The Theatre Royal invited us to review Room on the Broom on Thursday 9th July 2015 at 1.30pm. Our three-year-old reviewer took along her mother and granny.
Adaptations are usually most interesting if you've read the book and that is especially true for young children. Anticipation; excitement tinged with trepidation (there's a dragon and a monster in this one), grows from familiarity. With this comes impatience, to get to the bits we know. As young children's adaptations require a lot of additional material - or we'd be in the theatre no more than ten minutes - the balancing act between authenticity and entertainment is always their test.
This production worked really well for a young primary-aged audience. The introductory camping scene was friendly, funny and shared a first-time theatregoer's sense of not being quite sure of their surroundings or what to expect, drawing them in with cheerful resourcefulness (and snoring). The actors' transformation into the witch and her cat, then the other animals, was suitably magical, the animals' assistants alternately acknowledged and blending in seamlessly. Yvette Clutterbuck's witch had a touch of 'Miranda' about her, cheerily gung ho but accident prone, losing first her hat, then her bow, then her wand, before the weight of her helpful animal passengers caused her stick to break in two.
The cat was friendly and disdainful in fine feline fashion. The dog puppet was wonderfully waggy, the bird sweetly recognisable and the frog funny but with a southern American accent that didn't add anything for this audience. Storytelling was extended with songs, jokes and movement. The swamp monster was wonderful, the dragon fierce yet friendly. A school group in front of us sat very still, apparently enraptured throughout.
Songs and spells entertained our pre-schooler but we could have done with a bit more call and response or joining in to keep her fully engaged – perhaps more being made of the effort needed for the broom to take off each time. For her, the prologue was a little long and interest focused mostly on the introduction of each character and key plot points.
We all liked the witch and helped with her spells – Iggety, ziggety, zaggety, zoom! This was altogether a very warm and likeable production.
The theatre was well prepared for children. Helpful staff supervised a roped-off pushchair storage area and handed out booster seats. Ground floor men's and women's toilets include baby changing facilities and there are more upstairs.

The Theatre Royal invited us to review Ben & Holly's Little Kingdom on Tuesday 19th May 2015. Our review team was two three-year-olds with accompanying adults.
This adaptation of the popular televised cartoon is produced by the same team who brought us Peppa Pig's Big Splash last year. The big bright set, happy music and cheery characters were similarly appealing, though this time played by actors, wearing puppet heads. Gaston the ladybird was a shiny dog-sized model and a magical flying scene utilised smaller puppets against a starry backdrop, to good effect.
The audience of pre-schoolers was curious, enthusiastic and often vocal. The production harnessed their voices and energy well, with plenty of call and response elements, songs and actions to join in with.
The plot was created out of a number of storylines, combined to create a very busy day. We played hide and seek with Ben and Holly, met a funny belching frog, welcomed Nanny Plum who helped tidy Gaston's cave and followed them all on a journey to collect a tooth from a girl called Lucy, who joined them in their kingdom after Holly performed some shrinking magic. We sang with the elf band, saw potion being prepared to cure the King's cold and joined in with his birthday party.
Familiarity with the characters made it magical and the interaction was fun but the episodic storyline made this hard to follow as a whole story, in contrast to Peppa Pig, which had assembled elements clearly leading towards a finale. Our reviewers' attention was retained throughout, just not always by the detail of the plot.
The theatre was well prepared for the influx of children. Helpful staff supervised a roped-off pushchair storage area and handed out armfuls of booster seats. Ground floor men's and women's toilets include baby changing facilities and there are more upstairs.
"Can we stay here?" and "Can we come next Tuesday?" seem pretty good endorsements from the reviewers who really count.

The Theatre Royal invited us to review The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas on Tuesday 17th March 2015.
A simple but effectively told fable, about how friendship, between two boys from opposite sides of the fence, can overcome difference. In this case, the fence being the barbed wire of a concentration camp and the boys nine-year-olds, innocent in every sense, friendship alone is not enough to change the course of history.
The story is told from the perspective of Bruno (played on press night by Cameron Duncan). We understand more from the adults' answers and behaviour than he does but we see and hear little that Bruno does not. A natural consequence is that the adults seem distant, distracted and a little caricature-ish; Bruno's Camp Commandant father serious and important, his mother flitting about the house, organising, pleading briskly for compliant behaviour. Teenage sister Gretel and maid Maria are more rounded but living in parallel worlds, across a gap of years.
Their distraction opens up space for Bruno's explorations, meeting and developing friendship with fellow nine-year old Shmuel (Sam Peterson on press night). The children were both fantastic, Bruno carefree and curious, Shmuel sweet and bright but resigned to accepting an existence he doesn't understand. It's the grown-up doctor-cum-waiter Pavel and youthful bully-with-a-secret Kotler who really convey, to us and to Bruno, how strange and wrong a change has taken place in the world.
The action, on a simple set, flitted back and forth in time during the first half, in a manner that confused temporarily, while seeking to convey Bruno's piecing together of how he'd arrived at 'Out-with'. Otherwise, the character of Bruno's Grandmother in particular, brought to life the wider social and political context with magnificent simplicity.
Aimed at a teenage audience, the auditorium was packed, with many teenagers present. Tickets are scarce but, for a production that subtly challenges our point of view, rather than exploiting its young characters to sentimental ends, it's worth seeing.

The Theatre Royal invited us to review To Kill a Mockingbird on Monday 23rd February 2015. Our reviewers approached the production with quite differing familiarity.
The play is presented as an ensemble performance, with members of the cast taking turns to read from copies of the book - different editions, in celebration of this story's reach and longevity - voicing 'adult Scout's' reflective narration. This device allows a pacy performance to present the main events, without losing its depth.
Scenes were established on a simple set, impressively including a climbable tree. The child actors were well cast and wonderful, Connor Brundish's Dill delightfully resembling his literary portrayal. Our Mockingbird newcomers found the first act; the characters, southern accents and some delivery, required concentration, before events were resolved in the court scene. The denoument of Scout and Jem's 'longest night' was played simply but powerfully. Boo Radley seemed suitably subterranean. Atticus was everything one expects Atticus to be; not glamorous but deeply dependable.
The performance felt celebratory, of a great story and characters, while remaining resonant as a tale of how comfortably people conform to social expectations and prejudice, bad actions escalate and few people do really good things - yet the ones who do can be quite unexpected. Its power is in inspiring us (especially us as teenagers) to wish to be one of those few.
J (15) says "I thought the cast were excellent. There was an offensive term used, which I was shocked by when it was first said, but I understand that this was a normal word which was used a great deal when the book was written, and my shock at its use just emphasises to me how much equality and respect have moved on. I haven't read the book, but I will now."
This is a fabulous interpretation and a gripping performance, whether you're coming to the story for the first time, or the fiftieth. Many people stood to applaud. The theatre was full; few tickets remain. Buy them now.

The Theatre Royal invited us to review Horrible Histories on the 19th November 2014.
Based on the books, this show had its own fast-paced, witty but distinctly playground sensibility. From the initial challenge, by the 'Barmy Britain' men, to the 'Great Britain' women, through Henry VIII as a spoilt child, an audience singing contest and a WWI wrestling match, there was a sense of joyous 'I told you so' one-upmanship. A versatile company of four exhibited skilful physical theatre with pantomime elements, carrying us bawdily, with the inevitable fart and stool jokes, through a two hour performance.
A large screen took the place of a set. In the second half we were instructed to wear 'sunglasses' and a 3D experience commenced, adding visual depth and sending; a pigeon, a plane, splintered wood and Elizabeth I's newly decomposed skull, flying towards us.
J (age 15) says "I really enjoyed this. It was funny, a lot like the book. At times I really got the toilet humour and the jokes, as did all of the other children (even the younger ones) in the audience, there were even jokes for adults as well so everyone was kept entertained. The use of graphics and props was amazing, it's the first time I've ever seen a play with a 3D screen. I'd absolutely go and see this again."
Jokes for all age groups – one of the cleverest things about the books and TV version – were played delightfully, referencing 'Take Me Out', 'TOWIE' and World of Warcraft. A 'Who Wants to Blow up Parliament' Guy Fawkes special and Queen Victoria rapping and break-dancing were personal favourites.
This was a great performance, and really brought history to life. It engaged the audience so we didn't feel as if we were watching, but taking part. The enthusiasm of the cast really shone through. Horrible Histories offers a sneakily good way to teach history to children and we wouldn't hesitate to book again for the next offering.

We were invited by the Theatre Royal to review 'Peppa Pig's Big Splash' on Saturday 25th October 2014.
Our review team was one two and a half year-old, with two adults. This ratio seemed typical in an audience peppered with pre-schoolers, in a sea of parents and grandparents, packing the theatre for a family treat.
The theatre was prepared for this tide of tots, with a large roped-off pushchair storage area and armfuls of booster seats. Ground floor men's and women's toilets include baby changing facilities and there are more upstairs.
The curtain opened on a familiar bright, cartoonish set and the show began with a game of hide and seek. Peppa's friends, represented as child-sized puppets, popped up from behind shrubs and inside playhouses to introduce themselves, while Daisy, our bubbly 'human guide' skipped about seeking – assisted of course by the audience. Peppa herself was last to emerge, with a characteristic snort. Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig appeared and we felt at home with our cast of friends.
Daisy easily engaged us in clapping and waving to cheery songs. Children were encouraged to jump – to help shake a dinosaur toy down from a tree. This proved invaluable practice for the show's finale.
After the interval, we moved to a fundraising fair, with stalls, games and a costumed 'Mr Potato' causing speculation about the true size of potatoes and power of the imagination.
The finale arrived with the puddle-jumping competition. Daddy Pig was the world record holder but with a relaxed approach to training, his record was taken by Mr Bull – as the front rows were lightly splashed.
What was to be done? Was there any rule about how many friends could help one puddle-jumper? No? Well then, Peppa might just have the answer – her friends! First she must find her golden boots, then, with one big jump from everyone – the puddle was gone!
The use of puppets, rather than costume characters, gave Peppa and friends a cute friendliness and toddler-eye perspective on the set and adult characters - who would otherwise have been monstrous - successfully maintaining a cartoonish fantasy.
Our small reviewer was most engaged by the songs and jumping. Brightly-lit windmills in the audience proved a distraction (and a lesson learnt for us – be prepared to buy merchandise early, or distract effectively). Altogether, her curiosity and sense of fun at being part of Peppa's world, was maintained successfully. That inclusion, more than Peppa Pig herself, was what it was all about.
FD, BD and CG for Mumsnet Nottingham
The Theatre Royal invited us to review 'Scooby-Doo', showing in Nottingham from Friday 29th to Sunday 31st August 2014. The story sees Scooby, Shaggy and their friends, arrive in Egypt to solve 'The Mystery of the Pyramid', which they set about with characteristic gusto.
On my arrival there was a buzz of excitement as families poured into the theatre. As I took my seat next to a little girl and her mother, an air of noisy expectation pervaded; this was encouraged by upbeat music pouring from the loud speakers. This was to be a noisy, but very enjoyable, 'mystery' show.
The set, light and sound are all used to maximum effect in this production. There are a few scary moments when the lights go out, or are dimmed, such as the initial viewing of two dancing mummies, but these are momentary and add to the general excitement. The costumes are bright and true to the style of the television characters. The acting is excellent and includes lots of singing and dancing.
This is a production that requires lots of audience participation: The characters come into the stalls on several occasions, offering high fives, and encourage clapping, dancing, booing and the inevitable 'he's behind you!' throughout. The children in the audience were engaged by the story and keen to dance, boo and wave to the characters on stage. This was a show equally appreciated by the adults in the family, with some good jokes and skilful dance moves by the actors, not to mention a particularly impressive speech from Shaggy, spoken at great speed.
Before the performance and during the interval, Scooby-Doo activity books and glowing, spinning windmills, were for sale; these proved popular with children. The production is 90 minutes long, including a 20 minute interval, which allowed plenty of time to eat ice creams, go to the toilet, and chat about the performance so far.
Overall, a lively and engaging production brimming with energy and fun.

93 points Wine Spectator: "Complex aromas of green coffee bean, tarragon and blackberry, turning to licorice and violet. Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and beautiful fruit. Very balanced and refined for the vintage. Exceptional for this estate. A real beauty. Best after 2014." (03/09) 92 points Robert Parker: "This is a very strong effort from this estate, which sits just adjacent to Petrus. In fact, they sold part of their vineyard to Petrus in the early 1970s. This is a full-bodied, powerful 2006 with the oak more restrained than it normally is in a young Gazin. Copious quantities of sweet plum, fig, and black cherry fruit are intermixed with cedar and dried herbs in a medium to full-bodied, rich, long, impressively endowed style. This is an outstanding wine, with enough stuffing, structure, and density to age beautifully over a 20- to 25-year period." (02/09) And, according to Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: " Good full red-ruby. Musky dark berries and roast coffee on the expressive nose. Sweet, lush and rich, with a pliant texture to the rather carnal flavors of currant, plum, truffle and cedary oak. Finishes with spreading, sweet tannins and very good persistence. A plush Gazin with very good chewy depth, but in a softer style and offering a lot of early appeal." (May/June '09)

"While this quarter's results were marked by some unique items, we made good progress on our deleveraging and cost reduction initiatives, and continued to improve our risk profile," said E*TRADE's Chairman and Interim CEO, Frank Petrilli. "We delivered on our strategic initiatives during the third quarter and executed well in our brokerage business, while continuing to manage down the loan portfolio. We have identified or completed over $4 billion of balance sheet reductions, which are critical to achieving our goal of distributing capital from the Bank to the Parent. Importantly, our core brokerage franchise continues to grow assets and accounts at healthy rates, despite lackluster investor engagement across the industry. During the first three quarters of the year, we have surpassed the full year 2011 in terms of net new accounts, aided by record account retention. We are making headway in the retirement and investing customer segment, ending the quarter with over $1 billion in managed accounts, less than three years after introducing the products. In addition, our management team is delivering against cost reduction initiatives, with a new target of $100 million in run-rate reductions to be completed by the end of 2013."E*TRADE reported DARTs of 129,000 during the quarter, a decrease of seven percent from the prior quarter and a decrease of 22 percent versus the same quarter a year ago.

Yankees-Indians game postponed by rain
|The tarp rests on the field before a baseball game between the New York Yankees and the Cleveland Indians, Wednesday, April 10, 2013, in Cleveland. (AP Photo/Tony Dejak)
CLEVELAND (AP) — The scheduled game between the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians has been postponed by rain.
No makeup date was immediately announced. The teams are scheduled to finish their series with a single game Thursday night, but with a forecast for more showers it might be tough to get that one in. This is New York's only visit to Cleveland this season.
Zach McAllister is slated to start Thursday for the Indians against Phil Hughes. Ivan Nova, who was supposed to start Wednesday for the Yankees, will be skipped in the rotation.
Play never began Wednesday and the game was called 46 minutes after the scheduled first pitch.
The rainout comes at a good time for the Indians, who have been forced to juggle their rotation because of injuries and Carlos Carrasco's ejection for hitting Kevin Youkilis with a pitch Tuesday. Corey Kluber, who had been called up to make an emergency start, will pitch out of the bullpen Thursday.

Murkowski Still Weighing Options
Libby Casey, APRN – Washington DC
Senator Lisa Murkowski says she's weighing "Alaska" and its future as she considers whether or not to launch a write-in bid to keep her Senate seat. She won't say until tomorrow what she plans to do – and says in fact she's still thinking about her options. But as APRN's Libby Casey reports, the Senator does not sound like she's given up yet.

Three districts in Virginia are moving to a Web-based student information system to help streamline administrative processes and gain real-time access to data.
The districts--Dinwiddie County Public Schools, Floyd County Schools, and Halifax County Public Schools--have selected Infinite Campus as their district-wide student information system.
Infinite Campus manages student data through a centralized database that provides real-time information to teachers, administrators, and counselors. It allows parents and students to access assignments, grades, and attendance data through a Web interface. And it provides data warehousing, reporting, and data management for a range of K-12 information, including assessments, curricula, and special education.
Last July the Virginia Department of Education and the Virginia Information Technologies Agency (a program designed to help consolidate Virginia's IT infrastructure) have signed on with Infinite Campus to allow districts in the state to purchase the Infinite Campus student information system (SIS) without the need for an RFP.
"We had six different programs that ran together. We wanted a system that had all these in one package," said Timothy Ampy, director of technology for Dinwiddie CPS. "We considered everything that Infinite Campus brings to the table, not just price. Our committee agreed Infinite Campus was the best system to meet our needs."

Those plastic organisers look very similar to the ones we get here in australia under the brand "Tactix". After seeing the sortimo rack in the video I think I might have to make one. The trays are $12 each from a local hardware store so it's quite do-able. Damn you sparkfun….yet another project to add to the list!
I yearn for the day when someone makes an RGB version of these!
A 240v version with IEC plugs would be ideal for us non-us folk.
I know every language and country is different but I don't think I'll ever get used to the way Americans pronounce 'solder'.
Just sounds too close to other nsfw words.
Reading through the .NET MF info it mentions a limitation of 720 running hours (approximately 1 month 24/7). That might be a relic of pre-opensource days but can someone clarify that for me? If I want to develop a sellable product using .NET MF is there a license requirement?
Except it's out of stock and has a proprietary boot loader
my life would be super-saturated if you would release a atmega32u4 version…hint hint :-)
My life is complete!
Nah gravatar can haz you!
I know you are also using google analytics and in many ways its the same thing but i understand the benefit analytics gives the business. Gravatars dont provide that same benefit other than eye candy so would it be reasonable to also request an opt out to even seeing the gravatars? The reason being that the mere act of visiting a page with a gravatar on it, gives the gravatar makers access to a persons browsing habits across gravatar enabled sites even if they are not logged in.
Others have expressed their concern over the display of their gravatar and we thank you for the new opt out. One last step will allow your customers to manage their own privacy as they choose.
No public wish lists :(

I know a guy that suffers from PTSD. He has outbursts, gets a disability check every month, sees a shrink.. has a concealed weapons permit and carries a gun every where he goes. This guy and others like him are a DANGER to society, but we legally allow him to walk to streets ARMED, waiting for something to happen.. and when it does, we'll blame video games, which he does in fact play and has played for as long as I've known him. #32 Agree(2) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply jonli76 + 1150d ago I live in CT i My friend from high school lost her daughter in the Newtown CT shooting. the root of the problem start form the killer home.

Years ago it was "kids rock music" thats what most of the aby boomers parents said, now that they are older & realised that was a bunch of BS they want something to blame & they are point at video games. In 20 years or so when this generation is old enough to realise its BS we will be blamming whatever else is popular amongst kids/teens.

Video Games and other sources of entertainment are NOT to blame! The Kid wasn't right in the head, the irresponsible parents made it easy for the kid to have access to guns. #36.2 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Adolph Fitler + 1150d ago Actually, the gunman is obviously to blame 1st & foremost, but comon, abysmal gun laws that allow any psycho to buy guns is partially to blame as well. I mean, a gun law where you can buy guns for another member of the family, a friend is a joke. In Australia, YOU the wanter of the guns has to be the one who goes in & applies for a license.....& unless your a farmowner that has needs for certain weapons, then you can't get access to that style of gun. The problem is, that there really is NO NEED for U.S. citizens to own guns at all in city areas, especially the no holds barred all-sorts of fully auto & semi auto hardware readily available on near every street corner over there. I mean, otherwise the alternative is to train teachers to be crack commando operatives that are armed to the teeth & ready for these situations, as well as do the same for universities, staff at movie cinema's, shopkeepers at shopping centres, etc, etc......not a very realistic approach, considering most people really don't want to carry a gun 24/7. Of course if guns were made impossible to get legally, you would still be able to get them somehow illegally.....but, that means they could & probably would demand a much higher price due to lack of competition, as well as risk factor for seller & buyer if caught, due to much steeper sentencing that should go with such dealings. And, anyone who thinks this cat was alright in the head, & then just went poco loco one day after too many COD kills, should go & have themselves comitted, as they are obviously as unstable as the turds that do these crimes. He was a f$#king fruitloop from birth, I mean, he was quiet......that is the 1st thing said about serial killers, mass killers of this sort EVERY time there character is brought up after the event.......he was smart, hello, does anyone else see a pattern here, as most of these fruitcakes have incredibly high IQ's......next you'll be telling us that his normalcy also equates to white male, 19-35yrs old, single, still living at home with mother.......and that would complete the circle of a mass shooters profile.......if this guy had of waited until he was 35 or older to start killing, he would have instead become a serial killer. He's had fantasies about blowing away a bunch of people & kids for a long time now.....this is not just a sudden Friday morning brainsnap. Americans need to wake up, but they never will.......Most yanks are just dumb enough to believe that they have a right to bare arms, a 200yr old outdated amendment. Wonder if that tosser Charlton Heston will turn up & hold a NCAA rally on the roof of that school this Wednesday.....Charlton Heston, a man that has several LOADED weapons in his heavily fortified, security guarded, hollywood hills home.......a man that when questioned in Bowling For Columbine, whether he has ever been threatened, had problems or cause for a weapon in his home, answered "no", on all counts. Change your weapons laws America, you have the loosest weapon laws in the world, & you have BY FAR, the worst gun based crimes of all countries (including war torn countries), yet you keep harping on about a shortsighted amendment thought of when guns took about 2-3mins to load in one shot. #37 Agree(0) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply lyliade + 1150d ago Montauk Boy! #38 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Adolph Fitler + 1150d ago In more news, It is believed that playing The Condemned is what inspired Jack The Ripper to kill.

Gunman has been drinking it regularly. #44 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Ashunderfire86 + 1150d ago I read the edited pink note, so I get what the article is saying. Just to let you guys know I am on the same page. Now here is my take on this murder. It is not the video games or the guns to be blame, it's psychiatric drugs to blame for this!!! we need No Gun control, but psychiatric drugs control. I see a pattern here with all these shootings, including the ones without school shootings.Columbine, Virginia Tech, Shooting in Arizona, Colorado Aurora movie theater schooling, and now the Connecticut shooting. All these shooting has something in common, these guys where all on drugs!!!! No offense, but most of these shooters are young white men and just one asian!!! And the worst ones are those post dramatic stress ones from the war. Just look at what that war veteran did to the people of that Indian temple. These drugs are causing these men to go insane!!! I say we need to go after these pharmaceutical companies and put it on the news. That is the main source of the problem , and it's the reason why this guys go off on a killing spree. Sure anybody can use a gun to kill people, but these drugs take you to the next level!!! And then you just kill yourself. #45 Agree(0) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply Orionsangel + 1150d ago People who use guns are responsible for shootings. I've played video games my whole life. I'm almost 40. I never used a gun in my life. You first have to show in interest in guns to shoot a gun. You don't play a video game and all of sudden buy a gun and use it. Using a gamepad vs using a real gun are two totally different things. What's interesting to me or rather wrong here is what links all these mass shootings together. They all used guns before. They were familiar with firearms. Why are mentally disturbed people using guns? The media says movies and games are to blame. That's ridiculous. It's bad parenting. It's parents teaching their kids to use guns when they're 3 years old. The mother of adam lanza was a fanatic of guns. She had a whole arsenal of guns. Her son was used to being around guns and used to shooting them. So when he snapped. He obviously used his skill with a weapon to do this horrible tragedy. Stop breeding gun lovers. It's a vicious cycle. That's not to say someone shouldn't have the right to like guns though and hunting and going to the shooting range, but let it happen if they show interest in it. Don't put a rifle in your sons hands when he's 2 years old. Just because you love guns. Doesn't mean you have to force your interest on your child. Especially when that child hasn't even fully developed his mind. #46 Agree(1) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Ashunderfire86 + 1150d ago its the drugs take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watc... It is so easy to blame the parents, but what about the schools force you to take these drugs? These drugs are mind altering drugs very similar to the LSD drug from the CIA mind control, except now Big Pharma is doing it for them this time. We need drug control!!! Not gun control. With these drugs altering the mind, these kids will take anything as serious even games and movies!!! And none of those forms of entertainment has anything to do with it. #46.1 Agree(0) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Ashunderfire86 + 1149d ago Funny how people disagree with me when it's the freakin drugs that causes this in the first place. How else would many of these kids commit such an act? Couldn't be video games,cause that is no drug. It couldn't be the guns, cause a gun can't kill a person without a person using it. It's not always the parents to blame, its big pharma!!! Those criminals that still live today. Yet no one gives a shit about step up to them!!! History will always repeat itself, as along as people stick with the status quo. People you need to wake up. This is a growing issue that people outright refuse to discuss. How more kids will fall victim to drugs like Prozac, before anybody realize the truth? Heck the stupid governor of Colorado thinks it's still video games!!! #46.1.1 Agree(0) | Disagree(1) | Report vlonjati77 + 1150d ago Nerdkiller,i was in same situation as you.ive been beaten many times lol,to say the truth i,ve been a bad hyped kid had 2 older brothers .I never felt bad. i turned out good.they tought me respect dignity etc.even at 35 i dont dare to talk back to my parents or brothers because i respect them.kids of this days even say f off to their parents.I have to kids ,I have fun every day but at the same time i get stressed every day cause i try to teach them about anything I thing its right thay should lear,dont go here dont go there,dont do that and many things like this.theres a saying in my country-" if you plant a tree crooked it will grow crooked" or " you will harvest what you saw(plant). #47 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply silvacrest + 1150d ago as soon as i heard that POS gunman played violent video games i knew something like this article would pop up #48 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Rivitur + 1150d ago And I suppose videogames are the main reason for people being killed in third world countries that can't even afford them. #49 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply MeatAbstract + 1150d ago So you changed the title on the article but left the one on N4G untouched? Kind of just asking for hits, right? #50 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Bathyj + 1150d ago Just read this, and thought it was interesting.Morgan Freeman's brilliant take on what happened yesterday "You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here's why. ... It's because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single *victim* of Columbine? Disturbed people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody. CNN's article says that if the body count "holds up", this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer's face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer's identity? None that I've seen yet. Because they don't sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you've just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next. You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem. You can help by turning off the news." All the more convincing, because when you read it, you read it in your head with the voice of Morgan Freeman. #51 Agree(3) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply HonestDragon + 1150d ago That is the awesomeness of Morgan Freeman shining through.

46:1631(149)AR - - NFFE Local 1442 and Letterkenny Army Depot, Chambersburg, PA - - 1993 FLRAdec AR - - v46 p1631
[ v46 p1631 ]
The decision of the Authority follows:
46 FLRA No. 149
February 26, 1993
Before Chairman McKee and Members Talkin and Armendariz.
I. Statement of the Case
This matter is before the Authority on exceptions to an award of Arbitrator John M. Hamrick filed by the Union under section 7122(a) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute) and part 2425 of the Authority's Rules and Regulations. The Agency filed an opposition to the Union's exceptions.
The Union filed a grievance on behalf of the grievant alleging that she was improperly rated. The Union also filed a second grievance because the Agency failed to respond in a timely manner to the first grievance. The Arbitrator denied the grievances. For the following reasons, we will remand the award to the parties to have them obtain a clarification of the award from the Arbitrator.
II. Background and Arbitrator's Award
The grievant is a computer systems analyst. The grievant received a performance rating of Fully Successful for the period from June 15, 1990, to June 15, 1991. The Union filed a grievance on behalf of the grievant alleging that she received an improper and inaccurate performance appraisal as the result of "reprisal[,] disparate treatment[,] and invalid performance standards . . . ." Award at 2. As a remedy, the Union requested, among other things, that the grievant's ratings on some job elements be raised from Meets to Exceeds and that the grievant's overall rating be raised to Excellent. The grievance was denied and the Union appealed the grievance to step 3 of the parties' negotiated grievance procedure. The Agency did not respond in a timely manner at step 3 of the grievance procedure as required by Article 23, Section 13 of the parties' agreement.(*) The Union then filed a second grievance claiming that the grievant was entitled to the remedy sought in the first grievance under the provisions of Article 23, Section 13.
Although the Agency admitted that it was late in responding to the step 3 appeal, it asserted that the Union's proposed remedy could not be granted under Article 23, Section 13 because that remedy would be contrary to law, rule, or regulation. The grievances were not resolved and were submitted to arbitration.
The Arbitrator stated the issues before him as:
1. Is the grievance procedurally defective because of the Agency's failure to answer the Union's Step 3 appeal in a timely fashion? If not,
2. Did the Agency violate established laws, rules, regulations or the [parties' collective bargaining agreement] when it determined the grievant's rating level for the performance rating period from June 15, 1990 to June 15, 1991? If so, what is the remedy?
Award at 4.
The Union argued before the Arbitrator that its requested remedy should be granted in accordance with the provisions of Article 23, Section 13 of the parties' agreement. The Union also argued that the Agency violated law and Government-wide and Army performance appraisal regulations by improperly rating the grievant's performance in job elements 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Additionally, the Union claimed that the grievant's performance standards were invalid.
The Arbitrator found that the "automatic remedy language of Article 23, [Section] 13 [of the parties' agreement] does not apply to [the proposed remedy in] this case because [the remedy] is contrary to . . . law, rule or regulation." Id. at 17. Based on a review of 5 U.S.C. § 4302, 5 C.F.R. § 430, and AR 690-400-430, the Arbitrator stated that "the rating [level] is something employees must earn based on their performance and not something that can be given as an automatic remedy because of a procedural error committed by the Agency." Id. at 19-20. The Arbitrator further stated that "ratings can be challenged on the basis of the merits of the rating and, if it can be proven that some sort of error was made as alleged by the Union in [this] case, then the rating can be changed." Id. at 20.
The Arbitrator reviewed the testimony and documentation presented by the parties regarding the grievant's performance when compared with the performance standards. In addressing the merits of the case, the Arbitrator noted that the Agency's "performance standards are written at a 'MET' rating level" and are "geared toward the achievement of a 'Fully Successful' rating and are not intended or do not state how to achieve a 'Highly Successful' or 'Exceptional' rating." Id. at 21. The Arbitrator further noted that, in order for the grievant to achieve a Fully Successful rating, the grievant's performance could not result in more errors than the number set forth in the performance standards for each element. The Arbitrator found that the testimony and evidence concerning the five job elements indicated that "the grievant, for the most part, did not exceed the number of stated violations, incidents, surprises, complaints and/or misunderstandings set forth in the performance standards for the various job elements." Id. at 24.
However, the Arbitrator rejected the Union's claim that because the grievant had fewer than the stated number of errors, the grievant exceeded the standards and should have received a higher rating. The Arbitrator asserted that the Union overlooked the fact "that the standards [were] written for a 'MET' compliance or the achievement of a 'Fully Successful' rating." Id. The Arbitrator found that the "phrase 'no more' in each of the standards implies that, if the grievant had a greater number of violations, incidents, etc., than stated, then the grievant would not have performed up to a standard to be rated 'Fully Successful.'" Id. The Arbitrator also stated that "the fact that [the grievant] might not have had any violations, incidents, etc. means only that her performance conformed to the standards established for a 'Fully Successful' rating." Id. The Arbitrator determined that "[t]he evidence presented by the Union was not sufficient to establish that the grievant was entitled to an 'Exceptional' rating or that the ratings given the grievant for the various job elements were improper or in violation of the laws, rules and regulations cited by [the Union]." Id. at 24-25.
The Arbitrator found that the standards were not invalid. The Arbitrator "reiterated that the grievant and her supervisor reached agreement on the performance standards in July[] 1990" and that the grievant "never registered any complaint at that time that the standards were invalid." Id. at 27. The Arbitrator "concluded that the Agency did not violate any law, rule or regulation nor did it violate any of the rights of the grievant in arriving at the determination that her performance was 'Fully Successful.'" Id. Therefore, the Arbitrator denied the grievance.
III. Positions of the Parties
A. Union
The Union contends that the Arbitrator failed to cite any laws, rules, or regulations in finding that the automatic remedy language in the parties' collective bargaining agreement did not apply in this case. Therefore, the Union argues that the Arbitrator's conclusion is without support and that the remedy requested by the Union should be granted.
The Union also argues that the Arbitrator misinterpreted the Agency's rules and regulations. The Union contends that the Arbitrator's "interpretation of the Army's regulation covering the administration of the performance appraisal system is erroneous." Exceptions at 5. The Union argues that "the Arbitrator erred when he stated that an employee with no, or fewer errors than the 'met' level would still merit only a 'Fully Successful' rating." Id. at 6. Furthermore, the Union argues that, according to the Arbitrator, "there would be no difference in an employee's performance rating who barely 'met' the 'no more' limit in a particular standard versus the employee who receives fewer or even no errors on the same standard." Id. The Union questions how an employee could receive a rating higher than the Fully Successful level. In this regard, the Union argues that AR 690-400-430 clearly states that "absolute standards that cannot be exceeded, should be avoided." Id. at 7. The Union argues, therefore, that the grievant should have received at least a Highly Successful rating based on the correct application of AR 690-400-430.
B. Agency
The Agency argues that the Union has not shown how the Arbitrator's award misapplied or misinterpreted the parties' collective bargaining agreement. The Agency contends that the Union is only attempting to relitigate the case before the Authority. The Agency also argues that the Union's claim that the grievant exceeded her performance standards is not substantiated "given the [A]rbitrator[']s specific findings concerning the grievant's performance." Opposition at 3.
IV. Analysis and Conclusions
We find that the award is ambiguous and must be remanded to the parties to have them obtain a clarification of the award from the Arbitrator.
The Union contends that the Arbitrator's finding that the automatic remedy provided for in Article 23 of the parties' agreement does not apply in this case is without support. We construe the Union's contention as an argument that this portion of the award fails to draw its essence from the agreement. To establish that an award is deficient on this ground, the party making the allegation must demonstrate that the award: (1) cannot in any rational way be derived from the agreement; (2) is so unfounded in reason and fact, and so unconnected with the wording and the purpose of the agreement as to manifest an infidelity to the obligation of the arbitrator; (3) evidences a manifest disregard of the agreement; or (4) does not represent a plausible interpretation of the agreement. For example, U.S. Department of the Air Force, Carswell Air Force Base, Texas and American Federation of Government Employees, Local 1364, 43 FLRA 1266, 1269 (1992).
The Union has failed to establish that this portion of the award is deficient under any of these tests. The Arbitrator concluded that, under Article 23, Section 13, the granting of the remedy requested by the Union would be contrary to law, rule, or regulation. Specifically, the Arbitrator found that, under law and regulation, an employee's performance appraisal must be based on a comparison of the employee's performance and applicable performance standards and concluded that, because the grievant's Fully Successful rating was warranted based on her performance, a rating of Exceptional would be contrary to law and regulation within the meaning of Article 23, Section 13. The Union has not shown that the Arbitrator's interpretation of Article 23, Section 13 of the agreement is irrational, implausible, or otherwise deficient. Rather, the Union's contention constitutes mere disagreement with the Arbitrator's interpretation and application of the parties' agreement and, as such, provides no basis for finding this portion of the award deficient. See, for example, U.S. Department of the Air Force, Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center, Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma and American Federation of Government Employees, Local 916, 44 FLRA 283, 286 (1992).
Further, the Arbitrator rejected the Union's claim that because the grievant had fewer than the stated number of errors set forth in the various job elements, the grievant exceeded the standards and should have received a higher rating. The Arbitrator stated that the Agency's performance standards were written for the achievement of a Fully Successful rating. The Arbitrator determined that the evidence did not establish that the grievant was entitled to an Exceptional rating or that the grievant's ratings for the various job elements were improper or in violation of law, rule, or regulation. The Arbitrator found that the grievant's performance standards were not invalid. The Arbitrator also stated that "[t]he fact that [the grievant] might not have had any violations, incidents, etc. means only that her performance conformed to the standards established for a 'Fully Successful' rating." Award at 24.
We cannot determine whether the Arbitrator denied the grievance: (1) because he found that no employee could have exceeded the standards for a Fully Successful rating in view of the manner in which those standards were written; or (2) because he found that, although the written standards for a Fully Successful rating could have been exceeded, the grievant's performance did not exceed the written standards for a Fully Successful rating. If the Arbitrator found that no employee could have exceeded the standards for a Fully Successful rating in view of the manner in which those standards were written, his award would be deficient because the award would enforce standards that are inconsistent with law and applicable Government-wide regulations set forth in 5 C.F.R. Part 430 under which employees are to be given the opportunity to exceed Fully Successful ratings in individual elements as well as in overall summary ratings.
Specifically, under 5 U.S.C. § 4302, as implemented by 5 C.F.R. §§ 430.204(e) and (h), each performance appraisal system must provide for at least three rating levels for each critical element and at least three and not more than five summary rating levels. Moreover, 5 C.F.R. § 430.206(d) provides that procedures must be described in an agency's Personnel Management Plan to ensure that employees whose performance exceeds normal expectations are rated at levels above Fully Successful.
Thus, if the Arbitrator determined that no employee could have exceeded the standards for a Fully Successful rating

I posted pics over the summer of his hooves, and a lot was needing improvement! Since summer I have moved him to a new barn and started working with a new trimmer in Nov. Do you see improvements? I know his issues can't be fixed overnight but are we on the right track, do you think she's doing a good job? What could I do inbetween visits to help? She has us on a 4 week schedule right now.
The first set are from the Summer, the second set is from today, he was trimmed two weeks ago. I can get more pictures if you'd like, I just did these 2 shots for now so I could try to make the post easier to compare. Ugh battling thrush again, haven't been able to make it out much this last week to keep his treatment up so they went a little downhill again :( Back on top of it now though.

Recipe for Banana Apple Cranberry Muffins
Healthy Recipe: Banana Apple Cranberry Muffins
I grew up loving Banana Nut Bread, and here's a twist on my mom's famous recipe. Since it includes additional fruit besides bananas I can use less sugar, so not only is it naturally sweet and flavorful but it's also full of fiber.
Check out the recipe after the break.
Mom's recipe
Banana Apple Cranberry Muffins
3 ripe bananas
1 apple
1 cup of dried cranberries
1 egg
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups wheat flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup walnuts
oil (for the pan)
- Preheat the oven to 325° F.
- Peel all three bananas and mash them in a bowl with a fork.
- Now peel and dice the apple and add that to the bowl with the mashed up bananas.
- Add the egg, cranberries, cinnamon, and salt, and mix well with a fork.
- Add the flour and sugar, and stir it all up until it's all moist and looks like this.
- Now use the oil to grease two mini muffin pans. Spoon batter and fill up each hole all the way. Top with a sprinkle of walnuts.
- Bake the muffins for about 20 minutes.
- You'll have enough batter to fill another mini muffin tin, and maybe an additional half, making a total of 42 mini muffins.

Great Bag Tina from Columbus, OH on 04/17/2009 – Verified Buyer
It's a great, stylish bag. It's girly enough for our daughter, and the brown makes it just macho enough that my husband will carry it! The only con is the bag is very narrow, so it doesn't hold as much stuff as I would like. But overall, it's larger than other diaper bags on the market, and I love the side pockets that are insulated for her bottles.

Timothée Kolodziejczak in action for France's Under-19s against Spain in 2010. Picture: Action Images
/ Sport
West Ham United are interested in signing Nice left-back Timothée Kolodziejczak, according to the Daily Mirror.
Kolodziejczak, 22, is also attracting interest from fellow Premier League sides Southampton and Crystal Palace.
The French youth international has impressed for Ligue 1 Nice this term, making 34 top-flight starts for the Les Aiglons as they finished 17th in the table.
Commonly-referred to as 'Kolo' due to the difficulty of pronouncing his surname, the 6ft1in defender has represented France at Under 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 level.

In 2012, the Bleecker Street subway station was renovated to create a much-needed transfer from the uptown 6 train to the B/D/F/M trains, as previously transfers were only available to those on the downtown 6. The modification necessitated a shift in the subway platform south, and a northwards extension of the subway platform that was itself added in the 1950s to accommodate the longer 10-car trains closed. This platform is still viewable when you're on the 6 train leaving the station and has preserved some advertisements from 2011.

Hello DWILers,
Long time lurker, first time poster. This is a new name, my usual account has my name in it, and i wanted to go anonymous for my own privacy. Trigger for mentions of cancer and death
BG; My MIL is a minor boundary stomper, GMOTY faker, and general pain in the patootie. She got put on a TO for almost two years for telling my DH that she'll "see him dead" and then hanging up on him when he joined the military.
FF; we just recently had our Squish. He is the last for us. a complicated high risk pregnancy and my body just cannot handle another pregnancy again. ever. we have come to grips with this.
One of the complications was my thyroid. it stopped working years ago and i managed it with meds and bloodwork. at my endocrinologist appt on friday, she told me that i have thyroid cancer. we havent talked about the next step yet, because she wanted to do some more testing before we make that decision.
i am in shock. Fri & Sat, DH turned off phones and dealt with the news. we talked until we had accepted the cancer and how we were going to handle this whole kerfuffle. On Sunday, we told the FOO and FIL on skype. they took it as well as it can be. They promised to love and support me all ways. MIL was a different story. We told her, and she was silent. Then she looked at me and said, "Well, when you die, i'll take the kids. Then since DH wont have you or the kids to hold him back, he can marry somebody else and start over..but do it right this time"
i was stunned. but before i could find my brains and lose it on her, DH stepped in. He got right in the camera and said," You have one chance to explain to me in what fucking way was that comment acceptable?" she spluttered and said it was just a joke. DH said it was the nastiest thing she has ever said, and it was the last time she' ll ever speak to us again. then he hung up.
He emailed FIL, (they divorced long ago) SILs, and GGMIL this;
"MIL has crossed the line with DW and I. As far as we are concerned, she is dead. Do not talk to us about her, and do not talk to her about us. If you pass information either way, we will limit contact for 6 months. if you do it twice, you will join her. period. happy holidays! love, Mr.NoSteakSauce."
That was yesterday. she has called, texted, emailed, facebooked and tried everything but smoke signals. i am just numb. who says that to someone who just found out they have cancer.
ill keep you all updated as the crazy keeps going.
bad joke (possible trigger) UD 4 5 11 17 19 22 24 26 27 bad update 57
OP, I'm sorry you got this health news immediately after digesting the news about whether or not you could have more kids. It is terrible to feel as if your body is betraying you on multiple levels. I wish you healing.
I hope, if your SILs do swoop in, you and DH are absolutely plain with them: you told MIL you had cancer, she wished you dead and told DH he could "do it right" with wife #2. And then she followed that up by calling you a bitch and lying to your DH about apologizing to you. If they can't understand why that behavior would land someone in the DEAD list, then they can go in TO until they do. You and DH need only supportive people in your lives.
But mostly I am glad that your MIL is going to live in the hell of her own making. 2013 is going to be long for her as she misses every one of your family's milestones and gets nothing from you all -- and then 2014 will roll around and she'll realize that this will never end.
Don't let sentimentality make you stupid.
Does your DH know she is under the impression that he's her property?
Idle curiousity, but does she live close enough that you have to worry about her showing up? If she does, treat it as a practice run for the zombie apocalypse... ;)
Ooh, and your mil is a huge douche canoe. Your DH, however, rocks!!
Proud mama to my ladybug!
OP- I'm sorry about your diagnosis but as many have said its one of the most treatable forms of cancer.
I just wanted to let you know that there is a thyroid board here one BBC- its been a total lifesaver when I was diagnosed hyper durign post partum thyroiditis and now looking at a diagnosis of Grave's. The ladies on there have a ton of research linked regarding treatment and doctors that you may feel inclined to take a look at when researching treatment options.

Very lovely work. The use of the leaves is quite eye-catching and different.
