Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Everything else about the game is pretty good, although the story could use a little work, I was engaged in the game enough, the atmosphere was great, the tense situation of not knowing what was ahead was exciting to me. The music was in tune with the game itself, keeping everything in that scary tone without overdoing it. Overall, I would say if you can tolerate the clunky controls and you like scary games, give it a try, you might be surprised at what you might find.
Great game!!! Silent hill, Resident Evil fans ONLY

Cursed Mountain is a well done game with Silent hill elements. It also has Resident Evil and Eternal Darkness elements as well. If you enjoyed the silent hill games and the classic resident evil games then you will feel right at home with Cursed Mountain.
Graphics: 8
The game looks good! Solid graphics, nice effects.( there not 360 or PS3 graphics) There are parts of the game where u will pass through an area where the camera will tilt and the colors are washed out witch give the game a creepy feel.( kinda like Silent hill, Eternal Darkness camera angles)
Game play: 9
The game is fun to play. I specially like killing the ghost with a swing of the wiimote. Our hero may be a little slow for some people but it did not bother me one bit.( its a survival horror game what do u expect) again if u love silent hill then u will have no problem.
Story: 10
The story is well done and thought out. Its a different and refreshing story. It has a lot to do with religion and the a cult. The story will suck you in.
Controls: 8
OK if you have trouble playing this game then you just suck at video games. I did not have one problem with the controls at all. the screen tells me to swing the wiimote, i do, it works every time. Simple!!
Sound: 8
Not much music in the game but you wont even notice. there is a lot of ambient sounds. there are parts where you will hear people whispering and people in pain like if there south of heaven. Does a good job of keeping the scare factor up.
This game is a must Rent or BUY for Survival horror fans.( specially when its only 20 bux. be quick cuz they did not make a lot of copies of this game so it might be hard to find soon.) You wont be disappointing. Its not for people who only play Call of Duty or button mashing games. This is for intelligent gamers who have patience and like a good story.

Also I found that while this game lacks in overall playability it more than makes up for it with originality. I found the overall quest to be intriguing and the mini-quests difficult but not tedious.
CONS: This game is really boring and seriously should not even be referred to as a game. Your character moves like a WWII vet with a limp--a.k.a. slow--and that is while he is running.
Furthermore, I managed to clear the first level and most of the second before I started to get a sense for what is going on. You are constantly bombarded with fragments of a story that doesn't really make any sense or have much of a premise and I kinda got the impression that the developers made it up as they went along. My favorite part here is when your character learns to use his third eye from a 10 second conversation with a monk that pops out of nowhere and is never seen or brought up again.
OVERALL: Again, I would not call this a game where it not for the fact that you are on a quest and supposedly killing stuff (ghosts can't really be killed, but when they are it looks pretty cool). Despite the heavy cons I actually really liked this game. The setting was new and the concepts were exploratory. I highly recommend this game for mature thinkers and not so much for the quick action button jammers. Heck, this is GameFly, give it a shot and you might like it.

Lame pseudo-spooky "cut-scenes" that are really just still shots with color effects? Check.
Dismal two-tone graphics (in this case, a brownish-orange and black) that make it difficult to discern any of your surroundings? Check.
The horrid cliché of "you can't do the action as described in the manual until the game tells you about it"? Check.
The follow-up cliché of "this item/object/action is available after you do this/go there"? Check.
D-level voice acting? Check.
Obnoxious sound-effects, such as a persistent high-pitched whine that will make you think your Wii's disc drive is malfunctioning? Check.
Ridiculous holes in the game's logic, such as a mountain climber who can't hop up over a chest-high wall in a town, but can jump from one building's rooftop to another, because it's the path the game wants you to take? Check.
Needless waggle? Check.
Ponderous in-game "journal" entries that take forever to read, offer no real clues, and are set in a font that requires the Hubble Telescope to magnify to a readable size? Check.
No map system to speak of? Check.
Stock characters and plot (missing brother, eccentric and twisted millionaire, ghosts)? Check.
I take it back. This game has one redeemable feature: you can take it out of the Wii and use it as a shiny coaster.

story is incredible
music and sound spot on
average graphics for a wii game anyways
voice over acting
motion controls are awkward
IF you are not a fan of slow paced horror survival 3rd person types than you will not like this game.

Cursed Mountain has you taking part as an expert mountain climber who has to follow a trail to find his brother - who is lost on a climbing expedition. But it's mostly an exercise in shooting ghosts and getting past doors with gestures from the Wiimote.
Granted, this game does have a very nice look to it; it has got some of the best graphics that I've seen in some time.
But the combat system on display here is one of the most user hostile I've ever seen.
First problem: You guy moves like a snail. His run is the same as most characters' walks. Getting around each level tried my patience.
Soon, he gets a powered up climbing axe he can use to shoot and hack into ghosts. The hacking into ghosts is no problem; if all this was me and the evil spirits going into melee combat, then it would be okay.
But when the ghosts gets ranged attacks and when they attack three at a time, then more problems show up.
Second Problem: the ghosts move faster than my guy can run, so I have to use ranged attacks on them. But to use the ranged attacks, I have to hold down the C button and use the thumbstick to manually aim the crosshairs at the ghosts (a very hard thing for me to do).
Third problem: Holding down the C button also plants him to the ground so while I'm aiming at one spirit, another one is shooting me in the back with its attack that I can NOT dodge.
In the last few levels of the game, these cheap shots will take off a third of my life; it wasn't long before my slow moving hero died - several times over. This game needs a radar, the ability to run and gun and a manual lock on in the worst possible way.
Fourth problem: some Wiimote gestures (thrusting forward) hardly register. This just adds to the overall aggravation.
Cursed Mountain's curse is its combat system and it's too much for me to overcome. SKIP IT.

The scares are equally unimpressive, as the creators don't really seem to understand suspense, pacing, or even what's scary. They keep falling back on 'Jacob Marley' ghosts for all the frights, and the fact the game takes place in broad daylight doesn't help.
I gave it a 5/10 simply because it's not a 'bad' game per se, just a horribly outdated one, with a lackluster story, and no scares to speak of. I wouldn't pay more than $5 for it.

Type 2 Diabetes—An Environmental Illness
David Spero
June 27, 2007
Most doctors and health writers blame Type 2 diabetes on bad genes, bad behavior, or both. Diabetes is all your fault—either you're doing something wrong, or there's something wrong with you.
But, as I explain in my new book Diabetes: Sugar-coated Crisis, rates of Type 2 diabetes are soaring all over the world. The number of people with diabetes has tripled in only 30 years. People's genes have not changed in 30 years. Nor have we all become a gang of gluttons, eating ourselves sick. What has changed is the environment we live in. That's where all the Type 2 diabetes (and the high blood pressure and heart disease) are coming from.
Our modern environment causes diabetes in at least three ways: stress, barriers to physical activity, and unhealthy food. High-calorie, low-nutrition food is available everywhere, and it's cheap. Healthy food is less available and more expensive. High-sugar breakfast cereals and high-fat fast foods are marketed heavily to children, so kids learn unhealthy eating before they even get to school.
At the same time, physical activity is getting harder to do. We used to walk to work and do physical labor once we got there. We would entertain ourselves with games and sports. Now we drive to work or school, sit at a desk or stand at a counter all day, drive home, and watch TV. Most of us don't even get the activity of walking to a bus. As one teacher told me, "Kids used to play basketball. Now they play video basketball."
Just as bad as the food and exercise environments is the stress built into modern life. In small doses, stress is a lifesaver. When we are threatened, stress prepares us to run or fight by raising our blood glucose and blood pressure and increasing insulin resistance. None of us would have survived without stress. (An interesting article on the topic can be found here.)
But in modern society, we can't run from or fight against threats. If you can't pay the mortgage, or you're threatened with losing your job, or your child is in the military, there's nothing to run away from. You just worry, and you probably eat high-carbohydrate "comfort foods" to feel better. Over time, these kinds of stresses build your insulin resistance and give you lots of abdominal fat. You're on the way to Type 2 diabetes. For more about the stress-diabetes connection, see my article at www.mendosa.com/stress.htm.
Stress is not evenly spread through society. Since stress is a response to threats we cannot control, the less control we have, the more stress we will have. Those with the least power have the most stress and the most Type 2 diabetes. Scientists cite Native American and African-American communities, where 20% to 70% of adults have diabetes, as proof of a genetic cause. But I would argue that these communities have the most Type 2 because they have the least power.
Of course, genes and behaviors are important. It is possible to eat a healthy diet, get regular exercise, and reduce stress even though the environment is against it. If you are able to do this, you will do much better at managing your diabetes. But those of us with more power—money, education, support, self-confidence—find it easier to go against the environment.
So if we want to prevent Type 2 diabetes or manage it once we have it, we need to empower ourselves by finding resources and support and building self-confidence. If we want to stop the diabetes epidemic, we need to change the unhealthy environments that cause it. This will be a job for governments, employers, schools, churches, health-care systems, communities, and all of us.
What are you doing about stress, lack of activity, and unhealthy food? How do you find the strength to live right in an unhealthy environment? Please post questions or comments to this blog.
The REAL environmental cause of type 2 Diabetes may be that the industrial chemicals in our air and water have damaged our genes in ways that disrupt the glucose metabolic pathways.

I am female, white, 47 yo, 5'9" 142#s, a runner, and recently (Jan this year) dx'd with type 2. No one else in my family has diabetes.
Posted by: mary A | Jun 29, 2007 12:13 AM
One of the biggest contributors to Type II is the medical industrial complex. In order to get more money and more funding the parameters are being lowered every year as to what qualifies as Type II diabeties.
Posted by: Azballgofar | Jul 01, 2007 06:25 PM
Environmental chemicals definitely play a role in the genesis of Type 2, although nobody knows exactly how. Science Digest recently published an article on air pollution and diabetes here.
Posted by: David Spero RN | Jul 02, 2007 05:21 PM
On every site I've been on, when someone mentions being thin and athletic, it seems the response is always that it must not be Type 2. I'm confused. While it's true I'm overweight, my mother is 100 lbs soaking wet and has always been extremely active, walking sometimes several miles a day. She was diagnosed with Type 2 about 10 years ago. Her mother, also thin and very active, was also diagnosed with Type 2. Am I missing something? Are all Type 2's fat? If so, how does that explain the people in my family who are thin but have it? Ok - so I can blame myself I guess. Who can my mother blame?

Thank You So much, for all this information ! I am studying Health and Social Care at college, and am doing Type 2 Diabetes for my public health issues assignment and this is EXACTLY what i needed to know :) THANKS
Posted by: Nicola Birchmore | Mar 29, 2010 02:50 PM
Type 2 diabetes is truly a fatal disease. The sad part of this disease is that this is primarily hereditary. Thus, it would be hard for individuals to prevent this disease when they have family members who already suffered from it. The best way to prevent this disease from worsening is to maintain balance and healthy lifestyle.
Posted by: Scott Alexander | Dec 21, 2010 04:08 AM
I have just been diagnosed with pre-type 2 diabetes. I am not overweight and I have maintained a very healthy diet for many years. I have not been very active for the last few years but I certainly don't sit around all day by any means. My father had type 2 in his later years. Hereditary? Environmental? Stress? All three, I think.

modern society put obstacles to man actualization of values .it gives you false needs . The comodities and consumerism of this society and brought new habits to humans regarding eating foods and exercises and the impact over our old genetic programming results in insulin resistance obesity metabolic syndrome diabetes. modern society with the fludge of avertisments brings perversion of what we desire and we live an atmosfere of spiritual misery.

"Unique" was in the plans of Joanna Dreifus and Ellen Horowitz when they founded BridesmaidAid.com in 2000. The idea was birthed out of the many experiences Dreifus, 29, and Horowitz, 28, had as bridesmaids. "We realized there were all these wedding Web sites and there were [virtually] no information sources for bridesmaids," says Dreifus. "And there are so many more bridesmaids [than brides]."
The pair created a Web site with advice for bridesmaids, a list of duties, suggestions for bachelorette parties, wedding city spotlights, links to wedding stores and a horror story section. Both full-time graduate students, the pair focused on generating content and building a user base. The business side--i.e., the money to be made from a site that gets over 10,000 hits daily--didn't come until recently. Now, says Dreifus, they're crafting a business plan to capitalize on the site and get revenues flowing. A segment on The Today Show and being picked as a Yahoo! site of the day have helped to generate exposure. "People want really specific information," says Dreifus. "[Wedding sites often] get caught up in the formal, flowery, syrupy side of things-[people] want specifics."
More couples are turning to the Web for wedding research and purchases, according to Lawrence. Other trends in weddings: People are marrying later in life, and wedding consultants are becoming more common among middle-class couples-not just a luxury for rich folk anymore.
Vincent S. Lipe, owner of Acquisitions Event Management Inc. in Seattle, happened upon another wedding trend: He plans weddings and commitment ceremonies for same-sex couples, in addition to traditional ceremonies. Finding most of his business through word-of-mouth, Lipe, 46, happened upon this opportunity at a millennium party he had put together for a client. "A number of the guests approached me and said, 'We understand you put this all together--do you do commitment ceremonies and same-sex wedding planning?'" recalls Lipe. "I hadn't done one, but planning a wedding is planning a wedding."
The best lesson to take away? Whatever type of wedding biz you want to commit to, serve customers the best way you know how. As entrepreneurs like Lipe can attest, referrals can make all the difference.

Concierge.com's insider take:
Forget everything you know about the Manhattan nightspot of the same name; this completely unrelated bar, with its rattan furniture, cane lanterns, and bamboo ceilings, is definitively Australian. First, there are the views across Darling Harbour, which make a fabulous backdrop for summer drinks; cocktails aren't mixed here, but there's plenty of cold Aussie beer, crisp white wine, and about 35 vodkas to choose from. And though weekends bring trendy crowds vying to charm their way past the doorman, weeknights are more relaxed, with specials like all-you-can-eat mussel feasts.
Open Sundays and Mondays through Thursdays noon to 1 am, Fridays and Saturdays noon to 3 am.

The skipping animation is horrible. It isn't fluid like before - she "skips" as if she's walking on the moon and the position of her shoulders as she does so is just plain WEIRD.
Much more difficult to see what you're hitting/AoE with the new animations for Disintegrate and Incinerate.
She isn't cute anymore. She looks like some sulky tween.
Do not like.
Senior Member
She DOES NOT SKIP anymore, I don't care what anyone says, just watch ANY footage of preVU annie and compare it to the VU, she moon walks now. I also hate how they removed her skip, would really like to see a response as to WHY.
Her spells have very audible sounds that are like twice the volume of what they were before. It's kind of annoying and it sounds like her disintegrate is actually throwing solid balls of fire at them when it was fine before.
Alvan Yakatori
I did not see any problems visually with annie other than her passive before the upgrade.
Folly Inc
I approve of her remake.
I think -all- of her new animations are a significant improvement to her old ones. Her skipping is very elegant, and alludes to her being more than a simple child because it's not a normal skip.
PS. It is a skip, it looks like a skip, it acts like a skip, and if you were on the moon, it would -still- be a skip.
Her age is more appropriate to here lore, and no, she does not look older than 10, and that's being generous. Which brings me to my next point, her visual remake accurately depicts "The Dark Child" MUCH more significantly than her old appearance did. For this reason specifically, approve of the visual remake.
I think you're just upset that you weren't invited to Tibber's Tea Party.
No, but seriously, I think, in terms of polygon count, particle detail and visual acuity, it is a definite upgrade. I do agree that she doesn't look "adorable" anymore and that's very unfortunate.
I haven't had any problems with her spell animations. It looks pretty clear to me what you're hitting, and the new Incinerate is far, far better than the old in this regard (note: I tend to play on low detail, because my computer is old and horrible). I also haven't experienced the audio problems that others have reported, but I'm sure they're there.
her run animation is astronaut teemo

Queens Park Rangers midfielder Akos Buzsaky has hailed the influence of new manager Mark Hughes after his side claimed a crucial 3-1 Barclays Premier League victory over Wigan on Saturday.
Buzsaky fired home a superb free-kick to help Hughes record his first League win as QPR boss, a result which lifted the club out of the relegation zone.
"If everyone gives their best then we are going to go somewhere"
- Akos Buzsaky
"The manager's main impact has been the training sessions," Buzsaky told the club's official website.
"They are really, really sharp and all of the players are responding positively to them.
"I think you could tell - we looked sharper and were on the front foot for the majority of the time. It was a great overall team performance."
The 29-year-old Hungarian also said the victory would give the team a massive boost as they attempt to beat the drop.
"It was important to win because everyone knows the position we are in at the moment," he added. "After a win the confidence amongst the team is always better.
"We just need to concentrate on ourselves now. If everyone gives their best then we are going to go somewhere. I'm sure this is just the starting point for us."

What's up guys, looking at picking up a Matuse 5/4/3 or 4/3/2. I was just wondering which would be suited for OCMD and how far each would take me into winter.
What's up guys, looking at picking up a Matuse 5/4/3 or 4/3/2. I was just wondering which would be suited for OCMD and how far each would take me into winter.
the 5/4/3 would be ideal for the winter, probably withstanding temps in the 40s if im not mistaken. You could take the 4/3/2 in the winter but if cold water isn't your thing then you'd be best off with the 5/4, and using the 4/3 during the fall and the spring.
With good hood boots and gloves the 4/3/2 will be fine except late jan, feb and early march when you could still surf in it, but may get cold after a while.
With that said...everyones different so i ;m just basing it on my experience. Matuse's are insane warm wetsuits..ive got one.
Sounds good, I generally run way hotter than all of my friends. Matuse has a 2008 5/4/3 for 311 in my size, if I was to get a 4/3/2 I would have to pay retail price... do you think I should just go for the 2008 or get the new updated version?
5/4/3 holla holla
I always get last years model. So much cheaper and the design usually hasnt changed that much. Go warm. always better to be too warm than risk damage from the cold. though if you want one suit that will get you everywhere the 4/3 will work just have the warmest accessories and wear a heater vest underneath.
Definitely get the 5/4/3. You'll be glad you did come February. I find the older I get the more rubber i need. I used to rock a 4/3 all winter, but im definitely over coming out of the water like an icicle with toes and fingers white not being able to use my hands to pull off the suit.

Do you struggle with mental arithmetic?
If you struggle with your mental arithmetic, you're not alone. poor mathematics is a nationwide problem for many adults and children.
Poor numeracy is a huge and neglected problem. According to the most recent Skills for Life survey, almost 17 million people in the UK have numeracy skills below those needed for the lowest grade at GCSE – for literacy, the comparable figure is five million. Recent studies have also shown that numeracy is a more reliable indicator of disadvantage in life than literacy.
The figure has also risen significantly over the last eight years. The number of adults with the numeracy skills of a primary-school pupil has increased from 15 million to that of 17 million. It now equates to some 49% of all 16- to 65-year-olds – practically half. Chris Humphries is chairman of National Numeracy (www.nationalnumeracy.org.uk), a new charity launched in March, which is the first organisation of its kind to champion the importance of 'number skills' for people of all age groups. He said that maths had been steadily downgraded in this country since the 40s and 50s, leading to a decline in the number of both available good maths teachers and of pupils studying the subject at A-level. He said poor maths was a 'peculiarly British disease' that fails to blight other parts of the developed world, prompting claims that it was now seriously undermining the country's international competitiveness.
'We have 17 million adults whose maths capabilities are – at best – at the age of an 11 year old,' he said. 'Now that's a scary figure because it means they often can't understand their pay slip; they often can't calculate or give change; they have problems with timetables; they certainly can have problems with tax and even with interpreting graphs, charts and meters that are necessary for their jobs.' A National Numeracy survey of some 2,000 adults revealed that eight in 10 adults 'would feel embarrassed to own up to someone that they were bad at reading and writing'. But only four out of 10 people had the same embarrassment over poor numeracy. Mike Ellicock, the charity's chief executive, said: 'We want to challenge this "I can't do maths attitude" that is prevalent in the UK. It is often a boast or a badge of honour, and that's across the whole of the social spectrum.'
Kids' stuff
And it's not just adults – many children are falling behind in maths at aged 11 and never catching up. And only 15% of them go on to study further maths after the age of 16. Carol Vorderman was, herself, involved in a numeracy study two years ago, carried out for The Conservative Party. 'The facts are that if a child has not been taught maths well in primary school, there is more than a 90% chance they will fail at GCSE,' she reports. 'This means that secondary-school maths lessons make little difference as to where they are ability wise. Almost all primary-school teachers – 96% – gave up maths when they were 16, yet these are the people teaching primary-school children,' she adds.
Wendy Jones, founding trustee of National Numeracy agrees. 'Many primary school teachers don't feel confident because they have not done any maths since they took their GCSE,' she says. 'Teachers' lack of understanding of the subject results in their not teaching it well and this lack of confidence is then passed into the children.' Another problem is parental attitude. 'Women in particular lack confidence in their own ability at maths and pass this on to their children,' says Wendy. 'So there is an attitude of "I'm no good at maths and that's why you find it difficult". 'This lack of confidence is marked and because it is usually mums who spend the majority of time with the children, this can be quite damaging.
What can I do?
Encourage your children to understand the subject by taking an interest yourself – you might even enjoy it
If you are a parent who does lack confidence in maths, how can you help your own struggling child? 'An important part is to check your language and attitude to the subject. Saying you were no good and always hated maths will only make your child less willing to learn,' says Wendy Jones, trustee and founder of National Numeracy. 'We are also looking to parents to make a commitment not to rubbish maths because it can have a real effect on how their children respond to the subject.' Interactive maths-related games can help to bring the fun back and online courses can really help children understand, too.
Plans afoot
The main purpose of the National Numeracy charity is to raise awareness of the issues surrounding this subject for both adults and children. Changes need to be made and Wendy says the government is putting this issue high on the agenda. 'When children are little, they enjoy maths,' she says. 'There are practical toys that help them learn numbers and shapes and they get pleasure from it at this stage.'But something happens when they get to school – the pleasure gets lost and it soon becomes the most hated subject on the timetable. We want this to change,' she goes on. 'Ideally we would like to see specialist maths teachers in primary schools, but lack of money means this is unlikely to happen. What can happen is more support and training for primary school teachers. What we also want to see is that maths becomes more of a cross circular subject – English crops up in other subjects and maths is relevant in all sorts of things, too.
'Teachers have got to be prepared to bring it into other subjects so that it normalises maths and makes it more relevant in a wider spectrum. 'It's down to attitude too – some teachers use maths as a punishment and it contributes to the dread many kids have of it as a subject.' What is going to happen, which was one recommendation from Carol's report, is that children will soon have to learn maths up the age of 18. 'Children will have to stay in some form of education or training up to the age of 17 from September, and then from 2015 the leaving age will be 18,' says Wendy. 'But if children are forced to continue with maths and it is more of the same, then it will not work. It will need a different approach to engage the ones who have not succeeded in their maths GCSE.'
Carol says…
'Numeracy should start when children are very young. They should play with numbers constantly and parents can help with this in the early years.'
Tools to aid learning
You're not on your own when it comes to teaching your children, there are many helpful facilities
Maths Boost: If your primary school aged children are finding it hard to get their head around maths, whether that's the basics or more complicated algebra and problem-solving, then they can link in with Carol Vorderman via video, on her interactive maths tuition website The Maths Factor (www.themathsfactor.com). The site uses games and tools to combine traditional ways of learning with the best of the new methods of teaching, for children aged between four and 12. Some 10,000 children have already signed up to the site and are mastering arithmetic, times tables and algebra and showing dramatic improvements in their children's mathematical ability. You can sign up for a monthly subscription or buy one-off products like the Times Table School, which is a fun and effective way to help your child learn their times tables up to 12×12, with Carol herself sharing all her hints, tips and tricks.
The Right Tools: The TI-Inspire CX Handheld Graphic Calculator (£74.95, www.studentcalculators.co.uk) is a calculator with
a difference. It can show graphs, equations, data and verbal explanations. Images can be imported onto the backlit screen, bringing concepts to light and making learning interactive and relevant for youngsters. The makers of the TI-Inspire CX Handheld, also produce the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition Graphing Calculator (£65.95, www.sciencestudio.co.uk) which comes with a USB cable for plenty of memory and storage. It also comes with preloaded software including a periodic table for easy learning. One of the best features on the graphing calculator is the pre-installed app, App4Math, which enables students to enter the maths question in the
same way it appears in a textbook – helping to reinforce maths notation, and create more visual understanding of this sort of problem.
Online Learning: iTutorMaths (www.itutormaths.co.uk) gives GCSE students the chance to see, speak to and hear a tutor online giving them the one-on-one interaction that will help boost grades. From £15 an hour, students can get expert maths tuition and their progress is tracked and reported throughout the course. Ninety per cent of users have improved their results, while 100% have achieved A*-C grades. There are six and 10 lesson courses available to join in on. All your child will need is an internet connection, and a headset so they can interact remotely with their tutor.
Fun Activities: Numicon At Home Kit (www.numicon.com) provides lots of fun maths-related activities for pre-school age, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 aged children (each kit gets more advanced as the child progresses). The kits help them to grasp different maths concepts and make connections with numbers without the grind. There is also a supporting CD with songs that bring numbers to life, as well as practical games and guidance to make numbers enjoyable.

What is TwtrCtr?
TwtrCtr ("TwitterCounter nano") displays a simple, iPhone-optimised view of the Twitter statistics data provided by the TwitterCounter and FollowCost APIs.
Why not just use the normal web page?
Fair point. Yes, the TwitterCounter page is pretty, and (mostly) works in Mobile Safari (except for the Flash graph)... but it isn't formatted well for display on the iPhone screen. TwtrCtr strips it down to the basics and just lets you see your stats, on a single screen.
...waitaminute. You're phishing, aren't you?
Absolutely not. This application does not store any data about the user queried and will never ask for authentication information. All it does is pass through a username to TwitterCounter (without storing that name locally) and then it reformats the results of the query for the iPhone screen.
Who made this then?
TwtrCtr was created by Andy Piper aka @andypiper, a man who is far too obsessed with his own Twitter stats for his own good.
Why don't the stats match what is shown on the TwitterCounter page?
Good question. TwitterCounter appears to a) cache information, so follower count might not always match what you see on twitter.com and b) approximate the daily and monthly predictions depending on the period of history data requested. The values returned in their API don't always match those on the site.
Cool! How did you make it look like an iPhone app?
There's a nice compact framework called iWebKit which provides the styling and scripts to make this behave like an iPhone application. It was modified slightly but that's basically all that is being used here.
Any neat tricks I should know about?
One or two. You can add an icon to your iPhone home screen to launch TwtrCtr any time you like (click the + icon in Safari and then choose "Add to Home Screen"). Also, by selecting the rows that have an > arrow, you can follow links to the user's Twitter profile and homepage URL (if that exists), or view a chart of the last week's progress.
How did you make that nifty graph thing?
Google Charts - let me know if you have any thoughts about how I could improve this/make it more fancy in future.
I get a blank page when I go "back"!
Yep, sorry about that. If you follow a link (such as to the user's Twitter page or their homepage) and then hit the browser's Back arrow, you might get a blank page. Issue with the iWebkit framework, unfortunately. If you use the Home button in the TwtrCtr navbar then moving between TwtrCtr pages should be OK, but I can't fix that for external links.
The stats chart page is blank, or the chart doesn't have a line on it!
More than likely, this is because there's a gap in the statistics data returned from TwitterCounter. It's probably only a temporary issue and your chart will be back in a day or two.
Why? Just... why?
Basically, because the author wanted to hack around with PHP, iPhones, iWebKit, REST, XML and stuff. It's a mashup.

The EADS Corporate Technical Office (CTO) and Russian researchers from the Lavrentiev Institute are collaborating on the evaluation of a new, innovative and efficient propulsion technology. The Skolkovo Foundation Investment Committee approved a grant for a joint research program concerning Continuous Detonation Wave Engines. The total amount of this grant is $2.1 million, EADS will contribute the same amount for the project's budget.
The objective of the research is to develop new engines for future applications. Russian scientists have developed key technologies which complement the know-how developed by EADS. "Our research in Russia is another example of the EADS Corporate Technical Office's strategy of partnering with world class institutes and organizations to develop leading edge aerospace solutions for the future," said EADS Chief Technical Officer Dr. Jean Botti.
A detonation engine is a type of propulsion system that uses detonation waves to combust the fuel and oxidizer mixture. Today, scientists are exploring pulsed and continuous detonation engines. This technology is still very much in the beginning. No detonation engine has been put into production so far, but several test bed engines with pulsed detonation have been built. Russian scientists are looking especially into continuous detonation technology. Theoretically, a detonation engine can operate from subsonic up to a hypersonic flight speed of roughly Mach 5. Detonation engines are believed to have a thermodynamic efficiency higher than other designs like turbojets and turbofans because a detonation wave rapidly compresses the mixture and adds heat at constant volume.
EADS Innovation Works, the corporate research network will collaborate with the Russian Lavrentiev Institute of Hydrodynamics located in Novosibirsk. During past years, EADS has already performed preliminary theoretical and experimental works, mainly in cooperation with the Lavrentiev Institute. These studies aimed at obtaining a first demonstration of the feasibility of a Continuous Detonation Wave Engine for airbreathing and rocket application. Compared to a Pulsed Detonation Engine, this design allows an easier operation in reduced-pressure environment and an increase in engine mass flow rate and thrust-to weight ratio.
In this research program, EADS is taking benefit from its membership in the Russian Innovation Centre Skolkovo. This body has implemented a program of financial support for its residents high-tech companies located at the technology business hub in the Moscow region. If the tasks defined for the first tranche are
successfully executed, the companies can apply for a second grant.
The EADS research centre at Skolkovo is a branch of the Russian Technology Office (RTO) which has been established in 2003 as a part of EADS Innovation Works to facilitate cooperation with the Russian research and development community. Since its opening, the RTO has already managed more than 100 cooperative research and technology programs between EADS and Russian institutions with a focus on advanced engineering tools. EADS's experience in research and technology collaboration with Russian partners has been extremely positive. Russia is providing competitive, high quality cutting-edge technology.

6. Sindarin
A/N: This is a work of fiction and the characters portrayed in this story are the product of the author's imagination. Any resemblance to actual events or persons, living or dead, is coincidental. Real institutions that are mentioned are used absolutely fictitiously (e.g.: there is a Tolkien Society in Germany, but they don't have an office in Berlin and they don't employ any Tolkien scholars).
6. Sindarin
Mina sat at her desk in the small office of the German Tolkien Society and was busy writing replies to various fan mails. Although the third movie of "The Lord of the Rings" had been out for almost a year now, the Tolkien frenzy had been barely reduced in intensity.
She sighed. It was not that she was not grateful. She loved her job at the Tolkien Society, even though the pay was something of a joke. But she was growing tired of answering the same questions over and over again. The ever growing list of FAQs on the homepage not withstanding she was still flooded with questions every day.
She took a look at her watch and frowned. She would have to hurry with her work this evening, or stay in longer on the following day. It was Thursday, and tonight she had to hold her first class of her new course of Sindarin at the Institute for Adult Education. She was really looking forward to the class. She had taken special care to prepare the first lesson, preparing a leaf-let with exercises and a quiz that she thought was pretty funny. She wondered if there would be any students from the previous class she had held at the institute.
A knock on the door interrupted her musings. A thin old man with steel grey hair, a thin, arrogant nose and a bristly moustache entered the office. Mr. Karstens was a rich elderly gentleman and one of the chairmen of the German Tolkien Society. He was deeply involved in the academic study of Tolkien's writings. Now he positioned himself in front of her desk, standing absolutely straight-backed and looked down at her with a stern expression on his face.
"I really don't think you should take on this new job at that institute," Mr. Karstens said. Mr. Karstens was a purist in everything he did, and especially where Tolkien was concerned. He knew Tolkien's youngest son, Christopher Tolkien, the author of the "History of Middle Earth" very well and shared with him the dislike of any departure from Tolkien's original visions. Or Tolkien's original visions as perceived by him. He loathed the movies, the fans, fan art and fan fiction in general.
Mina suppressed a sigh. Who had told Mr. Karstens about her new job at the Institute for Adult Education "Bildung unter den Linden e.V."?
Mr. Karstens disliked that she had the nerve to actually teach Sindarin, Quenya and elvish runes in an evening class. He had actually tried to find a way to stop her from doing so legally. He had not been successful. It is legal to teach anything that is related to academic study, or there would not be any college courses like "How to read and understand XYZ". As a working knowledge of Sindarin, Quenya and elvish runes is useful for the study of Tolkien's writings, it is legal to teach those things and Mina took care to use only books and other resources in her classes that were legally published, not infringing on any copyright. Moreover, Mina had an express permission to teach Sindarin and Quenya (and the runes as well) issued by Tolkien Estate. She had approached a representative of Tolkien Estate on a conference with the issue of teaching the elvish languages. Subsequently she had been granted an audience with Christopher Tolkien. She had discovered that although Christopher Tolkien was very touchy about the way his father's work was treated, he was not in any way narrow-minded. He had told Mina that he thought it impossible to develop a "living language" from the rudiments of elvish grammar and vocabulary, but he wanted to encourage a proper academic study of them. Her résumé as an acclaimed linguist had convinced him that she would not mutilate his father's inventions, and so, in the end Christopher Tolkien had given her his blessing.
Mr. Karstens had had to accept grudgingly that she explained the basics of Sindarin, Quenya and elvish runes to Tolkien fans. Up until now she had done "Elvish for beginners" as an evening class for adult students. She had divided the lessons into two evenings of Sindarin, two evenings of Quenya and one evening about elvish runes. This class had been fun to teach, and apparently her students had enjoyed it, too. She had been asked to teach an additional course in Sindarin as a real language course by the head of the institute. Mina had been amazed and gratified. And of course she had agreed. Tonight she would hold her first class.
She looked at Mr. Karstens and forced herself to smile at him. "I am sorry that you feel that way. But I have to admit that I have taken up the offer. Tonight I will teach the first class. I understand that you want to ensure that Tolkien's work is treated respectfully. But I can promise you that this is the case. My students love and admire Tolkien. That's the reason why they want to learn Sindarin."
She knew better than to try and make Mr. Karstens understand how deeply creative some of her students were, engaging in role plays of "The Lord of the Rings" or "The Silmarillion", writing poems and stories in Sindarin and Quenya, or at least trying to do so, writing music with Sindarin lyrics, and most of all, wanting to be able to really talk in Sindarin.
Mr. Karstens narrowed his eyes. "But it's impossible to really learn Sindarin. There are only the barest rudiments of grammar and vocabulary. It is beautiful, but it is not a real language. It is a linguistic experiment. It should be studied and admired, not mutilated."
Mina knew that her smile looked more like a grimace by now. "I can promise you that I won't mutilate Sindarin in any way."
"But you do develop new words, don't you?" he asked querulously.
Mina sighed. "I explain the way Tolkien developed Sindarin words. I teach how words can be reconstructed."
"Do you make up new words or don't you?" he insisted, not willing to concede a point so easily.
Mina took a deep breath and forced herself to remain calm and composed. "If someone asks me what a German word might be in Sindarin that is not included in the traditional vocabulary but that can be constructed from existing word-stems by using accepted linguistic procedures, then I will indeed explain the procedure and give the word or phrase that can be developed that way."
"Then you do mutilate Tolkien." Mr. Karstens repeated accusingly. For some reason he was in an especially bad mood today.
"I am sorry that you think so, Mr. Karstens," Mina said politely. "But I do need that job and I can only promise you again that I don't do anything that cannot be supported by scientific arguments."
Mr. Karstens was rich. Mina knew that he did not know quite how to react to someone who really needed a third job to get by. She saw her chance to end this conversation and quickly acted on it.
She smiled sweetly at the old man. "If you will excuse me now, I have still a lot to do answering letters about the up-coming conference in Cologne. But I would be really glad if you came with me this or any other evening. Then you could see for yourself that I am not in fact mutilating Tolkien, but that I really try to do my best conveying the beauty Tolkien created and helping other people to appreciate this beauty."
The conference in Cologne was a festival for Tolkien-purists. Mr. Karstens would hold the opening speech and was already nervous about it, although it was still three months till then. It was not a lie, either. There were a large number of letters and e-mails asking about the conference she had to sort yet and reply to individually.
"Oh… well… if that is the case… I'd better not keep you any longer… And – eh – tonight – I'm afraid – I am otherwise – er – engaged. But – eh – perhaps some other time…" Mr. Karstens blushed, then he turned around and marched out of the office.
Mina decided that she was really glad Mr. Karstens was too busy with his many societies and studies to drop into the small office of the German Tolkien Society every day. If he did, she would have given up her beloved job a long time ago.
When he was gone, she sighed again, deeply, and put her face into her hands. She was so sick of this particular argument. She clearly remembered the Tolkien conference she had attended some weeks ago in America. There had been a whole day during the conference that had been spent with nothing but arguing about whether or not it was permissible to develop new words.
Purism. Mina rubbed at her forehead. It was not that she did not think that Tolkien's work should be treated with respect. She most certainly did think that his work should be treated respectfully. And as a linguist she did not like the proliferation of self-styled experts on the elvish languages that swept the internet since Peter Jackson's movies at all. But she failed to understand why it should be such a crime if linguists, trained professionals – for heaven's sake –, expanded on the Sindarin grammar and vocabulary invented by Tolkien. After all, each new creation would have to be backed up by a linguistic explanation and asterisked in any dictionary as a new word.
She also failed to understand how so many Tolkien fanatics could be so sure that they knew exactly what Tolkien's intentions and wishes had been, most of them people who had never known Tolkien at all.
She herself believed that Tolkien would have been fascinated with the "life" his languages had acquired. After all, he had spent most of his life developing the elvish languages, their words, their etymologies, down to inventing the small changes in spelling or sound-shifts that normally occur in languages over the course of centuries and millennia.
Tolkien might have started inventing the elvish languages for his private enjoyment as he wrote in one of his letters. But sometime he had obviously decided that he wanted to share his linguistic creativity. Or he would not have published "The Lord of the Rings", nor answered any letter asking about the elvish languages! Tolkien had been fascinated with the "life" of a language.
Therefore Mina simply could not believe that he would be opposed to the way his languages were coming alive today. Sure, he might be put off by some new words or changes in grammar or pronunciation. But if you take a look at modern languages and their changes, Mina thought, you see that all the time in real life: French or German people throwing fits because of English words "invading" their languages, or internet/TV "corrupting" grammar.
And there were precedents, after all. Esperanto, Klingon. Latin! No one would ever say that you might not learn Latin because there was no native Latin speaker around to teach you the correct pronunciation. There were people at work in the Vatican doing nothing but making up new Latin words for the technical innovations of this day and age. So why should it be impossible to develop Sindarin into a living language or at least into a reasonably well working language?
Why did some people act as if an endeavour to learn how to read, write or speak Sindarin was some kind of sacrilege?
Mina sighed again. Why was it that there always had to be people to come up with rules about everything? Rules, they thought other people ought to obey!
Although she personally did not read or write fan fiction, why should people not get creative that way? And why should they adhere to any 'rules' in their writing? What about the freedom of writing? After all, no one was forced to read any of those stories!
Why should no one try to learn and speak Sindarin?
It was such a beautiful language. It fitted so well into the myths of the elves Tolkien had created. And these myths were such wonderful stories, transporting so many ageless virtues.
Virtues, Mina thought, that were hard to come by in this harsh modern world. And all the more necessary.
Thinking about speaking Sindarin reminded her of the young tramp she had seen on the train a few weeks ago. She still was not sure if she had imagined it that he had sung a Sindarin song. Probably. How should he have learned Sindarin? He had never been in any of her classes. And there were only very few Tolkien scholars either in Europe or in the USA that did any real teaching of Sindarin and Quenya.
It was simply impossible.
And why was she still thinking about this young vagabond anyway?
She shook her head, annoyed with herself and the wild ways her thoughts were going today and resolutely turned back to her work.
It was dark and cold, when she was finally on her way back home that night.
But she was content, if not happy. It was ten o'clock in the evening. She had held her first class of her Sindarin course. It had gone very well. She had known most of the students. Seventeen students all in all. Ten women and seven men. A group of seven were role players who had attended her first course. Two girls were avid fan fiction writers. Three, a young man and two women, had surprised her: they were students of her university course and attended because they liked her Old English class. Will wonders never cease?
The others she did not know. But she would come to know them, working and learning with them for the next twelve weeks. Twelve weeks of fun reading, writing and speaking Sindarin. And getting paid for it as well.
Sometimes, life was good.
She had started the class with the well-known Sindarin hymn to Elbereth.
As she had read it to the students, she had realized that she used an unusual rhythm, a rhythm she did not really know. When she suddenly remembered that it was the very same rhythm she recalled from that tramp she had listened to weeks ago, she almost stopped reading.
If she automatically used the rhythm of his song to read that hymn, had it actually been Sindarin that he had spoken? Had she, after all, not imagined the incident?
No. That would be simply too weird.
After reading the hymn she had explained the basics of Sindarin. She would go into more detail only in the next lesson. This first night she wanted mainly to find out how much her students already knew. She had devised a funny quiz for that purpose and it had worked really well, too. Everyone had participated actively and there had been a good many laughs at failed attempts to pronounce something or coming up with the correct lenient.
Now she was really tired. Weary to her bones. She was glad that tomorrow she would only have to spend three hours at the office. Then the day was hers, to catch up on sleep and her dearest project, the translation of "The Lord of the Rings"..
Mina shuddered. It was another dreary, weary day in November. At the end of November, to be exact. But according to the weather-forecast there was little hope for the cold, grey, rainy weather to dissipate. A real winter with snow and ice was not in sight.
Mina drew her black coat closer around her. She was so cold. Perhaps because she was so very tired. She hurried on through the darkness. Because of some road works she could not take her usual, direct route home from the station but had to go through a pedestrian underpass, reaching the apartment building where she lived from the backside.
Her steps slowed down. It was so gloomy tonight. And there did not seem to be any other person around. Even most windows around were already dark and asleep.
She disliked underpasses. She had read too many stories in the newspapers about attacks on lonely women in such locations. But it was the shortest way. The alternative would have been to get off the train at the next station and walk back. A much longer way to go home after a very long day. She had decided to risk the underpass. After all, this was a fairly safe and quiet neighbourhood. For Berlin, anyway.
She sighed and quickened her pace.
So she drew her coat closer around her and tugged her hands deeply into her pockets, clutching her pepper-spray into her hand.
Nothing would happen. She would be home in a blink. Nothing at all would happen to her.
She walked around the corner and into the underpass.
She stopped dead in her tracks.
On a worn wooden bench at the centre of the underpass the young tramp with the silver-grey eyes and the tangled black dread-locks was sitting. A large black dog with a muzzle white with age was lying at his side. The young man was strumming his guitar in a melody Mina did not recognize. He was singing softly.
And this time there was no doubt in her mind at all.
He was singing in Sindarin.
She stood at the entrance of the underpass and stared at the tramp in amazement.
The young man stopped singing and raised his head. He looked straight at her, his face expressionless. His face was very pale, his hair tangled and dirty. Although he was young, probably no older than twenty-five, the hard life out in the streets had left its mark in his eyes. They were weary and haunted.
"Suílad," Mina said. "Greetings."
The man stared at her with unbelieving eyes. Then he cleared his throat painfully.
"Suílad." he replied in a soft, trembling voice.
