Misbehaving kids
All emotions are acceptable. All action's aren't.
Unless the expected/acceptable behaviour is crystal clear, a consequence alone for misbehaviour is not enough. We must show/tell kids the right way to do it next time otherwise they will be back in a time out again and again, unable to change the pattern. If someone says something that's incorrect or hurtful it's not enough to just say "don't do that" - we also need to add "...and here are three options to say it better next time". Giving a variety of options is important as there is often more than one solution to a problem so by providing multiple examples we're teaching them to "keep searching for alternatives". When somebody knows that there are two correct answers it's easy to see that may even be there, or four, or...? The ability to come up with multiple answers and to explore alternatives is a tremendously useful skill that prevent us from black-and-white thinking. Long story short: misbehaviour is an opportunity to teach/learn about alternatives and understand that more often that not there are multiple truths.
Expect misbehaviour and trouble, therefore, when it happens it doesn't catch us off guard and we already have a plan to deal with it. It's much like fire protection - every building is built in such way that it's expected that there will be a fire one day, therefore the buildings are fitted with fire extinguishers, there are regular fire drills and signs posted everywhere to tell everyone what to do when there is a fire. There may never be a fire but if there is, the building and its residents are well equipped to deal with it effectively.
Misbehaviour is testing limits. How far can I go without getting into trouble?
If there are no limits or the limits are fuzzy, testing (misbehaving) will never end because the child needs to pin down where his/her parents are and where he/she is and should be. A good way to stop curb misbehavioiur is to set and enforce clear limits that don't change often or don't change at all.
Dealing with it
Find the right words - don't repeat the wrong ones louder.
Misbehaviour must always bear a consequence relative in severity to the mischief itself. But we have to be very careful, especially when dealing with young children. Punishment comes so easily and few people learn about or know how to discipline well. People think it's easy but often it is not. To discipline others we first need to discipline ourselves. If we are not in full control of ourselves we aren't qualified to control others. It's very important to only ever punish for something if the correct action is understood without a shadow of a doubt. If the child is not taught and doesn't fully understand that walking on the carpet with muddy shoes is not right then he/she mustn't be punished for walking on the carpet with muddy shoes. (I heard a similar example from our dog trainer: don't punish for digging in the back yard if it's not crystal clear that digging is an unacceptable behaviour.) Kids need be told about certain rules many times before they understand fully what you mean. Very young kids don't understand complex reasoning or we cannot be sure if they do. It's better to wait until we know for sure that something is understood and only then inflict punishment. I use the word punishment, which is a strong word - but you'll see as you read on that punishment doesn't - and shouldn't - have to be harsh at all.
Do not skip disciplining because it's not convenient to do so. If the correct way to deal with a screaming toddler in a mall is to go home then go home. Shopping may not be done but we cannot sent the message that "it's OK to misbehave in the grocery store and you'll get away with it".
Punishment should happen immediately with as little delay as possible. With older kids the delay can be longer. With adults the delay can be months, even years. If we put a criminal in prison two years after they killed someone they will know reason for their punishment. If we give a one year old a time out 20 minutes after their mischief they won't have any idea why they're being punished.
The punishment should be undesirable to the child. We can't punish a child by taking him for a walk when he is screaming for a toy. Walks are cool. They won't be perceived as punishment. Or worse yet, if they will be perceived as punishment then walks will be associated with negative emotions later. (dog training example again: we can't punish a dog that's chewing on the couch by giving him a tennis ball to chew on, the dog will think "Oh, they brought me a toy as a reward for chewing on the couch! How cool is that!)
It is very helpful to explain every time why we give a time out to eliminate any confusion and create misunderstanding. "I'm now putting you in a timeout because..."
By the way, disciplining - just as feedback - aren't, shouldn't and musn't always be negative. Disciplining is not a negative action in itself. Here is a definition of disciplining from an online source: "Disciplining is training that corrects, molds, or perfects the mental faculties or moral character - it is a system of rules governing conduct and activities." It doesn't say anywhere that it's a negative action.
Time outs: a gentle but effective way to control children
Time outs revoke freedom. And limiting freedom is what we want to do when kids misbehave. "You are not free to do X". It's like jail for adults except much shorter. Time restraints teach the child that she is not free to do whatever she wants - there are restrictions and limitations. It's easy to understand and doesn't hurt. The key is to use a very short period of time at first and gradually increase it as time goes on.
For example: "Stay in this corner facing the wall until I say you can come back and play" (5 seconds later) "OK, you can come back now and play"
This method teaches a lesson, teaches patience while maintaining parental authority at all times. The child will do exactly as told during the entire duration (few seconds) of the timeout. The child doesn't even have a chance to talk back. It's quick and keeps control in adult hands.
Since time is relative (each of us percive the passing of time differently) you may want to use an unbiased, external measuring device, a.k.a. a stopwatch or an egg timer or your phone. That way both you and your child can rely on the timer and this will eliminate the chance for argument as in "that wasn't 30 seconds!" or "it's been 2 minutes already!". The egg timer doesn't pick sides, which is a great selling feature manufacturers fail to mention at the back of the packaging:)
This is for older kids, definitely not something I would expect from my toddler. Older kids understand apology better. Apology is a way to admitting responsibility for our actions when our actions end up hurting someone. A meaningful apology teaches a great lesson and will be remembered for a long time. Always apologize to the person whom you offended and always in front of the same people that were present when you committed the "crime." If you talk back to mommy in front of daddy, apologize to mom when dad is there. If you disobey dad when no one else is around apologize to dad when no one else is around. The same is true in adult - life: The quickest and surest way to get someone to dislike you is to humiliate them in public and apologizing in private.
It's critical that parents also apologize to kids. No parent is perfect and we must admit to kids when we were wrong or did something wrong. Our apologizes must be as meaningful and sincere as we expect our kids to apologize to us or to each other. Any decent apology should include acknoledging an error and a promise to try to avoid it in the future. An apology should never include an excuse or shift blame, never use the word "but.
Offer alernatives: What can you/we do next time to avoid issues?
Going outside: Children need to move and have tons of energy. Indoors - no matter how big your house is - is confined and there are things that can break or get dirty, etc. On a soccer field nothing can break and kids can run around all they want. Often when things start to get out of hand in the living room we go out and while the child is not calmer outdoors they have the means to burn off their energies.
Childproofing the house: If fragile stuff is below the 4' mark it will break. If outlets aren't covered you'll be paranoid about accidents. If knives are in the bottom drawer you'll also be paranoid about accidents. Set up your house in a way that no matter what you kid does he cannot hurt himself, other people or damage the house. You'll never ever say "don't open that", "don't touch that" or "stay away from there".
Routines: If bedtime is at 8pm every single day, if we always eat breakfast before going to daycare, if dirty clothes always go in the hamper, etc. then these routine activities will become so embedded in everyday life they won't be challanged.
Have a dirty corner in the house: where you can carve pumpkins, paint, cook, play with water, etc. No matter what you do kids will get dirty and get their surroundings dirty but they don't care where they make a mess. You want to play with food dye and bubbles? Sure, go over there to the dirty corner and knock yourself out. Much like childproofing the house this simple environment control is very effective in reducing trouble.
Manage expectations: Announce upfront in very granular chunks what you'll do in the next 2 minutes, 30 minues, hour or day. It's amazing how effective these announcements are! "We will now eat breakfast then you wipe the peanut butter off your hands, then go upstairs, take off your PJs then I put on new clothes on you then we rake the leaves". Kids will have a clear picture of what's about to happen and from breakfast time to raking leaves they'll never once ask to play with a puzzle - which you'll have to decline because you want to rake leaves but nobody knows of your secret plan.
Switching channels: Switch to another(different type of) activity if one activity becomes trouble. For example if things are getting out of hand when you're playing with the train set and you're starting to get desparate, put the train set away and start dancing.
Set the right example: The "do as I say not as I do" model doesn't work.

Fishing on May 18, out of Bennett's Point, the annual No Rules Offshore fishing tournament added a new title. Now the event will also be known as the Billy Baldwin Memorial, marking the recent passing of the B&B Seafood founder and longtime tournament host. There are no rules for this event, except that the heaviest fish wins!
Boats paid a $100 entry fee to fish, and the 46-foot Bertram named Dealer's Choice brought back an Ace to play at the weigh-in. Their 59-pound dolphin was the overall winner, earning Scott Rizer and crew over $2500 in cash. Finding themselves flush, the Dealer's Choice crew elected to donate a portion of their winnings to the S.C. Memorial Reef.
The Billy Baldwin Memorial No Rules tourney had already decided that 2013 would be the year that they send money to the establishment of the South Carolina Memorial Reef, off the coast and in deepwater where offshore species thrive. Robbie Hooker explained that tourney sponsors, t-shirt sales, raffle ticket sales and other donations equaled about $3500. When the Dealer's Choice crew finished playing their hand, the total donation from these Colletonians was $5000.
The S.C. Memorial Reef has been in the planning stages since 2009, raising funds to put in place a brand new offshore artificial reef. With a deadline coming up this August to begin placing structures at the offshore location in 300-feet of water, there has been an uptick in recent donations towards this cause. The premise of the Memorial Reef is to provide a protected fishing area for offshore enthusiasts to memorialize those who have passed away, like Mr. Baldwin.
The offshore fishing community has been holding fundraisers during the summer Governor's Cup events, and this year the S.C. Memorial Reef auction is planned for June 22. Coinciding with the Carolina Billfish Classic at Toler's Cover near Sullivan's Island, the auction will be held at 7 p.m. at Gold Bug Island, and includes food, drink, and a lively silent and live auction for the sake of bluewater conservation. Tickets are $30 apiece and $50 for a couple, and include live music from Charleston Groove Factory.
Despite a recent $50,000-donation from the S.C. Governor's Cup Advisory Board to the S.C. Memorial Reef, they are still looking for additional funding and sponsors. Some offshore boat owners are stepping up, like Gage Blue from the Sadie Beth who donated 19 shipping containers to the reef project. The value of the containers is $16,500, but the long-term value of these artificial reef structures on the ocean floor is immeasurable. Mr. John Hill from the El Tejano contributed $10,000 towards the cost of towing the materials on barges out to sea later in August.
Of course, many others have been providing donations of their time and positive energy for several years now, in hopes of establishing an offshore fishing spot that will benefit generations of offshore anglers. As final preparations are being made, now is the time to purchase a special cross bearing your loved one's name, to be welded to the reef materials by Cooper Iron Works. The cost for a cross is $200, and for more information visit the Internet at www.scmemorialreef.com.

The Quiet Fact That Obama Should SHOUT About
Two articles published late yesterday in the New York Times, when juxtaposed with each other, pretty much encapsulate my frustration with this campaign. One, titled "New Federal Rules for Debt Collectors," by Edward Wyatt, reports:
Debt collection agencies, whose sometimes aggressive tactics have earned them scrutiny from consumer protection groups and state regulators, will come under federal supervision for the first time beginning Jan. 2, when the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau begins oversight.
The next several paragraphs of the article say:
In addition to companies that specialize in collecting money from consumers for personal, family or household debt, the consumer bureau will begin monitoring debt collectors that contract with the Education Department to collect overdue student loans. The department has more than $850 billion in student loans outstanding, officials said.
"Millions of consumers are affected by debt collection, and we want to make sure they are treated fairly," Richard Cordray, the director of the consumer bureau, said in a statement issued before the public release of the bureau's rules on Wednesday. "We want all companies to realize that the better business choice is to follow the law — not break it."
The authority to oversee debt collection agencies comes under the portion of the Dodd-Frank regulatory law that deals with so-called nonbank financial companies.
The consumer agency will examine companies to ensure that they properly identify themselves to consumers and properly disclose the amount of debt owed. In addition, collectors must have a process to resolve disputes and communicate "civilly and honestly" with consumers.
Wow, I said to myself when I read the article last night. Obama will mention this when he campaigns in Ohio, in Virginia, in Nevada. Especially, please, in Ohio and Nevada. And all of us who are on the "list-serve" of the campaign will receive notice of the article. Or at least of the fact that the article is about.
But we didn't. Instead, we received a lot of stuff about the Mourdock controvery and about Romney's refusal to withdraw his support of Mourdock. Which was fine, but not to the exclusion of the subject of the Wyatt article.
Wyatt is not a political reporter or pundit. He's a hard-news reporter, and in that article he reported hard facts. Katharine Q. Seelye, who wrote the other Times article that got my attention, is a political reporter. Her article is titled "Crucial Subset: Female Voters Still Deciding," and it focuses on what she terms "waitress moms." Seelye's report is from New Hampshire.
Indeed. What Obama needs most in swing states such as Ohio, Nevada, Virginia and New Hampshire is to have white so-called working-class voters—men and woman—step into the voting booth and quietly, maybe even suddenly, decide to vote for him. And the way to do that, at least with respect to those whose main concern is their own precarious economic situation, is to highlight concrete facts that actually could matter all-too-concretely in their lives.
Like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and other important legislation and regulations that limits the power of banks and other financial institutions, and that Romney surely will try to reverse. What about the law that became effective in the summer of 2011 that significantly limits bank fees, for example on checking account inadvertent overdrafts—something that matters even to people who are not waitress moms?
PrioritiesUSA, the pro-Obama PAC, has a new ad that I love. But so many of the pro-Obama ads lately have left me really frustrated, because they mostly focus on some particular phrase rather than on making a point of fact. Slate yesterday had an article about Romney's infamous Nov. 18, 2008 "Let Detroit Fail" New York Times op-ed, and that a huge number of people accepted Romney's and Obama's Monday-night invitation to check out the op-ed itself. In a comment to the Slate article, I wrote:
What bothers me even more than that Romney is lying about what his position is is that this is the guy who claims that his business expertise shows that he knows how to create 12 million jobs.
This guy who thought a federal bailout by the Bush administration to tide the companies over, and who thought that the bailout in early 2009, would virtually guarantee the demise of the Big Three, is so adept at understanding business and how to create jobs that he should become president, on that basis???
Why on earth the Obama campaign isn't putting up ads on this is a real mystery to me.
This guy who thought a federal bailout by the Bush administration to tide the companies over, and who thought that the bailout in early 2009, would virtually guarantee the demise of the Big Three, is so adept at understanding business and how to create jobs that he should become president, on that basis???
Why on earth the Obama campaign isn't putting up ads on this is a real mystery to me.
To which someone responded that the campaign was doing just that in Michigan and Ohio. To which I replied:
No, the ads focus only on the "Let Detroit go bankrupt" language–which lets Romney get away with doing an "It depends on what the meaning of 'bankruptcy' is" routine. That's soooo not enough to make Obama's point.
The polls now are looking like enough people are figuring this out for themselves; the op-ed speaks for itself, quite well, thank you very much. And Obama's current focus on trust—pointing out that the words "trust" and "Romney" are mutually exclusive—is terrific.
But Obama could put this election away within the next few days with a few clearly-stated, specific facts of this sort, in ads and in campaign appearances.

I started looking for a piece of gym equipment nearly a year ago. I had every intention of joining a gym, but I just never seemed to have the time. I wanted to lose some weight, but I also wanted to get toned. I did not want to go jogging to do this, and I am not the type to dance in front of my TV as I sweat. That left buying a piece of equipment, so I started researching the best pieces. That is how I ended up getting the Total Gym 1400 Deluxe, which has turned out to be even better than I was expecting.
As soon as I saw a picture of it, I recognized it as the one that Chuck Norris promotes. While I wish I could have a body like his, I knew that I would be satisfied with just losing at least 20 pounds and getting better toned all the way around. The reason why this piece of equipment is the one that I chose is because it can exercise every part of my body that I wanted to focus on. It also did not matter that I am not a strapping young man any longer.
This machine does not discriminate because of a person's age or body type. It also does not require a lot of room because it does fold up. That is one of the biggest advantages for me because I just have a small one bedroom apartment. Rather than dancing to some oldies music in front of my TV, I can just set up the Total Gym in front of the TV and listen to music as I get a great workout on it. It does work too, because I have lost all the weight I have wanted to lose, and I have never looked better!

After another ugly win, 74-57 against Tulsa, the Storm's magic number to clinch a playoff berth is four. So any combination of Storm wins and Los Angeles losses totaling four, would seal a slot for Seattle. The Sparks play the Shock on Friday. If that's a win, the weekend if ripe for the Storm to earn its berth by defeating the Sparks in a home-and-home set. "They're trying to make the playoffs, so for them, these games are even bigger," said Bird of the fifth-placed Sparks, who recently returned Candace Parker from knee surgery. "When so much is on the line, you know it's going to be aggressive. For us, it's an opportunity to not only get a win, but give another team a loss." But while defense wins games, you still have to make at least one point more than your opponent. Add everyone but Lauren Jackson and Wright appear to have struggles at some point in doing that. Jackson led all scorers with 14 points on 4 for 9 shooting from the field in 15 minutes. Wright added 12 on 5 for 7 FGs, but the other starters were trying to build a new brick arena. Officiating was oddly on the Storm's side, getting to the line for a season-high 22 makes. Tulsa was 8 for 8, irking Edwards, "The disparity in free throws pisses me off," she said. "This is a championship-contending team and we have to give them respect for who they are, but we went, played hard and fought. I'm a little upset about (the fouls). I'm not even mad at my team, I'm just mad about the dynamics of the game." The Shock (1-25) didn't stick around much longer to discuss, bolting before all of the fans had even left KeyArena. That's what a record 20-game losing streak will do. Seattle is off on Friday, practicing Saturday in preparation for two big games against LA. The Storm (16-12) already moved into a tie with Phoenix (15-11) for second in the West, both teams 5.5-games back from Minnesota's lead. A FIRST: Forever seven-day contract G Allie Quigley scored her first points of the season, the final being a fast break layin off a steal to serve as the game's final points. The former DePaul star finished with four points, two off free throws. Now everyone on the Storm roster has logged points this summer. JACKSON RESTS: Swoopes (12 points) is warming up offensively, but it looks like Lauren Jackson will sit the remainder of the game out since the Storm is up 64-53 with 2:56 left. The Aussie has a team-high 14 points in 15 minutes. Wright is second in scoring with 12. Robinson has nine boards. DOUBLE TECH: Jackson isn't friends with Shock F Abi Olajuwon, at least not after locking elbows and needing to be separated by Bird and officias. They were both awarded with technical fouls with 4.6 seconds left in the third quarter. Seattle outscored the visitors 28-16 in the quarter, though, to build a 56-41 lead. Jackson had nine of her team-high 14 points in the quarter while Seattle held Tiffany Jackson scoreless. YOU READY?: Edwards walked up to Cambage on the court and asked her a few times if the rookie was ready, "Are you sure you're ready?" Edwards questioned the player before inserting her in the game. Cambage isn't having the double-double night she had the last time she was in Seattle, not taking a shot attempt in the opening half. Seattle is up 38-32, Cambage making her first basket of the game. KID FRIENDLY: Maybe because I don't have kids, but how does helping them cheat on a spelling bee competition help kids with anything? Am I the grouch? Anyway, the Storm held its annual "bee" at halftime, making one a loser and four others winners. Funniest part was when a kid was asked to spell "referee" and the Key broke out in boos. HALFTIME: I was talking to the Shock's PR rep before the game and he was pitching Tiffany Jackson for the WNBA's Most Improved award, knowing the Shock's record and lack of exposure would probably hurt her chances. It seems the Storm is helping the campaign — although Robinson is an equally good candidate. Seattle is allowing her cuts in the paint and put-backs for a game-leading 10 points on 5-of-6 shooting from the field at the break. Jackson also has six rebounds. The effort has Tulsa within 28-25 at the break. The Shock have committed 13 turnovers for 11 Seattle points. The Storm has limited turnovers, but is shooting 34.4 percent from the field — 3 of 16 from the field in the second quarter. Mainly if Cash (0-for-5 FG) would make a basket, the Storm could stretch this game out. Bird, Jackson, and Smith have five points apiece to pace Seattle. MINI RUN: Reserve Katie Smith capped a 5-0 run, picking off a Tulsa pass and sprinting down court to patiently pop a three-pointer. The shot put the Storm up 25-17 with 4:12 remaining in teh second quarter. Cash (0-for-4) is the only player who's been put in the game who hasn't scored. BIRD RETURNS: Bird will be back on the court, returning to the lineup with Jackson. Seattle is up 20-17 with 6:37 remaining in the second quarter. Reserve Ashley Robinson helped frustrate Cambage inside, forcing turnovers. A-ROb also made some nice moves on the offensive end. but the Storm as a whole is starting to miss buckets, limiting it from extending the lead. Seattle is shooting 34.6 percent from the field now, compared to Tulsa's 43.8. Holt hasn't returned, taking what appeared to be aspirin on the bench to heal a possible headache. BIRD HURT?: Bird jumped for a pass as Shock PG Andrea Riley also went for the ball, smacking Bird in the eye. At first, Bird seemed to be OK, then she crouched over and starting wincing. Agler called a timeout and she's being seen by trainer Tom Spencer. Seattle ended the quarter with a one-point lead. Bird leads with five points. Jackson leads Tulsa with six points and four boards. She's 3-for-3 from the field. THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT: Both teams are shooting 50 percent from the field and aggressively on defense to create a fun game. Who said the Shock stink? It's a bugger for the Storm, though, they're doing everything the can — including popping three-pointers — and only lead 18-17 with 3.9 seconds left in the first quarter. HOLT DOWN: Jackson and Wright tangled with Holt as the Shock player tried to cut through a screen. It looked scary for Jackson and Holt, but no call was made and Wright picked up the dribble, taking it down court for a fast break layin. Seattle leads 9-6 with 6:48 remaining in the opening quarter. Wright leads with four points. MUCH lOVE: Swoopes was introduced and the Key went wild, standing and applauding her return to Seattle. She played two sporadically seasons for the Storm. Once the public address announcer announced Lacey, however, the place was more quiet than a monastery. G Betty Lennox, who was the 2004 WNBA Finals MVP for Seattle, is not here. She suffered a concussion in the Lynx loss Aug. 14 and is in Tulsa recovering. It's a gorgeous day, perfect for moving…up to second place in the Western Conference. The Storm (15-12) sits a half-game behind Phoenix (15-11) for the coveted slot and could tie for the position since the Mercury didn't play Thursday. Seems to be an easy task considering Tulsa (1-24) is Thursday's opponent at KeyArena. The Shock are on a league-worst 19-game losing streak, haven't won in Seattle since 2009, and Lauren Jackson is in a uniform. Only the Shock have been playing much better since Hall of Famer Teresa Edwards took over the helm. Three of Tulsa's past five games have been decided by six points or less, the Shock creating chances to win against Minnesota (Tuesday) and Los Angeles (Sunday) this week. But they weren't wins. "They're playing well," Storm coach Brian Agler said. "They're big and they're playing with a purpose, which you have to do in this league. They're a good team. Are they a playoff team? No, they're not going to make the playoffs. They can definitely make a difference on who makes the playoffs before it's over with." Jackson completed her routine warmup with Camille Little pregame and will start. A 6-foot-6 center, Jackson experiences soreness after play, returning last week from hip surgery in June. She played 24 minutes in Tuesday's 63-55 win against San Antonio, scoring 13 points with seven boards. Agler said Thursday that he'd like to keep her minutes in the 20-range. "This league is really competitive, so if they know there's a weakness or a vulnerability, people are going to go for it, definitely," Jackson said. "I've definitely felt that the last few games. I don't think anybody would intentionally go out to hurt me, but I think people are very aware that I've got a bum left hip and it's a rather big joint." Agler said he's going for the win and knows having Jackson will make it easier than when the Storm dragged itself through 20 games without her, going 9-11. Plus Jackson knows fellow Aussie Liz Cambage, the 6-8 Shock rookie, the best. But Cambage was the player Jackson tangled with in suffering a torn labrum on June 21. Agler also hopes he has the real Swin Cash on Thursday, the one with offensive game to complement the defense. Cash has been in a scoring slump, shooting 24 percent from the the past six games. She was on the court pregame taking shots with assistant coach Jenny Boucek and most dropped. "Every player goes through periods like this in their career," Agler said of Cash. "The one thing Swin has done, which is a good thing, is she's started to focus on other areas like she's rebounded the ball extremely well the last few games. She's penetrated and really made some great kick-out passes to some shooters. Part of (her slump) is we haven't been able to get out in transition because the games have been somewhat halfcourt games. She's good in (transition). But the more people start focusing on Lauren and surrounding her, it's going to open up a lot of things for a lot of people." Is Thursday that breakout? Let's see, starting with your starting lineups: SHOCK F Jennifer Lacey F Sheryl Swoopes C Tiffany Jackson G Ivory Latta G Amber Holt STORM F Swin Cash F Camille Little C Lauren Jackson G Sue Bird G Tanisha Wright Tonight's officials are Susuan Blauch, Maj Forsberg, Tim Green.

Venus in Fur — which debuted Off Broadway last year — may have a new leading man (Hugh Dancy!) when it opens on the Main Stem on Nov. 8, but the comedy is keeping all its old sex appeal. "It's a very sexy, very funny, and ultimately dangerous dance they do," says director Walter Bobbie of Dancy's playwright Thomas and Nina Arianda's actress Vanda in the backstage two-hander. Intellectual Thomas has been unsuccessfully trying to cast the female lead in his adaptation of the 19th Century erotic novel Venus in Furs. Flighty Vanda is his final audition of the day — and the last woman in the world he hopes to see. See EW's First Look below:
"Thomas basically wants to go have a drink when this girl comes stumbling in," laughs Dancy. "And she seems to embody all the things about young actresses that he's been complaining about in a rather snobbish way."
On the other hand, she's also "very passionate and wants the job" explains Arianda. "The audition's play-within-the-play and the play itself converge, taking them down a corridor that neither of them ever expected to go down at the beginning," adds writer David Ives. "And the rest I can't tell you because I'd give away the ending."

At the age of 7, Rachel was taken from her family and sent to live on Kalaupapa, on the remote Island of Moloka'I, here she was sent to die as she had contracted leprosy, but her life was just beginning.
Rachel Kalama had a happy childhood; her father was away at sea a lot and often brought Rachel and her family gifts. Her mother deeply cared for her and her brothers and sisters.
It was known that Leprosy was doing the rounds, the symptoms were rose coloured patches and if stabbed with a pin, the person would not feel it.
When Rachel first began showing signs, her mother tried her best to conceal it, until of course she was found out. Therefore, at the age of 7, Rachel was packed off to Kalaupapa.
Rachel was devastated, especially as it was expensive for Rachel's family to visit. She lived in the home, cared for by nurses and developed a strong friendship with them.
As we follow Rachel's journey we watch her find love, friendship, loss and triumph as she does her best to get off the Island. Rachel vowed that one day she will make it back home to her family.
However not everyone died of leprosy straight away, some people lasted years and Kalaupapa became a community with fighting spirit.
Moloka'I is based on a true story. Yes, people did believe that putting affected people into quarantine was the answer and it seemed to work as the leprosy cases became less and less.
The author, Alan Brennert has done lots of research to ensure the storyline is authentic.
I found this book hard to get into at first, as the first part is setting the scenes, characters and story; I wasn't sure where the storyline was going but as I continued it just became better.
They say the sign of a good book is one that can make you cry and I certainly did.

Moniker: Identity Lost & Found
June 23 through October 21, 2018
Moniker: Identity Lost and Found, an unprecedented documentation of mark-making and monikers—grassroots movements which began in rail yards in the late 19th century and continue today. During the late 1800s, blue-collar workers and travelers began drawing unique symbols and words on the sides of train cars in chalk, ephemeral marks that crossed the countryside, exposed to anyone who idly watched passing trains. Over time, mark-making developed into a coded system of communication. Through repetition, recognition, and transcontinental exposure, symbols took on a deeper meaning. A drawing became a moniker: a name, an identity.
This exhibit features Braille guides for all introductory panels, touchable artifacts on our lower level, a tactile book of 37 monikers, and a complete audio-guided tour (available here).
Blind Spot: A Matter of Perception
February 18 through May 23, 2017
|Blind Spot: A Matter of Perception, presents ten abstract paintings from the Massillon Museum collection, representing regionally-, nationally-, and internationally-recognized artists. These paintings are made accessible to patrons with blindness or low vision for the first time, through multisensory experience. Following conversations with the Massillon Museum curator, sounds in the sonic iPad touch-screen apps that accompany each painting were selected by co-curators Barry and Jan Stirbens of Stark County, Ohio, who have both been blind since birth. Braille and large-type labels, as well as small-scale aluminum tactile models of each painting, help to experience the artworks through multiple senses. Read more about this exhibition here.

Gyms And Health In Hamburg
Use over 250 gyms. As soon as a crew has at the least one Pokémon in the gym, it would change to the corresponding color. Increase your sport in the membership with weight exercises and more, or stream a studio class at residence when the day will get away from you. All GX24 studio lessons are included with membership. It's going to then hold dropping motivation (and CP) pretty shortly over time.
Only 4 folks will ever be working out without delay whilst being instructed by a private trainer, and every exercise is simply 12 minutes long. The phrase is derived from the traditional Greek gymnasium 1 They're commonly found in athletic and health facilities, and as activity and learning areas in instructional establishments. Your Pokémon will stay on the Gymnasium till it loses all it is motivation and gets defeated.
You can increase a Pokémon from the identical-staff's motivation, including your own, by feeding it a Pinap, Nahab, or Razz Berry, or fill it up completely by feeding it a new Golden Razz Berry. Every time you defeat a rival Pokémon, you reduce its motivation. I like to recommend requesting a more thorough evaluation with one of the trainers …Read More →

The best anti aging moisturizer will not only reduce the appearance of the effects of aging but also improve the overall health of your skin. Finding the best anti aging moisturizer can be difficult however, depending on your skin type and specific needs. Luckily, we've compiled a list of the eight best moisturizers to give you a youthful-looking skin.
1. Multi Correxion 5-in-1 Daily Moisurizer by ROC
The Multi Correxion 5-in-1 Daily Moisurizer can improve the appearance of the 5 main effects of aging and is ideal for people looking for a more "non-greasy" cream or lotion. It has a matte effect and a light, airy texture. ROC's Hexinol technology specifically targets the visible signs of aging, hydrates the skin, and keeps it looking radiant.
- ROC's daily moisturizer can dramatically improve sagging, dryness, tone, wrinkles, and discoloration all over the body.
- It also contains SPF 30 to help protect your skin against the harmful effects of the sun.
- For some people with sensitive skin, the moisturizer may be too strong and cause adverse reactions like redness, itching, or burning.
2. Retinol Surge Moisturizer by Body Merry
Body Merry loaded their Retinol Surge Moisturizer with enough retinol for the whole neighborhood. Retinol is an anti-aging component that reduces lines, wrinkles, and age spots with the acceleration of skin-renewal. It boasts that it is a combination of a serum and moisturizer, with all the long-lasting effects and hydration.
- The Retinol Surge Moisturizer is affordable and produces long-term results that help your skin appear more youthful and radiant.
- In addition to retinol, Body Merry added vitamins A and E, green tea, and hyaluronic acid to keep your face healthy.
- You will need to use the product differently depending on your skin type. Normal-oily skin types should use this morning and night, while dry or sensitive skin types should only use it at night.
- It needs to be worn with sunscreen combination, since it contains zero SPF-coverage.
3. Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Night Cream by Neutrogena
If you're someone who enjoys night creams and are looking for the best anti aging moisturizer to work while you rest, you should try the Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Night Cream by Neutrogena. Neutrogena's products can be found in most stores across the country and are full of moisture-enriching ingredients.
- This night cream can reduce the appearance of the effects of aging and soften your skin in just a few days. It only needs to be applied once daily, at night.
- Neutrogena's moisturizers are wonderful for people with sensitive skin, since the cream is free of oils and fragrances, and is hypoallergenic.
- If you are looking for professional-grade moisturizers that contain higher-strength ingredients, you may want to consider a more "top-shelf" option.
4. SkinActive Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Daily Moisturizer by Garnier
The SkinActive moisturizer deserves a spot on the best anti aging moisturizer list, since it ranked highly on multiple tests including a test done by the Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Night Cream. It is designed to absorb fast into the skin and hydrate your skin with vitamins C and E.
- This moisturizer can also double as a sunscreen since it contains SPF-15 coverage.
- It is made with a serious amount of antioxidants that smooth skin and even tone.
- Clinical results show that you can start to notice a difference in the appearance in your skin in as little as a week.
- Garnier's daily moisturizer can help with radiance, skin tone and texture, but may not perform great on heavy lines and wrinkles.
- It should be used twice daily but will need to reapply often when used as a sun protection.
5. Repair & Protect Moisturizer by StriVectin
Not all moisturizers are created equal, and if you're in the market for the best anti aging moisturizer in the high-end category, give Repair & Protect Moisturizer a try. It excels in improving overall skin-texture; tremendously moisturizing and pore decreasing.
- Repair & Protect also includes broad spectrum SPF 30, so it doubles as a protectant against the sun.
- The special antioxidant ingredients reduce the appearance of wrinkles by enhancing the natural collagen and elastin in your skin.
- It can be used as little as only once each day.
- This moisturizer has a much thicker and pastier texture that some people cannot get used to.
- It is pricier than others on the list, so it's less friendly on your budget.
6. Absolutely Ageless Daily Moisturizer by Aveeno
Aveeno has created sensitive-skin products for decades. Their formulas are gentle and generally ideal for most people. The Absolutely Ageless Daily Moisturizer is no exception, with ingredients like blackberry, dill, and a ton of other vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
- Aveeno added SPF 30, so you have superior protection against the sun throughout the day.
- The formula is hypoallergenic, so it can be used on even the most sensitive skin.
- It is dermatologically-tested to reduce the appearance of the effects of collagen/elastin loss.
- It may be required to be applied multiple times a day to keep your face completely moisturized.
7. Dermal Repair Cream by Sente
For those of you looking for a more professional-grade product, look no further than the Dermal Repair Cream by Sente. It is clinically proven to improve the appearance of skin, whether it is age- or sun-related.
- The cream is paraben and fragrance free, and it won't cause you to breakout.
- It uses HAS (heperan sulfate analog) technology to firm and improve skin texture, diminish wrinkles, and enhance skin tone.
- You can notice results in as little as 2 weeks (with the average time being around 4 weeks).
- Sente's products are on the expensive side, so do not invest unless you plan to continue using it.
- Since this product is professional-grade, it may be too strong for some.
8. Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer by Curel
One of the best ways to fight aging effects is to keep your skin moisturized, since fine lines and wrinkles are both drier and more pronounced with dry skin. Curel created the best anti aging moisturizer for after-shower formula to give you an extra amount of moisture to reverse moderate signs of aging and prevent future ones.
- This amazing moisturizer is designed to be used all over the body, unlike many on the list that are designed for the face/neck areas only.
- Curel's extreme-moisturizing formula is extremely strong, but also gentle enough to most skin-types. It is greaseless, absorbent, and fragrance-free.
- The moisturizer is not specifically designed for anti-aging and does not generally reduce the appearance of dark spots or bags.
- For best results, it should be used immediately after showering, which can be a hard-to-remember part of your routine.
The Bottom Line
From drugstore mainstays to top-shelf commodities, this list will make finding the best option for eliminating those wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots, bags, and poor tone easy and simple. Before choosing a product, take your personal needs into consideration. The best anti aging moisturizer from this list can get you back to feeling your youthful, radiant self in no time flat.

College of Natural & Social Sciences
Department of History
Office Location: KH A4025
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
I am Assistant Professor of History here at Cal State Los Angeles. I teach Ancient History (Greek, Roman, Near Eastern) as well as Big History (and occasionally World History to 1500 AD). I received my PhD at Berkeley in 2011. That is also where I completed my BA and MA. My dissertation was entitled "Demographic Fluctuation and Institutional Response in Sparta" (Supervisors: Emily Mackil, Erich Gruen, Walter Scheidel, and Kenneth Wachter). I am a fully trained Classicist (Greco-Roman specialist) and enjoy, and have taught, Ancient Greek, Latin, and Greco-Roman history, literature, religion, art, and philosophy. My specialty up until and including the present is Ancient Sparta. Lately I've found great interest and pleasure in teaching and studying the Ancient Near East and Big History. I am learning Egyptian hieroglyphs slowly on my own, which is a lot of fun. Selected publications: "Eugenic Ideology in the Hellenistic Spartan Reforms." Historia: Zeitschrift für Alte Geschichte 66, 2017, 258-280. This article argues that an old Spartan eugenic cultural ideology influenced the reforms of the Hellenistic kings of Sparta Agis IV and Kleomenes III in the third century BC. It is based upon half of one chapter of my dissertation. Biographical Information: I did not go to college right after high school, but worked full-time in an organic grocery store in San Francisco. I eventually began going to junior college because there were not enough people to talk to about history and literature at that store. So I was a "returning student" taking classes that would amuse me (Italian, Novel-Writing, Sociology, 20th Century Art, etc.) and had no idea that I would earn a PhD and become a professor. I transferred from junior college to Berkeley when I was 30: thus I was 10 years older than the other juniors. I majored in History, with a concentration on ancient history, and also took lots and lots of Latin and Ancient Greek language courses. I then applied for Berkeley's "Graduate Group in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology" program, was accepted, and spent 2 years working on the MA, and then 6 more (which was quite standard) working on the PhD (the last two years were occupied with writing the dissertation). I met many remarkable professors there, and keep in touch with them. I then taught at Berkeley as an adjunct for one year, and then was hired for a full-time tenure-track position at Cal State L.A. My favorite students tend to be the ones who are deeply intellectually curious -- who think that the world is a genuinely interesting and wonderfully strange place, and that they are lucky to be alive -- and who work hard, and are civil and amusing. I have met many such students here. It has been a great pleasure. I am particularly proud to see my students grow intellectually. My "hobby" is vintage, primarily the 1910s-1920s through the Second World War, including vintage clothing up to about 1945 and antiques and things like that. My house is museum-like and is full of antique telephones, strange artifacts, reproduction ancient Egyptian statuary, and odd and funny old things of suchlike nature. Over the years, I have collected about 200 neckties from the 1930s and 1940s. I enjoy travel (up to a point) and have been to Poland five times, Greece twice, and a few other countries including Turkey, Italy, Israel, Lithuania, Latvia, Hungary, England, France, Netherlands, Austria, Australia, Jamaica, Mexico, and Canada. Classes taught (all at Cal State L.A. unless otherwise noted) 1.) Upper-division advanced undergrad courses: Ancient Near East Ancient Greece (2700 BC - circa 371 BC) Age of Alexander (Circa 371 BC - 30 BC) Early Rome Roman Empire Greek and Roman Religions Classical Civilization and the Modern World Big History: from the Big Bang to the Heat Death of the Universe 2.) Lower Division: World History to 1500 AD Beginning Greek (tutorial) Latin 1 (tutorial) Latin 1 (at Berkeley) Latin 2 (at Berkeley) 3.) Graduate seminars: Methods, Sources, and Problems in the Study of Greek and Roman Civilizations Ancient Mediterranean Religions Sparta and Ancient Slavery Ancient Mediterranean Economies

Xanax is the brand name for alprazolam, a medication that primarily treats panic and anxiety disorders. It belongs to a drug class called benzodiazepine. Xanax amplifies the activity of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid or GABA. One of GABAs many functions is regulating anxiety. When Xanax flows into the brain GABA gets a boost, and the patient feels calmer. People who've struggled to sleep can often relax enough to let their minds rest with the help of this medication. Aside from helping panic and anxiety disorders, Xanax is also used to treat patients who are suffering from involuntary muscle spasms, seizures and alcohol withdrawal.
Doctors often prescribe Xanax as a temporary part of a larger plan to treat anxiety. The core of the long-term plan is to treat a patient with a medication such as Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil or Effexor. But, those medications require weeks to ramp up and start addressing the symptoms. In some cases, the physician will decide to give a patient this fast-acting benzodiazepines to provide immediate relief while the other anti-anxiety medication ramps up. But, after a month or two of Xanax use, patients have often developed a dependency. In most cases, the patient can discontinue its use over time. While the experience is uncomfortable, this mild detox can usually happen at home by following the doctor's directions. If an individual attempts to discontinue Xanax abruptly, they will feel immediate side effects.
The best way to discontinue use is to taper the dosage. This means reducing the dose by small amounts on a regular basis, to help the body adjust accordingly. After a few weeks, the patient can stop taking Xanax altogether. Tapering is an extremely effective method. Doctors typically recommend that the dose be decreased by no more than 0.5 mg every three days
Xanax has a short window of effectiveness. It is very successful at helping people sleep for about two weeks. Then it starts to lose its potency. For people who live with anxiety, Xanax will usually help them for two to four months. Using it for longer requires the doctor to write a prescription for a higher medication dose to compensate for the dependency the patient has developed. Unfortunately, dependency is a significant step toward addiction.
Can Patients Drink Alcohol While Taking Xanax?
People taking Xanax should avoid alcohol. Xanax amplifies the effects of alcohol, and combining them can be disastrous. If it takes two drinks to give a person a buzz, two drinks plus a Xanax just might make them borderline drunk. If someone goes out on the town and wants to avoid getting pulled over and answering the tough questions, they should not drink if they're taking Xanax. Sure, two drinks keeps most people's driving judgment clear and their blood alcohol level within the legal limits. But, add in this powerful benzodiazepine, and their impairment level may make them dangerous. Moreover, a peace officer might pull them over and subject them to an uncomfortable level of scrutiny.
Alcohol and Xanax both slow breathing and heart rate. While rare, comas and death can be consequences of mixing these two potent chemicals. It's best not to drink if Xanax is part of an individual's current treatment plan.
Can Xanax Be Addictive?
Just like any other drugs, Xanax can be addictive once it has been abused. Overuse of the drug causes emotional and physical dependency. Xanax dependency can be established as early as two weeks after one starts using it. People who are addicted to this medication can have a hard time in withdrawal since they became too dependent on the drug. Because Xanax has a rapid rate of elimination users really feel the withdrawal symptoms when it wears off. The risk of dependence is higher for those who take more than four milligrams per day, have been taking the medication for a long period of time or have a history of drug or alcohol abuse.
Xanax Withdrawal
If a person discontinues this medication on their own, their body will feel extremely uncomfortable and will experience severe symptoms such as headache, blurred vision, tremors, muscle pain, sensitiveness, insomnia, depression, anxiety, panic, paranoia. Some users have even had seizures.
When it's time for a person to discontinue Xanax or any other habit-forming medication, they should start by speaking with their doctor. He or she will know if the patient will need the assistance of an outpatient or inpatient detox facility. The physicians will also work with the patient to suggest a tapering schedule so the can adjust to gradually smaller doses. For many patients, tapering benzodiazepines is very effective.
Withdrawal symptoms will start to be felt after six to 12 hours from the last dose. Symptoms peak near the second week of withdrawal and will subside eventually over the following days. The severity and duration of withdrawal depend on each person's dosage and duration taking the medication. Some will take a month before the symptoms will be gone but some last for a month or even a year especially if not administered by a medical professional.
How to Help People With Xanax Addiction
If you're close to someone who has been abusing Xanax, your genuine concern can be a lifeline for them. People often start using benzodiazepines to address a serious medical concern. They did not imagine that taking their doctor's suggestion would lead them to an addiction. Remind the person that they used the medication for a wise purpose, and their dependence is only a temporary obstacle. Show them that you're by their side during this time.
Xanax Rumors
If you've heard Xanax mentioned in the news lately, it may have been in a story discussing the strange behavior of a person using the drug. Or, perhaps you read about police raids and arrests where the authorities confiscated illegal Xanax. Within the news stories and social rumor mills, there are some false Xanax myths. For instance, some people incorrectly believe that
Xanax stays in your body for weeks of months. According to the US Food and Drug Administration, the average healthy adult eliminates half of the Xanax in 11.2 hours. After four days, a trace smaller than one percent remains in their bloodstream.
Can a person damage their brain by taking Xanax? If they take it as prescribed by their doctors, there is no evidence that Xanax causes brain damage. All medications have side effects, but brain damage is not one associated with this medication. It simply increases the activity of a valuable neurotransmitter called GABA, which is perfectly healthy. Overdosing on or abusing Xanax could be harmful.
Some real side effects that have been documented in clinical studies include:
- Allergic reactions
- Altered sense of taste
- Change in muscle tone
- Difficulty concentrating
- Double vision
- Fear or anxiety
- Hallucinations
- Hyperexcitement or overstimulation
- Incontinence
- Insomnia or sleeping difficulties
- Jaundice
- Lack of inhibition
- Muscle cramps or spasms
- Rage or other hostile behavior
- Slurred or unusual speech
- Tingling
- Transient elevated liver function tests
- Tremors
- Urination problems
- Warmth
- Weakness
- Yellow eyes and skin
- Seizures

The Tallinn TV Tower, which is managed by AS Levira, has been unable to establish the restaurant's work for some time. The contract with new renter was over even before that place received first guests.
The Tallinn TV Tower that was opened in 2012 after large renovation, closed contract for rent of the restaurant with the former operator of AS Tampe. It happened in fall of last year and has started looking for tenants, and announced new competition.
Two firms took part in competition, from which was selected the one that had debts on taxes and that was founded only a couple of months ago - Kratt Resto OU. This firm is led by the businesswoman Maria Sepper, whose previous enterprises were either declared bankrupt or had difficulties.
The restaurant Taevas was to open in Tallinn's popular TV tower in March, but, despite all the promises, this has not happened even in April. Therefore, the contract with the tenant was terminanted even before the restaurant was opened, because kitchen appliances and furniture, that necessary for work, were not delivered to the place. Also, staff was not recruited.
Tallinn TV Tower starts to search for a new operator again.

What is it?
The U.S. Army is transforming how it attracts, recruits and trains Soldiers to ensure formations are filled with capable and lethal professionals, who require less preparation at their first units of assignment. Through continuous improvement to Basic Combat Training, enhancement of One Station Unit Training (OSUT) and Advanced Individual Training, and a renewed focus on the Army Profession and Ethic, Soldiers arrive at their first operational assignments with greater readiness and lethality.
What are the current and past efforts of the Army?
The increased complexity and lethality of near-peer threats on the multi-domain battlefield requires more highly trained close-combat Soldiers. The Army has undergone several measures to meet the requirement of delivering a more ready force including:
These actions increase Soldier readiness by providing more realistic training and additional preparation of Soldiers to meet the demands of Army operational units.
What are the continued efforts planned by the Army?
Continued efforts to increase Soldier Readiness upon assignment to the operational field ensure new Soldiers will be ready to fight and win. In addition to transforming how the Army finds, attracts, recruits and trains Soldiers, continued efforts include:
Why is this important to the Army?
The Army's future readiness starts with transforming the Accessions Enterprise to meet increased end-strength requirements. Today's Soldiers must train to fight, win and survive in a close-combat environment. Matching recruits' abilities through tools like the OPAT and Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) assists Army recruiters in finding military specialties best suited to recruits physical and vocational aptitudes. Increased rigor throughout Basic Combat Training and the added toughness of the enhanced OSUT ensure tomorrow's Soldiers arrive to the operational force ready for the adversities found on the modern battlefield.

Kitchen Safety for Seniors
The kitchen can best be understood as the heart of the home. It is oftentimes where memories begin and gatherings are fueled. It is utilized many times daily and fulfills some of our most basic needs. But it also poses many hazards—hazards that increase in prevalence with age. Hot surfaces, sharp knives, boiling water, and items just out of reach are accidents in waiting. And seniors, whether through negligence or inability, have a harder time managing them.

Long Term Care Insurance for Home Care
The passage of time is accompanied by many positives: increased knowledge, greater wisdom, and a more complete perspective on life. Unfortunately, it also has its negatives. Of the most prevalent are declining physical abilities that make daily life a more burdensome task. Though not a joyful experience, recognizing the inevitable effects of age can inspire the right preparation—preparation for future needs that may include long term care.

3 Indicators of Care Needs for Seniors
In our experience, most families start professional care for an elderly loved one because of an unexpected injury, illness, or medical condition that threates the safety of an independent lifestyle. Yet other factors are frequently overlooked. They are discreet, and often routine for a person of good health. But for seniors they can be an enormous challenge and signal a decline in abilities restricting the quality of their lives.
Alzheimer's and Home Care - a good match?
How do you know when it's time for a loved one living with Alzheimer's to transition to a long term care solution? Generally, the best indicator is an inability to adequately perform Activities of Daily Living (ADL). ADLs are routine tasks including meal preparation, bathing, taking medications, paying bills, and many others that require daily achievement to maintain a basic quality of life. The regressive nature of Alzheimer's Disease will ultimately lead to struggles with ADLs for all who experience it.

As I've been working on letting go it's opened a whole new space for fun things in my life. So I had this idea to paint my clay pots. As I sat down to do each one I had no plan of how I was going to do them. Letting go of control seems to be the main source that gets in the way of what I really want, and that is to simple "be." Listening to my inner voice, trusting in the process feels difficult when I keep getting in the way. I want to do everything perfect, but I can't, it simple sets me up for failure.As I began my pots I went with the creative flow inside me. There was no rhyme or reason to what I was doing I just expressed. They are as imperfect as they come, but what I learned was to see the beauty that lies behind the imperfection. There are no two pots alike, and no matter how hard someone would try to duplicate what I did there is only one of a kind. Maybe that's the way God went about creating each one of us, He just went with the creative flow and not one of us is alike either. That makes us about as special as each of my pots.

"Truth & Lies"
"Life's Challenges"
Life's challenges. You can't go through life avoiding them. They are part of our human nature that helps us build the character we were born to express. Within the challenges of our life, whether big or small, comes great responsibility. How we choose to forge through our challenge must be weighed against our values and beliefs. The biggest challenge comes from how those chooses affect the people in our life whether it be a few or many. Being true to our self which is essential doesn't give us the right to be selfish, there is no truth in that. Being true to ourself is looking at how our challenge and choices affect everyone involved. There is a right way, and a wrong way to move forward. A test as to whether we are being true to ourselves is when we can look ourselves in the mirror, and say, I like the direction this is taking me. Then you know you are ok, but if not, then what you leave behind is yourself, and lots of brokenness. Challenges are the exercises in our life that can make us or break us. They hold within them some of the hardest trials of our life. Step lightly, with great thought, and always listen to that inner voice it is the guage that will show you which way to go.
"The Way of Serenity" Day 5
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
"Work as if everything depended on you, and pray as if everything depended on God." -Ignatius of Loyola
"The serenity we seek arises partly from knowing that we have done all we can and the rest is up to God. There is a true peace of soul that comes over us when we have put forth our best effort. Like a farmer who has tilled his field and sown his seed. He can now sit back to wait for the crops to grow. When we have done our part we can rest with the assurance that the fruits of our labors ultimately depend on God. A life with God can be conceived as a collaborative effort, a joint venture, with God always the major business partner who works alongside us, and makes up for our deficiencies." Page 28
"Sharing My Journey "
A friend asked me not too long ago, where do you get all the stuff you write about? I told her its from my own personal journey. I share the things I wonder about, the things I've come to believe, the things I've learned, and answers I received. When you find yourself in a place where whatever you're doing flows easily you discover that's exactly where you're suppose to be, and there's nothing else more important to do than using your gift. I've trusted most everyday that something inspirational would come. There's nothing wrong with being human except when we find ourselves disconnected from our main source. For me that would be God.
Being human, we find ourselves in many situations were it's difficult to think of anything else other than our own dilemma. It occupies our mind and we forget all the other good things that out weigh what we are going through. We have to make a conscious effort to reconnect with God, and in doing that we are able to be our true self.
So in my own conscious effort to reconnect today I began by with a prayer of thanks & gratitude for my life. "It's been more good than not," I say to God.
And in that moment of reconnection I hear His voice say, "I've only given you what good you have allowed me to give. There is so much more I want to share, if you will only remain open to me."

David's Hammer: The Case for an Activist Judiciary
(Cato Institute, 2007)
Judicial activism is condemned by both right and left, for good reason: lawless courts are a threat to republican government. But challenging conventional wisdom, constitutional litigator Clint Bolick argues in David's Hammer that far worse is a judiciary that allows the other branches of government to run roughshod over precious liberties. For better or for worse, only a vigorous judiciary can enforce the limits on executive and legislative action, protect constitutional rights, and tame unelected bureaucrats. That, Bolick argues, is exactly the role the framers intended the courts to play. Bolick showcases numerous real-world examples of people whose rights to free speech, economic liberty, equal protection of the law, and private property were violated by government--victims of government oppression whose only recourse is the courts. Join us for a provocative discussion, including incisive critiques from Jeff Rosen, who has argued for judicial restraint in the New Republic and in his book The Most Democratic Branch, and Ed Whelan, who criticizes judicial activism regularly in National Review and the Weekly Standard.
