Emergency help
Carers often worry about what will happen if, at short notice, they are unable to care.
The Princess Royal Trust for Carers in Hampshire will help you to discuss, develop and implement your own emergency plan so that you can arrange care at short notice.
Once your Emergency Plan has been completed and signed it is backed up by:
- a 24-hour telephone line 0800 169 1577
- information about other services available
- and up to 48 hours of care services free of charge in the event of an emergency
This card, which includes emergency contact numbers, should be carried in your bag or wallet. In the event of an accident, this would help alert police officers, the ambulance service or other emergency response staff to the fact that there is also someone else in need of help.
Complete and print a copy of the carer's emergency card now.
Finding help yourself
There are many organisations that offer short break services that will allow you to have time to yourself, even if it's just for an hour or so. Or you could ask friends and family to help.Good neighbour groups
The Good Neighbours Support Service provides information, guidance, development and support to over 100 independent voluntary groups in Hampshire, enabling them to provide a dependable and trustworthy service. The groups offer neighbourly help to people in their local communities, enabling people to stay independent in their own homes and helping to prevent isolation. Some good neighbour groups may be able to help in an emergency.Friends and family
Ask if friends and family can help you.
Respite breaks and Day CareCare at home
If you need a short break during the day, use our care at home search to find providers who offer a 'sitting service'. You can also search for live-in help to allow you to go away (overnight or for a longer break or holiday).Local care homes
Many care homes offer short stay care if you need a break. Use our care homes search and select 'Short stay (respite) under admissions.
You can also search for care homes which offer day care for non-residents (this might be informal day care, joining in with the daily activities of the residents, or formal, organised day care services)..
Day opportunities
You can look for organisations offering day care or day time activities in our Community directory.Holidays
If the person you look after needs special care whilst on holiday, due to disability or other conditions, there are specialist care holiday organisations. For information, visit our holidays page.
Help from Adult Services
The Take a Break service can only be accessed via Adult Services through a carer's assessment and is provided, under contract, by a range of providers throughout Hampshire

Beringer Vineyards Nightingale Botrytised Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc
Wine Details
Wine Description
(2002 Vintage) "I'm delighted that more and more people are discovering the joys of dessert wines. When these wines are carefully balanced, as I believe this one is, they have an interplay of mellow, intense fruit and caramel flavors and a tantalizing acidity that keeps me coming back to explore how the layers work together and play off against each other. I enjoy drinking this wine with a range of fruit desserts, but I truly consider it a dessert in itself. -Ed Sbragia, Winemaker

Tales from the Art Side Art Blog
The Necessity of Change
by teaching_kids_art , November 27, 2008—12:00 AM
My slightly askew and easily distractible mind often compares the process of teaching kids art to swimming against the current of a rapidly churning river. The implications of this analogy might suggest that I feel some kind of affinity with salmon and the determined effort they make swimming up stream each mating season. The fact is, I do not. The salmon perseveres so that they can eventually spawn, whereas I would simply like a teenager to be able to tell the difference between an abstract painting and a non-objective one. But before I get myself hopelessly off topic, allow me to try and illustrate my point. Teaching kids art, or any subject for that matter, is similar to paddling across the current in that it requires an exorbitant amount of effort. Often there is a distinct impression that, despite all the kicking and flailing, no real progress is being made. This can lead to an overwhelming temptation to resist fighting the current altogether and, instead, be intentionally swept away with it. In my experience, there is one catalyst that has proven to be remarkably effective at promoting the level of determination it takes to keep your head above water in the teaching business, and that, is change. Change is an absolute necessity.
I must clarify though that change, in and of itself, is of no real benefit without the right attitude. There must be a conscious mindset in place that allows the positive benefits of change to take root in the mind of its recipient. Even in my limited years of experience, I have seen countless teachers overwhelmed by the weight of change. Embittered, they expend their energy grumbling and groaning about why nothing stays the same. Like the Ghost of Christmas Past, these educational apparitions roam the halls shaking their chains and lamenting the good ol__™ days. This is unacceptable, the stakes are too high and public schools have no room for educators without the stomach for change. Our modern world, and thus our children, are changing at an exponential rate. We must face this fact head-on and force ourselves to adapt if we genuinely hope to engage this, and future generations.
However, it is not enough to simply tolerate change, it must be encouraged, nurtured, and celebrated. One of my professional credos is that I never teach a class the same way twice. With each new semester something in my syllabus is modified, adjusted, rearranged, or completely thrown out. Projects are tweaked, new media is explored, ideas are borrowed and adapted. It is my hope that each new subsequent version of the class is an improvement that makes the overall course more worthwhile for the students. And students do frequently give me one of the nicer compliments a teacher can receive, albeit they do it unknowingly. This occurs when a former student discovers that the same class they just took from me is doing something they didn__™t get to do. And they express their dissatisfaction with a level of sensitivity and tact known only to the teenaged. That is to say they stomp their feet and whine about why they didn__™t get to do anything cool like this. But that begrudged comment is invaluable feedback to me as it provides evidence that the changes are having an effect. I won__™t, however, even attempt to suggest that I am consistently successful in those efforts, but that doesn__™t stop me from tinkering. Besides that, I__™m safeguarded by a back-up philosophy for when things go wrong
And that leads me to another important clarification about change, the fact that all change is not inherently good. But I do know this, the attitude with which we approach any change, be it good or bad, is the single greatest factor in determining how that change will ultimately effect us. Change has the remarkable ability to alter our perspective and allow us to see ourselves and our surroundings in a new light. As we fight our way up the stream of life, we need the scenery along the shore to slowly change in order to know that we___re getting somewhere. Without that scrolling landscape in the background, we are simply beating the water in vain, wearing ourselves out, and tempting stagnation. More often than not, the most disgruntled and frustrated teachers are the ones who have been teaching the same exact way for the vast majority of their tenure. Frustration is inevitable when kids with iPods are taught with the same methodologies as were their predecessors with transistor radios.
The rejuvenating properties of change can be surprising when they are approached with a positive outlook. This point has become exceeding clear to me during this present school year; a year that has been privy to a great many changes. Building modifications, new classroom assignments, and new administrative teams begin the list. Followed by an increase in my course load, whereas I used to teach two classes in a six period day, I now teach four. Two of those classes I__™ve never taught and I__™m assisting in a complete rewrite of their curriculum. And finally we__™ve added a new teacher in our department as our long time art department chair retired last year. (If you__™ve ever known an art teacher, we can sometimes be a sensitive and socially awkward group, and new personalities in such close proximity can sometimes be a bit overwhelming for us.)
At the end of this past summer, as I stood on the precipice that overlooked a new school year overflowing with so much change, I was certainly not without my worries. But I gave them to God and threw myself into the mix. I have, without question, been busier than I have ever been as a teacher. And as exhausting as it__™s been, it__™s also been frantically exciting. The new classes are a blast and the new staff member has been a dream come true. Brad LeDuc has not only become a quick friend, but is also an exceptional teacher with a wealth of ideas and a vast source of inspiration for me personally; I__™m honored to be teaching with him. And I__™m elated to report that this year has been the most exciting semester of my professional career, and it__™s only half way through. And as this semester draws to a close, I find myself eagerly anticipating the next one. My brain is already cooking up some new ideas, the art department as a whole is bouncing around several others, and I__™m very much looking forward to seeing what else will change.

Mr. Gurney,A friend just inrudotced me to your blog, and I'm really enjoying it. It is great to have an illustrator of your caliber commenting on your processes as well as your tour of art schools. (As a RISD alum, I'll be curious to see what you think of Providence.)I look forward to future posts, and again, thanks much for the opportunity to peak into your creative thinking.--Richard Case

Erik,As always your prunoofd insights deepen the conversation. My response to this painting is entirely subjective, of course, and based on a poster-size reproduction I have at home (Sorry, Diantres, I couldn't find a bigger one on the web). Seeing the whole and its parts gives me more than mere pleasure in its aesthetic surface and its narrative detail: the whole painting expresses to me a feeling of a joy of life and dolci far niente, which is just as worthy an emotion for art, I'm sure you'll grant, as the darker emotions.To be accurate, the painting is not a purely academic in the sense that it was seen as very progressive in its day. Contemporary critics objected to the figures on the bridge handled in light values, or the thick paint in the reflections (I agree, Andy, the water is amazing), or the cropping, which is very like Degas and eastern art.Regarding "masterpiece" or "chef-d'oeu vre" or "capolavoro" or whatever you want to call it, I think there are some objective measures, and it's not some pronouncement on high. May I suggest that a painting is a master work if it's 1. loved by the public over more than half a century, 2. the best work of an artist's career, and 3.typical or resonant of its zeitgeist. So perhaps we could agree that Picasso's Guernica is a masterpiece even if it may not be someone's "cup of tea."

thanks for the great topic. (change)
i am a life long artist who thought of myself as a traditionalist in creating art works such as oil, watercolor and pastels. i have embraced the computer as a new medium to create new art and have found such apprehension from other artist that i am taken back by some of the negative remarks.
after seeing this i realized that with change comes the fear of loosing something and the extra effort it takes to open up to something new.
keep up the great work and keep changing it's what keeps us alive.

Even though I'm a borderline Luddite, I nevertheless recognize the importance, or at least inevitability, of change. One could argue that there is no timeless art: it is only a current concept of reality. Keep plowing ahead.

11/28/2008 * 09:22:08
Change = Growth. Growth takes energy, enthusiasm and motivation (for good or evil).
It saddens me to think that the men and women who choose to be educators and who have an enormous amount of influence on the next generation of our 'thinkers & doers' would not be comfortable with change. Imagine if Barack & Michelle OBama's teachers were numb to change....in fact I like to imagine that their teachers sparked the fire that led them to be the great leaders they are today. Imagine if THEY weren't prepared for change?
GO FORTH AND EMBRACE CHANGE, Michael. You are among the many heros that walk the halls of our educational institutions and embrace the need for change!
Each of your posts is a gem. Thank You!
president, ArtId

I look forward to your monthly columns. I am a teacher as well, and although I don't teach art, much of what you said in this article (and several others) is so familiar to me. Change is a constant, isn't it? I've always believed that if I'm not having fun in the classroom, then the students can't possibly be having fun. I continually try to create change as I prepare syllabi and course projects, doing my best to make learning fun.
Thank you for sharing your insights, as well as your wonderful art.

In an effort to get Andrew worn out a bit so that he would nap in the afternoon I took him over to the Audubon Society to walk through the woods. This would wear him out a bit and allow him some exploration. He certainly enjoyed being able to wander around and pick up leaves and rocks. He also enjoyed climbing all over everything, especially rocks. He's got no fear.

Brockton, MA (PressExposure) February 27, 2009 -- OCES announced today that on March 18th, Brockton Mayor James Harrington will be among over 1,000 mayors across the country, to show their support for the Meals On Wheels programs in their cities by delivering meals to seniors on what is known as Mayors For Meals Day.
On this designated day, Mayor Harrington and OCES Executive Director Diana DiGiorgi, will visit Meals On Wheels clients at their homes and deliver the noontime meals.
âThe Meals On Wheels program is essential. We have many seniors in the city who are unable to get to the grocery store or who otherwise would not get a nutritious daily meal,â noted DiGiorgi.
The Meals On Wheels program serves Brockton residents age 60 and over, as well as disabled residents under 60. Because the Nutrition Program is primarily federally funded, there is no income-based test; all residents at least 60 years of age are eligible. Meals On Wheels, which is one aspect of the OCES Nutrition Program, is for elders who are unable to attend an OCES congregate meal site.
Elders and those younger than 60 who are disabled and able to get out for themselves may visit one of the agency's congregate meal sites. Here, elders receive a well-balanced meal and have the opportunity to participate in a number of other diverse programs offered by OCES.
The Meals On Wheels program and the congregate meal sites rely on help from volunteers. Meals On Wheels needs volunteer drivers to deliver meals to elders throughout the Brockton area. Volunteer drivers typically deliver 15-20 meals a day, between 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. and are reimbursed for mileage. Volunteers are needed Monday through Friday, yet they may help out for any number of days per week that they desire.
Volunteers are also needed to set up, bag and distribute meals at the Belair, Manning, Caffrey and Campello congregate meal sites.
Anyone who is interested in volunteering at least two hours per week as a Meals On Wheels driver or as a helper at one of the congregate meal sites, contact Shawn Smith, Nutrition Director at OCES at (508) 584-1561.
OCES serves elders, their families and caregivers in the towns of Abington, Avon, Bridgewater, Brockton, Carver, Duxbury, East Bridgewater, Easton, Halifax, Hanover, Hanson, Kingston, Lakeville, Marshfield, Middleboro, Pembroke, Plymouth, Plympton, Rockland, Stoughton, Wareham, West Bridgewater and Whitman.
The organization's mission is to provide services that support the dignity and independence of elders by helping them maximize their quality of life; live safely and in good health; and, prevent unnecessary or premature institutionalization.
The agency has 130 employees and operates more than 12 programs serving elders, their families and caregivers. For more information call (508) 584-1561 or visit the website at http://www.oldcolonyelderservices.org.

"As soon as I was old enough (1964), I got myself to New York. I learned the subway, went to (now long gone) little movie theaters, sketched in the Bleecker St. Café, and saw everything at the Museum of Modern Art. I was going to college in Brooklyn and found the best free thing to do in New York was to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, and it still is, although now I usually do it from Manhattan and then stroll along the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. The two best movie theaters in NY are now the Film Forum on West Houston St. and the Paris on 58th St. just west of 5th Ave. (You'll understand why when you go.) If you're walking around Midtown, you'll appreciate the bathrooms at the fabulous Japanese department store, Takashimaya, on 5th Ave. between 54th & 55th. The best place for breakfast is the Dining Room at the Neue Gallery, 5th Ave. & 86th, home to the world's most ... [more]

The Financial District
At New York City's southern tip is the Financial District: home to City Hall, the New York Stock Exchange, and Wall Street. Here day traders, financiers, and the city government and legal system hum throughout the day. The blocks emptied of the World Trade Center are no longer silent: Daniel Libeskinds Freedom Tower is going up. If business doesnt bring you to Wall Street, bring yourself for pleasure. Wonderful old mercantile offices look south onto Battery Park and Governers Island beyond it. Battery Park City offers a newly refurbished greenway--lovely in itself--with spectacular views of the Statue of Liberty. Heading east and north bypass South Street Seaport (pure tourist trap), and linger on neighboring Water Street for a reminder of the great fishing port that New York City once was.

An overwhelming majority of Americans say they want mandatory labeling of foods containing genetically modified ingredients. In a report published by the Mellman Group in November last year, 89% of the 800 peopled surveyed favored mandatory labels on "foods which have been genetically engineered or containing genetically engineered ingredients."
Various surveys dating back to 2008 received a similar response: Around 90% or more people said genetically modified (GM) food should be labeled. This isn't particularly surprising, whether or not people agree with GM foods, most people feel they have a right to be informed about what they're putting in their bodies. At the heart of it, GM labeling is about giving people a choice.
On July 6, the Stabenow-Roberts GMO labeling bill was passed in the Senate, but it's not good news for those who want clear, compulsory GM labeling laws. Wenonah Hauter, executive director of Food & Water Watch, wrote in a statement:
[T]he advocacy groups that have fought so long and hard for clear GMO labeling aren't cheering: They know the bill is a gift to the agribusiness and biotech industries—not a compromise. That's why consumer advocates have dubbed the bill the Denying Americans the Right to Know (DARK) Act.
Hauter cites several problems with the bill, including the fact that manufacturers can use "QR codes" and "call for more information," which isn't exactly clear labeling. Further to this, the bill's definition of "genetic engineering" may leave out many foods that should be labeled. The bill also fails to include provisions to penalize violators, which Hauter argues essentially means the requirements are voluntary.
On their website, March Against Monsanto has provided a list of senators who voted "yes" on the Stabenow-Roberts bill and includes how much they were paid by Monsanto for their affirmative vote. The final tally for the amount Monsanto shelled out is a whopping $58 million. The March Against Monsanto article also includes those senators who voted "nay" and a group of senators has spoken out about the inadequacy of the bill.
When it comes to lobbying against GM labeling, big food and biotech companies appear to have limitless funds. In 2015, it's estimated that $101 million was spent in an effort to avert mandatory labeling laws.
March Against Monsanto is urging people to call their senators now to protest the Stabenow-Roberts bill. They have provided a list of contact numbers on their site. If you are among the 90% of Americans who want clear, concise GM labeling, perhaps it's time to pick up the phone.

text: Hey lawnsite community. Something I've been thinking about for a while now but don't know if its worth it. Here is the scenario: My operation is expanding. I have a continental cargo 7 x 12 double axle enclosed trailer that I am going to use It is in decent shape but part of the back steel bumper has rusted out and the back doors are pretty beat up. They will need some serious fixing to be in good working order again. I am wondering if anyone has ever converted the swing open style door to a ramp door before? I am probably going to go for it once it gets a little warmer out, I will post pictures as I go. I don't really want to just use ramps since I will have to put a decent amount into fixing the doors anyways, it seems as if it might just make more sense to build the ramp door since I plan to use the trailer for a while. I got the trailer for free from my dad. He used to use it for work but no longer has any use for it and it just sits so.. I thought it could be useful to me. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks Fellas YardBros Outdoors www.yardbros.com

That's exactly it. It pops up in other areas too (I've also gotten it for expressing a desire to EBF and cloth diaper) but birth is definitely the most emotionally charged one. If someone else had/plans to have an epidural (or uses sposies or feeds their baby with formula), it really doesn't matter to me or affect my view of that person as a woman or a mother. I don't think mamas who don't choose NCB are "less than" or that their births aren't as legitimate or that I'm superior in some way because I am choosing NCB (assuming all continues to go well, of course). We all make the best choices we can for our own realities and preferences. It's not a competition.

Aage V Skaaret works and lives in Tangen, in Hedmark county, Norway.
His pictures express in one way what we can see through our eyes, but they also manage to create their own world based on non-verbal communication between the viewer and the picture.
It incites us to relate to our dreams, longings, sorrow and happiness. He makes us see the motive in new ways, whether it is a vase or a mighty mountain.
By a constant search for motives and the development of new techniques that fit that specific motive, he has managed to create his own personal expression.
Aage V has had exhibitions several places in Norway; among others in Reimannsgaarden in Grimstad, Norsk Skogmuseum (Norwegian forest museum) in Elverum, Galleri NK in Lillehammer, Hamar Sagbladfabrikk, Henie Onstad kunstsenter in Oslo, Galleri Albin upp in Oslo and Nordic Light international festival of photography.

Lime 43 is a new cocktail is born with Licor 43 and Pure Lime Juice!
Whilst feeling pretty hot the other evening I accidentally hit on the recipe for a new cocktail which I have decided to name the Lime 43.
You take 50ml of Licor 43 and a couple of liberal splashes of Pure Lime Juice (it's made by the clever folks who brought us Pure Lemon Juice), in a large wine glass or a whiskey tumbler.
Then add ice cubes if desired and then top up to the brim with chilled Cream Soda, then stir.
And enjoy.
The website contains other cocktail recipes and some information on this awesome drink.

My favorite song changes about as often as the days of the week. There is one song, though, that could be my theme song. Written and recorded by Israel Houghton, it begins with these words: "Away, away from the noise…"
Admittedly, I do have a problem with noise.
If I'm trying to concentrate on something, others talking in the same room distracts me. The noise of 24-hour news networks makes me a nervous wreck! And I don't like crowds. To me, it's all noise.
Are you bothered by noise?
Walking into a room full of people can cause me near panic. When we're going to an event together, I'll often say to my husband, "Do not leave me when we get inside." He tries to stay close, but it never works out because he has no trouble mingling with every last person in the room.
And I hate traffic.
When behind the wheel of the car, I'll go out of my way to find a route around the traffic (the noise). This drives the hubs crazy, by the way. He simply cannot understand why I'd willingly choose a route that takes thirty seconds (or thirty minutes) longer to avoid noise.
It's true my issue with noise is mostly due to my personality. I won't apologize for the way I am, but I have tried to learn to adapt to things that make me uncomfortable or are challenging – including noise. As they say, it's part of growing up. Maybe I'll get there one day.
In the meantime, I'll look for opportunities to escape and regroup.
One of my favorite bloggers tells her readers, "Come on in out of the noise." Of course, I love this. Life is full of noise. Everyone and everything clamors loudly for our attention.
Sometimes we just need to get away.
The beginning of a new year is the perfect time for this. Unfortunately, January is not necessarily the best time to physically get away. Most of us are returning to the normal routine following the holiday break – work schedules, ministry obligations, school and sports activities.
Whatever it is that beckons you back to the noise, you can still get away. If we start to view our quiet time with God as getting away from the noise, rest and refreshing will be sure to follow. Even a short fifteen minutes in His presence becomes the reprieve we need.
This brings me back to the lyrics of the song. Music has been a huge part of my life. It's hard to limit myself to favorites, but this is one of them…"Away, away from the noise, alone with You. Away, away to hear Your voice, and meet with You. Nothing else matters. My one desire is… To worship You, I live. To worship You, I live. I live to worship You."
Need to step away?
If the noise is getting to you – kids, work, deadlines, unpaid bills – maybe it's time. Whatever it is that's noise to you today, why not take a few moments away from it all. We were created to worship Him. In fact, it is what we, as His creation, crave more than anything else.
So, breath a prayer, listen to an encouraging song, read the scriptures, take a walk, enjoy the beauty of His creation – and find your center in Jesus Christ…
"Away, away from the noise…"
Listen to the song To Worship You, I Live by Israel Houghton and New Breed.Sometimes we just need to get away from the noise Click To Tweet
In his semi-final performance, The Voice contestant Christian Cuevas delivered this version of To Worship You, I Live. People are still talking about it!

The wind howled it's fury as it drove the rain down onto the two figures standing on top of the hill. The two figures were little more than darker shadows against the complete darkness of the night in the country, the stars that were usually seen twinkling in the sky were cowering behind the oppressive clouds that covered the horizon as far as the eye could see. The trees quivered in fright as spears of lightening sparked into life and crisscrossed their way across the night sky as they were chased quickly by the thunder booming overhead. The grass trembled as the wind's fury grew and the tension in the air reached a crescendo, yet the two figures remained on the hill unmoving and seemingly oblivious to the tensions whirling around them.
One of the figures began to speak but was cut short as the wind scattered their words and the thunder growled it's anger at their presence. With a slight grumble and a flick of their wand the figure began again and their words made it to the figure standing motionless in front of them.
"You knew this day would come."
The first figure spoke in an almost bored tone of voice. Though the darkness made discerning features nigh on impossible it was clear that this speaker was male and his posture suggested that he was calm, yet a slight stiffness to his shoulders conveyed an underlying tension and a readiness for action should it be required.
The remaining figure did not reply. The wind howled and whipped their cloaks around them. The rain continued on relentlessly. The lightening flashed and the thunder boomed, yet the second figure continued to remain silent. The second figure stood facing the first with a distance of 6 strides between them. The second figure was female and her posture was not as calm as the first's, her shoulders were slightly too high and her hands did not hang naturally by her sides but were pressed stiffly against her body with one hand gripping her wand. The tension in her posture was greater than the first figure, but unlike the first figure her body language did not indicate that she was prepared for any action that could occur – the hand on the wand was merely a nervous gesture.
The two remained silent as they observed and noted the stance of the figure opposite them. The wind picked up and swirled around them, grabbing their cloaks and tugging on the second figure's long hair, howling it's fury as it's efforts were once again ignored. In answer to this howl the lightening flared overhead and the thunder rumbled it's displeasure, this did no good as the figures remained motionless.
"You shouldn't be surprised, it was always meant to end like this."
The first figure spoke again, his tone just as bored as before but this time a slight amusement could be heard. His head tilted to the side slightly as he observed the woman standing opposite him; at his words a slight shift in her posture could be seen, the stiffness to her shoulder's increased and the hand grasping the wand clenched slightly. If they had met in daylight he would have seen her knuckles turn white and an annoyed scowl flicker across her face in response to his amusement. It suited both of them that it was dark, neither party could clearly see the emotions on the other one's face, if they could it would only speed up their encounter and bring it to a hasty and untimely end.
"I – I'm not surprised."
She wasn't fooling either of them. He hadn't missed the slight tremor to her voice and the forced calm only served to highlight her surprise, not mask it as she had hoped. She was never able to lie to him. Her posture changed once more as her back straightened and her head lifted higher in an attempt to fake an air of calm control. A slight chuckle traveled across the space between them and her hands clenched in fury as she realized he could see right through her mask – even in the complete darkness that surrounded them.
"You never could lie to me darling."
The stress on the last word and slight sneer to his voice did not escape her attention. A faint doubt occurred to her as she questioned whether anything he had ever said or done had been true. As her doubt increased her shoulder's drooped noticeably which wasn't lost on the man in front of her. Every action, every whispered promise, every word he had ever said was brought into question and her resolve weakened before his eyes.
An unpleasant grin spread across his face – she couldn't see it but he just couldn't help himself, his wicked glee grew and blossomed in his chest as he watched the woman in front of him droop as her strength left her. Her posture reminded him of an insolent child who had not yet learned the importance of how their appearance affects how they look in the eyes of others. Her form was slouched; not in a casual way but in an expression of sorrow and defeat, it suited her.
"It's a shame really. It was fun, you and I. However, it's served it's purpose. I no longer need you and we can't have you running off to expose my secrets now, can we?"
His words dripped with poisoned honey and they caused her to flinch and wither slightly. She couldn't accept that it had all been a lie. She had trusted him, put her faith in him and he had used her as a means to an end? She couldn't believe him, yet his tone held an air of finality and killed off the reply that had started to form on her lips. She couldn't believe him, yet she knew he was telling the truth. With a grim resolve she straightened her spine and met his gaze as best she could in the smothering darkness. His shadow had moved closer towards her, that much was certain, but his features remained lost in the darkness, it was better this way – she could not have coped with the smirk that would have shone triumphantly on his face.
"It'll all be over soon, my dearest."
He advanced slowly as the thunder clapped ominously and the wind shrieked it's terror. Her grip on her wand had loosened as her resolve had left her. She did not raise her wand or make any attempt at defending herself. It would be pointless, she could not escape this – she could not escape him.
His eyes flashed with barely repressed excitement as he raised his wand and pointed it at her chest. He was ready for this, he had been ready for this eventuality from the very beginning and it was finally here. His smile grew as he felt his magic focus on his wand and the words formed on his lips.
"Avada kedavra"
The feel of the dark spell had been intoxicating. It left him trembling as his magic rushed through him and towards his target. He was not prepared for the twisted joy brought on by the rush of dark magic, but he should have expected it – there is a reason why the Dark Arts are so addictive.
A flash of green, vibrant and full of life as it took her own life from her. The green light lit up her face in the moments before her death and he had seen her grim resolve – she could not escape it, but she had been ready. He respected that about her, a Gryffindor through and through, brave right up to the very end.

This week I'm going to share some personal thoughts on the three areas of the church I manage. Starting with the youngest of ages first, let's cover what I believe about Children's Ministry at Trinity Church.
- I Believe that what happens in a preschool classroom is as relevant to the spiritual growth of our church as what my Senior Pastor teaches from the pulpit each morning.
- I Believe that the overall health of our entire church is dependent on how we reach out to and disciple the youngest of children in Lubbock, TX.
- I Believe that those that serve and lead and invest in our children each week are in a better place to be blessed by God than those that do not.
- I Believe that teenagers willing to serve in Children's Ministry are developing a heart of compassion that will benefit them for the rest of their lives.
- I Believe that it's allright to criticize our methods, programming, and systems in order to improve and upgrade what we do to reach children and families.
- I Believe that events are judged as successful by not how many attend, but by how many come back on the weekend.
- I Believe that kids should be given the opportunity to accept Christ at church, but that parents should be involved in the process and supported to continue the spiritual conversation.
- I Believe that parents carry the primary spiritual burden to disciple their own children, and that it's our job as a church to encourage the necessary steps to lead their families at home.
- I Believe that Children's Ministry brings about changes in the world in the here and now, and not only in the future.
- I Believe that every weekend holds within it the opportunity for life change in the heart of a child.
So there I went, and shared many of the core truths I believe at it pertains to Children's Ministry. I'd love to hear what you would add, and what you think about my own list. I'm sure I forgot some things, and maybe I'll come back and add a few here and there to keep the list current.

A 29-year-old woman died in police custody in Houston Sunday, police said, marking the second custody death in the city in less than 10 days.
The deaths, which are under investigation by the Houston Police Department, come amid an uproar into the case of Sandra Bland, who was found hanging in her cell in nearby Waller County on July 13. Although Waller County is part of the greater Houston metro area, the Waller County Jail and Waller County District Attorney's office are not affiliated with the city of Houston or the Houston police.
The woman in the Houston case, whose identity has not been released, was arrested for public intoxication, the Houston police said today.
She was examined at the scene by paramedics and then taken to the Houston PD's Southeast Jail by a patrol officer, police said. "Upon arrival [at the jail] and before being booked into the jail, the woman was found to be unresponsive," police said.

We were supposed to be in court this past and most of my life has a little crazy. I failed at the updating talking about my two books that I have read thus far this week.
But, in the middle of this craziness, we had a day off and Josh and I decided to go out for our second dinner out. Well, we went out for our second lunch out at Cold River Cafe and Restaurant.
It was amazing. If you're ever going along the trail or in Charlemont, let me seriously tell you to please consider this amazing restaurant.
I personally had the Reuben sandwich with french fries and mac and cheese.
First, the mac and cheese was the most amazing macaroni and cheese I've had in years. It was absolutely to die for. I could have eaten a plate of that alone and been happy.
Then the Reuben. Oh my goodness. That was heaped with meat.
My husband had the steak and cheese and it looked amazing. I tried one of his onion rings and it was so obviously not an onion ring out of the freezer- they were super great,
The people who served us were wonderful and a blast. The waiter joked along with us and was a great time
I would recommend this place, 10/10! Our next date night will hopefully be happening soon, an at home date night! Stay tuned for my date night box Joshua will be getting very soon!
Be Blessed,
Lauren Jane

It can be geeky or just plain useful. Examples:
- Useful Chrome Extension
- Useful 'Lab' or Add On
- Unique uses for apps like Draw or Sheet
Slam Schedule for Tuesday
Here are some examples of Cool Demo Slams :)

Games I'll Be Getting This Fall: 2010 Edition
I plan on actually getting all of these! It may be this fall, or it may be sometime off in the post-cyberpocalypse -- but either way, it's a totally done deal, as far as I'm concerned.
I plan on actually getting all of these! It may be this fall, or it may be sometime off in the post-cyberpocalypse -- but either way, it's a totally done deal, as far as I'm concerned.
Getting the keyboard bundle for this, for 360. After owning more than 500 songs for Rock Band games to-date, there ain't no way I'm missing an event like this.
I'll be getting the 360 version, since I was totally boned on the PC version's buggy, custom-soundtrack-less nature last time. :|
I'll be getting this on release day! I want to talk to my friends about how nice that one Last Airbender trailer looks.
Aside from that one EyeToy game nobody cares about, Harmonix has a perfect track record. This is Kinect's killer app, and I'll be getting it day-one.
I'm anticipating this exclusively as a pack-in with Kinect proper! Maybe I'll enjoy farming achievements in it, at least...?
Exergames are wonderful! It'll be interesting to see if this one holds up to scrutiny any better than ResponDesign's Yourself!Fitness did.
...okay, so here's the deal: I'm going to put this on my Amazon wish list and forget it's there. Anyone who hates me can buy it and I promise I'll play this motherfucker to completion. Scout's honor!
Secretly almost as excited about this as I am about Rock Band 3. This makes it the third rhythm game on my list, all of which will come out in the span of thirty days! I'm praying that Def Jam Rapstar isn't any good (sorry, Jeff).
This doesn't count as a rhythm/music game; this is a beat-droppin' adventure! And I'm getting it; so there. :|
My goal is to eventually own every Sonic game (in content only; lame ports absolutely do not count). This one has the benefit of actually looking fun to play. Huh; how about that? Maybe my longwinded letter to SEGA of America wasn't in vain after all?
Unless it absolutely, completely blows -- to the extent that got me to avoid Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust when it came out -- I consider it my destiny to buy and beat this game. I did it with Sonic '06; I'll do it with this.
This, however... well, at least it'll be funny to watch me play it. I have a problem :\
It's a blue-skies SEGA game -- and the spiritual successor to Advance Wars, at that! How can I refuse?
Freakin' PSP, man -- how'd you come out with so many hits in '010? This game is destined to be fantastic; I can't wait to brag to my boyfriend how great it is, so we can AdhocParty our way through the campaign.
It's a shame that the only PS3 game I'm looking forward to is a rehash of a bunch of PS2 games, two of which I've already played. But whatever! I can't wait for it; I'd buy it at $60 if I had to. :D
I've been jonesing for a good 3D platformer for a while, and this one looks totally dope! I love the visual style and the concept behind it, in particular. :D
With Itagaki gone, it'll be interesting to see if Samus retains the trademark breastacular nature expected of a Team Ninja female. Oh -- also, the gameplay itself looks tight. Yeah...
Referring to Telltale's episodic series, since I'm totally gay for both Telltale AND BttF. God, I hope it's good. :X
This one's two years old, but I plan on getting it -- after all, can't start up Dead Space 2 without getting the backstory, right?
I'll be nabbing this one used for less than $20 to prepare for my similarly-sub-$20 purchase of Fable III! Don't scoff, Microsoft will make their cut in DLC.
Referring to the secret fourth DLC that's been stealth-announced. I love this game, and will gladly play as much of it as humanly possible.
Referring to "Minerva's Den", which is an intriguing concept I'd love to see in action.
DAY ONE. I'll rob an old lady to get it if I have to. :|
Use your keyboard!

This is nice. I like the different textures you achieved by using the chalk. I have tried pastels before and I know they can be challenging (but maybe it's just me.. lol), so the very tiny details for the stars is very impressive. =)

This is a beautiful illustration. I love her expression and the soft texture, almost like it was drawn in chalk. =) You have a new fan. I adore your work!

Who We Are
First, we'll tell you what we are NOT about… we aren't going to lead you on a cookie-cutter, photography-in-a-can style photo workshop where the instructor is off taking her own pictures while students are left to their own luck hoping they can capture a good image.
For beginning students, our personalized style of instruction is designed and proven to provide you with the skills and knowledge you need to create memorable photographs, not just "snapshots." We work to be sure you take photos that you will claim proudly!
For intermediate level students, you will expand your thinking and skill sets, so your photographs will reflect a fresh enthusiasm, life and perspective, resulting in images that you only imagined before. Your images will no longer be "pictures" of things, but will tell full, rich stories.
Camera Coaching Series was developed by photographer Robbin Joachim to provide workshops that are designed to be easy-to-understand, information-packed, FUN, and designed to promote creativity for beginners or those with some experience as photographers.
CCS is dedicated to providing quality courses to help you reach your photography goals, whether it's pictures of your children, grandchildren, pets, or vacation.

Gov. Terry E. Branstad and Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds were joined at their regular weekly press conference today by Department of Cultural Affairs Director Mary Cownie to announce a blockbuster exhibition, "Hollywood in the Heartland," will open this month at the State Historical Museum of Iowa. The State Historical Museum is a bureau of the State Historical Society of Iowa, a division of the Department of Cultural Affairs.
"I'm pleased to announce another great exhibit -- "Hollywood in the Heartland" -- launching at the State Historical Museum," said Branstad. "Hollywood in the Heartland explores our legacy with the silver screen from the late 1800s to today's movies and filmmaking and I invite all Iowans to visit the State Historical Museum to see this blockbuster exhibit."
"I'm excited for this exhibit to open because it offers an opportunity for movie buffs, historians and family members of all ages to learn about Iowa's connections to the movie industry," said Reynolds. "This exhibit not only showcases our past, it also points us to the future where new movie and media production technologies are generating more opportunities for creativity, growth and expansion. The Governor and I invite audiences of all ages to come see it beginning on June 27th."
"Hollywood in the Heartland" is a 6,400 square-foot exhibition that shows how Iowa and Iowans have been portrayed on film, uncovers the beauty of Iowa's historic theaters and their role in Iowa communities, and the people who have made an impression on-screen and behind the scenes. The exhibition will include distinct areas tracing Iowa's stage and screen heritage from opera houses and Vaudeville performances to Iowa filmmaking today.
"When it comes to the movies, the best ones capture our common bonds as people," said Cownie. "This new exhibit reflects the contributions Iowa and Iowans have made in bringing magic to the movies in Hollywood."
During the press conference, Branstad and Reynolds offered a glimpse at what the exhibit will include, including the Academy Award won by Iowa native Cloris Leachman for Best Supporting Actress in "The Last Picture Show" (1971).
Other artifacts to be on display include:
During opening weekend, Donna Reed's Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in "From Here to Eternity" (1953)
A 1933 copy of Phil Stong's "State Fair" and a ticket from the 1945 World Premiere of "State Fair" in Des Moines.
A uniform from "The Music Man" in 1962
Props from "Cold Turkey" in 1971
A replica 1919 Chicago White Sox uniform from the "Field of Dreams" in 1989
And we have a bicycle used by Meryl Streep in "The Bridges of Madison County" in 1995
Personalities included in the exhibit will be novelist Oscar Micheaux, the Blank and Fridley families, and actors from across the state. Featured actors and actresses will include Leachman, Reed, John Wayne and Ashton Kutcher, among many others.

Set up disaster recovery to Azure for on-premises VMware VMs
This tutorial shows you how to set up disaster recovery to Azure for on-premises VMware VM running Windows. In this tutorial, you learn how to:
- Create a Recovery Services vault for Site Recovery
- Set up the source and target replication environments
- Create a replication policy
- Enable replication for a VM
This is the third tutorial in a series. This tutorial assumes that you have already completed the tasks in the previous tutorials:
Before you start, it's helpful to review the architecture for disaster recovery scenario.
Configure VMware account permissions
- Create a role at the vCenter level. Give the role the name Azure_Site_Recovery.
Assign the following permissions to the Azure_Site_Recovery role.
Task Role/Permissions Details VM discovery Data Center object –> Propagate to Child Object, role=Read-only At least a read-only user.
User assigned at datacenter level, and has access to all the objects in the datacenter.
To restrict access, assign the No access role with the Propagate to child object, to the child objects (vSphere hosts, datastores, VMs and networks).
Full replication, failover, failback Data Center object –> Propagate to Child Object, role=Azure_Site_Recovery
Datastore -> Allocate space, browse datastore, low-level file operations, remove file, update virtual machine files
Network -> Network assign
Resource -> Assign VM to resource pool, migrate powered off VM, migrate powered on VM
Tasks -> Create task, update task
Virtual machine -> Configuration
Virtual machine -> Interact -> answer question, device connection, configure CD media, configure floppy media, power off, power on, VMware tools install
Virtual machine -> Inventory -> Create, register, unregister
Virtual machine -> Provisioning -> Allow virtual machine download, allow virtual machine files upload
Virtual machine -> Snapshots -> Remove snapshots
User assigned at datacenter level, and has access to all the objects in the datacenter.
To restrict access, assign the No access role with the Propagate to child object, to the child objects (vSphere hosts, datastores, VMs and networks).
Create a user on the vCenter server or vSphere host. Assign the role to the user.
Specify what you want to replicate
The Mobility service must be installed on each VM you want to replicate. Site Recovery installs this service automatically when you enable replication for the VM. For automatic installation, you need to prepare an account that Site Recovery will use to access the VM.
You can use a domain or local account. For Linux VMs, the account should be root on the source Linux server. For Windows VMs, if you're not using a domain account, disable Remote User Access control on the local machine:
- In the registery, under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, add the DWORD entry LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy and set the value to 1.
Set up the source environment
Setting up the source environment consists of downloading the Site Recovery Unified Setup, setting up the configuration server and registering it in the vault, and discovering VMs.
The configuration server is a single on-premises VMware VM to host all of the Site Recovery components. This VM runs the configuration server, process server, and master target server.
- The configuration server coordinates communications between on-premises and Azure, and manages data replication.
- The process server acts as a replication gateway. Receives replication data, optimizes it with caching, compression, and encryption, and sends it to Azure storage. The process server also installs the Mobility service on VMs you want to replicate, and performs automatic discovery of VMs on on-premises VMware servers.
- The master target server handles replication data during failback from Azure.
The configuration server VM should be a highly available VMware VM that meets the following requirements:
|Number of CPU cores
|Number of disks
|3 - OS disk, process server cache disk, retention drive (for failback)
|Disk free space (process server cache)
|Disk free space (retention disk)
|Operating system version
|Windows Server 2012 R2
|Operating system locale
|English (en-us)
|VMware vSphere PowerCLI version
|PowerCLI 6.0
|Windows Server roles
|Don't enable these roles: Active Directory Domain Services, Internet Information Services, Hyper-V
|NIC type
|IP address type
|443 (Control channel orchestration)
9443 (Data transport)
On the configuration server VM, make sure that the system clock is synchronized with a Time Server. Time must be synchronized to within 15 minutes. If the time difference is greater than 15 minutes, setup fails.
Make sure that the configuration server can access these URLs:
*.accesscontrol.windows.net. Used for access control and identity management. (ACS based authentication will be deprecated by December 2017)
https://login.microsoftonline.com Used for access control and identity management using AAD
\*.backup.windowsazure.com. Used for replication data transfer and coordination.
\*.blob.core.windows.net. Used for access to the storage account that stores replicated data.
\*.hypervrecoverymanager.windowsazure.com. Used for replication management operations and coordination.
time.nist.gov and
time.windows.com. Used to check time synchronization between system and global time.
URLs for Azure Government cloud:
- .ugv.hypervrecoverymanager.windowsazure.us
- .ugv.backup.windowsazure.us
- .ugi.hypervrecoverymanager.windowsazure.us
- .ugi.backup.windowsazure.us
- https://login-us.microsoftonline.com
- https://login.microsoftonline.us
- https://login.microsoftonline.com
- Any IP address-based firewall rules should allow communication to Azure.
- Allow the Azure Datacenter IP Ranges, and the HTTPS (443) port.
- Allow IP address ranges for the Azure region of your subscription, and for West US (used for access control and identity management).
Any IP address-based firewall rules should allow communication to Azure Datacenter IP Ranges, and ports 443 (HTTPS) and 9443 (data replication). Be sure to allow IP address ranges for the Azure region of your subscription, and for West US (used for Access Control and Identity Management).
Download the Site Recovery Unified Setup
- Open the Azure portal and click on All resources.
- Click on the Recovery Service vault named ContosoVMVault.
- Click Site Recovery > Prepare Infrastructure > Protection goal.
- Select On-premises for where your machines are located, To Azure for where you want to replicate your machines, and Yes, with VMware vSphere Hypervisor. Then, click OK.
- In the Prepare source pane, click +Configuration server.
- In Add Server, check that Configuration Server appears in Server type.
- Download the Site Recovery Unified Setup installation file.
Download the vault registration key. You need this when you run Unified Setup. The key is valid for five days after you generate it.
Set up the configuration server
- Run the Unified Setup installation file.
In Before You Begin, select Install the configuration server and process server then click Next.
In Third Party Software License, click I Accept to download and install MySQL, then click Next.
In Registration, select the registration key you downloaded from the vault.
In Internet Settings, specify how the Provider running on the configuration server connects to Azure Site Recovery over the Internet.
- If you want to connect with the proxy that's currently set up on the machine, select Connect to Azure Site Recovery using a proxy server.
- If you want the Provider to connect directly, select Connect directly to Azure Site Recovery without a proxy server.
- If the existing proxy requires authentication, or if you want to use a custom proxy for the Provider connection, select Connect with custom proxy settings, and specify the address, port, and credentials.
In Prerequisites Check, Setup runs a check to make sure that installation can run. If a warning appears about the Global time sync check, verify that the time on the system clock (Date and Time settings) is the same as the time zone.
In MySQL Configuration, create credentials for logging on to the MySQL server instance that is installed.
In Environment Details, select Yes to protect VMware VMs. Setup checks that PowerCLI 6.0 is installed.
In Install Location, select where you want to install the binaries and store the cache. The drive you select must have at least 5 GB of disk space available, but we recommend a cache drive with at least 600 GB of free space.
In Network Selection, specify the listener (network adapter and SSL port) on which the configuration server sends and receives replication data. Port 9443 is the default port used for sending and receiving replication traffic, but you can modify this port number to suit your environment's requirements. We also open port 443, which is used to orchestrate replication operations. Do not use port 443 for sending or receiving replication traffic.
In Summary, review the information and click Install. Setup installs the configuration server and registers with it the Azure Site Recovery service.
When installation finishes, a passphrase is generated. You will need this when you enable replication, so copy it and keep it in a secure location. The server is displayed on the Settings > Servers pane in the vault.
Configure automatic discovery
To discover VMs, the configuration server needs to connect to on-premises VMware servers. For the purposes of this tutorial, add the vCenter server, or vSphere hosts, using an account that has administrator privileges on the server.
On your configuration server, launch CSPSConfigtool.exe. It is available as a shortcut on the desktop and located in the install location\home\svsystems\bin folder.
Click Manage Accounts > Add Account.
In Account Details, add the account that will be used for automatic discovery.
To add a server:
- Open the Azure portal and click on All resources.
- Click on the Recovery Service vault named ContosoVMVault.
- Click Site Recovery > Prepare Infrastructure > Source
- Select +vCenter to connect to a vCenter server or vSphere ESXi host.
- In Add vCenter, specify a friendly name for the server. Then, specify the IP address or FQDN.
- Leave the port set to 443, unless your VMware servers listen for requests on a different port.
- Select the account to use for connecting to the server. Click OK.
Site Recovery connects to VMware servers using the specified settings, and discovers VMs.
It can take 15 minutes or more for the account name to appear in the portal. To update immediately, click Configuration Servers > server name > Refresh Server.
Set up the target environment
Select and verify target resources.
- Click Prepare infrastructure > Target, and select the Azure subscription you want to use.
- Specify whether your target deployment model is Resource Manager-based, or classic.
Site Recovery checks that you have one or more compatible Azure storage accounts and networks.
Create a replication policy
- Open the Azure portal and click on All resources.
- Click on the Recovery Service vault named ContosoVMVault.
- To create a replication policy, click Site Recovery infrastructure > Replication Policies > +Replication Policy.
- In Create replication policy, specify a policy name VMwareRepPolicy.
- In RPO threshold, use the default of 60 minutes. This value defines how often recovery points are created. An alert is generated if continuous replication exceeds this limit.
- In Recovery point retention, use the default of 24 hours for how long the retention window is for each recovery point. For this tutorial we select 72 hours. Replicated VMs can be recovered to any point in a window.
In App-consistent snapshot frequency, use the default of 60 minutes for the frequency that application-consistent snapshots are created. Click OK to create the policy.
The policy is automatically associated with the configuration server. By default, a matching policy is automatically created for failback. For example, if the replication policy is rep-policy then the failback policy will be rep-policy-failback. This policy isn't used until you initiate a failback from Azure.
Enable replication
Site Recovery installs the Mobility service when replication is enabled for a VM. It can take 15 minutes or longer for changes to take effect and appear in the portal.
Enable replication as follows:
- Click Replicate application > Source.
- In Source, select the configuration server.
- In Machine type, select Virtual Machines.
- In vCenter/vSphere Hypervisor, select the vCenter server that manages the vSphere host, or select the host.
- Select the process server (configuration server). IThen click OK.
- In Target, select the subscription and the resource group in which you want to create the failed over VMs. Choose the deployment model that you want to use in Azure (classic or resource management), for the failed over VMs.
- Select the Azure storage account you want to use for replicating data.
- Select the Azure network and subnet to which Azure VMs will connect, when they're created after failover.
- Select Configure now for selected machines, to apply the network setting to all machines you select for protection. Select Configure later to select the Azure network per machine.
- In Virtual Machines > Select virtual machines, click and select each machine you want to replicate. You can only select machines for which replication can be enabled. Then click OK.
- In Properties > Configure properties, select the account that will be used by the process server to automatically install the Mobility service on the machine.
- In Replication settings > Configure replication settings, verify that the correct replication policy is selected.
- Click Enable Replication.
You can track progress of the Enable Protection job in Settings > Jobs > Site Recovery Jobs. After the Finalize Protection job runs the machine is ready for failover.
To monitor VMs you add, you can check the last discovered time for VMs in Configuration Servers
Last Contact At. To add VMs without waiting for the scheduled discovery, highlight the configuration server (don't click it), and click Refresh.

Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Southampton have sealed the signing of Czech star Rudi Skacel from Hearts.
Southampton have sealed the signing of Czech star Rudi Skacel from Hearts.
George Burley, who was in charge of Skacel at Hearts, has been chasing the 27-year-old since he took charge at St Mary's.
Now after a long chase Skacel has signed a four-year deal with Southampton after the clubs agreed a fee believed to be £1.6 million.
"Rudi did fantastically well when I was at Hearts," Burley told the club's official website.
"He is a strong midfielder who is very good at set-plays and is always likely to score goals.
"Sometimes in football these things take time, but I'm sure he will be worth the wait. He has all the criteria we are looking for.
"To win promotion, you need players who can score from all over the pitch, and I am confident he can get into double figures from midfield."

English writing is one of the toughest assignments for a homeschool student. Even if they grew up speaking English, students find it hard to write a flawless piece of literature. A strong command of English language in not only speaking but also writing portrays understanding, intelligence and a sense of class.
Whether you child is writing a 500-word essay, short story, book or a blog post, the content is judged based on good grammar. For this reason, there is a growing number of grammar tools that can help writers in preparing their content. Below are some of the most powerful tools used by many authors, students, and professors.
1. Spellchecker.net
First on my list is Spellchecker.net. Spellchecker.net is a free online writing enhancement tool that enables a writer to review his/her work for spelling errors as well as other grammar mistakes. This application has an enormous database that contains over 100,000 entries. The presence of all these entries ensures that all syntax errors, punctuation, language vagueness, and incorrect word choice are recognized and fixed.
2. Ginger
Following in the footsteps of Spellchecker.net is Ginger. Ginger is a versatile tool that is compatible with many operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, iOS, and Android. Ginger is used to proofread any written document, check for spelling mistakes, translate, rephrase sentences, and predict words. This application offers portability functionality; it can be installed on any smartphone or a tablet computer thus enabling a writer to edit his/her work on the go. Besides that, this has a personal trainer application that focuses on helping writers learn from their mistakes. Also, it comes with its comprehensive dictionary that can be used to improve content vocabulary. Just like many writing enhancement tools, Ginger is easy to set up and use.
3. PaperRater
Not all of these tools are affordable, but there also others that offer a writer a chance to use its feature for free and if impressed one can consider paying for other premium services. One of the most excellent tools that employs this method is PaperRater. PaperRater is an online application that analyzes written materials for any grammatical and other types of errors. This application is easy to use as it can be used directly from a web browser. It has a system that allows the writer to choose the type of literature that is being analyzed and to which audience the content is targeted at. This functionality helps the application to rate any material accordingly and accurately, thus providing the best possible results.
4. WhiteSmoke
Attaining perfection is every writer's dream; all these tools strive to help a writer do that, but none has come close apart from one – WhiteSmoke. WhiteSmoke is a top class software and it is used by many experienced writers today. Just like Ginger, WhiteSmoke is compatible with many devices. It offers high-quality services at premium prices. This application embraces outstanding features such as a dictionary, translator, and thesaurus. As compared to other writing enhancement tools, WhiteSmoke identifies and corrects many grammatical and syntax errors.
5. Grammarly
Last on the list is Grammarly; it is one of the best tools used today. Grammarly is the best of all because it is powerful, fast and efficient. It offers different functionalities that suit all types of writing genres. Some of its advantages include:
- It can correct over 250 types of punctuation and other related grammatical errors.
- It can correct misspelled words and also recommend the best vocabulary to fit your content.
- It also provides a plagiarism functionality; this feature enables a writer to scan for any trace of copied content and do the required revision.
- Grammarly applications are cross platforms; there are plugins for the web browser, Microsoft Word, and a desktop version.
- Above all, Grammarly receives constant updates that enable it to improve its functionality and offer quality service.
Grammar tools not only correct spelling errors and other common mistakes but they also check for syntax and other advanced grammar issues such as wordiness and sentence structure. Of course, none of these software applications is as capable as an actual human editor, but using the tools mentioned above can enable a homeschooler to learn and grow in writing by recognizing mistakes and how to fix them.
