Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
It appears that in November an effort was made to recruit a few happy families or faculty members who are also parents to post 5 star reviews. I would strongly urge prospective families to pay close attention to the earlier negative reviews. The primary grades are better than the upper grades and many people end up staying just because they don't want to switch schools after making friends and getting settled at a school but this school fosters a toxic environment. Kids and teachers bully children and there is no action taken. The administration is great at selling their story but there is no substance behind it; look into the specifics of their programs (such as Spanish, computers, art and music) and see that there is little depth. And, if you ever encounter a problem, they will do nothing to help you solve it. Don't get fooled by the PR .
We have had our children at Holy Family for the past decade and it is an excellent school. The community is welcoming, the administration is superb, and the teachers are caring. Is it perfect, no - but there is no school that is 100%. There have been isolated incidents of bullying, but these were dealt with fairly and swiftly and the school has a comprehensive anti-bullying program. Several parents have written poor reviews, but we would urge prospective families to see beyond the grudges of the few. Come to an open house at Holy Family and ask the students themselves if you want an unedited truthful answer about our school. Bottom line: we have found at Holy Family what hundreds of other families have found: great education, great values, and best of all, a wonderful community!
I'm very happy w Holy Family. We had a bullying issue w my child and it was dealt with swiftly. They really encourage the children to communicate amongst each other. The academics are high and I am very happy with how my child is doing. I also love the sense of community here.
Our family has been a member of the Holy Family School community for the last 5 years and have had a wonderful experience. Too many excellent factors to list: academic excellence and strong curriculum, helpful and supportive community, safe environment, small class sizes, individual attention to the students, communicative teachers & staff. We look forward to our kids growing up in the Holy Family School community and become very well prepared for their high school years. If you are looking for a place that is safe, nurturing, with strong academics and an amazing community, look no further.
Holy Family is a wonderful school and community. I have been a part of this community for the last three years. I have loved the opportunities given to my two children. They have Spanish, music, art, and PE weekly. The technology available to the students is on going. There are projectors and doc cams in all the classrooms. My children are challenged both academically and faithfully. I am excited about the sense of community I feel every time I set foot on campus. I love the ministries, sports, extra curricular activities that are offered to the students. This community has strong parental involvement that focus on best interests for all students. I am a proud Holy Family parent, and I am so grateful for the opportunity my children have to grow in the Catholic faith at such an amazing school.
Holy Family School has been an excellent educational experience for my two children. We have been at Holy Family School since 2004, and my oldest is now a successful student at Bellarmine. Over the years, the teachers have been friendly, supportive, and they provide a challenging curriculum. We have enjoyed the friendly environment of other families and the opportunity to get involved in a variety of school and parish activities. Both of my children have been involved in sports as well as student council and community service projects. Over the past two years, Holy Family has provided a stronger foreign language program. If you are looking for a school with a safe environment that puts the children at the forefront of education, then Holy Family will be a good fit for you and your child.
We've been at Holy Family for five years and have two children attending. We absolutely love it. The community is very warm and welcoming--very down to earth. The teachers we've had, while having different teaching styles, have all been excellent--approachable and committed to helping each child succeed. The academics are rigorous but not over-the-top. There are resources and programs to help students who need extra help or extra challenge. My children have benefitted from field trips and extracurricular programs and activities, which are offered at every grade level. They have also had access to many different forms of technology: tablets, laptops, etc. I've never felt like we were lacking. The administration, like any administration, has a tough job dealing with the challenges of balancing budgets in a rough economy, making tough decisions on where to focus resources, dealing with so many different families, etc, but I feel they do it fairly and appropriately. They have also been very approachable. No school is perfect, but we couldn't be happier with Holy Family. In talking to the local Catholic high schools, Holy Family alums are highly regarded.
Pros: - Class Sizes: Primary grades have about 20 kids per class with a teacher and an aide. -Teachers: The teachers hired in the last 5 or so years are quite good. The administration seems to be trying to improve on the quality of their teachers by hiring better teachers in recent years and firing some bad. -Facilities: The school buildings, materials, and facilities are nicely kept -Improving: The administration is forward thinking and is always coming up with ways to try and improve the school. -Families and parental involvement: Most of the families are very nice, and are involved in the school. -Safe environment: The school is practically hidden and is far off the street. The principal is a real stickler on safety and following all mandated guidelines. Cons: -Technology: While there is a nice computer lab with weekly classes, most of the primary grades do not have projectors, etc. to use -Administration: Big ideas, but doesn't always implement it well. Tends to play favorites among some of the families and some longtime teachers and lets them get away with things. -Teachers: A few long time teachers really need to go, and hold the school back from real growth.
The positive: there are some wonderful families at this school. The negative: There is a severe bullying issue at this school and the adminstration does not deal with it, even though there is a process documented in their handbook. If anything, they try to cover things up.The instruction provided at the school is at one level only. Any child that falls outside of that level is treated poorly and receives bad grades. We attended the school for 3 years and only had one "decent" teacher. The teachers are not very communicative unless they are complaining about your child and they don't offer solutions. At least the teachers we had didn't. The adminstration is unapproachable. They say one thing and do another. One of the teachers we had was very emotionally abusive and many children suffered under her instruction. There is not much with regards to extra curriculum. The music program is weak. There are few to no field trips. Overall, I don't think this is a healthy environment for most children.
Our child attended this school for 3 years. The administration is unfriendly. Several of the teachers are bullies. There is a bullying problem at the school and, although a policy exists, it is not followed -- no matter how severe the issue. The bullying seems to come from the top down. If children fall outside of the one level the school chooses to instruct at, they are singled out and ridiculed regularly. The self-esteem of several students at this school has been destroyed. The administration and staff seem unethical. Example: One teacher was hired to tutor our child after school. The teacher left the child unattended for the majority of the tutoring session to talk to other teachers, parents, etc... This has happened to more than one child. Parents are very involved at the school, but some of the helicopter parents that have become entrenched are also very toxic. This is unfortunate and lends to the oppressed culture of the school. Do your research, there are several other private schools in the area that offer stronger academics, extra curricular programs and an over all more positive atmosphere where your children will get a well-rounded education and excel.
We have two children at Holy Family and have been there for eight years. We are very happy with the school in general. Safe, family environment, great teachers/staff and after school activities/daycare. Lots of opportunity for parental involvement, during and after school.Would highly recommend this school. Parent
All three of my children attrnded Holy Family. We loved the warm family atmosphere and caring staff. We have made life long friends through our involvement with the school and consider Hioly Family a second home.
All of our children attended Holy Family school. While it was a sacrifice to pay tuition, we feel it was more than worth it. The faculty, staff, parents, and students present a warm, nurturing,and caring atmosphere where students can excel.
Wonderful community. The visibility of the administration is unlike anything I have ever seen. My family is so grateful to be there.
This school is amazing. Not only are my children getting a great education but the community is supportive and wondrful.
I love Holy Family School, this is our 5th year at the school and my kids are happy to get up in the morning and go to school. We've made some great friends at the school. The teachers are great and understanding and work well to make the kids feel good about themselves. Holy Family school has some great after school programs: Spanish, Chess, Schmahl Science, Lego Robotics, Newspapers, Homework club and more. I highly recommend this school.
Our family has been at Holy Family for 8 years with 2 students at the school now. We have 1 waiting to start Kinder. We have made life long friends and love our community. Our teachers and staff are the best Northern Cal. has to offer. They are family.
We have been at this school for 8 years and have met life-long friends. Our children love it here! The best thing about this school is that it produces well-rounded individuals - children are challenged academically and spiritually. Children see the importance of giving back to their community. It is a wonderful place.
My daughter goes to Holy Family and we all love the school. The teachers are very well-trained and are very good teachers. The teachers are well liked by the students also. The principal is very hands on and is ever present to the students and encourages them to have respect for teachers, themselves and parents. 98% of graduating 8th graders are going to the High School of their choice. The school has an almost brand new science lab, computer lab and library. There is a hot lunch program, sports and other after school clubs, and before and after school care at a reasonable rate.
This is our family's 4th year at the school and we couldn't be happier. This year HFS became the largest feeder school into Presentation High School and had the largest number of acceptances to date in to Bellarmine. The valedictorian at Archbishop Mitty this year is a past HFS graduate. The principal from Valley Christian has repeatedly complimented our graduates on their academic achievements, well-roundedness and attitude. Truly a terrific school as evidenced by the success of our graduates following their years at HFS.

St. Louis city and county are each preparing to give up a little power.
Come June, each government's say over taxicabs in the area will become that of a new Regional Taxicab Commission.
The commission was created with the hopes that one governing body would mean less red tape for the industry. But not everyone is looking forward to the new commission.

The Burlington Chamber Means Business!
In most communities the Chamber of Commerce is the lifeblood of businesses and companies that choose to live, work, sell and trade services and products with the folks of their towns and cities. Burlington is no different. Thanks to the cooperative efforts and hard work of the Burlington Chamber and the business community it serves, the city of Burlington has grown by leaps and bounds in the last 30 years, with much of that success stemming from strong business training, business promotion and Burlington networking.
In Burlington networking is a key part of business success for many business owners. Because of a strong exchange of ideas and a cooperative spirit in this community, business owners are reaching out to promote and support one another, making Burlington an attractive place in which to do business. "Since relocating our business to Skagit County in 2003 the Burlington Chamber has been instrumental in promoting the success of our company," said Stephanie and Darrell Hooper of Bayside Specialties, Inc. "By actively participating in Chamber networking opportunities we have experienced an increase in strong business relationships and client retention."
Robert A. Martin, Executive Director of Chinook Enterprises echoed this sentiment. "We were both honored and humbled by the outpouring of support and help from the Burlington Chamber. I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciated your help in 'getting the word out' for our event and then encouraging people to come."
Networking alone isn't always enough and that's why the Burlington Chamber is also a leader in providing continuing business training. By utilizing training programs and proven guidelines geared toward educating business owners on ways to improve their presence and product, the Chamber is helping to promote, enhance and build the core business sector of the city.
"The variety of classes offered are a wonderful addition for Chamber Members to keep up on new technology in order to more efficiently and effectively run their businesses," suggested Nancy Thomas, owner of Lickety Clips Grooming Salon and Pet Styling Academy.
Finally, once the training and networking is in place it becomes the Chamber's role to help promote the business community and encourage business owners to work at referrals, especially personal ones, which are often the most effective means of business marketing.
"Your dedication to new and future Chamber members is admirable! We are looking forward to becoming active Chamber members!" said Renee' Huseby, Professional Services Coordinator for TOC Management Services.

News of the Weird: Electric Chastity Belt
To counter the now-well-publicized culture of rape in India, three engineers in Chennai said in March that they are about to send to the market women's anti-rape lingerie, which will provide both a stun-gun-sized blast of electricity against an aggressor and a messaging system sending GPS location to family members and the police about an attack in progress. After the wearer engages a switch, anyone touching the fitted garment will, said one developer, get "the shock of his life" (even though the garment's skin side would be insulated). The only marketing holdup, according to a March report in The Indian Express, is finding a washable fabric.

Hello boys and girls!
Back with another NEW music dose for you. This time I'm going to focus on electronic music. So grab your glow sticks and soothers!
I'm going to start with an artist I saw tear it up @ Tomorrowland Festival in Belgium at the end of July. (check out last years video . Just a gong show! Anyways, Wolfgang Gartner played the main stage (pictured above) on day 2.
His latest video just arrived last week and it features your boyfriend from the Black Eyed Peas…will.i.am. The track is titled "Forever" and the video is pretty jokes!
I'm gonna stay with Tomorrowland and shout-out some home grown talent that I bumped into backstage…Keith from the Toronto based Autoerotique did a dirty set on the last day. His stage wasn't quite as large as the main stage, but it did feature a rotating dj booth, which was pretty cool. Autoerotique are on Steve Aoki's label Dim Mak Records. Steve Aoki was also there. If you like the dance music, you should check out Steve Aoki live at least once. He loves his alcohol, so his shows are usually high energy!
Lastly, I want to put it out there that I will be in attendance at Electric Zoo in NYC over the long weekend. 3 days of just awesomeness. Everybody who's anybody in the dance world is gonna be there. Headliners are Tiësto, David Guetta and Armin van Buuren. I'm amped to check out Diplo, Calvin Harris, Richie Hawtin (Canadian electronic music pioneer), Bloody Beetroots, Jaytech, Afrojack, and Chromeo (Canada really representing!). Also on the bill is Mr. dubstep, Skrillex. Deadmau5 signed Skrillex to his label over a year ago and MuchMusic finally got a video….and holy shit it's terrifying/amazing….Check it out
I'll be back with a detailed report of Electric Zoo in early September. Until then, enjoy what's left of the summer!

I go on a lot of road trips. I have to drive between Albuquerque, NM and Nashville, TN twice per year so I can have access to my car in my two homes. I drive to retreats and district events for Tau Beta Sigma, the band service organization I am a part of. I drive to various music festivals. I'm going to be driving to Mardi Gras this spring. And while some people may not understand it, I love all of these long drives, and one of the main reasons for that is having a good road trip playlist. Having been fortunate enough to be travelling to festivals for two of the past three weekends, I've decided to share a few of my current favorite road trip albums.

Atlanta's Music Midtown Festival is a Can't-Miss Weekend
This past Friday and Saturday marked the 3rd year of the return of Atlanta's Music Midtown Festival to Piedmont Park. The two-day festival included three stages and a diverse line-up ranging from rap genius Kendrick Lamar, to classic rock titans Journey, to live show titans Red Hot Chili Peppers. I attended the festival with a friend who is a graduate student in chemistry at Georgia Tech. In short, it was an amazing weekend. After the jump, I'll be giving you a look at it day-by-day, and then summarizing the festival experience as a whole to wrap things up. [Read more...]

United States Senator
April 26, 2006
Statement of Senator Patrick Leahy,
Ranking Member, Senate Judiciary Committee
"Parity, Platforms, and Protection:
The Future of the Music Industry in the Digital Radio Revolution"
April 26, 2006
The principles that guide me here are simple: We should be supporting and promoting the artists who write and perform the music that enriches all of our lives, and we should be helping everyone else to hear and enjoy that music. The copyright laws exist, in this arena, to define how creators can control, and profit from, the use of their works. All of the technological advances of recent years, all of the improvements in quality and quantity of music that the digital age has brought us, should mean that more people can hear more music, more easily, and that everyone gets paid their due.
I recognize and appreciate the fact that many other people and businesses are involved in getting music from the artist to the listener. The record companies, from the smallest independent to the largest of the majors; the broadcasters, whether they own one station or thousands; and the digital music providers, be they cable or satellite or internet - all of these play crucial roles in turning the copyrights of the artists into the listening pleasure of the consumer. But they are not ends in themselves; they are at their best when they are helping to develop new artistic talent, to nurture creative endeavors, and to facilitate ever-better ways of getting people the music they love, wherever they may be.
The statutory license in Section 114 is complicated. Nobody would deny that. Maybe it is too complicated, and maybe it is outdated. Maybe we in Congress should take a new approach to this whole situation. Congress has legislated in a piecemeal fashion, trying to work reasonable and effective changes to the licensing scheme when new technologies have changed the music marketplace. Maybe it is time for all of us, both those of us up here on the dais and those of you at the witness table, to step back and try to consider music licensing from its first principles. Maybe we should primarily focus not on the technologies that are delivering music today, but on the rights at stake. Maybe then we can produce a licensing scheme that has a real foundation in the rights of creators and the interests of consumers. Maybe then the purposes of the Copyright Act, and of this Committee, will be better realized in the marketplace for music.
I must thank my colleagues, Senators Feinstein and Graham and Cornyn, as well as Senator Frist, for taking up the formidable task of beginning this inquiry. Delving into the morass of this statute, and trying to make some sense out of it, is an act of real optimism and courage. I look forward to hearing from our witnesses today, and I am grateful to all of them for their time and expertise.

General Dynamics C4 Systems
By Ann Konzal Informa Systems, Inc.
The following is sponsored content from Informa Systems, Inc.
Informa Systems performed a simple experiment to determine if exercise impairs our cognitive ability. In this test, 10 individuals performed mental tests after periods of intense exercise to see if their mental abilities increased or decreased.
The game was a simple match the pair memory game that required the player to solve the timed memory game. The game was part of the screen of an elliptical machine. The game was played at the start of the exercise and after 15 and 30 minutes of exercise. The tests were performed over a two month period and were recorded. The pulse rate of the participants was also recorded. The results showed some interesting findings: After 15 minutes the mental response was steady or even showed a slight increase. After 30 minutes, as the participants tired, the results showed a marked decrease in cognitive ability.
How does this affect Law Enforcement professionals? In many situations officers are subjected to extreme physical exercise, such as apprehending a suspect.
Lesson Number One: Intense exercise should have NO effect on the officers' judgment in the short term.
Lesson Number Two: If you keep this up, you will be brilliant and buff.

"Ground Zeros"
by Trent Gilliss, senior editor
Hendrik Hertzberg ends his latest, masterful commentary on the mosque near Ground Zero with a passage culled from the correspondence of a Founding Father of the United States:
"In a famous letter—the one that holds that the United States 'gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens'—George Washington offered a benediction:
May the children of the stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other inhabitants, while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree and there shall be none to make him afraid.
Lower Manhattan is a little short on vines and fig trees nowadays, though there are some excellent wine bars. Washington's point remains. His letter was addressed to the Jews of Newport, Rhode Island. But, as he knew, Muslims are Abraham's children, too. By the McCain standard, George Washington was a three-time loser: as President, he lived in New York City; the nation's capital bears his name; and, even by the standards of his time, he was an élitist. Nevertheless: he was right."
"Britney's Conversion Diary"
Trent Gilliss, online editor
For those of you who haven't gotten to that late July issue in the stack of New Yorkers on your coffee table or just gave up and unsubscribed like me, Krista just clued me in on this satirical commentary by Andy Borowitz.
This series of mock diary entries about Britney's conjectured conversion to Judaism experience all begin with "Shalom, Diary" until the final entry when she "abandons" the process because the rabbi won't indulge her points system. Although it can seem a bit mean, Borowitz does get at the whole pop star conversion thing and the faddish tendencies of celebrities. Now, whether this is a publicity stunt or media speculation (based on this photo of her wearing a necklace with a Star of David pendant) to begin, I'll leave that up to you to decide.
A caution to more sensitive readers: the piece does contain a fair amount of foul language (and an excessive use of exclamation points for dramatic affect *grin*).
Secrets and Families
Kate Moos, Managing Producer
Honor Moore has a memoir coming out in May called The Bishop's Daughter, which was excerpted recently in The New Yorker. It tells the story of her father Paul Moore, a prominent, progressive Episcopal bishop in New York who passed away in 2003, and it reveals what had been a personal and family secret: that this father of nine children and sitting bishop had many homosexual liasons and apparently at least one long-term relationship with a man.
Although Honor Moore's account is understated, and written with remarkable compassion for her father, this story disturbs on so many different levels I'm not sure I can count them. It raises the spectre of the Episcopal Church's deep division over the installation of an openly gay man, Gene Robinson, a few years ago. It reminds us of the destructive power of the closet. It begs the question of how Paul Moore managed this falseness and somehow kept his world from absolutely crumbling. And, it surfaces another in a fairly remarkable recent string of revelations about sexual secrets in the lives of powerful and famous men — men, in particular, for whom keeping such secrets had extraordinary and inevitable consequences.
Adding to the pathos, a letter from three of Honor Moore's siblings in this week's New Yorker questions the ethics of her posthumously outing her prominent father. Certain to sell books, but what are we really learning (anything?) about spirituality and sexuality, and secrets?
The Ineluctable Modality of Numbers
by Rob McGinley Myers, associate producer
Catching up on my New Yorker reading, I ran across this article from the March 3 issue about the way the human brain is hardwired for math. It reminded me of my own peculiar sense of numbers as a kid, especially the numbers 1-10. At some point, around 1st grade, my brain gave those numbers distinct personalities, genders, and even relationships with each other. The number 6 for instance was an awkward, nerdy boy, and the number 9 was a sophisticated young woman. 6 looked up to 9 like a cool older sister, but she couldn't stand him, and whenever they were multiplied or added, 9 couldn't wait for the computation to end. She much preferred the company of 4 and 8, both of them cool, confident boys, though 8 was more disaffected than eager, cheerful 4 (I could go on and on like this).
What's fascinating to me is the author Jim Holt's statement that, according to cognitive science, "We have a sense of number that is independent of language, memory, and reasoning in general." To me, numbers feel like a human invention, just as alphabets and words are human inventions, but it's apparently more like numbers are a part of nature. And according to this research, our brains grasp the rudimentaries of math as intuitively as we grasp hunger, thirst, and love.
It made me think of Janna Levin's response on our show "Mathematics, Purpose, and Truth" when Krista asked her, "Does the fact that one plus one equals two have anything to do with God?" Levin said, "If I were to ever lean towards spiritual thinking or religious thinking, it would be in that way. It would be, why is it that there is this abstract mathematics that guides the universe? The universe is remarkable because we can understand it. That's what's remarkable."

Reading The New Yorker on the Way to New York
Krista Tippett, Host/Producer
I am a "faithful" reader of The New Yorker - for all the kinds of writing and reporting they do. They've also by the way had some brilliant pieces on religion in recent years, as the whole field of journalism catches up with this subject, its importance in human life, and the intellectual and spiritual content that has been missed by traditional journalism for too long. But this kind of list still puzzles and throws me - an announcement of a New Yorker conference on "the near future", with:
"theorists, designers, economists, philosophers, ethicists, animators, inventors, musicians, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, scientists, artists, politicians, engineers, financiers."
Where are the theologians? Why this assumption that philosophers and ethicists can hold their own in pressing, intellectual conversation - and have relevant and essential insight to add to the mix - and not religious thinkers?
On a lighter note, I love this spiritually profound and true cartoon.
The Star Market
Kate Moos, Managing Producer
I love Marie Howe's work, and her books What the Living Do and The Good Thief are favorites. Here's a new poem I happened across in The New Yorker.

Axelrod Predicts Obama Debate 'Adjustments'
By Bill Tomson
President Barack Obama will be more aggressive in his second debate on Tuesday with Republican challenger Mitt Romney, Obama senior adviser David Axelrod said Sunday on "Fox News Sunday."
"Nobody's a harsher critic than the president is of himself and he viewed the tape [of the debate]," Mr. Axelrod said. "I think he's going to make some adjustments on Tuesday."
President Obama, after being widely criticized for failing to forcefully challenge Mr. Romney in the first debate on Oct. 3 in Denver, is "is going to be aggressive in making the case for his view of where we should go as a country," Mr. Axelrod said.
Mr. Romney, meanwhile has new momentum in his campaign after the Denver debate and polls show he is gaining support, Romney senior adviser Ed Gillespie said on Fox News Sunday in a separate interview.
"I think the wind is at Gov. Romney's back," Mr. Gillespie said, but stressed the campaign knows the race is still tight.
The strategy going into the Tuesday debate will be the same as it was for the first debate, Mr. Gillespie said.
"I believe momentum is clearly on Gov. Romney's side," he said.

Correctional Services Program
The goal of The New York Public Library's Correctional Services Program is to build a continuum of regular, sustainable, and quality library services to patrons and their families in the justice involved communities, both onsite and offsite.
Sesame Street!
In response to the growing number of children with incarcerated parents, Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame Street, has developed its newest, bilingual (English/Spanish) initiative, Little Children, Big Challenges: Incarceration.
We at Correctional Services are excited to collaborate with Sesame Street. We are using the wonderful Sesame Street materials in our family literacy programs, to help justice involved parents talk to their children about their situation, with honesty and hope.
How can you use the Sesame Street materials in your family?
Try these Tips for Parents and Caregivers!
Family Literacy
We deliver a range of literacy programs at juvenile jails and state and federal prisons. In partnership with the New York City Department of Corrections and supported in part by a gift from the Leon Lowenstein Foundation, Inc., Correctional Services runs Daddy & Me a book recording project with detained parents. Incarcerated parents participate in early literacy workshops followed by a recording session where they can make a CD of themselves reading a favorite book to their kids. In collaboration with the New York Society for Ethical Culture (NYSEC), we have begun to work to connect incarcerated parents and their children through video, or "televisiting". We have furnished NYSEC's office with a children's library and provide incarcerated parents with identical books, using reading as a bonding activity during televisiting. The families practice their literacy skills together and form crucial connections. We are excited to add expanded literacy workshops to televisiting as the capacity for this program expands at city jails.
Sesame Street in Action:
Dr. Frank Corigliano, a resident psychologist at NYSEC, shared this story about the first post-Daddy & Me televisiting session. "One of the dads in particular was especially enthusiastic about reading for his kids. He picked wonderful books and made recordings for each of his boys. The next time I spoke with Mom to schedule the televisit, she told me that her family used the Sesame Street materials that she was given during the Daddy & Me family day. Now that the boys understood about dad's incarceration, they were eligible to televisit. I am thrilled to say that the boys had their visit!" Dad read The Lorax by Dr. Seuss to his two young boys. The Sesame Street materials we use at Daddy & Me, and more can be found on the Sesame Street website.
Books, magazines, comic books and more!
NYPL's Correctional Services consists of three staff members and several outstanding volunteers. From December 2012 until September 2013, we have interacted over 10,000 times with patrons through our regular circulating book services at our five satellite libraries inside city jails, including four Rikers Island facilities and Manhattan Detention Complex (MDC), our newest location added in May 2013. Many incarcerated men and women are avid readers and we witness our patrons' great appreciation for the library service during every visit.
Learn More About Us
To learn more about what we do, please check out our blog, Freedom of Thought, where you can hear directly from our amazing staff and volunteers. We occasionally publish writing from prison and pieces from the programs we run with incarcerated adults and youth at: Writing from Prison. Also, check out The Voice From Inside blog by John Wannamaker, currently detained in MDC Brooklyn.
Help Us Out!
The correctional services staff greatly appreciates book donations and help from volunteers. Learn more about volunteering with us.
With support from the library, Correctional Services publishes Connections (PDF), an annual guide and directory of resources in New York City available to help former inmates when they are leaving correctional facilities. Connections also serves as a guide on preparing for the world of work. We are so proud that is beyond a doubt the most exhaustive re-entry guidebook in New York City.
The booklet is free to those incarcerated in New York State prisons and local jails, and to agencies that help to provide service to former inmates.
Find more organizations dedicated to helping the formerly incarcerated.
The library prints 8,000 copies, which are sent to federal and state correctional facilities, and to local city government agencies upon request, including community based organizations serving the prison population. Because of our limited print run, we ask that community based organizations try to rely on the pdf version of Connections to use with their clients. Relevant pages can be easily printed. This will allow us to have enough print copies to fill requests from soon-to-be-released inmates who have no access to the Internet at their facilities. Thank you for your understanding.
See monthly statistics of our services.

I just realized that if I post a the next fan art right now, it will be my 200th...So I decided to do the before and after meme with my first OC to be introduced in my most popular fan comic, Hollow! For those that have seen some of my fan arts of her and read my old SSBB comic, you would probably recognize her. Had it been that long? My art style has changed dramatically. I might do some of this later with other characters whether it be original or already existing ones.
Anyway, it's a Friday. Better get going on those Project: Flight pages...

Hey Alice, this sounds a lot like my marriage. My husband put together this wonderful Mediterranean cruise for our honeymoon. Very romantic, but even after all this time, I still recall that there was very little sex during those 3 weeks. I attributed it to the fact we had to have separate beds in the cabin, but looking back I really believe he was avoiding it. During the honeymoon, after a bit too much wine, he admitted he had slept with a girl a few times while we were engaged. We were in different places, as I was finishing up my college degree and he was working. I remember that night in the hotel (before we boarded the ship); he slept while I lay awake totally broken and petrified that I had married a man I did not know. I was often in a foul mood during the honeymoon and that ticked him off. Unfortunately he *was* of the mind that one just files those things away in the back of their brain and gets on with life. That set the tone of our marriage, I believe. I did not grieve this information properly. I am a peacemaker and did not want to 'rock the boat', as it were.
Anyway, I eventually recovered and we actually some very good years with some great sex. We had three kids in 3 1/2 years; what does that tell you? But over time the sex became less and less frequent, and eventually he was not able to 'perform' very well during these times. It wore me down; without realizing it this eroded my self-esteem. I felt undesirable and that I simply did not measure up. I self-medicated over the years; with food, overspending, prescription meds etc. I was trying to fill that empty space.
I hate that my FWH had affairs. I wish it had never happened. Yet, I also recognize that had something had to wake this man up. He is totally remorseful and wanting to change. He realizes that he has to remain totally 'clean'. It's a struggle and he does slip up on occasion. This has also served to wake me up. I have learned more about myself in the last year and a half than in the 50 some years preceding it, all tolled. I was forced to or slide into dysfunctional coping mechanisms. I have never felt so strong and confident. I know I could make it on my own if I had to.
My FWH's battle is mainly his own. I cannot be his guard. Even though I am no longer hypervigilant, I find myself doing spot checks. Just recently I found two porn CDs well hidden in a basement closet. This man had over 100 CDs and video cassettes when he started treatment. I'm not sure this is the right approach, but when I find this stuff (which now is very rarely), I write on it with a permanent marker. "Every second spent looking at this garbage, takes away from your ability to make love to me." The problem is that because he had hundreds of CDs etc., he forgets where some of it is hidden. He tells me there was so much of it in this house, that he was so addicted (and still is, but working on being clean), he worries that he may find bits and pieces of his stash for the next decade. I really don't believe he is lying and manipulating me on this. I can tell the difference when he is being sincere and when he is not. However, I still feel he needs to be confronted when any of it is found by me.
Sorry for the length of this reply. I'm feeling extremely verbose today.
Sexual anorexia (or witholding sex) is also common among SAs. Not as common perhaps as some other methods of acting out, but it's still part of the disease.
My personal take on this is that it's not safe for them to have sex with someone they care about. It's easier to remain shut off in their own little fantasy world. Making love to someone who knows you on an intimate level is just too scary.
The main thing is, you did nothing to cause this. This is all his, and he has to deal with it, or not. It's not that you're not attractive enough, smart enough, sexy enough. It's all inside his head. Would you take any responsibility if he acted out by being a peeping tom? It would still affect you, but you would know that it wasn't you that made the decision to go crawling around in the bushes.
Work on detaching with love from his disease. Don't cover for him, or make things easier for him, but try to be kind and remind yourself that this is a disease. If he had diabetes you wouldn't resent his illness.
If there is an SAnon or COSA mtg in your area, try the meetings. They can be a real godsend to help you work on your issues with this.
I know SAs who have been sober for over 20 years, and their marriages are better than before everything came out. Take it one day at a time, and work on getting yourself to a healthy place.
1. How long has your WS been a sex addict, have you known, & what are they doing to deal with that (SA, etc)?
I'm not sure how long he's been a sex addict. He's a long time drug user who moved into addiction about 5 years ago. I just found out that he has been acting out sexually for the last year (paying for massages and god knows what else) - he's always looked at porn so I'm not sure when that tipped over into addiction.
2. How does your SA act out & how much verifying do you do?
Well what I know about is going to massage parlors...I'm still waiting on him to get back to me on *all* the details - he's supposedly going to write down a timeline, etc.
We're in the process of setting up software to track his internet use (any suggestions?) and he's giving me passwords to everything he can think of, including his online bank accts so I can track what he spends too. So not sure how often I will check up once those are in place - maybe daily/weekly at first?
3. Has the SA had relapses / slips?
He is one big relapse/slip on the drug front - the sex thing is new so we'll see.
4. Do you have kids? a 4 yo girl and a 1 yo boy
5. Brief description of what brought you to SI?
It was recommended on another site I visit for moms. I was assuming that my only option was divorce. Not sure that I'm happy about thinking about living like this and reconciling...but I'm at least considering it due to the length of our relationship and that we had so many good years up until 5 years ago....
6. What would you say are the biggest barriers to reconciliation / recovery?
Let me think, um trust. And um, trust. Oh yeah, and trust!
7. Would you say you had a good relationship prior to the cheating & what made it that way?
Well I would have said BEFORE the addiction started it was great - I felt really solid. I never thought he would EVER lie to me. In fact, I even was with him one time when he got a lap dance and he came home and told me all kinds of details from a friends raunchy bachelor party. Back then I never had a worry that he would EVER seriously touch another woman. But now of course with all the lying I think he's capable of anything.
8. Current status? I want a D - but he wants to reconcile so I'm trying, I guess. I'm just not sure what's in it for me anymore. He's more of a project than a partner....
Anyway, thanks for listening! -stbfree

I, too, found it rather bizarre that there was No Sex on our wedding night, no honeymoon, etc.
It was just *another night*.
ETA: I was reading about the various "Personality types" on about.com (if I recall correctly)...& there IS a personality type who does Move On & quite regularly, too.
I was wondering if there is NO END to this Crap! How can he sound/act/be so "normal" from 02-05...then after he arrives to live with me permanently, he resembles every damned mental disorder complete with numerous paraphilias! C'mon, HOW CAN THIS BE, I ask? What/who... is this multi-headed fucking hydra I married?!!
[This message edited by dreamlife at 6:59 PM, January 14th (Monday)]
Okay, dreamlife, I know this is not funny, but I have to admit I chuckled when I read it. I have wondered the same thing on occasion. FWH is doing well with his addiction, but when I find remaining bits of 'his stash', I say the same things to myself.
I can remember finding out on our honeymoon that he had screwed the town bicycle in the isolated area where he worked, while we were engaged. This man escapes by sleeping like a log; I don't. I remember that night in our hotel in London, England, lying awake and wondering who I married. That coupled with the fact that the honeymoon sex was basically non-existant and really bad when it did happen, makes those memories very bad for me. Thirty some years later, when I found evidence of his recent affair, I again pondered if I had married a freak. Again sex had been non-existant for years leading up to that one. Sex with him was beyond disappointing. Who wants to make love with a man who is totally disengaged, has nary a clue how to do it well and unable to perform. It wears away at your self-esteem and hard as you try, you see yourself as undesirable and simply not measuring up. I understand it so much more now, especially after MC and reading Patrick Carnes' books and especially Christine A. Adams, Sex, Love and Addiction: A Co-dependents Perspective. The latter one made me sob every few pages, as I saw myself and all the reactions an addict's spouse develops.
I no longer consider myself undesirable. I am one hot woman and he missed out on an incredible sex life by not dealing with this addiction years ago. He knows that and seems to be committed to recovery.
There's a verse in the bible that speaks of God restoring the years the locusts have eaten....I just pray for that restoration!!!!!
Let's keep this SA thread alive and active....I need the support!!!! I want to support the others who also know this pain!!!!
I plan to slowly read through all the posts that have already been made here....we aren't alone...we can love and cheer for each other....we can survive this....we will!!!!
This is not an easy process. It takes time and the realization that your development will also be a roller coaster. You feel empowered for a few days and then you crash and feel worthless again. I am doing little things in my journey. I am now making sure I dress nicely, especially for work. I spend extra time on my hair and I choose my outfits carefully. I am stepping out of my comfort zone as well, and have bought and worn a few outfits that I would never buy before. Nothing garish or too young for my age, but just a hint of independence. I also make time to do a lot of reading. That allows me to immerse myself in a story without ruminating about the SA and the A. I am spending more time with girlfriends. I really never had many before, but I've made a point of going shopping with my gals etc. All those things work towards making you feel good about yourself.
yes...my WH has missed out...I've never been frigid...I love sex...
Like they say over on an SA side, "I love sex, just not with you." I've told my husband that; he was hurt at first, but he now understands it.
and he kept throwing me away....I sadly feel like I'm the one who missed out because I am the faithful one who stuck through all the crap because I love him and our family...
There comes a time when you get tired of being the victim. Yes, you were the one betrayed. Yes you have every right to feel the most deprived. However, I am now at a point where I can look at my FWH and think or say, "Isn't it sad that he missed out on such a good relationship all because of selfishness. And that he will feel horrible about whatr he did to me for a lifetime." Yes, he brought it on himself, but it's still really sad. I can feel that way now, because I decided to quit ruminating about what was taken from me. It's done and I feel so much happier when I focus on the here and now as well as the future.
he better be committed to recovery....so much has been STOLEN BY THEIR SA...
Yes he better be committed. If not, you are fighting a losing battle and you may never get to be the confident wonderful woman that you are. Insist on it!!
Does multiple Affaris constitute a sexual additction? I mean, some were hidden and these were NOT ONS but he enjoyed spending time with them and etting to know them. I imagine like Alfie or something. There have been at least 7, i think.
[This message edited by Hope-full at 9:13 PM, January 16th (Wednesday)]
We *all* are, dammit!
We are Hot Kind Normal Women sitting on the floor with a broken-beyond-belief toy & waiting for it to work right or just "run" properly. (NOT!)
I don't think anyone here can answer the question of whether your WH is a SA.
I don't think multiple affairs constitutes SA. Whether he is SA or not, he may have developed an unhealthy compulsion to fill a void, self medicate, avoid intimacy or whatever his issue is.
Only an IC with education in SA could diagnose him I think.
Non of my husbands were ONS either, but no emotional attachment.
Married 8 years, together 12 years 2 young daughters FWH in IC for SA R
Turn me over, I'm done!
I'm just so glad WH is OUT of the house!
I've given my WS a bottom line request. Either he enters treatment (seriously, not just going to meetings) or I refuse to try to reconcile.
Am I just wasting my breath here? Does this ever work? So far he's blowing alot of smoke, hoping it will blow over but I'm pretty firm this time - what are other's experiences? -stbfree
I don't know if ultimatums work or not. By the time I found out about my husband's SA, he'd already found a counsellor. Now...he isn't going to meetings though his counsellor and I are pushing him to. And his counsellor is adamant that they are the biggest help of all. So if your WH is going, I'd say that's a good sign. My WH says the reason he found a counsellor to help him with SA was that he believed that if he didn't stop, I would eventually leave. And, for him, he had truly hit bottom when I found out about an affair with a woman he could have cared less about. So I guess I didn't issue an ultimatum but he believed I would have if he didn't get his act together. Is your WH "clean" -- ie. no acting out? Is he honest with you about it? I think we all have that line in the sand we need to draw -- and stick to it. I've realized that ultimatums are useless if I don't stick to them (I learned that from my kids!). But if you've truly reached a point at which you simply can't continue in the relationship without him making a greater effort in his own recovery, then you need to be honest with him about that. A word of caution, though: One of the zillion books I've read on SA warns of a spouse "managing" her SA spouse's recovery, noting that your focus needs to be on your own recovery, not his. You can state your needs but ultimately the choice of what to do is his...and then the choice is yours re. what you're going to do about it. I'm rambling. Hope I've made some sense.
Jdad has been SA for most of his life since early adolescence. He was exposed to pornography at a very early age in his home, and had a very abusive alcoholic father. He didnt realize how bad a problem is was or that he even had SA until our marriage counselor told him so after d-day 3. He immediately started going to an SA group to get help, and has slowly but surely come to grips with it.
He currently leads an SA group at Celebrate Recovery. He is also working through a study with some of the guys in his group called Making peace with your past, where he is identifying many of the events from his childhood that made him turn to SA for control.
Jdad hasnt acted out in about 4 months. He doesnt act out with pornography any more. His acting out in the last year or so is mainly flirting, staring at other women (sometimes right in front me sometimes), but its pretty rare. I dont follow up a whole lot any more because hes pretty open with his time, schedule, phone, etc. When he does mess up and breaks one of my boundaries he even imposes his own consequences.
No slips with other women but see #2.
4. Do you have kids?
Yes. Mine and his. His daughter and my daughter (both 15) are still at home.
I had an OC situation and needed others to talk to. The day I came, I found out that the ONS was NOT, and that he had another affair with her after D-day1.
Sex. I still havnt dealt with my childhood abuse issues, and he still sometimes treats our sex life like its all about him.
I thought we had a good relationship. But I was fooling myself and everyone else. There were many issues that neither of us ever addressed. For me it was my childhood abuse and the reasons I drank. For him is was SA, lying, PA, and rage. 8. Current status?
We are COMPLETELY committed to R. Both of us. For the first time in three years I can truly and honestly say that if he asked me tomorrow to renew our vows and marry him again, Id say yes without any reservations, or doubt that Id be filing for divorce within the next year. We still have some things to work through, but were getting there.
[This message edited by Kush at 8:34 PM, January 28th (Monday)]
Well said!
Mine has rejected all manner of help.
How do you get past this? I am doing the 180 - even left town for a bit and plan to ask him to move out prior to my return. I have to let him fix this - I think I hinder his progress.
How do you ever start letting them back in your world? Or did you?
