macquarie staff are invited to attend.
Title: 'University Teaching for the Knowledge Economy: Expert or Practitioner/Knowledge or Skills?'
Date: Friday 3 August, 2001 1.00 - 2.30pm
Venue: Eastern Avenue Complex, University
of Sydney
The lecture will deal with the tension between how the Knowledge Economy changes what students need us to teach, how we teach it, and how we have to maintain the core values of an academic education in the face of these changes.
Free registration is required for this
event. Please e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Learning and Teaching Online is a short course that will help you answer some of these questions. Past participants comment positively on their experience of the technology. By using the technology yourself you discover its positive and negative aspects, and go on to develop your own online teaching strategies. You also learn about time management issues and use WebCT tools such as bulletin board, mail and chat facilities. As one staff member said after attending the course: "The technology is merciless in dealing with the untrained and unprepared!"
The course runs over four weeks. There are two face-to-face sessions and the rest of the time is spent discussing issues online.
Dates: 16 August to 14 September
More details: http://online.mq.edu.au/pub/CFLLTO/
Enquiries: Robyn Philip, CFL, email@example.com, x9271.
To enrol: Phoebe Dangerfield, CFL,

Integrating Generic
Skills in the Curriculum Series: Doing Group Work, Its Problems
and Processes
Working collaboratively is a skill much valued by employer groups, a generic skill identified by Macquarie University, and a teaching and learning strategy fêted for its successful learning outcomes. Although we often ask our students to undertake tasks in groups, with the expectation that the outcomes will be assessable, the learning experience itself can prove problematic, from both the student and teacher perspective.
This is the first in a series of workshops that look closely at generic skills. It will provide participants with an overview of:
the processes involved in assisting students to work and learn effectively in groups; strategies for overcoming problematic aspects of group learning; and tips 'from the field' - experiences of academics at Macquarie who have used group learning in their units.
Date: Monday 13 August
Time: 1.00 - 3.00pm in E6A 116.
Enquiries: Sharon Fraser, x9779.
Bookings: call CPD on x9721 or e-mail
In this workshop we will explore alternative approaches to these challenges so as to enable us to remain personally buoyant and re-empowered even in the face of frustrating and constraining circumstances. This workshop will not offer magical cures but good, solid principles of self-generating 'learned optimism'. The power is in the application.
The workshop is suitable for both academic and general staff.

I experimented with spray tanning using LA Tanning Co at a tanning salon. It was my first time trying spray tan. The results were actually impressive. The tan went on smoother than I expected. My concern was that they'd show up all splotchy in some areas and not others. Not the case. The tan was gradual over several visits so it wasn't too weird to my friends. Having said that, it did work pretty well right off the bat. The hardest thing about the experience was breathing the fumes. I had to hold my breath and would recommend you do the same thing. While it's safe for your skin I doubt the fumes are safe for your lungs. Overall, I was pleased with the results and would recommend this to others. All together I used the product for one month for my experiment. If you're a tanning fanatic I'd recommend this means of tanning.
