The Bluest Eye
by Toni Morrison
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Part.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
It never occurred to either of us that the earth itself might have been unyielding. We had dropped our seeds in our own little plot of black dirt just as Pecola's father had dropped his seeds in his own plot of black dirt. Our innocence and faith were no more productive than his lust or despair. (Prologue)
In this novel, childhood innocence doesn't produce knowledge or hope.
Quote #2
What could he do for her – ever? What give her? What say to her? What could a burned-out black man say to the hunched back of his eleven-year-old daughter? If he looked into her face, he would see those haunted, loving eyes. The hauntedness would irritate him – the love would move him to fury. How dare she love him? Hadn't she any sense at all? What was he supposed to do about that? Return it? How? (3.8.87)
Cholly seems to blame the rape on his inability to express his feelings toward Pecola any other way. Does Morrison's attempt to contextualize Cholly's behavior make you feel more sympathetic toward Cholly? Should we feel sympathetic toward him?

SEBRING - A little over two years ago, Pauline Edwards suffered a stroke, which forced her to use a walker and left her with a medical condition characterized by uncontrollable crying.
In October, she decided to pay a visit to the Sebring office of the Handicapped Americans Love of Life Organization Inc., or H.A.L.L.0., for some post-rehabilitation exercises.
The compact office behind Highlands Regional Medical Center has nine types of exercise tables that do passive movements when people use them, ideal for those with limited mobility.
Carole Franzel remembers how Edwards would shuffle on her walker, crying as she moved from table to table with the help of her husband, Bill.
That was three months ago.
Now, she can move with the help of her cane in the house and her goal is to get rid of her walker altogether. What's more, Edwards does not break down in tears like before, and her husband can drop her off for a short respite if he wants, Franzel, the group's community outreach coordinator, added.
"The results are absolutely wonderful," Edwards said. "I went to other therapies. It's the most that has worked for me. It's easy on your body. The machines do all the work."
Stories like these keep H.A.L.L.O. founder Deanne Pieretti, an amputee herself who found no local support systems for the disabled almost 30 years ago, going and dreaming of growth.
Pieretti is a photographer who was a few months away from opening her own studio in Philadelphia until a tumor forced doctors to amputate one leg at the hip in 1984.
It was a life-changing experience, which brought her to Florida. When she realized there was no support groups for people with disabilities in Highlands County, she started H.A.L.L.O. 27 years ago.
The center is not a gym but a post-rehab program, Pieretti said.
Her hope is to expand the facility, and the group has launched its first capital funds fundraiser for the year. H.A.L.L.O. also hosts four support groups.
Between now and Feb. 7, Highlands County residents can "vote" for one of 10 community leaders, and the person with the least "votes" gets to kiss a pig.
The votes are donations that people can drop off in collection boxes, which Pieretti and Franzel refer to as "voting stations."
Those who have volunteered as the "10 most wanted in Highlands County" are the following: Sebring Mayor George Hensley, Sebring Fire Chief Brad Batz, Sheriff Susan Benton, Highlands County Commissioner Don Elwell, Lake Placid Mayor John Holbrook, Highlands Independent Bank CEO and President John Shoop, attorney William Fletcher, Highlands Independent Bank Avon Park branch manager Nicky Dilday, Edward Jones advisor Alan J. Holmes and Sebring Police Chief Tom Dettman.
Collection boxes are set up at the following stations: Wells Motor Co., The Hotel Jacaranda, Homer's Smorgasbord, the office of the Greater Sebring Chamber of Commerce on U.S. 27, Jimmy's Greek American Grill, Frames & Images, Coz's Sports Bar & Bowl, and Interlake Boulevard Caf�.
The fundraiser will culminate at 2:30 p.m. Feb. 8 at the Highlands County Fairgrounds in the fair arena where the winner of the pig-kissing contest will be announced and the loser get to plant a kiss on Tommy the Piggy.
While the exercise tables help people with limited mobility, they also help tone muscles in people with regular movements, Pieretti said, and all age groups are welcome.
There are cardio machines present along with the passive exercise tables. It takes roughly 10 minutes to work out on one table.
Clients pay a nominal fee: $4 a visit and $35 for 10 visits.
The facility is located at 112 Medical Center Ave., Sebring, and hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Pieretti's eventual goal is to set up a senior one-stop center, where people can exercise, eat and even mail their letters.
The cost to build and open one center is $2 million but she remains optimistic.
"It's a number and we are going to reach it," she smiled.

Hi Mathieu
Your nightmare hasn't started yet if you are only at the dictionary
stage of describing LUTs
The LUTs are just tables of 16 bit integer values, regardless of
what the implicit or explicit VR is.
The number of entries in the LUT is determined for any concrete
instance by the VL of the attribute (and this should match the
values defined in the corresponding LUT Descriptor (0028,3002)
The data dictionary always describes OB and OW VRs as having a
VM of 1, since conceptually there is a single "value" for these,
it is just a really big value.
As far as internal representation for practical use is concerned,
you really want to determine if each LUT entry is encoded in an
8 or 16 bit word, and based on that determination (from the
LUT descriptor), decide whether to encode an array of bytes
or an array of 16 bit words. Remember that LUTs with 8 bits
(LUT Descriptor value 3 == 8) in them will have two 8 bit entries
packed in one US/SS/OW word.
As far as tabulation within the dictionary is concerned, one
approach is to use a special (non-DICOM) VR enumerated value
to flag these special cases; there are a bunch of them in
the standard.
Regardless, if you create attributes internal from actual
instances, you will have to have special LUT Data handling
code that takes into account both LUT Data and LUT Descriptor,
just as you need to handle Pixel Data specially; don't forget
to do the same for the Palette Color LUTs as well.
PS. The VR choices are a consequence of the realization after the
standard was first written that for explicit VR encoding, the
short form of the US/SS VL field is too small in size (16 bits)
to encode big LUTs. The fix started out for palette color LUTs
in CP 143 and was propagated to other LUTs in Sup 33; it is a
shame that we did not have the balls to just retire or remove
the US/SS variant, as opposed to adding OW, but there was (and
still is) an installed base issue.

"Daddy, I love you"
I hear lots of people toss around the term "Terrible Twos" and it's something I just cannot relate to. I'm pretty thankful for it actually. I woke up this morning thinking to myself "We really do have the sweetest, most polite 2 year old I think there is." (Not to mention cutest) Anyone who ever watches him or spends some time around him, they are always quick to comment about how polite he is. THAT makes a Momma proud:) Yesterday, while my husband was home with Cash, he said Cash was running around playing while he was in the kitchen. Cash came running from behind, gave Clifton a big hug and said "Daddy I love you", then ran back off to play. We have raised such a loving little boy.
This brings me to an important question: Do you tell your child/children you love them on a daily basis? If not… do so. This may come across blunt, but that's my intention. There's no beating around the bush when it comes to showing your children affection. I know Clifton and I aren't the perfect parents, and we definitely make our mistakes, but we have never shorted Cash of affection. Some parents put so much emphasis on parenting do's and dont's, which is ok if that's what is important to you. But don't ever neglect your child of affection. Children need it.
Thank you Mom and Dad for ALWAYS, even to this day, telling me you love me, giving me hugs and kisses, never saying goodbye without an "I love you". It has made me the parent I am today. When you love someone, you tell them, every single day. You never know what tomorrow may bring.

Jorge Roman, an Honors College student, was studying abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2009 when he had an epiphany.
Roman, who is also a UNT Emerald Eagle Scholar, saw poverty firsthand during the trip with other Emerald Eagle students. He said seeing impoverished people relying on others for food and money impacted him.
"It just made me feel like I wanted to do something more with my life," he said. "I didn't want to just graduate, get a job working nine to five. I want to make my life meaningful. I want to help other people as much as I can."
Roman, a junior majoring in biology and philosophy, plans to attend medical school to become a doctor after he graduates from UNT.
He applied to the Honors College during his freshman year after another Honors College student recruited him.
"He was kind of like my big brother," Roman said of the student. "He took me under his wings. And introduced me to the associate dean of the Honors College. And we just had a conversation of what I want to do with my life. Is the Honors College right for me?"
His first Honors Class – Honors Introduction to Research - had about 15 students.
"It really encouraged a one-on-one relationship with the professor," he said of the class. "And it was a class where everybody was free to speak their mind. And ask questions. And do things you wouldn't normally be able to do in a class of like two or three-hundred."
Through the Honors College, he is preparing himself for his future career.
"I figure that all the Honors professors with all the Honors classes are going to give me information that I can use in everyday life," he said.
Roman also is a research assistant in the psychology department. He said he got the position through the Honors College.
"Working in the lab with other Honors students – it's a pretty cool experience," he said. "I think it fosters a team dynamic."
This semester, Roman and his peers will study the effectiveness of a therapy for insomnia.
Last summer, he had a preceptorship at UT Southwestern Medical Center of Dallas, where he focused on gastroenterology. He observed the behind-the-scenes work performed by doctors, nurses and physician assistants.
"I got to really see what goes on in medicine, and that really solidified for me that I wanted to go into the field," he said.
In addition to his coursework, Roman is a UNT cheerleader for the football and basketball teams. He also is a member of the UNT Math Club.

Nurture by Nature: Understand Your Child's Personality Type - And Become a Better Parentby Paul D. Tieger, Barbara Barron-Tieger
View All Available Formats & Editions
Every parent knows that children, even babies, have distinct personalities. Any parent with more than one child is probably well aware of how different from each other children, even siblings, can be. So it's only natural that the parenting strategies that work with one child may be less effective with another child. How can you be sure that your nurturing is well suited to your child? With this one-of-a-kind parenting guide, you can use Personality Type analysis - a powerful and well-respected psychological tool - to understand your child better and become a more effective parent. In Nurture by Nature you'll learn which of 16 distinctly different types best matches your child's personality; how this personality type affects your child in each of the three stages of development - preschool, school age, and adolescence; how other parents, whose experiences are recounted in scores of case studies, deal with a wide array of challenging situations you may encounter: reining in a preschooler whose boundless energy constantly gets him into trouble; communicating with a child who keeps her thoughts and feelings secret; understanding an adolescent who seems not to care that he is forever losing things (his homework, his baseball cap, his keys); broadening the horizons of a child who resists trying anything new or unfamiliar...; and how you can adapt your parenting style to your child's type - and get better results when communicating, supporting, motivating, and disciplining. Whether your child is a tantrum-prone toddler, a shy third-grader, a rebellious teen, or somewhere in between, Nurture by Nature will give you the power to understand why children are the way they are - and to become the best parent you can be.

Chapter One
NURTURE by NATURE
A Matter of Style
Lisa and Barry had always imagined their children would be small versions of themselvestalkative, friendly, and active. Practical and down-to-earth people, Lisa and Barry essentially took each day as it came. They were busy, responsible, and hardworking and had a variety of friends and interests, which they eagerly anticipated sharing with their children. But to their amazement, Claire, their first child, was quiet, pensive, and reserved. As she got older, she became clever and observant, capable of detecting the tiniest flaw in her parents and sending them reeling with questions about everything. Lisa and Barry felt they were out of their league with this childshe seemed so oddly independent. Then came baby Robbie. And the world shifted on its axis again. Whereas Claire was serious and self-contained, Robbie was an impulsive clown. Robbie cried for attention, while Claire played independently for hours. Claire questioned every rule and every limit, while Robbie was responsive and eager to please. Claire somehow seemed older than her years, an "old soul," some said to her parents. Robbie was boisterous, the life of the party, excitable, talkative, and funny. Lisa and Barry were mystified. Their kids were quite different from them and so nearly opposite from one another that Lisa and Barry were often at a loss as to how to parent them. Guidance that worked with one child only seemed to make matters worse in the same situation with the other child.
Lisa and Barry are hardly alone. As parents, most of us have expectations about the children wewill have. And then they arrivelike little mystery packages. We have no idea who they are and how best to love them. We are eager to do the right thingeven when we haven't a clue what that right thing is. There is probably no job more difficult, more rewarding, or more all-consuming than parenting. Children don't come with an instruction manual, nor as parents do we receive report cards along the way. Most of us don't even set out with a plan for how we will parent. We might have a vague sense of one approach being better or more effective than another, but ultimately, we all have to wait and see how our children turn out. And much of what we do is done because that was how we ourselves were parentedwhether our parents' way was particularly effective or not. We parent our children often by unconscious rotea sort of one-size fits- all strategy, without regard to the style of the child herself. And we do this, of course, with the best, most genuine, and loving of intentions.
As with Lisa and Barry, simply being born to us doesn't mean our children will be anything like us. Parents of adopted children know this, but those of us who have our own biological children seem to assume our children will be carbon copies of us. Then we're surprised to find ourselves baffled by them. More than a few parents have said to us, "I just don't know which planet this child came from!" Or "She and her sister are like night and day." Or "If I hadn't actually watched this child be delivered, I wouldn't believe we're related!" It's all very normal and understandable to feel confused, concerned, worried, and even scared when we don't understand our children. As parents, it's our job to know what's best for them. But if we don't really know what makes them tick, how will we be able to protect them, to guide them, to support them?
If only we could get into our child's mind, understand his impulses, drives, and desires; the way he processes information; and why he expresses himself as he does. What powerful insights those would be! Clearly, one of the hardest tasks of parenting is staying objective about our own children. It's so easy to get over involved in their successes, failures, struggles, and accomplishments. We come to see them as extensions of ourselves and their experiences as inextricably linked up with our own. We no longer see them as individuals, but rather as various expressions of us. That jumbled thinking makes it virtually impossible to clearly accept the ways in which our children may actually be distinctly different from one another and from us, and then to accommodate their unique needs. What one child needs, another may not. What motivated and excited us as kids may be boring or downright stressful for our child.
But what if we did know, from early in our child's life, who she really was? What if we could figure outby watching her interactions, her play, or word choices, her decision-making stylewhat kind of person she is and then know which motivation techniques, which limit-setting approaches, which supportive efforts, would really work for her? What parents wouldn't want a true picture of the inner workings of their child's mind and heart? Who wouldn't want that gift of insight about who our children really are?
Imagine a child growing up amid constant reassurance about the way she sees the world, interacts with others, likes to play, makes decisions, uses her time, organizes her room and toys, expresses her feelingsthat all are perfectly fine, normal, and acceptable. Imagine a child encouraged to believe in himself, to express his true self, and to trust his perceptions and reactions. Imagine a child made to feel lovable, capable, and worthy just exactly the way she is. Such a child would grow up confident, secure, honest, independent, and loving, because she would have been raised by parents who respected, accepted, accommodated, and celebrated her unique individuality. Deep down, all of us just want to be understood and accepted for who we are. This understanding is the greatest gift we can give our children. It's the real essence of self- esteem.
Being Accepted for Who You Are - The Key to Real Self-esteem
Talking about self-esteem in the current political climate is difficult. These days, the term has come to be associated with social programs or attitudes that try to make excuses for poor or even outrageous behavior and then blame that behavior on difficult home circumstances. As a society, we're tired of hearing how a person's troubled home life is the cause of the high crime rate, the skyrocketing number of births to teenage mothers, and the brutal violence we see all around us. So when we hear anyone mention the offending person's lack of self-esteem, there is impatience and even outrage. We cry: "Of course the kid has no self-esteem! Look at his behavior! He should feel poorly about himself for doing what he's done!" But that attitude puts the proverbial cart before the horse.
The reality is that poor self-esteem is not caused by poor behavior. Poor behavior is caused by lack of self-esteem. Parents everywhere can easily spot the most obvious and dramatic causes of damaged self-worthcases of nauseating physical, sexual, or emotional abuse or neglect. It's obvious to everyone how that kind of treatment of children results in troubled or ruined psyches. We all know that no one can really love another unless he or she can love himself or herself. Self-esteem is, at its core, self love and acceptance. A lack of self- worth creates a chasm of deprivation in people so profound that they never learn how to love others, never take responsibility for their own actions, and spend their lives trying to fill the void they feel with destructive behavior that gives them a temporary sense of power and a brief but superficial feeling of worth.
Happily, most children don't live in the kinds of horrible conditions that we have all seen so much of on the news. So why, then, do so many children become adults who feel lousy about themselves? Perhaps it's because the most common and pervasive assault on a child's self-esteem is the more subtle erosion of self- worth that goes on every day in most of our homes. As well-meaning but unaware parents, we all chip away at our child's sense of self in a multitude of little ways: the criticism and disparaging comments, our impatience, the times we hurry our children through tasks they are enjoying to do something we deem more important. It's the way we casually dismiss their interest or curiosity with things vaguely odd or seemingly inappropriate. It's when our children live through years of constant nagging, discouragement, or disrespect. Ironically, we often treat our children in ways we would never consider treating another adult and certainly wouldn't tolerate ourselves.
Those are the conditions that erode our children's sense of themselves as strong, capable, and resilient individuals. And the price they pay for our criticism is that they begin to see themselves as we keep telling them we see themas inherently flawed and in need of major overhauling, rather than innately perfect, capable, and divine. When the measure of a child's worth is tied to how she compares to our estimation of what's good or valuable, we undermine her confidence. When we gauge a child's value by how he may meet our expectations, we cause him to doubt himself and doubt his true nature. Instead, as parents, we need to consciously accept and love our children for exactly who they are, naturally. That's how we encourage real self-esteem.
But how we do we really accomplish this? By tailoring our parenting to match our child, rather than expecting our child to match our parenting.
Individualized Parenting - a Return to the Garden
Every generation seems to have its own theory about parenting. Conventional wisdom has run the gamut from "Children should be seen but not heard" and "Spare the rod and spoil the child" to employing the more contemporary and more reasonable techniques of "time out" and "grounding." But the problem with simply adopting any popular or culturally endorsed method of parenting is that it ignores the most important variable in the equation: the uniqueness of your child. So, rather than insist that one style of parenting will work with every child, we might take a page from the gardener's handbook.
Just as the gardener accepts, without question or resistance, the plant's requirements and provides the right conditions each plant needs to grow and flourish, so, too, do we parents need to custom-design our parenting to fit the natural needs of each individual child. Although that may seem daunting, it is possible. Once we understand who OUI children really are, we can begin to figure out how to make changes in our parenting style to be more positive and accepting of each child we've been blessed to parent. We've seen this happen repeatedly. In the parenting workshops we've conducted, we've helped parents arrive at a new and more accepting view of their child. We've been gratified to watch as they develop new understanding, compassion, and optimism about their work as parents. The miraculous result is that they fall in love with their child all over again. Parents leave the workshops reenergized, better prepared, and eager to make the experience of parenting more rewarding for themselves and their children. It's possible for every parent to gain those same powerful insights and that same optimism.
Consider Jason, age nine, and Rachel, age seven, the children of two parents in one of our workshops. A trip to Toys R Us to spend their Christmas money presents a striking contrast. Rachel loves the experience, easily and quickly selects three toys she can afford, and delights in the power she feels making decisions. For her brother, Jason, the experience is completely different. He agonizes over the countless choices in front of him and wanders distractedly down aisle after aisle. He can't seem to isolate any options from the thousands of possibilities and continually asks his parents: "If I get this, can I still get that?" and worries over every conceivable combination of purchases. After nearly an hour, his family is growing impatient.
Now Jason feels additional pressure to hurry and make up his mind. Eventually, with the threat of simply leaving without buying anything, Jason chooses a superhero action figure set. When they finally leave the store, Rachel skips contentedly to the car, while Jason is worn out from the conflict he felt trying to make a decision and is not altogether happy with his purchase. The family is exhausted and irritated, and Jason feels incompetent, stupid, and plagued with fear that he made a bad choice. And this was supposed to be a fun outing!
During the workshop we discussed ways to make shopping a more pleasant experience for Jason. Given their new perspective on Jason's style, his parents realized how much better he might have felt about himself if they had instead suggested he look through one of the many toy catalogs at home or shop at a specialty hobby or science shop. Because Jason generally finds decision making difficult, Toys R Us simply presented too many options. Had his parents known how to tailor the shopping expedition to meet his needs as an individual, rather than expecting him to adapt to the most common way of buying toys, Jason's self- esteem wouldn't have taken such an unnecessary beating.
Personality TypeA Way to Understand Every Child
Sometimes, seeing our children in a fresh, new way is the first step to changing old and ineffective ways of relating to them. Personality Type is a powerful and respected method of identifying and understanding a person's true, inherent nature. Based on the work of Carl Jung and the American mother-daughter team of Katharine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers, we can now identify sixteen distinctly different personality types into which we all fit. Children are born with a type and remain that type their entire lives; parents are the same type they were as children. Our personality type affects all aspects of our lives, from the way in which we play as toddlers to the subjects or activities in school that interest or bore us to the occupations we find satisfying as adults. Our natural type is reflected in the kind and amount of interaction with people we like, the kinds of information we notice and remember, the way we make decisions, and how much and what kind of structure and control we prefer. By understanding your type and the type of your child, you will be able to identify ways of adapting your parenting techniques to emphasize the positive and constructive aspects of your child's individual nature. Personality Type gives us a powerful and enlightening way of altering our parenting styles and methods to be more positive. The result is fewer struggles and happier, healthier children. Knowing your child's type offers a virtual road map to the parenting style to which the child will respond best. And once we know what our children need to really thrive, we can find ways of giving it to them.
How This Book Works and What It Does for You
Reading this book is going to be an interactive process. Clearly, it is not our job to prescribe the values you wish to model and teach your child. That is perhaps one of the most personal choices any parent makes. But we do have some exciting insights to offer about children like yours and about the parents who have raised them. In hundreds of in-depth interviews, parents have shared their experiencesthe good and the difficult, the enlightening and the embarrassing and we're excited about sharing them with you.
In Part 1 of Nurture by Nature, you will be introduced to the truly miraculous effect understanding Type can have on your effectiveness as parents and on your child's well-being. You'll learn the basic principles of Personality Type. You'll discover your own type and that of your child by reading engaging and recognizable descriptions of the sixteen personality types. Numerous examples, real-life case studies, and checklists of behaviors will help you identify your child's true type, and you will learn through the Verifying Type Profiles the inborn strengths and possible weaknesses of children and adults of each type.
After identifying your child's type, you will turn to Part 2 of Nurture by Nature and read the appropriate in-depth type chapter for your child. Each of the sixteen type chapters describes children of that type at three different stages of development: preschool, school age, and adolescence. Then, each chapter provides guidelines on how to adapt your natural style of parenting when communicating, supporting, motivating, and disciplining your child as you reinforce his or her innate personality. We will share with you the many practical suggestions we've gained from all our parenting workshops, seminars, and interviews, and working with Type on a daily basis for over fifteen years. Using an understanding of Personality Type, you'll be able to view your child's personality characteristics as assets, not liabilities. The tools and insights you gain will help you begin to anticipate, rather than just react in an emergency mode. And we will explain how to use your new knowledge of the Type differences between you and your child to navigate around common sources of conflict with less tension, stress, and guilt for both parent and child. Finally, we'll offer you an exciting peek into your child's futurea profile of the self-confident adult of your child's type. Each type chapter concludes with a special "Crystal Ball" section in which we describe the kind of happy, well- adjusted adult a child of each type can become. By reading what works with other children like your own, you will be reassured, energized, and armed with powerful and accurate new insights about your child, and the tools to help you implement them.
One important caveat. This book is written for parents of healthy children, those without serious learning disabilities, or physical, emotional, or mental- health challenges that require special attention and services. Just as one's genetics, life experiences, and culture overlie our type, so do those special needs and challenges. For practical reasons, those concerns are beyond the scope of this book.*
So Who Are We, Anyway? About the Authors
Nobody is really an expert at parenting. After all, every parent-child relationship is unique and complicated. But we do bring unique qualifications to the writing of Nurture by Nature. As co-authors of the successful Do What You Are, we introduced hundreds of thousands of career searchers to the benefits of understanding one's type in identifying and finding satisfying work. Having pioneered the application of Type in career development, we've gone on to apply our expertise in Personality Type to child rearing through our various workshops and seminars. Now we are ready to share our experiences and discoveries with you
We have established ourselves as experts in the study and application of Psychological Type with our professional training programs, presentations at national and international conferences, speaking engagements, and numerous radio and television appearances. We also, not incidentally, have two children, aged eleven and seven, and regularly experience firsthand the benefits of applying Type to parenting dilemmas.
If you are anything like us, you'll agree that parenting is the most challenging, complex, and sometimes intimidating responsibility you've ever taken onand undoubtedly the most important. Using the anecdotes from our workshop experiences and interviews with parents and children that will resonate for all parents, we will show how so many of the common conflicts between parent and child are very frequently the result of a clash of different personality types. In reading this book, we believe, you will come to know your child in a deeper and clearer way. We believe you will learn that adapting even slightly to your child's personality type can help you better manage conflict and communicate a strong message of acceptance and unconditional love that will last a lifetime.
*Perhaps more than any other condition, we are aware of the struggle parents with children with ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) face. Throughout our research, we looked for connections between a child's type and that confounding condition. We found nothing conclusive about which types are most commonly afflicted, or what strategies might be most helpful for ADHD children of different types. What research we did find is listed in the Resources section at the back of this book. The Association for Psychological Type (also described there) is the organization we expect to be at the leading edge of research on this issue as it relates to Personality Type.

Dakota was in a scary situation. She was a foster child who had just finished high school. She was over 18 now, and had nowhere to go until school started in the fall. Her foster mother hated her and her foster father had the hots for her. She felt the same way for her foster dad. When her foster mom left, she and her foster dad had the perfect situation to see if their feelings for each other were worth pursuing.

Thai Food
Thai Food Etiquette
Dos and Don'ts0
While not involving tightly buttoned collars and arcane cutlery, there are a few unique things about Thai table manners that you should be aware of. Most of the manners of Thai eating come from the fact that most Thai meals are taken communally rather than in small groups or couples. That means that you probably don't want to order a steak that you'll devour yourself. Since dining is such a social activity and status matters so much in Thai society many of the rules of etiquette are based on perceived status among the group. Here are some guidelines on eating Thai style, of course if you're in a western style restaurant you can ignore these and many younger Thais have adopted western customs.
- Do take your time and pick at your food; enjoy the conversation and the laughter and the sense of community.
- Do pick up the check if it comes to you; in Thai society the person who is perceived to be the richest pays. Nine times out of ten this will be you. On the other hand don't try to contribute if someone else is paying the bill, it takes away from their status and 'face'.
- Do make sure to take only small portions of each dish so there's enough to go around.
- Do finish everything on your plate; it lets the host know you enjoyed the meal.
- Do let the senior ladies of the group do the ordering; it's tradition.
- Do wait for the host to invite you to dig in.
- Do expect a wide variety of dishes and flavours; part of the trick to ordering Thai food is to get a balance of sweet, sour, salty and spicy.
- Do serve yourself but only what you can eat in two or three mouthfuls.
- Don't leave your chopsticks in the bowl, it symbolizes death and is very bad luck.
- Don't order one dish that you intend to eat by yourself. Thai meals are always shared.
- Don't feel bad about adding condiments to flavour your food to your taste.
- Don't wait for all of the food to come out before you eat it, Thai meals are leisurely affairs and the food just keeps on coming.
- Don't use your fork to put food in your mouth, instead use it to push your food onto your spoon.
- Don't look around for your knife - you won't need one as everything is cut up for you.

South Boundary – Aiken, South Carolina
South Carolina | SC Picture Project | Aiken County Photos | South Boundary
The South Boundary avenue of oaks in Aiken makes a lovely scene in every season. Aiken was founded in the 1830s as a railroad town. It became a popular place for Charleston's wealthiest citizens to escape the sweltering Lowcountry summers and the threat of malaria.
After the Civil War, Aiken became a favored destination for wealthy Northerners who enjoyed the respite from harsh winters. During this period, known as the Winter Colony Era, seasonal visitors established horse farms and embarked on the equestrian traditions Aiken is known for today.
Lovely parks, tree-lined boulevards (such as South Boundary), grand churches, and gracious homes also became enduring legacies of the the Winter Colony Era.

This is absolutely stunning — just beautiful. I'm not familiar with SC because we are here on a military assignment. I love seeing things like this so I can find places to visit.

A proposed development area that dates back nearly two decades near Highway 4 at Brentwood's Balfour Road is close to being subdivided and ultimately developed into 63 single-family homes and nearly seven acres of commercial uses.
Located near the existing Summerset II development, the future, age-restricted homes will complement the existing neighborhood and its housing stock, according to city officials. Other possible housing options there could be very high-density residential units and congregate care or an assisted living facility.
The 26-acre project site was reviewed by the Brentwood Planning Commission this week and will also be considered by the Brentwood City Council in the near future. The developer, Brentwood Country Club Partners, has been working on the plans with city officials and nearby residents through the Summerset II Liaison Committee.
Due to the development area's proximity to Highway 4, a sound wall will be installed along the project's west side, but the required height of that wall is unclear because plans for the Balfour Road interchange are still incomplete.
Brentwood Assistant Planner Tim Nielsen said that the maximum noise exposure for private yards in the city is 60 to 65 decibels, which would mean a wall of up to 10 feet.
The existing sound wall along Highway 4 near Sand Creek Road is 6 feet in height.
"We don't have all of the information regarding the required height of that wall based on the future off-ramp," said Planning Commission Chair Lance Crannell. "Of paramount importance is that the quality of the residents' lives in Brentwood be considered."
Summerset resident Marilyn Tigner expressed concern about Summerset Drive being a short residential street that is not ideal as the development's main route and that it could limit the access of ambulances and fire trucks.
"I don't feel that sufficient safety plans have been presented by either the liaison committee or the developers," she said. "Everybody is worried about what will go in there. I don't care about what will go in there. I care about if something goes wrong."
City officials said that emergency vehicles would have alternate access points within the development. They added that speed bumps could be considered at a future date, if speeding becomes a problem there.
Another concern brought up by a Summerset II resident and avid golfer is the fate of the driving range and the putting greens. Representatives of Brentwood Country Club Partners said that they are just trying to establish acceptable future uses and not planning on building in the near future.
"We are seeing flexibility in the project," Commissioner Joseph Weber said.

KITTERY, Maine — Seacoast-area residents will have their first opportunity to weigh in on the proposed Sarah Mildred Long Bridge replacement project tonight.
The Maine Department of Transportation is sponsoring the event, and transportation officials hope to get a broad range of opinions from the public.
"We want to know what the community wants this bridge to look and feel like," Joyce Taylor, MDOT director of project development, said recently.
The $160 million replacement of the bridge is expected to begin at the end of 2014, with work completed by 2017. It is the No. 1 red-listed bridge in New Hampshire, and is jointly owned by both states.
Anyone living near the bridge, particularly on the Kittery side, is particularly invited to attend. Transportation officials said they are working to minimize the effects on private property, but said some driveways may be affected.
At this point, a signal light is expected to be installed at the Kittery side. On the Portsmouth, N.H., side, the Port of New Hampshire will lose some property, but Albacore Park will remain unchanged.
Schematics are not expected to be completed in time for tonight's meeting, although bridge designer FIGG Engineering will bring examples of bridges similar to the one being contemplated for the Long Bridge.
The meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the STAR Theatre at the Kittery Community Center.

SANTA CLARA -- Dave Feldman, who knows his way around an interview, suggested a good way to grill Jim Harbaugh.
"Ask him about the time I beat him one-on-one in his driveway," the newest Comcast SportsNet anchor said.
Feldman makes sure to say it loudly. He wants Harbaugh to overhear.
The 49ers coach doesn't deny the allegation. "Turnaround jump shot," he sighs. "There was just one day when he was on fire and I could not stop the turnaround."
That long-ago showdown marked a rare athletic triumph for Feldman, who spent much of his junior year at Palo Alto High glued to the bench while Harbaugh, a senior, dominated the action.
Now, 30 years later, Feldman and Harbaugh are going one-on-one again. But instead of hoops in Harbaugh's driveway, it's an interview at 49ers headquarters. Feldman, hired by CSN last month, will anchor the network's 49ers coverage and host its postgame show, and Harbaugh is expected to be a frequent guest.
The two high school buddies have been reunited as NFL coach and television sportscaster just a few miles from where they established their bond.
"It's neat. It's special," Harbaugh said. "Dave is not just someone who was a high school friend -- he's been a lifelong friend. He's not someone you catch up with 20 years later and say, 'Hey, I went to high school with that guy.' We've been friends ever since."
Off camera, Feldman (Class of '83) and Harbaugh ('82) tell the same tales, quote the same teachers and praise the same former coaches. Standing just near the 49ers practice field last week, they doubled over in laughter as they recalled the time Harbaugh's dad, Jack, single-handedly quelled a violent melee during their basketball game at a rival high school. (More on that later.)
CSN announced Feldman's hiring July 23 after luring him away from his 12-year gig at WTTG, where he was selected as the Washington, D.C., sportscaster of the year in 2011. Beyond serving as anchor/reporter for its 49ers programming, Feldman will appear on "SportsNet Central" and the network's other pre- and postgame shows.
His link to Harbaugh, however, is what most bears watching, in part because it raises the ethical question of whether Feldman can be objective when it comes to his schoolboy chum. (CSN officials already rankle at the notion that his hiring had anything to do with his famous friend.)
Feldman vowed to avoid special treatment.
"I won't be afraid to be critical if (Harbaugh) makes a bad call or if the team looks bad," he said. "If they lose a tough game, it's not like I'm going to go out there and say, 'Hey, the 49ers looked great today' and sugarcoat it. Jim's a pretty realistic guy about what to expect, and he knows I have a job to do."
Harbaugh, asked if Feldman would be willing ask tough questions, said: "I pretty much know the answer to that. First and foremost, he's a professional."
In a way, Feldman has covered Harbaugh already. When they were high school teammates, Feldman and his fellow garbage-timer, Bill Pidto, would kill time on the bench by providing play-by-play. Harbaugh remembers them doing the same thing while watching the junior varsity games from the stands.
The two bench-warmers had a vivid scene to describe in 1982, when, Feldman said, players from a rival school tried to intimidate Palo Alto players from the moment they stepped off the bus.
"I was wetting my pants," Feldman said, "and Jim was just laughing at them."
The early action, in their memory, was so awash in cheap shots and fouls that Jack Harbaugh, then the defensive coordinator at Stanford, approached the opposing coach with a warning: Get this under control or you're going to have a problem -- with me.
But the ragged play escalated until what they called a blindside elbow sent center Nick Zaharias sprawling to the hardwood. When Zaharias got up ready to fight, fans swarmed the court. (Asked to confirm the tale this week, Zaharias, who now runs an independent investment research company in Menlo Park said, "You mean the riot?")
Harbaugh and Feldman pick up the story from there ...
Feldman: "Their stands empty in, like, one second. It was like they were ready to go. Five guys go after Jim. But before you can even blink, Jack Harbaugh is on the court holding Jim back."
Harbaugh: "Just mayhem. I remember being backed into the wall on the baseline. There were four people there -- not players, but people who had come out of the stands. They were all coming at me like this." (He raises his clenched fists.) "And I'm squared up getting ready to defend myself and throw."
Feldman: "But then Jack was there in the blink of an eye, getting in front of Jim and holding him back. I'm on the bench thinking, 'Oh, my god. Jack Harbaugh is like Superman!' "
Harbaugh: "My dad comes in -- whoosh! -- just like that and cleared everybody out like a wrecking ball. It was like a superhero moment. Jack Harbaugh, legendary status."
They recounted that story last week just before a 49ers practice at Santa Clara. Their easy rapport and comic chemistry raises hopes that Feldman's work at CSN will unearth another side of a coach who can be short -- even combative -- with other local reporters.
To Pidto, the reunion is surreal.
"It's crazy," said Pidto, now the Knicks and Rangers television host for MSG Networks in New York. "The odds of being successful in either profession aren't the greatest."
But Harbaugh and Feldman were willing to start at the bottom and work their way up, Pidto added.
Feldman started with a $3-an-hour job in Sioux City, Iowa, before earning rapid promotions to bigger markets in Monterey (KMST) and Santa Ana (Orange County News Channel). He got his big break, at ESPN, in 1996.
Pidto had already been in Bristol, Conn., for three years when Feldman arrived for his audition. As part of the tryout, Feldman had to narrate highlights on the actual "SportsCenter" set.
"My heart is beating like a rabbit because I know if I blow this it's going to destroy my career," he said. "But just before I go on, I can hear Pidto's voice on my earpiece. He gets on and says: 'Don't you dare (mess) this up and embarrass everyone from Palo Alto.' "
Feldman spent four years at ESPN. He and Pidto, the play-by-play men for an audience of zero back at Palo Alto, were suddenly teaming up on "SportsCenter." One night, they interviewed Harbaugh, who had just been traded to the Baltimore Ravens. Harbaugh, via satellite, broke out a prop -- the team picture of the 1982 Palo Alto boys basketball team.
Now, the reunion is back in full swing on an almost daily basis. No word yet about a rematch in Harbaugh's driveway.

All-encompassing social networks may soon be a thing of the past thanks to Nintendo's Miiverse.
This week Nintendo released a version of Miiverse, its newly founded social network, for mobile and desktop browsers. In contrast to Facebook's all-encompassing approach, which demands every part of your life be reported back to one central place, the Miiverse has been designed in a way that is conscious of its limits.
Instead of asking users to create Timelines weaving together work, family, hobbies, relationships, check-ins, and photos, Miiverse limits a person's interaction with others to communities organized by games. One builds an identity by creating a cartoonish avatar, a Mii, that underscores the fact that every interaction be viewed as a limited fragment, not something representative of an entire person and life experience. It is a sliver of thought drawn from one small nook in a life too large to be quantified.
The moment of the all-inclusive social network is dying, now that the promises of seeing your whole life turned into a series of pics, posts, and messages can be seen for the impossibility it always was.
Nintendo has struggled to sell Wii U since it launched last November but Miiverse has been a bright spot, offering those who have bought the machine a playful way to use it even while there aren't many games to play. Miiverse has many of the game-like elements that users expect from a console—it tracks progress, measures post counts, and likes, and encourages response to activity, all done from under the safe banner of an animated caricature.
The specificity of Miiverse and its cartoonish overlay limit a lot of the social anxiety that has emerged around networks like Facebook, Twitter, and OKCupid. There, the effort to sum up one's self into a coherent whole is made worse by wondering what all the different people in your life will think if you start posting things that show the way you are with one group is not how you are with all groups.
Like most social networks, Facebook is built like an inside-out message board, which presents a running list of users instead of subjects. This switch turns the posters themselves into the subjects of discussion, or at least opens them to that possibility whether they like it or not. On a message board, a user that is not interested in a subject simply avoids the thread. But on Facebook and Twitter, the subjects other people are interested in constantly interrupt a user's experience and create a backdrop of hostility and mistrust.
One logs into Facebook never really knowing what to expect—video of a 747 falling from the sky in Afghanistan or links to a sale at a clothing shop. In the early days of social networking, there was something exciting about this structure. Individuals each had a small scrap of power to disrupt the pious and rigid flow of media with their own whims and insights. But it's become clear the price one pays for that privilege is involuntary exposure to other people's erratic whims and insights, many of which pull us into subjects we don't care about.

NEW DELHI: PHDCCI has called for a time-bound action plan to increase the share of hydro power projects in the country. Criticising the current policy of calculation of tariff of hydro projects on cost plus formula basis, the chamber says that it offers no motivation for developers to reduce tariff through efficient development of projects.
According to PHDCCI, a flat rate route offers strong motivation for efficient execution of projects with low tariffs. It has also demanded that hydro power should be given all incentives currently available to mega thermal projects. Expressing concern at the slow progress of hydro power projects in the country, it has suggested that Central and State Governments must carry out the feasibility of all hydro projects before offering them to private developers. The chambers says that large projects would inevitably have to be taken up by the Government.

Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin has ordered the National Guard to
stop processing benefits requests from gay and lesbian service members.
As of September 3, service members in a marriage with a member of
the same sex could apply for spousal benefits such as military I.D.
cards, healthcare coverage, housing allowances and survivor benefits.
The Pentagon announced last month that it would recognize the legal
marriages of gay troops following a Supreme Court ruling that gutted
the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which prohibited federal agencies
from recognizing such unions.
Fallin spokesman Alex Weintz told
the AP that the agency was unable to process applications from
gay couples because Oklahoma constitutionally bans such unions.
"Because of that prohibition, Gov. Fallin's general counsel has
advised the National Guard not to process requests for benefits of
same-sex couples," Weintz said. "Gay couples that have been
legally married in other states will be advised they can apply for
those benefits on federal facilities, such as Tinker Air Force Base,
rather than state run facilities."
Weintz said that Fallin ordered the policy change on September 5.
National Guard officials in Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana are
also refusing to process benefit requests from gay troops. All four
states are run by conservative Republican governors.

Proposed Budget Could Shutter Many City Senior Centers
By Dana Mattioli
Many of the proposed budget cuts New Yorkers may have to stomach in coming months would hit neighborhood services like senior centers particularly hard.
Announcing the proposed cuts Thursday, Mayor Bloomberg said 50 senior centers would face the shutter There are currently 301 centers citywide serving approximately 28,000 senior citizens daily. The plan would affect around 1,600 seniors, says Christopher Miller, a spokesman for the Department of Aging.
The centers most at risk of closing serve fewer than 30 meals daily, are part-time or satellite centers or have chronic issues. Miller says members of closed centers will be provided with transportation to nearby centers and meals will still reach those who need them. Centers will not be notified about their fates until May 15, says Miller.
Judith Kleve, vice president of older adult services for Catholic Charities Neighborhood Services of Brooklyn and Queens, worries about the upcoming cuts. Her division operates 19 senior centers in Brooklyn and Queens, and some have just over 20 daily members.
"We know this is painful, but we hope that the seniors will take advantage of the transportation we will provide and head to a nearby center to have a meal," says Mr. Miller.
Marie Didato, site coordinator for the New Dorp Beach Friendship Club, a city-funded senior citizen center in Staten Island, says she's shocked by the depth of the cuts. "We're keeping these people out of nursing homes," she says. The New Dorp Beach Friendship Club has an attendance of around 150 members a day who participate in activities ranging from tai chi, dancing, bingo and exercise.
Many members are on a fixed income and are able to eat breakfast and lunch at a minimal "suggested donation" of seventy-five cents for breakfast and $1.75 for lunch, says Didato.
Ayana Clarkson, director of the Grace Agard Harewood Center in Downtown Brooklyn, says her members are concerned about the cuts. "Centers provide a safe haven for seniors to come and socialize and eat," she says. Although most of her members are mobile, she says some don't have the ability to prepare their own meals at home.
Clarkson says the center is a home away from home of sorts and that uprooting groups of friends would be a source of anxiety.
Hurley Turner, a 77-year-old retired warehouse worker from Bedford-Stuyvesant has frequented the senior center for 16 years. Turner uses the facility's weight room, takes aerobics classes and socializes with friends five days a week.
"The budget cuts are devastating," he says. "We don't got too many places to go."
