(1) For the 7th consecutive year, Wellington Debate is selling a variety of candles through Yankee Candle for the holiday season. This is a wonderful opportunity to not only buy unique candles for your home, but to buy holiday gifts for family, friends, loved ones, and anyone else for whom you feel so inclined. Yankee Candle also offers holiday gift wrapping, home and automobile air fresheners, gourmet pet treats and ornaments, and holiday-themes items as well.
NEW THIS YEAR! ORDERS CAN ALSO BE PLACED ONLINE! Go to http://www.yankeecandlefundraising.com/, and enter our Group Number (990006626) in the appropriate area. Then, start shopping!
This is a limited-time offer. The deadline to place orders for all items is Monday, October 14, in order to have them delivered well in advance of the holidays.
(2) Looooooooong day at the office, culminating with a "new debate coach workshop" from 6:30-9:30 p.m. Looks like the debate league will have a new member out of Pahokee this year (for the first time ever from that school). So exciting!
(3) Another new coaches workshop is next Wednesday, and new debate leaders from South Tech and Spanish River are among those expected to be in attendance. South Tech is a new program, Spanish River a revived one.
(4) Started working on the slave narrative in English today, with a reading and discussion of an excerpt from The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano. If you aren't familiar with his life ... which is, indeed, interesting ... click the link!
(5) Hard to fathom today is a Tuesday, since we were coming off a three-day weekend. With Thursday off due to Rosh Hashanah, it's a short, broken-up week. I'm already off my game, hope it improves!

Video of the Day
Holy Toledo! Down in the count 0-1, the Columbus Clippers' Ryan Rohlinger lifted a fly ball to left field. The routine out was made by Toledo Mud Hens left fielder Gustavo Nunez, who threw home to attempt to get Jeremy Hermida at the plate. Catcher Bryan Holaday snagged the throw, dove to apply the tag to Hermida, then ran halfway towards second base as Chin-Hsiu Chen was caught between bases. Second baseman Danny Worth collected Holaday’s throw, then quickly fired to first baseman Jordan Lennerton, who applied the tag on Chen for the third and final out of the game — a 7-2-4-5 triple play. The Mud Hens won 4-1 in their final game at home.
