Ponytail tips you may not have thought of
Chances are, if you've ever had long hair, you've worn a ponytail. It's one of the easiest ways to manage bedhead and pull hair away from your face. However, there are a few tips and tricks for making the perfect pony that you may not be aware of, according to Glamour magazine's beauty blog.
If you're trying to create a glamorous ponytail that's not at all gym-worthy, it's essential to start with plenty of volume. Use Leonor Greyl – Condition Naturelle to add body while blowdrying, then add a bit of texture with Leonor Greyl – Eclat Naturel.
"A good gauge to where to place your high ponytail is follow the natural line of your cheekbone toward the top of your head," celebrity hairstylist Marcus Francis told the news source. "Tilting the head back while smoothing the nape area will help it from sagging, keeping it tight and clean in the back."
If you notice any bumps, use the end of a tail comb to push them back toward the ponytail, which should disguise them. Don't forget to wrap the elastic with a strand of the ponytail – this keeps it looking elegant.

My peripheral trading system generated following trade signal before close today:
"Reverse LONG FB to SHORT FB at market close on 1/14/2013"
Alerts performance so far (since Jan 8th, 2013): -0.92%. See my previous posts for alert history.
any changes at the opening bell today for AAPL SPY or FB?
They needed this news to hold up the stock because earnings would not do it alone. Now that this news was a dud and already selling, no chance earnings will hold this stock up but will be selling another wave after earnings.
Serious..? YOUR system called for a long position and was WRONG
god, whadda idiot your are..
Could you read my message again? It said "Reverse LONG FB to SHORT FB at market close on 1/14/2013". It means exit long FB position and get into short FB position at market close yesterday. Let me know if you are still confusing about my alert yesterday.
1pm announcement today... very difficult call using any system today... money flows are positive into FB... while the technicals call for a pullback... but you have to stick with the system
Who cares about you're stupid trading system?
Does it know about "the announcement"?
Or ANY fundamentals?
I think not.
My system is mechanical. It takes in certain market trading data, and outputs the trading signal statistically. Let's see what happens tomorrow.
I posted the results after extended trading was closed, for informational purposes only.
It is recommended to stay Cash on earnings report dates.
The signal was generated before the trade time indicated in the alert statement. The signals can show up (rarely) before regular market open, (rarely) during regular trading hours, or (mostly) before regular market close.

Finance Glossary
Just call us Bond. Amortized bond.
Over 700 finance terms, Shmooped to perfection.
A form of business organization in which the business acquires a legal status separate from its owners; this limits the liability or risks of the owners by placing their other assets beyond the reach of court action and creditors. Corporations divide ownership into units represented by shares of stock that can be transferred or exchanged. Corporations are also generally characterized by the separation of ownership from management; thus shareholders often play very little role in the practical management of the corporation.
Bottom line: if you sue a corporation, you can't go after Richie McRich who owns the corporation, too.

Hi How can I change the gap between IMAGES (NOT the gap between slideshows which is the integer you input in the admin area).
I tried using .css which worked fine until the end of the slideshow where the images butted up against the next round of slides i.e. the .js must be calculating the distances without any gap between the images. How can I change it so ther's a gap of say 20px between each image without messing up the slideshow gaps?

Eminem Lyrics
We're Still #1 Freestyle
Teats and Thurston Howell, and yelling Wordsworth
My mother smoked crack I had a premature birth
I'm just a nerve purse with badly disturbed nerves
You wanna be the one to step up and get served first
99% of aliens prefer Earth
Come here to rule the planet, storm on your turf
I hid a secret message inside of a word search
With smeared letters, runnin together and blurs spurts
Hang with male shovenest pigs and perverts
I point water pistols at women and squirt shirts
Been a bad boy since diapers and Gerbers
My first words were bleep bleep and curse curse
Never had shit and I still don't deserve dirt
My breath still stinks, and I'm on my third cert
Digging out my stitches, and hollering nurse nurse!
You said this shot would numb me this shit just hurts worse!

Denmark's new coalition government, elected last month, has adopted a new, more ambitious climate policy committing the country to reduce its GHG emissions by 40% from 1990 levels by 2020 through domestic action. This target brings Denmark into line with the level of reduction proposed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), as well as with the targets of several other Nordic and Northern European countries.
green economy
This post is based on a release that originally appeared on the website of The Climate Institute.
Australia's House of Representatives voted to pass the Clean Energy Future Legislation on October 12th. The legislative package will put a price on carbon pollution, promote investment in renewable and clean energy technologies and support action to reduce carbon pollution.
This post originally appeared on the Corporate Eco Forum's Ecoinnovator blog.
Tomorrow's leading companies will be those that pioneer innovative solutions to match climate change challenges. Today, this is largely uncharted territory; current best practices often focus on incremental product improvements (e.g., cars with moderate fuel efficiency gains) or are limited by existing business models (e.g., facility upgrades with high first costs). This type of change is not sufficient to achieve the 80 to 95 percent reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions the science tells us we need by mid-century.
The Open Climate Network recently concluded a three-day workshop in which participants from 18 organizations in 13 countries gathered to refine methodologies for the network's first national assessment report, expected next year. The report will analyze country progress on climate change commitments, with a view towards "ground-truthing" countries' performance on implementing effective policies that contribute to the low-carbon transition.
Today the GHG Protocol launches two new global greenhouse gas accounting standards - for corporate value chains (scope 3) and product life cycle emissions. Janet Ranganathan, WRI's Vice-president for Science & Research, and Pankaj Bhatia, WRI's Greenhouse Gas Protocol Director since 2004, describe the 12-year program's critical role in business and government efforts to address climate impacts.
The fate of heads of state across the globe is tied in large part to their ability to ensure employment, economic growth, and access to cheap food and clean water. Rising food prices have helped topple dictators across the Middle East. Europe, the United States, Japan and other major economies are spending trillions of dollars to restore growth and jobs.
Too often, efforts to address environmental challenges such as pollution, habitat loss and global warming are seen as in conflict with job creation, economic growth and development. Some have suggested that protecting forests will lead to scarcity of land for farming, exacerbating the rise in food prices.
While there are often trade offs, this is not always the case. Recent analysis by WRI's team of experts, working with the Global Partnership on Forest Landscape Restoration, has unveiled one of the greatest potential opportunities for combined economic and environmental gains.
While the potential role of 'green jobs' is hotly debated, many participants in this debate are talking past one another – starting from different assumptions and definitions, working from different datasets, or hailing from opposite ideological viewpoints on the "true" costs of unmitigated greenhouse gas emissions.
A review of the literature provides evidence that clean energy policies and investments can help create job opportunities and competitive gains for the economy. These findings should heighten the demand for policies and investments that hasten a shift to a low-carbon economy and the creation of more clean-energy jobs.
This post was written with Pablo Torres, an intern with the Two Degrees of Innovation project.
In these turbulent economic times, leaders around the world are looking to strengthen their economies and create jobs. They are grappling with how to effectively capitalize on the green economy to drive growth. In a new WRI working paper, we look at ways that policymakers can create new green jobs through investments in innovation to meet our challenges in the power sector.
Building the capacity to innovate is a key competitiveness strategy. Successfully competing in the growing low-carbon power sector is no different. However, innovation—improvements in cost and performance—can also close the gap between the low-carbon technologies of today and the low-cost, high-performance technologies the world needs. Policymakers have a crucial role to play in supporting innovators and creating a dynamic innovation ecosystem where they can thrive.
Two Degrees of Innovation
How to Seize the Opportunities in Low-Carbon Power
This paper offers a strategic framework for policymakers seeking to capitalize on the low-carbon transition.
20 years after the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, "Rio+20" will review progress on and reaffirm a global commitment to the policies designed to foster economic growth that is both inclusive and respects the planet's limited carrying capacity. Amidst a lingering global recession, a widening gap between rich and poor, and heightened competition for energy, food and other scarce natural resources, the conference could not be more timely. Unfortunately, no clear vision for Rio+20 has emerged, and expectations of the Conference remain low.
Three Demands for Rio+20
What should Rio+20 achieve, and how should governments prepare for it? To help answer these questions, WRI has been working as part of The Access Initiative (TAI) to encourage governments to develop specific recommendations for Rio+20. As part of these efforts, the global TAI network has now launched the Three Demands (3Ds) Campaign.

This is a great plugin. But I have one small issue: When I write a caption for an image the credit shows up, even though when I codes do not show up in the edit page. So no matter if I want them to be there or not they show up. If I do not have a caption then when I insert the image it works properly, meaning it creates the codes for credits but I can remove them if I want.
I suggest adding qTranslate support for the next versions:

Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. — A watchdog group wants South Carolina's top prosecutor to investigate whether someone gave money to the unemployed, unknown Democrat who won the U.S. Senate primary last week.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington also filed a complaint Tuesday with the Federal Election Commission accusing Alvin Greene of failing to file appropriate campaign paperwork.
GOP State Attorney General Henry McMaster's office did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment. Greene hung up the phone when reached at home.
Greene stunned state party leaders June 8 when he defeated a former state lawmaker in the primary to face Republican U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint. Losing candidate Vic Rawl has filed a protest, saying there was a malfunction of some kind in last Tuesday's election.
The Democratic Party's 92-member executive committee plans a hearing Thursday on Rawl's protest and could order the primary results overturned. Rawl could also appeal to the state Supreme Court.
Pundits have been puzzled since Greene, a 32-year-old political unknown, defeated Rawl with 59 percent of the vote to 41 percent for Rawl.
Rawl, now a Charleston County council member, said he campaigned statewide, put 17,000 miles on his car and, in the days before the primary, sent out hundreds of thousands of e-mails and automated phone calls seeking voter support. Greene said he traveled the state to talk to voters, but he had no campaign organization and no website.
Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, South Carolina's top Democrat in the U.S. House, called on state and federal authorities to probe how Greene came up with the money needed to file as a U.S. Senate candidate. Clyburn said he thinks someone put Greene up as a shell candidate to embarrass the Democratic Party.
Greene said he saved up his military pay for two years for the $10,440 filing fee he paid in March.
Rawl said Monday that he suspects Greene's victory is due to either voting machines or software malfunctioning.
"As to who did it, why they did, whether it was an accident or was intentional, I have no idea and I don't feel comfortable commenting on that," he said.

Hey i can take stick all day long !!!!!I cant spell my pc skills are awful I`ll be the first to admit it.I`m also the first to admit that LFC the club I love is very weak on the pitch at the moment.Suarez yes he is tricky and causes the opposition real headachesBut He isn`t a clinical finisher.Carroll Well do i have to spell it out I think not!!.Henderson Again lacking touch and contrlled passing that comes standard as a midfield player.Look at how may goals we have leaked in the last 10 mins of games for LFC it`s just not good enough.The thing is the truth hurts the most and thats why i am so angry.Gerrad would tell you the exact same off camera.He aint so happy either!!!
Good call !!!


text: Giro just launched a new line of cycling apparel called "The New Road", designed to be "as comfortable on the ride as they are at the destination." (where have I heard that before?). Obvious first thought was this was yet another me too effort from a company looking to gingerly dip their toes into a rising trend. However, after a quick once through on the line, I'm impressed. They have a distinct style—successfully not resembling anything else out there (apart from normal clothes). The fact they're made in the Republic of California puts these in a rare company indeed. The difficulty of keeping prices reasonable while manufacturing high-end clothing in the States is a herculean one. Now, that being said, the line isn't cheap. It's priced as premium cycling wear, yet considering the technicality, look, materials (merino galore) and it's hecho en Estados Unidos, it seems more reasonable. In the end, the fact that "cycling clothing" is expanding and growing from hideously designed stretchy stuff is a benefit to all. Hat tip to John Watson (@JohnProlly) for the post holeshot. It appears he also was a part of the clothing line's development. Below are a few standout looks I liked. Check out the rest of the line on Giro's New Road microsite.

Seems the more you look at it the greyer it gets. OK for touring perhaps where nothing gets washed anyway but if this is 'road apparel' you'll need some flashing neon or the SMIDSYs will get you! Cycleboredom I see your point, but I'm relieved it's refreshingly devoid of neon. Besides, motorists still don't see me when I'm rocking fluo from head to toe. redvers Well OK maybe it will grow on me in time, 50 shades of grey was the flavour of last year after all…All I'd say is watch your back 😉 Stefan Rohner will you test their stuff?

I'm new to the WP community. I have a lot of experience with HTML and CSS but very little with PHP and WordPress. So far, I've been able to accomplish everything I've wanted through searching the site and using other resources. But I'm going to need help accomplishing this one.
Here's the scenario: I have a lot of data for a game's catalog. The game is Animal Crossing, so here's an example of the data for one item:
Name: Exotic Wallpaper
Price: 1,420
Available: Nook's Shop
In itself, it's really simple. It also has an image associated with it. But there are thousands of little entries like this, and I need to figure out a way to display them that doesn't include hand-coding every line.
I want to output an unordered list, with each entry (like above) inside a list item. I also want to display the image associated with each entry as the background of the li. (The image names are similar to the title, so maybe that could be used somehow? [Ex: Lovely Wall = lovely-wall.png]) Basically, I'm thinking if I could somehow set up a loop that fetches data from a table and uses that data to output the items above, as well as the background image, that would work. I just want something that will be easy to edit in the future.
Here's an example of what the final product will look like: http://cl.ly/MGRQ
I can't link to the site itself since its currently in private beta.

There are some situation in which you may want to prevent automatic loading of initial fixtures by syncdb management command. One example is when you want to create a database schema and fill it with data from the other database. If there were initial fixtures loaded in both databases there probably would be some primary key conflicts raised.
There is a stealth option for that, called load_initial_data, and used by testing setup, by I believe it's not fair to take away from user such a useful one.

Why not, but it sounds like you're misusing the initial_data fixtures.
In my understanding, they exist for data that will always be in your database and will not change. For example, you have some fixed categories used by M2M fields in other models, so you create a model for them and hardcode the list in a fixture.
comment:3 Changed 5 years ago by msiedlarek
I see your point, but as I said -- when you're using django-admin fixtures and syncdb everything should be ok, but when using some Django-independent database management utilities existence of initial data in freshly created database schema can cost you some trouble. In fact -- I'm facing this problem right now. Besides -- this is nice, simple feature which doesn't complicate anything that much.

What about the flush command? This change should be included there, too. I'm marking the patch as 'needs improvement.' By the way, I think this feature can be very useful, for development anyway. Whenever I change my models and need to resync, I often want to quickly verify the model without having to update my initial data---sometimes this is necessary anyway, but not always.

Study of Back Biasing Schemes for ULV Logic from the Gate Level to the IP Level

AbstractMinimum energy per operation is typically achieved in the subthreshold region where low speed and low robustness are two challenging problems. This paper studies the impact of back biasing (BB) schemes on these features for 28 nm FDSOI technology at three levels of abstraction: gate, library and IP. We show that forward BB (FBB) can help cover a wider design space in terms of the optimal frequency of operation while keeping minimum energy. Asymmetric BB between NMOS and PMOS can mitigate the effect of systematic mismatch on the minimum energy point (MEP) and robustness. With optimal asymmetric BB, we achieve either a MEP reduction up to 18% or a 36× speedup at the MEP. At the IP level, we confirm the MEP configurability with BB with synthesis results of microcontrollers at 0.35 V.We show that the use of a mix of overdrive FBB voltages further improves the energy efficiency. Compared to bulk 65 nm CMOS, we were able 28 nm FDSOI to reduce the energy per cycle by 64% or to increase the frequency of operation by 7×, while maintaining energy per operation below 3 µW/MHz over a wide frequency range.

SAN JOSE -- The San Jose Sharks placed forward Adam Burish on the injured reserve Tuesday morning, and recalled forward Bracken Kearns from the Worcester Sharks, the team announced in a press release.
During the 2012-13 season, Kearns, 32, played in one regular season and seven postseason games with San Jose. In 66 games with Worcester, Kearns posted 46 points (21-25=46), leading the team in goals, assists and points. He was named Worcester Sharks MVP and represented the team at the 2013 AHL All-Star Game.
Burish, 30, has been out since mid-September with a lower body injury.

I want to, either, delete the Home page completely (that would, probably, contravene the rule that my site has to have a Home page) or stop the two pages being shown on the header line.
So far, the only way I can find to stop them appearing is to 'unpublish' them or delete them either of which actions results in errors when the Home page loads up and I try to select either of them for display!

NOW - Being unable to travel within the 18 month timeframe, I called and asked for my money back. They said the deposit was non-refundable, but I could re-activate my package for the low price of 199 bucks! Unbelievable! I have told them time and time again that all I want is my money back yet they keep calling every week to offer re-activation for a price that keeps changing. I have just received a call from a gentleman and after offering re-activation yet again for 99 dollars this time he told me that if I wanted to lose all my money (400 dollars) then that was not his problem.
Please beware of this company...they SEEMED legit, however their phone number always changes and their website is no longer available.

I called NADN immediately & informed them that my husband & I would like to relinquish our memebership with NADN & wanted our money back. They told me that I had to fax them a request which I did immediately after getting it notarized & sent certified. The date that I faxed it and also mailed it was Jan. 30, 2003. Then on Sat. Feb. 8,'03 @ approx. 4 p.m. (eastern time) a man from NADN called & sasid that they could refund my $1412.62 but that they could not refund the $2995 for the web site becuase I hadn't contacted them within 72 hours.
I told him the following:
1. I never ok'd them to take the money out unless and until I spoke with my husband & that they were supposed to call me back to find out what my husbands answer was. My husband said definitely not.
2. I was never infromed about a 72 hr. waiting period for rejecting the web site & furthermore when I realized that they'd taken the money out I immediately called & said we didn't want to be involved with thier company then and only then did they tell me to send a fax requesting that I relinquish my membership with their company.
When I informed him of the above items he said that I would get a package to return thier merchandise.
Since that day they have only re-imbursed the $1412.62 from my credit card.
I have called at least 35 x's or more in the last 6 months.
I have talked with Bob Cooper, Chris Cotner and Jennifer, Adam, Louis, Josh. They all said that my refund was in Process and To this day I still haven't received it.
Around June 13 I called and talked with Jennifer, again. She said that they have a new system where if a client hasn't received a refund within 60 days that they send it to a search system and that they will kick it out and process it within 72 hours. Well, it's been several 72 hours and still I haven't received anything.

The sprinter took the victory ahead of Yauheni Hutarovich (FDJ-BigMat), Yohann Gene (Europcar) and Lucas Sebastian Haedo (Saxo Bank).
A break of forty riders got ahead early in the race from which six riders attacked – including the likes of Jeremy Roy (FDJ-Bigmat), Julien Antomarchi (La Pomme-Marseille) and Damine Gaudin (Europcar).
However, the race went down to a sprint finish and Andriato picked up the victory despite having only turned professional at the start of the season.
Dumouloin Samuel (Cofidis) finished 12th which was enough for him to extend his lead at the top of the Coupe de France standings to Dumouloin Samuel (Cofidis) with just three races left in the 16 race series.

CL easier than premiership
admits Benitz. So that puts liverpool`s achievements in the competition over the last few seasons in perspective. Along with all that crap by liverpool fans of how success in the CL proves that they are a better team than utd, arsenal and chelsea cause they`ve only won the premiership.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Hey waddaya know? You were right! (Well, for now at least - like I said, it disappears soon enough if I don't post much)
A Yahoo! User Mar 14, 2008 15:44 Flag
Excuses, excuses - the reason liverpool haven`t won the premiership or even come close to winning it is that their squad isn`t good enough. They have some very good players - Gerrard, Torres and Carragher and a few players who look like they couild be very good once they have adjusted to the premiership like Babel. But they don`t have enough quality in the first team and they struggle when the star names are missing - which is why they have problems when the squad is rotated. In the CL Benitz tends to field his strongest first 11 and yes get his tactics right but that doesn`t make them the best team in England because they aren`t able to reach that level consistently.
Although I hate to say that,but I rather giving up the PL and focus 100% energy into winning the CL.
It's bacame difficult to win PL this season since Arsenal and Chelsea are so tight with us,plus we have long time never win the CL,it pains me to say that but this season we can only choose 1 cup from 2 league,if you choose PL you'll simple lose CL,but if you give up PL you can easily win CL,simple.

We should get this straight - the CL is not easier to win than the league. Just ask Mancini, Fergie and Arsene. Fergie have tried for so many years and only won it once, whereas Arsene has still to win it while being a very successful manager in the EPL.
The CL is easier ONLY for Rafa because his tactics work against continental teams but not against the hurly burly of English teams.
Sometimes he just has no clue how to play against teams like Barnsley, West Ham or Portsmouth while he can plan a very detailed strategy on how to overcome Barcelona, Inter or Juventus.
If he stays at Liverpool for another 10 years he might never win the EPL but I reckon he might win the CL another couple of times.

Devon, I normally have some respect for your post when I come visit your board, but this is foolish. If its so easy, then why are Utd not winning it every year? If its so easy why does Roman want it so badly, but can't win it. If its so easy, how come Arsenal have never one it.
I'm not saying that the prem is easier than CL, but lets be honest here beating Europes top clubs, home and away is a major accomplishment, and to belittle it smacks of petty hatred which you should be bigger than Devon.

Did I say that it wasn`t an important competition? All I posted were the comments of the liverpool manager. And he has a point in that the CL is a cup competition which can turn on the result of one game which is why it and other cup competitions can`t ve compared with winning a league - whether it be the premiership, la liga or any other european league. That doesn`t mean that clubs and fans don`t want to win the CL or the fa or Carling cups but at the end of the day you don`t have to be the best team over the season to win just the best on the day - or as with utd in 1999 the luckiest.
It is not so much that it is easy to win the CL. But it is a cup competition and involves a fair bit of luck. It is certainly not an indication of who is the best team in Europe. I do concede that Benitez is good once you reach the knock-out stages (partly because he has made LFC hard to beat, although this is the reason you balls up in the EPL: too many draws), but you must admit that the mini-league format of the group stage is a headache for Liverpool most seasons, and you usually just about scrape through.
United & Chelsea have still to lose a game in the CL this season. Arsenal got slammed by Sevilla and Liverpool had some well dodgy results in the groups. Who will win the CL this year? I don't know. It could be Schalke or Fenerbache. If it is an all English final then the competition will be reduced to a farce just like when they had the Milan derby final here. I want to see the champions of two distinct European leagues play each other. What is the point otherwise. Benitez and Ferguson think it is great that 4 'English' clubs are in the last eight - I say it makes a mockery of a 'European' tournament. When will TV rights and money stop polluting the game?
A Yahoo! User Mar 13, 2008 01:49 Flag
Dave thats an easy one, Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal all try to win their League at the same time.
The Champions League should have teams that are at least trying to be Champions and not just playing for Euro qualification every season.
Just imagine a Team winning the Premier League, the FA Cup & The European Cup all in the SAME season. All three are pinacles.
You don't think you're taking it a bit seriously? This isn't the Iraq dodgy dossier, it's a quote from Benitez. And yes, it will be interesting when Busby sees this... Wait, no, no it just won't.
And what is it with the clucking? Are you a rooster or a chicken or something?
A Yahoo! User Mar 12, 2008 20:20 Flag
hey wisey, don't give us that sob story.
you did wrong and yahoo! took away your medallion, big deal?
repent and stay on the straight and narrow path, you'll have every chance of getting it back.
A Yahoo! User Mar 12, 2008 20:09 Flag
Tut Tut. No need to throw a tantrum when you been exposed.....!
Busby said you should be a leader, wait till he sees this thread.
And Devon.... what have you to say about your conduct in this thread.... to think I was complimenting your awesome store of knowledge only the other day!
Fine, I'm sorry that your manager is admitting you don't have it in you to win the EPL.
I'm sorry you're so disappointed in your team that you'd rather spend your time posting at their rival's message board.
I'm sorry that you're reduced to Rafa's spin doctor, which I'm assuming is an unpaid position.
A Yahoo! User Mar 12, 2008 19:55 Flag
I can see why yahoo took away that medallion.
Devon has been a very naughty boy. Let me quote what Rafa actually said:-
"For us the Champions League is a bit easier because we can be concentrated in two games," said the Spaniard, who guided the Reds to success in the tournament in 2005.
See the difference? "FOR US....."
I look forward to your and Devon's apology in your next posts.
cluck cluck
No he's not. He's pointing out that Rafa Benitez - the guy who won the CL with Liverpool - says it's an easier competition than the EPL, which Liverpool have never won.
This is nothing to do with Devon, he just reported what Benitez said.

A Wondrous Thing

Remembrance of Essays Past
And, of course, a Happy Thanksgiving to all!
A Modest Proposal by B.A. Libby, B.A., M.A., etc.
è On a very cold day with high wind chill, all the kinesthetic learners will be driven to a mall, or other public location, about five miles from campus. They may wear only light summer clothing, such as T-shirts, shorts, cotton slacks, and sandals. Each will receive a sandwich, a pint of bottled water, and a knapsack containing about fifty pounds of hockey pucks.
è The students will be told they will get $1 for each hockey puck they bring to campus.
Rationale: Students will have the opportunity to experience the common dilemma of greed vs. reason, in that they must decide whether, and when, to lighten or discard the valuable but heavy knapsacks in order to have a better chance of reaching home.
è The students will walk back to campus.
è It is highly desirable that, as a part of our Community Relations, a number of local people take part in the Project. Their job is to follow the students, and, when any fall behind the main body by more than fifty yards, to pelt them with stones, throw them into ponds, or beat them with clubs.
Rationale: The citizens simulate the Russian peasants and Cossacks who followed the French army from a safe distance but attacked stragglers.
è A teacher will ride beside the students in a chauffeur-driven car, calling out encouragement to his "troops" and composing bombastic "official bulletins" announcing that the campaign is going very well. (To assist with the bulletins, he may be accompanied by a "chief of staff" provided by the Office of Institutional Advancement.) When his limousine is half a mile from the school, he will wave encouragingly to the freezing remains of his "army" and be driven quickly back to campus, leaving his men to finish the trek on their own.
Rationale: The teacher simulates Napoleon, who departed the army in a swift coach on December 5, two weeks before the epic retreat ended.
è Those students who reach campus will be given a cup of hot chocolate and sent to the hospital. The others will be buried.
1 Kinesthetic (or "haptic") learners (for the benefit of nonprofessionals who might not know) are those who, we are told, cannot learn much from reading or listening, but who learn best by doing things with their hands and the movement of their bodies. Some laymen, ignorant of current pedagogical "best practice," might think that such students would not be enrolled in preparatory schools or aspire to college diplomas, but would instead be directed into shop classes, vo-techs, the lower enlisted ranks of the armed forces, and similar places where they could use their talents to best advantage without cluttering up the halls of academe; but that is not the case today.
2 I do not really know what these last words mean, but I have noticed that the most esteemed educational experts and holders of Doctorates of Education use them quite a bit. I thought I should use them too, so I will be taken seriously.
3 For these, the "hands-on" experience can also be a "hands-off" experience!

The 200th Anniversary
Hello, all. I have not posted anything for a long time. I just haven't been inspired by any humorous thoughts for quite a while--and the news in recent days is not going to inspire any, either. But in a more serious vein, I post here a link to a 45-minute presentation I gave on June 5 during Alumni Weekend at my school. For several years the Alumni Office has asked me to give an annual lecture to those alumni who wish to attend. My topics have included D-Day, Napoleon's Russian campaign, and the centenary of the start of World War I. This year I chose the 200th anniversary of the most famous battle ever fought. Attendance was fairly good--although you will not see most of the audience in the video. Anyway, take a look if you want to see what I do for a living (but normally to younger audiences whose attendance is not voluntary). I'd like to hear any feedback you may have.
Perhaps I should also add, lest visitors forget, that the main purpose of this blog is to drum up support for my six books. I invite you to explore the blog to learn more about them, or to contact me with any questions you might have. I especially invite you to buy one... or two... or.... They are quite good, you know. :-)

Every Day A New Millennium
Prospectus for the Year 1517
Parents and students who wish to embrace the future and who realize that the traditional dull, stultifying rote learning of the Trivium (grammar, logic, rhetoric) and Quadrivium (arithmetic, geometry, music, astronomy) do not prepare young people for the exciting world of the future should consider enrollment in Italy's most innovative and creative educational institution, the Siena Superior Merit School.
At SSMS, we strive to equip our scholars with SIXTEENTH CENTURY SKILLS, the skills they will need to succeed in the exciting modern era of the new century, a century that is so different from all preceding centuries that entirely novel educational methods are required.
E The ASTROLOGY CdE: Advances in the highest celestial art make traditional astronomical studies all but obsolete. As sure knowledge of this science progresses, those who grasp it fully are assured of profitable employment. Why study the past when you can predict the future?
E The ALCHEMICAL CdE: What young man would not thrill to the exciting pursuit of the Philosopher's Stone? Turn lead into gold! Experiments in our newly-completed, ultra-modern facility, Farelli Hall, (a gift from an alumnus most successful in the manufacture of gun- powder), will not be without some danger, but the
E The THEOLOGY CdE: Those students whose passion is for truth and certainty will surely thrill to the careful exegesis of sacred texts and close study of Canon Law. What can be more certain than that, as the Holy Catholic Church enters its 1,500th year of existence, its eternal truths assure its unchallengeable domination of our continent, and eventually the world? We plan to open a branch school in Wittenberg, Germany, under the direction of Father Johann Tetzel, Europe's foremost expert on indulgences.
We have also instituted CLASSI MISCELATI ("Classes that are Blended") to give students adequate time to pursue their passions. These classes meet just twice per week. By a magical process that has to be experienced to be understood, students will learn just as much as before, even though they meet 60% less than before, in those rather obsolescent areas—such as Italian, History, and Foreign Languages—that are really no longer as relevant in the dynamic Sixteenth Century as they were in the benighted twenty centuries that preceded our new, exciting age.
Note: Pedagogues needing further enlightenment should consult "Well, Hello," the post for 7 July 2013.
