As a professional performing artist I help intermediate students adapt songs for performance and explore performance from a background in acting. From the moment you walk on stage the performance has begun. We discuss how to introduce a song, talk on the mic between songs, and how to deliver an energetic engaging performance.
I work directly with students wanting to compose and write their own songs. We look a different techniques to help you get "un-stuck" and to widen your chord range and feel in songs.
Co-writing is included upon request.
I have with both beginner and intermediate students arranged recording sessions with professional studios to document songs in a professional environment complete with band and all!
Young Students:
I combine a both classical note reading/theory with learning by ear. I simplify chords to get students playing quickly and to reap fulfillment from the very first lesson.
Adult Students:
I provide you with the basics in the first three lessons and resources online to help you get moving quickly. We discuss your specific performance goals and track your progress weekly.

About GfireClose
I have been teaching piano for over 22 years to ages 4-90 at all levels from beginner to advanced. I teach the importance of mastery at each level, so that the student understands what it takes to play and perform at her/his best.
About Gfire
Gfire loves to share her talents with her students. She prides herself on instilling a "sense of mastery" to each of her singing and piano students, no matter on which level they are. The students come away with a real sense of knowing their songs and their instruments inside out an
Gfire is also an award-winning singer-songwriter and "Yoga for the Voice" innovator. She has released 4 CDs of all-original music and is currently working on her 5th CD, to be released in 2015.
As a teacher, Gfire works with students of all levels and all areas of interest. In October 2007, Gfire became the only vocal teacher in the Western Hemisphere to gain full certification in the Science of Singing, developed by Ernest G. White of London, England. Her unique voice training program, entitled "Yoga for the Voice," combines this knowledge of the Science of Singing with ancient yoga breathing techniques. This technique allows each voice student to develop a "vocal tune-up" for the voice AND to discover what the natural singing range is and how to use the voice as effectively as possible. With the internet SKYPE technology, Gfire teaches voice students all over the world, from Switzerland to the U.K. to New Zealand to New York.
Her vocal students have sung in touring rock bands, on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, in successful auditions, in karaoke clubs, in coffee houses and folk clubs, at weddings and for their own enjoyment amongst family and friends. Whatever level of singing training you wish to acquire, she will show you the way to achieve it!
Gfire was also the main voice instructor and one of 3 main piano teachers at the Austin branch of Mars Music (now defunct) for 3 1/2 years. In addition to her vocal study and innovation, she has studied piano with top classical and jazz pianists, studied songwriting with Pat Pattison of Berklee College in Boston, gotten her full yoga teaching certification in 2004 and DJ'd at clubs and parties worldwide. For eight years straight - 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 - she has won the prestigious ASCAPlus Award for professional songwriting.
As a singer-songwriter, Gfire continues to write, record and perform with some of the best musicians and engineers in the world, including engineer Stuart Sullivan (Willie Nelson, Sublime, Meat Puppets, etc.), Hammond organ player Ian McLagen (Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart), cellist John Hagen (Lyle Lovett), fiddle/mandolin player Warren Hood (The Waybacks), bassist George Reiff (Ray Wylie Hubbard) and banjo picker Danny Barnes (Bad Livers, Dave Matthews).
Gfire's original songs have been played on over 200 radio and television stations worldwide. She has toured in over half of the fifty states, plus the U.K. and Canada.
*** Lesson Details ***
NEW - Gfire is now available to teach WORLDWIDE via SKYPE or FaceTime - so you can have a music lesson in the privacy of your own home!!
Voice lessons - I have created a unique and wonderful vocal method, "Yoga for the Voice," which combines ancient yoga breathing exercises with special vocal exercises to give you a "complete vocal tune-up." These techniques are simple, effective and easily-learned by any student of the voice, from about age 5-105. I love to help you learn to apply these wonderful techniques to learning the songs you wish to learn - whether they are pop, r 'n' b, folk, singer-songwriter, rock, country, opera, musical theater, jazz, etc. "Yoga for the Voice" is just as effective for professional speakers, such as teachers, lawyers, clergymen or actors - we just use a range of notes that is smaller than a singer's range, and we focus on using your speaking voice as effectively and efficiently as possible.
In 3-6 months, you will be able to:
1. master the "breath of fire" and "one-minute breath" - the BEST yoga breaths for singers!
2. master the "sinus humming exercises" - identifying where EACH note in your range originates in your own head
3. master the "full-body exercises" - traditional singing exercises on "mah, mee, moh, moo, meh" - so that you can move easily between your chest voice, middle voice, and head voice
4. master 2-10 songs or more, depending on your level and the level of difficulty of each song - being able to sing each song in TUNE, with feeling, and having a blast doing it!!
5. if you wish, you can perform your song(s) at one of my voice and piano recitals - on a REAL Austin stage!!
Piano lessons - I teach a wide range of piano styles at levels from beginner to early advanced, beginning around age 5. Whether you want to learn classical, rock, blues, country, boogie-woogie, or other styles of piano and keyboard playing, I will sculpt your lesson plan so that you have a great foundation in technique AND you learn the styles and songs you wish to play.
In 3-6 months, you will be able to:
1. master the Leschetizky, hand massage, and isometric warm-up exercises - the BEST piano warm-ups!
2. depending on your level, master Hanon exercises 1-12, major and minor scales, major and minor arpeggios
3. for beginners, you will be able to play with BOTH hands on the treble and bass clefs - at the same time!!
4. master the I-IV-V progression in 3-12 keys, depending on your level - so that you can play blues, rock, country, boogie-woogie, and ragtime songs!!
5. master 4-20 songs or more, depending on your level and the level of difficulty of each song (classical songs tend to take more time to master) - being able to play each song with great technique, with feeling, and having a blast doing it!!
6. if you wish, you can perform your song(s) at one of my voice and piano recitals - on a REAL Austin stage!!
Songwriting lessons - I will teach you how to create a great song, in the style you wish to write in. Country songs, pop songs, rock tunes, r'n' b, folk, etc. - all of these genres have "unwritten rules" about how to put together an effective song. We will utilize special songwriting exercises and tools to help you learn to be a wonderful songwriter.
DJ lessons - I teach beat matching, turntable fine-tuning and repertoire selection to help you become the DJ you aspire to be. I own crates and crates of vinyl records and CDs, and I have DJ'd all over the world to enthusiastic crowds, so I can teach you to attain a real joy and skill in the art of turntablism.
Yoga lessons - I am a fully KRI-certified yoga teacher and I can help you develop a valuable yoga routine to help you achieve your health and relaxation goals. We will choose from literally hundreds of exercises and breathing techniques specifically geared to your needs and wants.

About David L.Close
I've played piano most of my musical life. I took regular lessons throughout high school and college. I take slightly different approaches in teaching piano, depending on the student's age. Most importantly tough, I try to get students familiar with or reading music as soon as possible.
Intermediate piano students of mine become fluent in all major and a few minor keys, plus they meet regular goals through the use of method books. I've even taught students how to accompany other instruments and play in ensembles.
About David
I teach guitar, piano, bass guitar and even upright bass. If it's a tutor you are looking for I can also teach music theory and appreciation. I have a knack for teaching young people, probably because I was young when I started my musical journey. I've been very successful at inspiring a student's love of music and instilling the patience required to take on the challenge of playing an instrument.
The first thing I like to do is get to know you, the music you enjoy and your goals. In a way, I l
In addition to learning from you, I intend to present you with new information, to try and broaden your musical tastes and teach you how to be an active listener.

About Sean M.Close
I'm a NYC based actor/musician currently living in Austin, TX, with over 20 years of playing experience. I specialize in jazz piano and rockabilly styles, and have trained with two Grammy winning pianists, Hank Hehmsoth, and "Asleep at the Wheel's" pianist (and Austin Legend) Floyd Domino. I also have a minor in Jazz Studies from Texas State University.
My most recent work was on the Broadway tour "Million Dollar Quartet" which played in over 80 cities in the United States, where I played rock and roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis.
I like to focus on the needs of each individual student (rather than any one single method), and I've found that theory building drills applied directly to a song or goal have had stellar results in the past. When an individual can have fun while gaining a sense of accomplishment, it creates a better environment for memorization, and the willingness to continue.
Let me show you what I know!

[Intro: Big Baby Gandhi]
Uh, Baby, turn my voice down
No one should hear the words that I'm saying
Turn my voice down
Uh, baby, feel me
[Verse 1: Big Baby Gandhi]
Terrorist with no turban, lyricist with no sermon
My man Herman said your whole team herbs, man
My man Victor said all of y'all dick suck
I said yeah I know that's why they always got they lips pucked
Disgust, every time I spit stuff
Titty ass shit cunt please lick nuts
The spliff, the dutch, spiff in the strut
666 across the gut, bitch what
Liquid swords in my veins, call me GZA
Digi in the desk drawer, dude, call me RZA
Slice open your face, call me scissor
Sipping on the sizzurp, sitting with your sister
Sounded like a young Jay, sounded like a young Nas
Y'all sound like old Jay, y'all sound like old Nas
Y'all sound like Coldplay
Y'all sound like Oprah
Me I sound so dope, brah, money out the chocha
Bet you wish you was hot, don't cha?
Do it for my culture, fuck a vulture
[Verse 2: Heems]
Like oh Lord this racism is killing me
Wherever I am feel like TSA grilling me
Greedhead my corporation limited liability
But they gon' bust me if they open the delivery
Where we from there is no one to look up to
Two words: phone cards, don't care, fuck you
Big Baby Gandhi, 21-year-old phenom
He bomb, now he on, Nafis Bin Islam
That mean he on the streets for this long
This strong Sholay, two brothers two pistols
Hombre, go thataway, no way Jose
BBG told me y'all sound like Coldplay
Oye loca, he said y'all sound like Oprah
Speaking Hindi eating bhindi, family that's okra
Me I'm burning doja at the Double Dragon dojo
On an Aztec island on Lake Texcoco
I'm like Moctezuma, mixed with early Luda
Half Zab Judah, half Heart - Barracuda
Suing Sarah Palin reading Stalin looking fancy
Rooh azfah and mango pulp, plenty in the pantry
Heart is a wonderful band, with ladies
Himanshu is a wonderful man, but he crazy
Stop emailing me let me breathe for a minute
You work so hard just to hit certain digits
Got a number in my head, hit it then I'll finish
Money is evil but I like what I can buy with it
Yo yo yo, but that's how they getcha
If they got the chance for a dollar they would wet 'cha
Are we the best? Well golly, you betcha
Big Baby Gandhi plus Herman and Hector
[Verse 3: Kool A.D.]
Verbal mathematic, the Kool universal
My data global, my plan ancient
My man made lake, my sixteens triple lutz, y'all suck
Armpits, I shoot guns at suns that move
I smoke weed, drink water, watch TV, a regular dude
Shout to Young Honest
My verbal ebonics low in demonics and trans fats
Paragraphical, the kid actual
Wouldn't fuck with half of you
Other half, maybe for a stack or two
For Baby I'll do a track or two on spec
See me on bars on deck in Italian swim trunks, the kid drunk
Lenny Kravitz, Blue Magic, too tragic
You had it, you lost it, the dude flossing
You tossing salads, your crew lost on average
Chupa me cabbages, you not be rappers
It's not your average
Kool the Damaja, you the school janitor
But with no keys, though
Stand on the side, free throw
Y'all know how we go, amigo
This shit is so ill but your mind is not ready, you don't know
You better ask somebody if nah nah nah nah nah, here we go
This shit is so ill but your mind is not ready, I don't know
You better ask somebody if you gettin' that cheddy
A here we go
The second track off of BBG's second mixtape NO12LOOKUP2. This is also his best known song.

This season and R.A. Dickey notwithstanding, to be a Mets fan is, more often than not, to invite sadness, disappointment, and burning frustration into your daily life. Some writers at Refinery29 have experience of this first hand — ahem. But no matter where the Amazin's wind up at the end of this year, at least their fans can look good as they cheer their team on or cry into their beers. The CFDA has drafted some of our favorite menswear designers to whip up on-trend fan gear for this summer — and oh what a starting lineup they've scouted out. Billy Reid, Shipley & Halmos, Yigal Azrouël, and Loomstate have all pitched in with tees, tops, and hoodies you can wear to Citi Field and to your neighborhood hotspot (a rare feat, that.) They're all available for a very limited time at Citi Field and on Edition01.com. This season is suddenly looking very good (provided the Mets bullpen can just hold together through September.)

Four-Star Resort and Spa with Golf and Water Park
From the summit of The Mountain Top—Grand Geneva Resort & Spa's onsite ski hill—you can get a panoramic view of the resort's sprawling 1,300-acre property. Located 3 miles from the shores of Geneva Lake, the AAA four-diamond resort is like multiple resorts rolled into one superresort; it has two championship golf courses and an indoor water park (passes may be purchased but are not included).
There are plenty of onsite activities in the fall and winter. You can relax in the indoor and outdoor hot tubs at Timber Ridge Lodge & Waterpark, a sprawling facility with a lazy river and twisting water slides. There's also an indoor sports complex at the resort that features a 35-foot rock-climbing wall and tennis courts.
While the weather is still warm, take advantage of Grand Geneva's two award-winning golf courses. The Brute challenges even the most accomplished players, whereas the Jack Nicklaus–designed Highlands course accommodates higher handicaps.
During downtime, you can relax in a deluxe courtside or lakeside room or a junior suite in the resort's ranch-style lodge, which was inspired by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The onsite restaurants cater to a wide variety of tastes, from the signature filet medallions at Geneva ChopHouse to handmade pasta with lobster from Ristoranté Brissago. Two cafés and a pair of bars and grills offer casual dining.
Lake Geneva, Wisconsin: Lakeside Mansions and Historical Museums
Located within 90 miles of Chicago, Milwaukee, and Madison, Lake Geneva has become one of the Midwest's most popular destinations for recreation. Geneva Lake⎯a gaping gulf of fresh water ripe for swimming, leisurely sails, water skiing, and tubing⎯is the resort town's biggest draw in the summer. Admire the scenery by taking a stroll on the Geneva Lake Shore Path, a 21-mile walkway planned by early settlers that stretches around the entire lake. Along the way, you'll pass expansive gardens and the opulent estates that helped the town earn the nickname "Newport of the West."
In the winter, outdoor activities range from sledding and snowshoeing in Big Foot Beach State Park to ice-fishing on Geneva Lake. There's also plenty to do indoors. The Geneva Lake Museum takes visitors back in time with re-created late 19th- and early 20th-century shops, and the 1897-era Yerkes Observatory is home to the world's largest refracting telescope.

Logo Cold Shoulder Top is rated out of 5 by 3.
Rated 5 out of 5 by bebesportfan10 from logo cold shoulder top I love Bebe & thought that when they done away with bebe sport that was almost as a collosal mistake as new coke was way back when. The logo cold shoulder top is great, fits wonderful, true to size. Mine had a tiny hole under the armpit, but didn't want to go thru the hassle of returning it. I also ordered it in electric blue, BUT... when I received it, it was more of a deep ocean blue, NOT the vibrant neon electric that is shown, this could be due to my computers screen resolution and not any intentional deceiving by Bebe.

Rated 3 out of 5 by BebeDiva from Runs Small Afraid I have to return this product. I runs really really small. I am large busted but a large will always fit me and sometimes even a medium depending on the top. So the med/lg in this is so small I am either sending it back or giving to my 13 year old granddaughter. It will fit her she is skinny and not endowed. If you have any kind of bust order up... oh wait there is no where up to go LOL.

While the PS3 and the Xbox 360 both have their share of exclusive titles, the majority of the big games on the market are meant to be played on either system. After all, games these days cost a lot of money to make, and unlike a Hollywood movie, where inspiration and dedication can elevate a low-budget film into the same ballpark as the big releases, in video games, there is always a minimum amount of cash that needs to be spent to produce a playable game. It is much harder to cut corners with video games and still have them impress people. So to recoup the costs of the top games, most developers stay out of the battle between consoles and develop for everyone.
Below is our list of the top 10 games on the market for both Sony's PlayStation 3 and Microsoft's Xbox 360. If you are considering purchasing a system for yourself, here is a starter guide for games you should check out.
Also check out our picks for the best exclusive titles for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Assassin's Creed II(Rated M; $29.98)
Assassin's Creed II is one of the most ambitious titles ever created. Rather than set the story in the future, a fantasy reality, or yet another World War II setting, the Assassin's Creed series thrives on using historical settings to integrate fact and fiction. The first game in the series was set during the 1191 AD, during the time of the third crusade, and despite a compelling story and phenomenal gameplay, a repetitive series of missions doomed it to average. Assassin's Creed II not only fixed the problems of the original, it excelled far beyond expectations and offered gamers a masterpiece.
Set in Renaissance Italy at the end of the 15th century, you play Ezio Auditore da Firenze, a young nobleman of Florence. Ezio's family is killed, beginning a decade long search for revenge, which intertwines with several historical figures. Watching Ezio go from a carefree boy to a weary and isolated assassin is compelling enough to make it worth the purchase, but mix in the open world of multiple Italian cities, the huge number of side quests, and some of the best gameplay around, and Assassin's Creed II is one of the best games to be released on this generation of consoles. The first game is not necessary to complete in order to follow the story, and the recently released sequel, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, requires you to play ACII first, so this is the Assassin's Creed title to buy.
Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition 3D(Rated T; $29.98)
For some odd reason, video game adaptations of comic book heroes rarely seem to live up to their potential. Many of the games out there that are based on comic books are good, but few are ever anything more than that. Batman: Arkham Asylum is an exception to that rule, and one of the best games currently out right now.
A must-have for fans of Batman, Arkaham Asylum offers a solid third-person action game for everyone, but the Game of the Year Edition pushes it over the edge and makes for a title that would be a good gift for anyone. The special edition comes with a handful of additional challenges to test your skill with, but more importantly, both the 360 version and the PS3 version are in 3D. Not 3D that requires you to own a 3D TV, but good ole' fashioned 3D that comes with a pair of goofy glasses. On another game it would be a gimmick, and it still is on Arkham Asylum, but since the game is amazing anyway, the 3D is a welcome addition.
Battlefield Bad Company 2 Ultimate Edition(Rated M; $59.99)
While the single-player campaign for this game is solid, albeit unremarkable, the multiplayer online side offers a welcome respite for players that enjoy first-person shooters, but are either sick of the more aggressive titles like Call of Duty and Halo, or are just looking for something fresh and original. BFBC2 offers a military shooter, set in the current day. The graphics look solid, and the destructible environments make the technical features of the game top notch.
If you are looking for a gift to give a gamer that does not enjoy playing online, there are other options better suited for that player. If online gaming is an important feature to them, then the mission-based objectives, huge online maps and downloadable packs – including a brand new one on the way called Vietnam – should be enough to keep them happy for a long, long time.

When the time came for Merriam-Webster to pick its top word of 2011, its editors decided they needed to be pragmatic.
So they chose ... pragmatic.
The word, an adjective that means practical and logical, was looked up so often on Merriam-Webster's online dictionary that the publisher says "pragmatic" was the pragmatic choice for its 2011 Word of the Year.
Though it wasn't traced to a specific news event or quote from a famous person, searches for "pragmatic" jumped in the weeks before Congress voted in August to increase the nation's debt ceiling, and again as its supercommittee tried to craft deficit-cutting measures this fall.
"Pragmatic" may have sparked dictionary users' interest both because they'd heard it in conversations, and because it captures the current American mood of encouraging practicality over frivolity, said John Morse, president and publisher of Springfield, Mass.-based Merriam-Webster.
"'Pragmatic' is a word that describes a kind of quality that people value in themselves but also look for in others, and look for in policymakers and the activities of people around them," Morse said.
A new feature on Merriam-Webster's site allows users to tell the dictionary publisher why they sought that specific word, and the feedback from those who looked up "pragmatic" was that they wanted to reaffirm that the connotation was positive.
"People have a general sense of what the word meant and in fact had even been using it, but then they had a moment when they thought to themselves, 'Perhaps I ought to look up that word and make sure it means what I think it means,'" Morse said.
Merriam-Webster has been picking its annual top choice since 2003. Previous winners include: austerity (2010), admonish (2009) and bailout (2008).
"Austerity" also made the top 10 list in 2011 along with ambivalence, insidious, didactic, diversity, capitalism, socialism, vitriol and "aprÈs moi le deluge."
That quote, attributed to King Louis XV of France, translates to, "After me, the flood," and was used by columnist David Gergen in a piece about the Congressional supercommittee's failure to reach a deficit-cutting deal.
Merriam-Webster says it's generally used to allude to people who behave as if they don't care about the future, since "the flood" will happen after they're gone.
Morse and Peter Sokolowski, Merriam-Webster's editor at large, said they would not have been surprised if some people had expected "occupy" to be the 2011 Word of the Year because of the interest raised by Occupy Wall Street protests and similar encampments.
Though it was used a lot in conversation, "occupy" did not prompt an unusual number of searches.
"It's like the dog that doesn't bark. 'Occupy' or 'recession' or 'entitlement' are words you see pop up occasionally in the daily log of lookups, but not in the yearly log," Sokolowski said.
"Occupy" still has a chance to grab a spot in the linguistic limelight, though, because it's being considered among the front-runners for the American Dialect Society's 2011 Word of the Year.
That group's annual choice isn't driven by dictionary lookups, but is a word or phrase that members consider widely used, demonstrably new or popular and reflects the year's popular discourse — similar, in a sense, to Time's selection of Person of the Year. The magazine chose "the protester" as its person of the year for 2011.
The American Dialect Society will announce its selection Jan. 6 after a vote at its annual convention in Portland, Ore., and the group's executive secretary, Allan Metcalf, says "occupy" is getting a lot of buzz.
But so is "Tebow time," a concept that alludes to Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow's ability to rally late-game comebacks — and, in a broader sense, applied to any success or comeback at crunch time.
"Maybe 'Tebow time' might win the Word of the Year in the crunch, but we have two weeks left to go, so who knows what other words might pop up," said Metcalf, who is also an English professor at MacMurray College in Jacksonville, Ill., and author of "OK: The Improbable Story of America's Greatest Word."
Another outlet, the London-based Oxford English Dictionary, also named its 2011 word choice in November: "squeezed middle," a primarily term credited to British Labour Party leader Ed Miliband to describe the financial pinch felt by the middle class in Great Britain.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lolo505 from Sexy boot This is a sexy and very comfortable boot. I always wear a 6 in heels and a 6 1/2 in boots, I purchased a 7 thinking it would fit better. However, they were huge even with thick socks plus I have small calves and they bowed out 1 1/2 inches. I did exchange them for a 6 and so much better around the leg and even still a little roomy I can have a thicker sock which works great because it is cold where I live in the winter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by kimmykat from My new favorite boots! I love these boots. So fashionable. The suede material looks very chic. They are true to Bebe shoe sizing (I wear a size 6 and got these in a 6 and they fit great). They are quite high, but the platform helps even out your foot, and even though the heel is pin thin, it doesn't feel unsteady at all. The ball of the foot is very roomy, so unlike other heeled boots, my toes are really comfortable and do not feel squished. The only thing I will add is get a grippy pad for the bottom of the boot, as the boot slides a bit when I walk on my carpeted floor at home. Also, if you have thin legs, the leg of the boot is not snug to your leg, however, the top does not fall down.

Forrest Horton '08: Award-Winning, Terrorism-Fighting Scientist
Story posted October 28, 2010
Forrest Horton '08 has had a winning year. He recently received a graduate fellowship from the National Science Foundation. This came on the heels of his Global War on Terrorism Civilian Service Medal, earned after spending the summer researching minerals in Afghanistan as part of a geology internship with the U.S. Department of Defense's Task Force for Business and Stability Operations (TFBSO).
The award recognizes "the contributions of the civilian workforce of the Department of Defense in direct support of the armed forces, whose members are engaged in operations to combat terrorism in all forms throughout the world."
With support from the US Marine Corps, Horton helped a TFSBO team collect rock samples and other data at a carbonatite volcano. The information is gathered to better understand what potential may exist for mining products and related jobs.
Horton was presented the award by Emily Scott '04, a Department of Defense civilian also working with the TFBSO. Scott organizes and implements mineral sampling missions throughout Afghanistan.
Horton will begin work toward his Ph.D. in geology shortly after completing his master's degree in geology at San Francisco State.

They want her there between 8-9 am.

I trust him with her and I'm sending him with the pre-op benadryl request and I KNOW he'll report back to me with anything they tell him. He uses this same vet for their giant schnauzer. We'll be picking her up, though.
How long did Mick have to keep his stitches in?
Mick got stitches and staples... the stitches dissolved on their own, I took out the staples myself... maybe ten days later or so?
The incision was very deep and they stitched it from the inside out, then stapled the top... He has a long scar, but most of the fur grew back and unless you know what to look for you can hardly see it.
The actual surgery took about 30-40 minutes, and it was... not for the squeamish.
Don't be surprised if the incision is big... they usually remove some of the healthy tissue as well, to make sure that they get "everything".
I'm glad you have a good vet whom you trust, and that Ella is in capable hands!
I will be sending TONS of good thoughts her way.

Ben Affleck had to fire an actor on the set of his acclaimed new movie Argo after he opted to portray a stereotypical Iranian villain in a pivotal, tense scene.
The film's director/star cast the Persian actors who appear in the drama on the basis they could speak Farsi - but when one came to shoot his speaking part it quickly became clear he could only act like he knew the language.
The movie star insisted on authentic Farsi for tense scenes in the film, which is set in Iran during the country's revolution in 1979 and 1980.
He tells The Hollywood Reporter, "This movie was the only time I really fired people, but I had to do it. I had all these Persian actors who were supposed to speak Farsi. And often they would audition in English and I would say, 'You can speak Farsi, right?' 'Oh, yes, yes.'
"A guy came in for a really crucial part, and on the day of shooting, we were blocking the scene, and this guy's got this mini speech. And the guy did it, and it was just terrible. He was sort of like, you know, twisting the moustache and being the (stereotypical) Iranian villain and having the accent and adding all these flourishes.
"A couple (of) times I said, 'Just do nothing and say your lines. Let's try that.' And just previous to that, there was this guy who had a little bit in the movie. But it was so nice. And then when this other guy was blowing it - and not just blowing it, but hamming it up - it made it easy to say, 'No, you know, you're trying to ruin my movie'."
But Affleck hopes it's the one and only time he'll have to fire an actor - because he remembers how it felt to fear being axed from a movie early in his career.
He adds, "It's the worst thing in the world because I know, as an actor, what it's like. I was a child actor, and the director threatened to fire me. That traumatised me. I was 13 years old. And I went around in fear of being fired."

Gabriel's offers homestyle taste of Italy
Gabriel and Cheriann Ferri celebrate the 1st anniversary of their fabulous Italian restaurant on Nov. 19. 2012.
I'm kicking myself for not dining there sooner, but the Cranston restaurant is now on my list when I get the craving for authentic Italian cuisine at a price I can afford.
Gabe and Cheriann are no strangers to the restaurant business, a tradition that goes back to Gabe's grandfather, father and uncle. The family ran Michael's Family restaurant in Warwick for 22 years, and Gabe and Cheriann ran Soule Café across from Warwick Mall for six years. Cheriann is a graduate of Cranston East, and the family lives in Cranston, three miles from their 39 Phenix Ave. establishment.
"Many of the recipes come from my mother, Marie. My father, for whom we named the restaurant, taught me much about the business," Gabe said. "We have three generations of Gabriel Ferri involved. Our son works here as a bartender."
And so does their daughter, Cara, who doubles as waitress and bartender and knows how to make a perfect dry gin martini. Cara is a student at Rhode Island College, majoring in graphic design. She designed the attractive menu, with a map of Italy on the cover.
The former Tony Pappa's has been converted into a warm, friendly, 40-seat (plus 10 at the bar) restaurant, tastefully decorated by Cheriann.
"We even get complements on the bathrooms," she said.
The food brought me back to my early days, living in an Italian neighborhood in New Haven, where my upstairs landlady cooked "gravy" nearly every day, filling the triple decker with a wonderful aroma.
Marie Ferri uses all fresh ingredients and starts from scratch with her meatballs, lasagna, stuffies and the same sauce that has been Nana Ferri's specialty for over 30 years.
Fresh Italian bread came immediately to the table, accompanied by olive oil and ground red pepper. Appetizers include Italian favorites such as calamari, bruschetta, mozzarella sticks and scungilli salad. (I hadn't heard snails called scungilli in years, and they deserved that title.) Thinly sliced and super tender, they were tossed with Italian dressing, celery, red onion, black olives and banana peppers over a bed of crispy romaine lettuce ($11.95).
Joyce chose to go for the basic pasta with meatballs and sausage, savoring the sauce and saving some for lunch the next day ($12.95).
We noticed a number of orders of veal and chicken parmigian coming out of the kitchen. Cheriann said they are their most popular entrees ($18.95 and $16.95). They would certainly serve as dinner the next day for us.
I couldn't resist the Veal Francaise, real veal in a light egg and grated cheese batter, served in a lemon garlic/white wine sauce, accompanied by pasta (I chose angel hair). I could cut the large portion of veal with my fork and savored every bite ($18.95).
Both of our meals included soup or salad. Joyce chose the chicken escarole and I the pasta fagiole. Joyce, whose love of legumes is limited, loved her and my soup…but I only let her have a spoonful.
There are so many menu items we want to try, especially the Friday night offerings, which include baked fish, Sicilian fish (Smothered in red clam sauce), shrimp and scallop scampi (a great combination that I seldom see on menus), and their popular fish and chips.
"Friday is our busiest night," Gabe said. "Our customers love our stuffies and clam chowder, which are both made from scratch with real fresh clams."
Gabriel's is open from noon to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 10 p.m. on Saturday. Monday hours are 4-9 p.m., and their one day of rest is Sunday.
Specialty sandwiches, grinders, salads are popular luncheon items, in addition to a number of lunch entrees, which are served from noon to 4 p.m. soups.
Gabe knows that "Italian" is much more than spaghetti and lasagna. His lunch entrees include gnocci in pink vodka sauce ($10.95) eggplant parmigiana and pasta ($11.95), which is also a popular dinner dish at $14.95, and polenta with meatball and/or sausage ($10.95).
Gabriel's also does catering and can accommodate small groups. You can order their sauce and soups to go. They are located at 39 Phenix Ave., Cranston. Phone number is 632-4222.

"Did you make those yourself, Monsieur?" one elegantly dressed woman asks a man selling fluffy white goat's cheeses.'
Totally entrancing, Carol, but I dare say that your paintings and pictures are what make this a truly fascinating story!ReplyDelete
I can barely keep up with you. You always have something new and interesting for me to read or try or do. Whew! Your aquarelles are tres belles.
merci Connie
I gotta stay on the ball
Keep up and she has a newer book out this year!

Is this making you wonder if you should be moving to the French countryside instead of Paris?!
Adore these watercolours - just fabulous.
no not at all karen.
I'm a city-urban-pollution-girl
I need exhaust bad
I'm allergic to country air as a rule
Still I did love it here...
Maybe a short visit is doable :)
If you want to try again Provence watercolors, you are more than welcome at my parents in the French Riviera! Indeed, this region has inspired so many artists !ReplyDelete
Oh what an offer :)
maim miam
I came back..it amazes me how your watercolors are better than still/real life~
Carol, this post is so full of beauty and inspiration. Thank you for your generosity in sharing what's motivating you to make a fabulous move.
Yes, the book looks grand, and I may have to get one for myself, but your watercolors are fabulous, each one carries such spirit and that feeling of really being There!
Like Karen, I wonder if straying from Paris might be in your future? On my ancient visit to France, I truly loved the regions beyond Paris (but that might have been down to Parisian price tags.)
I didn't expect this!
These are from my 1st posts at PB in April of 2006
Thank you
Love this post. I do remember those watercolors and they are still wonderful & timely. I am looking for a summer read so will check out this book. Last year I read one you recommended.. a big thick one... and Loved it. Good thing you aren't where they are now giving fines for walking and texting..Wonder if walking and reading would count. LOLReplyDelete
Your paintings are beautiful Carol.ReplyDelete
You did it again. Tempted me into doing somthing I didn't know I wanted. Thanks a lot. Just ordered Tout sweet. I am absolutely sure I will love it. Spend almost all my holidays as a teenager in Carpentras close to Avignong with a French family and their daughter, one of my best friends. Even now we are in contact. You reminded me of the time spent there. Thanks for that too. Greetings from a grey and rainy Germany
The watercolors may be oldies but they are definitely goodies!!!!
Looked up Arts in Provence and what a great place!!!
I love your watercolours...everything about this post works. It really tells the story of the book which now I want to read:)
So funny, because I'm also an urban chick and love the city.. I would die living in the countryside BUT need regular trips to the South of France for recharging my batteries, so off to Nice and Antibes in 10 days:)Hmm, could take that book with me!!
Ha. Just ordered it from Amazon... perfect reading for the Cote d'Azur.
It's the Diamond Jubilee today and it's raining like crazy:(
With your fine recommendation, I just purchased Tout Sweet from Amazon.
Can't wait to read it. xoxo
I remember in your blog about a year ago you mentioned your favorite
castle outside of Paris....not Versailles, not Fountainbleu, but
something else, not quite as well known.
We are going to Paris in September and I would love to go the your castle.
Thank you my
I love your blog and look so forward to it every day. xoxo
Love Patti
make sure to schedule a visit when you can catch their shuttle bus or you could be stranded at the station
taxis barely show up
maybe it's gotten better
Hi Carol,
The more I look at this blog, the more I think I would love for you to do my website header for my first novel.
Please check around my site when you get a chance http://swistography.com/journal/
I am still renovating the site and there is no information about my first novel yet, but I will be updating those things shortly.
I have been a fan of paris breakfast for years. I have been to France too and my character will be going to France in novel 2.
Once I get a better idea we will have to talk.
Thanks for this reading recommendation! It sounds like the perfect book to read after coming home from 2 weeks in Ireland (read all about my adventures on my blog) - you know, now's the time after a vacation when I'm thinking of ditching it all and moving. This book will be the best inspiration!ReplyDelete
Another set of stunning watercolours Carol. Thanks so much, both to you – for a second outing on your wonderful blog – and also to your readers for their lovely comments. I think you've hit on the perfect way to review a book: bite-size extracts (really well chosen by the way), alongside your artwork and photographs. A great combination!
best wishes and bisous a tous,

Title : Survey of IPv4 Addresses in Currently Deployed IETF Security Area Standards Author(s) : P. Nesser II Filename : draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv4survey-sec-01.txt Pages : 0 Date : 2003-7-3 This document seeks to document all usage of IPv4 addresses in currently deployed IETF Security Area documented standards. In order to successfully transition from an all IPv4 Internet to an all IPv6 Internet, many interim steps will be taken. One of these steps is the evolution of current protocols that have IPv4 dependencies. It is hoped that these protocols (and their implementations) will be redesigned to be network address independent, but failing that will at least dually support IPv4 and IPv6. To this end, all Sandards (Full, Draft, and Proposed) as well as Experimental RFCs will be surveyed and any dependencies will be documented.

I'm a systems analyst with far-flung tastes and interests. Ever since high school, I've wanted to learn Latin. For too many years, too many things got in my way. But now I have a good reason to apply myself to the process. My son's school does not offer Latin or Greek and I think it will be a "leg up" for him, no matter what he goes into. So we've downloaded the D'Ooge text and we're going to work on it together.
I certainly appreciate the existence of this website and forum.

By DAVID GREEN
Don't you dare use the phrase "trailer trash" around Phyllis Riviere. In the 25 years she and her husband, Oscar, owned and operated the Fayette Riviera Trailer Court, she met a lot of really nice people.
Sure, there were a few challenging renters over the years—some strange characters and few misbehaving ones—but all in all, Phyllis got to know dozens of good people.
She and Oscar sold the court to Louis and Tommy Clemenson in 1991—two years before Oscar died—and it's now the 40th anniversary of the facility.
The Rivieres moved into the house just to the south of the court in 1946. The next year they rented the surrounding farm, as well, and then one year later they bought both the house and land.
The property included what Phyllis remembers as an old, decrepit orchard with a little bit of everything. Four varieties of apples, a couple varieties of peaches, cherries, plums, even several grape arbors. Only a tree or two remain.
Eventually Oscar's parents decided to build a home to the north. Blueprints were ordered from Ohio Farmer magazine for a dollar.
The Rivieres' oldest daughter wanted to purchase a lot between the two houses, and when she married, she and her husband moved a mobile home onto the property.
"That's where I got the idea," Phyllis said.
Her husband was hesitant about the plan to open a mobile home court, but Phyllis moved forward. She spoke with the owners of courts in Delta and Wauseon and came up with some figures to present to banker Ed Davenport. He approved the loan.
Curtis Keefer handled the construction, putting in a road and sidewalks, and making concrete runners to support the wheels for 14 mobile homes.
The first contract was signed by Miss Mildred Crook on Aug. 19, 1966, and Riviera Mobile Court was a reality.
The Rivieres later moved into Oscar's parents' house and that's where Phyllis still lives.
"We had some good times," Phyllis said. "I remember the Halloween parties where we would go around collecting wood for a bonfire. We'd have hot dogs, cider and hot chocolate.
"I remember the first death here and the first birth," she said.
She and Oscar got to know a lot of the tenants quite well, from the eccentric woman who talked about the danger of "tired electricity" to the two trouble-maker boys that were handled with some tough talk by Phyllis.
"You go on and tell your dad you have to move out of here," I told them. "You can't stay off other people's property. Now go on!"
They family stayed, but Phyllis never had a problem with them after that.
At one time there were 11 children for the school bus to pick up; other years there were none.
To her recollection, only one trailer was ever blown over in a windstorm—the owners had failed to fasten it down—and only one fire, from an exploding fuse box after too many appliances were operated at once.
"There was quite a buzz around town when word got around that we broke ground," Phyllis said, "but there were times when we wondered if we were doing the right thing."
When times were tough, Oscar would tell her, "It's your fault. It was your idea."
And in better times, when someone talked about the court, he would go on about how it was vacant land just sitting there waiting for a good use.
Phyllis's idea was to create the trailer court as a source of retirement income. The idea worked well, she said.
"We had a lot of different people, and we had a lot of nice people. It was quite an experience."
Besides that notion of "trailer trash" that annoys Phyllis, there's one other stereotype of mobile home dwellers that doesn't sit well with her: the idea that they're itinerant families always on the move.
At the Riviera court, one couple who signed a lease in 1966 still lives there today.– September 20, 2006

Jar Jar Binks
A clumsy, well-meaning Gungan outcast on Naboo, Jar Jar Binks struggled to prove his worth throughout his life. Putting his awkward past behind him, Jar Jar left the swamps of Naboo to enter the even murkier waters of Coruscant politics, becoming a representative for his people in the galactic capital. There, his best intentions and eagerness to serve were exploited by scheming Senators and others in positions of power.
- Male,
- Height: 1.96m ,
- Energy Ball (Booma),
- Electropole,
Soundboard //
When Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi first met Jar Jar Binks, the Gungan had been exiled from his home city of Otoh Gunga for his repeated clumsiness. Qui-Gon sensed their meeting was the will of the Force, and took the Gungan outcast with them to Tatooine and Coruscant. Qui-Gon was right: Jar Jar would prove an exasperating but important bridge between Naboo's human settlers and their Gungan neighbors.
When Padmé Amidala became Naboo's senator, Jar Jar assisted her as representative. In her absence, the Gungan introduced the motion for the Senate to grant Chancellor Palpatine emergency powers in the struggle against the Separatists. Jar Jar meant well, but the measure he introduced would plunge the galaxy into the Clone Wars and help Palpatine amass enormous power.

The Gungans are the native inhabitants of the planet Naboo, an amphibious species with hardy lungs capable of holding breath for extended periods. Their skeletal structure is extremely flexible, as it is made of cartilaginous material rather than hard bone. The long Gungan face has a tough yet flexible bill for burrowing and rooting out food. They have long muscular tongues with which they scoop mollusks and lesser amphibians from the Naboo swamps. While most spacefarers would dismiss Gungans as primitives, they have developed an advanced technology.
An idyllic world close to the border of the Outer Rim Territories, Naboo is inhabited by peaceful humans known as the Naboo, and an indigenous species of intelligent amphibians called the Gungans. Naboo's surface consists of swampy lakes, rolling plains and green hills. Its population centers are beautiful -- Naboo's river cities are filled with classical architecture and greenery, while the underwater Gungan settlements are a beautiful display of exotic hydrostatic bubble technology.
Padmé Amidala
Qui-Gon Jinn
A venerable if maverick Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn was a student of the living Force. Qui-Gon lived for the moment, espousing a philosophy of "feel, don't think -- use your instincts." On Tatooine, Qui-Gon discovered a young slave boy named Anakin Skywalker who was strong in the Force. Sensing the boy's potential, Qui-Gon liberated Anakin from slavery. The Jedi Master presented Anakin to the Jedi Council, but they deemed the boy too old to begin training and dangerously full of fear and anger. They refused to allow Qui-Gon to train Anakin, but rescinded their decision to fulfill Qui-Gon's dying wish.
Anakin Skywalker
Discovered as a slave on Tatooine by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker had the potential to become one of the most powerful Jedi ever, and was believed by some to be the prophesied Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force. A hero of the Clone Wars, Anakin was caring and compassionate, but also had a fear of loss that would prove to be his downfall.
Otoh Gunga
Beneath the surface of Lake Paonga on Naboo is a spectacular Gungan city. A crowning achievement of unique Gungan technology, the city appears as a glittering cluster of jewel-like bubbles. The bubbles are hydrostatic force-fields that contain breathable atmospheres for the city's inhabitants. Though they are rigid enough to keep the water out, they can be breached by Gungans swimming to and from the city. The architecture of Otoh Gunga is sweeping in shape because Gungans actually grow the building material of their cities. Inside Otoh Gunga is the High Board Room of the Gungan Rep Council.

Responding to reports of the death of Osama bin Laden on May 2, the Vatican spokesperson, Federico Lombardi, S.J., released a brief statement: "Osama bin Laden…bore the most serious responsibility for spreading divisions and hatred among populations, causing the deaths of innumerable people and manipulating religions to this end.
"In the face of a man's death, a Christian never rejoices," Father Lombardi said, "but reflects on the serious responsibilities of each person before God and before men, and hopes and works so that every event may be the occasion for the further growth of peace and not of hatred."
Formal reaction around the Christian world to the death of Bin Laden generally followed the somber tone set by the Vatican statement. In Pakistan, where Bin Laden was killed after U.S. forces raided his compound on May 1, Christian schools and other institutions were closed and churches put on extra security. Paul Bhatti, a government adviser for religious minorities, said, "The situation is tense."
"We are a soft target, as they cannot attack America," said Lawrence Saldanha, archbishop emeritus of Lahore. Despite that short-term risk, Archbishop Saldanha hoped that the killing of the world's most wanted terrorist would reduce the militancy that has engulfed Pakistan in recent years. "Many looked on Bin Laden as a hero of the Islamic revolution," he said. "But he was a role model of extremism and a threat to world peace. His death will change the complexion and decentralize as well as demystify extremism."
The Rev. Akram Javed Gill, who since 2007 has been in charge of St. Peter Canisius Catholic Church in Abbottabad, the gateway city to the northern mountainous region where Bin Laden was killed and about 150 Catholics live, witnessed the raid. "We never saw helicopters flying so low," he said. "Nobody knew what was going on, and we thought it was a military exercise at first." In the aftermath of the attack, Father Gill said heightened security halted his normal pastoral routine.
In the United States, representing the New Evangelical Partnership for the Common Good, David Gushee reacted to images of spontaneous celebration around the country after reports of Bin Laden's death first surfaced. He cited Proverbs 24:17: "Do not rejoice when your enemies fall, and do not let your heart be glad when they stumble."
He said, "A nation has a right to defend itself…but as Christians, we believe that there can no celebrating, no dancing in the streets, no joy, in relation to the death of Osama bin Laden."
Mr. Gushee said, "War and all of its killing reflects the brokenness of our world. That is the proper spirit with which to greet this news." He suggested that Bin Laden's death offered an opportunity for Americans to "turn away from the rising disrespect toward Muslims" and reconsider questionable moves the United States has made "in the name of the war on terror." These include, he said, indefinite detentions at Guantánamo Bay and the failure to investigate interrogation practices, the increase in Predator drone attacks in Pakistan "and the expansion rather than ending of the 10-year-old war in Afghanistan."
Gushee called for a national reflection on how broader military and foreign policies—U.S. posture on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, for example, and global military interventions—"create a steady supply of new enemies."

For many tourists New Orleans is only the French Quarter. But there is more to this city than just the jazz, food, and night clubs. The Cajun Encounters City Tour takes you around the city in a 33 passenger climate controlled mini bus with the driver as your tour guide. The three hour tour takes visitors to major neighborhoods in the city and discusses local history and present challenges. The devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 is an ongoing theme.
Our tour began in the French Quarter. Debbie, our driver and guide, is a fourth generation New Orleans resident who had a lot of information to share and answers to our questions. She told us that the French founded the city in 1718 and it was to be used as a fort along the Mississippi River. Canal Street was initially the boundary between the French and the British or American populations which lived on the other side.
We drove by or through many of the major attractions in the quarter including Jackson Square and Café Du Monde. Jackson Square, is a historic park in the French Quarter. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1960. We also learned about the New Orleans Aquarium and Insectarium where you can get insect dishes such as cricket crepes.
Many of the New Orleans residents are of African or Caribbean origins. We drove by many of their brightly colored homes. These provided great contrast to the muted colors of homes in the American sector.
We visited the Ninth Ward where we saw first hand the damage from Hurricane Katrina and the progress made since that devastating disaster. Many homes are still in the process of being torn down and vacant lots remain. But progress is being made as people return and rebuild their homes with aid from government agencies.
Musicians' Village was conceived by Harry Connick Jr to house musicians and help keep them in the city. Residents help pay for their new homes by pledging 350 hours of community work.
Brad Pitt in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity founded Make It Right which helps to provide new homes equipped with solar panels. He has finished 83 homes so far. The government's Rode Home Program has helped in the construction.
Burial in New Orleans is a problem. If you dig down six feet in most areas, you hit water. Therefore the concept of above ground burial is desirable. We visited the St Louis Cemetery where we saw a wide variety of above ground burial tombs. Most consisted of family tombs. Debbie told us that space problems in the tomb are solved by compressing the corpse after it has been in the tomb for one year and one day.
We drove into City Park and saw the great Live Oak trees and general beauty. Also had a quick stop with time for some Morning Call coffee.
The Garden District is often referred to as the American Sector. It consists of many ante bellum mansions and is where many of the rich and famous of New Orleans live. St Charles Street runs through the quarter and is the route of America's oldest street car line which started in 1835.
Our tour ended with a drive through the Warehouse District. This area is now home to several museums including the World War II Museum and Contemporary Arts Center. It might best be called the museum district now.
This Cajun Encounters Tour is a great way to learn a lot about New Orleans in just three hours. Debbie was knowledgeable and added to the experience. The small bus was a plus. Cajun Encounters also runs a tour of the Honey Island Swamp and a plantation tour. For more information contact Cajun Encounters.

Stabbing in Manchester's Bass Island Park investigated
June 27. 2014 9:10AM
MANCHESTER — A 60-year-old man was stabbed in the stomach Thursday night while at Bass Island Park.
Police said Benjamin Galucki of Bedford was pumping gas at the Main Street Gulf station about 11 p.m. when he saw two men walking toward him. One of them, the 60-year-old injured man who has no fixed address, was holding the right side of his stomach.
Police said the man was suffering from a superficial stab wound to his abdomen.
Galucki called police, but the victim's unidentified friend left the scene before police arrived.
The man told police a 5-foot-6 white man wearing a black T-shirt stabbed him near Bass Island Park. His assailant fled on a bicycle, heading south on Second Street, he said.
He told police his attacker, who he did not know, asked him for change. The two had "words" and, the man said, without warning the other man stabbed him in the stomach.
Police said the injured man was less than cooperative with them, so it is unclear if the incident occurred the way it was depicted.
The incident is under investigation by police detectives.

Young Kids With Asthma May Lag in Reading Skills
Young children who start school with asthma may lag behind their peers in developing reading skills, a new study suggests.
The findings, according to researchers, do not prove that asthma per se is the reason for the gap. But they say it is possible that the lung disease affects young children's ability to keep up with their peers when it comes to reading.
The study followed 298 New Zealand children through their first year of school. Just over half of the children with asthma had fallen at least six months behind their peers in reading achievement at the end of the year. That compared with a little more than one-third of children without asthma.
The researchers looked at a number of factors that could explain the gap — including the possibility that children with asthma were more likely to be from low-income families, have "poor readiness" for reading or have higher absence rates.
But that was not the case, according to findings published in the medical journal Chest.
"We think our findings suggest that asthma and early reading achievement are linked in some way, which is as yet not explained," lead researcher Dr. Kathleen A. Liberty, of the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand, told Reuters Health in an e-mail.
She said she and her colleagues could only speculate on the potential reasons. But one possibility is that breathing problems come into play.
In New Zealand, Liberty noted, children in their first year of school do very little "silent" reading and instead say words and sentences out loud.
"It appears possible that children with asthma may have difficulties controlling their breathing, or learning to control their breathing while reading aloud — which is a part of the reading process that apparently has had little research," Liberty explained.
In contrast, children's early experience with math involves things like writing numbers or matching numbers to pictures of objects. And in this study, children with asthma were not at increased risk of being behind in math ability.
The findings are based on children whose reading and math ability were tested when they entered school and one year later. (In New Zealand, children start first grade when they are 5 years old.)
Just over 18 percent of the children had asthma when they started school. At the end of the year, 51 percent of those children were at least six months behind in reading words, and 55 percent lagged in reading sentences. That compared with 33 percent and 38 percent of children without asthma.
Exactly how asthma might affect children's longer-term school performance is not clear. Liberty said she and her colleagues are continuing to follow the children in this study to find out more about their school achievement.
For now, she suggested that parents of children with asthma be aware that their kids might have difficulty with reading, and then do what's recommended for all parents — support their children's learning.
That includes reading with them at home and communicating with teachers and schools. Schools may offer additional help for children struggling with reading or other skills, Liberty noted.
Another question is whether getting young children's asthma under good control might blunt any negative effects on reading achievement.
Liberty's team did account for the children's asthma severity at the start of the study — which is an indicator of how well their treatment is working. But she said it's possible that their asthma severity changed during the course of the school year.
Further research, Liberty said, might help show whether asthma control has an impact.
