Android: Open Apps Success Story
Just one week since Google opened Android Market for external applications, and already the medialets blog has announced 167 downloaded apps.
The old favourite Pac Man game and a weather channel have proven to be the most popular downloads, numbering between 50.000 and 250.000.
Android Market itself doesn't give us absolute download values and medialets statistics are self-founded. As yet there are no official numbers from Google. In particular, the blog examines and compares the market positions of iPhone and Android. Between 667.00 and 2.5 million downloaded applications have been counted for Android to date, with tools, games, lifestyle, multimedia and productivity the most successful categories.

The apartments needed a good cleaning. Beds were clean. Floors needed a good sweep under furniture. Could have used darken drapes in bedroom Was about 10 miles from main, road but views made it worth the ride up the hill.

This is an original character of mine, named Darius (after one of my cats, of all things...) The critter draped around his shoulders is supposed to be an iguion (from FF though it was damn-all hard to find a decent reference for one. So... I sorta gave up and faked it.
His braids are a royal pain to draw. x.x
His braids are a royal pain to draw. x.x
He looks great especially his hair style! And the creature around his neck is great! Nice job with the shadows!!
This is so awsome!! ^_^ his face and hair are wonderful!!

Wow the scales adn his clothes are so nicely shaded..great work here..
i like it
Nice concept art here, this kind of art has always been a fav of mine.
KUPO to you my friend.
KUPO to you my friend.
cool! I could really see some kind of arched border around this one... some kind of braided, or runic patterns on it, ivy growing off it....
thats really cool! +fav

Tony Jones, discussing Rob Bell's Love Wins, asks:
Is God outside of time, or is God somehow bound to time as we experience time? … Rob takes biblical words dealing with eternity to mean the transcendence of time. This would seem to imply that God transcends time. But if God transcends time, what does it mean to say that God eventually gets what God wants? Is God bound by time or not? And, if not, what does "eventually" mean?
I realize such questions can seem like the old debates about how many angels could dance on the head of a pin, but from my own pinheaded perspective, I find such questions fascinating.
I also suspect they may be important — actually of practical, day-to-day usefulness. Because if time isn't all there is, then we likely haven't got a very good perspective for thinking about things like constancy and change, cause and effect, choice, consequence, prevention, preparation, prediction, predestination, foreknowledge, memory, repetition, remorse, growth, death and rebirth. None of those things could possibly appear the same if viewed from outside of time. None of those could possibly appear the same to one not bound, as we are, in time.
If I ran the zoo, the book I would add to orientation for every seminary would be Edwin Abbott's odd little allegory, Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions.
It's an enormously helpful book for those attempting to think about things we're not quite capable of really comprehending. That makes it as appropriate for seminary as it is for classes in mathematics and physics. Abbott walks us right up to the edge of what we're able to think about, then points off into the abyss. He helps to explain not just that we are unable to understand what's going on out there beyond the edge, but why we are unable to understand it.
And that, I think, is a very helpful thing for those beginning their studies in seminary. If one begins studying theology without appreciating that the subject, by definition, includes much that one will be unable to understand, then one will wind up doing it wrong.
"Eternity" is one of those words theologians toss around as though they or the rest of us were capable of really understanding what it means. We understand what they mean to mean when they use that word, but neither what they meant nor what we understood them to mean is even close to being adequate.
"Eternity," we think, "that's a very long time."
But of course that's precisely what it isn't. We use "eternal" as a synonym for "for all time," but those are actually antonyms. Eternity is what you get when you're out of time — beyond time.
This is something I can't grasp. I can't even remember the future, how am I supposed to understand eternity? I've spent my entire life in time, moving through time — always in the same direction, at the same rate, without ever being able to stop — and I literally can't imagine anything else.
What I can try to do, though, is to understand the limits of my ability to understand, and the misunderstandings that are bound to arise if I try to go beyond those limits.
And but so, Flatland. Here's a bit of a rushed summary that doesn't nearly do it justice.
Abbott's hero is a square — an actual square, a two-dimensional, four-sided object who lives on the great plane of Flatland, a two-dimensional world.
One day our hero comes across the strange realm of Lineland, whose inhabitants are one-dimensional dots living out their lives along the line of their little world. To them, our hero doesn't appear as a square, just as another dot at the point where he intersects Lineland. He tries to explain to them that he is actually two-dimensional, but that just blows their poor little 1-D minds.
I have two dimensions, the square tells the Linelanders, not just East-West, but also North and South. East and West the Linelanders understand perfectly, but North and South? Above and below the line of Lineland? That's just crazy talk — nonsense.
After giving up on his frustrating conversation with the Linelanders, our hero comes across another strange character. This guy is a circle, but he has this neat trick where he changes size.
The circle explains to our hero that he isn't actually changing size because he isn't a circle at all. He's actually a three-dimensional sphere, and he only appears to be changing size to our hero due to his moving up and down through the plane of Flatland. And now it's our poor hero's turn to have his own little 2-D mind blown.
Up and Down? You mean North and South?
No, not North and South — Up and Down.
More crazy talk and nonsense.
But then the Sphere does something that our hero didn't think to do for the poor little dot-people of Lineland. The Sphere takes our four-sided, 2-D friend up out of Flatland into the third dimension of space.
From up there in Up, our hero can look down and see the whole of Flatland laid out before him. He can see inside his neighbors houses — inside his neighbors themselves. By transcending the 2-D world of Flatland, he is able to see the whole thing at once, in its entirety. It's fantastic, beyond anything he'd ever imagined. Our hero's mind is well and truly blown.
Let's keep going, he says to the Sphere. Let's go farther or further or whichever is the right word for it. If there is a third dimension, there must be a fourth, and a fifth and on and on. Further up and further in! Let's keep going.
Four dimensions? the Sphere says. That's crazy talk. Nonsense.
And so it always seems.
Everything we say when we talk about eternity tends to reflect this basic existential inability to grasp what it is we're trying to talk about. Here I am moving through time at a single speed in a single direction, unable not to do so. Trying to describe eternity to me is about as hopeful a proposition as trying to describe North to a Linelander, or Up to a Flatlander.
And yet we carry on doing theology and saying things like "God is eternal," glibly unconcerned with our inability to understand even one of those three words in a way that does any of them justice. We carry on speaking of eternity as though it meant only a very long time ("if a sparrow … sharpened its beak …") and as though that endlessness were the most confusing or most interesting or most important aspect of the difference between time and eternity. No beginning — that's much trickier. Beyond linear sequence — that's downright bewildering. I couldn't grasp that if I lived for 1,000 more years. Living for 1,000 more linear, sequential years would likely only further cement my inability to grasp that.
St. Augustine was better than most of us at thinking about this sort of thing — or at thinking about how we're not well-equipped to think about this sort of thing. Centuries ago he wrote a fantastic, brain-bending riff about the hazards of trying to apply the logic of cause-then-effect to the category of eternity, the misleading dangers of using time-bound terms to describe that which is beyond time. Yet Augustine, a human living in time just like the rest of us, then turned around and wrote with misplaced certainty of his belief in "predestination" and "foreknowledge" — using just exactly those time-bound words with all that they entail of likely irrelevance outside the narrow bounds of our little world here in Timeland.
One of the things I like most about Abbott's "Romance of Many Dimensions" is the way he portrays anger as the consistent response to people confronted with the mind-blowing possibility of a world beyond their ken — whether it's the dots of Lineland being confronted by the impossible thought of North and South, or the shapes of Flatland confronted by the impossible suggestion of Up and Down, or the previously affable Sphere losing his patience over the suggestion that they keep going past the third dimension to the fourth and fifth and beyond.
That anger, a product of fear and stubbornness and simple incomprehension, is precisely how we tend to respond to being confronted by the idea that reality is, in some ways, just too big for us to easily understand. In understanding that anger, Abbott forgives it, and in forgiving it, he helps us to get past it. And that, too, is a big part of why, if I were in charge, every student entering seminary would be required to read his book during orientation.
The alternative to that anger is humility. Here we are, finite, mortal creatures bound in time trying to speak with certainty about things that transcend our ability to grasp. Some of us are quite clever by the standards of finite, mortal, time-bound cleverness, but still reality is bigger than we are. We want to understand — and that's good. But sometimes that desire to understand causes us to pretend that things transcending our understanding are actually quite simple — that they are just as finite and limited as we are ourselves.
All of which brings me back to Tony's questions and my own attempts to answer them from the limited perspective of my own little 4-D Timelander brain.
"Is God outside of time, or is God somehow bound to time as we experience time?"
God is present in this universe — present with us — and this universe is a thing in time. But God is also present beyond/above/outside (we haven't got a good word for this) this universe. God is bound by love for this universe, and it is bound in time. God is bound by love for us, and we are bound in time. But apart from love, I wouldn't want to suggest that anything can or does bind God.
Is God bound by time? No. God is bound only by love, which is to say that God is bound only by God.
It might help to simply replace the word "time" in Tony's questions with the word "space."
Is God outside of [space], or is God somehow bound to [space] as we experience [space]? … Rob … would seem to imply that God transcends [space]. … Is God bound by [space] or not?
I don't know or understand enough about physics to say whether that's an analogy or just an equivalent statement. From what I think I understand, it makes no sense to say that God is "omnipresent" and then to pretend that an omnipresent being is stuck, just like us, at a fixed point in time, moving inexorably in a single direction.
If we believe that God is omnipresent — present in all presents — then we ought to acknowledge that God's perspective differs from our own in exponentially greater ways than the Sphere's perspective transcended that of Abbott's square hero.

My wife and I bought bikes three months ago, and we'd really like to take them on our annual camping trip to the redwoods. But I'm having trouble envisioning how we're going to secure them against theft. I want to take them, but only if I have some confidence they will be as protected as they are when we lock them before going into the grocery store. Right now I have no such confidence. And yet I don't want to leave them at home if somebody else can come up with a good idea.
There's nothing in the campsite to which we could attach our Kryptonite locks. There's a heavy wooden picnic table and a few young redwood trees on which we could use the 5/8-inch cable-lock; but I wouldn't want to rely solely on a cable-lock. I would prefer not to remove the wheels and seatposts every day to stow the bikes in the backseat of our Honda Accord, assuming they would fit. Our tent is big enough (barely) that we could stow both bikes inside, even at night; but during the day, if we're away from camp without our bikes, I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving them in the tent if our only safeguard against temptation, besides locking the bikes together, were the honor system that seems to have kept our sleeping bags and camp stove secure every year.
Any campers out there who've surmounted this problem? I would appreciate any ideas.

Theissen: F1 set for less 'political' year
|By Jonathan Noble
|Friday, January 19th 2007, 11:10 GMT
Formula One is unlikely to see a return of the kind of politics and arguments between the manufacturers and the FIA that dominated last year.

Battersea Power Station
Battersea Power Station and its chimneys have been an iconic part of the London skyline since the time of their construction between 1929 and 1955. The complex exhibits the important collaboration between the architects J Theo Halliday and Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, including Halliday's overall "four square" arrangement and Scott's "streamlining" of the exterior and the stepped chimney pedestals. The station has become as synonymous with London as the red telephone boxes Scott also created. Since 1983, Battersea Power Station has been closed to the public, marking a thirty-year period of abandonment and lack of appropriate maintenance. After being first listed on the Watch in 2004, the Power Station's impending demolition was averted. Ten years later, its' future is once again in question. Located on prime real estate, the site is slated for imminent redevelopment. There is concern that current plans do not adequately protect the iconic chimneys and the important viewsheds of the power station's silhouette.
How We Helped
Battersea Power Station was one of nine recipients of a grant from American Express for sites on the 2014 Watch, to support awareness-raising public programs. The 2014 Watch Day was celebrated with an architectural walking tour of sites around the complex, led by knowledgeable guides. Discussion of waterfront issues, such as riverside development, culminated in a talk on the challenges facing Battersea Power Station, held outside of the main gates. To further the awareness of Battersea Power Station and its preservation challenges, a documentary film is being produced in collaboration with Spectacle Productions. It details the building's historic and cultural significance, its present-day part in one of the largest redevelopment projects in London, and the controversial debate that has arisen around the site's future. To celebrate the release of the documentary, a Watch Day event will be held to launch the film and bring together the community of supporters who are vested in securing the site's future.
Why It Matters
Sir Giles Gilbert Scott's graceful Battersea Power Station defines the river Thames just west of the Houses of Parliament in London. The buildings' streamlined exterior design and Art Deco interiors, and the engineering achievements of its turbine and heating systems, are a testament to the structure's extraordinary significance. It is a historic fixture for Londoners and visitors to the city alike, and its popularity and iconic status has been cemented in pop culture through appearances in films, TV, album covers, advertising, and other media. Particular fame comes from its appearance on the cover of Pink Floyd's 1977 album "Animals." The building was featured as an "icon" of London in the closing ceremony of the 2012 Olympics, and repeatedly tops lists of favorite buildings in polls of both the public and professionals. The local community is engaged and vested in the future of their swathe of London, and the international community recognizes the cultural significance of this twentieth-century icon.

old work back in 2010.
Feelings are such fragile things.
Feelings are such fragile things.
beautiful! reminds me of yoshitaka amano
Simple, but very beautiful!
One of my favorites of yours
Feelings are, because they don't last forever. If only more recognized that fact. Lovely interpretation of it. The balloon in a good symbol to use since it's light and airy -like how feelings are, when you first have them- and then they eventually pop because it doesn't last. I'm thinking the black ink is what's left of those feelings, and it's usually drowning. I see the keyhole as where the heart is, and how feelings are said to come from there.
good work : )
really gorgeous
Wow this is amazing! Very poetic and beautiful. I like the composition!
Nice drawing!!!
I kept thinking about this drawing and the cracked balloon and I imagine the spill to be liquid helium which would be very very cold
and your description "Feelings are such fragile things"
It made me feel sad

Problem Statement
Receiving a stopped-extension-dll exception on the Azure Active Directory connector when running either of the single step run profiles:
In this scenario, it appears as if the connection to Azure is failing. Neither the Full Import nor Delta Import would work and would fail with the same error. Did not test the export, but if it is a connection issue most likely this run profile step would fail as well.

Collapse is a series of events that sometimes span years.
Each event increases in volatility over the last event,
but as time goes on these events tend to condition the masses.
a convo with ones self doesnt signify insanity or lonliness it signifies ones own worth. So either im too poor to be paid attention to or too rich to seem plausible to be listen to

An old Hindu legend tells a story of the coming of man in the dawn of the morning of the world. In this legend the Gods began to feel threatened by the quality of man's activity, his power, and his immortality. They started to perceive man as a real threat to their own sovereignty. And so, fearing that man would eventually overthrow them, the Gods took steps to reduce man's powers.
After some debate it was decided that the best way to achieve a weakening of human potential was to take away his immortality. If man could be made to loose awareness of his immortal state his power would be all but lost to him. Man would be afflicted with the weakening condition of facing a life leading only to death. All that the Gods needed do to was to separate man from his Godhead. This they would hide where man would never find it.
But when they debated among themselves where they should hide his stolen godhead they soon realised that this solution would not prove to be quite as easy as they had assumed.
"Man is a mighty hunter", they pondered. "If we hide it on the highest mountain he will climb it. If we bury it deep in the earth, there he will dig and tunnel. If we sink it in the deepest ocean he will explore the bottom of the very depths".
Pretty soon they began to despair, looking from one to another with shrugs of hopelessness.
"There is no place he will not seek", they concluded.
But Brahma said "Give it to me and I will hide it where he will never think to look for it". They were doubtful, and wanted to know where Brahma would hide man's godhead but he would not tell them.
Brahma, in his wisdom, had found the one place that man would never think to seek, even though he will go restlessly up and down mountains, far and wide across the globe, and to the depths of the deepest ocean overcome by death again and again – he hid it within man himself.

If your pregnant with second or third question for you
I have 4 and last time I waited until 16 weeks. but this time we already told them all. I expected some upset boys (11 and 8) but they are very excited. We told them early so we could reassure them and help them prepare for the up coming. plus I normally end up on bedrest. But they ended up so excited I guess we could have waited.
when I start showing....Only because my son will be too excited and not understand it takes 9 months b4 baby can come out.
and my dd is too young to even understand.

Well, we've already told ours! Our kids at 2.5 and 4 years old. I thought I would wait (for a fear of them blabbing) but I let it all out the day I took the test! We've also already told our immediate family members. I know there is a risk, but I value their support no matter what happens.
I'm only about 5 weeks at this point but one of my favorite moments is seeing my 4 year old daughter's giddish smile every time I show her my little (still flat) belly and tell her there is another baby in there. I think she remembers me pregnant with her little brother... and she loves mommy being pregnant. It's so cute!

Convenience Drives Popularity of Mixed-Use Developments
BYLINE: Staff Reporter
Convenience, security and community are driving South Africa's growing demand for mixed-use property developments, according to Nedbank Corporate Property Finance.
Ken Reynolds, the Gauteng regional executive at Nedbank Corporate Property Finance, said mixed-use developments had been steadily evolving into living and working areas of choice for increasing numbers of South Africans over the past decade.
Given the many benefits of these multi-faceted property solutions, they were likely to continue evolving into a viable way forward for South Africa's sprawling, often distressed cities, Reynolds said.
He argued that there were a multitude of benefits for residents, business owners and city planners that were jointly key drivers of the growing appeal of mixed-use developments, particularly in and around South Africa's major cities.
"While the reasons South Africans are gravitating towards mixed-use developments are as diverse as the design of these developments themselves, it's clear that transport, security and convenience considerations are key drivers of the trend, which means that as local governments continue to prioritise transport infrastructure as a means of addressing the challenges of urbanisation, the popularity of mixed-use developments is almost guaranteed to continue increasing exponentially," he said.
Reynolds said the diversity of mixed-use developments across South Africa meant it was impossible to precisely define their format or design, but the premise behind the concept was fairly consistent and typically involved a blend of residential, commercial and, sometimes, industrial properties either within a single building or a precinct.
However, irrespective of the format of the various mixed-use developments, the benefits they offered residents, business owners and tenants were generally the same, and similarly compelling, he said.
"Given the centralisation, compactness and proximity to facilities and amenities provided by most mixed-use developments, their primary appeal is almost always convenience, and when this is coupled, as it so often is, with pleasing design aesthetics, excellent security, and a strong sense of community living, it's not hard to see why mixed-use is fast becoming the development approach of choice in many areas of our country."
Reynolds was confident this trend was set to continue and expand as the benefits of mixed-use developments became more apparent, not just to property developers, but also to local authorities that were facing massive challenges in terms of addressing urban sprawl through innovative densification policies. …

I have a binary file that I would like to read with Fortran. The problem is that it was not written by Fortran, so it doesn't have the record length indicators. So the usual unformatted Fortran read won't work.
I had a thought that I could be sneaky and read the file as a formatted file, byte-by-byte (or 4 bytes by 4 bytes, really) into a character array and then convert the contents of the characters into integers and floats via the transfer function or the dreaded equivalence statement. But this doesn't work: I try to read 4 bytes at a time and, according to the POS output from the
inquire statement, the read skips over like 6000 bytes or so, and the character array gets loaded with junk.
So that's a no go. Is there some detail in this approach I am forgetting? Or is there just a fundamentally different and better way to do this in Fortran? (BTW, I also tried reading into an
integer*1 array and a byte array. Even though these codes would compile, when it came to the read statement, the code crashed.)

Process aimed at computing variance between actual and budgeted or targeted levels of performance, and identification of their causes.
Use variance analysis in a sentence
At the end of the fiscal year the budget analyst was asked to provide a variance analysis of the prior year in preparation for the new budget.
The variance analysis was in and we were boggled at how strange it was to read the findings of the analysis.
You need to check out the variance analysis and try to figure out what is causing all of the big swings.

Poplar Room is a Children's House classroom on the Toledo Campus. Sarah Knox and Amy Wagner are the classroom's co-teachers.
2015-16 Toledo Children's House
Dates to Know [PDF]
Reading, Writing, Singing, and Dancing
Posted by Children's House Music
I want to thank all the families that came to First Thursday today. I also want to share with you the handout (below).
Structure of the Music/Literacy Lessons
I start with a Music and Movement lesson for the whole class. We warm up our voices and bodies and have a lot of fun. After a couple of songs at circle I spread the children around the room so that we have space to hop, jump, and wiggle without bumping into our friends while we sing action songs. During this time, I also sing songs related to content areas that children are studying in the classroom and seasonal songs.
After singing our hearts out and shaking our sillies out we come back to the circle for the Shared Reading lesson. At this time I refer to the song I have written on chart paper, and point to each word as the students and I read the text together. Even the youngest students can be successful in this reading environment because they have already sung the song and they have the support of their classmates and me.
During work time I work with the students in small groups reading their folders. All of the students have their own folders that contain copies of the songs we have used as Shared Reading texts. This gives students the chance to read the songs independently, allowing them to make one more mental imprint of the song. Songs are illustrated to provide picture support so that even the youngest readers can be successful through recognition and recitation. They see the picture of the water, and they know it is the song, "Listen to the Water," so they begin reciting it from memory. Emergent readers use their fingers to practice left-to-right directionality and begin tracking print. Developing readers use one-to-one correspondence, touching each word as they say it, and self-correcting when they notice that the word their finger is pointing to does not match the word they are saying. The differentiation of instruction is inherent in the activity because all of the children can approach it at their own levels and be successful.
When we work in small groups, in addition to reading our folders for independent reading, there are many other literacy extension activities that we do. For example, we did a lot of work on our names with the song "What's Your Name" including comparing names and "letter hunting." I sometimes ask students to illustrate a song as a comprehension activity. Other times I use "zipper songs," asking children to fill in a blank, and "zipping" their ideas into the song. When we fill in gaps in a printed song, my expectations are different for students depending on their individual levels. I might model the writing and fill in the blanks myself, stretching out a word to listen for every sound in it. I might ask children for the initial sound of a word, or to write the word independently, depending on their abilities.
The best way for you to understand the curriculum and appreciate the incredible work the children are doing would be to come in and observe on a day when your child has Music. I am in Sassafras on Mondays, Black Cherry on Tuesdays, Perrysburg on Wednesdays, Poplar and Sycamore on Thursdays, and Maple on Fridays. Please join us. I would love to see you there!
Keep singing!

What is this thing???
Posted by Poplar
Welcome to 1979. I was four years old and began calling grandma on our rotary telephone located in our kitchen. It is funny to think that this generation has no idea of what rotary telephones even are anymore. Phones that plug into the wall are vintage, ancient! The looks on the children's faces were quite humorous when I told them that when I was their age we did not have telephones that we could take with us everywhere. When I was younger, my telephone plugged into the wall and I could not leave the room until I was done talking. We did not have phones that we could leave the house with. We couldn't go shopping or get ice cream with a phone in our purse.
The rotary telephone is a new and very popular work in Poplar Room. Children look up their friends in the"Poplar Room White Pages" and dial their numbers. This work allows the child to practice number recognition, memorization, eye-hand coordination, and dramatic play. It is fun to hear the conversations they are having with their friends on the "other line." We have had some laughs watching children attempt to walk away from the table with the receiver still to their ear as the phone falls to the floor. They have also held the phone upside-down with the mouthpiece to their ear. Here are some pictures…too cute for words!
Montessori Silence Game and Self-Regulation

The following is a blog post I found on "Planting Peas." I do not take credit for anything in this article, simply had to share…
The Montessori Silence Game is a brilliant and simple game that can be played with one child or a whole classroom. It is a foundational activity in a Montessori curriculum that helps a child to develop self-discipline, self-control and a more acute awareness of the sounds or silence that surrounds him. Over time and with practice, a child learns to relax and absorb the beauty of the world around him through this simple activity, which trains mindfulness.
It is so common and easy to assume that preschoolers, especially a group of them, cannot possibly achieve total silence or be mindful about their being or their surroundings. A preschooler is built by nature to move and climb and stretch and jump and crawl — this is how they grow, how they explore the limits of their bodies in relation to their world.
But the same little children are also capable of achieving total and maximum silence by complete inhibition of all their movements — to the point that they are able to hear the faintest whisper of their name being called.
Mindfulness exercises naturally lead to self-awareness, self-control and self-regulation. There have been studies that show that self-control is a better indicator of success both in school and life in general, more so than higher IQ or wealth. Check out this great article in The New York Times.
Self-regulation is very important. As a child in school, self-regulation is needed to concentrate and listen to the teacher, to time oneself and complete school work according to the time limits, to control the impulse to chat with a friend endlessly when it's time to wrap schoolwork up. As an adult, self-regulation is needed to stop oneself from binge eating leading to obesity, to control one's impulse to drink if one is going to drive, for time management so that work is done by its deadline.
The next time you are in Poplar Room – observe the self-awareness, self-control, and self-reguation among the children. The Montessori Silence Game contributed to that. Thank you Dr. Montessori!

The application to open The Ongar Academy was submitted on Friday
David Eggboro, Reporter - Epping Forest / / News
An application to create a new free school has been submitted to the government.
A total of 710 families have registered support online for the concept of The Ongar Academy, which has been created by a collective of teachers and parents.
A total of 12 people have raised objections to the proposals some of which voice concerns about increased traffic congestion.
They will attend an interview with the Department for Education as part of the next stage of the process.
The group predict there will be at least 1,132 children looking for a school place in the catchment area within seven years.
Project leader Jeff Banks said: "It's really hard work, but we have an incredibly dedicated team and won't stop until the job is done.
"We want to thank the many hundreds of local people, community groups and businesses who have got behind the campaign and supported us; we could not have got this far without them".
Four sites are being considered for the school, with the preferred location near Ongar Leisure Centre in Fyfield Road.
Another area under consideration is a building at Fyfield Business Park.
The secondary school is scheduled to open in September 2015, with a target intake of 120 pupils a year.
The group meet next week to start with the recruitment of a principal and project manager.

April 25, 2014 State Contest Information
Frequently Asked Questions:
How do I enter?
Register here - Checks to WAAE and send to Bridgett
How many CDEs are there?
Including speaking contests, there are over 25 different areas. This website will deal with mainly the 17 CDEs that deal with plants and animals. I have also added the Market Plan CDE.
How do I learn about a CDE?
That's what this website is supposed to help you with. Simply click on a CDE and you can learn about a CDE, what's included in a contest, and how to train.
When are CDEs held?
In Wisconsin, CDEs are held in early spring. The area contests are held in March and the State contest is always the last Friday in April in Madison. The area contests are held in Janesville, UW Platteville, UW River Falls and FVTC.
What if I don't know anything?
That's what is great about the FFA, you can learn! You don't need to start as an expert - you can become an expert.
Who can enter CDEs?
Only high school FFA members are eligible to compete at the State FFA Career Development Events. However, most of the area contests will allow MS FFA members to compete. State winning teams advance to the National contests, so some contestants at the National contests are just out of high school.
How many times can I enter a contest?
You can enter the same CDE each year you are eligible to compete or you can enter a different CDE.
How do I qualify for the State contest?
There are six CDEs where teams must 'qualify' to compete at the State contest. These are very popular areas and there isn't room to handle all the teams at Madison. These CDEs are: Floriculture, Dairy Cattle, Livestock, Horse, Ag Mechanics and Wildlife. Teams must 'qualify' at an area contest. Teams can try to qualify only once. Teams may be able to 'practce' at some area contests but you can try to qualify only once. All the other State CDEs are open to those teams that enter. Some contests have a space limit so teams are limited, that's why it is important to enter early.
If my team wins the State Contest, can I do same CDE next year?
The rules say that once you win a State CDE or compete in the National Contest, you cannot come back and compete again in the same CDE.
How difficult is it to win a contest?
The teams that win CDEs generally put a lot of effort into learning the material. If you want to be successful it is suggested to start studying early. In Floriculture, there are around 200 plants to learn to ID. If you start preparing at the beginning of the school year you only have to learn two per day.
Do CDEs complement classroom instruction?
Absolutely! CDEs are great to include as part of classroom instruction or as a end of class project.

Most Difficult/Annoying Games?
While this game has a few classic/enjoyable games from the 80's and 90's, there are a bunch of games in this collection that are just annoying and frustratingly painful to get the achievement in. Most of them is due to the terrible controls built in, or the bad camera, or both. Here are some that I thought were the hardest games to get the achievement in:
720 - It was a bit ironic that the first game in the collection is probably one of the hardest games to get the achievement in, and almost discouraged me from trying to complete the game because I thought that every game was going to be as bad as this one. The achievement is quite simple, all you have to do is earn a Gold Medal in a single event. However, actually accomplishing that task is anything but. Trying to get a handle on the controls felt like an impossible task the first few minutes, and actually getting a gold event in the Ramp Park (which was what I read was the easiest event to do it in) felt like it was purely luck based. It didn't matter how many spins or tricks I did, because the scoring felt random. I could do a simple 360 spin and get 700 points but if I did anything more than a 1080, I'd somehow end up with fewer points, even if I landed perfectly.
APB - Another game which seemed like it was simple enough to play through, but just annoying to go through due to the awful controls. The controls weren't as bad as they were in 720, but it definitely was not intuitive either. It was especially annoying since you only had 1 life, and if you kept crashing into the walls or other cars due to the awful controls, the game became way more difficult than it needed to be.
Championship Sprint - Again, another game that seemed pretty simple and looked like it could be kinda fun at first, but was ruined by the terrible controls. However unlike the last 2 games I listed, while the controls were counter-intuitive, it was consistent at least so you just had to adjust to them and get used to them. It was also kinda difficult because it seemed like the AI in the 3rd race would be ramped up tenfold, making a seemingly easy game very tense and nerve-racking trying to get through the laps in the final race.
Sinistar - This game felt very luck based because it just felt like Sinistar always spawned at random times. Sometimes you would have plenty of time to farm the Sinibombs, and sometimes you barely had any time at all. On top of that, he's fast as hell and there is no way to outrun him once hes in range. The fact that the controls were overly sensitive didn't help either, because one little twitch of the control stick would send your guy to do a 180.
Smash TV - Not really much to say here since this is probably one of the more well known games in the collection. The game is fun and frantic with alot of corny humor with the host of the show. However, it is hard as hell even with the 6 lives and the glitch that gives you an extra continue (though it seems like its a bit random when you get it so you should try not to rely on it too much).
Toobin - A pretty interesting game with an interesting premise. Basically your goal is to make it to the bottom of the river without hitting anything that has the potential to sink you. Probably the least frustrating game in my list, but the controls still take some time to get used to, and it can be pretty annoying to get sunk by some random object that you accidentally bumped into because of the controls and have to start from the beginning again.

All the achievements I have unlocked so far in 4 hours apart from:-
Smash tv-hard but seems doable with practice
Joust 2-seems to be the hardest one for me, can't beat level 3 as the control are absolutely horrendous and it's extremely bad gameplay doesn't make me want to try it!!
I had a few problems with Super Off-road and Rampage but 10 mins on each did them in. If your stuck just keep practicing!!

My hardest were Championship Sprint, Joust 2, Pit Fighters, and Toobin'.
Smash TV took me a few tries, then I got it first try the next morning.
I just couldn't do level 3 in Joust.

Vindicators Part II? Oh. My. God. The controls are HORRIBLE. They're some of the worst controls I've ever seen on the 360. You have to hold both thumbsticks forward to move forward, one of the thumbsticks forward and the other backwards to turn, and the triggers to rotate your turret. I'm not kidding when I say I died in the first level because of how shitty the controls are. This game controlled WAY better in Midway Arcade Treasures on the XBOX 1.
720 is pretty screwy as well. It's hard enough trying to move straight, let alone make jumps and perform tricks. Then again, I don't play skateboarding games, so I literally only played for the achievement and never touched it again.
Smash TV and Total Carnage are great games, but the right stick controls are hit-or-miss. It's hard to fire diagonally (maybe it's just my controller, I don't know), and because of that, I always die before reaching the boss. Again, these games controlled better on the MAT games on the XBOX 1.
All of the other games are okay control-wise, but Vindicators Part II, 720, Smash TV and Total Carnage have been giving me a hard time now of late.
Sometimes I like to pretend I'm a meatball.

i found using the D-Pad much easier for games like vindicator part 2 and championship sprint. Some of the game's controller menus fails to say you can also use the D-Pad. i found out the hardway trying to play with the joysticks but getting incredibly frustrated. i could have saved myself alot of grief...
i will say toobin was a bitch because i think it is glitched. i had to repeat the achievement requirements several times before it finally popped.

I love Toobin...just make sure you stay to the left and it should unlock. Problem is, the stupid A1 will sometimes go to the right and take you with him.
I can't do the Sprints. I just fall apart in the 3rd race.
For some reason, APB is a bitch to me. I'll just have to sit down and figure that one out.

I was going to buy this when it released and then I ended up forgetting and grabbed it for twenty bucks over the weekend, which it always should have been.
I was feeling the retro itch and this pretty much took care of it. I'm certain now that I never need to play any of these games again unless I happen to be hanging out somwhere random where there's a cabinet version of one of them.
Super Sprint and Off-Road were a couple of my favorites back in the arcade days and they were always difficult but here they're nearly unplayable. It's been mentioned a million times already but the controls for alot of these games are terrible and they just serve to make a bad game worse. On top of that, even the menus and initial entries are janky, they could have atleast had the basic controls for those set up for consoles. I understand these games were made to eat our quarters but it really shows here. I'll be leaving this game at 655/1000 gamerscore, I don't have the patience to struggle through some of this garbage.

This bottle came off overheated. Fruit and nose were nice, but a bit out of balance.
Kudos to Larry S. for pulling this out of the cellar. Rich and unctuous, living up to its heady aromatics. Balanced and rewarding, this wine outshone the 2005 Turley served alongside it.
Wow! this is in a wonderful place. No worries about high alcohol and ripeness foretelling the doom of this wine, Greenblanket. At nine years past vintage this is expressing smooth dark petite and zin fruit and spice with no hint of out of place alcohol.
A "blow your head off" zin, but in a good way. Super ripe berry flavors. Alcohol obvious, but not overwhelming. Tasty as a "show" wine. Not really food friendly.
Wow - what a bottle of Zin. Amazing flavor - as my wife said "That wine has a lot going on". I was awesome, and signs of heat or alcohol for 16% bottle. I wish I had more - last bottle !
