Graphical Solutions for Forces and Kinematics On the Sunday of the AAPT summer meeting (July 27th), Casey Rutherford and I are offering a free, unofficial1 workshop on using velocity graphs and force vector addition diagrams to solve kinematics and force problems.

So you're thinking in terms of physical models now instead of in terms of chapters, units, or equations. Now what? Is there a high-level ordering of these ideas? How are they connected? Are there common themes? One activity that I've done to help students build higher-level organization into their thinking is concept maps (which I … Continue reading
During our PLC chat this week, we talked at one point about how long it takes for students to become completely consistent in drawing motion graphs. My experience has been that students become confident relatively quickly in drawing the velocity-vs-time graphs (having switched their brain into thinking through v-t graphs), but still sometimes struggle to draw … Continue reading

Kim Kardashian dealt with a great deal of criticism about her body during her pregnancy, but now the reality star is putting it all out there.
According to "USA Today," the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star appears in her boyfriend Kanye West's new music video, which the rapper debuted on "Ellen" on Tuesday.
Though the language was scrubbed for the TV appearance, the still-racy video portrays a topless Kardashian straddling a motorcycle and is decidedly NSFW.
video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player
Ellen released the video online early Tuesday morning before the episode even aired on television, tweeting:
I couldn't wait another second to share @KanyeWest's new video with you. Now get some rest. Tomorrow's a big day. http://t.co/GYAfzLRE0k
— Ellen DeGeneres (@TheEllenShow) November 19, 2013
I couldn't wait another second to share @KanyeWest's new video with you. Now get some rest. Tomorrow's a big day. http://t.co/GYAfzLRE0k
The song features R&B artist Charlie Wilson, with West rapping about the public's opinion of him and his high-profile relationship with Kardashian.
The lyrics appear to read: "I know I got a bad reputation / Walking 'round, always mad reputation / Leave a pretty girl sad reputation."
The video's release comes just days after the couple was targeted on a "Saturday Night Live" sketch called "Waking Up with Kimye."
What did you think of the video for "Bound 2"? Was the "SNL" sketch too harsh or spot-on? Sound off in the comments!

Bloggers are upset that Bruni advanced dining stereotypes and that Josh Ozersky is promising columns from 'the top men in the field.'
We had a moment of panic when we saw his name on a front-page political analysis piece in the 'Times' this morning. But Bruni assures us he's not leaving the dinner table.
What to when a waiter serves you the wrong entrée in a restaurant, and gelato that comes from a tanning salon, from our glance at the morning headlines.

What should restaurants do when tourists don't leave tips?
Plus, did you know Keanu Reeves and Parker Posey are dating? We are freaked out, like eight months too late.
Both the Underground Gourmet and Frank Bruni have recently attempted definitions.
Bruni didn't see any heavy hitters when he was there, but the photos that ran with his review depicted plenty of them.

Following Frank Bruni's lead, 'Vanity Fair''s Michael Wolff disses his former lunch spot.
Read about the inner strength the socialite summoned to go on in the face of abdominal adversity. Plus, humiliating moments for Damon Dash and Mario Lopez, in this morning's gossip roundup.
The 'Times' milks him for a podcast-like "audio slide show" in which he tells Dining editor Pete Wells why Michael's is empty at night: "Part of the reason could be the food."
Clams have bellies?
In the current restaurant economy, it may be easier to score a prime table, but Frank Bruni says it's all an illusion.

Don't confuse the tongue-wagging, awkward twerking Miley Cyrus of pop culture confused with the real person, Cyrus tells the New York Times in a new interview.
"I went from people just thinking I was, like, a baby to people thinking I'm this, like, sex freak that really just pops molly and does lines all day. It's like, 'Has anyone ever heard of rock 'n' roll?'" she said. "There's a sex scene in pretty much every single movie, and they go, 'Well, that's a character.' Well, that's a character. I don't really dress as a teddy bear and, like, twerk on Robin Thicke, you know?"
Nothing like a good old fashioned Hollywood dustup on Twitter — especially when they're the kids of famous people.
"Just wish things could be easier sometimes mann," Kendall Jenner, 17, wrote to her more than five million Twitter followers on Tuesday night, prompting the ire of Frances Bean Cobain, the daughter of rockers Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love.
A staple of the early grunge music scene in Seattle, the band Nirvana quickly rose to national and then worldwide fame, rising, perhaps, too fast for the band's young lead singer, Kurt Cobain. watch
According to rock n' roll lore, age 27 is a fateful milestone. From Robert Johnson, Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison to Kurt Cobain, all stars we lost at this very age.
World famous rock star Spyder (Kevin Zegers -Transamerica, Frozen) has achieved fame and fortune with a smash hit debut album. This blinding success however, is built on the Faustian pact that capitalized on the genius of his long lost childhood best friend and band mate, Eric Genson (Jason Ritter - NBC's The Event, Good Dick). Now Spyder retreats to his small hometown after his sophomore effort flops. Reconnecting with Eric after a seven year estrangement, the two recall their youthful ambitions and reexamine the choices they've made. Accompanied by the band's ambitious, fiery manager (Taryn Manning - ABC's Hawaii 5-0, Hustle & Flow, 8 Mile), the legendary music impresario August West (Peter Fonda - Easy Rider, 3:10 to Yuma) and a raucous crew of musicians, they set off on a cathartic journey along historic Route 66 that brings them closer to each other, their history and their destiny. Fueled by a stellar rock n' roll soundtrack that includes songs by Nirvana, Bob Dylan, Iggy & The Stooges, Alice in Chains, Muddy Waters, The Violent Femmes, Howlin' Wolf, Jane's Addiction, and many more, The Perfect Age of Rock N' Roll fully captures the energy, rebellion, and thrills of the rock n' roll lifestyle.
Ahead of their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, Nirvana members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic tell stories from the early days and remember their friend Kurt Cobain.
Recently, the daughter of deceased music legend Kurt Cobain, Frances Bean Cobain, took to twitter to speak out against Lana Del Rey's desire for post-mortem fame.

Frances Bean Cobain, the daughter of Courtney Love and late Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain, is denying her mother's Twitter rant that claims Dave Grohl hit on her and is calling for the site to ban the Hole singer.

1998 Honda CR-V LX AWD Review
Roomy interior, handling, smooth clutch, large engine compartment, relatively fun to drive
Low on power, high RPM at highway speeds, fuel economy, seats, rough idle, unexpected problems
A Great Little Suv, But.... — Power isn't great,but with short geared transmission it does the job. Fuel economy needs to be better for a 2.0L engine: 22 around town, 25 on the highway. Roomy interior but seats get uncomfortable after a couple hours of driving. Good cargo space and AWD system works very well for being so primitive compared to the Subaru system. Relatively low maintenance but mine has needed some unscheduled work, such as a new master cylinder and two slave cylinders on the clutch system, a new handle on the rear door, and a new lock on the driver's door. It also tends to idle rough. I tried replacing the OEM spark plugs with platinum plugs. They fixed the idle problem but made the Check Engine light come on, hence had to abandoned at inspection time. Have taken it on back roads and it handles great for a car of its size and weight. Overall a great small SUV when you can live with its limitations.

Reliable, good fuel, low maintenance, simple engine, good handling.
Lower power.
Love It — I went from a V6 2001 Windstar to a 1998 Honda CR-V. While it's taken a bit to find acceptance in a V4, the easy maintenance alone was worth the switch. It's comfortable and fun, but doesn't fly up a hill like the Windstar did. The Honda has a lot of room for storage and fuel economy is way better than the big heavy minivan obviously.

1998 Honda CR-V EX AWD Review
new timing belt, water pump, battery, and rear struts
Has had RR repair (new paint) dosen't match older(faded) paint. Driver window does not roll down(?)
Clear Title — good comfortable car, rides and handles really well. I bought the car from a lady that couldn't afford to have timing belt and resulting valve damage repaired and did the repairs myself. I have driven the car about 1000 miles with no oil consumption or loss of any fluids. I just don't need to keep it. I put in new antifreeze (Advance 50/50), and changed oil (Pennzoil 5w30 and Fram filter) when repairs were done.

Tough little car. 235,000 miles and going strong. Normal but maintenance. Honda replaced the head at 110,00 due to a valve problem. Tow my small bass boat with zero problems.
No cons
I Will Get Another One If This One Ever Wears Out — While not a pure suv, no low range. I have had it in snow, mud forest service roads in the Sierra and the AWD is far better than I expected it to be. It will cruise all day and not leave you fatigued. First tire replacement I put on two sizes wider in a 60 series. Looks handles better than the original size.

Good control, safe, comfortable, roomy, reliable, 4 wheel drive, good for utilitarian use.
Unattractive, slow acceleration.
The 1998 Honda Cr-v Is A Great Car For Anyone. Drives Nicely, Good Visibility, Bang For Your Buck. — My 1998 Honda CR-V is a great car. I've had it since 1997 and it still drives great. It's not very attractive but it has 168,000 miles on it and drives like new. It's a real tribute to Honda's quality. It's pretty comfortable too. CD Player conked out I need a new one but radio still works. 4 wheel drive is very uselful. It gets around 23 mpg and maintenance is around $200- $400 annually... as it gets older though it can get kindof pricey I had to buy a new rotator cuff last week. It's kindof fun to drive but then again any car is fun to drive when it's your first car. My Mom owned it before me. The pep factor in this car is definitely lacking. But overall I love it it has done right by us for 12 years.

reliability, mileage, storage
road noise, interior
Cr-v — Reliable SUV which I will run to the ground. I got it certified used. Soon after we had a transmission problem and it was replaced by Honda. Since then it has been smooth sailing with this car. Road noise on the highway is an issue for me. For what it cost and the value it holds today, its a great vehicle to own. I hope that Honda comes out with a hybrid version soon.

1998 Honda CR-V LX Review
Nimble handling, spacious interior, good cargo space, incredible fit-and-finish, unbeatable reliability, good fuel efficiency.
Underpowered, mediocre brakes, price, alarm system (had to be replaced after the first year, but since it was originally installer by an outside vendor and not by Honda, I can't hold it against them).
Good Small Suv — The build was incredible, extremely solid, never had to take in for ANYTHING in the 7 years I owned it. The interior was very spacious and comfortable. The ride was safe, but the engine lacked power, acceleration was mediocre and braking was long. Handling, on the other hand, was nimble and very precise. Very decent trunk space for its size. I owned for several years until I left the country and bought a Mitsubishi Outlander. Overall, I'd rate the C-RV over the Outlander in terms of build, handling, fuel efficiency and overall performance.

It had lower mileage than what it was replacing
Fuel economy is not what I would expect
Typical Small Suv — I bought this car needing some work but felt it was a good purchase since I could do the work myself. I have only had it for a few weeks and am surprised at the low MPG since it is a small 2.0L 4 cylinder engine. It will do for my needs but I would expect it to be higher.

A driver has been charged with vehicular manslaughter after police say he hit and killed a 3-year-old boy in Queens.
Police believe Gilbert Echeverria struck and killed Olvin Jahir Figueroa while he was crossing Junction Boulevard with his mother shortly before midnight Friday in Jackson Heights.
Police say Echeverria stopped at the scene and drove both of them to the hospital, where Olvin was pronounced dead and the suspect was arrested.
Figueroa's mother was treated for leg injuries.
NY1 spoke with the boy's father, Olvin Umberto Figueroa, through an interpreter.
"There's really nothing to say, that I'm very hurt, and I don't have my child with me, and I want my child," he said through an interpreter.
Figueroa says he brought his family here from Hondurus seven months ago in search of a better life.
"Coming over here just with that hope of having a brighter future for my family, for my child, having to witness this, it's just," he said through an interpreter.
"He was just a very happy kid, very playful with everyone else, joyful, I just, I can't believe this, life is so fragile," said Jasmine Collado, a family friend.
Echeverria is also charged with criminally negligent homicide and DWI.

NY1′s Pat Kiernan Gets Another 'Live!' Audition
NY1 anchor Pat Kiernan is getting another shot at his dream job co-hosting "LIVE!" with Kelly Ripa.
"LIVE!" is auditioning a rotation of comedians, actors and television hosts to fill the seat of Regis Philbin, who retired from the show in November. Kiernan, who co-hosted once in March, is slated for two more days alongside Ripa — April 30 and May 1.
"There are so many factors in a decision like this that it's tough to analyze what they're looking for. So I'm trying not to analyze," Kiernan told our sister site FishbowlNY. "As with last time, I'll bring the slightly cheerier version of my NY1 self and they'll let me know if it's the right fit for Kelly."

Tsarnaev family prepared to receive son Tamerlane's remains
PROVIDENCE—According to statement released on Tuesday by her attorney Amato DeLuca, Katherine Russell and the Tsarnaev family will be able to receive the remains of her slain husband, the Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlane Tsarnaev. Russell, a native of North Kingstown, has been the center of an FBI investigation regarding her knowledge of her husband's activities leading up to his April 15 bombing of the Boston Marathon and subsequent evasion of police, resulting in four deaths and over 170 people injured.
"We have just been informed that the Massachusetts Medical Examiner's Office is prepared to release the remains of Tamerlane Tsarnaev," read DeLuca's statement. "It is Katherine Russell's wish that his remains be released to the Tsarnaev family, and we will communicate her wishes to the proper authorities."
According to multiple media outlets, the FBI has obtained the DNA of a woman on a piece of a pressure cooker which Tamerlane and his brother, 19-year old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, turned into deadly bombs to kill spectators at the Boston Marathon. Russell's house was also searched last week by FBI investigators, and DeLuca has stated that the 24-year old widow remains cooperative with their work.
"In the coming days, Katherine will continue to meet with law enforcement, as she has done for many hours over the past week, and provide as much assistance to the investigation as she can," continued the statement.
Russell grew up in North Kingstown and attended the town's local schools. She and Tamerlane were married in 2010 and have a 3-year-old daughter together. Russell, who was raised Catholic, converted to Islam to marry Tsarnaev and soon began wearing the traditional Muslim clothing, including a hijab, or a veil worn over Muslim women's heads.
North Kingstown Police has been patrolling the area surrounding Russell's home at 10 Coriander Lane over the past two weeks, keeping the large group of national and state media at arms length from Russell and her family, as well as the investigation.
"Our personnel is aware of the location and are making periodic checks to the location and neighborhood due to the attention and activity," said Mulligan. "We have received calls from several residents of this neighborhood due to the number of media outlets parked along the streets that have become bothersome and out of character for the area."
Russell attended Suffolk University in Boston but dropped out before graduating. She lived with Tsarnaev and their daughter in their Cambridge apartment. It's been reported that the three would spend weekends at her family's home.
In the North Kingstown High School 2007 yearbook, it stated she was involved in the dance team and the art club. Her future plans were to attend college and Peace Corps. In the senior profile section she included a quote that read: "Don't believe in yourself, don't deceive with belief. Knowledge comes from death's release."
Last week, DeLuca released a statement regarding the Russell family's shock at the events which her husband and his brother perpetrated the week of April 15, including the murder of MIT police officer Sean Collier and the car jacking and kidnapping of a local resident in Cambridge, Mass. in an attempt to evade the expansive state and local police search.
"Since [marrying Tamerlane in 2010, Katie] has been living in Cambridge, raising her child and working long hours, caring for people in their homes who are unable to care for themselves," read the statement. "She is fortunate to have the support of her loving family now, as they, too, struggle to come to terms with these events and the deep sorrow we all feel following the events of last week."
"As a mother, a sister, a daughter, a wife, Katie deeply mourns the pain and loss to innocent victims - students, law enforcement, families and our community," it continued. "In the aftermath of this tragedy, she, her daughter and her family are trying to come to terms with these events."
The search, which ended on Friday, April 19 with the capture of Dzhokhar and the prior killing of Tamerlane by police, resulted in the total lockdown of the Greater Boston area, including the city itself and surrounding suburbs.
Russell has been seen traveling between her parents' home in North Kingstown and DeLuca's law office in Providence while the FBI investigation continues.

Pusher, a debut feature from Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn, is a stylish but familiar look at a small-time heroin dealer in Copenhagen. Frank, played by Kim Bodnia, who resembles a young Bob Hoskins, is something of an Everyman, a worker ant in the ongoing struggle between pushers and cops in Denmark's capital city.
Frank doesn't ask for trouble, just consistency, as he plies his trade among the local suppliers and users, often accompanied by his skinhead friend Tony (Mads Mikkelsen), who shares his liking for heavy-metal music and Armagnac. Frank's other confidante is his hooker girlfriend Vic (Laura Drasbaek), who provides a safe house for his drugs. It would appear that Frank has a foolproof setup, only everything is about to collapse.
Frank's downfall begins when a heroin deal goes bad and he is busted by the police. Frank is released for lack of evidence, but his supplier, a Croatian named Milo (Zlatko Buric), gives him only two days to come up with a large sum of cash that will save him from a bullet. All at once, Frank's orderly little world is crumbling and nobody seems to care. Even Frank's mother can't summon up much compassion. With Milo's deadline closing in, Vic suggests they head for Spain. 'As long as it's not Sweden or Yugoslavia,' Frank grumbles, but a few surprises are still in store.
Dark as Frank's plight may be, Pusher isn't above some Tarantino-esque humor. Frank and Tony ponder the difference between going out to a movie and renting a video, then debate the appeal of sex with a TV anchorwoman as opposed to a game-show girl. One of the film's ongoing jokes is that no one seems willing to acknowledge who they actually are. 'I think a lot about doing something else,' admits one of Frank's dealer friends, who aspires to opening a shish-kebab restaurant. 'I'm not a whore, I'm a champagne girl,' insists Vic. Even Frank aspires to a loftier level, sipping bottled water and proclaiming himself 'Frank of Denmark.'
Pusher's strength lies in its gritty view of day-to-day life on the drug merry-go-round. The film is even divided into seven segments, each representing a day in Frank's dogged routine. Throughout, cinematographer Morten Søberg's visuals have a crisp documentary look that interlocks nicely with Frank's ongoing decline. Still, the screenplay, credited to Refn and Jens Dahl, offers little insight into what Frank is all about. We witness his ups and downs, but from an emotional distance Pusher rarely attempts to bridge.

Learn to Swim is a free instructional program that runs at New York City's public outdoor pools. The program teaches tots (ages 1 ½ - 5) and children (ages 6 - 14) basic water safety and swimming skills. Registration for the first session was yesterday and that session runs from July 7 – July 23. Additional registrations will take place on July 26 for the July 27 – August 11 session, and on August 12 for the August 13 – August 27 session.
The 28th annual outdoor adult lap swim program also began yesterday, giving adults the chance to take to the water for health and fitness at designated times without interruption from other swimmers. Participants who swim 25 miles or more over the summer will receive a free t-shirt; distance prizes will also be awarded.

We all know homophobic bullying in schools is wrong. And we all know it happens.
There have been some amazing books written on the topic. One of my faves is Lauren Myracles Shine which tells the story of 16-year-old Cat and her best friend, Patrick, who happens to be gay. When Patrick is beaten and left for dead, Cat decides to unravel the mystery behind this terrible hate crime. They live in a small Southern Caroline town and Cat has to navigate her way through the tightly knit community to find the perpetrator. Although the Sheriff assumes the criminals are from out-of-town (because no one from our town would do this!), Cat visits all her friends, including the "redneck possee" Patrick used to hang around with, to discover the truth. She uncovers some dangerous secrets (people dealing and using meth) and a great deal of shame that many people feel because of how they treated Patrick. Cat reflects on all of this, and of course, discovers a lot about herself in the process--which is all very insightful. A sombre and compelling story with a hopeful ending--I defintely think you will love Shine.
We have a whole list of interesting books on the topic homosexuality. You'll find it here (but you have to scroll down just a bit!).
At the moment, an AMAZING contest is being held to raise awareness for homophobic bullying in schools and to help stamp it out. The prizes are sweet, the challenge is fun and it's open to all Canadian youth.
Here's what you gotta do:
Create a short video and submit it by June 11th that challenges homophobia and bullying. For more info, visit Out In Schools.
But really, this video says it all:
Okay. So here are two newsflashes for you just in case you've been hiding under a rock:
1) The Hunger Games is the biggest thing since sliced bread (from the Mellark Bakery): if you haven't read it, you must be crazy, AND
2) We have a killer new Teen Website! (Oooooooooh... SHINY!)
In celebration of both these things, we are holding ANOTHER Hunger Games Contest. Your entry will be up for one of these sweet prize packs:
And we've made it so that ANY teen (ages 12-17) can enter! There are three different categories; Art, Physical and Written, and the possibilities inside those categories are pretty much limitless. All you have to do is submit your work to TEENS CREATE and then post a comment on this blog!
Do anything else artsy that will blow us away with your talent!
Or choose your own ending and wow us with what you come up with!
Or... well. You get it. We just want to see some cool Hunger Games stuff, okay?
"Deeper meaning resides in the fairytales told to me in my childhood than in any truth that is taught in life." -- Johann von Schiller
Fairytales are of the old world, right? Witches, beasts and warlocks, goblins and leprechauns galore! Princesses in glass slippers, super skinny fairies, evil old ladies... Sometimes I do ask myself what any right-minded 20th century woman would be doing worshipping the ground that these tails (or tales ;0)) walk on... And it's true that some fairy tales DO seem to promote domestic violence, Barbie-esque physiques and a general "Rescue Me!" syndrome. Take Beauty and the Beast, or Rapunzel as prime examples. Others, like Little Red Riding Hood, are all about the "Listen to your mother - don't think for yourself" mentality... Not that listening to your mother is bad... However folk and fairy tales are truly alive - they are ever changing and evolving - just like language: Did you know that slang and swear words are actually the words that keep our language alive? It's true! Just check with any anthropologist of linguistics. Ever try swearing in Latin (the epistemological DEAD language?)?... didn't think so. Fairytales are the same way -- they're constantly being twisted and changed to reflect modern tastes and inclinations. Nowadays there's a whole trend of re-vamped fairytales - AKA Twisted Tales - the library is basically EXPLODING with them! Check out these books if you're interested in these neo-classics:
What if you could be the Beastly Bride? The Beast rather than the Beauty? What kind of animal would you be? The Beastly Bride - tales of the animal people edited by Ellen Datlow & Terri Windling is an anthology of twisted tales involving various were-beasts, she-cats (The Puma's Daughter by Tanith Lee), elephant-brides (Jane Yolen's poem is not for the weak of heart), and enchanted individuals that reverse roles, choose to stay as animals rather than marry because they like their snake-like natures (Rosina by Nan Fry), outwit each other, find true love (The Selkie speak by Delia Sherman) and surprise and inspire us.
Terri Windling says, "I never outgrew these "children's" tales; rather, I seemed to grow into them, discovering their hidden depths as I grew older -- for just as nightly dreams reflect the realities of our waking life, the symbols to be found in folklore and myth (the collective dreams of entire cultures) provide useful metaphors for the journeys, struggles and transformations we experience throughout our lives. So deep was my love of folklore and myth that I went on to study the subject during my university years, which is when I learned that historically these tales were intended for adults, not children."
Take another quote from Terri Windling's website: "Long ago the trees thought they were people. Long ago the mountains thought they were people. Long ago the animals thought they were people. Someday they will say, long ago the humans thought they were people..." from a traditional Native American story recounted by Johnny Moses.
If you think that's thought-provoking, try THESE twists on for size:
What if Red Riding Hood took the situation with the wolf into her own hands? (Red Hood's Revenge)
What if the werewolf was female? ... and a Dingo not a wolf?
What if Beauty ran away from her abusive husband WHILE pregnant; married a woman AND started a safe refuge in an abandoned castle? (Castle Waiting)
What if the twelve dancing Princesses weren't married off to a happenstance prince, and one of them never kissed the frog but took him as a pet and when she got older HE kissed her instead? (Wildwood Dancing)
What if the Beast was actually a gentle prince from Persia more interested in language and roses than hunting?
These are all plots taken from current YA novels and they are how folk and fairytales evolve. Historically, in fact, fairytales have always changed with the times to reflect the values and mores' of the current culture they reside in. Red Riding Hood only became a cautionary tale to warn little girls to obey their mothers in the Victorian Era, and was a much less innocent story before that - in the French Revolution it was a cautionary tale for WOMEN (not girls) to warn them about the kind of men they should be wary of... and BEFORE that, as a french folktale passed on by word of mouth, it was actually a tale about how young women might inherit their grandmother's wisdom. Weird eh? Who woulda thunk? But its true- check it out for yourself.
We also have a great series in the juvenile section, The Sisters Grimm. In graphix we have Rapunzel's Revenge (wouldn't you LOVE to turn your hair into a lasso?) and in movies we have Red Riding Hood, by Catherine Hardwicke, the director of Twilight. Plus Alex also wrote a great blog about all that's currently going on with Snow White.
It's fun, try it! Let's see...What if Cinderella decided she didn't want a prince but a life of her own; no prince, no step sisters... what would she do? Or what it Cynder lived in New York in 2012... and was a gay boy? How would THAT story unfold? Do some research using our spiffy new catalogue (it's fun -- I swear! You can save lists of say "Red Riding hood" as a search term, limit it to YA books, save it as a temporary list and then re-name it and email/fb/twitter it to all your friends... imagine the research possibilities!) Then write/re-write your own fairytale -, twist it around, have fun and THEN... submit it to our TEENSCREATE page and get it published. Presto! Just like that! In fact, bring your writing to our Write Now! program on March 24th and you might even win a prize! (and get feedback on it from published authors!) We may not be fairy Godmother's, but here at the Teenzone we do possess our own special blend of magical powers ;p
As the famous Froud's say, "As artists, Brian and I are merely part of a long mythic tradition—giving old faery tales new life and passing them on to the generations to come."- Wendy Froud
Yes. You read that right... Movie Maniacs, the TeenZone and our friends at Alliance Films are offering a FREE Double-Pass to "The Hunger Games" movie screening at 7:00 p.m. on March 22nd at Chinook Theatre. The movie isn't actually released until the next day, so you'll get to see it before anyone else!
Now, this contest is going to be a little trickier than usual, since this movie has a little more buzz than usual. To enter, you have to tell us WHY YOU DESERVE TO GO TO THE HUNGER GAMES -- and be creative! We're going to pit your entries in a battle-to-the-death (well... kind of...) to see who the champion is. That person will be informed on Wednesday March 21st -- exactly six days from now.
Good Luck! And may the odds be ever in your favour!
Okay... so this whole Twisted Fairytales thing is totally blowing me away. I don't even know where to start! With TWO Snow White revamps coming up this year alone, not to mention that "Once upon a Time" TV show on ABC (yeah... it's about Snow White too...) I realized it was high-time to shed some light on this trend. Thus begins the first of a chain of blogs dedicated to unravelling, demystifying, and just plain gushing over the many adaptations of our fave classic stories.
I'll start with Snow White because that's what got this ball rolling... but FIRST! A little history:
When the Grimm Brothers first published their works in 1857, the young girl who WE know as Snow White was then known as Snow-Drop or Sneewittchen. And while I just called her a "young girl" you might be surprised to know exactly HOW young. In the original version, she is only SEVEN YEARS OLD. As time went on, I suppose people decided it was just too creepy for some random prince to come waltzing by a glass coffin, see a pretty, little [dead] seven-year-old, decide he's gonna kiss her, and then take her to his castle to be his bride. As with a lot of these stories, the disturbing and scary originals are continually adapted to fit current trends and inclinations. So! At one point the story said that Snow White was a kid when she "died" but kept aging in the coffin, so that by the time the prince got to her she was... 16... (still not great...), and eventually, people just decided that she was 16 when she went into the woods, 16 when she died, and then 16 when the prince woke her up. Check out all the sordid details about your fave Fairytales from this awesome E-resource available for FREE from the Calgary Public Library: World Folklore Today and Folklife
But now let's take a look at something a little more twisted:
And it's not just movies and TV shows, although if you want the full list of film adaptations available through CPL, we have a list pending. There are dozens and dozens of books featuring Snow that we have currently circulating in our collection. I've only put the highlights of the other collections and ALL the YA ones here, but feel free to come into ANY branch if you're looking for a specific version.
Picture/Storybooks in the Juvenile Collection:
Adult Spin Offs:
Young Adult and Graphix:
A new movie has come out from the makers of Juno, again looking at adolescence, again featuring adults in states of arrested development. "Young Adult" is unfortunately-and paradoxically- rated R, so intended for grownups who might relate to the challenges of growing up, which seems to become increasingly difficult as we age for some reason.
Charlize Theron's character, Mavis Gary, has not advanced since her glory days in high school. As a writer of teen romance novels, she is suddenly faced with an opportunity to return to her home town and attempt to relive these days-- with disastrous results.
The film reminded me of Gentlemen Broncos, a quirky follow up to Napoleon Dynamite, which features a home-schooled writing prodigy whose science fiction story is plagiarized by a celebrity fantasy author (Germaine from Flight of the Conchords).
These two movies are the latest in a line of films subversively setting up expectations of authors (Renee Zellweger as Beatrix Potter notwithstanding), portraying them as complicated, petty, mean spirited, fallible and completely human. Think of the tightly wound children's author in Elf, or in another Will Ferrell vehicle, Emma Thompson's darkly disturbed author in "Stranger than Fiction", who is unknowingly narrating the real-life counterpart of her protagonist to his demise.
The gaping character flaws are usually played for comedic relief largely because they are counter to the conventional image of the writer, especially those writing children's and teens fiction. After all, these are people who are supposed to have it all figured out, right? More often than not, I'd say they deserve more credit.
"No one suspects the children's writer." Says Mo Willems, who among many other writers of children's books, is included in the documentary Library of the Early Mind, an exploration of the art and impact of children's literature on our kids, our culture, and ourselves. The film features nearly 40 prominent authors and illustrators talking about their work, its genesis and its impact, offering a surprising and deeply insightful look into the lives of writers, illustrators and the industry itself. We learn some surprising facts about some of our most beloved writers. For example, can you guess which author started writing books after a lengthy stint in jail for drug trafficking? Whose Orwellian childhood upbringing inspired a series of books that subversively challenged the infallibility of grown up characters?

Everyone has a list of Christmas Classics that they work their way through every year. I only have three that I haven't yet watched in 2011 (both "Grinches" and "Home Alone")... but it's only Christmas Eve! I like to keep the magic going and watch a bunch of movies well into Boxing Day as well. "Love, Actually" and "The Holiday" are two that I've already seen six times this year, but that's 'cause they're good year-round, and I'm a perennial Christmas-in-July-er.
But when I was looking at my list, I realized that there's a pretty huge gap in the genre, and that movies geared towards teens just aren't factoring into the Hollywood Christmas equation. I find this strange, since Teen Choice is pretty much ruling the scene in every other facet of entertainment. At any rate, it seems like flicks go straight from sickly sweet Kid's movies to R-rated College movies, and there's no mid-range for Jr. High or High School. Maybe I'm wrong though. Maybe you can help me compile a list of the best of the best for Teen Christmas. It's going to be piecemeal, we're going to have to stitch it together bit by bit, but maybe that's what Teen Christmas is all about... holding on to what remains of your childhood, grasping on to what you want out of your future... and add a healthy dose of sarcasm and humour. Merry Christmas... and pardon my gifs.
There is one GLARING exception to that statement, which is, of course, the glaring exception to MOST things. It's Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. Part Christmas, part Halloween, part creepy, part adorable, mix some morbid, macabre, grossie bits with equal parts lovely, romantic, heartfelt bits, and you've got yourself an instant teen classic. It's not for kids (I wasn't allowed to watch it 'cause my mom new I'd get... nightmares...) and not for adults, unless they grew up with it (Movie Maniac Moe can't watch ANY Tim Burton movies because the animations freak her out). But teens hold up Jack Skellington as a paradigm of awesome; you can see his face plastered on everything from hoodies to watches... and poor Sally fits into our metaphor of a patched-together Christmas perfectly.
Mean Girls is NOT a Christmas movie, but it does have two of the greatest snapshots of School Christmas ever to be caught on film: 1) Candy Grams, the best-tasting, most bittersweet test of popularity to ever exist, and
2) The annual Talent Show/Christmas Pagaent/Winter Musical showcase of mediocre "dance skillz" by resident school hotties.
This is pretty much exactly what Jr. High was like for me, and if you haven't seen it yet, watch it, and tell me if it holds up to your school experience. I LOVE THIS MOVIE!
Ummmmmmmm Charlie is a kid in the first Santa Clause, and a graffiti-ing teen in the second... that counts, right? Teens love spraypaint, right?
There's a pretty excellent scene in the full-length Grinch where our green buddy tries shaving for the first time. That's a standard teen trope if ever I saw one!
Buddy the Elf's parents were High School sweethearts. And now I know I'm stretching this way too far. Also thanks to hawkeyefan31 for this gif. If you can't tell, I'm just learning how to make them, and they're pretty sad.
And of course, Christmas Classics aren't limited to movies. After all, what is Christmas without music. Here are some of my favourite Christmas tunes... I'm sure I'm missing plenty, so please send along your favourite playlist so I can add it to mine.
Top of the list is Sufujan Stevens Songs for Christmas. If you haven't already heard it, I'm really sorry Christmas is over and you'll have to wait until next year (because we all know Christmas music after the 26th is a taboo - right?). Songs for Christmas is a brilliant album where Stevens remixes a ton of Christmas classics, mostly religious, in his folksy, quirky way. He also throws in some great original compositions.
Next on my list is Hawksley Workman's First Snow of the Year which captures the joy you feel as a kid when you look out the window and shout 'It's snowing!!' and also, his great tune Merry Christmas (I Love You)
I just recently discovered The Bones of Winter by Said The Whale. This is a darker, more sombre tune that captures the desperate feeling we sometimes have around winter solstice when we know there are 3 more months without sun... it is a lovely song.
Similarly, Joni Mitchell's River is sad song capturing the desparation of loneliness... absolutely beautiful.
I love Fall Out Boy's cover of What's This? It's lots of fun.
And what is Christmas without Vince Guaraldi Trio's Christmas Time is Here ! I'm sure I don't need to tell you that this masterpiece is a Christmas staple and among the most popular Christmas tunes.
So there you have it. The best of the best we could come with with for Christmas and Teens. If you know of a teen movie or song that I'm missing out on, weigh in on the comments board. I hope you all have a very merry Christmas, and we'll see you on the other side.
With holiday magic in the air, I thought I might get away with writing about some great fantastic (and magical books) without having a bunch of people vomit all over me... However, I also happen to know that a lot of you secretly and not-so-secretly love fantasy. And these are books with a twist.
As a teen, a friend introduced me to The Sandman by Neil Gaiman and although I had always shunned comic books, an instant romance was born. Gaiman is a mysterious magician weaving stories that are bizarre and strange, that usually leave you with more questions than answers. He also picks stunning illustrators to work alongside him. One of my favourites is Charles Vess. Vess' style could be best described as Art Nouveau meets 1930's comic book. Instructions, also by Gaiman, is a fairytale poem that might leave you rather quizzical and Stardust: Being a Romance in the Realm of Faerie, is pure indulgence! Go on fairy lovers, love it up! Of course you can always count on Gaiman to never follow the staight and narrow... There's DVD and Blu-Ray versions too. MirrorMask is a lovely, bizarre story that I reviewed earlier as an audiobook. It explores the intricacies and complications of mother/daughter relationships and I had the priviledged coincidence of listening to this in the car this summer while travelling back from Drumheller with my mother. Here's to unplanned synchronicity! MirrorMask is also a beautiful graphic novel illustrated by Dave McKean and a great video.
I discovered that Charles Vess has also illustrated some YA novels by one of my favourite Canadians (Saskachewanite to be precise), Charles DeLint! They're great! And short. In Seven Wild Sisters ginseng, bees and faeries mix! Featuring an Apple Man, an Old Aunt and Wild Hills, here's a short excerpt: "Most of her time was taken up with the basic tasks of eking out a living from her land and the forest... But you could buy your food instead of having to work so hard growing it.' 'Sure I could. But I've had to have me money to do that and to get the money, well, I'd have to work just as hard at something else, except it wouldn't necessarily be as pleasing to my soul.'... 'You find weeding a garden pleasing?', 'You should try it girl. You might be surprised.' " Medicine Road stars the Dillard twins Laurel and Bess (from Seven Wild Sisters) in a wild adventure in the Native Southwest. Check 'em out! Charles DeLint is also an artist, poet, folklorist & critic as well as playing in various bands -- he has just released a CD The Loon's Lament with his wife MaryAnn Harris and John Wood. It features cover art by Calgary's own Lisa Brawn!
The latest superstar to hit the scene earned his stripes working on animation for Toy Story! William Joyce has come up with the brilliant idea of re-working the characters of St. Nicholas, The Man in the Moon the E. Aster Bunnymund and others into "The Guardians of Childhood"; modern day super heroes inhabiting familiar, yet not-so-familiar folktales. These display some stunning SteamPunk style illustrations with a ton of adventure to boot. Maurice Sendak has said that The Man in the Moon is "a fabulous recapturing of an old, real fairy-tale world. Dark Mysterious. Stunning!" and Joyce's latest release Nicholas St. North and the battle of the Nightmare King has hit the shelves... just in time for the holidays.
And what fantasy suite is complete without a title such as The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle? "We are not always what we seem, and hardly ever what we dream." The graphic novel adaped from Beagle's 1968 classic is lushly illustrated by Renea DeLiz and coloured by Ray Dillon. The library has just ordered Beagle's new book First Last Unicorn and other Beginnings. This includes letters, an unpublished novella about The Last Unicorn, interviews, correspondence and other snippets giving delightful insight into the creative process of this beloved master of fantasy. Over the holidays watch the DVD and Blu-Ray versions and then check our stacks in the New Year for the new book. Start the year off right!
Tolkien and Robin Hood Fans will appreciate Mouse Guard by David Petersen. Mouse life is treacherous and towns must be gaurded. Hence the formation of.. "The Mouse Guard"! Immerse yourself in a leaf-ridden, Ork-like medieval mouse's reverie (nightmare or dream?)! Mouse Guard vol. 01 Fall 1152 was critically acclaimed as best Indy Adventure Book of 2006 by Wizard Magazine and I can see why.
Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard vol. 01 also created by David Petersen. This album brings together 17 different comic artists - aka "mice", as they gather together at June Alley Inn to compete to clear their pub tabs by telling the most creative and fantastic stories (a fun nod to the classic "Canterbury Tales" by Chaucer!)
AND... I'm so excited I can barely contain it!!! Alex may geek out about being a Potter fan but I'm a total Lord of the Rings girl and.. Yes! they released an unexpected trailer for Peter Jackson's upcoming The Hobbit! .... Why can't it be next year already?!?!?!?
Sometimes opening something has such a velvety quality, the unknownness of it so black, the mystery so tangible you can almost feel it; like rubbing paper between your fingers. Opening The Invention of Hugo Cabret: a novel in words and pictures is like that. And the adventure unfolds from there. The biggest discovery being how Brian Selznick has almost single handedly reinvented the form of the novel and what a book can be. The story is told in pictures and then in words, back and forth, never repeating scenes. Words and pictures move the story along sequentially; they are not meant to expand on one another nor elaborate. Yet enhance each other they do. Different in this way from a graphic novel, the pictures take up the whole page adding unimaginable layers of depth. Each speaks 1000 words or more, describing both setting and scene with lush pencil strokes, sturdy in execution yet exquisite in detail. It just makes me want to run my fingers over the page, flip them back and forth, back and forth... The quality of the paper is rich as well, reminding me of the the lushness of Vida Simone's art and the memory I have of a personal performance with miniature puppets she performed for me in my apartment (among others) as part of her show at The New Gallery years ago. Telling stories in her own personal way. Hugo Cabret does the same thing.
So flip through the pages I did! And discovered, much to my delight, that the individual sequences of images throughout the book act like mini flip books, animating individual scenes, imitating the earliest animations and stop motion film sequences of silent movies. This adds a physically tangible metaphor to the history of cinema that the book probes to a certain depth; satisfying in metaphor of not breadth. To this add steampunkish elements tying clockwork magicians to the mysteries of the human heart and human bonds. It's no wonder it won the Caldecott Medal in 2008.
Et tu parle Francais? Since the book does take place in Paris.. get the the French version here. The book has so many layers. Its very form is half of it! This leaves me wondering if a film on the book can truly do it justice. Yet the story is so strong in and of itself, and.. it does deal with the invention of cinema, so a film MUST have something to add to the discussion of itself... "Hugo" In theatres TODAY (November 23rd) you can watch the trailer here. One thing I don't doubt= I am excited to see it!
I'm even more excited to read and experience Selznick's next adventure in the re-invention of the novel = Wonderstruck. Here he talks about how he wanted to tell 2 stories. One about Rose, set in the past, told in pictures and one about Ben, set in the present, told in words. At some point the stories meet in the middle and either a puzzle is solved and/or a new mystery evolves. See the website here.
Let the mysteries begin. Perhaps all is not lost to e-books and cyberspace. Selznick has given us something in these books akin to the realization that the specialness of a handwritten letter or home made card can never equal an email or Facebook Message. So go ahead - use you pencil!
Puss in Boots is back for ONE MORE ADVENTURE, but this time he's flying solo! Puss hears of a legendary treasure at the top of a magical beanstalk, and decides to go after it. Lots of swashbuckling fun, pop culture digs, and some over-the-kids'-heads humour, "Puss in Boots" is guaranteed to be a good time.
Want to win tickets? Just tell us the name of the Actor who voices Puss, and one other movie he's been in, and you'll be entered for the draw!
Just TRY to go to this movie and not have fun... I dare you.
Congratulations to our Winners; Rosemary, Rhonda, Greg, Shushma, Aiza, Karen, Bethany, Cynthia, and Adrienne

At SB Nation, Marc Normandin looks at players (including Chone Figgins) who were terrible in 2011 but still have jobs in 2012. He does not look at Vernon Wells. He could have looked at Vernon Wells. I will look at Vernon Wells.
Vernon Wells will be better in 2012 than he was in 2011. I don't like to make bold statements, because you can't predict baseball and because you know as much as I do anyway so who cares what I think. But Vernon Wells will be better in 2012. While Vernon Wells is doing better in 2012, you will read a series of newspaper articles explaining why Vernon Wells is doing better in 2012. You will read stories that say:
You will also read blog posts by smart analysts that say:
All valid pieces, and I look forward to reading them all. But really the reason Vernon Wells is doing better is that he dramatically underperformed his true talent level in 2011, and baseball players have a way of finding their true talent levels.
This is a graph of the Dow Jones Industrial Average over the past century:
There are huge spikes, like in the 1920s. There are deep valleys, like in the 1930s. But the slope is remarkably reliable as a whole, because that slope is the true value of the American stock market. (I think. What am I, Bear Stearns?) Baseball players are like the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and their outlier seasons are the spikes and valleys, but their careers follow a pretty predictable aging curve of growth and decline. Vernon Wells is not going to have a .248 OBP in 2012 any more than the Dow Jones Industrial Average was going to stay at Depression levels forever. Vernon Wells was never that bad, and Vernon Wells still isn't that bad, so Vernon Wells won't be that bad again.
Which is not to say that Vernon Wells will be good. If 2011 was Vernon Wells' 1930s, 2010 was quite possibly his 1920s. But he'll be better.
Vernon Wells' projections:

VOC Test Methods & Modifications Part 1: What is the Purpose of the VOC Emissions Test?
Choosing the most appropriate test method(s) and method modification(s) for accurate Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions measurement can be confusing. To establish the best VOC testing method or combination of VOC testing methods, first determine the purpose of the VOC test.
A. Compliance
1. Determine Air Pollution Control Device (APCD) efficiency. Emissions from a faulty APCD can often be difficult to quantify, but if left unaccounted for, they can have a critical impact on source compliance and statewide emission inventories.
2. Identify emissions entering the atmosphere – VOC as VOC and organic hazardous air pollutants (HAP)
B. Engineering
1. Discover VOC emission profile versus process operations and/or PCD
2. Ensure compliance under differing operational scenarios
C. Survey
1. Source has never been tested or received unreliable test data
2. Unknown emission composition and compounds
3. Tests are necessary to measure total VOC and organic HAP
See Air Compliance Testing's next post for a set of helpful questions to determine the most accurate VOC test methods and modifications for your facility.
Air Compliance Testing can help develop a Site Specific Test Plan for your EPA compliance testing requirements. We can help determine the best EPA test methods to maximize the accuracy of VOC and HAP emissions measurements. Our experts can identify the most appropriate EPA test methods to determine the specific process emission variables (e.g., temperature, moisture content, VOC concentration, grain loading, particle size distribution, etc.) necessary for the design and specification of air pollution control (APC) equipment.

Meinhardt's "Hopscotch" installation, showcased at the Vivid Sydney light and music festival, had visitors hopping up and down to create their own LED light rainbows. The low-energy light installation was one of more than 40 projects by local and international artists that encouraged interaction from visitors.
Conceived by architectural lighting design firm Meinhardt Light Art, "Hopscotch" had guests jump up and down on the historic Moore stairs at Circular Quay in Sydney, Australia, according to World Architecture News. By jumping up and down on the steps, visitors were able to switch colored light beams on and off, effectively creating their very own rainbows at night.
"Hopscotch" comprises of steps illuminated by color-mixed LED spotlights. The installation displays the full color spectrum of light from violet blue to deep red, with a monochromatic light and RGB lights blurring together as the steps are lit. The lights are automatically turned on or off via a micro-wave beam that detects movement. If a person runs up or down the steps, a moving rainbow of light is created; alternatively, two people can play on the steps to create a "dance of light."
Although a fun and visually engaging, interactive experience, the "Hopscotch" installation essentially demonstrates how the control of light allows us to conserve more energy. According to Meinhardt's Senior Lighting Designer Fiona Venn, the installation is a playful way to show how modern sensor technology can ensure that we use light only when and where we need it.
