Barbarian Days: A Surfing LifeProduct no.: 978-0143109396
Surfing only looks like a sport. To initiates, it is something else entirely: a beautiful addiction, a demanding course of study, a morally dangerous pastime, a way of life.

|Publisher's Synopsis
Finnegan shares stories of life in a whites-only gang in a tough school in Honolulu even while his closest friend was a Hawaiian surfer. He shows us a world turned upside down for kids and adults alike by the social upheavals of the 1960s. He details the intricacies of famous waves and his own apprenticeships to them. Youthful folly—he drops LSD while riding huge Honolua Bay, on Maui—is served up with rueful humor. He and a buddy, their knapsacks crammed with reef charts, bushwhack through Polynesia. They discover, while camping on an uninhabited island in Fiji, one of the world's greatest waves.
As Finnegan's travels take him ever farther afield, he becomes an improbable anthropologist: unpicking the picturesque simplicity of a Samoan fishing village, dissecting the sexual politics of Tongan interactions with Americans and Japanese, navigating the Indonesian black market while nearly succumbing to malaria. Throughout, he surfs, carrying readers with him on rides of harrowing, unprecedented lucidity.
"In the summer of 1992, there appeared in The New Yorker a long, two-part article by William Finnegan titled Playing Doc's Games that was instantly recognized as a masterpiece. A wise, richly atmospheric account of riding the gelid, powerful gray waves of San Francisco while negotiating the demands of a fanatical surfer-oncologist named Doc Renneker, Playing Doc's Games combines the deep knowledge of a widely traveled hard-core surfer, the observations of a born ethnographer and the wry aplomb of a New Yorker staff writer.
The theme is Finnegan's growing ambivalence about surfing, his conviction, set off against the foil of Renneker's unwavering zeal, that he has given more than enough lifeblood to this sport or 'path' or whatever it is. For Finnegan, a great deal of whose identity is bound up with surfing, this ambivalence amounts to a personal crisis; but it is also the crucial literary prerequisite, providing the critical distance that allows Finnegan to see surfing with unparalleled clarity.
Playing Doc's Games frequently alludes to other chapters in Finnegan's storied surf life — Hawaii, the South Pacific, Indonesia — but in the nearly 25 years since its publication, there have been only rumors of the memoir that seemed an inevitable outgrowth of the article. With Barbarian Days, we finally have that extraordinary book in full, including, largely unchanged, Playing Doc's Games. It is in many ways, and for the first time, a surfer in full. And it is cause for throwing your wet-suit hoods in the air." ~New York Times
"An evocative, profound and deeply moving memoir…The proof is in the sentences. Were I given unlimited space to review this book, I would simply reproduce it here, with a quotation mark at the beginning and another at the end. While surfers have a reputation for being inarticulate, there is actually a fair amount of overlap between what makes a good surfer and a good writer. A smooth style, an ability to stay close to the source of the energy, humility before the task, and, once you're done, not claiming your ride. In other words, making something exceedingly difficult look easy. The gift for writing a clean line is rare, and the gift for riding one even rarer. Finnegan possesses both." ~San Francisco Chronicle
"Gorgeously written and intensely felt…With Mr. Finnegan's bravura memoir, the surfing bookshelf is dramatically enriched. It's not only a volume for followers of the sport. Non-surfers, too, will be treated to a travelogue head-scratchingly rich in obscure, sharply observed destinations…Dare I say that we all need Mr. Finnegan…as a role model for a life fully, thrillingly, lived." ~Wall Street Journal
"Fearless and full of grace." ~Outside Magazine
"A hefty masterpiece." ~Geoff Dyer, The Guardian
"On the afternoon of our arrival, during my first, frantic survey of the local waters, I found the surf setup confusing. Waves broke here and there along the outer edge of a mossy, exposed reef. I was worried by all the coral. It was infamously sharp. Then I spotted, well off to the west, and rather far out at sea, a familiar minuet of stick figures, rising and falling, backlit by the afternoon sun. Surfers! I ran back up the lane. Everyone at the house was busy unpacking and fighting over beds. I threw on a pair of trunks, grabbed my board, and left without a word.
I paddled west along a shallow lagoon, staying close to the shore, for half a mile. The beach houses ended, and the steep, brushy base of Diamond Head itself took their place across the sand. Then the reef on my left fell away, revealing a wide channel—deeper water, where no waves broke—and beyond the channel ten or twelve surfers riding a scatter of dark, chest-high peaks in a moderate onshore wind. I paddled slowly toward the lineup—the wave-catching zone—taking a roundabout route, studying every ride. The surfers were good. They all had smooth, ungimmicky styles. Nobody fell off. And nobody, blessedly, seemed to notice me.
I circled around, then edged into an unpopulated stretch of the lineup. There were plenty of waves. The takeoffs were crumbling but easy. Letting muscle memory take over, I caught and rode a couple of small, mushy rights. The waves were different—but not too different—from the waves I knew in California. hey were shifty but not intimidating. I could see coral on the bottom, but except for a couple of heads poking up far inside (near shore), nothing too shallow.
There was a lot of talk and laughter among the other surfers. Eavesdropping, I couldn't understand a word. They were probably speaking pidgin. I had read about pidgin in James Michener's Hawaii but, with my debut at Kaimuki Intermediate still a day away, hadn't actually heard any yet. Or maybe it was some foreign language. I was the only haole (another word from Michener) in the water. At one point, an older guy paddling past me gestured seaward and said, 'Outside.' It was the only word spoken to me that day. And he was right: an outside set was approaching, the biggest of the afternoon, and I was grateful to have been warned.
As the sun dropped, the crowd thinned. I tried to see where people went. Most seemed to take a steep path up the mountainside to Diamond Head Road, their pale boards, carried on their heads, moving steadily, skeg-first, through the switchbacks. I caught a final wave, rode it into the shallows, and began the long paddle home through the lagoon. Lights were on in the houses now. The air was cooler, the shadows blue-black under the coconut palms along the shore. I was aglow with my good fortune. I just wished I had someone to tell: I'm in Hawaii, surfing in Hawaii. Then it occurred to me that I didn't even know the name of the place I'd surfed. It was called Cliffs.
It was a patchwork arc of reefs that ran south and west for half a mile from the channel where I first paddled out. To learn any new spot in surfing, you first bring to bear your knowledge of other breaks—all the other waves you've learned to read closely. But at that stage my complete archives consisted of ten or fifteen California spots, and only one I really knew well: a cobblestone point in Ventura. And none of this experience prepared me especially well for Cliffs, which, after that initial session, I tried to surf twice a day."

The final instalment of Sandgate pictures taken over five months and a thousand miles of coastal rambling.
There are a few stormy pictures here — appropriately, as this morning a late-season cyclone named Marcia shifted rapidly in severity from Category 1 to 5 (the worst) and crossed the Queensland coast near Yeppoon about 680km (422m) north of Brisbane.
I broke my arm and ruptured an eardrum in Yeppoon when I was a kid. That put a damper on the family holiday and my lower left arm still doesn't look right to me. Reports suggest quite a nasty streak of destruction up there.
We're getting a bit of rain down here and as the storm moves south (weakening as it goes) we should be in for some serious downpours tomorrow and beyond, coinciding nicely with some king tides, so local creeks and waterways will be ripe to bursting.
Another cyclone just did its thing up in the Northern Territory at virtually the same time. This pair has arrived late in the season and apparently the late ones are generally the worst.
Anyway, a dramatic near-end (please!) of another subtropical Summer — and a stormy beginning to the Year of the Goat.
With a title like that it's bound to be awesome.
~ And that's all the Goat wrote

I've neglected the blog for too long! It's been very nice to reconnect with the family, after all we've been through the past three months. We have so much to be thankful for: My daughter's health, after her diagnosis with Type 1 diabetes; and my own health, after a successful surgery to control symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
At this point, my medication and stimulation are stable. However, we still have a need — and the possibility — of improving both. I still have some unwanted motion in the muscles of my right side, but compared with where we were two months ago, the change can still be considered miraculous. The left side seems a little undermedicated. By that I mean the tremor and generalized muscle stiffness is very evident when my med levels are low.
We have lots of room for improvement. The next step is likely to be a fine-tuning of the device that might allow for additional right-side relief while simultaneously rethinking the medicine for controlling the left. I'm looking forward to it.

Date & Time: Thursday 29 May, 7-9PM
Venue: Khalili Lecture Theatre, SOAS
Listen to podcast
Speakers: Professor Andrew Dorward, Professor of Development Economics, SOAS; His Excellency Bernard Sande, Malawi High Commissioner; Dr Zoltan Tiba, Oxford Policy Management; Dr Steve Wiggins, Research Fellow, Overseas Development Institute (ODI); Dr Christone Nyondo, Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, Malawi. Chair: Professor Thandika Mkandawire, Professor of African Development, Department of International Development, LSE
Event in partnership with Future Agricultures Consortium.
Agricultural input subsidies have been adopted on a large scale across different African countries in the last few years. However global experience with input subsidies has been mixed, and there are concerns that current input subsidies are expensive political programmes with limited development benefits. An alternative view promotes new, 'smart' approaches in subsidies' delivery and their potential to raise the productivity of millions of poor smallholder farmers and lift them out of poverty while promoting wider food security.
In 2005/6 the Malawi Government introduced a large scale national programme subsidising agricultural inputs, mainly fertilisers and seeds for maize production. The programme has attracted considerable controversy, seen by some as making a major ground-breaking contribution in addressing chronic food security problems in the country, but attracting criticism from others as an expensive programme consuming scarce government resources with limited benefit.
In this book Ephraim Chirwa and Andrew Dorward document findings from long running evaluation and research on the Malawi programme. This is set in the context of evolving understandings on agricultural input subsidy costs and benefits in different situations, of other African countries' experience with similar programmes, and of Malawi's particular history and situation. The story and conclusions are relevant to other countries which may be considering such programmes and to those seeking to better understand what the programme has and has not achieved in Malawi. It also presents critical perspectives on the post-independence history of agricultural politics and policies in Malawi.

Notable Commencement Speakers 2012
This list of notable commencement speakers for colleges in 2012 includes some incredibly prestigious individuals. In 2012, students at colleges all over the U.S. were fortunate enough to hear commencement addresses from politicians, heads of state, successful businessmen from many different industries, journalists and actors/actresses.
Among the most distinguished 2012 commencement speakers: President Barack Obama, who addressed students at Barnard College and the U.S. Air Force Academy. First Lady Michelle Obama was also quite busy during the graduation season, addressing graduating classes at Virginia Tech, North Carolina A&T and Oregon State University, among others. Joe Biden gave the commencement address at the USMA, West Point, in 2012 (his wife, Jill, spoke to Broward College's graduating class as well), and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney spoke at the Liberty University graduation ceremonies.
Journalists are often a popular choice as commencement speakers, and in 2012, those giving commencement addresses included Katie Couric (University of Virginia), Tom Brokaw (Vanderbilt University), Christiane Amanpour (University of Southern California), Brian Williams (George Washington University) and Bob Woodruff (Boston College).Actors and actresses who were commencement speakers included Steve Carell (Princeton University), Jane Lynch (Smith College) and Robert De Niro (Bates College).

Amazon Cloud Outage Hits Netflix, Foursquare
In the same week that a lightning strike in Dublin knocked out service for some European users of Amazon and Microsoft's cloud services, Amazon also suffered a stateside cloud outage that affected popular services like Foursquare, Reddit, and Netflix.
According to Amazon's service dashboard, the company's Elastic Computer Cloud (EC2) and Relational Database Service (RDS) experienced a service disruption in Northern Virginia yesterday around 10pm Eastern time. Service for both services was restored just after 11pm, but not before impacting some of its high-profile users.
"We're aware that some members are experiencing issues streaming movies and TV shows. We're working to resolve the problem," Netflix tweeted last night. The problems were resolved about two hours later.
Last night, Reddit also reported "issues communicating with Amazon EC2," and tweeted later that " Amazon's US-EAST data centers have all dropped off the internet." Reddit was back online about 11 hours ago, but at that point, Reddit said it had not yet hard any updates on the situation from Amazon.
"We're currently down due to the Amazon EC2 outage," Foursquare also tweeted last night. The service was back online just after 11pm.
Photo app Instagram also experienced some downtime, the company said last night.
According to CRN, the issues happened after Amazon network traffic was "executed incorrectly." Instead of shifting to another router, traffic went to a lower-capacity network, taking down servers in Northern Virginia.
Also this week, a lightning strike near an Amazon data center in Ireland caused an explosion and fire that knocked out utility service and left it unable to start its generators, resulting in a total power outage. Microsoft's hosted online services were offline for about four hours, preventing access to its services for that time, based on a "power issue."
Amazon experienced a more widespread cloud outage back in April.

Gangnam Pistachios
This one typifies one of the most destructive double-standards in society today. Why is that when we see men dancing on TV, they're always having goofy fun WITH THEIR CLOTHES ON, but when you look at the OTHER side, every single depiction of anthropomorphic pistachios shows them sexily peeling off their shells within seconds. This objectification of anthropomorphic pistachios is irresponsible. Pistachios are more than objects. That's why we took the the time to anthropomorphize them so they would have human qualities! What kind of example is this setting? Pistachios are more than just a shell waiting to be cracked open, and sometimes pistachios do that weird thing where they're not split and you can NEVER get them open. We need to make sure that these more realistic depictions of anthropomorphic pistachios are presented in media today.
Volkswagen Get in. Get Happy.
This one has elements that aren't offensive by themselves, but when you put them TOGETHER it becomes just wrong. I can't believe this commercial juxtaposes The Partridge Family theme song with images of boring office life. The Partridge Family represented family, artistry, freedom, and togetherness everything that is antithetical to today's modern work environment that takes people away from their families and shunts them into soulless, cubic prisons. If The Partridge Family were alive today, and also not completely fictional, they would be disgusted to see the way their song had been appropriated.

In part one of the Shrimp/Fish Taco series, the grocery list included avocados for the always popular guacamole. Guacamole has become a staple at our house, often starring as a spread on breakfast sandwiches or burritos, quesadillas, paninis or as a side with chips for Mexican Chicken Soup.
It has taken some trial and error on my part to get to the point where I am comfortable picking out avocados that will be ripe when I want to use them, either right away or in a few days. It wasn't always pretty. I did learn that even if an avocado is a little more or less ripe than I thought, it still tastes pretty amazing! (See the link in part two of this series on how to pick an avocado.)
A lot of people seem to shy away from making their own guacamole for a couple reasons:
- the uncertainty of ripeness,
- the price, and
- how quickly it turns brown if you don't eat it all.
Regarding choosing "ripe" avocados, my advice is to buy them a couple days ahead and buy them firm. Not hard, but firm. Allow them to ripen at room temperature until they start to "give" when a gentle pressure is applied. If they reach this point and you are not ready to use them, put them in the refrigerator to keep them from ripening further. If you do not think they will be ripe enough by time you want to use them, put them in a brown paper bag at room temperature which will expedite the ripening process.
As for the price, I think most of us would be willing to pay the price as long as we didn't feel the avocados would be wasted due to over-ripening or the issue of the cut/mashed avocado turning brown.
There are three things that will help slow down the browning process. They will not eliminate it completely but the combination of these three things does help:
- the pit,
- lime juice, and
- eliminate exposure to air.
In each of the pictures above, the avocado pit is in the center. Exposure to the pit itself keeps the avocado from browning, a tip I received from a good friend who ran a catering company and served the most amazing guacamole at my son's graduation party. So, if you only use half an avocado, use the half without the pit and refrigerate the half that still has the pit attached. If you use the whole avocado, place the pit in with the guacamole.
The acid in the lime juice also slows down the browning process. A good squeeze of lime as you mash and mix the avocado and even a little over the cut half of the avocado you are saving for another day will help a lot.
Finally, eliminate exposure to air when storing. The avocado half that you are putting back in the refrigerator should be wrapped carefully in plastic wrap, eliminating as much air space between the wrap and the cut portion of the avocado as possible. When you store the guacamole in an air-tight container, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the guacamole and gently press it down as shown in the picture above. Put the lid on tight.
Now that's a lot of talk for something that usually doesn't make it to the leftover stage. But I thought I'd tell you just in case there is just enough of that beautiful green mixture left for tomorrow's breakfast sandwich!
1 avocado, mashed, skin discarded and pit set aside
1-2 tablespoons finely diced onion
1-2 tablespoons finely diced green pepper
1 teaspoon finely diced jalapeno
1 garlic clove, minced
2-3 tablespoons diced tomatoes (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Mix all ingredients together gently. Add more salt and/or pepper to taste.
Double or triple as you like. Mix and match ingredients and amounts to find your perfect combination.
There are tons of internet videos showing how to cut, peel and slice an avocado. If you like kitchen gadgets, I would highly recommend the one pictured above. Santa left this one for me in my stocking this past Christmas. That guy knows me pretty well!
Happy Christmas, Cinco de Mayo and every other day worthy of guacamole.
I think today is one of those days!

Bill Austin, a Pro Bowl guard who played for the Giants' 1956 N.F.L. champions, coached the Green Bay Packers' offensive linemen for Vince Lombardi's power sweep and was twice an N.F.L. head coach, died on May 22 in Las Vegas. He was 84.
His death was announced by the Giants.
The Giants waited until the 13th round to select Austin out of Oregon State in the 1949 N.F.L. draft, but he became a mainstay of their offensive line for seven seasons. He teamed with Roosevelt Brown and Dick Yelvington at tackle, Ray Wietecha at center and Jack Stroud at the other guard on the 1956 champions. With Lombardi running the offense under Coach Jim Lee Howell, the pulling guards led the way for halfback Frank Gifford's runs in an early version of the power sweep.
Austin, 6 feet 1 inches and 225 pounds or so, threw a block that sprang fullback Mel Triplett for a 17-yard touchdown run in the first period of the Giants' 47-7 rout of the Chicago Bears in the '56 league championship game at Yankee Stadium.
He had been selected for the Pro Bowl in 1954 and was named by United Press International as a first-team All-Pro in 1955.
When Lombardi became the Packers' head coach in 1959, he named Austin to coach an offensive line that included Jerry Kramer and Fuzzy Thurston as the pulling guards, with halfback Paul Hornung and fullback Jim Taylor running the power sweep.
"Bill was not very big, but he was real smart," The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel quoted Lombardi as saying in recalling when Austin played for him with the Giants. Kramer told the newspaper upon Austin's death that Austin was adept at making adjustments at halftime and "understood the overall game and the small parts of the game."
The Packers won two N.F.L. championships, defeating the Giants each time, in Austin's six seasons as line coach.
Austin coached the Los Angeles Rams' linemen in 1965, then was hired by the Pittsburgh Steelers as their head coach on Lombardi's recommendation. But his teams went 11-28-3 in the next three seasons, and he was replaced by Chuck Noll.
When Lombardi became the Washington Redskins' head coach in 1969, he again selected Austin to oversee his offensive line.
Austin became the head coach in the summer of 1970 while Lombardi was battling the cancer that took his life in September. Austin's Redskins went 6-8 that season, and he was succeeded by George Allen.
William Lee Austin was born on Oct. 18, 1928, in San Pedro, Calif., and grew up in Oregon.
He became an all-Pacific Coast Conference tackle at Oregon State. After two seasons with the Giants, Austin spent two years in military service, then played for them from 1953 to '57.
After coaching the Redskins, he had stints as an assistant with the Chicago Bears, the St. Louis Cardinals, the Redskins, the Giants, the New Jersey Generals of the United States Football League and finally the Jets in 1985.
Austin is survived by his wife, Goodrun; his daughters Barbara, Deborah, Pamela and Marietta; five grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.
Austin could be gruff in the mold of Lombardi. When he succeeded Lombardi as the Redskins' coach, Austin told The New York Times, "At least I can yell as loud as he can."
The former Steeler running back Dick Hoak recalled that he flourished in the I-formation that Austin put in as Pittsburgh's head coach. But Austin could exhaust players with drills and calisthenics, Hoak said. "Like all the guys who came from Lombardi's staff, they weren't themselves," he told Bloomberg News. "They tried to be like Lombardi."

It is with deep joy and pride that we welcome to Caldas da Rainha the 2017 edition of the World Press Cartoon. In a town marked by the work and the great caricaturist tradition of Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro it is only natural and logical this linkage to a contest that celebrates the best that is being created all over the world in this arts field.
Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro was the greatest creator of Portuguese caricature and his character «Zé Povinho» will always be a symbol of Portuguese people.
In Caldas da Rainha, this great artist was able to interconnect drawings and caricature ceramics. It is our intention that these two art fields return to this ancient linkage by creating ceramic pieces inspired by the cartoons exhibited in this contest, which will be produced by factories within our council area. This will be a unique opportunity to make Caldas da Rainha again the heart of humour and caricature in Portugal, also projecting it internationally through one of the main cartoon contests in the world as the World Press Cartoon indeed is.
The time frame for this year's World Press Cartoon contest was fertile in characters or events that will be marking the political landscape of Portugal and the world. In Portugal, among other events, the election of Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa as President of the Republic, the election of António Guterres as Secretary General of the United Nations or our victory in the European Football Championships have been major highlights. In the world, we have had, for instance, the departure of Barack Obama, the defeat of Hillary Clinton, the election of Donald Trump, Brexit, etc. From Kim Jong-un's North Korea to Erdogan's Turkey, Putin's Russia, or Assad's Syria, there has not been a shortage, not always for the right or for good reasons, facts where the fine pen of the caricature was able to apply its sometimes critical and scathing, others cheerful and fun vision.
We also wish to thank caricaturist António Antunes for the invitation and the commitment to organize this contest in our council. We hope this will be a great cartoon festival and that together the World Press Cartoon and Caldas da Rainha can energize the art of Caricature for many years.

1. The Color Wheel – The first thing that I thought of was our no-sew quilt. The kids play with this all the time –using it as a picnic blanket, as a tent.
2. Landscape – Blake Pier at Stanley. I see this pier every time I am in Stanley. I must have taken dozens of photos of this pier, yet I've never really set foot on it.
3. Black and White – I was going to try the mouse over trick that Ashley shared earlier this week with this photo, but for some reason, I could not get it to work. I use Windows Live Writer when doing my posts. Does anyone have any advice?
This is the original shot before I converted it to black-and-white. (I took this in early summer at my MIL's house, when the flowers were just starting to turn purple.)
4. Blank Space
5. Food – Chris and I went out for dinner tonight with a mind to get some good photos of food. We'd picked a Spanish restaurant that we'd been to before, but instead of my usual order, I'd decided to try their angel hair pasta with black truffles and wild mushrooms. Sounds good, right? *loud annoying buzzer sound!* Lesson: Never order Italian at a Spanish restaurant. Duh. I took a photo instead of a food display at a Korean restaurant that we sometimes go to, which is right across the Spanish place.

IATE Term of the Week: President of the (EU) Commission
May 16, 2014 12:51 pm
On the occasion of the European Parliament elections, the IATE Term of the Week is the President of the Commission.
Since the Lisbon Treaty (2009) entered into force, the powers of the European Parliament are more extensive than ever. The official 2014 election slogan "…it's different" entails that the upcoming elections will mark a revolutionising change in how the President of the Commission is elected. National political parties can now supply candidates for the position, which indeed gives European citizens more influence on the politics of the European Union.
The election deadline is imminent and much seems to be at stake. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) organised the 'Eurovision Debate' which was hosted by the European Parliament yesterday. Not only did the 90-minute long debate give the electorate an opportunity to consider which of the five candidates to vote for, but it was also the first, ever, political debate between all five candidates rivalling for the position of president.
The election candidates are Jean-Claude Juncker of the European Peoples' Party, Martin Schulz of the European Socialists, Guy Verhofstadt of the Liberals and Democrats, Ska Keller of the European Greens and Alexis Tsipras of the European Left. Read more about the candidates here.
Watch the debate here.
Who do you think is the most suitable candidate?
We invite you to suggest the equivalent terms in the missing EU languages, or alternatives to the existing term in your language if you consider the proposed term inaccurate. Provide your answer with a reliable reference and an accurate definition and/or context if possible.
Click here to contribute to IATE!
A terminologist for the language in question will revise your answer and decide whether to validate them. Given the implications of the process, a delay is to be expected.

A school in Lancashire, England sent a heart-warming letter to students telling them there is more to life than exam results. The letter went out to all Year Six pupils at Barrowford Primary School.
The message, signed by headteacher Rachel Tomlinson and Amy Birkett, told students the exam results do not define them.
The letter was likely inspired by principal at an unnamed school in the U.S. that sent out a similar letter last year.
Here's the full text of the letter sent to Barrowford students:
Please find enclosed your end of KS2 test results. We are very proud of you as you demonstrated huge amounts of commitment and tried your very best during this tricky week.
However, we are concerned that these tests do not always assess all of what it is that make each of you special and unique. The people who create these tests and score them do not know each of you- the way your teachers do, the way I hope to, and certainly not the way your families do.
They do not know that many of you speak two languages. They do not know that you can play a musical instrument or that you can dance or paint a picture. They do not know that your friends count on you to be there for them or that your laughter can brighten the dreariest day.
They do not know that you write poetry or songs, play or participate in sports, wonder about the future, or that sometimes you take care of your little brother or sister after school.
They do not know that you have travelled to a really neat place or that you know how to tell a great story or that you really love spending time with special family members and friends.
They do not know that you can be trustworthy, kind or thoughtful, and that you try, every day, to be your very best… the scores you get will tell you something, but they will not tell you everything.
So enjoy your results and be very proud of these but remember there are many ways of being smart.

FORT WALTON BEACH � A cursing man told a Fort Walton Beach Police officer he paid for two packs of toilet paper that were on his bicycle. But he could not produce a receipt and a store manager confirmed by way of video footage that he never entered the store.
The incident occurred July 7 at the Dollar General store at Choctaw Plaza. An officer saw a man pushing a bicycle and later wrote in an arrest report the man appeared to be drunk, based on the way he was walking.
The officer said the man walked by an outside sales rack and took two packs of Angel Soft toilet paper, put them on his bike, and headed toward Auburn Road.
The officer stopped the man in front of the Social Security office and asked if he�d paid for the toilet paper. The man said he did and started cursing the officer, according the arrest report. The officer told him to go back to the store and confirm the purchase.
The store manager reviewed video footage which proved the man hadn�t come inside. He did not have a receipt for the $11 worth of toilet paper.
He was charged with retail theft and has a plea date of July 30.

Bepannaah 28th May 2018 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
She holds out a red rose towards him and confesses her love for him. Aditya looks at her speechlessly. She asks him if he remembers how he made her see the good in herself. It is the biggest truth of my life. In fact even my mom couldn't understand me as much as you did in the past few days. I am sure you must be thinking I am a really forward girl but love makes us fearless. You know I am already very fearless. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I really love you.
Aditya takes the rose which makes Mahi happy. Are you crazy to even think of that? I never wanted to give you nay wrong signal. What were you thinking? I do not feel that ways towards her and it can never be. I only see a very good friend in you and nothing more. I am really sorry. He keeps the rose back in her hand. I am sure there would be a lucky guy for you in this world too. He will keep you really happy. She asks him what was all that he was doing since all these days. he replies that he was doing it to poke Zoya. Did it go overboard? I am sorry but I never crossed any limit. I am sorry if you think I did that. I only wanted to make her like she was before her suicide attempt. She wasn't reacting at all. She was only protective towards you so I did all that. I dint think you will think all this. She calls herself stupid. I listened to my heart again and fooled myself. I will think it to be a lesson. I will see you later. She turns to go. He says we became good friends this way atleast. You wont break our friendship right? She looks at his hand and then at him but shakes hands with him. Ofcourse! In fact our friendship will become deep. She begins to walk away.
Mahi cries wondering why this happens to her only. What do I lack? Has God not etched the line of love in my hand? Bhaiya and Aditya did the same.
Zoya asks Mahi why she is crying. Mahi crumples the flower angrily. Zoya looks behind Mahi and notices Aditya. Mahi throws the flower angrily and leaves.
Inspector tells Harsh it isn't easy. Senior is handling the case. Harsh asks him to get the details of that senior atleast. Inspector agrees.
Zoya says this is what I was worried about. You don't listen to me anyways and now you broke her heart! I don't know what all you can think of. He explains that he never did anything special for Mahi. How did she feel special when I dint do anything special for her? I only joked with her and had some fun moment. I dint even flirt with her. I dint even try to trap her. It's not my fault. Why did she fell for me? She says you don't do anything always. You gave so much attention to the girl who you never spoke to; you looked at her intensely and were nice to her. It is so obvious that her heart melted for you! He holds her real close. Now I am holding you really close and I am looking at you intensely. Do you also feel something towards me now? Did your heart melt towards me now? Mahi is watching them from far. Zoya frees herself. You know how it feels when heart breaks! How can you even think of doing that with someone then? He insists he dint make any false promises to Mahi and dint cheat her. I dint do anything intentionally. You know that. I have apologized to her in case of any misunderstanding. I have apologized to her. A, I cannot love Mahi. B, I cannot love again! Who can know it better than you? Will I be able to love again after what we have been through?
Mahi comes to Virani House. Everyone is talking happily and Mahi begins to scold them for no reason. She sends everyone back to work. No one wants to do anything! Sagarika asks her how it was. Did you get what you wanted or? Seems like you dint! This is what happens when you try to become a bone in someone else's life. It is better to find your own kebab. Mahi walk away irked.
Aditya walks up to Mahi. Zoya looks on from far. Aditya again apologizes to her. I never wanted to hurt you. Forgive me as a friend. She lies that she is absolutely fine and goes. Aditya feels bad. He finds himself facing Zoya but he begins to walk away when Sagarika stops them. Did you guys fight again? She gives a flower to Aditya. You can always pacify a woman with it. Mahi is also watching them. Sagarika makes Aditya do it with love. Also, tell her that you only love her and wont do it again. Aditya ends up saying it. Zoya looks at him and accepts the flower. She walks away after saying thank you. Aditya thanks Sagarika who smiles.
Rajvir comes out of the hiding place and looks at the photo.
Rajvir is speaking to his Senior. I have lot many proofs and I am now sure that the accident is somehow related to Aditya and Zoya. It wasn't an accident but an incident! He finds Mahi reading his file and ends the call. She figures out that he is CBI Officer Rajvir Khanna. You have come to know the truth behind Yash Bhaiya's death. Aditya was telling me how you were asking him strange things when you took him out for a tea in the morning. You have also clicked many photos of them. You must be thinking how they can be so lovey-dovey when they just lost their spouses. I know that you need proof against Aditya and Zoya. You will need my help for that. He is surprised. She reasons that enemy's enemy is enemy after all! He advises her to think through. On one hand, it is your Bhabhi while on the other hand; it is the guy who you love immensely! You thought I wouldn't know? You are talking about helping me? She says Zoya snatched my brother and everything from me. She is my nothing. I cannot go through what she went through, even if it means with Aditya. Are we friends now? He asks her how she will help him. She tells him to leave it on her. Everything will be over by tomorrow. Trust me. They shake hands. Mahi thinks Zoya Siddiqui, whoever becomes the thorn in my life, is plucked out! See how I will make your drama before everyone! Enough of comedy, now there will be drama!
Rajvir and Mahi are having coffee. Rajvir says I will very soon end the rat and mouse game. She asks him if he is sure that the guy they are meeting will help them. He speaks positively. A guy sits in the backseat. Rajvir gives him money. Hope you remember what you have to do? He assures him that the work will be done. We are doing this since last 50 years. He leaves. Rajvir tells Mahi his work is done. Now he will see what she does. She tells him to wait and watch. They decide to make the
Bank rep tells Aditya that they have only 48 hours left to repay the loan. Aditya repeats it for him. What are you doing her before time? Zoya calms him and assures the bank rep that they will give them the money asap. Bank rep isn't interested to know about their contract. Your time limit is final. He goes. Mahi coughs. Zoya requests Mahi to bring Aditya with him. He wont listen to me. She leaves with the interns.
Anjana comes to Sakshi's room when she is taking bath. She checks the cupboards and finds an envelope. Sakshi comes out just when Anjana is about to open it. She takes the envelope from Anjana's hands. I couldn't even think in my dreams that you would stoop so low. Earlier you used to only taunt me. I kept quiet because of Aditya and you thought I will bear all your insults and taunts? I am here as you only requested me to stay here for Aditya. You seem to forget it. You always blame me whenever something goes wrong with Aditya. Why else would you come in my room like a thief? Anjana says you also go out of the house stealthily. I have decided to make sure you keep no secrets from my family come what may. Sakshi feels it would be better to leave the house instead. I cannot bear you insult me like this every other day. Arjun overhears their fight.
Mahi asks Aditya to come. This event is very important for us. We must reach there asap. He asks her if she is fine. She nods. Aditya gets Arjun's call. Mom and Sakshi aunty had a fight. I wont be able to handle it. Come soon. Aditya agrees. He tells Mahi he will reach venue directly. Mahi informs Rajvir. He will come directly from home. Rajvir says I think I overestimated you. She says Zoya and I am about to reach and Aditya will also be there. This plan is very important for me. I cannot let it fail.
Virani's are doing some puja. Sumit asks Zoya and her team to remove their shoes and come. Zoya asks Mahi about Aditya and is told that he went home. They all sit down for the puja. Rajvir signals Mahi. Pundit ji is the same guy who Rajvir paid some money last night. He tells Virani's that there is some dosha on entire family. It is because of the new people you have recently met. Mahi asks about the pundit ji. Kalpesh gives his intro. If he is saying something then it must be truth. Pundit ji asks them to give kundli's of all those with whom they have recently connected. Someone asks about Aditya. Zoya says he might be coming. Pundit ji looks at Zoya. Did you and your husband face some problem recently? He checks her hand. Something is surely there. Is your husband with you? Zoya thinks of Yash's death. Mahi lies that he is on his way. Pundit ji says it seems as if something is incomplete in your wedding. How did you marry? Someone says they eloped. Zoya adds that they married in court. Pundit ji speaks of following all the wedding rituals like everyone else. This is the reason why your planets are not in sync with Virani family. Kanti ji asks for a solution. We have an event with them. Pundit ji tells them against it. Your company will be doomed that ways. Zoya and her husband will have to marry following all the rituals. This is the only solution. Mahi and Rajvir smile.
Rajvir says I am sure not everyone will be in agreement with the solution. Practically, the event cannot be cancelled. We don't need much. We can get them married if we make a few more arrangements. There would be no problem as you guys are already worried. The dosha will be also gone. Pundit ji praises him. Zoya is tensed. Kanti ji asks Zoya to call Aditya. We will get you guys married right away. We will then proceed with the event.
Sakshi is leaving. Anjana tells her she does not care if she stays or leaves. I have found out your truth. Wish Aditya was here. Arjun requests Sakshi to stay. Aditya comes in just then. He notices the suitcase in Sakshi's hands and her tears. This is your house as well. You wont go anywhere and that's final! Anjana asks him to ask Sakshi what she is hiding but he refuses. Don't you have anything else to do? I told you and I am telling you for the last time. I don't wish to know anything. I only know that I can trust her more than you. You were busy in your problems with Mr. Hooda. She wont go anywhere. Sakshi tells Aditya it would be right if she leaves. Our relation wont change. Please let me go. He declines but she asks him to listen. The suitcase falls down in the process and the photo flashes.
Zoya is trying Aditya's number but he isn't picking. I wont be able to do it! Mahi watches her thus. Rajvir stops her from going inside. It is time to weave your magic. You must convince her at any cost. She assures him that she will do it. I know all her weaknesses. She goes inside. Zoya tells Mahi she wont be able to do it. Mahi says we have no other option. We must do it. Zoya looks at her in shock.
Aditya looks at the photo. Sakshi tries to touch him but he tells her against it. She asks for a chance to let her explain. It isn't what it appears to be. He says you knew. Yes or no? She ends up saying yes. He drops the photo in shock. I don't want to hear anything. He looks at Anjana and then turns to Sakshi. I trusted you more than my own mother. She always kept telling me not to repeat my mistake again but I did! I am sorry for trusting you more than my mother. I thought Pooja and I are your kids and that you love us equally but I was wrong. You chose your cheater daughter instead of me! She says it isn't so. I went there to tell them they are doing the wrong thing. he asks her why she hid it from him then. Why did you cheat me? She replies that he knows her. It isn't so. He says I used to know you. It was a lie! Pooja used to tell you everything. She must have told you about her affair and made you meet Yash. You must have thought Aditya is mad for Pooja and he would do whatever she will say. I couldn't understand how I dint know that Pooja was cheating me. She wasn't alone. She had you. You were both cheating me! Like mother, like daughter! Both of you are cheaters! Sakshi says it is better that I leave the house then. He agrees.
Arjun calls it unfair. You dint give aunty a chance to even explain. Anjana advises him not intervene in the matter. It is between Sakshi and Aditya. Sakshi picks her bag and looks at Aditya but he turns his back to her.
Zoya asks Mahi what she is saying. How will it happen? Mahi calls her selfish for only thinking about herself. Not your fault! Maybe you have been taught to not think of anyone else but yourself. You were leaving the company forgetting all your promises! I think it isn't your fault. I think you are weak. You cannot handle the pressure. Maybe that's why Yash Bhaiya used to tell all his problems to Pooja. I don't blame you. Don't cry. That's the way you are. I will tell everyone that we will be closing down. How does it matter to you? Interns will struggle. Everyone came to you with their savings that day but you wont marry for their sake! Mom and I were by your side in your bad times even when we dint want to. I understand you cannot make such a big sacrifice. Zoya begins to say something but Mahi taunts her on that as well. Your "Hum" only has you. We are not a part of it! She walks away in a huff.
Rajvir tells his junior to keep Harsh at bay for some time. He tells the same to Harsh who agrees to wait till tomorrow.
Sagarika asks Zoya to call her parents. They must be so happy to see their daughter happy. Zoya thinks of the fight that has happened when she had chosen to marry Yash. They don't like Aditya which is why we ran away from the house. They wont come. Sagarika says I understand but don't worry, we are with you. Zoya tries Noor's number.
Sakshi says pointing fingers at someone and punishing them for their misdeed is easy. It is much easier when you don't have the courage to listen to your side of the story. My daughter was wrong. She did the wrong thing but what did your and Pooja's relation lack that she was seeking outside? Think about it if you get time. He says this is what I have been thinking. I did everything I could. You used to remind me of all the important dates and things all along. I fail to understand what I did wrong! Anjana says you (Sakshi) are still lecturing my son even after whatever happened. You are still taking Pooja's side? He loved you always. He had a mother yet he thought of you as his mother. You only cheated him in return. Stop acting nice. My son has only one mother – I! Sakshi walks out of Hooda House.
Noor is at Virani House. Noor tells her Appi not to fall for Mahi's words. She is a snake. Mahi asks her what she is then. Zoya stops Noor from reacting. Mahi says you don't care about what is going on in your sister's life. You only wanted your freedom which is why you ran from Mussorie. Now that your wishes have been fulfilled, you want to take your Appi back with you as your cover. Zoya asks Noor about it. Mahi acts innocent. All this internship was a sham? You were lying to your Appi since all these days? Learn to speak truth and then complain about me. Zoya asks Noor if this is truth. Noor calls Mahi over smart. I will tell Appi everything. Zoya asks her again. Noor nods. Zoya slaps her. Don't utter another word. You broke my trust. You lied to me? Go home and pack your bags. You are going home today itself. Noor cries. Zoya walks away in tears. Mahi tells Noor it happens sometimes in relations. Should I book a taxi for you? Noor shrugs her hand away. Mahi smiles.
Anjana comes to Aditya's room. She keeps her hand at his shoulder and he holds her tight and cries. She cries as well. He says why it happens with me always. Whoever I love and trust cheats me? I am so sorry. She tells him it is ok but he says you have been trying to tell me but I couldn't understand. She comforts him. He rests his head in her lap and cries. She tells him not to cry. I am here. He falls asleep while crying. His phone vibrates in the background.
Zoya asks Mahi why she also hid this truth from her. Mahi says I thought Noor would have told you. focus on the problem at hand. The marriages in serials are also fake. I will request Pundit ji to read fake mantras. It will be a fake marriage only. Don't worry. Akansha shares that Aditya isn't picking anyone's calls. Mahi tells her to keep trying.
Rajvir asks Zoya if she is still not ready. Kanti uncle has been speaking of cancelling the contract. I convinced him for now but you must hurry up. Zoya excuses herself.
Servant tells Anjana that Zoya is here. Anjana meets Zoya. My son has been through a lot today but not anymore. He fell asleep while crying. Don't disturb him. Aditya comes out.
Aditya shakes his head. She says would I have come here if there was some other way. You know how difficult it is with me. He tells her that she cannot even imagine what's happening in his life. I cannot act anymore. She says you have been trying to convince me that everyone's life is connected to me. How can you leave me alone when we are on the last page of this drama? Anjana wonders what Zoya is telling Aditya. Aditya is quiet. Zoya tells him she is going but she is sure he will come, if not for me then for the sake of all those whose lives are connected with Zosh. Aditya thinks of his wedding with Pooja and of her death.
Precap: Mahi and Sagarika are dancing. Zoya is all dressed up. She keeps looking at the door. Aditya comes just then. Aditya and Zoya come down dressed as bride and groom.

Virginia Republican Party Chairman Pat Mullins is asking a federal court to dismiss him as a defendant in Rick Perry's legal bid to be included on the state's presidential primary ballot.
The Texas governor along with several other Republicans failed to qualify for Virginia's March 6 GOP presidential primary. Only two Republicans -- former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Texas Congressman Ron Paul -- made the cut.
Perry sued, challenging Virginia's ballot access law requiring candidates to submit petitions bearing 10,000 valid state voter signatures to qualify. He failed to secure the required signatures.
Fellow Republicans Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Jon Huntsman joined Perry in the lawsuit this week.
Mullins's motion says he should be dismissed because the plaintiffs' dispute is with Virginia state officials and not with him.

The Messenger is so 2009
Monday June 6th 2011
The Messenger premiered at Sundance in January 2009. Now, after just 29 short months, it's found its merry way into UK cinemas courtesy of notorious mop-up distributor The Works. At the time it looked set for Oscar success, thanks to an awards-friendly subject matter (war, emotions and shit) and a 91% Rotten Tomatoes score. In the end though, critical adulation gave way to indifference and the film joined stuff like Good and Defiance in the endless cavern of Oscar-bait films considered just a little bit too boring, slight or shit to really make a dent on the Academy ballot.
In truth, it would be hard to feel too strongly one way or the other about The Messenger. Like The Hurt Locker, it exploits an inherently fascinating phenomenon (here it's casualty notification rather than bomb disposal) to fashion four or five massively powerful sequences, around which are littered a range of uninteresting characters, situations and relationships. Woody Harrelson's performance is perfectly serviceable, and Ben Foster's FACE OF ULTIMATE SERIOUSNESS hasn't lost any of its ultimate seriousness…
… but there's essentially very little to take from The Messenger if you've already got it into your head that emotions are complicated and people are flawed.
File under forgettable.

WESTERVILLE, Ohio — Mitt Romney stepped up his efforts to repair the damage from his "47 percent" comments, releasing a new television ad on Wednesday in which he speaks directly to the camera about his compassion and tries to reassure voters that he cares about the poor and middle class.
The 60-second ad, "Too Many Americans," was Mr. Romney's most aggressive effort to clean up the fallout from his secretly videotaped remarks at a May fund-raiser, where he called voters who do not pay income tax "victims" who are dependent on the government and feel "entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it."
But the ad came nine days after the video surfaced, a period in which Democrats have bashed Mr. Romney over the remarks, leaving him on the defensive in swing states like Ohio. The ad reflected a belief among his aides that in addition to trying to move past his "47 percent" comments, Mr. Romney can appeal to voters in an intimate, personal way, bonding over their economic worries. The spot, in which Mr. Romney seems to address the viewer, is an attempt, aides said, to reveal the compassion behind the policy. "The goal is to connect with voters over their anxieties over the state of the economy, and reflect the fact that Governor Romney has a plan to fix it," said Kevin Madden, a senior campaign adviser.
On Wednesday, the Romney campaign reserved $3.4 million worth of advertising time in eight swing states. Nearly half of that — more than $1.5 million — was for Virginia. The rest was spread across Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Wisconsin. His total ad spending for the week is more than $10 million.
But the campaign's slow response also highlighted the gamble Mr. Romney is taking: a belief that the race will be decided in its closing weeks, and that much of the battering he has taken from President Obama and the Democrats will not have a permanent effect.Continue reading the main story
The ad comes on the heels of a concerted effort by the campaign to offer more of Mr. Romney's personal story, after Republican complaints that he has not done enough to sell or humanize himself to voters. "President Obama and I both care about poor and middle-class families," Mr. Romney says in the ad. "The difference is my policies will make things better for them."
The Obama campaign continued to demand specifics in an effort to link Mr. Romney's "47 percent" remarks to the policies he would pursue as president. "Mitt Romney's new ad is just more of the evasiveness that his campaign has become known for," said Lis Smith, an Obama campaign spokeswoman. "He pays lip service to working Americans, but doesn't name a single policy to strengthen the middle class."
The Democratic National Committee also released a Web video that mashed the new Romney ad with his gaffes, including the 47 percent comment.
In recent weeks, Mr. Romney's campaign has also begun showing at rallies a 10-minute biographical video — first presented at the Republican National Convention — that offers a compelling emotional portrait of Mr. Romney's life.
The haphazard history of the biographical spot is an example of the campaign's struggles to shape Mr. Romney's image: the video was to be shown during the prime-time televised part of the convention, but was moved for Clint Eastwood's highly criticized speech. The video was then shelved, only to reappear at rallies after donors and fellow Republicans began clamoring for it.
Even Mr. Romney admitted that he had seen the entire video for the first time last week at a fund-raiser. Referring to clips of his father, George W. Romney, he said: "I saw my dad, and it brought a tear to my eye, and more, it touched my heart."
The question is whether Mr. Romney's newfound emphasis on his softer side is too little, too late, coming just five weeks before Election Day. His advisers claim that most voters are just tuning in.
At a Wednesday rally in Ohio, Mr. Romney spoke about the struggling voters he has met: "My heart aches for the people I've seen."
In an NBC News interview on Wednesday, Mr. Romney, explaining why he could relate to middle-class voters, talked about the health care law he championed as governor of Massachusetts but rarely mentions on the campaign trail. "Don't forget — I got everybody in my state insured," he said. "One hundred percent of the kids in our state had health insurance. I don't think there's anything that shows more empathy and care about the people of this country than that kind of record."
And at a candidate forum last week in Miami, Mr. Romney repeatedly assured voters that his campaign "is about the 100 percent in America."
"This is a campaign about helping people who need help," he said. "And right now, the people who are poor in this country need help getting out of poverty."
By painting himself as a compassionate conservative, Mr. Romney also seemed to be responding to his Republican critics, who have suggested that he borrow from George W. Bush's successful presidential campaign in 2000 that first used that phrase.
Mary Aggers, 65, watched the biographical video before Mr. Romney's campaign event in Bedford Heights, Ohio. "It shows an aspect of him that the press usually doesn't bring out — they try to make him a stiff, wealthy, cardboard figure," she said. "But I like him because he's not a politician."Continue reading the main story

Hello, everyone and welcome to ASK THE GOOD MOMMY! Today, I have nothing to share, but I'm so pleased to have a fellow author, co-worker and friend here…who does! Author, Nicholas Rossis is on a blog tour for his latest release, THE RUNAWAY SMILE. It's an awesome read for you to share with your kids and that's why we're so happy he's introducing it to us, aren't we? Because here, we're all about kids and parenting. Now, with as much fanfare as we can muster, let's all give it up for Nicholas Rossisssssss!!!!!!!!
Writing a children's book has some unique challenges. For example, how to choose the illustrator. This person will have to share your vision and be able to paint the images in your head.
In my case, my childhood friend Dimitris Fousekis is as much the creator of my children's book, Runaway Smile, as I am. In fact, the book started out as a silly poem that I was playing with in my head (you can read the final version of it at the end of the book). One day, back in 2012, I was having him over for lunch. He's a professional illustrator and liked the poem so much, that he suggested we turn it into a children's book. This was before I decided to become an author, and Pearseus had not even been conceived, so I was intrigued by the idea.
The book was written by me, but I used several ideas that had come up during our conversations. We then read through it together, improving it and coming up with gags and ideas for illustrations. Obviously, everything has to be approved by our pets, as you can see by the photo.
If you want to see what we came up with, you can read Runaway Smile, online for free!
Book Blurb:
"I woke up this morning and I had lost my smile and it wasn't my fault and I looked everywhere and it was gone. Then I met a workman and a king and the best salesman in the world and a clown and no-one wanted to give me theirs. At school, I asked Miss to give me hers, but she gave us a pop quiz instead, and then no-one was smiling and…"
From the blog of Nicholas C. Rossis, author of science fiction, the Pearseus epic fantasy series and children's books…
A little boy wakes up in the morning and realizes he has lost his smile. After spending the entire day trying to find it, he learns the truth behind smiles: the only real smiles are the shared ones.
Contact Information
I'm all around the Internet, but the best place to find me would be my blog, http://nicholasrossis.me/.
Anyone interested in my books can check them out on Amazon:
Also, people can read for free both Pearseus: Schism, on Goodreads and
Runaway Smile on my blog: http://nicholasrossis.me/childrens-books/

Brief Bio:
Avid reader. Web developer. Architect by training, holder of a PhD in Digital Architecture from the University of Edinburgh. Most importantly, author.
Nicholas loves to write. He has published Runaway Smile, a children's book, and the Amazon best-selling epic fantasy series, Pearseus. The fourth book in the series is currently edited, and expected to be released mid-February.
He has also published The Power of Six, a collection of short sci-fi stories that include his award-winning short story, I Come in Peace. This, too, has reached #1 on Amazon.
Nicholas lives in Athens, Greece, at a forest's edge, with his wife, dog and two very silly cats, one of whom is always sitting on his lap, so please excuse any typos in his blog posts: typing with one hand can be hard. Mercifully, all of his books are professionally edited.

How to Flirt Without Being Annoying
Explore this Article Conversing by Chat or Text Flirting Face to Face Questions & Answers Related Articles References
Flirting is fun. It's often the prelude to asking someone we fancy out on a date. However, flirting can get annoying, especially when it is persistent when it is unwanted, and when it is poorly done. Many people make mistakes when they flirt that dampen the ardor of the person they're interested in, and what's worse, they don't even know what they did wrong.
Part 1
Conversing by Chat or Text
1Choose words that aren't too suggestive or flirtatious. Aim to be polite and respectful of the other person, showing that you're keen to get to know him or her better. For instance, you could use common references to start a conversation: instead of saying "Hi, how are you," you could say it like Joey from Friends, "How you doin'?" This shows you have a sense of humor and are on the same wavelength as the other person
2Prefer open-ended questions to those with simple one-word answers. You want to keep the conversation going, and the best way to do that is to keep the other person talking. However, don't get too personal during your initial conversations. Doing so will make you appear creepy. Examples of suitable things to ask include:
- "How was your day?"
- "So, what are your favorite hobbies?"
- "Where do you like to go on the weekends?"
3Mind your spelling and grammar. This isn't 2005 when you were texting your friends in the code designed for your flip-phone's numeric keypad. You probably have a smartphone now, or at least a slider with a full keyboard. Type out full words and use proper punctuation. Disregarding grammar and using chat-speak makes you look childish.
- Another faux-pas is using too many emoticons. Use those smiley faces and winks sparingly.
4Avoid overtly-sexual humor. A little innuendo is fine and even desirable in some cases. However, draw the line at any joke that makes outright references to sexual acts, especially in the context of your love-interest.
- Of course, racial and ethnic jokes are never okay.
- Also, do we even have to say it? No nude pictures, please.
5Don't blow up your love interest's phone. If you haven't heard from your love-interest in a few minutes to a few hours, don't send him or her text after text asking if he or she received your message. Behavior such as this is a big red flag for someone who is desperate, has no life, or worse, is a creepy stalker waiting to happen. Not to mention, it is very annoying to the other person.
Part 2
Flirting Face to Face
1Make eye contact. Eye contact is very important in human-to-human interaction, but it has an added element when it comes to partner selection. When you meet your crush's eyes, you are demonstrating[1] that you're into him or her without being obvious about it. Here are some ways not to do it:
- Avoid staring at the other person's body. It can be considered as "sexing", which isn't really comfortable for some people. A lingering glance is okay, though.
- Avoid staring into the eyes without a break. That's plain creepy!
2Start an easy conversation. It doesn't need to be long at first, and it definitely shouldn't be complicated or make your partner feel uncomfortable. Here are some tips:
- Don't make "you" the main topic of conversation. Your partner will think that you're arrogant and just a bit boring.
- Get him or her talking about him or herself. Not only will you learn about the other person, he or she will also enjoy the conversation and want to continue talking.
- Avoid talking about personal or touchy things, especially money, faith, and politics. Money is a general turn-off (especially boasting or acting desperate) while beliefs can be navigated a little later on, when you're both feeling a little more certain about one another.
3Know when to back off. Nothing is more annoying that having someone that you're not interested in keep pursuing you. Watch the other person's body language for clues on how he or she is feeling about you. Some signals are deliberate while others are done instinctively, almost without the other person knowing it.
- If the person you're flirting with is a woman and she puts her purse[2] between you and her or grips it tightly, she's sending you a signal that she's not interested in you.
- Another signal is the direction of the body. If his or her body faces away from you, even if it's just the angle of his or her legs, it's time to move on.
- He or she may also come right out and tell you that he or she is not interested. If this happens, then politely leave.
Community Q&A
QuestionIt's awkward when I talk to him. What can I do?Community AnswerTry to start am easy conversation. Pick a topic you enjoy, such as a sport or activity you're involved in.

New release – v5.51 – Elevation data fixedAugust 6th, 2018
elevation tiles on Parkview Mtn, Continental Divide Trail
Version 5.51 is now out, which restores access to critical piece of TopoFusion's magic: Elevation Data!
We are extremely lucky to be able to continue pulling data from a number of public domain and free data sources. That means that TopoFusion can still be a 'one time' pay type of software with no recurring costs — as it has been since 2002 — 16 years!
The time may come in the future when in order to continue with key features like USGS topo tiles and elevation DEM data, that we either need to charge a yearly subscription or users pay for subscriptions to other map servers. But that day is not today! We're going to do our best to keep it that way.
Update your TF and check out the new version (full list of changes below), or if you are new to TopoFusion, go ahead and try the demo. And as always, let us know what you think, especially if you have a suggestion for a new feature or different way the software should work.
Team TopoFusion

A Mail reader has complained about Mid Ulster Council padlocking its amenity sites on Bank Holidays.
In a letter the ratepayer said Magherafelt Council kept the sites open but under the new council they were closed on the day when many people decide to do a tidy up around the house or garden. Asking not to be named, he said its time this "penny pinching operation" was brought to an end.
A Council spokesperson said: "Our recycling centres are open some evenings and on Saturdays, as well as during the day, to ensure that the vast majority of people have the opportunity to use them.
"While the cost of opening all 12 of our recycling centres on bank holidays would be substantial, we do open some holidays to ensure the centres are never closed for more than two consecutive days.
"So, for example, the centres were closed on Easter Monday, but open on Easter Tuesday and at Christmas will be closed on Christmas Day but open on Boxing Day."
