The more we understand how our children think and see the world, the more we can help and support them. One of the ways we can do this is to think about memories of our own childhood and imagine the world from a child's point of view.
Children think differently from adults. They do not always understand situations in the same way. For example, children can think they are to blame for things that have nothing to do with them.
Here are some ideas for thinking like a child.

Pupils turn pizza makers for the day
2:05pm Tuesday 18th February 2014 in News
Tatiana Alfredo, manager at Pizza Express, shows RGS Springfield Year 4 pupils Luc Whitehouse and Kristian McCabe, both 8, how to make pizza bases. Picture by John Anyon. 0614513101
YOUNGSTERS from a Worcester school stepped out of the classroom and into the kitchen to try their hands at making pizzas.
The pupils from year four at RGS Springfield went to Pizza Express as part of their studies into all things Italian.
Teacher Neil Delaney said as well as studying the country, pupils had been finding out about food and its origins which had sparked the idea for a trip to see how pizza was made.
He said: "The class will be learning about volcanoes and Vesuvius so didn't want to miss the chance to experiment with Naples's signature dish."
The pupils from the Britannia Square school shaped the pizza dough and added toppings before sampling some of their hard work at the restaurant in College Street, Worcester, and taking some of their pizzas back to school.

I wasn't taught at school but luckily my mum was a good cook and inspired me to learn how to cook.
Once you know the basics you can feed yourself better and more cheaply than by relying on additive filled ready meals.
Fresh seasonal food wins every time, preferably local grown, but even Lidl has a good range of fresh produce at good prices. (other supermarkets are available)

KU in the news
Christian Science Monitor — Thu, 08/21/2014
Columbia Journalism Review — Thu, 08/21/2014
This past week, new Jayhawks moved in and started their first semester at KU. Madisen Pool, a freshman in computer engineering, captured one of his first sunrises on the Hill. With a fresh start, and a feeling of accomplishment for starting college, Pool thought this view was a great reminder to enjoy life. We asked Pool what his advice would be to his fellow new Jayhawks and he said, "make your time here at the university memorable. Have fun, do something you've always wanted to do, meet new people, and most importantly get the most out of your experience and shape your life the way you want it to be. Rock Chalk!" We couldn't agree more. Rock Chalk, Madisen! Show us your new experiences with the hashtag, #exploreKU.
Thanks to a KU Undergraduate Research Award (see more at http://ugresearch.ku.edu/student/fund/ugra), Sukhindervir Sandhu, a KU junior in biochemistry, figured out which genetic button to push to get a monkey flower, or Mimulus guttatus, to grow protective trichomes, or plant hair. Sandhu was able to track it down to a gene called SKP-1. By silencing SKP-1, he discovered that gene regulates plant hair growth in monkey flowers.

A woman has died from her injuries after a crash Friday afternoon in Murfreesboro.
At 1 p.m., officers responded to a crash which occurred at the intersection of Medical Center Parkway and Grantland Avenue involving two vehicles.
One of the drivers, Bonnie Murry, 51, of Auburntown, TN, was taken to Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville via LifeFlight but died Saturday afternoon. The other driver, Larry Parker of Murfreesboro, was uninjured, said police.
Police said Murry's Cadillac Deville was traveling west on Medical Center Parkway in the outside lane of traffic.
A Ford F250 truck driven by Parker was also heading west in the inside lane of traffic, just behind Murry.
As Murry's vehicle approached the area of Grantland Avenue, it began to slow as if it were going to make a right turn.
At the same time, Parker's truck began to move over to the inside lane. Police said Murry began to enter Grantland Avenue and then made a sudden turn to the left.
Murry's car was then struck on the driver's side front door by Parker's truck.
Police said they do not anticipate filing any criminal charges in the crash.

GPS vendors have not complied with a 2008 Department of Defense recommendation that called for much better filtering of signals from adjacent spectrum bands, mobile startup LightSquared told the U.S. Federal Communications Commission on Thursday.
LightSquared is at loggerheads with makers and users of GPS (Global Positioning System) over interference between the navigation system and its planned cellular LTE (Long-Term Evolution) network. That network would transmit on frequencies close to those used for GPS. The company has long argued that makers of GPS equipment are to blame for the interference because they don't use strong enough filters to keep their receivers from searching for signals in LightSquared's bands. But this is the first time LightSquared has accused the vendors of flouting a specific rule.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Last month, GPS group slammed LightSquared's new plan. | Keep up on mobile developments with InfoWorld's Mobilize newsletter and Technology: Apple newsletter. ]
The DoD's GPS Standard Positioning Service Performance Standard called for GPS receivers to filter out transmissions on frequencies adjacent to the GPS band, LightSquared told the FCC in a filing related to the agency's ongoing consideration of the company's network proposal. The standard, issued in September 2008, recommends that receivers reject all transmissions on frequencies that are more than 4MHz outside the GPS band, said Jeffrey Carlisle, LightSquared's executive vice president for regulatory affairs and public policy. That 4MHz buffer is essentially a "guard band" to protect operations on either side, he said.
LightSquared plans eventually to use frequencies adjacent to the GPS band for its LTE network, but after mandatory tests earlier this year showed strong interference in that area, the company said it would start out in a slightly lower-frequency block.
"Had the GPS industry complied with the DoD's recommended filtering standards for GPS receivers, there would be no issue with LightSquared's operations in the lower portion of its downlink band," Carlisle wrote in the filing. With its latest plan, LightSquared is proposing a guard band of 23MHz, but the GPS industry wants to keep the new carrier out of the lower frequencies also, effectively asking for an even wider 34MHz guard band, he said.
There is no mandatory standard for filtering in GPS receivers, and the FCC does not certify the devices for this, Carlisle acknowledged in an interview. The DoD document is a recommendation of how manufacturers should build their receivers to achieve maximum performance, he said. The DoD is responsible for first developing and building the GPS system.
However, "if they want to claim that they're entitled to some performance from the GPS constellation, then [the DoD standard is] the standard they need to meet. ... If they go outside those standards, they're taking a risk," Carlisle said.
LightSquared has said for several months that the GPS industry is to blame for the interference, but it did not make any claims about the DoD recommendation earlier, partly because it needed to verify that the highly technical document was still current and was considered authoritative, Carlisle said. "You don't want to say something like this prematurely," he said.

Career Graduate student at the University of Sydney, Australia
Looking back over the past 10 years, she said she "is somewhat amazed with where God has placed me." While her interests are varied, she attributes the opportunities to pursue those interests to the leading of God in her life according to his plan.
With a major in communication arts and a minor in political science, Lisanne believes the foundational education she received at Bryan, as well as the professors' commitment to challenge, encourage, and interact with students has attributed to her success in a variety of fields.
"I have had a variety of jobs over the last several years, but the tools I took from my time at Bryan have stayed with me throughout everything I have put my hand to," she said. "I loved my time at Bryan."
For Lisanne, her professors' genuine interest in her well-being as they helped her prepare for the future continues to stand out as a key element of her Bryan experience. As she's gone on to postgraduate work, Lisanne recounts that the influence of her professors has followed her.
"My professors encouraged me and challenged me in my faith and class work, and their investment continues to resonate with me now," she said. "Having the skills to speak and write effectively are invaluable in any field a person could enter."
Lisanne partly traces her exploration beyond U.S. borders to the advice of her professors who encouraged her to broaden her perspective and strengthen her knowledge of the world and all its parts.
"I remember Dr. Petitte reminding me to develop an international perspective by reading foreign publications as a way of getting an outside view looking in; it shows you just how big (and small) this world truly is," she said.
Lisanne currently resides in Sydney, Australia, where she is studying for her masters of international studies with a focus on the Asia Pacific region at the University of Sydney. While studying, she works for the university in the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, International's office.
"I work as the manager for the African region and manage the newly established Australia Africa Universities Network," said Lisanne. "This position has continued to broaden my international experience further."
Lisanne partly traces her exploration beyond U.S. borders to the advice of her professors who encouraged her broaden her perspective and strengthen her knowledge of the world and all its parts.

Landscape Artist Hits the Road Daily
by NCPR News
Dec 31, 2004 — Over the last three decades, Washington county artist Harry Orlyk has spent countless hours outdoors capturing the beauty of neighboring silos, farmhouses, fields and livestock. He lives in Salem, New York, near the Vermont border, and works out of the back of his van. Orlyk is adamant about creating a daily image. No matter what the season, no matter what the weather, he paints every day, sitting inside his truck, with the steering wheel as an easel. He says he doesn't go far because the landscape is always changing, and not always for the better. Lu Olkowski caught up with Harry Orlyk to learn what inspires his artwork. Go to full article
Tree Farmer Makes Season Merrier
Dec 23, 2004 — In rural regions like the North Country, it's not hard to find a Christmas tree farm - where you can wander around in a miniature forest, choosing your own perfect tree. But in urban areas, it's harder to get that in-the-woods feeling. Here's a story sent to us by the Great Lakes Radio Consortium's Mark Brush, out in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where one tree-grower brings a little bit of the north woods charm to the city.

New Life for Half of Kraft's Plant
Dec 07, 2004 — A half-century relationship between Kraft Foods and the village of Canton is all but finished. Only a signed deed is left to finalize Kraft's sale of its cheese-making plant to Missouri-based Bristol Manufacturing. The company will manufacture and repair bulk cheese containers under the name St. Lawrence County Manufacturing and Properties. It expects to open in the spring with 10 to 15 workers. When Kraft closed last summer, it employed 65 people. David Sommerstein spoke with St. Lawrence County economic developer Raymond Fountain about the sale and its effect on the North Country dairy industry. He says the plant's new owners want another tenant. Go to full article

Farmers Hope Summer Ends Dry
Aug 25, 2004 — For the North Country's dairy farmers, summer is the time to grow nutritious feed to get the herd through the winter. And from the layperson's perspective, it looks like the cold and rain have stunted the crops. Yesterday, David Sommerstein went out to the cornfields of the Cornell Cooperative Extension of St. Lawrence County to find out how farmers are faring.

Jeanne Salvatore, spokesperson for the Insurance Information Institute, spoke with Good Day New York on Thursday about what is covered and what isn't covered when it comes to your home.
Following superstorm Sandy, many home owners including those with multiple homes have been asking about their coverage and where FEMA fits into the picture.
First thing's first: call your insurance company, said Salvatore.
Standard home owners insurance covers damage from wind and fallen trees. If you do not have flood insurance, flooding will not be covered.
However, FEMA may provide additional assistance for those who need it but you must contact FEMA to find out what they may offer you.
Salvatore stresses the importance of contacting your insurance company before contacting FEMA.
"They can navigate the flood portion of it. Let them know the variety of damage," said Salvatore.
Also, it's always a good idea to document everything.
Many home owners feel they cannot wait for an adjustor to inspect their homes as waiting may contribute to further damage to their property. If that's the case, Salvatore says call your insurance company and tell them you have to get things out.
"Take a picture of the damage," said Salvatore.
Other tips for home/renters insurance - what is covered? what isn't covered?
- covered - wind, hurricane, tornado, nor'easter, fire, falling objects, lightning, theft, vandalism
- covered - if wind destroys roof or window and rain or snow comes in
- covered - burst pipes
- not covered - flood and earthquake (this is why you need flood insurance)
- flooding is water from the ground up that comes into your house, from ocean, lake, river, etc. flood insurance policy covers these.
- flood insurance is not required by law, but banks holding mortgage will usually require it.

I Am Alive
I Am Alive Review
Review By nachosjustice @ 02:11pm 09/03/12
It feels like not so long ago that I was ripping the long-awaited Duke Nukem Forever a new one: a game that suffered under the burden of longwinded expectations. While I Am Alive slots neatly into a similar long-gestation category, the lack of pedigree for the new IP and absence of excitable media meant that expectations erred more on the side of 'meh' than 'woo'.
Things kick off in the fictional US town of Haventon, as players jump into the boots of a man who has returned to the city to find his wife and daughter. The catch is that this is a post-apocalyptic world thanks to the "Event" that has wiped out most of the world's population and left the ground covered in a poisonous cloud of ash and, well, death.
During the pursuit of your family, you'll come across a few friendly faces but, for the most part, this is a hostile world. And this is where things get interesting. Combat is handled differently than your average post-apocalyptic game. There are rare moments when you can avoid a fight but, a lot of the time, you'll have to use a bit of real-time strategy to best your foes.
Even from early on, they tend to hang around in angry groups, with the trick being that you spend most of the game with only a single shot—or even an empty pistol—as your primary weapon. Armed goons are best dispatched first, but machete-wielding enemies can be intimidated into submission with your pistol: even if it's empty. While hand-to-hand combat is as easy as getting up close and mashing a button, things get trickier when the groups are larger and less intimidated by a guy with a gun that may be empty. Then you have to take into account that some enemies will call your bluff and run you down. Whatever you're doing in these often tense situations, it's best to work fast.
Aside from the combat, the other main unique feature of I Am Alive is the stamina system. Running, sprinting, climbing and spending time in the poisonous ground-level dust all eat up precious stamina. Use it all, and you'll have a few moments of button mashing to make that final part of a climb, or you can use precious items found in the world to score back some of the meter. If it is used up, though, it'll actually reduce your overall stamina capacity—which can also be regenerated through discovered items—and it adds a nice motivator to performing otherwise menial tasks such as climbing or moving around in the dusty world; especially considering the semi-dynamic musical cues that get louder as your stamina gets lower.
You won't get to see much of the world thanks to a permanent dust cloud that's sometimes ominous and other times clearly used to reduce the draw distance. In fact, there are a whole lot of graphical, animation and sound oddities that regularly tarnish immersion and reek of a game that has missed out on a crucial layer of polish just to get it out the door.
Furthermore, I Am Alive seems to be confused at times as to how much exploration it wants you to do. If you were to main quest the game, you could knock it over in a few hours. If, however, you want to explore the world, there's at least a good half-dozen hours to be found in this arcade title. But exploration is regularly not rewarded, while the bulk of the small side quests can be found not too far off the beaten path. There's also a harder mode called Survival that removes checkpoint retries—a controversial choice that is sometimes frustrating and sometimes forces you to weigh up your combat tactics—and limits the number of resources you'll find in the world.
It's bizarre that these side quests play second fiddle to the somewhat cliché main quest, as they add a whole new level of decision making to the game. You can take on a pair of cannibals who have imprisoned their next meal, but you might take damage in the fight and, even if you win, you'll have to use a precious bullet to shoot the lock to free their prisoners. Later on, you may be lured into the poisonous dust to save a lady in distress, who's actually tempting you into an ambush; albeit against her will. Do you use a bullet to break her handcuffs, leave her to her fate as payback for her forced betrayal or ignore her entirely as she cries out for help as you walk on by?
It's these types of decisions that made I Am Alive a compelling experience from start to finish, despite control fails, some shoddy platforming sections and occasional pathfinding woes. When I Am Alive broke immersion with any number of the aforementioned flaws, which it did far too regularly, it was easy to chastise it. But when it was taking risks and throwing me into tense situations or decision moments, I couldn't drag myself away. The somewhat ambiguous ending leaves it open for a sequel, and I hope Ubisoft Shanghai is given the opportunity to push their formula further, albeit with a whole lot more spit and polish.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
What a great name! I wouldn't say I did any "soaring", but there definitely was some dynoing. A powerful and desperate boulder problem getting to the second bolt defines this route. Vastly easier and enjoyable jug hauling gets you to the top from there. The guidebook warns about blowing the second clip, but the clip can be made from huge jugs. I think you could make the argument that most routes anywhere would put you in a bad spot if you blew the second clip!
This is two routes left of Bucket Slave.

The Chicago Bears will interview former linebacker and San Francisco 49ers coach Mike Singletary, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune.
Singletary is currently the linebackers coach for the Minnesota Vikings.
Singletary, 54, spent his entire 12-year NFL career with the Chicago Bears from 1981-92. He was a 10-time Pro Bowler and a seven-time First-Team All-Pro.
His only head coaching experience in the NFL came over three seasons with the 49ers between 2008 and 2010. In 2008, he replaced Mike Nolan mid-season and led the team to a 5-4 record. His only full season with the 49ers was 2009 when he led them to an 8-8 record.
After starting the 2010 campaign 5-10, he was fired mid-season.
Singletary has served under head coaches Nolan, Brian Billick and Leslie Frazier.
Singletary is one of many candidates the Bears are considering. The team has already interviewed, or will interview, Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, Green Bay offensive coordinator Tom Clements, Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians and Houston offensive coordinator Rick Dennison, among others.
