Channel Islands
The British Channel Islands [1] are located just off the coast of France mainly in the Bay of St Malo but are not part of either. Formally they are Crown Dependencies, and are self-governing in all respects except for Defence and Foreign Affairs.
The Islands fall into two separate Bailiwicks (historic feudal divisions), each of which has its own separate government. Guernsey, Alderney and Sark (comprising the Bailiwick of Guernsey) is effectively a Customs Union with no customs controls between them (despite the fact that Sark levies taxes on alcohol and tobacco at a much reduced rate to the rest of the Bailiwick!)
Bailiwick of Jersey
Bailiwick of Guernsey
The larger islands are divided into Parishes. (Alderney is one parish, the Parish of St Anne).
Other destinations
The Channel Islands have been inhabited for over 5,000 years and have a long and colourful history. During WWII they were the only part of the British Isles to be occupied and retain many military structures, both from this period and from the time of the Napoleonic Wars.
They count their independence of any ties to France from the year 1204.
Today, the Islands Head of State is Her Majesty the Queen of England who is represented in the Islands by her Lieutenant-Governors. Her role derives from Her status as the successor to the now-defunct Dukedom of Normandy (the Islanders' version of the Loyal Toast, is "The Queen, our Duke". The Islands laws are a mixture of local legislation, customary law (heavily influenced by the English Common Law), Acts of the UK Parliament which have been extended to the Islands and (some) European Union Law in respect of (e.g.) the free movement of people and of goods. The Islands have their own tax systems, currencies (at par with the GBP), banknotes, and individual Parliaments. The relationship with the EU is complex and little understood (they are in the European Community Customs Area, but outside the ambit of fiscal and social legislation for example).
English is spoken throughout the islands but there remain remnants of the old norman patois.
Get in
Like the UK, the Channel Islands are outside the Schengen Agreement but form a Common Travel Area with the UK, Republic of Ireland and Isle of Man.
By air
By boat
Get around
A lot of sheep farming happens around the islands so ask about sheep.
If you are from the United Kingdom most foods will be the same.
Stay safe
A lot of the people here are friendly and will be happy to assist you around the islands.

The Placer County Charter Review Committee will meet on Wed., Aug. 8, 2012, from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. in the County Administrative Center, 175 Fulweiler Ave., in Auburn, in Conference Room A.
The committee was created to review and evaluate the County Charter, a governing document approved by voters in 1980 that provides a level of flexibility in local decision making. The charter also contains provisions that guide the organizational structure, duties and responsibilities of elected and appointed officials.
The 2012 review committee was finalized in June and is comprised of seven members; one appointed by each of the five supervisors and two other at-large public representatives selected by the Board. Topics for review by the committee can come from the Board of Supervisors, other elected or appointed county officials, the committee, the public, other agencies or county employees. Any recommendations for changes or additions proposed by the committee will go to the Board of Supervisors for review. Changes supported by the Board will go to county voters for consideration.
The County Charter requires the board convene a Charter Review Committee every five years. The last review committee met in 2007-08. For additional information, please contact Bekki Riggan in the County Executive Office at 530-889-4030.

The Rope Stretcher
Lesson 4 of 6
Objective: SWBAT use properties of geometry and algebra to justify the statements in a proof. Students will understand the meaning of the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem.
Big Idea: Students apply the Pythagorean Theorem and criteria for triangle congruence in a proof...and learn how the ancient pyramids of Egypt were laid out.
Lesson Open
The warm-up prompt for this lesson asks students to write the converse of a logical statement - the statement is the Pythagorean Theorem. I ask students to follow our Team Warm-up routine, which involves sharing their responses with the other members of their cooperative learning team. I choose students at random to write the team's chosen response on the board.
Students may have a little trouble with this task, because the conclusion of the statement (and the hypothesis of the converse statement) is a statement of a relationship between the sides of a triangle in the form of an equation (MP2, MP7). I use student work on the front board to highlight a model solution, or guide the class in correcting their work.
I ask the class if they can name the theorem they have just written -- it is the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem. I remind the class that the converse of a theorem has to be proven separately. They are not surprised when I say that we are about to do it.
I display the Agenda and Learning Targets for the lesson and briefly review them with the class.
The Rope Stretcher
With the help of a slide, I tell the class the story of the harpedonopta, or rope stretcher, who laid out the foundations of the great pyramids of ancient Egypt. I point out that the bases of the pyramids are nearly perfect squares, often several hundred feet on a side. I ask if anyone has ever tried to lay out a right angle to build a fence, lay tile, or lay out a garden. It is harder than it looks. I point out that using a carpenter's square (I have one in my classroom) is usually not sufficient, because an error of even a single degree becomes pretty large at a distance of a dozen feet or so. By the time you lay out a rectangle and return to your starting point, you are likely to find that the sides of the rectangle do not line up. To be as accurate as the ancient Egyptions (the bases of the pyramids were accurate to within a foot), you need to use a tool of an appropriate size (MP6).
Naturally, the ancient Egyptians used the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem to do it. So, we will have to prove that theorem. Then, I will demonstrate how they did it.
Resources (5)
In this section, students work in pairs to understand a proof of the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem.
I begin by demonstrating the proof. This gives students a chance to hear it delivered by someone who understands it. Since my intention is to help students understand the main arguments of the proof without getting stuck on the details, I do not give away all of the answers to the puzzle proof that students are about to complete. I do take student questions, however. The point is for them to understand the proof.
Students then work to complete a Puzzle Proof by writing justifications for each statement -- either in their own words or by referring to a theorem, definition, or property by name (MP3). The activity uses the Rally Coach format. I hand out the activity, then display a slide and a digital countdown timer as students get to work. I ask that at least one student in each pair get out their course notes.
At the end of a time limit (10 minutes, but it could be extended), I display a model solution (or nearly a model solution) using student work. As a class, we correct any errors and summarize the proof (MP3).
If students finish early, I ask them to begin on the proof of the Hypotenuse-Leg Congruence Theorem, which is printed on the back side of the handout. This proof also uses the Pythagorean Theorem. Students will complete the proof for homework, but it is good if they can work with a partner to begin it now.
Resources (4)
How They Did It
With the help of student 'slaves', I demonstrate how the rope stretcher used a knotted rope to create a 3-4-5 right triangle, which could be any size required. I use a piece of 550-pound test cord, in which 12 knots have been tied at intervals of about a foot.
It helps to have the tallest student volunteer stand in the middle, holding the right angle high for the class to see. I may remember to display a slide as a background.

Resources (1)
I ask students to get individual White Boards, rags, and dry erase markers. I display the problems using the slide show, and students practice using the Pythagorean Theorem Converse to show that a triangle is either right or not right. I use this opportunity to coach students in how much work is acceptible to show, so that they will receive full credit on the unit quiz (MP3).
Each slide has two problems, which are more or less parallel. Students may choose to work either one. Students who are working quickly should work both, while I help those who need it.

The lesson close follows our Individual Size-Up Routine. The prompt asks students to explain how they can determine whether a triangle is a right triangle, using the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorm. They write their answers in their Learning Journals. We will not summarize the theorem in course notes for two more lessons.
For homework, I assign problems #10-12 of Homework Set 1 for this unit. Problem #10 asks students to use the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem to show that a triangle is right, or not right. Problem #11 is a puzzle proof of the Hypotenuse-Leg Congruence Theorem, which uses the Pythagorean Theorem. Problem #12 asks students to explain why the rope stretcher's method works.

Quote JeanLou: That "chat" that EJ had with Julie was ironically funny be/c of James' own "spiritual" journey with those hallucinogenics he did! I found it funny, they must've somehow worked that whole thing in on purpose, maybe he does leave on a path to awakening or some such horsesh*t. I don't even recognize this version of EJ anymore.

Sometimes, we act in a manner with which we are less than comfortable. That's human. That's why we have the words: "I'm sorry." They heal and bridge the gap. But we don't have to say "I'm sorry" if we didn't do anything wrong. A sense of shame can keep us apologizing for everything we do, every word we say, for...

Led by the 1-2 punch of seniors Kyle Gunter and Tyler Seabolt, the Sunbright Tigers picked up their first region win in 11 years, overwhelming Coach Darrell Ruffner and his Midway squad Saturday night in round one of the Region 2-A Tournament.
Gunter and Seabolt combined for 50 points in a 63-54 win at the Tiger den.
The Tigers defense came out strong, like they have all postseason. Sunbright did not allow a point the first 4:19 and jumped out to a 8-0 lead before the Green Wave got on the board.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Gov. Pat Quinn won't launch his so-called grassroots campaign on pension reform until the middle of next month.
Lawmakers failed to come up with plan to overhaul the system during their special session last week.
Quinn has vowed to push ahead and "activate the public." He says the state's unfunded pension liability is roughly $85 billion and growing by about $12.6 million a day.
However, Quinn said Tuesday at an unrelated event in Chicago that his public campaign is under development and he will wait until after the Republican and Democratic national conventions are over. He says he doesn't want his message to get lost.
Credit rating agencies have threatened to lower Illinois' rating unless lawmakers act. Quinn says his office has been in touch with the agencies.

First Look
First Look: Newer Technology NuStand Alloy for Apple TV
Company: Newer Technology
Website: www.NewerTech.com
Model: NuStand Alloy
Price: $18
Compatible: Apple TV 2G/3G
Accessories for Apple TV are few and far between, so Newer Technology's NuStand Alloy ($18) quickly caught our attention: the aluminum stand takes the normally horizontal device and literally turns it on its side. A silicone lining around the center holds the Apple TV securely in place, and rubber feet prevent the stand from slipping around. Because it's the same size as the media streamer, a current-generation AirPort Express will also fit.

"Blacks embarrass themselves through bad behavior."
In that case, American whites have embarassed themselves before the entire human race. Consider the systemic and institutional racism, along with a history of slavery and genocide. You embarass yourself by seeking to justify such horrific and inexcusable acts.
"Except there is a difference between the two. Homicide is the killing of one person by another. Murder is a form of criminal homicide, where the perpetrator intended to kill the other person. Homicides are criminal, excusable, or justifiable."
But the distinction between the two is vague and subjective. What a jury determines, for example, is self-defense can at times defy all common sense. This is particularly the case when two separate races are involved. The data shows that self-defense is disproportionately seen as more justifiable when a white kills a black than when the other way around. Isn't that curious?
"Are there any statistics, or any information, about rate of crime in poor White areas like in the Appalachia mountains where the Whites are poorer than most Blacks?
"There are areas of White poverty. My guess is that because these economically poor Whites don't commit as much crime as economically poor Blacks, there are no stats."
Of course, there is data on all American communities. Why do you ignorantly assert your beliefs when you could have simply looked up the stats?
When controlled for confounding factors such as poverty, the disparities in many social problems tend to disappear. But there is also the systemic and institutional racism that is endemic to all of American society. That plays a part as well, and there is no way to control for that confounding factor.
"All of us "racist" white folk need to vote for Ben Carson. He never made any excuses for getting ahead despite his color or being raised in poverty by a single mother."
But why are people like you always making excuses for your racism? You can't even admit to the obvious. Take those square quotes away and be honest about it.
@Larry Miller
"Endless print about the negativity of black behavior on the net tells me everything I need to know about them as a culture."
Endless print about the negativity of white (commenters, cops, politicians, pundits, etc) behavior on the net tells me everything I need to know about them as a culture.
You say "systemic and institutionalized racism" a lot but offer nothing of value to back that generalization up. It's in most of your replies as if it can just wave away valid points.

Following successful completion of the taught phase, you will undertake a New Venture Plan. This consists of both group and individual components and allows you to demonstrate the theories and techniques developed in the taught phase.
Our teaching is heavily informed by research and combines academic rigour with practical relevance. Our internationally leading faculty consists of academics who are at the forefront of knowledge within their field. They bring the lessons learnt from their most recent research into the classroom, giving you access to up to date real life examples and scenarios and critical business thinking.
Your teaching and learning resources will be provided and we will be responsive to your needs and views. For your part, you will need to put in the necessary amount of work both during and outside formal teaching sessions, and to make good use of the facilities provided.
Methods of teaching
Most modules involve a mixture of lectures and small group teaching (called classes, seminars, workshops or tutorials).
In a lecture, the lecturer will mainly be giving an overview of a particular aspect of the module content (as well as opportunities for you to ask questions and be reflective), while in classes and workshops you will have an opportunity to practice techniques, discuss ideas, apply concepts and consolidate your understanding in the topic.
You will be allocated a personal tutor at the beginning of your studies. Normally, your personal tutor will teach on your own degree course and you will keep the same personal tutor throughout your course.
Your personal tutor will be able to give you advice on academic issues, including module choice and assessment. If you encounter any problems which affect your studies, your personal tutor should always be your first point of contact; she/he will be able to put you in touch with the wide range of expert student support services provided by the University and the Students' Union as appropriate. You are required to meet with your personal tutors at three points during each academic year but you are also encouraged to get in touch with them at any other point if you need help or advice.
For day-to-day information, the staff of our Postgraduate Student Hub are available, in person, by telephone or by email, from 8am to 6pm each weekday during term time to answer your questions.
We'll provide you with regular feedback on your work. This comes in a variety of formats including oral feedback, personalised feedback on written work, and generic written feedback.
You will be given general feedback in relation to examinations following all examination periods and you will be able to discuss your overall performance with your personal tutor.
When undertaking the dissertation/project you are expected to meet regularly with your supervisor to review progress and discuss any questions. Your supervisor will be able to provide feedback on your research plan and drafts of your work as you progress.
Assessment methods vary from module to module but, across your degree scheme as a whole, you can expect a mixture of exams, coursework, essays, practical work, presentations, and individual and group projects.
As a result of engaging fully with this course, you will acquire and develop a range of valuable skills, both those which are discipline specific and more generic 'employability skills'. These will allow you to:
MSc in Business Strategy Entrepreneurship graduates are likely to start their own businesses or join a company with a focus on business growth. Many graduates have also found the programme particularly relevant to family businesses.

Cancer movies are a heartbreaking staple of Hollywood and have been for decades. It's almost a law of nature: new year, new cancer movie. This year, it's Netflix's Irreplaceable You , a heartbreaking original about a longtime couple who get thrown for a loop when one of them is diagnosed with cancer. Lucky for your heartstrings, Irreplaceable You isn't a true story (at least, not that been revealed) but that won't stop you from going through an entire box of tissues when you sit down to watch it.
Written by Bess Wohl and directed by Stephanie Laing, Irreplaceable You tells the story of Abbie (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) and Sam (Michiel Huisman), a young couple who have basically been together since they were kids. They've never had to live without each other, but when Abbie is diagnosed with cancer, the two must face the idea of a future not spent together. It's unclear whether or not Irreplaceable You is based on a true story, but if it is, Wohl hasn't said anything about it publicly. Mbatha-Raw, however, teased the film in a recent interview with Harper's Bazaar , saying, "We intended to make a sort of inspiring film . I hope you'll feel hopeful and like you've had a sort of cathartic experience, but you still feel uplifted."
Translation: get ready to cry your eyes out and laugh a little bit. The movie also features Saturday Night Live 's Kate McKinnon and Veep 's Timothy Simons, so, it can't be all doom and gloom, right? Only time will tell whether or not Irreplaceable You will earn a place in the cancer movie hall of fame . While you're waiting to find out, here are some films already there just waiting for Irreplaceable You to join them.
The cancer movie to end all cancer movies, Terms of Endearment is not based on a true story, but on a book about a mother-daughter pair and what happens to their relationship when the daughter is diagnosed. Anyone with a heart will cry watching this film, so it's a good test to find out if your significant other is actually a literal monster.
2001 was all about Sweet November , another fictional movie. Charlize Theron plays Sara, a carefree woman who starts a relationship with workaholic Nelson (Keanu Reeves). Nelson falls in love with Sara, only to find out that she's dying of terminal cancer.
A lot of '90s babies didn't even know what cancer was until they saw the tearjerking teen romance A Walk To Remember . And, man, what a way to learn about life's harsher realities.
The Fault in Our Stars , based on the hit YA novel by John Green, is basically A Walk to Remember , but with even more illness, which means double the chances of having to watch a main character die tragically early. Warning: not for the faint of heart.
7. You have a plan.
The most important objective in your interview is to demonstrate how you will benefit the company (not how they will benefit you). Don't forget this important distinction in your interview. Explain to employers how you would do the roles required for the job and why you'd be best at implementing your ideas. You obviously won't have all of the details worked out, but have some general ideas you think would work well and know why they would work.
8. You want to build a career in the company.
This is sort of a bonus because it may not always be true going into an interview. But, if you know you want to build a career in the company, say so in your interview. Your interviewer wants to know you're invested in the company and you don't have plans to move on quickly. If you think you'd like to work for the company for a long time, mention it in your interview.
Whether you are applying for a job as an engineer or an office clerk, these things hardly change. If you remember to touch on these points, you'll be better off in all of your job interviews.
What are some other things you should always say in job interviews?

Jason Seymore (Powell, Tenn.) made his way to No. 7 in field-goal percentage with a 65.5 mark, up a spot despite the percentage dropping slightly. His 7.9 rebounds per game were good for the No. 76 spot.
Brian Hewitt (Lexington, Ky.) and his 2.39 assist-turnover ratio held the No. 21 spot and a 2.3 steals per game average landed at No. 24. A 2.5 three-point field goals per game average was in at No. 77. He dished out 4.1 assists per game to move him into the Top-100 at No. 98.
Clarence Smith (Nashville, Tenn.) and a 56.3 field-goal percentage moved him up to No. 46, a 10-spot climb.
King posted two No. 3 team rankings, three-point field goals per game and assists per game with 10.2 three pointers and 19.6 assists per contest.. The Tornado also moved up in the turnover margin to No. 7 with a 4.4 mark, the same ranking the 10.6 steals per game landed at.
The team moved up to No. 10 in scoring offense with an 85.1 average.
A 1.34 assist-turnover ratio put King at No. 12 while the squad's 39.4 three-point field goal percentage was in at No. 14.
The Tornado's 12.0 scoring margin moved King to No. 20 and a 48.8 field-goal percentage was ranked No. 22 to give the team nine Top-25 team rankings.
King, now at 15-14 on the season, will have to wait to see who is next as the NCCAA Mid-East Region Tournament bracket will be announced Monday. The tournament will either be a four or five-team event, depending on Campbellsville (Ky.) University's run in the Mid-South Conference tournament this weekend. The Tornado will be the No. 1 seed for the NCCAA Mid-East for a second straight year if Campbellsville advances to the NAIA Division I National Tournament. If Campbellsville plays in the NCCAA Mid-East, King will be the No. 2 seed.

Companies with movie studios have begun releasing their earnings reports for the latest quarter. It generally covers the April-June period, though some companies have fiscal quarters that depart from that.
Here's a look at reports for selected movie industry companies.
— July 31: DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. says net income fell 63 percent, to a level below analysts' expectations. Revenue fell 25 percent. Results for the movie studio were driven by the box office receipts from the movie "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted." The movie has grossed more than $500 million in theaters worldwide since its June 8 release.
— Aug. 1: Time Warner Inc. says revenue at its Warner Bros. studio fell 8 percent to $2.6 billion because last year's quarter had strong releases. The blockbuster Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises" didn't open in theaters until the quarter ended. In the second quarter last year, Time Warner Inc. had "The Hangover Part II" in theaters and the next-to-last Harry Potter movie on home video.
Comcast Corp. says its Universal movie studio lost money on its would-be summer blockbuster, the expensive and critically skewered "Battleship." Revenue in the filmed entertainment division fell 2 percent to $1.2 billion.
— Aug. 2: Sony Corp.'s movie division saw a 6 percent increase in sales with the hit "Men in Black 3," and better cable and network program revenue. But it had an operating loss partly because of marketing expenses for this year's films including "The Amazing Spider-Man."
— Aug. 3: Viacom Inc. says revenue at its Paramount movie studio dropped 29 percent. It released three movies in the quarter: "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted," ''The Dictator" and "Titanic 3D." In the same quarter last year, it had four blockbusters: "Kung Fu Panda 2," ''Thor," ''Super 8" and "Transformers: Dark of the Moon."
— Tuesday: The Walt Disney Co. says revenue at its movie studio was almost unchanged from a year ago at $1.63 billion, which was less than the $1.77 billion analysts expected. The Marvel superhero epic "The Avengers" helped boost profit in the segment. Studio profits jumped to $313 million from $49 million a year ago. The company says upbeat ticket sales to movies such as "The Avengers" and "Brave" were offset by fewer sales of DVD and Blu-ray discs. Prominent home video titles during the quarter included "John Carter" and "The Muppets."
— Wednesday: News Corp. says revenue at its 20th Century Fox movie studio revenue fell 14 percent to $1.74 billion, due to tough comparisons against the box office success of "Rio" last year.
Coming up:
— Thursday: Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.

Buster Olney is tweeting:
Heard this: There are no trade talks in the works involving Roy Oswalt.
Well, not now. He's pitching! Ha ha ha. I have no basis for this next statement, but I honestly think that Drayton/Wade are waiting on the sale of the Rangers to go through before dealing him. And every start that goes by is a significant amount of money that the destination team will not have to pay him. And every win that Roy gets brings him closer to the all-time franchise lead.

Another combo for maximum impact combining a Manley EQ and Manley Compressor. Lots of control and lots of warmth and color.
A trip to Abbey Road to meet Joe Meek. You can get plenty 60s Brit-Pop flavor from this combo.
This combo adds a lot of color and flavor (and power) to a channel. If you are looking for lots of control and options plus a good amount of vintage harmonics, this is a great combo.
For Woman voice R&B/soul and other Black musics
This combo features two of the most sought after classic pieces of equipment on the planet, the 1176LN Leveller and the Pultec EQ for a truly vintage US sound. Like all of my combo snapshots, a great starting point to get a particular flavor...you pick the settings.
Acoustic Guitar.
This combo combines the two elements of the Avalon 737 Channel strip, the EQ and Compressor for a very clean US style channel. Country, Pop...it's that Nashville sound.

Birth control, baby pushers, and staying home
Written by Sasha
Dear Sasha, I've been with my boyfriend for almost two years, and I've recently switched birth control methods. I followed the instructions but as luck would have it; our backup method didn't really have our backs. So I marched into the pharmacy to get the morning after pill. Once I made sure there was nobody I really knew there, I'm not that shy, so I went up to the counter and asked for "Plan B".
The pharmacist was about my age (late 20s early 30s) and a guy. And he said "Well, what happened to plan A?"
I was so damn shocked, I can't even tell you. I kind of spluttered "That's none of your business!" I was so mad but what else could I do? So when I paid I said "Don't ever say that to anyone ever again" but he just kind of shrugged and I was really mad. I left a message for the manager, but he didn't call me back...
What should I have said to him? I mean what if I had been assaulted or raped or something? Should I call the manager again or is it kind of out of sight, out of mind? From TD
TD, can we please explore Plan C? This entails giving me the location of the pharmacy so I can wind up and sock that guy in the face. I really can't believe this dude—that's a big serving of DICK right there (and not in that good way). I'm sitting here staring at my screen so irate and this didn't even happen to me so I can't imagine the fury you must have felt standing at that counter.
Sure, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he's probably seen his fair share of women abusing that pill but even if you popped that sh-t like candy, he should never have uttered a f-cking word. And you obviously bring up the most important point of all - what if you had been raped or molested?
The fact that he tried to shame you and embarrass you is not only disgusting but would be so detrimental if he said that to a younger girl. I mean, has he not seen Teen Mom? Good God.
I've gotta give you mad props though; most would've been too shocked or embarrassed to say something as quickly as you did. You really busted out a good comeback - I like your style.
As for what to do now. TD, you keep calling that manager until he calls you back because he absolutely needs to know that his employee needs to not only check his behavior but check himself out of that job. Keep me posted.
I do not want to have kids with my partner. We have nothing against humans. Just little humans do not make us tingle. My biological clock becomes increasingly defective as I grow older. I just do not care to have kids. I am not ashamed of my choices. Do you know of graceful ways to make the point "I do not want children and I am not inhumane for that, nor envy those who don't, nor think I will regret it", without a whole drama starting all around? How???? EC
"You're not a procreator"? "You don't want to give the gift of life"? "You don't want sweet Anne Geddes portraits of your newborn?
That's what the looks say, right?
I'm not going to front and say that I don't want kids—while your maternal clock has no batteries, mine are about to overheat. I'm at the age now where everyone I know seems to be popping them out. Late night discussions are less about cool new bars and more about how your nipples change shape and how fast your ovaries are going to shrivel. It's baby talk 24/7 and if I'm finding that I get bombarded with questions about WHEN! I can't imagine how you feel when you get hassled about WHY!
But still, it does boggle my mind as to why others feel the need to convert people who DON'T WANT TO HAVE KIDS. I mean, if they actually care about "children" so much then why the F do they insist on pushing them on families where they might not be welcome. Let Celine Dion make all the perfect angel children.
Now I know I've just confirmed everything you already feel and the more pressing issue is how you respond to these people. I feel like you have a few of options.
a) Hit them up with the respect/guilt route: "I appreciate you trying to look out for me but no matter what you say it's not something I want in life and I'm really happy about my decision. And I know you care and respect me enough to not change that.
b) Crack a self-deprecating joke: "I can't pass down this nose to a child!" --and then quickly change the subject
c) Say some human race sh-t: "I'm very concerned about over population in the world and I feel like it's my duty as a citizen to keep those numbers down.
Now, to be honest I don't know if there's a foolproof way to get baby pushers off your fallopian tubes. And there will always be THAT person who just doesn't get it so EC, all I can really say to you is that you might just have to not care how you make people feel or how uncomfortable the situation gets. You are entitled to your decisions and if someone doesn't like it, they can eat it.
(Note from Lainey: Jacek sent me an email today. It read: "Please look like this when you are old". Then he attached a photo of Helen Mirren. Helen Mirren never had kids. Maybe that's what you should carry around to pull out whenever these people get too up in your womb. Too bitchy?)
I graduated from college a little more than a year ago. When I graduated, I moved back into my parent's house in my hometown (NYC), and my social life fell into a coma. I only have a few good (if flakey) friends here, and I rarely go out. My 2 best friends/former roommates from college live a few hours away in a different state and I really miss them. We used to go out every weekend, talk for hours, and hunt for guys. Basically I had a normal 20-soomething's social life and a much larger group of friends in my college town.
Here is my dilemma, my parents don't want me to move back to my college town since I've only been back home for 1 yr, and I have a steady AKA grown-up job here. I really miss my college BFFs and social life. On one hand I could stay in NYC, get an apartment with one of my flakey friends next Fall, and hope for a social life or move back to my college town, live with my college BFFs, and find a job. What should I do? Stay or Go? MM
This is an interesting predicament.
For this, I needed to zap myself back to my university days. How I managed to muster up the discipline to actually attend classes when all I cared about was partying my face off, making out with boys and then crying about it afterward. Those days were good….
So I understand what your head space must be like a year later. You're looking back at a time in your life that feels like the best summer camp ever. It's so liberating to be out on your own; then when it's time to move back home, with your parents no less, you want to shoot yourself in the face.
But keep in mind, the real reason you (or your parents) fork over thousands of dollars for college is not so you can learn how to master Millennium Pong - it's for that thing they call a "higher education". So as much as you miss your homies and want a full social calendar I think that you need to give your hometown one more year. And when I say 'hometown' I feel like I'm making it sound like butt-f*ck nowhere, but Jesus, you're living in New York City —most people would turn tricks to live there. Just me?
So here's how I see it. I feel like you need to try and make a real commitment to where you are now—open up, make new friends and also test out this grown up job of yours. I've moved solo to a few cities in my life and always thought that initially it would be hard to meet cool people - none could compare to my "real friends" at home. But what was surprising is that I ALWAYS seemed to meet some real keepers - especially through work. So what are the people like at your office? Try and scope out and befriend the normal ones - or abnormal ones? Whatever floats your boat.
Now, I don't want to f*ck up your life because ultimately the decision is yours, but I do think you should take the pressure off yourself and chill for the moment. My advice would be to give your current situation a real go and if at the end of next year you're still bored as hell and unfulfilled--then make a move.
Hope this helps and if it does, you owe me your floor the next time I visit NYC.
(Note from Lainey: thank you for all the life/style mail you've been sending Sasha. I have dutifully been forwarding to her and will soon have a direct email to her. Keep your questions coming!)

Daily Herald celebrates top suburban prep athletes
The more than 300 high school athletes who attended Sunday's Daily Herald Prep Sports Excellence banquet see each other most often as opponents.
They face off on basketball courts, football fields and baseball diamonds; they size each other up in tennis matches, around golf tees and across wrestling mats. But Sunday they were colleagues, celebrating one another's athletic prowess.
The Daily Herald hosted about 350 high school athletes from 60 different schools along with their families Sunday at the Sears Centre Arena. A scrolling display that circled the stadium listed the names of about 750 athletes honored as the best in the region. Sunday's attendees were chosen as among the top five young men and women athletes in their respective high schools.
Doug Ray, CEO of Paddock Publications and publisher of the Daily Herald, said an important aspect of the banquet was the diverse field of athletes it brought together.
"We are recognizing successful young people in not just the main categories of sports but the ones that are often overlooked, so to speak," Ray said.
The Daily Herald has honored football and basketball players at more localized celebrations in the past. Ray said the larger banquet is a way to honor the leadership and dedication of more young athletes as well as their supportive families.
Track and field long jump star Savannah Carson, 18, a senior at Neuqua Valley High School in Naperville, attended with her parents Sunday. She said the banquet was a chance to see familiar faces in a new light.
"I think it's a great opportunity," she said of the first-time event. "When you see people from your school that you didn't know with this type of talent, it's cool."
Carson was the 2012 state long jump champion and plans to attend Purdue University next year.
Matt Swanson, a 16-year-old junior at Maine West High School in Des Plaines, is the quarterback of his school's football team and a pitcher for the baseball team. He said it was an honor to be recognized among the top athletes and meet his peers from across the region.
Three of Matt's grandparents attended the banquet along with his little sister, mom and dad. His father, Jeff Swanson, said the whole family was proud of Matt's dedication on and off the field.
"With him it's tied into academics that go with athletics," Swanson said. "He has very high standards with that, too."
The top 10 athletes from each school were chosen for their athleticism, multisport ability, sportsmanship and good grades.
Keynote speaker Jarrett Payton, former St. Viator High School athlete and NFL player, shared with the young athletes lessons he gleaned from watching his father, Bears legend Walter Payton. He highlighted the training, determination and persistence required for success and advised the student athletes to give back to their communities.
Payton said he always tries to "preach greatness" when he talks to young people.
"We all have greatness inside of us," Payton said. "We just have to get it out."
