Education centre > What Kids Really Want in a Garden for Children: Fact vs. Fiction
What Kids Really Want in a Garden for Children: Fact vs. FictionContributed by Monica Buntin Myhill, The Dallas Arboretum and Gardens, Dallas, Texas, USA IntroductionIn order to create the most enjoyable and stimulating garden for children at The Dallas Arboretum, children aged 6 -12 years old were involved in its planning and design. Students in first to fifth grades were asked to draw a picture of their ideal garden for children (FICTION). Observations were also made of school children who visited the Arboretum to determine their interests and activities within the Arboretum's current gardens (FACT). The results of these two studies were compared and contrasted to determine the most appropriate garden designs, features, topography, plant materials, and visitor activities for a future garden for children. Why was this Research Study Conducted?The Dallas Arboretum determined that it needed a garden for children. The mission statement for the Garden for Children is:
The Garden also determined to involve the audience in the planning Fiction: DrawingsWho was involved? Students in the first to fifth grades were asked to draw a picture of their ideal garden for children. The total number of students involved was 241, mostly from the Dallas public school system. Almost equal numbers of white, African-American and Hispanic students were involved. How were the student's responses collected? Through visiting classrooms, mostly in Dallas public schools. What were the results? The frequency with which certain items appeared in the drawings was calculated. These frequencies are listed below:
Fact: ObservationsWho was involved? Large groups of students were observed during June. These groups were attendees at summer camps, year-round classes, and child care groups. A total of 144 students were involved, from kindergarten to sixth grade. Their ethnic composition was 67% white, 28% African-American and 6% Hispanic. How was the data collected? As each group entered The Dallas Arboretum, the leader was asked if the group could be observed for the first 45 minutes of their visit (to keep consistency). Individual and group actions were recorded as well as individual comments. What were our results? At The Dallas Arboretum, the top two areas of interest were:
The Implications for Garden DesignWater features:
Plant selection:
Wildlife habitats:
Opportunities for Activities:
Additional structures and garden elements: Treehouse.

I just finished my first bookshelf project using pocket hole joinery and a Kreg jig and found that painting the cabinets was very time consuming - especially so since I used oil base paint which takes forever to dry. For my next project, I'm considering painting all of my pieces first once cut. Good idea? Thanks, |

You can prime stuff before fabricating, and if you're careful not to paint anywhere glue needs to go, you could put on a first finish coat before assembly, which will help with interiors of casework, but it's going to need a final coat after hole-filling on your moldings. Casey |

Being a freshman I cannot believe my first semester is already done. It's so weird to think that just a short amount of time ago I was moving into my dorm on the first day to now preparing for finals.
College is a LOT more difficult than high school. I have never studied this much in life, but from studying so much I feel so accomplished with myself. I have no regrets in anything this past semester and I can see how I have improved already. I thought in high school I would definitely have a C in a class, but I can proudly say that is not the case. I'm sure my parents are thrilled I thought I would be getting C's, but I was definitely afraid of college classes at first!
In my writing I can see how I have already improved. Looking at my first papers compared to now my grades have continued to increase and I continue to receive better comments from professors on every paper.
My first semester has not been all studying though, as many of you know by reading my blogs I had so much fun this past semester. I was able to attend three concerts during the school year, visit other colleges to see friends, see my sister get married, and so many other events. I have also met so many people and I am thankful for everyone in my life! I am so grateful to be able to attend a school of talented, intelligent, and awesome people.
I still have finals to get through, but second semester here I come.
Here's our holiday tradition at Butler, by Out of the Dawg House Butler's acapella group.

CORONA, Calif.–Somerton Dwelling will unveil a new 17,000 square-foot showroom created by Connie Post at the upcoming High Point Market.
The new showroom, space 1156 of the IHFC Commerce Building, is designed to appeal to retailers "who want to reach the young, fun and hip consumer," the company said.
"Armed with a clear directive from CEO Rita Ho-Bezzola that she wants each vignette to feel like people actually live there, and a clever in depth narrative for each personality, I'm embracing this younger consumer's lifestyle with touch points that say we relate," Post said. "Working on this project with an almost all female team lets me push the boundaries in product presentation and actually show how to appeal to this younger consumer. The home furnishing industry agrees that the big majority of decision makers for buying furniture are women and women know how to talk to women."
The new High Point showroom will have an environmentally conscious presentation that will incorporate recycled and all natural fabrics on the upholstery to compliment Somerton Dwellings wood products now using all water-based finishes. Somerton will mark its 30th year in business at the market.

Near midnight I got a call for the Veterans Administration Hospital. My fare walked out the emergency-room door. He held his arms straight out from his sides. In his left hand he had a piece of yarn that was tied to the neck of a small dog, which looked like a dust mop without a handle. In his right hand he held a clear plastic trash bag filled with children's toys, mostly girls' dolls. His momentum come from the waist, and he paused before each step. He'd throw one leg in front of the other and center his weight before taking the next step. I thought he was going to fall over. He was wearing corduroy pants several inches too short, mismatched argyle socks and a pair of black wingtip shoes. He was also wearing a flannel shirt and a blue parka, and over the parka he was wearing a white shirt. An old scar, several inches long, ran down the side of his face.
I opened the back door of the cab and reached for the plastic bag. He yelled at me not to touch his kids. He ordered the dog to get in and it did. He threw the trash bag onto the seat next to the dog and turned to face me. He grabbed the top of the open door with his left hand, and he put his right hand on the door frame above him. He fell backward a step and dropped his rear end onto the edge of the seat. He picked his legs up from behind his knees and at the same time swiveled his hips. I heard two faint metallic clicks. He was wearing leg braces. He swung his legs in and pulled the door shut.
I walked around and got behind the wheel. He said he was going to Holy Ghost Church. As I pulled away from the hospital he started ranting about inches -- four inches, to be exact -- and how many fourths and sixty-fourths there were in four inches. I asked for the charge-account slip the VA gives to its outpatients. He said he didn't have one. The guy said the church would pay. I doubted it. The guy angrily asked me how tall I thought he was. It was a leading question, but I said I thought he was in the neighborhood of about six feet. He shouted back at me, "Neighborhood! Fuck you!" I turned left onto 17th Avenue and drove slowly alongside City Park. He asked me again how tall he was, and this time I said I didn't know. "I'm five feet, nine fucking inches tall!" he shouted. He began knocking his knees together, and the braces made rhythmic clanks.
We approached the edge of the park near downtown, and on my left was the esplanade in front of East High School. The engine suddenly stalled, and I slid into the curb. I tried to restart the cab. He rolled down the back window and threw out an odd contraption. It looked like pieces of plastic, shiny metal, tape and bandages. Attached to it was a black shoe. He then yanked up his other pant leg, unhitched the same kind of device from his thigh and threw it out the window onto the curb.
For a moment I was shocked and didn't know what to do. I started to get out of the cab and get his legs, but he begged me not to. I thought about calling the cops, but what was I going to do? Bust him for littering? I thought about calling the dispatcher and having her call the VA, but any option would take time and cost me money. My passenger began to laugh. He explained that the VA had fitted him with five pairs of legs during the last three years but they never got his height right. With the idea in the back of my mind that I wasn't going to get paid anyway, I told him that if we left his legs I wasn't going to carry him a step.
I finally got the cab started and pulled away from the curb. I drove about twenty feet, set the brake, turned on the flashers and got out. I walked back to the curb area and saw his shoes and legs were already covered with snow. One leg was in the gutter and the other on the grass. Reasoning with the guy seemed out of the question. I thought about throwing the legs in the trunk and turning them in to Lost & Found at the end of my shift, but I'd never live something like that down with the other drivers. I even thought about holding them for collateral until I got paid, but the idea of touching them seemed weird. So I left them.

Hey Queyh,
thanks for your sit memhr.org. Great work!I'm from europe. For myself, I am an eritrean. But, sadly, do not speak tigrigna: There are many new eritreans arriving these days and I would like to help them a bit.
I noticed that many of those families have no access to information in tigrigna about how to "survive" in a western world.
I was wondering if you had any links to practical resources in tigrigna about raising children, health, healthy food habits, personnal finance, Do It Yourself, sexuality, western education system, history, institutions, first aid and all other aspects of life.
If not, could you link me to someone who could and advise me on good translaters? Translating books from English to tigrigna on those issues could be the way to go.
Again, thanks for what you're doing!

Wow can't wait!
As usual a big thanks to the team for giving me suggestions on my quest. It's almost done thank God .Had no idea what it took to build a quest. I'm doing some testing of it as well as tweaking somethings to make it challegening as well as some what easy. I think Im going to add some major credit loot to my quest as a grand prize not sure yet. I dont want to give away a major amount of creds for an easy quest you're going to have to work hard to earn my money shoot I did Anyways it looks like Im going to be opening this Friday. I'll let everyone know when it's open. Also I have been working on a major waterpark as well. It my first solo attempted at building a ride . I think Im pretty darn good with the water slide pieces I guess it my Water Safety Instructor and Lifeguard coming out of me (Im water baby )anyway that about almost complete as well.
I want to also apologize to the team. Please dont think Im ignoring any of you when I'm on. Im just trying to get this waterpark and quest up and running and with all the DC on vmk it making it very hard to finish any of the games to get my creds. Let's just say if I could type half the stuff I was shouting at my computer in the last couple of weeks I would be ban for life from VMK So sorry Ill try and take a break and hop on over to say hey.
I will post here when the grand opening of each will be. The waterpark Im working on gives aways like the first 20 quest will get something when they ride. Trivia team is also eligible for the give of aways. More details to follows.
Wow can't wait!
Got Disney?
Major set back looks likes quest is not going open until this weekend. I came home last night to major issue with the cable which by the my internet is hooke up to. So I was unable to get on. When I get home tonight from work it should be up and running and I can get back to work. Keep your fingers crossed.
Hey, can't wait for the quest - I will try to be there opening day!
Quest should hopefully be up and running sometime tomorrow. Seeing as the job I have now does not allow me to get into vmk (the nerve of these people LOL)unlike my last job all my work on my quest is being done at home on my laptop and that's inbetween bein mom the dictator as my oldest DD as name me (sorry Im a stickler for the schoolwork)so I'll be doing two final test runs on the quest tonight and adding a few more prizes and maybe some more credits.If the quest checks out okay I'll post the Grand Opening. Also Water Parks is taking much longer due to vmk major DC issues so I'll keep the team posted as well.

At analyst meetings and during many conversations with industry players, I constantly hear a theme of tablets turning into notebooks. In essence, there is a belief that the tablet will evolve in form and function to look more like a notebook rather than less. This device is in essence the convergence of a notebook with a tablet popularly referred to as hybrids and convertibles.
Much of this has to do with Windows 8 and there is no question that this form factor will appeal to a segment of the market. Thanks to Apple, Google, and Microsoft, I believe that it is inevitable that all major software going forward will be re-imagined for touch interfaces first and foremost.
Traditional notebooks will become relics
Because of the incredible growth of the iPad and smartphones over recent years, nearly all software developers have turned their eyes to touch. I have been one of the foremost proponents of touch computing and I firmly believe it is the foundation of our computing future. Clearly, the software industry has been reborn around touch computing–R.I.P Computer-Aided Display Control (aka Mouse).
It is because of this new computing paradigm built from the ground up around touch that when I see notebooks I feel like I am looking at the past. Yet when I see how kids, elderly, non-techies, and first time computer users in emerging markets use the iPad, I am convinced I am looking at the future.
A notebook is really only a portable desktop computer. It was fascinating to hear Apple's COO Peter Oppenheimer on many Apple earnings calls, refer to the Mac business as desktops and portables–that's my kind of industry terminology!
Many desktop use cases are the same on notebooks. The only difference between the two is that one is portable and one is not. Tablets are, however, much more of a personal mobile computer than a notebook ever was or will be and the drastic change in use cases between the iPad and notebooks is significant. They are also even more mobile than a notebook, making tablets the ultimate mobile personal computer.
I don't know anyone who owns an iPad who has stopped using their notebook or desktop entirely. There are times when you want a larger screen and a keyboard to accomplish some tasks. This is the best argument for the hybrid tablet / notebook computer. But there is another scenario I can see playing out that may make the notebook form factor irrelevant for many consumers.
The desktop's new role
Believe it or not, I see desktops making a comeback due to a role change. Consumer all-in-one desktops (like the iMac) are being designed to be showcased prominently in the house rather than stuck in the den or office. These computers will be very elegant, very powerful, and very affordable. So rather than try to converge a notebook and a tablet, I think a better solution is to pair a desktop all-in-one with a tablet, in consumer markets.
The idea is that when you want a big screen, keyboard, etc., you get it in a no compromise package with more processing power, graphics, memory, and storage than you would ever get in a converged tablet / notebook or a laptop. When you want a mobile computer you get a no compromise mobile computer with a tablet.
I think this makes a lot of sense, perhaps even more than a converged notebook / tablet for the mass market.
I've tested many of these converged notebook / tablet devices and more work still needs to be done to bring the best of both worlds. Even though it is trying to be the best of both worlds, it fails at both, or at the very least is heavily compromised on both fronts. Plus, if you buy my logic that a notebook is just a portable desktop, then the notebook becomes irrelevant in a desktop / tablet solution.
Of course the cloud and specifically the relationship between a desktop and a tablet would need to evolve quite a bit more than it has to date for this to work. Solution based thinking is needed for this particular scenario to be done right.
This even works in a family setting where each member of the house has their own tablet screen and the desktop remains the communal screen for more "heavy lifting." Each person's cloud would have to work harmoniously on a personal level and also at a family level. The same is true in business cases for teams and groups to work together. I know many who are using Dropbox or Box.net to accomplish a more shared workflow but more work still needs to be done.
I have in fact been trying this experiment for myself at my house. Using a desktop as my primary big screen computer and a tablet for all my other mobile use cases. It is surprisingly sufficient already even without being built with this specific use case in mind.
Goodbye personal notebook?
Now realistically the notebook form factor will always exist for a certain segment. This model may not work for business users or mobile professionals. But I am beginning to wonder whether this desktop paired with a tablet solution may be a very attractive proposition for the mass consumer market. In this scenario everyone in the home has their own personal tablet rather than everyone having their own personal notebook. This scenario is not tomorrow, next year, or even a few years away but I would not be shocked if this solution gains traction at some point in the future.
This topic again is meant more of a thought exercise around a scenario that I could see playing out. Rarely am I struck with a feeling of excitement these days from notebook vendor announcements; rather I get the sense they are investing in the past.
Tablets and tablet technology have a much brighter future.

Vancouver punk photographer Bev Davies shoots Bono
When Vancouver punk photographer Bev Davies first collaborated with Nardwuar the Human Serviette on a calendar, in 2007, a point of contention arose when Nardwuar wanted to use a photo Davies took of U2 in 1983. "That one was called a punk-rock calendar, so all cred would have been gone," Davies told the Straight. The contentious pic finally appears in Nardwuar and Davies's new 2013 calendar, included as a bonus with Mint Records' compilation LP Busy Doing Nothing. But it's more punk than you might think: it only exists because of Davies's prior experience shooting the Dead Kennedys.
The image shows Bono dramatically poised on the verge of a deliberate fall into the audience at the US Festival in San Bernardino, California. "Bono was walking back and forth, agitated, across the front of the stage," Davies remembered, "and I started noticing him doing this. And then I noticed that he was pulling the microphone cord, making sure he had lots of loose cord. And in the back of my head I immediately knew what he was doing, because I'd seen Jello Biafra do it. And that's what the photograph is—just as he's tilting into the audience."
Davies's colleagues in the press pit looked at her in envy when they heard her camera click. "None of them had probably shot Jello," she says, "so they didn't know what he was doing up there!"

Dell Latitude D820 vs D830
Hi guys,
I am a little lost as to the main differences between the Latitude D820 and the D830?
The computer will mainly be used for office work (excel), photoshop, and watching DVDs - no games at all.
I'm mainly concerned with the quality of the screen.
Slight differences in graphihcs card or hard-drive size are not of great concern.
I also noticed the D830 doesn't have a mic input - this could be an issue for Skype.

Re: Dell Latitude D820 vs D830
The D830's screens definitely are of better quality. The Santa Rosa chipset in combination with the T7100/T7300/7500/7700 CPU's deliver lower overall power consumption, and hence, greater battery life, than the chipset used in the D820.
The D830 has a microphone input, as well as a built-in microphone (albeit one with relatively poor quality). For Skype, you are advised to equip yourself with a USB or Bluetooth headset.

I am almost finished rewiring my house, and I have no prior experience of doing this, but I spent a couple of months reading the NEC book and researching on the web, especially here. I have 2 concerns at this point: 1) did I get it right? and 2) what does a 'rough-in inspection' require. As far as the first concern goes, I can only hope that I gained enough knowlege to do the work correctly. For the second concern, I have no idea what a 'rough-in' inspection requires... I have assumed that so long as everything is visible/inspectable I should be ok.. but I did make up connections everywhere, just didn't stuff the wries into boxes etc.. I would appreciate any comments/suggestions and here aare a few samples of what I did.
btw, the blue and black cables that are hanging down are phone and video.. I will secure them at some point... TIA |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have 2 questions about these pictures. 1) The romex connected to the K&T wiring: is the romex supplying power to the K&T or is the romex extending the K&T circuit? 2) In the panel, the feeder ground wire doesn't look like it's coming from the feeder conduit. Maybe that's just the angle of the picture. Anyway, the conduit at the bottom of the picture has a white wire that looks like it's landed at the ground bar instead of the neutral bar. Is this where the wire is actually landed?!? |
- Posted by ronnatalie (My Page) on Thu, Jun 10, 10 at 6:24
I guess some of it depends on local practice. Here they don't want to see connections made during the rough-in stage. What's with the purple wire nuts on the K&T? In the second photo is there really 12 and 14g romex spliced together? What's the OCD on that circuit? The panel looks like it might be OK. This is a subpanel? It's fed with RMC or something similar? The neutral does seem landed on an isolated bus bar (has any bonding between that and the case been removed). That piece of bare copper is connected between the bonding ring and the ground bus? |
Thanks for the reponse samneric and ronnatalie. The K&T is being supplied by the romex from an AFCI breaker in the subpanel. I have 2 other K&T circuits wired in the same way but they are fed from the main panel. The purple wire nuts are al/cu - the tin plating on the K&T wire at first made me think it was aluminum. Is the use of these nuts a problem? The panel is indeed a subpanel, and the feed is through 1 1/4 EMT, using the EMT as the ground. The grounded bus (nuetral)is not bonded to ground (unlike at the main panel). I have attached some more pics that show the panel more clearly, also part of the feed conduit and its support. The 10g conductors at the bottom are not 'tidied up' yet, but the pic shows the connections. The third pic is a closeup of the j-box that is being fed from the main panel. The 14g romex is spliced to 14g THHN from the conduit, which comes from a 15amp breaker in the main panel. |
All I can recommend is to double-check your box fill. In the second photo, the box may be a little crowded. If so, you can put on an extension ring. |
"What's with the purple wire nuts on the K&T?" This. The purple nuts are for aluminum wire and K&T is NOT aluminum. It is often solder plated copper and looks silver but aluminum was painfully expensive when K&T wiring was used. The AHJ will have to make the call on the continued use of the K&T wiring. Many places require to to be removed from service if a major update is performed. You do not have to remove the old wires, just disconnect them from power and stop using them. |
Something doesn't look right about the way that K&T wire is fastened to the knob. Is it really wrapped and *knotted* round the knob? What are the wires from the K&T to the box? Are they new or original, and what colors are they? And how did you connect them to the K&T? |

Many insurance companies will not insure a home with active knob and tube wiring. YOu'd better check with yours. Either way, plan on replacing those circuits ASAP. Yes, untouched K&T is grandfathered. Yours isn't exactly untouched. It needs to go. |
the K&T wire is wrapped and knotted around the knob. I did not change that from the original installation. The wires leading into the box are the original wires, I just cut them and put some loom over them. They used to run to a different j-box above the ceiling, but I had to remove that and run romex to the new j-box. The lower wire is a sort of dark red color but further along the circuit it is black, and the upper is a sort of light gray color. I can post more detailed pics if you think it would help? |
live_wire_oak, I don't know what my insurance company's policy is, but I guess I should find out. Thanks for the advise :) As for as the K&T being 'untouched', I thought the NEC requirement is that it be replaced if possible/reasonable to do so, but otherwise it is ok to splice it to romex in order to connect it to a modern panel. Am I off base on that? I would love to replace the whole lot, but it would mean ripping open nearly every wall, ceiling and floor in the house... not a pleasant prospect |

Yes, get rid of the purple wire nuts. While I don't know why they shouldn't work technically they are NOT listed for anything other than one Aluminum to 1 or 2 copper (depending on sizes). A sticky instpector might rightfully ding you. |
> the K&T wire is wrapped and knotted around the knob. > I did not change that from the original installation. For whatever reasons, in the days of K&T, the job of wirring a dwelling was more often (though not always!) left to pros. Thus I suspect that some hacker has been at your electrcal system. What I see in your photo is not a pro's work. And it's not right. I don't know for sure that the AHJ will flag it - but I think he or she darn well should. If I were doing this job and wanted to leave that segment of K&T in service, I'd redo that splice right. The conductors should pass through the slots in the knob, not be wrapped around it. You may need to add a few turns of electrical tape to that modern thermoplastic insulated wire (definitely not original) so it fits into the slot tight enough. All splices should be soldered and taped with insullation equivalent to or better than that on the wires. I think at least one length of your loom projects too far into your box, BTW. Also, I can't see what the wire that heads off at a right angle is doing, but I suspect it might need to have loom on it for protection. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with K&T. In fact the separation of conductors may actually make it safer is some situations. Pretty hard for hot and neutral to touch when they're a foot or more apart! However, K&T is usually undersized for modern needs. On a limited lighting circuit, this may not be a big deal - but in lots of older houses ALL the lights were on ONE circuit. When fitted 70 or 80 years ago, they powered one or two incandescent blubs per room, probably no more than 40 watts. Look at what folks put on them now! Of course there's no grounding conductor, something of a safety issue - though again maybe less so on 100% lightting circuits. Virtually all original K&T was done with type R wire, insulated with rubber and a woven cloth cover. Over the years time, heat, and air pollution have often hardened the rubber to the point where the insuulation literally flakes off when it's disturbed. Finally, it's a fire hazard (and a code violation) for K&T to be surrounded by insullation. It can't dissipate heat properly if it is. And guess what, many stud spaces in older dwellings have now been filled with added inssulation. This is probably the best reason for abandoning your old K&T and doing a real upgrade. > ... it would mean ripping open nearly every wall, Not necessarily. It depends on the situation, but often you can fish NM with minimal damage to the finished walls and ceilings, just some hand-sized openings that are fairly easily patched. If the flooor above is unfinished you're in great shape, because you can often pull up floorboards to gain access from above. Even if it's finished, you may be able to lift the carppet. There's almost always a way. |

black star has become very mature after he killed mifune and rarely ever fools around in a fight. and i said black star surpassed stein in hand to hand if you re read the chapter you can see stein says it himself right after bs kicked him the face. also speed equal only equalizes base speed unless stated otherwise.Why would you doubt it? By nearly all accounts BS has shown himself to be foolish and arrogant, whereas Sasuke is cool and calculating. Do you think that Black Star could have thought on the level Sasuke did in the Deidara fight? Hell no.
Also, Black Star has not surpassed Stein. Stein only said that Black Star had the edge in physical force and possibly endurance. If you go back to that scene you'll see that Black Star wasn't even able to land a single direct hit on Stein. Mifune, of course, I will give you. And ohgodwhy has stated in the OP that speed is equal, regardless of techniques. Until he states otherwise, BS has lost his best and only advantage over Sasuke.
i agree sasuke has more of a wide range of different techniques but i wouldn't call them 'better'. kirin takes way to long to prep, there's no way he'd be able to get that off before bs attacks. and sasuke cutting through tsubaki is just lol. iirc sasuke only cut metal once and it was a random kunai while tsubaki has withstood multiple steel cutters at once.And yes, better techniques. He has more at his disposal with clones, substitutions, lightning style techniques, a plethora of fire techniques, summons and genjutsu (if Blackstar makes eye contact he's dead), not to mention a little technique called Kirin, which has demonstrated more power than anything shown by nearly anyone in the entire Soul Eater series. Hell, Sasuke may simply be able to cut through Tsubaki's weaponry with a lightning-infused katana. As it stands, Blackstar is dying.
And when did Blackstar become hypersonic+? Last time I checked higher tier Soul Eater characters were on the mid-hypersonic range. With the level that Sasuke is at, he'd be at least supersonic+ at his current point. If BS were to go straight for the kill, he'd win, but if Sasuke gets the chance to activate Susano (which he may well just do from the start) then BS has no way of getting through. If it were their current, unrestricted forms it could go either way.
for black star being hypersonic; he was able to best mifune whom is hypersonic+ from blocking hypersonic sniper fire on multiple occasions and has dodged a detonated gun powder explosion point blank. at one point in their fight mifune couldn't even track black star's movements when he used zetseui.

Node comes with this wonderful abstraction called Streams. There are two basic types of streams: Read Streams and Write Streams.
A read stream is a source of data: it behaves like a data faucet, emitting data events. An example of a read stream is a file read stream:
var fs = require('fs');
var readStream = fs.createReadStream('/var/log/system.log');
readStream.on('data', function(data) {
console.log('got some data:', data);
readStream.on('end', function() {
As you can see, a read stream (and a write stream) is a special case of an event emitter that emit the data
and end
event types.
Let's run this script.
As you can see, there are several data events being triggered, each with a chunk of data of the file that we're reading.
Each data event gets a buffer as the data payload. If you specify an encoding, the buffers will be encoded into a string:
If you run this again, you will now get UTF-8-encoded strings.
There are other supported encodings like base64
Just like a faucet, you can pause and resume a read stream. Let's try to just emmit one chunk of data each second:
var fs = require('fs');
var readStream = fs.createReadStream('/var/log/system.log');
readStream.on('data', function(data) {
console.log('got some data:', data);
setTimeout(function() {
}, 1000);
readStream.on('end', function() {
setTimeout(function() {
}, 1000);
Let's run this and watch the effect on the log output.
A write stream is a stream that you write data to. An example of a write stream is a file write stream:
var fs = require('fs');
var writeStream = fs.createWriteStream('/tmp/write.txt');
var interval = setInterval(function() {
writeStream.write((new Date()).toString() + '\n');
}, 100);
setTimeout(function() {
}, 5000);
Here we're creating a file write stream and writing a string to it every 100 miliseconds. After 5 seconds we're ending the stream.
Let's test this code.
Every time you write to a write stream, the data gets buffered until it is flushed to the kernel. Every time the Node buffers are depleted, you get a drain
event. Let's see that in action by adding this line to the end of our example:
writeStream.on('drain', function() {
returns a boolean that is true
if the data was immediately flushed, and false
if the data got buffered.
Let's also observe this return value:
var interval = setInterval(function() {
var flushed = writeStream.write((new Date()).toString() + '\n');
console.log('flushed:', flushed);
}, 100);
Let's see this in action.
A read stream can be piped into a write stream by using stream.pipe()
like this:
Pipe also deals with back-pressure: when the write is not flushed, the read stream is paused until the write stream emits the drain
Let's now see some uses of pipe. For that let's create an HTTP Server:
var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');
function randomFileName() {
return '/tmp/' + Date.now() + '_' + Math.random() * 1000000 + '.txt';
http.createServer(function(req, res) {
var fileName = randomFileName();
console.log('writing request to', fileName);
res.writeHead(200, {'content-type': 'text/plain'});
Here we're creating an HTTP server listening on port 8080. On each request we get the request and response objects.
The request object is a read stream which we pipe to a file write stream.
We also pipe the current source file into the response — which is a write stream. we're piping the request body.

Below, people can find very interesting and insightful talk on fighting fears of our life and how to delete them from our lives. Many big thinkers of world have already stated this that mostly people fail in this world because of their fears. Fears mostly stop people from taking risks; therefore, lots of people in world do not grow because of their fears. As per this talk, fears result from our association with our ego. People can easily reduce lots of their fears by associating with powerful true self which remains unchanged throughout our life. I request people to go through this video numbers of times to fight successfully fears of their lives and become fearless person.

All internship programs administered by the Pace Center provide Princeton undergraduates with 8-10 week summer internships, with a weekly stipend of $450. Applications are due mid January with most interns placed by mid-March.
Interested in receiving more information? Tell us about the type of internships you are interested in here.
A collaboration of Office of Religious Life and Pace Center for Civic Engagement, the Interfaith Summer Internship Program (ISIP) trains Princeton students in interfaith organizing through a hands-on summer internship in New York City. ISIP partners with organizations that work with underserved communities and develops greater public awareness about the role that interfaith, defined as the encounter of religious difference in the public sphere, can play in fostering a civil society.
PICS provides the opportunity for students to explore potential careers in public service and the non-profit sector. Princeton students bring their creativity, skills, and energy to their sponsoring non-profit organizations, producing effective, meaningful work on significant projects of value to the organizations. The internships encompass a wide range of endeavors in national and international organizations, working in group advocacy, legal services, public policy, the environment, health and social services, community development, education, and the arts. Princeton alumni serve as partners to the student interns. The internship partnering program promotes the development of important and long-lasting connections between alumni and current and recent undergraduates.
Generously funded by the Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Foundation, Oscar S. Straus II Fellows in Criminal Justice are a group of Princeton University, Columbia University, and Barnard College students who intern each summer in the metropolitan New York area, at criminal justice non-profit organizations where they engage in direct client service, while working in legal services, social services, or policy and research. The program was launched in 1996 and supports 16-20 internships, each providing a $450/week stipend.

Crackling fires, cozy sleeping bags, and marshmallows toasted to personal perfection are among the most treasured joys of childhood. Many parents with warm sleep-away camp memories can't wait for their own children to go. For others, the thought of overnight camp unleashes a battalion of butterflies.
Happily, some area camps ease young kids (and their parents) into the overnight camp experience, offering abbreviated sessions that cater to the needs of fledgling campers. These camps offer a toe in the water for what some say is a quintessential summer tradition.
"I think camp is one of the most important things for kids to do to help them be well-rounded, confident adults," said Carrie Kishline, senior program manager for Camp Fire USA's Camp Sealth on Vashon Island. "It helps them gain social skills."
Campers get to be part of a small, tight-knit cabin group and see older campers as role models, said Alicia Hogl, summer programs director for the YMCA's Camp Colman. "(Younger) campers can't go on intense high ropes courses, but they can look at adventure campers and see what they get to do."
Homesickness is often a worry for overnight campers, and all three of the camps described in this article keep lines of communication open. Camp Sealth prints out e-mails from parents every day for the kids. They also post daily photos of what is happening at camp. Additionally, Kishline explained, "Parents can call us any time if they are worried. If there are any problems, we'll call parents right away and include them in the problem-solving process."
James Simpson, whose 6-year-old son, Owen, attended Camp Colman last year, said they did a good job of helping parents feel connected. "They provide pictures for parents from sessions," Simpson said. "We got to see what Owen's experience was like."
Simpson's son is the third generation to attend a YMCA camp, and he is thrilled that his son got to "step out and do his own thing. He's very young, but he got to make his own experiences. He liked the opportunity to form friendships and make experiences that were his alone. He seemed very confident when he came back."
The YMCA's 100-acre, densely forested Camp Colman, situated on the Case Inlet in lower Puget Sound, offers a mini camp for kids entering grades one and two. The camp lasts half a week, rather than a full week. Mini campers try out camp activities like crafting and climbing, with close supervision and bedtime routines that help them feel comfortable sleeping away from home.
James Simpson's son, Owen, attended a mini camp last year. "When we saw the mini camp, we thought it was the ideal opportunity to make a test run of it. It's a great chance to dip your toe in and see what the overnight camp is," Simpson said. "He thrived."
Camp Colman offers a parent/child one-night preview camp for first-time campers in the spring.
Camp Fire USA's Camp Sealth on Vashon Island also offers shorter four day/three night camps "for the nervous or first-time camper." Sessions are for boys and girls as young as first graders.
Kishline, the senior program manager, said they have specific requirements for camp staff for the younger kids. "We select counselors who are especially nurturing and caring, and function almost as a substitute parent, because that's what the young kids need," she said.
Activities are also tailored to the needs of younger kids. "They need more breaks, so schedules are kept simpler and are not quite as action-packed," Kishline said. "They build sandcastles, swim, wade and explore nature. They like playing games and hanging out together. Everything is new to them."
Camp Sealth will host open houses this spring where families can meet counselors and see what the 400-acre camp has to offer.
Girl Scout Camps: River Ranch, Robbinswold, St. Albans
The Girl Scouts organization has three beautiful camp properties in the Puget Sound area. Their resident camps include three day/two night and four day/three night options, which are great for first-timers. They also offer week-long day camps with a Thursday night overnight option. Jennifer Dickson, camp director at Camp River Ranch near Carnation, says this is a great first step. "Girls become familiar with camp and the routine during the week before staying overnight," she said.
Girls entering grades one through three are grouped together because, Dickson said, these ages have similar school experiences and this often allows siblings to camp together. The Girl Scouts employ a smaller ratio of two staff to 10 girls for this age group.
Living quarters for the youngest overnight campers are completely indoors with fully functioning bathrooms. "It's like a big slumber party," Dickson said. "The girls are all in one room together in bunk beds, and the staff is with them."
Laura Spruce Wight is a Seattle-area freelance writer whose 7-year-old is eagerly anticipating her first sleep away camp this summer.

How to Tell if Your Child Is Ready
P.E.A.C.E of Mind (Parent Education and Child Empowerment) offers a set of questions to help determine if your child is ready for sleep-away camp. See www.pomwa.org/default.aspx.
Has your child spent the night away from home before (and not just at Grandma's house)?
Does your child show an interest in sleep away camp? (You may want that sleep away camp before they are really ready or want to go.)
Does your child respect rules well?
Will your child have the interest and ability to join the camp activities on his/her own? (Swim camp may not be so fun for a novice swimmer.)
Will you be close enough to go and get them if they are unable to handle camp?
Can your child articulate his or her needs/concerns to other adults well?
If you answered "no" to more than two of those questions, your family may not be quite ready to handle sleep away camp right now.

Kym hosted the Secret Santa Seed Swap. It was great! She kept it fun by playing games. I received a beautiful hot chocolate mug with a long-handled spoon & a lid, filled with candy! Thank you Kym! Looking forward to the Birthday Extravaganza Swap! |
Kym rocks! I can't tell you how much I enjoyed her hosting the Secret Santa Swap recently. She is definitely one of the most thoughtful people I've met here on GW! The way I see it, she should have at least 146 great reviews since that's how many of us benefitted from all her hard work in that swap. It was amazing to say the least how she made sure to see to it that every single member was blessed and received at least 5 Christmas "wishes". Thank you SO very much, Kym! I am especially thankful for the envelope she sent to me and another to my daughter, Hannah. You really know how to bring some huge smiles to our faces, Kym! Blessings, |
4 star trade with Kym!!! Don't hesitate to trade with her if you get the chance, an asset to GW!!! |

DVD review
Boisterous action ensues when colourfully tattooed extreme sports fanatic Xander Cage is press-ganged into the service of the US government. Rob Cohen directs with brutal bravado, there are some amazing stunts, and the whole thing is noisily entertaining. Vin Diesel's Xander, though, is no match for Kurt Russell's Snake Plissken, and a touch of John Carpenter's genuine anarchy would have been welcome.

Dear Editor:
The arrest of state Sen. Malcolm Smith and Councilman Dan Halloran is yet again another example of dishonest politicians dipping their hands into the money till illegally. Should this be surprising? With the way our government is being run today, not at all.
What ever happened to honesty, integrity and respect in politics? They must have all blown away, just like Dorothy's house in "The Wizard of Oz."
Shame on those two politicians for what they did. Their constituents do not deserve this.
Editor's note: All defendants are of course innocent until proven guilty.

I just read an article which mentioned how the human mind isn't really set up to take probability into account.
It is able to grasp the concept, obviously, but that grasp doesn't translate very well emotionally, or with decision making.
So, even if you tell someone there is a "false discovery rate" when it comes to something like gambling, they might not believe you, and that's where superstitions about luck come into play.

There are roughly 3,500 miles between Washington, D.C. and London — for journalists, those miles might as well be light years. When it comes to global warming, the political climates in the two capitals have never been farther apart, a discrepancy that was made abundantly clear in the vastly different responses in the British and American press to a recent climate report.
Sir Nicholas Stern delivered his controversial review on the Economics of Climate Change to the British government on Oct. 30. It warns that unless the international community begins to spend money on curbing greenhouse gas emissions, the costs of unabated global warming will be catastrophic. Stern, formerly chief economist at the World Bank, estimates that the world needs to shell out 1 percent of global gross domestic product by 2050 in order to avoid losses of 5 percent to 20 percent in global GDP due to climate-related environmental degradation. His report is significant because it does for the economics of this issue what the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change did for the science — it announces a consensus. Yet unlike that august panel, and despite Stern's stature, the report does not carry the weight of global consensus, which has dampened its impact outside the U.K.. The fact that it harbors uncertain predictions and directives is almost a given. Pundits will pick at its details for years to come, just as they continue to pick at the IPCC. But that does not diminish the agreement within British government that it is time to invest, in some way or another, in halting the proliferation of greenhouse gases around the globe.
In London, politicians welcomed the study enthusiastically, and journalists responded with a flurry of articles. Some stories were critical and some were supportive, but their prominence in the press and their detailed accounts of the germane issues reflected the fact that anti-global warming legislation is a looming reality in the U.K.. Even Prime Minister Tony Blair wrote an opinion piece for the Sun in which he called the Stern review "the most important report on the future which I have received since becoming Prime Minister." Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown, who commissioned the study and is expected to succeed Blair as PM, said the British government would use the study to assume global leadership in climate policy. That puts the ruling Labour party in line with the Tory opposition, whose leader, David Cameron, "deserves credit for forcing the environment up the political agenda," according to the Independent. Many arguments remain — green taxes are an especially thorny issue — but they are grist for the British press corps' expansive coverage. A great number of those stories also analyzed the U.S. reaction. But across the Atlantic, the Bush administration dubbed the Stern report a mere "contribution" to the global debate, and American journalists, sheltered from the winds of change, displayed less enthusiasm for it than their British colleagues.
That is not to say that U.S. reporters missed the story. In fact, a Wall Street Journal editorial complained that they gave too much attention to the Stern report at the expense of a meeting at the United Nations organized by Bjorn Lomborg of the Copenhagen Consensus Center. That organization argues that poverty, famine and disease are more pressing issues than global warming and should receive financial priority. It is true that stateside media largely ignored the Lomborg event and concentrated on the discrepancy between economic consensus in the U.K. and U.S., but the U.S. press's acknowledgement of the Stern report's significance was more tacit.
When the study went public, the New York Times published an excellent front-page story, headlined "Budgets Falling in Race to Fight Global Warming," about the Bush administration's paltry contributions to energy research and development — and not just renewable technologies. Author Andrew Revkin revealed that the current federal budget for all energy R&D, $3 billion per year, is less than half of what it was in 1979, and it pales in comparison to much larger, and still growing, health and military research budgets. But the story mentioned the Stern report only in passing. Revkin covered the study in a separate article on page 14, but it was short and rather dry.

Mark's life spun out of control, but he came to understand that God would not give up on him.

After hearing about other's success in overcoming addiction, Karen learned what she needed to do to change.

Recovery is Possible
Some people consider addictions to only be bad habits that can be conquered by willpower alone, but many people become so dependent on a behavior or a substance that they no longer see how to abstain from it. However, through Jesus Christ and His Atonement, you can recover and enjoy all the blessings of the gospel.
Join in studying and applying the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ. If you follow this path with a sincere heart, you will find the power you need to recover from addiction. The Savior will strengthen you and you will come to "know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32).
Seeking help can be very difficult. As you access this site and attend meetings, your participation is completely confidential and will not be shared with anyone. When you are ready, you can choose on your own to include others in your path to recovery.
"I testify to you that your body, mind, and spirit can be transformed, cleansed, and made whole, and you will be freed."
-Elder M. Russell Ballard, October 2010 general conference
The 12 Steps
The 12 steps of the Addiction Recovery Program are based on gospel principles to help individuals overcome addiction through the Atonement. The steps contain explanations of principles, practical suggestions for applying those principles, and "understanding" questions relating to each step.
