Lynton School is to be found in the old village of Lynton, situated on the very attractive coastline of North Devon and within the Exmoor National Park.
Lynton with Lynmouth has a population of approx. 2,000 with the nearest towns of Ilfracombe, Barnstaple and Minehead being 20 miles away.
The history of the school building goes back to 1844. Various additions have been built over the years, the most extensive being the modernisation of 1975. Further major building works took place during the Spring/Summer Term of 2002 with the addition of a new classroom, reception area and offices at ground level and internal alterations to incorporate a multi-purpose hall, providing the very best accommodation for our pupils.
At Lynton C.E. Primary School we endeavour to provide a happy, caring environmentwithin which all children enjoy learning and feel confident that their contribution isvalued. We hope to provide a wide range of balanced learning opportunities for all and encourage individuals to maximise their potential. We actively promote self-confidence and encourage independence and responsibility. It is said, "that nothing succeeds like success", and we strive to give every child the experience of success and a sense of satisfaction throughout their educational experience at Lynton.
As a Church of England School, we are also interested in the spiritual and moraldevelopment of our pupils. We hope to help them realise that tolerance and respect for others is vital if they are to successfully fulfil their role within the school community, village community and wider world community.
We believe that children can only achieve their best if there is close co-operationbetween home and school. Parents/carers are encouraged to share in their child'seducation and we endeavour to help parents/carers understand the aims and objectives of the school and how these are supported in the educational programme followed by the children at home.
Lynton with Lynmouth has a population of approx. 2,000 with the nearest towns ofIlfracombe, Barnstaple and Minehead being 20 miles away.
Lynton's economy is heavily based on tourism and farming.
The building currently comprises of four classrooms; a library/ICT suite; infant andjunior toilet areas, hall/dining area, kitchen, reception area, disabled toilet and twooffices on the ground level. A staff room, resources room and special education needs learning base is located on the first floor.
Although we do not have a nursery, an independent playgroup is adjacent to the school and has sessions daily. Links between the playgroup and school are strong and the majority of the local children of playgroup age attend.
The school is within the Diocese of Exeter and managed by the Board of Governors. The Diocesan Education Committee and Devon County Education Committee support it financially
During the school year we usually try to provide KS2 children with a residential visit,joining with Parracombe School for the venture.
Additionally classes may have a day outing at other times of the year to places ofeducational interest, some in the local area and some further afield. At the time of your child's admission to the school we ask you to complete a form giving permission for them to take part in local visits.
In order to fund these activities, should there be any costs to meet, and if they takeplace during school time, we may ask you for a voluntary contribution. We must point out that it may not be possible for the visit to take place if there are insufficientcontributions.
However, no pupil will be treated differently if their parents do not contribute. Shouldthe visit involve board and lodging for overnight stays during the week, this cost can be charged and if so there are arrangements for remission of charges for those parents in receipt of Income Support. Further details will be issued when we notify you of any visits.
For each pupil, the Governors of Lynton C.E. Primary School would wish:-
Governors are like a Board of Directors and make decisions about how the school is run.
They meet at least once each half term and all parents are welcome to come along and observe the meetings. An approved copy of the minutes for Governors Meetings may be found in Lynton Library, on the School notice board or on the school website.
The Governors undertake these responsibilities at a policy making level and not at a day to day running of the school level. Also, an individual governor has no power to make decisions or take action - the Governing Body works TOGETHER.
The Governors have to consider much information and make informed and often difficult decisions associated with the school. However, be assured that these decisions are always made with the interests of the children as the main criterion.
The Governors prepare an Annual School Profile which is distributed to all parents andcarers and which can also be accessed via the internet.

Singular and Unfamiliar
Saturday, November 15th, 2008
I imagine that, for everyone, there is a certain angle or aspect of their job that gets them more juiced than everything else does. I am absurdly happy when collaborating with composers. I love the way professional & personal relationships evolve as the work coalesces and how, at the end of the day, I've contributed to a work of art's existing in the first place. Being what my teachers have always categorized as a "recreative artist," commissioning new music is pretty much the only way I can be involved in the historic reality of a work.
When Judd approached me about programming a concert around concept of virtuosity, I was struck by how variably this term can be applied. I ended up settling on works that I've commissioned over the past four years by Marcos Balter, Judd Greenstein, and Nico Muhly. All of the music I have programmed is appealing, evocative, and virtuosic, but the works, like their creators, are vastly different from each other.
The first piece Nico ever wrote for me (and, incidentally, my first commission) was this crazy duo for viola and cello that I played on one of my undergraduate recitals: Muhley Duet
It was a really well-constructed and beautiful piece, but one of the most awkward, un-idiomatic things I had ever seen. Everything was, well, technically possible, in isolation, but he had basically strung all that stuff in a row, creating a sort of ninja warrior-style viola obstacle course.
The lovely thing about working with composers is that music doesn't exist in this precious, untouchable format. We worked on the piece and came up with something playable, hard, beautiful, and musically whole. What was neat about that process, and so many subsequent ones, is that we both came out of it with a ton of really useful information.
Ever since then, I have been spending a good deal of time trying to sort out different degrees of hard. The question is now "is this hard because it's painful and unreasonable, or just because I've not really done it before." It's shocking how much falls into that latter category. There's this really specific type of harmonically precocious melodic writing that Nico does that I finally realized is not, abstractly, any harder than numerous etudes I've played, just singular and unfamiliar. With that in mind, Nico's been writing me a series of etudes featuring all that stuff. I'm going to play two of them on Wednesday.
I met both Marcos and Judd when we were all fellows at the Tanglewood Music Center. I'm pretty sure that I commissioned both of them over bourbon at The Smokers Table behind the dormitory. Both of those sloppy commissions yielded some incredible, gorgeous, and virtuosic viola music.
Marcos' compositional world is very specific. An insanely over-simplified description of his music is 'manic, active, & pianissimo.' He is virtuosic in his manipulation of color. When Marcos sends me a score, I honestly don't really know, at first glance, what it's going to sound like. His pallet is so nuanced, I'm really surprised by the resultant sonorities; he has me approaching my instrument in completely different ways than anyone else.
Judd's piece, Escape, is, in its own way, an old-fashioned, Major Work for the viola. It is virtuosic both in ways that I am familiar with, (the piece requires both the creative flexibility and stamina required to successfully perform a solo Bach work), and that are new to me (pairing up 70's minimal textures with pretty speedy harmonic rhythm, extensive groove-ish passages, fancy fingering, the list goes on…).
I feel unbelievably lucky to be the first violist to play all of this stuff. These, in my opinion, are seriously good pieces of music that'll hopefully be around for quite a bit.

Family Fun
4 Night Western Caribbean (Ft. Lauderdale Roundtrip)
Sail Date: March 17, 2016
Ship: Independence of the Seas
Cabin Type: Inside
Cabin Number: 8235
Traveled As: Family (young children)
Reviewed: 2 years ago
Review Summary
To start we have already booked our next cruise. The kids had so much fun and didn't want to get off the cruise was absolutely amazing. That being said there were some noticeable differences with the service on the ship. When we cruised in the past the service was amazing, this time the service was just mediocre with the exception of one of our dining room servers, she was amazing. But that was not the norm throughout the ship. They need to expand the Latin area, the one small bar they had with a band was always packed and the bar there is small and the bartenders were swamped, there were many agitated people there. Also tons of people love to dance to Latin music so if they were to expand this it would be a huge hit. I would recommend to everyone to get the drink package, it was defiantly worth the money. We thoroughly enjoyed RC and will go back again. Also people who complain about the spring breakers are naïve to the fact that its "SPRING BREAK" there are going to be tons of kids partying there is no way around that.

A new exhibit for animal lovers and art aficionados alike is coming to Danville on Jan. 11.
The "Wild!" exhibit, guest curated by local artist Connie English, will feature watercolors and sculptures of endangered species at the Village Theatre & Art Gallery, 233 Front Street.
The exhibition is set to be on display from Jan. 11 through Feb. 24, with a free, family-friendly opening reception taking place on Jan. 11 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
English is a Bay Area native and uses her artwork as a way to raise awareness for endangered species, especially elephants and parrots. Her mosaic installations can be found around the world, from the Boon Lotts Elephant Sanctuary in Thailand to a parrot rescue center in Virginia.
Closer to home, she currently has public mosaic work on display at Heather Farms Park and Mt. Diablo School.
Other artists whose work will be featured in "Wild!" include Joe Bologna, John Finger, Lisa Lee, Jen Starwalt and Karen Van Galder.
In conjunction with the exhibit, the Village Theatre will screen the Disney nature film "Born in China" on Saturday, Jan. 20 at 1:30 p.m. The screening is free and open to all.
The art gallery is open Wednesday through Friday from 12-5 p.m., Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Monday and Tuesday by appointment only. Admission is free, though donations are welcome.

MILFORD � The foundation has been poured and railings will be erected soon to complete a project years in the making that will provide the ability to fish at Louisa Lake to those in wheelchairs or�the physically challenged.
"All of this will be completed just in time for spring and the annual fishing derby in April," said Selectman Dino DeBartolomeis, who has been leading the effort for the handicapped-accessible fishing platform.
The railings will be put in place this month, according to DeBartolomeis, and some minor landscaping will be done to complete the project.
"This is just another gem for that area," DeBartolomeis said, noting the bike trail, picnic area and the lake itself are used by many in town. "It�s another opportunity for that location to be totally accessible and now people who need it will be able to use it."
The Commission on Disability first broached the idea several years ago, but could not get the funding from Town Meeting because of the cost.
Last year, Milford residents Hal and Marcia Rhodes, who have been donating to handicapped accessibility causes in the town for�more than�10 years, contributed $9,000 to get the project started.
Those funds, along with the in-kind services of Molinari Construction, which is�building the actual platform, have allowed the project to come to fruition, according to DeBartolomeis.
DeBartolomeis also credited the volunteer help of various town officials, including Building Commissioner John Erickson, Highway Surveyor Scott Crisafulli, Park Director Mike Bresciani, Town Engineer Vonnie Reis, former Town Engineer Mike Santora and Mike Nicholson from the Commission on Disabilities, in getting the project completed.
"Everybody was so fantastic and diligent. They really believed in the cause - that we should have fishing for disabled kids and elderly people who have trouble walking," DeBartolomeis said.
Contact Lindsay Corcoran at 508-634-7582 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @LacorcMDN.

Paper, Order, or Assignment Requirements
You are required to write an explanatory synthesis essay on:
Process Mapping Techniques & Applications.
Please note that the purpose of an explanatory synthesis "is not to argue a particular point, but rather to
present the facts in a reasonably objective manner". You are expected to explain to the reader the connections you
have identified about the topic from the material you have read. The synthesis is an opportunity for you
to make sense of the research relevant to the topic by picking your most significant scholarly sources and
articulating the relationships amongst and between them. (Please note that a synthesis is not a case of
summarizing each source one after the other in separate paragraphs.) If possible, pick sources that differ
from each other in some significant way (though they do not necessarily have to be completely opposed
to each other). Think about what the sources have in common, how they differ, and how they are in
conversation with one another.
Your synthesis will be an explanatory or informative one, not an argumentative one. Your introduction
needs to create a context for the reader to understand what will follow. Your additional goals for this
paper will be to incorporate direct quotations when relevant and to work on organization and
transitions as you move from one idea to the next to cue your reader about their connection.

Vajazzle from Rodrigo Films on Vimeo.
A blinged babe goes below the belt to take revenge on her binge-drinking boyfriend!
Charrlotte has everything planned. A candlelit dinner, bubbles… and bling for her nether regions, which she's gone to the trouble of de-fluffing, in an attempt to do one of these 'Vajazzle' things that she's heard about – an extra treat for her man. But Dave has forgotten their special date. He's gone on the rampage at the pub and is getting down with the boys. When Charrlotte finds out, she's furious and sets her mind on revenge, a dish best served reheated.
Vajazzle, by Rodrigo Film's filmmaker, Nathalie Boltt, is a sassy revenge-comedy for anyone who has gone that extra mile on a special day, only to dumped, ditched or left hanging. Starring Nathalie Boltt (District 9, Doomsday, Step Dave) and Jonathan Brugh (What We Do In The Shadows, How To Meet Girls From A Distance).

Each artistically anodized reel is one-of-a-kind. No two are alike because each is anodized individually using our own artistic metallurgical process.
You may order custom reels, reel seats, pliers and AbelBlade knives to match your car, boat, school colors, whatever. Let your creative juices flow.
**Custom orders can take up to 8 weeks**
Solid/Satin Finishes +$100 (except Black)
In addition to our world famous high gloss black coral anodized reels, we offer 11 different solid color anodized finishes to compliment your preferred
fly rod, share your pride with your school or pro-sports team fan colors, or simply because it is your favorite finish. We also offer a textured, non-glare
satin finish that is skullfully silicon bead-blased by hand for greater durability (available in 4 colors).
Satin Black
Blue III
Satin Blue III
Deep Blue
Deep Green
Satin Olive
Satin Slate
Tier 1 Finishes (4hr+ hand crafted) +$250
"These designes are actually painted by hand?" We get that question all the time when our products are on display at the fly fishing shows we attend.
And YES, they absolutely are. We developed a proprietary anodizing process that allows our art department to painstakingly apply, by-hand with a
paintbrush, the various colors on our products. While these finishes are "painted" on, it is important to know that the colors are actually anodized,
and will not chip or fade over time. Each hand-painted finish in our Tier 1 category requires a minimum of 4 hours artistic anodizing time to accomplish,
and can certainly be considered a one-of-a-kind heirloom reel.
Retro Carnival
Retro Fire
Retro Caribbean
Atlantic Salmon
Chrome Steelhead
Rainbow Trout
Wild Trout
Tier 2 Finishes (7hr+ hand crafted) +$400
The detailed studies we conducted in our art department have proven that some of the graphics we hand-paint take much longer to complete than others,
and only a limited number of our factory trained artists can execute our most difficult patterns. The complex designs in our Tier 2 category require at
least 7 hours of our hand painting, and artistic anodizing process resulting in an iconic product available only through the team at Abel Reels.
2019 Tiger Trout
2019 Peacock Bass
Brook Trout
Brown Trout
Skull & Crossbones
Artist/Signature Finishes (10hr+ hand crafted) +$700
We're honored to feature, and replicate the work of a few of the most talented artists in the fly fishing industry. Derek DeYoung, Andrea Larko,
and Jon Osiris are each great ambassadors for our sport, and we're proud to have teamed up with them to provide select examples of their beautiful
artwork on Abel Reels. As usual with Abel, we are not cutting any corners in order to bring you the best products available. The Artist/Signature Series
of our tiered graphics require a minimum of 10 hours of hand painting and artistic anodizing time, and in some cases over 14 hours to replicate. Our top
team members in the Abel art department utilize a single bristle paintbrush to accomplish sections of these difficult graphics, but in the end an
incredible piece of artwork is completed and worthy of the original artist's name engraved on the reel.
DeYoung Brook Flank
DeYoung Montana Brown
DeYoung Rainbow Flank
Tribal Salmon
Utilizing a precision German-made laser engraving machine, Abel craftsmen can add a unique finishing touch to your reel a tarpon, bonefish, tuna, rainbow trout, permit, steelhead
you name it.
we can laser engrave a corporate logo, law firm, construction company, college banner, or virtually anything thats legal. Looking for the perfect retirement gift? Our engravers can make that special presentation even better!
Couple our engraving techniques with our ability to replicate the nuances of fish colors and we can truly produce the fly reel of your dreams.
Laser Engraving:
Our 6061 aluminum reel handles are 1/8th inch longer than our standard wooden handles with a knurled finger grip. They are fitted with a hand-pressed DelrinÆ insert for the absolutely smoothest feel this side of vanilla ice cream. And just as luscious. Their weight precisely matches the weight of the counterbalance. They wont chip, fracture, splinter or snap no matter the temperature or conditions. They are, in a word, forever.
In Small, Medium and Large for various sizes of Abel Reels. Available in any solid color finish. Artistic and fish graphic are available for an additional cost.

"In wildness is the preservation of the world" --Thoreau
First introduced into Congress by Minnesota Senator Hubert Humphrey
Pass by Senate 73-12, and by the House of Representatives, 373-1.
Today: Original Wilderness concept--humans as visitors only--applied to only a small fraction of our public lands….
(about 9 million acres--but still, 7.5 x Rhode Island)
Jennie Lakes Wilderness Area
Total region with some degree of protection is 623 million acres: about 26 percent of our country.
Completely unmatched by anything in Europe, most other countries except perhaps Canada and Australia…
Not parks and gardens
Wilderness is defined as places where man does not dominate. Non-anthropocentric.
And yet… not an abdication, not just people sacrificing on behalf of other species.
Because humans benefit: from beauty, wisdom, we find in nature and the strength of character we develop.
National Environmental Policy Act (1969), signed by President Nixon on January 1, 1970
Established idea of an "environmental policy"
"To declare a national policy which will encourage productive and enjoyable harmony between man and his environment; to promote efforts which will prevent or eliminate damage to the environment and biosphere and stimulate the health and welfare of man; to enrich the understanding of the ecological systems and natural resources important to the Nation.
Thoreau, Roosevelt science was not basis for their concerns..

|Autopsy concluded that Yan had died of cardiac arrest caused by acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis(bangungot in Tagalog) while asleep. He was 27.
Different theories have traced the cause of bangungut to the following
1) Diet - Filipino food when digested causes autointoxication that affects the heart and pancreas main suspect ( Patis) or fish sauce
2) Heart problem - banungut merely a heart attack
3) A heavy meal before sleeping- The stomach excerts pressure to the heart
In the Philippines , most cases can be linked to acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis, Seen during autopsy. Others say that bangungut is no longer specific to filipino men. Other asian men have died in a similar way (Laos and Thailand) It will still remain a mystery until medical science can fully explain this phenomenon.
What is unique about the Philippines? from its people,food,culture and politics

I mean, Stacy and Clinton would have a field day with these gals, no? These are two of the American Girl dolls that currently reside in Anna's room. Kit is on the left and Molly, the right. I don't know what kind of scenario my girls put these dolls in to dress them this way, but every time I go into Anna's room, I can barely stand looking at them. (I know, anal much?) I mean, was Molly on a cruise and dressed up for "formal night" when the ship inexplicably started to sink? "Molly, quick, grab your life vest and run for the tender. And be careful with that ankle you sprained while participating in the limbo contest this afternoon on the Lido deck! I told you not to have that 4th margarita!"
I don't even know where to begin with Kit. A black turtleneck sweater with gauzy spring pants? Huh? Really. Really? This is why I still get final stamp of approval on what my girls wear to school.
So anyways, I was taking a basket of clean clothes up to Anna's room yesterday and could not ignore this travesty any longer. I HAD to redress those dolls. Anna and I drug out the bins of American Girl clothing we own (thanks Grandma) and sat down to make those dolls presentable again. We dressed Molly and Kit both in their school outfits and I for one, think they look much better.So end of story, right? Not really. You see, we own eight AG dolls and seven of those eight reside on a long shelf in Anna's room with Molly and Kit. Sooooo, Anna and I had to redress all the dolls.

I was right. I just knew our little baby was a boy.
My GP phoned last night to let me know the results of the genetic tests. Our tiny little angel babe is a boy, and he was perfect. Nothing wrong.
It was the blood clot that claimed his life and took him from us.
I will give him a name shortly, I have one name in mind but I want to do a little bit of searching before I decide.
It's harder to cope, knowing what sex our baby is. But at the same time, it is a great comfort. I can name him and honour him, even though I miss him and love him and want him back.

Gorjuss on a Wet #docraftsmonday
Hi everyone, I hope you've all had a great bank holiday weekend. Mine was pretty quiet although I managed to fit in seeing a very good girl Mod band, get stung on the scalp by a wasp and go to a baby shower. However, I also managed some crafting which I was pleased about as I must admit I haven't felt very creative recently. I know that happens to all of us sometimes. I just need a holiday from everything which thankfully I am getting at the end of this week horay!!
Anyway, here is a Gorjuss make for you today. I never get tired of these girls….
This is quite a simple make and it's my take on the ombré card trend. I often use the Gorjuss images separately so I thought it would be nice to use them together. My crafty friend Sharon Dobson has added a brilliant Gorjuss card to the Facebook gallery today, please check it out, it puts mine to shame!
I've used this card for my #docraftsmonday make. Don't forget to join in by adding your projects on Facebook, Twitter and your docrafts gallery to spread the docrafts love!
Have a great day,

David Beckham - A good player and a legendary brand
"The spotlight will always be on me, but it's something I'm learning to live with as the years go by." – Beckham
An enigma, a phenomenon, a name that all know and football fans love, David Beckham has since a decade and a half dominated in some way or other the world of football. But has he really been a great player? I mean, Zidane is great, Scholes is great, Messi is great. Was ever Beckham in the same league as them? I don't think so. At his peak, he was one of the best in the world, a runner up to World Player of the Year award in 1999. But sustainability of that form was relatively short. What then makes the former United, Madrid and Galaxy player, the name he is? Or rather the brand he is?
"Beckham cannot kick with his left foot, can't head the ball, can't tackle and he doesn't score enough goals. Otherwise he's all right." - George Best.
He was declared again the richest footballer by Forbes, for having a net value of 175 million dollars, 60 million more than Messi. How? He has announced that he will donate all his PSG earnings to charity, neither is he at his peak, in fact he has not been at his best since past 10 years. Of course, he is still the best player I have seen over a dead ball, a set piece specialist par excellence, and can still get in 'Hollywood' balls. But his game on an aggregate has fallen. So how does he manage it? The answer lies in the fact that Beckham is now more of a brand and less of a player.
Let us look at his career subjectively. After his half-line goal against Wimbledon, Beckham became a household name. The Premier League's drive to modernize itself had started. Beckham ticked all the necessary boxes. And so he was made the poster boy for the Premier League. At a time when footballers hardly appeared in advertisements, Beckham's face was plastered on Brylcreem packets across the world. United gained a lot from his brand value, indeed it is basically Beckham that got United the initial following here in Asian climes. Winning trophies every year helped, not only the men liked him, children copied him and women adored him. And therefore, he was first choice for a range of products, for a variety of target audience. While his marriage helped him gain more popularity in the States, his football allegedly suffered because of it. Victoria allegedly was the catalyst for the eventual bust up between Sir Alex and Beckham.
"He was never a problem until he got married. He used to go into work with the academy coaches at night time, he was a fantastic young lad. Getting married into that entertainment scene was a difficult thing – from that moment, his life was never going to be the same. He is such a big celebrity, football is only a small part." – Alex Ferguson speaking about Beckham's marriage in 2007.
I tend to agree with the Scot here; while before marriage he was only a good value advertisement, after marriage everyone wanted a piece of him. It is believed by many still that the only reason Madrid bought him was to bring in revenue. And that they did well enough. Shirt sales increased by 20% during his time there. The tours to the far east became money-spinning bonanzas. Of course, there were other stars. But then it is difficult to compete with the English name who is only second in popularity to Coca-Cola in Japan.
Then in 2007-08 season, MLS giants LA Galaxy bought him, and it was here that the true power of the Beckham name showed. Everywhere he played attendances rose. Advertising and on-air revenues increased for LA Galaxy. He shot American football into limelight and is the reason that other waning stars such as Henry and Keane decided to ply their trade across the Atlantic.
I don't for a moment think this is undeserved, in fact he deserves all of it. Beckham has great attributes, he has a face that the camera loves, he changes hairstyles more often than he would change his socks, and he married a Spice Girl. In addition, Beckham has enjoyed an untarnished and uncontroversial off-field career, has the public image of a good father, a good husband and a great player.
Consequently, brands like Adidas, Pepsi, Brylcreem, Police Sunglasses, Gillette, Motorola, Vodafone, Armani, Sharpe, Burger King have employed his services for marketing purposes. And now even the People's Republic of China have been added to the list. The Chinese want the game to get better and Beckham could be crucial as children, the main focal point of any such plan would idolize him. And China is hoping that the trick that worked in USA would work with them too.
"Whereas Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan are respected, Beckham is loved, adored, worshipped in some parts of the world. He has an almost godlike status." - Ellie Cashmore

I started a project with some of my birthday yarn - the Freedom Spirit.
I have selected the French Market Bag for it. I'm also using a couple of other contrasting yarns from my stash to make the Freedom Spirit go farther. The sides of the bag will be 2 - 3" longer than the pattern calls for.
I also started my first lace project - the Swallowtail Shawl from Interweave Knits. I'm using the Naturally Dawn yarn I bought at the Knitter's Frolic. It's not a hard pattern but it does require 100% concentration. It's definitely not a project I can do while at our Sit 'n Knit or when Skip's trying to talk with me.
While adding the new project to Ravelry I realized I had 12 (!) Works In Progress (WIPs). Yikes! So I had a good look at them and reassigned a couple to hibernation and finished another project. So I'm down to 8 WIPs.
I also have caught Skip's cold. I haven't had a real cold in several years. I had the beginnings of one at Christmas but it never really settled in. I'm so annoyed. I think I'll go blow my nose...

Ten Things Our Children Teach Us
December 04, 2011
As parents, we are anxious to teach our children. We have never thought that we can learn from them. But the fact is that the children can teach us so many things.
As adults we think that we know everything and we are not ready to listen to children. Normally parents are anxious to teach their children. To learn from them will be a difficult task for them. Although most of the times the children may seem like little devils, they are true angels that teach us a lot about how we can make our life a better one. Yes, most of the time they do not have a clue as to what they are doing, but unknowingly and without a clue they allow us to explore things that we tend to forget.
Ten things our children teach us
1) Learn to look at life as fun
One of the important things we can learn from kids or even toddlers is about healthy lifestyle. For them every activity is fun. Kids move around actively all the time, not because they know about health benefits, but because it is fun for them to do so.
2) Every day dawns the child fresh
Everyday when a child wakes up, it is a new day for him, a whole new world to explore. With the curiosity to find out new things, the enthusiasm, and the energy with the start of each new day is just breathtaking for the kid. We should learn to begin a day fresh trusting completely in the Providence of God.
3) Living in the present
Children always live in the present. They never worry about the past or bother about the future. But we adults have our thoughts become increasingly focused on either the past or the future instead of the present. We build up grievances about things that had happened and worry about things that may never happen.
4) Learn to pay attention
"Look dad", or "Look mom." Kids want the presence of their parents. It is not the question of mere physical presence, but it refers to total undivided attention. They need the caring presence of their parents that makes the other important and worth. Sometimes we do not pay attention to people, not even those whom we love.
5) Being inquisitive
Kids never pretend to know things. If they do not know they just ask or show that they do not know. Kids are never bothered with their lack of knowledge or qualifications; but they try even if they have never done something before. Kids do not feel shy to ask.
6) Transparent innocence
How innocent the kids are! But we lose this innocence as we grow. We are engulfed in the adult world with so many commitments, plans or routines, etc. when we are with kids we can feel that innocent spirit grow in us. There the guilt and shame are ignored. Everything seems to be new and shining. This chance to rediscover can be a magnificent gift for us to learn from kids.
7) Perpetual growth
Kids are always growing. They are aware that they are growing. Hence they oblige their parents to get to know themselves in depth. It is possible to lie to a husband or to a wife with hope for success; but to lie to a child is impossible. Children learn by osmosis; their conduct reflects that of their parents. They show their emotions spontaneously. Their trust in their dad or mom is total.
8) Respect and patience
Kids in real life are never the same as those of our dreams and hopes. They rebel against our expectations that at times hinder their growth in accordance with the internal laws of their own selves. They have their own rhythms of development. As adults, often we say how we ought to be, we impose what has to be done, we judge, etc. We have to be patient and respect the aspirations of the kids.
9) Grow in love
Children love easily. By their attitudes and expressions they are great procurers of love. They influence anyone easily. If their relationship is poisoned, it will run through their bodies also. It will fill them with anguish and uncertainty.
10) Kids are the blessing of happiness
Kids are blessings of happiness to us. We are the blessing to them. They fill us with happiness and we fill them with happiness. Our family thus becomes an earthly Paradise. Jesus Christ said, "Unless you change and become like little children, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven."(Matthew 18: 3)

That gave me a headache just writing it!
I started having migraines when I was about five. They can be hereditary, so when Jill started complaining of headaches I was on alert. I also didn't think it was all that unusual. I mean, everyone gets headaches all the time, right? Wrong. Growing up, struggling with severe migraines, I have a skewed perspective on normal. Some days it is just a plain, run-of-mill headache. At least, three times a week, I had migraines. I was taking so many treatment pills (ones you take at the onset) that I knew I had to do something. This year, I finally relented and went on a daily. Twice daily. At what is apparently a high dosage. I am finally experiencing some headache free days. Some. The migraines are down to once a month. Much improvement. But just as I was finally getting relief, Jill started showing symptoms.
At first she complained only of a headache. Then she complained about light, asked to wear sunglasses often, sat in dark rooms, shielded her eyes from sunlight. The sun, too, is my enemy. The vomiting and stomachaches started soon after. And, the most telling moment? Jill mentioned having "colored polka dots" in her vision. I see these also during migraines. So bad that sometimes I can't walk. I loose peripheral vision. I can't look at things that are white. I hardly ever talk about that part of it. In fact, I hardly ever talk about any of it. I know she has not heard that from me. As the pain of the headaches increased, Jill's sleep pattern became more erratic. I didn't connect the two until I did some research. I since learned that periods of irrational/emotional behavior and sleep disruption/insomnia can all be part of the period leading up to the point of the headache. That the migraine is the end of the cycle. I never knew all of this. I have been diagnosed for so long that this research was not even available. I never had gone back and relearned. I recognized some things in myself, realized I could be heading these headaches off LONG before they start. And? Apparently, this could largely play into my mood. Times I have assumed that I have suffered from depression, could actually be linked to these migraines instead. Ask my mom, she could tell you when I am going to have a big blowup with a friend or at school. She could sense the mood change. The irrational behavior brewing under the surface. The build-up. We assumed it was emotional. We never knew it was neurological. I read many accounts of people describing this kind of event. I could never put into words the way it felt in my head, but as I read those, I knew they understood. It was part of the migraine cycle. My refusal to be medicated for so long, in hindsight, was probably a horrible idea.
Today, Jill finally has her appointment. I will do things completely different with her than I did myself. I will insist that she be put on a daily medication. I know that it will be hard for her to adjust to. I know that it might make her "different." It certainly did with me. But ask anyone, and they will tell you it made me less irritable. I sleep better. I concentrate better. I just can't drink carbonated drinks. Not that bad of a trade-off, if you ask me.
It just seems so strange having Jill be the one needed medical attention. With Emmi it seems like no big deal, even over much bigger issues. This. Has me completely undone. She is my "healthy" kid. The one without problems. I am not supposed to be taking her for MRIs and talking to neurologists about her. It just seems so wrong. And that in itself seems wrong.

Oh man! I am glad you are getting her help. You know I have suffered from headaches since young. Thankfully, they subsided as I got older.
Madison has been suffering from headaches(boderline migraine IMO) for a while. Her pdoc thinks it is her meds. He switched them to ones that do not have that as a side effect, though. However, she is still getting the headaches. Her mom keeps insisting it is the meds, and refuses to hear me when I bring up the possibility that she just suffers from headaches. @@ Meanwhile, Madison has bad ones every few days.

They have decided that the insomnia could signal something more than a headache, so they have scheduled an MRI. They sent me home with pain meds to get her through the weekend. Fun times...
Sounds like Madison's mom... oh nevermind! Waste of breath!

Because I almost never had headaches of any kind and didn't even know children could have migraines, it was several years before we recognized that what you were having were migraines. Then, the medications typically given caused side effects you couldn't tolerate or wouldn't tolerate. We didn't know at the time that migraines can cause permanent neurological changes.
And we sure didn't know about the aura effects, did we? You're right that I could tell when something was building and won't it be nice that Jill won't suffer as much of that or of the pain as you did? You know I'm not much of a person to push medications, but when they're needed, they're miracles.

Oh wow. I didn't know half of this stuff. I have suffered with mirgaines my whole life. They are heriditary here too. My great-grandmother had them, my mom had them, and both my brother and I suffer from them. I pray neighter of mine has them. Jimmy has had them before but they are few and far between.
I was on a preventative 3x a day med when I was 12 or so. It was a 6-month trial and helped a lot for quite a while.
I now just take something when they come one and they seem to be more hormonal these days. I tend to get them around the time of my period. I never had them while preggo and have only had 1 or 2 since having MacKenzie, but I have a feeling that as soon as I stop nursing they will return.
Anyways...I know how awful they are and I can't even imagine watching my little one suffer!! Good luck, hope she starts feeling better soon.

A pile of stones and pegs is all that is left of the Little Stone House near Creswell in Harford County. The centuries-old building was demolished just as a county committee was beginning an effort to protect it.
Chad Shrodes, a preservation planner with the county's Department of Planning and Zoning, said the Historic Preservation Commission met Jan. 27 and voted to work with the new property owners to protect the house, but the next day the owners, who were not part of the meeting, demolished it.
Shrodes said the demolition had nothing to do with the meeting. "It was a coincidence that it was torn down the next day," Shrodes said.

Last entry, I posted about my newly acquired FED 1 camera and provided some history. This evening, I spent some time removing the lens, and checking out the FED in more detail. I discovered the good and the bad…
The Good:
- The shutter curtains seem lightproof to the eye and the shutter mechanism works.
- Cosmetically, the camera is in good condition for its age.
- The Rangefinder seems close to being accurate at both infinity and close range, but I will need to check further.
The Bad:
- One of the shutter curtains is crinkled and the shutter speeds are likely innacurate.
- The Bulb setting is unreliable and the curtains get stuck around the lathes when the shutter button is pushed down for more than a few seconds.
- The aperture ring on the original Industar 22 lens is completely stuck in place, despite the lens itself being in very good overall condition for its age.
In the photo above, you can see the deformation affecting one of the shutter curtains. The other curtain seems to be in good condition. I suspect this may be partly why the Bulb speed setting is unreliable. It's also likely that the shutter mechanism needs some tightening. The best solution would be to remove the entire shutter assembly and replace the tired old curtains with thinner modern material, like satin. But, it's not a job for the faint of heart!
You can see the Rangefinder arm stretching out just behind the top lip of the M39 screw mount. It's actually in very nice clean condition. If it requires some adjustment, I'll need a small pair of needle-nose pliers to slightly adjust the tip at the end of the arm.
Here's a more detailed view of the chamber:
You can clearly see the decades of gunk stuck to one of the rollers. A good clean and shutter curtain replacement would fix this.
The FED 1, like early Leica cameras, is a bottom loader. The bottom plate of the camera is removed in order to load and remove film. The film leader needs to be cut in a particular way to make this job easier. Unfortunately, my FED 1 didn't come with a film spool, but the seller is sending it on to me at no extra cost. In the photo below, you can see how film would be loaded.
I'm not entirely disappointed with the state of the camera. It's actually usable. I'm going to try and remove the shell casing so that I can clean up some of the gunk inside. Removing the shutter assembly is in another league of difficulty altogether, so I'll need to fire up the courage for that task!
At the very least, I've cleaned the outside of the FED with Isopropyl Alcohol. Once I remove the casing, I should have easy access to the film winder gears. They are covered in old grease. Lubricating them with something more modern should fix the stiff film winding mechanism. For further repairs, I'll probably need tools that I don't currently have at my disposal.

But, move me out of the golden area of maybe a pint and a half an hour, and I get very drunk, very silly, and very ill. This is also something that has my father chuckling as he remembers me overdoing it once when I was about 20. I, however, remember vividly the one time he over did it.
At the time, my parents had a favourite watering hole, the Queen's Hotel in Crystal Palace. It was just up the road, and in the summer within walking distance and in the winter within driving distance (before it was politically incorrect to drink and drive). They had a lot of friends who would welcome them with open arms and a pint of Double Diamond or Harp so this was where they'd haunt of an evening. This was also the place where they decided they'd like to welcome in the New Year, presumably the new decade, but as the saying goes, "any excuse." They did both get very very drunk, in fact so much so my mother had to drive my father home (if you'd experienced my mother's driving, you'd understand) where he complained she was going too fast when in fact she was doing about 8mph. When they got home, me, BLS and Cynthia were all still up, watching the Scots make New Years Eve a festival for being Scottish and drunk. My mother, I seem to remember, went into affection overdrive, telling us how much she loved us all. This is known as the "You're my bes' mate *hic*" syndrome, and she had entered this stage in spades. My father, however, was best described as green. Almost unable to stand, he was half leaning, half holding on to the door frame, eyes-a-bulging, making the statutory *boilk* noise. Us kids were sent up to bed, and it was whilst lying there, I heard something I'd never heard before.
My father, now in the bathroom, was talking to God on the big white telephone. One loud "grrrrwwwwwwooooooffffffftttt" noise could be heard after another, as almost the entire evening's refreshment returned in big style, only to be wasted being returned to Thames Water's fine sewage system. I said to BLS at the time, "I'd never get that drunk."
How wrong I was.

J.K. Rowling is happy to pay tax in Britain
The writer spent years living close to poverty before her tales of boy wizard Potter were snapped up and published, turning her into a literary sensation overnight, and she'll always be grateful for the hand-outs she received as a struggling single mum.
Rowling says, "I received a subsistence from the government for a relatively short period of my life and I pay a lot of tax and I feel one of the reasons I stay and pay (and) why I'm not based in Monaco is I feel I owe... I think my country helped me.
"There are places in the world where I would have starved."
And she admits her years of hardship inspired her new book, The Casual Vacancy.
She explains, "I couldn't have written this book if I hadn't had a few years where I had been as poor as it's possible to go in the U.K. without being homeless. I had friends who helped me, but I had no friends or family who were in a position to give me a house... We were on welfare for a couple of years."

Angels and You, Part 3 The Other Archangels...Jophiel, Chamuel, Gabriel, Raphael
March 21, 2017
Hosted by Terry Canady and Thom Schumacher
[Download MP3] [itunes] [Bookmark Episode]
Episode Description
Almost everyone knows Archangel Michael. God's General. The Prince of the Heavenly Hosts. Vanquisher of Lucifer and his rebel angels. But there are other great archangels who we may not know as well as Michael. Jophiel, for example. He and his angels help us to contact and sustain our relationship with our Higher Selves. Then there's Chamuel whose focus is helping us experience more love. Gabriel, archangel of the Anunciation, has the principle role of helping us recapture the spirit of joy. And Archangel Raphael, whose twin flame is Mother Mary, Queen of the Angels, focuses his legions' efforts on helping us heal ourselves and others. There are other great archangels, as well, and all of them play important roles in helping us make progress on the spiritual path. Best of all, we can learn how to contact them and work with them to accelerate our progress on the road home to God. For more, tune in to THE OPEN DOOR this Tuesday at noon MT, 11:00 a.m. Pacific and 2 p.m. Eastern

Terry Canady and Thom Schumacher
Terry Canady, singer/songwriter, was raised in Des Moines, Iowa, and his performing and recording career has spanned nearly five decades. Recording a #1 hit record, "Mama Bear," in Nashville, Tennessee in the early 1970s was the highlight of his career and eventually led to the creation of his own record and publishing company, Saint Adrian, through which he has produced a number of records and albums, most recently a patriotic CD titled "Give Me Liberty." He continues to accept narration, commercial and voice-over work from his home in the beautiful Paradise Valley, just a few miles north of Yellowstone National Park.
Thom Schumacher is a copywriter, ex-seminarian, singer, percussionist, talker, plays a mean penny whistle, lyricist, RE broker and, most importantly, a student of the ascended masters. He has been gifted with an exceptional family, survived 3 marathons, navigated some very potent astrology (double Pisces!) and continuously juggles a myriad of creative challenges, not the least of which is hosting The OPEN DOOR. The threads that run through the crazy quilt of his life are love of God, Life, wife, family and gratitude for all the opportunities along the way to learn and grow.

ALL the winter the north wind roamed on the hills; many trees fell in the park, and at the end of February Woodview seemed barer and more desolate than ever; broken branches littered the roadway, and the tall trunks showed their wounds. The women sat over their fire in the evening listening to the blast, cogitating on the work that awaited--them as soon as the weather showed signs of breaking.
Mrs. Barfield had laid by a few pounds during the winter; and the day that Jim cleared out the first piece of espalier trees she spent entirely in the garden, hardly able to take her eyes off him. But the pleasure of the day was in a measure spoilt for her by the knowledge that on that day her son was riding in the great steeplechase. She was full of fear for his safety; she did not sleep that night, and hurried down at an early hour to the garden to ask Jim for the newspaper which she had told him to bring her.
'Oh, Jim, do be quick.'
'My pocket is torn, ma'am. Here it is.'
'He isn't in the first three,' said Mrs. Barfield. 'I always know that he's safe if he's in the first three. We must turn to the account of the race to see if there were any accidents.'
She turned over the paper.
'Thank God, he's safe,' she said; 'his horse ran fourth.'
'You worry yourself without cause, ma'am. A good rider like him don't meet with accidents.'
'The best riders are often killed, Esther. I never have an easy moment when I hear he's going to ride in these races. Supposing one day I were to read that he was carried back on a shutter.'
'We mustn't let our thoughts run on such things, ma'am. If a war was to break out to-morrow, what should I do? His

Van Vlahakis
American Entrepreneur – Earth Friendly Products
Eftichios "Van" Vlahakis is the founder of Earth Friendly Products, the maker of ECOS™ environmentally friendly cleaning products, and a visionary eco-pioneer who helped define the green movement. Van started Earth Friendly Products to make cleaners that are safer for people and the planet, so future generations can enjoy the beauty of our Earth.
Van began making safer cleaning products in 1967, early in the infancy of the green movement. Born on the Greek island of Crete in 1935, Van endured the hardships of German occupation during World War II before emigrating to Chicago in 1953. Working as a chemist, he soon saw the negative health effects of toxic chemicals, so he created his own company dedicated to making safer cleaning products. Working out of his garage, he based his formulas on the cleaning power of natural ingredients such as lemon and vinegar that had been used for centuries in his homeland of Greece.
Van led Earth Friendly Products to achieve many firsts in the green movement and in corporate social responsibility: the first pH-balanced, phosphate-free auto dish gel; the first cleaning products to be 1,4-dioxane free; the first company to achieve carbon neutrality at all of its manufacturing facilities; the first company to adopt the U.S. EPA Safer Choice certification on its products; and the first company in the U.S. to pay a minimum wage of $17/hour.
Under Van's leadership, Earth Friendly Products achieved carbon neutrality in 2013 through a series of major sustainability initiatives, including the switch to 100% renewable energy, which saves over 53 million pounds of carbon dioxide annually. In addition, all five of Earth Friendly Products' facilities are Zero Waste Platinum certified, diverting over 95% of their waste from landfills and incineration.
As a U.S.-based primary manufacturer, Earth Friendly Products is still committed to making green cleaning effective and affordable. Today, the company manufactures 200 environmentally friendly cleaners that are thoughtfully sourced, free of formaldehyde and dyes, pH balanced, readily biodegradable, and never tested on animals.
Although Van passed away in 2014, his legacy continues today through his daughter Kelly Vlahakis-Hanks, who now leads Earth Friendly Products as President and CEO. Van was an extraordinary visionary who dedicated his life to creating a healthier, more sustainable world, for which he was granted an honorary doctorate in Social Justice from Roosevelt University in 2012. With an indomitable spirit and exceptional generosity, he epitomized the American dream, inspiring everyone he encountered to dream bigger.

I am Throwing my Hat in the Presidential race For 2008. I am announcing a long anticipated announcement for the bored,frustrated,apathetic,angry, and oftenly ignored masses. I am not an expert on politics, but within the next two years I will increase that knowledge base and at the very least my knowledge will surpass your typical chimpanzee though maybe not your average gorilla (gorilla's are smart ask Jane Goodall). I know some of you realize there has never been a 6 foot 7 inch tall, jewish, dreaded, spiritual healing, freestyle rapping, couchsurfing, nomad president. And there might be good reasons for this, but that was all in the past and we live in a different age my friend and I am representative of this new age or rather a forgotten age.
Of course; running for the presidency is based on two conditions that must be met. I must be considered at least a B+ tier celebrity by people magazine or some equilvalent and I would need popular support from largely unpopular or oftenly ignored people. I want this election to actually be entertaining and consist of issues that will make most people very uncomfortable. I am going to be the man showing up with his homeless friends to everyone's hoilday dinner. I will bring these oftenly ignored problems into everybody's living room. And just when you think this election will reach its peak in akwardness I will bring the family members out of the mental instutions for a long over due visit. (you know your rarely talked about cousin who walks around the house with his penis hanging out of his pants). Nobody will be left forgotten in the 2008 election.
My largest voting base will be people under the age of 18, illegal immigrants (all 12 million), and people in prison and those recently released from prison; and any other under represented person that you can think of. I want to be a candidate of social lepers and people that are generally apathetic or disinterested. My campaign will be run in a way that is condusive with the times we live in. We will use a voting style similar to American Idol in that people will choose my vice president and other cabinet members as they would on American Idol over the internet or a 1-800 phone number. The money raised for the campaign will go towards various charity causes such as after school programs, organic food programs for poor people, irrigation projects in 3rd world countries and holistic medicine programs aimed at helping become more aware of their life choices. Instead of talking about what I would do as president I would be doing these while I am running for the office.
I understand all of this sounds like Custards Last Stand, the ALamo, or that scene in Youngs II where DOc (played by Keifer SUtherland) has just been shot and goes guns a blazing so that at least some of the others may make it out alive. And that is my point just like Tom Petty I will stand my ground and I won't back down because there ain't no easy way out folks and it is time we do what's right. I understand most people lose interest and I can't blame you. It is like being a vegeterian and told that your options are chicken or beef for dinner. I would also obstain from voting. Heck I almost voted for myself in 2004 and the only thing that stopped me is that I had not campaigned hard enough and I did not really want the job. Being president is like taking over a fraternity house for a summer lease after they just trashed it following their last party and then finding out that the foundation is sinking; the roof might blow off if the wind gets to strong and just for extra laughs they left you with 3 months of unpaid utility bills ( 9 trillion debt).
I am not interested in having the nicest room on the Titanic, but instead I would rather change the ship's course of direction and fix the leaks that have sprung on board. I know that this campaign is a shot in the dark but you can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart. THis gun's for hire even if we are just dancing in the dark. We all need to start dancing in the dark because the laughs on me. If you got to stay hungry this 6 foot 7 inch jew is just about starving toinght (Interlaced with lyrics paraphrased from A Jersey Prophet Named Bruce Springstein).
As far as I am concerned anybody residing in this country should have a say in its future. Voting should be a habit that includes everybody as soon as you are tall enough to pull the lever. It is young people who are inheriting our debt and our problems. Drastic times call for drastic measures. Besides Texas in their infinite wisdom has been known to try 13 year olds as adults for murder. By that logic they should at least be allowed to vote before you send them to death row. Young people are this nations future and the future needs to step up to the plate now.
VOte Te'DeVan Rocketman Wacha Kurzweil for president in 2008!!1!!!!!!!!
And Let The Good Times Roll
I might just be the lunatic You Need!!!!!!!!!!!
I am doing this because I need to tell my children and my grandchildren (who will be living with me in Austrulia if this does not work out) that I did my best to save my country from a devastating plague of insanity. I know that I won't legally be old enough to run; (You have to be at least 35 and I will not even be 30 at that point in time) But if I have discovered anything in politics is there is a major reoccurring theme; Which states rich old men lie and young poor boys die and all we do is buy buy buy and nobody has time to cry cry cry over spilled oil. We have to break this pattern and I think that I might be the person to help this manifest, but I need your help all of your help. This country belongs to all of us including the White House which should serve as guest house to the citizens of this nation especially the homeless children.
In conclusion I don't actually want the position of president. I completely and totally mean that, but if I don't take it then some other ass clown will end up holding the office. I can't be bought off because my lifestyle is to cheap to buy and all people are valuable to me whether or not they can legally vote or not. Since when does saving a country from destruction have anything to do with the law it has to do with our heart and spending money on construction and not destruction. Just know in 2008 there is a good chance there will be an actual alternative.

Woman airlifted after being trapped under rolled ATV
A WOMAN has been airlifted to hospital after becoming trapped under an ATV south-west of Mackay overnight.
A Queensland Fire and Emergency Services spokesman said two crews responded to the accident at a property on Grantward Road at Hibernia, between Capella and Clermont just after 7pm.
He said crews worked to free a woman trapped under an ATV that had rolled and were at the scene for close to four hours.
Queensland Ambulance crews also attended with a spokesperson confirming a woman aged in her 50s was airlifted to Rockhampton Base Hospital with a shoulder injury.
She was in a stable condition.

I left my house and headed out to Deb's this morning around 9:45. Got stuck in tunnel traffic and sat there for almost 30 minutes. What a pain in the butt! I didn't even get out to VA Beach until about 10:45 or so. We got the job done, though...loaded the van, delivered her stuff to her new digs, and by 11:20 I was on my way back home. Quick stop at Kroger's for some food, then home to make lunch. After lunch we went out to Lowe's where I tried to find new blinds for the backdoor. No luck, but we did find a replacement mailbox (because mine lets in the rain and I hate soggy mail) and Pappy had to put that up this afternoon. I also came home with two raspberry bushes. Photos below to prove I can handle manual labour. The bushes are now planted in the herb bed where they will receive full sun and hopefully be happy.
I'm finally sitting down. What a darn long day. I still have to make it through dinner, homework, baths, and bedtime rituals. It's almost 80F here today but very, very windy. There are supposed to be storms rolling through later this evening. Kids are outside loving life. It's so nice, I wish we could grill and just sit outside to eat.
Here are a few new photos: the Home Sweet Home hanging came from a Yule swap I participated in. A magic bunny washcloth I made for a friend's baby. My hands, dirty from gardening (love it - my OWN garden, finally!). William looking at the new raspberry bushes. Tinna smiling. All garden photos by Delaney.

Are you running on Thanksgiving? I am! A Journey To Thin is hosting her 2nd Annual The Thankful Healthy Blogger 5K. Simple enough.
I have always wanted to do an organized 5K on Thanksgiving but it is one run that I don't want to do alone. Normally my husband has said no to them so I don't sign up. This year I think I would have been able to talk him into it but he is injured. Back in May when we ran our first Half he not only smoked it with an amazing time of 2:09 and this was with him running the first two miles with me at my slow pace. but he also injured his knee and finally last week he went to the Dr. and after an MRI was diagnosed with a torn Meniscus. Boo hoo, he has to make an appoint with an orthopedic surgeon to determine the next step for recovery as he wants to get back to running soon.
Wait, where was I? I tend to go off on tangents....oh yea a Thanksgiving 5K - if you want to join in the fun hop on over to A Journey To Thin and sign up for her Thanksgiving 5K. She has a great prize pack and who doesn't need to burn a few calories before you get your eat on! I happen to have my last run before my half schedule for that day - so I am covered.
Do you plan to join in the fun? Or do you have a Turkey Trot planned already?
Don't forget to check out my giveaway - Free stuff is always good!

Speaking of John Lennon's haircut, Apple (the computer company) finally made a deal with Apple (the record company) and the entire Beatles catalogue is now on iTunes. Even as one of the world's biggest Beatle fans, I will go on record to say Apple's teaser page was a mistake:
Claiming you'll "never forget" news that big is kind of crazy, especially given the kind of batshit culture we're in, but I took it as part of Steve Jobs' personal love for the band. By the way, I figured it had to be the Beatles announcement because of the "another day" reference… Another Day (1971) was Paul's first solo song, derided savagely by John on How Do You Sleep? later that year – basically, two geniuses having a spat that ended in reconciliation, a little like the two Apple companies themselves.
But what was the reaction to the Beatles finally coming to iTunes? Unmitigated, cast-iron, vituperative SNARK. You've never seen such cockful disdain amongst the digiterati, and surfing the comment sections of articles like this or this show how angry your internet-dominating friends are about it. From "A Bajillion Hits" we get this piece of comedy and the always-too-cool Gawker has an article called Why You're Too Cool for the Beatles on iTunes, in which they make fun of people who are too cool for it, while also stating why they're too cool for it.
Before I begin my rant, I'd like to go back to "A Bajillion Hits" and copy, verbatim, their self-description from the site:
BajillionHits.biz is the Internet's leading social media and tech lifestyle site for influencing influencers with engaging, next-gen strat that's disrupting the traditional paradigms of innovation… @BajillionHits will help you learn how to win the Internet many times over.
Okay, fine. I've had to write paragraphs like this for companies as well. Catchwords, energy-driven text, outside-the-box fetishism, I totally get it. And yes, I also understand all the internet techno-fanboys wanted something "better" from Apple, like "streaming from the cloud" and "iOS 4.2 for the iPad".
But what is lost is this: the Beatles are exactly what started all of this in the first place. Long before the internet reduced all creative writing, music and art to the word "content"… there were the Beatles, four broke lads living inside themselves, unwittingly erasing the blackboard of modern music and rewriting it with absolutely no musical training.
They weren't the only ones, of course, but they brought rock music into the realm of art, and indirectly (or directly) spawned almost every band you love today. Either way, they helped make pop music important enough to carry around on… well, your "content" delivery device, be it a Walkman, an iPod, an Android, or the Next Big Thing everyone was waiting for.
Bajillion Hits might be "disrupting paradigms with next-gen strat", but without the actual creators of beautiful things, all of this tech shit is empty, rare-earth-metal sucking garbage. Without artists, there is nothing to put in the "cloud", there is nothing to download, there is no reason to get version 4.2 of ANYTHING.
Without "Modern Family", "Hey Ya", "Mad Men", "Inception", Wilco, Phoenix, "Wall-E", and the White Album, there is no goddamned reason in the world to own a fucking iPad, or an iPod, or any media delivery mechanism. These internet commenters, with their high dander and seen-it-already boredom, are the definition of spiritual death.
They don't understand that the Beatles being on iTunes is a big deal to those who aren't sprinting alongside them, a whole generation of kids who aren't interested in the dice-roll world of torrenting, and are happy to buy things if they are available and inexpensive. They are the massive part of the market that perhaps Steve Jobs understands, and if the entire decade-long catalog of Beatles songs are now available to them, then maybe it will be the same as when my brother Kent gave me Rubber Soul when I was 11 – a day I will never forget.
