Bronies of Northern California - BONC Message Board › A how to guide to make life size pony cut outs!
|Victor D.

Norwalk, CA
This is Celestia that was put together by a fantastic group at a recent meetup.
Want a life size pony cut out? Here's how to make one!
-This is a guide in progress. It will be updated every so often.
So you want to make a life size pony cut out(s)?
Here's What you will need.
- Paper
- Printer Ink
- Printer
- Programs
- Foam Board, Cardboard or any thick board.
- Spray adhesive or Glue Sticks
- X-acto Knife
- Tape - preferably clear packaging tape
- Safety pins (optional)
- Determination
OPTION 1 "Make life size pony cutouts with what you got"
1. Your current printer -current ink- With letter size paper (8.5X11)
2. The program you will need is
- Adobe photoshop (any version) for resizing, scaling and pixel ratio.
- Adobe Illustrator (any version) for printing in Tile Printing.
OR the free alternatives
- Gimp in place of Adobe Photoshop
- Posteriza or blockposters.com instead of Adobe Illustrator
3. Foam board for making the backbone of the cut out. Dollar Tree has them for $1 each.
OR Cardboard or whatever you want to glue your pony prints on.
4. Spray adhesive - to apply the sticky stuff evenly for the best result.
Glue Stick - to apply on edges hard to reach corners on paper.
5. Xacto Knife - To cut precise pony shapes. (Just be careful with the sharp edges.)
- Scissors can work but will not provide the precise cutting with Foam boards.
6. Tape - To hold the foam poster boards together. Packaging Tape for best results.
7. Safety Pins - To hold the prints in place for glue application.
The steps
1. Once you got the materials and programs ready. You need to find the pony you want to print.
- Best sources is the internet. :P I got all mine from deviantart.com
- The general rule to get the right picture is to use vectors with the highest pixel Dimensions 4000 pixels wide or tall
the higher the resolution the better quality the print will be. Its always better to shrink
large images than to enlarge small images.
2. Next is to prepare the image (If you don't have Adobe Photoshop, Gimp is your best alternative. Simply go to image tab then select Print size to do the next steps for the same results.)
Once you got your pony. Use photoshop to edit the size and resolution
- Turn on photoshop, drag and drop you pony in it.
Select Image tab
Select Image Size
Now Go back to Image Size again.
Next you can change the size of the image by width or height make sure its measured by inches.
Just Reselct Resample image and chose how many inches in width you want your pony to be.
For this Lyra I chose Width - 24.272 inches.
I try to have consistent pony sizes so I compare all other ponies by their head size, simply overlapping one another in different Layers.
I refer to this scale to get the general idea on how large they could be.
Once you selected your size. Save in PNG format to preserve the HQ Vector format and colorless background.
3. Next you need to print. (If you don't have Adobe Illustrator, you may use the free alternatives, but it will require different steps, such as using PDF format to print out the pony pieces.)
I use Adobe Illustrator to print out in tile format which retains the life size pony by printing out in pieces like a puzzle with paper pages.
First Open Adobe Illustrator
Select File tab, select New.
Then Drag and drop your pony, move the image to the center.
Next Select File tab, then Print.
Its Very Important to have Overlap On and at least 0.6 inches. If not, you will have inconsistent edges or missing parts between pages.
Have your letter size pages ready for print. You should have best quality color selected in your printer preferences. This Lyra will require 12-14 pages in total but need about 20 to process. Then Print!
4. Next you need to prepare the image layout
You will need an X-acto Knife or scissors to cut off the borders.
Only cut off the Left and Top part of paper. You will need the right and the bottom border to attach other pieces.
If you use an X-acto Kife be sure to use a metal ruler. Wood gets in the way of incision.
This lyra is bigger than 1 posterboard so you will need to cut and tape extra poster board pieces to fit her.
Using packaging tape will hold it together but will not prevent bending. I'll show you how to reinforce your cut out after the cut out part.
Pin down Lyra to make sure you print went correctly and everything is aligned properly
5. Glue down your image using Spray adhesive for best results. Keep a good distance from the paper when spraying, spray too close or too much will leave a permanent spot on you pony image.
(WARNING: Use with adult supervision, this is a flammable spray, don't inhale or get in eyes, use with caution.)
Start gluing the images in columns from left to right
6. Once you let the glue set for 5 minutes, use a X-acto Knife to cut out the outline of your pony.
After cutting out your pony, glue any loose edges of your image pieces with a glue stick.
7. And there you have a life size pony cut out.
8 To prevent unwanted bents between poster boards, glue and tape extra poster board strips on creases on the back for reinforcement.
9. Your done, but not yet satisfied? Like everything in life your first times are never the best. Try, try again.
Your next one will be better. I bet it will be.

OPTION 2 "Make Pony Prints like I (Victor Daworker)do."
Its pretty much the same procedure but I use Plotter paper - A roll of 11inch width paper that can make work easier. Its expensive but worth it.
First you need a wide format printer, new ones are too expensive so I use a 10 year old printer. its deskjet 1220c this printer is a god send to me.
But there's a catch. Since its an old printer it only works with Windows XP. If you try to print with windows Vista or newer or Mac, the custom option won't be available, so 11X 10inch - 11 X 50inch won't work on new Os.
If you still use Xp its worth it but if you got a newer Opererating System, use Virtual Machine to run an Xp operating system, in any new OS even Apple computers.
Second you need the toner. Remanufactured toners are your best option for budget. Warning - there is a chance of low quality ink so look for reviews. I bought from this site http://www.meritline.... They been decent. One set has provided enough for 20 pony prints.
Third is the Paper. The type of paper I use is Plotter Paper - Engineering Bond - which is just plain paper. Its a Roll of 11inch X 500 feet. These are really long. I could only buy them in packs of 4. And 1 roll provided 16 life size ponies (including Celestia) I printed and plenty are left.
I bought them here http://www.plotterpap...
Its the cheapest I can find for the amount of paper you get with it.
Since its longer paper its less work and easier to put together, but still tricky.
If any questions, concerns, statements, complaints, praise, ect. please post a reply on thread. Tyvm

Pro-Gadhafi protesters converge on UN chief
CAIRO (AP) - A group of protesters angry about international intervention in Libya blocked the path of U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon as he left a meeting at the Arab League.
Ban had finished a meeting with the Arab League chief and was leaving the organization's headquarters in Cairo when dozens of protesters converged on him and his security detail.
The protesters, carrying pictures of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi and banners critical of the U.S. and U.N., blocked his path as he tried to walk away from the building. Ban returned inside and apparently drove out of the league from another exit.
On Sunday, Arab League chief Amr Moussa questioned Arab participation in the coalition after saying the international attacks went beyond the mandate to impose a no-fly zone.

The sad tale of the lollipop man who was told he couldn't high-five anymore
A crossing patrol with whom a child interacts every day becomes a benign, trusted authority figure in his or her life
A 65 year old crossing patrol man has resigned from Plymouth City Council employment because he was facing suspension. What terrible thing had he done? Molested a child? Caused a traffic accident? Stolen from his charges?
No, it was nothing like that. On the contrary Bob Slade got on so well with the children he shepherded across the road that he and they had got into the friendly habit of high-fiving each other. In practice this simply meant that the children cheerfully patted the hand which Mr Slade was holding out to stop the traffic.
But now he's out of a job. And Manadon Vale Primary School has no lollipop man or woman to see the children across the road although the appointment of a replacement is in hand.
Plymouth City Council argues that Mr Slade was not giving his full attention to the job – although he has done it without an accident for four years – and that a crossing patrol's free hand must be fully extended as a clear signal to traffic.
Now of course there must be two sides to this matter. I know only what the Plymouth Herald has reported because parents who think the council's attitude to Mr Slade is absurd have gone crossly to the local press. There are, obviously, other parents or members of the public, who thought that Mr Slade was behaving irresponsibly and reported him.
However, it does seem pretty draconian to hound a decent man (crossing patrols are CRB checked just as teachers and teaching assistants are) for establishing a rapport with the children he helps to look after.
A crossing patrol with whom a child interacts every day becomes a benign, trusted authority figure in his or her life. The patrol knows the children and they know him or her, often by name. Some children have few such people in their everyday experience apart from in school. Many families and neighbourhoods are regrettably dysfunctional.
Anyone who can help to rectify the balance, even just for a few minutes a day, is a real bonus which is why the neighbourhood policeman known to all is such a loss. Some primary school children – watch them outside almost any schools – feel really quite affectionate towards the crossing patrol who is often an older, quasi-grandparental figure. A second part-time career with a lollipop supplements many a meagre pension.
Obviously the lollipop man or woman's most important function is to get the children to the other side of the road safely. But if he or she can also provide a bit of warmth and human interest then it should be encouraged not punished.

Rapping medic teaches injured kids to take care of their casts, cracks up TODAY
Rapping staff sergeant drops some rhymes on TODAYPlay Video

Tamron's Tuesday trend: Looking sexy in sneakers
How to find the right doctor for you and your family
When it comes to teached injured kids proper cast maintenance, a rapping Army medic tells them all they need to know in just a few rhymes.
Army Staff Sgt. Shareef Stokely, based in Fort Drum, N.Y., has come up with what he has dubbed the "Cast Rules Jingle" in which he raps about making sure the cast doesn't get dirty or cause infection. Like any good rapper, he broke out his rhymes right on the spot by request in a Skype interview on TODAY's Take Thursday, reminding those with casts, "Don't hate, just elevate."
A video of Stokely performing the rap to 8-year-old Jayden Bennett, who broke her right foot at a playground near her home on Monday, has already gotten more than 400,000 views on YouTube. Bennett's mother, Jessica, filmed the rap on her iPhone and posted it online.
"The medic was AMAZING,'' Jessica Bennett told TODAY in an email. "He was actually singing some Disney tunes before he even started putting the cast on her just to make her feel more comfortable."
"It's a whole team effort,'' Stokely said. "Me and my crew, we put it together pretty well."
"What kid wouldn't want to go to that doctor?" said Willie Geist Thursday. "I'd break a leg just to go see him. He's the best."
A 20-year military veteran who has served in Iraq and Afghanistan, Stokely came up with the idea when a friend and fellow medic gave him detailed cast maintenance instructions.
"When he gave his instructions, he just rattled off a bunch of things, so I looked at him, and I said, 'OK, I got something I can do,''' Stokely said. "So I took leave, and the time that it took for me to fly from Hawaii back to New York, I wrote the rhyme, and it took me another week to get the courage to sing in front of people."
Now that he's comfortable performing, there may be some "Cast Rules Jingle" remixes on the way for future patients.
"I change the words around,'' Stokely said before laughing. "I'm right now in the process of making another one, but I'm having a hard time remembering."

Audie Award Finalist, Narration by the Author or Authors, 2014
Audie Award Finalist, Fiction, 2014
Sussex, England: A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. He is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock. He hasn't thought of Lettie in decades, and yet sitting by the pond (a pond that she'd claimed was an ocean), the unremembered past comes flooding back. Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie - magical, comforting, wise beyond her years - promised to protect him, no matter what.
A groundbreaking work from a master, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out. A stirring, terrifying, and elegiac fable as delicate as a butterfly's wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark.
©2013 Neil Gaiman (P)2013 HarperCollinsPublishers
I like to listen while I exercise, do housework, knit, etc., so I usually prefer a light read for an audiobook.
"Well written and imaginative"
The writing. Neil Gaiman is an excellent author. He also has great insight into what it was like to be a kid.
This is a short book but a little gem.
"Great story - Great narrator (and author!)"
Neil Gaiman tells a wonderful story about a man looking back to a period that was filled with magic in his boyhood.
Neil Gaiman's descriptions of the Hamstocks and their home and farm are so vivid that they make you feel as if you are right there with them in their cozy, farmhouse kitchen. Neil's voice and descriptions have led me to listen to this book several times.
I am a working mom who loves to squeeze in listening to books while walking, doing chores or commuting.
"Vey Disappointing"
No. It was a pointless book.
I have no favorite. The entire book was senseless make believe.
The man who committed suicide.
The ratings seemed to indicate that this book was worth reading, so I tried it. It was a terrible waste of time and money. I am not sure why people are entertained by pointless fantasy, but I found the entire book boring. The author is a pretty good narrator though, so I cannot complain about that.
"The Deep End"
I feel bad giving this a 4* for story. It's just that it's on a Gaiman Scale. It's not my favorite of his books. On an absolute scale, it is definitely a 5*. His grocery lists probably are worth at least 3* on an absolute scale.
The story is the adventure tale we probably all wish that had happened to us when we were kids. Something exciting that initiates us into the world of adults, instead of the boring and slightly horrible way it happens to most of us.
As for narration, I pretty much want Neil Gaiman to come to my house every night and read me a story.
Page Turner, Avid Listener, Life-long Student.
"Typically Wonderful Gaiman"
Most definitely, the simple magic of the story is enchanting and the cadence with which Gaiman reads lulls and excites at the same time.
"Gaiman's great self-narration drives this home!"
While many pro narrators (i.e. the phenomenal Simon Vance) do character voices much better than Neil does, there's a special sense of authenticity when the author does his own work. You know you're getting exactly what he wanted! Neil's narration is extremely good, particular his sense of pacing, and the soft character of his voice. The story is also pure Gaiman, and fun blend of the quaint, and the mysterious. A very enjoyable, if not too deep, five hours or so.
"Lovely First Listen"
I'll readily admit that I've always been a Neil Gaiman fan, but hearing him read his own work was *quite* a treat for me. I just started listening to audiobooks on long runs, and this book definitely helped me get to 7 miles! Gaiman is a masterful narrator. :)
Probably anything that involves Magic Realism: Neverwhere, The Golem & The Jinni, Night Circus
Haven't listened to Gaiman read his own novels but will continue to!
Definitely made me smile at times, and I certainly had a hard time turning it off at parts when I was finished with my run.
Lawyer, reader, writer, performer. Just love listening to books and talking about it!
"Move over Grendel's Mother and the Weird Sisters!"
Why do I keep thinking of a boy Matilda or Beowolf on steroids with a bit of Narnia and the Weird Sisters built in? Or maybe it is a bit like Big Fish, only with witches. And I can't figure out the appropriate age. Is it for adults? Is it for pre-teens? Maybe it is just for anyone with a good old imagination.
An adult man returns to the street of his childhood, and soon tells you of a come of age adventure that revs into the impossible. Turns and twists with high fantasy drama and good verses evil, and high anticipation. The monster really does remind me of Grendel's mother with some cool contemporary twists sans Grendel. And the witches are a threesome. If that floats your boat, pick this up.
"Odd but amazing!"
I think the Audible version and the print version were just as good.
The concept of someone giving their life for you, or sacrificing in any way for you, and then determining if it was worth it, and if you had done something meaningful with your life is awesome.
Joel Szerlip
"The Story at the End of the Lane"
The Ocean at the End of the Lane is the second Neil Gaiman book I've read. The first was American Gods which I got around a quarter of the way through and gave up. I loved the concept of the book but just couldn't get into it. I wasn't ready to give up on Neil Gaiman as so many of my friends and fellow readers seem to love his writing and had great things to say about this novel.
The Ocean at the End of the Lane is different then any other novel I've read before. First its closer to a short story then a novel. There isn't a ton of character development, and the story just jumps in and asks you to go along for the ride. I'm going to avoid talking much about the story because its really hard to explain, but in short it reminds me of a childhood fantasy novel with major adult overtones.

Ogden apartment fire sparks yet another tragedy for one family
OGDEN — At least three families are homeless after a fire ripped through their apartment building early Sunday morning.
The tenants of three separate units, which included six adults and three children, made it out of the building safely, but when the sun came out, they saw they had little left, according to local Red Cross representative Laina Roundy.
The fire began sometime after 2 a.m. Sunday, completely destroying two units located on the 300 block of 28th Street.
"Everything they have is in there — their clothes, their toys, everything," apartment resident Dustin Ellsworth said. The apartment he shared with his wife and two small children, along with everything in it, was charred.
"It's just hard," he said.
Investigators believe the fire, which caused $250,000 in damages, was sparked by an electrical problem in the attic of one of the units.
Ellsworth said his wife had heard something outside and woke him up.
"I came out here and this whole top part was engulfed in flames," he said. "I went back inside, got my kids, wrapped them in a blanket, got her out and got out."
The family had lived in the apartment for about four months. They were just getting back on their feet after they were both laid off from their jobs around Christmastime.
Another family in West Jordan was also without a home after fire destroyed it Sunday morning. Eleven people, including an infant, were unharmed but reeling from their losses after an unknown cause burned their home, located near 1300 West and 7200 South.
In the wake of the tragedies, friends and neighbors are pitching in to help.
Ellsworth said that with the fire, he'll just have to rebuild their lives from the ground up.
"I was hoping it wouldn't be as bad as it is," he said. "I was actually hoping we could have saved some things, but it doesn't look like we're going to be able to, so I'll just take what's left and try to start over I guess."
The Red Cross is providing the displaced residents with food, clothing and hotel rooms for the next few days. Others interested in helping those affected can e-mail Sharlain Morse, Ellsworth's grandmother, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Super rugby teams have begun addressing concerns around the use of prescription medication and, while Netball New Zealand has not uncovered any issues, it admits there is a need for more consistent policies.
In the past month, Blues chief executive Michael Redman and team doctor Steven Kara have reinforced protocols and outlined disciplinary action if prescription medication is not used for intended purposes.
Abusing prescription medication, particularly sleeping pills, has been a hot topic after revelations Kiwis players and All Blacks employed the practice in their last World Cup campaigns.
The NRL will now test all players for two types of prescription medication, as well as illicit drugs.
"We've jumped on the issue pretty quick," Blues coach Sir John Kirwan said. "New Zealand Rugby League is leading the way and trying to get to the bottom of it. There's definitely an issue there. As leaders, we need to make sure we give the guys the right information and they make good decisions."
Netball New Zealand chief executive Hilary Poole said she was not aware of any specific cases.
"As a sport we want to be as safe as possible. It's something I look forward to discussing with the (franchise) CEOs. It would make sense that we had a consistent approach."
In the Silver Ferns' environment, there is a complete alcohol ban during tournaments and series, Poole said. High Performance Sport New Zealand doctor Mark Fulcher also oversaw and monitored any distribution of prescription medication.
"Sleeping pills are prescribed, but only on a situational basis," Poole said. "It's only done once they are in their room and retired for the night. We actually offer melatonin, a natural substance, first. Our use of sleeping pills is very minimal. It's also recorded and monitored."

NEW DELHI The government's stuttering economic reform programme faces a key parliamentary test today on whether to let foreign supermarket chains such as Wal-Mart Stores set up shop, in a vote that could pave the way for further measures to revive the economy.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's minority UPA government bowed to opposition pressure last week in agreeing to a vote, ending days of deadlock in parliament and cheering investors who saw it as a sign of a renewed policy momentum to come.
News that the government agreed to a non-binding vote helped Indian shares climb to their highest in nearly 19 months and bolstered the rupee. But defeat for the ruling Congress party could see the currency tumble to 56 to the dollar from about 54, said Abhishek Goenka, chief executive at India Forex Advisors.
The government opened its doors to foreign retailers in September as part of a package of measures to stave off a looming credit rating downgrade, cut a swelling fiscal deficit and revive the country's investment climate.
While it doesn't need parliament's approval, defeat would be embarrassing and the government would come under pressure to roll back a policy that critics say would squeeze existing retailers and cost jobs.
GRAPHIC: India retail r.reuters.com/cuh79s
Whether or not the policy survives the vote will be a measure of the minority government's agility in pushing its legislative agenda in the time it has left before a general election due in just over a year.
If Singh loses, it could also put at risk other reforms pending in parliament, including measures to inject foreign cash into the struggling pension and insurance industries. If he wins, it could hasten their passage and embolden the government to move ahead with plans including simplifying the tax system.
These are seen as key for reviving investment and slashing the fiscal deficit, one of the widest among major emerging economies. At 5.9 percent of GDP last year, India's deficit earned it a warning from global ratings agencies that it could lose an investment grade rating for its sovereign debt.
"Reforms stalled in the legislative circuit are vital for the country to avoid a ratings downgrade," said an editorial in the Hindustan Times newspaper. "Stuck in the pipe are laws allowing more foreign investment in insurance and pension funds. The hope now is that some of the opposition sting will ebb once the vote on foreign direct investment in retail chains is out of the way."
Singh's government has battled to free up an economy that was largely run through state-controlled permits and quotas until the 1990s. But reforms have progressed in fits and starts in the teeth of fierce political opposition.
The symbolic vote is to be held on Wednesday. The Congress party is expected to muster enough support to win in the Lok Sabha, but could face defeat in the Rajya Sabha.
The government could also face a separate vote on amending India's foreign exchange rules, which it needs to win in order to be able to implement policies including retail reform.
Asia's third-largest economy looks set for its worst performance in a decade, with low growth and uncomfortably high inflation. Investors are urging the government to accelerate deeper reforms including simplifying a convoluted tax system and speeding up clearances for big-ticket infrastructure projects.
"Sadly, India's reform needs are greater than its political system's capacity to deliver at the moment, and policy implementation uncertainty remains a key risk," said Jyoti Narasimhan, senior principal economist at IHS Global Insight.

OPINION: It is summertime - and the complaints about freedom camping have emerged again, as they do every summer.
In Akaroa, campervans blocking access to the boat ramp have irritated boaties wanting to launch in the morning. In Duvauchelle, as in some other parts of the country, freedom campers are allegedly parking outside campgrounds and illicitly using the campgrounds' facilities. On the West Coast, where some districts have set up designated areas for freedom campers, those not obeying the rules have been getting infringement notices at the rate of up to 10 a night.
But by far the greatest number of complaints from throughout the country have been about campers who set up in remote, beautiful spots and leave behind their waste. It is a problem that has emerged with the proliferation of campervans and the growth of self-directed tourism.
There is nothing wrong with freedom camping by itself. Campervans and the like have made many areas of the country more accessible to visitors, both local and overseas, and that by and large is a desirable thing. Tourism, after all, accounts for 9 per cent of employment in New Zealand and is one of the country's biggest export earners, and travel by such means as campervans has been a growing part of the industry for many years.
But while visitors are welcome, it is also incumbent on them to respect what attracted them in the first place. Regrettably, a proportion of them do not. Up and down the country, every summer brings a flurry of reports of campers using the spots they are visiting as outdoor toilets and dumping grounds for their rubbish before moving on.
Three years ago, after multiple complaints by local authorities, the Government enacted the Freedom Camping Act, giving councils the power to regulate the practice. The law does not allow councils to prohibit freedom camping entirely, but it does permit them to restrict it or ban it in designated areas. Councils may only impose such restrictions if it is necessary to protect the area, to protect the health and safety of those who may visit the area or to protect access to the area. Any bylaw must also be the most appropriate and proportionate way of addressing any perceived problem in the area and must not contravene the Bill of Rights Act.
Some councils have used rules made under the law to make their region more welcoming to freedom campers. Waimate District Council, for instance, has been hailed by the Motor Caravan Association as one of the country's top freedom camping spots. In the Coromandel, on the other hand, the association has threatened to challenge the local authority's attempt to restrict freedom camping.
The idea of taking to the road to enjoy the natural splendours the country has to offer is an enormously attractive one. But the countryside is not an unlimited resource and it is right that councils should be able to enforce rules to protect it. And anyone who does choose to go into our beauty spots has a responsibility to leave them as untouched as they were when they arrived.

Law enforcement officers from across the state, and their dogs, are in Nicollet County this week as part of a training seminar for police narcotics canines. Frandsen Bank in lower North Mankato was a training site for the police dogs on Thursday. It was one of several training events about 35 officers and their canine partners will be participating in over several days. The dogs are trained to identify the smell of narcotics, including contaminated cash, and the money at the bank was being used to train the dogs to react only to the smell of narcotics, and not other smells. The dogs are training in St. Peter today (FRI), and certification testing will take place Saturday. That will include searching for drugs at St. Peter High School, in parked vehicles, and at other locations.

Israel can't afford Sarid andYossi Beilin. I think a wise idea wouldbe to exile the two of them together with Ahmadjacket to the same location. They can negotiate there, give interviews and conduct press-conferences while leaving Israel alone. Sounds like a good, constructive diplomatic move! Bet you, there are plenty of American foundations which would spring for a grant for each them. That'll give them some seed mone to organize while freeing up Israel's resources to deal with the problems created in the wake of their activities of the past 20+ years.

Airfares to Fiji
Started by taby , Nov 09 2012 02:59 PM

Posted 09 November 2012 - 02:59 PM
I have been offered a timeshare week for 5-12 January in Fiji but airfares are massive! The ones going over I can get for about $200 each but coming home (to Sydney) they are almost $500 each. Any reason why other than holiday time?
I can't justify this sort of money just on airfares..... but really want to go for this week!
Posted 09 November 2012 - 03:20 PM
I think for your flights return to Sydney of $700 is not too bad a price especially over the school holidays.
Have a check up on this website for all different prices
How many adults and children are going and are you leaving from Sydney?
Posted 09 November 2012 - 03:23 PM
which timeshare place?
i work in timeshare and will tell you if its worth it.....
Posted 09 November 2012 - 03:27 PM
2 adults and 2 children (7 and 9) from Sydney to Nadi return
Posted 09 November 2012 - 03:36 PM
Just checking up on those websites I posted, $700 return is good price!!
Posted 09 November 2012 - 03:38 PM
is that $700 each?
Posted 09 November 2012 - 03:41 PM
taby, I was talking about the price you can get for your flights. $200 over each and then $500 each on the way back, so if you can get that price, I think you have a great deal!!
Posted 09 November 2012 - 07:22 PM
I recently bought return tickets to Fiji in April for 2 adults and 3 children for $2300 with air pacific.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 04:13 PM
We paid $2250 for 2 adults and 3 kids with Virgin.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 06:55 PM
Here are some flights that are on sale at the moment, however they are out of your travel times.
Edited by Jen1, 12 November 2012 - 06:56 PM.
Posted 13 November 2012 - 06:48 PM
We are going to Fiji next Tuesday and paid $2140 return for 2 adults/2kids with Air Pacific
Edited by mombasa, 13 November 2012 - 06:49 PM.
Posted 13 November 2012 - 06:53 PM
How much were you expecting for pay for flights in school holidays?
Posted 13 November 2012 - 07:05 PM
I think for your flights return to Sydney of $700 is not too bad a price especially over the school holidays.
Posted 15 November 2012 - 01:31 PM
Pretty sure our fare was the $2140 for 2 A 2 C - chidren at 75% adult fare I think. Then I used points (CBA Awards) & got $400 off that
Posted 17 November 2012 - 04:25 PM
I think for school holidays that's the best you will get, If you wait they will most likely go up as the seats start to sell.

... Plan was to follow the lake shore round to Port Dover and then look for a place to stay. Most of the roads here run through cornfields so its pretty rural, most of the roads are arrow straight but then we cam upon a section that twisted a bit and as I cam to the crest of a hill I noticed an animal sat in the middle of the road. As there were houses dotted about here I first assumed it was a large ...

Today I had the fun of 20 Year 5 students in my classroom. I used the Magic Vs problem from NRICH. NRICH have lots of good leading questions, solution discussions and videos. There was lots of great thinking and discussion.
I made a SMART Notebook file to aid the discussions, available on MathsFaculty.

On MathsLinks there is a new feature to create Lists. Lists are, like they sound, similar to a wishlist or shopping cart - you can create a list of links chosen from MathsLinks.
MathsLinks is already extensively catalogued, so you can already find resources related to a Syllabus outcome or Maths topic. A list allows you to personalise.
Here, for example, is a list I created of resources I use for teaching Year 8 Equations and Inequalities.
Below is a ~4 minute video explaining lists:

Many teachers are now using Google Classroom to connect with their students. Recently Google added the ability for external sites to share to your classroom. I have added this functionality to MathsLinks.
Say I wanted to share a link I've found on MathsLinks with my class. Click the share button and choose Google Classroom from the dropdown.
When you click Google Classroom a new window / tab will open where, if you're already logged in to Google Classroom, you are given an option to choose from your classes and share the item as an assignment or announcement. A gomaths link is shared, which means your students are taken straight to the linked resource (not the MathsLinks page).
As always feedback is welcomed.

I've had Make bingo for trig exact with radians on my To Do list for a while.
Over on MathsStarters Bingo, I've added a Trigonometry Exact Values (Radians) game. The degrees version has been there for a while.
Students really like Bingo, so it's nice to have a game for seniors.
If you're not familiar with this game, students draw a 3 × 3 grid and fill it with 9 answers from the first screen of the game, e.g. from this game…
…a student's grid might look like this:
Teacher presses Start, and the first question appears.
Our example student can cross of -½ (only once). The teacher can decide on the rule to win (e.g. first to complete a row, a column all their whole grid).
As always, feedback is welcome.
