time making them.

On the way to technology I was only talking to the person next to me.I was showing the Care
values by saying thank-you to the bus driver and not talking loudly.On the way back I was only
talking to the person next to me.

I had a great time at technology and I can't wait until next time!

  • Year 7 and 8
    • Identifying and resolving issues that come from competing information in texts
      gathering, evaluating, and synthesising information across a small range of texts

Term 1 Novel Study

Term 1 Novel Study

This term I have been reading and studying the novel …Abandon Ship

I found this novel (interesting)  because…I like reading about events that have happen in the past and I like reading books that have a good tittle.

During the novel I had to complete two major assessment tasks. The first is an Explain Map which shows the consequences of a major event in the book. The second was a Describe++ Map (Inference map) which shows I how I have connected prior knowledge and other experiences to what I have been reading to make an inference.

National Standard this covers

  • Year 7/8  Standard
    • using several pieces of information to make inferences
      using their prior knowledge, along with information in the text, to interpret abstract ideas, complex plots, and sophisticated themes
    • I can use a range of strategies, such as inferring, to work out more complex words.

Inspirational Looks

From New York to Paris; shoes, colors, prints, accessories... etc. Looks to forward to in the future.  ♡

Love all these looks I found on Street peeper

Monday, October 22, 2012

If you ask me what it is that I like about what I do, I would tell you it's the transformation process of it all and absolutely the final corollary. Many of us will stand in front of a mirror and neglect to see the real beauty God has given us.  I for one several years ago after relentlessly damaging my hair do to relaxers, trying to appear like someone that I am not, made the courageous decision to grow my hair out naturally in the way that God had intended it for me.  Surprisingly of course with a lot of encouragement, and floundering with many of my colleagues I learned that I was more attractive, youthful, and happier with my natural curly hair.
 For me it was a life changing experience that I would love you for many to share with me...  As a hairdresser and curly hair specialist I have been able to transform not just the look or style, but the lives of so many other women and men alike. Like myself they too could not believe that they could look and feel so good in the nature of their hair the hair that is one if not the greatest accessory to any woman's look, and if you don't believe me here are some before and after looks of some women and men I have had the pleasure to work on.
Transformation #1
This is Maritza she felt her hair was out of shape, boring, and dry. She was open for a change

After a nice chat some layers and introduction  the right products

she learned her hair wasn't straight after all it had lots of movement and  personality

Transformation #2

as well as straight hair there are tools to styling curly hair

Men too can work with their natural curls without buzzing it all off .
Transformation #3

Products used for styling were the devacurl three step
here are you devacurl 3 step for maximum result

Perihal dan Video Band Hujan Kena Maki di Johor

Perihal cerita pasal Band Hujan kena maki di Johor. Jeraul barujer terbaca pasal benda tu di adalah re-post article from Original Post on Gossip Artis Malaysia :: Sensasi Selebriti

My friend send email to me about Band Hujan Has be F*ck with visitor there? What is going on, below is review from the email i receive.

I got this new yesterday from AzizulHakim at my Indiemusik blog. Im not gonna blog about this fuking thing at my indiemusik blog because this is a really fuked up & embrassing matter to our local ndependent music industry. This thing was happen on Art of Noise Fest in Johor Bahru last Saturday (19/4/08). As far as i know, there’s 17 bands will perform that day including HUJAN.

Hujan only performed one song for that day which is “AKU SCANDAL” from check2rock2 EP. But amazingly, some of the crowd going wild and showed up their middle finger which known resembaled for word “F*CK!”. Not enough by showing their middle finger, they also keep shouting and yelling “FCUK YOU!” from beginning to the end of “AkuScandal” song. You can see clearly their fagg0t act at the video below:

Embrassing right? They also keep showing up the official t-shirt of Hujan which already modifiede into “HUJANjing” which meant “Hujan Anjing”. Wtf?.
I follow the comments that is appeared at Little Miss Eezah blog which began popular after that incident because she/he is the first one that blogged about this thing. From what i know, this things happen because of some missconflict between Hujan vocalist which is Noh Salleh that has made a clear announcement about sensitive issues on gay and homo people at a gig in MMU Melaka last year according to one of this post from RiceCooker. It is something like this:

“aah yang lembut lembut tu boleh keluar tk pyh tgk gig kitorang ekk”, Noh HUJAN.

Sort of something like that. Just read the comment at Little Miss Ezzah blog. For me, i am a homophobic (phobia of the homo people) too. I have already known about this anti-Hujan community quite a long time ago. Hentikan lah oke ! Read this.

Actually this is a small community that dislikes Hujan band just because Hujan is a homophobic band. They do have a myspace account a long time ago but then it’s already disappeared maybe because somebody already report about it. Just visit this.

Some of them say that Hujan already become too arrogont and high-demanding band. Im not really sure about this. But just dont give a fcuk about this. Yes, i am one of Hujan fanatic or so-called Raingers because i am supporting our local music industry. Let support our small local scene. Dont be a slave, let’s free out yourself from other. Kalau tak sampai bila nak maju. Lu pikir lah sendiri!!

Jeraul : Salah seorang peminat karya band Hujan....

Caterpillar Bento

Lemon risotto with asparagus makes a fresh summer bento lunch. The caterpillar is made of yellow tomatoes, cherry tomatoes and raw purple carrots, with chive detail. He sits on a bed of red lettuce. I find the vegetables are more likely to get eaten if they're cute! Don't you think? Fruit section includes kiwi, apricot, strawberry and blackberry.

This bento is for my 6 year old son, and he'll take it to summer fun, show his buddies, and get a healthy & nutritious meal all in one. Love this bento box, btw. When your bento is cute, the transparent lid serves to show it off ;)

Ginger-Lime Beef Stir-Fry

Did you know that ginger is grown right here in the Valley?  The folks at Old Friends Farm in Amherst grow it and harvest it young.  Among other places, it's available for sale at Green Fields Market.

This quick stir-fry has the flavors of Southeast Asia.  Serve over rice, maybe cooked with coconut milk.

Canola oil
1/4 cup minced ginger root
6-8 cloves garlic, minced
2-3 red bell peppers, thinly sliced (frozen is fine)
1 1/2 - 2 lbs cooked steak, sliced thin
Salt to taste
1 medium lime, in quarters or eighths

Heat some canola oil in a wok or large skillet.  Add the ginger, garlic, and peppers and saute for 2-3 minutes.  Add the steak and toss to coat well with the seasonings.  Stir fry just long enough to heat through.  Add salt to taste, then sprinkle with the juice of one quarter of the lime and toss again.

Serve hot over rice.  Sprinkle with additional lime juice at the table, giving each diner a piece of lime with which to do so.

Serves 4-6.

Heritage Wine to distribute Darling Cellars

Published:  30 November, 2011

Gloucestershire based Heritage Wine, has announced it is to distribute South African producer Darling Cellars premium varietal wines in the UK.

The initial offer will be its Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinotage, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon under the exclusive Mamre Vale label.

Darling Cellars was established in 1996 in the Western Cape as an alliance between 20 growers.

The Cellars has access to 1300 hectares of vineyards and produces a range of distinctive wines bottled under the recently recognized designation, 'Wine of Origin, Darling'.

It enjoys a wide diversity of geology and similarly varied landscapes; vineyard plantings benefit from the proximity of the Atlantic coast and the cooling on-shore breezes.

Low yields and bush-vine pruning contributes to the characters of the Darling wines and the land is tended sympathetically, with due regard for the conservation of flora and fauna in accordance with the WWF's Biodiversity & Wine Initiative.

Guy Adams, managing director of Heritage Wine, says: "We've been looking for another forward-thinking South African producer to complement our key agency Bergsig so we can offer exclusive wines with unrivalled quality-price ratio that target the most competitive section of the wine list."

First Time Publications

In our continuing series entitled “From the Archives,” we look at the work of two young fiction writers both of whom were published for the first time in Harvard Review. While this is unusual it is certainly not unheard of, and we are always ecstatic when it occurs. We think it’s our job to discover new writers and there is something particularly exciting about publishing a writer, young or old, who has never had anything in print before.

Charles Yu’s first published story, “Problems for Self-Study” (HR 23), leapt out at us not just because of its eccentric presentation (which might as easily have worked against it), but because it miraculously managed to pack a complex and moving human drama into the rigid confines of a formal outline. A clever and quirky illustration of the principle of expressive form, the story examines the limitations of a schematic worldview in the face of such messy human emotions as love. Yu, who practices law in California, has gone on to publish both a novel, How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe (Pantheon, 2010), and a short story collection, Third Class Superhero (Mariner, 2006).

Jason Lewis’s story, “Rodolfo and Nélida” (HR 33), was another, quite different kind of pleasure. Pulled from the slush pile by a reader, it impressed us all with its vitality and freshness. A rough, lively, unexpected tale about drug runners and romance, it was all the more refreshing to us in New England because of its southwestern setting. In 2007 the author’s biographical note read: “Jason Lewis is a twenty-four-year-old college drop-out with a novel in progress. He was born in Texas, raised in Minnesota, and currently makes his home in New Mexico. This is his first publication.” Whether he went on to finish either the novel or the degree we unfortunately don’t know, but we think he made a promising beginning.

Problems for Self-Study
Rodolfo and Nélida

Nobody Ever Gets Lost by Jess Row

It’s that time again…

It’s always an interesting time of year for us, as we wait to find out which, if any, of our authors have made it into the major anthologies. Harvard Review has been fortunate this past decade, contributing work to one or more of the big three (Best American Short Stories, Best American Poetry, and Best American Essays) nine years out of ten.

So, we were thrilled to learn that a story from HR38 by JessRow has been picked by Geraldine Brooks for Best American Short Stories. The story, titled “The Call of Blood,” is featured in Row’s new collection, Nobody Ever Gets Lost.

Row is now two for two at Harvard Review. The last time we published his work, a story called “Heaven Lake” in HR 22, it too was picked for Best American Short Stories, guest edited that year by Walter Mosley. In recognition of this stellar collaboration, Harvard Review will host a reading by Row later this spring, so stay tuned for more information.

Essays on History

I have now edited Harvard Review for ten years and it occurs to me that my own memory of the journal constitutes a particular sort of archive. Not alphabetical, not always perfectly searchable, not even necessarily complete, but unique in that every entry is cross-referenced in some idiosyncratic way. I know, as perhaps no one else in the world knows, that there are clusters among the hundreds of stories and essays that we have published over these years. Some have to do with subject matter: we have, for example, a number of stories about old ladies, also several excellent pieces told from a child's point of view. Sometimes the organizing principle is formal: there are pieces that do not resemble each other in the least but are linked in my mind because they are similarly experimental.

From the Archives is a new feature of HROnline showcasing prose selections from the past ten years. Our inaugural selections are a pair of essays on historical subjects by two writers united in my mind by their fine ear, their dry wit, and the deftness with which they move from image to idea. We hope you enjoy Barbara Sjoholm’s “Lapponia” from HR 29 and Kathryn Rhett’s “Our So-Called Illustrious Past” from HR 30.

Keep Up! The First Three Days of Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2015 Roundup!

Well if you missed your flight to Paris at the beginning of the week, don’t worry, you didn’t miss much. Paris Fashion Week did not start off with a bang. If you arrived to Paris, went out all night, and missed Wednesday’s Fashion Week morning schedule, don’t worry, you didn’t miss much either. Hopefully though, you pulled yourself together by the afternoon to make the 3 PM Dries van Noten show. Day three (Thursday) was rocking with Balmain and Lanvin. Let’s check out these three shows, shall we?

Dries van Noten is a Belgian designer whom I love two-fold because I adore his designs and I adore his Parisian shop because it is filled with his collection and antiques. To describe yesterday’s show at the Hotel de Ville I would have to say… “If you were invited to Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas’ Left Bank Parisian apartment at 27 rue de Fleurus for an early evening aperitif, you could choose any one of van Noten’s pieces and look smashing.” Navy blues, burgundy with fabulous floral neck pieces. The shoes were brilliant booties with a great heel. But what I also loved about the show is how van Noten chose strong independent women singing their hits a cappella… Rihanna, Beyoncé, Kate Bush, Missy Elliott and Debbie Harry. The only background music was the click of the models heels. Loved it! To check out the whole show click HERE. Let’s take a look at some of my favorite looks from the show…

Wunderkid Oliver Rousteing for Balmain did not disappoint at Thursday’s show. This show is strictly for the cool kids. My favorite Kardashians were all over the it. (Yes, don’t be so surprised, I love the Kardashians. All of them). Kim showed off her new blond locks and Kendall walked the show with her BFF, our chic and sweet Gigi. Emerald green, purple, orange, sapphire and marigold were the predominant colors. And believe it or not, Miss Non-Flashy Ellie, absolutely adored the fringe looks! You can watch the whole fabulous show HERE… But first, check out my favorite looks…

Lastly, today, we have my beloved Lanvin. I absolutely adore everything about Lanvin… The designer, Alber Elbaz, the collections, the shop windows, the logo, the perfect French blue boxes… Everything! One of the oldest fashion houses of Paris, Lanvin seems to always have one foot in the classical past and one foot in the stylish future. For this collection, Elbaz interpreted his Moroccan roots with a rather eclectic boho brush. You know this girl loves a good tassel! Jessica Michault of Now Fashion describes the collection… “The colorful three-dimensional passementerie of a caftan was transferred onto pants or fitted coats. The tassels of a Fez hat became the diagonal fringing on dresses, or ornamented the end of rope belts. While peasant blouses grew into fluid voluminous dresses, which the designer grounded with interesting leather harnesses that embraced just one side of the body. “ All I can say was that it was absolutely lovely lovely lovely. You should definitely check out the whole collection HERE. My favorite looks? Here they are…

Voilà! The best of the first three days of Paris Fashion Week. Stay tuned for my roundup tomorrow with Balenciaga, Christian Dior and a few more surprises.

A toute!

  1. Paris Fashion week has never been on my radar, I'm just an ordinary CT country girl, but I just watched the first video (mostly for the music you mentioned) and was surprisingly moved by the beauty of the experience. Thanks so much for sharing the loveliness!

  2. Whoa, fabulous, thanks for sending the show videos, watched all of the fabrics and on and on and on.......loved your shared post about "The Girls" staying at your home, food, what a diet...a stick I could never be @ 5'5"....I'm curvy, not over weight,
    just, it is what it is....I dream to come to Paris...Provence to live......ha ha ha.....xo...

  3. DVN..............I could wear it ALL!Those long coats and flowers about the neckline.........all stunning!MY poor neighbors........I'm already a bit ECCENTRIC................could you imagine if I walked out the front door like this...............MIGHT HAVE TO TRY!

  4. I have always want the Lanvin boxes lined up in my closet.

  5. Replies
    1. Dear Angus, how can you not love the Kardashians? They are a close knit family, they are funny, they are real and thank God for Kanye because now they dress better. How could you not love someone for making zillions of dollars for doing absolutely nothing? To me, that's brilliant. XOXO

  6. Lanvin and Balmain I could wear anything in these fabulous collections!!
    Ellie thanks for sharing all of this wonder!
    The Arts by Karena

  7. Love it all - fabulous wearable picks!!

  8. Oh now that was VERY fun. Thank you, Christina Binkley, I mean Ellie. ;) While the Dries and Lanvin shows were exceptionally beautiful (as always but even more so) I was surprised by absolutely loving the Balmain show. I think that is the first show from that house that is both pertinent and yet totally true to its roots that I have seen in a really long time. Left me dreaming about what it must be like to be the woman that wears those clothes in real life!

The New Deal

Is that I'm going to take a page from Seamus's blog Days Run Away and really give it a go updating daily, or at least semi-daily. I feel like I keep missing days until it feels too late, and then I have about a month's worth of photos, so I end up not posting half of the progress shots. So here goes.

I've been doing some little samples of new techniques. I finally figured out how to crochet, after 4-5 years of scratching my head after making a chain stitch. Don't know why it suddenly clicked, I was just staring at a drawing in one of my needlepoint books, and it all made sense.

The other piece is something called 'Hungarian Cloth?' or at least that's what the old book I saw it in called it. It's basically a dense double buttonhole. I think it'd look good black-on-black.

I really want to try Hardanger embroidery soon, just looking for an appropriate even-weave fabric. Also thinking about translating broderie anglais to wool on a large scale. And card-weaving is still in the back of my head, especially since I know i have a weaving-based project once I get back to school.

I've picked up this dress again to try and finish it by school's start--I'd really like to get it, another shirt, and a pair of shorts done before I start. We'll see.
Getting through all the needlelace sections is a grind...

I'll admit the fit's a little awkward, but it was really dictated by the size of the window-squares. Next time I'd make them a little smaller. And not out of wool (I don't have a fair picture yet, but I'm playing around with the pattern in silk organza, the transparency is really beautiful.)

The needlelace gradated from very tight to loose. I think I'll put a dark gray fabric as the underskirt, it'll soften the effect a bit I think.

More tomorrow, or so I hope!

Hawks @ Hornets — Things of Note

Graham Chapple —  March 21, 2017

The shorthanded Atlanta Hawks dropped their fourth game in a row, falling to the Charlotte Hornets 105-90 at the Spectrum Center. The Hornets were led by Nic Batum’s and Kemba Walker’s 16 points while Frank Kaminsky added 14 points off the bench. For the Hawks, they were led by Dennis Schröder’s 20 points.

Standings watch

Goodbye, home court advantage! The Hawks are now four games behind the Toronto Raptors for the fourth seed and now need to look over their shoulders rather than looking ahead of them. They are just one game ahead of the Indiana Pacers for the fifth seed.

There’s a little bit of panic amongst Hawks fans. It’s all going wrong at the wrong time of the season and there’s concern in the locker room too about the Hawks’ recent play.

“There is a concern with how we are playing. It’s always been about what we are doing day-to-day. If you are doing things well day-to-day, you’ll move up in the standings and win games. If you are not doing things well day-to-day, the reverse will happen. We just have to be better.”

— Coach Mike Budenholzer

Bench differential

Let’s get this out of the way: this wasn’t an awful loss. It was a bad loss because it’s Atlanta’s fourth in a row but it wasn’t awful like the Portland loss on Saturday was awful. The Hawks played a very solid first quarter and they played an O.K. game, although things obviously got away from them in the third and fourth quarters. The effort was pretty decent, players were competing (channeling my inner coach Bud here), Dwight Howard was active early (and played well in general), the ball was moving pretty well and they did all of this without Paul Millsap and Kent Bazemore.

Because Baze and Millsap were missing the Hawks had to dip into their bench to, obviously, fill those voids left by Baze and Paul. And, unfortunately for the Hawks, the two players they had to insert into the starting lineup happened to be the team’s best bench scorers in Tim Hardaway Jr. and Ersan Ilyasova. And, as a result, the bench’s production really suffered: 22 total points (11 coming from Taurean Prince) on a combined 9-of-29 shooting. Well, to be fair, even these bench stats are inflated with the extended garbage time in the fourth quarter. Through the first three quarters, the Hawks’ bench only scored four points which all came from Taurean Prince on 1-of-7 shooting. Not ideal… In fact, Bud basically dropped all subs for the third quarter (when the game was still in range), only TP played third quarter minutes off the bench before dipping further into the bench in the fourth quarter as this game got away from the Hawks.

The Hornets’ bench, in comparison, was excellent last night. They scored 44 points on 16-of-32 from the field. Frank Kaminsky scored 14 points, Jeremy Lamb scored 12 points and Briante Weber (who Marvin Williams called an “energiser bunny”) scored eight points. Between the Hornets’ main bench rotation players (Kaminsky, Marco Belinelli, Briante Weber and Jeremy Lamb), they registered a plus/minus rating of plus-86. The Hawks’ main bench rotation players (Prince, Kris Humphries, Ryan Kelly and Malcolm Delaney), meanwhile registered a plus/minus rating of minus+56.

(Side note, not sure what the thinking process was for Bud not playing Mike Muscala until garbage time in the fourth quarter. He should be playing ahead of Ryan Kelly and Kris Humphries at all times…)

That was probably the difference between the two teams in this game — the bench (and, obviously, not having Millsap and Baze). It’s unfortunate but this was always a realistic possibility when it was reported that Ersan and THJ were going to be inserted into the starting lineup.

Two key Charlotte runs

There were two key runs that ultimately decided this game. The Hawks led 17-11 in the first quarter but a 20-4 run from the Hornets beginning in the latter stages of the first quarter and extending into the second quarter put them on the high-side, a lead they would never relinquish.

The other key run happened in the third quarter. The Hawks, to their credit, had done well to cut the Hornets lead to single digits at the half and even cut the lead to five points (55-61) with 8 minutes remaining in the third. Within four minutes the score was 74-57, a 13-3 Hornets run and it’s a completely different game.

“They made their run and we couldn’t respond. Not just offensively but defensively. They got way too many easy baskets. We were struggling with the pick-and-roll defenses. They have a stretch-5 and it’s a tough situation with our rotations. Everybody shoots 3’s. We have to figure it out and stick together.”

— Ersan Ilyasova

“That run was pretty big. The second half we were looking for a combination of guys to get back in it. We came out with a pretty good effort and spirit. Then they went on another run coming out of that timeout. Just searching for groups in the second half.”

— Coach Mike Budenholzer

You have to give Charlotte credit, they picked up their intensity in the second half and they found groups that worked and the Hawks didn’t.

“We started the game kind of slow. They took advantage of us, they came out aggressive. But with the second unit, we really picked up the energy.”

— Marvin Williams

Issues getting to the line

The Hawks are actually one of the better teams in the league getting to the free throw line ranking sixth with 25 free throw attempts per game. Last night was one of the Hawks’ worst night at the line this season, their 10 attempts ties a season-worst and their four makes also ties a season-worst.

Dwight Howard is not to blame for this. Dwight only got to the line twice and made one of those two. Without Paul Millsap, who gets to the line nearly six times a game, no one else really got to the line. Dennis Schröder only got to the line once and THJ didn’t get the free throw line at all.

Not that any of this really mattered in the end (since the Hawks lost by 15 in the end) but if this was a tight game this would’ve been a hot topic of discussion.

The Hornets are actually tied for first in the entire league when it comes to turnovers per game only committing 11.8 TO’s per game. And this was another good game for the Hornets in this department, the Hornets only committed seven turnovers and only one turnover through the first three quarters. As such, the Hawks only scored six points off of turnovers while the Hornets scored 17 points off of Atlanta’s 15 turnovers.

Again, not that this was a huge part of this game but all these things do add up.

Up next:

Things don’t get any easier for the Hawks (37-33), who jet off to Washington ahead of Wednesday’s match against the Washington Wizards.

There are so many ways we can dance, there is bound to be some modality that you would love. My choice is NIA dance, which isn’t available everywhere, but there are so many choices; 5 stages, folk dance, square dance, ballroom, swing, modern and jazz, zumba, soul-dance and new ones springing to life all the time.

In California especially there are tribes of like-minded people who get together and dance regularly. All you need is a big space, a dj and permission to move in any way your body would like. I think it all started with Gabrielle Roth in the 70’s at Esalen. She had been a ballerina and her body was suffering from that years later. But she ached to move in some way so she just started moving without any plan. She felt so much better that she started teaching others.

She found that when people were left alone to move to music they often went through five rythyms;

  • Flow – connecting with your own body by moving in any way that pleases you.
  • Staccato – expanding your dance into relationship with the space and the rythym.
  • Chaos – letting go of everything that no longer serves you, dancing wild.
  • Lyrical – After the drama of chaos, this is free, creative, playful, like a trance.
  • Stillness – being the dance until it drops away into stillness.

Each segment has very different music that is evocative of these feelings. I learned this at Esalen back then and have done it off and on ever since. It’s a perfect way to relearn how your body enjoys moving, at home alone or in a space with a few friends. You can buy a dvd to run you through it although you don’t do it to the dvd. Each person is doing their own dance.

NIA is a more choreographed dance form with a leader or teacher and many different routines. I love it because it takes my body into full range of motion and uses every possible movement that we don’t get in our daily lives. The choreography is more fun and more varied than I would do on my own and I don’t have to remember it. I just watch the leader and follow along. It generally has a free-dance segment in it for you to explore your own way of moving through the room and through the community. And you finish with floor play which is so wonderful! My body thinks I died and went to heaven!
I think it is impossible to do an hour of dance and not feel better, both physically and emotionally.

My mother loved ballroom dancing with a passion when she was young but my dad wouldn’t dance so she didn’t get to do what she loved. That was a sad thing. I never liked that kind of dance because I resist being led 😉

Even in yoga now there are many versions that do a flow from one asana to another that is a lot like dancing. For those of you who live in places that don’t have any dance classes close by you could try that.

Dance in Joy!

Solar Water Heating Meeting

Pender’s first Energy Action Day on November 12 was very well-attended and went amazingly!  Now as a follow-up, we’ve scheduled a Solar Water Heating Information Meeting for Tuesday, November 22, 2011 (see minutes).
Anyone is welcome to come receive and share info, including the 16 homeowners considering installations by Certified Installer James Smyth (before the March 31, 2012 rebate deadline), and those who are exploring various other options (such as do-it-yourself).  I have not yet received the additional price info from James Smyth, but will forward it when I do (to the group of 16 and others who ask me).  Also, some new Thermomax vacuum tube info has now been added to the Solar Water Heating references at
Note that every homeowner’s needs and costs will be different, including whether they require extra things like a new hot water tank.  Other cautions are to verify that you have enough sun, and to check with your insurer about any restrictions or premium impacts, with CRD Building Inspection about the required plumbing permit, and with your local Water Improvement District if you are part of one.
Note also that to be eligible for $1,750 of rebates for a solar water heating installation, you need to start with a home energy audit or evaluation, and the first step before that is to register with NRCan and get a CID number. It’s easy to do online at:
Then after the solar water heating system is installed, a second audit must be done before the March 31, 2012 rebate deadline.  All the good service providers will likely be booked long before that, so this is getting near your last chance to get on the train (especially if you’re not yet one of the 16 who’ve expressed interest to me).  If you want to jump in now, please tell me and I will send you more info, plus you should go first to  Thanks for being willing to consider something new!

5 Tips for Weaning Your Nighttime Nurser

Photo Credit

There is no denying it.

Having a baby that wakes up several times a night to nurse can be exhausting! You wake up the next day with the dark under-eye circles, the chronic yawning, and the ever-growing question:

Will my baby ever sleep through the night?
(A.K.A. Will I ever sleep through the night?)

Well he will! (And you will too!)

Here are some tips that will help your little one to get the comfort and nutrition he needs during the day so you can get the rest you need at night!

Tip #1: Understand where your child is developmentally.
It is important to know that babies who do not weigh at least 11 pounds will be unable to sleep through the night because they do not have enough mass on their bodies to maintain necessary calories overnight. They need the extra nourishment that comes through nighttime nursing. In addition, babies will show readiness signs for nighttime weaning, such as the ability to sleep for longer periods of time (about 10 hours) without waking.

Tip #2: Gradually decrease the length of nighttime feedings and increase the length between those feedings.
Start to gradually nurse your baby on each breast for a shorter period of time during nighttime feedings. If you fed baby for 10 minutes on each breast, try feeding for 5 minutes on each breast. Also try to increase the length between feedings by replacing some feedings with patting and comforting baby to sleep.

Tip #3: Nurse/Feed more during the day.
Try feeding baby every 2 hours instead of every 3 to make sure he gets more milk during the day. If your baby is old enough, make sure he eats enough solid foods during the day (especially at dinner) so you can be confident that night wakings are occurring more for comfort than for hunger.

Tip #4: Tank up before bedtime.
Nurse baby often in the hours leading up to bedtime. You could try nursing on just one breast during this time to ensure baby gets the higher fat milk that comes at the end of a feeding. Filling up on the higher fat milk will help baby sleep longer between feedings. You can also do what is called a "dream feeding" where you feed baby right before you go to bed, even if baby was already asleep. This way baby won't wake up only 1-2 hours after you go to bed (and you can get more sleep!)

Tip #5: Listen to your baby (and your intuition).
There is no exact science to weaning your nighttime nurser. Every baby is different, but you, as their parent, know them best! You can take these tips and use whatever ones you think will work best for you and your baby. If you try weaning your night time nurser and he cries inconsolably for two or more nights, try again in a couple weeks. Or if he seems to be more anxious or clingy during the day after you start weaning, try it again later. When in doubt, you can always contact us here at Help Me Grow. One of our care coordinators or our child life specialist would be happy to help you with your unique situation.

We hope these tips have been helpful. If you have any other questions, please feel free to comment! We would love to help.

Steering Knuckles

These are pictures of Non-Reinforced Knuckles:

nonrein knuckle knuckle3

Reinforced steering knuckles are recommended for increased stiffness and improved safety.   It is our reccomendation to replace the standard non-reinforced knuckles with the reinforced style. When the steering changed especially to power steering a lot of pressure is now put on the steering components. Large 35″ tires and the like put even more strees on the stock components. The later style  steering knucles are safer and stronger than the early ones.  Take a look at see which kind you have.  We have usede reinforced knucles available @ $20.00 ea

Hockey Hall of Fame - Stanley Cup Journals: 21
The Stanley Cup Journal

Three seasons with the Bruins and six with Montreal comprised a great NHL career for Ray Getliffe, who scored 136 goals and 137 assists in his 393 regular season games.
(Imperial Oil-Turofsky/HHOF)
Ninety-one year old Ray Getliffe enjoyed an outstanding 9-season NHL career, with highlights that include a career season of 28 goals and 53 points in 1943-44; a year in which Ray helped lead the Montreal Canadiens to both a first-place finish and to a Stanley Cup championship. But one of Getliffe's contributions, much less-heralded, will be recognized as long as the game of hockey is played.

Ray Getliffe was the person who nicknamed Maurice Richard 'The Rocket.'

"I was sitting on the bench during a practice with Murph Chamberlain and Phil Watson," Getliffe recalls. "(Elmer) Lach was on the ice with Richard and fed him a lovely pass. Richard got the puck and took off. I leaned over to Murph and said, 'Wow, Richard took off like a rocket!' Dink Carroll, he was a sportswriter with the (Montreal) Gazette, heard me and the next day in the paper wrote something about Richard skating like a rocket. It wasn't too long after that that Dink was using the nickname 'the Rocket' when he was writing about Maurice Richard."

Ray earned a Stanley Cup with Boston in 1938-39 but during Montreal's 1943-44 Stanley Cup season, contributed significantly by enjoying a career season in goals (28) and points (53). (Dave Sandford/HHOF)
Ray Getliffe was born in Galt, Ontario (now part of Cambridge) in 1914, but moved to London as a youngster. Just twenty years old when he moved down east to join the Charlottetown Abbies and Saint John St. Peters in 1934-35, his play was so impressive, he was signed by the New York Rangers. But Ray never played with the Rangers. He made his debut in the National Hockey League with the Boston Bruins, playing 1 game during the 1935-36 season after being sold to Boston by New York.

Getliffe became a full-time NHLer the next season and spent 3 complete seasons with the Bruins. In his final campaign in Boston, Ray won the first of his two Stanley Cup championships.

Before the next season, 1939-40, Getliffe was exchanged by Boston, along with Charlie Sands, for Herb Cain. It was a good trade for both teams, and Ray flourished in Montreal, proudly wearing the sweater of the Montreal Canadiens for six seasons. In fact, in September 1945, Montreal sent Getliffe and Roly Rossignol to the Detroit Red Wings for a prospect named Billy Reay. The thought of playing for any other team was reprehensible to Getliffe who decided to retire instead. Detroit received Fern Gauthier in Ray's place and Reay helped the Canadiens win a Stanley Cup championship that year.

The Stanley Cup met Ray Getliffe in London, Ontario, where he climbed aboard an antique firetruck to parade the Cup and its champion up Dundas Street through the downtown core. (Walt Neubrand/HHOF)
The Stanley Cup arrived in London on Friday, August 5 and was greeted at the Labatt Centre by Ray Getliffe, his daughter Dee and his granddaughter. Dee had only been three months old when her Dad won the Stanley Cup with the Canadiens in 1944. At 10:45, Ray was helped aboard a classic 1927 fire engine and, along with the Stanley Cup and two firefighters, drove up Dundas Street through the Forest City, waving to fans looking on from the sidewalk. A banner on the side of the antique vehicle told the story: Stanley Cup champion — Ray Getliffe.'

The firetruck took them to the Western Fair Sports Centre where Ray was greeted with old photos and memorabilia. Fans were invited to get their photos taken with Ray and the Stanley Cup or to get an autograph, and proceeds were split between the London Sports Hall of Fame, into which Ray Getliffe was inducted in 2004, and to Ray's high school, South Secondary. The high school, located in south-central London, meant a great deal to Getliffe, who upheld the school's motto: 'virtus repulsae nescia sordidae' ('courage will never know ignominious defeat').

Getliffe and the Stanley Cup greeted fans at the Western Fair Sports Centre, where Ray signed autographs and posed with Lord Stanley's mug. (Walt Neubrand/HHOF)
After 2:30, Ray took a brief rest, then at 4 pm, he and his wife Lorna joined the Stanley Cup at the London Hunt and Country Club where Ray is one of six lifetime members. At 91, Ray still golfs two to three times a week in spite of the fact he has been legally blind for the past two years. "I just love golf," Ray smiles. "I've been playing since 1933 and I've had tickets to the Masters since 1965."

While posing for pictures and signing autographs, Ray told stories dating back to his days in hockey. "It would be way too difficult to choose one player as the greatest I ever saw. 'The Rocket' was great, of course, and so many others come to mind, but the best defenseman I ever saw was Doug Harvey. He could do everything! If the game was going too fast, he'd slow it down, and if the game was too slow for his liking, he'd pick up the tempo. He really could control the pace of a game."

Getliffe chuckled as he recalled another of the greats he watched. "I was a referee for two seasons after I retired," he begins. "Used to referee ten to fifteen games a year, and often they'd have me do Toronto/Detroit games. I ran into Ted Lindsay not too long ago. I said to him, 'It's been a while, Ted. The last time I saw you, I tossed you for five at Maple Leaf Gardens!'"

Ray was very proud to be a National Hockey League player and even more proud to be a two-time Stanley Cup champion. "I made $5,000 a year playing hockey and you know what? I felt like a millionaire! The average factory worker was only making $1,800."

At 6:30, Getliffe's day with the Stanley Cup drew to a close and Ray and his bride of 70 years thanked everyone for coming, then made their way home.

Gaye Stewart began his NHL career with Toronto, but later enjoyed stints in Chicago, Detroit, New York and Montreal. Through 9 NHL seasons, James Gaye Stewart scored 185 goals and contributed 159 assists for 344 points in 502 regular season games. (Imperial Oil-Turofsky/HHOF)
82-year old Gaye Stewart played an interesting role in the greatest comeback in hockey history.

During the Stanley Cup final of 1941-42, the Toronto Maple Leafs were down three games to none against the Detroit Red Wings. When the Wings went up 2-0 by the ten-minute mark of the second period in Game 4, it looked like the end was near for Toronto. But the Maple Leafs came back and edged the Wings 4-3. Detroit coach Jack Adams was so livid, he attacked referee Mel Harwood, and was summarily prohibited from appearing behind the Red Wings' bench for the remainder of the series.

Leafs' coach Hap Day played a hunch. He sat veterans Gord Drillon and Bucko McDonald, replacing them with youngsters Don Metz, Hank Goldup and Gaye Stewart. Game 5 was a 9-3 spanking, with Toronto closing the gap three games to two and the rookie Stewart earning his first NHL activity. The Leafs evened the series with a 3-0 shutout in Game 6, with Gaye Stewart briefly replacing Sweeney Schriner when the veteran was cut on the nose by an errant stick courtesy of Detroit's Doug McCaig. In Game 7, Stewart was spotted the occasional shift in the third period and the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Red Wings 3-1 to win the Stanley Cup, battling back from the brink of elimination.

It was a whirlwind season for Gaye in 1941-42. Just 18 years old, Gaye spent the regular season with the junior Toronto Marlboros, was called up to play with the senior Marlies, joined the AHL's Hershey Bears for the end of their season plus playoffs then capped off the campaign with 3 games as a Toronto Maple Leaf, earning the right to have his name engraved on the Stanley Cup. (Dave Sandford/HHOF)
The 1941-42 season was quite an eye-opener for Gaye Stewart. Just eighteen years old, he finished his regular season with the Toronto Marlboros as a junior and was then asked to play for the senior Marlies. When that season was over, he joined the Hershey Bears for their playoff run in the American Hockey League. Then, as Toronto was floundering in the 1942 playoffs against Detroit., Gaye was asked to join the NHL's Maple Leafs for game five of the final, and finished off his season with three games as a member of the Stanley Cup-winning Toronto Maple Leafs.

After serving in the Canadian navy during the Second World War, Gaye Stewart re-joined the Maple Leafs and in 1946-47, was part of a second Stanley Cup championship when the Leafs defeated the Montreal Canadiens in six games to capture hockey's top prize again.

Although Gaye played parts of eleven seasons in the National Hockey League, wearing the sweaters of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, New York Rangers and Montreal Canadiens, he never again was able to sip champagne from the Stanley Cup.

Today, Gaye Stewart and his wife live in Burlington, Ontario, and welcomed the Stanley Cup on Sunday, August 8 at 11:30 that morning to The Wave Sports Centre, a 29,000 square foot sports facility that offers volleyball courts, a skating rink, fitness centre and a licensed restaurant. Gaye wanted the opportunity to meet the public and The Wave's owners Dale and Dave Conacher — part of the extended Conacher family of hockey glory — were only too pleased to offer Stewart the opportunity at their incredible facility.

For four-and-a-half hours, Gaye Stewart met fans, signed autographs and posed with the Stanley Cup.

The 82-year-old two-time Stanley Cup champion lifts Lord Stanley's legacy over his head in triumph during his day with the Cup in Burlington, Ontario.
(Philip Pritchard/HHOF)
Gaye showed fans both his Stanley Cup rings, awarded just a few years ago, and his All-Star ring from being named to the NHL's First Team in 1946. He spoke with great pride about another accomplishment. "I was awarded the Calder Trophy (for NHL rookie of the year) in 1943," Stewart stated. "Do you know who was runner-up that year? It was 'Rocket' Richard!"

Finally, Gaye got the opportunity he had never had before. He held the bowl of the Stanley Cup in one hand and gripped the base with the other, then gave the Stanley Cup a mighty hoist and raised the championship trophy over his head as fans cheered excitedly.

As Gaye sat beside the Stanley Cup, it was pointed out to him that although he had won the honour twice, on both occasions, his name was engraved incorrectly on the Cup. In 1941-42, the spelling read 'GAYE STEWARD.' In 1946-47, it was 'GAVE STEWART.'

The big defenseman spent 8 years fighting NHL battles and through 494 regular season games, scored 28 goals and 81 assists for 109 points. (Imperial Oil-Turofsky/HHOF)
Leo Reise Jr. came by his hockey abilities honestly — his Dad played eight years in the NHL during the 1920's. In fact, Leo Jr. was born in the Hamilton, Ontario suburb of Stoney Creek while his Dad was a member of the Hamilton Tigers.

After serving in the Second World War, Leo Reise Jr. entered the NHL as a Chicago Blackhawk, playing 6 games during the 1945-46 season. During his second season with the Hawks, Leo was traded to Detroit with Pete Horeck while Chicago received Adam Brown and Ray Powell.

The big defenseman had a terrific year in 1949-50, being selected for the NHL's Second All-Star Team. That season also brought Reise his first of two Stanley Cup championships.

Detroit blew past all competitors to finish the regular season in first place, but faced the reigning Stanley Cup champion Toronto Maple Leafs in the semi-final. Leo played well, and not only took a regular shift but played the blueline when the Wings were shorthanded. Game 1 saw Leo take a lot of abuse — Ted Kennedy was fingered for elbowing Leo early in the period and Gus Mortson tangled with Reise later that same period. Midway through the third, Gordie Howe was carried off the ice on a stretcher, and his mates vowed revenge. It didn't come in Game 1, a 5-0 loss for Detroit, but Game 2 was a different matter.

Leo scrapped with Toronto toughie Jim Thomson in the second period, cutting Jeems for five stitches and earning a major. Leo later highsticked Teeder Kennedy, the purported culprit who caused Howe's injury, and drew a minor. Detroit exacted revenge on the ice and on the scoreboard, dumping Toronto 3-1.

The Maple Leafs took Game 3 by a score of 2-0 but Game 4 was a fiercely close contest. At the end of regulation time, the rivals were even at a goal apiece. That score held after one full overtime period. Then, just 38 seconds into a second overtime, Leo flipped the puck towards Turk Broda in the Leaf net. The puck struck defenseman Gus Mortson and ricocheted in! Leo, a 4-goal scorer during the regular season, had won the crucial contest with his double overtime marker.

Although never a high-scoring defenseman, Reise scored 2 overtime game-winners during the 1949-50 semi-finals to fuel Detroit's path to the Stanley Cup. (Dave Sandford/HHOF)
Toronto won Game 5 2-0 but Game 6 was a 4-0 Red Wing win. It all came down to Game 7 for the two closely matched teams. Neither team could put the puck past the opponent's goalkeeper — Broda for the Leafs and Lumley for Detroit. One period. Two periods. Three periods. No score. Then, at 8:39 of the first overtime frame, clutch overtime hero Leo Reise came through again, scoring the only goal of the game — the winner that moved Detroit into the final against the New York Rangers!

In the final, Leo continued to play a strong, dependable game back on the blueline with 'Black Jack' Stewart. Although Leo didn't score again in that final series, he had established himself as one of the post-season heroes for the Red Wings. In 1949-50, he shared the honour with Pete Babando, who scored the winning goal in double overtime of Game 7 to capture the Stanley Cup for Detroit!

* * *

The Stanley Cup was driven up to the Wayne Gretzky Sports Centre in Brantford, Ontario and was met by a gentleman wearing a Detroit Red Wings sweater. There was no doubt that although the Telephone City is best known for one particular hockey player, on Monday, August 8, there was another champion celebrating Stanley Cup championships.

Leo Reise Jr. won a second championship in 1952 before finishing his career with the New York Rangers. He wanted to share his day with the Stanley Cup with as much of the public as he could. With his wife Geraldine standing beside him, the 83-year-old Reise signed autographs non-stop between 11:30 that morning and 2:30 in the afternoon. A large photo taken from the upper part of the arena had been carefully taken down and sat beside Leo. "My, look how handsome you were back then," sighed one lady. "I've still got it, don't I," Leo laughed.

The son of an NHLer, Leo Reise Jr. took the Stanley Cup to Ontario's Golden Horseshoe region, stopping in Brantford, Mount Hope and Ancaster. (Walt Neubrand/HHOF)
"My Dad was a heckuva hockey player, but playing for the New York Americans, he didn't get much of a chance to win a Stanley Cup," Leo shrugged. Leo Sr. played but 2 playoff games with the Americans; the only two the team played in the first ten seasons of their existence.

As Leo Jr. signed and posed for pictures, fans explored the wall of champions there at the Sports Centre. "Hey, was that you on a championship softball team," Leo was asked. "Yep! We won the provincial championship in the early forties," smiled Leo.

As Reise signed, he was frequently asked to name the best players he had ever seen. "Gee whiz, that's a hard question," pondered Leo. "'Rocket' Richard was a terror from the blueline in. One time, every one of the Red Wings on the ice took a run at him and he shook every one of us off and he still ended up with the puck in front of our net. Max Bentley and Edgar Laprade were excellent stickhandlers. They were so quick, darting in and out; they were just incredible. But I always admired Milt Schmidt of the Boston Bruins. He was great on offense and was very good at backchecking. He had a terrific shot and was an outstanding leader. I guess I'd have to say he was the best player I ever played against."

At 2:30, Leo and the Stanley Cup made the short drive to the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum, located a wristshot away from the Hamilton Airport. The media met Reise there and snapped photographs of the two-time champion with the Stanley Cup he had earned. Truth be told, Leo had never had his picture taken with the Stanley Cup until almost exactly a year ago, when he met with Jassen Cullimore of the Tampa Bay Lightning during Cullimore's day with the Cup on August 4, 2004 in Port Dover, Ontario.

Leo took the Stanley Cup to his Ancaster home to show the family. With the beautiful trophy sitting on the dining room table, Reise was especially pleased to be able to show the Stanley Cup to his granddaughter. She was expected to give birth that day but nature gave her one day reprieve so she got to see her Grandpa's trophy after all. When the baby arrived afterwards, Leo was proud to tell any and all about the birth of his first great-grandchild!

John 'Goose' McCormack played 311 regular season contests spread between Toronto, Montreal and Chicago, scoring 25 goals and 49 assists for 74 points. (Fitzsimmons/HHOF)
The Toronto hockey community had circled Tuesday, August 9 on their calendars weeks before. It was the day John McCormack was to celebrate his day with the Stanley Cup, and he decided he wanted to share it with all of his friends involved with the NHL Oldtimers.

1950-51 was the best of times and the worst of times for the player friends and many fans know as 'Goose.' After cups of coffee with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1947-48 and 1948-49, McCormack became more or less a regular in 1949-50 and '50-51. It was during the latter season that 'Goose' McCormack was part of his only Stanley Cup championship as a Maple Leaf. Although he played 46 games with Toronto, McCormack was exiled to Pittsburgh during the season by Leafs manager, Conn Smythe. "I guess it must be because I got married without first talking it over with Leafs management," shrugs McCormack, who married Margaret Gordon on January 31, 1951. "I wasn't even aware that that wasn't normal."

"I was playing with Pittsburgh and we were in Cleveland that night. We lost that night and they (Toronto) won that night with Billy (Barilko) scoring the goal.

Although getting married during the season had earned McCormack exile to Pittsburgh, the Toronto Maple Leafs acknowledged John's contributions through the season by including his name on the Stanley Cup in 1950-51.
(Dave Sandford/HHOF)
I was very pleased for him." Although 'Goose' wasn't on the ice with his former teammates that night, having played most of the season with the Maple Leafs, the name 'John McCormack' is engraved on the Stanley Cup. But John never played with the Maple Leafs again. He was sold to the archrival Montreal Canadiens the next season and in 1952-53, won a second Stanley Cup championship, this time with Montreal. Johnny finished his NHL career as a Blackhawk in Chicago in 1954-55.

* * *

Johnny 'Goose' McCormack welcomed the Stanley Cup to his Oshawa, Ontario home on Tuesday, August 8. Beginning at 11:30 that morning, close family members arrived and then by noon, guests started showing up. By 2:00 that afternoon, the McCormack home was a who's who of hockey history, with visitors enjoying prime rib, potatoes and vegetables, then slicing into delicious cakes afterwards. It was a two-pronged party for McCormack — he was reliving his Stanley Cup championships but it was also a belated birthday bash. On August 2, Johnny 'Goose' McCormack had turned 80 years old.

More than 100 friends arrived at John's Oshawa, Ontario home to help celebrate his 80th birthday and the return of the Stanley Cup to this two-time champion!
(Walt Neubrand/HHOF)
There to help celebrate was a hockey sock full of friends — Bob Attersley of the senior Whitby Dunlops, Bob Beckett who played with the Boston Bruins, Pete Conacher of Chicago, New York and Toronto, Bob Hassard of the Leafs and Hawks, the Bruins' Murray Henderson, Ron Hurst of the Leafs, defenseman Ivan Irwin of the Canadiens and Rangers, Danny Lewicki of Toronto, New York and Chicago, Ed Litzenberger of the Canadiens, Hawks, Wings and Leafs, Howie Menard of Detroit, L.A., Chicago and Oakland, Boston, Toronto, Detroit, New York and Pittsburgh's Jim Morrison, Wally Stanowski of the Leafs and Rangers and Red Sullivan from Boston, Chicago and New York Boston. Hall of Fame broadcaster Brian McFarlane regaled friends with stories. Bert Conacher, brother of the Hall of Fame trio of Lionel, Charlie and Roy was mingling as were Jimmy Thomson's wife June and both Bill Barilko's sister Anne Klisanich and Louise Hastings, the girlfriend Bill left behind when he was killed in 1951.

It was a superb afternoon and a most enjoyable way for the Toronto-area hockey community to get the opportunity to relive past glories.

My 12 year old is dying to model for somebody...

Here are just a few candid shots. It's hard to get pics of her not being a goofball. If I told her it was serious she would cooperate

I just got my first real embroidery/sewing machine. It is a singer SE1000 and I got an amazing deal. This lady got it as a Christmas gift does not like the sew so she never even opened the package. I am crazy excited.

What is historical-data.org?

This site defines a collection of schemas (applied in the form of HTML tags) that webmasters can use to markup their historical and genealogical information in a consistent way.

Many sites are generated from structured data, which is often stored in databases. When this data is formatted into HTML, it becomes very difficult to recover the original structured data. Many applications, especially search engines, can benefit greatly from direct access to this structured data. On-page markup enables search engines to understand the information on web pages and provide richer search results in order to make it easier for users to find relevant information on the web. Markup can also enable new tools and applications that make use of the structure.

Project Scope

The scope of this project is limited to defining the schemas for historical and genealogical microdata that is designed primarily to enable search engines, web crawlers, browsers, and other tools for enabling users to find and understand the historical data contained on an HTML page. As such, the schemas defined by this project are designed to be lightweight and generic and are not designed to support all of the intricacies of a rich research model that supports in-depth semantic analysis and sophisticated bibliographic accountability.

Date Note

Schema.org, Microformats, and Microdata all rely on the ISO 8601 date format, which does not support approximate dates. Review the Library of Congress's Extended Date and Time Format, which extends ISO 8601 and allows uncertain and approximate dates.

Updates (via our blog)

Stay tuned for updates to the schema and other announcements by subscribing to our blog: historical-data-schema.blogspot.com

Sick Angel Baby

Angel Baby has had a cold off and on for a couple of weeks now.  She's been so stopped up this week that she couldn't sleep.  When she'd lay down to try to sleep the coughing and hacking would start.  She needed to get some sleep.  I needed to get some sleep.

Our oldest always has loved Johnson's Baby Soothing Vapor Cream.  I can slather it all over her chest and back and she will sleep like a baby.  Well of course Angel Baby can't stand the cream.  She says it makes her sticky and just pitches a fit when I try to put it on her.  I was at Walgreens buying some more refills for the Vicks vapor plug-ins (LOVE those!  I think I have 8--one for every room!) and I happened upon these TheraFlu vapor patches.

They stick to your clothes and last about 6 hrs (it claims 8hrs but I haven't noticed it working that long.) It works long enough to allow her to fall good and asleep at night before it wears off. She's worn one the past 3 nights and it's really helped. She asked for her patch before bed tonight!  (Hubby told me it sounds like I'm putting one of those stop-smoking patches on her.)  I think the packaging technically says for ages 6 and up and Angel Baby is 4 but when dealing with a sick child you have to improvise and try anything.  She may not be their target demographic but all I know is it works.  It helps her breathe so she can sleep and as a by product I get sleep too! yea!  I saw online that they make Puffs Plus with Vicks in them too but I haven't found them in any stores yet.

Vintage machinery roars to life for special guests

IT was a treasure trove of vintage engines at the Hobart Vintage Machinery Society (HVMS) shed recently when it threw open its doors to welcome clients from Oak Enterprises.

Treating guests to a special look at the workshop, the tour featured a range of operating vintage machines including a cooper-shearing engine, a 1926 international stationary engine, a 1927 Lister petrol engine and a recently refurbished “fergie” tractor.

“We scheduled the visit for a day when members would be in the workshop, so they could walk our guests through their many ongoing projects,” HVMS vice-president Phil Brooke said.

“One of our members even fired up a little steam engine to demonstrate how steam engines worked.

“The Oak Enterprises clients were very impressed and one even mentioned how enthralled he was by all the lawnmowers we had on display.”

Mr Brooke said the visit was part of the society’s agenda to support local groups.

“This activity followed on from our last venture where we delivered 500 bales of hay to Riding for Disability Kalang,” he said.

“We have had a shed on the Hobart Showgrounds for many years now, but there are a lot of people who don’t even know that we exist.

“We hope that through our support of local groups, we can both support our community and let people know that we’re here.”

HVMS club members meet at their shed on the first and third Wednesday of each month.

Members work on the restoration of old machinery and farm equipment and welcome anyone with similar interests.

5 Mistakes Sellers Make

Yes, it is absolutely a seller’s market and has been for a while.  Nonetheless, sellers still make mistakes.

Not Decluttering / Depersonalizing

How you live in your home is not how you sell it.  First of all, if your property is tenant occupied, your best bet is usually to have the tenants vacate and then clean and paint before you even think of selling.  Some staging is always a good idea and can be done quite reasonably.  If you live in the property, you should pack up all your personal memorabilia and put it in storage. Closets often need some work and most sellers with small children need to eliminate a bunch of clutter.  Most homes in our market show like model homes.  If you’re does not, you won’t get the interest or the price you otherwise might.

Not Being Prepared

When you’re selling a condo, it’s vitally important to have your association info organized and ready.  The buyer is going to ask for financials.  Does your association have reserves?  Does it have a budget?  Is 10% of your annual operating expenses allocated as a line item in the budget to be used to replenish reserves?  Who is the management company contact? How much is in reserves? Do you have board meeting minutes?  Is a copy of your Master Deed and By-laws ready to be handed over?  You don’t want to wait until you are in Attorney Review to find all this out.

Not Knowing Where you are Moving to or Having a Plan.

Things sell so quickly, sellers need to have an idea of where their next home will be once they sell.  Perhaps you plan to rent for a while.  Will the landlord give you any flexibility should you then decide to buy?  If you are buying, have you asked your realtor to find you the absolute best agent in the neighborhood you’re thinking of moving to next?  What will you do if your closing is delayed?  There are lots of moving pieces that must be coordinated and advance planning will help the transition be a smooth one.

Not Pricing Right

Pricing a home to sell for the most money possible in the fastest time possible is an art, not a science.  There are a range of acceptable prices for every property but there is also a relationship between price and views.  The lower the price, the more views, the more visits, the more likely you are to get an offer and even multiple offers.  It’s common today for smart agents to recommend prices lower on the range to drive traffic and then let the multiple buyers bid up the sales price.  But remember, in addition to price, a seller should consider downpayment amount, what lender the buyer is using, if the lawyer is local and much more.

Just a few quick thoughts but real issues that make a difference in the success of your sale.  Give us a call at 201 993 9500 to discuss at length how we can help you sell your property.  There is a lot more knowledge and experience to share!

Memo to Canucks about tonight

  • Don't give Jarome Iginla, Alex Tanguay, and Daymond Langkow any room. The Flames have played 5 games since December 1st, won 4 of them, and scored 17 goals in the process. So much for the goal-scoring drought in Calgary. One or all of the Iginla, Tanguay and Langkow combo have recorded a point in 13 of those 17 goals scored (76%). They have a combined 25 points in those 5 games. So, shut down those 3, and you'll win.
  • Keep up the energy from the last game you played against Phoenix, with all lines rolling, clicking, and skating hard.
  • Emphasis on the skating hard part. Last time you played the Flames, they out-worked you and you took 6 penalties in the 1st period, taking yourselves out of it early. The Flames scored 2 PP goals on those opportunities.
  • Bobby Lu, you got pulled after 29 minutes last time against the Flames when the score was 4-1. Please PLEASE play a solid 60 minutes, even if it wasn't all your fault.

Atlanta acquires Zhitnik

From TSN: The Thrashers have sent defensive prospect Braydon Coburn to the Flyers in return for Alexei Zhitnik.

"Braydon is a player who we have liked since his draft year (2003) and the chance to acquire him just came up a few days ago," said Flyers GM Paul Holmgren. "He is a big, young defenseman that skates very well. He will fit in nicely with our young group."
Coburn is a towering presence at 6'5" and 220 pounds. He had 4 points in 29 games this season with Atlanta.
Zhitnik, however has 1001 games of NHL experience. He has 448 points and 1194 PIM. The Thrashers are trying to get keep their playoff spot, even though they are at huge risk of missing the postseason with a terrible record in recent weeks. I'm not sure Zhitnik will stop the slide, but he will provide a booming shot from the point and a great physical presence.

Fabuleaux is an exciting new stallion for the US Hanoverian mare base. Owned by Dr. Barbara Schmidt, Bridlewood Farm, KY, Fabuleaux is by the versatile sire Fabriano out of SPS Auguste (Augustinus xx / Absatz). SPS Auguste is the queen of her owner's farm in Germany. Their web site is well worth a visit. From their front page navigate to the English version and then read about Fabuleaux's illustrious mother line and of Fabuleaux's four full siblings.

Fabuleaux stands 16.3 hands. At his testing in Adelheidsdorf he made a score of 130 plus points in the dressage portion, with scores of 9 for walk, trot, temperament, willingness to work and a 10 for his canter.

His sire Fabriano is well respected as a sire of excellent riding horses, with many licensed sons, SPS daughters and highly priced auction horses. He won his testing in 1990, also winning the Jumping portion of the testing and coming 4th of 36 in dressage. His breeding indexes are very strong as well as versatile with dressage and jumping indexes in the well above average range.

We bred Fabuleaux to SPS Blanche A for a 2005 foal. We were rewarded with the lovely bay filly Fabulessa, who sold at the age of three weeks. Tragically, we lost that filly July 8th to an unknown central nervous system trauma. Rubizza was been bred to Fabuleux for a May 2007 foal and the result was Fantastica — a wonder of a filly. Fantastica sold in 2009 and will be pointed toward dressage and the FEI Young Horse classes. We bred Rubizza back again for another Fabuleux foal in 2011 and got Fable, a handsome dark bay colt.

Latest Update August 18, 2013
