Lovin' the Weekend Blog Hops Week 48: Aug 31-Sept 2, 2012

Welcome to the forty-eighth weekend of Lovin' the Weekend Blog Hops.

Giveaway Linky is the bottom linky!

First things first:

Don't forget to check out my co-host's blog:

 I also randomly choose a Featured host each week from the Lovin' The Readers linky. This week I would like to introduce you to Julie from Hey Mommy, Chocolate Milk.

I'm sure she would love some followers. Here's what she has to say:

"I am a mommy of an amazing miracle baby boy. Truly a miracle! I was diagnosed with cancer in my mid-20’s and was told I would never have children because of the treatments I had to undergo. Well, almost 15 years later. . . my miracle arrives! He is currently 2 1/2 and is the jewel of my life!

My husband and I have been riding the roller coaster of life together for 4 years now. We have been through some serious loops lately with our son’s health issues. Currently, we are seeing several specialists to determine the exact issue we need to address. His body maybe going through some delays but his mind sure isn’t!

I started my blog about 5 months ago to share our journey through early childhood development. My blogs name is the first few words I hear every morning, “Hey Mommy, Chocolate Milk”! I believe that learning should engage all the senses and doesn’t always have to take place within 4 walls while sitting upright at a desk. We paint, make things, play, cook, read and learn while doing them all! Along the way, I also try to throw in some random and interesting facts that may also help teach us mommy’s something as well!

I hope you’ll join me on our wonderful  journey!"

Please take the time to check out her blog, let her know you are visiting from the Lovin' The Weekend Blog Hops. Don't forget to link up to the Lovin' the Readers Hop if you would like a chance to be a Featured host next week. Please comment with a way to contact you, especially if there is not an obvious way mentioned on your blog. I would love to include a little write up about you and your blog in the next week's Lovin' The Weekend Blog Hop post, including a link to your blog. And you will get to include the linky codes on your blog. Sound fun? I'm looking forward to getting to know my readers better.

Here's how this blog hop works. I would appreciate it if you would follow myself, my co-host and my Featured Host via GFC. If you no longer have GFC please follow in some other way. After that there are three different linkys you can link to. Whichever one you choose to link to, please grab that button and share it on your blog (the codes are on my sidebar). I'd love it if you could tweet or in some other way share about this blog hop, the more people who know about it, the more potential visitors and new followers of your blog. I'd love to meet some new friends this weekend.  

I have noticed that some people are more interested in just increasing their numbers, while others really want people who appreciate their blog and want to keep up with their posts. So, I decided to create two separate linkys. The third linky is for you to link up your giveaways.

If you are interested in increasing the number of followers to your blog via GFC, Linky Followers, email, Twitter, Facebook or Google+ link up here. I will follow you back if you follow me (just note which one you are linking to):

If you are interested in gaining followers to your blog who will read and comment and truly find an interest in your blog, link up here:

If you have family friendly giveaways to link up, here's your spot. Please make sure to include an end date for your giveaway.

I am so glad you stopped by. Please leave a comment if you link up and I will be sure to stop by and follow back.

Don't forget to check out my "Blog Hops" page for other great weekend blog hops!!

The Back to Preschool Blast ended last week.
I am still waiting to hear back from a couple of the winners. 
I need to hear from them by tonight or I will have to choose new winners. Please stop by the Giveaway Post and check the Rafflecopter to see if you are a winner. I have also emailed all of the winners, so you can check your emails too.

Rape: The Male Crime

Rape: The Male Crime

by Haki Madhubuti

there are mobs & strangers
in us
who scream of the women
wanted and

will get
as if the women are ours for the
taking.

our mothers, sisters, wives and
daughters ceased to be the
women men want we think of them as
loving family music & soul bright wondermints.
they are not locker room talk
not the hunted lust or dirty
cunt burnin hoes.
bright wondermints are excluded by association as
blood & heart bone & memory
& we will destroy a rapist's knee caps,
& write early grave on his thoughts
to protect them.

it will do us large to recall
when the animal in us rises
that all women are someone's
mother, sister, wife or daughter
and are not fruit to be stolen when hungry.

a significant few of their
fathers, brothers, husbands, sons
and growing strangers
are willing to unleash harm on the earth
and spill blood in the eyes
of
maggots in running shoes
who do not know the sounds of birth
or respect the privacy of the human form.

Charlotte Brontë's gym

Thread covers the Kate Sylvester fashion show:

"All my heart is yours, sir: it belongs to you; and with you it would remain, were fate to exile the rest of me from your presence forever."
Kate Sylvester showed her SS12/13 collection 'All My Heart' starring her muse - a Jane Eyre heroine - in doily prints, punchwork leather collars, tweed shorts suits, and flowing silk satin gowns, amongst the rock and roll setting of Golden Dawn.
The ladylike collection had the 19th century Bronte Babes time-travelling to the Ponsonby bar for this, the last of the five Marr Factory shows put on by Stephen Marr and Hallertau.
I would personally wear every piece in this collection (okay maybe with something underneath...) as they were perfect for everything from work to parties to lounging around. Perhaps not the gym - Charlotte Brontë never went to the gym - but I'm pretty sure she went to a few afternoon teas and there were plenty of dresses to take tea in.
Hair by Stephen Marr didn't take a pretty-pretty, literal take on Jane Eyre but instead had a dishevelled beauty, with back-combed hair giving height to the crown and worn long down the back. Perhaps they were depicting Jane fleeing Thornfield in the middle of the night after discovering Mr Rochester was married? (Megan Robinson. Photography Kevin Robinson)

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reviews The Ballad of Tom Dooley by Sharyn McCrumb:

Told in the reminiscences of Pauline and Zeb Vance, who defended Dula in court, the story puts a new twist on a mystery that reviewers compared to "Wuthering Heights." (Donna Marchetti) 

Fraser Petrick in The Whig explores his personal story:

A few awkward and miserable years later I learned that Grade 13 was not all it was cracked up to be. I became cool, yes, but in my eyes only, and only bookishly. I had read Orwell, Huxley and Salinger (when I was supposed to be reading Hardy, Brontë and sanitized drivel such as “I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree”).

What we cannot understand is why you can't read Salinger and Brontë, for instance. We did and love them both (and Hardy and Orwell, by the way).
  Dziennika Wschodniego (Poland) reviews Agnes Grey:

Książka Anne Brontë pełna subtelności, czasem wzniosłości dziś niemal nie do przyjęcia i ostatecznego morału – najważniejsza jest miłość i zacna kobieta na pewno ją spotka, jest dziś – niestety – czytadłem, choć nie można jej odmówić rzetelnego opisania tego mikroświata w jakim żyły wówczas kobiety. Niestety, talentem i wyobraźnią nie dorównała swoim siostrom. (Maria Kolesiewicz) (Translation)

Milenio (México) discusses the love for reading:

Años después mi padre escondía en su cuarto – biblioteca, en el cual los libreros recorrían paredes del piso al techo y a todo lo ancho, algunos como Jane Eyre de Charlotte Brontë o Adiós a las armas de Ernest Hemingway porque – según el- aun yo no tenía edad para leerlos. En complicidad nocturna lograba descubrirlos para acabarlos rápidamente, y en algún momento fui consciente de que fue mi familia, y no la escuela, quien me llevó a amar irremediablemente la lectura y el olor de los libros de estantes. (Viky James) (Translation)

Business Mirror (Philippines) talks about the works of the director Carlos Siguion-Reyna and mentions

His Hihintayin Kita sa Langit was Brontë’s Wuthering Heights made more epic. It earned him an Urian Award. (Dean De La Paz)

Hollywood.com sings the praisesof Tom Hardy, the actor:

He can go from bashing heads in RocknRolla to staring wistfully upon the moors in Wuthering Heights. "He's got this tough guy/soft heart thing going on. I mean, hello, he was in Wuthering Heights! And that video of him rapping with a baby! It makes my brain hurt," adds [Jenni] Miller. (Kelsea Stahler)

The Briarfield Chronicles speculates about how Shirley might have turned out if Anne Brontë had not been ill and died, which of course affected Charlotte's writing deeply. By the way, are you interested in Shirley fanfiction?

I would write a fanfiction, only I could never do justice to Charlotte Brontë. Anyway very few people are interested in Shirley so it wouldn't generate a fandom. Everyone is into Jane Eyre (sigh) and only two fanfics on Villette at Yuletide. Now that's a great fanfic website. Fanfic writers of Shirley would preferably be well-read in Romantic poetry, something few of us can aspire to.
So what do you think?

Brooklyn Mack: From Ball Player to Ballet Star

Dance, Design and Text in Jane Eyre

A curious new Jane Eyre adaptation with theatre and dance elements opens today in Irvine, CA:

Counter-Balance Theatre presents
Jane Eyre
August 31 at 8pm
September 1 at 2pm and 8pm
Fall Preview in Irvine, CA

Edison Theatre’s Ovations series at Washington University in St. Louis, MO
8 p.m. Friday, September 7
8 p.m. Saturday, September 8

Known for her stunning theatrical hybrids, Annie Loui brings her movement theater sensibilities to Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre. 

In this production, seven actors play all manner of characters, animals, architecture and furniture. The text is taken directly from Bronte's Jane Eyre. The medium through which the story is told is entirely contemporary, blending contact dance with minimalist design within a fusion of realism and expressionism that results in something entirely its own.

A sneak preview of the production can be seen here:

Kids and a Mom in the Kitchen #23: Oreo Fluff

Time for Kids and a Mom in the Kitchen

(A weekly linky where you can share your special time in the kitchen, such a great place for learning. You can also link up Kid-Friendly Recipes)

<a href="http://totsandme.blogspot.com/search/label/Kids%20and%20Mom%20in%20the%20Kitchen "><img alt="Tots and Me" src="http://i597.photobucket.com/albums/tt58/kewkewphoto/KidsandaMomintheKitchen2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

The linky is at the bottom.

This week we have been reviewing all the Days of Creation.
I was actually going to make this last week to go with Day 6, but had something come up.
On day 6 of Creation, God made the land animals, and then he made man in His image.
We actually read further in the Bible to the details of how God made man, forming him of the dust of the ground.
" ⁷ And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."

So I decided we would make the Oreo Fluff to represent mud or clay from the ground.
The original recipe uses white chocolate pudding, but we needed chocolate to make it look like mud.

Oreo Fluff Recipe 

(found at Food, Family & Finds)

1 small box white chocolate instant pudding (we used chocolate)

2 cups milk

1 small tub Cool Whip

24 Oreos, crushed

2 cups mini marshmallows

First we crushed the Oreos.

Then we made the pudding.

Then we added the Cool Whip...

...the crushed Oreos...

...and the marshmallows.

I set it in the refrigerator until dinner time. Then I put some in my pie dish and surrounded it my animals. We are reviewing Day 6 of creation after all.

Do you have your children help you in the kitchen?  What lessons do they learn? Do you have any kid friendly recipes to share?

I'd love to see your posts, whether you have done something this week or some time in the past. Just link up below. This is a weekly linky.

A Big Jane Eyre on Stage (literally)

Via Kultiversum (Germany) we have discovered this curious production of Rossini's opera The Barber of Seville in Switzerland (at the Wasserschloss Hallwyl - Production: Regina Army / Sets: Andrea Marion Menziger) which has quite a few Brontë surprises in the settings, as you can see in the picture:

Seit 2003 wird das Wasserschloss Hallwyl im Kanton Aargau alle drei Jahre zur Kulisse einer Operninszenierung. Diesmal stehen für den «Barbiere di Siviglia» Bücher auf der Bühne, zwei, drei, vier Meter hoch: Brontës «Jane Eyre» und «The Professor», Austens «Sense and Sensibility», dazu als abgründiger Einschub die «Medea» des Euripides (Reclam-Ausgabe). (Translation)

Curiously it was Rossini's opera that Charlotte (and Anne) Brontë went to see in July 1848 accompanied by her publisher George Smith at the old Covent Garden in London.

The Santa Fe Reporter dismisses the rumours that associated Frédéric Chaslin's quitting his position as chief conductor of the Santa Fe Opera with his Wuthering Heights opera:

[Joyce] Idema [  SFO's director of press and public relations ] rejects any rumors that Chaslin is leaving because the Santa Fe Opera refused to produce Wuthering Heights."As a matter of fact, he was quite clear about that," Idema says. "I once said to him, 'Maybe we should do your opera.' He said, 'No, no, no! Not while I’m conductor.'...That had nothing to do with [his departure]." (Alexa Schirtzinger)

Brad Bevet on Rope of Silicon is not too thrilled about the US premiere of Wuthering Heights 2011:

Also getting a limited release is Andrea Arnold's Wuthering Heights (...) From what I've gathered about both, neither seem to be my alley. Arnold's adaptation of Brontë sounds very minimalist and esoteric[.]

This article on Cool Age (India) is a good example of modern Luddites:

What happened to the good old reading habits? People now have access to ebooks, and kindle readers and the good old ink on paper is dying! Arundhati Sharma from Sri Venkateswara College argues that the books these days are highly priced, tough to find compared to the easily available ebooks. I grudgingly admit that the points she made are valid but nothing compares to curling up with a tattered copy of an old classic and letting the sweet smell transport you to Brontë moors! (Vernika Awal)

USA Today remembers something quite obvious that, however, needs to be remembered:

In the romance world, the plot is an eternal trope - hello Mr. Rochester and Jane Eyre (fortune adjusted for inflation) - in the same way mystery writers and their fans never tire of plots revolving around crazed serial killers with determined detectives hot on the trail.  (Deirdre Donahue)

The New Zealand Herald talks about Kate Sylvester's new collection:

Kate Sylvester, whose show is tomorrow night, wanted to move her collection's initial idea along. The original romantic notion of Jane Eyre running off with her lover to live happily ever after in the South of France had yielded a pretty Victorian-inspired look, developed in conjunction with her long-time stylist, Karen Inderbitzen-Waller, who explains: "We've adapted the look. We've done the look-book, the campaign, a little film on it, and now this." This is a more dishevelled look, reflecting that the show is an evening event in a bar, rather than pitched at trade buyers.

We are still laughing after reading this review on SFX of the James Bond movie The Living Daylights (1987) with Timothy Dalton (who has been both Rochester and Heathcliff in Jane Eyre 1983 and Wuthering Heights 1970 respectively) playing Bond:

Yes, there are moments when he plays it like Heathcliff confronted by a particularly confounding tax return[.] (Nick Setchfield)

This writer at The Rochester Post-Bulletin reminisces about her school years:

Mr. Dyrud, my 12th-grade literature teacher, was so enthusiastic about Emily Brontë’s "Wuthering Heights" — diagraming the novel’s plot on the board with wild, chalk-dusty swipes of his arm — that I’d go to bed early at night just to curl up with the next chapter. (Jennifer Koski)

Tygodnik Powszechny (Poland) reviews the two Anne Brontë novels, Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall:

Bohaterka przetrwa te próby i doczeka się nagrody, jednak nad jej historią, mimo pokrzepiającego happy endu, unosi się aura smutku. Nie ma tu wielkich namiętności, jest precyzyjnie i nie bez ironii sportretowana codzienność wczesnowiktoriańskiej prowincji oraz niewesołe, a miejscami drapieżne studium charakterów – widać, że Anne Brontë, która sama była przez kilka lat guwernantką, szkicowała je z natury... (...)
Postać Helen Huntingdon wykracza poza konwencje epoki: młoda kobieta wypowiada wojnę obowiązującym regułom, decyduje się uciec od męża, zabierając ze sobą synka, by uchronić go przed deprawacją. Jest to zresztą jedyna droga w świecie, w którym małżeństwo oznacza dla kobiety „zaprzedanie się w niewolę” (to cytat!). Wagi symbolu nabiera scena, w której Arthur na oczach bezsilnej żony demonstracyjnie pali w kominku jej przybory malarskie i szkice... I choć Helen pozostaje do końca postacią nieznośnie wręcz szlachetną, a jej cnota doczeka się ziemskiej nagrody, w chwili ukazania się powieść Anne Brontë wywołała u wielu zgorszenie. Dziś nadal warta jest lektury, podobnie jak dzieła dwóch sławniejszych sióstr. (Translation)

Pasje i fascynacje mola książkowego...nie tylko literackie... and Zakurzona Pólka (in Polish) also review Agnes Grey.

El Correo Vasco (Spain) reviews the Spanish DVD edition of Jane Eyre 2011:

Una cámara sobria, unas iluminaciones matizadas, un tono intimista y unos decorados sin excesivos barroquismos, ayudan a degustar 'Jane Eyre' sin complejos. Asimismo, la creación de una atmósfera gótica contribuye al éxito de la empresa, sensible y nada folletinesca. Porque la elegante ironía de su máximo responsable, la ternura con que contempla a sus protagonistas y la conmovedora forma con que estos son encarnados por la actriz australiana, de ascendencia polaca, Mia Wasikowska (la pudimos ver en 'Alicia en el país de las maravillas') y el actor irlandés, de ascendencia alemana, Michael Fassbender (al que ahora mismo podemos admirar en 'Prometheus') convierten a la película en una notable reflexión sobre la dificultad de amar y ser amado. (Antón Merikaetxebarria) (Translate)

Artezblai discusses music in the stage:

Actualmente en la creación de cine y teatro está plenamente asumido que la música resulta crucial cuando se trata de tocar el lado emotivo del espectador. Tanto que incluso no habiendo música en sentido estricto, muchos creadores utilizan los sonidos con la delicadeza con la que se compone una banda sonora. En cine un ejemplo admirable es la última película de Andrea Arnold, una versión contemporánea de "Cumbres borrascosas", cuya música está hecha de vientos de montaña y de las respiraciones de los personajes. (Borja Ruiz) (Translation)

Wittle People Wednesday #2- August 29, 2012

Welcome to the 2nd week of "Wittle People Wednesday," the new linky hosted by Ashley of Ramblings and Photos by Ashley Sisk.

I decided this would be fun to link up to as I am always taking pictures. I use some for Wordless Wednesday, some for the Scavenger Hunt Sunday (also hosted by Ashley) and some in my homeschool posts (the weekly review and the Kids and a Mom in the Kitchen posts), but sometimes there are pictures I would love to share that just didn't find a way into a post. 

Here are some I have taken recently:

Baby Harold has decided it is fun to play with the spoon while I am trying to feed him.

We spent our Sunday afternoon at Harold's three kids' graduation party. 

The girls enjoyed the playground. I have pictures of Tabitha and Amelia on this same playground from 2 years ago. I wish I could find the pictures to compare. I remember one of my favorite pictures was taken there. Maybe one day I will find it, I searched, but I don't think I shared it on my blog in a post. I think it was a part of my old header (after reading something in an old post).

Harold with his first grandchild. She thought it would be fun to pet her Uncle Harold. 

He didn't think so...

More messy baby pictures.
