An overview of the current research literature on harmful sexual behaviour.Key points
Harmful sexual behaviour involves one or more children engaging in sexual discussions or acts that are inappropriate for their age or stage of development. These can range from using sexually explicit words and phrases to full penetrative sex with other children or adults (Rich, 2011).
The sexual development of all children takes place along a continuum as they grow older and develop. Social and cultural factors and experiences, including abuse and peer pressure, can influence a child's sexual development and can alter their ideas about sexual relationships. These ideas can lead to a child showing or engaging in harmful sexual behaviour which can be damaging to any children involved.
If a child does start to behave in a worrying manner especially if they use sexual actions or language that they should not be familiar with, it is important to address that behaviour immediately. Harmful sexual behaviours can indicate problems in a child's life and have a serious negative impact on any other children who are exposed to them.
When assessing if a child's sexual behaviour is harmful, it is important to not only take their age into account but also their physical, intellectual and emotional development.
Sexual behaviour between children is considered harmful if it involves coercion or threats of violence or one of the children is much older than the other. Davies (2012) suggested that there is cause for concern if there is an age difference of more than two years or if one of the children is pre-pubertal and the other post-pubertal.
In addition, Rich (2011) and Yates et al (2012) both stated that a young child can abuse an older child if the older one is disempowered because of disability.
The number of children who display harmful sexual behaviour is not fully known because it can be difficult to recognise and often goes unreported.
Radford et al (2011) found that two thirds of the contact sexual abuse experienced by 0-17 year olds was committed by peers.
Vizard et al (2007) reported that 30% to 50% of sexual abuse is perpetrated by adolescents, the majority of whom are boys.
Abuse and neglect
Children and young people who develop harmful sexual behaviours have usually experienced abuse and neglect themselves.
Jones and Ramchandani (1999) stated that around 50% of children with harmful sexual behaviours had been sexually abused themselves. Yates (2012) found all the children in his study of children with harmful sexual behaviour had experienced physical, emotional or sexual abuse.
Vizard (2007) suggested that parental mental health or domestic violence may also have an impact but this has not been fully explored.
Hawkes (2008) showed that previous abuse and neglect means that some children are unable to develop normal responses to distress or arousal and are confused about what is normal and appropriate behaviour. Yates et al (2012) suggested that children who abused siblings had different motivations to those who abused children from outside the home and those who abused siblings were often motivated by jealousy and anger as opposed to sexual arousal.
Offending behaviour
Pullman and Seto (2012) have linked the behaviours of sexually abusive adolescents with those who display other criminal behaviours. They note that a child who is showing signs of criminality may move towards acts of harmful sexual behaviour if they have a history of sexual abuse themselves or have had early exposure to pornography or sexual abuse.
Rich (2011), used a framework that compares the backgrounds of sexually abusive children with young offenders. He found that children who develop harmful sexual behaviours are likely to:
Cultural aspects can also play a role in how children develop ideas about sexuality and sexual behaviour. The huge changes in social media and mobile phone technology over the last decade have led to a massive shift in many children's ability to access and share sexual images and other sexual content.
Research carried out for the NSPCC into sexting among young people (Ringrose et al, 2012) found that the widespread use of sexual language and images among children and young people had influenced their behaviour. Children are being exposed to sexual ideas and concepts at a much younger age. This is reflected in their cultural practices of using sexual language, sharing sexual images and taking part in sexualised acts. The research showed that in many cases these images and acts were obtained through coercion or threats and that some girls felt there was pressure on them to participate in order to gain acceptance from their peers.
The research found that children and young people have become normalised to acts of sexual aggression and sexual exploitation and highlighted how intricately these have become embedded in their peer culture. The exchange of sexual images of girls is almost a form of currency among boys and the accumulation of pictures and sexualised messages is a means of building a reputation. The research indicated that because of these sexualised practices, children are entering adulthood with a skewed impression of what is appropriate sexual behaviour (Ringrose, 2012).
Durham (2006) explored how harmful sexual behaviour is closely linked to gender roles and the perception of masculinity. He also included aspects of homophobia and racism which act to reinforce misplaced aggression and ideas about male domination. These ideas are then reinforced through media images and mainstream pornography.
Erooga and Masson (2006) mentioned the importance of power as a factor in sexual abuse and built on the work of Finkelhor and Browne (1985) to explain how a child's early powerlessness during their own abuse can lead to them needing to dominate others.
Victims of harmful sexual behaviour may not know that what has been done to them is wrong, especially if it is seen as normal among their peers (Ringrose et al, 2012).
This normalisation can lead to them in turn behaving like this towards others (Brown, 2011 ). For many the fear and intimidation that was used to coerce them into taking part in these sexual activities will have serious long term effects on their emotional and developmental well-being (Goodyear-Brown, 2012). Many of the effects of these abusive situations can lead to the same effects that are associated with sexual abuse by adults.
The perpetrators of harmful sexual behaviour may themselves be suffering from the effects of previous abuse and their behaviours may be part of their reaction to it. Providing therapeutic support to children displaying these behaviours can help increase their resilience to behaving in a way that can harm themselves or others (Hackett, 2006).
The importance of service provision
Studies in the US have shown that up to 30% of children with harmful sexual behaviour go on to commit sexual offences as adults if they do not receive any treatment. For those children who do receive treatment, however, the figure drops to between 5% and 14% (Rich, 2011).
Janes (2011) found that children who received therapeutic support were less likely to go on to commit abuse as an adult compared to children who received no support.
Approaches to treatment
The causes of harmful sexual behaviour are wide ranging and involve a variety of aspects from a child's life. This means that treatment must take a holistic approach and not just attempt to change the child's behaviour but must examine and treat any factors that could be causing the child to engage in harmful sexual behaviour (Hackett, 2006).
Helping children with harmful sexual behaviour should include elements of sexual offence specific work, but St. Amand, Bard and Silovsky (2008) warned that seeing a child only as an offender can do more harm than good.
Multisystemic therapy (MST)
Treatment for children and young people with harmful sexual behaviour was originally based on the same models used for adult offenders (Smallbone et al, 2008). Recent changes in thinking have drawn more comparisons between children with harmful sexual behaviours and youth offenders rather than adult sexual offenders (Beerhuizen and Brugman, 2012; Janes, 2011; Pullman and Seto, 2012).
This shift in thinking resulted in many programmes and services being based on multisystemic therapy (MST).
MST is based on the idea that negative outcomes, such as, harmful sexual behaviour are a result of the relationships that children have. These can include relationships with family, peers, school, the wider community or any services that they may have contact with.
MST uses outcome focused interventions to directly alter harmful or negative relationships to reduce the triggers that can cause harmful sexual behaviours (Smallbone et al, 2008; Henggeler et al, 2009).
In the UK, there are several centres of good practice that provide therapeutic support for harmful sexual behaviour in children.
The Greater Manchester Adolescent Project (GMAP), the Assessment, Intervention, Moving on (AIM) and the National Clinical Assessment and Treatment Service (NCATS) are all services that have developed good frameworks for assessing and treating children with harmful sexual behaviour (Brown, 2011).
In other parts of the UK, however, the provision of services is patchy.

Biggest HITS of 2012...So FarWith a release lined up from each of the 3 Khans in the coming weeks, there is a lot of churn expected at the box office. So before JTHJ, Talaash and Dabangg 2 set new records and knock some names out, here's a look at 2012's big hits so far.
By Anand Vaishnav, IndiaTimes | October 31, 2012, 11:04 am IST
Despite the absence of a hit score; Emraan Hashmi's popularity, Bipasha Basu's skin-show and some Bmovie 3D thrills drew in the audiences, and made this medium-budget horror flick a bonafide hit.
Rs 67 crore

A new effort to raise money at Christian Heritage Academy in Rocky Mount allows donors to sponsor students who make a difference volunteering in the community.
School leaders were finding donors wanted to make their dollar go further, so instead of sponsoring students to run in a 5k race like in years past, leaders came up with the idea to start the Heritage Project, where donors sponsor students to go out into the community and volunteer.
"By that person donating that dollar to the school, it helps the school, and then it also helps, for instance, a group that they're interested in," said Christian Heritage Academy's assistant administrator Tony Quist.
"It's an honor and a privilege to serve to your community," said junior Kenny Tooney.
Quist says each year the school needs to raise $145,000 and the 9th through 12th graders are helping to do that by volunteering.
If you would like to sponsor student hours or need student volunteers, contact the school at 540-483-5855.

Ninja Professional Blender: An Incredibly Efficient Kitchen Device
Have you ever thought exactly why you must select effective blending gadget for your kitchen? For that matter, Ninja Professional Blender can illustrate it to you completely. Produced in Massachusetts by Euro-Pro, this midrange house ware is apparently a must have in all kitchens ninja 1100 blender youtube granted its design and functionality in blending. The evolution of this blender has found it improve on three fronts such as mixing, ice crushing and blending. This has become a 72-ounce plastic jar (BPA) right now.
Why this device has turn out to be so popular to many users?
Readily available recipes
This blender can perform various ninja mega kitchen system functions involve in creating different recipes like ice crushing and chopping almonds. This blender can do incredible fine cut within minutes making it best among the rest.
High power
The Ninja apparently utilizes a power of 1000 watts. This makes it suitable for easy ice crushing and fruit-blending with remarkable ease. With this blender, dealing with vegetables can be so simple due to the type of motor power it has making it the best among all blenders on the market. The motor is available in with four choices; three speeds-based on the task at hand, and a pulse setting.
Dishwasher safe parts
This is a very sensitive and tough requirement of blenders according to the fact that the blades are normally very sharp and could easily slice one?s fingers during washing. The pitcher, the blades and the lid of the blender are dishwasher safe, so there?s no reason to wash and clean them by yourself.
Blade distribution on the stem
The spread of the blades along the main stem is known as the unique feature of this blender. This ensures that the blades are all over and not restricted to the bottom of the jar. With this, food processing is made evenly ninja blender reviews as all the contents, not just those on the bottom part, are pureed.
No leaking chance
It?s a fact that when blenders are used for many times already, its parts will be disjointed creating room for leaks. Even so, the Ninja Blender won?t make this happen. The Ninja comes in a single piece and its blades are lightly mounted on the base part of the blender. Though lightly mounted, the chances of getting dislodged are nil.
What are the reasons on why Ninja Professional Blender should be the blender of your choice?
A very friendly price
The cost of the Ninja is about $100 only, which is too affordable for a very exquisite gadget, unlike to the other costly high powered brands such as the Blendtec.
The number of blades
The Ninja incorporates a single set of blender blades, which executes all the chores in contrast to other models which tend to have several sets. With the Ninja, less hassle is experienced when doing several tasks since you need not select the kind of blade to use in a specific job. This can be of great help to older persons because they are no longer particular with the type of task to do.
Although the Ninja is very noisy, there are noisier brands such as the Nutribullet. The Ninja is preferred by many compared to that of the other noisier models.
The Ninja strength
In terms of ice crushing, the Ninja can handle this for the fact that it is very strong compared to that of the other cheap models out there. This is unlike other models which would eventually give in and break due to the intensity of such process.
When compared to other lower brands, the Ninja can last longer making it a more sensible choice for your kitchen.
As a conclusion, in spite of its flaws, the advantages can still surpass them, that?s why it is very beneficial to use in the kitchen area.

Redknapp warns Rangers to shape up or ship out!
®Copyright MediaCorp
In English football news,
Harry Redknapp is willing to sack players who under-perform at Queens Park Rangers, in an attempt to save the club from certain relegation.
After 13 matches, Rangers have only 4 points and their previous manager Mark Hughes paid the price when he was released a few days ago.
That allowed the appointment of former Tottenham manager Redknapp to take place over the weekend.
And addressing the media for the 1st time last night, he told his players to either shape up or ship out.
QPR will travel to the Stadium of Light to take on Sunderland tomorrow morning.
Still on football news,
Former Norway and Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the first to be inducted into the country's Hall of Fame.
The 39 year old says, he's proud of his accomplishments and hopes that others have sought happiness from his footballing career.
Solskjaer is best known for winning the Champions League for United with a last-gasp goal against Bayern Munich in the 1999 final.
He was also recently named, 'Manager of the Season' after his Molde side won their 2nd Norwegian championship in 2 years.
In regional football news,
Thailand will be the 1st team to qualify for the semifinals of the Suzuki Cup, if they beat Myanmar in a Group A match later tonight.
Having edged out the Philippines 2-1 in the opening match, the Thais can move into the last 4 if they defeat Myanmar in Bangkok.
But they'll have to get the job done without Datsakorn Thong-lao.
The midfield general could miss the match due to a recurring groin injury.
Thailand as 3-time champions, have not won the AFF championship in 10 years.
Meanwhile, despite their opening defeat, the Filipinos must defeat Vietnam this evening in order to survive.
The Vietnamese were held to a 1-1 draw by Myanmar over the weekend.

Palit GeForce GTX 670 JetStream review -
Product Showcase
The GeForce GTX 670 has a maximum power consumption of 170~180 Watts, you'll need to power the card with two 6-pin PCIe PEG leads from your power supply. Due to the small PCB the connectors look a little oddly placed, but that is because the cooler is longer than the actual PCB.
Power supply wise we recommend a 550 power supply to start with, with one card of course.
The GeForce GTX 670 PCB measures 9.5 in length. Display outputs include two dual-link DVIs, one HDMI and one DisplayPort connector. The top part has been kept open for ventilation so that the card can exhaust hot air, the cooler design however will vent hot air into the chassis.
The JetStream GeForce GTX 670 has a similar looking cooler design that the JetSTream GTX 680 also uses, however this one is 2-fan 3-slot based and the capacity much lower. Inside the fan acoustic dampening materials have been used to prevent fan noise and unwanted weird tones. Once activated an LED will emit blue light from the cooler.
Once the ambient air has been used to cool the GPU, the hot air will be blown only partially outside the PC through the exhaust as you can see above the monitor connectors. However most of the heat will be blown into the chassis itself as the cooling casing is open close to the PCB and rear side. Make sure you have proper ventilation inside the PC chassis... always.
In this review we take the Palit GeForce GTX 750 Ti KalmX. Palit's offering is the most slinet of them all, as it uses passive cooling. That's right, just a big heatsink is being used. The KalmX ru...

In this review we take the Palit GeForce GTX 750 Ti StormX Dual for a test-drive. Palit's offering is the fastest GTX 750 Ti we have seen to date as it has been factory overclocked intensely on the G...

Mr. X in Bombay (1964) CDRip Direct Download Mediafire Links
Shobha Mathur lives a wealthy lifestyle with her Professor dad, who is now carrying out experiments on various issues. One day while doing so, he makes an employee named Manohar drink a portion, which results in his death. Rajan comes to their rescue, gets rid of the body, and starts blackmailing Mathur, which can only end when Shobha marries Rajan. Then one day Shobha meets a poet by the name of Sudarshan and both of them fall in love. When he asks for her hand in marriage, Shobha refuses. The next day Shobha finds a note addressed to her from Sudarshan in which he has stated that he is going to kill himself. Thereafter, every night she starts to hear Sudarshan's voice, blaming her for his death, as his soul is unable to find solace. With Sudarshan out of the way, Rajan readies himself for marrying Shobha - and it looks like he may have his way with the Mathurs after all - without having to encounter any more obstacles

After winning two races early on Friday's card, jockey Danny Coa fell from his mount in the fifth race and sat out the sixth, as required by track rules. But Coa's afternoon wasn't finished.
The 30-year-old native of Venezuela returned to ride two more winners, raising his total for the meet to 36 and serving notice he will be a rider to watch closely over the final three-plus weeks of the season.
Tampa Bay Downs leading jockey Daniel Centeno also fell from his horse in the fifth-race incident. He was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa for examination, then released with no major injuries.
"I waited a race to see if I had any headaches or felt dizzy," said Coa, who was cleared by paramedics before returning to the saddle. "I felt good, had full range of motion and felt 100 percent to ride, so I did and it paid off."
Coa started strong by capturing the third and fourth races. In the third, a six-furlong claiming event, he was aboard 4-year-old filly Promise Me Joy for owner Sturdy Boy Stables LLC and trainer Robert O'Connor II. Coa returned to the winner's circle after the fourth, a mile-and-40-yard claiming contest, on Notta Boat for owner David Gilinsky and trainer Greg Griffith. Notta Boat paid $22.20 to win.
In the eighth race, a 1-mile claiming event on the turf, Coa piloted 5-year-old gelding Umbraggio to victory for owner Clarke Ohrstrom and trainer Jane Cibelli. Umbraggio was making his first start in 18 months. Coa then teamed with 5-year-old mare Glass Bottle, the 2-5 favorite, to win the six-furlong ninth race, a claiming affair, for owner Drake Smith and trainer Robert G. Smith (he was a replacement for Centeno in that race).
Coa's scheduled mount in the sixth race, 4-year-old filly One Wild Fire, was ridden to victory by Scott Spieth. Coa previously had won five on a single card at Turfway Park and four at Churchill Downs.
Saturday's Thoroughbred action includes an exciting 11-race live card and major simulcast action from around the country. Grade III, $250,000 Sam F. Davis Stakes winner Falling Sky; Davis runner-up Dynamic Sky; and Grade II, $350,000 Tampa Bay Derby runner-up Java's War will try to strengthen their Triple Crown credentials Saturday in a pair of major Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands prep races that will be simulcast at Tampa Bay Downs.
Locally, the card that begins at 12:40 p.m. includes the featured 10
race, an allowance/$32,000 optional claiming event for horses 4-years-old and up at a mile-and-a-sixteenth on the turf. The top contenders in the 10-horse field include a pair of 5-year-old geldings: Saintly Love, winner of two of three starts at the current meet, and Will Run for Beer, who has posted three victories and a second here since Jan. 9.
Also expected to be tough are Grade III winner Let It Rock, still dangerous at 8, and Lots of Love Mom, a 6-year-old gelding rounding into form after a seven-month layoff.
On the simulcast scene, Falling Sky, an upset winner of the Sam F. Davis on Feb. 2 and the third-place finisher in the Tampa Bay Derby, is part of a 10-horse field entered in the Grade I, $1-million Arkansas Derby at a mile-and-an-eighth at Oaklawn Park.
Falling Sky, who finished fourth in the $75,000 Inaugural Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs on Dec. 1 as a 2-year-old, is owned by Newtown Anner Stud, James Covello and Joseph Bulger and trained by John Terranova II. At 10-1 on the morning line, Falling Sky will be ridden by Martin Garcia.
Also entered in the Arkansas Derby is Divine Ambition, who was third in the $100,000 Pasco Stakes here on Jan. 12 and sixth in the Davis. Owned by Silverton Hill LLC and trained by Darrin Miller, Divine Ambition will be ridden by Brian Hernandez, Jr.
The Arkansas Derby is the 10
race on Oaklawn's card and scheduled to start at 6:28 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
Closer to the site of the May 4 Run for the Roses, Java's War and Dynamic Sky are among 14 3-year-olds set to contest the Grade I, $750,000 Toyota Blue Grass Stakes at a mile-and-an-eighth on Keeneland's all-weather track. The race is the 10
on Keeneland's card, with a probable post time of 5:40 p.m.
Java's War, owned by Charles E. Fipke and trained by Kenneth McPeek, rallied from far back to finish second in the Tampa Bay Derby on March 9 at odds of 32-1, while never threatening the winner, Verrazano. Julien Leparoux will ride Java's War, who is a 4-1 second choice on the morning line behind Uncaptured at 7-2.
Uncaptured is owned by John C. Oxley and trained by Mark Casse, who also campaign 10-1 shot Dynamic Sky. The latter, who will be ridden by Joel Rosario, finished fourth in the Tampa Bay Derby after a strong second in the Sam F. Davis on Feb. 2 and an earlier victory here Jan. 12 in the $100,000 Pasco Stakes.
Another Blue Grass entrant with Tampa Bay Downs experience is Barry Butzer and Wachtel Stable's My Name Is Michael, who was third in the Davis before an eighth-place performance three weeks ago in the Grade III Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati Racing Spiral Stakes at Turfway Park. My Name Is Michael is trained by William Mott and will be ridden by Shaun Bridgmohan.
Another Tampa Bay Downs connection to mention in the Blue Grass is jockey Jose Espinoza, named aboard the John Terranova II-trained West Hills Giant.
Bettors who consider strong Tampa Bay Downs form a precursor to graded-stakes success elsewhere have several other options to pursue Saturday, starting with Keeneland's Grade I, $300,000 Jenny Wiley Stakes for older fillies and mares at a mile-and-a-sixteenth on the turf. The Jenny Wiley is the ninth race.
Among its nine entrants is Stud TNT's 5-year-old mare Old Tune, trained by Todd Pletcher and ridden by Joel Rosario. The Brazilian-bred Old Tune won both the Grade III, $150,000 Endeavour Stakes and the Grade III, $150,000 Hillsborough Stakes on the Tampa Bay Downs turf in her first two starts since being imported following her Brazilian Filly Triple Crown sweep, and she is riding a six-race winning streak.
Oaklawn's eighth race, the Grade II, $500,000 Oaklawn Handicap at a mile-and-an-eighth, boasts as its favorite Janis R. Whitham's 5-year-old Fort Larned, winner last fall of the Breeders' Cup Classic at Santa Anita. Trained by Ian Wilkes and ridden by Brian Hernandez, Jr., Fort Larned is the 7-5 morning-line favorite in the 10-horse field.
Fort Larned competed at Tampa Bay Downs during the winter of 2012, finishing fourth in a handicap before winning the $60,000 Challenger Stakes on March 3 to commence his climb to glory. "The Challenger was a very important part of his program, to get him going," Wilkes said later. "That really kicked off his year."
Two horses that made their most recent starts at Tampa Bay Downs, 4-year-old filly Kune Kune and 5-year-old mare Last Full Measure, are part of the 10-horse field for Keeneland's Grade I, $300,000 Madison Stakes at seven furlongs on the all-weather track. The Madison is the eighth race.
The English-bred Kune Kune, owned by Steve Ballou and Harriet Waldron and trained by Joan Scott, won an allowance/$62,500 optional claiming race going a mile on the turf locally on Feb. 20. She will be ridden by Corey Lanerie. Last Full Measure finished third in the Endeavour Stakes and ninth in the Hillsborough. She is owned by St. George Farm Racing, LLC and trained by Philip Oliver and will be ridden by Corey Nakatani.
Not to be overlooked among the Tampa Bay Downs products stepping up to the plate Saturday is 5-year-old mare Spectacular Sky, one of the favorites for the Grade II, $200,000 Distaff Handicap, a six-furlong fixture which is the eighth race at Aqueduct. Spectacular Sky won the $50,000 Manatee Stakes on Feb. 9 at Tampa Bay Downs. She is owned by Farnsworth Stables LLC and trained by Martin D. Wolfson and will be ridden by Luis Saez.
Jockey Ronnie Allen, Jr., continues to recuperate in the intensive care unit of St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa after Wednesday's spill in which he suffered two broken ribs, a collapsed lung and a lacerated liver. His fiancée, trainer Maria Bowersock, said Ronnie was able to walk around his room Friday and is looking forward to his release, hopefully by early next week.
Forced to find a replacement jockey in Friday's first race for her 3-year-old filly Ghost Flower, who won by seven lengths in her previous start under Ronnie last month, Bowersock turned to brother Mike Allen, who rode the Kentucky-bred to a neck victory from favorite Alinator. Ghost Flower is owned by Burkholder Stables.

Irma's Colorful Swedish Playhouse
Dos Family
My parents swear it's not true, but I'm convinced I have some Scandinavian ancestry to account for my deep love of their design aesthetic. And it turns out this aesthetic carries over into play spaces for children; like this one, Irma's Playhouse, with the trademark white walls with pops of bright color.
A little bit of diy craftiness, some vintage finds and a dash of Ikea and you've got the recipe for Scandinavian flavor. Irma's space has a play kitchen, reading (or napping bench), a doll bed, artwork, toys - all the things a good playhouse needs.
See more photos of this enviable space on Dos Family.

Oh my goodness, I am FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW! This is Childhood Perfection. Absolutely perfect.
Wow, that is an amazing playhouse! Very lucky little girl. How cute is her dress, too? The Scandis do it right...
i can't get over this! PERFECTION! very, very well done, you!
Wow - that is beautiful. You've totally inspired me. I very recently painted my kids old playhouse a rather fab 'scooter red' and made some new door curtains. However, inside it is uninspiring and generally used to hide away all the kid's outdoor bits and pieces. It's not as big as yours, but even so I now I want to make more of the inside. Thanks for the inspiration. See my work so far at http://buttercupdaysuk.blogspot.com/2011/05/what-swell-party-it-was.html
you just made me cry and dramatically topple over because I am SO INSANELY JEALOUS. :(
This is exactly what I wanted to have as a child. I even considered moving into our tiny little detached garage because I wanted to have a place of my own so badly. And I have just decided that I will absolutely make that dream true one day and start building a little garden shed to use as my study the minute I buy my own house.
And a treehouse for my future children. Because every kid should have a place that is entirely their own. Your daughter must rank high among the happiest kids in the world.
Can you please tell me where you got those pillows? LOVE LOVE LOVE

AMAZING! I've been on the hunt for an authentic Thai curry sauce, and this is it. The only thing I did differently is use Thai basil instead of regular basil and oyster sauce instead of fish sauce. It was wonderful!
Thai Green Curry Coconut Sauce
- One 14-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Thai green curry paste, or more to taste
- 1 cup chicken stock or low-sodium broth
- Four 1-inch strips of lemon zest (see Alternatives)
- One 1-inch piece of fresh ginger--peeled, thinly sliced and lightly smashed
- Four 1-inch strips of lime zest (see Alternatives)
- 3 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped basil
- 1. In a medium saucepan, whisk 1/4 cup of the coconut milk with the curry paste. Stir in the remaining coconut milk, the stock, lemon zest, ginger, lime zest, 2 tablespoons of the fish sauce and the brown sugar and bring to a simmer. Cook the sauce over moderately high heat until reduced by one-quarter, about 15 minutes.
- 2. Using a slotted spoon, remove the lemon zest, ginger and lime zest and discard. Stir in the lime juice, cilantro, basil and the remaining 1 tablespoon of fish sauce; transfer to a bowl.
- Alternatives:Replace the lemon zest with the bottom 4 inches of 1 stalk of lightly smashed fresh lemongrass, and replace the lime zest with 4 kaffir lime leaves that have been lightly crushed.
- Applications: Use as a stir-fry sauce or as a poaching liquid for chicken, shrimp and vegetables. Or, toss with Asian noodles or serve over rice.
- Make Ahead: The curry sauce can be refrigerated in a glass jar for up to 2 days.

Don't Let Go (album)
|Don't Let Go
|Live album by Jerry Garcia Band
|January 23, 2001
|May 21, 1976
|Grateful Dead Records
|Jerry Garcia Band chronology
|Jerry Garcia chronology
Don't Let Go is the third live album, and fourth album overall, by the Jerry Garcia Band. It was recorded on May 21, 1976 at the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco, with a bonus track recorded on September 11, 1976 at the Keystone in Berkeley. It was released on January 23, 2001.
From January 1976 to August 1977, the lineup of the Jerry Garcia Band was the one featured on this recording — Jerry Garcia on guitar and vocals, Keith Godchaux on keyboards, Donna Jean Godchaux on vocals, John Kahn on bass, and Ron Tutt on drums. Another album recorded by this lineup is Pure Jerry: Theatre 1839, San Francisco, July 29 & 30, 1977.
Jerry Garcia plays a Travis Bean guitar on this recording.
Critical reception[edit]
|Professional ratings
|Review scores
|The Music Box
On Allmusic, Lindsay Planer said, "This band is about infectious rhythms and soul. Garcia plays with an energy and freedom of spirit which he rarely achieved during his final two decades with the Grateful Dead. This was likely due, at least in part, to the encyclopedic catalog of material... The band uses the structure of each song as a platform for their unique brand of instinctual aural acrobatics. The interplay amongst the instrumental quartet is best described as inspired telepathy.... Don't Let Go is highly recommended for the curious enthusiast as well as the insatiable Deadhead."[1]
In The Music Box, John Metzger wrote, "Unfortunately, Don't Let Go is not the definitive, perfect set from JGB, though Deadheads undoubtedly will find the album — which was compiled from a Bay Area concert held on May 21, 1976 — to be a must-have collection. Likewise, the uninitiated who might be open to this sort of thing certainly will find the spark of brilliance that shines through many of the tracks and hides just beneath the surface on several others. Those most passive of Deadheads and the just faintly curious, however, might want to wait for something a little less flawed."[2]

Deirdre O'Connell and Noah Robbins in a scene from The Vandal
(Photo credit: Joan Marcus)
Hamish Linklater is best known as an extraordinary young actor who gets better with each performance and who is at home in classical plays (Shakespeare in the Park's The Merchant of Venice) as he is in contemporary work (Theresa Rebeck's Seminar). Now it is revealed that he is also a playwright with his first New York staging, the world premiere of The Vandal presented by The Flea Theater. The Flea's artistic director Jim Simpson has gathered a cast of equally accomplished performers, Zach Grenier, Deirdre O'Connell and Noah Robbins, for this first outing. While Linklater exhibits an accomplished ear for the way people speak and an admirable shorthand ability to delineate character, The Vandal is basically an over-extended anecdote in dramatic form.
When the play begins, O'Connell is discovered sitting on a bench in the cold awaiting a bus in Kingston, New York, that never seems to arrive. From her posture, she looks like she has spent a great deal of her time waiting for things that fail to happen. She is accosted by a young man of 17 (Robbins) who begins a conversation but really wants her to buy him a six-pack of Budweiser. The young man is accomplished at getting information out of people, though most of her answers are cagey, asking as much as they tell. It transpires that she has been paying a call on a friend at the hospital across the way, while he has been visiting the grave in the cemetery behind them of a high school classmate who committed suicide. She seems to be the more depressed of the two.
When the young man's guilt trip succeeds, we next see the woman at the nearby liquor store. The cynical owner claims to know the young man and wants news of him. He also questions the middle-aged woman as though he doesn't believe her reason for wanting the beer, and questions both her ID and her credit card. At that point, the woman returns to the bench and the grateful young man. By now we know that one of them may be lying – and possibly both. And which is the vandal? The play eventually turns supernatural, requiring a suspension of disbelief. The woman and the storeowner meet again, and that is about it.

(Photo credit: Joan Marcus)
Simpson has chosen to direct in a very slow, methodically studied fashion so that everything seems to take longer than it should. Although the running time is only 75 minutes, every scene goes on too long until it becomes tedious since we learn so little from each encounter. The characters circle the same topics again and again without revealing a great deal of new information. The set design by David M. Barber beautifully establishes the three distinct locales needed (the bus stop, the liquor store and the cemetery) in a very small space, but lit by Brian Aldous the sets fail to create the spooky atmosphere needed for what turns into a supernatural tale on a dark night.
The actors, however, do a fine job with Linklater's well-conceived characters. With her posture, body language and delivery, O'Connell tells us everything we need to know about the life of this woman who has been through hard times and expects little from life. Like the young man he played in the Broadway revival of Brighton Beach Memoirs, Robbins is immediately recognizable as the loquacious, upbeat teenager who uses words and stories to build a wall around himself and hide who he really is. Grenier, who can currently be seen on the CBS series, The Good Wife, here creates a man whose very skepticism and disparagement masks a soul who has been damaged by his previous experiences.
The Vandal has some excellent writing and fine performances by its trio of actors. If you are looking for a completely satisfying evening in the theater, this won't be it. However, if you want to be in at the beginning of the career of a talented new playwright who has not yet found his own voice, you may not want to miss Hamish Linklater's first New York play.
The Vandal (through February 17)

Teaching & Assessment
The programme is centred upon a productive dialogue between art practice and theory within, across and beyond individual academic disciplines
How you will be taught
The programme is delivered through active learning in the studio and the sharing of ideas through discussion. The main components of teaching at Levels 1 and 2 are studio projects along with workshops, lectures, seminars and tutorials.
At Levels 3 and 4 you will increasingly engage in self-directed research supported by technical and idea based workshops, lectures, seminars, group and individual tutorials.
What you will study
Level 1
Students can enter Art, Philosophy, Contemporary Practices after successfully completing our Art and Design (General Foundation) course (apply for course WW12) or on successful completion of a recognised Foundation Course or equivalent (apply for course WV15). This is normal for many art and design courses.
In the Art and Design (General Foundation) course you will learn the core values which will enrich and expand your personal visual language as well as a module in Philosophy that will introduce you to key thinkers and themes from the history of philosophy, and build skills of critical reading and thinking.
Level 2
- Foundations of Contemporary Practice 1 (Towards a Vocabulary of Practice)
- Contemporary Practice 2 (Towards a Personal Voice)

Portfolio & Interview
Suitable applicants may be called for interview. For interview, a comprehensive portfolio of visual artwork and an appropriate example of written work must be submitted.
What skills, qualities and experience do I need?
This truly interdisciplinary course requires abilities to think both creatively and analytically: you should feel equally comfortable making art in the studio, engaging with pencil, paint, ink, cameras or sculpture - as well as reading and writing. Both are required in this course which links the practice of making with the expression of critical understanding. Artists and philosophers teach this unique course, aided by academics in film studies, literature, art history and theory. A wide range of cross-disciplinary practices are reflected in the course content. Writing is an integral part of this course, as is the making of art. Students in Level 3 have the opportunity for foreign exchange if desired. An honours degree exhibition, a dissertation and an oral presentation of ideas and work are the culmination of four years of study.
Applicants should have the relevant qualifications listed in the 'Entry Requirements' section including English and Art/Design. A sound grasp of English is essential for textual analysis. Qualified applicants may be invited for interview on campus and will be asked to bring a portfolio and sample of essay writing.
Tips for your application
It is not the everyday student who is suited to this course: we look for that unusual individual who combines many interests and abilities. Reading, watching films, attending theatre, listening to music, engaging in performance, travelling, climbing and writing poetry might be the interests, for example, of the sort of person who also enjoys making art and discussing ideas through intellectual debate. What we look for is a natural curiosity about the world, evidence of reflection and contemplation, active participation in making and doing, and a willingness to encounter new ideas. Applicants might come from many backgrounds. We do not expect lengthy experience with either art or philosophy, but rather look for someone with creative visual skills (in a sketchbook, drawings, photographs, etc) balanced with an ability to write clearly (evident in an essay). The interview process is the chance for us to assess a potential student who will work hard and will equally be your chance to learn more about a challenging and multi-faceted course.

Bone Marrow Transplants (BMT) for pediatric patients is a treatment option for cancerous and non-cancerous disorders. 75 percent of the 30 to 45 pediatric BMTs that are performed at Johns Hopkins are done for bone marrow-related cancers and 25 percent are performed on patients with non-malignant disorders. Johns Hopkins is fully approved by the Children's Oncology Group, the National Marrow Donor Program, the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapies, and is a Kaiser Permanente Center of Excellence for pediatric BMT on the East Coast.
Bone marrow transplantation is one of the best forms of immunotherapy that is available today. It can be effective, especially when chemotherapy is not, but at the same time, carries some of the most risks of severe side effects of any treatment. Side effects may occur as a result of the high doses of chemotherapy used to wipe out the patient's immune system prior to transplanting the bone marrow. They also occur as a result of radiation therapy and graft-versus-host disease. Success of the transplant may depend on an effective preparative regimen that precedes the transplant and the degree of match. The Johns Hopkins Pediatric BMT program is dedicated to optimizing the success of BMT while minimizing these risks.
Over the past 10 years, fatal complications after BMT have fallen by one-third due to:
• Matches:
Improvements in HLA typing – we can now identify transplant donors who match better
• Support: Supportive care has improved to help patients overcome side effects, for example, with more effective anti-fungal and antiviral medications
• GVH: The prevention and treatment of graft-versus-host disease have improved
• Tolerization: Johns Hopkins has developed a method to make donor bone marrow more tolerant to the patient, thus reducing the chance of serious graft-versus-host disease. Typically, the chemotherapy drug cyclophosphamide is given as preparation before a transplant. Our new approach is to use this drug at a critical time after the marrow graft is given to eliminate the cells that cause graft rejection and graft-versus-host disease. We are using this new method to decrease morbidity of transplant procedures and reduce the need for long-term immune suppression.
BMT for Cancer
- Relapsed Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL): ALL is the most common pediatric malignancy, and is usually curable with chemotherapy alone; however, when children with ALL experience relapse, BMT often offers the best second chance for cure.
- Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) – BMT is often used as part of the initial therapy of patients with a sibling whose bone marrow is a match; in addition, BMT may be used as curative therapy for AML in the event initial therapy fails.
- Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia – While the targeted therapy Gleevec is a primary treatment for adults with CML, the long-term effects of the drug are unknown for children. BMT remains a curative treatment option for children with CML who have well-matched donors.
- Recurrent or refractory Lymphoma – BMT is typically used for disease that has recurred or has not responded well to initial therapy. The patient's own marrow stem cells may often be used to cure this disease.
- Neuroblastoma – A subset of these common childhood solid tumors are at high risk for relapse due to properties of the cells, disease staging, and age of the child, and for these patients, autologous BMT contributes to the chance of cure, as part of a multimodal approach including chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, differentiation therapy, and immunotherapy.
- Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumors – a rare tumor that occurs most often in the abdomen of adolescents and young adults.
- Ewing Sarcoma – a sarcoma that is sensitive to chemotherapy and radiation; some patients with metastatic or recurrent disease may benefit from BMT.
- Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma – these cancers of skeletal muscle may occur in any part of the body, and the use of BMT is being explored for patients with high-risk disease in conjunction with treatments attacking the cancer stem cell.
- Wilms Tumor – BMT may be used for selected patients with a high-risk pattern of relapse.
- Brain Tumors – BMT is used in selected cases of aggressive, chemosensitive pediatric brain cancer. In some cases, high-dose chemotherapy with marrow stem cell rescue may be a better alternative to radiation in children given the delicate nature of their young, growing brains.
- Osteosarcoma – High-dose radioisotope therapy targeted to these bone tumors is being explored in combination with high-dose chemotherapy with marrow stem cells for patients with otherwise incurable disease.
BMT for Non-Malignant Diseases
- Severe Aplastic Anemia (95 percent success rate in children with a matched sibling donor)
- Fanconi Anemia and other inherited marrow failure syndromes
- Sickle Cell Anemia
- Thalassemia
- Severe Combined Immune Deficiency, Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome, and other congenital immune deficiencies
- Granulocyte Disorders
- X-Linked Autoimmunity-Allergic Dysregulation Syndrome (XLAAD), Autoimmune Enteropathy, Rasmussen's Syndrome, and other severe autoimmune diseases
- Adrenoleukodystrophy and other metabolic diseases
What to Expect
STEP 1: Pre-transplant Evaluation (1 week, outpatient)
STEP 2: Preparative Regimen (1 week, inpatient)
STEP 3: Engraftment (2 – 3 weeks, plus additional time as needed for recovery from side effects, inpatient)
STEP 4: Post-transplant Follow-up (2 months, outpatient)
STEP 1: Pre-transplant Evaluation
• Diagnosis
• Disease Status
• Organ Function
• Donor Health and Safety
Evaluate Active/Latent Infections
Identify suitably matched donor or store patient stem cells
STEP 2: Preparative Regimen
BMT patients receive either chemotherapy alone or chemotherapy with radiation for one week as an inpatient at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center. Medications are given to prevent nausea and reduce the risk of infection and other side effects.
STEP 3: Engraftment
The procedure for transplanting bone marrow into a patient is similar to a blood transfusion. It is given intravenously over a few hours during the patient's hospital stay.
Grafts may be:
1) allogeneic: from healthy donor, related or unrelated, or
2) autologous: from the patient's own bone marrow or mobilized blood stem cells
After the transplanted marrow takes root and begins to manufacture new blood cells, it takes 2 -3 weeks for patients to begin producing enough blood cells to be managed as outpatients. Johns Hopkins Children's Center rooms in the Children's Cancer Foundation Inpatient Unit are equipped with positive pressure HEPA filters that limit microbes to the same air quality as in operating rooms. Once a patient leaves the hospital, it takes 6 to 12 months or more for the entire immune system to return to a normal state. During that time, patients are more susceptible to infections, and precautions include wearing high-filtration masks, avoiding crowds and construction sites, and eating a low microbial diet. Antibiotics are prescribed if fever develops. Patients receive blood transfusions until their marrow produces sufficient red blood cells and platelets. Management of nutrition, prevention and recovery from infection, prevention and treatment of graft-versus-host disease, and recovery of physical activity all begin in the hospital and continue in the outpatient setting.
STEP 4: Post-transplant Follow-up
Upon initial discharge from the hospital, patients will have 3 to 5 outpatient appointments every week at the Johns Hopkins Children's Cancer Foundation Outpatient Unit. During these appointments, patients may receive blood transfusions and other treatments. Bone marrow testing is performed to assess the success of the transplant. Cells in circulating blood are monitored for the presence of cancer and donor cells.
Typically, by about three months post-transplant, patients can return to the care of their referring physician, and they continue to be followed by Johns Hopkins pediatric oncologists at intervals until two years after BMT, and as needed. Chronic graft-versus-host disease, which occurs when the donor's immune system reacts against the patient, most often begins within the first two years after transplant. Patients are monitored through young adulthood for late effects of cancer therapies, growth and development, bone density, and cardiac, renal and endocrine health.
If a patient's disease returns after transplant, options may include donor lymphocyte infusions, a second transplant, chemotherapy, and palliative treatments.
