Post subject: A Day in the Life of A Techie Homeschool Family
The following is a "typical" day in the not-so-typical life of our homeschooling family in Hendersonville, North Carolina. Our family consists of myself, (mom, homemaker, freelance writer, and confirmed techie), dear hubby (operations director of our local homeless shelter, and confirmed non-techie), and two sons, Andy (13, homeschooled since kindergarten, ultra-techie, with Tourette Syndrome) and Perry (11, homeschooled since 1st grade, mildly-techie, ultra-imaginative, with dyslexia and mild OCD).
I keep our homeschooling time on a schedule, mostly because Perry has some anxiety issues, and schedules and sameness seem to suit him. Otherwise, we would probably be much more "relaxed" schedule-wise, and go where the spirit leads, which is something I envy about those who follow an unschooling philosophy for homeschooling. Anyway, if our schedule seems a little rigid, I wanted you to know why.
7:00 Up and Adam (not sure exactly what that means), but it is what always comes out of my mouth when I wake the boys up in the morning. We have a small house, and our boys share one room, so wake-up call is very simple, with me turning on the overhead light and wishing good mornings to all.
7:15-7:30 Breakfast and second call to any sleepy-heads who have pulled the covers back up to their chins in morning defiance.
7:30-7:45 For me, this is morning prep-time to check on any lessons that I might need print-outs for, or to catch up on my emailing. For the boys, this is the most blessed 15 minutes of the morning, because absolutely nothing is expected of them, and they can get in a quick video game, piece of a cartoon, or a smidge of play with the dogs. Ah, blessed freedom.
7:45 Atilla the Mom announces chore time, and groans and moans ensue. Freedom is past, and slavery begins. Beds must be made, dogs fed, clothes put on (usually non-matching and backwards), and teeth brushed. The audacity of it all! Atilla the Mom insists on producing somewhat civiled human beings in spite of everything.
8:00-8:15 Morning Prayer. Our family is Episcopalian, so we start each homeschool day with Morning prayer from the Book of Common Prayer, followed by discussion of anything we feel is pressing, and often a play-by-play description of our dreams the night before. We have discovered a lot about ourselves by dissecting those dreams!
8:15-9:00 Perry has a daily ritual of journaling based on a given daily prompt using the Writer. He also uses the Writer for his daily keyboarding lesson and practice. He then does a Handwriting lesson from his workbook, arguing all the while, and finishes up with CNN Student News which we save daily on Tivo. We often discuss one of the headlines together, and have some interesting debates on current issues. Meanwhile, Andy checks his email, which usually contains feedback from his previous day's lesson. Andy is doing a full-time distance ed program from 3DLearn, an online interactive virtual academy. He just started the program this year, and it is perfect for an ultra-techie! He then downloads his new lessons for the day, and begins his math, which is done through the Passkey Learning system. Today's lesson is "Slope", and he is quick to tell me he will need lots of help, so to keep myself free. (As if I would actually try to do something for myself during this critical time. Hmph.)
9:00-10:00 Perry signs into
for his math lesson. We've been using Time4Learning for two years with Perry, and it has been a godsend! Perry has dyslexia and is a right-brained visual learner, so an interactive, multimedia homeschool curriculum has been the perfect answer to our curriculum dilemmas through the years. Today's math lesson is multiplying fractions, and Perry works on his own through the lesson and accompanying worksheet, only calling me occasionally when he finds himself stuck. At 9:30, Andy gladly closes up shop at math, and grabs the Writer to do his own journaling and keyboarding. He then takes his turn at CNN Student News, and again I get to have my own version of Meet The Press with my other son, who certainly has different views than his more conservative little brother. True fun!
10:00-10:15 The slave-master lets her guard down for 15 minutes, and snack-time ensues. Usually this consists of 3.5 minutes of actual eating, and 11.5 minutes of video-game playing, instant messaging with other homeschool buddies who happen to be online, or internet surfing. Whatever they figure they can get away with while Atilla the Mom grabs her morning shower and last cup of coffee.
10:15-11:00 Whip in hand, Atilla informs the boys that homeschool again must ensue. Groans and moans follow. Today is Wednesday, which means World Geography for Perry. Using a curriculum that I pretty much designed from a couple books I picked up at homeschool book fairs, I have been working through the world with Perry for the last year. Our subject today is Rivers of the World, and we will be using our Interactive Globe, Rand McNally Atlas software, and a worksheet to examine the location and properties of the largest rivers on the globe. Andy, in the meantime, is working on the next two chapters of "The Westing Game", his assigned book for 3Dlearn Language Arts. When his finished his chapters, he has to head to the computer and answer questions based on his reading, then upload them to the teacher.
11:00-12:00 Perry is back to Time4Learning for Language Arts, where he is elated to find out that his lesson one of his favorites - - an animated one by 'Lego, Ergo, Sum' about reading comprehension. He adores the humor of these lessons, and is actually disappointed when they are over. Andy is continuing working on a social studies project that pertains to his book, and he is doing research on immigrants to America before preparing a visual display about the subject in his display area at the school website.
This is my chance to do some house-cleaning, laundry, and lunch prep. Every Atilla is subject to some work, I suppose.
12:00-12:30 Lunch and more freedom. It's winter, so no picnicking outside on the deck, but we still can watch the few birds at the feeder outside the window, and the squirrels attempting to steal their booty. Freedom for all. Life is good.
12:30-1:00 Silent reading time. Perry is reading "Holes," with an accompanying audio-cassette, that he gets through the NC Library for the Blind and Physically Disabled. As a dyslexic, Perry qualifies to receive free audiotapes from the library, and thankfully, they have most of the books he wants to read on tape. Andy usually continues with the book he is reading for Language Arts, although sometimes he just cant resist pulling out one of his many programming books, and learning a little JAVA or CSS.
1:00-2:00 Atilla has put away her whip, and it is time for a little relaxed schooling now. This is the boys time to pick and choose what they want to do, as long as it has some educational value. Andy is doing digital photography as an elective for 3Dlearn, so many times we use this time to brush up on our picture-taking skills. Other times we find fun with some great educational websites, including
Sometimes we watch educational videos on Unitedstreaming.com (a worthwhile subscription for homeschoolers!), or something we have Tivoed on The History Channel or Animal Planet.
2:00-3:00 The balance to our techie-homeschool is our PE time, although we still occasionally use Nintendo's Wii Sports for our workout. Today we are heading to the YMCA for their Youth Swim, and we remember that there is an outside world out there beyond the computer screen.
Thus ends the homeschool day of the tech-entrenched Jones family. If you have any questions about any of the curriculum, products, or websites I've mentioned in this article, or questions about how our children have survived their addiction to technology, please feel free to email me at

I love these pants! I wear them over my work shorts driving in to my office. They fit just loose enough in the legs & have a zipper at the ankles so that I do NOT need to remove my sneakers to take them off when I arrive at my office.
The newer versions are a little shorter in the rise, which means they don't completely cover up my work shorts, but I usually have the matching jacket to help cover that up.

Winners of 18 straight, Heat try to stay focused
Monday - 3/11/2013, 4:52pm  ET
AP Basketball Writer
MIAMI (AP) -- LeBron James once carried a team to 66 wins. Ray Allen played for a club that won 19 consecutive games. Dwyane Wade led a team that finished with the Eastern Conference's best record.
For each, it's a footnote in seasons where no championship was won.
There's no arguing that the Miami Heat are playing better than any other team in the NBA right now. They've won 18 straight games, are sitting atop the league standings and have a very real chance of wrapping up the No. 1 seed in the East playoffs by the end of the month. While all that sounds good, it's not changing the singular priority of this Heat season.
Championship-or-bust was the thinking Miami carried into this year, and not even the seventh-longest winning streak in NBA history has changed that.
"It's not our goal," James said. "Our goal isn't to win games consecutive. Our goal is to win a championship. Right now, our goal is to get better each and every game, to continue to improve. That was never one of our goals coming into the season, see how many games we'd win in a row. Our goal is to win a championship and not take any shortcuts in that process."
Miami will try for its 19th straight win on Tuesday night, when the Heat play host to the Atlanta Hawks -- a team that's 0-3 against the reigning NBA champions this season. After that, a trip to Philadelphia awaits on Wednesday, to face a 76ers team that has lost 13 straight regular-season meetings against Miami.
Win on Tuesday, and the Heat would match the fifth-longest winning streak in NBA history.
Win Tuesday and Wednesday, and then it becomes truly rarefied air, because Miami would be just the fourth team to ever win 20 straight in the same season.
"You don't want to take a team like this for granted," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We've talked about this with our group for the last few days. It's a special group. It's a special opportunity. Nothing is guaranteed. We're going after something that's an unknowable future. But we have an opportunity, a legitimate opportunity, so we have to make the most of every day we have together."
Ask the Heat, and they'll say they respect the historical aspects of what's going on, but they'll also be quick to point out that the Larry O'Brien Trophy doesn't get awarded after epic winning streaks.
"We know what our prize is," Allen said. "And it's waiting for us."
The streak's latest addition came on Sunday night, when even on a rare subpar scoring night from James, the Heat rolled past Indiana 105-91 in a game where Miami took control with a huge start to the third quarter and was never seriously threatened again.
Sunday's win was significant for many reasons, namely that the Pacers are the closest thing the Heat have to a nemesis these days in the East, that they were 2-0 against Miami this season and that they were the last team to beat the defending champions way back on Feb. 1.
In the five-plus weeks since, all the Heat have done is take what was a close race in the East and make it a total runaway, assume the top spot in the NBA standings and become the first team to clinch a playoff spot -- not that getting one was ever, ever in doubt.
"Right now, honestly, it doesn't really feel like we are on this kind of win streak," Wade said. "We are just coming in and we're just taking care of business. We come in every day when coach calls us in, and we do our work and we come back and we just play. We're not in the locker room saying, 'Aw, we're on this win streak and it's amazing.' To us, we're just playing basketball."
So how, Wade was asked, will the Heat not get bored when the games down the stretch of the regular season inevitably become less-than-significant in terms of the East playoff race?
"Keep showing up at the gym," Wade said. "We're a focused team. We're a veteran team. We have a goal. The biggest thing for us is to come in and continue to go through this process."
The numbers during this 18-game streak are staggering.
James is averaging 27.2 points on 60 percent shooting. Wade is averaging 24.3 points on 55 percent shooting. Chris Bosh is at 16.6 points on 54 percent shooting.

Mallat SG – Clinical studies suggest that in CV high–risk patients and those with evidence of renal disease, the use of an ARB/CCB combination may be preferred to ARB/HCTZ combinations due to superior renoprotective and CV benefits and reduced metabolic side effects in patients with concomitant metabolic disorders. However, selection of the most appropriate antihypertensive combination should be dependent on careful review of the individual patient and appropriate consideration of drug pharmacology.

Feldpausch, Reid to present combined senior recital
Huntington, Ind.—The Huntington University Music Department will present a combined senior recital by pianists Antoinette Feldpausch and James Jonathan Reid at 6 p.m. May 2 in the Longaker Recital Hall of the Merillat Centre for the Arts.
Feldpausch is a senior economics and finance major with a music minor from St. Johns, Mich. She has played the piano for 12 years. Feldpausch studied with Jean Hull in high school and currently studies with Dr. Patricia Spedden, director of piano studies. During her freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior years at Huntington, Feldpausch was selected to perform in the Longaker Honors Recital and the Music Department's Christmas concert. In the spring of 2007, she was a guest musician at the Huntington University Women's Auxiliary spring semester breakfast. She has also been a member of the HU Women's Chorale and plays clarinet in the Wind Ensemble. Feldpausch will perform piano pieces such as "Thirty-Two Variations on a Theme in C Minor" by Beethoven, "Etude in Ab Major, Op. 25, No. 1" by Chopin, and "Piano Concerto in Bb Minor, Op. 23" by Tchaikovasky.
James Jonathan Reid
Reid was born to musical parents, both of whom played a variety of instruments. His mother, who is a gifted piano teacher, taught out of the home which exposed him to a variety of music throughout childhood. Reid started his formal piano training at age eight under his mother's instruction. For the next nine years, he would perform solos, duets and as an accompanist in biannual recitals. During his high school years, he studied two years of organ at a local church and participated in three piano competitions at Central Michigan University, the second of which awarded him a week of piano camp on site. Reid has been studying under Dr. Patricia Spedden at Huntington University where he is pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in youth ministry and a minor in music. He is from Lansing, Mich. Reid will perform "Sonata in C Minor, K 457" by Mozart, "Nocturne in Bb Minor, Op. 9, No. 1" by Chopin, and "Valsas Brasileiras" by Mignone.
Feldpausch and Reid, along with Jennifer Jehl and Tana Denning, also will perform the "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2" with two pianos eight hands.
There is no charge for the recital, and it is open to the public.

Fort Kelly, TT
Following our secession from the United States of America last October the wonderful nation of Twins Territory has been savoring the sweet nectar of freedom bestowed upon us by our one and only glorious leader: Joeseph Mauer.
While the Supreme Chairman surprised many by announcing his transition
Remember you can vote for which Twin was amusing enough to merit inclusion in our special Peanuts from Heaven Hall of Fame by visiting our regular blog.
By now, you may well have heard about the Brewers' newest addition, an adorable stray dog the team has adopted named Hank.
Because dogs take a lot of time and energy to own (and are an unreasonable expenditure of payroll) the Twins will not be following suit. However, our own cat Mini has agreed to be an adorable representation
If you'd like to vote for the Peanuts from Heaven Hall of Fame, check out our original blog and all the nerdery and entertaining images associated with it.
Once again the sounds of horsehide hitting leather mitts is resounding throughout the sunny fields of Arizona and Florida, and if we ever get to turn off our snowblowers we might just hear it up here in the towns teams call home during the summer.
As is our custom every year at this time, we're spending part of spring
5 years ago, I got a special birthday present from my fellow Twins blogger and long time friend: tickets to Twins Fest at the Metrodome. I was pretty darned pumped to go, both because it was Twins fest and because I had a serious crush on her.
The Twins had just completed a surprisingly effective 2008 campaign and we had every reason for optimism going into 2009, and all kinds of excitement for the impending move to Target Field in just one year. We went. We met Gardy. We found
In one week, the Hall of Fame will announce who (if anyone) was elected to Cooperstown. There are a privileged few who get to vote for those hallowed halls, but just because most bloggers don't have a say, doesn't mean we can't use our blogs to have a say about literally everything else, including silly little exercises in analyzing Hall of Fame voting.
Last year I offered an economist's sense of how to vote in order to maximize your ballot. This year, as I continue to avoid

AMD Publishes R600 and R700 3D Code
Close to year's end, U.S. chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has released the Linux code for its ATI R600 and R700 microprocessors.
As the Phoronix hardware portal announces, AMD is delivering to open source developers, through the release of the code, the tools to support 3D for all ATI graphics processors, even for the newest cards. Per the announcement, "For end-users, today's releases are a significant milestone in the step towards open-source ATI 3D support on the Linux desktop." Also, "there is a chance" that the Linux distro will be available the second quarter of 2009 and include the 3D support.
Developers having been waiting for AMD's announcement since the ATI graphics processors first started to appear on the market. The California chipmaker acquired the ATI graphics specialists in October 2006 and adopted a strategy in September 2007 to release documentation for its ATI drivers under Open Source licensing. The first free drivers in cooperation with Novell appeared shortly thereafter and AMD released documentation for further processors in February 2008, albeit under a non-disclosure agreement.
Phoronix explained why it took almost 15 months to release the R600 documentation: "[AMD coworkers] John Bridgman and Alex Deucher have been working on deciding what code or documentation is needed for programming, sanitize it of any information not relevant to bringing up the 3D engine, remove any details concerning future ATI hardware, and then getting all of this work cleared by AMD's lead software and hardware architects so that it can be publicly released without any NDAs or other string attached."
The currently released documentation focuses solely on the 3D engine, but AMD promises further specifications, such as for the Unified Video Decoder. The code has been available up to now for free in various git repositories at the freedesktop.org website.

If you named your child after the place you met
I was just reading about twins Leon thomas and Elodie Nova who were named so because there parents met at a kings of Leon concert (Elodie rhyming with melody for musc) thought it would be fun to see what names others came up with based on where you met your partner (or had your first date)
So we met at an irish pub called Kitty O'Sheas, while the rugby was on. (June) It was in Courtney Ave in Wellington, NZ. We both drank Killkenny.
Our first date was at the movies, we saw Shrek.
So potential names:
Katherine, caitlin, cathleen et al,
Wellington/ Ellington
Zephyr/ Zephyrine (Wellington is the Windy City)
June, Juno, Junie
Odeon (movie theatre)
Clover (emblem of Ireland)
Fern (emblem of Nz)
Based on this my preference for a girl boy sibset would be
Katherine (nn kitty) Zephyrine and Ellington O'Shea
( I actually really liked Clover June but couldn't find a boys name that worked with it!)

Well, it'd be pretty weird, as the first time I met my girlfriend was in my sister's bed! xD (Sleepover), which is in North Jutland, Denmark and on our first date, we ate pizza and had fizzy drinks and that was in Mid Jutland, in a city, at a little kebab house, named "Kebab Pizza House". She had an Magerita pizza, as she is a vegetarian and I had a.. Well.. Kebab pizza with onions.
Ugh.. Let's see. If we take after the locations, it'd be:
Leda (From Overlade)
Olive (From Overlade)
Oliver (From Overlade)
Henry (Herning, was where we had the first date)
Nerys (Herning)
I'd probably go with Leda Nerys and Henry OliverProud creator of Emmanuelle, Alicia, Nicodemus, Eamon, Andrew, Seventeen, Aurel, Blodfyr & Idra
