The 2010 Esplin Christmas Card

How to Prevent Apple & Pear Slices from Browning
I try very hard to reach for fresh fruit for snacking and avoid the temptation of those chips and cookies that shout out my name when I walk by them.

The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada - Windsor Center - Open House
Open House The Hallam Observatory is open to the general public one evening every month (see table below for dates and times). If the skies are clear we provide a naked eye sky tour of the stars and constellations and use the telescope to view the Moon and any planets that may be visible at that time as well as some deep sky objects (star clusters, galaxies, etc.). Please note that this event is "weather permitting" and although our telescopes are powerful they cannot see through clouds. The RASC - Windsor Centre also offers group observing sessions to the public.

I hope my site can offer you some encouragement and humor as you set out on the journey of creating organized solutions and systems that work specifically for you and your family. In addition to saving you time, money and sanity, organizing can also be fun, it can be addictive and it is most definitely pleasing to God (1 Cor 14:40). All terrific reasons to organize our spaces and our lives. I truly believe organizing is a PROCESS not a destination. I’m here to help. I’ve created an acronym to help you conquer any space or system easy and efficiently. PROCESS is defined as a series of actions used to produce something or reach a goal.

No, It’s Not Arbitrary and Does Make Sense: Teaching the English Punctuation System
You might also try putting a period at the end of a “thought.” And what about semi-colons and colons? Well…maybe those are for exceptionally long breaths and thoughts? Okay, I guess you can see that these are no official “Strunk and White” rules about usage but rather the kind of myths about standard punctuation that are perpetuated, sometimes by educators, I’m afraid. Add to this the concern that writers, such as novelist and poets, often employ their own creative punctuation: for example, poet e.e. cummings wrote in all lower-case; popular novelist Stephen King, a former English teacher, writes long, run-on sentences to indicate stream-of-consciousness thought. So by the time students come onto a college campus, they’re often under the impression that punctuation doesn’t matter, or is arbitrary, and makes no sense—sometimes all three.
★ Homemade Fancy Dress Ideas & DIY Halloween Costumes ★
I strongly believe that anyone is crafty enough to make their own costumes – all you really need is an idea – but if you aren’t going to enjoy doing it then maybe it’s not for you (unless the incentive is to save money, in which case homemade costumes are usually cheaper than bought ones, yay!) When a Halloween party has a theme I find that it’s so much easier to think of a costume idea, but when you have the freedom to dress as anything in the world….that’s when it becomes tricky. So if you are struggling, think of: - Your favourite movies - Your favourite books - Your favourite singers & bands (from any decade) - Historical figures e.g. Napoleon - Your favourite TV personality or celebrity - Actors or actresses in the roles they are famous for e.g.
