A few thoughts on education | Reflections on schools, teaching and education. By Steve Adcock
A few thoughts on education. Reflections on schools, teaching and education. By Steve Adcock. A healthy approach to testing. July 18, 2015. In England, testing is often seen as being at odds with the true purpose of schooling. Friends of mine in both the primary and secondary sector have left the profession, or moved into the independent sector, to escape the grip that testing holds over state education. So what would a healthy approach to testing look like? A healthy approach to testing also involves th...

a few thoughts...
Comments on news events from around the world. Monday, April 11, 2011. On the "Obama Doctrine". There is a lot of discussion about how the "Obama Doctrine" differs from the "Bush Doctrine." While I'm not sure that it yet qualifies as a “doctrine,” and seems like more of a case-by-case approach, the Obama administration's foreign policy in many respects is certainly quite different than the Bush approach. Further, Obama's foreign policy decisions are being made in a very different international context.

A few thoughts on living on the border
A few thoughts on living on the border. A way to share a bit of my life here with my family and friends, and to offer a few reflections on living on the Thai/Burma border. Sunday, May 13, 2012. Angkor Wat and beyond. The temples were extremely impressive - the vastness of angkor wat, the amazing geographic spread of the several complexes in the area, the jungle reclaiming some, and the extensive restoration that had been conducted on others. Below are a few photos from our visit. Sunset at Pre Rup. Third...

The Answers You Seek Are Right Where You Stand
The Answers You Seek Are Right Where You Stand. Wednesday, April 9, 2014. I thought I knew the key players in my game. I thought I knew the path and the destination. I had a plan that was outside of my awareness.until I began to feel that things weren't going my way. When I heard myself feeling this way, it woke me up. My way".this was the problem. Life was not unfolding according to my ideas. Of the future. People were not acting as I thought. It comes down to respecting the source more than the persona...

A Few Thousand | Mike & Bryan Ride Their Bikes Across The Country
Mike and Bryan Ride Their Bikes Across The Country. September 29, 2013. So today I attempted to do some dirt jumping at Valmont Bike Park! It was a blast. They have things to ride no matter your skill level! I would like to say I was blasting off the huge extra large pro looking jumps but I stuck to the small and medium stuff which was still super tough! I did eat shit once! Check out these photos! Day 22. One thing ends, another begins. September 22, 2013. I am pumped to spend some time with my good bud...

My Blog. My Show.
My Blog. My Show. 14 March, 2015. A quilt for Norge. Another dear friend is having a baby! They live in Norway so this is the furthest I've ever sent a quilt. I'm pretty excited about having a well-traveled quilt in my repertoire. Audrey has an awesome color scheme. Going for the baby's room. It can always be used for picnics and laps and whatever. I just loved making this quilt. It was the first time I'd ever used triangles. Not triangles made out of squares. I think the colors turned out ni...Labels: b...

A Few Threads Loose
A Compendium of Lingerie Patterns. How-To and Lingerie Sewing Techniques. Wednesday, April 15, 2015. Sew Expensive. A McCall 1987 hat pattern and what makes a buyer tick! Many of you might come to expect by now that vintage hat patterns are worth a pretty penny. Weve watched Millinery for Every Woman. Sell for quite a bit in past editions of Sew Expensive. We know that sometimes the artwork and sometimes the short window that the design was in style can increase a patterns value. Got a very exciting comm...
