Mike and Sully are a couple of monsters that are cute enough to plan a whole party theme around. For my son's third birthday I did exactly that, a Monsters Inc. birthday party. I was able to find many coordinating Monster Incorporated party supplies to use as decorations. However, I still wanted to put an extra special touch on things.
I was able to get my hands on an 8' x 4' corrugated cardboard panel to make a custom party back drop. By utilizing my overhead projector, I was able to make precise outlines of Mike and Sully standing on a giant present. Once my outlines were in place, I used tempera paints to apply the color. After the paint was dry, I used a Permanent marker to go back and make bolder outline marks over the dried paint. As a little added fun, I decided to cut out Mike's Eye so that guests could pop their faces out through the hole for pictures. I also could have easily replaced the eye, and have the guests stand in front of the party back drop with the birthday boy for a fun picture. I like to send these pictures to the guests along with the "Thank You" notes. This way guests have a memorable reminder of the party, along with a short sweet note of thanks and appreciation for taking part in the celebration.
The papier mache piñata was a "big hit" at the birthday party. I veered off from my usual way of decorating the outside of the piñata. I decided to color this piñata using tempera paint rather then tissue paper. Traditionally tissue paper or crape paper is used to create the colorful exterior of a piñata. However, because Mike Wazoski appears to be a bald shiny monster I stayed away from the tissue/crape paper technique. I didn't want the piñata making him look like a hairy monster.
One of the games played at the party was pin the eye on Mike. It was made on neon green poster board and the eyes were made out of recycled card board. Yeah, turns out those round card boards from the bottoms of frozen pizza pies are perfect for eye balls. All I needed to do was paint it white, using Tempra/ Poster paint
and add in a blue center iris. I went back in with blue permanent marker to add in detail in the blue iris part of the eye.
The age group of this party was pretty young, so I opted to go without the blind fold for this one. But it was cute to see them all concentrate so hard on just getting it inside the circle. I couldn't help myself, I awarded every player a prize.
I sometimes like to make fun name tags for each of the attending guests. For this Monster theme, I decided to make "Monster in Training" name badges. The badges were created on the computer and measured to fit inside of a baseball card plastic sleeve. Then I popped a hole at the top and strung neon plastic cording through so that they could be worn around their necks like a necklace. I made all the badges in advance of the party. As guests responded with their RSVP to attend, I then added the names on to the badges using Print and stick tags made with my nifty DYMO LetraTagmachine. I used Blue and white colored labels to coordinate with the color of the Badges.
A few months prior I picked up some plain tin lunch boxes from a Dollar Store and used them as loot bags for this party. I personalized each lunch box with neon sticker letters, and then filled them up with goodies. One of the goodies stuffed inside was a custom made Mike eye shirt. I bought bright neon green tank tops and used white puffy paint
to paint a large circle on the front of the shirt. Once it was dry I followed the instructions to make it puff up using an iron on a low setting. Next, I used a blue-ish green acrylic glossy paint to fill in the iris and black acrylic for the center pupil of the eye. On the back side, I used a permanent fabric marker
to write a cute blurb of words referencing the birthday party.
Also among the goodies were Monsters Inc. bandages (so practical for little kids), animal cookies, Monster Inc. stickers, home baked Mike cookies on a stick and a small Monster Inc. stuffed animal. Believe it or not, most of these items were found on clearance, or in bargain bins. Just because you cut costs, doesn't mean it has to look cheap. It really comes down to the presentation. :O)
The "Present" table is always bright with color and filled with temptation, and although some choose to open up presents during the party, I like to save them till after the party. I know it almost sounds like torture, but really I find that it works out. Waiting to open the presents is almost a way of stretching out the excitement of the birth-day. Besides the party is already filled with games, activities, cake & ice cream and when you add in present time it can become rushed and unorganized. I prefer to be able to sit down, read the birthday cards, and keep track of who gave what gift to my son. This way the thank you notes are tailored for each party guest and appreciation is expressed for the specific thoughtfulness of their gift.
Looking for more fun Monster stuff? I Found these cute items that coordinate perfectly. Great for Loot Bags, prizes or pinata fillers.

Quebec's master of horror – Bestselling author, Patrick Senécal, (500,000 books sold) has been conjuring the unimaginable for a loyal following of fearless readers since 1994, when he published his debut novel, 5150 rue des Ormes. He's since penned dozens of unreasonably gory thrillers and has shaped what homegrown psychological terror looks like on the big screen, thanks to three examples: the Éric Tessier-directed Sur le seuil (2003) and 5150 Elm's Way (2009), and filmmaker PodZ's Les 7 Jours du Talion (2010).

Horror film soundtracks: best and scariest – The iconic scenes in horror movies are framed by vital pieces of musical score, the obvious examples being music from Psycho and music from Jaws. It stays with us – it often becomes ripe for parody, reused for comedic effect in spoof films, recontextualised, sampled for hip-hop tracks.
Bram Stoker was born at No 15 Marino Crescent in Clontarf in 1847, while famine raged in Ireland. It would be nice to say that he died in luxury on April 20, 1912 in London, suitably honoured for having created one of the great characters of 19th century literature and 20th century film. But only when Dracula was adapted for film in 1929 did his widow, Florence, enjoy the true benefits of his fame. She used part of the $40,000 film rights to install in her London home the rarest of rare luxuries – a downstairs lavatory, which in gratitude she christened "Room Dracula." Read more about Stoker…

text: A group of Mainers spent a few days in Florida taking part in the National Hospice Regatta. The three-day event raises money and awareness for hospice care. It's a charity event, bringing together sailors from throughout the country. The team from Maine had a good run this year. " Out of 10 teams, we got eight first places. It's just that the two races we didn't get first place, we got last place. So the way the scoring went put us in second place," explained Jim Fernald, skipper of the Maine team. Regattas are the biggest fundraiser each year for the Hospice Volunteers of Hancock County. Last year, Maine's team came in 7th in the national regatta.

Between the 19th and the 21st of November, Occupy Boston had two teach-ins, a street-theater training, a reggae concert, and countless meetings — managing to use one of those as a cover to sneak a large weatherized tent past the ever-present Boston Police.
It was a member of the Occupy Boston's Women's caucus that told me they'd managed it, grinning widely, just as the tent was being set up as a dry, safe, and relatively warm place for women to shelter in the Occupy.
[bug id="occupy"]"It's considered contraband," she said, though she was gone before I could ask who considered it so. It was my introduction to the problems faced by these new residents of Dewey Square, in Boston's Financial District, where it plays out its particular flavor of protest camp in the shadow of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.
Occupy Boston is a big occupation in every way, full of saints and sinners, human drama, pain, and the hint of redemption. It's a far cry from the Harvard Occupation, just miles away, made staid by Harvard's guards who won't let anyone in who doesn't have an ID from the Ivy League school. (See companion story.)
Jose Wiley, 32, volunteers in Logistics and lives at the Occupy. He moved to Los Angeles to become a filmmaker, but returned frustrated and unable to find work.
"We're all at that stage in our lives where we should be building our careers and it's not been an option for a lot of us," says Wiley. "I often say that's why I think this movement popped up overnight and exploded, and it has so many deeply committed people…. I think maybe some of us are realizing that maybe what we'd hoped for in life isn't going to happen."
Wiley mans the Logistics tent, a shade structure with shelves of organized, masking-tape-and-marker-labeled supplies, sitting next to piles of as yet unsorted donations. It's incredibly busy. While we talk, he still handles requests, giving out batteries to members of the Safety crew, socks to old homeless men, and telling people where to go to find food, blankets, and other people in the Occupy.
"This is something to commit to," he says. He takes a break and gives me the tour, pointing out different people in the community, tells me who they are and what they do for Occupy Boston. The community gives them something to care about, he explains. "That's what a lot of this is. We're rediscovering our self respect."
Occupy Boston is cacophonous day and night, dense and messy with enthusiastic humanity. Volunteers feed a thousand people a day.
The camp has a library, media tent, clothing tent, a place to make art and protest signs, and a sacred tent littered with the holy texts and statues of many faiths.
It has a dozen or so events per day, managed by its 57 working groups, who do everything from taking care of animal safety and planning direct actions to documenting and improving pedal powered generators — a favorite of their MIT contingent.
The mud endlessly creeps up around the bottom of the jammed-together tents, and walkways made of pallets cut the camp into sections. Each walkway is named; Main Street bisects the camp, Gandhi Way leads to Dewey Square's now-decorated Gandhi statue, with its thin and irregular curves.
Gandhi's dower and determined face remains perpetually overshadowed by the skyscraping white Federal Reserve building across from Dewey, which has a kind of Stalinist Lego architecture to it.
By night Occupy deals with the flip side of Boston life; the poor and hungry, the homeless, those with untreated medical problems, and those addicted to drugs. It sleeps around 230 to 250 people in an uneasy snooze punctuated by late-night talks, the quarrels of recent and ill-advised love affairs, drunken stumbles, and fights between men used to fighting — all the usual night demons that plague the troubled.
On my first night at Occupy Boston I woke to a man's voice yelling, 'Get out of the tent! Get out!"
I obliged quickly, grabbing my backpack and running out behind the tent I was sharing with two others. I was afraid it was a raid, but it wasn't; in fact the command to get out of the tent wasn't even aimed at me, but at the occupant of the next tent, a man with vacant eyes, slightly open lips and shoulders that sagged lower on his left than his right.
Next to him stood a person with the Safety group, breathing hard and looking terribly annoyed, holding a fire extinguisher. Another member of the safety patrol was rifling through the still smoldering tent until he pulled out a jacket, and showed me and the others a badly charred sleeve.
The man with the extinguisher said to the tent's occupant, who still showed little sign of comprehension, "You can't ever smoke in your tent."
The smoker, looking scolded, asked, "Not even out the door, like this?" gesturing to the open flap.
The man in safety looked at him with undisguised frustration and said, "No!" He drew a breath and found his patience again. "No. You don't do that, and in exchange we'll give you all your meals, a place to stay, and all the love you want."
Occupy Boston is forced to deal head-on with Boston's neglected addicts. They drift into the camp past indifferent Boston PD, even while the Occupy's safety volunteers plead with police to do something about obvious drug use going on in front of them.
Boston is a town so plagued with an unacknowledged drug problem that a mayor's aide was caught selling Oxycontin, only to be given probation. The Boston PD may be indifferent by habit, but the occupiers have no choice but to confront what the city has failed to deal with. The volunteer medical staff counsels and treats the addicts drawn to the open and generous environment, getting them into rehab, then getting them in again after they run away from rehab and return to the Occupy — all watched by a constant police presence.
Much to the consternation of ever-watching Boston police, the tarp structure of the kitchen was, one rainy Tuesday at 2 a.m., replaced by a military surplus tent that had also been snuck in earlier that day. It was a triumph for the Occupy's ongoing attempt to weatherize, while ringed by police that won't let them bring in winter gear.
On Wednesday night, someone drove by and dropped off a shelf, which the occupiers wanted to put into the new kitchen. But police quickly surrounded it, and wouldn't let the occupiers move it into the camp.
"The only donations that are allowed are for food and clothing at this time," said the officer in charge, Sgt. Joseph Geevers.
I asked him to explain why, but he couldn't. "It's my first night here, so I don't know why they're allowing what. That's all I'm told."
Still, Geevers made phone calls to figure out what to do with the shelf, while the occupiers looked on, resigned. Eventually, after several hours of the junior officer guarding the metal shelf, the occupiers lost interest in it. A police truck came and took it away to the landfill.
Life goes on in the Occupy.
John Ford, 30, is a hero to many of the regulars of Occupy Boston. He stays in the Audre Lord to Howard Zinn Library, Occupy Boston's own library, housed in the best weatherized tent they have, up above the mud that plagues so much of the rest of the camp.
Ford works Safety, but the library is his heart.
"I would like this library to stand, if not here for proper drainage reasons, somewhere close by as a testament to public thought being open and accessible to everyone," he said.
Like the participants of Occupy Toronto, who surrendered the rest of the camp but chained themselves to their library, many people in Boston's Occupy give the library near-sacred status, but none more than Ford.
"The libraries everywhere are threatened. They're the last places that are accepting to anyone," said Ford. "Without the library I'd have been dead at 21."
John Ford in many ways epitomizes the Occupiers: never fitting into the system, emotional, not always perfectly articulate, but devoted, to the point of exhaustion, to the idea of a better world. Though obviously bright, Ford started failing out of school in the second grade.
As an adult, he worked bit jobs traveling around the country, printing t-shirts, reselling concert tickets, whatever would keep him moving. The only job Ford settled into was working at the Los Angeles Public Library for two years, where he learned he could love that piece of the system. He's a writer and artist, he speaks in raw emotional terms, the kind that often make people uncomfortable. But like a more kind-hearted version of Charles Bukowski, Ford seems to have no choice about it. He gets swept up by his own words and seems to nearly burst with feelings bigger than his gangly frame can contain.
On one night last week an addict with hepatitis C got into a fight, cut his head, and got blood inside his tent. Ford, on safety detail that night, had to make sure that the now-infected tent couldn't be reused. He'd been frightened, tired and determined. The camp medics took the man and got him into an ambulance, but Ford and others had to deal with the tent he shared with two others. They cut it apart and dragged it away for disposal.
He paces as he tries to describe how the whole thing felt.
"To talk about why you had to take a knife and cut somebody's tent apart while there was blood and everything else in it. Trying to rationalize your need to protect in your head both this larger ideal, then smaller this encampment, then smaller from these individuals' own wanton will to harm themselves."
Ford stops and leans against a wall.
"I hope this movement here can be more than people waking up and realizing that they have the innate numbers, so therefore they've already won," he says, referencing the rhetoric of the 99%. "That they actually do get together and care about stuff like the health and safety of the encampments and health and safety of those willing to protest in body."
Behind us, a group of worshipers gathered for communion in the area where Boston holds its GAs. They sang, and then gave thanks and prayed via the people's mic. Ford and I stopped to watch them.
They set up a little table, bringing out pita and something that was probably not actually wine. They were older than most of the Occupy, bundled tight against the cold night, and when the women sang their voices merged into a lilting and harmonious song that made the listener at once feel calmer. We stood, distracted, sometimes interviewing, sometimes falling silent and watching the ritual.
"One Sabbath," they intoned after the speaker in the call and response of the people's mic. "Jesus was in the synagogue," said the speaker. "Jesus was in the synagogue," replied the communion. "He spoke to the masses …" they went on.
Ford picked up again.
"Right now I'm here, it's hard to get away from what's happening here because it's not ephemeral to me, it's tenuous. It could become this huge wave. But it hasn't guaranteed itself yet…. It's not over yet. If I was to tell you what it was right now, it might not be the best. I've never read a story which starts out great and then stays that way to the end."
Behind him the communion began to sing I've Got Peace Like a River.
As we talked, an old bearded homeless man came up to the worshipers and began to yell at them, supportive, but nearly incoherent.
"I hear you blessing the lord," he screamed, "with the most perfect offering we can give the lord …"
They tried to keep singing, but he kept screaming his praise, fragments of misquoted verse, descending into a word salad of vaguely religious sounding phrases. One of the worshipers finally tried to walk the screaming man away. Ford said, "That dude, I should be engaging with him right now. I think he'll be fine. I know him. He's here all the time. But he asserts himself."
And with that, Ford stepped in.

John Hensler, of Hensler Nursery near Hamlet, Indiana, followed the trees he sent to Indianapolis, Monday. The trees make it on time for the ceremony, but the inclement weather prevented him from attending the affair. The ceremony for the tree provided for the Rotunda was hosted by Governor Mitch Daniels and the one for Lieutenant Governor Becky Skillman's office was hosted by the Lieutenant Governor herself.
Hensler was able to meet with the Lieutenant Governor on arrival and reported yesterday that he had a nice visit with her and that the two trees looked beautiful.

- - Slow down when docking! (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/seamanship-navigation/78026-slow-down-when-docking.html)
Slow down when docking!
Recently, I was crewing on a beautiful 53 foot wooden Yawl. As we approached the dock, I jumped onto the dock and went forward to handle the bow lines. Suddenly, crew started yelling, "We've lost the motor". I did all that I could, which was to put a shoulder into the bow, but she threw my 230 lbs aside like I was a flea and proceed to climb the dock and ram her bow into a boardwalk that was perpendicular to the dock. The sound of splintering wood that I heard still disturbs me! Simply following the axiom "Never approach a dock at a speed at which you don't want to hit it" would have avoided the incident. I mention this because in the last month, I have seen 2 other similar incidents. IMO, there is no need to approach a dock this fast. With most keel boats, you have several Tons in motion, and no brakes. If you come in hot, lose your transmission, transmission or throttle linkage, or your motor, you are screwed! When approaching a slip, I throttle back, then go to neutral before I even commit to the slip. Then... if something fails, I can kill the motor and have room to maneuver. Otherwise, I meander into the slip, usually putting her into reverse, about half way in. No heroic busts of reverse are needed. If I have a strong head wind at the dock, I leave her in forward longer. With a tail wind, I put her in revese earlier. However, I am not approaching the dock any faster. Don't mean to rant, but I've seen too many boats rammed into to docks for no reason recently!
BTW, I assume some will say I was foolish to try to slow the Yawl with my body weight. I agree, but I couldn't stand there and do nothing. Not my nature. I had plenty of room to avoid being pinned. Had she be moving at an appropriate speed, I would have had some effect.
Very well said! I pulled into my slip a few months ago with a couple teenagers on board, they were obviously annoyed with the snails pace. That confirmed to me that I was doing it right. Well, at least doing it slowly! :-)

You can observe a lot just by watching.
Excellent point! I prefer having to give a little extra bump in forward to make my slip over having to reverse to stop once there.
It's a sailboat. No need to rush.
Full agree in principal. It does bring two thoughts to mind.
First, if you are in a heavy crosswind or current, you may have to approach a bit faster, but these are exceptions.
Second, when backing into a slip, you might require more speed to get rudder authority on some boats. Many chest pounding sailors look down on the use of a bow thruster, but, if you have one, you can effectively use it as the rudder when you back into your slip at an idle speed below that which provides much actual rudder authority. I say the slow approach is more important than proving you can back in without the thruster. (I know, you should still be able to do it without one)
The other day I heard an engine revving from a nearby slip and turned around, to see a 30ft sailboat HURTLING backwards out of the slip. It had so much steerage and momentum that it turned through more than 90 degrees and just stopped before it ripped the large outboard off the boat in the opposite slip.
Then there was a hairy moment as he tried to proceed forward up the fairway (at full revs of course) and straighten up without hitting the outboard again (which he ended up about 6 inches from)
So the same remarks apply to leaving the slip too!
I'm very cautious especially since I was docking a chartered sailboat last year, and at that crucial moment where you give it a burst of reverse to stop in the slip, the throttle lever came off in my hand. We were going dead slow so idle reverse and timely use of a snubber stopped us anyway.
Anyway I found this educational video on how to dock properly.
[QUOTE=Minnewaska;766919]Full agree in principal. It does bring two thoughts to mind.
First, if you are in a heavy crosswind or current, you may have to approach a bit faster, but these are exceptions.QUOTE]
I often have a strong cross winds at my dock that want to blow the bow away from the dock (and into my neighbor!). I approach slowly at a Ferry angle, allowing crew to get off and lead the bow forward. If I'm single handing, I find another dock and wait till the wind dies, as there is no way I can keep the bow under control regardless of speed. Well....I could ram her into the dock (like the Yawl), which would prevent her from falling off, but then.....
A really strong cross current can certainly be problematic. Fortunately they are rare (if not, I'd find another marina!), and were not a factor in any of the examples of hull abuse I cited. I think it's simply a matter of skippers not respecting the amount of weight beneath them, and the fact that they don't have brakes!
As a rule, if you're not bored as you come into a pier/slip, you're going too fast.
I teach folks how to dock yachts under sail. We use a stern breast line to stop the forward motion. Then get a centre line tie on ASAP.
Under power we use a a method similar to the spring line approach. Before leaving the dock we find a spot to which we can attach a line that permits the boat to stay parallel to the dock when the transmission is in forward. I find the mid ship cleat is too far forward. When we come in, one person steps off (never jumps) and ties off opposite the transom. Then the transmission is engaged and you can take your time getting the lines attached. This a great method for a couple to use.
If you have a cross wind or current pushing you off the dock, just get a centre line tie on. Then worry about getting the breast and spring lines on.

text: Totally agree with you. I love the large format bottles and I had no trouble selling them when I was in the beer industry. Yes, some of the pricier ones stuck around a little longer than others but I never considered not carrying bombers. Most beer nerds will happily pay 20 or 30 bucks for a 750ml of Deus, Bon-Chien or other high end beer for a special occasion. Very practical in my mind when a comparable bottle of wine would be in the 50-60 dollar range or even higher.

My dear friend Addy, drove men maddy,
Cause her beard was longer than them.
So one day she went bathing
And the men started saying,
That someone should cut it all off.
They argued and bickered until they got liquored
Then old Orlo grabbed him some sheers.
He jumped in beside her
Only to find her, a him
So they bought a round o' beers!

The curator's egg
Museum and gallery curating seems just to have become sexy (again). That's partly thanks to the appearance of Hans-Ulrich Obrist's book, Ways of Curating (a riff on John Berger's Ways of Seeing, I assume). Obrist is co-director of the Serpentine Galleries and is interviewed here on curating history and ideology.
Quite why people like Obrist have to resort to Latin etymologies, heaven only knows. ("It comes from the Latin word curare, meaning to take care. In Roman times, it meant to take care of the bath houses" he says in the interview. What on earth does it have to do with "bath houses"??). But -- that apart -- I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the book, which (from what I'm told -- not seen it yet) explores all kinds of aspects of the art of gallery curation, and the different experimental forms it can take.
But it's just not Obrist. Curation seems to be the flavour of the month in Cambridge Museums too, with an on-going project on the "art and science of curation" -- including contributions from museum professionals and visitors too.
There's going to be a five week season of "curating events" later in the year. But there's a prequel already on this website. It hosts a variety of comments from members of the public on what they think "curating IS..." ("Curating is" ...."fun", "critical and controversial", "a vexed question" and so on. I particularly liked the one which said "How would you respond to the question, "Can I talk to your curator'?"). And there are also blogs from the curators themselves, including a nice mini-autobiography in curating by the new Director of the Fitzwilliam, Tim Knox.
It all took me back 20 odd years to 1991/92 and a little exhibition in the Ashmolean in Oxford that I co-organised with one of my colleagues, called the "Curator's Egg" (OK, feeble pun).
We were, I have to say, very lucky to be allowed to do this (neither of us could lay claim to any actual hands-on museum experience). The fact was that we had exploded at a seminar to Michael Vickers then curator of Greek and Roman at the museum -- about the conventions of curating, the silences of the display (why never say how much something cost?), the rebarbative conventions of the museum label (all those abbreviations that mean nothing to most visitors), and the blind eyes that curating tends to turn (when do we learn that most of the ancient artefacts of Greece and Rome on display were produced by slaves?).
Michael's response was brave." OK," he said, "if you think we have got it so wrong, then you can have one of our little exhibition spaces to show us how you think it should be done." We could hardly say no.
We crammed the little room in the Ashmolean with crazy labels and spoof information panels ("Please dont touch the ceiling", "SHHHHHHH!", "This is a product of slavery", "What aren't they showing you?" ... and a variety of price tags tied onto the objects). We piled up fragments of pottery in a big random heap, we treated a broken off statue head as if it really was a decapitation victim, and we introduced into the precious originals a plastic "garden-centre" Venus.
As museology, it was probably a bit mad (and there were rather too many juvenile jokes in a small space). But it did score a few good hits. One critic recently (and generously) wrote about how the show worked by "making visible questions of curatorial etiquette and decision making, challenging the devices that inscribe the visitor into the museum experience . . . and disturbing the prescribed routine of silent contemplation, non-tactile interaction and one-way routing." Which is exactly what we were trying to do!
I still have that plastic Venus in my college room -- and I have a feeling that Obrist himself might have quite liked the show.

What are common signs that a student may be in distress?
How can I help a student in distress?Because of your position as a university staff or faculty member, you may be called upon to help a student in need. Often times, students develop close positive relationships with staff, teachers, and other university personnel. With that in mind, you may be in a position to help respond when a student is struggling.
While you maintain a visible role on campus, it can often become overwhelming when assisting a student in crisis. Remember to listen and act!
What resources are available through The Counseling and Psychological Services Center?At times you may be faced with student issues that you feel ill-prepared to manage effectively. Remember that you are not alone! The Counseling and Psychological Services Center may be able to help.
Our office is staffed with seven doctoral level psychologists. In addition, we have a wonderful part-time psychiatrist who is available for consultation and support. Each of our staff members are professionally trained clinicians who have varied areas of interest and expertise. If you have a student that you are concerned about, you are encouraged to contact our office to consult with any one of our clinicians who can provide you with additional information and resources.
The Counseling and Psychological Services Center is able to provide individual and group therapy to all matriculated students free of charge. We offer a number of on-going therapy groups including Stress and Anxiety Management, Mood Management, Women's Group, as well as an Interpersonal Group. We are always open for additional suggestions for groups that students, faculty, and staff feel might be beneficial to the Seton Hall Community. In addition, we are available to faculty and staff for consultation, collaboration, in-service training and workshops.
In addition to the therapeutic services we offer students, we are also available for consultation with faculty and staff at the university. If you are concerned about a student and would like to speak to one of our psychologists for additional support, we can be reached at (973) 761-9500. In addition, we have someone on staff each day available for emergency walk-in appointments and/or consultations about students of concern.
We have also begun an outreach program through The Counseling and Psychological Services Center entitled QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) whereby we educate faculty and staff on how to help students experiencing a psychological crisis. To date, we have presented this hour long workshop to various members of the Seton Hall Community. If this is a program that you feel your department might benefit from, please contact our Outreach Coordinator, Dianne Aguero-Trotter, Ph.D. to schedule a QPR training.
The Counseling and Psychological Services Center is always looking for ways to reach out and support faculty and staff more effectively. We welcome any additional suggestions that you may have to help us in our efforts to collaborate with faculty and staff here at Seton Hall.
How do I help a student make an appointment for counseling?If you are with a student in crisis, it is always recommended that you and/or another student personally walk the student of concern over to our office where possible. If you are unable to do so and have concerns about the student's safety, you can call The Counseling and Psychological Services Center or Public Safety for additional assistance. We have staff available for emergency walk-in appointments from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday - Friday.
If the student is not in crisis, but would like to meet with a counselor, they may call our main number (973) 761-9500 and speak with our secretary who can schedule the student for an initial intake appointment. The intake appointment is scheduled for 1 hour and helps the clinician gather information about the student's presenting concerns. Next, a determination will be made as to what services will be most helpful for the student. This may include individual therapy, group therapy, or a combination of both modalities.
The Counseling and Psychological Services Center is located in Mooney Hall, on the 2nd Floor. We are open from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Students can make an appointment by calling (973) 761-9500. If a student has an emergency after hours, they can contact Public Safety and Security at (973) 761-9300 and ask to speak to the psychologist on-call.
Remember, working with students in crisis can often feel overwhelming. Please reach out to the The Counseling and Psychological Services Center Staff for additional assistance and guidance when necessary. We look forward to working with you.

My daughter just turned 3. She's generally good spirited. She goes to preschool (long days, admittedly) 3 days a week, and is with me one full day and with my husband one full day. Dad and I have both worked part time since her birth to be able to each have our special day with her. She's fine when she's at school (dad usually drops her off, and I pick her up), and she isn't particularly concerned if we ever have to leave her with a sitter (rarely).
It's when we're around the house together, on "mamma day" or weekends or in the evening - it's all mama all the time. Daughter rejects dad regularly, vehamently, consistently, whenever mom is an option. Only mommy will do, despite the fact that Dad is great and I need a little break sometimes. Is she just needing more of me? Funny thing is, the more we spend time together, the more intense the attachment gets - it seems there's no satisfying it. I nursed for 2 years, have tried to keep attachment parenting principals in mind, but feel like maybe it has backfired. I don't have the option to stop working, nor do I want to, but I do want to make sure I'm not damaging my child. And I wish dad and I could be treated as relatively more equal parents. Any suggestions?
-tired mom in Boston
I have no help to offer as I am in the same boat, although my child is only 1.5 years old. Perhaps he just has seperation anxiety that is normal, this is why I am here trying to figure it out. It's hard. I totally understand the needing just a little mommy time. Cooking meals is the hardest around here as he pulls and pulls on my lets and cries when I won't be led away to go play with toys. I'm still breastfeeding and am aiming to until he is 2. I often wonder if the co-sleeping / extended breastfeeding thing /attachment parenting thing is the best. Should I have taught him some more independance or does that just come naturally with age?? Who knows.
I sure hope you find some help here, I look forward to reading any posts you receive.
Over time, she's become less dependent on me for everything and is starting to let DH do more. I've worried about it just like you, but I've come to realize that it's something she'll grow out of eventually. And someday I'll miss it... even though it drives me crazy sometimes right now.
You're not doing anything wrong. Just keep working to meet her needs. Keep on having your DH do the same. Eventually she'll grow out of it.
I don't think we make our children this way by attachment parenting. I think some children *are* this way as a matter of age and personality. I keep hoping things will even out - soon, please. We've given my husband certain jobs (like bedtime) even though DS would clearly prefer me, because I do need the break. DS is starting to get kind of into his dad for these things, so we're making *some* progress.
thanks for the feedback!
Like everything else, I assume that this too will pass. Hearing that other LOs do the same thing is nice.
My daughter is almost 2 and like so many of you said, she's always been a Mommies girl. in the last few weeks it's gotten worse and I just keep telling myself it's just a phase. I am still breast feeding her and I am wanting to stop. I have tried everything from distraction, to saying no, to lemon juice, and none of it works. I still cosleep with her as well and have tried putting her in her own bed, but that doesn't last long! It's now at the point where I can`t go to the bathroom without her freaking out screaming, throwing herself on the ground. When my husband tries to pick her up she screams twice as hard and tries everything she can to get away from him. She won`t sit in her chair at meal times, even if I sit right beside her, she HAS to be on my knee. I am a stay at home mom and I don`t leave without her very often so I keep thinking in the back of my mind that AP has made her this way. I`ve told myself from day one that non AP forces babies to be independant and waiting for her to be independant on her own when she`s ready is going to be true independence. I just expected things would be getting BETTER right now, not WORSE
My DD is *just* like this! One thing I've found is that she is happiest when it's mommy AND daddy. It isn't that she doesn't like him, she's just tired of replacements for mommy. The days we all three find something to do together, she is just as happy as sunshine.
My DD is in daycare full-time (8+h / day, 5 days a week) so I totally understand where she's coming from - I miss her too. I don't think it's unusual that a child this age should need her (or his) mother a lot, still. Even if daycare is fun, it isn't the same....
Well, to paraphrase another poster in another thread...when you raise a child to be attached, you can't complain when they are, well, attached.
Having said that...I think that sort of phase is 100% normal, attachement parenting or not. And, it's also 100% normal for the child to switch the parent that the child latches on to. My 2 yr old is 100% daddy's girl. All the way, if daddy is in the room, mommy means nothing. When she wakes up in the morning the first person she looks for, first THING she looks for, is Daddy.
Except today. This morning, I was really hoping for a smidgen of uninterrupted sleep because baby was up last night and I was having trouble sleeping anyway, I was realy hoping DH would take the 2 yr old downstairs and I could sleep a bit longer. No such luck, she wanted Mommy. *sigh* great time to switch allegience kid lol
That's my dd in a lot of ways too (2 yrs 4 months), but the good news is she's slowly getting more and more attached to Dad, although not much less to me. Examples: if she wakes in the night and calls for me and I don't come to her fast enough, she starts calling for daddy. I'm very happy about this! :) And since she's 2 and of course she acts up at times and the behavior is addressed, if I do the "addressing" she starts calling for daddy (and if he does it, she calls for mommy). She's already figured out I guess that if you don't like what one parent is giving you, you yell for the other parent. We are a united front as much as possible and just reiterate whatever the other parent is saying.
One thing that DEFINITELY has helped her to attach a little better to daddy and not freak out as much if he's leaving with her and I'm staying, is being honest and open with her about what the plan is. "Mommy, you coming?" "No honey, mommy is staying here to clean/cook etc, but you'll see me later tonight." She thinks, may ask again if I'm coming, or whose car she's going in "I going in your car mommy?" "No you're going in daddy's car." "You going in your car?" "Yes honey, I'm going in my car." If we're very patient with her questions and we tell her the truth, she seems to be ok with going with daddy and not having a fit because she's leaving me behind or I'm leaving her with daddy and I'm going out.
I'm glad we're learning early to be honest and explain everything, it seems to really help her adjust, although she still has many "moments" of course!
We have the opposite situation right now...my DD (younger, 14 mo) is all about her daddy these days, and we co-sleep etc. If we're all hanging out together she'll come over to me for milk, then practically runs back over to dad to play. (I can admit that he IS a lot more fun than me, that's part of why I married him. ) Anyway, hang in there, they all seem to go through these crazy phases, and I think it's probably not an AP phenomenon.
grateful mama to DD1, born before the robins came, 2010. excited to welcome a little man into the world in early February 2012!

I gave $477 including tax for a like new Glock 17 in the box and 2 Hi Cap Mags. Is this a good price? Thanks in advance and regards, Richard :supergrin:
Well, it depends - gun prices can be regional.
Here in TX - I can buy one new for $495 locally at my gun store - and at a gun show, I bet I can find a new one for $475.
So, U may have paid a bit too much for a used one - how "like new" is it? Do U know the history behind it (a friend - whome you know how many rounds were fired thru it)?
But, did you pay sales tax? That's more money you saved there....
Shipwreck, the price I paid included 6% sales tax and I do not believe the Glock was ever fired. Why? I do not see any wear on the barrel or any other sign of use. Thanks for the response and regards, Richard :D
I'm sorry - I missed the sales tax part of what U typed - I guess that wasn't too bad, if you don't think it was fired. Here, a new one would have included 8.25% sale tax...
As long as U are happy w/ it, that is all that counts.
I like my Glock 34 - it has the same frame as your Glock 17 - it comes with an extended mag relase and slide stop, though, and a little bit lighter trigger...
Shipwreck, I understand that the Glock 34 is to die for! I hope the G17 shoots as well as the one I tried and I like it. If it does, I plan to give the G34 a try. Regards, Richard :D
Well, I have owned several Glocks over the year, and no matter how much I practiced, I always shot low and to the left w/ them. The Glock 34 is the 1st one that I don't do this with. So, I like it a lot :)
This past week I was shooting the Glock 17 and also shot low and left. :D
Once you have bought a peice, sure as the world you'll find it cheaper somwhere else. I can't count the number of times it has happen to me. So now I research and try to fine the best deal I can. Once its bought I don't look back. I just enjoy my new gun. Quit looking at prices is what I do. Enjoy your Glock and give us a range report and more pictures.
This is the Glock 17 I wrote about. After field stripping the pistol I am certain it was never fired. Regards, Richard :D

another multi-response thread
here is obamas executive order he addressed today. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE OBAMAS EXECUTIVE ORDER, NOT GREG CRAIG.
OBAMA:" In order to effect the appropriate disposition of individuals currently detained by the Department of Defense at Guantanamo, uh, and promptly to close the detention facility at Guantanamo consistent with the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and interests of justice, I hereby order. And we then we will then, uh, provide the process whereby Guantanamo will be closed no later than, uh, one year from now. We will be... Uhhh.... Ummm.... Is there a separate executive order, Greg, with respect to how we're going to dispose of the detainees? Is that it, eh, uh, what we're doing?"
CRAIG: We'll set up a process!
OBAMA: We will be, uh, setting up a process whereby this is going to be taking place.
this is pretty close to the exact wordage from obama and i think its peculiar that he can't even address is own executive order to the fullest. now let the pages of responses start, as with all my posts.
not really sure of all the features. i edited it and will pm it. thanks
what does that response have to do with the fact that he couldnt even finish his own executive decision. this was HIS decision and he had to clarify with craig. idk he just has no clue. he seemed to rely on an experienced person to finish his thoughts/ideas. read my other post on all the good things bush did. of course he screwed up, as did EVERY president. but his few screw-ups shouldn't cover up all the good things he did.
I don't know what rock you've been living under for the past eight years, but my left nut would have made a better president (with my right as VP, of course). I'm no Obama fan, but I feel somewhat proud that he can actually speak English, and isn't dumber than a sack of bricks. I'll settle for that any day, even if he does say Uhhh a lot.
OP - can we have a resource for the transcript you have used please?
its not that i doubt you, i just enjoy context and a 'broader picture'

text: CLEWISTON, Fla., Feb. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Twenty-four year-old rookie Drew Benton of Panama City, Fla., was fishing in his first event as a professional this week and caught a 7-pound kicker bass with only seven minutes to spare to win the Walmart FLW Tour on Lake Okeechobee presented by Mercury on Sunday. That fish pushed Benton's day 4 weight to 13 pounds, 4 ounces and his total four-day weight to 75 pounds, 7 ounces and was enough to best 174 of the top bass anglers in the world to earn him a $100,000 paycheck. Finishing in second place was Keystone Light pro Brent Ehrler of Redlands, Calif., who weighed in 20 bass totaling 70 pounds, 8 ounces. Link to photo of pro winner Drew Benton "Fishing in my first ever Tour event, I never expected this," said Benton, whose previous high finish was a 14th-place effort in EverStart competition on Lake Seminole. "I have to pay my entry fees all on my own, so this is such a big step for me. Now I can actually relax and fish for the rest of the year and not have to worry about just making a check." Like Saturday, Sunday's fishing conditions were windy and tough. Benton made several runs back and forth to areas in South Bay and Turners Cove and burned through ¾ of a tank of gas by scrambling to try and catch enough weight. "It was such a grind," Benton said. "I started the day in South Bay, then went to Turners. Nothing was happening there, so I went back to South Bay and checked it again. I fished there for three hours and was only able to catch two keepers. So, I ran back to Turners and was able to finish out a small limit. I didn't catch my limit of fish until 1:45 p.m. I told the camera man that I had to run and try and catch a big one. So I made the run back down to South Bay, and that's when I got the kicker." Benton said the kicker – a 7-pound Okeechobee behemoth – came while throwing an entirely different bait than he had used all week. "I had thrown a PGM Lures bladed swimjig all day and not had one bite on it," Benton said. "I decided to try a Hildebrandt white and gold-bladed spinnerbait, and it bit."

02. 09. 2008 - The Czech Airlines Service to Beirut Celebrates 60 Years
Prague, 2 September 2008
Czech Airlines is celebrating the sixtieth anniversary of the launch of scheduled air service between Prague and the Lebanese capital, Beirut. The former Czechoslovak Airlines flew to the destination for the first time on 2 September 1948. Presently, the Airline offers six flights a week between Prague and Beirut, deploying its most modern Airbus A319s and also Airbus A320s, with larger capacity, on the most sought-after days.
The former Czechoslovak Airlines launched the Beirut service in the post-war era. Shortly thereafter, however, the service was interrupted. In more recent history, this route was also limited for political reasons – this time due to the war in Lebanon in 2006.
Last year, the Czech Airlines service between Prague and Beirut was used by over 39,000 passengers, which constituted a year-on-year increase of nearly 50 percent. The sharp growth was due to the improved offering of connections to Lebanon, primarily by increasing connections to a number of countries in Western Europe. Czech Airlines also managed to significantly better use the capacity in the low season. In 2007, Czech Airlines operated 200 flights between Prague and Beirut.
The Czech Airlines air service between Prague and Beirut is used primarily by business passengers travelling to the Czech Republic and Western Europe, but family tourism is also popular, i.e., visits of family and friends.
During the summer flight schedule, i.e., from 30 March to 25 October, Czech Airlines offers daily service to Beirut, except for Saturdays, departing from Prague at 9:45 p.m. From Beirut, passengers can fly back at 3:05 in the morning. The direct flight takes just under four hours.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Wiggles, Feb 3, 2011.
Poor Bill is getting worked over in this thread like the gears on one of Lee's old 3 speeds.
It's getting close Pistons sale reportedly in final stages - theoaklandpress.com David Stern on meeting Tom Gores - Detroit Bad Boys
Yes, 5buttons, buy this team or wiggles will remain PF.com laughingstock til armaggedon finsihes his pains. do it for wiggles!!
You guys aren't going to believe this, but it seems that the sale is being held up because Mrs. D wants as much $$ as possible out of this given "her investment" aka as sleeping with that old guy. Price holding up Pistons sale | detnews.com | The Detroit News
A very good article about the process. I think Gores is foolish for buying now, since he doesn't know what kind of salary cap will be in place, (hard or soft) or wether the luxury tax threshold will effect his ability to gain talented players, versus maintaining profitablility. I think he would feel much better knowing that Rodney Stuckey was under contract for the long term..
It amazes me how they are probably off now by 20 mil or so while Dumars threw away 90 mil on CV and BG 2 years ago. Or how Rip is owed 25 mil over the next 2 years and will probably have to be bought out. How much revenue has been lost this year due to fan disinterest while telling Dumars not to change a penny in the salary structure. When is the trade deadlne? Did we miss it already?
This prolonged process is going to ensure that we don't make any moves by the trade deadline (this Thursday). From the article it sounds like NBA is also pressuring Gores to pay more.
Yep the NBA is in cahoots with Mrs. D to assure that the team sells for at least $400 million. It's an owners ploy to assure that future sales of other teams are not devalued. You'd think that if Ilitch wanted to "play future ball" with the other NBA owners he would have offered more than $360. Owning the Tigers, Wings and Pistons would have put Ilitch in position in a couple of years to buy the Lions, turn them around and run for mayor... Gores should probably stick around here in Beverly Hills, and wait for Donald Sterling to let the Clippers go..
This is the obvious solution.
Or, a deal might be struck in which a high price is announced, but Gores pays considerably less until certain performance guarantees — attendance, advertising revenue and television revenue — are met. This option scares me. He might just bag the team for a few years, just to make a buck. Heck, he could just leave things the way they are so the value really falls. Then, when the time limit is up...rebuild the team for sale.
At this point the only one here who really know what's going on is Wiggles...and he won't come back and explain it.
It's possible that wiggles is a long standing member of this community who needed an altar-ego.
Is he getting married?
Maybe a member of the clergy?
Perhaps a Clairvoyant?
I'll have nun of this talk...
Nailed it!
If only we all had the patience of Wiggles....
He was way out in front of this story.

Invisible Romans (edition 2011)
by Robert Knapp
Work details
Invisible Romans by Robert C. Knapp
No current Talk conversations about this book.
In this fascinating book, Professor Knapp weaves together "non-elite" sources such as inscriptions, papyri, fortune-telling manuals, and ancient novels and romances to create the "inner life" of invisible Romans. To the author, invisible Romans are the ones who do not appear in elite literary sources—the slaves, the working class, merchants, gladiators, etc. When these classes do appear in the literary evidence, the sources almost always are dismissive or derogatory. But what did the commoners in this hierarchical society actually think?
Professor Knapp begins by insisting that in a highly stratified society the deck was always stacked against the lower orders. Yet there were cracks that allowed people to move up or down within the non-elites. Slaves could become freedmen, tradesmen merchants. The army offered substantial pay and some social privileges to those who made it to retirement. Using funeral epitaphs, fortune-telling manuals and a variety of other sources, the author succeeds in illuminating the lives of lower class Romans and provincials.
Robert Knapp focuses in this book on the non-elite, "invisible" Romans—the vast majority of the Roman population who lived and died without leaving much of a trace on the historical record. Knapp uses a variety of different records—inscriptions, graffiti, religious texts, literature—to reconstruct what daily life might have been like for the average Roman.
Some of these reconstructions are more useful than others—the use of texts on dream interpretations to tell us about regular people's concerns, their "mind worlds", is an inventive and rich use of these sources. However, there are some obvious problems with the ways in which Knapp uses his sources, often seeming to ignore the variations which time and geography inevitably produced across an area as large as the Roman Empire. In terms of the demands of agricultural subsistence living, comparisons may hold true across much of the Mediterranean at least—but cultural values? Sexual mores? Here the comparisons seem more nebulous. Still, a useful book on Roman social history that will find readers among a general audience, and which teachers will no doubt find useful to mine for case studies and sources.
A useful research book looking at the lives of ordinary Romans. Knapp used non-elite sources in drawing his pictures of everyday life: fables, fiction, frescoes, graffiti, tome dedications, and more. Accessible writing and frequent illustrations/pictures enhance the narrative.
An accessible attempt to portray the life of common people in Roman times. Knapp's argument is that most of what we know of Roman life comes from accounts from the elites, and that these elites form a minuscule fraction of the totality of the Roman state. The experiences of everyone else are hardly ever recorded, and therefore we know little about them and must engage in a sort of detective work to tease them out of the remaining historical artifacts. By analyzing tombstones, letters, divination books, and so forth, Knapp presents the life of "ordinary Romans": the middle and lower classes, slaves, freedmen, soldiers, prostitutes, and gladiators. The result is an engaging and informative historical description.

What survives from the Roman Empire is largely the words and lives of the rich and powerful: emperors, philosophers, senators. Yet the privilege and decadence often associated with the Roman elite was underpinned by the toils and tribulations of the common citizens. Here, the eminent historian Robert Knapp brings those invisible inhabitants of Rome and its vast empire to light.
He seeks out the ordinary folk—laboring men, housewives, prostitutes, freedmen, slaves, soldiers, and gladiators—who formed the backbone of the ancient Roman world, and the outlaws and pirates who lay beyond it. He finds their traces in the nooks and crannies of the histories, treatises, plays, and poetry created by the elite. Everyday people come alive through original sources as varied as graffiti, incantations, magical texts, proverbs, fables, astrological writings, and even the New Testament.
Knapp offers a glimpse into a world far removed from our own, but one that resonates through history. Invisible Romans allows us to see how Romans sought on a daily basis to survive and thrive under the afflictions of disease, war, and violence, and to control their fates before powers that variously oppressed and ignored them.

The first head coach in Gamecock sand volleyball history is Moritz Moritz, as he steps from the indoor game to head the 31st sand volleyball program nationally.
In 2011-12, he worked with the Gamecock indoor team, concentrating his on-court work with middle blockers and all defenders. The 2011 Gamecocks led the SEC in digs per set, and Gamecock libero Paige Wheeler earned SEC Defensive Player of the Week honors twice. He also assisted in scheduling, scouting, recruiting, video breakdown, game and practice planning and work with the Gamecock academic program.
Moritz spent five seasons at Idaho, where he worked as the defensive coordinator as well as film breakdown, academics and the Vandals' community service efforts. Idaho never finished below .500 in Western Athletic Conference play during Moritz's time with the team.
Prior to moving to Moscow, Moritz spent eight years in the Fort Collins, Colo., area. He worked at Colorado State as a volunteer assistant coach for five years and as an interim assistant coach for another while also working with the Norco Junior Volleyball Club and as an assistant coach for a season at Fort Collins High. His first coaching job came in California as an assistant coach with Pacific Palisades High School and with the Island Juniors club.
Married to the former Kevann Tuell, the couple has two children, son Curren and daughter Gracyn. Moritz earned his bachelors from Colorado State in 2006.

sporadic 12v on radio circuit
I have a 2008 Cadillac DTS. My Kenwood aftermarket radio installed by BestBuy has worked fine for 4 years. Normally when I start the car the radio comes on by itself. But now the radio only comes on sporadically. I have put my multimeter on the radio fuse and it is not getting 12v, it is only getting 0.1 volts. Sometimes when I am driving the radio will turn on by itself (seems like suddenly the radio circuit gets 12v.... the radio stays on for a few minutes and then the circuit loses 12v power and so the radio shuts off. If I pull the fuse completely out with the engine running and re-insert it into the fusebox sometimes the radio will turn on. It is a very sporadic problem. I have pulled every single fuse and checked it, ALL are good. I checked some other circuits and they are all getting 12 or 13 volts. None of them seem to have this sporadic problem.
What would cause the circuit to not get power? The fusebox for radio circuit is in backseat right next to my new car battery. For testing the circuit I am using a special fuse with a red lead that I connect to my multimeter.
PLEASE help, I have diagnosed this to best of my ability... it seems something in between the battery and fuse circuit is faulty or loose. Is there any resistors or relays I should check? Should I remove fusebox to see if there is loose connection near the radio circuit? Thanks for helping and such a great forum.

Although the delivery will be about a month early, I will be celebrating my 40th birthday with the delivery of my 2013 X6! :) I hope I'm able to meet you Jon. I've been following the PCD thread for a year, anxiously waiting my turn. I was so excited when I confirmed, I forgot to ask my CA a question. Since my PCD date is June 7, does that mean I check into the Marriott the day before on June 6?
Yep! You would want to arrive the day before! I got my date and mine will be on May 22! I am celebrating 40 years this Sept...My "gift" is an AH7. I certainly love the look of the X6 what a nice rig! Enjoy!
Thank you and thanks for the info!
See you soon :thumbup:
I should be there on the 7th as well! Still waiting for confirmation though.
