The two brothers (a Jewish story) A long time ago there were two brothers, both working in the fields during the day; and in the evening they would divide the grain evenly between them. One brother was married, with a wife and several children. The other brother, he was not married at all. More Aug 28, 2011 - 11:24 AM |

Five important points to consider (and understand) before (and after) getting a dog They are our best friends. They are always there when we need them. They give all their love and loyalty, play around and bring joy to their owners’ lives. Yet, as tempting as it may sound, befriending a dog for a personal companion is not for everyone and it should be done only after careful consideration, both for yours and the dog’s sake. Here are five important points that every dog owner-to-be should review and understand before heading to the nearest pet store, shelter or professional breeder and finding their future best friend.

Home.EDU A closer look at the lifestyle of home schooling I was interviewing Ann Zeise, a California expert, on the pros and cons of home schooling when she said the thing she hated most were the stupid questions from people like me. Defensive? You bet. A common theme. But when you begin to understand how the whole thing works – and many say it does – you get why home schooling parents get so angry when the world thinks of them as a bunch of religious fanatics who shelter their children in underground bunkers and never let them out into the light of day. On the contrary, as they are adamant to point out, home-schooled kids have lots of friends, they play sports, they sing in choirs, they even march in parades. They just don’t go to “regular” school. And some of them even go on to college at 10 or 11. More Sep 3, 2009 - 10:59 PM |

Back to Cool this new school year This fall children are going back to school with styles that bring back the spirit of the 80s (with a few updated additions to the trends…). The accent this year stresses on layers for both boys and girls. Create that vintage look by combining your favorite type of jeans (skinny or distressed jeans are the choice of many fashionistas) with a nice top and a suitable cardigan. Accessories are very important! Scarves, hats, even fingerless gloves are a must for the trendy student. Popular Disney characters are seen on earrings, bracelets and necklaces for girls. And for the more grown-up children, there is a fine choice of big bangle bracelets to reflect that 80s look, combined with earrings of the same style. Stripes, checkers and different prints are seen in all clothing and could be perfectly combined with accessories having the same pattern. Graphic tees, punk prints and neon looks all carry the ultimate autumn breeze of fashion for students of all ages. More Sep 3, 2009 - 10:58 PM |

Historical elegance The freshly reopened Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum brings class and sophistication bathed in history It may not have a plazma TV. Or an indoor basketball court (although it does have a bowling alley in the basement). But its walls are laced with hand-painted flowers, its bathroom sinks inlaid with glazed porcelain, its ceilings sprayed with flowers delicately outlined in wrought iron, and was one of the first homes in the country to have hot and cold running water and – miraculous in those days – flush toilets. Seven of them. If you bought this home today, it would go for close to $100 million. Its massive wooden hand-carved staircase alone would cost a couple of million. More Jun 1, 2009 - 8:58 PM |

And they’re off! The unofficial start of the campaign season in Stamford is still months away. But, one thing about this year’s mayoral race is certain. Unless the incumbent, Dannel P. Malloy, does an unlikely about-face and abandons his ambition to become the next Governor of the state of Connecticut, someone else will be elected mayor of Stamford this coming November.
