I am considering Waldorf based education for my 3- year old daughter, and I have done some but not a lot of reading. One of my first questions in exploring this option is whether or not Waldorf can adopt new ideas and evolve as more is learned about child education. I hear about original ideas, and I like many of them, yet I also feel it is important for ideas to evolve over time and not remain fixed in a particular time/place. How does this work within Waldorf?
I would maybe suggest looking into Waldorf charter schools. There you have the methods of a Waldorf school, but because it is publicly funded, the school also adheres to state standards. This may help with some of your concerns.

I think it's all up to the faculty at your particular school and your particular teacher. Change, should it occur, would likely be very slow as it is with any consensus based organization. And some things will never change in a Waldorf school like the focus on play-based activities in pre-K, Kindergarten, and even into first grade a little bit. Low-media is also a value that will not go away. So, if the New York Times publishes a story about the amazing neurological benefits of a certain computer game, you won't find Waldorf schools implementing it in their grade school but the faculty might be open to using it in middle school and up. Certainly a long discussion process would take place. So, if you are hoping for nimble reaction to new insights I think you will be disappointed. However another way of looking at this is that Waldorf has been impervious to educational fads.
If there is already something about Waldorf that doesn't suit you, ask a lot of questions about it at your local school and then make your decision assuming that it probably won't change while you are a parent. If this is a more ambiguous concern, I would ask other parents how change happens at your school. I think you will find that it is a deliberative process that involves the PTA and the faculty, but hardly ever occurs if it is just one or two parents advocating for a change. Hope that helps! jax
Thank-you for your thoughts on this. I do not have a particular school in mind or a particular issue. My question is more general, since society's understanding of child development and education evolve over time. While I do not think that education needs to incorporate the latest fad, I think there is value in having the freedom to evolve philosophically. Like I wrote, I have only recently started reading about Waldorf education, yet I see very specific recommendations for particular products, like German crayons or fairy tales or a certain way of painting. I ended up with the first impression that the philosophy had very specific roots in a particular place from a particular time. I see value in rootedness but wondered to what degree it was dogmatic and stationary. Are there new Waldorf theorists/philosophers? Or is Steiner the only one? Is it generally acceptable to disagree with his thoughts on particular issues, or do schools closely follow his lead? Are there new Waldorf theories of education or are they the same ones from the early 1900s?
That being said...I find that there are many popular educational philosophers whose ideas correspond with Waldorf. I'm thinking of Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences for one. William Ayers and Sir Ken Robinson both have ideas that mesh with Waldorf. In a broader sense, I think that much of the current scientific research also support the Waldorf approach...here I am specifically thinking of the studies that actively discourage media exposure in children, and studies on classroom design that turn the prevailing idea of educational architecture on its head. They find that the usual classroom, with few windows and florescent lights, actually produce more distracted and even aggressive behavior in children.
So none of these people/studies say to support Waldorf by name, but their ideas certainly go along with the Waldorf method. Clear as mud?

With regard to "new theorists," one of the truly great things about Waldorf is that these "new theorists" are the teachers themselves! Because of it's collegial structure within (and across) schools, there is a great capacity for what in other domains might be called "active research." So, instead of a model where you have colleges of education and the professors within them coming up with new theories and insights and disseminating them to practitioners, the collegial structure of Waldorf encourages teachers to share locally, then create school-level norms, and eventually through conferences and books and journals the new ideas are disseminated. The potential limitation, as you point to here, is that people will talk to themselves and not "hear" insights that come from other sources. However, an interesting thing is happening with Waldorf teachers and current research in neurodevelopment. They pay attention to it a lot because what current research tends to reveal is how the mind and the body are not as separate as we usually assume them to be and that good education will speak to the integral aspects of the human being. There are probably many more ways to use current neurodevelopment research to create a sound and developmental education that seeks to grow the many "intelligences" of the human being. I very much hope that such a form could be created and disseminated more widely into the public school system. I think in many ways it would look like a Waldorf school.
I also think the unique trappings of Waldorf schools are taken to be more determinative than they have to be. For example, German crayons are not recommended because they are German but because they are made out of beeswax and because of their shape. They allow students to rub pages with color more easily than the narrow and pointed Crayola crayons. Also, the block crayons are good for children who aren't ready to hold a pencil-like implement. Watercolor painting is encouraged because of the "color experience" that can be had by fluidly mixing colors and also by how easily it "self-corrects" so that kids can enjoy their painting without getting overly frustrated by how it is turning out. The first time I tried wet-on-wet watercolor I thought I could just go ahead and paint. But water will go anywhere it wants and I discovered that I couldn't control the form of my trees without being careful about how much I was dipping my brush and therefore how much water I was adding to the page. Because I am not an artist, I got a very good sense of the discipline and focus that is being developed within a young child who is trying to make a simple painting of a tree. If you ever get a chance to see some of the middle grades watercoloring, it is amazing to see how all these elements are controlled and they are able to make clearly defined people and animals in clear and bold colors.
If you are interested, I encourage you to seek out such participatory experiences so that you can gain a better understanding of the "whys" behind Waldorf. You're probably right in that the "theory' is not terribly open to change. Waldorf teachers believe young children learn through play in a loving environment, children around the age of 7 learn through their bodies and their feelings, and that this approach should be built upon holistically until around the age 14 when students should be asked to apply their own reasoning to bigger questions using a more analytical standpoint. That is not to say that analysis doesn't happen earlier but in a Waldorf school learning about a lion, for example, would involve painting one, and hearing a story about one, roaring like one in a song, and learning about its habitat and what it eats in the context of a story and artwork. In a different type of school, learning about a lion might come from a textbook or encyclopedia where the student might also draw a picture of a lion but might just as well make a paper collage of lion pictures clipped from National Geographic. This report might include charts or lists of facts about lions and their habitat. It is also a report that might be written at home as homework and then presented to the class along with presentations of other animals the class is studying. Within this one example it is easy to see the differences in how learning is approached. In a Waldorf school, all of the children would learn about lions together in the classroom. It is a social and experiential approach as opposed to one designed for the acquisition of facts. The child in the mainstream classroom would probably come out of their activity knowing more facts about lions - not a bad outcome either. But how long will this knowledge be retained? In a day and age when our cellphones can tell us everything we need to know about lions, how much does it matter that we have retained various facts from 3rd grade? I think it is far better to develop an inquisitive and searching attitude towards subjects that interest us. Basically, to learn to love learning. I think educational forms that are deep + wide + social can set a person up for developing this orientation within themselves and the discipline to master facts will come naturally. I am not saying love of learning can't come from the more mainstream approach - clearly it does - but what if writing reports like that is the main (or only way) of engaging with subjects? If we want to encourage divergent thinking, I am not sure this is the best way to go about it. I think kids need to know that every topic can be accessed from various viewpoints.
Ha! I have just surprised myself with how much I have written! All in all, I think Waldorf education is best understood as art or practice rather than theory because the developmental theory itself is rather basic. It's the creative implication of what one does after viewing human beings in this way that provides the opportunity for change and innovation. What do you think, Knittygritty? I am only speaking from parent observations but evidently I have quite a few of them! :)
Wow...what a great question. It's so general, though -- I find myself wondering what research you are particularly thinking of, and how you think the education should change to accommodate this?
Every primary teacher my children have had seems to be changing and developing the education by trying new things. For example, my younger child is now learning about early Chinese culture in 7th grade, the older learned computer programming in 8th grade, and there is an online forum as part of a social studies course set up in 11th grade for the first time this year. Those seem to me exciting developments. In addition, many schools are breaking away from the 8-year class teacher period to develop strong middle school programs with their own circle of teachers. This is gradually happening at my school at well, and I am hoping the pace keeps up.
In addition, there are journals in England and the USA and Germany and probably elsewhere as well dedicated to research within the Waldorf movement. Rawson's Educational Tasks & Content of the Steiner Curriculum (http://www.steinerbooks.org/detail.html?id=9781900169073) redefined the curriculum substantially in comparison to earlier curricular guides, and I know of at least one book that tries to completely rework the pedagogical basis from the ground up.
On the other hand, as knittygritty and Jacquelin mentioned, other aspects of the pedagogical philosophy are likely to remain pretty stable, partly because much recent research confirms such things as that play and imitation are healthy bases for early child education.
So ... back to the question: what kind of a shift might you be longing for?
I work in the public school system and have recently been attending meetings about the new common core standards that will be implemented next year. These are being introduced in nearly every state, so public schools across the country will have the same common core.
I found it interesting that the new standards lean in a decidedly more Waldorf direction. Teachers are being instructed to find the individual learning styles of their students and incorporate them all into their lesson plans. Students should have the opportunity to draw, sculpt, role play, write, etc to fully understand the lesson. Experiential learning is now key--instead of learning about physics by reading about a rollercoaster, students should build a rollercoaster or take a trip to ride one. In addition, the new core hopes to boost critical thinking skills. Student are asked to verbalize the strategies they used to solve problems. There should be less telling by the teacher. Instead, the teacher should provide the students with a wide variety of problem-solving strategies and then allow the students to independently choose which strategies to use on a given problem.
Honestly, I think an effective teacher already uses this approach in the classroom, but it's encouraging to me that all teachers will now be held to these standards. It seems that people are beginning to realize that the holistic approach to education, which Waldorf schools have always implemented, really does nurture students and allow them to grow.

Someone wise told me once that society's understanding of child development and education evolve over time, but children stay the same.
While you and I played fairly freely outside instead of attending an academic preschool, and our kids do the opposite, biologically they are not different from us.
In different times, adults demand different things from children, but their development is bending into adult needs only by force.
Your question is one that I wondered myself. I guess we live in a fast moving society and it was hard for me when I sensed dogmatic-ness...(excuse my english) in Waldorf as I researched it.
But really I was looking for a safe haven for my kids. I didn't like the direction our public school was taking. More hours on academics, spending money on ipads for each student, when I would have liked an art teacher... So I picked the "best out there" option.
Ok, kind of weird that they all copy the teachers drawings, but hey, at least they believe drawing is a valuable skill, not a waste of hours that could have been used in academically sound activities like reading-apps on ipad... So I picked Waldorf.
I later realize, that copying teachers drawings are well planned methods that carry all kinds of great learning in them, and that my son absolutely loves it. he doesn't come home feeling oppressed by having to draw the same with everyone, but extremely exited to have learned a new drawing skill and spending rest of the day implementing that skill on his own drawings out of his own creativity.
My kids teacher is a great fun modern pesonality, that has washed away my fears. And besides, I don't feel any need for the philosophy to change. Waldorf is a particular philosophy that certain people are looking for and its a great solid option for the ever changing other options available.
I don't even have the fancy words in english to express myself, so I don't know why I'm writing this reply, read Jacquelin's reply again if you need to, it was great. You could also come talk to my son who has experienced both traditional school and Waldorf and he can, because this is what he does all the time, draw you examples of how same thing can be learned so differently.
He once drew a paper with the typical school like chart where you had empty lines with -an ending, and he explained that in other schools you have to fill this chart with the words they have told you end with -an. And another paper he proudly presented had an -an-house where you will together collect all the -an words you can remember from the long story your teacher just told. I have no idea if his teacher invented it, or if some other waldorf guru did, or maybe steiner himself, but my son loves it, and knows to appreciate it.
I'm really enjoying reading all this. I do think childhood is timeless. Do schools need to evolve? Yes, and they do. Each teacher brings something new.

A good book to read is The Story of Waldorf Education in the United States. http://www.steinerbooks.org/detail.html?session=19e1adba0f8df93f6bb3157c0392d7d0&cat=13&id=9780880106566 I look forward to reading the article above when I get the time, which I see is written by the same person.

Taking what works and leaving the rest
What a great thread. Thanks for contributing, everyone! This has been very helpful as we're currently looking into Waldorf as an option for Kinder.
knittygritty, thanks for sharing Steve's article. I met him last fall and thoroughly enjoyed our conversations.
Steve Sagarin probably addresses this in one the blog posts, but Steiner did understand that human beings and their institutions do evolve. Yes there are universal principles, but there is no need to replicate the conditions of 1925 in our contemporary schools. For example - I've heard teachers remark that over the last couple decades 1st graders no longer seem able to take naps in school. So the pace of modern life has changed, but there's no way to force children to nap if they don't have that impulse, so teachers have adapted to doing things differently. In the high school computers are not off-limits just because there were none in Steiner's time. Steiner thought that understanding the technologies of the day was a very important task. I believe high school students are ready to use computers as a tool and learn to be the master of the technology rather than the other way around ;)
James 12/04 & Cecelia 4/07
First graders took naps? I didn't know that. How long ago was that a common expectation and what age did they start first grade?
I went to a public school here in NC, and we took naps on mats spread throughout the classroom during 1st grade. I'm not sure how many of us slept, but we had the quiet time set aside with the lights out... but that was 1983-1984, so I was 6 then turned 7.
As for my daughter's Waldorf school... Last year in 1st grade they had a quiet time to nap, but not all of them did. Now in 2nd grade, it's more like a quiet activity time for free choice inside such as board games etc. Her birthday falls a few months earlier than mine, but in 1st grade she was 6 then turned 7 as well.

as they have with their other guns...I think Rugers single and double action revolvers have reached a level of quality vs. price that few companies can compete with my gp100 is flawless and their 22lr. pistols and rifles are of similar value...Their new 1911 is wildly successful.
Do you feel their SR9,40,45 Semi-autos share the same quality and ruggedness of the above mentioned guns. Although the SR9 is a nice gun but I find fewer people even giving them a thought and see very few at the range....Springfield has a very popular XD....S&W has a popular M&P and the Rugers SR9 is about $100+ cheaper yet doesn`t seem to get the same respect and sales....what do you think is wrong?......Jim

Late last year, during an interview with the Guardian, the Culture Secretary Maria Miller was asked a routine question. Which cultural events had she been to recently? Being Culture Secretary and everything?
It's not exactly "Did you or did you not have a w*** thinking about Margaret Thatcher?" is it? But Miller was stumped. She was going to take her daughter to see The Promise at the Donmar Warehouse, she said, confusing past and future tense. Eventually, she offered: "Three Sisters, a Chekhov play at the New Vic." At which point, her special adviser interceded.
The outgoing chair of the Arts Council, Dame Liz Forgan, surely had Miller in her sights when she used a parting speech to lambast politicians for their lack of interest in the arts. If the Culture Secretary feels the need to spell out that Three Sisters is a Chekhov play, gets the name of a famous London theatre wrong and needs a special adviser present at all times, it does not say much for this government's inner life.
David Cameron is happy to be seen at the football, even though the Premier League is the most expensive to watch in Europe, but never at the National Theatre, where the cheapest ticket is £12. Indeed, with a few exceptions — Peter Mandelson, Ben Bradshaw, Chris Smith, spot the trend — you never see politicians at artistic events. Why?
According to David Mellor, who is usually taking up a seat or two at Covent Garden, it's because too many politicians "are not fully formed as personalities. Either they don't like the arts, or their spin doctors have told them not to talk about it."
Conservatives are suspicious of subsidised culture, which many decry as taxes on the poor to entertain the rich (dim, since progressive taxation ensures this is not the case). Meanwhile Labour politicians are frightened to be seen living it up (dim again, as this feeds the idea that arts are only there for the privileged).
Perhaps more understandably, politicians on both sides want to avoid Dame Liz Forgan. But leaving aside arguments about public subsidy, you'd think they'd support the British creative industries as a matter of prestige.
Could the royal family lead by example? The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who both studied history of art, should surely be at the front of the queue to the Manet exhibition at the Royal Academy (clue's in the name, chaps). But when have they ever been seen at a gallery? To judge by their critical response to that terrible portrait — Kate: "It's just amazing, I thought it was brilliant." William: "It's beautiful, it's absolutely beautiful" — they could both do with a refresher course.
As for our MPs, the more time they spend broadening their horizons, the better, I say.
Harry's wargames training
It is interesting to see Prince Harry's post-Afghanistan interview fêted as a PR triumph. He came across as a lovely chap. But essentially, what the guy said was: "I find my earthly duties so trying that the only time I am truly happy is on the battlefield." Even more essentially: "I kill to forget."
Just as telling was his elision of video games and modern warfare. When asked what it was like to pilot an Apache helicopter, he said: "It's a joy for me because I'm one of those people who loves playing PlayStation and Xbox, so with my thumbs I like to think that I'm probably quite useful." A Taliban spokesman responded that his comments "demean everyone". Hey, not quite as demeaning as mutilating schoolgirls in the name of Allah, but you can see his point.
The trouble is, for the modern soldier, video games are the most absorbing diversion available. The American charity Operation Supply Drop flies them out to troops in Afghanistan, claiming they not only ease boredom but help reduce the suicide rate among soldiers. If they have the added benefit of improving thumb-eye co-ordination, you can see why they're encouraged.
It isn't just great news for Newham that LiveNation has shifted its summer concerts to the Olympic Park, providing a semblance of afterlife for the site. The decision will also benefit anyone who lives or works near Hyde Park and is fed up with public space being fenced off.
But perhaps it will work out best for music fans, who will hopefully never again experience the disappointment of seeing a concert in Hyde Park. I lost count of the time I was tempted along by a promising line-up and the idea of a "festival feel", only to find the volume was too low, the beer too expensive and the sponsors all over the place. This is somehow expected in the Olympic Park.
Snow? We take it in our stride
On Monday morning, I took one look out of the window and opted to work from home. I advised a visiting friend, who was taking a train to Bristol, to leave at least two hours to get to Paddington.
I soon felt like a plonker. Not only had all my colleagues somehow skidooed into the office; my friend phoned to say he had made it to the station fine and had caught an earlier train. When even First Great Western is working, you have to ask: what on earth has gone right?
It seems that London is finally used to snow. The buses are fine, a little crowded maybe. The Tube hasn't been any worse than normal. Heathrow doesn't look much fun but there has been far less disruption than last year, thanks to a new policy of cancelling flights a day in advance. It looks like we have nothing to fear but fear itself. Fear — and wet gloves.

Re: New to fly fishing and this forum
What a great start. Nice gear too. Looks like you may have the "Orvis itch" or in your case the TFO itch bad. Enjoy.
Fly tying is really satisfying. You'll love it as much. Every fly you will tie will be the "one" that catches that next big fish. You'll be dyin to try it out. Very addictive.
As far as tying tools, it depends. I believe a great pair of finely tipped scissors is a must. Many folks have two pairs, one for heavy materials, like wire, and another pair for finely trimming and snipping off waste material.
Anvil makes great tying tools. If actual tying tools are not available in your area, a trip to the sewing store can work. They usually have one or two decent pairs of embroidery scissors or ones that are finely tipped.
Nice bobbin for your thread. Whip finisher, bodkin, and a couple other specific tools that could probably wait. Head cement too. I like thinner threads, #8 is good.
I wouldn't skimp on your scissors, its frustrating not getting close when detailing a fly. There are many threads here that focus in on tools for starting up. The biggies are good vise, good scissors, good bobbins, whip finisher, bodkin, hair stacker.
As far as flies, sky is the limit. Looks like you are fishing rainbows and maybe steelies? Easy to find simple patterns that target the species you'll be fishin for.
Peacock herl is the universal favorite, good place to start. Some natural earth tone dubbins, beige, pale green, black and dark brown. Tinsel in both silver and gold. I use a lot of silver wire.
Maybe some different hackles. Grizzly, ginger, brown, white and black. there's an online store that sells capes that have half one color and half another, great deal. Someone here will know. I think it Whitings sample capes? Good deal and value.
I'll stop now.
good luck with your adventure

[AFRICA CUP OF NATIONS] The drought is over. Algeria, the USA's third opponent at the 2010 World Cup, became the first South Africa-bound team to win a game at the Africa Cup of Nations, defeating Mali, 1-0, on Rafik Halliche's header in the second half.
The Desert Foxes still have their work cut out
for them, though. Host Angola's 1-0 win over Malawi means that Algeria will need to beat the host country on Monday to advance to the quarterfinals.
"Today, we played like a team and
we got the result we wanted," Algeria's homegrown coach Rabah Saadane said. "It takes a long time to build a team of excellent players."
Halliche scored the Fennecs'
first goal of the tournament, deflecting Karim Ziani's free kick into the Mali goal.
Algeria's win followed reports out of Algeria that
midfielder Khaled Lemmouchia had quit the team after getting into a confrontation with Saadane and two other players, Rafik
Saifi and Mohamed Ousserir, got into a fight.

Like a Snow Day with No Snow
Today - at two days beyond my due date with my third child - I have reached a peak in the emotional ups and downs which characterize the feelings of awaiting a childbirth. I mean, really, these days are total freebies. It is like a snow day - you thought you had assignments due and meetings to attend, but then everything got canceled and you are home with 24 free hours. That is kind of how it is around here. This was "supposed" to be the early days of sleeping and nursing and getting to smell … [Read more...]

Candy Math — A Halloween Tradition
If you are going to be trick or treating this year, I wanted to post this now so that you can gather some supplies if you like.I make myself feel better about all that candy consumption by turning Halloween into an extended, hands on, math lesson for my children.

While I am from New York City (and don't you forget it!), this is one area where I have allowed, over time, my husband's loyalties to win out.

When Disaster Strikes…
...Sometimes the kids step up to the plate and help mom out! Last week was just one of those weeks that I'm glad is behind us. We didn't have the flu but we did have a nasty case of the stomach bug, and combined with Dad being out of town and Mom having too many outside commitments (that were eventually canceled), we were a bit overwhelmed!Since the reason of this post is to share one of the lessons learned from last week's debacle, I will spare you the gory details of our situation.

The head of CanCERN is questioning a pay hike for EQC's chief executive.
Ian Simpson has been given a pay rise of $70,000 in the past year, putting his annual income in the bracket of between $400,000 - $409,000.
CanCERN's Leanne Curtis says it's going to make many people angry, especially since EQC's not meeting its customer satisfaction targets.
"I think the argument that some Cantabrians would have is it's excessive if you're not delivering. Now from a customer's perspective, are they delivering? What are they doing to earn that four-hundred-thousand dollars."
Leanne Curtis says if EQC doesn't want to be criticised over the pay rise, it should open up the performance-based targets for Ian Simpson to the public.

Recap | Box Score | Quotes | Photo Gallery
Today's announced crowd of 110,187 marks the 217th consecutive game of more than 100,000 fans at Michigan Stadium.
Today's game marked the first-ever meeting between Michigan and Massachusetts. UMass is the 142nd opponent to face the Wolverines in program history. Michigan is 114-24-4 all time in first-time matchups with a school.
In addition to its permanent captains, fifth-year senior linebacker Mark Moundros and fifth-year senior offensive guard Stephen Schilling, Michigan's game captains were fifth-year senior nose tackle Adam Patterson and senior cornerback James Rogers.
Senior/junior wide receiver Junior Hemingway made his season debut against Massachusetts and made a 36-yard reception in the second quarter for his only touch of the contest.
The Wolverines' 42 points scored against Massachusetts represents their greatest point total since scoring 63 last season against Delaware State (Oct. 17, 2009). Michigan scored touchdowns on five consecutive possessions between the second and fourth quarters today.
Sophomore quarterback Denard Robinson completed 10-for-14 passes for 241 yards and rushed for 104 yards on 17 carries. It is his third consecutive game with more than 100 passing yards and 100 rushing yards. Robinson completed four passes of 35 yards or more -- 36, 43, 66, 46.
Junior running back Michael Shaw boasted a career-high 126 rushing yards on 12 carries and three touchdowns -- his first collegiate multi-touchdown performance. Shaw's 34-yard rushing touchdown early in the third quarter is the longest touchdown run of his career, while his 50-yard run in the fourth quarter is a career-long rush, surpassing his previous long of 48 yards, which he registered two seasons ago at Minnesota (Nov. 8, 2008). He capped the latter drive with a four-yard touchdown run.
Michigan boasted multiple 100-yard rushers for the 35th time in program history. Shaw and Denard Robinson represent U-M's first 100-yard rushing duo in three years, dating back to the 2007 season when Brandon Minor (157) and Carlos Brown (132) achieved the feat against Minnesota (Oct. 27, 2007).
Junior wide receiver Darryl Stonum caught three passes for a career-high 121 receiving yards and two touchdowns -- his first collegiate multi-touchdown game. He boasts five career touchdowns -- four receiving and one on a kick return.
Stonum posted Michigan's first 100-yard receiving effort since Roy Roundtree tallied 116 yards against Ohio State last season (Nov. 21, 2009).
Stonum registered a career-long 66-yard reception for the Wolverines' second touchdown late in the second quarter. His previous long was 60 yards, which he recorded for a touchdown last season at Michigan State (Oct. 3, 2009). The pass is also a career long for Denard Robinson, surpassing his previous-long 43-yard completion to senior/junior wide receiver Kelvin Grady in the first quarter.
The Wolverines committed their first turnover of the season early in the first quarter on an interception by Denard Robinson. The Wolverine quarterback completed 64 passes to start the season before throwing the pick.
Grady recorded a career-long reception in the first quarter on a 43-yard pass from Robinson to set up the Wolverines' first touchdown. Grady's previous long was 38 yards, which he registered last season for a touchdown against Delaware State (Oct. 17, 2009). Grady also recorded his career-long rush on a 15-yard carry early in the third quarter.
Junior nose tackle Mike Martin recorded his first sack of the season -- for a 12-yard loss -- in the second quarter. Martin owns five career sacks, averaging a loss of seven yards.
Junior/sophomore safety Jordan Kovacs registered his first career fumble recovery -- on his third career forced fumble -- late in the second quarter.
Kovacs also posted a season-best 11 tackles for his second double-digit tackle performance of the season and the fifth of his career. The effort also pushed Kovacs over 100 tackles for his career; he wrapped the game with 102.
Sophomore/freshman safety Cameron Gordon secured his first collegiate interception in the fourth quarter.

sti tmic with cobb stage 2
im running stage 2 on my car and wondering if i put the sti tmic on it will it be an issue. i just bought a sti top mount for $200 bucks(great shape no dents in the fins) and would like to put it on the car. but if its going to hurt me more than benefit me i wont put it on. im buying pieces at a time for my "build" and going to do all of it at one time but since the tmic is such an easy install just wondering if it would be ok to mount with stage 2.
thanks :)
I can't think of any reason it would be an issue, be a bit more volume but probably not noticeable at all until you start trying to add boost/timing.
You won't see any gains from it. Cobb's maps allow an up-pipe and lightened crank pulley to be added without issue, per the map notes on the 02-05 WRX.
Yea, gains from a better intercooler are seen via tuning because it will potentially allow you to run more timing/boost. Be are though that STI intercoolers are known for rubbing holes in the firewall AC line. So be careful and see if you can get as much space between the intercooler and that line.
Any time to you make a change to the intake tract you need to retune if the map is not setup for it. The larger volume of the STI TMIC could cause you to run lean.
The only thing it could possibly do from a tuning technical standpoint is slow boost by a microsecond because it is a larger volume intercooler, you might gain .0000001 hp because your intake charge cools by 20 deg or so, which is nothing. Your gains are going to be seen because you can safely add timing and boost without knocking. The intercoolers are post maf, so assuming your maf scaling is correct there shouldn't be any afr issues.
You will be fine. I confirmed this P&L and Cobb. I've been running an STI top mount on my car for over 6 months. My logs look good, no knock at all.
The trick is getting enough air to it. I switched to an STI scoop and splitter. Not sure what options there are for the 02.
That's a great price. I think I have close to $400 into mine b/c I bought a new y-pipe and all new silicone connectors.
thanks for all the info. ive already got a sti hood scoop mounted,i just need to buy the sti splitter. hopefully i can find the splitter for pretty cheap and get it mounted.
[quote=Kjott21;270491]Any time to you make a change to the intake tract you need to retune if the map is not setup for it. The larger volume of the STI TMIC could cause you to run lean.[/quote]
The 02-03 models run pig rich from the factory and also have a greater amount of give than newer models. That's why you can use a MBC with them, albeit not advised without tuning, because the factory tune is a bit more forgiving than the 04 and up.
That statement isn't true to begin with. An intercooler does not [I]require[/I] a tune to use (but certainly would benefit) nor does changing the turbo inlet or intake manifold.
[quote=brfatal;270507]That statement isn't true to begin with. An intercooler does not [I]require[/I] a tune to use (but certainly would benefit) nor does changing the turbo inlet or intake manifold.[/quote]
Which statement?
ok as far as the hood Splitter goes do i go with an oem 04-05 sti [URL="https://www.subarugenuineparts.com/product_info.php?cPath=33_68&products_id=740"]https://www.subarugenuineparts.com/product_info.php?cPath=33_68&products_id=740[/URL] or 06-07 [URL="https://www.subarugenuineparts.com/product_info.php?cPath=33_68&products_id=1008"]https://www.subarugenuineparts.com/product_info.php?cPath=33_68&products_id=1008[/URL]
Find one for an 02-03 since you drive an 02...
[quote=psinuse;270510]Find one for an 02-03 since you drive an 02...[/quote]
they didnt make sti style hood scoops/Splitter for the 02 as a factory option. im pretty sure the bolt pattern is the same or if not its made out of metal i can drill out some new holes to make it work. just wondering if anyone has done this job and what did they use. i was also told i can modify my stock 02 splitter to make the sti tmic work without any fitment issues

DAO, how to get the good side ending Bioware stole.
View Single Post
August 23rd, 2011, 11:46
I felt being cheated by Bioware anyway, after I found out how my decisions affect the long-term look-out for the Dwarven population …
I felt cheated by Bioware, because I had the impression that they wanted to spoil my "good outcome experience" definitively. My impression was that I SHOULD NOT have a positive feeling of the game like "the world is saved again".
They did - in my opinion - everything to mix a slight poson or a bitter taste into everything, so that I just couldn't rejoice or have a good feeling with this game.
(Example : The Ghost boy and hi mother, as I call them, deep within the ancient Elven ruins. They were never meant to be united by the developers, or otherwise they would have done so. Or someone just forgot them. This is my personal strongest example of how they tried hard, very hard to instill into the player a feeling of sadness, of morbidity, of helplessness, and of several other negatiove feelings as well. It's as if they were not only destroying my sand castle, but also taking away all tools with which I could build and rebuild it, to use the cliché.)
And as I realized that, I "paused" this game.
I'm still unsure whether I want to play it to the end, and buy the "ultimate" version of it … Simply because I can sense that "sweet poison" throughout the whole game …
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. (E.F.Schumacher, Economist,

Peanut Butter Brownie Cookies
Recipe by heather in Ont
A delicious rich tasting soft cookie that is quick and easy to make. If you love brownies or peanut butter give these a try. The original recipe (Pillsbury Bake Off - 41 Contest submitted by Deb McGowan) calls for 1-cup peanut butter and 1 cup powder sugar. I had lots left over so I have decreased it to 3/4 cup each on this recipe. The 1st batch I didn't press the peanut butter ball down enough but still tasted great. Make sure you let them cool as the peanut butter holds the heat and you may burn your mouth.
Top Review by Sarabelle
THANK YOU! This recipe saved me. My husband showed up to work only to call me at 9am asking if I could make something by noon for his office holiday potluck, which he forgot about. Not easy with a house full of 4 under the age of 5! I needed something delicious enough to send into his work, but quick enough that I could do with 4 kids under foot. This recipe was a grand slam! Made it in under 30 mins, including bake time! My husband said they were the best things I've ever made. My daughter and I are preparing to make 3 more batches today for cookie trays to give to the neighbors :-) Thanks for sharing Heather!

How to loosen 2B to 2A??
OK. Here's the deal. I've been browsing through these pots and I can see that most of you are very proud of your 2B hair -- and rightly so! Your pictures are super cute! I've written a gigantic post in the "introduce yourself" forum so I won't say too much, but ...
My dilemma is that my mostly 2B hair is ... well ... inconsistent, to say the least. The major problems are frizz and curls that don't "end" correctly -- meaning, they curl up/zig zag/wiggle/etc. instead of falling down straight or tapering at the end. Although other people seem to love my hair, I do not like how thin the strands are or how "small" the curls are (aka small wavelength).
Though I've given up my fixation with straightening, my latest obsession is with 2A hair! Does anyone have any styling tips on how to loosen waves and how to turn tighter curls into bigger, clumpier waves? I hope this question is not sacrilege on a 2B board!!
Don't know if this is what you are looking for, but for looser or straighter curls/waves, after washing in the evening I comb my hair & let air dry somewhat. When my hair is almost dry (still slightly damp) I put my hair in a messy bun with a scrunchy on the top of my head and leave it in until the next morning. Yes, I sleep like this. :) In the morning, I hang my head upside down, carefully remove the scrunchy (a silky scruchy makes this much easier), shake the roots then flip my head upright. If my hair is still a bit damp, I just leave it alone & let it air dry. Otherwise, if I try and mess with it, it frizzes.
I don't know how long your hair is, but I have Bra Strap Lenght (BSL), so this does a nice job for loose waves.
Another thing you could try is braiding your hair when slightly damp and curl up your ends with one of those twisty curler thingies (can't think of the name, lol) or use maybe rags or small rollers at the ends .... just a thought.
Good luck & let us know what you decide to do & how it works!
Thanks for the suggestions -- I'll have to give the scrunchy method a try. Unfortunately braiding never works for me :( (I also have BSL hair, btw)
Are there any recommendations for products that help to loosen curl? I was considering trying Phytodefrissant or perhaps something from Redken.
The questionable technique I've been using to loosen my curls is as follows -- brush hair after showering, put in a decent amount of Wired, brush again. Blowdry until 90% dry, then put in a bunch more Wired in sections, brush hair and pull resistant parts so they loosen up, finish drying. This seems like a strange way to accomplish the task, and if I don't use enough Wired, this is just a recipe for hair that is extremely frizzy and looks v. dry. I did this last night, slept on it, and have near perfect 2A waves this morning (albeit limp).
It is not so much the products as it is the technique. I have found technique is the key to consistent hair regardless of what product I use, although finding a good product helps a lot.
Let me critique your technique and then I will give you some suggestions. This is what I do to get my hair looking like it does in the picture under my name. *i know it is small*
brush hair after showering, put in a decent amount of Wired, brush again.
Don't brush hair. That will just separate the curls and disrupt the curl pattern. Frizz factor in effect.
Blowdry until 90% dry
Do you use a diffuser? What setting is your dryer on?
Then put in a bunch more Wired in sections, brush hair and pull resistant parts so they loosen up, finish drying.
Brushing hair at 90% dry is a receipe for frizzy hair.
My suggestions:
Do not brush hair. That is going to cause frizz. In order to get tangles out, wash and condition your hair. When you are ready to wash out condish, flip head over and while rinsing out hair, wide-tooth comb your hair to ensure all tangles are out. Keep your head flipped over during this WHOLE process.
I am not familiar with Wired. Is it a gel or cream? If it is a gel then... on dripping wet hair , scrunch in your product. Divide your hair into 3 even parts and scrunch in products evenly. As you scrunch in gel, you will be squeezing out extra water. This is good... the "squish" is good. If Wired is a cream, then lightly blot your hair so that drippies are gone. Then scrunch in product following the gel directions.
Dry hair with a diffuser. A diffuser is an attachment that is put on the nozzle of the dryer. It looks like a bowl. Follow the pixiecurl method of drying hair which is below.
Once hair is 80% dry only then can you flip your head upright. You should have nice big loose curls.
Hope this helps.
agk, have you tried the messy scrunchy bun method yet? How did it work if you did it?
I saw your pics & you have great hair! :)
babycurlsss: thanks for checking up on me :) well, i attempted the bun method yesterday but it didn't work so well. the top parts of my curls were indeed stretched out the way i like them, but they were fuzzy and didn't have good definition. somehow, the bottoms of each wave were tight ringlets. it almost looked like i was growing out a perm, heh. mind you, i don't exactly have the best haircut right now, so that probably has something to do with it. ah well, if at first ....
ava: i'm with you 100% about brushing = frizz hell. but recently i've found that i can brush with minor frizz impact if i slather on rusk wired after my hair has either air dried of diffuse dried to about 80%. i did this sometime last week and had ridiculously soft, stretched out 2A waves -- at least on part of my canopy ;) i usually diffuse with a bowl diffuser on the cool & low setting.
ava, i tried your method with some v. surprising results :) i did almost exactly what you said step by step -- and got perfect sproingy 3a/b thin curls. yep, what many people *want* and exactly what i'm trying to forget sprouts out of my poor little head!! i think i've learned that diffusing for me = instant thin, separated curls. i'm wondering if i don't get loose curls from this method because my hair is fine, but has tremendous tensile strength. so it's not heavy enough to loosen out to waves and sproings back up easily.
%^@#$%^%&#&^$!! back to the drawing board. :roll:

Her "Piece of Me" show is one of the hottest in the history of Las Vegas and Britney Spears is about to be given the key to the city.
According to Caesars Entertainment, the "Toxic" songstress will get a dedicated day on November 5th, dubbed "Britney Day."
There always seems to be some story about Britney Spears lip syncing during her shows, and yet the "Toxic" songstress couldn't be doing much better in Sin City.
Spears' Piece of Me residency kicked off at Planet Hollywood Resort in December of 2013 and the head honchos like her so much that they extended the two-year contract an additional two years.
Showing some love to her German fans, Britney Spears showed up at CentrO shopping mall in Oberhausen to plug her new lingerie from "The Intimate Collection" today (September 25).
Sporting a shot bob hairdo and a conservative cream suit, the "Baby One More Time" star worked her magic amidst a sea of beautiful underwear models.
She wowed spectators this month at New York Fashion Week with her self-titled intimates collection, and now Britney Spears is seeking out a very special customer.
While chatting with British newspaper The Mirror, the 32-year-old performer revealed that she would love to see Kate Middleton rock her lingerie collection.
Always taking on new projects, Britney Spears showed off her latest labor of love at the New York Public Library on Tuesday (September 9).
The "Toxic" singer was surrounded by lovely models as she unleashed The Intimate Britney Spears lingerie and sleepwear collection.
She hasn't exactly had the best luck with men and following her split with David Lucado, Britney Spears is licking her wounds in the company of her loved ones.
On Monday night (September 1) the "Baby One More Time" songstress posted an Instagram photo of herself with her sons Jayden James and Sean Preston as well as her sister Jamie Lynn Spears and her niece Maddie.
They spent the past 18 months in romantic bliss, but sadly things just didn't work out for Britney Spears and David Lucado.
According to several sources, the "Toxic" singer discovered a video of her man with another woman, and that was enough to send him packing.

Feb. 13, 2011
Site: Houston, Texas (Cougar Stadium)
Event: Houston Hilton Plaza Invitational
Scores: #11 Michigan 16, Ohio 3 (6 inn.)
Records: U-M (5-0), Ohio (1-4)
Next U-M Event: Friday, Feb. 18 -- vs. Long Island - FAU Kick-Off Classic (Boca Raton, Fla.), 4 p.m.
HOUSTON, Texas -- The No. 11-ranked University of Michigan softball team wrapped its season-opening tournament in similarly dominant fashion as it began it, earning a 16-3, six-inning decision over Ohio on the third and final day of the Houston Hilton Plaza Invitational on Sunday (Feb. 13) at Cougar Stadium.
Senior first baseman Dorian Shaw (Burke, Va./Robinson SS) paced the Wolverines from the plate, going 2-for-3 with a home run -- already her third of the season -- and a pair of walks. Junior centerfielder Bree Evans (Bloomington, Calif./Rialto HS) also tallied two hits, going 2-for-5 with two runs scored. Shaw and Evans both tallied at least one hit in each of the Wolverines' games this weekend.
Sophomore RHP Stephanie Speierman (Columbia, Md./Hammond HS) earned the victory from the circle, improving to 3-0 on the year with a five-strikeout, five-hit effort through five innings. Senior RHP Jordan Taylor (Valencia, Calif./Valencia HS) entered in relief with the game already well in hand and struck out one of three batters faced.
Shaw provided her team its early advantage with a two-run shot in the first inning, following Evans' leadoff single up the middle with a right-centerfield bomb off the 3-2 pitch two batters later.
The Wolverines broke the game open with a six-run fourth inning -- all six runs coming with two outs -- and followed it with eight more runs in the next two frames to earn the run-rule margin. U-M took advantage of early Bobcat errors to put runners in scoring position for junior third baseman Amanda Chidester (Allen Park, Mich./Cabrini HS), who smacked a two-run double in centerfield. Ohio brought in a new pitcher after back-to-back walks, but the move was short-lived as U-M scored three straight runs on illegal pitches before freshman catcher Caitlin Blanchard (Petersburg, Mich./Summerfield HS) smacked a run-scoring single through the right side to induce another pitching change.
Michigan scored on a run-scoring walk and senior rightfielder Alycia Ryan's (Morristown, N.J./Morristown HS) run-scoring single in the fifth before using three two-run hits to tack on another six runs in the sixth, including a two-run double from sophomore second baseman Ashley Lane (Escondido, Calif./Escondido HS), who ended the weekend with three extra-base hits.
The Bobcats earned their runs on a run-scoring groundout in the first and a pair of run-scoring hits in the fifth.
The Wolverines will continue their early season tournament schedule next weekend (Fri-Sun., Feb. 18-20), heading to Boca Raton, Fla., for the annual FAU Kick-Off Classic -- and their first of three straight appearances in the Sunshine State. Michigan will open place against Long Island (4 p.m.) and host Florida Atlantic (6 p.m.) on Friday.
Michigan improved to 6-3 in the all-time series against Ohio. U-M has won the last four series games against the Bobcats.
The Wolverines outscored their opposition at the season-opening Houston Invitational, 59-11, in five games.
Senior first baseman Dorian Shaw upped her career home run tally to 49. She is 13 homers shy of Michigan's career home run leader Samantha Findlay (62, 2005-08).
Junior Amanda Chidester and sophomore Ashley Lane both boasted three multi-RBI games over the weekend tournament.
With three wins on the season, sophomore RHP Stephanie Speierman has already surpassed her win total from last season.

Commitment lacking on global warming
Kevin Rafferty looks at the irony of holding climate talks in an energy-guzzling nation where the government's inaction on global warming is symptomatic of the apathy affecting leaders everywhere
Related topics
Is it a savage irony or just a sick joke that the latest talks to try to reach an international agreement to curb the greenhouse gases that threaten our fragile planet have opened in Doha, the capital of Qatar - the worst polluter in the world in per capita emissions?
Delegates from 194 countries plus armies of experts from the United Nations and its agencies have started two weeks of creating a lot more hot air trying to find a successor agreement to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which was stillborn because the US signed it but refused to ratify it.
The hope is that Doha will be a stepping stone to a new climate change treaty, which will be agreed by 2015 but will not come into force until 2020.
Christiana Figueres, the executive secretary of the UN climate convention, has already prepared optimistic closing remarks for the Doha meeting. She told The New York Times: "I'm going to say: 'This is another firm step in the right direction, but the path is still a long road ahead.'"
If this is the best case, the world is in big trouble. Time is running out. Time has run out. All the scientific research points in the same direction - that the world is doomed to failure in its efforts to restrict the rise in the earth's temperatures to two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
The World Meteorological Organisation reported that greenhouse gases have reached a record 394 parts per million, way above the 280ppm of the pre-industrial era, and rising rapidly from the 389ppm levels of 2010.
The uncomfortable fact is that human beings are spewing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere faster than at any time in the past 55 million years. The World Bank warned this month that the world is on track to be four degrees higher, and some scientists claim scarily that the temperature rise may even reach six degrees.
The consequence is not merely that the earth will become unbearably hot. The rise in sea levels will mean some cities and countries may be swamped out of existence; others will have to live with regular storm surges metres high.
It is not merely writing on the wall. There have already been savage visitations from nature. China, India, Australia and Nigeria have suffered massive floods, while Britain had a drought in the spring and is now facing floods.
The sceptical US has seen its hottest year on record and blistered crops. The final stages of the US election campaign were interrupted by Hurricane Sandy, a superstorm that wreaked damage estimated at US$50 billion or more. Bloomberg Businessweek heralded the storm with a cover picture of floods and a bold headline that yelled: "It's Global Warming, Stupid!"
American politicians, wrapped up in immediate issues, rushed to give succour and aid to victims of Sandy, but failed to mention global warming, climate change or the threat to the earth in their bold promises to make the world right.
Qatar is a perfect host for climate change talks, given that it is a living, breathing testament to the oil- and gas-guzzling modern economy, offering free electricity, traffic jams of SUVs and a profusion of steel and glass high-rise buildings that have tamed the 40-50 degree heat into comfortable, air-conditioned bliss.
In consequence, Qatar is the world's biggest emitter of greenhouse gases per person, more than twice the US. But the government has no plans to take its own action on climate change.
At the global level, leaders are pussyfooting around. Even if they achieve agreement on a new protocol and implement it immediately, it will be too little and too late, as well as too costly.
Critic Dr Bjorn Lomborg, named as one of the world's top 100 thinkers by Foreign Policy magazine, made an important point in claiming: "An extremely optimistic Doha climate outcome could cost half a trillion dollars a year, with benefits of only three cents on the dollar." More controversially, he asserts that a successful conclusion of the other Doha discussions on trade, unfortunately almost as dead as a dodo, could lift developing countries by "US$3 trillion in 2020 and about US$100 trillion annually by the end of the century".
That is a useful reminder of the failure of political leaders from Beijing and Washington, to Brussels, Doha and Delhi, either to think ahead or to think outside the box.
There is no easy solution to the horror of climate change. One country or group of countries imposing a carbon tax is a false solution if industries then migrate to cheaper countries that do not impose a tax and the carbon emissions increase there.
What is needed is a mixture of heavy investment in clean energy and careful consideration of the possibilities of geo-engineering techniques that might launder carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from the air.
Most of all, it is time to take the issue of climate change seriously and put it on top of the global agenda, not for partial solution in 2015 going on for 2020. We are all in this together. As Hong Kong well knows, it cannot shrug off choking pollution from the mainland. But where are the brave thinkers who will prod the politicians to realise that this is a global problem affecting us all - African, American, Asian, European, rich or poor - and needs to be tackled now?

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?

I called Attorney Studstill as a last resort; after I felt the insurance company was not negotiating in good faith. It was the best call I ever made. Haynes made my life so much easier. She handled EVERYTHING. Throughout; she kept me informed and her dedication, professionalism and integrety was obvious. I totally felt that she had MY best interest and she NEVER compromised that. She always took time to explain procedures and always left it up to me as to the direction I wanted to pursue.
I would 100% reccomend Attorney Studstill. Zero complaints.
Posted by Lynn
Ms. Studstill assisted me in the transfer of real estate to my sons. She advised me on several pros and cons of deeding a farm to my sons or placing them on the deed with me. She provided me with sound advice and handled the transaction flawlessly at a reasonable rate. I would highly recommend her and would not hesitate to use her services again if I need legal advice or representation.

I bought some mags for my Armalite AR chambered in 7.62x39 and I was function checking the new mags by manually cycling some ammo and it smelled like something was burning so I stopped and was looking for the source. I never found out for sure what it was but while I was checking everything out I was looking at the bullets that I had cycled through and I noticed that they had light primer strikes on them, some of them two strikes(cycled through more than once). This is definitely not normal right? Should I be contacting Armalite? I hope the burning smell was not one of the primers partially going off.....that could have been bad.

These have been used during Communion and as a backing to a prayer. I have heard one of the longer pieces played at an organ recital by a professional organist.

Trade and Investment
There are three main areas of work in the WTO on trade and investment:
- A Working Group established in 1996 conducts analytical work on the relationship between trade and investment.
- The Agreement on Trade-Related Investment Measures (TRIMs Agreement), one of the Multilateral Agreements on Trade in Goods, prohibits trade-related investment measures, such as local content requirements, that are inconsistent with basic provisions of GATT 1994.
- The General Agreement on Trade in Services addresses foreign investment in services as one of four modes of supply of services.
