How to tell if Naturopathy is right for me?
A Saint Louis naturopath is a practitioner of naturopathy, a form of alternative medicine based on the idea that the body has an innate capacity to heal itself. Saint Louis Naturopaths improve health by treating the person holistically, tapping a person's own internal body, mind, and spirit resources. Naturopathy comprises a blend of different therapies, all attempting to restore the body to health in the most natural, noninvasive way possible by stimulating the body's own healing powers.

CHICAGO The American Dietetic Association has published an updated position paper on nutrition assistance programs for children that reviews existing programs and their value, discusses barriers to participation and encourages more research to evaluate the programs' long-term effectiveness in helping children get and stay healthy.
ADA's updated position paper, published in the May issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, represents the Association's official stance on child and adolescent nutrition assistance programs:
It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that children and adolescents should have access to an adequate supply of healthy and safe foods that promote optimal physical, cognitive and social growth and development. Nutrition assistance programs, such as food assistance and meal service programs and nutrition education initiatives, play a vital role in meeting this critical need.
ADA's position and accompanying paper were written by Jamie Stang, PhD, MPH, RD, LN, associate professor in the School of Public Health at the University of Minnesota; and Cynthia Taft Bayerl, MS, RD, LDN, nutrition coordinator at the Nutrition Physical Activity and Obesity Program, Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
According to ADA's position paper, nutrition assistance programs like School Breakfast, School Lunch, summer programs and WIC are vital to the health and well-being of America's children and adolescents. Approximately one in six infants, children and adolescents live in homes that experience limited food security, and half of all children participate in at least one nutrition assistance program during their first five years of life, according to the authors. "Without these programs, millions of infants, children and adolescents in the U.S. may not reach their full developmental potential."
ADA encourages nutrition assistance programs to be made available to all eligib

A re-imagined line of PDP drums and accessories designed for all drummers.
Designed to be the flagship pedal of the PDP line, the all-new PDP Concept pedal from DW is fast, smooth and unlike any PDP pedal before it. The most obvious departure is its distinct look. With extended length XL brushed aluminum footboard and low-mass cam, its a solid performer that rivals much more expensive offerings. A DW-style spring rocker adjustment, beefy steel base plate and PDP beater are all standard on both single and double models.
A series from PDP that lives up to its DW lineage. Order today.

Comments about PDP Concept Double Pedal:
When I saw this pedal online on the DW website, I had to try them for myself. They looked fantastic and fit my size 12 foot no problem. You could feel a lot of control and with a single pedal alone. After some time I saved up to invest in the double pedal only to be taken aback to discover the drive shaft looks awful different from the photo. I switched it with a pearl eliminator shaft and functionality was 100% I also switched beaters with older DW soft feltbeaters I had for back up and I have been so far impressed with my purchase. The better control you have with kickdrum, the more impressed you will be.
If DW changes how the little I did not admire on this pedal, it will be a 10/10.
Best Uses
Comments about PDP Concept Double Pedal:
Fast, smooth, easy to set-up and use. The long boards are great and there is simply nothing not to like about this pedal. The feel is as close to two separate pedals as I have found in a double pedal. Buy it, you will be happy.
Best Uses
Comments about PDP Concept Double Pedal:
I have received two of these now and both times the slave pedal driveshaft received was not the part pictured. It looks like it came off some old gibraltar pedal, and it had a nice paint chip in it already. I honestly haven't even used the pedals yet because of this. MF had no problem sending me a new one the first time around, but I don't understand what's going on. Either change the picture or talk to DW/PDP and get it right.
That being said, I will continue to do business with MF as I have for years now. This has been the only issue I've ever had with them. If they can remedy my order and I actually get to use my new pedal, I would probably rate higher.
Best Uses
Comments about PDP Concept Double Pedal:
I just received these in the mail today and got them settled in right away. Alongside its simple-yet-stylish (and "conceptual") design, these pedals are perfect for the professional on a budget. You get more than your money's worth right out of the box.
As sweet as they look, I was leary about the brushed steel, but I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of grip I could attain. They're wider than normal, so you can really dance on these guys and not worry about any slip. They are also quite responsive.
The only complaint I have is in regards to the beaters that come with them. They do NOT have a felt side, which is a personal preference of mine. Luckily I have a few other DW beaters that solved that issue.
Bottom line: You're paying for a DW product. Most drummers don't need much more incentive than that. Don't let the price fool you. I guarantee these pedals will rival anything on the market with a $300+ tag and you're getting the DW stamp. Try them for yourself and see!

With summer in full swing (well, semi-full swing here by the coast), plenty of summer fruit is popping up in stores. I thought these pastry cream tarts would be the perfect way to start off the summer — a buttery tart shell filled to the rim with sweet vanilla pastry cream and topped with jam-glazed summer fruit. Mmm.
Fruit Tartlets (click to print)
adapted from here and here
makes 12 tartlets
Pastry Cream
1 1/3 cups heavy cream
3 large egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
pinch salt
4 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Tart Shell
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
fresh fruit, for garnishing (I used raspberries.)
1/2 cup jelly, for glazing (I used raspberry jam.)
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the heavy cream to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and salt together. Add the cornstarch and whisk until the mixture is pale yellow and thick, about 15 seconds. When the cream reaches a full simmer, slowly whisk it into the yolk mixture. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thick and glossy, about 1 1/2 minutes (A few bubbles will burst on the surface). Off the heat, whisk in the butter and vanilla. Transfer the pastry cream to a small bowl and refrigerate, with plastic wrap pressed to the surface, until cold and set, at least 2 hours or up to 48 hours.
In a small bowl, whisk together the yolk, cream, and vanilla and set aside. Place the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor and process briefly to combine. Scatter the butter pieces over the flour and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal, about fifteen 1-second pulses. With the machine running, add the egg mixture and process until the dough just comes together, about 12 seconds. Turn dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap and press into a 6-inch disc. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 48 hours.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator. If refrigerated for more than 1 hour, let stand at room temperature until malleable. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Press each piece into a tart tin, lining the bottom and the sides. Place the tarts onto a baking tray and freeze for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 375°F. Press a square of foil into each tart, making sure the edges are covered. Fill each with metal or ceramic pie weights (What I do is place another tart tin gently over the foil and then fill the second tart tin with pie weights. I've found that this helps the tarts keep their shape). Bake for 25 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through the baking time. Remove from the oven and carefully remove the foil and weights by gathering the edges and pulling up and out. Continue to bake until golden brown, about 5 to 8 minutes longer. Set the baking tray with the tart shells on a wire rack and let cool.
Remove the tarts from their tins. Spread the cold pastry cream over the bottom of each tart shell using a spoon. Arrange the fruit on top of the pastry cream. Bring the jelly to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally to smooth out any lumps. With a pastry brush, dab the jelly onto the fruit. If the jelly becomes too thick, add 1 teaspoon of water and reboil. Serve.

TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Hellstens Malmgard Stockholm
A nice smaller hotel, with a bit of a boutique feel, and some very interesting interior design. Nice lounge area with free tea and coffee for guests. Great location on a quieter street, just steps from the metro station, and conveniently-located to a good selection of ethnic restaurants. The breakfast had a good selection, but we found the quality a bit lacking.

BL #12: Contemplate Copenhagen's Contrast
Truth be told, Copenhagen has been somewhat disappointing, this time around - my specific memories of this place are vague, but I do remember really liking this city quite a lot. However, for whatever reason, it just doesn't feel quite the same anymore ... so what has changed, in a city that I once thought was awesome? It probably isn't Copenhagen …
BL #14: BBQ, Scandinavian Style
One of my most vivid memories of Oslo is strolling through Frogner Park in the early evening, with Vigeland's works bathed in beautiful sunlight, and the park filled with the delicious smell of seemingly hundreds of BBQs, cooking up a perfect storm of environmentally-unfriendly goodness! Being such an expensive country with a very short …

It's one of the greatest honours one can achieve in life, and perhaps the greatest bucket list item of them all.

Alright, so we really didn't win one, but we did receive a chocolate Nobel Prize medal with our ice …

The Vasa was a wooden ship made in the 1620s in Stockholm. It was huge, the largest sailing ship ever built in Sweden. However, on August 10th 1628 she set sail on her maiden voyage but after only 1500 metres she capsized and sank to the bottom of the harbour. There she sat for 333 years until being found in 1957 and raised in 1962. Since ...

I am a Life and Dating coach. I love what I do. I love helping people! My life is about helping people live their lives to the fullest. To wake up everyday and give a little more and be a little better than I was the day before. ****take everything below with a grain of sea salt. I'm the most approachable person you will ever meet. Message me if you have any questions**** "The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!?" I'm fiercely loyal, creative, intelligent, tall-dark-handsome, irreverently funny, and affectionate. I can write you poems and make a strong man lose his mind. Side note: I don't always smoke but when I do it is more gentleman than addict. Bio: I was born in the back seat of a Yellow Cab in a hospital loading zone with the meter still running. I emerged needing a shave and shouted 'Time Square, and step on it..Shortly after that, I woke up in Tangiers hancuffed to a monkey who was handcuffed to a briefcase. I love to travel and can recommend any number of places. The Sterling Hotel, in Cleveland. Great lobby. Good place to sit with the old men and watch Rock Hudson movies. Then there's the Wilmont Hotel, in Chicago. The woman behind the desk, her son's the Marlboro man. There's the Alamo Hotel, in Austin, Texas, where I rode in an elevator one night with Sam Houston Johnson. He spit tobacco juice into a cup while we talked. Let's see: The Swiss American Hotel is San Francisco's insane asylum. The Paradise Motel, located on the corner of Bedlam and Squalor . It's nice in the fall when there's a carnival across the street. And, oh, the Taft. I think they're a chain. You can probably get off a train in just about any town, get into a taxi and say, "Take me to the Taft Hotel" and wind up somewhere unsavory. Yeah, say, "Take me to the Taft, and step on it." Now I enjoy the small things in life. I no longer need to drink spanish wine in the crossfire of a hurricane. I take my coffee black and no longer laced with adrenochrome. I like dive bars. There's some good dives in Philadelphia, some great dives in New York city. There's a great bar in Denver, Colorado called The Sportsman; it's an after hours joint. It doesn't open until 4 in the morning and it's open till about dawn. That swings

BFS Partition Resizer: Final Report
First of all, I apologize for the delay. I have now returned from my vacation, had a few days to settle in and explain to my neighbours that I'm not dead (!). Anyways, on to the interesting stuff.
On the surface, the status of things is mostly the same as in my last report, with a few bugs less. I thought I had dedicated more than enough time for bugfixing, but that turned out to not be the case. This is partly due to the slower development cycle when testing natively (compile, copy driver to image, boot virtual machine, test, repeat), and the bugs only showing up after doing several resizes with other IO going on. All the bugs of this kind that I know about have been eliminated.To summarize the things I have accomplished during the summer:
- Resize support in BFS driver, save for vnode mapping and growing a full file system.
- Getting the resizing "pipeline" from userspace to driver to a working state (still needs some checking to verify that it's robust).
It turned out toward the end of summer that the way I had been handling changed vnode ID's would not work out. The vnode ID is a number that refers to a specific file, and the current BFS code simply uses the block on the disk where the file is located for this purpose. This becomes a problem when a file is moved, as is necessary when resizing. My earlier solution was to "trick" the system to use the new file location as the ID instead, but this doesn't really work out. What needs to be done is to decouple the block number and vnode ID in the BFS module, so a file can be moved without changing the ID. I have started to work a little on this, and it's looking very promising.
The ability to grow a full file system, while not of absolutely critical importance, would be very nice to have. I have written a bit about this in the previous post, so I won't repeat myself. The same goes for resize support in DriveSetup.
My plan for the future is to continue working on this, at the very least until it can be merged. Would be a shame to do all that work for nothing :). It's hard to give a timeline for this, it depends on how the school situation turns out, but I hope it will be done fairly soon.
The code can be found in my github repository, in the 'production' branch. It needs to be merged with the 'fixes' branch (this is not conflict free...), as for some reason I got started on a strange git workflow. I intended to have this sorted out by the end of the coding period, but that didn't happen.
I'd like to give a big thank you to mentors and others for making this happen, all the help and the welcoming attitude. I've learned a great deal (I hear the job market is screaming for people with detailed knowledge of the Be File System :)). Seriously though, I've gained a lot of knowledge of file systems in general, how operating systems work on a lower level, concurrent programming and so on, both from my own work and reading mailing list posts.
Have a nice day

Re: BFS Partition Resizer: Final Report
Resizing a partition to the full size of the media may be more important than you anticipated. The common use of this would be to resize a nightly image to the full size of a usb memory stick.
You have a higher probability of completing your work if you set aside a block of time every week where it is treated as a real job. This is easy to say yet hard to do, especially when you're still in school and there are more fun things to do than fixing file system errors. All I can say is that this work you're doing is super important, but it has to be perfect or it won't get used. You can do it!

I'm rather new to online dating, so I'm not sure what to expect/get out of this experience. At the very least, I'm hoping to meet some great new people. Film/entertainment is my passion. I don't necessarily have a list of qualities that I need in a companion. I would just like to find someone who likes to laugh and is open to enjoying new life experiences and adventures with. Random things that I like: holidays, ice tea, long walks at the mall, TMZ, movie screenings, Disneyland, day excursions to the snow, my DVR, batting cages, laser tags, 80s fashion, movies, and culture, snorkeling...etc "About Me" bios are always a little awkward, so honestly best way to get to know me is to literally get to know me.

The vision of returning to the office after vacation and the reality usually have very little in common. While many of us expect to sit down at our desks after time away filled with boundless energy and restored creativity that will fuel new projects, what usually ends up happening is that we spend several scattered hours (or days) trying to process a deluge of emails and falling further behind on tasks that have built up in the interim.
"You've got to set yourself up so there's the minimum pileup while you're gone," says Julie Morgenstern, productivity consultant and author of Never Check Email In The Morning. "Once you invest in that process once, it becomes an automated process. 'Every time I go away, this is my coverage bible.'"
How can you avoid the post-vacation crush and hang on to that refreshed glow?
Actively plan for your return.
When planning time away from work, most people focus on getting organized for departure. Avoid undoing all that restoration by treating your return as something that needs to be managed in advance as well.
While many of us try to maximize vacation time by coming home Sunday night, Laura Vanderkam, author of 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think, suggests considering an earlier-than-last-minute return.
"Consider coming back on Saturday instead of Sunday," says Vanderkam, emphasizing that time to unpack, pick up a few essential groceries, and get a quiet, uninterrupted jump on email can lessen the impact that first day back in the office.
Factor in some triage.
Don't just walk back into the office after a vacation without a plan of attack–unless you want to be steamrolled.
"The tendency is to try to make up for all the meetings you miss," says Vanderkam. "As much as possible, try to push those to the second day or the afternoon gives you a little bit of space."
Morgenstern suggests you protect the time you've set aside to get caught up the way you would a meeting or a presentation. It's just as necessary–so treat it that way.
"Build in some transition time. Don't book anything for your first day in the office, allot the time," says Morgenstern. "And block off the time in your calendar. If it looks like you're available, people are going to put things on your calendar. These are meetings with your to dos."
Your out-of-office response is your first line of defense–wield it to your advantage
Your out-of -office autoreply needs to be straightforward (ditch the phrase "much-needed vacation," please), helpful, and honest–but not that honest. Vanderkam recommends leaving it up through that catch up period; your coworkers will know you're available but it will help stem the tidal wave of outside inquiries, or at least lower the expectation of an immediate response.
She and Morgenstern agree that an out-of-office message directed at external parties should include directions for who to contact according to contingencies. Assess who's going to be emailing you along two or three broad categories and let them know who to reach out to instead or when they might expect a response.

Drape them over the cups, and very lightly mold them around the cups (be careful not to tear or break the tortillas if they're not pliable).
Bake at 400° for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Carefully remove from the cups and set aside on a wire rack.
In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, chili powder, cumin and cloves.
Stir in the parsley, celery, scallions, shallots and chicken.
Mix well.
If desired, chill before serving.
Spoon the salad into the tortilla cups.

The United States' failure to bring about renewed Middle East peace talks has doomed chances for peace in the near future, Jordan's King Abdullah told The Washington Post.
Abdullah also said that Israelis have moved steadily to the right and no longer are interested in a two-state solution.
The king sat for a 45-minute interview at his palace in Amman, which was reported in the Post on Thursday.
He said the failure to bring about a peace agreement will likely lead to "some sort of military confrontation, at which point we all come running and screaming to pick up the pieces. Nobody wins in a war."
"2011 will be, I think, a very bad year for peace," Abdullah said.
Abdullah said the U.S. support of Israel led to a false sense of security.
"When you get billions in aid and your weapons resupplied and your ammunitions stock resupplied, you don't learn the lesson that war is bad and nobody wins," the 49-year-old monarch said. "So there's a false sense of understanding."
Abdullah, who has led Jordan since 1999, has been working to restart peace talks. Jordan signed a peace pact with Israel in 1994.
"I support anybody, whether it's the Russians or the French, the Americans—anybody coming out with any initiatives—because when we all sit back and, you know, sit on our haunches, then that's never a good story," Abdullah said.
"I think the Americans are looking at their own internal issues and maybe other issues internationally, and so the Israeli-Palestinian issue is not a priority."

Cherokee Workwear Core Stretch scrubs have features that make them fashionable and ensure their durability. For example, these drawstring scrub pants have a back leg seam and double needle topstitching. The 24001 has a junior fit with a low rise and flare leg with side vents. In addition to the functional drawstring, these scrub pants have a comfortable knit waistband with encased elastic. There are lots of pockets, including two patch pockets. The cargo pocket on the right leg has several sections so you can comfortably carry all your tools. There are also two back patch pockets. The inseam is 31". The fabric is a poly/spandex poplin.
I love these pants and the fit is great but I really wish I could get more colors in the tall inseam. Navy, grey, and black are all that is offered in the Tall sizes. I want color! These pants are my best fit between the junior fit, lower rise, and the length and I'm super bummed that all that is available are 3 drab choices ??
Love these scrub bottoms! Fabric is very comfortable, length is perfect, and the waist band fits just right! I will be coming back for more of these scrubs soon! Very satisfied with the product and delivery service!
These have become my new favorite scrubs! The fit (petite) is awesome, they are comfortable, they wash and iron well! The price is reasonable. allheart also makes it so easy to order scrubs. They ship out in a timely manor and I have only needed to return once and it was hassle free.
These are the only scrub pants I will buy ever again! Fit great, soft waist band, perfect length, low rise!
I absolutely love these pants. Very comfortable, tons of pockets and never fall down or come undone.

Happy November!
We just had our first parent-teacher conference of the year, and am feeling pretty good about how things are working out in second grade, and I feel like sharing....
DD's teacher has impressed me with her willingness to tailor DD's homework to her level while still connecting it to concepts the class is covering. For example, they just started a geometry unit, so she gave DD a list of spelling words with Greek or Latin number prefixes (monotone, biceps, triangle, quadrilateral, quintessential, etc). She doesn't have a lot of time to differentiate instruction for DD during the day (DD's teacher said that 14 of the 22 kids in her class are identified as ESL students), but meets with her at the end of the day to review homework assignments as needed, and has been asking for and responding to feedback from me. DD has a weekly reading group with 2 other kids who are fairly close to her level. The teacher said she is running out of books for that group though, but said she plans to consult with the group about what to order for their reading bin.
Normally they don't do "advanced work" until fourth grade here, based on testing in third grade, but DD's school will be starting a couple of pull-out classes for second graders this month. The science teacher will be running an advanced math group, and the librarian will be running an advanced writers' group. They plan to meet weekly with 3 kids from each second grade room, so 6 kids combined. This is the first time her school has tried this for that age group. They planned for this when setting the class schedules, so pull-out math will be during regular math time, and the same with the writing.
Afterschool: DD is enjoying Math Circle and Irish dance. She has a dance competition next month. Violin lessons started last month, but they still haven't found the right-sized instrument for DD yet. I knew DD was young for the program (normally for grades 3-5), but it didn't occur to me that she could be too small for the instruments! The instructor brought a 3/4 violin the first week, then a 1/2 size the next week, and plans to bring a 1/4 size tomorrow....
So (big sigh of relief), second grade is going pretty well so far! Much better than first grade, which was such a disappointment for DD. I think it really paid to meet with the principal last spring to discuss options for second grade.
5 yo dd is in kindergarten and I spoke briefly to her teacher last week who informed me she is in the top reading group and when tested she estimated her DRA level to be mid to late 1st grade level. although i will say at home she will read books at a mid to late 2nd grade level for me but i don't ask her comprehension questions so maybe she's not comprehending everything she's reading. she's really enjoying the Frog and Toad series.
and 8 yo dd wrote a beautiful story last week that made me cry.
DS6 is not receiving any math instruction in his second-grade classroom until early December, when we meet for a follow-up TAT team meeting. In the meantime the team is following up with the middle school math department head and the district's math consultant for ideas on what to do, and I've been asked to evaluate several online math programs with my son to see whether one would be a good fit for using inside the classroom. I don't feel that I should have to afterschool him just to keep him learning. His test scores indicate that a skip to at least fourth grade would be warranted, but my school district rarely skips, and then has (according to the principal) a rule that one skip is all you can get.
DS6 will be meeting regularly with a new "support group" of other advanced kids at his school. Apparently they will be taken from different grades, since no one in his grade seems close to his wavelength. His guidance counselor had this idea. She said she will select some kids that might not be quite on DS's wavelength academically, but that are advanced in different ways and have unique interests, and can hopefully share in some of the feelings he's having. I don't know what sort of activities they'll be doing.
Yesterday DS6, out of school again because of a power outage here in the Northeast, accompanied me to two courthouses and learned a bit about the legal system. He had a blast.
DS2 continues to be speech-delayed. He is a reluctant speaker in many ways, but is starting to hazard more words and three-word sentences. He is very silly, and tackling 48-piece puzzles now.
Dd17 is living independently in a big city (Montreal) on the other side of the country and doing just great. She has no family, no adult supports, no college structure or school-style 'soft landing', just figuring it out on her own. There have been a few wrinkles. There has been a major conundrum getting internet service, and it still isn't connected, which is a problem since she is supposed to be doing her schooling on-line and is now almost a month behind during her graduation year. But she's learned how to call customer service and advocate for herself! And she was mugged in the subway, had her iPhone and only means of communication stolen -- not hurt, nothing else taken, but a major (expensive!) pain nonetheless. Anyway, she's third chair in the city's most advanced student orchestra, preparing for their tour of China, picking up French like crazy as rehearsals are entirely francophone, is working on an hour-long performance program for violin performance/scholarship auditions in January/February for university next year, managing all the business of independent living, picking up occasional gigs to help pay the rent and such. Her repertoire for the auditions: Bach Chaconne, Wieniawski Concerto, Kreisler Tambourin Chinois, one of the Mozart Concertos. Great stuff!
Ds15 is the one who has blown me away recently. Over the past few years he's shown himself to be highly introverted, perfectionistic, underachieving, procrastinating, anti-academic, avoidant and dysgraphic, and very comfortable hiding in the shadow of his high-achieving older sister. However he recently decided to attend high school part-time, after a lifetime of unschooling. And the transformation has been amazing! He is now seeing his abilities in some sort of rational light. The validation he's getting from teachers and peers at school has been overwhelming. He has become a de facto leader of 10th grade and an idolized role model for the 8th and 9th graders who hang on his every word. As the English teacher mentioned last week in writing me about an non-school-related matter "Your 'shy' little boy, wow! He sauntered into school, grabbed centre stage and hasn't let go!" About his participation in the major cross-curricular project of the past term: "He literally "held court" most of the week with his group and a growing number of other students. I can't believe his zeal for social connection and his artfulness in being so kind and supportive of others while also leading. Very exciting to see him in action." He is completing his giftedness and OT assessments this morning, coincidentally. These were requested last winter, back when he was still homeschooling, and have been expedited by the school due to his issues with written output, but he's thriving using his laptop and isn't the slightest bit self-conscious about it so the assessment turns out to be just a bit of necessary hoop-jumping to get him permission to use a laptop during standardized exams.
Dd12 is doing well in her first year of school too. She's doing 8th grade with 9th grade science and 10th grade math and seems to be doing just fine. It's hard to know exactly how they're performing, as the teachers for all three of my older children are in the midst of a protracted labour dispute and no grades are being issued, and none of the standard parent-teacher conferences or curriculum nights are being held. I'm not at all grade oriented, so I don't find it particularly troublesome not to have this information, but it is a little odd to have two of your kids start school at advanced levels for the first time ever, never having had any experience with assignments or tests or grade-levelled structured academics, and to get absolutely no direct feedback about their performance. I trust when they say they're doing well and learning lots and finding the work to be easily mastered ...
Dd8 is off on a non-academic jag, after spending the first month of her siblings' schooling lapping up plenty of bookwork. She has kept up a bit of math work and is within a month or so of finishing Singapore Math 6B, which covers stuff at the pre-algebra level. Every once in a while I harbour little doubts that maybe she's just memorizing mathematical procedures without the level of understanding Singapore Math purports to teach but then she manages to quickly solve a new style of problem, like this, without using algebra, just her own mental math and deduction skills:
"Sumin buys 27 comics and 12 magazines for a total of $126. Three comics cost as much as two magazines. How much does each comic cost?"
And then I shake my head in wonder and accept that it's okay, she understands what she's learned, since she can apply it all, logically and creatively, in new ways. We'll spend the rest of the year doing a program of math enrichment for gifted middle schoolers rather than rushing to move into a high school program. Her real passion these days is for science: populations biology and chemistry especially.
She's off visiting her big sister in Montreal for three days (her dad, attending a conference nearby, is able to deliver her there and pick her up). She's thrilled with the idea of living for a short time without any grownups in a big city, taking the metro, shopping, cooking, phoning home to chat, saying "bonjour" and "merci" in shops ...
Mountain mama to two great kids and two great grown-ups
After being bombarded by DS forever with questions like "what's 1/2 of 1/2? and whats 1/2 of 1/4? What's 1/2 of 1/8... " and what's 2 times 2? 4 times 4? 16 times 16? 256 times 256?" DH finally broke down this morning and let him have his scientific calculator. DS spent almost the whole day, absorbed. He even noted down each result in order to proceed with the next operation. Then he designed a complex algorithm 1-1x2+2 and went all the way u to 99-99x100+100, first yelling out the results, later running to us to have us read them to him. It took him hours! He had several meltdowns on the way but wouldn't give up until he had made it to 100 as had been his goal. i did not want to interrupt him in order to have him get dressed - I remember it was almost 11.30 h when I managed to get him out of his pyjamas (we're all on vacation and sick, so housebound.)
He then got more paper and started doing multiplication with base 10 numbers, getting it right up to billions. I had to count the zeros to check and he got them right every time. Then he told his dad that "6 + 4 is 10, and you know how I got that? 2 times 3 is 6, and 2 times 2 is 4, but you can add 2 and 3 and get 5 and 2 times 5 is 10, too!"
I remember being worried that he was going to be reading before school, and going to lose his mind in a classroom without differentiation. He's still not reading - may be something left to learn if we manage to enter him early. Looks like it's the math we will have to watch out for.
Well, and his socio-emotional maturity, of course. He then spent the rest of the day typing nonsense adn crowing "it doesn't understand me!" when getting the error signal. For hours, too.
DD fed herself her pureed veggies with a spoon and then proceeded to build towers with big lego blocks, five and six blocks high. Her fine motor skills blow us away. Or is that totally normal for just after one, and have we forgotten DS did that too or was he still delayed at that age?? (DS was mildly premature and had somewhat delayed motor skills during his first year).
MeDH DS1 10/06 DD 08/10 DS2 10/12with SB and
I have no official identification but thought I'd share anyway--even though my kids are not nearly as advanced as some here:
DD1 (5): Figured out 2 digit subtraction (no regrouping) with a two sentence explanation and proceeded to crank out 16 problems correctly. Lately she has figured out the concepts of multiplication and division though she can only complete simple, simple problems. I'm surprised by her math skills since she always has demonstrated advanced verbal skils first. She is still struggling with reading fluency and stamina. Last summer at not yet 4, she started acing the early Bob books and sight word flashcards and then stalled for a while--nearly a year. She's made a lot of progress in the last few weeks though. I think she just needs something to push her over the edge, and it just might be her vision maturing? We also are dealing with a ton of tantrums of late, most rooted in frustration. She is showing signs of perfectionism along with a low tolerance for frustration, and the combination is making her nearly impossible when things don't measure up to what's in her head. Her anger is epic and i am at a loss. We're a little annoyed with the lack of differentiation in her Young 5s program thus far. They're doing letter identification and counting and lots of tracing of words and sentences; this week, DD made me a card that said, "I love you but sumtimes I git frusitraded". A bit of a gap, no? We have our PT conference next week, so we hope to get a little more information then.
DD2 (3y10m): I have no idea what she actually knows and can do! But she definitely is doing first grade math (simple addition and subtraction), and she is starting to read. Sometimes she will pipe up with a word before DD1 when we are reading together, and others she cannot for the life of her put the sounds together. The other day, she amazed me with patterns--without "reading" the pattern, she instinctively knew which would go next. It was freaky. She's in a Montessori style classroom this year, and is next to youngest. It's an awesome fit, and I think her teacher has her figured out. She is working on some basic reading skills with some in the class, which is great since DD has known her letter sounds for over a year and a half now. She also is finally able to print her name--she would not even try it until she could write all 7 letters--and is starting to try phonetic writing. She also schooled most of the other kids in her soccer league and was disappointed when she *only* had an assist during a game! We struggle with some ADHD-type behaviors which I think are a combination of some mild SPD and some OEs. We shall see.
DS (13m): 'Cause we can't leave him out! He is speaking in two word phrases and has been since around his first birthday. I LOVE the language acquisition phase :) He also is showing a sense of humor--the other day, I went to take him out of his carseat, and he looked at me, put his finger to his lips, and said, "Shhhh! Sleeping." There was no one else in the car. Silly boy.
Anyway, I wanted to share because I often feel like I am bragging about my kids elsewhere, and here I feel like they are even below the range of "normal" which is a good feeling for once ;)

DS (2.5) has learned 5 knock knock jokes, and I have heard them all a million and one times He is also soooo intense and exhausting me! I got the first question I couldn't answer the other day - "What makes it foggy?" Me "ummmm, something about the ground being cold and air warm? I don't know. Let's look it up!" And the alphabet obsession continues - it started around 20 months and has evolved, but continues just as strongly 11 months later. It's great but sometimes it worries me. I can't wait till he moves on to a new passion, like maybe space or dinasours or something - anything but letters!!
Life is strange and wonderful. Me , DP , DS (3/09) , 3 and 4
DD(2.5) has begun experimenting with rhyming words and identifying which letters/sounds words start with. She has become interested in very basic subtraction. "If I have 3 vitamins and take away one then I have 2..." She also is learning how to tie basic knots. She has become very interested in Winnie the Pooh stories - requesting that her daddy read her one every night before bed and acting them out during the day. It's amusing to hear her repeating parts of the stories when she plays. We are both most excited about the impending birth of her baby sister though - any day now!!!
My 5 yr. old is working his way through the Narnia books. First grade is going great for him. He's not doing any extracurriculars since soccer ended, which is restful.
He asked me what it meant when there was a line with dots on either side, and I told him it meant to put the first number into the number of groups of the second number. With that explanation, he promptly finished the bingo game, doing problems that involved dividing by both 6 and 7. I was shocked.
We have parent conferences tomorrow. The gifted specialist asked to meet with us when we are done with the other teachers. She is consulting with them, though he is not yet identified.
DS(11) dammed our brook complete with an overflow system (kind of a one way valve) for diverting excess water and a drainage system. It's for a pond for his ducks. He's also doing experiments on leavening action when baking depending on the acidity of different liquids and the leavener formula used. He's 2E (with Asperger's) and he really got a push from the school to volunteer. Right now he's helping run the intramural program. There have been lots of little glitches, but he's doing it!
DD(10) is very secretively working on a novel. Don't know if it will get done, but it's the trying! She's reading "Never Cry Wolf" right now and I've been getting a full critique of Farley Mowatt's writing style.
Busy keeping up with three children and an awful lot of chickens!
DS 18 is doing well at uni. He's doing well with the written work despite my worries about his written expression issues. I'm a little amazed at how enthusiastic he's been about writing papers. I suppose it shows how important it is for him to be invested and interested in the subject matter. His last paper was a fascinating exploration of existentialism and race relations.
He was very busy with 3 part-time jobs in addition to a full courseload. He was working at a farmer's market on the weekend, at a community art gallery/workshop space during the week and teaching bass to a private student. The farmer's market has finished for the year, so he's happy that's over although he'll miss the pay cheque. He's been making stenciled t-shirts with hand-painted band logos for some small bands and getting a cut of the profits. It's pretty time-consuming because he prefers to draw and cut the stencils by hand, and then individually paint each shirt. I've suggested that he screenprint them, but he likes doing it all by hand.
He has also been involved in our city's Occupy movement, heading to the encampment between classes and on the weekends. As well as participating in some of the meetings and marches, he's been offering support by cooking meals with other volunteers. He continues to play gigs with his band and he's been visiting out-of-town with friends (and his girlfriend) who went away to university. So all in all, a very busy but pretty happy time.
DD 15 has been busy at school with mid-terms and papers and projects. She's completed some very interesting assignments. She wrote, directed, edited and produced a film for her film class, a funny little short movie. Getting the filming done was a little stressful and she had to work out some software compatibility problems between home and school.
For history, in typical creative child fashion she decided to make a fairly simple assignment - find primary source documents about World War I and write about them - into a much more complicated project. She decided to create a care package from scratch. As well as doing the original research that the teacher wanted, she hand crafted most of the items and wrote about them. She hand stitched a small stuffed toy bear from an old pair of woolen gloves, baked biscuits, made a sepia-tinted family photograph, included soap and tinned goods and other items. Her paper discussed textile shortages, food rationing, financing the war effort, supplies to the overseas soldiers, and the psychological affects of war, among other topics. Overall, it was pretty impressive, if not entirely what the teacher wanted, so we'll see how she's graded on it.
She's busy with stage productions at school, with some part-time babysitting in the neighbourhood and her social life. Again, pretty busy but happy.
What did the mayonnaise say to the fridge?
Close the door, I'm dressing.
Since then DS has been regaling us with endless variations on a theme. Some funnier than others Actually most of them aren't funny but they sure are cute. It's new to me, DD's jokes were always amusing in a quirky way.
DD's new favorite pastime is scrabble. She saw me playing words with friends and wanted to try too. She does need a bit of help but the look of pride on her face when she thinks of a word herself and places it is priceless.
I've never been a Scrabble player, so I forget about it. But DD1 would LOVE it. I need to put that and/or Bananagrams on her Christmas list! Thanks for the reminder.

DS (12) just completed another music competition season. He has been working on a very hard concerto very hard... he got first prize and will make his orchestral debut on December 11th performing the entire thing. He also got 2nd place in two other competitions (one had a cash price). I think he has really made another huge stride in his playing. It is so exciting to see him get better!
DD (9) just completed her first math olympiad contest. She is doing a great job with it. She also started playing the flute and is picking it up really quickly.
DS (6) is reading much better! He is in such a cute cuddly stage. If he has the chance, he will spend all day waiting NOVA videos.
This is really more a vent. DS1 just started learning the piano and he tried to open up our brand new piano and put his hand in to see how the strings and hammers work. Thrice! Argh. VS or not, this was NOT appreciated!
He's obviously curious. Why just redirect him? Satisfy his curiosity: show him! It's fascinating stuff, and one of the first things my kids' favorite piano teacher ever did with them. Remind him to wash his hands. Let him reach in and feel the vibrations of the sound board. Depress the damper pedal and let him ping and pluck the strings. Feel the thickness of the strings, see how it changes. Notice that some strings are paired, others are not. Show him how to do pluck or ping gently. Point out that the keys and hammers are precision instruments with wooden hinges, special bits of fabric, the arms thinner than pencils. Marvel at how regular the spacing is between the hammers. I think every music student should have an understanding of the inner workings of their instrument. I keep a dissected violin in my studio for exactly this purpose. (After all, you can't reach inside a violin any other way.)

DS starts every violin practice session explring the violin anew, pinging and plucking, making observations on the strings, the pegs, the mechanics...I am never quite sure just how long I should let him go on, because part of it is this awesome mechanical curiosity, which is good, and part of it is this maniacal distractibility which has recently ramped up again (see Seasonal Whatever Disorder) and would keep him from doing ANYTHING (even peeing...) forever if not redirected appropriately and ccontinually.
Yesterday I had to stop practice because I couldn't stand it anymore, unable to get him on focussing on Doing Things as opposed to talkasktobservefidgetjumpaboutbangviolinabouttalkaskjump. I then asked DH to practice with him at night (just before bedtime, which I usually avoid) but they had a great practice session, with DH genuinely curious about everything DS had to explain as he doesn't play a string intrument himself and DS then playing his homewor kfor him, and playing it well.

The boys (age 6 and 9)are finishing their creative drama class in three weeks. It's an improv class. They wrote a short play for their group and are currently rehearsing.
In two weeks, they are going to be extras in a zombie movie that is filming near our house. It's an indie production that a friend of a friend is working on. They're thrilled to death to be in a real movie.
He HAS been shown the inner workings of the piano. His (young but enthusiastic) teacher opened up his precious upright grand to show him the hammers and strings etc. I have also opened up the top cover of our precious new piano to show him. While not top of the line, it was a made-in-Europe piano that had exceeded our initial budget and his grandma and I had scrapped money together to buy it because it stole our hearts when we heard it at the store. Grandma says it will be something to remember her by when she passes away - it is meant to last the next 25-30 years and I really cannot take the stress of having him stick his fingers in to ping and pluck the strings. Just the thought makes me hyperventilate. Fortunately he has stopped now. Probably can't take mum hyperventilating, haha. I will get the tuner to show him again next week though. :)
how cool!! I'm a real coward when it comes to zombie movies and I think your kids are really brave to be running around with the zombies. :)
We just had the first parent-teacher meeting (DS started Kindergarten in August). We are in Germany where they have 3 years of Kindergarten, the last year is considered pre-school preparation. His teacher started talking about not "grading" him yet on the different subject they have (language, sports, dance, art, theater, etc), but then proceeded to talk about next year, when DS will be in the middle group. The neighbouring group will be a last-year group again and she suggested DS would go there for a few subjects like language, where he is clearly advanced and he already knows the teacher from this year. We were absolutely stunned by this (not that he would need it, but that she would suggest it). She also said next year we should think about starting school early as she can give him extra stuff to do when he's in the middle group, but when he's in the last year it will be difficult to differentiate for him.
DS loves playing in the sandbox, and needs running around, but he also needs to be challenged, so we'll see what happens next year. We are really happy with this school and also with his teacher. I was so worried when he started school, because of the gap he has with his peers. But they placed him in a slightly older group (the kids in his group are about 6-9 months older) and it works really well for him.
Kalishanti- that is very cool. He must be so proud! I love the picture. That smile!
As of a couple of weeks ago DD is officially reading books--as in reading easy (very easy) books she has never seen before to people other than DH and I with very little stumbling. The other night she sat down between my mom and dad and read them a book she had just gotten from St. Nick (Buzz said the Bee.) She steadily got through the entire thing, only having to sound out about 1/4 of the words, but fast, and only incorrectly sight-reading one word. She is averaging 2-3 new books read a day.
She is also easily doing adding and subtracting on her fingers. She just can't run out of fingers. We were at dinner tonight and somehow 4 + 2 came up in regards to number of bites needed for dessert (four bites of pasta, two bites of chicken breast.) Unprompted, she quickly added up her fingers all on her own, and using the words "four plus two" she exclaimed, "it equals six!" The finger thing has been all her. She has been doing it for over six months, She loves counting her fingers. She unconsciously puts her fingers up when just casually glancing at numbers of objects. At the end of family functions she quickly runs around saying goodbye by pointing to everyone with a new finger so as to come up with a total at the end.
Most surprising of all, she is actually somewhat social in preschool. I am told she leads whomever will follow in imaginative play at recess every day. The play usually involves dragons or sharks. And, at least two boys desperately want to be her 'best' friend.
She will be 3.5 in January.
Yes, he is already planning on going to the Nationals in Nashville in the Spring. And here *I* thought that we only did this tournament because it was 2 hours from home and we had relatives to stay with. HAH!

The Super Bowl has traditionally been held in a city with warm weather, or at least been played in a dome when it's been in a cold city. But that's about to change next year when the Super Bowl will be played at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey — an outdoor stadium which serves as the home field for the New York Jets and Giants. Philadelphia Eagles owner/chairman Jeffrey Lurie says if next year's Super Bowl goes well, he will push for Philadelphia to host one. "I will. Yes, I will. If it's a success. New York will help us," Lurie told reporters Monday when asked if Philly would push to host a big game. Lurie made his comments at the NFL meetings in Phoenix and said he is fond of snow games because of the way he grew up in Boston. "Growing up in Boston, I went to more great games in snow conditions," Lurie said, via the Philadelphia Daily News. "Some of the most memorable games I've ever been to were very difficult and wonderful conditions. I would have no fear of it snowing — as long as there's no public safety issue that day, I think it would be great if it's snowing a bit." The first 15 Super Bowls were held in California, Florida, Louisiana or Texas. The streak was interrupted when Detroit hosted Super Bowl XVI, which was played at the Pontiac Silverdome. Detroit hosted another Super Bowl in 2005, while Minneapolis and Indianapolis are the other two cold-weather cities to host. The rest have been in warm-weather cities. That tradition may be changing quickly if things go well next year.
