After all, in the years before the Internet, I'd sent for and received a transcript of the 1877 death registration of Joseph, which gave this information: Joseph McGinnis age 38, a labourer born Ireland died of consumption. Informant his wife Frances McGinnis who signed with her mark (X)
That agreed (pretty much) with my ancestor who I knew as Joseph McGinnis born circa 1825-1830 in Ireland, married to Frances (Fanny) Downey, and a labourer. He should have been at least 47 in 1877 but I thought perhaps the census taker misunderstood Fanny's Irish accent.
The 1881 Census Adds to the Confusion
In the 1881 census for Guelph I found the widow Frances McGinnis age 49, a charwoman and her son Joseph age 15, a moulder. It all fit as Joseph and Fanny did have a son Joseph born in 1864. We all know that census records are not always 100% accurate so I wasn't worried about the slight difference in the age of Joseph in 1881.
One small problem was another Frances McGinnis in Guelph, also a widow, age 51, born Ireland and no children with her. She was a washerwoman.
The only census records I had been able to find for the family were the 1861 census for Puslinch (near Guelph) where Joseph's age was given as 30 and 1871 for Guelph where he was listed as 46 years old. So there was already a huge discrepancy in ages! His wife Fanny was listed in 1861 as age 30 and in 1871 as 44.
Fanny's Death Registration
Discrepancies aside it seemed pretty clear to me that I'd found great-great-grandpa's death. Next I found Fanny McGinnis dying in 1890. Again this was before the Internet and online genealogy records so I sent for and received her registration which stated:
Frances McGinnis, age 60 born Ireland died in St. Joseph's Hospital in Guelph. No family member had given information. I also found a death notice for her in the Guelph newspapers which gave no further information.
Have I Really Found Their Deaths?
So there I had it. The deaths of both my great-great-grandparents. Or did I? When the 1891 census was released, I was quite surprised to find my 2nd great grandmother on it! There she was living with her daughter Delia in Guelph. How could this be? I puzzled over this but simply could not explain it. She and her husband Joseph were buried in St. Joseph's Cemetery. I had her death registration dated 1890. I had his from 1877. I finally decided that perhaps her daughter Delia had given her mother's name even though she was not living. I wasn't happy with that and knew I would pursue the discrepancy further, but at that time I had no other census records or death records to search as they were being released slowly to the public.
The 1901 Census is Released and Answers are Found
|Fanny McGinnis Death Registration 1904
It was very challenging to figure out how to solve this confusion. There was no other Joseph and Fanny McGinnis in the census records for Guelph and area. There was only my family - and that was verified. There was only one Joseph McGinnis death (in 1877) yet there were two Fanny McGinnis' deaths (one in 1890 and one in 1904). There was only one couple named Joseph and Fanny McGinnis in the census for 1861 and 1871 and they were definitely mine. My Joseph did not appear in any census after 1871 and my Fanny was listed as a widow in 1881. I began to wonder if it was possible my 2nd great grandfather was a bigamist.
Church of Our Lady Holds the Clues
I immediately wrote to request the burial records for Joseph who died in 1877 and Fanny who died in 1890. The Church secretary found and photocopied the deaths. And there it was - the burial record of Joseph stated in part :
"... Joseph McGinnis, husband of Frances Foster, deceased the 25th inst. in the town of Guelph, aged 48 years."
Frances Foster? My ancestor was Frances Downey. So this Joseph who died in 1877 didn't appear to be my 2nd great-grandfather. But where was my Joseph in 1881? My Fanny was listed as a widow. If he died in Guelph between 1871 and 1881 why was there no death registration? Why no burial record at the Catholic Church (I did request a 10 year search of the records for him but nothing was found)
The burial record for Frances who died in 1890 stated that she was the widow of Joseph McGinnis and that she was born in Gilbraltor.
Questions and More Questions
And so the puzzle remains - what happened to my Joseph McGinnis? The last record of him is the 1871 census. Was he a bigamist? Did he die in 1877? Did he leave Ontario for the USA, as many of his cousins and brothers did? Did he die there and his widow Fanny returned to Guelph by 1881?
And which widow in that 1881 census is my Fanny?
And why is there no second couple named Joseph and Fanny McGinnis in the Guelph area in any census record, other than my 2nd great-grandparents?
I'm leaning towards Fanny and Joseph leaving Guelph for the USA, Joseph dying there and Fanny returning. My reasoning is not only that I can't find a death record in Ontario for Joseph but also because I am unable to find their unmarried children Mary Jane aka Mae and Robert in the 1881 census for Ontario or the 1880 census for USA. Of course since I'm not sure that the Robert age 15 in 1881 is the son of my Fanny or the Fanny who died in 1890, I might also be missing Robert in 1880 and 1881.
I've not found Fanny's grave or her burial record from the Catholic Church.

Mark Zuckerberg has clicked "Like" on the Keystone XL Pipeline — and now his timeline is going to be chock-full of angry.
The Facebook founder and CEO recently started a political advocacy group called FWD.us — and the group is running a series of television ads in support of the controversial Keystone XL Pipeline and drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
His PAC was created to support immigration reform, but it is also going to support such things as drilling. There are those in Congress who support immigration reform, but who also support drilling, and some say that the PAC funding might be a means to an end.
Feared and loathed by environmentalists, the pipeline would open up Canadian tar sands for oil and gas exploration.
Activists in the San Francisco Bay Area say they are "angered and mystified" over Zuck's turn for the pipe, and a group of about 50 protested Wednesday at Facebook's world headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif. The protest was timed just before the company released its first-quarter earnings. . Wednesday is also "May Day," a day where many took up immigrants' rights and a path to citizenship as the key causes of the day.
U.S. & World
The protesters questioned why Zuckerberg would "spend millions in support" of the pipeline, "among the dirtiest projects on Earth."
And they created an online petition to stop "running ads supporting fossil fuels" which as of Wednesday afternoon had collected more than 18,000 signatures.
Zuckerberg did not come outside the building when the protect occurred about noon, nor did he issue any statement on his Facebook news website.
Supporters, however, point out that that building the pipeline means thousands of jobs.
FWD.us's ads feature Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) bashing President Barack Obama for not being supportive-enough of the pipe.
Credo Mobile, the socially-active mobile carrier, says that Facebook has refused to run its ads that blast the pipeline and FWD.us's support for it.
Even though experts say Zuckerberg's primary directive in effecting change in social policy is immigration reform, some are not going to agree with using the pipeline ads as "cover" for that change.
"But invariably there is going to be people who don't understand and the inevitable result is going to be this type of press fire," Dan Schnur, a political science professor at the University of Southern California, told the Los Angeles Times.
Ironically, the Zuckerberg critics have a Facebook page dedicated to their cause.

text: Monday, April 16, 2012 Pelvic Floor Exercises Effective for Stress, Urgency Incontinence Pelvic floor muscle training is effective for treating adult women with urinary incontinence (UI) without risk of side effects, according to a new report from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The report also found that drug-based treatments can be effective, but the degree of benefit is low and side effects are common. In response to a request from the public, AHRQ funded a systematic review of the clinical research to determine what is known about the comparative effectiveness, benefits, and adverse effects of UI interventions for women and the utility of methods for diagnosis and treatment evaluation. The systematic review included 905 publications presenting the results of clinical studies published from January 1990 through December 2011. Researchers concentrated on 2 types of incontinence—stress incontinence and urgency incontinence. Exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles were found to be effective in increasing women's ability to hold their urine. Pelvic floor muscle training combined with bladder training improved mixed (stress and urgency) incontinence, the report found. Estrogen treatment was found to be effective in treating stress incontinence, but with some side effects. Another drug treatment, the antidepressant duloxetine, was not found to be effective, while carrying high risk of side effects. Overall, the report found that the drugs reviewed showed similar effectiveness. However, with some drugs, more women discontinued treatment due to bothersome side effects. The full report is available from AHRQ. A summary is provided to clinicians to inform discussions of options with patients and to assist in decision making along with consideration of a patient's values and preferences. Comments There's a new and safer way to achieve the same results as Coaptite. Using blood-derived growth factors to treat stress incontinence avoids the risk of granuloma formation.

Nothing is certain except death and taxes. Or to apply these words— written by Benjamin Franklin in a 1789 letter—to advisors and their clients, nothing's certain except there will be changes to the Internal Revenue Code, including changes to estate planning.
For the third year in a row, the editors at AdvisorOne will present a month's worth of tax planning tips—there are 20 business days (when the markets are open) in March 2013—to keep you up to date on changes to the IRC. In addition, our intent is to report and write not only on the IRC, Treasury Dept. tax regs and Tax Court rulings, with a big helping hand from our colleagues at Tax Facts Online, but also to present the practices and tax planning strategies followed by your peers: a select group of bloggers and other advisors whom we've interviewed and asked to blog on the topic.
We invite you to return to this article as we update the calendar below for 20 Days of Tax Planning Advice for 2013, and to our Tax Planning Advice landing page. For your edification, the full quote from Ben Franklin was "Our Constitution is in actual operation. Everything appears to promise that it will last; but in this world nothing is certain but death and taxes." Or in the original French—Franklin was writing to a scientist friend in Paris, Jean-Baptiste Leroy—"Notre constitution nouvelle est actuellement établie, tout paraît nous promettre qu'elle sera durable; mais, dans ce monde, il n'y a rien d'assure que la mort et les impôts."

Cooper the cat doesn't mind the post-holiday mess.
Is your house a mess? Mine is.
Even though my youngest daughter is 20 years old, my post-Christmas house looks no different than it did 15 years ago when she and her sister had lots of toys. Now, we no longer have Barbie dolls and Lego pieces lying about, but we have plenty of grown-up projects waiting to be finished over our remaining vacation days.
Sorting through all of this stuff today got me thinking about how difficult it can be to share space with others without resenting the mess those "others" leave behind. I want my daughters to be able to work together on the puzzle they picked out, and I'm happy they still (mostly) enjoy each other's company, but I don't want the puzzle to still be on the kitchen table next week.
Now that my girls are grown up they are able to respect and care for the spaces we all share. I know that puzzle will be put away before I have to ask, but when they were little it was a different story. I was constantly nagging them to clean up. And the need to nag them really frustrated me. Perhaps you can relate? The most common question parents have after observing their children in our Montessori classrooms is, "I see she puts everything away when she's done using it at school. Why doesn't she do that at home?"
Children put their work away in a Montessori classroom because everything in the classroom is designed to make that an easy thing to do. For example, lockers are child-sized so the children don't need help hanging up their coats. The daily schedule is consistent, so the children are not surprised when it's time to put their work away. And, when a child's work is very important to her and she cannot finish it all today, she puts her name tag on it to remind everyone that she will be working on it first thing tomorrow morning. Also, the guidelines for the classroom are the same every day and everyone follows them (eventually) so cleaning up is just a normal part of the day.
A nametag on a child's unfinished activity shows ownership and that the child's work is valued.
If you would like to learn how to use these and other Montessori practices at home, please join us for the upcoming "Bringing Montessori Home Parent Development Course on Practical Life" on Wednesday, January 27th from 6 to 8pm. This event is open to the public so you can invite your friends and you can follow the link above to sign up online. Learn how to improve household organization by creating child-friendly spaces and nurturing your child's independence in the areas of self-care and food preparation.

In the meantime, check out these articles that offer alternatives to nagging kids to clean up. In "Here's an Idea...Don't Clean Up!" Rachel Cedar invites us to look at a child's play as his work, much as we do in our classrooms.
In "Why I Stopped Asking My Kids to Clean Up," this mom describes what happened when she stopped resenting clean-up time and allowed her kids to follow her lead.
Finally, Sandra Gordon offers sound advice for teaching children to take on different household tasks based on their age and level of ability in this post for The Children's Trust.

Children at work in the Montessori Elementary class.
October is observation month at our Montessori school. Now that the classrooms have been up and running for six weeks and the children are mostly adjusted to being away from their parents, we invite the parents to spend 15 minutes in the class just observing to see what their children's days are like. Parents are given a clipboard with an observation sheet that asks some general questions about what they see. After class, the teachers read over the observation sheets and respond to any questions or concerns the parents may have at the upcoming Parent/Teacher Conferences. Observation month is offered again in April.
Parent observations are important to the teachers because they keep us focused on our own observations. "I'm seeing that this child rarely chooses to work by himself. I wonder if his parents will see the same thing? Is that how he is at home or only at school?"
Observations are important to parents because they can serve as an informative window into a child's day. "I didn't realize she had so many friends at school. Does she ever work by herself?"
Observations are also important to the children because every child enjoys when Mom or Dad come to visit. "Mom's at MY school watching ME work??? Awesome!" Being a part of your child's day promotes good feelings and almost guarantees terrific dinner conversation.

Sign up for an observation time outside your child's classroom. We look forward to seeing all of our parents in our classrooms!
Miss Emily tries out a science experiment during the Teachers' Silent Journey and Discovery.
Have you ever wished you could experience Montessori through a child's eyes? We would like to offer you the next best thing. Please join us on Monday, September 22nd from 6:00 - 7:30 pm on the MSGL campus for the Montessori Silent Journey and Discovery. This is your opportunity to see the classrooms as your children do and to use the same materials they use to develop their bodies, minds, and spirits.
The Montessori Silent Journey and Discovery will take you on two guided tours of the school, starting as an infant and progressing through the Toddler, Preprimary, Extended Day, and Elementary classes. The first tour is silent. Your tour group will spend 5 minutes in each room looking at - but not touching - the classroom environment and the various materials. After the first tour, your guide will once again take you to each of the classrooms, but this tour will be the Discovery portion when you can use the materials, ask questions of the guides and teachers, and take part in the teachers' presentations. We will wrap up the Montessori Silent Journey and Discovery by gathering together for refreshments and discussion afterwards.
Miss Stacie presents the Squaring Chains.
We are very excited to offer this new parent education event and we highly recommend it for all new families and anyone who would like a hands-on experience in our Montessori classrooms. This is also a nice tour for grandparents and caregivers. The teachers practiced the Silent Journey and Discovery in August and really enjoyed the experience. You can read about one parent's experience with a Montessori Silent Journey and Discovery on the I Heart Montessori blog.
Childcare is available for children ages 2 and older who are currently attending MSGL or familiar with MSGL. All of our teachers will be on hand for this special evening and we look forward to seeing you there, too!
Please register for this fun event and sign up for childcare in the office or by phone by this Friday, September 19th.
What are "Indoor" Shoes?
MSGL students get to play outside every day that the weather allows. This means their shoes can get wet and muddy. To avoid tracking that dirt onto the carpet, we ask that you provide your child with one pair of shoes to wear inside the classroom. These shoes will stay at school.
Your child will probably change outdoor shoes with the seasons - from sandals to sneakers to snow boots - but indoor shoes can stay the same all year. Walking around in the classroom with bare feet is not allowed, so a comfy pair of shoes that the child enjoys wearing is a must.
Below are some good examples of indoor shoes that work well for the children. These styles of shoes keep a child's foot dry from spills, are non-slip, stay attached to the foot, and they allow the child to get them on and off by themselves.
Below are some examples of indoor shoes that DO NOT work well for the children. Slippers are not water-resistant and they can be difficult to walk in. If a child has not yet learned to tie, shoes with laces can be impossible for a child to get on and off by himself. Please save these types of shoes to wear at home.
If you want to be sure your child's belongings find their way home, you can order personalized labels for shoes, clothing, lunch boxes, and etc. online. This year, we are partnering with Mabel's Labels for a handy fundraiser. During August and September, 2015, you can buy labels and MSGL will receive a percentage of your purchase price.
Your thoughtfulness when shopping for indoor shoes will help put your child on the path to independence. Thank you!

Stay warm out there and have a terrific Wednesday!
15 years ago the Lafayette Journal and Courier announced MSGL's plans to add an elementary program and move all of its programs to a new space.
The Morton Community Center on Chauncey Avenue had been MSGL's home since 1985.
As the article states, the new elementary program was originally going to be housed in a home on Rainbow Drive that had been donated by an MSGL family. A change of plans relocated that first class to some available classroom space inside the Temple Israel on Cumberland Avenue.
In February 2001, all of our programs, from the parent-infant class through elementary, moved into our permanent home in the former Calvary Baptist church on Soldiers Home Road.
In 2007, the elementary classes moved into the Montessori House, a remodeled home adjacent to the campus.
MSGL has plans to expand once again in the near future to add a second toddler classroom and a gym/gross motor space.

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
3. How or where can I found out how methods are called and who calls them? I don't understand the relationship between "command groups", "events" and the "device category" and how they effect what GSD methods get called and by what. Could someone explain this a little more?
1. How or who calls "#756 Report Child Devices" ? I can call this manually but I would assume LinuxMCE would do this for me. My code will auto discover children, I would assume this is the right place to put it. Right now its not automatically being called.
2. On startup or reload LinuxMCE needs to know the state of lights, temps, etc.... Is this something that should be done in "#355 Process Initialize" or is there another method for reporting state? If so, again what triggers linuxmce to do this?
This can already be done either:(1) with the web orbiter(2) from a mobile orbiter on a supported cell phone.-Thom

- Thanks to Jennifer Tyrrell for this guest post. Jennifer is a Montessori teacher who worked in the Spruce Toddler class at MSGL from 2003 - 2005.
One of the arguments I hear most often when I'm describing Montessori is that the open workspace—in particular the freedom to move around, to work where you do best for a specific task, and the ability to make a snack when you like—is not properly preparing children for the realities of life or the workforce: at some point they will have to learn to stay at their desk and do their work like everyone else. I think my husband's workplace shows the opposite to be true.
My husband Jeremiah took the family to visit his "office" in Cummins's COM building. Cummins is a well-known, large, international, Fortune 500 company that makes diesel engines, and they've recently built this COM building in their Columbus, Indiana, headquarters with a "collaborative workspace" design. They have converted several spaces in other buildings to this open style, as well. With this collaborative workspace, departments are located on the same floor, as much as possible. Though employees can work wherever they like on any floor, they are encouraged to work amongst their department's floor.
He showed us his locker (hook and cubby) with a couple drawers for his personal items and work laptop (each employee is given one as their primary work tool), and a thin cabinet for his coat and outerwear. Then we walked around a huge floor with areas that have a variety of tables, some standing height, some for chairs; other areas with couches and coffee tables; other more intimate areas with armchairs and footstools (Jeremy's favorite). A couple of kitchenettes with long counters and stools (snack tables) are located centrally with no walls enclosing them. There are cabinets (shelves) that divide some places and contain files and materials for everyone to access.
There are even treadmills with laptop spaces and hookups for those who need movement as they work (they are calibrated for walking, not running . . . we walk in the workplace :) There are walls to divide the elevators and small conference rooms (which can be used and reserved by any employee), but other than those areas, there are no rooms, no "offices", no cubicles, it is all shared space: managers working amongst underlings. It looks like, well . . . a grown-up Montessori classroom :)
They are doing this to encourage collaborative problem solving and to make the workday more pleasant so that Cummins continues to retain younger employees. Please share with anyone who questions the appropriateness of Montessori's open workspace. :)
You can read a news article about more of the company's redesigned workspaces see additional photos, here.
If there truly is a flashback movie that plays in our heads just before we die, the remodeling of the MSGL buildings will certainly be a part of mine. And the sweaty people covered in dust will be in it too, smiling (mostly) like they were in these photos from the first week of demolition.
The following pictures represent some of my favorite memories of the building project because we were all so young and optimistic. We didn't truly grasp what working for six months through the winter with no electricity and no toilets and no babysitters would be like. So many parents, teachers, spouses, and extended family members gave their days off and their nights and weekends to prepare this space to be our new and improved Montessori School of Greater Lafayette. They did it for free and, most importantly, they did it with a sense of humor.
Dragging the folding partitions out of the basement.
The above photo brings to mind a particularly disheartening day. The church basement was divided up into classrooms by these heavy, orange, folding partitions. Before we could start cutting into the concrete floors and tearing out the ceilng, we had to remove all of these partitions. Did I mention that they were extremely heavy? So heavy, in fact, that we couldn't move them once we got them detached and rolled up on the floor. I recall seeing Craig Lamb, Beth Nichols, and Tony Harvey pushing on them with all of their might and they just weren't budging. The wise, manly men in our group decided to drag them out of the basement using the Bobcat. Don Harvey did just that. As Tony, project manager, recalled, "That part of the demolition was really brutal. You would go in and see what was going to beat the heck out of you that day."
Just like in a Montessori classroom, every volunteer found a niche. Some of the parents didn't want to see anything go to waste, so they took out the light fixtures and the doors and anything that might be of value and marked it for a remodeling sale we had a few weeks later.
Ellie's mom is organizing the salvaged items in the future toddler room.
One of the reasons we had such a dedicated group of volunteers is that demolition work is really fun! After a long day we could put on our grubby clothes and work gloves, grab a Wonder Bar and tear into the drywall and studs.

Beth and Cathy take out nails so we could re-use the studs.
Tools like the Sawzall made the job a lot more fun. This volunteer is standing in what is now the Willow room.

The author was concerned about lawn maintenance.
I was really worried that the lawn would grow too long and we would look like bad neighbors. This was the first and last time I mowed the entire campus with a push mower.
That week was lots of fun, but I'm glad it's done. Have a great Wednesday!

What is Montessori?
Rather than explaining what Montessori is, I am offering an excerpt from an article that does a beautiful job of describing what Montessorians do. Maria Montessori's Decalogue is a set of 10 rules for adults working in a Montessori classroom. It is relevant to parents, grandparents, and caregivers of all types who strive to relate to children peacefully and respectfully in any environment.
I hope you will enjoy this expanded version of the Montessori Decalogue as written by The Mammolina Children's Home Montessori Kindergarten in Beijing, China.
The Montessori Decalogue
1. Never touch the child unless invited by him (in some way or another).
Unless there is a very strong reason to (like avoiding an accident, for example), one should never touch a child unless a child requests it. Picking up a child without the child's consent, even if in a playful manner, or grabbing her hand, pushing her, etc., should always be avoided. If children are engaged, looking at a book, working, playing, resting, the same principle applies. Children invite contact in many ways, and parents and adults in general, who work with children, know how to interpret the signs they send. It is important also to respect a child when she is angry and does not want to be touched or picked up.
2. Never speak ill of the child in his presence or absence.
Speaking ill of a child, or making negative comments about a child, either in the child's presence or absence, denotes lack of respect for the child. It also sets a frame of mind and denotes an attitude that is negative and conducive to confrontation—and not always open! Preconceived ideas often linger as negative thoughts and breed reactive behavior. If an adult falls into this trap, it is very easy for a lack of patience and negative attitudes to creep in and damage the relationship with the child.
3. Concentrate on strengthening and helping the development of what is good in the child, so that its presence may leave less and less space for what is negative.
If adults focus on negative behavior, children will feel inadequate. This will result in low self-esteem, and a self-fulfilling prophecy like behavioral patterns will take over. Negativity will become second nature. Instead, by focusing on what is positive, the child will feel safe and confident. Children are learning what is and is not acceptable behavior can and cannot be done, etc. They do not need punishments or rewards. Simply to be shown what is and is not acceptable, by adults that model appropriate behavior.
4. Be proactive in preparing the environment, take meticulous and constant care of it. Help the child establish constructive relations with it. Show the proper place where the means of development are kept and demonstrate their proper use.
If the child is presented with a prepared environment, there is little need for much more. Again, modeling appropriate behavior is essential. A child that is shown an orderly environment will likewise feel encouraged to keep it orderly. If a child has available manipulatives she can handle, play and work with, rather than things she cannot touch, she will feel at ease to explore the world around her. If objects are at reach, that the child may break or hurt herself with, she should be shown how to handle them, rather than told "don't touch!" A kitchen is a world full of wonder for a child! Cutting, cooking, stirring, pouring, etc., are all activities the child will want—and need!—to master in order to become independent. Include the child in as many activities as possible at home, from cleaning to cooking; there is enough to keep any child busy and engaged all day long.
5. Be ever ready to answer the call of the child who stands in need of you, and always listen and respond to the child who appeals to you.
There is nothing worse for a child than to feel insecure and ignored. Abandonment is a feeling no child should have to live with. "If a child asks for attention, then that child needs attention," stressed Montessorian Margaret Homfray. When people brush a child aside and say, "she just wants attention," that person is missing the point: a child only wants attention when she needs attention. Children who feel cared for and do not have to worry about being abandoned, even if for a short time, are far more likely to care for others and show concern for and trust others, than those who experience this sort of "cold shoulder" treatment. Also, "timeout" and "go to your room and stay there" approaches are also expressions of abandonment.
6. Respect the child who makes a mistake and can then or later correct it herself, but stop firmly and immediately any misuse of the environment and any action which endangers the child, its own development or that of others.
Avoid rushing to correct mistakes a child has committed. Children are learning to cope and function. They will persist and practice to their heart's content whatever skill they need to acquire, until they master it. If a child starts throwing things around and disrespecting the environment, by all means, stop her. Yet, explain why you had to stop her. Reason and listen to what the child may have to say. Maria Montessori said that "a child's first tantrums are the first ills of her soul." There is always a reason for everything. Try to bring the reason to light. Punishing, isolating the child, etc., will only feed her pain, and burry deep those reasons—she will learn to hide rather than communicate.
7. Respect the child who takes a rest or watches others working or ponders over what she herself has done or will do. Neither call her nor force her to other forms of activity.
A child that is idle is often not idle at all… Children need to be given space to find what it is they are interested in and want to do. Once they do, they pursue their interests with unrestrained passion and perseverance! A child that is observing other children or adults is also learning. If the child is resting, she is not being lazy and doing nothing just lying there—she is most probably processing information, observing, reflecting on something she did, or saw, or is planning on doing.
8. Help those who are in search of activity and cannot find it.
Be sensitive to the needs of the child including differentiating when apparent inactivity is inner activity, or in contrast, a child is simply lost. A child in search of activity and unable to find it is usually restless. If sitting or lying down, it can be noticed that she is not "engaged;" she is not resting, but simply lost and prostrated. There is a thin line that separates these two worlds. It is the adult's responsibility to observe carefully and find out the signs—often very different from child to child—that can reveal what the child is experiencing. Abandonment differs from rest and contemplation.
9. Be untiring in repeating presentations to the child who refused them earlier, in helping the child to acquire what is not yet her own and to overcome imperfections. Do this by animating the environment, with care, with purposive restraint and silence, with mild words and loving presence. Make your ready presence felt to the child who searches and hide from the child who has found.
A child may need to be shown the right way to do something, say a word, express her feelings or acquire any sort of new skill, many, many times. One should never grow tired of repeating it, such as reading the same bedtime story or singing the same jingle. Children seek perfection in all they do until they reach a level which meets their needs (not what the adult may think "perfect" is, or means.) To be always available but not intrusive is an art. When a child needs help, she will ask for it. When a skill has been acquired and the child no longer needs assistance, adults should respect the child's new acquired or reached level of independence.
10. Always treat the child with the best of good manners and offer her the best you have in yourself and at your disposal.
Children who are respected will learn to respect others. Giving the child the best one has to give helps the child learn that you are someone she can count on, and teaches her to also give others the best she has to give. It is important the way Montessori puts it, "the best you have in yourself," as if to say, always reach higher, but do not feel dismayed if you fall short, and "the best" that you can give is not the best you think or know you should give. If your best manners are not always what they should be—a common feeling parents harbor when children seem to be pushing their patience beyond the limits, do not lose heart. The way Dr. Montessori put it, is basically this: have realistic expectations towards the child, and yourself too. Give the best you have to give, but don't feel guilty if you fall short. Simply keep striving to improve and always do your best. If you commit a mistake, giving the child your best may well be recognizing it and apologizing. "Amy, Mommy got upset and shouted. That was not nice of me. I am sorry." Children also need to recognize mistakes, learn to apologize, and that parents are not always perfect.
These are basic principles. What Montessori strives for is to protect the child from all sorts of negative influences that can create deviations in the child's spirit and psyche. To preserve the natural curiosity of the child, help her find her interests, protect her passion for learning, foster it and let it grow in a healthy way. In this way, the child can contribute her best to society. This is conducive to world peace, as Dr. Montessori envisioned it, and Montessorians believe is possible. It takes passion, it takes commitment, and it takes working together.

The light and gel cooperate to enter your teeth, separating the stains and discolouration gently.
The whitening gel is applied for 3 to 15-minute sessions for an aggregate treatment time of around an hour. Zoom can brighten teeth up to 8 shades in perfect circumstances.
The Zoom Light initiated whitening gel's dynamic fixing is Hydrogen Peroxide. Zoom whitening may be comfortable to others while to some; they are likely to experience a lot of pain.
Compared to the laser system, this process takes longer to achieve good results, and it may be more expensive as compared to other alternatives.
Crest Whitening Strips Wood Green.
Crest whitening strips are one of the top-rated whitening kits on the market right now. They are thin, flexible plastic strips with a thin flick of hydrogen peroxide bleaching on one side.
The whitening strips come in two forms: the ones for the upper teeth and the ones for the lower teeth. The process provides some extent of teeth whitening for relatively small amount of money.
The process allows you to carry on with your daily activity like eating and talking comfortably just like any other procedure recommended by dentists.
The strips are applied once a day for around 30 minutes, and after some period, you will start to see the results.
The whitening strips are highly recommended for people who suffer from moderate to severely discoloured teeth.
The method is very useful, but it may sometimes take before you achieve visible results and also the strips performance is not as good as those of laser whitening. The duration of the treatment may vary from patient to patient depending on the level of stains in their teeth.
Dentists Bleaching Trays Wood Green.
The dentists bleaching trays are made that fit over the patient's upper and lower teeth. For them to perform treatments, the user places whitening gel inside the trays and then seats them over their teeth.
The users then remain with the trays for a prescribed period often some hours per day or even overnight for some days, and it can even extend to weeks as the effects of the whitening gel are gradually felt.
The bleaching trays are inserted into the mouth and then held firmly against the teeth. The excessive gel that drops off the tray is wiped onto the gums.
This procedure is a good a way to whiten your teeth and improve yourself confidence although it takes longer to achieve visible results and also the results achieved may not be as good as those achieved through laser whitening.
To completely whiten your teeth and enhance your appearance through this method, you will need patience as it might take longer.
Whitening Toothpaste.
All toothpaste remove top stains as they have gentle grinding. Some brightening toothpaste comes with chemicals that provide extra stains removal.
Whitening toothpaste can enable expel to surface stains just and don't contain whitening gel like other whitening items that contain hydrogen peroxide that helps the shading somewhere down in the tooth.
Whitening toothpaste can help the tooth's shading by around one shade. Interestingly, other whitening items prescribed in the dentist's clinic can make your teeth up to eight shades lighter.
Whitening Rinses or mouthwash
Whitening rinses refresh breath and help reduce dental surface and gum illness. In any case, these items also involve fixings to ensure you achieve top results, by using hydrogen peroxide in some, which whiten the teeth.
Producers say it might take 12 weeks to see outcomes. You simply gargle them around in your mouth for one minute twice daily before brushing your teeth.
Mouthwashes may not be powerful as other whitening strips because of the short time they stay in the mouth.
Since a whitening rinse is just in contact with the teeth for a short time, only two minutes daily contrasted with 30 minutes for some whitening strips, it might have less of an impact compared to other whitening options.
Over-the-counter Whitening Strips and Gels.
Brightening gels are clear and contain hydrogen peroxide combined with a little brush specifically to the top of your teeth. Guidelines vary depending upon the quality of the peroxide.
Take after the bearings on the item precisely. Starting outcomes are found in a couple of days, and last outcomes are seen after around three to four months.
Whitening strips are thin, for all intents and purposes undetectable strips that are covered with a peroxide-based brightening gel.
The strips ought to be applied by the guidelines on the mark. Starting outcomes are found in a couple of days, and last outcomes are managed after around four months.
How Long Do Teeth Whitening Effects Last?
Teeth whitening does not last forever. Individuals who open their teeth to substances and refreshments that cause colouring may see the whiteness begin to blur in as early as one month after undergoing the whitening.
The individuals who maintain a simple distance from foods and drinks that stain might have the capacity to hold up to twelve months or longer before another whitening procedure is required.
In short, your dental hygiene will determine how long your whitened teeth last.
The level of whiteness will vary from person to another depending on the state of the teeth, how stained they are, and the kind of bleaching used.
The people that go for laser whitening are likely to get results that are long-term.
Excellent Service
Good Work Guys
I am a chain smoker and because of my smoking habit my teeth were turning yellow. So, to improve my look, I decided to go for Tooth Whitening Pros and the results are simply amazing.
Awesome Service
I was quite amazed to see how whitening my teeth have boosted my confidence. It took just an hour and the process was completely painless.

Satisfying Super Salad #6: Crunchy Veg Salad with Lemon-Tahini Dressing
I eat too fast. I always have. I am often the last person to sit down at the table and the first to get up. It's not that I don't enjoy eating -- I love to eat. I have tried many slow down techniques such as putting my fork down between mouthfuls, cutting my food into smaller pieces than is necessary for an adult, and chewing each bite 20 times. I can tell you, they don't work.
The only thing that is guaranteed to slow me down is today's Crunchy Veg Salad with Lemon-Tahini Dressing. Chock full of crunchy vegetables, I challenge anyone to eat this salad in fewer than 20 minutes (unless you have uncommonly large molars and Olympic muscles of mastication, in which case it may take about 17).
Chewing isn't the only thing that will keep you full though. This salad is packed with high fiber ingredients such as chickpeas, apples, and raisins. It's flavored with sesame tahini (sesame paste) that is high in both nutritious minerals and polyunsaturated fat, which is considered a "heart healthy" type of fat.
Though there are many brands of tahini available at both Middle Eastern markets and supermarkets, my personal favorite is Joyva Sesame Tahini. It's ultra thick and creamy with a pleasing smoky sesame flavor. Just remember that tahini paste will naturally harden on the bottom, so it's important to stir it well before using.
Then get ready to slowly savor this super salad.
Crunchy Veg Salad with Lemon-Tahini Dressing
Serves 4
Print recipe only here.
1 large head romaine lettuce, sliced crosswise
1 large carrot, sliced on the diagonal

1/2 cucumber, seeds removed, and sliced into half moons
3/4 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Healthy, delicious and very filling by the looks of it Susan...it looks so fresh and that tahini would just add the most amazing flavour.

My husband is a super-speedy eater, too, and I'm always trying to get him to slow down. Will try this crunchy salad, also because it looks delicious and is just the type of thing I love for dinner in late summer. Joyva is my brand of choice for tahini, too.

Have you ever tried eating with your non-dominant hand? I had heard that was a slow-down technique also... so I tried it, but loved eating with my left-hand so much that now it works as well as my right! So much for that! BTW - I should know better than to check your blog close to lunchtime!! As always, this salad looks amazing and maybe I'll use the left-over tahini paste for some homemade hummus!

I think you and I should have a contest! I eat waaay too fast, compounded by the usually small servings I eat and my super-strong teeth!
The salad looks superb-- my eye just dances around the crunchy vegetables, especially the apple in the creamy dressing-- gorgeous.

I love tahini (I call it tehina, like they do in Israel). I just made some cookies with the paste...yum!
I'm a slow eater by the way, I'm usually the last to finish ;) except with dessert, I can eat that very quickly :)

"Olympic muscles of mastication" - LOL!
I consciously try to chew too, so that it will slow me down and make me eat less - it works only when I'm not watching TV and trying to read a book at the same time.

I used to eat really really slow... Just opposite of you Susan... The first to sit at the table, and even later than the latest person to finish :)))) But Feridun (my bf) changed this good habbit of mine in time. Because he eats like how you do, and silly me, I tried to accompany him. Now I2m rather a fast eater as well. (And unfortunatelly unwanted weight came with that on me :'( )
And!!! Only thing I can say about the salad is OMG!!!! Ooohh my God!!!

This does look delicious and crunchy and satisfying. Here it is 8:30 at night and I'm craving your salad. I guess I didn't eat much dinner. Either that or your picture is just drawing me in!

When we were dating long distance style, my husband came to visit to meet my parents and my dad handed B. a time worn and stained cue card that read "eat slowly" (in French "mange lentement and told him to put it in front of my water glass at dinner....it had been placed in front of me regularly since I was a kid. True story! He still pulls it out from time to time! I could see myself inhaling this wonderful salad but I would make an exception for you and savor it slowly! Wonderful dressing!

- Lori Lynn said...
I really like the dressing recipe. Big fan of tahini.
- August 30, 2008 at 7:25 PM
I am the exact same way, Susan. I eat too fast. I think it is because when I used to waitress we would have like a ten minute lunch break and would have to scarf our food down if we wanted to eat.
My best friend is a very, very slow eater. I always feel like such a cow when we go out to eat together!
I always love your salad recipes. This one is now exception. Looks wonderful!

I really liked this salad and have bookmarked this.
I'm a fast eater too, and who knows, though I don't have the qualifications you have listed, I might just finish it in under 20 minutes!
In fact, my husband's standard joke is that if people see me eating, they might think I'm finishing my share quickly to ensure he doesn't get it!!:)

Dear Miss Snark, I'm critiquing chapters in a mainstream novel where the MC sustains an injury that's quite serious and extremely painful. He's alone and can't get help. The author then has the MC do things which aren't physically possible according to a check of some medical sites. The novel is billed as mainstream, not science fiction, fantasy, or James Bond type thriller. I think the novel is fatally flawed, and will probably remain so for me, but is it really in terms of being published? The sad thing is, I like this person's style.
Well, it wouldn't work for me. I have a disgustingly literal and practical mind. This manifests itself in all sorts of useful ways for my clients. Some of them actually keep the pictures I've drawn of why something is physically impossible. (Get your mind out out out of that gutter..and you too!).
That said, a good writer can make me believe boys can fly, anything is possible, and the dead can speak. When you start reaching for the medical textbooks cause you don't believe...it's too late.

Low Fat Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies Recipe
Chewy, moist oatmeal cookies loaded with chocolate chips, in a reduced fat cookie? These cookies are fabulous and they are loaded with chocolate chips in every bite!
Don't you hate when you make a low fat cookie recipe, only to be disappointed? These will become a favorite in your home, give them a try and tell me know you think. Try them first as is, then have fun coming up with variations.
As noted on Baking Bits, it's crucial not to over-bake these if you want them chewy. The applesauce makes them moist and if overcooked they will become dry so if you're not sure if your oven runs hot it's probably best to take them out a minute earlier.
I made the serving size 2 cookies, because I can bet you won't eat just one!
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup unpacked brown sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups quick oats
3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350°; line two baking sheets with parchment paper or use a silpat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. In a large bowl, with a mixer, cream together the butter and the sugars on medium speed.
Add the egg, followed by the applesauce and vanilla extract.
Working by hand, stir in the flour mixture and the oats until just combined and no streaks of flour remain; stir in the chocolate chips.
Drop heaping tablespoonfuls (approx 1 tbsp each) of the dough onto prepared baking sheets, flattening each cookie slightly (I forgot to do this). Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until cookies become light brown at the edges.
Let cool on baking sheet for 3 or 4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container so you don't eat them all in one sitting!
Makes about 30 cookies roughly 1 tbsp each.
Splenda Lovers: Substitute all the brown sugar with 1/4 cup Splenda brown sugar blend, and all the white sugar for 1/4 cup Splenda sugar blend. Points remain the same.
