Spirit Rock's residential retreat accommodations offer comfort and simplicity. Located on 410 acres in rural west Marin, 30 miles north of San Francisco, we invite you to experience an ideal natural setting for reflection and contemplative practice, surrounded by gentle hills and expansive views.
Residential retreats are held in the upper area of the Spirit Rock campus with separate buildings for dining, meeting and sleeping. Most retreats are conducted in silence—and silence is honored by all in these buildings during a retreat. Although the buildings are a short walk from each other, there is a slope from the dining room to the residences and to the meditation hall. We have personal scooters available if the steep hill is a challenge.
Spirit Rock offers housing for 96 yogis, teachers and the staff who support our retreats. No camping is allowed on the campus. Sleeping accommodations are housed in four, two-story residence halls, named for the Four Brahma Viharas (or Divine Abodes)—Metta, Karuna, Mudita and Upekkha. These simple, comfortable buildings house both single and double rooms. Room dividers are available for double rooms to allow for more privacy if desired. Each room has its own sink and mirror, electrical outlets, shelving and hangers for belongings, a nightstand, reading light and folding chair. Most rooms offer a pleasant view of the surrounding hills or forest.
The Upekkha dormitory is not carpeted, which is offered for the comfort of those with chemical sensitivities. All buildings are rigorously maintained and cleaned with environmentally-friendly cleaning products.
The weather in northern California is temperate during most of the year, allowing for comfortable sleeping and meditation. During the winter, the residential housing is comfortably heated.
A pillow, blanket and bedspread are provided. We suggest that you bring your own sheets, pillow case and towel. However, fresh bed linens and towels are also available to rent for $7-12 sliding scale (this is for all the linens—you may also rent individual items for a lesser price).
Bathroom facilities—including toilets and showers—are shared on each floor. Spirit Rock does not provide rooms with private bathrooms, although a private bathtub is available on the 1st floor of each building for those with special needs.
In consideration of others, we ask that you refrain from wearing scented products, including natural or essential oils while staying with us. To assist you, unscented bath products are provided in the communal bathrooms.
The Dining Hall, which serves delicious vegetarian meals, is a short walk down the hill from your sleeping quarters. Meals—breakfast, lunch and a light supper—are served on a daily schedule, and the Dining Hall remains open for late night, self-service tea.
The upper Retreat Hall offers a gracious, welcoming space for daily meditation and dharma talks, plus separate space for yoga and other movement classes when offered. Plenty of pillows, cushions backrests, zafus, zabutons, and straight back, cushioned chairs are available for your ease and support. During the winter months, the heated floors of the upper Retreat Hall add to your comfort. You may wish to bring a shawl or small blanket.

What I Learned from Jumping off a Cliff.
For five years I have worked toward my certification in Anusara Yoga. Then just like that, all my hopes and dreams were gone.
The teachers who already have their certification can keep that forever, even if they don't stay with what is left of the yoga school, as a symbol of what they earned. But I was almost there, not quite, ABC (All But Certification), 750 hours up to my keister in effort. If you multiply that by an average of $30 per hour, plus travel costs, I spent more than $25,000. For that I was Anusara-Inspired, and now that's Expired. God I hope my husband doesn't read this blog.
So when it came time to take a stand amidst the divisiveness that will end Anusara as we know it, I ran right up to the cliff, then balanced on my tippy toes. At my back were so many people and a system that I loved. In front of me, was a whole lot of uncertainty.
This wasn't my first time at the edge of a cliff. Years ago when my boys were just eight and ten, we found ourselves at the edge of a cliff while skiing. At our backs was a long hike up to the trail. In front of us was about a 15 foot drop over a rocky wall. As I was leaning over to unfasten my skis (because any rational person would have hiked backed up) one boy jumped. Then went the other. I did not have a lot of time to think; I was angry and terrified my boys were going to kill themselves. So off a cliff I went.
"Holy cow," one boy said. "Mom went for it."
Any rational person would wait and see what happens to Anusara Inc. But sometimes, being rational is not what is required. When you are at the edge of a cliff, what you might need is courage and trust. This is the ultimate test of yoga. Will your belief in a greater good, a Divine good, a Universal good carry you through? Will God, or the Tooth Fairy, or whatever you believe in, be there for you? Will "You" be there for you?
What makes the jump easier is knowing exactly who you are, and what you stand for. When my boys jumped, just like any mother I had to go after them. There was no question. In this case, it was really the same. When I looked at the facts, and I do mean the undisputed facts in the matter when you clear away the "kulaid" and the craziness, Anusara, INC. no longer made sense to me.
So Mom went for it. Just like any cliff we encounter, it wasn't as far down as I thought. And when I landed after the jump, I felt proud and very alive.
What I learned from jumping off a cliff is that I was already closer to the bottom than I realized, and jumping off was the only way for me to get back to the top.

love the kulaid
Nicely done Michelle. And I can totally relate to jumping off the cliff, having done that a bit on my snowboard. Funny to think of this situation parallel to that… There are many mountains, many paths to play upon.
None of your efforts or your learning will ever go away Michelle! You can take all the positive aspect of this experience forward, leaving what no longer serves you behind. And I'm right there with Katrina, on my snowboard and the cliff…very liberating experience!
Nice piece. I agree that sometimes jumping into the unknown is the only way to grow in your life and to align with your own integrity. For what it's worth, Noah Maze has stated that as he and Darren and Christina put together their School of Yoga, they are looking for a way to enable people who've been pursuing their Anusara certification to finish their now-non-Anusara certification with them. But you probably know that already. In any case, I'm sure your training and experience will see you through just fine. Anusara Inc would have us believe that the only way to become a yoga teacher of repute is to have the Anusara license and seal of approval, but there's a whole world of yoga out there waiting for us.

Start Again. ~ Mary Davis
Sitting in a chair whose history is long and poignant, my eyes gently shut.
Feeling my body vibrating, parts pinging their presence, settling in.
As usual, it's a bit shallow, never quite reaching my belly, but with attention, it lengthens and deepens into the belly and through the back. And again. And again.
Its pace slowing on its own. Unwinding, breath by breath.
A scene starts to play out in my head. A movie I must have made in my sleep. Characters arise fully formed. Bits of dialogue.
Finding the breath again. "Start again," as one of my favorite Leonard Cohen songs advises. I wonder when Leonard Cohen is coming back to town. The man puts on a damn fine show. "Don't dwell on what has passed away," I start to sing to myself, "or what is yet to be."
Coming back yet again to the breath. Finding my home in the equanimity of a quiet mind. There we go. That's it. Damn, I'm such a good meditator.
Shit. Lost again.
The pain in my lower back sidetracks the trip back to the breath. That's okay, I can investigate that. Stupid pain. Can't it see I'm trying to meditate. No, sense it. What is it? Tight? Sharp? Deep? Shallow?
Screw it! This sucks! Why does this always happen to me?
Oh. Where did that pain go?
Okay, back to the breath. Feeling the coolness of the in breath right at that spot between my nose and lip and barely sensing the subtlety of the out breath.
Opening once again to this moment. I really should write about this some time.
Mary Davis is just trying her best to be a decent person and hopes to wake up one of these days. Occasionally, she writes under the pen name LazyBuddhist.

This is a pilot project to sequence the genome of H. microstoma. Shotgun sequencing will be performed using 454 pyrosequencing and illumina sequencing. The draft genome will be used to assess levels of polymorphism and to evaluate prospects for further sequencing. The draft will be used for comparative genomics against other tapeworms such as Echinococcus multilocularis and Echinococcus granulosus and as a reference for gene finding using RNA-seq.
This work is being done in collaboration with Dr. Pete Olson from the Natural History Museum.
The genomes of four tapeworm species reveal adaptations to parasitism.

Turquoise onesie with cherry red accents
Having bright cheery colors for a new baby boy or baby girl is so much fun. Getting them dressed every day in new pieces and exciting colors is great for many parents. We all want our little ones to stand out and really make heads turn when they are out and about. It is great when we hear people ooh and ahh over our little ones as well. This three piece set will do just that.
The colors are so much fun and it is functional too. The great bright turquoise onesie and the fresh red bib and matching red booties is so adorable. The pieces are great too since they are necessity items that every parent needs plenty of on hand at all times.
Onesies are so easy to use and simple to get on babies. They make clothing changes and diaper changes easier than ever. Three snaps at the bottom and your done. Plus, they are perfect to wear in the summer or winter months. They can easily be layered together on those colder days or worn alone when it is nice and warm out.
This three-piece set has everything that is needed in it. There are plenty of pieces to mix and match with anything else that baby already has in their wardrobe. These colors are great since they can easily be mixed and matched and combined with many other pieces and colors too. They look amazing when paired with bloomers, skirts, shorts, baby pants and more.

13 songs you won't hear on the radio this holiday season

Volunteer Opportunities
Be a Vista Volunteer
Vista Del Mar Child & Family Services offers volunteer opportunities for individuals who truly want to make a meaningful difference in the lives of troubled and challenged children.
Currently, we have opportunities in vitally important roles as mentors, tutors, or activity/skill based volunteers in our residential program, (see details below).
If you are interested in becoming a Vista Volunteer, please begin the process by contacting Brenda Thompson, our Rehab Coordinator, at (310)836-1223, extension 385, or email her at the agency. A brief follow up call will determine area of interest based on need, and an interview will be set-up with Vista's Mentor/Volunteer Coordinator to determine if there is an appropriate match. It is vitally important that all prospective volunteers are placed in the appropriate opportunity. Upon completion of a successful interview process, each volunteer will attend an information session, complete the application below, and pass a background check and TB test . The application is found on our website below, or can be picked up at Vista Del Mar during the interview process.
All Information Sessions will take place at the Vista Del Mar Campus in the Administration Building. Specific directions will be emailed upon confirmation of attendance at one of these sessions.
Relationship Mentor (Special Friend): Are you a caring and compassionate individual who enjoys supporting and mentoring youth? Vista Del Mar is currently seeking dedicated and trustworthy adult volunteers to commit to a one-on-one friendship with an at-risk teen between 12-18 years old. The Relationship Mentor program was created for our residential youth who have little to no contact with their parent or guardian. These teens are commonly placed in our care due to severe cases of abuse, neglect, and abandonment. After being accepted into the program, Mentors provide guidance to their Mentee, and support positive character, social and emotional development. We are in great need of Mentors who represent the various demographics of the youth we serve, including diversity in gender, age, sexual orientation, ethnic, racial, religious and cultural backgrounds. To qualify for this program, Mentors must pass an interview process, criminal background check, have a clean driving record, and are able to commit to a minimum of 8 weekend hours a month for one year. We also ask that mentors have some experience with higher education, while individuals with a BA degree and/or experience working with at-risk youth are highly preferred. If you are 21 years of age or older, and up for this once in a lifetime experience, please begin the process by contacting Brenda Thompson by email or (310)836-1223 Ext. 385.
Academic Based Mentor/Tutor: Vista Del Mar utilizes adult volunteers to assist youth with reaching their academic goals. Applicants must commit to a minimum of 2 hours per week, for 3-6 months and possess independent work habits.
Skill based and Activity Volunteers: Vista Del Mar seek volunteers with special skills or training. These volunteer positions are used to support a specific need for a program. Examples of these skills include: Recreation/Sports, Yoga, therapeutic art, health/wellness, cooking and other adjunctive therapies. Most of these have been coordinated through the rehab department and support the residential program.

In San Diego, Irish and British pubs have faithful clientele that keep the ales flowing.
Many pubs are located all around San Diego County and a number of them are still located in neighborhoods, not commercial centers. One thing you might notice is that there are many more Irish pubs in San Diego than British ones. This is because, historically, there have been more Irish folks than Brits in San Diego.
Pubs are a great place to socialize with locals and to have some good
'chips' to go along with your pint. Pubs usually feature plenty of booths, most have a dart board and all of them usually carry live televised soccer and rugby matches. And best of all, just about all of these pubs are local proprietors, not corporations.
Our Favorite British Pubs
Shakespeare Pub & Grill (3701 India Street) - Since 1990, Shakespeare has been serving great chips and ales. This Middletown pub was started by two people who used to work at the Princess Pub in Littlie Italy and it has been a hit since Day 1. We really like the ambience at Shakespeare whether it is outside on their large deck or inside in the cozy pub. Parking is available in the pub's small lot but there is usually plenty of metered parking around it. If it is a beautiful sunny day, head over to Shakespeare. You won't be disappointed.

Princess Pub (1665 India Street) - Located in Little Italy, the Princess attracts a steady clientele of downtown denizens and tourists equally. The Princess has occupied the same corner of Little Italy since 1984. Outside and indoor seating are available and plenty of metered parking is available around the pub.

Hamilton's Tavern (1521 30th Street) - Located in the up and coming area called South Park, Hamilton's Tavern is just the ticket to enjoy a cold beer on a very hot day. This alehouse defies classification so thus the inclusion in this British pubs classification.
Don't be put off by the darkness of the bar because the lightness comes from the attentive staff and the clientele who are very friendly. A cafe operates on the premises so don't worry about going hungry. This tavern's 25-tap beer selection ranges from Belgian to British to San Diegan. They also have an extensive collection of bottled beers. Hamilton's is good enough to let you know the style of beer and its alcohol content. This is a very helpful thing so you don't get too snockered without knowing it when you take that first sip!

Our Favorite Irish Pubs
The Ould Sod (3373 Adams Avenue) - Ahhh, the Ould Sod. What a great little place to go have some masterfully poured Guinness. This small and quaint bar is located in Normal Heights and is a great neighborhood pub. Somehow, they are able to accommodate live music acts in their small pub. What we want to convey is that this place is the real deal. Trust us.

The Field (544 Fifth Avenue) - Located in Downtown's Gaslamp Quarter, the Field is one of several Irish pubs located within close proximity of each other. The Field is known for its beautiful and unique decor that was shipped over directly from Ireland. If you think the place looks old, you are right, it is. The other interesting bit about The Field is that we heard that it is a Guinness company pub. Whatever the case, The Field has been a hit. It is a very popular pub and attracts many folks who party in the Gaslamp.

O'Brien's Pub (4646 Convoy Street) - This is more than just a pub - it is a gathering spot for serious beer aficionados. The owner of O'Brien's is always planning special events focused around his favorite subject, good beer. This pub is located in an Asian strip mall which makes the place even more of an anomaly in San Diego. The pub has both inside and outside seating as well as a dart range. O'Brien's serves beer from all around the world and always features a wide range of locally brewed ales. Again, the emphasis is on good beer.

By L. D. Taylor | Leave a comment
Runecaster's Handbook: the Well of Wyrd, by Edred Thorsson Red Wheel/Weiser, 9781578631360, 129 pp. (incl. glossary and index), 1988, 1999Runecaster's Handbook is a concise volume, targeted at providing the reader with just enough information to go about making and casting the rune-lots. As such, it touches briefly on a great many subjects, constantly referencing and referring the curious reader to Thorsson's other works: Futhark: A Handbook of Rune Magic, and Runelore: A Handbook of Esoteric Runology.Thorsson begins with a chapter on the history of the runes, followed by a chapter on divinatory theory. His approach to history is scholarly rather than the wishful thinking commonly found in Occult or New Age books. He clearly outlines which associations and practices have been documented historically and is explicit in presenting interpretation as interpretation rather than fact. Read More

MORRISTOWN — Residents in Morristown are rallying against a proposed $500 million power plant they fear will harm the quiet agricultural community.
But while neighbors worry the development is a done deal, officials with energy company Tenaska are trying to answer their questions and say there's plenty of work that needs to be done to bring the project to fruition.
Tenaska is considering building a new natural gas-fueled power plant on 98 acres in an industrial park on the far east side of town.
While it's uncertain whether plans will actually become reality, tension in the community just south of Hancock County has been escalating as dozens of its 1,200 residents worry it will affect their way of life and property values.
Tenaska officials announced in December they were eyeing a site in the community's industrial park for a new plant. The project would boost economic development: 600 to 700 construction workers would be needed to build the facility. When it's complete, it would employ 25 people.
But tension has been building in recent weeks, with nearly 100 "Stop Tenaska" signs dotting the community. Town council meetings have become tense, and disputes have ensued over social media and whether the public can record open meetings of the town council.
The public angst might come to a head next Wednesday, when a company representative from Tenaska will give the council an update on plans.
For Sara Goedde, one of the neighbors leading the charge against the plant, the meeting could offer some insight into how the facility will affect the community. The issue has become divisive, she said, and she hopes the public becomes educated on how it could impact the community.
"All we want to do is put information out," Goedde said. "It's a tiny town, it's only 1,200 people, and there's still people that don't know anything about it. Well, you should know; whether you're for it or against it."
Goedde and her husband, Kirby, have lived in Morristown 13 years with their three daughters. The proposed facility would be directly behind their rural home, and Goedde worries about noise, light, the impact on water and more.
"I've been looking at aerial views of other plants. Typically, they don't put it close to town," Goedde said. "Not a house within a half mile, or if there was a house, there's a dense woods between the power plant and the residents."
There are more than 180 followers on the "Stop Tenaska Power Plant" Facebook page, and residents have packed the past few town council meetings, hoping for any morsel of information on the proposed development.
Helen Manroe, director of development for Tenaska, said there are 16 other natural gas sites in the country, and it's common for neighbors to have plenty of questions and concerns. The problem is, until the economic climate is right to build the new plant, it's hard to answer many questions about what type of emissions there will be, the type of equipment and the water requirements.
"It's very common for people to have concerns," Manroe said. "That happens in every community that we go to. And part of the challenge here is …we need to do at least some preliminary work, and when you're doing this preliminary work there's lots of stuff you don't know yet and people get frustrated when you can't provide answers. We understand that. I hate that I don't have all the answers right now today, I wish that I did. But that's not the way these projects work."
Manroe said Tenaska will work to get contracts for companies to sell the energy to, but until the market is right, company officials won't know when the new plant will be built.
Still, she's trying to answer as many questions as she can, and she'll address the town council at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
Manroe said it's not unusual for the power plants to be built within a half mile of residential neighborhoods. The benefit of opening in an industrial park in Morristown, she said, is town officials have already marked the area for industrial growth.
"I know that some of the people who have concerns are concerned about the amount of buffer that exists at this plant as opposed to other plants," she said. "But the industrial park as a whole serves as a buffer because the purpose of an industrial park is to ensure residential homes aren't built nearby. In reality, we have a 400-acre buffer in Morristown because that's how big the industrial park is."
Manroe points to the benefits of the half-billion-dollar facility moving into the community, not only for the tax base for Morristown and Shelby County, but for the construction jobs that will draw workers from all over central Indiana.
And while original plans called for 8 million gallons of water a day, Manroe said now the company is considering a dry-cooling system where only a few hundred thousand gallons of water are used daily.
But for Goedde, whose property includes a lake, the switch to a dry-cooling system is questionable.
"We don't know what we're getting into. We don't even know what that is," she said.
The development has not only raised red flags when it comes to Tenaska, Goedde said, but it has also increased tension between residents and town officials.
Goedde filed a formal complaint with the Indiana Public Access Counselor last month, after the town council voted to ban audience members from recording meetings.
The council has since rescinded the rule, realizing it is against the state's Open Door Law. Still, Goedde said she was shocked members would even consider it and was upset they made the motion in a special meeting in which it was not on the agenda. Goedde is also frustrated her comments on the town's Facebook page have been removed.
The public access counselor will make a decision on Goedde's complaint later this month after hearing from the town attorney and clerk-treasurer.
Ralph Henderson, town council president, has a simple hope for Wednesday's meeting: "Calm."
Henderson said the council passed the rule banning recordings last month after the public got out of hand at a meeting. While he said town attorney Mark McNeely suggested the rule, the council rescinded it at the following meeting when members realized it was violating state law.
Henderson said he's not going to let next week's meeting get out of hand, and he hopes Manroe's presentation will answer a lot of questions.
Bottom line, Henderson said, is town officials need to learn more details about the plant before even thinking about granting tax breaks to Tenaska.
"I'm not saying I'm for or against it. Everyone has said we've already signed papers," Henderson said. "I haven't heard one of them say they're for or against; I don't think they can be. You've got to look at what's best for the town, like anything."

Dear Wendyl,
I am about to become a grandmother for the first time and I am very excited. But I have to say something about a terrible decision they have made. The name of the baby is just horrible. I'm not going to write it here because they might read this letter, but it is on a par with Chardonnay and Harley in terms of Westie names. I've tried to suggest other names and gently pointed out that the poor child will spend his whole life having to explain it, but they are adamant and think they have been clever. Do you have some ideas?
Worried Gran, by email
Dear Worried Gran,
I suggest you channel your energies into something useful like paying for a stroller, or help do up the nursery because this is none of your business. The world has changed since you were naming babies and last time I looked it is and always has been the parents' job to name a child. The best you can hope for is that he will get a nickname which you feel happier using, and if not you can create your own.
Send your questions to firstname.lastname@example.com or write to Agony Aunt, NZWW, PO Box 90119, Victoria St West, Auckland 1142.

Here's how: California, like every other state in the nation, will use the new U.S. Census data to redraw our political districts in 2011 to make sure that every district contains the same number of people. This process is called redistricting, and it happens every 10 years. But the 2011 redistricting process will be very different in California. And the rest of the nation will be watching us.
Back in 2008, we, the voters of California, made history by passing Proposition 11, taking the redistricting power from the legislature and putting it in the hands of ordinary citizens. Now the responsibility for drawing new district maps for the state Senate, Assembly, and Board of Equalization will be entrusted to a new Citizens Redistricting Commission made up of 14 voters — five Democrats, five Republicans, and four people from neither of those parties.
Here's why it's so important that ordinary citizens — people like you — apply to serve on the commission. For decades, the state legislature designed these electoral districts. The system was rife with self-interest and backroom deals. The result? Strangely-shaped districts that practically guaranteed re-election for incumbents — protecting the interests of politicians, their campaign funders and their political parties while ignoring community interests.
With a state as large and diverse as California, who draws the lines and how those lines are drawn will truly shape the future of our state. Under Proposition 11, the new Citizens Redistricting Commission, using a fair and open process, will draw the district lines. But for the process to work, we need as many qualified, public-spirited Californians as possible to apply to be commission members.
If you have an open mind and you appreciate the importance of California's diversity, you'd probably make a good commissioner. For important information about specific qualifications for being a commissioner, please take a close look at the Redistricting Commission's Web site www.WeDrawTheLines.ca.gov as well as the California League of Women Voters website, www.lwvc.org
We need your help to make the new redistricting process a success. Our future may depend on it.
Jamie Shepard, president
League of Women Voters of
So. San Mateo County, Menlo Park

Detroit - A man was charged Tuesday in the slayings of seven prostitutes in Detroit between 2001 and June of this year.
Shelly Andre Brooks faces seven counts of premeditated murder and seven counts of felony murder. The 37-year-old Detroit resident faces a sentence of life in prison without parole if convicted of any of the counts.
Brooks remains a suspect in the deaths of seven other prostitutes. Detroit Police Chief Ella Bully-Cummings said the other seven killings were "very similar," but she declined to comment further.
Police said all seven of the women Brooks is accused of killing were drug users and ranged in age from 30 to 53. All were raped and killed by blunt-force trauma.
Their bodies were found on the city's east side, some in buildings and others in vacant lots.
Brooks has been in custody since July 30 and was being held in connection with a sexual assault of a prostitute. He was to be arraigned later Tuesday on the murder charges.

A Child of Difference
When do I tell people that my child is a dwarf? Sometimes, not telling can be a hostile act. Mostly I go with a spontaneous sense of what's comfortable.
By Lisa Abelow Hedley
AT 16 WEEKS into an uneventful third pregnancy, I insisted on a statistically unwarranted amniocentesis and got the result we all want: normal. The child was the daughter we hoped to conceive after two sons, and I fantasized about a long-legged creature in a ballet tutu, one more noisy kid scrambling onto the bus.
On a sunny June morning my daughter lay in her hospital bassinet, sucking in her sleep, dreaming whatever it is babies dream on their third day of life.
"We think she has achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism," the doctor said without actually meeting my eye.
The word sounded sort of pleasant -- mellifluous, non-threatening. But achondroplasia forever defined my daughter as different.
I read somewhere that even without conscious awareness, a mother will gently examine her baby as part of the bonding process. With my other children I had eagerly unfolded the blankets and inspected every inch. This time I was content to feed her and let her sleep. I chalked it up to the third child being less of a novelty, but I realize, in retrospect, that I must have had a mother's instinct, some sense that she was different.
Even as I knew the diagnosis to be true, I clung to the hope that my doctor might be wrong. But the diagnosis was confirmed by X-rays, and the reality was newly shattering.
With one word my husband and I became unwitting members of a community whose bonds are not only the natural elations and tribulations of parenthood but also deeply confusing sorrow -- a new understanding of random events, a skewed sense of reality. It never occurred to me, not even in my wildest disaster scenarios, that I would have a child different enough to illicit stares and change the way I think about a trip to the store or a walk on the beach.
My need for information and answers was compulsive. The geneticists gave me two pamphlets: a blue one simply called Achondroplasia and a yellow one entitled My Child Is a Dwarf.
The more I learned, the more my search for order and reason intensified. I called clinics, holistic doctors and the head of a group called Little People of America. None of the information satisfied. It was correct, but wasn't what I wanted to hear. I wanted an elixir that produces long-limbed creatures, a magic cure, a fabulous new technique from an obscure doctor in India. The instinct to make my daughter mine existed in startling juxtaposition to my desire to put her back where she came from and start again.
Doctors reminded me that she was, after all, a baby pure and simple -- in need of attention, diaper changes and love. Our baby girl was indeed a good feeder, a terrific sleeper. Her skin was unblemished and she was a rosy, contented bundle. Gradually I began to relax and realized that it's impossible with any child to predict things like how tall, smart, pretty, well-liked or successful she will be.
Achondroplasia, a disorder that prevents the proper growth of cartilage, is the product of an accident, a spontaneous genetic mutation that produces a shortening of all long bones. So her arms and legs are short, her head is big and her torso average for a person her age. Intelligence is not affected: a huge relief.
One of about 250 syndromes causing short stature (women are an average of 4 feet 2 inches as adults), achondroplasia is the most common, though still rare at about 1 in 26,000 births. Eighty-five percent of children with achondroplasia are born, with no heredity involved, to parents of average height; the other 15 percent are the children of achondroplastics. As hard as it is to believe six-foot parents can have a child who will look 4 years old when she's 12, here we are.
About six months prior to my daughter's birth, doctors discovered the gene that causes achondroplasia. Achondroplasia and some other forms of dwarfism can now be detected in amniocentesis. But since those conditions are so rare and there are no heredity indicators, doctors don't routinely test for them. For dwarfs themselves, however, it is a different story: an achondroplastic dwarf carries this dominant genetic anomaly, and if his or her mate is also a dwarf, the baby has a 1 in 4 chance of a double dose, which means the baby will die. Early detection in amniocentesis could screen out these fetuses.
The inevitable question is, Why us? There are no satisfactory answers to cosmic accidents. Then there are logistical questions: how do we refer to her condition? Well, she is, to be politically correct, a little person. I reject the word special. All my children are special; this one is just a different, more complicated kind of special.
My young boys, 5 and 7, remain oblivious to the implications and only vaguely aware of what it means that their pesky little sister is different. Their only real reference is Snow White and those cute little guys they think are called "dorfs." My oldest chimes in now and then: "She's so beautiful. Isn't she?"
My husband began with the blindly optimistic desire, rooted in denial, to fix "the problem": bone lengthening, gene therapy. It wasn't until he accepted the little girl who is our daughter that he was able to simply let her be.
Integrating all of this was hard enough in the privacy of our home, surrounded by family and caring friends. The next hurdle was going out into the world. The first truly bizarre thing I have done since my daughter's birth was to go right up to two little people I didn't know from Adam, introduce my six-foot self as the mother of a dwarf and find myself saturated in awkward silence. The first was an Italian man in an airport whose main concern was a cheap hotel and a packet of filterless cigarettes. The second was a man I saw outside a local inn. This man said, "Right, well, is she healthy?" When I assured him she was and how much we loved her, he said, "Right, well, could you give me a lift to the chiropractor?" Which I did.
THE OBVIOUS LESSON here is that stature is a relatively superficial bond. We all suffer with our dilemmas and afflictions -- some more obvious than others -- and it's pretty loopy to give someone a hitch down the road just because he's little. I have stopped accosting strangers, whatever their height.
Now that she's 2 years old, we are out and about in the world quite a bit. Anywhere but home is an excursion into a troubling, sometimes heartwarming land of possibilities. Early on I learned that the way other people react to a child of difference becomes integral to your experience of the world. I am happy to report that most people genuinely seem to want to say the right thing even if they aren't articulate editors of their own responses.
We're in the vegetable section of the supermarket. An acquaintance politely inquires after everyone. "Is LilyClaire really a dwarf?" her 7-year-old son asks with innocent incredulity. "Yes," I answer. "That's O.K.," he says, undaunted. "It doesn't matter how tall you are if your heart's in the right place." For the 100th time, with tears in my eyes, I wondered how all this happened. I was moved that these parents took the time to teach their son compassion and concern.
Then there was the friend who called, expressing his own opinion: it might be best for you and the community to put her up for adoption. It's hard to describe the way this knocked the wind out of me. For months I couldn't figure out how to respond. Having a baby is not, after all, shoe shopping. Even if we were to consider putting her up for adoption, it would surely be in the privacy of our own home and minds. I was angry -- angry at friends who weren't sympathetic enough, at my own distress over the whole situation.
Perhaps the most important thing about people's reactions is that they take their cues from me: if I'm cheerful and positive, people are delighted to point out all of my daughter's special qualities -- bright eyes, charming smile. They are relieved to see she doesn't have two heads, to see I'm neither fragile nor shattered.
At the beach last summer: I am standing with a woman. We are each bouncing a daughter on our hips, chatting. All the while there is loud debate in my brain: I think I see her staring at my daughter. She has twice asked me her age. I am hopeful she can't tell there's anything different. Then I realize that's ridiculous, of course she sees. Suddenly out pops that old compulsion to tell all. She gets the edited version, the explanation that the terms dwarf and little person are interchangeable, while a midget is a proportionate small person and something different entirely. I explain the haphazard nature of it all, which makes me feel better. "Thank you, I knew it was something," she says, relief in her eyes.
It's like this: Under certain circumstances, not telling can be a withholding, even hostile act. Other times, telling puts an unnecessary burden on people, like pregnant mothers already apprehensive about their unborn. Mostly I go with a spontaneous sense of what's going to make me feel most comfortable with the person at hand.
I can't know how others feel when they come across a child of difference. I can only state the obvious and say that whatever you do, speak out of respect and from the heart. Of course, there is danger in this approach. Like the "friend" who suggested adoption, a person's reaction to difference may reveal more about themselves than they want other people to know.Lisa Abelow Hedley is a lawyer and art-cinema owner who lives in Connecticut.

Vaughan Home Office
Home Office Vaughan: Some tips for the experts to help you start your home office dream.
Here are some tips from the expert designers at California Closets Vaughan for setting up a functional home office in your home.
- First you must select a space that you can dedicate solely to work. If you have the space to dedicate an entire room as your home office - great! If not you might try setting up a desk in the corner of your bedroom or moving furniture around in the den to make room for a desk. If you work from home it is worthwhile dedicating an entire room for your home office so you have somewhere you can close the door and 'leave work' when the day is over.
- Good storage is very important. If you don't have somewhere convenient to store and file everything it's likely it will pile up on your home office desk making it unusable. Desk drawers are great for stationary and other items you use all the time. You should also consider filing cabinets and wall shelves for other items. At California Closets Vaughan we have an amazing range of smart storage solutions at prices that can't be beat.
- It's important that your home office is a fresh and inspiring space to work in. If the space is aesthetically pleasing it will have a direct affect on how productive you are when you are working there. Family photos, pictures, and fresh plants will help make the inspiring and personal to you. If you have a pet at home you might consider setting up a special office bed for them too – so they can keep you company while you work.
- There is no better way to maximize every inch of your home office space then with custom home office storage solutions from California Closets Vaughan. We can custom make a home office to fit any space in your home no matter how small or unconventional - and we can make it to suit any budget.

Within Friday's statement of support, Canada declared:
"In endorsing the Declaration, Canada reaffirms its commitment to build on a positive and productive relationship with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples to improve the well-being of Aboriginal Canadians, based on our shared history, respect, and a desire to move forward together."
Of the four countries, Canada has been one of the most vocal dissenters, taking issue with the Declaration's inclusion of the rights of Indigenous self-determination, land rights, and the need for 'free, prior, and informed consent' before enacting legislation that affects indigenous peoples. Within their statement of support, Canada writes that those concerns are "well known and remain," but that "we are now confident that Canada can interpret the principles expressed in the Declaration in a manner that is consistent with our Constitution and legal framework."
Canada's historic decision, while long overdue, is an important step in continuing nation-to-nation relations between settler-state and Indigenous governments. With now three of the four dissenting nations reversing their stance on the UNDRIP, the US stands alone in refusing to endorse the Declaration. President Obama, the move is yours.
