Garry Monk has hit back at criticism from Reading manager Jaap Stam, saying he felt "embarrassed" for the Dutchman after Stam accused Leeds United of employing negative tactics.
Stam slated United's style of play in the wake of a frustrating night at Elland Road on Tuesday which saw Reading retain 77 per cent of possession but succumb to a 2-0 defeat.
The former Manchester United defender was outwitted by Monk as Leeds' head coach rode a selection crisis by flooding his midfield and picking Reading off with a 19th-minute goal from Chris Wood and an injury-time penalty from Souleymane Doukara.
The visitors' inability to work United out brought taunts of 'boring, boring Reading' from the Elland Road crowd as possession moved around amongst Stam's defence. Centre-backs Liam Moore and Paul McShane made over 100 passes each and more between them than Leeds' entire team combined.
Reading's dominance of the ball resulted in only two shots on target but asked about the crowd's jeering, Stam said: "If you think this is boring then I think they need to have a look at their own team and how they play.
"They can say 'we won' and of course at the end it's about the result but if you need to play like that then I don't want to be a manager. I don't want to play and just wait and wait and wait. That's not my type of playing, my type of tactics.
"You can say congratulations to Garry Monk, he got the result and everyone wants results, but in terms of way of playing it's not my cup of tea."
Monk responded today by saying: "It doesn't really bother me too much but I felt a little bit embarrassed for him to be saying those type of comments.
"We all want to win games. Sometimes when we don't win, afterwards emotions are still high and it's hard to hide your disappointment. It doesn't affect us at all. We were very happy with our performance and we were the most dangerous team on the pitch. We were clinical and we had the best chances, two goals and a clean sheet. That's all we're focused on."

It doesn't really bother me too much but I felt a little bit embarrassed for him to be saying those type of comments"Garry Monk on Jaap Stam
Monk went into Tuesday's match against a Reading side who are third in the Championship with a significantly weakened squad after a ban incurred by Kalvin Phillips added him to an absentee list including Eunan O'Kane and Pablo Hernandez. Striker Marcus Antonsson was lost to a back problem ahead of the game and a hamstring strain suffered by top scorer Wood on 30 minutes forced Monk to throw on Liam Bridcutt a week after the midfielder's return from a three-month lay-off.
United's strategy against Reading replicated the approach last month's League Cup quarter-final defeat at Liverpool, where Monk's side sat deep and tried to threaten on the break, and Wood's early goal left Reading with the challenge of playing through a congested midfield.
Stam's side finally threatened in the closing stages, drawing fingertip saves from Rob Green through Roy Beerens and Yann Kermorgant, but Doukara sealed United's win after Chris Gunter tripped Charlie Taylor inside Reading's box.
"I was pleased to see that we could adapt," Monk said. "I've got three ways of looking at games - where we set up to attack, where we set up to protect and where we set up to use a balance of both. You've seen games this season where we've used all three.
"In the Reading game we set up to protect and we did the same at Liverpool. The performance levels were extremely high, exactly what we wanted to deliver, and it went to plan. When we choose to attack, the best examples are our two games against Norwich. The balance in between you've seen in the majority of our games but as a manager you have to pick what's best.
"It's great for the future of this group that they can adapt, take on different game plans and execute them to a high level. We put on a very good performance, we won the game deservedly, everyone could see that and we move on. We know what we're trying to do and as long as we keep delivering, it's all we need to worry about."
Asked if he felt Leeds deserved more credit from Stam, Monk said: "The credit comes from within. Our supporters appreciated the way we set up. Circumstances dictated that but they understood our game plan well. The most important thing is that the players trust everything we're doing and they're coming through with flying colours.
"This my view on football. The majority of our games will be about finding the right balance between attack and defence. At other times it'll tip the scales either way. I always feel as a manager that a big bonus to have is to be adaptable. It shows a high skill level to be a player who can adapt and play in different ways."

Short Excerpt:
"Jesus, Anita." He interrupted, his face darkening. "He's a fucking playboy. You can't seriously be thinking of going out with him."
Colette and I both stopped chewing and stared at him.
"You're an innocent. He'll eat you up and spit out the remains, then move on to the next willing body. Is that what you want? To be just another notch on his already well-scarred headboard? I didn't think you were like that."
I'm not.
Heat bloomed in my cheeks, and the toast crumbs threatened to lodge in my throat. I swallowed them down, and sought my composure. "It's only dinner."
"Yeah, only dinner. Then he pounces. What if you're so flattered you can't refuse? He's a complete fuckwit, mark my words."
"But Danny, you said—only the other day—you wanted to meet him. What's changed?"
He rolled his eyes and stomped into the kitchen, arms crossed. "I'd like to meet him, as one bloke to another. I don't want you to get involved with him. He'll fucking destroy you."
I sat there, unable to say anything. I'd known Danny all my life, and he'd never behaved like this before.
He tugged angrily at his tufty, ginger hair, and sat down next to me at the table. "Anita." His voice was gentle. "He shags women and moves on. His wife divorced him because he couldn't keep his dick in his pants. He dates models and actresses, not nice young girls who work in bookshops. He's bad news. Please don't go out with him. You're not that type of girl."
It felt as though Danny had smacked me in the face. His words rang through my head. Could he be right?

Music is interwoven so tightly into my writing that I can't untangle the two. Either I'm listening to a playlist on my iPod, have music seeping from my laptop speakers, or there's a song playing in my head – sometimes on auto-repeat.

Dallas, TX—Deputy Sergeant Michael Monnig might look okay now, but just a few days ago he was in the back of a plastic protected ambulance when doctors thought he might have Ebola. "And when I heard 101.7° and I looked at the nurses with wide eyes, I wondered if my ticket had been punched. I wondered if it was time," Monnig said.
Monnig was assigned to deliver the quarantine order at the Ivy Apartments where Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan had been staying. He says officials said he didn't need protective suits.
"Touched the light switch, touched the door knob, stepped into the apartment, stepped into the living room area just to see if it was safe. I could see the uncertainty in [the family's] eyes."
Wednesday, he came down with headaches, nausea, and flu symptoms. But some are asking, why would he go to a Care Now Clinic, in a waiting room with other people? He says that's what a city health official told him to do.
"I called up Dr . Perkins and said, 'What do you want me to do? I'm following your directions to call you, what do you want me to do?' And that's when he stated to either get with my primary care physician or go to a health care clinic. At my primary care physician, the line was busy I couldn't actually get into contact with her, so, again according to his directives, that's when I went into Care Now. To look up and see the plastic bagging everywhere, it was a little scary."
It turns out he had an unidentifiable viral infection.
When asked his reaction when he got the news, "I was still attached to numerous IV's so I couldn't really run out," he said when asked his reaction when he got the news.
His wife, Lisa, was on a flight from Atlanta.
"The entire flight, all you could think of is, 'What if I lose him?' I had to make a connection in New Orleans, and as we were on the approach to land in New Orleans, I looked out the window and saw a rainbow, and I knew everything was going to be okay," she said.
"I had a television, but I really didn't turn it on much, because it was all about me," he laughed when asked about what he did while waiting on his test results.

Author: Bowman
[ 9 Pa. Commw. Page 298]
A multiplicity of administrative and judicial remedies afforded to the Department of Environmental Resources (DER) in enforcement of the numerous environmental statutes of the Commonwealth underlies the issues in this case. It is presently before us on defendant's preliminary objections to a complaint in equity.
[ 9 Pa. Commw. Page 299]
On April 24, 1972, DER issued an order against Leechburg Mining Company requiring it to take certain steps to bring its coal mining operation in compliance with various provisions of The Clean Streams Law, the Coal Refuse Disposal Control Act and the Pennsylvania Solid Waste Management Act,*fn1 concerning the collection and treatment of runoff from a coal refuse disposal area and making operable its mine water treatment facility. Leechburg was also directed to apply to DER for a permit to operate such a disposal area and a treatment facility pursuant to applicable provisions of the statutes cited.
From this order Leechburg appealed to the Environmental Hearing Board.*fn2 On July 10, 1972, by agreement of the parties, the Board entered a Partial Consent Adjudication which expanded upon and modified certain provisions of the departmental order in question. In addition to agreeing to comply with the aforementioned acts with respect to the violations charged to it by the DER order, Leechburg also agreed to take certain steps to bring its operation in compliance with the Air Pollution Control Act.*fn3
Specifically the Partial Consent Adjudication directs the defendant: (a) to place its treatment facilities into full operation so that effluent capable of treatment
[ 9 Pa. Commw. Page 300]
meets Department standards; (b) to construct ditches to divert surface water away from its refuse disposal area and collect runoff which could not be diverted; (c) to submit to the DER a preliminary report with regard to the collection and treatment of all discharges of industrial waste from its coal refuse disposal area and the prevention of air pollution from its coal refuse disposal area; (d) to submit a complete and formal application for a Bureau of Water Quality Management Permit for the operation, collection and treatment of those discharges from its coal refuse disposal area that it is required by law to treat; (e) to deposit all current coal refuse on the disposal area permitted under its Coal Refuse Disposal Permit and in compliance with the requirements of the Coal Refuse Disposal Act; and (f) to apply to the DER for a Solid Waste Management Act Permit on or before September 30, 1972, or advise the Board that it would not apply, at which time a hearing would be held before the Board on whether or not such a permit could be required. In each case, a time in which compliance is to be achieved is specified in the Partial Consent Adjudication.
No appeal has been taken from the Board's Partial Consent Adjudication, and no further proceedings have been sought or conducted by the Board ...

As they are gathering their 'forces' and making their plans an unexpected event presents a unique opportunity for the crew to move on the Blood Slaver station, but they must move now. Will they make it in time or will the Blood Slavers have recovered?
It seems that Lauren has left the blood slavers in the cold! The Carthians have organized their people to move on the homeworld and Fujita Mason has rounded up some pirates and other unsavory characters to help. The Carthians were also able to get Raugraf Ordulf on the station to get the lay of the land.
Just as the crew was going to go and retrieve the Stygian Shard the rest of the Blood Slaver's alliance has falls to pieces when the Maricaibo attack the station.

Alright, I'm posting these two together so I can get caught up on showing you what I made back in February.
This little quilt had very specific requests to be very simple and minimal, using only white and navy and various shades of blue for a nautical themed nursery. I was inspired by this quilt I saw on Pinterest.
I especially love the back. It's a Two-Inch Stripes in Navy and to make it a bit longer I added a few extra stripes in the anchors fabric.
She was sweet enough to send me pictures of the nursery all ready for her little's arrival!
This quilt was requested in gender-neutral greens, blues, yellows and browns with animal prints. Just some simple disappearing nine-patch blocks.
Love the Heather Ross strawberries print!!!
It's been hard to be indoors with the nice weather we've been having lately. Hope everyone else is seeing signs of spring too!

I love making baby quilts! Very do-able. Clever you to insert strips on the back. What a lovely nursery that baby has. Beautiful quilts x two!

LOVE that first one - it is just perfect for a nautical theme without being to novelty-ish.
- Bonnie said...
Your nautical inspired quilt is lovely. It really fits the room so beautifully. I came visiting from Wyoming Breezes blog where Nancy gave you credit for the design of the quilt she was showing. Cant't think of the name but it is the 2.5" squares one in your free tutorial tab. It's a great design. Thanks for sharing it.

AZUSA — A year ago, both Alaska Anchorage and California Baptist were the surprise teams of the women's NCAA Division II West Regional.
The host Seawolves were the top-ranked team in the country and dominant at home, and CBU was making its first NCAA appearance. UAA got knocked out of the tournament in the first round by Point Loma and the upstart Lancers took off on an historic postseason run to the NCAA championship game.
The two programs met for the first time on Saturday night intent on making new history in this year's West Regional. When it was finally over, Alaska Anchorage had enough firepower at the end to defeat the Lancers 83-79 in overtime and advance to Monday's championship game.
There were no surprises this year as No. 3 CBU (29-3) came out firing up 3-pointers and the No. 6 Seawolves (35-2) created mayhem with a swarming, pressing defense. Both teams adjusted – UAA had to change its defense and the Lancers found some success inside – making for a playoff-worthy, back-and-forth game featuring 12 lead changes and 14 ties.
"The game was definitely intense," CBU's Cassidy Mihalko said. "It was fast paced and we were running … We like to play fast paced and Alaska matched that. It was a fun game."
Mihalko's 3-pointer put CBU up 39-36 at the half. The Lancers built the lead to eight in the third quarter, but the Seawolves opened the fourth with a 7-0 run. UAA led the nation in steals (14.2), but it was its scoring balance that started to take over. Eleven different players scored in the game. Alysha Devine's 3-pointer with 1:30 left gave UAA the lead, but CBU eventually tied in closing seconds on a driving layup by Kamille Diaz.
In overtime, a 3-pointer by Erin Asher gave the Lancers a lead, but UAA responded and closed out the extra period with a 7-2 run, ending the Lancers' season.
"I wasn't really hitting too much in the first half," said Devine, who finished with 15 points, 13 coming in the second half. "I knew they would fall eventually, I just have to keep shooting."
Afterward, CBU coach Jarrod Olson spoke about the program's growth over the past two years, recalling when the core group of the team were freshmen and lost seven straight games at one point.
"You could just tell there was a lot of fight in them," he said. "Last year at this time we just hit our stride and we really kept going, gelling as a team, and we carried it over to this year … You know it's so hard, it just takes a lot out of you … this year it just didn't happen for us, but it doesn't mean we're any less proud of the way we played."
The Lancers held GNAC player of the year Megan Mullings to 1 of 4 shooting in the first half. She finished with 10 points. Jessica Madison led the Seawolves with 17 points.
Diaz led CBU with 23 points and Mihalko finished with 18 points and 12 rebounds. Asher and Courtney Nelson each added 11 points and Megan Frerer grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds.

IRIS: A New Approach to Tax Planning with IOVAs
Jefferson National's CEO, Mitch Caplan, introduces a new approach to tax planning.
The key to meeting retirement income goals is to maximize accumulation by keeping costs low, protecting principal, and minimizing taxes. For only $20/month*, Our Retirement Income solution may help you do just that. Among the Monument Advisor variable annuity's 350+ investment choices, Jeff Nat offers direct access to the same strategies insurance companies use to create income guarantees and downside risk protection, but at a third to half the cost. Compounding that savings over time can potentially help build more reliable retirement income streams for your clients. More...
CEO Mitchell Caplan re-caps 2015 and looks ahead to the rest of 2016.
Jefferson National's CEO, Mitch Caplan, introduces a new approach to tax planning.
Unlike many others in its space, Jefferson National's platform is described as simple and straightforward, according to an article published in Kiplinger.
This report offers a solution to meeting client return expecations in the current market environment.
For years, Jefferson National has followed the polarizing debate around whether variable annuities are a key part of retirement planning—or the worst of all possible investment vehicles. See how this debate unfolds in a recent ThinkAdvisor article written by Jefferson National President, Larry Greenberg, entitled "Annuities are neither Good nor Bad—as Long as Clients Come First."
RIABiz gathered insights from several industry experts, including Jefferson National's President Larry Greenberg, to discuss the results from a Morningstar® report. According to the new research, retirees can cut the purchase price of an annuity by as much as 50% if they refrain from buying them right out of the retirement gate.
Seattle-area Advisor Roland Thompson is a CFP who works primarily with Boomer clients who value simplicity. Watch Roland explain how JeffNat offered him a simple way for clients' non-qualified assets to leverage the accumulating power of low-cost tax deferral.
See how JeffNat's service team earned Jessi Howe's trust and respect with dynamic service that saved her time, paperwork, and unnecessary headaches.
What happens to a client's investment when they are able to trade expensive, commission-based expenses for a low, flat fee? See how Jorge Padilla leverages Monument Advisor for cost savings and greater transparency.
An article from Investopedia mentions JeffNat when discussing the "Best Strategy" for using a VA. The author highlights the benefits of using low-cost VAs, especially after maxing out 401(k) and IRA contributions.

This exercise is one of the most effective ways to burn calories
This might have you giving up running for good.
If you want to up your workout, you've got to learn to love running, right?
Perhaps not.
A study commissioned by Men's Health Magazine might suggest that running in fact isn't the best calorie burner. In a blind study comparing cardio results, the magazine tested the calories burned for SoulCycle (cycle machine), Mile High Run Club (treadmill), RowZone (rower) and Rise Nation (versaclimber).
So out of running, rowing, cycling or climbing, which is the best cardio exercise?
The winner? Climbing, with it burning 22.3 calories every minute.
Second place went to rowing with 13.8 calories/minute, following by running and cycling on 13.3.
Climbing was a whopping 9 calories/minute more effective than running, which is a notable difference.
RELATED: The workouts that burn the most calories
While this study used a versaclimber, which does focus more on a cardio aspect than rock climbing, which is more about skill and strength, there have been other studies which confirm the benefits of climbing.
In a study published in 1997, fourteen climbers were asked to complete three rock courses of increasing difficulty, taking five minutes per wall. Scientists found that, on average, climbing an indoor wall was equivalent to running a mile in 8-11 minutes in terms of energy expenditure.
Translation: rock climbing is one of the most efficient ways to burn calories.
That's not even mentioning how social and fun rock climbing can be. Perhaps we'll be swapping out our weekend runs with the girls for scaling walls?

Little Texas at the Fredericksburg Crayfish Festival
Fredericksburg, Texas is a medium sized town located along US Highway 290 in the Texas Hill Country. Although it is the county seat for Gillespie County, it is best known as a tourist destination. Its German heritage is on display, with a number of German and Austrian restaurants, along with a store where it is Christmas all year long! Its Western heritage is also on display with several western clothing stores, the ironworks store and several stores with large John Wayne decorated items for sale. Fredericksburg is also the heart of the Texas Hill Country's wine industry, with several tasting rooms in town and another dozen or so within a few miles of town.
It is also the home of one of the largest World War II museums in Texas (and Texas has several). Admiral Chester W. Nimitz grew up in Fredericksburg. The hotel that his parents owned is now a part of the National Museum of the Pacific War, located right in the center of town. The museum takes up an entire block, and these are not small "city blocks." If you plan to visit, it will take several hours to quickly explore the museum. It is filled with photographs and artifacts from the War in the Pacific.
Today, we went to Fredericksburg for the annual Crayfish Festival. It is a charity event, sponsored by the Jaycees, and running from May 26 through May 28 in the center of town, just across the street from the Gillespie County Court House. This year, one of the bands that will perform is Little Texas. Pay for admission to the festival, and the music is free.
When we got there, we had the perennial problem of finding parking. Most of the parking is street parking and its usually filled up, even the handicap spaces. We wandered down Main Street (US 290), doing a little window shopping. When we got to the festival, they had to look us up and issue us our attendance wrist bands.
We wandered through the booths. There was crayfish and shrimp any way you want them cooked. There was various German cuisines. There were handcrafts and assorted other "festival vendors." We found a familiar vendor and bought ourselves bratwursts for dinner. Once we got our food and beers, we headed to the music tent. We had already missed the first band of the day — the Bush Holloway Band.
After a short break, the Bayou Roux band took the stage. They were from Louisiana and their style was Cajun. They also had "Marti Gras" beads – lots of them &ndash: which they handed out liberally.
A solo performer took the stage while they change the stage. I did not catch his name.
Next, and for us, the main event:
They were pushing their new album, playing a number of songs from it.
They also played a number of their older songs, including:
- Amy's Back in Austin
- Kick a Little
- What Might Have Been
- God Blessed Texas
We had a great time!

Milan, San Siro
Fairs Cup Round 3 (Playoff)
Attendance: 40,000
Attendance: 40,000
Referee: H Baumgartner
Without doubt, Chelsea were regarded as London's most glamorous football club in the bigining of the 1965-66 season, on the verge of realising that potential foreseen by Gus Mears and Frederick Parker in those long ago Edwardian days. Disappointingly, the team was never seriously in contention for the League championship, Liverpool maintaining a formidable lead from Christmas onwards, and a final sixth place was considered less than satisfactory. To prevent fixture congestion Chelsea made the decision not to defend their Football League Cup in view of qualification for European competition.
The Inter-Cities Fairs Cup was now more prestigious, and more highly organised, than when the Blues made an earlier brief appearance in 1958-59, with AC Milan, Barcelona, Standard Liege and Sporting Lisbon this time among the entrants. And immediately it caught the imagination and attracted large crowds. With 36,000 terrace spaces available at tour shillings (aop) and top-priced seats 15 shillings (75p), Chelsea's five home fixtures in that competition managed to bank over £100,000. AS Roma provided the first opposition, a 1-1 victory in the first leg at Stamford Bridge virtually deciding the outcome, this game including the sending off of Eddie McCreadie. Seeming not to be particularly significant at the time, the repercussions in Home a fortnight later were horrendous. Bottles, aimed at Chelsea players, were thrown on to the pitch, one of them hitting John Boyle, and after somehow holding out for a goalless draw their retreat to the airport was marked by further outbreaks of violence with the team coach, the primary target, suffering considerable damage.
After Wiener Sport-Club, from Austria, had been beaten in the second round, AC Milan were Chelsea's next opponents, a stunning goal from Osgood at The Bridge enabling the tie to be squared at 3-3, both teams winning their home fixtures, 2-1. With such unwanted intrusions as penalty shoot-outs unheard of in those days, it was back to the San Siro Stadium for the third instalment, skipper Ron Harris losing the toss for the right to stage the match. But 'Chopper' was never one to accept defeat lightly, and when an epic play-off, ending in deadlock at l-l, had still failed to separate the teams, Harris once more found himself in the guessing business. This time his correct call of'heads' may have provided an unworthy conclusion to a memorable five and a half hour contest, but at least most neutral observers made Chelsea winners on merit. Docherty's team were fast learners and rapidly becoming 'streetwise'.
TSV Munchen proved less of an obstacle, a 3-2 aggregate win providing a passport into the semifinal and a meeting with mighty CF Barcelona. Despite so much solid achievement and so much progress within the dub, rifts were beginning to appear between manager and certain players. Ven-ables had masterminded his own tactical plan for the team in Rome six months earlier, successfully using Marvin H in ton as 'sweeper' to protect Chelsea's three-goal lead, with Docherty completely unaware of such scheming behind his back. McCreadie had become disillusioned and was openly expressing his dissatisfaction, and Bridges, also, was none too happy after returning from England's close-season tour to find his club place in jeopardy. A two-goal deficit from the first semi-final leg in Barcelona's Nou Camp stadium was cancelled by a similar score in Chelsea's favour at The Bridge, both goals being attributed to Spanish defenders.
But, after again failing to guess correctly in the toss for choice of venue, the third chapter ended decisively 5-0 in Barcelona's favour. McCreadie, Venables and Bridges were, significantly, among the absentees. A month earlier Chelsea's FA Cup aspirations had again been halted in a Villa Park semi-final, 'underdogs' Sheffield Wednesday cantering home to a win, considerably easier than the score suggested. After the final whistle Docherty, unable to hide his feelings, was clearly furious. Chelsea's best team up to that time and, collectively, still some way short of their peak, was about to be broken up. Venables was transferred to Spurs, Britlges and Murray to Birmingham City, and George Graham departed to Arsenal. The dissatisfaction of others was, in some cases, temporarily hidden beneath the fallen masonry. Even so, the damage which such wanton destruction caused was never wholly to be restored.

Having said that I have come to appreciate the true utilitarian quality of the not-so-fashionable mountain hardwear and have embraced with giant, down clad arms the advances in climbing technology since the original 'puffa jacket' was developed by George Ingle-Finch in the 1920s and since George Mallory and Andrew Irvine set out for eternal Everest glory in their hob-nail boots.
Gone are the days of grandmothers home-knitted socks, sealskin - wool jackets combos.... Welcome to the new era of mountain fashion featuring merino wool, kevlar liners, gore-tex of every size, shape and color, and crampons that double as corkscrews for the celebration vino upon a successful summit...
Weight: .015 kgs
Sizing note: This line runs small. We suggest that you order a half size larger than you typically wear.
Additional comments: Not recommended for wear anywhere that requires walking (unless it's red-carpet). Avoid cracks in pavement, driving and dates with men under 5'5".
Exhibit B: Millet Everest boots, red & black

Recently, linear Fresnel reflectors (LFR) arouse an increasing interest by the scientific and industrial community and have had a really fast development in the domain of concentrated solar power (CSP). LFR is considered as a promising technology which could produce an optical performance lower than those of parabolic trough collector, but its component simplicity would allow high cost reductions in its manufacturing compared to high investment costs of parabolic troughs. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the optical performances of an LFR prototype developed in the framework of CHAMS project, Morocco. The development of this prototype comes to supply industrial applications needing heat at small to medium temperature levels. To achieve this objective, an optical code based on the Monte Carlo (MC) ray tracing technique was developed for optical optimization purposes. The developed code identifies geometrical parameters that have a greater influence on optical efficiency of the LFR system as the mirror spacing arrangement, the receiver height, the receiver geometrical configuration taking into account the secondary reflector shape, and the absorber tube diameter. An analysis is conducted to identify the contribution of each mode of optical losses (blocking, shading, cosine…) in the optical efficiency of the system. Then, an optimization procedure is applied to enhance the optical performances of the prototype.

text: I recently started Celexa. I take it for anxiety, OCD, and postpartum depression. I took 10mg for 4 weeks and it didn't seem to really help me that much. I recently increased the dose to 20 mg and have been feeling much more anxious. I've only taken the 20mg for a few days but I feel more jumpy, agitated, and just on edge more. Are these normal side effects from increasing the dose? I felt this a little when starting the 10mg, but not as bad. I know there are other side effects, but wanted to see if increased anxiety can happen when you raise the dose?

For more than a decade, I suffered from numerous mysterious or rare maladies. I saw internists, gastroenterologists, endocrinologists, chiropractors, orthopedists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, pyschiatrists, phychologists, dermatologists, urologists, osteopaths, and then three rheumatologists. Some of them offered relief for my symptoms, but no one offered a cause.

sends drivers spinning
Otsego County Sheriff's Dept.
* The Otsego County Sheriff's Dept. responded to a one-vehicle accident Wednesday afternoon at 4, one-half mile east of Lewis Road on Thumb Lake Road in Corwith Township.
The driver of a 1989 Subaru, Mary Beth Wakulat, 53, of Gaylord, told investigators she lost control of her vehicle on the slushy road.
Wakulat was eastbound when she lost control and rolled her vehicle in the north ditch. The investigation revealed she was driving too fast for conditions, but no citation was issued.

text: ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- The state's top player and 17 other high school seniors rounded out Michigan's 2006 recruiting class Wednesday. Brandon Graham, a linebacker from Detroit, and offensive lineman Justin Boren from Pickerington, Ohio, head the group coach Lloyd Carr and his staff will welcome this fall. "I don't normally make predictions, but four or five years from now this will be one of the better classes we've had," Carr said. "I think the potential is outstanding." The 6-foot-2-inch Graham was the Gatorade Player of the Year in Michigan and was a USA Today and Parade all-America selection. Boren, a 6-4, 305 pounder, could see playing time this season as the Wolverines focused on linemen on both sides of the ball during the recruiting period. "I think Brandon Graham will join some of the great players we've had out of the city of Detroit," Carr said before mentioning former linebacker Larry Foote, who will play for Pittsburgh on Sunday in the Super Bowl. Carr said the Wolverines will sign one more player next week. Four members of this season's class came from Michigan while 12 states account for the rest. Ten of the 18 attended the school's summer camp. Carr, who visited 16 states in 15 days last month, said the school did not sign as many players from Michigan as usual, but is looking forward to a strong in-state class this fall. A survey of recruiting analysts' rankings had the Wolverines third in the Big Ten behind Penn State and Ohio State and in the top 20 nationally. Several analysts had Boren, Graham, offensive lineman Stephen Schilling (Bellevue, Wash.) and defensive backs Stevie Brown (Columbus, Ind.) and Jonas Mouton (Los Angeles) in their top 100. Boren, running back Carlos Brown (Franklin, Ga.), Schilling and receiver Greg Mathews (Harrisburg, Pa.) joined Graham on the Parade all-America roster. Carr said Brown and Mouton also could vie for time in the secondary this season as Michigan looks to address a lack of depth there. Both Boren and Brown enrolled at Michigan last month and will be with the team when it begins spring practice March 18. Fullback Kevin Grady followed the same path a year ago and saw several snaps with the starting offense last fall. "I don't encourage guys to do that," Carr said, "because they are giving up the last semester of their senior year and all the things that go along with that. "I think in terms of their college careers, (enrolling early is) a great advantage depending on their maturity. If they're capable of playing as a freshman, it's a wonderful advantage. They get a real jump." Carr refused to comment on speculation that he will shake up his staff in the wake of last season (7-5 overall and 5-3 in the Big Ten.) Defensive coordinator Jim Herrmann or offensive coordinator Terry Malone could be the target of such changes.

I visit some friends in Door County, WI, every summer. I don't always head over to see Lupe after that, but I've done it before and I did it last summer. Severe back pain had limited his activities the previous time I'd been there, and this time he wuz hurting from a horrible case of constipation. I think he said he hadn't shit in three weeks. His doc kept telling him it wuz no big deal. He saw the dude again the day after I got there and, once again, wuz assured he didn't need to be admitted to the hospital. Just got some pills to deal with the problem. So the next day I actually said to him, "Well, now that I know you're not dying, I'm gonna head out tomorrow." Then three or four days later, back at home, I got a call from our boy saying he'd admitted himself to the hospital a couple days after I'd left (the pills having no effect) and been told he had pancreatic cancer...and had less than three months to live. We talked a bit about it at that time, and we talked again a week later. Can't remember what wuz said cuz there obviously wasn't much to say at that point. About a month later, either on Facebook or from an email, I got the word from Kolnick that Lupe had died.
There's not much to say now either, I guess, unless you've got a belief system that you think applies. I do, but I only think of it as something that works for me, not something I'm gonna write a book about or anything--and actually having nothing at all come after this life and having death merely end "the thousand natural shocks which flesh is air to" works just fine for me, too. God knows Lupe's flesh had its share of shocks.
And it's not like Lupe and I were even keeping close enough contact for this to hit me in a major way--and who even gives a shit how it hits me, anyway? But we talked on the phone from time to time, and we saw each other almost every year. If I were to have eulogized the man, I would have reflected on how, anytime we got on the phone and starting talking about anything--English Dept. politics, dumbass students, pop culture--anything...we laughed together as much or more as when I talk with anyone else on the planet.
I do miss that lad.

A lot of my friends are traveling to SE Asia this summer and have been asking me for tips on where to go, stay, do, etc. Since I think I have now sent about 10 versions of the same e-mail out to people, I thought I would just post a brief guide to traveling to some parts of SE Asia where I have visited over the last few months. If any of you need more details, please feel free to contact me directly or check out previous blog posts..
I had an awesome guide in Cambodia named Dara. I was in Siem Reap for 5 days (3 of which by myself) and Dara was amazing. He set my itinerary for me and had a driver to take us everywhere.
Dara's e-mail is email@example.com
He can set an itinerary for you. He took us around in a tuk-tuk (the driver was his buddy Lim Ngee who is also pretty cool). Dara speaks perfect English and is an official Siem Reap tour guide, so he knows his stuff. He costs $20 per day, and the driver's per day cost depends on how far the trip is. For example, going to Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom will cost $15 per day for a tuk-tuk driver, but going to the floating forest will be more ($20-30) depending on if you get a car or a tuk-tuk. I would definitely go to Floating forest, Beng Melea, Batay Sarai, Ankgor Wat, Angkor Thom. The first three places are a bit out of the way and might take a separate trip but are definitely worth it. You should also eat at the Blue Pumpkin cafe in Siem Reap (lunch- great sandwiches and desserts) and Khmer Kitchen for dinner. For places to stay, there are tons of nice hotels, depending on your budget. I found a good deals online for 4-5 star hotels, so I would look into that. Some suggestions are FCC, Angkor Village Resort and Day Inn Angkor Resort. We spent a couple of days in a guesthouse called the Shadow of Angkor, which was significantly cheaper, but the location was great. USD cash is used EVERYWHERE here so bring lots of 20's and 1's, but there are ATMs now in Siem Reap in case you don't have enough cash on you.
I stayed in Luang Prabang for about 5 days and loved everything about it. I stayed at Le Calao hotel which was right on the water and was nice, but if I had a choice, I would have preferred to stay at the 3 Nagas which is the nicest of all of the hotels in Luang Prabang and definitely worth it - try to reserve one of the two upstairs suites - they are adorable and really nice. I had friends who stayed at the 3 Nagas and they loved it - but reserve early as there are not so many hotels in Luang Prabang (more backpacker guesthouses) so the hotels get filled up. In Luang Prabang, definitely wake up at sunrise and go to the main road to watch the villagers come out to feed the hundreds of monks that live in the village. It is a beautiful and spiritual experience. Going to the waterfall is also a nice half day trip. I didn't particularly enjoy the long-boat trip to the caves, but other friends have liked the stop (if you do the Mekong River cruise to Luang Prabang then you will stop there anyways). I flew to Luang Prabang from Chiang Mai on Lao Airlines. Buying tickets on Lao Air is pretty sketchy. I would not recommend buying through a third party like Zuji.com, but would instead contact Lao Air directly. This will require you to wait a day or two for confirmation and be prepared to have to pay cash at a Lao Airline office in your point of departure. Flights are few and far between (usually 3 times a week) and the planes are propellor planes that cannot take off at night or in rain, so if you're traveling in the monsoon (as many of you will be), just be prepared. The other alternative is the Mekong River Cruise. I've heard good and bad things from friends who have done it, but it seems to be a fun trip if you are willing to pay a bit more for luxury. P.S. Currency of choice is USD Cash here, so make sure you have plenty on hand. And bring passport size pictures for the visa on-demand or you'll be forced to pay about 20 bucks at the airport!
In Vietnam, we went to Hanoi and Halong Bay. In Hanoi, we stayed at the Church Hotel in the old town which was AWESOME. It is not very expensive ($40 a night) and is very clean, new and in a great central location to the old town. You can look it up online and call ahead to make a reservation. I would recommend doing the Lonely Planet's suggested walking tour of Hanoi's old town, because we got to see some cool buildings and neighborhoods. We also did the Halong Bay overnight boat trip. WARNING: Beware of being cheated by the travel cafe's offering pretty and luxurious boat cruises on Halong Bay. Apparently, they all show tourists the same pictures to bait everyone into paying upfront, only to be herded onto crappy boats once you finally arrive at the dock after the 4-hr drive from Hanoi. That being said, I'll just stress how important it is for you guys to do whatever it takes to go on the Kangaroo Cafe boat tour rather than taking your chances with the random boat vendors and travel cafe's. I didnt use Kangaroo and our trip was a nightmare until we argued with the trip coordinator and got switched off our boat (which was packed with tourists) and onto another boat. I've also heard good things from some of the Aussie-owned adventure tour cruises which seem to be a bit more reliable as well.
I made several trip to different parts of Thailand and loved everywhere I went. In Bangkok, definitely walk around all the temples and the palace grounds which should take you about half a day. Try to make your trip on a weekend so you can go spend a few hours shopping at the Chatachuk Weekend Market - it's an amazing experience and be prepared to get a lot of stuff for little money. For nightlife, I'd recommend Bed Supperclub and Q bar, although a friend told me recently that Q bar has become a bit more of pick-up scene for Thai girls. For traveling in Thailand, I would look into Thai Air Asia which is a super cheap discount airline. However, before you fly, make sure you call or go online to confirm your flight because they are notorious for cancelling flights which could really screw you up if you have connecting flights elsewhere. Tiger Airways is also pretty reliable and cheap, but flights book up early and get more expensive the closer the date of travel. Also look online for hotel/airfare deals. Zuji.com is a good asian travel website, but DO NOT USE them if you are traveling to Laos (See above).
In Chiang Mai, I found great hotel deals online, so just do some searching around and you should be able to pre-pay and reserve a decent 4-5 * hotel somewhere close to the night market. The night market is cool here and if you have time, take a day or so to go on a hill-tribe trek.
Instead of going to Phuket, I had gone to Koh Samui where we had stayed on Chaweng Beach. It is definitely worth staying on the southern part of Chaweng, because the beach is nicer there and it's not as crowded. It is also not very difficult to walk the main strip to get to all the restaurants and bars at night. Although you'll be tempted to just lay on the beach all day, I would highly recommend taking a day to go on the trip the Ang Thong National Marine Park. Blue Star Tours are Aussie-owned and run and are AMAZING. Just walk up the main strip in Chaweng and their office is located next to the Green Mango bar. They'll pick you up at your hotel in the morning and bring you back after the trip consisting of kayaking, swimming, hiking, and snorkeling. Good times.
Too much to write. Read the blog or let me know and I'll put you in touch with my friends there! But in a nutshell: Night Safari, Orchard Road, Attica, Boon Ton Quay for Banana Paratas, Chili Crab at East Coast, etc.
Ok, that should do it. I would highly recommend getting the Lonely Planet guidebooks for any locations you will be traveling to.
Happy travels!

You know that love/hate relationship that I've mentioned before, well...I'm definitely in the 'hate' stage with her. I know I'm SO close to being done but all I see right now are beads, beads, beads! I just want her DONE! I know if I put her down, I'll never pick her back up again. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
By looking at the amount of time I have left this year, I don't think I'm going to meet my goals that I set out in January :o( Grrrr! It was so achievable too! Of course I didn't really figure that my life would be turned upside down for half of 2008 :oS I truly don't need more stash. What I 'really' need is a pair of extra hands. Do you think if I ask Santa, he'll find some for me? ;o)

Scotland pay for missed chances
Scotland 4 for 0 (Watts 0*, Sheikh 3*) trail Netherlands 255 (de Grooth 98, Blain 5-84) by 251 runs
Dropped catches cost Scotland on the opening day of their Intercontinental Cup match against Netherlands in Aberdeen as the visitors were allowed to post 255 in bowler-friendly conditions. John Blain collected five wickets, but Tom de Grooth was dropped three times in his career-best 98.
After being put in, Netherlands were handed a solid start by de Grooth and Alex Kervezee before Paul Hoffman made the breakthrough, having Kervezee taken at second slip. Hoffman, who was a surprise omission from Scotland's Twenty20 World Championship squad, was the most economical bowler as he showed the selectors what they will be missing.
de Grooth was caught behind off Blain two runs short of a maiden first-class century after striking 13 boundaries and receiving three lives. Blain continued to mop up the lower order, but Scotland will feel they missed a chance of put even more pressure on Netherlands.

Everything needs more sparkle, right? Christmas crafting just isn't fun at our house unless there's glitter involved, and we enjoyed our fair share last week.
We decorated the house after Thanksgiving, with a "tree in every room" goal and truly enjoyed ourselves. My oldest folded and glittered pages from a songbook to resemble trees as well as glittered clothespins with felt wings to make angels. My youngest glittered some glass balls to hang in the entryway.
We decided to use these Norfolk Pine plants in the entryway and living room. They are a tropical evergreen and will make a lovely houseplant year-round [if I can keep them alive through the holiday season].
For the living room, I made a "Fa La La" garland out of felt and these little singing ladies to hang on the tree. We love Christmas music and our Christmas decor will hopefully inspire our guests to keep singing all through the season.
Merry Christmas from all of us to all of you!

"Tamuuul! Tamuuul! Tamuuul akbaaaaaar!"
Calls to Tamul, great ancestor spirit of the desert people, greeted the dawn from the walls and structures of al-Khaydijah, rousing the people of the city from their beds. Akbar al-Aws swept through his home, rousing his sons and daughters. "Come! Awaken! Abdullah, get out of bed! Aaliyah, don't be lazy!" Paternal affection was readily visible through the pudgy desert man's gruff facade. Stepping into the chamber of his youngest son, Abdelfettah, Akbar clapped his hands loudly. "Come, Abdelfettah! It is your time to learn how to bargain like a man!" The man's face sank. "Abdelfettah?" He said, voice trembling. The boy was nowhere in sight. "Abdullah! Sherif! Where is your brother?! You must help me find your brother!"
Since the death of his wife, Shariyah, Akbar al-Aws has raised his six children mostly single-handedly. He has always treated them with kindness and charity, and has groomed his sons, Abdullah, Sharif, and Abdelfettah, to follow in his footsteps as merchants. Akbar's profession has made him very wealthy, and, though fathers raising their children alone are almost unheard of in the traditions of the desert, he has always been able to provide. Recently, he has announced his intention to re-marry. Abdelfettah, who was hit hard by his mother's death, has been very depressed since his father's announcement, even to the point of neglecting his studies in the Scholarly Temple. It appears, from the evidence that Akbar has scrounged up, and from things that were noticed by Akbar's other sons, that Abdelfettah, upset with his father and the plans for a new wife, has run away into the Kalih Desert, and is probably lost, if not worse. Akbar, as any parent, is nearly beside himself with worry. Abdelfettah has never had a very good sense of direction, and he is a poor fighter.
Akbar has contacted the heroes under the pretense of hiring them to protect his trading caravan, because he does not want the true story spread around. He appreciates his son's dignity. When the heroes arrive in Akbar's house, the merchant tells them the true story, and offers them payment of 200 gold pieces, 3 cases of pepper, worth a fortune in more northerly locales, and 3 cases of silk, also worth a fortune in more northerly locales, in return for finding his poor lost son, Abdelfettah, or at the very least, bringing back his body.
Abdelfettah, having become miserably lost in the desert and become separated from his camel, has been captured by Bedune tribal raiders in a cave about ten miles north of the city. The heroes may follow Abdelfettah's camel's tracks for about three miles, but after that distance, an overnight sandstorm moving east has obliterated the tracks for four miles. If a ranger is with the party, the ranger may find certain signs by which they can track the trail, but they will soon find that they are now following the trail of Abdelfettah's lost camel, who has travelled about two miles west to a little known oasis. If they are to find the trail of Abdelfettah himself after following the camel, it will take the ranger about 3 hours to once again find Abdelfettah's tracks, and, soon after that, the signs of a struggle and the tracks of the Bedune raiders.
The Bedune raiding party's cave has three large chambers. The first chamber contains the tribe's plunder from last night, including Abdelfettah's desert supplies. The second chamber is where the raiders are sleeping. 3 of the Bedunes are still awake and are playing knucklebones in a corner, and one of their wives is cooking a small dish of lamb over the fire. The third cave is the personal den of the tribe's leader, Azad al-Batif, where he is keeping Abdelfettah in a cage. He periodically strikes Abdelfettah with a large cane to try and make him divulge the location of his father's secret trade route, which the al-Aws family has been using for years without being discovered. His wife is sleeping in a small offset bed-chamber with their children. Azad al-Batif is unarmored (He has been sleeping and is only wearing a loincloth), but within his reach is the cane with which he beats Abdelfettah and an enchanted scimitar that has a flaming blade.

Take your child to the library day is a grassroots advocacy program started in 2011 by Nadine Lipman, a children's librarian in Waterford, Connecticut. This program does exactly what it says in it's name – provides a rallying point for encouraging local communities to bring their children to the library. This program has grown dramatically over the last 5 years and now includes over 470 libraries across the USA, Canada and one enthusiastic library in Germany.
This program is doing an excellent job connecting the local community with their libraries and just last week it was announced that it had won the Connecticut Library Association's Faith Hektoen Outstanding Program Award for 2014. Want to know more? You can check out their blog and their Pinterest for ideas and photos or visit the Connecticut Library Consortium website for all the official resources.

My weekend was awesome!! On Friday I cleaned my room and now its "spotless". Spotless meaning clothes and pillows everywhere. I also went to the Olive Garden to celebrate my sister graduating from ISU. On Saturday I had a sleepover with two of my friends. It was awesome. We watched a lot of Netflix. We were messing around and I fell off the couch and shattered my phone. It was bad. Then after that we made ourselves food (in the microwave) and then we watched cyber bully and went to bed. On Sunday we woke up and went to Kohl's to get my moms mothers day present. I got her a Fit-bit charge. After we gave it to my mom and ate breakfast we went outside and played with sidewalk chalk with my neighbor. Then I went with my friend to her house and we went out to eat with her mom, then after that we went home and discovered that there was a new park next to my house. But unfortunately it started pouring when we got there. So we sat on the front porch and watched the "storm". After it was sunny again we went back to the park and made new friends. I was trying to skip the stairs and just jump and my landing spot was wet and I fell it hurt. We played wood-chips. We also discovered really cool equipment. Then we read on my front porch until we had to go in and get ready for bed. I hope your weekend was as amazing as mine!!
My Weekend.(:
We got drawn to do a presentation on a invertabrate, I got drawn to do a sponge. This is our presentation for sponges..
My Weekend (:
Im going to tell you about my weekend. On friday I went to the races at the fairgrounds. I also went up on top of the toter and sat in a puddle.. it was cold! After the races Friday I went home with my friend Carly. On saturday I went to Carlys school for showtime. Showtime is where there school perfromes all thier dances from this year, but they also invite kids to add in to the profromance and they put them in the schudele. Also I got to dance in a extra dance because Carly didnt have a partner so she asked me to be here partner. The show was only an hour long and there were 10 dances. On sunday I went to my baby cousins birthday at Pizza Ranch in Winterset. Then I went home and played volleyball with my neighbors. I hope your weekend was as eventful as mine..
Our Field Trips.(:
Our first field trip was the Capitol. The Capitol was very beautiful. Did you know that there was a fire in the capitol? In 1904 there was a fire in the Capitol, it was started by a candle being left lite and falling over. The guy that was gonna fix it was looking for damage in the attic above the room and he fell and died. That is my favorite fact about our capitol. My favorite room in the capitol is probably the library. The library has 5 stories, and all off them are FILLED with LAW books. THAT'S A LOT OF LAW BOOKS!! Any ways I think the library is cool because it has a dumbwaiter, those are hard to find now a days. Also in my opinion the library is the most beautiful place in the capitol. Another part I like about the capitol is the dome. The dome is cool and if you look up there's a banner with the flag on it. Also the flag is hanging on wires but if you standing on the 2nd floor you cant tell, but if your in the dome its easy to see. Behind the banner there's a painting of the sky and clouds and it looks like its really outside. Another really cool part about the capitol is the case with the dolls of the first lady's. I think that was a cool creation. It would also probably be hard and a lot of time taken to make all those dolls look exactly like they did at the ball. Even though I went on a field trip to the capitol last year, I think I enjoyed it more this year. The capitol is a very cool place. Below will be pictures of some of the things I mentioned.
Our next field trip was to the Art Museum and the Sculpture Park. We saw a lot of different things at both places. We also did projects on some the artist of the paintings and sculptures, and they looked totally different in person. I think that if we wouldn't have done the project before going I think we would have got less out of the trip. Also we wouldn't be able to compare what the painting or sculpture looked like on the internet compared to how much cooler it looked in person. My favorite sculpture was "The White Ghost" because it was really cool. I think the mood of it was interesting. It looked lonely and sad. I also liked the "The Spider". Also learning about all these pieces were fun. It was interesting to learn where they got there inspiration. Like learning about the sculpture of the table and chairs and how it was sitting in their yard before it was at the sculpture park. Now the Art Museum. My favorite was "From the Lake No.1" . Not because it was Georgia's piece but because it looked way better in person then it did on the internet. When you see it in person you can see all the different value. Also in person you can tell that she started with sketching the different shapes of the sky and waves, like its not totally noticeable but if you get really close you can tell. I love the way her piece looks in person it looks very unique and creative, also in person you can tell how she got the inspiration and if you were there the inspiration would probably look identical to the painting. Another one I likes was called "Untitled" by Anselm Kiefer. It was inspired by the war. There are lots of details to it. If you look really close to it you can see railroad tracks in it. But if your not focused enough on it you wont be able to tell. It also has wires in it and a ladder. That painting was probably my second favorite. I will have pictures below of some of the things I talked about.
If you ever are bored or looking for a place to go, these 3 places that I mentioned are very fun to be at. I highly suggest one day in the summer or a day your bored you should go to one of these places. I hope you enjoyed my blog post!
Georgia O'Keeffe - Artist
For our writing unit we got to choose a artist that has a piece or pieces of art at the Des Moines Art Center. I chose Georgia O'Keeffe. We are doing this unit because next Wednesday we have a field trip to the Art Center. My video below tells/shows you her piece at the Art Center that is on display and a lot about her paintings and her life.
What I did this weekend.
On Friday I went to the races. We went to Marshelltown. On Saturday I went to Fun Night with one of my friends. We met up with our other friends also, It was fun. We went outside and played kickball with an imaginary ball. It was awesome. On Sunday I packed up my room to move. I hope your weekend was as fun as mine.
My Weekend. (:
This weekend I did a lot of things. On Friday I got home and I had to grab warm clothes, then my dad and I went racing in Marshelltown. IT WAS COLD!! My dad won his heat and got 11th in the feature. Then on Saturday I went racing again in Boone. My dad does things for charities he supports. So before the races on Saturday we went to the Boone park and played basketball in wheelchairs. It was hard and tiring. After the races we had a grill out at the track. I also had a sleepover with my friend. We stayed up until 5:00 am. Then on Sunday I had a family Easter. We went to my grandmas down in my hometown and we hung out with old friends. We had an candy hunt in my grandma and grandpas backyard. Then we played volleyball my little cousins and I raced on our 4-wheeler and dirt bikes. It was fun! I had an eventful weekend. I hope your weekend was as fun as mine.!
The Boston Massacre.
In social studies we have been learning about all the things that lead up to the war. I choose the Boston Massacre. In my video I'm telling you about everything that happened. I am telling you as if I lived in these times. In my Google Slides I am Captain Thomas Preston. To be able to read the slides I suggest clicking the space bar to go to the next slide. I hope you enjoy my video!!
My Weekly Vocabulary Video!(:
Our weekly vocabulary words are Impractical, consume, promote, disposable, and rubbish. I hope you enjoy my video. Below...
My Spring Break!
On Thursday I had a doctors appointment and then I left to go to Hayes Kansas for the races. The races were all weekend long. In Hayes we went shopping uptown and they had a lot of thrift stores. It was really fun. On Monday my friend from my old school and I taught ourselves how to rib-stick and kinda failed. On Tuesday I went down to my hometown to see all my old friends and my grandma. I rode my four-wheeler and helped my grandpa farm. I also rode my horse and went to go buy another horse. We named her Abbey. On Thursday my friend Mallory came over and we rode my horse. We also went to Pizza Ranch. After that we went to Walmart and made shirts. On Friday I came home and celebrated my mom and dads 17 year anniversary (even though it was Sunday). On Saturday I went to my friends and we had a sleepover and made up our own words and meanings. On Sunday night I stayed at my friends again and we tried to make clay and failed at it, So we put it on our faces. It felt like face plasterer, It also hurt to get off. I hope your Spring Break was a fun as mine.
