Join us as we welcome James Gee, Craig Watkins and Craig Anderson to discuss technology, cognition and youth. The evening will begin with each guest presenting on a topic of their choice related to technology and cognition. This will be followed by a moderated discussion and conclude with questions from the audience.
James Gee is a member of the National Academy of Education. His book Sociolinguistics and Literacies (1990, Third Edition 2007) was one of the founding documents in the formation of the "New Literacy Studies", an interdisciplinary field devoted to studying language, learning, and literacy in an integrated way in the full range of their cognitive, social, and cultural contexts. His book An Introduction to Discourse Analysis (1999, Second Edition 2005) brings together his work on a methodology for studying communication in its cultural settings, an approach that has been widely influential over the last two decades.
Professor Gee's most recent books deal with video games, language, and learning. What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy (2003, Second Edition 2007) argues that good video games are designed to enhance learning through effective learning principles supported by research in the Learning Sciences. Situated Language and Learning (2004) places video games within an overall theory of learning and literacy and shows how they can help us in thinking about the reform of schools. His most recent book is Good Video Games and Good Learning: Collected Essays (2007). Professor Gee has published widely in journals in linguistics, psychology, the social sciences, and education.
Craig Watkins studies young people's social and digital media behaviors. He teaches at the University of Texas, Austin, in the departments of Radio-Television-Film, Sociology, and the Center for African and African American Studies. Watkins addresses issues that range from the social impacts of young people's participation in digital media culture to educational implications. He has engaged a dynamic mix of communities including the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Drug Addiction, IBM Center for Social Software, SXSW Interactive, the National School Boards Association, Smart Mixed-Signal Connectivity, the Austin Forum on Science and Technology for Society, iCivics, MacArthur Foundation, and the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum (NYC).
His book, The Young and the Digital: What the Migration to Social Network Sites, Games, and Anytime, Anywhere Media Means for Our Future (Beacon 2009), is based on survey research, in-depth interviews, and fieldwork with teens, young twenty-somethings, teachers, parents, and technology advocates. The Young and the Digital explores young people's dynamic engagement with social media, games, mobile phones, and communities like Facebook.
Craig Anderson is a Distinguished Professor of Liberal Arts and Sciences in the Department of Psychology at Iowa State University. He currently is Director of Iowa State University's Center for the Study of Violence, and President of the International Society for Research on Aggression. Anderson's 150+ publications span a wide range of areas, including judgment and decision making; depression, loneliness, and shyness; personality theory and measurement; and attribution theory. In recent years, his work has focused on the development of a General Aggression Model designed to integrate insights from cognitive, developmental, personality, and social psychology. His pioneering work on video-game violence has led to consultations with educators, government officials, child advocates, and news organizations worldwide. He is the author of Violent Video Game Effects on Children and Adolescents, which describes the effects of playing violent video games, explains how these effects occur, and explores possible actions that parents, educators, and public policy creators can take to deal with this important social issue.
Steven Strogatz is the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor of Applied Mathematics at Cornell University, and is currently Director of the Center for Applied Mathematics. He holds a joint appointment in the College of Arts and Sciences (Mathematics) and the College of Engineering (Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering). In 2009 he was elected a Fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics for his "investigations of small-world networks and coupled oscillators and for outstanding science communication." Strogatz has been a frequent guest on National Public Radio's RadioLab. In the spring of 2010 he wrote a weekly blog about mathematics for the New York Times; the Harvard Business Review described these columns as "must reads for entrepreneurs and executives" and "a model for how mathematics needs to be popularized." Strogatz has also filmed a series of 24 lectures on Chaos for the Teaching Company's Great Courses series, available on DVD. He is the author of Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos (1994) and Sync (2003). His most recent book, The Calculus of Friendship, was published in August 2009.
Dr. Sue Savage-Rumbaugh is a scientist with special standing at Great Ape Trust - a world-class research center dedicated to studying the behavior and intelligence of great apes. The first and only scientist to conduct language research with Bonobos, Savage-Rumbaugh joined Great Ape Trust in 2005 following a 30-year association with Georgia State University's Language Research Center (LRC). Information developed at the LRC regarding the abilities of non-human primates to acquire symbols, comprehend spoken words, decode simple syntactical structures, learn concepts of number and quantity, and perform complex perceptual-motor tasks has helped change the way humans view other members of the primate order. Dr. Savage-Rumbaugh's work with Kanzi, the first ape to learn language in the same manner as children, was detailed in Language Comprehension in Ape and Child published in Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development (1993). It was selected by the "Millennium Project" as one of the top 100 most influential works in cognitive science in the 20th century by the University of Minnesota Center for Cognitive Sciences in 1991.
The Woods Lecture Series is proud to partner with the University of Indianapolis Center for Aging & Community as part of the Spirit and Place festival to present Dr. Bruce Miller. Our bodies and minds are inextricably linked. The neurological connections in our bodies interpret our environment, create our experiences and ultimately define our lives. As we age, these connections may begin to slow and change, and the definition of our daily lives changes. Understanding dementia and the physical and chemical changes in our bodies that cause it is a fascinating component of the human condition. Dementia can be caused by a number of different conditions; it is a symptom of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, frontotemporal dementia or corticobasal degeneration. Dr. Miller is Professor of Neurology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) where he holds the A.W. & Mary Margaret Clausen Distinguished Chair. Dr. Miller is the clinical director of the Memory and Aging Center (MAC) at UCSF, which is funded through the State of California, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Larry L. Hillblom Foundation, amongst others. Dr. Miller will be speaking about his research and work at the Memory and Aging Center (MAC) at UC San Francisco. At the MAC, Dr. Miller links comprehensive patient evaluations to basic research in neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry, neuroimaging and genetics. At the conclusion of the lecture, the audience is invited to take part in a question and answer session with Dr. Miller.
As part of the J. James Woods Lecture Series Butler University will be welcoming Dr. Bruce Miller, a behavioral neurologist with a special interest in brain and behavior relationships and has focused his work in the area of dementia. Dr. Miller's lecture will focus on the brain and aging, with a specific focus on dementia. Dementia is the general term for progressive brain disorders that gradually destroys a person's ability to carry out daily activities. Our bodies and minds are inextricably linked. The neurological connections in our bodies interprets our environment, creates our experiences and ultimately defines our lives.

Much of the public debate about "global warming" has focused on air temperatures, melting glaciers and slowly rising sea levels, but climate change is already harming the health of people around the world. Award-winning journalist Dan Ferber specializes in putting a human face on groundbreaking stories on science, technology, health and the environment. As a correspondent for Science and contributor to national magazines such as Reader's Digest, Popular Science and Audubon, he's covered topics from malaria to cancer, from dam removal to factory farms, from high-tech crops to engineered tissues. In Changing Planet, Changing Health, he worked with Paul Epstein, MD, associate director of the Center for Health and Global Environment at Harvard Medical School, to reveal the surprising links between climate change and cholera, malaria, Lyme disease, asthma, and other public health concerns. Ferber holds a bachelor's degree in zoology from Duke, a Ph.D. in biology from Johns Hopkins University and a masters in journalism from the University of Illinois.

Wes Jackson, President of The Land Institute, was born in 1936 on a farm near Topeka, Kansas. After attending Kansas Wesleyan, he studied botany (M.A. University of Kansas, 1960) and genetics (Ph.D. North Carolina State University, 1967). He was a professor of biology at Kansas Wesleyan and later established the Environmental Studies department at California State University, Sacramento, where he became a tenured full professor. He resigned that position in 1976 and returned to Kansas to found The Land Institute. Dr. Jackson's writings include both papers and books. His most recent work, Consulting the Genius of the Place: An Ecological Approach to a New Agriculture, was published by Counterpoint Press in 2010. The work of The Land Institute has been featured extensively in the popular media including The Atlantic Monthly, Audubon, National Geographic, Time Magazine,The MacNeil-Lehrer News Hour, and National Public Radio's "All Things Considered." Life magazine named Wes Jackson as one of 18 individuals they predict will be among the 100 "important Americans of the 20th century." In the November 2005 issue, Smithsonian named him one of "35 Who Made a Difference" and in March, 2009 Wes was included in Rolling Stone's"100 Agents of Change. "In addition to lecturing nationwide and abroad, Dr. Jackson is involved outside The Land Institute with a variety of projects including being a Post Carbon Institute Fellow, a Councillor with the World Future Council and a member of the Green Lands Blue Waters Steering Committee.

What If: Purge of the Aspects
But how does the former Aspect of Life, the Lifebringer, the Dragonqueen Alexstraza suddenly turn to evil? Oh I guess we could go with the corrupted by Old Gods route ... but that would be far, far too easy. Instead, let's look at the interesting premise of the Aspect's charge -- and what happens when we fail our duties as mortals.

I went out to inspect my melon plants-and count the various little melons and found a small Praying Mantis standing guard over one of my watermelon plants.
I wish I had a thousand of the little guys. |

I did the same thing a half hour ago, but it wasn't a praying mantis, it was a long thin black 3 inch pincher bug. He looked like this: Not my picture and he/she was a little longer, but it looked like it. I'll bet the squash bugs wouldn't tango with him. |
Are those things beneficials? I keep killing them. |
- Posted by scarletdaisies 7 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 18, 10 at 22:02
I did too at first, got about two of them, but they are beneficials for sure! Don't you hate when an ugly bug you would kill is your only hope! They come out at night usually. http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/2000/2102.html I also just found out by svb look-a-like, a mydas fly, a beneficial! I'll forgive him in trying to attack me, it must have been the hat! |
Here is a link that might be useful: mydas fly
it was a long thin black 3 inch pincher bug That's not a pincher bug. Earwigs are what people call pincher bugs and they only measure 1" at most. |
- Posted by scarletdaisies 7 (My Page) on Sat, Jun 19, 10 at 11:00
This is a beetle, not an earwig. Yeah, I came across that when I was searching, didn't know what an earwig looked like. That is why I'll explain him as a beetle, an earwig is not nearly the size and shape of a pincher topped beetle. |

Love the preying mantis. They are fun to watch and a good hungry eater of bugs. If you are gentle with them, they don't mind being handled when it is necessary. I've moved 100's of them off of weeds that were being loaded for a trip to the dump and placed them on my fruit trees. Isn't that black one a stink bug? I've heard they damage crops. |
- Posted by soonergrandmom Z6 Oklahoma (My Page) on Sat, Jun 19, 10 at 14:40
Praying Mantis may eat bad bugs, but they eat the good ones also, including other praying mantis. I'd rather not have them. |
- Posted by scarletdaisies 7 (My Page) on Sat, Jun 19, 10 at 15:12
A stink bug is flat and looks like a squash bug, it's a beetle and the page describing it is below the picture. I would never handle a praying mantis because I've heard they bite, hard! But I don't kill them and they are very friendly looking. I've only seen 3 so far in the garden, so maybe they will make more. |

scarletdaisies, I've noticed that you've been posting pictures on the forums that you've gotten from other places. I'm just letting you know that that is a no-no and don't want you to get in trouble for it. People/universities/businesses don't usually have a problem with someone else posting or using their photos as long as you ask the entity that owns it first or link back to where you found the pic, but some would consider it stealing if you don't. I'm not trying to be mean about it or anything, I just thought maybe you didn't know :) |
- Posted by timbersmith 6A (My Page) on Sat, Jun 19, 10 at 20:12
I've never had a problem handling a praying mantis - they always want to get away at first, but then settle down after they get more comfortable. One time at work I came out to find a mid-sized praying mantis on the side of my car - so I picked it up and tried to get it calmed down. It eventually decided that the top of my thumb was a nice place to rest, so I drove home - with that mantis sitting on top of my thumb the whole way. Just sitting there watching things and cleaning up, as content as could be. |

I'll watch out for that, but being this is a garden forum, they know I'm not selling the picture and their url is always posted below it. I've never so far encountered a petty type who would complain about a picture borrowed, especially if their url is below it giving them credit and a little free add for their product or what not. No, but flickr and many photo urls have public pictures that are perfectly legal to use. I'll definitely watch that. Most of these people with web pages and photos are trying to give information out to the public anyways to make them more aware. |
scarletdaisies... Checking with browsers Firefox and IE, I don't see "their url is always posted below it". I can right click on the image and select "properties" and find the url that way, however. Basically what you're doing is "hotlinking". Potentially the problem with this is perhaps not so much that you've "borrowed" their picture, but they, the "host", have to pay for the bandwidth for it to be downloaded here. At a size of about 67kb, it's probably not all that significant, however, it can add up. 100 viewers of this thread means 6.7 meg of bandwidth "stolen". Some info in the link below... |

I have never heard of a preying mantis biting a human. Very rarely, a frightened mantis will strike out with one front foot. You can feel the blow, but it doesn't break the skin. Handle them gently, and only if you have a good reason, and you won't receive any hostility from them. I don't approve of catching them and keeping them in jars as "pets". They are wild creatures, so leave them in the garden and observe them in their native habitat. |
The above beetle is the common Black Ground Beetle. It is a predator. I'm with soongrandmom on the Praying mantis. I don't like to see them in my gardens, where the beneficials outnumber the pests. If you ever see a pile of butterfly wings on the ground, you'll know that a praying mantis has had lunch. I've had one bite me and break the skin, by the way. When handling them, don't let them get to the skin between your fingers, where those big mandibles can get a good grip. |

Back to the topic...I thought I'd share this cool pic of a mantis devouring a mosquito hawk in my peppers. I'm VERY LUCKY to have dozens of mantids all over this year. I'm assuming one of the mantids from last year enjoyed the bug buffet that is my garden so much that it made a comfy nest in the shrubbery last year. It's fun observing the juveniles mature...will take more pics! :-) Caroline |

I wonder what plants a praying mantis is attracted to, or is it certain prey? |
- Posted by gardningscomplicated southeast michigan - (My Page) on Mon, Jun 21, 10 at 0:27
I saw a small one on the way out to my new garden today. I always thought they were kinda cool looking. |
Hi, I live in central Illinois and it gets very cold in the winter. Every year we have a praying mantis show up about this time and they are really cool to watch. But this year a female has been here for 3 weeks and lives on the inside of our screen door, so it is like a private aquarium to watch her (Freddy). Recently she laid an egg sack and I am afraid that the winter will hurt them, and I dont want them hatching right in our doorway. Can I move them to our barn shed and if so how do I do it safely. Thanks Angie |
I can't believe I hear people *not* wanting mantises in their gardens cuz they'll eat the beneficial insects. Do you also dislike spiders, frogs and dragonflies in the garden? And when I see a pile of butterfly wings on the ground I think "fantastic... one less cabbage butterfly". |
You can believe me when I say it. When the mantis sets up sentry duty on my Echinaceae, it's after nothing but butterflies and bees. I saw one the other day on some of my blooming Autumn Joy sedum. Guess which plant is literally swarming with all kinds of pollinating insects at this time of year? In my gardens, with so few pests, the praying mantis doesn't have much to do other than make me irritated. I've released them into the garage upon occasion, where black widows have made themselves at home. I'm not sure who would win that battle, but I'd be rooting for the mantis! mandi, the egg case of the praying mantis is designed to withstand winter weather of all kinds. However, I don't think you want it on the inside of your screen door! I've never tried to move an egg case and they seem to be fairly securely attached whenever I find them. What's the situation with yours? Does it appear to be loose or tightly glued down? If not, you should be able to gingerly move it to an outdoor location where it might have some protection. Use a dap of super glue to secure it in place. |
- Posted by dan_staley 5b/S 2b AHS 6-7 (My Page) on Tue, Sep 21, 10 at 19:17
I doubt you can successfully move an egg case. I wouldn't risk it. As far as mantids go, they eat whatever they catch and I have a film foto around here somewhere of the ground underneath an old butterfly bush littered with butterfly wings of all sorts. We have literally hundreds of ambush bugs in the yard and they eat bees and butterflies as well as other things. That is how things work. Nothing you can do about it. Dan |
You can successfully remove it with a razor blade if it's on a flat surface. The problem is sticking it on another flat surface. You could probably use a thin layer of elmers wood glue but it would have to be a spot that doesn't receive any moisture. |

I've gotta wonder if Don knows he's talkin' bollocks when he declares that that Vanity 6 wrote and produced all the music on their LP (it wuz Prince wot did all that), but he and I are definately on the same wavelength when he looks to the audience after the performance and grunts "they bad, ain't they?". I don't think I'm ever going to be able to listen to Nasty Girl again without doing the point-to-the-head which Vanity does during the "think they got more water upstairs than they got sugar on the candy cane" and that's the sign of a great video clip of a song : one which illuminates details of the song in such a manner that you'll forever listen to it and interact with it slightly differently afterwards.
Cot-fucking-damn, son - Denise Matthews AKA Vanity and Susan Moonsie sure were mighty fine pieces of ass, right? Brenda Bennett the token cracka seems way out of her depth next to two foxes from outer space like Denise and Susan, but, I dunno, she sorta has that old skool Razzle Romp steez which Bananarama also had in spades that really swings my pendulum and the sneer she puts on when she does the "Duh-duh-duh-duh"'s in the refrain are hotter than this gif :
Well, maybe not hotter than that, but i'm sure you'll agree that Brenda's effort is appreciated nontheless.
Dr Jeckyll & Mr Hyde - The Challenge
There's your standard Martorialist rap tie-in here with The Challenge by Dr Jeckyll & Mr Hyde being the first example of a a rap song which was a direct answer record to a mainstream hit, but, really, this is a post designed for drooling over Vanity 6 pictures not waffling on about obscure rap records from 1982 with lyrics like "my love is so good and hard it could be my credit card".

From the day John Jay opened its doors, veterans have been important members of our undergraduate and graduate classes. To help veterans throughout their course of study, The City University of New York has established various incentives to ease the financial burden of attending college.
Please review the various benefits available:
Students who leave CUNY to fulfill military obligations
1. Students called up to the reserves or drafted before the end of the semester:
Grades. In order to obtain a grade, a student must attend 13 weeks (five weeks for summer session).
Refunds. A student called up to the reserves or drafted or who does not attend for a sufficient time to qualify for a grade is entitled to a 100 percent refund of tuition and all other fees except application fees.
2. Students who volunteer (enlist) for the military:
Grades. Same provision as for students called up to the reserves. In order to obtain a grade, a student must attend 13 weeks (five weeks for summer session).
Refunds. The amount of the refund depends upon whether the withdrawal is before the fifth week of classes.
- Withdrawal before the beginning of the fifth calendar week (third calendar week for summer sessions): 100 percent refund of tuition and all other fees except application fees
- Withdrawal thereafter: 50 percent refund
3. Other Provisions for Military Service:
Resident Tuition Rates. These lower rates are applicable to all members of the armed services, their spouses and their dependent children, on full-time active duty and stationed in the State of New York.
Re-enrollment of Veterans. Veterans who are returning students are given preferred treatment in the following ways:
Veterans who were former students with unsatisfactory scholastic records may be readmitted with a probationary program.
Veterans, upon their return, may register even after normal registration periods, without late fees.
Granting of college credit for military service and armed forces instructional courses.
Veterans returning too late to register may audit classes without charge
Late Admissions.Veterans with no previous college experience are permitted to file applications up to the date of registration, and are allowed to begin classes pending completion of their application and provision of supporting documents.
Readmission Fee.Upon return from military service, a student will not be charged a readmission fee to register at the same college.
Veterans Tuition Deferrals. Veterans are entitled to a one-time deferment of their tuition payment pending receipt of veterans' benefits.
New York State National Guard Tuition Assistance Active members of the New York National Guard, who are legal residents of New York State and who do not have a baccalaureate degree, are eligible for tuition assistance for undergraduate study.
Veterans Benefits: Montgomery G.I. Bill–Active Duty (Chapter 30)
Under Chapter 30, individuals who entered military service on or after July 1, 1985 and had their basic military pay reduced by $100 per month for the first 12 months of service are generally eligible. For up- to-date information, please visit the Veterans Affairs website.
Veterans Benefits: Post-9/11 G.I. Bill (Chapter 33)
The Post-9/11 GI Bill provides financial support for education and housing to individuals with at least 90 days of aggregate service after September 10, 2001, or individuals discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days. You must have received an honorable discharge to be eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill. However, to be eligible for 100% of the benefits, you must have served three years post-September 10, 2001. For up- to-date information, please visit the Veterans Affairs website.
Veterans Benefits: Montgomery G.I. Bill–Selective Reserve (Chapter 106)
Under Chapter 106, individuals who are satisfactorily participating in required training or who are fulfilling an obligated service of not less than six years in the Selective Reserve are eligible for benefits. For up- to-date information, please visit the Veterans Affairs website.
Military Deferment for Loan Repayments
Effective July 1, 2006, for all loan programs issued through John Jay (Direct Loans and Perkins Loans), a new military deferment has been created, effective for loans for which the first disbursement is made on or after July 1, 2001. On or after July 1, 2006, a qualified borrower may receive a deferment for a period in which he or she meets the qualifications after July 1, 2001. The deferment shall not exceed a total of three years, and applies only to periods during which borrowers are serving on active duty during a war or other military operation, or national emergency, or performing qualifying National Guard duty during a war or other military operation or national emergency. As a result, not all active duty military personnel are eligible for this new deferment.

Oh, but soon there will be those who have photos, memories and a lot less money, and WE'LL still be excited about GOING and frantically trying to save a few more dollars for our trip. :yahoo:
Printable View
True that, my friend.
OH MY GOSH>>> my tummy did a flip flop with excitment when i logged on today and seen 11 days and 6 hours... nearly 10 DAYS!! 10 DAYS!!! until we live on our vacation!!... i feel like a 100 things to do.. but i have to wait til the last min on all of them..
yippee yipee yipee!!! i have nearly 10 days til our long awaited vacation!!!! i cant wait!!!
It's almost here Chrissy! I've gotten so excited up for your trip I feel as if I'm going myself. Isn't it funny how we do that around here? Total Disney family moment. Anyhow, how's packing going? Does Tayen realize how soon it is? BTW, Adam and I were at the Disney Store yesterday...saw your Jack and Sally shirts. Totally cute.
i'm really getting into packing now.. i went today and bought new batteries for our cam and stuff.. finshed the whole costumes issues.. bug is still going to be a pirate because her costume is just too cute! i'm so excited and so ready!! we have like 9 days until we leave on our vacation.. were stoping in chattanooga saturday and spending the day
YEA!!!!! It'll be here before you know it!
:hurray:less than 10 days :hurray:
OH MY GOSH!!! i'm in the single digits!!!!! woo hoo!!.. why do i feel stressed???
You're to the point now where yu can check the predicted weather forecast at
10 Day Weather Forecast for Orlando, FL - weather.com
Well, at least it says "scattered" on most of those pictures of lightning. Don't forget, ponchos are cheap- and they are clear so you can see all your great homemade outfits under them.
the weather told us it was going to rain every day when we looked 10 days out. It didn't rain once! =)
i hope it dont rain and if it does i at least hope it doesnt stop the fun we have planned.. its 9 days until we leave but its like 12 days before we check into disney.. so it can rain until the 29th then it must stop
i'm off to clean and pack and watch tower of terror while i do it!
i got my bathroom bag packed.. all but my curling iron, brents shaving stuff and our toothbrushes.. everything else i bought in travelsize.. i also packed our day in the park bag with the stuff of the list.. and its packed into tayens mickey backpack with her name embrod. on it that she got for her bday.. i'm going to hang it off her stroller.. now i have started mine and brents bag.. and i have packed his bag for his work trip he has to go on tuesday. he'll be gone over night..Tayen is semi packed now.. i just wanna go back through her stuff and mark it all off the checklist.. and monday i'm calling and double checking all my ressie stuff!!
i have 8 days andf counting!
It's so exciting...the anticipation...it's almost better than the trip itself, but of course, the trip is incomparable. 8 days left for the packing of the rest of your stuff should leave you maybe about 10 minutes to get to the airport (j/k). We're expecting a blockbuster report, but of course you know that. Just another well-wish.

LittleBigPlanet Karting announced for this year, gets a trailer
Sackboy indeed going karting in a spin-off from ModNation Racers studio.
We heard last month that a new LittleBigPlanet is in development and here's Sony sending official words regarding the game's existence. And no, this isn't a sequel, but a racing spin-off due for release on PlayStation 3 in 2012.
LittleBigPlanet Karting is co-developed between series creator Media Molecule and United Front Games, the same people who brought us the acclaimed ModNation Racers.
According to the developer, the game will provide you with a new toolset that allows for endless creation, a 'la LBP's trademark offering, Play Create Share. That means you can design your own tracks, customize Sackboy, the karts and have your own rules set, while having the ability to submit the user-generated content online and share them with the world.
"With LBP's powerful and diverse toolset in their capable hands, LittleBigPlanet Karting is sure to be an adventure that both LBP fans and kart racing fans alike will enjoy! We are very eager to see what you think of this union and especially excited to see what happens now that you have a 3D environment to create in! It's the start of a whole new LBP world!" said Media Molecule.

Jerramy Fine
Born in 1977, Jerramy Fine grew up in western Colorado. (Yet she still maintains there was a dreadful hospital mix-up and she was switched at birth with the baby daughter of English aristocrats.) She attended the University of Rochester, where she spent her semester abroad working in the House of Commons, and later completed her master's at the London School of Economics. She now lives in London with her English boyfriend. He's not royal, but she forgives him.

60 Mr A. Eden, U.K. Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs, to Mr R. G. Menzies, Prime Minister
Circular cablegram D58 LONDON, 15 February 1940, 8.11 p.m.
1. It has been officially stated in Washington that the United States Under Secretary of State's forthcoming visit to Italy, France, Germany and Great Britain is being undertaken solely for the purpose of advising the President [2] and the Secretary of State [3] as to the present conditions in Europe and that he will be authorised to make no proposals or commitments in the name of the United States Government.
2. As the Prime Minister [4] stated in the House of Commons on 13th February, His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom will be ready to welcome Mr. Sumner Welles and to take him fully into their confidence with the object of assisting the President to form an estimate of the present situation. While, however, that is the spirit in which His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom will receive the Under Secretary of State, they are not without some misgivings as to the effect that may be produced by the visit in Allied and in neutral countries. It may well bring into open and vocal prominence those elements in public opinion in Allied countries, unimportant though they may be, who wish to abandon the struggle. Thus, while the restrictions in force in Germany will maintain a false appearance of unity, the freedom of opinion in the democratic countries might in certain circumstances create an impression of apparent disunity. The President's initiative is also likely to mobilise the sentiment which undoubtedly exists in neutral countries in favour of early peace, even though it was inconclusive and precarious.
3. His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom believe however that in spite of these dangers the Under Secretary's visit may serve a good purpose if he can convey to the President a clear picture of the issues which are at stake, and assure him of the determination of the Allies to achieve the aims which they have set before themselves and have publicly proclaimed.

With the growth in the expense and complexity of experimental equipment in many fields (astronomical instruments and accelerators in particle physics are two examples) and increasing constraints on research budgets, the need for mechanisms that will help researchers to share such scarce and costly resources has become ever more pressing. The collaboratory concept has developed in the nineties as a method that may enable researchers to work together on projects even though they might be thousands of miles apart. Using information technology, they would be able to schedule and set up experiments, control instruments remotely, share data, and communicate with each other in a "laboratory without walls". The term seems to have been coined by Professor William Wulf of the University of Virginia in an unpublished paper in 1989 as a blend of collaboration and laboratory. The term has not appeared much in the UK, perhaps in part because the British pronunciation of laboratory on its second syllable makes the blend less felicitous.

Radiant in Residential
Breaking down the cost advantages of radiant heating
One of the main concerns people have when switching their traditional heating system to radiant heating floor panels is costs.
One of the main concerns people have when switching their traditional heating system to radiant heating floor panels is costs.
When moving into an older home, there are undoubtedly some updates that will need to be completed to make the house more cost-efficient and comfortable.
There are many reasons that radiant heating has become increasingly popular in recent years.
In the northern city of Toronto, it's much harder to find lofted, one-bedroom apartments or condos.
There's something beautiful about the older styled homes that are found in New England. Colonials are a traditional site along many of the roads in states across the northeast.
The unseasonable cold winter that is already making its presence known doesn't mean that the inside of a home has to be chilled as well. Even with the frost outside the windows, it is possible to stay toasty and warm indoors.
Winter is officially underway, which means there's plenty of reason to celebrate. The holiday season is here, families and friends are bundled up close and winter sports abound. Unfortunately, the season also brings with it bitter, chilly weather. To stay warm this winter, a homeowner can invest in a radiant floor heating system.
There's nothing quite like the comfort that comes from the knowledge that the utility systems and technologies installed in your home are working effectively. Walking into your home after a long day at work, running errands or volunteering means you are looking forward to having time to kick up your feet and relax in comfort.
In the northeastern city of Boston, the right combination of features can ensure that a home remains comfortable, even in the notoriously fickle New England climate. It's not unusual for the snow to fall one week - coating the entire city in a blanket of ice, sleet and powder - and for the weather to warm to somewhere in the 50s a few days later.
As the snow, sleet and ice cover everything outside, homeowners are tired by the time they make it to their front door.

Loretta Lynn at Arlington Music Hall
With Blake Shelton's recent ill-considered comment about Nashville veterans -- for those who missed it, the Oklahoma native said in an interview with Great American Country that "nobody wants to listen to their grandpa's music," and "kids ... don't want to buy the music [their elders] were buying" -- perhaps it's worth remembering that icons like Loretta Lynn helped pave the way for folks like Shelton. After all, Lynn's no-nonsense catalog, full of groundbreaking songs like Rated X and Fist City, made possible Shelton's hits like ... Hillbilly Bone. Maybe it's not time to write off the old folks just yet. With Holly Williams.
7:30 p.m. Saturday. Arlington Music Hall, Arlington. $45-$75.
Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios
While folks outside of Texas lose their collective minds over the talent of guitar slinger Gary Clark Jr., there's another blues-inclined guitarist from Austin making just as worthy a ruckus: the scorchingly talented Black Joe Lewis, who's been winning over audiences for the past six years (in Clark's defense, he has about a decade's experience on Lewis and his band). Lewis and the Honeybears continue to tour in support of 2011's Scandalous, and as anyone who has ever seen them live will tell you, they put on one heckuva show.
8 p.m. Tuesday. Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios, Denton. $13, $15.

Did someone say on here that they get their pavers at Menardes? If so do they have them this time of yr? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes, they are at Menards year round. If you live where its cold and snowy be prepared to dig them out of the snow. They keep them in the yard and just have one or two in the store for display. |
Thanks nodakgal. It's not going to be snowy at the one where we are going. I've never been there before. We are also going to harbor freights. Anythings good there to be on the look at for. I noticed on the internet add for menards they have the glass blocks for 3 something and get one free. Sounds like a good deal... |

Two Maine teens sparked Internet outrage when they filmed themselves microwaving a kitten and posted the video online. Concerned followers notified police, who identified both girls as students, age 15, of South Portland High School. The girls were issued summonses for animal cruelty and the kitten was taken to a shelter. The eight-week-old kitten was not injured in the incident.

This Marie Antoinette party was originally hosted by Laura over at Decor To Adore.
What a fun and creative theme Laura had for her 40th birthday! It is perfectly pretty and oh so vintage inspired! You won't want to miss seeing all her girlfriends dressed up for this party! Everything she did shows her attention to detail….right down to the candles, flower petals, "ladies in waiting" and the music playing in the background.
Enjoy Laura's party……
A big celebration had been in the works by my children that I truly considered cancelling. My sister in law Melody, who lives here in town, said, "Laura, don't cancel. Norm LOVED a party and I REALLY need a drink." (Who can argue with that?)
As my husband is currently overseas and will not return for awhile, it is actually comforting to me that dear, dear friends will surround me this evening.
You are among the dearest. I have to say that I have been absolutely overwhelmed with the love and support shown to me by my friends in the blogging community. So please join in the celebration of another year of life. It is so very precious.
For this Marie Antoinette themed birthday the invitation features a favorite image of the queen painted by one of my favorite artists, Elisabeth Vigee LeBrun. It aptly states: "Let them eat cake."
The inside reads: The Duchess of Decor
summons you to court for an evening of enchantment and merrymaking
to mark the occasion of her ladyships 40th birthday.
Wednesday, the twentieth of August, two thousand and eight.
Dinner shall commence at half after six.
The royal procession shall then journey to The Shout! House where the ladies shall attempt to lose their heads.
Lace, pearls and other frippery are highly encouraged.
On the back of the card are directions to Chateau Gunn (which I would rather not disclose on the internet) and provides instruction that "Men, small children, beasts and those bearing gifts are most unwelcome. Those making their presence known shall be locked in the stocks."
So, select your gown and perhaps a pair of slippers.
Is red your color? This frock is quite fetching.
Perhaps a pink or aqua gown would suit you?
Don't you just adore these slippers from Fete et fleur?
I am turning 40~ let us celebrate with a Marie Antoinette themed party.
The table is dressed with a matelasse cloth covered in roses, candy, confetti and images of the queen. Crystal candlesticks are dripping with jewels. At each setting is a collection of antique silver and china topped with a vintage handkerchief to be used as a napkin. In the center of the napkin is a ring fit for such regal guests.
A favor was placed to the left of each place setting and includes a string of pearls, candy, and confetti.
Bathroom tissue rolls have never looked so fine!
I have also made some blue and pink nut cups inspired by Andrea.
You can't have a party without cupcakes. These are from Sprinkles. I made the toppers from images of the queen printed on card stock. A toothpick was glued between two back to back circles.
Our ladies in waiting are Alyssa and Hannah. They shall be serving a dinner of french onion soup, salad with french dressing, cordon bleu, green bean almondine and scalloped potatoes.
Although the invitation instructed that "Men, children and beasts are most unwelcome…" perhaps we can make an exception for my darling court jester, Rudi.
Touches of the queen can be found in every room in the house.
Even the ladies in waiting have a special table just for them in the kitchen.
Of course Marie Antoinette is playing on the big screen tv. The movie is muted though while music from various French artists is piped through the surround sound for total ambiance.
My daughter, a fashion design student has created my look. She says it is Modern Day Marie.
I've set up an area where each guest will have her portrait made.
I hope that you had a good time! Don't forget your parting favor.
It is a rose scented candle with an image of Marie Antoinette. The round fleur de lis tag reads "Merci" on the back.
The back of the candle includes the famous quote: "Let them eat cake!"

Following the traditional Cutting of the Ivy ceremony at Seattle Pacific University, Charity Bilyeu playfully tries out her piece as a mustache. She received a bachelor's degree in interior design. The "Ivy Cutting" is an annual ceremony at Tiffany Loop on campus celebrated since 1922 and represents cutting the students' ties to the university and the independence following graduation. "It's all about saying you have been a part of our circle at SPU...and it's time to cut you loose and send you off with our blessing, love and encouragement...to make the world a better place," said one of the speakers.

Hi all. I'd like to mosaic a boot and use it as a planter. I filled it with concrete, but water still seeps through the bottom. What should I use to seal it? It doesn't have to be pretty because it will be inside the boot, it just needs to retain water. Thanks. |

PHIS: Haven't answered this cuz I don't know. What kind of boot? A picture w/help. Don't quite understand - planter - filled w/concrete - hold water? |
Need more info . . . have you already completely filled the inside of the boot? Must not have, because there must still be a cavity inside where the plant will be. If not, I had a thought. Find a glass vase that will fit inside the boot. Fill the boot part way with concrete. Squish the glass vase down inside the boot while the concrete is still wet, and discard what oozes up to the top. Hope that makes sense. |
edges with concrete. But that is only like 1/2 inch all the way around, so there is still a large opening in the boot. It's a short boot, like ankle height. I like silvamae's idea of adding more fresh concrete and squishing a vase into that. |

"America has the most progressive tax structure in the world of modern countries. Yet the left is still wanting to tax the job creators even more……………………how stupid.
Quit spending other people money!"
~ Book of Faces status of a wingnut who believes that asking rich people to pay their fair share (not MORE, but their FAIR SHARE) is "class warfare" and liberal economic terrorism.
Have a seat over here………..Elizabeth Warren wants to talk to you:
"There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there—good for you! But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that maurauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory, and hire someone to protect against this, because of the work the rest of us did."
And so does Stephen Colbert:
And from his "The Word" segment:
"Michele Bachmann is right. Everyone needs to contribute, because we all benefit from the government programs she has promised to eliminate on Day 1. (Day 2: Blink)
So, just how do these freeloaders dodge federal income taxes? Well, it turns out half of them don't pay simply because they make less than $20,000 a year. That's right. They are living the good life in their cushy jobs as fry cooks, Walmart greeters, and slaughterhouse floor grate de-brainers. "Oh look at me, I have my own apron!"
And before you cry for the poor, remember, 90% of soup kitchens reported increased demand over the last year. That's right. The so-called "poor" have special kitchens just for soup! So save your tears, folks. (Makes Excellent Soup Stock)
And it's not just low-income workers, because over 20% of these Mooch-Americans are elderly people enjoying tax-free Social Security benefits, money they use to fuel their decadent lifestyles sitting around the house taking drugs all day. (Getting Their Plavix On!)
And I believe that we cannot stop at the elderly and the working poor. We must also tax everyone who's found the ultimate loophole in our income tax code: having no income. Just because you're one of the 16.6 million unemployed Americans doesn't mean you can't pull your weight. That's why God gave you two kidneys. (Cry Me A Liver)
And those who say, oh you're going to tax the poor to death, I say death is no excuse for not paying their share. (Can't Worm Your Way Out Of It) I mean, just think of these lazy bones lying on their backs all day in their fancy satin boxes. Hey, I don't know about you, but my bed doesn't have a lid. (But Does Have Racecar Wheels)
So folks, let's not just broaden the tax base. I say, we need to deepen the tax base. And let's force these Cadaverican-Americans to pay, in the forms of rings, watches, and whatever else we can pry from their cold dead hands. (Leave The Guns!) That is not grave robbing. It's grave sharing. Because to solve the deficit, we have no choice but to tax the working poor, the non-working poor, and the non-living poor. Otherwise we might have to consider raising taxes on the wealthy. (Over Their Dead Bodies)
And that's the Wørd. We'll be right back."
~ Stephen Colbert (transciption via Daily Kos)
In an alternate universe I would SO totally be Stephen Colbert's babymomma.

Capitalizing On HD Content Delivery
Delivering customized, targeted high-definition video content ? programming and advertising ? to audiences all over the world is the mission of the new Managed Media Services division recently launched by Minneapolis-based AV integrator, manufacturer, and service company Electrosonic Systems Inc.
The result is a fusion of content and vehicle, offering advertisers the opportunity to route high definition messages to individual displays or groups of displays all over the world, including options far beyond the usual plasma screens in public spaces. Settings for viewing these messages can range from retail stores to airport concourses, and displays can be individually scheduled to reflect local interests, marketing priorities, and time constraints.
"We have a wonderful system for putting ads up on the sides of buildings, or anywhere that people congregate. If you have any group of people who want to get a message across, we have everything they need from the content to the equipment."
Launching the effort was a major commitment. "The threshold to get into this on a serious level is many millions of dollars over a long period of time," Mayberry says. The largest cost is talent, he adds — top people to handle software development, engineering, project management, and similar tasks. "We have the most eclectic group of people here," Mayberry says. "We even compose our own music."
It took about six months to get the new service into operation, he adds. It wouldn't have been possible, though, if Electrosonic hadn't already had many of its critical elements in its arsenal.
"We have a media content group that allows us to edit content and make sure it works, plus an international service group on every continent," Mayberry says. "We could put a worldwide advertising distribution system together. We already had a worldwide sales force, a video display group, and a huge operation in the U.K. People were coming to us every day to find out about digital playback options."
Electrosonic thought it was vital to move beyond conventional advertising messages on its network. "There are a lot of point-of-sale advertising systems around, even on the grocery store level," Mayberry says. "But ways to deliver content in the HD world have been very limited. If it's just advertising, people will walk away."
Hence, Managed Media Services from the beginning paid as much attention to creating quality content as to distributing it.
"Our approach is to actually be able to walk into a major retailer and say, we have a solution for you and your enterprise," Mayberry says.
Once the system is in place and functioning, he adds, the sky is the limit in terms of future uses. Although Managed Media Services has been in operation only a short time, "Our division is already generating a significant percentage of Electrosonic's revenue," Mayberry says. "I think you're going to see some very exciting things."

Even if this is true and not political maneuvering, I don't think mass adoption of Linux in China would really advance Linux (technologically).

The main Chinese distros (and Red Star) tend to just take existing Linux distros and to the minimum effort to reskin them to look like Windows. They don't contribute almost anything upstream. Nor do they seem interested in advancing any real innovation or unique distinctions. They seem just be a copy and take-and-give-nothing-back culture.
it's not the "culture" it's the politics and the government. the sad thing is that the government has so much power there. there are plenty of smart hard working folks there but they have to be careful. but more of them see what's happening and want it to change.

"Less Sentimental" New Yorkers Say No Thanks to Valentine's Day. In 1871.
New Yorkers are over Valentine's Day. They're over Valentine's parties and "anti-Valentine's" parties and buying crumbly, last-minute, guilt-trip chocolate from Duane Reade on their way home and mostly-frozen flowers from the bodega. They're too sophisticated for that dreck. Image via Vintage Fangirl NOPE.
Wait, sorry, that was 143 years ago. This year, people are getting married in Times Square with the help of Snuggle the fabric softener bear and atop the Empire State Building with sponsorship from some corporate flower conglomerate. It was your better taste-having great great great grandmother who declared that she was absolutely done with this tacky, saccharine holiday (although she did enjoy sending joke cards "out of spite").
So reported the New York Times in their February 14, 1871 edition, noting that the number of valentine cards sold and sent in the city had experienced "a considerable falling off."

Cosmos S Modded Chassis
Unfortunately, im not selling the Skulltrail system for that price though it does included the whole front panels which has two separate custom Coolermaster bay-res things, run by two DDCs which are fully working and also a small TFT which will hook up to any S-Video out.
It has a HWLabs custom made X-Flow SR-1 360 in the top an an SR-1 in the base so most current systems will bolt straight in it and i'll through in all the Bitspower fittings.
Ive basically ran out of space at home and its either i start getting rid of some past case mods or i buy another house.
Its a reluctant sale but asking asking £300 for the whole lot all boxed in its original box and sent by whatever method is preferred.
Few general day to day knocks and bangs to be expected but nothing serious and still looks as good today as it did when first done.
i usually hate cosmos cases but that one stands out above the rest, good job! bump for epicness
