I agree with the conclusion: Global Warmists should keep to themselves.But this is totally inaccurate"the '08 crisis wasn't caused by a correction of those mistakes, rather it was the result of an inept Bush administration disallowing a correction of those mistakes through bailouts of errant banks with too much exposure to overextended borrowers"No, the ´08 crisis was caused by "Mark-to-Market" provisions if the completely wrong-headed Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. This forced banks to sell loans which were paying interest, but were considered low grade because there were no buyers. A mouse chasing its tail, a massive margin call.

Wow - a lot of insight. The market doesn´t buy global warming - so if you really believe find ways to bet against beach front property and costal cities. The one thing he mentions was that the reason banks and others bought packages of bad mortgages was because they though the price of houses would go up even if people defaulted on their loans. Only a few realized that there were enough bad loans to take out the economy and bet against real estate prices continued climb.

Here´s another example of market response to actual climate change: Between 1940 and 1980 the growing season in England shrank by two weeks. During the same period it became impossible to grow wheat in much of Finland because of the shortened growing season. Finnish grain farmers switched to barley and other short-season grains. During the 1990´s the Swedish government promoted oats as a crop that could be grown in the shorter growing seasons they were getting.This wasn´t political; it was based on agronomic and economic reality.As for actual sea-level rise, the oceans have been rising an average 2 millimeters a year (2 meters per 1000 years) for the past ten thousand years. Why? Because North America and northern Europe have been rising gradually in response to the removal of the weight of the ice-age glaciers. This causes Hudson Bay and the Baltic Sea to become shallower, and the water flowing out of them into the ocean basins raises the worldwide sea level. It has nothing to do with man-made climate change -- just with the climate change that melted the Pleistocene glaciers.

Nice little discussion from a rational viewpoint. The problem, Alarmists are NOT rational. Mr. Tamny basically says, let the market decide. But the market is not a tool that liberals can use or trust. The government, which acts out of emotional needs to sway votes is the tool of liberals and the Alarmists. Encouraging the Alarmists to use a non-emotional and non responsive tool like market forces is ridiculous. If that were possible there never would have been a Climate Alarmist movement to begin with. It has been government that has funded all the bogus research and government that wins votes by pandering to loud mouthed environmentalists.I agree with Mr. Tamny´s desire to let markets decide but expecting Alarmists to see that point is like expecting a fish to ride a bicycle.

Google readies 'late fall' Chrome OS release
Google is planning to spin out its browser-based Chrome OS "operating system" in the "late fall" of 2010, according to a Mountain View wonk. Sundar Pichai, who was speaking at the Computex show yesterday, said the company's Windows rival would arrive later this year. However, Google's product management veep didn't nail a …
32 and 64 bits
El Reg, WTF is x86-32? it's already bad with 64 bit, where they call it AMD64, EMT64m x86_64 or now x86-64, apparently, all for the same platform? Oh I know, EMT64 is intel's copy of AMD64 ....but please, standards, please ... I am tired of all these different spellings of the same shit!
Not just different spellings
The differences are there to determine what hardware platform the software can run on. x86 is used to denote a processor family based on Intel's 8086 and it's derivatives. x86-32 is commonly used to tell them apart from the other processor architectures such as SPARC and PowerPC.
That is all.
Basically it's a single app, the Chrome browser, running on a linux/BSD kernel with all the web-apps housed up at the choccy-factory? Fair do's!
I'm sure I will grab a copy for a play in a VM, but this will be nothing more than a 5 min wonder for most of us.
I've already played with an early version.
Installed an image in VirtualBox. It is just Chrome browser with an extra settings tab and an always-open GMail tab.
My reaction was "meh" -- I can see it being used on very cheap hardware but it's even less exciting than the iPad.
I wonder...
I wonder if anyone will sue Google, claiming that their browser is monopolising the online experience, as happened to Microsoft in the late 90's/early noughties.
if somebody could
explain to me what the f... hell means a "native WEB OS", I'd be glad to learn how to make my brain believe in oxymorons.
So tired of this "lying and misleading is just normal marketing" thing.
Not interested
I won't touch this unless someone does an analysis of the released binaries to find out what it's leaking back to Google and their ever-expanding big brother database.
Not interested
I tried Chrome browsing but dumped it after only a few days. Lots of reasons but the killer was that I couldn't find anything like NoScript. Now there's Chrome OS? What's the point?
Is it me,
or did this announcement sound particularly Microsoftian in how much vaporware is being waved about? I know all companies do it to some degree, but maybe we need a 'jumping the shark' icon in the list.

Reservation Sales QUEST Training
When it comes to information, the balance of power has shifted to the caller's side of the equation. Most have done extensive research prior to calling; many are online while on the phone. This program reinforces that rather than helping callers find what is available and letting them slip away to continue their online searching, the job of today's agent is to help them to decide on which property and to move forward in their commitment.
Most VRMA members know Doug Kennedy as the lodging industry's leading expert in reservations sales training techniques, having read his monthly training articles or attended the sessions he has presented at VRMA conferences since 1996. This workshop provides participants an opportunity to gain exposure to the sales tactics from his newest program just launched this year called Reservations Sales QUEST.
These contemporary tactics include:
Key questions for "un-masking the story" behind the caller's plans.
Using the Value Pyramid sales model for selling the overall vacation experience beyond "booking units."
Presenting descriptions that allure and entice and "narrate the pictures" they have seen online, rather than listing standard features.
Sample phrasing for working tenaciously to secure every sale; how to follow-up tenaciously when the callers say "no."
Each participant will receive a copy of the KTN Powerpoint presentation via email, allowing them to present the same program content to their own staff back at the office. Those who are interested in additional resources can also purchase the corresponding Workshop Leader's Guide, Participant Workbooks and/or DVD version of the Reservations QUEST program at a discounted rate during the program.

Incident Type Stolen Auto
Posted: Tuesday, February 26, 2013 -- 2:25 p.m.
Incident Date: 02/24/2013 - 12:05 AM
Address: 2300 block S. Stoughton Rd.
Suspect: Male, Hispanic, 30's, wearing an orange baseball cap.
Victim: Male, age 38, Madison
Details: A Madison man, driving around downtown early Sunday morning, took notice of what he thought to be a very nice looking car. It was a BMW X5, and it looked very similar to one he owns; even had the same tree style air freshener hanging from the rearview mirror. He pulled up alongside, and could see two men in the front seat, and two women in the back. They were jamming to some loud music, and he could feel the thumping base. It was a nice ride. The 38-year old next noticed the license plate, and that was when he started putting 2-and-2 together. His car, his BMW X5, was in the shop, or so he thought. He drove to the Stoughton Rd. auto repair business, where he had dropped his car the prior Monday, and discovered it was now gone. Staff later said it was still there at the close of business on Saturday, and must have been stolen hours before the owner spotted it cruising around in the heart of the Isthmus.

Mars Volta The Widow Lyrics
Last updated: 11/03/2013 05:26:27 AM
He's got fasting black lungs
Made of clove splintered shardes
They're the kind that will talk
Through a wheezing of coughs
And I hear him every night
In every pore
And every time he just makes me warm
Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Must I hide?
Cause I'll never
Never sleep alone
Look at how they flock to him
From an isle of open sores
He knows that the taste is such
Such to die for
And I hear him every night
On every street
The scales that do slither
Deliver me from…
Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Then I'll hide
Cause I'll never
Never sleep alone
Oh lord
Said I'm bloodshot for sure
Pale runs the ghost
Swollen on the shore
Every night
in every pore
The scales that do slither
Deliver me from…
Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Then I'll hide
Cause I'll never
Never sleep alone
Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Let me die
Cause I'll never
Never sleep alone
The Widow | Reviewer: David Geib | 11/3/13
Wonderful song. Love the different interpretations of the song as well. Doesn't matter what the true meaning is really everyone is going to find a different meaning in the words and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, personaly, I love everything about this song and can't imagine why anyone would want to hate on it for one second as long as the song impacts your life positively it doesn't matter how it's interpreted and that's all that matters in my mind.
totally different... | Reviewer: ckmuse | 9/22/13
I'm not sure about the back story for the song as previously discussed, but my immediate impression of the song is that is is about an addicted borderline schizophrenic person. The song seems to suggest that the subject smokes a lot of "something"..I.E. some sort of drug and the lyrics suggest to me that there is a small part of the original person left calling out for help through the suppression of an addiction/ personality disorder. Look at how they flock to him..my alter ego. I can see the things happening but its not really me..I'll never sleep alone because there will always be more than one person in my head..
Booklet in CD | Reviewer: gndylan | 10/17/12
It tells you the story inside the booklet inside the CD. All of these interpretations straying from the story of Cygnus seeking out vengeance of the murderers of his mother, Frances, are false. This is about a gender ambiguous person, most likely a male though, paying for sex with the AIDS-infected Cygnus. They both know he has it, but the Widow prefers to have someone with himt than sleep alone. It will bring him to death sooner which he believes will bring him to his deceased love sooner.
my view on the widow | Reviewer: C | 2/9/11
Well, i think this fellow widow is a vicious man, with 'fasting black lungs', a dealer on the streets, feeding vices. There is this girl (maybe Cygnus mother) addicted to the bone, living from prostitution. She feels the need, in every pore, the call of one more shot, just to 'keep her warm'. She 'will never sleep alone' because she will have to sell her body off, night after night, just to get more of the stuff. The widow is her provider, she cannot escape him or the addiction. It's a downward spiral.
rgthjkio | Reviewer: tyhujkl | 1/9/11
You guys don't know a thing
This song is about a character known as "El Viudo" or the widow, but in masculine. This song is about a guy that his wife died, and request for Cygnus' prostitute services. As Cygnus is a HIV+ and doesn't use protections on his sexual relations, Cygnus helps the Widow by giving him the HIV and when he dies, he re-meets with his past love. Sorry about my poor english, but I wanted you guys know the story :D greetings
it is an addiction. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/16/10
the song is about a woman and her struggle with an addiction and her disintegration because of it. shes self destructive to the point where her addiction caused a terrible and painful affliction to which she now curses the subject of her addiction though still unable to break it. in which then she wishes to die because its the only way to sleep alone, without it.
it is an addiction. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/16/10
the song is a struggle of a woman and her addiction. all of it points to disintergration and self destruction due to this terribly enthralling substance, killing her from inside until she just wants to die because the addiction will not let her be alone.
Interpretation | Reviewer: stfaulk89 | 10/26/10
Seems as if it is a marriage between two coming to an end, because the husband is dying from an addiction to tobacco. Possibly some sort of other substance, however "fasting black lungs made of clove splintered shards" lead to me believe it is tobacco.
Lyrics point to the wife, who is soon to be widowed s perspective.
personal meaning | Reviewer: Praetorian | 12/20/09
from the first time i read these lyrics until present(hundreds of times listening to the song) i will always relate them to heroin. Open soars are pletty self explanatory but specifically in the chorus "'cause i'll never sleep alone" - to me either means - i cannot sleep w/o my woman(heroin) or i refuse to sleep alone in case i drift off in an overdose - will need someone to watch over me. in any case beautiful song!
there's a book about the whole disc!! | Reviewer: claudia | 12/6/09
like someone said, the whole disc is about one general story, and every song's about a character... cygnus is a prostitute who has aids, and rapes and has sex with no protection, all the songs have a reference about that, the widow is a woman who, when she realizes the truth, preferred to keep having sex with him despite the illness, that way she'll be sooner with her husband..
by the way, cygnus is the swan constellation, and the myth says that greek gods became swans to seduce girls...
and I dont speak english very well... sorry....
yaaa | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/22/09
---what's funny is almost everyone here mentions the diary thing, but they don't get the whole story. some are saying it was jeremy ward's diary found after his death. the real story is jeremy micheal ward (cousin of jim ward who worked with cedric and omar in at the drive-in and now part of sparta) who then worked with cedric and omar in mars volta until his death (cedric and omar say that heavy drug use ended with his death) found a diary (i cant remember how he got it) that wasn't his but after reading it he realized that the author had a very similar life to his own, especially that they had both been adopted. but jeremy ward does not write lyrics, although he may be a part in writing the concept, and during deloused in the comatorium he worked with cedric to create the story of cerpin taxt, based on the suicide of julio venegas (believed to have been tormented by once at the drive-in member ben rodriguez), close friend of mars volta and at the drive-in members, who once played in cedric's old garage bands before at the drive-in. anyway, the actual lyricists are omar rodriguez and cedric bixler, so whether they chose to write about jermey's death (i actually do not know when he died, or if frances the mute was released while he was alive), or about the diary's author, or about the key points in jermey and the author's lives that were shared, or simply about the diary itself, you would have to go through the lyrics and figure that part out. i havent gone through these lyrics, but what everyone seems to forget is the frances the mute single. frances the mute was supposed to be the title track for the album, which "decodes" all of the songs, but didnt make it in the album so it was released as a single. i don't know exactly how this works, whether its literally a code that you need to put together like a puzzle, or if its simply a song with lyrics that are easier to understand. this website seems to have something figured out that i dont, i dont understand the litle letters and titles they have inserted into each set of lyrics at the top, but when i looked at the lyrics to frances the mute (either that or casandra gemini) these titles are inserted in-between parts of the song. perhaps it is a more logical complicated puzzle, but im too lazy to figure it out right now, just wanted to give people the info i do have
The Secret of these lyrics Revealed | Reviewer: Miranda McKennitt | 10/19/09
Come on. It's about Jimmi Morrison. The Widow, because he is dead and she listens to his music and understands how one can love him and cherish him. How can you miss it. And English is not my mother's tongue...
My view on the widow | Reviewer: niqui | 5/11/09
first of all Cucaracha you have to remember taht this is based on a diary that Jeremy Ward found so it could be possible that this song is from a woman's point of view. Also I really think that everyone connects to this song on a different level and has their own view on it.
I think this song is about a girl who is probably innocent and naieve and falls for a guy who shows her a side of life she never intended to get into. The fasting black lungs line means he cannot breathe because he smokes...probably cloves which are notorious for having fiberglass in them which makes your lungs bleed. I believe that this guy is into drugs and a crazy lifestyle and this girl seems to fall deeper and deeper into it. She's so in love she cannot help her own demise even when it seems that he's forgotten her. To be closer to him she' does all the things he does and she ends up wanting to die in the end.
frances the mute | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/11/09
Frances the Mute in based on the story found in the diary/journal of deceased friend Jeremy Ward. He was adopted and the journal has entry's of his quest to find his real mother and father. Each song has a character name in the title (cyngus, the widow, miranda, cassandra). With the cd came a lot of emotion because the death was very recent, and Jeremy was very close to the members. None of The Mars Volta's lyrics are "just because they sound good". There is a story/concept behind each album which made me like them so much more.
You can find a lot of interesting facts about their album's and songs on their site.
correction | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/11/09
It's not Jeremy's story.
"The story is inspired by a diary that Jeremy found in the backseat of a car while working as a repo man. (cedric says) He discovered he has a lot in common with it's author. He kept it and let us in on it. The diary told of the author being adopted and looking for his real parents. The names of each song are named after the people in the diary. Each person he meets sort of points him in the direction of his biological parents... It's a story of abandonment and addiction. As to weather of not it actual happened is not certain. That's something for the listener to find out. We can only provide the pieces"
-says Cedric (www.themarsvolta.co.uk)

What do you mean by inedible?
I see many reviews or responses here that say the food at this restaurant or that restaurant is inedible. What does that really mean? I have never been to a restaurant where the food was inedible, unless there had been a clear mistake made (i.e. chicken was not cooked through or something like that).
I have been disappointed (majorly and minorly) in food at restaurants and have been majorly upset at the value of certain restaurants, but almost universally, the food has been edible.
So, when you guys say inedible, do you actually mean not fit for human consumption or just way below what you expected?
I think inedible can mean either. It's so rare for me to get inedible food in a restaurant that I really am having a hard time recalling an instance. Well, the closest I can get is a dinner at a local Italian place about 2 months ago. The bread they served was beyond stale and that, to me, was just not worth putting in my mouth.
I did get served undercooked chicken wings one time. a long, long time ago. Management refused to take it off our bill because our party of 4 had eaten some! I noticed in on the second wing I ate and immediately told everyone to stop eating. Never went back to that place for treating us so poorly.
Until last week, I would have called inedible anything that was rotten or toxic or would somehow make me sick. But the other day, I cooked a new chicken dish that forced me to redefine inedible to include that which makes me gag when thinking about the leftovers that still have to be eaten.
re: Cachetes
ummmm if it was inedible then dont eat the leftovers?
re: kpaxonite
That's exactly what happened. My husband and I hate to toss food, and so when one of us said we were hungry, the other would suggest that he/she eat the leftovers. Neither one of us could do it, and out it went.
re: Cachetes
haha thats a good way to lose weight.... you could always get a dog
I will use the term to apply to anything that I deem, simply and subjectively, not worth eating. As I really have no aversions to any particular foods, for something to be "inedible," it must be poorly prepared or based upon substandard ingredients. Thus, a well done steak, stale bread, raw poultry, rancid produce, are all equally unacceptable and, therefore, inedible.
re: thew
Well.......... sure, but I recall a dish I declined in an Asian country (while on a business trip) because it was mostly fish bones, fins, scales, entrails and the like. For ME it was inedible as I was not going to put most of those things in my mouth (and I usually have a very wide food tolerance level). Also, there was a Mongolian hot pot experience, in Taipei, where the 'broth' was so spicy that a single taste sent me reeling.
So............ it can be more than rhetorical, though it can be subjective.
To me, inedible means I literally can't eat it--either because the chewing/swallowing necessary to digest the food is impossible (think of trying to eat a mouthful of unprocessed big pinecones, for example) or because I will literally gag and become so ill that I will not be able to swallow. And maybe I will add that if I am 100% certain I will make myself ill with e.coli or something similar by eating...I guess that would meet my inedible criteria as well.
So for me, very little is truly inedible. Lots of unappetizing things, for sure, but very little inedible.
re: smartie
Last year I got a salad at Chez Panisse that was garnished with a tiny - and lively - garden snail. The greens had been washed, and so had he. We (and the diners at adjoining tables) were amused rather than horrified, and the waiter promised to put him back out in the garden. Only in Berkeley.
re: alanbarnes
I usually take the presence of insects to mean that vegetables are more edible. After all, if an insect survived all the way to the table, there can't have been too much horrible done to the plant in the process. Yeah, not totally rational, but relatively reasonable. This, assuming of course that the plant isn't infested and eaten to near death, which is another matter entirely.
re: amyzan
I agree. The occasional earwig in farmers' market produce doesn't bother me at all.
Alan -- not "only in Berkeley" this time. I found a snail in my salad once in Venice at an outdoor restaurant. The waiter was very amused and set it on a vine growing on the wall.
re: amyzan
As long as it's not a roach... (shudders) I found a small green catterpillar in my salad once. I took that leaf off the plate and rescued it and enjoyed my dinner. Nobody ever died from eating something a catterpillar or snail touched.
Ah, my most hated term/word in a review.
For most, it means, "I couldn't find anything more creative to say, so I was lazy and used an over-used KEYWORD to describe something that wasn't."
The last inedible food I had was from a (South American) deli. The food item was deep fried pork and yucca. After about 6 bites, I couldn't go on. My jaws literally started hurting from all the chewing I had to do; my masseter was no match for seriously overcooked/tough food. It just couldn't be eaten; it was inedible.
I've never encountered inedible food at a chain or higher place (Meaning any place that's even worth a look for a review). It's only from those smaller places that I encounter truly inedible food.
re: ediblover
I place my trust inediblover.
re: kpaxonite
It happens on rare occasions. Examples I can think of.
Odd recipes with mis-aligned ingredients, which can make the dish taste bitter or medicinal.
Inedibly chewy meats (and my standards are pretty high for this). Often, this happens when a more unusual meat or cut has been cooked improperly, especially if fat hasn't rendered.
Fried foods where the batter is under-cooked in spots.
Cracker Barrel.
Last, this is probably a matter of taste, but certain Asian fish dishes with thousands of hair-thin bones (not talking whole fish, which is relatively easy to conquer). I don't know if certain people just don't mind. I can't imagine anyone takes the time to finesse the tiny shreds of meat out of these dishes.
re: kevin47
"Fried foods where the batter is under-cooked in spots."
Similarly--fried foods that aren't cooked thoroughly. I'm a serious french fry lover--I really don't care if they're hand-cut, fresh, frozen, bought in bulk at Costco. I have preferences, but I'll eat whatever. They're french fries, after all.
Big pet peeve: being served fries that were cooked just until the potatoes were soft--but not crunchy. If you've ever had a limp white french fry that sh*t oil into your mouth when you bit into it, you'd probably agree: inedible. Or--I've been served fries at hole-in-the-wall places here in LA where they were still frozen (albeit half-thawed) on the plate. Happened more than once--super gross to bite into.
I mean it literally. While I've had many things I didn't enjoy in restaurants, I've only actually had 1 one meal I found inedible. I ordered a pasta that was so full of cheap olives and feta that it was horribly salty. I think pure salt is less salty!!
There are also a few foods I am physically incapable of forcing myself to swallow - liver and sea cucumber come to mind.
re: CanadaGirl
I once ordered a pasta with vodka sauce at a restaurant in London and I think they put about half a bottle in it and didn't cook off the alcohol. It was inedible and rather embarrassing because a friend's father had taken a whole bunch of us poor students out to a very pricey restaurant and I didn't feel I could send the food back (and I was only about 20) so I had to do my best to eat as much as I was able without gagging.
Almost nothing is inedible to me. If I encounter something I don't like, I eat it and resolve to never cook it / order it again.
Which reminds me, I'm constantly amazed at the number of times I have read on CH something like, "I bought XYZ, brought it home, tasted one bite and tossed it out." I NEVER toss things out like that willy-nilly (unless it is clabbered milk or something along those lines, which almost never happens.) I must be poorer than most people. I can't bring myself to throw money down the drain. I suffer through eating it, and resolve not to buy it again.
re: woodleyparkhound
I have purchased things that I have taken them home, prepared them according to the label directions, and the result was so horrible-tasting that I spat out what was in my mouth (into the garbage can, as I was alone) and chucked the rest of it. Life is just too short to choke down something that is repugnant, especially if whatever I bought wasn't that expensive. It it *was* expensive, I'll try to recycle it into something else so it's not wasted, but it depends on how awful it was on the first go-round.
Inedible can mean anything from dirty, rancid, slimy from whatever, clabbered, etc. -- to "so horribly prepared that I simply cannot imagine how hungry I would have to be for me to consume this of my own free will."
To me, 'inedible' usually means too salty for me to possibly put more than a spoonful in my mouth without gagging. Most things can be worked around, glossed over, or plain ignored, but if it tastes like a salt lick it'll only work as an emetic!
re: arktos
I may have an Anglo face, but I definitely have a Chinese palate.
So, when you guys say inedible, do you actually mean not fit for human consumption or just way below what you expected?
the former. as in, something that tastes so awful [or excessively salty] that i literally can't get/keep it down.
Having been raised to conserve, I'd have to find a thing really disgusting to my palate or a health concern to my body to utter it *inedible*.
Despite my rather hyperbolic expression in the positive (I *LOVE* lots of foods and constantly say that such and such flavor is *AMAZING*), I find myself much more literal and subdued in the negative.
For me, it's a small handful of things. Something too tough to chew, or so full of grit that I worry about breaking a tooth. Something obviously hazardous to my health. And, very, very rarely, something so nasty that I reflexively spit it out before the taste even fully registers. I once had this happen with a piece of food that had been so over salted it should have had a white coating of salt crystals.

Written by Steve Mosco, firstname.lastname@example.com Thursday, 19 June 2014 00:00
A Plainview resident with more than 20 years experience in speech pathology wants to get the word out about dyslexia.
Lori Melnitsky, director of All Island Speech & Learning, graduated from Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School back in 1981, during a time when misconceptions about dyslexia were the norm and generally taken as fact. While most believe that dyslexia simply involves spelling words backwards, Melnitsky asserts that this learning disability is far more complex.
"Individuals with dyslexia do see things differently, but they do not see things backward," she said. "Dyslexia is a language-based learning disorder. It is the difficulty in processing language that causes problems with word recognition, reading comprehension and vocabulary development."
Melnitsky said those with the disorder might have difficulty learning a foreign language, rhyming, spelling, difficulty with letter naming, difficulty with handwriting, delayed expressive language, organizational issues, poor sequencing of sounds in words and spatial difficulties.
However, Melnitsky stresses that dyslexia has absolutely nothing to do with a person's intelligence.
"I've found that kids with dyslexia have an average or above average IQ," she said, adding that these learners think better with pictures and often have trouble associating and connecting symbols and letters with sounds and names. "And often these young people are extremely creative. They just learn in a different way."
The most important way to nurture and help these individuals, Melnitsky believes, is with support and early detection. She said warning signs for possible dyslexia in a young child can include delayed language, frequent ear infections, the inability to rhyme and difficulty in saying the days of the week and alphabet in order.
Melnitsky said these warning signs are often manifested in a student's performance around seventh grade when classes are split up by subject. Often, a dyslexic student will maintain passing grades in math and science, but their reading speed and English grades might suffer.
"A lot of times they don't know what is happening. They feel stupid because they are not used to getting low grades," she said. "Also, their parents might start to think they are not trying or they are not doing their homework. The parents end up blaming the student because they just don't know about the possible dyslexia."
To that end, Melnitsky is offering a dyslexia support group for parents at the Mid-Island Y JCC, 45 Manetto Hill Rd. In this support group, Melnitsky doles out wisdom to parents on how to approach dyslexia. She also clues in attendees to the methodology used in teaching a dyslexic child. She tells them about the Orton Gillingham teaching style, which is a multisensory approach used to teach reading, writing and spelling utilizing seeing, feeling and hearing to learn to read, spell and write.
Melnitsky said these individuals require and outside-of-the-box approach to education.
"When a dyslexic person is in a run of the mill learning environment, it is like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole," she said. "All things sequenstial in nature are hard for them. These are right brain thinkers, creative types. They do not learn in the same way."
Most important to Melnitsky, is that her group offers a sense of hope to those who feel their's or their child's dyslexia is an insurmountable educational difficiency.
"It is important to provide hope. Most of these kids end up doing really well after high school when they get to college and give their minds a true opportunity to expand," she said. "That is why people need to know what dyslexia is and what it is not."

Posts tagged: 6th Legislative District senate
The Ferris High School debate team will host a debate Wednesday between incumbent Democratic state Sen. Chris Marr and his Republican opponent, Michael Baumgartner.
The two candidates, who are fighting one of the most expensive state Legislative battles this year in Washington, hope to represent the 6th Legislative District, which surrounds central Spokane on the north, west and south.
The debate starts at 7 p.m. in the Ferris High School auditorium. Doors open at 6 p.m., and the Ferris Jazz Orchestra will play until the political forum starts.
(If you've seen the two debate so far this election season, you'll find the boxing poster imagery quite relevant.)
KHQ is reporting that Republican state Senate candidate Michael Baumgarter deleted questions to him from Facebook users during a KHQ Facebook interview last week.
Mark Billings, executive assignment producer at KHQ, said the Baumgartner campaign admitted to deleting questions they felt were biased and likely written by supporters of his opponent, incumbent Democrat state Sen. Chris Marr.
This campaign season, KHQ's Facebook page has hosted question and answer sessions with almost 10 candidates. Billings, who has organized the events, said candidates come to the KHQ newsroom and are signed on using KHQ's Facebook account.
Billings said the session was monitored by a KHQ staff member, but that person was looking for cuss words and vulgarity. The moderator didn't notice that some questions had been deleted.
Baumgartner, who was the 7th candidate to participate in the KHQ Facebook feature, was told that he had the right to "answer or not answer any question." Billings said. He also was told that a moderator would be watching the posts and to check with the moderator if problems arose.
Billings said he did not specifically tell Baumgartner that he was not allowed to delete posts, but that "I felt that was pretty clear."
Here is a bit of what KHQ posted on Facebook earlier today about the incident:

The Priob Pony also known as Ob pony or Priobskaya originates from Western Siberia. It is not known how many of this sturdy, small draft horse (or pony), exist or if they are currently being bred. The breed is extremely similar to several horse breeds from the area with the differences between them being almost undetectable. There is no existing breed registry and the ponies may have been so mixed with other breeds (the Yakut and Narym for instance) that a true purebred no longer remains.
The breed was probably named for the Ob River (also known as Kalta or Omar). They have been raised in the traditional way. The animals are put out to pasture to fend for themselves and caught as the need arises. The herd deals with mud and swarming insects during the summer months. The winter months bring heavy snowfall and temperatures that are regularly well below freezing. The native tribes of the region needed a sturdy pack animal with great endurance and the ability to survive on little food. Their main job was to carry goods and supplies as the Ob River is a major trade route in the area. They were also used to work in the forests. In extreme climates animals are considered a valuable asset and utilized to the fullest extent. Ponies not only provided a hardy worker but were also slaughtered for their meat. The fermented beverage kumiss is made from milking mares' milk.
They were cross-bred with the Estonian native horse by the local tribes. Interestingly, the Estonian breed is sited as being one of the last "Northern forest breeds" and it is mentioned is some sources that they have not been significantly influenced by cross-breeding outside of the forest breeds. It may be that Ob genetics are heavily mixed into this lighter but still strong breed.
The roots of the Ob breed probably go back to the now extinct Tundra horse which shared many features with Mongolian breed. The Priob pony is a small draft breed standing between 13 and 14 hands tall. As can be expected given the climate, their coats are shaggy and they have long tails and manes. Thick feathering protects the bottom of their legs and falls over the hooves. The hooves themselves are broad and flat which enable the animal to deal with the muddy terrain. The breed is built sturdy with a solid skeleton which supports a heavily muscled body. Short legs and neck and a Roman nose are also characteristics of the ponies. The most common color (although not only one) is dun. Grullo (mouse-colored) and bay duns are the most common with the dorsal stripe down the back and often light, zebra-like stripes on the legs. They have long life spans and are capable of working into their twenties.
Unfortunately many horse breeds from this unsettled part of the world are disappearing along with the nations they served. Very little to no current information is available on the Priob breed although their role in the history of the local tribes is undeniable

Covering diverse aspects of safety, including training, programs and products.
Back to the list
October 8, 2010
by Louie Maiello
- Also by this author
While some transit agencies are cutting back or even eliminating service to save money, why not begin looking at the bottom line with student operators, during and at the completion of their behind-the-wheel training. Identifying poor performers during training and separating them prior to graduation can contribute greatly to overall safety improvements for the training department and, reduce claims. Releasing students at the completion of an unsatisfactory driver training performance will ensure that they will not be part of an agency's collision statistics.
Are transit agencies simply wasting dollars by having student operators sit in a classroom at the beginning of their training, rather than concentrating on learning the driving skills first on the training bus? If the trainee is unable to perform satisfactorily in the driving skills portion, information given in a classroom early in the training program will become meaningless. It's at this time they must be released from the training program.
Identifying those with driving skills first can increase the number of qualifying students who will benefit from uninterrupted daily driving thereby, saving training dollars. By leaving the classroom portion of training until after washing out those who failed the driving skills portion, you can ensure that every possible opportunity is given to the student to succeed. The uninterrupted daily driving will quickly present a picture to the instructor and the student as to who may or may not advance beyond the behind-the-wheel stage of training.
After orientation day paperwork, get rolling on the training bus and remain there until you have identified students who have qualified in the basic skill driving portion, as well as those who have exhausted the available amount of training and must resign for failing to qualify. Any instruction given in the classroom before determining if they can pass the driving portion will mean nothing to those who do not satisfactorily demonstrate the driving skills first.
Once the washout has occurred, classroom training can begin. The class will be meaningful and consist of those having one thing in common; they have all passed the driving portion. If you can't drive, you won't have to worry about being around for any classroom activities. Fewer supplies and resources will be needed, and a little savings here and there can add up. At the same time, only those who have first demonstrated the ability to drive are the ones advancing into depot line/route training and, eventually, to driving on their own.
The per-student training cost is wasted if every opportunity is not given to complete training successfully, or by the failure of the training department in not identifying, early on in training, those students who should never advance to passenger service.
