I have a 3.5 year old who recently started resisting his afternoon nap. He always went to sleep nursing, and after weaning (1 year ago) I bought my first stroller and we started taking walks to help him go to sleep. I've never forced it and he's always been willing. Recently, he's started resisting the stroller walk, but he really needs his nap still and will melt down around dinner time for hours, sometimes fall asleep in his soup, etc. Then he's up till midnight or later, which gets really rough for me.
I don't force things that are not safety issues, and I'd love for him to opt for the stroller walk himself, but at 3.5, I don't know that he can make the connection between how he is feeling and how much sleep he's had. It took me into my late 20s to make that connection, and by then I was a mama so there was no way I was going to get enough sleep ;o)
So what do you do when your young ones need to sleep and don't want to?
We go to the bedroom and lie down and if she keeps getting up I gently remind her that it is time for sleep and we will play later - repeat as many times as necessary.

Nursing is how my three year old naps. I cannot imagine how he would otherwise!
My son is like your child though, he would be asleep at the dinner table if he didn't nap , and then wake 3 hours later to be up until midnight.
Many, if not most, 3.5 have dropped or are in the process of dropping a nap. Maybe it is time to accept the change and focus on the rest of the schedule.
3 is a very normal age for a child to drop their nap naturally, although some will argue that. Some people firmly believe every child at age three needs a nap no matter what. But from what I observe many kids just drop it, and do fine. However....many drop it and seem to still need it, which is very tough.
My son isn't quite 3 yet (will be in a few months), and already some months ago he seemed to drop his nap. He started at a preschool where they have a nap and he usually naps there, although every couple weeks it'll happen that he can't sleep there either. I think the environment there and that every other kid is sleeping help him relax into sleep.
On the weekends the only thing that works for us is a drive in the car. He used to sleep in the stroller too but it seems he doesn't want to go in the stroller much anymore ~we rarely use it anyway but he resists if around midday I suggest a walk. So, we often plan weekend activities that we do something relatively active in the morning and plan to drive home around 1:00 and he'll usually fall asleep in the car....but not always! Other than that I do try to have a midday break and we go to bed and read. He doesn't fall asleep but it is a quiet rest which is better than nothing. Many parents implement a rest period with low lights and various rest "activities" (stories on CD, read books, listen to calming music) and find that even if their kids don't sleep they still benefit from the time out.
I know I could get more strict and do what Katelove does....but I know our "repeat as many times as necessary" would be for hours and likely still not result in sleep and even if....I do not want to spend hours of my afternoon trying to enforce a nap, I would end up frustrated. But I know that is the best option for some because their kids just totally melt down in the evening otherwise. My boy does get kinda grumpy from about 5-7....but nothing overly dramatic and for me I don;t mind dealing with that as much as I would trying to "make" him sleep.

When my milk dried up (DS was 2.5), I was panicked and felt like I had NO way of helping him rest, short of the car seat, and I didn't want to take him for a drive after lunch every day. The stroller has been amazing and he transitioned so well, that is, until he stopped wanting to ride in it! Last few days (after I relaxed a bit and realized I really do not want to force it), he's gone in with no complaint, but it's dicey some days for sure!
I've tried to believe that he is dropping the nap and that he may not need it anymore, and some days it seems that's true, and we might have an earlier bedtime, but he does just fine. Other days he is dramatic from one meltdown to another, screams that he can't walk, lies down on the floor, and is completely nonfunctional. I can be a calm presence and be there for him and help him through it all, but after a few hours it sure is exhausting!!
When our DD dropped her nap she was a lot like your son sounds.
Some days she would be fineish, and others the evenings were hell with meltdowns etc.
She needed to drop the nap, but still needed to have a nap.
It worked itself out after a few weeks. We moved dinner and bedtime up a bit earlier at first. And then gradually moved it back again.
She now sleeps 8pm to 7-7:30am
But when she was dropping the nap, we put her to bed at 6-6:30pm. If she got too over tired it was hell and she would be up too late.
Maybe try having rest period. She would say she wasn;t tired. We would tell her that she didn't have to sleep but just rest. Some days she would fall asleep.
The only down fall to her dropping naps is that now if she happens to have a nap, even for 20 minutes, it pushes her bedtime later by hours. But she wakes at the same time. So she becomes sleep diprived. So now we can not let her nap even for a few minutes.

My daughter is almost three (in June) and sometimes isn't crazy about taking a nap, but I have a one year old boy too, and I would die if it weren't for their joint nap at 1ish every day! Anyway, what I tell her is that it's quiet time, and she needs to get some rest so she will be happy later. I let her have a couple toys and books in bed, and tell her she can play or read quietly if she wants, but she's not allowed to get off of the bed. I can tell if she does because her room is upstairs, and if she is stomping around I go back up and make her get back in bed. I don't even have to do that anymore now, because after a few minutes of reading or playing, she falls asleep anyway.
So my advice would be to maybe change the name, I call it resting, or quiet time. And just put him in his bed and let him know he can play quietly. Leaving my daughter alone is what really seals the deal. If I were in there, she would just want to play. But I hear boys can be rowdier than girls, so this may not work for you! But you could try!
Napping is also largely cultural:
All infants 12 months and under took naps. By age 3, about 50% of kids took naps. Thirty-five percent of 4-year olds took naps (Iglowstein et al 2003).
The Swiss data are probably consistent with practices in other Northern European and Anglo cultures—-cultures where daytime sleep is discouraged for older children and adults (e.g., Iceland: Thorleifsdottir et al 2002).
But the truth is that human beings are very flexible about when and how they meet their sleep requirements.
In many parts of the world, napping is a normal part of life for children and adults (Worthman and Melby 2002). In fact, the historical and anthropological evidence suggests that humans were designed to get their sleep in at least two separate shifts (Worthman and Melby 2003; Ekirch 2005).
So the Swiss study is not representative of kids living in "pro-napping" or "siesta" cultures around the Mediterranean and in Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
For instance, in Saudi Arabia, napping is common among older kids. According to a study of school-age children in Riyadh, 45% of 13-year olds take regular naps (BaHamman et al 2006).
And even in countries where napping is discouraged by the mainstream, specific ethnic groups may encourage napping. In the Southern United States, African-American kids are much more likely to nap—and to nap more frequently—than are European American kids (Crosby et al 2005). In one study, 40% of African-Americans were still taking naps at 8 years of age (Crosby et al 2005).
we nap! and love it
my DD had to stop at 6 but didn't want to and my now 5 year old still takes a daily along with me or DH- now way at 3 would either do without- at 3 they both were still taking 2 naps a day
I find it extremely beneficial to them and still go to bed at 8PM to 7:30AM- we don't have meltdowns and cranky dinners either- never did.
there was a recent thread in childhood about napping - http://www.mothering.com/community/t/1369728/naps-vs-social-times-for-a-4-year-old
ETA- a friend of mine, her granddaughter is in a public all day K and they have to take a nap each afternoon at school

My DS (3) is also in the process of dropping his afternoon nap too...unfortunately mama is in the third trimester and desperately needs some downtime in the afternoon, so he has to spend an hour alone in his room, so I can lay down for awhile and recover enough to face the evening.
Some days he seems to do fine without one, and others are pretty trying (endless whining all evening, icky behavior, clearly tired, etc), but on the plus side, I was able to move his bedtime forward a bit so I have a bit more time to myself in the evening.
Don't know what I'm going to do with this poor kid when the baby comes...
Thanks to everyone for the wonderful advice. If DS doesn't fall asleep during stroller walk, I tell him I need a 20 minute nap and I set the timer, and ask him to make it possible for me to rest. He doesn't need to be in bed because I make it about me. And truthfully, on those days, it really is about me. I nap with DS every day (that he naps anyway) and when I don't get MY nap, I have a hard time around bedtime--so I'm holding onto it as much for me as for him. Last night we were up a lot (he is covered in chigger bites, ugh), and today we both slept for hours--I have no clue when we'll go to sleep tonight but hopefully the big rest will give us energy to deal with it...
I know some people can leave their kids alone and do the stay in bed thing, but DS from birth has been so attached to me he literally screams if I leave the room of our own house without him. I love calling it resting time though and having some quiet time, and that really does seem to help, at least to keep energy low.
I am going to check out those links--I love learning about what people in other cultures do--I read an article on bedtimes a long time ago and was thrilled to hear that in some countries, kids just stay up with adults and fall asleep whenever they're tired (which is what we did until DS really starting wanting to be on a schedule--not my style, but that's okay)
No clue what I would do if I had another child, either, and I'd like to at some point...double stroller maybe? ;o)
My 15mo DD is going through a shift in nap times (she's starting to skip a nap and goes betweeen 1-2x a day) and in the process doesn't just go to sleep like she used to - she will ask to nurse while rubbing her eyes, but as soon as she's done she's up and on the run. So what I've done is offer it up as quiet time. She goes in her room into her crib and I give her different books or a few quiet toys and she will usually play for 20mins or so before she puts herself to sleep. I know she's far too young to not nap, and on the days she only naps once in the afternoon, it's an earlier bedtime. So a 2 nap day is 8pm bed, where a 1 nap day might be 6 or 7pm, depending how well she holds herself together. I also find I have to put her in her room when she's not "tired" bc she's more accepting of being left to play and sleep vs being tired and cranky and refusing to go down no matter how many times or how I nurse her.

You recently called being the presenter of Desert Island Discs "officially the best job in radio". Can you explain why that is true?
There's nothing more fascinating than the human experience, so the opportunity to meet people whose lives have somehow been beyond normal human experience is a gift for me. If you are talking to the guy who discovered DNA sequencing or to AC Grayling about philosophy and you balls that up then you must be really bad at your job. I don't have to interview a soap star about a fitness video; I'm talking to people who have had these extraordinary experiences. I have been given all the best possible tools to work with.
The two most popular non-classical records chosen by castaways are the rather self-justificatory "Non, je ne regrette rien" and "My Way". Do you think people view the show as a definitive interview?
Some people do, but I very much hope they don't. In a way, that's the joy of the format; it elastically stretches around what people – I don't flatter myself too much – are prepared to talk about their lives.
I remember George Michael saying: "I'm ready to be totally honest" and he did answer every single question and there was no flinching. Some people certainly see it as inscribing their life on a grey stone tablet and I would say those are the less good programmes.
If you could only do TV or radio for the rest of your life, which would you choose?
Radio. Television is a lot of fuss; there's a lot of cushioning between what you do and what reaches the people who are watching it. With radio, it's much more immediate and I much more directly feel what I can put out as a programme and that's quite satisfying in its own ravingly egotistical way. Also, you don't have all the make-up cobblers; as a woman, that's a big and very boring part of the job.
Wasn't there a point in 2007, when you were still doing Five News, where you had to make that call?
I had taken too much on. I was working more than five days a week doing the news and Desert Island Discs and I had just had my second baby and my husband started travelling a lot and I thought: "Well, something's going to give and it's probably going to be me." Of course, it was not a bread-line struggle. I was fortunate in that my husband [Soho House members club founder Nick Jones] has a very good job and I was giving up one good job and keeping one good job, so how would you describe it? It was a penthouse problem, but it was a real problem because I had two young kids and I was overloaded.
As a result of your television documentaries – The British at Work and The British Family – you seem to have become the voice for women in modern Britain. Are you happy with that responsibility?
Oh God, I don't know how that's happened. As somebody who interviews for a living, I feel that when somebody asks me a question I don't want to give a bland answer. So when people ask me: "What do you think about tutoring after school?" or: "What do you think about a working woman's lot?" then I will absolutely endeavour to give them a truthful answer. But I'm only a jobbing broadcaster, not a self-appointed spokesperson; that idea fills me with horror.
Most people would imagine that you have a very glamorous life…
Tell me what you imagine and I'll tell you if you've got it right.
Well, do you spend much time in the Soho House empire?
My life is an odd combination of flying to Cannes to be Mrs Jones for their very glamorous party at a villa in Antibes and cleaning the dogshit out of my daughter's trainers. I do both of those things. Because of Nick and his business, there are moments when you think: "This is ridiculously glamorous", "What a laugh", "Isn't this odd?" but that's not most of my life. Most of my life is preparing for my work and making sure my kids have taken their allergy tablets.
The results of Your Desert Island Discs – where members of the public nominated their eight records – are revealed next Saturday. Do you expect the nation to have good taste?
Yes, I do. I don't expect "The Birdy Song" to be in there for example. I would be very, very surprised if there was any Peters and Lee, but we shall see and that's going to be the joy of it. It's not a vote because it's entirely self-selecting, but it will be an interesting little tranche of the listening habits of the day and I'm kind of fascinated by that.
Returning to Edith Piaf "regretting nothing", do you have any mistakes that you would care to admit to?
Oh God, how many do you want me to talk about? I think one of the greatest learning curves in my life has been being a step-parent – I have two of my own kids and two very lovely stepkids and I thought I knew how to do that and I found out that I didn't and I had to learn how to do it. That's a big one for me, probably the biggest one.
Can you pass on any advice about step-parenting?
Well, it's lose-lose, and you have to think about it in an intelligent way and not be formulaic about it. It takes a lot of time and it can be emotionally straining, but in the long term I think it's a very interesting relationship to have. I made well-intentioned but none the less mistakes in the first few years and I didn't expect that, but there you go and I learned a lot from that. But that's a whole other interview.

JVC Adixxion Action Cam
Since the point-of-view camera took off in popularity, I wondered when and how the big electronic brands would enter the market. With Sony and JVC both recently joining the market with competitively spec'd and priced cameras it's clear, at least on paper, that the long-monopolized market has some competition. I tested the JVC Adixxion Action Cam to see if it could hold a candle to the tried-and-true POV brands like GoPro.
The most important features for a POV camera, aside from video quality, to me, are mounting options, ease of operation, size and durability.
The mounting options for the JVC were really nice, but had some downfalls. The two tripod mounts on the Adixxion makes it super versatile beyond the stock mounting hardware, and effectively eliminates the need to add extra joints—which often translate to jiggle in videos—when mounting camera to the sides of helmets or vehicles. The ball-and-socket mounting configuration offers easy infinite adjustment which is really nice for un-level mounting locations, however I never felt quite satisfied with how tight I could get it. While it never actually slipped on me, it just didn't feel secure. The mounting bracket is also quite obtrusive, even without the camera or the ball-and-socket assembly attached.
In contrast to the large mounting hardware, the small size of the Adixxion's camera is impressive, considering JVC managed to slap an LCD screen on to the side of it, as well as having two tripod mounds.
All in all, I found the camera to be quite intuitive. It has an easy-to-reach power button and a record button that was easy to hit even while wearing thick gloves. The Wi-Fi Sync mobile app worked well too, though I wasn't able to find the app by searching for JVC in the App Store; I had to search for Adixxion. The playback on the camera's built-in 1.5-inch LCD screen is good, but I would like some volume control here.
The construction of the JVC seemed nice and sturdy. I didn't test the Adixxion's waterproof abilities aside from a few splashes, however JVC claims the camera is waterproof in up to a little over 16 feet of water without an additional housing. Nice. The lack of a case does pose an issue in regard to the lens' scratch resistance. I've scratched the lens on almost every GoPro case I've ever used, usually a result of laying my helmet down in the dirt. The JVC's lens is recessed, which will help against scratches, but if it does managed to get scuffed, I'd imagine it's a bit more expensive to fix than buying a new plastic case.
While JVC claims that the Adixxion is freeze-proof, the camera's cold weather performance fell short. My test camera completely locked up in the cold weather (at about 15 degrees Fahrenheit) and ignored any input that I'd give it—even holding down the power button. The only solution I could find to this was to pull out the camera's battery and put it back in to hard-restart it.
Overall video quality on the JVC is good, which, given JVC's reputation in the hand-held video camera world, is no surprise. Images are sharp and clear, and stabilization seemed good with minimal vibrations or loss in quality of the image. I did have one video file become corrupted and refuse to copy over to my computer (perhaps due to the cold-weather lockup), but I was able to recover it with a video converter program.
I really liked the JVC Adixxion action cam for its sturdy construction, mounting options, user interface, and video quality, but some of its flaws could be a bit tough to overlook for some—especially those who want to use the camera regularly in cold climates.
Raw footage from the Adixxion can be found here: Please note that audio levels haven't been touched, so be careful if you are wearing headphones, as there is a bit of a volume spike in the video.

Huge habitat, my rats have plenty of room. We actually put extra grating down to turn this into two separate cages to keep our boys and girls separate. They have plenty of room and seem really happy! There is plenty of room to hang hammocks and chew toys, and our girls seem to have a blast running, jumping and climbing all over the place. Putting it together was pretty simple, too. It took my husband and I about 10 minutes! Well worth the money!

Listen up my avian friends i never thought in a million years that i'd be purchasing a critter cage for my fids. But i have to tell you with bar spacing at 1/2in in diameter and the ladder included along with the shelf this REALLY can be used for birds...!!! It's very EASILY modified into a very nice indoor/outdoor aviary. My IRN or Indian Ringneck & Green-Cheek Conure have PLENTY of room in this cage to move around and it's extremely strong & durable. Sure there are no "designated places" for stainless steel food & water dishes but again i stress the word "modify". All you do is purchase the stainless steel dishes that attach with a wing nut to the outside of the cage and VIOLA your done it's that simple...!!! The only reason i didn't rate this 5 stars is because there is no pull-out tray and i HIGHLY suggest you wait to clean the tray until your birds are safely back indoors but that's common sense anyways. Listen folks, i've spent the last 30yrs in the avian field having "hands on" experience with both wild & exotic pet species. And i can tell you without hesitation that this cage is solidly built and at an AWESOME PRICE AND CAN BE SAFELY & EASILY MODIFIED FOR BIRDS TO USE...!!! That's the main reason i got this because it has 90% of the "functionality" of a regular bird cage minus the pull-out tray. However, how many bird cages out there this size can you get for this price that includes; locking wheel castors, 1/2in bar spacing, extremely durable and strong wire, beautiful finish, and most importantly a cage with HORIZONTAL BARS ALL THE WAY AROUND which birds need more than anything else. Vertical bars are horrible on parrots that are trying to climb around since they slide right down them. However, this cage doesn't have that major issue which is PERFECT for parrots that love to climb and it's a no wonder they love being in it. Some other "minor" modifications i've done was adding a happy/snuggle hut, any toys were VERY easy to hang from the top, and i can even say if you have a small wooden play stand that in itself could "probably" fit right inside of this cage. There are just so many possibilities with this cage for birds and most importantly it's safe. I would NEVER put my fids in harm's way and i researched this cage from top to bottom for any flaws that birds might come across being put into this thing and i couldn't find anything that would warrant not using it for them. So if your looking for a cheap cage that with a "little" modifying can be turned into a great indoor/outdoor bird cage don't hesitate in purchasing it you won't be disappointed...!!! Oh and one last very important note, i would NOT put any birds larger than what i have inside of this cage. In other words, no smaller than a Lovebird and no bigger than an Indian Ringneck or similar sized Conure.

Don't bother with the rest. Get this one. My 13 YO son set this up in about an hour without my help and his chinchilla loves the space. Would have loved it more if the cage had 2-inch solid wall guards that prevents the bedding from being kicked out the cage and on the floor,

Over all the cage is a great for the price. The tray could use a little more higher on the side cause the beding still fall of from the side.

Considering he's such a high priority for Mississippi State, the two coaches felt more than just excitment.
"They told me it was a relief for them and that they could finally calm down," said Watson with a slight laugh. "They told me that they had been wanting me. And they said they were real happy."
It was also somewhat of a relief to him, partly due to the uncertainly that came with a change in coaching staffs at Mississippi State.
"I have been going to Mississippi State ever since I was 12 and that has always been the place for me, but when (former MSU head) Coach (Ron) Polk and his coaches left I was a little worried because I hadn't heard from them," said Watson. "But Coach Thompson and Coach Cohen came there and I talked to them. And I really liked them a lot."
And it didn't hurt that he and MSU pitching coach Butch Thompson have something in common.
"Coach Thompson is a lefthander," said Watson. "And with him being the pitching coach and me being lefthanded that's great."
Watson chose MSU over numerous other high-profile schools.
"I had offers from Alabama, Auburn, College of Charleston, Mississippi State, and LSU was going to offer me tomorrow when I went down to Lakeland," said Watson, who is headed to Lakeland to participate in the East Coast Showcase. "Georgia said they were going to watch me pitch in Lakeland, then after that they were going to make me an offer."
If you are wondering why there is such strong interest in the lefty, what he did in a tournament held Sunday afternoon at the University of Alabama will answer your question.
"I pitched Sunday at Alabama and I was hitting 95 (miles per hour)," said the youngster, who, in addition to Mississippi State, also unofficially visited Auburn and Alabama. "I think I was around 91 to 95."
C.C. Watson is Mississippi State's fifth commitment in the class of 2009. Others include Tupelo High School righthander Chris Stratton, South Panola High School first baseman Ethan Bright, Briarwood Christian infielder/pitcher Ben Bracewell and Benjamin Russell High School righthanded pitcher Kendall Graveman.

Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds
Game Review
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see how video games and comic books might appeal to the same audience. And video game titan Capcom leveraged that observation to the max in 1998, with the release of its game Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Superheroes.
The arcade version (followed by ports for Sony's PlayStation and Sega's Dreamcast consoles) plopped players into the spandex of classic Marvel Comics heroes (and villains) as they went head-to-head against an array of characters from Capcom's popular games, the Street Fighter titles chief among them. A sequel soon followed (Marvel vs. Capcom: New Age of Heroes).
It was arguably the high-water mark for a genre that, despite its all-combat-all-the-time orientation, was steadily losing ground to the fast-growing popularity of shooters. So fast-forward 11 years, and Capcom has decided that the hard-core fans of the series (who, remarkably, are still playing a game more than a decade old in tournaments!) deserved an update.
From Mashing to Mastery
Update, of course, doesn't mean brand new. And the template—firmly established by the Street Fighter franchise back in the 1990s—is pretty simple: Characters face off against each other horizontally, unleashing all manner of martial arts, melee maneuvers and special powers in an attempt to knock everybody else out.
In MvC3, Capcom has amped everything up to such insane levels of frenetic, attention-deficit-creating craziness that it makes just about any other form of entertainment you can think of feel like swimming in a tar pit. Whether playing online against remote opponents or offline against the AI, players choose three warriors from among 36 (counting some that have to be downloaded) on the Marvel and Capcom rosters.
On the Marvel side, available heroes and villains include household names such as Spider-Man, Wolverine, Captain America and Magneto, along with more obscure folks such as Shuma-Goratha, M.O.D.O.K. and X-23. Representing Capcom are Street Fighter vets Ryu, Chun-Li, Crimson Viper and Akuma, as well as Darkstalkers' Morrigan Aensland, Resident Evil's Albert Wesker and Chris Redfield, and Devil May Cry's Dante and Trish. Note: Despite what the game's title suggests, you can freely mix and match characters from both sides on your team.
Then the button mashing begins. And I do mean button mashing.
MvC3 is the first game I've played in a long time that left me feeling like I might have an asthma attack and develop carpal tunnel syndrome right now! I played my fair share of Street Fighter games back in the day, but the explosive, frantic nature of gameplay here feels like someone jumped repeatedly on the fast-motion button. Up to two of your three characters can engage in combat at any time. Rounds last but a few minutes, with one team emerging victorious to taunt the other.
I didn't bother to read the instructions—I just started pushing buttons as wildly as I possibly could after sliding the disc in. In just a few minutes, I intuitively sorted out how to switch the main character I wanted fighting, as well as how to call in a secondary attack from one of my team members on the sideline. And, as long as I kept mashing those buttons like mad, I mostly kept winning.
In this sense, Capcom's latest fighter feels more accessible to novices. But once players get past what I might euphemistically call the game's initial "Hulk SMASH" stage, you've got to hone those combat skills by investing a whole lot more time investigating the intricacies.
Sensual Spirituality
And that adds up to a whole lot more exposure to some of MvC3's less than healthy imagery and messages.
You might think the main concern with a fighting game like this one would be its onscreen violence. And while there's plenty of that, the contest feels more like an old-fashioned comic book than a level of Mortal Kombat. There's no blood or gore, for one thing. And when defeated opponents are knocked out, they simply disappear, arcade style. Perhaps the most gruesome violence, then, happens when certain characters set others (briefly) on fire.
But there are other problem areas. Nearly all the female characters wear skintight uniforms over their exaggerated figures. But in some cases, we get more form than uniform. Take Morrigan, for instance. Her top—and it's a Herculean feat of exaggeration to label it that—barely even bothers to extend to her enormous breasts.
And Morrigan knows it, too. When one team wins, the final character fighting on the victorious side gets to lob a taunt at the losers. Morrigan's is, "I'm so glad that you wanted to take us on. But you didn't have what it takes to satisfy me."
Players digging deeper into the game's features will find a 3-D gallery of every character—not good in the case of someone like Morrigan—as well as a brief backstory. Morrigan's informs us, "She is a succubus, a demonic creature able to seduce men. She is well known for her voluptuous figure and her titillating clothing. Although she is head of the Aensland house, one of the three major houses of the demon world, she often abandons her dull duties to go looking for excitement."
Occult references don't end there. A fire-headed entity known as Dormammu quips, "Your crude understanding of the rudimentary black arts is infantile." Elsewhere the game says of him, "All those who are connected to the dark arts are gathered and ready to serve you."
Factor in some mild profanity ("a‑‑," "d‑‑n," "h‑‑‑") and I had no choice but to take off, throw down and grind to bits the rose-colored glasses I was wearing when I first started my trip down the Capcom and Marvel memory lane.

(early) merry christmas to you.
it's cool to visualise sofware sales being transformed into hardware!!
i seem to recall someone suggesting an area on the forums accessible only to authors. would that be a step in the right direction?
I personally think it may be more beneficial if the price and rate were split into their own columns and removed from the details column. But outside of that, I cant see anything really blaring wrong with this.The date is also in some weird format and I don't know how to make it work as a date, I tried, but without success…
wahey, there you go, a few suggestions to give them an idea of what you're after.
you can be more precise when you get a free hour
if you can't make suggestions as to what format you'd like it to be then how do you expect anything to change.
CLIENT : "re-design my website"
DESIGNER : "can you provide me with some re-design suggestions"
CLIENT : "no, just re-design it"
DESIGNER : "there you go"
CLIENT : "that's nothing like what i wanted"
I must admit i've not enough sales to use it yet, but could you post up column headings of what you'd like it to be?
tried it there and can see you'd have to do a bit of work to cleanse it into workable raw data.
maybe if we all make suggestions, some mods can be made
Belfast here, no snow as yet and as i walk to work i'm happy about that!
the only judge on "miss universe"
yeah i'm with jonathan here…
it's a marketplace, therefore the simple rules of demand and supply will follow. cu3er is starting to reach saturation point now (i.e. oversupply) therefore authors will either naturally move on to another technology, or those that don't will see lower returns on their work.
Either way – if you're an author getting upset at all the cu3er designs, just provide an alternative
Kind of minimal, more 'decoupage' this is my favourite web design out there (nav at the bottom): http://www.tadaya.net/
holy hook, nice find
this is probably the funniest thread i've ever seen on TF!
a themeforest author giving the most basic of advise, and do so incorrectly…
Merry Christmas

text: It was a random idea I had, my friend and I were talking about doing steampunk pin-up girls, but she kind of moved onto another idea, and I thought a steampunk celebrity would be cool! I'm not really sure how to go about it, though. I'd probably do a variation of her dress from the seven year itch because it's the most recognizable. I dunno, I'm not very creative. >.< Any suggestions on how to make it more steampunky?

9-30-2012 Intel Guru Hammerman About an hour ago [approximately 6:15 central] they sent out an alert of the pending revaluation of Indonesian countries. So we wait and see. Something should happen in the next few days, would it surprise me if it didn't, no, we have been here before. Sources in Iraq confirm that official documentation from the CBI is stating that Iraq would be worth at least equivelent to the USD in 2 to 12 working days. I am hearing that Bagdad will be blacked out tomorrow on intel coming out & security has been pumped up. All news is good…we are close to the end of this ride. Everything out of Iraq says they will be revalued in the next few days, time will tell. [post 2 of 2]
9-30-2012 Intel Guru Hammerman Ban Ki Moon officially took them out of Chapter 7 and he said that the Iraqi dinar will be at least equivelent to the USD in the next few days. Since last Thursday banks have expected this revaluation, they have people on overtime. All the ministers are seated & I am still hearing that they did the National Conference but I can't prove it. I am hearing they did announce the Erbil and the HCL. I have seen with my own eyes documentation from the IMF & UST, telling bankers to be on high alert of no less than 5 countries to revalue before midnight tonight. Before that, banks were told to be on high alert for pending revalue of multiple countries. [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Rescue Stories & Where are they now? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/rescue-stories-where-they-now/)
- - Misty blind and losing control of her legs. (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/rescue-stories-where-they-now/458386-misty-blind-losing-control-her-legs.html)
Misty blind and losing control of her legs.
We rescued Misty from a monster. He went to prison who pushing his pregnant wife out of a moving car. He tortured Misty. He choked her until he cut off oxygen to her brain. She was mostly blind at 6 months when we got her. She eventually became totally blind. Even now she still hates for anyone to touch her feet. She cries when she has her toe nails cut. Misty is now over 12 and can hardly walk. She is falling down as her hind legs and front leg fail her. She cries and moans a lot from the pain. We treat the pain. I can't stand to see her suffer.
We have made the decision to put her to sleep. She is such a sweetie. My heart is broken once more. Alas, there is room for a new dog to take up residence in my heart. I am so glad we were able to give her the love and care she needed. I am looking for another GSD in the Pacific Northwest area. I would like to find a rescue GSD in the next week or so. The dog will have to get along with our English Springer Spaniel who is also blind. I do not want another blind dog. I had three blind dogs for a while. Probably a female.... doesn't have to be a pup, probably would prefer a dog with some training. Anyone know of a dog please let me know. Older is ok. I have gotten two dogs through this forum over the years. Thanks for any help given.
I am so sorry you have come to the point where your girl is to rest, but I rejoice that she did not live with that monster but rather knew love and kindness. What you have done for her is wonderful. You will easily find a GSD to rescue and bring a new love to share. Best wishes. My thoughts are with you and Misty.
Thanks Cara. A dog that comes to live with us is going to be spoiled rotten. Most likely... rarely alone or just with Marty our Springer. I am disabled and confined to the house because of pollution. They are with me just about 24/7. I want to think about a new dog so Misty will not feel how upset I am. She is an amazing dog considering what was done to her. My husband and I are very upset about Misty but we know it is time. No sense in her suffering.
Wow three blind dogs? That's incredible and bless you and also, so sorry for your loss. But you know you did an incredible job!
I am getting ready to make the call to set up Misty's appointment. I can barely see the keys to type. Thanks Chip 18 for your comment. I know I don't visit here often. I know this is one place I can share my grief and people will understand. Anyone knowing a GDS who needs good home in the pacific Northwest. Please let me know. I know that someone has a baby (not specifically a puppy actually prefer not a puppy) out there for us to love and comfort, play with and share our home with. I can't put off calling the vet any longer. Thanks everyone in advance for your support.
I am so sorry to hear about Misty's condition. You have helped give three dogs a forever family and rescued Misty from a horrible existence. I believe that letting go is the hardest but most generous thing we can do for these beautiful loving companions. Take care.
I am so sorry for Misty's condition. She had a wonderful life and she is very lucky to have you. Hang in there...
Three blind dogs, that is tough. Hopefully a new pup will come your way soon.
I'm sorry to read this. Thank you for giving Misty such a loving home for the time she had with you.
We put Misty to sleep yesterday. I cried even my husband had a tear or two. I found out that Becky doesn't do well with other dogs. So I am going to have to forget her. Anyone know of a female GSD over a year prefer some training, crate, leash, and housebroken. I can train the rest of the commands if needed. Must like or be able to get along with our 13 year old, blind, English Springer Spaniel. A rescue In the Pacific Northwest area. We have no kids, no cats. Nor do we get any children visitors. We have a fences back yard but it is terraced and not for our blind ESS. He would run into the terraces and fall down the terraces. We know how he is. The yard would be alright for a sighted dog. I bought a gate to close off our covered front porch so we can sit out side with the dogs and not worry about them running off. We, of course would never leave them outside alone on the porch. Thanks for all the support about Misty.
I am sorry for your loss of Misty. So glad she had a long loving life with you. I'm sure she'll help in sending the right dog your way.

Related Poem Content Details
Of all the major literary figures in the twentieth century, Ezra Pound has been one of the most controversial; he has also been one of modern poetry's most important contributors. In an introduction to the Literary Essays of Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot declared that Pound "is more responsible for the twentieth-century revolution in poetry than is any other individual." Four decades later, Donald Hall reaffirmed in remarks collected in Remembering Poets that "Ezra Pound is the poet who, a thousand times more than any other man, has made modern poetry possible in English."
The importance of Pound's contributions to the arts and to the revitalization of poetry early in this century has been widely acknowledged; yet in 1950, Hugh Kenner could claim in his groundbreaking study The Poetry of Ezra Pound, "There is no great contemporary writer who is less read than Ezra Pound." Pound never sought, nor had,...

I hired Megan to work on a spousal immigration application for my spouse to come from Mexico. We just filed the petition last week, so we don't have the results yet, however I am confident that the results will be positive. Megan was very responsive to all my questions the entire time (and I ask lots of questions). At the beginning she told us of any concerns she had that might cause issues with the application. I apprecieate her honestly. Throughout the process of gathering the information and putting the information together she always would email me status updates of where she was at with the petition, which I appreciate because I always like know everything that is going on. I've worked with a couple other lawyers in other countries for immigration but Megan is the first I feel confortable with and I really trust. Thank you Megan and your entire office staff for the excellent job you do!

A family member recommended me over and over again Megan Lantz because of the great work she did with his case. After the first consultation she explained on what we could do about my case and it really seems like she went the extra mile or two to back up my case before sending any paperwork. Also she was great answering some questions over the phone and email while she was working in my case. I can't recommend her enough.

My husband and I met Megan a little more than a year ago. She has been so helpful and professional in helping us with our case and she truly does care about her clients. We are so blessed to have her as our lawyer. I wouldn't trade having her as our lawyer for anything.

I met Megan in 2010 and she has been amazing with helping my family. She is trustworthy and very professional I would recommend her to my friends and family.

Megan is a wonderful person, besides a wonderful professional, I had her take my case back in Dec. 2007, and now with my husband since July 2013. She has been very helpful, always on top of things, making sure we had everything we need it, you could tell that she really got involve in my case, she showed knowledge, willingness to help and put effort into it. She is the best lawyer I have seen, she actually cares for her clients.

Attorney Lantz was very professional and polite with my immigration case. She would inform me in advance if she needed extra information from us to help our case move forward. I recommend her a lot and will keep recommending her.

Since I first met Megan she came off as a person and a lawyer I could trust and put my faith into her hands. She made me feel comfortable with everything I was going through and made me feel safe and believe that she would do anything to help me out and get through the nightmare I was going through. She was very helpful and made everything easy for me to understand. She is the kind of lawyer that interacts with her clients and keeps dating well informed of case and what the next step is to have a successful case. When I thought there was nobody out there for me to help me out she was the one that stepped in and told me how I didn't do anything wrong and how we were going to prove that I was a good person and how she was going to help me out to get my visa and my status here in the United States. I've recommended her to people before and I will continue to do this because she is the type of lawyer that everybody should have. I owe her a lot and she's a very outstanding and knowledgeable lawyer and person as well. The way she works in her cases is impressive and the way she interacts with her clients is flawless, she is what I call a very successful lawyer.

I highly recommend Megan Lantz. Megan and Staff/Barten Law Firm take the VERY BEST of care for their clients. Her and her team are 100 percent professional and thorough! ALL paperwork is 100 percent accurate -- with all copies made for YOUR records and THEIRS. ALL questions are 100 percent honest -- which is VERY important for anybody in need of an attorney, you will NOT get the run-around and ALL work for you is done promptly -- NO need to worry about lack of communication.
The relationship you will have with Miss. Lantz is 100 billion percent perfection. My personal experience with Miss. Lantz has always been nothing but excellent. She embodies everything you would want and need in an attorney. Sometimes it can be very overwhelming searching for the right person to represent you, and trust me I've had my fair share of 'scamming, no working, money hungry' attorneys BUT i personally guarantee that will NOT happen here.
Everything Miss. Lantz does for you is done with great integrity and real care for her clients. My personal case has been completed for months now and to this day she has ALWAYS responded to me if I've had any other questions. In fact, recently i emailed her a one liner question and within minutes I received an e-mail from her saying "hey, can I call you?" Miss. Megan cares that much that she goes the extra mile. You automatically know you can trust her. She wants to make sure all her clients know they are cared for and they are going to get the very best of advice as well as truth.
With Miss. Lantz you NEVER have to worry. By nature i'm a worry wart and control freak, I always think I have to find out how things are running, if it's done right etc., when working with Megan you NEVER have to worry OR question if things are running smoothly. If she is on the phone to you saying "I have your signature from a fax i'm sending it off today" guess what? It's going to be sent that day and you'll know because you'll get either that e-mail copy or paper copy sent via-mail.
Due to her work and expertise my family and I are able to be happy and successful citizens to this country. I know my relationship with Megan will be everlasting. I refuse to have anyone else representing me, my friends, or family. She has helped change my life/lifestyle in more ways then she could ever imagine. I have NOTHING but great things to say about Miss. Lantz and her work.
You might have a lot of things in life such as a good car, and a good house, but when it comes to an attorney you NEED the BEST with that said i know you need Megan Lantz. Like Tina Turner sings "YOUR SIMPLY THE BEST, BETTER THAN ALL THE REST!"

Megan was my savior! She is the reason my husband is in the united states today. i could not have done this process with out her. matter of fact i had no clue where to start. A year and a half ago my husband was deported back to mexico. I was an emotional wreck as i was pregnant and i was reffered to Megan through another friend. I was very sceptical at first as i heard all immigration lawyers will lead you on as to getting the help you need, along with taking your money and not really having the intetion of really helping you. Well let me tell you that from the start Megan was up front and to the point. She told me she would not take my case on if she didnt think we had a chance to bring him back. We spent about an hour going over all the history and information and she told me we infact do have a good chance at winning . I think she asked me three or four times if i was sure i wanted to proceed as it was a few dollars and going to take a lot of time. Let me just add when we needed anything done she went above and beyond what i thought any lawyer would do. she even went and visited my husband in jail not once but twice. It was an intense and long 15 months. I had our baby in this time section) and a complete hysterectomy, not to metion i had 8 children at home and a full time job. Did i mention i was a complete wreck this whole process. i must have depressed everyone in my path as i was self destructing. I called megan i swear everyday after the first four months ok probably every month haha. Megan is what kept me and my husband together and calm, even when we wanted to give up and make my husband jump the border again she gave us hope and kept me hanging on to the little strength we had left. its so hard to be away from the ones you love and for so long of time. especially when your taking care of kids, the house, the bills, going through not one surgery but two, and doing this all by yourself. i did not have friends or family helping me out in these areas except while i was at work and during my hospital stays.. by the end every little thing was tearing us apart .telephone calls were non existant due to money, facebook was limited also expensive, and well letters also cost 14 dollars just to send. yes i said $14. you start to wonder if this is how your life is going to end up and it really hits you hard. Megan kept our faith and hope alive and i thank god everyday she had the courage to continue with our case in this very frusterating process. She not only brought my husband back but she saved our marriage and our family. i would not have chosen a beter person to take my case than Megan lantz. i will and have reffered her to my friends, family, and strangers in need of the same services and i will continue to use her in the near future. citizinship here we come. :) A big big thank you to Megan. May god bless her alwas...

Megan helped with our immigration case after I had been told that there was not anything else that could be done, that my husband had to stay out of the country for a full 10 years. We applied and she wrote an appeal that got him back quickly. She kept me informed every step of the way and was the first to inform me of the great news and what to do next when we were told that the appeal was accepted. She was always friendly and helpful. I have given others with immigrant issues or questions her number and she has answered their questions and been helpful to them also.

Spit-Up Happens
For the first 4 months of life, spit-up occurs in more than half of all infants. This is not a problem as most babies happily spit-up regularly and gain weight appropriately. If you are still concerned and want to help your baby spit up less, here are some ideas to try:
- Feed your baby less food but at more frequent intervals
- Burp your baby after each feeding
- Have your baby sit as upright as possible, or hold your baby upright against you to give him or her a chance to digest the food they've taken in
- Dress your baby in clothes that don't press against the belly, and make sure diapers aren't too tight
- Believe it or not, second hand cigarette smoke increases spitting up! Another reason to quit smoking
If these measures don't help or you feel there may be a more serious issue, speak to your pediatrician about other treatments such as changing formulas or using a prescription medication. And of course, you can visit your Big Y Pharmacy and Wellness Center if you need additional information as well.

My Vortech's are (were) controlled by the Radions (Ecosmart participation) and are set to go into night mode at the start of the night period.
But they don't any more.
I've checked the Ecosmart participation, I've powered down the pumps and I've checked the pumps will go into feed mode via the buttons on the Radion.
Any ideas?

Barcelona increase demands for Roma target
Roma's negotiations with Barcelona for youngster Antonio Sanabria have taken a slight twist as the Catalan club have increased their demands for the talented starlet.
The Paraguayan youngster has caught the eye of several clubs, and Roma were in pole position to sign him before Barcelona increased their demands for the 17-year-old.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Barcelona have increased their demands to €6 million which is €3m more than what they previously requested for the youngster.
Sanabria has made 13 appearances in all competitions with Barcelona B this season netting seven goals.

We had 4 dogs... one of which decided he was my wife's dog.... most loyal to her. When 3 guys came in the house uninvited and one had her pinned up against the wall, starting to force her blouse off, etc.... this same dog came around the corner and chomped right into the guy's crotch and didn't let go.
As he was screaming, the other 3 dogs came around the corner, the other 2 ran out the door.... and the 3rd... ran out the door as soon as he could get the dog to let loose of his nuts.
Later, a Siberian Husky we had got out...... was running the small town and my daughter called that he was "loose". While going out there to go look for him.... she called back and said the Police called..... long story short.... some guy grabbed a very young girl and was trying to force her into his car, and the Siberian came running out from some bushes and took care of the guy.... who fled in his car. He ate hamburger and steak for awhile. He knew he had done good too. He was my granddaughter's dog , who lived here with me, and he didn't like anyone messing with her, or apparently any other kid.

Thompson Set for Brainerd Challenge This Weekend
Brett Thompson, driver of the #61 RTTI Chevrolet in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series has seen a lot of different race tracks in his career and the 2.5-mile layout of Brainerd (MN) International Raceway is certainly unique.
The event will mark the second of four road course races scheduled for the 59-year old series in 2012. Thompson has eleven starts on road courses in the series with a best finish of fourth back in 2009 at Portland (OR) International Raceway. A track not unlike Brainerd.
"Portland and Brainerd are very similar in that they are flat and fast," Thompson said. Thompson spent the week in Brainerd and got familiar with the layout going back to school.
"The track is really narrow at points so the start is going to be tricky," Thompson offered. "Once things get stretched out it should be a pretty good race. Its an old track and the surface is worn so saving tires and staying on track will be key."
Thompson is coming off perhaps the most disappointing event of his career having missed the lineup for the East/West combination event last weekend in Iowa. And while he is only running a partial schedule this season, strong finishes are essential for the team in order to stay up in the owners points.
"The goal this weekend is just run our own race and be in contention at the finish," Thompson said. Just come out of here with a solid finish and then head to Vegas."
In Vegas, Thompson will turn the wheel over to recent high school graduate Braden Havens who will make seven starts for Thompson Motorsports this season. In two starts this season, Havens has finishes of 8th and 13th. Havens is in action this weekend up in Montana in a Super Late Model event.
Also driving for Thompson in NASCAR Whelen All American Series action at Magic Valley Speedway in Twin Falls, Idaho this season is Hannah Newhouse. Newhouse is coming off her third 3rd place performance of the season last Saturday night. 15-year old Newhouse is the youngest ever NWAAS winner after she claimed the victory in the opening event of the season. Newhouse will be back in action June 2.
Thompson has started 115 NKNPS races in his career with one win, one Coors Light pole award, 23 top five and 63 top ten performances. His best road course finish is fourth and he has three top ten performance in eleven road course starts.

Makes 1 cup
Thin this sauce with warm water if it is too thick to lightly coat the Jicama and Green Papaya Summer Rolls.
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 small onion, finely chopped to yield 1/2 cup
2 garlic cloves, minced
1-1/2 teaspoons chili paste
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup coarsely chopped roasted unsalted peanuts
1/4 cup boiling water
1. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chili paste, curry powder, and salt. Stir to combine. Stir in the peanut butter, coconut milk, vinegar, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of warm water. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Let simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens and the peanut butter dissolves.
2. Add 2 tablespoons of the peanuts to the sauce and then transfer it to a blender. Blend until smooth, adding 2 to 4 tablespoons of boiling water to help the sauce emulsify. Transfer it to a bowl. Let cool to room temperature. Before serving, garnish with the remaining peanuts. The sauce may be made 1 day ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container. (Press plastic wrap directly on top of the sauce to prevent a skin from forming.) Bring the sauce back to room temperature for 1 hour before serving.

17 Killed on Ga. Highways Over Christmas
17 people were killed on Georgia highways this Christmas holiday season.
That is according to the final count from the Georgia State Patrol.
The Christmas holiday travel count covers a period of time that began Friday at 6 p.m. and concluded at midnight Tuesday.
The 17 fatalities this Christmas holiday far surpasses the number of fatalities during last year's holiday travel period, when 3 people were killed on Georgia highways.
This year, the Georgia State Patrol investigated 685 crashes during the Christmas holiday travel period, which is way up from last year's total of 289.
In another traffic-related note, the Georgia Department of Transportation has suspended construction-related lane closures through midnight January 1. However, officials say that incident management or emergency maintenance-related lane closures could become necessary at any time on any route.
To keep up with real-time traffic, DOT officials encourage travelers to use 511, which is a free phone call from anywhere in Georgia. It is also available online at www.511ga.org.

Looking more like it belongs in downtown Asheville, Native Kitchen and Social Pub is fifteen minutes east, just off the main drag through Swannanoa.
It's the new spot to know about for many reasons:
- There's a friendly bar with a cool feel.
- A cozy dining room with an area that can be curtained off. Not sure when you'd actually want to use those curtains, though, since there's more than one table back there.
- The MENU is inovative, reasonably priced, sourced locally, and written on fun chalk-board walls as well as in print.
- A great patio with a couple shade sails.
- A small conversation area with more relaxed seating.
- A fabulous, large fenced lawn area with picnic tables served by Native wait staff. As of this writing, the lawn area is available for private use at no charge. Native recently held a croquet competition and are thinking up more events for the lawn.
- Plenty of free parking.
- And last, but in no way least, a reasonably priced menu featuring innovative, delicious, generously portioned, locally sourced dishes.
PIC ordered the Bacon Chicken Club ($8.90). Made with local, Laura Ashley farm Chicken, house made bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, Swiss cheese and pesto mayo. It's served on a house-made roll with choice of side – house cut fries, side market salad, pasta salad, or warm German style potato salad. That's the pasta salad pictured below.
Dining room ambiance is helped along by small oil lamps lit during the evenings. Those are our water "glasses" next to the lamp. Native leaves a bottle of cold water on your table so you can fill at will. I actually prefer this so neither servers nor diners have to fuss over water.
I went with the Native Burger ($10.90), made with local grass fed beef, lettuce, tomato, onion, cheddar, bacon, and a medium-fried egg. My choice of side was the Market Salad. This burger was served cooked as ordered and messy-delicious to eat once the two halves with toppings were put together.
Here's a closer look at half the yummy stack described above.
The only negative both PIC and I encountered was thick bacon with portions of fat that made taking bites without pulling the whole piece of bacon out of the sandwich difficult. I'm willing to deal with this for Native's excellent house-made bacon.
Neither of us were hungry for dessert, but folks at a neighboring table were so happy with their sponge cake and fresh berries, topped with ice cream, they thought it deserved to be photographed. As soon as that shutter clicked, two spoons were digging in. Next time . . .
If you haven't been to Native Kitchen yet, get out there. You won't regret it.
Epicurean Notes:
- There's live music on Friday nights. See the mucis lineup and other events on Native's calendar.
- Brunch is served on Saturdays and Sundays 11am to 3:30pm.
- "Native is not fast food", warns the menu. "Everything is prepared fresh to order in our small kitchen . . ." We found the wait between ordering and food delivery to be average.

Managing Contested Issues of Representation in a PhD Dissertation
Hanrahan, Mary U. (2000) Managing Contested Issues of Representation in a PhD Dissertation. In Australian Association for Research in Education (AARE), 1-5 December 2000, Sydney, Australia.
|PDF (219kB)
This paper looks at contested issues around representing learning in a PhD dissertation, and the controversial structure that resulted, in one particular case. During her PhD Mary constructed a partial explanation for unsatisfactory learning in science, using a cross-disciplinary body of literature (including that relating to critical literacy teaching, second language learning, social and cognitive psychology, and sociolinguistics). Taken as a whole, the literature seemed to suggest that deep learning and change depend to some extent on the nature of interpersonal relationships in the setting, and (tacit) cultural as well as rational factors. The dissertation explored the nature of learning and change in two rather different contexts, science education and a PhD and proposed that such processes involved a complex of interrelated cognitive, social and biological aspects. This proposition had significant implications not only for teaching and learning science (Hanrahan, 1998a) and similarly for research methodology (Hanrahan, 1998b), it also challenged some of the epistemological assumptions and generic conventions underlying expectations about dissertations.

The Galt Lighting of the Nights Christmas Parade and Santa's Workshop brought so many smiles to all the children.
We want to let everyone who participated know how much we appreciate all their hard work decorating their floats, trucks, tractors, boats and fire trucks.
We have a special "thank you" to O'Hara Realty, Remax-Galt branch and Cooke Realty "Moreno Team," and Toni Del Grande for providing fun work stations for all to enjoy while waiting to see Santa; MarsHill Church and Seventh-day Adventist Church for hot apple cider, hot chocolate and face painting; Spaans Cookies for your delicious cookies; and Parks and Recreation for coffee and all your help.
A lot goes into planning this parade so that we can bring Santa throughout the town, and we would like to give a special "thank you" to our Police Chief, LT. Uptagrove and Craig Walton and their staff for providing us safe travel along with City Manager Jason Behrmann and our City Council. We would also like to mention the following Santa helpers, because without you it would not have been such a success:
Tim Clay (aka Santa), Rick Mcmasters (aka Santa), It's a Grind, Raley's Bakery Dept., Spaans Cookies, Sherrie Smith, Watts Family Galt Herald, Lodi New-Sentinel, John Wells, John Moreno, Nicole Moreno-Boyce, Monique Moreno, Alyssa Moreno, Adolfo Carrillo, Bob Gross and Cheryle Perucca.
We can't thank you enough for helping us bring holiday cheer to one of the greatest little towns around!
