Have A Sun Safe Easter
If you are planning a trip to the beach or local pool why not buy some new Rashoodz the only swimwear with an attached hat! Then relax, knowing that you are doing your best to protect them from the harsh UV rays that are still around this time of year. Don't forget to slip slop slap even when its overcast!
Have A Healthy Easter
Have you noticed how much chocolate your kids get these days? Maybe this year its time to put the breaks on the sugar rush and celebrate Easter with a new trend happening in Australia. Some families are now giving pyjamas or swimwear to each other for Easter instead of chocolate. This is also an easier alternative to having to post chocolate eggs in the mail. If you want to order a Rashoodz for a child for Easter we can have it sent within two days. We can save you the hassle of having to wrap up funny shaped eggs and hoping they wont melt. We can also save you the hassle of having children bouncing off the walls from sugar highs!
Rashoodz is now also available at

The story I am about to tell you is real. However, I don't expect people to believe it. But I still wanted to write about it, because I wanted to get it out of my chest. Even now whenever I think about this incident, a cold shiver runs through my spine. I am not much of a writer but I will try to describe the events in the most simple and sequential manner possible. I hope I do justice to what I had witnessed.
This happened when I was 18 years old. I was working in a small factory in Calcutta. We manufactured aluminium plates. I was just a mere helper then. My family didn't have the money to send me to school. So I had to work for a living. My father was an honest rickshaw driver. However his earnings were very limited. We had to work every day to earn our food.
One day, when I was working in the factory, the manager of the place called me.
"Biswajit, come here." He said. Murari Babu was short man. He was plump and was bald in the front side of his head. He had a loud voice. I thought it was because he worked in a factory for so long and because of all the noise, he had lost his ability to talk in a low voice.
I came up to him and asked, "What is it?"
"Biswajit, Anjali Didi needs to go home urgently to attend to her mother. But I can't let her go alone. You accompany her to her house in the Sunderbans. Can you do that?" he asked.
Anjali Didi was an employee in our factory. She used to look after the stationary and the finance section. Her mother was old and she had been unwell for some time. Anjali Didi had three brothers; all of them were younger than me. They tried to look after her, but I guess, they needed her help now.
I was actually quite happy to hear this, as I would get a paid break from work. I nodded happily. Little did I know what awaited me in the Sunderbans. It was agreed that we would leave early the next morning from the Esplanade bus station. The next day I met Anjali Didi at the bus station as agreed and we got the tickets. The journey was a very bumpy one. The bus rattled all the way. The city-scape soon gave away to smaller houses and more trees. There were more farms on both sides accompanied by small houses made up of tiles and mud. Small ponds with each house were a common sight. There were young children playing football in the green patches of fields. The air was different here. It somehow smelt sweeter. We crossed a lot of narrow rivers, which I later learnt were creeks or tidal rivers. The Sunderbans are basically a vast delta on the Bay of Bengal formed by the confluence of the Ganges, Padma, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers. There are a lot of other small rivers too. The rivers would become dry during low tides and one can easily cross them bare feet. But during high tide people would require boats to cross them. After about five hours of bus journey we reached the last stop. From this place we had to walk. It was a narrow path with trees on both sides. And I heard so many birds. After that we came across a wide river. We crossed it on a boat. It was a small boat with a motor in the rear. The river waves here were very big and the boat rocked continuously. However once we were in the middle of the river, the waves had calmed down a bit. I realised it was high tide time. After that we reached the other side of the river. The jungle was denser here.
We had officially entered the Sunderbans jungles. In some places the trees were so dense that hardly any direct sunlight reached. It was diffused light. The climate here was cooler than the city. There was a chill in the air. As we walked on the road, we often came up with people who were going the other direction. Anjali Didi said that we had to reach her place before sunset, as these jungles were unsafe during the night. The roads were quite muddy. As we walked through the narrow road, I heard the sound of water to my left side. I thought it was a river. Anjali Didi later corrected me saying it was a small stream. Very soon we came in the visual range of a river. It was very wide and I could hardly see the other shore. But I could understand that it was not a very deep river, since mostly the water recedes during the low tide.
It was not long before we began to see mud huts. These huts were hardly ten feet tall. The main foundation of the huts was made by big bamboo pillars and a cage for the wall was built with small stick bamboo. These small bamboo sticks were thin and flexible and were cut from the big bamboo. These flexible sticks were pulled from one bamboo stick to other in a criss-cross manner until webs of these sticks were made. These sticks were sort of reinforcements between the main bamboo pillars. These bamboo pillars were made of two or three bamboos. Mud was filled in this cage of web of thin flexible sticks and the wall was built.
We kept walking and soon we left the little village. After about five minutes we came near to the shore of the creek and I saw another small mud hut. I could understand this was Anjali Didi's house. The hut was surrounded by a bamboo fence on all the four sides. To the right side of the hut there was another hut. I could see two cows being tied there by a young boy. He was hardly a year younger than me. And then he shut the door to the hut and locked it. In the middle of the clean courtyard there was a small shelter for all the hens. I could see clearly that this mud house was built in a natural clearing in the forest. The whole place was surrounded by trees.
As I entered the house I could see it looked a little bigger in the inside. I was surprised to see that there was a loft above. I enquired about it to one of the younger brothers and he said that it was not a loft but a place to sleep. He showed me a ladder which was kept at one side of the house. You climb up the ladder to the upper part. He told me that the brothers normally slept there. And tonight I was supposed to sleep there. I was not too thrilled about it as the place looked cramped above. I also noticed that there were four small windows, one on each side of the wall. The windows were very small and the shutters opened outwards.
We had reached towards late afternoon. Anjali Didi directly went to her mother. She was a frail woman in her 70s. After a little bit of enquiring, I understood that she had got some sort of viral fever and was dehydrated. She was then taken to the doctor's clinic which was around 5 miles away. Medicines and an injection were given along with saline drip. She had just come home with one of her sons and was now feeling a little better.
While Anjali Didi was enquiring about her mother, I sat quietly in the courtyard. An old man who was sitting near the courtyard saw me and was intrigued by me. He was constantly looking at me. He slowly came up to me and asked, "Are you new here?" Even though his body looked weak and thin, his voice was strong. He was wearing a ragged and a dirty dhoti and had a thin cotton towel locally called a gamcha wrapped around his head.
I nodded. "I have come with Anjali Didi." I told the old man, as I pointed towards Anjali Didi's house. He sat down beside me and started talking to me. He started asking me questions about Kolkata city and the life there. I thought maybe he had never gone to the city.
"Do you know why this is called the Sunderbans?" He asked me. He waved his hands in the air, which I guessed meant the whole area around us.
I shook my head indicating that I didn't know.
"It means beautiful forest." He said laughing. "There are so many Sundari (mangrove) trees also found in this area. It got the name from there."
I looked around. I could see a lot of trees. However it was difficult for me to identify them. But the local people knew all sorts of trees and their uses. We chatted for some time. Anjali Didi called from inside of the hut and told me she will cook something for us.
We had a small lunch. The coal oven was outside. We had rice, dal and fish. A sister of Anjali Didi came from the village to help her cook. As the light started to fade, every one quickly started to clean things up. And I was advised to stay indoors. By 7 pm, we were all inside the house. By around 8, Anjali Didi cooked dinner inside the house. She kept two windows open. By around nine, we climbed the upper loft. I understood quickly, that this was only meant for sleeping. I couldn't even sit upright on it as my head touched the ceiling. I had to crouch in to sleep. I saw there were three windows here also. They were very small. Normally it would be good for three people to sleep. But with me, we were now four. It was a little crowded, but we managed.
Anjali Didi's oldest brother, Soumak, was almost my age. As we were talking he said, "Whisper from now on."
"Why?" I asked seriously.
"It's getting late and this is the time for the tiger to come." He said.
"Tiger? And why would he come so late at this hour?"
Soumak laughed. "It's the Sunderbans. You do realise that there are tigers here."
"Tiger? Really? Do tigers come here? I thought they don't come near the places where people lived." I was completely taken aback. I knew Sunderbans had tigers but I had completely forgotten that we were in Sunderbans now and it was tiger territory. I was so happy at getting a holiday and getting out and seeing new places that I had completely missed out on this fact.
Soumak nodded. "There is this one tiger which comes here regularly. This is his path. He comes here at least once in fifteen or so days. We don't take chances. That's why we lock up the cows and the hens every night. However there are more than one tiger here. But this one is fairly common here." He continued, "You see, the tigers here are unique. They swim in the salt waters. Even though normal tigers hate water, the Sunderban tigers don't. They swim across the small tidal rivers and move from one place to the other. So we can't always predict when and where they will come."
That's why I saw Soumak and his brothers rounding up the hens and putting them in that little coop. And he had locked the cows before that.
"You see that's why the cows don't make any noise at night." Soumak said.
I suddenly felt a little tensed. All the tiredness due to the long journey had suddenly vanished. I was looking at him with wide eyes. He smiled at me.
"Don't worry." He said, "This is normal here. If you keep quiet and don't make a sound, he won't do anything. Just relax. He never enters the houses. In any case you can see that there is a fence around our house. It never enters the fenced area." With that he blew out the little lamp and we were covered in darkness.
I saw the fence. It looked so weak that I could just kick it down by one blow. How could the tiger not enter through that?
The window was slightly open and moonlight fell upon me through that narrow slit. I remembered that the next day was a full moon night or poornima. I lied down and closed my eyes. I was still thinking about the tiger. I did not realise when I dozed off. I was suddenly woken up by a sound. As I opened my eyes, I saw Soumak was looking keenly out of the window. His younger brother had also woken up. Soumak had not opened the window at all. He was looking through the slit. He turned his head towards me and without making a sound he indicated me to come towards the window. I got up slowly and crawled up to him in that small space. And he then pointed me to keep quiet and to look through that little narrow slit. As I looked out, I could see through my sleepy eyes the outline of the trees in the bright moonlight. I never knew that moonlight could be so bright. I suddenly heard a soft muffled sound. My eyes turned into that direction and I could see a big animal lying on his back and licking his front paw very lazily. I could see very clearly that it was a huge tiger. I felt a tingling up my spine as I saw it. I had seen tigers in the zoo but never out in the open. It was lying down at a distance from the hut. Even at this distance it seemed huge. It was near the edge of the front courtyard. I could feel my heart beating so loudly in my chest.
Soumak slowly closed the window slit. I managed to go back to my position. Soumak whispered to me, "Are you afraid?"
I nodded. I was. And I wasn't ashamed to admit it. Only a delicate thin wall of dried mud separated us from the tiger. I had never been more terrified. Soumak smiled at me.
"Don't be afraid. This is quite normal here. We have learnt to live along side with the tiger from long ago. So it's ok as long as you respect his boundaries. We dare not cross him or the white one. They don't come inside the courtyard."
"White one? Who is the white one?" I asked curiously.
"He is also a tiger. Tomorrow is Poornima. He only comes out on the full moon nights." Soumak whispered.
"Really?" I said as I scratched my head. "Why does he come only on full moon nights? What's so special about them?"
"They say he is the ghost of Sunderbans. He is completely white. Tomorrow is full moon. If you stay here tomorrow maybe you will be able to see him." Soumak said.
Soumak went to sleep almost immediately. But I couldn't sleep. I lied there awake, waiting for morning to come. The realisation that I was far away from civilisation came to me now. I could hear the croaking of the frogs and the noise of the crickets. Occasionally I could hear an owl. Sometimes some of the birds made sounds in the trees. The jungle was alive I thought. Before coming I had imagined that this place would be very quiet. However to my amazement it was filled with sounds of different creatures of the night. I kept wondering about the tiger that was outside. What was it doing? Could it smell us here? Could it attack us? I don't know when I dozed off. That night I dreamt of weird things. In my dream I saw a white tiger come to me and he started talking to me. He then took me to a place in Sunderbans and then we rode a bus. Suddenly the tiger turned into Anjali Didi and she offered me some tea.
When I woke up in the morning, I could see through the window that Soumak and his brothers had already woken up and they were outside. They were picking up dry sticks and helping Anjali Didi with the household chores. I looked at the place where the tiger had sat yesterday night and I could see that there wasn't any tiger there anymore. I sighed in relief. Cautiously I came down from the sleeping area. I was greeted by Anjali Didi and Soumak. Anjali Didi asked me whether I wanted to stay back another day. She said she could come back to Kolkata with me if I stayed back another day. I readily agreed as it gave me the opportunity to not to go back to work. Also a strange sense of adventure had gripped me. I asked her about her mother's health. She said that she is a little better. Her fever had gone down. But she was weak. One more day would cure her completely.
After having breakfast, Soumak took me to the creek. It was only ten minutes' walk from his house. As I walked through the forest, Soumak stopped near one tree.
"See here? This is where the tiger you saw yesterday scrubbed his back along the tree bark."
"How do you know that?" I asked.
He pointed out on the ground. I could see that there were leaves fallen from the tree at one place. The rest of the area didn't have much leaves on the ground. And then he pointed out on the bark of the tree. It looked as if someone had scratched that part of the tree. "You see the tiger is like a cat. He has scratched his back on this tree and then walked from here to there, where he scratched the tree bark again." Soumak pointed out to another tree. I could see the tiger footprint clearly in the wet ground around the tree.
I looked at it. It was clear that they were claw marks on the tree also.
"This is their normal behaviour. Sometimes they mark territory with this and most of the times with their urine." Soumak said.
I was all excited. I looked around for some time and hoped that the tiger isn't nearby.
"Don't worry. This one doesn't come this way during day. Moreover today is Poornima. He won't dare come." Soumak said.
"Why? Is it because he is afraid of the white tiger?" I asked.
Soumak nodded. He didn't say more. As we reached the creek I saw men walking along the banks of the shore with a net in their hands. They were walking from one point to another point. And then they returned back to their starting point.
"They are fishing." Soumak told me. "They are fishing for a very small fish. They are absolutely tasty to eat." He told me the name of the fish but I forgot it. I later learnt that there main livelihood is in agriculture. Although they do a lot of other things as well. I saw many men going off for collecting honey. I later learnt that around 20,000 kg of honey is collected every year from forests of Sunderbans.
One man then got out of the water with a net filled with mud. He then went to a place where I saw there was small hole made in the ground. He then emptied the net into the hole. I could now see there were many small fishes in the muddy water. He then took a white thin stone and then slowly took the fishes and isolated them into another hole. This was a very novel and interesting way of fishing that I had seen. I stayed there for some time. After that I felt very sleepy. So I thought I should return to the house. I looked around for Soumak, but couldn't find him. He was obviously fishing with these people somewhere here. I decided not to wait for him and started to walk back to the house.
What I witnessed next still makes my heart race and my hair stand. It was the most bone-chilling experience I have ever had. It was as if time stood still. I heard a roar from my right. I immediately understood it was a tiger. It was somewhere in the vicinity. I heard men shouting and water splashing. I was so scared that I couldn't move. Suddenly I smelt something foul. It is very difficult to explain this smell. I saw a black and yellow striped, approximately 12 feet long tiger just casually jog past me and in his mouth it was carrying a man clutched by his throat. The rest of the body was just limping. I could see that the body didn't even touch the ground. There was blood coming out of the throat and the man was still alive. In his panic and horror he was calling out to God and to let him go. His wails were intermittent as blood was choking his voice. I was horrified. I froze like a statue. My legs felt heavy and I felt that it could not support my body anymore. I tried to lift my hand to take support of a nearby tree. My head had start feeling dizzy. I had no control over my body anymore. My heart was pounding in my chest. I thought it would explode any moment. I could not decide whether I should run or just stand in my place. Suddenly the tiger stopped and put the man down. It shook his head violently. I could see that his jaws and mouth were covered in blood. The man was in intense pain and was struggling in pain. The tiger looked towards me. For a moment, I thought that time had stood still. In the moments of intense fear, all my body functions seemed to have deserted me. I wanted to run, but I couldn't lift my leg. It was as if I was glued to the ground. And I felt that some heavy load was thrust on my body. The tiger gave a low growl. It slowly took a step towards me. Just then the poor man wailed. I could see he was trying to crawl away from the tiger. As soon as the tiger heard the wail, it again took the man by his neck. The poor man struggled with whatever strength he had. It was the most violent scene I had ever seen in my life. The poor soul suddenly turned limp. And the tiger casually jogged away carrying its kill, as I watch on helplessly.

Dualism Straps
I've been riding with these straps fitted since early February pretty much everyday and everywhere and I couldn't be happier with them. Hand made in Manchester by the very nice chap who is Richard Martins, and with probably some tea and biscuit based assistance from his other half Lei-Mai, they are a product of their love of riding fixed gear.
The straps themselves are a pretty simple but effective affair, with 2 heavy duty fabric straps running through the pedals and velcroing back onto themselves. Yes there are loads of other 'similar' offerings out there – Jol, Hold Fast, Wig, etc but none of them do what these do at this price! Not only are the well made with good materials, and they keep their shape really well making it super easier to get your feet in – no more reaching down to lift the straps up to get your feet in, but due to their '2 strap' design you can adjust each length separately to get a perfect fit.

2. Busy Philipps disputes Photoshop rumors
Busy Philipps has responded to complaints that her cover shoot for Health appears to have been digitally altered. Though Philipps speaks about how much she loves the moles on her body, they're barely visible on the cover — which she blames on the bright lighting, not some sort of body-shaming airbrushing. Read more>
If there's one thing you need to know about our July/Aug cover star @BusyPhilipps it's that she's nothing but completely candid on social media, posting about everything from anxiety to body image. "Before social media and the Internet really existed, it was a lot more difficult to get across who you really were," she says. "So for me, the advent of Twitter, then Instagram and Stories was incredibly freeing, because I felt like I had a direct line to expressing exactly who I feel I am and the things that I struggle with. . One thing Philipps refuses to hide from her followers is her panic attacks: "I grew up in a family where mental health issues are…we've got 'em," she continues. "I've had that since I was a kid—racing thoughts, unable to get control of my thoughts, spinning out into paralysis of not being able to do anything and crying hysterically about it, or just feeling totally helpless." . Of course, coping mechanisms help. "For me, getting the endorphins and the sweat every morning is part of what I think helps me keep it in check." Tap the link in bio for the full interview!

"I'm not a model," @gisele says. "Modeling is a job that I do, a career that I've had. It allowed me to see the world, and I was well paid for it. But it never defined me."

The American Flamingo breeds in the Galapagos Islands, coastal Colombia and Venezuela and nearby islands, the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, and in the northern Caribbean in the Bahamas, Hispaniola, Cuba and Turks and Caicos. Most sightings in southern Florida are usually considered to be escapees, although at least one bird banded as a chick in the Yucatán Peninsula has been sighted in Everglades National Park, and others may be genuine wanderers from Cuba.
Its preferred habitats are similar to that of its relatives: saline lagoons, mudflats, and shallow brackish coastal or inland lakes. Like all flamingos, it lays a single chalky white egg on a mud mound, between May and August; incubation until hatching takes from 28 to 32 days; both parents brood the young for a period of up to 6 years when they reach sexual maturity. Their life expectancy of 40 years is one of the longest in birds.
The American Flamingo is 120–140 cm in length; males weigh 2.8 kg and females 2.2 kg. Most of its plumage is pink, giving rise to its earlier name of Rosy Flamingo and differentiating adults from the much paler Greater Flamingo. The wing coverts are red, and the primary and secondary flight feathers are black. It is the only flamingo which naturally inhabits North America.
The bill is pink and white with a restricted black tip, and the legs are entirely pink. The call is a goose-like honking.
The American Flamingo is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.
Hi my friends,
I promised you yesterday some bird photos... here they are.... and there will be some more coming :) I hope you like them. I captured them by my recent visit to the Zoo in Melbourne, FL.
Thanks for all the comments yesterday to my new avatar :) don't take it too serious... I've decided not to look in the mirror anymore in the morning...*smile*... to keep my illusion to be still "young and beautiful"...LOL...
Have a wonderful day!

Hi I'm Holly
I'm a mom who loves to bake, swim, read good books, play my flute, and blog about my crazy adventures. And I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I am the Mom of five beautiful girls and one handsome-as-the-dickens son, who just happens to be severly autistic. I am also the wife of a very smart, very loving, but insanely busy husband. In my spare time (think 10 minute intervals here), I like to read good books, volunteer at the school, play my flute or attempt to play the piano, write in my blog, swim laps, do yoga, bake amazing desserts, catch up with my friends and family via texting and facebook, go to the temple, and watch chick flicks once the house is finally quiet. I once, long ago, received a degree in Instrumental Music Education, but for now I am one of the Moms in the audience, cheering for my girls as they create their own beautiful music. Having a son who is non-verbal and struggles in many, many ways, has changed me forever. I better understand unconditional love, and long-suffering patience, and everyday miracles, because they can be seen in the little things my sweet boy is able to accomplish each day. I am blessed, and very grateful to carry the title Mom.
Why I am a Mormon
I was raised as a member of the Mormon faith, and I am so grateful to my parents for teaching me the principles of the gospel of Christ. There did come a time when I was called to share this gospel with others, and I knew that I needed to know for sure that what I believed was true. I knew that I had a Heavenly Father who loved me very much, and that my Savior Jesus Christ had suffered for my sins. But, I struggled to know if the story of Joseph Smith was true. I spent many hours studying his words, and praying to know for myself if he truly did see God the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ. I remember having to share this message for the first time, still unsure if I believed it. But, as I read the words of Joseph Smith outloud, my heart swelled within me, and I KNEW I was speaking the truth. I know that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God. I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. I know that my Savior lives, and that it is because of his atoning sacrifice that I have the opportunity to live with my Heavenly Father again one day.
How I live my faith
Each month I have the opportunity to teach the women of my church about the gospel of Jesus Christ. The topic is different every time, but in the past few months, I have taught about Prophets, Repentance, The Gift of the Holy Ghost, and the Sacrament. I love to teach these women. It brings great joy into my life. And, it is very humbling. Many of them are older and more knowledgeable than me, but as they add their insight and comments throughout the lesson, I feel such a connection with them, and my love for them deepens. Once a month I also have the opportunity to visit with three specific women of my church, through a program called Visiting Teaching. Each month, I visit them in their home, and share a short message about the gospel, and catch up with them and what is going on in their lives and mine. It is a fabulous way to get to know other women, and some of my best friends have been a result of these monthly visits. I also LOVE to serve. Right now I am volunteering at the local elementary school, teaching art to a class of fourth graders. I was a bit daunted by this task at first, because I am not really an artist (music is my niche). But, I am learning quickly, and I love to watch these boys and girls as they create. There is such happiness and energy in the room as they create their own works of art. Since my oldest girls are in high school, in the marching band, I help out in that arena as well. To me, this is more fun than service, because I have the chance to use some of the skills I studied in college and put them to use in the "real world". From time to time, I will even bake them homemade cinnamon rolls and cupcakes, which of course, keeps them on my good side. :)

Today you should read: Romans 8:1-30
Have you ever felt condemned for something?
That overwhelming feeling of judgment and overbearing weight/heaviness that comes with our guilt and shame over certain acts of sin. I remember thinking about this word when hearing the news of a guy killing himself after being convicted over a large ponzi scheme. Or the interview of a drug addicted prostitute who has given her 4 children to her mom for custody after being arrested for the umpteenth time and feeling hopeless for the future. I think about my own senior year of high school when I ran so far away from the Lord after He shattered an idol in my life and my church started sharing the Gospel with me all over again as an unbeliever because of the lack of fruit and unrepentant sin in my life (as they rightly should've).
I'm again overwhelmed by the emotion and struggle of this word but in today's Jumpstart devotion we are reminded that we have absolutely NO condemnation in Christ (v. 1). Jesus took that guilt, that shame and those eternal consequences of sin upon Himself on the Cross (v. 3). What a great reminder of His grace, freedom and hope. Because those who live in that sin will set their mind and lives on that sin. But those who receive the Spirit because of Christ, will set their mind on the things of the Spirit and we are again reminded that condemnation is not from the Spirit or God.
Conviction is good because it's God's kindness that leads to repentance. Condemnation is not from God and leaves us feeling forever hopeless and guilty. That can never ever be the case in Christ. Because as the apostle Paul says a little later in verses 15-17, we are adopted into a forever family and a good Heavenly Father does not condemn His children but instead gives them His inheritance. We don't have to go back to that fear of condemnation like we lived before being a part of that family.
- Is there anything that Satan is deceiving you to believe that you are condemned for?
- Are you convicted for anything that you need to repent of?

I am participating in multiple Depth Challenges for the A&S 50 Challenge. One of the challenges was to attempted 50 medieval recipes. I have a decided on a method that will force my hand (a la "Julie & Julia"), starting after the SCA New Year I will prepare a medieval recipe every week. The plan is to have that recipe for Sunday dinner, which will thrill the children. I know there will be a couple weeks where it will not happen. If I am away for the whole weekend, it isn't happening. I am not going to put pressure on myself to do 50 recipes in a year, because I have 4 more years to complete the challenge; however, this will get me pushed toward productivity. It will also give me wide field to pick from for next years A&S cookery entry.
I am well pleased.


text: Buy Software & Apps 1Password 6: Top-Rated Password Manager for Macs This app makes using very strong passwords a simple process Share Pin Email Print Getty Images/iStock Unreleased/DKart Software & Apps Mac Only Browsers & Internet Video & Audio Backup & Utilities Social Networking News & Reference Antivirus & Security Email & Messaging Windows Only iOS Only Android Only View More by Tom Nelson Tom Nelson has written hundreds of articles, tutorials, and reviews for Other World Computing and About.com. He is the president of Coyote Moon, Inc. Updated October 27, 2017 1Password has long been one of the premier password managers for the Mac. Over time, AgileBits, the developer of 1Password, has expanded its password keeper to iOS, Windows, and Android devices. Now with 1Password 6, the app expands beyond devices and into teams of users, letting you share passwords with a group of users, just the thing for your new project team, or family members who need to access shared password-protected resources. Pro Strong password generator.Multiple password vaults.Shared password vaults.iCloud syncing.Watchtower monitors logins for security issues.Security audit can check your current passwords for weakness.Sync between multiple devices. Con Word-based password generator (Diceware) uses special characters only as word separators.Some sync options only work with iOS and Android devices. 1Password has been a solid password manager since its very early days. The convenience of having an app keep your passwords secure, and quickly provide them to you when needed, can't be overstated. Installation of 1Password 6 1Password downloads as an application ready to run; simply move the app to your Applications folder, and you're ready to go. Launching 1Password for the first time brings up the welcome screen, where you can choose to create your first password vault or sign into a shared team vault. More about team vaults a bit later. For now, as a first-time user, it's a good idea to create your own password vault. 1Password works with a single master password that is used to unlock your password vault, allowing you to access all of your saved passwords. This single master password is the key to the password kingdom. It should be something you'll remember, as well as something difficult for someone else to figure out; no simple references, such as a childhood pet or your favorite football team. If you need help, you can use 1Password's password generator to create a strong password for you. This password is an example of the built-in Diceware password generator that picks words from lists of words dependent on the throw of a six-sided die, or in this case, a random number generator restricted to the numbers 1 through 6. Diceware passwords of seven or more words are considered extremely strong and are easier to remember than random character-generated passwords. But be extremely careful in your master password choice; forgetting the password will keep all your saved passwords locked away, even from you. A four-word password is a safe choice, as it's easy enough to remember, but not likely to be guessed, or broken in any reasonable amount of time. Once you've created your master password, 1Password prompts you to set a lockout time, that is, how long before 1Password locks the stored password from access. This time should be long enough that you're not inconvenienced by always having to re-enter the master password, but short enough that if you step away from your Mac, 1Password will lock down your passwords so prying eyes can't see them. 1Password Mini The mini version of 1Password provides most of the features of 1Password and is always available from the menu bar. 1Password mini is very convenient. Give it a try; you can always disable it later if you choose. 1Password Browser Extension 1Password lets you have unique strong passwords for all of the web-based services you use. With the browser extension, 1Password can work from within your browser, saving site passwords as well as supplying account login information whenever it's needed, all at the click of a button in the browser's toolbar. No more having to open an app and look up an account login name and password; in fact, you don't even have to remember the login data as 1Password takes care of that for you. An added benefit of using the browser extension is that it can help prevent certain types of social engineering used to trick you into divulging information to fake websites that look legitimate. Because 1Password ties login data to the original web site you were visiting when you created your login credentials, fake websites won't pass muster and 1Password won't divulge the information. Syncing 1Password Data 1Password has always had some means of syncing password information between multiple 1Password clients. With the release of 1Password 6, syncing has become much simpler, with support for using iCloud to sync between Macs and iOS devices. You can also make use of Dropbox to sync information. But if you don't want to have your password data somewhere in the cloud, you can also sync locally on your own network. Wi-Fi 1Password Server Wi-Fi syncing is performed by having 1Password enable a special server that runs on your Mac and uses your Wi-Fi connection to sync data with iOS or Android devices on the local network. Unfortunately, Wi-Fi syncing only works between your Mac and a supported mobile device. You can't use Wi-Fi syncing to allow all your Macs to sync together. Watchtower While you're busy keeping your login data safe within 1Password, Watchtower monitors the websites you log into for security vulnerabilities. When Watchtower finds a site that is vulnerable, it alerts you to the issues with the site. These alerts don't mean your logins have been compromised, only that the site has security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by someone. At a minimum, you may want to change the passwords often for sites so noted, or find an alternative service. Security Audits 1Password's security audit will go through your stored account information and look for weak passwords, duplicates, and old passwords that have never been changed. It's a good idea to run the security checks at regular intervals to keep your passwords secure. 1Password Teams Teams provide a web-based administration system to share vaults between team members and authorized devices. AgileBits currently offers Teams as a monthly subscription service. Final Thoughts 1Password has been the leader in Mac and iOS password management for some time. With the release of 1Password 6, AgileBits has provided new features and capabilities that make managing passwords even easier. While keeping the core features that attracted many devoted followers to this app, AgileBits managed to expand its capabilities in directions that serve to highlight the company's commitment to security, and still provide an easy-to-use password management system that actually looks out for you. Bottom line -- if you don't use a password manager, you should, and the first one you should try, without question, is 1Password. Visit the 1Password 6 website for pricing and subscription information. Continue Reading

I was once part of a faculty committee charged with rewriting the mission statement of our high school. Except for changing one preposition, I contributed little to the project. Where the original document stated that one of our school's main goals was to "convey faith in Jesus," I was able to convince the committee to change that statement to read "convey the faith of Jesus."
I never tire of reminding my students and readers of one of spiritual writer Fr. Ed Hays' most life-changing insights: "The original followers of Jesus imitated him long before they worshiped him." This itinerant Galilean carpenter's first disciples didn't drastically change their lifestyles and follow him town to town, synagogue to synagogue, because they believed he was God, but because they saw the value in imitating the way he thought and lived. He showed them how to change their world. And he did this not by creating a new religion, but by showing them how to integrate his unique insights into the faith they already professed. Eventually they made his faith their faith.

Texas Woman With 'F**k Trump' Truck Sticker Arrested
The owner of the truck with a "F__k Trump" sticker has been arrested, according to her husband. Mike Fonseca said his wife, Karen, was picked up Thursday afternoon for an outstanding warrant from August.
Records show Karen Fonseca is accused of fraud. The Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office said they made the arrest after getting a tip about the warrant.
Fonseca made headlines Wednesday after Nehls threatened to arrest her for the anti-Trump sticker on her pickup..
The sticker says "F__k Trump and f__k you for voting for him."
Nehls posted a photo of the truck on Facebook Wednesday: "I have received numerous calls regarding the offensive display on this truck as it is often seen along FM 359. If you know who owns this truck or it is yours, I would like to discuss it with you," the post read. "Our Prosecutor has informed us she would accept Disorderly Conduct charges regarding it, but I feel we could come to an agreement regarding a modification to it."
After the story went viral and thousands of commenters defended the sticker as free speech, Nehls deleted the post.
"The objective of the post was to find the owner/driver of the truck and have a conversation with them in order to prevent a potential altercation between the truck driver and those offended by the message. Since the owner of the truck has been identified, the Sheriff took down the post," a Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office spokesperson said Thursday.
"It's hard to believe that a simple sticker could cause so much arousal," Fonseca said Thursday before her arrest. "I have no regrets."
She and her husband have had the sticker for nearly a year.
Ironically, one of Fonseca's tattoos reads, "My story isn't over yet."
That's an understatement.

TASTE! A Brewfest Event is St. Gabriel Elementary's largest fundraiser of the year. Past proceeds have provided tuition assistance and educational resources such as Smart boards for classrooms, playground maintenance, school office communication equipment, new desks, cafeteria tables, computers, student field trips and more! Formerly known just as Brewfest, TASTE! A Brewfest Event was been re-imagined as a fresh new and enjoyable evening that was highly successful.
Join us for this perfect night to catch up with friends and shop the hundreds of silent and live auction items at St. Margaret Mary's Wines Around The World–A Night on the Town. The date for the next Wines Around the World is Saturday, February 16, 2019. Visit Wines Around the World to become a sponsor or purchase tickets.
St. Mary Elementary School hosts a special evening each year to raise funds for the school. This year's annual Winter Escape fundraiser will take place on Friday, January 25, 2018!
Meet Me in the Middle is an important event, both as a way to raise money for special projects in the school, and as a way for St. Mary Catholic Middle School parents to gather in a casual atmosphere and get to know one another and the school's faculty and staff.
Each spring, St. Mary Catholic Schools hosts Zephyrfest, a spectacular evening of fine food, music and a dazzling array of silent and oral auction offerings, Zephyrfest helps to defray the operational costs of the entire school system. This highly successful event requires the participation of more than one hundred dedicated volunteers. Zephyrfest 2018 will be held on April 13, 2019 at the new expo center in Appleton!
In November of each year, the SMCS community gathers for our one-and-only system wide fundraiser.

In addition, all new inductees to the SMC Athletic Hall of Fame are honored on this special evening. With a lower admission fee, plenty of fun games and yummy food, Z-Night is a casual and festive event for all adults to enjoy, with all proceeds going toward facilities maintenance, purchasing curriculum materials and supporting our SMCS students. Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend this evening of fun, faith and friends!

Supporting Programme 2018
IBS Schreiber - LIVE Hacking SAP HANA - What attack scenarios are there?
The really sensitive company data is located in SAP systems. These are secured by the security mechanisms of SAP NetWeaver and the authorization concept. So how to get to the data as a hacker? Especially for attacks from outside, the operating system and database level has always offered itself. SAP HANA is therefore also the focus of hackers. In order to avert such attacks, the methods for hacking the SAP HANA database must be addressed in order to take appropriate safeguards and countermeasures. How UNIX and database systems can be hacked is not insider knowledge of some nerds - the knowledge is freely available on the Internet. Tool collections such as Kali-Linux, BlackArch or PentestBox can be downloaded for free. SAP HANA specifics can now also be found extensively on the Internet. You just have to know where to look...
Incl. live demo and concrete measures for protection.

Georgia residents who are aware of President Obama's recent executive actions may be interested in statements he made during a recent town hall immigration forum. He told attendees that there will be consequences for federal agents who do not follow the new immigration policies. In November, Obama launched two programs aimed at providing work permits for up to five million immigrants who are living in the United States illegally and to halt deportations.
Obama prepared to defend new immigration policies
Immigrants face delays in court hearings
Georgia residents are likely aware that immigration has been a top political issue in the past several years. The issue may spend even more time in the spotlight as thousands of cases have been delayed until 2019. Delaying immigration hearings could result in many people being deported due to issues with dated evidence. Other issues could arise for children who become adults before their parents can become citizens.
What are the different ways to obtain asylum?
The affirmative and the defensive process are the two ways to obtain asylum in the United States. One of the main differences is that the affirmative process is initiated by the defendant while the defensive process begins once an individual is in danger of deportation. Specifically, the individual is in removal proceedings after being stopped at a port or border or apprehended in the United States.
What is Temporary Protected Status and am I eligible?
Georgia residents might be interested in learning about what Temporary Protect Status is. In situations where a country has experienced a natural disaster or there is a civil war, the Secretary of Homeland Security may decide to designate that country for Temporary Protected Status.
Domestic violence may now be grounds for asylum
Georgia residents interested in immigration issues may be interested in the story of one woman who has succeeded in an appeal to the government regarding asylum in the U.S. This appeal may have established a new protected class under U.S. asylum policy.

Join Paul Trani for an in-depth discussion in this video Publishing a web site, part of Creating a First Web Site with Flash Professional CS5.
Once the site is optimized, we can head in the final step, which is actually…pretty exciting, and that's publishing our site.…So I have this index.fla open, and I am going to File, down to Publish Settings…and notice that it's going to publish out and an SWF file and HTML file.…Well, quite frankly, I don't want to publish out an HTML file, and I am going…to have a different file to do that, but what I am going to focus on is this SWF file.…So with that checked I can click on this Flash tab, and just kind of review the…settings just know that this does require Flash Player 10, and that's is the…version the user needs to see your content, but a good 95+% people have the…Flash Player, so that's hardly an issue.…
All my optimization is done.…In fact, the only thing I don't need is this Generate size report.…So I can uncheck that and be good to go.…And of course, we want to make sure that we're compressing the movie, but this…is set by default as well.…So I am going to go ahead and click Publish, and that creates the SWF file.…

Q: I followed all the steps and suggestions in the "Adding a progress bar" video, but when I add the progress bar to my web site, I can't remove it once the index.swf file loads up. The progress bar remains on the homepage and the rest of the pages. How do I make it disappear once the site loads?
A: To make it disappear, just make sure the progress bar is only in frame 1. If it's on its own layer, then right-click on the 2nd frame in that same layer and select "Insert Blank Keyframe." That will make it disappear.
Q: Despite following the steps in the "Adding a progress bar" video, I cannot figure out how to keep the progress bar from appearing on a movie that has finished loading. How can I make the progress bar disappear?
A: Just add the red line below to the preloader.fla file. This will make the progress bar invisible:

The TCW & 90SU Branch offers members the opportunity to maintain the esprit de corps and comradeship they experienced whilst serving as members of TCW and/or 90SU. The shared interest in the provision of Communication Information Systems (CIS) Equipment and the deployment of capabilities in support of the Royal Air Force both in the UK and on Operations is the foundation on which this special bond is built. The need to have a means by which this unique group of people can remain in contact and develop new friendships, whilst also helping those in need, led to the creation of the TCW & 90SU Branch of the Royal Air Forces Association.
The Branch is unique in that it is not location based but formed around those with a common interest and unique association, defined as a virtual/vertical Branch. This means that our membership is spread throughout the World with members getting together to attend reunions, social events and to support the TCW & 90SU Memorial that is located at the site of the Armed Forces Memorial (National Memorial Arboretum) in Staffordshire.
Due the Branch being a virtual/vertical Branch it does not have regular Committee Meetings though an AGM is held annually.

It's Monday February 18, 2019

To most ears, it sounds made up, a fictional place. But The Whortonsville Yacht & Tractor Club did exist. It sprang to life in 1990 about 10 miles outside of Oriental and had a 20 year run. There are the t-shirts to prove that. Membership cards and burgees, too.The WYTC burgee has made its rounds, day and night, along the eastern seaboard and to the Caribbean.And now, there is the book, The Whortonsville Yacht & Tractor Club.
The author, Nick Santoro, knows the subject well. Nick and his wife Jeannette was the driving force behind the WYTC. It based at Ensign Harbor Marina on Brown's Creek in the backyard of their home in Whortonsville. They'd founded it a few years after moving to Whortonsville from New Jersey.
The back cover of the book calls it "an account of one man's attempt to escape the harried, impersonal life of a New York commuter in hopes of finding a more fulfilling life-style in a tiny North Carolina coastal village."
That man "survives a subway fire under the Hudson River on his way to a job he did not like, to realize that there must be a better way for him to spend the rest of his life. With no clear idea of what that better way might be, he decides to invent one."Nick Santoro of the Whortonsville Yacht and Tractor Club.To those who know, Nick Santoro, this may sound familiar. Nick did survive a fire on a train while commuting to work one day in the 1980s – he was compensated for his ruined clothing. And that did set up his move to NC, all of which make up the core of his book. But he says it's a 'work of fiction'.
It's in keeping with the spirit of the WYTC and its ficticious-sounding name… that the book isn't quite non-fiction.
"The book is semi-historical fact, but the way I have written it," Nick says, "it has to be called fiction." For instance, the main character is not named Nick, but Walter Smithwick. Other characters from Whortonsville and Oriental and the county go by other names in the book as well. But they all are readily identifiable, particularly for the reader who spent time in Whortonsville a few decades ago.The book: Whortonsville Yacht and Tractor Club. The TownDock copy is now looking well read. You can get your own copy – click here."There were several things behind the book." Nick Santoro says. "First, it is sort of a retrospective on Whortonsville back when I first moved here. Whortonsville was such a magical place then. In some small way, there was an intent to capture and preserve those days. This was a welcome change of culture for me. I wanted to preserve that time."
So how did Nick Santoro, New Jersey commuter in to Manhattan, wind up in Pamlico County in the 1980's? "I grew up in a tiny little Jersey town where everybody commuted in to New York in the morning and then at home at night. I saw that was happening to me."
"Jeannette and I have known each other since grammar school. We got married, we worked across the street from one another in New York. Our pre-nup was that we were going to quit our jobs and get out of that life style."
They went across the country, "We ended up in Oakland," Nick says. "San Francisco was too expensive."
Nick went to work for a Bay Area ad agency. Then, around that same time, Jeanette's father suffered a series of heart attacks and she was traveling back East often to see him. Nick says it became "too much, so we moved back and I was back in the trap."
Back in Manhattan, Nick says, he lost one job "because the word got out I was interested in another. I moved to another company, but then that company decided to move to Connecticut. I did not want to move to Connecticut."
"We started looking for a quiet place in the South." Being able to have a boat nearby and sail it often was a priority. He had in mind the idea of running a marina.Nick Santoro at his Ensign Harbor Marina. Tractors once had a quantitative edge, but now sailboats appear to be more common in Whortonsville, home of the Yacht and Tractor Club.
If things had panned out as he initially wanted, there may've been no Yacht and Tractor club, at least not in Whortonsville. Whortonsville was not his first choice. As Nick tells it, "we found Vandemere. I put in an offer for Vandemere Marina but they chose another bid."
"So we came to Whortonsville."

Written for: dVerse Poetics: From Nature's Point of View (posted by Mish)
Write a poem from the perspective of one of nature's gifts…a tree, a wildflower, a leaf in the wind or even through the eyes of a wise old owl.
Think beyond personification. Get into character and show us the world through your new "eyes of nature". You may want to describe the view from where you are, the scents, the sounds and textures. Or perhaps you have a message of enlightenment. There are many lessons to be learned from nature. You could give your element of nature an opinion and let it speak through your poetry. The choice is yours. Just remember to write from nature's point of view.
Wile away hours
in embrace of my arms
spread in splendor
to welcome you. Picnic
under my lush leaves.
Stay cool. Lean on me
for support. Catch me
'fore Autumn ends,
and my gold has turned
to rust. Icy nights
of Winter follow,
leaving me bare,
yet not bereft
of friends. Birds
sing to me. Squirrels
and chipmunks are
frequent guests.

Breakfast time has so much potential. I like to change things up often and us try new things. The same meal plan often gets boring, so it is always nice for us to mix things up a bit. Today we tried a new recipe. You guessed it, oatmeal pancake wrapped sausages with glazed honeycrisp apples. I am big on using what I have and not making an extra trip to the store to get whatever it is I may need. So, for this recipe I did not have the breakfast style sausage links, but did have sausage on hand. It turned out nice and tasty. However, I think the breakfast type sausage would be easier to take a bite of. This is more of a fork and butter knife kind of breakfast.
Oatmeal pancakes:
1 cup flour
1/4 cup quick oats
2 tsp baking powder
sprinkle of salt
1 1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon oil
Mix your flour, oats, powder and salt together. Add your milk, sugar and oil with a gentle stir until combined. A few lumps are alright. Spray your skillet with some cooking spray and use 1/6 cup scoops as your portion. Once it is nice and bubbly on top and cooked enough to flip, flip it over to brown the other side, then pull off the heat.
Cook your sausages and set aside. Roll your sausages in your oatmeal pancakes and serve with your glazed apples. Yum!
Glazed Honeycrisp apples:
Core, peel and chop 2 Honeycrisp apples
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup light brown sugar
Heat on stovetop at med-high heat until a thickened bubbly brown sauce forms. Serve on top or along side your oatmeal pancake wrapped sausages.
What did you have for breakfast? Have you tried anything new lately?

Father Days, 2007
I had the privilege this past weekend to spend a few days on the Croft, Spring Hill farm near Mount Morris, IL, for a family reunion on my wife's side of the family. There were so many enjoyable moments while we were there, but the highlight for me was the Farmall Tractors.
John Croft (my mother-in-law's cousin) has spent many hours repairing and caring for the Super M and Super H tractors that his father and grandfather used when he was a kid; he hopes to someday get the F-20 tractor (pictured above) moving under its own power too. He isn't restoring them to make them museum quality pieces that will stay in a barn, but he is making them useful around the farm.
As I helped John around the farm to get ready for the incoming family, he spent a lot of time telling me about his father and grandfather. Everything around the farm held a memory of them. It was a vivid picture of the 5th Commandment in action. He never spoke in a derogatory manner about them. Any of the improvements he is making on the farm he described as "building on what granddad and father began."
I've been around so many people who talk about the mistakes their grandfathers and fathers have made. It was such a blessing to be in the presence of a man who may have seen those things but never used those things against them. He is spending his life honoring the sacrifice and memory of those men who made the farm what it was and he will someday pass it on to his son who will undoubtedly make further improvements, but I know they will be motivated by blessing and humility.
From Leviticus 19
You shall rise before the gray headed and honor the presence of an old man, and fear your God: I am the LORD.

And now we come to Friday. The middle day. I'm going to add a logistical tip here that I'll repeat in part three as well. I strongly advise not trying to drive home on Saturday evening. Yes, the conference is over by 5 or 5:30, and yes, it seems so reasonable if you only live 2 or 3 or 4 or even 5 hours away–but don't. Thursday is made longer by driving to arrive there; Friday is a full day due to the convention schedule; Saturday night, you are going to want to pet your new curricula purchases, discuss speakers, write down your thoughts, and generally process the experience. It's hard to do that when you're tired, and the quickest way to get even more tired is to drive home as soon as the convention ends. As a bonus, this will make Friday seem like a doable marathon ("Tomorrow is a shorter day!") rather than just the first part of an Ironman triathalon.
We made the decision on Thursday evening not to try to get to the convention center for the first session. Ugh. I wanted to be there, but not as much as I wanted to reduce our stress. Here is an occasion where the convention center being attached to the hotel would have made a huge difference, because we had to consider transportation time and logistics. Regardless, we skipped both the 8:30 am and 10 am sessions, in the end. My first session for the day was Michael Clay Thompson, "Teaching Advanced Academic Writing."
I'm going to be honest and say that I expected a better presentation based on others' comments online. He was a decent speaker but I've seen better many times, so I'm not sure where the reputation as a great, engaging speaker is building. That said, the content was still excellent. One of the big things I distilled from the presentation is that there is a skill in reading non-literature which many students don't have, and research papers are one vehicle for developing that skill. I'm going to throw out a few quotes:
"If we want formal writing to be the outcome, then informal writing cannot be the norm. Academic writing has to be, as it used to be, normal writing."
"Academic writing is about academic reading. It is not a pure writing exercise."
MCT is big on using real books, not websites. His basic plan is writing a series of short research papers each year, four papers at around 3 pages for each paper. He spoke about modern approaches to the research paper process (i.e., no need for bibliography cards and note cards, no need to turn in an outline). He also spoke at some length about the concept of a rough draft is counter-productive. Yes, a first draft is necessary, but the idea of "rough" means there's a lot left to fix later.
MCT is also a big fan of MLA over other formatting guides. Finally, he talked quite a bit about expository, narrative assessment rather than rubrics. Apropos of nothing, he also uses a Mac.
Meanwhile, my mother was next door listening to Dr. Christopher Perrin speak about the intellectual virtues. She said that there was excellent content (and I haven't had a chance to review her notes, though I'm looking forward to it), but he wasn't the best speaker. As I've said in the past, the best authors are not always the best speakers. This was apparently one of those times. After that, she went to see Julie Bogart speak on the natural stages of growth in writing, which she said she thoroughly enjoyed. Again, I haven't reviewed her notes, so I'm skimming over her sessions.
Then I went to see SWB talk about the well-prepared high school student. First of all, everyone should listen to SWB, because she is one of those good authors that is an excellent speaker. If you set the bar at SWB, very few speakers are going to impress you. I would know, since I... set the bar with SWB. She covered three areas of preparation: academic, practical, and emotional. I don't want to attempt to summarize her entire talk, because it's simply too full and rich. She spoke about basics, specialization, methods of instruction, tests, deadlines, writing, library skills, transcripts, keeping one's own schedule, managing money, laundry, maturity, gap years, and more, all with coherence and depth. Whew. I bought this one on CD, even though I was in the room, because there was so much to really meditate and think upon.
Then we took a food break before going to the Tim Hawkins show, which was just EG, my dad, and I, for various reasons. Uh. I've only ever watched two of Tim Hawkins' videos, mind you, so I was expecting stuff like "Chick-Fil-A" and "Homeschool Family." I was surprised at some of the humor, and thought some of it was homophobic. It was near the end of the show when he started singing about climate change and how his Suburban wasn't hurting anything. That song talked about Mr. Gore. Then he immediately followed it up with a song, well. "Who can tax xxx? The government can! Who can tax...?" you get the idea. I got up and walked out. Gah.
So there's another tip for better convention time management: don't buy tickets to things like Tim Hawkins. Even if you know you'll enjoy it (and obviously, I didn't thoroughly enjoy it), you need to decide why you're at the convention, on some level. It's entertainment stuck in the middle of what can be hard-core education and "professional development," and I'll be leaving entertainment off future convention schedules for me.
My dad and EG went to one of Ed Zaccaro's sessions, then, and the Spousal Unit went to a Jim Weiss session for fathers. I happily wandered around the vendor hall, spending more time at places like the Usborne books booth. They had a prehistoric search book in the bargain bin–score! See, you can find non-YEC science material there, you just have to look really hard, lol. After that, Spousal Unit ran EG back to the hotel while my dad attended another of Julie Bogart's sessions, and I went to Janice Campbell's session on teaching literature. Who, um, also uses a Mac.
She had some good suggestions for teaching literature and I was pleased that it wasn't just an ad for her curriculum. She is really big on including context materials, like art, music, other authors, major world events, and so forth, so in that sense, her curriculum is very handy because it's all organized. She suggested that audiobooks were an adequate substitute for reading the book. I somewhat disagree, but I do think I could probably use audiobooks more than we currently do. She had a great list of recommended reference books and some good suggestions on literary analysis. This was easily a session that a high school student or relatively serious middle school student could glean from.
And that was the second day. It may not sound horribly long, but trust me: it was long and exhausting. A lot of the exhausting part was knowing we'd be getting up to do it again the next day, I think.
