Ainhoa Pérez found a typo that was keeping people from getting to the third transcript Katherine Anderson did.

The portal is restored. And the reason it came up is that Ainhoa is in Spain and is working with a friend on a translation of those transcripts.
I'm at the campground where families from France and Switzerland are gathering for three days of hanging out with two presentations every afternoon. It's raining. I'm staying with the organizer, Claire Darbaud, and her children in a two-bedroom cabin with a kitchen, living room and big porch with another table and chairs. It's all made of plastic, has sliding doors, lots of shelves and storage, comes with dishes... very cool. I'll put photos on my blog at some point.
Photos and reports of my travels so far are here:

#3 you can order directly from Amazon (without shipping, if you have an Amazon Prime account).

Just Add Light and Stir has over 1000 e-mail subscribers not, and over 400 by other blog-notification means.
My daughter Holly created a facebook page for Just Add Light, after I used one of her friends' photos (David Jio)
and yesterday I used one by her boyfriend.
The facebook page is here:

Something new, about yoga at work, and parenting is work!! (Work you can't well leave, so the info can be very useful, right away.)

Socialization, new link to an outside blog, upper lefthand photo (in the "all photos are links" section)
and I put something short there (top) from a talk I gave.

Cake (new cake by Marin Holmes, first in the lefthand column)
The page is about what cakes represent, and the juju of cake sacrifice, but the art is just FUN!

Addition to being your child's partner, a quote of Schuyler Waynforth, which quotes Pam Sorooshian and links to something she wrote. (The new material is the second item on the page.)

There is a page for Portuguese translations. At the moment it has five "Just Add Light and Stir" entries, but there is a translation of an interview in its final editing stages, and that will be added when it's ready.
http://sandradodd.com/portuguese/
Marta Pires is the translator, and also the organizer of a gathering in Lisbon a year from now at which Joyce Fetteroll and I will speak and also, I hope, Alex Polikowsky (who lives in Minnesota but grew up in Brazil)
Alex wrote something this week that I've saved, too, to help when people think unschooling is doing nothing. It's the theme of recent days, and she has said it quite strongly.

This page is NOT finished, but Schuyler wrote something worth reading all by itself, and I can add to it later.
