Community College Choice and the Role of Undermatching in the Lives of African Americans
Description: This study explored why academically qualified African American students, those eligible to attend four-year institutions, choose to attend community colleges and are, thereby, undermatched. This qualitative study investigated how these students navigated the college choice process, what influenced their decision to attend a community college, what their experience at a community college was like, and their aspirations to obtain a baccalaureate degree. Purposeful sampling was used to gather a sample of 19 African American students attending community college in Dallas, Texas. The sample included 14 females and five males. Data were collected through 40-60 minute semi-structured interviews and a brief demographic survey. The conceptual frameworks for this study included Kassie Freeman's predetermination model that includes cultural considerations in college choice and the Somers et al. model that addresses factors that increase the likelihood of a student choosing to attend a community college. This integrated framework captures the role that family and culture play in African American community college choice. Findings suggest that the community college choice influences for academically eligible African American students vary from traditional college choice models. Whereas factors such as cost, location, and the role of peers played somewhat of a role in their choice, participants were also heavily influenced by sports, self-perceptions of maturity, and the perceptions of their families. Another key finding was that the effects of undermatching vary. All of the participants in this study felt that attending a community college fostered transfer preparedness, supported personal development, and promoted their academic success. However, some of the participants also felt that attending a community college hindered their sense of autonomy and limited their social engagement. This variation leads to the conclusion that undermatching effects vary and are dependent upon a variety of contextual factors. Policy and practice recommendations are provided for parents, teachers, counselors, and ...

BlogEngine.net 1.3/1.4 supports user roles. But we can't seem to be able to make it mandatory for users to sign in to see blog posts. That's not something you usually want on a public blog, but for a corporate blog, maybe you want to make sure your news only gets to the people you want. This seemed like a perfect candidate for a BlogEngine extension.
In our scenario, we don't want any unregistered users to be able to see blog posts. This can be easily checked by calling Membership.GetUser() and ensuring the returned value is not null. We could filter out specific users as well, but we didn't implement this feature in our extension.
It could be interesting to restrict who can see the posts in a specific blog category. For example, a blog category "Top Secret" which can only be read by your company's upper management… Not very likely in a blog, but you get the point. Our extension does this filtering by associating a blog Category with a membership Role in the extension's settings.
By associating a membership role with a blog category name, the extension ensures the user has this role before displaying a post associated with this blog category name. If you add two roles for the same category, posts with this category will only be served if the user has both roles.
Adding a setting with an empty category name will ensure that all posts require a particular role.

A last minute ditch to grab some chow!
After our trip to Oriental City in Colindale two weekends back, we were so smitten with the food found in the foodcourt that we trudged back for a repeat visit, this time with HP in tow.
After stuffing ourselves silly in the foodcourt, we came upon this satay stall that is conspicuously set up beside the centre's multi-storey carpark. It's the typical Malaysian satay outlet that is often seen along the winding roads through Malaysian Peninsula.
In fact, most customers that occupied the stall's four tables were either Malaysians or Singaporeans going by their accents. It's being teleported back to home, with the air-con switched on full blast; the temperature was closer to 18C.
Other than the temperature, it's the difference in prices as well. Back home, each stick of satay goes for 22 pence (S$0.60). That particular stall was selling six sticks of satay (with onions and some ketupat - rice cakes) for 6.50 pounds ($17.44). A princely sum indeed that would make many choked on the ketupat. My advice? Go for the lamb, it taste much better.
But hey, you could always wash it down with a cup of teh-tarik (foamed milk tea), which tasted heavenly. With a price tag of one quid, it's worth every penny.
Toko Home, a discount store in Oriental City, is having a huge store clearance sale. The last time that we bought something, it was "buy 1 get 1 free". Now the promotion is going at "buy 1 get 2 free"!
Well, I wouldn't be suprised if it goes for "buy 1 get 3 free" when it comes to the last day, which is the 31st May.

Industry News
NEW DELHI—India's government on Monday eased foreign-direct investment restrictions in several sectors to increase inflows, a move that also could pave the way for Apple Inc. to open its own stores in one of its main growth markets.
A surge in cross-border mergers and acquisitions boosted global foreign direct investment flows around the world last year to $1.76 trillion, the most since the 2008-2009 financial crisis, the United Nations said in a study.
The 'Foreign Direct Investment in Latin America and the Caribbean' 2015 report published by Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) showed that Mexico recorded inflows of US$ 22.795 billion in 2014. Brazil continues to be the largest recipient of FDI in the region, though inflows US$ 62.495 billion, while Chile remains the … Continue reading Organisers of Annual Investment Meeting 2016 call for building investment bridges between Middle East and South America
The role of foreign direct investment into the continent remains significant: on average the government budgets of African countries currently depend on corporates domiciled in other countries for 14% of their funding.
Africa is now positioning itself as a major business opportunity for investors, according to ICAEW's latest Economic Insight report.
China's outbound direct investment (ODI )is expected to surpass $1 trillion for the first time in 2015, as slowing economic growth and rising internationalisation of Chinese business see more local companies investing overseas.
When the PM travels to the US this week to woo businesses there, one of the key facts that the government will be tomtoming about is the surge in foreign direct investment since Narendra Modi took over and how his personal touch has helped.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) in Turkey reached $3.39 billion in July, according to a report from the Ministry of Economy on Sept. 30.
The total volume of foreign investments in the UAE, at present a regional base for over 500 international companies, exceeded $100 billion in the past 10 years, Minister of Economy Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansouri said on Wednesday.
NEW DELHI: India has emerged on top of the foreign direct investment league table, overtaking China and the United States, according to the FT data service.

Btihal Remli is a German photographer who is living in Vienna. She has been shooting mostly portrait and street on 120 film and had work featuring on Shooting Film last month.
There are a lot of reasons that make Btihal love shooting film, and she would like to share with us her 5 main things.
1. The first and most important thing why I love to shoot with film is that moment of doubt. It is the moment after you did all the settings and your finger is on the button for taking the picture. It is moment of absolute doubt. For me it's the basis for any kind of art.
2. Analogue photography is a very slow medium. You really have to think and that gives me time to observe.
3. The feeling of those beautiful colours from a Kodak Portra film and the light have such a nice fuzziness in analogue. Not reachable with pixels.
4. With a frame of 6x6 and a 120 film you have to change after 12 images. This process of wrapping up the film, taking it out, then putting the new one in is a ritual and by that it prepares you for a start.
5. Vilém Flusser describes the gesture of photographing as a philosophical gesture: "Since photography has been invented it was possible to produce philosophy not only with the medium of words but images". And if you shoot 1000 of photos it can't be taken seriously as philosophical position, but you can with only a few images.
See more of her work at her website.

Murray, Sawant promise better Seattle at historic inauguration
Hundreds of people packed the lobby of Seattle City Hall while others filled staircases and listened on speakers outside as the city's first openly gay mayor and first Socialist councilmember took the oath of office in what was a historic inauguration.
Mayor Ed Murray and Councilmember Kshama Sawant stole the spotlight Monday, despite an evening that also saw incumbent councilmembers Mike O'Brien, Nick Licata and Sally Bagshaw take the oath of office. City Attorney Peter Holmes was also sworn in for another term.
The city moved the ceremony, which is typically done in council chambers, to the lobby and prepared the plaza for overflow in anticipation of a record crowd after sending out 2,000 invitations to the event.
"Clearly, because of the interest, we wanted to make room and access for all people who wanted to participate and attend," said City Clerk Monica Martinez Simmons.
Simmons said the city fielded requests from national and international media outlets, including MSNBC, CNN, and The Times of India. Allen Schauffler, a correspondent for Al Jazeera America, was dispatched to cover Sawant's inaugural speech.
"It's really interesting to have somebody this far on one side of the political spectrum, even in a city as liberal as Seattle, winning a seat on the city council," he said. "I would hope that there'd be similar interest, and that we would devote similar time, if somebody as far right on the political spectrum as she is left was elected to the city council."
Sawant had the most vocal supporters Monday, many of whom brought signs touting a $15 per hour minimum wage – something Sawant has vowed to bring to Seattle.
"I will do my utmost to represent the disenfranchised and the excluded, the poor and the oppressed by fighting for a $15 an hour minimum wage, affordable housing, and taxing the super-rich for a massive expansion of public transit and education," she said, adding that she "wears the badge of Socialist with honor."
Sawant also promised that there would be "no backroom deals with corporations or their political servants."
"There will be no rotten sellout of the people I represent," she said.
While Murray echoed Sawant's demands for a higher minimum wage, he also touched on issues such as public safety, pledging to make the city's police department "a model of urban policing for the rest of this nation."
"I'm committed to making sure that our police department achieves the federal court mandate and moves on. However, that alone will not be enough," he said. "The agreement with the Justice Department must be embraced and woven into the fabric of our police force."
The new mayor also promised to tackle the city's transportation issues.
"I believe that we can truly build an integrated transportation system with a world class transit system at its core," Murray said. "I believe we can maintain and expand a vibrant park system, sidewalks, bike lanes, repair our crumbling streets, and efficiently rebuild our central waterfront."
Special guests at Monday's event included Joe Higgins, a Socialist member of the Irish Parliament, and Gary Locke, the U.S. Ambassador to China.

File Explorer stops working when right clicking on a partition
I have W8 on a laptop and a desktop.
In File Explorer I get the normal list of options when right clicking on a partition in the laptop but it stops working when this is done on the desktop OS. (Each has multiple partitions.)
Items other than partitions all respond normally to a right click, including Computer. If this is opened in the right pane then the partitions listed there also then respond normally to a right click.
On occasions I have chosen the debug instead of closing but this has had no apparent effect; neither has running Sfc /scannow.
Is there an alternative to running the "Refresh your PC" function - this would entail the reinstall a quite a number of programs that I have added.

Latest information - I had another unrelated problem, and decided to try disconnecting the power from the tower for a few seconds, and then restarting. This fixed that problem -there had been an apparent hanging during P.O.S.T.
When I checked File Explorer in case this may have corrected, found that I could now effectively right click on all items, so it seems so.
Wonder if W8's shutdown / restart is not the same as earlier operating systems, and any glitch sometimes fixed by a restart from Windows, in W8 it now requires switching off and/or disconnecting / reconnecting the power supply?

The Newburgh Sting Trailer (2014)
Just 60 miles north of New York City sits the poverty-stricken town of Newburgh, where, in 2009, four men were arrested for a plan to bomb two Jewish centers in the Bronx. But their leader, a suspicious Pakistani businessman planted by the government as an informant, led these men straight into the hands of the authorities. With endless footage gathered from hidden cameras, directors David Heilbroner and Kate Davis investigate just what homegrown terrorism truly means in this shocking and galvanizing exposé.
Watch the official The Newburgh Sting 2014 trailer in HD below or find more The Newburgh Sting videos on Vidimovie.

Surf School: Learning to Surf in Agnes Water
Learning to surf was pretty high on my list of things to do in Australia, but I somehow managed to spend three months travelling around Queensland without getting around to it. When I arrived in Agnes Water – the laid-back, hippie surf town, and most northerly point you can surf on Australia's east coast – I knew that I had to book a lesson before I left!
Five Things to do in Naples (As Well as Trying the World's Best Pizza!)
Everyone warned me about going to Naples. "It's dirty" they said, "You'll get mugged!" one horrified Sardinian exclaimed before I left for the mainland on the 13-hour night ferry from Cagliari (getting mugged would, in fact, end up happening in Milan, and not Naples…where my disgustingly smelly Nike trainers were untied from my backpack on the metro!) but despite its reputation, I absolutely fell in love with the city…and found that there are so many great things to do in Naples!

10 Photos Which Prove There's More to Hervey Bay Than Fraser Island
If you ask your average East-Coast backpacker about Hervey Bay, chances are they'll say they stayed there on the way to Fraser Island…and that will be about all they can tell you…
For most people, the town is a pit-stop on the way to the world's largest sand island – a place to sleep the night before (and shower the day after!) one of the three-day camping packages, or to stock up on food before a self-drive tour of the island. If you ask them to describe Hervey Bay itself, they are likely to say it's a quiet town, with not much to do… Continue reading
Discover Five of Italy's Most Beautiful Destinations

Exploring Noosa National Park on Australia's Sunshine Coast
After One Week in Brisbane, I couldn't wait to get on the road and head north to Noosa. I'd had enough of the busy city and felt like the sea was calling me! Plus, I was desperate for my first glimpse of Australia's beautiful East Coast, which I'd read so much about. Continue reading
One Week in Brisbane
In hindsight, one week in Brisbane was probably a little too long. I'd booked it as a sort of buffer – so that I could have some downtime after travelling from Scotland, and to give myself a couple of days to sleep off the jetlag and another couple of days to explore the city before I moved on to the Sunshine Coast.

A Tale or Two About…Finally Making it to Australia
It's only taken nine months (or 10 years since I technically first added the country to my bucket list!) for me to make it to Australia…and I couldn't be happier to be here. I left cold, grey and slightly snowy Scotland one week ago today – flying from Edinburgh to Brisbane, via Abu Dhabi. Continue reading

Eurofins Scientific (EUFI.PA), a global leader in environment testing, announces that it has acquired Ana Laboratories, Inc. (ANA), one of the largest laboratory networks specialized in fluid and tribology analyses serving the public mass transit sector in the USA.
Over the last 40 years, ANA has become one of the most trusted laboratory partners for fluid analysis for the transport sector in the country. The company employs 48 staff in 7 laboratories serving 75 of the largest city transit agencies (such as the New York City Transit), several statewide Departments of Transportation including Texas and Connecticut, as well as the largest railway companies nationwide. This acquisition therefore expands Eurofins environment testing footprint into industrial fluid analysis in the US. Given ANAs penetration of the public mass transit sector, Eurofins believes it represents a solid entry platform into industrial oil testing, as well as the wider market for tribology analysis.

Apparently, we continue to prepare for the next zombie apocalypse, because this game is a regular "simulator" on this subject, let's see what they teach us ...
In order not to let go of the zombie theme, I propose to take a look at a fresh shooting range on this subject, here you have the role of a brave sniper, who shoots walking dead from level to level!
Continuation of the game, which was waiting for more than 10 million people! Do you think this is worthy of our attention? I'm sure there's one of you among these millions, so let's not pull the tires!
If someone misses cool shooters, then you better pass by, and everyone who loves funny shooters - welcome, this game on your android is one of those!
A brand new shooting gallery with serious ambitions, without trying to jump above your nose and quite interesting tasks, so, I invite all fans to shoot!
A powerful shooter, which is definitely worth downloading to those who like shooting, because it is in fact it is, that's only it was able to add dynamics, which before this genre was not enough!
Did you miss the shooting gallery? Here is another representative of the genre, which this time was more reasonable compared to many, we will shoot from a helicopter!
"Taken" film watched by many, and so, in this game to some extent developed on a similar subject, offering you save the kidnapped daughter of the protagonist!
More and more developers leaning toward launching "shooter" format projects, and full, so shooting ranges go into the background, but not today!
Fresh shooter about not the freshest meat, namely zombie! If you are tired of this theme Auteuil - can be ignored, and if you do something is not enough, then the project will try to make up for it!

The government of Uganda took to YouTube today in an attempt to correct what it said was a "false impression" created by the wildly successful viral video campaign Kony 2012.
Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi appears in the eight-minute video to deny that his country is harboring Joseph Kony, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court on 33 counts of crimes against humanity and war crimes.
More from GlobalPost: Kony 2012 flops in Uganda
According to Reuters, Uganda is spearheading the effort to track Kony down and wants the world to know this.
Jason Russell, one of the makers of the film, was picked up by police in California yesterday after an apparent episode during which he was reportedly seen in public behaving erratically, either nude or largely undressed.
The Ugandan government's video can be seen here:
"The Kony 2012 campaign fails to make one crucial point clear. Joseph Kony is not in Uganda," Mbabazi says. "Uganda is not in conflict. Uganda is a modern, developing country which enjoys peace, stability and security."
On his Twitter account, Mbabazi wrote to US celebrties such as Rush Limbaugh, the pop star Rihanna, investor Warren Buffett, the singer Taylor Swift, the television personality Ryan Seacrest and the athlete Tim Tebow. He used the hashtag #KonyisntinUganda.
@rushlimbaugh As Uganda PM,I appreciate your interest & invite you to visit our proud nation to see the peace that exists #KonyisntinUganda
— Amama Mbabazi (@AmamaMbabazi) March 17, 2012
More from GlobalPost: Chinese cars, made in Bulgaria
According to Reuters, Kony's reign of terror largely ended in 2005 and his is now said to command only a few hundred followers in "remote jungle hideouts" in neighboring countries.

Between getting up early to watch the sun rise, catching the ferry, wandering around Cozumel, and exploring San Gervasio, I had probably been walking for at least 5 hours by the time I returned to town. However, my day was not yet over. Just as the sunrise in Playa del Carmen was beautiful, I had planned to shoot the sunset from Cozumel. My initial exploring of the town gave me a few good ideas for vantage points to use for the all-too-brief transition from day to night.
At the end, I lowered the camera to watch the sun splash down into the water. It very much reminded me of when my family went on a trip to Monserrat (a small island in the Caribbean) many years ago. Every night, we gathered on the patio of our villa to watch the sun hit the ocean. It was very much the same feeling, one I will always treasure.

We are Jewish residents of Chatham who were saddened by the anti-Semitic threat made to St. Paul's Church, warning them that if they "continued to allow the Jews to use the church there will be a lot more than nails in the parking lot."
While this event was certainly frightening, it appears to have been the act of one intolerant person. Unfortunately, since it is newsworthy, it may serve to cast a shadow on the town that is neither fair nor accurate.
Although it may come as a surprise to some that harbor old views of Chatham, our own experienced have been, in fact, quite positive. As residents of both the borough and the township, we have moved here for many of the same reasons as everyone else - the proximity to New York City, the pleasures of a small town, the lovely communities and the excellent schools.
We have, each in our own way, enjoyed the warmth and welcoming of the town on so many levels.
It was especially encouraging to see that the town officials, police and clergy rallied together to admonish this act of prejudice.
The fact that it was immediately taken seriously and treated sensitively speaks volumes to the character of the town and to the people who live here.
Acts of hate can occur anywhere - and do -and can be directed at any culture. The fact that an incident happened in Chatham is unfortunate, but it gives our town a unique opportunity to raise awareness of our diversity.
From all indications of the support that has already been shown, we are confident that Chatham will unite and rise above this. We hope our unity can help to build new inroads to religious tolerance on all levels.

Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions that you will ever make and one of the most expensive purchases you will make in your life. At the outset, buying your first house in Connecticut may seem like a big hill to climb. Most everything in life is difficult the first time around, and we want you to see us as the guiding hand that will help you through the mortgage process.
You want to be sure that you're getting a competitive rate, that you understand the fees you'll be paying at closing, and all the other details that come with home ownership. There's a lot to learn and get comfortable with, so let's get started by reviewing the steps to homeownership:
In general the process for buying home is as follows:
- Get financially fit. Start saving and adhere to a financial budget to prepare for the additional expense of your mortgage payment, taxes and insurances. Review your credit history and pay all your bills on time. Ask yourself if you are ready for the responsibility of owning a home and realistically consider why you want a home. It takes a lot of time, energy and money, and you want to be sure you're doing it for the right reasons, both personally and practically.
- Know your rights. There are many Connecticut state and federal laws to protect you as a homebuyer throughout the process, including predatory lending and discrimination protection. Do some research on your rights to full disclosure of fees, charges, terms of the loan and credit decisions. For more information visit HUD's website at http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD
- Get pre-approved and house hunt with confidence. Knowing what you can afford before you start looking for a house in Connecticut ensures you don't waste your time or set your heart on a house you won't be able to purchase. Define the most important home features for you and begin shopping for your ideal Connecticut home. It helps to make a wish list of key requirements. By defining these requirements, you won't waste time looking at houses that don't meet your needs.
Once you are convinced that you want to buy a house in Connecticut, the next step is to determine how much you can afford. You can start by analyzing your current expenses. Expenses come in the form of "fixed" expenses and "discretionary" expenses. Fixed expenses are things like car payments, taxes, day care, where as discretionary expenses are those where you have flexibility in deciding how much, or little, to spend in these areas. Examples are clothing, entertainment, and travel. Forming a mock budget that takes into consideration your existing expenses, a mortgage payment, homeowners insurance, taxes, and property maintenance will give you an idea of what you can afford.
Generally, people in the mortgage industry say that you can afford a house that costs up to two and one half your annual gross salary. But that depends on how much debt you are carrying. Lenders look at your existing debt in determining how large a mortgage to grant you. Lenders are interested in your long-term debt, which is defined as any debt that will take more than ten months to pay off. If your monthly debt payments are excessive for your income level, this will limit the amount you can borrow. If you are carrying excessive debt, you may want to pay off some of it before preparing to buy a house.
Now is the time to organize all of the documents that you'll need to fill out a mortgage application. Besides your basic personal contact information and social security number, you'll also need the following:
- Employment history for the last 2 years – including title, contact info, years at job
- How are you paid – frequency of checks, hourly or salary, bonuses or commissions, W-2 or 1099, hours per work week
- Other income – child support, alimony, foster care, boarder income, military pay, car expenses, pension/retirement, disability/social security, unemployment/welfare, VA benefits
- Asset information – checking, savings, 401K accounts, mutual funds, money market funds, pending sale proceeds, trust fund accounts, gift money
- Debt information – child support, alimony, car loans, rent, student loans , credit cards

Unanswered: Upgrade SQL Server 2005 from Developer to Standard
Good day,
I have just been pulled onto a project where the original DBA mistakenly installed SQL Server 2005 and over a year ago and when I was pulled onto the project I checked to see what I was working with and noticed that it is Developer Edition.
Is there any way of upgrading SQL Server 2005 Developer to SQL Server 2005 Standard?
I have read quite a number of posts in googe but they all point to copying the mdf and ldf files or backing up the DB's and then uninstalling SQL Server Developer and Installing Standard and then copying back the MDF and LDF files or restoring the DB's.
Can anyone help? Ideally I do not want to have to reinstall.

The upgrade is possible, but you will want to make sure that you are not using any Enterprise Edition features. Check here for the SKUUPGRADE option on Setup.exe.

Look Who it is!'- Alan Carr
Being a fan of the British comedian Alan Carr, I thought I was going to enjoy this book. I found it readable, but disappointing. Some of the anecdotes during this book were amusing, but I found the almost underlining bitterness and spite Alan Carr felt, was really off putting. During the last half of the book, I almost felt like he was sneering people who have helped his career and his bragging to be very unpleasant. I even found some of the jokes he made about certain members of society to be offensive, whereas in general, I find his humour funny.
Usually when I read a book about the life of someone I admire, I end up feeling more admiration but with this book, I'm starting to dislike Alan Carr.
Do you read autobiographies? Have you changed your opinion (both good and bad) on a well known person, after reading their autobiography?

That's the way sometimes things go. Looks like he is this TV figure of 'Funny man' and when he goes home becomes a different person. I've heard this about a few TV personalities actually. For some, humour only works on TV. And there is a very fine line between humour and being offensive, especially when taking the mickey out of certain members of the community all for the purpose of entertainment. How funny (if you excuse the pun) that it shows through in his autobiography.ReplyDelete
I know you're not suppose to judge a book but it's cover - but we all do (or pre-judge at least). To be honest, just based on the cover I wouldn't pick up the book - looks like Mr. Carr made it using Photoshop at home.ReplyDelete

Why Play Therapy for Children?
Children are unable to understand and talk about their feelings the way adults do and this makes adult therapies inappropriate in meeting children's needs. Play becomes therapeutic to children as they give expression to their experiences and emotions. Children recreate, in play, the experiences that are part of their anger, fears, sadness or frustrations currently influencing their behavior. The relationship with the therapist allows children a sense of security when recreating emotionally stressful experiences.
During play therapy, children create play that resembles the difficult or traumatic experiences they are struggling with internally. When facilitated by a trained play therapist, the play becomes focused on the purposes of emotional healing.Through the play therapy process children create play that resembles the emotional experiences they are struggling with internally.These experiences usually cannot be expressed verbally.
The Play Room is viewed as the child's "kingdom" where they are free to explore and express themselves through various mediums such as fantasy play, sandplay, puppets and miniatures.
Children use toys to recreate issues that represent emotional conflicts that are important to the child. Beginning with this expression, the child's play evolves until the child gains a sense of understanding and comfort over this situation.
This leads to a reduction of symptoms (i.e. acting out and aggressive behaviors, somatic complaints,withdrawal or regression, etc.) and the reestablishment of balance in the child's sense of well-being.
Play therapists are trained to assess and understand the metaphorical content of a child's play. Play therapists use their understanding of play to increase a child's coping skills and to translate their understanding of the play to the adults involved in the child's life. In the playroom, children can safely confront their problems in a protected environment and also learn to confine, define and master their problems.
Play Therapy Can Help Children
- Take responsibility for their behavior
- Come to understand the impact (cause & effect) of their behaviors
- Replace inappropriate behaviors with more effective and successful behaviors
- Develop creative and lasting solutions to problems
- Gain greater acceptance of self and others
- Improve social skills

Here's my entry for the amazing Julie Kagawa's Iron Queen contest! Details and rules are HERE, so if you're interested, go ahead and check it out!
The grand prize is a copy of each book from the Iron Fey trilogy, each with a cute and adorable hand-drawn chibi version of our favourite characters! So get creative and share your entry with the world!
I wrote this small fanfic with my BFF Melinda, and although we are most definitely Team Ash (because the winter prince is undoubtedly the best!), we wrote this solely for Puck. It takes place somewhere after when Puck first gets assigned by Oberon to watch Meghan yet before the events in the Iron King. It focuses on the moment Puck realizes that he's in love with her.
We cut the deadline a little close, but hopefully finished in time. Good luck to everyone else that entered! Our competition is really amazing! ;)
Here's the link:
Hope you like it! :)

Soul Screamers series by Rachel Vincent
SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH KAYLEE CAVANAUGH.She doesn't see dead people, but...She senses when someone near her is about to die. And when that happens, a force beyond her control compels her to scream bloody murder. Literally.Kaylee just wants to enjoy having caught the attention of the hottest guy in school. But a normal date is hard to come by when Nash seems to know more about the need to scream than she does. And when classmates start dropping dead for no apparent reason, only Kaylee knows who'll be next...
Oh. My. GOSH.
I can't even express how much I loved this series!! Seriously. I started the first book (My Soul to Take) last weekend, and seven days later and only a few days before my final exams at school, I've finished the latest one (My Soul to Steal) and I they're all I can think about.
At first, I was a little reluctant to start. Not because the synopsis was bland and uninteresting (because it's really anything but), but because I found it kind of weird to read about a girl who has the same first name as me, when I've gone fourteen years and seven different schools without meeting anyone who shares it.
But now I regret not picking it up sooner.
First, I give this book a 5. It's just the kind of book that I love to read. The kind that keeps you up for hours thinking about it; the kind makes you question the little things in your life and compare.
Kaylee is an extremely likable character (Wow, it felt weird writing that.). I felt myself connected to her from page one. She's selfless, but not in a way that's cheesy, and has this sort of bravery about her that is really admirable. Even though she had spent most of her life kept in the dark about her bean sidhe (pronounced banshee) heritage, she thinks quick and comes up with clever plans that I hardly catch until she explains them.
Just like it's implied in the books, I find it really hard to dislike her.
Then there's Nash. Oh, glorious Nash. He's every girl's dream guy, hot and intensely protective, and understands Kaylee in a way that is heartwarming, added to the fact that he's a bean sidhe, like she is. Their conversations are so smartass that I crack up even in the most serious parts of the books, and I sigh in longing every time they touch, almost feeling exactly what my nameshare does.
They're so perfect for each other.
Maybe that's why I hated Sabine.
The mara--a living personification of a nightmare--made her first appearance in book 4, My Soul to Steal. She annoyed the heck out of me. At the end of the previous book (My Soul to Keep), I had been fresh in tears, so when Sabine entered and disturbed every chance of them getting back together, my frustration was dominant. And the fact that envy was the prime inhuman focus in that book made me stress even further.
Here's the thing though: I hated Sabine's role as a blockade and suspect, but not the person she was. It would've been easier if Rachel Vincent had made her a hate-worthy character. But she wasn't. She was infuriating and straightforward, but also brutally honest in a way that made it hard to hate her.
Believe me, I tried. I wanted to hate her as much as Kaylee wanted to, and failed just as much. Because despite her wicked persona, Sabine really did love Nash. And I believe that being a mara and feeding on given fear was really just her way of survival. She didn't want to be. She wanted to have friends just like everyone else.
And she was there for Nash when Kaylee didn't trust herself to be. That earned Sabine a few points, even though I wanted nothing more than to yell at Kay for pushing him away in the first place.
Not that I can talk like I know how she felt. After what Nash made her do, she has the right to feel betrayed.
That didn't stop me for vying for her to trust him the entire book, though.
But as much as I adore Kaylee, not hate Sabine, and think Nash is hotter than the sun (even with his flaws), I love Tod. Nash's dead, older brother Tod. Tod, who is a reaper with a sense of humor. Tod, who never fails to make me laugh. If there were teams, I would definitely have the three letters T-O-D printed all over my clothes.
Please don't kill me, Team Nash.
He's just so damn funny! Tod always shows up at the worst times, says the most provoking things, and his sarcastic comments are the things I honestly love the most. He pisses off his younger (wait, older?) brother constantly with his selective corporeality, and the way he acts as a white knight to Kaylee when she needs him most. If anyone says that they've never cracked up laughing at something he said, I know that it's a lie.
Sometimes I just wish that Kaylee would drop her bigger-than-a-crush love on Nash and stick with the hilarious reaper. If that actually happened, I would squeal with joy and shower the author with a million boxes of chocolates (No, this is not a bribe. *cough, cough*). Even though it probably won't. That doesn't stop my fangirl self from wishing.
And with the hints dropped throughout the books that there's even a slight chance at a possibility of Kay-Tod... ;D
But the thing that irks me the most is that, at times, I actually believe that Sabine does deserve Nash. Belongs with him. Like Tod said, two halves make a whole, and with Nash and Kaylee, it would be one and a half.
So I'm Team Tod forever (no pun intended).
But that's not the only thing that keeps me loving these books. Not just the characters, who I love, or the two hot brothers, who I love more. It's how there's a strict balance between life and death that shouldn't be disturbed, and how there's an exact time and date stamped on everyone's lifelines, and only by sacrificing someone else can they change it. The sense of reapers and bean sidhes and hellions other Netherworld creatures... It's surreal.
And enticing.
The storyline is original and the characters are perfect, yet still humanly (or inhumanly?) flawed. The sacrifices and deaths are saddening. The cleverness and actions make it impossible to put the books down. The danger is real and Kaylee is smarter in those situations than I could ever be.
I love Alec. And Kay's dad.
I hate Sophie, but I hate Avari and the hellions even more.
It keeps you guessing to the very end, and is anything but predictable. I cried and laughed and nearly pulled at my hair in frustration and suspense, but I loved it a lot and can't wait for the next book, If I Die, to come out!
To chalk it up, if you haven't read the Soul Screamers series yet, do it! I promise you won't regret it! :)

Mortal Instruments movie dream cast!!
I decided to take a little break with the R&R-ing -- not that I've been getting very far anyways haha -- and get to something that I just couldn't resist making:
A Mortal Instruments movie dream cast!
We all know that there's going to be a movie scheduled to be released hopefully next year, so I've decided to feed the buzz and make up the cast I believe will best fit! :D
A Mortal Instruments movie dream cast!
We all know that there's going to be a movie scheduled to be released hopefully next year, so I've decided to feed the buzz and make up the cast I believe will best fit! :D
As of this moment, Lily Collins (The Blind Side) is the only already chosen actress for the movie, but I couldn't agree more! She's so pretty and an amazing actress, so if they just dye her hair red then she would make the perfect Clary! (Although I have to admit that I would love to play the role instead -- just for Jace!)
I know, I know, he's not blond like Jace is supposed to be, but hey! He's HOT! Just dye his hair, give him green contacts and I think that Landon Liboiron (Degrassi: The Next Generation) would be perfect for our fave hunk. No offense, but I just don't like Alex Pettyfer. He's alright, but if anything, Landon is much better for Jace :)
I love Alec!! But, more than anything, I love Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson and the Olympians)! He's an amazing actor and he's super duper hottttt. With his dark hair and blue eyes, he's perfect to play Alec (though I think I may be insulting him to cast him as this character LOL)! And see him with that tattoo? He would definitely rock the runes! ;)
I have two choices for her, because I just couldn't decide! CHOICE 1:
Here's Lucy Hale (Pretty Little Liars)! Isn't she gorgeous? And she has the looks (besides the eyes, but let's not get technical) and attitude that I find necessary for Isabelle! :P
Yes, it's Selena Gomez (Wizards of Waverly Place)! Despite what most people think of her, Selena is one of my most favourite actors and has always been Isabelle for me (except without Shadowhunter gear!). She's super spunky and an excellent actress, and if you've watched Wizards then you know she can act with attitude. I'd say she's the perfect Isabelle!
To be completely honest, I'm not exactly sure who should play Simon. There's really just no one who fits the the bill for me. But Kristopher Turner (Instant Star) was the first to pop into my head. He's hot, can be sarcastic, and could definitely pull off the rocker thing, so why not? ;)
I know that Max isn't really in City of Bones, but I couldn't help it! He's just so darn cute, and if there going to make movies for the other books in the series as well, then there can't be any harm in choosing Chandler Canterbury (Knowing) to play the part! He's a cutie, just like I imagined him to be :)
Kate Beckinsale (Click) for Jocelyn Fray! Wouldn't she be perfect? She could definitely pull off the young mother character, and to top it off, she looks a lot like Lily! :)
I don't know why, but Brian Krause (Charmed) seems like a Luke to me. He has this sort of thing about him where you could see him as the kind uncle type, yet I wouldn't doubt it if he were a vicious werewolf. And besides, when I watched him in Charmed as a little girl, he reminded me so much of my father! x)
That's not exactly the full cast, but it's all I've got so far! If I have any more ideas then I'll post 'em, but that's it for now! :)
What do you think of my choices? Do you have your own?
I can't wait until the movie comes out!

Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
"Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with every one out to make sure you don't live to see the morning?
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.
Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before—and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that will weigh survival against humanity and life against love."
I hate how hard it is to write this review. I hate how every time I try to type something explaining what I feel about this, the backspace button is automatically pushed and I have to start all over again. I hate how much I think about these books, day and night, dream and wake, the deeper message haunting my dreams ever since I first picked it up.
Because it's just that damn good.
The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins was one of the special few series that make you think. They are anything but cliche, and maybe it's because this is set in a post-apocalyptic world and not some alternate universe that we've heard nothing about, but it seems so real. So true. So completely and utterly prophetic.
Katniss is a character that I had no choice but to admire because she is just so brave and strong and independent. It's hard not to look up to her. In the books, it is clearly shown that she has some natural power over people that draws them to her, so maybe that is why I like her character so much. Maybe it's the way she thinks -- selfish and unafraid to admit it. Sure, she makes stupid decisions sometimes but everyone does. Difference is, in The Hunger Games trilogy, I really didn't mind as much as I usually do.
First thing's first, this series gets a straight 4.9999999999 out of 5 -- an almost perfect score! But why not exactly perfect? Well, let me tell you.
The first book, The Hunger Games, was amazing. I devoured it in a day, it was that good! Read all through the night -- with school waiting for me the next morning, but let's not get technical. When my BFF lent it to me, I won't lie and say I didn't question her taste.
"Will I like this? Is it good? It seems kind of weird. It's not like the books I usually read." Those were my questions.
But to whoever is reading this review and decide that maybe they won't check it out just because they think it's not any good --
Go to the bookstore! Make a library card! Borrow it from a friend or whatever, just don't dismiss these books as something you'll get to eventually, because they revolve around things that we have to think about now. About problems that are strikingly familiar to our own, about the selfishness in ourselves that may just one day be the end of us. The Hunger Games series dives deep into these pressing matters and more.
The Games are a cruel, cruel joke of a punishment. I hated every second of it, and by the way Katniss describes the events that had occurred in past Games, by the events that happened in her Games, I had learned to hate it even more. Forcing kids to fight to the death in a genetically altered area in front of national television just to prove that they can is just... There are really no words to explain it. Except there are.
Collins made it so.
Catching Fire was an amazing sequel. With the way that everything was progressing, it just had to be, and I found myself holding my breath (or trying to) for the most part, so intrigued with the riveting plot that my older sister had to literally rip the book from my hands to force me to go to the dinner table, and even then I kept it open on my lap, glancing down between mouthfuls.
The arena amazed me. It was so... well thought out? Complex? Again, I am at a loss for words for describing anything to do with this series, because even though Collins' writing still has room for improvement and at times I find her to be too vague, she has a special skill that sucks you in, hook, line, and sinker to the core of her book. This sequel didn't disappoint.
Then, to Mockingjay, the third and final book in the trilogy and the sole reason for this review. I had counted down the days in the summer until it came out, and was thrilled to finally receive a copy and and finished it within a day. I was just so excited to read it!
It started off a bit slow -- then again, the first two were also very specific in their introductions, and to be honest, I wouldn't have it any other way. Although I usually re-read a book before moving onto the next one in a series, I always like it when there's a slight recap at the beginning to plunge you back into their fictional world before leading it astray.
But as the story progressed, I was a goner. Katniss was back with more spunk than ever. Gale -- whom I still prefer as her love interest against Peeta, because he was her best friend and hunting partner for too many years to just be abandoned -- played a major part in this third book, which always made me squeal. In the first two, he was only a minor character in the back of her mind. Mockingjay throws him right in the middle.
Which was perfect at fueling a fangirl's desires.
Maybe that was why I was a little disappointed with the ending. Don't get me wrong, the plot was still amazing and I felt regret and torment for almost every single character that died. And there were a lot of deaths, so many that I had started to think Collins was picking them off one by one just for the sake of killing.
But she has to be right. After all, in true war, most people do die.
That just adds to the reality of it.
Still, I'll admit I was frustrated at first, how Katniss was just dismissed and sent back to District 12 after everything was done -- after everything she did -- without any rewards or recognition. How Gale just left her after everything they went through to work some fancy job in District 2; how Peeta was never actually cured and still had some visions caused by the poison that brought his mind to fight for belief in Katniss.
But after thinking it through, I realized that Suzanne Collins was just continuing to follow through her realistic statement. In real life, the face that started a rebellion then shot a president would not be rewarded greatly. In real life, all her problems and nightmares wouldn't just go away. In real life, Katniss would be one of the strongest girls alive because I could never imagine myself in her position, experiencing the horrifying things she did, and still managing to keep a straight head.
In real life, war doesn't go away without sacrifice. Maybe that's a lesson we have all yet to learn.
So the reason for the 0.0000000001 off of a perfect rating is merely this:
The omission of the grief and remorse for all of the loss throughout the books. Prim. Finnick. Boggs. Madge. Everyone. All the lives lost and friends forever gone that I feel Katniss didn't take the time to mourn for. It's a little unfair, seeing as she probably does think of them all the time and we're just not there in her head to hear of it, but I wish there could have been a little more closure in the books so the readers could have the time to get over the deaths as well. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that I had grown attached to most of the characters -- minor to major -- and was sad to see so many of them go.
The Hunger Games series was really amazing, and no one can deny it. Anyone who hasn't read this series should definitely start, because it is a trilogy that I guarantee will take your breath away.

Torment by Lauren Kate
"Hell on earth. That's what it's like for Luce to be apart from her fallen angel boyfriend, Daniel. It took them an eternity to find one another, but now he has told her he must go away. Just long enough to hunt down the Outcasts - immortals who want to kill Luce. Daniel hides Luce at Shoreline, a school on the rocky California coast with unusually gifted students -Nephilim, the offspring of fallen angels and humans.
At Shoreline, Luce learns what the Shadows are, and how she can use them as windows to her previous lives. Yet the more Luce learns, the more she suspects that Daniel hasn't told her everything. He's hiding something - something dangerous. What if Daniel's version of the past isn't actually true? What if Luce is really meant to be with someone else? The second novel in the addictive FALLEN series . . . where love never dies."

The second novel in the addictive FALLEN series . . . where love never dies."
Over the summer, I've read so many books (all amazing in their own special way), so I have a lot to catch up on in the review department. Torment by newcomer Lauren Kate -- who had her very first book nominated in the Teen Read Awards for the Best New Author category -- seems like a good place to start.
If you haven't read the first book, Fallen, in this series, then I suggest you don't skim this review. This is the second book. Either it won't make sense, or this will spoil the entire thing -- proceed at your own risk.
My rating? 3.5 stars out of 5. It was a well-paced plot with lots of twists and turns, but several times I had to slap myself to keep from slapping the book. I have to admit I was pleased with Luce's character development and her larger awareness of others around her. After all, she had just figured out the mysterious and aloof Daniel was a fallen angel -- her fallen angel, no less -- and dealt with it much better than many teens her age would've.
Still, even though I was supremely proud of her for being her own person and making her own choices, so many of her decisions were poorly made. Luce was in love with Daniel; coming into the book, that was the only thing she was sure of. But as soon as she arrived at Shoreline, she doubted every move he made, every slip up he had ever exhibited in the past, and started to make herself believe that maybe they weren't right for each other.
Which brings me to Miles. Oh, Miles. Is it wrong for me to say how much I hated him? Sure, he was sweet and kind and always there for Luce when she needed a shoulder -- or rebound -- but it was just absurd how fast she started to lean on him. Falling for Daniel so quick was natural; they'd been in love for centuries on end. Centuries that she seemed to peg as insignificant, even with all the love she felt for him in the present, given how quick she lost hope in their relationship.
Really, Luce! Have a little faith, will ya? No one expects him to be perfect.
In less than 18 days -- the time of the truce between Cam's side and Daniel's to protect Luce -- she was already developing feelings for Miles. Yes, it happens all the time. Yes, this is a fiction book. Don't hate on me; I'm just saying how much I don't like that there is always the one boy who has to 'be there' for the main girl character when times get rough, as though she can't depend on herself, do things for herself.
It's ridiculous, really.
And Cam, whom I adored from book 1 even with all his mischievousness and being the main antagonist of Fallen, was barely in here, only for a few times saving Luce and in the end battle, although he never got any appreciation. She always quickly dismissed him (which I hated), paid him no attention (which I hated even more), and for most of the book, she still had it rooted in her mind that Cam was the only one out to get her (which I hated most of all).
But even with the lack of Cam and also Daniel (save for a few ill moments with Luce); even with characters I just didn't like such as Miles and Shelby, Torment was still a really good book. There were my fave characters from the first book that I loved seeing again (like Arriane, Roland, Gabbe and Molly), and new characters that I thought were awesome (like Jasmine, Dawn and, of course, Francesca and Steven).
Overall, I enjoyed reading Torment and aside from my minor objections with the set-up, it was awesome! If you haven't read Fallen yet (or this super-fantastic sequel), I suggest you pick it up. You won't regret it. :)
Now I'm waiting for the next book, Passion, to come out!

Rita Ora Videos
Rita Ora has been cast in Southpaw, a new movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal.
The singer, who is huge in England but has yet to break through musically in the U.S., as she is better known for her fashion endorsements than her tunes, is also playing Mia in Fifty Shades of Grey.
Still, Ora is working on new music.
"With the acting, The Voice and my second album, next year is going to be exciting," she said.
So true!

The economic storm that battered the US automotive industry has forced Ford Motor Company into a better position, chief executive Alan Mulally says.
Ford has undergone an intense restructuring in recent years that has left it a leaner and more focused company.
"We're on a clear path to profitability now," chief executive Alan Mulally told reporters on Friday. "It's probably in the strongest position it's ever been in."
Mulally noted that 2009 was an intense year for the automobile industry - particularly in Detroit where Ford rivals General Motors and Chrysler declared bankruptcy after a massive government bailout - but said the prospects for 2010 are improving.
"We feel a lot more confident about the economy," Mulally said.
Ford managed to finance its restructuring without resorting to government aid and also escaped bankruptcy protection.
But it was unable to gain all of the concessions awarded to GM and Chrysler by the United Auto Workers union.
Mulally said "we're not disadvantaged" by the situation and noted that Ford had "a long history of working with the UAW between contracts".
The automaker declined to comment on news that GM will be winding down Saab after its second attempt at a sale of the Swedish mark fell through.
But chief financial officer Lewis Booth said the problems at Saab will have no impact on Ford's planned sale of its Swedish brand, Volvo.
"We're still continuing to negotiate with (Chinese automaker) Geeley (Automobile Holdings) and we're committed to selling Volvo," Booth said.
"Volvo will be sold."
