Have you ever formulated a plan, that at the time seemed incredibly wise but ended up being an idea that you are sure had to have been influenced by a lack of sleep or a brief moment of insanity?
Well that was me when recently I scheduled back to back sinus surgeries for myself and my daughter. Even more ridiculous is that I KNEW what I was getting in to – it was my second go at the surgery. I've decided however that much like your brain works with pregnancy, over time you forget about the pain and only remember the joyous outcome. I forgot about my brain on pain meds, the anesthesia that takes days to wear off and the restricted activity that would keep me down…until the time drew near.
You would think based upon the above scenario that I would have willingly accepted the offers from friends and families to support us during this crazy time, but I didn't. Here is what I've come to realize: In my quest to be self-reliant and independent (two badges of honor I wear), I have robbed my daughter of the opportunities to learn the importance of giving and receiving kindness. In pursuit of fortifying two values I deemed important, I all but wiped out the chance of learning about kindness.
Kindness is a trait that all of us will need to be able to freely give and receive at one point or another in our lifetime, but if we shut ourselves off from allowing others to give to us, how will our children ever learn this trait that has no doubt carried many of us through tremendously difficult times.
In those moments, I denied my daughter the opportunity to see the joy that comes from giving to others, the burdens lifted from a $5.00 hamburger or an errand run. She wasn't able to sit down next to me as we wrote notes of thanks and talked about how awesome it was to have so many people in our lives that really cared. My choices kept her from being inspired to pay that kindness forward to others also struggling.
So where do you fall on the kindness scale? Do you purposefully identify ways to extend kindness to others? Do you allow people to show kindness to you or do you politely thank them but decline their offers. We need a more kind community and it doesn't happen by accident.
I challenge each of us to be more open to receiving kindness – it is one of the greatest ways to teach our children its importance. A new app called Zingity starts in a few weeks and is designed to help kids develop good character by just being kids.

Students achieve more when their parents expect more and research overwhelmingly indicates that parent involvement in their child's education not only positively affects student achievement, it contributes to better performance of schools overall. Yet both schools and parents struggle with how to make that involvement happen.
Both students and schools benefit when parents are involved in education. One study, conducted by the Southwest Educational Development Laboratory found that students whose parents are actively involved in their education are more likely to attend school regularly, adapt well to school, take advanced classes and excel academically. These students also tend to have better social skills, and they are more likely to graduate from high school and attend post-secondary school. Benefits to schools include more successful academic programs and schools that are generally more effective.
School Support of Parent Involvement
Schools must actively recruit and support parent involvement if they want it. School leaders can invite parents to special events, informational workshops, and even school lunches. Teachers should provide regular communication to parents in terms of grade reports, behavior updates and class events. Teachers need to give positive and negative feedback about student grades and behavior and also offer productive options for what parents can do to be more involved.
Types of Involvement
One of the best ways for parents to be involved in education is to communicate regularly with teachers. Think of yourself as the teacher's partner in managing your child's education. Monitor your child's homework and school projects, and make them a top priority in your schedule. Another way parents can be involved is to volunteer at the school. All kinds of opportunities exist, such as helping in the classroom, conducting fundraisers and assisting with extracurricular activities. Attending extra curricular activities like sporting events, concerts, and award ceremonies is another great way to show your support.
According to the U.S. Department of Education, the rate of parent involvement drops to 55 percent by the time children reach age 14, and it continues to drop as children progress through high school. It may be that programs specifically tailored to involving parents at school tend to decline as the students get older. One parent related that the older his children were their schools seemed to want money rather than parents involvement. Another reason, may have to do with the stigma that teenagers are embarrassed by their parents. To overcome this begin when they are young to develop a strong relationship and communication standard with them. Then, when they are older, if they do prefer you not to attend a certain function, they will still know and understand your love and expectations for them, even in your absence.

It is reported by the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) around 1 in 68 American children are on the autism spectrum.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects over 2 million individuals in the U.S. and tens of millions worldwide. Studies also show that ASD is four to five times more common among boys than girls. An estimated 1 out of 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls are diagnosed with autism in the United States.
Autism Speaks, the newest charity that can be found at MyJobChart.com, is in the forefront when it comes to increasing autism awareness and funding research.
ASD and autism are both general terms for a group of complex disorders of brain development. These disorders are characterized, in varying degrees, by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors.
Each individual with autism is unique. Many of those on the autism spectrum have exceptional abilities in visual skills, music and academic skills. About 40 percent have average to above average intellectual abilities. Indeed, many persons on the spectrum take deserved pride in their distinctive abilities and "atypical" ways of viewing the world.
Others with autism have significant disability and are unable to live independently. About 25 percent of individuals with ASD are nonverbal but can learn to communicate using other means.
Autism Speaks' mission is to improve the lives of all those on the autism spectrum. For some, this means the development and delivery of more effective treatments that can address significant challenges in communication and physical health. For others, it means increasing acceptance, respect and support.
Some of the many resources you can find at Autismspeaks.org:
Apps that have been found helpful
Local and national events
Up to date advocacy news
Many online and other resources
The latest research and initiatives
New and ongoing clinical programs
Useful tool kits

There's a recent trend to live simpler and easier lives.
A little curious about how others do it, I did a little research on my own and ran across several stories. One was about a woman that only possessed 1 pair of jeans and 2 shirts. Another woman was in the process of making changes in her families places of work, school, and markets in an attempt to get rid of their only car. And have you ever heard about having a buy-nothing Christmas? There's a thought, or should I say, a rebellion?
Dave Bruno, author and advocate for simple living has an idea as well. It's called "The 100 Thing Challenge".
Bruno wanted to live a simpler, more meaningful life. His solution was to narrow his personal belonging down to, yep, you guessed it, just 100 things.
What followed was a worldwide movement of people taking on the challenge to pick out just 100 things to live with – and give the rest of their possessions away.
Bruno says it wasn't about the numbers though. It was about becoming a person that could shake off the constraints of consumerism. A person that was free to follow a satisfied life.
Comments showed that people believed that the challenge made them live more fully… giving them more time and space to do the things that were most important to them. And that the challenge was inspirational and helped them improve their lives.
I have to be honest. I don't know if I'm up for "The 100 Thing Challenge", but I am all about figuring out how to simplify life.
I'm convinced that we do not need stuff to be happy. And although I'm not quite ready to reduce to the extreme that Bruno did, I'm looking forward to reducing to an extent.
If for no other reason than to change my attitude toward "stuff".
How do you feel about simplifying your life and to what extreme are you willing to go?

We all want to protect our environment. Every day people affect the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the land we live on. How do we affect it? By our choices. Our choices determine how much trash and pollution we make.
What can we do to make sure that the world we live in stays beautiful? A whole lot, actually.
1. Reduce – Try to reduce the amount of resources that you use and throw away. Take shorter showers, turn off the lights, and unplug items when not in use. A big resource that we can try to safe more of, gasoline. Try driving less. Ride your bike or walk to the corner store or to school.
2. Reuse – I'm sure you've heard the term "throwaway society". We are generally too fast to throw something away and buy something new to replace it. Instead we can reuse grocery bags, donate unwanted items so others can benefit from them, use both sides of the paper etc. Reusing items just makes sense. It means one less thing that needs to be produced, packaged, and shipped to the store. It also means less for you to buy at the store. Did you know that during 2006, the city of San Francisco spent $500,000 on pre-packaged water bottles? Crazy! Lets all do our part by reusing our resources instead of throwing them away.
3. Recycle – Recycling has never been easier. Today, most of us can sit back in our lazy chairs while a truck picks up our recycling in front of our house. By recycling bottles, cans, boxes, and more, you're reducing the amount of trash that goes into a landfill. Recycled goods go to a center where they can be broken down and later used for new bottles, cans, and paper. Did you know that even water can be recycled? Some communities take used water and clean it until it is safe and can be used for things like watering lawns.
4. Now Enjoy It! – The earth is a beautiful place. Go out into nature and enjoy it! Climb a mountain, watch the sunset, or just stop to smell the flowers on the side of the road. The other day I came to a screeching halt on the side of the road. The kids all asked me what was wrong. I jumped out and told them to follow. They thought I was crazy as we watched a centipede cross the road. Don't think you have to go far either. Before you travel for hours to see different sights, take a look in your own backyard. While you're at it, plant a tree or a garden and enjoy yourself.
I'm sure if you examine your days, you'll be able to notice several areas where you can be more diligent about being green. Remember, even a little can help tons.

Among parents in the United States, what's the number one health concern for their children? Hint, it's not drug abuse or smoking. It's obesity.
Obesity among children is causing a broad range of health problems, that in the past, weren't seen until adulthood. These include high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, elevated blood cholesterol levels, negative body image, depression, and low self-esteem.
The former Surgeon General, Richard Carmona, stated the severity when he said, "Because of the increasing rates of obesity, unhealthy eating habits, and physical inactivity, we may see the first generation that will be less healthy and have a shorter life expectancy than their parents."
Here are the facts:
I don't know about you, but personally, I am shocked at those numbers.
How, as a society, did we become so leisure about our health?
I suggest we make a goal this summer to become more active, eat healthier, and live longer.
So, what can we do about it?
1. More Physical Activity – Encourage 1-2 hours of physical activity throughout the day, including outside play when possible. And exercise with your children if possible.
2. Less Screen Time – For children age two and older, the amount of screen time recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics is 1-2 hours per day and for children under 2 they suggest no screen time at all.
3. Eat Healthy – Serve fruits and vegetables at every meal. Eat more green foods and limit fried foods.
4. Limit Sugary Drinks – Encourage your child to drink water throughout the day.

Let's all get up off the couch, get healthy, and be happy!

Another trip to the dentist and two more cavities to fill. As a parent you probably feel frustrated. After all, you are doing your part. You take them to their 6 month cleanings and check-ups, you try to watch the sweets, and you nag them every morning and evening to brush. Only to have more dentist bills to pay at the next check-up.
If only they wanted to brush, maybe it would be an easier fight.
Don't despair. My friend, Dr. Brandon Cluff, has some suggestions on how to get your kids to be more willing to take care of their teeth (and lower your dentist bills).
1. Make their toothbrush a toy. When kids are young, start them out by just playing with their toothbrush. Let them chew and suck on it and become comfortable with it in their mouth.
2. Let them pick out their own brush and character toothpaste. They may not have a choice on whether or not to brush, but by giving them a choice of what flavor of toothpaste and color of brush to use, they still have some say in the process.
3. Make it fun. Play silly games or sing songs while brushing. How about a game of "Get the Sugar Bugs!"?
4. Brush at the same time. Kids love to copy you. Brush your teeth at the same time and show them how to get all the sides and angles by turning your brush or your hand.
5. Compliment them. Become the "Tooth Inspector" and tell them what a good job they are doing, how well they brushed their tongue, or how minty their breath smells.
6. Give them rewards for brushing their teeth. (But not candy! That kind of defeats the purpose.) Fill up a sticker chart or make it part of their daily chores and reward them accordingly.

7. Educate them. Sometimes you'll have better luck getting through to them if the direction doesn't come from you. Read books, watch videos, and have others (like grandpa who can take out his dentures in front of them) encourage them to take better care of their teeth.
Do you struggle to get your kids to brush their teeth? Or maybe you've found something that works for you? Share your comments below and let us know.

Boys in general are loud, active, physical, and competitive. We tend to try and prevent this behavior, fearing that it will get out of hand. But active behavior is not necessarily aggressive behavior. Many times we punish a boy, just for being a boy. If supervised and taught properly, their roughhouse play can be wholesome and even a positive outlet for their energy.
Provide a Positive Role Model
The best way to raise a great son is for that boy to have a great father. "Men are extremely important in giving boys messages about being a man." Says Geoffrey and Michael Thompson, in "The Search for Masculinity: Growing Up Masculine". If there is no father in the home, maybe a grandfather, or an uncle, or even a teacher can be a positive role model for him.
Stop Bad Behavior Immediately
If their play is hurting someone, stop it immediately. Set limits. There is no reason or excuse to hit, bite, or push. And "stop" means stop. Help them find better alternatives to express themselves. Encourage verbal expressions of their feelings. Always follow through with consequences. And punish without being abusive.
Give them Physical Outlets
Let them work. Give them chores to complete. It will build their character and their self-esteem (and release some extra energy). Trust them and give them responsibility and then praise them when they follow through. Help them grow by giving them a job that is a little bit bigger than they think they can handle.
Encourage Education
Many problems can be averted by reading and writing. Find areas that they are interested in and encourage them to study them. Support them at school and motivate them to further their education past high school.
Be Positive
Say "yes" more than you say "no". Give them the space that they need and encourage them to grow. Catch them being good and praise them as often as possible. But most of all, relax, have fun, love him, and show him that you love him!

We want our daughters to grow into happy, healthy, beautiful, contributing, women. We want them to walk tall and stand for something. We want them to be smart and self-sufficient. We want them to be better than us. So what can we teach them as young girls that will mold them into strong and capable women?
Show her that you love her…just the way she is.
First and foremost, tell and show your daughter that you love and appreciate her. Praise her not only for what she does but who she is. Let her know that she is a good person. If she feels loved and supported she will have a more positive self image. Do things with her that she likes to do. And expect great things from her.

Shape her Character
Teach her that she is strong and capable and she can do whatever she wants to do and be whomever she wants to be. Teach her to respect herself. Girls that don't respect themselves have a harder time withstanding peer pressure and standing up for themselves. Help her become involved in doing good by serving. Abraham Lincoln said, "When I do good, I feel good."
Click here to read a related article: Critical Lessons to Teach Your Children
Help her be Self-Sufficient
Teach her to cook and clean and take care of herself and her surroundings. Teach her the value of hard work. Teach her the value of money. Teach her how to run a household.
Emphasize Education
You've heard, "When you educate a girl, you educate a nation." Teach your daughter to read and write and spell as well as possible. Help her to develop good study habits and a yearning for knowledge. Encourage her to be creative.
De-Emphasize Appearance
Counter negative media with honest messages about her body. Help her establish healthy eating and exercise routines. Don't compare her to anyone else. Teach her good grooming skills and good manners. Help her confidence grow by accentuating her best features. And everyone looks better with a smile on their face. Be more beautiful by being happy.
Teach her to be Emotionally Stable
Girls are often more emotional than boys. This can be good because it helps them be more expressive, but it can lead to negative "drama". Help them to have a positive but realistic approach to life. Help them learn to reason and use their common sense. Help them learn discipline and self control, especially when it comes to mood swings.

You often hear that the biggest investment you will ever make is buying a home. That's because it's an emotional experience and involves very critical eyes. Hours of looking on the internet or driving around to see different neighborhoods takes a lot of time and energy and it should because it's a big decision. In fact, in 2010 the median home price in the U.S was $222,000. That's a lot of dough to plunk down at once. This is a long-term investment to provide shelter for your family and comes with an expectation if you care for it and improve it you will see appreciation in its value.
Then comes the second largest purchase – your car. According to the National Automobile Dealers Association, the average price of a new car sold in the United States is about $30,000; the average used car is $11,850. Once again, hours searching on the internet, test-drives and time at the dealership quickly adds up. Buying a car is a spendy proposition, but it's not anywhere near your biggest investment, none the less you have expectations for it to provide your family with reliable transportation for years to come and be worth something when it's time to replace it.
Most people overlook their biggest investment. It's one that is larger and more important than either of the previous two investments and it doesn't come with granite countertops or leather seats.
Your Biggest Investment
Your biggest investment is your KIDS! According to a 2011 USDA report, it costs $295,000 to raise a kid from birth to age 17. And that's per kid! The sad news is that doesn't even cover the cost of college. For an in-state 4-year program you can tack on another $68,524 or $154,356 for a private college. Where you live, your income level and the educational institution of choice can all make those numbers even bigger.
This doesn't mean we shouldn't have kids. It simply means that we need to put these costs into perspective and start treating the price of kids with more attention to detail and a sharper eye on expectation for return.
So, what expectations do you have for the BIGGEST investment you will ever make?
As a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) I have spent my entire career counseling people on how to carefully select investments, pay close attention to them and make sure their portfolios are tweaked for maximum return. My clients have come to expect this type of attention to detail.
If you are like most Americans you don't have a plan for the investment of your kids because it's not a one-off transaction. Instead the cost is stretched over a 17-year period, and THAT'S THE PROBLEM. It's money slipping slowly through our fingers over time. Buying a new pair of pants or another trip to get a haircut – it all slowly adds up.
So now that we know kids are the biggest investment you'll make, how do you take charge to get the most out of your investment?
1. Make your kids aware
2. Make a conscious effort to share on big ticket financial items
3. Help them enjoy work and money
4. Don't cultivate entitlement, tie work to reward
5. Consistency counts
Make your kids aware
The days of keeping hush-hush when it comes to finances are over. Ninety-five percent of parents feel it is their responsibility to teach their kids about money, but only 26 percent feel comfortable doing it. To reverse this trend, start with some small steps. Let the kids know how much the electric bill is next month. I did this last summer when our electric bill was over $700. Yes, we live in Arizona and the A/C seems to never turn off in August! However, by letting them know how much it costs, they were more mindful about not leaving the doors open and how they can do their small part to save.
Also, let them know how much it costs to fill the gas tank of the family car. In April of 2011, the average amount American households spent on gas was $368.09. That's just one month. All that running around from soccer practice to school adds up. There's a good chance you will get some raised eyebrows when you expose those figures. Kids are smart.
Share on big-ticket items
Make a conscious effort to discuss big-ticket financial items. Don't be afraid to discuss your home's value and mortgage with your kids. They can look it up on Zillow anyways, so forget the "50's" mentality of "we don't share family money matters with our children". Start sharing this financial information with them and empower your kids. Don't leave them in the dark. Kids can feel when there is stress in the home about money, so have a sit-down meeting and discuss openly the issues and work as a family on how to get through the hard times. Maybe it's sacrificing the skiing trip or skipping dinner out on the weekends.
Once their eyes are opened to the costs of running a family and what it looks like to budget you'll be surprised at how quickly they start learning how to make better money decisions. You'll also start hearing things like, "Dad, that is a total rip off! Let's not buy it here when we can get it cheaper somewhere else!". These skills will last a lifetime. Get your kids to participate.
Help your kids enjoy work and money
Getting through college takes a lot of hard work, but studies show it pays off. Median income for someone with a bachelor's degree is $54,756. Compare that to $33,176 for a high school diploma. If you do the math on this over a 35 year career that's an additional $740,000. For a master's degree you can add another $400,000 over a career. That's a pretty good return on some hard work if learned early. If kids are held to a high standard when it comes to helping around the house, being diligent in their studies or staying on top of their piano lessons they will learn to enjoy work. Will you hear some complaining along the way? Definitely, but it will be worth it.
Don't cultivate entitlement, tie work to reward
When it comes to paying kids for their work, there is plenty of debate. The bottom line is that you can call it what you want: allowance, commission, work-pay, whatever… but it needs to be tied to family contribution and it needs to teach your kids something about work ethic. Giving allowance not tied to contribution only encourages the entitlement mentality. We do not need any more of that! Adults work to earn money so kids should learn this expectation as well. Have you ever been on a job interview where the employer offers you a salary and then never expects you to show up to work? It's not reality and your kids should learn that early.
Don't feel like you have to pay your kids for every little thing they do around the house. Of course some things are expected, but if it is above the call of duty make it worth it. As they work and you pay them for it, it will create meaningful conversations about contribution, hard work and how to make good financial decisions with their money, such as how much they should save, spend or share. Give your kids some jobs around the house where they not only earn a little money, but they can develop a good work ethic. Don't let your kids sit around and plays video games all day and never learn how to contribute and become responsible. It's a life lesson and one parents are responsible for teaching. Get them off the couch and let their potential blossom! If you let them sit on the couch don't be surprised if they're still there when their 30! There is no better place to teach good money management lessons then in your own home.
Consistency counts
Don't be hard-core one day and the next let everything slide. Stay strong and don't give in. Once your kids learn your new resolve they begin accepting it as part of the routine where accountability and responsibly become a normal expectation. Repetition is the key to learning. Start them early with chores and family activities around the house that will help them learn how to be smart with money from a young age. This will pay big dividends down the road for them personally and for society as a whole.
Your kids truly are the BIGGEST investment you'll ever make. The return on that investment won't be seen immediately, but you'll see glimmers of it as they grow. They'll gain personal accountability, confidence and financial freedom. When kids leave home and know how to live within their means and not get suckered into bad financial products like high fee bank accounts and credit cards with hidden charges, when they know how to budget and talk about finances you'll know without a doubt your investment paid off. We must pay more attention to our kids and inspire them to reach their potential. Raising your kids has a big price tag, but it's worth every dime, especially when you start to see your return on investment and the responsible citizen they've become.

Is dessert the fun food in your house? Do your kids skim over their meal just to get to dessert? Or, maybe they just shove everything around (or feed some to the dog) to make you think that they have eaten enough of the "healthy stuff" so you'll agree that it's time for dessert? What can you do to shift the scale and have happy vegetable eaters at your table?
It is recommended that half of your child's plate be filled with fruits and vegetables. Studies show that 22% of kids ages 2-5 meet these requirements, 16% of 6-11 year olds, and only 11% of kids ages 12-18 eat their recommended amount of fruits and vegetables a day.
Here are some ideas of ways to encourage your kids to eat more vegetables.
Make it Fun – Prepare fruits and vegetables in a fun way. Cut them into shapes with cookie cutters or make pictures out of them. Give your produce silly names like "mini trees" for broccoli. And anything mini, is always fun to eat. Here are a couple of sites that I thought had some neat and fun ways to prepare your fruits and vegetables.
Let Them Help – Kids love to go shopping. Let them pick out the firmest cucumbers or the best smelling cantaloupe. And when you get home, let them pick out what's for dinner and help prepare it as well. They may have more satisfaction eating it when they put some work into preparing it.
Explain What Healthy Is – Give them the details of the food you are eating. I bet you'll be surprised exactly what they are able to understand as far as calories, fat, and sugar content. Make it clear why we try to eat more healthy and what happens to your body when you don't.
Make it a Game – Have a goal to introduce one new food every week. Prepare it in different ways and see what everyone likes the best.
Make Healthy an Easy Option – Single serving packages of chips and cookies are usually the first to disappear from my pantry because they are easy to grab and go. Instead prepare bags of cut vegetables, applesauce, or fruit cups that can easily be grabbed and they are more likely to be eaten as well.
Eat Healthy Yourself – Kids tend to mimic their parents. If they see you eating healthy, it probably won't be long until they are trying…and liking what you eat.
And if all else fails.
Hide Them! – Be creative with the addition of hidden fruits and vegetables in your meals.

All parents know that discipline is important. And at the same time, we've all seen our children rebel because of our over protectiveness. I can look back at life, especially as a teenager, and remember how restrictive I thought my parents were. Now I find myself, imposing the same rules on my children and I can see them push back just like I did. Is there a balance to be found between correction and love, and if so how do you find it?
Experts say that for every time you correct a child you should show them at least five expressions of love, warmth, and affection to counteract the discipline. That means that every child needs five times as much love, support, appreciation, and encouragement as strictness, regulation, control, and punishment.
I don't know about you, but I'd have to say that the show of love in my house is lacking according to that ratio. How are you doing when it comes to telling your kids that you love them? Here are three words to remember when it comes to love:
Appreciation: Tell and show your children how much you appreciate them and the things they do. Be specific, and look for things that you can do for them to show your appreciation. Leave a note in their lunchbox or on the bathroom mirror. Give them a reward in the form of a treat or a special outing.
Approval: Tell and show your children that you approve and like what they do, and that you are proud of the things they accomplish. Sometimes this may be difficult if your child is going through a difficult stage. Try and find something, even if it is small, and mention that thing several times a day until you can find more things to show your approval of.
Affirmation: Tell and show your children that you love them no matter what they do or don't do. Affirm to them that they are of enormous worth and value to you. Let them know that no matter what choices they make, that your love is constant. Let them count on that.
These three ways of showing love may seem similar, and in some ways they are. But if you seek to separate the three and give your children appreciation, approval, and affirmation, they will be sure of your love. And the plus is, they will likely respond better when you do have to discipline them.

With the beginning of a new year comes the beginning of many things. Many people like to reflect on the previous year (or years) and see what has happened and where you are now in your life. Many people make New Year Resolutions. A resolution is a decision to do or not do something in order to accomplish a personal goal or break a habit.
What resolutions have you made? What resolutions have your children made? With the rise of discipline and behavior problems, childhood obesity, and drug abuse among our children the American Academy of Pediatrics has come up with 20 New Year Resolutions that you can encourage your child to make this new year.
I will clean up my toys and put them where they belong.
I will brush my teeth twice a day, and wash my hands after going to the bathroom and before eating.
I won't tease dogs or other pets – even friendly ones. I will avoid being bitten by keeping my fingers and face away from their mouths.
Kids, 5- to 12-years-old
I will drink reduced-fat milk and water every day, and drink soda and fruit drinks only on special occasions.
I will apply sunscreen before I go outdoors on bright sunny days. I will try to stay in the shade whenever possible and wear a hat and sunglasses, especially when I'm playing sports.
I will try to find a sport (like basketball or soccer) or an activity (like playing tag, jumping rope, dancing or riding my bike) that I like and do it at least three times a week!
I will always wear a helmet when bicycling.
I will wear my seat belt every time I get in a car. I'll sit in the back seat and use a booster seat until I am tall enough to use a lap/shoulder seat belt.
I'll be nice to other kids. I'll be friendly to kids who need friends – like someone who is shy, or is new to my school.
I'll never give out personal information such as my name, home address, school name or telephone number on the Internet. Also, I'll never send a picture of myself to someone I chat with on the computer without my parent's permission.

I will try to eat two servings of fruit and two servings of vegetables every day, and I will drink sodas only on special occasions.
I will take care of my body through physical activity and nutrition.
I will choose non-violent television shows and video games, and I will spend only one to two hours each day – at the most – on these activities.
I will help out in my community – through volunteering, working with community groups or by joining a group that helps people in need.
When I feel angry or stressed out, I will take a break and find constructive ways to deal with the stress, such as exercising, reading, writing in a journal or discussing my problem with a parent or friend.
When faced with a difficult decision, I will talk about my choices with an adult whom I can trust.
When I notice my friends are struggling or engaging in risky behaviors, I will talk with a trusted adult and attempt to find a way that I can help them.
I will be careful about whom I choose to date, and always treat the other person with respect and without coercion or violence. I will expect the same good behavior in return.
I will resist peer pressure to try tobacco, drugs or alcohol.
I agree not to use a cellphone or text message while driving and to always use a seat belt.

|Reviews for Glowing Imperfection
| Foggypebble chapter 1 . 12/10/2007
"since Anzu usually didn't snap and rant."
Oh, good Gosh... XD I see what you did there~
Anways, Serenity was thirteen/fourteen at the time, and that IS Japan.. so...yEAH, undoubtably legal.
And very fantastic ideas/grammer/plotting/general talent in writing; this is one of my favorite protectshipping fics, now!
| Time-Again chapter 1 . 1/2/2007
T.A Aweh! A pretty little ficlet definitely worth my time It was really good, I liked it. Definitely cute :)
| LadyBaisemon chapter 1 . 6/6/2005
Wow, um... I'm a little unsure of what to say. It's a pretty good ff, you have an interesting style, which works for the story but...
The thing with Joey and Kaiba seems... odd. It's an interesting ship, I've thought of it many times... but it's never been like that...
My objection to that part of your story may just be personal preference... though others may find that part confusing as well...
I don't know, I'll quit ramblimg now. I'm almost done.
I like the thing with Honda and Ryou, and Joey's sis getting married to Kenta (he's such a cool kid). It's good, you're style's good, it's a good story. I just wonder what Kaiba did. That's all. I'll now shut up.
| Sailor Comet chapter 1 . 11/9/2004
the way honda has to listen to jou's bitching is neat because i think it touches home for people. XD
| Yami No Marik chapter 1 . 10/12/2004
I normally don't support Honda/Ryou but the style of this fic was really good and actually got me to read and review..and it's rare I review a fic with Honda paired with style in this fic was nice and quite original.
| Nanashio chapter 1 . 9/27/2004
Onto favorites! mwahahaha, a Honda/Ryou, and I couldn't be happier! It's perfect! A wonderful fic! I applaud you *applauds* and I say thanks for writing this!
Thank you _ Great fic!
| adele4 chapter 1 . 9/25/2004
Really good. But somehow I was depressed by it, probably because they're all older, and things changed so much (or maybe not even so much, but still... little Shizuka getting married *cries*), and you made it all so real and believable.
The RyouxHonda was sweet and... I don't know, so simple yet so special (hem...); and I particulary liked the parts about Honda's and Joey's friendship.
| radiany chapter 1 . 9/25/2004
...That was amazing.
No, I'm absolutely serious. This is one of your BEST pieces. And it's not because of the SetoJou, I swear. It was calculating, true, so pure (so pure), and so REAL.
I cannot express my joy.
This is so a favourite. Really.
I love you, eternally.
| Killian chapter 1 . 9/24/2004
That's so true - perfection really is over-rated.
| KAC chapter 1 . 9/23/2004
YEAH! A beautiful fic about Honda and Ryou! Thank you for writing it. This is an interesting version of the lives of Yugi and the gang after the official end of Yu-Gi-Oh! I thought you made it pretty accurate (after all, Ryou was standing next to Honda a lot in the last few pages of the last comic... heh, there had to be something for them) I like the moral at the end of the story - that perfection is obsolete as long as happiness was prevalent. Very nice.
| crazy one chapter 1 . 9/23/2004
oh wow. this one is going in my favorites.
| Snow Angel chapter 1 . 9/23/2004
*Claps enthuistically * Bravo, honda. Bravo.
...Umm...Ya know, just a guess, but I'd say that over twenty is elligable for marrige...
| Alian lost chapter 1 . 9/23/2004
Not bad! I don't really support Honda/Ryou (ok, I don't support it at all, not even a teeny bit), but I do like the ficlet's style. The narration was especially...captivating, I guess.
| WolfBane2 chapter 1 . 9/23/2004
Aw, sweet!
Random Person: You say that to every one-shot you like.
...Shut up!
Anyway, I love odd yaoi pairings on this show, esepically if they have Ryou in them. But my exception is Ryou/Serenity. Mad love for Ryou/Serenity! Alas, there are too few R/S fics. But extremely cool one-shot!
| Amarin Rose chapter 1 . 9/23/2004
Aw... *Sniff* Those last two lines were just so...so...
I can't think of a word. 'Perfect' doesn't seem right in this situation. 'Profound', maybe?

Toledo bash honors veterans
ALLAN DETRICH / BLADE Enlarge
Motorcycle spokes sparkled, speakers blared, and beer fizzed under a pristine blue sky yesterday at the first Veterans Bash in Promenade Park.
The event, sponsored by Clear Channel Communications Inc., was dedicated to the U.S. veterans who have risked their lives defending this country.
"Everyone in town knows at least one veteran through family or friends, and they deserve to get some appreciation," said Amy Jo Simon, Clear Channel's local events and promotions director.
The ingredients for the event were simple. Three local rock bands, food and beer, a motorcycle show, and a headline act by AC/DC tribute band Hells/ Bells. By midafternoon only a hundred or so people had gathered, but organizers were expecting many more later in the evening.
Richard Pontious, "Poncho" to his friends, came with a Harley Davidson and a bundle of Vietnam War stories he was happy to share with passers-by.
"I think it is very important we remember that it's the veterans who keep our country free," he said. Draped loosely over his shoulders was a leather vest with a drawing of the Vietnam memorial in Washington on the lapel.
Mr. Pontious was in his early 20s when he arrived in Vietnam in July, 1968, serving with the 25th Infantry Division before he was wounded on Aug. 19, 1968, nearly losing his right leg. He eventually spent a year and a half in Walter Reed Army Medical Center for treatment of his leg wounds. It hurts occasionally, but it doesn't keep him from riding or enjoying events like the Veteran's Bash. Proceeds from the Veterans Bash will go to the Order of the Silver Rose, an organization that aids American service personnel affected by Agent Orange during the Vietnam War.
Other guests came for the music. Brian Malkowski and his girlfriend, Melissa Baker, both of Cincinnati, were in town for the Fourth of July holiday.
Sitting on the grass in front of the main stage, they listened to Toledo band Hughrock.
"It's a beautiful day, the sun's shining, and we're having a good time," Mr. Malkowski said. "I have been in the mood for classic rock for the last few days and that is exactly what they are playing."

Welcome To PedSource: Pediatric News, Events, and Community
PCC wants to assure all our practices that any client system vulnerabilities associated with the newly discovered Shellshock computer bug should be resolved today.
We're thrilled to report that PCC has earned 2011 Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Prevalidation from The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).
Four PCC practices in North Carolina now have free, on-the-spot access to the benefit information of their Medicaid patients, thanks to PCC's participation in the state's enhanced eligibility and claim status program.
As a PCC practice, you can be confident that your EHR will be ICD-10-ready on Oct. 1. How far along your payers, clearinghouses and other third party vendors are in preparing for the new code set is another story, but one we also need to stay on top of.

Some assembly required: Nature's instruction booklet for planetary migration
We once thought planets formed peacefully in situ in their natal disks and subsequently followed their orbits like clockwork. However, there is growing evidence that the typical planetary system forms with "some assembly required" and undergoes a dynamical rearrangement through planetary migration processes. The nature of this migration remains debated, in particular whether the migration is caused by smooth planet-disk interactions or violent multi-body interactions. Here I present work toward understanding Nature's instruction booklet for planetary migration in extra-solar planetary systems and our own solar system.

West Allis - Caterina's Ristorante has been serving up Italian staples for three decades.
The fine-dining Italian restaurant at 9104 W. Oklahoma Ave. continues as a family business, with its founders employing their children, as well as their children's spouses.
Tony Ingrilli Jr. said the keys to its success are good food, a cozy atmosphere and personal service, adding that the restaurant has become known for its hearty portions, made-to-order meals and its complimentary antipasto tray.
Tony took over his parents' restaurant in 2005.
His father, Antonio (Tony) Sr. came to Milwaukee from Sicily in 1964 and began making pizza at age 17. By the time he was 24, he had opened his first restaurant, Ingrilli's Villa, specializing in Italian entrees and pizza. Tony and his wife, Kathy, went on to open an Italian specialty delicatessen, becoming one of the first local businesses to make and sell frozen pizzas. Their pizza and products were sold in grocery stores throughout southeastern Wisconsin.
From there, Tony and Kathy opened Caterina's Ristorante on Nov. 24, 1982, only days before Kathy's birthday. The restaurant is named for her.
To mark its 30th anniversary, Caterina's is offering specials throughout November.

Leader: President Truong Tan Sang
Government: Communist state
Population: 93.3 million (9.9 million Christians)
Main Religion: Buddhism
Persecution Level: Severe
Source of persecution: Communist oppression
Vietnam is one of the few remaining countries in the world following a communist ideology. Consequently, authorities still perceive Christianity as a foreign influence and Christians as Western agents. The regime is based on Marxist-Leninist doctrine and Ho Chi Minh's thoughts. The publication and distribution of Christian materials is difficult and highly restricted. Work among children and youth is not officially restricted, but monitored and youth camps and trainings can be disturbed. The level of violence increased in 2014. Several church buildings as well as houses of Christians were destroyed and more than 10 Christians were sentenced to jail.

The purchase of the shares that are paid as remuneration will take place within the next five (5) trading days following the decision by the Annual General Meeting. If the required amount of shares cannot be purchased during the specified period in accordance with applicable rules and regulations, the part of the annual remuneration to be paid in shares which could not be purchased can be paid in cash. In addition, it was decided that remuneration will be paid for the work performed within the committees of the Board of Directors so that the remuneration is EUR 4,000 per year for the Chairman of a committee and EUR 2,000 per year for each member of a committee. Remuneration for committee work will be paid entirely in cash. Neither the annual remuneration nor the remuneration for committee work is payable to the members of the Board of the Directors who are employed by the Company. Authorized public accountants Ernst & Young Oy with authorized public accountant Bengt Nyholm as the main responsible auditor was elected as the auditor of the company. Decision on authorization The General Meeting decided to authorize the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of shares, options and other special rights, in one or several issues, so that the total number of new shares may be 12,600,000 at the maximum. Based on the authorization, the Board of Directors may decide on the issuance of shares to the shareholders according to the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription rights as well as in a directed issuance of shares or stock options or other special rights in deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription rights in case the deviation is justified by a weighty financial reason for the company, such as financing of an acquisition, other arrangement concerning the business of the company or development of its capital structure, or incentive to the company's personnel. The Board of Directors is authorized to decide on other terms and conditions related to the share issues and to the issuance of option or other special rights. The authorization is in force until the end of the 2014 AGM. This authorization supersedes the authorization decided by the AGM in the previous year.

The Critical Issues Affecting Asia
January 22, 2014
More than half of the planet lives in Asia. Six of the 10 largest nations in the world are in the Asia Pacific, and the region is playing an increasingly important role in the global economy, international security, and the world's collective efforts to advance human development. The dynamism of Asian economies contributed greatly to the global economic recovery, simultaneously lifting more than half a billion people out of poverty. Glittering cities and bustling ports bear testament to the so-called "Asian miracle" that has become the dominant narrative in economic and political analysis of recent years.

Capo for Mac offers song playback, speed alteration
updated 11:30 pm EDT, Wed April 22, 2009
Capo song altering app
SuperMegaUltraGroovy has unveiled Capo for Mac OS X, an application designed to help musicians learn to play their favorite audio tracks. The software slows down the speed of songs to help users play at a rate that is more comfortable. In addition to speed control, users can also adjust a song's pitch, in order to change their key or fine tune them to match the preferred instrument. Users can also set markers, and create loops to help go over specific areas of the songs without loosing their place.
Capo can be used by simply dragging songs straight from iTunes onto its icon in the Dock or any open Capo window. All settings changed in the program can be saved in Capo documents, to help users always keep their desired configuration. The markers that are used work as keyboard shortcuts which allow users to simplify marking versus, choruses, bridges, and other important points.
Capo is compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 or higher and available for an introductory price of $30, after which the price will be raised to $50. Users can also download a trial version that enables a 5-minute playback of each song, before the audio begins to degrade.

DirecTV has apologized to a victim of the Black Forest fire whose home burned to the ground and was told by a DirecTV agent that he would owe $400 for a satellite dish and two receivers destroyed in the blaze.
Jeremy Beach's home burned Tuesday, according to The Gazette, and when he started making calls to cancel trash pickup, utilities and other services, most companies were understanding. That was until he called DirecTV, he told The Gazette.
"I couldn't believe it (DirecTV's response)," Beach said. "I had lost everything, and they acted like they" didn't care.
DirecTV issued an unequivocal apology to Beach and his wife, who is 37 weeks pregnant with twins.
"The agent who spoke with Mr. Beach was wrong, and we have contacted the customer to apologize and assure him and his family that we will do everything we can to help them through this difficult time," DirecTV said in a statement.
DirecTV competitor Dish said Friday that affected customers can call 800-333-DISH to receive a pause in Dish service and billing, and that equipment fees for lost or damaged property would be waived, along with installation fees when a customer is ready to resume service.

Domainsbot.com Search Engine Add-on for Firefox
Submitted by Dino Manrique on Mon, 2007-03-26 12:52. domain | domain name | domainsbot | firefox | search engine | search engine optimization | seo
I recently went to Domainsbot.com to look for a domain name for a new website, and I was pleased upon reaching the home page to see that I was being offered a Search Engine Add-on for Firefox. This made the process of looking for an appropriate domain name for my site easier. I tried to find out where you can directly download the Domainsbot Search Engine Add-on, but couldn't find it -- searched for it in the Domainsbot.com site, and then at the Firefox Add-ons homepage. I guess Domainsbot.com, itself, automatically detects whether you have it or not. So to download the Domainsbot Search Engine Add-on, just go to the Domainsbot.com home page.

Postscript: Other Lands
If I can say so without arrogance and with due humility, my message and methods are indeed, in their essentials, for the whole world.
Jai jagat! -- Victory to the world!
No look at Gandhi's successors would be complete without at least a glance at some of the people and groups around the world who have been strongly influenced by him.
Among these are a number of United States organizations. The largest are the Fellowship of Reconciliation, made up of religious pacifists; and the War Resisters League, with a generally more secular, leftist membership.
These and allied organizations have been at or near the center of all the major nonviolent action movements that have shaken United States society since World War II: the disarmament movement of the late 1950s and early 1960s; the civil rights movement (supporting Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference); the antiwar movement of the '60s; the movement against nuclear power in the '70s; and the resurgent disarmament movement of the '80s.

Clustered NFS on DAS Storage
Created: 06 Dec 2013 • Updated: 08 Dec 2013
In the previous video introducing Flexible Storage Sharing within Storage Foundation Cluster File System 6.1, we discussed the technology, drivers, and differences between using shared SAN storage and internal or DAS storage in a CFS configuration.
In this video we walk step by step to create a Clustered NFS configuration using internal SSD drives in a VMWare environment. In less than 5 minutes, we can set-up a 2-Node cluster, create an NFS share, and mount that share on a client. This is done all without external storage configured, with full data and application redundancy, and the performance of internal SSD.

I am going to take a stab at this one, and I would suspect you have a ground(ing) problem. I don't know for sure what it will affect entirely, but the fact that it shuts down when placed into gear, would lead me to check the ground strap from the frame to the alternator, for breakage. If you have(had) a front engine mount that is split, the strap takes a lot of torsion. I have seen these straps fail from such action. I can't explain why it would cause all of your symptoms, but imagine it could be possible. What, if anything, had been done prior to these symptoms? If there are any repairs that have been previously performed(related or not), take those into consideration, that the condition could have been created. The way that this vehicle's ground path is run, leaves a lot of potential. Make sure the battery cables are tight both at the battery, and where the ground cable connects to the body near the battery, and also where it attaches at the body and goes to the alternator case.

Endowment is the foundation of the institution, ensuring
its continued vitality and providing a substantial
flow of funds to the annual operating budget that supports
our entire enterprise.
Sustaining the College's competitive position
as one of the nation's top undergraduate colleges
requires that we increase our endowment. The Campaign
will seek endowment gifts for four purposes: faculty
and academic support, student
financial aid, programmatic
initiatives, and unrestricted
For while the current level of Mount Holyoke's endowment is substantial by many
standards, it is just half that of some of our closest
An endowment fund can be established with a minimum commitment of $100,000, which can be fulfilled over a period of years (five is typical) and the execution of a signed agreement (the "deed of gift") between the donor and the College on how the income from the endowment will be spent. The gift is commingled with Mount Holyoke's endowment and mirrors the overall investment performance, but is separately unitized and tracked so that we can report to donors on how their particular investment performs over time. MHC's endowment spending rule calls for distributing between 4.5% and 5.5% of a twelve-quarter debt-adjusted average market value of the endowment. For more information on establishing an endowment, please contact MaryAnne Young, Vice President for Advancement, or call 800-MHC-GIVE.
According to the Princeton Review Guide's 2011 The Best 373 Colleges, MHC offers the best classroom experience in undergraduate education in the country.
