This soup is what I make for my family every Christmas Eve. I love using the crock pot, especially during the holidays. To cut down on time, I always use frozen hash browns- (diced, not shredded) for the 6 cups of potatoes. I've also added cheddar cheese along with the Velveeta cheese.This soup is delicious served in bread bowls.

The Vibe for Spring 2013
In the age of grungy hipsters and recession chic, Alber Elbaz has designs on a more decadent tomorrow. Lanvin's spring collection takes postmodern calling cards like dark, solid colors and pencil ties and renders them on flowing, draping cuts, brought in at the waist for a belted, tunic-esque silhouette. Undeniably lux fabrics make their appearance on floral-printed shirt-and-pant combos and shiny silver suits, and outerwear comes hooded and cloaked, for a futuristic journeyman aesthetic in keeping with the casual, utilitarian tailoring. If Major Tom ever made it back for some shore leave, this is what he'd pack in his weekend bag.

Taken as a whole, the excitement surrounding communications technology today is intoxicating. It seems as if every day brings forth some new some new company announcing its use of telecommunications hardware, software, digital technologies, and computer networking in some combination for stimulating the economy and improving the individual and collective quality of life.
The truth of the matter is sobering. The U.S. lags seriously behind other developed nations when it comes to the deployment, capacity, accessibility, and robustness of its telecommunications infrastructure. Japanese and South Koreans, for example, enjoy universal broadband at downstream data speeds to homes 2-3 times faster than Americans (the average downstream data speed to residential consumers in the U.S. is ~ 11 Mbps).
U.S. telecom corporations claim they too can provide quality of service ('QoS') at levels and pricing points comparable to that in other industrialized nations. However, the U.S. market is a vast physical space that presents a number of challenges private enterprise appears unable by itself to meet. As recently as 2009, American politicians, scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and consumers argued over the definition and establishment of universal broadband service. The result was a minimalist mashup of regulations and benchmarks known as the National Broadband Plan ('NBP'). Created as a roadmap to universal broadband for Americans, the NBP is nonetheless vulnerable to the machinations of America's telecom oligarchy.
The NBP focused on addressing two aspects of America's digital divide: accessibility and affordability. The goal for accessibility, IIRC, is 4 Mbps downstream/1 Mbps upstream be available to 97-98% of the continental U.S. by 2016. Affordability wasn't defined in dollars and cents by the NBP as much as implied as a positive natural outcome of market competition. Accordingly, no singular topology was recommended or given preference among fixed-wire (incl. cable and fiber), wireless (satellite, Wi-Fi/WiMAX, and cellular), and hybrid systems. Both the F.C.C. and Congress provided scant direction on devices for connecting to the Internet; e.g., there is no requirement that Device 'A' purchased from Vendor 'B' be able to operate across Networks 'C', 'D', or 'E', or that Networks 'C', 'D', or 'E' permit access to Device 'A' from any vendor.
Effectively, the Federal gov't permits telecoms wide latitude in the operation of their broadband networks as if competition truly exists in the market. It does not. Consider that today's fixed-wire and wireless telecoms evolved from local cable monopolies and remnants of the Bell System. Given the reality fixed-wire and wireless systems are capital intensive to build and maintain establishing them as legal monopolies is both logical and practical. But legal monopolies are customarily obliged to satisfy a number of requirements guaranteeing public access. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 did not fully uphold that philosophy, thereby dramatically altering the relationship between territorial monopolies and consumers in favor of businesses. Deregulation of the telecom industry opened the door for companies like Comcast and Bell South to acquire then consolidate operations across county and state boundaries whereby they could assimilate or destroy competition from then-nascent Internet service providers (ISPs) and cellular phone networks, including CompuServe and Cellular One. With their new, virtual monopolies in place and protected by legacy territorial agreements, the telecom providers rolled out services as determined by short-term, bottom-line driven agendas. The lack of competition has given them license to employ tactics like using up excess supply ahead of addressing (consumer) demand. Cable broadband providers' wielding of monopoly-like power also explains how they are able to market the latest innovations in the most affluent neighborhoods while foregoing service to other, mostly low-income communities. Their mobile phone subsidiaries follow a nearly identical business model.
The question is how a nation sustains such wide discrepancies between 'haves' and 'have nots' with 93-94% broadband 'coverage' of the continental U.S. but ~70% residential broadband penetration. Part of the answer is pricing; approximately 2/3rds of consumers who want but do not have broadband cite retail broadband prices as unaffordable. Enter the mobile phone industry with their cellular-based radio channels updated with digital technology and phones capable of handling data as well as voice services. Cellular networks are far less expensive for companies to deploy and maintain than fixed-wire networks. However, they feature much slower data speeds and compatible devices tend to be both more expensive and less capable. (The average term price for a '4G LTE' smartphone is more than for an Internet-ready netbook PC equipped with Wi-Fi and productivity software.)
Some of our nation's broadband providers are proposing their cellular phone networks as the solution to the challenges with modernizing America's telecom infrastructure. Rebranding themselves as 'mobile network operators' ('MNOs'), companies including AT&T and Verizon Wireless want to expand their grids of terrestrial radio repeaters ('cells') while adding radio frequencies (repurposed from other uses, including over-the-air television) to achieve the coverage standards put forth by the NBP. But the MNOs also claim consumer demand on their networks is growing at a rate where they'll soon run out of capacity. Their plans for the future depend on the Federal gov't reassigning or repurposing more of the light spectrum from existing broadcasters, white spaces, etc., as the total amount of spectrum available for any use at any given point in time is finite. While their proposition is theoretically plausible – Sprint, AT&T, Verizon Wireless, and T-Mobile are among the MNOs who currently offer '4th generation' (or, '4G') wireless broadband service meeting the NBP's benchmarks over portions of their cellular networks – and certainly expedient to their economic interests, it's an open question whether a repurposing of spectrum as the MNOs desire is warranted, efficient, or in the best interests of consumers.
As U.S. MNOs publicly warn of an impending wireless spectrum crunch, they admit privately Wi-Fi is 90+% under capacity (!). Moreover, industry executives and systems engineers are aware most wireless data transfer occurs over the faster, more robust, open, and free-to-use Wi-Fi networks. The fact that only one U.S. broadband provider is aggressively developing solutions around Wi-Fi/WiMAX technologies suggests innovation for innovation's sake is not among the industry's priorities. Considering the size of the mobile wireless market already controlled by the MNOs, collective resources at their disposal, emphasis on proprietary, yet cost-prohibitive fixed-wire, cellular-, and satellite-based broadband networks (with industrial-age business models), and limited remaining spectrum available for development, it stands to reason we consider the nation's telecoms have virtually no incentive to build a world-class system on par with today's Japan or South Korea. America's digital divide doesn't appear to be shrinking as much as it looks like Digital Divide 2.0 is emerging.
The urgency with which U.S. telecoms are pushing new products and services at consumers therefore represents somewhat of a consumer scam. A rethinking of the nation's telecommunications policy is needed; one that introduces legitimate competition to the industry and provides robust protections for consumers. A wholesale regulatory overhaul isn't necessary as much as reforming existing laws as to facilitate their enforcement, with special emphasis on requiring 'open' systems of fixed-wire and wireless network operators and raising net neutrality standards. The American public should not support a further repurposing of spectrum by the government for any proprietary usage until the telecom sector demonstrates alternatives for achieving universal broadband coverage are found to be impractical, unaffordable, or have been otherwise exhausted.

- Turn off your phone, remove the battery, wait 5 seconds and then re-insert the battery. Make sure you do this or the following steps will not work!
- Hold the Volume DOWN button and turn the phone on while keeping the Volume DOWN button pressed for at least 10 seconds. Your phone should freeze on the splash screen (fastboot mode).
- Connect your phone to your computer. Your computer should find a new device.
- Open the folder "UnlockTools" found on your Desktop and double click on check_bootloader.bat. This will both verify that the connection to your phone is working and that you have a bootloader that needs to be unlocked.
- From the same folder double click unlock_bootloader.bat and when prompted enter the 16-digits unlock code you received from Huawei.
- The phone will execute some checks, restore factory settings and finally reboot (this may take while)
To verify that your bootloader has been unlocked, put your phone into fastboot mode and run check_bootloader.bat again.
It should display "Bootloader Lock State: Unlocked"
Step 3: Flash custom recovery
We will now flash the TWRP v2.5 custom recovery for Y300.
Note: TWRP is a custom recovery with similar features like ClockworkMod but with the ability to be controlled by touch interface. Find more information on the developers page.

- From the folder "UnlockTools" run flash_recovery.bat and follow the steps.
- When the recovery has been flashed successfully, your phone will reboot (this may take a while).
Note: For future use of TWRP recovery, you may disable the option Settings -> Fastboot on your phone. That way, you don't need to remove the battery before booting into recovery. Your phone will boot up a little slower though.
Step 4: Flash SuperSU tool
Finally we will install the latest SuperSU tool.
- Copy "SuperSU-v2.00.zip" to the root of your SD card.
- Turn of your phone. Hold the Volume UP and Power button simultaneously until the TWRP recovery menu is displayed.
- In the TWRP menu choose "Install" and navigate to "SuperSU-ROOT.zip" in the root of your SD card. Once the installation has finished choose "Reboot system" to reboot your phone.
All Done! If there is a SuperSU icon on your phone, it means the root process was successful.

Beyond the valleys, green and grand,
Peek the frightened eyes of the weak colossal Stan,
the giant boy of infant lands.
Stan grasps with Herculean hands the pinnacle peaks,
Clutching feebly with avalanche force.
It's azure bulky hides his enormous and titanic hulk
From the frightening lights of the big small city.
Stan's fantastic feet,
Like ocean liners parked in port.
His colossal thighs,
Like thunderous engines resting silently for a storm to come.
His tremendous teeth like hoary skyscrapers shaking in an earthquake,
like a heavenly metropolis quivering beneath a troubled brow,
above a wet Red Sea of silent tongue.
Stan, insecure in his cyclopean mass,
Feels fear for his future beyond the warm chill range of the bowl-like hills
That house his home and heart.
Stan fears a fall filled with
Judging eyes,
Whispered words,
Of mockery and shame.
How could city slick students stand Stan's pine scented skin?
His dew dropped pits dripping down in rivulets turned to rivers!
And what does a giant know of school and scholarship?
What can mere tests, of paper and pen, say
For the poor and friendless figure who quakes and sighs
Behind the too small mountain looming high over
A big small city to which young Stan has never been?
SFSqueeCast, vague positivity, Charles Tan, SFFaudio could use more positivity, Hypnobobs, Batman, weird fiction, Peter Cushing, The Gorgon, Christopher Lee.

The SFFaudio Podcast #213 – READALONG: The Cyberiad: Fables for the Cybernetic Age by Stanisław Lem
Filed under: Podcasts
The SFFaudio Podcast #213 – Scott, Jesse, and Tamahome talk about the Audible.com audiobook The Cyberiad: Fables for the Cybernetic Age by Stanisław Lem
Talked about on today's show:
reality shows, Duck Dynasty, about words, puns, rhyming, nothing, negative, was Lem a robot?, modern or timeless?, H.G. Wells, full of great ideas, fables, fairy tales, The Brothers Grimm, royalty,
"Have it compose a poem- a poem about a haircut! But lofty, tragic, timeless, full of love, treachery, retribution, quiet heroism in the face of certain doom! Six lines, cleverly rhymed, and every word beginning with the letter S!!" …
Seduced, shaggy Samson snored.
She scissored short. Sorely shorn,
Soon shackled slave, Samson sighed,
Silently scheming
Sightlessly seeking
Some savage, spectacular suicide."
shooting an arrow at a barn, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams, Robert Sheckley, robots, the Google Doodle tribute to Stanisław Lem, a metaphor for our reality, the Wikipedia entry on Fables, Aesop's Fables, Eric S. Rabkin, Scott is interested in Lem, Karol Wojtyła (aka Pope John Paul II), Poland, a small interesting country, Memoirs Found In A Bathtub, Audible's audiobook, why did Jenny "Lem" this Lem?, Fox is not necessarily always the same fox, distant past? distant future?, "mostly harmless" palefaces, Princess Crystal, everybody's a robot, a suitable suitor,
"Your Highness, my name is Myamlak and I crave nought else but to couple with you
in a manner that is liquid, pulpy, doughy and spongy, in accordance with the customs of
my people. I purposely permitted myself to be captured by the pirate, and requested him
to sell me to this portly trader, as I knew the latter was headed for your kingdom. And I
am exceeding grateful to his laminated person for conveying me hither, for I am as full of
love for you as a swamp is full of scum."
The princess was amazed, for truly, he spoke in paleface fashion, and she said:
"Tell me, you who call yourself Myamlak the paleface, what do your brothers do
during the day?"
"O Princess," said Ferrix, "in the morning they wet themselves in clear water, pouring
it upon their limbs as well as into their interiors, for this affords them pleasure.
they walk to and fro in a fluid and undulating way, and they slush, and they
slurp, and when anything grieves them, they palpitate, and salty water streams from
their eyes, and when anything cheers them, they palpitate and hiccup, but their eyes
remain relatively dry. And we call the wet palpitating weeping, and the dry—laughter."
"If it is as you say," said the princess, "and you share your brothers' enthusiasm for
water, I will have you thrown into my lake, that you may enjoy it to your fill, and also I
will have them weigh your legs with lead, to keep you from bobbing up …"
"Your Majesty," replied Ferrix as the sage had taught him, "if you do this, I must
perish, for though there is water within us, it cannot be immediately outside us for longer
than a minute or two, otherwise we recite the words 'blub, blub, blub,' which signifies our
last farewell to life."
"But tell me, Myamlak," asked the princess, "how do you furnish yourself with the
energy to walk to and fro, to squish and to slurp, to shake and to sway?"
"Princess," replied Ferrix, "there, where I dwell, are other palefaces besides the
hairless variety, palefaces that travel predominantly on all fours. These we perforate until
they expire, and we steam and bake their remains, and chop and slice, after which we
incorporate their corporeality into our own. We know three hundred and seventy-six
distinct methods
of murdering, twenty-eight thousand five hundred and ninety-seven
distinct methods of preparing the corpses, and the stuffing of those bodies into our bodies
(through an aperture, called the mouth) provides us with no end of enjoyment.
the art of the preparation of corpses is more esteemed among us than astronautics and is
termed gastronautics, or gastronomy—which, however, has nothing to do with
"Does this then mean that you play at being cemeteries, making of yourselves the
very coffins that hold your four-legged brethren?"
the poet robot,
Trurl adjusted, modulated, expostulated,
disconnected, ran checks, reconnected, reset, did everything he could think of, and the
machine presented him with a poem that made him thank heaven Klapaucius wasn't
there to laugh—imagine, simulating the whole Universe
from scratch, not to mention
Civilization in every particular, and to end up with such dreadful doggerel! Trurl put in six
cliche filters, but they snapped like matches; he had to make them out of pure corundum
steel. This seemed to work, so he jacked the semanticity up all the way, plugged in an
alternating rhyme generator—which nearly ruined everything, since the machine
resolved to become a missionary among destitute tribes on far-flung planets. But at the
very last minute, just as he was ready to give up and take a hammer to it, Trurl was

of doing one or the other, it eats its way into the Universe, turning cinders and flinders of
stars into toilet seats, pegs, gears, cigarette holders and pillowcases, and it does this
because, unable to fathom the Universe, it seeks to change that Fathomlessness into
Something Fathomable, and will not stop until the nebulae and planets have been

Kelly relieved of Executive Director duties by NHLPA
|08.31.09 at 10:47 am ET
Boston native Paul Kelly's highly successful two-year run as the Executive Director of the NHL Players Association came to a stunning close early Monday morning when the NHLPA Executive Board "overwhelmingly" voted to relieve Kelly of his executive duties.
The news was first reported by tsn.ca directly after Kelly was informed of the decision at roughly 3:30 a.m. in Chicago after waiting all day while the NHLPA's Executive Board met about Kelly's leadership. The Executive Board deliberated for nearly 10 hours while Kelly waited outside the meeting room with staunch union supporters like Glenn Healy and Pat Flatley.
Flatley reportedly resigned from his NHLPA position immediately following Kelly's dismissal.
No reason was given for Kelly's removal, and the NHLPA did release a statement on Friday morning. The board said they would immediately form a search committee to identify and interview new candidates. The NHLPA Executive Board consists of player representatives from each of the 30 NHL teams, and those reps made the Friday morning announcement at their annual meetings in Chicago.
The NHLPA released a statement addressing the firing: "Following the Executive Board's review of the overall operation of the NHLPA, it was decided that Paul Kelly should no longer continue to serve as Executive Director. We appreciate Mr. Kelly's service to our Association."
Kelly was hired on Oct. 24, 2007 and came into the position discussing the "exciting and prosperous" new era of the NHL and the NHL Players Association as the organization's fourth Executive Director. Kelly was a very successful trial lawyer in Massachusetts and spearheaded the five-year trial and prosecution of former NHLPA Executive Director Alan Eagleson on racketeering and fraud charges.
That role raised Kelly 's stature within the NHLPA's decision-making body, and ushered in the Boston native to replace former Executive Director Ted Saskin when he was ousted in 2007.

Urge Illinois Governor Pat Quinn to Grant Clemency to Anthony Dansberry!
Anthony Dansberry is serving a 75-year sentence for a robbery and murder he didn't commit. He was convicted based on extremely shaky identification evidence and a typed confession that he signed under the mistaken belief that the papers he signed would secure his release. Because there is no physical evidence for DNA testing, Anthony's best hope of being released is clemency from Governor Quinn.
Anthony was just 27 at the time of his arrest and had no prior criminal record or history of violence. Four eyewitnesses viewed a lineup that included Anthony, and only one witness – who had previously seen Anthony's photo in a photo array - picked him out. Another witness said that Anthony was definitively NOT the perpetrator.
Anthony has a low IQ and the reading comprehension of a first grader. The so-called confession uses words like "viaduct" and "southbound," which are not words in his vocabulary. Anthony has always maintained that he was told that the papers he signed were for his release. His aunt has corroborated his account saying that he told her when he was eventually given an opportunity to call her after his arrest that he had signed "release papers." The Center on Wrongful Convictions, which is representing Anthony, has produced a short video about his case here.
Please urge Governor Quinn to exercise his clemency power and release Anthony.
Traffic Stop Leads to Deportation of Illinois Father
The police officer arrested him, and threatened to take away his car. When Octavio told him that under Melrose Park law he could not do that, the officer replied: An immigrant will not tell me about my country's laws. Octavio was taken to jail. Octavio was released almost immediatly, but 3 weeks later several immigration agents showed up at his house and detained him. He is now being held in Dodge County Facility in Wisconsin.
I just signed a petition in support of Octavio, a father and worker living in Melrose Park, Illinois. Each signature lets immigration know that he has a community of people supporting him.

Ashta pointed out that the First Amendment of the United State Constitution afforded citizens the right not to speak.
"This section of the agenda says Pledge of Allegiance, and I feel like we're compelling people to speak," Ashta explained. "So you either stand up and say it or you don't, but either way you're making a statement. If you come to the meeting, you don't have a choice but to make a statement."
"I'm not entirely sure it's accurate to say this is a personal choice, but more of a duty. I have an obligation as an elected official to uphold the constitution," he continued. "I have a sincere, serious relationship with the law. I study law and constitutional law is of particular interest to me. I think the Constitution is what makes this country great and worth making sacrifices for. Countries with weak constitutions usually don't last."
"It really saddens me when I hear people say that they think what I'm doing is disrespectful… I do appreciate the sacrifices people have made so that I can be here at this meeting. I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable. I have no objections to people who do stand for the pledge."
ADM last year reported net sales of about $90 billion. Over the decades, it has been the beneficiary of billions of dollars in federal subsidies and other programs. That makes the $1.2 million a year in job-creation Illinois tax credits for which the company has applied as part of an anticipated in-state relocation of its global headquarters to Chicago look like a glorified "25 cents off" offer.
Yep. A company with a $24 billion market cap is haggling over a $24 million, 20-year incentive from a state that's teetering on the edge of insolvency. Then again, that's how she got rich, dearie.
Hey you stupid black n——- b——, how does it feel to walk in an all-white neighborhood?" Diamond, 45, yelled from his porch, according to a police report. The woman said she kept walking and Diamond yelled, "You hear me? You must be from Englewood," the police report states.
The woman, who was wearing a nurse's uniform and had a stethoscope around her neck, told Diamond, "I'm not from around here" and said she worked at Resurrection Medical Center.
Diamond, who is white, then got off the porch and ran after her, screaming, "If I see you in my neighborhood again, I'm going to rape you and hang you from a tree," the police report said.
"He jumped off his porch and chased me down," the woman said. He tried to grab her but she was able to get away, she said.

Vigorously support women's rights by fully engaging in efforts to ratify the 1972 Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). | We the People: Your Voice in Our Government
There are currently 35 states that have ratified the ERA and legal analysis suggests we may need just three more states for women to have equal rights under our Constitution. We ask you to support our efforts nationwide, particularly in the states that have not yet ratified the ERA: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, N. Carolina, Oklahoma, S. Carolina, Utah, and Virginia. We also ask you to place your full support behind Congressional legislation to eliminate deadlines on the original 1972 ERA. It is time our Constitution protects the rights of women, and women need and deserve active participation in ERA advocacy from the White House.
It is clear that Tammy Duckworth makes Joe Walsh feel inadequate. Whether it is because of her military service, because he has nothing comparable to run on or talk about, or simply because she is a woman is unclear. However, his "Ashleigh, Ashleigh" extravaganza strongly suggests that it is women who make him feel inadequate. In any case, it follows a pattern that indicates that Walsh has severe issues with women. Personally, I suspect they make him feel inadequate because he is inadequate.

How to Get The Best Hotel Deals In The World?
When you plan for a holiday, the first thing that comes to your mind is where you are going to stay. And since you are going to plan about not just staying but also what food you will eat and what places you will go to for sightseeing, you need someone to help you get the best hotel deals in any part of the world you go to. Now you can get all the information you need with hoteldealsite.com
How the website works?
The website hoteldealsite.com helps you to compare prices from the major websites that cater to hotel bookings. This means all you have to do is to mention where you want to go and when you intend to go and you get a quick summary of the cheapest prices possible for all the major hotels in the world. This makes it possible for you to compare, decide and make your hotel bookings within your budget and also at the cheapest prices for any location and time of the year.
One more reason why we believe you should consider this website is that it also helps you understand how much you will end up paying in taxes and booking fees; something that most other hotel websites don't tell you upfront.
Our opinion on this website
The problem with most hotel bookings is that we often end up deciding a deal and then find something else that was either cheaper or had more entertainment. This usually happens when we don't get to compare and choose the hotel deals according to our requirements and budget. This website now solves all these problems in a jiffy. You can simply specify the number of guests, the city and the dates for check-in and check-out and hey presto!
You get all the data you need to make your hotel bookings at the click of a mouse, and that too from the comfort of your home. So, instead of wasting time deciding which hotel you should stay, you can now look at spending your valuable time in planning what you will do on your holiday. You can actually look forward to having fun on your trip minus the cumbersome stress of hunting for hotels and agents.

Every Monday, she'll be sharing her latest lacquer inspiration—you won't be satisfied with plain ol' polish again.
The bright, eye-grabbing colors and intricate nail art that dominated the fashion runways last year have stepped aside. What's replaced them? Minimalist-chic. In other words, pale, barely-there nails. From Marc Jacobs to Rag & Bone, the fashion scene is all about nudes and neutrals. Here's how to get the look this spring:
One of the best things about previewing fall collections in February? The makeup trends that are meant to be worn in autumn are actually seasonally appropriate for these last few days of winter.

Maybe you could explain what happens to the AP's ARP cache when it had
duplicate entries then?
Maybe you are getting a little confused about ap and arp.
An AP is a L2 device and as such it doesn't need arp table in order to
perform its duties.
Arp table is there almost only because it's supposed for the AP to have an
ip address for management purposes and because the ap itself may have to
talk with external services (radius, syslog, ntp, ecc..), but if no wireless
client is accessing the management interface of the ap no client mac address
is going to appear in the arp table of the ap.
Yes, dhcp server may (or may not) have problems with duplicate mac
addresses, but if you are forging a mac address you are not going to use
dhcp, aren't you?

Gimme, Gimme!
Cool things Metro Parent editors love and you gotta have

Cool Kids Stuff for Astronomy Week
We've got a sweet telescope, Star Wars planetarium, rocket T-shirt – even weird alien creature toys – all sure to put stars in your family's eyes
Whether you and the kids are glued to nighttime constellations or you can't tell the Big Dipper from a slotted spoon, it's prime time to get cosmic. This is Astronomy Week, after all (running April 23-29, with Astronomy Day proper falling on Saturday, April 28). Here in southeast Michigan and beyond, local astronomical clubs, planetariums, museums and other groups are turning their attention and telescopes to the starry skies. The idea is to boost public awareness of our big, awesome universe. So for this week's Gimme Gimme, it seemed only fitting to go on our own little space mission – for the coolest, space-themed toys in the galaxy (or at least on Google). These galactic goods definitely sent us over the moon!
Solar System in My Room
Whatever the weather, get a perfect view of the galaxy with this nifty, ceiling-mount version by astronomy-loving company Uncle Milton – that no-joke orbits, thanks to the included remote control. Eight full-color detailed planets (sorry, Pluto) orbit around a light-up sun. To boot, kids can ID planets and – and create their own meteor shower – with a light pointer (built right into the remote). About $32-$40.
ZOOB Alien Creatures
Five basic shapes. Twenty different combinations. All to boldly go where few building blocks have gone before: Moveable creations kids can actually play with. Infinitoy's award-winning invention channels Mars with Z.A.C. The 200 pieces snap together to form aliens, UFOs, a radio telescope and oodles more. Bonus: 12 pieces glow-in-the-dark, and you can even give Z-boy a pair of light-up eyes. About $40 ($25 on Amazon).
Space Race T Shirt
The USSR woulda had nothing on this slick fleet. Ever-hip and creative Threadless Ts offers this rocket-ship studded shirt (and is that a UFO in there, too?) perfect for kids with enough energy to blast out of the stratosphere. Nab a child's size (all are available as of this writing) for just $10 (also at the moment).
FirstScope Telescope
Finding a great beginner's telescope for kids that doesn't break the bank can be tougher than spotting Mercury (trust us, we looked!). But FirstScope fits the bill. Lightweight and portable, this 'scope is a throwback to Galileo's 1609 original, featuring a high-quality Dobsonian-style stand and 76 mm reflector optical tube. That means it's easy to maneuver and, based on the user pix, the quality is out of this world. Ditto the price: Just $49.95.
Space Exploration Kit
Edmund Scientifics knows a thing or two about home-based space exploration. Here, the maker of the iconic Astroscan Plus Telescope serves up a cool kit packed with hands-on outer-space experiments that delve into the moon, planets, stars, suns, rockets and more, perfectly primed for budding star gazers. Make a solar system model, chemically powered rocket and telescope? Check, check and check! Runs $34.95.
Death Star Planetarium
The Force is right in your kid's room with this geek-tastic grab. Shaped like the evil Galactic Empire's notorious moon-sized space station, this tabletop planetarium is a must for any young Padawan. Junior Jedis get one of two choices: the Star Wars galaxy, complete with the planets of Alderaan and Dagobah, or our own humble solar system. About $30.
These ideas are great and even as our children get older it's wonderful that we supported these interests. Our son's loved this, attended Space Camp, visited Cranbrook, loved the Smithsonian Air and Space museum.
It all paid off because they just finished a very difficult college Astronomy course and they both got a B.
I'd urge parents to take these and provide fun learning paths for your children.
