My laptop has become a significant part of my life since becoming a Clemson student. I use it for my school work, to keep in touch with both old and new friends, and to distract myself from the many things that I need to get done. Needless to say, I have gotten to spend a lot of time with my computer these past few years.

CAMP HUMPHREYS —Volunteers from U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys participated in the Cheongdam Middle School English Village Program on March 5.
Chang Da Yeh, an eighth-grader at the school said, “This program is so wonderful because I can learn English, make some foreign friends and learn their culture. I only wish that the class could be a little longer. One to two hours is too short.”
Though still in middle school, Chang is already preparing herself for college and she said the English Village program is helping with that.
First Sgt. Kevin Campbell, senior enlisted Soldier in Headquarters and Headquarters Company, United States Army Garrison Humphreys, had high praise for English Village.
“I think it is an excellent program for American Soldiers,” said Campbell, who brought his son along so he could also participate.
Mildy Briones, a 11th grade student from Osan American High School said, “I love it because you work directly with the culture and with Koreans.”
Shin Jong Ah, a Cheongdam Middle School teacher said, “At first, I was doubtful if the students would participate, but many students want to be in the program. I am enjoying the program as well as the students. I am very happy that American volunteers work very hard and hope they can come back.”
The program was initiated in December 2009 and classes are held on the first and third Saturday of each month, To volunteer, or for more information, call 754-7652, or e-mail pom.tong.yu@korea.army.mil.

I meant to upload these pics alwhile ago. They are from the class I taught this summer here in Chicago. The dolls are made by my students ( the people in the pics).
Don't panic. Secure your towel. I will not harm your children.
For those that don't know me, I attended teacher's college last year. Decided not to start teaching right away, so I waited to pick up my official certification from the Ontario College of Teachers in hopes that the "Provisional" bit would disappear. It doesn't mean anything other than one provincial government not being entirely sure about a previous government's standardized test. It's bollocks anyway.
The paper work had been filled out for awhile, and the dues paid. They were mostly waiting for my transcripts to come in from the university. Whoo, official documents.

Thanks to Mimi for being such a good model.
Nicholas Ridley (c. 1500–16 October 1555) was an English Bishop of London. During the English Reformation, he was burned at the stake. He died among the Oxford Martyrs during the Marian Persecutions for his teachings and his support of Lady Jane Grey on 16 October 1555 in Oxford. Ridley is remembered with a commemoration in the Calendar of saints in some parts of the Anglican Communion on 16 October.
Ridley came from a prominent family in Tynedale, Northumberland, and was born c.1500. He was the second son of Christopher Ridley. The boy was educated at the Royal Grammar School, Newcastle and the University of Cambridge, where he received his Master's degree in 1525.[1][2] Soon afterward he was ordained as a priest and went to the Sorbonne, in Paris, for further education. After returning to England around 1529, he became the senior proctor of Cambridge University in 1534. Around that time there was significant debate about the Pope's supremacy. Ridley was well versed on Biblical hermeneutics, and through his arguments the university came up with the following resolution: "That the Bishop of Rome had no more authority and jurisdiction derived to him from God, in this kingdom of England, than any other foreign bishop." He graduated B.D. in 1537 and was then appointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, to serve as one of his chaplains. In April 1538, Cranmer made him vicar of Herne in Kent.
In 1540-1, he was made one of the King's Chaplains, and was also presented with a prebendal stall in Canterbury Cathedral. He was also made Master of Pembroke College. In 1543 he was accused of heresy, but he was able to beat the charge. Cranmer had resolved to support the English Reformation by gradually replacing the old guard in his ecclesiastical province with men who followed the new thinking.[3] Ridley was made the Bishop of Rochester in 1547, and shortly after coming to office, directed that the altars in the churches of his diocese should be removed, and tables put in their place to celebrate the Lord's Supper. In 1548 he helped Cranmer compile the Book of Common Prayer prayer book and in 1549 he was one of the commissioners who investegated Bishops Stephen Gardiner and Edmund Bonner. He concurred that they should be removed from office. As Cranmer's former chaplain, Ridley was translated from the minor see of Rochester to the then-vacant diocese of London in 1550. John Ponet took Ridley’s former position. Incumbent conservatives were uprooted and replaced with reformers.
On 2 February 1553 Cranmer was ordered to appoint John Knox as vicar of Allhallows Church in London placing him under the authority of Ridley. Knox returned to London in order to deliver a sermon before the king and the court during Lent after which he refused to take his assigned post.[12] That same year, Ridley pleaded with Edward VI to give some of his empty palaces over to the city to house homeless women and children. One such foundation was Bridewell Royal Hospital, which is today known as King Edward's School, Witley. [13] Edward VI became seriously ill from tuberculosis and in mid-June the councillors were told that he did not have long to live. They set to work to convince several judges to put on the throne Lady Jane Grey, Edward's cousin, instead of Mary, daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon and a Roman Catholic. On 17 June 1553 the king made his will noting Jane would succeed him, contravening the Third Succession Act.[14] Ridley signed the letters patent giving the English throne to Lady Jane Grey. On 9 July 1553 he preached a sermon at St Paul's cross in which he affirmed that the princesses Mary and Elizabeth were bastards. By mid-July, there were serious provincial revolts in Mary’s favour and support for Jane in the council fell. As Mary was proclaimed queen, Ridley, Jane’s father, the Duke of Suffolk, and others were imprisoned. Ridley was sent to the Tower of London.[15] Throughout February 1554 the political leaders of the supporters of Jane were executed, including Jane herself. After that, there was time to deal with the religious leaders of the English Reformation and so on 8 March 1554 the Privy Council ordered Cranmer, Ridley, and Hugh Latimer to be transferred to Bocardo prison in Oxford to await trial for heresy. The trial of Latimer and Ridley started shortly after Cranmer's with John Jewel acting as notary to Ridley. Their verdicts came almost immediately and they were to be burned at the stake.
The sentence was carried out on 16 October 1555 in Oxford. Cranmer was taken to a tower to watch the proceedings. Ridley burned extremely slowly and suffered a great deal. A metal cross in a cobbled patch of road in Broad Street, Oxford marks the site. The story of their deaths was effectively put to use in John Foxe's book Acts and Monuments in 1559.[17] Eventually Ridley and Latimer were seen as martyrs for their support of a Church of England independent from the Roman Catholic Church.
There has been a less than convincing attempt to connect Ridley with nursery rhyme Three Blind Mice.[18] There has been some speculation that rhyme refers to Queen Mary I of England blinding and executing the three Oxford Martyrs.[19] History tells us that Ridley, Hugh Latimer, and Thomas Cranmer were burned, but not blinded.[20]
In the Victorian era, his death was commemorated by the Martyrs' Memorial, located near the site of his execution. As well as being a monument to the English Reformation, the memorial is even more so an interesting landmark of the 19th century Oxford Movement, propagated by John Keble, John Henry Newman and others. Profoundly alarmed at the Catholic realignment the movement was bringing into to the Church of England, low church Anglican clergy raised the funds for erecting the monument, with its highly anti-Roman Catholic inscription, as a public propaganda move. As a result the monument was built 300 years after the events it commemorates.[21]

In 1881, Ridley Hall in Cambridge, England, was founded in his memory for the training of Anglican priests. Ridley College, a private University-preparatory school located in St. Catharines, Ontario, was founded in his honor in 1889. Also named after him is Ridley Melbourne - Mission & Ministry College, a theological college in Australia, founded in 1910. There is a Church of England church dedicated to him in Welling, south east London. A famous excerpt from a dialogue between Nicholas Ridley and Hugh Latimer is used in the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. In this version, the line spoken by Latimer towards Ridley before their burning at the stake is rendered: "Play the man, Master Ridley; we shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out." Ridley, along with Latimer, is remembered with a commemoration in the Calendar of saints in some parts of the Anglican Communion on 16 October.

I was playing Joshua for a church video. The portion where I, as Joshua, was speaking with the future King David was unable to photograph. Did not think to hand off my camerd to someone to snap several pictures.

Students share their vision for healthier waterways at Melbourne Water’s Kids Teaching Kids Conference in October 2012.
At Children's Bookshop & Teaching Supplies, you can get all sorts of educational material for kids. We bought Juliana a magnetic puzzle map of the United States and she is learning quite well, so far. For example, I'll ask her where she was born. She'll point to Texas, then say it, and then put it on the right spot on the map. Genius girl right here.
