M has been in the JJS (kid jail)...
==> Hi J. Please look for my responses below.
Well, it's been 11 days since M has been in the JJS. The visit was awkward to say the least. And our dismay to see that another "friend" who we have been discouraging (and being pretty successful with) was also in!! Needless to say, our emotions are still on a roller-coaster. M has been seen by a counselor while there and FINALLY there has been exchange of information between his counselor and the JSS. (We had been requesting this for over a year/sent in the paper work and still not done). Well, the JJS counselor called me on Tuesday and we talked for a while. She feels M is in a deep depression. He has not felt loved since very small, we love our other children, he doesn't make eye contact, no inflection of voice, apathy, etc. (This is VERY hard to hear). Our regular counselor has recently told us of this too.
==> Not to minimize his feelings, but most "out-of-control" teenagers feel unloved and mistreated – this is nothing new. And of course he's depressed – he's locked-up. Who wouldn't be?
Also, counselors do NOT get a true reading on a child's general attitude while the child is in a facility. I regularly visit my juvenile probationers who happen to be incarcerated. They all have a different attitude in jail compared to when they are out. When they return home, there's about a 2-week honeymoon period in which the child behaves appropriately. After the honeymoon though, the child returns to his original problematic behavior (unless, of course, the parent is making parenting-changes on her end).
As harsh as it sounds, out-of-control teens need to feel an element of discomfort before they will change – this is not cruel and usual punishment however – it's tough love (which is often tougher on the parent than the child).
An easy trap for parents to fall into at this point is to (a) feel sorry for the child, (b) to doubt their decisions and parenting strategies, and (c) to feel like a failure as a parent, etc.
CAUTION: Beware of falling into this trap. Stay the course. Positive change is occurring!
M has been approached about meds and had refused them. The new counselor T (who unfortunately is quitting JJS) has been pretty confrontational with M and really pushed him for answers (not I don't know/care). The regular counselor A has been seeing him for over a year and has not shared that they are doing any of this. What is your advice on the direction this should take? If we need to change counselors we will. This also may be an act. Who knows anymore?
== > Go with the counselors who will challenge your son and who will not fall for the usual manipulations that teens cough-up during these rough times.
Yesterday he was seen by a psychiatrist who has dx him with ADHD and has prescribed adderall. When I re-read the info on it, I can see LOADS of characteristics. We had 1 teacher in elementary school suggest this, but the physician and subsequent teachers did not find any basis to this. Again we feel horrible if this is what is causing his difficulties. She feels the rx may help with the depression also. Again, your input on this would be great.
== > I'm not a proponent for ADHD meds or antidepressants for adolescents. My experience reveals that (a) insisting the child take meds is just another potential battle zone and (b) they end up either selling them to friends or abusing them. Behavioral modification is a much better course than pharmacotherapy.
Anyway, my biggest dilemma is how to handle things when he is released back home (we won't know until 1/3/08 but seem to think from the counselor and M tells us the PO also that he will get "intensive probation" whatever that is).
== > Intensive probation means he will have weekly contact with a PO, possibly have weekly urine screens, have stiffer consequences for violating the probation contact, etc.
My husband wants to give almost everything back (no cell phone or car) as he has "done his time" and to make a fresh start. He would get all of his clothes, computer (no internet), TV/playstation in his room, use of house phone. I am OK with this if this is what should happen. He did not EARN this back in the home, but is staying @ JJS for 24 days enough? Again, we have never dealt with this before and really want to do the right thing.
== > I agree with your husband. Your son has received a "natural consequence." A fresh start would be in order.
Christmas will be really hard--do we have a "do-over" when he comes home and leave all the decorations up and have baked items, etc? We are not allowed to bring him ANYTHING for our visit on Christmas.
== > No. Missing Christmas is part of the natural consequence. You can give him his gifts when he comes home however. Do NOT over-indulge out of a sense of guilt however.
Bottom line: Your son is developing emotional muscles that he would never have developed had he not gone through this very uncomfortable experience. Remind him that this is just the beginning of his pain [now that he is in the radar of probation] if he doesn't get with the program.
Thanks for your wisdom and experience and have a peaceful, wonderful holiday. I am sure to e-mail you again soon.

Parenting Rebellious Teens
One day you wake up and find that life has changed forever. Instead of greeting you with a hug, your little boy rolls his eyes when you say "good morning" and shouts, "You're ruining my life!" You may think you've stepped into the Twilight Zone, but you've actually been thrust into your son's teen years.
During adolescence, teens start to break away from parents and become "their own person." Some talk back, ignore rules and slack off at school. Others may sneak out or break curfew. Still others experiment with alcohol, tobacco or drugs. So how can you tell the difference between normal teen rebellion versus dangerous behavior? And what's the best way for a parent to respond?

Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)
Many families of defiant children live in a home that has become a battleground. In the beginning, the daily struggles can be expected. After all, we knew that problems would occur. Initially, stress can be so subtle that we lose sight of a war, which others do not realize is occurring. We honestly believe that we can work through the problems.
Outbursts, rages, and strife become a way of life (an emotionally unhealthy way of life). We set aside our own needs and focus on the needs of our children. But what does it cost us?

The Strong-Willed Out-of-Control Teen
The standard disciplinary techniques that are recommended for "typical" teenagers do not take into account the many issues facing teens with serious behavioral problems. Disrespect, anger, violent rages, self-injury, running away from home, school failure, hanging-out with the wrong crowd, drug abuse, theft, and legal problems are just some of the behaviors that parents of defiant teens will have to learn to control.

text: I just had one full day in London, but made the most of it. Like any other big international city it has its pro's and con's. As always, I wish I would have had a little more time. I stayed in Camden Market which is a trendy suburb of London. One of the highlights was visiting Abbey Road Studio. Next time I'm taking a Beatles tour!

April 6, 1917—America Enters the Great War
Drafted Men Leave Montana Train Station—1917.
On A Troop Train.
IN through the train window comes the scent of sagebrush;
And I remember riding out with you—
Sagebrush, sagebrush, violet and purple,
Gray under noon sun, and silver under dew.
Riding out together down the gold arroyo,
Riding to the rim-rock, climbing up a trail,
Riding when the sunset is pricking out the river;
Far from ranch or bunk-house, or any friendly hail.
Have you forgotten all our rides together,
Creaking leather, clinking spurs, range sky blue,
Startled rabbits flashing across the trail before us—
Would sudden scent of sagebrush mean anything to you?
—Mary Carolyn Davies, The Drums in Our Street (1918).
A tip o' the hat to Outland Anthology.

Exercise vs. Eating right – Which matters more
A lot of us like to think that exercise is more important for weight loss than eating right (diet). You eat food (can be junk, processed food too) , gain calories and then you can burn calories from all the junk you ate in the gym. That is what you think right?
Unfortunately, that is not the case. At least not completely true. If you have ever pondered about what is more important for losing weight – diet or exercising, here is your answer. Your diet is more important. The best way to lose weight (Here is the best exercising method for losing weight) is to have a combination of both – proper diet and exercising and exercising has many benefits beyond weight loss but if you talk specifically about weight loss – you are definitely not burning as many calories as you are having.
The amount of calories contained in a simple bar of chocolate would take lots and lots of activity to be burnt off. So now you know the importance of having a disciplined diet.

Discount Actos
(15 votes, average: 3.53 out of 5)
Thanks for your vote!
Voting on this contest has closed. Thanks to all who voted!
by Natalie Grigson Discount Actos, "Hello. My name is Tantalus and I haven't had a drink in three thousand years."
"Hi, Actos usa, Tantalus," the group echoed back mechanically. They moved on to the next new-comer, 20mg Actos, a woman with stringy brown hair and big blue eyes, Actos mexico, magnified comically beneath her spectacles. Tantalus took his seat and smiled benignly at the woman. He knew the drill, 10mg Actos.
"Hello, Discount Actos. My name is Marie and I have been sober for twenty-seven… Did you say three thousand years?"
She peered down at Tantalus, Actos ebay, her eyes wide and made wider beneath her hubcap-sized spectacles. Tantalus leaned back in his little Fisher Price plastic chair and nodded sagely at the woman. To all else, Actos coupon, Tantalus looked calm and collected, 150mg Actos, as though he were merely agreeing that yes, the weather has been quite lovely this week. But his thoughts were reeling, Actos craiglist. Discount Actos, Nobody seemed to notice that his heart—or rather, the empty pit where his heart should have been—had ceased pumping (or rather, it would have, if he had a heart at all.)
In fact, everybody in the group had already moved along, just as they had when Tantalus had announced his impressive lack of drink for several millennia; just as they had in every group he'd visited thus far. You see, Actos us, Tantalus had taken to stopping into the mortal realm when he had heard about these mysterious meetings. Bill Brown had been the one who'd told him about them. He'd only just arrived in Hell after drinking himself to death, 250mg Actos, when he spotted Tantalus. 50mg Actos, "You look like you could use a drink!" Bill had said jovially. Tantalus gave him a withering look and went back to pining over his lost sustenance; the pool of water was as unattainable as ever, Discount Actos.
"That's okay. I know the feeling, Actos paypal," Bill said, 500mg Actos, plopping himself down next to the little lake, already filling up again.
That's when Bill had told him about these wonderful groups on earth, 1000mg Actos, full of people craving the comfort of drink, Actos australia, just like Tantalus. He said they were lost souls, just like the two of them, 40mg Actos, and that these mysterious groups could offer him a brotherhood—support like nothing else could. Discount Actos, So Tantalus started going to AA meetings. 200mg Actos, The thing about popping into the mortal world as a condemned, eternally suffering, lost soul, Actos uk, was that not a whole lot of people paid attention to you. 30mg Actos, Tantalus had found that this "brotherhood" was so full of people with their own problems, not one of them had paid him the slightest bit of attention.
That is, Actos india, until the Glasses Woman spoke up. Actos overseas, "Excuse me, I asked you a question," said woman said, Actos japan, looking every bit the stern teacher, Actos canada, looming over her little desk. This particular meeting was held in an old elementary school, Discount Actos. Colorful drawings of the room's usual inhabitants plastered the walls, looking very out of place and slightly uncomfortable, 100mg Actos.
Tantalus finally found his voice, 750mg Actos, which was a struggle, because A) As he already mentioned, he hadn't had a drink of water in over three thousand years and his throat was quite dry; and B) He hadn't spoken to anybody in the mortal world in even longer—not since he had been a mortal himself.
"I, um, yes. Yes, I did."
He could vaguely hear the rest of the group discussing somebody named Paul's third year of sobriety and how wonderful it was. Discount Actos, "You can… You can hear me then. I mean, you can really hear me?"
He watched her, wanting, wanting, wanting, not water, but something more for the first time since he could remember. See me. He wanted to shout. Notice me!
But the woman had already turned her attention toward the crowd around the buffet. When she looked back at Tantalus, he knew she was gone, Discount Actos.
"Well, good for you then. I'm going to get some punch. Do you want anything?" She asked vaguely, already walking away.
"You have no idea.".

This instrument is capable of synthesizing up to 1536 different peptides in each synthesis. Peptides are synthesized on a nitrocellulose disk. Each peptide is then cleaved from the nitrocellulose membrane, resulting in about 35 ug of each peptide. The peptides can be used directly or they can be arrayed on a microscope slide by employing orthogonal coupling chemistry and specially modified hydrogel microscope slides.

The original design called for an English/Irish-gothic church, but plans were later modified in favor of a French-gothic style. The Cathedral Basilica holds concerts open to the public throughout the year and it has the largest pipe organ ever built by the Schantz Organ Co. which includes 154 ranks playable from two consoles.

Don't forget to follow along on Instagram for sneak peeks, giveaways, helpful tips and more!
I was shopping in Crate and Barrel several months ago and came across these oversized metal clips. It sparked an idea for a creative way to display the girls' pictures! I had a small gallery wall above the couch but I never fell in love with it and eventually took it down.
If you've read my blog post about my capsule wardrobe then you already know I'm a minimalist when it comes to fashion but what may surprise you is I'm also a minimalist when it comes to home decor. I like big, open, clutter-free spaces. I'm not someone that sits and stairs at all the empty wall space in my house, trying to decide on the perfect decor piece to buy and hang there. I understand that to some, empty walls may feel boring and unhomey (I'm pretty sure that's not a word) but to me, empty wall space makes the room feel bigger and brighter. And I happen to breathe easier in open spaces! However, that wall behind our couch was just too huge of a wall to keep it empty. I have a lot of grey and white in our house so I decided to add some texture. These DIY wooden picture frames did the trick!
Metal Clip
2X6 @ 3 feet long
16 inches of black chain
1 black wall hook
Corner Braces
Spray Paint (any kind will do)
Wood Stain, Briarsmoke(I used and LOVE Briarsmoke by Varathane)
Cut each 2X6 board at 12 inches in length. This is a perfect project for all those scrap pieces of wood you have laying around!
Drill pocket holes and attach the 3 boards using wood glue and pocket hole screws. If you don't have a kreg jig, attach the boards using metal Strap Ties.
Stain. Briarsmoke is topping the charts as my favorite wood stain these days! It's beautiful! It's a soft brown with some gray undertones. Not too rich but not too soft, it's juuuuust right. I haven't been able to find Varathane stain in any store so I order it off Amazon Prime. But who can complain when it's brought to my door with free two-day shipping? Love Amazon Prime!
Center your clip and screw into place. My package of corner brakets came with one extra screw that happened to work perfectly for securing this clip into place but any wood screw would do!
Spray paint the corner brackets. When they are dry, Center your 8X10 picture and screw in the corner brackets around each picture.
I added my chain by screwing two wood screws into the back of the picture frame at opposite corners and then looped one chain link around the screw head. A lot cheaper than buying special hooks! Next, screw in the black wall hooks and that's it! These picture frames are on the heavy side so if you can screw directly into your studs, that would be ideal. Stud Finder finder will help a bunch! And if you can't screw into a stud, THESE are my favorite drywall screws!

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Manny Ramirez will be back in the big leagues on Friday night after a 50-game suspension for violating baseball's drug policy. His return should be nothing short of a spectacle.
It'll be the start of the Fourth of July weekend, and thousands of blue-clad Los Angeles Dodgers fans are expected to be at sold-out Petco Park to support the dreadlocked slugger in the opener of a three-game series against the San Diego Padres.
Harry the Heckler will be there, too.
"Oh, it's going to be a lot of fun," said Harry Maker, who for years has been ragging on opponents from his seat in left field. "I was hoping that we could have at least one slugger in the game that wasn't tainted. Now Manny has just disappointed me, and he's going to have to pay for it. I am not going to let up all weekend long."
Ramirez's ban was based on evidence he used human chorionic gonadotropin, a fertility drug that's banned by baseball, a person familiar with the suspension told The Associated Press after the suspension was announced on May 7, speaking on condition of anonymity because those details were not released.
HCG is popular among steroid users because it can mitigate the side effects of ending a cycle of the drugs.
Ramirez, who playfully said, "I'm baaaaack!" after re-signing with the Dodgers during spring training, largely avoided reporters during his minor league rehab assignment. It's uncertain whether he'll formally address the media before Friday night's game.
When he visited Dodger Stadium in early June, he said he was ready to move on and didn't want to be a distraction.
"I didn't kill nobody, I didn't rape nobody, so that's it, I'm just going to come and play the game," Ramirez said.
"Manny's used to distractions, anyway, but I think the players will be happy to have him back and I think they understand what goes with that," Dodgers manager Joe Torre said Wednesday. "But this game is full of distractions. And if we don't win games, we're certainly not going to use that as an excuse. That's for sure."
Regardless of how Ramirez does at the plate, Padres fans will boo and Dodgers fans will cheer.
"I think the Dodger-Padre series down here always brings a little bit more energy but I think this will be heightened because of Manny, because he is one of the true lightning rods in the game today," San Diego manager Bud Black said. "I guess our fans and the game itself will benefit from that."
There's always plenty of Dodgers fans in the ballpark when the two NL West rivals play at Petco Park.
"I wouldn't be lying to say that when he steps to the plate here he's going to probably feel like he's at home," said Padres reliever Cla Meredith, who's been disappointed with the dwindling crowds during San Diego's dismal season. "There's no doubt about it."
Meredith seems fascinated by what he called "one of these rare occasions" in which a player has drawn interest "over this event that's really negative and detrimental to himself and the game. It's really kind of taken on a new life of its own. I've never seen, really, something like this.
"Fans like him," the sidearmer said. "And so he's never really had too much negative stuff about him. He's kind of done his own thing in his career ... And fans are drawn to him. I can see why."
San Diego has provided several footnotes during the steroid era.
Padres fans loved to hate Barry Bonds, who routinely punished San Diego pitchers during his pursuit of Hank Aaron's record. Bonds is under federal indictment and says he never knowingly used performance-enhancing drugs.
Bonds tied Hammerin' Hank's record of 755 at Petco Park on Aug. 4, 2007, when he homered off right-hander Clay Hensley. Two years earlier, Hensley was one of four Padres farmhands who were suspended for 15 games for using performance-enhancing substances.
In April 2006, a fan tossed a syringe near Bonds as he came off the field in between innings at Petco Park. The syringe apparently did not have a needle. Bonds picked it up with his glove.
In 2002, Ken Caminiti told Sports Illustrated he used steroids during his MVP season in 1996 with the Padres. He estimated half the players in the big leagues were using them.
Caminiti died in October 2004 of a drug overdose at age 41.
"Ken Caminiti broke my heart," Maker said.
Last November, former AL MVP Jose Canseco was in federal court not far from Petco Park to plead guilty to a misdemeanor of trying to bring HCG across the Mexican border into the United States illegally. He was sentenced to 12 months' unsupervised probation. He said he needed HCG to boost his testosterone level, low after years of admitted steroid use.
On June 3, reliever J.C. Romero returned to the Philadelphia Phillies following his 50-game suspension for testing positive for a banned substance.
AP Baseball Writer Ronald Blum in New York contributed to this report.

Has Ivanka Trump Had Cosmetic Surgery
Ivanka Trump is the daughter of American businessman and entrepreneur Donald Trump and his first wife, former Czech model Ivana.
Ivanka was born October 30th, 1981 and has had a varied career as a fashion model, as well as working as a product designer and launching a jewelry line named after her.
Educated at Georgetown University and University of Pennsylvania, where she graduated with honors with an Economics degree, she is currently married to Jared Kushner, with whom she had a baby girl in July 2011, and works with her father's organization, The Trump Organization, as an Executive Vice President.
As an heiress to the Trump fortune and a judge on the successful TV show The Apprentice, which is produced and run by the Trump Organization, Ivanka Trump is an instantly recognizable celebrity.
This of course, is enhanced by her looks, and inevitably, she has courted controversy over whether or not she has had plastic surgery, and whether this enhanced her physical appeal.
Ivanka Trump: The Cosmetic Surgery Question
Of course the question of before and after pops up here: what cosmetic enhancement, if any, did Ivanka get done?
A close look reveals at least two or three possible changes: a nose job, which is almost standard among plastic surgery celebrities, and breast enhancement stand out seemingly prominently.
She may also have had some chin augmentation. Whatever the truth is, Ivanka is not a star who falls into the plastic surgery gone wrong category.
Did Cosmetic Surgery work For Ivanka Trump?
Putting the typical pettiness that greats this kind of surgery aside, the implied cosmetic enhancement was good for Ivanka.
She was already a model at a young age, so the question of whether or not she was always attractive is moot. If she did indeed have cosmetic surgery, then it has improved her overall look and was done tastefully – something that cannot be said for Pamela Anderson.
It can be said indisputably that the results of Ivanka's cosmetic surgery, therefore, were very impressive . The 'before' and 'after' pictures certainly show that while she was an attractive girl to begin with, the cosmetic surgery certainly accentuated her looks rather tastefully.
Known for her independent streak and strong character, this intelligent and yet devoted daddy's girl does not bother to comment on her plastic surgery, though she does detest comparisons to other similar celebrities.
Why Ivanka Had Surgery?
To understand the possible core reasons behind her alleged plastic surgery decision, one needs to understand how Ivanka actually feels about her celebrity status.
She has revealed herself to be rather level-headed and not after the increased celebrity that comes after plastic surgery. Besides, she simply did not need it.
As the heiress to a wealthy fortune, attractive, intelligent and talented as she was, this was probably simply a decision to improve something she felt she wanted to and she obviously could afford to do.
So if it did occur, it is certainly not a desperate cry for attention akin to what Mariah Carey tried out so disastrously so that she could still appear in R & B videos.
Whether or not Ivanka Trump has had plastic surgery or enhancement of any sort, she remains a successful and attractive personality and the apple of her father's eye.

Safe Money Places
What Is Safe Money Places?
The definition of "safe money" is money you cannot afford to lose.
A safe money place as one where your principal is protected from loss as long as you follow the initial guidelines, and if you do decide to take your money and leave, you know pretty much what leaving early will cost.
The opposite is a risk money place where if you decide to take your money you don't know what you will get back. It could be more than you put in – risk money places offer the potential for much higher returns than safe money places – but it could also be less than you started with or even zero.
If you would like to find our more about Safe Money Places, please visit our educational website www.safemoneyplaces.com for more information regarding all Safe Money Places such as Certificates of Deposit and Savings Bonds.
Fixed annuities are a great way to supplement lost income during
retirement. Fixed annuities provide guaranteed streams of income you
cannot outlive.
Fixed annuities provide a guaranteed minimum interest rate and are
considered savings instruments. Insurance companies issue all fixed
annuities. They are not government or bank obligations, so naturally
they are not FDIC insured. However, fixed annuities have an
extraordinary record of safety and offer other benefits.
Annuities can provide:
– A means of accumulating interest on a tax advantaged basis.
– An estate instrument that preserves and protects assets.
– A guaranteed income for life that also lets you access the
The best type of life insurance is the type that is enforced when you pass away. These policies are a great way to financially protect your family and transfer wealth to beneficiaries in a tax efficient manner.
Term Life Insurance:
It should come as no surprise to you that "term" life insurance involves "time," that it pays a death benefit to your heirs only if
you (the insured) die during a specified period.
Permanent Life Insurance:
The two primary differences between Term Life and Permanent Life insurance are: Permanent Life Insurance provides you with coverage throughout your entire lifetime, and it may include a way for you to build "cash value in your policy.

Well, I wasn't sure if new book ideas would join me in retirement, but now one has. I've long been interested in the so-called "archaic smile" of ancient Greek art. It figured prominently in my novel Bulla Felix: The Roman Robin Hood. Now I've taken a closer look at "the smile" and the coins on which it appears.
My new book, entitled "The 'Archaic Smile' and Greek Coins", presents the historical and cultural background and possible significance of the famous smile. It includes a fully annotated catalog of 84 spectacular coin types displaying "the smile," maps showing the distribution of mints, and a basic chronology of the Archaic Period. There are more than 100 illustrations, including enlarged photographs of all coin specimens.
My 65th birthday is next March and I've run out of book ideas. I plan to retire soon and may not be able to afford my book publishing software subscription or maybe even high speed internet. So, I decided to write my literary autobiography now. In addition to reflections on most of my published works, Auto-BOOKS-ography includes some background about my life and influences.
Many of the chapters in this book are expanded versions of my blog entries here, but there is a lot of new material and I thought it would be nice to have everything in one place – for me to reminisce and for anyone who is interested to review my body of work.

Once again, I have published a new edition of my guide to the hammered pennies minted under the English kings of 15th century Ireland sooner than expected. As with the third edition, this was prompted by the tentative discovery of a new coinage. This time, it is an unrecorded early portrait coinage of Henry VII minted soon after the death of Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 using crown and portrait punches that had been used for both Edward V and Richard himself. This proposed coinage seems to have been extremely short-lived as only two examples bearing Henry's name are known to me.
Seems like a good opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed ideas, new discoveries, and words of encouragement, as well as those dealers and others who have chosen to cite my work in their coin attributions. I have noticed a great increase in interest in these coins since the first edition was published ten years ago, as well as a significant increase in prices. Few medieval coinages offer as much variety of types and opportunities for new discoveries as the Anglo-Irish pennies of Edward IV, Edward V, Richard III, and Henry VII.
Are human lives more "important", valuable, or fulfilling than animal lives? Are animals less conscious or aware than humans? I don't think so. I don't see how anyone who has really gotten close to an animal and seen things from his or her perspective can believe that.
But how do we measure the worth and value of an animal life? It occurred to me that a crude method might be the same one we apply (inadequately) to human lives – the obituary. Rather than generalize about animal behavior and experience, why not consider the life stories of individual animals?
So here it is: a collection of fact-based obituaries for thirty animals of various kinds, with portrait drawings for most.
Way back in 1974, when I wasn't all that far removed from high school (class of '70), I picked up a copy of the brilliant publication "National Lampoon 1964 High School Yearbook Parody", by P. J. O'Rourke, Doug Kenney, and David Kaestle. This hilarious spoof inspired the movie "National Lampoon's Animal House" and serves as a tongue-in-cheek time capsule for baby boomers, filled with cultural references and satire that still bring back memories, cringe-worthy and otherwise.
The parody, in typical 1960s' yearbook format, begins with photographs of actors representing stereotypical teachers and students. The familiar teenage icons are all there – the nerd, the quarterback, the cheerleader, the dreamy artist, the bully, the criminal, and so on. I laughed at the exaggerated biographical details and portrait poses, but what struck me most indelibly was that I knew these people! I recognized personality types that were very familiar from my own high school experiences
During the past forty years, I have witnessed a succession of younger generations come along. Though each has its distinctive style and forms of expression, I see the same general types that I knew in my youth. Indeed, most of the stereotypes in the National Lampoon yearbook are still instantly recognizable, demonstrating their continuing relevance. It occurred to me that, transcending cultural change, there are basic human stereotypes that exist in every human society – and which must have adaptive value for the species or they would not be so persistent and widespread.
This realization inspired me to consider what the basic human stereotypes and their adaptive value might be to the basic human group, which is postulated to consist of approximately 150 individuals. My musings have now been published in the form of a book, entitled "The Necessary Nerd: Essential Stereotypes in the Basic Human Group".
The Necessary Nerd is not a scientific treatise. Rather, it is essay by an amateur who argues for a greater acceptance and understanding of personality diversity as an adaptive feature of the human species.
It's been a while – have been busy with a new book based on the writings of some of my ancestors, mostly from Virginia in the 19th Century. The title is Trice Blessed: Lives and Letters of a Virginia Family: 1816-1968. These were very interesting, well-spoken people, and their letters and journals are full of erudition, passion, and down-to-earth every day life. And they had a lot to say – this book ballooned to 380 pages, illustrated with almost 100 pictures and dripping with the very best of old Virginia culture from the period. The terminal date – 1968 – is a bit misleading as that was the year in which the last of the Trices covered in this book passed away at the age of 94.
Though Trice Blessed is geared toward descendants and close relatives of the Trices, especially members of the Minor, Caskie, Davis, and Cocke families – it will appeal to anyone interested in the 19th and early 20th Century period. I love these people; they have had a profound influence on my life though I only met one of them. I believe that anyone would be uplifted and entertained by coming to know them. Besides family details, there are ample doses of humor, history, piety, and romance, with echoes of the worlds of Jane Austen, Scarlett O'Hara, Queen Victoria – even Sigmund Freud and Mary Poppins, Virginia style.
It's been not quite a year since the second edition of Irish Hammered Pennies of Edward IV and Richard III was published and I didn't anticipate writing another installment for a couple of years at least. However, some very exciting new discoveries about this fascinating series of silver coins forced my hand.
To review some history: Ireland was more or less ruled by England during the 15th Century and Irish coins usually bore the titles and portraits of the English kings. A tremendous variety of pennies struck by Edward IV (reigned 1461-1483) is described in my book, as well as the few coins struck by his successor, Richard III (reigned 1483-1485).
When Edward IV died, he was at first succeeded by his 12 year-old son, Edward V (reigned April 9 – June 26, 1483), but the young king was soon declared illegitimate by Parliament and his uncle Richard took the throne instead.
Despite the brevity of his reign, Edward V had coins struck in his name in London, which are quite rare and difficult to identify as they bear the same legends as his father's coins. There is no record of coins being struck for Edward in Ireland before he was removed from the throne, but I have discovered evidence that they were.
The rest of the story is in my book, now available on Amazon. The book also features seven new mint varieties and five new types that have been discovered since the second edition was published.

Truthstream Media | Now a FOURTH series of explosions has hit China after it very purposefully devalued its currency a few weeks ago…
Our media keeps acting like China just randomly blows up all the time, and China is silencing journalists and bloggers with jail who even attempt to report on what's happening there, but… Like Mike Adams of Natural News wrote, "One explosion is an accident; four is sabotage."
The Wall Street banksters only hold their power over everyone if the USD maintains World Reserve Currency status. Well nothing lasts forever…
Read Mike Adams' series on these explosions over at Natural News:
BOMBSHELL: China and America already at war: Tianjin explosion carried out by Pentagon space weapon in retaliation for Yuan currency devaluation… Military helicopters now patrolling Beijing
China retaliates? Massive explosion rips through U.S. military ammunitions storage facility near Tokyo; sabotage device found on the scene
Second massive explosion strikes China's production heartland in Shandong as currency wars accelerate toward WWIII
China's covert war with America heats up: warships near Alaska, another industrial explosion, and China unveils cruise missile that renders U.S. carriers obsolete
One explosion is an accident; four is sabotage: Fourth industrial explosion rocks China in string of covert attacks on industry

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R) fired back at some of the media coverage aimed at him saying that he is "certain" that not one average voter would list "the issues we heard about in Washington from the media" among their top concerns, and "these other things aren't things that people care about" on Tuesday's "On the Record" on the Fox News Channel.
"People care about big issues. They care about growth, they care about reform, they care about safety. They want to know what is a prospective candidate likely to do when it comes to making sure everyone can live their piece of the American Dream. What are they going to do to transfer power away from Washington to the hard-working taxpayers, and what are they going to do to make people safe from radical Islamic terrorism around the world. Those are the things people care about. And I think the reaction I had to some of those so-called gotcha questions, was these other things aren't things that people care about. I was — you'll appreciate this Greta, I was in Green Bay, Wisconsin this afternoon. I was at two of the leading job creators talking about career opportunities for people with disabilities, and somebody in the press at the end asked me a question about this very subject, and I said 'I challenge you to go out with me and walk down the streets here in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and ask people 100 people, 100 people on the street what do they really care about, and I'm certain that not a [single] one of them would talk about the issues we heard about in Washington from the media" he stated.
Walker did say that questions about his lack of a college degree were "fair," but "I think anybody who is hiring someone in their 40s or 50s for a job would probably look at their performance the last few years in previous jobs, and that's what I asked people to do here."
Walker also touted his success and agenda, saying "it's one thing to fight, but it's another thing to win. What we have done in Wisconsin is fight and win for the hard-working taxpayers. We've done that by putting the power back in their hands, it's part of the reason why we had the fight with the big government union bosses — the union bosses four years ago. And if you show in the end that you're fighting for the hard-working taxpayers and winning, they're going to stand with you you."
He concluded, "people in America want a fresh, new face, they want big bold ideas from outside of Washington. And they want someone who has got a proven track record. A lot of people can talk about fighting for taxpayers, for the hard-working taxpayers of this country, — I think there are far fewer of us that can actually say we fought and won for the hard-working taxpayers. We're going to lay out, not just that narrative, but I think then lay out what that means in terms of fighting for more growth by getting government out of the way, by fighting for removing power from Washington from big government special interests, and putting it firmly in the hands of the taxpayers. I think, increasingly in this country we need to talk about what safety means and standing with our true allies like Israel, not walking out on them. Certainly being there when Prime Minister Netanyahu is at the Congress. I think it's important to make that case that we stand with our allies and we're going to stand up against radical Islamic terrorists to make sure we take the fight to them, and not wait until they take the fight to us."
Walker also denied that his statement that "I didn't inherit fame or fortune from my family," was a potshot at Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton.

Brubaker Warms Up "Winter Soldier"
Earlier today, Marvel held a "Next Big Thing" press conference call to discuss the just-announced "Winter Soldier" series by Ed Brubaker and Butch Guice. Comic Book Resources was there, live, updating throughout the call.
On hand for the call were Junior Sales Administrator James Viscardi moderating the discussion, Ed Brubaker himself and editor and SVP-Publishing Tom Brevoort.
"We all need to take a moment and congratulate Matt Fraction on 'Fear Itself,'" Brubaker began, noting that it was Marvel's best-selling title of the year.
Speaking about Bucky's return, Brubaker laughed, "I couldn't be happier that I no longer have to keep this a secret." He said that it had been difficult not lying in interviews. "Half the people who were so mad about Bucky dying were the ones who were mad about bringing him back in the first place," he added, "It feels good to have won them over."
He concluded, "Hopefully I'll be able to win them all back."
Brubaker said that the plan had always been to make Bucky Cap then ultimately have him revert to Winter Soldier, "and hopefully get his own series." Originally, the fake death would have happened in the "Gulag" story, but "Fear Itself" "accomplished the same thing" by allowing the Marvel U to believe him dead, "so he can slink back into the shadows as the Winter Soldier."
The revelation that the Russians created other Winter Soldier-like sleeper agents will provide the launching point for the new series.
Brubaker said that he and Butch Guice have been working together for ages, and it's been exciting to see his evolution, especially as he explores the more shadowy, street-level scenes that will be seen in "Winter Soldier." "The look of 'Winter Soldier' will stand out from anything else on the shelf," the writer said.
Brevoort said that, at present, "Bucky's coming back to life is known to maybe three or four people-Cap, Nick, and Black Widow-and it kind of has to stay that way, because otherwise his past catches up with him again." Brevoort added that "this doesn't mean he won't run into people," and his existence also poses problems for Cap if Bucky is found out, "because he knows, and knows that, legally, he shouldn't really be out there."
Brubaker added that Bucky will "have to go on these covert missions without outing himself," and will confront people who "will shit their pants, recognizing him and realizing he's not dead."
The series will feature new villains and "things that are linked to Bucky's history from the Cold War," Brubaker said.
Black Widow will be a part of the "Winter Soldier" series, Brubaker said. "It's a bit like the 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith team," Brubaker said.
Brubaker will mix Marvel history with actual Soviet era history, such as Department X, where mind control experiments were conducted.
Nick Fury is a member of the supporting cast, Brubaker said, though "he won't appear as much as Black Widow." The writer said he is being careful "not to step all over what Jonathan [Hickman] was doing in 'Secret Warriors.'"
Brubaker said that he considers "Winter Soldier" his "ultimate Marvel book," focusing on his favorite characters and topics.
Asked about international threats outside of Cold War legacies, Brubaker said "there will be globetrotting" and noted that "a lot of modern espionage is corporate espionage," adding that there will be multiple threats and multiple kinds of threats.
Though the "Winter Soldier" series will be the more espionage-focused series, "Captain America" will continue to feature many of the hallmarks that made his run a success. "It helps that one has a guy in a dark uniform slinking in the shadows, and the other one is a guy in a brightly colored suit," he said. "They'll stand apart quite nicely."
Brevoort said there are at least two more arcs of "Captain America and Bucky" with direct input from Brubaker, after which he will "consult" on the series.
"I was pretty heavily involved in the second art," Brubaker said of "Cap and Bucky," adding that it changed considerably from writer James Asmus' initial pitch, but "I am not involved in the day-to-day writing scripts."
Asked about taking the Infinity Formula off the table, Brubaker called it a "get out of death free card" and considered it a "one-time use thing." He added that it could later be discovered that "the Infinity Formula stopped working, and you want that on the table." Nick Fury, he noted, has not been seen using it lately, so giving it up isn't a huge loss.
On the subject of Bucky keeping his secret, Brevoort said, "We have to remember that this is someone who, for years, operated in secret doing reprehensible things." He added that Bucky has been "haunted, if not tortured," since he got his memories back and he's now "diving headlong back into that crap."
Guice will not be invoking classic artists' styles as he did on "Captain America," Brubaker said. "He did that because that was part of the tradition of that book," he said, but "Winter Soldier" needs to be its own book, "modern and now."
Brevoort said Guice "is giving the 'Winter Soldier' book its own look," with Brubaker adding that Guice is doing washes and other techniques. "It's hard to describe, but once you see it, you'll say, 'oh!'" Brevoort said.
Bucky, unlike Mockingbird, will not get enhanced powers from the Infinity Formula. "She got an entirely different thing," Brevoort said, noting that Mockingbird's included a version of the Super Soldier Serum and other ingredients.
Brubaker joked that Bucky got "a weaker dose that was also laced with purple acid from Woodstock."
"When Tom and I first talked about this in our initial phone conversations, I don't think either of us could imagine a day when Bucky was embraced as one of the favorite new Marvel characters since Wolverine and Deadpool," Brubaker concluded. "So I just want to thank you."

Five Under $50
Due to having an unemployed husband, I have dutifully avoided even taking a peek at Smartpak and Dover all summer long. I've even deleted their "Sale!" emails without opening them. But this "Favorite Things Under $50" contest of Nicku's saw me clicking those buried bookmarks in order to find photos of my favorite things. Must...exhibit...self-control...
(Go enter Nicku's contest yourself here!)
#5: Toklat Pony Bareback Pad
It's "just" a bareback pad, but I love the 1970's-style plaid that looks like it belongs on a couch in a room with dark wood paneling.
#4: Winner's Circle Stiff Brush
#3: SSG 10 Belows
These gloves are the only reason my Reynauds-afflicted self can make it through 8 hours of stalls per week during an Indiana winter. I think that says everything.
#2: Tailored Sportsman lambskin-palm crochet-back gloves (actual model name is "Ladies A Rated Hunter")
Can you tell I like gloves? I've written about these before. I love them, and have schooled in nothing else for years. But now they're really and truly discontinued, so I'm going to have to move on when this pair bites it, probably to something synthetic.
#1: Fleck Superflex Dressage Whip
I have actually bought two of these, because I left the first one at the Hoosier Horse Fair and felt
lost without it. It's wonderful. It's light and balanced, super whippy so that I barely need to flick it to get a response from Connor, and the golf-grip handle is easy to hold, even in my small hands. Bonus, it comes in my preferred laughably short 100cm length (including lash), which means it will never grow legs and walk away, since nobody else in my barn likes them that short.
What product can you not live without?

Coals is young duo from Poland under the leadership of Katarzyna Kowalczyk and Łukasz Rozmysłowski. The name of the band is connected with the region they come from – Silesia which is famous for coal mines.
An exclusive British magazine "The Quietus" about Coals: "The somewhat creamy quality of Coals' music is an experience akin to being wrapped up in cotton wool and sailing away on ebb tides of unperturbed bliss.It could well be down to the silky smooth voice of vocalist Katarzyna Kowalczyk or possibly the multi-instrumentation of Łukasz Rozmysłowski but the net result is gorgeously lush music that increases the anticipation of their yet-to-be released debut album."
Coals are inspired by artists such as Spooky Black, Soap&Skin, Dean Blunt and Sigur Ros. The band have played quite a lot of concerts in Poland and abroad (Iceland Airwaves, Positivus Festival, Reeperbahn Festival, LOFTAS, Tune In Tel Aviv, BUSH Budapest) and they have the support of Icelandic bands (Rokkurro, Myrra Ros) to their credit. They performed on 10th edition of Off Festival which is one of the most important music festivals in the world according to Pitchfork. They also played for popular American radio station KEXP (twice, during the Off Festival and the Iceland Airwaves) and their composition "Weightless" was "KEXP Song of the day" in September of 2015. They recently recorded a song called "Rave03'" which is the first single from an upcoming album (release sometime in 2017) about childhood.

Rachel of Rachel Rewritten doesn't consider herself a frugal gal but says she's been on a DIY kick lately to save some money. Her first project was creating an Anthropologie-inspired mug to replace one that had sadly been damaged in a move. Rachel used a silk screen stencil and paint to recreate a very similar design on a plain white mug. The beauty of it is that Rachel can now make as many mugs as she wants reusing the stencil. I think these would make awesome gifts!
Rachel was inspired by the Homegrown Monogram Mugs from Anthropologie.

The Holidays are quickly approaching!
Monday, December 7, 2009
Carol (in the middle) is our support group leader. As you can see, she does a great job of making everyone feel welcome to the party!
Jessica (in front) couldn't wait until we did our present exchange game!
Lynne (on the left) has such a supportive sister!
Paula (left) and Barb both said, "I don't like having my picture taken!" I told them, "Why do you suppose I'm always holding the camera?!?"
Dean and Karen enjoy getting caught up on each other's lives.
Lynne and Ed share how they've been feeling since the last meeting.
Carol is "sharing the love" with PH nurse, Judy!
Rod was "thrilled" to have picked some lovely candles for his present!
Roy ended up with a "beer maker." I'm not sure Frances, his wife, thinks it's such a great idea!
Dean wasn't sure what to do with his "colorful" socks and gloves that he picked! He was thrilled when someone "stole" them from him and he got to pick something else!
Karen, on the other hand WAS thrilled when she picked this book out of the presents. But, her happiness didn't last very long. Someone else "stole" it from her and she had to pick another gift!
Bob was THRILLED when he got the chance to steal the "Keep you Coffee Hot" mug from someone!
For a bunch of sick people, we are kind of a cut-throat group!!
Actually, this is the most amazing, energizing, loving and motivating bunch of people I have even known.
Thanks for checking in.
Thanks for reading.

Hi Annette it has been a long time since I've been to the blogs. Your Christmas exchange sounds like fun. One picks a wrapped gift, then you all re-exchange the gifts after they are opened. I like that idea. Sounds like you have a great time with your group. I love the pictures - I too would be the one taking them.

Read a review of the exhibit and an account of Agnes Martin's determination to destroy her early works in Wall Street Journal
I have to say that not only do I prefer her early works, but this story has started me to consider how the place I live, Maine, informs what and how I paint. Wondering how it would change were I to move to NYC, as I often dream of doing.
