Even those elementary school students who can easily read a novel often struggle when reading a social studies or science textbook. And often the problem worsens as students move into middle school.
The primary reason children struggle with this type of information-rich material is that it requires different strategies from fiction reading, strategies that are commonly overlooked in their education. Much of the reading that an average adult does over the course of a workday is non-fiction. The importance of teaching children to become proficient in this type of reading will have a major impact on how well they will fare with their reading later in life.
What can parents do to help? When children come home with a passage or chapter to read in a social studies or science textbook, you can help them before, during, and after their reading. Many children read an entire assignment, yet retain nothing, but without comprehension, they have not truly read the material. Real reading requires understanding. If children cannot tell you what they have read, they may have gone through the motions of reading without absorbing the information. Once you have identified that your child has this problem, there are several ways to help.
There are specific things that children can do before, during, and after reading. For example, not understanding some of the important words is one of the major reasons that students fail to comprehend what they have read. You can begin preparing your child to read an assignment by pre-teaching the important vocabulary that will be encountered.
Other strategies that you can teach your child are:
BEFORE READING • Browse through the headings. These give clues to the content. • Talk to your child about what he already knows about the topic. • Make a list of what he still wants to know. • Make a chart based on the major headings so that he can organize the material visually.
DURING READING • Have your child fill in the chart as he reads. List details under the appropriate categories. He can draw some of these if it will help him to remember. • Write a small summary after reading each section. This will force children to go back and reread what they didn't grasp immediately since they will be unable to summarize what they do not understand. • Give your child a pad of sticky notes. Tell him to use one whenever he gets to a part of the textbook he does not understand. This will make it easier to identify where he needs help later. • Tell your child to try to answer the questions on the list made before reading. Can he do it?
AFTER READING • Have your child talk about, write about, or draw what he read. These actions reinforce what has been read. • Re-read the organizer that was made during reading. Does it make sense? • Look back at the questions written before reading and make sure your child can answer them. If not, look back to make sure this information was not covered in the reading. • Have your child make a list of things he still wants to know about this topic. This forces him to think about what he already knows about the subject.
Patience: the most important component As a school administrator responsible for curriculum development, I know that patience is the most essential part of helping your child with reading. Reading is difficult, and non-fiction reading with many facts is the most difficult of all. Identifying the problems your child may be having with this difficult kind of reading may take time. Remember, it is difficult for your child, too. In fact, he is probably more frustrated than you.
When either you or your child become frustrated, take a break and return to the reading at another time when you both can approach it in a positive way. Setting up a negative perception of reading will create even more problems.
Remember, it may take many assignments and lots of practice to become proficient at reading difficult material. But it is a skill your child will need all through life — so investing time and patience will pay off.

Reviewed Parmesan-Crusted Pork Chops
Nov 1, 2011 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"These chops were pretty good. I thought they would be bland like other pork chop recipes I've tried, but they weren't. You should use THIN (not thick) CUT pork chops for this recipe (as I did). Also, refrigerate the chops after coating them for at least an hour BEFORE frying them. I've read other reviewers say not to use olive oil. I agree. Olive..."

I recently bought the Baker's and Chefs grill at Sam's
with the so call advertisement "updated design" and porcelain coated cast-iron. What i got is cast-iron grid instead of what was stated on the box. You can also see the specs online @ www.samsclub.com. Is that considered as false advertisement? I spoke with Grand Hall customer service manager.
Hmmm, if I wait until they have enough complaints,
Follow-Up Postings:
That is probably true, however, if I were you I would be glad that you have the cast iron and not the porcelin. The cast iron (after properly seasoned) will give you years of trouble free service. They cook better in my opinion too. The porcelin on the other hand can, and most likely will, chip in time. When it does, then you got a real problem. When cast iron and porcelin heat up and cool down, they have different expansion and contraction rates, so consequently the porcelin cracking is inevitable and I am sure that is why they discontinued the use of it. Just out of curiousity, didn't they have one on the floor for you to look at and notice the material the grates were made of? Every Sam's I have been to has the B&C model on the floor. If they did, why would you want the porcelin grates if you knew it came with cast iron? Unless you were jsut trying to get them on a technicality, just wondering. |
Sam's did have the display with the cast-iron grid. But what I want is what states on the box, a porcelain-coated cast-iron grid. Basically what they say on the box is not what they have in the box. Doesn't cast-iron grid by itself rusts? |
Not if properly seasoned. The key is, you never wash these with soap & water, you always oil them when you are done cleaning them. Don't take the shortcut of spraying "Pam" on them, it will eventually make a build up. A nice oil like Wesson is great, just use your basting brush to apply it whenever you clean them. It may seem like an extra step and people generally don't do this, and then they rust. That is why the porcelin on steel is so popular. But after it cracks, its not very fun to deal with. I think you got the better end of the deal. If you would like to learn how to season your grates properly go to: http://www.dutchovencookware.com/lodge-cookware.html good luck. |
I am just wondering about your statement "with all the bad rap I've been hearing about Bakers and Chefs". What bad rap is that. I am only hearing raves about their service. When I ordered my optional accessories to the Member's Mark Grill I was impressed with the knowledge and personality of the girl taking my order. Everyone says that all you need to do is tell them the trouble and they send a new part. Maybe there is another board out there that I am not acquainted with. I also agree with the other poster in that porcelain coated grids crack and then the rust starts in the cracks and it chips off. . |

Course Descriptions: Fall 2006
Intro to Communication Studies J. Lynch
This course focuses on theory and practice related to communication studies in general, and to interpersonal, small group, and public communication in particular. You will read about and discuss important ideas about how communication influences individuals and society, and you will apply those ideas in order to enhance your ability to work well with others and to improve your capacities to think critically, organize clearly, and speak effectively.

Elizabethan Lyrical Poetry J. Hibbard
Research Paper: Elizabethan Lyrical Poetry J. Hibbard
Poets during the age of Elizabeth wrote some of the most beautiful poetry in the English language, poetry that remains of great value to readers today. But besides being beautiful, the poetry shows us a great deal about human thought and emotions as we moved from the medieval to the modern world. In this class we will begin with late medieval poetry, move through the development of the sonnet, and on into the neo-classical and metaphysical poetry that together show a great deal about the dawn of the modern world. Students will keep a reader's journal and write a series of explications of short poems.
Medieval European Literature R. Dillman
Research Paper: Medieval European Literature R. Dillman
This course will involve reading, analyzing, and discussing Medieval European literature from a variety of European cultures. Class activities include presentations, discussion, critical reading and writing, and viewing films about the historical and cultural contexts of the literature. Students will write a research paper on an important aspect of Medieval European studies.
Shakespeare on Rome C. Abartis
Research Paper: Shakespeare on Rome C. Abartis
Shakespeare is considered one of the cultural treasures of the English-speaking world. Let us explore some of the riches of Shakespeare's works on our way to appreciating and, I hope, enjoying his powerful, complex, multi-layered plays. We will read, discuss, and watch two or three plays about Rome: Julius Caesar (1599), Antony and Cleopatra (1606-07), and possibly Coriolanus (1607-09).
The Vision of Islam O. Mirza
This course will provide an introduction to the intellectual tradition developed within the civilization of Islam. Our project is to engage in a close, careful reading of selected texts from Islamic thinkers, to think through the problems that these texts raise, and to use these texts to stimulate our own philosophical thinking. We will begin by making a thorough study of the history and fundamental ideas of the Islamic religion, which forms the fundamental background for all our subsequent readings, and without a knowledge of which these readings would prove very difficult. Our readings will cover such issues as: the Divine Names and Attributes in Islam; Islamic cosmology; the nature of the Sacred Law in Islam; Islamic mysticism; reason and revelation; the nature of prophecy; skepticism and the possibility of knowledge; the problem of defining what a believer is; methods of sound reasoning; and others. Students will not only learn about the Islamic intellectual tradition through this course, but will also develop their own ability to think philosophically.
American Multicultural Philosophy L. Bergin
This course explores a range of experiences of American ethnic groups, and thereby introduces the student to philosophy through culturally diverse texts. We will examine theories of knowledge, values, and reality offered by a variety of cultures within the U.S. The questions addressed will concern views of the self, human beings in relation to each other, and human beings in relation to the non-human world. In the context of these topics we will explore such issues as ethnicity and race, gender, sexuality, and class.
European Women Philosophers, Medieval to Modern D. Boyer
Pore through any standard introductory text in Western philosophy or history of philosophy published before about 1990, and the only women you'll see are mentioned in connection with the biographies of famous men: Queen Christina of Sweden was a sponsor and pupil of René Descartes; Harriet Taylor had a long-standing romantic and intellectual connection with John Stuart Mill, and later married him. And yet many of those same women, and others besides were philosophers in their own right, and during this time women participated increasingly in intellectual circles, albeit restricted by unequal education and by lack of opportunities to publish and receive patronage, that is, to take part on an equal footing with men in what's sometimes called the centuries-long, Great Conversation. Now that scholars are taking a renewed look, it turns out that the Missing Women Philosophers weren't really hidden away very deeply at all.
You will be invited to wrestle with questions about them: What difference might it have made if women had participated more in northern and southern European venues? What is meant by the terms "medieval" and "modern" philosophy? What changes came about during the long transition from Hildegard of Bingen to Harriet Taylor Mill? And finally, what is philosophy, anyhow? Am I a philosopher? And is that a bad thing?
Europe and the Other: Explorations of the Colonial Mentality L. Splittgerber, T. Gardner, G. John
This interdisciplinary course explores European encounters with the Other in the age of European exploration and colonization from a variety of perspectives. The concept of the Other refers to peoples that seem alien and which may be classified as "not human" by a dominant group in order to justify shocking and prejudicial treatment of them. In addition to exploring the European point of view, we'll look at topics including the "discovery" of America, slavery, genocide, as well as "native" peoples and colonialism; all informed by theories of alterity. For example, we'll read Aztec pictographs to understand their perceptions of the Spanish arrival, and learn how European exploration and expansion affected people all over the world. We will examine what early maps reveal and look closely at how the Colonial mentality spread during the Early Modern period. We will also examine how reactions to the Other carry through to the present day. Finally, we'll explore syncretism, the phenomenon in which Others' cultures are assimilated into European rites, art, music, food, etc. This course will have a unique seminar format. It will incorporate guest speakers from many disciplines and panel discussions about how those disciplines interconnect. Guest speakers from fields such Art History, Music, Ethnic Studies, Religion, Geography (cultural and cartographic,) Literature, Film Studies, GLBT, History, Anthropology, Sociology, Psychology and Philosophy will present perspectives from their disciplines.
Technology and Third World Development A. Akubue
This course is about the role of technology in socioeconomic development in developing countries. It attempts to explain why some countries (Western and Japan) are developed and others are not. It identifies obstacles preventing Third World countries from effectively using available technology to foster socioeconomic development. Content includes identifying the Third World, development strategies used, the transfer of technology, the integration of appropriate technology as a necessary ingredient for Third World development, and how and who technology and the development process affect women and girls the way they do. It is a lecture and discussion class, requiring students to do reviews of articles and identify a Third World country of their choice to research and offer solution to prevailing social, economic, and environmental problems.
Women in U.S. Politics J. Olsen
This course will examine the facts about women in political roles, as well as address the social, cultural, political and power dynamics of women in elected office in the U.S. Included will be an analysis of the demographics and faces of women in politics over the last 30 years, how women in elected office are portrayed by the media and perceived by the public, and how the power bases of women in office compare to men in elected office. We will study the actual careers of women in U.S. politics, the gender gap in terms of voting, and the ways that policy outcomes and political issues differently affect women and men. Through class discussions, readings, guest speakers, group work, research and special projects, students will become familiar with women as political actors, the political realities for women in elected office and other political roles, and additional interesting information about women in politics as decided and presented by students in the class.
Art and the Artist in Cinema P. Costaglioli
Art has always played a crucial role in the development of human civilizations: aesthetically, philosophically, culturally, historically, and politically. Likewise in diverse cultures and in historical periods, the artist has gained an iconic status: adored, respected, marginalized, sometimes even despised and cursed. He or she may appear as an enigmatic, disruptive and as a revelatory social force.
This class will explore how cinema and some of its greatest artists have captured the essence of the artistic experience as well as the image and the soul of the artist. Through a selection of films by influential directors from all over the world, the following art forms will be represented: painting, literature, poetry, music, dance, theater and of course cinema.
Sport Law J. Kramer
Sports law students will learn about many specialized areas of law that have general application outside the sports industry. Topics may include Title IX gender discrimination, federal disability discrimination laws, the legal characterization of college athletes, regulatory authority of the NCAA, antitrust law, trademark and unfair competition law, collective bargaining agreements, stadium and arena financing, constitutional law, tort law, contracts, and drug testing and related sanctions. The class will focus on United States Supreme Court decisions as well as rulings of other state and federal courts.

Psychology of Gifted Women Z. Rockenstein
While gifted women make up 50% of individuals with high intellectual potential and ability, they are seriously underrepresented in positions of power and authority. Research on gifted women indicates that they face both internal and external barriers to the fulfillment of their potential. The ambitious dual purpose of this course is: 1) to examine barriers to achievement in women and 2) to overcome them. Students will explore the lives of gifted women from both historical and psychological perspectives. Students will examine the results of longitudinal studies of gifted women to identify characteristics that apply to their own lives. A Life Dream Project will help you to both analyze your goals and to assess your progress toward achieving them. If you have ever denied that you were gifted, thinking of yourself as merely an "overachiever", this course is definitely for you!
ENGL 203 online
An alternative for HONS 243 or 303, available Summer 2006 (C. Perry), Fall 2006 (S. Engel), and Spring 2007 (S. Engel)
In Summer 2006, HONS 198 will not be available with this course. Contact Connie Perry for information about the course content.
In Fall 2006 and Spring 2007, please contact Susan Engel (see below) about adding HONS 198.
The following is a description of the course offered as by Ms. Engel.
Gender Issues in Literature (Diversity/Gender)
Explore gender issues in literature through online discussion and essay postings in HONS 243/English 203. Current reading selections include four novels and one play. Literary depiction of relationships in Ann Patchett's novel Bel Canto, female circumcision in Alice Walker's novel Possessing the Secret of Joy, homosexuality in Paul Monette's memoir Becoming a Man, multiple gender roles in Michael Cunningham's novel The Hours, and domestic relationships in the 1800s in Henrik Ibsen's drama A Doll's House are examined.
Reading selections vary slightly each semester. In Fall 2006, readings may be adapted for a closer fit to the question of modernity raised in the Elizabethan Honors course group.
Honors students must identify themselves to the instructor and must complete an Honors component to fulfill Honors credit through this course. An Honors link is found within the course content online for English 203. Fulfillment of the one-credit HONS 198 can also be facilitated through this instructor's class.
To register via SCSU's online registration, choose ENGL 203, section 54. Contact Susan Engel at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 320.308.3916 with questions. Note: A technology fee of $60 (the fee may increase) is added to tuition for English 203 online.
1-credit, stand-alone research paper on Jewish Literature
Normally, we offer HONS 198 only in conjunction with a 3-credit Honors comp or lit class, making a 4-credit combination. But this is an unusual opportunity to offer an engaging research paper project centered around a book discussion series that will also involve faculty, staff, and community members. You could then take your Honors lit or comp for just the standard 3 credits from another teacher on another topic, maybe even a different semester. This option will be especially useful for students who have transferred in "English I" or "ENGL 100" and still need the HONS 198 to top off those transfer credits.
The book discussions will take place on a series of Thursdays, 4:00-5:30 p.m. HONS 198 students will meet with the instructor some additional hours to work on the research paper. We'll email details to the class list by HuskyNet email (which you'll sign up for today). For now, please leave Thursday open after 4:00, and add the class later.
The theme of the series is "Between Two Worlds: Stories of Estrangement and Homecoming." The books and dates are:
- Lost in Translation by Eva Hoffman, Sept. 14
- Mr. Sammler's Planet by Saul Bellow, Oct. 5
- Out of Egypt by André Aciman, Oct. 26
- The Centaur in the Garden by Moacyr Scliar, Nov. 16
- Kaaterskill Falls by Allegra Goodman, Dec. 27
The book series is sponsored by Nextbook, the American Library Association, and the SCSU Jewish Studies Program. I have some brief descriptions of the books with me, if you'd like to find out a bit more. (David B.)
Talk-story and Technology: You, Your Story, and the iPod you Rode In On
The course works on the premise that knowledge is infinite and that each participant brings with her or him a wealth of experience and knowledge that can only be shared through narrative / story. The question and opportunity for the instructor is to help the student (and him or herself) identify the relevance of the story to the pursuit of further knowledge and understanding in the universe of the University. The question being examined is the place and function of story / narrative itself in which "technology" has come to define the medium in which the story is told. How can we acknowledge, know, and adapt ourselves to the technology at the same time that we seek to adapt and use the technology to tell our story? De te fabula narrator –Of you the story is told. (Horace, Satires book 1, 35 B.C.E.)
Militant Feminism and Women Warriors: Taking Liberty
The course will be structured around a process of critical engagement following Paulo Freire's work. We start with the identification of the "limit situation" or the naming of the conditions under which feminism is defined and, to some degree contained. We will then examine and identify four or five "women warriors" who do not necessarily self-identify as feminists – either from historic precedent, i.e. the term did not exist, or from a commitment to action that transcends the characterization contained within a label. We take liberties with definitions by naming "militant" as assertive and dedicated and "warriors" as determined defenders of rights. We also "take liberty" when freedom fairness and opportunity are denied...we take it because it is not given. Freedom is not a gift, liberty is not a given, and feminism is an ongoing struggle for social justice.

Last week, I participated in the NASVF Annual Conference in Oklahoma City where experts discussed again how to ensure that credit crunches do not negatively impact start-up performance. The good news is that those gathering at this conference started from a common appreciation that entrepreneurship cannot be on the sidelines of economic and financial policy.
If you have ever been around somebody trying to start or grow a business, you know that entrepreneurs don't have time for much else, especially not for going to Washington to help keep policymakers up to date on how to encourage high growth entrepreneurship in America—not hurt it.

The Doing Business 2010 report highlighted how the financial crisis has prompted governments to act in areas where regulatory reform may be more difficult and require more time. The report states that in times of recession, "the more quickly the assets of nonviable firms can be freed up, the easier it is to remobilize those assets." While the U.S. remained ranked 4th in the 2010 ease of doing business list compared to its 2009 rank, other countries have implemented several reforms that improved their ranking. How has the EU fared?
Ahead of the Senate Finance Committee's long-awaited vote on its health care bill, I thought it would be helpful to once more comment on its effect on our entrepreneurs. The status quo in healthcare undermines entrepreneurship: small businesses are paying a higher cost to offer health insurance to their employees because of the smaller size of their workforce and the lack of competition in the small group market. Some entrepreneurs are dropping this benefit entirely not because they don't want to provide insurance to their employees, but because the survival of their startups requires it. According to one estimate, 52 percent of workers in businesses with less than 50 employees were uninsured or underinsured during 2007. Even worse, many potential entrepreneurs and the talent they need to launch their ventures feel trapped in jobs that offer affordable health coverage for themselves and their families.
I have always liked the story of the CEO who sends two shoe salesmen to Africa. When they report back, one says "Bad news, they don't wear shoes here". The other reports excitedly "Wonderful news boss, they have no shoes".
Not too long ago, entrepreneurship education was part of the curriculum of few university programs across the country. In 2003, the Kauffman Campuses initiative started to help seed cross-campus entrepreneurship programs at dozens of American universities, thereby allowing more young people to explore their entrepreneurial potential. Other universities have since moved in the same direction, bringing entrepreneurship education into the mainstream of learning by offering entrepreneurship courses and sponsoring extra-curricular activities, such as business plan competitions. Other institutions, like MIT, have gone even further by helping student scientists commercialize innovations.
If you often find yourself quietly thinking "I know a better way to do this" or "I could create something new that would make this easier for everyone," you are a potential entrepreneur. Don't waste that potential. The economy needs you more than ever.
The record number of pro-entrepreneurship legal and regulatory reforms in the past year among the economies studied by the World Bank's Doing Business project is welcome news during a time of global economic recession. Prioritizing reforms and learning from global best practices hold enormous potential to unleash entrepreneurship. To maximize this potential, leaders must also promote a culture that embraces entrepreneurship.
Welcome to Global Entrepreneurship Week. Throughout this week, I will be reporting in from entrepreneurship policy events around the world. Global Entrepreneurship Week is engaging more than four million participants in 887 countries exploring new venture creation as a career path through mentoring activities, business plan competitions, networking events and other fun activities. It offers an extraordinary demonstration to policymakers that there is a new wave of entrepreneurialism before us and if we want to build economies and make jobs, they must quickly create the most favorable environment possible.

I received this from a lovely MUAer. It is a gorgeous fruity scent that really does remind me of warm brown sugar. There is something in this fragrance that i have smelt in another perfume. Not sure which one but it is very familar. What i love about this is that even though it lingers on clothes it never gets cloying. This scent is so true to its name.

I love this scent! I keep trying new things, I am currently on a Ricci Ricci by Nina Ricci obsession phase haha, but I keep coming back to this.
I agree that it is more of a winter scent but I still wear it at night year round. It is so affordable as well. It looks kind of cheap in the bottle but for the price I don't mind. I absolutely love this scent! I will not be without it.
It is strong and a little goes a long way. That being said, something about the smell is just delicious. So many people recognize it as well. Can't rave enough about this.

Won a 2.7 oz bottle of this in a magazine contest, woo!
Wet: A bit fruity, but spicy and warm.
Dry: The fruity note is still the most obvious scent on my skin, but there's a lovely amber/sugar-y scent underneath.
Dry (a few hours later): Smells a bit like burnt/caramelized sugar and amber, the fruit note is barely detectable. Still yummy, but not in the way the initial scent was. A little let down, but it's not the end of the world, since the scent is still quite nice.
In all, it's a good warn winter scent, and quite cheap at that, but it's nothing extraordinary.

I usually avoid BBW beyond candles and aromatherapy stuff and I've always liked this in the candle version so when I got it as a gift I was pleasantly surprised. It is a very nice scent . . . . especially for BBW. Decent dupe for VR Flowerbomb. I will not likely repurchase as I'm still not inclined to do BBW fragrances, but would accept this as a gift again.

I bought this earlier in December for 15 dollars, B&B was having a lovely sale as usual. I sniffed through every bottle, and this one caught my nose the best. I've never been so in love with a scent, especially one that's so far out of my taste (I love escada, and fruity scents, etc!)
I need to buy the body mist one day, so I can have it on the go. It lasts pretty long, and the scent is a friendly linger. All in all, I wish it lasted longer, because it could. But, I wear it everyday, and although it's a winter type scent, I'd do it in the summer too. It's that great.

This is my everyday go to for fall & winter staple fragrance! I have over 30 perfumes and I wear this one the most. I love the deep, creamy, sophisticated scent. The price isn't too bad either. I will definatley repurchse once I run out.

I bought this when I met the woman who created it! After our meeting (long story) I stopped into a Bath and Body Works store and tried it on. It is fabulous! Not cloying at all, like some ambers can be. It is a very original take on Amber/Oriental. The price is right too.
I'm so proud of my friend and can't wait to see what she creates next!

Here's some background: I showed up at the hospital to be induced into labor. All the beds were full, so the nurses asked my husband and I to take a quick jaunt to the nearby mall while another bed was freed, and I'm so glad that happened.
I'm a gourmand perfume wearer - I enjoy just about anything that smells like a baked good. However, the only scent I wear from BBW is Vanilla Bean Noel because Warm Vanilla Sugar smells a little too much like rubbing alcohol for my taste, and leaves me with a headache.
The Husband and I weren't planning on buying anything, but there was a great sale on candles in the store, so we stopped in. I noticed Sensual Amber on the shelf and took a whiff. I'm not the type to use bombastic phrasing, but it blew me away. I bought an EDT and two body splashes right then.
Better than a year later, I still adore this scent. And I've finally come to the conclusion that a woman pushing 30 probably shouldn't wear foodie-type perfume anymore. I've read women here who say they only wear it during fall and winter, but I disregard that rule. The scent makes me feel like woman, and has won me over to woody/oriental perfumes. I honestly can't say enough about Sensual Amber other than I've replaced Estee Lauder's Pleasures Delight with it my as signature scent.

The whole Sensual Amber line is great. It's definitely what I would describe as sensual, sexy, mature, and warm.
More reviews by UltraPremiumDeluxe
This is a very sexy scent, and the EDT is a good formula. It's great for fall & winter since it's so warm. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because the smell can get very cloying and overwhelming if you use too much, and you lose the more delicate notes that you can detect in lighter doses of it. Use sparingly!

Artist Gabey Tjon a Tham has released the Repetition At My Distance installation. The towering blue structure reacts to sounds bites, reverberating in turn via the vibrations of the cascading waves.
Repetition At My Distance is set to the tune of blowing wind. The strings of light become more and more intense with the passage of the air, picking up with speed and size as the recorded song plays on a wheel.
Tham hopes to above all else engage the minds of viewers, "the perceiver is reverted to a process of reflection on its own thoughts, memories and dreams." And indeed, as the patterns of light persist, spectators conjure up profound states of mind that may not have been otherwise triggered.

I never thought Stephen Harper could look any more stupid than he already did, and then they put him in a picture with Dr. Hawking.
Hey like... can we elect that guy to run the country? I mean at least he actually understands that conservation and sustainability mean more than just being sneaky about letting big oil companies get away with ecological murder (as they did with simco and the recent cancelation of tar sand leakage into watersheds study.)

Ukrainian Heptathlon Olympic champion Natalya Dobrynska won her final meet of the season on 19-20 September in Talence. Dobrynska is now putting her spikes away for a while to take part in the Ukrainian sequel of the famous TV project "Dancing for you".
"Hi all,
"I'm just back from France, and right now I can enjoy my vacation! It feels great, like when you've done everything you could and you wanted to. I'm sure I do deserve some rest after the final victory of the season!
"Usually by the final meet you feel kind of exhausted. It's always hard to focus after the main start of the season is over, especially if this main start was a success. Sadly, with the 4th place at the World Champs, this year it's not my case… But from the other side, I did not feel exhausted in Talence and had plenty of motivation to prove that I'm still strong. I did not show what I really could in Berlin. I was determined to show this at least in Talence. I was that focused that I didn't even feel tired.
"When it's your last event of the season, you can give everything you have. There are no excuses like when you're getting ready for other meets, trying to peak your shape etc. Just give what you have, and that's it! I was repeating these words to myself all the way in Talence, especially during the last 800m. I am quite satisfied with myself that I managed to stand it all.
"I had two good days, with season bests in the shot put (16.48m) and high jump (1.86m), and also a very good result 2:13.07 in the 800m. I missed my PB by just a few hundredths. That was a very nice surprise that I was still capable of fast times, it's fantastic! I was second before the 800m, but losing only 0,4 to Yosypenko, so that was not critical. But I still tried to run my maximum speed, because you never know – maybe someone from behind could have accelerated. I gave all I had, produced a fast time and ended my season with a victory… Well, I've got some reasons to be proud of myself.
"This season went out kind of controversial. I won all my meets, but for one, and the most important one – in Berlin. I can't say that I am disappointed with the season because it's not right to think so when you are winning meets like Gotzis or Talence. I think in life everything can happen. I'll do my best so that the Berlin defeat doesn't overshadow my future career. We analyzed everything with my coach, made our conclusions, and now it's all over. It makes no sense to dwell on it again and again. I will just turn the page and go further. Overall, I had quite a good season. This final victory really helped to feel self-satisfaction and look to the future with a smile.
"What I enjoy now is freedom! You can never feel free when the season is on the way, but now I can finally do only what I want to do. To be honest, what I want to do now is dance! I am taking part in the Ukrainian project called "Dancing for you". It's a sequel of the famous project when people from show business or sports dance in pairs with professional dancers. It's a completely new experience for me, and it's amazing!
"We have nine duets and nine weeks in the project. Every week one duet will be eliminated by people's vote. It's all fair, even I don't know when the project is going to finish for me. Everything depends on the voting. My debut is already on Saturday, and what makes me nervous it's being broadcasted live!
"I'm not the only athlete to take part, there are also our famous rhythmic gymnast Anna Bessonova and figure skater Ruslan Goncharov. But you know, their situation is much different from mine. Their sports in this or that way still involve dancing, while I can't say the same about athletics! I never had dancing lessons even when I was a kid. I am learning everything from the very beginning, and it's so very interesting!
"I started dancing some days after I returned from Berlin. I usually had my athletics workout in the morning, and after lunch went to the dancing lesson. As my coach was joking, it was even good, as I was moving here and there all day long, no time to lie on the sofa! Generally I love to study, I love to discover something new. And with dancing, it has always been my small dream to learn how to dance nicely. Now I feel like my dream is coming true.
"Our first dance is on the modern music, "Un-break my heart" by Tony Braxton. It's so very beautiful and romantic, and I like what we managed to prepare. Ok, I have to admit there is a problem with my plastics, but I hope nobody is going to notice!
"As you could have guessed, the indoor season is now not the main point on my agenda. No, theoretically I'd like to compete indoors. Moreover there is the World Championships this year. But it will depend on many factors, first of all when I'm going to be eliminated from the dancing project.
"You know, in the last five years I did not miss a single season. I was always there, training and fighting for my place under the sun. It's really hard for the body, and now I feel like I need some rest. After dancing is over, I'd like to go with my husband for a small vacation. I have not yet decided where exactly, but my dream is Paris. I remember I once competed there in Bercy, and the city was so beautiful. Back then I did not have enough time for sightseeing, but now I want to explore it all over. And of course, it wouldn't be complete without shopping!

Outfield Should be Area of Big Met Improvement in 2014
The New York Mets opened the 2013 season with a centerfield platoon of Colin Cowgill and Jordany Valdespin.
Whatever else there might be to critique about this 2014 Mets edition one week before the start of the season, it's safe to say that their outfield situation looks a whole lot healthier now than it did a year ago.
In fact, right now there are four legitimate candidates for three spots. One of those starting spots is definitely going to belong to free agent signee Curtis Granderson. While it might be too much to expect Granderson to return to his 40-plus home run production in 2011 and 2012 without the benefit of Yankee Stadium's tiny right field porch as a target, the Mets do hope Granderson can account for 25 home runs this season.
With Granderson in right field, the other two spots are coming right down to the wire with Eric Young Jr., Chris Young (no relation) and Juan Lagares in the running. And the operative word there is "running." All three of those candidates have legitimate speed. Eric Young Jr. was the National League stolen base leader in 2013 and is, by far, the most qualified leadoff hitter the Mets have on their roster, even if he could walk a bit more than he does. Chris Young has seen his offensive numbers decline each year for the last three (down to .200 with 12 HR last year), but the former Oakland Athletic has had a very good spring, generating some hope that he could return to the 20-home run, .250 batting average output that was his norm.
And then there is Lagares, who is so brilliant defensively that he's valuable even if he can just hit .250 with a little power and a .310 on-base percentage. Yes, the sophomore is really that good with the glove. Lagares might be the best defensive center fielder in the National League—that is, if he doesn't open the season in the Pacific Coast League in Triple-A instead. Lagares has also swung a respectable bat this spring, in addition to making one or two breathtaking plays in center in seemingly every spring game the Mets have televised this spring.
The Mets' outfield situation appears so much better now that perpetual "four-A" prospects Matt den Dekker and Kirk Nieuwenhuis almost loom at nonentities who seem almost destined to begin the season at Triple-A Las Vegas this year.

A local zoo celebrates a big honor, two years in the making.
The Charles Paddock Zoo in Atascadero has been accredited through 2014.
That means it met, or exceeded animal care standards set by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, or AZA.
However that is not the only thing generating excitement.
The zoo is also making some changes so it can better serve the public.
"Right now our focus is on our new front entrance and ticket booth, a gift shop area, there will be a small food service, we also have installed new public restrooms so that will make it easier for us to service our school groups," said Alan Baker, the zoo's director.
AZA-accredited zoos often have increased eligibility for grants.
Fewer than 10 percent of the animal exhibitors licensed in the U.S. receive the recognition.

Without a very sensitive test one would never even be able to find them. Since apples are not grown from seed and since seeds are slightly toxic and should not be eaten, this is a non-event. The precedent for Organic is that any unintentional synthetic pesticide residue is not grounds for losing certification. I don't see why that would not be the rule here as well.
The gene silencing method used with these apples is a mechanism which is common for natural gene regulation. Far more genes are "off" than on in any eukaryotic cells. I believe that consumers who know that biotech crops are perfectly safe should have the opportunity to try these apples. The US has not imitated the Europeans.
We do not let politics and scaremongering trump science. There have been dozens of independent, long-term feeding studies that have demonstrated the safety of biotech crops. I believe that it is unfortunate that some in the apple industry have swiftly taken the stance that they don't want the trouble of having this option. I understand their concerns, but I don't believe that it is ever a good idea to give in to anti-science voices. I am confident that the USDA will continue its adherence to sound science when making this decision.
It is interesting to note that apple industry opposition to the Arctic apple draws notice from both camps. In pursuit of a definitive pulse of the broader industry on this issue, I ask a simple question to readers. Should the USDA approve the GMO Arctic apple?
Vote and join the conversation on the topic both in this space and the Fresh Produce Industry Discussion Group.

I got this lavender gel as part of a gift box that Boots were selling and it was in my cupboard for ages before I tried it. I put it on my temples, frown lines and under my nose at bedtime. I had the best night's sleep in ages, dropping off straight away and sleeping solidly until morning. I recommend this gel to anyone who has trouble getting off to sleep.
Great lavender scent. It is cooling and relaxing. As with all the Boots botanics, it has real lavender essential oil and is so much better than other lavender products other companies make (with the exception of L'occitane who has exceptional lavender products but nothing like this). Unfortunately this item is not available in the US and Boots will not ship items from their website to the US. Stock up when in the UK.
This stuff is such a litle gem to have and so useful. I bought it initially because I love lavender in aromatherapy applications and thought it would be useful to have around. It is good for sunburn as it is very cooling (as named!) and takes the heat out of it. Also good on burns from my straighteners and a little on the temple relieves tension headaches. It comes in a medium sized tube of 50ml which lasts forever - at only £3.99 its a steal! It can be bought online.
I find it most useful for when my skin is breaking out in spots and I mix a little in with my moisturiser. It is antibacterial and helps to heal problems quicker but is gentle at the same time. If its really bad, a drop of tea tree oil works well with it too. Being in a gel base it is easy to apply and sinks in fast. When used on my face it leaves a matt finish and doesn't produce shine later. Its not going to get rid of acne though.
However, the smell is very lavender scented, so anyone who hates it is not going to love this product. Also please be aware that it is an aromatherapy product and contains real lavender oil (not just a perfume). Having said that, the quantities of oil are not going to be terribly high but just be careful not to apply too close to the eyes.

One of the more traditional groom responsibilities is making arrangements for the honeymoon. At the risk of being repetitious, we must urge you (again) to consult your fiancee. Nothing will spoil a fairy-tale wedding faster than a honeymoon that's only good for half of the honeymooners, says Shandon Fowler, author of "The Groom's Instruction Manual," published by Quirk Books.
Even if you've traveled to more cities than US Air, you've probably never experienced a trip quite like a honeymoon. This is not just another 7- or 10-day vacation. Keep these pointers in mind:
Consult friends, family and the Internet. You may not want to copy somebody else's honeymoon exactly, but you can certainly look to others for inspiration. Then hit up your old friend the web and see which lovely locale is cheapest and/or most practical for the dates you'll be traveling.
No surprises. Unless your track record with your fiancee is flawless, don't try your luck on your honeymoon. A weeklong surprise that isn't received well on day one will make days two through whenever downright miserable.
Know what you want. And by that we really mean "know what your fiancee wants." You may have grand plans for a golf vacation or an outdoor adventure, but if the brand-new missus isn't down with that, you are heading for disaster.
Don't invite anyone else. This should be obvious, but to a surprising number of people, it's not. Your honeymoon is for you and your fiancee, period. Solitude is the reward you get for making it through the engagement and wedding, so don't mess it up by thinking that a double dating trip or family-vacation-slash- honeymoon can yield the same benefits.
Know your maximum and minimum. Some people can lie on a beach until retirement. Others get antsy after four days. Know how long you and your wife can survive being away from it all. On the flipside, don't be so brief that you barely have time to take off your shoes. Three days is usually a good minimum — longer than a weekend, shorter than can cause problems if real life is anxiously awaiting your return.
Embrace the cliché. You may have an irresistible urge to avoid other newlyweds on your honeymoon, and perhaps that's why you're ruling out tropical islands and mountain getaways. Just remember that your wedding is a big, chaotic event, and you might not wish to follow it up by visiting a big, chaotic city.
Know your spending limit. As with everything else for this event, the honeymoon is going to set you back some scratch, so figure out what you have to spend and plan accordingly.
Make sure people know you're on a honeymoon. Many hotels and resorts exist to service honeymooners. So as you're making reservations, don't be shy about telling people it's for your honeymoon. Some may provide chilled champagne, upgraded accommodations, or simply fresh flowers.
Do something, do anything. If you're thinking of postponing the honeymoon, you still must make plans to get away for a few days immediately after the wedding. A family cabin, a bed and breakfast, a motel with a pool that's 10 miles from your house — whatever it is, go there and get acquainted with your new life companion.

Facts about Tiffie
- Breed: Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: White - With Brown Or Chocolate
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
My name is Tiffie!
Tiffie's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Tiffie is a female young adult Bull Terrie mix who weighs around 40 lbs. She was surrendered to animal control by her owner during her advanced preganancy. Tiffie was rescued on the day she was scheduled to be put to sleep. She was frail and basically the only weight she carried was her babies. Poor Tiffie was so emaciated. She gave birth to her puppies on January 29, 2013, and was a wonderful mother. All of her babies have moved on and Tiffie is still waiting to become a family member with individuals who will love and care for her. Tiffie appreciates affection from humans and gets along very well with other dogs and cats. She loves to play with her canine friends engaging in normal play activities of chase and wrestling. She loves toys and treats. She's medium energy. Tiffie is house trained and walks well on a leash. She is spayed and up to date with vaccines and deworming. Tiffie did test positive for heartworm and is receiving a monthly dosage of liquid ivermectin. I'm told there were children in the household she was surrendered from, but was given no ages of the children. She has been around a friend's 7 year old daughter briefly and did fine. Considering Tiffie's sweet personality I believe she'd do well around children who appreciate and respect animals.
If you are interested in adopting Tiffie please email Bev Menier for an adoption application at: email@example.com.

Another year of baseball has come to an end. It is sad. But with victory and defeat comes quotes. Have at!
This week we have the Giants winning the World Series, the Tigers losing the World Series, and Scott Boras being…helpful? That can't be right.
People ask you, `What's your style?' I learned a lot from all of my managers … There are so many guys I learned different things from. I sat and listened and watched and learned.
So, the Marlins hired Mike Redmond to replace Ozzie, huh? I would literally pay $1000 for Redmond to surprise everybody and make some pro-Castro comments come April. That would be the actual best. Oh, the narrative! Please make this happen, baseball Gods. It would totally make up for the 2012 Blue Jays which I can only assume was a test of some kind. Did I prove my love to you, oh vengeful Lords?

Many of my programs can't seem to access the internet?
Hi everybody, first post here So naturally it's a problem.
Most of my programs work fine (Firefox, IE8, Xfire, Halo, etc.); but a lot of the other ones can't seem to access the internet. Windows Live's setup always seems to give me that problem, plus Windows Update and McCafee (!!). I'm running the .exe's as administrators in computability mode for Vista when needed, but it's still not working. Can anybody fix this please? |

Have your checked your Firewall and made sure that it's set to let these programs through?
Are you clean from Spyware/adware and viruses? |
My System Specs |
24 Mar 2009 | #3 |
That's a very good question! I'm not too sure that I'm clean from bugs, etc.; I scanned the computer and it came out clean. However, the problem still wasn't fixed- how would I change whether my firewall(s) let them through?

mchief111, did you do a clean install of Win7 Beta, or just an upgrade?
What OS, if an upgrade, were you using? |
My System Specs |
25 Mar 2009 | #5 |
Also, I'd recommend performing another scan of your system using a tool you've never installed on this machine before - just because your current AV / AM solution says you're clean doesn't assure you that you are....it could very well be infected as well....
Also, what is your default browser, and have you adjust any permissions on any folders anywhere, or else taken ownership of any files, folders, or registry keys, or else have you perchance disabled any settings on your router (provided that you use one) that might be necessary to do this? |

25 Mar 2009 | #6 |
Well, I had Windows Vista Home Premium (6.0, Build 6001) Service Pack 1 (6001.vistasp1_gdr.080425-1930). I then installed the W7 beta from the Microsoft website (after they restored the servers :P).
My default browser is Firefox, although it would be Chrome if I could get that inprocess-plugins fix to work. I haven't toyed around with the user settings and administration allowances that I can remember, though I might have accidentally (don't have too much experience there). |

Since you are using a Beta OS, I would suggest that you wipe your system and do a clean install.
As I said in another post, our "specialized" tools don't work with Win 7. I'm quite sure there are more infections on this machine ... possibly even a data stealer Bot. We could run several more scanning tools, that won't 'fix' anything, but it would be a waste of time for both of us at this point. When you have "clean" installed Win 7, I would suggest that you get an Antivirus program Such as the 'free' Avira Antivirus. SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/products.html Spyware Guard is a real-time malware scanner SpywareBlaster tutorial: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/Using_SpywareBlaster_to_protect_your_computer_from_Spyware_Hijackers_and_Malware-tut49.html SpywareGuard tutorial: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/Using_SpywareGuard_to_protect_your_computer_from_Spyware_and_Hijackers-tut50.html Some more links you might find of interest:

Follow Jacee's instructions carefully.
Also for your info, these trojans are commonly found in false CODEC downloads, mainly by users getting some media files thru P2P and then having a popup tell them they can't play/watch it wothout a certain codec, so beware from now on if this sounds like you... If a Codec pack like Shark007.net - Windows 7 Codecs doesn't have a codec to play any file, you can pretty much assume it's a possible fake and probably an infection. Of course there are other ways to get this type of infection but I've found that this is the most prevelant. |

Enlisting the help of a probate lawyer for a San Carlos, CA estate, probate or conservatorship is typically not a welcome job. Usually, when the services of probate lawyers are required, it means that the proper steps were not taken to plan for distribution of a San Carlos, CA estate before the owner passed on or became disabled. As this can be a frustrating and emotional experience, it is important to have the best team possible on your side to help you through a difficult time.
ADCL is a full-service law firm dedicated to serving their community and their clients. Unlike many other law firms, the lawyers at ADCL believe in a hands-on approach. In other words, you can trust that you will have the expertise of a partner for your probate needs instead of an associate or paralegal.
San Carlos, CA Probate Lawyers with Years of ExperienceADCL has been in business since 1949 and specializes in wills and trusts, real estate law, family law and business law, to name a few. The lawyers servicing probate in San Carlos, CA are Robert J. Lanzone and Gregory J. Rubens, both outstanding in their field.
When deciding whether or not to enlist the help of a probate attorney, it is important to determine whether or not the distribution of assets will be a simple process or whether there may be claims, disputes or tax issues surrounding real property and personal property. In general, utilizing the assistance of probate lawyers simply makes sense, as very few people understand all the steps necessary in the distribution of property in San Carlos.

You can acheive sheer euphoria when you conquer a devious boss, but experience a level of anger worthy of phone-throwing when you just can't pass that one certain level.

Is Green Getting Tired?
is just a fad and that we all need to get back to business as usual. After deep introspection, even a sustainable AV proponent can understand why people may come to feel this way. But the fact is, more and more practioners of green AV are quietly toiling away. Their experiences will demonstrate that this isn't just a fad. PRO AV's Midori Connolly explores.
We also need to prepare for standards. Over the course of the past year, a team of volunteers spent hundreds of hours developing a new set of international standards for green meetings and events. For the first time in history, AV is now a consideration when planning a green event. The first draft of standards is undergoing peer review through the Convention Industry Council's Accepted Practices Exchange. In October, the revised standards will be submitted to the ASTM International's subcommittee for sustainability, with final ASTM approval expected by December. While these standards are focused on rental and staging, they offer a solid jumping-off point for the overall industry. Who are rental and staging pros if not AV practitioners?
Recent conversations on InfoComm's Green AV online forum have centered largely on the desire for some form of standards and certification for manufacturers and their products. In an attempt to address these requests, InfoComm's Green AV Task Force and John Fuchs of the InfoComm iQ manufacturer database have teamed up to determine how to provide manufacturers with a platform for educating AV professionals on what, if anything, is green about their products and/or organizations. While not a certification of any type, it at least offers a one-to-many means for a manufacturer to communicate any steps it has taken to improve its sustainability.
Rubber, Meet Road
Taking these developments into account, I feel reassured. Progress is being made. But one nagging question remains: "Is anyone else doing anything green?" Casting around, a few silent leaders are beginning to emerge, such as Audio Video Systems (AVS) in Chantilly, Va. The integrator's green plan includes a new LEED-certified headquarters, which may prove to be the easy part. AVS's green leader Allan Childers explains that the company's adoption of green processes and procedures entails a long-term plan, implemented in phases. Childers' grassroots team has buy-in from company leaders after studying green AV and concluding there's not only a business case for sustainability, but also a clear set of values that's in line with AVS's own corporate values. (The company's owner also owns an organic farm.)
And what's happening at AVS is taking place at other AV firms. In April, I stood on a stage and declared that in five years, "green" as a label will be gone because green businesses will be like any other business. And therein lies the answer to my nagging green doubt. The fact is, we have data that justifies sustainability in business. We have a government that's supporting-or even mandating-a new green economy. We still may be on our way to solid standards, but what feels like stagnation today is just the quiet while green AV practitioners toil away at implementation, focused on long-term results. From their work will come the best practices and tangible results, until one day earth-friendly toilet paper is just toilet paper, and green AV is just AV.
Midori Connolly is CEO of Pulse Staging and Events in San Diego, a member of the Green Meeting Industry Council, a corporate social responsibility trainer for Meeting Professionals International, and an InfoComm lecturer on green AV topics.

"All the way from the east to the west, we got this high society looking down at that very foundation. Constantly reminding us that our actions were the cause of all their problems."
-Critical Acclaim by Avenged Sevenfold
I hope I don't end up being the guy that is labeled as the drama initiator, but I've been noticing an interesting split in the BYOND community lately..
Am I the only one that notices BYOND coming to a sort of climax and everybody splitting between two groups reminiscent of political parties which are either for or against the "new BYOND". This may just be my crazy ramblings but this is how I see it. BYOND has grown to a community much larger than what the original system for game management was planned for. In order for the games to be kept in check and monitored, BYOND needed to have a stronger grip on the community. In other words BYOND is moving towards a more "government controlled" style of administration and management.
Now, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. This will keep the games in check, and the software is still free. If you really want to get your game noticed, ask a member to purchase you a membership - We're not savages if you have a legit game under arm.
Besides, $18 isn't quite that much money for a yearlong membership. Think of the "new BYOND" as a controlled free market government which keeps things in check but you're still free to do what you please.
Anyway, quick blog to share my thoughts regardless of how political I made it seem. Discuss, share your thoughts, and don't feed the trolls - and again, I'm not trying to light more controversy.
Thanks for reading,
new BYOND- The redesign of BYOND for more game management. For more info click here.

Retro Warfare: Man vs. Pixels
While you might think the best way to take down alien invaders in an arcade game would be to use a joystick, or maybe a trackball or spinner, it turns out that you can also use a good, old-fashioned handgun. At least if you're the dude in this video clip.
In his short titled Retro Warfare, Andrew McMurry finds himself backed into a corner by a variety of pixelated foes, and has to resort to the weapon he has on hand to blast them back to where they came from.
Wasn't that fun? Now I wish I could go back and play Space Invaders and Pac-Man with a loaded gun and real bullets. It looks like fun. In case you're wondering, Andrew created the clip with the help of After Effects, Cinema 4D, and a pocketful of quarters.

It is very common to have reverse ident lookups do to your activity, and a DROP will cause a delay that is not needed. This particular item is normal and not a security concern in and of itself.
