Iberia Líneas Aéreas de España, S.A. (Iberia Airlines of Spain in English), usually shortened to Iberia, is the largest airline of Spain, based in Madrid.
The years following World War I saw a large advancement in aircraft technology with concomitant increase in possibilities for rapid connections between international business concerns. Germany had many business concerns, particularly in Africa and South America, but was still reliant on ships and land routes to reach these. In order to circumvent the Treaty of Versailles stipulation that prohibited German aircraft access to flying over France, agents in Spain explored the possibility an air liaison between Germany and Spain. As such Deutsche Luft Hansa on behalf of German government, established a general agreement with the Spanish government which was signed on December 9, 1927 authorizing an air service between both countries.
Iberia, Compañía Aérea de Transportes was incorporated on June 28, 1927 with an initial capital investment by the financier Horacio Echeberrieta and Deutsche Luft Hansa of 1.1 million pesetas. The company obtained Government authorisation to establish commercial daily (except Sunday) connections between Madrid and Barcelona. A fleet of three Rohrbach Roland monoplanes were bought in from Deutsche Luft Hansa.
Flight operations started on December 14, 1927 with inaugural flights aimed to coincide at a commemorative show in Madrid. The opening ceremony at Carabanchel aerodrome was attended by Alfonso XIII and the president of Iberia, Horacio Echeberrieta. The maiden flight from Madrid left on schedule, taking off from Madrid at 12:30 and arriving in Barcelona 3½ hours later. However the Barcelona to Madrid flight was briefly forced to stop in Almazán, Soria due to reduced visibility caused by snow. Although this flight had set off at 9:00, aiming to arrive in Madrid at midday, the delay meant it arrived in Madrid two hours after the dignitaries had already left.

Within a year, the company was sponsored by the government to provide postal transport between Madrid and Barcelona. Meanwhile, Deutsche Luft Hansa was favourably rewarded for the 24% investment in the Iberia company when it was granted the regular service between Germany and Spain. On January 5, 1928 the route Barcelona – Marseilles – Geneva – Zürich – Stuttgart – Leipzig/Halle – Erfurt – Berlin was initiated. In July 1928, a twin-engined Dornier Wal was added to the fleet. This seaplane was used on a pioneering route between Cádiz and the Canary Islands. This was used to test the viability of a postal route to South America, by extending the route via Cape Verde Islands.
During the dictatorship of Miguel Primo de Rivera, it was proposed that the aviation companies in Spain should be combined and become state-controlled as a general interest public utility. This came into effect in early 1928. As a consequence, Iberia was merged into Compañía de Líneas Aéreas Subvencionadas S.A. (C.L.A.S.S.A.) together with the following other airlines Unión Aérea Española (U.A.E.), Compañía Española de Tráfico Aéreo (C.E.T.A.) the pilot training company Compañía Española de Aviación (C.E.A.) and the airship line Transaérea Colón.
Although Iberia ceased activities on 29 May 1929, barely eighteen months after having begun operations, the name "Iberia" continued to be registered by Director-General Daniel de Araoz y Aréjula. Of all the airlines that formed CLASSA, Iberia would be the only one to keep in existence after the merger.
Following the proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic in 1931 the LAPE (Líneas Aéreas Postales Españolas) company, the airline that would replace CLASSA, became established. LAPE began operations in April 1932, CLASSA flying under the Spanish Republican Flag for one year.
LAPE operated even during the Spanish Civil War, mainly in its Madrid - Barcelona line, although a great part of the planes of its fleet were requisitioned by the Spanish Republican Air Force and used as military transports.
As the name "Iberia" was still registered, it was used anew when airline operations began in 1937 in territory held by the rebel faction during the Spanish Civil War. In 1939, after the end of the conflict, the planes belonging to LAPE's fleet were repainted with the Iberia airline livery.
When the Iberia company fully restarted operations following the Civil War, it became a purely domestic airline. It won the right to many of the international routes, such as the service between Madrid and Lisbon; which had been previously established in early 1927 by Unión Aérea Española (U.A.E.).

One eighth of the new Iberia's capital investment was offered to Ala Littoria, fascist Italy's airline. After some deliberation, due to its negative experience in investing in the related Corporacion Sud Americana dos Servicios Aéreos, Ala Littoria decided to invest capital in Iberia in the form of two aircraft which were to join Iberia's fleet. The new Iberia's shares were held by the Spanish government (51%) and private investors (49%). Foreign interests could only own up to a maximum of 50% of the 49% of Iberia shares allocated to foreign investment. Ala Littoria purchased three Ju 52 airframes (without engines) from Lufthansa and gave them to Iberia in lieu of capital. The aircraft were put to work initially on the Rome-Venice-Munich-Berlin route.
The company still had close ties with Lufthansa, which during World War II caused considerable difficulties to maintain the fleet as the import of fuel and spare parts was infrequent. In addition the Allied Powers refused cooperation with the company until connections with Nazi Germany were severed.

The airline was nationalised on September 30, 1944, becoming part of INI. In 1946, using the Douglas DC-4 on the Madrid to Montevideo and Buenos Aires route, it became the first airline to fly between Europe and South America after WWII. The lucrative market to South America was helped by the families separated by the Civil War. However, there was intense competition from Air France, KLM and British South American Airways. Since the company was struggling to meet domestic demand, the Government allowed another company, Aviaco, to operate the domestic routes that Iberia did not use from February 18, 1948.
By the Pact of Madrid in 1953, visa requirements were eliminated for US visitors to Spain. This stimulated the commencement of transatlantic flights between Spain and United States the following year. In addition, the amendments made in Montreal to the Convention on International Civil Aviation on June 14, 1954 were liberal to Spain, allowing impetus for mass tourism using charter planes. Iberia responded to the increased traffic by acquiring a fleet of Lockheed Super Constellation long range aircraft and these served the routes to North and South America from 1954. The pressurised twin-engined Convair 440 was introduced to the company's European routes from 1957.
From 1961 Iberia had a fleet of Douglas DC-8 four-engined long range jet airliners. The busiest route was Madrid to Buenos Aires. By 1965 a joint board of Iberia and Aviaco was set up to coordinate policies so that services did not conflict. In the early 1970s the company bought Douglas DC-9s and Boeing 747s as it expanded routes to Central America, Warsaw, Athens and Istanbul.
In 1974 it launched Europe's first walk-on shuttle service, linking Madrid and Barcelona. That year it established the Serviberia telephone information service, the precursor of today's popular call centres, as well as the 'Red Jackets', uniformed ground staff with the mission of providing special service to customers and to resolve any problems that might arise.

By the 50th anniversary in 1977 the airline carried over 10 million passengers in a year for the first time. There was fierce internal and political debates over the use of Douglas DC-9s or Boeing 727s; with the result that Iberia bought Boeing 727s thereby boosting Boeing's flagging production line. However this financial commitment and subsequent failure to anticipate predicted passenger numbers, caused heavy losses for the company during the 1980s. This was especially disappointing in 1982, with the visit of Pope and the football World Cup. By 1987 routes to Tel Aviv, Khartoum, Moscow and Tokyo were added.
In the late 1980s/early 1990s Iberia planned a fleet renewal with the McDonnell Douglas MD-87, Airbus A320 and Airbus A340 replacing the Douglas DC-9, Boeing 727 and Douglas DC-10 respectively. A number of Boeing 757s were also bought.
At this time Iberia began to build up interests in other Spanish airlines – Aviaco, Viva Air, Binter Canarias and Binter Mediterráneo – and Latin American airlines Aerolíneas Argentinas, Viasa and Ladeco. In June 1990 the company led a consortium to buy Aerolíneas Argentinas for an agreed $2billion for 85% stake and the following year bought 45% stake in Viasa for $145million.
In 1991 Iberia set up Europe's first international airline frequent-flyer programme, Iberia Plus, and, in 1996, the airline launched the www.iberia.com website. The company ordered 76 aircraft from Airbus in February 1998, which was largest single consignment of Airbus ordered, and bought Aviaco in 1999 and inherited its fleet. This was the start of Iberia's shift from a Boeing/McDonnell Douglas fleet to an Airbus fleet.
By this stage privatisation calls from European Union and Spanish Government were being implemented. In December 1999 the company became semi-privatised with shares distributed 40% shareholders, 9% British Airways for €245million and 1% American Airlines. An initial public offering on October 2000 failed to go ahead, due to internal business difficulties, most notably the failure to offload stock in Aerolíneas Argentinas.
Iberia is an international transportation group, operating in about 100 airports in 40 countries, employing more than 26,000 people.
In 2002, Iberia celebrated its 75th anniversary making it one of the oldest airlines in the world. During those 75 years nearly 500 million people have been flown by Iberia, placing the company among the five largest European airlines, and important for routes connecting Spain with Europe and Latin America.
The Iberia Group encompasses the Iberia Regional/Air Nostrum franchise. In addition to transporting passengers and freight, Iberia carries out many related activities, such as aircraft maintenance, handling in airports, IT systems, in-flight catering, and holiday packages.
Iberia Group airlines fly to 97 destinations in 40 countries. Via code-sharing arrangements with other companies, it offers flights to another 60 destinations in 25 countries. With a fleet of almost 200 aircraft, it makes about 1,000 flights each day. In 2002, Iberia carried 28 million passengers and 210,000 tons of freight.
In addition, Iberia is an aircraft maintenance company, servicing its own fleet and those of another 48 companies, including some European airlines.[which?] Iberia is the main supplier of aircraft handling services at all Spanish airports, with more than 200 airline clients.
Iberia was a founding partner in the computerised air ticket reservation system Amadeus CRS, with an 18.28% stake – this was sold in 2005. It is also a tour operator through its Viva Tours and Tiempo Libre units, and with Cacesa it supplies package delivery services.
Iberia is allied with American Airlines and British Airways, and on September 1, 1999, joined the Oneworld alliance. British Airways owns 9% of its share capital.
In July 2004, Iberia announced it had decided to move its Latin American hub from Miami, Florida to San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Although rumoured plans that the airline was considering to set the hub at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport were discarded with the announcement, Iberia announced that it plans to expand its Puerto Rican schedules to connect San Juan with Central American cities.
In 2005, Iberia introduced its new Business Plus Class, on its Airbus A340 aircraft.
On February 5, 2006 the new Terminal 4 at Madrid Barajas was awarded to Iberia and the Oneworld alliance members. This provided expansion capabilities for Iberia. Iberia alone is responsible for around 60% of Madrid Barajas traffic. In 2005 Iberia and its regional branch Air Nostrum transported 21,619,041 passengers to/from Madrid Barajas alone.
On November 12, 2009, Iberia Airlines confirmed that it had reached a preliminary agreement to merge with British Airways. The merger between the two carriers will create the world's third-largest airline in terms of revenue. On April 25, 2010, it was confirmed that British Airways and Iberia had agreed to a merger, forming the International Airlines Group, although each airline would continue to operate under its current brand. International Airlines Group, established its head office in London and its registered office in Madrid, operating mainly from its two main hubs of London Heathrow Airport and Madrid Barajas Airport with secondary hubs at London Gatwick Airport and Barcelona El Prat Airport.
On December 23, 1948 a Douglas DC-3 crashed in bad weather near Gandesa killing all 27 occupants.
On March 5, 1973, 68 people were killed in a mid-air collision above the French city of Nantes involving an Iberia Douglas DC-9 flying from Palma to London as Flight 504; and a Convair 990 Coronado aircraft, operating as Spantax Flight 400. The Spantax Convair 990 was able to make a successful emergency landing whilst the Iberia DC-9 crashed killing everyone on board. The accident occurred during a French air traffic controllers' strike.
On December 17, 1973, an Iberia McDonnell Douglas DC-10 registered EC-CBN overran the runway upon landing at Boston Logan after a flight from Madrid Airport. There were no fatalities amongst the 168 people on board, however the aircraft was written off.
On February 19, 1985, Iberia Flight 610, a Boeing 727-256 crashed after hitting a television antenna installed on the summit of Monte Oiz while landing in Bilbao, killing 148 people.
On July 26, 1996 Iberia Flight 6621, a McDonnell-Douglas DC-10-30 flying from Madrid to Havana was hijacked mid-flight. The hijacker, a Lebanese national named Ibrahim Saada demanded the flight be diverted to Miami International Airport. Saada was later apprehended and faced up to 20 years in prison. No one was hurt and the flight later landed at Jose Marti International Airport some hours later.
On November 9, 2007 an Iberia Airbus A340-600, registration EC-JOH, was badly damaged after sliding off the runway at Old Mariscal Sucre International Airport. No injuries were reported. According to Airbus, the aircraft was written-off.

It is one of the important principles in life [a teaching given to me by my Guru Sri Bhagavan, many many years ago], that one has to become aware of any prejudice lurking within oneself, as one stands at the threshold of any new line of enquiry into an ostensibly unknown realm. Such an inward perception, at the very commencement of a new enquiry will enable us to steer clear of any crippling prejudice that we may be harbouring, and of which, we may not be sufficiently aware, without that self-critical internal probing.
‘Endeavours’ is not even the right term in this context, for we are dealing here with massive collective-aspirations which are in the nature of ‘intellectual, social or spiritual movements’. Such movements may come into existence, triggered by some crisis, and then may go on to have a life of their own for some centuries or even perhaps for some thousands of years. For the study of Vedic Astrology, and for unearthing that possible hidden prejudice against astrology itself[which though lying buried within ourselves, nevertheless, decisively restrains us from taking a head-long passionate plunge into its mysteries & farther reaches]; it has become necessary to understand both these movements in human history, and see them in their proper perspectives.

For the study of Vedic Astrology , and for unearthing that possible hidden prejudice against astrology itself[which though lying buried within ourselves , nevertheless , decisively restrains us from taking a head - long passionate plunge into its mysteries & farther reaches ] ; it has become necessary to understand both these movements in human history , and see them in their proper perspectives .

text: Looking forward for HVS Image while each generation since the HVS Image 2100 has been simplified yet made more powerful we believe that the next generation of HVS Image technology can be a major step forwards both in ease of use and in quality of data - and from that the ability to effortlessly analyse every aspect of behaviour. Part of this means that we are going against designerist fashion trends by enhancing the skeuomorphic user interfaces that made Apple and Windows user friendly rather than forcing the user to learn new obscure symbols. This isn't twee - a well designed skeuomorphic interface element uses metaphors that are easier to operate and since the screen elements will be designed for touch screen in future they need not take up more screen space than standard interface elements. This is particularly the case if they work smoothly with the Metro and Windows 8 operating system interface design standards. And of course skeuomorphic interface elements are a metaphor - not a straitjacket. It doesn't mean that we need to put wood cladding on the side of the water maze - just that we have clearly labelled buttons with picture icons and the design can work alongside custom controls to incorporate numeric input and feedback for accurately setting a value.

Even if you’re not at risk of dying, you can still get other people sick.
The number of people who died from the flu in the 2017-2018 season.
Estrada Anton // Shutterstock - Even if you will not die from flu, your actions affect others.
It feels like up until a couple years ago, the accepted line about the flu shot was that you only needed it if you were a) young, b) old, or c) sick, and that maybe it didn’t work that well anyway because it only protects against certain (the most common) strains. Millennials received this info gratefully; finally, a thing we were not responsible for, an errand we did not actually have to do. Unfortunately, this is wrong; in fact, everyone should get the flu shot.
Last year’s flu season was the worst in a decade, worse than the year of swine flu. Over 80,000 people died. There are many factors at work, but a big one that medical professionals attributed to the unusually high rate of deaths and infections was a drop in the rate of adults who bothered to get their shot — yes, those same people between the ages of 18 and 65 who “don’t need” it.
To think about vaccines as they affect each person individually is blinkered; sure, you don’t want to get sick, but more than vaccines prevent individual illness, they prevent illnesses from spreading. We see this already with children in locations where it’s trendy among parents to simply not get their kids vaccinated from preventable diseases like measles out of irrational fears; because of those parents, those diseases spread faster and people die more frequently. Epidemics happen because of new, wild, aggressive disease strains, but they also happen for lack of prevention. More to the point, just because you can afford to miss work or buy medication when you get sick doesn’t mean others can.
In the same way you don’t not vote because nothing is bothering you specifically, you don’t not get the flu shot because you are very likely to survive it yourself. This is how social contracts work: How a collective action impacts you personally is maybe the least important thing, especially if you are in the most privileged group. Please get your flu shot.

I usually cook a couple of pounds of beans in one day, depending on the size of your cooker (refer to the manufacturers guidelines) about a pound at a time. So yes, I will cook several batches, one after another and then store them in the freezer for an easy addition to soups and other meals. I know some resources say that you can cook the beans without soaking, or ‘quick soak’ them by letting them sit in boiling water, here’s my experience: You know all the things beans are supposed to do to you, the bad things why folks don’t want to eat beans? In my experience, the gentler you prepare the beans the less they cause you to have to forego your upcoming social appointments. 😉 That includes soaking them overnight, draining and rinsing them before putting them in the cooking pot and cooking over gentle heat. Yes, it takes a bit longer but the results are way worth it.
Have I ever led you astray? No? See!
For most beans: 1 pound dried beans = 2 cups dried = 4 – 5 cups cooked beans= 3-4 cans of beans!
Rinse the dried beans in cold water, then to soak overnight place in a good-sized bowl (the beans will swell and get bigger as they soak up the water) and cover with cold water. You want them covered by at least two inches of water.
Option A: Regular pot is fine, just cover with plenty of water and bring to a boil then reduce and simmer until tender, can take 1-2 hours depending on the variety.
Options B (my preferred method): Pressure Cooker, (following manufacturers guidelines) For mine that means cover with about a finger’s width of fresh water, close the lid and place on the stove over medium heat. Slowly heat until the pressure valve gets up to the first red ring, turn heat to low and set your timer (*see below).
After releasing the pressure from the cooker by running cold water over it, open and drain the cooked beans in a colander in your sink until cool, then package in snack sized zip top bags, and store 6 to 8 baggies in a gallon sized bag labelled with the type of bean and the date before putting in the freezer.
And please understand that every pressure cooker is different, the beans could be fresher or older, so you do need to experiment a little. A lot of times I can tell by the smell of the steam escaping the pot if they still smell ‘green’ and need more cooking. I pre-soak all of these beans, unless otherwise stated. I also find that letting the pot stand off the heat for a while before releasing the pressure by running cold water over the outsides and the top keeps the beans nicer. NEVER EVER try to open a cooker that is still under pressure, this could be highly dangerous as the water still boils inside the cooker long after it’s been removed from the fire! Also too drastic of a pressure change and they tend to burst, same when you cook them at too high a pressure, so stick with the first red ring. This is not an activity to watch TV next to.
*Buy beans at a place where they have a quick turnover. WHile they are dry and will keep a long time, quality will diminish over time, just like with anything else you eat. Buy your beans at a latin or indian grocer, folks that eat a lot of beans tend to not have them on the shelf as long.
*Do not mix beans from two packages bought at different times. Cooking time varies with how old and dry the beans are as well as by variety and a new bag plus one that just showed up in the back of your pantry could cook at different times leaving some beans hard and some mushy.
I wanted to do something a bit special, celebratory for our 1 year anniversary and how better to celebrate than with something sweet and chocolatey? Yes, it is true, today my little blog turns one!
And since the weather looked a good deal like fall today I added another good for you ingredient: Pumpkin, to make it moist (also packs vitamin E, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Iron, Manganese and is a good source of fiber) and chick pea flour to keep it gluten free. I did have a whole big bag of chickpea flour, from who knows what recipe originally that I just rediscovered last week in making Socca.
By the way, get Besan from the Indian grocer, much cheaper than other healthfood store brands. As a matter of fact, anything you can buy at an ethnic store will be cheaper. If it is considered a specialty or an exotic item the grocery store will a) buy less of it, making it more expensive, and b) they can get away with charging premium dollar for ‘delicacies’ and ‘gourmet food’.For example, if you have a Asian grocer nearby, get your shallots there, also rice and rice noodles, dried or fresh will be a lot cheaper, so is Tofu, if you have that on your meal plan. Indian grocers usually carry various beans, peas and lentils, spices and almonds are usually less as well. And of course they have Besan, which is the chick pea flour we just talked about. But since it is not sold as a ‘gluten free’ flour… fraction of the cost!
In a large bowl mash the bananas and mix in the pumpkin puree, then stir in the cocoa powder.
Add the flours and 2 tablespoons of the raw sugar to the cocoa mixture and stir until well blended, then add the chocolate chips or nuts.
Bake in the middle of the pre heated oven for 45-50 minutes or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
Soft serve state… …or popsicle, fantastic either way!
Well, beyond dreaming, this is not going to get much words from me, except it’ only 2 ingredients and a must-try! No added sugar since mangoes are sweet as a dream, and if you use coconut milk, the whole thing is vegan.
With the machine running, slowly pour in coconut milk (or half and half, if going the dairy route) until the mango crumbles start to blend into a homogenous mass.
Gosh, you have no idea, but just writing about those cookies makes my mouth water, and of course they are already gone… (I see some more baking coming up in this girl’s future) They are chewy and fragrant and yes, the texture is somewhat different than regular oatmeal cookies, after all there are mostly oats in there (and they are made without gluten flour).
If you are cultivating your sweet tooth, please feel free to use more ‘sweet stuff’. The cookies here are getting some of their sweetness from the raisins, but they would be a perfect treat for my Dad, who doesn’t really like sweets. I am a big believer in flavor over just plain sweet, or salty for that matter; and these cookies fit the bill perfectly.
Stir the flax mix into the bowl with the oats, add up to another 1/4 cup of water if dough looks too dry.
Drop cookies by the rounded tablespoon onto a prepared baking sheet, and bake until golden brown on the bottom and just starting to turn golden on top, about 8 to 11 minutes.
Glorious colors of fall! Here the leaves have finally turned color and as I am typing this I can see the red and yellow leaves glow in the sunlight, and the bronze and ‘still green’ leaves add depth to the shadows. The birds have returned to the bird feeder in droves, the nights finally have that crisp quality you only experience on an early morning in fall and I am enjoying the view to say the least.
To celebrate fall, with its vibrant orange of pumpkins, golden corn field and that last rest of summer’s warmth int he afternoon, I roasted up a brightly colored, mighty tasty and versatile sauce/dip/spread. Enjoy!
Roast whole red pepper until blackened in spots all over by holding it over a gas flame or placing under the broiler, then place in paper bag to cool a bit (the steam will loosen the skin making it easier to peel, added bonus, you won’t burn your fingers as much).
Peel red pepper (don’t have a guy do this, for some reason their hands are not made the same as ours and they cannot handle heat, as per my experience 😉 ) , this works best using a paper towel and literally rubbing the skin off. Cut in half and discard the seeds, then chop flesh.
Place pepper in your food processor or blender. I use a really cute mini processor for sauces and dips. And blend until you have a chunky mess, add the olive oil, blend until fairly smooth.
Add the pumpkin and salt and process some more. The result should not have any chunks left in it but be smooooooth.
Gently reheat to use over pasta, like the Pumpkin Goat Cheese Ravioli for example or chill and use as a spread for sandwiches or serve cold as a dip for veggies. Yields about 1 1/2 cups.
The story goes: After one of the Gods (Brahma) gave the demon Mahish the power not to be destroyed by man (including male Gods) because of doing a good deed for Brahma, Mahish started to cause all sorts of terror. So, the 3 forms of God, Brahma (birth or creation), Vishnu (life or preservation) and Shiva (death or destruction) combined their energies and powers and created a female form of God (Devi or Durga) to destroy the demon, (since no man could vanquish him). She represents the furious powers of all the male gods, and is the ferocious protector of the righteous, and destroyer of the evil. Durga is usually portrayed as riding a lion, and carrying weapons in her many arms.
I’ve also heard “Durga” means ‘invincible‘ and she is the personification of ‘shakti’ or divine feminine force!
* Make sure that one of these is frozen. If it is still hot outside, both may be frozen or you could add some ice cubes before blending.
Put all ingredients in the blender, starting with the banana, add fruit, then the almond butter on top and pour the liquid over top.
Enjoy or pack in a cooler or lunchbox and take to work to have throughout the day.
Pour into popsicle molds (or any small paper or plastic cups and add one of those wooden sticks they sell at craft stores) and freeze for a sugar free treat later.

The cookies here are getting some of their sweetness from the raisins , but they would be a perfect treat for my Dad , who does n’t really like sweets . I am a big believer in flavor over just plain sweet , or salty for that matter ; and these cookies fit the bill perfectly .
 Stir the flax mix into the bowl with the oats , add up to another 1/4 cup of water if dough looks too dry .
 Drop cookies by the rounded tablespoon onto a prepared baking sheet , and bake until golden brown on the bottom and just starting to turn golden on top , about 8 to 11 minutes .
 Glorious colors of fall ! Here the leaves have finally turned color and as I am typing this I can see the red and yellow leaves glow in the sunlight , and the bronze and ‘ still green ’ leaves add depth to the shadows . The birds have returned to the bird feeder in droves , the nights finally have that crisp quality you only experience on an early morning in fall and I am enjoying the view to say the least .
 To celebrate fall , with its vibrant orange of pumpkins , golden corn field and that last rest of summer ’s warmth int he afternoon , I roasted up a brightly colored , mighty tasty and versatile sauce / dip / spread . Enjoy !
 Roast whole red pepper until blackened in spots all over by holding it over a gas flame or placing under the broiler , then place in paper bag to cool a bit ( the steam will loosen the skin making it easier to peel , added bonus , you wo n’t burn your fingers as much ) .
 Peel red pepper ( do n’t have a guy do this , for some reason their hands are not made the same as ours and they can not handle heat , as per my experience 😉 ) , this works best using a paper towel and literally rubbing the skin off . Cut in half and discard the seeds , then chop flesh .
 Place pepper in your food processor or blender . I use a really cute mini processor for sauces and dips . And blend until you have a chunky mess , add the olive oil , blend until fairly smooth .
 Add the pumpkin and salt and process some more . The result should not have any chunks left in it but be smooooooth .
 Gently reheat to use over pasta , like the Pumpkin Goat Cheese Ravioli for example or chill and use as a spread for sandwiches or serve cold as a dip for veggies . Yields about 1 1/2 cups .
 The story goes : After one of the Gods ( Brahma ) gave the demon Mahish the power not to be destroyed by man ( including male Gods ) because of doing a good deed for Brahma , Mahish started to cause all sorts of terror . So , the 3 forms of God , Brahma ( birth or creation ) , Vishnu ( life or preservation ) and Shiva ( death or destruction ) combined their energies and powers and created a female form of God ( Devi or Durga ) to destroy the demon , ( since no man could vanquish him ) . She represents the furious powers of all the male gods , and is the ferocious protector of the righteous , and destroyer of the evil . Durga is usually portrayed as riding a lion , and carrying weapons in her many arms .
 I ’ve also heard “ Durga ” means ‘ invincible ‘ and she is the personification of ‘ shakti ’ or divine feminine force !
 * Make sure that one of these is frozen . If it is still hot outside , both may be frozen or you could add some ice cubes before blending .
 Put all ingredients in the blender , starting with the banana , add fruit , then the almond butter on top and pour the liquid over top .
 Enjoy or pack in a cooler or lunchbox and take to work to have throughout the day .
 Pour into popsicle molds ( or any small paper or plastic cups and add one of those wooden sticks they sell at craft stores ) and freeze for a sugar free treat later .

Classroom Ready...and a few freebies!
My school adopted a new reading program and I've been trying my very best to make sure I am ready and organized in order to do my very best this year.
So I've got tons of pictures and freebies to share. I'm also working on my Pacing Guide for this year. It will be available very soon.
But first...here's a little taste of some of my wedding news.
In 99 days I will be a MRS.! WHAT!!
You can't even see the best part of it...I'm so in love!!
So here's my classroom. I'll start with first steps into my room.
This is the door to my room. I used butcher paper and crumbled it up into long strips to make a rainbow. I wrote my little ones names on clouds and taped them onto the rainbow.
I have 23 kids this year! Underneath, I kept my How will you start the day? poster up. Kids choose a hug, handshake, high five, or hollywood kiss. Here's the link for that freebie.
This the view as soon as you step into the room. Kids will drop their lunches in the bucket on the right. Straight ahead are the coat cubbies. Kids place their backpacks and coats in these cubbies. The cubbies to the right are for papers that need to go home.
Here are a few more close up pictures of the wall on the right.
This is how kids will mark their choices for lunch each day. On top of the cubbies are some clothespins. Kids mark their choice and I record it on our daily lunch sheet. If you'd like the sign, "What's for Lunch?", click here. The pictures for the lunch choices were from TpT.
The sign says, Welcome to Kindergarten. More on the pennant signs later.
Here's a close up of the kids coat cubbies. In the book boxes (which I found at IKEA for super cheap) are the journals and folders the kiddos will need for the year.
These are pics of my supply closet (I know I died last year when I found out I had a closet!) There's tons of stuff in there but it works.
When the door to the supply closet is closed...this is hanging on the door. This is for the kiddos to use throughout the day. They mostly use the supplies when they are at the creation station (art center) but it holds extra scissors, glue sticks and other daily used supplies.
Here's a close up shot. I found the labels on TpT.
This is the door to the bathroom. I decided to use it as our birthday door as well. I hope it stays nice and neat...and germ free all year. On each cupcake is a candle for each child's birthday.
Here's how I made each candle.
I drew some rectangles then covered them with washi tape.
Then, I drew some flames (this is where I'll place the number date of each kiddos' birthday). On each candle is a label of each kiddos' name.
This is my center chart. After reading Jan Richardson's book this summer, I decided to try a new way to post my centers. I needed a few more pocket charts in order to make it work. The pennant says centers...more on those later.
This is my writing center. The sign says, "Writer's Wall". I took a cue from Mrs. Wills and posted my monthly/theme vocabulary words on a string with clothespins. They will be changed out as our units change. I have Back to School words posted.
This is another part of the writing center. It's hard to see...but on top are various activities for kids to choose from. I also have writing tools available on the top shelf. The next shelf holds different kinds of paper for the kiddos to choose from. The second shelf has an organizer bin that holds envelopes, index cards and post-it notes. This row also has our class set of dry erase boards and makers. The last shelf has our classroom clipboards.
This is the back of the writing center shelf. It's my science wall. The pennant says, "science". More on those later. On the left, are the steps of the scientific method.
This is my area. I got rid of my teacher desk last year so I just use the computer/tv desk for my teacher desk. It helps cut down on build up if I have a very small area to work in. It also helps create more student space.
This is my small group area. Right now, I have goodies for the first day sprawled across the top. I know it's super tiny...but I don't like jellybean/kidney tables. I can easily fit 3-4 kiddos here. I might need to change it out for a larger rectangular table but...we will see.
This is right next to my area and my small group table. The bins on the right hold my small group binders. I was able to fit 3 in each bin. The cart also holds my leveled readers. I need to organize them a little more but I like having everything in one place. The binders hold my RtI paperwork. The rainbow bins on the left hold all the stuff I need for small groups. I was able to fit a few small dry erase boards and markers in a bin. They also are organized by skill. So I have a drawer with rhyming games, another with phoneme segmentation games, and so on.
This is my calendar space. Last year I had more space for calendar stuff...but I had to cut it down to this space so I had plenty of room for Fundations. To the left are my classroom jobs. These are a freebie on my TpT site. Click here for your copy. To the right is my Teacher, can I chart.
Here is a close up of how I set up my Teacher, can I? signs. I got rid of the Yes/No choice and printed out some thumbs up/down pictures. Now, kiddos will know exactly what their options are! I really like this new change. And...I made sure to add the thumbs up/down option to the download which is free on TpT. Click here to get yourself a copy.
This is my Fundations wall. I had to devote a lot of space to the posters we use in Fundations. I like the set up because it's in the center of my classroom so the kids have enough space to see each lesson. It's also in a great place so if kiddos need to work on the carpet or in their seats, they can still see everything with ease. The pennant at the top says, "Fundations". More on those later..
This is going to be my poetry center. The pennant says, "poetry".
These are my organization bins for different colored markers, color pencils, or crayons. I'm hoping that when I hear, "I need an orange." Kiddos will head over to these bins and grab what they need. If you'd like a copy of the little crayon color signs, click here.
This is my listening center. Last year, I had the signs printed out on larger sized paper...but this year I sized down and just taped the steps on to the table.
This is my classroom library. The bucket holds tons of pillow choices for the kiddos. They love to lay out and read. The bags on the wall are take home bags that feature an activity and a book. Kids take home one bag each week.
Here's my word wall...I need a little something up at top...It looks a little boring. But I'm sure anchor charts and kids work will fill up that empty space in no time.
That was intense!! Lots of pictures...but I'm really excited for my new set up this year. I'm hoping that I'm organized enough to have a smooth year (fingers crossed).
I have in my room. Here are a couple of warnings before you download.
1. I made it so that each page could be printed in the ROYGBIV pattern.
2. I had to organize the pages in a different way so the letters are a little mixed up.
3. There are 49 pages of letters.
5. Lastly, unfortunately due to time constraints I can't personalize this freebie.
Hey Vera you have been hard at it. You say your room is small but with all the nooks and signs ...it looks huge. Glad to have you back blogging and super excited for you... 99 days and counting. All the best for a great year.
I'm your newest follower! I'm also going to be sending you my first SLANT box!! Yay! Ill be emailing you soon with some questions. Fun!

The RAF didn't operate UFOs from Little Fartington.
But they never flew them because Boscombe (and the UK) was covered with the wrong kind of air for them to operate.
Charles Frederick? He was in the R&D Dept at the same time I was!

Although it is required of attorneys to maintain client confidentiality at all times, it is prudent for clients, especially corporate clients, to examine a law firm’s data security practices before hiring them. Karsof™ Integrated Network Security System can insure the level of security needed to keep your important legal information safe, for both you and your attorney.
Law firms are required to implement specific data security practices and they must ensure that all staff and personnel understand and adhere to such procedures. This usually involved password protection and other forms of penetrable encryptions. Even with every protection, these methods are not only penetrable, but they’re outdated technology worthy of being backup, not your main security. Karsof™ Integrated Network Security System is a more secure way to protect yourself and your sensitive legal documents.
Law firms need to have distinct rules in order to protect employee to employee document transfers, but most importantly, for arbitration and litigation transfers.
Law firms, as well as their corporate clients who may be sharing confidential information, should have a system in place that provides such support regarding confidentiality and takes the utmost precautions to protect transmitted information. Karsof Systems provides that level of security; it offers an integrated network system that unequivocally protects and secures your documents.
Undoubtedly, having rules and a system that protects a firm’s document storage, and retention procedures are very important. However, the eventual destruction of those documents is equally as important. Karsof Systems ensured the secure destruction of documents with its patented Integrated Network Security System technology.
Many states have laws that require firms to retain documents for a certain number of years, but digital document disposal isn’t as easy as shredding the hard copies of the past. And although digital documents do solve the problem of space, it does pose the problem of eventually needing to destroy a digital document. This is never an issue with Karsof Systems; they ensure only authorized personnel are able to access and fully destroy documents when necessary.
