Maybe you're like me, and you didn't immediately hop aboard HBO's mythology-drenched fantasy series "Game of Thrones" when it debuted last year.
(My defense: I hadn't yet taken over as the paper's TV critic.)
I'd heard good things about the big-budget medieval epic, so I halfheartedly tried parachuting in a couple of times once the season was well under way. But it felt like tackling War and Peace. In Russian. In the dark.
The expansive cast, multiple story lines and complex back story — not to mention my lack of familiarity with the Dothraki language, White Walkers and direwolves — seemed too intimidating. Might as well flip the channel and see what those Kardashians were up to …
Fast forward a few months, and now it's my job to review television shows. When the screener for hotly anticipated season two landed in my mailbox, I figured I'd try an experiment: Could a "Thrones" virgin jump in at the start of the second season and a) have any idea what's going on and b) become hooked?
The answer to "a" is kind of; for "b," definitely.
After watching the season two premiere, I camped out on my couch that weekend and plowed through season one. Not because I had to, although it certainly cleared up a lot of questions. I did it because I wanted to, because this season's premiere was so engrossing I had to know the narrative that led up to it.
Everything from the acting and writing to the sumptuous sets and creative storytelling is top-notch in this sprawling series, based on A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy novels by Northwestern University journalism grad George R.R. Martin.
"Thrones" is like "The Sopranos" — with swords. It's about family and the pursuit of power. Instead of modern-day New Jersey, we're transported to a mythical land called Westeros, where a multitude of dueling factions scramble for a seat upon the Iron Throne while outside threats lurk from afar. (And instead of the Sopranos' strip club Bada Bing!, we have brothels where the naughty goings-on would make Tony blush.)
"Thrones" has its fair share of fantasy elements: omnipotent dragons and supernatural White Walkers with the power to take over corpses, to name a few. But the writers do a masterful job balancing the out-there stuff with enough realism to avoid alienating an audience that might otherwise be turned off by the fantasy genre.
"Thrones" is a show that's not afraid to take risks. In season one's penultimate episode, the evil teenage King Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) gave the green light to decapitate the protagonist, Lord Eddard "Ned" Stark. The Stark role had been played by Sean Bean, a fine actor who suffered more misfortune when he got blown to bits in the pilot for ABC's "Missing."
Season one of "Thrones" debuted to 2.8 million viewers, according to Nielsen. By the time the finale rolled around 10 episodes later, it had picked up another 1 million fans. HBO says the program averaged an impressive 9.3 million viewers per episode when you factor in on-demand and DVR playback.
The freshman series snagged Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for best drama. Peter Dinklage, who plays the sharp-witted and increasingly powerful dwarf Tyrion Lannister, walked away from both award ceremonies clutching a statuette for best supporting actor.
Bottom line on "Thrones:" Better late than never. This is a show worth watching, and worth the effort it might take for newbies to get up to speed. (The season one boxed set is for sale and HBO Go subscribers can watch the series on demand. HBO2 is running season one's final four episodes Thursday and Friday night.)
If you're diving into "Game of Thrones" for the first time, here's a primer on some of the characters you'll see in Sunday's season two premiere:
King Joffrey: This ruthless teen took over the Iron Throne after the recent death of his father, King Robert Baratheon. Joffrey doesn't know it yet but Robert wasn't his father. The real baby daddy is golden-haired Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), who also happens to be the twin brother of Joffrey's mother, Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey). Eeewww.
Tyrion Lannister: The less tall, less attractive brother of Jaime and Cersei, Tyrion is a party boy from a crazy-rich family. He now has the unenviable task of keeping Joffrey in line.
Robb Stark (Richard Madden): This righteous son of decapitated Lord Stark is leading the North's rebellion. He's pretty ticked off about what happened to his dad.
Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright): Robb's younger brother can't walk. That's because Jaime pushed him from a castle window after Bran caught Jaime and his sister in flagrante.
Daenerys "Dany" Targaryen (Emilia Clarke): Her family used to hold all the power until the now-dead King Robert snatched it away. She's been living across the Narrow Sea in exile, but the newly widowed Dany hopes to return to Westeros and claim what's hers. A trio of baby dragons has her back.
Jon Snow (Kit Harington): Another one of Lord Stark's kids, although he's technically a bastard. As a result, he's treated like a second-class citizen. Jon is part of the Night's Watch, the border patrol agents stationed along a massive wall that separates the north end of the kingdom from the feral folks, White Walkers and other scary stuff lurking outside.
Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane): The late King Robert's brother thinks the Iron Throne belongs to him, and he plans to take it. So does his younger brother, Renly (Gethin Anthony).

Welcome to my home page!
News: Many thanks to everyone who participated in the Artificial Life and the Web workshop at ALIFE 14!
I work in the fields of artificial intelligence, artificial life and computer science. I am currently working as a Senior Research Fellow in the Faculty of Information Technology at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.
From mid 2010-early 2014 I worked in the Department of Computing at Goldsmiths, University of London, as the Deputy Course Director of the University of London's International Programmes in Computing (where we offered degrees in CIS and Creative Computing). The programmes had around 1200 students across the world, and my role involved both supporting current students and affiliate institutions, and also developing new offerings and new markets.
From May 2005 until late 2009, I was Chief Technical Officer, and co-founder, of Timberpost Ltd, a company developing Artificial Intelligence-based software for fund management. We worked closely with a number of large banks and financial firms in London, Europe and the USA.
I spent most of the ten years before that doing academic research in artificial intelligence and artificial life. I have strong interests in biologically-inspired systems, and my PhD was in the evolution of self-replicating software agents.
From January 2002 until May 2005, I was a Research Fellow in School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh. Within the school, I spent most of that time in the Mobile Robotics Research group of the Institute of Perception, Action and Behaviour, working on the Hydra project, which was an EU-funded effort to develop radically new, biologically-inspired technologies for building robust, reconfigurable and self-repairing robots. During the last six months there I moved to the Institute for Communicating and Collaborative Systems (ICCS), to work on the EC-funded JAST (Joint Action Science and Technology) Project. This involved programming an experimental platform involving eye trackers and a virtual environment (user documentation for my software is available here, and system documentation here).
I have also held research positions at IC-CAVE, University of Abertay Dundee (a computer games research group), and at MathEngine PLC, Oxford (a physics engine middleware supplier for games companies), and commercial positions at Quantec Investment Technology in London, and IBM United Kingdom headquarters in Portsmouth, as well as working as a freelance programmer and web developer.
I hold an MA in Natural Sciences (specialising in Experimental Psychology) from Cambridge University, and an MSc (with distinction) and PhD in Artificial Intelligence from Edinburgh University.

Key Guidance: Lawyers need to put on their thinking cap before accepting or drafting a client's gift to themselves, their families, or their favorite charities.
Potential Value: Provides a road map for lawyers to stay within the ethical lines when a grateful client wants to make a gift that will benefit the lawyer directly or indirectly.
By Joan C. Rogers
Ethics rules limit the situations in which lawyers may properly accept or facilitate a client's gift--however benign--to themselves, their families, or their favorite charities, the New Hampshire bar's ethics committee made clear April 11 (New Hampshire Bar Ass'n Ethics Comm., Op. 2011-12/7, 4/11/12).
The opinion analyzes whether a lawyer may accept from a client, or draft documents for effectuating, several different gifts that will benefit the lawyer, her relatives, and a charity with which she is associated. Each proposed gift must be evaluated on its own facts under conflicts rules and other law relating to lawyer-client gifts, the committee advised.
According to the committee, the inquiring lawyer has represented a client in business and estate planning matters for 20 years. The client is a long-standing board member of the local hospital, and the lawyer is chairing a major campaign for the hospital's endowment committee. In addition, the lawyer's daughter is married to the client's brother.
The client, having had a health scare, is now focusing on estate planning matters. Out of an estate valued at approximately $3 million, he wishes to make several lifetime and testamentary gifts that will potentially benefit the lawyer and her family: one to the lawyer herself, one to the lawyer's son-in-law, one to the lawyer's daughter, and one to the local hospital.
The specific ethics rule on lawyer-client gifts is New Hampshire Rule of Professional Conduct 1.8(c), which is identical to ABA Model Rule 1.8(c). It provides:
A lawyer shall not solicit any substantial gift from a client, including a testamentary gift, or prepare on behalf of a client an instrument giving the lawyer or a person related to the lawyer any substantial gift unless the lawyer or other recipient of the gift is related to the client. For purposes of this paragraph, related persons include a spouse, child, grandchild, parent, grandparent or other relative or individual with whom the lawyer or the client maintains a close, familial relationship.
The committee said that this unsolicited gift is not restricted by a reading of Rule 1.8(c) itself, but that because a lawyer holds a position of trust and confidence when representing a client, the gift must be evaluated based upon standards governing fiduciary relationships. Substantial unsolicited gifts will be closely scrutinized, the opinion warns.
The panel found guidance in Comment [6] to Model Rule 1.8, which indicates that a substantial gift may be voidable under the doctrine of undue influence even though Rule 1.8(c) does not forbid the acceptance of an unsolicited gift.
The opinion also points out that according to Section 127(2) of the Restatement (Third) of the Law Governing Lawyers (2000), lawyers are forbidden to accept a gift from a client, including a testamentary gift, unless (a) the lawyer is a relative or "other natural object of the client's generosity"; (b) the value and benefit of the gift are "insubstantial in amount"; or (c) the client has first received independent advice or been encouraged to seek such advice. The client's relative wealth bears on whether a gift is "substantial," according to Comment f.
In addition, the committee consulted the Commentaries on the Model Rules of Professional Conduct (4th ed. 2006), by the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel. ACTEC's commentaries to Rule 1.8 suggest that the substantiality of a gift is determined by its size relative to both the client's estate and the recipient's estate.
The panel concluded that because this inquiry involves an unsolicited onetime gift of theater tickets and a dinner by a fairly wealthy client to his longtime lawyer and friend, the gift would probably be viewed as insubstantial and therefore not prohibited by Rule 1.8(c) or other law pertaining to lawyer-client gifts.
If feasible, it would be best practice for a lawyer receiving an unsolicited gift to obtain court approval or get consent from all other beneficiaries or devisees, the committee said.
Regarding the gift of the sports car to the lawyer's son-in-law, the committee advised that even though the proposed gift is to a relative of the lawyer, she is not precluded from drafting the gift under Rule 1.8(c) because the recipient is the client's brother.
"[N]othing in the Rule prohibits a lawyer from preparing a document that gives a client's assets to a person related to both the client and the lawyer," the opinion states. Unless the client and his brother are estranged, it is acceptable for the lawyer to draft that gift, the committee concluded.
Regarding the gift of the painting to the lawyer's daughter, the committee found that the lawyer may draft the gift only if the client's relation to the lawyer's daughter--the client's sister-in-law--meets the test of Rule 1.8(c).
Whether those two are "related," the panel explained, depends on a factual analysis of the familial relationship between the client and his sister-in-law to determine whether the relationship is "close" and similar to other familial relationships listed in Rule 1.8(c), such as spouse, child, grandchild, or grandparent.
It is possible that the client and his brother's wife have such a relationship, but the lawyer should not summarily assume that they do, the panel said.
In light of the lawyer's role as chair of the hospital's endowment committee, the opinion states, she has both a fiduciary duty to the committee and a personal interest in promoting its success. These connections to the hospital, as the intended donee, clearly present "a personal interest of the lawyer" and "responsibilities … to a third party" that would constitute a concurrent conflict of interest under Rule 1.7(a)(2), the committee explained.
The committee cautioned that the lawyer should be mindful of New Hampshire's "harsh reality" test for evaluating conflicts of interest, under which some conflicts of interest cannot be waived.
It also pointed to Maryland Ethics Op. 2003-08, 19 Law. Man. Prof. Conduct 564 (2003), which concluded that a lawyer on a church legacy committee may not prepare wills for church members who wish to bequeath property to the church. That opinion took the position that the lawyer's responsibility for advancing the church's financial interests would conflict with his independent professional judgment in representing the parishioners, and that this conflict could not be cured by consultation and client consent.
The committee here concluded, however, that a lawyer's membership on a hospital endowment committee does not invariably prohibit the lawyer from seeking client consent to the lawyer's drafting of the client's gift to the hospital.
The lawyer may draft the client's gift to the hospital, the committee advised, but only after fully discussing the potential conflict with the client and obtaining the client's informed consent, confirmed in writing, as required by Rule 1.7(b)(4).

This is the second article in the Bright Light series.
Most of us live most of our lives indoors. That means most of us, even in sunnier climates, are "light deprived."
Since I learned I have seasonal affective disorder, I fantasize about living in a more temperate, sunny place like San Diego. Get this: Even the people who live there live indoors.
All light is not equal
In one study in San Diego, often ranked as the sunniest place in the United States, Dr. Dan Kripke and his research team tracked the sun exposure of a randomly selected group of 150 middle-aged adults.
Despite the near perfect weather in August when the study began, only half the group spent 58 minutes outside per day. Those who received the least direct sun exposure got 13 minutes of daily sun.
Thirteen minutes of daily sun. That's about the total of walking from your house to your car to your office and back again.
The average 12-hour exposure for this study group was less than 100 lux (a measurement of light intensity). A sunny day, by comparison, can reach up to 100,000 lux, or more than 1,000 times more.
Why we need our personal sunshine
So, in sunny San Diego folks are getting only the typical amount of light they'd get in their living rooms. How much light do you think you're getting?
This little chart will give you a better perspective.
- Streetlight – 10-20 lux
- Typical living room light – 100 lux
- Office flourescent light – 300-500 lux
- Halogen lamp – 750 lux
- Daylight, 1 hour before sunset – 1,000 lux
- Daylight, cloudy sky – 5,000 lux
- Daylight, clear sky – 10,000 lux
- Bright sunshine – 20,000 – 100,000 lux
The moral of this chart? Not all light is created equal. And looking at bright sunshine through a window is not the same as getting that light directly into your eyes.
Millions suffer and don't know it
Most research that tries to pinpoint where SAD afflicts people the most draw a line at about Washington, D.C., (38º latitude) and say most people with SAD live north of that line. But if people in San Diego are getting less than an hour a day of sunlight, light deprivation may be far more widespread than we think.
Many likely attribute feeling lousy to just disliking the season. So congratulations on taking the time to do research to get out from under this wet, gray blanket that weighs you down! Now that you know, now you're ready to learn what to do about it.
Bashing winter bonds people
Google "winter blues" today and you'll find lots of bloggers sighing and complaining about winter. Of course, that's nothing new.
Suffering through winter has been a huge source of material for poets, writers and artists for centuries. Literature is full of the winter woes of gifted writers, who put pen to paper to help relieve their melancholy.
While misery loves company, ranting and complaining about how bad winter makes us feel does little to solve the essential problem: Not enough bright light.
The 80 % solution
Light therapy helps 8 out of 10 people who use it consistently.
That's a fabulous success ratio for any treatment. While light therapy may be new to you right now, it's been around for more than 25 years as the standard treatment.
If you have a milder case of the winter blues or SAD, it may be the only treatment you need. Seriously.
It gets better. You don't have to wait long to find out if light therapy is working. While it may take up to two weeks for some people to feel the full effect of light therapy, many people will respond within three to four days.
You'll feel your energy and pep starting to return. You won't feel so dead-tired in the afternoon, or may not feel tired at all. You'll likely sleep better and awaken easier.
You'll feel like socializing. Your interest in sex won't be far behind. And looking out the window at a bleak gray cityscape or landscape won't seem so dismal.
Even better: Money back guarantees
Here's the best part: Reputable light box manufacturers know how well light therapy works and offer a 30- to 60-day money back guarantee. If it doesn't work for you, return the light. You'll be out the cost of shipping, and maybe a restocking fee, if you buy it online or from authorized distributors.
Chances are it will cost you less than a dinner out to try light therapy for a month. What do you have to lose, except maybe the blues?
I am an unashamed advocate of light therapy. I believe MOST people, unless you work outside for a living, can benefit from more bright light and safe sun exposure.

Steven Spielberg may own Citizen Kane's famous Rosebud sled. Planet Hollywood can boast the rocking chair from Psycho. But it's in the den of Perry Kinney, a Washington State social worker, that you'll find the charcoal gray suit Armand Assante wore in 1993's Fatal Instinct.
You know, the one that Sean Young spritzed with shaving cream? Remember? Maybe not. But for Kinney who bought the still-stained suit for $50 it's one of the jewels of his seven-year-old collection. ''I've got three kids and a limited budget,'' says Kinney, 35, whose $1,000-a-year hobby has also brought him Scott Bakula's Adidas from Necessary Roughness. ''This is my bridge between the fantasy world and the real world.''
Thanks to folks like Kinney, the market for all things Hollywood costumes, props, dolls, and assorted tchotchkes is soaring faster than Jim Carrey's asking price. And today's collectors aren't just interested in golden-age, Dorothy's-ruby-slippers-type stuff. No, America's mantelpieces are filling up with flotsam from the latest, though not necessarily the greatest, films.
''I had no doubt about items from Jurassic Park and Batman Returns,'' says Paul Jenkins of Christie's, the New York auction house that now counts recent Hollywood memorabilia as one of its fastest-growing markets. ''What I didn't know was that something from Escape From New York or truly lesser films would do so well.''
At an auction in June, one of the miniature buildings that dotted the Escape skyline went for $2,070, right before Bruce Willis' rubber pistol from Die Hard With a Vengeance fetched $7,475. In fact, Christie's sold $2.1 million worth of entertainment memorabilia last year, and 1995, with sales already at $1.7 million, looks like another blockbuster year.
Millions of additional dollars flow into memorabilia stores and mail-order firms. Through Norma's Jeans, for instance, a Bethesda, Md.-based catalog that grosses more than $100,000 a year, you can buy Daryl Hannah's sarong from Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman ($135), Mel Gibson's Forever Young denim shirt ($495), Susan Sarandon's Thelma & Louise tank top ($185), or Mary Stuart Masterson's white cotton underwear from Benny & Joon ($150). ''I send [the buyers] panties with a letter of authentication,'' says owner Richard Wilson. ''I don't ask what they're going to do with them.''
Fetishism aside, industry watchers have a raft of explanations for the boom in microwave memorabilia: Vintage items are getting rarer and pricier; a short-attention-span generation now has spending money; and the popularity of Planet Hollywood has turned this kind of collecting into a trendy avocation.
Whatever the reason, analysts agree the bull market brings with it plenty of risk. ''Be careful,'' says Christie Brown, who covers collectibles for Forbes magazine. ''You get tremendous rises, and then boom! it's 'Oh my gosh, these weren't so rare.'''
In other words, cramming the attic with Hollywood junk is no yellow brick road to the Land of Security. Gene Siskel, the film critic and veteran collector, warns, ''Avoid trendy kids' movies. I don't think you're going to want to invite people over and point with pride to a rubber Ninja Turtles suit.'' So what is worth collecting? John Travolta's white suit from Saturday Night Fever, for one, which Siskel bought for $2,000 in 1978 and just sold at Christie's for $145,500. ''I may have loved that movie more than anyone else in the world,'' he says. ''My advice is to collect objects you care about passionately.''

Elephant Buttons by Noriko UenoJanuary 12, 2014 on 12:13 am | In 4's and 5's, Adult Aside, Background Knowledge--Book/Story--Narrative Skills, Background Knowledge--Conceptual Thinking, Books, Example Aside, Practices, Puppets/Dolls/Props/Dramatics, Storytime Component, Talking | No Comments
Storytelling and Props:
[This story with props is based on a wordless picture book, now out of print. Elephant Buttons begins with a picture of an elephant, but the elephant has buttons on his belly; on the next page we realize that this is not actually an elephant, but a lion dressed up as an elephant. But wait! The lion has buttons too. Who is it in the lion costume? And so, each page reveals yet another animal in a costume with buttons in order after the lion there is a horse, then a duck, and then a mouse all with buttons. When we open the buttons of the mouse, there is an elephant with no buttons.]
The attached document give the pattern and instructions. elebuttons
Our next story Elephant Buttons by Noriko Ueno is quite an interesting one. I am going to tell it to you using some props. Let's see what you think is happening as I tell this story.
Begin by holding up the elephant piece that has buttons on his tummy.
What's this? An elephant? Right! But what's this on his tummy? Buttons? Do elephants have buttons on their tummies? No? What do you think will happen if we unbutton the buttons?
Unbutton the buttons and reach inside and pull out a lion, with buttons on his tummy. And the questions continue. Proceed with a horse, a duck, and a mouse, all with buttons on their tummies. Unbuttoning the mouse reveals a big elephant with no buttons on his tummy! If the elephant is too big to actually fold into the mouse, then hold it hidden in the palm of your hand and pull it out at the appropriate time. Discuss why an elephant would dress up in a mouse costume inside a duck costume inside a horse costume, and so on.
Early Literacy Aside–Example: Using stories that can be interpreted in different ways offers your children an opportunity to think and offer their opinions. It allows them to look at what is happening from different perspectives. By asking open-ended questions and encouraging children to talk, asking what they are thinking, we give them a chance to problem-solve and to express what they are thinking, both are skills that will help them later understand what they read.

Peanut & Fifi Have a Ball by Randall de SeveMay 15, 2013 on 3:38 am | In 2's and 3's, 4's and 5's, Adult Aside, Age Levels, Background Knowledge--Book/Story--Narrative Skills, Background Knowledge--Book/Story--Print Motivation, Books, Empower Aside, Example Aside, Playing, Puppets/Dolls/Props/Dramatics, Storytime Component, Writing | No Comments
Introduction: When we use books that are fun and use imagination, our children make a connection to the story. In Peanut and Fifi Have a Ball written by Randall de Seve and illustrated by Paul Schmid, Peanut has a new ball and Fifi tries so hard to get her to play. Watch how this story uses a simple item and adds imagination.
Read the book.
Activity: Act out the story.
Early Literacy Aside–Example: Acting out the story, dramatic play, reinforces both the story itself and the pleasure about the story. By internalizing the story, they are better able to understand it.
Early Literacy Aside–Empower: I hope you'll encourage playing with stories at home as well. Take a box, ruler, blanket, ball, or many other simple items and use make believe to encourage play. Other books that work with Play and imagination are Not a Box and Not a Stick by Antoinette Portis. After playing with a simple item, you can always expand on this play by having your child draw something they did, dictate a story about their play, or just describe what they did with the item. Using writing to expand on the story validates your child's play. Talking about and recording the story, going over the sequence is uses their narrative skills which helps your child learn how stories work by using first, next, and last.

Belling the Cat with Finger PuppetsMay 11, 2013 on 4:00 am | In 2's and 3's, 4's and 5's, Adult Aside, Age Levels, Background Knowledge--Book/Story--Print Motivation, Puppets/Dolls/Props/Dramatics, Storytime Component, Storytime Handouts | No Comments
Our next story is Belling the Cat, based on an Aesop fable. What do you know about cats and mice? Yes, cats like to chase mice. Cats like to eat mice. Let's see what these mice do about the cat.
Use the handout below to tell the story and to pass out to families so that they can retell the story at home.
Early Literacy Aside–Empower: Having your children retell stories is one good way for them to learn about how stories work. It's also a lot of fun. They can also try drawing and writing the story, adding their own ideas. Enjoy!

What! Cried Granny by Kate LumApril 15, 2013 on 7:27 pm | In 2's and 3's, 4's and 5's, Adult Aside, Age Levels, Background Knowledge--Book/Story--Print Motivation, Books, Example Aside, Explain Aside, Puppets/Dolls/Props/Dramatics, Storytime Component | No Comments
Early Literacy Aside–Explain: Our early literacy tip today is on print motivation, your children's enjoyment of books and reading. Children who have had positive experiences around books and reading before going to school are more likely to stick with learning to read even if it is difficult. I'll be pointing out some ways to make booksharing enjoyable in today's storytime.
Book and flannel board: What! Cried Granny: An Almost Bedtime Story by Kate Lum is our next book. It's about a boy who is having a sleep-over at his grandmother's house.
Let's see what happens when he tries to get the things he needs to go to sleep. Granny is often surprised and says in a loud voice,
"What!" Let me hear you all say that. You can join in as we go through the story.
Early Literacy Aside–Example: There are many ways to have children participate in stories as we read together. Having them participate as we read the story helps them enjoy the story more.

Little Red Hen Readers' TheaterOctober 2, 2012 on 3:20 pm | In 2's and 3's, 4's and 5's, Adult Aside, Age Levels, Background Knowledge--Book/Story--Narrative Skills, Books, Example Aside, Playing, Practices, Puppets/Dolls/Props/Dramatics, Storytime Component | No Comments
Introduce the book Little Red Hen by Byron Barton: This is a folktale that many authors have retold. The book we are going to read was written and illustrated by Byron Barton. [Have several copies of the book available, or copied sheets.] Today with your help, we are going to read by doing what is called Readers' Theater. This is playacting without having to memorize any lines. I will act as narrator, but I will need the rest of you to participate as well. Let's divide into three groups: pig, duck, and cat. Now I will need four parent volunteers and your children to come to the front to read the lines of the characters. After you have read the lines, encourage the children to repeat after you. After the child says your words then the children in groups will say those words as well.
Clap for all the participants–children in groups, children up front, parents.
Talk briefly about the story by asking questions such as How would you feel if you were the little red hen? What would you have done? What do you think the pig, duck and cat might do next time?
Early Literacy Aside–Example: When you have children act out stories, it is not only fun, but this kind of dramatic play helps them understand how stories work and helps them understand the story. These are skills that will help them understand what they read when they get to school.

Mama Cat Has Three Kittens by Denise FlemingApril 17, 2009 on 2:28 am | In 0 to 2, 2's and 3's, 4's and 5's, Adult Aside, Age Levels, Books, Empower Aside, Example Aside, Phonological Awareness, Puppets/Dolls/Props/Dramatics, Storytime Component | No Comments
Cat Puppet: There's a cat in my hat, a cat in my hat, a cat in my hat today (do twice). What does the kitty cat say? [cat puppet says meow]
Read Mama Cat Has Three Kittens
Early Literacy Aside–Example: When children hear rhymes, rhythms and sounds of animals, it helps them develop phonological awareness, hearing the smaller sounds in words. This is a skill that will help them as they begin to read.
Early Literacy Aside–Empower: Keep doing rhymes with things in your children's world. Today we did cat in my hat. You can do ball in the hall or star on my car (give a star sticker).

We're Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael RosenApril 17, 2009 on 12:14 am | In 4's and 5's, Adult Aside, Age Levels, Background Knowledge--Book/Story--Narrative Skills, Books, Crafts/Activities, Example Aside, Explain Aside, Puppets/Dolls/Props/Dramatics, Storytime Component | No Comments
Early Literacy Aside–Explain: Teddy Bear puppet talking to introduce the skill: Today we are going to develop your children's story knowledge and thinking skills. These skills help them to understand what they read when they learn to read. [Then hide the bear in a black piece of paper like a cave.]
Read We're Going on a Bear Hunt, putting motions to the words.
Activity: Give children colored stips of paper to represent each of the scenes in the book. Connect each color strip with each scene; for example: blue for river, green for grass, brown for mud. Now, retell the story using first, second, third, etc.–first we went to the river and as they say the phrase they place the blue colored strip down, and so on. For the last action where they go home, have a piece of material to represent a blanket.
Early Literacy Aside–Example: With this activity what your child knows, by helping them in a couple of ways–retelling the story so they understand how stories work and also with sequencing and connecting colors with actions which develops their thinking skills.

Latest Step to Recapitalize at First Federal Pulls In $8.7 Million
Posted 6/27/2011 03:42 pm
Updated 2 years ago
The company announced Monday that shareholders fully subscribed to the common stock offering that closed June 21, part of a recapitalization effort implemented by Bear State Financial Holdings LLC.
The gross proceeds of the offering total about $8.7 million. This follows a May 3 private placement offering of 15.4 million shares with Bear State investors that generated more than $46 million.
Shares in the bank holding company for Harrison's First Federal Bank (Nasdaq: FFBH) are trading at $5.64 per share. In the last 52 weeks, it had traded as high as $19.50 and as low as $4.70 per share.
The community bank, founded in 1934, serves consumers and businesses in north-central and northwest Arkansas through 18 full-service branches, a loan production office and 29 ATMS.

Bypassing Gmail Executable Blocking
December 19th, 2005 by Administrator, Filed under: Full Disclosure, Google
"as a security measure to prevent potential viruses, gmail doesn't allow you to send or receive executable files (such as files ending in .exe) that could contain damaging executable code.
gmail won't accept these file types even if they are sent in a zipped (.zip, .tar, .tgz, .taz, .z, .gz) format. if this type of message is sent to your gmail account, it is bounced back to the sender automatically.
you can send and receive messages up to 10 megabytes (mb) total (including attachments). any message that exceeds this limit will not be delivered to your inbox and will be returned to the sender."
recently i needed to send someone an exe file using my gmail account.
well, from the gmail faq quote above, you can understand that i can not send a windows executable file (or a file with .exe extension).
you may think that exe is out of the question… or is it? (muha muha muha .. sorry – Sunshine influenced me).
well it seems that exe files compressed with rar or ace are ignored. yep, i can use rar to compress an exe and send it to you using gmail. but checking if 'elf' binaries can be sent through gmail led me to an interesting conclusion:
do i really need rar?! all i need is to change the extension of the file and gmail will gladly accept it.
now you may ask yourself, why the hell am i writing this on my blog instead of notifying google?
well, i went to google contact us (took me a while to find it with all of the latest portal they giving us), and found a nice email: firstname.lastname@example.com. now when i sent this information (with more details, btw) to google, this was the reply:
from: "gmail team"
thanks for contacting us. we aren't able to respond directly to inquiries
submitted to this email address.
please visit our help center at http://gmail.google.com/support/, or by
clicking 'help' at the top of any gmail page within your account. our help
center provides answers to the most commonly asked questions, and offers
information about gmail and all of its features.
if you are unable to log in to your gmail account, please follow the steps
to reset your password by clicking 'forgot your password?' on
the gmail team
if you'd like to learn more about how gmail's features work, check out the
gmail help discussion (http://groups.google.com/group/gmail-abcs) where
our users share helpful tips and tricks with one another.
hey, i contacted security, not support ! so i said to myself, lets send this to the webmaster of gmail. well, addresses firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com do not exists! i received bounces back on all those emails…
the date of contacting them was: december 4th, 2005, and i waited until today to see maybe they will contact me… guess what… they did not.
so, i tried to do something else (that actually did not work o_o): i sent a virus without using the .exe extension. but it turns out the gmail antivirus actually found my virus (well, at least that!).
but then again i used some very old win32 virus
anyway, if any of you have 0-days out there to send using gmail, have no fear, because for now, gmail will not block it.
and for google, please make better ways for contacting you, and please do read things that may sounds like support request. or at least make a place to report bugs etc… even microsoft has one.

A Dollar Stretcher Guest Blogger shares tips and tricks for saving money while traveling in the near future.5 Routes to Cheaper Offseason Travel
Many travel destinations often have months that are busier and more popular than other times of the year. The slower months depend on several factors. Unfavorable weather, closed attractions, construction and renovations in progress all contribute to making a certain time of year the off-peak season. But the benefits of a slow season might just outweigh whatever the downsides are. You'll almost always get cheaper rates and more personalized service, plus your destination will be less crowded and safer during offseason travel.

New Apple iPad to be "a major upgrade", lighter and more compact
This would be "a major upgrade" to the series and it comes at such a time that White predicts will coincide with the time for many of the 155 million iPad owners to upgrade to a newer device.
This new design is expected to go particularly well with Apple's loyalists, and together with a new and more powerful 64-bit expected for the new iPad, it has raised analysts' expectations.
"Given our research in Taiwan over the past few days, we believe the iPad 5 has the potential to be a significant iPad upgrade cycle," White writes in a note. "[Since] Apple did little in the way of changing the look and feel of the past couple of iPad iterations, we believe Apple's sizable installed base, with 155 million iPads shipped through 3Q:FY13, is ready to purchase a new full-sized iPad."
Along with this comes an increased and bullish price target of $777 for Apple's stock. What are your thoughts on that, would you consider the new iPad if it was lighter and more compact?

hmm...so thinner n lighter is Apple's "major" upgrade..No need of leaked pics or rumors since I can easily imagine what its gonna look like (or more of a look-a-like gen4)
36. saffant (Posts: 233; Member since: 04 Jul 2011)
Well I dunno about that. It depends on your needs.
Multimedia, Android tablets are still winning, but since Apps are a key part of the experience, I think iPad is still ahead.
However, that iPad 1 is a silly comparison.
iPad 5 will definitely take the cake tho.

Gold colored iPads with slimmer bezels is hardly a 'major' upgrade but I digress, unfortunately it sounds like a another S hit to me considering the user base :/

it was there newest phone up until Oct 2011 which is just 2 years ago...it was a free app that apple pulled and then required a 4s or newer purchase. Fragmentation does exist on apple products and just because iOS rolls out to majority of devices, this is proof of dropped features and fragmentation

How does not having Siri fragment a device? I disabled S-voice on my S4, can I join the fragmented group now?

apple followers claim that you don't have fragmentation BECAUSE 95% gets the newest iOS. Well, if the newest iOS and all the NEWEST features don't work across all devices, how is that not apples version of fragmentation?

Answer the question peasant. How does not having Siri make an iPhone 4 defragmented. Does it stop you from installing Angry brids, twitter, or facebook?

Does being on Android 4.3 instead of 4.4 stop you from installing all those things either?
Dimwitted analogy.

Android developers are smart enough to make their apps compatible, there are no issues. Don't believe the "fragmentation" hype.

Of course, that is great, but pricing (not at apple stoar) is just mindblowing. Why should I pay so much for Apple products?! Still Apple Store, has better pricing than most stores does, but still IT IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR ALL COUNTRIES. I am so butthurt about it. Ouch my butt is on fire!

LOL, those double quotes, I see what you did there. "A major update" #DrEvilMeme

Only the battery capacity will make me opt for it. Say 6500mAh and about.

Apple better hurry up, and release tablet, before I purchase a piece of plastic. But again, that would make me suffer.

10% thiner, 7% lighter, blablabla.......
Still overpriced....

Won't upgrade my iPad unless its dust/waterproof. Use it for websurfing and playing music in the background. Can't compare to an Ultrabook, so they got a long way to go before they get to that point.
22. McLTE (Posts: 714; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
yes, of course.. every iteration of an Apple product is a "MAJOR UPGRADE".. I'd expect nothing less this time!
It just happens that Apple uses some very strange logic in determining what a major upgrade is..

Price bump? Hmm...
Also, fear the trolls.

Personally looking at the Mini more than the standard. 7" would be perfect for me, no need to spend the extra on a few more, but hoping on that Retina display.
