Teaching Traveling: Do you think you're too old or entrenched in your career and mortgage to travel and teach around the world?
Rory Cummins explains why you're not. Rory, tell us about your background.
Rory: It all started back in 2009. My desire to travel the world and fulfill my dream was a thought that was continually in the front of my mind, though it was one that I had been putting off as "someday." With further inspiration from fellow travelers I'd met and an itching desire to make it happen now and not "someday," I soon decided that it was time take the plunge. I started putting together a list of all the places I wanted to see and experience and finally made a step by step plan to be able to turn this dream into a reality over the next 6 months.
As I began to save and plan, I was also tying up all the lose ends in my daily life that would free me for world travel that I'd hope would last for a year or more. At 33 years old, there was a part of me that was skeptical about taking such a venture this late in life as typical travelers that take a gap year are in their 20s and haven't gotten rooted into a career and mortgages. Still, I wasn't going to let it hold me back and I knew that even traveling solo, which is what I started out doing, shouldn't be an obstacle.
At the time of planning my trip, I had given thought to both volunteering and teaching English along way as I had researched many different countries where this was an option including Taiwan, Korea, China and Thailand. At the time however, I decided to see where my travels would lead me, keeping an open mind along the way and allowing flexibility in my travel route. Today, I am still traveling after having left the U.S. back in the summer of 2011 and I haven't looked back since or regretted my decision to leave. I have since traveled through twenty countries so far, mostly by overland travel and I'm now teaching and tutoring Chinese students in Shenzhen, China.
TT: Fascinating! How did you find this travel opportunity?
R: When I first completed my university studies, I left to travel abroad on a four week solo backpacking trip through Europe. It ended up being the best experience I'd had so far in my life up to that point and it turned into two months of travel after postponing my return trip back home. From that point on, it fed my desire to ultimately travel all over the world, and the "travel bug" had taken over. Unfortunately, my career and social life in my hometown kept me so busy that my world travel dream got put on the back burner.
However, after almost ten years since my first backpacking trip, the desire to go was still there and I decided it was "now or never." There was no more room to make excuses in my life of why I should or should not go. I decided the worst that could happen is that I turn around and come home but the biggest fear was leaving a stable job I'd had the past 5 years and a solid career path. In reality, I realized "work" would always be there and I could pick back up where I left off. When this decision was made, I started researching round the world travel blogs, forums and speaking with fellow travelers for additional inspiration and planning to make the venture a success. I also decided it would be beneficial to write about my experiences to both keep in touch with friends and family along the way as well as to help offer other aspiring travelers for help in making the transition from 9 to 5 worker to full time traveler on my travel blog: Traveling Round The World.
TT: Wow! How did you find the money to fund this travel?
R: I wish I could simply say that I was given travel funding by an organization or that I won the lottery, but truth be told, the trip was funded by my own savings. And after doing my homework on how to plan and budget for such an excursion, I realized there were ways to save tons of money on transportation during travel, as well as how to route your trip through certain countries and regions of the world to maximize your travel time without sacrificing the places you wanted to travel to and experience.
Long term travel is all about setting a realistic budget and you have to plan for mishaps along the way. Of course, I also realized that minimizing any recurring debts from home such as a mortgage, a car payment and other expenses would help to prolong my travel budget so this was also a focus during my pre-trip time spent at home.
TT: Tell us one moment from your travels that was particularly powerful.
R: It is a bit hard to narrow down my travel experiences to the one most powerful or moving moment, but if I had to choose, I would pick two places. Iceland and Tibet. Both held the most majestic and stunning landscapes I'd ever seen before and they moved me in a way that is nearly indescribably in terms of natural beauty. Put simply, they will take your breath away. If you have the opportunity to travel to either place, you won't be disappointed.
TT: Very interesting! How have your travels impacted you in your career?
R: Before leaving on my trip, my entire career experience had been in the real estate and construction industry for sales and management. However, as mentioned before, I had given thought to both volunteering as well as teaching English along the way. I ended up doing both.
I began doing some volunteer work in a small village in Laos which included teaching to the local village children a few months ago. All in all, it was an unforgettable experience and something I'd recommend to anyone on a trip around the world. The organization I volunteered with was the SAELAO Project in Laos and it was very rewarding however, there are many volunteer programs all over the world which you will discover along the way as you travel. And for teaching English in China, the experience has also been rewarding and has taught me how to interact with the Chinese culture and broadened my knowledge of Chinese business and customs.
TT: How have your travels impacted you as a person?
R: My travel worldwide has definitely affected me on a grand scale. I have a much larger "international view" of the world than before I left and it has afforded me networking opportunities all over the globe from those I've met along the way. It allows you to see first hand how one culture differs from the next and makes you reflect back onto your own culture and upbringing in your home country. It has been a daily learning experience along the way so you gain more and more knowledge for each day that passes. It also leaves you with the fulfillment and satisfaction of having achieved your dream if you aspire to be a world traveler.
TT: Love it! What advice do you have for other teachers who are dreaming of travel, or travelers curious to teach?
R: For some advice I'd give to anyone looking to travel… if you truly want to go, then make a plan, set a date and do it. You have absolutely nothing to lose and you will gain more from the experience and be better fit when you re-enter the working world than when you left. And trust me, work will always be there when you get back so don't feel travel will damage your career! If your company loves the work you do, they will likely want to hire you back upon your return. You will also live without the regret on what you didn't do in life. They have said that what people regret most in life is not the mistakes they have made but the opportunities that they missed!

I am happy to answer any questions you might have and offer help and recommendations. Wishing you travel success!
TT: Thanks so much, Rory! Clearly, travel and teaching abroad is possible at many ages and life situations. Readers, what questions or comments do you have for this inspirational traveler?
Comment, then read these!

Your photographs are beautiful. Can you talk about the cameras you've used along the way, and how you conserved on packing space for your electronics?
Hi Arlis!
Thanks for the comment… it always helps to have wonderful subjects to shoot:)
Actually, all these photos were taken with a point and shoot digital. 4 of them were taken with just a Sony Cybershot and the others from China, India and SE Asia were taken with a Canon S95 which is definitely better than the other one but still far from a DSLR. I upgraded to the S95 when I got to China…
This definitely helped on the conservation of both space and weight. The reason I decided not to take a more expensive camera was not just for those two reasons of space and weight but also for the liability of it on a long term trip as well as the fact I'd rarely want to carry around a DSLR at night without it being cumbersome.I did travel with a lot people though that had DSLR's and if you were going to go this route, I'd just recommend carrying a small point and shoot too so you'd have something at all times day and night. I can't tell you how many amazing shots came along of 'random crazy travel stuff' to photograph along the way and most often, they could only be captured in less than 10 seconds so it helps to have something quick on hand.
Happy to answer any more questions you have. I have also listed both those cameras in more detail on my blog…
It's nice hearing from people in their 30′s and above! I'm 32, traveling, and living in China but I mostly meet people between 22 and 26.
Hi Joy!
Great to hear from you and I agree with you on that… I'd say most people you meet on the travel road are in their early or mid 20′s though the rest are made up of folks of all ages. For me, I just didn't want to wait any longer and put a career on hold:)
Where in China are you currently? I was recently living in Shenzhen for about 5 months teaching…. I miss it already however I don't miss eating rice and noodles everyday! …j/k
I just finished almost 2 years in Xi'an. I'm home for the holidays but going to Nanjing this month for another year. Did you like Shenzhen? I've heard mixed things. I was interested in living there because it's so close to Hong Kong.
Thats great… I spent some time in Xi'an but never made it to Nanjing. As for living in Shenzhen, it was good. Its a modern city with great weather, very close proximity to get to the beach and you can be in Hong Kong within an hour. It is also known for its exports so it gets a lot of foreign businesses that operate there. It's not really a place you'd want to visit for more than a few days since the city is less than 40 years old and there isn't any history there but its very new and clean and an ideal spot to live if you like Macau, Hong Kong or even Guangzhou. I have a friend teaching in Nanjing though not sure if he's still there….Are you fluent yet?
haha. Not fluent but I study a lot. it's a hard language! Spent a semester at a University in Xi'an and will hopefully do 2 more semesters in Nanjing. I can see why Shenzhen would be a good place to live. I don't think i'm ready to give up all the history yet though.
I completely understand… on both the difficulty of Mandarin as well giving up on the history. To even be able to carry on a conversation is impressive! Best of luck with everything and if you ever travel though Shenzhen, let me know!
Kudos Rory!
Glad to hear you living your dream, and I'm right behind you my friend…
Thanks Dion, glad to hear you're going to follow in my foot steps… you'll have no regrets! Best of luck…
Great Sharing by Rory! Very inspiring
Probably I will consider
Guess I better get cracking….I'm 31! Great interview…
Bravo, Rory. Beats a desk job.
Thanks Terry! Yes it does! Going back to one is about the last thing I want to do:)
It's nice to hear Rory's take on traveling mid-career. There are times that I think Charles and I are the only ones putting careers on the backburner for travel
Ok whew–I'm glad someone else said '33 is old?!?' I'm 32 and I'm just finishing up my year off. I didn't go around the world, but I certainly traveled more than I ever could have had I not taken a year off (106 days of mostly-solo travel while still maintaining my home, mortgage and (sort of) my marriage). And though I'm approaching 33–and need to work for a few more years to save up again–I plan to do it again. And again. Until I'm ACTUALLY old. Like 99.
Well said!
Nice! I am 37 and just finished up roughly 9 months of solo travel — and then returned to the states, landed an awesome job and am planning on being here until I can save enough money to go do it again! But for longer next time….
WOW – Very inspirational. I am 64 and still in the dream stage of planning, but i am determined to do it. Thank you Lillie for helping to keep my dream alive.
Keep us posted on your amazing plans, Marla!
Oh no! If 33 is old for traveling, I am not sure where that leaves the rest of us…..
Hehe don't worry! I've published articles recently with travelers in their 70s who are rockin' it out. Perhaps a better term is "established."
Yes….. I like that better….
though, i have to say, it makes me giggle a little to think of myself as 'established'….. though I don't think of myself as old either….. just not in my 20s. or …. early 30s…..-
Hmm, well then what's the word for the ties that start to pull us to remain in one place close to home?
Hi Aurora,
My being '33′ was just to the point that a lot of the crowd, at least on the travel route I'd be on, were mostly fresh out of school. I think it was more of a point that even if you're up to your neck in a career of 10, 20, or 30+ years, you should still go if that's what you want to do…You're never too old for anything in life… and I plan to keep on traveling for the many years to come and I hope a lot of others are inspired to do the same:)
Thanks for clarifying, Rory!

High Winds Cancel Balloon Fiesta Launch
By Fred Martino
A mass launch of balloons at the kickoff of an annual hot-air balloon festival in New Mexico has been cancelled because of high winds. Hundreds of hot-air balloons were expected to rise into the sky early Saturday morning at the 41st Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta
The Albuquerque Journal reports the launch was delayed from 5:45 a.m. and then cancelled at 7 a.m. Groans and sighs could be heard from the launch field as a public address announcer passed on the news.
Winds were at about 30 mph at 1,000 feet and well above safety limits.
The nine-day event drew slightly more than 700,000 spectators last year.

Brown Suits
Brown suits seem to be going the way of the dodo. Never all that popular to begin with, they are being put to death by that hoary old "no brown in town" chestnut. Now by brown I do not mean tan, or patterned tweed necessarily, but true brown whether flannel for winter, gabardine for spring and fall, or cotton and linen for warmer weather. And that is because brown is a country and suburban color, better suited for holidays than conference rooms. When the suit is worn only for formal occasions, its informal applications disappear. 'Tis a pity, that.
It's a pity because brown suits are one of best colors for the sunshine in my opinion, along with mid-blue and cream. More formal than odd jackets but less formal than city suitings, brown lends itself to travel by air, rail (it admittedly blends in better on EuroStar than Amtrak) or motorcar. And though an attorney in Palo Alto is probably better off in blue, brown is just fine for visiting a suit-wearing executive staff in that same area.
Brown has the further advantage of functioning very well as a weekend suit, should you have cause to need one. The color just seems to complement country details like ticket pockets, even on a double breasted (a request that one of my tailors had never heard before). I like it best worn with brown shoes (oxfords in cooler weather and slip-ons when it is warm), a blue chambray shirt and a striped necktie with some purple in it.

"No brown is town" is a core principle well alive - and rightly so. As the article says, brown is the colour of the country and the suburbs. Outside the working week and outside the city the brown suit, however, comes to the fore, whether in Tweed the Scottish/English/Irish way, in Gabardine, seersucker, or in one of the many varieties the Italians are the true masters of. Wear a suit and choose "brown outside town."

When discussing colors (ANY color) I think it's important to consider particular shades. Some browns are rich and flattering; others are deadly dull.
Your point is well-taken regarding complimentary colors. (Periwinkle looks great.)
Men who are either very dark-haired or very blonde (silver, too) can carry-off a brown suit better than brown-haired blokes. Men of brown skin color should avoid brown suits. - May 14, 2012 at 11:44:00 PM PDT

Agree entirely about the merits of the dark brown flannel chalkstripe although I'd wear it with black captoe brogues.

I can see a brown suit being "out of place" in a power meeting in London or New York, but one must admit that even in some urban situations brown can be acceptable.
For example, Rome or Naples, or other Mediterranean cities... The suit should blend with the colors of its surroundings. London and New York are essentially grey. But Rome and Naples and Barcelona are cities covered in Browns, Ochre, Tans Beiges, Yellows, etc... typical colors of Southern Europe.
I do see many professionals wearing brown suits to the office in late spring and summer. These are ordinary office days for these southern European professionals, no Anglo-American power meetings here. No, they do their business strolling towards the cafe or sitting outside in the shade of a beautiful piazza (what crisis?).
Brown suits are wonderfully appropriate in some professional settings in the climes of southern Europe. Just dont' wear it when you meet thre Brits on their own turf...and for God's sake, try to pretend NOT to notice their hot pink socks! - May 15, 2012 at 6:55:00 AM PDT

Isn't it just a sort of modern reverse psychology that people inflict upon themselves? Surely all it takes is for us to look to the past - the real past - and try to remember all the people we know or know of who wore brown suits. I can think of more than two dozen I've known personally and many of them in towns and cities. And even then 'no brown in town' saying existed.
So what were they doing? Probably not taking it as seriously as people are doing so currently. - May 15, 2012 at 8:50:00 AM PDT

John brings up an important point: choosing the right shade of brown for your own coloration.
Some men are flattered by warm, golden browns; others, by cool, pinkish browns. Yet others cannot wear brown at all.
According to the "four season" approach to coloration, the Springs (like Will) and Autumns wear golden browns, while Summers wear pink browns. Winters (those with high-contrast coloration) have no brown that flatters. As it so happens, Summer is the most common "season" among Caucasians, while Winter is most common among everyone else. Even so, every season is found among every ethnicity.
So in order to find the browns that work for you, you need to find your season. Carole Jackson's Color for Men is the classic, though there are other books (and approaches) as well. - May 15, 2012 at 11:43:00 AM PDT

I got a dark brown tropical wool double-breasted suit that I'm having a hard time finding a place to wear. For someone who doesn't wear suits daily, does it have a place in the wardrobe?

Truth be told, cotton or linen suits (at least pre-made ones) are harder to come by, and that sucks on a VERY hot day, when you can only afford the cheaper, gabardine models... Sometimes you just got to go with the smart casual look and not wear a suit, if it's not necessary. Even the pants can be cumbersome, because you get a gabardine pant with the jacket if you're on a tight budget and have to wear THAT pant with another shirt just to look "smart"... And if you do dress down, and wear a slacks instead, the purpose of the smart casual look lose it's meaning and you're down to look business casual, and with that, why not just wear a polo instead ? At least the pants can be a lot less stuffy and you don't sweat (too much) when wearing them with just a shirt.

Every time I watched "Vertigo", Jimmy Stewart in brown suits, and in town, I wanted a brown suit. I now have two, one a finer, lighter Glen (Canali), and the other a darker solid (H-F MTM). I really enjoy both of them, I feel quite comfortable in town, and they get compliments. I would not choose them for a boardroom meeting.

Oh, that's so sad. Sometimes life is so unfair. A woman that takes my spin class lost her baby. She was scheduled for a c-section and they think it died about 4 hours before. She exercised and felt great up until the very end. In fact, she got up the morning of the c-section appointment, feeling great and headed to the hospital, still feeling the baby moving. Then something went horribly wrong. I am heartbroken for her.
Again, life is sometimes very unfair.

Your health plan and the Nixon curse
Did you ever hear of the Nixon curse? Are you sick of having people push you to shop around for a health insurance plan? If so, rejoice, because Monday is the deadline for picking your 2013 health plan. After that, you won't have all those confusing options to kick around anymore for a long time, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says.
00G fund?JoeGovt has raided the G fund at least twice since 1995 and threatened to do it in 2011. They can raid it when we hit the debt limit. Both times were shortlived and we still earned the G fund interest rate - which is pitifully low now. We need an M fund for precious metals. The dollar will take a nose dive due to the Fed creating money out of thin air and the govt spending like a drunken sailor.34671{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }34667TSP in Precious metals?ModerateBe very careful with precious metals. I admit I have no clue as to whether they will go up or down. Neither do you. You write what will happen, and it may, but you really do not know. Remember, if you are FERS, you depend on the TSP. If precious metals go down, like in the 1980's, you are in deep trouble.

Who said the below while in the US Senate in 2006 when the GOP wanted the debt ceiling raised?...... "The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can't pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that 'the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."........That's right folks. The above is Obama's words not mine. Oh the hypocrisy.34674{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }34667Hypocrisy by the RepublicansModerateThis is while your friends, the Republicans, wanted to raise the debt ceiling and run deficits during times of relative prosperity.

I do not wish to be called dude or dudette. Maybe you are neutered. Anyway, I am sure you are incapable of knowing how much of the jobless benefits are paid out because the jobless cannot get decent jobs due to the Bush and the Republican Depression. You probably collect a fat government pension while these people are trying to make ends meet with the jobless benefits. The difference is your benefits (an entitlement) are much fatter than jobless benefits. However, you would not know this as you probably had a steady job with nice fringes.worker34700{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }34696You Are CorrectX-taxmanYes, in fact I did decide long ago to work and support myself and my family, and yes by doing so I did end up with a nice pension, which I worked my behind off for many years for. Of course I "had a steady job with nice fringes", because I am not lazy or morally bankrupt. Why on earth do you disparage me for THAT? Your lack of logic is astounding. There are so many freeloaders that shamelessly take advantage of Uncle Sugar, and you bleeding heart liberals keep letting them do it. Y'all should pay for it, not me. It is good (and fascinating!) to know, however, that you are neither dude nor dudette.34729{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }34700I am correctModerateAgain, you should not call me dude or dudette. Of course, you are incapable of comprehending that.---How do you know how many people are taking money from Uncle Sugar and how many are affecting by your friends who caused the Bush and the Republicans Depression? You had a nice job with nice fringiesbecause you were fortunate. Some of the others are lazy. Some went for the higher paying jobs and got hit by the lousy economy. And some had lousy jobs and were still laid off due to the economy. The economy has been horrible for over five years which is almost 1/2 as long as the Great Depression.

I am not sure the Feds can raid the Actual TSP part of the funds as it should be in a trust fund like a 401(k). Companies can't just "borrow" from their employees 401(k)s. that said, the Government did borrow against the Pension Fund. I am not sure if they meant just Civil Service or also the pension side of the FERS. But, it wouldn't surprise me to see them go after the TSP.34670{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0IronyBig JoeWhat I find ironic is that if any non-Government employer ever raided their employee's 401k, even with paying it back, that is considered a very serious act and the SEC would be all over them.

This 'Toolkit' presents the outcomes of the North Sea Region INTERREG IVB project Creative City Challenge (CCC). Its main target group are local and regional policy-makers. It therefore aims
The last Creative City Challenge Newsletter (6th Edition) has been produced and can be downloaded as PDF file in the newsletter section.
Our film team is on it's way. On Sunday, 6th of May 2012, Dialog PR started its trip up North to visit our CCC partners in Gothenburg. This is the first station, where Dialog PR is going to film and interview not only the colleagues from TILLT, but various stakeholders from Creative Industries. The outcome will be a Travelling Exhibition in the best sense of the word: Not only films for each beneficiary and one mash-up will be produced, but the journey to various cities, partners and best practices will be documented in a Road Movie Diary to be seen on You Tube, on a blog and last but not least on facebook.
20 September 2012, Groningen, The Netherlands
In the creative sector, cross-disciplinary collaboration and knowledge sharing have always been powerful catalysts of innovation. So one can argue about the role of the creative industries in cross-sectoral knowledge transfer and therefore in the innovation ecosystem, in smart and sustainable growth.
With project partners from the EU North Sea Region Hamburg, Bremen, Oldenburg, Kortrijk, Høje-Taastrup, Göteborg, Dundee, Newcastle, Delft and Groningen much work has been carried out in developing and exchanging expertise and experience in the field of creative knowledge clusters, hotspots/incubators, entrepreneurship and transnational networks. Time for sharing and debating!
On 20 September 2012, the Municipality of Groningen organized the final conference of the European project entitled Creative City Challenge (CCC).
With our partners from the North Sea region – Hamburg, Bremen, Oldenburg, Kortrijk, Høje-Taastrup, Göteborg, Dundee, Newcastle and Delft – much work has been carried out in developing and exchanging knowledge and experience in the field of creative knowledge clusters, hotspots, etc.
The conference was held in the rising creative urban area of Groningen: the Ebbingekwartier (Ebbinge Quarter). There, the grounds of the former Gas Factory have been given a temporary layout and access routes. The 'Open Lab Ebbinge', which is a component of this creative zone, functions as a new breeding ground for the creative economy and forms a practical laboratory for new types of interim architecture, urban planning and new environments for creative entrepreneurship and the mingling of ideas. A living lab for open innovation.

For Review: IndieUI Events for Mobile and More
IndieUI defines a way for different user interactions to be translated into simple events and communicated to web applications. (For example, if a user wants to scroll down a page, they might use their finger on a touch screen, or click a scroll bar with a mouse, or use a scroll wheel, or say "scroll down" with a voice command. With IndieUI, these are all sent to the web app as simply: scroll down.)
IndieUI will make it easier for web applications to work in a wide range of contexts — different devices (such as mobile phones and tablets), different assistive technologies (AT), different user needs. With IndieUI, web application developers will have a uniform way to design applications that work for multiple devices and contexts.
We published the First Public Working Draft of IndieUI: Events today. See:
- IndieUI Overview for a short introduction
- IndieUI: Events expands user interface interactions blog post (also invites participation)
- IndieUI: Events 1.0 - Events for User Interface Independence - technical specification

Offensive Baby Talk
I really need some advice. In my household, we've never spoken "baby talk" to our children. Each word spoken is pronounced correctly, none of that "Is ooo hungwy?" kind of nonsense. I had a lot of trouble when my children were babies because it seems that everyone talks to small babies that way. I ignored it and I wish I hadn't. Now I'm having trouble because it seems that most people talk down to my children just because they are young. It's really not just MY children, but any child under three feet tall. It's like they associate height with intelligence or something. Now, I'm not saying this to brag, but my kids are pretty darn smart. My daughter is 4 1/2 and can carry on a conversation as if she's ten. My son is 2 1/2 and can carry on a conversation as if he's five or six. And they notice when people talk down to them. We recently went to a school function and were introduced to several of the high school students. They wouldn't talk to my son at all except to ask him what his name was and how old he was. They took turns introducing themselves to my daughter and insisted that she repeat each of their names. The look she gave them was priceless but unnoticed by them. "Can you say 'T.J.'?" Um....yeah she can. And it's not just the school kids who do it either, it's nearly everyone we've met in our new town.I probably would be tempted to ignore it for the sake of politeness, except that my daughter has noticed how people talk to her. She told me after the school function that her feelings were really hurt because they were talking to her like she is a baby. I really wasn't sure what to tell her right then, except to reassure her that they weren't being mean or trying to hurt her feelings. I'm thinking about having a talk with her about it. I feel that she should be able to say to them "Please don't talk to me like I'm a baby. I'm a very smart person." It would reassure her self-esteem, prove that she's not unintelligent, and may give them pause for thought about how they talk to small children. I am concerned about offending someone though. I'm afraid if I say something about it to them, they will consider it rude. My husband just recently became a teacher at this school and I really don't want to cause any strife for him later. But I don't think it's fair for my daughter to have to put up with them talking down to her.
What do you think? Should I just keep reassuring her that they aren't trying to be mean and ignore it? Or empower her to speak up for herself? What would you do in this situation?

Welcome, guest
August 09, 2012
AIMA, the global hedge fund industry association, has published a detailed statistical rebuttal of 'The Hedge Fund Mirage' – a book written by former JP Morgan man Simon Lack that has attracted widespread coverage on account of its highly critical assessment of the industry's performance and which AIMA describes as "a polemic".
The paper, entitled "Methodological, mathematical and factual errors in 'The Hedge Fund Mirage'", was written in conjunction with AIMA's Research Committee, which features leading academics and analysts.
"Many of us in the industry looked at the arguments in the book with initial interest, and then growing skepticism," said AIMA CEO Andrew Baker. "Many of the most sensational claims appeared not to be backed up by any figures. Where there were figures, the methodology was flawed. We noticed that no-one praising the book appeared to have actually checked the numbers behind it. We began to wonder if 'The...

Capturing cancer
U-M engineering and medical researchers have developed a nano-roughened glass plate that cancer cells adhere to at greater rates than non-cancerous cells. This device could help improve cancer diagnosis and prognosis by allowing researchers to isolate live circulating tumor cells in order to study their biological and physical properties.

Have you been experiencing slower than expected processing speeds with ShipStation? If so, we have some news that we'd like to share.
If you prefer or need to use Internet Explorer over any other browser, then we have found a way to help. To increase the overall speed and performance of ShipStation through your Internet Explorer browser versions 6, 7, 8 and 9, you can install a Google Chrome plug-in called the Google Chrome Frame. The plug-in can be downloaded from the following link. Just hit "Accept and Install", and you're on your way to a much faster ShipStation (note, you will need to restart Internet Explorer after installing the plug-in).
Note that the plug-in is only used for web sites that explicitly support the Google Chrome Frame, which ShipStation does, so it won't affect any other sites that you regularly visit. For your convenience, we have included a video to help better explain how Google Chrome Frame works:
We hope that you have found this information helpful and that you are now experiencing ShipStation as it was intended – sleek, powerful, and FAST!
We're excited to announce Shipping Presets, a powerful feature suggested by ShipStation's very own user community. Shipping Presets allow you to quickly apply settings to one or more orders.
Manage your presets by clicking on the Shipping Presets menu above the shipping fields in the Order Information pane.
Click "+ New Preset" to add a new preset. Supply values for some or all of the fields.
There are 3 ways to apply shipping presets:
1. Apply a preset to a single order from the Shipping Preset menu.
2. Press defined hotkey to apply preset to one or more orders.
3. Use Bulk Update to apply preset to multiple orders.
Register now for your 30 day free trial of one of the most powerful shipping applications on the market. You'll have access to a fully functioning solution containing time-saving features and access to discounted shipping rates!
ShipStation is a web-based shipping application that is fully compatible with Mac OSX and Safari. Whether you want to print single or multiple labels, domestic or international, via USPS, UPS or FedEx, ShipStation does it all on your Mac without the need for external software. Our commitment to intuitive and intelligent shipping software was built with Mac users in mind!
ShipStation brings a rich set of features to Mac users who have traditionally been neglected by desktop shipping software. Importing orders from multiple marketplaces and shipping them using USPS, UPS or FedEx is a seamless experience in Safari or any other web browser you choose. Customizable automation rules help you build a shipping process that's fast, consistent, and tailored specifically to your business needs. Best of all, ShipStation can be accessed from anywhere!
ShipStation Feature Highlights:
At ShipStation, we care about the details too. By offering tools like a multi-carrier rate calculator, address validation checker, and product pick list generator, we help you to make quick and easy shipping decisions from within our platform.
If you're looking for a powerful shipping application that runs effortlessly on a Mac, check out our 30-day free trial. Jennifer, an Apple user and founder of Gracefully Girly, gave us a shot and said, "I tried ShipStation and I'm in love. Pure love." We love hearing from our customers and discovering how we can continue providing top of the line shipping software for online retailers.
We've been receiving some great feedback and input from our sellers and just released some new features that deliver some added efficiency to the shipping process.
The first feature covers single order shipping. Many sellers have told us that the label batch process is overkill for when they need to simply process a single order. We agreed.
The new "Quick-Ship" window is shown when only a single order is selected and the "Ship Order(s)" button is clicked. Shipping settings can be changed directly in the window and the label can be printed without ever leaving the orders screen.
The other new feature covers the other end of the spectrum. For sellers that are preparing and shipping large batches of orders at one time, this can often be difficult to organize. For that reason, we created the "Loading Dock". The loading dock is simply a temporary bin to place orders that are ready to ship.
One or more selected orders can be added to the Loading Dock by using the new button at the bottom of the order list:
Depending on your fulfillment process, you can quickly print a pick list, packing slips or an order report directly from the Loading Dock window. When you're ready to create the label batch, just click on "Ship These Orders".
With the new Loading Dock in place, the size and positioning of the product preview was redesigned to make better use of space. Included with that redesign was the ability to hover over a product thumbnail image and see a larger version of the image. Unfortunately, this is only applicable to the sales channels that currently provide product images for ShipStation, but were lobbying hard to make sure all of them do eventually.
Austin, Texas Oct 18, 2011 — Auctane introduces ShipStation, allowing online retailers to fulfill orders faster while reducing shipping costs. ShipStation consolidates orders from numerous marketplaces and shopping cart solutions, and allows shipping labels to be printed in batch. This initial release includes support for eBay, Amazon, Buy.com Marketplace, Etsy, Magento, Volusion, Zen Cart, PayPal, Google Checkout, and Payvment.
ShipStation is a web-based solution that is compatible with both PCs and Macs, and does not require any software to install. With support for batch label printing as well as multiple users and warehouses, ShipStation is ideal for mid to high volume sellers. Feature highlights include:
• Intuitive, easy to use web interface with no software to install
• Unprecedented shipping discounts
• Full 360-degree synchronization with each marketplace
• Streamlined shipping system processes numerous orders in just a few clicks
• Configurable order processing engine automates tedious tasks and reduces human error
• Innovative order management features such as the Sales Channel Inbox and Priority Order Tagging
"Shipping is often a pain point for an online retailer selling across multiple channels and marketplaces", said Jason Hodges, President of Auctane. "ShipStation helps by allowing retailers to sell their products anywhere and ship in one convenient place."
Each ShipStation subscription includes a free DYMO Endicia account, which allows users to print all classes of USPS postage. ShipStation also integrates with Express 1, a government partner of the US Postal Service, providing discounted rates on Priority and Express Mail.

I managed to get an orange tabby in the hands of my tauren druid through the neutral auction house. While she adores the company of this striped feline, he can get a little too amorous when she pops into cat form. But at least he doesn't get intimate with her leg — no, that department's covered by her worg pup.

And I am definitely a material girl – that is, I love gorgeous fabrics! A rich, dramatic print can transform a room, brightening up a pale palette, injecting life and color, and drawing the eye to focal pieces within the space. I adore upholstering sofas or chairs in an unexpectedly vibrant print to add contrast in a room of neutrals, or experimenting with bold curtains or bedlinen. And these days I'm loving the kind of prints and patterns that are just screaming out to be noticed!
(Source: Tulu Textiles)
The fabrics on the bed above come from a design house called Tulu, which specializes in bold, bright prints and hues. So many of these beautiful prints are inspiring me these days. I especially like the rich shades they use. Used against a crisp white background, the colors 'pop' even more, creating a really spectacular effect.
(Source: Tulu Textiles)
One of the other companies I'm really loving right now is Les Indiennes, which produces a line inspired by the colors and shapes of India.
(Source: Les Indiennes)
The great thing about prints like these is that they can really infuse a room with personality, even one with a simple, rustic décor. I've fallen for the rich, saturated hues, the beautiful patterns, and the pretty linen-like backgrounds.
(Source: Les Indiennes)
I love the patterns too – especially the paisley prints, which are so reminiscent of traditional Indian designs. Even in the simplest of color combinations, they look so elegant!

Since the 1970s she's dressed everyone from the Sex Pistols and punk fashionistas to princesses and celebs in her eclectic designs, which over time have drawn inspiration from influences ranging from the 17th century to modern-day bondage gear. In recent years the Vivienne Westwood line has expanded to include women's and men's shoes and boots, bridal wear, jewelry, and handbags and accessories that toe the line between irreverent and classic.
