Carla Facciolo was the quiet, reserved one last season on Mob Wives, but she definitely started to speak up this season. Carla managed to forge a peaceful relationship with both Karen and Ramona, despite her best friend's difficult history with both of them, and she also opened herself and her relationship with her ex-husband Joe for all to see this season.
I feel like we saw more of you this season, you definitely became more outspoken than in season one.
Yeah, I had to start speaking up a little more. I am who I am, I've always been like this, but I saw that if I didn't speak up, they'd try to make me look like this character I wasn't. So I was like okay, I have to speak up and voice my opinion now.
You kept getting into it with Renee, I felt, because you were so forthcoming with whatever was going on with her in her life.
Yeah, and we cleared the air and then stuff would come up again, it was like, oh my God. You know, I had had enough and I exploded a little.
So what's your relationship now with everyone, now that the season is over?
At this moment, of course I'm very close with Ang and Drita, and me and Renee are very good right now, we're very cool. Karen and Ramona, I'm distant from. I don't have a problem with Karen, and Ramona and me are not the best of friends, we just deal with each other.
What's really going on with you and Joe now?
Me and Joe are friends. We're not together like that, we keep it cool for the kids. We get along and we're good.
Do fans want you guys to be together? I mean, I watch you and I want you to be together.
I think when you see us on film and we're joking around and laughing it looks like we make a great couple and blah blah blah, we just didn't get back together like that. There's a lot of things that went on before that make it hard.
What's the most defining moment for you, or the most surprising moment that's gone down this season?
No one probably ever thought that dinner party would happen. If you watch filming for the whole year, no one was all together in one room. In the end we all go together, everyone acted nice and we had our children around.
Were you in favor of Karen and Drita's reconciliation?
Oh, I definitely wanted them to speak. I even said they're not going to become the friends they once were years ago, but at least if we're all together in one room…I mean, it's not pretty when something goes down, but at least now it don't get like that. They don't have to be the best of friends, but at least being civil…yeah, it's nice.
Does it feel like the fighting has decreased this season? There was the one big blowout at Renee's party but things haven't gotten that intense since then.
Well because Drita and Karen were never around each other. They were so heated for so long after that fight that if they ever put them together it wouldn't have gone well.
Were you worried about the Poconos trip?
I wasn't worried but I figured with the three of them, even though Renee was trying to be neutral, I felt like I was gonna get hit with something while we were there.
How do you feel watching the interview portions of the show and hearing Ramona calling you a puppet or whatever other harsh stuff people dish out?
It's so funny she would call me Drita's puppet, meanwhile she was doing the same exact thing with Karen, I was like, are you crazy? I would never say "Oh, Ramona's a puppet," because first of all, I don't speak that way, but you're calling me a puppet because I stuck up for Drita and I'm on her side, you do the same thing with Karen! If Karen says we're friends with her, you're like "Okay." If she says we're not friends with her, "Okay." So who's the puppet?
I always wonder how much those segments get you all riled up.
Sometimes I just laugh. Like, "How can she say something like that?" But in one of the episodes when I called Renee bipolar she got really mad at that…and then in one of the last episodes, there's f—ing Ramona calling Drita bipolar. It's like, is she kidding me? Listen, no one likes when someone is saying something about them, especially when it's not true, but it is what it is.
Is Junior still a topic of conversation for you all?
We don't really talk about it anymore. We tried to dead it, like, so Renee can actually have a life. Of course we talked about it while it was happening but now we're like, it's done, nothing you can do about it, just move on.

The Dons have collected six points from the four games since Terry Brown was sacked last month, and with the club due to appoint a new manager this week, Saturday's 2-1 win at Plymouth looks like being Bassey's last at the helm.
"We have taken six points out of 12 and that is not too bad," said Bassey.
"I thought we should have got more if I am honest, but if that was my last game in charge, then I have enjoyed every minute of it.
"Whatever happens from here I will continue to give my best for the club.
"The response I have had from the boys has been fantastic and I could not have asked for anything more from them. They are a cracking group."

Habubank takeover awaits final okay
After lately refuting whispers of the pending merging between Habubank (HBB) and Sai Gon-Hanoi Bank (SHB), the Condition Bank of Vietnam approved the merger in principle a couple of days ago within an unreleased document, based on a resource near to the matter who requested to not be named.
"However, the document is just a consensus opinion like a guideline for that government bodies and doesn't mean the merger is completed," the origin stated.
Habubank rejected to comment.
The central bank also purchased the 2 commercial banks to adhere to Circular No 04/2010/TT-NHNN regulating mergers and purchases of banks and submit a achievable merger plan.
The 2 listed banks signed a memorandum of understanding back on March 8, including contracts on merger terms. Particularly, when the merger happened, Habubank would transfer all its liabilities and assets, including work and legal benefits and obligations, to SHB, which may therefore assume responsibility on their behalf.
Banks also decided on a regular-swap ratio of 1 SHB share exchanged for 1.34 HBB shares. SHB would result in giving a similar volume of shares to Habubank investors.
Underneath the agreement, Habubank would also not have the ability to contract with organisations with no consent of SHB.
"The merger is dependent on the ultimate decision through the Condition Bank," the origin stated. "However, Habubank must get approval from the own investors throughout the approaching meeting." SHB seemed to be likely to hold its investor meeting no after April 30.

A young woman who was subjected to a vicious attack on board a tram while wearing Goth-style clothing has said she can not forgive her 'vile' attackers.
Melody McDermott suffered a fractured eye socket after being head butted to the floor of a Metrolink carriage and repeatedly stamped upon in October last year.
The attack had chilling comparisons with the murder of Sophie Lancaster in a Lancashire park in 2007
Thugs Kenneth Kelsall, 47, and Gareth Farrar, 43, were jailed for six years nine months and two years two months respectively for what Judge Elliot Knopf described as an "explosion of violence."
Speaking after the verdict, Melody, 22, from Whitefield said that although she welcomed the sentence she could not accept the apologies of her attackers.
She said: "I think they are both vile, I don't have any nice emotions or words for them. What can you say about people like that?"
"It has damaged my faith in society. It is something I never thought I'd experience myself but unfortunately it is something a lot of people have to face. A few bad people can have a massive impact."
"I don't believe they are really sorry. Kelsall has got a string of violent convictions so I don't really believe in his apology. I am pleased with the sentence and for someone who has so many previous convictions to be off the streets. I definitely feel safer now."
"People shouldn't be allowed to get away with that kind of thing and treating people like that, no matter what reason they may have."
Bolton Crown Court heard how Kelsall, a fairground worker, had notched up 38 previous convictions, including six for violence against a person.
Locked up July '12
The sickening attack was captured on CCTV and shown to the court.
The video showed Kelsall, of Cornwood Close, Cheetham Hill, head butting Melody before viciously stamping on her head as she lay in the aisle between two seats.
Farrar, of Ellingham Close, Beswick, was also shown repeatedly punching Melody's friend, Stephen Stafford, 30.
Kelsall pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent and assault occasioning actual bodily harm at a previous hearing.
Farrar, had earlier pleaded guilty to assault causing actual bodily harm.
The court heard all four had been drinking and words had been exchanged on the Prestwich platform, spilling onto the tram when they all boarded.
Sentencing, Judge Knopf said: "This was an explosion of violence against two young people. The CCTV recording speaks for itself and demonstrates the value of CCTV in assisting the courts in getting to the truth.
"The footage beggars belief, what we see is a shocking display of violence where a young woman on the floor presenting no threat is stamped upon. These types of actions leave a mark on our society and are often caused by young people because of immaturity and a lack of life experience.
"You two have not got that excuse. You are in your 40s and should have recognised the likely consequences of your actions."
Sophie Lancaster, from Rossendale, was 20 when she was kicked and stamped to death in a Bacup park by a gang who targeted her and her boyfriend, Robert Maltby, because of their Goth style of clothing.Locked up July '12

Read Poems by
Tamara Hillman
Thinking only of myself,
at times, I walked away
with no regrets or afterthought—
my ego gone astray…
No looking back, no apologies,
just a cold, cold heart of clay.
No guilt, regrets or any angst,
I forged through life alone,
thinking I could still climb heights
tho' dreadful seeds I'd sown…
But now, I know the sad truth—
for much I must atone.
I made it not alone in life,
my path—not always straight…
Listening to the old and wise
my fate to contemplate —
I find, my friend, that in the end,
I must walk thru' that gate.
Age has made me wiser,
life has been my guide—
learning from these lessons,
my ego set aside.
God became my mentor—
and turned the raging tide.
I go now to the injured,
forgiveness—make my plea…
fill my mouth with humbleness
to set my conscience free,
strive to love my fellow man
for selfishness must flee.

Frequently Asked Forum Questions
This page contains questions frequently asked on the Wicked Edge forum as well as answers people have given.
Q: The sharpening angle on one side of the blade is different from the other side. Or: how do I clamp a knife horizontally?
A: If you are just concerned with sharpness, it does not matter if the sharpening angle on one side of the blade is a bit different from that on the other side. However, for aesthetic purposes or in order for the sharpening to be repeatable, it may matter.
You need to mount the knife horizontally in the vise. If you have trouble mounting a fully flat ground (FFG) blade horizontally, use a piece of chamois or foam tape to clamp the blade.
Forum links:
Q: I've got a narrow knife. When I try to sharpen this knife, a stone hits the top of the vise or the top screw in the vise
A: Try to sharpen the knife at a higher angle. Alternatively, try to clamp the knife higher in the clamp. To mount the knife horizontally, put the height key in the top holes and use one or more matches to raise the knife.

This invention relates to blending devices, and more particularly to blending devices capable of high-volume, rapid-succession production of blended beverages.
Food processors and blending devices have existed for many years. One example of a blending device is shown and described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,655,834, which is incorporated in its entirety by this reference.
Food processors and blending machines are being used now more than ever, particularly in the high-volume, commercial beverage industry. People are increasingly becoming aware of the benefits, in terms of taste and quality, of well-processed beverages. Blended fruit smoothies and similar fruit drinks, popular with all types of people ranging from the fitness conscious to the less active, require a food processor or blending machine. Cold beverages, in particular, which utilize fruit (frozen or fresh) and ice to prepare present unique challenges in beverage preparation. An appropriate blending machine will break down the ice, fruit, and other ingredients in attempting to achieve an ideal uniform drink consistency. In addition, food processors or blending machines are ideal for mixing nutritional supplements into beverages while similarly attempting to achieve an ideal uniform drink consistency.
In addition to the recent increase in the popularity of smoothies, food processors and blending machines are being used to produce many new and different beverages. For example, different types of coffees, shakes, dairy drinks, and the like are now commonly served at many different types of retail business locations. Consumers are demanding more diversity and variety in the beverages available at these smoothie and other retail stores. The keys to producing a high quality beverage, irrespective of the specific type of beverage, are quality ingredients and a high quality blending machine that will quickly and efficiently blend the ingredients to produce a drink with uniform consistency.
One problem associated with businesses that depend on blending machines is the speed with which the beverage or drink is prepared. In the food preparation industry, time equals money. Beverages have traditionally been made by retrieving the appropriate ingredients, placing the ingredients inside a mixing container, and actuating a motor which drives a blade mounted inside the mixing container to blend the contents held within the mixing container. Virtually all traditional blending devices require some type of manual programming by tactile actuation (i.e., actuation by the operator's fingertips) of at least one switch, and commonly several switches (particularly where variable speeds are desired), through a key pad or the like to initiate operation of the blending device. Such programming requires focused action by the operator and, as a result, takes up time in the blending process. Each second of time wasted, even a fraction of a second of time wasted, adds up over time to significant amounts of money lost for any commercial operation.
Another problem with respect to prior blending devices relates to safety. While the potential for the beverage ingredients to be hurled all over the place may provide some incentive to place a lid on the mixing container before blending, any additional incentive to maintain a lid on the mixing container during processing will enhance safety.
Still another traditional problem with respect to blending devices relates to cavitation, which occurs when a pocket of air envelops the area surrounding the blade. Efforts are continually being made to design blending devices to reduce cavitation.
Yet another problem with respect to traditional blending devices relates to the type of ingredients that need to be mixed to create an optimal drink consistency, and the ability of the blending device to handle such ingredients. For example, individually quick frozen (IQF) fruit is now commonly used in making smoothies. Most blending devices are simply not capable of appropriately handling IQF fruit to achieve an optimal, uniform consistency.
In view of the foregoing, there is a need to provide a blending station apparatus and method of blending that will allow beverages to be made quickly and efficiently minimizing the overall time required between ordering a beverage and serving the beverage to the customer. There is also a need to provide a blending apparatus and blending method that will minimize the need to program the blending device just prior to actuating the device. There is still further a need to develop a blending device that reduces cavitation. Yet another need exists to provide a blending device with a blade and jar configuration that will produce a beverage with an optimal, uniform consistency with respect to all desired ingredients.
The present invention relates to a blending apparatus which includes an articulable housing that pivots relative to a surface, which may be a stationary base or the surface supporting the blending apparatus, to actuate at least one switch to initiate a blending cycle. As the switch is actuated, by downward pressure exerted on one side of the blending device, the blade mounted inside the mixing container rotates at a first speed. As the articulable housing is rotated further toward the stationary surface, one or more an additional switches may be actuated to causes the blade mounted within the mixing container to rotate at sequentially higher speeds. After the appropriate mixing, and the operator of the blending device releases the downward pressure on the housing, a bias member, such as a coil spring, urges the housing upward away from engagement with the switches to cut off power supplied to the motor and stop blade rotation.
Another aspect of the present invention relates to the internal shape of the mixing container. The mixing container geometry shifts the center of the fluid-flow vortex off-center relative to the rotational axis of the blade. This reduces cavitation which commonly occurs where the fluid-flow vortex is concentric with the axis of rotation of the blending blade.
Still another aspect of the present invention relates to the relative size of the mixing blade and its orientation relative to the sidewalls of the mixing container. The combined geometry of the mixing container in combination with the blade allows all types of ingredients, including IQF fruit, to be blended in the blending device to produce a drink with a desired, uniform consistency.
The foregoing and other features, utilities and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The present invention relates to a blending apparatus 20 which, in one embodiment, the blending apparatus 20 is a stand-alone, portable blending device.
The blending device 20 comprises a stationary base 22 and a motor housing or cover 24 which articulates relative to stationary base 22 to actuate one or more switches which cause the blender to operate. The description of the manner in which one or more switches are actuated is set forth below. The blending device 20 further comprises a mixing container or jar 26 in which a mixing blade 28 is rotatably mounted. The blending device still further comprises a lid 30 which covers the open end of the jar 26 during operation.
The housing or cover 24, as shown in
A plurality of archways 40 are formed in the bottom of housing 24. The archways 40 allow an appropriate amount of air circulation underneath the blending apparatus 20 and about the motor (described below).
With reference to
A plurality of integral, first locking retainers 46 (
The base 22 defines a central well or concave area 60 which provides a space to allow for articulation of the combined switch plate 50/motor 80 (described below) into the well 60. The base 22 further includes an aperture 62 for receiving a power cord 61 (
A plurality of rigid, integral posts 72, 74, 76 extend upwardly from base 22. The posts 72, 74, 76 are oriented opposite switches secured to the articulable housing 24. As described below, the relatively tall post 72 engages a first switch upon articulation of the housing 24 and switch plate 50 relative to the base 22. As the housing 24 and switch plate 50 are further articulated relative to base 22, relatively shorter posts 74, 76 engage other switches to increase the operational speed of the blending apparatus. To ensure that the base 22 fits snugly and appropriately inside of the bottom of housing 24, a plurality of tabs 78 (only one pair are shown) extend outwardly from the main portion of base 22.
While the embodiment of
After the motor 80 has been positioned in its appropriate location inside motor receiving area 81, the entire assembly is urged upwardly into the articulable housing 24 (
The switch plate 50 further defines a plurality of apertures 96, 98, 100 (
To bias the base 22 away from switch plate 50, bias members in the form of a pair of coil springs 114, 116 are disposed inside of appropriately sized pockets 118, 120 (
As shown in
A benefit relative to the present invention is that the switches 102, 104, 106 serve as the actuation switches for the blending device 20. That is, the articulable housing which actuates switches 102, 104, 106 eliminates the need for a power switch. Switches 102, 104, 106 are, in fact, the power switches. Upon return of the housing 24 to its normal position relative to stationary base 22 (which occurs absent any external force on the lid 30/jar 26 combination), power supplied to the motor 80 (
Another benefit of the blending apparatus with an articulable actuation mode include the speed with which beverages can be made. There are no manual buttons or switches that need to be actuated by the fingers of the operator. Rather, as soon as the appropriate ingredients are introduced into the jar 26 (as understood by those skilled in the art), the jar, in combination with the affixed lid 30, is positioned over the upstanding guide extensions on base 24 (
Another unique aspect of the present invention relates to the jar 26. The jar 26 is sized to hold approximately 3 quarts. As shown in
Another novel aspect of the present jar 26 according to the present invention relates to an additional fifth or truncated wall 135 which is positioned opposite handle 140. Walls 132, 134. 136, 138 may be arranged in a generally rectangular, tapered shape. Wall 135 truncates, in essence, the typical corner that would otherwise be formed between wall 132 and 138. As shown in
The unique blade 28 is relatively large, compared to prior art blades. The single blade construction, as compared to traditional cross-blade construction, allows all types of ingredients, such as IQF fruit, to fall between the ends of blade 28 as it rotates to produce a desired, smooth, and consistent texture of beverage.
The jar further includes lower cavities 158 which correspond in size to upstanding guide walls 36 (
The lid 30 more specifically comprises a top surface 160 and a channel 162 which surrounds top surface 160. The channel 162 defines, on the opposite side, a four-wall extension 164 which seats inside of opening 130 upon installation of the lid 30 onto jar 26. A plurality of tabs 166 extend outwardly from each corner of the lid 30 to provide an easy location for grasping the lid and removing the lid after completion of a blending cycle. A plurality of downwardly extending jar retaining walls 170 extend between tabs 166 so that the lid 30, when installed over jar 26, is retained in its desired location.
Another novel aspect of the present invention is that because articulation of the cover 24 relative to stationary base 22 is required to actuate the blending device 20, downward pressure on top surface 160 of lid 30 is generally required. Such downward pressure will urge the downwardly extending walls 164 of the lid 30 toward the inside surfaces of jar opening 130 to seal the lid 30 tightly against jar 26 and prevent liquids from escaping during the blending process. In addition, because downward pressure on lid 30 is required, as a general matter, to articulate the housing 24 relative to stationary base 22, the likelihood of the operator of the blending apparatus 20 inserting his or her hand into opening 130 during the blending process is greatly reduced.
While this invention has been described with reference to certain specific embodiments and examples, it will be recognized by those skilled in the art that many variations are possible without departing from the scope and spirit of this invention. The invention, as described by the claims, is intended to cover all changes and modifications of the invention which do not depart from the spirit of the invention. The words "including" and "having," as used in the specification, including the claims, shall have the same meaning as the word "comprising."

Yates convinced me this is the place to be says Taylor
Posted: January 31, 2013|
NO-NONSENSE Jason Taylor believes he can provide the missing piece to Cheltenham Town's midfield jigsaw.
The 26-year-old arrived on a two-and-a-half year deal from Rotherham United on Monday and he is set to make his Robins debut in Saturday's home match against Torquay United (3pm).
Described by boss Mark Yates as "the one we've been missing", the imposing Taylor is an uncomplicated player, who likes to win the ball and give it to the more creative talents in the side.
The 6ft 1in enforcer turned down offers from several other clubs to make the switch to promotion-chasing Cheltenham, saying he was impressed with the way Yates sold the club to him.
"I am very happy to be here and as soon as I knew the manager wanted me and I met with him, it was a no-brainer," Taylor said.
"I was told I wasn't wanted at Rotherham any more so it was in my best interests to leave as soon as possible. I have played the last 15 or so games on the spin, so I am fully fit and ready to go here.
"Cheltenham is a club moving in the right direction and I think the gaffer liked my hunger to succeed."
Taylor has enjoyed promotion success from League Two with both Rochdale, automatically, and via the play-offs with Stockport County.
He has moved south in order to make it a hat-trick.
"I can bring that experience of a couple of promotions and I know we need to kick on and that will be our goal here between now and the end of the season," Taylor said.
"Consistency is the main thing and if you get a run going and don't concede too many you have a great chance of going up."
Taylor will face competition from Russ Penn, Marlon Pack, Darren Carter and Sam Deering for a starting place, but he said he would relish the challenge posed by one of the strongest areas of Yates' squad.
"When I first signed I asked the gaffer about our midfielders and I know there will be good competition, but that bodes well for the club," Taylor said.
"I think I am a good organiser, who likes to keep things simple and break up play.
"I will give it to the ones who can play and let the ball-players do their thing."
Taylor, whose boyhood idol was Manchester United and Ireland star Roy Keane, plans to relocate to the Cheltenham area after sealing his move away from the Millers.
On his controversial boss at Rotherham Steve Evans, Taylor said: "He's not everyone's cup of tea, but he is what he is."

on. "Models and Design" includes stories about Henry Ford's Model T, the cartoonist Rube Goldberg, and NASA's use of simulation technology.
Gender and ethnicity play an important role in the development of a person's self-efficacy, identity, approach to learning, and career aspirations (see, for example, Bandura et al., 1999; Maple and Stage, 1991). As noted in Chapter 2, engineers in the United States have historically been predominantly white males; and women, African Americans, and Hispanics are still significantly underrepresented in the profession. Exposing students to images of engineers who look like them and to engineering-related activities that resonate with their personal and cultural experiences may not only improve their understanding of engineering but may also make engineering more appealing as a possible career (EWEP, 2005; NAE, 2008).
Efforts have been made in several curricula to portray engineering as an interesting and accessible career for individuals from diverse backgrounds. For example, the textbook for "Engineering the Future" features 31 stories (or chapters) written by engineers, designers, architects, technologists, and technicians, almost half of them women and a third members of minority groups. Similarly, "Design and Discovery" includes vignettes that enable students to "meet engineers," half of whom are women. Every unit in the "Engineering is Elementary" curriculum features a story about a child who uses basic engineering principles to solve a problem. The main characters in four of the nine units are female, and all of the characters come from different ethnic backgrounds. In addition, several stories include adult females as mentors and advisors.
In contrast, stories in the "Models and Designs" unit of the Full Option Science System curriculum are dominated by male inventors, scientists, engineers, and industrialists (e.g., Stephen Hawkings, Dick Covey, Rube Goldberg, Henry Ford, Eli Whitney). In addition, almost all of the photographs of people engaged in scientific and engineering pursuits are male.
Several curricula focus on topics and projects that research suggests are more likely to appeal to boys than to girls.4 For example, "A World in Motion," "Gateway to Technology," and "Models and Designs" include
There is an extensive literature on gender preferences related to technology and engineering (e.g., Weber and Custer, 2005) that suggests, among other things, that girls are more interested in socially relevant technologies, while boys are more interested in how technologies work, and that girls prefer collaborative work, while boys are more motivated by competition.

Figures speak volumes for e-books
Posted: December 08, 2012|
Anyone who has been on a plane, bus or train recently will have noticed a curious phenomenon that could not possibly have occurred even five years ago. Many travellers will be gazing, with glazed intent, at some sort of screen.
A few might be watching movies on computer-tablets or smartphones – but a great many will be reading digital books. In doing so they are part of a huge, far-reaching, revolution – one that is seeing literature delivered electronically rather than by ink on paper. The nation's largest book retailer now sells more e-books than printed tomes and literature's main trade organisation in the UK, the Publishers Association, has recently announced a "huge increase" in the value of digital book sales.
People who, only a couple of years ago, were saying: "I'll not have anything to do with those newfangled machines – give me an old fashioned book any day…" are changing their minds in droves.
Amazon says that for every 100 hardback and paperback books it sells on its UK site, 114 e-books are downloaded. Sales of its Kindle e-book reader have tripled every year since 2006 and now there is a plethora of similar devices, many of which are coming down in price. Estimates vary as to how many such devices will be received as Christmas presents, but figures compiled earlier this year by Book Marketing Limited showed that seven per cent of British adults received a dedicated e-reader in the last festive period.
That brought the total percentage of adults with e-book readers in this country up to 13 per cent, or 6.5 million adults. With e-readers now costing as little as £50, some trade estimates now put the figure at over 20 million come early next year.
In the meantime, paperback sales are down by nearly 25 per cent year-on-year, leading some industry experts to predict that the conventional cheap way to read literature could soon become as rare and fanciful as listening to music on vinyl discs.
In the first three months of this year, 11.3 million paperback novels were sold, compared to 14.9 million during the same period last year – and blame for the decline is placed fully on the increasing popularity of e-readers such as Amazon's Kindle, Sony's Reader and tablets such as the iPad.
The basic logistics are hard to argue with. You can pack more than 1,400 novels onto the average e-book reading device – which is convenient if you're on the move. Then there's the fact that many reading devices are back-lit, which means you can use them in the dead of night without disturbing whoever might be sharing a dark room with you.
Perhaps more important in tough economic times is the fact that e-books are often, but not always, considerably cheaper than their printed cousins. But should we be welcoming literature's digital revolution? My own answer to that question would be a resounding "yes!"
Don't get me wrong, I love old fashioned printed books – anyone who has been to my house will known the place is lined with them. I've got too many – there are books tucked into crannies in this cottage I haven't touched in 20 years.
I like the smell, the heft and the feel of books – and I love the look of them on shelves and in bookshops.
But I'm such a convert to e-readers I have started to produce e-books of my own. Our rural backwater of a region is ignored by major publishers every bit as much as it is by major politicians – name me half a dozen West Country-based literary works that have hit the national stage in the past year or two?
The literary world is as madly London-centric as any other, if not more so. But now, people like me – and you – can produce e-books that would never have been published by an ever-more-tough-to-break-into conventional book trade. And they can be works that have a real and proper relevance to other people living in this region.
So far, I've produced a couple of collections of my newspaper columns (as an experiment, more than anything else, to see if I could do it), a collection of my old harbour series articles, another of my Christmas ghost stories and two crime novellas based on a fictional Cornish-based photographer I call the Cornish Snapper.
Now they're out there – on the big, scary, but highly efficient, worldwide web.
My argument is that they could be joined by hundreds or thousands of other West Country-based works of both fact and fiction – and we would all be a great deal the richer for it.
Not financially, I hasten to add – I'll only make a few pence on any e-book I sell. But that's not the point. What I like – apart from the convenience of e-books – is that they open up a new world which is inclusive to folk like you and me, rather than the previous status quo which has been exclusive.

ERWIN — Officials from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission were at the Unicoi County Courthouse Tuesday evening to discuss the results of the annual licensee performance review for Nuclear Fuel Services for the 2011 review period.
According to NRC officials, the Erwin facility exhibited marked improvement during this most recent assessment period, which was from Jan. 1, 2001, to Dec. 31, 2011, in its safety culture performance as compared to the 2010 review.
Following a December 2009 consultation between NRC and NFS officials, several process areas at the facility were voluntarily halted until more stringent safety measures could be implemented. This followed two incidents that occurred at the Erwin plant in fall 2009, including an October incident at a bowl-cleaning station that caused the generation of nitrogen compound fumes and damaged piping. No employees were injured in either incident.
In January 2010, the NRC issued a confirmatory action letter to NFS that outlined measures to be addressed and implemented prior to the restart of the halted process areas.
During its 2010 licensee performance review, NRC officials said NFS had not made sufficient improvement strides in the areas of safety operations and facility support, and pointed out that not all of the previously halted lines had been restarted and actions outlined in the confirmatory action letter had not been completed in their entirety.
However, NRC said the results of the 2011 review reflect improvements at NFS.
"NFS continues to conduct licensed activities safely and securely, protecting public health and the environment. Also, NFS' performance has improved such that no areas needing improvement were identified," Manuel Crespo with the NRC said.
Despite identifying a total of four violations of "low safety significance" in the review areas of safety operations, facility support and radiological controls, Crespo said no areas needing improvement were identified in these areas. He also said NFS responded appropriately to conditions that led to these violations. No violations or areas needing improvement were identified by NRC inspectors in the area of special topics during the 2011 review period.
Last July, the NRC gave authorization to resume operations on its uranium hexafluoride line, the last of the previously halted process areas, and Crespo said the line was safely restarted. Last fall, NFS was also able to close the confirmatory action letter as its outlined requirements were met, according to the NRC. Radiological doses to NFS employees and the public and environmental releases were below regulatory limits, according to the NRC.
"In 2011, our assessment concluded that NFS was operated in a safe and secure manner," Alan Blamey with the NRC said. "NFS has shown improvement since the previous assessment in 2010."
Still, Blamey said vigilance on the part of NFS is needed to ensure that improvements continue.
"An absence of areas needing improvement doesn't mean performance cannot or should not be improved," he said. "It's imperative that NFS, like other licensees, continue to seek improvements in all performance areas."
NFS President Joseph Henry described 2011 as a "transformational" year for the facility. He also said safety is the company's top priority.
"We have been and continue to be focused on a safe and secure work environment with informed and accountable workers," Henry said. "We have a significant number of programs, processes and requirements in place to ensure that every worker understands that he or she has the right to bring up safety concerns, and those concerns will be reviewed and addressed.
"This is an integral part of our training program. We know that a safety-conscious work environment is the foundation of a safe nuclear facility."
However, not all are convinced NFS is operating safely. Following the business portion of the meeting, the floor was opened to the public, and several used the opportunity to voice their concerns with the Erwin facility and the NRC's oversight and results of its 2011 licensee performance review.
"You guys go on like 'All the damage you've done to us for 56 years is OK now,' " Greene County resident Park Overall said to NRC officials.
Unicoi County resident Buzz Davies said NFS continues to have "failures" and there is inadequate control of the facility on NRC's part. He also said he feels NFS' processes lack independent feedback.
"There is no quality control feedback system existing at this plant," Davies said to NRC officials. "You'll never get control of it until you put that quality program in place."

In the medium category of Android phones the competition has never been so strong. Almost every day you can see another phone model with an ideal price to performances relation. From the other hand in the category of three "Heads" there are not a lot of solutions that would make you drop your jaw to the ground.
Sony Ericsson Neo V is one of the ones that would make you drool; a reduced variant of the model Xperia Neo, which has lower specs than its older brother in the terms of- reduced camera from 8MP to 5MP and a microSD card with a lower capacity of 2GB, all packed in a neat, curved package. The screen is a 3.7 inch, high resolution screen (480×854) and it has more than good characteristics. The ratio of 16:9 is more than good when using the phone to play a HD 720p video (the screen is filled up to the last pixel). The only inconvenient thing is that you cannot turn of the function of the automatic lighting adjustment, which can be a bother sometimes and also the big reflection of the protective layer makes it a bit unusable in very bright conditions and makes it shiny as a mirror. It holds a Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255 processor that works on 1 GHz and a graphic subunit Adreno 205 that promises really good results in high demanding games and applications.
The camera sensor of 5 megapixels, the support of a 720p video, the automatic focus and the strong LED flash and also the two degree button for the camera make all the conditions for a very good photo/video projects.
All in all, Xperia Neo V is a very good phone with a great price tag, one of few that is going to have an ICS upgrade this spring.

Wow, what a blessing to wake up to! Over 4000 fans/friends (Cumulative) is an AMAZING blessing to wake up to! Thanks to ReverbNation I can keep track of all my fans/friends from all my social networks in one place. Words alone cannot express how grateful I am for each and every one of you! Making music and sharing it with the world is one of the many dreams I have in this life and each and every one of you are helping to make that dream a reality! For that, I thank you and am forever grateful!
So now the question is "when do we celebrate!?" and after some thought I have made that decision. I have decided to wait till we've reached the 10,000 mark! As for how we're going to celebrate, I have a little time to think about it. But, I think it should be BIG (Suggestions Welcomed!) In the mean time we're going to work on some contest and give aways!! If you haven't yet, be sure to subscribe to the official mailing list for Tinkerchele to be eligible!
Again, thank you all for your continued love and support!!

1. Independent musicians can freely express their passion and unique talent. They can express their own personal stories, follow their own instincts, and not have to follow orders from major label executives as to what they must create. From the customer's perspective, by exploring radio stations and other sources of independent music, they too are now free to make their own decisions as to what is hot and what is not.
2. Many of the common music distributors only offer music from major labels, and rarely do they give anything for free, no matter how many albums you download or cds you buy. An independent artist is free to be unique and generous in his sales methods. For the consumer, this can mean getting bulk discounts, coupon offers and appreciation for their repeat purchases.
3. The independent musician can communicate directly with the customer, so online sales doesn't have to feel like an isolating experience for the artist. Many times the thrill of receiving an email directly from the musician can turn an independent label music purchaser into a devout fan.
4. Niche marketing is all the buzz these days, and nowhere is it more successful than in independent music. As an independent musician, you are free to create your own unique niche and, in the process, reach more ideal fans. As someone who buys music from an independent label, you can find it easier to discover the music that defines and expresses YOU as well.
5. By buying from independent labels, customers and musicians can share the love. Think of it this way, here's one scenario. A music lover makes a purchase. The independent musician has total control over what is communicated in the thank-you message. The customer can write back. The musician can quote the customer in his blog, the customer basks in the glory of the personal mention and shares it with all his friends on his Facebook page. Backlinks abound. Try that when you purchase from a major label.
6. Everyone feels more authentic. A MySpace page is more authentic than a billboard. A blog is more authentic than a press release. As an independent musician you can replace corporate communications with the real you, and your fans can comment on your webpage and get a direct response from you with their name on it.
7. At a time when many music retailers are closing their doors, customers can find their favorite independent musician's music by buying it directly from the artist. Musicians with a well defined niche and loyal, avid fans can remain untouched by the ups and downs of the retail music industry.
8. An independent musician can develop his own website presence based on his own unique personality and style. Fans can hang out in a place where they can listen to new music clips, socialize, watch video performances, buy music, and share and build upon each other's excitement. Everything is in one place, and they can discover a new musician or song, leave their comments, bookmark the site, make a purchase, and make new friends, all at the same time.
9. Musicians get a bigger cut from the sale of their music. This may seem obvious, but if customers could see the portions their favorite musicians receive from major labels, they would make more effort to support independent musicians, and buy from independent labels.
10.Indie musicians can band together to support each other and further their own causes, in organizations such as Association of Independent Musicians, or Rock the Net, only two examples. Major record labels often limit what their artists can do or not do. Consumers can not only support the music they love, they can affiliate themselves with causes they believe in.

Tinkerchele has launched a Campaign in support of other Indie artist such asherself. The campaign is simply called Support Independent Music. The mission is to connect potential fans with the artist and vice verse. It is also aimed at helping to promote indie artist for FREE! As an indie artist, Tinkerchele understands just how hard and time consuming it can be to get your music out to the masses. When looking for help she found there are companies out there that offer to help, but at a cost... And since indie artist are not "mainstream" artist, they aren't receiving royalty checks worth 100'sto 1000's of dollars to pay someone to collect fans for them.
With that being said, another goal is to connect artist with other FREE resources out there to help them grow as an artist. One of Tinkerchele's greatest resources has been ReverbNation. ReverbNation has all an artist could ever want to manage their music career, and it also integrates with other sites that you may have an account with. So... Not many people are on MySpace anymore, but you had 1000's of fans on MySpace! Just link your MySpace account to your ReverbNation account! Then you can link your Facebook page, twitter, and even YouTube Account! After you've done that guess what you get? A grand total of just how many fans you really have! Also, an easier way to keep track of what's going on with your fans through your stats.
Another great site is Sunset Island Music. Tinkerchele has been able to do a lot of networking on this up and coming site for indie artist! So if you are an Independent Artist and/or a fan of Indie music, head on over and join the Cause at Support Independent Music!

Anderson Silva Open To Coaching With Chael Sonnen On TUF: Brazil
Although it was reported that Anderson Silva had declined Chael Sonnen's offer to coach alongside him in the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil, it seems that is not the end of the story.
As reported on UFC Tonight on Fox Sports 1 by Ariel Helwani, Silva's manager Jorge Guimaraes said the former champion believes it would be fun for them to coach together, and if his schedule permits, he would be open to appearing on the show.
Guimaraes also said that Silva plans on taking a month off after his UFC 168 bout against Chris Weidman, but that he will try to make it to filming and is interested in coaching with Sonnen.

Nick's has the freshest Italian food on the UES. Their pastas are delicious (and they will make them however you want), their meats are tender and tasty, and they use fresh ingredients for their pizza. They're one of my favorite places to order from. Plus, with the second avenue construction they can use the support!
Posted by Anonymous on 05/30/2010
Pizza is great, though slightly pricey for my liking. Everything else is a deal, though. Well worth it!
Posted by Eric on 05/20/2010
The pizza is absolutely awesome! And not just that, we also always get the pastas, the chicken parm, and more and it's always great. We always go here when family is in town and everyone always loves it. Prices are reasonable and service is very good. We will keep going back over and over!
Posted by capi on 05/04/2010
every time I order, feel a bit pricy but they use fresh ingredient, so we need to pay a bit more than average places. Anyway, I was disappointed they forgot one topping on my pizza and paid for it..
Posted by Mike on 04/16/2010
Just ordered in from Nicks. Salad old and stale, pizza average at best, and pasta below average. Large portions, moderate prices, low on quality. I would never order pizza from here again.
Posted by Anonymous on 12/14/2009
Nick's restaurant has the best pizza i have ever had! Not only was the food delicious but the service was excellent. Always made sure we were okay and if we needed anything else. The atmosphere was warm and cozy. Everytime I go try something new and i have not been disappointed yet. Definitely going back soon.
Posted by Anonymous on 09/24/2009
I've been a customer of Nick's for years now and have never felt so slighted by any restaurant in my life as I do tonight. The food was cold, tasteless and criminally undersized for a $50 meal AND I was told over the phone that our wilted and brown Caesar salad "sometimes happens." Our "family sized" chicken marsala was an insult once we sifted through the pile of gummy mushrooms and found 3 centimeter- thick-half-cutlets that we ate in a few bites - literally. For the prices charged, this place deserves every bit of misfortune created by the subway construction because this meal made the Olive Garden look like fine dining served with a smile.

An object is placed 20 cm in front of a converging lens of focal length 10 cm. Find the image distance.
1 Answer | Add Yours
For a lens the relation between object distance, image distance and the focal length is given by 1/Do + 1/Di = 1/f, where Do is the object distance, Di is the image distance and f is the focal length. For a converging lens the focal length is taken to be positive.
As the focal length of the converging lens is 10 cm and the the object is placed at a distance of 20 cm in front of the lens, Do = 20 and f = 10. Using the relation provided earlier:
1/20 + 1/Di = 1/10
=> 1/Di = 1/10 - 1/20 = 1/20
=> Di = 20 cm
The image is formed at a distance of 20 cm from the lens on the side opposite to that where the object is placed.

When it was originally launched in MAC in Lillyland, it was described as a "bright fuchsia," which is so much more accurate. It is a brightened, light-medium fuchsia pink with strong blue undertones. MAC Overdyed is similar but slightly darker. MAC Amazon Princess is also very similar, perhaps a touch less pink. MAC Her Blooming Cheek has a bit more of a sheen but the color comes close.

Newtown Historical Society is currently accepting applications for its 2014 Summer History Camp. The camp will be hosted at The Matthew Curtiss House, 44 Main Street, the week of July 14-18. Registration is open for children between the ages of 8-10 and offers campers a week of interactive and exciting experiences of Colonial-era life. From lantern-making to butter churning, kids will engage in activities and experiences of a Colonial child living during the 1750s. Campers will learn the tasks they might have been expected to do at home, the types of games they would have played, and the kind of food they would have eaten during the mid-18th Century.
A glass memorial to the victims of 12/14 will be unveiled at a public reception Sunday, June 29, from 1 to 4 pm, at Curtis Packaging, 44 Berkshire Road. Commissioned by local businessman Don Droppo, Sr, the 21-inch-high glass sculpture on a 26- by 30-inch base by artist Lucy Lyon is a library scene of stained glass books lining six shelves, which surround 20 tiny glass chairs.
"Mainly Main Street" is the focus for Newtown Historical Society's 2014 House & Garden Tour. Ticketholders will be able to visit several antique homes and their hidden gardens, all within the town's historic district and most within easy walking distance of the flagpole. A professionally landscaped, stunning modern renovation is just a very short drive away. This year's tour, the 18th annual presentation by the historical society, is scheduled for Saturday, June 28, rain or shine from 11 am to 5 pm.
Theatergoers looking for lighter summer fare should enjoy the dramatic comedy "I Hate Hamlet," to be presented by Town Players of Newtown. The production opens Friday, June 27, at The Little Theatre.

The mission of The Sandy Hook Project, Inc is to emphasize that the expression of love for others and yourself are key elements of healing, health and well-being; raise funds to make mental health resources affordable for those affected by the Sandy Hook School shooting; and educate about the symptoms of trauma, so that those struggling know when and how to seek help. The two groups will join together on Sunday, June 22, when the Ben's Bells Newtown studio hosts a special We Choose Love… and Kindness bead-making session.
The second annual Claris Construction Inc Summer Jam Concert Series for the children of Newtown will open inext week.

Booth Library until July 31, in an exhibition being presented by Art In Residence. An opening reception, with the opportunity meet the nine artists represented in the collection, is planned for Saturday, June 21, in the library's lower meeting room.

SMSME Update Size
Created: 14 Jan 2013 | 1 comment
I have been asked by a customer what the avery daily update size is for SMSME, does anyone know?
Comments 1 Comment • Jump to latest comment
Hello Tim,
SMSMSE uses the same virus definition file that Endpoint Protection uses. Update downloads will vary in size due to many different factors, including, increased threat landscape for the day, Engine updates, additional signatures included such as PTP and NTP, etc.
You can determine the size of the latest available definitions by visiting http://www.symantec.com/security_response/definitions/download/detail.jsp?gid=gw.
You can also look at the downloads folder on the server to determine the size of the downloads that the server has been receiving.
I hope this helps.

Shimon Peres explains Gaza like no one else (beginning at 39 minutes). Watch the body language of the other panelists — it is indeed hard to face the truth.
President Obama's approval numbers are heading south (55% in the Democracy Corps poll). Could it be the spend-a-thon non-stimulus bill? The ethics problems?
Noted and oft-quoted economist Allen Sinai "discovered some surprising things" about the stimulus plan. What unearthed gems? "First, even a very large stimulus doesn't help the economy a lot. . . Furthermore the larger the budget deficit, from tax cuts and spending, the bigger the bounce in expected future inflation and long-term interest rates. That will take the edge off future growth." Who knew? Just about every fiscal conservative economist, think tank, columnist, and organization.
Mark McKinnon on the stimulus plan: "This bill is like a rotting corpse. Every day this thing sits out in the sunlight, it starts to stink more. Public support has already dropped below 50 percent. It's impossible to get everyone to salute an omnibus bill like this, but as the details get more examination, there seems to be growing evidence that there's not all that much stimulus in the stimulus. "
This looks promising: "The Senate's No. 2 Republican warned on Sunday his party's support for President Barack Obama's economic stimulus bill was eroding and 'major structural changes' were needed to win Republican support.'You have to start from scratch and reconstruct this,' Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona told 'Fox News Sunday.'"
And sounds like the President is shifting gears as well.
Oh my, E.J. Dionne has discovered what bipartisanship is: "If achieving bipartisanship takes priority over the actual content of policy, Republicans are handed a powerful weapon." Well, yeah. Bipartisanship means the other side gets to decide some things. Dionne is having none of it — keep all that spending and forget the Republicans! Well, I suspect the Republicans might not mind that one bit.
The GOP candidate for Virginia Governor will have to save up this gem from the Washington Post, relating the comments of one of Terry McAuliff's Democratic opponents: "'There's some folks out there who think they can just stroll into Virginia without knowing about how this government works,' he says. That would be McAuliffe, the Mr. Moneybags who has turned his nationally admired fundraising machine into a cannon shooting dollars into the governor's race. 'Somebody has boned him up on his facts about the number of hours people waste commuting, but that doesn't mean he knows where the restroom is on the third floor of the Capitol.'" Aren't primary races grand?
Observing Michael Steele's election as RNC Chair, Ben Smith writes: "There is a serious question of whether this could push real committed racists, a small, but real and voting, minority, away from the GOP." Serious question by whom? And what "small, but real and voting, minority"? Hmm, he doesn't provide any statistical or anecdotal information to support such a view. (Didn't Politico used to have a blog that covered the GOP with real sources and facts, sort of actual reporting?)
While Senators may be wishy-washy, Glenn Greenwald (how often do I agree with him?) gets it right: "But there's no need to withhold judgment on Daschle himself. He embodies everything that is sleazy, sickly, and soul-less about Washington. It's probably impossible for Obama to fill his cabinet with individuals entirely free of Beltway filth — it's extremely rare to get anywhere near that system without being infected by it — but Daschle oozes Beltway slime from every pore." Dare I say it: read the whole thing.
Something is up when there is agreement between Glenn Greenwald and the Wall Street Journal editors, who conclude: "If Mr. Daschle were the stand-up guy his fellow Democrats say he is, he'd withdraw his nomination and spare them the embarrassment of confirming someone who thinks the tax laws apply only to other people."
From the roundtable on Fox News Sunday on the Iraqi elections: "I think it puts the lie to those so- called realists who always mocked the notion that — 'Can you believe it, democracy in the Middle East, voting?' This is actually — democracy is actually the thing that's been best for Iraq. And if they can be a stable, representative government, it really offers the prospect of a happy outcome to this very difficult war." Funny how no MSM reporters thought to get comment from George W. Bush (or others in his administration like Stephen Hadley) who were responsible for the decision not to abandon Iraq to chaos, despotism, and genocide.
The Obama team is not just maintaining the Bush terrorist rendition program — they are expanding it. "Current and former U.S. intelligence officials said that the rendition program might be poised to play an expanded role going forward because it was the main remaining mechanism — aside from Predator missile strikes — for taking suspected terrorists off the street." So I suppose the the Obama team made the same choice "between our safety and our ideals" as the Bush administration.

Sensor Test Box - TB10 Series
The sensor test box is a unit designed to facilitate testing of sensors in the field.
Features of Sensor Test Box - TB10 Series
- Bright LED's
- Robust PVC housing
- Internal power source to supply sensors
- Easy to use
Applications for Sensor Test Box - TB10 Series
- Required to align Wind Direction Sensor
- Will indicate if sensors are working
- Detect short circuited sensors
- determines approx. calibration of sensors
The sensor test box allows the operator to make "Good" or "faulty" decisions with ease. Although it is not accurate, it also enables an assessment of the calibration. A push switch allows to test if the battery has deteriorated too far and needs replacement before sensible results are obtained.
The short circuit LED will indicate when the current of the connected sensor exceeds 7.5 milli Amp. The "Signal" LED lights with every pulse from the sensor. This can be used when the pulsing rate is very slow. i.e. Raingauge or windspeed. The "Period" light equals the input pulse divided by 128.
This indicator can be used for sensors with a fast output pulse rate. For instance: if the input frequency is supposed to be 40 pulses/second the LED should flash once every (128/40)=3 seconds

Gear Review
Dose Dependent - Alvin
Amazing stand!
I have been a bike mechanic for three years and have used many different types of repair stands. Since I live in an apartment, I cannot purchase a bolt-in-the-ground, type 100% secure stand; however, with the ultimate pro stand, I need not even look into any other type of stand. The wide base keeps things from tipping over. To make sure, I just tossed a few 10 lbs bags of beans on two of the legs, and I need not worry about anything moving. The clamp is 100% secure. The stand is compact and light enough to be hauled to any bike race or other cycling/tri event. I purchased mine when it was on sale and then I used a 20% off coupon from backcountry.com. You cannot beat that type of deal anywhere! Oh yes, and there was free UPS shipping as well.

All-Washington Returns to SPSCC
Lt. Gov. Brad Owen will be on hand to help honor recipients at the 19th annual 2014 All-Washington Academic Team recognition ceremony on Thursday, March 27. South Puget Sound Community College again hosts the event, which begins at noon at the college's Student Union Building.
The field of honorees on this year's All-Washington Academic Team consists of 68 students representing all the state's 34 community and technical colleges. When the event began 19 years ago, 44 students from 24 community and technical colleges were honored.
Students were nominated for All-Washington recognition through a state program patterned after the national All-USA Academic Team, which Phi Theta Kappa (PTK), the international honor society for two-year colleges, initiated. By acknowledging students who demonstrate a commitment to success in the classroom and service in their communities, the program also brings attention to Washington's community and technical colleges.
Contributions from KeyBank will help provide each team member with a $250 scholarship, and every public and most independent four-year college and university in the state are offering scholarships to attend their institutions. The top-ranked student receives the New Century Scholarship, worth $2,000. The second-, third-, and fourth-ranked students will each receive $1,000 scholarships from the Trustees Association of Community and Technical Colleges (TACTC). Washington State Employees Credit Union (WSECU) is offering additional $250 scholarships to eight team members. In addition, each team member is a state nominee for the All-USA Community College Academic Team, which will be announced in April.
Along with PTK, KeyBank, WSECU and TACTC, the Washington Association of Community and Technical Colleges and the SBCTC sponsor the All-Washington event. For more information, contact Kellie Purce Braseth at (360) 596-5214 or visit www.spscc.edu/allwa.

Your Toddler at 22 Months, 23 Months, & 24 Months
Imaginative and Symbolic Play
Have you noticed your child lifting his play phone to his ear and engaging in a lively conversation—very similar to what he may have witnessed while watching you? Or has your child picked up a cup and brought it to you to take an imaginary sip of tea or cocoa?
Your toddler is entering into the fantasy world of imaginative or symbolic play, a type of play that supports many different realms in development, including cognitive growth, motor skills, language acquisition, and emotional development.
This type of play is based on imitating what toddlers have seen others do—whether at home, at childcare, or even when out running errands with Mom. His world is a palette of information from which he can pick and choose and act out those activities that seem interesting.
Parents' Roles in Symbolic Play
Toddlers are developing the skills to play cooperatively with others. You are still, by far, his favorite playmate to share his new ideas. Try to resist the urge to jump in and reciprocate with your own ideas for play. Sit back and let him take the lead. Be supportive of his ideas by describing to him what he has done. "You picked up that broom and now you are sweeping. You are such a big help for Mommy." This type of validation is supportive of his developing sense of self—his learning that he is a person capable of coming up with ideas and doing them all by himself.
If he has the opportunity to play alongside a child who is slightly older, he'll be fascinated by the older child's manipulation of objects and ideas about play. This sort of scrutiny is very enriching for the younger child. By observing and learning, he can incorporate this knowledge or variations into his own toddler play.

Gulf War Illness and 'radioactive' uranium weapons: health and environmental consequences
Wednesday 14 October 2009, 1930-2100
Biology Large Lecture Theatre
Royal Geographical Society (NW Region) and Lancaster Environment Centre Joint Seminar Series
Speaker: Prof Randy Parrish (NERC Isotope Geosciences Lab, BGS Keyworth).
Controversy surrounds the ethics and alleged consequences to health and the environment of the use of uranium-based anti-tank munitions in the Gulf Wars. This lecture will outline the background to this politically-charged topic, and show how laboratory-based measurements of uranium can help resolve fact from fiction and help to guide policy. Prof Randy Parrish is the Science Coordinator for Depleted Uranium Research of the Natural Environment Research Council and has presented his findings to the UK Ministry of Defence and the US House of Representatives Committee on Science and Technology.
Tickets are free from Tracy Quilliam: tel: 01524 510081 email: email@example.com
