If you're reading this you're either curious about homeschooling because you think it will help your child, actively homeschooling and looking for tips, or Googling in desperation because you're sick and tired of whatever rigmarole you are going through with your child's school.
I have been in all 3 situations. And like I said in my last post about homeschooling a child with ADHD or other special needs, including neuro-behavioral disorders, cognitive delays, developmental delays, social skills problems, learning disabilities, or just plain old out-of-the-box thinking, I am pretty new to the whole homeschool thing. I've been homeschooling my 10-year old son exactly 1 year and 1 month, with a 6 month sabbatical (we sent him to a private special needs school) thrown in the middle. I don't have all the answers, but I do know that pulling our son, diagnosed with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), which includes elements ADHD, ODD, SPD, PDD, cognitive delay, and PBD out of school was one of the best treatment decisions we've made for him so far.
If you've done any reading on homeschooling so far you know that the approach to homeschooling is as diverse as the children and families who are doing it. There is no one right way, and the beauty and benefit of homeschooling is being able to tailor what you do to meet your child's needs.
Below you'll find a basic list summarizing approaches to homeschooling. All of these approaches can be adapted to you and your child's needs, many people start using one method then switch to another or mix them up, and if you are homeschooling for religious reasons (we are not, but this may be another valuable benefit of homeschooling for you) then you can adapt all of these to fit your needs as well. I'm NOT reviewing curricula, books, or online resources here, although feel free to put in your own $.02 in the comments field.
And just a note – what we do in our homeschool is fairly eclectic. A little of this, a little of that – and by a LITTLE I do mean a very little. The academic part of homeschooling never takes us longer than 2 hours/day. This is one of the basic wonderful things about homeschooling. In all but the extremely structured "school at home" approaches most homeschoolers spend way less actual time on the academic parts of their kids school than if they were in school – not because they are blowing it off, but because the kids, even kids with serious learning difficulties – can get through stuff so much faster. If you don't have to waste time on attendance, bathrooms, discipline, transitions from one thing to the next, recess, lunch, moving through the hallways and all sorts of time-wasting necessities of traditional school then time on task is spend so much more expeditiously. Even if your child is like mine and fights you tooth and nail about doing much of anything.
That said, the enrichment/social/life skills part of homeschooling takes us days, weeks, and months! Example: Monday night I took J with me on a tour of an organic mushroom farm. That was social skills (listening in a crowd, navigating multiple adults who had to tell him how cute he was, keeping calm in an appropriate way during the thunderstorm that unexpectedly cropped up), science (mushroom substrate, mushroom spores, temperature, fall crops, chickens, time change/seasonal changes, experimentation, pasteurization, what is organic? Weather, including thunder, lightning, and rainbows!), social studies (what is a farm? Where do we get our food? Different jobs on a farm, grants for farm entrepreneurs, how do different people live? What's an intentional community?), and P.E. (hiking).
So here's my list of approaches to homeschooling. Disclaimer: this list is in no way complete! And I've tried to organize it from most structured to least structured, although that will depend a lot on you and your child's needs. And finally, be sure you understand what your state's legal requirements are for homeschoolers. This may also determine which of these approaches will work for you although even the least structured approaches can generally be made to work in even highly regulated states.
- School at home. Mom or dad is the teacher (or you can get a tutor or do this as part of a co-op) and kids sit in a room designated as the classroom and follow a routine similar to what they would in a traditional school. Some people do school at home and use videotaped or on-line curricula, but basically it's replicating the traditional classroom at home. School at home requires the purchase of a packaged curriculum, including textbooks, worksheets, tests, etc. and is very structured. Included in this can be distance programs (classes through a private school or a public e-learning program). This also might include following your state's Standard Course of Study or the Common Core Curriculum, something most states don't require of homeschoolers but may be a choice you make should you want to put your child(ren) back in school in the future.
- Classical Education. This is a philosophy of homeschooling described in the book The Well-Trained Mind by Susan Wise Bauer. Basically, it lays out certain skill groups and subjects according to developmental levels determined by the author, and its focus is on the classics, Latin, reading, and writing. To follow this method children need to already be readers, so for kids who struggle with reading or who are more interested in math and the sciences this is probably not the best approach.
- Waldorf. This description is from The Homeschool Diner and it pretty much sums it up: "Waldorf instruction relies on lecture-based experiential learning where a subject is introduced through direct experiences, then children are guided to explore the subject, then the concept is discussed as a group. Waldorf emphasizes arts and crafts, music and movement, natural science, spirituality, and group social skills. Children routinely journal their experiences, thoughts, and conclusions, including daily drawing and painting." The Waldorf method includes holding off on formal academics until children are 7.
- Charlotte Mason. Nature studies, drawing, painting, long walks, and journaling, as well as an emphasis on real books (instead of textbooks, primers, or worksheets), and history through historic fiction. If I were being homeschooled this is what *I* would like the best.
- Self-directed learning. The child decides what he or she wants to learn about and the parent facilitates this. Could include taking teacher-led classes and on-line classes, but could also include independent studies in areas of interest, internships, and jobs.
- Unschooling. The child not only decides what he/she wants to learn about, but whether or not he/she wants to learn. The philosophy behind this is that all children are learning all the time.
- Deschooling. Basically, taking a break. Similar to unschooling but more for psychological reasons vs. any learning theory. Many people whose children have gone to school recommend this as a way to unlearn bad habits, bad feelings, or simply bad habits. Especially recommended for children who've had a hard time in school. When we first pulled J out of school we tried to get him to do some more formal school work but he was so burnt out that he – and we – needed a break for a while.
- Eclectic. Picking and choosing based on you and your child's needs. This is what we do. Some of J's school tasks are more programmed – he does the basics using an online curriculum – and some are less so: we do field trips a lot, he goes to camps and takes classes here and there – and he follows his own interests in practically everything else. A lot of what we do each day depends on our schedule, our play opportunities (play dates with friends take precedence over practically anything else!), and his mood. Kids with FASD (fetal alcohol spectrum disorder) have "good" brain days and "bad" brain days – if he's having a "bad" brain day where he's having trouble doing tasks that had been simple the day before, or he gets fatigued quickly, or he's feeling angry and frustrated, it's simple for us to switch tracks and do something else. His older brother, who is neurotypical, also follows an eclectic approach although since he's nearing high school and he wants to go to college, we work on deciding his tasks based on what he might need to prepare for the future as well as basing it on what he's most interested in.
For more approaches to homeschooling please check out The Homeschool Diner. And don't be afraid to mix and match. That's the beauty of homeschooling!

Speculative fiction titles, whether science fiction, fantasy, or horror, are wildly popular in the general market. The Christian market, however, is another story. Why is this? Do Christians not read spec-fic, or is Christian spec-fic inferior to its secular counterparts? In Part One of our series, Frank Creed, Jeff Gerke and Rebecca Miller, helped us work through the complexities and nuances of Christian Speculative Fiction. Part Two, here, continues that discussion.
In addition to our interview (and as a means of highlighting Christian Spec-fic), we will be giving away three free eBooks (downloadable PDF's) of the latest (and much-anticipated!) Coach's Midnight Diner to three lucky commenters. If you leave a comment and an appropriate means of contact (website, email, Blogger profile, etc.), you'll be entered into a drawing for a Diner eBook. Sounds like a deal to me!
4.) There is much discussion about what distinguishes Christian Fiction from the general market. Is it recurrent "redemptive" themes, the absence of language, God / Christ figures? How explicitly "Christian" must a speculative work be if it is published by ECPA houses? What strictures must a Christian spec author recognize in aiming for the religious market?
JEFF: I think if you're aiming for traditional CBA houses with speculative fiction your Christian content had better be blatant and overt. You have to be more Christian than Christian, if you will, to overcome the obstacles I spoke of in the previous post.
When you come out to the Wild West that is indie publishing, the question becomes more pertinent and subjective. For Marcher Lord Press, I have to 1) know that the author is coming from the Christian worldview and 2) see that this book--or this series--is going to have a solid Christian foundation.
You can see that's pretty subjective. All I can say is that when I'm reading these manuscripts, I know when I see it and I know when it's lacking.
BECKY: My guess is, few of us aim for the religious market. Some do. I assume Sharon Hinck is, with her Sword of Lyric series. In my efforts to find a publisher with an ECPA house, I hoped that the religious market would be a starting point, but that my books would branch out from there.
Speculative fiction lends itself to doing so much more than other genre or literary fiction, in my view. Christian science fiction can explore the ethics and spiritual implications of future technology. Supernatural suspense can explore the interplay between the spiritual and the physical. Fantasy can explore the nature of God, of evil, of good, and man's capacity to face adversity. So, no, I don't think Christian fiction requires recurrent redemptive themes, though I don't see that theme as tired or over done. Any theme can appear to be tired or over done if it is treated the same time after time.
As to how explicitly Christian a speculative work must be for ECPA houses, I think you need to ask someone published by an ECPA house. Or better, ask an editor in an ECPA house.
Language? I hate that question—unless you're talking about the absence of lyrical language. (LOL) Here's the thing. If someone is going to submit to a publisher with clear guidelines that say No romance, that writer would be foolish to send in a manuscript with a love scene in the first chapter. Guidelines are guidelines. If a writer doesn't like the guidelines, they send their work elsewhere. Publishers are free to set whatever guidelines they want, and writers are free to submit within those guidelines. If publishers' guidelines prohibit the use of swear words or cussing, then a good writer can write around that using suggestion, or if all else fails, by telling.
I find it sad that we writers take up so much time grousing about whether we can or can't use certain words when we talk very little about how we can more accurately, completely show who God is.
FRANK: There's certain piousness, a sense of spiritual propriety and taste demanded by Christian readers—a line that cannot be crossed. Ted Dekker expressed this idea in his Where the Map Ends interview with Jeff: "Christian bookstores are sometimes afraid to give readers honest choices for fear of offending a few. A comic book of mine was recently pulled due to violent content. I showed a bad dude being clocked. He bled. I showed the blood."
Some Christians fear that big houses and corporations buying-out smaller Christian houses will result in a loss of proper Biblical theology in Christian fiction. Publishing companies are in business to make money, and free market profit motive will keep them honest. Anyone gaining a reputation for poor theology will be boycotted by organized religion and readers alike. This issue reminds me of a question reportedly put to Martin Luther by his Catholic priest: what if there was a Bible in every home for everyone to interpret? Luther replied that we might have more Christians. Luther also said Sola Scriptura.
It's one thing to enforce Biblical theology. Extra-Biblical censorship that interferes with the rules of good literature is another. Every publisher has its own submission guidelines, and standards. Mandating a certain number of saved characters, or telling rather than showing in cases of intimacy and action, or outlawing characters from cigarettes or alcohol use means the real sinful world in which we live cannot be reflected in Christian literature.
Again the free-market rides to the rescue. This line of propriety is tested and pushed by the Indies, and shifts toward realism in bigger houses. In recent years I've been continually surprised by controversial content that's been allowed. Barbour Books allowed my favorite living Christian novelist, M.L. Tyndall, to show dueling pirates run-through opponents with cutlasses in her Legacy of the King's Pirates trilogy. A decade ago that would never have happened.
Gratuitous sex and violence will never be desired by many readers, let alone Christian readers. I don't want my own children reading certain things. For Christian spec-fic artists, the market has never been brighter for either publication or realism. A sense of propriety demanded by our audience is simply part of the challenge to us Christians who find ourselves driven to write novels.
I wrote Flashpoint for an audience who'd been raised churched. Readers say my gang-leader and government agent protagonists are realistic, yet they don't curse. My weapons are non-lethal, and the sexy anchorwoman who sells lies to the public is clothed—all this in a gritty 2036 setting. Again, believers don't want to read that stuff, so it's up to authors to make such things believable and entertaining.
5.) What effect do alternative publishing ventures -- specifically, small independent presses and royalty POD publishers -- have on the genre? Do they increase interest and build readership, or undermine its potential expansion in the mainstream market?
BECKY: I've pretty much changed my mind about POD publishers. When Jeff first unveiled his ideas for Marcher Lord Press, I was disappointed it would be POD. But with the changes publishing is experiencing, I think MLP might be on the cutting edge. The question will be, Can writers make enough money via this format to keep writing? If POD can develop an in-store presence, as I think Thomas Nelson is aiming for, I think there's a big future there.
I think all the different enterprises help the genre. There are far more writers than there are open slots in traditional publishing houses, even if they published nothing but speculative fiction. From what I see online, more and more young people are lining up with fantasies they want to publish too. I think we mostly write what we want to read, so this many speculative writers can only help bring more attention to the genre.
Of course, if my theory is accurate, it also means we aren't finding enough books on the shelves to read, which is why we're writing so much!
FRANK: The current state of business is what it is, for all of literature's genres. Major houses sign new authors infrequently—they sign proven established names. It's simply more profitable, working smarter rather than harder, to use small Indie presses and royalty POD publishers as the minor leagues. Slush piles are a thing of the past for the big boys. Once the smaller companies have risked establishing new successful authors, along comes the MegaCorp with the standard rich-and-famous contract, to steal that author away. The Shack is a case study. William P. Young submitted his manuscript to large houses and was rejected for the same reasons spec-fic authors hear—too Christian for mainstream and too controversial for ECPA. Young and a couple of friends established Windblown Media, their own publishing company, and ordered 10 000 copies printed.
After The Shack exploded, publishers, including houses that had rejected him, began calling. Young's Windblown Media signed a distribution and marketing contract with Hatchette Book Group (once Time-Warner Books); there are now 6 million+ copies in print and it still holds #1 on the NY Times Best Sellers list. The more one knows about business and marketing, the greater one's odds of publication.
If there are dollars to be made, big companies board meetings result in phone-calls to the William P. Youngs of the world. Christian artists may have literary fiction-ministry visions, but in the end, it's about the mOnEy. Sad, but at least our art form thrives. Those poor Christian sculptors!
JEFF: What effect do alternative publishing ventures have on the genre? Very little. Oh, the major houses say they're watching Marcher Lord Press and pulling for me, but until one of these ventures takes off like crazy I think it will just validate the hesitations these traditional houses already have.
I've actually given up trying to change the industry. After working within it for 12 years and meeting with mostly frustration, I've decided to just go off and try to build something new out in some pioneer state.
Indie houses like MLP are trying to reach people the traditional CBA houses have already written off, after all. And they're trying to succeed with books that traditional CBA houses know won't fly with their core market.
The reason I did MLP is not to do anything to the publishing industry, but to get these incredible writers hooked up with these amazing fans of Christian speculative fiction. Let the big cruise ship that is CBA publishing steam along on its way. We're going to do something fun all on our own.
6.) What advice would you give to Christian authors who write Speculative Fiction? Continue aiming mainstream CBA / ECPA and hope for change? Forego the big houses and go the independent, small press route? Or forget straightforward religious themes altogether and write to the general market?
JEFF: Well, you have to write the books of your heart. If you can do that and go for (secular) houses, try it. But don't think that things are easier in the ABA. It's much more difficult to get noticed there, much less published. Much more competition.
I think writers of Christian speculative fiction ought to try to get their books published through the traditional CBA houses. If they get in, they're almost guaranteed to sell more copies of the book than most indie presses can move. And that's a good thing for the writer. There's always the chance that the book will go big.
At Marcher Lord Press I tend to attract two kinds of authors: 1) frustrated first-time authors who see a possible outlet for their writing and 2) seasoned, multi-published authors who are tired of playing the CBA game and just want to write the book of their hearts--which happens to be speculative. Both groups love speculative and are frustrated to discover that no one else wants their off-the-map stories.
So give the big CBA houses a try if you'd like, but don't buy the new yacht yet on hopes of landing a big advance. If that route doesn't work out, consider the advantages of going with a small house that loves what you write and knows how to get it to the people who can appreciate it
BECKY: My advice is to write the story God puts on your heart and mind, then trust Him to show you where to go. ECPA needs good books. The general market needs good books. For some writers with good networking, they can get their books out without the backing of a larger publishing house. The independent publishers provide that avenue, but they also need good books. Nothing hurts the reputation of Christian speculative fiction, no matter who the publisher, more than a poorly written book.
So my second piece of advice is for all of us to be perpetual students of fiction.
As to forgetting "straightforward religious themes" I would say, why would you do that? Of course, God hasn't called everyone to write "straightforward religious themes," but if He has, then it would be a huge mistake to forgo those.
If by "straightforward religious themes" you mean didactic themes, however, then I say, there's no place for those in any book for any publisher in any market. That's not good fiction.
FRANK: Writing, like any art, is a journey. I'll never stop wondering how there can be so few musical notes and so many songs. So few colors and so many paintings. Literary artists have distinct styles, voices, purposes, preferences, and forms. Every writer's sojourn is as different as their approach to the craft.
Authors have a first piece. Mastering the craft may be a personal waypoint on one's trek, but one never stops learning. Similarly, the day comes when a writer researches beyond craft. One may encounter business success for their art, and is then able to spend more hours of fiction word-count. In business just like in craft, there are only individual journeys—too many different paths from point A to point B for anyone to say this is how you find success. Individual victories are measured in too many different ways. I will say one must bring the Boss one's best effort. All one can do is spiritwalk the Parable of the Talents. Show up every day in faith, and let His will be done.
Thanks once again to Frank, Becky, and Jeff, for their participation and terrific insights. We're blessed by you guys and appreciate your hard work! And don't forget to leave a comment if you'd liked to be entered into our Midnight Diner eBook giveaway... or if you just want to add to the discussion.

Hey, Asian guys. I'm a blonde girl who is specially attracted to Asians, especially East Asians.
But I never met any Asians who showed interest to me, and I don't think it's because I'm unattractive, since many of my friends think I'm 7-8/10.
A number of people say Asian guys are shy, especially when it comes to non-Asian guys. Then what are the signs that they are possible to be interested to me?
And should I make some initiations? And if I need to, what should I do to approach and attract an Asian guy who I'm interested in.
(Note: I'm also shy, so...)
Most Helpful Guy
I can't say that there's going to be anything unique about an Asian guy being attracted to you compared to any other ethnicity.
Are we talking 1st generation Asian males in the US?
"And should I make some initiations? And if I need to, what should I do to approach and attract an Asian guy who I'm interested in."
- Be friendly and approachable just like you would anyone and let him come to you.11|00|0
Well, I'm talking about the general Asian guys, regardless how long they have been here.
Most Helpful Girl
I'm currently dating a South Korean who came to the USA 2 years ago. I'm not fully white like you though, I'm half black and half white.
When we first started talking he texted a lot, and always wanted to hang out. He tried to bring me into his circle as much as possible and was super sweet and patient.
I will tell you that men are men to an extent and will make you the focus of all of their attention if you're the one who catches their eye. My boyfriend was not shy, and from the moment he approached me at the bus stop that day, I could see it that he liked me.
If you have to guess whether a guy likes you, he probably doesn't like you.
Shy guys aren't that different, as they silently make you their focus. If he finds reasons to look at you a lot, or make small awkward small talk, he could be interested.
The best way to know is to just ask though. You won't die, and you will get a clear answer :) Good luck!!11|00|0

According to the rumour mills, Mammootty is hesitant to share the screen with his good friend Mohanlal. A popular online media reports that Shaji Kailas's Mammootty-Mohanlal project was shelved due to the same reason.
Reports suggest that Mammootty is not so keen to do a big budget multi-starrer movie now. The actor is not willing to take risks in his career right now, owing to his recent success.
It is also rumoured that the actor is not willing take chances by teaming up with Mohanlal, owing to the failure of his last big budget multi-starrer movie, The King And The Commissioner.
Mammootty is reportedly planning to bring back his career into a stable state, with some low budget ventures and performance oriented roles. This another reason for the actor's hesitancy to go for a big project.
Reportedly, Mammootty is also not ready to associate with Shaji Kailas, due to the same reason. The duo's last few movie, including Drona 2010, August 15 and The King And The Commissioner, were flops.
In short, a Mammootty-Mohanlal starrer movie will not materialize in near future. Mammootty is planning to be active with some light projects; while Mohanlal is concentrating on high-voltage masala entertainers.
Check out the slides for the 10 popular movies of Mammootty-Mohanlal duo
Adiyozhukkukal is a drama penned by MT Vasudevan Nair and directed by IV Sasi. Mammootty played the central character in the movie while Mohanlal appeared in a key role. Semma essayed the female lead.
Anubandhanam is an emotional drama which marked another collaboration of the trio Mammootty-Mohanlal-Seema, with director IV Sasi and writer MT Vasudevan Nair. Shobana also essayed a pivotal role in the film.
Athirathram is the classic crime thriller of Mollywood, in which Mammootty essayed the popular character Tharadas. Mohanlal played Prasad, a policeman. Seema essayed the female lead in the movie, directed by IV Sasi.
Aviduthepole Ivideyum
Aviduthepole Ivideyum is a family entertainer directed by KS Sethumadhavan. Mammootty played Mohanlal's brother-in-law in the movie, which funnily depicted the family relationships. Shobana played the female lead in the movie.
Poomukhappadiyil Ninneyum Kaathu
Poomukhappadiyil Ninneyum Kaathu, directed by Bhadran, had Mammootty in the role of a middle-aged man while Mohanlal essayed his happy-go-lucky brother-in-law. The movie also had Srividhya, Rahman and Thilakan in pivotal roles.
It is considered as one of the brilliant thrillers of Malayalam cinema. The movie, directed by P Padmarajan, had Mammootty in the role of movie director Harikrishnan and Mohanlal, in the role of a police officer who investigates Hari's murder.
Gandhinagar 2nd Street
Mammootty made an extended cameo appearance in the movie, which had Mohanlal in the central role. Gandhinagar 2nd Street is penned by Sreenivasan and directed by Sathyan Anthikad.
No.20 Madras Mail
The movie which made the Mammootty-Mohanlal combo a huge sensation. Interestingly, Mammootty made an extended cameo as himself in the movie, which had Mohanlal in the lead role. The movie is penned by Dennis Joseph and directed by Joshiy.
It is the movie which the fans celebrated the Mammootty-Mohanlal combo to the core. Mohanlal essayed the central character Induchoodan while Mammootty made an extended cameo appearance as Adv. Nandagopal Marar. The movie is directed by Shaji Kailas.

While plenty of high-yield opportunities exist, investors must always consider the safety of their dividend and the total return potential of their investment. It is not uncommon for a struggling company to suspend high-yielding dividends which could subsequently result in precipitous share price declines.
TheStreet Ratings' stock rating model views dividends favorably, but not so much that other factors are disregarded. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel — rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 3 stocks with substantial yields, that ultimately, we have rated "Buy."
Golar LNGDividend Yield: 4.10% Golar LNG (NASDAQ: GLNG) shares currently have a dividend yield of 4.10%. Golar LNG Limited, a midstream liquefied natural gas (LNG) company, is engaged in the transportation, regasification and liquefaction, and trading of LNG. The company operates in two segments, Vessel Operations and Commodity Trading. The company has a P/E ratio of 27.49. The average volume for Golar LNG has been 948,200 shares per day over the past 30 days. Golar LNG has a market cap of $3.5 billion and is part of the transportation industry. Shares are up 20.4% year-to-date as of the close of trading on Thursday. TheStreet Ratings rates Golar LNG as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and solid stock price performance. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat weak growth in earnings per share. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The current debt-to-equity ratio, 0.40, is low and is below the industry average, implying that there has been successful management of debt levels. To add to this, GLNG has a quick ratio of 1.86, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, GLNG's share price has jumped by 28.78%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Looking ahead, the stock's sharp rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.
- GLNG, with its very weak revenue results, has greatly underperformed against the industry average of 3.3%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues plummeted by 80.1%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- The gross profit margin for GOLAR LNG LTD is currently extremely low, coming in at 9.78%. It has decreased significantly from the same period last year. Despite the weak results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 21.82% has significantly outperformed against the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to $10.25 million or 89.48% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.

General Wisdom
At the end of each of our shows, directors, stage managers, and sometimes designers meet with a couple of staff members to discuss their projects and to reflect on the ups and downs of their processes. Here is a selection of the advice past crews would like to pass on to future shows:
Show/Process Advice
- Work on other peoples' shows before deciding to direct.
- Make sure your designers know whom to contact on staff.
- Book rehearsal & performance spaces as early as possible.
- Pre-casting may not be the best way to do things.
- Don't cast people who you know have ridiculous schedules if there's another good option. It's better to have to do more work with someone who will actually be present.
- Don't be afraid to ask staff for help.
- Second Stage not centered around the '92. If your show is assigned a campus space, it is not because we think your show is less important than others; rather, another location on campus might be more conducive to your artistic vision. Second Stage productions have thrived in locations such as Indian Hill and Olin Library.
- Don't stop yourself from taking on a project because it seems too ambitious or crazy.
- Don't be afraid to cast someone with little or no acting experience.
- Working with classic texts should not be daunting - in fact, putting your own spin on a well-known play gives you unlimited creativity.
- Use a fight choreographer for any and all moments that are violent or could potentially be dangerous.
- If you have a non-traditional production team configuration (e.g. co-SMs, a large number of directors, a playwright-director partnership, etc.) sit down with your team and write a "roommate contract" of sorts. Discuss who can be expected to perform each task, how potential conflicts will be dealt with, and what the dynamic in the rehearsal room will be. Actually, you might want to do this even if you have a traditional production team.
- Use the Second Stage website as a resource. It's awesome. We promise.
- If you are working in a campus space and you are having conflicts with the people who run that campus space, talk to us. We are an organization. We have power. We can help you negotiate with them.
- If you are looking for an intensive, more professional rehearsal process, consider rehearsing over winter break and going up early in the spring semester. Rehearsing when classes are not in session means that you and your actors can give their undivided attention to the play.
- There is no typical Second Stage production. Dance groups, come work with us. Performance artists, come work with us. Festival-type-things, come work with us. If you feel that our Show App isn't suited to the needs of your show, contact us.
Design/Tech Advice
- Don't underestimate the time and effort tech will take.
- Ask for help early (carpenters, electricians, etc.)—don't wait until things aren't getting done in time. And get as many people as you can.
- Have people on your team who are inexperienced but known to be competent, because that creates more experienced people. For example, it can work to have inexperienced set and lighting designers paired with experienced master carpenters and electricians.
- Pay attention to what you see in other shows in terms of props, etc, because those are resources you know you'll have for yours.
- WestCo is not the only campus space option.
- Designers: It is always better to tell your director in advance when you are not going to be able to finish a task on time. Don't wait until you are already behind schedule to tell them. Be honest!
- Have a detailed plan for tech and stick to it. Give yourself strict deadlines.
- Matinees can affect the amount of light you get in your performance space.
- Don't forget to get purchases approved.
- Don't ever put aesthetics before safety (but at the same time, there is often a way to make your aesthetically pleasing designs very safe.)
- Educate your cast on how to move around the set safely.
- Let limitations (space, money, time, life) inspire creativity.
- Don't limit yourself because you want a shorter strike.
Playwrights Advice
- Use AnyStage as a stepping stone to a full production. You can do as many readings, workshops and talkbacks as you want at each stage of your writing or revision process. Hearing it out loud, working with actors and receiving feedback from your audience will be invaluable to you as you revise your play. You want your play to be the best it can possibly be before you embark on a full production, and using AnyStage will help you get there.
- Some playwrights prefer to direct their own work. Others write better work when collaborating with a director they trust and who genuinely cares about the play as much as they do. If you are working with a director, talk to them about what your role in the rehearsal process will be. See "roommate contract" idea above.
- If you are writing or re-writing your play throughout the rehearsal process, manage your time well. Agree on deadlines with your cast and director, and let them know in advance if you don't think you can make a deadline. Don't ask your actors to memorize a ton of new lines during production week, or throw off the rehearsal schedule because you couldn't meet a deadline.
Life Advice
- Don't assume everyone you're working with will be on top of their shit. But don't do other people's jobs for them. Clear communication of what you expect throughout the process (deadlines, job expectations, etc) is crucial, even before a person accepts a position.
- Don't do multiple major projects in a semester—it will make life difficult for not only you but everyone who has to work around your schedule.
- Know what you're getting into.
- Doing a show can be stressful, but also fun. Never lose sight of the fun in it all.

Maxine Waters Reclaiming Her Time Just Became Everyone's New Summer '17 Mantra
California Congresswoman Maxine Waters puts her foot down by reclaiming her time.
The Blind Side earned a Oscar nomination for best picture and raked in $300 million in the box office, but just because it was based on the life story of Michael Oher, doesn't mean the NFL player likes the 2009 movie. In fact, Oher thinks the film hurt his NFL career.
"I'm not trying to prove anything,'' Oher told ESPN. "People look at me, and they take things away from me because of a movie. They don't really see the skills and the kind of player I am. That's why I get downgraded so much, because of something off the field. This stuff, calling me a bust, people saying if I can play or not...that has nothing to do with football. It's something else off the field. That's why I don't like that movie.
"That's taken away from my football,'' Oher added. "That's why people criticize me. That's why people look at me every single play.''
Oher even went as far as to say that he gets scrutinized more than any other offensive lineman in the league.
"Offensive linemen don't get looked at,'' Oher said. "Nobody is paying attention to the offensive line. But me? I'm getting watched for everything. I know what type of player I am. Everybody else that I know knows what type of player I am. So that kind of stuff doesn't worry me.''
At 29, Oher will attempt to help the Carolina Panthers in the NFC South division this 2015 season during the fall.

After sourcing through some furniture, we all agreed on a white classic style which will permit this room to change through time and grow with the girl. Gray and vintage rose were the basic colors used to generate a spacious feeling in this small room.
As a mom, I know sometimes toys and playtime can get out of hand. To resolve this dilemma I offer my client several organizational options. As you'll see from the before photos, the shelves were full of plush toys. By using baskets I was able to provide a clean look without throwing away any of the toys.
The mirror behind the headboard helped this room feel more airy but at the same time carried the abstract flower them repeated in some of the elements used.
I really enjoyed designing this room, from the selection of each piece, to the styling process. Let me know what was your favorite part in this room. I always enjoy reading you!

Your dad was one of the original trendsetters, here are some of his legacies.
(Images: Getty & Dads Are The Original Hipsters)
That old pair of jeans that are so ripped they're hanging beneath your knees? Cut them loose, and you have yourself a pair of jorts. Your dad wore them first but we wouldn't suggest going that short.
You may have been born in the eighties but your dad was owning them.
He probably had the bike to match but the jackets are still going strong.
You'll always strive for your father's facial hair, but let's be real. Yours pales in comparison.
Bow to your forefathers, hipsters.
You questioned them when you were younger, now you covet them.
Your dad was rocking this as a child. Let that sink in.
The man bun has nothing on the ultimate unkempt hair of the 70s.
Your dad was pioneering 'normcore' while you were puking on all his good stuff.
He's probably got an original pair of Ray Bans in his desk drawer you would kill for.
Where would we be without them?
Every summer. Every man, woman and child.

My husband and I are planning a trip to Seattle this Fall with either visiting Portland OR or Vancouver. Since I know nothing about the West Coast, I just know Fodorites will help me out. We are in our 60's and usually take a trip to Europe but have decided to keep our money in the USofA this time.
We are sightseers and people watchers more that nature lovers.
Thanks in advance....

DW and I really like Vancouver, BC. Enjoy visiting Granville Island, Stanley Park, the Gastown area, Chinatown, ect. Also interesting museums and a great food scene.
Downside is you have to endure the border crossing issues that still can cause traffic backups.
Don't have as much experience with Portland, but it has a lot to offer plus the OR wine country is nearby if you have a car.

How much time do you have and what are your interests? Also, when in the Fall - could be a weather difference.
Seattle and Vancouver are the biggest cities - very urban. Both are beautiful. They have a different feel. Seattle is grungier and funkier with a lot of interesting neighborhoods. Vancouver is cleaner and has an amazing downtown and park system - more planned and organized. Stanley Park and the entire waterfront is great. Vancouver has preserved more of the native American feel (totem pole culture). It is a mix of China and England, in a way.
Portland is smaller and funky - lots of out-of-the box stuff in weird Portland, and gems, like the Japanese and Chinese Gdns.
Not to confuse, but Victoria should be on your short list as an alternative as well. It's a ferry ride from Seattle and is very picturesque and charming. Buchardt Gdns are outstanding.
You may want to throw in some natural wonders, like Mt. Rainier, when you come here, or go to an island. (Victoria is on a BIG island).
So, what do you like to do?

Depending on how many days you have to spend, you could do all three. Fly to PDX and ride the TriMet light rail into the city. the end of the Red line is right outside the baggage claim at PDX. Spend a full day in the city before renting a car for such things as the waterfalls and Mt. Hood east of the city nad Astoria and the coast south of Astoria.
Return the rental car in downtown Portland and take a train to Seattle. Spend a full day in Seattle before renting a car for such things as Mt. Rainier and or/Olympic National Parks.
if you want to see the city of Victoria, take the Port Angeles ferry over. Return to Seattle and return the rental car and take the Amtrak bus or train to Vancouver. You really do not need a rental car in Vancouver since there is a great deal of the city that you can walk or take a HOHO bus to see including Stanley Park. I'm sure you can fly home from Vancouver.
Enjoy your trip to the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

Four days? Twenty-three days? October? November? Do you mind renting cars?
A wee bit more information will really help.

The, uh, Vancouver "in the USofA" isn't the one everybody talks about.
(and you can't even bank on somebody dousing you with acid there - though somebody may douse themselves and perhaps blame it ON you)
If indeed you are willing to allow some of your money outside of the USofA... then Vancouver, Canada tops Portland by a landslide. Vancouver is even slightly nearer to Seattle than is Portland, OR.
Report Abuse
There's no right or wrong answer. All 3 are great cities (you need your passport for Vancouver). Victoria is a good suggestion to toss into the mix.
Report Abuse
My choice is Seattle and Portland, mostly because Portland is within an easy drive of two of the most spectacular natural attractions in the NW--the Columbia River Gorge (with its waterfalls) and the Oregon Coast.
The NW really isn't an ideal destination for people like you who don't love nature.
Vancouver is the best place out here for "people watchers." It is the most cosmopolitan city on the west coast.

Kerry Katona's estranged husband denies assaulting her
Kerry Katona's estranged husband has denied beating her up.
George Kay, who was arrested following an alleged bust-up with the singer last year, stood before a judge at Hove Crown Court in East Sussex today (11.01.16) and pleaded not guilty to charges of assault and possession of a banned weapon.
The labourer, from Warrington in Cheshire, was released on bail on the conditions that he doesn't contact Kerry - except via an agreed third party - and does not enter her home town of Crowborough, where the alleged assault took place.
But it seemed George wasn't completely happy with the conditions as it meant he couldn't get his hair cut.
Asked whether he could go to the small town in East Sussex to smarten up his 'do, Judge David Rennie replied: "No, that's slightly daft. You can get your hair cut somewhere else."
George, 35, will stand trial at Brighton, Hove or Lewes Crown Court for up to three days from April 25, and Kerry, 35, who married the sportsman in 2014, is likely to give evidence in the case, according to the Daily Mirror newspaper.
George was arrested on October 3 last year after the former Atomic Kitten allegedly sustained bruises to her face following a row at their home in Crowborough, East Sussex.
He was later charged with assault by beating and unlawful possession of a stun gun disguised as a torch.
A few days after the incident, Kerry, announced her decision to divorce George, with whom she has 19-month-old daughter Dylan, following just 11 months of marriage.
Kerry also has children Molly, 14, and Lilly-Sue, 12, with former Westlife star Brian McFadden, and Heidi, eight, and Max, seven, with ex-husband Mark Croft

When working on a sewing project, you will want to have a bobbin full of thread in the appropriate color for what you're making. It's possible to wind thread onto a bobbin by hand, however this method is extremely time-consuming and does not wind the thread as tightly as a machine can. Loosely wound thread results in less thread fitting on the bobbin, and if it's very loose, it may get caught in your machine, causing a lot of frustration later on. Luckily, Singer sewing machines are able to quickly and neatly wind your bobbins for you with only a minimal amount of preparation.
Things You'll Need
- Thread
Place a spool of thread in your chosen color onto the spool pin at the top of the machine. Slide the spool holder onto the pin; this will hold the spool securely in place and prevent the thread from becoming tangled as it's pulled.
Put an empty bobbin onto the bobbin pin, located at the top right of the machine. Before you proceed, disable the sewing needle from moving, either by pushing the bobbin pin all the way to the right or by pressing the indent on the hand wheel. The method required for your machine will depend on what model you have, but all Singer machines use one or the other.
Pass the thread from the spool through the thread guide, which is located to the left of the spool holder. Depending on your machine model, there may be a second thread guide located in front of the first one. After the thread has gone through the thread guide(s), pull the thread over toward the bobbin pin and pass the end of the thread up through the small hole in the top of the bobbin.
Step gently on the machine's presser foot to begin slowly winding thread onto the bobbin. Hold on to the end of the thread until it has wound around the bobbin a few times; you can then let go once it is secure and increase your pressure on the presser foot to speed up the winding. The winding will stop automatically when the bobbin is full. Cut the thread and remove the bobbin from the bobbin pin.
Disengage the lock on the needle by pressing the hand wheel indent again or pushing the bobbin pin all the way to the left. You can then insert the bobbin into its case, thread the machine, and begin sewing.

The based-on-fact tale of German-American fighter pilot Dieter Dengler (Bale), who was shot down in Laos in the early stages of the Vietnam War, then incarcerated in a POW camp. There, he attempts to rally his listless comrades and stage an escape.
Christian Bale, it would seem, is at the mercy of his cheekbones. While they lend him a hacked-from-marble intensity that marks him out as the best-looking Batman yet, they're apparently determined to pierce free of his flesh at least once every few movies - followed by his shoulder blades, ribs, hips…
How else to explain his decision to again shed girth and muscle-mass for Rescue Dawn, as he did for his wincingly skeletal performance in The Machinist? Here we see him once more hitting a masculine size zero as his character suffers the privations of POW-camp life. It's not quite as severe as his look in The Machinist, and co-star Jeremy Davies (now less an actor than a tediously limited repertoire of tics) outdoes him in the xylophone-ribcage stakes, but you can't fault Bale's dedication.
It transfers well to the character of Dengler himself, for whom writer/director Werner Herzog clearly has a lot of love. Back in 1997, he documented the real-life pilot's 'Nam (mis)adventure in Little Dieter Needs To Fly. Coursing with Boy's Own bravado, tempered by a will of steel, Bale's Dengler utilises impressive survival skills to stave off starvation, boredom, abuse and even the intransigence of his fellow POWs and attempt a remarkable break-out.
Even ignoring the fact that Herzog's already told this story, he's on very familiar territory here, especially when Dengler and his buddy Duane (Steve Zahn) become entangled in the jungle. Echoes of Aguirre and Fitzcarraldo reverberate around Dengler's predicament, although the latter's ultimately delirium-tinged obsessiveness is rather less interesting given its more valiant roots. And the story rumbles along on a narrow, well-worn track that allows only the occasional small surprise, while the final moments are a little too literally uplifting. Not that it's uninvolving; it's just a shame to see Herzog being so, well, conventional.
Herzogs planted rather too firmly in his discomfort zone, but Bale once again confirms himself as one of our most intense, committed and watchable actors.

The ING Renault F1 Team enjoyed a trouble-free opening day of practice in Istanbul, completing nearly 100 laps in total in spite of a twenty-five minute delay during second practice following a red flag for a loose drain cover.
As is usual during the three hours of Friday running, the team focused on basic race set-up work, as well as conducting a comparison of the two types of Bridgestone tyre (the hard and medium compounds from the 2007 range) available this weekend. Both drivers were reasonably pleased with the handling balance of the R27, although there are still more improvements to be made overnight, and feel they have made a positive start to the weekend.
Heikki Kovalainen:
"I was quite happy with the balance from the first run this morning, and we improved it all the way through the two sessions. I had a yellow flag on my final run, which stopped me from improving my time, but everybody had the same conditions. The red flag meant we weren't able to do all of our set-up changes, and there are still some improvements that we know can be made to find more pace. It has been a positive start to the weekend, I am happy with the car at this stage and I know there is more performance to come tomorrow.
Giancarlo Fisichella:
"I had a small problem with the engine mapping on the final run, which meant I wasn't able to get a good answer on the final set-up changes, but otherwise there was nothing unusual for me in either session. We had to change the programme round a little bit after the red flag, but the situation was the same for the other teams as well. The car balance is still a little bit inconsistent, so there are areas for us to work on overnight, but I think we seem to be in our usual position in the bottom half of the top ten -- and we have made a good start.
Pat Symonds, Executive Director of Engineering:
"From the team's perspective, it was a pretty straightforward day. The time we lost with the red flag meant that we had to shift our programme around a little, which compromised things slightly. Equally, the yellow flag in the first sector at the end of the session prevented the drivers from improving their times. But those were factors that every team had to deal with, so we didn't lose anything in relative terms. Both tyres are performing well at this demanding circuit, and the drivers are pretty comfortable with the car.
Denis Chevrier, Head of Engine Track Operations:
"As always when visiting a circuit where we run only once a year, there was plenty to do today, fine-tuning parameters such as the engine mapping and gear ratios to extract maximum performance from the RS27 engine. It was a trouble-free day, and both engines performed well. The red flag during second practice cost all of the teams some set-up time, and perhaps on Sunday evening, that will prove to have been important. From the team's point of view, though, this was a promising start to the weekend, and we will hope to build on it to ensure a strong qualifying performance tomorrow."

One of the reasons that people in this post-postmodern world respond so passionately to outdoor art is its impermanence. It will not be there forever, reminding us of our own fleeting existence. And 'Duct Work, a massive mural project just completed in the viaduct space under I-70 at 46th Avenue and York Street, is definitely doomed: When the I-70 expansion project finally starts, the art will go. In the meantime, it's reinvigorated a unique urban spot in Denver.
"We want to make sure we get the whole viaduct painted eventually, so we're going to have lots of chances for more artists," says project organizer Kendall Peterson of CIG, who worked with the Colorado Department of Transportation as well as Urban Arts Fund chair Mary Valdez and Morgan Hartley of the North Denver Cornerstone Collaborative to create this massive urban-art project.
Both Peterson and Valdez have been working on getting local artists bigger and better-paying gigs every year. To find the artists for 'Duct Work, Peterson reached out to Project Colfax curator Yianni Bellis as well as Birdseed Collective's Anthony Garcia, with whom she'd worked on other mural projects on CDOT property. Together they enlisted 28 artists for this cause.
But before the artists could get to work, 'Duct Work organizers cleaned off years of caked-on pigeon-nesting mess, then installed spikes to discourage future pigeon traffic. After that, the artists got to work, creating beautiful art in a space where onlookers can enjoy it. This gritty new urban gallery is a beautiful addition to the local scene. Enjoy it while you can!

Jesse Frazier, aka Faim Worldwide, painted one of his most powerful pieces to date at 'Duct Work. It's a commemorative mural inspired by the passing of a friend, whose last words were "Love wins" — which appear on the piece and constitute its title, too. "About three years ago, I lost my friend. Just for trying to be a nice guy," Frazier says. "It's still painful; this has got me thinking about it a lot more.... Earlier in the day that happened, his last Facebook post was roughly, 'When people do you wrong and bad things happen, people lose their way. Just remember that love wins.'"

"POWER of COTTON" Project Launches in Japan
posted in:
COTTON USA partnered with an up-and-coming Japanese fashion designer, Kunihiko Morinaga, to develop innovative U.S. cotton workwear for traditional Japanese artisans as part of a "POWER of COTTON" project with VOGUE JAPAN.
Although there are numerous famous traditional craft techniques in Japan, the number of artisans has significantly decreased in the past 30 years. This COTTON USA project aims to use the "power of cotton" to stop the trend of dying Japanese traditions and renew the conventional image of artisans into a futuristic one.
With the cooperation of VOGUE JAPAN, COTTON USA selected Kunihiko Morinaga, the designer of the Japanese fashion brand ANREALAGE, for this project. Morinaga created U.S. cotton workwear for "Momentum Factory Orii," a company that uses traditional techniques in an innovative way to process copper.
The workwear's printed pattern is designed to emulate copper stains at the studio and on the clothes of the artisan. When the pure white workwear is exposed to light, a vivid pattern appears (shown above). Fusing tradition and innovation, U.S. cotton satisfies both practical and fashionable aspects for this collection.
ANREALAGE, Kunihiko Morinaga's fashion brand, will sell COTTON USA labeled products, including the innovative workwear, at pop-up stores in Japanese department stores. VOGUE JAPAN featured the "POWER of COTTON" in its April issue which hit newsstands on February 27.
Morinaga presented his first women's collection during Paris Fashion Week in 2014. His "ANREALAGE" brand is a combination of words of ''A REAL, UNREAL and AGE."

How about letting a member edit there thread indefinitely so they can add more stuff or take away stuff, Instead of them having to make a new one. Also I like the one post a month idea. Maybe if it is possible, in the for sale section of the forum let members edit the title and content of a thread and not allow posting so the people have to send a PM? that way it saves the section from clutter and when something is bought you can just "bump" or edit your thread by saying what is sold.
I was also wondering about the ability to edit after the 1st few days. If you have 6 or 7 items and you sell one or two a week later it would be nice to go into the add and edit out the sold items rather than answering a post of : is this item still available.
Is it possible to automatically delete adds after a 60 day period? Wouldn't this would reduce bandwidth and keep the adds current?

1. The purpose of this site is to discuss TECHNICAL topics that pertain to the modification of the Datsun/Nissan Z cars (240Z, 260Z, 280Z, 300ZX, 350Z). No thoughtful modification that enhances performance or styling will be put down. The philosophy is one of "parts is parts" - it doesn't matter what automaker originally made the parts, if you think that using those parts on your Z will add to it's performance or cosmetic appeal. But the emphasis is on FUNCTION, not the addition of graphics, wings, etc. to only make the Z LOOK like it is a high performance car. However, everyone has their own ideas of what stylish modifications look good or bad.
