My pit stick smells like fruity melons. I love it. I smell my armpits too sometimes. :P
But cherry Kool-aid pit stick would actually be really enjoyable, I think. I'd probably just cover my entire body with it and go around smelling like Kool-aid all day.
- 6:31 pm
- John Mutford said...
Hah! "Cherry pits"- you may have stumbled onto a brilliant marketing gimmick there!
- 6:48 pm
- Allison said...
lol...cherry pits.
My isn't nearly as exciting, smells like babypowder.
I've never had Kool-Aid before, but I can imagine it would be a little disconcerting.
- 7:10 pm
- Barbara Bruederlin said...
See Alana, to me it's just disturbing to have my pits smell like food. I can send you my pit stick if you like - barely used!
Marketing! Dang, I always knew I had missed my calling, John!
I can handle the baby powder one, Allison, but yeah the Kool-Aid one just throughs me off.
What? You've never had Kool-Aid? You poor deprived child, you!
- 7:56 pm
- Grumpy Old Bastard said...
I believe it was George Carlin who once noted that bay leaves could be used as a temporary deodorant. It wouldn't keep you from sweating, but you'd smell like soup.
Having one's pits smell like Kool-Aid sounds frightening, but it could be worse. Smelling like Sangria, for example.
Oh, and "cherry pits"...brilliant!
- 8:38 pm
- ~Jen~ said...
i hate foofy grrl smells in my armpits...I buy guy gel pitstick...and smell manly lol
- 9:06 pm
- Becky said...
I think you all drank the kool-aid.
Cherry Pits... oh, that's a bad pun, but who can resist (giggle :D).
I think I'll stick with my 'Aloe and Green Tea' stuff, thanks (although, Green tea is a beverage... I think that deodorant companies are testing out something new with this "you smell like what you drink" thing).
- 9:09 pm
- She's Crafty said...
I am alway concerned that my deodorant isn't working, let alone smelling like Kool-aid!
It may be that I get to chuck around boxes beside a "hot" metal back door. I get box grimme all over me and then all sweaty, dirty and hot I have to go help people on the sales floor. Awk! It's embarassing and I get paranoid. I need a stock person sooo bad.
We're hiring... maybe I should add must smell like cherry Kool-aid!
- 9:33 pm
- mellowlee said...
*giggle snort giggle* cherry pits *more giggling*
- 9:40 pm
- Alana said...
LOL, hardcore, Barbara! Send me the pit stick, I'll just scrape off the top layer, it'll be like brand new right out of the package. :p
- 10:40 pm
- Ben Heller said...
Where else on the world wide web could we find a Canadian lady talking about her cherry pits ?
- 11:58 pm
- kees said...
Hehehehe! Cherry pits, what joy. Like jen I use blokey stuff, can't stand the girl ones. But then my purfume smells like vanilla so I do smell a bit on the girly-foodie side I guess. Barbara you've got a knack for instigating discussions concerning personal grooming habits here...I've revealed details of my toilet paper handling and body odour solutions within a matter of days... :D
- 4:24 am
- Barbara said...
They change the array of scents every six months so if you find a scent you really like buy 6. Next time you go to the store you may not find your fav. See you could not find unscented...
Peach pits would also work as a pun.
- 6:12 am
- Leazwell said...
Keeping in mind Kees' last comment, I'll just say, "Have an odorless day, Barbara."
- 6:14 am
- Barbara Bruederlin said...
See I don't understand Carlin's logic there, GOB. Say you were travelling and you forgot your deodorant, what are the chance that you would be carrying bay leaves in your suitcase instead?
But smelling like Sangria, though ... it would be a party in your armpits all day long.
You smell like what you drink, Becky, now there's a thought. In my case I would probably smell like a nice merlot. (green tea does sound nice though)
Smells like cherry Kool-Aid is definitely something that someone should mention on their resume, Sarah. I mean you shouldn't even have to ask...
That a lot of giggling at a rather bad, albeit unintentional, pun, Mellowlee.
It's been done before, Alana. Get Jen to tell you about some of the stuff her mother sends her. It's mindboggling.
You've got a good point there, Ben, and I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Kees, it's not always like that around here, I promise, you've just caught us during a weird cycle.
Unscented should just be a given though Barbara W, don't you think?
So they really do switch stuff that often, do they? And this is done solely for the purposes of pissing me off?
Thank you Leazwell,(she said as she sniffed her pit), and an odourless day to all of you as well.
- 6:49 am
- Barbara said...
Yes Barbara B. they also do this for all your fav. shampoos and hair gels. I know because we have to redo the section every 6 months with the new planogram. Oh wait I don't have to do that anymore soon.
I won't have to have conversations with the pissed off customers who can't find the shampoo or deodorant they want anymore. :-)
- 7:10 am
- Will said...
I have never heard of such a thing. Bizarre and funny nonetheless.
- 10:31 am
- John Mutford said...
How about one that smells like cigarettes?
Tar pits.
- 10:35 am
- Barbara Bruederlin said...
Yeah, like it's YOUR fault that their fav shampoo is unavailable, Barbara W. I bet you are seriously going to miss those days.
Will, we really must go deodorant shopping together someday. I could show you things that are not dreamt of in your philosophy.
Tar pits! bwaahhhahahaha!!! Who's the marketing genius now, John? Call up DuMaurier right now!
- 1:41 pm
- Grumpy Old Bastard said...
What? You DON'T travel with bay leaves? What if you were miles from home and suddenly minestrone were to break out?
The problem that I have witnessed (as a bystander, mind you) is when these sweet-smelling pit politices begin to fail...they fail in a most heroic fashion. The smell of fruit preserves and unwashed funk is a powerful stench.
Cherry Pits to us all!
- 4:26 pm
- Alana said...
LOL @ tar pits!
- 4:49 pm
- Grumpy Old Bastard said...
Just read several companies are looking into Vanity Scented deodorants:
A beef flavored roll-on: Pit Bull
The same as above, but slow-roasted with alder chips: BBQ Pit
A stick that smells like the front rows of Soundgarden concerts: Mosh Pit
A NASCAR based body wash that smells like burning rubber, spilled gasoline, Low IQ, and testosterone: Pit Stop
A cooling mint and menthol spray with real North Atlantic Ice Floe in every can: Pits 'Berg
There are more I'm sure, but I had to stop after reading about a product named "Cockpit".
I think I need a shower.
- 5:08 pm
- Barbara Bruederlin said...
GOB - sometimes you leave me speechless. This is one of those times.
Fermented armpit fruit could no doubt be turned into a very drinkable beverage over time; it sure does sound a lot like the schnapps my uncle used to make.
My mind has shut down after hearing about "cockpit".
- 6:16 pm
- phlegmfatale said...
3 scented products that baffle me: Deodorant - the point is to have NO smell, innit? Feminine protection products: Ditto. Dishwashing machine detergent - um - if you clean my dishes and everything that I shouldn't be eating comes off them, then there should be no smell, right? Right?
The phlox are lovely!
- 6:52 pm
- Barbara Bruederlin said...
Phlegmmy, you are preaching to the choir here! I think there are way too many smells injected into things which should have no smells.
I like the timing of phlox, just as the garden is looking a bit tired, up they open and everything looks good again.
- 6:59 pm
you should write a poem or a song...."Cherry Kool-Ade Armpis"
- 12:54 pm
- Barbara Bruederlin said...
I've got a better idea, Kelly. I'll give YOU $10 to write one and put it on UTube. Hell make it $15!
- 7:32 pm
- Maureen said...
I LOVE phlox - I have some growing by my front door :)

You have just brought back some great memories. I remember when my Mom would take me to my Aunts farm in the summer to pick blackberries. We than would go to her house and make lots of blackberry cobblers.

Oh, just lovely! Love the pictures too...
Have a beautiful day, take care!

- Deborah ShireGardener said...
I love blackberries and have enjoyed reading this. Our blackberry season is about to get underway, probably in a couple more weeks. My cottage is surrounded by wild blackberry brambles and after the very wet summer the fruits are plentiful and swelling nicely. Something to reward us for the abysmal non~starter of a summer!

The Galaxy S8 and S8+ have pretty good battery life out of the box, but sometimes, you just need some extra juice. For those occasions, you have two options: a portable battery or a battery case. Portable batteries usually offer more power for your money, but they're also rather cumbersome. These battery cases for the S8 and S8+ are just $29.99 apiece, which erases much of the cost issue, and at 5000mAh+, they're pretty beefy as well.
Oftentimes, battery cases you see on Amazon are cheap, but fail in every other way. BrexLink's offerings look well-made, are visually clean, and have fantastic reviews. The Galaxy S8 case's capacity comes in at 5000mAh, with the S8 plus's at 5500mAh. Both have a little LED on the back that indicates how much charge there is. The charging port gets relocated right below the phone's, and is still USB-C, which is handy.
Want one? Just jump over to Amazon via our source links. Shipping is free, with one-day shipping for the S8 case and two-day for the S8+ case for Prime members. This is the lowest we've seen these cases go, so don't miss out.

"Passion can burn out. Instead, actually look at the way you want to spend your days and find the skills that use all of you. The content of what you're doing can change with your changing passion, but you feel fulfilled no matter what." ~Martine Holston
I was honored when Michelle approached me to be interviewed for her podcast, Breaking Free. During our conversation, I told my story as I never have publicly before. To be honest, thinking about sharing it and posting it to Facebook kind of freaks me out because people are about to know A LOT about me.
But one thing I know for sure – we learn from each other's stories. So if by being vulnerable and real about how I got where I am helps even one person, it's worth it.
I'd love to know what you think.
You download the audio on Michelle's website or iTunes.
Here are the introduction and show notes from Michelle:
Martine Holston had a dream job after completing her Master's program with her mentor doing really impactful work in the world.
However, 2 years in this dream job had become an all-consuming monster leaving Martine feeling stressed-out and unhappy.
And worse yet, when she looked at her management chain she knew that their life was nowhere close to her own life goals and dreams.
Even with that, it took Martine another 2 years to get up the courage to leave this job. Partly because she was emotionally attached to the organization, her mentor and the impact of her work.
And partly because she had no idea what else to do.
Martine realized that she needed a new start, but first she had to let go of her old self.
Her old job.
Her old idea of what made her 'successful'.
She started by imagining her ideal day. This is where she discovered that her ideal day looked nothing like her current day.
And even though Martine was excited to move on to something new (which she hadn't even figured out yet!) she knew that there was a letting go and grieving process that needed to happen.
It may seem strange to talk about quitting your job and grieving at the same time. But Martine beautifully explains why this was so important during today's show.
Honestly… I wish I had done this when I left. Because it would have helped me to move on MUCH faster.
Martine's 3-step grieving process that she calls the Fast Track to Grief:
- Think about all the good that has come from this situation (eg: what good has happened in you/to you as a result of this job)
- Acknowledge the bad (eg: what is this job/situation keeping you from?)
- Acknowledge what you will leave unresolved (eg: what are you ok with allowing to remain unfinished or finished by someone else)
If you've ever thought about leaving anything like a job, Martine's simple 3-step process above is so powerful and will allow you to leave with an open heart to embrace what comes next.
Even though I left my job a couple of years ago (January 13, 2012), I went back and did this for my job + a couple of other things and it's helped me tremendously since this interview.
So what is it that you want to leave and grieve? Will you try Martine's 3-step process to see if it helps you?
I'd love to hear back from you firstname.lastname@example.com or comment below!
In This Episode:
- Martine's backstory – how a great student lost her true purpose
- Why ignoring the grieving process will come back to bite you
- Preparing to jump – saving, planning and writing your goodbye email
- Embracing your true nature/true self
- Where she's at today

I felt this today as I helped to organise The Big Lunch at my church - an outdoor feast that was open to all. It turns out that the folks at my church used to do this kind of thing all the time, but somehow lost momentum in recent years and forgot how great it was. It was nice to bring it back round to their consciousness, and to reignite the excitement for reaching out to the community just simply by organising a meal - and quite the meal it was too! It's all come back round again, and people are remembering what a joy it was to do it in the past, with hope for the future.
And maybe all these circular thoughts have broken free from the abstract realm of my brain, and traveled all the way through my fingertips into my most recent doodle:
I really like the effect that this zoodle has, and the colour combinations. It'll be a quite a while before I part from this one.
It's been a good day with good weather, good food and good people. I think I've had some good thoughts too. They were a little abstract, yes, but you know, it just means I'm in that 3/4 section of a circle where things don't always make sense, but I know that moment of clarity will hit soon, and then everything will be comfortable in my head again. So everything is good :) Hoorah for a lovely day, and hoorah for another lovely doodle.

1. The BS: Shapewear will only roll down when you wear the wrong size.
The Truth: Ha! Shapewear rolls down because of Newton's Law of Gravity. We've tested every high-waist brand of shapewear on the market. It didn't matter if it was too big, too small or just the right size, it all rolled down – no exceptions. HookedUp Shapewear defies gravity by hooking to your favorite bra, making it impossible to roll down. Sorry Isaac…we win!
2. The BS: Bodysuits are the perfect shapewear solution.
The Truth: Get Real! Unfortunately bodysuits are made with matching cup and body sizes – small bodysuits have small cups – large bodysuits have large cups. Are manufacturers forgetting that women don't always have perfectly proportioned bodies? What about the women who have small breasts and a larger mid-section or vice versa?? HookedUp Shapewear customizes to YOUR body – just pick your perfect HookedUp style and size and pair it with your favorite bra and you'll have the perfect fit every time.
3. The BS: Open Bust styles allow you wear your own bra.
The Truth: OMG…this style is the worst! Because it goes "around" your breasts it digs into the skin between the breast and underarm causing chafing and redness. It even gave me a blister! It layers, it's hot, it's constricting, and makes you feel like you're wearing two bras. Give me a break! With HookedUp Shapewear there are no layers, no extra straps, just a concealed, comfy, perfect fit, and isn't that the point?
4. The BS: Multiple strap connectors will prevent shapewear from rolling down.
The Truth: This one is my favorite myth and requires nothing more than a photograph to prove how ridiculous it is. Here is how this style looks on a real body (size 6). Enough said….
5. The BS: Shapewear is uncomfortable because it's tight.
The Truth: Shapewear is ONLY uncomfortable when it rolls down, digs in and pinches your skin. Period. Getting HookedUp and eliminating these problems allows you to experience shapewear the way it was meant to be - a smoothing, shaping miracle that will give you confidence in anything you wear!

It's cheesy. It's campy. It's kitsch. Love it or hate it, it's Hindi cinema.
Or not.
Pour yourself a drink, set your preconceptions about Bollywood aside and take a look at Dev D by Anurag Kashyap, Kaminey by Vishal Bhardwaj, and Love Sex aur Dhoka (LSD) by Dibakar Bannerjee.
All three directors have pushed the boundaries of Bollywood film with a new kind of Hindi movie that serves up nonlinear narratives, racy contemporary dialog, pulsating music, and avant-garde cinematography (taken to a gutsy extreme by Bannerjee in LSD, India's first digital film.)
But most of all, these films give us an honest representations of female sexuality. Not a coy cut to flowers when the hero leans forward to kiss the dusky damsel he's surreptitiously courting. And not the to-be-expected liberated sex drives of urbane global Indians who are as comfortable in Paris as they are in Mumbai. Instead, there are scenes that convey the real life sexual behavior of… real life people. Like the scene in Dev D where a middle-class girl in traditional rural Punjab cycles into a field with a mattress on her head for a tryst with her lover.
Kudos to these male directors for their radical treatment of female sexuality – real, gritty, non-exotic, non-Kama sutra. Vishal Bhardwaj, Dibakar Banerjee and Anurag Kashyap are at the forefront of a new wave of filmmakers reshaping popular Hindi cinema. Trailblazing (Dev D), Tarantino-esque (Kaminey) and Bold (LSD) – be warned, this is not your Mama's Bollywood.
Catch Dev D and Kaminey on Netflix and grab LSD at your local Indian movie store. (See trailers below)
If you're in New York September 18- 22 you can get a real taste of the cinematic genius of these three directors at the I-VIEW 2010 FILM Festival where Vishal Bhardwaj (the Bard of India) will be present at the screening of his films, Maqbool and Ishquia, Love, Sex Aur Dhoka shows as a festival centerpiece and Anurag Kashyap plays a lead in the festival opening film, "I AM."

Masked malware, VM and Linux attacks coming in 2006
IT pros beware! 2006 will bring cloaked malware attacks, the demise of black-list security, a barrage of application attacks and more hacks of Linux and open source software, says security expert Dennis Moreau. He predicts the top IT security threats in 2006, recalls 2005's most important IT security developments, compares Linux and Windows security and lists his favorite open source security tools.
Stardate 2006. The enterprise will be attacked by virtual malware and machine marauders that cloak themselves like a Klingon Birds-of-Prey. They'll go where they've rarely gone before, targeting Linux and open source applications, says IT security expert Dennis Moreau, CTO of Configuresoft Inc. So, raise your shields and arm your machines with open source weapons.
In this interview, Moreau predicts the top IT security threats in 2006, opines on 2005's most important IT security developments, compares Linux and Windows security and lists his favorite open source security tools.
What new IT security threats will emerge in 2006?
Dennis Moreau: Attacks will begin to exploit address translation subversion in order to hide from scanners. Attacks will also begin to exploit current weaknesses in virtual machine technology. These approaches will challenge both configuration lockdown and current trusted computing technologies.
Fortunately, new processor features will be introduced to help address this issue.
Do you think that hackers will target Linux and open source apps more in 2006 than they have in the past?
Moreau: A recognized hacker trend is that hackers are beginning to attack application (rather than operating system) vulnerabilities and are beginning to attempt to hide exploit network traffic in legitimate application traffic.
We are also seeing a growing adoption of Linux as a corporate/federal application platform.
Taken together, these trends do seem to indicate that Linux and open source applications will increasingly be a target of exploit attempts.
What were the big security stories in 2005?
Moreau: They were the growing unwieldiness and eventual inadequacy of black list-centric detection strategies: Most current antivirus, intrusion-detection, intrusion-prevention, vulnerability-assessment and patching technologies depend on having signatures -- descriptions of the technical footprint -- of attacks, viruses and vulnerabilities. These lists are known as 'blacklists' because they are used to recognize 'bad' phenomena.
Then, there was the demonstrated plausibility of effectively hiding malicious code by controlling address translation (e.g., ShadowWalker).
Finally, there was the weakening SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) by 11 binary orders of magnitude on the heels of a previous weakening of MD5, due to related differential cryptographic approaches. Since these approaches yielded lowered upper bounds on hash collisions, doubts have been raised about what future analyses will reveal. Some concern has been raised concerning SHA-256, as well. Secure hashing is a foundational technology of trusted computing techniques.
Could you explain why blacklists aren't working so well?
Moreau: The explosion in the number of vulnerability targets, the number of different kinds of exploits and the emergence of polymorphic techniques have driven the size of these lists and their rates of evolution upward.
A recent response to this has been the introduction of heuristic techniques that can learn and recognize good and normal behavior without signatures. Unfortunately, these approaches have a high false-positive rate, inadvertently blocking legitimate, sometimes mission-critical, behavior.
For even current exploit technologies -- technologies for which we have effective single-system defenses -- our enterprise defense strategies have been forced to evolve to just keep up with exploit volume, exploit adaptation and the over-riding need to conduct business in the face of growing threats. Keeping up will continue to be challenging.
What's going on with malicious code cloaking?
Moreau: At this year's DEFCON [a hackers' conference] hackers presented a new approach to hiding malware by directly controlling memory references.
The problem is that once a system or application was infected with this kind of exploit, the hidden malware would be impossible to detect with existing scanning techniques because memory references from the scanning software would be presumably mapped around the malware code. If you can't scan the code, the signature, however accurate, is useless. Truly scary!
What threats emerged in 2005 that will grow more dangerous in 2006?
Moreau: More attacks will exploit application vulnerabilities. More attacks will hide in legitimate network traffic, making detection, prevention and mitigation more difficult. Also, more attacks will exploit kernel vulnerabilities.
Do hackers target Microsoft products most often simply because it has the largest user base?
Moreau: The very large number of Windows developers steeped in intimate internals has represented a large exploitable knowledge base. Also, the large degree of commercial penetration of the commercial IT infrastructure makes Windows a particularly attractive target.
The requirement for deep legacy compatibility over a large surface area (lots of APIs) has limited how far-reaching and how fast-paced Microsoft's hardening and application security efforts could be. The very large number of commercially significant applications that are tied to legacy platform configurations will present an ongoing security issue for the enterprise.
From your experience, how does Linux stack up against Windows in security robustness and built-in security features?
Moreau: Linux has integral log forwarding. Linux has a smaller amount of legacy exposure to carry forward. A broad spectrum of strong OSS security capabilities exist at the system level, although these are not necessarily built in. Commercial variants are often more capable.
At enterprise scale, however, commercial security solutions and not open source dominate the market. This may represent a cultural problem for Linux-centric open source efforts addressing large-scale IT environments.
Many aspects of Regulatory Compliance automation -- such as ITIL, COSO, CoBit process automation, CMDBs;configuration management databases; availability/fault management -- have no OSS solutions adequate to address enterprise-scale IT environments.
Microsoft's Software Assurance licensing increasingly includes technologies aimed at meeting these enterprise needs at scale.
Which open source security tools should all admins have in their security toolboxes?
Moreau: For comprehensive host-based firewall capabilities: IPTables, Dante and IPFilter. Snort provides strong network intrusion detection capabilities. TCPdump and ethereal are network sniffers. For automated vulnerability assessment, there are Nmap and Nessus. Firewalk checks firewall rules consistency. CIS Benchmarks is right for security configuration scoring. NIST XCCDF leverages authoritative security checklists at the platform independent level. The Mitre OVAL reference assessment tool leverages authoritative security checklists at the system-specific level. Last, but not least, Bastille Linux is the OS hardening tool.
In addition to security features within Linux, these tools can be directly mapped to CoBit compliance control objectives and ISO17799 best practices and represent 'should haves'.

I'm back again with another summery look... well let's face it, the British summer never lasts long, so why not get the most out of your crop tops and skirts before it's too late? I absolutely love bold patterns, but sometimes they can be super hard to style, because what really goes with something that has 3 different colours in it? My go-to is either black, white or grey! My new bodycon skirt from Fshion.Me is so flattering and perfect for nights out, plus I totally love how these kind of skirts pull you in at the waist, excentuating your curves and all of your best bits!
Lace Up Sandals, Primark (similar)
I Styled it with this pretty suede crop top from Dress Link & my go-to sandals from Primark, which are surprisingly the comfiest pair I own! My ideal Saturday night outfits are comfortable yet figure-hugging, mixing bold patterns with quirky textures.
What are your ideal night out looks? Let me know in the comments below!

A photo snapped at the precise second can capture a moment in time that can never be repeated. That one special shot, that single photograph, can have everlasting impacts. They can be good or bad. Rally a nation or sink a nation. Unfortunately for Michael Bloomberg's rabidly anti-gun group Moms Demand Action, one picture is worth a thousand words but two pictures is much worse says Young Cons.
Take for example the recent MDA protest and their photo they posted on their Facebook account. Taken only a half-mile from the NRA convention that MDA was protesting, the group of "hundreds" of MDA supporters took a massive group photo claiming that hundreds of moms and dads joined the protest .
Fortunately for super sleuth Bob Owens from Bearing Arms, he showed the world what kind of lying and conniving frauds Moms Demand Action can be.
Bob writes:
Moms Demand attempted to keep the time and location of their protest very hushed up, in an almost paranoid bid to keep the thousands of NRA attendees from coming down to view them as a curiosity.
Yep. That must be it. It was so hushed up that the hundreds of protesters who were supposed to show up, well, they didn't know about it.

One of my favourite things about living in the Whistler area is the fact that it only takes about 20 minutes drive to get away from the crowds. Don't get me wrong, Whistler is awesome. It's a lot of fun with an incredible amount of things to do in some of the best scenery around but lets not kid ourselves, it can get crowded. That's where a short sneaky drive north comes in handy.
A couple of weeks ago we headed into the Duffey Lake area and we were planning to do a bit of a hike and a scramble and then chill out for the night. There was an old decommissioned road which, fortunately for us, we could drive a decent way up.
This cut our hiking time down considerably which was good news as it meant we could justify carrying in a couple of extra beers! Crucial! The views were amazing from the get go!
It also meant we had a bit of extra time to scramble up some scree and see some pretty stunning views high about the lake!
It was steep and possibly a little sketchy…
It was incredible being in such isolated and enormous terrain.
During the course of our scramble we dislodged a rock or two and it was impressive and somewhat intimidating to see the path they took down the hill. Definitely a no fall zone!
Scoping out the terrain, I cannot wait to get back here in the winter. Some excellent skiing to be had, that is for sure!
We had a mixture of weather as well. Three seasons that day at least. We had a nice little downpour during dinner. Gave us a good excuse to have some drinks and then in the early hours of the morning the skies cleared which was perfect!
An awesome overnight trip!

Since Nov. 2016, our enrollment has grown – we now have 1,100 students (an average of 4 classrooms per year) more than we did just ten years ago. Our schools are filled to the brim: current 2017-2018 enrollment is 3,209 while building design capacity is 2,975 and we are projected to continue to grow! If the referendum is approved, we would construct a new high school for grades 9-12 on district-owned 155-acre site south of the existing middle school, and reconfigure Prairie Elementary, the middle school and the current high school, spreading grades K-8 across the buildings to provide appropriate instructional and program space at all grade levels.
The current referendum proposal is stream-lined and cost-effective. The stadium and other athletic fields have been removed. Classroom and core space reconfigurations and changes will be handled by the district without impacting the referendum. This referendum is for $10 million less than the 2016 referendum.
Like many organizations, necessity is the mother of invention. As enrollment has grown, and spaces filled up, school administrators and staff have found many creative ways to continue to provide a high-quality education for students. Especially at Prairie Elementary School, where increased enrollment impacts are the greatest, we've done everything we can to use every available nook and cranny for educational space, keeping class sizes as close to best practices as possible. However, some class sizes are creeping up, and common spaces, such as cafeterias, hallways, gyms, and restrooms can't be expanded – the pinch there is the greatest.
Here are some examples of some of the accommodations that have been made since 2008, when the first additions were made to the middle school:
Many other accommodations have been made. Click here for a comprehensive list.
To address space inadequacies at every level. The high school is actually in very good condition. It will be repurposed as a middle school so students can take advantage of better science labs and other facilities. The new high school, which would be located on district-owned farm land on the west side of Worthington, will provide an up-to-date 21st century learning environment for students. And the site offers great potential of outdoor classroom and activity space.
West Learning Center, and West Elementary School before it, has served Worthington area residents well since Dwight Eisenhower was President in 1956. As community needs evolved, it, like most school buildings, underwent additions, updates and renovations. When Prairie Elementary was opened in 2001, the building was earmarked for decommissioning due to structural and other long-term maintenance deficiencies, but because the district has consistently had need for the space, and since West continued to be safe for students, the district chose to save money by continuing to use West Learning Center and not leasing or building new space. Now, however, the time has come for it to be closed. Staff and students have done a marvelous job over time making use of a building with many deficiencies work, but maintenance costs continue to be an issue and there are operational interruptions due to repairs.

Long before the current school board and administration, the building was earmarked for decommissioning due to structural and other long-term maintenance deficiencies, but because the district has consistently had need for the space, and since West continued to be safe for students, the district chose to save money by continuing to use West Learning Center and not leasing or building new space.

Yes, we will in the future, but at this time we are focused on academic needs. This referendum does not ask you to pay for activities fields – we are intending to use district fund balance if and when those funds are available, and not increase taxes.
Yes, we served more students in the 1970s (3,643 in 1972 vs. 3,209 today). However, two significant factors explain why today's building capacity is less: different buildings and educational mandates.
Different buildings served the Worthington district in 1972. Enrollment included Lakeview School (Crippled Children's School operated by CCSI). This also was the first year of consolidation with Bigelow (86 students), Reading (76 students) and Rushmore (106 students) of which the district continued to operate those elementary buildings for a few years after consolidation. The district also operated the Worthington middle and high schools, and West and Central elementary schools.
Educational mandates and practices have changed how we use space so we can no longer serve as many students in the same space. In the 1970s, two major mandates were adopted by the federal government forever changing who public schools serve and how. They are the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA – 1975) which created special education and Title IX (1972), which requires public schools to provide equal opportunities for male and female students.
In the case of special education, in 1975, the district was educating a small handful of students with special needs. Today, Worthington Schools educates 487 students with special needs. Their needs vary greatly, as do their needs for space. Some students participate in regular classes, needing occasional extra teacher help. Others require one-on-one instruction during a portion of the day, still others require one-on-one instruction all day.
To accommodate Title IX requirements, schools added locker rooms for female students, and significantly increased the amount of programming (and space needed) to offer opportunities for female students.
The district and community facility committee explored many options to address the capacity needs, evaluating benefits, drawbacks, long-term viability, and cost. One of the options explored was to add on to the existing facilities to create enough space for both current and future enrollment growth. After studying a variety of options, the community facility committee chose the most cost effective option and long-term option that does not compromise the current sites or create additional complications.
The buildings' core spaces, such as cafeteria, kitchen, hallways, locker areas, mechanical spaces, etc. are not designed to handle more students even if the buildings had additions built for more classroom space. To create enough space for both current and projected enrollment, these spaces would have to be expanded as well, which is challenging and often requires more expensive remodeling/addition.
While additions at any of the buildings would reduce green space and demand more parking/stormwater management, the high school site is already inadequate in size. The Minnesota Department of Education would recommend 45-50 acres for the school's current enrollment, but the site is only 25.5 acres. The site lacks green space and adequate parking / bus management currently and expanding the building to add student classroom and core space capacity would multiply these problems.
There are a number of factors that cause an increase or decrease, but the biggest factor is change in property tax classification (for example, changing from homestead to non-homestead). The value of your property also impacts how much you pay in taxes. And, yes, county, city, township, and school taxes will vary. In 2018, school property taxes will increase by approximately 3.39 percent. Over the past nine years school property taxes have averaged a 1.62 percent increase. Click here for more information.
The Ag2School Tax Credit is one of the more notable outcomes of the recently completed 2017 special legislative session and creates a fairer state share of school facility costs by targeting property tax relief to farm property for taxes paid on school bonds. The 40 percent bond credit, known, as Ag2School will take effect with property taxes certified in December of 2017 and payable in calendar year 2018. Impacted property includes all class 2a (homestead and non-homestead ag land), 2b (rural vacant land) and 2c (managed forest land) property except the dwelling value (house, garage and one acre) of the property. Impacted property owners will see the reduction in the upper right-hand corner of their Truth-in-Taxation notices. The Ag2School credit applies to all current and future general obligation debt payments including this upcoming voter approved bond request. The impact on an acre of non-homestead agricultural land valued at $7,000 is estimated to be $7.05. Without the Ag2School credit this school building bond request would have been $11.75 per acre – so that is a savings to ag landowners of $4.70 an acre.

Not easily. The Minnesota Rural Education Association (MREA), representing 225 Minnesota school districts at the capitol, the Minnesota School Boards Association (MSBA), representing all 331 Minnesota school districts, State Representative Joe Schomacker, and State Senator Bill Weber, believe the AG2Schools bond credit is here to stay. It is permanent law, existing into perpetuity. Repealing or reducing the credit would mean a vote for raising taxes on the backs of rural Minnesota farmers, which is not politically appealing.

We hired a specialist because it is the school district's responsibility to inform the public about the facts of the referendum. We know we need to do better with communications, but we don't have dedicated communications staff, so we don't have the time to provide effective communications about this complicated topic. A communications specialist costs us less because we don't have to hire a full-time ongoing staff position, and we also benefit from their previous referendum communications expertise. This saves the school district money while more effectively communicating about the referendum.
Absolutely. We commissioned a survey in February 2017, to learn more about the community's objections to the 2016 proposal. We held focus group meetings and other public meetings (including approximately 300 community members who attended 9 meetings) to solicit community input on what the next proposal would be. Community members asked to have numerous options evaluated. We asked our architects, Wold Architects and Engineers, a highly respected school architectural firm, to provide us with cost estimates on every imaginable, realistic alternative, and then explored the benefits of each. The result is a different proposal than in 2016. This request is for a project that costs over $10 million less. It does not include a stadium or athletic fields and other expenses that the community objected to. Read more.
Although preliminary, the current timelines and schedules show completion of the new high school facility in fall of 2021. This would enable major grade shifts to occur which would in-turn provide appropriate space at all grades throughout the District.
Plan B: In the short-term, the district would continue to make adjustments that began as long ago as 2008 to adjust to growing enrollment. We've added on to schools, increased some class sizes, repurposed spaces (some less than ideal) for classrooms, and altered student schedules, among many others. During the next two school years, we would continue to increase class or section sizes at all levels.
In the long-term, the district would turn our traditional model of education services on its head by changing student schedules and implementing year-round school. We would implement year-round school starting at the elementary in 2020-2021, then middle school, then high school (this would take a year of planning, explanation and addressing potential barriers).
There are serious drawbacks to these plans, especially in the long-term. However, changing the schedule allows us to fit more students in by utilizing all of our space all day long. Yet this still does nothing to address cramped common spaces like hallways, the cafeteria, gyms, etc.
This type of plan will have a cost impact due to the need to hire more employees, increase transportation, and other operational impacts that have not been determined yet. Likewise, it will impact families and the community on different levels. One example would be daycare.
Ultimately, the school board does not believe this is the best direction for the district, but felt they needed to address the space issue in the next 3 years in order to accommodate the future enrollment in the district as projected.

A new building for the ALC (Area Learning Center) and gymnastics program was approved by the school board to be constructed on property where the new high school would be constructed if the referendum is approved. In 2018, the school district will pay for the cost of bond repayment. In 2019 through the bond term, the community will pay for bond repayment in the form of a lease levy.
The school board initially wanted to use fund balance for the project, but the Minnesota Department of Education would not allow us to do that. We had hoped to fund construction with fund balance in order to avoid collecting additional property taxes.
The current ALC is located at West Learning Center, which will be closed soon. We lease space for the very popular gymnastics program (state tournament competitors for each of the last three years) in the Armory, which the owners plan to sell or find other uses for. A new facility was needed immediately.
No, there are no plans yet. Only preliminary concepts and parameters have been developed to be able to establish a budget for facility needs. This includes square footages, numbers of rooms, quality of building systems, etc. as defined by the planning efforts. The school has not been designed yet, so there is no picture to see. Just as it was important to involve the many users during the planning efforts, it is equally important that many people be involved in the design of the project. Once the referendum is successful, Design Planning Groups will be established including community members, teachers, staff, and even students to work with the architects in developing the design of the school to make sure if reflects the values of the Community.
No - the school will not be a palace. The district is responsible for establishing the quality levels for construction of school buildings including materials, mechanical and electrical systems and finishes. The cost estimates are based on these parameters, and the buildings will use these criteria as a guideline for design. The buildings will reflect current educational needs and quality materials to meet the needs of our community without being "over designed."
Comparisons include all schools from the Big South Athletic Conference as enrollment, number of facilities, program offerings, and student demographics are similar to Worthington Public Schools. That said, Worthington's enrollment is still the highest of the Big South. Neighboring districts are facing a different situation than Worthington Public Schools including older facilities and small enrollments (most are a tenth of the size of Worthington) that are stable or declining. They do not have a need for additional bonding while Worthington's enrollment continues to grow putting a strain on existing facilities. Of the neighboring districts, the closest in size to Worthington is more than 2,200 students smaller.
Why was the Central Elementary torn down when the facility was fine?
This facility was demolished due to the major infrastructure deficiencies of the facility such as sewer, water, electrical, heating and cooling, etc. The overall structure was strong, but other important elements were in need of replacement. In addition, the facility had continued water issues within the lower level that created an environmental issue such as mold that would have continued to be an unacceptable condition without major renovation costs. The cost to address all these elements did not warrant the facility's continued use and a plan was developed for replacement versus remodeling.
The land was purchased to define a place where a new facility would be constructed in the future as was done prior to Prairie Elementary School's construction. The board received feedback from many individuals that they would like to know the location of a future facility prior to the election. The board made the decision to move forward with a purchase of property after reviewing a total of ten locations within the area of Worthington. The final selection was determined to be on the west edge of Worthington.
The school board chose to add on to the high school based on current and future needs for both the high school and middle school. The numbers of students in music programs has grown as enrollment has grown. Our high school band classes, for example, had 65 students in 2006, and this year there are 175 students. The space added on to the current high school would serve either schools appropriately since the needs and the number of participants are similar in the music programs at both age levels. Likewise, the classroom space would have been needed in either grade level design and would have been a part of a referendum question if not already completed.
Suburbans and mini-vans are used to transport special needs students to their educational programs for all age levels that need this service. Transportation regulations have changed and the district is no longer able to utilize large vans for transportation without major modifications to meet the required specifications. Upon, recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Transportation inspectors, the district has started to move to Suburbans versus the large vans. The district can continue to utilize mini-vans, but at times, we need more capacity than what they offer.

How would the cost of the referendum be distributed among residents, businesses and farmers?
Because of the Ag2Schools property tax credit, the distribution of the referendum, as well as all other school bond debt, is more even than in the past.
Residences – 20%
Agricultural – 30%
State of MN (pays for tax credit) – 20%
Commercial – 17%
Other sources – 13%
Click here for a detailed spreadsheet
The school board approved the use of approximately $2.3 million in general fund dollars to construct the bus building. No tax increase was necessary to pay for the building.
The school board approved the use of approximately $6.3 million general fund dollars for the high school addition. No tax increase was necessary.
A multi-purpose facility, which would potentially include a county library and Community Education programming that includes Early Childhood and Adult Basic Education along with the Nobles County Integration Collaborative, is proposed. This project is still in development, so a total cost and tax impact are not known, but the school district, city and county are committed to keeping the tax impact low. A mix of funding from each of the partners, including bonding and general fund dollars is proposed.
Approximately 60+ years, but of course that depends on repairs and upkeep over that time period. Some buildings last longer than others and can depend on many variables such as the type of construction. Predicting approximately how long before the district will need to build another school building is difficult because it depends on the growth of the community and enrollment growth. The 2018 referendum proposal will take us well into the future. The good news: as the community grows, so does the tax base, spreading infrastructure investment, including roads, sewer, water and schools, across more people and businesses.
How much will the district actually pay for the communication consultant to help with the referendum? $29,000.

Mayor Asks Counterparts to Support Guard, Reserve
By Samantha L. Quigley
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26, 2008 - The mayor of Anchorage, Alaska, has asked his fellow mayors around the nation to publicly declare their support for their military employees.
"Today, more than ever, we must do everything we can to support our employees who are also serving our nation through the Guard and reserve," Mayor Mark Begich said. "It is incumbent on every employer to give all the support possible to these brave servicemen and women.
"That's why I have reached out to my fellow mayors and asked them to join me in signing an [Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve] Statement of Support," he added.
ESGR, a Defense Department organization, works to promote understanding between employers and their military employees. It provides volunteers who offer mediation and education services to employers, Guard and reserve members and their families regarding the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act.
"When mayors sign a Statement of Support, they recognize National Guard and reserve as essential to the strength of our nation and the well-being of their communities," Begich said in his letter to more than 1,300 members of the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
A statement of support pledges to:
-- Fully recognize, honor and enforce USERRA;
-- Provide managers and supervisors with the tools they need to effectively manage employees who serve in the National Guard and reserves; and
-- Continually recognize and support the country's servicemembers and their families in peace, in crises and in war.
The Anchorage mayor also heads the Conference of Mayors' Military and Community Relations Task Force. Through this task force, he hopes some of Anchorage's best practices can assist other mayors in improving their respective cities' interactions with the military, said C.W. Floyd, Begich's military and veterans liaison.
Begich has long understood the importance of his military employees, Floyd said. In fact, more than 12,000 servicemembers stationed in Anchorage have recognized the city as a "benchmark city" for its support of their missions, he said.
"Mayor Begich realizes the integral role the Guard and reserve plays in our nation's defense. That has never been clearer than during the current global conflicts," Floyd said. "These servicemen and women cannot effectively carry out their military role if they're worried that they will lose their civilian job as a result of their service.
"Employers must do everything possible to eliminate this concern," he added.
Anchorage has about 70 to 75 employees that have been deployed, many for extended periods of time, Floyd said.
"The loss of a valued employee is always a concern, even on a temporary basis," he explained. "Overall, the impact has been minimal, but the mayor is committed to doing whatever we have to during this difficult time."
Anchorage's efforts aren't lost on ESGR, said Jim Rebholz, its national chairman, who acknowledged that often the city employees who are activated to military duty are first responders.
"The courage it took for him and the leadership it took for him, to stand up in front of his organization and say, 'This is the right thing to do,' really makes that guy twice the patriot in my view," Rebholz said. "As much as it seems like a challenge to some of us who are outside of governance I think ... the [positive] response should be overwhelming."
The effects of this challenge promise to be long-lasting and far-reaching, Rebholz said. He predicted a ripple effect that starts with mayors and works its way through other employers throughout the cities.
"This is the right thing to do, and it's the right time to do it," Rebholz said. "Today, supportive employers are critical to maintaining the strength and readiness of the nation's National Guard and reserve units."
ESGR is a supporter of America Supports You, a Defense Department program connecting citizens and companies with servicemembers and their families serving at home and abroad.

'Top Chef' Does Hot Dogs Tonight
On tonight's Top Chef, the aspiring top toques have to cook hot dogs. The show sprung a surprise on the contestants by bringing in one of New York's premiere hot dog cart purveyors, Angelina D'Angelo, to show them how it's done.
I'm proud to see Angelina, because I wrote about her in my New York Times hot dog round-up in 2005. I love the idea of Angelina appearing on the show, but I have no clue why they chose Donatella Arpaia as the guest judge. Donatella's a really good restaurateur whom I know reasonably well, but my guess is she knows squat about hot dogs.
If you want to try one of Angelina D'Angelo's hot dogs head to Dominick's on Woodhaven Boulevard and 65th Road in Rego Park, Queens (map). She's usually there on weekdays after 11 a.m.
A preview of the episode, after the jump.

July 4, 2017
FinTech startups have revolutionized the financial service industry with their niche ideas and tech-savvy innovations. If the idea can bring something new to the industry, there is a real chance of success, and London-based FinTech group FriendlyScore typifies everything right about how to grow your startup. Having been ranked first by WebSummit in 2017 for most exciting FinTech startup, and winning the FIBIC ISID award, there is a reason to feel positive about future prospects for the business.
In this modern era of finance, it is not enough to use traditional credit scoring techniques for loan approvals, especially in emerging markets. Given the array of data out there, there is no excuse for having 'too little information' to prevent viable loan applicants from obtaining credit. FriendlyScore has the answer; a SaaS B2B solution that analyzes Big Data (social media, bank transaction data, and mobile data) to assess borrower risk and default probability, a process known as Big Data credit scoring. The company's algorithms also have the capability to improve fraud detection and clients can expect optimal ID verification. Such innovation is welcomed in times of growing cybersecurity concerns and this makes the product a real selling point to established clients in developed markets.
Founded in 2014, the prototype showed great promise and was accepted into the Startupbootcamp FinTech accelerator. The business now has an elegant set of products to sell to clients varying from SaaS for microlenders to white label and enterprise services for larger, established lenders.
FriendlyScore has been quick to identify areas in developed and emerging markets that will reap the most reward. Their biggest market is currently India where 21% of the world's unbanked reside. Bajaj Finserv and Reliance Capital, businesses in India have bought into the idea in addition to other clients based in Africa, LATAM, Europe and Eastern Europe.
To complement a marketable idea, the business strategy must be sustainable and promote the idea well. FriendlyScore's business development strategy focuses on different channels and communication strategies in each product realizing that their target customers (SaaS and Key Account Customers) require different approaches to reach. They have shown that businesses should never underestimate the opportunities to attend industry conferences. FriendlyScore has participated in major conferences such as Money 20/20, MoneyConf and FinSum Asia to capture Key Account customers. There is a good team ethos and all members are aware of sale and marketing strategies required to bring in clients of all sizes.
Individual credit scoring is just the start for FriendlyScore and their concept can be used in many different industries for different purposes. In the near future, we could see FriendlyScore's products used in lending to SMEs, assessing riskiness for consumers of car insurance and even operating in the rental market! Cash inflows are expected to soar whilst costs will increase at a more modest rate signaling real take off for the aspiring FinTech company. In the immediate future, we can expect to see FriendlyScore bringing in more clients and closing deals with some major financial institutions.

Undergraduate students can begin graduate work during their senior year through three of Sarah Lawrence College's unique graduate programs. In addition, students can earn a special combined 3-2 degree program in engineering with Columbia University. This allows students to leave the College with two degrees after five years.
Five-Year Programs
The Art of Teaching: BA & MSEd
Sarah Lawrence's Art of Teaching graduate program gives students a solid philosophical framework and a strong background in current thinking about educational theory and practice, as well as extensive opportunities for classroom research and experience. The program:
- Provides the tools for teachers to articulate and demonstrate a clearly defined, child-centered, and culturally sensitive approach to education for use in classrooms and schools
- Prepares graduates to become strong leaders and agents of change in the complex and highly demanding profession of early childhood and elementary classroom teaching
- Gives students access to resources such as the Early Childhood Center, a laboratory school on the Sarah Lawrence campus, and the Child Development Institute, which offers lectures, conferences, and outreach programs
- Offers three New York State certification tracks—Early Childhood, Childhood, or both Early Childhood and Childhood Education—each of which leads to a Master of Science in Education degree
To learn more, visit the Art of Teaching website or e-mail Denisha Jones, program director.
Child Development: BA & MA
Sarah Lawrence's Child Development graduate program explores the life of the child as the interaction of intellectual, emotional, social, and imaginative streams. Combining the in-depth study of primary theoretical perspectives with practical fieldwork, the program:
- Encourages students to study children in a wide range of social contexts and environments—among members of their family, peer group, and culture; and within their homes, schools, and neighborhoods
- Prepares graduates for direct work with children in various settings, for teaching child development at an intermediate level, or for pursuing doctoral study in psychology and related fields
- Gives students access to resources such as the Early Childhood Center, a laboratory school on campus, and the Child Development Institute, which offers lectures, conferences, and outreach programs
- Results in a Master of Arts degree
To learn more, visit the Child Development website or e-mail Barbara Schecter, program director.
Women's History: BA & MA
Sarah Lawrence College was the first to offer a graduate degree in Women's History. The Women's History program:
- Introduces students to the rapidly expanding literature in women's history, feminist theory, and gender studies
- Trains students in historical research and interpretation
- Encourages the combination of scholarship and activism
- Results in a Master of Arts degree
Each year, the program sponsors a Women's History Month Conference, which brings together scholars and activists to explore issues such as Native American women's lives in urban communities, women's organizing efforts in poor and new immigrant communities, women's role in youth movements and the black freedom struggle, queer politics in the new millennium, and women's experience of war.
To learn more, visit the Women's History website or e-mail Mary Dillard, program director.
Engineering: BA & BS with Columbia University
This combined plan program allows students to earn two bachelor degrees in five years: a Bachelor of Arts in the liberal arts from Sarah Lawrence and a Bachelor of Science from Columbia University's Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science.
- Both degrees are awarded after completion of the full five-year program: three years at Sarah Lawrence, two at Columbia.
- Upon successfully fulfilling prerequisite and graduation requirements at Sarah Lawrence, maintaining the necessary overall and prerequisite GPA, and receiving favorable recommendations from College faculty, students are prepared to apply for admission to one of the nation's top engineering programs in one of the world's top universities.
- Graduates gain a competitive advantage from the rare combination of problem-solving and technical skills gained through the study of engineering, joined with the creative thinking and communications skills developed through liberal arts study.
Five-Year Program Alumni Stories
Doug Rubenstein MS ED '15
"I chose Sarah Lawrence College for the same reasons I chose it for my undergraduate education: the degree to which the individual is valued at Sarah Lawrence is remarkable. The small classes and personalized attention made me feel valid, important, and intelligent, which was not always the case in my history with school. And the graduate curriculum was rich with philosophy, theory, examples, and applied experience."
Toni-Anne Vinell Stewart MA '14
"I chose Sarah Lawrence for graduate school because, as an undergraduate student, I knew that the College is a place that supports individual academic growth, nurtures our curiosity, and supports unique thought. When I saw myself becoming more invested in historical narratives and representations of women's struggle for political and economic empowerment, I knew I couldn't study Women's History anywhere else but Sarah Lawrence."
