Great Learning for IMYC Teachers and Leaders at Summer School 2013
The Hague, Netherlands
Academy Magazine Announces The Launch Of The IMYC
The first issue of Academy Magazine was issued this month and it included a full page review of the new International Middle Years Curriculum.
This school year is beginning with a very different learning approach for some Middle Year students as they take on the brand new International Middle Years Curriculum.
Developed by Fieldwork Education – the organisation behind the increasingly popular International Primary Curriculum (IPC) – the IMYC is a curriculum that focuses foremost on student learning. It responds specifically to the needs of 11 to 14 year-olds by encouraging independence and interdependence in their learning through discrete subjects and themes, providing learning that helps them make connections that are relevant to their own lives.
It draws on current media techniques, involves active skillsbased learning, and promotes self-reflection and the chance for students to make sense of their learning.

My son and his best friend although going to different schools 1 in Madison and 1 in Minneapolis, started a web design business CDR Web Management,and business is good...let's hope they can keep up with their education:>)
Many smart students are recognizing business opportunities and building firms while on campus.
There are huge markets, loads of talented people (students/profs), lots of tech resources, and most importantly, flexible schedules and low expectations.
It is a growing trend due to the economic realities on campus and off.
Great article and even cooler businesses. My son actually uses CaptainU - http://www.CaptainU.com - to help him get recruited to a top college soccer team. Its a great site for high school athletes, parents and coaches. good job guys.
I think this is a great way to discover new ideas, technologies and resources. I found a tremendous resource for student athletes, http://www.captainu.com, through start up nation.
i have done it from a different country ,i co-founded a new video sharing website from my home http://www.tvosz.com
well i still don't know whether it will be a success or not, i am emerging from cairo, Egypt.
So it is a little bit harder there , but let us give it a try
This is playing business, it isn't the real thing.
Hey Cactus Jack: were Bill Gates, Fred Smith, Mark Zuckerberg, Kevin Plank, and Sam Zell just 'playing business' when they were at university? They were laying the ground work for billion dollar firms that change the way we live, work, and play.
Hey, you forgot Michael Dell. But then someone will win this weekend's Lotto.
Cactus Jack -- I can see how you got your nickname. No matter, there are always critics taking pop shots from the outside while others get on with the work at hand...
Check out http://CampusEntrepreneurship.wordpress.com and see all they great things going on at universities/campuses throughout the world. You may find someone who will hire you one day.
Have a good weekend.
Not sure if i got the video but the Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization is an excellent resource for young entrepreneurs.
Another great resource for student entrepreneurs is Dorm Room Biz at http://www.dorm-room-biz.com. Great article WSJ bloggers!
Surely anyone can start business while sitting in their dorm room or studying in a class. Its a very in demand option these days because of high dependence on internet and computer among the society and also because of the fact that it starts the inflow of money.
But according to me one more important aspect of starting a successful business is the college you are studying from or have studied from. It acts like a foundation for your future. One such college that makes a strong base for your future professional life is Mc Cann school for Business and Technology and I must admit that it is doing a wonderful job by helping out thousands of students in climbing the ladder of their career fast.
I liked the variety of courses they offer under the umbrella of Business and Technology. They have both Associate Degree programs and Diploma courses. and under each category they offer more than 15 courses respectively.
McCann school has 4 campuses in Pennsylvania area. They are in Hazleton, Dickson City, Sunbury and Pottsville.
Mc Cann School gives proficiency in the areas of Accounting, Computer Science, Criminal Justice, Marketing Management, medical Assisting, Massage Therapy, Network Administration, Surgical Technology and Paralegal / Legal.
This school also puts more emphasis on practical learning and training so that students can be more attuned to the real world skill set. With this college, worries of financial aid can also be put aside because they have laid down a very detailed and comprehensive plan for financial assistance for every student.
I am not propagating this college but because i liked their course material, their approach towards education system and their faculty, i will suggest that all the aspirants of having a Business and Technology career should go and try this institution. Their website address is http://www.maccannschool.edu . It might be something you were looking for so long. Might be beneficial for you.
Big congrats to the WSJ bloggers for posting this. We started our business from a dorm room as well, and it's amazing how many ideas flow through this setting. Our little business is a college dry cleaning and laundry service for people in the dorm, so it really all goes hand in hand. If you'd like to check us out WashMyStuff.com and show your support that would be great. We are still trying to get more funding to expand but it's good to know that there are so many people that support this kind of Entrepreneurship.
Some people think starting a business is crazy or way to risky. They think 'how could you do that in this economy?!'. Or at least that is the vibe they gave when I launched http://www.DormCo.com. This online retail store of everything college dorm was no cheap on a whim start-up.
My answer to those that think it is risky is say I think working for big business is riskier. With the bottom line the most important goal, all employees are at risk. The only way to not be the at risk employee is to be the be in control boss... business owner. Congrats those launching dorm based businesses!
I dont truly feel like ive dropped bee pollen weight loss http://xiaosan1811.mywapblog.com/if-youre-able-to-walk-farther-this-7-day.xhtml. Nonetheless truly feel like a excess fat budda, although the tracksuit pants will not lie.

What can polygamy on the outskirts of Russia tell us about the effects of the financial crisis in less remote locales? A lot — or so says Cambridge anthropologist Caroline Humphrey: "In the 1990's, Russia and central Asia experienced huge economic change: what a bank was, how your career was going, what you could expect from life, everything changed overnight. And of course it had a huge impact on people's lives, from family life to politics, and polygamy is part of that whole scene. So far, we haven't had such dramatic change in the west, but you never know." Humphrey, who studies communities on the edges of the former Soviet Union, found that many men and women advocate polygamy for economic reasons. Men are in short supply and life on the rural farms many women live on is difficult. "Women say that the legalization of polygamy would be a godsend: it would give them rights to a man's financial and physical support, legitimacy for their children, and rights to state benefits," Humphrey told the Guardian.

Marx and other economists have pointed out the many implications capital structures have on many social institutions,0 0
I have almost forgotten why the government or anyone else cares a wit about the marriage issue. Is it factory workers and army draftees?
Age of consent…. that's it. Let people do whatever is they want. You want to marry your goat? Go ahead. Some of the goats I have met are better than people.1 0
Oddly enough, neither the Old Testatment nor the New condemn polygamy. Even in the New Testament, only those who wished to be elders or bishops were admonished to be "the husband of one wife" (which, oddly enough, made both Jesus and the Apostle Paul ineligible to serve!).
In the West, we have an ingrained resistance to polygamy. But even as a conservative Christian, I can see that polygamy, in and of itself, could be a valuable thing. I consider all the single mothers who are struggling to raise children without a father and in poor economic conditions. Mix this young woman with a quality couple and a different dynamic takes over. You may reach a critical mass. Suddenly day care is not an issue, more hands are available to do keep up the house, there is greater safety for all, perhaps.
Unfortunately, most men would probably look at polygamy just as a way to have a threesome (which is not, I understand, how polygamy works), or for another sexual partner. The sexual aspect seems distasteful…until us men realize that that is PRECISELY the reason we married our wives in the first place! Yes, I loved being a friend to my wife and so forth, but I had plenty of friends–and I didn't want to marry any of them! No, being a Christian, I knew that it was wrong to have sex without being married…so I married (Paul said "it's better to marry than burn").
In America/the West, all these arguments mean nothing. Few women are going to "share" their husband with some newcomer who may or may not take over the starring role. But for all the horror stories of polygamous groups, I have also heard of women/wives acting almost like sisters (in the Mormon faith–since others didn't permit it).
Very simply, in it's IDEAL form, polygamy could be a good thing that could be beneficial for all involved, I imagine (at least from the inside, since outsiders would surely look down on it). The problem is that it would likely be rare indeed to have an ideal situation. Family and sexual politics would likely lead to problems…which is why, perhaps, that polygamy is usually practiced only in insulated religious communties around America.
As the Bible says again, "All things are lawful, but not all things are expedient." It might not be a sin to have two wives, but it's likely deadly to do so…at least if you know my wife!1 0
Pooling of economic resources would be a good reason to advocate for polygamy but as AaronS above said too many people are morally against this.
It also is forgotten that many recent immigrants from Africa practice polygamy albeit in a low key fashion. Often the father will get citizenship for himself and his minor children, Then the children are able to get their multple mothers, who are wives to the man, immigrated…0 0
Only if I get to have more than one husband.2 1
@AaronS Fantastic!!!0 0
Why does everyone assume polygamy is one man with multiple wives? Would there not be situations where one woman with many husbands would be equally advantageous? Perhaps in countries where men outnumber women?2 0
Why not just match all these extra women up with all the extra men in China? Arbitrage would seem to be the solution from an economics standpoint.0 0

In making savory appetizers I found that, yes, it is non stick but sometimes leaves a crusty residue behind in the wells. Simply add about 1/2 tsp of water to each of the wells in a preheated machine and close lid for about 15-30 seconds. The water boils and steams each of the wells. Heads up, it does bubble out onto the counter a bit. Lift lid and let cool to warm and dump out any excess water and wipe with a damp cloth. All comes off with ease.

Being an alumnus of Walla Walla High School I was shocked to learn that overt or covert devil worshipping is taking place at the school.
Of course back in 1989 when I graduated I, personally, did not see any evidence of satanism in any form nor were there any class offerings in the occult.
I only attended Wa-Hi for one year so I consulted others about this sinister development and, to my surprise, no one else knew anything about it either, or maybe they wouldn't admit to it. Therefore, the worship of Satan must be taking place through guile.
I know that Beelzebub is a trickster. So, to end this madness and save our valley we must change the mascot to something other than a Blue Devil. What shall we choose? A mascot must inspire and be a source of pride. A mascot must be bold. A mascot must be a rallying point for students, parents, and the community. In other words it must be some form of idol.
But seriously, what shall we choose? How about a wolf or an eagle? Oh, those are ancient symbols of the Greek God Zeus.
How about we choose a horse? Horses are cool! That won't work either. The horse is the symbol of Poseidon also known as Neptune ancient God of the sea. The dolphin and the bull also represent Neptune, so we can't choose those either. How about we choose an ordinary cat? No, the cat is the ancient symbol of Freya the Norse Goddess of love and war. This list can go on and on.
Therefore we cannot choose any mascot without it being associated with some form of evil, or heathenism, or the occult by someone else. Perhaps we should just choose a block of cheese to go with the whine?
Nope, can't do that either, as Aristaeus is the ancient Greek God of cheese and cheese making. The only solution to this vexing situation is to not have a mascot.
Is there anything more inspiring than nothing at all? However, nothing is a hidden force and the ancient Egyptian Goddess Amaunet covers that.
We should just let sleeping dogs lie. But, dogs are the messengers for Yama the Hindu God of death.
A blue devil sounds pretty good to me and some people should just lighten up! However, I do like the old blue devil better, less cartoonish!

text: Whatever fools out there still believe LeBron James isn't a big-game clutch performer really should pay attention to the past and the present. The current NBA standings provide enough evidence to prove LBJ was working miracles by carrying the Cavs anywhere beyond the first round, the numbers show he gets it done, and the highlight reels don't lie about the game-winners and clutch shots on his resume. It's pretty clear by now that LeBron thrives on the big stage, like last night's national TV tip in Orlando when he dropped 51 points (17-25 FG), 11 rebounds and 8 assists in a Miami win … LeBron scored 23 in the first quarter, going 9-for-9 from the field and 5-for-6 at the line. Like Stan Van Gundy said, the Magic couldn't do anything because even when they stayed in front of LeBron, he was sticking jumpers on autopilot … Mid-game tweet from Hawks rookie Jordan Crawford, a.k.a. the kid who became famous in college when he dunked on LeBron: "Bron out here serving!!!! This is not Avatar this is the real thing!!" … Despite losing D-Wade (14 pts) temporarily with a lower back contusion, Miami was up by 16 going into the fourth quarter. But Orlando wouldn't go away, and suddenly it was just a three-point game with 10 seconds left after Jameer Nelson (22 pts, 6 rebs, 6 asts) hit a trey. Jason Richardson knocked the ensuing inbound pass off LeBron's leg, giving Orlando the ball back with a chance to tie. They missed J.J. Redick open the corner, though, and Ryan Anderson bricked a three that he rushed unnecessarily … Bad timing: Steve Kerr said Mike Miller is "deceptively quick" at the exact moment the camera zoomed in and showed Miller laboring to run downcourt like Peter Griffin's horse, 'Til Death … And did you hear when Kerr got all defensive about drafting Earl Clark? All Marv Albert did was mention that Kerr picked Clark when he was in Phoenix, and Kerr snapped, "What do you mean by that? Was that a shot?" Settle down, Steve … No, that was not Gheorghe Muresan sitting in the front row in Orlando. That was the GEICO caveman. Seriously, they had him at the game … Somehow we're not seeing a career in broadcasting for Tony Parker when he's done playing. After Antonio McDyess' tip-in at the buzzer gave San Antonio a win over the Lakers in one of the most exciting games of the year, TP's analysis for Cheryl Miller was, "I'm very happy he made that shot." … Early on it looked like San Antonio was going to grind out the kind of W that is painful for everybody involved, but Ron Artest sparked some life in L.A. with his hustle and defensive playmaking (even though he couldn't dribble to save his life sometimes) to make it entertaining …Read More>>

Grant Youngman, NQ5T, has a beautiful Globe King 500B displayed on his webpage. I thought of it when I saw this one at the Belton hamfest. I later found out that he had made arrangements with Gary to look it over and then decided not to buy it. Thank you, Grant.
Sometimes we all get the urge and energy to take on a project like this, but I frankly don't see how some guys can do this all the time, especially for a living. I don't know if I will ever get into a restoration project as I did this one. My officemate at work (we have shared an office for five years) knows me pretty well, and he can attest to the obsession that this became (not to mention my poor wife). So if any of you out there want to buy this rig, you know the answer :)
It was a very fulfilling and rewarding project. To take something so old and neglected and turn it into new again gives one a Zen-like feeling. By giving it your all, it keeps a part of you and you it. I love to turn the transmitter around and watch the mercury-vapor rectifiers glow purple and pulsate with modulation. Oh, the now-gone days when ham radio was in it glory, when AM was king, when on-the-air manners prevailed, when gentlemen operators respected each other (and the FCC), to flip the plate switch and talk for five or more minutes, I can go back there by turning on the Globe King 500 and its vacuum tube receiver mate. There are more and more boomer operators showing up on 3.88 Mcs (yes, megacyles) AM. Do all of us get that nostalgic when we cross the 50-year mark in our lives?
Afterword - 11/1/99
There is a fitting ending to this story.
On Sunday evening, October 24, 1999, I got a call from Leo Meyerson himself. He had read this article that was published in the October issue of Electric Radio Magazine. He called to congratulate me on the restoration and asked if the picture of the Globe King in the article was actually mine or one that I clipped from an ad. I felt very honored to get a call from Mr. WRL himself. I will always remember it. He sent me his QSL after exchanging email later.

Beurre & Sel Jammers
You should know about those cookies that were worthy of making their own jam for. Which isn't to say you need to follow suit – there's no requirement to make jam from scratch in order to make these cookies, only that you have the best possible jam to put on these buttery pedestals.
They come from Dorie Greenspan, whom I met a few years ago in Austin; after a brief introduction in the lounge on Friday night (I was there for IACP for the weekend) she spotted me a few yards away at a party the following evening, and came through the crowd to ask how my day was. Yes she did. And then Jacques Pepin came over to talk to her, and said hi to me in doing so, and then suddenly the three of us were standing there chatting – or more likely, I was standing there open mouthed and speechless with Dorie Greenspan and Jacques Pepin. It was brief, but it happened.
These cookies are made with (impeccable) shortbread dough, topped with a generous spoonful of jam (note to self: try mincemeat at Christmas) and a crumble of butter, sugar and flour, which you sort of sprinkle around; in the oven they meld together, so there's no risk of tipping cookie crumbs down your shirt with each bite.
Dorie knows her stuff, no question. But I did take some shortcuts, it being summer and all; the original recipe instructed to roll out the dough and freeze it, then cut it into rounds with a cookie cutter or glass rim and fit into the bottom of muffin tins. I did this with half, and with the other half pressed a walnut-sized lump of dough into the bottoms, and once baked, no one could tell the difference.
I used the blackberry-apricot jam, mostly, and did a few with chokecherry. I meant to make some peach-ginger jam just for this cause, but went to the beach instead. Next time. I added some chopped pecans to a few, just to see. It worked. Sliced almonds would do well too.
These are substantial cookies, and I get an odd satisfaction out of the fact that they're perfectly, evenly round, and structurally able to contain so much jam. And it turns out they're perfect for stacking, wrapping and taking to the beach to eat while sitting on a rock.
Beurre & Sel Jammers
adapted from Dorie Greenspan via Bon Appétit, December 2012
1 cup butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup icing sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 large egg yolks
2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
Streusel and filling:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
5 Tbsp. chilled butter, cut into bits
3/4 cup thick, chunky jam, such as blackberry, peach, apricot or marmalade
Make the cookie dough first – in a large bowl beat the butter, sugars and salt for a few minutes, until pale and creamy. Beat in the egg yolks and vanilla. Add the flour and beat on low speed or stir just to combine. Take walnut-sized chunks of dough and press into the bottom of muffin tins; alternatively, roll between sheets of parchment 1/4″ thick, freeze and then cut into rounds the same size as your muffin tin (I used a small glass rim).
To make the streusel, in a small bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt, then rub in the butter with a fork or your fingertips until well blended. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Drop a small spoonful of jam into the middle of each round of dough. Using your fingers or a small spoon, sprinkle 1-1 1/2 Tbsp streusel around edges of each cookie, trying not to get any in the jam.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the sides and streusel are golden; cool until warm enough to handle, then use a thin knife to remove the cookies from the pan.
Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

I didn't even notice that they were baked in a muffin tin. I'm sitting here open-mouthed imagining being in the presence of Jacques Pepin!

Sunny days were in abundance this summer, and though we didn't hear many complaints, some days were downright hot! The warm, dry weather had certain perks—lingering in Nugget Pond, for instance—and disadvantages. Smoke from nearby wildfires briefly blocked our mountain views in late July. Staff took advantage of the warm weather with ambitious hiking (more on those adventures here), as well as swimming, canoe water polo, and inner-tubing forays down Moose Creek.
Lest we remember summer 2009 for only its mild, cloudless days, a snow storm rolled through on September 21, wrapping up summer and reminding us that weather can change on a dime here in the Alaska Range. The closing crew will remember the storm particularly well, as they had to use chains to drive through the snow it dumped on the road in order to get out of the park!
5/13 Red Fox delivered a freshly caught Ptarmigan to two kits at Polychrome Pass.
5/24 White Wolf seen across the road from North Face Lodge.
6/17 Near East Fork Cabin, two Grizzly cubs climbed five feet up a small willow and then climbed down, dropping the last two feet to solid ground.
6/21 An American Dipper, "dipping" near the weeping wall on Moose Creek, disappeared into a nest cavity in the moss.
6/23 Hikers stumbled upon a dead Dall lamb in a steep and narrow pass between Polychrome and the West Fork of the Toklat River. The lamb, only 15" from nape to tail, was in otherwise unharmed condition and appeared to have died in a fall.
6/23 Sow Grizzly and three cubs attempted a minor river crossing of Big Stony. The cubs barked and whined as the sow persistently nudged them into crossing. Giving up, she grabbed each by the scruff of the neck and carried them individually.
6/25 Two Short Eared Owl hatchlings, quiet and fuzzy, seen in a tundra nest in Highway Pass.
7/8 Lynx slinked up the driveway to midcamp and then sprinted down the path to Nunatak cabin.
7/23 Four Surfbirds near Pika Hut on Camp Ridge.
8/28 Belted Kingfisher chased by a Merlin at Wonder Lake.
8/29 Noctilucent clouds in southern sky at 10:30 PM.
9/2 Wolves howling at moonrise from the Moose Creek terrace heard from the front steps of Potlatch.
9/7 Many V's of Sandhill Cranes, totaling more than 500, flew over the lodges throughout the day.
9/7 Wolverine on Mt. Thorofare.

In 1964, the Wilderness Act was signed into law. At the time it protected over nine million acres of federal land according to rigorous standards that represent the highest level of federal land protection in the United States. Fifty years later, 109.5 million acres have Wilderness designation, 52% of those in Alaska, including Denali's original, two million-acre core.
For five days in July 1963, the Executive Council of The Wilderness Society held their annual meeting at Camp Denali. In attendance was a truly impressive list of people well-known for their pioneering work in land and wildlife conservation: Olaus and Margaret Murie, Adolf and Louise Murie, Howard Zahniser, and Sigurd Olson, among others. In the Tundra Telegram from that year Ginny describes what a good show the park put on for the group:
The weather cooperated and so did the caribou migration. A highlight of the meeting was the Friday trip to Eielson Visitor's Center, from which point hikers scattered in all directions, following caribou bands or simply exploring the canyons, ridges, and the Thorofare River bar.

Clever Gardening Technique
Make Leaf Mold
In my new garden, I have an out-of-the-way spot that's perfect for making leaf mold. Producing this nutritious soil additive from autumn leaves is relatively easy because it is a simple, natural process. Given enough time, all plant-based material will decay into crumbly, rich organic matter. When raked into a pile and left to sit, however, leaves require a year or more before they are ready to used as an amendment or top dressing. Speed up the process by shredding the leaves in a grinder, keeping the pile moist, and turning it every couple of weeks. The addition of a nitrogen-rich fertilizer, such as cottonseed meal, will also kick off decomposition and shorten the time to a usable product.

Cowboys would receive first-round pick for Marcus Spears
I want to attempt to clear up some confusion on the tender the Cowboys made to Marcus Spears and what they would receive as compensation if he were allowed to leave.
And some of it has to do with Miles Austin.
The Cowboys put the "original round" tender on Spears of $1.226 million on Thursday. I stated previously that the Cowboys would receive only a second-round pick in return if they chose not to match an offer.
Not so fast, my friends.
That would be true had the Cowboys placed only the "first-round" tender on Miles Austin, who was undrafted in 2006. Because the Cowboys put the "first- and third round" tender on the undrafted Austin, the Cowboys would actually receive a No. 1 pick in return for Spears, according to the NFL.

I am looking to buy sewing machines for my daughters for Christmas.. They will be almost 7 and almost 7 1/2 then. This is what they both asked for. They do have special needs and can get frustrated and so I am really looking for machines that will meet their needs and also not spend too much.
I dont want to go the "toy" route as it would just end up frustrating them as the toys dont sew very well and are not durable.
I am looking for this machine to last for them until they are about 13 or so or longer.
The features that I am looking for are a one step button hole, reverse, straight stitch, zig zag stitch and maybe just a couple more. Nothing fancy but able to actually sew through a few layers of fabric for them to make doll blankets or whatever without issues. Mechanical or computerized does not matter.. as long as durable and simple. A 3/4 size machine would be nice but I wont pay for for a 3/4 size machine that for the same features on a full size.
They will only be sewing supervised in a public area and not their rooms so we dont have sewing accidents on RTW things lol.
I really dont want to spend more than $100 since I am buying 2 off them. I am considering the Brother LS 590, Brother XL 2600i, Brother HS 2500 refurb. , brother XL 3750 refurb, Janome 11558 Refurb.
Is there any other machines that are in this price point and specifications that I should be considering ?
Do any of you have any advice or experience pros or cons of any of these machines?
I am an adoptive mother and the special needs issues are mental and and behavioral and academic due to their multiple diagnosis including FAS, ADD, ADHD, Bipolar. I am thrilled that they want to learn to sew! My mother began teaching me to sew when I was 5.. and so to share this legacy with my daughters is really a dream come true.
------Adoptive Mom to 3 with FASD + ABC diagnosis ages 7,7, 10
mid 80s singer ( retired.. but keeping for memories.. first sewing machine) , Brother XR 65-T. Simplicity Frontier Serger, Kenmore 19606, Juki HZL -F600
Honestly the way you described them is the sewing thing such a good idea at this age? Sewing is all about patience. Have they sewn on a machine before? I would really think about this.
If I am understanding correctly, say you would like a machine that would last for several years and also prefer full size and have a budget of $100 each for 2 machines.
I suggest that you check out the Jem Gold and Jem Silver models that are still offered at on line dealers though they are now discontinued models. These are smaller machines that perform like bigger machines and were made for quilters and the Sewing Guild to take to classes and guild meetings. In fact the Jem Silver is a special anniversary model with the ASG logo on it and on the little carry bag. I purchased one for $199 years ago on line.
I have seen them on line as low as $150 but originally I think the cost before they were discontinued was around $350-$399. I think Janome also gave them as a gift with purchase for a TOL model.
I gave a Jem Silver to one of my married daughters as a wedding gift several years ago. These are machines of quality made by Janome out of Taiwan and have a top load horizontal bobbin and horizontal thread spool. These are basic mechanical machines but have the most needed stitches like blind hem etc. They also make a beatiful 4 step buttonhole which many of the smaller machines do not.
I think it is great that your girls want to learn to sew. I have 29 dgk's and now 3 of the dgd's are learning to sew. One of the girls has a Janome large full size model that does not perform very well and it is a fairly recent model. I wish she had a Janome Jem that I think she would enjoy so much more. Her mom bought her a basic 4 thread serger off of CL and boy she does enjoy that serger and she is only in 6th grade and has made several items that she created on her own.
Another dgd was given an inexpensive Brother machine last year. It is a very basic model. She is so in love with the machine, and thinks it is sooo pretty too so she loves to use it. I went over to teach her how to FM quilt on her machine and found it did not have a drop feed and she had lost the feed cover plate that come wth the machine. We will just try and find her a feed cover plate now cause she truly loves that machine.
I hope your girls will love their machines too and love learning to sew on them. -- Edited on 10/18/11 4:45 PM --
The Janome sew mini sewing machine is on sale at hancockfabrics.com for $49.99 right now. It's not a toy. It's a real sewing machine. Check out the PR reviews - there several of them. Looks like a good decent machine for the price. I am inclined to buy one for my granddaughter, but the shipping cost to Hawaii is too high. Good luck!
Thank yall for your input so far. To answer a reviewer: patience is a virtue that all people need to learn whether special needs or not . All 3 of my children are on medications so they are not nearly as spazzed out as they would be without. ( my son is in an RTC right now and really not interested in sewing. First thing in the morning before meds kick in and right before bedtime after meds wear out is the most challenging time and so sewing.. along with schooling is just not doable but there are alot of very teachable moments inbetween those hours. They require more supervision than other children their age. however one of their strong points is mimicing which includes learning skills.. ( not academics) In addition I want them to explore their options of what they can do, creative or otherwise. Rocket scientist they will honestly never be but it would be a good thing to learn a life skill such as sewing whether for practical reasons or pure joy. If after trying for a while they hate it then no I would not hold that agaist them at all but all I can do is atleast give them that opportunity especially if they specifically ask for it after watching me and knowing that I make them clothing and such. kwim?
One option that may be worth considering is to convert a vintage motorized machine to a hand crank machine.
4-H Sew Green (opens a PDF)
This PDF is about a 4-H activity where you provide kids hand-crank machines to make a small project (a bean bag). However, it has LOTS of information about how to convert a vintage machine to a hand crank, including links to additional online resources. A Singer 99 or a Singer Spartan are smaller (3/4 size) machines that can be converted this way, but you can also convert a full size machine. Lots of helpful advice in the PDF.
Sew-Classic sells the needed spoked hand wheel and crank. (I'm sure there are other vendors who sell these parts, too.) Together, these two parts cost about $30. Notice also the Finger Needle Guard.
If a vintage machine has a cast-on motor mount, then you can probably convert it to a hand crank machine. Any vintage machine with bad wiring or a dead motor could be a candidate for conversion and a new life as a kid sewing machine.
I have a son with serious focus/attention issues despite above average intelligence. But he does better with the steps of sewing than other ordered tasks. Go figure... The Janome Sew Mini I had was loud and crappy. But I got a Kenmore Mini Ultra for $50. Maybe a vintage machine? Maybe one machine, since supervising is hard enough anyway? Just thoughts, though it's obvious you are a thoughtful mom.
------🌸 Plenty of machines, mostly Berninas 🌸
I teach sewing to youngsters. One thing that you may want to take into consideration is a machine with speed control. It's really great for little ones because you can turn the speed down to where the needle isn't going much more than a very slow crawl even if you jam the peddal all the way down.
At 7 years old you might want to start with hand sewing first. You might find out that that is about all they can handle. I don't usually suggest that you start until around 9. There's two reasons, one is the attention span issue and second is the dexterity issue. Most kids at age 7 want to sew for 10-15 minutes and then they are done for the day. My own daughter I started at 7, with some very simple projects, but there were days I wanted to ship her off.
Good luck on the search.
------It's not your mamma's sewing.....It's your great grandmamma's
What a timely topic! I'm in the process of converting a featherweight to a handcrank for a seven year old niece. I was worried about speed control and thought she could learn with a hand crank first. After she gets the hang of it, I'll put the motor and belt back on. It only has straight stitch and reverse, but that's all she needs right now for her dolls. I am not affiliated with the seller, but there is a seller on eBay who makes hand cranks for featherweights. I had a featherweight that I found on craigslist which had not been previously loved, so I cleaned it up, tuned it up, added a pink cover, and now it's ready for a new life!

First paragraph (this article has no abstract)
China has the largest numbers of cancer patients worldwide but has limited pathology resources. According to a survey done by Chinese Pathologists Association, a large number of pathologists in clinical practice in China has only one year of formal or informal training. Only in recent year, formal pathology residency programs similar to those of Western countries are available in a couple of large medical schools, where limited numbers of well-trained and experienced pathologists are located. When having rare or complex cancer pathology cases, pathologists often have difficulty in making an accurate diagnosis. Mistakes in cancer diagnosis are not uncommon, which often leads to inadequate treatment of patients and medical legal problems. Thus, there is a great need for pathology consultation and quality control of cancer diagnosis in China.

Honesty is the worst policy
I was once a very good and honest boy,
Never stole a chocolate nor a comics or a toy.
Till last time I went to that neighborhood store
To buy some chocolates and some things more
I took a dollar and some pennies from my loving mom,
I said her I'll buy those and then I'll come back home.
As usual I took the money and went to that shop,
I passed some houses and I greeted each mob.
They knew me very nicely and they loved me a lot,
But I didn't know what'll happen next and why I'll get caught.
I entered the store to search what I needed,
I asked for some chocolates to the teen who was seated.
He took me to the chocolate shelf and put some in his pockets,
He took all the costly lozenges and some orange flavoured rockets.
I was a very very good boy and advised him not to steal them.
He said me not to poke my nose and suddenly the manager came.
He caught the boy for stealing the chocolates and slapped him very feebly,
But the boy said he was innocent and put all the blames on me.
I started convincing the staff out there,
But no one believed me and no one showed care.
They all said me a thief and my uncle called my mother,
My mother started slapping till she was stopped by some other.
Later I came to know that the manager was the thief boy's dad,
To save his son he called me thief and this thought made me mad.
The entire mob who loved me a lot
Left me alone from the day I was caught
I said them I am not a thief, though, now I am,
I steal from shops and houses and bungalows of rich ma'am.
I have become a thief though it's not my legacy,
After learning a golden rule 'Honesty is the worst policy'.

Computational Studies of Molecular Complexes
This group uses supercomputing resources for carrying out quantum chemical calculations on the structures and internal dynamics of weakly bound molecular complexes. Their most recent interests involve complexes of carboxylic acids such as HCOOH, with species such as HNO3, SO3, and H2SO4. The carboxylic acid - HNO3 system, for example, is an interesting case of a species formed from a strong acid and a weak acid, and provides a valuable complement to previous studies this group has carried out on nitric acid complexes with a variety of bases. Additional work involving larger carboxylic acids is planned. Moreover, ongoing work investigates the role of carboxylic acids in the formation of atmospheric sulfuric acid, and has led to the recent discovery of a new species, formic sulfuric anhydride, that may play a role in sulfate aerosol nucleation. The researchers are also actively studying complexes of pyridine and fluorinated pyridines. These systems help in understanding the competition between n-pair and pi bonding in hydrogen bonded species.
The common theme among all of these studies is that they provide fundamental information about intermolecular interactions. This information has application in the understanding of liquids and solutions and, at times, offers foundational knowledge for atmospheric science. Ab initio and DFT calculations are used in this work to aid in the assignment of spectra, and supplement the interpretation of results. The combination of theory and experiment provide a more complete picture of the systems this group studies than can be obtained from either one alone. MSI support also provides the flexibility to address new questions as they arise.

"I fell in love with this card once I received the "sample" copy I knew I had to get it and that it would work perfectly with my theme. I added my touches to it and they turned out GREAT, atleast thats what all my friends & family have told me. The printing on the back could have been a tad clearer however it might have been the quality of photo I provided ."
