Due to some terrible flight coordination by some airlines, which shall remain unnamed (it's based in Atlanta and has 5 letters), we will be spending about six hours connecting on an upcoming trip at LAX airport.
Other than staying in the terminals and doing a run to In-N-Out, what would you do for such a short stay in the area. We could rent a car and drive someplace. Disneyland would probably be too far.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I've had to make a lot of really hard ethical decisions lately at work and it has got me thinking about how ethics and minimalism intertwine. Working at trying to create an ethical work environment is daunting and intimidating. You can be going up against such strong forces of the status quo and severe unaccountability for how the decisions of a few impact real lives in such a dramatic way.
While brainstorming the shared themes between minimalism and ethics, I came up with the following points and after-school-special notes for myself. Minimalism and ethics both involve on some scale:
1. Only taking what you need and leaving the excess behind for others that need.
2. Trying to see the bigger long term picture of community and experience being more meaningful in contrast with consumerism and selfish motives.
3. Giving better than getting (This is huge around Christmas time, bonus points!)
4. Inner creativity and richness building as opposed to building up of material items
5. Relationships, autonomy and courage to make the right ethical decisions in the face of real and imagined fear centered around losing material security blankets.
That last one is huge for me. Fear is a huge enemy of ethics in my life. It hinders me from making truly ethical courageous decisions as I'm scared of inciting the big monster of the status quo and letting insecurities take over my personal ethics.
Minimalism is one of the tools that helps me combat destructive fear patterns in my life. It helps me face and eliminate fear by helping me realize these truths:
– Material items and money while deceptively claiming to add security will never keep you immune to harm, devastation, rough times and mean people.
-Inner security can't come from other people and money
– In a direct way, fear and dependency can be averted by minimalism in how you buy less, want less and create financial independence from the things that make you reliant on systems of consumerism and insecurity.
– Minimalism reduces what you need so that you can be freed up to focus on things that add real memories and ethical value to your life instead of staying in a cycle of fear.

slides for use around the pool
Kathy Z.
from Spokane, Wa
on 1/23/2014
These slides are a little wide and slightly long but very cushy and not slippery on wet surfaces. I especially like that they do not have between the toes flip flop style straps. They are very comfortable.

Amazingly comfortable sandal
from Seattle, WA
on 9/5/2013
The sandal seems to run true to size which - from what I hear - most of them are 1/2 size too small or too big. This is the first shoe of any kind I have ever ordered online or without trying them on first because shoes fit so differently on my feet. Personally, I wear sandals all year round even living in the Seattle area with all the rain. Regular cloth type shoes/sandals just don't clean up easily and I'm compulsive about not tracking anything into my house. I don't have to worry about stepping in mud puddles either, just rinse them off and they're ready to wear. I did do alot of research before I chose the Aqua Sphere which just replaced a pair I LOVED and have worn exclusively for 10 years but are now obsolete. I would still be wearing them if they hadn't finally worn out. These are definitely my replacements and I love them so much, I just bought 2 more pair! I've worn them everyday, everywhere for the last 2 weeks and I can't believe how comfortable they are. Hopefully this will be the last time I have to buy shoes.
women's slides
from Pacific NW
on 10/31/2013
They are comfortable to put on. I can walk to the pool and back to the locker room OK. They are very very wide--as though they were made for men's feet, not women's. Get a size smaller than your normal. Too bad about the size as they are otherwise surprisingly comfortable.
Good support
from Boston, MA
on 10/26/2013
I wear these before and after swimming laps. A big safety feature is the soles are non slipping on wet surfaces. I find these to be sturdy, comfortable and true to size.
Very Comfortable...
Water Gal Tselane

Very comfortable.
Fits Well- order a size smaller!
Pam H.
from Stratford, CT
on 3/29/2014
I read the reviews about the slide running large so ordered a size smaller and it worked well. They fit perfectly.
Ideal pool/shower slipper
Linda T.
from FORT MYERS, FL
on 3/16/2014
I love these lightweight slippers for the wet pool and shower area. People who are saying these are too big are expecting this slipper/slide to fit like a sandal, it's not a sandal it's a slipper/slide meant to be able to slip in and out, without bending over and using your hands, in wet pool or shower areas. Both the inside surface and bottom provide great traction when wet and used in wet areas and these slipper/slides are very light in weight yet not flimsy. I also use mine in the shower instead of a bathmat. I would love to see these in more colors!
Non-slip sole
from Marin County
on 3/14/2014
I needed a pair of slides for around the swim pool and shower. The most important factor was a non-skid outer sole & these fit the requirement. My biggest complaint is they run wide and long. I normally wear a size 8, but bought the 7. However, these are still wide as my heel has a tendency to slip off to the side when walking. It's a good thing the walk from the pool to the locker is short & I don't use these for any other purpose.
Run big and loose
from Warrenton, VA
on 3/8/2014
We had to go a size down, but the width of the shoe is still too big.
Yvonne V.
from Mechanicville, NY
on 10/11/2013
I love these for walking around the pool. They fit perfectly and are very comfortable to wear. The grips on the bottom make me feel safer, knowing I won't slip and fall.
plastic slides
from St. paul, MN
on 9/1/2013
great to wear outside b y the pool
Very comfortable
Candice W.
from Ellicott City, MD
on 7/31/2013
I got these as back-up for my current slides to wear to the pool and in the shower, but they are so comfortable I have been wearing them at home as slippers. They do seem to run a little large, maybe 1/2 a size too big.
from Portland, OR
on 7/29/2013
I went to the pool in extreme heat & my feet felt great. So comfortable! No rubbing or slipping. Also wore them out and about and I did not feel the extremely hot pavement. Plus they are cute!! I can't say anything negative. I love them!!!
from Maryland
on 7/25/2013
Great arch support and traction for slippery surfaces. I got 1 size smaller than my normal size, since the slide expands and is difficult to walk in when coming out of the water. Otherwise, this slide is very comfortable and light on the feet.
Great lightweight sandal
from Ft lauderdale
on 7/18/2013
This is a nice sandal for around the pool or beach. Very light, but still good traction.
Wide sole minimal arch support
from Hiram, GA
on 7/14/2013
Feels too big due to wide sole. Minimal arch support, arch hurt more than flip flops without support. Apparently still nearly impossible to find non-thong flip flops with arch support
Aqua Sphere Women's UltrlightIII Slides
from Albuquerque, NM
on 7/14/2013
Attractive in appearance but way too wide.
Super comfortable!
from Chicago, IL
on 6/23/2013
I really like this slides. Very comfortable, and light. Quick drying when wet. They feel somewhat wider than my normal size.

KUALA LUMPUR: The return of China's Zhou Kejian as the boys' singles badminton coach at Bukit Jalil Sports School (BJSS) has seen a sharp rise in the standard of youngsters Soong Joo Ven and Soo Teck Zhi.
Today, the duo will get the chance to show their potential when they compete in the inaugural Malaysia International Youth Under-19 tournament at Stadium Juara in Bukit Kiara.
Kejian was BJSS coach from 1992-2006 before leaving for Macau. The 62-year-old was re-hired one-and-a-half years ago to strengthen BAM's junior programme at the school.
Joo Ven did the country proud when he reached the final of the Asian Junior Championships in South Korea in June.
Despite the good progress of his charges, Kejian was modest about their chances in the inaugural meet.
"Our standard is quite close with that of players from Thailand, Indonesia and South Korea and I expect a closely contested boys' singles competition. Winning or losing is secondary, I will be pleased if our boys can show their true potential. I know what they are capable of and I hope they meet my expectations," said Kejian.
The coach said he would use the Under-19 tournament as one of the platforms to name his team for the World Junior Championships in Japan from Oct 25-Nov 3.
Last year, Zulfadli Zulkifli emerged as the country's first world junior boys' singles champion.
Asked if his boys had the potential to narrow the gap on world No. 2 Lee Chong Wei, Kejian said: "It will take some time.
"The boys have been making progress in the singles.
"It is important that when these boys move up to the back-up team, there will be proper guidance.
"Their lifestyles will change and we need to have some of control over them."
Second seed Joo Ven faces Nepal's Dipesh Dhami in today's opening round.
His main challengers in the lower half will be third seed Sitthikom Thammasin of Thailand and Jeon Hyuk-jin of South Korea.
Seventh seed Teck Zhi is in the top half with top seed and favourite Khosit Phetpradab of Thailand.
A total prize money of US$15,000 is at stake in the tournament, where Malaysia are hoping to come good in the girls' doubles through top seeds Chow Mei Kuan-Lee Meng Yean and the mixed doubles of Tan Wee Gieen-Mei Kuan.

Nations, Language and Citizenship
McFarland, Feb 20, 2004 - Social Science - 288 pages
This study evaluates the importance of language in achieving a sense of national solidarity, considering factors such as territory, religion, race, historical continuity, and memory. It investigates the historical experiences of countries and ethnic or regional minorities according to how their political leadership, intellectual elite, or independence movements answered the question, "Who are we?" The Americans, British, and Australians all speak English, just as the French, Haitians, and French-Canadians all speak French, sharing common historical origin, vocabulary and usage--but each nationality's use of its language differs. So does language transform a citizenry into a community / or is a "national language" the product of idealogy? This work presents 26 case studies and raises three questions: whether the people of independent countries consider language the most important factor in creating their sense of nationality; whether the people living in multi-ethnic states or as regional minorities are most loyal to the community with which they share a language or the community with which they share citizenship; and whether people in countries with civil strife find a common language enough to create a sense of political solidarity. The study also covers hybrid languages, language revivals, the difference between dialects and languages, government efforts to promote or avoid bilingualism, the manipulation of spelling and alphabet reform. Illustrations include postage stamps, banknotes, flags, and posters illustrating language controversies.

I met a friend here for lunch, she had been there before, I hadn't, They were not busy at all, but it was after 1:00 pm. The waiter was attentive. I had the lunch burger special and was disappointed. They did offer several side options with the burger, which was nice. I got the salad, the cucumber was sour, had to spit it out. The burger was okay, nothing to write home about and I only had water. My friend had a half a French dip sandwich and a drink. The bill was over $15.00. I thought that was a little high, especially since I had a lunch special and my friend only had a half a sandwich. I will probably not go there again.

Sorry Knicks fans, but the Isiah Thomas saga may have another chapter
Aug 15, 2010, 1:32 PM EDT
It's the questions most often asked around the New York Knicks saga: Why in the world would the Knicks even consider bringing Isiah Thomas back? Are they dropping acid like it's 1968 in the Knicks offices?
Bringing him back makes no sense if you're thinking like a basketball executive. It makes no sense if you're thinking like a businessman (remember the $11 million sexual harassment suit he cost the franchise).
But that's not how Knicks owner James Dolan is thinking — he is thinking like a friend.
Dolan and Thomas are tight, as Frank Isola reminds us in the New York Daily News Sunday.
"Isiah is one of Jim Dolan's best friends," says a person close to Thomas. "That's good enough for him."
That relationship, the source of frustration and tension among Knicks executives and fans, will almost certainly lead to Thomas returning to the Knicks, perhaps as early as next April when FIU, the college team Thomas currently coaches, concludes its season.
If Thomas does come back, it will be as a consultant. But what happens if by April 1 Dolan decides not to pick up the option on team president Donnie Walsh's contracts. The Knicks have been looking to groom a successor. Maybe Allan Houston, maybe Mark Warkentien (last of Denver).
But if Thomas has his foot in the door and the ear of Dolan, and if he can help recruit someone such as Carmelo Anthony (or convince Dolan he can) it's easy to picture a world where he gets the team president job again.
A crazy, sickening bizzaro world for Knicks fans, but a realistic world nonetheless.

If "Groundhog Day" were remade as a horror movie, this would be the plot…………
- Anonymous - Aug 15, 2010 at 6:26 PM
Sort of reminiscent of when "Georgia" became the owner of the Rams. Horrible management begets horrible results. Keep the faith New York, perhaps Dolan will move the team to greener pastures…( I know I know…. where is there a better environment for a sports team than New York…. but we are talking about Dolan here who would mess up a wet dream by waking up). Until then New York there is always the Nets, Jets, Mets and Yanks.
- Chicagofan4ever - Aug 15, 2010 at 10:42 PM
It could be worse, he could leave the team to Isaiah in his will! Then who would stop Isaia then???
- Anonymous - Aug 16, 2010 at 7:33 AM
No! Why does James Dolan love Isiah so much? Isiah Thomas is a great basketball player and mind but dealing with the New York Knicks once again would turn the team into another huge nightmare. it'll be worst than what it was after it just got fixed. why mess it up now? theres nothing that needs to be fix. they lost in the lebron sweepstakes. but they did get a big player and now take that and the money left over and waiting for the Eddie curry contract to exprie after this off coming season and the knick will have prenlty of money to get Carmelo and Chris Paul.
- Huh? - Aug 16, 2010 at 12:00 PM
Do today's players even care about Isiah as a player? They never saw him play growing up. LBJ obviously didn't care. Amare came for the money, not because of something Isiah said. I would argue that having Isiah be an unoffical spokes person is WORSE for the team. If I were a player, I'd be asking myself who is in charge and question the direction of the franchise, especially given Isiah's recent history with destroying it.

Marcus Smart is the Leonardo of NBA rookies
|08.05.14 at 11:21 am ET
If nothing else, the Celtics appear to have the league's most likable rookie in Marcus Smart. (Unless, of course, you're a Texas Tech fan.) He conducted a scavenger hunt for SportsNation during the NBA's Rookie Photo Shoot, and the results are fairly hilarious. Let's take a moment to appreciate a few of the highlights.
- The pantsing of Oklahoma State teammate Markel Brown wasn't bad, although that's old hat to Celtics fans, since Ron Artest once pantsed Paul Pierce during a game.
- I just like the idea of eating snacks with Shabazz Napier. That should be its own show.
- Smart held his own in that arm wrestling contest with Mitch McGary for a bit.
- The forehead alley-oop to James Young proves Smart is already learning from Rajon Rondo.
- If I'm breaking down the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles powwow, Smart is Leonardo, since he's leading this entire operation, Adreian Payne is Donatello (does machines), Gary Harris is Raphael (cool but crude) and Cleanthony Early is Michaelangelo (party dude). This isn't up for debate.
Reports: Celtics center Vitor Faverani arrested in Spain on DUI charges
|08.04.14 at 5:31 pm ET
According to multiple reports out of Valencia, Spain, Celtics center Vitor Faverani has been arrested for driving under the influence (h/t CelticsBlog).
Faverani allegedly ran a red light and crashed his BMW hatchback into a bus. Nobody was injured.
According to police reports obtained by the media, breathalyzer tests revealed as much as 0.86 milligrams of alcohol per liter of blood in Faverani's system. That translates into a blood alcohol content of 0.18 — or three times Spain's legal limit of 0.06.
Under Spanish law, Faverani faces a fine, community service and/or 3-6 months of imprisonment in addition to losing his license for 1-4 years.
The 6-foot-11, 260-pound Brazilian played in Valencia from 2011-13 before signing a three-year, $6.2 million contract with the Celtics last summer. His $2.2 million salary in 2015-16 is not guaranteed. Faverani averaged 4.4 points and 3.5 rebounds in 13.2 minutes over 37 games before undergoing surgery on a torn left meniscus in March. He's been in Valencia rehabbing his knee this summer.
The Celtics did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Updates to follow.
Irish Coffee: James Young's love of cheeseburgers, other things we learned from Celtics rookie photo shoot
|08.04.14 at 11:07 am ET
New Celtics Marcus Smart and James Young participated in the NBA's rookie photo shoot over the weekend and neither of them collapsed into a folding chair a la Fab Melo, so there's hope for them yet.
Once you've digested the photos above courtesy of the league's various social media channels, let's take a look at some of the highlights from Smart and Young's contributions to the rookie class AMA on Reddit.
How Tony Parker's extension affects Rajon Rondo's contract situation
|08.01.14 at 5:41 pm ET
Tony Parker inked a three-year contract extension with the Spurs for an estimated $43.3 million, according to Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski, but does it have any bearing on Rajon Rondo's current status with the Celtics?
In roughly the same salary situation — Parker will make $12.5 million to Rondo's $12.9 million this season — the former chose the max extension available to him right now, a presumed 7.5 percent annual increase averaging $14.3 million from 2016-18.
Rondo can accept a similar deal now or wait until next summer, when he could max out at an estimated $20.9 million annually from 2015-20. It's easy to see why Rondo has stated his intention to fulfill the final year of his deal and become a free agent in 2015.
Parker, 32, is four years older than Rondo and will have already made $107.5 million when his extension kicks in next year. He's also quite comfortable in San Antonio, where he has won four NBA titles and Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has created an atmosphere that keeps stars coming back for below market value.
Of course, Rondo also inked a team-friendly deal when the Celtics were winning, signing a five-year extension worth $55 million in 2009, but he doesn't quite have that same motivation to stay in Boston now.
Even if he won't consider an extension now, one reason Rondo should at least think about it is his ability to play his way into another big payday at age 32 — as the Spurs point guard just did. In 2018, Rondo would be eligible to receive as much as a third of the salary cap two years after the new TV deal sends the league's figure soaring. If he signs a four- or five-year deal next summer, he'll be pushing 34 after the deal and more likely facing a pay cut.
There's also an argument that Rondo won't fetch a max contract next summer. Only Chris Paul ($20.1 million), Deron Williams ($19.8M) and Derrick Rose ($18.9M) will make more this season than the $18.2 million Rondo is expected to seek in 2015-16. If his agent believes he won't fetch more than $15 million annually on the open market, Rondo might be wise to accept a Parker-esque extension now. Unless, of course, he plans to obliterate the league in his first full season since ACL surgery and vault himself back into conversations that include Paul and Rose.
Ex-Celtic Jerryd Bayless signs with Bucks
|08.01.14 at 12:26 pm ET
Jerryd Bayless, who spend the second half of last season with the Celtics, signed as a free agent with the Bucks, the team announced Thursday.
The 6-foot-3 guard averaged 9.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 72 games with the Grizzlies and Celtics. He had some memorable games in Boston, recording a season-high 29 points in a game against the Hawks on Feb. 26 and dishing out a season-high nine assists vs. the Spurs on Feb. 12.
In Milwaukee, Bayless will play for Jason Kidd, who left the Nets after one season to become coach of the Bucks.
"The thing that was most intriguing was Kidd," Bayless told reporters Thursday at the Bucks' training facility. "He can help me in a variety of different ways. There aren't a lot of guys like him that come around."
Bayless, 25, was the 11th pick in the 2008 draft by the Pacers, who traded him to the Trail Blazers before he played a game. He has played with Portland, New Orleans, Toronto, Memphis in Boston in his six-year career, averaging 8.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists.
Irish Coffee: If not Kevin Love, then who?
|07.30.14 at 9:09 am ET
Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo and trade target Kevin Love arguably comprise the two top free agents on the NBA market next summer. While the possibility of Love coming to Boston has faded, the C's front office continues to pursue a second star to pair with Rondo.
A look at the remaining talent in the 2015 free agent class may offer a clue about who Celtics president Danny Ainge & Co. consider a potential Garfunkel to Rondo's Simon. The C's have the salary cap space to target anyone on the list, and stars signed beyond the coming year are rarely traded during the season.
Let's start by crossing off the list LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Luol Deng — all of whom have player options for 2015-16 and never looked Boston's way this summer. Now, let's sort the cream of the crop into four tiers.
Revisiting the Rajon Rondo conversation
|07.25.14 at 11:07 pm ET
It's been a strange summer for Rajon Rondo.
Trade rumors have surrounded Rondo for years, but for maybe the first time in his career the Celtics captain has said only the right things. Rondo claims to not only be happy in Boston but also to have complete trust in general manager Danny Ainge to put the Celtics back in contention.
In a day and age when stars seemingly text each other to join the next super team, shouldn't we embrace a star who wants to remain in Boston?
It would be nice if we could. Unfortunately, the Celtics find themselves in no position to do so. Between today and the 2015 NBA trade deadline, Rondo must go, and here's why.
It appears we can wave farewell to any hopes of Kevin Love landing in Boston. According to numerous reports, the Cavaliers are not only the frontrunners for Love, but a deal that would send him to Cleveland is all but done. If that isn't convincing enough for you, our own Ben Rohrbach has thrown in the towel himself, declaring Love will never be traded to the Celtics.
It comes down to the fact that no star player is going to come to Boston. No star wants to sign in Boston and there are none on the trading block to make come to Boston. Valiant effort, Danny, but you're out of luck.
Ainge is stockpiling assets, and doing a phenomenal job of it. Most have assumed the idea is that these assets will be traded for talent (ideally to pair next to Rondo). They may have to come to the realization that the assets will be used to select and develop talent.
Which leaves them with Rondo, and, frankly, he just doesn't fit with what they are left with.
Everyone has their own theory as to how to handle Rondo's situation. There are two questions worth asking yourself to come to an answer. Does Rondo fit with the current core? Are you prepared to let Rondo walk?
The answer to both questions is no.
Rondo is not the ideal player to have on the Celtics during an effort to develop guys like Jared Sullinger, Kelly Olynyk, Marcus Smart and James Young. That doesn't mean he has to leave for nothing, though. Ainge might as well collect a return on Rondo, a return that likely would add to the young players and picks already in Boston's possession. A return that would help build the team in the direction it's currently trending toward — the future.
The ironic part? If Rondo is so confident that Ainge will do the right thing, then he is counting on Ainge shipping him out of town while he still can.

In the dramatic finale of #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown's popular Texas! trilogy, the headstrong youngest daughter of the Tyler family finally steps out of the shadows cast by her two older brothers. But forging her own path will take every ounce of savvy in Sage Tyler's possession.
The youngest heir to her family's oil fortune, Sage has always been the unbridled spitfire in the Tyler clan. Now, fresh out of college, she's looking to settle down at last with her safe, upper-crust fiancé. Then into her life saunters Harlan Boyd, a rootless drifter recently hired for a Tyler Drilling Company project. Harlan's just the sort of man Sage should avoid, but there's something irresistible about the laconic cowboy that intrigues her.
When a financial crisis threatens to wreck Tyler Drilling for good, Sage and Harlan must channel their simmering chemistry into the task of saving the family business. But can she trust a man who shares her maverick spirit—and harbors long-held secrets of his own?
From the Paperback edition.

May 27, 2015 - I love these hearts! I plan to buy more. My son is giving one to his girlfriend. Got the stickers off pretty good. Unique!
April 14, 2015 - Love the hearts (I have 3); hate the sticker. Will try the olive oil technique another reviewer mentioned.
April 23, 2014 - Received my hearts in the mail last night. Dark blue, orange and teal. The carving goes up and down instead of across on all 3. Very pretty fat little hearts. The sticker is a pain. I got as much as I could off and then used a tiny bit of olive oil - rubbed it over what sticky was left and then scratched the rest off easily with my nail. I wiped the heart dry with paper towel. The tiniest bit of orange color came off with the oil, but not enough to see any discoloration on the heart. I have found oil to be the best remover for price stickers - no harsh chemicals.
January 31, 2014 - Love the paperweight. Hate the idea of a big white sticker with a bar code and price on one side of it. Can't seem to get the sticky off. Afraid to use to harsh a chemical that might take the color off with it.
January 27, 2014 - Having received one of these paperweights in pink, I decided to order a second paperweight and am just as pleased with it. The colors and carving are truly beautiful.

Looking forward to The Netherlands– welcome to our blog!!!
"Tot ziens" (farewell) to the Land of Orange
Orange, the House of the Royal family, is the national color here in The Netherlands and this is never more visible than during a big sporting event. Last night's World Cup game between Holland and arch rival, Spain, brought the colors out in full force. And Landmark students were NOT going to be left out of the Dutch national-spirit-fashion-frenzy. (Stephen and Turner win the award with the orange shoes and the Dutch flag nail art.) Oh and by the way, the Netherlands trounced Spain 5:1!!
Before the "football" festivities, we had our own farewell dinner.
Everyone is now off to their next adventure…Ben to Berlin, Christine to some time here in the NL with her mother, Elliot to join the next study abroad group in Ireland, and everyone else back to the U.S. of A.
Safe travels to all and THANKS for a great study abroad program!!!
Final class and departure prep
Students had their last class this morning and presented their findings from the "Career Comparison" assignment. Based on their interviews with Dutch professionals and on-line research, they were able to chart the educational paths of a nurse, secretary, educational consultant, artist, minister, communications manager, and international NGO specialist…and compare these paths to typical paths we might see in the U.S.
Now it's time for clean-up and last minute errands before our final Indonesian rijsttafel dinner this evening. Leiden will likely put on quite a "going away" party for our students tonight as the city rallies around the Dutch national soccer team in their first game in the World Cup "Soccer" Tournament.
This phase of study abroad is always a little bitter-sweet.
A day at the North Sea
Our 2nd Dutch holiday in 3 weeks: Pinksteren (Pentecost)
Schools, offices & shops were closed yesterday for the Pinksteren (Pentecost) holiday. Although many Dutch people do not "practice" religion they strongly identify culturally with their Catholicism or Protestantism — thus another national holiday based on the Christian calendar. Our sweet little city chose to celebrate the holiday with two days of "hofjes concerten" — a series of intimate concerts set in the city's hidden courtyards. Each student was assigned to find and enjoy a concert. A few pix and a short clip to give you a sense…
Although a holiday, students did plenty more than enjoy their hofje concert. All students presented on a specific "Level of Dutch Education" panel in the morning. And many spent time in the afternoon doing a "Career Interview" with a chosen Dutch professional in order to learn about the educational track that led them to their current position.
It was late and the sun was setting by the time the final interviewing team strolled home to their residence hall (the building on the left side of this picture).
Zig Zag City
An optional outing today to Rotterdam. First a visit to the Maritime Museum, which had some exhibits that we would never see in the U.S. of A. Examples: "Living on the Water" (exploring the lives of the Dutch who live in floating homes) and "Sex and Sea" (a look at how sailors have dealt with their sexuality over the centuries). Then off to a walking tour sponsored by ZigZag City, an architectural festival http://zigzagcity.nl/en/. The diversity of what this little country has to offer is amazing!
The crew hanging out on the newly constructed, raised walkway that "zig zags" through the city.
Patrick L, Christian, John, Stephen & Elliot in front of the "zig zag" cubic houses.
Two weeks down and (only!) one to go
Students are heading into the week-end with plenty of academic work to keep them busy. Here's Ann (our stellar Academic Director) with the list of topics for one of the projects students are working on. The goal of the assignment is for students to focus on a particular Dutch value, make observations about how they have seen this value play out in their experiences thus far, and explore ideas about how this value may (or may not) be reflected in the Dutch educational system.
A partial list of topics:
The value of "Global Engagement" and Multilingual Education
The value of "Directness" and Teacher Feedback to Student
The value of "Historical Pride" and WWII Curriculum
The value of "Tolerance" and Acceptance of ASD/LD
The value of "Gezelligheid" (no translation, but something like social coziness) and Group Study Habits
The teacher (Elliot) with the teacher (Theo Thijsen, a popular Dutch writer, educator, politician at the turn of the last century)
"Elliot and the Gull with Gall"
Raw herring is a delicacy here in the Netherlands and yesterday we visited a particularly scenic fish stand so that students could give this Dutch tradition a try. Our adventurous eaters were Ben, Christine, Elliot, Christian, Stephen and Brian.
Just as Elliot was putting his herring in his mouth, down swooped a sea gull and snatched it out of his fingers.
(students watch the rouge bird take off with Elliot's fish)
This entire scene was great entertainment for some of the local folks at the stand and one immediately bought Elliot another herring. This time, under the cover of the roof, Elliot has some success.
Next time we will pay closer attention to the "Be careful of seagulls" sign or perhaps go Patrick L.'s route of substituting McDonalds fries for raw herring.
Playing with perspectives in The Hague (Den Haag)
Rebecca took the lead (and the map) today and successfully got us to…
…the Escher Museum (located in the lovely "winter palace" of Queen Wilhelmina) where students had a lot of fun playing around with "perspective"…
…Madurodam (a REALLY big, really little, model of the Netherlands)…
…and the Binnehof (the seat of the Dutch government). You can see how very serious these students are about Dutch politics.

Yes Dick, thanks for reminding me! And the moral of the story... RUN as fast as you can and pull that sucker before it pops out. I have seen two other such aces (in tournament play) that both stayed until the thrower got there.
Only chains and higher had a chance anyway..Not true, wedgies count! Ask Dick, he witnessed me wedge a champion teebird into the basket frame for an ace on #17 at Swope during the '07 KCWO.

Exxon CEO: Oil Will Be Top Energy Source For Years
IRVING, Texas (AP) – The CEO of Exxon Mobil Corp. says alternative fuels will grow but that oil will remain the world's leading source of energy for another quarter century.
CEO Rex Tillerson says natural gas will surpass coal as the second most heavily used fuel.
Tillerson made the comments Wednesday at the company's annual shareholder meeting.
About 15 people protested outside the meeting hall, charging that Exxon was not doing enough to reduce climate change and develop alternative sources of energy to burning oil and natural gas. Shareholders were scheduled to vote on a resolution urging Exxon to set emission-reduction goals.
Tillerson said that the Irving, Texas, company has reduced greenhouse gas emissions over the past five years equal to taking nearly 2 million cars off the road.

We Band of Mothers
One Chicago mom's attempt to keep an accurate log so her kids will have something helpful to show the therapists.

The Sleepover
The following appears in the May edition of Chicago Parent.
Over the years, I have reluctantly allowed my kids to attend overnight parties with friends. While safety issues are handled after careful screening for appropriate firearm lock-up, working smoke alarms, and the absence of transient relatives, there are still concerns.
Namely, I know my children will be returned with zero sleep after a steady overnight diet of Sugar Smacks and Skittles. The next day, kids are prone to meltdowns and a prodigious channeling of Regan from The Exorcist.
One can hardly blame the poor host parents. Their sunken eyes and dropped shoulders during pick-ups reflect a valiant attempt at crowd control and order. Sadly, defeat is inevitable. Hell hath no fury like ten-year-old boys amped up on junk food and Xbox.
Some of my favorite memories from childhood were born during such sleepovers. Those evenings were spent contacting dead celebrities with our Ouija boards and making friendship pins. There was endless talk about boys we liked and teachers we didn't. Mandatory viewings of Grease occurred with sacred understanding that the movie reflected EXACTLY what high school was going to be like. It was under this nostalgic influence that I finally agreed to host my very first sleepover.
I quickly realized that boys are a tad different from girls in the overnight arena. My charges were not interested in crafting potholders. They did not talk about girls. The one movie they all begged to watch (the hockey film Miracle) captured their attention for exactly seven minutes.
Operating in a household without a finished basement or gaming system, the guys seemed confused. How would they expend their limitless energy for the all-nighter they had thoroughly planned? More importantly, how would they keep edgy Mrs. Walsh from losing her precarious mind?
They opted for shinny hockey.
Which they then played for five straight hours.
With knees red from rug burn, egos hurt from losses, and heads matted down from excessive sweat, I directed my mini-Patrick Kanes to where they would be sleeping. Having been assured by every overnight parent out there that not a single kid would drop off before 2 am, I hunkered down for a long night. Ten minutes later, one boy decided to move over to the guest bedroom, citing his need for some serious rest.
Fifteen minutes later, all six boys were OUT. It was 11:30 pm.
Based on the warnings I received, I had consumed enough caffeine to hold vigil until dawn. But now? I was wide awake in a house full of sleeping lads. I tossed and turned for hours, trying to make sense of what exactly went wrong.
At 7 am, that smart little guy who claimed the guest room poked and prodded his buddies until they were all awake and armed with shinny hockey sticks. It was time for the "Gold Medal Round."
Expecting the unexpected has been a central theme of motherhood. I assume things will always go wrong and nothing will ever go as predicted. As one little boy leapt out of my minivan during drop-offs, he stopped abruptly to declare:
"This was the best day of my ENTIRE life, Mrs. Walsh!"
Just like that, my sleepover phobia ended and I promised the kid to do it all again soon.
And by "soon," I mean sometime before college. I still am only human.

The Top 10 Life Lessons of Chess
The following appears in the April edition of Chicago Parent magazine.
I spend inordinate amounts of time trying to convince my kids to embrace traits that are completely foreign to me. Patience would top that list. I cannot tell you how often I have yelled in a public place: "CALM DOWN AND STOP ACTING LIKE LUNATICS THIS INSTANT!" For effect, I might then throw something to the ground. One time, it was my phone - which promptly shattered into a million pieces.
The irony is not lost on me.
When I first taught my sons to play the game of chess, there were ulterior motives. Outwardly, I shared extensive data regarding chess and child brain development with anyone who asked. Yet inwardly, I knew the truth. I was relying on a board game to impart critical life lessons. My children have been students of chess most of their lives and are fair players. As their first teacher, I worked hard to instruct them on the basics, but then quickly turned them over to more experienced players and tutors. If the kids ever knew my deep, dark secret, they would be shocked.
I suck at it. Without the patience, strategic mind, and attention span needed to win, I become distracted with my own maneuvers and fail to notice my opponents' tactics. With my boys, there was a strong desire to impart a level of discipline I always lacked. Chess was the answer.
Some lessons of the game are obvious. Many are subtle and nuanced. There are a thousand hidden lectures on morality, temptation, and even mercy within the board's rank and file. Preaching to kids the keys to being a good person is an exercise in futility, but having them experience it through a game can plant lifelong seeds.
For purposes of this column, I have narrowed down just a few of the pearls of wisdom gleaned from this storied game of kings:
The Top Ten Lessons of Chess
1. The world is comprised of people who move in all different directions. Pay attention.
2. Sometimes, there is no going back no matter how badly you want to.
3. Protect those who may appear slow and vulnerable. There are kings amongst us.
4. A strong woman can go wherever the hell she wishes.
5. The most remarkable transformations are not instantaneous, but instead occur over long intervals, one square at a time.
6. Stay out of dark corners. Bad things can happen.
7. A knight in shining armor, by nature, will skip right over you.
8. Religion can be slanted.
9. During your final endgame, those most easily taken for granted often become the only ones who stand with you.
10. One bad move does not a person make. How you recover from your missteps is your lasting legacy.
There you have it. Everything you need to know about life right there on a checkered board. With minds young and pliable, I feel strongly all kids could benefit. Sadly for me, it is far too late. I pretty much tapped out at Candy Land, becoming frustrated over never landing the shortcut at Gum Drop Mountain.
Like I said. Zero patience.

The Beauty of Motherhood
The following column appears in the March edition of Chicago Parent.
I was going to have to attend a weekend tournament at a Wisconsin Dells water resort IN MY BATHING SUIT.
My husband, Joe, did not see the problem. He began Yelping restaurants in the area immediately. My kids discussed rides and slides. While the family rejoiced and planned, my post-Christmas body and I flopped down in sad despair.
Damn you, Snickerdoodles.
Damn you, pasty white skin.
Damn you, ice hockey.
After checking into our room, my kids and husband sprinted to the water area before unpacking a single towel. My swim dress and I opted instead for a slow saunter. This was mostly done to keep inner thigh "swooshing" to a minimum. Yet during the three-mile hike from one end of the hotel to the other, I noticed something unusual:
I was in the LAND of swim dresses. I had finally found my people.
Indoor water parks attract minivan moms at a far greater rate than they attract twenty-somes with taut stomachs. Looking around, I realized my wobbly bits were in great company amongst women floating in lazy rivers and having a fantastic time with their children.
Nobody cared that my body was not perfect. Parents were too busy chasing down their own kids and spending exorbitant amounts of money on waterpark hot dogs to give me a second glance.
Inspired, I relaxed in a deck chair, ordered a fifty dollar beer, and thanked my lucky stars for having invested in several years' worth of swim lessons for the boys. It was going to be a magnificent weekend after all.
Right around the third drink and fourth People magazine, my youngest son approached and stared incredulously at my fantastically gaudy glitter toe nail polish and raved:
"You look BEAUTIFUL, mommy!"
I never grow tired of how excited my kids get when I put on anything other than sweats. On the rare occasion I get dolled up for an evening with my husband, I feel like a movie star walking the red carpet.
"Twirl around, mommy!"
"You look so pretty!"
"Can we come??"
There is a lot to be said about being the mother of sons. In many ways, I am their gold standard of beauty and grace. It does not matter that I trip on air, or that there's often lipstick on my teeth. They do not see my cellulite, wrinkles, or grey hair.
It is part of the magic of motherhood, and it reminds me of a line from Rodgers and Hammerstein:
Do I love you because you're beautiful…or are you beautiful because I love you?
My heart knows the answer. To my boys, I am a goddess in a swim dress.
And it is the best feeling in the world.

Pleasing 1807 Quarter Eagle, MS611807 $2 1/2 MS61 PCGS. Breen-6124, BD-1, R.3. This attractive representative boasts a pleasing mixture of green-gold alloy and reddish patina. The strike is considerably above-average for the issue and, while certainly present, adjustment marks are almost exclusively confined to the central reverse. Overall, we could hardly imagine a more desirable representative at such a modest Mint State grade level and, as such, an ideal Capped Bust Right type candidate.
The Capped Bust Right quarter eagles struck from 1796 to 1807 are among the more challenging type coins in the U.S. series. From the beginning, the quarter eagle denomination has played second fiddle to its larger half eagle counterpart. For the entire series just 19,487 coins were minted, including 6,812 pieces in 1807. That makes this issue the most often available to collectors for type purposes. In addition to the already low mintage, many of the gold coins struck during this period succumbed to the mass melting of the pre-1834 period. Only decades later, when greater gold reserves were discovered in the hills of North Georgia, the content of all gold denominations was reduced, and federal legislation eased the pressure on the price of gold, did production increase and gold coinage begin to circulate freely. Breen-6124, BD-1, R.3. Population: 6 in 61, 21 finer (6/09).
Ex: 2007 FUN Sale (Heritage, 1/2007), lot 3390.

Girl Next Door Looking For A Good Guy
I'm an honest, faithful and compassionate girl hoping to find a guy who is fun, laid back, intelligent, and who can make me laugh. I can be bit shy and reserved when I first meet someone, but once I get to know them I am very caring and a little silly (takes a little bit for me to show the craziness of randomly breaking out into song and dancing like a fool in the kitchen, haha). My job as an OB nurse means a lot to me and I am looking for someone as ambitious and passionate about his career as I am about mine. My family and friends are very important to me and I spend a lot of time with them. My ideal guy would also have a good social group and strong family ties. And he must love dogs because I have two 4-legged babies! Though I can be girly I also enjoy things like camping, four wheeling and fishing. I'm looking for someone who enjoys the outdoors, loves to have fun, and is happy to go out on the town or spend a night at home on the couch watching a movie together. Basically I am looking for a best friend and partner. If you're interested send me a message!

Recent reads include The Hunger Games, and of course 50 Shades of Grey, haha. I also enjoy re-reading the Harry Potter series (a little dorky, I know!!) I mostly read fiction for fun now that I don't have to read textbooks!
