A word from Zen Japanese Restaurant
The term "edible art" is an appropriate way of describing Zen's menu. Inspired by traditional Japanese cuisine, the inventive menu is heavily influenced by the abundance of wonderful West Coast seafood and produce. The premium is on quality, with the best offerings from Japan being served daily. Sushi and Sashimi creations are staples, but Zen has something special for any and all diners including a selection of highly innovative tempura, teppanyaki, and delicious robata (Japanese barbecue) highlighted by chicken yakitori, garlic short ribs, and simply grilled fresh fish. Adventurous diners can choose "omakase" and have our master chef put together the day's finest selections. Zen's knowledgeable staff will assist you in choosing the perfect beverage to accompany your meal from an unparalleled inventory of premium sake and specialized beer and wine lists. Zen is also a perfect venue for social and business gatheringsContinued

- MontrosersDined on 11/5/2014Always consistently great. The Hamachi Peak is memorable. The butter Yaki is marvellous. The popcorn shrimp is delicious. The sushi and sashimi the best we have ever had....the rice is right and the nori is crisp.Special Features:
- Sushi with a twistOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/1/2014A cozy restaurant with a sushi bar and booths. A bit of a wait but the hostess kindly offered us some saki while waiting and service was great. The food however was the best, a variety of different types of sushi, not your standard sushi fare and everything was very tasty. We went with a group on so it was a great deal. It is a bit more pricey then your standard sushi restaurant but will worth it.Special Features:
- Fabulous DinnerLuvSushiDined on 9/6/2014Small, Quaint, and very busy!!! Food is fantastic, service great!!! I highly recommend making reservations!!Special Features:
- The TruththeTruthDined on 8/15/2014The freshest seafood prepared to perfection followed by the most amazing dessert capturing the best that August in Vancouver has to offer. A truly perfect meal - not to mention service that was impeccable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- luv2eatVIPDined on 8/11/2014We loved lunch at Zen. Food and service were both fantastic.Special Features:
- The following 136 reviews are from the Zen Japanese Restaurant reviews archive.
- Excellent foodFoodieVIPDined on 7/19/2014The food here is always freshly prepared by the chefs who are visible at the counter. Every item was absolutely delicious. The prawn tempura is to die for. The special dessert is always a culinary delight. The friendly and efficient service here is second to none.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- No soft surfacesOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/18/2014Love the food. Great staff. The decor is like a scientific experiment in making noise as echoey as possibly. There isn't one quiet table in the restaurant. Japanese restaurants use fabrics and wall partitions and organic materials to dissipate noise. It's intrinsic to the Japanese dining experience The Zen is like a ball pit at Ikea. I'd come there weekly but ...it's just so NOISY. They tried hard to get me a good seat but ...glass/ceramic/more glass/echo/echo/clank.
- delightedtheTruthDined on 6/26/2014The meal was so tasty I wanted to lick the plate to ensure I got every drop of the amazing sauces they drizzle with perfection and every bit was a delight. The service was fantastic - very knowledge about the menu and helped us put together the perfect combination of the best Japanese food we have ever had - you must go here.Special Features:
- Awesome food and serviceFoodieVIPDined on 6/14/2014This is our very favourite Japanese restaurant in the lower mainland The service is very friendly and extremely efficient. The food is always so fresh and so good. It never disappoints. From the time the hostess greets you to when you leave and the chefs behind the open counter thank you for coming you feel so welcome. This is a must for anyone who loves good service and great foodSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great AttentionNoCornDined on 5/24/2014I have some serious food allergies and chef Nobu really took care of me. He called ahead of time to talk about it and fed us well without any problems. The food was awesome and we will definitely go back.Special Features:
- Better than NobuOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/21/2014We recently ate at Nobu on Old Park Lane in London. Zen is head and shoulders above that restaurant. The food is prepared when you order, not in advance and everything is so fresh. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful World class Japanese restaurant in West Vancouver with fantastic staff, making it a great dining experience and a friendly venue.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I love the roll and sakefoodhuntersDined on 5/19/2014My family and I love Japanese food, however in Zen they serve very awesome roll that you will not find it in other Japanese restaurant. Do not miss Miso Gindara and Jalapeno Wraps, these are our favorite menus. Last but not least, I love the quaint and the hospitality of the staffs in Zen.Special Features:
- Excellent spot for the finestplumyplumDined on 4/13/2014Excellent spot for the finest Japanese food. Food was served very hot which was great too. Always greeted with very friendly staff.Special Features:
- Low key place, great Japanese foodLynxiDined on 3/29/2014We have been to Zen many times and have never been disappointed. There are so many delicious options, both traditional (e.g., chicken katsu,extensive sashimi menu) and innovative (e.g., crispy salmon in an egg crepe, spiny lobster rolls). Very nice sake and a chocolate melty brownie to die for. The ambience is simple but classy. Our only limitation this time was the very lengthy wait for our entrees to appear. Seems like there may have been an issue in the kitchen. When the food did arrive, it was worth waiting for.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't order all at once unlessbchapmanDined on 3/15/2014Don't order all at once unless you want your entire order to come at the same time. Some pacing would be better.I would recommend this to a friend.
- GemQuilterDined on 3/7/2014My husband and I go here quite often. We love there food. Their food is quite a bit more special than most Japanese restaurants. Beautiful presentation too. Staff is so friendly.Special Features:
- We eat at Zen all the timeOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/26/2014We eat at Zen all the time and it is a great place for Japanese food. Staff are wonderful. Very friendly and great atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely Valentine'svvvvvDined on 2/14/2014We were late booking dinner for Valentine's but saw there was still room at Zen. We had been once before for lunch but wanted to go back for dinner so it worked out great. We did the 5 course chef menu. The food was very good, I will absolutely be coming back. The restaurant is very nice, though certainly not formal, but it's not trying to be. I think you could have a romantic dinner here, it's nice enough, but you might end up with a loud family next to you (we did). My only complaint was our waiter left us waiting with menu questions for too long. Once we had ordered though everything was fine from there and the pacing of the courses was perfect. We left quite full, I don't think either of us could have eaten another bite. We will return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great spotFrasdoVIPDined on 2/9/2014The service and food at Zen are both very good. Also try the great homemade desserts!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We thoroughly enjoyed Zen.JodieDined on 2/1/2014We thoroughly enjoyed Zen. The sushi was beautifully presented and the taste was exceptional. Our server was fun and the service was prompt. Truly a neighbourhood delight!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food ..But Slack Servicediner2014Dined on 2/1/2014To begin on a good note, the food was quite food and memorable, especially the Tower that came with the Sushi Entree. The indifferent service; however dragged the food down to a level that made me question its $38 Dine Out category. Compared to other Dine Out restaurants, the service here was poor. Perhaps it was the small narrow restaurant setting or the lack of employees, but I felt cheated that I paid a bill of a total of $140 for a table of three.Special Features:
- Very nice eveningAmy1Dined on 1/25/2014My husband and I enjoyed our anniversary dinner at Zen. The food and service were fantastic. My only complaint would be that we sat next to the window and found it very cold - otherwise, a very enjoyable experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Did not disappointSamsaraDined on 1/24/2014It had been a while since we had last enjoyed a dinner at Zen and the Dine Out menu sparked our appetite and prompted another visit. The Prawns 3 Ways appetizer was well presented though a tad overcooked in two of the three bites. The Sable fish was delightful - perfectly prepared with a very flavorful broth surrounding a nice portion of fish. Dessert was also good - we both had the Sticky Toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream. The portion size was perfect - not too overwhelming but enough to be satisfying and the flavor balance after the fish was great. Our server was very knowledgeable about the choices for Saki and answered my neophyte questions with skill. We will be back and sooner then our last visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service very offBirdDined on 1/17/2014Went during dineout. Were seated for 5 minutes before another table sat down. 4 minutes later, a 3rd table sat down. For some reason, we were last to order. Before we ever got to order, a bill was slapped down in front of us, meant for the previous diners sitting across fr/us. The people who came in later were finished by the time we got our main. We were in a rush to leave, asked for the bill 2 times. But the waitress gave the machine to the table next to us, though they asked AFTER we had asked for the machine our 2nd time. Food: Ive had better sushi. Dumplings meant to be served hot was cold, indicating our orders were forgotten for some time. Matcha mousse in a chocolate cup was the best item on the menu, but not insanely delicious.
- Superb sushiMableDined on 1/9/2014Wonderful presentation and delicious tasting sushi. Maybe the best I have ever had. Service somewhat rushed but it was busy. Recommend the private room for a large group especially for families with kids.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ZeneliciousArchie1954Dined on 12/13/2013We love this restaurant and the food is excellent. It is also a place to see celebrities if that is of interest to you. We got a nice table for four by the window which had a good view of the other diners and we watched the beautifully designed sushi trays being delivered to their tables. The service was impeccable and the server seemed to be able to understand when to serve us and when to leave us in deep conversation. To do that successfully is not only very professional,it is also an art. We will most certainly be dining there again.Special Features:
- Outstanding food and serviceFoodieVIPDined on 12/6/2013This is one of our favourite restaurants The service is second to none The food is always outstanding Everything is made fresh by the chefs whom you can see making the sushi Lauren the "dessert lady" is excellent and makes everyone feel welcome This place is a must if you like Japanese cuisineSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always great!luv2eatVIPDined on 10/23/2013Delightful lunch! On the recommendation of our server we went with a couple of the specials. The 'salmon mango wrap' and 'pop up prawns' were two favourites. We enjoyed the toffee shortbread and ice cream for dessert. We will be back very soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not that impressiveYaleDined on 10/19/2013Dinner was ok. Service reasonable and lighting dark. Price is about twice that you can get elsewhere with reasonable comparison. ok for special occasions but I wouldn't make another trip out there. A lot of better choices with decent quality and prices. No asian wait staff, all caucasian. Could have at least had one. Thought this was Japanese owned (hard to find) but l guess like other restaurants, owner means not around and reaping in the name of their business. (see Tojo's)Special Features:
- As usual, Zen Sushi was onScottheanVIPDined on 10/19/2013As usual, Zen Sushi was on its game. Will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good sushi in West VanRobinVancouverDined on 9/27/2013We were in a bit of a rush and they were very busy. Despite our reservation it was slow to get seated. Our waitress was excellent and did her best to accommodate our rush on a busy night. Food was great, both creative and traditional dishes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent foodFoodieVIPDined on 9/22/2013The food and service here is second to none. Always friendly service. The sushi is made fresh for each order. The rolls are to die for Their prawn tempura is fantastic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food and the Poke Crispslotus7Dined on 9/18/2013Good food and the Poke Crisps we wanted were sold out - good to hear that there are limited quantities of home made fresh food. The Poke we did have was delicious . the Tower was good but seemed mainly a way to utilise left over bits of sashimi - the specialty flowers ( of courgettes) ( one each) was nice but well overrated by the server.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Zen???AlcyDined on 8/31/2013For a place called Zen it was pretty frantic service. Long waits between visits from a server that seemed like she was way behind and wanted you to hurry. Wonderful food arriving at all times. Our family birthday celebration (5 on us) had our main courses arriving over 15 minutes apart. Family run I'm guessing. Several groups arrived with great familiarity, being fussed over and made us feel like second class citizens. Great food. Too bad about the service. Not in a hurry to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Summer patio is lovelyluv2eatVIPDined on 7/29/2013Very charming patio! We dine here often because the food is excellentSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 3 visits in 20 days says itOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 7/28/20133 visits in 20 days says it all ! Got better and better each time! The food was delicious every time ... and the service. They do make you want to return again and again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Second visit in two weeksOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 7/18/2013Second visit in two weeks ... it did not disappoint. My friends want to plan an visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So good!!luv2eatVIPDined on 7/14/2013Great time!! We sat on the patio which is well off any busy streets and just lovely. The server recommended some tapas still items. We had the fish taco roll, popcorn halibut and ebi dumplings. They were all excellent. We also had the chef sashimi which was creative, super fresh and lots of selection. For dessert we had the honey coconut macadamia bar with coconut ice cream. Delicious We will go back.Special Features:
- For a Monday night it wasOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 7/8/2013For a Monday night it was busy little place. But the food still came pretty fast. The waitress was always back when our drinks were just getting low ... always there at the right time. The food was really beautiful to look at and definitely delicious. I have been there before but the two friends I brought have never been there and we are already planning another outing there next week.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- love it!luv2eatVIPDined on 5/19/2013All I can say is that this was one of the best and freshest Japanese restaurants that I have ever visited. The server recommended several of their most popular, tapas style, dishes. We loved them all. We had the popcorn shrimp roll, tuna tataki roll, ebi dumplings, torched scalloped (so so good) and a couple of other specialties. We had the dessert special which was lemon meringue pie and a must try.Special Features:

Charlie Sheen versus Rihanna. The most notorious actor in town versus one of the most notorious singers. How could this possibly end well?
Charlie started the whole ordeal when he was having dinner with his fiance at a restaurant in Santa Monica on Wednesday night. Apparently, Charlie was treating his fiance and her friends to her birthday dinner in a private room at the restaurant when they found out that Rihanna was also in the nearby vicinity. Charlie's fiance, Scottine Sheen (Brett Rossi), is reportedly a huge fan of Rihanna and wanted to meet her – and Charlie, being the benevolent person that he is [cough], decided to make his fiance's dreams come true. He apparently went ahead and reached out to Rihanna via the restaurant's management, but guess what? He got DENIED.

United Steelworkers union,
NEW YORK United Steelworkers union members at Essar Steel Algoma Inc.s flat-rolled mill in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, have ratified a new three-year labor deal.
The two sides reached a preliminary agreement June 27 (amm.com, June 28) to replace the previous three-year contract set to expire July 31.
"This early ratification gives the business the stability it requires to survive this market cycle and provides employees, customers and suppliers with the security they need and deserve," the Sault Ste. Marie-based subsidiary of Indias Essar Group said July 8.

One Texas' Best
November 17, 2014
The Crowne Plaza Houston Galleria is a great stay for the price. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Rooms are good sized and bed/pillows are comfortable.
Restaurant staff is attentive for breakfast and dinner. They are accommodating if you need something off menu or need a 'to go' breakfast.
Location is ok, the traffic can be gruesome but that is just Houston. Lots of great shopping and dining in the area.

FIGURES showing more than 200 inmates have escaped or absconded from prisons in England and Wales in the last year are "worrying", a politician has said.
Two male criminals escaped jails in 2013-14 while another two escaped prisoner escorts, according to government data.
There were a total of 225 absconds – an increase of 21 compared with the previous year.
This included 137 from open prisons, which have been the subject of controversy after a spate of walkouts.
Work on the Wrexham 'super prison', which will be be Britain's biggest and is set to house more than 2,000 inmates, will start in the coming months, if full planning permission for the £250 million build is granted. The jail will be operational by late 2017.
Wrexham MP Ian Lucas said any absconsions were "very worrying" and with the prison due to open in 2017, the issue of security must be taken seriously.
"I can understand there will be concerns but I think we need to look very clearly why the increase has happened, what the reaction of the Ministry of Justice is and what steps will be taken to improve security," he said.
"When we get back to Parliament I will make investigations to find out what is being done."
The most high-profile absconsion was Michael Wheatley – known as the 'Skullcracker' – who sparked a nationwide manhunt after absconding from HMP Standford Hill on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent.
The figures from the National Offender Management Service (Noms) show 90 absconders who have disappeared from prisons in the last decade were still at large at the end of last month.
Another 79 have not returned after being granted temporary release since 2004.
The data suggests that prisoners went missing at a rate of around one every two days.
But it showed that, although the number of absconds has risen year on year, the total of 225 was the third lowest since the current method of counting was introduced in 2004.

When anyone says "Colonnade" in Marienbad, he or she inevitably means the Main or New Colonnade. This is a beautiful structure in the town center dating from 1889. It is located on the spa grounds just off the Skalníkovy sady. The Main Colonnade shelters several springs including the well-known Cross Spring. The spring water flows 24 hours a day. Bring your own cup or buy a porcelain one locally, to sip the waters or come to admire the structure.
This Neo-Classical colonnade is a glass and iron structure. A Moravian Foundry, the Blansko Ironworks, cast the wrought iron framework for this structure between 1884 and 1889. The supporting columns are Corinthian in style. Above your head is a coffered wooden ceiling. It plays host to a series of frescoes. The artist is J. Vyletál. He completed these paintings in1979. If you tire of the delicate filigree struts or the frescoes on the ceiling, wander over to the nearby Singing Fountain to catch the show.

Crystal Beach House Rental Photos and Description
House, 4 Bedrooms, 3 Baths, (Sleeps 11-12)
Our newly constructed beach house is located on the 3rd row of a double lot. We have a great view of the beach which is accessible by foot or vehicle. Currently there are no homes built in front of ours, so we are enjoying the "front row view". The house has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths with a great room and kitchen/dining as well as an outdoor bar. At each end of the house is a master bedroom with two additional bedrooms in the middle that share a jack n jill bath. The masters both have a queen size bed, while the middle rooms are equipped with custom made bunk beds (which has a much more spacious headroom than the typical bunk). One room contains 2 twin bunks and the other has a full on bottom and twin on top bunk.
We rent to families only - we are excited to share our beach home with other families that will appreciate and respect like we do.
Amenities include: A spacious deck with both covered areas as well as sun areas, fully equipped kitchen, Satelite TV, Free WiFi, gas grill and bed linens are provided; but you will need to bring your own towels.

Tony Blair went to "The Daily Show" to talk about politics but found himself defending the Iraq war much more than he might have liked. The former politician, who still seems desperate to sell the nobility of invading and occupying Iraq, also managed to include some of the tired 9/11 rhetoric from Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign.

On Rodney's second day in the class, he shoved a child on a swing and dumped another out of her chair at the snack table" (Duncan, Kemple, & Smith, 2000, p. 194). In essence, the authors support behavioral theory and advocate addressing Rodney's negative actions through the use of social reinforcers (e.g., praise, and similar teacher attention), activity reinforcers (e.g., earning use of a toy such as a tricycle with "good" behavior), and tangible reinforcers (e.g., stickers). Unfortunately, applying reinforcers to extinguish Rodney's "aggression" overlooks the context of how children develop.
The developmentalist, by contrast, would attempt to change Rodney's antisocial behaviors by trying to understand his developmental needs--specifically, what may be causing such behaviors in the first place. As this is Rodney's first day in his new class, the first question for the developmentalist, knowing the literature on attachment and separation fears (Mahler, 1970, 1975; Speers, 1970a, 1970b), would be: Did the teacher help Rodney make a gradual transition from home to school, and allow time for him to bond with his new teacher and become comfortable in this strange new world of the kindergarten classroom? The developmentalists may use supportive actions to help the child make a successful transition (Jervis, 1999). In Rodney's case, the teacher could have made home visits, giving Rodney a chance to meet his teacher on his own "turf"; permitted Rodney to bring a "transitional object" (his cuddle toy or his "Linus" blanket) (Wolfgang & Wolfgang, 1999); and encouraged a parent to stay in the class the first day or two so that Rodney could "wean" himself from parental support.
Developmentalists may, in fact, view Rodney's aggressive actions as heroic attempts to get his needs met in a strange new world. The developmentalist might ask: Are there enough tricycles (or similar favorite items) that would permit him to play in parallel form as a developmental step into associative and cooperative play? (Parten, 1971). Or is the playground developmentally appropriate? Are back-and-forth swings, because of the preoperational child's inability to understand movement between states, or states vs. transformations (Piaget & Inhelder, 1958), appropriate at the kindergarten level? Is the organization of snacks and the arrangement of chairs done in such a manner that certain chairs (e.g., those that allow children to sit with the teacher) are favored, thus causing competition? In viewing Rodney's aggressive behaviors, a developmentalist also would ask: Are the environment, procedures, rules, and daily activities developmentally appropriate for this child, especially when we have children with special needs in our classroom?
The teacher who is armed with a repertoire of social reinforcers, activity reinforcers, and tangible reinforcers, and who uses them daily as the general mode of guidance for children, is missing an opportunity to understand how a child's actions may give us insight into his developmental needs. When we have a medical visit, the doctor says, "Where does it hurt?" We show where the pain is, and the doctor then considers each ailment suggested by pain in that location. Similarly, "punching, pushing, and taking others' possessions" should prompt us to learn about this child's developmental needs, to draw on our knowledge to give meaning to the child's "symptoms," and to use developmentally appropriate practices.
Rather than administering a reinforcer to change the child's behavior, the developmental teacher asks: How does that child separate and bond? Can he cuddle with supportive adults, such as the teacher? How does he eat and handle himself at snack or at rest time? Can he handle demanding activities such as finger painting, water play, or painting? Can he do socio-dramatic play? How do his social skills relate to typical developmental stages? Can he express his needs with words while under pressure in a social situation? (Wolfgang, 1977; Wolfgang & Wolfgang, 1999). These questions can be posed only from within an understanding of certain developmental theories--Mahler's theories of bonding and attachment (1970, 1975), Anna Freud's developmental lines (1968, 1971), play research and theory (Erikson, 1950; Freud, 1968; Peller, 1969; Smilansky, 1969), and Parten's social stages (1971).
Considering Rodney From a Developmentally Appropriate Perspective
Young children who do not feel empowered or do not believe they will get their needs met begin to deal with their world in an automatic, reflexive manner. They may respond through verbal aggression (swearing or using bathroom talk), physical aggression (punching, pushing, and taking others' possessions), or passivity (flat, expressionless behavior accompanied by excessive thumb sucking, masturbation, or even self-abusive activities, such a striking their own head) (Wolfgang, 1977).
Children slowly "learn to be the cause" of events in their world over the first three years of life. The young infant attaches to a significant person, then begins a gradual separation process: first learning causality as a baby by throwing a spoon in order to get others to pick it up, acting upon objects during toddlerhood by opening all the kitchen cabinet doors and banging on pots and pans, and using language to achieve a goal in late toddlerhood by asking mommy for something. Thus, the child becomes socially adaptive. If development went well during these first three years, children will enter kindergarten expecting the best, with the confidence that they can master what lies before them. If this development has not gone well, they may enter kindergarten as Rodney did--by "punching, pushing, and taking others' possessions."
In behavioral theory, we address children's inappropriate behavior by moving away when the child acts out; otherwise, we would be reinforcing the behavior by attending to them. For example, we may ignore a child when he cries, in an effort to eliminate the crying. Developmentalists take just the opposite approach. The kindergarten teacher's first goal should be to rebond with Rodney, then gradually teach him to channel his energy (aggression is simply misdirected energy) from the body to the toy, from the toy to play, and from play to work (Freud, 1968).
On the third day of school, the developmental teacher would direct Rodney into a host of activities that permit him to divert his aggression (energy) from his body into the toy (pounding at the carpentry table, pounding with clay, or pursuing aggressive play themes in the safe, make-believe world of small animal toys). At the same time, the teacher would attempt to bond with Rodney (even to the point of cuddling him), so that he would begin to realize that he can depend on this caring adult to help get what he needs (Wolfgang, 1977; Wolfgang & Wolfgang, 1999).
Instead of permitting Rodney to have the tricycle after he goes for a period of time without pushing or hitting as a reinforcement (activity reinforcers), the developmental teacher might allow Rodney to use a tricycle whenever he wants, because it is an excellent outlet for his energy. Thus, Rodney can transfer his aggression from other children to the toy. The teacher may tape his picture or name to a chair at snack time so that he will know that this seat will always be reserved for him, and thus know that he does not need to fight for one.
Next, after Rodney has aggressively used the carpentry equipment, clay, or the make-believe rubber animal toys (such as lions and tigers), the teacher would help him cross the bridge into "making something" with the clay, or "making a story" with the animals. He then will move from the toy to play. Once he learns isolated play (Parten, 1971), the teacher can encourage others to join him; he will then move from parallel to associative play, and then to cooperative play (Smilansky, 1968; Smilansky & Shefatya, 1990), whereby he becomes a role-player with others and practices the social skills of give-and-take.
Rodney pushes, shoves, and hits because he does not yet have the social skills to work with others and to get his needs met. Reinforcing "good" behavior does not teach him the developmental skills he needs to function. Through role-play (as in socio-dramatic play), the child moves from isolated play into cooperation with others, which requires sophisticated social and language skills. Rodney, through such play, would be empowered and, therefore, would not need the teacher reinforcements, or control. He can develop effective adaptive skills.
As part of their advice for Rodney's teacher, Duncan, Kemple, and Smith write, "Mr. Romero is concerned for the emotional and physical safety of the other children, and he believes that Rodney will have a hard time making friends if his reputation as an aggressor is allowed to solidify. He feels the need to act fast. Deciding that a system of reinforcement, along with other strategies, may help Rodney control his aggressive behavior, Mr. Romero implements a token reinforcement system. Rodney earns a ticket, accompanied by praise, for each 30-minute period during which he does not behave aggressively. At the end of the day, Rodney can trade a specified number of earned tickets for his choice of small toys" (p. 194).
While it is certainly necessary to protect the other children and ensure fairness, the authors' advice fails to incorporate developmentally appropriate practice. At circle time, and possibly even before Rodney has arrived, a teacher using a developmentalist approach would have discussed Rodney's arrival with the other kindergarten children to help them develop empathy for Rodney, who is, after all, getting accustomed to a new place. The teacher could ask the children to think about how Rodney might feel, why he might push and shove and take other children's toys, and why the teacher might need to do special things for this new person. Young children can understand these concepts, and as they watch the developmental teacher guiding the "misbehaving" child they will become secure in the knowledge that the teacher will not punish them for similar actions. Thus, they can learn to master their own aggressive impulses as they watch Rodney strive for self-control and social skills.
The Duncan-Kemple-Smith article includes a short review of studies (e.g., Schloss & Smith, 1998; Zirpoli, 1995) demonstrating that reinforcers are effective in eliminating unwanted behaviors in early childhood settings. It is often true that behavioral techniques are powerful and effective when they are used with the narrow goal of changing a particular behavior. These brief targeted studies, however, do not answer the following questions: Should this behavior be extinguished? What caused the behavior in the first place? What are the new behaviors that result when this behavior is extinguished? There is no doubt that an experienced behavioral teacher using reinforcers can extinguish Rodney's aggression.
What happens, however, if we return the next month to observe Rodney and find that new problem behaviors have developed? In short, targeting one behavior obscures the perspective on the dynamic aspect of human behavior and the interdependence of social, emotional, and cognitive development. When we narrow our view of children's growth to one observable behavior, we lose the holistic view of the child.
Another Look at Specific Behavioral Techniques
In light of recommended developmentally appropriate practices, behavioral constructs of reinforcement raise some concerns.
Social Reinforcers (e.g., praise and similar teacher attention). The narrow behavioral nature of a social reinforcer, such as teacher praise and attention, boxes the teacher into scripted behavior when used with young children. Teacher attention toward the child should be based on the teacher's insights into, and empathy with, the child's real development needs, as well as on an understanding of the necessary steps for the child to gradually gain autonomy.
Activity Reinforcers (e.g., earning use of a toy with "good" behavior). In a developmental classroom, there are no activities, materials, and toys that are considered "treats." Instead, these items and processes are basic to the educational developmental model itself. One example of activity reinforcers from the Duncan, Kemple, and Smith article shows the teacher reminding the children that they must first clean up before they are permitted to go out to the playground. No one can disagree with the need to teach young children to clean up; with a child like Rodney, however, cleaning up will only come after he has become a co-player and a worker with others. This will take time. He should never be barred from a play activity, especially during his first days of kindergarten. Following the developmental construct of Anna Freud (1968), activities on the playground, with the guidance of an informed developmental teacher, are exactly what Rodney needs to help him gain control of his own behavior and attain true maturity. The developmentally appropriate classroom does not use toys, materials, and activities as "activity treats" or activity reinforcers; all toys, materials, and activities as are there to contribute to children's development.
Tangible Reinforcers (e.g., stickers). One kindergarten teacher once stated, "My students would kill for a sticker." Because Rodney does not yet have the developmental social skills to function at an age-appropriate level, he will miss out on such tangible reinforcers as stickers and feel resentment and anger toward those who do receive them. In fact, Rodney may push and hit to get a sticker. The use of stickers as a tangible reinforcer may achieve short-term success, but bring about unintended, long-term consequences for the children who do not, as yet, have the social skills to merit the reward.
The behavioral constructs of social reinforcers, activity reinforcers, and tangible reinforcers can be learned quickly by beginning teachers of young children, provide them with feelings of empowerment and control, and may help, in the short term, to curb children's aggressive behavior. It may be helpful, however, to view aggression from a developmental point of view--as children's attempts to adapt to new situations. Behavioral techniques that shape and change children's surface behaviors without placing these behaviors within a developmental context may, in the long run, interfere with the child's developmental needs and cause much harm.

Carving pumpkins is awesome in theory, but its kind of a pain in the Halloween mask when you really get down to it. First, you have to choose a perfect pumpkin, which always seems like its going to be easy -- there are, like, a million of ´em at the patch! Unfortunately, of that million only a couple will sit properly with their good sides facing out, and itll take you at least an hour of searching to suss out one of those two pumpkins. Then, when you get your Halloween gourd home, you have to make a carving plan; it needs to be artistic, sure, but more important, you must remember youre using a very sharp object as your brush, so to speak, and you wont be able to execute anything too complicated. After that comes the seed-scooping, which takes a while but is fun, and finally, youre ready for the actual carving. Estimated project time from start to finish? Around eleven hours. And you only end up with one pumpkin to admire! Save some time, and drive a couple of hours to Ha Ha Tonka State Park (1491 State Road D, Camdenton) for the Ha Ha Haunt. This kid-friendly celebration features 100 jack-o-lanterns lining a trail that leads to a Halloween party complete with games and smores! What more could you ask for? The Ha Ha Haunt runs from 5 to 8 p.m. and is free. For more information and directions, call 573-346-2986 or visit www.mostateparks.com.

The Interpretations Committee received a request about the accounting by the holder of equity instruments in the circumstance in which the issuer exchanges its original equity instruments for new equity instruments in the same entity but with different terms. Specifically, this transaction involved equity instruments issued by a central bank and the exchange of instruments was imposed on the holders as a consequence of a change in legislation.
The submitter asked whether the holders of the equity instruments should account for this exchange under IAS 39 as a derecognition of the original equity instruments and the recognition of new instruments.
The Interpretations Committee observed that:
For these reasons, the Interpretations Committee tentatively decided not to add this issue to its agenda.

Unity terrains can be furnished with trees. Patches of trees can be painted onto a terrain in much the same way that heightmaps and textures are painted but the trees are solid 3D objects that grow from the surface. Unity uses optimisations (eg, billboarding for distant trees) to maintain good rendering performance, so you can have dense forests with thousands of trees and still keep an acceptable framerate.
The tree button on the toolbar enables tree painting.
Initially, the terrain will have no trees available but if you click the Edit Trees button and select Add Tree you will see a window to select a tree asset from your project.
Unity comes with a tree object in the standard assets for prototyping purposes (menu:) but you can also create suitable objects with a 3D modelling app or by using Unity's Tree Creator tool.
With a tree selected, you can paint onto the landscape in the same way you paint textures or heightmaps. You can remove trees from an area by holding the shift key while you paint and remove just the currently selected tree type by holding down the control key. The familiar Brush Size option is available for tree painting but the Opacity property is replaced by Tree Density, which controls the average number of trees painted into a given unit of area. There is also a control for Color Variation and the trees' heights and widths can be specified, again with variation. The variation options help to create the impression of a random, natural-looking forest rather than an artificial plantation of identical trees.
The Mass Place Trees button is a very useful way to create an overall covering of trees without painting over the whole landscape. Following a mass placement, you can still use painting to add or remove trees to create denser or sparser areas.
Unity has its own Tree creator that you can use to produce new tree assets but you can also use a standard 3D modelling app for the task. The tree mesh should have fewer than 2000 triangles (for performance reasons) and the anchor point should be right at the base of the tree where it emerges from the ground. The mesh should always have exactly two materials, one for the tree body and the other for the leaves.
Trees must use the Nature/Soft Occlusion Leaves and Nature/Soft Occlusion Bark shader. In order to use those shaders you also have to place the tree in a special folder that contains the name "Ambient-Occlusion". When you place a model in such a folder and reimport it, Unity will calculate soft ambient occlusion in a way that is specifically designed for trees. The "Nature/Soft Occlusion" shaders rely on the folder naming convention and the tree won't render correctly if you don't follow it.
When you save a tree asset from the modelling app, you will need to click the Refresh button (shown in the inspector when the tree painting tool is selected) in order to see the updated trees on your terrain.
You can add a Capsule Collider to a new tree asset by instantiating it in the scene, adding the collider (menu:) and creating a new prefab for the modified tree object. When you add the tree to the terrain for painting, make sure you select the prefab with the collider rather than the original object. You should also enable Create Tree Colliders in the terrain's Terrain Collider component inspector to allow.
Note that the physics engine has a limit of 65536 colliders in a single scene. This is normally not an issue but when trees are used with colliders, you should make sure you don't exceed this limit (also bear in mind the colliders other than those on trees that you are using in the scene).
