Confused about what type of high school you went to? This should clear things up.
Get out a piece of paper and answer T/F to the following:
1. Dooney and Bourke handbags are way low-class. You prefer Prada, Vuitton, or Coach handbags.
2. Abercrombie and Fitch is where you do your weekly, regular clothing shopping. You do go to Old Navy to do some shopping, though, just because Old Navy is a fun place.
3. You get pissed off because you don't have your own private jet.
4. Your family buys a house in Breckenridge instead of Aspen, and you throw a fit.
5. You don't wear pearls to class because pearls are for "wanna-bes" Instead, you wear your 1 carat diamond studs or 1 carat bezeled diamond dangle earrings (set in yellow gold, white gold, or platinum).
6. When it comes to diamonds, Tiffany's is the standard. (Harry Winston is ok, too).
7. To accessorize your uniform, you go to Neiman Marcus and buy cute scarves, earmuffs, or Sarah Jessica Parker's latest "find", UGG boots (which you have to be on a 6 month waiting list for).
8. When a friend asks you what you want for your birthday, money really is no object, and when you tell her you want Tiffany's earrings, your friend asks you if you want gold or platinum.
9. You really don't fit in unless you have at least 1 other house, besides your primary dwelling.
10. You most likely have "toys" that include yachts, sailboats, airplanes, and/or quarter/thouroughbred horses. Plasma tvs, H2s, Kompressors, and personal assistant robots are also acceptable toys.
11. Those horses are close to $1 million each and are lodged at the Polo Club, where the horses' accomodations are better than most peoples'.
12. You spend lots of time at friends 2nd and 3rd houses. These houses are usually either ranches, ski lodges, and/or beach houses.
13. You have gone with friends to New York City or L.A. on a whim for a weekend on one of your private jets.
14. The teachers at school wish they could have your car, because your car costs more than their salary... 2 years' of their salary.
15. If you don't know how to ride a horse, sail, surf, and ski, you are considered a "heathen".
16. You have friends that have 10 houses or more, with at least 5 of them being in: Aspen, Rio, Paris, London, and Rome. One house might be located on a private island.
17. Your school auction raises more than $1.2 million per year.
18. You have connections to really anybody that has any type of (especially corporate) power in the world.
19. You know more than half of the residents of the most exclusive community in the city (in this case, River Oaks).
20. More than 3/4 of your class went to a very ritzy university (including, but not limited to: Pepperdine, USC, SMU, Yale, Harvard, or Stanford). The other 99% of the last 1/4 went to UT or A&M because one or both parents are on the Board.
21. Your parents are on more Boards than you have fingers and toes.
22. You get a new car every year.
23. Neiman Marcus is on your speed dial, and you are on Tiffany's speed dial.
24. You really wanted to get a friend a car for his/her birthday, but they already had 5.
25. You didn't have to call any friends while in D.C. for George W's inauguration in 2000 to update them on the parties, balls and such, because they were there too.
26. You and your friends are all members at the same exclusive country club.
27. You, and all of your friends Debut.
28. Your school takes off close to a month for the Rodeo, because everyone goes every night, because they all own ranches and listen to country music on a regular basis.
29. Your school's students and your 2 rival rich school students have more money combined than square feet in Alaska.
30. You have a friend that is dating a rock star/price of foreign country/CEO of a financial institution.
31. You know someone who owns a vineyard.
32. One or both of your parents are neurosurgeons.
33. When your have your coffee clatch on thursday morning, and your and your friends' dads come with you, everyone else thinks an important event is taking place.
34. You or one of your friends owns a financial institution (eg a financial services company, a bank, etc.)
35. And finally, you have more than one friend that is a price/princess/duke/duchess/etc of another country.
Ok... so tally up how many questions you answered as "true".
If you answered...
Fewer than 10 as true: Don't worry, you went to a normal highschool.
10-20 as true: You probably went to a school like Taylor in Katy, where the kids are better off than most.
21 to 30: You sound like a Lamar kid to me. Your public high school is probably in an exclusive community, and, in fact, you have more money than most kids that go to Catholic school.
31 and over: Damn. Sounds like you went to either St. John's, Kinkaid or Episcopal. You have my sympathy.

Fundraising For Harvey Warming Hut
Looks like the Fernie, BC community is rallying to rebuild the Harvey Warming Hut that apparently recently burnt down. Check out the Harvey Warming Hut Indiegogo page and show it some love, because last we checked they'd raised a whopping $30. That's buy a pretty small hut. Zoolander would raise an eyebrow for sure.
Here's the synopsis from the campaign page…
Harvey Hut got burnt down.
The Harvey Hut burnt down in January 2016. This popular and very remote area has had an emergency shelter at it for over 30 years.
- The old shelters were never authorized to be on crown land.
- The new shelter is proposed to be authorized to be placed on private land in the same region.
We need a new shelter!
- This remote region that is popular with backcountry skiers and snowmobile skiers and snowboards must have an emergency shelter.
- Some options that are being evaluated could be installed in certain locations very quickly… especially if we can secure some funding to kickstart this!
- Trailers, pods, yurts, sea cans etc are some types of structures being looked at for immediate placement.
- This is a long term project. More ideal crown land locations could ultimately be applied for in the future.
Risks & Challenges
This is a "by the people for the people" project. It cannot be done without working together!
- We have initial indication from a private landowner that they are open to a proposal for a shelter placement. This is not a for sure.
- It may not be feasible to install the shelter this season.
- We hope to be able to secure a temporary solution initially.
- A more permanent/ better solution could be realized over a longer period (summer months)
Other Ways You Can Help
Some people just can't contribute cash, but that doesn't mean you can't help:
- If you can't contribute financially but still want to help out send an email to email@example.com or contact here on indiegogo.
- Ask folks to get the word out and make some noise about your campaign.
- Share this campaign!
And that's all there is to it.

Have just gone through exactly the same thing with my 17 year old lad.
He passed on Monday and has a '08 1.6 Astra.
Best deal we got was £997 with Co-Op Young Driver insurance.
That's fully comp, with him as the policyholder and main driver. Wife and I are named drivers.
It is with a black box though much to his disgust.
Cheapest quote without the box was £1500.
Blackbox was a killer for one of my kids. While he never was speeding or getting into trouble the data collected by the box for the short time he had it is haunting him years later. Even with a different insurance company they rate him higher because he never got rewards with the box but he was never penalized either. What little money we saved to have it added to his car in the first place has been eaten up and then some by the loss of it. We pulled it out after really looking into it ands its long term effects. Basically if your a new driver and can control yourself to the point where you absolutely know it will reward you its ok but if you screw up even a few times by driving in ways it doesnt like it will hurt you badly even years later. Truth be told i think im the one that caused him to get no rewards because i would drive it around every so often to check on its condition and it never occured to me that the box was watching. Out of guilt i do pay a bit of his current premium. I also know a mechanic took the car out for a transmission calibration and per bmw exceeded the recommended speedlimit by a lot and i think that is effecting him as well. Literally no other way to calibrate a cvt transmission other than excessive speeding. Cant explain that to the box though.

OSCAR Pistorius's comments after losing the final of the 200m were a reminder that the elite athletes competing in the Paralympics don't just have keep themselves in peak physical condition, but also watch that their rivals don't run away with any technological edge. It is the skill and speed of athletes like Pistorius, and now Alan Oliviera, that captivates the crowds, but it's a thrill that rests too on ingenuity and excellence in engineering: the latest materials in the smartest combinations.

The untamed imagination remains at the heart of true business success
MAURICE Sendak, the groundbreaking author of Where The Wild Things Are died this week, leaving the world a tamer place. Sendak wrote books for children, but his influence has been far wider and deeper, reaching from Spike Jonze's recent blockbuster film to many adult authors. His art was distinguished by both courage and originality. He refused, above all, to sugarcoat the experience of childhood. The result was a body of work with a wild strangeness at its heart –a useful reminder to all of us that the world is less tame than the images we tend to make of it. Continue reading

We've all seen Marilyn Monroe in a white dress standing over a subway ventilation. The iconic image is Sam Shaw's most famous, but certainly not his most moving. His work is now on show in Germany.A young blond woman in a white dress standing over a ventilation grate in the New York subway, the air pushing up the dress – and the photographer snaps the picture. That's the story behind Sam Shaw's most famous picture, but it's certainly not his most moving image.
It was the famous ventilation grate picture in the 1950s that made photographer Sam Shaw better known to a larger audience – and made Marilyn Monroe even more famous. The picture has been reprinted millions of times, making it one of the best known in the world.
Shaw staged the photograph himself as a PR gimmick to promote the film "The Seven-Year Itch," directed by Billy Wilder, in which Monroe starred.
"Interestingly, you don't see this image set precisely in this way in the film," said Christiane Vogt, director of the Ludwig Gallery at Schloss Oberhausen, which just opened a retrospective of photographer Sam Shaw's work, "Finding the Unexpected."
"There is a scene [in the film] showing her legs, and one showing her torso, but not one showing Marilyn Monroe's entire body," she noted.
Marilyn Monroe was Shaw's driver
Shaw had been friends with Monroe for quite a while before the picture was even taken. In fact, before Marilyn had her own breakthrough as an actress, she was actually photographer Shaw's driver, since he did not have a driver's license, curator Nina Dunkmann pointed out.
Yet the retrospective is not reduced to showing photographs only of movie star Marilyn Monroe. The 230 black-and-white images from six decades show a host of other people – from starlets to everyday actors.
"Our concept focused on one space being dedicated to Marilyn Monroe; that was clear from the start," said Vogt. "But the show actually opens with Sophia Loren. We wanted to show photos that weren't necessarily so famous, and Loren was the perfect motif," she said.
Dunkmann stressed the stamina with which Shaw worked – taking a great deal of time for his pictures. "He did so with Sophia Loren – depicting her as a goddess and an erotic symbol," she said. "He draws the viewer's gaze across her body and up to her face."
"Shaw almost always manages to tell stories with just one picture," she pointed out.
Access to film stars, a passion for the less famous
The show in Oberhausen portrays many pictures of film stars, from Marlon Brando in a tight t-shirt and a profile of John Wayne, to Dennis Hopper and Paul Newman and John Cassevetes with their families. Shaw had access to actors – up-close and unadorned.
He was, for instance, close friends with Anthony Quinn, whom he took numerous photos of during the filming of "Alexis Sorbas" on Crete. One picture shows Quinn playing chess during a recording break. Yet Shaw also used the time as a still photographer on the film set to create a photo essay for "Life" magazine about island life in the 1950s. It showcased farmers' faces creased from working out in the sun.
"These photo stories for "Life" and "Time," which were often published in color, secured a good income for Shaw, in addition to his work as a still photographer on film sets in Hollywood," said Vogt.
These photo essays on social issues were close to the photographer's heart. He began creating them in the 1940s and the pictures are so expressive, that the viewer immediately recognizes which mood Shaw wanted to capture. They are glimpses of real life, showing the hardships of poor people in society and the travails of people working in dangerous jobs in a lively way.
Shaw depicts an American soldier saying goodbye to his family on a farm, young women at work in an armor factory in the US, worn-out African-American women in dilapidated living conditions, and workers around oil rigs. He also captured photos of sporting events, accidents and everyday violence.
Racism and the marginalized
Shaw likewise created photo essays about racism in the US South and of demonstrations against the Vietnam War. "He always placed people at the center, but also expressed criticism, such as in the pictures he took of the election campaign of a racist politician in the South," said Dunkmann.
One picture shows a corpulent policeman protecting a politician at an appearance before a crowd of people.
Shaw dedicated whole series to African-American culture and was interested in the marginalized people of society. He brought home such pictures from his travels through Europe – series of Roma women in Spain and images from poor neighborhoods in Rome and Paris. Paris was, after all, a city Shaw loved – one he once dubbed the most picturesque in the world.
Shaw's own glimpse of the world can be viewed at Schloss Oberhausen through September 17, 2017.

Sometime around 200 years ago one of my ancestors founded his tannery in a little village in the southwest part of Hungary. Those were perfectly different times for leather crafts. I am not talking only about the competitions — which was not insignificant, as even a small village had around 10 bootmakers and several cobblers and those who just practiced shoe repair during the long winter months when they couldn't do any agricultural work on the fields. In this era, there was one significant difference, compared where we live today: customers. Customers were well educated about leather. Although the truth is that the number of tanning processes was not even close to what we have today.
Let me mention an easy example. As a matter of fact, you can try it. Walk into a shoe store and choose a nice suede looking chukka (not an athletic shoe please… we will get back there later). Ask the sellers if it is nubuck or suede. I bet they can't tell you. As a brand owner and designer, this is something cannot afford to ignore.
First of all, a little bit of history. Our ancestors started to use shoes, or more like foot-bags, a few ten thousand years ago. That was not a fancy leather. It had one function: protect the foot. Guess what. That is still the number one function of footwear! Anyway, leather was difficult to possess. Those animals pretty viciously wanted to keep their hides. So, after they managed to hunt down a deer, bison or something wilder, the leather was probably a precious good and something worth preserving. Without tanning, the leather will start to smell and rot quickly. It's not worth putting any effort into a product if it isn't even going to last a week. Luckily animals came with a little deposit of tanning material — the brain. No one knows how and when they come up with the idea to use the animal's own brain to preserve the hide. The oils in the brain tissue in the case of a smaller animal is just enough to create a nice soft hide that is perfect for leatherwork. Surprisingly brain tanning survived those ancient times and we also use the modern version of it: oil tanning. Both produce a soft, practically waterproof leather.
There was a significant technology development since the stone age in the tanning industry. The next step was probably using a natural agent as tannins, from bark, seeds etc. This material is meant to be there to protect tree trees from fire, bacteria, insect. The leather made with this method is called vegetable tanned. It has significantly different parameters than the oil tanned ones, although it is difficult to describe them, as there are many versions.
Around the middle of the 19th century, chrome salts were introduced to the tanning industry. At this point, the process was way more complicated than before. From the caveman (probably more like women) "scrape the meat and hair off and smash the brain on it" method, they invented pretty sophisticated ones. The chrome was a big step forward. From the months-long veg tanning, the actual tanning process was only a few hours, and not like the veg-tan leather, the chrome was waterproof, still soft and nowadays very colorful. One characteristic of the chrome tanned leather: the cross section shows a bluish white line in the middle. It is perfectly normal, it doesn't mean anything bad, quite the opposite. Since the leather is waterproof after the vet blue phase (before they apply the color and other materials), the dying process can't dye it though. This also means that during the lasting process, this leather must be steamed.
Let's look at the most important leather types we can use!
Altered Leather — When a leather is not good enough to sell it as it is, they remove the top grain and emboss a new layer on it. For example, a several ten square feet alligator is usually a peaceful cow. It is pretty good for bags, although I wouldn't choose it for footwear.
Boxcalf, Calf, & Baby Calf — This type of leather should not have major imperfections since the animal never left the box. It is a strong, sturdy, thick leather without major fat wrinkles, not many mosquitoes, gadfly or other insect bites, whip marks, small or bigger scars, branding — just a few from the possible imperfections. They are used for the best quality footwear.
Bridle — Thick leather, basically vegetable tanned. Although, it is basically waterproof thanks to the after-treatment. Amazing leather for bags.
Crust — When you are up to the latest trends and want to create some pretty cool patina, search no more. This is your choice. The crust has not been finished by the tannery, so you can do with it as you wish.
Exotic leathers — Many exotic kinds of leather must have a plastic tag called CITES tag. Don't buy them without it! Check online which leathers must have it and insist on them.
Alligator — Alligator leather is beautiful, luxurious and expensive. They sell it by centimeter sidewise. You buy alligator when you have your patterns in hand or you'll spend more that is reasonable.
Caiman — The cheaper version of alligator, still very nice.
Cordovan — Originally this name stood for kidskin, nowadays for the horse, more precisely the butt part. Thick, beautiful and expensive and close to indestructible. Even scratches can be removed and the leather can be restored very perfectly. A good shoe, made from an alligator is a long term investment.
Snake — When we say snake, it is mostly Python. It is not legal everywhere. So again, do your homework before you order (especially in California). Snake is relatively thin, so you might need to interface it.
Stingray — Probably one of the best-looking leathers in this category, although surely the most challenging to work with. The little pebbles on the hide are as strong as teeth, so they mean quite a challenge for the sewing machine needles. There is a trick to work with it though.
Nubuck & Suede — The difference is easy to spot. The nubuck is practically a full grain hide, where the grain is buffed up, since the suede is a split (the bottom layer), it gets dirty easier, not very waterproof and the worst thing for manufacturing: the skiving will practically damage the hide.
Patent Leather — The method was invented in 1818, it practically means that the leather is covered with a plastic layer – the quality can be actually really mixed, sometimes tanneries apply this coating on the worst quality split hides.
Upholstery Leather — This is a pretty poor idea for shoes as it has been made for furniture. It usually comes in full hides, because of the special demands of the industry. (footwear cow hides – except calf – usually come in half hides, separated at the spine).
Vegetable Tanned Hides — There is leather purely tanned with this method or combined with other tanning technologies. The most common place you can find this is shoe soles and heels. For other shoe parts of fashion accessories, the usage is limited as any little liquid can leave a stain on the surface.
And now a few problems. Unfortunately, the reality is that not all leathers are perfect. There are insignificant, huge problems and ones that might cost you a fortune.
Bites — They are not beautiful, although with some leather (Reindeer), part of the characteristics.
Crocodile — This is probably the worst leather because the color washes out. If it goes to production overlooked, there will be some really upset customers, I guarantee you. There is nothing you can do about this, just try to avoid this leather. You can test it easily by rubbing a piece of wet, white cloth on the hide, if it comes off colored do not buy it. Seriously.
Fat Wrinkle — You can see a lot of fat wrinkles on older animals, vegetable tan hides. It is kind of normal, although you might not want to use it for a vamp.
Branding — You can find it on vegetable tanned hides – some makers skip it, some embrace these imperfections.
To be honest this was hardly scratching the surface. To be sure you buy the right leather, the help of a technical expert or a consultant will come very handy.

It's that strange bit of time between Christmas and New Year's - a sort of "no man's land" between the two holidays. I'm just starting to get the hang of this being on a break thing (starting to sleep in later and wear my jammies longer each day), and yet look a bit longingly at the calendar waiting for my regular routine and getting excited about offices and shops being open regular business hours again.
We watched the 4th Terminator movie today. Tomorrow we will watch the 5th and final one (I believe there will be more made in the future) and follow that up with the movie "Oblivion" on New Year's Eve, which seems a rather fitting way to finish 2015.
It's quiet and I like that. A peaceful life works well for me. Even the weather has calmed down in the last day or so. It's been a good way to refresh and renew the spirit. I think I'll go have some tea and do some knitting.

EVENT: SleepOut for Shelter
Homelessness is a problem that impacts everyone, whether you personally have a home or not. If you live in a community that has a homeless population, you are impacted. You encounter homeless people in stores, in public buildings such as libraries, and in area parks. They often go unacknowledged, but they are present and their need is real.
PADS is doing something to help homeless men, women, and children. They provide a safe place to sleep and warm meals to eat. More importantly, they offer recognition and respect to people who are often marginalized. PADS makes a difference in the lives of those who are struggling in these difficult economic times.
To help support PADS, I will be participating in the annual Sleepout for PADS on May 11, 2013. I will spend just one night outside, with none of my usual comforts I have grown accustomed to - running water, a safe home, TV, electricity to run so many convenience items...the list is long. Won't you partner with me? Donate what you can to help bring some humanity to a segment of our community that lives on the edge.
Thanks for your help!!!

For the past nine weeks, FX has been broadcasting The People vs. OJ Simpson, a mostly well-acted, Ryan Murphy-produced, dramatized version of a nonfiction book. It's recreated some famous moments while showing what happened behind-the-scenes where cameras weren't present, inspiring lots of fact-checking recaps that detail where the show deviated from reality.
In June, ESPN will air a documentary series based on the trial, the already highly lauded, five-part O.J.: Made in America, which debuted at Sundance and will even get a brief theatrical run to qualify for an Oscar.
Between those two versions comes something very different, and far less produced than either one: The Real O.J. Simpson Trial.
Yes, it's the actual trial—12 hours of it in total. Esquire will broadcast a marathon of raw footage from the trial and press conferences starting Sunday at 9 a.m. ET.
The 12 hours were produced in-house by the network, I've learned, and will be presented without narration or commentary, though it has been edited and condensed to focus on certain parts of the trial.
An Esquire representative told me the goal "is to let viewers revisit and re-watch the actual hearing to come to their conclusions and to highlight some of the most poignant moments from the courtroom, some which are baffling."
Here's a brief preview:

17 Travel Related Things to be Thankful For
1. One World Trade Center. The 6th tallest building in the world, is in lower Manhattan that I have visited time and time again.
2. Travel Photos. From early childhood through today I am reminded of the memories from each trip when looking back on photos!
3. A cousin in San Francisco. Extended work trip/birthday trip to explore a city that became a favorite pretty quickly. It helps our family has business in the wine industry. Looking to check out a cool urban winery in Oakland, CA check out Brooklyn West Winery.
4. Locals. There is so much you can learn from striking up a conversation with locals in a new town, city or country you are visiting. From where to eat of the beaten path to what to see on "off" hours are just some tips I have received from locals.
5. New Friends. In 2010 I went on Birthright Israel with 40 complete strangers. After 10 days I came home with half a dozen new friends for life. We've celebrated weddings, babies, and more already. Being spread across the country I am thankful for Facebook, texting and quick trips!
6. Work Trips. I've been able to see Las Vegas (4X) Chicago (2X) all expenses paid due to traveling for work. A few hours here and there and few hours less sleep I was able to explore the city on my off hours. Chicago has some of the most amazing architecture and I love that you see something new every time you walk down the Las Vegas Strip.
7. Vacation Time. Many companies offer it, yet many employees are hesitant to take it. I never understood that as I always believe if you are given something, you should take full advantage. For some it is easier then others. What's great is if you can tack on a long weekend.
8. In-Flight Entertainment. As much as I would love to admit I can sleep on planes, I usually have a hard time. If I find a boring movie I start to play it so I will knock out, quicker. On short flights I love to watch some TV shows.
9. A New Place. There is so much to see in this world. I tend to think that I am not a creature of habit, yet I have been known to frequent the same restaurants and places. However over the past few years I have made a huge effort to visit a new place at least once a year. It doesn't have to be an international trip, it can be one in my backyard!
10. New Jersey. My home state. From Atlantic City to Sussex County there is something for everyone. I spend summers at the Jersey Shore and fall/winter hiking and skiing in the same state.
14. United States Of America. Cities, National Parks, Beaches, you name it I have seen only a small piece of it. I would love to visit all 50 states in my lifetime. I have visited about only 15 so my list is long and my dreams are big!
15. Education. Travel is the best teacher out there. Many lessons of gratitude can also come from travel.
16. Budget Friendly Admissions. Did you know there are more and more free attractions or pay-what-you-wish/donation admissions? The Metropolitan Museum of Art has suggested admission. A Day At The Met!
17. The World. This beautiful and inspiring world that has been created for us to explore.
What are you thankful for this year? Is travel if not on the top, at least on this list?

Puberty is a significant phase in your kids' growing-up years. At this time, your kids undergo dramatic biological changes as they transform from kids to adults. Not only do they undergo physical changes, but emotional changes as well.
Puberty typically occurs earlier in girls than in boys.
Perhaps you remember when puberty was awkward enough when you were the one going through it. How can you help your kids through all the changes? It is important that you talk with your kids about puberty. This way, you prepare them for the changes they are about to undergo.[pq]Puberty is that stage when young boys and girls become sexually mature.[/pq]
In girls, puberty occurs between age 8 and 13. In boys, it occurs between age 10 and 15. Some children begin a little earlier than these ages. This is the reason some children still look like young kids whereas others look more like adults.
As your kids approach adolescence, they go through the five stages of puberty. In most girls, the first sign of puberty is enlargement of the breasts. The first sign of puberty in most boys is an increase in the size of the testicles.
|Stage 1
No sexual development

|Stage 2
|Testes enlarge

At some point, usually not until after your daughters' 8th birthday, or after your sons turn 9 or 10, an area of the brain called the hypothalamus starts to release gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH).
GnRH travels to the pituitary gland (a small gland under the brain that produces hormones that control other glands throughout the body) that triggers it to release two more puberty hormones – luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). These hormones dramatically affect your kids' development.
The process continues and what happens next depends on your kids' sex. For your sons, the puberty hormones travel through the bloodstream to the testes and give the signal to start producing sperm and the male hormone testosterone.
For your daughters, the puberty hormones travel to the ovaries and set off the maturation and release of egg cells and the production of estrogen, the hormone that prepares your daughters' bodies for conception.
DISCUSSING THE CHANGES WITH YOUR KIDS[pq]It is important to talk with your kids about the changes in their bodies during puberty.[/pq]
When you first notice these changes, you should have educated them on what to expect during puberty.
Have a series of talks with your kids, ideally when they are still young and only starting to ask questions about their bodies. Each time you talk, give more and more details, depending on your kids' maturity level and interest in the topic.
When they have a question, give an answer right away. If, as parents, you feel uncomfortable or uncertain about having these discussions, ask your family doctor for advice.

Our Mission
We prepare Indiana students for college by engaging them in rigorous math, science, and English coursework. We support them by delivering high quality professional development to their teachers and we continue to support those teachers through the use of our Content Directors. We provide greater opportunities for students to engage in their work and we reward them for their success.
The two main goals are:
- To increase the enrollment of students in math, science, and English Advanced Placement® courses in the schools participating in the project, and
- To increase the number of qualifying scores (3, 4, or 5) on AP® math, science, and English exams in the schools participating in the project
Our Results
More than 760 students achieved a score of 3, 4, or 5 on nearly 1,990 AP MSE tests, thereby becoming eligible for college credit for those college courses. (Many students took more than one AP test). In their first year of participating in AP-TIP IN, the number of participating schools' AP qualifying MSE scores (scores of 3, 4, or 5 that earn college credit) increased by 87 percent.

Bet you didn't expect me to pop in this time of night, did you? Well, here I am. :)
But first, we bring you yesterday.
Matt and Tavi really did lead worship for Sunday School, so I didn't have to have anything prepared. Maybe I'll use what I had next week. Then I skipped church and headed down to the field. We won the first game but lost the second to a team we'd lost to on Saturday. This means both years I've played, my team has lost in the semi-finals. I was only in a few points, but didn't really have anything spectacular to report either good or bad. The most frustrating part for me was when a certain teammate kept trying to call me out the few points I did go in for. Hey, I paid just as much money as he did to be there. Anyway, the two teams in the finals were the only two teams we lost to, so I'd say that's something to be proud of.
Probably the best part of the day was playing the crazy game some of us played while waiting for the finals to get going. We were doing things like opposite hand throwing and under a leg. Crazy stuff but I couldn't stop laughing.
Dave forgot to bring the songbooks to the SNYF last night, but that's ok since we didn't have time to sing. They've sure picked up on the nuances of 4 on a couch. After 30 minutes, Dave ended us with a tie.
Today was not my day. Phil was asking me about stuff I knew I'd have the answer to in a few days. He figured it out, but I really should have had an answer for him. Did get most of the problem with a different account figured out. Hopefully I can get the done early tomorrow.
And read this interesting op-ed piece today. I readily admit my biases. Wish others weren't so hypocritical about them.
Right now I'm on my way home from spending some time with Pete and his hot tub. Had some fun trying to come up with a name for our intramural ultimate frisbee team. I think we've decided on The Rogue Rascals, but I'm not certain. Muscles are now nice and relaxed, so I think it's time to head home and sleep. Good night.

Travel Indochina Rebrands as Insider Journeys
Tour Operator David Cogswell March 12, 2015
Asia cultural travel specialist Travel Indochina has outgrown its name and is rebranding itself as Insider Journeys.
The 21-year old company expanded beyond Indochina in its range of operations years ago, so the name has become somewhat of a misnomer. And while they are at it, the company also wants its brand to better represent what the company really offers.
The company has no plans to expand its operations beyond its present domain: Asia, or "from India to Japan," as Mark Yacker, the company's director of North America, puts it.
But the product or the service that the company provides is not just defined by destination. It's about the kind of access the company provides to the destination, the kind of experience it enables you to have. And that makes all the difference.
Everyone knows you can have a terrible time in the best of places. Competent, secure management of your vacation time is the primary service of tour operating. Getting you safely there, providing the essentials of the trip in comfort are the basic requirements of a tour operator. And then there are all the other things that are possible in a travel experience. That's where one tour operator can set itself apart from the crowd.
"What people are looking for are experiences," says Mark Yacker. "What we are doing is sharing this part of the world that we love. One of the things that sets us apart is that we are using insider knowledge to get away from the crowd."
The main gate to the temples at Angkor Wat is unfortunately extremely crowded. Traveling half way around the world to see one of the universally acknowledged most awesome sites in world civilization, and then to get stuck in a traffic jam just as you approach the grand temple complex, is the height of absurdity. But that does mar the experience of many visitors.
Insider Journeys has another way. The group gets up before dawn and heads to the east gate, carrying flashlights through the pre-dawn jungle as the birds are waking up around you. It's only a few minutes' walk, but the experience of walking through the Cambodian jungle at sunrise! Coming in from that side, your first sight of the temples is through the trees as you approach the clearing.
That's the kind of experience Insider Journeys specializes in. For years the company has been offering this kind of what it calls "Insider Experiences." That is what makes the company unique, and that's what it wanted its brand to represent.
So that's the way it is. From this day forward: Travel Indochina has morphed. Long live Insider Journeys!

Let me start out this review with a (sad) story: I was going to go up to my local bookstore (Interabang) to see St. James speak about THE BROKEN GIRLS on a press tour, but I was only about 50 or so pages in at the time. I wasn't really feeling the book and figured that either way I wouldn't want spoilers.
I am so dumb.
Yes, she probably would have spoiled the ending for me but dang – THE BROKEN GIRLS has to be one of my favorite books I've read. Not even just this year – ever.
We should probably dive in with a brief synopsis. I can't go too in depth because I'd be spoiling too much.
Here is how I think of it:
|Vermont 1950
|Vermont 1994
|Vermont 2014
|Four best friends and roommates live at a boarding school (known for being the "out of sight out of mind" population) called Idlewild.
They all have mysterious circumstances surrounding their reason for being at the school.
|Fiona, who we meet in 2014, has a sister who is murdered at Idlewild. Her murderer, her boyfriend, is in prison.
|Fiona is a journalist who can't get over the fact that her sister has been murdered and is now looking into the case again (with help from her cop boyfriend).
An anonymous donor is restoring Idlewild Hall. Why?
|Key characters:
|Key characters:
Fiona's sister
|Key characters:
Fiona's boyfriend, the cop
The family restoring Idlewild
I detailed it all out for you because sometimes I find it difficult to keep the timelines straight. There is a fair bit of back and forth, but it was done in a way that pushed the plot forward.
What remains consistent? Mary Hand (a ghost* whose death is under mysterious circumstances), and the school itself.
*I will take a second here to note that while I don't generally like when a book has supernatural elements (at least in a book that isn't classified as supernatural), but I don't think that this addition makes it cheesy or takes away from the plot at all.
I really loved this book because it contains some of my favorite things to read about: conspiracy, murder, boarding school. Each of these things can be so trite or corny, but St. James has a great knack for bringing it all together.
Like so many of my favorite books, the setting is one of the best "characters." The story, while in theory could have taken place anywhere, is so tied to Vermont and Idlewild itself.
Just as I mentioned above, I didn't always love this book. It definitely necessitated a push to get past the first 100 pages or so, but I am so glad that my gut told me to prevail. My only qualm with the book is that so much of the book is plot driven (vs. character driven, though there are certain elements of that) – I'm not typically drawn to this kind of writing style.
If you're looking for a book with a perfect balance of thriller and mystery, pick this one up as soon as possible. If anything, read it for the ending you (probably, I didn't) see coming. The ending is a little controversial (as some have said it is a little too out of left field), but I find it to be perfect.
Don't believe me? Listen to the over 12,000 people rating it 4+ stars on Goodreads.
Find it here on Amazon or here on Goodreads.

In February, United States pension fund CalSTRS adopted its eighth and last investment belief, finalising a project that started in 2015 to establish its first-ever set of investment beliefs.
This set of eight beliefs addresses issues such as diversification, illiquidity premia and agency risk.
Probably the most interesting of the beliefs are the conviction that proper management of environmental, social and corporate governance issues will add value over the long term and that in-house management enables the fund to best harness its resources.
But overall, there are no real surprises here.
Yet, we shouldn't underestimate the impact this clarification of an organisation's viewpoints can have on the efficiency of a fund, Roger Urwin, Global Head of Investment Content at Willis Towers Watson, says in an interview with [i3] Insights.
The creation of some sort of mandate-relevant beliefs is quite an art form which can help an organisation to be much more disciplined about an investment approach and it is a time saver at the same time
Urwin didn't want to comment on CalSTRS' beliefs in particular, but acknowledges that in many cases the reaction to a new set of investment beliefs is rather underwhelming.
"To be fair, some people would say that many of these beliefs are kind of obvious; they are not cutting edge as such. That makes some investment people less generous about them," he says.
"[But] don't underestimate the challenge in creating a belief system.
"Investment is a very difficult craft of decision-making under volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous circumstances and all of those things, particularly ambiguity, create the difficulty of operating without a schema as it were.
"The creation of some sort of mandate-relevant beliefs is quite an art form which can help an organisation to be much more disciplined about an investment approach and it is a time saver at the same time."
This holds true for pure financial beliefs, but also broader concepts that are held by the organisation.
"Spelling out the mandate in the extra-financial component is often the most difficult," Urwin says.
"A lot of my work is to help with beliefs in that area, where I think the beliefs have been the most difficult to get over the line."
Often these non-financial beliefs relate to the values held by an organisation and the reasons why an organisation has a 'social licence' to operate.
But they also can address broad secular trends, which the organisation might believe could alter the world as we know it. And this is where it gets more interesting, because often there is less consensus about how some of these mega-trends, as Urwin calls them, will play out.
If everyone shares the same belief, then it is very unlikely it's got much value creation overall
"Mega-trends are new to beliefs, but there is clear evidence that they are important," he says.
"Because they are structural, there is a reason why long-term thematics might be a candidate for the edgier beliefs. What I mean by edgier beliefs are beliefs that are differentiating and they are ultimately more responsible for value creation than the ho-hum beliefs that everyone shares.
"If everyone shares the same belief, then it is very unlikely it's got much value creation overall. But with edgy beliefs there is that potential to do better, certainly in the area of mega-trends."
But for many funds, this is still a work in progress, he says.
"The degree to which people have finished off their thinking here, I just don't think it has happened so far," he notes.

It's no secret that I love a matte lipstick, but the invention of liquid lipstick is still something that boggles my mind. I was first introduced to Ofra Cosmetics when I got my very first BoxyCharm subscription box, and it was love at first swipe.
They have tons of beautifully rich hues to choose from—good luck picking just one! This liquid lipstick goes on super creamy, never dries out, and lasts ALL day long.
Today I'm sharing a little Ofra Ombre love so you can see how pretty some of the shades are.
PSSSSST! Do me a huge favor and pin this photo to share with your friends!

A nation pouring out in wild adoration of a new god; a young man spurning family, prophecy and deity alike in his ideological blindness; a mother tearing her own son's head from his neck in devotional frenzy – these are the images that form the age-old myth of the Bacchae, handed down to us in the profound and poetic words of Euripides' play, given here in a fluent modern translation by George Theodoridis.
Stepping into the delightful Cassidy Quad, the vines coiled around pillars and dripping from overhangs instantly transport one to the scene of a Roman villa, dressed for Dionysiac celebration, while the long lines of empty bottles, abandoned heels and effusion of fairy lights surrounding the stage bring to mind a contemporary student's own version of Bacchanalian revels. This collision of ancient and modern reverberates throughout the play, with its timeless themes of religious extremism and prejudice.
An assured opening monologue from Jason Dhoray as Dionysos showed to full effect the righteousness of the young god, supported wonderfully by the chorus of crazed Bacchants, hair wild and lips sparkling red as though a portent of the blood soon to be spilt on their master's account. Their interludes and interjections proved delightfully unsettling throughout, in their sudden shifts between playful, almost whimsical hysteria and dark, forceful synchronisation.
In this manner, the play continually jumped between atmospheres, one moment light-hearted, celebratory, the next, powerfully emotive, filled with sorrow. The humoured performance of James Cumming as former King Kadmos and Egor Mutovkin as the blind prophet Teiresias cut sharply across the arrogant, self-assured airs of Tom Jacobs as Pentheus, current king and grandson of Kadmos. Mutovkin in particular demonstrated the two-sided nature of the play by skipping nimbly between gentle, droll wisdom, and the dark utterance of the ancient seer.
The carefully masked insecurity of Jacobs' young king played off well against Dhoray's smug self-assurance as the disguised god taken prisoner, the dramatic irony of the scene excellently drawn out in their sharp dialogue. This double act proved strong throughout, especially in Dionysos' coy persuasion of Pentheus to disguise himself as a woman, and Jacobs' subsequent, subtly wrought transformation of character, as if to give a glimpse of his redemption just as the god sends him knowingly to his doom.
Excellent support was provided by the skilfully humorous performance of George Tarling as Pentheus' guard, providing an artful comic mask to the darker tones of the piece. Sarah MacMillan as the herald gave a frantic and powerful speech on the terrible power of Dionysos' followers, masterfully drawing out the bleak poetry of Euripides' text. Magali Guastalegnanne, again, provided a strongly emotive speech, launching the play violently towards its woeful end with the news of Pentheus' death at the literal hands of his own family.
Honor Halford-Macleod as Agave, Pentheus' mother, having taken the stage for this final episode, in blissful, bloodstained ignorance of her crime, descended movingly from a victorious huntress to a bereaved mother with the dirge of Pentheus' scattered remains, bathetically dragged to the stage in a binbag. The great pathos of this scene was masterfully brought out in the two contrasting portraits of grief, with Agave's screaming, bitter lamentation at the realisation of her crazed infanticide alongside Kadmos' painfully suppressed grief for his only heir, all tempered with the giggling, sarcastic taunts of the chorus.
This tense, emotive scene leaves the play with no clear moral, but its power is nonetheless unquestionable. The production team, headed by Christie Clark as Director, have brought together an excellent cast to produce a masterful production of the work, often cited as Euripides' masterpiece. The divergent themes and styles of performance presented within truly reflect the varied, uncertain message of the play, and what you take away from this tragic depiction of loss and collapse is, perhaps unnervingly, left to the viewer's judgement.

I've been looking at the various original Katana fan sites and finding things to disagree with. No they did not appear in showrooms in 1980, that sort of thing. I recall seeing the shocking showbike in the magazines in probably late 1980, Crazy thing! They'll never produce that bike, too bizarre. After all, the previous oddball failure from Suzuki- the RE-5- was fresh in people's minds.
But then, amazingly Suzuki did produce it and we saw a prototype 1100 in Canada in November 1980 when it rolled into the gas station in Kingston, Ontario, the rider/tester looking for a Suzuki dealer because the front brake lever was coming back to the bar... that anti dive never really worked well...
We Canadians got the 1100, a 750 and the 550, even more weirdly styled- with orange calipers and brake disc edges, the bikes appearing in the showrooms after being shown at the January motorcycle show.
I bought the first Katana in Kingston, a 750, in late February 1982, but did not pick it up till early May. I also picked up this Suzuki pamphlet, folded out left to right, the important part of the 1100 styling was displayed in 9x24" format- big enough to be a poster. On the back was the the streetbike line, featuring the 1100 and 550 Katanas. Not even a picture of the 750. I've seen pictures online of a 750 apparently sold in some markets with no windshield, not the case in Canada. We got the whole bodywork of the 1100 with different paint, the front fender and tailpiece were all-silver, the seat all-blue smooth vinyl. not quite as attractive I thought, as the 1100. The tach featured a redline of 9500 compared to the 9000 of the 1100.
The fairing of my early-production bike was fibreglass, later I acquired a 1983 model, that fairing was injection-molded. I assume the tool wasn't ready yet? I don't know when Suzuki changed over.
Other markets got the rubber fins located under the fairing, Suzuki refers to them as "wing-cowling". We never got them on Canadian bikes- but they were available in the parts book!
As far as I know, this pamphlet was the only 750 Katana promotion from Suzuki. I never saw any magazine test of the 1982 750 Katana and only a 550 comparison test (including the Katana) in Cycle Canada.
Folded out again vertically and the rest of the 1982 lineup was revealed. I did not include that part of the pamphlet in this post. No price list but a reader Drew found one from 1983 with a very similar model lineup. Attached below.
|Thanks, Drew!

INA, Ill. (April 18, 2013) - Rend Lake College will begin an evening Therapeutic Massage program in the fall.
Massage Therapy is a profession that provides personal and business benefits. Reasons for pursuing this avenue of professional growth are as individual as the student.
"Part of the college's mission is to make educational programming as available as possible to anyone who wants to pursue it," said Kim Robert, dean of the Allied Health Division. "We understand many students struggle to balance family, work and school. It's unfortunate when those responsibilities cause someone to decide to drop out of a program or not go back to school at all. Hopefully, by offering this program at night, they can pursue an education on a schedule that fits."
The Therapeutic Massage program is designed to provide a basic education in the profession of therapeutic massage, including classroom theory, laboratory practice and clinical experience in the public setting. Instruction in CPR / First Aid, business and ethics also is included. This program prepares individuals for careers in massage and bodywork. Practitioners use their hands to apply various scientific principles to the muscles and soft tissue. Therapeutic massage is used to facilitate relaxation, health improvement and pain relief.
RLC's Occupational Certificate in Therapeutic Massage includes the following classes:
- Introduction to Therapeutic Massage
- Therapeutic Massage Techniques I
- Human Body for Massage Therapy I
- Pathology for Massage Therapy
- Business Practices and Ethics
- Responding to Client Emergencies
- Human Body for Massage Therapy II
- Therapeutic Massage Techniques II
- Therapeutic Massage Clinical I
- Therapeutic Massage Clinical II
Upon successful completion of the program, the student will be eligible for Illinois state licensure and to take the National Certification Exam. One of the final classes in the program focuses on reviewing for the National Certification Examination. The program is approved by the Illinois Community College Board and recognized by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork. It consists of 29 credit hours (616 contact hours). The program is housed at the Rend Lake College MarketPlace in Mt. Vernon.
Employment Opportunities
Varied employment opportunities exist in the field of therapeutic massage, including (but not limited to): working along with other health care professionals in a clinical setting – hospitals, chiropractors' and physicians' offices, physical therapy and pain management clinics – spa settings, beauty shops, corporations and, in many cases, self-employment, both full- and part-time.
Program Requirements
Therapeutic Massage is not an open-entry program. Application requirements include:
- Admission to Rend Lake College
- Graduation from an accredited high school or GED certificate
- Proof of sound health by a physician, physician assistant or nurse practitioner
- Documentation of health screenings and immunizations
- Membership in a national massage association with liability insurance
- Completion of each class with a grade of "C" or better
- Passing of a background check
Financial Aid
The college tries to assist individuals who demonstrate financial need, and in most cases, financial aid is available.

Locally endowed scholarships are available to full-time students through the RLC Foundation.

Commodities Trading Analysis for Gold, Silver, Crude Oil and Natural GasCommodities / Commodities Trading Jul 20, 2009 - 02:23 AM GMT
The rising tide lifts all boats, and that is exactly what we saw last week. Gold, silver, oil, natural gas, and stocks all put in a solid bounce last week.
All our funds put in solid moves with GLD, SLV and GDX all breaking out of their down trend channels which is bullish. While they have generated breakout buy signals we continue to wait for more price action to unfold before putting our hard earned money to work. Each of these funds currently have over 3% down side risk so no position will be taken at this time.
During breakouts is when "Breakout Trader's" take positions which surges prices higher once the resistance level is broken. While this method can produce big gains, I tend to avoid this method because of two critical points. First, downside risk is generally 8+%, and second breakouts have a high failure rate.
That being said we continue to let our funds/commodities unfold so we can enter when risk is below 3% and the odds are more in our favor.
GLD – Gold Trading ETF
GLD broke out last week generating a buy signal. While this is great to see, I continue to wait for a test of the breakout which should set us up with a low risk entry point similar to the one we had in May. We have 4 Blue arrows and are waiting for my signature low risk setup.
GDX – Gold Stocks ETF
Gold stocks have bounced and are currently out performing the price of gold which is bullish for gold. Gold stocks like the gold miners typically are a leading indicator for gold bullion. We are now waiting for a low risk entry point.
SLV – Silver Trading ETF
Silver is in the same position as gold and gold stocks. We are now waiting for a low risk entry point.
USO – Crude Oil Trading ETF
The crude oil etf pulled back to the support zone which we expected a few weeks back. We are now seeing a bounce off this support zone but oil is currently trading at resistance which is the 50 day moving average. Momentum is still down therefore we must give this fund more time to fully correct before pulling the trigger and taking a position.
UNG – Natural Gas Trading ETF
Natural gas had a big technical breakdown a couple weeks ago and it needs more time to build a foundation/bottom before a low risk entry setup will be generated.
Technical Trading Conclusion:
Precious metals broke out to the up side which we have been expecting. Precious metals and PM stocks are now on a buy signal but at the current prices, risk is much too high. We continue to wait for my low risk setup which provides the best odds for the commodity/ETF to follow through with its breakout. We could get a buy signal for these funds within 4 days if we are lucky but I expect it will take longer than that.
Oil and gas are farther away from a buy signal. Both broke down hard in the past couple weeks and a lot of damage was done. These commodities/ETFs need some time to build a new foundation/bottom before we can start looking for a low risk entry point.

This is good news as most of my time is spent with a phone over a computer, something about mobile browsing vs an app. The app tends to win. Thanks to Cake for getting this out, it is working great so far.
* edit to add - I wrote this from my computer haha. I feel like a fraud now. But really, I will use the app more.
