UK - Birmingham

Assalammualaikum w.r.t

First entry di tahun 2015 huh?? orang lain busy dengan anak, laki bagai but for me, work, friends, travel are everything at this moment. And for this very first entry for 2015, i would like to share my experience when i travel to Birmingham, UK last February. That was such a memorable experience and from that, i knew i can survive alone somewhere in this world.

On last February, i got a message from my superior that i need to travel to UK for my work and you now what? i need to go there ALONE!. Hanya Allah je yang tahu dup dap dup dap dalam hati. Hoi mana pernah aku travel oversea sorang sorang. Cuak dia hanya Allah aje yang tahu. But, my company did not force me to go, they just want to give me this opportunity which is no where i can ever grab. So, here is my checklist when you need to travel alone and the place that you're assign to go is not somewhere in Malaysia. Which is when you have to travel to oversea, alone.

1. Weather. What i mean is, the current weather over there. At that time, UK was in a cold weather (winter). A week before i travel, Birmingham was caught in a snow. The temperature was around -1 to 0 Deg C.

2. Outfit. Please go shop the suitable outfit that you will wear during your trip. Of course when you travel during winter, you need to buy a lot of warm clothes such as long john, heat Tech (buy from Uniqlo), winter jacket, glove, socks, mafla, and suitable shoes.

3. Research. Please do some research for the place that you want to go. This is important as you might loss and end up in a panic situation. And, jangan malu bertanya. Orang tua tua cakap, malu bertanya sesat jalan. Cakap orang tua tua ni memang betol, tak percaya, cuba.

4. Believe in yourself. This is the most important point after all. If you're not believing yourself, then you can't survive alone.

Sambungan cerita ke Birmingham kat atas tadi.

After my boss's wife booked the flight ticket, nervous dia makin menjadi jadi. Excited cuma sebesar kuman, tapi nervous jadi sebesar gajah. Berulang kali dalam hati "boleh ke ni pergi sorang? takde orang nak culik ke nanti?". Thousands of questions appeared in mind.

Even my mom sendiri tak percaya when i told her that i want to go to UK. At first, she does not allowed me to go there alone. She asked me to bring my friend, Dalilah to go with me. But, i said no this is a work matter, and i need to go alone. The best thing of my mom is, even dia takut nak lepas but at the end of the day, she knows that she can't do anything about it. So, dia cuma boleh kasi restu kat anak dia.

So, i got my mom's blessed. Then i kept on asked everybody around me " nanti kalau transit tu macam mana eh? nak ikut ke mana? luggage pulak macam mana? macam mana kalau tertinggal flight?" Haaaa kauuu, banyak giler soalan. Cuak derrr.

FYI, i was transited to Paris on the way to Birmingham and transited to Amsterdam when on the way back to Malaysia. Guaa tak pernah naik flight besar besar main main transit macam ni woih. Paling jauh pernah pergi Kota Kinabalu aje.

On that day, my flight to Paris Charles de Guelle was at 11.30pm. Ditemani oleh sahabat baik dunia akhiratkuu, Dalilah bergeraklah kitorang ke airport. About 1 and a half hour before departed, i asked Dalilah to go back home. So now, my journey started.

Alhamdullilah, masa dekat balai menunggu before naik flight i got a new friend. She also will be going to Birm and we are on the same plane. That was her first time to travel alone also.Hai Satwinn (i know you will not read this, but i still want to put your name in this entry).

Dalam flight pulak, jumpa sorang akak melayu ni. Disebabkan aku yang peramah bertegur sapa, so akak tu pon friendly dengan aku. Her final destination was Spain. So she was transited to Paris and took another domestic flight to Spain. Masa dia cakap dia nak ke Spain tu, aku dah ternganga mulut dengar. dah macam kampung dia aje bila dia cakap nak ke Spain.

After 14 hours di udara, finally we have landed safely in Paris. Lepas keluar aje pintu kapal terbang tu, dah dapat rasa sejuk mencucuk sampai ke tulang. The first ever sejuk melampau macam tu pernah rasa dalam hidup. Lepastu buat buat hembus angin, keluar asap!!! jakut satt.

Then, after Kastam France tu check our passport, berkejaran pulak kitorang ke connecting flight to Birmingham. After check screen besar nak tengok gate number yang hendak dituju, terus masuk ke kawasan kastam untuk diperiksa. For those yang bawak laptop, sila buang bateri laptop tu siap siap. And, one more thing, kasut yang dipakai biarlah jangan yang bertali. Susah woihh nak pakai buang. Kastam negara luar tak macam Malaysia. Sangat ketat. Pemeriksaan yang sangat teliti.

Sewaktu menunggu my connecting flight to Birmingham, i saw the snow outside the waiting area. I try to record a video but can't see the snow sebab masa tu gelap lagi kat luar. So, after 1 and a half hour, i safely arrived at Birmingham. Luckily, i got someone to pick me up at the airport.

End of story.

Banyak bendalah yang aku belajar masa travel sorang sorang ni. Belajar berdikari dan berani. Even dengan size yang tak cukup ketinggian ni, berjaya jugak menjejakkan kaki di bumi Eropah yang orang dok bangga bangga sangat. Even mat salleh sana jumpa aku pon terkejut aku berani datang situ sorang sorang. Lepas that first travel, dah mula mengumpul angan angan dan duit untuk ke sana lagi.
And for next time, not for work but for a vacation. In sha Allah.

Redesign: Make it Bad, Then Make it Better

From: Carrie Jeruzal

Just like great art, great art education is often inspired by personal experiences. But, not always in the way one might expect….

A couple of years ago my oldest daughter’s class was holding a bake sale during a community event as a fundraiser for a field trip. I don’t have much confidence or experience in baking so I thought this one “treat recipe” that I found online would be cute, easy and perfect for a busy mom like me. Well, it wasn’t so easy and I messed it up terribly. Turns out candy kisses look the same slightly melted as they do burnt and one should not let them stay in the oven, “just a little bit longer!”

So I took a deep breath, ate some burnt chocolate, regained my strength and senses and decided to persist by getting creative with my odd sense of humor. So, tongue-in-cheek, I created a new recipe embracing the struggle. I called it,

Mommy Can't Bake Mix

Step 1: Wait till the last minute to make baked goods for your daughter's bake sale. Go to the store at night when most of the other crazies and overworked moms are out. Step 2: Look up easy recipe on phone that literally requires two minutes of baking time. Step 3: Screw up baking and throw tantrum / blame husband for no reason. Step 4: Pout for a minimum of 5 minutes. Step 5: Think to self, "Failure is Impossible,"- Susan B Anthony. Step 6: Throw failed ingredients into a bag anyway along with random treats found in cupboard like pretzels, m&ms, crackers, marshmallows, croutons, cough drops, glitter, etc. Step 7: Get computer genius husband to make cute labels. Step 8: Put it on social media like a legit baking mom would. The end.

If these treats were going to be bad, I was going to make them really bad. It became fun and funny. They became a novelty. I hoped people would buy them, not for the “treat” that was inside, but for the clever concept behind them. I ended up selling 5 bags! Turns out homemade brownies taste and sell better than clever concepts, however, I still counted success points in creativity!

So, what did I learn from this “lemons to lemonade” moment, and how did I apply it to art education? I learned that when the objective of a problem becomes to make something really bad, the doors of humor and creativity become wide open. That’s where I got the idea for my middle school “Redesign” learning unit.

I start by introducing my students to the concept of object/product design, design thinking and the design process. We look at examples of everyday objects and talk about the differences between good design and bad design depending on factors such as the object’s intended use, intended customer, cost of materials, durability, demand, etc. All students share a story of a time when a product broke or failed. We also look at and describe the evolution of a product’s  design such as a car, the telephone and the vacuum cleaner. Students get concrete examples as to how visual arts have inherent relationships to everyday life through these product designs. Then it’s time for students to engage in a 2-4 day performance task.

I start the task by asking students to all select a different everyday-manmade-designed-object by having them cut one out of a magazine ad. I have also modified the task by asking all students to start with the same object such as a shoe. I have instructed students both ways and by settling on one object for everyone to focus on I do sacrifice the variety of outcomes, but I also save on time and the need for cutting and pasting materials. Either way, once the object is selected students are asked to reflect upon and explain the current relationship of the object to everyday life.

Then begins the fun part. Instruct students to make it bad. Invite them to redesign the product so that it is truly terrible by transforming it into something impractical, unappealing, and/or harder to use. In order to do this, the student must recognize the object’s intended use and successful design attributes and design against them. I tell my students that as long as their ideas are school appropriate, (no potty humor, nothing mean spirited or overly violent), that there are no limits to their creativity! At first some of my more regimented students don’t quite understand me, they don’t believe that I’m actually telling them to make something bad. I have to clarify that they are exercising their creativity in a new way by thinking about a design problem from a fresh perspective. By exploring what makes something really bad, you in turn are also open to exploring its opposite design, what might make it really good.  Then lightbulbs. Then students sketch truly creative results that they can’t wait to share with the class.

One of my favorites created by a 6th grade girl was a design that we quickly knick-named, “Shark Shoes.” What would make a pair of shoes the most uncomfortable shoes ever? Well, the answer is tiny sharks swimming in the bottom of your shoes that would bite your toes all day, of course!  Pair that with slippery seaweed soles and fish hook laces for added discomfort and you have a terribly creative design!

Students overwhelmingly enjoy this part of the process. They will fly around the room to share their ideas with everyone and anyone, each trying to one-up the others. It’s like I’m giving them permission to be silly and a little naughty and they love it! They reflect on their design through this verbal exchange and then in writing.

Then the next day the instructions flip. Students are asked to reimagine the design of their object to be even better than the current design. They must solve the problem of how to improve it. Again, there are no restraints to their creativity and they must reflect upon their design once it is complete. Below is a “good design” for a shoe that can not only adjust the temperature of your feet cooler or warmer depending on comfort zone required, but can emit four different pleasant fragrances including lavender and grape fizz from a secret compartment in the heel.

In conclusion, instructing to develop student creativity doesn’t always take a safe and expected path. Just like in real life, approaching a problem from a fresh point of view can open our minds and force us to think in new and interesting ways. Design problems can be fun and silly. Our best ideas sometimes arise from our failures when we give ourselves and our students the opportunity to flip the measure of success.

This task is one that I wrote for the Michigan Arts Education and Instruction and Assessment (MAEIA) project. Here are links to the complete task booklets available on the MAEIA website.

Tips On Preventing Children Abduction and Kidnapping

Unread post by Kunle Emmanuel » Fri May 16, 2014 10:28 am

1. Teach your children to run away from danger, never towards it. Danger is anyone or anything that invades their personal space. Teach them to yell loudly. Their safety is more important than being polite. Teach your children that if they are ever followed by a car to turn around and run the other direction to you or a trusted adult.

2. Never let your children go places alone, and always supervise your young children or make sure there is a trusted adult present to supervise them if you cannon. Make sure your older children always take a friend when they go somewhere. Do not leave children alone in the playground.

3. At all times know where and who your children are with. Remind children never to take anything or respond in any way if approached by someone they do not know. Teach them to run away as quickly as they can to you or a trusted adult.

4. Talk openly to your children about safety and encourage them to tell you or a trusted adult if anyone or anything makes them feel frightened, confused, or uncomfortable. Discuss security issues with your children so that they will understand the need for precautions. Advise your older children about steps they can take to help safeguard themselves. Know your children's friends and their families. Pay attention to your children and listen to them. If you do not, there is always someone else who will.

5. Practice what you teach by creating "what if" scenarios with your children to make sure they understand the safety message and can use it in a real situation.

6. Consider installing an alarm system in your home with a monitoring feature. Make sure your home is secured with deadbolt locks, and ensure that landscaping around it does not provide places for people to hide. Check other access points, such as gates, and make sure they have been secured. Consider installing exterior lighting around your home. Make sure that your home is fully secured before you go to sleep, and items such as ladders have been securely stored inside. Prepare a plan to vacate your home in case of any emergency. This should include but is not limited to a fire. Have a plan if an intruder tries or gets into your home.

7. Make your children part of securing your home. If you have installed an alarm system, demonstrate it to your children and show them how to make certain that doors and windows are locked. This will not only help calm their fears but will also help make them part of your "safety plan" at home.

8. Have a list of family members who could be contacted in case of an emergency. Designate a family member or close associate who would be able to fill the role of advisor in case of an emergency.

9. Be alert to and aware of your surroundings. Know the "escape routes" and plan what you would do in different emergencies. Practice "what if" scenarios, so you will be well prepared. Know the location of local hospitals and best routes to reach them. Know how to reach the nearest local law-enforcement agency.

10. Know your employees and coworkers. Do background screening and reference checks on everyone who works at your home, particularly those individuals who care for your children, electricians, etc. Their knowledge of your family is extensive so make sure that you have an equivalent understanding of who they are.

11. Consider varying your daily routines and habits. Do not take the same routes or go at the same time on your regular errands. If you take your children to school change that route as well.

12. Take steps to secure personal information about you. Consider getting a post office box and a safety deposit box. Have your personal bills sent to your place of work or the post office box. Be discreet about your possessions and family’s personal habits and information.

13. Report any suspicious persons or activities to law enforcement. If you feel that you or your children have been targeted or are being stalked, report this information to law-enforcement authorities immediately. DO NOT WAIT.

14. Remember that you are your best resource for better safeguarding your family. Do not become complacent about personal security issues.

Re: Tips On Preventing Children Abduction and Kidnapping

Unread post by Joanne Wright » Wed Jun 07, 2017 10:31 am

Parents need to teach these stuff to their children at early age and it should be taught to them strictly as most of the children according to UK Dissertation are abducted by kidnappers because they offer something to kid like candies, ice cream etc and once they approach for it they kidnap them so we need to team them never to take anything from any stranger. A social awareness should also be spread on this topic.

But that's not me at all.

I was going to take a quiz called 'Uniquely you' (because I secretly love quizzes and not so secretly love anything that's all about me) and then the page loaded. They wanted me to order a series of phrases from most like me to least like me. I can do that, it's not difficult. However, these are the phrases: Always smiling, Good listener, Generous, Cares about others, Always calls people back, Believes in true love, Truthful, Reliable, Funny, and Helpful. Oh dear. Whoever this person is she is not me and I don't think we'd get along at all well. I'd probably make her cry. A lot.

Today I went to the Dr. It was a much-needed thing. Yesterday, my boss sent me home from work because I was obviously not supposed to be there. I came home and slept for about four hours. This was a good thing because last night, like most nights for the past month, I woke up breathless constantly. Now I can see people who know and love me shaking their heads at this point because there is no reason I shouldn’t have been to the Dr. months ago. They are right. I should have gone to the Dr. months ago. However, I was poor (because my work is charging me double for insurance because they forgot to take it out of my check for about nice months) so I couldn’t afford the Dr. Isn’t it funny that my insurance payments made me not able to go to the Dr? I see the humor. Anyway, I finally made up my mind to see the Dr.

I couldn’t see the Dr. before today because I had to change my medical group on my insurance. The people they had me set up for were so far from my work and house that I would have died on the way there. Well, not literally, but it would have been a real huge pain in my ass. I swear I didn’t sign myself up for these people. I signed myself up for someone closer. In fact, I think I signed myself up for the Dr. I ended up going to see. So, the new medical group wouldn’t take effect until the first, today, so I made my appointment for today. I was looking forward to going to see the Dr. like a kid on Christmas morning.

When I woke up this morning (or should I say got out of bed since I had been in and out of a wheeze filled sleep for the past four hours) I was so excited. I went to the front room to check the weather and noticed outside that the trees seemed to be covered in white. I looked out the window and everything was covered in white. It had snowed, a lot. I dug out my winter coat and some gloves (the scarf and hat had been out for some time) and trudged off to work. See I had to go to work to print out the temporary medical card with the new medical group number on it for the Dr (but work is 2 blocks from the Dr. so it is ok). I thought my appointment was at 10:30 but as I was walking to the train I remembered it wasn’t until 11:30. That was ok though, I could be at work for a little longer and no one would be hurt. The train was real slow. You would think that Chicago would be used to snow and it wouldn’t slow things as much as it does but, not so much.

When I got to work at 10:45 (good think my appt wasn’t at 10:30) I got to printing out my medical card. Then, the Dr. office calls me and says the Dr. is at the hospital and not her office and isn’t sure how long it will take her to get to the office because of the weather and would I mind rescheduling my appointment for Monday. I politely told them that I really needed to see the Dr. today and thought there was a chance I would be in the hospital before Monday if I didn’t get some prednisone stat. I mentioned that if the Dr. would write me prescription for prednisone and a preventative inhaler like advair I would be happy to pick those up and come in on Monday. As I expected, that was not an option. They called me back a while later and said the Dr. would be there as soon as she could. I said thanks and left the office.

My new Dr. is great. First of all, her name is Farah Khan. Maybe I am very easily amused but that name (and the fact that her office is two blocks from my work) was a big reason I picked her. It is also the reason that I think I picked her before and why I remembered that I should have had her all along. She is also really pretty. I like pretty people. They make me more comfortable. She is also relatively young. She isn’t so young that you think she should be out of med school a few more years before touching you but young enough that you can be open and honest and not feel like you are talking to a parent. Not that I am not open and honest with my parents but you know. Dr. Khan took one listen to my chest and was like “Damn, girl you can’t breathe at all” (but more professionally) and gave me advair and prednisone. Told you. I am going back to see her on Wednesday next week for a follow up and more thorough check-up. I won’t die now.

Let's celebrate my life with music stuffs.

1. The lights are off again, she took me by surprise. She’s so sensitive, shit just happens sometimes.

2. There’ll be no darkness tonight lady our love will shine lighting the night.

3. Everybody’s looking at me. Feeling paranoid inside. When I step outside I’ll feel free. Think I’ll find a place to hid.

4. Downtown my darling dime store thief, in the war of independence rock-n-roll rang sweet as victory

5. Jacques Lamure is a volunteer fireman. He longs to give his life saving a nice old man and his wife.

Always- Thanks for your kind words, I'm on the road to recovery.

Debojit- I'm not much on self-help stuff but some of my readers may be and your site seems pretty good so I'll put a link up.

csg- I was not so happy about the snow. I like it ok and all but I would prefer for it t osnow only when I am inside and don't have to do anything.

shadow- Yeah my GP situation was pretty silly. Much of it was my own stupid fault but it was still a pain in the ass.

Mom said...

Didn't get to catch up on your blog until today (Monday). As previously discussed, so-so-so glad you went to the Dr! You and Monica and your "almost dead but saw the Dr instead" blog entries...! I hope you won't ever die again. Monica too.

Catholic Education

Step in a process of faith initiation

From hazing in a fraternity, to high jinks when a sailor first crosses the equator, to vision quests in native societies, most groups have some initiation or rites of passage, especially for the young. In the Jewish tradition, the bar and bat mitzvah marks the time when a young boy or girl is recognized as an adult. The Jewish child attends classes in Jewish customs, beliefs, history and a little of the Hebrew language, then recites blessings from the Torah, followed by a party.

In the Catholic tradition, the closest thing to an official rite of passage offered to the young is the sacrament of confirmation, probably the most misunderstood of the seven sacraments. The confirmation “identity crisis” comes from two diverse views of its fundamental role. Some see confirmation as a sacrament in which a person becomes “an adult in the church.” Others see it as a sacrament of initiation into the church.

Three of the seven sacraments are named initiation sacraments: baptism, confirmation and Eucharist. The church views these sacraments as intricately bound together, even though they are received at different intervals in our lives. With origins in early Christianity, the different ways and means of celebrating these sacraments evolved in the Western church over the centuries. At first, adults initiated into the church received all three sacraments at the same event. Eucharist was considered to be the culmination of the initiation rite. Over time, baptism became associated with infancy; and the other two sacraments were separated to later in the life of the child in order to provide for instruction and formation in the faith.

Outpouring of the Spirit

In the early church the bishop played a central role in these sacraments, according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Community membership was small, so the bishop was able to welcome each new member into the faith and served as the minister of the early sacraments. As the church grew, priests began to assist the bishops in pastoral care, and the bishop’s presence began to be reserved for the confirmation part of the initiation. This persists to the present day.

Today in dioceses around the United States the age for administration of the sacrament of confirmation varies. In some places the emphasis is on a desire to return to the original order of the initiation sacraments -- baptism, confirmation, then Eucharist -- thus necessitating confirmation at an early age. In other dioceses the focus is on the child’s faith development over the years. Confirmation validates the youth’s reaching “adulthood.” Age of administration is the middle-teen years. In still other areas, the emphasis is on appropriate catechesis and full initiation.

In the accompanying article, Sr. Kieran Sawyer delves into these varying emphases in more detail.

“The diversity of age limits established for reception of confirmation represents a range of solid pastoral judgments all of which are valid and seek to express the living spiritual reality found in the sacraments of initiation,” writes Pittsburgh Bishop Donald Wuerl in one of his columns in Columbia, the monthly magazine published by the Knights of Columbus.

At whatever age it is administered, the essence of the sacrament of confirmation remains the same: the outpouring of the Holy Spirit into the life of a Christian.

Chapter 8 of the Acts of the Apostles describes how the apostles in Jerusalem sent Peter and John to Samaria where they laid hands on the new Christians there in order that they receive the Holy Spirit. The laying on of hands together with an anointing with oil became the ritual acts of the sacrament of confirmation. The bishop anoints the forehead with oil and says the words of administration: “Be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit.”

Traditionally, the spiritual gifts of the sacrament are these: wisdom, understanding, knowledge, counsel, fortitude, piety and fear of the Lord. The first four are considered intellectual virtues; the latter three are virtues of the will and appetites.

Times of special grace

For the valid reception of confirmation, according to canon law, it is only required that the person to be confirmed be baptized. For licit reception, though, the child must be “suitably instructed, properly disposed and able to renew one’s baptismal promises” (Canon 889.2). The amount and kind of instruction varies widely. Some parishes require more than 100 classes, stretching over several years, before a student qualifies for confirmation.

Some catechists and liturgists contend that sacramental preparation periods are times of special grace and expectation. Others consider the whole faith development of a child to be graced and blessed.

Franciscan Fr. Thomas Richstatter teaches courses in the sacraments at St. Meinrad’s Archabbey, in Indiana. He told NCR: “When I survey other liturgists and catechists, most I think would agree with me that theologically these initiation sacraments have no independent meaning. Rather they are part of the ongoing faith development of a young Christian.” Too often confirmation is used as a carrot to lure the kids into classes, as a sort of graduation ceremony at the end, according to Richstatter. “But Catholic education is a lifelong process and shouldn’t be particularly tied to sacraments.”

For those who are not used to thinking of confirmation, together with baptism and Eucharist, as part of the Christian initiation process, Richstatter offers an analogy:

“What do we do when we’re invited out to eat? First, we take off our old clothes and wash up. Then we dry off and put on our good clothes. Finally we go to the place where we have been invited and we join with our friends to eat, talk and celebrate. These three sacraments have a similar relationship with each other. In baptism, we take off the old sinful person and wash away the original sin. In confirmation we are anointed with the oil of the Holy Spirit and filled with the seven gifts. Finally, we are led to the eucharistic banquet.”

Typically in confirmation classes, children get basic Christian education, an orientation toward service, maybe a weekend retreat, said Richstatter. “But all these things should be going on anyway. Also, confirmation is sometimes viewed this way: An infant is baptized but has no awareness of the Catholic faith. In the teen years, the youth, armed with knowledge, can then decide for himself or herself. But you can’t really decide; once you’re baptized, you’re baptized.

“The real completion of Christian initiation is Eucharist,” said Richstatter “With our sins washed away and clothed in the Spirit, we come together to the banquet. And the goal of our spiritual striving is for all of us in the Christian community to be brought to perfection as one. The courage and vision to strive for this ultimate unity are the promise and grace of confirmation.”

There are a couple Tau models that have seemed to of been moved from one section to another on the Games Workshop Webstore. I seem to remember something like this happening on the eve of the Astra Militarum releases, so could this be an indicator of changes coming?

I don't play Tau, so this could of happened some time ago, but it does appear in the image I grabbed off the GW. Cadre Fireblade and Gun Drones in the Troops section.

Could Fireblades become the new "other build" from a new Firewarrior box set? It's rumored to produce a second type of unit, and this would make sense.

Bright Spots in Home Schooling

Arizona's Yodeling Sweetheart

In the past yodeling has often been associated with the Swiss Alps, but not anymore. At the November 2003 International Yodeling Competition in Wichita, Kansas, Tiffany Jo Allen an eleven-year-old from Tucson, Arizona yodeled her way to first place. Now nicknamed, "Arizona's Yodeling Sweetheart" Tiffany Jo is gaining public attention and quite a following. 2003 was a big year for Tiffany Jo; in addition to winning the competition she released her first CD, Take Me Back to Tucson, which became a Borders Books & Music 2003 #1 top seller for local artists and was played on over 250 radio stations in the US, Canada, and Europe.

When she was five, Tiffany Jo's nana discovered she could yodel and once Tiffany Jo started yodeling she couldn't stop, she was hooked. Tiffany Jo has performed as a country western singer and yodeler for the past four years, but her first big performance was actually the very next year at age six when she sang a song she wrote and played the piano in front of an audience of 400.

Tiffany Jo's parents and her nana have homeschooled her for the past four years. "We started homeschooling not because of performing, but because the school she attended wanted to jump two grade levels with her." Tiffany Jo's mother, Amber Allen, told HSLDA's Bright Spots. The flexibility that is characteristic to homeschooling certainly benefits a young performer like Tiffany Jo. "She enjoyed singing, but once we started to homeschool she could really enjoy her talent!" added Amber.

When she's not performing or doing schoolwork Tiffany Jo enjoys playing with her little brother, her friends, and pet mice. She also enjoys swimming, reading, cooking and sewing and most likely can be found yodeling at the same time.

Besides having fun Tiffany Jo is touching lives. In the last few years Tiffany Jo raised thousands of dollars for the Red Cross, the United Way, and the MDA. Then in 2003 she decided to start her own charity and Children Helping Children became a reality. Tiffany Jo takes $2 from each CD sale and delivers the money to the Funtasticks Amusement Park to purchase admission passes. Along with her family, Tiffany Jo hand delivers the tickets to Sergeant Kaylor at the Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, who in turn presents them to the children of parents serving in the Middle East.

For more information about Tiffany Jo's charity, upcoming performances, or to listen to a sampling of her yodeling or purchase her CD, visit her website at: www.YodelingStar.com.

My First Mother's Day as a Grammy

Dee took a pic of Me, Megan and Brooklyn on Mother's Day

Morning Sweet Friends,

Hope all you Mom's had a Wonderful
Mother's Day, and if you aren't a Mom
hope you helped your Mom or someone
who is a Mom have a Great Day!

I had a lovely Mother's Day weekend
myself, hubby and I had a fun day on
Sat., he took me shopping for some
clothes,  and I found some cute tops
and a dress. Not sure if I am keeping
them all yet or not....am keeping one
for sure, since I wore it to church on
Sunday. lol  Bought them hoping they
would go with some things I already
had but just haven't really had time
to check it all out yet. We had frozen
yogurt for breakfast at TCBY and
later had a very late lunch or should
I say dinner at Cracker Barrel.

Sunday morning we went to church,
then after we went for frozen yogurt
we got nachos from Taco Bell. That
is fun stuff for us............lol
What can I say, we are simple folks
and easily entertained.......

The whole family arrived in the late
afternoon,  and we had a very nice
and simple dinner.  London Broil,
baked taters, salad and rolls,  and
we got a peanut butter silk pie from
Perkins.  Have you ever had that??
UMMM... they are awesome, if you
have never had one... next holiday
or celebration try one,  you want
be sorry................

We all had a good time just yakking
and eating, and our new entertain-
ment is watching and fussing over
Miss Brooklyn, of course, she was
10 weeks old yesterday. Hubby
and watched her last night, so her
parents could celebrate their 2nd
anniversary. We sure enjoy
 watching and loving on her.........

Want to show you a few shots
I think you will get a kick out of.....

No pun intended............lol
She is practicing her power kicking
here, this is a new sport for her.
She is in deep concentration here.
I am gonna get that yellow thing
whatever it is..............

and she did actually
kick that lil yellow birdie hanging
 there a few times,can you see the
look of satisfaction on her lil
 face. lol ......Look I can do this.......

For awhile now she was working on
 balance and getting rid of her fear of
her arms being too far from her body.

See how well I can balance
Having my arms stretched out can be
a scary thing at times. Not so sure
I really like this stuff..............

and then funniest of all,  my SIL
Susan was holding her up, and just
by accident her head lined up per-
fectly with Brooklyn's.......we just
about died laughing when we saw
the picture...................

Wow, a full head of hair!

Isn't that a riot...........
Hope it puts a smile on your
face, it sure did ours.....

Well, guess I had better get
busy doing something, and
make myself useful.....lol

Hope you have a good rest
of the week........

Hugs and
Post Mother's Day Blessings,

Janet said...

Hi Nellie

I am laughing out loud of the picture of Susan and Brooklyn. What an adorable little girl. Isn't it fun to watch all the things they do?
The picture on the swing was great too. You look well.
It sounds like you had a wonderful day with your family.

Blessings & Love

Jess said...

How FUN!
Brooklyn is a little "doll!"
I am so pleased for you, Jim and the whole family. May our Gracious GOD shower Y'all with His blessings!

Susan Todd said...

It is so grand to go out and celebrate! Praise the LORD for your love for Him and one another!

Sunday Morning there were four other of the ladies I eat lunch with that we went out to eat at Perkins. My dear! A 45 minute wait!
But it was worth it to share with one another in our LORD! I had sent them all an e-card for Mother's Day!

It is always such a joy of celebration when we all meet as a family! The Pb silk pie was delicious!

When I got home, I realized Scott and Megan's anniversary was on Monday, so I sent them an e-card!
I know you enjoyed your time with Brooklyn your sweet gift from GOD!

I can't get over Brooklyn's concentration level at kicking her crib toys! Great foot-eye coordination! Ha! I laughed! She really gets those feet going! I love to watch when she spreads her toes so wide lol!

If her arms weren't spread to the side, she'd be turning herself over!

I love Brooklyn's new hairdo! I was trying to hide behind her so your picture of her would be mostly of her and not me!

I enjoyed your Mother's Day and Megan's celebration! Love to you all, Susan

Carol said...

Any and everything about a baby, puts a smile on my face! Brooklyn is a real cutie patootie! Happy 1st Gramma's Day!

Rebecca said...

Glad you had such a fine/happy 1st Mother's Day as a Grandmother :)

I enjoyed my day, too. Thankful to share it with my mother & for skype calls from our children and grands...

BECKY said...

What a little cutie she is! I sure can see Scott in her! What a hoot that pic with Susan is! Too funny!
Was great to chat today. :o) We both had such a blessed Mother's Day. God is so good!

Love ya gal!

Diane Porazzo said...

Your granddaughter is just beautiful. Grandchildren are such a blessing.
Warmest regards,

Junkchiccottage said...

What a cutie Brooklyn is. Nothing better for a great Mom's Day then spending it with your grandchild. So happy to see you so happy in the picture. You are just glowing with being a grandma!!!!

Sue (Someones Mom) said...

She is just so cute and that last picture had me laughing my head off. You have to save that one as a family favorite!!

I'm glad you had a nice weekend. We did too. We went shopping on Saturday too, some clothes for me, flowers for both mother's graves and Sam's for fish and fruit. Sunday my sister and her husband and youngest came and we went to brunch, my son came over to cook out later in the day. Over all, it was a great weekend and sunny! It has remained that way, although it is supposed to end later today until next week. I am so much happier when the sun in shining!

Heather's Journey said...

what a fun mother's day

Jenny said...

Oh, be still my heart.

She is absolutely precious!

I love that kicking thing they do.

We have a new Grandson just about that age. He does it with his arms more like karate and it's hilarious, too!

I love the shirt you're wearing on the swing! That one is super cute and such a fun pattern!

I'm glad your day was lovely. I've heard Perkin's Pies were wonderful, but I've not tried them.

Happy Thursday!

Ginger said...

I'm doing some catch up with your blog, and I love this post. Great pictures! What a cute grand-baby you have. I'm a first time MiMi and I love it. You'll have the most fun with her! And she will love you to pieces.
We're simple folk ourselves...Nachos and Yogurt sound great to me. We don't have to have expensive to have fun at our house.
Will be reading more of your blog when I can.
God bless.

Coimbra UNESCO World Heritage

Coimbra is the latest addition to the Coimbra UNESCO World Heritage site list and a very special one too as it is my hometown.

I had spent much of the morning at the belvedere of the church of Santa Clara, admiring the bird’s eye view to the Portuguese City of Knowledge. I fringe my eyes, as the midday sun shines a spotlight on the amalgam of white facades, terracotta roofs, church tops and bell towers that make up the city’s skyline. On the summit of the hill opposite, the old university complex is grotesquely undersized by faculties built in the 60’s; A dream of Olympus, they called it!

Very little is left of its 13th-century foundations. Most of the Old University Complex was incorporated into the Royal Palace in the middle ages when Coimbra was the Portuguese capital. Continuously refurbished throughout the centuries, this multi-layered heritage centerpiece has, throughout its history, been the academy of choice of the nation’s most influential summa cum laude.

I am not one of these esteemed alumni, but growing up in this city allowed me to share a precious brotherhood connection with strangers, especially now in September when a new batch of freshmen arrive. For me, this is ten times more rewarding.

The main faculty boulevard bears witness to the centuries old pledging rituals that this academy is known for. Older students wearing their black traditional attire and meticulously arranged cassocks, introduce the newcomers to the art of social ice-breaking, by making them measure the length of the boulevard with a toothpick. Some methodically count the white stones of figures present in the Portuguese Pavement. Others make life marginally easier for themselves and simply climb the statue of the university’s founder, King Denis, to salute the Dean as he walks by.

At the end of the boulevard, I pass through the Porta Ferrea, a five-meter high cast-iron gate, embellished with figures and symbols of wisdom, which guards the entrance to the complex. Inside, a vast courtyard is surrounded by ancestral buildings where, still today, the Faculty of Law and the university’s offices operate. On my right, the 30 meters high University Tower tells the time with a 15-minute delay. A rule imposed by the student body as leeway to those arriving late to class.

Inside the Joanina Library, next door, the air smells of knowledge. “If you look closely, you will notice that their eyes follow you as you move!” said the library tour guide about the figures on the frescos that line the ceiling. Her enthusiasm is contagious and I proudly pitch in that it is one of the top 20 in the world.

Outside, in the courtyard’s belvedere, I find I am no longer able to admire the lofty canopy of the adjacent botanical gardens. A lingering pain has set into the back of my neck, an obvious consequence of my prolonged admiration of the library’s frescos.

Suddenly the courtyard fills up with people, elbowing each other towards the rising sound of a Fado refrain and the distinctive chords of the 12-string Coimbra guitar. Silence sets in the moment that deep male voice hits the first lyrics of an improv serenade. Coimbra, very much like its Fado, tells deep stories of love, meaningful companionship, and nostalgia about those who choose this quiet town to become Men and Women.

I dedicate my award winning travel writing and photography to the soul and sense of place of the locations I visit, the people I meet and the food I taste.

MBowie and the BLAST

Michael Bowie: Jazzhead

In Michael Bowie’s classroom, every day is an open-book test. Like any good teacher, he makes the complicated feel simple and brings depth to the rudimentary.

Period 1 finds the Washington, D.C.-based bassist, bandleader, and composer coming of age in and among traditions. Raised by classically trained parents, Bowie crafts himself in real time, even as the strands of which he is composed cast their nets far into the future of what he, himself, will compose. Like a tree craving sunlight, his hands branch out across a range of instrumental terrains—piano, clarinet, and trumpet—but always in search of deeper roots. He discovers that sometimes the most formative learning comes not through instruction but through listening. After a steady diet of Stanley Clarke, Chick Corea, and the late Al Jarreau, it’s George Benson who gives him a truer sense of things, and through that discovery becomes aware that the musician and the griot walk the same path.

I’m a humanist at heart. What compels me is to utilize the gift I’ve been given to tell a larger story. That’s what I want to convey to the world through the music, through my pen, in bringing a sense of hope and unity. That’s the only reason I began doing this.

Period 2 plants Bowie in the soil of bassist Larry Graham. His feet are already taking in nutrients before his fingers even know they crave the feel of a bass. The electric prince opens to him a kingdom of frequency, the subjects of which inhale the political and exhale the personal. It is here where activism begins to germinate into what will later be his most defining cultural statement yet. It’s a demanding journey, but one that in his lengthening shadow feels inevitable, and which proves that sometimes a line of curiosity is all it takes to find voice in a society droning with prerecorded messages. It’s precisely this quest for truth that earns him a National Endowment for the Arts Award in Jazz Study while in college, under the auspices of which he trains with Keter Betts and Calvin Jones, both of whom get the blood pumping through his physiological arsenal. Armed and ready, Bowie dives headlong into the New York City jazz scene—where he jumpstarts his professional career, sharing stages and studios with Sarah Vaughan, Abdullah Ibrahim, Patti Labelle, Abbey Lincoln, Isaac Hayes, and Manhattan Transfer, among many others—before settling into the D.C. area and crystallizing concrete notions of community in his mainstay band, Siné Qua Non.

I learned quickly that most great musicians see the bassist as the unspoken “leader” of the group, in that they can change the vibe of a band instantly. It’s the same attribute that made the transition from back to front an easier one. I’d learned so much music from musicians with formidable forward thinking ‘jazz’ minds, and they let me know that it was my responsibility to fully pursue my artistry. Now I know intimately what the phrase ‘to whom much is given, much is required’ means. A tougher road, but it comes with a satisfaction unsurpassed.

Period 3, then, opens horizons of self-expression that Bowie has kept in check as sideman, but which through his role as frontman achieve a fresh stroke of democracy. Siné Qua Non’s name, a Latin term meaning “essential condition,” cues us in on the chiseling effect with which music has blessed him: revealing a truer form of his spiritual sculpture with every tap of the hammer. Now Bowie blows away the dust to reveal an even deeper version of himself, following as much as guiding. The title of the band’s full-length album, Simple Pleasures, says it all: a joyful appreciation for the little things. As fearless as it is inviting, Bowie’s world actualizes a conscious yet organic attempt to step out of the hall of mirrors that is genre and into a territory without assumptive borders. In this jazzhead’s mental landscape, divisions are nothing less than paving for crossroads. It’s more about blending than transcending, while recognizing the necessity of the past to forge the here and now.

When you listen to my music, you might wonder where the homage to my jazz roots are within it all. One could simply look through history to examine how the masters took existing music and changed the harmonic and rhythmic anatomy to reflect the times. They did so with a jazz mindset, only to create a song with new life, a new energy. Fast-forward to now, where the sociopolitical climate is likewise rife with overt and undercurrent issues, all of which can bring musicians together to make a positive difference.

Period 4 is science class, and is where Bowie brews his most insightful concoctions. In service of new directions with established messages, he institutes a new production company, Neo Syndicate, in the grandest tradition of irreverence. With gravity and whimsy in equal measure, he incorporates poignant commentary into the already-salient fabric of hip-hop. For this, he is currently recording a CD, MBowie and the Blast: When We Can Call This Home, and is set to premiere his theatrical concert piece, You Haven’t Done Nothin’, at 2017’s DC JazzFest. With Bowie’s music as its sun, the multimedia planets of this “live video” performance trace thematic orbits of social justice, the human toll of oppression, and the right to protest. Using jazz and hip-hop, dance, and film, YHDN blasts a call for truth in an echo chamber of lies. YHDN examines the civic right to publicly demonstrate, inviting diverse artists and audiences from all walks of life to be part of the musical discourse, and speaks to the importance of accountability. Because, when it all comes down to the wire, you can’t claim what you haven’t done.

It’s a sobering reminder that only when you leave school grounds does the real education begin.

In an effort to retake ISIS' last major stronghold, President Trump has approved arming Kurdish forces in Syria despite opposition from Turkey.

The U.S. will supply the Kurdish elements of the American-backed Syrian Democratic Forces "as necessary," Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White said in a statement Tuesday.

After the GOP-controlled House passed a Republican-drafted health care bill Thursday without waiting for an analysis of the bill's costs and impacts by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, the White House is signaling that Washington's official legislative scorekeeper could be its next political foil.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a spokeswoman for President Trump, told reporters Friday the White House feels "very confident in where the plan is, and moving it forward."

In an interview on SiriusXM Monday afternoon, President Donald Trump wondered aloud about why the Civil War wasn't "worked out" and whether Andrew Jackson, who died 16 years before the war started, could've prevented the bloodiest war in U.S. history.

U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the first Cuban-American elected to Congress and the first congressional Republican to publicly support marriage equality, is retiring next year at the end of her term.

During a "very friendly" phone conversation, President Donald Trump invited Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte to the White House, signaling a massive shift in attitude from the U.S. toward a leader known best for inciting an extrajudicial war on drugs in his country that's killed more than 7,500 people.

Updated at 4:50 p.m. ET.

President Trump spoke to the National Rifle Association's annual leadership forum on Friday, the first sitting president since Ronald Reagan to do so.

"We have news that you've been waiting for ... a long time," Trump told the crowd in Atlanta. "The eight-year assault on your Second Amendment freedoms has come to a crashing end."

Much of his speech echoed the rhetoric he used on the campaign, and has continued at rallies during his first 100 days in office.

Kuki Gallmann, a conservationist best known for her book I Dreamed of Africa, was ambushed and shot while she drove across her conservancy in Kenya Sunday morning.

Gallmann, 73, was shot in the stomach and "severely injured" while surveying her property with rangers of the Kenya Wildlife Service, according to her brother-in-law Nigel Adams and a press release from a farmers' association of which she's a member.

She was flown to a hospital in Nairobi for treatment, and was still conscious and speaking after the attack, according to The New York Times.

Humans have long looked to animals for design inspiration. From basic camouflage to a quiet bullet train in Japan to the Wright brothers' wings, the process called biomimicry is a basic tenet of human engineering.

Jonathon Keats has turned it on its head.

What Becomes of our Internet Properties When We Are Gone?

At 4:00am today, I went through my Facebook account as I usually do each dawn when I wake up to write or study. As I kept scrolling through my timeline, I saw a face of a friend under The People You May Know section. This is a friend who's personally known to me. A very beautiful lady who has a heart of gold. You'll never see her without her signature smile that flashes dimples in her cheeks. I've worked with her during my internship program in a company at Kumasi. She died just a year after my internship program. She had succumbed to a heart disease that has plagued her for some years.

But this dawn, there she lies on Facebook, flashing her usual smile at me as if she never left. As if she's alright and living around several meters away from my house. "Should I request for her friendship or just poke her?" I asked myself. "How long is she gonna be here on Facebook though she'd died?" "How does her family feels anytime they see her post and pictures on Facebook?" Do they smile about her memories or they cry about the fact that she would never be seen again?" This and so much more questions kept raging my mind. She's dead and gone but she will forever have her Facebook, Instagram and Twitter account going.

Everyone reading this post will one day have this same will die and you'll be survived by your various internet account. How would you like your family to treat all those digital pictures and videos you left behind? Would you be bold enough to leave your passwords somewhere for your relatives so they can shut your internet accounts down? Don't prolong the pain of your family. Those videos of you on Instagram and Facebook won't go away unless you closed them

Today, I've decided to leave my passwords behind as part of my Will. Family will finally have a sneak peak through the real life of me. Two days after I'm buried, family should shut down all my internet possessions.

Are you bold enough to leave your passwords behind?

Lessons from the European Dating Front

Russian brides are passe, says Petra Prochazkova in the Czech Republic's Lidove noviny. Now it's Russian men who are wooing women's hearts all over Europe's online dating websites.

"It may seem unlikely --after all, Russian women tend to see their men as drunken layabouts and filthy primates. But in the eyes of foreign women, Russians are "real men, at once romantic, kind hearted, and mouthwateringly manly." Czech and other European women are tired of the West European males on offer, "these bespectacled intellectuals or bland, boring bankers. We have our own intellect and education --we don't need a partner who reads nonfiction in bed. What we need "is a he-man, one of those real guys with a rugged complexion, weather-beaten by the Siberian winds." In surveys that measure this sort of thing, Russians currently come in third among the most attractive men in the world, "right after Italians and Americans." So even though many of them "dress like mobsters" and have absolutely no taste, they can afford to be selective in choosing their ladies. European men take note. "Women find a buttoned-up, humorless miser to be a far worse mate than your garden-variety Russian drunk." - As seen in "The Rise of the Mail-Order Russian Groom" in The Week.

PBS Distribution announced today it is releasing “WILD KRATTS: AUSTRALIAN ADVENTURES” on DVD January 5, 2016. “AUSTRALIAN ADVENTURES” includes three episodes of the PBS KIDS hit series WILD KRATTS, one of which is a bonus story! From exploring how a thorny devil drinks water to learning about a koala’s favorite food, kids can join the Kratt Brothers as they travel throughout Australia and provide insight into some amazing and unique animals.

In the first two episodes on this DVD, the Kratt Brothers explore the Australian Outback. In “Koala Balloon,” the brothers find a stranded koala in the desert. In order to help the koala the brothers work to get their new friend back to its eucalyptus forest habitat. In “Kickin’ it with the Roos,” the brothers are motoring through the Australian Outback in the createrra looking for red kangaroos. When the brothers finally locate a mob of red kangaroos, they run into trouble when the keys to the createrra are stolen by a joey. This episode also features two fascinating birds – a kookaburra and a wedge-tailed eagle!

In the bonus episode on this DVD, “Platypus Café,” the brothers learn about one of the most unusual animals in the world – the duck-billed platypus. In order to get to know this creature, Martin and Chris use the miniaturizer to shrink and enter a platypus burrow.

WILD KRATTS: AUSTRALIAN ADVENTURES will be available on DVD January 5, 2016. The DVD run time is approximately 60 minutes and its SRP is $12.99. The episodes included on this DVD are listed below.

Koala Balloon
Martin and Chris must protect a young koala stranded in the Australian Outback, and help him get back to his eucalyptus forest habitat. On their quest to return the adorable animal home, the brothers discover lots of interesting facts about how animals are specialized to their own environment.

Kickin’ it with the Roos
When Chris and Martin meet up with a mob of red kangaroos, they get their car keys stolen by a joey and have to figure out how to get them back from the tricky little guy.  As they jump into the life of the roos to search for the missing keys, the brothers realize that animals live in different kinds of social groups and they have important behaviors that keep the group together and safe.  But everybody wonders just how safe this search has become, when Chris and Martin get tangled up in a kickboxing match with the dominant male and caught in the middle of a dingo attack.

Platypus Café
On a kayaking expedition in Australia, the brothers encounter one of the world’s most unusual creatures: a platypus mother with her eggs.  But unscrupulous endangered animal chef, Gourmand, plans on adding the platypus eggs to his menu. Chris and Martin must harness the special electromagnetic “sixth sense” of the platypus to save the eggs.

My Thoughts

My kids just love the Wild Kratts and all their adventures in the Australian Outback.  Not only is the show always full of entertaining adventures, they also learn a little about the local wildlife. This DVD includes there awesome episodes.

Koala Balloon - Martin and Chris help a little koala get back to a field of eucalyptus.

Kickin’ it with the Roos - Martin & Chris get their keys stolen by a kangaroo.

Platypus Café - The boys must stop a chef from stealing a mother platypus' eggs.

This is a great DVD with some of their best episodes. Any fan will want this in their collection.

Talkin' Twitter

Let's take a moment here and talk about Twitter (follow me). Some folks are crazy for Twitter, while others wonder what all the rage is about. Personally, I've been having kind of a hard time describing it to others. Still, I like it a lot, and think that it will - in some form or another - be the future of blogging. I think that most of us are still figuring out just how to utilize their medium. My buddy Adrian from ipickmynose criticizes those who use the site simply for linking back to their blog. He twittered:
honestly, if I want to know when you post, I'll put your blog into my RSS reader, not follow you on twitter. Fast track to unfollowing.
I have to say that I'm inclined to agree with him.

A number of musicians are jumping into the Twitter game, and Drowned in Sound has done a great job of deciding whose worth following - and who isn't. A few of the artists I started following recently - Colin Meloy, Q-Tip, Janelle Monae, and, oh, MC Hammer.

Twitter can be a great promotional tool - I think we still need to figure out just how it can be more than "Eating a sandwich" or "Taking a Walk." Stephen Saber writes that Twitter will be a part of the future in some form, even if it is eventually called by another name:
I postulate that he problem that people have with Twitter is that they are looking at it as if it is the final product of the communications revolution that it has started. Instead, let me suggest that you think of it as the AOL of its era. When AOL launched, it was very much a tool for social purposes that had a lot of features and functionality that could be repurposed for successful business uses. These days, AOL is all but non-existent in the realm of internet powerhouses, yet much of what was embedded in that application lives on today in many of the tools that we all rely on every day.
A recent Wired commentary pretty much declared blogging dead - and it is true that the 'sphere has become quite cluttered. Twitter's short-form blogging is exciting and I am trying to utilize it for the things I don't always get to do on my blog. A fun challenge: Trying to compose a 140-word movie review.

Oh, and follow me.

I can't remember what came first - the Facebook status updates, or Twitter? I have a twitter account, but never use it because I can't link it back to my blog, and hardly anyone I know uses Twitter.

But you're right about status updates in general becoming the wave of the future. I quite enjoyed your review of Revolutionary Road today. ;)
