The Choice Classroom
Choice. Urban slang; originally spoken in New Zealand, is used as a pun at the way New Zealanders speak. Used as description of something you think is good. Synonyms: radical, wicked, awesome, brilliant, best-thing-ever.
It describes a classroom that I want to be a part of. But more than the above description, choice also means the enabling of being able to choose between two or more options. This is my classroom.
What choice means in the classroom
Choice is valuing students as individuals.
Choice is students working independently at their own level, at their own pace.
Choice is students working on what they want to work on.
Choice is motivating. Choice is engaging. Choice is inspiring.
Students who can choose their activity, the way they present their work, the time or place that they do their work, and even their consequence or behaviour management, become much more learning oriented purely because they have control over it. Powerlessness is the leading cause of burn-out, and not having control is key to this feeling of powerlessness. In regards to being able to choose their learning, what they do when, and how they present it, means that students have an investment to the learning ahead of them and are automatically motivated because the choice has been theirs. Even with choosing consequences or behaviour management, students become more self-disciplined as they have been able to have an active part of the process.
A very interesting article looks into the issues surrounding choice in the classroom. 'Choices for Children: Why and how to let students decide' says "At least one recent study has found that children given more "opportunity to participate in decisions about schoolwork" score higher on standardized tests; other research shows that they are more likely than those deprived of autonomy to continue working even on relatively uninteresting tasks. There is no question about it: even if our only criterion is academic performance, choice works."
How choice works in the classroom
Firstly, this is an almost inexhaustible list of ways you can use choice in your classroom. This certainly isn't anything major, but there are some examples that follow that I use in my classroom. They work, and I can vouch for them with my given experience.
The first hurdle is doing it. You have to make a conscious decision, or choice, to include it in your classroom.
Then begin introducing choice in the following ways:
Presentation is one of the easiest ways to allow students to have choice in the classroom. Instead of saying "Make a poster" for the latest bit of topical research, say "Make a poster, or a power point presentation". Students will make the choice based on their strengths, though many will choose the slideshow option because of the allure of technology. Additional choices could include a class speech, a short video, a diorama, a 3D model, a hanging mobile, a book, a pamphlet, or a webpage.
No, not naughts and crosses. Tic-Tac-Toe are nine related activities that require the use of different skills or intelligences. Students choose three activities in a row in order to complete the task. I used these to good effect as a reading follow up task, where students would choose activities as a follow up to the text that they read with me. A good Tic-Tac-Toe will have three different activities in each three-in-a-row possibility. One might include an aspect of drawing, one an aspect of writing, and a third might include a worksheet.
Daily 5
The game changer for me when it came to choice was initiating Daily 5 in my classroom. Daily 5 allows students to choose the activity they work on, selecting from the five options of read to self, read to someone, listen to reading, work on writing, and word work. These each have rules and guidelines decided on by the class, and so rather than students being put in a group, read a set book, do a follow-up worksheet as a daily rotation, students have these five literacy activities that they get to choose from. Essentially, rather than have a group rotation of activities, students choose from the activities based on what they want to do at the time. Rather than students doing a worksheet they don't want to do, they might choose to do some word work where they practise their spelling words. Or rather than being forced to read with the teacher, they might choose to read to someone instead. What this means is individualised learning, where the teacher can conference with students during the time, and students are motivated because they are choosing their learning.
Inquiry Learning
One of the big pushes in education over the last 3 years has been the idea of 'Inquiry', where students learn what they want to learn about. Inquiry essentially replaces what used to be called 'Topic'. Topic was teacher decided, with learning activities and experiences made up and put into the unit plan to scaffold students to a set destination. Using Inquiry changes all that to the students. While curriculum areas still need to be covered, a 'big idea' is come up with by the teacher, syndicate, or school, sometimes with student input, and then the rest is left up to the students, especially in regards to what they want to find out about the big idea, and how they want to go about finding it out, and what they're going to do with their new found knowledge. Completely student focussed. Completely student motivated.
So that's how you start. The options are limitless. The choices endless.
What a choice classroom!

|Summary, etc.:
The thrilling adventure of Lady Trent continues in Marie Brennan's Tropic of Serpents . . . Attentive readers of Lady Trent's earlier memoir, A Natural History of Dragons, are already familiar with how a bookish and determined young woman named Isabella first set out on the historic course that would one day lead her to becoming the world's premier dragon naturalist. Now, in this remarkably candid second volume, Lady Trent looks back at the next stage of her illustrious (and occasionally scandalous) career. Three years after her fateful journeys through the forbidding mountains of Vystrana, Mrs. Camherst defies family and convention to embark on an expedition to the war-torn continent of Eriga, home of such exotic draconian species as the grass-dwelling snakes of the savannah, arboreal tree snakes, and, most elusive of all, the legendary swamp-wyrms of the tropics. The expedition is not an easy one. Accompanied by both an old associate and a runaway heiress, Isabella must brave oppressive heat, merciless fevers, palace intrigues, gossip, and other hazards in order to satisfy her boundless fascination with all things draconian, even if it means venturing deep into the forbidden jungle known as the Green Hell . . . where her courage, resourcefulness, and scientific curiosity will be tested as never before.

(April of last year)
In 1864, Gregor Mendel published a study revealing the results of an experiment that used ________ to determine the principles of genetics.
A. Pisum sativum
B. Garden peas
C. Legumes
D. All of the above
I rolled my eyes and circled 'D'. This was a trick question since Pisum sativum and legumes were each terms for 'pea.' The question was especially tricky since you not only needed to know the correct answer (peas), but you also needed to know that the other two choices were still, technically, peas.
Pencils swished and tapped and, for one student directly behind me, screeched against paper; there were mutterings and the occasional deep sigh; the smell of sweat and fear was thick in the air.
I finished the last question of the section I was on (the two major kingdoms of unicellular organisms are: C. Protista and Monera.) and sucked in a deep breath, stretching my arms above my head and letting my gaze travel across the room. Because the final took so long, the two honors classes had been combined and the students seated in alphabetical order.
The twenty tables in the testing room were arranged in two symmetrical rows. The tables were designed to seat four people but with the scratch paper, calculators and extra pencils each student brought, plus snacks and water bottles, the tables were pretty crowded with just three of us at each one.
I was in the first seat of the first row, second table. This was because my last name was Bean. Abigail Bean. Next to me was Riley Porsche Bennett. I glanced at her out of the corner of my eye. She was the kind of pretty that made your breath catch in your throat. The kind that made you want to ask her to be still and not speak for a moment so you could just look at her. She had long, silky brown hair that was pulled back into a stylish ponytail. Her eyes were ice blue and her lips were full and naturally pink. Yeah, she was pretty, but she was also meaner than a deadly parasite and dumber than a single-cell organism.

Published in Institutional Investor August 5, 2009 by David E. Adler
Overconfident, filled with hubris, set in their ways—this describes the strategic behavior of most CEOs. But there is a special category of CEO, a subspecies if you will: superstar CEOs. These are the CEOs on talk shows and the covers of the business press holding forth on the issue of the day. The ones who appear at the World Economic Forum at Davos. The ones seemingly more worried about global carbon emissions rather than their company's immediate future. Although it is clear they are concerned global citizens, what is less clear is if they are good for business: How does having a superstar as CEO affect company value?

The long-term plan to extend the space for exhibiting pictures within the Palazzo Barberini, which houses the Italian states main collection of antique pictures, reaches its first stage on 13 December. In the presence of the president of the republic, Giorgio Napolitano, and the minister of fine arts, Francesco Rutelli, eight newly refurbished rooms will be declared open to visitors.
The next stage, due to be completed by the end of December 2006, is the vacating of the enormous apartments in the palace occupied for some 70 years by the Circolo degli Ufficiali (officers club).
Works to restore these spaces and prepare them for exhibiting will then begin and will continue until the end of 2009, after which there will be enough room to display all 1,500 pictures in the collection. At the moment these are distributed between inadequate space in the building, store rooms (and therefore invisible to the public) and the Palazzo Corsini in Via della Lungara. Amongst the best-known works in the collection are Raphaels Fornarina, Holbeins portrait of Henry VIII and Caravaggios Narcissus.

Fire meets ice. Love meets hate.
Seventeen-year-old Isis Blake hasn't fallen in love in three years, nine weeks, and five days, and after what happened last time, she intends to keep it that way. Since then she's lost eighty-five pounds, gotten four streaks of purple in her hair, and moved to the Buttcrack-of-Nowhere Ohio to help her mom escape a bad relationship.
All the girls in her new school want one thing – Jack Hunter, the Ice Prince of East Summit High. Hot as an Armani ad, smart enough to get into Yale, and colder than the Arctic, Jack Hunter's never gone out with anyone. Sure, people have seen him downtown with beautiful women, but he's never given high school girls the time of day. Until Isis punches him in the face.
Jack's met his match. Suddenly everything is a game.
The goal: Make the other beg for mercy.
The game board: East Summit High.
The reward: Something neither of them expected.
**This book contains language, some of which may be unsuitable for younger readers.
**This is the first book in the LOVELY VICIOUS series.
Whenever I finish reading an amazing book, I clam up! I have no idea how to express my feelings. So yeah, I loved this book so so so much!
As depressing as the quote above is, I wasn't really depressed by this book. Maybe sad and at times a little tearful, but this book was a medley of teen angst covered in some pretty wicked humour. First and foremost I should probably stress that I do love teen angst, all kinds of it! I love going through the awkwardness, unnecessary self loathing and torturous romance... in books.
I loved, Isis! She has some serious issues but don't for one minute think that she's a doormat because of it. She was loud, obnoxious, opinionated, smart, witty and incredibly loyal to her friend Kayla. Even though I couldn't stand Kayla. Isis is a transfer student, so she's the new girl and reformed fat girl. At her old school she was known as the fat girl, a boy she calls Nameless broke her heart and she can't stand to hear his name said. She lives with her mother who was recently physically assaulted by her ex-boyfriend. Her mother suffers from PTSD, and Isis has become the parent and her mother the child (my personal observation). So she they've move and she's started a new school and goes to her first party. Which is where it all begins...with a kiss.
I like to think being genuinely nice is one of my strengths though, you know, minus punching guys who deserve it. So I'll be nice. I'll keep myself from everyone else. No one wants ugly. Even if they did, it wouldn't be good for them. I'm loud and angry and sarcastic. No one wants that. Nameless taught me that too. He taught me to spare everyone from myself. That's true kindness.
Enter Jack AKA The Ice Prince. Breaker of many hearts and doesn't give a shit about it either. Actually he probably isn't even aware of it, Isis zeroes in on him, while her friend Kayla continues her 6 year crush fest on him. Jack hurts Kayla's feelings, Isis is put out on behalf of her friend and vows to make him apologise, and so a war begins. Who will out smart the other?
My Thoughts
Isis, is the epitome of an outcast. She doesn't fit in anywhere, but then again she doesn't feel like she has to. There's some bullying and threats but she never takes it lying down. Isis fought all the way, I wanted to smack her at times because her loyalty to Kayla was infuriating. Kayla may have been sweet but she was also selfish, and even blatantly abused Isis' friendship.
This book does not deal with light subject matter, but it does address it with humour which I did appreciate. Nothing was trivialised but it's really difficult reading about a depressed and whiney heroine. Isis, was a breathe of fresh air.
So if you're looking for a YA book, with some drama, angst, romance and hilarious and smart banter this is your book!

Whenever we disconnect from our true source, our true nature and forget who we really are, it hurts us.
It is supposed to hurt when we disconnect from the TRUTH of us.
When we tell ourselves stories that are not true, you will feel pain, that pain lets you know, STOP IT!! "Your lying to yourself loved one, stop it."
Keep this in the back of your mind as you go about your day, pay attention to your train of thought and if you notice that you feel bad, pay attention to your thoughts……surely you will find that in some way you were telling yourself a story that isn't true, believing stuff about yourself that isn't true, believing things about others that isn't true, seeing things through a lens of a LIE.
That us why Jesus said, "You shall know the TRUTH and the TRUTH shall set you free!!"
Align with the truth, think patterns of thought that are true and you'll feel GREAT, continuously during the day keep turning towards the TRUTH. HOW do I do that you ask?
As you notice the story your telling yourself, the belief your holding about yourself or someone else…..ask, "What is the TRUTH here?" "What is the most EMPOWERING thing I can tell myself about this?"
Whatever is the most empowering is also closest to the truth.
The Divine is ultimate empowerment and truth…..also love.
So the last part of this message is, SOFTEN, how can you soften towards yourself a little more right now?
How can you soften your attitude towards others? Towards life? Soften and as you soften you open and as you open you receive!!

Some people put as little time and research into choosing an investment advisor as a dry cleaner. But unless you want to get taken — to the cleaners — it's worth doing your homework and asking plenty of questions before settling on an investment advisor.
"Number one, the broker or investment advisor should share a similar philosophy to the investor," said Arty Finkelberg, senior vice president of investment for A.G. Edwards in Jackson. "There are people in my business who are very aggressive, and people who are very conservative. What an investor looks for is someone who shares a similar philosophy."
Finkelberg said good chemistry between the planner and investor is also important.
"Without the correct chemistry, you aren't going to get a good match," he said. "There should be a certain chemistry because communication is a very important part of the financial planning process."
He also advises checking the educational background of the financial planner. See whether the advisor has gone to the extra effort to become a Certified Financial Planner or a Chartered Financial Consultant.
"This is a rapidly changing business, so people who stay current in this business have a certain edge," Finkelberg said. "Experience is very important. It's hard for someone who is new to this business to see the market and investments from all sides. I think that only comes from experience."
Logan B. Phillips Jr., senior vice president at Morgan Keegan & Co. in Jackson, agrees that experience and compatibility are important.
"Be sure that the philosophy of the investment advisors meet your criteria, that you think alike," Phillips said. "It is good to ask for referrals. One of the best ways to select an investment advisor is to talk to someone else who has used a person or persons."
Phillips said that judging a financial advisor by performance of the investments selected by the advisor might not be the best route to take. For example, if a client is very, very averse to risk, performance is not going to be great.
"You need to look at performance versus a client's objectives and risk parameters," Phillips said. "As long as those two match, the investment advisor is delivering along the client's objectives."
Investors should look for advisors who have realistic expectations and emphasize lower-risk investments, said Dan Daily, an investment representative with Edward Jones & Co. in Vicksburg.
"I would look for someone who, when they explained the investment, didn't promise you too high of a return," Daily said. "Some of the returns which are being advertised are unrealistic. It is important to know what you are investing in. People need to find a financial advisor who understands the risks, and is able to develop a good plan with the person's risk tolerance in mind."
Daily thinks it is a good idea to deal face-to-face with an advisor. He said most people feel more comfortable dealing with a financial advisor in their hometown, someone the investor can develop a long-term relationship with.
"Most of my clients like to be able to look me in the eye," Daily said. "I'm the same way. I would be leery of the phone calls you get from out of state promising tremendous returns on investments. I don't personally know any people who got rich quick. All of my clients got rich by investing slowly in high-quality investments over the long term.
"Magazines and newspapers are advertising tremendously high rates of returns. People are wanting to believe it is possible to make 30% to 40% consistently, and they aren't understanding the full risk of what they are investing in. They need to hear the rest of the story about what they are putting their money into."
Daily said a bad sign is an advisor who recommends buying and selling a lot, and who calls frequently with the latest hot stock tip. "I think a buy and hold strategy over the long term is best for 99% of people," he said.
Laura S. Brown, vice president and branch manager for Charles Schwab & Company Inc. in Jackson, said their company is set up in a way that puts the investment advisor on the same side of the table as the client. Schwab investment advisors are paid a percentage of assets under management versus a commission on the actual trade.
"We feel like there is a conflict of interest when you implement a financial plan through brokeraged, commissioned products," Brown said. "We are all set up on salary, and so we have a totally different look at how we do business.
"We will sit down with a customer and do an asset allocation model, then implement it using no-load mutual funds they select. Or we can provide research reports and let them decide which individual stocks to buy. We give them tools to help them decide."
Brown said Schwab's research on individual companies and mutual funds is available mostly free of charge. Through a Schwab Web site, customers can look up their stock or mutual fund balance, place orders and read about different companies.
Brown recommended that investors only do business with advisors who are registered.
In Mississippi, call the Secretary of State's office at 1-800-804-6364 to determine if an advisor is registered to sell stocks and bonds in the state.
"If you have any doubts about a proposal or company, or just a question in general, for starters call us and make sure the person is registered with our office," said Secretary of State Eric Clark. "And then if you have suspicions about someone's behavior, we will be glad to investigate it."
Clark said if a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is. "Obviously that is a clich

A Mysterious Tale

Short Story by: M.C. Al-Cherif
Darkness in the asylum of Volterra invaded the silent corridors as the rooms exhaled a creepy sensation. There was one room that was slightly lit by the shadows of moonlight. Inside the room was a patient named Beth Abbandonato, daughter of an Italian father and a British mother.
"I can't see you like that... Beth" said Nathalie
"What do you mean you can't see me like that? you're the one who made me feel this way!'
"Stop blaming me! I'm just a kid! you can't blame me for what you're going through!" Nathalie's voice was shaking as the words crawled through her throat. Indeed, Nathalie was just a kid and she looked like the infant version of Beth, except she had longer hair. The patient couldn't stand what Nathalie just told her, so she collapsed and her screams echoed the corridors of the hospital. The nurses hurried to calm her down by grabbing her from the wrists and injecting her with needles. Her legs were moving violently but they slowly ceased as the effect of the drug slid through her veins.
In the morning, Beth goes to the park where all the patients gather and she is quite as usual with a blank expression on her face. Today, she notices some different place -an isolated abode- and goes closer to it. Curious, she hurries a little and her eyes slightly sparkle with eagerness. The minute she stands there, a powerful source of light suddenly appears. It looks as though it is dangled from the sky, and, to her big surprise... it spoke! it literally uttered words!
"Hello Beth" it said "how are you doing today?" Beth was staring in silence, she could barely speak.
"You are troubled Beth. It's okay, you do mean something to me"
"Who are you?" Beth inquired. Yet the voice didn't respond "What do you want from me?"
"I'm here to guide you"
"guide me? what do you mean guide me?"
"You are lost. You are lost" its voice was deep and low-pitched and it felt as though it came from the farthest, most profound frontier of the universe but it was high in volume.
"Nathalie is not real" it continued "Do you know that?"
"Then why do I see her? An-and how do you know her?!"
"Your soul is making you see and hear inexistent humans. That is why, Beth, you need to understand that suffering is simply a dystopian part of this world. That way, you will start to have the volition to live"
"You didn't tell me how you know Nathalie"
"That doesn't matter now. Are you willing to listen to me Beth? I can guarantee this will change your life."
"Why do I have to listen to you? I don't even know who you are!"
"Fine I'll just go th-"
"I can answer you questions about yourself"
"How come you know about me and you don't want to say anything about yourself?"
"Because we differ in matter and soul" the Alien responded. Its words confused her but she chose to pursue the conversation:
"What can you tell me about myself?"
"I can tell you everything about yourself" Beth gasped in surprise and wondered: "If that is the case then I have sooo many questions to ask you!"
"Go ahead, the floor is yours" the Alien suggested
The night came by and Beth was in her room staring through the window. She was gazing in a manner that would lead us to assume she was thinking about something that was gone. Beth's attention was drawn to her conversation with the Alien. That's what she called it: the Alien, with a capital A. She felt excited as she was remembering its words that fed her soul.
The morning Beth was in the park, she first interrogated the Alien the reason she's the only person who can see Nathalie and it replied:
"Your subconscious created her and since no one can access the other's subconscious, it is therefore natural that no one but you, Beth, can see Nathalie."
"But I don't want to see her!'
"There is a desire located within your subconscoius which led to the apparition of Nathalie. Think about your deepest wish."
"Ithink it's..." Beth seemed to be lost in her thoughts while saying this, but she insisted to guess what it is in her mind that made her visualize Nathalie. She was seeking that masked truth inside her. "I think it's wishing to have a peaceful childhood.." she continued "it's wishing to go back in time and start everything from scratch"
"And you know that it's impossible to time travel"
"Time travel? Now that's a brilliant idea! You do seem like a genius who has super powers. After all, you don't look human at all! and you know about me more than I know about myself. Can you make me time tra-"
"It is impossible to go back in time Beth" the Alien interrupted
"But you can do that, right?"
"Time, Beth, transcends us all. It is the most intiguing natural force for humans. No one could ever go beyond it. Not even myself." the Alien explained.
"How is that even possible? b-but you are not human, right?"
"I'm obviously not human, but the System doesn't allow such an activity like time travelling to take place."
"Does that mean I have no hope?" questioned the patient
"The System might block activities that are out of its possibilities, but it is definitely not responsible for the continuation of abstract notions"
"if the System is not responsible, then who is?" Beth asked this question in a very confident fashion.
"It is humans." As the Alien said this, Beth's expression changed to what looked like a person who has just heard of the death of a beloved one.
"Are you saying that humans are the enemies of values like hope?" the girl's voice was shaking violently
"It is confusing, isn't it? Although humans seem to be seeking security and love, without even realizing it, they are actually the ultimate enemies of such goodness."
The sky was cloudy this morning and Beth was sitting on the bench. The breeze slightly moved her hair that touched her pale face. A sudden but unknown feeling told her to walk through the walls behind the kitchen to go to the place where she first encountered the Alien. She slowed down as she reached the grassy ground and lifted her leg to the hill while breathing a little heavily. When she stepped toward the mysterious abode, she looked everywhere in the hope of finding "it". The sky was even cloudier than earlier and it looked as though it was going to rain, but she chose to wait. After a little moment, she saw a silhouette standing beside the tree in front of her. Beth walked toward it and said:
"What are you doing here?"
"Just staring at your desperate face" said Nathalie while letting out a faint giggle. Beth glared at her in a scornful manner and replied:
"Well, I am afraid to tell you that I'm not desperate." At the moment Nathalie heard the patient's statement, she immediately let out a deafening evil laugh that sounded almost like a scream. Beth couldn't stand this sight and she desperately wanted to run away, but where can she go? There was definitely nowhere to go, nowhere to escape this anguish...
Beth was dining with the other patients when she was abruptly startled by Nathalie's apparition to tell her about the Alien. Her eyes opened widely and as she turned to ask her what she saw, the little girl disappeared again.
After the dinner, Beth was walking along the corridor that was painted with the beams of the setting sun. Her footsteps followed a slow rhythm, which echoed the space.They finally ceased at the entrance of her chamber in a perfect cadence. She noticed a dim light coming out of the door. Her heart skipped a beat as she hurried to open it. And there, a huge figure was standing before her, shining so brightly that one might think would go blind. The patient could barely see Nathalie who was sitting on the edge of her bed.
"You- you came!" she excaimed.
"I never come or go Beth. I am alaways here" replied the Alien
"But I don't always see you!" her shaky voice could be easily discerned, however, her statement invited the Alien to deliver a long speech:
"You are such an intelligent human for constantly attempting to comprehend how the System works. But I must warn you that what you are doing is dangerous for you have no idea of the consequences. The System is a complex and inaccessible energy. That energy transcends your abilities, your history, your existence! Beth... you are playing with the most powerful natural forces. Your intelligence is intense but you cannot let it destroy you."
The patient was listening carefully to the Alien's speech and she was quiet even when it finished talking. There was a brief moment of silence, which felt like a slight pause in a minor sonata. She responded that she is not intelligent and that if she were one, she wouldn't be stuck in this agony.
"You are stuck in this agony because you do not set limits to your acumen. When something is excessive, it loses its value and purpose. Thoughts can be calamitous to the mind." clarified the Alien.
"So what do you think I should do?"
"Commence your journey by letting go. That is the very essence of living."
"let go?! How is that even possible for someone like me??! Someone who can see and hear what others can't! No way I can let go! That is non sense!" Beth yelled uncontrollably.
"The inability to let go is the inability to live" the Alien's words horrified Beth to the extent that she could no longer protest or even react with a simple gesture.
The clock struck midnight and the Alien slowly started to disappear. Meanwhile, Beth remained stood in the same place and Nathalie was finally visible to her. The patient was now wondering and the questions whirling in her mind could be effortlessly predicted; will she be able to see the Alien again? Wil she be able to let go? What would her destiny be like?...

There ain't no wedding like a family estate wedding. Steeped in family history, Katie and Conor's Westport Ontario wedding ticked all of our boxes in what we hope for in a wedding; a lakefront family estate (classically Canadian/sentimental location), a gorgeous, adoring couple, an outdoor ceremony, and beautiful autumn weather (with moody skies to boot).
Despite all the visual treats, it was really Katie and Conor's exuberance, absence of pretension, and love for each other, family and friends that made this Westport Ontario wedding such a memorable affair. Incredibly gracious hosts, they made us feel like we were long-time friends with the best seats in the house in which to view their delightful day unfold.
We could go on at length about how special this day was, but we think the visuals below do it more justice. If you ever find yourself driving an hour south-west of Ottawa (May thru October), you must stop by Westport and discover this beautiful town and area in the Rideau Lakes.
To see a few more of our favourite backyard celebrations, check out Katherine + Adam's autumn wedding, Tom + Kallen's rainy day Quebec wedding, and Shell + Daniel's Hilo Hawaii wedding on a family farm.

So I Got Drunk and Watched Step Up 3D
What follows is my stream of consciousness reaction to Step Up 3D. I edited nothing in terms of spelling and grammar and only added words when necessary for comprehension. For example, anytime the "him" or "them" wasn't immediately clear, I put the character's name in, otherwise, everything is untouched.

Top O'the Mornin' to Yeh
Hi. I'm Irish.
I know what you're thinking, "no, you're not. You're some kind of Mexican."
Actually, I'm Chinese-Filipino-Italian-and, wait for it, -Irish.
"Loman," is actually the Irish spelling. With "Lohman" being Scottish and "Lowman" being English. That might be vice-versa. Or not true at all and completely made up by my grandfather, but he's 90 and fought in both theaters of operation during WWII, so we let him make up whatever he wants. He shot down 13 Zeros. What have you done with your life?
My name is actually pretty Irish, Matthew Loman, but the Asian and Italian heritage are the cultures that were impressed on me the most. My grandmother was first-generation Italian, the first of her family to be born here, in Chicago, and she still didn't speak English until she was six and the city made her go to school. She was less than thrilled that at no point did her parents try to help her learn English and just shipped her off to first grade.
I was actually born in the Philippines and flew to America with my mom to be with my dad when I was only a couple of months old. Though thanks to Filipino hereditary laws I was born an American citizen. *drinks a Bud as eagles soar overheard*
The Lomans, however, were here for some time, so far back that no one remembers when they came over from Ireland. They can trace themselves back to their ranches and farms in Oklahoma and up into the Dakotas, but after that the Lomans' origins are lost to time. They are simply Americans.
Ironically, despite my name, an affinity for beer from Ireland (the entire United Kingdom, actually), and my favorite soccer team being Celtic FC (which is actually in Scotland, but founded by Irish immigrants [second favorite being Arsenal]), I have very little connection to my Irish heritage.
Except on St. Patrick's day when I milk it for everything it's worth.
And you can, too.

I found this at Warming Glow which is a fantastic TV blog that talks about Sons of Anarchy and Mad Men and sexy babies all day. It is awesome.
A new featured introduced a week ago was 'Corgi Fridays,' and kids, it is fantastic.
This Gif, however. This Gif, man.
I think it's broken me. It's a second and a half long, but don't let that fool you, this little piece of art, and it is art, is dense.

Louis C.K. is King of Twitter
Most celebrities use Twitter to rant or promote upcoming projects. Comedy Lord Louis C.K. does this sometimes, but he also uses it to get super drunk and tweet his stream of consciousness.

People with Whom I Do Not Want to Get Drunk.
Writer's Block is a bitch, ain't it?
In celebration of my inability to write, we're going right back to the well all the way from far flung last week.
Drinking, and I mean the actual ceremony of drinking, calling friends, going out, grabbing a booth or table, setting up shop, and going to work, not sitting in your living room, imbibing alcohol, is a very precise thing.
There are a lot of very important factors to bring into play.
Where are you going? Is this a crawl? A meet and greet? A bullshit session?
Why are we drinking? Is it in celebration? Mourning? Catching up? Trying to meet someone?
Who's coming? Like it or not, you don't actually have one giant circle of friends, but, instead, travel amongst many different spheres. Old friends from home, friends you went to school with, people you know from work, from extra-curriculars, etc, they won't all get along, so you have to make sure you have the proper mix for a good night out.
Last week we examined the dream team I'd want to bring out for a long weekend, now we look at the nightmare squad.
Who? Pete Dunham. Green Street Hooligans.
Green Street Hooligans is a lot like Fight Club, it's about a boy who goes looking for how to become a man in a world that doesn't have any use for them, but his search brings him to all the wrong places. They're both gleeful adolescent fantasies until halfway through the third act when the movies ask "is this really what you want?"

So, I Got Drunk and Watched Twilight
I can't really form any coherent thoughts on the matter. What I sat through was atrocious. Not even on a story or acting level, but at the basic level of film-making competence. Things like establishing shots, using any take but the first one, lighting, and others are all just skipped in favor of staring contests between two vapid idiots.
I have so much bile, we're going to jump the essay format and go to the noblest and laziest presentation style, the LIST.
What is Bella's problem? Everyone likes her. Everyone. The kids of her high school, who apparently have never dared to even imagine meeting someone from a different state, fall all over themselves to be near her. Every guy she meets wants to date her. Despite this attention and devotion from the boys, every girl wants to be her best friend, ever. I don't know if Stephanie Meyer's ever actually interacted with other human beings, but A.) girls aren't that forgiving, B.) no one in high school is ever warmly welcomed, and C.) if they are, they're not sullen, miserable little shits who hate everyone and everything around them. What is this well-liked, attractive, and intelligent girl's fucking problem? Read the rest of this entry
Do. Not. F-ck. Me. On. This.
It appears that nearly everyone in my life is getting married/already married. It inspired me to write this.

Guys, tonight, some stuff's going to happen.
Weird stuff.
No guff, you're going to see some shit, and unless you're a filthy fucking degenerate like Williams over there, it's going to challenge you. It will shake your spiritual and your entire emotional development to the core.
Gentlemen, this is why we go to Vegas. To challenge ourselves, to grow spiritually, and to remind ourselves what a 19-year-old single mom's vagina looks like.

Camilla Puts on a Brave Face
Still woozy from the loss of blood caused by two separate wounds - one to her heart, and one a more general overall burning sensation - Camilla Parker Bowles put on her brave face this morning when speaking to the British press.
Camilla: "I realize that I told you just a few hours ago that there was not - not! - to be any postponement of the royal wedding. Mmm, I suppose that was a bit brash of me... I suppose that's one of the reasons one shouldn't start out the morning with mimosas, except for the weekends, when the press isn't out and about so early."
Press: "Was it us, then, that you were calling a bunch of bloody wankers? Eh? Or maybe it was Prince Charlie. Oooh, he wouldn't like that one bit. Care to comment?
Camilla: "First, I did not use the phrase 'bloody wankers'. I simply used the unmodified word wankers, and I did not address it to the press, and I assuredly did not address it to the Prince, who is anything but a wanker."
Press: "Correction, then. I see from the transcript that what you actually said was 'bloody funeral', with 'wankers' being part of a subordinate clause. So, and correct me if I'm wrong here, but can I infer that you are in fact blaspheming the Vatican as a bunch of bloody wankers?"
Camilla: "I implied nothing of the sort. It's you all who are the bleedin' wankers!"
Press: "Bleedin' wankers, then. Us, the press? Sure, and what are you threatening, to cut the Prince off from any slap and tickle?"
Camilla: "I was joking, of course. You should know that the Prince can take me anytime and anyway he wishes."
Press: "Bit distasteful, that."
Camilla: "That's all I intend to say on the matter."
Press: "As you wish. Wots this, then, about the Royal Ring? The lads say you can get one just like it down at the Asda Superstore."
Camilla: "You most certainly can not. My ring was passed down from the Queen Mother Elizabeth and is made of platinum, and has this big square diamond in the middle and three diamond baguettes on both sides. Priceless really."
Press: "£19 down at Asda. Look, The Sun has a picture of it. 'Sterling sterling silver and emerald-cut cubic zirconium'. Black and white. Ready to call the Prince a wanker now?"

Regarding hemodialysis patients' limitations in consuming different foods, providing them with a product with health-promoting effects is important. The objective of this study was to develop a functional food from whey protein for this disease condition and assess its sensory, chemical, and nutritional characteristics. Fermented and unfermented beverages were prepared as a mixture of whey protein concentrate (8.5%), permeate (1.4 % for fermented), mint flavor (0.01%), vitamin E (0.18%), and water. Ty17A starter was used for the fermented blend. After pasteurization, and homogenization, the blends were stored until the sensory, chemical, and nutritional evaluations were done. Data were analyzed by SPSS Software (version 16). The pH values of the fermented and unfermented beverages were 3.8 and 6.02, respectively. The medians of all sensory attributes were greater than 4 for the fermented and less than 3 for the unfermented beverages (except color). All sensory attributes other than the color were significantly different between beverages (P< 0.05). The overall acceptability of the unfermented beverage was less. No significant nutritional differences were seen between beverages. Some of the nutrients values in the beverages are desirable for hemodialysis patients (Protein: 7.9-8 g 100 g
, Fat: 0.4%, Trans fatty acids: 2%, Saturated fatty acids: 56.15% Phosphorus: 9.25-9.35 mg 100 g
, Potassium: 0.0295 %, Sodium: 62.5 mg 100 g
, and vitamin E: 400 mg 220 mL
). The microbial counts of both were safe. Vitamin E fortified fermented whey beverage might be a good recommendation for hemodialysis patients because of its protein quality, low fat, phosphorus, sodium, and potassium and high vitamin E contents.

Open Shelves in the Kitchen
6 comments:
I just love the look and so wanted to use it in our beach house remodel. At least hoping we can have it in our pantry that will have a glass front door. Beautiful images!ReplyDelete
I'm such a fan of open shelving! I purposely buy pretty things, why not show them off all the time?!ReplyDelete
I absolutely love open shelving! I definitely want some cabinets, but I hope to incorporate some open shelving as well! It's very French ;)ReplyDelete
I absolutely love the open shelf concept! My mom is actually looking to do a kitchen renovation also and I have been looking at various pics. Love your choices! Agreed that you have to keep things super organized for it to look good! I am a new GFC follower!ReplyDelete
Looking forward to following you!
I also love this look! I wish I would just have the guts to go for it! The images you showed are so gorgeous. I hope your parents go for it, so I can live vicariously through them! :) Have a great weekend!ReplyDelete
If (and only IF) I was organized, I would TOTALLY do this because I LOVE IT! But knowing me, it would look disheveled and totally ridiculous.... haha!ReplyDelete
Have missed you McKae- hope you're well!

In the literature, various distraction techniques have been shown to raise the pain threshold. As an experimental pain model, the cold pressor test has been widely used since it provides a standardized and relatively intense pain stimulus. If a significant effect on the perceived intensity of pain can be observed in a relatively small number of volunteers (10-15) with this model, the distracting technique may be suitable for further evaluation.
Pain tolerance to the cold pressor test has been shown to increase after watching a humorous movie for 30 minutes before the pain stimulus started, and distraction in the form of a mental task (subtraction) has recently been demonstrated to attenuate the pain sensation evoked by short C02 laser stimuli. The results of another previous study indicated that it was essential for the hypoalgesic effect that, first, the volunteer had a strong belief in the positive effect of music as distraction and, second, that he/she was allowed to control the volume and thereby create a feeling of controlling the pain. A more recent study evaluated the intensity of pain during dental treatment with music used as a distraction without any prior positive information and without giving the patient the possibility of controlling the volume and reported that patients listening to music experienced a stronger feeling of control of the pain than patients in the control group. cialis professional
The present study aimed to investigate video glasses as an easy way of implementing external distraction. A recent study demonstrated that audio and video both transmitted through video glasses reduced intensity of symptoms during sigmoidoscopy while sound per se did not have a significant effect. The interpretation of this result could be that the hypoalgesic effect is related to the intensity of the stimuli, which was the reason for including both 2D and 3D films in the present study. There was no possibility for the volunteer to manipulate the volume of sound once started or to choose favorite videos. The same film sequences were unfortunately not available in both 2D and 3D, and in the selection of the videos, weight was put on their neutral content.
The present data clearly indicated that the video glasses that transmitted 3D or 2D video and stereo sound reduced the perceived pain and/or unpleasantness from the cold pressor stimulus. Another interesting finding in the present study was the observed gender differences in the effect of video glasses (H3 had to be rejected). Three-dimensional video produced a significant reduction in pain and unpleasantness in the male group compared with the control condition, whereas there was no effect for 2D video. In the female group, there was a significant reduction only of unpleasantness for the 2D video compared with the control. Thus, hypothesis Нг had to be rejected with regard to the male group and H2 with regard to the female group. The different findings in the male and the female groups, however, are not likely to be explained by generally lower VAS scores in males than in females since there were no significant differences in their ratings of pain and unpleasantness in the control condition. Gender differences in pain threshold have been shown predominantly to originate in the experimental pain technique, but gender differences have been found by other authors using the cold pressor and other thermal test stimuli. Pain tolerance could not be measured because no volunteers withdrew their hand before the fixed maximum period of 3 minutes. The present results are in agreement with the findings in a study on relaxation and distraction during dental procedures that suggested that relaxation in the form of instructions through earphones was more effective in women than in men and that distraction in the form of a video game was more effective in men than in women. It must be emphasized that the male group consisted mainly of polytechnic students and the female group consisted of dental students, which could be a confounding factor. Nevertheless, it was a remarkable finding that everyone wanted to use video glasses, either 2D or 3D, if they were to repeat a cold pressor test, even if they had rated the lowest pain intensity in the condition without video glasses.
Three quarters of the volunteers actually did prefer the method in which they had rated the lowest pain intensity. It seems promising for the video glasses method that it was universally preferred by volunteers, and it seems that the individual is able to choose the method that gives the greatest relief of pain and in this way optimize the effect. cheap cialis canadian pharmacy
In conclusion, this study suggests that an external distraction technique, video glasses, could be effective as an easily implemented device to reduce pain and unpleasantness. Therefore, further studies may be warranted to reveal whether the effect of video glasses can be transferred to different clinical situations in dental practice.
Blog invites submissions of review articles, reports on clinical techniques, case reports, conference summaries, and articles of opinion pertinent to the control of pain and anxiety in dentistry.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) advances an average of N848 billion to Deposit Money Banks monthly to boost their liquidity, The Nation investigation has shown.
The fund, a Standing Lending Facility (SLF), given at 14 per cent, is an overnight credit available on banking days between 2 pm and 3.30 pm, with settlement done on same day value.
The CBN had at last month's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting maintained the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) at 12 per cent, and kept the symmetric corridor of +2 per cent around the MPR for SLF. However, the SLFs are available only to banks and discount houses that have executed the Nigerian Master Repurchase Agreement (NMRA) with the regulator.
The NMRA, covers the operations of the SLF and addresses issues relating to pricing, duration, custodian as well as default resolution in lending.
According to the CBN Economic Reports for July, first and second quarters'analyses, the regulator advanced a cumulative N5.94 trillion to the beneficiary financial institutions during the period, bringing the monthly average to N848.7 billion.
A total of N2.78 trillion SLFs were advanced to banks in the first quarter, the figure dropped to N2.56 trillion during the second quarter, and stood at N599.7 billion in July this year. The decline in the SLF demanded in the second quarter, compared to the first, this was attributed mainly to the adjustment in the investment pattern of banks following the restrictions placed on standing facilities by the CBN in the third quarter of last year.
The SLFs intakes are expected to rise further after the apex bank on August 7, mopped up over N1 trillion from the financial system. Subsequent mop ups, following the increase in the Cash Reserve Ratio on public sector deposits rose by 38 per cent to 50 per cent.
The total Standing Deposit Facility (SDF) was N6.1 trillion during the second quarter of the year, representing a decline of 84.5 per cent below the level in the preceding quarter. The development was attributed to the liquidity condition in the banking system during the quarter. The rate for the SDF was maintained at 10 per cent, or two per cent below the MPR.
July also saw a daily average SLF of N14.17 billion advanced for the 23 working days, while interest received stood at N0.36 billion.
CBN data indicated that during the month, total assets and liabilities of the DMBs amounted to N22.7 trillion, showing an increase of 0.8 per cent above the level at the end of the preceding month.
The regulator's data showed that the level of liquidity in the money market further increased in July due to the injection of N1, 266.18 billion. The injections comprised the repayment of OMO matured Bills, Statutory Revenue Allocation (SRA) and Value Added Tax (VAT) to the Federal, states and local governments, Joint Venture Cash call and Subsidy Re-investment and Empowerment programme (SURE-P), as well as contractual obligation and arrears of February Statutory Revenue Allocation.
Also, there was a N11.9 trillion banks' credit to the domestic economy, which rose by 0.4 per cent above the level in the preceding month. The breakdown showed that relative to the level at the end of the preceding month, credit to both the private sector, state and local governments rose by 0.9 and 9.4 per cent, respectively, which more than offset the 11.1 per cent decline in credit to the Federal Government.
Total specified liquid assets of the banks stood at N7.6 trillion, representing 49.5 per cent of their total current liabilities. At that level, the liquidity ratio fell by 6.6 percentage points below the level in the preceding month, but was 19.5 percentage points above the stipulated minimum ratio of 30 per cent.
The loans-to-deposit ratio, at 34.1 per cent, was 9.8 and 45.9 percentage points below the level at the end of the preceding month and the prescribed maximum ratio of 80 per cent, respectively.
However, during the second quarter ended June, banks' total assets and liabilities stood at N22.4 trillion, , representing an increase of one per cent over the level at the end of the preceding quarter. The funds, which were sourced, largely, from reserves and increased mobilization of demand deposit liabilities, were used mainly to extend credit to the private sector and acquisition of unclassified assets.
Equally, banks credit to domestic economy rose to N11.9 trillion, 5.3 per cent above the level in the preceding quarter. The development was attributed, largely, to the 14.3 per cent increase in claims on the Federal Government.
The loans-to-deposit ratio, was at 43.9 per cent, 5.6 percentage points above the level at the end of the preceding quarter, and 36.1 percentage points below the prescribed maximum ratio of 80 per cent.
The second quarter also saw money market rates influenced by the liquidity condition in the banking system. Monetary Policy stance remained largely restrictive as the MPR was maintained at 12 per cent. The Liquidity Ratio, Cash Reserve Requirement (CRR) and the Net Open Position were also retained at their previous levels of 30, 12 and one per cent, respectively. Money market indicators were relatively stable in the review quarter. However, on two occasions, the CBN offered special Open Market Operation auctions at fixed rates of 12.75 and 12.35 per cent.

Believe me nobody despises saying goodbye more than I do. The end of university is probably the biggest set of goodbyes anyone ever has to do, and as fun as the post-exams nights out are, leaving all your friends behind is as horrible as the hangovers the next morning.
So as the biggest, and truly the best, final goodbye we all packed our most ridiculous clothes (and glitter) into the smallest bags we could find and headed off to Manchester, and to Parklife.
I also decided to leave my trusty DSLR at home and bring out the newest addition to my ever growing camera collection, a Nikon SLR (of the most basic form) which I won for £30 off eBay. This turned out to be a stellar investment as the photos are some of my favourites ever.
