Very much pleased with the comforter. I ordered a comforter for one of my grandsons and the other is wanting one. So I am geting ready to order another one. I am pleased with the quality of the merchandise and the reasonable price. I buy comforters that can be machine washed because my grandsons live with my husband and I and the youngest one is sometimes not as particular as the oldest one about what he throws on the bed such as book bags, gym bags, etc.
I bought this for my son's room and he really likes it. It is soft and made well. It is not real heavy, but nice with an added blanket depending on where you live. I saw this exact comforter on a major department store website and even on sale it was more expensive than what I paid at Overstock. Great value for the money. If you are buying for a queen bed, it hangs low enough if you have a bedshirt.
My son is 9 and we are making over his room. Tan walls and this comforter --- fabulous !! He is very excited and loves it.
This comforter set fits small. You need a bed skirt.
Pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the product. I will definitely order more bedding through Overstock.com.
The colors work perfect in my son's room and the comforter is light weight but still provides warmth and is very comfortable for sleeping.
Purchase this comforter for my son's room. The comforter is very pretty and dresses up the room while still being masculine. My son likes it very much. I have not washed it yet, I hope the colors don't run. The little pillow is a nice bonus.

Star Wars
fans around the world have been dying to hear. This morning, on
, Lucasfilm released the location and dates for the next Celebration event.

Orange County Convention Center
The convention will last four days in celebration of the 30th Anniversary of
The Empire Strikes Back
Stay tuned to Rebelscum for more details as they are released! In the meantime, head on over to our
to discuss this exciting news with your fellow fans.
Official Press Release
Commemorating the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back and the ongoing, weekly adventures of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Lucasfilm Ltd. and Reed Exhibitions' PopGroup will partner to produce what's expected to be one of the largest official Star Wars fan events ever -- featuring cast and crew celebrities, fan-run events, costumes, music, live entertainment, screenings, autographs, collectibles, panels and sneak peaks into the future of Star Wars.
Star Wars Celebration V will take place August 12-15, 2010, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. A website, www.starwarscelebration.com, is dedicated exclusively to the event, and tickets to Star Wars Celebration V will be available for purchase online starting Thursday, December 10th. As always, Celebration will bring together the best of the Star Wars universe in one exciting, dynamic event!
Lucasfilm Ltd launched Star Wars Celebrations in 1999. Since then, the official Star Wars "parties" have become mega events, attracting tens of thousands of loyal and devoted fans and families. To date, there have been four Star Wars Celebrations in America, as well as a Star Wars Celebration Europe (2007) and Star Wars Celebration Japan (2008). Star Wars Celebration V will be the first Star Wars Celebration produced jointly with Reed PopGroup, which is responsible for the successful New York Comic Con, the new Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2) and more.
"We're going to have a blast commemorating the 30th anniversary of fan-favorite The Empire Strikes Back as we welcome an entire new generation of fans watching our animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars," said Steve Sansweet, Lucasfilm's head of Fan Relations. "There's no doubt that Star Wars Celebration V in Orlando will be the 'must attend' event for Star Wars fans of all ages and from all parts of the galaxy," he added. "We're also very excited to launch our partnership with Reed PopGroup, which has shown great expertise in running large, fun-filled events that satisfy fans, show participants, and exhibitors. We're expecting the biggest and best Celebration to date."
"This is an enormously exciting undertaking and a natural partnership," said Lance Fensterman, Vice President of Reed PopGroup. "Star Wars is arguably the strongest brand in the pop culture world, while Reed PopGroup has established itself as a leader in creating amazing experiences for fans and customers. Additionally, Reed Exhibitions has a strong international presence and is able to create world-class events globally," he added "We look forward to providing first-rate organizational and programming expertise for a fan-based event that is well established and already attracts an enormous audience. In tandem with Lucasfilm, I'm certain that Star Wars Celebration V will be bigger and better than ever. We look forward to many years of working with Lucasfilm."
Star Wars Celebration is the official Lucasfilm convention celebrating all things Star Wars. The Celebrations are the biggest Star Wars events held, allowing friends and families to gather to have fun and celebrate their love of the Saga. From fans who first experienced A New Hope in theaters to kids just discovering Star Wars through Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Celebration touches on anything and everything connected with that galaxy far, far away. The producers promise more interactive events than ever at Celebration V. Celebrity guests will sign in the Star Wars Celebration Autograph area as well as make presentations. The annual Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge prizes will be awarded and there will be a chance for budding filmmakers to get tips from more experienced ones. Star Wars Celebration V will feature scores of crowd-pleasing events that can be found only at an official Star Wars convention.

Quetzalcoatlus was a pterodactyloid pterosaur known from the Late Cretaceous of North America (Maastrichtian stage, about 68–65.5 million years ago), and one of the largest known flying animals of all time. It was a member of the Azhdarchidae, a family of advanced toothless pterosaurs with unusually long, stiffened necks. Its name comes from the Mesoamerican feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl.
The first Quetzalcoatlus fossils were discovered in Texas, from the Maastrichtian Javelina Formation at Big Bend National Park (dated to around 68 million years ago) in 1971 by a geology graduate student from the University of Texas at Austin's Jackson School of Geosciences, Douglas A. Lawson. The specimen consisted of a partial wing (in pterosaurs composed of the forearms and elongated fourth finger), from an individual later estimated at over to 10 m (33 ft) in wingspan.
Skull material (from the unnamed smaller species) shows that Quetzalcoatlus had a very sharp and pointed beak, contrary to some earlier reconstructions that showed a blunter snout, based on the inadvertent inclusion of jaw material from another pterosaur species, possibly a tapejarid or a form related to Tupuxuara. A skull crest was present but its exact form and size is still unknown.
The nature of flight in Quetzalcoatlus and other giant azhdarchids is poorly understood. Their method of flight depends largely on their weight, which has been controversial, with widely differing masses favored by different scientists. Some researchers have suggested that these animals employed slow, soaring flight, while others have concluded that their flight was fast and dynamic. In 2010, Donald Henderson argued that the mass of Q. northropi has been underestimated, even the highest estimates, and that it was too massive to have achieved powered flight. Henderson argued that it may have been flightless.

Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller, right, is the reigning two-time Big Ten offensive player of the year. (Dale G. Young / Detroit News)
This is bigger than the Buckeyes.
Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller is done for the season because of a shoulder injury. The senior needs surgery to repair a torn labrum.
It�s a crushing blow on a few levels:
■Miller is one of the best and most entertaining players in the country. He ran for 1,068 yards, passed for 2,094 and accounted for 36 touchdowns. He was a legitimate Heisman Trophy contender. In the statement released by Ohio State making the news official, he said he wants to return to Columbus for another season.
�I am on course to graduate in December and I want to attend graduate school, and then return to lead the Buckeyes next season. In the meantime, I want to give all the support I can to my coaches and teammates as they chase a championship this season,� he said.
It�s a nice sentiment, but after two surgeries on his shoulder in less than a year Miller�s future as a quarterback at any level is in doubt. And that�s unfortunate.
■For No. 5 Ohio State, a season that had championship hopes � both Big Ten and national � will now begin with a very different feel. The Buckeyes are still conference contenders, though it could be argued they have now ceded the role of Big Ten favorites to Michigan State. Maybe.
Urban Meyer and his staff recruit better than any program in the Big Ten. No roster in the conference has more talent. Of course, it didn�t help the Buckeyes win the Big Ten last season.
Miller�s injury makes the Buckeyes� prospects more uncertain. His presumptive replacement is redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett, a former four-star recruit. Ohio State was already entering the season with a rebuilt offensive line, looking for a No. 1 tailback to emerge, and trying to fix a defense that melted down late last season. And even with all that, a Big Ten championship doesn�t seem out of reach.
The national championship? That�s a very different story, and not just for the Buckeyes, but the whole Big Ten.
■At least one of the Big Five conferences has to be left out of the College Football Playoff�s final four. The Buckeyes were the conference�s best bet to get through the regular season unbeaten. Now that�s much tougher. A weakened Ohio State also has a trickledown effect to the rest of the conference. Beating the Buckeyes becomes less impressive.
The Big Ten needs a dominant team to emerge from a conference that has been a cut below the Southeastern Conference and Pac-12 in recent years. Maybe No. 8 Michigan State is that team. A victory at No. 3 Oregon would certainly go a long way toward boosting the Spartans� and the Big Ten�s credentials.
With Miller gone, the Big Ten could be in a serious bind if the Spartans don�t come through in Eugene on Sept. 6.

A Pro's Guide to Recital Videos
How to pick the right company and get the features you need
By Rob Rothkopf
We all know the tremendous amount of work that goes into the creation of a dance recital, gala show, or big competition number. And as the date grows near, the signs go up: "Purchase DVDs Here."
Your video is a key component of the performance experience. It's a retelling that allows for review and future growth, showcases your work, lives in your students' homes for years, and may even serve as a portfolio piece for college admission. In my company's 13 years of shooting dance productions, I've spoken with hundreds of dancers, studio owners, parents, and professionals about what they've seen, liked, and disliked in their dance videos. What I've learned can help you make informed choices about production videos.
Know your audience
Typically, there are three categories of viewers:
- Studio owners and teachers, who always want to see the full-ensemble choreography. They may want to use the video as a training tool for future classes, to recall the choreography later, or for self-assessment.
- The dancers, who want to watch themselves and their friends and who may learn from the pieces in which they didn't appear as they watch the DVD repeatedly. They'll benefit from seeing full-ensemble choreography and would also enjoy closer shots.
- The families, who want to see their own children. For this audience, the wide, back-of-the-house shot can be frustrating because the dancers may appear too small to be easily identified.
Choosing a videographer
Here are a few factors to consider when searching for the videographer who is right for you.
Experience with dance. Just as chefs develop their palates for specific cuisines, video professionals who are familiar with dance will be able to, as I call it, "dance with the dancers." That is, they can feel and understand the intention behind the dance and capture (shoot) and retell (edit) it properly. As their familiarity increases, so too will their ability to smoothly transition the shot framing as the choreography progresses during a dance. For example, an inexperienced camera operator might stay wide" or full stage even during a solo for fear he might lose the dancer by zooming in.
Commitment. Is the videographer a professional with an established company? Will this person be around for many years to meet your needs reliably as your school grows?
Trustworthiness. Do a "gut check" to see whether you'd be comfortable having this videographer around children, especially if the work involves being backstage to capture "extras" footage. If possible, ask for references from other schools.
Capabilities. Ask the videographers you're considering for samples of videos they have produced that are similar to what you envision; their work and references are the best ways for you to see their abilities. Do they shoot with one camera or more? What do they do for audio? Can they provide a backstage video feed for the performers waiting to dance? What does the packaging look like? What extras do they include? Do they meet your quality standards and turnaround requirements? Can they grow with your visions?
Raising these points is particularly useful if you're looking to replace a videographer who hasn't worked out for you. "I think many studios hold back on changing their videographer," says Michelle Spezio Ferm, owner of Spezio's Dance Dynamics in Getzville, New York, "because of the fear of selecting the wrong new vendor and ending up in worse shape than before. Making the time to search for a new videographer is important if you have discussed specific changes with the first video person and clarified expectations and then they are not met."
Once you've hired someone, communicate early and well. As the recital date grows near, stress levels will rise. Try to iron out details—including a realistic and agreeable delivery date—long before the actual recital, if possible. Requiring videographers to attend a dress or tech rehearsal gives them the chance to find out about any special circumstances (for example, a number in which dancers enter through the audience), test the sound feed, and validate camera placement.
The shoot
Part of hiring a videographer is discussing the shooting options open to you. So it's best to familiarize yourself with some basic techniques.
Camera options
Videographers who shoot properly with multiple cameras can create a polished, professional video that's far better than the "camera-on-a-stick" method (a single camera placed in the back of the house). "I like the multi-camera DVDs much better," says Janeen Cole of Hoffman School of Dance in East Aurora, New York. "It is just a more professional look; you get different angles instead of the straight-on shot."
A multi-camera setup eliminates the need for frequent zooming. By using tasteful dissolves, transitions can match the pace of the music and dance. And it allows solo performances to shine. While one camera stays on the full-stage/wide shot, another can track the dancer as she moves around the stage and a third can focus on highlighting a technique or an expression. These varying perspectives can be edited to effectively retell a performance.
Multiple cameras mean there are backups. It's live performance and there are no retakes. "I have experienced both [single- and multi-camera videos]," says Ferm. "Single-camera is fine, but there are drawbacks and one big one is what happens if the video doesn't turn out. Then you have nothing." Multiple cameras can also allow the videographer to hide bloopers, such as a dancer's pratfall or a "costume malfunction."
With multiple cameras, ensemble choreography can stay intact and closer views of performers can be shown at the same time, making everyone happy. Several techniques are possible; talk with your videographer to determine which will work best for you. "Sometimes over-production is not the best for dance video," says Ferm. "You need someone who is experienced with dance video production."
There are three common methods for shooting with multiple cameras.
Upper-half /lower-half: In a typical full-stage view the performers occupy only the lower half of the screen and the upper half shows only a cyc or backdrop. With this option, the screen can be split so that the lower half shows the full stage (all of the dancers) while the upper half pans across individual performers. This allows viewers to choose whether to watch the ensemble or close-ups. However, some people find the split screen aesthetically displeasing, and some find it distracting to have both views on-screen at the same time.
Picture-in-picture (PIP) inlay: While the main view displays the full-stage choreography, an inlay that shows a closer-up pan of all the dancers is displayed in an upper corner for a short duration during the dance. This technique is
less distracting than the upper/lower split since it's displayed only part of the time. It's more aesthetically appealing, and the individual dancers get equal amounts of close-up time. However, there are fewer close-ups due to the shorter duration. Mostly full with occasional pans: The full-stage ensemble is shown most of the time, but sometimes closer pans are shown full-screen. The editor can re-create and sometimes even enhance the retelling by doing what the audience would do; that is, sometimes watch the entire stage and often scan across a line of dancers (for example, during a kickline). This may be more suitable during slow dance numbers. An advantage to this method is that individual dancers appear bigger during the pans than with the split-screen or PIP options. On the downside, during a pan the full-stage view is no longer visible and some dancers will be out of the frame.
HD vs SD
High-definition video isn't necessarily better than standard definition. Although it does record more detail, shooting a recital in HD will offer little benefit if the end product will be on standard-definition DVDs. When the end product is a medium that displays HD video, such as Blu-ray disc or an online download, the benefits of HD can be realized. (Some videographers offer online streaming as an option.)
Keeping the audience in mind
Camera placement is an important consideration. During the show, the audience wants unobstructed views. However, everyone also wants a great video.
A camera placed in the back of the house (behind the audience) will be the least obtrusive to the audience. Consider blocking it off in such a way that attendees do not walk in front of the camera.
When cameras are placed in the house within the seats, or mid-house in a horizontal crossway, there are ways to minimize the impact on audiences. Although the camera may need to be placed a bit higher, make sure the cameraman can stay lower. Also, block off enough seats behind the camera operator so that paying customers encounter minimal obstruction. If any seats are likely to be blocked, let people know in advance.
Just as chefs develop their palates for specific cuisines, video professionals who are familiar with dance will be able to, as I call it, "dance with the dancers."
Have a plan for dealing with disgruntled parents. One time, a dad who sat near a blocked-off section (partially obstructed) actually shoved members of my video team and threatened to unplug our equipment 30 seconds after the show began.
The human eye is much more forgiving than video. Be aware that some kinds of lighting will appear harsher and more intense on video than others. Heavy use of red lighting often bleeds into other colors, making it difficult to see details on costumes and performers' faces.
LED lighting is increasingly being used theatrically due to its low heat emission and infinitely variable color combinations. On video, however, it sometimes produces a flickering effect (for example, on backdrops) and is so intense that it washes away other colors. Videographers who calibrate their cameras for typical floods and fills (which are a different color temperature) will find the videos rather saturated by the LED lights, especially when they're used to illuminate the skin. Minimize this problem by using LEDs and incandescent lights together, with the latter used for front illumination.
Don't light the back of the stage (e.g., the cyc or backdrop) at the expense of the front. If the dancers' expressions are important to you, make sure there's adequate front light.
Audio considerations
Many people now have televisions hooked into their home stereo systems and they've grown to expect high-fidelity sound, even from a recital DVD. Audio recorded from a board feed, when recorded in stereo, can have the same fidelity as the original audio, but such onstage elements as taps, claps, and singing may be missing or too quiet. An ideal mix includes the recorded audio, house audio (audience applause), and stage audio, whether it comes from boundary microphones at the edge of the stage (sometimes called "tap microphones") or hanging microphones above the stage. A videographer who records all audio sources separately will be able to boost them as needed for the videos.
The product
Once you've decided how you want your video to be shot, it's time to consider what to include, how to set prices, and how to handle ordering.
Additional features make your video more accessible and enjoyable. Consider including backstage footage of the dancers' preparations and commentary from the studio owners and teachers to capture the excitement of the day and allow the performers to relive the moment. And rave reviews make the performers feel proud of their accomplishments. Consider filming audience members' responses to questions like "How did you like the show?" and "What did you like best?"
Chapter marks allow you to navigate from dance to dance easily, while a dance index (a menu option) lets you select individual dances.
A "making of" photo slideshow of the recital preparation, the studio, or special events throughout the year can be included. "It personalizes the children and their efforts," says Janeen Cole at Hoffman School of Dance. "I have a former student take pictures at our dress rehearsals of the dancers getting ready, performing, and waiting to go onstage. The kids love it, and it will be a great memory for them to look back on."
A DVD menu can be either generic or customized with your recital artwork.
High-quality discs will minimize compatibility problems in home DVD players.
And don't forget packaging options, which could be simply a clear jewel case or full-color printed DVDs and cases.
Studios typically sell professionally produced dance videos of a single recital performance for $25 to $45, which includes sales tax. Studios that handle sign-ups and distribution often keep a small portion of the DVD price to offset their costs.
Since studio owners pay attention to the total costs for parents (lessons, costumes, travel, DVD, etc.), they need to find a balance between what they think will be acceptable to parents and the value of the services provided by the videographer. Many videographers will request a guaranteed minimum to ensure that their base costs are covered. If you're hiring an out-of-town professional, additional negotiations may include travel and/or accommodations near your performance venue.
"Videographers need to realize that people are willing to pay only so much before [DVD] sales go down," says Ferm. She adds that "many studios will pay someone to video the show and then send the video to a production service that costs very little. This gives a much higher profit margin, but is the end product worth it?"
Sign-ups and order forms
One method of DVD sales is to have a sign-up sheet at the studio, collect all video payments, and give the videographer a final count at an agreed-upon date. The videographer should be paid once the DVDs are delivered. The studio owner schedules a pickup date and handles distribution.
Alternately, you can hand out order forms before, during, and after the recital. Forms can either be turned in at the venue or mailed directly to the videographer, who handles all fulfillments, including mailing the DVDs to the families. (Postage is paid by the recipients.)
Agree in advance on the date when you and/or the families can expect their DVDs, and build in "padding time" so you don't have a line of upset parents if the date slips a bit.
Building a relationship
Loyalty is a valuable part of all relationships, both business and personal. So keep communication open and, if needed, call a meeting to talk about your needs and vision.

Many of Reading Rainbow's biggest fans were likely too old to make a lot of noise when the show was cancelled in 2009. They already knew about and loved reading and the show was more of a fond memory; who knew it was still on, anyway? Well, its current fans did. Those kids were too young to do much about it. Now Reading Rainbow, led by host LeVar Burton, is looking to make a big comeback. What can you do with $5 million? LeVar Burton says he can foster a love of the written word in a lot of children who need it. This time, though, he won't be using television. Instead, he wants to put Reading Rainbow on tablets, phones, video game systems, computers, and, most importantly, the classrooms that need it most.
They set a goal on Kickstarter for $1 million and allowed 35 days to reach it, unsure if the usual 30 days would allow enough time. It turns out that 11 hours was long enough to get to the million mark. With that in mind, they quickly adjusted with a "stretch" goal of $5 million, which they are well on their way towards meeting.
You might be thinking, how do we know LeVar Burton can pull this off? Sure, he's a great host, but making apps and other digital content is something else entirely. You may or may not know that Burton and company have already developed a Reading Rainbow iPad app, which has been received incredibly well. That app is the #1 educational app in the App Store and has been selected for countless awards in its short lifespan. They have also created an equivalent Amazon Kindle Fire app.
Unfortunately, making apps is difficult and expensive. It takes staff and expertise that the Reading Rainbow crew cannot afford. This is why they turned to the Kickstarter campaign; they knew they could make this into a success if only they had the financial resources.
What exactly is the plan here? With $1 million, they promise to:
- Adapt their existing digital materials specifically for classroom use, with teaching guides, per grade level content, and similar materials.
- Give these away to 1500 classrooms that cannot afford it.
- Make Reading Rainbow available as a subscription service on the web.
If they are to reach the $5 million goal, here's what to expect:
- Apps for iPhone, Android phones, and Android tablets. (They haven't ruled out Windows Phone.)
- Support for Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Xbox One, PS4.
- 7500 classrooms get free access to Reading Rainbow.
So, why bother? Just for fun? To allow kids to have the same fond memories that today's adults and young adults had? Burton stresses a greater purpose.
According to him, 1 in 4 children in the USA will grow up illiterate. I should mention that I've yet to see a valid citation for that statistic, something noted by other skeptics on StackExchange. It is likely a reference to functional illiteracy, which refers to people whose ability to read and write is so poor that they can do little more than handle basic sentences; this can apply to people who speak a language other than English and therefore are literate, but not functionally literate in the USA. I decided to vet further.
The National Adult Literacy Survey found that between 21% and 23% of American adults performed at the lowest level of literacy, meaning they were often unable to "identify a piece of specific information from a brief news article" or perform other basic literacy tasks like finding the "time or place of a meeting on a form." Being deficient in these skills predicted harrowing life outcomes like poverty and imprisonment. Common apparent causes were attending poorly funded schools and not owning books.
This also relates to the reason Reading Rainbow was cancelled in the first place. While the announcement from the show's home station, WNED Buffalo, stressed the relatively high costs of repurchasing the broadcast rights of the show, many others attributed blame elsewhere. NPR wrote at the time that a change of philosophy was the real factor:
[Head of content at WNED John Grant] says the funding crunch is partially to blame, but the decision to end Reading Rainbow can also be traced to a shift in the philosophy of educational television programming. The change started with the Department of Education under the Bush administration, he explains, which wanted to see a much heavier focus on the basic tools of reading — like phonics and spelling.
Grant says that PBS, CPB and the Department of Education put significant funding toward programming that would teach kids howto read — but that's not what Reading Rainbow was trying to do.
"Reading Rainbow taught kids why to read," Grant says. "You know, the love of reading — [the show] encouraged kids to pick up a book and to read."
That's a tough call to make, at least in the abstract. To focus on the "how" or the "why?" It comes down to the causes of illiteracy. While we can say underfunded and poorly performing schools may be deficient in teaching the "how," we also can feel pretty confident that a kid motivated by the "why" will be able to figure it out. Of course, we don't have to choose one or the other.
In an interview with ThinkProgress, LeVar Burton was asked that question. Which do you choose – how to read or why to read?
I wish I knew. What I do know is that a sustainable society needs both. You need to teach your children how to read, and you need for them to love to read. If you want free, independent thinkers, people who can discern for themselves, people who want to actively participate in a democracy, you want them literate.
He concluded, "for me, literacy means freedom."
This Reading Rainbow revival has not been met with unanimous praise, however. The Washington Post published an editorial beckoning readers to think twice before donating to the reincarnation of Reading Rainbow. The author, Caitlin Dewey, levels several criticisms of varying legitimacy:
- She insinuates that the show was originally cancelled because it wasn't all that effective. A claim that Burton says is, well, "bull-." (you fill in the rest.)
- The new version of Reading Rainbow is a for-profit company that exists because Burton bought the rights to the show. This is all true. She says this undermines the charitable aims and rhetoric of the Kickstarter campaign.
- Having an app for iPad currently and first developing a web app before other options precludes the ways at-risk youth are likely to access the Internet.
- Donating to a profit-driven company takes away attention and needed funds from charitable groups with similar goals and less star power.
A few of these are questionable. The reasons why the show was cancelled, for instance, are complicated and drew criticism when they happened in the midst of a major economic recession. The concern that access will only be possible via iPads, Kindle Fires, and desktop browsers appears to be one that will be alleviated shortly as the campaign rapidly approaches the $5 million goal. Dewey pointed out that lower-income individuals tend to surf the web via cell phones due to the high costs of computers and broadband Internet.
On the other hand, there is something to the critique that the charitable feel of this campaign and the fact that Reading Rainbow is now a private company are at odds. It is far from impossible for a private company to act for the common good and it is also far from rare for non-profits to become quite greedy. Nonetheless, time will tell as to how Reading Rainbow 2.0 can manage these competing goals. My impression is that while they will be donating to the pre-defined number of at-risk schools, they will rely on individual subscriptions and purchases from better-off schools for their money.
Dewey also points to the Children's Literacy Initiative and First Book as charities that are trying to do the same thing. They are definitely worthy of your donation and if Charity Navigator is any indication, you will not have any reason to worry about your dollar going to the right place.
One thing Reading Rainbow is trying to do that is unique is the same thing that made it impressive when it debuted. In the 1980s, it was noteworthy that there was something on TV that could encourage kids to, well, turn away from the TV and read a book. Now, TV doesn't feel like the same threat that the Internet does, which is why Reading Rainbow wants to be in those places.
About the profit vs. non-profit issue, Burton has this to say:
the idea that Reading Rainbow was free when it was on television is really a mischaracterization of the way PBS works. There may have been no immediate costs to the consumer, but it wasn't free. It was paid for by the government, and by viewers like you. So grab a Swatch, and find out what time it is!
In the end, he seems to put your money where his mouth is:
whether you donate to this campaign or one on a local level, it doesn't matter to me. The best thing you can do is read with a child and help to foster that love. At the end of the day, if you don't donate to this campaign, I'm not mad at you. I'm not! But if you agree that literacy in America is important, and that if we have a populace that loves to read and can educate itself because it can read, if you believe that that's good for our country, than [sic] do something to promote that value.
If you want to see Reading Rainbow come back in 21st century style, you can donate to the campaign here. If you'd rather donate to your community's groups that promote literacy and readership, you have LeVar Burton's blessing. Whatever you do, you should think about how we can use our abundant technology to make everyone smarter.

Pete and Macaulay Culkin apparently sharing a flat in Paris?
This humours me.
I'm assuming they met 2 years ago for Adam Green's Ketamine-fuelled film The Wrong Ferrari, A Screwball Tragedy. It's not bad, but don't watch it sober. You can stream it in HD here (Password: mindwheel) or in SD on YouTube.
I decided to start using Tumblr again yesterday. This is the blog which was formerly known as GangOfGin, I've not posted on this blog for two years (I had another blog for a while, which is linked) but I decided to post again mostly because I stumbled across an old archive of great early Libertines photosets which are worth sharing. Blogging, thinking back, was also an old procrastination routine I used to fiend.
I've got an exam at 2 o'clock tomorrow and so far my revision has consisted of doing question 1a from last year's exam paper. Marine Design & Production tomorrow, Maths on Wednesday, Mechanics on Thursday, then another two the week after. I've not done nearly as much revision as I'd planned to do, why was it so much easier to revise in school?
There are definitely a few factors which influence the level of motivation any person has to study. Lifestyle probably has a major impact; spending a few hours each week doing either aerobic or anaerobic exercise would improve the ability to focus as well as helping to blow off some steam without using alcohol, drugs or any other costly and consuming vice (we all have something). Inebriation is probably helpful from time to time to keep you sane but it's not worth forming a habit. Eating smart clearly helps, I think food has a big impact on the human psyche. Socialising regularly is essential. Sex helps. Having a routine helps, especially when it incorporates ample time for pleasure and leisure. Working through uni, depending on how often you attend lectures, severely reduces the likelihood of revising. I'm aware of all these theories, they're mine, but my ability to put each in to practice varies. I should have realised all this 6 weeks ago. Fuck it.
I'll head in to the library for 9 tomorrow, get a few hours revo under my belt, it'll all be sound. Better get some kip amigos, peace.

I made a high-quality color print of the first folio of the Beowulf MS (to scale), and brought it to the tattoo artist. She drew it up, and stitched it on with as close as we could get in the color reproduction. In fact she liked my story about it so much that she discounted the tattoo. 65%.
While sitting in the chair that day, I made a vow, dork that I am, to never tattoo myself again with an image not taken directly from a MS.
If you ever don't like an MS design and have to tattoo over it, then you can make the claim that your body is a palimpsest!ReplyDelete
I have a horn triskelion and a hannunvaakuna -- they may be older than medieval, though, I suppose.ReplyDelete
hello well this tattoo is amazing i like it so much cause its a fearless tattoo i want something just like that tremendous tattoo i really like it .ReplyDelete

Wild Ginger
One of the most delightful flavors in Thai cuisine comes from the root stock of these attractive forest plants.
Wild ginger a(Zingiber) has a large rhizome, a horizontal underground stem, that is swollen with food reserved.
The Rhizome contains oils and resins, which gives the pungent proprieties so essential in flavoring food.
Ginger prefers moist, well drained soils and partial sunlight.
There are different species growing along this trail system and while flowers vary greatly, the leaf patterns are similar.
Thai ginger, (Zingiber spectabile), seen growing here is commonly used in cooking as is torch ginger (Phaeomevia magnifica) and red ginger (Alpinia purpurata). All three species display lovely red and pink flowers.

Haring's Self Portrait
Created in 1989, Keith Haring's unadorned self-portrait offers a candid impression of the artist in his final years, and provides an enduring representation of his life, his work, and his iconic style. Outfitted with his trademark glasses and short curly hair, Haring's true-to-life image stares straight at his audience with a subtle smirk, exposed on the blank page.
Through his own hand, without any influence or distraction, Haring presents an open and eloquent caricature of himself, the way he wishes to be remembered.

On Monday, the Vatican announced that the 85-year-old pontiff would begin posting messages on Twitter next week under the handle @pontifex, a term for pope that means bridge-builder in Latin. Within hours, he had more than 250,000 followers. (read more)
Stephen Bell, a venture capitalist who co-founded Trilogy VC, is betting he will find the next Mark Zuckerberg in China. He tours the country's top universities in search of fledgling entrepreneurs, offering financing to students "who often have just a kernel of an idea," Ron Gluckman reports in DealBook. Mr. Bell has more than $2 million a year to invest, with plans to offer financing to 15 to 30 start-ups, DealBook says. It is a highly unusual strategy in China, especially as some fear the market may be overheated. But Mr. Bell says, "I only need to hit one home run among a hundred, and I'm doing fine." (read more)
"I do in fact know that this sounds crazy," Elon Musk tweeted this week. "But if humanity wishes to become a multi-planet species, then we must figure out how to move millions of people to Mars."
Like any big, bold idea, Musk's plan for colonizing Mars strikes you at first glance as indeed crazy, and it also probably makes your head spin a bit. How on earth, you are probably wondering, could we possibly do that? But let's suspend disbelief for a moment and assume Musk is able to build a reusable rocket that can efficiently shuttle colonists to the Red Planet. The question is: what then?
Musk, who told Bloomberg "I want to die on Mars," is concerned with the question of how to make a Mars colony self-sustaining. That would require 80,000 volunteers, Musk said in a recent speech to the Royal Aeronautical Society. Then Musk qualified that number on Twitter. We will need 80,000 volunteer colonists per year, he argued, in order to eventually reach a population in the millions. (read more)
SAN RAMON, Calif. — When Sharoda Paul finished a postdoctoral fellowship last year at the Palo Alto Research Center, she did what most of her peers do — considered a job at a big Silicon Valley company, in her case, Google. But instead, Ms. Paul, a 31-year-old expert in social computing, went to work for General Electric.
Ms. Paul is one of more than 250 engineers recruited in the last year and a half to G.E.'s new software center here, in the East Bay of San Francisco. The company plans to increase that work force of computer scientists and software developers to 400, and to invest $1 billion in the center by 2015. The buildup is part of G.E's big bet on what it calls the "industrial Internet," bringing digital intelligence to the physical world of industry as never before. (read more)
HOW do you take particles in a test tube, or components in a tiny chip, and turn them into a $100 million company?

The life of a European venture capitalist is usually pretty civilized, punctuated by trips to the converted warehouses of London's trendy Silicon Roundabout neighborhood or Berlin's stately Prenzlauer Berg district, where entrepreneurs swap ideas in Vietnamese restaurants and faux-dive coffee shops. Dmitry Chikhachev of Moscow-based Runa Capital lives a less posh existence. Visiting cloud-computing software provider Jelastic, one of his investments, means a flight to Kiev, Ukraine's dusty capital, followed by a 100-mile drive on post-Soviet roads to the provincial town of Zhytomyr—a city best known for its museum of Cosmonaut memorabilia. There, Chikhachev subsists on Ukrainian staples like potato dumplings and cabbage rolls as he helps Jelastic, founded in 2010 by a Russian-Ukrainian programmer duo, expand its business. "There are hundreds of hidden gems far from big cities," says Chikhachev. "The regional market of startups is only starting to be tapped."(read more)

23 | feminist | cis she/her pronouns | vegan | body positive | UK | gender studies student | mandarin speaker | lumpy space princess
I have most likely messed up with the vocab and terminology on that post. I am a cis woman with a very limited knowledge of the subject. I was angry and annoyed and wrote it pretty quick. In posts from now on I will always remember to check my white/cis/straight/western/education privilege. Also when I say "they just happen to have male genitals because of some fuck up with the biology" I mean something's gone awry because their sex doesn't match their gender*. Not because I think being a man in itself is a fuck up with biology.
That craaay.
*Also I recognise that some people don't have a fixed gender so that's obviously not a fuck up, that's just them. AH so not qualified to talk about this. I just hate hate. Trans women are women. End of.
Some radical feminists are putting on a conference festival thing in London to talk about feminism. They have guest speakers and they plan on talking about ways to smash the patriarchy and that. It all sounds like a nice weekend away talking about interesting things
"RadFem 2012 is women only. We respect that discussion spaces are needed free from oppression and dis-empowerment, and we assert our right as women to organise a women only space. As Radical Feminists we recognise that patriarchy dominates personal and political spaces across the globe. In turn we ask that RadFem 2012 be respected as a space where biological women living as women are able to meet and share information in a peaceful and safe environment. If you are not a biological woman living as a woman, and you wish to support RadFem 2012, we encourage you to assist us in enabling a womens space. Support a woman you know to attend by sponsoring her registration fee, or you are also welcome to make a donation."
So it's "biological women" only everyone.
You're not welcome to the conference but we will GLADLY take your grubby male money to continue to exclude you from a movement non cis-gendered women should feel 100% welcome in. Obviously they should in all of society but feminism is about fighting oppressive systems that are put in place based on sex. WELL HELLO…trans* people are discriminated against and ridiculed because of their sex. What part of that doesn't say "COME ON IN, have a seat and share my quinoa"?
I just can't comprehend WHY they would exclude any women from their groups. It's a simple concept. Trans* women are born women, they just happen to have male genitals because of some fuck up with the biology.
I hate that anyone claiming to be a feminist and to be fighting for women's rights can hold and act upon such bigoted views. I'm sure that it's not all radical feminists who think in this way and I'm glad.
…also they missed out an apostrophe in 'womens'. nah nah nah nah nah.

Southwestern Community College Head Men's Basketball Coach Todd Lorensen has released the teams schedule for the 2014-2015 season. The Spartans tip off the regular season on Monday, November 3, versus the Yellowjackets of Graceland University. The rest of the non-region schedule is highlighted by a November 29 visit from former Spartan Head Coach Jerry Drymon and Central Nebraska. The Spartans finish the fall semester schedule with a visit to Iowa Western on December 17. The Region XI schedule tips off on January 14 against Ellsworth in Creston.
With just two weeks under his belt at Southwestern Community College (SWCC), Spartan Head Coach Todd Lorensen is busy setting the framework for a new era of men's basketball at SWCC. Earlier today, Lorensen announced Tyler Bullock, director of men's basketball operations at the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO), as his new assistant coach.
Bullock, a native of Lincoln, NE, has been with the men's basketball program at UNO since 2012. He is a 2011 graduate of UNO with a bachelor's degree in business. While a student at UNO, he was a standout on the basketball team, ranking among the top 50 nationally in scoring his junior and senior years. As a junior, he was in the top 40 nationally for free throws.

Todd Lorensen, originally from Monroe, has been announced as the next head coach for the Southwestern Community College (SWCC) men's basketball program. Lorensen will succeed Mike Holmes, who left SWCC this summer, after seven years at the helm of the Spartans, to become head coach at the University of Maine at Presque Isle.
Lorensen, a Prairie City-Monroe High School graduate, heads to SWCC from Iowa Wesleyan College in Mount Pleasant, where he has been the head men's basketball coach and assistant sports information director for the past year. Prior to coaching at Iowa Wesleyan, he spent two years as assistant men's basketball coach at Truman State University in Kirksville, MO, where he helped the team qualify for the MIAA conference tournament for the first time in six years. At Truman State, he also served as a health & exercise science instructor. Lorensen has coaching experience at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and Grand View University in Des Moines as well.

Imitation of Christ Fall 2013
Over this past weekend, designer and artist Tara Subkoff gathered the hardcore hip women of New York to present her designs at the LES hotel on Allen street. Taking a breaks from all the madness at Lincoln Center and Milk Studios, the evening was a small crew of Tara's creative confidantes Chloe Sevigny, Kim Gordon, Natasha Lyonne, Arden Wohl, Lissie Trullie, and Mandie Erickson. The Inside Source attended and appreciated Tara's presentation which are usually "out of box" in terms of delivering the clothes within an art installation setting. In this case, Tara presented an Impromptu Opera to celebrated Save.Love.Give. (an organization that allows you to save on your phone bill and help women worldwide achieve financial empowerment). Pictured above is model Tarajia Morrell revealing Subkoffs secret message tucked behind one of Imitation of Christs dress.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I am a parent of a student who is currently in Cummings Middle School (2008-2009). I had 2 other children who attended Cummings also. The teachers care very much about their students and try to get the students involved in activities that not only promote education but also promote social skills and citizenship. Many children who attend this school come from dysfunctional families and/or economically disadvantaged situations. These students are starved for attention. The teachers, administration, and staff do a lot to reach these students. I had my child transferred INTO this school for this very reason.
This is an amazing school! I was recently a student there @ cumming sand had the best time of my teensge years! The security guards,teachers and staff are alwayz there when u need them, and alwayz have the students best interest at heart!
This schools` TAKS scores are some of the lowest in its district. Teachers and security guards do not have the students` best interests at heart, and many students cut class and go to the zoo, or the park!
Alot of the teachers and guards do not pay attention to their students. Yes in school but teacher and other staff members need to be encouraged to help in the lives of their students. Family life is carried into the school and children can be corrupted in school because of this reason.

Wired/Wireless Doorbell
Hey everyone,
I have a problem that I need to resolve.
There are two businesses being run out of my house and we currently have no doorbell. For the first business on the main floor that doesn't pose a huge problem, so we haven't bothered to fix it in the last few years.
Now that I'm starting up my business again on the second floor I have clients coming to the front door. I can't hear them from where I'm at and don't much enjoy sitting in the front room waiting for them (much like I'm doing right now...).
I like the idea of a wireless one, but I'm having troubles finding any that score a good review (mostly from lack of knowing where to look I'm sure). I know I want one with good range, as a receiver will need to be in the back of the second floor. Good frequency filtering would also be useful as I know a lot of people on my street have automatic locks on their cars and I don't want to be running across the house for false rings.
So, I'm looking for opinions and suggestions. Should I spend the time and money on a wired doorbell? Or should I buy a wireless one instead? If wireless, what make and model would you suggest and why?
Thanks very much for any information you can give me.
The wireless ones I used did not have much loudness at the chime.
The rate of false alarms for wired bells is probably 0.000% and there are some tricks for running the wires.
I've had success with wireless doorbells. However, for your instance I would buy a system that is a cut or two above the basic ones such as you'll find in Home Depot, etc. They all are coded much like garage door openers, so chances of spurious interference is virtually non-existant. Edwards and Trine are ones I've used. I found that even the cheapest Edwards give a loud tone that is quite audible throughout my house. The better ones are as loud as any direct-wired types. Battery life is essentially equal to shelf life in household usage.
How many houses are within 150' of your house?
By comparison, the chances of my/your house burning down, per year in the US, is probably 1 in 1000.
Regardless of the math, I have yet to hear any complaints of false ringing from any of my installations. None of them are in isolated areas; there is plenty of electronic activity around where I've used them with no problems.
But, speaking of RFI/EMI, patents to eliminate nuisance tripping for AFCIs run into the hundreds, or thousands.
IMO, wireless doorbells suck. Do whatever you can to get a hardwire bell.
If you lose even one client because your doorbell does not work, it will negate any savings from going cheap.
10' of this wire gives you one ohm but in this application it doesn't matter.
I would suggest that you use the wireless one initially, because even it it doesn't work you'll know in less than a week. Most hardware stores will take stuff like that back from up to a month from the purchase date. If it doesn't bother you enough in the first week to return it you should be good. That way it'll save you time and hopefully some money.
Cheers and please visit our website for more great ideas.
