Welcome to Tulane University. Founded in 1834, Tulane is one of the most highly regarded and selective
independent research universities in the United States. A member of the prestigious Association of
American Universities, we take pride in
being a part of this select group of universities with "pre
eminent programs of graduate and professional education and scholarly research." Our schools and
colleges offer undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees in the liberal arts, science and
gineering, architecture, business, law, social work, medicine and public health and tropical medicine.
Research in many disciplines has flourished at Tulane through the establishment of centers such as the
Newcomb College Institute, the Roger Thayer
Stone Center for Latin American Studies, the Middle
American Research Institute, the Tulane/Xavier Center for Bioenvironmental Research, the Murphy
Institute, the Tulane Cancer Center, the Tulane Center for Gene Therapy and the Newcomb College
Center for R
esearch on Women. The university is ranked by the Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement of Teaching as a university with "very high research activity." Of more than 4,300 higher
educational institutions rated by the foundation, Tulane remains in a presti
gious category that includes
only 2 percent of universities nationwide.
Tulane strives to connect its values and mission to the needs of the city of New Orleans, the state, and
the nation. Community involvement is now more important than ever as the univer
sity participates in
the rebirth of New Orleans. Faculty and staff lend their expertise to rebuilding efforts and students gain
world experience while putting their skills to use in the community.
The undergraduate experience is marked by close studen
faculty interaction, a variety of campus
programs, and a diverse student body representing all 50 states and more than 40 different countries.
Tulane undergraduates will have full
time faculty teaching them right from the start. When you combine
that kin
d of educational experience with the opportunity to be involved in the largest urban renewal
project ever undertaken in our country, you get a college experience found
only at Tulane, only in New
With 4,400 employees, Tulane is the largest employe
r in New Orleans. The university is dedicated to
attracting and retaining the very best faculty, staff and students as we move forward toward our goal of
universal recognition as one of the world's most preeminent educational and research institutions.

Welcome to Unspoken Words!
We know that our time on earth is finite, so the loss of a friend, spouse, or parent is inevitable. Still, it is one of the most painful experiences in life. The absence of their smile, their laugh, and their presence can be deeply overwhelming
You need Flash Player in order to view this.
Although it is impossible to replace the person, it is incredible how much comfort can be found in little things like old photos, cards, and mementos.
One common void that can make the mourning process infinitely more difficult, however, is regret over
unspoken words
. It is the uninvited guest that is all too often present at funerals and during the time following. Dr. Ira Byock argues that it doesn't have to be this way. She explains, "we live each moment just a heartbeat away from death, at risk of losing everyone we love. We can't change this sobering fact of life, but we can ensure that on any given day we have said the things that we would most want the important people in our lives to know."
Unspoken Words is a unique messaging service created to help you ensure that you do just that. We assist you in planning and recording final words that will bring your loved ones a tangible sense of comfort after you pass.
Eulogies are a traditional, acceptable part of funeral oration. While they play an important role in the service, your words should play a part too. Your message (called your ilogy) has the potential to bring love, laughter, and healing during a time of sorrow and loss better than any eulogy ever possibly could. This pre-recorded message is to be played at the day of your Funeral.
...the best gift you can leave your family and friends...
it's like having
There is a well known quote that says, "When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure." Most of us never know the hour that we will become but a treasured memory. We understand that it is impossible to replace a person's laugh, smile, and presence once they are gone, but we fully believe that there is no greater gift that you could leave behind than to have left no words unspoken. Why not take a little time now to create something that will help others celebrate your time together. What do you want your friends to know? What does your spouse need to hear from you? What might your parents like to hear? What words of wisdom do you have to share with your children that they can tuck deep in their soul? Let us help you with the details of planning your public and personal ilogies, and the technical part of recording and securing them. By permanently preserving these special messages for your loved ones, you can pass with no regrets and they can move forward with a full heart.

Julie Borlaug is challenging farm writers and broadcasters to expand their audiences, change their focus and engage consumers to offset some of the anti-GMO, anti-technology and misinformation rampant in the popular press.
Borlaug, granddaughter of Nobel Peace Prize winner Norman Borlaug, addressed the annual Bayer CropSciences Ag Issues Forum this week. That forum is an annual precursor to the Commodity Classic, held this year in San Antonio.
Borlaug has taken up some of her late grandfather's work in international agriculture as associate director for external relations for the Norman Borlaug Institute for International Agriculture at Texas A&M.

Ronnie O'Sullivan was thrashed 6-1 by 17-year-old Yan Bingtao at the International Open in Daqing, China.The five-time world champion, who won the English Open a week ago, failed to pot a ball in the final four frames of his first-round loss."Yan played fantastically well. Maybe only Stephen Hendry and John Higgins have played that well against me before," said England's O'Sullivan.
"I didn't do that much wrong apart from missing a couple of balls."The world number nine added: "If Yan plays like that he'll be very difficult to beat in this tournament. If he can play like that consistently he'll win a lot of tournaments."China's Bingtao, ranked 53rd in the world, said: "I performed better than I thought I would."I think I can beat anyone, but I need to be calm and mature. I learned a lot from my first year as a pro, and I need to be in control and to be consistent. I might beat a top 16 player and then lose the next match."Sign up to My Sport to follow snooker news and reports on the BBC app.

Facelift Surgery in Albuquerque, New Mexico
If facial sagging has begun to make you appear tired or older than you feel, you may want to consider Facelift surgery by Dr. Miguel Gallegos. In the hands of an expert such as Dr. Gallegos, facelift surgery is a highly effective way to restore natural looking, youthful beauty to your face. This procedure works best on patients who have facial sagging, noticeable jowls, creases below their lower eyelids or around the mouth and nose, or loose skin under the chin and jaw. The surgery can be customized to address the aesthetic issues that bother you most about your face.
The Facelift Procedure
In most cases, the incisions are not long and are hidden behind the hairline in the ear area. During surgery, Dr. Gallegos carefully removes loose skin and any excess fat or tissue that may be making your face appear to droop. It is important to choose a surgeon who will perform this surgery with skill and a refined aesthetic sensibility in order to ensure that the right amount of tissue is removed and a natural appearance is achieved. The healing process usually takes several weeks. During this time patients may take prescription medication to manage any discomfort they may feel. To determine whether you are a good candidate for facelift surgery, we recommend that you visit our Albuquerque and Santa Fe area practice to consult with Dr. Gallegos.
Interested in a Facelift in New Mexico
Hermosa Plastic Surgery provides a wide variety of cosmetic procedures to our patients, including Facelift surgery. Please contact our Albuquerque office serving Santa Fe and Southern New Mexico to schedule a consultation and learn more about these procedures from our surgeon, Dr. Gallegos.

The great American pastime is taken to new heights in Osaka – right down to the flavourless, watery brew on tap.
It's often been said that there's nothing more American than baseball. But after attending a Hanshin Tigers game in Osaka, I decided that a baseball game in Japan is much more entertaining than one in the sport's birthplace.
For me, a day at the ballpark is about spending time outside, enjoying the view, eating a few hot dogs and probably drinking enough beer to keep myself reasonably entertained. It's a day of idle chatter with intermittent moments of fooling myself into believing that I have a chance of catching a foul ball; a day where drunk hecklers only take a break from yelling to flag down the beer man for another over-priced brew.
In Japan, things could not be more different.
Entering Hanshin Koshien Stadium, built in 1924, was like taking a trip back in time. With no jumbotron, padded seats or luxury suites, it is one of those increasingly rare old-school stadiums that – absent of unnecessary comforts – keeps the focus on the game.
The atmosphere resembled European football more than American baseball. People stood and chanted in unison, blew horns and clanked mini bats against each other the entire time their team was at bat, and respectfully let the opposing fans do the same for their team. Almost every aspect of the game at Koshien – down to the spectacle of thousands of deflating balloons flying around the stadium during the seventh inning stretch – was better than any other I had ever been to.
Instead of hot dogs, fans dined on sushi and takoyaki (octopus balls), and there was not a beer man to be found. Instead there were beer girls, or "biru no uriko" – Japanese women in bright pink baseball caps, t-shirts and skirts, utility belts full of plastic cups and various other accoutrements, and, most importantly, a mini keg strapped to their backs.
At US games, beer men come up with clever slogans, hoping to catch the attention of thirsty fans. In Japan, my Australian seat mate turned that relationship around. "Ooh. Look at that bird! I like her," he would yell. "Wait, wait! Hold it right there, darlin'. Now smile for the camera. What a lovely smile you have. That's a good girl!"
I'm fairly certain that by the end of the game, despite drinking a relatively modest amount of beer, he had taken a picture of nearly every biru no uriko in the stadium.
I couldn't help but think that these girls were subjected to similar behaviour on a nightly basis, all while in stifling heat with roughly 15kg of beer strapped to their backs. Even in their bright pink uniforms, the biru no uriko make US beer men, with the 24-or-so beers they carry, seem like wimps.
I didn't have a lot of money on hand (in Japan, it is infuriatingly difficult for foreigners to withdraw money and the stadium only accepted one type of Japanese credit card), so I had a difficult decision to make. I could either spend my 600 yen on the primary ballpark beer, Asahi Super Dry – a crisp, refreshing, but relatively flavourless beer – or I could feast on a delicious order of takoyaki.
It was too hard to justify sacrificing what would have been my first meal that day for a pretty much substance-less beer. I won't lie, I don't mind Asahi Super Dry – but only in the following circumstances: with sushi, when too full for a substantial beer or when sitting in the sweltering heat of late July, which this happened to be. But while it's one of Japan's top-selling beers, it is by no means a great brew, and has even been credited by some for leading the way in the declining standards of Japanese beer drinkers, who seem to increasingly go for refreshing-yet-flavourless suds over German-style lagers, such as Kirin and Sapporo, which were once all that was available.
A faltering economy and rising prices are also to blame for this movement towards the dull. In 1994, happoshu, a low-malt beer containing less than 67% malt, was created as a cheaper alternative, because Japan taxes beer on malt content rather than alcohol content. When the government adjusted taxes, making happoshu more expensive, the big breweries counted on people's love of alcohol trumping their discerning palates, and beer companies fought back by creating beer with even less malt. This reached its apex in 2004 with the birth of a new category of beer-like beverages: daisan no biru (third beer). This maltless liquid resembles beer in the same way that vegan shrimp imitates a real crustacean. It contains similar amounts of alcohol, but replaces malt with ingredients like pea and soy protein, and is making up an increasingly large portion of the Japanese beer market. Today, many of the big breweries offer happoshu and third beer alternatives to their regular beers, such as Kirin 1000 or Sapporo Creamy White.
Thankfully, when big brewers were starting to make happoshu in 1994, the government also changed legislation to open previously closed doors for microbreweries. Serious drinkers have been enjoying a surge of excellent craft brews – such as those coming from Kiuchi Brewery in the city of Naka for the last few years. But Japan's best beers are generally not available outside of the country, and even in Japan they're expensive and can be difficult to find.
So unless I missed a renegade beer man in some dusty corner of the stadium slinging bottles of Baird Beer (a brewery in Numazu, Shizuoka that specialises in unfiltered, keg-and-bottle conditioned beers), there were no microbrews to be found at Koshien. What was available was Ichiban's Shibori Frozen Draft, an ill-advised gimmicky combination that pairs perfectly decent Ichiban beer (as far as mass-produced Japanese beer goes) with frozen-beer foam, which resembles frozen yogurt in appearance but has a consistency closer to the top of a bubble bath.
The idea behind this frozen foam, created by mixing beer and air, and cooling it to -5C, is that it will keep your beer cold from start to finish – a problem that doesn't exists if you drink at a normal pace. It's a "problem" others have tried to fix before: Coors Light invented wide-mouth cans so we could drink our beer faster, and designed the even more absurd "cold-activated" beers, where the can's colour-changing mountains revealed whether the beer was cold or not, therefore saving us from the arduous process of actually reaching out and touching the can.
As tempted as I was to enter into this drinking experiment, I finally decided to go for the takoyaki. I will always be able to drink lousy beer at baseball games – in fact, at many US stadiums it's my only choice – but would I have another chance to grab chopsticks and scarf down an order of squid balls before the seventh-inning stretch? Besides, the energy of the crowd gave me all the buzz I needed.
Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly translated takoyaki. This has been fixed.

MARU – A Renaissance Woman and Her Art
The Renaissance man or woman knows a great deal regarding a variety of topics and is accomplished in areas of both the arts and the sciences: This ideal developed in Renaissance Italy from the notion that "a man can do all things if he will."
Maru Macias Carreras is such a person. Not only is she an award-winning artist, but she has worked as an accountant, a teacher, and a school administrator, and is now president of her own educational consulting firm. She attended the University of Miami where she received a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration majoring in Accounting and met her husband. She later acquired a Master degree in Elementary Education and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership. She is now "retired" and immensely enjoying her two passions, children and art! Maru owns an educational consulting firm, and directs several children's educational programs. She loves her career choices, and jokingly describes herself as an oxymoron, an accountant and an artist!"
She was born Maru Macías in Havana, Cuba to very loving, encouraging, and supportive parents. In 1961, her father, mother, and two brothers had to leave their prosperous lifestyle in Cuba and started a new life in the United States. Maru is proud to call herself a Cuban American. Maru claims that, "Cuba is my roots and homeland, but the United States is my home, the greatest country in the world!"
Maru is a self-taught artist. "Art is not learned, it is in our hearts, intrinsic, and innate," says Maru. Her creations are like Maru, passionate, spontaneous, energetic, and fun. She creates her pieces from ardent emotions and memories which are fused to express her innermost feelings. Maru explains that, "I mold into my creations, the spirit and essence of passion, the peace of harmony, and the joy and cheerfulness of bliss, feelings I consider essential and vital to a happy, fulfilled life."
Maru and her husband have three children and six grandchildren. "I loved being a mother, but I absolutely adore being a grandma!" Maru will proudly proclaim. She admits that her family members inspire each of her creations and are the thrust that encourage her to fulfill her dream and attain realization as an artist. She insists that, "They motivate, incite, and arouse me to create uniqueness and beauty in every piece I compose. Therefore, every one of my pieces is a reflection of my love and zeal for my family members."

Guilt, anger, despair, a sense of injustice, and a river of tears: These are some of the emotions and states that can haunt a person who has suffered a devastating loss. People say the hurt will fade with time. Yet for many, the emotional wound never seems to heal.
According to grief counselor Dr. Deborah S. Derman, Ph.D., time alone is not enough.
"You have to understand that grief is normal, but it's not something you can go around or avoid," she said. "You have to go through it in order to get to the other side of it."
In her counseling practice, Derman has helped many children and adults through the grief recovery process. Because of her own traumatic losses, it's work that is very close to her heart.
Derman's first major devastation came at 27 when her boyfriend committed suicide. Ten years later, she watched as a small plane crashed at a local airport, killing both of her parents. Then when she was 39, her husband died of a sudden heart attack on the rugby field, leaving Derman alone with two toddlers and pregnant with a third child.
"When I was widowed in 1992, there was no such thing as cell phones. There were no online groups. The resources were very poor," she said. "So I decided that when I got my feet on the ground, I was going to go back to school, get a doctorate, and figure out what really happens to people after a loss."
Derman has led group and individual grief counseling sessions for over 20 years, but her latest tool takes a surprising form. "Colors of Loss and Healing" is the first coloring book designed for grief recovery.
Epoch Times spoke with Derman about her book and the struggle to process grief.
Epoch Times: People can suffer for years when someone close to them dies. Why is grief recovery so hard?
Dr. Deborah Derman: It's the cost of love. When you have really loved deeply and that person isn't with you anymore, you will miss them really forever.
One of the things that happens with patients in my practice and certainly myself is that if you remarry, nobody teaches you how to love two husbands at the same time.
We're taught to love one person at a time, but when you're widowed and marry again it can create a lot of very uncomfortable feelings. You're so grateful to have love in your life again, but there's a conflict. You think, "Am I being disloyal to one or the other?" When you love two people at once it can be very confusing until you figure out that this is how it is.
For example, my first husband died 24 years ago, and I've been remarried for 17 years. But when my children graduated from college, I really, really missed my first husband. I wished so much that he could be there to see them.
I also missed my parents terribly on graduation day. They were the most wonderful grandparents you could ever wish for. I know how proud they would have been of my children had they lived to see the kind of people they've become.
Years ago, people could have said to me, "Oh, you haven't resolved your grief. You should have tied that up and let that go a long time ago." But that's not true. I will miss my parents and my first husband for all of these things, and it's normal.
Epoch Times: So it's not as if your love for them ever goes away, it's just that your ability to function can improve with time.
Dr. Derman: That's exactly right. At the beginning of a loss it takes over every waking and sleeping moment. Everything seems to be controlled by feelings of despair, sadness, loss, or trauma, whatever the circumstances are. That's at the beginning, and then very slowly you can move away from it because you can more easily transition between the feelings of sadness and feeling alright. At the beginning everything is sad. Grief controls you. As time goes on, you can still feel it, but it won't ruin an hour, a day, a week, or an entire month anymore.
Epoch Times: How did you discover that coloring would be a helpful activity for grief recovery?
Dr. Derman: Well, my birthday is on Christmas Day, and it's a hard birthday because everyone tends to forget it. But my best friend gave me a coloring book. I looked at these illustrations with a gazillion spaces and lines and thought, "How does one even begin?" But I picked up a pencil and I colored a space. I picked up another pencil and colored another space. This light bulb moment went off for me and I thought, "Oh my goodness! This is exactly how life has proceeded with all of the things that have happened to me in my life."
Coloring is about one thing at a time. You don't worry about the whole page or the whole book. You just keep going one step at a time.
This goes hand in hand with how I see a person processing grief. As I picked up the pencils, I looked back at my own life, and my private practice that I have had for more than 20 years now, and I distilled the elements of healing that I think are important for someone at the beginning of a loss throughout a lifetime.
When you have had a devastating loss, whether it's someone dying, losing a job, or an addiction issue, in the middle of these difficult challenges, I think that if a person can clear off a space—and that means no bills, paperwork, death certificates, or medical reports—and get your coloring book and your pencils out, for a small period of time during the day you have a respite, a quiet space, and it's incredibly healing.
Epoch Times: How was this book designed to facilitate grief recovery?
Dr. Derman: I didn't just do some psychological, social, or personality components. I just looked at the whole picture and thought, "What do you need in order to heal?" So I distilled each of these elements into single words or phrases, and then I conceptualized the illustration. I looked for things within my own life and home that I thought summed up the visual.
This was a very fun activity. I thought, "How would I draw 'cherish?"' Well, when I used to walk on the beach with my husband or children we would give each other a shell or a stone at the end of the day. I've kept all those stones and shells and I cherish them. So I brought these to my illustrator and said, "Draw these." That was the process. It was wonderfully creative.
The illustration ideas come from my own life. For example, I love gardening. So to illustrate "memory," I thought of perennials because they come up every year. I had a beautiful perennial garden in my first home with my first husband. When I remarried, I moved, but I took all those perennials, and now I have them here. To me that's a beautiful way to show continuity and memory.
I took my book one step further because as a grief counselor I give everyone a journal. I think journaling is very therapeutic. So in my coloring book, every page opposite of an illustration is a place for journaling.
Epoch Times: It sounds like the two techniques work together: coloring in allows you to get into a meditative space so you can start writing your feelings.
Dr. Derman: That's right. Because it's very hard to problem solve or figure out which way to go or what to do if your mind is racing. It's a very chaotic, tough time. But if you take a few deep breaths, color, relax, and write, things become clearer. It's a wonderful combination of things to do.
When a person goes through a very challenging time they do it in their own unique way. So this is why I don't give an explanation of what I think this word should mean to you. I'm asking each person that holds this book to figure out what it means to them. For one person coloring in "friendship," they could be writing down how much they value and appreciate their friends. But for someone else who is coloring in "friendship," they could be thinking about the people who let them down. It's very different for each person. This is why this is not a recipe book. These are just starting points.
Epoch Times: Can coloring really provide effective relief from grief?
Dr. Derman: I've not studied this as a scientific endeavor like we do in graduate school, but let me give you an example.
I'm working with a family right now where the husband just killed himself. This happened a month or two ago. The family members have all retreated into corners and no one is talking to one another, because they don't want to see each other cry. I've seen this happen in families who don't know how to talk, or they're afraid to.
The other day, the mother said to me, "I colored with my daughter last night. And as we colored and wrote, we were finally able to talk about Daddy."
Maybe coloring isn't for everybody, but as a grief therapist, I only get an hour a week with someone. What do they do for the rest of the time? This gives them some structure in the rest of their lives when they're not sitting in counseling. I look at this as homework. People bring their journals when they come to see me if they want to. Or they tell me what was up for them during the week. So an awful lot goes on outside your one hour of professional time.
So, if you're at a loss, you don't know what to do and you can't stop crying, here is something that helps you focus and get it together. I think it's very valuable. It's not the only thing, but it's a tool.
When I lost a dear friend to suicide, a coloring book would have been incredibly helpful. I was so isolated and alone when I was going through my grief that I never want anybody to feel that. I really have dedicated my life to it. This coloring book is just a way for me to reach more people.
Epoch Times: What is it about coloring in particular that makes it therapeutic?
Dr. Derman: I think there's something about using your hands. I've read articles about knitting your way through grief. For me, it was gardening. Sometimes it was pulling weeds. I liked that it was repetitive.
In my book, I'm giving you a task to do. I need you to think through it, but also to sit, keep your hands occupied, and create something. I think it works.
When I lost my husband and I was too pregnant to do much, I took a watercolor class at the local art center. I sat in front of this watercolor paper and I just stared at it. I had no clue where to start. In a coloring book, the picture is already set up for you. You just start filling in the space.
Epoch Times: Why do you think coloring books in general have become so popular lately?
Dr. Derman: In our busy lives, when can we be creative? When do we get to experience beauty? How do we carve out some time that's just for us?
I think this is the core of it. It's important that every day someone can sit down and create something beautiful.

Clojure is a new dynamic programming language for the Java Virtual Machine. Clojure introduces innovative ideas around state management and concurrency, while inheriting the best ideas from the long history of Lisp-like languages. It is a language designed to solve real problems, some of which are so pervasive in current programming practice that we don't even recognize them as problems. This talk will provide an introduction to Clojure's syntax and key concepts, with examples of how they can make a real impact in large, complex systems.
Stuart Sierra is a developer at Relevance, a member of Clojure/core, and the co-author of Practical Clojure (Apress, 2010). He is heavily involved in the development of Clojure and has written numerous open-source libraries. Prior to 2010, he worked at Columbia Law School on AltLaw, a groundbreaking open-source search engine for legal scholarship, making use of Hadoop, Lucene, and semantic web technologies.

Need help with Perl multi threadingby ashok.g (Beadle)
|on Jan 25, 2012 at 18:54 UTC ( #949944=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
ashok.g has asked for the
wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi Folks,
I need some help regarding Perl multi threading.
Can I have the following functionality using multi threads in Perl?
1. Main script calls a sub routine My_1st(), where My_list() requires two or more parameters.
2. My_list calls other sub routine My_1st_inside(), where this My_1st_inside() requires two or more parameters to it and returns a value to My_1st parent sub routine.
3. My_1st() gets the values returned by My_1st_inside() and prints some results.
I am able to achieve this without threads and its working fine except that it is taking much time in a foreach loop. So, I would like to add threads to this.
I tried this but resulting with errors. Is this something that can be achievable using Perl threads?
Any help is appreciated!!

Dave is an exceptional white water kayaker and guide. Last winter he ran his 'home run' the Fairy Glen over 200 times! Apparently he's not a 'paddle bum' but a full time athlete.
Who can argue when he completed the Welsh Ironman in September 2016 and enjoys competing in full distance and sprint distance triathalons.
He has ventured to Norway and the Alps numerous times. In the Himalaya he has paddled and led the classics, and in Africa the mighty Zambezi.
Dave is also very established sea kayaker and mountaineer too. He has done some pretty impressive solo jaunts around Scotland and has a huge amount of experience guiding in Scandinavia.
He's also the son of Dave Janes senior, who introduced Leo to junior when they paddled slalom together back in the day. This was Leo's first experience of changing a nappy, and has cemented their friendship and working relationship ever since.
Dave is a winter ML.

When Things Get Crazy (Homeschool Update)
A lot.
And that meant there were changes all around to keep some sanity going. Especially in the area of school. I had been using pretty much the same thing for years. The same curriculum, schedule, expectations. After all, consistency is good, right?
At the start of the 2012-2013 school year I made a major change trying to adjust to homeschooling with a toddler on the prowl. It was a good curriculum, Charlotte Mason style (which I love) and I was so excited to dive in. It was all good until I realized my kids hated it. Seven weeks into the school year and my kids were already threatening a coup. Oops! So we went back to our old way of doing things as I researched some options to bring more of the Charlotte Mason style that we loved to our school hours again.
This time, it worked. Can you say blessed peace again. :) I'm still making some tweaks here and there. As I continue to get more experience, I'm learning more about the kids learning styles. Homeschool curriculum has exploded. There are so many choices and that it's almost daunting at times. I'm grateful to have the chance to explore new curricula and find what meets my child's learning style. Math has proved to be our hardest area to find that. I was a devout user of a mastery style math program that emphasized manipulative. There was so much I liked about it until about 3 grade. We tried to struggle through it, but the two oldest went from liking/excelling in math to really struggling. Ty is now using Teaching Textbooks and Becca is using Saxon.
I am in love with our new history program. The Mystery of History has shown me, a self proclaimed history geek, how little I knew of ancient history. We are loving going through the first book that features traditional ancient history along with showing where Biblical characters fit in. It's honestly a little hard for me not to get too far ahead of the kids in reading the book because I love it so much. We absolutely love the activities and ease of lessons. She gives a huge amount of detail in short segments that are easily remembered. And for my craft loving, kinesthetic learners the activities provide wonderful reinforcement. The short writing exercise everyday helps jog their memory for tests and quizzes while leaving room for originality.
We are using Apologia's 6th Swimming Creatures this semester. It's going to make our spring break trip so much more fun having new found knowledge of the ocean. I can't wait to check out the local estuary for the first time. We have used these books many times as references for other studies we were doing, but this is our first time to jump in and work through the whole book. The kids love the activities and the gorgeous pictures throughout the book. The younger two enjoy listening to the stories and leafing through the pages as well.
For English, we have jumped into Winston Grammar and All About Spelling. We are using the same literature book that I read through. It's so much fun to revisit those stories. Currently we are working through Robinson Crusoe. Since we have had such frigid weather this winter, we love to grab a huge blanket and snuggle on the couch as we take turns reading. We also journal or do copy work daily.
We still attend our weekly co-op. Ty and Becca love the art and gym classes there. They also take science and an elective each semester. Hope goes to a few first grade classes as well as the kindergarten class. Bree attends the preschool class. I'm so blessed to have two very dear friends teaching the younger girls. They come home with so new skill every week. This year I taught music first semester and am teaching first aid this semester to 5/6th grade.
It's always a work in progress. I'm learning every season has it's own challenges and those are learning opportunities too. Even if it just means me showing the kids how to put one foot in front of the other on hard days. Or how to show kindness when everyone has been cooped up too long. Or doing your best with the challenges that are in front of you and never giving up even if the results aren't what you hoped for.
I'm so grateful for the chance to teach my children and try to never take it for granted. So many are fighting for the same privilege. I'm trying to treasure these short years through the long days. I'd love to hear from some other homeschooling moms on what works for you!

What a Year!
It's been awhile since I've posted. About a year ago, I felt I needed to step away from the blog for awhile. I had no idea what the year held for me then.It's been one heck of a year of growth. One year of unforeseen changes. One year of questions and delayed answers. One year of friendships I never knew could exist. One year of saying goodbye to dreams of friendships I'd hoped would grow. One year of learning how little I know about being a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, teacher and servant. One year of learning how great and powerful my God is. One year of seeing things torn away and standing with empty hands and a heart full of faith that He would rebuild and redeem. And as it unfolded, I knew exactly why God had asked me to lay this down for awhile. It has been a year that required solitude and prayer. A year that changed my life forever.
I'm looking forward to catching back up with some of my bloggy friends and keeping family in the loop. I've tried to keep up with you as best I could. I'm hoping to post a few pictures of the past year, but I don't think I'm going to even try to promise myself I will "catch up." There is just too, too much. One very exciting change for our family is this!
Eliana is due to arrive late May/early June. We are beyond excited God has blessed us with another little girl. Ty and Bree are thrilled to have girl. Bree, because at her age girls are in and boys are well, boys. Ty is excited to keep his own room. Although, he has admitted to a tiny bit of disappointment. Becca and Hope were rooting for a boy, but quickly decided a girl is fine too. We all are looking forward to being able to snuggle her!
Hopefully I can keep up a little more regularly since this is the baby book I keep for my kiddos. And Ellie is going to need one!

Australian architecture firm BVN Donovan Hill completed the Australian PlantBank, a science and research facility for the Australian Royal Botanic Gardens & Domain Trust. The PlantBank, which primarily serves as a research center and repository for Australian indigenous seeds, also offers educational opportunities in the form of interpretation and exhibition facilities. Situated between the critically endangered Cumberland Plain forest and a plant nursery, the building's environmentally conscious design serves as a metaphor for the transitional nature of Australia's landscape from wild plant life to cultivation.
Built to preserve Australia's indigenous botanical heritage, the PlantBank consists of research laboratories and teaching facilities that specialize in studying a collection of 25,000 native seeds. Visitor amenities take shape in the open exhibition rooms and ramped entranceway flanked with various learning landscapes including outdoor gardens with interpretative signage. BVN Donovan Hill chose building materials that would blur the boundaries between the built and natural landscape; the reflective stainless steel panels reflect images of the landscape onto the building face and the structure's concrete base symbolizes abstracted earth.

To minimize energy consumption, the PlantBank arcs to the north and is protected by solar shading features such as glass louvres. The open plan also allows for east to west cross ventilation. A thermal labyrinth installed beneath the east wing captures and dissipates heat into the ground to reduce the HVAC load. The PlantBank also harvest rainwater and feeds collected water into a gas boost solar hot water system on the roof.

How do YOU prefer your zombies?
I grew up with the slow zombies of Night of the Living Dead, Return of the Living Dead and similar movies in which the creatures slowly shuffled after the living.
For me, the scare-factor came from the relentless nature of the monsters... Sure, you could outrun one or two of them individually, but eventually, through sheer numbers, they overwhelmed you, dragged you down and then SLOWLY started to gnaw on you.
Somewhere in the early-2000s with movies like 28 Days Later and Dawn of the Dead, zombies were re-invented as these sprinting creatures that took you down like a pack of wolves. Which is why fast zombies don't scare me so much... because there really isn't any difference between them and a pack of, say, crazed weasels.
Plus the science geek inside me wonders how zombies could run with muscles that are decaying and decomposing. Slow zombies are consistent with the idea that their muscles are atrophying and no longer function efficiently.
And with those thoughts... Happy Halloween!
