Clowns, trapezes, and dancing dogs — no, this isn’t a Federico Fellini film , but rather an enchanting exhibition of traditional European circus.  I saw this last time when they came to Redwood City, and it’s a very fun and entertaining performance for all ages.

Running from Oct 14-24, Zoppé, an Italian Family Circus is a spectacular two-hour performance that will enthrall the entire family!

The Circus tent will be set up next to the Downtown Library at 1044 Middlefield Road in Redwood City and will host matinee and evening performances.  You can find the link to buy tickets right here.

BILL GATES SPEECH: 11 RULES YOUR KIDS DID NOT AND WILL NOT LEARN IN SCHOOL

September 7, 2010

NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 26:  Rock band Forever Th...

Written by Kent Summers on Wednesday, May 26, 2010 at 5:34am.
 
I thought this was really well written, since all of our children are in the process of just starting school or having gone back… Very well written….
Rule 1: Life is not fair – get used to it!

Rule 2: The world doesn’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent’s generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one

LABOR DAY FACTS

September 6, 2010

Just some fun trivia about Labor Day!

 
Just the facts …
 
Labor Day is celebrated this year on September 6 and is always the first Monday in September, decreed by President Grover Cleveland.
Canada also celebrates Labor Day.
The first Labor Day was a rally to fight for eight-hour workdays and better working conditions; at the time, in 1882, many people worked up to 16-hour days.
The Autumnal Equinox is on September 23 and marks the time when the center of the sun is level with the equator, meaning there is no tilt to the Earth‘s axis and daylight and nighttime are of approximately equal length.
