K-Gr 2- A boy sits in a corner of his empty classroom, his misdeeds recorded on the blackboard. Without a bit of remorse, he muses, "Soon, the entire world will know of my big plans." He climbs to a mountaintop and shouts: "I got big plans! Big plans, I say!" This line becomes his mantra and is repeated many times. On the way down the mountain, he meets a mynah bird who becomes his sidekick. They head into the city, where the boy runs a big company. While flying its helicopter (with the mynah as pilot), he sees the local football team losing a game. They land the helicopter midfield and score a victory. The boy appoints himself mayor of the city and then President of the United States. There's a photograph of the White House inserted in the middle of Smith's wacky drawings. Next, it's off to the moon, where he does some redecorating. When he blasts off for his trip back to Earth, he spells out the refrain using moon rocks. Now the whole world knows. The last page shows the youngster still in the classroom corner. Smith's vivacious illustrations make this a book to pore over as there are new details to notice with each reading. The format is oversize, and the text and drawings appear in a variety of sizes and shapes. A funny and far-reaching selection.-Ieva Bates, Ann Arbor District Library, MI

This book is hilarious. By far my favorite childrens book. The only down side is that this is not a good bedtime book. My 3 year old loves this book, it leaves him cracking up laughing every time!! Unfortunately he gets too excited then it is hard for me to calm him back down to get in sleep mode. But just for reading during the day.....AWESOME!!!
As a parent you have to have a sense of humor and be very animated while reading this book. AWESOME BOOK ... MY FAVORITE!!!!
Posted January 27, 2009
AS bedtime approaches my five year old pulls his batman cape out of the closet, hangs it over his shoulders, sifts through his books until he reaches the end and finds "BIG PLANS". He places the book on my lap, insisting this is our first book for the night.

AS I read thru the pages, Sam gets excited anticipating his role. I turn the page. Sam jumps off onto his feet yelling "I HAVE BIG PLANS".

Talk about a book I can get my son involved with. My 5 year loves when we read "Big Plans". Even after booktime, and I leave him to fall to sleep, my son is yelling down the hall to me "I HAVE BIG PLANS".

As an adult I could not help but to chuckle as I read "Big Plans" the first few times. How many adults do we know who run around acting like the little boy in this book?

Great book- engaging, entertaining for adults and children, awesome illustrations. A must have for any boy or girl at bedtime or even when you want a book to get them out of a "funk". "Big Plans" is the perfect recipe for fun, laughter and smiles. Bonus adventure- try reading this with three 5 year olds wearing super hero capes.

We can't wait for our other books by Bob Shea to arrive.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Ranking the Patriots from 1 to 82
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- If you were to dissect the New England Patriots' roster and rank each player from 1-82, what would your list look like?
That was the task at hand, and it was a challenging one.
The first thought that came to mind was establishing some guidelines for the rankings. These rankings are primarily based on four factors:
1. Talent.
2. Importance in the short and long term (which projects development).
3. Positional value.
4. Economic value.
The top 53 aren't necessarily the projected players who will make the final roster coming out of training camp, as a younger player might sometimes be kept over a veteran, even though the veteran could contribute more in the short term. Also, special teams contributions can often be a deciding factor when forming the final 53-man roster.
Layering the roster this way provides a different lens through which to view the team, and also can spark debate as to which players are ranked too high or too low. The plan will be to revisit the list as training camp unfolds.
2010 Patriots Player Rankings
Top 10
This is another reminder of why Welker's recovery -- and when he might return -- will be a big story. Vollmer is ranked ahead of any other offensive lineman as he projects as a starter at right tackle in 2010 and the team's likely left tackle of the future, protecting Tom Brady's blind side. Butler also finds himself in the top 10 because he's a likely starter at the premier left cornerback spot. Although guard isn't a premier position, seeing Mankins in this area highlights his importance to the team.
Nos. 11-20
Edelman's (pictured) presence shines a spotlight on his remarkable rise from a 2009 seventh-round draft choice learning to play receiver to a player who will be relied upon as a key cog in the offense, especially if Welker is not ready for the start of the regular season. Chung is right there as well, as the Patriots will be counting on their top draft choice from '09 to emerge.
Nos. 21-30
At one point this offseason, the Patriots had a bare cupboard at tight end, but now the position is stocked with a trio that falls into this area on the roster. All three should make the club, and all three have a good chance of being active on the 45-man game-day roster. Gronkowski (pictured) gets top billing because of his draft status (second round), although he might not contribute as much as the others right away.
Nos. 31-40
One of the intriguing position battles in training camp will be at inside linebacker, where Guyton (pictured), McKenzie and Spikes will vie for playing time next to Mayo. At this point, it's a challenge to see how that will shake out, but all three should be on the club, contributing in some form.
Nos. 41-50
Special-teams value starts to come into focus around this layer of the roster. Aiken (pictured) has served as a special-teams captain, while Woods tied for the team-high in special-teams tackles last season. It's a challenge to project a veteran like Lewis who has yet to play in a Patriots-type scheme, so he could shoot up the ranks, or down, once training camp begins.
Nos. 51-60
More special-teams competition shows up this area (Arrington, Lockett, Murrell), as well as the team's continuing process of developing young offensive linemen. This is the area where players project to be on the roster bubble, and where coaches are often projecting development when considering whether to devote a roster spot to them.
Nos. 61-70
Wheatley (pictured), the 2008 second-round draft choice, could have a tough time making the club if everyone is healthy. As a projected fifth corner at this point, special-teams contributions will be key, and he hasn't been a major factor in that area. Williams' versatility to play fullback could make him a sleeper candidate to rise up the ranks.
Nos. 71-82
The Patriots drafted 12 players in 2009 and another 12 in 2010, which will make it tough for any undrafted player to break through. This group is comprised mostly of rookie free agents, including former Brown receiver Farnham (pictured), and since they face long odds for a roster spot, a more realistic goal is sticking on the practice squad.

Any advice is appreciated.
Ive been living in my new home for 2 months. At settlement I had a document written up that both Gemcraft Homes ( builder) and myself signed. It stated that the porch on the home would be rebuilt and the work would be completed no later then 30 days. This I thought was the largest task they had on satisfying me, though apparently they seem to be having trouble even getting me a screen for a single window..anyways....
They started the rebuild but my porch,wich is still not finished , looks like something on a shack! None of the work has been supervised and I have serious doubts that they are qualified. They have used some of the "OLD" materials in the rebuild, etc.
I am very upset and the supervisor is just not getting the work done and what has been done is not being done right. I have tried to contact his boss but they will only talk amongst themselves therefore not return my calls.
Please tell me there is protection out there for me! Is there anyone I can call that could come look at my 2 month old shack and declare that this builder is lowering the standard quality of my home with thier shoddy work.
This builder, GEMCRAFT, is supposed to be highly regarded in Maryland, Pa and DE.. though my house would prove different.
Any advice on who to call ( besides my lawyer) would be appreciated.
thank you

I am currently exporting data from App Engine (to csv files) so that a few graduate students can analyze and build models based on the data. The data that I am exporting consists of non-confidential properties and the entity keys for a few models that DO contain confidential data (email addresses, names, etc.). My goal is to produce a dataset that can be shared and analyzed publicly without exposing any private data in the other entities that I'm sharing the keys for.
I started off planning to encrpyt all the entity keys to annonymize the data, but then I realized that the unencrypted keys might not be of any value to anyone as long as my app never exposes any data based on entity keys. My app only exposes personally indentifyable data based on the id for each entity.
Is there any reason to be concerned about sharing App Engine keys for entities? Is there anything that anonymous users can do with entity keys if there aren't any urls that return any information based on the keys?

The X-51A Waverider was released from a B-52 Stratofortress off the southern California coast and its scramjet engine accelerated the aircraft to Mach 6, and it flew autonomously for 200 seconds before losing acceleration. At that point the test was terminated.
The Air Force said the previous record for a hypersonic flight was 12 seconds.
"We are ecstatic to have accomplished many of the X-51A test points during its first hypersonic mission," said Charlie Brink, an X-51A program manager with the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.
"We equate this leap in engine technology as equivalent to the post-World War II jump from propeller-driven aircraft to jet engines," he said.
The Waverider was built for the Air Force by Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne and Boeing Co.
Joe Vogel, Boeing's director of hypersonics, said, "This is a new world record and sets the foundation for several hypersonic applications, including access to space, reconnaissance, strike, global reach and commercial transportation."
Four X-51A cruisers have been built for the Air Force, and the remaining three will be tested this autumn.
"No test is perfect," Mr Brink said, "and I'm sure we will find anomalies that we will need to address before the next flight."

One Easter Egg in Portal 2 i'm sure is The singing Turrets practicing in Chapter 3. I think they went on youtube and watched the ending and then started practicing for the ending :D.

Fast growing hardy screening
Hi, I'm looking for a hardy screening bush or tree that would grow well in partial shade and a heavy clay soil. Looking for something between 6-12 ft. I was thinking about either a dogwood or cranberry. Any suggestions? thanks
I'm not familiar with cranberry but love my dogwoods. They grow slow so I would get as big as I could afford. In heavy shade they also don't get as full as they do in the sun. Their natural habitat is clay soil so no problem there. They are very pretty interlaced with redbuds which bloom at the same time.
If you don't mind it spreading like crazy, you could get some bamboo. The phyllostachys spread more than the clumping kind. Check out the bamboo forum if you are interested. but, it can be invasive unless you put in a barrier. They're also evergreen too and grow way faster than any pine trees do.

we were there for 4 nights and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There was nothing to want in the way of cookware, kitchenware etc. and our travelling picnic basket was never used as it was all in house. - Anonymous
Room was very comfortable and clean. The reception staff were most helpful when we extended our booking for another day - and the lady who was on duty for the breakfast service, I think her name was Lou, was great. - Anonymous
All I can say everything was wonderful, it was the most relaxing place I have ever stayed and I would go there again, the staff were really friendly and went out of there way to help me, with books for sailing and the limo to take me to the coach station, when the car was late Gez was going to take me herself. the villa was spotless and everything worked. the whole place was wow all the and all the wild life. - Irene
* We liked the position of the hotel room on the ground floor with a
walk out to the pool
* I loved my bedroom and ensuite, my mum had the other bedroom. my bed was very comfortable
* we loved the value and the attitude of the guys at Pier Resort reception, who managed to get us our requested second night for a steal compared to the normal rate. This above all else made the two night stay sensational. - Anonymous
Cost for a 2 bedroom apartment for two days stay was excellent. On the esplanade, next to an Italian restaurant. Great! Local RSL pick up and return, door to door. Facilities, balcony, provision of a bbq pack were great! - Anonymous
The space afforded in the apartment was a pleasant surpise, the level of cleanliness I havent seen for a while and the close location to the Marina was ideal. I was told it wasnt the touristy part of town which suited us very well. Staff were brilliant too and were happy to pass on insider knowledge. I was sad to leave! - Anonymous
I liked that the location was great, walking distance to the marina and the esplanade and a 5 minute drive to a large supermarket. Despite this it was quiet and uncrowded. - Anonymous
Everything about the grange was awesome....so roomy and management was very nice and friendly....would definitely stay there again next time we plan on going to Hervey Bay. - Anonymous
Excellent convenient waterfront location- irish pub next door, cafe next to the pub
Liked the sauna, each room had close access to outdoor seating, pool,barbecue facilities, washing lines, unit had a laundry, TV movie channels Manager acted quickly to try to identify and fix problem with pool heating. Very helpful and friendly service. I would stay here again - Anonymous

Help me design simple, system on budget?
I'm just starting a full renovation on home in New Orleans that's still gutted since Hurricane Katrina. I've got the electrician and HVAC systems going in now, which means soon it'll be time to run speaker wire and close in walls. I've already got a surround sound system (receiver + speakers) that I'm pretty pleased with and will bring to the new house, but I'd like to add distributed audio to the rest of the house while I've got the chance. My wish list is fairly short:
--Audio distribution to 4-6 zones (max run from central A/V cabinet is about 30 ft)
--Independent volume control from each zone
--2 speakers/zone (with exception of great room, which will have 7.1 surround)
--simple, inexpensive equipment
I'm very comfortable with a/v wiring in general but have never had the need to learn about distributed audio options. Anybody have suggestions for equipment or a good place to start?

I dig it
I like it, but I'd probably prefer the old Daft Punk (of course) and they'll play the hits. I'm sure they'd be fun to see live. I'm guessing they will entertain similar to the Flaming Lips. If I was in the So Cal area I'd suggest we setup a Liberty tent and use the music festival as a vehicle to spread the ideas of liberty. Now that would be fun!
I think you should go to Coachella. It's probably not as cool as the Gorge, but that's a tough venue to beat. I'm sure glad I went to all the music festivals I went to before I had to grow up ;) . I've got 5 years on ya and let me tell ya, it's definitely tougher to justify going to music festivals. If you go then you should give us a report on the festival.
The founders would be ashamed at us for what we are putting up with.

Slovakian artist Martin Vargic has created a map of the world including 1,800 stereotypes of highlighting the absurdity of people's views of certain parts of the world.
Vargic chooses these stereotypes for the island of Ireland:
- Giant's Causeway
- Birthplace of Titanic
- Grimy Leprechauns
- Bar Fighters
- Irish Pub
The Map of Stereotypes even brands the Irish Sea as the "Ginger Sea". However the stereotypes he picks for other countries are equally as shocking and silly including "YE OLD AMERICA" for Britain, "PUBES" for France, "Wolf of Wall Street" for New York, to mention but a few.
The Independent reports that the beautiful map took the artist three months to complete and another month and a half adding the labels.
Speaking to The Week Vargic stressed that the Map of Stereotypes does not reflect his personal opinions but is rather a parody of the most prevalent stereotypes and pop culture references in Western society.
He said the "majority of stereotypes are basically oversimplifications and, though they are based on a real phenomenon, it is wrong to associate them with the entire country, nation, race or other group of people."
The full map is well worth a browse. You can find it here.

From Batman to Birdman
by Mike Stanz
posted Aug 1 2014 5:00AM
Michael Keaton was the first actor to reboot the
movie franchise. Many still think he was the best- even if he was eclipsed by Nicholson's Joker.
That was 25 years ago, and there have been a handful of movie Batmen since.
Now Keaton's back in
– a dark comedy that has him as a washed-up actor famous for playing a superhero in the past who's trying to reclaim his glory days by putting together a Broadway play.
Check out the trailer – the movie looks intense. It's due out in theaters in mid-October.
If you want a grittier ride, check out the
international trailer
that was released yesterday.
Warning: it is definitely NSFW!

Accelerating Growth Microsoft's strategic rationale for deal announced with Nokia on September 3, 2013 This presentation contains forward-looking statements, which are any predictions, projections or other statements about future events based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties. The potential risks and uncertainties include, among others, that the expected financial and other benefits from the Nokia transaction may not be realized, including because of: our inability to close the transaction, or Nokia's inability to repay the financing should it take down the financing and the transaction doesn't close; the response to the acquisition by the customers, employees, and strategic and business partners of the Nokia's Devices & Services business; the extent to which we achieve anticipated operating efficiencies and cost savings, and anticipated smart device and mobile phone market share targets; the overall growth rates for the smart device and mobile phone markets; ongoing downward pressure on prices for mobile devices; unanticipated restructuring expenses; any restrictions or limitations imposed by regulatory authorities; the impact of Microsoft management and organizational changes resulting from acquisition of Nokia's Devices & Services business; the ability to retain key Nokia personnel; our effectiveness in integrating the Nokia Devices & Services business with Microsoft's businesses; the response of existing Microsoft smart devices original equipment manufacturers; risks related to the Nokia Devices & Services international operations; and our ability to realize our broader strategic and operating objectives. Actual results could materially differ because of the factors discussed above, in the comments made during this conference call, and in the risk factors section of our Form 10-K, Form 10-Qs, and other reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

I'm using Entity Framework O/R mapper from Microsoft and using entity classes (generated classes that are mapped to DB objects) as a business objects. Is this OK? Please state your cons or pros. What to do in a case of WCF communication between business layer and presentation, how to send those objects as data members?
I am using EF in this fashion and one nice feature is that generated entities are partial classes, allowing them to be extended in a way that is fairly protected from regeneration issues.
Also take a look at this link on MSDN which describes some common usage scenarios with EF in regards to Business Logic.
First off, with 11k question views at the time of this writing, I'm a little surprised by the lack of answers and with all due respect, the quality of the answers, given a fairly straightforward question.
So, now that I've vented a little bit, I'd like to address this question(s) because I think that it applies even more so today with the recent release of Entity Framework Code-First.
A couple points of clarification before I began:
That said, onto your EF as business objects questions...
Sorry, there simply is no right or wrong answer here. It depends on what your objective is and what you conclude to be the most reasonable design while fully understanding the advantages and disadvantages of doing so.
I'm glad you asked! I'll be happy to answer and my hope here is that given the pros and cons you are able to make an informed decision as to whether or not you believe using EF for your business objects is "OK". Typically, I'd break out the pros and cons making it easy to "digest", however, I don't think that is appropriate here because I think we'd be doing an injustice to such a very interesting topic which is also near and dear to my heart.
First off, let me talk technically for a moment… You are able to use EF objects as your business objects there is nothing technically preventing you from doing so. As a matter of fact, EF Code-First (CF) makes this incredibly easy by allowing you to create POCOs and giving you the ability to apply data annotations for simple validation as well as implementing IValidatableObject for more complex validation. Pretty cool, eh?
Therein lies the heart of the discussion.
EF, or any ORM, is designed to support data management. Its main responsibility is data and therefore the objects you create are data centric. So, if you are attempting to also design your objects by behavior then you have a little bit of a conundrum on hand. In a nutshell this conundrum is called impedance mismatch. Picture this; you have two required use cases in your application:
If using EF (any flavor), or any ORM for that matter, you might gravitate towards using the same "User" object to handle the ability to save a user as well as fetching a user to pull the subset of read-only fields. You probably do so for one of a few reasons:
There are advantages and disadvantages of doing so and you could look at this is either a positive or negative way depending on your opinion.
I suppose if you believe in the normalization of code over behavior than you have succeeded greatly. You were able to limit the amount of code, potentially saving time, by writing a single object to handle your data and business use cases for that entity.
And I suppose if you believe in the normalization of behavior over code than you have failed miserably. By saving on code you have sacrificed designing objects by their responsibilities potentially making it difficult to manage and subsequently increasing the cost to maintain.
Regardless of your opinion we can probably all agree that this business object has taken on multiple responsibilities and the behavior (not data!) of the object is secondary at best. Its main responsibility is the management of data and its secondary responsibilities are the processing the business rules, both simple & complex, involved with editing a user and displaying read-only user information. In object-oriented design (OOD), if the design of an object is characterized by its identity and behavior, than this object might be one confused individual as it doesn't adhere to the very definition of OOD.
Something to consider from a technical standpoint, any time you request the user object you inherit a significant amount of overhead. This might include things such as all the properties and business rules when only displaying a subset of read-only information.
So what does all of this have to do with whether or not I should use EF to represent my business objects?
Well… While it is technically possible, there are differing philosophies (some good, some bad) on whether or not you should use EF, or any ORM, to represent your business objects. I gave a synopsis aimed at the heart of these philosophies above, but they are documented in much more detail by individuals such as Rocky Lhotka and Martin Fowler.
The direction you take will most likely depend on the application and from a philosophical view, may depend on how much of an idealist or pragmatist you are. That said, I am not implying that one being an idealist or pragmatist correlates to either using EF for business objects or not – it'll simply impact your take on this.
As of this writing, indications by Microsoft are that EF are built to handle business logic and, right or wrong, they appear to moving more in that direction. EF is ever evolving and certain technical limitations are being lifted such that EF may eventually be used to satisfy the best of both worlds. In other words, eventually you may be able to have your cake and eat it too.
Hope this helps.
Off to answer a question on whether or not persistence ignorance with an ORM is ridiculous considering the purpose behind it is to manage data. :-) Sorry, I couldn't resist!
The Entity framework was designed for the entity objects to be used as business objects, but you should keep in mind that the business objects will be tied to O/R technology as well as the EDM model. In EF 1.0, there wasn't any support for persistence-ignorance scenarios, but support was added in 4.0. You can implement interfaces, if you don't want to use any of their base classes.
As of .NET 3.5 SP1, they should also be usable as paramater and return types in WCF service methods without any additional code.
In my experience, we've used EF objects within the business layer of our application, but when we make the transition into the presentation layer through our WCF service layer, we will create view objects from the EF objects.
In our case, only the view is passed to the presentation layer. We do this to control how the data is presented and apply defensive validation for data coming in from the presentation layer.
In the case of ueing EF objects in the WCF transaction, you'll lose the object context that the EF object was associated. There are some efforts in CodePlex that try to help with this but I havn't kept up with their efforts.
Two limitations to be aware of that I have run into are:
These are generally not show-stopper items (for navigation properties we just don't use inheritance on entity framework, for now), but might be something of interest to yourself. I'm holding out hope that a future release will enable both of these items.
Can't you just re-attach the objects if they lose their original object context? You'd need to handle concurrency-issues yourself though.
I wouldn't recommend using EF objects as DataContract objects for WCF, as you'd tie very strongly your implementation of entity objects to web service clients, change will be hard to do in the future, harder the more clients you plan on having.
