As our children approach school age we begin to think about schooling for them, frequently not without some anxiety. It's certainly not a decision to be taken lightly. Part of what gives children dignity is their vast potential for growth and learning. In giving life, we as parents have a duty to ensure our children are prepared to live a "fully human life". Pope John Paul II, Familiaris Consortio, Article 36. We must investigate our choices and pray for discernment, taking into account our child's personality and our own goals for education.
In the U.S., we have two basic options for schooling our children: homeschooling and traditional on-site classroom placement (both public and private). Whatever we decide, we can never forget that we are our children's first educator. That doesn't mean we're their only educator, but we're the "first and foremost educators" of our children. Pope John Paul II, Letter to Families, 16. Thus, the state cannot prevent us from directing our children's education if we choose to homeschool and it cannot exclude us from the education of our children if we send them to school in an institutional setting. As parents, we have the right and duty to be interested participants in our children's education at every level no matter the placement we choose.
Here we'll explore both homeschooling and away schooling, then I'll introduce the most popular learning methods and approaches, a topic applicable to both homeschooling and away-schooling families.
Let me say right off the bat that I'm a homeschooling mom. I believe passionately in the benefits of home-based education not only for the student, but for the entire family — including Mom and Dad. I began homeschooling my oldest son when he was about to enter kindergarten. We thought we would try it for a year or two until we found an appropriate school for Aidan, but we loved it so much we've never looked back. That was nearly 10 years ago. I made the choice primarily for academic reasons – I had little faith in our local public school district and we couldn't afford a good private school. However, I soon discovered that the best thing about homeschooling had nothing to do with the quality of the education I was providing. The greatest benefit is the quality of life we enjoy as a family.
There are so many things I appreciate about our homeschooling lifestyle it's hard to narrow it down, but here are a few of them:
- I love that my children are accustomed to and enjoy one another's company.
- I love that when my children disagree or argue, I have the time to guide them in how to handle these differences with equity and love.
- I love the way our family has grown in faith together, exploring the Sacraments, popular devotionals, and liturgical traditions.
- I love that my kids can be different and still feel successful. My Dominic wouldn't fare well in a traditional setting, yet he comes to his studies with enthusiasm and a sense of pride.
- I love that my kids have lots of free time to slop around in the mud, read books, think big thoughts, stare at bugs, and live the kind of life all kids deserve.
Homeschooling is really a natural extension of our attached lifestyle. We play together, work together, learn together, and those 3 activities aren't always separated in our day. I love that!
Can You Really Do It?
Many parents wonder whether homeschooling is legal and whether they are qualified to instruct their children. First, homeschooling is legal in all 50 states. How you go about doing it legally varies by state. Compulsory education laws exist in all states, but exemptions exist that permit both private schooling and homeschooling.
Second, parents are quite capable of teaching their own children, and in fact home-based education was the norm in our own country until the early 20th century. Many great historical figures were home educated, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln. Remember that you are not starting from scratch. You have many resources available to you in teaching the children. Just in the ten years I've homeschooled, the resources available to homeschooling parents has exploded.
The hardest thing is to decide what your educational philosophy is – what your goals are and what you believe about the learner. Once you decide that, there's a curriculum available to you. Some of them are out of the box, ready to go. Others provide reading lists. There are even on-line schools that oversee the student's studies. I have personally come to relish my annual curriculum planning sessions. It's like play. I enjoy visiting curriculum fairs at homeschooling conferences, swapping books with moms at my park day, exploring educational websites, and reading books on learning and teaching pedagogy. With all my kids to think about, I'm like a great seamstress, stitching together a quilt of learning and love.
Remember that you don't have to be an uber-educated genius to teach your kids. Many parents armed with only a high school diploma successfully homeschool their children. You have the most important quality necessary to communicate a passion for ideas: love. Sound corny? Well, maybe, but it's also so true.
You love that child of yours more than any classroom teacher ever can; you recognize his talents, his struggles, and his passions. You are motivated to do what is best for your dear child. Your love is powerful. As you learn together cuddled on a couch or sitting next to one another at the kitchen table, you pass on your enthusiasm and commitment to your children. Pope John Paul II emphasizes this qualification of love, unique to parents, in directing the education of their children:
In addition to these characteristics, it cannot be forgotten that the most basic element, so basic that it qualifies the educational role of parents, is parental love, which finds fulfillment in the task of education as it completes and perfects its service of life: as well as being a source, the parents' love is also the animating principle and therefore the norm inspiring and guiding all concrete educational activity, enriching it with the values of kindness, constancy, goodness, service, disinterestedness and self-sacrifice that are the most precious fruit of love. Familiaris Consortio
Remember, too, that as children get older, they become increasingly independent. As they approach 5th or 6th grade, homeschooled students begin to take ownership of their studies. They are capable of longer periods of independent learning while Mom (or Dad) focuses on younger ones. By high school, parents tend to coordinate and oversee the high schooler's studies, but much of the actual teaching can be done by mentors, tutors, on-line teachers, or community college teachers.
Seeking Guidance
You don't have to go it alone. If you're considering homeschooling, do your homework and pray for guidance. Seek the advice of experienced homeschoolers and your priest or spiritual director. Your state likely has an organized homeschooling support group in addition to more local groups, so check them out. Here are just a few books to get you started if you're considering home education:
The First Year of Homeschooling Your Child (Linda Dobson). This book is a basic guide to getting started in homeschooling — the why and how of that first year.
Family Matters: Why Homeschooling Makes Sense (David Guterson). Written by a homeschooling father and teacher (and celebrated author of Snow Falling on Cedars). This book is quite powerful. It was hard to find for a few years, so snap it up while you can!
Catholic Education: Homeward Bound (Kimberly Hahn and Mary Hasson).
While I enjoy homeschooling my own children, homeschooling isn't always an option for all families. In fact, for some families, homeschooling may be the wrong choice. These families seek out the best placement for their children in traditional brick-and-mortar schools, whether at a Catholic school, public school, or non-sectarian private school.
Of course, ideally families will find the perfect (and affordable) Catholic school in their area, where Catholic values and ideals are taught and encouraged. At a good Catholic school, our children can learn about the central importance of the Eucharist, about Catholic doctrine, and the joys of Catholic culture. We have to be discerning though. Some parochial schools have watered down our faith in order to be more acceptable to a wider range of parents. So make sure you visit classrooms and ask teachers questions about the school's fidelity to the Magisterium.
Some families will need to look into their local public schools or non-Catholic private schools. The quality of such programs varies drastically, as we all know. If our only option is a program that isn't ideal, we can always supplement our children's education. These parents will benefit from many of the same resources as homeschooling families. We call this "after-schooling".
I've known many parents who have put together an extraordinary learning life for their children by combining what's available to them at their free public school with after schooling experiences that they've created themselves. This afterschooling isn't about "after school enrichment programs" where Mom drives the child from school to another building where the child participates in some other adult-led program with yet another group of kids. It involves the parents and the children discovering something together. It perhaps involves Mom and the kids gardening together and charting their progress, making their way through a lavishly illustrated children's version of the Aeneid, or Dad encouraging a young artist who is creating his own comic book series. The possibilities are endless!
Guarding Their Hearts
The Church encourages us to have an ongoing relationship with our children's teachers and the school administration:
But corresponding to their right, parents have a serious duty to commit themselves totally to a cordial and active relationship with the teachers and the school authorities. Familiaris Consortio, 40
This is wise advice! The teachers I know tell me how much they appreciate parents who go the extra step to get to know school personnel. Volunteer in your child's classroom and volunteer for committees. If appropriate, invite you child's teacher over for dinner! Such involvement also creates a connection with your child while she's at school.
A parent's active participation in her child's school life will also help the parent gain awareness of what's being taught at the school. This is so important nowadays. If a school attempts or begins to teach ideas or to expect things from our children that conflict with our Faith, we really have to speak up no matter how unpopular our views might be. I know it's hard. I don't personally like complaining or confrontation, but it's worth it in this case. We are talking about our the souls of our children! If our complaints fall on deaf ears, we can join with other like-minded families with the support of the Church in communicating our protest:
If ideologies opposed to the Christian faith are taught in the schools, the family must join with other families, if possible through family associations, and with all its strength and with wisdom help the young not to depart from the faith. In this case the family needs special assistance from pastors of souls, who must never forget that parents have the inviolable right to entrust their children to the ecclesial community. Familiaris Consortio
Guarding Our Connection
A few tips for protecting the parent-child connection when our kids attend an away-school:
Avoid overscheduling: One of the best things we can do to maintain family connection is to avoid overscheduling outside of school. Make certain family times together are sacrosanct, especially dinners and any special family nights. As the kids get into the teen years, these lines become more difficult to maintain, but when the children are young it's really better for them and for the whole family that we avoid running in 50 different directions after school. Parents are feeling increasingly pressured to turn their children into super-achievers to the point that kids have little free time outside of school hours. You can set rules about outside activities – one or two activities per child.
Play together: Play with the kids after school and on the weekends!! This can be planned play, like game nights or a trip to a reserve to stargaze, or it might be completely spontaneous, like finding bugs and watching them until it's time for dessert, making up jokes, wrestling, or acting plain goofy.
Lawrence Cohen, in his book Playful Parenting, discusses the amazing benefits for children when their parents are playful with them. By "playful" Cohen isn't just talking about the act of playing; he's also talking about having a playful, light demeanor. Your state of being is as important as your acts of doing. A playful demeanor is especially important if a child has had a hard day at school (which they often won't communicate!); playful parents tend to draw their children out of emotional isolation.
Nurture your family culture: What does your family enjoy doing together? What values do you share? Recognizing that they are part of a shared family mission grounds children and helps them to feel secure. Our Catholic faith is the foundation of any family cultural identity. Attending Mass together, setting aside Sunday as a day of rest, exploring Saints days and devotionals, and praying together every day are just some of the steps we can take to becoming a community of love.
Whether you decide to homeschool or place your child in a traditional school setting, it's useful to have some idea of the theories behind different educational methods. Underlying any approach are assumptions about the nature of the learner and the appropriate goals for that learner, so even if you like the packaging — the books, classrooms, pretty school supplies — it's important to pay attention to these assumptions as well. With the following chart, you can get a snapshot of the most commonly implemented educational approaches. All may be adapted to a Catholic learning experience: Educational Methods and Teaching Styles
Does all this information make you anxious? The good news is that no matter the choice you make, it need not be permanent. Make decisions as you go along, step by step, and rest in the arms of your loving Father who will never lead you astray. Enjoy sharing this next stage with your growing child!

Disney's on the hunt for a hot young scoundrel to play the hottest scoundrel in a galaxy far, far away.
More than 2,500 actors have had talks and auditioned, in person or remotely, for the part of a young Han Solo in a Star Wars spinoff film dedicated to the studly, fast-talking, fast-shooting space swashbuckler, The Hollywood Reporter said on Wednesday.
The character was made famous by Harrison Ford, who reprises his role from the original '70s and '80s trilogy in J.J. Abrams' new sequel, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, set for release on Dec. 18.
Walt Disney Studios / Lucasfilm
Here are seven of the contenders, according to The Hollywood Reporter:
1. Ansel Elgort, 21
Even Disney is well-aware Ansel is so hot right now, having captured the hearts of young women as Shailene Woodley's love interest in The Fault in Our Stars...and as her brother in the Divergent movies.

2. Miles Teller, 28
The actor drummed his heart out in the Oscar-nominated film Whiplash and also starred with Elgort and Woodley in the Divergent films. He recently appeared as Reed Richards in the remake of Fantastic Four.
LucasFilms; Getty Images
3. Chandler Riggs, 16
The actor is best known for his role as gun-toting, badass teen zombie killer Carl ("Cooooral!") Grimes, son of main character Rick Grimes, on AMC's The Walking Dead. The question is, if he is cast as Han, will he finally get a haircut?

4. Dave Franco, 30
The actor and brother of James Franco stars with Zac Efron in the Neighbors comedy films and can do a mean Robert De Niro impression.
LucasFilms; Getty Images
5. Rami Malek, 34
The actor is known for his leading role in the USA Network series Mr. Robot.
LucasFilms; Getty Images
6. Ed Westwick, 28
Gossip Girl's CHUCK BASS could be HAN SOLO. Now read that again and let it sink in.
LucasFilms; Getty Images
7. Tom Felton, 28
...or the role could go to Harry Potter's Draco Malfoy. Draco Malfoy.
LucasFilms; Getty Images
Disney has not commented on the movie's casting.
The Han Solo movie, which is still untitled, is set to be directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who helmed the 21 Jump Street film and its sequel, as well as The LEGO Movie.
The new film is set for release in 2018.

Bethlehem, PA (PressExposure) December 17, 2009 -- A new Sanitary High Lift Drum Dumper allows drums to be loaded at floor level, sealed against a discharge cone, elevated and tipped, mating the cone to a gasketted receiving ring on downstream process equipment.
Trademarked TIP-TITEâ¢, the dumper accommodates drums from 30 to 55 gal (114 to 208 liter) and can discharge bulk material into process vessels and equipment inlets 5 to 10 ft (1525 to 3050 mm) above the plant floor.
The drum platform is raised by a single hydraulic cylinder, creating a dust-tight seal between the rim of a drum and the underside of the discharge cone.
A second hydraulic cylinder raises the platform-hood assembly vertically before tipping it to a dump angle of 90 degrees, causing the vertically oriented cone to mate with a gasketted receiving ring. The ring can be fitted to the lid of an optional hopper with integral flexible screw conveyor or pneumatic pick-up adapter, or to existing process equipment.
A pneumatically actuated slide gate valve prevents material flow until the discharge cone has been properly seated in the gasketted receiving ring.
The all-stainless unit can be finished to sanitary or industrial standards. Other models are offered in mild steel with durable industrial coatings, or with material contact surfaces of stainless steel.
The company also manufactures conventional-height drum dumpers, drum fillers, box-container dumpers, bulk bag dischargers, bulk bag conditioners, bulk bag fillers, flexible screw conveyors, pneumatic conveying systems, bag dump stations, weigh batching and blending systems, and engineered plant-wide bulk handling systems with automated controls.

March 10 protest
March 10 protest Another protest on the theme of putting an end to the maltreatment and death of military conscripts was held on March 10 in Baku, Azerbaijan.The event was organized on Facebook in reaction to many recent deaths of army conscripts that continued even after a protest on the same theme was held in January. A number of activists were preemptively arrested – cheap viagra in uk see here for more on NIDA members – before the protest even started. For example, as many as 20 youth activists were detained during an OSCE training on March 9 and then released in the evening, only after the OSCE contacted a representative of Azerbaijan's Ministry of Interior, according to Turan News Agency. Public transit to the protest was restricted. Activists from Sumgayit tweeted that they could not get to the protest due to public transit restrictions, and roads going to and from Fountain Square we reportedly blocked. Numerous buses were on hand and during the actual protest many protesters, including well-known journalist Khadija Ismayil, were corralled onto these buses and driven to remote locations such as Gobustan, where they were released. During the protest, police surrounded Fountain Square. Water cannons, rubber bullets, and pepper spray were reportedly used. Protesters sat on the ground and interlocked their arms in an attempt to hold their ground in the of face rubber bullets and pressurized water, but they were eventually either arrested or forced to flee. Ali Kerimbeyli, the father of a deceased soldier, was detained by police, who dragged him [photo] on the ground. A woman, the mother of a deceased soldier, was also dragged away [photo; video] by police during the protest. It's reported that some of the rapid reaction police troops may not be from Azerbaijan. Some were heard speaking a language that activists speculate is Kurdish at the protest. It is estimated that between 500 (RFE/RL) and 3,000 (Contact.az) people attended the March 10 protest. Azerbaijan police placed Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs) in several areas and were prepared to use them. According to Contact.az, journalists saw at least four of LRADs on Fountain Square and areas nearby, including in front of ruling party New Azerbaijan Party's headquarters. Several protesters sustained injuries. Protester Renat Najafov, who was detained overnight from March 10-11 and fined 600 AZN, will be undergoing surgery on March 13 in connection with facial injuries he sustained. (March 14 update: Najafov had surgery [Azadliq Newspaper report, in Azerbaijani] to repair his zygoma (cheekbone) and is now recovering. Physicians said if the surgery unsuccessful, additional measures will be taken in three weeks). Zaur Akbar was also subjected to rough treatment [see this video, starting around the 30th second]. It's also been reported that Ruslan Asad injured his arm and Khadija Ismayil has bruising on her face from participation in the protest. Emin Abbasov reported through Twitter that some of the people being released from police stations on March 11 had problems walking due to maltreatment at the hands of law enforcement officers. In total, at least 72 people were detained, although some people have reported that figure might be as high as 100. On March 10 approximately two dozen protesters who were held overnight until March 11 and taken to court. Many of them were fined between 300 and 600 AZN. Five of them were sentenced to administrative detention for 6-7 days. In addition, NIDA activist Ilkin Rustemzade, who was detained by police prior to the March 10 protest, was sentenced to 6 days of administrative detention by the Khatai Court on March 11.

There are very few hard deadlines
with writing novels.
Stories go into the submissions queue
when they're received.
There are months, even years, gaps
between when a story is submitted
and when a writer is paid.
So one day delay doesn't matter, right?
No one will raise a stink over it.
One day won't make a big difference.
Except a day here or there
adds up
and days have a habit
of turning into weeks.
Many entrepreneurs,
especially during the start up stage,
are in the same situation.
It is very easy
to push that sales call off
until tomorrow.
What I do to stop this
is create artificial deadlines.
I'll tell my editor to expect
my manuscript on a certain date.
I'll ask friends/family
to keep me accountable.
One of my loved ones gives me
his 'I'm very disappointed in you' speech.
Delaying a day DOES matter.
Get it done NOW.

WHITE HALL, TEXAS (Coryell County). White Hall is an unincorporated rural community located in northeastern Coryell County nine miles north of Gatesville on Farm Road 215. It was named for the White and Hall families who lived in the area. A school was established at White Hall in 1890, and by the 1920s the Coryell Valley and Cave Creek schools had been consolidated with it; White Hall was in turn consolidated with the Gatesville district in 1948. The population fell from forty in the 1940s to thirty in the 1950s. A church at White Hall was still active in the 1980s, but no further population estimates were available. The community was no longer shown on county maps in 2000.

In a statement by Information Officer Ibrahim Farinloye of NEMA South West in Lagos, the agency said that the spillage is a result of the indiscriminate activities of vandals who left the product to spill into the surrounded areas. It also strongly advised residents of the affected areas not to drink or use the river water, as the ruptured pipeline is located under the Ogun River.
NEMA said that the warnings became necessary as a result of distress calls from the residents of Oluwole Bisiriyu Street, Ilori Coker crescent, Kayode Williams Estate and Akute-Odo area in Iju-Ishaga, Lagos over the pollution of the air as a result of pipeline vandalism over night by vandals. The residents complained of serious stomach upset, nausea and coughing, and the agency advised them to seek medical tests, advice and treatment so as to avoid future health complications.
"NEMA on getting the alert mobilized the safety personnel of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) on the development and are almost concluding fixing the ruptured pipeline," the agency said. "The Federal Government pleas that communities and residents of any disaster risks areas should join hands in disaster risk reduction management as the immediate and long time effects of disasters are mostly inflicting negative impacts on the poor and less privileged," NEMA said.

Launching the international open data week, promoted by the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism
- The week starts today with the 6th edition of Encuentro Aporta, surfacing the importance of coordination and harmonization of data release.
- About 250 speakers from more than 40 countries will address issues related with open data and transport, education, environment, agriculture and smart cities, among other issues, at the 4th International Open Data Conference (IODC16) on October 6 and 7.
- On October 5, the Spanish Ministry of Industry will also co-organize actions for data release in the fields of culture, natural language and smart cities. These will be accompanied by other thirty events prior to the celebration of IODC16.
- Data reuse has a direct impact on the citizens' welfare: it has allowed saving 7,000 lives every year, improving health response and reducing energy consumption by 16%, as well as reducing the accident rate in European roads by 5.5%.
Monday, October 3, 2016. Organized by the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism through the Secretary of State for Telecommunications and Information Society and the public business entity Red.es, the week that will set Madrid as the international capital of open data commences today with the celebration of more than thirty sectoral events, and will close with the celebration of the 4th International Open Data Conference, IODC16, on October 6 and 7. IODC16 is currently the most important annual event on open data in the world, and it takes place in Europe for the first time.
Encuentro Aporta opens the international open data week in its 6th edition, addressing the importance of the coordination and harmonization in the publication of data. This is a key aspect for Spain to maintain its international position within the international open data movement.
The Secretary of State for Telecommunications and Information Society, Mr. Víctor Calvo-Sotelo, opened this morning the celebration of Encuentro Aporta. During his intervention, Mr. Calvo-Sotelo has stated that, thanks to the joint efforts of the Administration, Spain holds an important position in the international benchmarking. Public sector data make a quality asset that generates new opportunities for value creation in a digital society as is the case with the smart cities or the promotion of human language technologies.
4th International Open Data Conference, October 6 and 7
After the third edition, held in Ottawa (Canada), the 4th International Open Data Conference (IODC16) is being organized by the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism, along with the World Bank, the International Development Research Centre of Canada (IDRC), and the Open Data for Development Network (OD4D).
Under the official motto 'Global Goals, Local Impact,' more than 1,000 participants will attend the 80 sessions involving about 250 speakers coming from more than 40 different countries. The IODC16 speakers will show their work and reflections on the importance of open data as a high-value asset in 24 sectors including health, environment, journalism, agriculture, education, transport or smart cities, among other cross-cutting topics such as standardization, capacity building and learning, problem solving, and open data measuring and assessment mechanisms.
Data reuse has become an increasingly closer resource for citizens, who use them in applications to help them in everyday life. For that reason, use cases will be presented during the conference to prove how data use can make life easier and democratize the access to information: its use in the mapping of areas prone to flooding; how public money is being spent or the actual destination of donations during a natural disaster; visualization of market prices for medicines, the supply of local information such as available parking spots, air quality or noise levels; nutrition or the impact of tropical deforestation on climate change, among others.
More events prior to IODC16
From the thirty events held before IODC16, the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism is also co-organizing on October 5 three sectoral meetings concerning open data in culture, natural language and smart cities.
The Workshop on open data and natural language processing systems will focus on the potential benefits from the confluence of open data and language technologies, and will address the social, economic, legal and technical challenges to be faced. Medialab-Prado will host the Open Cities Summit, whose objective is to comprehend how cities and their citizens are implementing open-data-driven measures. Finally, closing the pre-event agenda, the Spanish National Library will host an Open Data & Culture pre-event, which will discuss the obstacles faced by cultural institutions to launch the European directive of PSI Re-use, which extends the scope of action for libraries (including college libraries), museums and archives.
The value of open data
Open data are a valuable raw material to provide solutions in key sectors such as agriculture, nutrition, education or health services; but they also make a real impact on job creation, the provision of citizen-adapted services and the development of innovative solutions. The European Commission report Creating Value Through Open Data demonstrates that data re-use allows saving 7,000 lives every year by improving sanitary response, reducing energy consumption by 16%, or reducing the accident rate in European roads by 5.5%.

This study examines exposure to perceived discrimination and its association with depression among low-income, Latina male-to-female transgender women as well as evaluates the impact of sexual partner violence and mistreatment on depression.
A total of 220 Latina male-to-female transgender women who resided in Los Angeles, California, were recruited through community based organizations and referrals. Participants completed individual interviews using a structured questionnaire. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Perceived discrimination was assessed using a fifteen-item measure that was designed to assess the experiences of maltreatment of transgender individuals. Multinomial logistic regression was used to examine the association between perceived discrimination and depression after controlling for the presence of other variables.
Of the sample, 35% reported significant depressive symptoms (PHQ-9≥15). Additionally, one-third of the participants indicated that in the two weeks prior to the interviews they had thought either of hurting themselves or that they would be better off dead. The extent of perceived discrimination in this population was extensive. Many of the participants experienced discrimination on a daily basis (14%) or at least once or twice a week (25%) as demonstrated by a positive response to at least 7 of 15 items in the measure of perceived discrimination. Almost six out of ten participants admitted that they had been victims of sexual partner violence. Those who reported more frequent discrimination were more likely to be identified with severe depression. There was also a notable association between self-reported history of sexual partner violence and depression severity.
A significant association between depression severity and perceived discrimination was identified. How exposure to discrimination leads to increased risk of mental health problems needs additional investigation. Models investigating the association between perceived discrimination and depression among transgender women should include sexual partner violence as a potential confounding variable.

I SEE YOU MAN! I saw you a block away when I decided to cross the street. I made a judgement using depth perception, rate of travel, and my ability to move that we would not hit each other. Oh look, and guess what we didn't. Thanks for yelling at me that you have the right of way, I had no idea. Did you think you might have to hit your brakes and then realize your handlebars allow you to steer clear of things like pedestrians? So sorry. Your not the only one trying to commute to work as quickly as possible, stop being such a pussy.

text: For decades musicians have extolled marijuana's benefits. From Louis Armstrong to Snoop Dogg musicians claim it enhances their creativity. I have a few musician friends that smoke dope every time they do a gig and they say their music is the better for it. It seems logical that if pot is good for making music it should be beneficial for dancing. To find out I got a sample of legal medical marijuana. It's easy to obtain in the state of Arizona. So, nothing I describe in the following is illegal. I took a small dosage of edibles but easily enough to feel high (est 7 mg). I then went to the studio to take a group lesson and then dancing afterwards. The pot hindered my learning of the lesson and I forgot things much quicker. As for the dancing – none of the ladies I danced with said I was dancing better than usual but none of them complained either. While I definitely related to the music differently, and probably responded differently in my dance, it was not at all obvious that pot made be a better or worse dancer. I tried two more times with equally mediocre results. It seemed to me that higher doses produced worse dancing. My performance in ballroom seemed to be worse than swing. Once I went freestyling in a bar and it did seem that the ladies responded very good – but of course that is probably just because I was less inhibited. In conclusion I felt that marijuana had more negatives than positives when it comes to dancing. I'm curious what others have experienced while mixing marijuana with dancing.

If you have been to Nigeria you know that there aren't many skate parks in a country where football is the national sport and government spending in culture and sport is little to none. So what do skateboarders do in a country that doesn't share their love for their sport?
WAFFLESNCREAM a community of likeminded creatives bringing a genuine approach to celebrate subcultures, have taken the initiative to create a platform for skateboarders in Nigeria as well as the entire African continent all 1.11 billion. I wonder how many African skateboarders there are?
"The reality of skating in Africa's most populated city which currently has no skate parks or skate shops not to mention the major lack of pavements and the ever increasing presence of armed officers, is unlike no other scene in skateboarding today," says Bai Joiner from WAFFLESNCREAM.
The WAFFLESNCREAM skate team announce their new short film 'JIDE' shot by a 14-year old skater. Watch the video that captures the excitement of the African skate scene and the hometown pride of Lagos, Nigeria's skaters. JIDE includes shots of Olaoluwa 'slawn', Yinka, Samuel 'Ziggy', John 'Enigma' as well as Lusaka bred skaters Saidi Lungu and Evaristo Mutale who are both competing at the KDS African Skateboarding Championship in October.

Two fascinating articles in this current issue. Unfortunately I can't direct link to their articles any more without paying ransom.
1. Emergence of KC Royals as the #1 farm system in all baseball, and predictions of an uncoming dynasty. Look out, Twins and Tigers. These guys are for real.
2. Cool profile of surging young golf pro Bubba Watson. This guy's a hoot that can shoot.
Worth a couple bucks to pick up this issue.

Syria, Bahrain and Middle East unrest - Monday 9 January
An American activist who was refused entry to Bahrain on Sunday said he feared the 20 medics being re-tried for allegedly trying to overthrow the regime would be "scape-goated" by the authorities. Richard Sollom, who had flown in to the country with the intention of observing the medics' retrial today, told the Guardian he hoped international pressure would eventually force the King to quash the charges.

Medline ® Abstract for Reference 68
of 'Screening for depression in adults'
The Patient Health Questionnaire Somatic, Anxiety, and Depressive Symptom Scales: a systematic review.
Kroenke K, Spitzer RL, Williams JB, Löwe B
Gen Hosp Psychiatry. 2010;32(4):345. Epub 2010 May 7.
BACKGROUND: Depression, anxiety and somatization are the most common mental disorders in primary care as well as medical specialty populations; each is present in at least 5-10% of patients and frequently comorbid with one another. An efficient means for measuring and monitoring all three conditions would be desirable.
METHODS: Evidence regarding the psychometric and pragmatic characteristics of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-9 depression, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)-7 anxiety and PHQ-15 somatic symptom scales are synthesized from two sources: (1) four multisite cross-sectional studies (three conducted in primary care and one in obstetric-gynecology practices) comprising 9740 patients, and (2) key studies from the literature that have studied these scales.
RESULTS: The PHQ-9 and its abbreviated eight-item (PHQ-8) and two-item (PHQ-2) versions have good sensitivity and specificity for detecting depressive disorders. Likewise, the GAD-7 and its abbreviated two-item (GAD-2) version have good operating characteristics for detecting generalized anxiety,panic, social anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. The optimal cutpoint is>or = 10 on the parent scales (PHQ-9 and GAD-7) and>or = 3 on the ultra-brief versions (PHQ-2 and GAD-2). The PHQ-15 is equal or superior to other brief measures for assessing somatic symptoms and screening for somatoform disorders. Cutpoints of 5, 10 and 15 represent mild, moderate and severe symptom levels on all three scales. Sensitivity to change is well-established for the PHQ-9 and emerging albeit not yet definitive for the GAD-7 and PHQ-15.
CONCLUSIONS: The PHQ-9, GAD-7 and PHQ-15 are brief well-validated measures for detecting and monitoring depression, anxiety and somatization.

Knowing how to use your logo well and actually using your new logo design should be easy right? I have noticed a trend that can happen with new business owners when they are uncertain about how to implement their new design. Visual brand consistency with your logo and graphics brings visual continuity. It is not a difficult thing to achieve when you keep a few key guidelines in place when integrating your "look" into your social media profiles, website, printed business cards, postcards, sell sheets etc. but like every good business practice you need a design strategy.
Duplication is your friend.
Use the same logo over and over. Yes, you will get tired of looking at it after awhile. You will have a twinge to tweak and revise but often this is not the best use of your time and is the wrong move for your business. Duplication is good for brand recognition. I advise clients often to not make changes when they are getting tired of their logo. This is usually the point when their customers are loving it, their business is growing and it is working for them. Remember people don't like change and it takes time and repetition to become recognizable to your clients.
Duplication breeds familiarity and helps keeps your business top of mind. Your community, fans and customers are trusting you that your are solid and reputable. Yes, a logo can say "quality", "trust", and "reputable" to your customers for you! Again, why I say logos are the foundation of your digital media marketing strategy.
Don't be tempted to change your logo.
Yes, there are circumstances that make it necessary for updates and changes to a logo design but that is another post. Here are a few reminders about what a logo does for your business and your brand image.
- a logo is a work horse that does things like build trust
- brings stability across all your marketing efforts and digital presence online
- helps you stand out as different or unique
- becomes a recognizable identifier or icon for your business
- builds street credibility among peers, customers, vendors and so on
- gives you a professional appearance
Use colors for consistency and brand continuity. This also makes it easier for you to have a little fun and freedom with creating patterns and selecting backgrounds for your social media profiles. Don't get too crazy with color I recommend keeping two to three main colors as your brand identifying colors. Try to keep them as color accurate as you can and also keep your logo colors the same as well to support continuity and stability.
If you must change your logo be very cautious.
Changing your logo constantly can cause problems (unless your Google or facebook) because it is possible you will confuse customers and prospects that what they are seeing is in fact you! A business needs a point of stability and the logo design or you will risk the possibility of disrupting continuity bringing in lack of confidence in the buyer and risk distrust. This is never so more true than with small or micro businesses because we are the folks who need to bring attention to our business with smaller brand and marketing budgets. Making an impact is your community is easier when you make changes to other visual elements and try to keep the logo as consistent and regular as possible.
A recap of my thoughts.
Cautiously weight the decision to change your logo design. Revise your color use, your imagery, illustrations, photography and other elements to bring subtle changes to your brand to freshen up your brand and bring eyeballs (attention) to your business.

Question about Creative Labs Video Blaster WebCam
I have a Creative Labs Video Blaster WebCam Notebook which I had used with my Toshiba Laptop that had a Windows XO operating system. I had to change my Laptop which has the Windows Vista Home Premium Operating system. Will this web cam work with Vista and if so can I dowload a driver for it online. Please reply to email@example.com
Posted by keshavj on
That particular webcam has been retired from Creative Labs for some time now. I checked the manufacturer site as well as driver guide in hopes of someone creating a Windows Vista driver. Unfortunately there was nothing available.
The biggest problem with Creative Labs is they have Horrible Horrible driver support. I remember the nightmare of getting the drivers for my Audigy Sound Card replaced.
If you want to try to get it working follow these steps, in this order:
1) Plug in the cam and see if Vista will autodetect it and set it up.
2) Try using the Windows 98 drivers (probably won't work but you can try, stranger things have happened)
3) If one of those 2 steps allowed the cam to work, just find yourself some webcam software. (2 Free ones off the top of my head are Fwink and Yawcam)
If neither of those options work, you'll have to go and replace your webcam. I would recommend staying away from Creative Labs. I've got a great Logitech Cam (Mine does HD Quality) that I purchased for about $80. It's called the Logitech Quickcam 9000. It does a beautiful job and it comes with everything you need to get started. There are cheaper models available that will work equally as well with Vista. Check your local computer store.

What's on Your Nightstand
Cry, the Beloved Country
This one has been on my list since I returned from Peace Corps in '91!!! It is mesmerizing and I cannot believe I waited twenty years to pick it up. It's pulls me into the rich world of racial tension, misguided laws, and out-and-out cruelty, then shocks me with care, love and truth. This is simply a not to be missed book. Read a little about the history of Apartheid before you start if you are not familiar with South Africa. You won't be sorry--and you will remember this book forever.
A Year in Provence This one has also been on the list since at least the early days of the Clinton administration! I wouldn't let myself watch the tv series till I read the book. Guess what I got from the library? The cds of the tv series! I'm enjoying the show as much as the book. Like Under the Tuscan Sun this book lets you really LIVE the expat experience--the kind of expat life I like, the one lived as far away from other expats as possible! A very fun read!
I like to pick up Young Adult books occasionally. On the library sale pile I found this one:
Meet the Austins
I came away from this book very disappointed. Madeline L'Engle is a much better writer than this book suggests. I found it trite and unsatisfying, though there were nice "bits." Compared to the Melendy Quartet this book isn't even a good first draft. I felt sorry for the little girl who joined L'Engle's real-life family in tragic circumstances. There is a bitterness just below the surface in this book. I read, after finishing the book, that an additional chapter had been cut, then replace in newer editions of the book. I've ordered another Austin's book from the library to see if the series gets better--but did so only because I loved the Wrinkle in Time books and the Crosswicks Journal [which her family claimed were almost fiction!!].
Finally, my love of all things Roosevelt led me to grab this massive tome!
FDR: Champion of Freedom
I've read nearly everything ever pubished on TR, FDR and Eleanor, so I won't pretend to you that I'm going to read every single word of this 1000 page + opus. So far I've found things that have made me mad and, although FDR isn't even Governor of NY yet, I'm totally sick of the author's bias and snark. Still, I have actually found some a few tidbits I didn't know before so it's been worthwhile.

Well you have convinced me I am adding Cry, The Beloved Country to me to-read books. I too loved A Wrinkle In Time but have read very little else by L'Engle.
- morninglight mama said...
Oh C,TBC is such an amazing book, but it's been years and years since I've read it. I bet it would make for an interesting re-read all these years later!
- Lisa notes... said...
I like your reviews. It's nice to know what to read and what NOT to read. I'm a L'Engle fan of the Wrinkle in Time books, but now I'll now not to venture too far from there.
- Susan said...
Okay, now what was the FDR author's bias? I would love to read a snarky review you'd write on it :)
I'll have to read "Cry" again - have no memories of it from high school. That seems like an odd l'Engle title, although I'm embarrassed to say I've not read any of her books.
A friend recommended the Mayle France books - one day I'll have to read them. Ahhh, take me away!
- Nise' said...
Loved Cry, The Beloved Country. Probably time for a re-read.
- Jennifer, Snapshot said...
I missed this post because I was away at BEA, but I loved Meet the Austins. Sorry you didn't. Each book is very different, so you might indeed like some of the others.
Ring of Endless Light was a Newbery honor book, and is also a bit dark.
You can read out of order. They really aren't like a "series."
- Hopewell said...
Jennifer: Thanks for the tip on the Austins--I may put them back on my list sometime!

Recent problems with a friends ignition system caused concern and consternation. The points in a typical distributor switch the negative side of the ignition coils primary winding in synchronization with engine RPM. This current has to be carried through the distributor body without shorting. As these components age, the phenolic insulation material, around the current carrying stud, breaks down and shorts out to the distributor body. If this stud is bent and the insulation cracked, it has to be repaired or replaced.
A one inch long, number 8 machine screw with a hexagonal head is the best choice, however a slot head can also be used. Get some heat shrink tubing of appropriate size and cut it to about 1/2 inch in length. Slip it over the machine screw, butt it up to the underside of the head and shrink it in place with the heat from a match or lighter. Use vinyl washers on the outside of the distributor body and also on the inside flush up to the vertical post where the point and the condenser are connected. Metal washers should be used external to the vinyl washers to provide a good contact area for inside mounted point/condenser and the outside mounted primary coil negative wire. Use a continuity checker to assure there are no shorts between the body of the distributor and the end of the machine screw stud when the points are open. If the balance of the ignition components are in good shape, you should see a small electric arc accross the point gap when the engine is cranked over.
The second problem occured when the engine suddenly stopped working and once again we had no spark. Typically a coil will fail slowly as indicated by a redish spark instead of the desired white spark. To see the spark, remove the ignition wire from the center of the distributor cap and place the end about 1/8 of an inch from the engine block. Then crank the engine and ascertain the brightness and color of the electric arc. When we get a sudden engine failure, the condenser is suspect and has to be replaced. I have witnessed condensers working perfectly in the fall and failing during the spring fitting out. I believe freezing winter weather reeks havoc with the dielectric insulation on the inside of a condenser. For the record, a condensor (automotive term) is really a capacitor (electronic term) which limits the current at your points to reduce erosion and also provides the the ringing voltage for the coils primary winding. Instead of filing your points, use contact cleaner and then burnish away the oxidation by rubbing some cardboard between them. I hope these few hints prove helpful.
Happy Antique Boating!!!!!
