Gifted Kids: Parents Need To Watch For This Serious Downside
Who doesn't love the thought of having a bright child? Maybe even gifted. Perhaps you have gone so far as to have your child tested and he or she meets the criteria for the gifted program at school. This is a proud parenting moment for many.
Yet, there is a dark side to raising a gifted child. Research shows that gifted children and young adults are at higher risk for mental heath issues, including depression, anxiety and suicidal tendencies.
I have seen many gifted children in my counselling practice who are not coping well in the classroom. They disturb others instead of doing their desk work. They have difficulties socially and are an outcast from their peers.
Why? Well, their big brain doesn't operate like the others, so that can turn school into one big yawn fest. Boredom can lead to misbehaviour. Loneliness can result from not finding others who think like them.
Your child may feel like a fish out of water.
"Research shows that gifted children and young adults are at higher risk for mental heath issues, including depression, anxiety and suicidal tendencies."
And if you have a big brain, you ponder existential questions about death and the end of the universe. While that is fascinating, it can stir up anxiety when you are still only six years old!
Mind you, there is valid empirical research confirming just the opposite -- that being gifted can increase a child's resiliency.
So what is a parent to conclude? Is being gifted a help or hindrance to our children's mental well being?
The key is for parents to be attuned to our children's mental health. Here is a good way to conceptualize this: mental health requires us to feel connected to others. We all need to feel loved, valued, accepted and that we belong. Period.
The murky part is that humans view the world subjectively and they make their own creative meaning of what they experience. I will give you a simple example. When I was growing up, only two kids had glasses in my class, me and one of my friends.
My friend hated her glasses and refused to wear them, feeling they made her look "dumb" and she didn't want to stand out from the others.
I, on the other hand, thought my glasses made me look scholarly and I liked the attention I got for standing out. So, it's not about the glasses. It's what we make of the experience. So, too, with giftedness.
Since we know children need to belong, feel accepted and have strong social connections to maintain their mental health, we have to assure those elements are in place for the gifted child. This will largely be up to their perceptions and conclusions, but we can help.
"Their big brain doesn't operate like the others, so that can turn school into one big yawn fest."
If school is boring and alien, then a gifted program might be just the ticket to feeling like they are with like-minded people who "get" them. Also, they might enjoy the challenge of the new amped-up curriculum.
On the other hand, if they have tons of friends and are thriving in their current environment, then keep them with their peers!
If they struggle with social skills, be sure to find some extra programs, like an improv camp, to build those skills. Remember, kids don't need to be popular, but they do need to have that one best friend.
As an aware parent, you can keep an eye for any signs of anxiety, long bouts of sadness or comments of self loathing. If that happens, be sure to seek out counselling.
Every bookworm worth their salt recognizes the opening lines of this franchise: "In an old house in Paris that was covered in vines/Lived 12 little girls in two straight lines…" Of course the smallest one was Madeline. First appearing in 1939, the little Parisian girl has charmed audiences the world over, with her adventures across the globe. Get the book here: Madeline
It doesn't have to be a mouse and a cookie — you can go with a moose and a muffin, a pig and a pancake, a dog and a donut — but this adorable series will captivate your kids in minutes. They'll learn the formulaic storyline and before you can say "milk mustache" they'll be finishing the sentences as you read. Get the book here: If You Give a Mouse A Cookie
If "The Giving Tree" gives you the weepies, try Silverstein's poetry as an alternative. His silly poems and drawings will make you and your kiddos laugh — just try to keep a straight face when reading things like, "Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Too." Get the book here: Where the Sidewalk Ends
Harold is a little boy with a big imagination, and all he needs is his trusty purple crayon to make his dreams come to life. It starts out with a simple walk in the moonlight (Harold draws the moon, of course) and ends after an encounter with a dragon, a sail on a boat, a picnic with nine kinds of pie, a hot air balloon ride and a chat with a police officer — with Harold warm and cozy in his very own bed. Get the book here: Harold and the Purple Crayon
Max — a boy who always gets into "mischief of one kind or another" — is sent to bed without supper. While he's in his room, it turns into a jungle and he sails away to the land of the Wild Things. The Wild Things crown Max king (obviously), and he stays for a while. But eventually home beckons and Max returns, where his dinner is waiting and the best line of the book reads, "And it was still hot." Get the book here: Where the Wild Things Are
There is no children's author more renowned than Dr. Seuss, who penned this book — the silly tale of Sam I Am who does not like green eggs and ham — and 44 other titles for kids, including "The Cat in the Hat," "Horton Hears a Who" and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." Get the book here: Green Eggs and Ham
Never mind the caterpillar's enchanting journey to becoming a butterfly, after eating through everything from a piece of salami to a slice of chocolate cake — the gorgeous, vibrant pictures in this book will keep your kids mesmerized through to the final page. Get the book here: The Very Hungry Caterpillar
For every kid who thinks their grandmother is magical comes the tale of Strega Nona and her enchanted pasta pot. Kids will learn the value of listening to their parents or paying the unfortunate consequences (in this case, a town buried under piles of spaghetti!). Get the book here: Strega Nona
From the moment Alexander rolls out of bed, he knows it's going to be the worst day. His cereal is the only one without a toy, his mom buys him shoes he doesn't like and he's forced to eat lima beans for supper. (Alexander hates lima beans.) This book is perfect for anyone (not just kids!) who has ever thought about taking off and starting over, just as Alexander dreams about running away to Australia. Get the book here: Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
This book (published in 1947, so it has serious staying power) follows a sweet little bunny as he says goodnight (in rhyme!) to all the objects around him. This story likely gives toddlers too many ideas for drawing out bedtime, but it's still a pretty cute little tale. Get the book here: Goodnight Moon
You'll only have to convince your brood to read this book once and they'll ask for it over and over again. There may not be any pictures, but the words (if you can call them that — half of them are onomatopoeias) are funny enough to give your kids the giggles sans illustrations. Whoever is reading the book must say everything the book says, including things like, "I am a robot monkey" and "My only friend in the whole wide world is a hippo named Boo Boo Butt." Get the book here: The Book with No Pictures
Every kid loves this book, because what preschooler doesn't like to talk about pee?! Parents will relate to page after page of pee-mergencies presented by main character Andrew (who is actually based on Munsch's real son). If this book isn't your little one's thing, try any one of Munsch's 89 titles instead. Get the book here: I Have To Go!
This quintessentially Canadian author gave us so many wonderful tales, including the antics of Jillian Jiggs, "The Balloon Tree" and "Once Upon a Golden Apple." But "Something from Nothing," an adaptation of an old Yiddish tale where even a young boy's beloved grandpa can't make his special blanket last forever, has been critically acclaimed for more than 20 years.

Last few days, weeks and months have been very crucial for a lot of reasons.
Being an Indian, Cricket has always been in my veins. India has painfully let go some of the stars of Indian cricket in the past. But none have matched the splendour of Master Blaster. This farewell and retirement is going to create a void in the hearts of all the cricket fans from India and across the world.end
Being a Software Engineer for mobile platforms, Nokia has always had my trust. Not only as a consumer but also as an employee. I have always cherished the nokia ways of working things and am really happy to be part of some of the teams which delivered products very fast, for example, the qt team for SuSe based embedded linux, the here maps team. I am also very, very proud to be a part of some of the product programs like Nokia N800, N900, N9. I have also had a pleasure to work with great managers and great minds at Nokia.
On Oct 31st, 2013, this wonderful ride with Nokia came to an end. I beleive, everything that has a start, has an end. And so is my journey with Nokia, as an employee. I also beleive that its a small world. I will surely come across Nokia in future, may be when they start making phones again.. 😉
At work, I have a special respect for a few fellow workers like Raine, Alexey, Kristoffer, Lörre, Lauri, Sebastian, Frank G, Frank V, Stephan B. and a few managers like Venkat, Devesh, Sami and Jens.
I think that a void has definitely been created with these changes but that is the charming part in itself. We will see more and more Sachins coming forward now. Nevertheless, it has been a great journey so far and now, I look forward to complete my masters course and new job at rightware.

The most food insecure countries in Africa are frequently also the most conflict affected areas. The landscape of armed conflicts has changed from inter-state to increasingly internal conflict. Most of these internal conflicts are fought in the rural areas of the continent. The rural population has borne severe effects of internal conflicts especially mass violence, internal displacements, abductions, rape, torture and refugee movements.
ACORD's work on conflict and peacebuilding
ACORD works in the region worst affected by conflict. Because of the trans-border ethnic makeup, conflicts in Africa often have a regional dimension and are seldom confined to one country, thus further aggravating food insecurity in different regions simultaneously.
ACORD works to enable communities to address the underlying causes of violence and to build meaningful peace at a grassroots level.
Some examples of our work:
- Promoting the community social contract methodology in Burundi, Kenya, Guinea and Uganda and extending its implementation to other countries
Photo: Traditional peace ceremony in Kenya
- Supporting the socio-economic reintegration of child-headed households, youth, women and solders in conflict and post-conflict situations, such as Angola, Burundi, Chad, CAR, Guinea, Uganda, Sudan and Rwanda
- Challenging impunity for sexual and gender-based violence in conflict and post-conflict situations (DRC, Burundi, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda)
- Strengthening Congolese women's peacebuilding skills. Read more about the Goma regional workshop held in July 2013.

Go to my youtube channel to play in HD (too big for my blog).
Here's the RAW file used in the movie: Right click and select save as. This is a naked RAW and might be read as some text junk.
Alright, this is my very first public test of ACR 5.4 and as you will hear this is a test done in realtime! Which also means that whatever I say might have a different solution. I have never been a fan of how Adobe reads any of my Sigma raw files (with Lightroom or ACR) and I thought that perhaps this time would be different. I saw many comparisons made over at the dpreview Sigma forum but none of them really sticked (whatever that means).
So I selected a random shot from yesterday, a 6s exposure done in evening just before sunset, you will see how I develop in SPP (might give you a few clues to how things are done my way) and you will see what I do in ACR in order to really make a mess. ;)
This movie is uploaded with a very very carefully compressed x264 codec (open source) so that gamma info is correct and uploaded with 1280×720 to youtube – I'm corny as usual but you can live with that!

Brandon asking about the facilities on mother's day (on top of being a port-o-potty cleaner in the past).

A Star Lass is Born
My name is Roxanne Kaizen, daughter of a Hoshi Kaizen and Stella Nova. I'm not what you call an ordinary 18 year old girl
When I was 12, my parents decided to move from a distant planet, Celestas, to Earth since my mom always wanted to go there. However, on the way, space bandits attempted to hoard from us. I was unable to do anything, my parents fought them off, but they took my younger sister Sable with them. Ever since that day, I unknowingly developed an instinctual need to help those in danger to make up for failing to protect my sister. We initially decided to go to my dad's hometown of Kawasaki, but he insisted we go to his American home of Humble, Texas; among the many languages we had in Celestas, according to him we spoke the one known on Earth as English, so we could understand them clearly.
About a month later, I befriended Macario, a classmate who was interested in me because I always kept to myself. I decided to let him hang around with me since he seemed to share my ideas about helping others. Unfortunately, shortly after I finished middle school, he moved away. I asked if we could keep contact by phone but he told me no matter what happens, we wouldn't forget one another.
It was when I was about 15 that I began to develop my powers. My skin became more durable, I could suddenly bench-press 80 lbs, and I could shoot blasts of physical energy from my hands. I remember back home how that was common for many Celestians. Sure enough, Mom told me I was going through puberty.
As I progressed through high school, my grades began to slip. I couldn't concentrate; all I could think about is how much good I could do for people with my new abilities. However, I had an unexpected surprise waiting for me at the start of my senior year...
A moving van from across the street had begun unloading furniture when I noticed some of them looked familiar. Just then an excited voice called to me.
"Roxy!?!" I looked around and saw a boy about my age run and tackle me. The back of my head slammed into the concrete so hard it actually hurt a little. "Oh, my god! I'm so, so sorry!" The boy thought I was hurt "I- I was so excited I didn't know... oh please don't get a concussion!"
"No, I'm fine. I'm just-" I looked up and saw him more clearly. "It's... it's you!" My commonly sullen face beamed with thrilling joy. "Rio!!" I hugged him as hard as I could, unintentionally choking him. Once I noticed, I let go.
"But, how are you alright? How did you get so strong?" he asked, completely baffled, as I just grinned. He then noticed our height difference and finally asked "And when did you get taller than me?"
"Come on in." I gestured. "We have a lot of catching up to do."
Around the end of the school year, finally spurred by Rio's return, I started spending time after school fighting crime as "Star Lass". I did all I could to keep it a secret, even from him; after all who would guess the apathetic, distant loner would turn out to be a superhero?
That summer, however, with more free time now that I've graduated from school, I had a feeling Rio would be suspecting me given how I often left. He's not the brightest kid I know, but something about him seemed threatening when I kept secrets from him.
Of course, eventually he brought it up when were at my house playing video games and watching TV. "Hey, Roxy, did you hear about that Star Lass girl on the news. I hear she has super strength and solar powers, kinda like you. Think she's another Celestian?"
"Well, it's sure something we can't rule out now can we?" I said, typically deadpanned.
He gave an enlightened grin. "So, I got to thinking… maybe we should be superheroes."
"Are you kidding?" I scoffed, playing along. "Do you know how much time out of the day it takes for me to help people?"
"What are you complaining about? You just graduated and don't have any plans for the summer. Were you just going to spend your vacation just playing video games, watching TV and spending time by yourself? Of course, you already have been pretty busy and always miss when you're on the news."
I assumed it was a slip-up, but to be sure, I played along "I've been on the news?" I asked, feigning surprise.
"Come on, I'm not a total moron." He had that big headed grin I was afraid of. "I'm onto you, Star Lass." I gave him a little smile, which he saw as a victorious sign.
"Yeah, you got me. I expect you'll keep it secret?"
"On one condition."
I was taken aback. "Rio Valdez, are you blackmailing me?"
He sheepishly chuckled, "Maybe." He got up and bounced on the couch. "I wanna join you! I wanna join you! I wanna join you! Pleeease?"
"Sure thing, Mr. 'I don't have powers'. As if. You'd be too busy dodging debris to help in a fight." I turned to see him sulking. I keep forgetting to notice that some of my words occasionally offend him. "Look, Rio. I'm sorry you're not a powerful Kinetic like your big sister; but in a way, you're my moral compass." He tilted his head in confusion. "You know, the person who keeps you from losing your mind and making a mistake."
"Oh, well thanks."
About a few hours later, I had an idea I went through with Rio: since he knew my secret, he could be my alibi in the event that Mom or Dad would start asking questions. The first step is to have him start sleeping over so I can sneak out at night; not normally my shift since Dusk Woman and her team patrol downtown during that time, but I'd like to go out and patrol my side of town at night for precaution.
"Mom," I asked as I saw her in the bedroom watching TV. "can Rio stay the night?"
My mom was curious, "What's the occasion?"
"Well, remember when we were little how Ms. Valdez would bring him over every few days for a sleepover? Well he kinda wants to do that again."
"Okay, but if you want to have the night with him alone, I'll lock my door."
"Mom," I embarrassingly groaned "it's not like that. We're just friends."
"Same thing I said to Grandma about me and your father, you know how that worked out."
"When is dad getting home anyway?"
"Hopefully by the weekend. Why? Do you miss him?"
"A little. So can Rio...?"
"Honey, I already said the answer is 'yes'."
"Oh yeah, right." I walked back to the living room.
"So?" Rio asked, already in his pajamas. I simply nodded. "I call the top bunk."
"I sleep on the bottom."
"That's why I called the top!" he grinned.
Just then, we heard my mom ready to go out and relax in the backyard patio; she habitually turned on the kitchen TV and we heard the news playing. "Kinetic criminal Brutus is wreaking havoc on the Eastex Freeway at this very moment..."
"Damn." I groaned "I just busted him a few days ago and he's already out. Who's paying this guy's bail?"
"But I just heard them say he broke out of a prison car." Rio carelessly commented as I gave him a blank stare. "Joke, right. So the plan is you go out there, and I tell Ms. Nova... hmm..."
"I left to grab a snack from the store." I helped him out as I quickly got into my Star Lass outfit.
"Got it! Kick his ass, Roxy." I winked and gave him a thumbs up as I opened the front door and flew into the evening sky.
I landed a few yards away from the scene, asking the driver what happened.
"We were relocating him to a more enforced prison when he was somehow able to break out of the vehicle."
"RAAAAGGH!!" he roared as he threw an empty car in a random direction, ready to land on top of us, but I managed to grab the driver and get out of the way.
"Don't worry, I'll handle it." I assured him. I ran closer until I was in talking range of him.
"Ah, Star Lass." He chuckled "Now Brutus shall have revenge. I become stronger since we last meet."
I responded by insulting him "So I noticed. Any chance you trained your brain while you were locked up? Then again, last I checked, you can't really make rocks smarter."
"What that supposed to mean!?" he angrily questioned.
"Whatever you think it means." I calmly responded as he threw a tantrum by throwing a piece of the road at me. I quickly improvised and braced myself to guard it like a catcher. It pushed me back a good length but I could shake it off. "Guess it's true, they do have baseball in the slammer."
I looked up and saw the sun was almost down "Ah, hell, I'll have to make this quick" I said to myself as I charged up a ball of light energy from behind me. He quickly rushed to my direction, unaware of what I had prepared for him. As he prepared to punch me, I charged my fist to counter and overpower him, then quickly sweep kicked him while his guard was down. He fell on his back, struggling to get up but found it futile. I took the time to quickly fly nearby and grabbed a girder to tie him up.
"Damn you Star Lass! One day Brutus shall escape, then I have revenge!!" He shouted as he was hauled off to his new prison. I just slyly smirked and waved him goodbye.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

Author's Notes: Did I do okay with the legend? Because I'm not sure what you think.
Chapter Seven: The Beam Heard 'Round the World
As Mandy, Coals, and Officer Jenny walked down Route 1, on the move to Pallet Town, Blizzard sat in Mandy's arms, his ears twitching as he thought. "Jenny? Can I ask you something?"
"Sure, Blizzard, what?"
"You seem pretty young to me... is it true?"
"Well, if you consider 17 young, then yes." She smiled as blades of grass crunched beneath her paws.
"Only 17, huh? Hm... Mandy, just how old are you?"
"Me? Oh, I'm uh... 13."
"Really? But you only look 11 or so..."
"Yea, well... looks can deceive, Beko."
"Oh, I'm sorry, Blizzard..."
"I don't mind, really... but-"
"Hey, Beko, I'll race you and Officer Jenny to Pallet. Mandy, you can ride on Officer Jenny's back, can't you?" Coals interjected.
"If it's okay with her... Jenny?"
"That's fine." She nodded to Mandy as she got on.
"Ready... set... go!"
And so the three pals raced like their paws were on fire. Blizzard seemed like he was going faster, but really Officer Jenny was beating him by a longshot... suddenly, all three stopped as they passed Beko's house.
"What was that?" Blizzard pointed his paw toward something in the sky.
Meanwhile... up in the Rocket's balloon above our heroes...
"Jessie, there they are! There they are, Jessie!" James seemed excited.
"Hush up, James; they'll hear you!" Jessie warned.
"Meowth, drop the net!" James ordered.
"Meowth! Can do!"
And with that he dropped a Pokeball of Teko's. It contained a Dragonair. Teko ordered his Dragonair to use Hyper Beam on the four figures below. She obliged, and when the Hyper Beam hit, our heroes went flying. Where they went flying to... is where our story continues for another time. Rest assured, our friends will have quite the adventure, wherever they go...
To be continued in "Diaries of a Legend"...
Author's notes: I only did Diaries of a Legend before this story intertwined with it. Be on the lookout for new adventures with Blizzard, Mandy, Coals, and Officer Jenny. Must dash! *runs off to write a new entry into his other story*

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
The Beginning
I am living someone else's life. It's a good life, filled with elegant restaurants, interesting people, and events like the Academy Awards and the Grammies. My husband of twenty-four years and I dine with celebrities, we see the latest movies before the rest of the world, and we're invited to all the book parties in Los Angeles.
Because of his job as an editorial consultant to some top magazines, we've been able to create a life that is privileged and glamorous. But now that I'm there, I realize that I don't like feeling privileged and I'm uncomfortable with glamour. I am living in a designer world that has been designed for someone I no longer am.
I prefer Goodwill to Neiman Marcus, Hondas to Mercedes, and soup kitchens to charity banquets. My house is too big; my garden, too trim; my friends, too white and American.
I first realized something was missing about five years ago when a woman wearing a floor-length muumuu and sandals sat next to me on an airplane. She told me she was in the business of booking sailing tours for captains around the world and was returning from the Mediterranean, the Adriatic, and the Gulf of Mexico. As she was telling me about her trip, tears began streaming down my cheeks.
"I'm sorry," I said, embarrassed. "I don't know where that came from." I wiped my eyes.
But I did know. I was crying for my lost spirit. As the woman spoke, I remembered that once I'd dreamed of sailing around the world, of paddling down the Amazon, of sitting around a fire with tribal people and sharing their food and their lives. I had loved the person who had those dreams. She was daring and idealistic . . . and gone. My husband had no interest in boats or tribal cultures.
"If I were to take a sailing trip," I said to the woman, "there are three things that I would want: a salty old captain who has tales to tell and philosophy to spout, a crew that likes to sing, and a place that is rich in experiences. I hate lying around on beaches."
She didn't even have to think. "Go sail on the Tigris in the Galapagos Islands."
Three months later, I boarded the Tigris without my husband, toured the spectacular volcanic islands, interacted with sea lions and blue-footed boobies, snorkeled the tropical waters, and touched the magic of otherness. I was never the same again.
When I returned from the Galapagos, that long-dormant fire of adventure had been rekindled and the glamour of my life turned gray. The gourmet dinners, the exclusive press screenings, the concerts, the parties, and the evenings at the theater suddenly felt like empty substitutes for discovery, for learning, for penetrating the unknown.
I knew that I couldn't run around the world adventuring, not if I wanted to stay married, which I did. But after the Galapagos trip, I needed something more in my life. I came up with a compromise. I would go to graduate school in anthropology and get my adventure from books.
The timing was right. My two kids no longer needed a full-time mom. Mitch was in his freshman year at Berkeley, and Jan was about to graduate from high school.
I had a fairly successful career as a writer of children's books. I enjoyed the wild and imaginative leaps into fantasy and the visits to schools and the modest recognition, mostly among first- and second-grade teachers; but I happily put my work on hold and plunged into academics.
I spent the next four years at UCLA, reading ethnographies, studying with anthropologists who had lived in exotic cultures, watching films, listening to lectures. By 1985, I am finished with most of the course work for the Ph.D., and I'm ready to choose a place and a topic for my dissertation research. Although my husband puts up with the hours I have to study, I doubt he would join me or endorse the idea of my doing fieldwork for a year in some far corner of the developing world. So I plan to do my thesis among the urban tribes of Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, our marriage is floundering. Over the years, our divergent interests and our personality differences have pushed us deeper into opposite corners. I'm basically laid back and sometimes careless. I tend to excuse my own mistakes as well as other people's; and from time to time I find it necessary to adjust my ethics to the situation at hand. He is a perfectionist, reliable, honest, and prompt. He sets high standards for himself and has high expectations of others. More and more we find ourselves in minor skirmishes. The bell keeps ringing and we come out bickering.
Finally, after yet another squabble that escalates, I suggest that we take a break from each other for a couple of weeks. I need time alone, I tell him, to figure out what's wrong with the marriage and how we can fix it. When I come back, I say, I'd like us to try some marriage counseling. He agrees to a break and counseling but adds that two weeks is not enough. He suggests two months in which we are both free to see other people.
His response surprises and frightens me. Eight weeks of independence is very different from a two-week break to clear our heads. And I hadn't even thought about dating. I'm not sure I can be with another man after twenty-four years of marriage; I don't really want to. But I accept his suggestion. When he leaves the room, the tears roll down my cheeks. As in so many of our conversations these days, we are talking different languages, and I realize that once I introduced the idea of a break, I could not control his reaction.
If the break had been for two weeks, I probably would have checked into a hotel near Los Angeles. But two months is too long for a hotel. I decide to go to Mexico. It's a place I've always wanted to go and my husband hasn't.
By the time I leave, we both fear that this is more than "a break."
I walk weak-kneed down the steps of the plane into hot Mexico City. My eyes are red, my nose is stuffed, and I feel as though my head is filled with lead weights. I am more frightened than I have ever been. I've initiated something that has already taken off in a direction I never intended.
I slip my arms into my backpack and follow the signs out of the terminal. In spite of my heavy head, I warm to the musical sound of Spanish all around me. I've loved the language from the first day I entered Mrs. James's Spanish 1, as a sophomore in Bassick High School in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
When I step outside, I am greeted by five young men waving brochures. The hotel I decide on looks decent, the price is right, and I don't have to pay for a cab. I'll only be there for two nights anyway. In two days I begin a Spanish language course in Cuernavaca; the school has arranged for me to stay with a family. It's the only plan I've made for the two months.
It is seven-thirty at night when I check into the hotel, which gives me plenty of time to clean up and find a restaurant for dinner. As I salivate for Mexican food, I realize that I have never, in my forty-seven years, had dinner alone in a restaurant. When I was young, I had plenty of friends to share meals with. I married at twenty-three, and then I had a husband. I have never eaten out by myself . . . and I don't feel like beginning tonight.
I use the phone in my room to call for room service.
"Discoelpeme, Señora. No hay comida en el hotel." My high school Spanish registers the words. There's no food in the hotel.
When I think about going out, an advance video runs through my head: I am sitting at a table trying to look content. The restaurant is filled with smiling, chatting people. I am the only one alone. They are staring, pitying me, wondering where I'm from and why I have no companion.
I sit on the bed and think about having to choose a place, get there, eat the meal while pretending to be happy, and then return to the hotel. How do I pick a place? Do I take a cab or walk? Is the neighborhood safe?
I can't do it. I'd rather not eat.
So I shower, put on my nightshirt, and curl up with the guidebook. Tomorrow I will go to the market. I plot the route to the central market on buses, and then I turn out the light, hungry and disoriented, as though I am not connected to the body lying in the bed. Who is this person in this strange hotel, alone for the first time in her life? Why am I here? What have I done? I feel as though I'm in a play, following a script that was written by a stranger. Part of me is scared; but there is another part, deep inside, that is excited at the idea that I am about to enter the unknown.
As a child, I loved the unknown. Every summer my parents, my brother, Pepper the dog, and I went on a one-week vacation in the car. My father would drive and my mother would sit next to him, a map on her lap. Every once in a while, when my mother said, "Turn right," my father would get a funny look on his face and turn left. Within minutes we would be lost. Then we'd have to knock on a farmhouse door (when it happened, we were always in farm country) to ask directions. Sometimes we'd be invited to see the newborn calves. Or watch the cows being milked. Often we'd get to throw a handful of grain to the chickens. Lost meant adventure, and I loved it. It's been years since I've been lost, and I can't remember the last time I stepped into the unknown.
I am out on the street at six-thirty in the morning. The day is sunny, the Spanish language sings its musical sounds all around me, and cars whiz through the city ahead of the morning rush hour. Early mornings have a special energy that I like. I decide to walk the couple of miles to the market and get something to eat on the way.
Entering the market through a side entrance, I am immediately surrounded by piñatas: Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck, and an assortment of animals and aliens dressed in their colorful papier-mâché? skins. They are standing on the floor and hanging over my head, hundreds of donkeys and dinosaurs, cats and dragons, boys and girls, hogs and bugs. All the colors of the rainbow are swirling in front of me, swinging to the salsa music that is blasting out of unseen speakers. I am swinging too. The brassy, percussive rhythm of the Caribbean is contagious.
Then I am out of piñatas and into avocados, shades of green and brown in massive piles on flowered oilcloth. Then mounds of sweet smelling mangos fight for my attention with the pineapples. There are booths of papayas, red, yellow, and green; bananas, big and small, thin and fat; dozens of varieties of peppers and chiles fresh and dried and mounded in cubicles; tomatillos, j'cama, carrots, tomatoes, and bunches of green leaves. For a while, cilantro dominates the air, until I pass a table full of oregano. Seconds later, I stop next to a table covered with yellow squash blossoms and wonder what they taste like.
There are children in the booths, babies swinging in tiny hammocks, nine-year-olds wooing customers, "Señora, buy my watermelon. Good taste. Sweet."
The music streaming through the fruits and vegetables is a whiney, unrequited love song that I know from the Mexican radio stations in Los Angeles. It's called ranchero music. Though the music is sad, my body is light. My fears of the night before have turned into excitement.
I pass through mountains of green and red and brown and rust-colored pastes, three feet high, the essence of mole sauces, redolent of cloves and garlic, oregano and cinnamon. Nothing is wrapped in plastic or sealed in containers. It is all out there to be smelled and seen and tasted and bought. I am surrounded by the colors, the smells, the sounds of a culture that lives life full out.
In meats, fifty little butcher shops compete for the shoppers' business. There are brains and stomachs and kidneys and tongues, feet and tails and intestines. Butchers are slapping and smashing meat on huge wooden blocks, beating red blobs into tenderness. They are scissoring and chopping up yellow chickens that have been fed marigolds so their skin and flesh are gold. Heads here, feet there. Innards sorted.
The butchers are mincing beef and hacking pork, sharpening knives and chopping slabs. Cleaving, slapping, scissoring, beating. It's a spectacular percussion band, with its own peculiar instruments.
The shoppers, thick in the aisles, are carrying string and plastic and cloth bags full of newspaper-wrapped packages of their purchases. I walk among them, enjoying the touch of our bodies.
I wriggle through the crowd to peer into waist-high vats of thick white cream and barrels of white ground-corn dough called masa. I cannot stop smiling at the explosion of joy I have felt since I passed under the canopy of piñatas. It's exciting to be exploring a world I know nothing about, discovering new smells, and moving through a scene where I am a barely noticed minority of one, swallowed up by the crowd.
I follow my nose to the eating area of the market. Sausages are frying, soups are bubbling, chiles are toasting. I sit at a picnic table and eat and smile, surrounded by Spanish-speaking women. I bite into my quesadilla stuffed with stretchy Oaxaca cheese and strips of sweet, green chiles.
"Muy sabrosa." Delicious, I say to the woman sitting on my right. She asks me where I am from. I answer some simple questions and ask her name. When our conversation runs out of words, I move to another table and try a sopa de flor de calabaza, squash blossom soup with garlic and onion, zucchini, corn kernels, green leaves, and bright yellow squash blossoms . . . with strips of sweet chiles on top. The blend of flavors, the texture of the different vegetables, the thickness of the broth are like the Mexican people, filled with spice and spirit.
Then, at about twelve o'clock, after nearly five hours in the market, I head off to the anthropology museum. I have never been big on museums or churches or most tourist attractions. As I wander through, I am thinking that I want to move into the enclosed tableaux, to live with these people, to celebrate with them, to cook and eat with the families. I want to experience their lives, not look at them through glass.

REGISTER or LOGINThe point I thought is that a textbook should be value-netural and truthful. For me as a philosophy this is what science is. I recognise this is an ideal, something human beings will fall a little short of. But the citizenship book reads like an attempt at political coercion. It doesn't promote debate, it promotes an opinion. It's not like it teaches how to use statistics to determine the truth of a conjecture, but instead quotes (pretty dubious) statistics to try to enforce that conjecture on the reader. [!]

anyone have to replace the starter on a 2013 yukon denali? if so, how much did the repair costs?
1 Answer
It shouldn't cost anything. Your 1 year old GMC is still covered by new vehicle warranty. Call the dealer and have it towed in for the repair. They'll pay for the tow as well! HTH. -Jim

His thinking was ahead of its time. Working on gang murders, counter-terrorism and on difficulties facing newly arrived communities, it surprised many that an atheist like Keib should see faith groups as the solution to these issues. Lately his initiatives focused on interfaith work with Muslims in partnership with other religions, black pastors as the conduits for anti-gun crime messages in Peckham, and the Catholic church as a way of engaging with Polish workers.
The police's acquisition of Keib showed great foresight - his relations with the various communities minimised any backlash against Muslims after the New York and London terrorist attacks. Such projects predated government initiatives about "community cohesion", but then Keib dedicated 34 years to improving the lives of inner city London's disadvantaged people.
A west Wales butcher's son, he was educated at primary school in New Quay and Aberaeron secondary school, where he honed his ability to negotiate with authority - bargaining with the head about his trademark long hair, (inspired by Welsh legends of the Mabinogion), and refusing to be a prefect.
Moving to London, he worked for seven years on the soup run for the homeless charity St Mungo, followed by a succession of community work jobs spanning 27 years in Southwark. For those he taught community work to at Morley College, he will be remembered as a marvellous storyteller.
As well as his London house, he had two spiritual homes: his Ceredigion birthplace and India, where he would work on international development projects each December. His final resting place will be in the Himalayas, where his wife Tinku will scatter his ashes. He is survived by her and his two brothers.
