text: « return to timeline Charlie Brown's attempts to kick the football even as he knows Lucy will pull it away is one of the most popular and enduring themes in Peanuts. The first time Schulz used the football idea in his comic strip was in 1951, although Violet is the one holding the football for Charlie Brown in that instance. The theme was then shown nearly every year through the run of the strip and has also appeared in Peanuts animated television specials. Peanuts strip originally published on November 14, 1951 As with many of Schulz's themes in Peanuts, the annual "pulling away of the football" strips seem to work well on two levels. On their most basic level, they are simply funny comic strips. The notion that Charlie Brown would attempt this year after year, despite failure upon failure, is comical, as is the mere sight of him flying hopelessly into the air and landing flat on his back, only to then have Lucy heap insult upon injury. But these strips also work on a metaphorical level as well to illustrate the ongoing struggle of life and how we must endure and not lose sight of hope in the face of adversity. Peanuts strip originally published on October 10, 1982 The football theme is so well understood by audiences that many editorial cartoonists parodied the theme throughout the run of Peanuts and continue to do so today to illustrate their observations of the world. The Peanuts football theme has also been featured in an endearing Coca-Cola commercial that aired during the Super Bowl broadcast in 2008 which shows various cartoon character balloons from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade attempting to catch a bottle of Coca-Cola balloon as it sails above the streets of New York City. In 2011, an animated Lucy held the football for Charlie Brown in a pistachios campaign called "Get Crackin'". The commercial shows Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown with the accompanying narration: "Lucy does it for kicks."

When you're husband is as hot as Mark Consuelos, it's understandable you'd share a shirtless snap of him to Instagram, but for Kelly Ripa, it was all to show her support of his Teen Choice 2018 nomination.
"Here's a villain we can all get behind. Congrats @instasuelos on your #choiceTVVillian nomination. (A phrase i never thought I'd say) Vote now!????????" she wrote to accompany the topless photo of her man. Consuelos is nominated for his dastardly role on the show Riverdale, where he plays Hiram Lodge.
The Live With Kelly and Ryan star first met Consuelos back in 1995 when he auditioned for the role of Mateo on the now-defunct soap opera, All My Children. Ripa's Hayley had been firmly ensconced in the soap's fictional town of Pine Valley since 1990, and when Consuelos joined the show as her love interest, the sparks from "reel" life bled over into real life.
They married on May 1, 1996 and have since had three children: Michael, who turned 21 this month, Lola Consuelos, who recently turned 17, and Joaquin, who is 15-years-old. They've acted together a few times since, including on Ripa's sitcom, Hope & Faith, that she co-starred with Faith Ford.
Ripa shared a throwback picture to Instagram to celebrate daughter Lola's birthday, as previously reported by Inquisitr earlier this week. Normally her older kids don't like for her to talk about them on her social media, but Lola allowed her mother a little leeway on her birthday.
"In Ripa's sweet throwback Instagram post, she put up a picture showing her looking incredibly pregnant and hubby Mark had his hand on her belly. Kelly detailed that she couldn't resist posting something to coincide with her daughter's birthday," the report said.
Apparently, Lola has an opinion or two about her father's villainous Riverdale role, which she enjoys a great deal, according to an article from last October on Entertainment Tonight.
"During her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday, Kelly Ripa revealed that while her and Consuelos' [then] 16-year-old daughter wishes Consuelos would act a little more like Lodge at home," they reported.
"I wish you could watch Riverdale with my 16-year-old daughter, who is like, 'I cannot believe that Dad is on a show that I actually watch,'" Ripa said. "My daughter's like, 'Dad never lets me drink mimosas at breakfast!' And I go, 'Yeah, because he's a real father, and that's a character on TV!"

I have the wonderful opportunity to work with the jalapenos, which is why I'm wearing these blue surgical gloves, so that I don't end up with hot jalapeno on my face all day. --- Jean Haley
You might remember this story from last fall, about a collective salsa making adventure. A group of women get together every year around this time and crank out batch after batch of salsa from local summer produce. They put it all up in jars, to enjoy throughout the winter.
It sounds like a lot of work, but they manage to make it fun.
In traditional farming communities, several households might get together to put up the season's green beans, or get the peaches canned in quart jars with a light syrup, or maybe make enough blackberry jam to last three families through the winter. The phrase "many hands make light work" really comes into play when you're talking about food preservation. Collective cooking has the added benefit of building community. Here's a story of those food traditions revived, and a group of friends making good use of another brilliant farmsteading practice--the outdoor kitchen, or summer kitchen.
Marcia Veldman has the perfect set up at her farm, Meadowlark, in Brown County, Indiana. Many of the vegetables for the salsa are grown on her farm, with the help of some of the very same women preparing the salsa. Her back patio is converted into a spacious and shady summer kitchen, ideal for all those simmering sauce pots and large, enamel canners full of boiling of water.
Whether you are new to canning or a seasoned veteran, be sure to consult a trusted canning recipe before preparing and putting up your own batch of salsa. Tomatoes are acidic enough to can using a boiling water bath method, but once you add the peppers, onions and garlic you need to either pressure can your salsa, or acidify it with vinegar or lemon juice. Don't guess at how much you need to add, consult a trusted canning recipe to make sure your ratio is correct, and your delicious salsa is safe to eat when you pop it open in the dead of winter.
The National Center for Home Food Preservation, from the University of Georgia, provides research-based recipes and methods for all your food preservation projects. You will always can a safe product if you follow their instructions.
And if you're wanting to make salsa with the bounty from your own garden, but aren't up for a canning adventure, check out Chef Daniel Orr's Salsa Verde recipe, or Barbara Brosher's tomato-based Roasted Garden Salsa.

Controversial Yaxham housing development green lit as council drop plans for judicial review
PUBLISHED: 17:23 20 June 2018 | UPDATED: 17:23 20 June 2018
A Norfolk parish council has 'disappointed' residents with their decision not to request a judicial review into a proposed development of 25 homes on the edge of the village.
Yaxham Parish Council held an extraordinary meeting to discuss asking for a judicial review into a development proposed between the neighbouring villages of Yaxham and Clint Green.
But after seeking legal advice the council decided a review would not be cost effective, despite opposition to the bid, which had been refused twice.
Yaxham resident, Andrew Thorpe, said: "This is about destroying the fabric of a small village."
He described the extraordinary parish council meeting, held on Thursday, June 14, as "very packed" and said: "A lot of people turned up to hear what happened.
"We only discovered that the planning inspectorate overturned the appeal three weeks ago."
The development, proposed by Norwich-based planners Lanpro, on behalf of their clients, Glavenhill Strategic Land, was refused by Breckland District Council in March 2017 and again in August, after it was decided that the new homes would harm the open countryside.
But in May this year the decision was overturned by the planning inspectorate, who gave the development the green light.
But its opponents say the new homes threaten the future of the Yaxham Neighbourhood Plan, which sets out the village's planning priorities over the next few years.
Mr Thorpe, a Norfolk County Council by-election candidate, added: "This is driving a coach and horses through a very well thought out local plan - which was supported by 92pc of the village in a local referendum.
"We have come to the end of the road on these houses, but [there are] concerns about a Trojan horse effect.
"The parish council are aware and we need to fight this every step of the way
"I'm disappointed for the village. This is not nimby-ism as some people might think. There are genuine concerns about the environment, the infrastructure, the schools and the drainage."
Yaxham parish council chairman, Peter Lowings, said: "We took a barrister's advice whether it was worthwhile pursuing a judicial review.
"In light of that the parish council took the decision not to."

Encourage greater restriction of sale of deadly weapons
Following the tragic mass shooting in Las Vegas, on Oct. 2, the National Rifle Association has done the unexpected and called for regulation on the sale of bump stocks and guns in the United States. A bump stock is a device added to a rifle that allows it to mimic a rapid fire weapon. , the devices are legal, because they do not give rifles full automatic ability. However, audio clips from the Las Vegas shooting prove just how effective bump stocks are. In Las Vegas, about 90 shots were produced in ten seconds; a fully automatic weapon has a rate of 98 shots in seven seconds. This small distinction is the difference that determines the legality of firearm possession. However, , NRA executive director Chris Cox recently stated, "We don't believe bans worked on anything," yet he stated that the organization was open to regulating things differently.
On Oct. 7, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) called for more legislation surrounding guns in general, . This is reminiscent of her 2013 bill to ban the sale of semi-automatic guns. Generally, the Democratic party is in favor of gun regulation, and it is surprising to see Republican support on the issue as well. However, , U.S. Representative Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.) announced a plan to draft a bill to ban bump-stock sales and claims that he has received support from dozens of Republicans, . Though President Donald Trump is a supporter of gun rights, evidenced by his appearance at the NRA conference earlier in the year, he said he would "look into that" when asked about the ban on bump stocks, per . However, there needs to be less discussion surrounding the legality of the device when it is merely an issue of splitting hairs.
A rifle with a bump stock is similar to a fully automatic weapon, the difference being about five shots per second. In addition, bump stocks don't require a license or any authorization to purchase; they can be bought online with prices ranging from $500 to $1,000. If fully automatic guns were banned, why not ban devices that give a semi-automatic gun the same capability? Former President Ronald Reagan addressed the regulation of automatic machine guns in 1986 in the Firearm Owners Protection Bill, which limited the public and private sale of machine guns that were registered after the year 1986. Fully automatic guns are still available for sale, but in order to purchase them, one needs to complete a background check, receive written approval from their local police chief and pay a $200 tax, . In addition, an application must be submitted that includes two recent photographs of the purchaser and a set of fingerprints. All of this attempts to ensure that an individual is held accountable for their actions if they were to misuse the device in any way. This is not to say that some states do not provide adequate restrictions on gun ownership. For example, both a permit to purchase and one to carry are required in Massachusetts, . The NRA also states that in Nevada, where the recent tragedy took place, gun owners do not need a permit to purchase, license of ownership or registration of the firearm. This, in conjunction with the ease of accessibility of a bump stock, enables anyone to possess a weapon with nearly the same capability as a fully-automatic gun.
Interestingly, since the Las Vegas shooting, bump stock sales have increased tremendously. In , Michael Cargill, owner of Central Texas Gun Works, stated that ever since the shooting was reported, he has received around 50 people a day asking for bump stocks. He also stated that his distributors have sold out as well. Cargill isn't alone; several other gun salesmen have given similar accounts regarding the newfound popularity of bump stocks. In the same CNN article, another gun shop owner said that he had five bump stocks that were collecting dust for months, but once the story broke, four of them were sold in one day. Even , a company that has sold bump stocks for the past four years, has suspended their service stating, "We have temporarily suspended new orders to process current orders as quickly as possible." In order to create actual change, strict limitations must be placed on the sale and purchase of deadly items; who knows what a potential imitator might try to do. This is not a call to make gun possession illegal or punish gun owners, but it is a suggestion that states increase their regulation of bump stocks and firearms.

A mockery of the state of video games in 2005, April 17, 2016
by MathBrushThis is a joke game. It has a long spiel about using science to make the most enjoyable game possible.
Then you make (Spoiler - click to show)two choices and end the game. This makes the game very short..
This sort of game, using short CYOA to mock game culture, came into vogue a decade later with authors like Soda51.

Coffee exists due to a small bean. That tiny bean is responsible for an entire industry. Read on to learn some helpful tips and advice to help you can use to make the perfect brew.
They let you brew just one cup and many flavors to choose from. There are various makers to pick from that have different features.
Do you enjoy the coffee you make with a drip machine? You can make some better coffee by letting the machine heat up by letting it run with just water. Once you have done this, you can start again with the coffee grounds. This can be a good way to clean your machine.
Don't keep coffee beans in their original packaging after it's been opened.It is vital that you keep them from the air and air. This helps the level of crispness and freshness that you experience.
Coffee in the freezer for more than three months.
Your coffee is only taste as tasty as the water used to make it. You might want to taste your water before putting in the coffee maker to brew.
Put some money into a standard coffee grinder. When you grind your own beans, your coffee will maintain its aroma and flavor. Many models let you adjust coarseness of your beans.
The flavor of your coffee often depends on the beans. Experiment with many blends and brands for new flavors.
Don't reheat coffee when you're saving some for later. Keep extra coffee hot and fresh until you need it by placing it in a thermos that retains heat. If you don't have one, just make another pot of coffee.
These types of grinders minimize the amount of heat generation. This improves the pleasing taste of the coffee. Grinders that have blades instead of burrs do not at all consistent. They can create way too high a lot of heat and burn your beans.
Do you want to create the same great taste as your favorite coffee shop? One thing you could do is use more actual coffee grounds. A good rule of thumb is to measure two tablespoons worth of coffee for every 6 ounces of water. Experiment with ratios until you find the perfect flavor and keep in mind that you might have to adapt the ratio to the blend you are using.
If you like flavored coffees, buy flavored creamers. This ensures that you get the cleanest and purest brew from other coffee flavors. You can also serve guests the flavored coffee they want. Put the flavoring in any syrup before you put any sweeter or milk so it totally dissolves.
Don't make iced coffee by pouring your hot coffee over ice cubes. This waters down version of coffee. After they have frozen, you can remove them and let them melt.
Enjoy your coffee now that you are more informed about it. You can make coffee for others with confidence. The more frequently you use the information in this article, the more you will like your coffee.

I am a very environmentally conscientious person and have no problem lessening the impact on landfills. Like it says on the Greenwashing slides, unless you become the woman who is carrying bunch of branches for fire, one can only lessen the impact as it is kind of too late. Okay so I'll explain in the next paragraphs how I do that and how I even learned that my carbon footprint was pretty low.
My big part of contribution to the environment is reducing my personal trash that go into the landfill, and I recycle everything I can. What I cannot throw in my curbside recycle tote such as plastic grocery bags and glass, I take it to the dumpsite for all colored glass products. The grocery bags go back for recycle like at a grocery store. I don't get that many bags since I use cloth bags for shopping. I also use only environmentally friendly products and tend to use baking soda and distilled vinegar as they have so many uses. All of my hygiene products are green products. I think green with everything I do; it just makes me feel better and my place smells good too. I use essential oils too for different purposes.
Companies have come long ways but we still need to read the ingredients and keep learning about harmful chemicals that are used in our households. I have receptacle set up for recycling so I can throw my mixed recycling materials from cooking and going through my mails. I also throw all of my produce scraps into compost bin so these don't go in trash either. I only get trash picked up every two weeks; this is how low my volume is. But I know so many others who throw everything into the trash can because these people do not want to form good habits. It is not that hard; we're all tired but just need to make it a habit and convenient to separate it as you getting rid of stuff.
I would like to share one green event I went to at WA convention center in Seattle. It was Green something; it has been a few years so I forgot the exact title. There, I learned that I only needed to get an electric vehicle if I can but when my carbon footprint was calculated, it turned out to be pretty good. It made me feel so good. If we can prevent further global warming then it will be beneficial for the younger generations.

The band name was a Ken Kängström creation, but the band is Ken, Linda, Jonas, Viko and Karl.
An album inside a drawer.
Forget about genres for a second – Follow the Cipher 's music sounds like …?
Like a love child between a Michael Bay movie and some kick ass melodic metal.
Very mixed different moods create different kinds of songs.
Which instrument will surely NEVER be heard on a Follow the Cipher -album?
There's no limit to what we can use.
Which record would you want to listen to when you leave the bathroom in the morning, while the beautiful girl from last night is still in your bed?
Are you talking about my cat Luna?
Linda's answer: Red White Crue (Mötley Crüe)
The Fairy-Godmother pops up in front of you and grants you a wish. What do you wish for?
Peace and love!
No alcohol is no solution either. What booze combination will definitely dissolve all your troubles and issues?
Cyanide and mustard …
He has the mustard.
Who was the hero of your childhood?
The dad with the guy with the mustard.
What is the most embarrassing/surprising record in your CD-shelf?
Smurf hits volume 2 but we loved it.
What's next? Tour? Studio? Vacation? Something completely different?
We will release our album this spring on Nuclear Blast records and then we will play some festivals and hopefully do a tour later this year.

REVHROD over at Rev. Gals & Pals gives us baptism questions this week;
1. When and where were you baptized? Do you remember it? Know any interesting tidbits?
I was baptized at First Baptist Church, Pacoima, California by my beloved pastor Rev. L. Stanley Polk.
I was six years old, but I remember it vividly. A week or so before, "Brother Polk" was preaching about baptism, and I was sitting between my parents listening intently. We always had an "invitation" at the close of the service in those days at First Baptist--a time to come forward and pray with someone, to tell the pastor of a decision, etc. I recall tugging at my dad's sleeve and saying "I am getting baptized! I am a Christian and Jesus is my Savior. Why am I not baptized?" My dad said something about my young age, and I said, "I am a Christian!" And out the row I went and straight up to the pastor, where I shook his hand and whispered "I am here to tell you I am a Christian and I want to be baptized." Remembering this, and knowing what a timid little thing I was, I must have really felt it all quite strongly! Makes me smile to recall it.
About a month later, I was baptized in the baptismal pool, one of those kind that is raised above the congregation on the wall. I wore a white robe, as did Bro. Polk, and I had to stand on a couple of cinder block bricks because I was so short. I had a moment of panic as I looked out at the people, but it was short lived. My dad later told me that the congregation could see my little feet as I paddled back to the steps to exit after I was immersed.
2. What's the most unexpected thing you've ever witnessed at a baptism?
Top half, pierced nipples. Bottom half: orange swimming trunks with palm trees on them. No, we don't usually baptize folks half nekkid. Don't ask.
3. Does your congregation have any special traditions surrounding baptisms?
Not so much. Sometimes in summer we do them out at a lake not far from church. Those are my favorite kinds of baptism services. We always sing "I Have Decided to Follow Jesus." And usually I do not pray for the baptismal candidate, but someone who knows them well or has had a significant role in their spiritual life does the honors.
4. Are you a godparent or baptismal sponsor?
Well we don't baptise infants, but we do dedicate them, and odly enough, no, never been a godparent. Phooey!
5. Do you have a favorite baptismal song or hymn?
See number three. :-) Not my favorite, but what sticks in my mind because we always sing it.

Yesterday I made a fairly brilliant move, and left the house at 6:20 am to catch my 6:20 am bus. If it hadn't been 6:20 am, I might have worked the math out better on that, but it wasn't until 6:22 that I realised that this wasn't going to work out.
So, I walked to work. 7K, 1 hour and 2 min. Not too bad. Not going to do it every day, but it was OK. There's a saying in Catalan that goes along the lines of, those without a memory, have legs. Yeah, those who are kinda dumb too.
On another note, the French are coming!
We are, for our sins, hosting a French exchange. Youngest has been studying French for a couple of years, and the school this year has organized an exchange. Somehow or other we got 2 French kids instead of the requisite 1, and they are both boys. Should be interesting. Especially as they are here to learn Spanish, which I speak rather marginally. The man is better, and youngest is quite good.
Tengo que hablar i aprender mas español.
Should be a laugh and a half!
Also, on Monday I went back to the Hospital de San Pau with a different friend, it was neat, I didn't bring the camera, something of a mistake as they opened up parts of the building that we didn't see last time, but they also closed up some of the best bits. I asked around and most of it is going to be unavailable if you pay to go in as they are going to be using it as a conference center and offices for businesses, which I do think is a very good thing overall, just a shame that it'll be hard to see!
On that note, I think I had better go to bed, life is pretty busy around here! I'm even painting!
I've got two gigantic paintings on the go, two friends who wanted them.....so it's fun, but frustrating as I haven't got the time to paint that I'd like.

X-it Strategy
David Edelstein's article ("Blame Blockbuster, Not the MPAA") makes good points about the way that the after-market also influences what can be seen in theaters. But I believe the MPAA is partly to blame for that situation, because it allowed first the X and then its clone the NC-17 to be described as categories hospitable to hard-core pornography. My hope is that an A rating would work specifically because the NC-17 would be retained, to give Blockbuster something to feel pious about.
The current situation has become impossible. The R rating has been stretched to the bursting point and now permits material that would have been NC-17 a few years ago. Yet a Kubrick film cannot be seen as he intended it.
–Roger Ebert
Burning Bush
I was disappointed in Michael Kinsley's "Go to Hell" because it took so many cheap shots and was so internally inconsistent. He first asserts that George W. Bush's having an opinion about how one gets to heaven is tantamount to "condemning most of humanity." Then, in response to Bush's efforts to get out of this subject by stating that God decides who goes to heaven, Kinsley mocks him, noting that "we can stipulate that God decides." Well, which is it–is Bush "condemning" people by having an opinion, or is he a weenie for saying that God decides?
Then, after frying Bush for having a view, idly wondering if he is an anti-Semite, and criticizing him for trying to avoid a theological quagmire in the midst of a political campaign, Kinsley attacks him and others for not sticking to their true views and also criticizes the general public (to which he was pandering only a few column inches previously) for caring about what other people believe about such issues. Really–it seems like Mike is trying to have his cake and eat it several times.
–Steve Aeschbacher
Woodinville, Wash.
The Road to Hell
Who in the hell cares whether anyone thinks someone else will go to heaven? (See Michael Kinsley's "Go to Hell") Does this belief change one's ability to govern? This should only matter if the person governing is governing over the place where admission to same is the governor's prerogative. As long as the religious belief of the person governing does not promote or condone acts of violence against those governed, or in the repression of those who fail to share his/her religious convictions, then the beliefs that the governor holds are not a newsworthy event, or even the public's business. We in the United States seem to give too much weight to things that do not have any bearing on the person's ability to lead the country. I couldn't have cared less if President Clinton had an extramarital affair, other than that he spent taxpayer money to get on television and swear to us repeatedly that it did not happen. His affair has no bearing on his ability to do his job … his dishonesty does. If we ever prove that George W. Bush has lied to us at our expense, then this will be a factor that should be weighed in determining his ability to truly lead this country. But otherwise, so long as his religious convictions, no matter how weak or strong they may be, are not geared toward the outright oppression or destruction/neglect of those who fail to share his views, they should not matter, and warrant no scrutiny.

Closing the Circle
I shall direct my remarks to Ellen McGarrahan ("Florida Juice"). I, like you, on the morning of May 4, 1990, attended the legal execution of Jesse Tafero, at the Florida State Prison. I, like you, was attending his execution as a witness, not for my former employer, the Florida Highway Patrol, but to complete a cycle. A promise to myself, as it were. You see, unlike you, I was on the scene the morning of Sept. 19, 1976, after Jesse Tafero shot and killed state trooper Phillip A. Black and his friend Canadian constable Donald Irwin. Irwin was unarmed. I will save you the description of the scene that morning, but it is indelible in my mind, as Tafero's execution obviously is in yours. Your murderer, you said, suffered for seven minutes. I cannot tell you the length of time it took Black and Irwin to die. Irwin was shot through the eye. Black was shot multiple times and had a stun gun used on him. Then the two were left to die on the pavement. I thought it more than a little curious that you did not mention those fine law enforcement officers in your article.
I realize the purpose of your article was to indict the electric chair, as well as to generate sympathy for the likes of Jesse Tafero. Yes, the death penalty involves death. Unfortunately, it is often the death of a law enforcement officer that initiates the process. I am somewhat surprised that you did not invoke that over-worn liberal word "deterrent" somewhere in your article. But then your essay was not against the use of capital punishment, only the barbaric electric chair. Well, I'm sorry that I cannot join your indignant outrage. If someone being electrocuted in the chair, God forbid, happens to get burned or suffer a nosebleed, so be it. One fact remains above all others; it was Jesse Tafero's choice.

I was setting up to do an all Vienna lager Friday and as always it's too early in the week to nail down a final recipe and I have a terrible habit of changing the bill all the time.
After reading an Xbeeriment about Vienna vs. Munich, where both at 100% were very good and flavorful, I was thinking I might do a 50/50 Pilsner/Barke Munich. I'm wondering if it would be too bready. I want to keep it around the 1.050 mark and "sorta" light. It also has to be a chuggable concoction.
As Ken would say I'm just noodling right now. You guys have any thoughts on this?

Two weeks ago I posted my letter to the Fremont Fire Department, and much to their credit, they are responsive to my complaint. The next day, I did receive the following email response:
Dear Ms. Shen,
Thank you for contacting me to express your displeasure with your recent experiences involving our Department and the Empire Montessori Preschool. I was saddened to learn of your disappointment because our relationship with the community we serve is of paramount importance to us. Please be assured that we will look into this matter fully and immediately. To that end, I spoke to Deputy Chief Jim Martin who heads our Operations Division first thing this morning and tasked him with reviewing the matter. The Fremont Fire Department is committed to strong community partnerships and fire safety education and we take that role very serious. Please allow Chief Martin a few days to conduct his review and in the meantime, if you would like to speak with him directly please feel free to contact him at:
Deputy Chief Jim Martin
Again, thank you for taking the time to communicate with us.
Geoff LaTendresse, Fire Chief
Fremont Fire Department
A few days later, I did receive a call from Deputy Jim Martin who explained to me their policy. Deputy Martin did acknowledge that the new fire captain should have suited up and felt that there was a miscommunication when coordinating with the preschool director. However, he was quite firm about the fire department policy about not presenting to children under age 5 due to lack of resources.
Deputy Martin indicated that while the Fremont Fire Department would not do presentation for children under age of 5, parents can take their children individually to fire stations. When I asked if the fire fighter might suit up and show the kids his gear, Deputy Martin said he is not sure. I let him know that I am keen on teaching kids fire safety myself but the one thing that I cannot do as a parent is to suit up in fire gear and show kids not to be scared of that in a fire. To that Deputy Martin said that he might try to pass along the idea of an open house event in the future.
In response to our conversation, I sent the following final email to sum up our conversation:
Hello Deputy Chief Jim Martin,
Thank you for having taken the time and effort to have an in-depth conversation today over the phone. I appreciated your thoroughness in investigating the incident that I complained about in my previous letter, and I also greatly appreciated the good conversation we had. I learned a good deal about the realities that the Fremont Fire Department faces. It was enlightening and I am glad I had the opportunity to learn as a Fremont citizen.Thank you also for sharing with me about the Learn Not to Burn program — I looked it up and the website had some good information worthy of sharing!
While I understand that there is no education department within Fremont Fire Department, I would like to share a few statistics that I have learned about in children age 0-5 and fire safety:
According to FEMA studies released in 2011, children ages 0-5 have the highest fire death rates among children of all ages and have the highest relative risk of dying in a fire when compared to older children. Children account for 15% of all fire deaths; children younger than 5 made up 52% of fire deaths among those 16 and younger. Fire and burns were the third-leading cause of accidental deaths, after transportation accidents and drowning, for children younger than 15 in 2007.
"U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) encourages parents to teach children at an early age about the dangers of fireplay in an effort to prevent child injuries, fire deaths and firesetting behavior in the future."
Children ages 0-14 and under make up 15% of all fire deaths.1
Fifty-four percent of all child fire deaths occur to those under age 5.1 These children are usually unable to escape from a fire independently.
Researchers found that deaths among the youngest of children increased 2% from 2004 to 2007…
What's most distressing, says Mark Shriver, chairman of the National Commission on Children and Disaster, is that "we're trending upward. … It's not getting better."
Little kids can't get out by themselves — they need to be rescued. This is why it is important for children to learn to trust and not be afraid of first responders at an early age. This is why I thought that having the children see the full fire suit would help them learn not to be afraid of a guy in a mask with an axe when they need to be rescued — that is something that I as a parent cannot do on my own.
I am not sure what process the department goes through in consideration of the internal policies, but I hope that education can become a greater priority in the department's interaction with the community public. At the very least, I hope that Fremont Fire Department can work on providing more information and education to the public creatively that will target those under age of 5. Fire Station Open Houses, information and lessons provided via the website, and education targeting parents and teachers of young children can all contribute. Mr. Martin has indicated that experience has taught the department that teaching kids under age 5 is not effective compared to teaching children 5 and older. It is true that children under age of 5 has shorter attention span and greater need of repetition, and if the Fire Department does not have the priority and the resources to provide the education directly, then parents and teachers need to be given the tools as much as possible. I noticed in the Events section there is a Personal Emergency Preparedness class in October — perhaps similar events for children can be made available?
I am looking forward to getting more information on the text of the internal policy on public relations activities as it applies to children and any available educational resources to disseminate to other parents of preschoolers that I know in Fremont. October, Fire Prevention Month, will be right around the corner!
Irene Shen
Deputy Jim Martin sent the following response:
It was good speaking to you yesterday as well. As the Chief mentioned, we are committed to strong community relationships and public education. I have included a couple of Fire Safety links that you can share that may be helpful for you to share with all ages. Input like yours is appreciated, and evaluation of our current internal guideline on Public Relations Activities (PRA's) will surely be reviewed. We are always striving to look at and consider new ideas and improved methods, while remaining within our budgetary constraints. With that being said, I have already had a conversation with our Assistant Fire Marshall on the issues you raised. Additionally, the Fire Prevention Division has several very good educational Fire Safety videos that can be loaned to the public. Please let me know if you have an interest in obtaining any of these. The Asst. Fire Marshall had suggested the NFPA website below, and also wanted me to relay that we are already considering educational improvements to our website.
City Website:
National Fire Protection Association:
Here is an excerpt of guidelines we have in place for Fire Station Tours.
"In addition to showing the kids the different apparatus that we use, try to insert a few safety
tips as well. Put one child in the seat and buckle them in. Talk about seat belt safety and
emphasize that even firefighters always wear their seatbelts.
When showing them our turnout gear, use the helmet as a prop to discuss the subject of
bicycle helmets and how important they are. However, do not put the helmet on a child's
head as their neck may not be strong enough to support the added weight of a helmet
without injury.
Put on your turnout gear, including the S.C.B.A. and mask. This is especially important with
younger children, as the clothing and sounds may frighten them. Explain that this is what
we'll look and sound like if we ever come to rescue them in a fire, and that they shouldn't
be scared."
Our guidelines for PRA's currently are used by the Administrative Assistant who handles the PRA's, and does not live within a policy. It is used as a guideline so that PRA's are handled with consistency, and are effectively communicated to the field personnel that then are assigned and responsible for the presentation. Some of the guidelines followed that I relayed in our conversation are:
1. No Children under Kindergarten Age
2. 2-3 weeks advance notice
3. No more than 30 children
4. No Cost
5. Receptionist may schedule up to 3 activities per month per shift and station
I hope that this information is helpful, and can ultimately be a benefit to the children and citizens here in Fremont. Thank you again for your input.
Jim Martin
Deputy Fire Chief, Operations
Fremont Fire Department
In sum, I did learn a lot about the resources or lack thereof in my new city, and a whole lot about safety. I know that as a parent I took the availability of fire safety presentations for children by fire departments for granted, and that it is increasingly unavailable in many municipalities. As parents, we must take proactive steps to teach children what to do in an emergency, much as we take proactive steps to buy life insurance, write a living will, or even install a car seat.
While I am disappointed that Fremont Fire Department could not do more for our most at risk children, I am glad that they have at least taken the time to hear me out. Hopefully, other parents in Fremont might find this something worth voicing their opinions about as well.
On July 16th, I kicked off a series of emails with the Fremont Police Department's Community Engagement when I attempted to help my preschool get the kids a few child safety presentations from Fremont Police Department and Fremont Fire Department. I was surprised by how difficult this exercise turned out to be. I have still yet to obtain any results yet but I will not be giving up yet. At the very least I hope to understand why it is not possible.
Here are the emails that went back and forth:
July 16, 2013:
I was wondering if the Fremont Police Department might be able to find time and visit some preschoolers and do a small presentation? My son attends Empire Montessori Preschool and I am looking to arrange for a school visit — I know this would make so many kids there very happy! I know that the school director would love this for the kids.
Please contact me and let me know how we might arrange this.
Thank you,
Hi Irene,
We only do school visits for elementary school age children. We just don't have the staffing resources to accommodate all of the preschools in town.
Hi Geneva,
I am not asking for you to visit all the preschools in Fremont. I am only requesting it on behalf of the preschool that my kids go to. I thought that it is important to teach children at a young age what policemen do and to respect them. It is a shame that there isn't any room for even a 20 minute presentation?
Who may I speak with about this? Who can I write to to lobby for this?
Please advise.
Thank you,
I am the Public Affairs Manager for the Department and the community engagement programs are in my area of responsibility. I understand that you are asking us to visit just your school, but as you can imagine a lot of people in town would like the same treatment. We have to be fair in the services we provide and as an agency we only have the capacity to handle school presentations for early elementary age children. While I agree 100% that it is very important to interact and educate children at a young age, our experience is that five years of age or kindergarten is when kids are more receptive to the presentation. If we make an exception for one preschool, then we have to do the same for all.
We apologize and appreciate your understanding.
Geneva Bosques
Public Affairs Manager/PIO
Fremont Police Department
I was just informed that while I can't offer a presentation, we can send a volunteer with a patrol vehicle. They would simply just park the car and let the kids look at and sit in the vehicle. They would turn on the lights, siren and explain the equipment.
If this sounds like something that you'd like, let me know and we can get this set up.
After that exchange, I was pretty excited — something is better than nothing! I then got the preschool director in touch with the department, but then ball was dropped from there and the school director never got any confirmation of when they can get the volunteers to come out. So a month later, on August 15th, I sent this email:
Hi Geneva,
What does Fremont Police Department offer in terms of education for children younger than elementary school age? As an individual parent should I bring the kids to tour the police department to teach them about the police? Is there any videos that are provided?
Previously we lived in Castro Valley, where the police seems to be a bit more available to preschool presentations. What are the resources available to me as a resident and a concerned parent who would like to teach my children about the helpers and first responders?
I then received an out of office autoreply from Geneva's email account directing me to email other people. I emailed the others she recommended getting in touch with an received even more out of office auto replies.
But a day later, I did get a response:
August 16, 2013
Hi Irene,
The Department doesn't really have any education programs for children with the exception of child safety talks for kindergarten and first graders. In 2003 virtually all of our education programs, including DARE were cut when we lost more than 50 positions.
We do offer building tours to organized groups of children, preschool is usually still on the young side, but we would accommodate your request. The tour is conducted by a volunteer and is more focused on the building itself and less about child safety. Your children would likely be able to meet officers who are in the building during the tour.
My secondary recommendation would be to attend an event where we have officers present. We will have officers at this weekends Festival of India and the Niles Antique Faire later in the month.
I can look next week when I return to the office to see if we have any videos on child safety. If we do, you would be more than welcome to borrow them.
You are very lucky that Alameda County Sheriff's Office still provides child education programs in the Castro Valley area. Fremont unfortunately is one of the lowest staffed agencies in the nation and while we are beginning to add back positions it will be some time before we are able to provide the programs we had prior to 2003.
Let me know if you'd like us to schedule a tour and I will check on the video.
To which I responded with this, and cc'd the police chief and city manager:
Dear Ms. Geneva Bosque,
It is well recognized by many experts that the first 5 years of life is most important and provide the base for the brain's organizational development throughout life. Children need to learn who they can trust, well before the age of 5. Recently events in the news and the fact that there are many parents in this community who do not have other family members living in close proximity makes this an important lesson for young children, especially those younger than 5. It is important for young children to understand that in an emergency, when parents are not available, they can be comfortable with the role of the police officer as a community helper, and that he/she can be trusted to help them.
I understand that you are just doing your job to enforce the policy (that you had nothing to do with creating) of no presentations for children under the age of 5, but telling me now that I am a resident and home owner citizen of Fremont that I was lucky to have been in Castro Valley makes me a bit sad, since I do live here now. Even before buying a house and moving to Fremont I have been studying up on the city; since our correspondence I have even read the city's budget for 2012-2013 as posted on Fremont.gov. While I am aware that Fremont Police has lost 52 positions in 2003, my reading of more recent news leads me to believe that more officers have been added back since and budget has been increased for 2013 for more hiring. I do understand that with 185 current full time police officers, the officer to resident ratio of 0.85 is still below average, but community services such as child safety education does not necessarily need to be performed by full time police officers.
I was quite excited to have moved into a proper city (which is ranked the #2 safest city in the country) from an unincorporated area, and I am sad to discover that Fremont Police Department does not recognize that children under age of 5 as a valuable part of the community and the importance of acquainting young children with community helpers. Yes, young children have short attention spans, which means that short presentations with show and tell props like police car and police dogs can help make things interesting. I would be happy to bring my children in to the police station on my own but for preschools it tends to be more difficult to transport a large group of children to the police station. Plus, as you mentioned the focus is more on the building, which is not as important a lesson to teach the children as actual safety and interaction with officers. It is important that young children understand that in an emergency, police officer are community helpers that can be trusted to help them.
I know that few people have the interest to speak on behalf of preschool children, but I am quite serious and passionate about teaching about community helpers in early childhood. There are few things I consider more than the safety of my young children and I believe their ability to communicate with and trust a police officer can save their lives and the lives of others. It is better to teach the kids how not to be abducted than to have to look for them after they are lost; it is better to teach kids how to call 911 and get help than to deal with the aftermath of their helplessness. I hope that a city as innovative and resourceful as Fremont will be able to come up with some creative solutions for its youngest citizens to learn that a police officer is your friend.

I don't know what will happen from here. Perhaps we will be able to get a volunteer to finally come out, but I definitely want to understand the no presentation under age 5 policy. Hopefully I will have more updates to follow. It's not easy to be an active and concerned citizen!
As a testament to the power of social media, when I published this post, it autoposted to my Twitter and Google+ account and within the hour I received the following email in my inbox:
Hi Irene,
I spoke to Ms. Eva yesterday who I believe is the director at your Montessori school. She let me know that our volunteers came out yesterday for the vehicle show and tell presentation, but that there had been a communication mishap, so she asked if they could leave and come back another time. We are working to see if we can get two volunteers to return next Friday and will confirm that with her once we have made the arrangements on our end.
As for continuing the conversation about education and options such as building tours, videos, etc., please call me directly at 790-6957 to discuss this further.

Gym with Child Care in the East Bay
I never really liked gyms before I became a mother but once I became a mother, I needed to have a gym so I can workout. There are a few reasons for this. My body changed once I became a mother. I rarely had trouble with my weight before my children but after giving birth I had weight issues. I also lost a lot of freedom in terms of having the time and the leisure to just do things when I please, so routine became very important. While self-care is important, my children became the most important things in the world to me, and I had to find a way to make sure that they were well taken care of while I take care of me.
I started a fitness blog to keep myself accountable but I decided to post this review of East Bay gyms here on my personal blog. I had posted an article about gym child care in general but this is a bit more specific. Those who know me might wonder why I do not post this to Yelp. While I do enjoy posting reviews on Yelp, it felt to me to be less appropriate a place for this kind of a post because I didn't become a member at all the gyms I have checked out and tried, though I did post a review for the place I did end up at and are quite happy with. Secondly Yelp has started to feel less like a good place for review with their filtered reviews. Although given my Yelp status it is not too likely that my reviews will get filtered out, I felt that my experience with the gyms is more personal so my personal blog would be the best place to post it.
So here is a run down of all the gyms I have checked out and my thoughts on their facility with the point of view from a mother with young children, focused on child care facilities:
24 Hour Fitness
This is obviously the most popular of all gyms and they have different levels of gyms from"Active" to "Super Sport." I actually checked out several different 24 Hour Fitness locations in the East Bay. Obviously the Super Sport tends to have more features like swimming pool, steam, and sauna, but the place in general is not kid-friendly because other than the child care room. Kids are not allowed anywhere else. Obviously kids should not be on the fitness floor, but I found the check in and check out process a bit painful since only one parent is allowed to be checking in or checking out their kids at one time. This can be a major issue when children are acclimating to the new environment. In one instance, I was called in after 5 minutes on the machine because my younger child was crying. My 3 year old was playing happily, so I left him alone, but I found myself stuck with nowhere to go. The only place for me to be was right outside the child care room. There was no cafe or lounge to hang out and be at. I could take my child for a walk in the parking lot, but that is obviously not desirable for safety reasons. The childcare room itself was adequate and even equipped with with child-sized toilets and a changing table room, but the room is one big room with all ages lumped together. They do mind the staff to children ratio but the staff often are not tending to the children but talking amongst themselves. I had reasons to suspect that they don't deal with kids too well since I was called in after merely 5 minutes away.
The information on Bally's website is quite limited, so you actually have to call each club and go check it out for more information. There are not too many Bally's located in East Bay, but the child care facility is somewhat limited compared to the others in terms of hours of availability. Much like Bay-O-Vista, child care is only offered 8am to 1pm, then 4:30pm to 9pm. Like ClubOne, you have to call and make a reservation. The child to staff ration is 12:1, so it is adequate. Bally's doesn't necessarily really have a pool facility in most of its locations in the East Bay, with the exception of the location in San Leandro.
Bay-O-Vista Swim and Tennis Club
Bay-O-Vista is the first gym with child care I had put joined as a new mother. I didn't know anything back then, but we did join for the nice pool facility, which included a kids pool. My son loves to swim, so that was a major reason for us to join. My major gripe with the place has to do with the inadequate child care — bad staff to children ratio, general safety and cleanliness of the child care room, and lack of policy. Please read my Yelp review for more details.
ClubOne in Oakland City Center was recommended to me as one of the better places with child care. That may be true, but the club's membership system is clearly designed for singles and couples. There is no family membership offered and the child care there is expensive, at $4 per hour per kid. On top of that, you have to make a reservation the day before you show up to workout at the gym. What is good is that they have excellent staff to children ratios, and "Playcare" offers the children activities, not just a place to hang while you work out. I have been told by acquaintances that their child care for young toddlers is excellent, but it was too far away from where I live to actually be useful especially with all the reservation requirements. We did not join, but it might work really well for someone who work and live close to Oakland.
There are several ClubSport out there, and most of them are affiliated with each other, but not all are. ClubSport San Ramon is independent of ClubSport in Fremont, Pleasanton, and Walnut Creek. ClubSport in Fremont, Pleasanton, and Walnut Creek are owned by Leisure Sports, Inc.
Each ClubSport is slightly different in layout in terms of the child care room. The facility is like a spa and geared toward moms, and Kids World takes children ages 6 weeks and up. Some clubs' kids activities are geared toward ages 7 or older, but some do have activities for younger kids as well. Generally the child care is more organized, and children are lead through productive activities as well as allowed free play.
ClubSport San Ramon
I joined ClubSport San Ramon as a member and my children and I have been very happy at this facility. As I have previously mentioned, this facility is independent of the other ClubSports in the area, so the membership isn't good anywhere else. The cost of membership is a lot like the other ClubSport facilities, but I found the child care staff and facilities to be friendly to the younger children. In fact, they have many activities and classes for children ages 3 and up. There is a baby room, a bigger room for children ages 1 to 6, and another room for children ages 7 and older. There is an entrance for child care, which helps to cut the chaos and makes it safer when you are juggling multiple children. If you want to read more detailed review of ClubSport San Ramon, check out my Yelp post.
If you have any gyms that have great child care, please share it with me!
From WOHM to Unemployed SAHM
A year ago today on September 1st, 2010, I was laid off from my job as a Director of Product Development for ZipRealty. Though I consider myself lucky, the transition for me from being a working mother to a stay at home mother has not been an easy one. I always knew about the motherhood penalty, but to experience it since I went on maternity leave was quite something else.
I was laid off the same week I found out that I was pregnant. It was early, so this is not news that I had mentioned, but being my second pregnancy, I started to show pretty quick. To make matters worse I had not completely lost all the baby weight that I had gained from my previous pregnancy, so I definitely looked pregnant. I was getting a lot of interviews and constantly busy, but I was pretty stressed out. I had to give our nanny notice, only just after we were getting into a good place with childcare. After several pretty intense interviews where I went on second and third round, I was still getting nowhere even though I was interviewing once a day on average when phone interviews are counted. Job searching when you have a young child is very difficult — I had to scramble to find childcare and it was also expensive. Going on interviews, especially ones that lasted all day, became very draining financially, and it was also draining on my positive energy when I encountered interviewers who are less than ethical, professional, or kind.
Almost a month later, my husband was also laid off from his job, which made me more stressed out. My health insurance now had an expiration, and given my condition, it would be pretty hard to get health insurance otherwise. It was also difficult to juggle two job seeking schedules and make sure our son was looked after. We had to coordinate our phone and in-person interviews closely, and neither of us was able to say yes immediately to a particular time offered. My husband, being the great husband that he is, told me to slow down and not get so stressed out about looking for a job. He wanted me to have a more relaxed pregnancy and we needed to change up our job search strategy — I would slow down the pace of my job search while he full throttled his. We worked by placing his job search as the higher-priority goal. He was thus able to find a better job than he had before, just in time before the health benefits run out.
I was always organized but being a SAHM took that to a new level for me. Being a good mother required that I become more flexible and go with the flow. I learned to really separate the "urgent" from the important. When recruiters or potential employers don't get back to me, I don't dwell on it and ask myself why. Instead, I am glad that they did not waste my time from my children and my stash by dragging me through long interviews that forces me to go all day without food and pay out the nose.

Plus Size Sulley Costume
There's two schools of thought when it comes to Sulley. To some, like monsters living in Monstropolis, he's the scariest thing they've ever seen and the best scarer at Monster's Inc. To others, like Boo, he's just a big kitty. Here at HalloweenCostumes.com we like to think of Sulley as something in between. What's scarier than a giant blue and purple polka dotted monster with huge fangs? Not a whole lot! On the other hand, he is just a big fuzzy monster with purple polka dots and pleasant blue fur… we can't decide! Let's just say he's kinda of scary, but also kind of adorable. Become Sulley for yourself with this awesome costume and you too just might be an honor student at Monster's University. Goooo MU! BOO Scary Tech.

Background information on Glenn Anderson
Glenn M. Anderson was born in the South Bay area of Los Angeles and always considered the region his home. As young man, Anderson turned an early interest in motorcycles and racing into an automobile repair business, then branched into home construction, helping to establish the Hawthorne Savings and Loan when big banks proved indifferent to local needs. Although his parents were Republicans, Anderson was active in the Democratic Party during the Depression, becoming a member of the Los Angeles Democratic County Central Committee in 1938. From 1939 to 1940, he chaired the Hawthorne Democratic Club and was a member of the Hawthorne City Council. In 1940, Anderson was elected Mayor of Hawthorne (one of the youngest mayors in the country), and immediately sought to bring additional resources to his community. Anderson successfully obtained a WPA water filtration system, a seawall, and, ultimately, an airstrip with which he attracted Northrop Aviation to the area. Anderson was elected to the California State Assembly in 1942, resigned in 1943 to serve in the U.S. Army, and returned to the Assembly in 1945. He shared a desk--and early commitments to civil rights and the environment--with Gus Hawkins, one of the first African American legislators in California. While in the Assembly, Anderson supported transportation and fair housing legislation, as well as measures to outlaw school segregation and to establish institutions of higher education. Between 1949 and 1950, Anderson chaired the Interim Committee on Highways, Streets and Bridges, which developed a statewide system of highways five years before the federal highway project.
In 1950, Anderson gave up his Assembly seat to challenge State Senator Jack Tenney, California's version of Joseph McCarthy, losing by a very small margin. Between 1951 and 1958, Anderson held no elected office, but continued his efforts to strengthen the historically weak California Democratic party. He served as chair of the Los Angeles County Central Committee (1948-1950), Head of the State Central Committee (1950-1952), and was instrumental in the California campaigns of Adlai Stevenson and John F. Kennedy. In January 1953, Anderson and future U.S. Senator Alan Cranston founded the California Democratic Council (CDC), a statewide network of grassroots clubs. Mrs. Lee Anderson was also an important participant in this effort. The resultant support base helped Anderson win the lieutenant governorship in 1958, while Pat Brown became California's Democratic governor. Anderson served on a number of important state commissions as part of his duties, while many of his other projects reflected his ongoing interests in the environment, transportation, and education. During the 1966 election, Republicans Ronald Reagan and Robert Finch used Anderson's support for the University of California and his controversial handling of the Watts riot during Brown's absence from the state to defeat Anderson's re-election campaign.
Anderson successfully ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1968, serving until his retirement in 1992. The bulk of the material in the collection is from this period. During Anderson's tenure in Congress, he sat on the Committee on Public Works and Transportation (briefly as chair), and on the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries. Congressman Anderson was noted for his ability to remain in close touch with the needs of his constituency, both personally and in terms of bringing important benefits to the area. In the first case, Anderson and his staff fielded a tremendous number of requests for help from his constituents when they ran into trouble with government agencies such as the Social Security Administration, the Armed Forces, the Veterans Administration, and the Internal Revenue Service. More generally, Anderson was instrumental in obtaining a number of major infrastructure development projects. For example, his determined advocacy resulted in the transformation of the combined ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach into one of the largest in the world. He helped establish major flood control programs, the Alameda Corridor project, and was so instrumental in the construction of the 105 freeways that it now bears his name. A number of other projects have also been named for Glenn Anderson in tribute to his dedication and service. Glenn Anderson died in 1994.

Awesome but I'm waiting for the pimp and pusher patches.
Too cool! But it burns a lot of processor power just when you need it most.
I'm still running a P-III/800MHz in my desktop DAW. I'd like to see a 'Rock Video Bimbos' or 'Strippers' module that has the combined effect of three visitors and disables the 'Respect for', 'Fear of', and 'Ex-band member' filters to limit the load on the processor.
I heard that the high processor hit of these plug-ins are what necessitated Apple's move to Intel processors!
Be sure to check out the other two plug-ins listed at their home page:
Finally I can get the performance I always wanted, the sound you can only get when you have a label guy, a Ninja, Bea Arthur and Jim Croce in the control room.
That's some funny stuff, thanks for sharing!

In our school children are taught Spanish through years 3 to 6. They are given the opportunity to appreciate spoken and written language using a variety of sources. Children are taught to speak with confidence and fluency using correct intonation and pronunciation. They are also taught to write using correct grammatical structures. Children are encouraged to appreciate and enjoy stories, poetry and song in the target language.
Learning a language deepens children's understanding of the world and equips them with the tools to succeed in later life. It also encourages them to think about and appreciate other cultures around the world.
