Brandon Sun - ONLINE EDITION
Province sells off property registry
Will improve service for users: Struthers
A cash-strapped Manitoba government is selling its property registry to a company owned by Ontario municipal employees for $75 million.
Finance Minister Stan Struthers said Thursday the sale to Teranet Manitoba is a good deal for the province and for users, who should see improved service.
But the union representing most of the registry's 137 workers warns that Manitobans can expect to pay higher fees to stoke the company's profits.
Struthers and Teranet chief executive officer Jay Forbes said none of the workers will be laid off. Their health benefits and pensions will be maintained and they will remain members of the Manitoba Government and General Employees Union (MGEU).
The property registry is used primarily by lawyers, real estate agents and financial institutions on behalf of clients who are buying or selling a house or applying for a loan.
In addition to the $75-million payment, Teranet will pay annual royalties to the government that, Struthers said, will exceed the revenues the province currently receives from the registry. The annual payments will start at $11 million in 2013 and climb to $24 million by the end of Teranet's 30-year licensing agreement.
In last spring's budget, Struthers vowed to sell off $83 million in government assets in an attempt to meet his fiscal projections. The property registry's privatization goes a long way to accomplishing that.
"The deal we are announcing today is good for consumers, good for taxpayers, good for employees and good for our province," said Struthers.
However, MGEU president Michelle Gawronsky said she's not so sure about that. "Companies are there to make a profit. Government is elected to provide a service. When government sells the service, somebody is going to be paying for the private profits," she said in an interview.
The MGEU revealed in a news release posted on its website that Teranet has negotiated the right to raise annual fees by the rate of inflation plus one percentage point. A government spokeswoman later confirmed that point.
The MGEU expressed surprise and disappointment at the NDP's foray into privatization. "To date I think we've seen a commitment from this government to maintain public entities and protect Manitoba jobs, but that's not what we're seeing today," Gawronsky said.
Forbes said more than half the registry's staff will be eligible for retirement over the next five years. With automation he expects the registry will require fewer workers in the future.
Peter Squire, a spokesman for the Winnipeg Realtors Association, said his members are hoping the sale will mean a quicker turnaround on land title transfers. He said it's too early to offer much more comment on the deal at this time.
Conservative Leader Brian Pallister said the sale "smacks of desperation" for an NDP government that's been in power for 13 years and has just this week discovered an efficiency "that's existed potentially for many, many years."
He said the government seems to be looking for increased revenues without making a commitment to get at the root of its fiscal problems, which is excessive spending.
Key elements
Teranet Manitoba will pay $75 million for the Property Registry, plus annual royalties starting at $11 million and rising to $24 million over the next 30 years.
None of the registry's 137 employees will be laid off; they will continue to be represented by their union.
All existing provincial registry offices will be maintained.
Teranet will invest $35.5 million in technical upgrades to ensure speedier secure online title searches and registrations.
The government will maintain the authority to set rates charged by the company for service.
Data used by Teranet, such as land survey and property titles, will continue to be owned by the province and protected by privacy legislation.
The government will create a new Office of the Registrar General to oversee the registry system and ensure service levels are maintained.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Chesterfield County schools are usually above average with excellent teachers and parental involvement. This one seems to be the exception. While the teachers are incredible, dedicated individuals, their hands seem to be tied. They don't have much parental involvement and seem to not want any. The quality of the education speaks for itself. If you read the student reviews, only one is free from a multitude of errors.
I have had a bad experience with this school since my daughters started attending last year. One of my daughters was bullied by a boy, his mother, and his sister at the bus stop. She was so upset by this matter that it prevented her from taking the bus to school that day. She was told to report this to the principle and she did so. I guess she should have just kept it to herself. She was given two days in school suspension for defending herself against the two adults involved in this matter by using words only. Where is the justice in this situation when a 30 something year old adult is bullying by swearing and threatening my 13 year olds at the bus stop? I called the school about this this situaion on the day it happened. I did not receive a return phonecall for two days. I wll be moving shortly and I cannot wait to get my daughters out of this school. I am sick and tired of them being the ones paying the consequences when they are trying to defend themselves from bullying.
I recently moved and my daughter had to transfer to Falling Creek Middle. At first I was horrified, but after her first week I felt much better about her attending. She has only been in this school since March 2011 and her grades are much better and she really likes her teachers. She says there are some issues with students at this school, but she hasn't had any problems. I was extremly impressed with her counselor Ms. Craig and her teachers Ms. Holmes, Ms. Geter and her science teacher. They are wonderful and very helpful.
hi i went 2 this school. it was drama. but now that i am moving i am confident that u will pick the right school 4 your child. i no that mi mom did!!!!!!
it is the best and you can make wonderful friends and learn from wonderful teachers
I'm a student of falling creek and i would recommend this school to every one attending middle school! i love this school i do get bullied but we do have a guidance center where you can talk about all your problems and i went there and they helped me alot and shortly after that once i used my info the guidance person told me and after this i was fine no one bullied me and i was great the rest of the school year i hope everyone can find out how amazing this school really is:)
Im a student from Falling creek & i would not recommend anyone to attend this school. There's way too many bullies in there and fights!.
This school is the best coming from a student currently attending the school. Its very well behaved,and i dnt know we are known for having low test scores because i get great grades! thank you for reading.
My son was a student at Falling Creek 2 years ago. I jumped at the opportunity to move him out of there based on all of the things we had been through. He went from barely passing to honor roll in just a year. This speaks volumes to me about the staff and administration. I had to force the administration and teachers to involve me. Tell me, how does a child bring home a report card with all failing grades and the parent receive no prior communication. This was especially concerning to me because my son and I were hurricane evacuees from the Gulf Coast and at the time that I enrolled my son in Falling Creek I asked the guideance counselor to keep a check on my son to make sure that he was transitioning ok, being that we had just been through such a tramatic experience.
Falling Creek Middle is not a good school. I am a parent of a student who is constantly bullied. My child is very intellectual & the students pick on her because she wants to learn. The kids disrupt classes & the teachers & staff have no control over the students. I have to move because I want my child to have a better education which she cannot get at FCMS. The school needs a whole new staff & Discipline put in place. I would not recommend this school at all.
I'm currently a student at FCMS and i think this school is terrific. There is such a warm and inviting atmosphere at Falling Creek Middle. The teachers are awesome...they challenge everyone according to each person.
I like falling creek middle school,i don't believe it's the principal,teachers or counselors.I believe children and adults learn different ways.But I think we need to go back to some of the old ways,to give the children a chance to have the oppournity to pick up a book and read and learn.I know when I was in school,if I wasn't able to bring all of my books home, even on the weekend,I would of been lost.Also,alot of it is parnets just don't have the time to encourage and help their children or don't want to.
There is very little support from administration they do not seem to know what is going on in the school. Parent involvement isnot encouraged or accepted. The school administrators act as bullies themselves. The overall atmosphers of this school is not good. The teachers are not involved with the students. There seems to be a total disconnect between the students and teachers, administrators. i honestly cannot recommend this school to anyone, and am very happy that I have removed my children from this hostile atmosphers.
This school has a lot of great teachers who give a great deal of extra time in the mornings and afternoons working with students. A variety of activities are provided as well as activity buses 3 days a week to provide transportation for students who wouldn't otherwise be able to stay. Not many schools in the county do this. Falling Creek also has a lot of discipline issues and the students need to be held accountable for their actions. This doesn't always happen, however, has improved over the last year. We need more parent involvement and have a lot of opportunities for parents to be involved not only with after school activities but during school as well. Some opportunities for parents, teachers and administrators to work together are the back to school grade level orientations, Fall Cookout, Game Night, Health Fair, and the Parent Institute, all provided by Title 1.
The biggest problems here are the administration, lack of discipline and safety issues directly related to the lack of enforcement of school rules by the administration. Discipline appears unfair with victims being punished in the same manner as the perpetrators of violence. There is very little parental involvement within the school and administration does not seem willing to support parental involvment within the school setting. Teachers appear to be doing a good job considering the problems associated with the administration. In summary, this school could be a much better school if administration would work together with, instead of against, parents, students and teachers.

James Brolin - James Brolin: 'Josh And Diane's Divorce Was Mutual'
Picture: James Brolin, at Joel Silver's Memorial Day party in Malibu Los Angeles, California - 28.05.12
Veteran actor James Brolin has assured family friends and fans his son Josh and estranged daughter-in-law Diane Lane are doing "Ok" in the wake of their marriage split.
The Hollywood stars, who wed in August, 2004, quietly parted ways late last year (12), but the news was not made public until last week (21Feb13).
It subsequently emerged that Lane had signed off on the divorce papers on Valentine's Day (14Feb13), citing 13 February (13) as the official date of separation. The petition was lodged in court on 15 February (13).
Neither Brolin nor The Perfect Storm star have commented on the split, but the actor's dad James has now opened up about the pair's marriage breakdown, telling People magazine, "Everything is mutual. It's all Ok... Josh is great. He's doing fine. Everything is fine."
Josh Brolin was introduced to Lane at a 2002 party by his stepmother, James' wife Barbra Streisand.

The research on optical packet switching (OPS) has witnessed considerable progress in the 1990s. We examine the future potential of OPS in the core network by discussing this switching approach and the current status of a number of its enabling technologies. Many of these technologies are still in the stage of research and experimentation. We see that optical packet switching may be deployed in the long-term future subject to satisfaction of three main conditions/developments. First, additional technological developments have to take place to overcome remaining implementation challenges while making OPS cost-effective to deploy. Second, a rational migration scenario of the network toward gradual deployment of packet-based optical switching approaches should exist. Finally, carriers have to become more interested in packet-based optical switching solutions

This is what Ferguson looked like Tuesday morning.
Shattered glass from looted stores covered the asphalt. Shell casings from unknown shooters littered the ground. And more than a dozen buildings, including stores owned by local residents, had been set ablaze.
As protesters hurled bottles, batteries and rocks at police, officers in riot gear responded by shooting bean bags and tear gas.
"This ain't Iraq. This is the United States," Demetric Whitlock yelled to a line of police officers on South Florissant Road, in front of the Ferguson Police Department.
When a grand jury decided Monday not to indict Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson in the August shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, the news triggered fresh confrontations between protesters and police in the tense Missouri city.
While most of the demonstrators peacefully protested on the streets, some smashed the windows of a police cruiser and set another on fire.
An entire row of businesses on West Florissant Avenue, a major thoroughfare, was engulfed in flames. There were so many infernos that firefighters couldn't rush to every one.
Amid the looting and arson, some protesters demanded the media stop reporting on the events. CNN's Sara Sidner was struck in the head with a rock.
Many business owners will return to their shops to see their livelihoods in ruins. Looters broke into a beauty supply store and stole hair weaves and wigs, leaving the heads of mannequins strewn in the middle of the street.
And in nearby Dellwood, some people torched a row of cars at a car dealership and set several businesses on fire.
"The fire district does not feel safe coming out to put out fires because of the gunshots and the looting there taking place," Dellwood Mayor Reggie Jones said. "So they are refusing, basically, to come out and put these fires out."
29 arrested, no serious injuries
Amid the chaos, police made 29 arrests in Ferguson. No officers suffered any serious injuries, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said, and to his knowledge, police didn't cause any serious injuries, either.
But Belmar said he heard at least 100 gunshots go off through the night. Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson said police did not fire any of the bullets.
On Tuesday morning,Gov. Jay Nixon ordered more Missouri National Guard members to Ferguson.
"The Guard is providing security at the Ferguson Police Department, which will allow additional law enforcement officers to protect the public," Nixon's office said.
But it's unclear how long standoffs might continue between protesters and police.
"People here have a real grudge against the police," Whitlock said. "It's not going away."
Protesters turn out nationwide
It wasn't just that way in Ferguson.
Twelve miles south in St. Louis, Police Chief Sam Dotson said windows of businesses located across the street from a protest gathering spot were smashed and 21 people were arrested on felony accusations, including illicit gun possession. But no one was shot.
"What we saw last night is the criminals were using the cover of the organized protests to do their criminal activity," Dotson said.
News about the grand jury's decision not to indict Wilson also spread quickly nationwide, spurring others to turn out for spontaneous rallies in support of Brown's family against what they characterized as unnecessary force by some police officers against citizens, especially African-Americans.
Some laid down on the street outside the White House in protest. In New York's Union Square, scores held up a huge, lit-up sign that read, "Black lives matter." More protesters took their message to the streets of Seattle, Washington, and Oakland, California.
Others will get their chance to express their views at more than 120 pro-Brown family vigils and gatherings in cities big and small — from Los Angeles to Bangor, Maine — organized nationwide, including some scheduled for Tuesday.
There is the chance that, in Ferguson or any of those places, violence could again flare between protesters and police.
Weighing in during a live address Monday night, President Barack Obama called it "understandable" that some Americans will agree and others will be made angry by the decision to not indict Wilson. Whatever their take, he said, lashing out is not an acceptable reaction.
"First and foremost, we are a nation built on the rule of law, so we need to accept this decision was the grand jury's to make," Obama said.
'Exhaustive review'
All of this unrest, all of this tension dates to August 9, when Brown and a friend were walking down the middle of a Ferguson street.
What happened next — from the shooting, to the failure to immediately charge Wilson in Brown's death, to at-times violent clashes between authorities and Brown family supporters — turned Ferguson from a largely unknown St. Louis suburb to the center of a national debate over race, law enforcement and the interaction of the two.
The basic facts have never been disputed. Brown, who was black, was unarmed. Wilson, who is white, shot him.
But how and why that exactly happened is hotly disputed. And grand jury testimony released late Monday offered little resolution, with Wilson's version of events contradicting those offered by some witnesses.
The St. Louis County grand jury of nine white and three black members got a lot of information — meeting 25 times, during which they heard from 60 witnesses and three medical examiners in 70 hours of testimony.
The grand jurors' mission was never to convict Wilson. Rather, it was to decide whether there was reason enough to charge him with a crime — either first-degree murder, second-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter. They also could have added a charge of armed criminal action. If at least nine of the 12 grand jurors had voted that there was enough to proceed with charges, Wilson would have stood trial.
After hearing all of the testimony and deliberating for two days, they decided not to indict the officer on any charge.
Said St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch: "The physical and scientific evidence examined by the grand jury, combined with the witness statements, supported and substantiated by that physical evidence, tells the accurate and tragic story of what happened."
Brown family: 'Let's make a difference'
The decision was welcomed by Wilson, who — in a statement issued by his attorneys — expressed thanks to those who have "stood by his side."
"Law enforcement personnel must frequently make split-second and difficult decisions," the Wilson camp's statement said. "Officer Wilson followed his training and followed the law."
Contrast the Ferguson police officer's relief with the Brown family's feelings.
The decision not to indict Wilson "devastated" the late teenager's father. His mother ran down the street, tears streaming down her face.
They still want something positive to come from their nightmare. But in a statement, the family stressed that one thing it did not want is violence.
"While we understand that many others share our pain, we ask that you channel your frustration in ways that will make a positive change," the family said. "We need to work together to fix the system that allowed this to happen."
The family made a call for police officers across the country to wear body cameras.
"Let's not just make noise," the family said, "let's make a difference."
Federal investigations
So what happens next?
The U.S. Justice Department is conducting two civil rights investigations in the case: one into whether Wilson violated Brown's civil rights, and another into the police department's overall track record with minorities.
The investigations will likely require lots of time, if similar past cases are any indication.
Back in Ferguson, residents worried about the toll Monday night's violence has taken on the quaint revitalized downtown.
One of the casualties was Ferguson Optical. Earlier in the day, manager Tim Marrah had put out the sign he has been displaying since August: "We are family."
It was no protection against vandals. A storefront window was shattered and left barely standing.
Peaceful protesters were shocked by the violence that has marred the city.
"This is crazy. I mean, this doesn't do anything," one resident told CNN.
She worried about how victims would pick up the pieces.
"They're not going to rebuild. It's just going to be a ghost town pretty soon."

Ahh, Audi. Now that I've exhaled, I can proceed. Upon meeting the diesel version of the Audi A6 TDI (MSRP $58,395),
I became fully acquainted with the allure of the almighty German ride. The vehicle felt, dare I say, "expensive" and was undeniably handsome with its sleek sport-sedan look (which complements me perfectly); but looks aside, this machine can go. With a 240-hp turbo diesel engine and an eight-speed automatic, the hype was confirmed, and I went 0 to 60 in about 5 seconds. Combine the clean acceleration with the car's braggadocio EPA rating of 24/38 city/highway mpg, and you understand the desire to rule the road in this ride. Now, if you're fan of luxury overload, the modern interior may not strike your fancy as a whole, but offerings like front and rear parking sensors, a top and rearview camera, blind-spot monitors, a night-vision system and an 8-inch color monitor may help to sway you. No? Well, get into the Google Earth maps application, in-car wireless Internet access and the innovative system that lets you trace out letters with your finger and that should do it. Deep breaths…now go! —Satchel B. Jester

Our team was down by 15 points with three and a half minutes left to go, in the game against our arch rival, Ridgefield. The team came back and forced overtime and ended up winning by 6. This picture is from the end of overtime as our star player, senior, Elijah Everett, dunked in front of our student section as over 250 kids stormed the court. Over 150 of the students were wearing Wilton Warriors shirts that we made using customink. So far we have sold 215 of them and we hope to place another order. All of the profits from the shirt sales, which is nearly 1,200 dollars to date, are going directly to the St. Baldrick's Foundation which helps raise money for children's cancer research." - http://www.brentswarriors.org - boepple (Feb 05, 2008) Share this photo on: Twitter Facebook Pinterest Similar Photos: gildan ultra cotton | white | charity | basketball game | k-12 athletics | wilton warriors | st baldricks foundation | children's cancer research Feeling inspired?

September 2014 warmest on record, says NasaBy Frances Mangosing
September of 2014 was the warmest on record for planet Earth since 1880.
September of 2014 was the warmest on record for planet Earth since 1880.
Anews item recently got my attention. Apparently, in a study of the deadly effects of hurricanes (or typhoons), a group of researchers observed that, in the United States at least, there were more fatalities and more destruction wrought when the hurricane/typhoon had been christened with a female name.
The Philippine embassy in the United States has called on Filipino-Americans to lend a helping hand to victims of Typhoon "Pablo" in Mindanao even as it thanked the US government for providing an additional $3 million in humanitarian assistance.
Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz has ordered the regional offices of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (Owwa) to help locate families of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) coming from areas hit by Typhoon "Pablo" in the Visayas and Mindanao.
Desperate and starving residents on Tuesday clambered onto trucks distributing food and used clothing as local and international groups continued to deliver much-needed relief goods to villages hit by Typhoon "Pablo" last week.

7 Responses to "John Alton: Cinematography's Outlier, Part One"
Thanks for this essay, John. And I absolutely love the photograph, of you with Mr. Cortez and Mr. Alton! It reminds of the great privilege I've had in being associated with the ASC. I'm looking forward to Part 2. — DH
Nice article John! Very interesting behind the scenes of the ASC stuff and yet most honorable! Thank you!
Thanks for a great story about someone behind the camera. We seem to have more info on those in front of the camera, but very few about those that bring the stories to life such as the crews that performed the camera work, the lighting and the sound. The list could include the editors and so many others, but you are certainly on my list for the stories that give us some feel for those behind the camera. I shall add "Painting With Light", to my library.
Regards, Chuck Abbott
Excellent article on one of the greats. I was just watching new Bluray of Big Combo the other night, beautiful photography.
Another wonderful article, John. Of course, I have a copy of Painting With Light in my library. Now I need to buy the new release with your forward!
Great blog and thanks for your (obviously) fruitful Alton research. Looks like another edition of Painting with Light will have to join my much-read, much-battered copy on my groaning film book shelves…
A wonderful article. I loved the story about the 1995 dinner – great stuff!
His work on "The Big Combo" is amazing, but I am always in awe of his amazing lighting on "Border Incident" in 1949. Talk about the "prince of darkness!"
I have always thought that if anyone were to write an article or a book about a cinematographer as auteur, you would have to use Alton as your reference point.

Fun for kids in Tulsa, this weekend.
A family wedding will take us to Tulsa this weekend. Flight schedules imposed a Friday arrival for a Saturday evening function, so we will have much of the day Saturday with two little kids in a town we've never visited before. Saturday morning we are on our own, we'll be meeting up with cousins in the afternoon. Zoo? Aquarium? Good parks/play grounds would be good too. Kid-friendly restaurants? Lay it on me.
Help me maximize a last-minute trip to Disneyland.
We're going to Disneyland tomorrow. We haven't done any advance planning. I don't have a lot of time today to devote to research, either, so I thought I'd ask if anyone can brain-dump a quick-and-dirty way to shave some time off the inevitable waiting. More detail and explicit instructions are better. [more inside]
Recommendations for kid-friendly quick stops from Boston to DC area
Any recommendations for quick stops from Boston to DC area with a four year old? [more inside]
Slumber party advice
My daughter is having a slumber party for her birthday. I'm used to (and comfortable with) normal birthday parties: planning lots of fun activities, yummy things to eat and keeping order with bouncing children for a few hours, but I'm worried about having a half dozen 7 & 8 year olds sleeping here. Those of you have done it -- what's your advice? Anything that would help this go well? [more inside]
Seeking ideas and recipes to use in an after-school cooking club
What things can I cook with children in an after-school club setting? Difficulty: no actual cooking possible. [more inside]
Should we make our wedding kid-friendly? If so, how?
Most of our friends have kids under age five. We're considering whether and how to make our wedding a kid-friendly event. Have you seen this done? Have you tried it? As a parent, what would help? Or do you just want a night out? Would anything make you more likely to stay overnight for more fun the next day? [more inside]
A Tumblr blog for sharing kindergarten photos with parents
I would like to post photos for parents from our kindergarten class. I'm thinking of doing it on a password-protected Tumblr site. From what little I can find, it sounds do-able, but...? [more inside]

Places to go camping with a 5- and 7-year-old near New Orleans?
My SO's kids are becoming a bigger part of my life, and she and I would like to start taking them on camping trips as a way to have fun, bond, introduce them to the outdoors, and find some precious peace and quiet out away from the roar of the city. We live in New Orleans, Louisiana; what are some good places to take them for weekend camping adventures? [more inside]
Death, Dying and processing things as a five year old.
Help me talk to my five year old child about death age appropriately. We've talked about Fred Rogers. We've talked his feelings. We've talked about what he knows about it. He's concerned because his great-aunt died about a month ago, and now he wants to make sure we'll always be there. The problem is, in very short time his grandfather, my dad, won't. [more inside]
No Kids? How did you fill that kid shaped hole?
The missus and I are working through the decision to procreate or not. She's not so interested, I kinda am. I'm looking for insight and experience from people who chose not to have children, but still care about and like to spend time with kids. Details inside. [more inside]

Keeping a kid entertained during grown-up dinners?
In the next few weeks, I will need to attend a series of late-running formal dinners... with a five-year-old in tow. Please recommend your most magical, engrossing, dinner-table-friendly activity books, games, small toys, etc. for the early school-aged set, so we can keep her quietly in her seat and out of everyone's hair. [more inside]
Broadway for kids

Good town to visit in Spain in the summer with young kids?
What's a good town or smallish city in Spain to visit in the summer with kids (ages 2 and 5) in tow? We're looking at 3 weeks in late July/August, and would prefer a walkable place that's on a train line (or are they all?) so we wouldn't have to rent a car to explore locally or beyond. [more inside]
Help me find something as good as Zita the Spacegirl for my kids?
I have been reading Zita the Spacegirl to my kids (7 & 5, boy and girl) very night. For those who haven't read it, it is a terrific graphic novel for kids full of adventure and strange creatures, with a great message. What else would you reccomend, as we approach the end of this great series? Specifically thinking of a modern, adventure-filled (but not overly mature) graphic novel or series. Science fiction or fantasy would be ideal.
Library books (and e-books) vs. physical copies of books for children
What are the pros and cons of buying physical books vs. relying primarily on library books from the point of view of exposing one's future children to a wide variety of books? [more inside]
Stockholm with little kids
We will be spending four days in Stockholm in the middle of June, with two boys, three and six years old. We've got the standard order guidebook suggestions (Vasa Museum, Skansen, etc.) of things to do, but I'd really love some suggestions of fun things for kids, or even just playgrounds for them to run around when they have had enough of Vikings and whatnot. They tend to be very excited about all modes of transportation, so trams, ferries, etc are a bonus. We will be staying near Ostermalm.
Books for tweens set in New York City
Some friends are coming to visit NYC and I'd like to get their kids some fiction set in the city. [more inside]
Children or no children
I want kids, but my husband doesn't know if he ever will. [more inside]
The mail must go through!
Do you know of any children's books featuring mail? As in, a penpal or mailing letters. Specifically for an eight year old girl but I'm open to all suggestions! [more inside]
Do I marry/have kids with longterm love if I'm not ready due to career?
I love my partner - we have known each other for over a decade and have been together for over five years. I am in my 30s and he wants to live together/get married and/or start a family. I have insisted we wait due to my graduate school (and later) career struggles. Now we are older and our time frame for children (if not settling down with children in mind later) is diminishing. I don't know the right thing to do - specifics inside... [more inside]
Seeing inspirational and mind-blowing videos for kids
What can I show children to inspire and wow them? I teach children aged between 9 and 11. I'm looking for video clips (or other) to show the children that will blow their minds - or at least, prompt discussion, broaden their horizons and take them outside of the confines of the four walls of the classroom. [more inside]
My soon-to-be 3-year-old daughter is pretty timid, physically. It's nothing crippling or even worrisome, but still…c'mon kid, geez, just jump! You'll be fine! [more inside]
How to address a touchy-feely friend?
We have a close family friend who seems to have a problem keeping his hands to himself around my 8-year-old. We've spoken to him about it generally, but he doesn't seem to understand what we consider to be inappropriate. [more inside]
That Obscure Object of Desire, you know, for kids.
What is the best special toy or activity to keep at my house to occupy or entertain my friends' little kids when they visit? [more inside]
Toys of color
So this post and all of its links sent me on a huge links chain, and I'm disturbed that I never really thought about it that much. Except it's highly likely that my future kid is going to need this consideration and now I feel overwhelmed. [more inside]
Help clueless future parents buy the right home to raise kids in!
As future parents and first time homebuyers, what aren't we thinking about, or under-emphasizing/over-emphasizing, in trying to pick a home to raise (two) kids in? What should we consider in deciding on house versus condo, location, neighborhood, size, layout, features, etc? [more inside]
Babies EVERYWHERE
How do you keep track of your friend's babies/children? I'm looking for some kind of system to remind me of names, ages, and birthdates for the small humans that my large human friends have brought into the world. [more inside]
What do you tell a kid who has been caught "playing doctor"?
What should we say to our daughter about appropriate play and touch after learning she was playing doctor with one of her little friends the other day? [more inside]
Zap! Pow! Wizards grow up!
So I've been reading Harry Potter to the kiddo (7) at nighttime for a while and she's loving it. I'm enjoying it too to the point where I don't really want spoilers on anything. However as things get darker I have some concerns about the stories ahead... [more inside]

There's Only So Much Wisdom I Can Impart In Between Their Fart Jokes!
I'd like to convey as much wisdom/advice as possible to my kids before they become feral teenagers drenched in Axe and scorn. Please share the best lists/essays/articles you've ever seen on the theme of "Teaching Your Kids About ______". [more inside]
Roman Holiday (kid friendly version)
Next week, my 10 year old daughter and I will be in Rome for 3 days; what should we see? [more inside]
Children's books that include children of color?
I'm looking for board books that do not just portray white children. Books appropriate for ages 1-4 would be fine, but I'm buying for a 2-year-old so a bit on the simpler side is better. Thank you!
Best places to shop for books for kids (age 1-4) in Chicago?
Please recommend your favorite stores for books for kids in Chicago. I am interested in finding used books, quirky books, and progressive books. Not necessarily all three and not necessarily in that order. Toddler Xalf is almost 1.5 years old, but I'm happy to buy books that will be over his head for the next few of years. Any part of Chicago is fine. Suburbs too, especially those to the north.
Just don't let him eat marshmallows all day
I need recommendations on articles and books on kindergarten/elementary school education and how it affects someone's later success. My friend is worried that her son's kindergarten program isn't high quality enough. I'm of the opinion that home life is more important at this age, but maybe I'm wrong! Where should I start reading? [more inside]
Looking for music featuring children sing. Tiny voices - Huge perfomance
Do you know any albums or artists that heavily feature very young voices done in a serious matter? Something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dok4wJ4pqo0 [more inside]
How do you teach values (I'm not talking about religion here) to kids?
Parents: I'm wondering how your kids learned things like empathy, honesty, compassion, etc. I know that setting a good example is probably the #1 thing to do, and I plan to, but did you use other ways, like reading (fiction) kids' books with them that demonstrate these things? Am I overthinking this? I want to raise a kid with a conscience...
Conversations with kids?
I'm an uncle to three great kids, who are 12, 9 and 4. I love talking to them and listening to what they have to say about whatever they want to talk about. Our conversations end up being pretty fun and freewheeling, but sometimes I wonder if I should be putting more effort into what we talk about. Am I over-thinking this? More inside. [more inside]
Getting-to-know-you Games
Please suggest some icebreaker games I can play with 5-7 yo kids. Restrictions: Groups of 4-5 kids, games must be quick (less than 5 minutes) and require little or no materials. [more inside]
Depictions of Children's Street Culture in Fiction and Nonfiction
Please recommend fiction and nonfiction novels which depict folklore and mythology created by children who are free of adult supervision and authority. [more inside]
Eeew, that's disgusting. Elementary school lunchtime social resilience.
How can I help my son to not feel embarrassed socially for having the healthy (and admittedly a little weird) lunches that I give him for school? [more inside]
Natural Gas Smell
I did something colossally stupid this evening: Put up some pasta on the stove and then fell promptly asleep for a little while on the couch. Woke up to a terrible smell of natural gas. Found the water in the pot had spilled over and doused the flame of the burner it was cooking on. With the gas on high. It was probably like that for about 10 minutes or so. And now, four hours later, the house still has a strong-ish odor. Here is my question: does the smell indicate that gas is still present in the house, and if so, should I be concerned for the health and safety of my small children, who are sleeping a hallway away from the kitchen? [more inside]
Surreptitious assessment of smart 11-year-old?
I occasionally hang out with a smart 11-year-old girl, am a friend of the family. She's ahead of her peers in reading and math, starts 6th grade in the fall, but is not especially challenged by her public school. A few years ago in a different school district, they offered to skip her a grade (this option was not chosen). [more inside]
Books for kids about divorce
My friend is getting a divorce, and doesn't know how to talk to her two young daughters (3 and 4) about it. Are there any books that have helped others in a similar situation? [more inside]
A children's book about gender change
The book I'm looking for is one I remember reading in my childhood. It had a boy as a protagonist. It was similar to The Wizard of Oz in that the boy was travelling with friends through a magical realm to free it from some kind of oppressive rule. And when the boy arrived to the happy ending (which I think took place in the royal palace) it was revealed that actually he's not a boy - he's a girl. A princess, to be exact. And a rightful ruler of the realm. Which came as quite a shock to him/her. I must have been less than 10 years old when I read it, which places the book in the 1970s. Did I imagine it or does it really exist? (it is possible that I mixed it up with The Wizard of Oz, although I think I've read it later).
Kid friendly grown up movies/TV?
My 10 and 8 year old daughters adored The Nr. 1 Ladies Detective Agency (the TV series). What other made-for-adults movies or TV could we watch together? [more inside]
What are some creative gifts for kids?
I end up in these situations where I need to buy a gift for a kid in the extended family, but the idea of just buying regular toys always seems lame. I like being a creative gift-giver. Can you give me some ideas for unique gifts for kids that would go over well? [more inside]
