Geographic Range
Viviparous lizards are found throughout Europe and northern Asia, including China and Japan, with a north to south range extending from Italy to northern Russia. It is the only lizard species found in Ireland. (Aragon, et al., 2006; Crews and Gans, 1992)
- Biogeographic Regions
- palearctic
Viviparous lizards have the ability to acclimate to a range of climates and elevations. This species lives in a variety of habitats, including peat bogs, heathlands, meadows, and dunes. They also tend to be found around bodies of water such as lakes or streams. (Aragon, et al., 2006)

Physical Description
Viviparous lizards have a wide color range, varying between brown, red, grey, green, or black. This species displays sexual dimorphic color patterns on its underside, with males being brightly colored in yellows, blues, oranges, and greens. Males are also easily identified by having white spots in a longitudinal arrangement on their dorsal side. The base of the tail in sexually mature males is also noticeably thicker than in females. Sexually mature adults of both sexes typically weigh between 2 to 5 g, with total lengths of 50 to 77 mm. (Crews and Gans, 1992; Smith, 1964)

Viviparous lizards are the only lizard species that is known both to give live birth and to lay eggs. The reasons for differences in reproductive method between indiviudals or entire subpopulatons has yet to be discovered. When lizards are placed in multiple environments, females bear their young in different ways. (Smith, 1964)
When the young are born live, they do not all arrive at the same time, with the first and last individuals being born a few days to a week apart. In oviparous individuals, the development of the egg takes around 3 months to complete. Individual sexes are not determined until sexual maturity. (Smith, 1964)
- Development - Life Cycle
- indeterminate growth
Male viviparous lizards must shed their skin before mating, which generally occurs in April. Before males shed, they show very little reproductive interest in females. The female lizards also shed, buty do not attempt to engage males in reproduction. When choosing a mate, males base the decision on the female's skin color. The duller the female's color, the higher the chance of mating and survival of young, due to the better camouflaging of more drably colored females. Males typically engage in mating within 30 seconds of meeting a female. Mating behavior is initiated by males biting the female's head, and then copulating with her several times over the course of 5 to 30 minutes. Females exhibit aggressive behavior if they do not wish to mate, snapping their jaws, biting fiercely, and running away from undesirable males. Both males and females have multiple mates. (Avery and Tromp, 1977; Avery, 1975; Smith, 1964)
- Mating System
- polygynandrous (promiscuous)
Viviparous lizards reach sexual maturity at approximately 2 years of age, with females tending to mature more slowly than males. Although oviparous females lay 7 to 70 undeveloped eggs, only 5 to 8 typically survive, with similar numbers of offspring being produced by oviparous and viviparous individuals. After the eggs are laid, they are typically hidden in vegetated areas close to water. Development takes approximately 3 months to complete. In the wild, newly born lizards reach independence one day after birth, after breaking out of the egg membrane in which they are born. In captivity, lizards achieved independence in 1 to 6 days. (Avery and Tromp, 1977; Avery, 1975; Chamaille-Jammes, et al., 2006; Dauphin-Villemant, et al., 1990)

While viviparous females do offer protection to developing young by harboring them inside their body, viviparous lizards have no involvement in raising their young. Although the young lizards do not interact with either parent, they can identify their mother's scent throughout their life. (Lena and Fraipont, 1998)
- Parental Investment
- female parental care
- female
- protecting
The average lifespan of viviparous lizards is 5 to 6 years. Most mortality is from natural causes, rather than predation. There have been three documented cases of individuals living up to 8 years. In captivity, the lifespan of these lizards is 4 to 6 years. (Avery, 1975; Crews and Gans, 1992)

Some viviparous lizards display a solitary lifestyle while others live in small groups, with lizards engaged in either lifestyle tending to share territorial space with other lizard species. Viviparous lizards have a strong ability to detect chemical cues. When odors of predators are detected, these lizards display rapid tongue flicking. The lizard will then try to determine the distance to the predator. If the predator odor rapidly increases, the lizard remains still to appear dead and/or camouflage themselves within their environs. (Aragon, et al., 2006; Avery, 1975; Crews and Gans, 1992)
Viviparous lizards hibernate from mid-October to mid-March. (Bauwens, 1981; Crews and Gans, 1992; Grenot, et al., 2000; Voituron, et al., 2006)
Scientists have observed that females with orange ventral sides tend to avoid aggressive behavior toward other female lizards, whereas yellow-bellied females are very aggressive. Mixed-colored females also exhibit aggressive behaviors towards yellow lizards, and when placed with both yellow and orange-colored lizards, they were clearly stressed and often tried to remove themselves from the environment. (Vercken and Clobert, 2008)

- Range territory size
- 563 to 1692 m^2
Home Range
A study of 3 populations in France indicated a wide variety of home range size across populations and between sexes. In the 3 populations, males had some ranges of 584, 1079 and 1692 m^2. Females in the same populations had ranges of 563, 1059, and 539 m^2, respectively. Habitat and population features were shown to influence home range size. These included population density, floristic richness, soil cover, soil humidity, plant height, grass cover, and prey abundance. Models predicted that home range size would decrease with more shrub and grass cover and increase with plant height. Higher lizard densities and greater prey abundance also led to smaller home ranges. (Ortega-Rubio, et al., 1990)
Communication and Perception
Viviparous lizards typically communicate through olfactory signals. They have femoral pores (on their thigh) that secrete hormones that act as chemical cues. The chemical signals produced by males are cues to females regarding their suitability for reproduction and competitive ability. (Gabirot, et al., 2008)
Viviparous lizards are able to perceive their environment through visual, auditory, olfactory, and vibrational cues. (Zug, et al., 2001)
- Other Communication Modes
- scent marks
- Perception Channels
- visual
- tactile
- acoustic
- vibrations
- chemical
Food Habits
Food consumption is regulated by a lizard's internal temperature. In the wild, this species ceases feeding when its internal temperature is less than 27°C. Captive lizards, can feed when their internal temperatures are lower, but must have time for acclimatization. These lizards feed on invertebrates, focusing on hemipterans (e.g., cicadas), spiders, and mealworms. Sometimes they also feed on moth larvae. (Avery, 1975)
- Primary Diet
- carnivore
- Animal Foods
- insects
- terrestrial non-insect arthropods
The most common predators of this species are snakes. Additionally, hedgehogs, shrews, domestic dogs, and domestic and feral cats will eat juvenile lizards. (Bellairs and Cox, 1976)
- Anti-predator Adaptations
- cryptic
- Known Predators
- snakes (Serpentes)
- hedgehogs (Erinaceidae)
- shrews (Sorcidae)
- domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris)
- domestic cats (Felis catus)
Ecosystem Roles
Viviparous lizards are secondary consumers that prey on smaller insects and other arthropods, and are also a source of food to larger predators such as snakes, dogs and cats. They are hosts to protozoal parasites in the genera Haemogregarina and Plasmodium, an external parasitic mite. These parasites affect the immune system of the lizards and decrease energy reserves. Heavy infections may sometimes result in death. (Avery and Tromp, 1977; Clobert and Oppliger, 1997; Sorci, 1996; Sorci, et al., 1997)
- Plasmodium mexicanum (Order Haemosporida, Phylum Apicomplexa)
- Plasmodium falciparum (Order Haemosporida, Phylum Apicomplexa)
- Haemogregarina sp. (Order Eucoccidiorida, Phylum Apicomplexa)
- Ophionyssus saurarum (Order Mesostigmata, Subclass Acari)
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Due to their rare reproductive qualities, viviparous lizards are of great research interest. (Thompson and Blackburn, 2006)
- Positive Impacts
- research and education
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
Their are no known negative effects of viviparous lizards on humans.
Conservation Status
Viviparous lizard populationss are considered stable, but the species is protected in some countries within its range (e.g. Switzerland). Many of the areas in which it occurs are also protected. (Agasyan, et al., 2010)
- IUCN Red List

- Palearctic
living in the northern part of the Old World. In otherwords, Europe and Asia and northern Africa.
- acoustic
uses sound to communicate
- bog
a wetland area rich in accumulated plant material and with acidic soils surrounding a body of open water. Bogs have a flora dominated by sedges, heaths, and sphagnum.
- carnivore
an animal that mainly eats meat
- chemical
uses smells or other chemicals to communicate
- cryptic
having markings, coloration, shapes, or other features that cause an animal to be camouflaged in its natural environment; being difficult to see or otherwise detect.
- desert or dunes
in deserts low (less than 30 cm per year) and unpredictable rainfall results in landscapes dominated by plants and animals adapted to aridity. Vegetation is typically sparse, though spectacular blooms may occur following rain. Deserts can be cold or warm and daily temperates typically fluctuate. In dune areas vegetation is also sparse and conditions are dry. This is because sand does not hold water well so little is available to plants. In dunes near seas and oceans this is compounded by the influence of salt in the air and soil. Salt limits the ability of plants to take up water through their roots.
- diurnal
- active during the day, 2. lasting for one day.
- female parental care
parental care is carried out by females
- fertilization
union of egg and spermatozoan
- heterothermic
having a body temperature that fluctuates with that of the immediate environment; having no mechanism or a poorly developed mechanism for regulating internal body temperature.
- hibernation
the state that some animals enter during winter in which normal physiological processes are significantly reduced, thus lowering the animal's energy requirements. The act or condition of passing winter in a torpid or resting state, typically involving the abandonment of homoiothermy in mammals.
- indeterminate growth
Animals with indeterminate growth continue to grow throughout their lives.
- insectivore
An animal that eats mainly insects or spiders.
- iteroparous
offspring are produced in more than one group (litters, clutches, etc.) and across multiple seasons (or other periods hospitable to reproduction). Iteroparous animals must, by definition, survive over multiple seasons (or periodic condition changes).
- marsh
marshes are wetland areas often dominated by grasses and reeds.
- native range
the area in which the animal is naturally found, the region in which it is endemic.
- oviparous
reproduction in which eggs are released by the female; development of offspring occurs outside the mother's body.
- polygynandrous
the kind of polygamy in which a female pairs with several males, each of which also pairs with several different females.
- riparian
Referring to something living or located adjacent to a waterbody (usually, but not always, a river or stream).
- scent marks
communicates by producing scents from special gland(s) and placing them on a surface whether others can smell or taste them
- seasonal breeding
breeding is confined to a particular season
- sexual
reproduction that includes combining the genetic contribution of two individuals, a male and a female
- social
associates with others of its species; forms social groups.
- solitary
lives alone
- swamp
a wetland area that may be permanently or intermittently covered in water, often dominated by woody vegetation.
- tactile
uses touch to communicate
- temperate
that region of the Earth between 23.5 degrees North and 60 degrees North (between the Tropic of Cancer and the Arctic Circle) and between 23.5 degrees South and 60 degrees South (between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Antarctic Circle).
- terrestrial
Living on the ground.
- tropical savanna and grassland
A terrestrial biome. Savannas are grasslands with scattered individual trees that do not form a closed canopy. Extensive savannas are found in parts of subtropical and tropical Africa and South America, and in Australia.
- savanna
A grassland with scattered trees or scattered clumps of trees, a type of community intermediate between grassland and forest. See also Tropical savanna and grassland biome.
- temperate grassland
A terrestrial biome found in temperate latitudes (>23.5° N or S latitude). Vegetation is made up mostly of grasses, the height and species diversity of which depend largely on the amount of moisture available. Fire and grazing are important in the long-term maintenance of grasslands.
- vibrations
movements of a hard surface that are produced by animals as signals to others
- visual
uses sight to communicate
- viviparous
reproduction in which fertilization and development take place within the female body and the developing embryo derives nourishment from the female.

Movie (1986)
Clint Eastwood adopts a voice of pure granite and a manner to match as a hell-raising Marine sergeant assigned to whip a squad of raw recruits into shape for the invasion of Grenada - but his old-fashioned, hard-as-nails methods meet with disapproval in certain quarters, and he's soon clashing with his superiors. Solid action adventure, which Eastwood also directed, co-starring Marsha Mason, Everett McGill, Moses Gunn and Bo Svenson

Our year off
on form is a biennial exhibition, which takes place in all the years which end in even numbers. Our next exhibition will be on form 16. It will open on Sunday 12 June 2016 and, with the exception of Mondays and Tuesdays, it will remain open until Sunday 10 July 2016. We are already working to prepare the garden, gather the sculptors and prepare an eclectic series of talks and events. We very much look forward to welcoming you.
If you would like to be part of on form 16, whether as a sculptor, writer, administrative assistant or in some other capacity, please email firstname.lastname@example.com. Application instructions for sculptors are here.
We still welcome your comments on previous exhibitions to help us plan for our 2016 exhibition.
on form 14, our seventh exhibition, ran from June 7th to July 6th, 2014. We are very, very thankful to everybody who helped to make those weeks so happy. These include 30 sculptors, numerous assistants, 8,000 visitors, 90 buyers of 108 sculptures, 2 gardeners, 3 booksellers, 40 actors, 1 photographer, 3 designers, 3 chefs, 3 film-makers, a dozen waiters and washers up, and others too numerous to mention, but too lovely to forget. If you're missing us, please watch our film below. You may think from the opening that it is the same film we played in our film room during the show, but in fact it contains a lot of extra footage, showing some moments during the exhibition, and not just the installation.

If great gas mileage and reliability are required for your regular commute, consumers can count on vehicles built by Daewoo. A stunning Daewoo fully utilizes an unbeatable gasoline engine and a supple suspension. Daewoo vehicles are known for their innovative designs and no hassle maneuvering as well as their fuel efficiency and durability mile after mile. Daewoo vehicles have a reputation for great design and a large number of safety options. For durable mechanical design and dependable service at a reasonable sticker price, rely on Daewoo trucks. A Daewoo is a vehicle designed for maximum performance and it needs the best quality aftermarket and OEM parts. Your vehicle needs the best premium replacement parts that you can find.

The slender end of the Daewoo Control Arm attaches to a wheel with a ball joint while the broader end of the arm is fastened to your vehicle frame and turns on a bushing. If a Daewoo Control Arm snaps, it's usually wise to have the other arm inspected, for it too may need repair.

Originally written on The Penalty Flag | Last updated 2/9/13
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - OCTOBER 18: Ryan Fitzpatrick #14 of the Buffalo Bills stands on the sidelines during the game against the New York Jets on October 18, 2009 at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The Bills defeated the Jets 16-13 in overtime. (Photo by Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)
Buffalo Bills General Manager Buddy Nix has stated he has all the faith in the world in starting QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. Heck, he even had former Head Coach Chan Gailey, and basically the entire offense believing that Fitzpatrick could lead this team to at least a playoff berth, which led to his hearty extension and pay raise midway through the 2011 season. Well, the 2012 season has come and gone for Buffalo, and they missed the playoffs for a 13th straight season, which has some fans angry and wondering how Fitzpatrick is still the starting quarterback for this team...

Ah, Chatroulette. A website inhabited largely by males who are gullible enough to think that every female they encounter will show some skin. Ha! This is Earth, remember? You must be thinking of Fantasy Island (de plane, de plane!).
One would assume that since the majority of your chat partners on 'roulette are a slew of penises, males would refrain from visiting this sitesadly, my gender is not that oh, what's the word smawrt. However, I have noticed that after the phallic onslaught, when a male finally is partnered with a female they believe the woman is a stripper. No, instead many of these females use their allure to attract a male into their trap, and proceed to pwn them; much like a Venus Fly Trap, but more painfully. Evidence of this can be seen simply by searching "Chatroulette girl prank" on Youtube. There are so many guys that fall prey to this snare and once they untangle themselves from their epic fail they walk right into another booby trap (pun intended).
I'm sure many of you are aware of the nature of Chatroulette, so I won't bother explaining the mechanics. However, as this website continues to grow in popularity, I believe that the variety of pranks will also expand; making it the collective "wall of shame" from a woman's perspective. This is perhaps the greatest opportunity for females all over the world to unite and finally administer total embrassment to their male counterparts. Throughout history men have remained on top of the 'gender pwnage wars,' examples such as voting rights, higher wages for the same occupations, land ownership NOT getting pregnant (technically that's life's fault, not ours), and so on. It's about time women had a domain of their own where they rule, where they sit at the throne. Chatroulette has made jesters out of men, we are used for female entertainment. When a female receives a male partner on this cruel website, they finally have something to teabag us with something we won't enjoy, that is.
So, my fellow 'danglers,' I would like to share a few things that could save you from a horrible fate that could end up somewhere on the internet for the world to see:
1. If you encounter a female on Chatroulette, DO NOT GET EXCITED. This is how they get you. When you get excited, you aren't thinking clearly. You're thinking about boobs. Instead, try using the service for it's intended purpose: to communicate with another human being.
2. Should said female promise a 'reward' of sorts, carefully think about the terms. Is she asking you to lick your toes, for example? Chances are, it's a trap. In this case make like Admiral Ackbar and sound the alarm. Or, you could go with it I mean, they're your toes afterall. Just don't come crying when you wind up on Youtube romancing your feet.
3. Look for evidence proving it is a live feed. In some cases GIF's are used, or even looped videos. And if this is the case, remember that whoever is on the other side can still see you and can still record you. Check the background for continuity, wait for the loop to end, and so on.
4. I cannot stress this enough. If she is trying to prank you, then there will be signs. Try changing the subject or the terms and observe the reaction. If you are asked to lick your toes and you start asking her how the weather is, see if she jumps right back to the deal. If she does, she's either pranking you, or has some sort of weird toe fetish which is gross.
Well, that's about all the advice I'm going to give, mainly because there are girls reading this article and I don't want to give them any ideas or reveal our defences too much. The rest is up to you. After countinuously viewing guys pleasing themselves until you finally are partnered with a female, would you rather be pwn'ed, or 'F9'ed?' The choice is up to you.
I would also like to address the masturbation issue on Chatroulette. If you can't get someone to do it for you, then go watch porn. No one wants to see you fondling yourself despite how pathetic and lame you appear.
Now the challange has been made; more awareness of your ploys will make it a bit more difficult for you to con a prospective victim. I'm not trying to stop females from pranking males, instead I'm making it into a game a test towards your creativity. Unite and rain down hell upon 'man'kind at least until we finally realize what a sausage fest 'roulette is and stop visiting the site in large numbers. At that point, you can go pwn yourselves.
*Despite my over-usage of the toe licking example, I do not have a toe fetish I saw it on youtube and thought it was funny. Also, I bear no hostility towards the clever women that pwn the majority of guys on that site; many of them deserve it I just want you to realize that if you continue at this rate, there will be no one left to pwn but yourselves
*If you respond TLDNR (or any variation), you seriously need to go read a book.
*Also, I'm not condeming Chatroulette. I think it's a great site that can be used to connect with other human beings on this massive rock we call Earth. I'm surprised no one has thought of it sooner, and I salute the creators.
*This one was added just to piss you off .or make you laugh. I don't care which.

Marks site of Thomas A. Edison's Menlo Park labs
A $2.4 million contract has been awarded for the long-awaited restoration of Edison Memorial Tower, a historic structure in Edison State Park in Middlesex County that honors the inventor Thomas Alva Edison, state Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin announced Thursday.
Astral Construction Services of Bergenfield is expected to begin in the near future to repair the Art Deco monument that dates to 1937. The tower has been closed to the public and surrounded by a cyclone fence for several years because of crumbling concrete that made the structure hazardous.
"This is a terrific collaborative effort to restore an important piece of the state's history, and to honor one of its great residents — Thomas Alva Edison,'' Martin said. "It is part of our continuing effort to protect the state's existing natural and historic resources, an effort that is a priority for the Christie Administration. We are delighted to see this restoration work finally begin.''
Funding for the project includes $1.5 million in Corporate Business Tax revenue and additional state funds, and 4875,000 from the Middlesex County Open Space, Recreation, Farmland and Historic Preservation Trust Fund, and the Edison Memorial Tower Corp. a nonprofit group dedicated to preserving the tower.
"The Edison Memorial Tower Corporation appreciates the community's ongoing support for this restoration project," Nancy Zerbe, the organization's president, said. "We hope the public will join us this summer to watch the scaffolding go up and the work get under way.''
The tower is located within the 36-acre Edison State Park, which is jointly administered by the DEP, Edison Township, and the Edison Memorial Tower Corp. The park's historic elements, known collectively as the Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park, include the tower, several smaller commemorative monuments, a museum devoted to Edison, and the foundations of some of Edison's original laboratory buildings.
The park is the site of Edison's Menlo Park laboratory, where the inventor established the world's first organized research and development laboratory, perfected the incandescent lamp, developed a complete system for generating and distributing electric current, and invented the phonograph.
In addition to making the structure safer, work to be done on the tower includes cleaning and restoring the exposed aggregate concrete; restoration of lighting, including the large Pyrex glass light bulb at the top of the structure; replacement of the speaker system; restoration of the bronze door and plaques around the perimeter of the base; restoration of the stone plaza, and electrical, plumbing, and drainage repairs.
Architectural management will be provided by Mills & Schnoering Architects of Princeton.

London: Printed for John Stockdale, 1787. First edition in English. Octavo. [vi], [1]-382 pages. With a large folding map, hand-colored in outline, bound just before the text, titled, "A Map of the country between Albemarle Sound, and Lake Erie, comprehending the whole of Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania, with parts of several other of the United States of America." Contemporary full leather with gilt titles on a red morocco spine label (partially perished). Significant wear and abrading to boards. Corners exposed. Spine is approximately three-fifths perished. Front board re-attached along hinge. Very minor foxing, but mostly a wonderfully clean text. A few leaves with creased corners. Two-and-a-half-inch closed tear to the map, affecting the "T" in "ATLANTIC OCEAN." Light foxing to map, and some fold-line tape repairs to the verso. Overall, a wonderful, clean copy of Jefferson's classic work in very good condition.
John Stockdale, Jefferson's longtime bookseller, wrote to the author on November 20, 1786 to inquire about publishing the Notes in English: "Some time past two French Gentlemen call'd upon me, with a Copy of your Minutes of Virginia, with a View to have it Printed, but I inform'd them that I had some reason to believe that a New Edition was coming out with corrections by the Author, and ... a large Map was [being engraved] for the Work. I have some doubts wether it would pay the expences, at same time have a Wish to Publish it, with your Name, as I am convinced it is a Work of great Merit" (Thomas Jefferson Papers 10:545).
On February 1, 1787, Jefferson wrote Stockdale: "You have two or three times proposed to me the printing my Notes on Virginia. I never did intend to have them made public ... [b]ut as a translation of them is coming out, I have concluded to let the original appear also. I have therefore corrected a copy, and made some additions. I have moreover had a map engraved, which is worth more than the book. If you chuse to print the work I will send you the corrected copy, and when it shall be nearly printed I will send the plate of the map" (Thomas Jefferson Papers, 11:107).

So, it's been a while. Due to some technical difficulties, we haven't been able to post a podcast for the past few weeks. But thanks to the whizbang IT department at the University of Rochester, our 10,000 year old iMac is up and functioning again. Which means that 2013 can finally officially start—thanks to our preview podcast.
This week, Tom Roberge and I discuss a bunch of 2013 books that we're excited about. Our preview includes everything from Javier Marias's latest, to 18% Gray (and the faux 18% Gray) to the new Laszlo Krashnahorkai to Yoko Ogawa's Revenge and Mo Yan's Sandalwood Death and, as always, is a mix of incisive literary observations and irreverence and soccer talk.

The parents of a recent high school graduate ask: "Our son wants to take a year off before he starts college—is that a bad idea?" Show Notes

Dear Dr. Bill,
Our son just graduated from high school and he's asked us how we feel about him taking off school for a year. He is very responsible in a variety of ways — he works part time to pay for his cell phone, car insurance, gas, entertainment and his "garage band." He's earned college credits for the last few years of high school and he had a full semester's worth of credit when he graduated. What do you think about him taking a year off? We're afraid he might lose momentum.
Dear Becky,
It sounds like you and your husband have done a great job raising your son. In this day and age when so many kids are selfish, spoiled, and irresponsible, you should be proud to have a child who studies hard, succeeds academically, works part time and acts responsibly.
I wouldn't be concerned about his desire to take a year off from school before he starts college. From everything you've told me, he is one thoughtful, goal-oriented kid. If he wants to take a year off to work, travel, or simply figure out what he wants to study, I don't see a problem with that.
Besides, your son is ahead of the game, having earned a semester of college credit while still in high school.
After a one year break, chances are he'll be even more motivated to start college, particularly when he realizes that without a college degree, there are many careers that won't be open to him.
But given your son's excellent track record to this point, I wouldn't be concerned about the year off. Some of the most successful people I know didn't go immediately into college out of high school.
The most important thing is that you continue to offer your son your love and emotional support, as well as gentle guidance when he requests it.
Thanks for writing, Becky. If you have a question for me about family issues or Christian living, click the "Questions" link on the Culture Connection page.
