Dear SHARERS, 
 
A new year. Year 3 for SHARE!! Back from our holidays...it´s hot and sticky and rainy (God knows it is! ) but we could wait no longer. We wanted to start
writing SHARE again . And it feels so good!
Why ? 
Would you accept this message by Susana Bosso, susanabosso@citynet.net.ar as
an answer?
 

"Este es un mensaje de amor y agradecimiento a dos queridos amigos que me han acompañado todo el año a pesar de sus ocupaciones, sus problemas y su salud.

En el árbol de los amigos les quiero decir que ocupan un lugar preferencial y que son de los que hacen al árbol de raíces más profunda , las ramas más grandes y que da sombra placentera ayudando a hacer nuestra profesión más amena y a hacernos sentir que no estamos solos.

Feliz Navidad y próspero año nuevo en paz y amor." 

Thank you Susana and a big, big hug from the heart.
Thank you all dear SHARERS for being there again.

1.-    RECIPE FOR A HAPPY NEW YEAR
 
Our dear SHARER from Córdoba Capital, Christian Duarte Varela, chrislio@arnet.com.ar sends us  what he calls  "a very special recipe by an unknown author".  
 
" Take twelve whole months.
Clean them thoroughly of all bitterness, hate, and jealousy.
Make them just as fresh and clean as possible.
 
Now cut each month into twenty-eight, thirty, or thirty-one different parts, but don't make up the whole batch at once.
Prepare it one day at a time out of these ingredients.
 
Mix well into each day one part of faith, one part of patience, one part of courage, and one part of work.
 
Add to each day one part of hope, faithfulness, generosity, and kindness.
Blend with one part prayer, one part meditation, and one good deed.
 
Season the whole with a dash of good spirits, a sprinkle of fun, a pinch of play, and a cupful of good humor.
 
Pour all of this into a vessel of love.
 
Cook thoroughly over radiant joy, garnish with a smile, and serve with quietness, unselfishness, and cheerfulness.
 
You're bound to have a happy new year. "
 
Beautiful!  We´ve already printed it out and placed it in our new diary. It makes a nice present too. We translated it and sent a copy to some of our friends.   
Well done, Chris !!

3.-    YOUR COMPUTER MELTED DOWN? GREAT !
 
Our dear friend and SHARER Bethina Viale from Rosario, velvia@ciudad.com.ar sent us this wonderful piece for reflection "Disguised Blessings"  by Joseph B. Walker:  
 
"There is a place where modern technological conveniences go to die.
My place.
During the past week alone we have sent our van's fuel pump to the automotive afterlife, our washing machine to laundry Valhalla and our home computer through those big Windows in the sky.
They join the lifeless metallic bodies of our dishwasher, our microwave oven and our food processor, all of which have given up the electronic ghost during the last few months.  If there were laws against appliance abuse, I'd be public enemy number one.  Thankfully, we do better with living things -- not counting household plants, flowers, grass and tomatoes.
Our five children somehow manage to survive -- even thrive -- despite all the bad feng shui and negative karma.  They are all healthy, happy and well-adjusted, give or take the occasional drama major.  And that, after all, is what really matters.
At least, that's what my wife Anita said.
"This is just stuff," she said soothingly, reassuringly, as I wrote out a check to cover the installation of the new fuel pump.
"Yes it is," I said, my fingers still trembling.  "Very expensive stuff.  Do you realize that this fuel pump is costing me more than the first car I bought?"
She smiled playfully.  "What a blessing!" she said.  I looked at her curiously.
"A blessing?" I asked.  "We just spent an entire freelance check on a fuel pump, and you think it's a blessing?"
"Uh-huh," she said.  "What a blessing that we had the money to cover it!"  She had a valid point -- as usual.  But I couldn't let her win this easily.
"What about losing the washing machine at the same time?" I asked.
"Was that a blessing, too?"
"Sure," she said.  "My brother feels good about letting us use his machine, and I'm able to spend a little more time with him and his family while I wash our clothes at his house.  And I'm really going to appreciate our new washer when we get it."  She was good.  No question about it.
Twenty-three years of living with me had given her plenty of experience at searching for silver linings.  But I knew I had her with the last one.
"And what about our computer melt-down?" I asked.  "What's the blessing in that?"
A worried look crossed her face.  This was tough, no question about it.  It's like they say: everyone makes mistakes, but it takes a computer to really foul things up.  Then, suddenly, she brightened.
"You're not staying up so late working on the computer," she said, "so you're getting a lot more sleep!  That's a good thing, isn't it?"
She had me there.  I had actually noticed how much better I had been feeling the past few days, and had already attributed it to getting more sleep.
"OK, I give up -- you win!" I said.  "But how do you do that?"
"Do what?"
"You know -- what you're doing," I said.  "Finding the blessing in the curse."
"Oh, that," she said.  "It isn't hard, really.  The blessing is always there -- somewhere.  You just have to look for it.  Sometimes you have to look pretty hard.  But it's there."
Even at my place."
 
Worth giving it a thought, don´t you think? Thank you, Bethina and keep on SHARING.
 
 
4.-  NEW TEACHERS´ASSOCIATION
 
Our dear SHARER Cecilia Bravo de Infante, carlosic@teletel.com.ar writes to us :
 
"Dear Omar and Marina,

A big hug from your friends in Santiago del Estero."
 
A heartfelt Hooray and all our best wishes for the new Association. In these days of selfishness and utter individualism, it is really rewarding to see how a group of teachers have decided to create a new space for SHARING experiences, plans, hopes, and illusions with their colleagues. For the benefit of our profession at large we need many more of these ELT associations, centres, athenaeums and forums throughout the country. Congratulations to the Excutive Committee of APISE !
 
5.-  BUZZWORDS
 
Did you know that our dear SHARER Silvia Tubio is co-publisher of  an electronic magazine for Teachers of Business English? Did you know you can subscribe to it for free? 
To subscribe send a blank e-mail to: tbusiness-subscribe@listbot.com.
Here as an appetizer a section of her last e-zine:
 
Buzzwords
 
By now you are familiar with many of them. Here are some just for fun, hoping they do not apply in your company..
 
Blamestorming: Sitting around in a group discussing why a deadline was missed or
a project failed and who was responsible.
 
Seagull Manager: A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps all over
everything and then leaves.
 
Adminisphere: The rarefied organizational layers beginning just above the rank
and file. Decisions that fall from the adminisphere are often profoundly
inappropriate or irrelevant to the problems they were designed to solve.
 
Ohno-second:  That minuscule fraction of time in which realize that you've just
made a BIG mistake. Like making the selection that reformats your hard drive. No nanoseconds here, your "Oh, no!" can stretch for a long while until you come up with some "smart" idea.
 
6.-   BERNIEH´S CORNER :  HOW THE QUEEN HAS CHANGED
 
Hello, dear SHARERS!
 
As a little Comeback present for everybody on this list, I am posting an interesting short-article by Ian Stuart, where the author describes how the Queen's (spoken) English has been evolving in recent years. So, from now on, when you hear any of various mispronunciations I am so fond of perpetrating, please bear in mind that they are not wrongly produced sounds, but just my way of following the trend :-)
 
Regards,
Bernieh.
 -----------------------------------------
If you want to get a hid get a het
by Ian Stuart
December 22, 2000
http://www.themestream.com/articles/271549.html
 
The Italian Mafia make you an offer you can't refuse; the Glasgow Mafia
make you an offer you can't understand. That used to be the case, anyway.
But regional accents are in a turmoil at the moment. Firms operating call
centres and telephone help lines like the Scottish accent because it sounds
honest and reassuring; a bluff Yorkshire accent is also acceptable- but
Brummie (Midlands) and Welsh sound a bit...fly...dishonest. That's what the
market research boys say anyway.
 
And spoken English is changing faster than ever before. For the last ten years Estuary English (EE)  has been working its way up from the south east of the country. Apart from linguistic crimes such as "well good" and "innit", EE tends to lose the final consonants (and often intermediate consonants as well)- and even vowel sounds are changing. There is no longer any great distinction between "to" and "too" - both of them tend to come out as "tew" - listen tew Tony Blair if you don't believe me. Of course, some EE is just old fashioned Cockney - "blood" - or "blud" as a Yorkshireman would say it, comes out as "blad" or "bled" if you are a bit higher up the food chain.
 
That is part of the problem, you see. Spoken English is not simply an indicator of origin - it is also an indicator of social class. And even the lady at the very top of the food chain - ODQ (Our Dear Queen) is not immune from linguistic influences.
 
In a fascinating piece of research published in "Nature" Doctor Harrington of MqQuarie University in Sydney has been examining recordings of the Queen's Christmas message over the last forty years. And the changes are astounding. In the fifties, the Queen pronounced " pat" "mat" and "hat" as "pet" "met" and "het" - now she flattens the vowel and moves it further forward in the mouth. "Hid" "head" and "had" - once almost indistinguishable, are now given their separate values. She does the "tew" thing as well. The man who looked after the palace grounds, once known as "the grindsman" has got his proper title at last, and one's "hice" has become a house again .
 
My theory is that this is all part of the humanisation of the monarchy. Post-Diana, scared stiff that the sweaty night-cap mob will soon be hammering at the gates, they have worked hard at sounding like everyone else. Or - more likely - its just a linguistic virus that's floating in the air. It will infect everyone - until the next one comes along and we all start sounding like Liverpudlians again.
 
A Happy Christmas tew you all.

8.-   ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER (ADD)  
 
Lately we have become more concerned about the  ADD _ Attention Deficit Disorder_ and the widespread treatment of such pathology with ritalin,  
as cases of children and adolescents suffering from this disorder seem to multiply in our classrooms.
The following is a selection links to websites  that discuss  some of the issues and impacts of using ritalin for Attention Deficit Disorder:

As David Dillard says in his posting to DUC : " None of the above is meant to constitute my providing medical, legal or pychological advice or counseling "
We make his words ours and hope this list of links might arouse the interest of our SHARERS to get more information on what seems to be a typical disease of 
our times.  

9.-   NEWS FROM UNIVERSIDAD DEL LITORAL 

 Our dear friend and SHARER Ana Jordán wrote to us at the end of December:

Dear Omar and Marina,  

How are you surviving the heat in the last strech of the year?  Hope you are both well. I would like to ask you to include this information about the "UNL Licenciatura" in the next Share. Thanks a lot.
Hope you have a good holiday!!  We all deserve one, don't we? Wish you both
and the kids a lovely Xmas and a wonderful new year!
Love,
Anne
 
Dear Colleagues,
 
In 1998, the Universidad Nacional del Litoral decided to start the Programa
de Carreras a Término in response to the increasing demand of non-university
tertiary graduates to upgrade their degrees.The UNL launched the Ciclos de Licenciatura, a  programme which obtained final approval through Resolution No 330/99 of the Ministry of Culture and Education. 
The course of studies is organised into three four-month modules and a
dissertation on the basis of 11 seminars with fortnightly meetings.
The success of the first edition has gone well beyond the initial expectations. In the taught modality, there are two groups of 90 students who are on their way to obtaining their 'licenciatura' degrees. One of these groups has completed the 11 seminars and is now working on their final tesina.
There are another 105 students who have enrolled in the distance learning scheme. And now, through an agreement signed with "Prebítero Sáenz" College of Education, UNL is offering its "Ciclo de Licenciatura en Inglés"  taught modality  in Lomas de Zamora, group 2. The course is open to Teachers and Translators.

10.-   I DON´T WANT TO SLEEP TONIGHT
 
Our dear SHARER  Maria Minghetti from Pila, Provincia de Buenos Aires has sent us this beautiful poem by Deborah Norville
 
Storyteller
I don't want to sleep tonight
 
I don't want to sleep tonight
There's a monster in my room
He waits until the lights go out
And fills the room with gloom.
 
In my dreams I see him hide,
In the bunk above my bed.
I wish that he would go away
And play somewhere else instead
 
He sneaks down the ladder
And crawls in bed with me.
He tickles behind my ears
And pinches me on my knee.
 
When I squeeze my eyes real tight
To make these monster disappear
They only seem to multiply,
There are fifty now, I fear!
 
The visitors are so scary
That I try to run away
But that monster, he holds me down
And in the bed stay.
 
My Daddy says my dreams
Are just movies in my head
But this movie's not for me at all,
I want happy dreams instead.
...................................
On those quiet days
When I've sat and read my books,
I go to sleep in quiet peace
No monster dirty looks!
 
There are other evenings, too,
When I've painted model cars,
Those monster must have struck a truce
For all I saw were stars
 
The moon was my companion
There was no sense of dread
And when I drifted off to sleep,
I saw candy canes instead.
 
When I don't play my video games
Or watch the TV set
I know my dreams will be so sweet
I makes me wish for sleep, you bet.
 
For when I close my eyes those nights
I find that I will see
A world of chocolate rivers
With fields of candy trees.
 
Or a place with friendly ponies
All corralled and ready to ride,
Or a bike with cool accessories,
Or those skates I've never tried.

Thank you, Mariqui for your contribution ... and the momories it brought!!

12.-   PROVERBS FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM 

A dear SHARER from Mendoza, Fabián Peluempo swordfish@hotmail.com sends us this list of newly coined proverbs : 

C:\ is the root of all directories.

A journey of a thousand sites begins with a single click.

You can't teach a new mouse old clicks.

What boots up must come down.

Anywhere you hang your @ is home.

Too many clicks spoil the browse.

Don't byte off more than you can view.

The geek shall inherit the earth.

Fax are stranger than fiction.

 Virtual reality is its own reward.

A user and his leisure time are easily parted.

Oh, what a tangled website we weave when first we practise.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach him to use The Net and he won't bother you for weeks.

Thank you for your contribution, Fabián.  

13.-   COURSES  IN  URUGUAY

Our dear SHARER, Martin Inthamoussú, teacher at Instituto Cultural Anglo- Uruguayo and freelance trainer at different institutions in Montevideo offers

Time to say goodbye. This time we will let our dear SHARER Lily Alpert to speak for us. Here´s her parting blessing which we wanted to  SHARE with all of you.  
 
Dear Marina and Omar:
 
A great warm hug from a silent SHARER who has not had time up to now, to contact and thank you for all the great things  we have all been able to share thanks to your e-mail newsletter. I hope you will find a small space so I can share this wonderful blessing.

May the road rise
up to meet you
May the wind be
always at your back.
May the sun shine
warm upon your face
May the rains fall
soft upon your fields
and until we meet again
May God hold you      
in the palm of his hand.               
 
An olde Irish blessing
 
 
HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK
 
Omar and Marina
