I can't speak for hospitals, but in the school district in which I teach, there are plenty of teachers whose spouses are administrators (principals/ vice-principals). They will never move an admin to a school where a spouse is teaching, and vice versa (though, they can be an admin if their child attends that school, just not their spouse).

New Season begins Monday, April 1. https://www.foodnetwork.ca/shows/top-chef-canada/blog/top-chef-canada-season-7-reveals-new-twist/

I have heard about this dress--thanks for sharing the video @LennieBriscoe! As for AR, I live about a 2 hour drive from Whistler Mountain. Nobody would be wearing that anywhere. I'm sadly not surprised that we're only down to one International contestant. I wonder if Biddell will actually make it to the finale, or if it will be an all-American "International" finale?

As a teacher, there's no way that I would have published a student's writing without their permission. I specifically ask permission of any student to keep an assignment or project to show future students, or if it's a poster-type project that is being posted in the class, I specifically have them put their names on the back, so others can't see it. Students deserve their privacy as much as adults do. I felt a little bad that the teacher cried, but only a tiny, tiny bit. And Randall. I thought bad words when you had the audacity to tell your wife that she needs to quit her job. I agree with all the above posters that there are lots of qualified college/university students who would do a fabulous job with the girls. It's only that phone call that saved you from getting a whole world of hurt from Beth.

I believe that in the So You Think you Can Dance Forum, it's called HMTaB (for Twig and Berries).

And for Canadians, it’s airing on our Bravo starting the same date!

I didn’t know who he was, but that’s probably because I’m Canadian, and while we know many prominent African-Americans, we won’t know them all, as we also know about our prominent black Canadians, Having said that, I’ve got a Viola Desmond $10 bill hidden in my wallet, that I’ll never spend.

I watched in Canada, so nothing got bleeped. And apparently, the ending was changed at the last minute. Speaking of swearing, Aaron Korsch tweeted that it was going to be a "f#$%storm", and he was right! https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/suits-creator-changed-season-8-finale-at-the-last-minute/

Both of your comments really resonated with me, and it's one of my big issues with watching dance competitions on TV (as well as in real life). I get that the audience needs to have something to watch, but the preference of tricks over actual dance ability and technique cheapens dance and cheapens the show. It's not that tricks aren't amazing to watch--they are. But when the whole performance becomes about bigger and more amazing (and potentially more career-ending dangerous) to watch, it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. And don't get me started about whoever decided that pulling faces was something that we wanted to see in dance. It drove me crazy in Cheer, and it makes me irrationally angry in a dance performance!

My class had a discussion about his (in my opinion fabulous) outfit, and who "can" wear what. Why is it considered ok for a woman to wear a pantsuit or even a tuxedo, but it's shocking for Billy to wear (the hell out of) a gown? It made for a great class discussion!

Yes, it was Season 8, episode 1 (I just showed it to my students--somebody had to use Casanova's $1000 Dolce and Gabanna pants that he was wearing). They also did something similar during Season 2, where the designer went home partially because she didn't want to ruin her family heirloom Hermes scarf and Andre had a meltdown on the runway.

He was on a TV show called "Crossing Lines, starting in Season 3". It's available on Netflix.

We’re a few seasons behind in Canada (we’re on the season of the Angry, Angry Man and the “king” of seafood, Josh). I’ve heard some stories about the current season that makes me both want to watch it, and run far far away.

I wonder if it's because of the reorganization. As there hasn't been a lot of people/posts on this, it's considered less popular, so got moved into this post (I know there's a fancy name for the different types of boards on this page, but can't remember what any of them are).

Thoughts: The body language between Django and Anna during her critique in the workroom was so telling—there is no love lost between the two of them. Django’s dress was Chanel meets The Colour Purple. I loved the hat, but the rest, meh What the (insert bad word here) was Alyssa wearing?

I would have loved to see how JC Penny reimagined the winning look for their site. It’s a shame that we’ll never know (or maybe it’s a blessing in disguise).

It’s Evan Biddell. I guess he goes by one name now.

I'm a total food safety person, it's one of the things that I teach, and totally agree with you. But, I was just reading this article about Adrienne being pregnant, and I'm wondering if it was pregnancy related sickness, which is why they allowed her to compete. https://www.foodandwine.com/news/top-chef/season-16/adrienne-wright-pregnant-chef-interview I don't know the timing of when they filmed this, and how far along she is to figure out whether or not she was actually pregnant then. Having said that, the show typically does not demonstrate great commitment to food safety, like the quickfire when they took cooking supplies from a Target (at least I think it was a Target), and simply took them out of the package and started using them, or every time they are sent to a location and simply start cooking--do they have access to a sink to at least wash their hands while they're cooking?

I read Fauna Hodel’s book, One Day She’ll Darken (a greatbook, BTW), and it focuses more on her growing up years. I put one note behind a spoiler, as I’ve always wanted to use it! I get the sense from clips that I’ve seen that there’s a lot in this series that’s not related to her book. I don’t know much about the case, but I’m interested to see where this goes.

You can, but don’t have to. I pick out my hair every morning, then twist it up. Ihaveextremely curly hair and found that if I didn’t pick it daily, it became really tough to do when I’d wash my hair (which I only do once a week). I currently use a towel to twist my hair, but would buy this product. I’m glad they got a deal.

@queenjen What state are you in? I lived in SA about 10 years ago, and my hairdresser was from Ghana. I made sure to research before I got there to find a place that could do black hair. I was very happy that I didn't have to go interstate. A friend sent me a message to say that it was 48C in Adelaide. I remember crying when it was 46C--you must be positively sobbing. Stay cool!

I've had my class watching the second season of this show, and they are totally hooked. My class of normally chatting, off-task Gr. 12's were silent--cheering when their favourites won, and audibly gasping when baked goods fell. They were super excited to see that chocolate souffle was a technical challenge, as they had recently made one. We'll finish up the semester with the final. I had them predict at the beginning who they thought would win, and now they'll see whether or not they were right. Looking forward to next season!

For any Canadians, Bravo (the Canadian channel, not the American one) is starting airing the show this Wednesday, starting at 8pm, Eastern. They’re showing two episodes this week, and I’m assuming one next week, as Suits begins. We’ll probably be a week behind the American airing.

That's exactly what I was thinking, too. I was envisioning it on someone finishing their PhD, and having a cocktail party to celebrate.

I’ve used their nail polish in the past. If I remember correctly, it is low in some sort of “bad chemical” that is normally doing in nail polish, and was sold in Holt Renfrew, a Canadian version of Saks.
