Grace's first day of Montessori preschool, 1997.
Last summer, my 19-year-old daughter was getting ready to move into her first apartment. I was excited for her to have the chance to live on her own and had been setting aside household items that I thought she could use. One day, after admiring the "steal" of a chair I had found at Goodwill, she asked me, "Aren't you sad that I won't live here anymore?"
"Well, honey," I said, "I always imagined that you would grow up and move out of the house. That was our goal all along for you to be an independent, self-sufficient person."
"I know," she said. "But I'm kind of sad that I won't be sleeping here anymore."
I reminded her that she had hardly slept at home at all since she started college last year. She lived in the dorm, four hours away from home and we often didn't hear from her for days.
"Yeah, but this is different. I just can't believe this won't be my home address anymore. Are you going to change the garage door code?"
A-ha! Then I figured it out. She was worried about cutting the cord from the house where she grew up. I had been concerning myself with making sure she was comfortable "out there" and she was worried she would no longer be welcome back at home.
It occurred to me that not much has changed between that day and the day sixteen years ago when we were preparing to send her to preschool here at the Montessori School of Greater Lafayette. Back then we were so excited to help our "baby" pick out a new lunch box and indoor shoes but we had little idea what to do to help prepare her (or ourselves) emotionally for this new chapter. She sailed through preschool and is now working through nursing school just fine, but we have learned a lot since then. Today I am sharing some tips and advice gathered from teachers and parents here at MSGL to help you and your child prepare for the first days of preschool.
Talk about school - mindfully.
Talk with your child about preschool when he is in the mood. Maybe he will bring it up or you can start the conversation, just don't push too hard. If your child seems "done" with the conversation or is becoming anxious, let the topic drop until later. And be honest about your feelings when you do talk about school. Some children worry that their parents will be sad or lonely when they are gone. When you say, "I am going to miss being with you in the morning, but it makes me happy to know you will be enjoying yourself at school," it lets him know that you will miss him but you are confident that school is a good place for him to be.
Check out the new environment.
MSGL's Parent Work Day is Saturday, August 16th. This is a great time to get familiar with the school and classroom environments and to be part of the school community. Children are encouraged to help clean lockers, pull weeds, and load and unload wheelbarrows full of mulch right alongside their parents and new classmates. And, each family member's time counts towards your volunteer hours requirement.
You will have another opportunity to get familiar with the school when your child attends her New Student Orientation visit on Monday, August 18th. This is her first opportunity to see her teachers and classmates in her new classroom. She can put her indoor shoes in her locker, locate her cubby and extra clothes box, and see where the bathroom is. The whole family can attend the Parent Orientation later that evening and maybe your child can give a tour of her new classroom.
Make new friends.
You will receive a class list via email in August. Consider contacting a few families on the list to set up a playdate before school starts. Even if you can't get together with any other families, you and your child can look over the names on the list together. You may discover that one of his classmates lives on your street or maybe someone has the same name as a sibling or a friend.
Help her dress for success.
Our Montessori classrooms are prepared to encourage your child's independence and you can help by providing your child with shoes and clothing that she can put on and take off by herself. Belts, suspenders, and jumpsuits look smart but they can be difficult for your child to use successfully. Provide your child a choice of clothing that allows her complete independence in her self-care routines. And please remember that preschool is a time to jump in and explore. Paint, snack, sand, and dirt from the garden can stain your child's clothing, so please send her to school in clothes that can stand to get dirty.
Plan a morning routine.
Now is a good time to do a mental run-through of your morning routine. Consider how much time your child needs to wake up, get dressed, and eat breakfast. Allow time for packing lunches, finding coats and shoes, and getting on the bike or in the car. Then add a few extra minutes. Parents and children who are not in a rush tend to have much better experiences at drop-off. Some families even do a few "practice runs" in the summer to see if they can get to school and work on time.
Create a goodbye routine.
Discuss with your child how you each want to say goodbye at drop-off. Some families say, "After you put on your inside shoes and put away your lunch box, we will walk to the classroom and I will give you three hugs and two kisses before I go to work." Some children like to wave to dad out the window and some parents leave their children with specific plans for what they will do after school. "Sonia is picking you up today" or "we are going to the Farmer's Market on our bikes after school today." Children have so little control over their daily lives that they appreciate at least knowing what is happening and when.
And while we're talking about goodbyes, let's take just a moment to consider the specter of separation anxiety.
What if my child cries when I walk away?
Separating from your child that first time can be heart-breaking, but remember - it's only for a few moments. The majority of children who are sad when they separate from their parents are able to calm themselves and choose an activity within a few minutes. If you have gone through the goodbye routine and are finding it hard to turn around and walk away, ask your teacher for help. Sometimes parents say, "Please help me. I need to leave." That is the teacher's sign that she needs to hold your child's hand or pick her up so that you can walk away. Teachers don't want to step in before you are ready to go but they are happy to help when you ask them.
The best thing you can do for your child at drop-off is to be consistent and walk away when you say you will. Lingering tends to just prolong the heartache for the parent and the child. The first few times you drop your child off may be difficult, but trust that with consistent repetition you and your child will develop a peaceful good-bye routine.
Talk with the teachers.
Talk with your child's teachers about how the adjustment period is going. The teachers help dozens of children adjust to school every year but this may be your first time. They expect you will have questions and concerns. Email is a great way to communicate with your child's teachers and all of the contact information is available on the classroom web page at Msgl.org.
Help your child talk about his day.
If this is the first time your child has been away from home you will no doubt be very eager to know what he did all day. Unfortunately, preschoolers often say they "did nothing" or "just played." A lot of things happened between the time you dropped him off that morning and when you picked him up several hours later, but he might not yet be able to give a sequential list of his activities. Here are some ideas to help your child tell you about his day.
Take care of yourself!
The best thing you can do during these last few weeks of summer is to give you and your child the gift of a regular bedtime that allows enough sleep to wake up refreshed and ready for the big days ahead. Fill up with a good breakfast each morning and be extra patient with your child and especially with yourself. Parenting preschoolers, like college students, is hard work and there is no right way to do it. Follow your heart and follow your child, and in sixteen years, or so, you will be very proud of the people you have both become.
What did your child do at preschool today? You can try asking, but often they will say they did nothing or they "played." The most common question I receive from parents is, "How can I know he is doing anything at school? He never tells me anything and his cubby has been empty for days."
Please believe me, your child is doing something. A lot of stuff, actually. But he may not remember "doing" anything at all that day. And his accomplishments often cannot be held in the hand or seen with the eye at pick-up time. If he could tell you, it might sound like this:
I concentrated today!
When someone asked to play with me, I said yes.
I looked at the caterpillars in the jar - for a very long time. Then my teacher read me a book about butterflies. Twice. Because I asked.
I sat next to a friend who was labeling the lifecycle of the frog. I handed her the labels and helped her match them. I got her a paper towel when her fingers were gluey.
When everyone was talking about bees I told them, "Bumblebees don't sting. Only honey bees sting. Bumblebees just bumble." Everyone agreed with me.
I looked at a real chicken egg and a real duck egg. I said the duck egg was bigger.
I used the very heavy tortilla press to make playdough tortillas. My friends helped and we laughed. None of us pinched our fingers.
I compromised about sitting in the comfy chair.
I served myself a snack, ate it politely alongside my friends, and cleaned up after myself.
I felt sad - just for a little bit - because I missed my mom.
I noticed that the lizard's food bowl was empty and cut some lettuce for him.
I waited for a turn on the orange bike.
I heard that a friend is going to Korea for the summer and I gave him a hug to say goodbye.
A preschooler's greatest and most important work often doesn't have any external product to show for it. Having and being a friend, acting out of kindness, demonstrating patience and self-control, taking care of oneself, feeling satisfied with a job well done - these things are all internalized. The children in our classrooms build their character and their understanding of the world every day, but they can't always verbalize it. They are doing so much challenging work! But they do not yet see their actions and successes as separate from themselves.
After a sunflower seed sprouts in the garden we might notice as the stem grows taller, but we cannot see the acts of photosynthesis and respiration and transpiration that take place every single day. The sunflower plant continues to do its work converting sunlight to sugars and sugars to fuel - the internal work of living - whether we take notice or not. Then, one day it blooms and we look at it and say, "Finally!"
Maria Montessori believed that the child reveals himself through his work, not through his outwardly visible successes and accomplishments. Every experience he has is internalized and becomes a part of his very being. She put it this way, "The things he sees are not just remembered; they form a part of his soul."
Stories from their day and recorded work, like the blooms of a sunflower, are parts of the child we can see and they might be pleasing to us, but they are only the product of a monumental amount of internal work. So please don't worry when your child says she did nothing all day. Nothing to grown-ups can be everything in the life of a child.
Lots of peace, lots of love ~ Heather

What is Montessori?
Rather than explaining what Montessori is, I am offering an excerpt from an article that does a beautiful job of describing what Montessorians do. Maria Montessori's Decalogue is a set of 10 rules for adults working in a Montessori classroom. It is relevant to parents, grandparents, and caregivers of all types who strive to relate to children peacefully and respectfully in any environment.
I hope you will enjoy this expanded version of the Montessori Decalogue as written by The Mammolina Children's Home Montessori Kindergarten in Beijing, China.
The Montessori Decalogue
1. Never touch the child unless invited by him (in some way or another).
Unless there is a very strong reason to (like avoiding an accident, for example), one should never touch a child unless a child requests it. Picking up a child without the child's consent, even if in a playful manner, or grabbing her hand, pushing her, etc., should always be avoided. If children are engaged, looking at a book, working, playing, resting, the same principle applies. Children invite contact in many ways, and parents and adults in general, who work with children, know how to interpret the signs they send. It is important also to respect a child when she is angry and does not want to be touched or picked up.
2. Never speak ill of the child in his presence or absence.
Speaking ill of a child, or making negative comments about a child, either in the child's presence or absence, denotes lack of respect for the child. It also sets a frame of mind and denotes an attitude that is negative and conducive to confrontation—and not always open! Preconceived ideas often linger as negative thoughts and breed reactive behavior. If an adult falls into this trap, it is very easy for a lack of patience and negative attitudes to creep in and damage the relationship with the child.
3. Concentrate on strengthening and helping the development of what is good in the child, so that its presence may leave less and less space for what is negative.
If adults focus on negative behavior, children will feel inadequate. This will result in low self-esteem, and a self-fulfilling prophecy like behavioral patterns will take over. Negativity will become second nature. Instead, by focusing on what is positive, the child will feel safe and confident. Children are learning what is and is not acceptable behavior can and cannot be done, etc. They do not need punishments or rewards. Simply to be shown what is and is not acceptable, by adults that model appropriate behavior.
4. Be proactive in preparing the environment, take meticulous and constant care of it. Help the child establish constructive relations with it. Show the proper place where the means of development are kept and demonstrate their proper use.
If the child is presented with a prepared environment, there is little need for much more. Again, modeling appropriate behavior is essential. A child that is shown an orderly environment will likewise feel encouraged to keep it orderly. If a child has available manipulatives she can handle, play and work with, rather than things she cannot touch, she will feel at ease to explore the world around her. If objects are at reach, that the child may break or hurt herself with, she should be shown how to handle them, rather than told "don't touch!" A kitchen is a world full of wonder for a child! Cutting, cooking, stirring, pouring, etc., are all activities the child will want—and need!—to master in order to become independent. Include the child in as many activities as possible at home, from cleaning to cooking; there is enough to keep any child busy and engaged all day long.
5. Be ever ready to answer the call of the child who stands in need of you, and always listen and respond to the child who appeals to you.
There is nothing worse for a child than to feel insecure and ignored. Abandonment is a feeling no child should have to live with. "If a child asks for attention, then that child needs attention," stressed Montessorian Margaret Homfray. When people brush a child aside and say, "she just wants attention," that person is missing the point: a child only wants attention when she needs attention. Children who feel cared for and do not have to worry about being abandoned, even if for a short time, are far more likely to care for others and show concern for and trust others, than those who experience this sort of "cold shoulder" treatment. Also, "timeout" and "go to your room and stay there" approaches are also expressions of abandonment.
6. Respect the child who makes a mistake and can then or later correct it herself, but stop firmly and immediately any misuse of the environment and any action which endangers the child, its own development or that of others.
Avoid rushing to correct mistakes a child has committed. Children are learning to cope and function. They will persist and practice to their heart's content whatever skill they need to acquire, until they master it. If a child starts throwing things around and disrespecting the environment, by all means, stop her. Yet, explain why you had to stop her. Reason and listen to what the child may have to say. Maria Montessori said that "a child's first tantrums are the first ills of her soul." There is always a reason for everything. Try to bring the reason to light. Punishing, isolating the child, etc., will only feed her pain, and burry deep those reasons—she will learn to hide rather than communicate.
7. Respect the child who takes a rest or watches others working or ponders over what she herself has done or will do. Neither call her nor force her to other forms of activity.
A child that is idle is often not idle at all… Children need to be given space to find what it is they are interested in and want to do. Once they do, they pursue their interests with unrestrained passion and perseverance! A child that is observing other children or adults is also learning. If the child is resting, she is not being lazy and doing nothing just lying there—she is most probably processing information, observing, reflecting on something she did, or saw, or is planning on doing.
8. Help those who are in search of activity and cannot find it.
Be sensitive to the needs of the child including differentiating when apparent inactivity is inner activity, or in contrast, a child is simply lost. A child in search of activity and unable to find it is usually restless. If sitting or lying down, it can be noticed that she is not "engaged;" she is not resting, but simply lost and prostrated. There is a thin line that separates these two worlds. It is the adult's responsibility to observe carefully and find out the signs—often very different from child to child—that can reveal what the child is experiencing. Abandonment differs from rest and contemplation.
9. Be untiring in repeating presentations to the child who refused them earlier, in helping the child to acquire what is not yet her own and to overcome imperfections. Do this by animating the environment, with care, with purposive restraint and silence, with mild words and loving presence. Make your ready presence felt to the child who searches and hide from the child who has found.
A child may need to be shown the right way to do something, say a word, express her feelings or acquire any sort of new skill, many, many times. One should never grow tired of repeating it, such as reading the same bedtime story or singing the same jingle. Children seek perfection in all they do until they reach a level which meets their needs (not what the adult may think "perfect" is, or means.) To be always available but not intrusive is an art. When a child needs help, she will ask for it. When a skill has been acquired and the child no longer needs assistance, adults should respect the child's new acquired or reached level of independence.
10. Always treat the child with the best of good manners and offer her the best you have in yourself and at your disposal.
Children who are respected will learn to respect others. Giving the child the best one has to give helps the child learn that you are someone she can count on, and teaches her to also give others the best she has to give. It is important the way Montessori puts it, "the best you have in yourself," as if to say, always reach higher, but do not feel dismayed if you fall short, and "the best" that you can give is not the best you think or know you should give. If your best manners are not always what they should be—a common feeling parents harbor when children seem to be pushing their patience beyond the limits, do not lose heart. The way Dr. Montessori put it, is basically this: have realistic expectations towards the child, and yourself too. Give the best you have to give, but don't feel guilty if you fall short. Simply keep striving to improve and always do your best. If you commit a mistake, giving the child your best may well be recognizing it and apologizing. "Amy, Mommy got upset and shouted. That was not nice of me. I am sorry." Children also need to recognize mistakes, learn to apologize, and that parents are not always perfect.
These are basic principles. What Montessori strives for is to protect the child from all sorts of negative influences that can create deviations in the child's spirit and psyche. To preserve the natural curiosity of the child, help her find her interests, protect her passion for learning, foster it and let it grow in a healthy way. In this way, the child can contribute her best to society. This is conducive to world peace, as Dr. Montessori envisioned it, and Montessorians believe is possible. It takes passion, it takes commitment, and it takes working together.

The s-word is in our forecast this week. I don't know anyone who is happy about the October SNOW except for my allergy-suffering friends. With the snow come cold temperatures and at MSGL we play outside year-round, so it's important for children to have warm and practical clothing to wear every day. For the past 12 years I greeted the children on the playground at 8:30 am, snow or shine. To help you prepare for this week and the next six months (it hurts me to say that), I have compiled for you:
Miss Heather's Top 10 List for Child Comfort and Parent Happiness: Winter Edition
1. Check the forecast. Every class - Toddler through Elementary - goes outside when the temperature is 20 degrees Fahrenheit or above. Check the weather forecast each day before leaving the house to make sure your child will have the appropriate cold-weather gear for that day.
2. Go with the low. Consider the time of day your child will be outside. The forecast may call for a high temp. of 63 degrees, but the temperature at 8:30 am might only be in the 40's. Some classes start outside, some go out at 10:15, some at 11:00. The afternoon and Elementary classes go out at varying times throughout the week. Provide clothing for the day's low temperature and your child should be well-prepared.
3. Layer, layer, layer. Imagine your child as a cute, rosy-cheeked onion and help her dress in layers. Being hot and sweaty outside in the cold is just as uncomfortable as shivering. If your child can take off a sweater or push back her hood and unzip her coat, she will be able to regulate her body temperature and still enjoy the time outside.
4. Listen to your child. Trust your child to make decisions about his comfort. The only way we can learn if we are too cold is if we are allowed to feel the cold. If your child doesn't want to wear his gloves, don't sweat it. Make sure he knows his gloves are in his locker and that he can go get them if he gets cold. The same goes for his snow pants and his bulky winter coat. An active child dressed in layers with warm shoes and a hat can generally enjoy himself outside without danger of getting too cold, even in winter. If your child is listening to his body instead of chafing under a "mitten mandate" he is more likely to develop a true sense of how to dress for the weather. My friend "Z" always told his dad he didn't want to wear his coat or his snow pants or his gloves, but 10 minutes after dad left, Z would ask to go get them.
5. Start a discussion. Talk with your child about the day's weather and how to dress. Remember that the ultimate goals are safety and independence. You might say something like, "It's 30 degrees Fahrenheit. You definitely need to wear something on your hands, but you can choose if you wear your Spiderman gloves or the mittens Grandma made for you." Or try, "It's going to be 45 degrees when you go outside today. What should you pack for school?" Young children can learn to speak three languages at once. They can also learn to make clothing choices based on the outdoor temperature.
6. Get a move-on. Remember that your child is most likely playing actively outside. We might feel very cold walking from the car to the school door in a suit or a skirt and heels, but a child riding a balance bike for 10 minutes heats up very quickly.
7. Consider cold pants. Snow pants or snow suits are essential when there is snow on the ground, but some children (and some preschool teachers) like to wear them as soon as they can see their breath outside. Think of them as "cold pants" and let your child keep them in his locker from October through April.
8. Label everything. Speaking of lockers, our lockers are small. When two children share a locker it's nearly impossible to fit snow pants, coats, book bags and lunch boxes inside. PLEASE make sure every article of clothing you send to school has your child's name or your family's last name written on it where it's easy to read. All black snow pants and all Spiderman gloves look the same when there are 24 children getting dressed in the hallway. If you forget, your child's teacher will be happy to loan you a Sharpie and some masking tape.
9. Embrace the terrific outdoors. Spending time outdoors is important for everyone's health and well-being. We do not have a gym and children may not stay inside by themselves. If your child is recovering from an illness and you don't want her to be outside, please make arrangements to drop her off late or pick her up early, depending on the class schedule.
10. Stock up. Have extra winter clothing on hand, if possible. The first Snow Day of the year is much less fun when your child has left her snow pants at school. And plan to lose at least one set of gloves. If you buy three identical sets of gloves, odds are you will have at least one matching set at the end of the year. Just in case, the Lost and Found box is in the office.
If you recently moved to West Lafayette from somewhere warm and lovely, I am so sorry! But seriously, you can stock up on all the clothing your family needs to get through your first Indiana winter at J.C. Penney, Sears, Target, KMart, or Walmart. You can purchase gently-used childrens' outerwear at Once Upon a Child in Lafayette.
Below are some examples of items your child will need.
Thanks for reading and bring on the snow!
It is important to say that you are your child's most important and influential teacher. You set the tone for your child's love of learning from the very start and it is you who bridges the gap between school and home. Sometimes this can feel overwhelming.
So please join us for "Bringing Montessori Home," a Parent Development Opportunity on Wednesday, October 9th from 6:30-8:00 pm. Kelly Sallee will be presenting ideas you can use and materials you can make to prepare a home environment that will nurture your child's independence. We hope you might also share how you use the Montessori philosophy to help your child be successful in your home. Register in the office or call or email firstname.lastname@example.com today!
Date: Wednesday, Oct. 9th
Time: 6:30-8:00 pm
Location: MSGL
Classroom: To Be Decided
Childcare available - call,
sign up in office or email Lena at email@example.com.
We hope to see you there!
Families are drawn to Montessori schools for many different reasons. Sometimes parents are looking to continue in preschool the child-centered environment they have established at home. Others wish to see their children thrive in the our enriched classrooms. Still, other families choose Montessori preschools because they want their children to learn and socialize in a non-competitive environment. Whatever the reason parents choose Montessori, they often have many questions during their child's first year.
To help answer these questions, MSGL offers a 1 ½-hour Montessori Basics class each Fall and all new families are expected to attend. Preprimary teacher Kelly Sallee presented this year's class on September 25th to a packed house of over 40 parents and grandparents. Kelly focused her presentation on the Prepared Environment, the Sensitive Periods of a child's development, and the Role of the Teacher. If you were unable to attend this year's Basics, follow this link to read more about Kelly's presentation. Below are a few tips for new parents.
Kelly's Tips for New Montessori Parents
Do your best to control the environment, not the child. Organize the child's belongings to help him be independent and successful.
Don't worry if your child is unable to sit still or to focus for long periods. "Even when we feel they're not listening, they are learning."
What's in your child's cubby does not necessarily reflect their work because many activities have no "paper" component. Look at classroom photos and videos on SmugMug to see what the children are working on in class. Your child's teacher will also have this information available for you at parent/teacher conferences.
Give your child the gift of time. Try not to rush her through tasks. When a child is allowed to dress herself in the morning it may take longer but she will develop the skills necessary for independence.
Allow your child to work without interruption, when possible. Periods of uninterrupted work strengthen a child's ability to concentrate for longer periods of time.
Allow your child to complete tasks without correction. "I don't know any adults who walk around with their shoes on the wrong feet. They will figure it out with time."
Give your child the opportunity to be a third-year student. Our mixed-age classrooms allow children to move from being the youngest who look up to role models to being the role models themselves. "Children who are the youngest in their families need the third year to be the leader that they don't get to be at home."

Currents and Clarity
Surprisingly, water movement has little effect on the feeding habits of bonefish. "Current is unimportant," says Nelson. "Unlike other bay species such as halibut, yellowfin croaker and spotted bay bass, bonefish seem to be out looking for food all of the time, whether or not there's water moving."
Love agrees: "My observations of the species in Bahia San Quintin on the Pacific coast of upper Baja California indicate that Cortez bonefish are not necessarily current driven. I also believe they don't care about visibility, as we have caught them in turbid water."
However, Nelson's drift-fishing technique is aided by current and/or wind, as it helps keep the bait moving. The wind on San Diego Bay usually blows out of the west, and in the afternoon, it can get pretty strong. On these occasions, Nelson likes to deploy a drift sock to slow the boat's drift. "This allows us to use a minimal amount of weight, and yet still keep the baits moving along on the bottom," he explains.
Lighten Up
Tackle for San Diego bonefish is pretty light — usually 8- to 10-pound-test monofilament line on a 7-foot light-action spinning rod and matching reel. The biggest bonefish we catch is around two pounds, but as I fight my first San Diego bone, I marvel at its strength. It uncorks three blistering runs, and once it is close to the boat, Nelson warns me that the fight is far from over. He's right. The fish continues to dive for the bottom with stamina that takes me around the boat twice before we put it in the net.
Yet even after that, I marvel at its strength. Just holding it for photos is difficult, a job made even tougher thanks to the fish's copious coat of slime. During the spawning season — usually April and May — the Cortez bonefish get even slimier, but the action can also be spectacular. These are when Nelson's 20-plus-fish days occur.
"The fish school-up during spawning season, and once you find them, the action can be nonstop," says Nelson. "Still, you can catch them any time of year, and we release every single fish to help keep it that way."
The next time someone mentions bonefish, watch his face when you tell him of the most unlikely yet productive destination for bones: San Diego Bay, home of West Coast chrome.
San Diego Bonefish Tackle Box
Nelson likes to use a Carolina rig with tungsten bullet weights that slide through eelgrass and shed weeds.
Weights range from 1⁄4- to 1⁄2-ounce, depending on the depth and speed of the drift, and Nelson puts a small bead between the sinker and swivel to help protect the knot. Leader length ranges from three to four feet. Nelson uses small, light hooks such as Gamakatsu's size 4 Split Shot/Drop Shot hook or an equivalent hook size and style.
Threading the delicate ghost shrimp on the hook takes a bit of practice, but start by inserting the hook on top of the shrimp just in front of the tail, then inch the hook forward, and bringing the point out on top at the carapace. As a result, the bait drifts backward, as if kicking its tail to evade a predator.
Baits and Rigs: Live or frozen ghost shrimp
Rods: 7-foot light-action spinning rods
Reels: Light spinning reels such as Accurate SR-6 or Okuma Inspira 20
Line: 8- to 10-pound-test monofilament
Terminal Rig: 1⁄4- to 1⁄2-ounce tungsten bullet weight and bead on main line, swivel, and 4-foot, 8- to 10-pound mono leader, with a No. 4 Gamakatsu Split Shot/Drop Shot hook
San Diego Trip Planner
What: Cortez bonefish.
Where: Lower San Diego Bay south of the Sweetwater River. Focus on water ranging from five to 12 feet, fishing the edges of 20- to 30-foot depressions throughout the lower bay. For a list of area ramps, visit sdboating.com/ramps.htm.
When: Year-round, April to May for spawners.
Who: Private-boat anglers with reliable craft from 16 feet and up.

Posted in Our Planet, Our Universe
With fierce ambition, determination and persistence, NASA scored a huge victory for the U.S. this morning by successfully mastering and executing the landing of the Curiosity rover on Mars. The potentially risky landing was perfectly maneuvered, and the car-sized rover touched down on Gale Crater at 1:32 a.m. EDT Monday.
In the early hours of the morning as the landing unfolded, each step proceeded without flaw. The capsule entered the atmosphere at the appointed time, with thrusters guiding it toward the crater. Next the parachute was deployed, then shortly after the rover and rocket stage dropped away from the parachute. This began the powered descent toward the surface.
Instead of following a standard landing, the one-ton vehicle utilized a final landing step specially designed by NASA engineers known as the sky crane maneuver. The process incorporated a hovering rocket which completed the landing by gently releasing the Curiosity rover on the surface of Mars. Two minutes after landing, the first photos popped up on video screens, and within a few hours, even more information beamed back to eagerly awaiting scientists and engineers on Earth. Over the course of this week, Curiosity is scheduled to deploy its main antenna, take its first panoramic shot of its surroundings and raise a mast containing cameras as well as a rock-vaporizing laser and other instruments.
President Obama released a statement earlier today calling the rover's landing "an unprecedented feat of technology that will stand as a point of national pride far into the future." This morning has marked history and will be remembered by many as the landing of the largest and most sophisticated mobile laboratory ever sent to another planet.

I came across your essay "Arthritis and Chronic Illness – We Have It, It Doesn't Have Us! – Ashley Boynes "
It hit the nail on the head. I always say SJS is just "one" part of who I am; not the sum.
Can I have permission to post it on Sjogrens World,org and lift others?
Thank you, Barbara

Get this recipe courtesy of Lisa Howard. Learn more at www.theculturedcook.com. Makes enough for 4 hearty servings, especially if you include all of the toppings.1 small onion, chopped5 cloves garlic, chopped2 cups chicken broth½ cup brewed coffee28 oz. can of tomatoes15 oz. can of navy beans (my favorite brand of beans is Eden—they use BPA-free cans)1 T. chili powder1 chayote squash, peeled, spongy core removed, flesh cut into 1″ cubes (optional, but adds to the Latin flair of the dish); if you can't find chayote, opt for sweet potato15 oz. can of hominy (I prefer yellow, but white works, too)Optional toppings:Whole-milk Greek yogurtChopped cilantroLime wedgesThinly sliced cabbageChopped avocadoDrizzle a splash of extra-virgin olive oil into a large soup pot. Add onions and sautée over medium heat for 5 minutes or until the onions are soft but not yet brown. Add garlic, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for another 2 minutes or until garlic is fragrant and soft. Pour in chicken broth, 1 cup of water, coffee, the tomatoes, and the beans. (Seeing as Eden beans are canned in BPA-free cans with sea salt and a pinch of seaweed, I add the contents of the entire can.) Stir in the chili powder and bring to a boil.Add the chayote/sweet potato, reduce heat to a gentle simmer, and let the squash cook for 10 minutes. Poke a piece to see if it has reached its desired tenderness. (I like mine a bit chewy.) If you'd like to add more chili powder or a dash of sea salt, now's a good time to do that, too.Stir in hominy, simmer for another minute to heat everything through, and serve. Garnish with any or all of the optional toppings. Leftover pozole can be refrigerated for up to 5 days—like all tomato-based soups and sauces, the flavor deepens upon standing. You may like it even better the next day.

Made From Hand-Blown GlassThe earliest barometers were simple glass bulbs with a spout that helped ancient seaman predict storms. Water moving up the spout means low pressure with potentially stormy conditions, while high pressure pushes the water down to the bottom of the spout.
This style of barometer is just as effective today, and provides a decorative method for predicting weather via changes in air pressure.How does it work?
The WeatherBall quickly indicates any variation in atmospheric pressure. The air trapped by the liquid maintains a steady pressure. When high pressure and good weather are approaching, the liquid is pushed down the spout. When low pressure and bad weather invade your region greater pressure trapped inside the WeatherBall causes the liquid in the spout to rise. If the liquid spills out the top, race to the celler or higher ground!
Who invented the WeatherBall?
Renaissance scientists discovered that weather was influenced by variation in atmospheric pressure. Torricelli (1608-1647) devised the first barometer, proving that air pressure was subject to change. It is believed that Goethe, the famous German playwrite, developed this simple but effective barometer using the principle established by Torricelli.
Instructions for the proper filling of the weather ball with distilled water are included. Food coloring of your choice (not included) may be also added. Size: 7.5"h.
Distilled water and food coloring NOT included.

WASHINGTON — In the ego-driven game of Twitter, Jofi Joseph was, for a while, one of the winners.
His 1,600 followers put him far below a Kanye West or even an Andrew Sullivan — but they were quality followers, an international relations In Crowd that lapped up his 140-character snark and insight. The Atlantic last year commended Joseph's shrewd analysis of White House maneuvers; Foreign Policy wrote a mournful blog post when his tweets about national security policy came to a sudden end.
But what did it get him? While Twitter has launched many once-obscure wits to social prominence, TV bookings or publishing deals, Joseph — the National Security Council staffer fired this week when he was revealed as the secret author of @natsecwonk — could never benefit from a growing fan base. As with the Capitol Beltway's busy community of Internet phantoms, he had to be anonymous because of the sensitivities of his day job. So then why tweet at all?
Just ask @PourMeCoffee, a short-form pundit who has managed to rack up more than 140,000 followers, including a media-political elite that has no idea of his identity.
"You know when you were in college and you hung out with your favorite friends telling jokes and trading [bogus] theories and it was the best thing ever?" he said in an e-mail. "Twitter allows you to do that again."
You don't need a spotlight to get your ego stroked, explained the pseudonymous @HillStaffer. "Faves and retweets and kind words feel good, even if not
Some of Washington's anonymous tweeters write from a stance of insider authority, such as @Httr24_7, who for a couple of seasons tantalized sports reporters with solid tips about Washington Redskins personnel moves. Others mock a stance of insider authority, such as the anonymous parody accounts @DCJourno ("just posted my take on what Obama's big speech means for 2016") and @SrWHOfficial. A few exist in an blurry middle ground, like Unsuck DC Metro, a thriving blog and Twitter feed that began as a series of rants by an unknown subway rider and evolved into a

Not Your Average InsectThe Cybug Solar Fly 2 is a lesson in robotics and a low maintenance pet all in one! This solar powered robot is easy to build and tons of fun to use. Once assembled, simply put your Solar Fly 2 in direct sunlight and watch it go! The Solar Fly has sensitive infrared eyes that cause it to always move towards the brightest object it sees and feelers to help navigate around obstacles. You can set up navigation courses for the Solar Fly using items found around your house and watch its path. It even has some short-term memory about objects it comes in contact with – almost like a mind of its own!

Sunday, the Buccaneers head into Carolina and may be saying a phrase heard far too many times this season in regards to the offensive line - "next man up." O-Line coach Bob Bostad has made sure no matter the personnel, the line will play hard.https://www.pewterreport.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=8530:&Itemid=15
Hard to believe that Coach Schiano seemed to have quickly assembled his staff and didn't have exactly all the assistants that he wanted.
They got it together in TE last 50 seconds of regulation and then in overtime.... They got it done when it counted!
Reality check. Going into our game Sunday, the Panthers were ranked 3rd in the league with 25 sacks. Our rag tag line did allow a lot of pressure but only gave up one sack on the day and got 138 yards for Martin. I'd say that is pretty ucking amazing.

An acoustic neuroma is a slow-growing tumor of the nerve that connects the ear to the brain. This nerve is called the vestibular cochlear nerve. It is behind the ear right under the brain.
An acoustic neuroma is not cancerous (benign), which means it does not spread to other parts of the body. However, it can damage several important nerves as it grows.
Vestibular schwannoma; Tumor - acoustic; Cerebellopontine angle tumor; Angle tumor
Acoustic neuromas have been linked with the genetic disorder neurofibromatosis type 2
Acoustic neuromas are uncommon.
The symptoms vary based on the size and location of the tumor. Because the tumor grows so slowly, symptoms usually start after age 30.
Common symptoms include:
Less common symptoms include:
The health care provider may suspect an acoustic neuroma based on your medical history, an examination of your nervous system, or tests.
Often, the physical exam is normal when the tumor is diagnosed. Sometimes, the following signs may be present:
The most useful test to identify an acoustic neuroma is an MRI of the brain
. Other tests to diagnose the tumor and tell it apart from other causes of dizziness or vertigo include:
Treatment depends on the size and location of the tumor, your age, and your overall health. You and your health care provider must decide whether to watch the tumor (observation), use radiation to stop it from growing, or try to remove it.
Many acoustic neuromas are small and grow very slowly. Small tumors with few or no symptoms may be followed, especially in older patients. Regular MRI scans will be done.
If they are not treated, some acoustic neuromas can damage the nerves involved in hearing and balance, as well as the nerves responsible for movement and feeling in the face. Very large tumors can lead to a buildup of fluid (hydrocephalus
) in the brain, which can be life-threatening.
Removing an acoustic neuroma is more commonly done for:
Surgery is done to remove the tumor and prevent other nerve damage. Any hearing that is left is often lost with surgery.
Stereotactic radiosurgery
focuses high-powered x-rays on a small area. It is considered to be a form of radiation therapy, not a surgical procedure. It may be used:
Removing an acoustic neuroma can damage nerves, causing loss of hearing or weakness in the face muscles. This damage is more likely to occur when the tumor is large.
An acoustic neuroma is not cancer. The tumor does not spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. However, it may continue to grow and press on important structures in the skull.
People with small, slow-growing tumors may not need treatment.
Once hearing loss occurs, it does not return after surgery or radiosurgery.

Help for overqualified job seekers in a difficult market
Thursday, June 7, 2012 12:36 PM EDT
Thursday, June 7, 2012 12:36 PM EDT
(ARA) - Today's highly competitive job market presents challenges for everyone seeking employment. Recent graduates and seasoned professionals alike encounter limited opportunities. After submitting a resume and cover letter, these job seekers sometimes do not get a reply from prospective employers. This is discouraging, but not a surprise when
employers often receive hundreds of resumes for every job posted
, as reported by GetHIred.com, a website that helps people find the right job, and companies find the right employees.
The tight job market can be especially hard on job seekers with 15 or more years of work experience. As they look through posted jobs, they often find entry-level openings that require less education or experience than they have accumulated. Sheryl Decker, director of
Career Services
Brown Mackie College - South Bend
, offers steps that can help overqualified job seekers find employment.
"An overqualified job candidate is someone who has too much education or experience, or can be too highly-paid for the position sought," Decker says. "When employers review a resume, they first tend to weigh the level of education and a candidate's past experience against the job opportunity. If the candidate possesses qualifications that are higher than the position requires, a manager may set the resume aside."
An overqualified applicant can raise a red flag for a number of reasons. Employers generally attach a negative connotation to overqualified candidates because they feel the candidate:
* May leave as soon as he or she finds a job commensurate with the higher qualifications.
* May continue looking for employment with a higher salary.
* Has never been promoted by previous employers.
* Has not explained why he or she seeks a lower level position.
"The employer's top priority is to make the right hiring decision. It costs money to hire and train a new employee, and it is beneficial to the organization when the employee comes on board for the long haul," Decker says. "It can be scary for an overqualified person who isn't finding job openings that match their credentials." How can you overcome this negative perception?
Change the format of your resume
"If you have a lot of skills, it can be helpful to organize your resume into a
functional resume format
," Decker says. "Rather than presenting information in chronological order under each position held, highlight your skills and accomplishments as they pertain to the position you are seeking." You can include the companies you have worked for in the past without emphasizing titles that may raise concerns.
Quintessential Careers
, a website dedicated to empowering job seekers, supports this tactic for overqualified applicants.
Customize resume to each specific position
"Tailor each resume to include the attributes the prospective employer seeks," says Decker. "Highlight the things that show you are qualified, not overqualified." Be sure to include characteristics of your personality that show you are motivated, a team player and dedicated to performing the job effectively. Along with a positive attitude, these soft skills can help define you as an asset.
Call on your professional network
Never underestimate the importance of joining a professional association. "People who know you can vouch for your experience and value to the company, even though your qualifications may be higher," Decker says. "This is one of the best ways to overcome negative perceptions."
Honesty is the best policy
"Prospective employers call your references, check your background and criminal history, and speak with the company where you last worked. Be honest about the reasons you left, and make it known that you are flexible about salary in a new position," Decker says. "Today's economy makes this a reality."
Above all, focus on how your learned skills can benefit the company. Employers want to provide good service to customers in a positive atmosphere for employees.

How Long Should You Keep Records and Statements?
Here's a handy guide for how long to keep old tax returns and financial records:
1 Year: Monthly statements of financial and bank accounts, at least until an annual statement recapping the entire year's activity arrives; copies of checks (used for tax deductible expenses); payroll statements (until your W-2 arrives).
3 Years: Federal and state income tax returns, and receipts and records relating to those returns.
6 Years: Tax returns for years with unusual activity or transactions, like the sale of real estate or significant donations, or unusual income amounts.
Indefinitely: Mortgage notes and real estate Settlement Statements, along with receipts for any improvements to your home, so you can calculate the basis value of your property when you sell the home.

Romantic, sophisticated fragrance with character
Having three dogs in my home, I am always concerned about my home odor even with near constant cleaning. I have tried any number of sprays and candles to add to my comfort. This candle and aroma have brought pleasing complements from all visitors...from dear friends to the mail carrier and door-knocking political campaigners. I will keep one in my home from now on.
Heavenly Fragrance!
I love my Goldleaf candle so much, I am giving this one as a small token of appreciation at Christmas to my doctor's nurse.
Remarkable and Memorable Goldleaf Candle
We tried this candle after years of my wearing goldleaf which I also wore at my wedding. The candle like all thymes candles is a remarkable high quality and it's ingredients a perfect blend of beauty for our home. Beloved by many but unique to all- this scent can go from bubble bath to table. It is that remarkable. .
Need I even light it?
Question of the day? Need I even light the Gold Leaf candle? The
wonderful aroma fills the room, never having been lit. Dare I say?
Well, yes, I must proclaim: It will certainly last much longer than the estimated 60 hours. :)

MANNINGTON, W. Va. — The remains of a World War II soldier who was killed 69 years ago when his plane went down in Germany have been returned to his home in West Virginia, where he was laid to rest between the parents who never gave up hope that their son would come home.
Sgt. Jerome E. Kiger was 22 years old when his plane went down July 21, 1944. He was buried Sunday in Mannington, W. Va., where dozens of flag-waving well-wishers lined the streets to pay tribute to the fallen soldier returned home.
Kiger's remains were discovered in 2008 by a German man named Markus Mooser, who was walking in a forest and saw a depression in the land that looked like a crash site. It was about 1,000 yards from where officials thought the B-24 Liberator had gone down all those years earlier.
Mooser was present Sunday alongside family members -- most of whom had never met Kiger -- friends and other veterans for the memorial service.
"Jerome took me here from Germany," Mooser said during remarks made at the graveside. "It's a long way, and it's for me an honor. I'm really proud to be here at his funeral, to stay with his family, and I'm very thankful to be invited."
When Kiger's plane went down in 1944, nine airmen were aboard, said Sgt. 1st Class John Oliverio, a casualty assistance officer with the 201st Battalion Field Artillery in Fairmont, W. Va., who has helped the family through the ordeal.
"Sgt. Kiger was the tail gunner and Sgt. (Charles) Marshall was the belly gunner," he added. "The plane got hit and as it was going down, the pilot yelled for everyone to bail out."
But accounts from family indicate Kiger wanted to stay to help his friend, Marshall.

Marge Gibson releases a rehabilitated bald eagle. / Submitted by Gary Engberg
Eagle perching in Sauk Prairie. / Submitted by Gary Engberg
A nice walleye. / Contributed by Gary Engberg
This coming weekend, there are two events that give people a choice of a couple of things to do to beat the winter blues and get you in the outdoors. Temperatures are going to cool down again this week and help the activities that Im recommending by concentrating the eagles and building more safe ice. After hearing that 2012 was the warmest year on record, its great to be outside in chill of winter. Actually, the weather that youre having is about normal for the middle of January and its good to be outside in the fresh winter air.
The first event that Im mentioning is the 26th Bald Eagle Watching Day in Sauk Prairie this coming Friday night and Saturday. Local residents (including me) have a tendency to take the winter population of eagles for granted. The Sauk Prairie area is the winter home for hundreds of bald eagles and well-worth visiting on the Bald Eagle Watching Day and on most winter days till the first week of March. The important factors that attract eagles to this area are the open water below the Prairie du Sac Dam where eagles gorge themselves on the protein rich gizzard shad, the undeveloped shoreline with large trees for perching, and the numerous sheltered valleys with large hardwood trees for roosting and getting out of the cold of winter. The Sauk Prairie area has all of these eagle requirements plus a population of people who cherish and respect these magnificent birds. The Ferry Bluff Eagle Council and its members put in hundreds of hours of volunteer work to keep the eagles returning every year. One has to remember that it wasnt that long ago (1970s) that the eagle population was at one of its lowest points and on the endangered species list. But, through research and hard work the eagles are still coming to the Sauk Prairie area each and every winter.
I was a little worried that the weather was getting too warm and the snow melting might spread the eagles out over a larger area, but the colder weather has returned and concentrated the eagles near the waters below the Prairie du Sac Dam. The River Alliance recently had an auction and fundraiser where I donated an afternoon of eagle watching to the highest bidder. Sharon White, a River Alliance employee, bought the trip for her parents (Jon and Mary Reddin) who live in Milwaukee and Ellison Bay. I met them in Sauk City to take them eagle watching and later to the Sugarloaf Roost where I count eagles every other Sunday afternoon. Sunday morning, I was working at my desk over-looking the Wisconsin River and the eagles were very active fishing and perching in my backyard. Here, I am less than 30 miles from Madison and I have bald eagles within 10 yards of me while I working on my computer. What I see regularly would be a lifetime experience for many people! I was worried though that we might not see eagles like this when I met the Reddins for their viewing and photo taking experience. But, the eagles didnt disappoint us and we found eagles to see and photograph all within a few miles of town.
More on fishing: Fishing news from around the state | Your fishing photos | Build a map | Read fishing reports | We're blogging about fishing
I also took Mary and Jon with me to meet Tim Moermond and Donna and Bill Stehling to do our regular counting on Sunday afternoons for the Ferry Bluff Eagle Council. Again, the eagles cooperated and we counted over 30 bald eagles going into their roosts for the night. Jon took many photos and I know that they had a great time after once coming to the area 15 years ago to eagle watch. They said that things had changed some with them seeing many more eagles than their previous outing to Sauk Prairie. Its nice to hear that people enjoy these precious birds and come to see them regularly during the winter.
This weekend there is something for all family members. Friday night, January 18th, the Raptor Center from the University of Minnesota brings their live birds of prey show titled Raptors in Wisconsin. They will have live birds that have been rehabilitated for all to see up close. There also will be childrens programs, eagle viewing bus tours around town, demonstrations on digiscope photography, and even a release of a live rehabbed bird. Plus, theres much, much more for the family to see up close and enjoy. There are activities for all on Saturday, the 19th of January, so come and plan to spend the day! Remember that this is a family event which will have the whole family involved and seeing things that people rarely have the chance to view!
Another winter activity that is taking place on Saturday the 19th is the Yahara Fishing Clubs Ice Fishing Derby on Madisons Lake Waubesa. There used to be a Derby or Jamboree on the Madison Lakes going back to the 1960s and 1970s which was an annual event drawing ice anglers from all over the area. Jim Kloth and members of the Yahara Fishing Club are trying to revive this fishing event to raise money for the childrens fishing events that the club sponsors and puts on for area children. The entry fee is $10.00 which includes a ticket for the many donated prizes. There are also tickets for other great raffle items at $2 or 3 tickets for $5. You have to be present for the 3:00 pm drawing of the great prizes to win.
The Ice Fishing Derby is based out of the Green Lantern Restaurant which will have food specials all day for hungry anglers. There also are cash awards for the largest walleye, bass (both large and smallmouth), pike, and the top 10 panfish (bluegills, crappies, and perch). First place in a category wins $75.00 and $25.00 for second place There is another award for the child who has the single largest panfish. The weigh in will be at 2:00 pm. Ill be the MC for the weigh-in, so stop and say hi. Contact Jim Kloth at (608)-635-0116 or firstname.lastname@example.com for any questions that you may have. All Wisconsin fishing rules apply for the event. This is also the first winter free fishing weekend by the Wisconsin DNR. People can fish without buying any licenses or stamps this coming weekend. This is a good opportunity for people to try ice fishing and see why so many people love this sport.
Theres plenty to do this coming weekend in the outdoors with eagle watching and ice fishing. The weather looks good and you can do something in our outdoors with your family without spending much money. These are events and activities where the entire family can enjoy our great natural resources and be outside instead of watching football on the couch. I look forward to seeing many of you in the Wisconsin outdoors!
