<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently saw <i>Frozen </i>the cinema in Feilding. This is SUCH a COOL movie! (No pun and some pun intended.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="224" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQLesI25zzfj9blotCzki_iIEKGdJVOg8xia9XWMUMyuN6a19Bvdg" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The film is full of action, humour, and INCREDIBLE music! The songs and music are so neat!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay, so I'm going to try a slightly different approach to this review: since this is a new movie, I don't want to give too much away.</div>

Anna is the main character. She is the princess of Arendelle, daughter of the king and queen who die in a shipwreck. She is probably my favourite Disney heroines (if they can be called "heroines"). She is fun, kind, humorous and slightly naive. She is a very like-able character. Being naive is her weakpoint; because she has been locked up in the castle all her life (ever since she was 5 (see picture)) .</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She doesn't know a lot about the world. Not in an extreme way, like Rapunzel in Tangled, just that she's been isolated for a long, long time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is brave on the impulse of the moment and loves her sister very much.</div>

Elsa is Anna's older sister who was born with a magical but dangerous power that allows her to "conduct" ice from her fingers. When the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
girls are little, Elsa is playing with her "ice" and she accidentally strikes Anna on the head, making her unconscious. Anna is healed, but if it had struck Anna's heart, she would have died. So Elsa is kept inside her room all the time, and she has to try to control her powers. But, Elsa's powers are getting stronger as she grows older. Eventually, on the day she is old enough to be crowned queen, the power is so strong she has to try very hard to control it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the day of the coronation, Anna is ecstatic that she is finally "released" to the world. She falls in love for the first time, and sings "Love is an Open Door", one of my favourite songs (which is a pity ;) But I don't want to give any spoilers).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Yes, there's a horse. And he is a little bit like Maximus from "Tangled", but has a very minor part.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When Elsa gets upset at the Coronation party, she accidentally reveals her powers in front of everyone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She flees from the kingdom, thinking she can live alone and hide.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The people of Arendelle are scared of Elsa, and some set out after her to chain her up, thinking she is a danger and a monster. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At the same time, Anna sets out to bring her sister back. On the way she meets lonely, awkward, but dashing Kristoff</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Helped by her new friends, Anna sets off to find her sister and discover the truth....with a few twists.</div>

Let's just say people aren't always what they seem ;).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This movie has adventure, (a little romance), excitement and humour (mostly provided by Olaf).</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall, I think I would give this movie 9/10.</div>

<br />
Our Church, <a href="http://www.rcnzonline.com/palmnorth/">The Reformed Church of Palmerston North</a>, have just recently had their new building completed! The work on the existing building started about this time last year, and we have been worshiping in the school hall across the road since then. In October we are tying the opening of the new building in with the 60th birthday celebrations of the church!<br />
<br />
Catechism classes are in the new building on Tuesday night, and Church there on Sunday (hopefully). The entire building is so - flash, amazing, it's just super!<br />
<br />
I simply cannot wait till Sunday!<br />
<br />
Before I go, I must give you my apologies for my absence of late, and the shortness of this post.<br />
<br />
Next time (hopefully) I shall bring you a movie review on a surprise film =)<br />

Sorry I haven't posted in such a long time!</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow; color: magenta;">IT IS SCHOOL HOLIDAYS!!!!!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow; color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta;">Monday we had swimming and band practice (we expect to be played for the Feilding Music Society in May)</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Tuesday was Catechism break-up with supper (lollies, chips, more lollies)</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Wednesday night little brother Thomas broke his arm when he fell on his hard floor in his bedroom. Dad and I took him to A&E at the Hospital at 5:30pm, saw the doctor @ 9:30 pm, x-ray was over by 10:10pm, and waited til 1:00am for the cast, went home, and Dad took Thomas back later that morning. Got it casted and everything in 2-3 hours. Needless to say, I got very little sleep that night.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Thursday was nothing much; catching up on sleep ;-)</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Friday we picked apples and made apple crumble</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Saturday made apple sauce</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Sunday, Church</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Monday, more apple sauce and a prospective visit to the Library - stock up on books and movies for the School Holidays!</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta;">Have a great week,</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">love,</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now I want to discuss the overall movie quality.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firstly the music. Okay, it is an old movie, right, so the music is old (make that ancient). The actual tune of the music is quite cool though, just a bit tinny. Thing is, you sometimes have music when you don't really need it, and not when you could really do with it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then there's the filming/photography. Basically this was okay, nothing special, but the scenery was amazing, the real place! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As for the acting.....old actors tend to be ....well, maybe it's just me, but they just seem a bit weird, just a little too life-like. Which reminds me, the storyline is incredibly close to the book - almost too close; except for on thing: they removed one character, and added another. The added character, as I mentioned in part one, was Hildy, and the character they removed was Howard McLaughlin. Ken's brother Howard was the typical older brother, always teasing him about his low grades, and his day-dreaming, AND he has a colt of his own, Highboy, which annoys Ken most of all. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I like the opening credits though; the names on pages of a book that were turned. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The stunts are good too, you don't have stunties to ride the horses, which adds to the authenticty of the film; you don't have to avoid showing both horse and rider at the same time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would reccomend the movie for any age, and the book for 10 years and up, except it has bad language, which is not put into the movie.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall I would give My Friend Flicka a 6/10 for quality, and 8/10 for authenticity. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />

<br />
<div align="center">
Finally found the real thing!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Old as anything, but at least it's genuine!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Anyway, to start the review, I'll go through the characters in the film.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
1. Ken McLaughlin:</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<img alt="" class="rg_hi uh_hi" data-height="205" data-width="160" height="205" id="rg_hi" src="https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQnX6R8Q5rBBpwebbxHh-Cekk__jOB7USGwSYO8zNz9JRh6-JshRA" style="height: 205px; width: 160px;" width="160" /></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Okay, Roddy McDowall is a good actor, but his <strike>VOICE!</strike> His ACCENT!! He sounds like</div>
<div align="center">
some English girl!! Anyway, back to the character.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTN9OA9Kcjnz0obyUGmdDlA4P8afddMn7HxIrcp6MpKZr9ImsMKLw" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" class="rg_hi uh_hi" data-height="199" data-width="253" height="199" id="rg_hi" src="https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTN9OA9Kcjnz0obyUGmdDlA4P8afddMn7HxIrcp6MpKZr9ImsMKLw" style="height: 199px; width: 253px;" width="253" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let's just say he's a flunk at schoolwork. (aren't we all??) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seen there with Diana Hale, who plays Hildy. More about her in a sec.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, first, I'll go to the second most important character.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Flicka:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="" class="rg_hi uh_hi" data-height="200" data-width="252" height="200" id="rg_hi" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQbd8xU8Bz27LUi819XqSmTFiyznSMIl2ILYz-Mzalyto4h1xizSg" style="height: 200px; width: 252px;" width="252" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Only picture I could get. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Um... she's pretty...not loco..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
hey, she's a horse, so she does her job!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Robert (or Rob) McLaughlin:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="" class="rg_hi uh_hi" data-height="200" data-width="252" height="200" id="rg_hi" src="https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT6SCa6I7GYePk7LIrJz9X5Ela8UgBMqYdeGzB4hCxHfXRvjy0O" style="height: 200px; width: 252px;" width="252" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only picture I could find of him. Obviously not Preston Foster's most famous movie.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He plays Rob pretty well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Nell McLaughlin:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="" class="rg_hi uh_hi" data-height="248" data-width="203" height="248" id="rg_hi" src="https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTa7Q_5EEQ162ydyGShK5MYhDSDkwqjgmzQQDVg-7g9J72GXlloxQ" style="height: 248px; width: 203px;" width="203" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Actor Rita Johnson.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She does not look like that in the movie!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Hildy:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hildy is a made-up character. But, hey, improvements can be good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="" class="rg_hi uh_hi" data-height="194" data-width="259" height="194" id="rg_hi" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQJpcg2Q6SqZEjaPrFeDNMK2Z3oTYfTJqNngEQJ0P9opkKFePWK" style="height: 194px; width: 259px;" width="259" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She's a real talkative, cute, little girl, who acts very grown up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="" class="rg_hi uh_hi" data-height="194" data-width="260" height="194" id="rg_hi" src="https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR-F5xhVJzdc5jgCyQErt9NIqZl70dwQhKEXyC0eZzGLcWfxs64rg" style="height: 194px; width: 260px;" width="260" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Probably eats too much too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="" class="rg_hi uh_hi" data-height="199" data-width="253" height="199" id="rg_hi" src="https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTN9OA9Kcjnz0obyUGmdDlA4P8afddMn7HxIrcp6MpKZr9ImsMKLw" style="height: 199px; width: 253px;" width="253" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Whenever I do sumpin' dumb, my momma says I sure am like the old man.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And whenever I do sumpin' smart, my pop says I sure don't take after the old lady."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="" class="rg_hi uh_hi" data-height="212" data-width="238" height="212" id="rg_hi" src="https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTBcBbzmebarS3VKl8Witxz22QgZA6PW9shuN_8OFkCwNvpKX0saw" style="height: 212px; width: 238px;" width="238" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, she wears a dress sometimes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another favourite quote:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ken - "Hildy, don't do that! Cigarette will kick you!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hildy - "He better don't, or I'll kick 'im back!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She'd be on my list of the top ten cutest kids in movies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gus & Tim are farmhands. Hildy is Gus's daughter.</div>

<br />
You Need:<br />
4 mentos peppermints<br />
1 bottle of CocoCola (preferably outside) where you can make some mess<br />
<br />
Instuctions:<br />

This term I am working on Abeka Grammar and Composition II, Grade 8, Arithmetic 6, Latin, history, botany and general science studies. Afternoons include music practice, maybe some baking, and occasionally a game of Settlers of Catan. All round I still can't wait till the next holidays!Emily Blakeneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09253165290676300353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779923176394418682.post-60544458736664615602011-04-18T17:28:00.000-07:002011-04-18T17:35:30.367-07:00Cushion Tutorial<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You will need:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Two contrasting fabrics</span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A sewing machine </span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A rotary cutter</span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A sewing ruler</span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A cutting mat</span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana;">Cotton stuffing</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. To begin, cut three pieces of one fabric, and two of the other, each mesuring 4'' by 12''.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. Stitch together one by one, until you have them all stitched.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. Cut a backing the same measurement a the 4'' by 12'' pieces all together.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. Reverse side out, stitch together, leaving a 2'' gap.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5. fill with stuffing, and close up the hole. (machine would be neater, but hand sewn would hide it better)</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let me know if it works for you!</span><br />

There was a lovely greenhouse with a little fountain, waterfall, and goldfish. I managed to get a (silent) video of inside.(It may be a little blurry)<br />

We stopped to go to the Esplanade Cafe for lunch, and spent most of the afternoon there. It was a nice day, but a certain area of the playground was being worked on, so, unfortunately, the Flying Fox was taped off :-(<br />
It was still alot of fun, though!Emily Blakeneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09253165290676300353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779923176394418682.post-18691407014704311502011-04-07T15:47:00.000-07:002011-04-07T16:00:28.117-07:00I AM ~ God's Predicate Nominative<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>"I am thy sheild and thy exceeding great reward."</em></span><br />
