Para uma abordagem sitémica da crise da escola

Documento (.pdf)
AbstractThe authors reflect about the limits of an analysis of the school system that is not capable of highlighting the vast set of social conditions – economic pressures, the weight of the urban logics on the access to housing, the growth of the recruitment base to social groups with popular impoverished origins, etc. These "exterior" to the school factors influence in a decisive way the action of the institutions and of other education agents, as well as the possibilities of effective democratization of the school. Thus, the political measures of compensation reveal to be simple measures of remedy, where one of their ideological foundations tends to considerer schools and teachers as the great responsible for the school's defeat. According to the authors, with the absence of the comprehension of the social factors that take place in educational access and success, we risk to resign to perfect school learning and to contribute in an effective way to the combat against social inequalities.

Rookie Blue Review: The Downfall of Loveby Christine Orlando at . Comments
Falling in love can be an amazing, life-affirming experience…or it can hurt like hell. Add in a fair amount of "Deception" and you can count on the latter.
In my interview with Racheal Ancheril earlier this week, she spoke about Sam and Marlo being put to the test. She wasn't kidding.
Marlo has been juggling too many secrets. It was only a matter of time before they all came spilling out.: Her bipolar disorder, her off the books investigation of a possible pedophile and the fact that she's fallen in love with Sam Swarek.
On the up side, Marlo was right. Kevin Ford was a pedophile and her after-hours investigation may have stopped him from doing harm to another child. But as the case appeared to push Marlo into a manic episode, Andy was forced to let Sam in on her secret.
Sam immediately went into rescue mode because that's what Sam does. He protects the people he cares about even if it means bending the rules. Even if it means breaking them.
Unfortunately, this time he couldn't do it alone. He needed Andy's help and when she balked about forging an entry in Marlo's notebook, he leveraged their feelings for one another to change her mind. It wasn't fair on his part but it was necessary to save Marlo's career.
In the end, Andy told him that she didn't do it for him. She did it for Marlo - and I believed her.
That brings us to Marlo's third secret. She's fallen in love with Sam Swarek.
I don't think she expected that to happen. She once said that she and Sam worked because they were able to keep a certain amount of emotional distance. Was closing that distance part of Marlo's downfall? Did the strength of her feelings for Sam coupled with the intensity of the Kevin Ford case trigger her manic episode?
All I know for certain is that when Marlo shared her feelings with Andy in this Rookie Blue quote, she looked so devastated that I wanted to cry for her.
I fell in love. I just want to feel it, McNally like everyone else gets to. Instead of fearing it, tamping it down, driving it away. | permalink
I don't know what happens next for Marlo but much like Andy, I've grown to care about her and I hope she sticks around.
Keeping Marlo's secrets lead to several other deceptions. Andy had to lie to Oliver, who wasn't thrilled about being ditched. In the end he simply kept doing his job and solved the case. More importantly, Andy lied to Nick and he knew it.
In the scene where Andy wakes Nick, you could see how in love he is with her. It was written all over his face. It couldn't have been easy hearing Traci say that Sam took off to deal with the "latest McNally crisis." Ouch! Even worse was having his new girlfriend lie to his face about it.
But Andy came back and opened up to Nick. She's tired of the secrets and lies. She's tired of playing by Sam Swarek's rules. I think if Sam wants her back, he's going to have to start playing by hers.
Traci was a powerhouse this week as Sam ditched her to help Marlo. Her drug sweep turned deadly when a rival gang decided to take out the competition on her watch.
i couldn't believe that Sam wouldn't pick up the phone when she called him, but Traci's proving to be quick on her feet. She knew she needed backup and she called Steve.
Every week I find myself rooting for these two a little more. I loved the two of them in the elevator. If that had been Sam Swarek with Traci, it would have been all about confidence and bravado. Instead we had a nervous Traci calling out an equally nervous Steve.
You better watch it Nash. You keep calling me on my crap I'm going to fall for you even harder than I already am. | permalink
The look the two shared when the takedown of the two gunmen went off without a hitch was filled with equal parts elation and disbelief.
After turning him down for weeks, Steve finally made a lasting impression. Traci took a huge step and asked him if he wanted to go out and celebrate.
Steve: Say I wanted to get to first base. Are we going to have to take down a whole crime family or something? | permalink
He's going to be one of those guys you don't know whether you want to kiss him or hit him and I couldn't be happier. Traci deserves to have some fun.
Finally, we get to Chris. Poor Chris. It was hard to tell if he was deceiving himself or just desperately trying to hold it all together. It's probably a little bit of both.
He loves Christian like he's his son... only he isn't. But since Chris is the only father Christian has ever known I really hope he doesn't walk out on the boys life all together.
And despite borderline exhaustion and having to endure meat cocktails (meat cocktails?!?) Dov and Gail proved to be good sports as they slapped smiles on their faces in order to be help Chris.
So do you think Marlo's in the clear? Will she and Sam stay together or will this secret and his lingering feelings for Andy tear them apart? With two episodes left in Rookie Blue season 4, is there any future for McSwarek?
C. Orlando is a TV Fanatic Staff Writer. Follow her on Twitter.Tags: Rookie Blue, Reviews
This is such a struggle for me!!! I am 10000000% McSwarek but the writers keep pulling them further and further apart. Andy falls fast and you can tell that she is starting to get serious with Nick (UGH!!). However, if you watch the scene with Andy and Marlo in the car, you can tell Andy is affected by Marlo saying she is in Love with Sam. This was my only hope and maybe I read into it but I swear I saw her hands tighten slightly. I dont know how the producers are going to give hope to McSwarek shippers in the last 2 episodes (I have heard rumors) but it seems far off. I hope these next to eps somehow turn the relationship around somewhat!
Loved this episode and I am starting to love Andy and Nick....even though I still liker her and Sam together. Am I the only one who thinks Oliver is HI-larious!!! The voicemail he left Andy was SOOOO funny after she ditched him in his own patrol car :)
As much as I've done my best, I understood the subtext, strong bet this season, I have lost faith. As after so much distance can be together again Sam and Andy?
Andy is in a dark place as said Ollie, in this strange and false relationship with Nick (who flirts with Chloe).
Sam is devastated after his election to understand that trying to beat Andy have been disastrous!
McSwarek magic was lost. We did not get anything all season, as we believe that it can be reversed in two eps.?
I loved this episode because of Marlo's scenes and Rachael's fantastic portrayal of a layered character. So many shows go over the top with the mental disorders, but Rookie Blue is doing a great job so far! I think it's funny that people are about "cute" Nick/Andy...really now. Have you ever seen a couple without problems on Rookie Blue or, I don't know, in real life? I'm really pondering and into the gray areas that Sam and Andy are in right now--shows their always connection. Luke is back being awesome. Steve/Traci are growing very much on me too. And Chris...poor guy is trying to find his place still.
So far the best episode of S4. It is the only episode that I have watched twice since episode 12 of S3. I think Luke was suspicious of the whole Marlo report and officer going around asking about Kevin issue. Wonder if he will follow up on that. I know this episode is tied to the last 2 episodes of the season. Waiting to see if or how the coverup by Andy and Sam will blow up on their faces.
Great review. I don't have much to add. I thought the actress playing Marlo did a terrific job in this episode and the line about wanting to feel something was heartbreaking. I'm glad that Andy decided to confide in Nick at the end....definitely a major step in their relationship. Traci and Steve taking down the gang was pretty awesome...I'm really enjoying their scenes together. Those Peck siblings definitely have some great one-liners. Overall a very good episode.
I am afraid it is the end of Sam and Andy, which is really sad, I always rooting for these two. But Nick and Marlo are also growing on me, they are not going anywhere soon.

The world's largest chocolate factory switches to "green energy"
May 16, 2007
Barry Callebaut, the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality cocoa and chocolate products, will switch to "green energy" to operate its largest chocolate factory in Wieze, Belgium. The company has signed a contract with Belgium's leading private renewable energy company, Electrawinds, for the installation of a 35-megawatt biofuel installation, which will power the production of more than 250,000 tonnes of chocolate a year. The energy produced is equivalent of that consumed by 90,000 households. By switching to biofuel as an energy source, the production at the world's largest chocolate factory will become CO2 neutral. Barry Callebaut will make a significant contribution to achieving the Kyoto protocol, which seeks to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases to fight global warming. The project is in line with the company's environmental policy.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff is taking the next evolutionary step in multinational and interagency interoperability this month with the renaming of one of the U.S. military's premier events. The Joint Warrior Interoperability Demonstration is now officially the Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration, which better reflects its ongoing metamorphosis from a purely service-centric technology showcase to a forum where participants from diverse organizations and many nations work on different types of interoperability. Future events will continue to focus on capabilities that can be delivered to the warfighter quickly, a change that was introduced in the 2004 event.
Years of designing, testing and deploying information architectures and technologies are paying off in the success of operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. These successes in turn are laying the groundwork for future network-centric capabilities that will bring with them a considerable momentum for change in the U.S. defense infrastructure.
An event that has become a staple of advancements in military technology has undergone an evolution and now aims at providing theater commanders with immediate solutions to operational interoperability problems before systems move into the field and are tested under fire-live fire.
Researchers are developing a prototype technology that may replace traditional command posts. The system consists of manportable, lightweight computers loaded with battle management software and collaboration tools. The devices will permit commanders to conduct highly mobile operations while maintaining situational awareness and connectivity to superiors and subordinates across the battlefield.
Participants in the Joint Warrior Interoperability Demonstration are reeling from the triumph of this year's event, not only because all the pieces came together successfully but also because the lessons learned promise to provide real support to today's warfighters. In addition to focusing on interoperability issues, other substantive items were addressed, including the unique challenges of operating in the Pacific Theater, handling information disclosure problems and ensuring that network vulnerabilities are identified. Broad and successful foreign involvement in the U.S.-sponsored event confirmed that collaboration among nations is essential to defeating today's adversaries.
Defense in depth is the key to securing what will be one of the world's largest intranets. The U.S. Navy is using a layered approach to protect the systems that will connect all of its land commands and, through satellites, its ships at sea.
Buoyed by pinpoint impact and target destruction of successive ballistic missile test warheads in space, the U.S. Navy and the Missile Defense Agency are moving to more difficult engagement scenarios. This sea-based element of ballistic missile defense builds on the existing Aegis weapon control system and Standard Missile infrastructure to extend battlespace.
Members of the U.S. armed forces will gather this month to participate in a major joint integrating experiment that could change the way the nation engages adversaries in the near future. According to military leaders, the experiment is the culminating point for assessing how the United States can conduct rapid, decisive operations in this decade.
The U.S. Army's infostructure is falling into formation under a new command that is responsible for the operation, management and defense of that service's information systems worldwide. The organization's mission-provide a high-speed, secure, interoperable knowledge enterprise across the Army and around the globe that plugs into joint systems and the Global Information Grid.
Military doctrines about fighting in cities and towns are evolving, and the U.S. Army is turning to high technology systems to teach and evaluate how warfighters will adapt to the new objectives in an emerging battlespace. The service is examining tactics, techniques and procedures and developing concepts that support maneuvers that can transition from offense and defense to stabilization and support.

Too power hungry and don't know when to give up. I wanna see luffy whoop his ass and have Coby backing him on the battlefield.
I like him because he's the kind of antagonist who isn't just physically overwhelming. He's also tactful and really knows how to alter the way a battle goes without using his fists. He spread fake news through Squard, and Squard tried killing Whitebeard. I mean, that's really smart on his end. And he purposefully got the better of Ace, knowing how to push buttons on him.
I can understand the hate for Akainu, but personally I think he's badass, tactful, and someone I'd like to see more of honestly.
I want to see Luffy kick his ass when they next meet. No doubt Luffy will go berserk when he fights Akainu. It will be friggin' epic! :D

The big question: Who is "Bachelor" Juan Pablo taking to Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici's wedding on Sunday?
There's some speculation on Twitter that Juan Pablo will take his daughter, Camila or his baby mama, Carla Rodriguez.
Others think that he may show up with his final pick, but that's not going to happen. Mostly because … well, that's a spoiler for another day.
Sean and Catherine's wedding will be broadcast live on ABC on January 26 at 8 p.m.
The network has confirmed that Juan Pablo will be there, but there's no confirmation as to who he brings to the big event.
My guess? Juan Pablo goes solo. If he does show up with someone on his arm, it may take the focus away from the Sean and Catherine's big day.
Will Juan Pablo give Sean some sex pointers before Sean does the wedding night horizontal mambo with Catherine? Maybe so.
After all, ABC was nice enough to pay Sean to talk to Juan Pablo about how to make out with 27 girls in the Bachelor mansion when he started his "journey" to find
a job in show biz love.

Flashes of Inspiration: The Work of Harold Edgerton
Flashes of Inspiration explores the extraordinary ingenuity of Harold Edgerton through historic photographs, artifacts (including his cameras and lamps), and reproductions from his laboratory notebooks. The materials of the exhibition are drawn from the MIT Museum and the Institute Archives and Special Collections. The exhibition also features interactive displays that allow visitors to stop time, as Doc did, with a stroboscopic flash, or explore in greater depth the man and his photographs.
Born in Fremont, Nebraska, Harold "Doc" Edgerton (1903-1990) began his graduate studies at MIT in 1926. He became a professor of electrical engineering at MIT in 1934. In 1966, he was named Institute Professor, MIT's highest honor.
With his development of the electronic stroboscope, Edgerton set into motion a lifelong course of innovation centered on a single idea – making the invisible visible. An inveterate problem-solver, Edgerton succeeded in photographing phenomena that were too bright or too dim or moved too quickly or too slowly to be captured with traditional photography.
In the early days of his career, Edgerton's subjects were motors, running water and drops splashing, bats and hummingbirds in flight, golfers and footballers in motion, his children at play. By the time of his death at the age of 86, Edgerton had developed dozens of practical applications for stroboscopy, some that would influence the course of history.
The strides that Edgerton made in night aerial photography during World War II were instrumental to the success of the Normandy invasion and, for his contribution to the war effort, Doc was awarded the Medal of Freedom. During the Cold War, Edgerton and his partners at EG&G (Edgerton, Germeshausen, and Grier) made it possible to document nuclear explosions, an advance of incalculable scientific significance. In the last three decades of his life, Edgerton concentrated on sonar and underwater photography, illuminating the depths of the ocean for undersea explorers such as Jacques Cousteau, who dubbed his good friend "Papa Flash."
Doc's genius for revealing slices of time to the naked eye also engaged the public imagination. In part, this had to do with his astute choice of subject matter: Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, the acrobats of the Moscow Circus, British tennis star Gussie Moran. But Doc's most famous study – and possibly his favorite – the milk-drop coronet, transcended its simple subject. The image, formed by the splash of a drop of milk, not only introduced the poetry of physics into popular culture, but forever altered the visual vocabulary of photography and science.
For more information, visit the Edgerton Center at MIT, which includes links to a video of Edgerton in action and to Strobe Alley.

Smokers Have Heart Attacks Earlier Than Nonsmokers
And women are more likely than men to need emergency treatment 6 months later, study finds
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 5 (HealthDay News) -- Smokers have heart attacks earlier in life than nonsmokers, and women smokers are more likely than men to suffer complications after a heart attack, according to a new study.
Researchers examined data on 3,588 patients admitted to the University of Michigan Medical Center from 1999 through 2006 after suffering a heart attack. About 24 percent of the patients were current smokers.
Male smokers were nine years younger than male nonsmokers when they were admitted, while female smokers were 13 years younger than female nonsmokers.
Six months after their heart attack, 13.5 percent of female smokers required emergency treatment to restore blood flow in the heart, compared with 4.4 percent of male smokers, the U-M Cardiovascular Center researchers said.
The study was recently published online ahead of print in the American Journal of Cardiology.
"The differences in outcomes among women smokers may reflect inherent biological differences between genders, or possibly less aggressive medical management of women that's been described by other investigators," lead author Dr. Michael Howe, a cardiology fellow, said in a U-M news release. "Either way, it clearly emphasizes the need for increased physician awareness and vigilance, in women in particular, after an acute coronary event."

Lexus RX Personalized Settings
in Lexus
As you know after buying a new Lexus you are handed a personalized setting sheet and they set up an appointment a month later for you to come in and have the settings done at no cost. Most of the settings that are standard are not changed. What settings do you change and why?
There are a lot more of these options than described as LPS, commonly known as C-best options. My 2001 AWD RX300 has the c-best options set so that I can disable the A/C compressor indefinitely, and the compressor operation is unlinked from the defrost/defog/demist mode.
I do NOT use the compressor unless actual cooling is required.
Later c-best versions (04+?) allowed a setting wherein the system would not automatically switch to cooling mode once the cabin temperature climbs to within a few degrees of your setpoint.
That "switch", if allowed, can prove to be hazardous since the interior surface of the windshield is no longer warmed once the system switches to cooling mode.
danl2 Posts: 2Is it possible to do the personalized settings myself. Recently I bought an aftermarket replacement key, it came with relatively easy instructions, total cost was $90 vs dealer quote of $235 for key and programming. If the personal settings work about the same it shouldn't be too tough. Any help would be appreciated.
blrchi Posts: 2Its all personal preferences. For ex, the way door locks operate, the keyboard on nav screen, ABCD vs standard querty key board & so on.
If you are happy & comfortable with the default settings, leave it at that & enjoy it. I bet most of the people don't change the defaults.
The only setting I am going to have changed at this point in time is the headlight sensitivity. I want my head lights to come on a lot sooner than the standard setting. An example is that last week they did not come on until 5:50 PM (CST) and I would have like them to come on about 30 minutes sooner. It was a cloudy day and most cars on the road had their head lights on and I wished mine had come on with the automatic setting. My wife's ES330 was the same way and she had her's set at the most light sensitive setting. I am going to have my RX set the same way. A #1 setting on a scale of 1-6. #3 is standard. All of the other settings I will probably leave as they came. At the personalized setting appointment they also check your Lexus over and I want them to evaluate the dashboard rattle I have had since I drove it off the lot. I plan on having this corrected at the free oil change at the 5000 mile service and will probably arrange for a loaner car as I have been told to correct rattles may take as much as a couple of days.
Does anyone know what the dealer only changes are to personalized settings. It is my understanding you are only allowed one opportunity to have the dealer make the changes at no cost and any other requests after the first are charged for. I have made a number of changes on the settings but wanted to know what the other options are. Thanks ahead of time

Definitions for enthalpyˈɛn θæl pi, ɛnˈθæl-
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word enthalpy
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
en•thal•pyˈɛn θæl pi, ɛnˈθæl-(n.)(pl.)-pies.
a quantity associated with a thermodynamic system, expressed as the internal energy of a system plus the product of the pressure and volume of the system.
Category: Thermodynamics
Origin of enthalpy:
1925–30; < Gk enthálp(ein) to warm in (en-en -2+thálpein to warm)
Princeton's WordNet
heat content, total heat, enthalpy, H(noun)
(thermodynamics) a thermodynamic quantity equal to the internal energy of a system plus the product of its volume and pressure
"enthalpy is the amount of energy in a system capable of doing mechanical work"
In thermodynamics, a measure of the heat content of a chemical or physical system.
uE000147219uE001, where H is enthalpy, U is internal energy, p is pressure, and V is volume.
Origin: From ἐνθάλπω.
Enthalpy is a measure of the total energy of a thermodynamic system. It includes the internal energy, which is the energy required to create a system, and the amount of energy required to make room for it by displacing its environment and establishing its volume and pressure. Enthalpy is a thermodynamic potential. It is a state function and an extensive quantity. The unit of measurement for enthalpy in the International System of Units is the joule, but other historical, conventional units are still in use, such as the British thermal unit and the calorie. The enthalpy is the preferred expression of system energy changes in many chemical, biological, and physical measurements, because it simplifies certain descriptions of energy transfer. Enthalpy change accounts for energy transferred to the environment at constant pressure through expansion or heating. The total enthalpy, H, of a system cannot be measured directly. Thus, change in enthalpy, ΔH, is a more useful quantity than its absolute value. The change ΔH is positive in endothermic reactions, and negative in heat-releasing exothermic processes. ΔH of a system is equal to the sum of non-mechanical work done on it and the heat supplied to it.

So it is 4-0-1 in my favor just today.
Let's look back at the past:
Boozer issue - Draw (for 3 more weeks), while I and others here know my points for Chicago keeping Boozer over selling a great draft pick to be rid of his last year were better, Fierce still has 3 weeks before the deadline to hope this 'very good' possible trade idea of his happens.
No chance now that Deng was dealt (wasn't that the better Bulls trade Fierce? Didn't you say they would trade Boozer for an expiring to extend Deng? Woops! Wrong AGAIN).
Celtics were right to draft Melo over my guy Moultrie b/c Melo fit a team positional need better. Melo a bust, moultrie showed a lot of promise before an injury. - Fierce wrong
Moultrie was not a fit because he was redundant with Jeff Green. Even back in college Moultrie was a rebound machine stretch 5 in the Bosh/Ibaka mold. he rarely shot beyond 15-18" Green has played some SG and is an athletic wing. - Fierce wrong
The Celtics lost in 2010 because they did not average over 40 rebounds a game and it was inevidable b/c of that stat and hoe historic it was (stats don't lie). I called bogus on that. It was just a matter of time. The Heat won in 2013 averaging less rebounds a game than the 2010 Celtics. - Fierce wrong
The Celtics lost the finals in 2010 more b/c they were a bad rebounding team than b/c of injuries. The Celtics were up 3-2 when minutes into game 6 their starting C and best rebounder was injured. That should be enough evidence right there. Need more? They would have closed it out at home if Ray made two 3's (his career average %) in game 3 and could not b/c Artest hurt took his legs away. The 2012 playoffs KG was DOMINANT on the boards. He was still recovering in 2010. He wasn't old and washed up as 2012 proved, he was hurt. - Fierce wrong
I will reluctantly give Fierce the 'Sully should not be traded for Varejao' victory b/c Sully has met my expectations for his entire career much quicker and it was too much to gamble on Varajao being the missing link even before he and Rondo both ended up hurt for the second half of last season.
However, I will not concede that a team with a small title window should not consider trading a rookie who could be a future all-star for a veteran who greatly increased their title chances. I am sure the '87 or '88 Celtics would have given up Reggie Lewis (or the pick they used on him) to add Mychel Thompson or Adrian Dantley. Those players were both veterans who put the Lakers and Pistons over the top those years (years they beat the Celtics who were the 2nd and 3rd best teams). If Fierce disagrees he would be wrong.
Fierce was wrong to say I could not discuss objectively and make a case for Rondo and Wallace to Indiana for Hill, Granger, two draft picks and tons of $ savings was 'fair' value.
Fierce is wrong to continue to say that I feel the player swap of Rondo for Hill is fair. That is a LIE and I never said that.
Fierce was right once is some argument over a trade I wanted with Phoenic involving Dragic and Dudley being possible b/c of some new salary cap condition i was unaware of.
Totals before today:
6-2 Ram (75%)
Totals after today:
10-2 Ram (83%)
Totals when Boozer is not traded in 3 weeks:
11-2 Ram (85%)
Totals if Fierce says that under no circumstances should a contender with a small championship window trade a likely future all-star for a 30ish veteran who makes them a title favorite.
12-2 Ram (87%)
Then we'll just have to wait until Gordan Hayward gets over 11.5 million a year this summer and/or Olynyk develops into an all-star/playoff teams 2nd best player to determine who won our other disagreement.
Do you have other examples of where you 'won' Fierce?
I mean it will shorty be at 85% on the 13 examples I provided. I said 70-80% before today's beating. So there must be at least 1-2 more out there where you won. Remember, my trade speculation are never predictions, so you can't get me there.
I guess if the Celtics do not win 32 games I will have lost that one. Probably will. Remember I said they will win 36 with this current roster and no minor trades that weaken it. 32 with minor trades that weaken the team (Lee and Craw for Bayless/Anthony weakened it), 28 games if they make a trade of a guy like Green, Bass or Bradley and 24 games if they trade Rondo.

Skirmish maps concept
Looking back at some old maps from Realmaps, i noticed a lot of the older maps are very small (file size) while being good sized gameplay wise. One thing that annoy me a lot online is most good maps are a pain to d/l and take a lot of space on my HD so i'm forced to restrict myself from d/l / trying them... Also most players have a low patience threshold and would just quit when a new map show up and they don't have it...
So my idea would be to make generic maps that mostly reuse currently used textures and sounds (and prefabs) to keep d/l small, but make up for number and variety (this would fit INF quite well since battles can be fought anywhere at a moment notice). They would be easy to make and their small file size would allow a server to keep a large variety of them, as well as not scaring players with long download time...
Having well designed and decorated maps is cool, but when you end up with only a few maps to play (that are played out quickly)... I guess you get the idea...
So, anyone like that concept?
Oh yeah, skirmish maps should have a SK in their name so everyone know they are a small d/l and not meant to be a masterpiece but a cool battleground...

To add to my idea, the map could be divided between theme and not have specific names so players would still have to guess where they will "land on" when the map is loaded.
They could be :
-Trenches (war thorn battlefield with trenches and lot of debris, crater and man made covers...)
-Industrial (industrial complexe)
-Underground base (Something like Siberia or Servenaya)
-Military Stockpile (like Arsenal)
-Ruined city (bombed out city block)
-Forest (just trees, water, and anything green in between )
-Jungle (alike forest, but more foliage and humidity maybe a lot more of ambiant sounds)
-Snow (glacier, tundra, frozen lake, mountain... )
-Urban (Still standing buildings and houses)
Edit :
-Tunnels (Man made or natural ones, Dark and poorly lit)
-Mines (Both open or underground ones, with mining equipment, big holes and maybe flooded or caved in areas)
-Research Center (you know about thoses)
-Skyscraper (you fight inside a skyscraper, all with windows, elevator shafts, maintenance levels and lot's of rooms and furnitures)
Please add if you have others...

Not sure of what you mean...
|10th Nov 2001, 02:34 AM
Well, a wayz back, I made a mappack for just this occasion. One map was a trench map(DM-INF-Trenches), and the other was just two bases, with a maze and tower in middle(DM-INF-TrainingCamp). People didn't seem to like either for some reason or another, but the trench map actually made it to a server(wow). You can grab them at my site, or just trenches at Realmaps. I have no more plans to do any more of those. They are fun to make, cuz thay are easy though. Did those pretty much in one weekend.
Spank you very much

thats exactly the problem. mappers want to create creative maps. this can't be done with just the standart textures most of the time (well, now we have more textures, but most of the time its just not what i need). imagin a angelheart map with just standart textures... you see? still nice to play, but it wouldn't be the same.

Maybe some texture packs could be made to make short download maps possible. Also making some reuseable geometry to make several variants of a maps so we could have several different battlefields instead of just one...
Well, maybe i should try to learn mapping so i could try it myself...

I'm pretty sure simple maps can be devised without making them downright ugly. I'm not sure but i think many mappers use texture where proper lighting effects would have done it just as well (i don't know if lighting makes map grow larger in file size or have any serious performance issues).
Takes a map like Siberia : pretty simple design, no outstanding textures yet very fun and not ugly at all (look nicer than many maps i seen using more elaborate textures). Maps like Chasm would look a lot better using more lighting effects without needing any change to the textures.
Anyway, i'm probably speaking through my hat, but if i make sense...

Jaymian, i think i do know why your training camp did not make it anywhere. I'm downloading it right now but by the look of the screeny i can say it's just too bland, with large empty space... I'm pretty sure you could have added some boxes, maybe a few holes in the ground or some small buildings and a few fenses without much work. Also to overcome the bland look of your textures, some lighthing effects (moonlight, some shadows, a few blinding spotlights) would have helped...
Like i said i know little about mapping, but knowing how i usually do things, i would have scavenged a few things from other maps, put them in one in an intersesting fashion, add some light effects to give it a more pleasing appearence then i would have mostly done it... I'm good at drawing but i suck with drawing programs so i would not rely on that to make a map...
The more i think of it, the more i want to learn to do it...
|10th Nov 2001, 12:17 PM
TrainingCamp is a box factory as people put it. That's like the only cover in that map. I like they way they look, but I'm a freak mapper.

Hum... I just tryied it and i guess there is more problem than just the look Jaymian...
I just wonder who would use such a training camp to train themselves. What would they learn there exept being sitting ducks and machinegun fodders?
|10th Nov 2001, 04:29 PM
Maybe swat teams to do entry training. Or maybe I didn't think of the best name. I was going to call it Snipercamp2, after my first map, but a friend pointed out how it wasn't like the first, so I just came up with that. But hey, who said you had to like/play my maps. The reason I started mapping was because I didn't like a lot of maps that were out there, and wanted something different. So go to it new mapper. We'll see how perfect your maps are.
Spank you very much

Don't misunderstand, i did not mean to downgrade your work, you did what you believed was right... I don't think i will do much better if i ever convince myself to try...
I do like your trench map, i do think you should do others like that one...
|11th Nov 2001, 03:36 AM
i see your point, but please elaborate more on 'lighting effects'... not sure if i get what you mean, but stuff like sunset lighting gets boring as well if it is used in every other map

Well, i mean more lights and shadows. Most maps i seen have mostly the same lighting level for most of it, very little contrast between inside or outside and most of the time don't bother to add light sources... Of course things like blinking lights or setting or rising sun effects are cool, but it's not what i was thinking about...
One reason i like Cosovo (both day and night) is the author did bother to make a significant difference between shadows and light. This both make it more real as well as making it harder for a player to abuse of the gamma correction since some area of the map would become blinding or too dark, so they mostly have to accept some area to be blinding and some others very dark and hard to see... At least it is for me when i'm playing.
|12th Nov 2001, 12:49 AM
I think a lot of the problem you are dealing with when it comes to all these new maps that are large to download (due to textures of course) are not the fault of the textures themselfs, but the fault of the mapper. I'm guilty as the rest, but I'm getting bettter.
What I mean by this is not every texture needs to be 256x256. I have seen small brushes that are like the area of 32x32x32 (real small box) that are using textures that are 256x256 scaled down 4X to .25
This is a waste! sure, like I said, I'm guilty of it in the paste but in some cases you might have a wall that is far off and you are never going to get close to it... and it does not NEED a 256x256 texture. 128x128 is fine on a wall that is 128 units tall, IF you never get all that close to it.
My point being, most of these texture packs are big simply because the mapper does not evaluate the right texture size for the brush and so the texture packs are MUCH larger than they need to be.
How many mappers out there use 256x256 for every texture and then scale it down far more than it should be done.... most.
Just my 2 cents... (ok more like $5 and some change)
|12th Nov 2001, 08:58 AM
mappers can also cut down the download size when they delete all brushes after the last rebuild
the downside is that nobody could change the map afterwards, though [without the original file]
|12th Nov 2001, 11:48 AM
I have many times wondered if this would be still play fine and all... like what kind of crazy bugs could come of this later.
But I LIKE the idea from a standpoint of "it's done, now NO ONE messes with it".
Interesting idea never the less.

I guess i would not mind if the mappers would delete extra and no longer nessessary files from their packs if it could save me quite a few megs on my HD (My UT dir is becomming huge!). I think the files needed to edit the map should be made availiable in some other pack so thoses who don't need it wouldn't have to waste space (and increase d/l time) needlessly...
Well, maybe some day it will happen .

The bronze statue of Hee Haw star Minnie Pearl has abruptly moved from downtown Centerville to a hotel in Linden, TN. Rod Harris, who led the effort to create and erect the statue in 2004, is battling the town, which wants to rearrange the statue's position in Centerville to make way for renovations. The statue was funded with the proviso that is would never move from its perch in Centerville.[Roadsideamerica.com Team, 03/04/2009]

After receiving an anonymous donation of $150,000, a Centerville, Tennessee project to create a statue of legendary country character Minnie Pearl is underway. The larger-than-life bronze will depict the Pearl character as brought to life for over 50 years by Sarah Ophelia Cannon, who died in 1996. Minnie Pearl appeared on Hee Haw, the Grand Ole Opry, and other TV shows. The statue is scheduled to be completed by a Montana sculptor in 2005, for placement in the town's courthouse square.[04/21/2004]
Centerville, Tennessee - Grinder's Switch - Minnie Pearl
In Minnie Pearl's comedy act she always said she was from Grinder's Switch, Tennessee. Many people thought she made the place up, but it is a real place -- only it isn't a town. Grinder's Switch was a place where a spur track came off the main railroad and her Father would load lumber from his nearby sawmill onto the train cars. As a child she spent many hours there with her father and watching the men work and playing. The depot is still there. In her autobiography from 1980 she said the place hadn't changed in 50 years.
It still hasn't changed much, the spur track is gone but the old loading depot is still there sitting out there in the woods. At the end of the book Minnie states, "I wish for all of you a Grinder's Switch"[Bill Carter, 02/18/2010]
- Directions:
- Out of Nashville take highway 100 West for about 45 miles and you will come to Centerville, keep going through town and you will soon come to highway 50. Turn right go over the bridge across the Duck River and go about 4 miles, you will come to two signs one says Hickman County Fair the other says Minnie's Grinder's Switch, turn right and past the fairgrounds the road ends, turn left and the old Depot is behind the fairgrounds, there is a road right in front, there is no parking lot but I pulled off the road at the junction. If you are coming from I-40 east or west just east of Dickson there is a new highway 840, go south down this road and it will take you to highway 100.

For our first year homeschooling, (kindergarten) I loved the idea of an all-in-one language arts program. As promised, the program really is all-in-one. However, I found the coverage of most of the subjects to be far to light for my liking. Also, the organization off the materials was a bit lax as well.
By the end of the year, I had supplemented with additional handwriting, spelling, and reading curricula because the coverage was just too light to really work. This curriculum may work for a gifted student who needs little to no repetition, but for my son, it was nowhere near enough.
The word lists often had errors in them (words listed twice, words not covered yet, etc). The teacher's manual made no distinction between outside reading materials and the included readers. This meant going through the entire book and picking out all the books I needed from the library just so I would have them in time.
I can't express enough disappointment with the spelling coverage. I got All About Spelling to fill in the gaps, and noticed huge gaps in the LLATL coverage of spelling rules - basically, there were none. They never attempted to explain vowel usage, or when to use k, instead of ck, etc. It was just a guessing game.
It wasn't all bad though. Many of the activities and lessons were fun and effective. The readers were great - I'd honestly consider buying just the readers for next year.
If you have a student who can learn from one light lesson, then I'm sure this curriculum would work very well. For my family, it's just not complete.

We have used most levels of LLATL. My older children used levels Tan (6th) - Golds (12th) from the time we discovered this program. My youngest now has used part of the Blue (it didn't fit her at that time), and all of the Red and Yellow. We now have the Orange and I have read through it. As with all other levels I get excited looking at all that is in stored for the new year.
LLATL is very complete and offers a good deal of variety in the lessons. My dd actually looks forward to her lessons. Besides the normal dictation, grammar, spelling, writing, etc you will also see fun activities sprinkled throughout the books. One fun lesson that comes to mind is when the child becomes a detective after reading a section taken from Encyclopedia Brown.
Looking over the Orange Book I know my dd will love the writing components: making her own book of poems and the newspaper project. The sound of the latter didn't thrill me till I saw the lessons. The authors of LLATL have a great way of making learning fun.
I do the spelling just as designed in LLATL. You are to add your child's misspelled words to the weekly list. This way they focus on works they need work on.
I have tried other Language Arts programs and none have come close to this one. I realize no curricula is a fit for all families/ children, but for us this one is tops. I could not be happier.
I would like to agree with Titus2 when she said:
" This is NOT a series where you can grasp the full impact by doing one book. The full effect of LLATL can be found in the consistent usage of each grade (color) level. This is a wonderful program that DOES teach what's needed if you stick with it. It's hard to see the forest, when focusing on one tree....given the opportunity, this program can really shine!"

Love this program! After 13 years of homeschooling I think I've finally found something that works for each child, and that lays a great foundation for reading, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing.
I love that each lesson is different in some way, and doesn't bore you with repetitive worksheets. It really seems to have a Charlotte Mason approach that I love. The books you read with the programs and interesting and fun!
I plan to stick with this through high school.

This is an all in one program. The Blue Book - listed as grade one - begins at what I would label a Kinder stage...just beginning to recognize letters and sounds. By the middle of Blue book, the kids are reading those short CVC words and can make out simple stories.
The Red book is set up differently than the future books. It includes a LOT of cutting, pasting, and "have your teacher read", however, it is quite easy to skip those portions or have your child read them for himself if he/she is a strong reader. Red book follows along with it's own readers which the children use to build a cute "reading chart" out of.
We found the rest of the LLATL books to be very gentle in approach and consistent at laying a foundation for future writing assignments and grammar as we went through the series.
This is NOT a series where you can grasp the full impact by doing one book. The full effect of LLATL can be found in the consistent usage of each grade (color) level. This is a wonderful program that DOES teach what's needed if you stick with it. It's hard to see the forest, when focusing on one tree....given the opportunity, this program can really shine!
PS: We have also used this program Red Book through Green Book and then sent that child off to public school....they excelled in English class. :0)
