Before I started University Mathematics, I asked my A-Level Maths teacher what it would be like? He replied with the following:
"It's actually very different and often quite hard. I would say that A-Level Maths is like learning how to drive a car but University Maths is more about how the car works. Think of yourself as going into your Car Mechanics apprenticeship now."
At the time I thought it was a great analogy but now I realise that it's completely ridiculous and unfair. Why weren't we learning how the car worked at School? What about those people who never get to learn how the car works?
Before starting at the new school, I was lucky enough to be reminded of all Jo Boaler's, Cathy Humphries' and Carol Dweck's ideas in Boaler's, "How to Learn Math" Course. Hence I started by getting every student in every Grade to research fixed and growth mind set (fixed mind set – intelligence fixed, growth mind set – intelligence can be developed). Once they had some idea of the attributes, they wrote up reflections on their current mind set and what aspects of their mind set that they thought they could improve upon. Some of the students then presented their reflections to the class for others to see that they weren't the only one with certain fixed mind set attributes.
After they'd learnt about mind set, I gave them this questionnaire, collated the results, made some bar charts and then discussed them with each of my classes.
You're going to love what one of the Grade 6s wrote on his questionnaire:
Just in case you can't read that, he said, "I don't compare myself to other people, I compare my self to my improvement." One word – BOOM!
For example, here's a bar chart for Grade 8 and 9 on whether they believe making mistakes is a good thing for learning.
Most agreed that the bars would probably be reflected in the centre line if they hadn't learnt about fixed and growth mind set first.
It was great to also have the opportunity to give a short presentation on mathematics and mind set to parents last week, in which my main message was: "If they're not struggling, they're probably not learning," and "Posing problems is just as important as answering them."
Some of the Activities that we've been doing
1. Number Talks – Of course, after doing Jo Boaler's course, I wanted to get some Number Talks into the curriculum for grade 6 and 7. For those that don't know, that's when you put a question on the board, like 14 x 8 or 23 x 11, ask the students to do it mentally, and then discuss different strategies as a class. This allows two key things:
1) Allows students to see that there's more than one way to calculate and that they can transform calculations in different ways. i.e. Flexibility of Numbers
2) Start to visualize different strategies to make them more concrete.
As an example, I gave Grade 6 pasta shapes and asked them to represent 18 x 5 in any way they wanted. They started straight away with 9 piles of 10.
2) Four 4s Challenge – Make all of the numbers from 1 – 20 with exactly four 4s.
It's a standard challenge but it's great in that it re-iterates the fact that there's a number of different ways to construct mathematics and, as individuals, we often find different paths (just like with Number Talks). In Grade 7 they were so hooked that they decided to try and obtain 10 different solutions for each number up to 50 – it's going to be a term long challenge! (As a side note, they were fascinated by the factorial symbol)
3) Understanding all of those Rules they've been lumbered with – all of my students have arrived with what I like to call "Rule baggage" i.e. many of them can calculate things but have no idea where the rule came from and why it works. It seems, unfortunately, that in many cases the rules didn't come from them.
So I decided with all Grades that I'd start with reviewing basic skills and knowledge so that we could iron out all of this rule baggage they carry with them. I encouraged the students to ask their fellow students why something worked during explanations. After two lessons with Grade 9 we already had 6 questions:
1) Why is it okay to flip the second fraction and multiply when dividing fractions?
2) Why do we need to make a common denominator when adding and subtracting fractions?
3) Whys isn't 1 a prime number?
4) Why is subtracting a negative the same as adding?
5) Why is it that when we multiply two negatives we get a positive answer?
6) Do the prime numbers follow any pattern?
So the only thing to do was to get them into groups researching each question for the third lesson and then get them to present ideas at the end. Here's some posters that went along with the presentations:
The "two negatives multiplying to make a positive group" struggled so I pointed them towards a previous post I've written. I think that they're starting to appreciate that there's no point in learning and doing Mathematics if you don't engage in how the car works. This quotation from one of the girls says it all: "Maths is actually really cool when you understand how things work."
As a side, re-learning fraction addition and fraction sense making with Grade 8 was brilliant! We used the Fraction addition Geogebra apps I created last year with inspiration from John Golden and David Cox and they were absolutely hooked (we all spent a week making loads of estimation apps which are all currently on www.geogebratube.com).
To start, I asked them to figure out what was going on with this applet-click the picture to go to the applet.
Once they figured out why we needed to make a common denominator, I wanted to get their fraction sense going with this estimation applet. Whilst I don't encourage competition in my classroom, they challenged me to do better than they could at estimating the addition of two fractions – here's what happened…
Class Percentage Error: 10% off
My Percentage Error: 0% off
Back of the net!!!!
4) Building curiosity and intrigue
Of course I've already had a few 3 ACT Maths tasks on the go, courtesy of Dan Meyer, but in the first few weeks, I wanted to go beyond the classroom walls to get everyone talking about Maths – students, teachers, visitors etc. I gave Grade 7 and Grade 8 homework to find a symbol in the school and investigate it for homework this weekend.
When I was walking past the symbol in the open learning environment, and everyone was talking about it (even some teachers), a Grade 7 student said, "So that's our homework sir? Is it Art or Maths?" To which my reply was, "What's the difference?" Of course there are differences but I want my students to understand that Mathematics can be a Science, an Art form, a subject in its own right in which I don't care whether it applies to anything in real life because it's fun, etc. If you've never come across it before then I won't say too much other than it's to do with Eqyptian Mathematics and I can't wait to discuss and extend it next week with the students.
So hopefully students' perspectives on mathematics are already changing but still a long way to go!
[Mixed ability classes are interesting and challenging so far – will probably write a post about how it's going soon].

Dvour is a recipe sharing application that lets users store and pass along recipes in an eye-catching virtual setting. Users can see showcased recipes on the homepage or search for specific recipes. Recipes can also be browsed and sorted by most recent and most popular. Each recipe page includes a large image, description and cooking instructions as well as an ingredient list. Tags are also applied and can be clicked to view similar recipes. Sharing tools are built in so users can access the recipe with a shortened Bit.ly link or by email, Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus or Pinterest. A handful of recipes is presented below each recipe page as additional dishes the user may like.Show more screenshots »
Dvour was created to give internet users a more visually stimulating way to store and share their favorite recipes online. The service is still rather new and has gone largely unnoticed so far. This could also be because there are numerous alternative recipe sharing options that are already well-established, some of which also offer an eye-catching design. Dvour doesn't offer many features beyond a few convenient sharing tools on each recipe page. More features might help the application get the attention it seems to be vying for.
Dvour offers many of the same features as other recipe sharing tools. In fact in some areas it is lacking features. The main difference between Dvour and sites like Recipefy is the inclusion of numerous sharing tools. Users can automatically access a Bit.ly shortened link on the recipe page. While this is convenient, it seems to pale in comparison to the features Dvour doesn't have. The website starts strong with a delicious design but falls off when users get to the feature list.
Design is where Dvour has the potential to impress. The application uses large scale images of real life food items and cutlery. Users are enticed by deeply colored peppers and bundles of fresh greens just waiting to be prepared and used in a tasty recipe. Recipe profile pages are neatly organized with a few attractive visual elements added in to keep the experience lively. Each instruction list is even garnished with a small sprig of leaves and a gentle wood grain background.
New users can join the Dvour community by clicking the red "Sign Up" button found near the right side of the homepage (within the cutting board). A registration form spins into view and asks for a username, email address and password. Users can also click the blue button below the form to sign up with a Facebook account. The user is advised that they must complete email verification to finish registration and login.
Dvour is available to all food lovers at no cost. There are no subscription fees and users are not required to make any purchases or list any recipes if they do not want to. Anyone can register and begin browsing recipes or sharing them online. This is a good thing because the application is severely lacking in the area of unique features. It serves a very basic, practical purpose but in the same way that many other free alternative recipe websites do.
Dvour is an appealing option for anyone who wants to share recipes online. The application is best suited to users who are not interested in features and small details. The application has a very refreshing appearance that is sure to make the user's stomach growl, but it doesn't offer many enticing things on the features menu. Users who want practical cooking tools and other advanced features should look elsewhere.

Science matters are fascinating and straightforward to research as a result of there are various present and reputable journals on-line. In honor of Alan's legacy at NYSCI and in the bigger discipline of informal science education, his NYSCI colleagues created a website, Thinking of Alan , which has served as a robust sounding board for the many individuals whose lives Alan touched over the years. Scientists literally examine the inside workings of life, matter and the universe itself, but science usually appears set apart from different worldly issues. I took the Apologia Biology text and went by way of it over the summer and located that without a lot further effort, we might make his learning fit Charlotte Mason's model for educating science. It seems impossible that the science as we all know it from Scientific Revolution and Religion can work for the same aim. New discoveries in science expand or exchange previous theories, whereas new artistic endeavors or literature don't replace outdated ones. It's a helpful counter to the torrent of propaganda that stands in for serious history of science as of late.
Although I am not aware of the membership functions of all Christian Science churches worldwide, I am conscious of purposes that embrace stipulations that they will not accept as members those who consult doctors and take drugs. Sense about Science has hugely influenced, helped and improved the relationship between scientists, science and the public. The location of the Ark is supposed to be lodged in Mt.Ararat ,Turkey's highest Mountain Peak which borders Iran and Armenia for those who log onto there may be an abundance of information that science cannot clarify. Teaching science as some compartmentalized thought process with out cultural context is a dangerous game.
The idea of this type of etching got here from my seventh grade science trainer, Mr. Harper, who had us make hydrogen in school and kicked it up a notch by having us etch our initials into these little metal disks we used during the course of. Despite your anti-religion, or anti-philosophical views, there may be quite a little bit of proof that science can educate us a number of the ways that are optimal for living both our lives and living with one another. Major advances in formal science have typically led to major advances within the empirical sciences.
Both science and artwork form in the midst of the centuries a human language by which we can converse concerning the extra distant part of reality, and the coherent units of ideas as well as the completely different types of art are different word or groups of words on this language." xii We may now visualize the adeptness of art and science inside historical past in its entirety and the way each shape historical outcomes for the historian.
While staying current and fascinating in policymaking is at all times a very good factor for science (be happy to contact your representatives at any time), situations like the Syrian refugee disaster provide a more distinctive chance to lend a hand. If science turns into socially outmoded, that in turn means that scientists themselves would possibly become unpopular – even persecuted. People are not limited to the space they will travel via as a result of science and expertise has made that attainable.

Passenger and commercial vehicle manufacturer Tata Motors Ltd had little choice but to alter its fund-raising plan to buy the Jaguar and Land Rover (JLR) brands. Its earlier plan, announced on 28 May, involved issuing equity and equity-linked instruments worth Rs9,800 crore. The company had said this would dilute its equity base by up to 35% in the current fiscal year and another 12% in three to five years, adding up to 51%.
This was when Tata Motors' stock traded at Rs635. Ahead of the company's review meeting on Wednesday, the stock had fallen by a third to Rs425. Mint's calculations show that if the company had stuck to its original plan, the equity dilution would have been as high 77% in three-five years, with the majority equity issuance happening in the current fiscal year.
An auto analyst with a foreign brokerage firm says it was this prospect of a very high dilution that led to the sharp fall in Tata Motors' shares. The company's announcement of the large equity issue in May has worked as a double-edged sword.
The news about equity dilution first drove down prices, which in turn led to fears about further dilution and the cycle kept repeating itself. According to the analyst, the markets had factored in a dilution of as high as 70%.
With the company now reducing its dependence on equity issuance by Rs3,000 crore, the dilution would be roughly 46-53%, based on the current share price. It will now sell some of its investments to raise part of the funds required to finance the JLR acquisition.
It's interesting that this information hasn't led to a rally in Tata Motors' shares. Although the stock opened strongly on Thursday, it closed the day 2.1% lower at Rs416, faring only slightly better than the broad market, which fell 3%.
One reason for the lack of enthusiasm could be the fact that the dilution is still high at about 50% in the current year. This assumes that the company will go ahead with its overseas issue worth Rs2,600 crore, for which it got shareholders' approval.
And, no one expects JLR to add 50% to Tata Motors' profits anytime in the near future and make good the drop in earnings per share because of the dilution.
The other more important reason is that the uncertainty relating to the pricing of the equity issuances remains. With the markets showing no signs of recovery, it could well turn out that Tata Motors would eventually have to issue more shares to raise the same amount of capital.
To add to all this, it hasn't been completely open about the financial details of JLR. The market is still divided on whether it is profitable, leave alone other details such as cash flows. The car maker's cash flows are likely to be negative due to recurring high research and development expenses, and this is likely to necessitate further fund raising at a future date.
The only way to stem the fall in its share price would be clarity on the equity issuances' pricing and timeline on one hand, and financial details of JLR on the other.
Stick to defensive stocks as investment demand slows
Just before the crash in the markets, the sectors that had run up the most and were the most richly valued were all linked to investment demand. These included the capital goods sector, the power sector and the real estate companies. Much store had been set on the bulging order books of the engineering companies and the visibility of their revenues. At the macro-level, the story was that while higher interest rates had derailed the consumer durables and auto sectors, investment demand had picked up the baton.
It was a very plausible scenario. Unfortunately, the numbers contained in the "Economic Outlook for 2008-09", released recently by the Prime Minister's economic advisory council, tell a rather different story. The saga started in 2001-02, when total investment or total gross domestic capital formation contributed a negative 0.7 percentage point to that year's gross domestic product, or GDP, (at market prices) growth rate of 5.22%. Consumption was the great driver of growth that year, with domestic final consumption expenditure contributing 4.57 percentage points to GDP growth. Investment demand bounced back the next year and contributed much more to GDP growth than consumption, but much of that was inventory growth and investment in fixed capital contributed a mere 1.57 percentage points of that year's miserable GDP growth of 3.77%.
See: Shared growth
Investment in fixed capital became the largest contributor to growth in 2004-05, when it contributed 4.66 percentage points to the overall growth rate of 8.28%. Consumption contributed 3.93 percentage points that year. Interestingly, the contribution of investment in fixed capital to growth peaked in 2005-06, at 4.73 percentage points, and it has been going down since then. Last fiscal year, it was clearly consumption that was the most important driver.
More importantly, the council believes that, of the 7.7% growth that it envisages for 2008-09, consumption will contribute 5.09 percentage points, while total investment demand (including inventories) will contribute 3.62 percentage points.
That's quite a sharp deceleration from the 4.51 percentage points that investment demand contributed to GDP growth last fiscal. That should be another reason for sticking to defensive stocks and leave sectors such as capital goods and power alone.

As a family we have always headed to the French Alps for skiing, initially 3 Valleys for numerous years, then Tignes for 4 years and currently La Plagne. As the idea of 'public transport', ie airports, transfers etc with children sends us into a cold sweat we have always driven, and driven through the night. Sounds a little crazy, but we finish work on the Friday and head straight down to Folkstone to get a dinner time train across The Channel Tunnel (often bought with Tesco Triple Points rewards!). The children get early supper before leaving, while we have a picnic in the car, the train literally gives us time for a quick toilet stop and pj's on for the kids.
The journey time in France to the Alps is about 9-10 hours but French Payages are so delightful to drive on the whole experience is a lot less stressful than travelling up the A1 in the UK. We never go through Paris, always around Reimes, the only decision to make is to go on the payages around Lyon or head off at Dijon to Bourg-en-Bresse and through Annecy. We have often mixed it up and gone payages on the way down in the dark but when travelling home in the daytime the Annecy route is a little more picturesque and interesting. The Lyon route is about 45 minutes quicker, 40 km longer and costs about 25 euros more. We take a picnic with us that is easy to eat while driving and easy to get at as you don't want to disturb the rest of the car sleeping. A flask of hot drink is also highly recommended, we take 2 x 1 litre flasks, one with pre made coffee, the other with water for either coffee or hot chocolate. The driver also sometimes has their own iPod with headphones to listen to more up beat music!
Fuel wise it take us between 2-3 tanks of fuel to get from home (200 miles from Folkstone) all the way to resort and back again. We tend to fill up full at home to give us a good run in France and top up the tank at one of our stops / driver change overs. We then get another half tank fill up in Moutiers as the fuel in the mountains has antifreeze additives which is always handy if you are parking it in -10 degrees for a week! Lift your windscreen wipers when parked in resort so they don't freeze to the windscreen, don't start your car and just defrost everything in the week unless you are going to go out and drive about for a bit, just defrosting and not getting anything hot will create more issues! Also advisable not to leave your handbrake on in cold temperatures, leave it in gear for a manual, if you can switch auto handbrake off in an automatic then do, if not don't worry just leave it in 'park'.
In recent years we have managed to leave home earlier in the day on the Friday and have taken an earlier train across this would have resulted in us getting to the bottom on the mountains at about 3am – as a result we have driven for 2 hrs – swop – 2 and a half hrs – swop and a final 2 hours to reach a nice aires d'autoroute (rest stop) just past Lyon. This takes us 750km (about 6 and a half hours) into the 970km (9 and a half hour) journey and gives us a proper 4 to 5 hour sleep (while also cat napping on your passenger stint). Waking, we then journey to Moutieres to be there in time for the supermarket to open, gather a few groceries, fresh croissants and start the ascent up the mountain by 8-9am. At this time of the day you miss all the big traffic heading up but start to see all the queues coming down!
Having given our chalet hosts a heads up on our early arrival they usually let us in for a quick change into snow gear, toilet stop and we are in the Hire shop by 11-12am and on the slopes for a lovely run or two before finding a restaurant for lunch. We then have a whole afternoon of extra skiing, heading back to the chalet at about 4pm when all the remaining guests on flight transfers are just getting in or heading to pick up skis.
Most French resorts have 1 lift for beginners that is free to use so you don't even have to fork out for that extra days lift pass if you just want to have a play and get those snow legs back.
Cost comparison for 2 Adults and 2 children (2014):
Snow Train: £149.5 per adult – £105 per child – £509 – but transfers required

Thank you
Tech Michael
Thanks is it under 1 full year or just over that point?
You have done the right thing, and Im sure the update was good as they almost always are.
When things like this happen after an update, the problem is a bad memory IC. Whet happens is it tries to write data in for the update, but since there es a bad memory location, other parts of the system are compromised and certain features will no longer work. hopefully all that makes some sense to you.
I wish I had better news for you but this one needs to go in for repair.
One of the best places for that is to bring it to Best Buy for repair.

Cinnamon Pecan Pie Shell
Recipe by RawwGurl
This is a simple pie shell recipe that is a great alternative for those on a no grain diet. You can make this for any kind of pie. I made it with pumpkin pie and it was great. You can also use, almonds or walnuts if you prefer.
Top Review by Mia in Germany
I cut the recipe down a bit because I only had a 8 '' pan, and maybe I didn't cut down the shortening enough. The pie shell tastes delicious but is so crumbly that you barely can get one whole piece out of the pan. As suggested I filled it with recipe #363013, and it fit the bill perfectly. Served the pie as dessert today along with recipe #363016, and all eaters were delighted :) I'll work on the texture, as I'll surely will make this again. Thanks for posting, RawwGurl! Made for PAC fall 2009.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups pecans (cut in half if you only plan to do the bottom of the pan and not the sides)
- 3 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 4 teaspoons stevia (equals 4 packets )
Directions See How It's Made
- Place nuts into a food processor or grinder/blender with chopping option. Process until the nuts are a fine meal like texture. Combine with the remaining ingredients, pat into a pie plate and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Makes one 9-10 inch pie crust. Fill with pie filling of your choice and bake according to instructions. This is also good with uncooked pie fillings too.

She takes a sip of her McDonald's coke and looks up to see why a kid is crying, the mother tugging on his arm dragging him towards the play equipment.
Wow. She actually did it. It's the third day of driving him to preschool, but she hadn't left him alone there for more than an hour or so yet. Today, however, she dropped off her medically complex, special needs 3 year old at the Foundation for the Blind and drove away…well, after an hour and 2 trips back and forth to the car because she forgot to tell them just one more thing.

- Bill,
Let me get this outta the way. If you read somewhere lately where I
mentioned "conversion without revelation", that's probably not worded very
well. I think I thought of that fairly soon after writing it, but didn't
take time to go over much stuff yesterday and just got some recoup and rest
first. But, revelation is there, you could say, just not in some impersonal
standard of the distant church or bible concepts, you know. It's like some
(evangelical or whatever) apologetics has gotten into personal God talk, but
they still have standards that are like impersonal..unnecessary..make the
message still have some major or basic contradictions. I didn't want to just
misrepresent and leave it where I'd left it, that's all - that's the whole
point of my flavor of working/thinking. So I wrote this note. My flavor has
been like understanding stories, even in the Bible, in various ways, but
that INSTEAD of and not just beside the Bible (or else Church) as some
impersonal, seeming "unchallengeable" (really ill-analyzed, "unanalyzeable"
at some point) standard.

Physically, the haunt this year looked the best it ever has. Still a few issues with lighting and photography, but all in all, I'm pleased with the way things turned out.

Bonus this year is that we were able to successfully get some good video of the haunt. Thanks to KC Kenaz for hanging out and filming. Early footage looked great so it looks promising for a video this year.

I hesitated posting them because the majority of the photos did not come out very well and I really had to ramp them up in Photoshop. Uncooperative weather for lighting setup, not covering the street light as we did the past year, additional lights left unhooded, no budget to speak of and a wingman with not one, but two broken wrists really hampered us this year.

Due to economic times, the only new prop for 2010 was a Celtic Cross tombstone, based on Hector Turner's design, that I made out of foam board left over from 2009.

The only other change was to the Tree of Woe. In 2009, to accommodate the Halloween Tree motif, the witch jars that came with the haunt were hung on the outside of the fence. With LED tea lights in them, they were quite dim and went pretty much unnoticed. The crown-of-thorns skull was hung over the lower window and also went pretty much unnoticed. In 2010, I decided to hang the witch jars from the tree (with real candles) and the crown-of-thorns skull as well. I'm pleased with how it turned out.

Regrettably, I wasn't able to put together a video for 2010, as my video editor's 30-day trial expired and I put off purchasing the program. When I finally got around to updating it, they had upgraded to a newer version and wanted even more money... that I didn't have. Frustrating to say the least.

The frustration continues, so far, for 2011 as our economic situation has not improved. Our only camera was dropped and damaged, long after the warranty had expired of course. Still no video editor and lack of funds leading to lack of building materials is leading to nothing new being added to the haunt this year. I did receive a Bucky skeleton (my first) from Chris Baker for the work I've been doing for Hauntcast, which was really cool. Sadly, it'll probably have to stay in the box until I can get materials to corpse it properly. I don't want to half-ass it.

I'll probably just be playing with the arrangement and lighting of the haunt this year. Maybe some small additions and that's about it.

I was generously given a great haunt to care for and build upon and I love it. I want to do it the justice it deserves. But between last year and this year, at least so far, I'm starting to feel like I'm resting, however involuntarily, on Rob's laurels. I have plans and ideas. Right now I just lack the means to see them through the way I'd like to. Hopefully, that will change in the very near future.

At any rate, I'm not letting the tough times dampen my spirit. Here's hoping that you are all faring well in your haunting endeavors and I look forward to seeing what you all come up with this year.

More photos from 2010 here.

Halloween. Ever.To cap off a very enjoyable first season with the haunt, House Bloodthorn has been honored with the Haunters Video Vanguard Award for Best Yard Haunt 2009!

My only goal in even submitting a video was to just be a part of the collection of outstanding haunts on the Haunters Video DVD. I am completely blown away that I was even considered for an award. Especially given the fact that it was my first year displaying the haunt.

My thanks to this year's panel of judges who saw fit to bestow this prestigious honor upon my humble efforts. I am truly surprised and truly grateful.

My sincere and heartfelt thanks, as always, to Rob at Skull and Bone, without whose trust and generosity none of this would have been possible. He deserves this award as much, if not more, than I. A finer torch I could not be carrying and I'm proud to do so. This certainly is inspiration and motivation for the years to come.

Thanks to Paul "Propmaster" Venturella for continuing, year after year, to put together this wonderful DVD set. I'm happy to finally be a part of it all.

I'd also like to thank my friends Chris and Jeff Davis for all that they do for the haunt community (including organizing these very awards)... Pumpkinrot for featuring the haunt several times on his great blog... all the fine folks at Hauntcast for featuring our story last year... and all my haunting friends and followers for their support and inspiration. A haunter may plan it or make it or display it, and it can be daunting at times, but its the camaraderie that makes it that much more worthwhile.

Finally, my sincere congratulations to all the other winners this year. You all did such an amazing job and I'm proud to be counted among you.

Well done one and all.

My thanks to Pumpkinrot for the video inspiration and also for the recommendation of Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9. It was my first time really editing a video and the program is very intuitive and easy to use.
And, of course, my thanks to Rob of Skull and Bone (without whom there would have been a lot less to shoot) for his generosity and inspiration.
Some of you may notice the conspicuous lack of actual video footage in the clip. Nearly unusable footage from an old camcorder and lack of a proper video capture on the PC were the culprits. I'm not able to acquire new hardware so soon after going just a 'smidge' over the Halloween budget, so I kind of had to make due. Better equipment is definitely on the list for next year. If at some point I'm able to get some of the footage to a usable state, I'll edit it in or do something seperately later.
Enjoy and thanks for watching.

I always hated this tree.

It's a Japanese Maple and over the past few years it's been an overgrown lump. It was just a giant weeping hulking mass of shrivelly leaves with little to no branch or trunk to be seen. In trying to make room to be able to see more of the haunt in the yard, it became obvious that we needed to trim it back. At first I was hesitant to do so figuring it wouldn't be anough to just trim it and hacking it almost all the way back would make it even more of an eyesore.

I couldn't have been more wrong.

Once we got under the canopy and took a good look underneath, I very quickly decided to lay into it. Once we trimmed up the outside, cut out all the small dead stuff and got to the knuckles, it literally became a thing of eerie beauty. All those gnarled, intertwined branches growing and twisting around and even through each other gave it a new, darker life of it's own.

I themed it as the Halloween Tree this year, but henceforth it shall be known as The Tree of Woe. The best part, though, is it's like having a built in Halloween prop in my yard all year 'round.

I love my tree.

For Rob and Lisa... you are, ever and always, a part of the House.

My heartfelt thanks for everything.

Though it seemed it wouldn't happen for much of the past few weeks, the weather improved and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect night. The moon was huge and bright. The air was crisp and still. The fog hung low. The lights burned dimly and for a few hours... the fates were with us and all was right with the world.

With over a hundred visitors, our first year with Rose was a resounding success. My humble and everlasting thanks to Rob at Skull and Bone for making it all possible. Thanks, also, to all those who helped as well as my family, friends, neighbors, followers and fellow haunters. You all make it worth it.

More photos and video coming soon.

This is one of the other projects I tackled this past weekend. My very first Monster Mud (MM) prop... a Grim Reaper.

Believe it or not, this prop started out to be Rose and wasn't going to be made of MM.

Due to not yet having the proper materials to start out with, horribly improvised framing of the armature and "too many chefs spoiling the brew", I decided to change the design and give it to my buddy, Tony, as "compensation". He's been helping me with some of the haunt building and tools, so I figured it was only fair to get him a nice prop. Also, he's been dying to see the MM in action ever since I first told him about it. I'll be making another, but this Rose is now a Reaper.

He'd already supplied the parts for the "frame" (and I use the term very loosely). It's some kind of stand at the bottom made from thin metal rod with a metal tube up the middle, some kind of fat metal rod shoved into that for a "spine", then what I think were old tent poles for shoulders and arms, a chest wrapped in two old pillows and some duct tape. Basically, stuff he had laying around his house. Then we hung some poultry screen over that, padded the shoulders and chest with some scrap foam and then wrapped it all in some clear pallet wrap he had around. There might be some bubble wrap in the arms too.

I didn't think the frame would support the weight. Seriously. It was ugly.

But, it got the job done.

We got some joint compound, ten yards of 48" burlap and some black spray paint. I bought a hollow plastic skull at Fred Meyer (because it wasn't going to be in MY yard. HA!) and some stuff we'll use for hands later. We had several half cans of latex paint laying around so we just mixed it in. The paint wasn't black enough, so we threw in some black tint. Not the prettiest mixture in the world, but it worked.

We got the burlap mudded and hung with much grunting and groaning. I did learn that you definitely need an extra set of hands (if not two extra sets) when coating burlap in the MM. The stuff gets pretty damn heavy and you need the extra hands to strain out the excess mud. Not to mention draping it over a tall frame. I now see the appeal of smaller props. It's over 6½ feet tall, so it was a bit of a chore, but should look pretty imposing to a trick-or-treater.

We chose to go with a cleaner, untattered appearance so it would look like a robe or cloth. We refrained from dry-brushing it as well to keep it from looking like stone. I managed to get some decent folds in the material and whipped up a quick chicken wire "cowl" for the hood to drape over. After that, we just let the mud dry and then hit it with some black spray paint. It'll get hands and a scythe next week.

All in all it came out fairly well for a first effort. My buddy definitely digs it and wants to build more.

"Next year", I said, "for the House."

Kind of a shame really. It turned out pretty good and won't even be in my haunt. But it was well worth the experience and I know it'll have a good home in my buddy's yard.

I'll definitely be adding some of my own next year.

Building and repair of the Haunt has commenced!

I thought I'd share one of the smaller, yet larger, projects to take on this year. That project was the faux candles that came with the haunt from Skull and Bone.

I say smaller in that, typically, PVC candles aren't very big.

I say larger by virtue of sheer numbers.

The originals from Rob were cut, grouped in some cases, and then slather-coated with "Fix-All" which is a powder that, when mixed with water, forms a sort of plaster. It bulked out the straight PVC pipe and made them look "softer". Some were also filled with Great Stuff to build up the inside and form a "shelf" for the tea lights to sit on.

Years of use and weathering had caused many of them to become brittle and unstable. During the transporting of the haunt a good many of them essentially shattered and I was left with bare pipes and piles of plaster chips. Some came apart just picking them up as the plaster makes them heavy and some of the groups weren't wired or otherwise bound together first. Many, however, did escape harm and were reusuable with the plaster mostly intact.

So, I've spent the better part of the week cleaning off bad spots, clearing out the insides, replastering, adding hot glue "drips", adding foam inserts and painting eighty-six PVC candles.

Yep. Eighty-six.

About 24 hours combined, 6 cans of spray paint, a half-gallon of acrylic ceramic tile adhesive, approximately 100-4" and 80-10" hot-glue sticks, a few lengths of sliced foam pipe-wrap for tea light shelves, and two numb and swollen hot-glue gun trigger-fingers later... I'm pretty pleased with the results.

The originals were "smoother", but I wanted to add detail by giving them more pronounced drips. I may have gone a little overboard, but I like them slightly exaggerated. Plus, they are all much more stable and durable now and should last for many years.

Now I only have to get about 30 more tea lights. =\

Work on the haunt continues apace.

Wow. Has it really been over two months since my last post? Yikes. I must apologize to those who may have actually been interested in my blog. I did not mean to leave it hanging for so long. That works well for corpses, not blogs. I really don't mean to be so inconsistent with it, it's just that writing is not really my forte so it takes a little more effort on my part to get going. It also helps to actually have something to say. I promise though, I will pay more attention to it from now on. Pinky swear.

So what's been going on with the House?

Well, I've actually been fairly busy if not overwhelmingly productive. Over the last two months or so I've mostly been finishing up my 'social' pages. Not that big a deal, I know, but I'm picky. So those are done for now.

I also pretty much finished the 'facelift' of the Hauntcast website graphics and printed related stuff. I'm not a professional graphics or web designer by any stretch, but I am an enthusiastic hobbyist, so it was really cool of Chris Baker to give me an opportunity to play in the Hauntcast sandbox a little. It was fun too. Is it good work? Well, I suppose it's a little better than what was there before. I'll let others decide I guess. It did, however, lead to someone contacting me about another design project for a local/regional haunter's gathering here in Oregon. So that's encouraging. I will say this though, it kinda sucks having the skillset but not the toolset. I curse you, Adobe, and your outrageous prices. A Wacom tablet wouldn't suck either.

Additionally, I FINALLY got a web domain up for the House. While it's still freshly minted and pretty empty, it will be the new home and permanent hub of House Bloodthorn. It will mostly feature the House's haunt galleries and videos, but will also include this blog, some of my design projects and various artwork, the occasional story perhaps and maybe even the odd how-to, or rather, the odd 'how-I-did-it', as I'm no prop wiz. Of course, this is all subject to change, but that's the plan for now. It'll certainly be less time-consuming than updating 6 or 8 different 'social' pages. I'm hoping anyway.

New to the blog is the Flickr 'badge' on the right side of this page. This links to my Flickr gallery where there are images of the SkullAndBone version of THoMR and a few images of some of my older, store-bought props that I got by with pre-Rose. All staged and lit to approximate what they looked like in my windows. Most of the store-bought stuff will be cannibalized, retired or donated to neighbors.

And, finally, during this spate of good weather we've been having, I actually cleaned up and somewhat organized my garage/workshop so I can get going on some *gasp* ACTUAL haunt-related projects. Be still my thundering heart. Yes, I do actually intend to do some of that...

SOON!

At this time, the haunt is safely ensconced in my garage where it has been since I brought it home.

One of the least enjoyable things about living in Oregon, at least during late Fall/early Winter, is the weather. Lots of rain which is pretty much the norm for the season right through to late Spring. This Winter, however, it's been unusually cold. December saw record snowfalls in our part of Oregon which didn't help matters any, though it was fun for the kids. The cold also makes it exceptionally difficult to do anything in the garage. I'm a California boy and space-heaters only go so far up here. Not to mention the fact that most prop work (i.e. the use of adhesives, paints, etc.) doesn't exactly mix well with closed doors and space heaters. And, as I don't own stock in PGE, I can't exactly leave the doors open. So, suffice it to say, not much has or can be done during the Winter months. At least in the garage.

I'm still debating trying to negotiate for some workspace inside the house. I could probably swing it, but there's not that much room and far too many distractions to work comfortably upstairs. So, I'm relatively OK with waiting until March or April to start working in the garage. At least during the day. Nights still get pretty cold during Spring here.

But enough about what hasn't been done yet or why. Let's move on to the meat of it.

The Story of Miss Rose:

As heard on the Hauntcast episode or, better still, seen in SkullAndBone's haunt video, "The Story of Miss Rose", the theme of the haunt is essentially a ghost story. To paraphase...a lot, Miss Rose is a young school-teacher awaiting the arrival of her beau. She becomes lost and, distraught and forlorn, collapses in a dark forest. The local townspeople come across her body and, believing her dead, entomb her in a crypt with her locket and bell. And, as the story goes...

But just as the latch
Of the stone crypt door fell
No one heard the faint tinkling
Or the weak muffled yell

The sound was too slight
Lost in the mourners cries
Aghast in the darkness
Miss Rose opened her eyes

Her deep forlorn slumber
Alas sealed her doom
Awake now in horror
Interred in a tomb

She rang her bell screaming
Yet no help did 'rive
Her worst nightmare realized
To be buried... ALIVE

On nights just like this one
So the townspeople say
When the fall air is crisp
And the wind blows this way

If you quiet your breathing
And listen a spell
You can still hear the sound
Of Miss Rose and her bell

And so, each Halloween the 'ghost' of Miss Rose, as played by Rob's wife, would haunt the cemetery while a recorded narration played in the background. Rob himself, as well as some friends, would play the ghosts of the 'townspeople/mourners'. All this among the beautiful props, lighting and atmosphere that Rob so wonderfully created.

In my opinion it was a spooky ghost story and, at it's heart, a tragic love story that echoed, though wonderfully twisted, the real-life love story of Rob and his wife. Hence, her playing Miss Rose. It's a beautifully crafted tale and beautifully executed with all the elements that make a really great haunt. A good story and excellent presentation. Which is why it was so highly regarded. This was art. It was tasteful, well thought out and, above all, eerie and atmospheric.

And now it's come to me. (Insert doom music here)

More in the next post.

A friend reminds me that I've been less than diligent about keeping this blog up-to-date on what I've been doing lately and what, if any, plans I have for the haunt. I thought I'd correct that oversight. I have been busy and I do have plans.

Let me begin by saying that the response to the story of how I acquired Miss Rose has been exceptionally great and has truly warmed the cockles of my black little heart. Lots of folks, including fellow haunters whose work I respect and admire, have had nothing but nice things to say about the story. I am very grateful and I truly appreciate all the kind words. Thank you all.

On the flip side, it's also brought about a fair amount of attention which, as cool as it's been, has taken a little getting used to. This includes a featured story on the very first episode of Hauntcast and mentions in several blogs including one of my very favorites, Pumpkinrot's. It's weird, and thrilling, to see or hear your name in something you and many others read or listen to all the time. It can be a little daunting. Hopefully I'll be able live up to some this attention. Though, mostly, it's been even more inspiring. My thanks again for that.

So after receiving the haunt and the response that followed, I figured I should have some kind of web presence as I know there are some people who are interested in both Rob's work on Miss Rose and what will become of it in my hands. Also, just to be able to share with the many that have inspired me what their inspiration hath wrought.

Having not had a presence on the web in about 7 or 8 years, I felt the easiest and quickest way to get back to it was to create a blog with the intention that it would become a 'part' of a future web domain. Kind of an ass-backwards approach for me as I am more of a visuals person than a writer (obviously). I never really intended for it to be a daily kind of thing as there are far better blogs out there for that. Personally there are several that I follow or check nearly every day. I intended to keep mine pretty much HB/Rose-specific and, hopefully, post once a week or so and keep folks abreast of how the haunt was progressing.

A quick backstory pertaining to my web background. Back in the late 90's I created and operated a short-lived free web-goodies (graphics, wavs, midis, etc) non-domain site called 'Tomb of Fear'. I had been a fan of other sites like Kevin Greggain's 'Night Gallery', Carrie Carolin's 'Dark Side of the Net' and Chad Savage's early work on 'Sinister Visions'. These were the inspiration for me to learn how to do web design and graphics, not that I ever got very good at it. In 2001, right around the time CSS and improved web-coding were being implemented and after several computers went down the tubes, I kind of got tired of playing keep-up-with-joneses and upgrading every six-months and I dropped it all. I switched to laptops and became just a lookie-loo. Fortunately, that seems to be less of a concern these days as hardware and software seem to have a little longer lifespan. So I'm back on a desktop and trying to catch up. But, I digress.

Essentially, I've been brushing up on my web skills and getting a presence out there so people can keep track of the haunt and it's progress. Most notably Blogger and social networking sites like MySpace, HauntSpace and Garage of Evil. I also still post occasionally on HauntForum though I've never been a prolific poster anyway. I've also admittedly gotten a little sidetracked as I've most recently been tweaking another friend's peripheral sites. It's something I enjoy doing and has lit a fire under my butt to maybe get some classes under my belt to learn how to do it better. We'll see how that goes.

In the coming weeks, I plan to get a domain up and running and then maintain a minimal presence on the 'social networking' sites. The blog will remain and I'll be using it as I orginally intended to. I'm debating about keeping it on Blogger or using WordPress. I'm curious to check that out. Again, we'll see how that goes.

So there's what I've been doing. It's been fun and I've met some really cool people since all this happened. As I've said, I can only hope to inspire some as so many have inspired me.

In case you haven't noticed, I procrastinate and get easily distracted. LOL. I will try to do better. =)

More in the next post. Thanks for reading.

"Don't stay up late. It's not worth it."

Bob Wilkins
1932-2009

Of course, it absolutely was worth it. Growing up in Northern California during the early 1970's, "Creature Features" was my introduction to Horror movies and the TV Horror Host. With his trademark cigar, skull candle, dry sense of humor and deadpan delivery as he skewered the less-than-stellar features being presented, he made staying up late Saturday nights and "sneak-watching" that much more satisfying. He was always about the films and the genre rather than glorifying himself as the host. His show was a major influence on my childhood and he will be remembered and missed.

Just a few pics I took today after a rather substantial snowfall. I rather like how the snow looks on a few of my trees, especially the bare spindly ones. And I love how it covers the bigger conifers and makes the branches appear much more vein-like. You can even see the collateral damage on the front window from the morning's first snowball fight. And, of course, my tiny pumpkins dusted with snow and huddled together against the cold.

Being from California and living in Oregon for only 3 years, I still get a little thrill from seeing my house and yard covered in snow. While snow in Oregon occurs fairly frequently, it very rarely makes it down to my elevation on the valley floor. Nor is it usually this heavy. These shots were taken in the morning and it continued snowing well into the early evening.

I'm happily entrenched by the fireplace soaking up the warmth and it looks like the kids are going to get a few extra days off from school before Christmas vacation starts next week.

I'm sure they'll get over it.

The KCIC Youth Training Center works to introduce area children and teens to the fundamentals and joy of improvised comedy. During this summer intensive, teens will have the opportunity to learn from professional improvisors with The KC Improv company. Over the course of the week, students will learn basic skills, short-form, and be introduced to long-form improvisation, all while having fun and building confidence. All of this culminates with a performance opening for the KC Improv Company on the KICK Comedy stage. That's right! Our students will get to perform for friends and family on the same stage as some of the best in the city.
For Students Grade 7th-12th Grade!
July 10th-July 15th at The Kick Comedy Theater in Westport!
(4010 Pennsylvania Ave. Kansas City, MO 64111)
Enrollment: $115
Early Bird Special: $100 (If Enrolled Prior to June 3rd)
If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail us at email@example.com, or call us at 816-806-4000.
– Agreement & Confidence –
We focus on the fundamental principle of improv, "yes, and…", as well as show that through listening, and agreement, together we can build something better than we could individually. In addition to all of this, we will teach some short form games, much like those played on the ABC Show "Who's Line Is It Anyway?"
– Character & Emotion –
We'll jump into how to create real characters, outside of ourselves, with funny points of view, and then move onto the importance of adding emotion to make them fully fleshed out characters that can interact in a meaningful way with their fellow scene partners!
– Scene & Object Work –
To make a scene feel real onstage, we need to live in the world we create. The objects we hold, and the stage picture we present must feel real to the audience. For this week, we will teach tools& habits to make sure our stage picture is engaging, and authentic.
– Longform & The Montage –
There are two types of improv. Short form, which are the "Whose Line?" style games, and long form, which is an improvised play. We'll dive into how to improvise long form scenes, and teach the Montage, which is a series of longform scenes that interconnect. These are tools sketch writers for SNL and other sketch shows and television series have used for inspiration for decades!

IES Awarded PG&E Savings by Design Award
Integrated Engineering Services (IES) was awarded the PG&E 2005 Savings by Design Award for achieving a 6.4 Million kwh annual power savings; the largest single meter savings in the history of PG&E. This award was given to IES based on their innovative work for TDK MagIC Technologies Class 1 and Class 10 Cleanroom Research and Development facility and support functions located in Milpitas, California.
In order to achieve maximum power savings, IES specified premium efficiency motors with variable frequency drives, and light fixtures with high efficiency ballasts. In addition, IES was responsible for the innovative design of the raised floor system in the cleanroom with reduced air flow velocities, which minimized static pressure losses and therefore power consumption. The result of this design translated into significant power savings for the MagIC Facility.
As a prime consultant for TDK MagIC Technologies, IES had comprehensive engineering responsibility from the pre-planning phase through design, permitting, construction, commissioning and operation for this project. In addition, IES provided overall project engineering management, MEP design and Hazmat consulting.

Calling all teachers, parents, home schoolers, and beyond. We're going to enter some new territory today and start creating a big meta collection of free educational resources for younger students — for anyone in the K-12 range. Of course, we all know about the Khan Academy, and they'll be included on the list. But what other great resources would you like to see mentioned here?

Hillary had no support at her Rallys, Russia would have wanted her to win if anyone, look what she did for them & podesta is in the Kremlins pocket, the Kremlin invested 35 million in podesta business. Hmmmmmmmmm,
Scripted he knew what Question he was been asked Answers wrote down ,there a video showing how scripted Comey was.
1st he says that Trump and his people are under surveillance then says there was no order to surveillance them...how is that possible...
He has no information that he knows of ????? Why can he not definitively say????? Legal answer???
Now might be a good time to ask the President exactly who it was that recommended he retain Comey, Rogers and any other high profile Obama appointees. It wouldn't have been Ryan and Reince Prebus would it?
Why does it matter? Are you more interested in obstruction of justice and covering up something? If he's innocent, then it'll come out in the end.
