Everyday user obsessed with Origins tinted oil-free moisturizer, plus tint!
Everyday user obsessed with Origins tinted oil-free moisturizer, plus tint! Have since fallen in love with this tinted moisture perfecting tool after reading a review for it in Living (Martha's mag). Normally wouldn't spend so much on a moisturizer but was desperately seeking a new go-to for day to day protection, moisture and color. Best splurge in a long time- still working on 1st bottle after 1 year+!
I live in the desert and I used this product all summer long. Thought about going back to foundation for the winter months, but decided to order another tube instead. It doesn't have a high SPF rating, but I apply a little powder over it and it seems to do the trick. It really does just even out the skin tone and has a more natural look. Never have that drying feeling around the eyes that some foundations can leave you with by the end of the day. The fact that it seems to adjust to you're very own skin color (fair and blonde in my case) is very clever. Plus, you get a lot of applications per tube. Good stuff!
I spend a fair bit of time outside. With its SPF 15, this moisturizer helps protect my skin. Additionally, the slight tint helps even out my imperfections.
When paired with Origin's concealer, this did wonders for my skin. It evened out my skin tone while hydrating. I had a glow!
I managed a spa for years and tried every moisturizer with tint known to man. I fell in love with this very quickly. The tint isn't thick and leaves you with perfectly toned glowing skin, without the look of you wearing makeup. I have normal to dry skin and it works fine for that. And it has spf which is the #1 thing I look for in my moisturizer. I have a lot of friends who have recognized just how amazing this product is and won't go back to their old products.
I absolutely love this product. It's not clearly marked that it has a light tint, and I was initially unsure about that because I never, ever wear any type of foundation. But I stand corrected! This product moisturizes well for my dry skin, and it gives me a super healthy looking glow. Before I put it on, I'm all "Oh God, you look like you need to sleep four more house," but after, I look like I spelt for years! Totally love.
I have been using this product for a while. It is a fabulous moisturizer. It has a little tint to it so it helps cover up small imperfections. Great SPF coverage since I do live in Florida.
I don't like to use a lot of face makeup but this stuff is so light and wonderful it's like I'm not wearing anything at all. I call it magic cream because it looks white when it comes out but then it magically blends to your skin tone, making everything look even and fresh. This is my everyday standard. Love this product!
Origins is a new found brand I am in love with. This energy- boosting moisturizer is perfect for a warm day when you want a natural glossy look with the protection of a little SPF. I also love it for a quick moisturizing before hitting the gym or going for a run outside.
This product is awesome! The tinted moisturizer blends in with your skin tone... don't know how they do it, but it looks great and applies super easily (just like a face lotion).

Are you having trouble organizing small spaces?
Do you struggle to find a place for all of your stuff in your tiny apartment? I’ve never had that problem when living with my parents, but since I got married and moved to a smaller home, I had a hard time figuring out how to get all of my belongings into our small spaces. Plus, we wanted to invite as many friends as possible to come over. This way, w needed to make the best space and furniture choices for us. In the end we figured it out, and what we did might be helpful for you, so here are our 3 foolproof tips to organize and maximize your small spaces!
Having a 42 sq ft/ 13 sq mt living and dining space is a challenge when you want to have guests.
You can size down on some furniture, like having a settee instead of a multiple seat sofa, but we needed one that could fit more people, and preferably doubled as a bed.
This one has it all really, it is very comfortable, fits 4 people seating and it transforms into a normal size double bed. When you open it to make the bed, you get access to the space below it, where you can storage anything you need. We used it for our winter clothes and spare pillows. You can find it in IKEA.
The same idea goes to our little stools, that fit under our TV bench and can storage all of our electronic things.
This one is Gold for us! In my office, we have shelves to put all of my books and storage my stationery collection, which I can’t live without. In our room we also have shelves instead of bedside tables because it would take too much floor space. If you use your walls instead of your floors, the rooms will feel less cluttered and more airy.
The same goes to when you are organizing your closets or cabinets. You can get shelf inserts, or put boxes on top of each other.
This is what it all comes down to. Not trying to get you on the minimalist wagon (I’m surely not one, but I really admire the concept, and try to incorporate some of the ideas in my life), but when having a smaller home, we need to ask ourselves what do we REALLY to keep, and what we can throw away or donate. Having less stuff makes me feel more efficient and way less frustrated when trying to find what I need.
Hopefully this has helped you in some way. See you next time!

Two peacocks in a zoo in the south-western city of Kunming in China have died after being manhandled by tourists over the Chinese New Year period.
Quoting reports from local media, the South China Morning Post said the birds were believed to have died from shock due to the tourists' "violent behaviour".
Photos posted on social media showed visitors to the Yunnan Wild Animal Park picking up the peacocks to pose for the camera. The birds' feathers were also reportedly plucked out.
In its reply to local newspaper WCC Daily, Yunnan Wild Animal Park confirmed the deaths and said one of the peacocks had died on Feb 12.
While the cause of their deaths are still under investigation, zoo officials said they believed the peacocks had died from the shock of being held so forcefully by visitors.
A spokesman for the zoo said such an incident had never happened before, although zoo employees often remind visitors not to touch the peacocks.
According to its website, the 187-hectare zoo houses over 10,000 wild birds and animals, including 200 species such as elephants, lions and pandas.
The latest incident follows reports last week claiming that a dolphin had died at a beach in Argentina, after beach-goers allegedly pulled it out from the water so they could take photos with it.

Behind auri is the jewelry artist Anne Bader, who forms jewelry out of unusually thin sheet metals, hides stacked:, lined up, structures or folded pieces,almost like Origami.
auri jewellery takes its inspiration from nature and everyday surroundings. The creative impulse is equally likely to derive from a waterfall, a chance encounter on the streets of Florence, or the loggia of the fifteenth century villa.
auri jewellery is the result of very thin metal sheets finely wrought with intuition, research and expertise. Beside the aim to design visually and aesthetically exciting jewellery, auri jewellery is intended to be worn as only the connection and interaction with the wearer brings it to real life.

text: When the young and impressionable sons and daughters of rural Australia were promised power and riches beyond their wildest dreams by an older sadistic boss, they become a highly manipulated and dangerous group of drug dealers. Intent on distributing their own brand of ice and justice into regional communities, they were prepared to attack anyone or anything that stood in their way. As the syndicate spirals out of control, their wildest dreams become their worst nightmares. Victorian detectives tracked and pursued the syndicate around the state in an attempt to stop the violence, collect evidence and dismantle the group - a tightly controlled group of outlaws from whom no one is safe, not even woman and children. Ice Nation is an intimate blow-by-blow account by the lead investigating officer of police efforts to bring the syndicate to justice. It is a snapshot of the epidemic that is taking over Australia and a horrifying picture of the destruction of family and friends.

As of July 2014, the capital campaign for Phase II Renovations of the Pacific Maritime Heritage Center was underway. It is off to a promising start as we received a $200,000 matching grant pledge from the Doerfler Family Trust. Phase II incorporates the majority of the lower floor of the Maritime Center, some 8000 square-feet, as well as exterior renovations.
Inside, the main attraction will be the Doerfler Family Theatre, a 140-seat media/event space. With a stunning panoramic view of the Bayfront, this multi-purpose venue will accommodate small stage and music performances, film festivals, presentations and special events of all kinds. In addition, the lower level will boast a 110-person capacity conference room, catering area, and a large set of restrooms with a bridal changing area. And last but certainly not least, a public elevator will be installed creating ADA compliant access to all three floors of the Maritime Center.
On the exterior, a children’s discovery area and outdoor terrace will greatly enhance the southwest corner of the building. On the east side, handicap parking and a loading dock will allow easier access to the theatre lobby and storage areas.
Donate today and your generosity will go twice as far! We have received a $200,000 matching grant pledge from the Doerfler Family Trust that will match your donation (up to $200,000), thus doubling your donation.

In April, a successful and enjoyable Hui Whakahōnore was held to celebrate our Māori graduates.
Fifteen graduates crossed the stage of the Jack Mann Theatre to receive their tohu. This year all Colleges were represented by Pro Vice-Chancellors or Deans and many heads of schools also attended.
It was marvelous for our ākonga to have this support as well as that of whānau. This is always a moving ceremony, as both graduates and whānau have the opportunity to reflect on their journey in tertiary education – a journey which is also a journey for whānau and one which often leads family members to consider and begin tertiary study.
This year, Emma Maurice, Tumuaki, Te Akatoki Māori Students Association, suggested a change to the conclusion of the celebration with the provision of a more formal lunch. As a result of this proposal, kai was provided at the UCSA Event Centre, which was a wonderful opportunity for informal kōrero as well as speeches. There has been a lot of feedback on how enjoyable the entire celebration was and how much people appreciated the manaaki provided.

How I Met Your Mother has only two episodes left until it’s nine year run comes to an end. As we’re winding down, people the internet is abuzz with theories about how it will end. How will they meet? What’s her name? What will the final episode be like? But one question that doesn’t seem to be as important in many people’s mind is one that I’ve recently learned is pretty important: Why is Ted telling this story? I had never thought of that. It can’t just be because he wants his kids to know. Forcing them to sit on a couch for ten years is a little much for a random origin story. But it’s this question that we have to keep in mind when thinking about how the story will end, and what I think is the reason he’s telling it.
Now, these theories are purely speculation, and I have in no way heard that any of these are actually fact. But it will be interesting to see if they are, because I think it will end the show with a bang, and give it the strong ending it deserves.
The most talked about theory that I’ve come across over my web searching is the idea that the mother is, in fact, dead. A few weeks ago, when I was catching up with the episodes I’d missed on NBC’s website, I was struck with the heartbreaking thought that this was actually true. Toward the tail end of March 3rd’s episode, “Vesuvius”, the mother and Ted have a teary conversation over their dinner. While it flows through lighthearted and comic, like most HIMYM episodes, it takes a very serious turn. “I don’t want you to be the guy that lives in his stories,” the mother tells Ted with a sad smile. “Life only moves forward.” There is something unspoken between them in that moment. When she asks, “What mother misses her daughter’s wedding?” Ted begins to cry. They glaze over this, and don’t spend too much time divulging details about the situation, but once I had this scene in my mind, and the idea that something must have been seriously wrong with the mother, it opened my eyes to the show as a whole.
One scene sticks out in my mind, and it wasn’t until reading this article written by Miriam Krule that I remembered it.
Sure, it will hurt, and people will no doubt be angry about it. But in the long run when you look back you’re not going to say, “Remember when Ted spent nine years telling us that story and then he found the love of his life the end?” You’re going to say, “Remember when Ted spent nine years telling us that story and he finally met the love of his life but it turned out she was dead the whole time?” I just think in the long run it will make for an amazing, lasting show. Series like these don’t deserve to fizzle out. The ones that stick with us are the ones that ripped our heart out, but gave us hope along the way. The ones that stick with us are the ones that end with a bang.
Keep in mind, I wrote this article a while ago and realized I had never posted it. So if any new info has arisen, it is not included in this article.

We counted seven cygnets that year.
I have been reading for years about the way older patients are treated in the NHS. But I know this from first-hand. About 6 years ago my mother spent nine months in hospitals and I feel the hospital system killed her. This is a condensed version of it.
My husband and I went to collect my lovely mother, who was 88. She had just had a minor operation to unblock some grafted veins in her legs. She was fine and really looking forward to getting back to her warden-aided flat where she lived a very independent life having moved from our family home in 2000.
But when we arrived she was writhing in agony on her bed. She had wanted to go to the toilet and needed help to get there. No one had responded to her bell, so she set off to the toilets on her own. While there she fell and broke her right hip. It is incredulous to me how many older patients fall and break their hips while in hospital and it is an utter disgrace that while supposedly being in a hospital and being cared-for, patients engender an often fatal fall.
I had to battle every day to get my mother the care she deserved. Nurses moaned about having to make her bed if she’d been restless and disturbed the blankets and sheets. One day I came to visit and she was lying flat on her back with a hospital gown up under her arms exposing a nappy-type pad. She was very distressed and shredding tissues in one hand. Male visitors were walking past. I raised the top of her bed pulled her gown down and made the bed around her. I collected and washed her nighties every day and there were several clean ones in her locker. I hunted down and found her lost glasses and slippers and false teeth (this was a daily occurrence). I pulled the curtains round and put a clean nightie and bed-jacket on. She gradually calmed down and we had a good chat. Then I went to see someone in charge. I was very angry and said how I felt my mother was NOT being treated with dignity and respect and she was not gaga, but a very much with-it lady who was normally very independent and active. How could they treat her like that?
After progressing quite well my mother was moved to a convalescent hospital where I visited nearly every day. I made sure my mother had a diary and photos of us to look at. My mother was making good progress but a large part of her care was missing. One day I visited I found her with her head down on her arms sitting at a table near her bed. She looked up when I came towards her. She looked totally bereft. “Life wouldn’t be worth living if it wasn’t for you,” she said. “Could you wash my feet for me? I think they smell.” I asked someone for a bowl and used the soap from the washbasin plus some hand towels and washed her feet for her. “You’re an angel,” she said smiling down at me. I combed her hair, bathed her eyes, found her glasses and her book.
She really perked up and after drying her feet off and putting her socks and slippers on, and a warm coat, I took her in her wheelchair to the lovely garden in the centre of the wards where there was a fishpond, ducks and a wooden bridge over it. I made her laugh by pushing her, rushing up and over the bridge and round the garden at a fast pace. We then had hot chocolate from the vending machine and sat with the sun on our faces and ducks at our feet.
Before the next time to visit I received a phone call. My mother had fallen and broken her left hip… I could not believe that this gross negligence had happened again. I went to collect her things then back to the hospital where she was down for an emergency operation. This went ahead and after the operation my mother’s character changed. I looked this up and found Hospital Delirium was a well-known phenomenon after general anaesthetics and prolonged stays in hospitals. The nursing staff on the new ward were angry with my mother about her temporary surly and unusual behaviour, which was understandable after two hip breaks and two general anaesthetics. But they didn’t seem to know what Hospital Delirium was and here was I, a lay-person, telling them about something they should know about. I did notice a few months later a notice about Hospital Delirium appeared on the ward wall.
I approached a doctor I saw in the corridor despairing about my mother’s pain. As I explained, this woman doctor laughed at me and started walking away from me as I was still asking for help. I have never felt so alone, so hopeless, so angry… her pain was never managed properly in hospital and I cannot believe in this day and age that pain relief isn’t effective. I asked if the Pain Management Team could see her and the day they came my mother’s notes had been misplaced and they couldn’t do anything effective.
I battled on to get my mother in to the Nursing Home. Eventually she was allowed to go but mustn’t walk on her hip for a few weeks as she had a slight hairline fracture of the right femur. I went to see the Sister at the Nursing Home to discuss her medicines and remember saying she was on a sleeping tablet nightly. My mother was so happy to be there after all those months in hospital and I greeted her as she arrived by ambulance. She had been telling all the ambulance crew about me!! I thought that things would improve.
But that first night was awful for her. The next day I was greeted by a lady who used to clean for her. “Your mother’s had a dreadful night and been shouting her head off and disturbing everyone.” I was so angry. Who was discussing my mother like this? The Matron of the Nursing Home and the man in charge of the warden-aided flats had been discussing my mother’s first night in the Nursing Home with other people. I thought this was most unprofessional – this should have been private. I found out that my mother had not been given her sleeping tablet in a mix-up over medication even though I had gone through this with the Sister earlier. When elderly people have sleeping tablets long-term and then aren’t given them they can get severe withdrawal symptoms, which is what my mother experienced. She had been left in complete darkness with the lamp turned off and my mother had been having terrible nightmares and crawling to the bottom of her bed. When it was discovered about the non-dispensing of sleeping tablets the Matron did apologise to me.
Being fiercely independent my mother found the Nursing Home community living quite difficult. Plus the night staff were stretched and never came when she rang the bell. Her washing was always lost. We had got my mother a mobile phone while in hospital and I rang her every night. My night-time talks with her at the Home revealed how unhappy she was. One evening she had wanted to go to the toilet. No one had come so she got off the bed and wandered to her bathroom herself. She fell and broke her right femur badly. I knew she would never recover from this.
The last time I saw my mother with her natural and cheery character had long gone. When we visited in hospital again one day she complained of terrible pain in her back and I was concerned she had a bed sore. On bringing this up with various staff, they all dismissed it, yet she developed a terrible Stage 1V bedsore at the base of her spine which caused awful pain. The femur had been reset but the wound wasn’t healing and my mother underwent the very painful treatments of debridement. Still the pain medication given wasn’t touching her pain levels.
As I walked the hospital corridors to get to my mother’s ward, I would always pray and ask God and the angels to be with me and I don’t think I could have carried on without this spiritual help. My husband was so supportive and picked me up each night after work and came up to see my mother too. We visited together at weekends.
One day I visited and her bed was empty. Where was she? Had she died? I panicked. No one had told me. She’d been moved to a side ward. Her agony continued and although I tried to see him, I never met her Consultant, but wrote to him about my concerns and spoke to him on the phone.
There were a few lovely staff who really seemed to care, but these were very much in minority and off-set by what I can only call a cult of cruelty in the NHS. Do these people who dish out this awful care realise they will be old and ill and vulnerable one day? What sort of treatment would they like then?
My mother died two days after my birthday. I had a phone call at 5.30am and burst into tears – tears of pain at what she’d suffered, tears of anger at some of her treatment, tears of relief she wasn’t suffering anymore, tears of abject grief that I wouldn’t see her anymore on this side of life.
My husband and I have said when the time comes we are adamant want to die at home in our own bed and if this shortens our life then so be it.
One of the emails I had read out was a take on the Desiderata called DETYGERATA for TYGS & TOGS. Part 1 is printed below.
"Go tyggishly amid the letters and emails and remember (if you can) what peas there may be. As far as possible be on cheery terms with all TOGS. Speak your mind loudly and repeatedly; and turn your radio up, even when you’ve heard it all before, they too need a turn (and often have one). Avoid loud and bearded TOGS, they cause a lot of probs. (See Boggy and Ken about this.) Don’t compare yourself to other TYGS and TOGS for you become too confident or deflated: there will always be a strange spectrum of the breed."
Sadly my lovely little Shadow was put to sleep on Wednesday 23rd September 2015 at 5.15pm. He was 9 years and 3 months old and had developed hind leg paralysis, couldn't hold himself up and deteriorated rapidly. He is buried under a Garden Angel in the back garden in the back central border. I feel devastated and can't stop crying, but my dear friend, Annie, said I 'gave him a lifetime of care, comfort and love and that is a wonderful gift to have given to another living creature.' This has comforted me greatly.
I was so upset at witnessing the death of this small, brown wild rabbit by a speeding car, that I kept thinking - what can I do to mitigate this situation? I had vowed not to have another rabbit after my last lovely rabbit, Honey. But I thought, I can give a good, loving home to another rabbit. I decided there and then to go to the pet shop near my mother's flat.
I cuddled the small black furry rabbit I'd chosen. He was a Lion-Headed Dwarf rabbit about eight weeks old with a fluffy ruff of fur round his neck, a silver tummy and silver eye-liner. He licked and nibbled my blouse. I bought him a two-storey rabbit Chalet set up in the car-less garage with large living areas joined by a ramp and a large garden run. He settled in very quickly. He enjoyed exploring the garage, conservatory and kitchen and the enclosed back garden.
Shadow is very sociable and inquisitive. He loves being combed and brushed, which has to be done daily, because of the long fur round his neck and back. He affectionately butts my hand and licks me running in circles round me and making a funny honking noise. He expresses his joy of life by jumping and twisting in the air, dashing at high speed round his toys and in and out of obstacles. In the morning he rushes to greet me on the top storey of his Chalet so he can jump down onto a stool, then the garage floor. He dashes out into the garden and his happy disposition lifts my spirits every morning.
Running up and down his three-storey cardboard Cottontail Cottage in the conservatory (all the way from the US) and eating raisins as a treat.
When my cat, Mittens, ignores him.
Being friendly to everyone he meets.
I've included this poem as I have been watching The Big Blue Live on the BBC and have been so entranced by the Sea Otters. They are one of my favourite animals. I wrote this poem in 2002 but it does detail the behaviour where the kits are kidnapped to force the female to give up her food.

painting my mind with dreams.
in that land where illness isn’t.
I have posted this poem today for Remembrance Day on 11th November.
returning riches to nature’s soil.
‘Trawling’ was based on a dream I had which I recorded in my dream diary. It had a rather nightmarish quality to it, as in the cellar was an old sailor (wise man of the sea) mending the net of my heart (heart-broken?). A cellar can refer to your subconscious and water can refer to your emotional life. As there was a lot going on in my life then, mostly very difficult to deal with, this was one of those poignant dreams that stay with you for a long time after and mean something deep; deep as the ocean.
Anyone who has owned a pet and is an animal lover knows only too well the terrible feelings of loss and grief when a beloved pet dies or has to be put to sleep. This is a very personal poem, but one which I think pet owners can identify with and was written when the pain of loss was very raw and the grieving process had just begun. It was written about Misty, my lovely grey fluffy cat, who is seen here helping me with my work. (Misty - 19th October 1992 to 24th February 2006).
He was kind to me.
He examined my back legs.
I cried and tried to tell him.
then he gave me an injection.
I began to feel warm and fuzzy.
The pain in my legs began to recede.
“Don’t leave me – I love you.
So this is what they do.
She bent over me and whispered.
I have never left that hell.

Cover – The cover is a mix of polyester and viscose and is stretchy, so you won’t need to worry about bunching up when you adjust your position on the mattress. It’s comparatively thin, so it’s likely to allow for air circulation through the mattress for proper temperature regulation. The thinness also guarantees it will not interfere with the feel of the best foam layer.
Comfort Layer – Its comfort coating is 1.5 inches of top-quality latex foam, and the substance has a fast reaction to pressure. The fast response gives some bounce to the mattress. The layer can be aerated in order to improve airflow and breathability, which also improves temperature regulation.
Compression Layer – Below its comfort coating is two inches of gel memory foam. This coating allows the user to sink in and provide contouring to the body.
Base Layer – Its base layer is composed of 7.5 inches of high-density poly foam. The layer provides support to the mattress in addition to supplying some durability. This base also offers the GhostBed mattress its shape.
Firmness – If you press the GhostBed, the initial feel is that of its latex foam on top. It does allow for a little pressure to the mattress but has a fast result of the pressure. By adding more weight one will start to interact with the memory foam layer underneath that provides some contouring to the body. When describing stability, it is important to note that people with different body contours will feel firmness differently. The GhostBed is at the moderate firmness range, which means it’s going to provide a solid mix of pressure and support relief in case you do not especially sleep in 1 position. Shape imprints can at most times shape foam mattresses, but with the dense foams from the GhostBed, that should not happen. It also needs to help give assistance to heavy men and women who sometimes can have troubles with foam mattresses.
Motion Transfer – A individual sharing a bed with a spouse, will want to learn what it may feel like when their spouse gets in and out of turns or bed during sleep. With the layering of this GhostBed, the materials ensure that there is less motion on one side of the mattress when there is sudden movement on the other hand. Therefore, less disturbance will happen during sleep or resting time.
Edge Support – If you are likely to share your bed with someone and will need to make use of the full surface, the border support is something you’re likely to have to take into great consideration. Most foam mattresses sometimes struggle to resist the edge assistance of innerspring mattresses. Lying on your back it is possible to feel an even support on the side of the GhostBed mattress when compared to the center. There’s compression through latex and the memory foam layer. This is anticipated from a softer foam coating such as this one. The comfortable layer allows you to adjust or alter positions nicely near the face of this GhostBed mattress. If one is hanging off the side of the GhostBed mattress, some small compression during the soft layers can be sensed. When you sit up on the side of the mattress, say to put shoes in the early hours, the burden is concentrated in a smaller surface area. It isn’t moved to a major surface area.
Cool Sleep – The construction incorporates the use of a gel that is implanted in the memory foam and is placed below a layer of aerated latex foam, and this will protect against sleeping too hot. Both materials that are utilized and the design of this GhostBed will really assist with the temperature cooling and regulation.
• Stress Relief – The combination of the quality soft latex comfort layer with the memory foam beneath it enables one to sink into the mattress with an awareness of pressure relief. By putting a highly responsive latex on its memory foam, the GhostBed mattress permits you to adjust places without feeling somewhat stuck.
• Value for money – The GhostBed mattress utilizes high quality materials to make a good mix of pressure support and relief in a lasting mattress. Taking into consideration the quality of construction infused from the mattress, it’s set at a comparatively low cost when compared to some of its peer products available on the marketplace.
• Durability and Service – The denser foams which are employed in the construction of GhostBed substances are supposed to assist the GhostBed mattress defend against the creation of imprints and deformation. Along with that, its foam will provide a better help to heavier people than its lower density options.

Cox, Richard J. (2007) Public Memory Meets Archival Memory: The Interpretation of Williamsburg’s Secretary’s Office. Archives and Social Studies, 1 (1). 13 - 42.
One of the restored buildings in the Colonial Williamsburg historic site is the Secretary’s Office, built in 1747-48, the oldest public records structure in the Englishspeaking colonies. Probably few archivists and other records professionals know that the antecedents of their profession are well represented in such a popular tourist attraction. This essay considers three lessons for archivists in their quest for greater public understanding and support, drawing on how this old public records structure has been interpreted. First, the essay suggests that the story of the Secretary’s Office is not well known by archivists and those interested in the history of efforts to preserve our documentary heritage. Second, the essay recounts the story of the failure by America’s premier and pioneering historic site to interpret fully the legacy of the public records office. Finally, the essay indicates that the lack of interpretation represents alost opportunity to promote public understanding of what records represent, why archives are important, and the work of archivists.

Pewatron has released a new oxygen sensor module that can be used in many different applications and in several configurations. The key element of the sensor module is the oxygen sensor from Fujikura; it is an amperometric solid-state sensor with high output accuracy, a short response time to gas concentration changes and ruggedness against pressure change, humidity and other gases. The non-amplified signal from the oxygen sensor is in the range of micro amps and non-linear. The FCX-MC sensor module is a signal-conditioning unit that gives the user the option of different sensor output modes, such as analogous linearised current output (0-20 mA), analogous linearised voltage output (0-10V) or a digital output using the RS485 communication protocol. As the total power consumption is low (< 3W), the FCX-MC oxygen sensor module is suitable for mobile applications.
The oxygen sensor is configured either in a flow configuration with connectors for hosing or in a diffusion configuration. In the flow configuration, the sensor encapsulation is an aluminium flow housing, enabling analysis of oxygen concentrations from small sample extracts. The sensor can be placed on the sensor module PCB board for easy integration into transmitters or connected to the sensor module PCB board via cables in either configuration. The FCX-MC module supports cable lengths of up to 10 metres.
The oxygen sensor can withstand gas temperatures as high as 250°C. The output oxygen concentration is highly linear and the accuracy is better than 1% FS with a response time for gas concentration changes of below 10 seconds. Concentration ranges are from 0 to 25 vol % and 0 to 95 vol % O2.

If it doesn't, you can do it this way. It is the long way but it's how I've sometimes had to do it.
By doing it this (long) way, you need to take the middle part (blue text) of the link away.

IKEA Dining Room Furniture – Shopping for furniture these days is very different from what it was a few years ago. With the Internet so easily available, it is much easier to buy and compare the prices of furniture online. Here is some information on how to find the best furniture websites online.
Do you like traditional or modern furniture is more your style? Keywords such as “modern furniture” or “contemporary furniture” will produce many results. You can also search by product type. For example, if you are looking for a kitchen table, you can do a search for “round kitchen table” or “dining room set”. Check the delivery and shipping costs. Even with the purchase of furniture from a large retail store, it is difficult to get around the shipping costs. Expect to pay even more if you order your furniture online.
Check the return policy. It is not so easy to return furniture, but sometimes it is a necessity. They only deal with sites that offer a fair return policy. If a damaged item arrives, a trusted site will send a delivery truck to pick it up and send you a replacement free of charge. It should not cost anything to return a damaged piece of furniture. Make sure the site looks trustworthy. There are many mom and pop type furniture websites, and most of them offer great customer service, but you should always be careful when making such an important online purchase.

Rule G-38, on solicitation of municipal securities business, prohibits any broker, dealer or municipal securities dealer ("dealer") from making a direct or indirect payment to any person who is not an affiliated person of the dealer for a solicitation of municipal securities business. The current version of Rule G-38 replaced a prior version of the rule, relating to the use of consultants, effective August 29, 2005. Thus, with one narrowly defined exception discussed below, since August 29, 2005, dealers have been prohibited from making any payments to persons not affiliated with the dealer (including but not limited to any former consultant under the prior version of Rule G-38) for solicitations of municipal securities business.
A dealer is permitted to make a payment to a former consultant who is not an affiliated person of the dealer for a solicitation of municipal securities business if the payment is made solely for solicitation activities undertaken by such former consultant on or prior to August 29, 2005. A transitional payment is permitted only if (A) the former consultant has not solicited municipal securities business from any issuer on behalf of the dealer after August 29, 2005 and (B) the dealer submits Form G-38t to the MSRB for each calendar quarter during which such payment to the consultant is made or remains pending. The dealer must disclose on its initial and all subsequent Form G-38t submissions each item of municipal securities business for which a transitional payment remains pending and the amount of such pending payment, together with other required information, until such quarter in which the payment is finally made.
Dealers are required to submit Form G-38t to the MSRB for a calendar quarter only if a transitional payment to a former consultant is paid during such quarter or remains pending (i.e., payable at a future date) as of such quarter. If no such payments are made or remain pending in any calendar quarter, Form G-38t is not required to be submitted and dealers should not make such submissions. Dealers should note that pending payments must continuously be disclosed on Form G-38t for every calendar quarter, beginning with the quarter ended on September 30, 2005 and each quarter thereafter, until paid. If a pending payment has not been disclosed on Form G-38t for any one or more prior calendar quarters, such payment may no longer be made under the transitional payment provision of Rule G-38 and the dealer would violate Rule G-38 if it subsequently makes such a payment.
The MSRB wishes to remind dealers that Rule G-38 strictly prohibits all payments by a dealer to a non-affiliated person for solicitation activities undertaken after August 29, 2005, even if such solicitation activities are undertaken pursuant to a contract entered into by the dealer with the non-affiliated person on or prior to August 29, 2005. In effect, all paid solicitation activities by non-affiliated persons on behalf of dealers were required to cease as of August 30, 2005, regardless of whether such activities arise from earlier contractual commitments, since any payments by dealers for such activities would violate Rule G-38. Further, as noted above, one of the conditions for permitting transitional payments for solicitations occurring on or prior to August 29, 2005 is that the former consultant does not solicit municipal securities business from any issuer on behalf of the dealer at any time after August 29, 2005. Thus, if a dealer has a pending payment to a former consultant for a solicitation made to an issuer on or prior to August 29, 2005, a subsequent solicitation on behalf of the dealer by such former consultant to the same or a different issuer after August 29, 2005 would disqualify such pending payment from being treated as a valid transitional payment under Rule G-38.
 An affiliated person of a dealer is any partner, director, officer, employee or registered person of the dealer or of an affiliated company. A registered person of a dealer is any associated person of the dealer qualified under MSRB or NASD professional qualification requirements. An affiliated company of a dealer is any entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the dealer and whose activities are not limited solely to the solicitation of municipal securities business.
 A solicitation is a direct or indirect communication with an issuer for the purpose of obtaining or retaining municipal securities business. Guidance on the definition of solicitation is provided in Rule G-38 Interpretation - Interpretive Notice on the Definition of Solicitation Under Rules G-37 and G-38, June 8, 2006, reprinted in MSRB Rule Book. Municipal securities business includes negotiated underwritings, private placements and other agency offerings, financial advisory or consultant engagements, and remarketing agent engagements.
 Under the prior version of Rule G-38, dealers were required, among other things, to make certain disclosures to issuers and to the MSRB in connection with their use of paid consultants to communicate with issuers to obtain or retain municipal securities business.
 Instructions for Forms G-37, G-37x and G-38t, available in the Political Contributions Information area of the MSRB's website at www.msrb.org, provides detailed instructions for completing Form G-38t.
Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board ("MSRB") Rule G-38, on solicitation of municipal securities business, defines "solicitation" as any direct or indirect communication with an issuer for the purpose of obtaining or retaining municipal securities business. This definition is important for purposes of determining whether payments made by a broker, dealer or municipal securities dealer ("dealer") to persons who are not affiliated persons of the dealer are prohibited under Rule G-38. In addition, the definition is central to determining whether communications by dealer personnel would result in such personnel being considered municipal finance professionals ("MFPs") of the dealer for purposes of Rule G-37, on political contributions and prohibitions on municipal securities business. This notice provides interpretive guidance relating to the status of certain types of communications as solicitations for purposes of Rules G-37 and G-38.
If an issuer representative asks an affiliated person of a dealer whether the dealer has municipal securities capabilities, such affiliated person generally would not be viewed as having solicited municipal securities business if he or she provides a limited affirmative response, together with either providing the issuer representative with contact information for an MFP of the dealer or informing the issuer representative that dealer personnel who handle municipal securities business will contact him or her. Similarly, if an issuer representative is discussing governmental cash flow management issues with an affiliated person of a dealer who concludes, in his or her professional judgment, that an appropriate means of addressing the issuer's needs may be through an issue of municipal securities, the affiliated person generally would not be viewed as having solicited business if he or she provides a limited communication to the issuer representative that such alternative may be appropriate, together with either providing the issuer representative with contact information for an MFP or informing the issuer representative that dealer personnel who handle municipal securities business will contact him or her.
In the examples above, if the affiliated person receives compensation such as a finder's or referral fee for such business or if the affiliated person engages in other activities that could be deemed a solicitation with respect to such business (for example, attending presentations of the dealer's municipal finance capabilities or responding to a request for proposals), the affiliated person generally would be viewed as having solicited the municipal securities business. The MSRB has long regarded receipt of a finder's fee for bringing municipal securities business to the dealer and activities such as attending presentations to issuer personnel of the dealer's municipal finance capabilities or responding to issuer requests for proposals as presumptively constituting solicitations of municipal securities business and does not view this notice as altering such presumption.
The MSRB understands that an affiliated person of a dealer may provide information to potential clients and others regarding the general capabilities of the dealer through either oral or written communications. Any such communication that is not made with the purpose of obtaining or retaining municipal securities business would not be considered a solicitation. Thus, depending upon the specific facts and circumstances, a communication that merely lists the significant business lines of a dealer without further descriptive information and which does not give the dealer's municipal securities practice a place of prominence within such listing generally would not be considered a solicitation unless the facts and circumstances indicate that it was aimed at obtaining or retaining municipal securities business. To the extent that a communication, such as a dealer brochure or other promotional materials, contains more than a mere listing of business lines, such as brief descriptions of each business line (including its municipal securities capabilities), determining whether such communication is a solicitation depends upon whether the facts and circumstances indicate that it was undertaken for the purpose of obtaining or retaining municipal securities business. The nature of the information provided and the manner in which it is presented are relevant factors to consider. Although no single factor is necessarily controlling in determining whether a communication was undertaken for the purpose of obtaining or retaining municipal securities business, the following considerations, among others, may often be relevant: (i) whether the municipal securities practice is the only business line included in the communication that would reasonably be of interest to an issuer representative; (ii) whether the portions of the communication describing the dealer's municipal securities capabilities are designed to garner more attention than other portions describing different business lines; (iii) whether the communication contains quantitative or qualitative information on the nature or extent of the dealer's municipal securities capabilities that is promotional in nature (e.g., quantitative or qualitative rankings, claims of expertise, identification of specific transactions, language associated with "puffery," etc.); and (iv) whether the dealer is currently seeking to obtain or retain municipal securities business from the issuer.
The MSRB understands that dealers often work closely with private entities on their capital and other financing needs. In many cases, this work may evolve into a conduit borrowing through a conduit issuer. Although the ultimate obligor on such a financing is the private entity, if the dealer acts as underwriter for a financing undertaken through a conduit issuer on other than a competitive bid basis, it is engaging in municipal securities business for purposes of Rule G-37. The selection of the underwriter for such a financing frequently is made by the conduit borrower. While in many cases conduit issuers have either formal procedures or an informal historical practice of accepting the dealer selected by the conduit borrower, some conduit issuers may set minimum standards that dealers must meet to qualify to underwrite a conduit issue, and other conduit issuers may have a slate of dealers selected by the conduit issuer from which the conduit borrower chooses the underwriter for its issue. Still other conduit issuers may defer to the conduit borrower's selection of lead underwriter but may require the underwriting syndicate to include additional dealers selected by the issuer or selected by the conduit borrower from a slate of issuer-approved underwriters, often with the purpose of ensuring participation by local dealers or historically disadvantaged dealers. A smaller number of conduit issuers retain more significant control over which dealers act as underwriters, either by making the selection for the conduit borrower or by considering the conduit borrower's selection to be merely a suggestion which in some cases the conduit issuer does not follow. However, in virtually all cases, the conduit issuer will maintain ultimate power to control which dealer underwrites a conduit issue since the conduit issuer has discretion to withhold its agreement to issue the securities through any particular dealer.
However, the MSRB believes that a dealer's communication with a conduit borrower generally should not be deemed an indirect solicitation of the issuer unless a reasonable nexus can be established between the making of contributions to officials of the conduit issuer within the meaning of Rule G-37 and the selection of the underwriter for such conduit financing. A determination of whether such a reasonable nexus could exist depends on the specific facts and circumstances.
So long as non-affiliated persons providing legal, accounting, engineering or other professional services in connection with specific municipal securities business are not being paid directly or indirectly by a dealer for communicating with an issuer for the purpose of obtaining or retaining municipal securities business for the dealer (i.e., they are paid solely for their provision of legal, accounting, engineering or other professional services with respect to the business), they would not become subject to Rule G-38. Dealers are reminded that the term "payment" as used in Rules G-37 and G-38 refers to anything of value and can, depending on the specific facts and circumstances, include quid pro quo arrangements whereby a non-affiliated person solicits municipal securities business for the dealer in exchange for being hired by the dealer to provide other unrelated services.
 The term "affiliated person" is defined in Rule G-38(b)(ii).

Clinical and radiographic analysis of accurate restoration of the joint line in revision total knee arthroplasty.
A clinical and radiographic analysis was performed on 89 consecutive revision total knee arthroplasties. The postoperative joint line position was evaluated and correlated with the clinical outcome. The joint line position was evaluated radiographically. Average follow-up was 8.2 years (24-197 months). Clinical outcome values were correlated to joint line position. More improvement was seen with recreation of the normal joint line to within +/-4 mm of the normal unaffected knee for Knee Society Score, average total arc of motion, flexion, and extension. There was a significant difference found for all 4 variables when combined outliers were compared with goal range (-4 to 4 mm). In this study, clinical outcome was improved if the joint line was accurately reproduced.

At the end of the 1970s, Chinese merchandise moved to Brazil via Paraguay, forming an on-the-margins-of-the-law tradechain involving the production, distribution, and consumption of cheap goods. Economic changes in the twenty-first century, including the enforcement of intellectual property rights and the growing importance of emerging economies, have had a dramatic effect on how this chain works, criminalizing and dismantling a trade system that had previously functioned in an organized form and stimulated the circulation of goods, money, and people at transnational levels.
The debate about the solutions of the deep social, economic, and moral Brazilian crises has permeated our daily lives in family gatherings, social networks, in the classroom and scientific and political events. This book gathers critical essays from 26 women, bringing to the heart of the political debate various viewpoints from influential activists, politicians, intellectuals, scientists, anarchists, and partisans from all over the country.
Targeting non-specialist Brazilian readers, this book provides a wide range of information on the Chinese nation, including cultural, economic, historical, and political aspects. Pinheiro-Machado presents the ancient history of China and a picture of the current society, as well as the relationships with Brazil. This book was part of a collaboration involving 14 specialists, students, intellectuals, and businesspeople..
This book is the result of the most prestigious prize in the Brazilian Social Sciences, The best doctoral thesis in the Social Sciences by ANPOCS (Post Graduation National Association), 2010.
“The book that the reader has in hand represents an accumulation of many years of research and reflection by Rosana Pinheiro-Machado. She followed the clues that the chain of goods provided, Rosana wrote a pioneering work in several levels. The first concerns the efforts to understand non-hegemonic global flows, whenever possible, through the ethnographic method. The second, due to the previous one, made Rosana Pinheiro-Machado the first Brazilian anthropologist, if not the first Brazilian social scientist, to do fieldwork in China”.

What It Is: For kids who are just learning to read or who are struggling with reading, The Reading Game combines a memory card game, picture flashcards, and storybooks to make learning to read fun. There are six storybooks with different difficulty levels, three picture flashcards for each book, and six sets of 10 memory cards for each book.
You start off with the easiest level cards, flashcards, and storybook. Play a simple memory match game with the cards to find matching words, and then reinforce the learning of those words by reading the captions underneath the pictures on the flashcards. Once the child feels confident with all 30 new words, read the storybook. Then repeat the sequence through the other five difficulty levels. The Reading Game is for two or more players with at least one of those players being a tutor, teacher, or parent.
Is It Fun? This game offers a fun challenge for kids just learning to read or for kids who need help with their reading skills. We like that there are three ways to play in each difficulty level, and that there is a lot of reinforcement of the words kids have learned throughout the play.
Who It’s For The Reading Game is for two or more players ages 4 and up. It's for beginning and struggling readers. What To Be Aware Of This does work best if a parent or teacher is playing along with a child to make sure that the child doesn't move forward in the game before he or she is ready.
Reading is one of the most important tools one can learn throughout their life. Thinking back to how I learned to read is very different to how my son, and daughter are learning to read. Over the years companies, as well as many educators have come up with fun new ways to have children engage and learn to read. Some of my proudest moments as a mom is watching Benjamin read an entire book, and seeing him happy with what he’s accomplished. Over the weekend we played a game called The Reading Game that allowed him to play a game with his parents, but was also educational.

We love memory - in fact we have about three different editions (Paw Patrol, Mario and Safari Animals) of memory games. So when we got the chance to review The Reading Game and I told my kids it was a memory game, it was a hit before we even opened the box. My 6-year-old is a "new reader" but was ready for the level of this game and my 4-year-old struggles to keep up with the brothers so the Reading Game met it's match with my bright boys. They loved it! Being able to pick the "penguin" series was my 4-year-olds favorite part.
Mamas are always looking for fun, educational games that can help kids get a jump start on mastering early reading skills. So when we found the The Reading Game, we knew we had to tell you all about it.
"This resource is super easy to use! I have had the pleasure of using The Reading Game in my classroom for the past month and I am beyond impressed with the growth my struggling students have made by "playing" this game." Read the whole teacher review at "More Than Math Blog"
Learning With Mrs. Leeby's Blog about The Reading Game!
Have I told you that I'm in love?!
I'm in love with, The Reading Game!
We have been using the first set of word cards and the first book, "Skunk."
Disclosure: I received the below product to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.
There are 6 complete “levels” to this reading system starting from left (skunk) to right (zebra). Everything is color coded and extremely simple to follow. When all of the levels are complete your child or student will have learned 180 vocabulary words, many of them Dolch and High Frequency words. (Plus if you use Wordly Wise like we do – this game is by the author of Wordly Wise!) Ok – so 6 levels – let me break it down extremely simple for you. I’ll show you how the first level works and every level after that is the exact same for it’s color.
Every level is themed by an animal and color coded. The skunk here is all red. The FIRST step is to take the number 1 cards you see at the top left and lay them out – it will be a memory matching game with the vocabulary words. Once the child has learned the words and paired up matches in the memory game you move on to the number 2 memory card words. Once that is completed the child has earned the 1-2 Skunk Flashcard you see at the top left. On the back of that card is a picture and paragraph that the child can read which uses only the vocabulary words they just learned in the memory match game. After that they can go through memory matching game cards 3 and 4, earn flashcard 3-4, then finish up with memory matching games 5 and 6 and earn flashcard 5-6. At this time the child is rewards with the very first book in the series!!
Not only is the book a large size like an older child’s book (not the tiny “See Jane Run” books) but the illustrations are also fantastic! The entire book is only created using the memory card vocabulary words to ensure that the child can read it. My son noticed right away that it was like a “real” book, not a “baby” book as he calls his BOB books at school.
Let me tell you a little about my son. He is a very smart child and ahead of the kids in his class, but he does NOT like to work at all – I can’t tell whether he is lazy or bored! Either way he hates being required to do school work of any kind. However the first day I showed him The Reading Game he literally spent FIVE STRAIGHT HOURS reading. I was absolutely floored. Every day he comes to me wanting to do more memory card games so he can get his books. I am incredibly proud of him. I don’t let him take the memory cards until he says aloud the vocabulary word every time he flips the card.
After he earned his Skunk book he moved on to the Snake cards and book.
I freaking LOVE this reading game set. It makes learning to read fun with the memory card game and my son feels like he is earning a reward every time he gets a flashcard and ultimately a book. We’re currently half way through The Reading Game and my son often brings the game to me saying he wants to work on his next animal. Each memory card game teaches only five new words at a time. The stories are funny and clever and of course everything meets Common Core Standards.
Overall – this is hands down the BEST, easiest, and most encouraging reading system I’ve encountered. I HIGHLY recommend it! It’s great for beginning readers like my son as well as for struggling readers up through the 4th grade. You can find out even more details onThe Reading Game’s website and can even purchase it here on Amazon.
The Reading Gameis a game designed for ages four and up. The game needs at least two players.One of the players needs to be the tutor. The tutor must be able to read all the words on the cards before play begins.
This game was designed by the daughter of Kenneth Hodkinson, creator of the extremely popular vocabulary curriculum Wordly Wise.
A student learns to read a set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. The words learned are Dolch sight words and half-frequency words. For example, in the first game: Skunk Game 1, students learn five words: can, cat, is, me, and not.
Once the student completes Skunk Game 6, they are ready to read the Skunk Book. The first book tells the story of a skunk who is rejected by the other skunks before being accepted by some cats. Beautifully illustrated, it is 32-pages long and is told using just thirty new words! Each subsequent matching card game and book set in the series adds a further thirty words. This means that when they finish this game, students will have mastered 180 words!
We have three children in our homeschool group in the “learning to read” section of their education. They are 4, 5, and 6. I tried the game with each of them. The four-year-old was clearly not ready and could not really get a handle on the game. The five-year-old understood what was going on, and while moving along slowly, was able to progress. However, the six-year-old who is not reading much yet, began zipping through and was reading incredibly quickly.
Each set of cards is a distinct color: red, yellow, green, blue, and purple and is visually pleasing to young and old alike. I believe this is a fantastic program for giving kids instant success to reading and slowing them to feel that reading is within their grasp. I strongly recommend it to new and emerging readers!
And here is an exciting bonus!!!
Following your student’s mastery of this reading game, you have the option to purchase a program called Magic Stories which is a step up from The Reading Game. You do not have to use The Reading Game to useMagic Stories.
Magic Storiesis a set of six delightful stories appropriate for second and third grade reading levels. These were well beyond the young children I was using to test the game on but were much more appropriate for my seven-year-old who is reading at about a second-grade level.
Each story comes with its own set of Naughty Forty™ words. These are more challenging words that your child will encounter when reading the story. There are also four sets of worksheets per storybook that come with the program featuring reading comprehension and creative writing exercises. The worksheets cover a range of language art skills like recall and comprehension, cognition, and creative writing.
The stories are optimized for an IPAD and computer screen. I chose to print them out and try them with my daughter.Each book is around 20 pages long and allows your child to color in the drawing and sketches that accompany the story. I love this idea!
I look forward to incorporating Magic Stories more with my children as they learn to read!

"The frequent play and fast-paced nature of the matching game stimulates students' long term memory; providing your student with the knowledge and confidence to successfully read the book at the end of every level. Kids also love the sense of accomplishment and constant positive reinforcement they enjoy through play. It's not school, it's a game!"

"If you are getting ready to teach your child to read or struggling to teach your child to read, this post is for you. I have posted in the past about my daughter who is a struggling reader…I am pleased to say with The Reading Game we have been experiencing breakthrough upon breakthrough! Yes!! I knew she could do it.
In the past we have tried method after method of getting her to read without sounding out every s-i-n-g-l-e sound…ugh! I don’t know how many times I say a day “if you know the word just say the word.” But she just either forgets easily, doesn’t grasp the concept or just plain didn’t want to…lol! I was stumped and frustrated and just as the feeling of hopelessness tried to consume me, we were given the opportunity to try The Reading Game.
I cannot tell you enough about how this game has changed the way she reads, she is actually reading and not slowly blending anymore, she gets it…YES! (queue the Hallelujah Chorus) I’ve always read to my children, but I love it when they can read to me too!
I know that not everything is for everyone…But I will have to say I have struggled to teach my child and this game me real help & her confidence has tremendously increased. Now all the other methods that I have used with her work, but The Reading Game was what got the ball rolling with my hands on learner.
We have a lot of fun playing and aren’t even half way through the game yet. But let me tell you this game is always on her mind, she loves it so much she asks constantly to play, she loves the fact that she is actually reading now and has become so much more excited to try all the other methods again…love it!
I hope this post will encourage that mom out there that is dealing with a struggling reader, there is hope, just keep on trying and something is bound to work."
"Is your child just beginning to read? The Reading Game is a fun supplement for reinforcing early readers through simple, fast-paced card games and storybooks. Once your child can recognize letter sounds, he or she is ready for The Reading Game.
for children who enjoy more active learning.
“The Reading Game is one of my favorite hands on games/activities for children learning reading skills. The format is simple, effective and fun. The fun is not due to compromising on quality or building a solid foundation. In fact, the format is exactly the right way to teach and could run the risk of being considered boring if not for the "game" and reward of reading a story."
“The first thing you will notice about The Reading Game is its quality. If you're anything like me, you get discouraged by how quickly the boxes on your kids' games seem to disintegrate, first splitting at the corners, and then ripping up the sides. That is not going to happen with The Reading Game. Everything from the box to the soft cover storybooks to the laminated and damage-resistant cards is of the highest quality. This is a game that will stand the test of time. If you happen to be fortunate enough to have younger readers in your home, you will be using this game quite frequently!
Oh how I love The Reading Game!
“Sight word learning is the way my girls have learned to read. All of them have struggled in one way or another with phonics alone. So this game has provided a new way for my girls to see the words and the best part was they didn't feel like it was school!
“How precious it was to see (my daughter’s) eyes light up when she realized that she made a match and then to recognize a word she may have just learned - oh, that was just icing on the cake. This inspired her to want to learn more and more and more words. She didn't want to do any other school because she was making such progress with The Reading Game.

“I highly encourage you to check out this game.
I am so excited to tell you all about this new guided reading game we have been using in class. I absolutely LOVE it. It is so simple to use and my students are crazy about it.
I'm a firm believer in this one.
I want my friends to know about it.
