So you're running the busted tire on the rear? Your casing failure must not have been too severe. My three incidents have rendered the tire unrideable. Plus, I wouldn't trust the tire any longer.
Eat. Ride. Sleep. Repeat
So strange - your experience of pushing hard through a turn is the same as mine. I wish there was an official response from Continental.
I am ordering a pair of Bontrager SE4s to replace my Contis. 26 x 2.3 Team Ish.
The back tire was trashed so I moved the front tire, also a 2.4 tk, to the back to replace it. I then bought a new tire for the front.
Very annoying to say the least, especially for a spendy tire.
Stick with the made in Germany black chili tires. I have a set of RK Super sonic 2.2 that I use in the winter months. Get lots of miles from them if you stay off the pavement.
Fun tires really, they tend to drift in the corners but always seem to hook up just in time. ; )

If you are running standard versions without inner tubes the failures are not quality issues. You are using them in a manner they were not designed for.
I just checked my 2.4 X-Kings. They say, "Made in Germany". I set them up Ghetto with Caffe Latex. They actually sealed up with a compressor before I put any sealant in. Although, I do paint the inside of the tube with sealant before I put the tire on. The tire holds air well, but the sidewall does seem pretty porous. There's always some wet sealant on the outside of the tire. But, I have had no problems with the tires yet.
Hmm...I have two newish Mountain King 2 ....2.4's that wobble like crazy. They're Protection BlkChilli.
Can you see the failure when you take the tire off and inspect it?

In my case, there was no visible evidence of the failure. However, the location of my wobble was aligned with the casing "seam" (there is a diagonal overlapping carcass structure at one point that you can see inside). Maybe this is coincidence, or maybe the origin of these failures is some shifting of the carcass layers at this point.
At any rate, its defective. I've lived through 3 of these. All Protection Black Chili, both MK and TK. The TK installed fine, but exhibited a terrible wobble after a hard g-out. The two MKs were badly wobbling on install. Conti sent me warrant replacements for all of them.
BTW, for anyone having trouble getting these tires to hold air (ie they are bleeding through the sidewall), I had a horrendous experience with that. The solution (buried deep in the Conti website) is to use a bit of sealant and a brush and scrub the inside of the tire before you put it on the rim. The mold release residue on the Conti's is really heavy, the scrubbing cleans much of it off, and the sealant can get a grip. My tires held air great after that.
Thanks for the reply........LBS is going to send mine to the Conti Rep and try to get me a refund. I can't bring myself to buy them again....two tires warping in 5 rides...not good. Giving Schwalbes a try.

Can confirm, ran tubeless, big bubble, blah. Switched to Maxxis tires, no more problems.

RICHBURG, S.C. (AP) - Researchers have used 105 giant fans to create hurricane-force winds in an experiment that crumpled an ordinary home in minutes but left a better-built home standing.
Engineers say the experiment carried out inside the Insurance Center for Building Safety in a rural area of South Carolina illustrates why fortified building materials and methods are better than those of conventional homes.
The cavernous center was built by insurance companies in an
attempt to find ways to reduce damages and losses arising from
natural disasters.
The conventional house took minutes to collapse in 96-mph winds.
Chief engineer Tim Reinhold says the stronger house cost about
$5,000 more to build.
It suffered only cosmetic damage in the same winds.

As part of its work in the United Arab Emirates, the ABA Rule of Law Initiative (ABA ROLI) conducted an October 2012 training on legal ethics for more than 20 government lawyers from the Emirate of Dubai. ABA ROLI Legal Specialist Keith Thomas led the training attended by lawyers from several government departments. Topics included international legal ethics standards, differences in the civil and common law traditions, fundamentals of legal ethics, client confidentiality and conflicts of interest, enforcement, and other topics.
ABA ROLI is also in discussions with the Dubai Legal Affairs Department about the possibility of drafting a code of ethics for all Dubai lawyers, including the drafting process and what topics might be covered under the code. Other elements, such as enforcement and disciplinary measures for non-compliance were also discussed.

I have very complicated mergefields in Word 2010, thus I would like to print out what I coded already to analyze it.
However, I cannot copy and paste the pure code, because it always converts to output. I neither found any option to print out the mergefields - NOT the result, but the original fields.
Example of code that I want to print or copy:
{ IF { MERGESEQ } = 1 "x" "y"}
How to do so?

Tuesday night's toga party at Forsyth Barr Stadium has been
hailed as a roaring success, with student behaviour singled
out for praise by both the University of Otago and OUSA.
Otago University director of student services David
Richardson said the night was a ''highlight of O Week''.
''A good time was had by all and we are very pleased it went
so well. We continue to strongly encourage students to have a
good time, but to also keep safe and behave respectfully
towards everyone in the Dunedin community,'' Mr Richardson
He was also keen to point out that the people arrested at a
Castle St party on Tuesday night were not Otago students.
Otago University Students' Association communications
co-ordinator Alasdair Johnston said the night was a ''great
''We had a great turnout and the night ran smoothly. It was a
great start to our music events for the week,'' he said.
As far as he knew, no students had been ejected from the
event and only a small number were taken home by OUSA's ''Are
You OK?'' team.
Police officers at the event had also praised it for being
well run, he said.
He said the entertainment on offer was lapped up by the about
2700 students who went along.
''We had the Dunedin O-Taiko Drummers open the event and
[they] were a huge crowd-pleaser, then DJ's Swaren Veygal and
50Cal played a fantastic set for the crowd.
''Backing up the music, we had visual effects including
flame, confetti and CO2 cannons as well as laser lights, a
big screen for the crowd and beach balls,'' he said.
A small number of students who had not redeemed their tickets
for wrist bands at the OUSA office - as they had been advised
to do - were delayed from entering the stadium.

I have a simple question (working with Java). I have two classes, one represents a Document, a second represents a Word.
The Document class needs to know some info about the words that is kept in Word. My question is, what's the best way to decouple the two classes? I have 2 options in mind:
Have no connection between the classes, and each time I call a method in Document, I pass it an object of Word (so I have a third class with a main method that initiates both Document and Word).
Declare a private object of Word inside Document.
One thing to note, I only have one object for Word and one for Document. I don't create a new object for every new document or word. I store a list of the entire documents in Document, and a list pf the entire words in Word.

The only modern-day Aston Martin rarer than the £1.15million One-77 hypercar, is the stunning V12 Vantage Zagato.
Just 101 will be made – at a cost of £396,000 each. Mechanically unchanged from the standard V12 Vantage, it packs 510bhp and will hit 62mph in 4.2 seconds.
These figures are nothing special sat next to the likes of the Ferrari 458, Mercedes SLS AMG or McLaren 12C but when you see this car in the flesh, it all starts to make sense.
The carbon fibre trim, unique stitching and fixed rear wing set it apart from the standard car – and that's without mentioning the signature grille and bulbous rear end.
News editor, Jack Rix, has been to Aston HQ to find out whether the V12 Vantage Zagato offers a driving experience to justify its price tag, or if it's nothing more than a pricey bodykit. Click the video to find out.

I thought I'd share my most recent home screen on my Galaxy Nexus. The wallpaper is called PlanetScapes, and is one of the most interesting live wallpapers I've used. The widget in the middle is from the 1Weather app...also the most attractive and useful weather app I've used. My only gripe with 1Weather is the color of the temp indicator int he widget...a weird brown. It works well with the wallpaper I have there, but otherwise seems out of place.
Around the 1Weather widget, I've organized my most used apps in folders by activity. The read folder contains Google Reader, Currents, and Books. The chat folder contains Google Talk, Voice, and Chomp SMS. Share contains G+, Tweetdeck, and Facebook, though I think I'm going to get rid of the Facebook app since I don't ever post anything on Facebook. And so on.
Next to the dialer app, I have a Productivity type folder, containing Gmail, Calendar, and Wallet. I keep maps and my browser (Chrome, as of yesterday) handy in the dock since I want easy access to them always.
Unseen here, is that I use Widgetsoid to put custom power and switching controls in my notification pulldown, a la MIUI, or Cyanogenmod. Absolutely indispensable. It keeps those controls always handy without having to be swiping home screens back and forth.
I do miss some things about LauncherPro and/or MIUI. Notably, I would love the ability to put more apps in the dock, or the ability to doubletap the home button to access the app drawer so that I could free up another space on the dock. I also miss the gesture option for dock icons that is found in LauncherPro, as well as the slick animations when swiping between homescreens.
Overall, I wouldn't trade this for anything else at the moment. ICS is a massive improvement over Gingerbread and all other previous versions. After updating to 4.0.4 yesterday, many of the gripes I had with ICS were addressed. Most notably the responsiveness of autorotation, how quickly the camera app is accessed, and I've heard, though not yet experienced it, improved battery life and signal reception.
let me know if you have questions...cheers.

I'm trying to ping my linux machines by host name and the pings are failing (can ping by ip just fine).
I then logged into the router which is the DNS server and see that the router sees the linux machines as "new-host1" "new-host2" etc...it's not getting their host names properly.
I can instead ping new-host1 successfully.
cat /etc/hostname
says the pc name is pc1
so why is the router seeing a diff name and how do i fix it? I rather not add the ip to the hosts file.

By Pfc. Dan RangelJanuary 24, 2011
CAMP ARIFJAN, Kuwait (Army News Service, Jan. 24, 2011) -- The Army launched a new physical fitness program in 2003 for basic-training units at Fort Bliss, Texas, and that program is now rolling out across the Army to better prepare Soldiers for combat.
While newer Soldiers are unlikely to notice any changes, because many of the drills have been present in training for the past few years, the more seasoned Third Army Soldiers at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, noticed the new emphasis on the full-body workout, as they began their session before reveille on Jan. 13.
"Trainees did this PT program, but then the Army slowly filtered it out to all the bigger units," said Master Sgt. Jerry Mike, a Third Army Special Troops Battalion operations noncommissioned officer-in-charge.
Mike advises other NCOs to take the time to implement and learn the new Army PRT.
"This is not something you're going to learn in one day. This is going to take at least a week or two for you to get into the swing of things," he said.
The Army is implementing the plan to both limit injuries and increase readiness, Mike said, as he gave an example of one of the drills.
"During the 300-yard shuttle run, Soldiers must run to one end of the field and touch the ground with their left hand, then come back and touch the ground with their right hand. In combat, if you tell a Soldier to run toward a building 300 yards away, get ammo and come back, that Soldier knows it will be easy because they've done this in the PT program. It's muscle memory," Mike said.
Soldiers will also find the new program is designed to improve their PT scores, he said.
"There's a lot of stuff in the program that helps you with your running. You've got a lot of sprinting. It's been proven that sprinting helps with running longer routes, such as the two-mile and four-mile runs. You're also going to see a lot of core exercises. All the new fitness magazines focus on the core and that's what the Army has turned toward," Mike said.
Third Army Soldiers shared what motivates them to do their best with the new program.
"It's the start of a new year, we we're throwing all the old stuff out and starting a new set of exercises," said Master Sgt. Donna Swan, a Third Army logistics noncommissioned officer, who also expressed how vigorous the new program can be.
"I think you work more of your muscles. When you perform the exercise, you really feel it," Swan said.
Army leaders who also want to implement the program can refer to Army Training Circular TC 3-22.20 for more information.

NEW YORK - A subtle realignment this fall in the nation's inscrutable tangle of phone systems could cause a surprising increase in what some consumers pay to call cell phones from traditional landlines.
The change, rooted in the different ways landline and wireless phone networks are laid out, means some calls to cell phones that were once considered local now incur higher toll charges.
For most people, the increases will be negligible. Verizon Inc., the largest regional phone company, estimates that in the 33 million households it serves, the average bill will rise pennies per month.
Even so, Verizon warned customers about the new policy in an insert with September phone bills and acknowledged that some people's monthly charges could jump $10 or $20 unless they change their calling habits.
The billing change doesn't appear to have caused serious trouble where it already has been in effect, mainly in the West and Midwest.
"I'm not aware that this is an issue that we get a lot of consumer complaints on," said Federal Communications Commission spokeswoman Meribeth McCarrick.
Why is this happening? Area codes are divided into "rate centers" with their own number prefixes. Calls to nearby rate centers are considered local, while those to further rate centers generate intra-state or regional toll prices. Calls between more spread-out points count as long-distance.
Because of differences in how wireless networks are set up, wireless carriers don't need to get phone numbers in every local rate center. So your cell phone could have a number from a rate center distant from your home.
For such customers, a call from home to their cell phone could incur per-minute toll charges.
To stimulate use of mobile phones, wireless carriers years ago got landline companies to treat such calls as local. Wireless carriers reimbursed landline companies for the lost toll revenue - a process known as reverse billing or wide-area calling.
The final blow to reverse-billing should come next year as consumers get "number portability," the right to keep their mobile numbers if they switch carriers.
Michael Altschul, general counsel for the cell-phone industry group, said local phone companies asked regulators in several states to let them kill reverse billing.
That forced wireless companies to establish their own connections in local rate centers by leasing costly equipment and space from landline companies, he said.
All nine states where BellSouth Corp. is the local phone provider got rid of the old billing system by Oct. 1, spokesman Jeff Battcher said.
In the 14 states served by Qwest Communications International Inc., the change is scheduled to take effect in November, though Qwest is working on ways to extend the old system wherever possible, spokeswoman Carey Brandt said.
Many SBC Communications Inc. customers experienced the change several years ago. People in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas will begin to see it this fall, SBC spokesman Kevin Belgrade said.

DS is 6 and it seems like he is just so LAZY. I have to fight with him all the time to get him to do anything at all. When it's time to eat, he'll take one bite, set his fork down, and not pick it up again until I remind him, sometimes repeatedly, to take another bite. Meals have been known to take upwards of an hour, but he FREAKS if you take his food away, even if you give him time limits and repeated warnings. When he's done with something, he just drops it wherever he's standing and wanders off. If there was a sock in the floor and I told him to pick it up, he'd literally look right at it and say he doesn't see it (that's a common thing with him - we can't ask him to get or look at anything because he'll claim not to see it). If I told him to walk to the front door, he'd turn around and walk the opposite direction and claim he misunderstood.
When we try to do homeschooling, if he doesn't feel like doing something (which is basically always) he'll pretty much refuse to do it and say he doesn't know how. Today, he spelled the word tree several times, then started saying "I forget" when it would come up. I'd think it was because he's bored, but a lot of times, he'll do it from the start because he doesn't want to do school in the first place. Things I've seen him do a million times he won't do and claim he doesn't remember how. I can't move forward and teach him new things because I have no idea what he can actually do and what he needs more help with because he claims he can't do ANYTHING! If we read something to him or show him a video, he seems like he's listening, but he can never answer any questions about it after or even tell us what the subject was. It's like he totally spaces out because he knows it's school. DH wants to send him to public school next year because we're tired of fighting with him to finish a single lesson, just to be back at square one the next day. I don't know that he'll be any better in school and I think he'll end up in remedial stuff, just because he won't do anything even if he is capable of it.
Life is a constant battle with him! Unless he's playing by himself or playing video games, it's a fight. I feel like he's just trying to be difficult all the time. Everything I try to get him to do he'll do the opposite or claim he can't, then argue with me about it. I'm at the end of my rope with this kid!

Have you read anything about unschooling? It's pretty great philosophically, and as a teacher it basically undermines my entire profession, but it's actually amazing. It might be right up his alley and at the very least unblock his mental wall to schooling.
There is a forum here on it I think, or at the very least a LOT of mamas who follow this way of thinking on the homeschooling boards.
He also may be physically in need of more protein or something. DS needs, but really NEEDS a protein packed breakfast and snack to be focused and energetic all day. He also makes better choices about food the rest of the day, craving fruit and nuts over cookies and chips.
Just a thought. Have you mentioned it his doctor?
I agree about mentioning it to his doctor. It sounds more extreme than just laziness. Have you thought about ADHD? It doesn't always involve hyperactivity--there's inattentive type too. Also, many people with gluten intolerance describe pretty extreme brain fog that clears up when the gluten is eliminated. How is he sleeping?
ETA that I forgot to say that people with ADHD can focus on things they find stimulating enough, so the ability to focus on gaming or self-involved play doesn't necessarily rule it out.

We don't do well-child visits, plus we just moved, so I don't really have anyone to take him to at the moment. I guess tomorrow I'll start calling around to pediatricians. He fights sleep like crazy some nights, but most nights lays right down. He used to give us a LOT more grief about sleeping. Once he's out he sleeps like the dead.
He also talks nonstop, especially when he's watching something. Like yesterday we were watching Tangled. He would not stop talking and asking questions and I kept having to rewind just to hear what was going on. I kept reminding him that I didn't know, I'd never see the movie, and if he'd stop talking for two seconds he'd know what was going on since he's missing so much that he's talking over. I could tell him to his face to stop talking and he would just take a deep breath and keep going. Or talk under his breath. Or sing. Or whatever.
ETA: The reason I feel like he's just lazy sometimes is when he will look right at something and pretend not to see it rather than bring it to me or pick it up or whatever. And he'll say he doesn't know how to do his work when I know perfectly well he can because I've seen him do it. Or he'll guess at what he thinks the next word in a sentence is so he doesn't actually have to make the effort to read the word.

He could be having petit mal seizures. They often appear like a child is just "spacing out" for a few seconds. He really needs to see a doctor.
He doesn't space out at all. He is always responding when I talk, just insisting he doesn't know the answers or he can't see whatever.
Loving wife of my gamer boy Michael. Blog link in my profile!
Absence seizures can happen in a matter of seconds. You said he does things like read a word a few times and then suddenly can't read it. Things like that could be a sign. However, it does sound more to me like an ADHD thing. I can walk into a room, do a few things, then walk away. When I come back, I find that I've left food sitting on the counter and every cabinet I touched open. My DD5, who hasn't been diagnosed but whom I strongly suspect has a mild version, has told me in the past that she "feels like a ghost," like the things I say (instructions I give her) pass right through her. She'll stand in the middle of a messy room and tell me it's clean.
Take him to a doctor, and in the meantime, be patient with him and try and help him cope.

Absence seizures can be just for a couple of seconds, but can happen up to 50 times a day. This often leads to kids missing crucial little bits of information, and appearing to have learning difficulties or trouble following directions.
It's just a thought. No matter what, though, I have trouble writing off a 6 year old as just being "lazy" without a medical evaluation.
Just to pick up on this example (I know it's not the whole picture) but actually this is a very normal way for 6 year olds to start learning how to read. In fact most adults read this way, too, (by guessing the next word before they read it) and it is how we acquire lexical groupings. It's a perfectly normal part of complex language acquisition and should be encouraged. That one is not laziness; it is developmentally normative. ETA: it is also normal for them to be able to read a word five or six times and then not. I don't know why, but learning to read is not easy, and like learning a new language you can know a word and use it 15 -30 times before you actually internalize it.
DS sometimes says he can't see things right in front of him, too. Boys see the world differently (typically) and actually do not always see details (like a sock in the middle of a room) because they are absorbing all the other things in the room at the same time...just saying.
Medical evaluation is a good starting point here.
I also think your husband has a point about school. Sometimes kids and parents get into power struggles that get in the way of learning. While I wouldn't necessarily use the word lazy, your son does sound kind of oppositional. Sending him to school might help. At the very least, then you would have more people to share the load of educating your son.
It sounds like there are a lot of power struggles going on. I suggest finding ways to take yourself out of the picture. My dd takes an hour to eat because she is just a naturally slow eater. It drives me crazy, but that is the way she is and nagging her to eat bites or take normal bites just builds up my anger. I found that by not engaging in any conversation and just letting her take her time while I went off to do other things I actually helped my dd speed up more once she realized I wasn't going back to the old nagging way. I also found that when I started eating the dessert without waiting for her after half an hour she would finish her food within five minutes and be ready for ice cream. It isn't something that happened overnight because we were both used to the negative attention she got from this, but it happened. When I was homeschooling her we got into the same negative cycle with work so I did the same thing with her work, I made sure she knew how to do the work then I left and let her do it with the knowledge that it needed to get done before she went played with her toys. The first few days it took her an hour to do each task but when I took the battle out of the problem she started doing the work in 15 to 30 minutes without complaining about the work.
There may be something else going on, but for my dd a power struggle with anything is enough to make her slow down or go into refusal mode. When I take myself out of the struggle and just set up basic guidelines without nagging her towards them she actually meets them faster and more willingly than she does if I am in her face reminding her constantly of the task at hand.
ADHD? Central auditory processing disorder? Some other kind of processing disorder? I'd find a a doctor and have him assessed. My youngest son has ADHD. Sometimes he will not stopped talking. He misses huge chunks of information simply because he's watching a bee outside the window and he is hyper focused on that while I'm trying to talk about his lesson. If we hadn't know early on that he had ADHD and learned to different ways to cope with him, our lives would be hell. He doesn't respond to me like my other kids. He can be the sweetest, gentlest, and kindest of my kids, but he is also the hardest to deal with day in and day out. We home school, but it only works because we have the tools to deal with him. Get some help, it doesn't sound like it is working for any of you.
I strongly recommend the books "The Myth of Laziness" and "A Mind at a Time" by Mel Levine. (I'd probably start with A Mind at a Time.) Learning differences/disorders can seem like laziness. It's a vicious circle actually, because the child gets frustrated, gives up, doesn't try, and then truly looks lazy. If he really is processing things differently, or has attention issues, or trouble sequencing, or poor auditory memory skills or any of a host of other issues, then he needs different teaching strategies. What you're doing isn't working and so it's time for outside help.
So, I would recommend that you do have him assessed as soon as you can find someone, just to help you understand him better. Once you know what's going on, you can figure out if continuing to homeschool is best, or whether he'd better better off in school, or with a tutor, or being unschooled. My kids thrive in school, and I'd be a lousy homeschooler. I've got a good friend with 2 special needs kids who does an amazing job homeschooling them. I'd be hesitant to unschool until you figured out whether he's got some processing issues going on. His inability to find things, or his tendency to space out while eating for example, strikes me as not typical. (Does he have low muscle tone?)
Until then, I'd echo the others: When he's eating, eat your meal, and then go do your thing. If he's still at the table not eating and it takes him an hour, oh well. For schooling, I'd try dividing things into smaller 'chunks' throughout the day and see if you can do it that way. Before you sit down to do schooling, can he do some good 'heavy' work, like jumping on a trampoline (or off the couch) and carrying some heavy things? It might help him focus better.
I can't seem to stop thinking about this thread. The word Lazy is so loaded. I know you don't mean it that way, but it is full of connotations that are, especially in the societies of the Global North, considered socially unacceptable and deviant.
He really doesn't seem to be that different than any other six year old I know, especially one with a father who is, as your sig points out, a gamer. I wouldn't be too quick to slap any labels on him. I might take him for a physio-therapist exam to see how he might be able to (in an ENJOYABLE way) improve his gross and fine motor skills (my DS needs help with these too, but his Gran is an occupational therapist and has given us some great strategies that feel too much like play for DS to realize he is developing any skills, within weeks he was right where his teachers thought he shouold be), but I'd be very wary of fishing for a diagnosis which doctors, especially in the States, are all too happy to dole out. I'd be particularly careful of diagnoses that imply heavily medicating a still growing child with psychotropic drugs. There is nothing you have described, Minkajane, that seems particularly odd or abnormal to me. I know it is hard to get inside the mind of a six year old boy, but as a teacher I have read quite a lot about childhood devlopment, and both physically and educationally your son does NOT sound off the scale of normal.
Kids take a long time to eat. My DS usually takes about an hour to eat his dinner, and he takes breaks in the middle to hug people, to tell a story. Actually when you think about it. it's not only MUCH healthier to eat this way, it is also a very nice time to bond, to s l o w d o w n and talk to your kids about thier day. We used to fight it, now we embrace it and realize it's one of the best times of the day...we just have to be careful to build in the time...I typically get home and start dinner immediately, or ask our housekeeper or DH to throw some stuff in a crockpot for me. It's not to say we never get annoyed but that is MY issue, not his.
Kids space out. Their brains (like their tummies) need more time to disgest information and at this age? They are absorbing information lightening fast and so every now and then they drop out to process. It's totally normal. Most first grade teachers I know build processing time into their daily schedules because kids this age NEED this time to just be quiet and think. FWIW, it is during these moments that DS comes up with some of his most ingeneous ideas. He's not being lazy, he's being reflective. Even if you ask him what he's thinking and he says "nothing" what that really means is EVERYTHING.
Kids do talk incessantly when they are excited about something. Almost every child I know does this, and it is SO frustrating. But they will calm down eventually. And you can't tell me you seriously cared about the movie Tangled (if you did, perhaps try watching it alone first, and then with him -- I do this when I actually want to see the film). It's a kids film. The whole point of you watching a kids film (correct me if I'm wrong) is to BOND with your kid, not to watch a film. Really. It's to share a moment and build a memory, no? So, as gently as I can, I am suggesting you chill out a little and enjoy the talking. He's opening up to you. Let him.
The spotting stuff on the floor is also SUPER irritating, but as far as I can tell, normal, and boys are particularly bad at spotting details (they have more frenetic energy than girls as a general rule) and they see the world from a very different perspective. It's one of the reasons their art work tends to be (and obviously this gender separation is not 100% accurate, it's just tendencies) chaotic and they color out of the lines so much longer than most girls. It's the way they view the world. It helps me if I get down on his level (I forget sometimes that being three feet taller gives me a better vantage point for things) and then if I narrow the viewing circle..."Look between the coffee table and the sofa, do you see it now? No? Look between the sofa and the throw rug, do you see it now?..." and so on. Another thing that has helped has been playing a LOT of "I spy", on the bus, on the sidewalk, in the park, at the supermarket, everywhere! and also those spot the difference games. It's so much fun for him to solve the puzzle and it helps train his eye for detail. remember that grown up have learned to control their retina and focus much more specifically than children.
Lazy is a really unkind word in my point of view, and I gently suggest that you rephrase and reshape your perspective on your son and consider that he is just six and may see the world in a different way from you.
ETA: I also just noticed that you are near the end of your pregnancy...this may be affecting your patience levels and he might be resisting you in fear of the coming baby...he may be testing your rejection tolerance to see if this baby is going to replace him or make less time and less love for him. You may want to address thyis emotional fear before you push too hard on finding out "what's wrong with him?" Kids will internalize these feelings, especially if they sense that baby is obviously accepted and happily so by the family. They may not even realize they feel anxiety about it, but if you think about it, anxiety must be inevitable. This is HUGE life change for him, I think you should tread gently and allow him to express this fear how he needs to.
I came back to this post, too. Your descriptions of your son sound a lot like one of my boys at age 6. I knew he was smart and couldn't figure out why he refused to do homework, and would know something one minute and not the next. He "refused" to learn to tell time or even to tie his shoes until 2nd grade. My son was considered lazy by his teachers at 6 because he would do everything to get out of reading and writing.
Turns out, my poor son has dyslexia. Reading and writing were SO OVERWHELMING to him because he was not being taught in a way that he could learn. Can you imagine being told to do homework-- oh, and by the way-- do it in a foreign language. That's what it was like for him. Thank God I didn't listen to his teacher and finally had him privately evaluated at the beginning of 2nd grade.
It has been a HUGE relief to know what's going on. And to know what methods of teaching will help him.
I also agree that LAZY is a loaded word--- especially for such a young kid. I think you should look for what ELSE is going on with him. Off the top of my head, there could be Executive Function issues (which means he has trouble figuring out what order to do things in), he could have Sensory Issues, ADD, ADHD or any number of things. My BIL, for instance, used to battle his son at ages 2,3 4 & 5 over mealtime because the kid just would not use a utensil. Turns out he has severe executive function and sensory issues-- my nephew's brain couldn't efficiently tell him how to pick up a fork, aim it at the food, pick up the food, open his mouth, move the fork in, close his mouth, etc. But his parents battled him over food for YEARS because they thought he was lazy. They literally took away his dinner because he wouldn't use a fork, and he went to bed hungry. My BIL felt like a giant ass (which he was) once he found out he'd been torturing his son over something his little guy had absolutely no control over. OT has solved the problem and mended the relationship issue that developed as a result.
There's another thing to consider before labeling your son lazy. Maybe you're not parenting him effectively. Any chance you're contributing to his issues in some way? Do you yell too much so he turns you off? Have you created an environment where if he rebels enough he gets his way? I don't know. But maybe it's not just your son's issue.
I urge you to have your son evaluated by a professional to see if there's something going on. At the same time, I think you should ask yourself if there's a more effective way to parent him. Would a reward chart get him on track? What else would motivate him? How about asking him? My son is tutored before school 3x week because of his dyslexia. It is a grind. He promised not to complain and to do his best if, after he moves up 10 levels in his tutoring, he gets a long board. It took 6 months, but he's about to meet his goal and I'm getting him a long board. He has rarely complained and he deserves it.
Best of luck.
I've got ADHD. There are things sitting on my floor/counters/wherever that I KNOW are there, and that I want to clean up, but I haven't touched them in weeks. Sometimes longer.
hmmmmm, I do not have ADHD and I have things sitting on my floors and counters etc that I KNOW are there and I keep meaning to clean up but have not touched for weeks or even months. What does it mean? I'm like the opposite of OCD for everything but my work space.
Rather than be tempted to find another acronym or 'ism' to throw around, I might wager you are similar to me and just find comfort in having things that way. You keep your workspace clean because its essential, but the other stuff? you like having it around, thats all. :) Not everything is a disorder. Or everything is a disorder, depending on your philosphy and semantics. :lol:
to the OP: your child could be hypotonic. I was at a child and my younger DD is also. In other to combat it, we both need tonnes of sports to keep us active, because once we stop and slip back into the lazy zone, it takes a big kick in the ass to get us going again. I also used to stop mid-meal and not want to pick up my fork and chew anymore because i just would all of a sudden get super tired from it, like i couldnt get my muscles to reflex anymore.
I also think an eval would be well worth the time. There are some flags that could be anything from Auditory processing disorders, visual processing disorders, ADHD, and seizure activity, and that is just based on my circle of friends and the combined experience of being around our kids. A developmental pediatrician would be a good next step. Evals with a speech therapist (for auditory processing, dyslexia, or phonological awareness issues) and an Occupational therapist for sensory issues would be good to have too. The ST especially. Some of the phonological awareness and auditory processing stuff can be pretty invisible if you don't know what you are looking for, but can have a massive impact on behavior. (for that matter, so can sensory and low tone issues...once you are familiar with it, you won't believe you missed it, but until you understand it, you just can't see it) It could be as simple as sleep apnea or other things causing a lack of sleep, which interferes with concentration, fatigue and behavior.
If you are homeschooling then you really need to be proactive with this. We homeschool our oldest, who has very significant special needs. Between my two kids, one with Autism, one with much less severe SNs (significant lack of phonological awareness & mild auditory processing issues), we spend 4 days a week in various therapies, sometimes multiple therapies a day.
If you do want to continue to homeschool, you are going to have to make it more structured. Kids who have the kinds of struggles that you are describing need a lot more structure, including things like visual schedules and other visual supports (if they are pre or early reading especially), or their anxiety becomes so high they aren't able to take in new information. You don't want all of their energy used up on just trying to figure out what you expect, with nothing left over to tackle the actual subject at hand.
Hang in there. It is frustrating when you realize things aren't working "like they are supposed to". Knowledge is power though, and getting some outside help as you learn to understand what is going on is critical to helping your child succeed. It will benefit both you and them in the long run.

I would put in another vote for getting him evaluated, just because all of this stuff sounds like SOMETHING is going on between stimuli from the outside world and reception and processing in his brain. Whatever is going on, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, dyslexia, nearsightedness, seizures, something else, if you know what it is, you can address it with nutrition, therapy, or pharmaceuticals and help him learn to compensate so that he can get tasks of daily living and schooling accomplished.
I would also suggest that you consider putting him into a regular school for the following reasons:
1. If he does have learning disabilities or special needs of some sort, you will have access to experts and one-on-one help at school or through the district who can fine-tune their teaching for his specific needs.
2. homeschooling him sounds stressful for you, especially with a new baby on the way, and this might be a task better shared by a larger number of people.
3. If he does have something else going on that affects how he relates to people, another thing he's going to have to figure out is how to interact successfully with other human beings. And school is a major training ground for figuring out how to socalize.
I would, to rule out something unknown, get a medical evaluation, perhaps a reading evaluation.
But I would leave him be at meals. I would be thinking about removing yourself from his education, for now.
You are not a bad mama, but if feels like you guys are in an unhealthy dynamic and need to switch things up. It happens to us all.

while these are only opinions they come across as inaccurate and damaging---IMO
please consider carefully before making you decision
it is very false to believe your child is better off being in school at this time- with all the stress that he is to expect in the coming months with a new sibling it may be not the correct fit and might only lead him to feel more effected by the siblings arrival
it is false -in many district it is not the case that the child will get one on one attention and YES homeschool children to get services
if you have a local group of homeschooler reach out to them and also seek out the section here-others can help-please look into local homeschool groups to give you breaks with activities
if is extremely misleading to ever feel that a child would, could or even should receive socialization in a "school" type setting-many misinformed believe this when it is far from the truth about homeschoolers----schools are not the major training grounds that all parents welcome, far from it
labels can cause so many issue themselves, be it lazy or ADHD, etc
there is a lot on your child's plate and many posters have given your good information, take it slow and by all means don't rush into another situation that might cause your child more stress

I also have to tell you that my son, who is only four, can't see a damn thing. He'll ask me where a toy is that's right in front of him and I'll point it out and he'll still be totally unable to see it.
It's pretty clear that what you're doing is not working. Maybe it's him, maybe it's that you need to evaluate your own expectations of him. Probably a combo of both. I know that when I am most off from my son is when my expectations of him are entirely inappropriate. That's when we end up fighting. Then I figure out that he can't do what I want, dial my expectations down, and we're back to happy.
Someone mentioned unschooling, maybe even radical unschooling. Check it out! It's the most awesome thing on earth and it would take a lot of the pressure off of both you and him. If he eats one bite of food, he eats a bite of food. You can stop nagging him about reading. He can just be present and you can be present with him. It's all about the relationship and that kids are natural learners. If you decide to do this, expect your son to be very imbalanced because you're taking off the reins, will probably game all of the time, but he'll find what makes him tick and you'll find that as well. I just think what you're describing is very behavioral and volitional, and he's only a six year old kid. He should be having fun and enjoying life, not fighting with his mom, and you should be enjoying him as well.
Congrats on your April baby. DS is an April baby and it was awesome to have a little one in the spring/summer.

I posted earlier about my son with dyslexia and I have to agree with the recent poster that public schools generally do not have the resources to help if her child is mildly learning disabiled. If OP's son does have a learning disability like dyslexia, she'll need a private tutor to help her deal with it, as schools are generally very poorly equipped to intervene. In fact, we're trying to figure out if there's a way to homeschool my son part time so that he gets to be at school with his buddies during "specials" like PE and music and art, and we'll have tutors help him learn "his way" in reading, writing and math.
Regarding kids not learning to read until 8 or 9. Um. No. Wow. Kids read well before then. My 4-year-old daughter can read. Any 8-year-old who cannot read should have a learning evaluation to find out what the problem is. It might be lack of instruction, but more like there is a learning issue.

Just because some kids CAN read before the age of 8 doesn't mean there is not a healthy range of normal that extends as far as that. (I started reading when I was 3.5 but DH didn't start until he was about 7 or 8, miraculously we both read at the same level today, despite alack of learning ability evaluations of DH or any tutoring...that's just the way things were then) An 8 year old who does not read and is being unschooled or schooled in another system of education not quite so obsessed with making kids independent learners at ever younger ages, may very well not have reached the point where he or she is readyy,and that's okay and not at all something to worry about. Honestly. Some school systems around the world (in very productive and wealthy countries I might add) do not being formal education at all until the age of 7 or 8 and their kids learn to read and write as well as any third grader in the US does, by the end of their first year. It's really not as scandalous as you think.
I think it's great that your daughter reads at age four, but my son doesn't, and I don't care because his interests lie elsewhere. If the original poster has a child who isn't ready to read and she's trying to teach reading, it may be a huge part of their problem. It's totally developmentally okay if he doesn't learn to read at age six, or seven, or eight. Most who read later will catch up quite quickly. So it's not really an "um. no. wow." moment. The sad thing is that if you have a kid who is reading later responses like "um. no. wow." just make you feel like even more of a freak and increases your anxiety when it's totally unnecessary.

My son didn't start really reading until this last year--he is 10.5. That's totally normal FOR HIM. He also couldn't see that silly sock on the floor when he was 6 either, and sometimes still can't. And he is the slowest eater on the planet, unless it's tacos, and he's sooo not picky. It's just him, and yes, it can drive me batty! I would suggest starting w/backing off on reading/school in general. As was suggested earlier, try enjoying the talking, or maybe even set a time when he can do all the talking he wants, say, until the timer goes off. Maybe that will help both of you. It seems that maybe you have expectations that are exceeding your son's capabilities at the moment. Just like when a toddler has expectations that exceed his abilities, he will tantrum. Sounds maybe like what is going on with you? Not trying to knock your parenting at all, but yeah, relax some. And I know from experience that being in your last stretch of pregnancy will make your patience level drop tremendously. I totally agree that the word lazy is loaded, esp. with a child so young.

I am interested in rolling my own sever backup routine using Amazon S3 or even Google Storage as my storage host. I currently use Mozy Pro (I opted into their new pricing model which allows me share my backup storage pool across numerous servers). I want a storage system that allows me to have more control over the storage scheme than what Mozy offers. Amazon S3 also seems to be considerably cheaper than Mozy (at least after the initial upload).

Assad's foes had dismissed the election as a charade, saying
the two relatively unknown challengers offered no real
alternative and that no poll held in the midst of civil war
could be considered credible.
"I declare the victory of Dr Bashar Hafez al-Assad as
president of the Syrian Arab Republic with an absolute
majority of the votes cast in the election," Laham said in a
televised address from his office in the Syrian parliament.
Syria's constitutional court earlier said that turnout in
Tuesday's election and an earlier round of voting for Syrian
expatriates stood at 73 percent.
Syrian officials had described the predicted victory as
vindication of Assad's three-year campaign against those
fighting to oust him.
Voting took place in government-controlled areas of Syria,
but not in large parts of northern and eastern Syria held by
rebels fighting to end 44 years of Assad family rule.
The conflict has killed 160,000 people, driven nearly 3
million abroad as refugees and displaced many more inside

1963 Chevy Impala - Magoo's ShoesWritten by on November 13, 2009 Upgrading An Impala's Binders
Brake and suspension upgrades are usually one of the first things to be done to a newly acquired old car and oftentimes one of the most needed. Big heavy drum brake systems that were antiquated when new don't perform like a modern disc brake system and fail to offer the safety that contemporary brake packages do. But simply slapping on a new pair of binders is not that simple. Many of the existing brake and suspension components need to be addressed as well.
Recently, our buddy Dick "Magoo" Megugorac picked up a '63 Chevy Impala to take out to the local Phoenix cruise nights and was spending many a day with Dean Livermore at his shop Hot Rod's by Dean. While the Impala seemed to run fine and went down the road well enough, it lacked some of the creature comforts Magoo desired. But things like air conditioning, a necessity in the Arizona summer, would have to wait for the most important upgrade to be made first: the braking system.
Weighing the possibilities and various kits available, Magoo decided to go with Classic Performance Products' (CPP) minimum offset disc brake kit for the Chevy's stock spindles. Their kit comes with everything needed to upgrade the old shoes to modern discs, from the master cylinder to the dust caps, including a new hard brake line and hoses. It was also decided at this time that the suspension would get a fresh overhaul as well so new bushings, ball joints, bumpstops, and outer tie-rod assemblies.
We spent a day down at Hot Rod's by Dean and hung out with Magoo while he made the swap and upgrade on the old Impala and while he's more at home working on Highboy roadsters (he's built a few dozen) he found his way around the big Chevy just fine.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Here's the stock suspension components complete with the big, stock drum binders. While they worked fine way back in the way back, modern disc brakes provide less fade, better pedal feel, and more consistent performance in all-weather situations.The first step is to break both ball joints free and, while supporting the lower control arm so as to keep the coil spring under pressure, remove the spindle and brake assembly as a unit. The lower control arm can then be carefully lowered to alleviate the load from the coil spring.The control arms removed, careful attention is paid to ball joint configuration as well as cross shaft relationships and bumpstop locations.A quick bath in the sand blaster and a new coat of chassis black paint and it's time to reassemble the lower control arm. Note the two mounting tabs on the cross shaft, it can only be installed back on the chassis one way so care must be taken to not install it backward on the control arm as the bushings would most likely be damaged if removal were necessary once pressed on. Also note the new bumpstop, lower ball joint, and cross shaft bushings from CPP.The bumpstop mounts in a traditional manner, while the lower ball joint has an interesting method of attachment.A stud and nut fastens the top of the ball joint, while two bolts fasten from either side. The vertical stud also incorporates the zerk fitting.
The upper ball joint uses a more traditional three fastener approach to attach to the upper control arm...A thin film of grease is applied to the surfaces of the bushings to allow them to slide onto the control arm and over the cross shaft.Using a coil spring compressor, the upper and lower control arms compress the spring so the new CPP spindle can be installed.Using a technique taught to him by the Army, Magoo packs the bearings full of high-temp grease before installing the rotor.
The caliper is of the floating variety, noted by the fasteners that allow it to move horizontally, aligning it with the rotor. CPP includes high-pressure brake hoses with their kit that attach to the stock brake frame fittings.New tie-rod ends and adjusting sleeves will be installed as well. Compared to the stock units, you can see why.The finished suspension install is attached to the existing steering components using the new CPP items, as is the existing sway bar.The last thing on our list of upgrades is the master cylinder, which will bolt into the stock location.The CPP minimum offset disc brake kit for stock spindles contains brackets, loaded Big Bore calipers, rotors, bearings, seals, dust caps, spindle nuts, hoses, master cylinder with 8-inch booster, proportioning valve, and pre-bent hard-line kit. The kit shown contains optional upgraded rotors.

Cut 2 pieces of cardboard into circles that are 3 1/2" in diameter. Hot glue them together to make them stronger, avoiding the center for when you drill later. Measure and draw 2 perpendicular lines intersecting in the center. Drill through that center mark with a piece of wood behind the cardboard for safety.
Paint the front and sides of your clock face. While that dries, sand, cut and spray paint 12 13" dowels.
On the back of your clock face, draw 6 equidistant lines intersecting in the center as your guide.
Cut away any excess material around the center hole with a utility knife so the clock can fit.
Align both 12 o'clocks on your clock and grid before gluing the two pieces together. Be careful not to get any hot glue on the center piece.
Using the grid as your guide, hot glue your dowels onto the back of the clock. Using a roll of tape can stabilize the surface area for this step. A bird's eye view can help you see if the dowels align.

Blog: Warrnambool urges investors to hold fire on "opportunistic" Bega offer
Dean Best | 18 September 2013
Bega claims combined business would benefit from "globally relevant" scale
Australian dairy processor Warrnambool Cheese and Butter Factory has told investors to "take no action" on the A$319m takeover bid from local peer - and shareholder - Bega Cheese, while it reviews what it has already labelled an "opportunistic" offer.
Bega, which first invested in WCB in 2010 when it bought a 15% stake in the business, last week made a cash-and-share bid it claimed would benefit both companies' shareholders.
WCB chairman Terry Richardson has written to the company's investors to say its board is looking at the offer and to urge them not to act until its directors have made their recommendation.
Richardson also made the point of highlighting WCB's recent moves, which he said "provide a positive outlook" for the company's growth and profitability.
The initiatives, he said, "are contributing to an improving product mix, higher margins and earnings diversification" and "will create significant value for shareholders". In the last year, for example, WCB has signed deals to produce cheese products for Kraft Foods and supply milk powder to Japan's Mitsubishi Corp.
However, in the letter, Richardson also indicated WCB had an early view of at least the timing of Bega's offer.
"WCB directors will assess these factors as we consider whether Bega's offer adequately reflects the value of the WCB business today, the expected future earnings uplift from the initiatives currently underway and the improving market conditions. Given the highly favourable outlook for WCB, we consider the timing of the offer to be highly opportunistic," Richardson wrote.
The offer must remain open for at least a month from when it opens, which, WCB said, can be no earlier than next Thursday (26 September).
The presence of a second major local dairy co-op, Murray Goulburn, could muddy the waters. Murray Goulburn owns a 17% stake in WCB. What are its intentions? It tried to buy WCB in 2010 but withdrew its bid after rebuttals from the WCB board and indications Australia's competition watchdog thought a deal could hinder competition in parts of the milk market.
As an unlisted co-op, Murray Goulburn has no shares to offer in any counter offer. Any bid for Murray Goulburn would still likely interest anti-trust officials in Australia. But could it make a Bega takeover more difficult?
