The verse usually tries to sum up a feeling about the deceased or an aspect of their character. The more humorous type of epitaph usually includes the manner of death. One
winner this week - Kathy Brandt - who sent lots of very funny epitaphs.
A few of the best can be seen below. Well done, Kathy. Peter

challenge was to write about somethin thin - in a thin way! We had
a huge number of entries. Here's the pick of the best. Our favourites
were Brodie Byrne's Thin and Fat and Courtney Carlton's Straws
Who's Who in a Clerihew? A clerihew is a four line comic verse of two rhyming couplets. The lines can be any length but the first contains the name of the well known person who is being written about. The second line should rhyme with the person's name. It was invented by Edmund Clerihew Bentley who died in 1956. So, your verse can be about anyone famous, it must rhyme and it should be F U N N Y. Here are the three best (Well done!)
A riddle poem is a poem with a puzzle. Think
of a common object. (For example - a pig) Now write down four or five
things that describe it. (For example - a pig is a four-legged mammal
bred for food, is pink, loves mud, digs for truffles, has a curly tail,
gets sunburned, can't fly.) Now write these as clues. Start with more
difficult clues first as you don't want to give the game away. Try and
think of less-obvious ways to say things. Instead of digs for truffles
how about digs for treasure? Now re-write your riddle as a poem. We
had some excellent riddle poems sent in. The winner was Julie Mootanah.
(Well done, Julie.) It's very tricky. Can you guess it? All the answers
are at the bottom of the page. What Am I? By Julie Mootanah (aged

Subhi (aged 11) A millionaire Answers to riddles (Set on October 10th 2001) Sonnets were first written
around five hundred years ago and made famous by such poets as Milton,
Wordsworth and Shakespeare. Sonnets should have 14 lines. Each
line should have the following rhythm - Change by Katy Mcalpin Several people sent
poems that were almost sonnets. Dana's poem was very close. It just
needs two more lines and regular 10 beat lines. It is a lovely poem,
though. Write a Kenning. Teacher by Nicole When? by Sarah Goodstone (aged 11) Father by Danny Chaucer We had some great rap poems sent us. Below are the best. Rap poems are written to be read aloud and performed. They must have a strong rhythm, which is usually helped along with clever rhyme. Raps are usually fast paced and have lots of repetition. They are used in modern music and began in America. Rap's roots can be found in Caribbean and Afro-Caribbean cultures. I by Gloria C. I can be as sweet as honey,
though you may not think it's true Funky

I think I've made up my mind for a new fork for my 2007 GF Wahoo. It has a 100mm Dart 1 fork with no lockout. I want a new fork that is lighter weight, but has better adjustability and ride.
I think the Tora XC SL Solo Air would work for me. I just ride cross country and think this would work. Can anyone vouch for this fork?

I can't come up with an original comment, BUT let me just echo the sentiment that you are the bright, bohemian star on our style sky. And every day that I pull on carhartts or some other tatty gardening garb I think to myself "what would Nicole do?" and add some small piece of flamboyance and color, just to stay true to myself. You freakin' rock girl.
I hope there's good baby news?

Community Blog: Keeping out the pigeons
Feral pigeons, stray crows and roaming rodents have been trying to make a home for themselves at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium. But they have been kept at bay…by trained falcons.
"Birds and rodents are controlled inside the stadium by using trained falcons to disturb and hunt them. Birds attempting to roost at night inside the stadium are disturbed, " so says Port Elizabeth poison-free pioneer and Wildline founder Arnold Slabbert.
Slabbert said the stadium was surrounded by a major concentration of feral pigeons, as the structure was conducive to encouraging pigeons to roost and breed there.
Another problem species, said Slabbert, was the ever increasing urban crow populations which were also controlled inside the stadium. "Crows interfere with the wiring systems on the speakers and create a major mess."
Through the Urban Raptor Project (URP), the city has set a standard in efficient bird control. Slabbert said the URP had commenced with initial stages of bird management at the stadium in April 2009.
Feral pigeons needed to be controlled or preferably eradicated totally. "They are a health risk and compete with our indigenous bird species."

J.R. Firth (1890-1960) was the first professor of linguistics in the United Kingdom. He is best known for his contributions to the study of 'meaning' and more particularly for his theory of phonology, variously known as Firthian Phonology, Prosodic Phonology, or Firthian Prosodic Analysis. Prosodic Analysis was radical for its time, and foreshadowed later developments in phonology.
The Archive contains off-prints, papers, personal letters, seminar notes and much other unpublished material of significance to the history and development of phonology. It has been assembled over a period of more than 25 years, with donations made by several of Firth's colleagues. It is an invaluable resource for tracing the development of linguistics, and more particularly phonology, in Britain in the first half of the twentieth century.
Explore the site and find out more about the Archive, its contents, history and main contributors. There is also a useful overview of Prosodic Analysis and a bibliography of work concerned with Firth and Firthian linguistics.

Arizona State Sun Devils
Arizona State tabs Indiana's Tracy Smith as new baseball coach
Arizona State has found its new baseball coach.
The Sun Devils have tabbed Indiana coach Tracy Smith to lead their program.
Smith, 48, was with Indiana for the last nine seasons. He led the school to 49 wins and its first ever College World Series appearance in 2013. He was named the NCBWA Coach of the Year that season for his efforts.
"His accomplishments and accolades on the field speak for themselves, and his career has been defined by class, dignity and integrity," Arizona State athletic director Ray Anderson said in a statement. "He will be a great fit within the ASU family, our baseball community and our current student-athletes, and we can't wait for the new era of Sun Devil Baseball to begin under Tracy's guidance."
Smith's Hooseirs won 44 games in 2014, but saw its season end at the hands of Stanford in the regional round. In all, he compiled a 287-235 record at the school, including a 127-111 mark in Big Ten play.
Prior to coaching at Indiana, Smith was the boss at Miami (OH), his alma mater. He led the Redhawks to a 317-220-1 mark in nine seasons, reaching the NCAA Regional in 2000 and 2005.
In his playing days, Smith was a 39th round draft pick of the Chicago Cubs in 1988 and played in 206 minor league games over the next three seasons. Smith hit .201 with a home run and 47 RBI with Class-A Geneva, Peoria and Winston-Salem.
Smith is replacing Tim Esmay, who resigned earlier this month after the Sun Devils went 33-24 and lost their first two postseason games. In five seasons under Esmay's tutelage, ASU went 201-94-1, won a conference title (2010), advanced to four NCAA Tournaments and made one College World Series appearance.

Once placed under the thumb of state assistance, has the autonomy gone by the wayside?
Will the state dictate: go to public school? Get vax? get a job? go to daycare?
basically what rights are given up when as a taxpayer, one needs help financially, with food, clothing, etc but wishes to continue homeschooling?
any input would be greatly appreciated.
Sponsored Links | |||
and i don't think the gave my other friend any issues at all with WIC or food stamps.
i mean, here in MD i know that it eats up your day when you have to get your appointment, but, they don't tell you how to live.
I'm not sure about the last posters understanding of WA State HS laws. I don't know how that applies to the OP. I am only required to turn in a form to my local district. There is no alternative center in all districts. I do belong to CVA. They required I fill out an out of district form. I get all non-religious curriculum and some supplies paid for, as well as PE classes.
all this to say, these have helped give us a better quality of life for our children. I haven't felt threatened. I haven't been made to VAX my children. But, honestly some have been vaxed a bit before we decided to stop vaxing. We were not pressured into those by our insurance at the time. We just had decided they were fine then. Other circumstances have given us some concern. We just say we are still undecided. I have signed a form with our current Ped.
I don't know how other states do things. But, this state has been wonderful.

Not looking for carriculum assistance- but basic human needs.
Once you put yourself out there and ask for help, are you subject to the scrutiny and regulations of the state? kwim?
Vaxes are not an issue at all here. If you have state laws that allow philosophical exemptions then there is no issue. Even with my kids on state insurance it has not changed their healthcare or my rights to choose their care.
I also agree that the pp that mentioned WA homeschooling is mistaken. You are absolutely not required in this state to be part of a school district. You can do CVA or whatever and technically that means you are public schoolers, but many people do not. WA homeschool laws are actually fairly lenient.
mama to a sweet girl , & 4 silly boys
We get little reminders about when vaxes are "due" but no enforcement. WIC is a federal program and vaxes are absolutely not required-search for threads on here to find the statement on vaccines via WIC to print out and take with you if you are worried.
AP Mom to 5
I don't mean you MUST be a part of a school system, I mean it is an option but you technically are not "home schooling." I just meant to say it's the only way I know of that gives you state funding and have your kids learning at home.
I was thinking you were wondering if there is a way to get assistance with schooling.

Aron Mama to 6 homeschoolers -- 12, 10, 8, 5, 3, baby
In my experience, homeschooling has never factored into whether we qualified for food stamps, WIC, or . . . whatever the one is where they help you weather-proof and all that.
However, I did get hawk-eyed at a Medicaid appointment when I brought my hs-er with me, and the worker asked her some pointed questions that I thought were inappropriate.
For example, are you in a state that requires you to register your children with the districts as homeschoolers, but you haven't done that because you prefer to remain "off the grid"?
If you are actually breaking laws, then yes I would imagine that applying for aid would greatly increase your chances of appearing on someone's radar. Definitely not a guarantee (I think that most employees who deal with assistance don't actually have a ton of free time to randomly check up on everyone who comes their way), but I would imagine that, yes, it would increase your chances of being found out.
However, I don't know of any states where homeschooling, not vaxing, etc are illegal. But if you're actually breaking laws, then that's another matter.
It looks from your sig like you have littlies I would think it shouldn't be an issue if some of the older ones are homeschooled
thanks again.
new question: what does assistance do to your credit and ability to obtain and/or remain in a job? like a sales job? Can employers discriminate against a person because they have applied for state or federal aid? If there is documentation either way-anywhere?
thanks again. |

I've looked into childcare assistance too (I realize this probably isn't an issue for most homeschoolers, but dh and I will be doing a combination of school/work and sharing homeschooling tasks and may need childcare at times for the little ones) and the literature says your child must be vaccinated on schedule. Don't know if exemptions are possible...

thanks for your input- I am just conerned with any state aid, CEAP, WIC, Food Stamps, etc and its CT.
Not looking for carriculum assistance- but basic human needs. Once you put yourself out there and ask for help, are you subject to the scrutiny and regulations of the state? kwim? |
Please realize if you are getting funds for curriculum...then they are claiming your kids technically as enrolled in a public school program and they get a lot more than what they give you from government funds. They also get to pad their public school test/performance scores with your homeschooled kid's grades !

His band, 1969 have four songs posted on their MySpace profile. A full-length album titled Maya was released in late 2007.
A couple of bands that Butch has played guitar and performed in are Bad Boyz, and Byte the Bullet, which was changed to SouthGang.
When Butch took over lead vocals instead of guitar he was in bands such as Floyds Funk Revival, The Floyds, and Marvelous 3.
In late 2005, Butch released his first DVD, Live at Budokan.
Butch Walker is classified as an American songwriter, recording artist, and record producer.
Butch Walker produced The Academy Is...'s album Santi, and he provided keyboard sound and back up vocals on a few songs.
On the band Fall Out Boy's 2007 album Infinity on High, Butch is credited for vocals on the song You're Crashing, But Your No Wave as "The Forman", for co-producing the song Don't You Know Who I Think I Am? with Patrick Stump, and he is credited for crowd vocals on the songs; Hum Halleujah, This Ain't a Scene, It's An Arms Race, and Bang the Doldrums.

Butch Walker: (When asked the question of who he would produce for if he had the chance) My wish list of people to produce is pretty small. I don't think of this as a job; everything I've ever done has come to me. I never really approached anyone [to produce] because I did it on my own time. However, if Elvis Costello came along and asked me to do his record, I wouldn't turn that down. The only other musician is Elvis Presley, but I don't think that'll be happening.

We are fixing our flashing around our upper door and some of the siding will be damaged. We are trying to decide if we should buy the same siding (siding has faded so we need to buy enough for all the front) or do the front only in a differnt color and sytle all together. I really like the vinyl cedar shake style in a clay color. Please help me decide if this will look okay being so different from the rest of the house. The deck is going to be painted white with a glass front.
Thanks so much for your help.

Outdoor Water Solutions® 100' of 1/2" Diffused Aeration Tubing
Item # WX2-282028
- Google+
- Details & Specs
Outdoor Water Solutions® 100' of 1/2" Diffused Aeration Tubing. For the proper aeration of shallower ponds.
Aerating shallow ponds can be a real challenge. Bottom placed diffusers work great for ponds 8', 10', 15', and even 20' deep, but aren't always the best choice for shallower ponds. Outdoor Water Solutions' new Diffused Air Tubing works great to aerate ponds that are 3-8' deep. This is self weighted tubing that has aeration slits to give you more air spread out over a much bigger area. Works with OWS Aeration Windmills, AerMaster's and LD 1.5 Electric Aerators.

Obituary Information
Newspaper, Downey, Los Angeles County, California. Date: Thursday, August 24, 1933: "THOMAS O. HOOKER KILLED IN TRAFFIC ACCIDENT TUESDAY" "Thomas O. Hooker, of the Rivera district, was instantly killed Tuesday morning at the corner of Firestone and Paramount Boulevards when the car he was driving crashed with a ten ton truck loaded with gravel. He was thrown out of his car in the path of the heavy truck, and one of the wheels passed over his head. The gravel truck was driven by Amos Hoyt, Gardena, who stated the sedan Hooker was driving, loomed up in front of him as he was rounding the corner and was on the wrong side of the street. He made a desperate attempt to avoid the collision. The body of Hooker was removed to the Thos. L. Miller funeral parlor and an inquest held this morning. The jury found both drivers at fault. Mr. Hooker, 63 years of age, had lived in this district for seven years, coming here from Brownsfield, Texas. He had been Commissioner of Terry County, Texas for nearly two terms. For some time he has been residing on the F. B. Lyons ranch of San Gabriel Boulevard. Funeral services will be held at one o'clock this afternoon at the grave at Rose Hills Memorial Park. Elder J. A. Moore, of the Primitive Baptist Church, will be in charge of the service. He leaves to mourn their loss his widow, Mrs. Emily Hooker; sons Oliver of the George Barber ranch; William, Long Beach; Thomas, Bakersfield; John, of Texas; and daughters, Mrs. Meta Jenkins, Porterville, and Mrs. Ora Jones, of Hugh."

RE: Thank You!
Hi Fran. I'm glad you like the pictures I took of the Canfields. I think the snow adds a little interest. I had added a page for Frederick A., but I deleted it and added the pictures to the page you created - Frederick was handsome! I've added the monument picture to their parents' pages and submitted an edit to correct the spelling of Edmund's first name. Do you want me to add the monument picture to Louisa's page? She has her own headstone, but she is mentioned on the monument also. I wanted to try to fulfill your requests before the big storm hit. I don't know where you live, but we've gotten 3-4 inches so far today. Regards, Joan

I will be happy to work with you regarding these families. If you would provide me with an e-mail address, that would be preferable to the findagrave public messaging (include in an EDIT message). I have limited internet access and may be unavailable until Oct. 2. Liz

Fran - I am uncertain if you meant for Dorcas Leonard #118934162) to be the wife of Ezra Leonard as there is quite an age difference. Perhaps I edited it wrong. Please confirm or correct your intent for me. Thanks, Phyllis at Ashtabula Co. Genealogical Soc.

I have posted the picture you request for Leslie Margetts gravesite. He is buried with Anne Margetts, which might be his wife (??). I have created a memorial for her and posted the headstone there as well. I will be happy to transfer her memorial to you. Just let me know if you want me to.
