Dr Nanette Bowles "Diabetes? What you Need to Know"
Years ago I was at an evening social function when a woman came in with her two young grandchildren. She sat at the table with her plate of food but seemed dazed. She fumbled around trying to cut her food and acted as though she could not see in front of her. I went over to assist and found out that she was diabetic and had not eaten all day! Her grandchildren sat and watched in fear as we quickly got her to drink some orange juice. She explained that she "just didn't have time to eat". Click here for the full article.
Sydney Paige McCutcheon "My Story"
Well, I can't answer those. All I can say is that life hands us lemons and anvils, and even heavier objects that squash us like a bug without the hope of having wings or being roach because supposedly those things can handle anything. So, what are we do to with these lemons, and artillery? The world says make lemonade; I say take the lemons and knock out the person about to drop the anvil.

Dr Peggy Marshall "A Passionate Life"
"Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm."— Ralph Waldo Emerson
It's February-a month associated with love and passion. I want to focus this month's blog on doing what we love. I have worked with clients who are extremely successful, yet are not doing what they love. This seems counterintuitive because most of us believe that if someone is successful that person must love what they do. This is not always the case. Tama Kieves in "This Time I Dance" talks about her own evolution into doing what she loves. She was a very successful lawyer yet found herself lamenting to a friend that she wasn't sure she LOVED being a lawyer. Her friend asked "If you are this successful doing work you don't love doing, then what could you do with work you love doing?" I think this is a great question for all of us as we connect the word love with work Click here for the full article.
Dr. Bret Wilson "The Godfather of Fitness"
We lost a pioneer recently, a man who has had a positive influence on our health and the health of the world. Perhaps the younger of us may only recognize him as the star of an infomercial selling juicers. Jack LaLanne's television show implored and entertained housewives to exercise and become healthier. He is credited with bringing the concept of fitness and exercise to the masses. He opened a national chain of health clubs. He was a chiropractor that taught millions how to heal themselves with diet and exercise Click here for the full article.
Becky Campos "A Day Of Simple Health"
Ten years ago this month I would have never used the word simple to describe my health.
My personal health was anything but simple. In fact it was exactly the opposite. My health was complicated, confusing, sad and certainly painful but it was not simple. Then through a series of events I came across some life changing, life saving information that unimaginable to me would lead me to reclaim my health. I spent two years mastering twelve laws of health that made all the difference in reclaiming my health and preventing further disease. I must say they were the two most intense years of my life as I spent countless of hours studying the subject of health and wellness and diligently applying every bit of information I was learning. Today I enjoy simple health. Gone are the days that I did not know what macro nutrients and micro nutrients are or how much protein I should consume or how to balance my hormones naturally. I am no longer at the mercy of conflicting health studies that only increase skepticism. Nor am I sick and desperate making me vulnerable to the pharmaceutical commercials promising relief of one symptom in exchange for an unbelievable twenty other drug induced symptoms. Instead I became a critical health thinker and am completely in charge of my own health care. I make the decisions on what I should do or not do concerning my health and I have never looked back.

Hey Woodrow French, you never asked me if I wanted to take a bus from seal-cove to the mall. You clearly have no idea how far it is to get back and fourth to work and school in town once you blow a head gasket. Then again, that's why I don't vote for you. You're so out of touch with how people get around. This is clearly evident with the countless cul-de-sacs that could have been used to connect roads over the last few years. As for the metrobus, I hesitate to call it a service. A necessary inconvenience is closer to the truth. And with taxi fares as outrageous as they are, it's a wonder we don't have more impaired driving convictions.

Well than Mr. French, if people aren't going to ride metrobus, why doesn't your booming town start their own service that will commute people in the town to let's say, the village mall, or downtown or anywhere else on non-stop express routes. This is a great article about the very poor public transit and lack of regional cooperation.

The thing this proves is that St.John's had slow growth,but the towns outside had combined significant growth.So if the traffic is heavier now in St.John's,where is it coming from?Ofcourse,from outside the city.And who pays for the roads that these people from outside use? The taxpayers of St.John's with their municipal taxes. Time to toll the roads leading into the city.

Low density is a term in urban planning, which usually refers to the standard suburban lot. Housing in CBS is almost entirely of this nature, ie, there are very few apartment buildings, condos, etc. Density refers to people per square kilometre. Even though there are tons of houses everywhere, no one lives in a five story building, for example. Take Elizabeth Avenue in St. John's as a contrast - in the west end of it, you have Summerville Plaza, on the other side of the road, you have some NL Housing, further down you have single family dwellings on standard suburban lots, then you have churchill square - lots of apartments and condos, then more single family homes, then Elizabeth Towers. So you have a mix of housing types. That's what a transit corridor would look like - more multi-story buildings, interspersed with retail and office, etc.

When is St. John's going to start building up? And I mean upward with well-built condominiums of no less than 10 stories. Condos with solid,concrete construction that provide quiet and high-quality enjoyment of one's home. It would provide much-needed starter homes for all those young people in well-paying jobs who can't possibly afford the upward of $350,000 for their first home. And an alternative to older people who wish to downsize from full-sized houses that require so much upkeep and maintenance. There must be a huge pent-up demand for good , modern condos , not like some of those stodgy ones that I've seen. And this intensification and the subsequent condo communities that would be created would go far in eliminating much of the congestion on roads around St. John's.

You must be new to the area, or have lived under a rock. It's well known that St. John's has a height phobia and we are extremely afraid of change.
- Calvin
- October 16, 2012 - 07:44
Bottom line around St. John's is that people are not going to use Metrobus to get around when it takes at least 5 times longer to travel to and from your destination by bus than by car. In larger metro regions on the mainland, people use public transportation because it is actually faster than travelling by car. It takes me 5 minutes to drive to work every morning. If I were to take the bus, it would take me a little over an hour, and I would be late for work. With the economy booming and more and more families able to afford to have their own cars, public transportation in St. John's is not getting used. I think people who work downtown, Kenmount Road/Pippy Place, and other busy commercial areas in the city should use the bus system, it would cut down on traffic, pollution, accidents, etc. but I doubt it will happen any time soon.
- Sean
- October 16, 2012 - 07:41
You are never going to get people in CBS and Paradise riding the bus in large enough numbers to warrant establishing the service until 2 things happen: 1) stop building roads like the CBS bypass. By building this road, we are subsidizing low density suburban living in distant suburbs for people that have to drive to town every day for work. These are the people who are clogging the roads every day. Without the road, there would be a disincentive to live that far out, and people would have an incentive to live in St. John's. Eventually this would create a market for denser housing forms within the city. Car trips would then be shorter to and from work, some people would be able to walk to work and others might be able to take public transit - like a real city. 2) the other thing that would need to happen is transit corridors have to be idenitified. One might be Topsail Road, where high density housing mixed with commercial and office uses are approved through municipal planning in all municipalities that the street runs through, all the way out through CBS. The bus would then have a ready made ridership from the denser population, and because of the mixed uses, those residents would be able to live near where they work and shop, and might be able to get along without a car. Then they would ride the bus. These are long term solutions, but would work.

By the looks of the red patches our favorite downtown panhandlers are waring it is likely we have an issue with Quebec youth/bums moving to our town for the summer. Vagrancy laws do need to be toughened up and this type of activity eliminated. It has nothing to do with income disparity. These kids can get a job in any shop they stand in front of to beg for change if they would wash up and show up.

The TV ads are effective, gorgeous, and inspriring to watch ..... they get people to come here.....once. The fact is that the ads are very deceptive, and they over-promise on what an average tourist with typical time and financial constraints can or will find when they get here. After more than a decade of uber-promotion, there remains far too little "product" here for tourists. They come, they see, they leave.....tick the box...been there, done that. Promotion has done 98% of what it could possibly ever achieve for this place....time to stop pouring the foundation and start building the house. Well, if it's not already far too late.....

NL hospitality and service industry are in desperate need of training to compete successfully for the prize of the travelers $. Our government Ad / promotion is outstanding but sadly our product delivery is not. The Ad campaign will get them here once but investment in education is required to get them back. We've got he charm, not lets learn how to use it.

@THE AKADEMIKLOFFE Sorry to hear about that disruption to your vacation. However, vagrancy and panhandlers are not a problem to be solved with legislation and policing. Rather, they are symptoms of poverty and economic disparity (not to mention our abysmal mental health system and our colonial heritage) and must therefore be addressed through social policy and wealth redistribution. Enjoy your cruise.

@the akademikloffe... yeah, one would expect for all the money brought in by the tourism industry that there wouldn't be so much inequality and poverty, but what is it that Adorno said: "The culture industry perpetually cheats its consumers of what it perpetually promises."
- Jon Parsons
- July 11, 2012 - 11:41
Just curious, but don't op-ed pieces usually include the name of the author? Also, a fun fact: the govt of NL in 2007 spent $11 million on its tourism campaign and estimated (or well, Tom Hedderson suggested) that the economy benefited to the tune of $850 million. (http://www.targetmarketing.ca/assets/Know_thyself_Progress_October_2007.pdf) Recent reports have also indicated that last year more tourists visited the province than our total population. This illustrates just how important tourism is to our province; however, the anxiety expressed in the op-ed shows just how fragile this industry is.
- The Akademikloffe
- July 11, 2012 - 09:42
I wish to raise as tourism matter at a local outlet and this seems the most convenient. We disembarked the Akademikloffe this morning and immediately proceeded to get coffee only to be met by a panhandler (literally, my wife joked as he was pandering with a steel kitchen bowl). We continued to a recommended breakfast spot and bakery where we encountered a more aggressive panhandler. You have a lovely city, but you need vagrancy and panhandling laws. Your tourism literature can boast about scenic beauty but the social experience this morning was far from admirable. It is the experience tourists take away, not your advertisements.

I have been a successful Landscape Designer (not LA) in Houston for the past six years. I currently work primarily in the residential arena providing contract services for local full service landscape companies. I charge a flat fee for landscape designs direct to the client and an hourly fee+ mileage for estimating, site visits, troubleshooting, availability research, etc. to the landscape company I contract with. I sold over $100,000 in landscape installations for one client last year alone.
Does anyone know what an appropriate hourly rate would be for someone with my skill set? I am re-evaluating what direction to go in and how I can best capitalize on my career. |
Follow-Up Postings:
This is the type of question that will vary enormously from region to region....indeed, even from city to city. |
^^^ as rhizo said, this is totally region dependent. I went full time after getting laid off in '08 so I couldn't even really go by what was standard for the area because those folks weren't working either. So, I used a freelance rate calculator (see the link below) to set my floor. Honestly, I should probably go back and redo it now that I've been in business for four years and have a better idea of my billable/non-billable split (hint: it's never as good as you hope). Doing it this way, you may be above or below the market rate but at least you know you're covering your costs. If that prices you too high you know you need to reconsider some things, because your biz better cover costs. If you're low, you can start bumping your rates up. I've bumped my rates up by $30/hr since I started and realistically - given how efficient I've become - I need to bump again. |

The Perfect Update To Traditional Fish Stew
An easy update to a traditional fish stew from the south of France brings refinement without losing any of its garlicky kick
By Daniel Boulud
Many people are familiar with bouillabaisse, the classic French fish stew. The Provençal version of the dish is called bourride. It is served along the coast from Saint-Raphaël to Nice, and though it may be less well known, it is just as delicious. It is a workingman's dish: In the old days, a husband would come home in late morning with his catch, which his wife would transform into a delicious lunch with the addition of a few potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and leeks.
The key to a bourride is aioli, a garlicky mayonnaise that is added to the fish broth, lending it a creamy texture. In France, this dish is often made with monkfish, but I like to substitute sea bass, since that is easier to find in the United States, and I use the bones, which are the secret to creating a rich fish broth. Garlic is the top note, but I add a pinch of Espelette pepper to give it a little kick.
I always serve bourride in springtime, when the first garlic shows up in the market. I love to pair it with toasted bread or rice. When I want to feel truly transported, I'll have it with a glass of rosé for lunch and then go play a game of pétanque. That's when I really feel like I'm in Provence!
"A classic Provençal dish calls for a classic Provençal wine," says Daniel Johnnes, wine director of Daniel Boulud's restaurants. "The fruit and floral aromas of Château de Pibarnon Bandol Rosé 2013 [$26] inevitably transport me to the Côte d'Azur." As an alternative, he suggests Château Riotor Côtes de Provence ($20), "a rosé with the exuberant aroma of crushed fruit and a refreshing berry palate."

London's 'The Guardian': A Chief Justice Confirmed
Here are some excerpts from a news story in London's The Guardian newspaper:
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 -- The Senate has confirmed [the] President['s] arch-conservative nominee as ... Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, after the most fiercely disputed confirmation hearings this century.Critics, who included Senator Edward Kennedy ... were unrepentant and said he would prove 'too extreme' for the country's good.
During the three-month debate, on his appointment, old memos surfaced about his attitudes towards civil rights, women's rights and the rights of Americans as a whole in relation to the state.
Personal ethics as well as candour became an issue. Suggestions were made that he failed to debar himself from sitting on at least one ... case involving ... suspected subversives .... The distinction between the judiciary and the executive and their respective powers goes to the heart of the American constitutional settlement the court is empowered to uphold.
But wait -- isn't the vote scheduled for Sept. 22?
Yes, it is.
To clarify: This story appeared in the Guardian of Sept. 19, 1986, and the Chief in question was one William Rehnquist, who had just been elevated from associate justice by a 65-33 vote.
But the parallels are uncanny, no?
After Rehnquist was confirmed, Reagan issued this statement: "It is clear to all now that the extraordinary controversy surrounding the hearings had little to do with Justice Rehnquist's record or character -- both are unassailable and unimpeachable. The attack came from those whose ideology runs contrary to his profound and unshakable belief in the proper constitutional role of the judiciary in this country."
Voting for Roberts's confirmation could help the Democrats avoid getting smacked with a similar statement from Bush. It will be fascinating to see what they do when the full Senate votes. Will history repeat itself?

What a great personality to run your place. Security was not great as I found the front door wide open two nights when I walked past to get to the loo. Two reminders might help: 1. Turn off lights when last to leave rooms; 2. Front door to be locked at any time after 10 pm. Single room off lounge could do with some hanging space. Great! "

Product Review
We find Allersearch's ADMS anti-allergen spray works really well when sprayed directly on furniture, upholstery, draperies, carpet (low Pile) and other like items. We use it at home on the hard to remove and wash stuff like the dust ruffle on the bed.
Simply lightly mist the area being treated until damp. Do Not Saturate, If it is still damp after about 15 minutes you used too much.
When using it on smooth surfaces such as leather, wood or plastic it is best to spray on a cloth and then wipe down the item.
Many people like to spray their mattress and pillows with the ADMS anti-allergen spray which is fine. Just make sure they are dry before putting the sheets and pillow cases on.
Also, the ADMS spray works great in the car. I use it on the seats, carpeting and even spray a little in the ac vents.
The directions say to apply the anti-allergen spray, let it dry and then vacuum. We feel it is best to first vacuum the item and then treat it. No sense in spraying dirt or dust.
ADMS anti-allergen spray is safe to use on any water-soluble fabric including white and other light colors. If your not sure, test it on a small piece of fabric.
Each treatment will last about 30 days. Keep the unused portion somewhere cool and dry. As with all chemicals, please keep this anti-allergen spray away from children.
Allersearch also makes a product called ADS Anti-allergen spray. It was their original formula and while it costs a bit more each treatment lasts 90 days. It is tannic acid based so it may discolor white fabrics. You can find additional information on Allersearch ADS Spray here.
Allersearch Labs created ADMS anti-allergen spray to neutralize household allergens safety without the use of tannic acid or benzyl benzoate.
ADMS anti-allergen spray uses non-toxic natural ingredients to neutralize the allergens from dust mites, pet dander, mold, mildew and pollen and renders them non-allergic.

How to get whiter skin – that is the quest for you and numerous other people around the globe who are suffering from age spots or dark patches.
So much of one's self-esteem is wrapped up in the look of one's skin that I can see why people use risky skin lightening creams and bleaches to get the complexion they want.
However – there is no need to take unnecessary risks. Dermology skin whitening cream is your safe and effective, herbal-based answer for a beautiful, glowing complexion!
How To Get Whiter Skin – Why Dermology?
Even with the best diet in the world; even with the use of sunscreen – you skin is still susceptible to the elements, namely the sun. Over exposure to the sun is a big contributing factor to the development of dark areas on the skin (ie – hyperpigmentation).
And it is not only the sun that may cause dark blotches and other cases of uneven skin tone.
Your skin also takes a battering from your own body. Physical and hormonal changes within your body can bring about uneven skin tone.
Dermology is considered a safe, plant-based skin brightener that you can use to even out skin tone. The question of how safe it is to use a skin care product cannot be glossed over.
There are ingredients used in some skin whiteners that come with risks that you must consider. Take for example – the ingredients hydroquinone and mercury.
Though hydroquione is considered an effective skin bleaching agent, it has been linked to skin irritation and cancer! As a cosmetic ingredient, this substance is actually banned in Europe.
And the dangers of mercury need no introduction. When mercury is applied to the skin, it could cause discoloration, rashes scarring and inhibit the skin's ability to health itself.
Not to mention that mercury that has been linked to problems of the brain, kidneys and nervous system.
By the way, in the States, the FDA only allows trace amounts of mercury in cosmetics. But in other regions of the world, the use of mercury in cosmetic isn't allowed.
However, through clandestine imports, some skin brighteners that contain more than the FDA allowed amounts of mercury (mercury is sometimes called calomel, mercuric, mercurio, mercur and mercurous) are sold.
So No Harmful Ingredients..What Does Dermology Contain…
This cream does not just given you even, fairer skin tone. It also promotes soft and supple skin with the natural emollients, moisturizers and skin-nourishing vitamins it contains.
Take a look at the natural ingredients…
Arbutin: This ingredient is derived from the bearberry plant (and is actually a hydroquinone derivative without the dangers of the latter).
It has been used since mid 20th century to help reduce the age spots, dark patches, freckles and other imbalances in skin tone.
Arbutin goes to work by reducing the melanin levels in our skin. It is very effective because it works only on the upper and outer layers of the skin.
And added benefit of arbutin is that it helps to protect the skin from free radical damage and hence fights wrinkles.
Allantoin: A botanical extract of the comfrey plant, Allantoin is a non-toxic moisturizer that helps to soothe skin and ease inflammation. It has been proven scientifically to promote skin growth and repair damaged skin.
Evening Primrose Oil: Good for relieving dry skin.
Grapefruit Seed Extract: A potent antioxidant that not only fights aging but creates an invisible film on your skin, to lock moisture in. It is also good for repairing the skin around the eyes.
It also contains Vitamin E.
Lumiskin: Also known as Diacetyl Boldine, Lumiskin inhibits the tryosinase enzyme and hence inhibits melanin production. The end result is lighter complexion and more even skin tone.
Shea Butter: It contains several natural anti-inflammatory agents and is a minor sunscreen. Shea butter contains vitamins, and other valuable phyto-nutrients that give it many healing properties.
Blemishes, eczema, itching and skin allergies etc. are just a few of the issues that shea butter helps alleviate.
Vitamins A, C and E: Vitamin A is very important to healthy skin. It fights dry and scaly skin, rebuilds skin tissue and fights aging.
The antioxidant Vitamin C fights aging and stimulates collagen grow. Vitamin C is also a tyronsinase inhibitor and hence fights hyperpigmentation.
Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant. Scientific studies has shown that it reverses the the signs of aging on the skin and helps to prevent the appearance of dark spots.
Good News For Domestic & International Customers
Dermology cream is not only shipped within North American but can also be shipped internationally by Fedex. So if you reside outside of North America, you can expect a timely delivery of your order.
If you order this product here, you may be eligible for a FREE Bottle on selected packages.
Should you not be not happy with your results – a 3 month money back guarantee is available for unopened packages.
All the ingredients in this cream work together in synergy. Their combined anti-aging, moisturizing and skin whitening effects are much greater than the sum of their individual benefits.
So if you are wondering how to get whiter skin and don't want to risk using a cream that might contain harmful ingredients – stop your search now!

USF Film Expert Sheds Light On Restored Metropolis
TAMPA, Fla. (Aug. 20, 2010) – Science-fiction blockbusters like Blade Runner, The Matrix, The 5th Element and Dark City can all trace their lineage to the 1927 silent film classic Metropolis... "The film tapped into the German Zeitgeist of that era, featuring in its narrative and highlighting in its visuals a dystopian vision of dehumanizing machines, a transgressive fembot (gynoid), class warfare, and a generational conflict transposed from the Expressionistic theater onto the screen," said Margit Grieb, a professor in the Department of World Languages, who regularly teaches a course on silent German film at USF.

Gig Harbor teacher accused of bullying put on leave
After receiving several angry and threatening messages, the Peninsula School District reversed its initial decision and will now keep teacher John Rosi out of the classroom, at least temporarily.
Cell phone video shows students hauling around a middle school student, stuffing a sock in his moth, putting a pillow over his face and holding him down. The alleged bullying is mostly perpetrated by fellow students, but Rosi does appear to take part, too.
After the district got a hold of the videos, Rosi was suspended for 10 days. But after that decision was made, the 13-year-old's mother said her boy faced even more bullying.
"He just said he wanted to kill himself and the kids had blamed him for this popular teacher and the suspension that he received," Karla Kinney said.
Kinney was shocked by the video and wanted Rosi removed.
"I think that somebody that could allow this to happen and participate has no business being in a classroom," she said.
Following his suspension, the plan was for Rosi to be moved to another school, but many parents were outraged by the move.
"I was shocked that they just moved him from one school to another," said parent Kirsten Gallacher. "That's not right."
Parent Vita Gray expressed similar feelings.
"I just moved to the area, so I was a little horrified to hear that because I moved to Gig Harbor because the schools are really good," she said.
After listening to local parents, the district reversed its course Thursday night and placed Rosi on paid administrative leave.
The Pierce County sheriff's office is now sifting through angry -- and sometimes threatening -- voice and email messages left at the school.
"I think the district is looking to us to make sure that we can protect them if need be and ensure their safety," said Sgt. Mike Blair says.
The sheriff's office is also investigating the bullying incident for possible criminal charges. The district plans to keep Rosi on leave at least until that investigation is finished.

London Fashion Week Spring 2013 | Day 2 Pictures
Our London Fashion Week Diary: Day 2
Day two of London Fashion Week was just as fun as the first, with plenty of action to boot. At the Topshop venue we spotted some of our favorite fashion fixtures getting ready to take in the Unique show — Anna Dello Russo, Leigh Lezark, Susie Bubble, Garance Doré — and made it backstage after the show just in time to see Jourdan Dunn and Cara Delevingne running off to their next shows. We also chatted with Topshop creative director Kate Phelan, checked out the Spring 2013 beauty boards, and explored the piles of postshow makeup scattered everywhere.
Next it was off to the gorgeous Grand Connaught Rooms to catch the Temperley show, where we spied singer Delilah and one of our favorite Brit street-style stars, Laura Bailey, posing for a hoard of Fashion Week paparazzi. Click through to peek at all that — and more — here, in day two of our London Fashion Week photo diary.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Scientists discover 'Brazilian Atlantis' off Rio coast
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
May 8th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Geologists think they may have found another lost continent, after studying rocks brought up from the sea floor off the coast of South America. The rocks, discovered near Rio de Janero, Brazil, suggest a now-lost continent could have once stood next to modern day Brazil, but sank into the ocean. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - About 100 million years ago, a now-lost continent may have stood next to modern-day Brazil. Dubbed the "Brazilian Atlantis" by scientists, researchers claim they now have proof the continent once existed.Telltale rocks were dredged from the seafloor two years ago and recently analyzed by the Brazilian Geology Service. Granite rocks harvested from a location about 900 miles southeast of Rio, suggest they were once part of a continent now believed to have sunk beneath the waves of the South Atlantic. Scientists have long suspected the site could be the location of a lost continent because it rests high above the surrounding sea floor. That distinctive geologic feature is known to scientists as the "Rio Grande Elevation." There is no likelihood that humans previously knew the continent, as it sank millions of years ago, following the separation of the South American continent from Africa. Still, the Brazilian Atlantis is part of a growing list of now-submerged continents that scientists are finding. Last year, scientists found evidence of another lost continent off the southern coast of India. The discovery of these long-lost landmasses are rewriting what scientists know about the primitive geography of the planet. They suggest that at one time, sea levels were lower and greater landmass may have existed than does today. They also make people curious about the legendary continent of Atlantis, which was once described by the Greek philosopher Plato. According to Plato, Atlantis was the home of a great, advanced civilization that was destroyed when a cataclysm caused their continent to sink into the ocean. Although historians say the legend of Atlantis is just that, a legend, we do know that ancient civilizations have been lost to cataclysms before. For example, the Minoans, the ancient inhabitants of the isle of Crete, were wiped out by a massive tsunami that swept their island following the eruption and sinking of a volcano in the Mediterranean. It's reasonable to imagine such things have also happened in prehistoric times and destroyed ancient landmasses, although the loss of such lands likely occurred over millions of years and long before civilization emerged. Still, it's fascinating to consider and exciting to know that great discoveries still remain in the world's oceans. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

No, no, between ratting out Weiner for his second sexting scandal and taking meetings with Vivid porn execs, Leathers also found time to conduct a little bikini photoshoot on the beach in Santa Monica. I dig her retro swimsuit and extensive array of tattoos. I didn't realize Weiner had such edgy taste.

December: Pages 1 Through 66
Hello, everyone:
Welcome back! I hope you all enjoyed the first two chapters of December. I definitely did. The characters are so complex that I was left with many questions. Let's dig in.
Ruth, Wilson, and Isabelle are a prosperous New York City family. Wilson has an important job in finance, Ruth is a stay-at-home mom, and Isabelle attends (I use that word loosely) a private school. They have a weekend home in the country. They shop, dine out, and travel. On the surface, life seems grand, but below lies the truth. Isabelle, the apple of Ruth and Wilson's eye, has decided to stop speaking, disrupting their relatively untroubled existence.
From the start of her novel, Winthrop addresses Isabelle's silence and odd behavior. We know that she was once a happy, loquacious child, as portrayed through her dad's reveries. But now she hasn't spoken for the last nine months. Her silence began shortly after an episode in gym class; she began sobbing while jumping rope and said to her gym teacher, "There just didn't seem to be a point." While Ruth and Wilson initially chose to ignore this episode (Wilson called his daughter "a little nihilist"), this moment, along with others, now haunts them. They are paralyzed by the fact that there may have been other missed clues leading up to Isabelle's silence.
At times, I feel sorry for Ruth and Wilson and angry with Isabelle. I want Isabelle to talk to them, to tell them that she loves them, to give them more than the "sorry" she wrote on Wilson's birthday cake. Though she knows her silence is painful for her parents—they have been drowning their sorrows with alcohol—she can't speak up. While it isn't completely clear why she stopped speaking in the first place, it sounds as if she thought it would be easier to not speak.
Isabelle's character has so many layers. She is an incredibly smart and inquisitive girl, and while her mind opens up worlds to her (was anyone else bowled over by her highbrow reading list?), it also seems to shut her off from the world she inhabits. She has fears and worries that are much closer to an angst-ridden teenager than a privileged little girl. Her musings on why things are the way they are seem existential. Winthrop writes, "It's as confusing to Isabelle as the idea of nothing, because by its very name, doesn¹t nothing mean something? The world seems full of these contradictions." As a side note, I'd like to think I am not the only one who went "huh" after reading those two sentences.
Isabelle also seems to be developing a case of obsessive-compulsive disorder. In a few instances, Winthrop shows Isabelle counting and sorting, and obsessing over numbers. Is it possible that this behavior, coupled with her inability to understand and take control of her surroundings, has led to her silence? Toward the end of Chapter 2, Isabelle says "she started to feel better once she resigned herself to silence" and that "it had given her something to live for, became an addiction."
I don't really know what to expect out of Isabelle in the following chapters, and that excites me. The big question looming in Ruth and Wilson's mind right now is whether or not Isabelle will start speaking in time for her to attend classes in January. I would love to hear your thoughts on Isabelle, as well as how both Ruth and Wilson relate to her. Is Isabelle really ill or are we witnessing preadolescent obstinacy? Where do your sympathies lie—with Isabelle or her frustrated parents? How does the relationship between Ruth and Wilson play a role in their parenting? Could Isabelle's illness destroy their marriage? I'm off to read Chapters 3 through 5 (pages 68 to115). I'm looking forward to reading and responding to your comments and will post again early next week.
—Amanda Armstrong
