Managing the Child's Environment
Adults influence children by setting up the physical environment of the classroom well and by providing clean, safe, and appropriate learning materials. Teachers also influence children by developing an appropriate time schedule and by developing appropriate classroom routines and structures. It is possible, for example, for children to learn social skills such as conflict resolution through direct instruction—skits and scenarios. Learning the skill, however, does not guarantee that children will use the skills on the playground, in the cafeteria, or in other place outside the lessons directly focusing on specific skills (Johnson, Poliner, & Bonaiuto, 2005). Children need to practice their new skills through the school day.
The teachers at Oakwood manage the environment so that children have opportunities to practice skills. They use a morning meeting (Kriete, 2002), a structured beginning to each day for children to get to know one another, to feel welcomed, to shape the classroom culture, and to practice social skills. They value social interaction in learning activities and use learning centers. They reflect on routines like recess and lunch, and decided to have recess first and then lunch so that children might unwind and have a quiet transition to afternoon activities. They plan transitions, realizing that good transitions reduce stress for children.
Such developmentally appropriate practices can improve children's achievement in urban settings (Huffman & Speer, 2000). Fawcett and Garton (2005) found that both social interaction and children's explaining how they solved a problem helped children develop better problem-solving skills. At-risk 5- to 6-year-old children in Hamre and Pianta's study (2005) improved in achievement scores and their relationships with teachers when they were placed in classrooms with strong instructional and educational support.
Stating Expectations of Desired Behaviors Example.
"Ryan," called Mr. Claiborne, "wash your hands and then you can join the group and help us cut up the fruit for our snack."
Mr. Claiborne makes a conscious effort to define cooperative, helpful behavior. Authoritative adults like Ryan's teacher develop good rules or limits and then communicate them clearly to children. Authoritarian adults, on the other hand, tend to set too many arbitrary limits, and permissive adults may fail to communicate expectations at all.
Encouraging Children to Modify Attitudes and Understanding
A young child's brain enables him to process information and make sense of the world. Children can act cooperatively when someone takes the time to present them with additional or different information in a way that is appropriate to the child's particular level of development. Focus on teaching children to understand why they should or should not do certain things. Be gently firm about the need for the children to act more appropriately, and make it clear that there is a reason for acting more appropriately. Be kind at the same time, though. Authoritative caregivers are firm and kind.
An effective way to do this is to help a child become more empathic. The goal is to help a child to understand gradually how his actions affect others and to be able to take somebody else's perspective. Like most learning, this occurs gradually over a period of years and begins in infancy. The goal here is not to induce excessive guilt or to shame a child. A good way to arouse empathy is to describe another's situation in an open, direct way that still validates the other person and that does not accuse him.
Mrs. Vargas said to Ralph, "I see from the job chart that it's your day to feed the gerbils. I'll bet that they're hungry. So get the gerbil food and I'll help you put it in their house."
Mr. Lee, the third-grade teacher, said to Rory, "Name-calling hurts feelings, Rory. Remember our class rules? That's right. Treat each other with respect."
Each adult avoided sarcasm, threats, and accusations while focusing on how the other person or animal might have felt. Arousing a child's empathy—having her "walk a mile in somebody else's shoes or tracks"—is a powerful technique because it encourages the child to examine and begin to understand how her behavior might well have affected someone else.
A common thread linking different forms of antisocial behavior, including child abuse, is the perpetrator's inability to take another person's perspective (Chalmers & Townsend, 1990). Preventing abuse involves helping abusive adults learn social perspective taking. Helping children become empathic, to take the perspective of others, then, is an important task for teachers and parents during early childhood.

Hello everyone,
Being new to the cake business here in the UK can anyone suggest a website or place where i could buy things like Satin ribbons and cake supplies in bulk?
any help you can give me is highly appreciated.
Google "cake decorating and supply". In the UK, there are FAR more options than here in the US.
If your knee doesn't touch the pavement, you're not leaning far enough.
...and just wondering, but aren't there any local Decorating supply stores you can visit?? I have nothing within 100 or more miles of me, but it seems every time I've looked, they're all over the UK. Oh what I wouldn't give to be able to actually WALK into a store....instead of LOGGINING into one. :)
Hi Lemontreecakes,
I don't use a single supplier - different suppliers are good for different items - but have recently ordered from Cake Stuff and also from The Cake Decorating Company (Google for the exact web addresses, they're both .co.uk) and have found them to be pretty good.
Lindy's cakes is also good for unusual bits and pieces.
Post if there's something specific you're looking for and I'll reply if I have a good source.
Squires Kitchen has a very good range but I find them quite expensive.
That's really interesting - I always thought it was the other way round and you were better served in the US! The other person's grass always looks greener? :)
I was going to post a similar question then saw this one...so I thought I would jump on here.
I love the Wilton's cupcake liners that look like flowers among other things they sell...is there a way to buy bulk or wholesale prices from them?
& I have googled for cupcake boxes that include the cupcake holders and have come up empty handed...I found a place in Australia...LOL....but nothing in the states....Any leads?
Thanks and best of luck to everyone!
PS: I agree with GixxerChick....oh how I would love to find a store to walk into to purchase items, that way I know what it looks like for sure...nothing more terrible then ordering something and getting it and it isn't what you thought it was....LOL..
"When you look at a cupcake, you've got to smile." ~ Anne Byrn
Really?? As many times as I've googled and bookmarked cake supplies, I would say that at minimum, 80% are located in the UK. I live right on the Mississippi River at the Iowa / Illinois border in what's referred to as the Quad Cities...a reasonably well populated group of cities(500k pop?)...and there are two places I can buy supplies. Both Michael's Crafts and True Value Hardware(weird right?) Each have one isle dedicated to WILTON supplies only. Anything else, I have to order (There are 3 or 4 good US Suppliers that I use). The Wilton school and store is about a 2 1/2 hour drive toward Chicago, but even still...Wilton only has so much as far as selection goes and personally I think their fondant, which tastes terrible, is also horrible for covering cakes. The other thing I'd LOVE to have is a supscription to a cake magazine, but they are ALL published in the UK. Please...if you know of any that are printed in the US let me know.
Try www.countrykitchensa.com I use them often and they DO have a fantastic selection of boxes and cupcake inserts.
Yep, I sure do miss my cake supply stores from when I lived in the UK. I live in the northern suburbs of Chicago and it's an hour north to Milwaukee, or an hour south to the other side of Chicago for the nearest one for me. It's probably better for my bank account that I'm not able to just walk in and be tempted by all the little bits and bobs though. Having to consider shipping costs keeps my online orders down too.
Oh thank you so much everyone. Isn't it funny I always feel there is much more option in the US. CatherineM I was looking to buy Satin ribbons in bulk. I looked at a few shops online but do not know if the ones on there are expensive or not.
I have ordered from cake craft shop in the past and they are excellent on delivery, but just wanted to know if there was a wholesale supplier anywhere.
Hello CatherineM, thank you for your reply. Would you know anywhere I could buy satin ribbons from which were not too expensive?
GixxerChick Thank you!
You're welcome! That site I linked also has lots of things in bulk. I buy 50 pounds of confectioners sugar...you can get your satin ribbons in bulk packages too. (assuming you mean the edible kind) I absolutely swear by them. Quick delivery, very friendly and accomodating staff...and if they don't stock something...ask, they can usually get it for you. Enjoy!
I recently bought organza ribbon from carnmeal.com (in Cornwall or Devon, if I remember correctly), and they were very reasonable, with quick service. I think they do satin too - it would be worth looking. The roll size wasn't too huge either.
I also sometimes buy from Keylink. They sell ribbons and lots of nice packaging, but are really more geared to chocolatiers. Like many other trade suppliers, they charge quite a hefty delivery fee if your order falls below a certain level.
I bought some big rolls of ribbon (for edging cake boards and the like) from Midpac.co.uk. They worked out at a very good rate per metre, but I think they came in 100m rolls which will take me decades to use up unless I suddenly expand my business hugely! If you're buying ribbon on-line try and get them to send a sample before you buy a massive roll. Some suppliers charge for this service but I think it's money well spent.
Finally (forgive me if this sounds obvious!!!), don't forget that most trade suppliers don't show the VAT on their advertised prices. It gets added at the end and is charged on carriage too, so what seemed like a bargain at first may turn out to be less so...
Good luck with it - most of the businesses you find on-line are pretty good to deal with and (fingers crossed!), I've generally had excellent service from all the zillions of suppliers I've used.
Oh CatherineM thank you so much for all your help. I appreciate it a lot :) x

We spend a lot of time at our cottage in south eastern West Virginia in the Alleghany Mts. WV is a very special place with wonderful people."
Bob Labozetta '69, MA '75 writes: "After 33+ years teaching at the secondary and lately the community college level, I have retired my chalk and white board pens, closed my grading software, and boxed my PowerPoint presentations and lessons. The last six years my wife, Susan, and I resided in Oregon, and last summer decided to chuck it all and travel full-time. We sold our home and most of our possessions, bought a motorhome, and now see the USA (but not in a Chevrolet). While Susan continues her art (sculpture), I may put my SCU education to work by writing who-knows-what. Figuring out how to brew beer on the road, fishing across this great land, and viewing historical sites that I discussed in the classroom but never took the opportunity to visit are prominent objectives as well."
Edward Jessen '69, the longest-serving Reporter of Decisions in the history of the California Supreme Court, has retired after 25 years of public service.

Darrell Igelmund '69 writes, "Sold my electronic test equipment company and patents (Byte Brothers, Inc. of Seattle) to Jewell Instruments/Triplett of Manchester, NH. The factory was relocated from Seattle to New Hampshire in August. A big thanks to Santa Clara's engineering school for helping this once young guy from New York get off to a good start and standing by me after I received an F in second-year physics (a victim of too much fun!)"
Mike Beresky '69 writes, "Retired US naval aviator. Worked in the cruise industry after retiring from the Navy. One daughter, married, with our first grandchild on the way. Now I travel the world with wife, Christine, of 32 years, mostly aboard cruise ships. The number of cruises we've taken over the years approximates our ages! Gulp!"

Jim Andre '69 writes, "Now retired, I am completing my third voyage teaching on Semester at Sea, Spring 2014. After working in accounting and owning a retail business for a few years, I began my teaching career at the University of Southern California in 1984. I live with my partner of 26 years, Paul Kellogg, in the Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles."

Anything happening on these? I am interested, since I have the capability to go full boil, and it'd be nice to have properly machined attachment points...
Sorry for the hold up guys! We have a bunch of couplers in and we're finishing up our prototype. After that is proven successful we'll be making tooling and starting to weld them into kettles.
Have you looked at welding spuds like Bobby M sells? They might be easier to weld on and thread deep enough for elements to seal. Just an idea....
Oh - this is a true NPS threaded coupler? Very cool. Great idea
Hi Ben, I am looking to make a 20 gal ebiab set up in the somewhat near future and this sounds right up my alley. Please let me know when you have these available!
The closer it is to plug and play the more interested I am. Electricity is an area where I get nervous with diy
Interested in a 15-20 pot with this and ground stud.

Quilting�the sandwiching of a warmth-provider like cotton or wool between two pieces of cloth� is almost as old as farming and it can be traced back to ancient Egypt and China. Today, about 14% of all households in the United States has a quilter; that translates into 21 million quilters.� Quilting is not just a hobby, it is big business.
Finally, when the top had been pieced and appliqu�d, I turned it over to Concessa Shearer of Wayland so she could work her magic.� A very talented artist/quilter, she machine quilted the top, the batting, and the backing into a completed quilt map.

I have no idea if this is the appropriate forum for this question, but here goes.
I want to plant a new garden in my backyard. I have an area of lawn that a tree fell on, and now the grass there is dead. I've never built a garden in this situation. What's the best way to go about it? Does it need to be a raised garden, or is that optional? If not a raised one, how do I prepare the soil? I know the grass roots have to be ripped out. I want mostly perennials but some annuals. I keep picturing the finished site as a raised mound covered with wood mulch. Thanks in advance for any advice! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Maybe I can help you. First, you do not need to remove the dead grass regardless of the design option you choose. Next is you can either have a flat or raised garden. The choice is yours, and having a raised garden only requires adding topsoil to the area where the garden will be located. Look in your local yellow pages under Topsoil or Landscape Contractors. Tell them the dimensions of the area and they can tell you how much you will need. With either a flat or raised garden, the easiest way to amend the soil is using the lasagna method. The link below will give you some information, plus do a search on the forums using the word 'lasagna' and you will find all the answers you need .... and keep you reading for hours!! :-) If you begin amending the soil now, it would be in good shape to plant in the spring. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Creating A Bed Without Tilling
Great! Thanks so much! This is definitely a big help. I see I have my work cut out for me, but I expected that. This is great. :-D Marcia |
Let me add one comment about the addition of top soil. It's important that you do not simply layer a non native soil on top of what you already have, but incorporate it in by tilling. Artificial soil layers can cause problems with drainage. You want that soil to be as homogenized as possible. |

In 1997, Kip and Dennise Barber sold their suburban home. But it wasn't because they were downsizing or moving to the city. Instead, they used the money to purchase a large, wooded plot of land in Grass Lake, which they cleared and planted with rows of grapevines. And thus, Lone Oak Vineyard Estate was born. Over the years, the couple worked to add more and more varietals to the vineyard, and today, their estate is home to 12 types of grapes spanning 25 acres. Handpicked at the peak of ripeness, each of the European grapes is transformed into estate wines, such as dry reds, semidry whites, and utterly sarcastic dessert wines.
After respective careers as a research scientist and an educator, Larry and Pam Satek were ready to settle into retirement. They anticipated relaxing on the plot of land purchased by Pam's great-grandfather in 1915—a verdant space that had matured from an apple orchard into an overgrown tangle, and which the Sateks turned into a commercial vineyard where other Indiana wineries bought their grapes. Now that they had escaped the daily grind, the Sateks' plan was to begin crafting their own wine. They did so with well-recognized aplomb, and soon, their "retirement business" was winning awards at the INDY International Wine Competition. In the past three years, almost 80% of their wines have medaled—the 2012 contest alone landed them 23 awards, including two Concordance Golds, which signify a unanimous decision by the judges. Their success is hardly surprising, though, if one looks at the descriptions of their wines. They deem their Old Vine red zinfandel "a searing of lightning and poetry," and liken the sweet Mango Mania to "sunshine in your glass."
The Sateks remain continually tapped into the community in an effort to share these wines, many of which are made from exclusively locally grown fruit. Their Twitter feed and Facebook page keep fans posted regarding new releases and suddenly sold-out varieties, and those hoping for a closer look can take a tour of the vineyard and bottling facilities. Additionally, special events such as dinners and pairing classes teach visitors how to expertly marry sips to bites without disappointing both of their families.
Fueled by the passion of winemaker and obsessive-compulsive grape-stomper Lisa Berry, Vintner's Cellar offers several wines fermented in Royal Oak. During your tasting, you'll get to sample five different wines from a diverse range of red, white, fruit, and specialty libations. You'll also get to snack on cheese, crackers, grapes, and crackery grapecheese creations while soaking in the lively décor of intermingling dark and vivid tones like a sponge tuxedo. The wine tasting is good for two people, so buddy up or carefully wheel a frenemy's bed to the cellar before he or she wakes up.
St. Julian is Michigan's oldest, largest and most awarded winery. This family-owned winery, founded by Mariano Meconi in 1921, is nestled in the picturesque fruit-growing region along the southern shore of Lake Michigan. Today, grandson, David Braganini, has adopted the family tradition of wine making.
The Kunhenn brothers spend every day of the week brewing and overseeing the production of beers at Kuhnhenn Brewing. That kind of dedication is what makes the brewery a well-deserving recipient of numerous brewing awards. In 2012, the highly sought-after DRIPA?or Double Rice IPA?took home a gold medal at the World Beer Cup, and the insanely popular Raspberry Eisbock has consistently been one of the highest-rated beers in the world since its release in 2004. Inside the brewery's lively tasting room, visitors can sip on flights to sample a variety of beers, or order larger glasses or pints of their favorite brew.
There aren't many restaurants anymore where you can sit in the same booth your parents might have dined in 40 years ago. But such is the case at Beggar's Banquet. The self-proclaimed restaurant and saloon took root in 1973, founded by Bob Adler and named after his favorite Rolling Stones album. The pub-like main dining area remains down-to-earth and casual, welcoming guests with wood-paneled walls and stained-glass windows. The names of "beggulars" are etched on gold plates above the bar, and local families celebrate milestones in an elegant room dedicated to private parties. All of this, coupled with the nostalgic atmosphere and tasty, homestyle dishes, has helped Beggar's Banquet earn praise as one of Lansing's best restaurants by 10Best.
Twenty ever-changing craft beers on tap and a wine list that ranges from malbecs to piesporters fuel the jovial ambiance. Cooks innovate creative spins on classic comfort food, adding muenster, havarti, and gouda to their baked mac 'n' cheese and a blueberry compote to char-grilled pork chops. They also serve breakfast until 2 p.m., the time each day when orange juice magically transforms into soda pop.

While world wonders about 'chemical Syria' threat, UAE fears cyber-attacks
Hackers and other cyber-criminals could make next year a difficult one for the UAE's plugged-in businesses and individuals, a cyber-security firm has warned.
Unveiling a list of the kind of online threats computer users across the country are likely to face in 2013, anti-virus expert Symantec noted that the country is already one of the "most highly spammed" nations on the planet, and claimed cyber-attacks cost the economy Dhs1.5 billion ($422 million) a year.
Warning organisations to be "vigilant", the firm's regional cloud and security practice manager Justin Doo said it anticipated a "steady rise" in attacks next year.
"In addition to traditional cybercrime, the UAE's high number of mobile devices per person creates a new avenue for increasingly sophisticated incidents," he said.
The firm warned web users to beware of a new trend - so called 'ransomware'.
"This infects a computer system and restricts access until a ransom is paid to the creator of the malware," Symantec warned, adding it that "goes beyond attempting to fool its victims; it attempts to intimidate and bully them".

Anchors - ugh! We don't have a windlass either, but just having bought the boat we currently have, haven't needed it...yet. That is on the list, but I haven't decided if it's right before or right after self-tailing winches for the cockpit.
Our club is offering what basically amounts to a 'Racing for Dummies' series this summer...they have the beer can races on Wednesday nights, and this year they're doing a Thursday night series for people looking to learn to race. This way we can do it without posing major risks to ourselves or others.
I've been racing with other folks for a few years now, but nothing too serious...and mostly I just stay out of the way. I've learned a lot that way, but I think it's time to get my feet a bit wetter.
Best of luck in your docking endeavors! We're moving to a slip across the pier from us, but this one isn't in a channel opposite other slips. This way I can back out and take as much room as I'd like. It'll be a good start. I too have the goal of being able to take the boat out without the assistance of my husband. Even if I never do it, I'd like to know that I can. I think he's a little nervous about this!

Scarlett Johansson Smooches New French Beau In the Big Apple (PHOTOS)
Talk about a French kiss!
Braving the cold weather in matching puffy jackets, Scarlett Johansson and her new French boyfriend Romain Dauriac couldn't resist stealing a smooch while hitting the streets of New York City.
Romantically linked since mid-November, this isn't the first time the couple have been caught engaging in some major PDA after meeting through a mutual friend. During a recent dinner date, Johansson — who split with ex Nate Naylor in October — and Dauriac "were very lovey-dovey and holding hands under the table all night." (via the New York Post)
While she's back on dating scene since her 2010 divorce, don't expect Johansson tie the knot anytime soon. "Weddings are hard work. I married way too young; I wasn't ready," the actress told the French edition of ELLE in April. "You open your arms to someone you love and promise to share everything with him -- it's frightening."Johansson is currently set to star in the Broadway revival of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, which opens on Jan. 17, 2013.
What do you think of Scarlett's new man? Sound off in the comments!
