Scraping Walls: chi non muore si rivede
Ehm mi sono accorto solo ieri che mi ero totalmente dimenticato di finire una serie di foto scattate addirittura ad aprile.
Si tratta di Scraping Walls, un redazionale di moda autoprodotto, realizzato assieme ai modelli Henrik Ahlgren e Edgardo Endrigo durante un soleggiato pomeriggio di primavera.
In una fabbrica abbandonata di Milano.
Che alla fine non era proprio abbandonata, tant'è che siamo dovuti scappare via minacciati da una comunità di zingari neanche troppo aggressiva, per fortuna.
Comunque, il risultato sono queste foto: piene di rumore e un po' sfocate, d'accordo, però non sono neanche malaccio viste le condizioni in cui le abbiamo scattate…

Liveblog: Barry Slams "Inconsistencies" In Bennett Report
Embattled Ward 8 Councilmember Marion S. Barry Jr. is on the D.C. Council dais right now, fighting for his political life.
He just blasted the Bennett Report for "inconsistencies."
Now: He's mumbling about a process that "singled me out." "I'm sure, Mr. Chairman, that don't want your legacy that you" punished Marion Barry.
"You don't want to be known as the person who took Mr. Barry's due process away."
Barry just said how much he loves Chairman Vince Gray. Ended by saying this whole thing is "unfortunate."
Gray asks what Barry meant when referring to "double standard." Barry responds that the council took a different action toward Ward 1 Councilmember Jim Graham when he landed in hot water via the troubles of his chief of staff, Ted Loza. Barry's complaining that he's getting harsher treatment.
Barry says issue of conflict of interest has "not been resolved." Can't base conclusions based on something that hasn't been resolved.
Gray asks for further discussion.
Vote on resolution: Unanimous. Barry recused himself.
Now they're talking about a resolution about policies on censuring councilmembers. Procedural stuff.
Ooo, now it's getting a bit interesting. Gray just outlined some procedures for censuring councilmembers, and Barry's asking some prickly questions about the whole thing. Barry's talking about his "reading of Robert's Rules" of Order and how it's situated vis-a-vis due process and so on. Getting a bit tense here. Gray is saying that there's a high degree of "congruence" between what they did in censuring Barry and what the new policies would outline. So Gray's saying that the censure of Barry proceeded very fairly today.
Barry is seizing upon this discussion to launch into another defense of his record and his place on the council. Here are some great little moments:
"I think I've been done a big injustice....[Despite being stripped of a committee chair], I'm still gonna work. I'm the jobs czar in this town....I'm going to every meeting," he said, going into an explanation of how hard he'll work to make sure that jobs are created, that employers are working on projects and so on. "In fact, I might be more effective at that than I was....I'm not at all down or dismayed about it. I've fought injustice all my life....The people of Ward 8 are going to get more out of me than ever before."
Yvette Alexander: Says she's excited and happy that Barry is still "motivated."

Sorry to hear that, it's a cool bike.

What is RM Cash
ammon in UT
I put this slip on pipe on my 2007 Honda TRX400EX and it is amazing especially for the price. My initial impression before intalling was that it was very high quality and I am comparing quality to my brothers $800 system on his dirt bike. installing was easy and the performance was great. sound is awesome. the look is great which again speaks to its quality. only one complaint which does not diminish my opinion is that it needs to come with a new clamp for the joint because the stock clamp will not fit. I did not put on a clamp because the fit was tight anyway.Read All Reviews

Well, well, well…while most of us still aren't over our disappointment regarding Dear Leader being reelected, it sure didn't take long for another Bush to put his toe in the water when it comes to thinking about a presidential run for 2016, that Bush being Jeb Bush. I do wonder if this information that's been put out there recently is a trial balloon or not…or if Jeb's dead serious about this. Plus, you have to wonder if he'd put Marco Rubio on the ticket as his VP as well.
After you read this report…see what you think. – This is via DC:
Friends of Jeb Bush say the former Florida governor is starting to mull a run for president in 2016, according to the The New York Times.
The newspaper says the Republican – whose father and brother were both president – is "weighing financial and family considerations."
Those considerations include the length of time he's spent in office, how the recession hurt his wealth and whether Republicans are ready to nominate another Bush.
"It continues to intrigue him, given how much he has to share with the country," Al Cardenas, the chairman of the American Conservative Union, said of Bush.
Earlier this week, his son, Jeb Bush Jr., seemed to indicate that Bush is open to a campaign by saying in a CNN interview, "I certainly hope so," when asked if his father will run.
It's believed that Florida Sen. Marco Rubio – who considers Bush to be a mentor and is thought to have national ambitions– would likely not embark on a campaign for president if Bush decided to run.
The newspaper reported that when Rubio held a post-election strategy session with advisers to discuss his political future last week, "the question of Mr. Bush, a mentor, hung over the room."
Earlier this month, a poll conducted by Public Policy Polling indicated that Bush and Rubio are the early presidential favorites among Florida Republicans. In that poll of numerous potential Republican presidential candidates, Bush is preferred by 28 percent and Rubio is favored by 22.
Despite this report being thru the New York Times…I don't doubt this at all. How 'bout you?
Plus…what would you think of a Bush/Rubio ticket? – You can be sure the GOP/RNC big-wigs in power behind the scenes, along with the Karl Roves of the world will be pushing this down our throats as well.

JD Banke
SEASON at Prole Drift
December 5-28, 2013
Gallery hours, Thursday-Saturday noon-6pm.
Opening reception First Thursday, December 5, 2013, 6-8pm at Prole Drift, 523 S. Main St.
The gallery will be closed Thursday December 26.
SEASON and Prole Drift are pleased to announce the opening of PRETTY LITTER, featuring new paintings by Seattle artists JD Banke.
Prole Drift has invited SEASON to exhibit Banke in its International District space for the month of December in an effort to build community and expand the sense of cooperation among galleries. SEASON is excited to have this opportunity and feels it opens the gallery format to other options.
There's a town where all the homes are mobile homes. Every kid is tall and skinny and endlessly moping from one empty swimming pool to another. The sun is always at noon and you can feel the pressure pushing your head into your spine. Parking lots are flat, superflat. In fact the whole town is seemingly built on a perfect flat disk. Nothing moves, but if you push something, it will not stop until it hits one of the numerous dead palm trees or trash cans. Most of the kids have skateboards and they roll effortlessly from one kitchen to another, raiding refrigerators and mothers' purses. They glide by with pockets full of Pepsi and cash and anti-depressants; their long hair swells with the wind and wherever they go, they leave behind the scent of peppermint and fresh cut grass. Someday soon, this town will buckle, the thin-walled homes will become piles of insulation and aluminum. The parents will steal toys and torn denim. They will toss trench coats and notebooks and cans of spray paint into the valleys and move to the top of the hills that look away, and they will drag these kids--their kids--with them to a new town, one less perfect.
JD Banke received his BFA from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, Washington. JD's work has been exhibited at Vignettes and NEPO 5K, additionally his shows have ranged from apartments to coffee shops to hair salons. SEASON is honored to show this new body of work.

Broadway's "Peter and the Starcatcher" play offers a recent incarnation of J.M. Barrie's immortal Peter Pan. But the character goes way, way back, and his story has been told and retold on many occasions. Here are some of the other good ways to rendezvous with the feisty flying boy:
The Broadway musical "Peter Pan": The catchy songs ("I Won't Grow Up," "I've Gotta Crow"), the colorful storytelling and live-action flying are some of the charms of the 1954 stage show that originally starred the great Mary Martin as a raffish Peter. A 1960 TV version with Martin is on DVD, and though low-tech by today's standards it's still delightful family fare. A later rendition, with the charismatic former gymnast Cathy Rigby in the title role, is also recommended on DVD.
Disney's "Peter Pan": Disney's 1953 classic feature has original songs ("You Can Fly!") and memorable animated versions of the classic Barrie characters including little Tinker Bell (who now has her own movie and computer game). A mediocre 2002 animated sequel, "Return to Never Land," updates the action to World War II.
"Peter Pan" Talkie, and Silent: The live-action 2003 film "Peter Pan" starring Jeremy Sumpter is visually and dramatically satisfying. Also on DVD: a decorous 1924 silent version of Barrie's original "Peter Pan" play, fully restored for home viewing.

"Credenti omnia convertuntur in Christum…"
—Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, S.J.
It wasn't what I'd imagined. No diamond that would have rested on her finger like a bud upon a twig, ready to flower in the evening. No darkened pearl concealing a faded, otherworldly light that had once glimmered with a lunar enchantment. It was just a simple, gold band. I measured it: nine-tenths of a centimeter wide, with a diameter of a centimeter and seven-tenths. It wasn't particularly lovely—it had lots of scratches, and "smudged" was the first word that came to mind. [Read more…]

Roseville and Loomis resident contract West Nile virus
By: Joyia Emard, Gold Country News Service
A 31-year-old Roseville man and a 54-year-old Loomis man have contracted West Nile virus, two of Placer County's first reported human cases this year, according to Placer County Health and Human Services. "In Placer County, we typically see the first human West Nile case in late summer," said Dr. Mark Starr, Placer County director of Community Health and Clinics. According to Starr, adults over the age of 50 and those with suppressed or compromised immune systems have a greater risk from the virus and the most serious complications and deaths usually occur in people over age 65. He also said that there are probably more cases of the virus in the community that go unreported. "Most people just think they have the flu," Starr said. Last year, Loomis resident Jim Crets, then 53, contracted West Nile virus. His wife, Jan Clark,said that her husband remembered being bit by a mosquito in his yard at dusk. "His first symptoms were really bad headaches. Then one night he was shaking and he had a fever of 102 degrees. The next day the fever went to 104 degrees," Clark said. Clark said her husband was unable to eat or drink and suffered a partially collapsed lung. Even weeks later, he was still experiencing body aches, intermittent fever and fatigue and had trouble concentrating. This year, the virus was first detected in Placer County in mid-July when dead birds tested positive, according to county health and human services officials. West Nile Virus, which is carried by mosquitoes that have fed on infected birds, is preventable by avoiding mosquito bites. The incubation period from the time of a bite to signs of illness is three to 12 days. Starr said that most people, about 80 percent, who become infected by the virus will have no symptoms, but for certain populations the disease can cause serious illness and death. Of the 20 percent who do become ill, Starr explained that most will experience mild to moderate flu-like symptoms called West Nile fever. The symptoms include fever, a "nasty" headache, body aches, nausea, vomiting, fatigue and sometimes a rash on the torso. The symptoms generally last for just a few days, although they can go on for several weeks. Some individuals, about one in 150 people infected with West Nile, will develop severe illness or may even die. The severe symptoms can include high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and paralysis. These symptoms may last several weeks, and neurological effects may be permanent. The county health and human services department urges people experiencing severe systems to contact their health care provider immediately. Starr said that like other viruses, there is no treatment for West Nile, but that those experiencing severe symptoms may need hospitalization for intravenous fluids, help with breathing, and nursing care. Horses are at a greater risk for the disease. According to veterinarian Dr. Langdon Fielding with Loomis Basin Veterinary Clinic, many horses infected with West Nile will develop no symptoms, but of those who develop symptoms, 30 percent die or are euthanized. Fielding said that during the 2005 and 2006, the clinic treated 20 to 25 horses each year suffering from the virus. Of those, he said that about 60 percent survived. Last year the clinic treated one horse with West Nile and they are currently treating one horse suspected of having the disease. Fielding said that vaccinations have cut the number of equine West Nile cases. He explained that there are three different vaccines available for horses that are administered either once or twice a year. The cost per dose ranges from $24 to $34. There are no vaccines available for people. According to the Web site westnile.ca.gov, this year 132 Californians have been diagnosed with West Nile Virus resulting in one death. There have been eight confirmed cases of the virus in California horses this year and all have died. Information box The Placer Mosquito and Vector Control District and Placer County Health and Human Services offer the following reminders and information about preventing the spread of West Nile virus: ? West Nile virus is not a contagious disease. It is spread by mosquitoes that have fed on infected birds. ? Drain standing water weekly, since that's where mosquitoes lay eggs. Check your yard for water in old tires, flowerpots, birdbaths, buckets and stock water tanks. ? Schedule pasture irrigation to avoid standing water. ? Avoid mosquito bites by staying indoors at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active, wearing long sleeves and long pants, and using an insect repellant. Stable horses at dawn and dusk. ? Report swimming pools that are not maintained and become "neglected" to the district at 435-2140. These pools are ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes. ? Concerned residents may also request an inspection of a property or report a dead bird online through the district's Web site: www.placermosquito.org or by calling the district at 435-2140. ? As dead birds are a surveillance tool to help track West Nile virus,residents are encouraged to report them by calling the California WNV hotline at 1(877) 968-2473, or online at www.westnile.ca.gov. ? Horses are vulnerable to West Nile virus, and the mortality rate for unvaccinated horses is very high. West Nile does not spread between humans and horses. Contact the California Department of Food and Agriculture at 654-1447 or online at www.cdfa.ca.gov. ? For more information, call the Placer Mosquito and Vector Control District at 435-2140 or visit the District's Web site at www.placermosquito.org.

Boehner Dismisses CBO's Health Repeal Cost
House Speaker John Boehner is dismissing an estimate by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office that repealing President Barack Obama's health bill would increase the deficit by $230 billion over 10 years.
"The CBO is entitled to their opinion," the Ohio Republican told reporters in his first press conference as speaker.
"CBO can only provide a score based on the assumptions that are given to them," he added. "If you go back and look at the health care bill and the assumptions that were given them, you see all the double-counting that went on."
Mr. Boehner's office said Democrats, when calculating how much money the health bill would bring in, asked the CBO to ignore the $115 billion it would take to implement the bill, and to count 10 years of revenues but only six years of spending, among other things.
The CBO is generally considered a neutral referee in determing how much bills will cost, and both parties rely on its estimates. Democrats seized on its estimate today, saying it shows the Republicans' plan to repeal the health law next week flies in the face of their promises to cut the deficit.
"Within a week of taking control of the House, Republicans want to add $230 billion to the deficit over the next decade," said Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D., Md.). "Again and again during the campaign, we heard from Republicans that we must focus on jobs and deficits that threaten our economy. It is clear now that those were empty promises."
Mr. Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.) rejected this argument. They tied the repeal of the health law to the economy, repeatedly calling it a "job-killing" measure that saddled businesses with mandates and other expenses.
"We believe that a significant impediment to job growth in this country has been the existence of the ObamaCare law," Mr. Cantor said.
Democrats responded that it's a repeal that would be "job-killing." The health law, they said, not only is creating jobs in the health-care industry, but by helping businesses cover their health costs, is freeing up money to hire more workers.
Mr. Boehner also deflected Democratic complaints that he is allowing no amendments during the repeal debate next week, despite promises of running a more democratic House.
"I promised a more open process. I didn't promise that every single bill was going to be an open bill," Mr. Boehner said. "We went through a whole Congress, two years, without one open rule…There will be many open bills in this Congress, and just watch."
And he heatedly said he does not consider the repeal a waste of time, even though the Senate is almost certain not to follow suit and Mr. Obama would veto any repeal.
"No, I do not," Mr. Boehner said. "I believe it's our responsibility to do what we say we're going to do. And I think it's pretty clear to the American people that the best health care system in the world's going to go down the drain if we don't act."

Friday, 10 January 2014 | MYT 7:16 PM
by rajes paul
National gymnast, Tracie Ang, who has been out injured since last July, is set to make a full comeback for the Commonwealth and Asian Games trials in April. - AFP
KUALA LUMPUR: Patience and diligence are virtues worth having. Just ask national woman artistic gymnast Tracie Ang.
The 20-year-old Tracie has gone through the longest rehabilitation programme in her gymnastics career and is now ready to make a strong comeback and earn tickets to the Commonwealth and Asian Games.
The Commonwealth Games will be held in Glasgow from July 23-Aug 3 and the Asiad in Incheon from Sept 19-Oct 4.
The Malacca-born Tracie expects to be back in full swing by the time she competes in the Malaysian Gymnastic Federation's (MGF) selection trials for the two major events in April.
Tracie has been faithfully undergoing the rehabilitation programme at National Sports Institute (NSI) since last July after suffering from multiple injuries, starting with a back problem and then spreading to her shoulder, ankle and hamstring.
Just before injuries, Tracie had done well for Malaysia. She was the country's top performer when she made it to one final at the World Cup Challenge in Doha as the fifth qualifier in the balance beam.
Tracie is glad that she managed to get through the rehabilitation without any disruption this time.
"It is the longest time that I have gone for treatment but I did not stop half way. This time, I followed it strictly," said Tracie.
"I'm glad that I followed it without dropping out halfway as I'm almost 80% recovered. It was not easy though as there were days when I felt like giving up ... but I was disciplined.
"Now, I'm looking forward to the selection trials with more optimism. I aim to win the right to represent Malaysia in both the Commonwealth and Asian Games."
Tracie did creditably well at the last two Games. She made it to one final at the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi 2010 and finished ninth in the individual all-around. At the Asiad in Guangzhou the same year, she also qualified for one final and finished 10th in the individual all-around.
Tracie said that a new coach from China, Kui Yuan Yuan, has been managing the national team since January.
National chief coach Nurul Fatiha Abdul Hamid is expecting her second child and has requested for time-off from handling the elite athletes. She will be in charge of the juniors for now.
The others in the elite programme are Farah Ann Abdul Hadi, Tan Ing Yueh and Nur Eli Elinna Azmi.

"Children can act out in ways that can leave parents feeling helpless or discouraged. As a parent and a counselor I appreciate the parent's desire to provide the best for their child and the struggle they may experience over the thought that "something is not going well with my child". I provide children with the opportunity to work through their struggles in an empathetic, nurturing and child-friendly environment. I meet with parents and their children or teens that are struggling with behavioral, emotional or peer issues."
"I am a therapist who is passionate about seeing people improve the quality of their life."
"Parenting is hard work and children don't come with instructions! As a parent we often worry about our children's well-being and we want to do the best for our children. At the same time we can feel overwhelmed especially if our children have experienced abuse, are acting out, experiencing adjustment to a divorce or other family changes, making bad choices, or seem sad and worried. Sometimes we don't know where to turn or what to do next. You may start to feel like you've tried everything with no results."
"If you are new to therapy, you probably have questions and even some fear about the process. If you have tried therapy before and were disappointed with the results, keep reading. I do more than just listen, I want to provide you with tools, that you can use to make long term, positive changes in your life. I enjoy working with both teens and adults. I have 15+ years of experience helping others with anxiety, depression, troubled relationships, boundary issues, and work place stress. I enjoy helping other moms with parenting issues, relationship difficulties, and to lead less stressful lives."
"Hello! I hope to see you soon! Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Leslie Phillips, a state and nationally licensed professional supervising counselor (LPC-SC, NCC), working in the human services field since 1997. I have experience in helping individuals/couples work through life's struggles such as depression, death, divorce, anxiety, abuse, sexuality, geriatrics, anger management, couples/martial issues, adjustments, obesity, serious mental health diagnoses,and more. I also supervise other professionals working to achieve their LPC (counseling license) in Alabama. I also teach Psychology classes at Columbia College for the past 4 years.."
"I wanted to provide counseling to individuals who would not normally seek out counseling. Clients who are unable to financially afford to attend counseling or are uncomfortable being seen in an office environment. It is therefore, my commitment, to help any and all people regardless of their circumstances."
"My goal is to help individuals and families find strength and power within themselves to achieve their personal goals and deal with moments of adversity. I strive to help people work through conflicts, traumas, and other significant life events in order to reach a healthy sense of healing and empowerment. I believe in promoting open communication, restoring trust in one's self, and utilizing effective coping skills."
"Each of us has to make sense of our world. When things don't make sense we experience anxiety, depression, anger, confusion or other difficulties. Therapy is directed at helping each individual become more effective at dealing with their own unique situation. In couple or family therapy each person is helped to represent themselves well while becoming increasingly sensitive to the concerns of their partner or other family members.."
"As a psychotherapist, my goal is to help you RENEW your strength! I have 23 years of experience working with various populations in various settings, including the military, military families, drug and alcohol addiction, and at-risk teens. I have experience in both inpatient and outpatient treatment, as well as residential treatment. I believe everyone needs to be heard without judgement.

My knowledge of psychological and spiritual issues has allowed me to integrate both disciplines. I provide a holistic approach that addresses the mind, body, and soul."
"I help people by listening to what they want from counseling, incorporating their values and Christian values to determine goals. Treatment plans are behavioral and specific using cognitive emotional reframing to achieve positive attitudes. Supportive encouraging confidential responses focus on the person's current and longer term situations. Goals are determined by assessing symptoms and circumstances using Biblical principals. Prayer is included as desired."
"While interning at Behavioral Sciences, I have had experience with a variety of mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention-deficit disorders, and bipolar disorder. I am trained in the use of the Cogmed working memory-training program. Cogmed has been used successfully with children and adults with attention-deficits (ADHD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, and adults experiencing memory loss."

Reading for pleasure at a young age
I'm often amazed (and pleased) at how children already in elementary school are reading big books for fun. They can curl up for hours with the Harry Potter novels and read them all by the time they enter middle school, and while in middle school they finish off more challenging fantasy works like The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. They become deeply absorbed in reading these thick volumes, and regard the experience as pure delight.
My siblings and I had all read Robinson Crusoe and Swiss Family Robinson by the time we entered junior high school, and I still remember the intense enjoyment I derived from reading Don Quixote as a sophomore in high school (neglecting to do my regular class assignments while preoccupied with Cervantes' huge tome for a couple of weeks).

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
How does Google determine a searcher's location?
Location targeting is based on the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the searcher. This technique allows us to determine the searcher's country with close to 99% accuracy.
How do I know this? I created some campaigns targeted at French surfers only. Just to try my luck, I went to Google.Fr and searched for the keywords in question.. and they came up even though I'm in the UK and use a UK ISP. Simply going to Google.Fr meant I could see the French ads.
So, yeah, IP might be a major factor, but going to Google.fr allowed me to see my France-only ads. One imagines, however, that truly French sufers will see my France-only ads on whatever Google they use.
So it would interesting to know if using a local Google overrides the preset IP-based localization.
Yes. Local Google does override the IP address.
Do this test - I am assuming that you are from the US.
Goto Google.com and type in a keyword used by advertisers that is NOT international. For example, any keyword used by credit card advertisers. That's because an US based credit card advertiser will not be interested in traffic from other countries.
Open a new browser window and goto Google.co.uk and type in the same keyword. You will see completely different adwords ads, some of them will even insert UK into the title of the ad.
Ah, but the plot gets even thicker than that!
I mostly use the Google Toolbar, but sometimes I go to Google.com anyway. When I go to Google.com, I get all the regular .com stuff, and not the UK screen. There's no option to select UK sites, like on the UK version, and no redirection (as opposed to what happens to, say, Belgian surfers who always get redirected to google.be).
BUT.. I don't get any of the US holiday pics. I know this because someone on IRC told me to go and look at the MLK holiday logo on Google, and I went along, refreshed several times, and it didn't come up.
So, Google is screening in some ways, but they don't actually redirect UK users specifically to the UK site.
BUT.. I don't get any of the US holiday pics. I know this because someone on IRC told me to go and look at the MLK holiday logo on Google, and I went along, refreshed several times, and it didn't come up.

Deviant Crossing- Marie Sable by TheninjaOshawottWatch
©2013-2016 TheninjaOshawott
Name: Marie Sable
Animal: Panda!
Gender: Female
Birthday: May 22nd!
History: Marie was a young girl with her parents in a small town, she loved spending time with them and they'd always buy her sketchbooks to draw. She was a very timid child, meaning she had little to no friends to play with. Her parents wanted her to break out of her shell, but they also didn't want her to change.Finally after a few years of being timid her parents decided to introduce her into designing, to pass the time and be more creative. She loved sketching dresses and making accessories, her mother then introduced her into sewing to make them. She's not as handy as her mother with a thimble but she can make simple dresses if she has enough thread and time. After becoming old enough to get her own house she moved to MapleVille for a fresh start, her parents were very supportive of her move and gave her 500 bells to keep her going. Now she's still timid but not as much as she use to be.
Personality: Timid! She is very shy and quiet at first, barely speaking and only doing it to be polite. She tends to stay away from crowds and prefers hanging around with just one person at a time. Crowds intimidate her and it takes everything she has to stay nearby one. Loud noises frighten her and put her off her sketches so she likes to sit in her house from time to time.
Home Acre: D4
Catchphrase: Teehee
Quote: "Keep your head high and your dreams higher!"
- She only uses her catchphrase when she's comfortable with a person, this usually being after about 2-3 minutes of bonding.
- Her sketchbook is precious and contains all of her sketches, so she gets uncomfortable when people touch it or try to look at it without permission.
- Her idol is Gracie.
- Her jumper is purposely too big "for style"
- On Halloween ALL MASKS scare her.
- At Christmas she usually wants a "Sketchbook" or an item of clothing
- She chose D4 as her home because she likes the sea as it's quiet
So, cute!
Thanks ;u;. To be honest I wasn't sure it'd look nice but it seems it is ;u;

Skip to comments.Eliminating feminist teacher bias erases boys' falling grades, study finds
Posted on 01/19/2013 2:21:14 PM PST by huldah1776
... After fifth grade, he found, student assessment becomes a matter of a teachers subjective assessment of the students performance, and is further removed from the guidance of objective test results. Teachers, he says, tend to assess students on non-cognitive, socio-emotional skills. This has had a significant impact on boys later achievement because, while objective test scores are important, it is teacher-assigned grades that determine a childs future with class placement, high school graduation and college admissibility.
Eliminating the factor of non-cognitive skills
almost eliminates the estimated gender gap in reading grades, Cornwell found. He said he found it surprising that although boys out-perform girls on math and science test scores, girls out-perform boys on teacher-assigned grades....
(Excerpt) Read more at lifesitenews.com ...
Had a female teacher in 5th grade who was going thru a divorce at the time. Her treatment of the boys in her class made it quite clear that she was not overly fond of the male gender.
My sons experience this with a teacher who hated children, especially boys. My wife stood outside the classroom when the teacher didn't know she was there. She heard the teacher screaming at the children as though they were dogs. They eventually transferred her to teach in junior high, where she is still a bitch.
Beware of male teachers that like boys too much. Most teachers are liberals including the queer ones.
A good reason put men back into teaching school.
Boys do better without lady teachers. This is news?
I encountered this decades ago, particularly with nuns in Catholic middle school. It's nothing new.
Just another example of political correctness and a different form of affirmative action (different from race based).
Just about every change that has been made in education since the 1960s has served to do nothing but screw things up and dumb down education for everyone. Bigots and fools in charge.
This isn't something new - I experienced a problem with female teachers way back in 1947. Some of them just didn't like little boys at all - very apparent.
I went to grade school 50 years ago. It was a different world then. They actually taught then.
Interesting article. This is should have been placed under news, though.
It is very interesting. I recently took a seminar about how boys do learn differently than girls. For the most part, girls can sit there and listen to an hour long lecture and get the information needed to pass a test afterward. Boys on the other hand actually need a short lecture, a hands on activity, a break that allows them to get up and move around, and a graphic organizer in which they can manipulate to get a better understanding of the topic.
I teach at an all-boys high school where we have an intenstive block schedule - we see our students daily for 85 minutes for a total of 4 classes per day. I allow them to stand in the back of the room to take notes, we go for walks around the football field about half way through the class, I use brain based thinking puzzles as a break as well. I use case studies and make up workbook activities to do in class as well. I also make heavy use of movies that can be directly related to the curriculum. I have noticed a huge difference in their learning. Last year I worried about two dozen F's where as this year I had nothing less than a C in all thre classes.
I am also thinking that a regular high school should consider single sex classrooms even on a co-ed campus - we actually have a private high school in the area that does this with a ton of success.
Ed school majors to a significant degree are gullible, easliy led, generally ignorant cannon fodder for the leftwing operatives who run said schools. They tend not to be very smart, and are quite suggestible.
Parents have a MUCH more profound influence on children than teachers do.
Send them to public school if you must, but when they get home YOU contribute to their education. Don't leave it to the politically correct schools to do it all.
I remember when they were 3-4 going through the star, car, bar, tar etc english words. And when we were sitting outside the store while mom was shopping going through the whole farmer buys seed, grows crops, buys gas, brings to store, store sells, makes profit, pays employees who shop and spread money around etc. They got tired of me lecturing them every chance I got but they absorbed it so I didn't care if they got tired of it or not.
Through their high school years it was trivial pursuit cards at our dinner table. I read the questions on the cards and gave them a chance to answer then gave them a short lecture on each one. It forced them to use their gray matter and made their minds more flexible. We had a couple of decks and borrowed 2-3 more decks from relatives. They whined about that too. But intelligence is comprised of two components just like a computer. There's a structural component that we're born with and can't do much about, and there's a data component that we can DEFINITELY do something about.
That's most interesting! I'm glad to hear that such schools exist - outside of the elite private schools available only to the super-wealthy.
People like you are saving a few from the mental retardation designed into our public school system.
You got it. Think about it. Teachers expect boys to sit still for 7-8 hours while they drone on about various subjects. I'll admit to daydreaming my way all the way through grade school.... unless it was a reading assignment...which I loved (I read many of the books in the school library). But otherwise school was just too boring. I've talked to a lot my buddies, and they pretty much said the same thing. How can you pay attention to some teacher droning on when you can look out the window...the weather's warm, the birds are singing, and you want to be out there with them. It is the average boys nature when they're young to be moving around and not chained to a desk for any period of time.
We had to have ours tested — then we got to rub his scores in the snotty principal's nose! Got whiplash from her rapid attitudinal turnaround... and she skipped him a grade.
yes, real men.//not poofsters or perverts.
Well, that's not always the answer. One of my male family members and a neighbor boy were treated horribly by bully male teachers when they were in middle and high school. The term "scarred for life" is not an exaggeration.
The answer is not to let your kids go to government schools, which just seems to attract liberals with power needs. Kids are easy, vulnerable targets.
And after they have been teaching awhile, they turn into truculent tyrants in their families, holding their children as ransom from aunts, uncles and grandparents and making all their in-laws jump through hoops as they attempt to "organize" all family get-togethers with their husbands' relatives. We have three of them in our family. Most of us stay in our own homes for holidays now that Mom has died rather than put up with their gimlet-eyed criticisms of everything we hold dear.
I went to grade school 75 years ago. They were all old maids, poor dears. They worked hard and taught us well. They loved us , the boys and the girls. Iam sad they could not find husbands during the depression, because the men could not find work.
Thanks huldah1776.
Yep. It's not just feminist teachers driving boy students down. It's feminist moms.
Hard-charging feminist careerist moms are giving their sons short shrift. With no full-time mom at home to push and encourage them, adolescent boys grow up as alienated slackers. The daughters, by contrast, are taught to do their homework and become independent women who don't need men.
It's the prescription for disaster. America has a lot of shacked-up young people who delay marriage, divorce frequently, and have only a few lonely kids.
Given the time frame, it's also possible that many of those women might have had boyfriends or fiances who had died in the First World War, and they never found someone else.
I have a lot of problems with this article. For one thing, it's really vague. What the heck is it about? Some examples would help.
But my main problem is that it is one a pro-life website.
My hope is for as many people as possible to become pro-life, that it won't be seen as just a Christian issue or conservative issue but a human rights issue. When a leading pro-life group or site starts going off-mission it can turn off would-be pro-lifers.
There are parents who push their kids to excel in sports to get scholarships, so they don't have enough time for their studies. These kids may play on college teams, dreaming of being a professional, then when they're injured simply don't know what to do with themselves. Or the parents push their kids so hard in high school that the kids get into the good college their parents wanted, and just slack off because they've reached their goal.
Our son once told us he appreciated the fact that we DIDN'T nag him about doing well in school all the time. He had friends in college who hardly spoke to their parents anymore, because they were finally free of the haranguing. That was very sad to hear. We didn't have to harangue our son, because he had a very strong internal drive, and still does, as an attorney who wants to be a judge, someday.
Good for your son. Sounds like he's doing well.
But I have trouble believing that most children are pushed too hard to succeed. They are usually not pushed hard enough, and they are overconfident about their abilities because they never had the proper parenting to give them the right sense of perspective. Studies say that American children think they do quite well in studies and yet they are in fact well behind kids overseas in stuff like math and science.
A mom at home is the best encourager of a son — loving, prodding, showing him how a successful man will be attractive to women. She does not have to nag, just be there. She should be there when he comes home after school, and welcome him with genuine love and enthusiasm, as only a mother can. Then he will be less likely to seek solace in sex or video games (or worse). He will be less inclined to hang out with bad apples and wild latch-key kids who complain that their parents push them too hard so let's go smoke some weed.
Nope, I don't think most kids are pushed too hard to succeed.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
