As I mentioned in one of my past posts, I am now the Activity Day leader in my ward. It's going really well and I just LOVE these girlies.
This month is Thanksgiving,
Duh, I know!!
I wanted to focus on how thankful I was for these girlies.
This activity was called
"Thanks for being {YOU}!"
As the girls arrived,
I had the girls think of someone who they admire and name some of the qualities they liked in that person.
I then had them write a Thank You to that person.
I also explained that we should try to live in a way that others are grateful
for who we are.
I found these cute cards and fun colored pens all at Dollar Tree.
Be {YOU} tiful Mirrors
I found these mirrors at....DOLLAR TREEEEEE!!
I cut the vinyl out with my cricut and had it all ready ahead of time.
I put their names on the back and had the girls pass them around and write a quality that they admired in that person on the mirror with a dry erase marker.
As they were writing I told them about how fabulous they were, just the way they are. I told them they were beatiful just the way Heavenly Father made them.
I also told them to NEVER try to be some they aren't.
Treat/Object Lesson:
Ice Cream Sunday's with ALL the works.
(I saw this somewhere, can't remember :/ if this is your idea please let me know :))
I had each girl pick ONE topping.
Then, I gave them a spoon and said,
" All righty, dig in! ENJOY!!"
They looked at me like I was CrAzY!!
Where's the ice cream?
We only have one topping and now you're not going to give us any ice cream?!
Some would say,
"We can only do ONE topping?"
I then explained how this one topping is yummy all alone.
But, it is even BETTER with lots of other yummy stuff.
Each topping has something wonderful to offer to the Sunday.
Just like us.
Individually, we are wonderful.
We each have our special qualities and talents that our Heavenly Father has blessed us with.
When we share these and put them all together,
We are DELICIOUS!!
We should be grateful for what Heavenly Father has given us to be able to bless others.
We also need to let other people know we are grateful for who they are!
Then, I let them go to town on the Sunday toppings!!!
While the girls were busy with their sundays,
I helped each girl hot glue a flower together out of fabric.
They then glued it to their mirror.
Some girls went all out!
While they were waiting for their rides home,
they enjoyed my bag of buttons and blingafied thier mirrors big time.
Let me know if you have any questions.

The warm weather brought lots of people out along the Truckee River Monday.
We found people jogging, swimming and just enjoying this beautiful spring day.
"Everybody's out here happy, everybody's wearing shorts and their summer gear and we're really glad it's starting to finally warm up," says Juli MacLean of Reno.
People used this warm day to get together with family, take a dip in the Truckee River or take their dogs for a swim.
It's quite a change from the cold, snowy weather that hit a week ago. People told us they just put their skis away, and are ready for spring.
Most people we talked to enjoy the weather in northern Nevada, even if it is unpredictable.
"I think it's wonderful. We get to take our dogs out here and enjoy the nice weather. Knowing Reno, it'll probably be snowing in a couple of weeks, so we're taking advantage of it while it lasts," says Aquila Nelson of Reno.
It's supposed to cool down a little Tuesday, proving the old theory: if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes, it'll change.

Do you feel a sliver of anxiety when your teacher assigns word problems? Some Algebra students would prefer doing 12 straight hours of math with just numbers – and no words – to avoid one word problem. Why is this? Problem solving is the most relevant aspect of Algebra. Don't get me wrong, I love factoring polynomials, but seriously, when is that skill required in real life?
Use the following steps to solve word problems.
1. Identify the Problem
Back away from the calculator; use your brain first. Your mind analyzes, plans, and guides in the labyrinthine quest for the solution. Think of the calculator as merely a tool that makes the journey easier. After all, you wouldn't want a surgeon to crack your ribs and perform a heart transplant without first identifying the source of your chest pains.
2. Identify What You Know
Sometimes, we use the wrong information. Correctly examine the information of a word problem to uncover the correct answer.
3. Make a Plan
Work with a pencil and a serious eraser. It's ok to make mistakes. Relax if you haven't built a perfect problem solving model as quickly as your classmates. Problem solving is easier after a few rough drafts.
4. Carry out the Plan
Practice implementing a problem solving plan.
5. Verify That the Answer Makes Sense
The last step is where the problem solving concert (yes, Algebra is art!) concludes in harmony or crashes in dissonance. There are two red flags that signal wrong answers.

You only have to be on Thai soil for a minute before youstumble upon the Thai amulet, be it hanging from the rear view mirror of a taxi or dangling around the neck of a wealthy businessman. You might not realise, however, that amulets are more that just lucky Buddhist charms; this is big business. Amulets can fetch upwards of 1m Baht depending on their origin and age. There are conventions, numerous monthly publications reselling and educating, and an abundance of enthusiasts selling on the street in areas such as China Town.
So why I am interested in Thai amulets. Well I do like collectable things and I enjoy history, and for some time now I have been trying to figure out how one can tell what an amulet is worth, where it's from and if it's authentic or not. I am not in the market to buy because I am 100% sure I'd end up paying well over the odds and getting it all very wrong.
I am really struggling to see how the eye glass helps to identify the origin and age of an amulet. I have searched online for information, but at best I can only find English written warnings to beware of fakes, to not trust magazine pictures and to be careful of buying mass produced amulets that aren't made in temples. The materials used for fakes and authentic amulets are the same, making it easier to get ripped off. Apparently experts know how to spot real markings and obviously they know the issue history of different series of amulets. Another reoccurring warning in my research is to look out for sellers who are "selling" the luck/magic aspect of the amulet rather than its heritage. Apparently genuine sellers are genuinely interested in promoting an authentic resale market along with Buddhism itself.
I read in a book that there have been a few series of amulets issued at various times by the King to members of the aristocracy and leading army figures; clearly having one of these would be worth a fair buck. Many are issued in limited runs to commemorate the passing of well respected monks or commemorative days linked to the monarchy.
It's a huge business, but little information is accessible for westerners to learn and get involved because it is essentially a "Thai-centric" hobby. However, I am hoping that a few enthusiasts (or anyone with more knowledge than myself) might pass through and contribute some information in the comments section so that foreigners like myself can get an insight to this business/hobby.

The Senate convened and began a period of morning business, during which members addressed the previous day's actions by Senator Schumer attaching an amendment to lobbying reform legislation that would have negated an agreement between Bush administration officials and Dubai Ports World for control of several assets at U.S. seaports. Later in the day Senator Warner announced that Dubai Ports World had agreed to turn over all assets in the U.S. to a U.S. controlled entity.
The Senate rejected the motion to invoke cloture on S. 2349; Legislative Transparency and Accountability Act of 2006, and did not set a time for its reconsideration by the Senate. close

Illiopolis - On a Friday night in April of 2004 a massive explosion rocked the Formosa Plastic Plant in the Sangamon County village of Illiopolis.
Two more explosions followed. Five died and 3 were injured.
Now, nine years later, demolition of the plant is underway. "It's a constant reminder of what happened back then," Mayor Sam Rogers told WAND News. "It's an eyesore and a lot of people in town have wanted it cleaned up for quite awhile."
In addition to tearing down the plant an environmental clean up will also take place.
The U.S. Chemical Safety Board determined an employee at the plant overrode a safety valve allowing vinyl chloride liquid and vapors to leak into the plant causing an explosion. The safety board also found the company failed to properly train its employees to evacuate during a hazardous chemical leak.
The plant was opened by Borden Chemical in 1965.

David Branin & Karen Worden from Film Courage Release Feature 'Goodbye Promise' for $1 on IndieGoGo
Many of us have used crowdfunding platforms to get a project off the ground or at least to gauge interest in it — and many more of us have considered, or are planning, on doing so. But David Branin and Karen Worden from the indie film site Film Courage are utilizing a crowdfunding platform for another purpose: to distribute their finished film. Yesterday they released their DIY feature Goodbye Promise on Indiegogo — for just $1. David and Karen are seeking answers to the question we all face as filmmakers: how to best release our films to a changing world. I spoke to them via Skype about film festivals, online distribution, crowdfunding platforms, social media strategies, and more: More »
Prescreen is Suspending Operations, but Plenty of Options Still Exist for Indie Filmmakers
It seems like only yesterday (8 months, actually) that the curated rental website Prescreen appeared as one of the many new startups competing for eyeballs in the growing digital distribution world for independent films. Prescreen (technically still in beta) sent a message to users that it would be suspending operations for the foreseeable future and would notify members of future plans with the site. Just because Prescreen is shutting down, however, does not mean all hope is lost for independent film. There are plenty of other services still going strong. More »
The Magic and Madness of Picking a Start Date -- and Sticking to It
Producer Jon Kilik (who has an untouchable resume of 37 films) told Emerging Visions participants earlier this week a great story about working with Spike Lee. Spike told Jon for Do the Right Thing, his third feature, he wanted Robert DeNiro, a budget of $10 million, and a June 30th, 6AM start date. In Jon's words, "we didn't get DeNiro, we didn't get $10 million, but on June 30th at 6AM we rolled camera." This is a guest post about start dates by director Jeff Orgill, whose feature comedy Junkie Nurse debuted on Prescreen today.
You're thinking of directing your first feature film – you are about to dive off a cliff into a lake far below. When to jump? When to jump?…
This is your "start date." Filmmaking can be full of Catch-22 situations — how do I get the name cast without the money? Or the money without the name cast? — and so on. But the big daddy of them all is picking your start date. You don't want to commit to a date without everything in place — what if we don't have the budget by the start date? What about that location we don't have yet? But without a start date you will never make your film. More »

Accepting her recent People's Choice Award, comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres professed her love for her fans. She described one beloved fan as an "African-American woman" who is "single" and "works 80 hours a week to get by."
Sounds like a tough life, right? She was describing Oprah Winfrey. The crowd roared.
DeGeneres used comedic misdirection to get the laugh. She set up the joke by painting a picture of someone who seemed to be struggling to succeed. Race obviously made the mental picture even stronger. Her audience was more willing to associate poverty with an African-American woman than women in general.
The joke worked because the audience was conned into thinking a hardworking single black women must be facing poverty and limited opportunity instead of being one of the richest and most powerful people in the world.
That was funny, but there are real political and social misconceptions about race being perpetrated that aren't amusing.
Liberals, in particular, obsess about race and poverty while simultaneously blaming conservatives for the increased tensions.
Early in his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich called Barack Obama the "food stamp president" on NBC's "Meet the Press." Host David Gregory instinctively and immediately questioned Gingrich as to the racial connotations of the comment.
Similarly, a June 2013 article posted on The Grio, a left-leaning African-American-focused web site sponsored by MSNBC, discussed associations between welfare and African-Americans. Conservatives were naturally mostly to blame for perpetuating these stereotypes. "Welfare queen," a term used in an election 38 years ago, was considered a smoking gun of conservative guilt. Statements by former senator Rick Santorum during the 2012 Republican presidential primaries in which he said "black people" and "welfare" in the same sentence, and when Gingrich told a majority-black audience that poor blacks should demand jobs over welfare, were further proof. Neither, by the way, won the nomination.
It's hard to believe these sporadic examples prove conservatives, write large, are responsible for stereotyping African-Americans and poverty. Entertainment and music seem much more pervasive. Even professional sports hypes "rags to riches" opportunities. But the whole point of liberal misdirection is to sully conservatives' reputations and tarnish their ideas.
The media itself is another place where the black poverty myth is perpetrated.
In addition to Gregory's reaction on "Meet the Press," consider media reports about cuts to government assistance often contains racial angles. Consider the Grio article, and others such as this one at ThinkProgress, "Republicans, Race, and the Reason Attacking Welfare Will Backfire."
Biased reporting such as this demonstrates shows it is the left and not the right connecting race to welfare — perhaps because of their own subconscious generalizations. They are, for example, using those connections to promote or protect spending programs through racially-charged accusations.

In the 2012 season, Most of us witnessed what is considered the worst season that the jets have had in years. Mostly it was due impart to piss poor QB play, but also to the injuries to the WR corps. Here's what is fact: in 2012 the jets had the 30th ranked passing game in the league. The depth included Jeremy Kerley, Clyde Gates, Chaz Schliens, Tone' (for 2 weeks), and Georgia Tech rookie receiver Stephen Hill. While most consider Hill a bust, I on the other hand see him as having an average, if not normal, rookie season.
I say this because Hill while came out of a Heavy Triple Option Based Offensive scheme down at GT, he still managed to gain 1248 total YDS, 9 TD, 23.8 Y/G all on 49 receptions in 3 years. Most considered Hill a bust because he did not put up Megatron like numbers in Season 1 (Johnson also came out of GT) and the 4 drops during the season, including the Season Turning one at New England.
Hills Numbers at the end of the season totaled up to 11 GP, 252 YDS, 3 TD, 21/47 Targets (a 45% comp rating), 1.9 YAC, and 22.9 Y/G in just 11 GP. This is significant because in 2012 no rookie receiver broke the 1,000 yd mark. the Only rookie who came close was Justin Blackmon and he racked up 865 YDS. Hill in year two does not need a 1,000 yard season. But, he does need to show improvement, which i believe he will. One GT receiver that Hill can be expected to be more like is Demaryius Thomas. In D.T.'s rookie year he played in 10 games and racked up 283 YDS, 2 TD, 22/39 Targets (a 56% comp. rating) and had 6.5 YAC. While Hill may not of had the same target completion rating or YAC, the two did put up similar overall YDS and TD's. The QB play between the two WR's is also eerily similar in that in 2010 D.T. had Kyle Orton and Tebow throwing to him, while we had, well Butt-fumble, Tebow?, and McElroy at QB. In D.T.'s 2nd season he was able to gain 551 YDS, 4 TD, 32 Receptions, and 50.1 Y/G.
By the way that's still with Orton and Timmy Tebow.
Now, am I saying that Stephen will put up those Numbers? Depending on his progression (which from tweets during training camp point upwards) and the QB play, I say Hell YES. In fact, I strongly believe having Braylon and Tone' (even injured), mentor him, i can see Hill having anywhere from 500-700 rec. yards and 5-8 TD's. He has the speed, size, and a year under his belt, so it's not unprecedented that this happen. If he develops just the right way, he can become our NO.1 WR in the near future. and potentially breakout for +1000 yds and +10 TD's. But, I don't think it's possible THIS YEAR. there's not enough stability at QB (so far we all know), and the rest of camp needs to go on.
So, what do you think? Can Stephen Hill Breakout this year and become the receiver we need?

Sure, it'd be nice to rationalize the beating our beloved squad took in Week One. But when you read something like this, it kind of makes you want to root for the team that doesn't have a history of success. Then again, the sort of sudden love affair depicted in that story might make you resent the bandwagon fans.
Speaking of bandwagon fans, watch out...your Houston Texans are going to have thousands come that first playoff appearance. The people that have been around during the lean years will have earned their stripes, just like the true Cardinal fans are sporting theirs now.

Power Rankings: Pound-for-pound

Weight Class:Date:
It was a good win, Jon Jones. We expected as much, but props for taking care of business against Chael Sonnen (mangled toe and all). Watching Jones absolutely dominate at UFC 159, one couldn't help but think of Anderson Silva -- the only man still ranked ahead of Jones in the, "Best fighter in the world" category. As of right now, there are three ways Jones passes Silva on this list: 1. Fight him and beat him. 2. Move to heavyweight and dominate a higher weight class. 3. Silva retires. What's weird is, within, what, two to three years? All may have happened. On the other hand, if Silva wants to stay ahead of Jones in terms of "Greatest Ever," there's only one option for him -- prove he can beat him in the Octagon. Let's see it.

To a journalist's ear, the words "energy" and "crisis" belong together, in part because coverage of energy issues has been fueled largely by episodic coverage of difficulties people confront when sources of energy diminish—such as gasoline price hikes and shortages—or they vanish, as in electricity blackouts. To some degree this approach is changing as better-trained journalists pursue stories about energy and keep watchful eyes on a wider range of critical energy issues. – Melissa Ludtke, Editor
Ahead of the 25th anniversary of Tiananmen Square, Nieman Reports takes an in-depth look at The State of Journalism in China and what a number of reporters are doing to cope with tight restrictions. As Chinese officials continue to block websites from around the world, jam social media postings and delete sensitive online information, domestic journalists in China are seeking ways to circumvent censors.

I can't believe how fast everyone gets disappointed. I love Spags, and I really like Daniels, and there are somethings we need to understand. We SAID our first 7 games were really tough. We SAID the lock out was gonna effect us the most, because we have such a young team. Our secondary is horrible, but you have to understand that we lost 2 or our top 3 CBs. We also lost Atogwe to Free Agency. There is two new starting LBs in the team. Don't let this blow out get you down. Baltimore is a deep threat team, and we have no CORNERS!
Rams are moving the ball extremely well, we are just having problems in the RED ZONE.
Sam BRADFORD is everything he is made out to be, he just had two bad fumbles.
Our OL are opening holes for the RUNNING game.
Our Defense is INCREDIBLE, minus the secondary.
Gibson is stepping out, and playing WELL.
MSW is starting to get better.
Kendricks is losing his Rookie Jitters.
We still have some holes in our system due to injuries, and the lock out, BUT this is a LEGIT team. I love our off season pick ups. I love our strong defense, and I like what I see in the offensive schemes. We just havent execute, and we have the right for that.
We are the future of this League. We will still win this division. Just have patience, and stand by your Team, have confidence in your Coach.

The sportsfield inventory is comprised of both City and School District owned fields that are maintained by City staff. Working together, along with sport user groups, the City is committed to providing safe, quality sport surfaces for year round use.
In order to keep the City's sportsfields in optimum condition, proper maintenance, play management and continued cooperation between the City, the School District and sport users is essential.
Field Closures
Unsafe field conditions caused by poor weather are the primary reason for sportsfield closures. Experience has shown that most turf damage occurs with field overuse or use during inclement weather. If your home field is damaged as a result of play during inclement weather the City may not be able to provide an alternative facility. Thus it is in everyone's interest to ensure that fields are not used when play damages the playing surface. In order to meet the demand for high quality fields and to ensure a safe playing field both weather and field conditions are regularly monitored to ensure that scheduled games do not:
- Cause abnormal damage to the field surface
- Jeopardize further scheduled use of fields
- Compromise personal safety of league players or general public
Field Closure Procedure
Fields are inspected daily on weekends between September and March and weekly throughout the rest of the year by the City's Park's Turf Technicians. If any of the following conditions occur, fields may be temporarily or permanently closed.
- Standing water on field
- Snow pack
- Frozen field
- Ongoing field repair
- Periods of forecasted severe weather warnings
Although fields may be open for play, weather and field conditions may deteriorate by game time. In these situations, it is the responsibility of field users to determine whether or not to resume play. Coaches are asked to avoid high use areas near the goals when using fields for practices, and to not practice on wet fields.
User Discretion - Coaches Responsibilities
With User Discretion we have empowered the user to make common sense decisions on game day time about whether or not to cancel an event on their field. We ask that if there is frost or standing water on any area of the field or it is too wet to play, to postpone and re-schedule the event. Please notify the Field Booking Clerk at 604.927.7902 the next day to advise if you have postponed an event.
Field Maintenance
For field maintenance inquiries please contact:
- 604-928-2468 on weekends, 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (September to March 31).
- 604-927-5480 on weekdays, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Monday to Friday)
Port Coquitlam sportsfields are booked on a rental basis. If you wish to rent a field, please fill
out the Fields Request Form completely prior to booking.
For more information or to book sportsfields, please call 604-927-7902 or email Anne Berg at

It's been one month since the six-year-old boy fell into a hole and was buried under 11 feet of sand on Mt. Baldy. Since then, the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore closed their biggest dune and are trying to figure out why the accident happened.
Monday, the Environmental Protection Agency joined in the investigation. "What we're looking for is anything abnormal. A tree, a pipeline, who knows," says spokesman Francisco Arcaute.
He says they have no idea why 6-year-old Nathan Woessner was buried at the most popular dune at the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. "We're here as long as the National Park Service needs us."
There's a white pole marking where the accident happened and Monday crews began an investigation using ground sensing equipment. "If there's anything abnormal or unique or different, we will continue to observe the data," says Arcaute.
Using the ground penetration radar unit, Arcaute says they will be able to retrieve 3-D images from 30 feet under ground. "It's a $30,000 unit that essentially, think of it like an ultrasound, but focusing down under ground."
It's typically used to find buried pipelines or hazardous waste and used along with the specialized GPS unit, the investigators will be able to map out the entire 42 acre dune. And Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore spokesperson, Bruce Rowe says the investigation may not stop there. "Because Mount Baldy is the fastest moving dune, we know there's trees under it, this is the only spot that's closed, the only spot we're investigating. If we learn that other spots are potentially dangerous, then we'll look at those as well."
Rowe says he has no idea how long the dune will be closed. "Our number one goal out here is to make sure the visitor is safe and we're not going to reopen Mount Baldy until we understand the science of what's going on underneath."
And right now, that's their focus, to learn more about this uncommon phenomenon. "We've found nothing like this, it's really new developing science," says Rowe.
As far as the cost of this research project, the EPA is providing the staff and equipment at no direct cost to the park.

First off, heartbreaking loss tonight. Dirk got his first 20/20 game in who know how long (ever???)
Anyway...with nothing else to do tonight, I decided too look up all of the players the Mavericks have ever drafted. I narrowed the list down to those that played 200 NBA career games and then to those that played AT LEAST 100 games as a Maverick.There are 23 total players that meet this criteria (if I missed somebody, let me know and I'll see where they fit)
In compiling the rankings I looked at where they were drafted (bonus for those drafted LATER seeing as how that's value pick), NBA games played, Mavs games played, career PPG, career APG, career RPG and Playoff games as a Maverick.
- Derek Harper 1983 11th pick overall
- Roland Blackman 1981 9th pick overall
- Jason Kidd 1994 2nd pick overall
- Josh Howard 2003 29th pick overall
- Mark Aguire 1981 1st pick overall
- Sam Perkins 1984 4th pick overall
- Greg Buckner 1998 53rd pick overall
- Detlef Schrempf 1985 8th pick overall
- Jay Vincent 1981 24th pick overall
- Dale Ellis 1983 9th pick overall
- Elston Turner 1981 43rd pick overall
- Lucious Harris 1993 28th pick overall
- Sean Rooks 1992 30th pick overall
- Bill Wennington 1985 16th pick overall
- Jim Jackson 1993 4th pick overall
- Roy Tarpley 1986 7th overall
- Jamal Mashburn 1993 4th overall
- Donald Hodge 1991 33rd overall
- Randy White 1989 8th overall
- Doug Smith 1991 6th overall
- Samaki Walker 1996 9th overall
- Uwe Blab 1985 17th overall
- Bill Garnett 1982 4th overall
No, this does not indicate that Derek Harper had a better career (or was a better player) than Jason Kidd. Or that Josh Howard is better than Mark Aguirre. Remember that premiums are given to games played as a Mav as well as career games and playoff games to go with the Pts/Reb/Ast stats.
If Roy Tarpley weren't a screw up, those late 80s Mavs teams could have....
This should show that the Mavs need somebody that can scout college ball players. Notice that the youngest player here is JOSH HOWARD. And next youngest is Jay Vincent!
And Kidd is the only Hall of Famer in the list (though Aguirre is possibly borderline)
I'll do one in a bit that will likely be just as eye opening, best Maverick free agent signings...

July 2, 2012, Casey Anthony made her first public appearance since her 2011 acquittal of her daughter Caylee's murder. A look in photos at her activities following the trial.
A look at some shocking acquittals that took everyone, except maybe the jury, by complete surprise.
But luckily for her she won't have to pay it. Earlier this week a judge granted her debt relief from the massive bills she racked up for her defense.
In a handwritten statement, Casey Anthony claimed that June 9, 2008, was the last time she saw her daughter alive. Detectives found holes in her statements, claiming that Casey was alive and with her grandmother on June 15. Casey Anthony was famously acquitted of killing Caylee.
As Casey Anthony prepares to enjoy her freedom, the woman who is suing her for defamation, Zenaida Gonzales, is arrested for selling alcohol to a minor.
Casey Anthony was famously acquitted of killing her daughter Caylee last summer, escaping the most serious charges against her, but the jury did find her guilty of four counts of lying to police. Now Anthony, who's been bobbing in and out of the spotlight since her acquittal convictions overturned.

Home › Upper School › Support Services ›
An invitation from Casey Mills, Upper School counselor
Want to talk? Need someone to listen? Want to sort through options with someone outside your family?
Adolescence is a time of change for students and their families. We at Catlin Gabel hope that students will use this time to understand themselves better, find their talents, stretch their limits, connect with others in the community in meaningful ways and make plans for their future. Sometimes the road to those goals is a bit bumpy. At those times, it is often nice to get the perspective of someone outside your family. Counseling is one avenue for this, and I welcome both student and parent meetings, phone calls and emails. Sometimes students want a quick conversation; sometimes they want referrals to counselors off campus. I keep an active list of people in the community who would be eager to work with Catlin Gabel students and families. As with all counseling, I keep information that students share confidential.
In addition to meeting with students, I work closely with the Upper School head, the assistant Upper School head, the learning specialist, and advisors to make certain the transition to Catlin Gabel is as smooth as possible. I also work regularly with the other division counselors to help students make the transition from one division to another. This is an exciting time as we learn more about brain development in the adolescent years and how that effects decisions students make. We all try to use the most relevant and up to date data to inform our work with students and families.
I look forward to hearing from you and if you have any questions or concerns, my office is upstairs in the Dant House. Feel free to send me an email email@example.com or stop by!

Quota Licenses for Imported Capital Equipment: Could Bureaucrats Ever DoBetter than the Market?
AbstractDespite valid criticisms, many developing countries have issued non-transferable import licenses to a limited number of final-good producers so as to restrict imports of an input capital equipment. This paper demonstrates that for a given import quota, such licensing restrictions can actually increase domestic production of both the input and the final product, but at the cost of reduced quota rents. Under pure competition, domestic welfare falls relative to the use of marketable quota licenses, but if foreigners would get the quota rents, or if external economies cause decreasing costs, then bureaucratic allocation can dominate.

A simple sandwich with few ingredients, which must be fresh, makes for a great lunch both at home and when traveling.
Had this sandwich below at an Italian deli in London.
Fresh sourdough baguette, parma ham, fresh tomato and lettuce – very tasty!

Yes more pizza.
I stopped by this bar/restaurant a few times for lunch while working down the street in London.
At first appearance it did not look like they would have good food here, it was a dark, subdued bar, but they had plenty of table seats and a menu so…
After finally figuring out I needed to order at the bar, I walked up and placed my order.
I was pleasantly surprised by the great quality of the pizza that I ordered and enjoyed it very much.
Lesson learned, never go by appearances only….this one was a hidden gem – if you like pizza that is…
This pizza is parma ham with mascarpone cheese – I love wood fired pizza's!
L'Orecchietta is located at 29-30 Wakley St, Islington, Greater London
After work, on another hunt for a local restaurant in London, I went searching for a few highly rated places to have dinner. Unfortunately the first one was so crowded there was a line out the door and down the block – damn they must have really good food there! It was time to revert to plan B which was a pizzeria that was down the road another block.
When I found the restaurant, I was surprised to see it was in a former fire engine house. The decor was top notch and interesting, but instead of sitting inside I opted to sit at the outdoor seats and enjoy the warm night air and watch life go by in London.
Service was quick and efficient, the menu selection very good, and the food tasted excellent!
I had their Rocket & Prosciutto pizza which had black olives, mozzarella and tomato sauce, topped with prosciutto, fresh peppery rocket (arugula) and shaved Grana Padano.
This pizza paired nicely with a local brew called Camden Hells.
Having very much enjoyed the quality fresh pizza I had to also try their desserts and picked out their Vanilla Pannacotta that came with a mixed berry fruit compote.
I was really amazed how great a pizza could taste – this place wowed me on all levels.

On my first night in London, I was beat. After a long 25 hour day of traveling (from the time I left my house until I arrived at my hotel in London), I was beat and ready for dinner.
I knew of a couple of nice restaurants a few miles away but after the long day I wasn't up for taking a cab or walking around so I searched my iphone apps for a local restaurant near my hotel and I found a well rated seafood place right behind my hotel. Turned out it was even better then I was expecting. Nice ambiance, good service and the seafood tasted very fresh and very good.
Fish Central can be found at 149-151 Central St., St Luke's, Greater London EC1V 8BY

Fresh Mint Tea
At an outdoor cafe in Amsterdam
One day for lunch I walked thru the streets for a while before I came upon a cafe who's entire front of the restaurant was opened up making it a sort of inside/outside restaurant which was cool to see and made for a nice ambiance.
The name of the place was Lunchcafe Blom and they are located at Nieuwendijk 117-119, 1012 MD Amsterdam
Website: http://lunchcafeblom.nl/en/
For a good cup of coffee, cappuccino or espresso, a nice lunch and the best sandwiches, and even an English breakfast.
Everything is made fresh from the finest ingredients.
For today's lunch I had their club sandwich with smoked salmon, scrambled egg, chive and mayonaise and to wash it all down I had a lemon soda, not to be confused with lemon-lime soda aka sprite.
One of the things I found I enjoyed the most while traveling in Europe, was a simple deli sandwich. What made them exceptionally good was the fact that everything was very fresh, especially the baked breads. A good fresh sourdough baguette always makes for one very delicious sandwich!
This sandwich was one of my favorites, I got it at a small outdoor market that was near the Rijksmuseum. I stopped and had a sandwich and drink for lunch before heading over to the Van Gogh museum.
This sandwich was simplicity at it's finest – very few ingredients, but all very fresh and very tasty.
Ingredients were: fresh sourdough baguette, fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and fresh basil leaves with a little bit of extra virgin live oil.
Herring and Hot Dogs
While working in Amsterdam I dined out nightly at the local restaurants. There were many great ones to choose from, all featuring authentic dishes to their ethnicity – it was foodie nirvana!
This night I dined outside at an Italian restaurant called Ristorante Savini, Cucina Italiana.
Located at Spuistraat 1D, 1012 SP Amsterdam, their website can be viewed at http://www.savini.nl/eng/index.php
Dining around 9pm is uncanny in Amsterdam as it does not get dark until 10:30-11pm. The late afternoons seem to never end, which is a good thing.
Tonight I had the beef carpaccio and house penne pasta with Italian sausage.

The search for an Illinois woman who vanished early Sunday, leaving only tracks in the snow leading to a road after a car crash that killed her husband, has been suspended until weather conditions in the area improve, authorities said Wednesday.
An Illinois mother has gone missing. Police think she walked away from a crash that killed her husband and disappeared.
An Illinois woman walked away from a car crash that killed her husband, authorities believe, but they have found no trace of her other than footprints in the snow leading to a road.
Tribune Co. has filed a reorganization plan in a bankruptcy court that would turn control over to its principle creditors and aims to keep the media conglomerate intact.
Even before I knew there were 34 different beers on offer at Minnesota Twins games, or watched live soccer from Europe in high-def while still in my pajamas, or paused Roy Halladay's no-hitter in mid-motion as if I were Samantha freezing Darren on Bewitched, I knew we were living -- at this very moment -- in a miraculous Golden Age of Sports.
The Chicago Cubs aren't going to win anything this year despite having one of baseball's largest payrolls. But their bankrupt owner, Sam Zell's Tribune Co., may be about to hit a home run -- at your expense.
A federal lawsuit alleges police are seizing money and property of non-whites by threatening them with criminal prosecution.
How did you go bankrupt?" Bill asked.
Federal prosecutors say they've uncovered a "political corruption crime spree" involving Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who allegedly hatched a variety of bribery schemes to enrich himself and his family while silencing critics.
Media conglomerate Tribune Co., publisher of the Chicago Tribune, announced Monday it is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
Real estate tycoon Sam Zell is renowned for putting together deals with head-scratching financial structures that result in him getting his way, getting his pay and giving as little as possible to the government.
The Chicago Cubs may not make it to the World Series this season, yet may still end up as players in a classic event: the World Series of tax dodging. That's because I think the team owner, Sam Zell's Tribune Co., is trying to unload the Cubs in a way likely to draw heat from tax authorities.
Mort Zuckerman, owner of the New York Daily News, isn't going to let his archrival, News Corp.'s Rupert Murdoch snatch away Newsday without a fight. He's matched News Corp.'s offer to pay $580 million for Tribune Co.'s Long Island paper. The Zuckerman camp is also warning that Murdoch's pending deal with Tribune may not withstand regulatory scrutiny.
Nobody's timing was better at the top of the last boom than Sam Zell. Just before the credit markets collapsed, he sold his real estate empire for $36 billion. Now Zell is trying to sell newspapers, and his timing couldn't be worse.
While speculation continues to swirl about the possible sale of Newsday to the likes of Rupert Murdoch or Mort Zuckerman, the Long Island newspaper's owner, real estate magnate Sam Zell, won't confirm whether the estimated $600 million asset is actually for sale. Some analysts, in fact, believe it doesn't make sense for Zell to sell.
Journalists are supposed to inform readers about the issues, not sway their votes. So why
do newspapers still endorse candidates?
Authorities say a man dressed in black opened fire from a stage of a lecture hall at Northern Illinois University, killing four people and himself
The Los Angeles Times fired its top editor after he rejected a management order to cut $4 million from the newsroom budget, 14 months after his predecessor was also ousted
"What this company needs is an owner," declared Sam Zell, after completing the $8.2 billion deal that put him in charge of the Tribune Co., which owns newspapers including the Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times and Newsday. "It needs someone who accepts the responsibility for what this company does."
Real estate magnate Sam Zell took control of newly private Tribune Co. on Thursday and began shaking up the newspaper and TV company the moment the $8.2 billion buyout he led closed
Tribune Co. shareholders have approved an $8.2 billion plan to take the company private with 100 percent ownership by the company's employee stock ownership plan and with real estate mogul Sam Zell as an investor.
Tribune Co. shareholders approved a proposed $8.2 billion buyout by real estate tycoon Sam Zell on Tuesday in a boost to investors who feared a deteriorating credit market would hamper the deal.
Newspaper publisher and broadcaster Tribune Co. said on Wednesday that quarterly profit and revenue fell as newspaper advertising sales suffered.
BACK IN 1981 the Tribune Co. bought the hapless Chicago Cubs for a bargain price of $21 million, prompting the Chicago Tribune's own sports columnist, Bob Verdi, to quip, "I don't know why we bought the Cubs. We already had a perfectly good company softball team."

Chicago real estate mogul Sam Zell, tapped Monday as the buyer of media conglomerate Tribune Co., has already talked to entertainment mogul David Geffen about a possible deal for the Los Angeles Times, according to a published report.
Real estate mogul Sam Zell has succeeded in his bid to take control of newspaper publisher Tribune Co.
The following shares were among the most actively traded Friday:
Chicago real estate mogul Sam Zell has reportedly become a front runner to buy the Tribune Co. media conglomerate, which has struggled to find a buyer whose offer was acceptable to the company.
Sam Zell, whose Equity Office Properties is about to be sold for $23 billion after a hot bidding war for the firm, is reported to be the latest billionaire interested buying control of Tribune Co., which has not attracted the offers that company had hoped for when it was put up for sale.
Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. has joined the Chandler family in its bid for Tribune Company, according to a report Tuesday.
The Chicago Cubs are acting very un-Cub like this winter. That may be good news for the team's long-suffering fans but not for shareholders of newspaper publisher Tribune Co.
Stocks appear to be looking for direction early Monday ahead of a busy week full of economic and earnings reports.
Tribune Co. is under increasing pressure to sell its largest paper, the Los Angeles Times, according to published reports, just as the company is close to working out a truce with the Chandler family, the former owner of the paper and one of the company's largest shareholder.

SALEM — Normally, it takes Haya Masood only a few minutes to walk to the train station from her apartment just down the street.
This week, her walk was twice as long.
"Now it takes an extra 10 minutes," the 32-year-old Salem woman said while negotiating a zig-zag path down ramps and around barriers that the MBTA set up at the start of its 14-month reconstruction of the commuter rail station.
It took Masood so long Tuesday morning that she missed her train.
It has been that kind of week for commuters at a station that has been closed to everything except buses, handicapped drivers and pedestrians.
As the train station project gets underway, the city's "Building Salem" office has fielded a number of questions and concerns.
A resident on Raymond Road complained of the lack of a shelter or a place to sit at the bus drop-off area.
"I wonder why something wasn't provided before demolition started?" the woman wrote in an email that City Councilor Joe O'Keefe forwarded to the Building Salem office. "I would like to have shelter and seating provided. Twelve-plus months under these (conditions) are not acceptable."
A Beverly woman said the new ramp system and walkway into the station from Bridge Street was so long that she stopped to help an elderly woman struggling to get to the train.
"She was barely able to make it (to the station) after 25 minutes of walking," said Mary Ellen Miller, 52, of Beverly.
In addition, she complained the signs were confusing.
"I consider myself an intelligent woman, and I was lost," Miller said.
Last Friday, a disabled man also had trouble negotiating his way through the site and had to seek out help, according to the police log.
The MBTA has heard the complaints and is responding.

Papa Pirate, Baby Bandit
So, we got together and thought about it and discussed it, and Mitsumata is really our pet project. However, you guys don't really know who WE are yet, as a group.
SO! We have decided to put together a smaller game as a sort of "get to know us" deal that introduces you to the world in Mitsumata, only a bit more light-hearted, perhaps.
There will be people you'll recognize…but in the way you're least expecting!
Without further ado, I would like to present:
Yes, the name is meant to be that wacky.
Welcome to Makai, the demon world. You are Kiel, the Majin leader of a small group of bandits outside of the capital city Agarthia. Your group isn't doing so well…bandits don't do honest work too well, and the roads you usually pillage on have been going kind of dry. Your men are getting hungry, and they're not above making each other their dinner.
But, luck shines on you! A group of passing Majin aristocrats drop—a baby. A baby? Well, your average fully grown adult Majin IS only about as smart as a 14 year old boy, so you'll have to forgive their absent-mindedness. However, you, Kiel, are much smarter than that, and instead of handing her to your men for dinner…you wait for that ransom money to pour on in.
But, until then, you're forced to deal with that little mouth. Feeding it, schooling it, sending it out to service your men and work in the fields and bring you back the money—hm, maybe this isn't as bad of a deal as you thought.
And if you're a really GREAT father…well, who knows!

Albany, NY - December 14, 2011 - A new video analysis of the RFK assassination entitled "RFK Speaks from the Grave" reveals a well-rehearsed cabal of operatives using stealthy pre-arranged signals and timing sequences to walk RFK into a Kill Zone, pointing the Kill Spot out to RFK, and flashing RFK an ancient symbol seconds before he is shot. The findings are gleaned from analyzing the historic RFK assassination film and may be viewed at www.indiegogo.com/rfk. According to discoverer Daniel Forant, the analysis will resurrect RFK'S assassination and rocket the case for a second shooter.
"Two researchers Dr. Robert Joling and Philip Van Praag and other forensic specialists like the ones in a June 2007 'Discovery Channel' special argue that the shot that killed Kennedy had to come from the rear. Sirhan was in front of Kennedy," Forant said. "My video exposes a cabal of men pushing RFK like a cheap deer toward other hunters pre-positioned to kill him from behind. The human hunt is on IndieGoGo."
