Checking in with… Heather TaylorTuesday, June 29th, 2010
When last I talked to Heather Taylor, the director of the documentary "Breaking Through the Clouds," it was still 2009, the doc was still named "Ragwing Derby," and Taylor was working hard to finish it up for a hoped-for screening at EAA AirVenture. Flash-forward to June 26, 2010: The documentary is finished, retitled "Breaking Through the Clouds," and was screened to a very appreciative audience at Hood College, Taylor's alma mater (and mine).
It was a fantastic experience on many levels. For 12 years, Taylor has been researching and weaving together the individual stories of the 20 women pilots who flew in the very first Women's Transcontinental Air Race in 1929. She found reams of fascinating newsreel footage and still photos and scored interviews with two of the participants, and she also shot numerous, beautiful air-to-air sequences of classic airplanes. For the premiere, she brought in not only her immediate family–her dad and brother are pilots–but also family members of some of the racers. It made for an inspiring evening. Sitting in a roomful of women pilots who had just finished the thirty-fourth annual Air Race Classic, this woman pilot was overwhelmed.
The Transcontinental Air Race made national news and attracted the likes of Amelia Earhart, Pancho Barnes, and Louise Thaden–who won first place in the heavier-aircraft category. At every stop, thousands and thousands of people turned out to see the pilots and airplanes, and they were feted with dinners and deluged by the media. Humorist Will Rogers was the one who pegged it the "Powderpuff Derby" after he spied one of the racers readying herself for a photo session.
Now Taylor is embarking on a long journey aimed at promoting and self-distributing the film. She's hopeful for this year's EAA AirVenture and has some other venues in the works. And I'm hopeful this wonderful film will find the broader audience it deserves and help to preserve the legacy of a group of outstanding pilots. I'll keep you posted on places you can see the documentary. In the meantime, see Heather's website.

I love, love, love the little community we've grown on our Facebook fan page. A week or two ago, I posted a question asking fans what their favorite Mexican recipes are that they've adapted for crock-pot cooking. Overwhelmed with the number of delicious suggestions, I decided to whip up a batch of slow-cooked frijoles as my final tribute to National Slow-Cooking Month. (Thanks to Tortilla fan Annette for giving us the basic cooking instructions she uses.)
The results were tremendous, so I recorded a video recipe to show you just how I did it. As we're preparing for a blizzard here in Chicago this week, I'm glad to have leftovers of this hearty, warm bean dish that is great as a snack, a side dish, or a main dish….

Rated 4 out of 5�by JA Exactly what I was looking for I wanted a user friendly running watch to track time, pace, and distance to train for races. This watch is just that, and simple - I like simple. My only complaint is the choice of colors....if the men's one wasn't so big on me, I might have gone with one of theirs! May 21, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by KT21 Simple yet complete running watch It has all the features I need without being overly complicated or needing to be hooked to a phone or computer. April 4, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by RunningMan Garmin and Dicks deliver I purchased this Garmin for my wife to inspire her to walk more, and since it records distance plus calories burned it was perfect for what we needed. I ordered it from Dick's and it arrived almost in the time it took me to walk to the mailbox. As always I got exactly what I ordered and wanted from Dick's. I have a long standing respect for Garmin equipment and I am sure it will do all it is made to do. I have owned Garmin products for several years and have never been disappointed in their performance or quality. They withstand the elements and abuse that I have inflicted on them without fail. I would highly recommend any Garmin product to potential customers and if you want it fast and at a great price go to Dick's Sporting Goods. I think you will find that you win when you deal with Dick's. March 10, 2016

Rated 5 out of 5�by tina13 Great, simple running watch I am a runner who just wants to track distance and pace, rather then heart rate and all the other little things.

"I have such a hard time flying commercial. I always want to—it's cheaper, it's easier—but there can be 300 perfectly lovely people at the gate and one crazy person who ruins it for everyone, so flying private is great because I don't have to worry. "
Cabin Electronics Manufacturers
Ten years ago, nobody even talked about lighting aircraft cabins with LEDs. Today, not an airplane rolls out of a completion center that isn't LED from nose to tail. The result: illumination that's brighter, lower maintenance, longer lasting and more economical.
In 2008, the idea of wireless cabin electronics was little more than a geek's dream, but five years later, you can transfer information wirelessly aboard many business jets; in fact, the lack of this feature can be a deal-breaker, whether you're buying an airplane or simply chartering one.
Movies, music and PowerPoint presentations from a tablet or smartphone can now be wirelessly streamed to the cabin entertainment system, allowing access by any passenger.
This year at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, Germany, meanwhile, electronics giants Panasonic and Thales were promoting their video eye-tracking and hand-gesture-control features. The technology is available now, according to Panasonic, and should start showing up on aircraft within two years.
As for connectivity, major satellite communication suppliers predict that in-flight data-transfer rates will be the equal of those of any home or office system, also within two years.
Inmarsat is teaming with Honeywell and Boeing to put its Global Xpress Aviation network into service as early as 2015 and is expecting "consistent, high-capacity broadband coverage" with data-transfer rates up to 50 mbps worldwide.
Viasat's Yonder Internet for business aviation, which had a maximum data-transfer rate of about 1 mbps a year ago, took a quantum jump to 4 mbps in May. And the company expects its new Exede Internet to provide global rates of 12 mbps or more as the Ka-band satellite system becomes fully operational and available to aviation users.
Clearly, buyers of new aircraft would be well advised to keep a sharp eye on developments in cabin electronics, because what you select in 2013 may be old technology by 2014. This list of cabin electronics suppliers is a good starting point to stay informed.

Oral Questions

Chilliwack—Fraser Canyon
Chuck Strahl Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, it is important to remember the history of this. When we approached Quebec and asked how it wanted to deal with this, it said to make the deadline December 31. That was the first thing, way earlier than our deadline. Then Quebec attached an engineer's certificate saying it could complete the project by December 31.
We have already said we will extend it to March 31. That is easily done because that is the federal program. More importantly, we have been working with Madame Courchesne and other ministers in the Quebec government in a respectful way. Understanding now the severity of the problem, we are working closely to find solutions so that we can be fair, reasonable and flexible.
Oral Questions
2:45 p.m.
Alexandra Mendes Brossard—La Prairie, QC
Mr. Speaker, this Minister of Finance is the biggest spender and has created the largest deficit in our history.
He is wasting millions of dollars on fake lakes and ministerial whims and billions of dollars on untendered fighter jets and he has the gall to say that the recession caused the deficit. He has the gall to want to make our seniors pay for the billions he has wasted.
Will the Minister of Finance finally admit that he has lost all control of this orgy of waste?
Oral Questions
2:45 p.m.
Jim Flaherty Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, it is just the opposite, of course. The stimulus spending was necessary and it was supported by Parliament. It was necessary to protect our country. The member's party supported it.
It was necessary to run a deficit. Why was it necessary to run a deficit? It was to protect our country and to protect jobs. In fact, we gained back all of the jobs lost during the recession as a result of the economic action plan.
I do not know why the member would complain about it two years later.
Oral Questions
2:45 p.m.
Alexandra Mendes Brossard—La Prairie, QC
Mr. Speaker, we did not vote for untendered contracts for fighter jets. This minister is living on a cloud surrounded by untendered fighter jets.
Canadians' personal debt is hitting record highs. National debt is exploding. Jobs are still hard to come by. And the Minister of Finance is authorizing the purchase of fighter jets without a single job guarantee?
How dare this joke of a minister applaud himself for a job well done. Does the Minister of Finance really want to duplicate the disaster he created in Ontario on a national scale?
Oral Questions
2:45 p.m.
Central Nova
Nova Scotia
Peter MacKay Minister of National Defence
Mr. Speaker, once again, the program to purchase the new jet fighters was begun by the party of the member opposite.
However, let us listen to what the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada had to say, just a week ago, about the ability to compete for the production of 3,000 to 5,000 aircraft internationally:
This amount represents more than $12 Billion in opportunities on the partner's fleet....
It goes on to encourage all members of the House to support the nearly 150,000 direct, indirect and induced jobs that it would generate.
I do not know why the members opposite in the Liberal Party have changed their position on support for this great initiative.
Government Spending
Oral Questions
2:45 p.m.
Scott Brison Kings—Hants, NS
Mr. Speaker, a new report from Global Insight tells us that Canada is actually falling behind the already weak U.S. economy. More Canadians are out of work and are struggling with record levels of personal debt.
The same finance minister who lectures Canadian families about risky spending has allowed costs for Conservative ministerial staff to explode by seven times the rate of inflation.
Why is he ballooning Conservative office budgets while leaving Canadian families out in the cold?
Government Spending
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Jim Flaherty Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, the member opposite must be the only person in Canada who thinks the American economy is doing better than the Canadian economy.
Let us talk about employment and unemployment. The United States unemployment rate is about 9.6%. The Canadian rate is less than 8%. That has not happened in Canadian history since 1975. That is because we had a good stimulus plan, which was supported by the member's party at a time of economic crisis in this country and which has worked.
The member should applaud the plan and applaud Canada's economic performance.
Government Spending
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Scott Brison Kings—Hants, NS
Mr. Speaker, unemployment in Canada is two points higher than when that finance minister took office.
The finance minister killed a Liberal bill to protect disabled pensioners. His latest move to cut low-income seniors benefits will put many seniors out on the streets.
We know that the minister is on the record in support of putting the homeless in jail. Is that why he is saying no to low-income seniors and disabled pensioners but yes to spending billions of their tax dollars on U.S.-style mega-prisons?
Government Spending
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Diane Finley Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development
Mr. Speaker, let us be very clear. No government has done more to help Canada's seniors, those who built our country, than this government.
Let us take a look at the Liberal record compared to ours.
We brought forward pension income splitting. They voted against it.
We brought forward increasing the age credit, not once but twice, to help seniors keep more money in their pockets. The Liberals voted against it.
We also brought forward an additional $10 million for the new horizons programs that help seniors stay active and contribute within their communities. What happened with the Liberals? They voted against it. Shame on them.
Citizenship and Immigration
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Tim Uppal Edmonton—Sherwood Park, AB
Mr. Speaker, queue jumpers are paying human smugglers to abuse Canada's immigration system. Our country is being treated like a doormat. Canadians are sick and tired of illegal human smuggling boats coming to our shores. Yet the Liberals are siding with the immigration industry rather than ordinary Canadians by refusing to get tough on human smuggling.
I ask the minister, why are the Liberals so out of touch with ordinary Canadians on human smuggling?
Citizenship and Immigration
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Calgary Southeast
Jason Kenney Minister of Citizenship
Mr. Speaker, we all know that Canadians expect this Parliament to take tough and reasonable action to stop human smuggling syndicates from targeting this country and treating it like a doormat. That is why we brought forward Bill C-49, a strong but reasonable effort to stop the smuggling syndicates from targeting Canada.
The Liberals pretended they might be in favour of these measures prior to this week's byelections. However, as soon as those elections were behind them, they revealed their opposition to the crackdown on human smuggling and queue jumping. That is an irresponsible position.
We stand with the Canadian people and against the smugglers trying to—

Release of Documents by WikiLeaks
Oral Questions
December 1st, 2010 / 2:50 p.m.
Paul Dewar Ottawa Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister's former chief of staff is advocating targeted assassination of a civilian, in reaction to the leak of U.S. documents.
These comments are quickly becoming an international embarrassment.
Mr. Flanagan is known as the ideological mentor of the Prime Minister. He concocted many key Conservative policies and is a talking head of the Conservatives.
Will the government unequivocally condemn Mr. Flanagan and his reckless comments?
Release of Documents by WikiLeaks
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Flanagan speaks only for himself. He does not speak for the government. He is not an adviser to the Prime Minister and has not been for many years. I certainly do not share his views.
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Jack Harris St. John's East, NL
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Foreign Affairs has been refusing to acknowledge the facts on child detainees. Despite the claim of changes in 2007, it is clear that the government only stopped handing children over to the NDS in Afghanistan in March 2010. We know it is not just those who kill or attack Canadians who are detained in Afghanistan.
When will the government tell the truth? When will the minister tell the House and all Canadians how many children were handed over to the NDS and what happened to them? When will the minister give us the straight answers Canadians deserve on child detainees?

this is my second post here and also long time since the last one!
I drink a lot of tea. green mostly (recently). with honey (a one full spoon for one big cup of tea).
and I love it!
and becouse I drink it so much everyday, poeple around have of course noticed it and there have been some friends that say:
- that the tea is bad for the liver.
- that a couple (from 2,3 - 7, it depends) spoons of honey added to tea, each day isn't healthy
- that adding honey to a still hot tea kills all the good stuff in the honey becouse of the temperature.
off course i drink other types of tea. fruit ones, earl grey etc.
my question is how to make tea correctly and is anything that's mentioned above truth? do I drink too much tea or it does'nt matters? Any tips about tea drinking?
thank you for all the comments and tips.
it would be very nice if anybody helps me at this one.

Deftones -- Boca Raton, FL -- May 22nd, 2011
So I go there around 4 with a couple of friends(all whom I introduced Deftones to) and while they got in line, I had other plans. Previously I got ahold of Dillinger's drummer's e-mail and set up a drum lesson at 4, so while my friends got in line, I caught up with him and we went back stage. While backstage I met most of Dillinger, including Greg, who thought I came to interview him, but regardless was a really chill dude. The lesson was awesome, I learned a lot and we discussed other things while there including band life, being a musician, advise on getting "out there", this tour, and etc. We spent a good hour and a half playing drums and chilling and then eventually he had to go and I returned to line with my friends. The doors were supposed to open at 6 so we had a good 30 minutes left so we hung out there and the moment the doors open I ran and nailed a spot on the rail right in front of the stage.
Around 7 the first band came up, an indie band called Le Butcherettes(or some shit like that). The ticket said the show starts at 7:30 so maybe thats why the place was so empty, but regardless the band was okay. I mean they had the energy and everything, so I give them respect for that, but they just weren't my type of music. So I dealt with 30 minutes of them playing and soon they left.
I then had to deal with 15 minutes of anticipating the 2nd most anticipated band of the night for me, Dillinger Escape Plan. Soon they came on and as they went to their instruments the drummer pointed to me and gave me a thumbs up. Then they began the beginning of Farewell, Mona Lisa, right before the vocals came in, Greg casually walked up to the guy next to me grabbed his head and started the song. Thats just when all hell broke loose. Words cannot describe how insane their show it, you just have to experience it. The highlight of their show was Greg coming into the pit and having about 30 people on him singing along to Sunshine the Werewolf, absolutely insane.
Their set:
Farwell, Mona Lisa
Milk Lizard
Panasonic Youth
Chinese Whispers
Room Full of Eyes
Gold Teeth On A Bum
Black Bubblegum
Sunshine the Werewolf
43% Burnt
Completely worn out from the insanity that was them, I realized that the main attraction had yet to come. Deftones is my favorite band and this was my second time seeing them(I'm considering reviewing the first time later) and I swear, every time I see them, they get better. I might get hate for this, but to me, Deftones is the best live band. The moment they got on stage the energy was absorbed from the band. I just couldnt stop moving and singing along even when I was so close to passing out. The whole band looked happy, except Stephan who was obviously high as fuck(At a certain point he started playing Hexagrams to early or at the wrong point of the setlist, I'm not sure which, but the whole band looked at him like wtf? and then laughed to each other and went along and played the song. Possibly one of the best concert moments ever) but it didn't matter because he still did his job perfectly. Chino seemed so happy and energetic, it was awesome. They were great and Chino seemed to come against the rail to sing with the people around me and me, so that just made everything better. It was a great show and one of the best, if not THE BEST I have been too. Nothing like seeing your favorite band live. Regardless though, even if you don't like them that much if you can see them, do it, you won't regret it
Their Set:
Diamond Eyes
Rocket Skates
Engine No. 9
Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)
My Own Summer (Shove It)
Digital Bath
Bloody Cape
You've Seen The Butcher

The Prime Minister has just Clarified that he has no problem with a Federal Europe so long as it ONLY effects and contains member States which are using the Euro Currency. He says that as someone who never wants to join the Euro it is important to note that those inside must make their own decision, and its not Englands place to stand against such a decision if all States ratify a solid single Union under Germany.
I Dissagree...I want to see the Euro currency fail, all powers concerning immigration and the Justice System repatriated, and a European Union Treaty drawn up which forbids the formation of a Federalized Europe beyond what we all ready have.
I believe that its in Englands interest that the Euro dissapears, but that its not in our interest to see a unified Federation on the continent that could turn against us. I mean...if anything did go wrong, and all the seventeen Euro Zone Countries joined in assent against England...that would be one hell of a Germanic force to be wrestled with...prior to war the FR would be more then half the continent....
Just to lighten the thread...these are the funniest points in televised PMQs
...and we're back in Westminster
Welldone cranfield foods for some big investments...will the PM stop the Trading Standards from blocking trade with the Orient please
He will arrange meetings to sort this problem out.
The Opposition accuses the Treasury of telling porkies over Rail fares...they promised an increase of no more then 1% above inflation...turns out the rial companies themselves have pushed fares to hit 11%
The power for them to do that was granted by the last labour Government says the Prime Minister pointedly
The opposition points out that whilst they introduced that means, they also closed the means off during their administration, thus if it exists, its by reintroduction from the present Government
Both ministers tell each other that they are wrong on their facts in this case
Winter Fuel is now cut for the elderly. ...The PM says he hasnt actually done that...yet
Nursing care in England is high, but thats no need to brush the problems with it under the carpet.
The Opposition finally brings up that bit of land beyond Hadrians Wall, declaring that the United Kingdom is better in Union then as two distinct Soverignties. He argues that rather then backing a dominance issue historically, perhaps the Government should stress the positives of the Union to Scotland itself, and show that she is better off within the Union for her own prosperity, regardless of English Rule.
"Frankly, I am sad that we are even having this debate, as I support the United Kingdom so strongly" replied the Prime Minister.
However, the conservatives feel that Scotland must be made aware of the legality of Independance, in otherwords, she must be made to realize that until she HAS independance, she is under British Rule...which means any Push for Freedom must be initiated by England NOT Scotland. At present, all she may do is ask please
Can the Government make false marriage a criminal offense.
Nottingham Police force are struggling with the cuts...can he please help release a special fund for them.
There has been an ammendment to the law following a specific murder case.
A scot Minister explains that the Nationals were ellected to power promising that the referendum would happen in the second half of their term. If they do it too soon they will have broken that vow. Naturally, they did not have the legal right to make such a promise in the first place
Care in crisis campaign from age concern is launched.
A postmaster has worked in his job for over 60 years...and is still going strong, aint that great? ...but cuts are making his job very hard. Shame!
How come the Deputy Prime Minister says that England will sign the European Treaty for federalization
The Prime Minister, basically says, he can say what he wants, but he's only the deputy
The deputy sitting next to him blushes slightly
At 23.09 MY OWN MINISTER FOR PARLIMENT, The Fantastic Conservative, The Right Honourable, Andrew Jones, speaks out against preditory capitalism. Andrew Jones and I were in correspondance over the winter of 2010 about part-buy/part-rent, and about the Benefits issues associated with that, and with Harrogate Borough Council who I was at war with during the time for several unrelated reasons. He was a real help
Women and cuts...related to industry. In this case, the Prime Minister will consider it.
Today marks the tenth annerversary of the founding of Guantanamo Bay "A dispikable institution" declares a minister. Apparently, one British National is STILL there
The Government responce was that they were helping the Obama Administration in the attempt to close the illegal prison camp, and that they are also trying to show they didnt conspire in any torture, through more public enquiries. Apparently that was all the Americans fault and if you buy that, you'll buy anything...we all know that Blair did whatever was asked of him under the Bush administration, and we also know he just loved to befriend evil dictators...so its not a vast leap to accuse his government of torturing terrorists is it
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman"
more industry contracts.
When will we see caps on the wages of the idiots who sit at the top of multinational coorperations or financial institutions and do sweet FA
The government is trying to deal with this, and the welfare state, and NHS reform...its working against 13 years of shyte whilst the opposition rulled.
Israel has said it will go ahead with its new settlement. When will the British Government tell her off for being mean to the Palestinians...a la South Africa during aparthide and ethnic cleansing.
We Love Israel, We think she is doing wrong, but WTF do you expect us to do about it
FFS...can the Government congratulate the ever expanding cadet force in schools. NO...the Government should ban all pom-poms from school premises with imediate effect Can they get the reserve forces and the Cadets to go into deprived areas of the country and set up military accademies in the free school system. (bad idea...VERY bad idea)
but the PM thinks its a "Very, Very good idea"
The last question is shocking. Mrs S has been made redundant, and has had to go into rented accomodation on benefits. as they have just reformed the benefits they have cut hers by half.
Which does the Prime Minister think is most likely...that the landlord will reduce her rent by 50% or that she will be made homeless this year....

Thanks Mike...You too

Pink Paislee Core Impressions
April 10, 2013 by Ellen
Filed under Core Blog, Pink Paislee, Queen & Co.
Any old but goodie!
Designer Melissa Oliveria created this layout for us today. Banners never get old, do they?
The cupcake banner was created by embossing and sanding several 1″ strips of Core Essentials cardstock, then trimming a "v" shape at one end of each strip. A punched, sanded Whitewash border was added to each flag before adhering to the layout using foam dots. The base is Pink Paislee Core Impressions…just a little sanding goes a long way!
And I just heard that the NEW Design Team is 99.99% finalized. So stay tuned for the announcement!!!!!!!!!!!

- Subjects:Classroom Management, Teacher Tips and Strategies
Behind the Scenes, Part 1 — Finding a Topic
Are you interested in creating movies with your students, but not sure where to begin? Do you feel as though you don't have time to create movies with all the curriculum and standards that you need to cover? Take a look at this first post in a series about filmmaking with students. In this series, I will walk you through the process of creating a movie with your class so you feel confident in creating student films.
What Is a Student-Created Movie?
A student-created movie is just that: a movie created by students for students. The term "movie" according to Wikipedia is "a story conveyed with moving images." When I start working with my students in the beginning of the year, we talk about this term. They soon learn that the Disney films they watch are movies, but so are the short clips they frequently see at school in lessons or on the Internet. Once they have a better understanding that a movie could be a few-second clip or a two-hour story, they are ready to get started creating their own.
Examples of Student-Created Movies
My young students have created films of all different types and lengths, from simple Movie Maker endangered animal videos to a ten-minute animated movie about U.S. symbols and landmarks. (See a segment.) Movies can range from something simple, completed in a class period, to a project that takes days or weeks to complete.
Take a look at this wide selection of resources and student-created film examples to assist you and your students in choosing the topic for your movie.
iVIE Videos: Click "iVIE Videos" at the top and select a year to view amazing award-winning student videos for grades K–12. (Two of my students' videos are posted here!)
Digital Storytelling Initiative: Take a look at "My Potato Sory."
Video in the Classroom.com: My students love the City Mouse and Country Mouse video.
TeacherTube: TeacherTube is a great place to find educational films that are usually not blocked by security measures.
Also, take a look at some of our Top Teacher bloggers' posts and Web sites for more fantastic video examples and resources.
For more on this topic, see my other posts: "Making Movies With Students: Stage 1, Stage 2, Filming, and Stage 3, Editing and Publishing"; "Clifford's Preposition Mystery"; and "Filming — Stop Motion to Bring Curriculum to Life."
Beth's class videos and her post "Movie-Making in the Classroom" post are both worth checking out.
See Angela's class videos, video podcast resources, and "Kids Teaching Kids: Filming Skills of Today for Kids of Tomorrow."
Read "Kids, the Ken Burns Effect, and American Slavery — Students Become Documentarians" and "Flip Movies Easy Enough for a 1st Grader to Complete."
How to Select a Topic
When selecting a topic for a class- or student-created film, I always look at two areas: my grade level standards and my students' areas of need. From there we are able to easily select a relevant topic. Then we use the time making the video to learn the skill or concept and not just to show what we learned after. This is a key part that teachers often overlook. Many teachers think about creating a multimedia project after learning a concept to show what they learned. Although this is appropriate at times, creating projects this way limits students' learning while consuming more class time. In other words, use the movie as the learning activity and not just the end result.
Look at Your Standards
Many teachers wonder how they can possibly fit their entire curriculum in along with making a movie. My answer is to use the movie to teach your curriculum and standards. For example, my kindergarten students are creating a stop motion movie about plants. Our science standards in kindergarten include naming the parts of the plants, identifying the needs of plants, and identifying and understanding the changes of seasons. With this one movie my students are doing in-depth studies encompassing many standards, including reading and writing, while they are creating this film. Click here to see a quick clip of our movie.
Look at the Needs of Your Students
According to our online assessment from NWEA, called MAP, the students in my class needed to grow more in vocabulary and word development. After looking at the skills in that area, as well as classroom assessments and observations, we determined that the students needed to learn contractions. I have found in the past that the concept of contractions is tricky to teach. By having them create a short stop motion video on a contraction, they were able to get hands-on practice and better understand the concept. They have now become contraction experts. Take a look at one example below. Notice how the students decided to have the letter "a" drop since the apostrophe was taking its place. I thought this was a highly effective animation that shows a lot of higher level thinking.
Get Your Students Involved in Choosing a Topic
Don't forget about this important piece in your movie. Your students are highly capable of evaluating the curriculum for themselves to assist with deciding on a relevant topic.
I hope this first post of Behind the Scenes gives you some understanding of student created movies and helps you to gather your ideas. The next post in this series will discuss evaluating videos and creating a rubric with your students. So, as you watch the student video examples make note of what you saw that you liked and what you think could have been improved. Remember to check back next week!
Amanda, That's wonderful! I love to hear the amazing things going on. The students learn so much from doing projects like yours. Are you going to post your video anywhere? If so coment back with a link! Smiles, Megan
I teach 4th grade in Wyoming and we are just wrapping up our movies. The students picked three Wyoming landmarks for our Wyoming history and completed the research about those areas and recorded their movies using Photobooth and Keynote. They turned out great and the students learned so much about our state and technology!

Professional Laboratory and Research Services Undercover Investigation
Update: In a landmark move, a North Carolina grand jury indicted four individuals who worked at PLRS, including a supervisor, on 14 felony cruelty-to-animals charges. This case marked the first time in U.S. history that laboratory workers faced felony cruelty charges for their abuse and neglect of animals in a laboratory. The first prosecution stemmed from PETA's very first undercover investigation, the groundbreaking 1981 Silver Spring monkeys case.
For nine months, a PETA investigator worked undercover inside the filthy, deafeningly loud kennels of PLRS. Inconspicuously tucked away in rural North Carolina, PLRS took money from huge pharmaceutical companies to test insecticides and other chemicals used in companion-animal products. Bayer, Eli Lilly, Novartis, Schering-Plough (now Merck), Sergeant's, Wellmark, and Merial, the maker of Frontline flea and tick products, are some of the corporations that have paid PLRS to force-feed experimental compounds to dogs and cats and smear chemicals onto the animals' skin.
During this investigation, PETA's investigator found that toxicity tests were just part of what the animals endured. Laboratory workers appeared to despise the animals in their care—they yelled and cursed at cowering dogs and cats, calling them "asshole," "motherfuckers," and "bitch"; used pressure hoses to spray water (as well as bleach and other harsh chemicals) on them; and dragged dogs who were too frightened to walk through the facility.
Video evidence shows that terrified cats were pulled from cages by the scruff of the neck while workers screamed in their faces and that a cat was viciously slammed into the metal door of a cage. One worker grabbed a cat and pushed him against a chain-link fence. When the cat fearfully clutched at the fencing with his claws, the worker jerked him off the fencing, saying that she hoped that the cat's nails had been ripped out.
Dogs at PLRS spent years in cages, either to be used repeatedly in tests or to be kept infested with worms for some future study. They are just like the dogs we share our homes with, but they lived day in and day out without exercise or enrichment, companionship, a scratch behind the ears, or even a kind word from the only people they ever saw.
Many dogs had raw, oozing sores from being forced to live constantly on wet concrete, often in pools of their own urine and waste. Workers didn't even move the dogs when they pressure-sprayed the runs, frightening the animals; soaking them with water, bleach, and soap; and exposing already painful sores to harsh, irritating chemicals.
PLRS didn't bother to keep a veterinarian on staff. Instead, it chose to bring its primary veterinarian in for only one hour most weeks. Animals endured bloody feces, worm infestations, oozing sores, abscessed teeth, hematomas, and pus- and blood-filled infections without receiving adequate veterinary examinations and treatment. Sometimes, the conditions were ineffectively handled by workers who had no credentials or veterinary training.
After a supervisor gave one dog an anesthetic that was past its expiration date (and likely administered too little of it), the supervisor pulled out one of the animal's teeth with a pair of pliers. The dog trembled and twitched in apparent pain, and the supervisor continued with the procedure despite the dog's obvious reaction. Workers repeatedly cut into one dog's tender, blood-filled ear, draining blood and pus but never treating the underlying cause of the dog's suffering and apparently causing the ear to become infected.
Dogs were intentionally subjected to worm infestations for tests, but conditions were so sloppy that dogs who weren't supposed to be part of the study also became infested and were then left untreated.
In one test commissioned by a corporation whose products are sold in grocery stores and drugstores nationwide, a chemical was applied to the necks of 57 cats. The cats immediately suffered seizures, foamed at the mouth, lost vision, and bled from their noses. Despite this, the substance was put on the cats a second time the very same day.
To cut costs, PLRS killed nearly 100 cats, rabbits, and dogs. The company had decided that some of these animals' six daily cups of food were too expensive.
Federal oversight of horrendous facilities such as PLRS is virtually non-existent. In preparation for a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) inspector's annual visit, which PLRS staff knew to expect in June or July, PLRS employees painted over the rusty surfaces that the USDA had warned them about the previous year and reported that ailing animals had conditions that might merit veterinary care—which the facility's attending veterinarian reportedly advised she would not provide—so that PLRS staff would be "covered" from blame should the inspector inquire about the animals' condition. The inspector's 2010 visit to PLRS, which housed approximately 400 animals at the time, lasted two hours and 15 minutes.
Just one week after PETA released the results of its shocking undercover investigation of PLRS and filed a complaint with the USDA—which resulted in citations against PLRS for dozens of violations of federal animal welfare laws—the North Carolina–based contract animal testing facility surrendered nearly 200 dogs and more than 50 cats and shut its doors. This is a monumental victory and the second time in U.S. history that a laboratory has been forced to surrender animals and close under pressure on the heels of a PETA investigation and while facing a formal USDA investigation. The first time was PETA's landmark Silver Spring monkeys case.

I sure know Karma is a wonderful thing and They WILL GET Their's they are nothing but scum who obviously have no souls. This Video has my blood boiling Something should be done all they get is a slap on the wrist a Felony if they can do this to Animals can you imagine what sort of humans they are so cold who know's they could have their own Children that they are abusing Will something be done then. If it takes them abusing their own kind then i sure hope they get life in prison.
This is distgusting, how can anyone treat animals like that?!! I hope these workers are locked up!
Do any of you that feel saddened and are sickened by this behavior; do you share this video with others and do you try NOT to purchase these products? How bad can you feel if you contribute to the abuse. SAVE THESE ANIMALS, It is going to take all of us a long time, so get started if you have not already. -Love Me <3
How can anyone do this to an animal? This is horrible. Those poor dogs, cats and bunnies. Shame on them for doing this. The cat that was shown at the very end made me want to reach out to him, hold him to help him. The other cat that the witch wanted to rip out the cats claws, i wish the cat would have scratched her eyes out. What IS WRONG with people? Did that "tester witch" ever get convicted of anything?
There is no excuse what so ever for this! Whats a matter with people??
I am chocked of all thos pictures I see of cruelty, this is outrageous, I feel sad,
hoping those people who treat badly animals will have to go to court to be judged very severly. Suffering is the same for human being and animals, the law should be the same for humans and animals, full life in prison for those who torture and kill animals.
I rescued a coonhound that came from some lad study hospital in New York.I know this from the tatoo in her ear.This poor coonhound after rescuing her 4 years ago still has issues, and I can not find out what they really did to her.The only thing I was told was she was used for tube study of her stomach.I think there is more to this story.
I have rescued many types of animals for well over 40 year and also taken animals away from people,which was quit dangerous,but what I saw when I worked in a lab hoping to become a vet assistant was horrifying.
I worked at Charles River labs in Baltimore and they did stop using dogs , and rabbits,but the condition I saw the rats and monkeys in horrified me.I was friends with a military man that worked with OSHA.I went to him on several occations about the condition some of these poor animals were in after the young interns did there surgery and testing on.My last complaint was when after sergery on 7 or 10 rats they left them to bleed to death.There was some people who would sneak out the cocain rats & sick monkeys but they never had them more than a couple of years before they died at young ages.I use to hope to god after I left that some PETA workers would find a way to get in and see what they do to the mice,monkeys,rats, and birds there.It is so sad that I never finished study for vet jobs.
they have no heart. each time that read, Love more animals.
Wow. THis is so meesed up. I feel really angry at theese people. How could they do that? I hope they feel extra salty that they got shut down.
My husband and I adopted one of the cats that came from this facility. Jerry has turned out to be one of the sweetest cats I have ever had the privilege of owning! He gets along great with my other cats and loves to give head-butts in the way of a greeting. Despite the cruelty he was subjected to, Jerry shows no signs of aggression or withdrawal. He loves hanging out with the other cats or with me and usually sleeps next to my head at night. His favorite toy is a long cloth tail teaser, which he will drag around with him if no one is available to play with him.
I am horrified! I know this goes on and I feel so overwhelmed by the cruelty that these people..I don't think you can even call them people..do to animals. It makes me sick in my heart to see this happening.
what kind of people can live with the guilt… this just makes me sick,i cant say anymore as i feel livid…
Its a double whammy here. First it's the unnecessary animal testing, which in itself is cruel and inhumane. Then, add to that the morons who are being mean and abusive to animals who are already suffering unnecessarily. Being a woman, I am mortified when I hear that women are being cruel to animals. In addition to closing the facility, surrendering the animals, I pray there was jail time for individuals.
The more people get involved putting an end to animal cruelty and putting the pressure on Congress to change things ASAP! We will all sleep better at night knowing that innocent animals are safe from cruelty and danger.
That is just sick. Those poor beautiful animals getting hurt. The word needs to be spread. Good job on stoping this place for its cruelty, let's keep shoring others down!
I cannot believe that this is happening in the world. This people dont deserve to live. Im so glad peta is helping those animals they are just like babies!! they are so loyal.
Zac, You know what, they are not human. I wish I could reach thru this monitor and and remove every animal then play a little one on one with these big tough workers get a paycheck for torture. Every animal in there needs to be euthanized for no reason other than to end there suffering. Excuse me while I go and throw up.
many of the so called required tests being done are NOT required nor do they relate in ANY way to what they are supposed to be testing for. $16 BILLION TAX PAYER $$ ARE SPENT ON THIS
I'm currently in Kosovo and am writing a paper on ethical treatment of animals in research. This article broke my heart to read and will defintely help to give the readers a better idea how animals are treated in research facilities. I also will ensure any products I use will not be tested on animals.
This is just to upsetting my heart broke when the cat was hurting when staff member trying to get its nails ripped out. What kind of humans are these people, i pray to god they too suffer in their lives and may that be soon. I fully give my support and will be buying products that are not tested on animals and ingredients free. I really pray more and more people join PETA. Good work PETA for getting this out. I am definitely going to spread the word try to make people aware of this.
people are sick and blind, i didnt even watch the video, i cant see all these cruelty anymore. lets stop to abuse animals!!!!!!!!!
These people are all discutingg….you dont treat an animal like that..how can they even sleep at night knowing that animals are sick and dying and suffering because of the…all of them are murderes….
This is sooo disgusting I could not finish watching it. This is so not what a animal research facility is supposed to be like..as a vet tech myself I know that proper protocol is to actually tend to the needs and comfort of the animals and eliminate any kind of stress on the animals. Having happy animals is the only way to get good results, a stressed and miserable animal will alter the results immensely. I'm shocked, these people are dangerous; if they could hurt poor innocent animals imagine what they could do to other human beings. I'm so glad they were shut down as should any facility that is even remotely like this.
To all: the very best thing we can ALL do is to lobby for legistlation and support groups like PETA to END this kind of usless, painful and inhumane abuse. IF every single person that got upset at seeing these crimes and the pain and suffering these animals endure would THEN never ever use products tested on animals, never use any kind of medication or anything to do with torture of animals so humans can feel better, smell better, look better….IF ALL US SPEND THE TIME ON EDUCATIONG FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND ANYONE THAT WILL LISTEN…WELL only then will things change. Thanks to the courage of undercover agents being able to do the work so things can change. In spite of the sights you have had to see and ignore for change. SPEAK UP PEOPLE, it is the only way. THANKS TO ALL.
If I was undercover I would of used the hose on the worker intill their skin was raw. How do they do it? I would break down in tears. That poor cat at the end was shaking in the corner of its cage because it was sprayed with bleach!!! People are sick
so sad. I couldnt finish this video. These people will get their punishment when they meet their maker
My prayers for the animals who endured such torture and prayers for the souls of the criminals acts, they need to pay and repent for their sins. THe criminals should endure the crime they inflicted. Thank you PETA for stopping this, and your victory. And please help to create laws that protect these living beings.
God help these poor things… No matter how much I needed some medicine, I'd never take it if it was tested on animals…
Those people should all be given the death penalty. How can people be that cruel to animals and think that it is okay. Worthless pieces of garbage, it is about time that the state of North Carolina stepped up and actually did something about this place.
OH MY GOD, this was horrible ! I couldn't watch the whole thing, barely even watched half of the video. It makes me feel like I'm going to cry knowing there's not a whole lot I can do sitting here, in CANADA while those animals are in NC being treated that way.
I read a post I certainly agree with, lock those people in a cage, test them, treat them the same way and see how they feel! AT LEAST they have the ABILITY to s p e a k. Animals are so misunderstood 🙁
My prayers are with these animals <3
Shes pulling the cats nails out? Thats disgusting. And so cruel. I couldn't finish it. It made me so angry and upset.
I couldn't finish the video, I literally broke down in tears.
Sat next to my darling cat and she reached out with her paws to me as I cried – how could anyone hurt a being so kind, and loyal like my cat is to me?
Absolutely breaks my hear that there are such vile b*st*rds in this world.
These sick, evil people deserve to suffer so much pain, I do believe they will in their next "lives".
I cannot wait for the day animals are treated as equals, or (I hate to say it) humans wipe ourselves out and hopefully that will teach us.
I believe humans have become so greedy and unfeeling that we will bring about our own destruction. It seems only 10% of us actually live and think in an advanced and just way – the way ALL should be.
My absolute sincerest prayers, love and also apologies to all animals for letting this happen to them <3
Sleep well little angels <3
If they do not like the animals then why bloody hell do they work with them?!?! I simply cannot understand why people would chose this as a job even! Just simply sick! Imagine how they would feel if those people were put through those conditions, no one deserves that kind of life. If i had a chance to adopt or re-home these animals, then i would spoil them like the queens Corgi!!! (just as long as they'd e safe to touch of coarse), Absolutely disgusting!
I will be with you PETA!!!
This is outrageous and very disgusting! I cried while watching this. People have no right to treat these animals this way!! Videos like these make me wish I could adopt every single one of em in there and save them from that place. Imagine what the undercover PETA investigator had to tolerate. I'm sure his heart was breaking just as badly if not, more than ours did when we watched this video 🙁 I don't know how man can be this cruel sometimes, people just don't have a heart.
Wonderful job PETA! There is a special place in Heaven that GOD holds for each of you and a special place in Hell for animal abusers like these. God bless you all and thank you for everything you do every day!
I couldnt even watch the whole video. I'm not understanding how one person could be so cruel to animals when all they want is love. I hope that every single one of these employes have some kind of punishment. These people are disgusting and i wonder if they would like it done to them.
Why does so mean people works with animals? 🙁 why, why, why?
dont know how a human can sit up here and say that tha's normal for those animals to be in that condition their in. How can they have no heart at all. I was really crying while i watched that because those animals desierve better than the condistion and treatment that tose people were puttingthem through
I don't understand how people can even imagine doing that to any animal! How do they live every day knowing they torture animals! Those animals are being tortured in experiments just for us and they still abuse them! I hate animal testing! It makes me sick that someone can live to treat an animal like that, I don't even understand how they can do it, it's horroble, cruel and not needed!

Topic: Anyone have a handle on a generic CSV parser?
Hey all,
I have a lot of CSV importing to do. And, the CSV data is in different formats!
So, I'd like to either find (preferable) or build (acceptable) a generic CSV parser. The idea would be that the CSV parser would need to support the following items:
, separated
| separated
\t (tab) separated
with the data inside and outside quotes. Ideally, it will read a string or a file with CSV data in it, and return an array of hashes with the header row as the attributes.
I've seen some stuff out there, but nothing that looks like it will handle multiple different types of separators on the fly.
Anyone have any suggestions, good or otherwise, before I spend the next 3 days writing a CSV parser?

The New Pictorialism II
Challenge #17 in the Great Movements in Photography series. Hosted by Mark Scott Abeln.
Challenge has finished
In the 19th century, photographers struggled to be seen as artists, and not merely technicians. The Pictorialists wanted to make photography an art form, and they went far beyond mere technical capture of a subject. They wanted to make objects of art that were beautiful and expressed personal emotion. To this end, they heavily modified their images. Pictorialist photographers were more interested in art and aesthetics than subject matter. Pictorialists aimed for emotional impact, rich and delicate images, and poetic interpretations. It also took a lot from the styles of painting in its day, particularly Romanticism and Impressionism. Pictorialism often has a spiritual quality, where the photographer listens to the "still, small, voice". Pictorialism faded with the advent of Photographic Modernism, which was inspired by photographic technology itself. In the 21st century, a New Pictorialism, fueled by the power of image editing tools, is becoming increasingly important.

Q&A: Meek But Not Mild
Jo Meek likes it hot, from Marathon des Sables to the Coastal Challenge
Editor's Note: This is the first installment of a mini-series on trailrunnermag.com about women running multi-day adventures on the trails.
The eyes tell the story—they look through you. Deep in focus, almost blinkered like a horse, Jo Meek has only one purpose. To run as fast and as efficiently as possible over six days and win the 10th edition of the 2014 The Coastal Challenge (TCC) in Costa Rica.
I had seen this look once before, at the end of stage 1 of the 2013 Marathon des Sables in Morocco. Sitting in a bivouac, Meek, 36, of Fair Oak, New Hampshire, had just excelled on the first day of the race. I, like others, looked around in wonder and asked the question, "Who is Jo Meek?"
By the end of that 28th Marathon des Sables, no more questions needed to be asked. Meek placed second at her first Marathon des Sables behind Trail Runner Contributing Editor Meghan Hicks.
Switching from the dunes of the Sahara to the beaches and rainforest of Costa Rica was always going to be a cathartic moment for Meek, particularly when one considered the slated seasoned competition: Julia Bottger, Veronica Bravo and Anna "Frosty" Frost. Unfortunately, Frosty had to withdraw from the race just days before the start. While disappointed at not having the opportunity to test herself against one of the best female mountain-ultrarunners in the world, Meek was unfazed: "It changes nothing. I am here to race and race hard. I would have loved to have Anna push me but you know what? I can push myself pretty hard."
On day 1 of the TCC, Meek raced like a demon. Despite the Costa Rican heat and humidity, she put 45 minutes into the female competition and set the platform on which to build for an incredible victory.
Back in the UK after a recovery week in Costa Rica, Meek agreed to an interview, in the midst of a move … into a house that she had purchased without seeing! Says Meek, "I was too involved in my training—I had one focus, to be in the best shape for the TCC. I just didn't have time to go and look at it and convinced myself it would be OK."
Read on for a Q&A with Meek ...

During college, I logged a few years working at the local Best Buy, so you could say that I'm intimately familiar with the ins and outs of the holiday shopping season. We all know about the first two phases - Black Friday, followed by regular gift shopping - but the third is less talked-about. During my time in the retail trenches, we called it the Gift Card Apocalypse.
The Gift Card Apocalypse starts on December 26, and it's the time when shoppers come in with their Christmas spoils, whether it be a gift card or cold, hard cash, and clean out the store shelves to buy the things they didn't find under the tree. We have a feeling that a lot of you are in the same position - in possession of gift cards to your favorite retailers that are currently burning a hole in your pocket. Lucky for you, we're here to help. These bags, starting at $278, are all solid choices for anyone looking for something that can be carried every day. Brights, neutrals, pastels, colorblocking - we've got a little something for everyone, and it's all under four figures.

Color fades
By Purple flower power
from Pittsburgh, PA
I am disappointed that the color fades after about 2 months in the weather. They do get strong sunlight where I have them but the advertisement doesn't say not to put them in the sun or that they fade with exposure. For the price I would expect to get at least 2 summmers out of them. Purchasing 24 of them gets expensive when you have to keep replacing them.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Very realistic product
By Alioops
from North Judson, IN
I bought 4 stems and lined them up in front of the headstone -- they lookd just like a real bed of petunias. They have held their color all summer. I would invest in these again.

Artificial Petunias: Very Pleased
By Mary the Gardener
from Cincinnati, OH
About Me Midrange Shopper
Due to physical limitations, I can no longer do all the planting of live annuals that I once did. When I saw these artificial flowers advertised in the Miles Kimball catalog, I wanted to give them a try. I purchased the purple color and placed them in containers. They look very real. So far, they've been thru several rains and still look beautiful. They make me smile when I leave for work every morning. I've placed an order for another 4 bunches so I can use them in the rear yard. Am extremely pleased at the quality of this product.

These flowers were too small...if I had know how small they were I would have purchased three of each. You should have let us know instead of making it look like they were large. Now, I won't buy more!!

Petunia Bush
By Phyl
from Linwood, MI
I used them in my 2 high window boxes because i couldnot reach them to water real plants safely. I took a board the size of my boxes and drilled holes in them to poke the petunias through and bent the bottoms. They have been through 2 very windy storms and did not move. Looking great!

PCGS grade. Ex. Spinks (1951) Sold by David Akers Numismatics Oct '97 Price realized $7700
David Akers (1975/88): The 1887 is a relatively scarce date in all grades, comparable overall to the 1881-S and a little more rare than the 1880-S and 1890-S. It is not as rare in Unc., however, as either the 1880-S or 1881-S. In choice mint state the 1887-S is very scarce and gems are notably rare. A few really superb examples of this date are also known including the Unc-67 coin that is in a prominent Dallas Bank collection.
Ron Guth:
The Saddle Ridge Hoard of gold coins, discovered in northern California in 2013, contained only eleven 1887-S Double Eagles. One was ungradeable due to cleaning, but three were Mint State.
