Who Has a Church Out in the Middle of Nowhere?
On this fine day, my sister and I stumbled upon this craziness. Why is it crazy?, you ask. It's just a weird looking building right? Well, it's a church. OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.
I saw it and yelled for her to stop so that we could go in. She was hesitant because why would they just let us in their church? It's a church for Christ's sake, they HAVE to let us in! I mean, unless they are Mormon.
It really was very strange to me that this was out in the middle of nowhere-ville. When we pulled up, there were people congregating in the backyard, I guess before the service started. We could hear them talking and laughing as we walked up to the doors.
The fact that people were standing 20 yards away made it all the more eerie. I was honestly super creeped out. Never mind scary dark basements, for some reason I found this to be way creepier.
Krista did not share in my feelings. She has obviously never seen Red State. Or read about Jonestown.
Looks alright I guess. Except, where do you sit? Ugh! Imagine having to stand all through church and like, SUFFER?
I thought this was pretty.
OHHH!!! No worries, it's my motherland church! My Macedonian grandma had these pictures of Jesus ALLLLL around our house growing up. I always used to ask her why Jesus looked African American. This church was specifically Croatian, but, same diff.
Someone put a lot of detail into this church. I believe it was owned and operated by the same person, and that they also lived here. Still so weird to me that it was out in the middle of nowhere.
Krista whispered loudly to me that people were coming. Since we didn't ask if we could go in, and since I was taking a ton of pictures while essentially trespassing, when she said that I felt like there was a monster on my heels and I ran across the church to where she was standing. She hissed at me to STOP RUNNING! and I realized that because of the acoustics in the room, and because all the windows were open, the people outside most definitely heard me pounding through their church. Sigh, good one Katherine. How I have not been smote by lightening is beyond me.
Haha! Is someone after you Krista? I believe there was a graveyard on the grounds. I commented that those were the last people who trespassed and took pictures in their church.
Then we tried to get into their bell tower, where I dared Krista to ring the bells. But we chickened out because people really were coming now. And that would have been childish. I mean, I guess it would have been.
It's always pretty neat to find things like this off the beaten path. It makes for interesting stories, don't you think?

4 charged in T-Mobile store robbery
BSO: Georges Richardson, 3 teenagers robbed Oakland Park store
OAKLAND PARK, Fla. – The Broward Sheriff's Office made four arrests in connection with a robbery at a T-Mobile store in Oakland Park.
Police arrested 21-year-old Georges Richardson (pictured, right), two 17-year-old boys, and one 16-year-old boy. The four were each charged with armed robbery with a firearm.
About 9:45 a.m. Monday, two of the four -- wearing masks and hoodies -- stormed into the store at 881 E. Commercial Boulevard and forced employees into the storeroom, where they took 36 new cell phones worth about $21,000, investigators said. The other two acted as look-outs from a nearby Dunkin' Donuts. They then left in two cars.
Police later found one of the cars, and inside it were the masks and hoodies used during the robbery, police said. The car led police to the suspects, and investigators recovered a gun and the cell phones.
Richardson was also charged with two counts of violation of probation.

Archived Q&A and Reviews
May 2013
I am on a quest to figure out how to talk to my 12 and 13 year old about sex, particularly how to respond in situations, as well as share our family values. We have not had an open dialogue, and I feel that it's time. I have friends who started talking about sex and things related to it early because they wanted to prepare their kids before they are in a situation, so that they know how to handle it, and know where their parents stand on it.
My kids are on the shy side and have not been that interested in talking about it with us so they do not ask us questions. We taught them the birds and the bees when they were 6 and 7. What is age appropriate for a 12 and 13 year old? My kids are late bloomers, so they are only mildly interested in the opposite sex at this point.
There's a fine between talking about sex as a normal, healthy part of life yet not making it sound so fun that they want to go out and try it. I want to teach them abstinence through high school, with an emphasis on being ready, being in love, college priorities first, etc.. At the same time, I feel that I need to talk to them about oral sex, and why we don't want them doing it, since it's a lot more prevalent now than it was when I was a teen.
How do I start conversations about this? I know that car chats can be really good, but we are not in the car for very long, and I have a younger child who listens to everything we say.
Any suggestions welcome. I have called the school health person at my school to talk about this further, but wanted to get real advice from parents who have already been in our shoes. Anon
My children never asked many questions either. I would take them for a pleasant walk in the woods. We would chat about many things, then I would say: I want to talk a bit about sex and related issues. I would say my piece and get questions or discussion or Oh Mom. And I would also say that it's ok if they never want to bring it up or if it makes them uncomfortable, but that I would periodically bring it up because it is a part of our lives. That said, there are many sources of info now. Our middle school has just brought a new curriculum on sex to the science class, and I think this will be useful for my son. Also one of my kids was a voracious reader, and he read What's Going On Down There many times. Factual mama
This can be a hard conversation to start if it's not something you are comfortable with. There are some good books which you can read together and then leave lying around in their rooms (and watch the books move around the room ''all by themselves''). ; It's All Perfectly Normal is my favorite--great illustrations, wide diversity of people shown naked (and clothed), vis-a-vis body sizes/types, mobility, age, race, etc. It is matter-of-fact and also funny and celebratory about how our bodies work and all the fun stuff we can do with them. I think the other thing is to take your kids' cues about how much information they want at a given time. When my (now 16-y.o.) daughter would ask questions about sex when she was younger, I would ask what she thought, and then ask where she had heard what she interpreted. I often answered only the question she was asking, and would wait until another time to say more. Good luck and have fun. Tell It Like It Is Mama
Is Sex Ed in middle school appropriate?
March 2013
I have a 6th grader at Montera Middle School who still sleeps with her stuffed animal and watches children's educational programming on PBS. It seems that there is an 8 day program, appx 45 min per day that will take place during the school day this spring to cover sex ed topics that incude help in making safe decisions about sex, explaing anal sex and dental dams, hands-on how to use a condom, and how to check for expiration date of the condom, etc. More info can be found here: http://www.acphd.org/media/114582/project_hope_brochure.pdf
While I applaud the efforts to reduce STD transmission and teen pregnancy, my daughter is just 11 1/2 yrs old and is just starting to show signs of puberty. Am I being unreasonable to think that this material might be a bit mature for her and that she might be better able to comprehend and process it when she is a bit older? If the school thinks the academically advanced 6th graders aren't developmentally ready for algebra next year, how can they be ready for hands-on condom practice with a model or learning about the intricacies of anal sex in a month or so? We have the choice to opt out, but I think it will be even worse for her if other kids attend, and then she hears things second-hand... What to do? signed- Am I being unreasonable?
We are in a different school district, but my kids had a very explicit sex and drugs education module in middle school. I was honestly a little shocked at how much was covered. I thought it was going to be b films with lame titles such as ''On Becoming a Woman'' or something. But no, it was condoms, AIDS, heroin, anal sex, oral sex, etc.
The benefit is that it is a scientific and rational approach, so your kid is getting the facts. Also, it forced some conversations between me and my kids that we might not have initiated otherwise. Lastly, there is NO sex ed in high school (at least in my town), so I am very grateful my kids got a good education before hitting the intense part of their teens.
Even though I was surprised by the content, in the end, I wrote a note to the science teacher thanking her for heading up the program, precisely b/c it isn't taught in high school.
As the parent of a teen who is young for her age, I understand your concern. A couple of thoughts:
First, I don't think you can compare not being developmentally ready for algebra with not being developmentally ready for sex ed. True - within 6th grade kids can be at very different developmentally stages, and it sounds like your daughter is at one end. However, that is not really the point. You don't have kids who aren't ready for algebra seeking it out regardless (but you sure do for kids seeking out sex whether they are ready or not!), and the consequences are not the same.
My opinion is that talking about sex, sexual decision-making, etc. is best started before they are into the throes of hormones, etc. That is when you want them to already HAVE the info and be comfortable with it. The more matter-of-fact it can be the better, and that is easier done when they're a bit younger and it's not so much an ''issue'' yet.
Will your daughter be exposed to topics and other kids' experiences that she doesn't know about, and you think she doesn't need to know about yet? Probably. That's not necessarily a bad thing, because it's a safe environment, there will be an adult response, and you have a ready-made ''in'' to discuss the topics yourself with her. I'm a strong believer of taking advantages of these openings whenever you can, because the opportunities come up less and less as they get older.
How comfortable are you with the way programs like this are planned at your daughter's school? Who are the staff involved? I would talk to the counselor, or whoever else you have a relationship with, to get more specifics. Hopefully they already know your kid and can understand why you have the concerns you do, but even if not, they're aware that or the developmental range at this age and hopefully have thought of how this will be taken into account. Will there be follow-up? Will there be school staff present as well? (I would guess this is a requirement.) Who can you talk to afterward if you have a concern?
You could also talk with someone at the program to find out specifics - even though the brochure and pr are focused on pregnancy prevention, I would guess that is not the only- or even central- message. Sometimes it's a funding issue, sometimes the way you get funding is to frame the message in a certain way. Hopefully it is broader than just pregancy prevention. parent of an older teen - who I still don't want having sex yet
I checked out the link you included and I agree with you. At her age and developmental stage a good puberty education would be more appropriate. Puberty education is different than the learning objectives for the group that's presenting. You might want to check with your school about this.
We had a WONDERFUL woman from Planned Parenthood to speak to the 4th and 5th graders and do a 4 week puberty education program. She was amazing, had been teaching this to younger kids for EVER and was on point, developmentally appropriate and approachable with the bigger questions.
I taught sex ed to 9th graders back in the day and found that there were more general questions about puberty and less about sex than I expected. While the sex ed topics and protection are IMPORTANT there are other aspects to be addressed especially at 12. Plus social management is a big piece of the puzzle as well. I haven't seen the movie ''Nightmare on Puberty Street'' but lots of younger kids seem to see that one too. Sounds like the program for your child should be more comprehensive at this stage and less ''scary''. Another mom
My 17 year old still sleeps with his bear. So what? It has very little to do with maturity. You are underestimating your child and her classmates. In the age of Internet they know more about sex than you can imagine. Formal class in school is a good idea. I think info about anal sex is an awesome idea so not partner can tell her , ''It is safe because you can't get pregnant that way. Mom of teen
It is far far better to teach this stuff too early than too late. What are the consequences of knowing about STDs when someone is very young? What are the consequences of knowing about sexual intercourse or dental dams? Some parents seem to think that it will destroy their innocence or cause them to grow up too fast. But research shows that the more information you give kids, the less need they have to experiment. The consequences of providing this information too late are dire: diseases, some difficult to cure or even deadly and teenage pregnancy, which causes problems of a different sort. Just let her take the class. You will both be glad in the end. Anon
I understand your concern about whether this curriculum is appropriate for your daughter and would hope that I can offer you some reassurance. As a school nurse in an Oakland middle school I am familiar with the Making Proud Choices curriculum. For starters I would alert you that you have been given some misinformation. i.e. the curriculum does not include teaching the ''intricacies of anal sex''. It does include a condom demonstration and the consent form gives you the option of not having your child participate in that particular activity.
Please bear in mind that there is a huge range in every type of development among 6th graders. That's part of what makes both living and/or working with them both challenging and so enjoyable. No matter what end of the developmental spectrum our kids are at, the topics covered in the MPC curriculum are very engaging for all the students. And, more importantly it gives parents a very easy opening to discuss these difficult topics that even the most ''enlightened'' of us often find so hard to talk about with our children. You can start the conversation with your daughter by asking her what she thinks about taking the class. You may be surprised by her response. Lastly, please call Jesus Verduzco (510 481-3789) who runs the program, if you have any questions or concerns. He will be happy to answer all your questions, I'm sure. Lori
Book About Tween Boy Changes
March 2010
Does anyone know of a good book about the changes a boy goes through as puberty sets in? Seems there are dozens about girls and what happens they approach menarche, but boys also mature. When will their voices deepen? When will they grow armpit hair? What kinds of emotional changes will hormones cause for them? What kinds of social pressures loom for them with all of these changes? How does one best parent through the changes? Thank you! anon.
There is an Our Bodies, Ourselves book for teens that I got my son (who is now 14). I liked it because it discussed changes and issues for boys as well as girls. I think boys should be educated on the changes girls go through as well. As with girls, there is no set time frame for transitions. In my son's age group, some kids still look like youngsters and some are towering guys who already look like they are midway through high school. Berkeley Mom of tween boy
Two great books:
It's Perfectly Normal by Robie H. Harris, illustrations by Michael Emberley (for both genders)
'What's Happening to my Body?' Book for Boys, Lynda Madaras.
I got my now-thirteen-year-old son these books after I realized he was surfing the net for information about sex (he googled 'sex' -- guess what he got?). And he loves these books. He keeps the Harris book at close hand all the time. Both books espouse progressive (typical Bay Area) attitudes toward sexuality, just so you know. It was perfect for us. another mother of a growing boy
Look into 'It's Perfectly Normal: A Book About Changing Bodies, Growing Up, Sex, and Sexual Health', by Robie H Harris. It's frank, very informational, and unsilly, while maintaining a sense of humor. anon.
Healthy sex ed. books or DVDs for teens
May 2009
I would like recommendations for positive books, DVDs for teens who have all the basics but now need more explicit sex ed. Much thanks. concerned mom
I found several good books for my teen son. One is an Our Bodies, Our Selves for teens. Very matter of fact and covers lots of ground. The other is a black covered paperback called ''100 Questions You'd Never Ask Your Parent'' by Elisabeth Henderson and Dr. Nancy Armstrong. I thing he devoured most of it at the first sitting. It has answers to questions about pot, alcohol, smoking, stds, slang about sex, contraceptives, etc. all in age appropriate short answers. Health Educator Mom
I've been working with teens and parents for over 12 years. There are a number of great resources out there, but I think I need to know more about the age of your child and your own perspective on teenage sexuality before I would hazard a recommendation. Absent that, I would say that the most important resource your child has is you. Parents forget (or don't know) that they are the most important voice in the life of their child, even in the high school years. Every study in the last decade confirms this. You still have great influence. Don't abdicate your own voice too soon! Feel free to email me offline if you're interested. Erik
Our Bodies Ourselves is excellent. They put out both a teen version and a larger, more complete edition. Brenda
Pre Teen Boy Book about Sexuality
Nov 2008
I am looking for a book to give my nephew about his body and changes it goes through in puberty. He is almost 13, and very interested in sex, I want him to have a resource that is informative. PreTeen Boy Auntie
I highly recommend 'It's Perfectly Normal' by Robie H. Harris, illustrated by Michael Emberley. It was recommended to me as a resource by a friend who does puberty education (aka 'sex ed'). The illustrations are excellent, and the two characters - a bird (who wants to know all about sex) and a bee (who is pretty embarrassed by everything) are an informative hoot. Our now 13-year- old son found it a good resource, and I'm not afraid to leave it out where our six year old can read it, too. The author does have a separate book for ages seven and up titled 'It's So Amazing' but so far I haven't gone that route since I've been able to answer the six year old's questions. Deborah
Encouraging a healthy perspective on sex in teenage boys
March 2006
hi everyone, i was wondering if others had advice and recommendations for resources on how to encourage a healthy perspective on sex for a teenage boy. my son is 15 and has several times, ordered porns online (they are blocked now) and we have discussed the problems i have with many of the situations the movies portray sex and the male/female relationships in them. i'm pretty sure he doesn't get what i'm talking about.
mostly, i want to encourage him to develop a healthy understanding of sex, but i'm at a loss as how to help him. he has the our bodies/selves book and that's about it.
in both my experience and my partner's, we found out about sex on the street, on the playground etc. and nobody helped us - is this it? but these days they have so much more access to sex - movies, pictures/online porn, extreme sex etc. i don't know what to do to counter this deluge of information (mis-information). thanks for your help
Good Vibrations (on San Pablo) has a wide selection of books about all aspects of sexuality, including those oriented towards adolescents and teens. Plus, the staff are knowledgeable about the books and can help steer you towards the ones that can best answer your and your son's needs. Good luck--you're doing a huge service for your son and his future partners. GV fan
I suggest going to the Good Vibrations bookstore on San Pablo (hope they are still there!). They have a whole section of books for children and teens about sexuality -- there is a lot more out there than the book you have. I was in there a few years ago and found a great looking book for my son -- he is now only 11 but the book looked so great I bought it and have been keeping it to give to him when he is a few years older (I think 15 was about right). It has some humor but also addresses all subjects in a very straightforward yet ''hip'' way. If I could remember where I tucked it away I would get you the title, but I can't find it. Hope I find it before he turns 15! In any case, you will find something right for your child and yourself. Planned Parenthood also has a whole seminar about talking with teens about sex. Check out the SF or Shasta Diablo affiliates. That's all I can offer at this point, not having ''crossed that bridge'' yet with my own sons. Share your concerns
Our family has tried to be proactive about discussing different teen issues around sex, gender, and relationships (and I believe a discussion about porn must include all these topics), but it's been quite helpful to have both my preteen daughter and teenage son also having these conversations at both of the Unitarian Universalist churches we've attended-- in Kensington and in Oakland. The ''Our Whole Lives'' curriculum, used at various times in the children's/youths' age span, gives them a chance to have these discussions in a supported and respectful environment with adults other than their parents, and with age peers. kd
To the Mom looking for healthy male teen sexual perspectives: There is a wonderful book for teen aged boys by Howard Schiffer available at www.heartfullovingpress.com that addresses many aspects of sexual development/relationships and is written with a lot of heart and practical advice. You can read parts of it on the web before purchasing. I have not found anything that comes close to this in terms of straightforward sex talk that embodies the values we want our boys to have. Hope this is helpful. Another concerned parent of a teen boy
Interesting responses to this post but for my son (14 yo) they would have totally missed the boat. My experience is that I can educate him, talk to him about all the issues (including porn and its pros and cons) and he still wants to see it. It is not an education issue, it is a hormonal issue. Truthfully, mys son is a very sweet, sensitive kind guy. I have no doubt he will treat his girlfriends well when he decides to have one. So, as much flak as this will get, I have to say I let him have Maxim magazine. Not literary, he likes the pictures! He would like a Playboy but I am not there yet. I spoke with a number of Dads who are great guys who all said they looked at this stuff and survived. They said, go ahead and get it for him. I am a feminist and where I might wish he didnt want to look at this stuff, he does want to.
I do believe that my son will be(and is) a great human being. He treats women, kids, men and animals with respect and love. I couldnt be a more proud mom (ask my friends). Ok, hollar away! anon
Talking to 11-year-old daughter about sex
December 2006
I've always been very open with my daughter about sexual information. But now that she's a pre-teen (11) and menstruating, I'm alarmed that she seems to have forgotten much of what we talked or read about a couple of years ago (''It's So Amazing'' by Robbie Harris was helpful then). Whenever I try to bring up the subject now, she cringes and says, ''Mom, I don't want to talk about that!'' I know there are other books, but how can I introduce a discussion or a new book when my daughter seems so resistent and embarrassed? I don't want to wait till she comes to me, in case she doesn't, nor to get information from her peers. How do I strike a balance that says, I respect your feelings, but here's information you really, really need to know?
Want to Be More Open than My Own Mom Was
I also have an 11 yr old daughter who doesn't want to talk. I just say, ''there are some things I need to tell you so I can give you my perspective.'' Granted it's a (brief) lecture, not a conversation, but I also end by asking if she has questions (not yet!) and saying that she can always come talk to me. I also got her the American Girl book ''Care and Keeping of You'' keep talking, even if it is one way for now
My son also did not want to talk to me about this topic, which is standard behavior for a preteen. I bought a couple of books -- ''It's Perfectly Normal'' is one -- and left them on his bed without making a big deal about it. There are many times when I walk into his room to find these books open, as he has been seeking answers on his own. I have made it clear to him that I am open to questions and discussion any time, and he has asked a few questions, but he mostly pursues his independent study. I think that at this age when they are finding their own way and intensely private, it is important to respect that while at the same time letting them know that you are available as a resource. Anon
''Our Bodies, Our Selves'' comes in a kid/teen-friendly version that is very informative and straight forward. If she keeps it in her bookshelf in her room then she can sneak peeks at it when you are not looking and get useful information. A woman friend gave that book to my daughter when she was around 11. I would also just keep talking about things when they come up and even when they don't. My theory is, if I just keep talking eventually something will sink in! And remember, Condoms, condoms, condoms!!! Even though she's far from being sexualy active you can still talk about safety. You can bring up AIDS in a way that's not talking about sex at all, and slowly turn the conversation to other STDs, etc. I also stress that sex is more than just a physical thing, it's a psychic thing and talk about how that's not really covered in all the TV shows. They just focus on the physical. Just keep talking! mom of teen
I'd suggest giving your daughter a book that she can read on her own, if and when she wants the information. My mother gave me ''Our Bodies, Ourselves'' when I got my period and I never read the whole thing, but I did use it as a resource. At Good Vibrations, there's a sex education section where you can browse and see if you think they are appropriate. A good pre-teen/teen book for girls is ''Deal with It! A Whole New Approach to Your Body, Brain and Life as a Gurl'' from the gurl.com website. Good luck! anon
Books about puberty for girls
Nov 2006
My 9 year old is showing first early signs of puberty. Any recommendations for accessible and sensible books on puberty/development for her to read? Though she's showing physical changes of development, she's not excited about this new stage of life at all.. A mom who's not quite ready..
A friend with an older daughter recommended the book, ''The Care and Keeping of You'' published by American Girl Magazine. I gave it to my daughter at age 10. You can get it at the library first if you want to check it out. It covers all kind of things about the body from taking care of your hair to discussing the changes the body goes through, etc... It's very matter of fact and not scary. She has been reading it at her own pace and comfort level. Hope this helps Martha
Try ''It's Perfectly Normal'' in paperback, can't remember the author or publisher. Appropriate for pre-teens. My daughter really enjoyed the panel cartoons of the egg and sperm journeys anon
Books for 12yo boy about puberty
Oct 2004
I am looking for the ''Our Bodies Ourselves'' equivalent for a 12 year old boy - any suggestions? thanks
I've come across two books that might be helpful: What's Happening to my Body? A Book for Boys (Lynda Madaras), and The Guy Book (by Mavis Jukes). Though not exactly like Our Bodies, Ourselves, they were both really great. To give credit where it's due: these were recommended to me by Margaret, the children's specialist at A Clean Well-Lighted Place for Books in SF. A Mom
At my library I recommend all three of these for boys on the cusp of adolescence:
The what's happening to my body? book for boys : a growing-up guide for parents and sons / Lynda Madaras, with Area Madaras
It's perfectly normal : a book about changing bodies, growing up, sex and sexual health / Robie H. Harris ; illustrated by Michael Emberley
What's going on down there? : answers to questions boys find hard to ask / Karen Gravelle, with Nick and Chava Castro -- Children's Librarian
''what's going on down there'' was great for my son at that age. He was very (predictably) curious about all things related to his body and sex and the book was very appropriate for his age. I got the renewed our bodies book but will wait to give that to him when he enters high school.
He said he never knew he could read 175 pages in a week! ha now we know! he also said it clarified things he had heard about but wasn't sure or had heard wrong information in there about.
It is fun, has cartoonish type pictures coupled with clear information. i think i bought it on half.com for a good price too! good luck! here we go!
Single Mom with 11-year-old boy - when should we talk?
March 1999
My 11 year old son is at the age of curiosity about sex and girls. I am a single mother and I am not sure at what age boys need to have a serious talk about puberty and sex. He is not shy about asking me questions but I hesitate in answering some inquiries. I am afraid my son is growing too fast.
I am the mother of two sons 14 and 7. I understand your concerns about your 11 year old. Around that time my older son discovered soft porn on the Internet and pretty much made a part-time summer job of surfing the sites until I checked in on him and cut him off. I was lucky to have a husband to calm my fears of raising a sex maniac. He said it was normal and had the technology been there he would have pulled the same stunt around the same age. They worked out a solution of locked up soft porn in a mens area. My part was to talk to him about girls being human beings and the reality of airbrushing i.e. what he is seeing is NOT real. I still try to jump on any gender bashing or the like. Your son will probably grow up respecting women much more for having a single mom who cares. I have the challenge of being the only representative of the femalegender in my home when my growing up experience was in an all girl home. So talk - talk honestly and ask for male help when it goes beyond your comfort level. The important part is to keep communication open. It proved true for us when my son got in too deep with an older teenager - it was mom who he shared his concerns with. And the good news was he had been listening all along.
You should be glad that your son is asking you instead of obtaining this information from friends. Neither of my girls have asked me much about sex. I believe you should answer all of his questions. He'll get the information whether you tell him or not. This way you have control over what you tell him.
If he's expressing curiosity about sex and girls, then the time to talk is now. If you don't answer his questions, he'll look elsewhere for answers. You can't keep him from being curious and slow down his growing up, he'll just be misinformed. You want him to feel as comfortable as possible coming to you for advice and information, and not pick up that you're not comfortable with his growing up. This is your best hope of influencing him. We really can't control our children's lives, and the world around them, to the extent we might like to, we can only control how well we handle our own interaction with them.
As a mother of two teenagers and a precocious 7-year old, my advice is that it's not too early at all to answer your 11-year-old's questions about puberty and sex. Some of the girls, at least, in his class at school have undoubtedly begun puberty. Congratulate yourself on raising a son who is not too shy to ask you these questions! Answering his questions frankly will not, I think, cause him to grow up too fast. The myths kids can learn from their peers if they are not getting straight information elsewhere can be dangerous.
Regarding the 11-year-old boy and sex -- when I took my ten year old for his check-up, his pediatrician (at Kaiser) suggested taking him to a class called growing up male (there's a growing up female class as well). It's a class for pre-teens and their parents that puts out the sex/development information (from both the male and female point of view) for kids in a straight-forward, educational manner. It's run by Planned Parenthood, and given at Kaiser, for both members and non-members. My husband just took our now almost 11 year old (there were moms there with their boys) -- my husband said it was a really good class, and my son didn't say it was awful, and he actually said he learned something -- which for him is a pretty good endorsement. You can get information about it by calling Kaiser's health ed dept, or maybe by calling Planned Parenthood directly. Good luck.
I'd like to put in a word for two books regarding sex that are written for the teenage audience. One is Dr. Ruth Talks To Kids by Dr. Ruth Westheimer (New York: Macmillan, 1993, 96 pgs). The sub-title is Where You Came From, How Your Body Changes, and What Sex Is All About. I gave this book to my son when he was 10. (Remember those Now You Are 10 booklets for girls?) Now that he is a sophomore in high school, his health class is reading Changing Bodies, Changing Lives by Ruth Bell and other co-authors of Our Bodies, Ourselves and Ourselves and Our Children (New York: Vintage Books, 1998, 254 pgs). I wish I could have had these two books on my shelves when I was growing up. -- Bonnie

Bring back the play in play ball.
Above, kids organizing a game of man hunt. As you can see 1 child takes on a leadership role, appoints each participant a task and the kids not only learn a valuable life lesson, but also get exercise all while playing.
I have been wanting to write something about this for some time now. Thank you for your time in reading this and thank you for your support in our youth program.
As a recent step parent to an awesome 9-year-old, I have noticed that kids are slowly lacking the ability to play. Also, the need for a structured organized sport for my 9-year-old seems redundant and not necessary. They spend more time learning the game, and not as much time playing. Plus, we as parents feel that we need to put them in as many sports and activities possible or else we feel we have failed them, but in actuality I believe we are causing them more harm. As after the camps, school, soccer, hockey, football classes, Spanish class, violin practice etc etc etc, when I ask my son to go out and play and only come back when either you are hungry or the street lights turn on, he looks at me dumb founded, like huh? You want me to do what? With the constant stimulation from the technology (can you believe that if your child does not have an ipad, according to some schools they could fall behind) that when they are asked to go out and play, they get bored. Wait a second, playing outside is boring? When we were kids you could not keep us inside, now kids fight to stay in and play on technology. Now granted I did play my fair share of Mario bros. as a kid but I also knew how to organize a game of manhunt with the neighbourhood kids who I went door to door asking if they wanted to come out and play. Don't get me wrong there is plenty of pro's when it comes to organized sports, developing friendships, learning a sport, developing leadership traits, etc. this article is about having them in at the right time, as all those traits you can learn while playing a giant game of manhunt with the neighbourhood kids.
What is considered structured and un structured?
OCRA flirts with both categories, OFK and kids camp happens at a specific time, are organized by adults, but we focus on the aspect of playing. Teaching them how to use their body to navigate through obstacles by following the ABC's of sports.
We focus on the aspect of being self motivated, when we have free time we encourage the youth to organize one another by setting the rules, they get to climb structures, crawl under things, jump through things, essentially, it's a concrete jungle for the kids to get in shape by playing.
One of the many challenge with structured sports such as soccer, lacrosse, and football for kids under the age of 16 is that seventy percent of children leave organized sports by the age 13, according to research by the National Alliance for Sports. Let's put it this way: If your daughter or son plays on a soccer team, seven out of 10 of the members of that team won't be playing soccer or any organized sport whatsoever by the time they enter their teenage years.
Syracuse University made headlines recently with word that an eighth-grade girl had verbally committed to play on its women's lacrosse team, a move that appears to be the youngest ever commitment to a men's or women's college lacrosse team. What kid at the age of 13 knows what they want, let alone what team they want to play for. The underlining issue with this is, that parents strive for their kids to get a scholarship, coaches encourage scouts to come to their team. These kids are losing out on so many things because now its not a game, it's a business and that if they want that scholarship they now HAVE to go to these events and not only do they have the pressure of the game on their shoulders but their entire future.
Why are kids quitting?
"Kids are telling us this is not for me. It might be for you, but it's really not meeting our needs," said Mark Hyman, author of three highly-regarded books on kids and sports, including "Until It Hurts: America's Obsession with Youth Sports and How It Harms Our Kids."
One of the main reasons kids are walking away is because of injuries due to overuse. Every year, more than 3.5 million children under the age 14 need treatment for sports injuries, with nearly half of all sports injuries for middle and high school students caused by overuse, according to research.
Car Ride:
Parents are showing up to practice, recording the action on their iphones, only to use it later to review with the kids. When I went to practice hardly any of the parents stuck around, and on the way home after a game if I wanted to talk about something I would, my mother would not talk to me about something unless I was in the mood to talk about it. This is an issue we see all to much is over parenting. By no means am I saying you should be involved, but you don't want to be too involved. If you create an environment where the child feels safe to talk to you about something, trust me, they will.
Report card is in and it ain't good Canada.
According to the ParticipACTION Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth are compared to grades from 37 other countries across six continents. The global comparisons were led by Dr. Mark Tremblay, Director of the Healthy Active Living and Obesity Research Group at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute (HALO-CHEO) and Chief Scientific Officer of the ParticipACTION Report Card. The consolidated findings show Canada has above-global-average grades in physical activity infrastructure and programs, yet is trailing at the back of the pack in grades that measure physical activity and sedentary behaviour. The comparisons also reveal kids move the most in countries where being active is a priority or is an integral part of their everyday lifestyle.
Physical activity is not a priority in Canadian children's lifestyles; inactive modes of transportation to and from school, too much screen time and being too busy for free play are all contributing to Canada's lagging grades in the comparisons. It will take many facets of Canadian society, working together, to shift behaviours to get our children and youth more physically active.
Take home:
I believe that kids should learn to play, and when it comes to high school and playing isen't cool anymore, get them to try out for a structured sport. Hopefully by this time they are in great shape from all that climbing, crawling, sprinting and navigating over obstacles have got them into decent shape where now they can take that athleticism and apply it a structured sport where they can now excel and they hopefully have the maturity to do what is necessary to be successful at their selected sport. Support them by encouraging them when they are down and reminding them when they are up that there will be a down but this is why they train.
Remember we get really good at what ever we practice, this includes excuses.

Here are the basics about automatically uploading your photos and videos via the OneDrive app for Android.
Note: Camera Upload can only be used on one account at a time.
When you sign in to OneDrive for the first time, you'll be asked if you'd like to automatically upload photos and videos you take on your phone to OneDrive. Tap Turn on to turn on automatic upload. You can also turn this on from Settings. Here's how:
For personal OneDrive accounts:
In the OneDrive app, tap the Me icon at the bottom of the app, then tap Settings .
Tap Camera upload.
Set Camera upload to On.
To help preserve your device battery while downloading, select the Upload only when charging checkbox.
All photos and videos will be uploaded at their original sizes when you're on a Wi‑Fi network. If you want to use your mobile network, open the OneDrive app, open Settings, tap Camera backup, tap Upload using, and choose Wi‑Fi and mobile network.
The camera roll on your device uploads to OneDrive, rather than syncing. That means you can delete uploaded photos and videos from your device, and the copies in OneDrive won't be affected.
The OneDrive cloud icon may briefly appear in your Android notifications as part of the normal upload process.
For OneDrive for Business accounts:
Make sure you're signed in to the app with the account that you want to upload photos to.
Select Me > Photos.
In the Photos view, from the Camera upload status pop-up, select Turn on. (If you already have Camera Upload enabled on another account, select Change instead.)
Confirm that you want to Turn on Camera upload. (If you selected Change in the previous step, confirm that you want to Change the Camera Upload account.)
Confirm again that you have the right account selected.

Dorothy Perkins (on sale!) and then added details to them myself to make them tie-in better with my overall wedding look.
I was very lucky as I have a bottle of nail polish the exact same colour as the sash on my dress and I've gotten into the habit of carrying it everywhere with me so if I find something for the wedding I can check that it's the right colour straight away!
So, once I'd bought the shoes (and gotten a GORGEOUS free scarf due to their awesome buy-one-get-one-free sale) I had to find a way to make them stand out more. Easy solution: glittery-ness! My dress has a lot of gold sequin detail so gold sequins were the way to go. I bought 2ft of strung sequins (okay, in hindsight a bit too much but better than running out and I can use it again) and made my merry way home.
What you need: Shoes, sequins on a string, glue (I used superglue as that was what I had to hand), pins.
Start at the back of the shoe and pin the sequins into place at regular intervals. Work the whole way around until you have the entire outline done. Now you know how much of the strung sequins you need for that shoe so you can cut off the excess. Repeat on the other shoe.
Next we're going to actually glue it all into place. Remove all the pins and the sequins. Put a tiny smear of glue on the start of the length of sequin string. Press it to your original starting point and pin into place. Spread a very thin line of glue along the sequin string (about the distance that you had between your original pins, say an inch or so), press down and pin. You'll need to pin more frequently on the curved sections near the front. Repeat until you've edged the entire shoe and finish with your last sequin overlapping your first (you'll have to remove the pin and re-pin afterwards it to do this).
Leave the glue to dry fully before removing your pins. Tada! Sequin edged shoes! It really is very simple, I did mine whilst watching Pitch Black on tv so don't be stressing about it.
My next step for these shoes is going to be gold glitter soles. I haven't done it yet (due to FEAR) but I did a practice run on another pair and it worked out fine so I really should just get on with it. I'll add an actually step-by-step tutorial for that when the time comes.

Sir Chris Hoy will be there for the National Lottery's anniversary run, in which 15,000 people will pound round the Olympic Park, their five-mile route taking them past the velodrome, round the Orbit Tower and finishing in the stadium.
But, unlike his former cycling colleague Victoria Pendleton, Hoy is not doing any running. He is the event's official starter, his role restricted to sounding the hooter. And there is a simple reason this most competitive of sporting beasts will not be participating.
"The short story is I can't run," he explains. "I've got a gammy foot." It was something he only discovered this year, when he had retired from his gilded career on a bicycle.
"After taking a couple of jogs while on holiday with his wife, he found he was in pain. On returning home he had an MRI scan which revealed a genetic weakness in his foot.
"I've got what's called Freiberg's Disease," he says. "Because I've not run since I was a kid, I've not noticed I've got this problem on my metatarsal.
"It's like a square peg in a round hole, it rubs and causes inflammation. All they can do to fix it is to break the bone, twist it round so it fits properly.
"That would mean weeks in a plaster cast. But it's fine for cycling, driving, going to the gym. It's the pushing off part that causes the problem." Not that Hoy appears too disappointed about his newly diagnosed condition.
It never stopped him accruing his record haul of gold medals atop a bike, nor is it restricting him in his post-retirement ambition to become a racing driver. It is on the track, incidentally, that he has found an ideal substitute for the adrenalin-rush of competitive cycling.
"I did a race at Oulton Park the other day and the moment the lights came on at the start, you think: this is awesome," he says of his participation in the Radical SR1 Cup.
"I got into the lead at the first corner, got pinned, spun, came to, stationary, facing the wrong way with 20 cars coming at you.
"Talk about adrenalin: that keeps you awake." Besides, Hoy will not need to run to experience the thrill of tomorrow's event. This week, on his first visit to the stadium since last summer, he found the hairs on the back of his neck standing to attention even if the place was empty.
"I didn't think it would be a big deal," he says, as he sits in the stands."But the moment you walk in, see the landmarks, the memories flood back."
Hoy first encountered the stadium at the opening ceremony. He had not anticipated being involved and was still in the cycle training camp at Newport when he heard he had been selected to carry the flag for the British team. The only way he could get up from South Wales in time was to arrive like the Queen and James Bond, by helicopter.
"It was my first time in a helicopter, so it was already exciting," he recalls. "I'd seen the very first part of the opening ceremony from the village. You could tell straightaway this was something special, they'd nailed it."
None of the British team had been briefed about the reception they would receive in the stadium, David Bowie's Heroes playing from the public address system, the cannon-fire of confetti. But then, Hoy had other things on his mind as he made his way to the athletes' gathering point outside.
"I was so conscious about getting bugs, I'd covered my hands in antiseptic gel. When I grabbed the flag it went 'weee' straight through my hands. I couldn't get hold of this greasy, slippery pole."
That was why he could not hold it steady, and was instead obliged to behave like an over-excited semaphore operator.
"I'd been given a thorough briefing about what I should do with the thing, but you walk out and it's just noise and lights and this incredible atmosphere, you forget what you're supposed to do. All convention went out of the window, I was just waving it around, having a great time." It was, he recalls, a moment that made him appreciate how lucky he was to be there.
"The biggest thing I remember was, as I walked in on the track with the flag, I thought what a privilege, the last four years of ups and downs were worth it just for this. Really, if I don't win a medal this will have been enough."
Hoy, though, did win, not one but two golds, his astonishing, tungsten-thighed performances in the velodrome electrifying the nation.
And on Sunday, as 15,000 runners dash round the park in celebration of the more than £4 billion which has been invested in sport by the National Lottery since 1994, there will be none who will begrudge him watching from the starter's podium.
If anyone deserves to put their feet up while others sweat, it is Sir Chris Hoy.
The National Lottery Anniversary Run is organised by Nova International with the London Borough of Newham and the London Legacy Development Corporation

Opponents of a senior citizen apartment complex planned for Youngs Road in Amherst may have won Round 1, but now they're waiting for the developer's next move.
Days after residents came to the town to voice opposition to the project, Young Development Inc. has pulled its request for variances on the senior apartments planned at 1055 Youngs.
Amherst officials were notified of the latest development over the weekend in a letter from Young's attorney.
"Today is a small victory in the sense that they're not going to press this behemoth of a building," Lance Konkle, of nearby Treebrooke Court, said Monday, "but we're opposed to development on that property altogether."
Young representatives have promised to meet with residents, but the anticipation is the developer will return with a plan that doesn't require any variances from the town.
In fact, the property is already properly zoned for the apartments.
Despite receiving news in their favor, a couple dozen opponents of the project filed into Monday's Town Board meeting to express their concerns about the apartment project moving forward.
"We're still here to make certain we're on the record of being opposed to this," said Patrick Welch, also of Treebrooke.
Increased traffic, drainage problems and a loss of green space topped their list of issues.
Residents also raised questions about whether wetlands on the site could prevent the developer from building.
"We're not against development, but we're vehemently against bad development," Welch said, "and this is bad development."
No one at Monday's meeting spoke on the developer's behalf.
Young, which has other senior projects in West Seneca and Elma, proposed "Sharon's Place" on the more than 5½-acre site south of Renaissance Drive and north of Treebrooke.
The land was sold in 2010 by St. Stephens Byzantine Catholic Church of Amherst to 1055 Youngs Road LLC for $360,000, according to real estate records.
Plans show three, three-story apartment buildings with a total of 99 units, according to the site plan. The project includes 189 parking spaces and 76 attached and detached garages.
Monthly rents for the one- and two-bedroom apartments would range from $980 to $1,550, Young representatives have said.
More than 20 irate residents attended the Zoning Board of Appeals meeting last week, after receiving a letter notifying them that the builder was seeking variances for the site.
Council Member Mark A. Manna had submitted a resolution asking the Zoning Board of Appeals to reject the requested variances.
However, Manna, who is running for town supervisor, withdrew his resolution on Monday after Young withdrew its application.
"Job was accomplished," Manna told those in attendance at Monday's Town Board meeting. "Thanks to the residents for standing up for their neighborhDeveood."

ARK Cottage at Ye Old House
A Herefordshire Holiday Cottage
Ark Cottage is closed for the winter. We will open again Spring 2020.
Ark Cottage, which looks like a Noah's Ark, is a modern three-bedroomed, centrally- heated,
self-contained annexe to the 15th century Ye Old House.
It is located in the picturesque centre of Orleton, Herefordshire, five miles from Ludlow and Leominster,
all situated in the Marches, in past centuries disputed territory over which Welsh and English fought,
and built their spectacular castles.
An entrance porch leads into the combined kitchen/living area equipped with table and chairs,
storage cupboards, and bookshelves with radio and CD player, 'fridge, cooker, double sink,
dishwasher, washer-dryer, kettle, microwave cooker and toaster as well as saucepans, china,
glasses and cutlery for six.
Upstairs, Ark Cottage has three bedrooms and can sleep six comfortably. Bedroom 1 is a double-bedded
room looking out on to the garden and the old shepherd's hut. Bedroom 2 accommodates 2 children in
bunk beds which are large enough for teenagers or adults if needed. Bedroom 3 is furnished as a
TV room/bedroom with double sofa-bed, TV, DVD, CD player and free WiFi.
The family bathroom has toilet, wash-basin and bath with shower over.
Ark Cottage has central heating and constant hot water. It is cosy and warm because the cavity walls
are lined with eco-friendly sheep's wool.
The twelve solar panels on the rear roof provide power to heat water and run appliances.
Outside, the old fashioned garden, with lawns, vegetable plots, fruit trees and roses, can be used by guests. There is also off-street parking.
We welcome families, walkers and cyclists. Sorry, no dogs.

You almost forget what nu-metal was. The world was awash with the sounds of Linkin Park, Papa Roach et al but five years ago. Since then we've had the fads of garage scuzz buzz rock and emo screamo gleamo core xx fall off the bandwagon sooner rather than later and aren't we all the better for it.
Adema used to have a gimmick - like all nu-metal bands must – in that their lead singer Marky Chavez **wasn't merely a Hispanic scally but was the (get this) half brother of Korn's Jonathan Davis. "Kerrching," said the major label record company and released their debut album to the tune of over a half million Americans' wallets flapping open and empty in the wind. Once the notoriously 'difficult' second album bombed, "I'm too tortured and stuff for this," said our mate Chav and quit.
Cut to now and Adema have a new singer, a new label and have just released a painfully generic, and ultimately crap, nu-metal album, even by their standards. Party like it's 1999. Adema sadly are.

text: The PORTA ALLEGRA was build by the Ellicott Machine Company in 1909. It was one of four dredges built by them to work on the Panama Canal. Being it was designed to operate in the saftey of confined waters, it was outfitted with additional stabilization to make the ocean going journey from Maryland to Panama. Unfourtunately the additional support was not enough to save it form a storm in the early morning hours on December 13, 1909. Crews on the tug TORMENTOR attempted to rescue the men on the PORTA ALLEGRA but 4 men on the dredge went down with the ship. One crew member from the TORMENTOR died in the rescue attempt also. The wreck was know for decades as Ed's Lobster Wreck after Captain Ed Wolfe, who was the first to take divers to the site. In 2000 a local diver Bryan Tate recovered a winch with a manufacturers plate (Ellicott Machine Co.) and a number "4300". The PORTA ALLEGRA was contract number 4300 from the Ellicott Machine Co. This number identified the wreck site.

Saravanaa Bhavan is famous in the UK so I was elated to learn that they are in Hong Kong.
Definitely highly recommended because this is the stuff you get in UK.
Saravanaa Bhavan is vegetarian so it is now competing with Branto, Woodlands, and Khana Khazana.
To be honest I haven't really tried the others but I remember vaguely dining at Khana Khazana's WanChai branch.
Anyway, I was really looking forward to dinner here and it definitely didn't disappoint because it is just as good as the one in UK.
I had an extremely difficult decision choosing the dishes because there were so many choices for dosa and uthappam.
Luckily the rice pudding dessert was not available that night because I am going to go again soon with my brother so we can compare it with the Tooting branch.
Here were the dishes that we had:
Cheese dosa:
I chose this because it contained grated cheddar cheese!
Basically it was crispy filled with delicious melted cheese and you can think of it as an Indian crepe!
As well as cheese they had other fillings and the rava dosa is also good so you can see how difficult it was choosing a dosa!
Idly Vada:
I have never tried this before so I got the Idly Vada so that I could try both the Idly and Vada.
Idly is Steamed rice and lentil patty patty and it is like a steamed rice cake but savoury and damn delicious!
Vada is a fried lentil donut which I tried the first time and it was so fxxing good!
Strangely it tasted like a light fluffy potato donut.
Tomato uthappam:
uthappam is a Rice and lentil pancake and again there were so many damn delicious choices to choose from so I have to dine here again!
Every damn combination they had is going to be damn delicious such as onions and peas, tomato and peas etc.
The tomato pancake was how I imagined it to be, crispy and fluffy with bits of tasty tomato.
bagalabath is kurd rice which is yoghurt and rice.
Previously tried this before at some restaurant in Central but they don't always serve it.
The bagalabath here is so creamy and it is like a runny rice pudding with lovely bits of ginger and chili in it.
I had to be careful of the bits of chili though because it was too spicy for me.
To summarize, I enjoyed this meal because the items I chose were starchy and tasted like potatoes and I love anything that tastes like potato!

Is there a way to access open and click data from a marketing campaign? I've had a good look through and don't seem to be able to find this information.
As an example, if I send out a campaign about a particular product then I'd like to be able to have a workflow so that it someone clicks a link it will create an opportunity. Equally, a report of all contacts/leads that opened or clicked a campaign would be very useful.
Is there a way to do this at the moment?
I'd also expect to see this data against the lead or contact - so as well as the campaigns they've been sent, which ones they opened and/or clicked.

Perhaps it's just me, but the temperature in the UK appears to have dropped recently and although it would be premature to declare that winter is on its way, there is certainly a chill in the air that hints at the continued shift in the weather over the coming months. This new autumn bite has left me reaching for my comfy knits and warmer coats earlier that I expected. That being said, this is British weather we're talking about and its continual unpredictability is legendary.

Never one to do anything by halves, when I saw a blog post from House of Fraser asking bloggers to pull together a key look for next season, I sensed a challenge afoot. Rather than simply listing the items, I saw an opportunity to be a little bit more creative.
After some quick brainstorming I decided to create a paper doll that I could style with my favourite items from House of Fraser. I have fond memories of paper dolls as my first foray into the world of fashion. Long before I was sewing clothes for Barbie and Sindy, I was carefully cutting out outfits to style my flimsy friends.

The weather may have been abysmal for most of the summer, but that hasn't stopped the wedding season from winding up into full swing. So far this year I've been to two weddings and I've got three more to go. Two of which are at that slightly awkward time of year where summer becomes autumn and the already unpredictable British weather becomes exceptionally erratic. Bearing that in mind I started to research suitable wedding outfits and came to the conclusion that a maxi dress is the way forward. Long enough to keep you warm in a cold breeze and loose enough to keep you cool whilst standing in the sun – the ideal wedding guest outfit.

Sale shopping, two words that normally strike fear into my heart. Crowds of bargain hungry women fully prepared to trample over anyone who gets in their way. Gorgeous clothes hung randomly on racks and frequently strewn across the floor - more akin to a jumble sale than a retail environment. But not so in the Reading branch of French Connection. Not an item out of place, friendly staff and trample free toes, a winning result! This haven from the sale starved crowds that had taken over The Oracle proved to be a wonderful retreat for me to indulge in some genteel browsing and trying on. It did however, result in some damage to my bank account and my husband's patience.

Top 5 Asmadi Games Board Games
Top 5 Asmadi Games Board Games
Top 5 Asmadi Games Board Games will feature five games that I feel do a great job representing the goals and experiences shared through playing games published by Asmadi Games. These games are not like most because of unique mechanics, abilities, and development choices. I've always enjoyed throwing one of these peculiar experiences into gamenight because of how different they play from the rest. With games using the Mottainai board mechanic to their brand new One Deck Dungeon dice rolling experience. I hope you enjoy.
Mottainai is a board game I feel is absolutely necessary for this post because of how strategic, hard to learn, and unique this game plays from everything else. This game has each player as an acolyte for a Buddhist temple creating works to display and sell to visitors. These works are completed through collecting material. Once a work is completed they will then be placed in your gallery in order to inspire new helpers for your tasks or will be placed in your gift shop to make some sales. To win the game, be the first player to pace down 5 works in either your gallery or your gift shop. The Asmadi bit of this game is the multiple use cards allowing players to decide whether they want to score points, get more actions, build, play, draw, and so forth. Yeah, this game is still hard to remember how to play.
Red 7 is a game about always winning by the end of your turn. The game play itself is really simple–The actions you are able to take include play a card from your hand face up in your palette, discard a card from your hand to the Canvas to change the current rule, or play a card from your hand to your Palette and then discard a card to the Canvas. The game is nice to look at, it's quick and easy to learn, it's unique and veryTop 5 Asmadi Games Board Games material. The Asmadi thing about this card game is just how unique the gameplay is. Needing to always win in this micro card game is just something I haven't seen done before.
Heat is an uncooperative heist game for three players or more. You want the most money after a series of heist rounds. Each round players will draft and play cards simultaneously from their hand, activating the actions in order of cards labeled A to the cards labeled C. It's aesthetically Saul Bass inspired artwork, It's semi-cooperative yet opponent only gameplay, and it's ability to really throw the game on an 180 strategy and gameplay make this an experience worth checking out. While this may not be the most Asmadi game out there, it's a lot of fun for those looking for a great heisting themed game (like I was when I stumbled across it).
One Deck Dungeon is a new addition to the Asmadi list of games. It's a one to two player cooperative dungeon crawling card game featuring dice, monsters, and bosses. The use of the defeated monsters makes this very Asmadi as you need to decide what is more important to upgrade, your abilities, your level, or your skills which all help you dive deeper into the dungeons of One Deck Dungeon. My favorite part, all the playable characters are female showing us we don't need to keep pushing the gender stereotypes of heroic warriors! Woo!
Adorable Pandaring is an ever changing goal card game by the one and only on this post, Asmadi Games. I love this game because of how quick it can play and how different the early game and end game can turn out. Players are looking to collect bamboo, however, bamboo can only be collected when someone matches the current panda law, which always changes. Once done players with the most adorable pandas (based on the law at the moment) will get points. Simple, but very fun.

Understanding Sugar Substitutes And Their Role
Sugar substitutes are food additives that take the place of your regular table sugar, and are generally much sweeter. Usually helpful in weight management and diabetes, these substitutes also help fight tooth decay, and are effective in reactive hypoglycemia (drop in blood sugar level). Despite these advantages, sugar substitutes have many controversial questions that beg answers like whether their long term use affects health badly, how much of consumption is safe, and whether they really can function as real sugar replacements. A better understanding of sugar substitutes may help answer these questions. Common approved substitutes/sweeteners Aspartame – is 200 times » » » [Read more]

Concluding an Enquiry: SA Legislation: What does not constitute a Closure Notice
Where the taxpayer and agent will not co-operate, or are only providing intermittent or partial co-operation, you may have to arrive at your own figure for what the self assessment should be, on the basis of the information you have obtained.
Exploratory negotiations may take place at a stage when you have not completed all aspects of your enquiry. Indeed the negotiations may themselves reveal the need for further enquiries to clarify the facts. In the course of such negotiations, you may put informal proposals to the taxpayer and outline the resultant tax effect (for example, by enclosing a computation). If you do the taxpayer cannot argue that the letter comprises a partial or final closure notice as you will not have included all the elements necessary for a partial or final closure notice, in particular you will not have stated that your enquiry is completed into any matter.
If you feel there may be any doubt or future problems, you should state clearly that the letter is not a partial or final closure notice.
Since a partial or final closure notice must be issued to the taxpayer, it should not be possible for anything addressed to the taxpayer's agent to be construed as such a notice.

Produktinformationen "Plasma-assisted synthesis of hydrogenated TiO2 for energy storage and conversion"Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is widely used in the energy storage and conversion area. However, the performance of TiO2 is substantially lower than practically required. This results from its limited solar absorption, low charge transfer rate, and low electrochemical acitivity. In this study, hydrogenated TiO2 (H-TiO2) with distinct physical and chemical properties is controlledly synthesized through a hydrogen (H2) plasma treatment. The obtained material exhibits excellent performance in applications for lithium ion batteries, photocatalysis, and photothermal conversion. Moreover, the microstructure of H-TiO2, and its effect on the application performance of H-TiO2 is comprehensively investigated. It is believed that this research might provide new insights into synthesis, properties, and applications of H-TiO2, which is highly favorable for the development of high-performance and versatile TiO2 materials for energy storage and conversion devices.

Winner of Adrian Van Sinderen Poster Prize announced
Kyungjae Daniel Lee '20 of Benjamin Franklin College has been selected as the winning designer in this year's poster competition for the Adrian Van Sinderen Book Collecting Prizes.
Lee's poster will be used to advertise this year's competition. The judging committee commended its "vigorous and evocative blackletter typography, which will draw attention from a distance."
Honorable mention was awarded to Deborah Monti '19 of Jonathan Edwards College. Monti's poster is honored for its "legibility and its use of type and image to create a compelling sense of depth." Julia Ma '19 of Jonathan Edwards College and Tommy Huang '19 of Jonathan Edwards College were also awarded an honorable mention for their "appealing use of letterpress typography." The committee appreciated the designers' sense of humor as they improvised substitutions for missing characters in their wood-type font, turning being "out of sorts" to graphic advantage.
For more than half a century, student bibliophiles have been receiving prizes for the quality of their book collections, thanks to the generosity of alumnus Adrian Van Sinderen (Class of 1910). In 1957 Van Sinderen established two prizes, awarding $1,000 to seniors and $700 to sophomores, in order to encourage undergraduates to collect books, build up libraries of their own, and read for pleasure and learning. In 2002 a poster competition was established; a $500 prize is awarded to the winning designer.

Sodalite 6 - Sided Massage Wands - These cut and polished Sodalite Wands from India are a nice dark blue with some white streaks. By stimulating the Pineal Gland, Sodalite clears the Third Eye, and deepens meditation. These wands are great to place next to your computer to help clear electromagnetic pollution. Working with the Throat and Third Eye Chakras, Sodalite is thought to combine these energies in such a way as to allow the fusion of logic and intellect with intuitive knowledge. Sodalite is often used when altruism and/or idealism are needed in a situation. These wands feel great to hold in your hand and are good for Meditations, Grids and Energy Sessions.
The shape of wands, whether natural or artificially made, focuses energy toward a point, and makes them standard healing tools. Energy healers often use wands by working with the natural energies of the mineral, and programming them with a specific intent. As always, they must be cleared and reprogrammed between uses. Carry or hold a Sodalite Wand to help facilitate a sense of internal knowing of the intuitive ideas that are necessary to one's spiritual evolution.
Sodalite is said to promote companionship, and can be used in group settings, where cooperation is needed. These Wands of Sodalite can be quite helpful to someone in need of enhancing their intuitive abilities. Sodalite is also very helpful for those who seem to be encountering many difficulties in their life, as it can bring unhealthy, ingrained patterns to the surface to be released, and it can promote deep self-examination to reveal underlying causes to one's problems. When dealing with such covert issues, one should work with the stone consistently, by meditating with it and possibly sleeping with it under the pillow to help bring productive dreams.
Sodalite is great for the metabolism and the immune system, and is believed to regulate blood pressure.
