I want to be like this with my kids.
This will not be fun.
this represents like 95% of the middle/high school i went to.
This depressed me every single time I was in English classes. Especially if they were honors

Going off of Prozac because my neurologist thinks that's causing the headaches, going onto some new anxiety medicine that she says people my age do well on, and I'm going to start doing yoga.
Wish me luck. :/
Andrew came here tonight and we went to Pei Wei, costume shopping for the homecoming dance, the Dollar Store to buy things to leave at Beth's house for her birthday, dropped stuff off at her house and talked for a few minutes, and came back here to watch the end of the Rangers game. My head hurts so much but oh my gosh seeing him makes such a difference. I wish he lived down the street.
Today was not good. I felt on the verge of tears all day because a) my head and b) hormones. Hopefully it's not my new medicine screwing everything up. Today was my day that I got out of school early so I'm going to go lay down until I have to get up and babysit at three. Hopefully by then I stop crying. I'm so tired of my head hurting.

This place is my desktop background.
1. I feel like shit and I hate headaches.
2. I didn't go to the Anberlin concert yesterday because my headache was so bad.
3. Andrew's homecoming is this weekend and I'm stressed because of the headache.
4. Not to mention my ACT is Saturday morning.
5. I FINALLY see the neurologist on Friday.
6. My current doctor would not give me a perscription for four days worth of pain pills to get me through the week because they're too habit-forming (yes. I would take them for four days. so I could just make it through. God forbid I become addicted in four days.) still no medicines are working to make the headaches stop.
7. My mom isn't letting me schedule a session with my therapist (who offered to meet me at an evening appointment because I haven't seen her in 3 weeks because of her cancelations and I'm so stressed out) until I see her on Tuesday of next week. That's a month without a session. I can't do this shit.
9. This was not brief I am sorry.
Ahaha. New default response.

Ugh I can't find motivation right now. I have English homework but I can only get a few questions done. I just want to go to sleep. I should at least try to study anatomy or something.

The cast of Teen Mom 2 is in turmoil these days.
Which adorable tyke featured on the MTV show might be forced to grow up without the love of their parents? Which star is considering getting remarried already?
OK! has the full rundown in its new cover story.
Eight months after her divorce from Corey Simms, Leah Messer is talking engagement with Jeremy Calvert, the boyfriend who lives with her and her twin daughters.
Ali and Aleeah have been a major focal point of Season 2 of Teen Mom 2, but we already know that Leah and Corey split up, and the 19-year-old is happier for it.
Corey is not happy with this new arrangement, however. "I'd die for my girls," Corey told a pal. "Jeremy is not there to replace me. No one will keep me from them."
As viewers of this week's Teen Mom 2 saw, Corey and Leah's love for the girls is strong, but their marriage unraveled very quickly and with a lot of hard feelings.
Now Leah is intent on Jeremy becoming a father to the girls.

Improving the Efficacy of Pediatric Cancer Trials
One of the most challenging aspects of conducting clinical trials in pediatric populations is making decisions about which of the many new anticancer agents under development to test. Although treatment of childhood cancers is one of the most remarkable success stories in all of medicine - nearly 80 percent of children diagnosed with cancer survive 5 years or more - if we are to expand on that progress and ensure that every child who develops cancer has a legitimate chance of survival, we must address this issue.
That's why I am so enthusiastic about a new, first-of-its-kind program being launched by NCI: the Pediatric Preclinical Testing Program (PPTP). This program will systematically test 10-15 agents or combinations of agents annually in preclinical models of common childhood cancers. The program's goal is to generate the kind of information that will allow pediatric oncology researchers to make educated, reliable decisions on which new agents should be tested in children with specific cancers. This is critically important because only a limited number of clinical trials can be conducted for any given type of childhood cancer. If we are to provide more effective treatments for pediatric cancer patients, we must test the agents with the best chance of success.
The PPTP, which will begin testing its first set of agents in early 2005, is supported by an NCI research contract with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (SJCRH), with Dr. Peter Houghton as the principal investigator. Testing will occur at SJCRH and other sites with expertise in specific childhood cancers (see box). Dr. Malcolm Smith, of the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program, is the NCI project officer.
The PPTP will build on the impressive work to date by Dr. Houghton demonstrating the great potential of pediatric preclinical drug testing. For example, Dr. Houghton and colleagues found that topoisomerase I inhibitors such as topotecan and irinotecan were active against xenograft mouse models of neuroblastoma and rhabdomyosarcoma, especially when treatment schedules that allowed for prolonged agent exposure were used. Subsequent clinical trials modeled on these studies showed that both topotecan and irinotecan are active in children with rhabdomyosarcoma and neuroblastoma. More recent xenograft studies by Dr. Houghton showed that combinations of topoisomerase I inhibitors with standard agents like vincristine and temozolomide are particularly active, and clinical trials building on these observations are ongoing.
Through the PPTP, similar preclinical studies will be conducted using a broad spectrum of anticancer agents, with an initial focus on molecularly targeted agents that are being studied in adults with cancer. Importantly, the predictive capabilities of the PPTP's childhood cancer panels will be evaluated by comparing PPTP study results with the clinical activity of the tested agents in children, taking into account any differences between the pharmacokinetic profile of the agents in the animal models and in children.
Finally, NCI will sponsor a workshop next year to discuss opportunities for public-private partnerships to identify molecular targets specific to childhood cancers and build on the advances already made in developing targeted therapeutics.
All of us in the cancer community have heard uplifting stories of childhood cancer survivors and anguishing stories of those who did not share in this progress. Hopefully, this program will help ensure that no child will ever suffer or die from cancer.
Dr. Andrew C. von Eschenbach

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City's public school teachers have voted to approve a new contract with the city.
The United Federation of Teachers announced the vote results Tuesday evening. The UFT says the contract had passed more than 77 percent of the vote and that around 90,000 votes had been cast.
Negotiators reached a deal May 1 after a nearly five-year labor dispute.
Teachers will receive back pay equivalent to nearly 8 percent of their salaries and a series of additional small raises through 2018 under the nine-year contract.
It offers bonus pay for well-reviewed teachers and aim to save the city $1 billion in health care costs over the length of it.
The deal also revamps the teacher evaluation system.
Teachers also will receive one-time $1,000 ratification payments.

Real Life Photo of Exhale Jacket & Devi Jacket and Pant
5 comments:
I really want to like this cropped jacket...but can't get passed that big pouffy victorian-like hood! It's awful! People were criticizing the sleeves on the FunTime Jacket???
- March 5, 2010 at 4:03 AM
Not a fan of the Devi pant. I was hoping it would be cute since the Dance Studio Pants did not work out for me. Come on lulu get it together, PLEASE!!
- March 5, 2010 at 5:50 AM
I'm kind of glad lulu hasn't really made anything awesome lately. I used to spend a couple hundred dollars a month on their stuff, but haven't bought a thing since January. Here's hoping to them having a great summer collection.
- March 5, 2010 at 8:59 AM
I am not a fan of Devi Jacket either. The exhale jacket looks cute, but I am not so sure about the hood, looks like something for a little girl.
- March 5, 2010 at 7:50 PM
I ordered the Exhale Jacket (since I don't live near a store). Now that I see that collar, it may be going back!

Sears boosts its stock price
Sears Holdings is losing sales to Wal-Mart and other competitors. So why is its stock so hot?
Sears gets no respect. So why, after taking a tremendous hit in May and June, is the stock at $75 and trending up? Why is the company's forecast beating expectations even as sales drop and the competition continues to steal business?
For that answer, you need to take apart the stock a little bit. Sears is one of the most interesting stocks out there, and you'll see why in a minute. Let's get into the financials:
Shrinking shares. Sears has been aggressively buying back its shares, and this week announced that it had snapped up 1.2 million shares in its fourth quarter for a total cost of $77 million. It has board approval to spend another $187 million on shares going forward. Post continues after video:
The share buybacks have been going strong for years. This great chart from Bespoke Investment Group shows that the number of outstanding SHLD shares has dropped from 160 million in 2007 to about 109 million today. Buybacks decrease the share portion of the earnings-per-share equation, making EPS more attractive.
Concentrated ownership. About 75% of all shares are owned by only three entities, reports Bespoke. Sears is completely tied up with Ed Lampert, a 40-something billionaire and hedge fund manager.
Lampert's hedge fund, RBS Partners, owns 48.2 million shares, and Lampert himself owns 17.1 million. Fairholme Funds is the other big owner, with 14.7 million shares.
Huge short interest. OK, so when you take out those three owners, much of the rest of SHLD is getting shorted. In fact, Bespoke reports, about 44% of the remaining shares are sold short. If the company keeps up its share buybacks, Bespoke writes, the shorts will be forced to cover -- or short interest could rise to 100%.
It's the assets, baby. Lots of articles bemoan the future of Sears, especially as Wal-Mart (WMT), Target (TGT) and other rivals steal business. Sears outlets saw a 6% drop in same-store sales in December -- yes, the December when the entire retail sector seemed to come back to life.
Mark Holder notes on Seeking Alpha that Sears will end the quarter with $1.1 billion in cash and $8.3 billion in inventories -- but the company's market cap is $8.2 billion. Those asset figures don't even include the Sears and Kmart brands, Holder notes, or the real estate holdings that could be turned into cash.
Mixed financials. Sears' quarter doesn't end until Jan. 29, so we won't get the report until next month. But this week, the company said its earnings would be $3.39 to $4.12 a share. Analysts had been expecting only $3.09.
That bright outlook is largely due to a tax rate that fell to 32% after Sears worked out some federal and state tax issues. One analyst noted that the tax benefit added some 35 cents to 42 cents to EPS.
The outlook takes some of the pain away from Sears' sales and profit numbers, which have been flat or in decline. It is simply too tough for Sears to compete with Wal-Mart and Target, and that picture doesn't look to improve anytime soon.
The future. Despite its retailing woes, Sears is definitely undervalued. As noted earlier, its market cap doesn't even equal its cash and inventories. And the company will likely continue buybacks, giving Lampert and RBS an even bigger piece of the pie. At some point, the shorts will have to cover.
If Sears can just achieve modest growth while keeping its cash flow intact, there's every reason to suspect that the share price will continue to ramp up.
I worked for K-Mart before and after Sears came along. It was a good place to work before Sears moved in. At the new K-Mart/Sears I was a supervisor at the service desk. I was told to tell the cashiers that their hours would be cut unless they got more credit card applications. I believe this is illegal. With this economy, the last thing people need is "EASY CREDIT" shoved down their throats. I had very angry customers just by asking if they would like to apply. We were told we would be discriminating people if you did not ask. Hmmm, ask the 16 year old with 2 babies if she wants credit? Of course she does. Can she pay it back? Of course she can't. Only in America.
As a customer, my last purchase was a bathroom shelf stand. Out of three boxes, we found enough undamaged pieces to create one stand. Quality merchadise?? I think not.
K-Mart/Sears are two loser companies with no retail leadership. It clearly is the worst retailer out there. Why do you talk about stock ownership? Target and Wal-Mart are places people love to shop and have a brand that customers love. Sears/K-Mart are places you would only go to if you can't find Target. Anyone who recommends this stock is really not making a call on a retailer....What investments in the future have they made...Who are the Management and what are they doing to make this company competitive? Why would anyone want to shop in their stores? Last you really have to ask how long this company can last?
You really can't buy the stock based on visiting their stores? If you have limited dollars to invest in retail...

(NEWS RELEASE) -- Emily Juhl had nine kills and no errors to lead the University of Louisville to its sixth sweep of the season with a 25-18, 25-12, 25-22 win over BIG EAST Conference foe Pitt in volleyball action Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh.
"We were excited to get an opportunity to play this match again after Pittsburgh came in and beat us last year," said U of L head coach Anne Kordes. "We got off to a great start and you are always happy to get two wins, especially on the road in this league. Emily Juhl did a phenomenal job hitting .500. They left her alone a little bit and she was very confident, very powerful today."
U of L (14-2, 3-1) hit .286 and had eight blocks for the first sweep of Pitt since 2008. Juhl's nine kills were the most since the season-opener versus WKU when she notched 12. Senior Lola Arslanbekova led the Cardinals in kills with 12, adding four digs for her eighth straight match with 10 or more kills. Middle blockers Brooke Mattingly and Gwen Rucker each had seven kills and combined for seven blocks. Pitt (10-8, 1-3), hit .091 and had five blocks. Libero Caitlin Welch had 18 digs to pace the Cards.
"I thought Caitlin Welch did a great job. She passed well. She served well. She played great defense. All things we have now come to expect of her this season," said Kordes. "This was one of the harder road trips of the season because of the competition and the amount of travel involved. It's tough on the team mentally and physically. I was really proud of how we responded today and got a great sweep."
Pitt managed to key on Lola Arslanbekova who was held to just one kill in the first set. The Panthers hadn't counted on Emily Juhl coming alive for six kills for the most in a set since seven versus Illinois on Sept. 8, 2012. U of L had a 5-0 run to keep Pitt at arm's length after a tightly contested early first set. U of L hit .244 to PU's .071 as the Cardinals also welcomed back the services of Gwen Rucker, who has missed several matches due to illness.
The Cardinals held that momentum into the second set, going up 7-1 early and then stretched it to 13-3 in part due to Lola's four kills. U of L cruised to a 25-12 win and Juhl and Arslanbekova combined for 15 kills between them going into the break ahead two sets to none. U of L hit .300 in the set.
With their backs against the wall, Pitt came out strong in the third set, staying close the Cards but never gaining the lead. Pitt had the lead trimmed to two at 14-12 and then tied it on three straight Cardinal miscues. U of L answered the challenge and the Panthers never got closer, although they did stave off match point twice after a Juhl kill put the Cards up 24-20. Rucker put the matter to rest with the winner and the Cards avenged their loss of a year ago.
U of L heads home next weekend when it faces Seton Hall on Saturday, Oct. 6 at noon at Cardinal Arena before hosting Rutgers Sunday, Oct. 7 at noon at the KFC Yum! Center. The Cardinals will face their stiffest challenge on Monday as No. 9 Texas visits Monday, Oct. 8 at 7 p.m. in the KFC Yum! Center.

Everybody looking for some action and fun in the evening goes to "Kuta" which nowadays means the area extending about 4 miles or 7 kilometers North from the original village of Kuta and includes now Legian, Seminyak and even Basangkasa. Here are most of the better entertainment places offering EVERYTHING single male or female visitors as well as couples might be looking for.
Closer to the center of Kuta or about 10 minutes drive from Legian Guest House ,you find the BOUNTY SHIP with a noisy, over-air-conditioned disco in the basement and the re-built PADDY'S not far from the original PADDY'S. Much more "IN" nowadays is the newer M-BAR-GO which features really good music and a better crowd than most other places. SKY GARDEN is also on the main road and an interesting place to go. The bar is on the top floor, the three floor below feature all different lounge areas. The menu is huge but the food is often disappointing. When most places close around 2.00 or 3.00 in the morning, night owls of all kinds continue drinking at nearby MAMA'S until sunrise.
One of the most "in" venues in Bali is KU DE TA right on the beach adjacent to the Oberoi hotel. This is the place to see and be seen, and from late afternoon there is a DJ providing rather noisy entertainment for Bali's beautiful people. This is a great place to watch Bali's famous sunsets, but expect to pay for a cocktail around US$10 and more.
Something more outrageous and only for open-minded people are the HUU BAR located in Petitenget street of Seminyak,near The Living Room Restaurant , a place which called itself the "only real gay bar in all of Bali" with drag shows starting at 11:00 p.m. three times per week.
You'll find a large and quite popular HARD ROCK CAFE right at the beginning of Kuta's beach road with live music from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. Expect to find many singles of all kinds here looking for company. If you think this is too noisy, too crowded, or the air-conditioning too cold for you, try the CENTER STAGE at the HARD ROCK RESORT located in the back of the CAFE. As the name implies, the band performs on a raised stage in the middle of the huge round lobby bar until 11:00 p.m. Both HARD ROCK outlets are expensive by Bali standards.
Seminyak's best place to have a drink and some fun after 11 p.m. are nowadays probably OBSESSION World Music Bar and SANTA FEE Bar & Grill, Jalan Abimanyu (also known as Gado Gado Road or Jalan Dhyana Pura). Life music, reasonably priced cocktails and the friendly girls attract many visitors until the early hours. Other popular night spots nearby in the same street are SPY BAR, LIQUID, Q BAR and MIXWELL ("for the alternative lifestyle"), SPACE and THE GLOBE. New bars and "Chill-Out Lounges" are opening all the time, and most of them feature DJ's and/or live music on certain nights. Just walk down the road and check them out !
Also, watch out for notices and small posters in Kuta and Seminyak announcing special events such as Full Moon Parties, House Warming Parties, Body Painting Parties, etc, etc. If these "parties" are announced to the public (even if only by word-of-mouth), they are open for everybody. You'll have to pay for your drinks, therefore, don't be shy.

The Jackie Robinson little league team from Jersey City, N.J., led a chant in the shadow of Jackie Robinson's statue outside MCU Park in Brooklyn on Monday. It was a fitting tribute for the man who stood for so much.
The statue of Pee Wee Reese putting his arm around Jackie Robinson during a Brooklyn Dodgers game in 1947 -- a pivotal moment in history --- was vandalized with racial and anti-Semitic slurs recently.
The granite base was cleansed of the hate. The statue was rededicated for what it symbolizes.
The vandal, or vandals, have still not been caught. Nonetheless, the statue continues to stand tall, and the message remains as loud and clear as the crack of the bat and roar of the crowd.

Is Knowledge a Curse?
"In an article titled "The Curse of Knowledge", it's noted that as a person learns more about a subject, it becomes increasingly more difficult to discuss that subject with someone who doesn't posses that knowledge. It simply becomes harder and harder to empathise with them.
This means that the more educated and passionate you are about a subject, the harder you will find it to discuss or teach it to others.
This effect is one of the cited possibilities for why teaching is so difficult a career, since it means that eventually teachers will become more and more disillusioned with the endless wave of perceived stupidity they're forced to endure."
All of the above is from the article I read online, not my words.
What do you think? Is knowledge a curse?
Closing Statement from W T
Knowledge........information obtained from experience or education.
A lot has been said in this debate/conversation about knowledge.
One may conclude that knowledge, in and of itself, is not a curse. Knowledge is essential in order to function in society, and in order to help others.
Knowledge though, is just the beginning.......there are other things worth seeking beyond knowledge...........
Among those other things worth seeking are............ understanding.......... discernment............and perhaps, if we are fortunate enough, we might obtain...........wisdom.
How we handle the knowledge we have is strictly up to us.
The world is filled with passionate individuals who hold a wealth of knowledge, and who also possess understanding of that knowledge. Wisely they seek to share their knowledge with others, whenever, and wherever they can.
The example of Nan Hauser which is discussed in this conversation is a fine example for all of us. There are many other examples worldwide.
May we all continue to see knowledge as a blessing and use it wisely to better ourselves and others.

Oct 16 2013: ..
" If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree it will go through life believing it is stupid ".....said Einstein and I think this guidance is worth following.
I appreciate the honesty. The words "stupid", "hopeless" and "moron" have no place whatsoever in the vocabulary of a teacher. When a person doesn't love teaching, and is so detached from the joy of teaching, it is indicative that passion is displaced and misplaced.
There is a passion in every human being in this world which deserves to be employed at doing precisely what it excels at doing. The world needs passion to be placed behind the corresponding job.
It is a privilege to be a teacher. It is a privilege and a great responsibility to be entrusted with the fertile ground of an open mind.
Oct 16 2013: So in short, you are frustrated by the fact, that you are not in the position to kick those out you consider hopeless morons, right?
Could you imagine other teacher teaching those 'morons' something? Could it be you who just can't?
This is heading towards 'self reflection abilities', so be careful if you choose to answer ... :o)
Oct 16 2013: You bring out some good points......it is interesting that your last question involved patience......I see this as the hallmark to any conversation that has someone with a high level of knowledge and experience, dealing with another individual with a lack of knowledge and desire to learn.
Thank you Lejan.
I look forward to the rest of your exchange.
Oct 16 2013: My last question was actually a catch question, as Krisztián himself once mentioned, that he is not very patience.
If this is a general quality or exceptional in combination with me, I don't exactly know ... :o)
Yet I do agree with you that patience is a hallmark in this context and as you rightly added goes for individuals with a desire to learn.
Oct 17 2013: "you are frustrated by the fact, that you are not in the position to kick those out"
certainly, but let me point out that it is not the solution, but rather, giving up in a case without hope of a real solution, and distancing myself from it.
"Could you imagine other teacher teaching those 'morons' something?"
no, and it is included in the adjective "hopeless". be mindful that i answered the question literally. that is, i can't imagine. i'm not sure it is impossible.
"Do you think 'patience' is a necessity,"
it is situational. teaching 7 years olds is very different than teaching adults. it is not black and white, one needs some patience, more in some cases, less in others. at the highest levels, the optimum is very very low. we don't want the time of a genius wasted on anything else than other geniuses.
Oct 17 2013: While I was at the University I earned some money at the side teaching at organizations and also in private lessons and later I trained several people on their jobs, apprentices as well as customers.
In all this time I never encountered any hopeless student, but at times I found myself hopeless to be the right teacher for some.
Teaching is more than the exchange of knowledge to me, by which being a student or being a teacher becomes irrelevant even though they are not the same.
What I found was, that I can not teach anyone anything if I fail to spark their interest in learning. Yet this is my fault being the teacher, not the students fault. This sort of 'fault' is not to confuse with its usual, more negative meaning. Not at all. It goes more in the direction of 'incompatibility', by which the 'authority' in the given context takes on the responsibility alone.
I learned this in a very unexpected way. A colleague of mine got a baby and I was asked if I could take her student temporarily on a subject I was not really familiar with and to be honest, have never done very well myself. Chemistry it was and so we tried.
So we went by the book, at first, and for my guidance. The student was a very shy, very introvert teenager whose parents were highly concerned about her grades at school and, as it seemed, about her whole future too. So perfect conditions for my knowledge in chemistry to make things even worse. But then something very remarkably happened during our lessons, as without my intention, I became the catalyst of my student.
I told her at the very beginning, that I myself was going to learn within the process and that both of us would be lucky if I manage to be slightly ahead of her, so that I could remain to be her teacher. So we started and to avoid silence I read out loud and thought out loud so she got to see the how my neurons were trying to make sense of what they just stumbled across.
to be continued ...
Oct 17 2013: I wasn't aware about this at that time, as I was only overcoming silence which otherwise would have occurred. And while I was riddling and marveling in the process, she sat silently at my side with her eyes in the same book.
After our lesson was over, she left, and I was almost certain that her parents would cancel our next scheduled lessons for good reasons. But I was wrong. She returned the next week and we proceeded in the same fashion.
Every now and then she asked me to repeat my train of thought or to re-phrase it for her to follow my path. Well, that wasn't a big problem to me and on we went.
Because of her shyness, I felt that it may be good for some humor so most of my molecules came with little faces and they held hands when they reacted and so on and so forth. And all the sketches I made on paper she took home with her.
Some weeks later things became more difficult to me to understand 'on the fly', and often we parted with my promise to present the solution in the following lesson. Which I did, up to that time, where she herself came up with the same solution, the same understanding.
And something else began to change, as more and more she took over 'my' thinking. She began to read out loud and to think out loud, so we could compare each others understanding and verify our understanding in the books exercises.
We spent three month together learning chemistry and at the end we were laughing a lot, about and at each others abilities.
Her finals came at the end of the year and we passed perfectly and there was no need anymore for her to take any more lessons, as she had found her way of learning.
Was I a teacher? Definitely not in chemistry, although I got payed for that.
One year later, after she finished high-school, she returned to me just to let me know about her decision to have enrolled at a University to major in chemistry, she was that good!
This was the icing on our cake and me more than speechless.
Exceptional? Not to me anymore.
Oct 17 2013: I always had the luxury, even at work or when I was teaching at organizations, to find solutions for students and with my teaching colleagues, when I wasn't the right person to teach.
We consider this only a luxury, because our usual education system isn't flexible enough to incorporate this very basic principle in teaching. And even worse, as many countries organized their schools based on civil servants with a lifelong job guarantee and very high hurdles to suspend someone once he(she got in.
Usually all of us have made this experience at school, that a new teacher in the same topic either boost or kill our interests. This got to stop! Teacher as well as students got to have the choice for each other, if true education was our real purpose.
There is no rocket science here at all. Just inflexible and poorly organized frameworks, because what gets 'produced' still is good enough to feed the job markets.
For our own sake, this got to be changed!
Oct 17 2013: Krisztian,
"...we don't want the time of a genius wasted on anything else than other geniuses"
Who is the judge of what "genius" is, who has it and who doesn't?
How do we search for genius that has lain dormant for whatever reason?
It is quite possible (probable, even) that genius can get cloaked in low self-esteem, lack of confidence etc. to the point where it goes unseen by those whose job it is to see it.
Someone with hidden or dormant genius might be initially seen as a "hopeless moron". Just think what a waste that would be!
Oct 16 2013: Yes Krisztian, I found it highly accurate also.
I must admit that throughout my teaching career I have worked with many an educator who have spoken about their students as "stupid". I do not know how a teacher can come right out and speak like this of children, but nevertheless I have heard it, so denying that this attitude exists does no one any good.
Why do you think people with a lot of knowledge act this way Krisztian?
When you personally know that your knowledge is more complete than the person you are speaking with, do you get impatient trying to explain yourself? Or are you patient and kind?
Oct 17 2013: I have heard teachers call students, not just stupid, but retards and other names. I have heard teachers say why should i listen to cookie provider (what she thought of parents.) Most of these were not what I called the best teachers. Because they had tenure, they were not even reprimanded.
Oct 17 2013: if the "student" is just lacking in talent, it is frustrating, but not a big problem. the problem arises when someone rejects the truth, because it is inconvenient for them to think that he doesn't understand something. choosing, instead, a simplistic but soothing world view. this is upsetting. and the most upsetting to see is many such people coming together, and reinforcing each other's false views.
the thing is, this behavior is so widespread, basically everyone does that. so as you educate yourself, you exile yourself from these circle-soothing societies one by one. it is a no win situation. how else to react to that than anger or depression?
Oct 17 2013: I think what distinguish us most regarding teaching, as well as on other topics, is, that you believe in the concept of truth and I don't.
What is this 'truth' you are teaching? Where does it come from? Who came up with it? Who comes to define it? Science? Religion? Economics?
At my time science told me about 9 planets in my solar system, now there is one missing. Where did it go?
The exile you describe by truth is nothing but choice to me.
And I choose too. We all do. As well as most of us trust in our choices, as otherwise there was little to non orientation in this world.
The reason why I chose evolution over creationism is, that it makes more sense to me in the way I perceive the world around me. And for the same reason I didn't choose for any religion.
Do I have the truth? In fact, I don't know, just the evidence I choose for makes it more plausible to me than what I didn't choose for.
When I hear you saying, that it upsets you 'to see is many such people coming together, and reinforcing each other's false views', it reminds me on religion.
If this is your mindset in teaching, you don't teach, you missionize!
My physics professor at the opening lesson at the University got it right, in saying, that all he was about to tell us in the upcoming semesters we should never take for granted under no circumstances.
That is what teaching is about, to enable other people to make up their own minds on anything so that they can decide for themselves.
Teaching isn't forging someones mind in 'true' and 'false' categories. Teaching is about enabling to make those choices by own reasons and reasoning.
This neither spares nor soften any form of anger or depression which may arise from that, yet nobody said that the struggle for wisdom is going to be easy, at least it didn't come with my instruction kit for planet earth ... :o)
Oct 17 2013: I can see where you, or anybody, for that matter might alternate between the two.
Learning truths, after you have spent decades following and believing falsehoods is not easy.
And then trying to teach someone what new knowledge you have learned and being faced with rejection is hard to deal with.

Michel & Ti-Jean
by George Rideout
"To Canada's greatest writer, Michel Tremblay. Your good friend, Jack Kerouac."
It's 1969, in a dingy bar in St. Petersburg, Florida. In one corner sits revolutionary writer and "King of the Beatniks" Jack Kerouac. He's alone, guzzling his beer, sporadically writing in his notebook. Or trying to anyway. It's one month before his death. In the other corner is bright-eyed 27-year-old Michel Tremblay. The determined young playwright has just published the ground-breaking Les Belles-Soeurs. The two literary heavy-weights spar over the art of writing, inspiration, sports, music, religion and the most innate quality they share: their unique Canadian heritage. Words fly and beer spills in this funny and touching showdown between two legendary French Canadian word-slingers. *Follow the Michel & Ti-Jean rehearsal process on our blog!

Duke Divinity School will celebrate the role of fiction in the Christian life by adopting a novel for community-wide reading and discussion this fall. The novel is Alice Sebold's best-selling book "The Lovely Bones," published in 2002.
Two reading-group-style conversations, led by faculty and staff, will take place from 12:20 to 1:20 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 14 in Room 0012 Westbrook, and on Tuesday, Oct. 27 in Room 0014 Westbrook. A panel discussion of the book's theological themes will follow from 12:20 to 1:20 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 18 in Room 0016 Westbrook.
The entire Divinity School community is invited to participate in this new initiative by reading the novel and attending these events, which are free and open to the public.
"Fiction invites us to imagine other possible lives, to approach questions of reality and truth by focusing on the particular and the concrete rather than the general and the abstract," says Professor Stephen Chapman [1], an organizer of the project. "Increasingly churches are sponsoring book clubs as lay people seek more profound aspects of life than are commonly on offer in contemporary society. We hope not only to extend our students' education to include fiction as another mode of theological reflection, but also to prepare them to guide their future parishioners in the attentive exploration of fictional works."
In "The Lovely Bones," 14-year old Susie Salmon tells the story of her own murder and its aftermath. She watches from heaven as her family tries to come to terms with her death and searches for justice. The book explores the impact of violence on family and community life, the mystery of evil, the finality of death, the emptiness that often accompanies suburban life, the limits of a scientific worldview, the fragility of human embodiment, the rich emotional life of childhood, and the deep human longing for forgiveness and reconciliation.
A major film adaptation [2] of the novel is set for release by Paramount Pictures on Dec. 11, 2009, directed by Peter Jackson and starring Rachel Weisz, Mark Wahlberg, Susan Sarandon, and Stanley Tucci.
Copies of the book are available for sale in the Divinity School's Cokesbury Bookstore.
For details about Divinity Reads, contact Chris Brady [3], director of the Offices of Student Life and Formation.

Frost hits western Canada, more coming
Temperatures dropped below freezing across a large area of western Saskatchewan and into central Alberta overnight, with the lows ranging from -1 Celsius to as much as -7, according to Environment Canada.
Another frost is also in the forecast for many areas Saturday morning, with lows in the -1 Celsius to -8 range expected in parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Manitoba is largely forecast to remain frost free through the weekend, although Environment Canada is calling for temperatures near the freezing mark in many areas.
The cool temperatures were said to be creating some concerns for farmers with crops still left to be harvested. However, the larger concern now is the wetness that is causing delays in many areas, according to market participants.
The frost will cause a few quality issues, but for most producers the crops are mature enough that a frost won't create problems anymore, said Ken Ball, a broker with Union Securities in Winnipeg. He said the wetness and the coolness in general was a much larger concern for producers now.
"Many growers are now saying that the frost is a good thing," said Ball noting that the frost will terminate the growing cycle and reduce the need for desiccation in many cases.

Multiplex Store shipping rates have been reduced!
Wednesday, September 3, 2014
I just purchased a new shipping module for The Multiplex Store that gives me more flexibility in setting shipping and handling costs, so US customers will see much better rates on all (physical) items in the Multiplex Store. If any of you guys in the US balked at the shipping costs before, be sure to check them out now.
Books are $5 for the first one then $1.50 per additional book (rather than $5 per book), saving you $3.50 if you order two books. T-shirts are now $4 for the first shirt (any size) and $1.50 per additional shirt. And sketches and other artwork are also $4 for the first item, then $1 per additional item.
Rates for international customers are unchanged; I still use USPS First Class International's rates as they are quoted by the USPS without any additional markup.
Now is as good as any to pick up that copy of Multiplex: There and Back Again!

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Senior quarterback Caleb Glennon threw for 129 yards and two touchdowns and registered the clinching interception as Amherst won the WIAA Division 5 championship with a 19-7 victory over Lancaster Thursday at Camp Randall.
It was the first title for Amherst (13-0) in its first title game appearance.
Despite playing without injured quarterback Chris Zblewski, the team's leading rusher and passer, Glennon engineered a nine-play, 66-yard touchdown drive in the first quarter and the game-winning nine-play, 73-yard drive in the third quarter.
Amherst finished the season having outscored opponents 510-109 in 13 games.
Lancaster (12-1) finished runner-up for the second straight season and remained at six titles, tied for second most in state history, because it couldn't capitalize on its chances.

What is the oldest profession? In Associate Professor of English Javier Ávila's new novel, La Profesión Más Antigua, (The Oldest Profession), the phrase acquires a double meaning as a professor at a fictional university in Puerto Rico probes corruption at his school and meaning in his life.
The psychological thriller, in Spanish, focuses on fortyish professor and writer Lorenzo Castillo at the worst period in his existence: his wife has left him, a younger colleague has replaced him as the "big man on campus" and he hasn't written in ten years. Severely depressed, he no longer gets to class on time or at all and feels psychologically dead. In addition, he is also obsessive-compulsive, weighing himself ten times a day on three different scales and cleaning his bathroom at 3:00 a.m.
In despair, Lorenzo calls the phone number on a card--the number for a prostitution service. The prostitute turns out to be Tamara, a former student of his whom he does not remember at first. Bonding as friends, the two discover corruption at the university that rises to the highest levels of administration. Disillusioned by their findings, Lorenzo and Tamara--who has her own mysterious reasons for revenge--expose and topple the university president and his cohorts. In the process, Lorenzo achieves catharsis and comes to recognize what is most meaningful to him. The novel ends on an optimistic note, with Tamara showing Lorenzo that he will write again.
Describing Lorenzo's journey, Ávila says, "In the darkness, Lorenzo sees light. It is necessary for him to hit his lowest point for him to rise up and become who he needs to be. He realizes that he has to let go of some things and do something positive."
Ávila describes the first part of La Profesión Más Antigua as a character study and the second part as a thriller. The psychological thriller genre appeals to Avila's novelistic fascination with people willfully doing things they know are wrong and hiding their actions afterward. "Exposure of the truth is blocked by resistance. But when resistance is obliterated, the truth comes out," he says. Personality imbalances and eccentricity also intrigue Ávila's literary imagination.
Why La Profesión Más Antigua as a title for Ávila's new book? Although a prostitute is the pivotal character, Ávila believes that the true oldest profession is teaching. "From day one, someone is teaching someone something," he says. "In La Profesión Más Antigua, a former student teaches a professor how to live."
Ávila's poetry appears throughout the novel, as they define, in Lorenzo's words, the stages the character experiences in life.
Javier Ávila's writing career began in the early 1990s with the publication of several books, but it was not until the release of his novel Different in 2001 that he gained critical acclaim for his work. The novel, a psychological thriller that portrays the alienation of a twenty-first-century loner in Puerto Rico's metropolitan area, topped the bestselling lists the following year and became required reading at several universities in Puerto Rico. In 2009, the film Miente, based on Different, was released worldwide. Ávila's follow-up novel, The Professor in Ruins (2006), confirmed his status in the psychological thriller genre.
While his novels have given him considerable recognition, Ávila's poetry made him one of the most acclaimed figures in Puerto Rican literature. Ávila's first poetry collection, Vidrios ocultos en la alfombra (Broken Glass under the Carpet) received the 2003 Olga Nolla Poetry Award in Puerto Rico. Two years later he became the only writer in history to receive a second Olga Nolla Poetry Award, this time for La simetría del tiempo (The Symmetry of Time). In 2006, La simetría del tiempo was awarded the Puerto Rico PEN Club Book of the Year Award. His third book of poetry, Criatura del olvido (Creature of Oblivion), was published in November 2007 and was awarded another PEN Club Award in 2008. In 2009 Ávila was honored with the Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña Poetry Award for his book El papel del difunto (The Dead Man's Position). The book was published in 2010.
In addition to his book publications, Ávila has been a satirical columnist and literary critic at Puerto Rico's leading newspaper, El Nuevo Día, since 2005. He has also been a textbook writer and editor for Ediciones Santillana and La Editorial UPR.
Ávila received the prestigious 2008 Outstanding Latino Cultural Arts, Literary Arts and Publications Award given by the American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education. Previous winners include Esmeralda Santiago and Alberto Ríos.
Ávila's new novel, La profesión más antigua (The Oldest Profession), was published in the summer of 2012.
Ávila is passionate about teaching and writing. "There are some things you can't retire from," he says. "It is in your blood and nothing can take it away. This is how I feel about teaching and writing. Scenes in the La Profesión Más Antigua are a tribute to teaching and students. For example, Lorenzo has a heart attack in class, and it is a student who saves him."
This fall, Ávila will be teaching creative writing, modern poetry and sections of English I.
"Teaching is an art form," he says. "You must keep practicing, finding new ways to communicate ideas. Every day, I look forward to coming to work."
Students, faculty and the public will be able to enjoy An Hour with Javier Ávila on November 12 and 12, when he will read from his work and respond to questions and answers. He will appear on November 12 from 3:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. in the Community Room at the Monroe Campus and on November 13 from 11:00 a.m. - noon at the David A. Reed Room, College Center 220.
Copies of La Profesión Más Antigua are available through Amazon and will be sold in the NCC bookstore.

About Me Education Industry
The plaque looked so much better than I had thought. Although, I was pretty frustrated that I could not have the plaque printed in landscape form and had to print it in portrait. That should be looked into so that customers have more options versus having to change or pay more just to have it printed in another format. Thanks.
