Cooperative Inquiry revisited: Reflections of the past and guidelines for the future of intergenerational co-designMona Leigh Guha | Allison Druin | Jerry Alan Fails
Volume 1, Issue 1, January 2013, Pages 14-23
Since its creation, the Cooperative Inquiry method of designing technology with and for children has been refined, expanded, and sometimes questioned. Cooperative Inquiry has been adopted and used widely throughout the world, and it continues to evolve and grow to meet current needs. This paper examines the origins of Cooperative Inquiry, discusses how it has changed since its original inception, and clarifies the intent of its techniques. This paper concludes by presenting how Cooperative Inquiry can support designing with and for today's international, independent, interactive, and information active children in the context of the developing world, mobile computing, social computing, and the ubiquity of search. © 2012 Elsevier B.V..
3D printing for children: What to build next?Michael Eisenberg
Volume 1, Issue 1, January 2013, Pages 7-13
The era of affordable 3D printing is clearly underway; indeed, the historical patterns of growth in 3D printing are, in many ways, strikingly similar to those associated with the growth of home computing in the late 1970's. One of the prominent areas of increased interest in 3D printing is in the realm of education: fabrication tools are becoming available to college undergraduates and high school students, and even to younger children. Accompanying this burgeoning growth, however, there is an acute need to consider the ways in which 3D printing should develop, as a technology, in order to accommodate the abilities and activities of youngsters. This paper discusses a number of technological challenges to be overcome in making 3D printing truly available to children over the next decade. The most prominent challenges described here include: (a) expanding the range of physical media available for printing, (b)incorporating ideas derived from "pick-and-place" mechanisms into 3D printing, (c) exploring methods for creating portable and ubiquitous printing devices, (d) creating tools for hand-customization and finishing of tangible printed objects, and (e) devising software techniques for specifying, altering, and combining 3D elements in the context of printing. By facing these challenges, we can provide children (and adults) with a remarkably powerful and expressive means for creating all sorts of personalized artifacts. © 2013 Elsevier B.V..
Conversing through and about technologies: Design critique as an opportunity to engage children with autism and broaden research(er) perspectivesChristopher Frauenberger | Judith Good | Alyssa Alcorn | Helen Pain
Volume 1, Issue 2, May 2013, Pages 38-49
We describe the development of a tool to support the contributions of children with Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) in a design critique activity. The work is part of the ECHOES project in which we included children with ASC in a participatory design process to create a technologically enhanced learning environment. We start by discussing the general difficulties of involving children with ASC in participatory design work, particularly a socially demanding activity such as design critique. We then describe how we developed the requirements for a tool to support children with ASC in design critique, the resulting prototype and a pilot study. We discovered that the simple annotator tool served complex interactional needs and supported design critique in unexpected ways, by scaffolding the interaction with the researcher and providing opportunities for emotional self-regulation. After shifting our focus from outcomes only to these interactional aspects, we carried out a study with 7 children with ASC investigating in more depth how the tool supported the children's participation. We report on the study and our analysis, and discuss the direct and indirect implications this work has had on the ECHOES project and beyond in terms of design outcomes, methodology and contributions to knowledge. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

Research opportunities: Embodied child-computer interactionAlissa N. Antle
Volume 1, Issue 1, January 2013, Pages 30-36
The child-computer-interaction community has been increasingly influenced by an interaction paradigm called embodied interaction. Embodied child-computer interaction is grounded in theories of embodied cognition that include a dynamic systems perspective on children's development, different mechanisms for offloading cognition to the world, and inter-related theories about how movement informs learning and cognition. The last ten years have seen these perspectives on cognition rise in prevalence and acceptance in the cognitive science community. But what is embodied child-computer interaction? How does it change how we design interactive technologies for children? What are the gaps in knowledge that need to be addressed? In this paper, I provide a short introduction to embodied cognition and embodied child-computer interaction, discuss several roles that theories can play in child-computer interaction research, and identify three important groups of theories that have practical application in interaction design. Each area is explained and illustrated with recent work from the field. Opportunities for future research are broadly identified. The main contribution of the paper is the framing and identification of three opportunities for research in embodied child-computer interaction, which I hope will set the stage for future research publications in this international journal of child-computer interaction. © 2013 Elsevier B.V..
Parent-child interactions during traditional and computer storybook reading for children's comprehension: Implications for electronic storybook designAlexis R. Lauricella | Rachel Barr | Sandra L. Calvert
Volume 2, Issue 1, January 2014, Pages 17-25
© 2014 Elsevier B.V..The purpose of this study was to examine how parents and children interact during traditional and computer storybook reading in their home. Thirty-nine, 4-year old children read both a traditional and a computer storybook with a parent. Parent responsiveness and child verbalizations were coded during each type of book reading experience (traditional vs. computer). Parents' interactions during traditional and computer storybooks were similar for many variables but differed on overall parent engagement in favor of computer storybooks. Children's story comprehension scores were not significantly different between the two types of storybooks. For both types of storybooks, child attention, child language, and parent engagement were significant predictors of story comprehension. Our results suggest that a storybook is a storybook, whether the story is presented on paper or electronically, although the ways in which parents and children engage with the storybooks may differ as a function of the platform.
Bridging serious games and participatory designRilla Khaled | Asimina Vasalou
Volume 2, Issue 2, January 2014, Pages 93-100
© 2014 Elsevier B.V.Participatory design (PD) has become widely popular within the interaction design community, but to date has had little influence within serious game design processes. We argue that serious game design complicates the notion of involving users as co-designers, as serious game designers must be fluent with both domain content and game design. In this paper, we share our experiences of using PD during the design process of a serious game. We present observations stemming from attempts to apply the existing PD methods of brainstorming and storyboarding. Reflecting on the shortcomings of these methods, we go on to propose a novel PD method that leverages two fundamental qualities of serious games- domain expertise and procedurality-to scaffold players' existing knowledge and make co-design of serious games an attainable goal.
Supporting the requirement analysis phase for the development of serious games for childrenOlga De Troyer | Erik Janssens
Volume 2, Issue 2, January 2014, Pages 76-84
© 2014 Elsevier B.V.In this paper, we argue that before defining the scenario of a serious game, a thorough preparation, i.e., requirement analysis phase is needed. Before an attractive scenario can be defined, one should decide and clarify a lot of different issues that could influence the setup of the serious game, as well as the scenario(s). This can be done in plenary sessions with the different stakeholders, but experience has shown that some guidance is needed to have focused and effective sessions, as the stakeholders are usually from different disciplines and have different backgrounds and expertise. To support this phase, we developed a tablet (iPad) app usable by non-computing, as well as computing people. We discuss the tool, as well as the way it supports the users in the requirement analysis phase for the development of serious games for children.
Measuring product liking in preschool children: An evaluation of the Smileyometer and This or That methodsBieke Zaman | Vero Vanden Abeele | Dirk De Grooff
Volume 1, Issue 2, May 2013, Pages 61-70
This article provides a detailed evaluation of two summative evaluation methods, This or That and Smileyometer. The methods' reliability and validity were examined, using a sample of 113 preschoolers (ages from 33 to 90 months). The results show considerable promise for This or That for measuring preferences across entertainment products. This or That resulted in reliable and valid responses in preschool children aged four and older. Nevertheless, low reliability and validity scores were obtained for This or That in preschoolers younger than four years old. As for the Smileyometer results, preschoolers' responses clearly indicated an overrepresentation of extreme positive scores that were inconsistent with their actual product preferences. Consequently, the validity of these young children's responses evoked through the Smileyometer was not supported. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
From pen-and-paper content to educational math game content for children: A transfer with added difficultyMarie Maertens | Mieke Vandewaetere | Frederik Cornillie | Piet Desmet
Volume 2, Issue 2, January 2014, Pages 85-92
© 2014 Elsevier B.V.The use of educational games is nowadays well-known, although its effectiveness in terms of learning and motivation has not been firmly corroborated yet. In this research, the focus is on the use of adaptive item sequencing in an educational math game (Monkey Tales) as a way to provide learning content that is adapted to the knowledge level of the learner or player. One way to provide this is adjusting the difficulty level of the content that is presented hence allowing for optimal learning during gameplay. In order to realize this, accurate estimates of the learners' skills are necessary, as well as accurate estimates of variables in the gaming environment that determine how much difficulty learners may experience while completing the items. The goal of this study is to compare difficulty ratings from users and experts in order to acquire reliable estimates of the difficulty of the math rules offered in Monkey Tales. The results suggest a double format effect: not only the gaming format adds difficulty to educational content, but also the format by which educational content is presented in a game is likely to add difficulty which affects learners' in-game performance.
Building educational activities for understanding: An elaboration on the embodied-design framework and its epistemic groundsDor Abrahamson
Volume 2, Issue 1, June 2013, Pages 1-16
© 2014 Elsevier B.V..Design researchers should inform the commercial production of educational technology by explicating their tacit design practice in workable structures and language. Two activity genres for grounding mathematical concepts are explained: "perception-based design" builds on learners' early mental capacity to draw logical inferences from perceptual judgment of intensive quantities in source phenomena, such as displays of color densities; "action-based design" builds on learners' perceptuomotor capacity to develop new kinesthetic routines for strategic embodied interaction, such as moving the hands at different speeds to keep a screen green. In a primary problem, learners apply or develop non-symbolic perceptuomotor schemas to engage the task effectively; In a secondary problem, learners devise means of appropriating newly interpolated mathematical forms as enactive, semiotic, or epistemic means of enhancing, explaining, and evaluating their primary response. In so doing, learners heuristically determine either inferential parity (perception-based design) or functional parity (action-based design) as epistemic grounds for reconciling naïve and scientific perspectives. Ultimately embodied-learning activities may interleave and synthesize the genres' elements. This taxonomy opens design practice into richer dialog with the learning sciences. An appendix lays out the embodied-design framework in a "how to" form amenable for replication both within the domain of mathematics and beyond.
Making the Maker: A Means-to-an-Ends approach to nurturing the Maker mindset in elementary-aged childrenSharon Lynn Chu | Francis Quek | Sourabh Bhangaonkar | Amy Boettcher Ging | Kumar Sridharamurthy
Volume 5, Issue , September 2015, Pages 11-19
© 2015.In this article, we present a new direction for the role of Making for children. Beyond the use of Making to teach specific STEM concepts as is common in prior work, we propose that Making activities should be designed with the focus of instilling a Maker mindset in children. Our target is elementary-school-level children aged 8 to 11. We present an approach that conceptualizes Making as a 'Means-to-an-Ends' to nurture a Maker mindset and identity in children. The approach was embodied in a carefully-designed storytelling Making kit called the Maker Theater, and two Maker workshops for children in the target age range. Our analysis goal in this article was to investigate how the potential for a Maker mindset/identity formation may be manifested in children's attitudes and behaviors. Guided by a theoretical framework of three key determinants of the Maker mindset (self-efficacy, motivation and interest), we analyzed workshop data using qualitative coding methods to derive thematic indicators. We discuss our contributions and the value of our findings for the child-computer interaction community.
Understanding teenagers' motivation in participatory designOle Sejer Iversen | Christian Dindler | Elin Irene Krogh Hansen
Volume 1, Issues 3-4, January 2013, Pages 82-87
Engaging children in the design of digital technology is one of the core strands in child-computer interaction literature. However, few studies explore how teenagers as a distinct user group are engaged in Participatory Design activities. Based on a case study comprising ten Participatory Design workshops with teenagers (13-15years old), we identified a range of tools that designers employed in order to engage the teenagers actively in Participatory Design: rewards, storytelling, identification, collaboration, endorsement, technology, and performance. Although these tools were realized through the use of well-established Participatory Design methods and techniques, a deeper understanding of teenagers' motivation and motives is essential to understanding how tools and techniques may be made to support teenagers' motivation. We propose a Cultural-Historical Activity Theory approach to teenagers' motives and motivation as a framework for understanding how various tools may be employed to engage teenagers in Participatory Design activities. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.
A Utopian agenda in child-computer interactionOle Sejer Iversen | Christian Dindler
Volume 1, Issue 1, January 2013, Pages 24-29
While participatory techniques and practices have become commonplace in parts of the Child-Computer Interaction (CCI) related literature we believe that the tradition of Participatory Design has more to offer CCI. In particular, the Scandinavian Cooperative Design tradition, manifested through the Utopia project, provides a valuable resource for setting an agenda for CCI research that explicitly addresses ideals and values in research and practice. Based on a revisit of the Utopia project we position the ideals of democracy, skilfulness, and emancipation as the core ideals of a Utopian agenda and discuss how these resonate with issues and challenges in CCI research. Moreover, we propose that a Utopian agenda entails an explicit alignment between these ideals, a participatory epistemology, and methodology in terms of tools and techniques in CCI practice. © 2013 Elsevier B.V..
Designing digital fabrication learning environments for Bildung: IMPLICATIONS from ten years of physical computing workshopsEva Sophie Katterfeldt | Nadine Dittert | Heidi Schelhowe
Volume 5, Issue , September 2015, Pages 3-10
© 2015 Elsevier B.V.The first programmable bricks appeared about 30 years ago, and attributed to constructionist hands-on learning. With the upcoming of FabLab initiatives and the maker movement, learning activities with digital fabrication technologies have now gained importance and spread over the world. Educational concepts that contribute not only to acquisition of skills but also to Bildung (i.e. deep and sustainable learning) are demanded more than ever.For more than a decade, we have designed, conducted and evaluated constructionist learning environments for digital fabrication with physical computing material focusing on children. In the course of our research, we identified core ideas to facilitate Bildung that are summarized as be-greifbarkeit (being 'graspable'), imagineering and self-efficacy. In this article, we elucidate these principles and show how they occur and can be facilitated in learning environments for digital fabrication with programmable construction kits. By further applying the ideas to novel production technologies, we identify challenges and give implications for integrated educational and technology designs for young people that take into account the unique qualities of digital fabrication technologies for Bildung.
Design thinking for digital fabrication in educationRachel Charlotte Smith | Ole Sejer Iversen | Mikkel Hjorth
Volume 5, Issue , September 2015, Pages 20-28
© 2015 Elsevier B.V.In this paper, we argue that digital fabrication in education may benefit from design thinking, to foster a more profound understanding of digital fabrication processes among students. Two related studies of digital fabrication in education are presented in the paper. In an observational study we found that students (eleven to fifteen) lacked an understanding of the complexity of the digital fabrication process impeding on the potentials of digital fabrication in education. In a second explorative research through design study, we investigated how a focus on design thinking affected the students' performance in digital fabrication processes. Our findings indicate that design thinking can provide students with a general understanding of the creative and complex process through which artifacts and futures emerge in processes of digital fabrication.
Student behavioral engagement during mathematics educational video game instruction with 11-14 year oldsKirby Deater-Deckard | Shereen El Mallah | Mido Chang | Michael A. Evans | Anderson Norton
Volume 2, Issue 3, January 2014, Pages 101-108
© 2014 Elsevier B.V."Serious digital games" for education are presumed to be engaging, but little is known about whether engagement is ubiquitous, whether it persists over time, whether it is found for all students across the full range of prior gaming experience, and whether it is actually associated with game-based learning outcomes. To address these gaps, student behavioral engagement (i.e., sustained attention, persistence was examined during mathematics instruction using a mathematics serious digital game for the iPad®, in a study of 97 11-14 year olds (i.e., 6-8th grade students in the United States system). Consistent with the study hypotheses, observations revealed that most students were highly engaged, but engagement was lower for students who were observed later in the semester and who had the most prior gaming experience. In addition, observed engagement was associated with better performance on an assessment of the skills being taught in the game. In contrast, none of these effects was evident for self-reported student engagement. Time course, prior gaming experience, and method of assessing engagement are important modulators of student differential response to game-based instruction and should be considered when evaluating the influence of serious digital games on learning outcomes.
Engaging teenagers productively in service designSimon Bowen | Helena Sustar | Daniel Wolstenholme | Andy Dearden
Volume 1, Issues 3-4, January 2013, Pages 71-81
Engaging young people in participatory design can be challenging, particularly in health-related projects. In a study co-designing diabetes support and information services with teenagers, we found framing activities using popular culture was a useful strategy. Various cultural references helped us stage activities that were productive for the design process, and were engaging for our young participants (e.g. exploring practical implications through discussions in a 'Dragons' Den'). Some activities were more effective than others and the idea of language-games, which has been widely explored in participatory design, explains why our strategy was successful when there was a clear 'family resemblance' between the popular cultural references and certain essential stages of designing. However, attention is required in selecting appropriate cultural references if this strategy is adopted elsewhere, and design facilitators should focus first on devising accessible language-games, rather than expecting popular cultural references to provide complete solutions to the challenge of staging participatory design. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.
Robust evaluation for a maturing field: The train the teacher methodJudy Robertson | Andrew Macvean | Katy Howland
Volume 1, Issue 2, May 2013, Pages 50-60
This paper highlights the importance of evaluating educational technology for children in naturalistic classroom contexts. We present the train the teacher method (TTM) which formalizes a method for IDC researchers to use when deploying and validating an educational system. Our key findings indicate the need to work in partnership with classroom teachers, providing both initial training and continued support. This will both result in more valuable research data, and address a gap in teachers' continued professional development. The TTM aims to ensure that teachers, students, and researchers can benefit from innovative educational systems deployed in real classroom contexts. We believe that the TTM could be adapted to other domains of study within interaction design community.The paper goes on to argue the more general point that the interaction design and children community should shift emphasis away from technology innovation and towards reporting replicable longitudinal research findings from real-world settings. We discuss possible approaches to achieving this, for example through changes to reviewing criteria and by actively supporting data and source code sharing. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
CTArcade: Computational thinking with games in school age childrenTak Yeon Lee | Matthew Louis Mauriello | June Ahn | Benjamin B. Bederson
Volume 2, Issue 1, January 2014, Pages 26-33
© 2014 Elsevier B.V..We believe that children as young as ten can directly benefit from opportunities to engage in computational thinking. One approach to provide these opportunities is to focus on social game play. Understanding game play is common across a range of media and ages. Children can begin by solving puzzles on paper, continue on game boards, and ultimately complete their solutions on computers. Through this process, learners can be guided through increasingly complex algorithmic thinking activities that are built from their tacit knowledge and excitement about game play. This paper describes our approach to teaching computational thinking skills without traditional programming-but instead by building on children's existing game playing interest and skills. We built a system called CTArcade, with an initial game (Tic-Tac-Toe), which we evaluated with 18 children aged 10-15. The study shows that our particular approach helped young children to better articulate algorithmic thinking patterns, which were tacitly present when they played naturally on paper, but not explicitly apparent to them until they used the CTArcade interface.

Learning to work together: Designing a multi-user virtual reality game for social collaboration and perspective-taking for children with autismSarah Parsons
Volume 6, Issue , December 2015, Pages 28-38
© 2015 Elsevier B.V.Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) find it difficult to engage in reciprocal, shared behaviours and technology could be particularly helpful in supporting children's motivations and skills in this area. Designing educational technologies for children with ASD requires the integration of a complex range of factors including pedagogical and cognitive theories; the affordances of the technology; and the real-world contexts of use. This paper illustrates how these factors informed the design of a novel collaborative virtual reality environment (CVE) for supporting communicative perspective-taking skills for high-functioning children with ASD. Findings from a small-scale study involving eight typically developing (TD) children (aged 8 years) and six children with ASD (verbal mental age 9 years) are also reported. Children with ASD were supported to be reciprocal and collaborative in their responses, suggesting that this CVE could form the basis for a useful technology-based educational intervention.

Widening participation in technology design: A review of the involvement of children with special educational needs and disabilitiesLaura Benton | Hilary Johnson
Volume 3-4, Issue , January 2015, Pages 23-40
© 2015 Elsevier B.V.This article presents a review of the design methods and techniques that have been used to involve children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) in the technology design process. Situating the work within the established child-computer interaction research sub-field of participatory design, we examine the progress that has been made in relation to the participation of this specific child population. An extensive review of the literature in this area has been undertaken and we describe the different roles, responsibilities and activities that have been undertaken by both the child and adult participants within previous technology design projects. We also highlight the different types of outcome from this previous work involving children with SEND, exploring the impact the children's participation has had on both the resulting technology as well as the impact on the child participants themselves. Finally we conclude this review with a set of reporting recommendations for technology designers and researchers aiming to involve this population in future technology design projects.
Designing for young children with autism spectrum disorder: A case study of an iPad appS. Fletcher-Watson | H. Pain | S. Hammond | A. Humphry | H. McConachie
Volume 7, Issue , January 2016, Pages 1-14
© 2016 Elsevier B.V.Individuals with autism spectrum disorders often benefit from technology-based intervention. Technologies being marketed to the autism community, and relevant published research, are proliferating. However, in the context of research in health and education, the requirement for an effective design process is not necessarily recognised. Understanding this process is necessary to facilitate recommendations about best practice in technology design and implementation where the end result is being applied in a health or education context. This report describes the development of an iPad app designed for very young children with autism. We describe methods for user-centred design with relevant stakeholders, expert evaluation and pilot testing of demo versions of the app, and their consequences for the finished game. In a final evaluation with 41 pre-schoolers with autism, average game play over a 2 month period was 11 minutes per day, with no evidence of obsessive behaviour. We discuss how this approach permits individual studies to inform the design of multiple technologies, contributing to dissemination of high standards in how therapeutic and educational technologies for specific populations are designed, pilot-tested and reported.

Good morning, Vagabonds
Met a lot of snakes up there in the hills, not all rattlers.
I'll be looking forward to your snake story, David..
Wonder if anyone else noticed it.
@DAVID, can you tell me how did you kill the snake? You are brave!
I used to be afraid of snake – even those that were non-poisonous. I finally realized that it was because I thought they were slimy. Then a friend told me that they were no slimier than alligator shoes. After that, I would pet boa conscrictors that I encountered.
When I visited a cousin in Virginia, I helped do a road cleanup and my cousin gave me a garter snake to play with. After playing with it it for a few minutes, I released it into the woods. Many snakes are useful: they control rodents (which I really hate) and insects.
I have 12 national Geographics left to read. After my roommate's teenage brother finishes reading them, I must decide what to do with them. I can't donate them to the library as I've torn out pictures to make collages with (I love Islamic and Far Eastern calligraphy as well as stain glass). I really hope someone in my building will show them to his kids.
I did keep one that had an awesome Hologram on its front cover and I saved an article for the president of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Miami. She wrote an amazing book titled "My Fifteen Grandmothers." She was born a Cuban Catholic – her family was very Catholic. Somehow, she was drawn to Judaism against her family's wishes. She converted and when her grandmother died, her mother gave her some of her grandmother's keepsakes: Judaica that had been handed down over the generations. It turned out her ancestors were secret Jews since the time of the Inquisition and were always in-married. They lived in a town in Spain by a river that also flowed into Portugal. I saw an article in the NG about this same river and clipped it out for her as she did extensive archival research in that region
Morning, Vagabonds!
Actually, it was just a little one. Don't know what it was. Maybe a foot or a foot and a half long. Pink, with these diamond shaped patterns on it. I was cleaning up the yard at the house I'm remodeling. The previous owners left their wooden fence in a huge pile of rotten lumber on the property line. I lifted a board and there it was, all curled up and taking a nap. But on closer inspection, I saw it was probably awake. I sent my wife back to the parsonage to get my ax. I have found over the years that an ax works best. Then I stayed there and watched it. I figured if it moved, I would hack it with my machete. When wife got back I severed its head from its body. Not a real exciting story, I'll admit. Would y'all like to hear the story of how I killed 13 snakes in my yard in one year? That was the same year as the alligator.
I appreciate Slim's story of how he doesn't bother them if they don't bother him. That's the way I feel when I'm out camping or whatever. But when they come into our territory, I consider them the invaders and I feel like home owners need to protect their property and their family members.
@Slim, Arye, & david:
When my children were young, I discovered a snake in the backyard where they were playing and killed it with a shovel – I can't recall what it looked like at this late date. This was here in South Florida (Broward County), which was still relatively undeveloped and I felt like a "pioneer woman."
Good Morning, Vagabonds,
I feel the same way about insects in my house…………………this is MY house, and when they get into MY house, I kill them. They have the whole outdoors to squiggle around in, but not in MY house!!!! Spiders especially!
We're heading up to Great Falls today…….blood platelet donation time for My Mtn. Man.
Bill, enjoy your last days in Tranquility! Your time at the lake sure sounds great!
It's warming up again, only got down to 29 this morning. :))
Good morning Vagabonds.
One more snake story: We took a small troop of boy scouts camping in Northern California at the Tishtang campground on the Hoopa Indian Reservation about 25 years ago. One of the boys found an 18" dead garter snake on the road and all of the boys had great fun "posing" it on the scoutmaster's truck as boys will do. When they had tired of their fun, I threw the snake into the ladie's toilet (It was basically an old fashioned outhouse with concrete walls – a deep hole in the ground with a seat over it.) to get rid of it.
The next morning I overheard a couple of women who had pulled into the campground during the night talking about the "6 foot rattlesnake in the toilet that had tried to jump up and bite her in the butt". My only question would be why was she shining her flashlight down into the pit? That would have been the only way she could have seen that poor little garter snake.
The visit was during moulting season for the rattlesnakes, and the danger of being bitten was very real.
Don't know for sure of course, but from your description I would guess that it was probably a harmless corn snake.
I am so glad the snake subject arose. Lots of stories. I need to learn the word that means "fear of snakes", I'm sure there is a "phobia" name for it.
>>>@ JanCin, re your Boy Scout excursion in Northern CA. I never heard of the Tishtang campground when I was working
at the veneer mill in Willow Creek, but I'm betting the camp is close to the Trinity River. The Hoopa reservation is just north of Willow Creek. That is beautiful country up there, and I wish I could be there again.
Here's a hint you can use when camping, and pass on to others, if you're bothered by yellowjackets.
>>>Yellowjackets are meat eaters, and I have found that they are partial to fish meat., so…. I was always camped beside a stream, either a river or a creek. They bweren't a problem on Shirttail Creek, but they were a big nuisance on the North Fork.
I was fishing one time, and had some fish smell on my hand.
I felt a sharp sting on the hand holding my fishing rod, and looked down to see a yellowjacket cutting a piece out of my hand between the thumb and forefinger which were wrapped around the handle. Little sucker drew blood. Only happened once, but it gives you an idea of how voracious they can be.
When I was camped on the river, I used empty tuna cans, the large size cans, half full of water at both, at both sides of my "kitchen & socializing" area. I'd hang a small piece of fish an inch or so above the water. Yellowjacket cuts a bit of fish to take to their nest, lets go and drops to fly away, only they land in the water. By the end of the day the water would be covered with dead bees.
And every morning when I came down from my sleeping area, all those dead yellowjackets would be gone.
But the "traps" would attract them, and they wouldn't be flying around making people nervous. Their sting was very painful.
P.S. Any "bowl" shaped container will do.
Here he is. I found him on Wikipedia. Exactly like this Southern Copperhead .
Wow@DAVID – That looks like a nasty critter

Fact check: Challenger calls All Aboard Florida âAltman's trains'
RACE: Florida Senate District 16 (Indian River County)
WHO: Monique Miller, a Melbourne account manager in the computer industry
OPPONENT: Incumbent Sen. Thad Altman, a Rockledge contractor, whom she faces in the Aug. 26 Republican primary
WHAT: Mailed fliers about "Thad's trains" without mentioning All Aboard Florida, a private transportation company proposing the controversial Miami-to-Orlando train plan that would cut nonstop through the Treasure Coast.
CLAIM: Pro-train special interests donated more than $120,000 to Altman.
FACT: A Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers analysis didn't find any contributions from All Aboard Florida, parent company Florida East Coast Industries or affiliates Fortress Investment Group, Parallel Infrastructure, Flagler Global or Flagler, a commercial real estate company, between 2000 and 2014.
Miller said she included contributions from companies that own rail and customers, such as the Coca Cola Company of Florida East Coast Industries, All Aboard's parent company.
CLAIM: When asked why she used the term "Thad's trains" in her flier, Miller said: "He is in favor of the trains. He's done everything to make the trains go through."
FACT: Altman said Tuesday he opposes the trains. Last month, he asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to issue an opinion on a lease between All Aboard Florida and the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority for right of way to connect Cocoa Beach and Orlando. Altman said that would be detrimental to his Brevard and Indian River constituents.
CLAIM: Altman voted for this year's $77 billion state budget, which included some of the $213 million to pay part of the construction for a transportation hub at the Orlando International Airport, where All Aboard plans to lease land.
FACT: All 40 senators, and 102 of 117 House members, who voted also approved the budget, including all eight Treasure Coast legislators. The transportation hub also will serve the general public, with space for ground transportation, rental cars and a people mover.
The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority will repay the state for money used for nonaviation purposes, such as the train station.
CLAIM: Altman supported $2.4 billion in federal stimulus money in 2009 to build a high-speed rail from Tampa to Orlando.
FACT: Besides supporting the trains, Altman and Sen. Arthenia Joyner, D-Tampa, filed an unsuccessful lawsuit against Gov. Rick Scott in 2011 for rejecting the money, alleging he overstepped his bounds. Despite similarities, the circumstances for All Aboard and the Tampa-to-Orlando rail were different: The latter wouldn't cut through residential communities along the Treasure Coast and didn't face opposition as All Aboard has.

Home away from home-cookin'
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Jennifer Waldroup, a senior elementary education major, begins her day by eating a pop tart and a Dr. Pepper. In between classes she gets some cookies and a cherry Pepsi from the machines for a snack. For lunch she has a Luncheable or a Hot Pocket and for dinner she treats herself to a frozen pizza.
Sounds like the typical college diet, right? Well, it very well may be, but dietitian and family and consumer science instructor, Kristina Adams said a few changes could be made to make Waldroup eat a little more healthy.
The main problem, Adams said, is that Waldroup completely omits fruits and vegetables from her diet, foods that are essential to college age students.
Adams said students should really make an effort to add fruits and vegetables to our diets. Too often we go for the meals that are easy to fix, easy to clean up and easy on our pocket books.
The foods college students are notorious for eating, Adams said, are high-fat, high calorie foods. Right now, eating those high fat foods isn't really hurting students too bad, but by eating these foods we fall into an eating habit that can be hurtful later in life. In college, students are very active and burn off most of the calories that they eat. However, most adults become less active as they get older and have a harder time burning off the calories, Adams said.
"When you become accustomed to a diet, it's very hard to change," Adams said.
The nutrient that Adams said students don't get enough of is calcium. "We need a lot of calcium," she said. "If we don't get enough (calcium) when we're younger, it can come back to haunt us when we get older.
Fruits, vegetables, dairy products like milk, cheese and yogurt and whole grains provide calcium and other nutrients that we need. Adams said if students ate more of these foods their overall performance would be better because they're healthier.
As for our typical college student, Waldroup, Adams said she could improve her breakfast meal by substituting her Pop-Tart with a couple of waffles. She could also incorporate fruits and vegetables into her diet by adding some fresh fruit or some yogurt. Nutri grain bars are also good for breakfast as long as they're "whole grain,"
Adams said. Adams said she could also trade in the Pop-Tart for slices of whole grain bread with some low sugar jam. The Dr. Pepper, Adams said, needs to be thrown out and replaced with some orange juice, water or milk. However, if she really needs the caffeine to get going, she can keep the Dr. Pepper or coffee in her diet. However, that's it for the day. The rest of her beverages should be water or juice.
For lunch, Adams said Waldroup needs to say adios to the Lunchable. Lunchables have little nutritional value, Adams said, but, the Hot Pockets (as long as they're Lean Pockets) provide more nutritional value.
A better meal, however, would be a sandwich. Any kind of lunch meat with whole grain bread is better, Adams said. To compliment the sandwich, she could have vegetables like celery or carrots, or an individual cup of applesauce or pudding. "Another quick lunch or dinner idea is canned soup," she said.
For dinner, Adams again would suggest adding more fruits and vegetables. Many times, students have more time to spend on dinner, so instead of the frozen pizza, Adams suggests making pasta and adding fresh vegetables. Most grocery stores sell flavored pastas. Adams suggests omiting the oil in the recipe and just mix the pasta and seasonings. Then add the fresh vegetables.
Another quick and healthy idea is to sautee vegetables and diced chicken or beef. Adams said students can buy package seasonings such as Teriyaki or stir-fry to mix in with their meat and vegetables to give it flavor.
During the day, Adams said she would substitute Waldroup's cookies and Cherry Pepsi with a more healthy bag of pretzels or animal crackers. Other snack ideas include apples, bananas and popcorn. Adams said frozen fruit is also a good snack. Because the fruit is frozen, the sugar is more concentrated so the fruit tastes sweeter.
Adams said when shopping students should look for foods that are low or reduced fat.
"(Reduced fat foods) have come a long way," Adams said.
Most reduced fat or low fat foods are just "watered down" and basically have the same flavor.
Adams also encouraged students to try different brands. "If one (brand) tastes bad, it doesn't mean they're all going to taste bad," she said. "Look for healthy and convenient foods. There are a lot of foods students would value from if they looked harder in stores."

Johanna M.wrote a review of KEEN Delancey MJ CNX Shoe - Women's on September 10, 2015
Cute but miserably uncomfortable
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I was looking for a cute, professional-looking pair of Keens to wear traveling, to customer meetings, be able to run thru airport, walk several blocks in the city, etc. These *looked* the part just fine. Only problem is they cut across the top of my foot (not a plump foot by any means!) and caused bad chaffing and blisters, even wearing pantyhose/very thin socks. Last trip I had to put bandaids across top of my foot--not very professional looking--to keep the chaffing down. After walking around town, I decide these were in fact hateful shoes.
I have many pairs of keen boots and sandals that have no chaffing or pinching--they are great. This is the first pair of keens that I have truly hated--but they look good!! They are already in donation pile.

just returned from the bank. had a chat with advisor there to deposit money into RESP. On the mortgage front Scotia has 5 year variable at 2.9% and 2 year closed at 2.6 %.
Here is a professor's view of what governments can do to make housing affordable:
Kershaw, who researches the financial challenges facing young families, said this would save a typical family about $50,000 before their children reach the age of six, which would make it easier for parents to save for a down payment and handle B.C.'s high housing prices or afford to pay their rent.
Kershaw said governments have few ways to influence the price of housing — which is usually determined by market forces — other than programs to fight homelessness and rental assistance to help low-income people.

[Via CMT] Update, May 10, 12:40 p.m. ET:
"We've contacted the Department of Finance (DoF) for comment. Banking sources have confirmed reports of the DoF contemplating amortization guideline changes for conventional mortgages. But there's no confirmation on what, if any, moves will be made. Assuming the DoF acts on this issue, an alternative possibility is that conventional borrowers be made to qualify at a 25-year amortization, but still be allowed to set payments at a longer amortization."
@bon jovi
You mean the variable is 2.6% and the closed is 2.9% I presume?
AM I missing something? I though the new rules brought amortizations down to 25 years already? Though that was the last round of changes. Is this not the case. You can still get 30 year mortgages?
Sure whish there was an edit button… Though should be thought, but upon re reading the article it states 30 year will be scrapped for mortgages above 20% DP. Mortgages with under 20% down payment are already restricted to 25 years.
>You can still get 30 year mortgages?
There are still available via mortgage brokers: I can't say how the rules are bend – but they appear to be.
1. @Damann
That's right, the previous rule change affected only mortgages requiring CMHC insurance (ie ones with 25yr loans to people with 20%+ DP
Looks like Garth might be right this time.. we'll see.
2. re: family re-unification. The rules are getting tougher:
"Ottawa said it is hiking the minimum necessary annual income for sponsors by 30 per cent, requiring sponsors to demonstrate they meet the new income threshold for three consecutive years instead of 12 months; and extending the sponsorship responsibility period to 20 years from 10 years."
"Instead of admonishing people for getting into debt, a new book by Laura McDonald and Susan Misner of Winnipeg offers a plethora of practical tips, not only on how to avoid debt, but how to get out of it."
love the timing.. two gorgeous blondes biting the debt bullet… ah yazz… step right up folks, we're serving austerity… but pump and dump bankers, realtors, and mainstream media tawking heads are off the hook…
checked with wifey it is 2.69 2 year closed.
Does anyone know where to find the City of Vancouver's development plans? For example, where does the city plan on increasing density, where might new transit routes be, and so on.
Thanks in advance.
You can still get very low rates right now, the only stipulation is if you want them insured with the government you need to qualify under the 5 year posted rate, which is being kept artificially high.
@Planning says:
"Does anyone know where to find the City of Vancouver's development plans? For example, where does the city plan on increasing density, where might new transit routes be, and so on."
Would this site be any help to you?…
Yay my brother sold his house. Almost one year on the market and one price reduction. His realtor said that is the only sale he's had all year… This is a guy that's been in the business for about 6 years.
On a side note, after a lowball offer a few months ago was declined, the buyers agent approached my brother privately and asked if he'd be interested in selling it privately to her clients… That seems highly highly unethical to me? Bro didn't even bother to tell his realtor , I certainly would have
It isn't Canadians naivete the problem, it's the plethora of idiots that work for inside the immigration department. They truely believe money comes free!
30 year mortgages are still technically available, even with CMHC insurance, via certain products with 25yr amortization that let borrowers skip a payment once annually. The skipped payment gets recapitalized, so if you execute this privilege as often as you're entitled you'd end up taking about 30 years to pay off that 25 year mortgage. And, on aggregate, the monthly payments are about 10% lower.
Here is another metric for grappling with the valuation disparity between Vancouver and the GTA:
Toronto has more than twice as many billionaires as Vancouver, and more than Calgary and Vancouver combined!
I have also update my earnings chart http://www.chpc.biz/earnings.html
Alberta sets another new record high in earnings and their unemployment dropped to 4.4%
"Kershaw said governments have few ways to influence the price of housing — which is usually determined by market forces"
What planet is this guy from? RE prices are as high as they are because government is deliberately inflating them. If there actually was a free market in housing prices would be lower than they are in the US – where the government is still intervening to support prices.
Oh, just noticed he's from UBC. Well that explains everything.
I'm liking Kenney more and more all the time. About frigging time we put an end to these freeloaders.
Maybe Flaherty will grow a pair and raise the minimum downpayment instead of just shaking a finger at the banks. Its hilarious to see all the whiners in the mortgage industry crying about how Flaherty is being "risky" by toying with the regulations. Here's a thought, you idiots, maybe he was being too risky by introducing 40 year zero down mortgages. None of you snakes complained at all then did you?
Kershaw said governments have few ways to influence the price of housing — which is usually determined by market forces — other than programs to fight homelessness and rental assistance to help low-income people.
Um….huh? I thought governments had many ways to influence the price of housing? Everything from urban planning to monetary policy?
This is an example of you missing information..
You are forgetting about the GIS. If you are in Canada for 10 years, of course you get less OAS…BUT it is topped of by more GIS.
The 40 year requirement means nothing…believe me 🙂
The one that matters is 10 years. Is it now 20? That is the BIG question.
The Feds just gave Genworth 50 billion to keep the party going and no one seemed to notice.
They can say anything they want but its clear where their priorities are.
Unemployment in BC down from 7% to 6.4%, and is now well below the national average of 7.2%
"Toronto has more than twice as many billionaires as Vancouver"
So per-capita Vancouver has more billionaires than Toronto?
also note:
Unemployment in Vancouver stayed at 6.8%, while BC dropped from 7% to 6.4%
New Listings 232
Price Changes 121
Sold Listings 32 …huh?
Well…..now *that's* a slow sales day. 18k party anyway.
"Toronto has more than twice as many billionaires as Vancouver"
So per-capita Vancouver has more billionaires than Toronto?
Residences in that table are obviously metro areas. Toronto has a bit more than twice the population of Vancouver (metro vs metro), so take it from there.
What I find interesting is how many billionaires there are in Quebec, which has far and away the highest taxes in Canada.
Well done, Paul.
Luv ya!
Something doesn't seem quite right… Yesterday's sales number (80) is also likely wrong. Most days PaulB's numbers match up exactly with RobChipman's numbers. But yesterday Rob reported 144 vs 80 for PaulB.
PaulB's numbers still very valuable though, as Rob does not report new listings, price changes or TI. Please keep posting!
Rob? Chipman?
Who cares?
Paul's numbers don't jive with Fish's either. But still a great day with a list/sales under 30%!
I am happy with that.
Whats better than coming to this blog?? Take a guess. hhahahahahahah! woo hoo! hope every one is enjoying their friday nite!!!!!
Could the 30 yr amort cap be avoided by first taking out a 20%+ downpayment mortgage, and then HELOC'ing 10% in a subsequent transaction?
The bank should be able to bulk insure this transacton? The 30 yr cap is dodged, everyone is happy?
Happy 18,000 Party!
Increases in the homeownership rate are associated with increases in unemployment. Home ownership creates "negative externalities" for the labour market as it impairs labour market mobility and NIMBYist homeowners block economic development that creates jobs.
fyi Rob Chipman's post also confirmed paulB's 32 sales.
To all the sellers and RE agents:
Stop throwing away money on interest, helocs and maintenance.
Get on with your life,
reduce your price !
#26 Feds gave Genworth rope to hang themselves with. $50 billion in insurance cap is not going to support the market. If Genworth's loans are "problematic" they will sink.
This is a totally different story from 2008, when it was $300 billion new insurance cap for CMHC (doubling the old limit) and a directive from the finance minister "to approve as many high ratio loans as possible."
Prices were in a free fall in 2008. Actions then were aimed at getting prices past the previous peak and rising until the Cons got their majority.
Actions now are intended to engineer a "soft landing". You will see more incremental measures if prices start to decline too rapidly in Toronto. But they don't care about Vancouver.
The face of personal bankruptcy in Canada is getting older and older.
"Actions now are intended to engineer a "soft landing". You will see more incremental measures if prices start to decline too rapidly in Toronto."
All indications are that the soft landing plan is working and will continue to work. A soft landing is not worth waiting for. Just buy now.
Look at Australia. The peak was three years ago and what have prices done? They have only declined 5%. What's the point in waiting years for a mere 5%. It is not true that all bubbles crash. Look at australia as an example. And what to australia and Vancouver have in common? Chinese buyers. Read about it in Bloomberg:
houses in the top 20 percent of the market in Australia's major cities are about 5 percent below a peak in April 2010, according to Brisbane-based researcher RP Data.
I might ad that the people who run this country are the smartest and most effective administrators in the world. They engineered a housing bubble to avoid the great recession. And how they are engineering a soft landing.
They made housing prices skyrocket while the financial world was collapsing. If they can do that, they can do anything. Don't bet against the GOC (Government of Canada).
Don't bet against the Canadian Govt? You have got to be kidding?

"When loans are guaranteed by the state and detached from market forces and personal responsibility," says Dylan Pahman in this week's Acton Commentary, "those institutions being paid with that loan money experience inflated demand as everyone and anyone now can go and wants to go college.

Federal Student Loans: A Problem of Subsidiarity
by Dylan Pahman
Ever see one of those used car ads that says, "Bad credit? Drive today!" The implication being that the dealer will happily arrange a loan regardless of the borrower's credit history. For years now, the federal government has been running a similar scheme: "Poor student? Go to college anyway!" While this campaign has had better intentions behind it, it is no less of a problem. In the field of higher education, the federal government has usurped the roles of families, private organizations, and markets, with negative moral and economic consequences.

My family were thrilled when the hamper of fruit was delivered to their new home
The hamper was excellent and arrived perfectly. Thank you Lilly's Florist for making my Mum and Dad's Christmas special. Have a Happy New Year.
The recipients said the fruit was of a much higher quality than usually available at venues in this area - thank you, it is always good to hear that the reality of the product was the same as promised
Service was excellent and the staff member was very helpful.
Received very positive feedback from the recipient
It was much larger than I expected which was a pleasant surprise! Excellent selection of fruit!
Well accepted
i was told the fruit was very fresh and not your ordinary store bought fruit.
I did think it was expensive but my partner enjoyed the fruit .
Very easy to talk to and arrange delivery
Recipient very happy with basket.
My daughter loved the fruit basket - this is a tremendously useful service as not everyone really needs more flowers or chocolates but everyone needs fruit!
Very well received.
The recipient was really impressed.
my sister made a comment after her operation that she felt spoilt and the fruit was fresh and beautifully displayed. Happy that I selected Lily's Florist and I would use again.
Great service and I thought it was great they cared about leaving the hamper at delivery address without anyone at home in case it was stolen.
Was confusing to start with and card did not have sender's name on it
My friend loved her gift23-Jul-2014Service rating : They made it easy for me to send the fruit basket to my friendProduct: Whilst I didn't see it, my friend loved it
Did not see it, but did not get any complaints :)
Was a bit upset that I was given the option of delivery date as being 27/4. I struck this option and it was not delivered until the following day. I chose your service specifically because I was given 27/4 for a delivery option. It was my dad's birthday and he was in hospital after recently suffering a stroke. I believe it was a lovely arrangement.
So sorry I used this rip off florist. I paid far too much. I may take it to current affair, because someone needs to stop this kind of business. Very very bad experience
The person who got them said they were lovely and beautiful.

The Oakland, MD Job Market
Shopping around for quality jobs in Oakland, MD? Oakland, MD has a population of roughly 2,000, derived from 2013 official government research. The average household take-home pay position of the city of Oakland, MD is approximately $36,000, according to government statistics citations from approximately 2013 Oakland's cost of living, as recent as 2013, was around 84 out of 100, which is lower than the national average.
An extra facet which can be really important becoming conscious of is the fact that, recently since 2014, the city of Oakland has a rate of unemployment close to 6.2%. That's higher than the nationwide average unemployment rate, as of the later part of 2015. This is certainly beneficial taking into account if you're going to be looking out for work opportunities around the city, living elsewhere and are searching in neighboring towns and cities, or if you are hoping for locations definitely worth relocating to, that also have outstanding job choices.

Hotel Transylvania (place)
this wiki
Hotel Transylvania is a luxurious hotel for monsters only appearing in Hotel Transylvania.
It appears again in the sequel, Hotel Transylvania 2, now accepting humans.
It was built by Dracula, who is also the hotel owner and manager. Hotel Transylvania is surrounded by a graveyard and a spooky forest.
The hotel is meant to be a safe place for monsters to get away from humans, and has been human-free since 1898. It is also the home of Dracula and his daughter Mavis. As of the second film, Jonathan and Dennis have started living here too.
The hotel itself is built like a castle. Located on the outskirts of Transylvania, it is surrounded by a dense, haunted forest, tall mountains, the land of the undead, and a moat full of piranhas. It is totally secluded from the rest of the world and inaccessible to humans. There is also a maze of secret tunnels under the castle.
The staff is mostly made up of zombies, witches, animated suits of armor, gargoyles, and spiders.
- Since it was opened, Hotel Transylvania would only be "human free" for 114 years.
- The interior of the hotel might be magical, given the enormous guests like Bigfoot and a giant spider, would never be able to get through conventional entrances.
- The room numbers seem jumbled. Mavis's room is 174 and is near the roof of the hotel. Bigfoot had 317 as his room.
- As of the second film, humans are now welcomed to hotel. Dracula put Johnny in charge of making the hotel more human-friendly. Such changes include televisions displaying the available activities. This would mean the hotel now uses electricity.
- Dennis, Mavis, Johnny, and Dracula have their own rooms.

General Comments
This system is extremely easy to use, fast and excellent value for money, the software is very easy to follow. and we found that getting a site up and running was done very fast. We have been running a site with easywebstore for over 6 months now and not once has their system failed us. The extra templates they have are brilliant, and we are expecting to take one for our site very soon indeed. Payments selections are all and more than we wanted. What we found a REAL Bonus was that you get SMS sent to you when you have a sale/Question/Problem on the site, so we knew when we have sales, it made it really super easy to mange, plus the payment setup for banking is just a breeze. All in All 10 out of 10.
