Both our local Episcopalian and Lutheran churches have similar
celebrations.
The Blessing of the ...Read the rest of this entry »

The most important symbol to many Pacific Northwest Native
Canadian people is the Raven bird who is considered the
Creator's assistant. It is said that the Raven could transform
himself into anything. He was responsible for supplying the
rivers and seas with fish as well as putting the sun into the
sky. This is why the Raven is sometimes referred to as the
'Bringer of Light'. Interestingly enough, the Raven's antics

flounder you're baking, or pulling some fresh oregano leaves to
add to that spaghetti sauce or snipping some fresh basal for a
tomato, mozzarella cheese and basal salad. The availability of
fresh herbs can add a real kick to your ordinary dishes and ...Read the rest of this entry »

In most cases when we think about temperature monitoring, we
tend to focus on freezers and fridges, forgetting all about high

not only in low temperatures. A high temperature data logger can
be extremely useful for almost every kind of business that deals
with high temperature - possibly even for yours.

The Role of Native Language in Acquiring English
Study after study has demonstrated that there is a strong and
positive correlation between literacy in the native language and
learning English. Cummins (1989) explains that:
