Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Inhibitor (Lnfliximab, Adalimumab) Treatment for Crohn'S-like Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Chronic Granulomatous Disease: A Phase I/II Study Assessing Clinical and Immune Responses to Treatment and Genetic Influences
Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) is an inherited immune disorder involving decreased
phagocytic superoxide oxygen radical production, resulting in increased susceptibility to
infections. Furthermore, there is a predominance of immune-related inflammatory problems in
a subset of CGD patients, such as the inflammatory bowel disease (CGD-IBD). CGD-IBD is often
complicated by obstruction, strictures, fissures, fistulae, and extra-intestinal problems.
In fact, it is clinically and histologically indistinguishable from Crohn's Disease (CD),
another inflammatory bowel disease that affects the general population. Crohn's disease (CD)
is a prototypic T helper cell type 1 (Th1) immune disease. Since CGD-IBD bears such close
resemblance to CD, it is possible that CGD-IBD is also immune-based. Furthermore, mice
studies also support a primarily immune basis for CGD-IBD. However, currently there is
little data on this Crohn's-like CGD-IBD in human patients. Treatment for the Crohn's-like
CGD-IBD has been primarily oral or topical corticosteroids. Antibiotics have been
ineffective and stool cultures typically do not identify clear pathogens. Many patients with
the Crohn's-like CGD-IBD disease remain steroid-dependent, thus new therapeutic regimens are
This is a Phase I/II study that will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Tumor Necrosis
Factor Alpha Inhibitor (Infliximab or Adalimumab) in CGD patients with symptomatic
Crohn's-like IBD. Infliximab and Adalimumab are standard-of-care treatments for moderate to
severe CD, with extensive experience using these agents being well documented in terms of
safety and efficacy. Preliminary reports from ongoing studies of CD at NIH are encouraging
in inducing remission. We will also evaluate changes in immunophenotype and cytokine
profiles of peripheral blood and colonic lamina propria lymphocytes following treatment. In
addition, we will evaluate the immunophenotype and cytokine profile of blood and mucosal
cells in CGD patients, with or without IBD, to determine the CGD-specific cytokine profile.
Specific cytokine profiles have been observed in different genetic immunodeficiencies,
despite similar IBD clinical manifestation.
Documentation of clinical status will be performed using the Crohn's Disease Activity Index
(CDAI). Potential effects of genetic variation (including CGD mutation type) on the
expression of IBD in patients with CGD, and their responses to treatment will also be
assessed. The long-term goal of this study is to establish better or alternative treatment
modalities with low risk profiles for CGD patients with Crohn's-like IBD.
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
To determine whether treatment with infliximab is safe in CGD patients and does not cause a significant increase in serious infections.

From infancy to adolescence: the new agents of the world?
From infancy to adolescence: the new agents of the world?
In social science, agency is the capacity of individuals to act independently and to make their own free choices. This blog will aim to give a general sense of what agency is and how it can be fostered in children of a variety of ages. The information given can be applicable to schools, parents and intervention work.
Is it important for children to have a sense of agency?
Firstly, you might be wondering whether or not the idea of agency is important for children, or whether the responsibility of making choices should be left with adults. Nevertheless, the importance of children's autonomy is being more readily recognized and the United Nations has now included several articles on children's responsibility including "the right of the child to freedom of thought, conscience and religion". Therefore, this indicates that children should be encouraged to think for themselves, namely have a sense of agency (Lundy, 2007). The effects of such encouragement have been supported, with research showing that children with a sense of agency achieve more academically, have better social skills and higher life satisfaction (Kumpulainen, Lipponen, Hilppö, & Mikkola, 2014).
What age can children truly make their own free choices?
There are different viewpoints on when children develop agency; being able to make their own choices and accept responsibility. Some argue that 18 years marks the time of adult responsibility. In the eyes of the law, children aged as young as 10 have criminal accountability. Others argue that as soon as children go to school they should be able to make their own choices. In terms of giving children a sense of agency however, there are methods which can be used even with infants. These methods allow children free will and to develop all important decision making skills.
How can we foster a sense of agency?
So now we have learned that fostering a sense of agency can help improve healthy child development, even as young as infants, the next step is to think of ways to encourage this ability, some of which are listed below.
- From infancy, agency can be encouraged by allowing the infant to make small choices such as what to wear each day, (even before children can talk, you can follow their gaze to see which item they prefer).
- Children can be given jobs to foster responsibility, as shown in the diagram (right).
- Teenagers should be encouraged to think about their life choices such as colleges, university or jobs. Their opinions should be taken into account and by encouraging decision making from early on in life; the skill should be more developed in adolescence.
- It is important to bear in mind the children's opinion when conducting research; as by including a simple questionnaire we can unlock ideas beyond the numerical data and give children a sense of control over their views.
- Another idea not to be forgotten is that simply by providing for the child, you are encouraging a sense of agency. By the child's needs being met, they feel that they are worthy of what they want and are therefore more willing to try.
At One-Eighty, we help to foster children's agency by asking them to think about the targets we aim to reach within the intervention, therefore making sure they are involved in the decision making progress. We also have a midway review to ensure that the young people are still happy with the targets and that we are helping with what the young person actually wants to achieve. Finally, we aim to ask all young people for feedback about the service.
The ideas discussed are just the beginning, but a necessary first step. In a world where we often feel like we have so little control, it is important to empower the young people around us whenever we can.

very hard to get anything that is within her reach. whether that be my
glasses, my camera, or a toy. She has a sweet personality, and
enjoys being held and played with. She has a beautiful smile, and
enjoyed playing with me and Enoch when we came to visit.

I love the new picture! She is so cute! My husband was looking at plane tickets just to see what we need to plan for and did the same thing- 12,000.00 per ticket! He said he about had a heart attack and was trying to decide which one of us was going to travel... I think the cheapest he found were 3000.00 so 2,000.00 sounds really good!
I love the update! How cool is that?!

New York author Matthew J. Glavin will bring his lively storytelling and blend of fact and fiction to the Oswego Public Library and help us kick off the 26th Harborfest on July 24 at 6:30 p.m.
The Friends of the Library will provide light refreshments and Matthew will be selling and signing his book, Adirondack Treasure: The Bonaparte Legacy, in the Erik and Emily Cole Community Room after his talk.
Matthew will discuss the blending of Joseph Bonaparte's time in the North Country with the legend of hidden Spanish Royal Treasure from when King Joseph, Napoleon's older brother, had to flee Spain in 1813.
Adirondack Treasure stars Joseph Benton and Alicia LaCroix.
Joseph has a 200-year-old bible handed down from his famous ancestor Joseph Bonaparte.
Inside the bible is a cipher that family legend says leads to a magnificent treasure stolen from the Spanish Royal Treasury when King Joseph fled Spain.
Alicia is an attorney for Adirondack Environmental Watch and fighting the development at Big Tupper Lake in which Joseph is an investor.
This exciting treasure hunt and murder mystery blends historical facts with a terrific story and complex characters creating tension pitting environmentalist vs. developer and friend vs. friend.
The search involves riddles and ciphers and leads to murder, romance and intrigue that will keep you up at night wondering yourself . . . could the legend be true?
The 'Bonaparte Legacy' is the first installment in the planned Adirondack Treasure trilogy.
Adirondack Treasure – Isle Royale is due out in the fall of 2013.

Corvettes at Carlisle 2013
Andy Bolig
Corvettes at Carlisle, the world's most popular all-Corvette-themed event, frequently highlights unique and very special cars, always honors its founder Chip Miller and annually welcomes some of the top names within the hobby.
The 2013 event, August 23-25 at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds, continues the tradition and this time around, the unique cars are even more unique, the Miller tribute is even more special and the guest list is supersized.
With a three-day event that's so popular it historically hosts four days of action, Corvettes at Carlisle is putting a heaving emphasis on the 50th anniversary of the 1963 production line of cars. As was the case ten years ago when, as part of his final Corvettes at Carlisle, Chip Miller showcased 53 1953 Corvettes, his son and event manager Lance Miller will do him ten better this year with a 63 ?63s display. Along with this particular ?63 display, the 2013 Chip's Choice display will also feature some of the best 1963 Corvettes.
One particular car that is coming to Chip's Choice is very special as it's a one-of-a-kind Corvette. This car, a Corvette Rodine concept, was built for the Paris Auto Show and since its birth until at least 2008, was on display at the Pininfarina Museum in Italy. At that point, the car was sold at the famed Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale (Arizona) auto auction. What really makes this car special is that it is the ONLY steel-bodied Corvette ever created. In addition, the car is based on the '63 Corvette chassis and has a 327cid/360-hp V8 under the hood.
Joining this car at Carlisle will be the Asteroid Corvette. This '63 was delivered straight to the King of Custom cars George Barris of Barris Kustoms. The new C2 Corvette was already a fresh redesign from Chevrolet and Barris made a radical transformation and redesigned the car with an extended nose cone that had headlights positioned behind the bladed grille and custom headers exiting behind the front wheels. He also removed the split window, filled in the rear tail panel and opened up the rear wheel wells to accommodate big wheels. The paint job was out of this world and was painted in a heavy metallic copper finish that would blind you in the sunlight.
New to the event this year will be a showcase of the brand new 2014 Corvette Stingray. With Corvette Engineers onsite, enthusiasts will be able to get their first up-close look at the car, plus talk directly with the designers of this machine. There will also be walk around sessions focused specifically on the C7 and it will be one of the pack leading cars as part of the always-popular Downtown Carlisle Corvette Parade and Street Party.

Emergency Management Plan
This organization maintains the precept of being prepared to
deliver services to patients, in the event of a disaster
situation that may impact patient care but only until 'care'
can safely be curtailed. Since this organization's services
are not lifesaving there will be, in the view of ultimate
patient and employee safety, specific times when the leader
and others will concur in halting services.
The goal of this plan is to establish processes and systems
that allow for the implementation of procedures; responding
to a variety of emergency situations or disasters that allow
for the safety of patients, staff, and others.
The following are objectives of the facility:
-orientation and ongoing education of staff in the
ability to respond to various emergency situations
-assurance of capability of the staff to notify proper
authorities outside the organization of an emergency by
dialing appropriate authorities
-Providing an emergency communication system during
disasters and emergencies
-Providing identified alternative sources or plans for
essential utilities and equipment.
-Able to safely evacuate the total or partial facility.
-Managing patients, staff and others safely during
disasters or emergencies, including but not limited to
control of patient information, transfer and discharge
of patients, re-scheduling of hours, complete
discontinuation of services, providing haven during
disasters, and other situations that may arise
-Review and evaluate the scope, objective, and
effectiveness of emergency policies as needed, but no
less than annually.
This organization has both critical processes; essential
functions that must be maintained during an emergency event
and non-critical processes; which are not essential to the
functioning of the organization during an emergency event.
Since the organization is Office Based Surgery the organization may choose to cease providing
services based on any emergency event that could jeopardize
patients, staff or others. To assist in completing the
continuity of the overall emergency management plan, this
organization maintains a disruptive action/mitigation plan;
based on analysis of critical processes and the
organization's hazard vulnerability. This plan is posted in
pertinent locations and is reviewed and updated as
information becomes available.
-Emergency Management is the responsibility of the
Safety Committee and the Medical Director.
All patients would be transferred to the Hospital under the
admitting privileges of the Medical Director.
All employees receive orientation and in-service on several
emergency and disaster situations etc, including job/roll
specific scenarios.
The organization maintains a posted sheet throughout the
facility with instructions for individual emergency
Further in-depth policies are located in this Volume, Volume
7 in the Disaster Preparedness section.

Bourne, Texas
Today, we walked around Bourne, Texas. It has the potential to be a great "cute little tourist" town with a genuine "Old West" theme. It has lots of historic buildings.
On the way back to Fredericksburg, we saw a cloud of black smoke ahead of us on Interstate 10 as we approached Comfort, Texas. Traffic on I-10 started to slow up, so we moved over to the service road. As we came over a rise, we saw the problem - a wildfire. The police had shut down the main road, although they kept the service road open.
Getting closer.
Getting a little too close. We are in the westbound lanes and that fire is burning right up to the edge of the eastbound lanes. It got a little warm, to say the least!

This article originally appeared at http://www.beckershospitalreview.com/quality/data-driven-collaboration-improves-quality-in-acute-care-5-study-results.html on June 1, 2016.
In 2008, Premier launched its Quality, Efficiency and Safety with Transparency, or QUEST, collaborative to improve care quality and reduce patient harm in acute care settings. The results of the collaborative were published in the Joint Commission's Journal on Quality and Patient Safety.
The QUEST program involves getting hospitals to contribute data, share learnings and work together to develop best practices among acute care healthcare organizations across the country. To compare care quality and patient safety from before and after the program, the authors of the study examined data from 356 members between 2006 and 2015.
Here are five findings from the study.
- The average cost per hospital discharge decreased from $8,296 to $8,217 between 2013 and 2015. The median decreased from $8,459 to $7,895.
- Use of evidence-based care measures improved from a mean of 77 percent and a median of 79 percent in 2006 to a mean of 95 percent and a median of 96 percent in 2015.
- On average, observed-to-expected mortality improved from 1 percent better-than-expected outcomes to 22 percent better-than-expected outcomes throughout the course of the study.
- The QUEST safety harm composite score showed a moderate reduction between 2009 and 2015.
- The observed-to-expected readmission rates also improved from 5 percent better-than-expected in 2010 to 8 percent better-than-expected in 2015.
"Analysis of…data suggests that when key practices are implemented, patient outcomes are improved. These findings may provide the essential link between research knowledge and clinical practice and allow staff to identify the critical aspects and care pathways essential for driving and sustaining [quality improvement]," the authors concluded. "With a model built on continuous learning that is shared across all members of the collaborative, QUEST is able to quickly adapt and disseminate best-practice information."

(MITCHELL) - Lightning struck a home in the 500 block of Clark Smith Road Saturday causing extensive damage.
Firefighters from Marion, Shawswick, Williams, Indian Creek and Huron Volunteer Fire Departments responded to the blaze at the home of Rosellen Reynolds at 5:46 p.m.
According to Marion Fire Chief Paul Gillespie, Reynolds was at the one-story home with her mother and three dogs when they smelled smoke and then noticed the flames. They were all able to escape unharmed.
The family attempted to call firefighters, but the phones were not working and cell phone reception is bad in that area.
A neighbor notified the Lawrence County Sheriff's Department, who then alerted firefighters.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, but the homeowners and other witness lightning strike the home.

text: I think this will make us a much better defense... Giants: Coughlin makes his first move Saturday, January 10, 203 BY KIMBERLY JONES Star-Ledger Staff In his third day on the job, Giants coach Tom Coughlin made his first hire and one of his most critical decisions yesterday. Coughlin named Tim Lewis defensive coordinator, always a pivotal position on a staff where the head coach is offensive-minded, as Coughlin is. "His style will establish toughness and an aggressive style of play," said Coughlin, who hardly seems the type to embrace a read-and-react philosophy. Lewis, unexpectedly fired Tuesday as Steelers defensive coordinator, said he couldn't refuse a second chance to work with Coughlin. In 1978, Coughlin, then a Syracuse assistant coach, recruited Lewis, who decided to attend the University of Pittsburgh. "I wasn't going to miss the opportunity to work with him twice," Lewis said. "We are going to stop the run and pressure the passer, and we're going to do that in a number of ways." Coughlin has said that controlling the line of scrimmage is one of his primary goals. Lewis, 42, spent the past four seasons as Steelers defensive coordinator after joining Bill Cowher's staff as defensive backs coach in 1995. His defense ranked seventh in the NFL in 2000, first in 2001, seventh in 2002 and ninth this season. Lewis told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette he was surprised to be fired by Cowher and said the decision was not football-related. He declined to elaborate. Cowher offered the paper this explanation: "I think with Tim, it was just more of a philosophical thing, and we talked and we had a lot longer talks." Lewis had a particularly bad day Tuesday, when the Falcons rescinded their offer to him to have a second interview for their head-coaching job. The Falcons, who had called earlier in the day to schedule the second meeting, reneged after learning of Lewis' firing. Now it is Lewis' job to rebuild a defense that has been awful lately. A revival, and quite possibly overhaul, are in order for a unit that ranked 29th in points allowed, 25th against the pass and 22nd in total yards per game. Lewis will have NFL sack leader Michael Strahan, the All-Pro who had 18 1/2 sacks this season, to anchor the defense and, provided they are healthy, cornerbacks Will Allen and Will Peterson should be better than the Steelers corners. "His presentation when I met with him (Thursday) was outstanding," Coughlin said. "He has had great success ... and I have watched him develop because we competed in the same division" when Coughlin coached the Jaguars from 1995-2002. Like the Giants (4-12), the Steelers (6-10) had a disappointing season. But Pittsburgh's defense held up considerably better statistically than the Giants' did. In 2001, Lewis' defense led the league in allowing just 258.7 yards per game and utilized an attacking, blitzing scheme that was as effective against the run as the pass. Lewis, who coached a pair of All-Pro linebackers in Steelers Jason Gildon and Joey Porter, may have the chance to refurbish that position with the Giants; outside linebackers Dhani Jones and Brandon Short are free agents, and the organization might have a decision to make on middle linebacker Mike Barrow. Under Lewis, Gildon became the Steelers' career sack leader with 77. This past season, Lewis favored more of a cover two -- a two-deep zone -- at least partly to compensate for the inadequacies of cornerbacks Dewayne Washington and Chad Scott in coverage. Lewis played cornerback at the University of Pittsburgh and was a first-round draft choice of the Packers in 1983. A neck injury ended his career in 1986, and he has since coached on the staffs of Texas A&M and Southern Methodist and at his alma mater before joining the Steelers. Although Lewis is the first member of Coughlin's staff to be hired, indications from Giants Stadium yesterday were that tight ends coach Mike Pope and assistant special teams coach Mike Priefer, who coached with Coughlin in 2002, would be retained. They are believed to be the only two holdovers from Jim Fassel's staff.

Brights! But your lovely block inspires me to go get out of the box!ReplyDelete
Love the block - I just finished a kaleidoscope quilt and was amazed how easy those shapes were to work with. I really liked all the layouts you showed. My favorite palette with the winter months coming is dark fabrics - navy, hunter green, gold, russet red. Thanks so much for the chance to win!ReplyDelete
My palate varies with my mood, the season, the pattern..... I'm all over the place. I have sections of brights, primitives, solids, funky, sedate.....truly all over the place!ReplyDelete
Thank you for such a generous give away!
Jewel tones are my favorites today! I love so many color combinations, my favs change frequently!ReplyDelete
My favorite colors to work with are the earth tones/fall palette (red, orange, gold, brown, etc.) The trees here are at their peak right now and dizzying in their colors!ReplyDelete
I would have to say that my favorite colorway is primitive, at the present time. But, this changes over time. Hard to say what I will like in 5 years. Thanks for sharing your block with us and some design ideas and the chance to win.ReplyDelete
What a great block. I love the 30's colors. This block would work so well.ReplyDelete
wow! look at all the quilts you could make with your great block. So cool!ReplyDelete
My favorite color palette is primitive but I love working in all colors.

Such a great block with so many different choices. I love your colors because these are my colors that I love. I would love a chance to win a copy of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks, Volume 4 for myself. I just see so many different blocks that catches my eye that I want to quilt now.ReplyDelete
Your block is beautiful!! I loved the previous issues of 100 Blocks, and the new one looks just as great! Can't wait to see it.ReplyDelete
I love any combination of color with white as a contrast.ReplyDelete
Favorite color combo is red black and white or anything with yellow, especially yellow's and blue'sReplyDelete
My favorite palette right now is working with reproduction fabrics. Although I change depending on the quilt that I want to make. Like your block. Thanks for a chance to win.ReplyDelete
I love the ice cream reference to your blocks. I've seen that type of block before but not done in strings and I love it! Your placement options really opened up the possibilities! Colors at the moment are blue and green. I think I need a trip to a warm beach.ReplyDelete
Right now I would pick a primitive palette. I love the grayed color ways. I love what happened to your palette when you added the pistachio green.ReplyDelete
Love your block and all the settings for a quilt. Thanks for the chance at winning a copy of the magazine. HugsReplyDelete
Love your block!!! I tend to switch between warm colors and bright modern prints. Right now, I'm just loving purples, like eggplant etc!!ReplyDelete
More than a color palette I just love batiks. I like pastel ones or neutral ones, but I am most often drawn to bright ones. I sometimes refer to myself as a batik snob! I love your block and all the potential it has for amazing quilting when put into a top. Thanks for the chance to win!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 8, 2011 at 10:13 AM
Is one of those designs that a lot of different color combos would look lovely.ReplyDelete
I prefer the Neapolitan though.
My favorite color palette is BRIGHTS!!!! The happier and brighter the colors are the better I like it. I love blues and purples together with a touch of sunny yellow!ReplyDelete
Lime green is my current favorite, so your quilt design with the lime border is very cool for me!ReplyDelete
I love string quilts and this is awesome... and such interesting settings... thank youReplyDelete
Oh, my! This is one block that I will have to make. I love the different settings and the illusions created! My favorite color choices tend to vary with the seasons...right now I am into the fall colors. Give me a couple weeks and it will be all Christmas colors!ReplyDelete
I'm drawn to primitives but I almost always make bright quilts as I sew for World of Charity Stitching. I like to give bright, cheerful quilts to the nursing home we donate to. Brightens their day!ReplyDelete
I seem to gravitate toward the Civil WAr repo's or primitive's most of the time but once in a while it's fun to sew with some really bright and gawdy fabrics, especially for children.ReplyDelete
Oh, I LOVE this block!!! I thank you for providing tons of different patterns one can make from this block alone.ReplyDelete
I have a few favourite colour combos but I guess my fav at the moment is black/white and turquoise. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Really nice variation of how the block can fit together!ReplyDelete
I love chocolate and pink together, especially batiks and civil wars - I know, opposite sides of the spectrum. Love your block...thank you for contributing and showing different settings.ReplyDelete
I just love your block!! I like string piecing in general, but your block is just great!ReplyDelete
I just love this block - can't wait to get my hands on a copy of the issue so I can get going!ReplyDelete
Fun options with your block! I like jewel tones best.ReplyDelete
Neopolitain and Supomoni are my all-time favorite ice cream flavors! What a great way to make use of those scraps we always seem to have.ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh! I'm supposed to pick a favorite color pallet? Well, I just finished a civil war quilt top; I have 3 college quilts in the making; and I'm putting together some depression era blocks. Needless to say, that is a variety of colors. So I guess you could say all of them because whatever I'm working on at the moment is my favorite color pallet.ReplyDelete
Wonderful block...and so much fun. I love brights, pastels, jewel tones...the possibilities are endless!ReplyDelete
Looking forward to seeing the volume 4 issue!
Very pretty! I keep going back to blue, green, white with yellow touches.ReplyDelete
I am always attracted to dark, rich colors like navy, burgandy, hunter green, and walnut brown. But I really like the colors in the neopolitan colorway of your block. I may have to start expanding my color horizons!ReplyDelete
Awesome block! It looks great in your bright colors. I usually pick something with red/wht/blue. But can see where the brights might work better for this.ReplyDelete
I love dark rich colours mixed with earth tones, mainly in batik fabrics.ReplyDelete
I really like all the layout options your block provides and that you can highlight any color palette.
I was born with a natural tendancy toward dark colors. I really like the Civil War fabrics because of that.ReplyDelete
Your block has soooo much potential. I enjoyed looking at the variety of settings that you posted.
Linda in Southern Illinois
My favorite colors are brights. I love your blog. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
After years of liking the darker colors--everything a little muddy or grayed--I'm now drawn to "clears". It coincides with an infatuation with Kona cottons, so perhaps that makes sense.ReplyDelete
Congrats on being included and thanks for showing all the different variations. I love that.
BRIGHTS! Although I've been dabbling a bit into reproduction fabrics lately. Contratulations in being selected for the cover. Your block probably goes together real quick as its made with strings. Such a creative way of using up scraps. I'd have to say the Spumoni version, 1st layout is my favorite. 1st I just finished a pink quilt so I'd need some help from my green strips and the border finishes off the design perfectly! Thanks for a chance to win. SandiReplyDelete
Jacquelynne, I really love your creativity and commitment to the Lord. I also love jewel-tones for a color palette. Thank you for cluing us in to the hops coming up! Blessings, Kd ~ www.KdQuilts.comReplyDelete
Love seeing all the different setting options with your block. My favorite color palette is blues--many shades of blue. Thanks for the chance to win!ReplyDelete
Wonderful block--so versatile. I prefer brights on one end of the spectrum, and earth tones on the other. With some black, white, and red thrown in! Congratulations.ReplyDelete
I love pastels and neutrals, colors that are soft and restful to add calm to a busy life.ReplyDelete
Love the block - as I have never done any string blocks...and if I look at it as just one block...it might happen...but then again, I love all the quilt setting that you've done. Drat. And you want me to actually choose a favorite color combination? Really? How about a favorite color - that would be coral...so with brown, or with green, or with gold, or with blue...ReplyDelete
My current favorite palette is gold, orange, yellow, brown, with a dash of turquoise.ReplyDelete
I love brights!ReplyDelete

I like brights for myself and the more contrast the better.ReplyDelete
Love your block and your color options are a hoot-add green and get spamoni! lOL

I am a bright color person,,,,love your block my favorite,,,,,ReplyDelete
I like pastels - actually country pastels scarlette, firstname.lastname@example.com

I like the palette of medium brights I think..a little fiesty punch with colour but not a "knock out" blow. The trick for me to keep it all in balance!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 8, 2011 at 3:31 PM
Sue at firstname.lastname@example.com I realy like a bright vivid palette,but that doesn't always work with the project. I like using strip piecing and your block looks like it will a fun one to piece, also like to wide variety of setting that give so many different looks to the same basic block.ReplyDelete
I love your block. So many ways to use it. Thanks for sharing it with us. My pallet? soft pastels.ReplyDelete
Wonderful block - my favorite color palette right now is green, brown, yellow, black - like Origins by Basic Grey. Hoping that Kansas Star will accept my comment too as it has not been doing such lately. Would be delighted to win a copy of your book. Thanks for the giveaway.ReplyDelete
My tastes change with the seasons. Today I like Primitives, but I also love brights and pastels. Thanks for the giveaway!ReplyDelete
Your block is so pretty! I love just about any color palette, but right now, brights are the in-thing with me. Thanks for the giveaway!ReplyDelete
Great block! Right now my color palette is anything with gray. I just love all the new fabric lines that incorporate gray as a neutral.ReplyDelete
I have seen a lot of string type quilts in the past months and like them quite a bit. I love the brights the best, especially the oranges and yellows.ReplyDelete
Please, please, please, please, pick me!!!!, I'm jumping all aroud the place, love your block and defitinely I'd give a try in country colors, which I love!!!!ReplyDelete
Love your block! i tend to gravitate toward autumn/CW colors. I'm trying to expand my stash. LOL Thanks for the fun!ReplyDelete
Great block - looks like a good stashbuster!! I tend toward a fall palette, although I'm trying to branch out from that!ReplyDelete
I love bright pastels and love your block and all the layouts you showed using it. Would love to winReplyDelete
this magazine so I can make it.
I like brights, I make a lot of children's quilts so I use all colors in brights. Thanks.ReplyDelete

very nice block-lots of fun. I like pastels and primitivesReplyDelete
Great block!ReplyDelete
I like brights
Blogger ate my comment twice! Really like your block and my most recent color combo is yellow, green , brown, and black - think Origins by basicgreyReplyDelete
Beautiful block and beautiful colors! I always thought my favorite palette was pastels but I see a lot of brights in my stash!ReplyDelete
i like brights, but i also like old fashioned calico type prints. i'm not picky!ReplyDelete
You had me at "neapolitan" hehe. Love your blocks and loving the pinks and browns lately. Also the aqua and red. I've been sewing with more folk colors in the past, like Thimbleberries but lately I've been stepping out of my color box.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the giveaway and a chance to win. Love to win your book as well.
What a great versatile block. I too thought of icecream as soon as I saw it.ReplyDelete
My favorite is blues, blues, and more blues. It varies on what I like with it, but currently white, cream, and browns.ReplyDelete
What a great block! Super way to use up scraps, although I love the neapolitan colors you used. Primitives and deep fall colors are my favorite.ReplyDelete
Love your block & your ice cream colors make it so fun! I love bright colors in a quilt so I'd probably make your block in M&M ice cream flavors! thanks for the chance to win Vol 4ReplyDelete
I really like your block, and can't wait to make it. I love prmitive color palettes. But I also love cool blues and greens, those that would remind a person of the ocean.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 8, 2011 at 6:09 PM
Your block is so sweet! I'm drawn to the colors you chose but tend to decorate my home primitive or civil war...you know, Old antique sort of colors. Call me drab! LOLReplyDelete
I love your block. It's got some space for some beautiful quilting designs. I don't think I have a favorite color palette. It changes on a whim for me!ReplyDelete
My favorite color palate is scraps-light, dark and medium. I've leared a lot about color by making scrap quilts. I'd love to try your block with my scraps.ReplyDelete
I normally love the civil war type traditional color palettes, but currently am working on a quilt for granddaughter that is in pinks and browns. So, I was especially interested in your block with the same colors, esp. since I'll need to make another pink and brown for her twin sister! I'm also a scrap piecer, so your block fit my favorite way of piecing quilts--making do with scraps and strings!ReplyDelete
I like pastels, but with something darker or brighter to make the design pop.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the opportunity to get some free inspiration!
- AnonymousNovember 8, 2011 at 6:30 PM
My favorite colorway seems to be earth tones - greens, browns, etc.ReplyDelete
I am Candy Soehren at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I love your block and I love the colour scheme you have used - strawberry, vanilla and chocolate. Yummy and chicReplyDelete
I think your block is really cool! I also dig the way you related the colors to food...way to go, lol. My favorite color pallet is jewel tones and specifically batiks. They really get the imagination going :o)ReplyDelete
thanks for the giveaway.ReplyDelete
First, I love Neapolitan ice cream. Second, my favorite pallet is the whole spectrum. Right now it's autumn colors, but soon it will be Christmas colors. It changes with the seasons and holidays.ReplyDelete
I like the colors you chose for your block. My favorite colors are blues and yellow, but lately I've been drawn to red and aqua and other brights.ReplyDelete
Lovely block. Congrats for being included in the magazine.ReplyDelete
I love jewel tones the best...although right now I can't seem to get enough aqua colored fabrics! :)
Very pretty block. I'm not sure that I have a favorite palette. I love color and that means that it depends what catches my eye.ReplyDelete
Your block is great! My favorite color palatte would be (for lack of a better description) fall colors / earth tones. Thanks so much for the chance to win! Judy WReplyDelete
Love your block! The colors are great, too! Pink is my favorite color and I love the brown with it.ReplyDelete
I love pastels, guess that is why I love the 30's repros, too!
Sandy A
Beautiful block! My favorite color palette is jewel tone. TamsynReplyDelete
I love the colors in your cute block. I really like working with bright colors. Thanks for the chance to win a copy of the magazine.ReplyDelete
Great block! Love the Spumoni idea! I think my favorite color palate is anything with pink. lolReplyDelete
Thanks for showing the different settings! I love quilts that show that secondary pattern in the negative space.ReplyDelete
I'm kind of a scrappy type gal. I like your block. Thanks for a chance to win a copy of this magazine.ReplyDelete
I love pastels, but am also partial to cool colors.ReplyDelete
You are making me hungry with these ice cream inspired colors! I am all over the place on my colors - use a lot of orange but a lot depends on the recipient and the season and how the fabric calls me.ReplyDelete
Neopolitan--my favorite. lol I love brights!!ReplyDelete
Your block has so much potential - scrappy or controlled colors - the sky's the limit!ReplyDelete
I make quilts for children and my favorites are to mix bright crayola crayon solid colors with bright kid's novelty prints. Thanks for the opportunity to win a book!
I love all colors in a quilt so I guess my pallet is scrappy. Your block is wonderful. I have made something similar using scraps and it works well that way too. I also love the secondary "star" that is created. Would love to win a copy to try your version. Thanks for the opportunity to win.ReplyDelete
Love your scrappy block....so cute!ReplyDelete
My mom says she likes Blue, brown, gold or orange. Love to see what each designer creates. Thanks for the chance to win.ReplyDelete
Great names for your blocks. I really love the Neopolitin but adding the green into that is awesome looking too.ReplyDelete
I really am not picky and like all color palettes but I am drawn more to the bright colors lately. I LOVE Red and Aqua especially.
A wonderful block that can be done in different styles, love being able to change them with fabric choices. I love primitive style, but I also love art quilting too, so it depends on my mood.ReplyDelete
Wow, amazing how many different looks your one block can make.ReplyDelete
I am partial to country colors that are found in the Kansas Troubles lines.
Love the block. I love earthy colors but also would love to make a black and white quilt too.ReplyDelete
Great block. Really does look like ice cream colors. lol. I'm a new quilter so right now I'm using bright colors. There is just so many gorgeous fabrics. Thanks for the giveaway.ReplyDelete
Congratulations on making the cover.I usually stick with more earthy/neutral shades.ReplyDelete
My go to palette is anything in the Civil War repro line. then it's bright pink and lime green.ReplyDelete
Great block! Such interesting design possibilities.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the chance to win extras.
- AnonymousNovember 8, 2011 at 10:28 PM
Oh pick me.ReplyDelete
So many possible variations. I think I prefer a bold colors palette--hot pink, acid green, electric blue, vibrant yellow, etc. maybe with black and/or white.ReplyDelete
I like brights in a kaleidoscope of colors. Thank you for the giveaway.ReplyDelete
I love brights!! Most of my color combo's are in a rainbow color way. I just like the look, it is so happy! I love your block. I can see it in many color combos.ReplyDelete
I love brights and your spumoni fits right in with them. Love it.ReplyDelete
i'd have to say brights, i guess; my old eyes have unripe cataract now and it's easy to see brights. used to love tonals ... shades of one tone of a color - any green! moss, clover,jade.ReplyDelete
thanx for the opportunity to win a copy!
I don't think I could pick just one color palette. Right now I am using a pink, purple and blue color palette in pastel for some quilt blocks I am working on. I have also used bright batiks in greens, purples, turquoises,and blue a couple months ago and loved that so I really can't say what my favorite is. I love colors of all different shades, tones and brightness and could probably never come up with one palette that was my all time favorite.ReplyDelete
my favorite color has always been :scrappy:ReplyDelete
I have been saving 1 inch scraps to make a scrappy version, I love your last layout, now i have something to aim for. cw
I love the designs that appear when your block is put together in a quilt. Just fabulous! I go for brights just about every time.... can't help it.ReplyDelete
Brights are my colour choice. The designs on the cover look great.ReplyDelete
Just the addition of that green fabric really made the block and quilt sing!ReplyDelete
I love bright colors, especially against white. And I love the scrappy look of your blocks too.ReplyDelete
I love purples, jewel tones, and brown and pink combos!ReplyDelete
I like to stir my Neopolitan ice cream up into one flavor...YUMMY stuff! Congrats on being on the cover!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 9, 2011 at 5:10 AM
My dad always used to "chop, mash & stir" my Neopolitan ice-cream and it was just like a flavoured Mr Whippy!! Am loving purples, oranges and lime greens at the moment!!ReplyDelete
I love brights at the moment. I seem to change every once in awhile:)ReplyDelete
Love your block! This is a block that I can see making! I'd like to use cool tones like blue, grey, bluish white.ReplyDelete
Very smart, versatile block! Primitives are my FAV!ReplyDelete
I love your block! What a great name for it, Perfect! Congrats on being in the 100 Block issue!ReplyDelete
I love quite a few different types of colors combinations. I love the Civil War look, 30s, batiks, muted country, brights and clear modern prints. It just depends on the quilt and the mood I'm in.ReplyDelete
I love your quilt design. String quilts are awesome.
Congratulations on your block, and I love seeing how it can be utilized. I waffle between primitives and brights, but the primitives usually win. I have some of your Sewing Social, and it's so different from my usual palette that I love it!ReplyDelete
Congratulations on being selected to be in 100 Blocks! This block is wonderful!! I love it every way that you have shown it. I would love to win the magazine - but truthfully I can's say I have a favorite color combo. They are all so pretty. So I'll say blue and yellow, until I change my mind, which will be in 10 seconds! LOL!!ReplyDelete
I like the primitive earthy colors and the lavenders as well. So many comments but there is always hope.ReplyDelete
Love your block.
I love brights...they are so cheerful to me! They brighten my day even when things seem grey and gloomy. I grew up in a home where the walls were white and everything was drab. It seemed lifeless. This may be why I am so drawn to color now! :-) It is amazing to me how color can affect your mood or even emotions.ReplyDelete
Why is it that someone can look ravishing in neutrals, where I look dead in them?! Color can do amazing things, can't it?!
Love your Spumoni quilts! Ice cream fixes everything!ReplyDelete
Wow another killer block this is a great tour! I really like bright in your face colors that just jump right at you.ReplyDelete
I love string blocks, but I had no idea there could be so many setting possibilities! I am planning a version with blues and tans.ReplyDelete
Karen in Breezy Point
I love those kaleidoscope blocks!! Any color combination looks great! Brights or antique-y looking fabrics are generally my favorite, though!! I cannot wait to get my hands on a copy of 100 Blocks!!ReplyDelete
I love your block and thanks for showing all the different combinations for layout! Very cool! Brights are my favorite for quilts! Thanks for a chance to win! :)ReplyDelete
Love your block :DReplyDelete
of late, I love the Pink and Green color palette!
Thanks for the chance!
my color preference depends on my mood and who the quilt is for- i have done a bit of everything...ReplyDelete
Congrats on your wonderful block!!! Thank you for showing up different options in its layout and design. How awesome! Also a quick kudos on your Designer of the Month!! Talk about being busy!! Favorite palette is browns, tans, and dark browns...anything that will remind me remotely of chocolate!!!ReplyDelete

text: A first of its kind mass drone attack was confirmed by Russia and they say there may be a Ukrainian connection to this attack. The attackers hand-built 13 drones using plastic sheeting/wrap, wood, model airplane engines and other miscellaneous materials. Each of the drones carried 10 bomblets. However, the attacks were unsuccessful because the Russians either shot them down or used ECM to bring them down. US Forces say they've seen ISIS use drones in the past, but this is the first time so many were used in a single attack. Since drones are so available on the open market is it only a matter of time till we see terrorist use this in Europe and the US? He said that unspecified terrorists utilized a total of 13 improvised drones, each carrying 10 bomblets, sending 10 to Russia's Khmeimim air base in Latakia governorate and the other three to its naval base in Tartus on the Mediterranean Sea. The munitions each had an explosive charge weighing nearly one pound, as well as strings of metal ball bearings or BBs glued together as pre-formed shrapnel, which would have made them most effective against individuals out in the open.

Cari Beauchamp reports from her busy weekend at the TCM Classic Film Festival:
Hollywood Boulevard was even more packed than usual this weekend with thousands of people who could have passed for casually dressed conventioneers, but were actually visitors from all 50 states except for West Virginia, in town to attend the second annual Turner Classic Movies film festival.
One might assume the festival would look like a AARP gathering, but there was a large youthful contingent. The common dominator seemed to be a profound loyalty to TCM, a love of classic films and an interest in seeing favorite stars up close and personal. There was Angela Lansbury introducing Gas Light, Peter O'Toole getting his hand and foot prints in the Grauman's forecourt, Eva Marie Saint talking about Elizabeth Taylor, Leslie Caron introducing American in Paris, Kirk Douglas discussing Spartacus and Oscar-winning cinematographer Haskell Wexler introducing Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? TCM on-camera host Robert Osborne parted seas of crowds every time he walked by; the line to have Debbie Reynolds sign DVDs was longer than the one to see The Godfather.
Based at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel ("Club TCM" is set up in the Blossom Room, the site of the first Academy Awards), the films were screened at Hollywood Boulevard's Grauman's Chinese and the Egyptian. With almost 100 movies to chose from, starting at 9 in the morning, it began to feel like a marathon by Sunday, but the closing night party was packed. Sampling conversations with some of the attendees produced some laugh-provoking responses. Sarah from Fort Worth, in her mid-thirties and a first-time pass holder, said she had told her husband: "Nothing personal, but this is better than our wedding day."
Joan from Toronto left her husband at home and brought her daughter for the second year in a row. Jamie from New Jersey, 65, came by herself "so I wouldn't have to think about what anyone else wants to see"; the highlight for her was Buster Keaton's The Cameraman: it was the first time in her life that she had seen a silent accompanied by live music on the big screen.
With passes hanging around their necks, conversations were easy and comfortable among people who had never met before. Two young women, one from Alberta and another from Minnesota, met at last year's festival, stayed in touch, "saved our money," and came together again this year. Couples used celebrating birthdays and anniversaries as a reason to come to Hollywood — that lure is still alive and well — but the best story was passed on by Gene Kelly's widow, Patricia. She told of meeting a couple who had met at last year's festival, and got engaged this year when the young man went down on one knee following the opening night screening of American in Paris. Awww.
Real pros, the TCM organizers made mounting so much activity within a relatively small space look easy; few complaints were heard. And on Sunday night, they announced plans for another festival next year–to cheers from the crowd–and hinted that it might be held in mid-April: great news for those who also want to attend the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, which is also held the last weekend in April.
Peter O'Toole was also honored on April 30 during the TCM fest at Grauman's Chinese Theatre by being inducted into a select group of industry luminaries (his hand and footprints being marked in the courtyard). Check out a clip from the ceremony below:

Take the offer and run
The School Board said no.
Hell-oh? Are we cutting our nose to spite our face?
I know several people whose children attend or have attended Devonaire and they have always spoken highly of this guy. I don't know him from Adam, but I recognize appreciation. So why not accept the gracious offer?
Apparently, it has something to do with budget constraints, but it sounds like a lot of hogwash to me. If this board can decide not to give teachers their raises after agreeing to do so in a contract, I am sure they can find a creative accounting way to keep this guy on board next year. How about donating the $119,000 to buy supplies or hire para-professionals or give teachers bonuses?

Yes, the ingenious inventions of sculptor - and SM&NC favorite - Steve Gerberich will return to the Stamford Museum Galleries for a totally re-imagined Winter Exhibition.

Working with old machine parts, kitchen utensils, furniture scraps, lighting fixtures, medical supplies, toys, and carnival figurines, Gerberich mixes the aesthetics of contemporary sculpture with the scientific principles of simple mechanical motion. It's crazy fun! SM&NC Members: Free | Non-Members: included with gate admission. For more information, visit www.stamfordmuseum.org or call 203.977.6521

The City of Cape Town has announced the qualifying bidder for the Foreshore Freeway Precinct development.
The Stage 1 bid evaluation process has now been completed by the appointed Bid Evaluation Committee.
The qualifying bidder is Mitchell Du Plessis Associates (MDA).
The City states that 'MDA's proposal entails, among others, the completion of the unfinished sections of the freeways – these are the connections to and from Helen Suzman Boulevard; and the connections to and from the N1 and N2 freeways. Furthermore, the development proposes a combination of approximately 3 200 market-related residential units and a minimum of 450 affordable residential units.'
Mayco member for transport, Brett Herron talks to John Maytham about the winning bid.
[Watch] All the Foreshore Freeway Project proposals here
John asked Brett Herron to explain how traffic leaving Sea Point would connect with the then completed highways.
The separation of the elevated freeways and two new viaducts will separate the traffic on the ground...to the traffic flowing straight onto the N1 and N2....It will no longer descend into Buitengracht and Dock Road.Brett Herron, Mayco member Transport
The two new viaducts will be higher than the existing ones, explains Herron.
Herron also answered concerns about what seems to be the targetting of public transport infrastructure.

I was thinking a lot about who will be March's Interview Girl, and I think that she is the best choice! V., also knows as Valerie the writer(and the administrator) for The Stardoll Insiders.
B: Hello V! How are you?
V:I'm good thank you for asking! Hope you are doing good aswell!
B:What inspires you in fashion? Where do you get your ideas?
V:In fashion I usually just try things out. If it works: it works, if it doesn't: try again xP In Stardoll it's easy to try out different things over and under each other. Layering is the only option on Stardoll to create an original and unique outfit and still everyone can do it.
In real life I must say I don't buy any fashion magazines. I don't know if that makes me an exception, but I usually don't have time to read magazines. My main fashion updates come from the media in general and.. yes, Stardoll xP Stardoll does a great job at copying great designers! 😛 In the mornings I usually have little time and I mostly have the feeling I have nothing in my closet to put on (If only my Stardoll closet was real!), so it always takes several minutes until I picked something out 😛 The outfit depends a lot on my mood… casual, chic, girly or something that goes with flats when I have to work xP So maybe I can say my mood is my main source for ideas?!
B:Do you have a fashion icon?
V:I don't really have one certain fashion icon. Everyone has his or her own style! The world would be boring otherwise. 😛 I like Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy as timeless classics and maybe Lady Gaga, but only for her guts (although it's also her way to get attention and stay in the media!). Apart from that I don't spend my time following celebrities' outfits xP
B:Who is your favourite fashion designer? And why?
V:I must say I like designers like Elie Saab, Chanel, Zac Posen, Lanvin, and many more. But I can't afford any of them 😛 Although they have an influence on what ends up in the more affordable shops 🙂 When shopping I just buy what I like. I definitely don't like everything from one brand to call it my favourite. It just has to look good on you when you try it on and you should feel good in it! 😛 Expensive or cheap, brand or no brand.
B:What do you have planned for the future? Maybe another awesome blog or…?
V: Lol, no, no other blog! One is enough 😛 I don't have any concrete plans when it comes to Stardoll or the blog. In real life my studies are coming to an end, so I'll be starting a new chapter in life. xP I'm curious myself where I'll be in a few months! Scary and exciting at the same time. 😛
B:It's been great talking to you! Any last words for your fans and our readers?
V:Your welcome! Good luck with the magazine! And last words? Just stay yourself 🙂
All the best to everyone!

Rabbi Yonah GoodmanThe writer is Director of the Institute for Contemporary Religious Education, Orot Teachers College, Elkana, Israel and former secretary-general of Bnai Akiva, Israel.
Sometimes, it seems that Purim is less about dressing up in costumes and more about removing disguises. In the name of "v'nahafoch hu" ("it was reversed" – Esther 9:1), we turn a blind eye to certain behaviors and attitudes (not necessarily positive ones) and expose our innermost feelings, which we try to keep hidden during the rest of the year.
Purim specifically and Adar as a whole present a unique educational challenge. On one hand, we do not wish to deny our students the relative freedom which they customarily enjoy during this month. Yet, at the same time, we must find ways to encourage them to channel their exuberance in a positive and constructive direction.
The following letter, which is "based on actual events," can help us and our students better understand this challenge:
Dear Arik,
When you served as our advisor at the Gesher (a Jerusalem-based organization that runs meetings between religious and secular youth, ed.) seminar, you told us to keep in touch. (As you put it, "Even a year from now, I'll be glad to answer any questions you may have.") So, here we are, only three months later, and I'm writing to you.
As you know, our group (consisting of girls from a secular public high school) hit it off with the religious group, and I personally became quite friendly with Moriyah. (She's a great girl, even if she is religious…) In fact, she repeatedly invited me to come visit and get a firsthand view of Orthodox Jewish life.
Purim seemed like a perfect opportunity to take Moriyah up on her kind offer. As it is, I can't stand the way "Purim" is celebrated in our neighborhood. In my opinion, the secular version of Purim is basically a rowdy, boisterous carnival with deafening music, cigarette smoke, and lots of alcohol. (I hated it even before I met the religious girls and started to become interested in learning more about Judaism.) In other words, our Purim parties are revolting. (And to make matters worse, my friends claim that they are "having fun!")
I arrived at Moriyah's house on Erev Purim. I couldn't wait to experience that special religious atmosphere, which you had spoken of so highly at Gesher.
Imagine my disappointment when I discovered that it was all just a bunch of empty words!!
Your "religious world" proved to be a pale imitation of the world I had considered leaving!
Other than the fact that you read the text of Megilat Esther instead Issue 7, אדר תשע"ג of staging a satirical play, there was little to distinguish it from Purim in my neighborhood. It was all familiar: the carnival atmosphere, the smoking, the alcohol, the loud music, the lame jokes, hanging out all night, and the impulsive behavior. I could go on, but as a religious guy, you certainly know what I'm talking about. (By the way, the kids in your crowd also claimed that they were "just having fun!")
I still have my notes from the seminar, where you discussed "Judaism's profound depths," "a rich ideological world," and – ironically – "a life filled with meaning!" But I wonder: What kind of "meaning" were you talking about? The kind I saw at your Purim party? Sorry, but our community boasts the "original." I don't need your imitation. Your Purim is all about copying secular Israelis, but if I had wanted a secular lifestyle, I could have stayed home.
The bottom line is that your Purim held nothing for me. No "depth," no "ideology," and no "incredible religious world." I'm not sure how to phrase this as a question, because this is more of a cry of pain!
At the seminar, you seemed like an honest person, and that's why I'm confused by the incongruity between your lofty words and the sad reality on the ground. I'm not even sure that there is an explanation.
I remember that you said that on Purim, we let our real selves come out. Nu? It seems to me that instead of wearing costumes on Purim, you wore them at the Gesher seminar.
Please forgive me if I have offended you. I look forward to hearing from you.
Happy (??) Purim,
Educational Thoughts for the Reader
1. The above letter focuses on an inappropriate cultural approach to Purim. Are there any other aspects of our schools' Purim celebrations (e.g. interpersonal behavior, modesty, the cost of the Purim play, etc.) that you as a teacher (or parent, ed.) would like to change?
2. You decide to speak to your students (children, ed.) about Purim's true meaning. After hearing you out, they say, "We understand. But how are we supposed to celebrate? Do you expect us to spend the entire day dancing?" What can you suggest to them?
3. The letter does not apply in every school. Many institutions are characterized by a true and constructive simchah (joy), and their students volunteer and are involved in other meaningful extracurricular projects. What enables these schools to avoid the pitfalls described in the letter and to be mekadesh Shem Shamayim (sanctify the Name of Heaven) instead? As an educator/parent, what can I do to encourage my students/children to choose – of their own volition – a positive approach to Purim?

I like to control the sounds in my environment as much as possible. This is because it's a stressor for me to be out, particularly in transit. If I don't have a friend with me, I want to have something to make a noise, some sort of sound for me to focus on. This does a couple things. It enables me to deal with the stress of being out by helping me focus on something besides the fact I have to interact with other people, and it helps me interact with other people in a polite and respectful manner so my bipolar hypomania doesn't drive me into being excessively rude and inconsiderate because of the stress.
I can be rather rude and inconsiderate at times, even with something to distract myself with, but the vast majority of the time, it helps me slow down and think before I go off the deep end. The more stressed I am, the more rude and inconsiderate I become, so I really need something to distract me from the anxiety which drives up my stress.
Most of the time, this sound is music. I have two mp3 players. One I wear at all times; the other is a backup. On each of these, I have playlists and songs I listen to on repeat, because having one song on repeat tends to help me best; random songs aggravate my anxiety. Mostly, I listen to a song I see as being related to a story I'm writing, but sometimes not; for instance, right now, I have a number of Christmas songs ready to play on my main mp3 player right now.
For times I can't listen to my music—as when I'm waiting for an appointment to commence after checking in—I have other methods of introducing sounds, and thus stress relief.
My earlobes have been pierced three times. On days when I expect to be spending a lot of time without my headphones and music, I wear dangly earrings arranged in such a way they'll ring together whenever I move my head. When I get to the place where I can't have music, I shake my head to make the earrings tinkle. Sometimes I'll also wear a charm bracelet my mother gave me. It's an entirely girly thing, but I enjoy the way I can make it tinkle to a beat by sharply twisting my left forearm; it doesn't get much use, mainly because I've found a combination of earrings that tinkle and don't also cause my ears to hurt.
And then, for the holiday season from US Thanksgiving through New Year's, I wear an actual bell.
I have no idea why I'm like this. All I do know is that I've been like this for as long as I can remember. I've listened to music to go to sleep with, and usually had some sort of music playing whenever I've gone out on my own. One of the best Chrismases I had when I was a child was the year I got a Sony Walkman cassette tape player, and when the Discman came out, I was thrilled. I'm even happier with mp3 players, because of the variety and amount of music they hold. I've just always wanted to have music, and it's always kept me from going off the deep end and turning into a total ass whenever I'm out.

Hello, I'm Jac. Welcome to Issy Inspired!
I'm a crochet enthusiast, mother of four, wife of one (hehe) from Melbourne, Australia.
Issy Inspired began when my second child (my first daughter) Isabella was about four months old. I had crocheted a pretty headband using a brilliant Youtube tutorial and shared a photo of Issy wearing it in a group on Facebook. The group, made up of lovely mums who had all been due to have their babies the same month Issy was born, encouraged me to open a business page and sell the headbands. So I did!
Over time, my confidence and passion grew, and I found myself designing beanies, blankets, amigurumi, and more! All while my family grew too.
Now that life is much busier, I just don't have the time or energy for the business side of things. So I have moved toward blogging – this way I still get to create and share without the pressure to fulfill orders.
Issy Inspired is now a place I can come to be 'me' for a while, until one of the kiddies screams out and needs me to be 'mum' again.
With three girls under four years of age, plus a school boy, the 'mum mode' is almost suffocating. This has now become my breathing space.
And I am so glad that I get to share it with you.

Cape Town Swing is a non-profit organisation run by local dancers. We organise regular socials and parties, and aim to build a community that is accessible beyond the city centre, and to nurture an appreciation for swing music, dancing and its history.
Swing dancing arrived in Cape Town towards the end of 2011, when Jeannie Elliott (a dancer and teacher from Texas) started teaching classes. The Cape Underground Swing Syndicate (CUSS) was formed by the original classmates and over the next few years, the swing dancing community grew in Cape Town. By 2014, the group had grown and was formalised as "Cape Town Swing".
Our events are all about dancing socially and having a good time. We like to keep things goofy and not overly serious. If you stand near the dance floor, you'll be asked to dance! We're serious about inclusivity, fun, and safety: please read our Code of Conduct (which includes Dance Floor Etiquette and our Harassment Policy).
We're actively looking for ways to make our dance accessible to the greater Cape Town population, and as the tip of Africa is far from the rest of the swing world, connecting with travelling dancers and the global swing community! If you love to dance or would like to learn, you've come to the right place. Head over to our Contact page to get in touch!
