On World Book Day we will also be revealing to pupils the vast quantity of new books that PTAFA have funded for our recently updated School Library. The PTAFA are running an event which will, for the cost of £3, give families the chance to have their child’s or family’s name on a book plate which will be stuck into the inside cover of a new library book chosen by their child. The PTAFA sent out a letter about this yesterday. I hope that many families will be eager to join in! A big thank you goes to parent Liz Vaughan for designing the book plate and a new PTAFA logo…soon to be revealed!

The title of our CD comes from a concert that we played in the beautiful gardens of St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in Barnstable Village, on Cape Cod, MA in the summer of 2008.
1. Cornish Medley – This consists of three traditional Cornish tunes: “The Pretty Maid,” “Trelawny,” and “The Seige of Malo.” Arranged for harp trio by Thom Dutton.
Cornwall comprises the South West penninsula of Britain, and is sometimes mistakenly labeled as part of England. The Cornish language is related to Welsh and Breton, and more distantly to the other Celtic languages. While Cornish seemed to have died as a language, the 20th century has seen a strong revival among those hoping to preserve the language and the culture.
2. Suo Gân – This is a traditional Welsh lullaby, and in fact, the title means “lullaby”. Arranged for harp trio by Nancy Hurrell, and used by kind permission. Welsh is the native language of Wales, a small country on the West coast of the isle of Britain, across the Celtic Sea from Ireland. The Welsh language is closely related to Breton and Cornish, is spoken daily by many thousands of people, and in fact, is showing signs of growth in number of speakers. Welsh, along with English, are the official languages of Wales.
3. Welsh Memories – This arrangement by Shari Pack includes the well-known tunes “Ash Grove,” “Bells of Aberdovey,” and “All Through the Night.”
4. Breton Medley – Arranged for harp by Thom Dutton, includes four traditional tunes from Brittany: “Penn-Herez Keroulaz” (The Heiress of Keroulaz), “Triste Menage” (The Sad Family), “Danse des Avocats” (Dance of the Lawyers), and “A Paris Y’a Une Dame” (In Paris there is a Woman). Brittany is the North West penninsula of France, just South of Cornwall. In fact, Breton and Cornish, as well as Welsh, are closely related languages. The Breton language has been undergoing a strong revival for decades now, however it is the only living Celtic language that does not enjoy the status of official language in its region. Much of the revival is due to the efforts of the Breton harper Alan Stivell.
5. Manx Medley – Arranged for harp by Charles Guard. We have taken two of the tunes in Mr Guard’s “Manx Music for the Irish Harp” book, and with his permission, connected them. They are “The Flitter Dance” and “Lhigey, Lhigey.” According to his notes, “The Flitter Dance” was a traditional dance performed on Good Friday at the shore. “Lhigey, Lhigey” means “galloping” off to market and courting the girls there. Many will recognize the similiarities between “Lhigey, Lhigey” and the traditional Irish tune “The Rakes of Mallow”. Here, “rake” is used in the sense of “A fashionable or stylish man of dissolute or promiscuous habits.” (Oxford English Dictionary Online). One can surmise what the intentions were when seeking women to court at market!
6. Miss Murphy – An Irish tune arranged for harp trio by Nancy Hurrell. Written by the famous blind harper Turlough O’Carolan (1670-1738) for an unknown patron. Many of Carolan’s songs have words in Irish (Gaelic), though this one does not. Irish is still spoken, especially in the West of Ireland, and is closely related to (Scots) Gaelic and Manx.
7. Danny Boy – A lament. Also known as Londonderry Aire. Arranged by Thom Dutton.
8. Galician Medley – Galicia is the North West penninsula of Spain. Though not officially a Celtic country, there is still heavy Celtic influence there in the music and culture. Many linguists argue that the Celtic elements of the language of Galicia are what influenced Portugal, directly its South, and differentiated it from Castillian Spanish. Even the name “Galicia” is linguistically similar to “Gal/Gaul/Celt”. Galician is a Romance Language (derived from Latin/Rome) spoken by the inhabitants of Galicia today. The two tunes here, arranged by Thom Dutton (acquired courtesy of Andras Corban Arthen) are “Tu, gitana” and “Aotearoa”. The first is sung by a man (presumably) to a gypsy fortune teller and asks her to foretell what may become of him in his upcoming adventure. The second is a Galician tune, but the name is the native Maori name for New Zealand. One must assume that it was composed by Gallegos visiting that part of the world.
The last four tunes on the CD are all from Scotland, and are arranged for harp by Nancy Hurrell. Scotland, of course, is home to the Scots Gaelic language, related to Irish (Gaelic) and Manx.
9. Braes of Locheil – A haunting Gaelic love song.
I shall go, why should I not?
To the pasture of the cows where a girl sings sweetly,
To the Braes of Locheil where the deer is belling…
10. Ca’ the Yowes – (Call/Drive the ewes to the knolls) A poem by Robert Burns set to beautiful, haunting music. Thom Dutton, tenor.
11. Aran Boat Song – The origins of this song are uncertain, and is said to come from the Scottish Isle of Arran or the Isles of Aran. Boat songs were often used to set the pace while rowing or traveling. Though with this song, getting lost in a daydream is much more likely than rowing across a channel!
12. June Apple – This is a fun reel (dance tune) that ends all of our concerts.


How can anyone believe in Jesus?
Gary Williams, takes a shot at answering 10 common arguments against Christianity, with the help of the Bible, histories, commentaries and other sources.
Is there historical evidence to support what the Bible says about Jesus? Are the authors of the four New Testament authors unknown as some say or is there strong evidence to support the names given to them in the Bible? What is “Q” and what role should it play in how you understand the Bible?Are the Gospels reliable; are there historical documents that support their content? These questions and more are found in the following essay.


Reading and writing are embedded as part of our interdisciplinary humanities program in the Middle School. Teachers provide many opportunities for students to engage in analytical reading and model strategies for reading comprehension and analysis. Students express themselves creatively within the social studies content and beyond it. Throughout the sixth through eighth grade years, students write poetry, personal narratives, literary essays, research papers, and short stories. The emphasis of the curriculum is on encouraging middle schoolers to take ownership over all aspects of the writing process. Vocabulary development and the rules of spelling and grammar are incorporated into lessons; students are encouraged to recognize the importance of self-editing. Students read fiction and nonfiction independently and in small groups, and share their thinking about reading with their peers.
Sixth graders examine character development across a wide range of literature. They compare and contrast themes in different genres such as poetry and short stories. Students expand their ability to converse about what they are reading through regular discussions and small book groups. Some of the novels that students may read: Amina’s Voice, The Kite Rider, Inquisitor’s Tale, and Crispin. Students work in genres such as essays and narratives, bringing new craft techniques and critical thinking skills to these forms. In addition, they make connections between their own family stories and those they are learning about.
In 7th grade students are introduced to the works of William Shakespeare and have the opportunity to enact scenes from his plays. They examine closely the use of language and experiment with writing in a similar style. Some other books that students may read: The Hate You Give, Chains, and The Giver. Their writing includes fiction as well as persuasive and informational pieces that provide students with a chance to do more in-depth integration of research-based evidence.
Eighth graders are able to employ a variety of literary techniques such as metaphors, variation in point of view, and comparison of themes across texts in their writing. They analyze complex texts and think about abstract themes in literature such as: how social norms affect character’s choices, or the ways in which characters find happiness in the face of adversity. They incorporate this analysis into both written and oral presentations. Some of the books students may read: The Diary of Anne Frank, Animal Farm, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Maus.
What are ways in which authors create characters who change over time?
What strategies can authors use to create a sense of identity for their characters?
How does a text reflect a set of cultural values?
How does the text rely upon or break cultural assumptions?
How can you use writing techniques to be persuasive?
Key Literacy Skills: Middle School
- Analyze an author’s point of view.
- Compare and contrast texts, themes, genres, points of view.
- Engage in collaborative conversations about texts by building on others’ ideas.
- Demonstrate understanding of figurative language, word relationships, and nuances in word meanings.

"The story touches on several key issues that children worry about - will their parents still love them, will they have two homes now, did they somehow cause the divorce, etc. The book also opens with a straightforward Note to Adults and ends with a list of questions that adults can discuss with children. Often books that do a good job of explaining divorce and separation are so focused on the child's point-of-view, that they don't offer any advice for the parents, caregivers, and teachers that are trying to help the child makes sense of it all. Family Changes avoids that problem and gives good guidelines for adults. I would recommend this book to parents and other family members, educators, and counselors."


The Northern Territory Library is located within Parliament House, at State Square in Darwin’s central business district. It is the Northern Territory’s major reference and research library responsible for collecting, preserving and providing access to the Northern Territory’s contemporary and pioneering history.
The library is open to all and provides a relaxed environment in which to not only peruse the print and electronic collections, but also catch up with events making headlines in international, state and local newspapers. On permanent display to the public are significant works from the library’s stunning collections, showcasing the Territory’s eclectic and unique culture, as well as national exhibitions and displays. The Northern Territory Library also offers events featuring writers, storytellers and artists.
The location of the building holds historical significance as it resides on the site of the original Post Office and Telegraph Station, which were both badly damaged by a Japanese bombing raid on 19 February 1942. The historic lobby contains remnants of a wall of the Post Office and other important memorabilia relating to the history of the Northern Territory and WWII.

Lady Emma is betrothed to wicked Sir Cutbert Cleever, and determined to avoid a marriage worse than death, she flees with her maid in tow. With the dastardly Sir Cutbert, the king’s tax collector, hot on their heels, the damsel and her maid disguise themselves as nuns and seek refuge in the Abbey of the Little Sisters of St. Meade. They quickly discover that the sisters have troubles of their own, with a jive-talking Mother Abbess and Sir Cutbert threatening to take over the abbey in payment of past taxes. Can the clever but cowardly tailor, Norman the Chickenheart, who has fallen for the lady, come to her rescue? Will Lady Emma’s radical suggestion to put on a show to raise the tax money help free the sisters from their plight? And will Mother Abbess ever talk like a proper medieval nun again?


Terms & concepts: strengthening care of ATSI peoples
29th Jul 2013
Towards a shared understanding of terms and concepts: strengthening nursing and midwifery care of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples – Congress of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nurses (CATSIN)
This documents scope and sole focus is the relationship between the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander person and the non-Indigenous nurse and midwife.
This document provides explanations of the words and concepts to help practitioner adhere to the Codes as they relate specifically to our provision of nursing and midwifery care to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities.
For example, what does cultural safety really mean? How do we know we practise it? How is it measured?
Wherever possible, original works have been quoted. Some of the terms are vague and imprecise and it is only when they are offered as conceptual frameworks that they have meaning.
The paper encourages the reader to consider the terms from all levels - of the individual nurse and/or midwife, of the health care organisation and of the health care system. Like issues such as bullying and sexual harassment, the individual needs the support of the broader institution and system to affect change.

I know this is way late but I read so many great books in July that I had to still document it somewhere.
Just As Long As We’re Together by Judy Blume was a “meh” for me. Probably 3 stars. It wasn’t bad at all but there was nothing great about it either. I wanted to try one of her books because I had heard good things for teenagers but I’m not dying to read another book or recommend this one even to my girls. I’m all about books that are entertaining AND add some great value/education/lessons and this book was pure fluff in my opinion.
The Sister Preachers was interesting, I definitely enjoyed it, but as with most Deseret Bookshelf books, I wouldn’t give it more than a 4 star. I highly recommend reading the book if you’re going to, I found the audio bothering me enough that maybe that’s part of why I didn’t LOVE the book? I don’t know exactly what it was for me. I felt pretty similar to Hannah. I did enjoy it and found it very interesting but sometimes hearing some of the characters sound like girls from this day and age through me for a loop at times. Strong 4 stars though because I did love the educational factor.
1776 is such a fascinating book. You have to love history to probably get super into it, it is not a story just straight facts but it was fun to listen to again. Recommend the audio for sure!
Now for the rest of the books: I LOVED THEM. The War I Finally Won, All the Lonely People, The Sun Does Shine, The Things We Cannot Say, Star Girl, America’s First Daughter and Rent Collector are all fantastic books that I highly recommend. We listened to Rent Collector – student edition as a family and we all loved it. FANTASTIC lessons and the kids would ask for us to turn it back on as soon as we got in the car…that’s always a good sign! All of these books were a perfect balance of educational, entertaining and inspiring. Highly recommend all of them!

|I have this thing for history. It fascinates me. It fascinates many people, I have been happy to discover. My love for history does not only focus on the big stuff. I mean, World War II fascinates me. But there is another side to that, and that is my obsession with the banalities of the daily lives of ordinary, boring folks such as myself. How did they go about the business of living? What did they wear? What did they eat? How did they cook? What did they use for dish soap? These are the questions that consume my thoughts far more than they should. I once ran into this little item in an antique store, and stood there and studied it for no less than 15 minutes:
You’ll notice that there are heating coils on only one side. That meant that the preparer had to turn the bread if they wanted it toasted on both sides.
Which got me to wondering, did people have toast before electric toasters?
Well yes, they did, by holding this thing over the fire, presumably while their eggs burned atop the wood-burning stove. I think we can safely assume that part of toast making involved the scraping of the black stuff off the toast with a butter knife.
To think, people back in the day had to use these labor-intensive methods just to make toast, and yet WE are the ones who claim to never have enough time.
Which brings me to this little gem of a cookbook.

There’s a lot that this cookbook can tell us. It’s more than just a collection of recipes. First, the back cover tells us about the two authors.
This is Theodora Zavin, also a book editor.
As you can see, this book was published in The Era In Which Employees Smoked At Their Desks (or in this case, 1963.)
And here we have Freda Stuart
evidently, a young, new mother. She had also worked as a book editor, but at this time, was a homemaker.
The book’s introduction tells us they were sisters-in-law, and in their desire to address the “5:45 scramble” of a working woman to bring dinner to the table, assembled a collection of recipes for which most of the preparation could take place the day before, so that but a few finishing touches remained before popping the meal into the oven. The recipes also include estimated preparation and cooking time for the night before and the day of, something I have always appreciated in any recipe. The prep time for either night never tops 30 minutes, and is typically more in the 15-minute range.
I particularly enjoy the preface to Chinese Beef and Peppers: “This recipe is offered with a slight apology because, unlike most in this book, it may require you to have your pre-dinner drink in the kitchen.”
I totally need to start having a pre-dinner drink.
There are some recipes in this book that certainly represent the tastes of a bygone era. There’s a whole chapter on veal dishes, and another on lamb. And then you will stumble across a recipe for preparing tongue, and another for oxtail. However, other recipes for curried meatballs or Chinese fried chicken or spicy shrimp dinner reflect an adventurous approach to cooking for that era, and certainly for a work night dinner of any era.
But even more than the treatment of food, what fascinates and delights me about this book is new insight into the lives of working women in the mid-century era. I have thought women in decades past were far more domestic than they are now, and that even those few who had begun venturing into the workplace at that time somehow managed to make it home and seamlessly take command of the kitchen, the children, and the house every evening. But perhaps to me, this business of managing our various roles looks effortless to anyone other than myself. But in truth, we ALL struggle. Even women in generations past labored to find ways to make it all work.
Certainly there are current resources for recipes available to us now. There are websites that will send automated emails to your inbox containing recipes for quick and healthy dinners, using trendy ingredients such as sun-dried tomatoes and feta cheese. For me the beauty of this book is that 49 years ago, these two ladies reached out to other ladies with support and advice, and they are still reaching out, even now, to let us all know that we’re all in the same boat, we are sisters, and we are all trying to do what working women – salaried or otherwise – have always tried to do: achieve balance. And that balance always seems to be fleeting temporary – you have it, and then you teeter, and then you have it again, until you don’t. But if we all support one another, have a laugh, and share ideas, somehow we are going to make it.
Tomorrow, I return with the recipe for apricot pork chops.

Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver starts with an engaging premise. “A certain feeling comes from throwing your good life away, and it is akin to rapture,” thinks Dellarobia Turnbow as she walks up the mountain behind her home for an illicit tryst with Jimmy, the sexy telephone lineman, a tryst that she knows will likely destroy her marriage and her reputation.
It is understood, dear fellow readers, that we would never do anything self destructive. No! Yet Dellarobia’s premise is strangely engaging. Think of Tristan and Isolde, Lancelot and Guinivere, or the more contemporary Rabbit Run by John Updike. The illicit relationship is fertile ground for narrative art despite or perhaps because of the risk of prurience. Our good angel cannot help but whisper into Dellarobia’s right ear as she walks up the mountain, “Don’t go through with this. You can still turn back.” But into her left ear our bad angel says, “Go ahead. If your life was so perfect you would never have arranged this sexcapade in the first place.”
And many examples of the imperfection of Dellarobia’s life present themselves as she walks up and down the mountain. The trees are in trouble, as they are in my neighborhood and worldwide. Her family’s roof is deteriorating and her house is surrounded by rotting orchards, gardens, and hay fields, the result of freakishly heavy rains, part of global warming, climate change, or weird weather, whatever you want to call it. But understand, dear fellow readers, that climate change, real or not, is never going to effect us!
But she turns back without meeting Jimmy. Why? Because she dimly sees what she later learns are vast multitudes of monarch butterflies in their continental migration. They hang from trees in dark brown clumps and fill the valley with what looks to her like orange fire. She’s frightened but also in awe before something wholly other, a veritable burning bush in her path.
“This was not just another fake thing in her life’s cheap chain of events… Unearthly beauty had appeared to her… For her alone…”
So she turns back and Flight Behavior becomes a didactic novel about climate change. Dellarobia is a snarky, funny, and insightful narrator, so seen through her eyes it does double duty as a bildungsroman. Biologist Kingsolver teaches us volumes about monarch migration and climate change with insightful sidebars about the influence of big oil, big media, farm economics, rural attitudes, contemporary mega churches, science and math in public education, and the unexpected relationship between the four stages of grief and climate change. Not to mention the funny sides of eco-activism and the absurdity of Christmas and grocery shopping while poor.
Our book club will doubtless sift through Flight Behavior chapter by chapter, but we’ll shield you from the spoilers here. Suffice it to say that Kingsolver’s characters make a compelling, seemingly inevitable narrative from what could have been a slog of a seminar. Great company, some of them, and must-to-avoid others, but all are fully 3D with sometimes surprising back stories and their own highly plausible reasons for whatever they do. However much you know or don’t know about climate change, this book will leave you, like Dellarobia Turnbow, a changed person.

The difference between learning a modern language and an ancient language is that in first year French you learn “Where is the bathroom?” and “How do I get to the train station?” and in first year Attic Greek or Latin you learn “I have judged you worthy of death” and “The tyrant had everyone in the city killed.”


Reading. It’s always been my favorite thing in the world. In elementary school, I learned to read using the Dick & Jane books. When we finished that program, we were allowed to move up to the SRA (Science Research Associates) reading system, which treated reading as a reward. I can still recall the stillness of the sun-splashed classroom as we all hurried to finish our assignments so that we could choose a reading card from the color-coded SRA box. It was a race to get to the gold level cards. Now, I can’t even remember if I made it; but I certainly remember the feel and the smell of those heavily laminated reading cards. I was in my element.
On my own, I read books like Silver Chief, Dog of the North, and The Black Stallion. Little Women made a huge impact on me, too. But I’ll never forget the weekend I stayed tucked up in my cozy attic bedroom reading the biography of Amelia Earhart. It was riveting. My tiny little room under the eaves was transformed into a cloud-shrouded cockpit barely big enough for Amelia and her navigator. I think it must have been the first time I’d read a biography just for fun.
As a teen, I gravitated toward spooky tales by Poe and Alfred Hitchcock. Then came thrillers such as Jaws, Rosemary’s Baby, The Omen, Harvest Home, and The Exorcist (scared the willies out of me, every one of them).
When I was given Nightshift, Stephen King’s first collection of short stories, I felt as if I had come home from being away.
I taught my daughter to read by reading to her every night. Her favorites were Little Golden Books. All of them. Now, she writes a very popular historical romance series (Sara Barnard) as well as children’s tales for her own little ones.
As a teacher, I built my 5th/6th grade classroom library with everything from Dr. Seuss to C.S. Lewis. But I think the novels Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen, and The Bridge to Terabithia, by Katherine Paterson, always got the best results. I recall one squeamish young lady asking me, in all seriousness, if we could change our reading time to after lunch—we were reading Hatchet—because some of the grosser scenes were stealing her appetite. Mind you, she didn’t want to stop reading, just not right before lunch.
And when we read The Bridge to Terabithia, even the most reluctant readers were captivated. I love reading with children. That’s why I wrote the Phantom Series. It isn’t for the faint of heart though. Just like my student wanting to change the reading period to after lunch all those years ago, I recently heard from one young reader who said she loved the Phantom Books, but she couldn’t read them after eight o’ clock, they were too scary.
I think that’s one of the greatest compliments I’ve ever received.

I’m starting to think about redesigning the front page of this site. At the end of this project, I’ll have 100 posts. I don’t expect that anyone will try reading all the posts. It’s a pool with green water and I wouldn’t expect anyone to dive into it.
However, if you arrive on this site through a specific post I’d like to make it easy to find similar posts. People might arrive on the front page to find out about this hundred posts in 100 days project. The front page should reflect the project as a whole. It should provide a compelling way to at least look through the titles and get a sense of what I was writing about. Then I can direct people to posts I think are generally most interesting.
Book stacks: A lot of posts are book notes. Hopefully, people read a book notes post and are interested in seeing other books I’ve read and written about. I want to make sure to handle this use case well. One idea I had was grouping related books that I’ve written notes on. One stack could be about Essentialism and Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up. That covers de-cluttering physically and mentally to focus deeply on important things.
This idea came from a time that I gifted a set of books to a friend. He was refocusing his career and I sent a few books that I read that I found helpful in the past couple years
Categories: Clearly not a groundbreaking idea. If I did categories, I’d like them to be presented in an interesting way.
Dated archive: There should still be some kind of dated archive to show the order that everything was written in. If I continue creating content beyond 100 posts, this would continue being a useful way to navigate the site.
Timeline: I really like this idea. Especially keeping in line with thinking the first hundred posts being a single collective thing. A timeline could create a good sense of what I was thinking at different times during the project. Even if I continue creating content for this blog, the first hundred can always stand as its own stand-alone project.

For every little thing that goes into a house, there are usually some rules or guidelines or standard methodology to follow.
I'd checked out Carpentry 3rd edition from the library and was reading Chapter 79 Application of Door Casings when surprise, surprise, it had a small bit about installing closet trim. It went into specific details such as using 1x5 stock for the shelf cleats, 1x12 for the shelf above the pole, hang the pole 64" from the floor and 12" away from the back wall. Gosh, I hadn't even thought about these kinds of details! Then while doing a search on pantry shelving (realizing maybe there are rules about this too!), I found these awesome closet design and installation articles.
It basically gave me all the standard dimensions for designing a closet, things like:
- Install double poles at 84" and 42"
- Put your very top shelf 84" off the floor and then you can install both double and single poles along one wall
- Shoes need 7" high shelves
- Cut shelf cleat 1/4" to 1/2" short from the front of the shelf, so it looks cleaner and neater
Great diagrams and photos too. We're going to be soooo organized! I hope :-)

“Brilliant! Absolutely Brilliant! One and all agreed that it was a most enjoyable afternoon - everyone keeping in the time period thru questions/comments. One person attending was later met walking in Lambertville for fear to go home would end the spell!”

Julia Says, “Bon Appetit!”
by Clay Teunis
Julia Child was an American cook, author and television personality who introduced French cuisine and cooking techniques to America. She was in the vanguard of “foodies,” who by changing America’s taste, helped create modern American culture. While her public face and voice became familiar to all of us, this play focuses on her private side – especially the relationship with her husband, Paul Child. Our play is a love story!
“After the show we went (in character) to Chez Panisse where we schmoozed with Alice Waters and chef Jean-Pierre Moule. It was one of the best nights I've ever had at Chez Panisse, when good food was not as serious as it has become. Of course, with "Julia" on my sleeve, how could I go wrong? Alice and Jean-Pierre were charming, totally into the theater, and Linda Kenyon was magnificent even without a script. The whole restaurant was into it.”
— L. John Harris
“Linda really IS Julia Child! The hair, makeup, dress, voice and demeanor-all of it. It really was amazing and so much fun to watch.”
— Betsy R. Graft
The Greatest Ever: Babe Didrikson Zaharias’ Story
by Maribeth Theroux
Born Mildred Ella Didrikson in Texas 1911, she became America’s greatest female athlete. She combined raw talent, hard work, and an unquenchable thirst for winning in a world in which women were not allowed or encouraged to be athletic, competitive, ambitious or to sweat. For us today, it is no “big deal” to have women competing in sports. Not many years ago, this was a revolutionary idea – and Babe led the revolution. In 1953, Babe was diagnosed with cancer. Until she died several years later, she publicized her condition, served as a spokesperson for The American Cancer Society, and raised millions for cancer research while competing as a golfer. Here again she was revolutionary, because cancer was “just not talked about” in the America of the 1950’s.

Reviews What readers say about The Seven Wonders of Washington State
Nick I just read this book for the 2nd time and enjoyed it even more. Anyone moving to the state of Washington or traveling to the state, this is a must-read. Not only does it highlight the key tourist attractions of the state, but just as importantly, the author explains in layman’s terms the geological processes that transformed this state into the beautiful state it is. I am a Physical Geography major in college, and the author answers all the questions I ask when I see a rock formation, waterfall, volcanic mountain, River Gorge, or Rain Forest. Great job, Mr. Frisk.
Ann 5 out of 5 stars Inspiration to explore Washington I never knew Washington state was so interesting. It has everything. You will find every type of landscape from sandy beaches to rugged mountains, from fertile farmland to almost Martian looking rock formations; all beautifully shown in Howard’s photographs. It really makes you want to get on the road and to explore.
Noelee 5 out of 5 stars Beautiful pictures and Fun tidbits of information! Being a true Washingtonian I thought I knew just about everything our state had to offer... I happily found out I was wrong. Howard's photos are absolutely amazing and the information is page-turning.
Terese 5 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Travel Guide!! I received this book as a gift, The Seven Wonders of Washington State, before recently traveling to Puyallup to visit family. What a wonderfully organized book, with beautiful pictures taken by the amazing Howard Frisk and narratives which certainly express a special love for the state. The uniqueness of this travel guide is that it is not another one filled with expensive tourist traps, but one which captures the breathtaking beauty of the state of Washington, and makes you want to concentrate on immersing yourself in its natural wonders. Mt. Rainer, Mr. St. Helens, and the Hoh Rain Forest are just 3 of the 7 Wonders, which will amaze you as they did me with a magnificence that is hard to capture in words. I am very grateful to have received this book and would highly recommend it to others. I will continue to recognize the work and particularly the talented photography of Howard Frisk. Thank you for this work of art.
Ana 5 out of 5 stars You want this on your coffee table! The comments read like an old friend is talking with you! The love for each place is so obvious and the photos are magnificent
Amy 5 out of 5 stars Hello Washington! I have lived in Washington State most of my life, but now I guess I had better get out and do some exploring! Mr. Frisk has captured the amazing beauty of living in the northwest corner of our country. Stunning photography and great commentary!
Camway 5 out of 5 stars Amazing discoveries & beautiful pictures We have lived in Washington for 20 years, explored a lot of the beautiful state, but we were amazed at the incredible secret wonders Howard shares in this book. His photography combined with descriptions make you feel you're actually there in person experiencing it. Amazing discoveries, beautiful pictures. THANK YOU!!!!!
Rose 5 out of 5 stars They draw you along on a pictorial tour of our beautiful state Howard's skill as an accomplished photographer is evident by his stunning photos in this book. They draw you along on a pictorial tour of our beautiful state. The short sections of interesting background facts for each "wonder" are concise and informative. They give the reader the feeling of having been on a personally guided tour without leaving home. My curiosity has been piqued by this book. My goal is to visit each "wonder' in person, thanks to Howard's beautiful book. Amazon Customer 5 out of 5 stars I would recommend this book I was given this book as a gift. I found it so very interesting and informative. The photography is exceptional, and as a reference book it had so many facts and so much fascinating information. The "WONDERS" were interesting areas to feature, as several are not known to many people, such as the Channeled Scablands, and the semi desert Palouse. I would recommend this book. It is a good guide book as well, offering where, when and how to capture the same views and experiences the author portrays. I will purchase this book as a gift for others, as it is a good introduction to Washington State in all of its glory.

The Essential Guide to Children and Family Law in Australia
It is often a sad and stressful time for parties when they separate. When children are involved the situation can become more upsetting and difficult to deal with.
Children are often described as the innocent victims of Divorce and this is always the case. However, the way in which parents react to and deal with their children post separation will have a major influence on their ability to cope with this traumatic time in their lives.


My bookcase is my little treasure, and I believe it's a treasure in every and any home. They say that if you want to have a picture of someone's personality and interests you just need to glance at their bookcase's shelves. I wonder what will happen in a few years, when e-books will deluge our everyday life. The practical , environmental and economical benefit of 2000 titles in one piece is undeniable, but will we accomplish better and more profitable reading? Umberto Eco claims that our traditional way of reading won't change, and that the reason for this is our own nature. The shape of a book is designed in a way that comfortably serves the human visual and tactile needs. It is not easy, indeed, to read from a screen, when compared to a leaf. Moreover, the reader himself misses one thing that way, the personal and emotional contact with the book (and indirectly with it's writer): he can't grab a pen and write notes, he can't fold a page, he can't feel a certain and characteristic smell...
Nowadays, record stores resemble antique shops; people rarely buy cds. Will we witness something similar with bookshops? Will books become luxury items? And from the educational point of view, how will e-books affect learning? Too many questions to answer, lots of aspects to think of.
We may have broadened our horizons in the music industry (we replaced walkmans with ipods, cassettes with tiny USB devices filled with countless mp3 files) but listening to music is different from reading. Reading demands a certain mental concentration, a certain psychological mood, that it is not always a given factor. Time will show how we will adjust to this change. Changes have always had their pros and cons anyway.
For the time being, I enjoy being a bookworm. I like dawdling people who read at the metro station, exchanging books with my friends and discussing about them.
I don't know if books are the most loyal friends in this world as they say, but they are always great windows and gates to other worlds. I'll give an example for those who have read Harry Potter (I have it recent because of the movie): Just think of how many Hogwarts sceneries have been created in our teenage minds before the movies were out and we could have a universal picture. Millions! And that's the power of human imagination after all :)

Why is it that the catholic Bible has books that the other Bibles don’t contain?
Fr. Francis' answer:
This is not correct. It is not the Catholic bible that has more books, but the Protestants decided to omit 7 of the Old Testament books.
When Martin Luther began the reformation and began to translate the bible into German, he wanted to go back to the original source. For the Old Testament, he assumed at the time that the oldest version would be in Hebrew, and that he should find it from the version used by the Jews. He discovered that the Jewish Torah has only 39 books and not the 46 books of the Catholic Church. The “extra” seven books were considered to be not trustworthy by the Jews. As a result, he omitted those seven books.
What he didn’t know, and couldn’t know at the time, was that at Jesus’ time, there were actually several versions of the Torah, most written in Hebrew, but especially one written in Greek, the so-called Septuagint translation, or LXX. The most widely used version at Jesus’ time was actually the LXX, which contains all 46 books. During the second century, when the Christian Church became more and more prominent and increasingly under persecution, the Jews and the Christians had a number of fallouts. The Jewish leaders decided to definitively separate themselves from any mis-identification with the Christians...
