Con US only Great for a backup airframe, parts, or run a second camera. I've had the quad for about 10 days, has roughly 15 flights at 15 mins per flight. Love this unit, but came in too hot and got tangled up in a bush by the river. Needless to say the gimbal/camera popped off and rolled down the bank into the soup. I replaced 2 propellers and was up and running again, no problems, well, besides the ruined camera. Cutting my losses and might move to a unit that supports waypoints. Jim

New life for old De Pere building
DE PERE - Some new restaurants are coming to an old building in De Pere. Work is underway at the former Sports Corner building on the corner of Grant and Fifth Streets.
The new owner said it will be home to another Julie's Cafe location, a banquet space and a restaurant featuring burgers and craft beer.
Remodeling work on the 102-year-old building has been happening for a month. The 13,500 sq. ft. structure was once a hotel.
"That is something you take pride into, to save an old building in a community like De Pere," said owner Troy Metzler. "You get to keep the history of the building. There's still the old Roffers sign out front of the building that we're going to try and restore and bring in."
Metzler said the cafe should be open next month. The new restaurant, which will be called the BrickHouse, will open a few weeks after that.
He said they plan to hire 45 full and part time employees. Julie's Cafe already has locations in Green Bay and Howard.
The Sports Corner closed two years ago.

West Deptford, N.J. defensive back Anthony Scirrotto has two early offers from Stanford and Wisconsin and is hoping for third coming from his childhood favorite as the recruiting process heats up.
The 6-foot-1, 185-pound athlete is being recruited by most schools as a football athlete, but Anthony is also receiving considerable interest from several schools for his accolades on the baseball diamond.
"Stanford, Virginia, and Northwestern have been looking at me to play one or both sports so far," explained Scirrotto. "Notre Dame is my favorite school and has been since I was a kid. I'm hoping to get an offer from them soon."
Article Continues Below
Besides those schools, Penn State, Virginia Tech, Indiana, Rutgers, Syracuse, and Boston College are showing considerable interest in the two sport star.
What's Anthony looking for in a school?
"Academics are really important to me as well as my relationship with the coaching staff," admitted Scirrotto. "I'd like to get on the field early if possible. Distance from home is not a factor, I just need to be comfortable with whatever location I choose."
Scirrotto qualify easily with a 4.0 GPA and 1110 on his SAT's.
A first team all-conference selection as a quarterback and all-South Jersey as a defensive back during his junior year, Scirrotto talks about what makes him so special as an athlete on the gridiron.
"I'm aggressive as a defender and play more like an extra linebacker in the secondary," said Scirrotto. "I've got good field vision and my skills as a quarterback help me understand positioning myself in the secondary."
Scirrotto will camp at Virginia and Maryland over the summer and plans to take a trip to Penn State sometime in the coming weeks.

GLENDALE, Calif., Aug. 20 (UPI) -- The U.S. animator behind the "Shrek," "Madagascar" and "Kung Fu Panda" franchises signed a deal with 20th Century Fox to distribute its movies, it said Monday.
The five-year deal between DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. and Fox replaces the partnership DreamWorks has had with Paramount Pictures Corp. since 2006, DreamWorks said.
The DreamWorks-Paramount relationship started souring last year after DreamWorks Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Katzenberg sought to pay a lower fee and Paramount Chairman Brad Grey formed a competitive animation unit at his studio, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Under the new agreement, DreamWorks will pay 8 percent of revenue from box-office and DVD sales to Fox, the same as it paid to Paramount. Katzenberg had told his company's shareholders he would seek a lower fee in a new distribution deal, the Times said.
But the new deal "presents more favorable economics overall for DreamWorks Animation because we are taking advantage of lower costs associated with the emerging digital distribution landscape and managing domestic television distribution in-house," Katzenberg said in a statement.
Digital distribution includes video-on-demand and download-to-own. DreamWorks has shared revenue from domestic TV distribution with Paramount.
A complicating factor in the new partnership is Fox's own animation unit, Blue Sky Studios, best known for the "Ice Age" franchise, the Times said.
The first DreamWorks film to be released by Fox will be caveman comedy "The Croods," starring Nicolas Cage, Ryan Reynolds,Catherine Keener, Emma Stone, Clark Duke and Cloris Leachman.
The film -- about a caveman's "Leader of the Hunt" position threatened by a prehistoric genius who comes up with revolutionary new inventions like fire -- is set to hit theaters March 22, 2013.

Omalos, Hania
Xylóskalo (Ksyloskalo GR: Ξυλόσκαλο) is the point where the Samarian gorge starts. It is located on the Lefka Ori (White Mountains) in the plateau of Omalos, 43 km from the city of Hania at 1250m above sea level. It is also the entrance to the gorge. There are two tourist lodges where visitors can rest and have food or coffee and take panoramic pictures of the gorge and the White Mountains. There is also the information center of the National Park and a parking area.
Xyloskalo means the "wooden stair" and refers to a wooden staircase built by the locals in order to facilitate the entrance to the gorge as at this point the cliffs are very steep. Today this part of the path is made of stones and it has a wooden handrail.
About 1km before Xyloskalo a dirt road leads, after 5 km, to the Kallergis mountain lodge at 1680m a.s.l.
Omalόs Plateau
White Mountains, Hania
The famous - mainly due to the gorge of Samaria- plateau of Omalos (GR: Ομαλός) is surrounded by the high crowns of the Lefka Ori (White Mountains) at 1,040 to 1,250 meters and is just 38 km from the town of Chania. It extends to the counties of Sfakia, Selino and Kydonia in the prefecture of Hania. Its shape is nearly rectangular with a perimeter of about 25kms and a diameter of approximately 4 kms. It can be reached by car from the north (Neratzoporo) and from the south (Agios Theodoros).
Platanos village

Platanos (GR: Πλάτανος = plane-tree) is located 10 km from Kasteli Kissamos. It is a large village, the second largest in Kissamos area, after Kasteli. It has approximately 1000 inhabidants, which are occupied mainly in green house and olive cultivation and tourism.
There is a doctor's office, gas stations, many shops, rooms for rent and taverns.
At the village's old square stand a plane-tree with a fountain.
Kaliviani village
The beautiful village of Kaliviani (GR: Καλυβιανή) is located in the beginning of the peninsula of Gramvoussa.
The beauty of the village can be attributed to its wonderful stone houses and to the many flowers that blossom in every yard. Its people are friendly and hospitable.
The tradition is alive in Kaliviani, since even today the houses are built the traditional way, with stones, by skillful technicians.
Kallergi refuge
Lefka Ori, Hania
Kallérgi Mountain Refuge is located on the western region of Crete, above the plateau of Omalos, in the White Mountains (Lefka Ori) mountain range at an altitude of 1680 metres. The site is of unique natural beauty and commands great views to the surrounding peaks and the gorge of Samaria. It can be accessed by car or on foot (1 1/2 hour) via the 5km long dirt road from Omalos. The refuge can accommodate up to 50 people. It features a fully equipped kitchen, a lodge with fire place and wood burning stoves, toilets (indoors and outdoors) and a camping area. Electricity is supplied by a generator.
Kalergi refuge operates throughout the year (from November to March only on weekends)

Venizelos Graves - Prophitis Ilias
Akrotiri, Chania
At the magical and historical location of Profitis Ilias, in Akrotiri, at the east of Hania lays the tomb of Eleftherios Venizelos, one of the most long-standing prime ministers of Greece and whose political life was focused on doubling the size of Greek territory and on the creation of a contemporary State. Eleftherios Venizelos himself had designated this position to be his resting place before his death.
For the visitor, it affords a panoramic view of the rich green plain of Hania, the imposing White Mountains, the Cretan Sea, the town of Hania and the Chalepa quarter which is the location of the house in which the great politician spent most of his life and today is the headquarters of the National Research Foundation 'Eleftherios K. Venizelos'.

Gavalohori village
Apokoronas, Hania
Gavalohóri (GR: Γαβαλοχώρι) is an old big traditional village, with fine examples of traditional rural architecture and stone buildings that are well preserved. The village has been declared a traditional settlement and is awarded a protected status. Many interesting buildings still stand, such as the 18th century olive press, the church of Panagia (Virgin Mary) and that of Agios Sergios, the old school and the complex of the wells from the period of the Venetian occupation.
Kefalas village
Apokoronas, Hania
The community of Kefalas (GR:Κεφαλάς) is situated in Apokoronas, Hania, approximately 4 km to the east of Vamos. During the Venetian occupation higher and lower Kefalas were classed as two separate villages, however, today they have become one. It is a large village built in an
outstanding position
facing the sea with architecture dominated by the influence of the early and late years of the Turkish occupation. This influence is well preserved despite the existence of other architectural styles.
church of Timios Stavros
(16th century) is the oldest building of the village while the more recent churches of Panagia, Agios Antonios, and Michael the archangel, works of the
reputed Kefalas craftsmen
, are examples of folk architecture of the 19th century.
A further example of the work of the same craftsmen is the
Public School of Kefalas
, which in accordance with the decision of the county council of Hania will house the
Environmental Educational Centre
of the prefecture, a foundation that will play a definitive role in the development of the municipality of Vamos. Other interesting communities are
and Drapanos in the direction of Kokino Horio.
The road from Paleloni leads to Embrosgialo, a relatively easily accessible place, along the steep coastline, which extends to Georgioupoli.
Kokino Horio village
Apokoronas, Hania
Kókino Horio
(GR: Κόκκινο Χωρίο), which is located at a higher altitude, has maintained its traditional architectural style even more so than the other villages with its narrow roads, beautiful gates and tiled roofs.
A group of cisterns, built in a sloping field, gather the rainwater, an interesting example of local architecture, dealing with the permanent problem of lack of water.
Above Kokino Horio one can see the strangely shaped hill
or Calapodha (so named during the venetian occupation). The coastline northwest of the village is an extremely interesting place for a stroll due to the ground formation and the caves, such as the
cave of Petsi
(or Karavotopos).
Another cave called
, located at the centre of the village, is also an interesting site.
At cape Drapano, approximately 10 metres under water, is the impressive
Elephant cave
, an area 60mx60m full of stalactites and stalagmites of various shapes and colours.

BOSS Brian McDermott has promised a "good, hard" approach from Leeds Rhinos when they close their regular season away to Huddersfield Giants.
Giants' 38-6 win at Headingley Carnegie in April was marred by red cards for Rhinos' Ryan Bailey and Huddersfield's currently injured forward Luke O'Donnell.
Visiting coach Nathan Brown launched a scathing attack on Bailey after the match – suggesting he could urge his players to take the law into their own hands the next time the teams met.
With Rhinos' hopes of a fifth-place finish resting on tomorrow's showdown, the scene is set for an explosive encounter – but McDermott insists Rhinos won't get drawn into a war.
"If there's going to be any fireworks, that's up to them," McDermott said. "What we will be doing is going there and playing a good, hard game of rugby league. I don't expect anything from my team other than what we always go out to do. "
Victory tomorrow would see Rhinos secure fifth place. although Hull's 34-12 defeat at home Warrington last night, means Leeds can't finish any lower than sixth – ensuring a home fixture.
"We have to make sure we don't give ourselves a hill to climb," McDermott stressed. "We have got to make sure we control the ball and we don't make unforced errors.
"At times we have given ourselves a mountain to climb in games, with some poor kicking and unforced errors.
"We have got to make sure we get that right. We're in a position where we can take care of our own destiny – we have got to go out there and do a job.
"Playing in front of our own crowd in the play-offs is important, we can get a lift off them and it is enjoyable playing at Headingley Carnegie.
"We want to be playing there next week and that's extra motivation to go out there and get the job done."
McDermott admitted April's drubbing is still fresh in some of his players' minds.
"They are talking about it," he confirmed. "I won't be using it as a motivation, we are a different team since then.
"But for some of the players, who got beaten by their opposite number, it is something they will want to put right."
Giants will finish fourth whatever happens tomorrow, but the Leeds coach isn't expecting them to allow his team an easy ride.
"They won't want to go into the play-offs on the back of a poor performance," he stressed. "They have got a lot to play for.
"Their form recently hasn't been that great, but they got back on the horse against Harlequins last week.

App: Autism Language Learning – Series I: Actions
Developer: TalkTime Pediatric Speech Academy
Platform: iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone
Price: $26.99 Download Autism Language Learning
Category: Language Arts – Speech
Using Video to Enhance Language
Most children with autism find language and communication to be challenging. TalkTime Pediatric Speech Academy has created Autism Language Learning, an educational app to help enhance and grow children's language using real-life video scenarios.
Created by a speech-language pathologist, the app includes 35 different verb videos and videos for singular, plural, and mixed pronouns to help children with receptive and expressive language delays.
In addition, the developer has intentionally created the app with limited background noise to avoid echolalia of irrelevant speech.
Easy to Use Language App
Modules are arranged from easiest to most difficult. Once the child chooses a module to work on, a short video clip will play. The child can then tap "Next" or "Previous" to continue.
Audio Options
This app allows you to "mute the audio" so that children can practice or guess what the video is about.
Rhythmic voice output also helps improve children's attention spans and helps them repeat the word shown in the video.
Most children love to hear their own voice! So, they will be thrilled with the option that lets them record your own audio to capture and play back speech.
Expressive Language
The app teaches verb + ing to improve the child's expressive language.
My son struggles with expressive language. When he worked with this app, he found that he could repeat each video while the sound was muted.
The app also teaches he + (is) + ing, which also helps with expressive language.
Action Verbs and Mixed Pronouns
Autism Language Learning: Series I Actions includes colorful, active videos for action verbs like, jumping, stirring, running, and sitting. It also includes mixed pronouns such as, she is petting, she is vacuuming, and he is riding.
The following screen is an example of stirring — just the action verb.
Instead of hearing only the action verb, the next screen is an example of she + (is) + petting, which shows the child an example of mixed pronouns.
This app's video, audio, and many examples of action words will surely keep a child's attention and help them improve their language skills.

University of Arkansas physicists working with researchers in France have shown that a group of materials used in military sonar and medical ultrasound regain their unique properties at high pressures, overturning a belief held for more than 30 years that these properties disappear at high pressures.
"There is different kind of ferroelectricity that appears under high pressures," said Igor Kornev, research professor of physics in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences. Kornev and Laurent Bellaiche, associate professor of physics in Fulbright, together with French researchers Pierre Bouvier of Grenoble, Pierre-Eymeric Janolin and Brahim Dkhil of Paris and Jens Kreisel of Grenoble, reported their findings in the Nov. 4 issue of Physical Review Letters.
Kornev and Bellaiche study ferroelectric materials, which possess spontaneous electrical dipoles, or charge separations. The electrical dipoles allow them to create the images seen in medical ultrasounds and naval sonar by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. These materials also are used to convert signals to sound in cell phones and other audio devices.
The researchers use computational models to determine what will happen to such materials at different temperatures or pressures.
At a certain high pressure, the ferroelectric properties of these materials, called perovskites, were commonly thought to disappear. Researchers believed that this critical pressure caused the atoms to get "stuck," which made it impossible for them to convert energy, meaning that the effect would not reappear even at higher pressures.
Kornev and Bellaiche decided to use a computer model to track the predicted behavior of a system containing lead titanium oxide at pressures higher than those at which the material typically loses its ferroelectric properties. When they performed the computer simulations, they found to their surprise that after a certain higher pressure threshold, the material began to exhibit ferroelectric properties once again.
"It was an unexpected result," Kornev said. Puzzled by these results, the researchers collaborated with physicists at laboratories in Grenoble and Paris, France, to conduct laboratory experiments using the lead titanium oxide under high pressures. They produced the same result: After a certain pressure point was reached, the ferroelectric properties of the material returned.
However, the ferroelectricity stems from different sources at the different pressures, Kornev said.
At low pressures, the lead ions move away from their ideal positions, causing a dipole, or charge separation. However, this dipole gradually disappears as pressure begins to rise. At high pressures, the electron cloud associated with the titanium and the oxygen appears to be responsible for the reappearance of the dipole and the ferroelectric properties, Kornev said.
"In principle, it means that it is possible to use these materials at higher pressures than previously thought," Kornev said.

This museum is very kid friendly! A very fun, interactive place to visit. Our kids loved spending 4 hours there. There is also a gift shop. We will visit again sometime! I highly recommend thus museum for kids and adults.

This isn't the largest natural history museums, but it is one of the best laid out and most interactive I've seen. It is loads of fun for children and adults. My daughter loves to pick out insect, fish, and rock samples from the many cabinets available for individual exploration. Animal pelts that children can touch are also a big hit. There is a planetarium whose showings are included with the price of admission. There's even a few young children's play areas available to round out the fun.
Janet Roach
VERY INTERESTING***** Great displays. We were visiting the area and pleasantly surprised to find this treasure!

This museum has really been updated in the past year. There is a fabulous new Naturalist Center where we could touch over a thousand specimens and examine them up close. The kids love it. They also loved the Tinker Tim Exhibit. It was perfect for them to do hands on stuff. We all enjoy making dams and floating boats in the water table in the river gallery.

An American soldier opened fire on villagers near his base in southern Afghanistan Sunday and killed 16 civilians, according to President Hamid Karzai, who called it an "assassination" and furiously demanded an explanation from Washington. Nine children and three women were among the dead.

"They Hate Us For Our Freedoms"
7 comments:
Too right, Simon. I grew tired of this phrase somewhere around my first year of high school in 1991, the first time we invaded Iraq. A girl in my class had a brother in the Corps and she beat that drum daily - her heroic brother was in Iraq, under fire, because he was defending our freedom from the haters. Sometimes when I look back it is no great wonder to me that I wandered through liberalism for so long, with peers and ideas like that surrounding me.ReplyDelete
But to the point, is it about time that the war in Afghanistan gives up the ghost? It is a failure, and on many levels political, economic, and as this incident demonstrates, moral. War is Hell, and this war is no longer necessary, our objective of routing al Queda accomplished and Bin Laden now dead. The rectitude of our soldiers is crumbling to mingle with the soil of an unconquerable land.
Our freedoms mean nothing to the average Afghani, I imagine. I mourn this tragic event, but worse, I fear that no one will notice or care very much because it happened under Mr. Nobel Peace Prize Nobama's watch and is therefore OK.
Also, cue story as to soldier's Christian conservative background and corresponding low IQ, etc...is there anything that will not be trotted out to excuse the administrations decision to continue the occupation?
The loss of life is very regrettable. Didn't need to happen and it shouldn't have.ReplyDelete
We just need to leave. Right. Now.
Oh, and you're right. They don't hate us for our freedoms. I suspect that what we call freedom they call licentiousness. And they wouldn't be far off. Viewed from an Afghan context, the behavior of American men and especially women (as portrayed in the media) is shockingly slutty and sexually aggressive. Even the comparatively sexually brazen Hindu women in nearby India are prudes by comparison.
They hate us because we're infidels, infidels who also happen to export our vulgar culture with us everywhere.
Last, I note that it was in Kandahar / Helmand province where those 3-4 Army bubbas were busted for posting pix depicting them urinating on Talib corpses.
Not a lot of love lost in those parts, methinks.
Afghanistan was always going to be a lost cause. The American military at large simply doesn't have the barbaric ruthlessness that the ancient Romans had where they slaughtered the entire local population or enslaved it before moving in. The only way a region like Afghanistan was going to be pacified was with a campaign of annihilation, which isn't what the U.S. engages in.ReplyDelete
Needless to say, this soldier murdering over a dozen civilians is likely to cause another explosion of violence in that country. Whatever benefit we were supposed to get from being there has been effectively nullified in recent weeks. Thousands of American soldiers gave their lives for this cause, and for what? Does any American honestly give a damn about Afghanistan? Would anyone be willing to send their son, on their own, to that country to die for it so that the Afghans could have democracy?
They've done far worse to us than urinate on our soldier's bodies, Elusive; considering the fact of child brides, they don't have much room complaining about our sexual deviancy, do they? Shrouding sickness with veils and robes doesn't kill it.ReplyDelete
I think they do hate us for our policies, not just foreign but also for our Christ and our greater power in the world; they believe the children of Allah should rule. What that crazy man did was horrific and only increases the wariness of the Easterners to foreignors. For everyone's sake, we're long overdue to leave. I didn't like some of our actions over there after 9/11, and I don't like our presence there now; it's bad enough that trained men die for nothing without adding unarmed women and children to the mix. I remember a girl too in school, whose brother or cousin was in the war. She wanted him to come home.
@Cranberry- I suspect that the media will pull out all the stops to defend the president's decision to continue this quagmire.ReplyDelete
@EW- I tend to doubt that liscentiousness is as much of a reason; it seems like more of a rationalization, for reasons that Jennifer pointed out. Also, if our decadence were such an issue, why did they attack our center of commerce and center of martial command instead of, say, Las Vegas or Hollywood?
@DW- in addition, Afghanistan is a ridiculously tough place to bring into control. I think Elusive Wapiti did a review on a military history of Afghanistan that says as much. Still, you are correct in noting that America does not have the stomach for the sort of conflict that would enable us to win.
@Jennifer- Seems like Moslem men have a tendency to project a bit, in regards to their sexual purity laws.
Their eyes reveal it - what we are doing to our young men because of this 'war on terrorism' nonsense:ReplyDelete
Some of the changes are more obvious than others in the photos. Oh, and many of these hardened men are coming soon to a police department near you and me.
@Carnivore- Well, at least we haven't had anyone attack us here ever since we started fighting them over there. Oh wait...ReplyDelete

A RARE mistake from keeper Craig Hill paved the way for Oxford City to slip to a 2-1 defeat on the road at East Thurrock on Saturday.
After a goalless first half, the hosts took a 2-0 lead before Sammy Khawaja scored his first goal City to set up a tight finish.
With a weakened City side having crashed out of the Oxfordshire Senior Cup to North Leigh in midweek, boss Mark Jones recalled Hill, Matt Peake-Pijnen, Godfrey Poku, Jefferson Louis and Kaiman Anderson and gave a debut in midfield to Akin Abiola-Daramola.
Thanks to a fine display from Wilson Carvalho and a strong wind behind them, City had the better of the exchanges in the first half.
But their forwards appeared shot-shy and were unable to test the home keeper Lukas Lidakevicius.
The match turned on Thurrock's opening goal in the 54th minute.
Hill received a seemingly routine backpass but dallied on the ball and was dispossessed by Femi Akinwande, leaving the striker with the simplest of finishes.
With 20 minutes remaining, City mustered their best effort of the game as an excellent Scott Davies corner found Lee Henderson, who glanced his header just wide.
City brought on two substitutes as Anderson made way for Ezra Forde and Stephane Ngamvoulou replaced the injured Louis.
Davies shot narrowly over the bar, before the hosts doubled their lead in the 81st minute.
Committing men forward, City were undone by a simple diagonal ball to the left wing. The resulting cross found Scott Heard, who placed his shot underneath Hill.
The goal should have killed City off, but they replied directly from kick-off.
Forde played a delightful ball into the path Khawaja. The youngster kept a cool head to slot past the onrushing Lidakevicius.
City had a golden chance to earn a point in injury time.
A corner gave Hill the opportunity to venture into the opposing box and his imposing frame caused havoc.
The loose ball fell to Khawaja on the edge of the six-yard box but, with the goal gaping, he scooped his shot wide.
Oxford City: Hill, Ngathe (Fleet 57), Peake-Pijnen, Davies, Henderson , Poku, Carvalho, Daramola, Louis (Ngamvoulou 77), Anderson (Forde 69), Khawaja. Sub not used: Tutton.
Attendance: 504.

Darklady's Confessional
The Mother Goose Conspiracy
Before the sexual perversions of Heather Has Two Mommies, and Daddy's Roommate, before the religious confusion of Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret, before the racial slang of Tom Sawyer, and before even the profanity, violence, and cross-dressing of Shakespeare there were insidious, anti-traditional family value forces hard at work twisting and perverting the minds of innocent children under the guise of entertainment and fun. No wonder we are now a culture rife with Long Island Iced Teas, gravity bongs, ribbed and flavored condoms, push-up bras, hot bi babes, swingers' conventions, Joy Jelly, double dongs, cock rings, and genital piercings. We never had a chance.
The brainwashing began early; in the very nursery itself and often by those we trusted most. Our mothers, our fathers, even our grandparents poured moral poison into our guileless ears… as theirs had done to them when they had been too naïve to speak out in their own defense. But someone must stand up for the children and if not me, then who? Who will warn present and future men and women of child bearing years and beyond about the hideous danger that lurks on the bookshelves of our children's bedrooms, their school libraries, their local bookstores? Someone must speak loud and clear about the ghastly danger presented to the young and vulnerable by nursery rhymes.
Think about it for a moment. These early, almost hallucinatory tales of falling eggs, jumping cows, romantically involved dishes and spoons, mutilated and visually impaired mice – what kind of surreal landscape are we preparing our children for? More to the point, what kind of family structures are we raising our young to consider natural and appropriate? I present for your consideration two well-respected and popular nursery rhymes.
1) As I Was Going to St. Ives: "As I was going to St. Ives/ I met a man with seven wives/ And every wife had seven sacks/ And every sack had seven cats/ And every cat had seven kits/ Kits, cats, sacks, wives/ How many were going to St. Ives?"
Is it any wonder that so-called "responsible non-monogamy" is becoming so popular in a culture where this kind of marital confusion has been presented at the very crib? Surely, this supposedly innocent 18th century riddle explains Salt Lake City, Utah, if nothing else.
2) There Was An Old Woman: "There was an old woman who lived in a shoe/ She had so many children, she didn't know what to do/ She gave them some broth without any bread/ Whipped them soundly and sent them to bed."
Although there's no mention of a father figure in this single-parent poem, it's redeemed somewhat by the introduction of stern discipline. But let's face it, the question of how this "old woman" came to have so many children and how she supports them is left entirely to speculation. For all we know this crone has kidnapped healthy babies in order to sell them on the black market – or worse, luxuriates on Welfare while the government rewards her for her indolence.
Hopefully you now see the grave danger that lurks among us, threatening not only the vital "moral values" that were so clearly expressed by the American people during the most recent presidential election, but the very future of this country or, perhaps, all of humanity. I can only pray that the new Attorney General will spend as much time working to combat this menace to the most vulnerable among us as the previous one spent to speaking out against images of adult men and women engaging in mutually consensual intimacy with one another.

How to Do Vintage Shopping Like Kate Moss: Pro Tips From London's Coolest Boutique
I first heard of Rellik, a high-end vintage boutique in northwest London, from a close friend who shares my fashion obsessions. "Don't tell anyone," she insisted. At the time it was known-but-not-known—only moments from the famed Portobello Market and steps from the trendy shops of Golborne Road, frequented by Kate Moss, Laura Bailey, and Roberto Cavalli's Peter Dundas—but still far enough from the beaten path that tourists weren't likely to stumble across it. Now, a few years and many Google hits and Instagram posts later, the secret is out—but even though it's been "discovered," Rellik remains a shopping mecca for die-hard vintage fans. The real secret is not the store itself, but knowing how to smartly search for the best pieces tucked away on its racks.
On a recent trip, I fell in love with an Yves Saint Laurent velvet tunic with jewel-encrusted sleeves (which I instantly regretted not purchasing); admired a Vivienne Westwood pleated skirt; and walked out with a label-less black silk chiffon slip dress with a flower-embroidered hem. As Steven Phillip, one of Rellik's three owners, puts it: "It's more relevant today to seek the past than it ever has been—to try to find something different, something unique."
When buying for the store, Phillip (who refers to himself as a "hunter-gatherer") looks for staples, which he describes as classic pieces with a lovely print and quality that will never date. That could mean a Gucci coat from the 1970s, Roberto Cavalli suede, an Hermès scarf, a Burberry trench, or a '70s Yves Saint Laurent peasant blouse or mac, the latter of which he believes "will be your best friend for life." "It shouldn't always matter about the label, but," he laughs, "the world loves the labels."
Ultimately, Phillip champions individuality—on the runway and off. "You need the eccentric girl. You need the classic girl that's quite happy in her Céline coat and Hermès Birkin. You also need the girl that dresses down who looks amazing in a pair of Converse and a Comme des Garçons tie dress. And you need a bit of glamour as well."
Here, Phillip shares his pro tips for the best vintage shopping, no matter whether you're taking a break from the London shows at Rellik and its Portobello neighbors or plotting your Paris Fashion Week strategy for the Porte de Vanves. Beware: You may never buy new again.
1. The early bird catches the worm.
"Always go into a vintage shop as early as you can because you will need time to look. Wherever you go in the world, check the opening hours of the vintage shops or flea markets. There's no point in going to Portobello Market on a Friday at 10 past 4:00—there's nothing left! You've got to be in it to win it. That's the golden rule."
2. Go your own way.
"Never take a friend who's not truly interested because they'll just be standing in the doorway. If you come with a group, they'll all want to go out for coffee. Take a friend who's in it just as much as you so the two of you can really look. If in doubt, though, go on your own!"
3. Look through everything.
"There are always treasures in these racks, but it's up to you to go through them! Too many people come into Rellik and just glance. They'll only look at something shiny or they'll pick the most outrageous hat just because it's fun. But then underneath that, if you look properly, there'll be two of the best Yves Saint Laurent blouses and those are the pieces that you really want to find. You don't know what you're looking for until you find it."
4. Put pieces off to the side as you shop.
"If you see something you think you quite like, ask the owner if you can put it to one side, and then you can do an edit when you've looked at everything. You might have 20 pieces put away, but you'll have researched that shop in the hour you've been there. When you're editing, look at it carefully, try it on to see how it fits and to see what you can do for it."
5. If it's pricey, ask yourself questions.
"Do you really need it? Do you really want it? Is it an investment piece? It's just a process you've got to go through."
6. But if it's under $300, buy it!
"If you see something under $300 and you put it on and straightaway it's an 8 out of 10 or a 9 out of 10, buy the f---ing thing because it's cheaper than Topshop and it's cheaper than the high street. Never, ever leave anything if it's under $300 because you'll only regret it."
7. If you do make a mistake, resell it online.
"We're in a day and age where if you bought something for $300, you could always resell it. If you buy a vintage Pucci dress for $300 that doesn't work for you, you can put it on the Internet and easily get your money back. If you had gone straight to the Pucci store and spent $2,500, you're never going to get that money back, so keep it real."
8. Know what you like.
"Think of your labels and think what you like. If it's just fun and you like it, stick to that low price. If it's got a really nice label, go to that middle market because you could always resell it again because of the label. You mustn't be frightened and think, No. You've got to go into this arena with an open mind."
9. Mix and match vintage and new.
"When you wear everything new, you just look the same as everyone else, but when you wear all vintage, it starts to become too contrived and too literal. My advice is always keep one, possibly two bits of vintage in your look. A lot of people make the mistake of buying all vintage—say, a '60s Courrèges dress, '60s shoes, and '60s glasses—and you think, The idea was to have only a hint of vintage. Keep it modern."
Most important, Phillip adds, "It's not always about following what's on the catwalk. It's going about with your heart and with your head and what you like and your choice. You've got to be able to speculate, to think ahead what you feel is quite cool for the moment. That could come not necessarily from looking through magazines or looking at shows, it could just come from the street. It could come from what's going on around you. It could be a movie. It could be a movement. It could be a whole makeup of all these things. That's how you pick up vintage pieces that feel relevant and are strong now."

JA in a Day
"What an amazing experience! The school and teachers were so welcoming and the children were beyond excited. There were just too many memorable moments to list just one or two, but I will say first graders will ask you just about anything! For the most part, the kids stayed engagaged in the lessons we were teaching. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the day went and how much the children participated. JA in a Day is a great program and I am so happy I was able to be a part of it." ~ JA in a Day Volunteer 2015
JA in a Day is a school-day event at the elementary school level. Volunteers present Junior Achievement lessons in every classroom in a single school day instead of over 5 consecutive weeks. Programs focus on financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship. Each JA in a Day requires approximately 40 volunteers and JA of Central Virginia offers up to fifteen of these events every year to area schools.
It's a great service option for large groups, pairs or solo volunteers!
Junior Achievement provides volunteers with a one hour training and all materials needed to present the programs. Teachers remain in the classroom the entire time and JA staff is on hand to answer any questions. The day usually runs 5 to 6 hours long, usually beginning between 7:30am and 8:30am.
What are the benefits of JA in a Day?
- Programs correlate to VA Standards of Learning objectives
- Programs serve as introductions or reviews to various Economics, Math, English and Civics
- Students have fun while learning valuable economic and business concepts in a fun, hands-on way
- Volunteers share their experiences to enhance learning and to serve as positive role models
- The condensed format allows more students to take advantage of Junior Achievement programs
- Volunteers are encouraged to work in groups of two or three

Rosanna is no longer the only model nutritionist as rival Roz goes back to college
Watch out Rosanna Davison - there's another beauty queen with a nutrition qualification in town.
The former Miss World previously said her unique selling point was that she was a pageant queen with a degree in nutrition, but now rival Roz Purcell has gone back to college.
Both catwalk queens have cookbooks set to hit the shelves this year and now Roz (24) is studying to make sure she's also well up on her facts.
"I've gone back to study a course in nutritional therapy, because I had really wanted to do it for ages, and it wasn't anything to do with anything else. I wanted to learn about it and have a stamp," Roz told the Herald.

"I get so many emails every day from people wanting advice and I'd always go back and say, 'Well, I can give the advice of what only works for me and my body, but we're all different and I'm not qualified'.
"So many of my followers listen to every single thing that I say, and I got to the stage where I felt I'd like to do something where I could actually give them the right information.
"I'm studying at the Institute of Health Sciences because, out of all the courses, it's the most up-to-date and it's quite balanced.
"Some can be very old fashioned or some can be extremist, trying to turn you into a veggie.
"I want a general overview of everything and not come out of it biased.
"I'm not specifically into diet - I'm not vegan or strictly paleo, I'm more about whole foods and preparation," she added.
Rosanna (31) previously said she would find it "difficult" to trust someone who wasn't qualified.
"What's important to me is having my nutrition qualification, because it's very easy to bandy about the idea of healthy eating - and I would find it very difficult to take advice from somebody who's not qualified in the area," she said.
"Once you study it, you realise what's healthy and what's not.

"So there's nobody else out there that has my qualification and also has a world title in the beauty area, and can combine them both," she added.
While Rosanna's book, Eat Yourself Beautiful, will hit the shelves next month, Roz will be releasing hers in time for Christmas.
"I'm finishing editing it this month and I can't wait - I don't really feel like I've had a summer yet," Roz said.
"I've so many recipes - over 250 - that they're already looking at a second book."
Both books will be published by Gill & Macmillan - and it remains to be seen who will win the model book wars.

Ethnicity Discrimination in Romania`s Labour Market
By discrimination one understands any distinction, exclusion, restriction, preference, different treatment that puts a person or a group to disadvantage when compared to other persons /groups in similar situations. Discrimination is a general feature of social life and it is rooted into preconception. By preconception one understands rejecting the "other" as member of a group which is invested with negative feelings. In this article, we analysed the main ethnic groups from Romania (Romanian, Hungarian and Rroma) based on the data provided by the population census (2002), by the Discrimination among employers Survey (2010) and by the European Union Minorities and Discrimination Survey (2009). Rroma population shows the highest level of vulnerability on the labor market in Romania, because they are discriminated both by the employers and by the dominant population as a consequence of the way they are perceived.

Astronomy Photographer of the Year @ Greenwich Observatory
Until 19th July
Admission is normally paid at the Greenwich Observatory, though entrance to this exhibition is free. It's a constant surprise to me just how much context can perception of visual art. The photographs on here are art, just as the wonderful recent exhibitions in the Science Museum were. Yet there is still an odd voice in your head which tells you that if it is in an educationally inclined museum, it is only a piece of documentary, and does not have the contemplativeness or multiplicity of art in a gallery. Granted, the presentation space is often limited (the photographs here are disappointingly small) but the field of astrophotography has common links with the conventional aesthetic world that we should not ignore. Astrophotography has a long and proud history, but it was a combination of the Cold War thawing (giving a new scope to space exploration, driven forward by Carl Sagan, outside of superpower competition) and the development of high-quality images, especially from the Hubble Space Telescope, which allowed it to become what it is today.
Possibly the most photogenic space object is the Horsehead Nebula, and it is rendered here stunningly by Bill Snyder. As the accompanying text suggests, it is a more distanced view of the nebula than we would expect, more willing to accommodate the cosmic dust which surrounds it. The revisitings of the nebula by astrophotographers puts me in mind of animal photography of the 18th century where animals were painted somewhat obsessively (Waldemar Janusczak mentioned in his documentary on Rococo that Clara the rhino was the most painted model of the 18th century), in particular horses. The most commanding painting of a horse to be found in London is George Stubbs' painting Whistlejacket, which looms large even through several sets of doors in the National Gallery. The focus on the horse and its anatomy – rather than its (royal) rider – upsets the hierarchy of genres and thus Stubbs in the 18th century and Snyder in the 21st are connected by a willingness to see past the obvious iconography and accommodate peripheral or traditionally neglected elements of composition.
Sat at the top of that hierarchy was history painting, and I've often thought that the Hubble Deep Field image is like a modern corollary for the epic canvases of history paintings like The Surrender At Breda,The Ratification Of The Treaty Of Munster, or anything by David. We can't look at our leaders in the way that those paintings suggest, so we choose different ones, putting together galaxies rather than kings, part of the Saganian endeavour to use our trivial position in space as a binding agent for humanity.
Exploration no longer has to be about colonisation, and by extension, militarism. The galaxies of the deep field hold the same power over us that mythical figures and semi-mythical leaders do in history painting, making us tremble and marvel at their sublime size and distance from us, while appreciating the harmony of their construction.
I should also give a mention especially to the 'Young Astronomy Photographer' category, as the wealth of talent on show from such young people is really quite something. My favourite photograph from that selection was not the overall winner but one called 'Moon Behind The Trees' by the 12 year old (!) Emily Jeremy.
Understated but alluring, it's a more humble effort than some of the panoramas on show but stands out for that very reason. A little shiny penny in a room full of silver.
Christian Marclay @ White Cube Bermondsey
Until 12th April
Christian Marclay: master of all trades, jack of none. Painting, sound art, video art are all on display in his current exhibition at the White Cube in Bermondsey. I don't think I've ever left a gallery with such a big smile on my face as I did after this one. It's split into three sections, with the first one you hear being Pub Crawl, a video installation consisting of the artist approaching detrital bottles and cans on a weekend morning and coaxing a rhythm out of them which, when multiplied tenfold, creates a unique array of different soundscapes as the videos run over each other. It's cheeky, as are the other elements of this exhibition. The set of paintings on display build a surprisingly simple bridge between Roy Liechtenstein's brand of Pop Art and Abstract Expressionism, so much so that you wonder why no-one has done it in this way before, though there is a debt to Robert Rauschenberg and Ed Ruscha's combination of Pop Art with typography. An intriguing attempt to describe sound using purely visual stimuli, which is also the impression given by the final part of the exhibition, Surround Sounds. Surround Sounds consists of a video projection, approximately 20 minutes long, which occurs continuously over four walls of a darkened room. The walls are filled with onomatopoeia from comic books which act out what they indicate, e.g. 'beeps' and 'boops' flit across the walls quicker than you can follow them, 'cracks' tear asunder and reveal new ones before dismantling the entire wall, and 'tics' methodically progress around the room.
It's a great space to simply be in, and if they can stomach the at-times intensive lights and choreography, then children will have a blast. There is something quite ghoulish about being surrounded on all sides though. Simply being in a 360 degree space puts you in mind of the postmodern philosophers like McLuhan, Baudrilliard and Jameson who discuss the ubiquity of the screen and how media impacts our perception of the world (if you do bring your children, probably don't try and tell them this). Stepping into the room provides you with that latent dread of things happening around you that you can't notice, which is a side effect of globalisation – of not realising how butterfly effects lead into catastrophic world-changing ones, as can be seen in the Middle East today. Added onto that, Marclay's masterful employment of the After Effects software makes the onomatopoeia super-powerful, begging the question of how much reported events are caricatured like a comic strip, with triumphant 'biffs' and 'boshes' ringing out across the world.
PS: After some thought I realised there IS a precedent for what Marclay is doing in the gaming world – the criminally underrated 2003 FPS XIII is rendered in a cel-shaded style
which goes as far as providing the classic comic book sound effects at certain points. It works surprisingly well, given that they were originally used in comic books as a necessity given the staticness of the form.
Joseph Kosuth: Amnesia @ Spruth Magers
Exhibition now closed because I took too long to write this fucking review
While I left the White Cube grinning from ear to ear, my reaction to Joseph Kosuth's exhibition at the Spruth Magers gallery was colder, despite the radiating neon lights around the gallery. Don't get me wrong – I like some of Kosuth's work. One And Three Chairs is one of the most important pieces of the last 100 years. But overall this is an exhibition that seems more concerned with importance than anything else. The text advertises the artist's engagement with highfalutin ideas from Wittgenstein and others but there is no gateway, nothing to draw you out of your regular perception and into the artist's vision. Without that, it comes off as a purely academic exercise. Kosuth's contemporaries Ed Ruscha and Lawrence Weiner have, in recent exhibitions, demonstrated how the tactic of pulling language out of context can have an emotive tug, but it is absent here. The ludic element to the display means that you're scanning for something that isn't really there – the art is supposed to be inferred from the elements' relationship to one another, which never really happens. Kosuth appears to be trying to construct his art backwards, by creating works which fit themselves into a philosophical paradigm, but there is no organic growth from individual response, meaning it appears essayistic. In conjunction with that, Kosuth (inspired by a broad pessimism about language and statement-making) is constantly undercutting himself, as any position he seems to offer is quickly withdrawn and placed under another meta-position. It's a persistent withdrawal, offering a statement and then thinking that a statement upon that statement is the real objective – a process which comes to no logical end. I also didn't get any impression that neon was an essential medium for it – there was very little in the way of interaction with 'public writing' as promised, which Ruscha and Weiner carry off so well.
Mary Ramsden: Swipe @ Pilar Corrias Gallery
Until 28th February
Some concepts make you smile simply by reading about them, and Mary Ramsden's choice of composition, of using smudges to represent the biological and digital smears we leave in our wake, made me want to experience it immediately. As well as that there are some pieces where the bulk of the canvas is blocked out, but these works pale in comparison to the powerful specimens at the Adventures of the Black Square exhibition in Whitechapel gallery – I did not get a sense of presence with Ramsden's blocks, whether censorial or otherwise. The main 'swipe' pieces on the other hand are quite something, particularly with pieces like Lurid and Cute which create quite impressive accidental Expressionist volumes. The theme at heart of linking thumb swiping with the 'impression' left in a digital space – both in terms of handing over private information and digital personae – is incredibly zeitgeist and I hope Ramsden pursues it in more detail. In fact this exhibition fell slightly short of greatness for me, because I felt there was room to explore that dichotomy of the clean screen which hides all kind of fecal bacteria and nasty stuff you carry on your fingers alongside the 'clean', high brightness image of ourselves we use social media to project. Still, Ramsden is an emerging artist and I look forward to seeing what she produces in the future.

New Delhi, India (PressExposure) August 08, 2011 -- This Saturday, the Nelson Mandela Marg was abuzz with activity beyond the usual frenzy of shoppers visiting the Vasant Kunj malls as hundreds of nature lovers, environment enthusiasts, school and college students, and young professionals joined WWF-India in the launch of their new campaign- Cities for Forests on 30th July, 2011.
The supporters held placards and banners for passers by, tied banners and signage on trees along the road and reached out to thousands who visit these malls over weekends. Similar launch events were also organized in Bangalore, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bhopal, Jabalpur, Ramnagar, and Dehradun.
The Cities for Forests campaign focuses on raising awareness about the intrinsic link between forests and human well-being, with a primary focus on changing perception of youth all over the country. It encourages individuals to discover, visit, and document the forests that support their cities in innumerable ways, and share their findings on http://www.citiesforforests.in, an interactive platform to upload stories, pictures, presentations, and videos about individual observations of the city's forests and green spaces.
A large number of supporters, with an aim to raise awareness on the city's green spaces and urban forest cover, gathered at the Nelson Mandela Marg in Delhi. The location was ideal to kick start the campaign, as it is amongst the greenest areas in the city, and one that is increasingly becoming a symbol of new development with numerous malls coming up in the vicinity.
Introducing the campaign, Mr. Ravi Singh, Secretary General & CEO, WWF-India, said, "City dwellers often forget their inter-dependence on forests - fresh air, water, recreational activity, sources of wilderness and imagination. 'Cities for Forests', with its unique call to action, aims to build environment awareness amongst citizenry, to enlarge the support and understanding for the protection of India's forests and her natural heritage."
The trees in the area were soon covered with banners and props, each carrying a message on the importance of green spaces in the ecology of human habitats.
Enthusiastic volunteers formed human chains holding placards and banners carrying conservation messages like 'Save our city's lungs' while the others interacted with shoppers around the malls, urging them to take action towards saving our city's forests.
The Cities for Forests campaign will make individuals, schools and institutions Forest Champions of their cities, and take forward the momentum that is built through this mobilisation. The first phase of the campaign culminates in October. WWF-India plans to organize events across various cities during the Wildlife Week, where some of the best findings shared by individuals or groups of that city will be presented to key decision makers, local politicians, experts and advisors of the city's government, and environment journalists, to build positive political pressure towards the need to protect urban forests and reach out to those who can bring about a change.
