I had been wondering why the Government of British Columbia was not bringing these provisions of the legislation into effect, and whether the Government had decided not to bring them into effect at all or was merely delaying their implementation.
I came across the answer to my questions in a Ministry of Justice publication online not surprisingly entitled Wills, Estates and Succession Act and Probate Rules Questions and Answers. Here it is:
14. Why was the small estates provision left out?
It was no longer needed.
The benefit of the small estate procedure was that it would be simpler and faster.
In drafting the new probate rules, we have created prescribed forms very similar to the small estate declaration proposed by the B.C. Law Institute.
The new rules make a distinction between simple and complex applications and ensured that their processing is dependent upon the complexity of an application, rather than the value of the estate.
Therefore, there wasn't any advantage to these provisions, as all applicants will get the same benefits under the new probate rules – those with simple applications in particular.
As an example, simple applications are those where there is no apparently later will that needs to be explained, where there are no issues surrounding the signing of the will, where there are no hand written alterations to the will and no documents referred to in the will that appear to be missing.
It should also be noted that the fee structure has not changed – individuals still will not be required to pay probate fees if the estate is with less than $25,000.

text: 6/28/2017 From Engagement to Feedback: How to successfully improve learning outcomes By: Sarilyn Sintobin As education evolves, meeting students' individual learning needs has become increasingly important. This area of focus plays a significant role in the classroom, and you will face many challenges while trying to successfully implement a plan to engage your students. From students becoming less productive to their varying backgrounds and learning styles, figuring out how to reach each student on his level can become overwhelming. Once you find an approach to achieving different engagement levels, each student will be able to participate in his own learning, while you provide help to define goals with frequent and meaningful feedback. Engaging Students in Their Learning The first step in creating a student-centered environment is to establish a structured routine and expectations that allow for student success. With classroom organization, you can establish expectations—from creating a welcoming atmosphere to providing easy access to learning materials, students will feel comfortable in the classroom and will be able to see themselves as part of the learning environment. Each student's comfort level of comfort is essential to establishing a healthy growth mindset. As you help students understand that they will not just succeed on talent alone, you can also help them embrace a willingness to learn and an inner drive to succeed. Some materials that may help engage students include: Math manipulatives (hands-on activities) Word work games Writing centers Computers Libraries Defining Goals One way to engage students in learning is to make sure they understand your goals for them are from the get-go. You can do this by posting learning targets around the classroom and briefly referring to them throughout the day. Using visual aids can help students understand the importance of learning goals and how to set healthy expectations for themselves. Once students know and understand their goals, they can use the information to further their learning. By having students create and use data binders, it is easy to share what goals you need to set and how to efficiently reach those objectives. Student data binders are also an ideal resource for communicating with families and administration. An effective way for students to take ownership of data binders is by giving them the appropriate tools to help manage the workload. Carson-Dellosa's Classroom Data Tracking Resource Books can also help teach students how to reflect on the work they have added. By engaging students in learning how to use these binders on their own, you are giving them the ability to feel like they are not just receiving a "report card," but instead creating a useful way to share what they have learned. This participation teaches students how to plan for the future and set goals. Allow students to: Organize their work in their binders Understand how some work goes together to show they have met their goals Create graphs and charts for their binders, to help them visualize what they have learned in the classroom Frequent and Meaningful Feedback Another essential teaching tool to help students take ownership of their learning is Carson-Dellosa's Interactive Notebooks. These resource books provide templates to help students create customized notebooks. These notebooks allow students to reflect upon their learning, as well as return to previous lessons they've learned when they need a refresher. These helpful resources are available for a variety of subjects including Word Study, Language Arts, Math, and Science, and they enable students to engage with creative, interactive, and easily personalized activities while still learning new concepts. Interactive Notebooks aren't your run-of-the-mill resource book—they provide students with an opportunity to incorporate their own form of note taking, while they provide you with reproducibles on a variety of topics. As students learn each skill, they will take pride in creating their own materials of lessons you teach. This adds a sense of "education ownership," which becomes a wonderful communication tool for students, teachers, and parents. An additional feature of Interactive Notebooks is that students can complete the templated pages with partners, in collaborative teams, or during small group instruction. Instant Assessments are another must-have resource for improving student outcomes and giving useful feedback. Summative and formative are the two major types of assessments. Summative assessments are useful tools for you and your students to reflect upon a completed unit to see if further instruction is necessary. Students can complete formative assessments quickly, and these assessments can still guide your teaching by showing what students are learning throughout a lesson. Responsive Teaching Once you have an organized classroom and made it accessible, set clear and meaningful goals, and provided consistent feedback, it is finally time to begin instruction. By this point, students should be taking ownership of their education experience and understanding why it is important to do so, and many should be thriving with independent work. A great way to make sure you are meeting students' needs is by working in small groups. Small group instruction is beneficial for social interaction, as well as helping those students who may need reinforcement on a particular skill. By using easily accessible materials and reviewing the data assessments that you have given to students, you can easily provide meaningful instruction on a smaller scale. Common small group instruction includes: Guided reading groups, which allow you to instruct students in a small group at their individual reading levels using leveled books. Guided math groups, which allow you to instruct students in a small group based on their mathematical understanding using materials that reinforce curriculum. Content groups, which are great for students who may need a refresher on a specific skill. By integrating formative assessments and communicating with students about classroom and individual goals, both you and your students will be on the same page as far as their educational success. When you create a classroom where students can engage in their own learning and receive meaningful instruction and feedback, they will better understand how to approach learning for an exciting and effective educational journey.

As California's biggest builder of new homes posted its seventh straight quarterly loss Friday, Westwood-based KB Home said it was trying to boost sales by building small, lower-priced houses instead of the larger ones that had sustained the company during the housing boom.
KB Home lost $144.7 million from July through September, or $1.87 a share, compared with a net loss of $35.6 million, or 46 cents a share, for the third quarter of 2007.
The company's shares were up 40 cents Friday, to $21.56. The stock has fallen 28% from its 52-week high.
The loss exceeded analysts' estimates and came as sales of the company's homes fell 56% in the quarter compared with a year earlier. Revenue was $681.6 million for the quarter, down from $1.53 billion in the year-earlier period.
KB Chief Executive Jeffrey Mezger said that foreclosed houses being sold at fire-sale prices were continuing to pull home prices down, and that parts of the country that have yet to see the dramatic price declines experienced by California and other Western states were likely to fall next.

Reinforced Plate
Reinforced Plate is processed by stacking mica paper to desired thickness and bonded to each other with a high temperature resisting resins on glass cloth reinforcement. It is then set to sheet form by applying hot press. The used binder resin is controlled to maintain a stable and fully cured state to for rigid and dense plates and semi cured state (B Stage) to form dense and flexible sheets.
Major applications of the material are to wrapping material for crucible winding boards, as a protective barrier during the sintering of crucible obtained by the introduction of molten metal, insulation covering in transformer and coil.

A quiet afternoon in a Kratie coffee shop took a frightening turn on Friday for the shop's owner and her son.
Police said two men wearing medical masks sat down, purchased some coffee, and waited.
When they were the only two customers, they produced a gun and looted the place of $700 cash and some property.
Both the woman and her son were uninjured, but while she's filed a complaint, identifying them is proving difficult thanks to the masks. DEUM AMPIL

Published in the Guardian on August 24, 2012 . Read the full article here. Video report – by Sarika Bansal, Katie Bowman, Ashley Morse, and Julia Ritz Toffoli – and excerpt below.
The summer of 2012 has sadly been colored with several high-profile mass shootings. Friday morning, nine people were injured in a shooting at the Empire State Building in Manhattan, New York. Nineteen were shot in Chicago last night. Earlier this summer, seven were killed in a mass killing at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin; three were killed at a shooting at Texas A&M University; and a massacre in a Denver-area movie theater resulted in 12 killed and 58 injured.
These high-profile shootings, though, are only a drop in the bucket of gun-related violence in the US. There are approximately 100,000 shootings in the US every year, and nearly 9,000 of those are fatal. Homicide is, in fact, the leading cause of death among non-Hispanic black male adolescents: these are gun crime's less visible victims.
Most gun violence receives far less media attention than the mass shootings have this summer. Friday's shooting near the Empire State Building in the heart of the tourist zone of midtown Manhattan made headlines, but in other boroughs the toll of shootings and fatalities continued with no mayoral press conference: a 13-year-old boy wasfatally shot Thursday night in Brooklyn, in the same neighborhood where a 15 year-old was arrested last week for shooting four teens in a playground; and two men were shot on Thursday over a "food vendor turf war" in the Bronx.
These individual incidents, often in poorer urban neighborhoods, are generally overshadowed by more sensational mass shootings in city centers or suburbs. In absolute numbers, however, they are the real mass shootings – forming the vast majority of fatal gun violence cases.
The finer points of the second amendment and the gun control debate are remote from these areas, and policing methods like "stop-and-frisk" have provided no lasting solution, so several communities have started organizing themselves to prevent gun violence in their neighborhoods. One such, a non-profit organization named Snug ("guns" spelled backwards), works to reduce gun violence in a 72-block section of central Harlem, in upper Manhattan. The area, which contains three housing project buildings and approximately 60 gangs, has long been a hotbed for violent crime. Snug mediates conflict among "high-risk youth", helps young people find employment, and when necessary, intervenes in violent situations.

Lt. Mellie Blake is a nurse serving in the 802nd Medical Squadron, Air Evacuation, Transport. As part of a morale building program, she reluctantly enters into an anonymous correspondence with Lt. Tom MacGilliver, an officer in the 908th Engineer Aviation Battalion in North Africa. As their letters crisscross the Atlantic, Tom and Mellie develop a unique friendship despite not knowing the other's true identity. When both are transferred to Algeria, the two are poised to meet face to face for the first time. Will they overcome their fears and reveal who they are, or will their future be held hostage to their past? And can they learn to trust God and embrace the gift of love he offers them?
Combining excellent research and attention to detail with a flair for romance, Sarah Sundin brings to life the perilous challenges of WWII aviation, nursing, and true love.
My thoughts:
'With Every Letter', Book 1 in Sarah Sundin's newest series 'Wings of the Nightingale' clinches her as one of the very best Christian authors in Historical Romance genre!
As we have learned to expect from this best selling author each of her novels surpasses the last one!
Her three previous novels in the 'Wings of Glory' included 'A distant Melody' (see review here), 'A Memory Between Us' (see review here) and 'Blue Skies Tomorrow' (see review here) were stunning in their historical details and emotional dramas.
I consider it a blessing she now presents us another great story which is sure to delight her audience everywhere.
In 'With Every Letter' Sarah clearly demonstrates you can still experience the emotional drama we remember from books and movies such as 'Best Years of our Lives', Casablanca, Mrs. Miniver and countless other WWII era reenactments! I am at a loss to explain why we feel this powerful attraction for a period which is remembered as full of danger and certainly heightened emotions but for some of us, it cannot be denied!
Tom and his Annie/Mellie reminds us that with God all is possible of course. Intended to build morale during war, a letter exchange betwixt the troops and volunteers brings these two people together with one rule: they cannot reveal their identities.
Letters become a vivid link between Tom and Annie, each letter allowing them to share their most private emotions and seek counsel from the other.
A skilled engineer Tom is a people person who never truly reveals his inner thoughts because of his past. His leadership is challenged time and time again on the front and he must earn his men' respect or see himself sent back to the Sates.
Annie/Mellie does not know how to deal with her fellow nurses but due to her unusual upbringing she can handle any man and situation. Her exotic physique, sort of an orchid instead of a rose, makes her an oddity in her group yet she desperately wants to fit in. In fact her job as a flying nurse demands it!
Will they ever meet and share openly their true feelings?
Their course is not the easiest one but with faith anything is possible and Sarah Sundin's excellent penmanship will make a believer from the hardest soul. With her meticulous details this author gives a carefully researched plot and we can follow our heroes throughout the war theater, feeling their distress and emotions along the way. Wait until you meet Sesame (and no, I will not tell you about this lovely little fellow just read and enjoy!)
With Every Letter will certainly speak to all of us who have written countless letters during war and peacetime to the troops bringing a little of home to those who are still fighting for freedom.
I found this novel to be a beautiful love story with just the right amount of suspense to make any of us dream yet again (man or woman, just ask ex-RAF hubby!)!
Sarah absolutely excells in this novel and since I cannot give up the plot, it remains for me to say this is a story certain to make you feel again the throes of love no matter your age!
How does she do it, again and again?
May we expect to hear more from Tom and Annie in the future? I certainly hope so!
5 Stars because there is no higher rating but worth much more for the warm feelings she gives us!
Thank you Sarah and please keep on writing! God speed!

About 20 minutes North of Palm Springs lies a desert oasis that many people have no idea exists. The town of Desert Hot Springs is known for, you guessed it, their hot springs. It's an odd little town with just about everything you need – groceries, gas, a Starbucks & Subway (of course), about six pizza joints, and more. It's a rundown version of it's neighbor across the way, Palm Springs, but Desert Hot Springs is nice in it's own way.
The town is littered with RV resorts and hotels that claim they have natural hot springs. I can't vouch for the others, but we found our hidden desert oasis and we'll never go elsewhere. Sam's Family RV Park in Desert Hot Springs was incredible in so many ways.
Upon arrival one thing was evident – the solitude of this place was amazing. We had the entire place to ourselves – a neighbor here, a neighbor there, it was nice to pick a spot wherever we liked. I know that summer is not their busy season, as this place fills up when it gets colder, but the peace and solitude was to be appreciated. We grabbed our spot, checked in, and made ourselves at home for a month.
Due to photoshoots and obligations back in LA we didn't have a chance to visit the hot springs for a week. After getting in the hot springs for the first time however, it was game on, and this became a routine each and every night. Talking about it now makes me want to pack up and head right on over there. If not for the trek to work – that's exactly where we'd be right now.
I can vouch for excellent staff, well kept grounds/facilities, and an amazing desert oasis. This is a great place to bring the family, with or without an RV, since they do have tent camping as well. Their pool is awesome and the hot tubs are exactly what you expect – piping hot mineral water. Sam's also has a dry room/sauna along with a wet room. Definitely, one of the best wet rooms I've ever been in, as you're literally standing on top of piping hot mineral water.
My only regret was not taking more pictures of their pool and spa area – it was very nice.
We'll be back, Sam's. Absolutely loved our time there and highly recommended for anyone reading.

How would I remove a foreign body from the ear?
Doctor's Advice:
If the object is large, such as marble, a doctor must remove it. Trying to do it yourself with a struggling child may force it only deeper into the ear canal. Should an insect get into the ear, filling the ear with warm oil (olive oil, castor oil) will usually get rid of it.

If you've read my blog for awhile, you might remember a post from about a year ago about my religious "beliefs" .... or probably more accurately, my lack of religious beliefs. You can view it here if you're curious. But basically, it explained my recent ability to admit and accept that I'm not a Christian, be okay with that, and described my predicament of not having a solid "non-Christian" spiritual outlet. In the past few years, I've really felt a need to connect with others (a congregation) who share similar beliefs and interests. I like "church families" and all of the "outings"/ service projects that go along with church goers. (This is the part that turns off my husband) The ....dare I say.... 'problem' around here is that everything is sooooo "Jesus-y". But I'm looking for something a little less Cross- related.
So I've been looking into the Unitarian Universalist church for awhile now. I read UU things, and follow some UU blogs. And from afar, it kinda seems right up my ally.
So last Sunday, our family of three went on an errand run. C had the option of getting groceries with Daddy or attending church with Mommy. He chose church. (Now, aside from his cousin's baptism, he's never really been to church so didn't really know what he was choosing) But they had a nice little nursery filled with toys and he was super happy playing with them. I was honestly a little surprised that he was fine with me leaving.... until a gal came and got me about 30 min later-- explaining that C was a little "sad" and wondering where mama was. (A "little sad" as in crying giant crocodile tears and sobbing, "My Mama! My Mama! Come Back!) As soon as I rescued him from the nursery, we went to listen to the rest of the service. He was happy as a clam--- and loud as a monkey so some super sweet people behind us showed me where the "take your annoying loud kid during church" room was. It was actually a much better place for us and of course C was almost totally quiet up there. And the chairs were much more comfy so it was a good find.
Although I was a little distracted during the service, I enjoyed it and remembered a few tokens to take with me. I appreciated the references to various religions, and the overall sense of "what good can we do" that the service had. I especially appreciated the lack of Biblical references-- and the focus instead, on general well-being. After church, I visited with a few members but C was very ready to find Daddy.
It was such a beautiful day and a good way to start a Sunday morning. As I watched the few children at the service, I found myself thinking, "I could see Charlie attending this with me". I like that the religious education is exactly that---it educates children and adults about religions. With an "s". They give people the information and acknowledge that there are other ideas out there, other views, other answers. Unitarians acknowledge that there are possibly many answers to one question, or perhaps, no answer at all. Really? Even if "The Bible Tells Me So"? Yep. And that's what I've been looking for forever. So while I didn't drink the Kool-Aid, I do think I'll check it out again.

I love this scent! It's very shiny and happy. Makes me think of that line from Legally Blond "It makes me want a hot dog real bad" lol. Very summer time; something I would wear to a bbq or simple day function. Very sharp grapefruit note, followed by a very simple, rounded vanilla note.

I own the rollerball in both this and the vanilla coconut scent. I love them both (and enjoy layering them together) but this is more my favorite of the two. It seems a bit more complex. I would wear this one more in the cooler months than I would the coconut, but to each their own. I'm just a vanilla fan - and I love it even more paired with fruity (or other) notes:)

The Vanilla Coconut is my favorite, but I find that their sprays don't last on me as long as the body butters do. Since this was the only scent that Sephora had in rollerball, I decided to buy it since the smell was pretty good (I had originally bought it in the spray before i bought the Vanilla Coconut, but returned it because it didn't last long on my skin). I do like the scent...nice and subtle and warm. I still prefer the Vanilla Coconut and just found out that they just launched it in rollerball! Overall, yes, I'd buy it again...although I probably won't need to now that the VC is available. :) That's my all-time favorite scent.

Earlier today AT&T and Deutsche Telekom entered a deal for the acquisition of T-Mobile, which between cash and stocks is a deal valued at 39 billion. Part of the deal also gives Deutsche Telekom an equity stake of the company, which is about an 8% of ownership in the company. While this news is rather stunning, and customers of both networks probably have many questions, keep in mind that it will take at least a year to finalize, and faces regulatory approval, but either way this is pretty huge news. With the joining of the two networks, they certainly hope to build one super network, which they put as:
AT&T's acquisition of T-Mobile USA provides an optimal combination of network assets to add capacity sooner than any alternative, and it provides an opportunity to improve network quality in the near term for both companies' customers. In addition, it provides a fast, efficient and certain solution to the impending exhaustion of wireless spectrum in some markets, which limits both companies' ability to meet the ongoing explosive demand for mobile broadband.
As the deal continues to develop, we will continue to bring you the news. All we can hope for is one super competitive true 4G network that is ready to compete with Verizon. For all the details currently available be sure to check out the press release here. [Business Wire]

Calvin Klein had to enlarge Beibers privates in New AD
By now you've probably all seen the new Calvin Klein as featuring Justin Beiber. If you haven't the American fashion brand, has tapped Justin Beiber to re-enact Mark Whalbergs famous My Calvins ad. Now that everyone has ogled the Beib's abs it's time to turn our attention a little further south. Funny, but unsurprising news has come out that Beiber's new ad has been heavily photoshopped. It's clear that the Beibs has had major photo enhancements of his arms, chest, stomach and of course little beiber. What's really weird though is that if you look at the photo, they made everything bigger except his head, they shrunk that in size… maybe they are trying to tell us something… who knows.

As House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) attempts to wring support out of his stubborn GOP Caucus, the leading Republican presidential candidates have all taken clear stances on Boehner's debt plan — except for Mitt Romney. Though he continues to lead in the polls, Romney remains silent on the number one economic issue that is currently crippling Washington. Last night on Fox News' On the Record, candidate Jon Huntsman declared his support for the Boehner plan, and took the opportunity to slam candidates like Romney for failing to "even come up with what they support." In specific reference to Romney, Huntsman said, "You've got to stand up. This is a time when leadership matters and you got to stand up and voice where you are." "This isn't academics," he added, "this is the real world." Watch it:

I'm starting a youtube channel about music making
br>Hello everyone
I've been spending the last few weeks learning to make videos, I'm trying to do a mix between a vlog and an instructional music production thing, eventually focusing on puredata/renoise and microtonal music, as well as the many gigs I play, since I usually redesign my rig from scratch and I think that would make interesting viewing
I have a pretty severe speech/cognitive impairment so I apologise for all the jump cuts, it's literally the only way I can make it intelligible
helpful criticism encouraged! I want to do a decent job of this and I'll no doubt have a few blind spots
My intended audience are people that already know tonnes about music, and are looking for the odd extra 'idea' and 'insight', rather than being full blown, step by step tutorials, although I'll probably get more "tutorial-like" with the puredata
I'm aiming to release 1-2 videos a week, but it will be variable depending on how many gigs and projects I have, I should have plenty of content over summer (I'm in Australia so we're just coming into spring now)
I eventually want to get into more philosophical composition idea videos but I'm planning to use all the technical videos as 'practice' before I get into the harder task of expressing original ideas br> br>
br>cool! i'm definitely interested to see your more puredata centered "tutorials".
i like the video you posted, it's easy to understand, i like that i can see you and you do a good job of not cluttering the video with fancy shots and effects and whatnot, i like tutorials which focus on the content and you seem to deliver. now the only thing i find a bit distracting is the font you use in the video, i don't think it's suited for this informative stuff, it's hard to read and definitely not meant for informative titles and describtions...and it weirdly pushes the aura of the video into late 90ies drumnbass aesthetics. anyway your project looks very interesting and the pd patches intruiging! br> br>
br>I don't think you need to apologize for the cutting, I didn't find it obtrusive (and since you warned us I was even watching for it).
I don't have any criticism for you, I thought it was pretty well put together: not too drawn out, not too detailed but not just a bunch of random nonsense/fluff either. The production quality of the video is pretty high for someone who has only been making videos for 'a few weeks'. br> br>
br>Soy Sos
br>I think the video is great. I get the thing about the 90's D&B font,
but maybe that's a part of your roots? Please keep doing it,
I'm in for the whole series! Super interested as these principals
are present in my work too. br> br>
now the only thing i find a bit distracting is the font you use in the video, i don't think it's suited for this informative stuff
thanks for the feedback, I think I'll change the font, I'm sure I can find something I like that is also a little bit more readable
i like that i can see you and you do a good job of not cluttering the video with fancy shots and effects and whatnot
it was a hard decision for me to show myself in the videos, but with my rambling speaking style (helped a lot by editing) I thought it was necessary to give context on how my face moves, so that it would be easier to decipher my speech
and as far as fancy shots and effects, I already felt I was going overboard with them, so it's good to hear that it's not taken that way at all (or maybe I'm not trying hard enough yet?)
not too drawn out, not too detailed but not just a bunch of random nonsense/fluff either
I did a short course on teaching so although I've scripted everything as a rambly dialogue, I do have some points I'm focusing on getting across in all the videos, so I'll keep that up
I'm in for the whole series!
woo! I should have something put up by monday evening, I have to get the patch ready for rehearsals on wednesday, I'll probably do another video on the rehearsals / performance too, I actually had another gig last night so I'm doing some mastering / video works for that which has stalled work on the video for the last 2 days, but it's coming br> br>
br>i stayed focused on the material the whole time, which is to say, nothing about the production or the narration jolted me out of it, so thumbs up from me. i'm excited to see the next video!
only criticism i have is that i was a little confused by the art installation shots. at first i thought the machines were going to be your physical percussion instruments, sequenced by the computer, but then i realized they were just unrelated material. (i think.) br> br>
br>Soy Sos
br>1. Dude, don't change your font. I've gone through some of your other vids
and it's sort a through-line of your aesthetic or dare I say "brand"
2. Love the content, wit and vibe.
3. Love the cutaways of the art and installation work.
4. I don't think your voice is weird or hard to understand at all.
5. Keep doing it if you enjoy it, I'm a new fan. br> br>

br>Lots of interesting topics, Subscribed! br> br>
br>badass dude! i started my own channel last week, my goals mirror yours to an extent! best of luck, let's do this br> br>

Nothing in the world wrong with streamlining one's brand image to improve communication.
I enjoyed the video and wouldn't critique a thing about your speech or edits. The font doesn't seem that great, though. br> br>
Refund wrote:
I have a pretty severe speech/cognitive impairment
What are you talking about? Doesn't seem like it to me. br> br>
br>Superinteresting work, subbed and looking forward to what comes!
here is a few points I noticed after watching four videos:
I personally don't like the whole "talking over music" thing, especially to a rather stressing tune such as the one in the Drum Machine video. Takes away focus from what you are saying. Also, voice levels would need to be higher or use a comp like Waves Rvox if you have this kind of backing music.
Almost all videos could easily be a minute longer, they feel rushed. Work with breaks, give the audience more time to understand. Its too dense for me at least.
The texts are hard to read and come by too quickly.
Why all the unrelated footage? Hiking? Art Installations? I really don't get that. I too thought you were building physical drum machines with computer sequencing and was excited.
Back your camera off a little, show a bit more of you. Like you are sitting across the table from your audience, not like you are in their face. br> br>
br>It's super helpful to finally get some proper ideas about how to improve it, it's been a pretty steep learning curve for me so I'm probably missing all kinds of other obvious things
I should be finishing another video tomorrow and hopefully uploading it tomorrow night or the night after
re: font
I'm going to change the font, I love that old font but if it's getting in the way I'll gladly prioritise intelligibility
re: music
the videos look and sound super weird without the music, I'd like to keep it in there, but I reckon if I turn it down at lot, that it will help, it also probably doesn't help that I'm deliberately using all my shitty tracks because I don't want to waste the good ones while I'm still learning to put these things together
re: voice
I thought I was already brickwall compressing my vocals to high hell but I'll experiment with pushing it more
re: editing is too quick
Australia has ancient ADSL upload speeds and every minute of footage takes about an hour, and meanwhile the whole house internet becomes unusable, so I have a brief window between 4am and 8am to upload without annoying any of my 3 other housemates, which is why I've been trying to edit the videos so quick, perhaps I could put less into each video and be more frequent instead?
re: unrelated footage
I still want to stick it in there because I like the idea that I have vlog-like elements smooshed into the format, so that things about who I am and what I get up to get thrown into the format along the way, I think the problem is that the way I've edited it together is too confusing, I have some ideas how I can fix that
re: backing off the camera
my DSLR has only has a 60mm (crop sensor equivalent) lens with low enough aperture to get the shot that I want, but I have a cheap wide angle filter coming in the mail from china and can get wider shots once that (eventually) arrives br> br>

I've been doing ok with these videos because I can script/rehearse/edit things out, but my brain just gets way too confused when speaking to people in real life, I have huge trouble with the 'rhythm' of speech and can't keep anything intelligible for very long,
I also take everything everyone says completely literally and it's hard to express how confusing it is to decode a regular persons speech in real time when your standard mode of operation is to take everything at face value
and I usually speak entirely monotone with weird inflections, but I 'script' in the 'correct' vocal inflections into dialogue to fix that as well br> br>
br>Oh wow, that sucks with the Internet connection. Takes half an hour here for 10 min if I am lazy and on wifi, 10 if I use the LAN cable.
Anyway, I will be watching and don't stress yourself out too much. Two videos a week is a very professional schedule and for my format it equates to 3.5 days of work plus half a day in responding. And my channel is still small. br> br>
br>Great stuff! Already you've covered some stuff I've been looking into, or I needed a bit of extra help on. Thanks! Subscribed br> br>
br>I just watched your first video and it's possibly one of the best music production videos I've seen.
I really like how you broke down the three key dimensions that will inform your approach. I wish I was that systematic.
I also liked the inscription/transcription/transduction references that I'm assuming you intended. The installation looks great. br> br>
br>finally uploaded the new video, I aimed for having it be much more direct, less distracting, quieter music, and fixed the font
br> br>
br>great video. subscribed and looking forward to seeing more
personally big into the microtonal vibes, would love to see more of your setup/thoughts with regard to that aspect br> br>
some upcoming topics are making microtonal instrument sample packs for renoise (or any multi-sample capable daw) and also how to do spreadsheet conversions for the different scale types (ratios/cents/edo/harmonicfolding) br> br>
Enjoyed the series and some of the others too - thank you for sharing! br> br>
br>I liked your videos... I like the cuts too... Remember Max Headroom from the 80's?? (Shit.. of course not!.. I'm getting old....ughh... Look it up mate...or as you young kids say:"google it") I'm not comparing you to Max... No.. Just the style. Actually the cuts are super style-y. I'm thinking of copying your cutting style. I think it's cool. Please do it on purpose from now on... Even if you get some sentences or wording perfect, record it again just so you can chop it up for the effect!
Keep up the good work..

This sounds great.
Really enjoyed the video on the Xenharmonic/PD patch
I have been making microtonal instruments with Reaktor for a few years now, would be really interested to see your approach re- DAW/Sampler.. br> br>

I've since decided to scale back to doing one a week and focusing on quality
once I have the quality consistent, I'll go back to my 2 videos a week goal
I only just got around to watching some videos on your youtube channel and your videowork/editing is fucking fantastic
I'm going to use your videos as a reference point for the quality of my future videos, it's doing so many of the things I'm trying to do, but way better than anything I've done,
I'd like to know about your process regarding
dialogue scripting
planning for your "feature" shots (eg. the overhead shots of making music)
planning insert shots
do you do things in a particular order?
what is your process for coming up with and organising ideas for later videos?
this is probably way too much information for a muffwiggler forum response but I'd love to hear all about these things if you're happy to share details br> br>

If you are on a diet to lower your cholesterol or want to limit the use of eggs for other reasons, you can omit the egg when you make meatloaf. Substitute 1/4 cup tomato sauce, beef broth, or even applesauce for the egg in your recipe. I made meatloaf last week using ground turkey and extra-lean, ground beef mixed half and half. I used tomato sauce in place of the egg.
It not only tasted delicious, but the tomato sauce made the ground turkey look reddish like beef. Ground turkey is not only cheaper than ground beef, it is better for your health.
Warm wishes for good health always.

I have been using salsa (anyway flavor on hand) instead of eggs in my meatloaf or turkey or chicken loaf for a couple of years now. I also use brown rice (cooked) or cous cous as an extender instead of bread crumbs or oatmeal. Season as usual and yum! yum!

Excellent Product with Excellent Support!
We tried multiple products to resolve issues with our mailbox database and DigiScope was the only one which could do it. This product works great and completely resolved all our problems, we were walked through the whole process by exceptional support staff who were extremely knowledgeable about not just their own product but Exchange as well. They completely appreciated our situation and followed the process right through to the end, giving us complete confidence in what they were doing. If you have issues with your Exchange database DigiScope is the only product I would recommend.

DigiScope saved the day!
Our customer had their on-premise Exchange 2010 database get damaged/corrupted due to an improper shutdown because of a power failure. The Customer had no backup whatsoever and the database would not mount even after creating a support ticket and working with Microsoft. I found DigiScope through a web search, and it literally "saved the day". I was able to retrieve all the customers invaluable data... I highly recommend you use Lucid8's DigiScope.

DigiScope is Amazing
This software saved me days in getting my email back online. It allowed me to extract .pst files from raw .edb data. The support is fantastic. They were able to help me quickly install and configure with understanding and enthusiasm. When I had follow-up questions they were quick to respond and assist. Next time I'm in the same situation, I won't even bother wasting hours on other methods. Lucid8 Rocks!

Lucid8's DigiScope saved us 100's of man hrs
I would like this opportunity to thank the Support Team, Developers and All other people involved w/ DigiScope. Lucid8's DigiScope saved us 100' s of man hrs. in bringing back a deleted public folder. Our hats off to you on a wonderful piece of Software!

DigiScope Saved Me!
Our Public Folders had not replicated correctly and we inadvertently deleted the Exchange Server that contained the Master Public Folders. The PF database contained critical data from the last ten years! Aghhhh – Major Panic! Only saving grace was that we had the old PF database files available. Called Lucid8 discussed the issue and purchased the DigiScope license. When we hit a snag with our production system the Tech Support went out of their way to assist me, even beyond normal business hours. Great job – they have my business from now on. Thank you!

What a lifesaver – your product is AWESOME!
I've used other products in the past – but when you look at the feature set along with the cost of your product compared to others, you can't beat DigiScope! What a lifesaver – your product is AWESOME!

DigiScope is Absolutely Fantastic!
All I had was an Exchange 2007 .EDB file of a store rolled back from tape. The recovery of data for a high profile user was absolutely critical and my attempt to use competitive products failed to recover data accurately. My life would have been incredibly miserable if I was unable to recover this users data. What a relief that I had NO problems with DigiScope as it easily retrieved the user's mailbox with all folders, all messages and - vitally important - all attachments. The user interface is intuitive, the licensing model is flexible for all kinds of purposes, purchase and activation is swift, performance is excellent, and most important of all the results are outstanding. DigiScope is absolutely fantastic!

DigiScope has made a believer out of me!
When we hit a wall with Microsoft and couldn't go any further to resolve our problem, DigiScope worked perfectly. The support was awesome – they helped me from getting it installed all the way through importing my data and following up to make sure everything went smoothly. If you're looking for an Exchange toolset that fills in the gaps in Microsoft's management platform, look no further.

No need for ExMerge, No need to learn the PowerShell command line syntax, 100% data recovery with no issues!
I needed to restore data from a 45gb .EDB store and struck out with a competitor, all I got was headers and empty .pst files. Once I tried DigiScope, the problem was solved. All headers, dates, body content, contacts, emails, and calendars were restored with no problems. No need for ExMerge, no need to learn the PowerShell command line syntax, 100% data recovery with no issues. I will buy again and highly recommend DigiScope.

The Perfect Companion for Microsoft DPM for Exchange
Lucid8's DigiScope is the perfect companion for Microsoft DPM for Exchange as it allows us to streamline the restoration of not only full mailboxes, but all other messaging items as well. I have been using this and other Lucid8 products for several years and have found them to be a tremendous time saver and they also give us peace of mind knowing that we can expeditiously respond to email system anomalies and support challenges.

Thank you Lucid8 for all your hard work and a GREAT Product that does what it says it does!!
One Sunday I was migrating a customer from Windows 2003 SBS with Exchange to Windows 2008 R2 hosting an Exchange 2010 installation. The Migration went OK, but when I tried to move the SBS out of the domain, the whole Domain started throwing errors and the new exchange 2010 crashed on me. I tried for about 20 straight hours to get it back up and running with no luck. Since I had the Mail Store database files, I went looking for some software to extract the data out to PST. After looking around I found very few companies including Lucid8 that provided support for Exchange 2010. After discovering corruption in the stores Lucid8 went above and beyond the call of duty by repairing the EDB, extracting the data and sending me out an External Hard Drive with all my users PST's. I simply imported them back into the new Domain and all was restored.

NO OTHER solution for Exchange eDiscovery and Recovery on the Market comes close to DigiScope.
The only thing I can say is that if you need to Search, Recover, or Extract an Email, Mailbox, Folder or Public Folder from an OFFLINE EDB or Production Exchange Server this is the only way to do it. There is NO OTHER solution for Exchange eDiscovery and Recovery on the market that comes close to the features and benefits DigiScope delivers.

The Best Mail Retriever for Exchange Hands Down
Recovering individual items and mailboxes used to be a painstaking process that would take me days or hours to accomplish, Now I complete these types of tasks in a fraction of the time. DigiScope is the best mail retriever for Exchange hands down and has made my life so much easier!

Immediate ROI of 250 percent!
The product in one word is Fantastic! In addition to the technology, what really impressed me was Lucid8's assistance & responsiveness. The bottom line is that quantifiable results have been immediate, and after crunching the numbers, it's estimated we've seen an immediate ROI of 250 percent with DigiScope.

Talk About Trial By Fire!
As luck would have it, we were heading into the holiday season (our busiest time) and the newspaper had a disaster strike its Exchange Server – a power glitch corrupted all the Exchange databases! Under normal circumstances the users would have been out of email for an extended period of time (costing us valuable revenue). Instead we created blank Exchange databases which allowed our 600 employees to immediately continue working (sending and receiving emails). Next we utilized DigiScope to repair and access the offline Exchange database so that we could repopulate each users mailbox on the fly with historical data by priority (Sales staff first, Executives, etc.) Talk about trial by fire! DigiScope has been a real lifesaver, our people were up and running in about 15 minutes.

Superb Product and Outstanding Support
We purchased a license and DigiScope worked perfectly. Not only was the feature set superb, the technical support was outstanding. I think I woke up a tech early this morning (we're on Eastern Time) with a problem we had. He was very helpful and knowledgeable, and got us working very quickly. Lucid8's DigiScope is now on our list of trusted products. Keep up the good work!

Essential for Sound Civil Litigation Management
In a litigious society being able to respond quickly and efficiently to civil litigation requests for electronic-stored information, notably e-mail, is becoming increasingly important. Software tools, such as DigiScope from Lucid8 that provide eDiscovery and granular recovery of e-mail elements are rapidly becoming essential for sound civil litigation management.

Hands Down the Best Exchange Recovery Software and Support Team Around
The Exchange Server crashed and we had no backups, just an EDB. After hours of researching and trying other products and being sorely disappointed in the results, I highly recommend Lucid8 and their DigiScope product. Hands down the best Exchange support team & Recovery software. The support team was super-fast, incredibly helpful and efficient during the evaluation and production recovery process. The software is amazingly simple to use, yet so powerful. I was able recover all the mailboxes, folders, messages, contacts, calendars and other messaging data from the EDB directly into the rebuilt Exchange server with just a few clicks. I couldn't be happier, this is how all software and support teams should work!

Cloud Strife's childhood friend from Nibelheim, martial artist Tifa Lockhart was the owner of the Seventh Heaven bar in Midgar and an original member of rebel group, AVALANCHE. She fought against Shinra Inc. with Barret, and later accompanied Cloud on his journey to defeat Sephiroth. Tifa held the key to unlocking Cloud's true past, and continued support him two years after FFVII.
She rebuilt the Seventh Heaven bar in Edge with the help of Barret and Cloud, and continued to look after Marlene in Barret's absence. She was regularly frustrated by Cloud's condition and his insistence at segregating himself from his friends, culminating in a desperate, exasperated argument in Advent Children after Marlene was kidnapped by Loz. Tifa later joined the rest of the regrouped AVALANCHE in battling Bahamut Sin in Edge.

List with a Twist: Game protagonists love a good suit, whether it's for style, practicality or protecting against headcrab bites there isn't an action hero this side of 1990 who sets foot outside without a quality power suit on. Anthony Bushell suits up in his best whistle and flute to run down five of the best…
Well, Props for avoiding the power armor in halo, haha.
It only took 2 non power suits to accomplish a list without it.

Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown — a candidate in the Democratic gubernatorial primary — says he attended the Preakness Day as an "official state function" rather than a campaign event. He may be duty-bound to attend Maryland's signature horse-racing event, but that didn't prevent Brown and his wife, Karmen, from having some fun.
And placing what he called "low-wager" bets.
Not coincidentally, all of his picks had Maryland connections. Brown went with favorite California Chrome to win the Preakness. Both the dam and one grand-dam of the horse were foaled and raised in Chestertown. Brown picked Ring Weekend — who trains at Fair Hill in Elkton — to place, and Bayern to show. Bayern will be ridden by Rosie Napravnik, who worked for the late Maryland trainer Dickie Small.
"I've been attending the Preakness, I think, for each of the past eight years, maybe with one or two years off for a family obligation," Brown said. "I love coming to the Preakness. It's a Maryland tradition. Look, It's great for the economy."
The casinos that have opened under the administration of Gov. Martin O'Malley and Brown have aided the horse racing industry by boosting the size of purses.
Many roads to Pimlico on Saturday were lined with campaign signs for Brown and other candidates in the June 24 primary. But most of the candidates themselves stayed away. It didn't seem to be the sort of event at which the spectators would pay much attention to politics.

Blue-eyed cockatoo
|Blue-eyed cockatoo
|At Walsrode Bird Park, Germany
|Scientific classification
C. ophthalmica
|Binomial name
|Cacatua ophthalmica
Sclater, 1864
|The Distribution of the blue-eyed cockatoo
The blue-eyed cockatoo (Cacatua ophthalmica) is a large, mainly white cockatoo approximately 50 centimetres (20 in) long with a mobile crest, a black beak, and a light blue rim of featherless skin around each eye that gives this species its name.
Like all cockatoos and many parrots, the blue-eyed cockatoo can use one of its zygodactyl feet to hold objects and to bring food to its beak whilst standing on the other foot; nevertheless, amongst bird species as a whole this is relatively unusual.
The blue-eyed cockatoo is a large, approximately 50 centimetres (20 in) long, mainly white cockatoo with an erectile yellow and white crest, a black beak, dark grey legs, and a light blue rim of featherless skin around each eye, that gives this species its name. The sexes are very similar in appearance. Some males have a dark brown iris and some females have a reddish-brown iris, but this small difference is not always reliable as a gender indicator. The blue-eyed cockatoo is easily mistaken for the yellow-crested and sulphur-crested cockatoos, but has a more rounded crest with more white to the frontal part, and a brighter blue eye-ring. The Blue-eyed cockatoo reaches full maturity after 4 years and lives an average of 50 years.
Blue-eyed cockatoo has been known to make demanding, but great house pets.This beautiful bird has been called by some as the friendliest and most loving of all the cockatoo species. Household skills include, but are not limited to, mimicking owners, laying on the back of loved ones, and of course their love to play. Due to their interaction ability, this pet requires quite a bit of attention. A lack of interaction could result in self-mutilation from the bird, that includes feather plucking. [2]
The blue eyed cockatoo's diet mainly consists of various seeds and nuts, as well as berries and fruits. They are also known to feed on insects and their larvae. They also have the same diet that an extra large parrot would have. Grains make up 50% of a blue eyed cockatoo's diet. Vegetables and fruits make up 45% of the diet and seeds and nuts make up about 5% of their diet. Grains that qualify as acceptable to give to the blue-eyed cockatoo include dry biscuits (crackers), rice, noodles, breakfast cereal such as chex and cheerios and pretzels.[3][4]
Habitat and status[edit]
The blue-eyed cockatoo is endemic to the lowland forests of New Britain in Papua New Guinea, and it is the only cockatoo in the Bismarck Archipelago. These low-land forests consist of primary (untouched) forests, selectively logged forests and gardened forests, or ones tended by indigenous people.In the 1960s researchers found it difficult to find the majestic bird due to their flight routes they took in these gardened forests. Packs of the bird would fly 3,280 feet in the air, resulting in a researching having a difficult time catching a sighting of them. They are not very particular of the types of trees they choose to nest, but are found more abundantly and actively in primary forests verse gardened forests. The nests are usually located in very large trees, at an average height of 41 metres (135 ft). Psittacine habits also suggest that blue-eyed cockatoos may make altitude and seasonal migratory movements throughout the year.[5] As of 2012 the blue-eyed cockatoo's population ranges from 10,000 mature individuals to 15,000 individuals in general. This population however is declining.[6]
Initially classified as a species of Least Concern by the IUCN in 2004, it is suspected to have become much rarer in recent times than was assumed previously. Consequently, it was uplisted to Vulnerable in 2008.[1]
The threat of this species is most likely due to the rapid clearing of lowland forest into oil plantations, in which the Blue-eyed cockatoo make their nesting sites. This rapid clearing is to be thought to have an effect in the cockatoo's breeding, which would cause a decline in the population.[7][8] Illegal trade has also caused a market for this species adding pressure to their decline. The traps used often prove to be damaging to the bird, some even consisting of branches covered in glue to capture them.[9] Unlike other bird species endemic to these forests, who may have been able to fare well in less densely forested areas such as "forest gardens", it appears that the Blue-eyed Cockatoo relies on primary forested areas.[10] Observations have been made of the blue-eyed cockatoo in other areas of the forest, however the density of these birds seems to be greatest in the primary forest region.[11]

The old adage says that if the shoe fits, wear it.
Pigeon John must have a whole lot of shoes.
He's a rapper, singer and writer, a man whose musical stylings evoke comparisons to fellow West Coast b-boys the Pharcyde and Black Eyed Peas. Likening his music's strong sense of melody and humor to that of Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, John finds yet another shoe to try: "Del meets Eddie Murphy ... I like that. I'm going to have to redo [Murphy's one-hit wonder] 'Party All the Time' with Del."
John started out in the early '90s as part of the West Coast's strong underground rap scene, which became known for its brand of "thoughtful hip-hop" that features strong beats fringing smart, politically and socially conscious lyrics.
John doesn't typecast himself musically, however. His second album, Pigeon John Is Dating Your Sister, is an exercise in fun and inventive hip-hop, tapping a range of genres. It's an album designed to make you get down as much as make you think.
In fact, John is quick to point out the good, the bad and the ugly of all genres, bemoaning the current state of commercial music.
"I can listen to KROC in L.A. for two hours, and it has summed up the entire season of music. It's as repetitive as any rap or R&B station. The pop-punk thing is pretty much pop with guitars; just replace it with clean clothes and five dancing guys. Or take the Backstreet Boys. Put 'em in black Dickies and give 'em guitars -- you've got your punk. And with rap it's either club or gangsta -- that is it."
Visually, John's a dichotomy of the old and new. A rumpled fedora is a constant companion, and his style is often reminiscent of '40s-era entertainers; he cites Cab Calloway, Sammy Davis Jr., and Frank Sinatra as heavy influences. Live performances are invigorating and aim at getting the crowd involved.
"Modern rock 'n' roll [doesn't focus on] engaging the crowd. I always wondered why they seem to be taking the easy route, just looking at their Converse and playing their guitar," muses John. "With hip-hop, it's always like an exercise event. Back when the DJ was the MC, they were only there to get the party more hyper than it was, to engage the crowd. I try to do that, along with a little from the swing era, like Cab Calloway, with his call-and-response. You know, 'hi-dee-hoooo!'"
John's newest product is the EP Pigeon John Sings the Blues, featuring a new, bluesier side of the rapper. With lyrics like "All I wanna do is be Radiohead / and do something ingenious," he calls it his "morning-after music."
That's pretty heavy stuff for a man who counts De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, The Beach Boys, The Beatles and Stevie Wonder among his musical guides. In fact, his goal is to combine them all into one form. John believes it's a sound worth striving for, but isn't sure he's nailed it down.
"Not yet," he laughs. "I'm still working on the potion."

These two introductory points bring us to the so-called Monty Hall Problem (or Monty Hall Paradox as some people call it.) The Monty Hall Problem was first explained in popular terms by Marilyn von Savant in Parade magazine in 1990. She explains it thus
It turns out, despite the apparently counter-intuitive nature such a problem, it is indeed to your advantage to which door if you are given the choice. There are a number of ways to explain this claim which at first glance seems so patently false. But I am no mathematician and so I choose an easier way to explain it that makes sense to those of us who cannot do it with numbers and equations. The explanation is simple - in the initial choice you have a one in three change of winning the car. After one door has been opened, if you choose not to switch doors, you still have a one in three chance of winning the car. However, if you switch doors you have a fifty-fifty chance of winning the car. The initial problem is so counter-intuitive that I did the experiment myself. I tried the experiment two hundred times, one hundred of which I didn't change my door and one hundred of which I did. When I switched doors I won 14 more times than when I didn't change doors.Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1 [but the door is not opened], and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?
Besides the fascinating issue of the problem itself, what I find interesting about the Monty Hall Problem is that, as pointed out by von Savant in her book The Power of Logical Thinking, "even Nobel physicists systematically give the wrong answer, and they insist on it, and they are ready to berate in print those who propose the right answer."
I will let people draw their own conclusions concerning the implications of these interesting issues. One thing that I think von Savant's problem has demonstrated is that there is more to the work of Thomas Kuhn than many people might think.

Hello, blog of mine! I'm not even going to look at the date on my previous post; ok, it was last Fall!!
I'm working on a few summer resolutions: losing some weight, marketing some soap at some local events, and using up some of my fabric stash. Maybe this blog could be a little outlet for keeping myself accountable.
Monday is the official start date for my new meal plan. I figured I would get through my birthday weekend first! I'm playing around with the thought of posting a "before" picture, as I start on this weight loss journey. Not sure if I have the courage to put a picture up, though. Still thinking about it.....
I have a phone call in to a couple of farmer's market organizers in the surrounding area. We, as a family, attended one this past Saturday; and I was disappointed in the vendor and customer turnout. I'm glad that I didn't set up a table and only walked around to get a feel for the market. Their were only 5 vendors! I'm hoping that the other market will have a greater attendance both in vendors and shoppers! Even though the set-up fee is only $5, I still want to feel that my time will be well-used.
One of the first projects using some of my fabric is placemats. I've had a few orders placed (thanks mom), so I've cut out 5 sets. Right now I'm assembling and sewing them adding a layer of interfacing for stability.
More to come! We're enjoying some sunshine today....with a handful of fresh-picked strawberries.

I'm a bit late this weekend, but here are the next installments from my Paris album.
After out trip out to Rouen, we had just enough time to dash off the train, get changed and walk down the rue to the Moulin Rouge. We'd decided to splash out on tickets for a dinner and the show at the Moulin Rouge. The photo above was actually taken on a different night - we weren't allowed to take our camera into the show so we left it at home rather than risk cloaking it.
The top left and bottom right photos are ones we took, the others are stock photos off the internet. The middle left photo was one I was pleased to find, as it showed pretty much the exact table we sat st for the show! We were about 3 rows back in the tiered section and nearly directly in the middle. Perfect view! We shared our table with a lovely couple from South Africa who we enjoyed chatting with during breaks in the show. We loved the Moulin Rouge, it was a fabulous dinner and a spectacular show.
The next day we were up and going early, with our first stop being the Cemetery Montematre, near where we were staying. There were lots more famous people buried there, including Adolph Sax, Offenbach, Degas and Alexandre Dumas. Actually, Dumas has been shifted to the Pantheon, but his grave is still there. It was a pretty cemetery, not as gothic as the other one we visited - I can't recall it's name right now!
Bye for now,

01-10 Duramax Full Bore Exhaust Manifold
In stock
The factory driver's side exhaust manifold is pinched down to allow for steering shaft clearance, which actually isn't required. As a result, this manifold only flows 80% of the passenger side. This full bore exhaust manifold restores exhaust flow balance, improving power and reducing EGT. Made from high-silicon ductile iron, the Full Bore Manifold is a direct, bolt-in replacement for the factory manifold and is even drilled and tapped to accept the most popular EGT probes.

Expanding Vocabulary with EET
You may have seen those magical letters floating around Pinterest and the blog world. Those letters stand for Expanding Expression Tool. It is a multi-sensory approach for expanding vocabulary and verbal expression created by Sara L. Smith. Click HERE to learn more about the products and see how you can grab an EET for yourself!
I have been using EET for almost 2 years now. The progress has been amazing! First of all, my students love anything that they can touch and play with! They also love anything that helps them and makes communicating easier! I always start out my school year with introducing the EET and teaching each "bead." I have created some activities to help teach each "bead." You can learn more about them by clicking the following links:
Once my students have learned how to use the EET with common vocabulary and objects, we incorporate the EET to describing curriculum vocabulary. I bring in social studies and science vocabulary and allow them to practice! I even give them graphic organizers to complete which they can bring home to study from! They have found this extremely helpful! Some examples of vocabulary concepts: volcano, knight, lungs, galaxy, government, and cells.
For my older students, we practice reading non-fiction stories and articles and complete graphic organizers with information learned from the text. We use markers or highlighters to locate the evidence in the text! This is a great skill for them to learn and practice! It has even helped them learn how to locate key words and phrases and not just highlight complete sentences! Click HERE to read a previous post about using EET for reading non-fiction texts!
If you are unfamiliar with EET, I recommend checking out their website and watching the video on it about them. There are also several videos on YouTube as well. I look forward to continue using EET in my speech therapy room and watching my students progress even further!
