Kendra Wilkinson, a model and actress, married Hank Baskett, who is an NFL player, on June 27 this year. Days prior to her wedding ceremony, the 24-year-old star confirmed to E!

Scoutmaster Musings
Early Morning Walk
We got an early start with a ride from a very helpful scout back to the trail at 6am. We've hiked 7.5 miles - all on roads - and are now resting on the front porch of the old hotel at the Rhine Center intersection. Check out my current location on the map.
Today will be short with my mom shuttling us back to Potowatomi to get my vehicle and make plans for the next week or so while staying at my folks'.
Yet another beautiful day walking through the farmland of Wisconsin. A 3mile trail section is ahead and then the long Kettle Moraine forest trails.

There are few movies that tap into what it is to be a child, but The Goonies captures it perfectly. It may be adventurous and far-fetched, but that is the adventures we had when we were young. The Goonies: 30th Anniversary Collector's Edition blu-ray celebrates the undying love that people have for the movie that never seems to age (even if the actors do).
With their homes in danger from the local rich developers a group of friends set off looking for pirate treasure. Little do they know that they will end up being pursued by the evil Fratelli gang intent on stealing it from them.
The Goonies works because what feels like a perfect storm of writing (by Steven Spielberg who came up with the story and Chris Columbus as screenwriter), directing from Richard Donner and the chemistry between the Goonies themselves. While actors such as Sean Astin, »

From thrillers to sci-fi to horror, here's our pick of 20 films from 1986 that surely deserve a bit more love...
A fascinating year for film, 1986. It was a time when a glossy, expensive movie about handsome men in planes could dominate the box-office, sure (that would be Top Gun). But it was also a year when Oliver Stone went off with just $6m and came back with Platoon, one of the biggest hits of the year both financially and in terms of accolades. It was also a period when the British movie industry was briefly back on its feet, resulting in a new golden age of great films - one or two of them are even on this list.
As ever, there were certain films that, despite their entertainment value or genuine brilliance in terms of movie making, somehow managed to slip through the net. So to redress the balance a little, »

The demonstrator spoke so softly I could barely hear what she was saying even though I had my computer and the video turned up full volume and she should have stopped the video during the long process of rolling the whole bead and began again closer to the end of rolling it.

*Okie dokie Smokie, how 'bout some mornin'/midday gossip courtesy of TMZ?
It seems that the very day Jermaine Jackson went and purchased a $160,000, 2011 Ferrari, the state of California had his wages garnished because he was behind on his child support.
The report goes on to say that according to official documents Jermaine's baby mama, Alejandra Jackson, obtained an order which allowed the government to withhold $3,750 from his wages.
Alejandra — who has had recurring problems getting child support from Jermaine — got the order after he fell behind. The breakdown of the $3,750 — $3,000 for monthly support, and $750 for past due.
The garnishment order allows the government to garnish future wages as well to cover the $3,000 a month.
TMZ is also reporting that Katherine Jackson is not too thrilled at Jermaine for dropping $70k in cash (he traded in his Rolls-Royce for $90k) when he couldn't pay his bills.

Learning assessment report released
A report on the way student and beginning teachers learn how to use assessment to support and improve student learning, was released by the Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards (BOSTES).
The 'Learning Assessment' report identifies how future teachers can best learn to use, analyse, interpret and develop assessment to evaluate student learning and modify teaching practice.
President of BOSTES, Tom Alegounarias said "Assessment is an essential tool for teachers. Used properly it can tell them a great deal about student learning. It also provides clear feedback on their teaching, so they can improve their own performance."
"Selecting what, how and when to assess have always been important questions for teachers.
"In an ongoing cycle, teachers assess students to identify the skills and knowledge to be achieved, they choose appropriate teaching and learning strategies and then assess student outcomes.
"The rationale and benefit of the report is that it will focus attention on how teachers and authorities such as BOSTES, which is responsible for the HSC, ensure a consistent approach to assessment with clear ongoing value and purpose.
"The report will also help universities prepare student teachers to develop assessments when they enter the classroom."
President of the NSW Council of Deans, Professor Chris Davison said the Council welcomes this report which identifies important gaps in terms of teacher knowledge and skills around assessment and brings together a range of priorities for all teachers in one key document.
"Improving all teachers' capacity to collect and use assessment information to improve learning is critical to enhancing student achievement."
Professor Davison added that the Council of Deans is holding a forum with BOSTES on 19 October to share best practices and discuss how best to implement the recommendations in initial teacher education.
Mr Alegounarias said "The positive response from the universities to the report is really important.
"Assessment is constantly evolving and often high stakes, so new teachers need to start their careers with the skills and confidence to use assessment effectively, for the benefit of their students and their own professional development".
The report emphasises the importance of professional experience placements for teaching students to observe best practice, and lists key elements of effective assessment practice. These include:
- Teachers understanding the key role assessment plays in bringing together syllabus elements and performance standards to ensure learning opportunities and clear expectations about achievement
- Beginning teachers having sufficient data literacy to understand the results of large scale testing programs and how they can help improve student learning.
The report will also be used by BOSTES and its partners in the school education sector, as the basis of professional development for teachers.
"Teaching should be a process of continual learning and teachers need to continually develop their teaching practice to ensure the best learning outcomes for their students," said Mr Alegounarias
The report was undertaken as part of the Great Teaching, Inspired Learning (GTIL) reforms designed to improve the already high quality of teaching in NSW schools. Download a pdf of the report here.
BOSTES recently released a report on how maths is taught in primary teaching degrees, and last year released a series of reports addressing online initial teacher education, literacy learning in early primary school, and classroom management and students with special needs.

Virtual Testing - Xen Vs. KVM
Some of you might know that I use virtualization for quite some time already, usually to test other OSs and the development of EasyLFS without having to leave my working-environment, and without having to have a free partition.
On my PC I use KVM, as the AMD64 X2 in that box has support for hardware-virtualization, on the notebook I use QEmu together with KQEmu, as the Intel Core Duo lacks that support. So, more or less I'm working in the same environment, except that on my PC I get better performance thanks to the virualization-support in the CPU.
Since both of those solutions use full virtualization the whole hardware is emulated, which cuts down the performance.
Fedora, and probably many current distros include packages for Xen in their repositories. So I thought it might be a good idea to try out a new way to virtualize systems.

The heartbeat of open source projects can be heard with GitHub data
GitHub released charts last week that tell a story about the heartbeat of a few open source, giving insights into activity, productivity and collaboration of software development. Why are these important? Enterprises increasingly define software development as a top priority to gain competitive advantage or defend against disruption. They often turn to open source software because it is fast and agile. Enterprise IT decision makers should understand GitHub because it is the backbone of most open source projects.

Pakistan targets Indian post along Uri; 9th ceasefire violation
Srinagar: Pakistan Army indulged in `unprovoked` shelling along the Line of Control (LoC) in Uri Sector of Jammu and Kashmir in the ninth ceasefire violation in less than a week.
The Pakistani troops started firing shells towards Indian territory in Kamalkote area of Uri Sector at around 7.00 PM last night, defence sources said today.
The shelling, which continued for nearly an hour, was retaliated by the Indian side but there were no reports of any one getting injured in the incident, they said.
The ceasefire violation in Uri last evening was the third on Tuesday and came within hours after an Army jawan was killed in firing by Pakistani troops at Indian forward posts in Balakote sub-sector along the LoC in Poonch.
Earlier on Tuesday, Pakistani Army had also resorted to shelling of mortars besides automatic and small arms firing in forward areas along LoC in Hamirpur and Bhimbher Gali (BG) sub-sectors of Poonch district.
The ceasefire violations along the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir have been on the rise this year.
