Family Traditions: our Holiday Card Tree
The holidays are here, and like everyone else, we're trying to get ready. We were decorating, and I thought I'd take advantage of that Hallmark moment, so I asked my kids (ages 16, 14 and eight) about their favorite family tradition.
Boys & Their Toys
by Amalah
Are toy guns an inevitable part of Christmas morning with little boys? Is it fruitless to fight them…or irresponsible not to?
Family Traditions: The "Pink" Christmas Tree
In a feat never before seen in my life, a three foot by two foot section of my Christmas tree turned pink this year.
It was my own fault really, on the day I was married I was given a Christmas ornament by my neighbors declaring 2001 to be our first Christmas together. A new tradition started when I opened that little crystal charm on a red satin ribbon, we were going to be Christmas ornament collectors.
Blooming Holidays FREE Printable Gift Tags & Wine Bottle Hangers
The holidays are upon us! Don't go out in the cold to shop for holiday wrap, stay at home and print out these gift tags, small enclosure cards and wine bottle hangers. Simply print them on card stock, cut around the dotted lines and go! Whether you celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas, or any other holiday, these cards will look beautiful adorning your packages.
Simplifying the Holidays
by Chris Jordan
I'll admit it. I struggle with this time of year. Striking a balance has never been easy for me. My list of things that I tell myself I "have" to do contains more things than can possibly be accomplished in 25 days, even if I gave up the rest of my life. Yet I feel enormously guilty for all of the things that get left by the wayside.
Handmade Holiday Stamps
Who doesn't love to play with rubber stamps? They are easy for all ages, low on mess, and instantly gratifying. The problem is stamps can be pricey and, no matter what, it's tough to find the perfect design. So, we teach you how to make our own.

#naisac 2015 Admin Unplugged: Choice is a good thing!Posted: February 27, 2015 Filed under: NAISAC 2015, Professional Development 1 Comment
When noon came on Thursday, it didn't take long to get over the fact that our Admin Unplugged session was in the immense Grand Ballroom B. Participants trickled in and began to write session topics (or vote for others) on the easels at the entrance.
After about 10 minutes, Liz facilitated an icebreaker so participates could meet and introduce themselves to three different people. While that was happening, Justine and I were tallying the votes and setting up the 5 different discussion tables.
The of topics of Scheduling, Teacher Evaluation, Head of School relationship with Admin Teams, Open Gradebooks, and Leadership Training were announced. We explained that attendees would choose one of the tables and have a 20-minute discussion surrounding that topic. It wasn't long before everyone was seated and the conversations were off and running. At the end of 20 minutes, participants could choose another table and have a conversation surrounding a different topic or stay at the table and continue with the discussion.
The hour flew by, and participants seemed comfortable sharing their knowledge and passions with each other. Choice is a good thing!
#naisac 2015: "Why Should More Parents Value Your School?"Posted: February 27, 2015 Filed under: NAISAC 2015, Professional Development Leave a comment
My 8am session on Thursday morning was "Why Should More Parents Value Your School?" Some great advice here from Richard Hardy from Concord Academy and Ben Edwards from The Art & Science Group.
Biggest takeaways:
"Culture eats strategy for breakfast."
"Don't take on research until you are ready to be: 1) introspective and 2) act on the results."

#naisac 2015: "Playgrounds, Parents, & Programs – Oh My! The Work of the Division Head"Posted: February 27, 2015 Filed under: NAISAC 2015, Professional Development 1 Comment
My first session at NAIS 2015 was a 3-hour workshop entitled: "Playgrounds, Parents and Programs- Oh My! The Work of the Division Head." It was engaging, relevant, and very informative.
Following an amazing presentation from three division heads at three different schools, the session included a "critical friends group" exercise used to unpack a challenging dilemma at our school. We were paired up and went through the process of pre-reflection, framing the dilemma, clarifying the dilemma, probing and discussing, making recommendations, and then reflecting on it. It was useful to have a peer listen, process, and then give feedback on something that was challenging for me. It was a great start to the conference!
Here are my public notes (tweets) and reflections on the session:
Another awesome #caisct Academic Technology Retreat!Posted: May 17, 2014 Filed under: Professional Development, Teaching and Learning 1 Comment
Each year, the CAIS Academic Technology Retreat never disappoints. It's filled with amazing, thoughtful, forward-thinking educators who debate, discuss and explore ways in which they can improve and enhance the learning experiences for their students. This year, our Keynote was Don Buckley. His topic was "Design and Maker Thinking." Don is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Tools at Schools. The focus of his presentation was to investigate the teaching and learning of design and maker thinking in schools. We thoroughly enjoyed his animated and engaging presentation and I, personally, loved his break-out session where we were challenged to design a wearable technology that would change the student learning experience as we know it.
Here are my tweets from my time at the retreat. (I needed to leave early due to commitments back at school.)
Here is a link to other tweets from the event.
Here is a link to our "App Smackdown." Feel free to add your favorite tool/app to it!
This tweet by Rush Hambleton is, by far, one of the most powerful things about this retreat, and one of the many reasons it's not to be missed each year. Thanks for another awesome, awesome learning experience!
Here are some additional photos from the event.
#NAISAC14: Opening General Session with John Chubb and Lyn HewardPosted: March 2, 2014 Filed under: NAISAC14, Professional Development 1 Comment
The official opening of NAISAC14 was filled with excitement and energy. John Chubb's first remarks as President were critically analyzed by everyone in the room. I was impressed with his tone and enthusiasm and liked what he had to say. And while I felt Lyn Heward's (COO and Creative Content Division Director for Cirque du Soleil) talk went on a bit too long, she offered some inspiring words on creativity and risk-taking. Both helped set the tone for the conference opening. I was a little disappointed, given the theme was "Dare to Explore and Discover" and we were so close to the Kennedy Space Center, that an inspiring talk from an astronaut was not on the opening agenda.
Here are my notes:
#NAISAC14: The Distraction Addiction w/ author Alex Soojung-Kim PangPosted: March 2, 2014 Filed under: NAISAC14, Professional Development 2 Comments
Although I couldn't stay for this entire session because I needed to set up for my presentation, Alex's talk was intriguing and I didn't want to leave. His book is now on my "to read" list. Being that I consider myself a self-proclaimed "multi-tasker," I really had a lot to listen to. I also admit that, since this session, I am more aware of the fact that I do hold my breath when my email is loading… and I know that I look at my phone more than 150 times a day. #beinghonest
Here are my tweets from this session:
#NAISAC14: Teachers UnpluggedPosted: March 1, 2014 Filed under: NAISAC14, Professional Development 1 Comment
Session leaders Jenni Swanson Voorhees, Chris Bigenho, Jill Brown, Liz Davis, Sophie Halliday and Linda Swarlis led us in an amazing conversation where WE got to choose the topics!
Here's the description from the conference blog:
"Connect with colleagues and join innovative conversations in this new participant-driven session for teachers. Based on the "unconference" format, this session offers you the opportunity to drive discussion topics, share knowledge and passions, and find solutions to problems. Learn from colleagues and share your expertise with others. After a fun introduction to the open session format, join conversations on topics that you choose."
The round table discussion I was involved in was entitled: "How to stop doing what we know we should not be doing." I have very few tweets from this session because it was hard to tweet, talk. and listen at the same time. I didn't want to miss anything that anyone in this circle was saying! We were all noting that we wished that there were more sessions of this type throughout the conference– as opposed to a "sage on the stage" model. Our own professional development should model what we want our classroom to look like!
My favorite tweet is the first one in this list! As a new person to the Lower School world, I couldn't agree with it more!

Roaring 2009 by shans2440Watch
©2011-2016 shans2440
alright so this one instead of a transfer this is a polaroid life which is basically you take the polaroid and you boil it until the top layer of the picture comes off of it and you lay it down on paper and roll it flat and let it dry and there you have it... i called it roaring 2009 because it remind me of the roaring 20s but i took it in 2009....
Ive never used the polaroid before. Interesting shot & textures filled with vintage. Where is at? NYC?
Salt Lake City Utah
Cool! Such lovely place to be, Wish I could go there sometimes. I love traveling. Thanks for sharing!!!
cool, I've never heard of the transfer technique. At first I thought you must have soaked some sort of cloth in chemicals.
haha yeah its super fun! and the picture you take and transfer to a polaroid turn kind of rustic looking
its definitely got that 20s feel. almost reminds me of a Syd Mead painting

When I was a child down in South Caroline
The Saturday sun went on down
My folks and sister would go and leave me home all alone
Goin' to that big square dance in town
Now my old radio would play that old opry show
So I never got lonesome or blue
I'd fall asleep in my chair and dream that I was right there
Just singing the whole night through
When my folks would come home
They'd be humming a song
Mama would smile and say child don't you know
There ain't a thing in this world
To make you fall in love girl like the San Antonio Stroll
Well, the day finally come when my mamma said, hun,
It's about time you came with us, as well
Oh, I had me a time, yes I danced all the night
Till they rang that old cracked-midnight bell
Then the lights went down low
The fiddler picked up his bow
And played something stately and slow
And my sister Ilene and her husband to be
They held hands and began to stroll
I've been away for a while
But it still brings a smile
When I think of the way that it goes
Oh now I'll sing it to you so we both can do that old San Antonio Stroll
Oh now I'll sing it to you so we both can do that old San Antonio Stroll

Just as speculation grew over what will become of the Palace on Bourke Street, and Pure Pop in St Kilda suffered more and more of a council squeeze, it was refreshing to get some good news. The Flying Saucer Club opened in Elsternwick on August 5, 2012, from the team behind Caravan Music Club out in Oakleigh. Expect classy, rootsy music aimed at over-25s in its candle-lit interior – the Revelators, with Joe Camilleri, James Black and Joe Creighton and kicked things off with a four-week Sunday residency.

Celebrity Chef Julieta Ballesteros Reveals Her Dietary Secrets
Chef Julieta is known for serving some of the richest cuisine you'll find in New York City. In her Chelsea "cocina refinada" Crema, the gourmet Mexican restaurant serves dishes with a French flair – including such delectable delicacies as foie gras tacos, a casserole of cheese and Mexican sausage (Quesos Flameados), and glazed Peking duck breast service with a potato cheese enchilada.
Yet, when one meets Chef Julieta, one of the first comments many guests exclaim is how can a Mexican chef be so thin? Despite the temptations of her food, she maintains her petite figure – enticing some patrons to want a bite of more than just her food.
Here Chef Julieta reveals her dietary secrets for the first time ever.
Her first tip: begin the day with grapefruit or lime juice. These two citrus favorites help jump start your metabolism, and are believed to help prevent fat absorption when eating during the day.
While working, Chef Julieta picks and samples – but never gorges or even properly eats. To ensure the standard of quality her fans have come to expect, she tests her many sauces and dishes while managing her kitchen. This grazing staves off hunger and gives her energy, while preventing any weight gain.
One of the most surprising tips is her regular cleansing regimen. Whenever Chef Julieta is not working (usually one or two days per week), she refrains from eating anything until the sun goes down. And then, she will only have steamed chicken and broccoli – with no salt and no sauce. On her days off, she also tries to catch up on her sleep – another factor closely associated with preventing fat gain. She will regularly sleep ten to twelve hours on her non-working days.
Her work-out plan includes many lifestyle choices that allow her to squeeze exercise into her busy schedule. Chef Julieta is a fan of her Shape-Up tennis shoes – wearing them around the city and to work in her kitchen also. She hits the gym twice weekly to do her sit-ups and squats, but carrying plates and cases of items at work is all she does to keep her upper body in shape. Whenever she can fit it in, she'll use the stairs instead of an elevator.
Finally, her favorite drink is a white liquor, such as vodka or silver tequila (100% Blue Agave, of course), with Equal, sparkling water, and a couple of squeezed lime wedges. The drink is sugar free – so the only calories come from the liquor – and has lime to again fight fat absorption. And stay away from beer. Chef Julieta developed a taste for it briefly, and ten pounds quickly stuck to her small frame. Six months of focus, working out, dieting, and almost no drinking later, she's sworn off beer for good!
ABOUT: Chef Julieta Ballesteros, from Monterrey, Mexico, trained at New York's French Culinary Institute. She fuses traditional Mexican cuisine with a beautiful French presentation. This Zagat listed celebrity chef has created a Michelin rated Chelsea hot spot that is refined and fun. Crema's interior plays with traditional Mexican colors and textures in a modern New York way. The original paintings on display were custom created for the space by the celebrated artist and mother of the chef, del Bosque.

This series of communications and resources funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation helps clinicians, clinical staff and administra-tors connect with community partners and resources for effective problem-solving in health care.
New: "Leaders Stepping out to Transform Health and Health Care" and "Sharing Knowledge and Using Data to Build Common Ground."
The series is designed to support conversations that identify problems and opportunities, develop a shared vision for connections with community partners, and build practical next steps. Learn more and access all the materials.
There is a systemic shift happening, a rethinking of health care's impact as it intersects with social factors. Health care contributes only 20 percent to the health of a population, while modifiable community and social factors are estimated to contribute 80 percent. The question is, in this context, what is the best path to accomplishing the Triple Aim – improved patient experience of care, affordability, and health of the population?
ICSI believes that working together – citizens, clinicians, and other community leaders – puts us in an excellent position to address this challenge and create meaningful change in health. By setting shared goals and finding ways to achieve them, together we can bring awareness to the issue and zero in on local priorities, bringing benefits to all. Through multiple partnerships and grants from both the Bush Foundation and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, ICSI is confronting this challenging issue.
Community Conversations
Held in 2013, these conversations further explored how to best engage citizens, community stakeholders and clinicians together around shared local issues and goals. Read more.
Resource Center
Explore the activities and resources that have informed our work in this area, including community conversations funded by the Bush Foundation, a white paper on measuring population health in Minnesota, and past Reinertsen Lectures. Read more.

Best People-Watching (2012)
An anarchist punk, a woman in a sexy dress, a musician who plays the guitar strings with pieces of yellow and red chalk, some chess players and a homeless man walk into a bar. That bar is Notsuoh, which is connected to the equally curious Dean's. It's a sleepy Tuesday night — not even a bustling weekend evening — and these folks have found themselves inside this gritty downtown hang housed in one of Houston's oldest commercial buildings. On weekends, add in some metal bands, alt-thinkers and tourists who have ventured over from Hotel Icon, and you're all set for amazing people-watching.

OFID considers grant financing to be an important instrument of development. As such, its grant program supports initiatives aimed at enhancing livelihoods by addressing challenges in areas such as education, energy poverty, food security, public health, water supply and sanitation, which may not be directly funded through other financing windows..
OFID's grant program includes technical assistance for small-scale social schemes, sponsorship for research and other intellectual pursuits, and emergency relief aid. Brochure outlining OFID's grant program
In addition, OFID has set up special programs that respond to the urgent and unique challenges presented by HIV/AIDS, Palestine and energy poverty. The latter is a particular priority and complements the financing provided through other mechanisms in support of OFID's Energy for the Poor Initiative.
As of December 31, 2014, OFID had provided some US$598.2m in outright grants across all programs, working with UN agencies and a host of international and national NGOs, among many other partners, to meet the needs of the vulnerable, marginalized and very poor.
In 2014, an aggregate US$25.1m was approved through OFID's various grant programs for a total of 61 operations across all developing regions of the world. In keeping with the institution's strategic focus, close to 40% of these resources were delivered in support of the water-food-energy nexus.

Making your own compost is one of the best things you can do for your garden. Barring the purchase of your composter, the resulting fertilizer and soil amendment is 100 percent free. Composting is a natural biological process that converts organic material into humus-like matter that gardeners refer to as black gold.
You can make your own backyard compost container from welded wire mesh, concrete blocks or wooden shipping pallets - anything in which you can form a pile of compost material that's roughly 3-5 feet across and no higher than 5 feet.
If you prefer to buy a bin, consider one with features that make turning the contents easier, thus speeding up the decomposing process.
Tools and Materials
- Compost bins (indoor and outdoor)
- Pitchfork
- Chopper or grinder to break down larger items, such as branches
- Hose or watering jug
Step 1. Mix it. Place the bin near your garden and back door. A small indoor bin is handy to use along with the larger one outdoors. Throw scraps into the indoor bin and, as it fills up, empty it periodically into the outdoor one. Compostable items such as kitchen scraps, tea bags, coffee grinds and grass clippings can be added to the bin; so can brown materials such as dried leaves, sawdust, straw, wood ash and the woody stalks of plants.
Step 2. Layer it. Layer materials high in carbon, including lawn clippings, chopped leaves, green plants and agricultural crop residues with materials high in nitrogen, such as manure, alfalfa meal, hay, paper products, sewage sludge and wood. Just about any organic material can be added to the bin, including food scraps, eggshells, tea leaves and coffee grounds. Never add chemically treated wood, diseased plants, human or pet waste, meat, bones, fatty foods or weeds. Add water regularly during the compost-building process to help get rid of air pockets.
Step 3. Turn it. You can begin to make compost in as little as a few weeks if you speed up the process by turning the pile with a pitchfork once a week and adding fresh manure. Mixing it allows oxygen into the center of the pile, encouraging the growth of bacteria and fungi, which break down organic material into simpler substances. Regularly turned organic matter will become finished compost in 4-8 months.
Step 4. Break it down. Compost is ready to be used when it is dark and crumbly and has an earthy smell. You can sift it to separate material that hasn't finished composting, but those pieces will continue to decompose in your garden. The smaller the pieces, the faster they will break down.
Step 5: Spread it. Once it's ready, work the compost into the soil to give it an organic boost before planting. Spread it on the soil's surface as mulch on flower beds and around the base of landscape plants. Compost may also be used as a top dressing for lawns or as an ingredient in potting mixes.

Ansonia's Alex Thomas to play in France
All Alex Thomas wanted was a chance to extend his football career.
The ex-Ansonia High standout tailback and 2012 Yale graduate now has one, signing with a team in southeastern France, the Thonon Panthers, who compete in the Fédération Française de Football Américain (FFFA).
The 5-foot-9, 200-pound Thomas, 23, one of two Americans on the squad, leaves Wednesday for training camp. The 10-game season begins in mid-February.
"I can definitely say that I am bigger and stronger than I've ever been," said Thomas. "I'm in great shape."
While specifics of the contract weren't disclosed, Thomas said all basic needs, such as housing, food, insurance and transportation, will be provided. He doesn't speak French, but is hopeful he will adapt quickly.
His Ivy League experience will come in handy.
"Attending Yale taught me about trying and being open to new things and taking on challenges," said Thomas on Thursday. "The Yale experience taught me to not stay complacent and remain in my comfort zone. I'm moving out of my comfort zone."
Thomas is also eager to travel overseas, something he did during two summers as an undergraduate, spending five weeks in Rome, Italy.
"That's the best part of it all," he said.
Thomas is interested in pursuing international business and relations, and feels this will give
See THOMAS, Page 6C
him an edge.
While Thomas is being brought in to play running back in a Wing-T offense, he is open to playing anywhere on the field, even on defense, for coach Larry Legault, a French-Canadian who has coached the team since 2005.
Thomas didn't play a single down of defense in high school and was strictly a tailback in college.
Leading Ansonia to two consecutive 13-0 seasons in 2006 and 2007, Thomas put himself in an elite category with Connecticut career records for rushing yards (8,279) and total points (747). He previously held state marks for career touchdowns (114), single-season rushing yards (3,596) and TDs (47), but all were broken recently by current Ansonia tailback Arkeel Newsome.
"Ansonia taught me about the tradition and the grind and to have the passion for football," said Thomas. "When you get there, you eat, breathe and sleep football. It's that mentality."
At Yale, Thomas rushed for 15 career touchdowns, including a career-best nine as a junior in 2010. In 26 career games, Thomas rushed for 1,729 yards.
Yale became a steppingstone, both athletically and personally. With the NFL and other professional pursuits not landing on his doorstep, Thomas is jumping at his chance.
He coached at Sacred Heart High this past season and had some interest from Italian League teams as well.
"Playing in Europe was something that I kind of set up over the past year," said Thomas. "I did not have a specific backup plan or had figured on what I wanted to do careerwise. This is a huge relief."

The typical Viking sword of the 9th and 10th centuries featured a long wide blade with a broad central fuller and two keen edges. The preferred stroke was a hard slash or chopping blow, so the point was fairly rounded but was just acute enough to be useful for thrusting. A simple guard with forward curving quillions was often utilized and combined with an equally utilitarian wooden handle that was covered with leather, bone, or even cast in brass. What really made the Viking Sword so distinctively recognizable from its contemporaries was its heavy 5 lobed pommel used to balance the long blade.
ñHand forged 1055 carbon steel, double-edged blade
ñHand polished to a brilliant lustre
ñLeather covered wood handle
ñSimple, yet elegant, steel guard and 5 lobed pommel
ñBoth guard and pommel feature traditional Celtic knot embellishments
ñ30-1/4" blade
ñ36-7/8" overall
ñBlack leather covered scabbard with highly polished steel fittings

Well, it stands to reason that if they have satellites in outer space that can take a picture of an ant hill on earth and tell you how many ants are crawling on top of it, they'd have security cameras with the ability to zoom in on your computer screen. I don't know about these cameras, but the satellites that can do what I mentioned have been around for over a decade. We live in crazy times.

Fantastic tour! Our tour guide was amazing, picked us up right on time at our B and B which was so helpful since we had no car on this trip. He took us to several spots for photo ops which were breathtaking before we even got to Hill Top. The ability to be taken right to the front of the line at Hill Top and straight in was very convenient. The drive to our boat ride was gorgeous and I really enjoyed being able to get on the lake and see the lush scenery from the water. Again, our tour guide kept us on track, on schedule and showed us a terrific amount of places, my camera was overflowing with photos! So glad I was able to add this to our Lake District visit, very convenient, comfortable, relaxing and affordable.

The Muse slideshows stop playing when you click on the thumbnails (triggers) for the slideshow or if you use the "next" or "previous" buttons.

Comments about AN Airframe Washer Kit:
This is a perfect kit to complement your hardware supply. AN washers are what you need complete a fastener connection. In the past I've also used these to fine tune the mounting offset in radial mount brake calipers.
If I was going to change anything about this kit I would make the organizer slightly larger. Other than that this a great value.

Driving Impressions
In This Review
We've driven all the Mini Coopers on racetracks, streets and highways around the world, and rank them among the most fun and responsive front-wheel-drive cars available, enhanced by outstanding real-world fuel economy. All Minis have a basic sporting character, yet most are quite comfortable as daily drivers.
Mini says the base Cooper Hardtop goes from 0-60 mph in 8.4 seconds, which is not quick, while the turbocharged Mini Cooper S performs this feat in just 6.6 seconds. That said, the standard engine does not feel that slow and is enjoyable to drive.
The Mini Cooper S engine reacts almost instantly to the gas pedal, with only the tiniest hint of turbo lag, and produces satisfying acceleration at all speeds. Its steady, even power delivery across a wide rpm range is impressive.
Cooper S models also come with a sport-tuned suspension, but their behavior is still quite refined, and more so than some other cars capable of similar track speeds. With a MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension, the Cooper S is flat and stable in corners, and absorbs small bumps and joints without discomforting passengers. With front-wheel drive, the car never feels at risk of spinning out, even with radical changes in throttle position or braking in the middle of corners.
A key factor in the Mini's sporting feel is its electromechanically assisted steering, which uses an electric motor, instead of a hydraulic pump, for steering assist. Despite the fuel-saving electric power assist, the steering shaft is still mechanically connected to the steering box, so the driver continues to enjoy great feel for the road. This system also varies the steering ratio and effort according to speed.
The effect of the electric steering is most apparent in tight, slow parking lot maneuvers, where very little effort or wheel motion is needed to make large changes in direction. In comparison, at highway speeds an equal rotation of the steering wheel results in smaller and less sensitive directional changes. Another advantage of electrically assisted steering, from the performance perspective, is that steering ratios can be optimized for various portions of a curve, and not just varied with vehicle speed. In the Mini, this means that the initial turn into a corner is cushioned slightly, so the car doesn't feel twitchy.
The 6-speed automatic transmission works reasonably well with both the standard and turbocharged engines. Paddles on the steering wheel let the driver override the automatic and shift manually; and when the driver stops using them, the transmission reverts to Drive, picking the gears itself. Automatics also come with a Sport mode that switches to a more aggressive shift algorithm that holds gears longer to keep more power on tap.
The 6-speed manual gearbox offers more driver engagement than the automatic and wrings the most from the Mini's small engine. We strongly recommend the manual for the low-powered base models, and prefer it for the high-powered models. It's crisp, precise, and makes the driving experience more fun.
Mini brakes are first-rate. The four-wheel discs are large for cars of the Mini's weight, and they provide quick, stable stops with good, consistent pedal feel. Both the base and S models benefit from Mini's brake cornering control, which can use the ABS to apply individual brakes to inside wheels to help get the car through a corner.
Tires play a crucial role in ride quality, and there is a variety of tires to choose from. All-season tires on the smaller rims deliver the most comfortable ride. This is most obvious in the Convertible, which tends to emphasize road shock and shakes. The run-flat performance tires on the Mini Cooper S Convertible with a Sport Package made us dread rough urban roads filled with potholes. Be sure to actually drive a car with the sports suspension and big rims, regardless of the Mini variant, before buying. They may make the ride too stiff for some tastes.

A lack of precedence on how to charge for ongoingsupport for technology purchases has created anunhealthy divide between vendors and educators.
WHAT WOULD YOU PAY to ensure thatthe technology in your schools works?
I posed this question to both technology coordinators and technology vendors as I roamed the exhibit hall at two recent events, the Florida Educational Technology Corp. conference and the Texas Computer Education Association conference. While saying that the future of technology and education depends on your answer is a bit over the top, I do believe this is one of the most important questions we can ask ourselves and our vendors. I promised anonymity to all the educators and vendors I spoke with—neither group wanted to point fingers at the other.
One tech vendor made a point that I have long hammered on: We don't spend enough money on professional development. "Educators give lip service to professional development, but they don't spend money on it," she said. She's right. Spending on professional development has hovered between 5 and 8 cents of each dollar spent on the technology itself, according to Market Data Retrieval and America's Digital Schools 2006. Yet, when the Editorial Projects in Education Research Center asked district technology coordinators to name their top priority for tech spending, 67 percent said professional development—by far the most common response.
But this is more than a routine "We don't spend enough on professional development" tirade. More and more, schools are installing technology to manage student information, curriculum, content, and assessment. The software is powerful and complex. Software developers have worked hard to provide tools to make the systems work intuitively and easily; still, the technology is creating an entirely different way to teach in the classroom. Who is going to help educators learn how to do their jobs in a whole new way?
Everyone has a stake in ensuring that a technology purchase is successful. If educators do not use the systems and use them well, school districts will have wasted a lot of money. On the vendor side, districts will be less likely to renew a subscription or buy another product if the initial purchase fails them.
The real problem is that there is no accepted business model that outlines the service and support necessary for some of these technologies. One tech coordinator told me she realizes she needs help, and her vendor is the right person to turn to because "he has installed these products in other districts and has seen the changes the districts have gone through. The district tech coordinator can only give me tips." Why doesn't she hire the vendor to do just that? She said her bosses think the service should be free. "They said textbook publishers always give free training, [so] the technology guys should do the same."
Businesses are beginning to "get it," even if some educators don't. I talked to a testing company and three management system providers that were trying out various approaches. One was going to raise its prices to cover the cost of ongoing support—in effect, requiring the district to buy that support. Others were going to offer support as an extra service at an affordable price. All agreed that districts need help beyond learning the features and functions of their purchases; they need help with implementation, and the sweeping change that can result. Acknowledging the need is a first step, but solving it continues to be a much more difficult hurdle.

Yes to Carrots?
I am now 34 weeks pregnant. With about six weeks to go, that means that my Lustrasilk Olive Oil Cholesterol leave-in had to run out. Yes, I have known for months that it has been discontinued, and the only online sources I can find seem more than shady… at least my GVP Conditioning Balm has shown back up at Sally's again.
Jessicurl was abandoned back in September. I was simply never able to get enough hold out of any combination I tried and the frizz continued. So I returned to my normal routine.
My first false start with finding just a replacement leave-in was with Kinky Curly Knot Today. I had a bit on hand left over from when my hair was near my waist. It is an excellent detangler, but (and I'll blame pregnancy brain for this one) I totally forgot that it has glycerin in it. Glycerin in the winter is like kryptonite for my hair. I get dry, fuzzy frizz that develops on the top of my head by day two.
Today, I am trying Yes to Carrots Pampering Conditioner, which I found at Target for about $8. My Lustrasilk never felt squeaky when I would apply my Kinky Curly Curling Custard gel on top, but I noticed that feeling when used the KCKT. Yes to Carrots felt the same. On the plus side, I noticed that I was getting better clumps this time.
I don't love the smell, nor do I like the container… but the allure of just going to Target for hair products is great – especially since Sally's is next door!

Contemplating Mommy Hair…
So yeah. I'm pregnant. :) We don't know the gender yet (I'm 17 weeks along), but we'll know in mid-October.
This means I'm definitely looking to streamline my hair routine. I already go 3-4 days between washings, but I can't devote the amount of time I have been. I'm wondering if my hair is long enough to go back to plopping it overnight. I'm just a bit past my shoulders.
My Jessicurl experimentation continues. I've got some odd surface frizz going. It's not rough… Maybe it's the Magnesium Sulfate in the Rockin' Ringlets, or maybe it's the biblical flooding we've had here in Colorado for the last few months.
Maybe I'm still not getting enough hold. I'm only using about a quarter-size blob of the Rockin' Ringlets but three times that of the Confident Coils. I'm layering a double-pea size dollop of Biosilk Rock Hard Gelee on top of it all, which has helped the fraying somewhat, but… meh.
The upside is that it's not taking long to diffuse my hair. Well, relatively speaking. It's still 7 minutes.
I'll try the plop overnight tonight. I saw this video, and I think my hair is her length, pattern, and texture!
P.S. It wasn't until I had my hair up in my white long sleeve shirt that I remembered what my husband always calls it – my Bib Fortuna (a lá Star Wars) hat:
Nice. :P
I mentioned back in December that it was getting harder to find a few of my favorite products. Not that I've actually bothered to look for a new leave-in or conditioner… but I did order samples of Jessicurl's Rockin' Ringlets and Confident Coils.
First impressions are these:
I think my pattern looks good. The waves/swirls are defined and curly rather than just S like.
It's light. Unlike KCCC, drying time was easy.
I'm pregnant (yay!), and the Lavender Citrus scent barely registered in my hyper-sensitive nose.
Potential Cons:
Maybe I didn't use enough, but (as you'll see in the pic below) my clumps were fraying before I squeezed the water from them with my pajama pants (don't judge – I forgot my Curls Like Us towel!).
The back didn't curl well. I followed Jessicurl's video tutorials for application, but I'll tweak that next time.
For the record, I scrubbed my scalp with my usual Suave conditioner, conditioned with my GVP conditioning balm, applied about a quarter size blob of the Rockin' Ringlets, then applied a slightly smaller blob of the Confident Coils. I gently squeezed out the water then with my PJs, then diffused dry. I think I will try to use my Lustrasilk leave-in next time and layer some BRHG on top. I'm doubtful I'll get second-day hair outta this wash.
Pinterest and No Poo
There is a no poo pin showing up on Pinterest these days (uh, you can see that I inserted myself into that conversation…), and while that blog has some pretty good information, I take issue with several points:
1) This method seems aimed at girls with straight hair (see her section about boar bristle brushes – I cannot imagine trying to drag a brush through my hair every day…). If you have straight hair and never use styling products, knock your socks off. Curly girls usually need product, so there's a need to go into greater depth about methods and products and their chemistry.
2) I'm not convinced that baking soda is great to put on your skin, frankly. It's a base, and its pH is around 8 or 9 (I have seen several different numbers…). Read this article for some interesting chemistry. Know why her hair gets slippery with the baking soda? It's a base, so it's creating a saponification (soap) of her skin's lipids (oils), making them water soluble. She's washing all her natural oils down the drain. At least she's telling you to keep the ACV away from your scalp…
3) You don't need "clarifying" shampoo to start. The Suave mentioned just has both Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate and Ammonium Laureth Sulfate as its main ingredients. Just use conventional shampoo once. Done.
4) That section on herbal rinses is scary to me. WHAT herbs?! Which ones specifically?? That's a whole other can of worms, especially for girls with lighter hair tones or highly porous hair. And essential oils are not to be tossed around lightly. Some are irritating if not dangerous when applied to skin.
I always hesitate to say that someone else's method is crap because I'm only one person with one set of experiences. This blogger has been at her method for nearly a year and still seems happy. I'm glad for her. Your path may be different.
Here's me and Mom at IKEA, being goofy. Note her straight hair… I was raised on straight hair methods. My hair looks crummy in the back because I slept on it in the car and ratted it all up, ha!
Possible Product Predicament
I've been to TWO different Sally's this week and they are both no longer carrying GVP Conditioning Balm or any Lustrasilk!!! Now, it looks like the Balm is still available online, but the Lustrasilk Olive Oil Cholesterol seems harder to come by. I'm not about to fill my basement with a 10-year supply of either product, so thus begins my search for replacements. I'll buy another couple of bottles of each to tide me over I guess, but damn. I hate the idea of starting over.
Here's the current state of my hair:
During the dead of winter, it's hard to get decent photos in the low light. The profile shot accurately represents my color though.
I like this length – it's curling quite well! I think I'll keep growing it to my shoulders or maybe armpits, although my husband actually said he liked this cut today(!):
Cost Per Wash
I haven't been on the CurlTalk message boards in ages. I avoid it now because I've pretty much got my hair figured out, and I've accepted my wabi-sabi hair as it is. I don't need to be comparing my hair to other people's and trying to achieve the newest benchmark of perfection. And heaven knows I don't need more products. I already suffered through my product junkie phase, and my bathroom cabinets are still recovering.
I did chime in on a thread yesterday about budget friendly products, and I thought I would crosspost to my own blog. Links to all of these products are on my Current Routine page:
If I total up what I spend on my current routine:
- Suave condish – $1
- Sally's GVP Conditioning Balm – $6
- Lustrasilk Olive Oil Cholesterol – $2.50
- Max Green Alchemy Gel (the most expensive part) – $13
- Biosilk Rock Hard Gelee (I'm on my second bottle in 4 years…) – $10
That's a grand total of $32.50. I go through the Suave pretty frequently, and the Conditioning Balm, Lustrasilk, and Max gel last me maybe 3-4 months at my current length (off the shoulder).
I'll say I wash my hair 3 times per week… often less, but let's make the math easy and say 3 washes times about 50 weeks per year = 150 washes. Divide by 3 months (for each time I have to replenish most of my products), and we're back to 50 washes. I won't factor in the Suave or the Biosilk as I suppose they sort of cancel each other out, so $21.50 divided by 50…
Six months of Grow-out
These photos are from Mother's Day back in May and represent six months of grow-out from November's cut:
My husband really liked that length, but I was about to go on yet another extended summer trip (not 25 days like last time, but just under three weeks…), so I hacked it back to keep it off of my neck. Here's some trip hair from June (the red arrow points to where I have my bangs pinned back from my forehead… it was wicked hot and humid on the East Coast):
And just like last year, I only brought a carry-on! Here's what I brought:
- Avalon Organics Bath and Shower Gel (as a cleanser if I decided I needed it…)
- Generic Value Products Conditioning Balm (rinse-out conditioner)
- Kinky Curly Spiral Spritz (leave-in)
- Max Green Alchemy Gel (styler with very soft hold)
- Hot Sock Diffuser
No duck clips and no comb this time. If I'd had room, I would've been better off to bring my Suave conditioner to scrub my scalp. It has more slip and makes that part of the wash easier. I also would've liked to have a stronger gel. I've taken to layering Biosilk Rock Hard Gelee on top, and I'm still using a pea-size amount.
My Current Routine has been updated. I'm no longer using Kinky Curly Curling Custard as I'm finding it to be too heavy for this length. I can't remember when I cut it out of my routine… but those May photos are definitely without the Kinky Curly, so I'll estimate I changed it back in May sometime.
I'm probably going to grow back to at least that shoulder-length, and probably longer. Maybe I'll go back to armpit length (like September/November 2008?). I think I start to look a bit dragged down in the face as I approach bra strap length. I'm really liking the curly-bang look from May of this year and November 2008, but they tend to flop into my eyes and annoy me. We'll see if I can tolerate it.
