It's my favorite Tuesday of February. It's Fat Tuesday. It's Pancake Tuesday. It's Morri-is-really-trying-to-be-on-here-more-so-bear-with-her-Tuesday.
Pancakes were the start of Meals with Morri, which is weird since I'm actually a waffle person. CK and I get into "arguments" about what is a pancake and what isn't, what is a regular sized pancake and what is ridiculous gargantuan Midwestern proportions.
It keeps us interesting, I suppose.
Aside from it being Pancake Day and sharing/eating a recipe, I wanted to find a way to share the fun with my two buns without them eating food that isn't particularly healthy for them (sadly, pancakes the way I like them is exactly that). February is Adopt a Rescued Rabbit month, and our three month since adoption is this coming Monday, so needless to say I'd like them to enjoy it too.
Fat Tuesday Salad for Rabbits
Handful of Greens: Romaine hearts, mixed greens, dandelion leaves (1 handful per rabbit)
Grated carrot (1 tbsp. per rabbit)
Chopped mango (1 tsp.)
Sliced blueberries (1tsp.)
1/4 - 1/3 tsp. rolled oats (as a treat)Put together the ingredients as artfully as possible.Serve to your bunny overlords.Take photos of the cuteness.
Rabbits are interesting roommates, and if you feel you can hold up to a 10+ year commitment with one or two (or more) of these small creatures, go visit your local rescue. At my local HRS chapter, they usually suggest fostering first (although experience with rabbit care is mandatory), where they provide the cage, the food, and pay for additional medical expenses. Fostering means you've provided a safe place for them to grow and socialize and learn, and in return you see whether or not rabbits are right for you in the long term.
The term 'foster failure' is a thing for a reason.
I've always identified as a cat person, but there's something about the growing relationship you develop with your rabbits that really tugs at my heart. I have had to learn to not worry so much. I have had to get down on their level. I have had to self-reflect and be compassionate whenever they are feeling a certain way. I have had to be accountable and selfless and honor who they are now instead of what I want them to be.
It's kind of like having children... vegan children who poop outside their litter pans sometimes.
All rabbits are different, but I assure you that, in the right home, with the right family, with the right mindset, they make fantastic additions to the family. Adopt, don't shop, and eat pancakes... however you defined them.
Socca (recipe from Wikibooks)
150 g chickpea flour
250 ml water
1 tbsp. Olive oil
1/2 tsp. Sea salt
Black pepper, to taste (I did 1/4 tsp.)
Preheat oven to at least 480°F (around 300°C / 570°F is traditional, but whatever your oven can manage that gets close to this).Option 1: If using a cast-iron pan, get it into the oven at the start so that it is hot when the batter goes into it.Option 2: If using a ceramic baking dish (at least 9" in diameter), line it with olive oil and set aside (this is what I did).
Whisk the ingredients together well or put through the blender, ensuring there are no lumps.Option 1: Pour the batter into the HOT cast-iron pan and bake for 15 minutes (results are crispier).Option 2: Pour into the baking dish and place into the oven to back for 15 minutes (results are creamier center).Remove from the oven and cut into triangular wedges.Serve hot.
Makes 2 servings.

For sight-reading music, practice doesn't make perfect
A basic type of recall may limit the benefits of experience
Here's a harsh piano lesson: Years of tickling the ivories go only so far for those who want to sight-read sheet music fluently, a new study suggests. Aside from those painstaking hours of practice, a memory skill that pianists have little control over may orchestrate their performance.
Sight-reading is the ability to play sheet music on an instrument with little or no preparation. Any piano player who practices sight-reading for thousands of hours will get pretty good at it, say study coauthors Elizabeth Meinz of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and David Hambrick of Michigan State University in East Lansing. But having a strong ability to keep different pieces of relevant information in mind while performing a task — known as working memory capacity — aids sight-reading regardless of how much someone has practiced, the psychologists report in a paper published online June 9 in Psychological Science.

Eyelid Disorders
This is the medical term for baggy eye lids. It occurs most frequently in patients older than 50. Soft tissues around the eyes are very loose and movable, this area is the most likely of all in the body for early wrinkles and droops. Sometimes the skin of the eyelid actually lies on top of the lashes, so some patients are able to keep their eyes open only by keeping the brow elevated with the muscles of the forehead and scalp. This may cause headaches and excessive fatigue, especially with reading. The upper portion of vision may also be cut off by this excessive tissue. The only effective treatment is surgery.
Blepharitis is a chronic inflammation of the eye lids and is one of the most common problems we see in the office. Basically, there are 2 causes:
- Staphylococcus (Staph). This is a bacterial infection of the lids that produces scales, matter, and chronic redness of the lid margin.
Treatment is directed at keeping the lids immaculately clean by scrubbing with Q-tips and a mild baby shampoo. Also effective are OCuSoft Lid Scrub eye lid cleansers.
- Seborrhea produces greasy, waxy scales along the lid margins. The glands of the lid produce abnormal quantities and qualities of tear film….Seborrhea of the lids may be just part of the overall skin disease that affects the areas of the chest, back, scalp, and behind the ears.
- Skin mites known as Demodex can also colonize the eyelash follicle causing chronic irritation and discharge. This finding can be diagnosed during the ocular exam and treated with special lotions.
These conditions can almost always be controlled with vigorous treatments and good patient cooperation.
Sty is the common term for an acute infection of the hair follicle or glands at the edge of the eye lid. The correct medical term is Hordeolum.
Styes are usually caused by the Staph bacteria and are very common among children, patients with chronic lid infections, and diabetics.
Treatment consists of frequent hot compresses, and ophthalmic antibiotic ointments. If the tissues surrounding the sty are swollen and seem infected as well, oral antibiotics may be helpful in clearing up the condition more rapidly.

Saw these skirts the other day on Garnet Hill and knew I could make one for my little girl. Skirts are so fun to make, they are forgiving--so the stress of perfection isn't looming over my head as I sew.
I'm not sure she will ever where this skirt again--it's not pink or purple.
Full enough to sit
and twirl
The description of the skirt says the bow can be tied in front or back. The front of the skirt is flat, the back has a hidden elastic with a shirring detail on the waistband.
It's a fun skirt to sew and is so full it makes a perfect twirling skirt.

Mock Newbery, Reading Workshop, MLK Fest +
Throughout the winter, we have school tours for prospective Oxford families. We have great tour guides who lead the families around the school, sharing information and answering questions. At the end of each tour, I meet with the prospective parents/guardians to have an informal Q&A. It's always interesting because I'm asked things like "How is Oxford different than other BUSD schools?" Or "What are some of the great things happening here?" And also, "What are some of the challenges?" Every year it makes me reflect on what we are doing at Oxford, where we want to go, and what else we need to do to continue to meet the needs of our students.

New Year, MLK, Sunshine, and Pretty Art
Welcome back and Happy New Year! I hope you all had a happy, healthy, safe holiday break. It was so good to have some time for rest and relaxation. I'm looking forward to the second half of the school year and 2017.
The upcoming presidential Inauguration may be a challenging event for many. I encourage us all to be sensitive and respectful of everyone's beliefs as the new president begins his term. I want to remind all of us how strong the Oxford community is and how we need to embrace and welcome our differences; it's part of what makes Oxford a strong community for our students!
Here's to a great 2017!

Book Fair's Goal Unmet: Donate by 10/29
Our Teachers' Book Fair Requests Were Not Fulfilled This Year!
This year only 5 books were donated to the library at the book fair, and some of our wonderful teachers only received 3 books! There are an additional 130 books needed to fulfill the donation goal of one book per child per class.
For some of our families, buying books is not financially possible, and so it is up to those who can to do a bit more.
Donate now to buy more books for Oxford at our Pay It 2 page. The deadline is October 29 at midnight. And remember, Oxford gets 15% of the sales back as a donation too, so your money is working extra hard.
The books that we are donating will go home with our kids to be read. This is the most direct way to encourage reading in our school. The quality of the reading material has a direct effect on the interest level of our kids. If they have no new books in their classes and libraries, or none that speak to their interests, then they will not be as enthusiastic about reading.
Every child goes to the school library every week and is searching for their "just right" reading level and content. Your gift will bring needed books to our classrooms and library!
The Oxford summer checklist
Dear Oxford Families,
I can't believe how quickly this year has flown by. It's been a good year, with a lot of great things happening at Oxford. I've shared lists of some events or activities at the "Coffee with the Principal" mornings. Here are some highlights: Literacy Night, Martin Luther King Jr. Oratorical Fest, another fabulous Emmy Orth celebration, Parent Ed Nights put on by the PTA, Middle School Information Night, organized games at recesses, beginning implementation of the Toolbox program, teacher peer-observations, Girls On the Run program, an up-to-date cool school website, a 3rd chromebook cart, Lawrence Hall of Science Festivals, and a traffic supervisor on Oxford Street. There are many more wonderful things happening at Oxford and we hope to continue and to grow in 2015-2016.

New Column: Literacy Corner
As Literacy Coach at Oxford, it is my pleasure to begin sharing information with families via The Oxford News to help your child's experience reading at home. This week, I want to discuss reading level. We determine reading level by 3 traits: accuracy (ability to read a word or sound out), fluency (the speed and flow of their voice when they read out loud) and comprehension (the ability to understand what they read). If all of these characteristics work together when reading a passage, that is the child's independent level. Level is important because it helps us to provide instruction and independent reading in a book that is "just right" for the child.
If your child has already reached the end of the next grade level in his/her reading, that doesn't necessarily mean they should just keep going up in level. We also want students to "read wide." Reading wide means reading a variety of books from different genres, as well as reading a mix of fiction and nonfiction. In school and at home, they will have the opportunity to read many books at their just-right level, but it's also important to expose them to higher-level books, perhaps by reading aloud to them from a more challenging book at bedtime. We must remember that the most important thing is your child's love of reading and engagement with books.

Call 510-981-6250 for more information or to make a reservation to read to a furry friend! Wheelchair accessible.

"Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend." —Groucho Marx

Updates from the Principal
From The Oxford News
We had a great first week of school! Thanks to everyone who made that possible, staff and families. There are many important announcements in this newsletter, so I'll keep it brief. One request, please write your child's name in his/her clothes and belongings. With your help, hopefully we can keep the Lost & Found from overflowing this year. Thank you!

Mountain climbing can be a treacherous activity so the experienced outdoorsman will appreciate The North Face Avalanche Airbag pack to stay safe on the slopes.
Surviving an avalanche is rare as you're hit with hundreds of pounds of snow in a matter of seconds, which is why Xavier Le Rue requested that his pack be outfitted with the ABS (avalanche airbag safety) system. La Rue became trapped several years ago in a tragic avalanche, which prompted the development of The North Face Avalanche Airbag pack.
The system senses when the wearer is hit by an avalanche and deploys the airbags in a similar fashion to the ones installed in automobiles. The pack sells for over $1,000, but the life-saving feature it totes makes the price seem small.

.... a great coastal challenge
.... a great coastal challenge
Wicklow Golf Club was founded in 1904 and is an 18-hole cliff top course with outstanding and unique sea views hewn from the wild coastline of Wicklow. As you play, enjoy the spectacular views of the Wicklow Mountains and the magnificent coastline from the old Wicklow Head Lighthouse to the South and all of Wicklow Bay to the North. Our course would be best described as clifftop set, with parkland soil and a real links feel. Each hole has a great challenge for golfers of every level.
Wicklow Golf Club is among the oldest Golf Clubs on the East Coast. The course was originally laid out on a farm once owned by the O'Connor family whose son, Peter, held the Irish long jump record until 1990.
From humble beginnings it developed as a challenging nine-hole course renowned for its tight holes requiring accuracy with almost every shot and tricky greens. Although not long it challenged every class of golfer. The old course was a demanding par 70 with 2 par 5's and four par 3's, expanding the course later on.
In 1991 the land to the south of Dunbur Glen was acquired. In 1994 the present course was officially opened with eleven new greens and alterations to several other holes. Craddock & Ruddy the course architects for the new layout retained the difficulty factor in their design, in so far as the dependency on accuracy of shot is still required. The course is now a par 71 with 3 par 5's and 4 par 3's and is set on 90 acres with most of the original front 9 situated on the Town side of the Glen, and the newer back 9 set on a spectacular stretch of land leading out to Wicklow head.
The new clubhouse was opened in 2002 and is a fitting testament to it's surroundings,
making the most of the picturesque scenery from every angle.
With a comfortable lounge bar that overlooks the stunning Wicklow coastline, and first class restaurant facilities, the new clubhouse makes an ideal function space, meeting place, intimate venue, or just a friendly local where members can enjoy a pint and a chat. The new clubhouse provides an ideal relaxation area after the endeavours on the golf course and is always a hive of activity.
Measuring just over 6000 yards off our back tees, you don't have to be a long hitter to post a great score here. While there are definite rewards for the long hitters off the tee, with two driveable par 4's early in the round, the best scores come from those who plot their way, a true thinking man's course. 40 points always seems do-able here on a fair day, however there are doubles, triples and worse lurking on every hole. Local knowledge around Wicklow plays a big part in all the top scores, and the course teaches you something every time, hopefully bringing you back again and again to this beautiful coastal challenge.
In July 1905, a press report read: "The scenery is magnificent combining views of sea and mountain while the course is very sporting and requires accurate driving." The Club has maintained this character and appeal over the decades and continues to offer a warm welcome to new members, guests and visitors.

Using essential oils to help with autism is a story from a fellow autism mom, as she told it to me. She tells about how she used essential oils for helping with autism issues in her family. Our experience in autismland has been similar. Let me preface her story by saying that this is what works for her child. As with everything in autism, what works for one child with autism may not work for another child with autism.
Using essential oils to help with autism has been life changing for our family. Before using essential oils, we had tried a lot of different things. Pre oils, our little princess (age 5) would smear poop all over the place. She only slept for a few hours a night. It was impossible to take her out to eat or shop. We had no way to communicate with her. She had no eye contact. She was essentially living in her own little world. Since we began using essential oils, our life has done a complete turnaround. We still have struggles, but our situation is so much better now. We no longer feel helpless or hopeless. This is our testimonial about how essential oils (or EOs) have helped our little girl.
I was first introduced to EOs a few years ago and I thought, "These people are hippies and are a bit crazy!" As it turned out, I was the one who was crazy not to start using EOs with my severely autistic child. Sometimes what we consider off the wall is exactly what is needed to help our children with minimal side effects. A natural approach is always a great place to start as is having an open mind to unconventional therapies. Autism has a habit of introducing you to things you never knew existed.
Using Essential Oils To Help With Autism
The first oil we tried was peppermint. My daughter had a high fever. Since she won't take medications, I used peppermint as a fever reducer. To my surprise, it worked! In a pinch, I put a drop right on her forehead. What is ideal is to have a roller bottle with a mixture of the peppermint oil and a carrier oil like fractionated coconut oil. You can then rub this mixture on the forehead or the back of the neck.
The second oil I tried was lavender. It works great for relaxing and winding down before bedtime. As I mentioned earlier, my daughter was only sleeping a few hours each night. Something had to change! Using lavender helped her sleep longer at night; it also helped her sleep more soundly. Lavender, alone, doesn't do it for her. Diffusing at night helps as well as putting some in a spray bottle with water to mist the pillow cases and sheets. Another great option is to use the Counting Sheep roller bottle at the temples and the back of the ears. The bottom of the feet is always a good place to apply oils on children as well.
Another great use for lavender has been for first aid. Our sweet girl will not let us put a band-aid on her. We found that a drop or two of lavender EO helps the bleeding stop when she hurts herself. We also use it for minor burns, sunburns, and bug bites. Also, Ouchie blend is perfect for traveling. It is easy to apply and is easy to transport for on-the-go.
The third oil we added was Vetiver. Vetiver EO is psychologically grounding, calming, and stabilizing. It was studied by Dr. Terry Friedmann for improving children's behavior with ADD and ADHD. It may help people cope with stress and recover better from emotional trauma and shock. We found that this oil helps our daughter so much with meltdowns! Before we added vetiver EO, she would scream for hours, and nothing we did would help her calm down. With this, the screaming has decreased and her overall demeanor has become happier.
There are a number of blends you can use.
Some of our favorites are:
- calming and vetiver
- Bergamont
- balance and tranquility
- wild orange and roman chamomile
How to Apply Essential Oils
- Topically, by mixing a few drops with fractionated coconut oil then applying to the base of the neck with a roller ball.
- Adding a few drops to a diffuser (make sure the diffuser is in the same room as the child)
- Adding one or two drops directly on the child. (Be careful with this as some oils are considered hot and can burn, so look at the label beforehand.)

Will I move into a Tiny House? It is actually a Campervan – but I will probably call it my Tiny House. It's current name is Murtle – Murtle the Turtle, but I am not keen on that. Still, I have promised to keep the name Murtle. I might just call it M.
Perhaps I should call it Murtlebus – for it is really a converted bus. The photo is not of Murtlebus, but of a similar type of vehicle.
Moving into a Tiny House/Murtlebus
It may be that during this coming week I will become the proud owner of Murtlebus. Then move from the "comfort" of my 3 bedroom expensive duplex into the campervan/bus.
How long will I last? Not sure. Those who know me know that I am somewhat of an adventurer, having travelled solo to China, South Korea, UK, and Ireland. I have driven around Australia. I am hoping I have another 12 – 18 months of travel in Myrtle. We will see.
Hopefully, it will be considerably cheaper than the duplex – and I know I can use time which now taken up with mowing lawns and house work, on writing.
The plan is to move out of the duplex by the end of April, store all my surplus stuff and see what happens. I will try a few short weekend jaunts, perhaps with friends from Rolling Solo while I work on the Co-housing project too.
Perhaps will visit Brisbane and the Gold Coast more often to see grandchildren and friends. I will have a few short trips from Beachmere to test myself in the bus and learn how to manage it.
It August I am due to go to Alice Springs for a camp with 500+ members of Rolling Solo – many in motorhomes, campervans or tents. I have determined my route to Alice Springs, but still thinking about the return journey. Most likely I will go to Adelaide from Alice Springs and return home via Burra and Broken Hill again. Still working it out.
Will it look different?
I wonder if the yellow fields will be as lush as they were in September 2016?

I often wonder why locals are not more interested in supporting local authors and illustrators, even those i have put in my books because I support their belief in supporting local food and history. It is not because they are too poor, because they have enough spending money for other more expensive entertainment like events, shows, internet, drugs, etc… so i was going to send out a survey to understand the lack of market better, but after thinking about it i think the surveys would not do much good.
i think there is just no existing market example; at least none established like a Common Market for local books. So people do not think my books are worth investing in, even when they are well made and even have the reader in the book! Of course thank you to those who have invested and purchased my books!!
Funny thing is i have given away many books for free, and have even published entire books for other authors for free. And people have actually seen the books in person, like at a festival even… still very few sales. Ok there is one local book store just opened last year; ill ask there sometime when i get the courage, but i have asked at libraries and other stores with no success. There are other local books stores for used books or historic books, but you would be surprised how stuck-up most venues are… they already usually have too many books that don't sell enough they say.
Going door to door worked for my historic book for the town, but organic person to person has not worked for BOG PEEPS strangely… perhaps it is the income difference so they view themselves as lessers or equals; rather than benevolent sponsors…. even though both actually have the money to afford a copy if they believed in the product and it would not hinder their bill paying.
Hopefully a time will come when people view ARTS as a local 'produce' worth supporting in weekly common markets. We can make it happen by supporting local artists and authors with actual purchases and financing. Supporting individual artists and writers is not fantasy, it is real and we need to live it.

I found the original version of this recipe on the Betty Crocker website. I made it healthified by using Heart Smart Bisquick and reduced fat cheese. The little things do make a difference with fat and calories.
I should have read over this recipe a little more before I made it though. Why? I'm not a fan of eggs, never have liked them. I assumed that the Bisquick/egg mixture would make a crust-like topping, but that's not the case. The mixture instead fills the pan bringing all the ingredients together. It didn't taste bad though, just not my sort of thing. If you like eggs or casseroles made with eggs, you'll love it! And it's super filling. 🙂
- 9 oz frozen broccoli florets, thawed and drained
- 1-1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 c cut-up cooked chicken or 2 cans (5oz ea) chunk chicken, drained
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1/2 c Bisquick Heart Smart mix
- 1 c milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 2 eggs
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 9″ glass pie plate with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine broccoli, 1 cup of the cheese, chicken, and onion. Spread in pie plate.
- In medium bowl, whisk remaining ingredients until blended. Pour over broccoli mixture.
- Bake 35-38 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese and bake 1 to 2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
Quick Notes
The original recipe calls for a medium onion, but I feel it is entirely too much so I recommend using a small onion.
Use reduced fat cheese to lower the fat and calories. You can use original Bisquick mix but it will add fat and calories.

A video recently surfaced of Claude Giroux, the Philadelphia Flyers' 24 year old assistant captain, and his off-season workout routine, monitored by Tony Greco.
Giroux finished last regular season 2nd in NHL assists (65) and 3rd in NHL points (93), despite missing 5 games.
Here's what he's been doing this summer:
Upon inspection of the workout, and without knowing the particular parameters (sets, reps, time, phase, etc) Mr. Greco has prescribed for Giroux's workouts, here's what I see the routine breaking down to, in order of exercise appearance:
- Three 1-foot hops, into to one lateral side bound, adding a palms-in 2-arm dumbbell shoulder press. Repeat in the opposite direction.
- Low side-to-side skater's bounds, with 2 hanging dumbbells.
- 2-foot side hops, with a 2-arm hammer curl every hop.
- Single dumbbell squats (dumbbell held vertically, below chin).
- 2-foot hop up onto a riser, to 1-arm explosive front shoulder raises (raise on hop).
- Stationary barbell low/explosive hip/stride extensions.
- Squat to 2-arm dumbbell hammer curl, to palms-in shoulder press.
- 1-foot 3 Bosu hops: Bosus placed on floor in a line, approximately two feet apart. With right foot starting to the left of the bosu, hop on to the ball, and then off to the right of it, then back to starting point, and then hop up to the next ball. Switch feet, and repeat the pattern.
- While holding pushup position on two dumbbells, Slider socks 3 quick knee drives (will need special socks or a slider board for this one), then one pushup.
- While on a step-box holding a medicine ball, quick strides back and then alternating feet, while continuing to hold the medicine ball in front and above.
- 2-foot, weight plate distance squat leaps.
- Sled pull.
You'll also notice that Claude is wearing two different color shirts through this video, indicating to me that this is a combination of multiple workouts — either on completely different days, or perhaps he's on two-a-days. If you sort them together, the exercise groupings land as follows:
- Routine 1: 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 12
- Routine 2: 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11
These routines seem to be primarily comprised of a heavy focus on combination exercises involving linked movements between the legs (glutes, hamstrings, quads, calves), shoulders (deltoids) arms (biceps in particular) and core, in hopes of mimicking the motions of hockey, which are far from isolated. I support this approach, though I do recommend taking the time to isolate single muscle training, so that said muscles are strong enough to perform the afore mentioned combination movements when required.
The equipment used seems to be minimal: dumbbells, medicine ball, barbell, and a step-up.
Serious hockey players are working out 4-6 times per week, so this is also obviously only a glimpse into Claude's full routine. And as my friend Justin Bourne at The Score pointed out, it's August, and guys are going hard now to be difference makers come opening day.
And of course, Giroux WORKS OUT WITH A TRAINER. This guy is at the top of his game, and one of the best players in the NHL. He's not naive enough to think that he can do this stuff on his own. Sure, training with a trainer can be pricy, especially to a young hockey player not making "show dough" yet, but it's clearly worth the investment, and such a better way to make your workouts efficient and pointed, and to eliminate the guesswork you'd be doing on your own. Think about it.
So there you have a 90 point scorer's NHL level summer hockey training routine. What do you think? Can you keep up? If it's good enough for an All-Star NHLer/NHL '13 cover athlete, it's probably good enough for you too.

Osama Dorias from Heroes Never Lose shared some very awesome information with me about their upcoming game and made us an exclusive header for us to use! Thank you for the header Osama, we really appreciate it!
Forget Farm Heroes Saga, Candy Crush and Bejeweld. We've got something for you that will blow you away and makes you forget about those other games. And it's called: Heroes Never Lose: Professor Puzzler's Perplexing Ploy, or in short Heroes Never Lose, or as the developers call it HNL:PPPP!!
The game is now on Kickstarter and a PS4/Vita strechgoal will be added soon. The guys at Heroes Never Lose are very eager to bring the games to these platforms, and need your support for it!
About the game:
Heroes Never Lose: Professor Puzzler's Perplexing Ploy is a hero themed action-puzzle game with a super-powered twist! Players go head to head lining up blocks into combos or chains and initiate their character's super attacks to bury their opponent in blocks.The gameplay is reminiscent of other action-puzzlers such as Puyo Puyo, Dr. Mario, and Puzzle Fighter. However, the choice of characters affects the strategies and gameplay significantly as characters charge up their super bars to unleash unique and devastating attacks on their opponents, such as:
A Blizzard that freezes the blocks on the opponent's screen, causing them to lock to the grid and become a real nuisance!
… or an inferno that sets some blocks on fire, watch out or the fire will spread out of control!
The game also features an Online Multiplayer mode, a unique fusion of a PixelArt style with modern hi-rez effects, a kicking soundtrack, and much more!
Heroes Never Lose: Professor Puzzler's Perplexing Ploy is off to a great start and the team is looking forward to sharing it with the world! The action-puzzler introduces the concept of character specific attacks (specials and supers) that can be activated to affect the opponent's grid. As opposed to most competitive action-puzzlers where players can almost entirely focus on their own grid, the special and super attacks in HNLPPPP work best when timed to counter opponent strategies! Players who can keep an eye on their opponents will excel!
Here's the kickstarter trailer to give you a idea of how the game works, and it's funny too!
We're really very excited to see the game released. For more info about the game visit their kickstarter page and follow them on twitter and Tell'em Punk and Lizard sent you!

Five S Journey
One of our great hopes for this church is that our community of people will experience the presence of God in their daily lives. We believe there are several practices, what we call the Five S's, that lead us in knowledge and intimacy with the God who desperately wants to know us. Commit to the Five S Journey and put these five habits into practice on a regular basis to grow closer to God.
To get started, take the fiveonfive challenge—an interactive follow up through the Five S's of: Solitude, Scripture, Service, Support, and Significant Events. For 5 days a week over 5 weeks, the challenge will take you through the Five S Journey, whether individually, in a small group, with friends or family.
Find a time and place to practice solitude. Remember, you were created by God primarily to be in community with Him. If you can't find the words, just P-R-A-Y:
P–Praise: Thank God for who He is. Call out His goodness and good works.
R–Repent: Be honest about your sin and the ways you've fallen short.
A–Ask: Tell God about what is missing in your life or about friends who are hurting.
Y–Yield: Surrender yourself. Talk to God about the direction your life is going.
Read Scripture daily and apply its truths to your life. Download the Bible or get it on CD. Web sites like YouVersion also help to understand what you're reading.
Practice humbly serving others. Volunteer at SouthBrook or find a way to serve people in the community or beyond.
Find "your people." That is, find people with whom you can build supportive relationships over time.
God will use Solitude, Scripture, Service, and Support to help you interpret the Significant Events of your life and grow to live more like Jesus Christ.

I think this page needs a little freshening up, if you don't mind.
While at Grandpop and Ms. Kevin's house for Easter dinner, we played a lively game of "Hide The Plastic Easter Eggs". Here is one of the best hiding places in the backyard:
See the yellow egg perched on the front porch? Â (I promise you that there actually IS a yellow egg on that front porch.) You'll be glad to know that it was found and that nothing hatched from it.
Happy Spring!

text: Liquor Store is a new independent men's fashion shop in the Great Western Arcade. They opened a couple of weeks ago, and their first lot of stock is a great mix of classic brands and newer stuff. There are some awesome pieces in there and the shop has a great, friendly vibe. Particularly interesting is LA-based Shades of Grey, in which I could dress myself from head to toe. This kind of independent shop is exactly what Birmingham needs, especially in the often-neglected area of men's fashion. Buying something from here is supporting the creation of a kind of Birmingham we want to live in - which is especially nice when all the stock is so desirable!

Friday 12th January, 2007. Corfu, Greece and sunny Romford, England.
Cheeky, the company featuring veteran developers Mark Ripley and Stoo Cambridge today announced the release of their latest game in the Blobbit series – "Blobbit Push".
The game also marks the developer's shift of focus away from the struggling mobile market, with the announcement that this is their first game to be released on Microsoft's XNA platform. Indeed, it has just been confirmed, this is the first commercial XNA game release ever. However, mobile phone versions of the game will follow shortly.
Blobbit Push is an arcade puzzle game, combining the strategies of Sokoban with clever roaming enemies, all wrapped up in Cheeky's trademark Blobbit cuteness. Blobbit finds himself crash-landed on a moon, scattering Blobbit Babies everywhere. The marauding Vernimb have captured them and imprisoned them in crates! Some are even guarded by Vernimb, ferocious Homing Vernimb and a multitude of robot guards! Blobbit must travel through 50 levels, releasing the Blobbit Babies before finally returning to his battered spaceship and returning home before somebody notices….
The game is available for download and online play at http://www.blobbit.com. Demos are available in XNA, Java and Mac Widget formats.

School Daze
It has been horrifyingly cold lately, meaning a severe lack of opportunities to be even slightly stylish. En route to a holiday party with friends last month it dawned on me; Wisconsin isn't known for its fashionistas not because there's no one in the whole state with a keen sense of personal style, but largely because 6-8 months of the year completely prohibit any opportunity to wear an appealing ensemble. Trust me, any height of heel in three inches of snow just doesn't work.
Good thing I've been keeping busy indoors while ruthlessly pursuing my transfer applications. Breaking news, I will not be attending Central Saint Martins in the fall. Instead, I have my sights set on a slightly warmer locale, but I'll stay mum until my plans are set (!). Either way, these apps have been draining any semblance of sanity I have retained over the last year so I haven't had a ton of time to blog. Does this mean I've already broken one of my resolutions? Gosh, I hope not.
To keep my spirits up in the midst of this wintry slog, I'm proud to say that I'm working on streamlining my wardrobe. I never thought I would be the kind of gal to desire limits in this area of my life but things are getting out of hand. After an influx of
crap clothes from my old dorm in London, I've not only run out of hangers but also drawer space. And let me emphasize, I have plenty of hangers and drawers. More than average.
So I'm taking Anuschka of Into Mind's advice and planning my Spring 2013 capsule wardrobe. The planning portion has been surprisingly enjoyable. Lot's of self-reflection, dog ear-ing magazine pages, collaging, and–gasp–pinning. That's right. I've learned to use Pinterest for something other than entering unattainable contests. It's still in the works, but feel free to check out my board of looks/textures/patterns that are inspiring my SS13 looks.
If you couldn't decipher the huge range of themes in the board, I hope to aim for two different styles of looks. I love Sarah Rutson's ladylike-chic style (vibrant tailored trousers, nautical stripes, a-line skirts, sheath dresses, no-nonsense colour combos) but i also have a huge weakness for a bohemian, gypsy woman, carefree, Dylana Suarez kind of style, too (flowy maxi skirts, an excess of paisley, windswept hair, and layers layers layers). Also, add a dash of schoolgirlisms including jumpers, letterman sweaters, and charm bracelets. I know it's kind of passe at this point but I just can't get over it.
To be honest, I'm no minimalist. I love trinkets, packed book shelves, and cozy clutter. So I do plan on keeping some stand-out pieces from my current wardrobe for sentimental reasons, even if they don't fit into either of the broad categories I'm aiming for with my capsule planning.
Also, P took me on a much-needed tour of some of the best vintage shops in the cities recently (more on this to come!). The topmost photos are a preview of our outing! Some of those shops were last seen here.
Anyways, now you've been updated! Hopefully I can get out of this school daze long enough to blog again soon!

WIW: Snø
Check out my outfit post on The Fashion Serf, it's all about winter layering!
Maria Nichole
Fun fact of the day: snø is the Norwegian way to say snow. This is what I wore on the morning of my town's first sprinkling of snow:
- parka – stolen from sister
- chambray shirt (underneath) – thrifted
- wool sweater – vintage
- mini bodycon skirt – Urban Outfitters
- over the knee stockings – Asos UK
- tights – Primark UK
- knee high boots – Patagonia (last years' Christmas present from P)
- telephone pin – vintage
- bauble earrings – thrifted
I. Love. Winter. So many chunky sweaters and layering possibilities! Options are endless, especially when coziness is the goal. This season is the time to toss the idea of always being flattered by your clothing choices and call in your fisherman's sweaters and flannel-lined trousers. Although, if you're gong seriously oversized, I suggest a balancing scheme: bulky up top, fitted on the bottom, and so on.
As I'm typing this, my cozy little house is getting doused with a fresh blanket of snow and my kettle is whistling away. Time to break out the snow boots!
Happy layering,
->The Fashion Serf

- 1 PhDs
- 5,000 Students
- Private Institution Type
Sehir rose with an academic pursuit which has directed the Foundation for Sciences and Arts since 1986. Sehir took the road as a real foundation university and gained institutional identity in May 2008. Under the leadership of "Research-Development Group" which gathered a strong, young and dynamic academic community, discussions were brought up relating to the unique values that the University is to put forth in view of production and dissemination of information.
By force of our founding mission and vision of Istanbul Sehir University the Core Curriculum of Istanbul Sehir University undergraduate programs is an independent curriculum, designed according to the unique needs and conditions of today, directed towards helping students gain fundamental skills, which will enable them to understand the world within its own integrity and mobility, to look at the events from a broad perspective in a time-space context, to think right, systematically and consistently, and to express their thoughts in a meaningful frame, in their life after graduation, no matter what their discipline is.Through this approach, the Core Curriculum Program aims at helping students to gain critical and creative intellectual habits they will use all their lives, beyond improving their knowledge in various fields.
As an endowment organization, Istanbul Sehir University envisions itself to become one of the prominent top-tier research and higher education institution to offer a unique combination of training in the areas of humanities, social and natural sciences, as well as engineering disciplines for the next generation of professionals and to-be-academics.
Sehir has established an array of cross-disciplinary departments and graduate schools with an integrated agenda of (re)search for true knowledge, innovation for sustainability and service for society.
As part of its founding philosophy, Istanbul Sehir University aims to direct its research efforts and investments with the fundamental objectives of generating intellectual property to solve current and prospective problems, and contributing to the progress of the society in general.
At the Dragos Campus, a female dormitory with a capacity of 540, and a male dormitory with a capacity of 720 are planned to meet the accommodation needs of our students. Dormitory buildings are located at a walking distance to the faculty buildings. All the rooms in our dormitories are for 3 people. In our dormitories, student rooms and common areas will be cleaned regularly and free internet access will be provided. There is a central kitchen for individual and common use for our students to prepare simple and practical dishes. There are common areas such as TV room, study rooms, laundry room, and prayer room. Students staying in the dormitories can use the study rooms to be located on the intermediate floors or they can use the central study hall to be located on the entrance floor.

Julia Ducournau's coming-of-age film Raw has reportedly made audiences at certain film festivals faint with horror. In reality, the film is hardly that gruesome, and its unfortunate reputation should not distract from excellent craftsmanship and its complicated expression of the feminine rite of passage.
This is an impressive feature debut from Ducournau, who utilises lead actress Garance Marillier's performative flexibility. Who else could make the leap from vegetarian virgin to cannibalistic seductress in such a brief space of time, and still retain the character's integrity? Interestingly, this film shies away from the classic female monster trope, instead rendering our protagonist as an entirely sympathetic one, caught between the virtuous ideal and the monstrous instinct. Rather than inspiring terror herself, our protagonist's tragic journey leaves us most concerned for her shame.
It is no coincidence that this film is set at a veterinary college. There is a sly suggestion that there is no difference between the animal and the human – even that a raped monkey suffers the same trauma as a raped woman. The film goes further, suggesting that it is explicitly the women who share this connection. The animal isn't insidious, it just follows its natural drive – and likewise our leading women take different approaches to combating their urges with their moral compasses. Raw challenges the notion that a woman with desire is a monster, encouraging us to see the human smile behind the bloody lips. This is a masterfully feminist film, and should not missed.

The Mentor - Colourfix Suede vs Pastelmat
5 comments:
- Doreen Cross said...
Darn it. Just when you find it is working better they discontinue it. I really hope that this is not the case but anyway you still have the supply of pastel mat coming from the UK. I love this piece. it's lovely as is all your work.
Thank you for your kind comments on my graphite... I know I should also keep trying different surfaces. I guess I feel I am onto a good product with the Arches 300 gsm. I just love it. Having said that I must pop into Eckersleys and see if I can get some more of the paper I am using at the moment... I don't think it is 300gsm... They gave me a special discount on this sheet to try out. Now darn it I can't remember what it was other than it's Arches. I really like it. It is a little smoother than what I have been using.
Keep the great work coming. xx

You make me smile Dors - I think I should write in pencil on every surface I buy so I never forget what I'm working with. I do sometimes work on a surface and then haven't got a clue in the end what I'm working on because it's not marked LOL :)

Hi Karen, great to see what you're doing with Suede. I just wanted to reassure you that the Suede is still being produced it's just that it hasn't been added to the website. A new site is under construction. James

Where Your Donations Were Used
We at Gospel Light Worldwide thank you for your generous contribution through Gospel Light's Vacation Bible School (VBS) programs, and through your curriculum donations. Your gift has been directed to one of four projects, with the focus on children in ministry-poor areas, saving them from the loneliness and despair of their hopeless world.
That is why helping children enter and grow in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is our primary priority at Gospel Light Worldwide, and with partners like you, we are encouraged daily and filled with joy.
Thank you again for your generous heart, and we pray the Lord be with your spirit, and grace be with you. We look forward to hearing from you.
South Africa Project: Train the Trainer Program
iVangeli curriculum has launched a program to train the Children's Ministry teachers for the churches.
Due to the cost implications, churches in the rural areas have no way of getting training. Because of this, iVangeli has for years been going to these areas to address this need.
Now through Gospel Light Worldwide, we are able to bring teachers together for a full day's training. As the school year starts in South Africa in January, we are preempting the rush for training by rolling out a "Train the Trainer" session in November for 50 teachers so that they will be able to go back and start their work training local teachers at the beginning of the year in their churches and in churches in their localities.
We are going to do everything possible to stem the church dropout rate, "so help us, God!"
These are some of the teachers from churches in Alexander Township, Cosmo City and Diepsloot who came to the iVangeli Curriculum training on Saturday, October 3, 2015. Three leaders from this group will be invited to attend the Train the Trainer Church Consultant Workshop.
Mainland China Project: Youth Curriculum for China
Very few churches in Mainland China have any type of ministry directed to teens. China's teenagers are dropping out of churches at an alarming rate.
For the experienced writing and training team to create a 20-lesson YOUTH curriculum for this pivotal age group, testing it around the country, and then making it available via a website.
A message from Lin Laoshi (Teacher Lin) to Vacation Bible School 2015 donors:
Dear Vacation Bible School Teachers and Kids –
From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to say thank you so much for sending us an offering to help with Gospel Light Worldwide's children & youth program here in China. May the Lord Jesus bless you back for blessing others!
Did you know that one out of every five people in the world is Chinese? Do you know how many kids under the age of 18 live in China? There are 400 million! That is more than all the people in America put together! One sad thing is that there really aren't a lot of ways for all these Chinese young people to hear about Jesus. There aren't that many churches around…and a lot of the churches that are around have never learned how to run a Vacation Bible School, teach a Sunday School class, or run a Youth Group.
That is where our team gets to help out. We write books to teach teachers how to work with young people. Then, we also get to go to the churches and run camps with them. We've seen Chinese teachers get excited about leading kids to Jesus and kids get excited about following Jesus. And what is more worth our time and money than kids meeting Jesus for the first time!
Thanks so much again for being a part of the Gospel Light Worldwide team! The moneys you sent us this year will be going to help write/produce youth curriculum for China's churches. Please pray with us that we will do our very best job in making great books.
In Christ's Love,
Lin Laoshi

Behold! This stack of books was created after I checked my shelves and found I had these, but for some reason, had not read them. 80% are from that fabulous $1 bookstore I speak of so much and the other 20% were gifts (Can you tell Bill did the math here? Incorrect percentages bug him). I think I need to start…but I don't know where to begin! There are 18 pictured, but after I took this picture, I discovered one more (Bringing Down The House). And to be sure there are more laying around here that I haven't unearthed yet.
I'm hoping now that Olivia has two weeks off of school, and Bill will have the entire week after Christmas off of work, I will be able to tackle all of the things that need to get done so I may have a few hours to devote to pleasure reading. *sigh* Oh how I miss thee, pleasure reading.
I really do have a problem (BTW: The girls' book count for Christmas is up to 20…but I swear I'm done. I think…). However, as far as problems go, it could be much, much worse.

Date of birth
193 cm
Thriving in his first season at the club, Mark Beevers was named in the Sky Bet League One Team of the Season for 2016/17.
Moving to the Whites on a free transfer, the defender quickly cemented his place in the heart of the Whites defence alongside David Wheater.
A stalwart of Millwall's backline in recent seasons, the defender put pen-to-paper on a two-year deal before extending that in the summer of 2018 by a further year.
Born in Barnsley, the 28-year-old started his career with Sheffield Wednesday and was a member of the Owls side that won promotion to the Sky Bet Championship during the 2011/12 campaign, having suffered relegation to the third tier two seasons earlier.
Following loan spells with MK Dons and Millwall, the former England Under-19s international joined the Lions permanently in January 2013.
On the scoresheet in last season's Sky Bet League One Play-Off Final, Beevers was unable to help the London outfit secure an immediate return to the second tier as they fell to a 3-1 defeat against Barnsley at Wembley.
Handed his Wanderers debut on the opening day of the 2016/17 season against Sheffield United, the defender formed a formidable partnership at the back next to David Wheater.
An ever-present during the opening six weeks of the campaign, Beevers fired home his first Bolton goal against MK Dons in September 2016.
Having made over a century of appearances for the Whites since joining, the towering centre back has been named in the 2016/17 League One PFA Team of the Year alongside Wheater in Wanderers promotion winning campaign.
He has become a fan favourite in the midst of third season with the club.

This collection was packed with normal items that normal men will want to wear - great bombers with fun details on the back, jean jackets, Hawaiian shirts, army coats. But there was a strange air of forced nonchalance - you saw it in those souvenir jackets and you saw in the way the show notes promised the pieces were 'pages of a thrilling diary to be worn'.

Sometime in April 2002 when I was staying with Rani in Honolulu, Hawaii, I attended a talk by members of the Polynesian Voyaging Society on how people in Polynesian sailors have been able to navigate thousands of nautical miles without compasses for centuries.
I am sure some of you may have heard about the legacy of Phinisi as something Indonesians can be proud of but have you really found out what the word really means and what it refers to? In fact, the word Phinisi originated from the word pinisiq and probably after the word pinasse, which in the French and German of the time referred to a medium-sized sailing boat.
I thought I should share with you a list of sailboat charters for you scuba divers or surfers for Indonesia. Below are some of the charter sailboats that I have found on the internet. Surprisingly, most of these attractive boats are operated by... well... Non-Indonesians! Yes, they seem to be the ones who can sell great tourism ideas to foreigners and serve them well.
We Indonesians must learn from them and that also means we ought to appreciate our seas much more.
Here is my list of wonderful charter sailboats out there (not in order of importance):
I am a strong believer in "being able to laugh at yourselves as a sign of maturity". And that is the reason why I encourage all of you all to watch Little Mosque on the Prairie (especially if you are a follower of Islam).
Yesterday we went sailing again with Derek Mazzone on his beautiful 37 feet ketch Blue Eagle from Changi Sailing Club.
Mas Judhi came with us and it was his first time sailing, too. So, he had every reason to be trigger happy and holding the lines like flying a kite!
Last Saturday we chartered Turmalin, a beautiful 54 feet ketch built in Hong Kong. Our friend Puput (who is relocating from Havana to Jakarta), my parents Hindro and Tuti, and the entire Blass-Hernandez family were aboard with us on a half-day cruise around Tuas (departing from Raffles Marina).
We departed shortly after 9:00am and had to be under power for the first hour seeking for favorable winds. It was only after 10:30am when 5 knots of wind came to push us southeasterly towards the tip of Jurong Island.
I am conducting polls here to see how people think of the cause of wrongdoing/goodwill acts by religious people. Have a go!
The first one:
The second one:
If you have to choose between sailing and... naked gardening, which one will be your choice?
I must say that I have never thought of it as an important activity for some people until I read this World Naked Gardening Day, which was described by the organizers in this sentence:
"All that's involved is getting naked and making the world's gardens--whatever their size, public or private--healthier and more attractive. WNGD has no political agenda, nor is it owned or organized by any one particular group. Naked individuals and groups are encouraged to adopt the day for themselves."
This morning I was telling Noe how smart he was for taking eating his pasta on his own or for kicking a bouncing ball. Then Rani warned me that what I did may backfire on Noe's motivation to try more difficult tasks. I did not believe her at first until Rani showed me this article on How Not to Talk to Your Kids.
I had the pleasure of cruising on Blue Eagle with Derek Mazzone (owner/skipper), Francis (from Changi Sailing Club) and Derek Wee (relative of Mazzone from Adelaide). It was Yodhi's first time being on a sailboat and he was enjoying it despite of the heeling. AWe set sail somewhere along Selat Johor and managed to just cruise along until sunset. There was hardly any traffic on this strait compared to the Selat Jurong area where barges and tugboats are always within half a mile radius. Akhmad had his 12mm lens on Nikon D70S and shot many scenes of the Monsoon Cup Regatta due North of where we were. Their spinnakers were up most of the time. So colorful and vibrant!
