Screen Time for Toddlers - The Bad & The Ugly
Before we talk about the bad & ugly though - I'll start out by going through just a few shows that aren't particularly offensive to me as a parent and speech pathologist, but that aren't good enough to make my list of the top five shows I'll let my son watch without me. Some of these shows are extremely cute, enjoyable enough that I don't mind watching them, and have the typically toddler theme units to help your toddler learn specific concepts and vocabulary, but I just find there to be better options if I'm not right there. I will definitely watch some of these shows with Little Man, but I make sure that I'm there and interacting with him the entire time, pointing out what is happening, working on new vocabulary words, or identifying new concepts. Those shows on my "Meh" list are as follows:
- Bubble Guppies
- Curious George
- Sesame Street
- Jake & The Neverland Pirates
- Little Einsteins
- Handy Manny
- Doc McStuffins
- Phineas and Ferb {This one gets equally as many great reviews as it gets bad ones from what I've heard, but I don't love it for the fact that it seems to be teaching the same theme - over, and over, and over again.}
There are a few other shows that hit my middle of the road category that I wanted to go into a bit further.
The first is Yo Gabba Gabba. I know this is a huge hit for many parents and kids, but for me it falls right into the middle. I love how expressive the facial expressions are made on the characters - you can visibly and plainly see when they are upset or happy. I also love the themed units and their use of song to teach concepts. As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, Little Man knows when I softly sing the tune of "Inside voice - quiet" that he needs to decrease his volume or whisper if we're trying to walk past Little Lady's room without waking her. It's a great, fun method of teaching simple concepts to use song.
But what I don't like is the transitions from segments on the show and the seemingly unrelated content in each episode. Each episode has random transitions of children riding toys around the screen as well as video game clips that have absolutely nothing to do with the theme of the day. There are also a bunch of segments such as funny faces and Biz's beat of the day that also don't even remotely related to their main topic. It may be hard to understand for younger kids why that material is at all relevant to what they're watching, when really - it just isn't.
Another show on my Meh list is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I used to really like MMC, but after watching a bit, I realized the amount of possible learning to come from the show compared to the amount of time spent watching the show was not a good ratio. The concepts taught are also very basic and limited, and suited to very young toddlers. One other thing that bothers me a bit is the character Pete. I don't hugely love that he is constantly trying to steal things from the other characters and is just, in general, not a great guy, but whenever Mickey or any of the other characters refer to him, it's "our friend Pete." I'm not a fan of the fact that it shows kids that their friends can walk all over them and have no ramifications for it. {For the same reasons, I'm not a huge fan of Dora the Explorer and Swiper.}
The third on the middle of the road shows I wanted to talk about today was Eebee baby. I've had a few readers ask me specifically about this show. To be honest, I'd never heard of it until asked to talk about it in this post series. From the limited amount of episodes I was able to watch on Netflix, it seems like Eebee baby is a show to help children learn through action by completing tasks such as water play, scooping, turning dials, fastening, etc. Overall, before I go into the specifics - this show is kind of creepy. Eebee is an odd creature and they don't talk very much during the show - which as a SLP I don't love. However, the play they're modeling is very age appropriate for older babies and younger toddlers, and the tasks are fun. I think my main concern is that this is NOT a show to just set your toddler down in front of and walk away. To learn much of anything from this show, it'd be more appropriate to play the show and then immediately do the same activities shown. In that thought though, you're probably going to have to demonstrate how to play anyway, so maybe just watching Eebee baby yourself for the ideas and then playing those activities with your child would be the best option.
So let's talk about the Ugly - those shows I'm against showing to my toddler as a SLP.
1. Any show made for adults {The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, etc.}
This should go without saying. Really, it should. But sadly it doesn't. {Sigh.}
For many families with whom I've worked, putting on one cartoon is the same as putting on any other. But cartoons made for adults are just that - made for adults. The consuming of alcoholic beverages or using illegal substances, overt sexual themes, violence, poor language, and just in general inappropriate content matter is just the tip of the iceberg with these shows. While it's great for a laugh after your children are asleep, for the love of all that is holy - please don't play these shows while your child is watching.
2. Teach your child to read {Or any other DVD program that claims to teach your child something out of their developmentally appropriate timeline}
Any program you buy claiming to teach an infant how to read, speak, or do cartwheels is probably a waste of money, bottom line. There is a reason children develop at a certain rate, and their cognition can only stretch so far out of those parameters. Additionally, I'm against any program that advocates ignoring the AAP's recommendation for no screen time before the age of two, especially if it requires hours upon hours of screen time per week. It just isn't a good option for your kids. If you're concerned with their development or believe your child is not on track, please contact your pediatrician and ask for a referral to be evaluated by your local speech, occupational, or physical therapists!
3. Barney & Friends
Barney is an example of how not to help your child develop socially and emotionally. In most situations, Barney responds in ways that I don't find pragmatically appropriate, glossing over the children's feelings and concerns, or giggling through hurting himself or being upset. Also, if you watch an episode of Barney, there is never any real tension between characters or any need of conflict resolution. It does a poor job of displaying actual possibilities of interaction between the children pictured, showing that everyone always gets along in perfect happiness with each other.
I'd heard recently that the show had been a bit better in these aspects from a friend, so we gave it another shot. In the one episode I watched with Little Man {the only episode of Barney he's ever seen}, the children were about to construct an airplane out of boxes and "fly" it. The children assigned themselves characters: the blonde girl as the flight attendant, the brunette, white boy as the pilot, and the hispanic boy as a passenger going to visit his grandmother. As that point, because of those gender and cultural stereotype and roll fulfillment as well as the poor social/emotional example, we turned off the TV and went to play with some toys. Sorry, Barney. You failed your second chance.
4. Caillou
This is another show we'd actually never watched, but in preparing for this post I did a bit more research. I'd heard from other parents that it was a terrible show, and - after watching - I have to agree. Caillou comes off as ungrateful and whiny. He (she?) treats his parents poorly and they tend to be somewhat of pushovers in the show. After watching several episodes, I hadn't heard the words please, thank you, or I'm sorry once, though they would apply in several situations. For all the possible lessons a child could learn from this show, I still wouldn't choose it as a good or even middle of the road option.
5. Sponge Bob
As for Sponge Bob, this article from ABC News sums it up quite nicely. Starting off, Sponge Bob was "made to entertain 6 to 11 year old children, not made to teach preschoolers," per Jane Gould - a senior VP at Nickelodeon. So, it isn't even made to teach older children, just to occupy their time. Which, if you've read my previous posts - you know that I'm not a fan of that other than occasionally and with good quality content. Sponge Bob does not have quality characters, has fast transitions which I find to tax cognitive processing, and shows content that I find to be inappropriate for both preschoolers and older aged children in terms of social interaction, ability to transfer to real life scenarios, and poor connection to loud and distracting music.
Funny story though, the study I cited above used watching Caillou as one of their control groups as a good example of toddler programming... {double sigh.}
So there you have it.
When we are looking for television programming in the Naptown Organizer household, these are the shows upon which we never land. Tune in tomorrow for my Tips & Tricks post on how to cut your television bills while at the same time keeping your children healthier at the same time! Later on in the week I also have posts lined up discussing how to decrease your child's current TV obsession and how to teach your child using the television!
In the meantime, do you agree with the bad & the ugly programs I've listed above?

Mickey Mouse is a common show in our house. I have the same concern for Pete, but I guess voiced a little differently. My beef with Pete's character is that he is sometimes the bad guy and sometimes a friend. I feel if an older child, or a child that is already in day care might be able to relate to Pete for being on the "outs" from popular kids. Pete is also "overweight" and is the only one in the show that could be described this way, also giving way to his "position" in the group of friends. Pete is not a character to model after, and I am afraid kids that might be able to identify with Pete and start portraying his actions.ReplyDelete
That being said, my 2 year old loves MMC for right now.
Although I do not have a toddler as of yet (still a crawler), I found this list to be very helpful with what kinds of shows are developmentally okay. Will there be a list of good shows? Is watching home movies developmentally helpful for one's child? I read somewhere that it was but do not remember where. I used to be a nanny in Canada and one of the WORST shows I saw there was a show "The Doodlebops" that the children were allowed to watch each day. Ugh. It was like a musical version of Teletubbies where all the characters spoke in high voices...even the men. What is your opinion about letting children watch shows that have large vocabularies from the time they are very small like Julius Sumner Miller, my husband watched that show from the time he was about 3 and in it he explains he does not believe in speaking down to children in order to stretch their minds. Can early exposure to a developed vocabulary in good television shows help children more than the shows that speak "baby talk" even if the subject matter might not all be understandable at the time?ReplyDeleteReplies
Julius Sumner Miller taught science experiments and learning through science, yes? I think that if your child is interested in something like that, and you're watching with them, that you'd be able to bring it to their developmental level by highlighting what the person is doing instead of the science behind it. I just don't know how long that would hold a toddler's attention! :)Delete
That said, I fully believe that the lessons you expose your child to depend on what level your child currently functions. Depending on the level, sometimes "baby talk" is developmentally appropriate. One way we teach our younger clients speech is to simplify our speech into word units that they are able to identify in isolation in order to learn the concept or vocabulary word.
Opps! Sorry, for some reason the 'good shows' article didn't come up at first. Nevermind on that point! :DReplyDelete
As you know, we LOVE, YGG around here. But I think your reasons for it only being "meh" are spot on. I never really understand the transitions myself -- so how can a toddler? But the music keeps my kid hooked.ReplyDelete
And I 100% agree with your "ugly" shows. They do not go on in my house.
I completely agree with your ugly show list. Those shows are terrible for kids!ReplyDelete
I admit, one of the boys is a Little Einsteins addict. I dig it for the exposure to orchestral music and art, less for the language. Not to mention that each show is focused on the characters solving problems, which I also like.Replies
Little Einsteins almost made my top list :)Delete
I am shocked that adults would think cartoons like family Guy are for kids! Now I personally love that show but it's so offensive in certain ways it's definitely NOT for my 2 year old!ReplyDelete
Sesame Workshop has done a lot of research on holding kids attentions and transitions, so much so that a few years ago the debut of Elmo's World was in response to most kids not paying attention for the full hour - so they shortened the traditional show to 45 minutes and added in Elmo's world for the last 15 which I think was a smart move - they said that kids responded much better to it! They also found the 'magazine format' (different short segments) helps to teach a concept from different angles as long as it follows a general story, which the newer ones (that I've seen) do. Two thumbs up in my book!Replies
That sounds great about the newer format of Sesame Street! I feel like I've only seen older episodes on our Netflix. I'll have to look again!Delete
I have to disagree with you on Barney. We let C watch a half hour of Barney most mornings (I watch it with her). There are a lot of episodes where the characters have to learn to share, use their manners, or do things that maybe they don't want to do. The show also teaches children about the importance of loving one another, caring about the planet, doing things that are healthy for our bodies, overcoming fear, etc.ReplyDelete
In my opinion, having watched several of the episodes, it's one of the few shows I actually do feel comfortable allowing my child to watch.

Hey guys,
I've got my hackintosh nearly finished! - I'm running an Intel i3, Hd 4000, 4GB of ram...But I have one major problem!
When using Safari, Steam and Spotify - Among various other apps, i get this:
I don't know how to fix - i was told to inject hd 4000 kexts, but I have no idea where to do this. Enabling QE/CI may help apparently but I also have no idea how to fix this.
Any idea? thanks.


text: This painting is one of Georges Seurat's from 1884-1886. I find it interesting that Seurat spent two years developing this painting and how large the actual size of the art is. He seemed to have concentrated on the issues of color, light, and form in this painting and most of his other paintings. It is amazing how Seurat was able to create the entire painting by using contrasted miniature dots, and founding the form of pointillism. The color of the dots, through optical unification, from one single hue when looking at the painting. One thing that I noticed is that Seurat actually painted a border/frame, made of small dots also, around the painting, itself. At first, most wouldn't notice the frame, but I think that it is a major part of the painting.

"I read somewhere that 77 percent of all the mentally ill live in poverty. Actually, I'm more intrigued by the 23 percent who are apparently doing quite well for themselves." - Jerry Garcia
Despite the enormous esteem he has garnered from virtually every corner of the music world, Jerry Garcia has continued to elude both fans and music historians as they attempt to determine his origins and categorize his art and influence on American music. Part of their difficulty lies in the fact that his work as the frontman for the Grateful Dead, "one of the most prolific and iconic guitarists of the twentieth century", tended toward a blending of the traditional with the experimental. He was willing to use almost any and every available ethnic musical resource. Garcia's passionate interest in virtually every nook and cranny of American music, particularly rural music, made the task of following his concepts from moment to moment an unpredictable and inexact science. In his explorations and elaborations on old musical treasures, whether familiar or obscure, he fully indulged in almost all of them at one time or another. For Garcia, this was not a career move but a joyous personal search to create a vast palette of harmonic, rhythmic, and textural escapades.
As an iconic example of the "communitarian, drug-positive hippie subculture of Haight-Ashbury", and fulfilling all the expectations of the devotees who immersed themselves in the era's music, Garcia could just as easily draw from classical music as he could from American jazz. He performed highly regionalized blues in all of their dialects, along with country music, numerous shades of rock music, and any combination of all of them.

Yikes, potentially moving to Toronto in November!(9 Posts)
Can someone please let me know the positives as all I can see is that it's going to be a brutal 4 months when the Canadians go into hibernation and we do the moving admin.
We have lived in To before but not with small children. We're going back to an area we know and have friends, who will have moved on. I'm thrilled to be leaving my commute, thrilled to be going home, it feels like home even although neither of us Canadian.
But I'm scared, full day kindergarten, what do I do with DC the rest of the year? I can't find any info on-line, I think I'm just supposed to know.
To French immersion or not? Which year would suit them best, they're new year babies. So many education decisions.
What should we pack and take with us, what to leave? Ship our whole flat over, or go with the minimum
I'm going to miss Waitrose deliveries, I'll need to actually go to a supermarket! We both loathe supermarket shopping. Is there online shopping in To?
The skiing and sledging at the weekend. The bright winter days. The guaranteed summer, the open air pools, so many things to look forward to.
I've not agreed to this move yet, DC are very happy in nursery and I have a job I love, but that seems to be the only staying factors. We don't live near our families here. DH wants to go home and has a job offer starting by November, so really need to make a decision soon. This came completely out of the blue.
Apologies, this post is long and all over the place, that's how I feel. Tell me to get a grip and it'll be fabulous and the winter is only 4 months and the spring will arrive. And it'll be fabulous.
Well winter is more like 5-6 months But there are so many great things about Toronto, as you know. I'm sure it will be fabulous!
No actual advice, I'm afraid. We're contemplating a move back to Canada in a couple of years and I wonder about some of the same issues.
Thank you, I feel better just for just writing it down.
I don't think they do online groceries in TO, or most of Canada. We have family there with young DC and they really like it. I think the school system is more laid back than it is here (I doubt they fine you for going on holiday, for example, but I haven't lived there since having DC so I don't really know). DH came back from there recently with a picture of an EMPTY SUBWAY PLATFORM, (a relatively central one even) taken at 5pm (!!!).
Some places in Canada have online groceries - I think Loblaw do it. Not in my area though.
School you won't have much choice, it goes by birthdate and they will get put into the appropriate year.
We do FI - so far so good! Every school board will be different with entry points into FI.
No fines for holidays no, school is ridiculously lax here.
Subway platform empty at 5pm because everyone still working probably!
Holiday allowance is typically really bad.
Canada is wonderful. The cold is not like our cold, its dry and lets face it, they are much more kitted out for it than we are. Sure it might be scary, but you can always come back if it doesn't work out. Wish my DH had the balls to do it, I'd go in a heartbeat. Go for it.
Of course there are online groceries, but not from every single shop. And yes you should absolutely do French immersion if it's available. Outside of France, it's one of the few places you can do it free of charge! I'm not sure trolleycoin is right about dry cold in Ontario though - I think it's quite humid there - but given that they are used to the weather, they're set up for it and it won't be like a bad winter in the UK.
No fines for holidays during term time. But you also won't find the holiday prices jump up ridiculously the day school ends either.
If you have a flat now I'd ship the whole lot over. You're likely to have a bigger place over there and you'll need the stuff. Canada unfortunately is not cheap.
Hot summer. Cold winter. Great central location, lots of nature close by. Socialised healthcare and free French schooling. We would do it too.
We're in High Park, just west of downtown. Toronto is awesome; a great place to raise a family. It's such a welcoming, multicultural city, and we love it here.
DS will be starting jk in two weeks. At our school you don't have to decide on FI until the sk year. We are undecided at the moment; neither DH or I are French speaking so there'd be no follow through at home, but it seems like such a great opportunity.
We use Grocery Gateway for online shopping - it's run by Longos.
Healthcare is great, and I'm just starting my second mat leave, which allows me to take a year off.
you register for school - JK or junior kindergarten - at the beginning of the year your Dc turn 4. French immersion starts the following year - there are french immersion schools for younger kids but you pay for them.
in order to register you need proof of address that you live in the catchment area.
I moved UK to toronto within a matter of weeks, I just did not think of the bad side of it too much and just went and did it. It does help to have family on your side - without my situation here there is no way I would have been able to do lots of the things I have like business travel.
I left most of my stuff - large sofas etc - but obviously only once I had compared costs of replacing things - if it makes sense financially then take your items. We sold most of our electricals as you can't use them here. It is enormously uplifting when your stuff finally arrives!

What do you guys think?
It looks like you did it yourself. Go here designoutpost.com, spend $100 and have a pro design one.
sorry jaybow i agree with poolboy. remember some times all you get is a first impression.let me know maybe i can give you a hand.
I spent about 350.00 for my logo. Well worth it. I had some hi and lo resolution made as JPG. Plus one in CYK for 4 color printing.
I have to agree with poolbpy as well spend a little money to have a professional logo done it will be well worth it.
I meant poolboy
I improved it a little bit is this acceptable.I like it to be bright and colorful.
There is no doubt your sign is professional looking but it doesnt stand out that well.My trailer is red and I think I need somethin to jump out past the red.
sounds like a good plan. but your logo [perfect green] still needs work. still to pixally clean that up you will be doin fine! offer still stands if you help let me know.
Stone Scapes - you could make some money on the side as a graphic artist - your stuff looks great .

SEAD Television Awards 2015 Global Efficiency Medal Competition – Nominations Outreach
On behalf of the Super-efficient Equipment and Appliance Deployment (SEAD) Initiative, the Collaborative Labeling and Appliance Standards Program (CLASP) is seeking a Contractor to recruit and motivate manufacturers to nominate their products for the SEAD Global Efficiency Medal competition for flat-panel televisions.
It is envisioned that this project will commence in mid-January 2015 to be completed by May 2015. Further details about the project are provided below, along with instructions for proposal submission.
SEAD is a voluntary international government collaboration whose primary objective is to advance global market transformation for energy efficient products. Improvements in appliance and equipment energy efficiency offer enormous opportunity to reduce global energy consumption and carbon emissions, while simultaneously lowering energy costs for consumers, businesses, and institutions. The SEAD Initiative is making it easier for governments and the private sector to capitalize on this opportunity by fostering the sharing of technical information and program design insights and supporting market transformation efforts such as awards, incentives, and procurement. Measures taken by participating governments since the launch of the initiative in 2010 could save over 700 terawatt-hours of electricity per year by 2030, as much electricity as is produced by over 200 mid-sized coal-fired power plants.[1]
As the SEAD Operating Agent, CLASP provides strategic advice to SEAD leaders and coordinates and facilitates programmatic Working Groups, whose activities include procurement, technical analysis, standards and labeling, awards, and incentives.
[1] As of December 2014, SEAD member governments are: Australia, Brazil, Canada, the European Commission, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, Sweden, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States. China is an observer to SEAD.
On January 7, 2015, SEAD will launch its fifth Global Efficiency Medal competition to identify and recognize super-efficient flat-panel televisions. The awards program is a winner-takes-all competition that will advance efficiency improvements in televisions by:
Televisions account for 3%-4% of global residential electricity consumption. In the first SEAD competition for flat-panel televisions, held in 2012, SEAD global award-winning products were 33-44% more efficient than televisions with similar technology.
The competition will recognize the most energy-efficient flat-panel televisions in three size categories across four regions – Australia, Europe, India, and North America – as well as a global emerging technology category.
The nomination period for this competition is 7 January 2015 to 31 March 2015. Winners are expected to be announced in September 2015 and honored at a global awards ceremony in early 2016.
The primary objective of this project is to secure the maximum number of qualified product nominations for this competition by 31 March 2015.
The Contractor will be responsible for developing and implementing a strategy to build relationships with and effectively engage television manufacturers across the globe to secure product nominations for this SEAD Global Efficiency Medal competition. Specific work activities include the following:
Respondents are invited to include in their proposals an additional optional task: After 31 March 2015, the Contractor will prepare a strategy document focusing on how SEAD can engage with retailers, incentive programs, and procurement programs with regards to winning products. Please separate this task in the financial proposal.
It is envisioned that this project will commence in mid-January 2015 to be completed by May 2015. The timeline for the development and implementation of specific deliverables will be coordinated with the selected Contractor for this project.
CLASP seeks assistance from teams of qualified Contractors with a record of accomplishment and expertise in the following areas:
CLASP is interested in the quality of a Contractor's strategic abilities, proven communications expertise, success in engaging and working with consumer electronics manufacturers and industry associations.
A committee appointed by CLASP, consisting of CLASP staff and external advisors, will evaluate the technical and financial proposals received from respondents. The criteria used to determine the winning proposal will include:

Pleeease...What is the cursor, index, and cluster?with an example
I studied computer sience in the university?
In my study we practice some SQL statements with Oracle, and SQL Server
Also, We studied some database concepts like
But, until now I haven't clear opinion about CLUSTERS, INDEXES, and CURSORS in the database?
Please give an overview about them with small examples to clarify
Thank you very much

a LITTLE help
While I await some help of my own, I can tell you this:
You should look at an index as separate file. This file contains some of the values from the table to which the index is associated. The index file is sorted to meet a specific requirement.
Example: You have an Invoices table and an Invoice_Line_Items table. Invoices of course contains information specific to the Invoice itself i.e. Invoice Date, Customer Number, etc.
Invoice Line Items are the items included on the Invoice. You probably already know all that.
Let's say Invoice_Line_Items has 4 fields: The Invoice_Number (to which this set of Invoice_Line_Ites is related, Line_Number (assume that as items are added to an invoice, the new line item is assigned the next Line_Number), and Product_Number (the product being sold) and Quantity_Sold.
Now let's say you need to print or display the Invoice and it's line items. You probably want the Line Items to be printed or displayed in the same order as they were created. You would build an index on Invoice_Number + Line_Number from your Invoice_Line_Items table.
DBMS's use indexes to read thru the data in a table. The programmer would dictate which index to use (the one I defined) when needing to print or display an Invoice and it's related Line Items.
As for Cursors, my definition is a temporary table. Some call this a view or at least use the terms interchangably. It is some subset of the data from one or more tables, pulled together in a temporary table.
In the indexing example above, in order to display or print an invoice you will need some data from the Invoices table and the related data from the Invoice_Line_Items table. I would create a view (I am assuming a view and cursor are the same thing), pulling the data I need from Invoices and the data I need from Invoice_Line_Items into a cursor/view named Invoice_Data.
As for clusters, never heard that term.
Hope this helps,

The following relates to Microsoft SQL Server databases:
An Index orders data for faster sorting and searching. A table may have one CLUSTERED index, and the records in the table are stored in the physical order determined by this index. A table may have one or more non-clustered indexes. These are separate objects that store the indexed values along with pointers to the original data.
A CURSOR is neither a temporary table or a view. It is a method of stepping through a dataset (such as a table or view) and operating on a single record at a time. Because it is not a set-based transaction, it is almost never an efficient method of reading or editing data.
Please note that CLUSTER can also refer to a group of database servers operating together for failover security.If it's not practically useful, then it's practically useless.

So, Disney is including the Avengers and an assorted mix of other Marvel characters in Disney Infinity, and last year, an episode of Phineas and Ferb called "Mission Marvel" contained a crossover where the main characters got to meet several well known Marvel-heroes. It's only a matter of time until the next Disney franchise gets a visit from, or includes, Marvel characters into their midst.
I thought I'd throw in my two cents before that happens. For a franchise to just get a crossover visit like that, it would have to be somewhat flexible already. Either a bit abstract, silly or a result of such crossovers. Kingdom Hearts could fit, although I find that the Disney universe presented there is already dark and scary enough as it is, without adding the powers of Doctor Doom and Galactus into the mix. There'll be plenty of time for [Star Wars: Episode VII](movie:711158) and Marvel to mix it up in Mickey's playground as well, but I doubt it will happen just yet. What I'm really rooting for though, is the inclusion of superheroines in Disney Princess!
Yes. These.
Disney Princess is already a crossover franchise, as several different characters from different locations, times and even art styles mix it up. Their only common denominator seems to be a claim to one throne or another, and not always a royal one at that (Pocahontas, I'm looking at you). So I took a dive into the Marvel Archives and picked up a few candidates.
Ororo Munroe, Princess of a Kenyan tribe, and one time Queen of Wakanda.
You probably saw this one coming. Storm is about as famous for her royal manner as she is for her ability to make snowstorms in summer. Her royal mother married a simple American, and gave birth to Ororo. They died while she was still young, and she grew up in the streets of Kairo, living as a thief until her powers manifested and she became the "goddess" who brought rain to a thirsty population. She got recruited by the X-men, and lived as an adventurer until accepting a proposal from T'Challa, the Black Panther and King of Wakanda.
Silver Sablinova, of Symkaria.
True title unknown, but she's central in diplomatic relations with neighbouring countries like Latveria, and her mercenary group "Wildpack", is Symkarias main source of income. As far as I'm concerned, Silver Sable qualifies big time.
Susan Storm, ambassador of Uhari, and legal guardian to the heirs to the Uhari throne, Wu and Vil
Yes, the Invisible Woman should be a Disney princess. Apart from representing Uhari, a race of merpeople sometimes referred to as "true Atlanteans", she's also constantly on the receiving end of Prince Namors advances, despite her marrige to Mr. Fantastic.
Crystalia Amaquelin, the Peoples Princess, of the Inhuman royal family.
While she's technically not a princess (she's the sister of Queen Medusa, and sister in law to King Black Bolt), Crystal still holds an important place in the hearts of both the Inhuman and the Kree race. She's currently in a political marrige with Ronan the Accuser in a bid to unite the Kree and the Inhumans in a common effort.
Wanda Maximoff, Princess of Genosha
The Scarlet Witch was unstable, went mad, and altered the very fabric of the world to suit her whims, leaving her father Magneto in charge of the island Genosha, once the ruins of a great mutant city, now a powerful country in a world where mutants were respected, and baseline humans were not. With the collective help of Wolverine, Emma Frost and the child Layla Miller, a group of heroes (and a few villains) banded together to reverse the change. But for a little while, Wanda was a princess in the House of M.
Narya of Canada
Now, Canada doesn't have a royal family. They use the British one instead. Still, Snowbird would be the closest Canada comes to a true princess, being the daughter of man and goddess. Narya is a protector of Canada, able to take the form of any beast naturally occurring in the Canadian wilderness.

Video: Focal FPS amplifiers
Top of the line for audiophiles
I've been a camera nut all my life, so it makes sense I'd end up being a video producer. Of course, it has been a roundabout journey for me, as I started at Crutchfield in 2007 writing about car audio gear. Over the years I've learned about all the electronic items we sell, and it is my job to make sure we are making videos that you will find useful, whether you're shopping for something specific or trying to install some new gear yourself. My job is a lot of fun because I get to play around with all the cool stuff you see on our website while I'm making videos about it. Getting hands-on with the gear helps me see what I should show you about a product, though the flip side is my personal wish list is a mile long...
More from Zak Billmeier
For the best amplified sound in your car, turn to Focal. This brief video introduces the FPS series of Focal amplifiers.
Video Transcript
Focal stopped by today to demonstrate their incredible line of car audio products, and if you're like me and you really like to listen to your music, I mean really listen to it, this is the kind of stuff you want. They played a track with a stand up bass player and I'm a bass player myself and we're used to getting kind of lost in the mix there, but this stand up bass I could hear every fret buzz. I could hear every time a finger tapped on the fretboard. It was just amazing.
Now one of the things Focal came to show us today was these new FPS amplifiers. These are their new amps and they won an innovation award at the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2010 trade show. They're designed by audiophiles to reproduce the most natural and beautiful sounding music, and I can tell you it blew away a room full of audiophiles today at the training session that's no small feat here at Crutchfield.
Now, they're a dual mono block design and built with no short cuts just serious build quality here. External capacitors you can see here on the side allow the amp to have maximum head room and just run at peak efficiency all the time.
If you're like me, and you really appreciate music, really want to listen deep to it and hear all those nuances, all the dynamics, and just hear music how it was originally performed you need to get to know Focal. They're a company truly obsessed with doing the same. If you want to learn more about Focal, go online and check it out or give one of our advisors a call.

WEIMA Dealer Event a TREMENDOUS Success!
The 2013 WEIMA Dealer Event was a tremendous success! With close to 50 dealers/representatives from North America in attendance, the sales and marketing team had a large group to focus on. The dealers arrived on Wednesday evening and were treated to a nice dinner. Thursday came early as a chartered bus took everyone to six (6) local WEIMA customers to view WEIMA Shredders, Grinders and Briquette Presses in action.
The first stop was at a local building supply store. This WEIMA customer uses their WLK10 Grinder to grind all of their wood waste, pallet waste and crate waste generated on the production floor. They utilize a pneumatic discharge with an inline magnet to remove the nails prior to blowing the material in a trailer. They have a local customer for their ground wood waste.
The second stop was a large local printing facility. This WEIMA customer uses their WLK10 Shredder to shred all of their paper scrap generated from the production of printed goods. The shredded paper is pneumatically conveyed to a baler. This customer was able to source their WEIMA equipment via an equipment broker who bought the system for them to guarantee the supply of paper.
The third stop was a truss manufacturing plany. This WEIMA customer uses their WLK6S Grinder to grind all of their end cuts from their trim saw. They also utilize a pneumatic discharge with an inline magnet to remove any potential metal contamination prior to blowing the material in a trailer. They also have a local customer for their ground wood waste.
The fourth stop was a toilet paper manufacturer. This was arguably the highlight of the trip. This WEIMA customer uses their WLK13 Shredder to shred all of their paper scrap generated from the converting process. The shredded paper is pneumatically conveyed to a baler. This customer also has a WEIMA TH714 Briquette Press to handle the large volume of dust generated on the converting floor. In addition to the reclaim line, the customer has its own in-house paper making line. This line runs at speeds in excess of 50 mph. Everyone was amazed by the size and speed of the equipment.
The fifth stop was a general plastics recycler. This WEIMA customer uses their WLK15 Shredder to process all types of plastic scrap. During our visit, the customer was handling old HDPE trash bins. The shredded HDPE was conveyed to an existing Granulator and then pneumatically conveyed to a gaylord. The recycler also operates a wash line, a film densifier and a repelletizing line.
Our sixth and final stop was a film manufacturer. This WEIMA customer uses his WLK15 Shredder to breakdown rolls of stretch film prior to repelletizing in a Davis-Standard Extruder. The rolls are split on a guillotine to remove the cardboard core and are then fed by conveyor into the WLK15 Shredder. A conveyor feeds the shredded LDPE to a surge hopper above the Extruder.
Needless to say, everyone was pretty tired after a long day of tours. As a treat to all, we took everyone to the Olde Mecklenburg Brewery for some GREAT German food and beer!
On Friday, the dealers took a tour of the WEIMA facility and witnessed four (4) equipment trials using the Horizontal Beaver 300, a ZMK40, a TH714 and a TH1500M. Upon completion of the trials, Mr. Martin Friz, one of WEIMA's partners, gave a presentation on the past, present and future of WEIMA. Everyone had a nice lunch and then most went to the local golf club for a fun afternoon.
The WEIMA Dealer Event was a tremendous success!

Two lovely results Mrs A - I'm sure they sparkle IRL - in fact it does show when you click on the photos! Super backgrounds and what an elegant reindeer. My guess is that the pearlised navy card might be what we bought once when out together? It is rather swish :)ReplyDelete
Hugs, Di xx

Hi Gurus,
I have one issue with standard workflow. In this workflow one function is there. The function sending notification to approver. In function properties, in node tab, Timeout they gave 7 days. I have changed that into 3 minutes. In WF_ITEM_ACTIVITY_STATUSES table , Activity status is 'NOTIFIED'. due date also after 3 minutes of Begin date. But the notification is not coming after 3 minutes. I ran Workflow Background process concurrent also.
Please let me know what could be the reason.
Thanks in advance.
Is timeout property set for function or notification.
Activity status NOTIFIED is for notification so timeout should also be given for notification activity then only it will process timeout logic.
Also if possible us your sample workflow process here and explain in brief.
Sandeep M.

Property Info
The Scotts Tower
Far East Success Development
103 years leasehold
38 Scotts Road, Singapore 228240
To be advised
Stunning SOHO development with Sky Lobby and Sky Terrace equipped with modern facilities
Property Description
The Scotts Tower a mark habitation in the Orchard region. Buzz with vitality. Start up your faculties. Relax. Live without limitations. Be at the focal point of everything. Each SOHO is a hive of vast imaginative vitality. Differing foundations. Diverse motivations. There is a SOHO for each way of life. A place where people can make and re-imagine. Ardent urbanites will discover the SOHO they had always wanted in Singapore's most looked for after regions.
Live associated. SOHO is an entryway to the creative ability. A statement of how one lives. The vitality of a billion approaches to cooperate with the encompassing scene. The shops and meeting place beneath. The recreational offices. The remote hubs and convergences that associate.
Another point of view. Each SOHO is intended to give add up to flexibility. A clear canvas. An opportunity to investigate. play with it. Shape it. Give it a character-yours. Expand living spaces vertically and in addition on a level plane. SOHO is urban living from a one of a kind perspective. A definitive disclosure of measurement and space that makes utilitarian, and living sense.
The outline deliberately moves inside an exceedingly directed building environment to boost the maximum capacity of the site. By reevaluating the setup of the building center, the Scotts Tower frees the potential course of action of flat units, giving individual private access to every loft. The outline reinterprets neighborhood directions, and empowers the height of involved building territory, presenting section free adaptable "white arrangement" designs, and expands the green region on a restricted conservative site. The lifted loft towers lessen the building's impression to a base, freeing the ground level for broad collective recreation exercises installed in a tropical scene.

Evolutionary computational approach in TAR model estimation
The well-known SETAR model introduced by Tong belongs to the wide class of TAR models that may be specified in several different ways. Here we propose to consider the delay parameter as endogenous, that is we make it to depend on both the past value and the specific past regime of the series. In particular we consider a system that switches between two regimes, each of which is a linear autoregressive of order p, with respect of the value assumed by a delayed self--variable compared with an asymmetric threshold; the peculiarity is that the switching rule also depends on the regime in which the system lies at time t-d. In this work we consider two identification procedures: the first one follows the classical estimation for SETAR models, the second one proposes to estimate this model using the Particle Swarm Optimization technique.

Morning AB, all....
....going to Disney World next weekend with daughter's family. Any hints appreciated.
As always, thank you AB for doing this thread.
It's Syria this week, Syria killing young children with nerve gas. and where is the Communist Samantha Power when an emergency UN session is called?
Martha Vineyard's called, dying children be damned.
Well, Ms Fishtalk, today's Sunday Morning Media Meme is the Civil Rights struggle, Republican Racism, and the anointed successor to Doctor King, John Lewis, and his struggle to overcome those RACIST white folk, and the TEA party Klansmen.
Praise Trayvon!
Praise Obama!
1. Get there for the opening
2. Take the Train to the back of the Park
3. Work forward to the front of the Park
Try to avoid long lines. (that ain't gonna happen)
Given the temps lately, and the humidity, try to take in as many indoor attractions as possible. But, most of all, have fun and be a child again. (Disney will do that to you)
And, last, but not least, when you go into "It's A Small World" you'll come out singing that song the rest of the day!
1) Wear very comfortable shoes.
2) take some water
3) Don't carry a purse..carry a small backpack.
4) wear and take sunscreen
and most important....to get past a long line...tell your daughter to say she's pregnant. (ha)

EN on Foods
November 2008 Issue
Savor the Flavor, Nutrition of Roasted Chestnuts
The Folklore. Ancient Greeks and Romans believed that chestnuts protected against poisons, dog bites and dysentery. And history suggests some European peasants relied almost solely upon chestnuts for food during much of the year. Likewise, chestnuts were part of daily life in early America, as a food source for people and livestock, with the tree providing much-needed wood. But in the early 1900s, chestnut blight led to the near-extinction of the American chestnut tree.

If you have a house that is made out of stucco and want to refresh the look of it then stucco paint is something that you might want to look into. Basically the paint is specially formulated to stick to the cement and give it a fresh, new look.
There are some tips and tricks that you could implement to make the job easier and make it look like a professional did it. Lets dive right into it to see what methods there are out there and what to expect from each one.
When using a sprayer, certain techniques and tricks can be used to achieve professional results, not to mention, it can cut the time the project takes in half! This is the best way to paint a stucco surface and will yield the best results.
Some of you may choose to use a roller to paint the stucco on your home, which is just fine, but requires a few different techniques than a sprayer would. It will take a bit longer to do it this way, but can still give professional looking results if done correctly.
That's about it when it comes to stucco paint and how to apply it for a fresh, new look. Take your time and remember to really prepare the surface for the paint, this will be the determining factor for how good the project looks in the end.
My name is Ryan and I have been in the construction trades for many years now and I feel that there is a huge "knowledge gap" when it comes to particular trades.... like stucco. I made this site to inform others about the simplicity of the art and that many people can do stucco themselves, if they put their minds to it. I hope you find the information here useful and please don't hesitate to contact me by leaving a comment. Thanks for stopping by!

Mark Dion exhibit in Switzerland
Mark Dion applies his love of natural history to his art using taxonomy as a means of expression. This exhibition—curated by Françoise Cohen—organizes 120 of Dion's works from the past fifteen years—including installations, drawings, and videos—into the five categories instituted by natural-history museums in the nineteenth century: earth science, entomology, archaeology, ornithology, and mammology.

Loves to play peek-a-boo in his crib!
hanging with auntie Meygan....
7 months....7 months! I can't believe it! My son is 7 months! So here is what's up with Liam...he totally sits up by and is perfectly steady....he is fully fledged into eating solids...aka...baby food. I found out that he loves sweet potatoe, carrots, applesauce, and squash, and green beans....he really doesn't like bananas or peas. He is still teething...no teeth have popped out yet...he really likes to chomp on those teether biscuits from Gerber....and hmmm he is now in size 3 diapers..whoah what a big boy. Oh yeah he is not crawling yet....although it seems liek he wants to but is not sure how to get his little knees up. Cesar and I think that he will probably skip the crawling and go straight to walking...hopefully...I dunno. As far as little accidents go...well he has bumped his head twice on the hardwood floors...but was ok after...it was totally self inflicted...he rolled over off his carpet in his room and landed on the floor. Luckily there was no bump or bruise. And he has kind of had food go down the wrong tube like twice...totally gave mom a scare...but he was a champ and carried on. Yuo my little boy is getting older, cuter and so much funnier. I hate to say it becasue it is so cliche...but its true you can not love anything more than your own kid. I love you Liam!

We are scheduled to take an Intrav lower Danube cruise this summer on the Amadeus Princess. This was travel agent recommended - anyone have experience with either?
Welcome to Cruise Critic! If you'd like to participate on our forums by joining in the conversation, please Register Now! Be sure to visit our FAMOUS Roll Call forums, where you can meet other cruisers sailing with you and share a tour or shore excursion and SAVE MONEY!
Intrav is a reseller.Pardon sir/madam but it is not possible to book an INTRAV TOUR directly with the boat operator...INTRAV charters the ENTIRE vessel and determines menus,wines ect. as well as providing the tour manager, busses and as many guides as is necessary...INTRAV is very much an up-scale operator....I speak from a great deal of personal experience with Tour companies and cruise lines.
You can book directly with Amadeus Waterways.
regarding Intrav. It will be our first & we'll be there very soon. Good to see you're from San Juans, our own little slice of NW paradise - we're just down the road (?) in Redmond. You've been with Intrav? Our first & we're hoping for the best since our TA thinks highly of it...I hope you enjoyed your cruise. What can you tell me about the ship?...Who was your INTRAV tour director?..My email [email protected]

Fantastic watch, sleek, stylish and a brilliant colour combination looks like brushed steel with a stunning light blue colour face. Sits flat on my wrist and the strap is easily adjusted. I have a really small wrist and it fits and looks perfect. No fussy unnecessary detail, simple and sophisticated.

Bought this for a birthday gift for my wife, she did not want the big face, so this is just perfect, thin and very stylish.\r\nWatch company delivered very quickly , this is my second purchase from them in the last couple of weeks.
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
The Watch shop delivers an excellent service. Top quality watches at affordable prices and very fast delivery.
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
This is just a cool looking watch and we chose it because it was smaller than many modern watches for women.
The watch strap is infinitely and so easily adjustable, although putting it on takes a bit of fiddling. HINT: practice doing up the clasp without putting the watch on your wrist and it soon becomes very easy.
Rating: Very good (4 / 5)
Excellent watch, great fit and good service

Delighted with quality of my watch, also delivery was on time.
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
Beautiful and classic watch. Face is smaller than the picture shows . I have 2 Skagen watches and the quality is excellent. Cant go wrong with this watch.
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
The photos online of this watch dont do it justice. Its gorgeous!
Im not a fan of small watch faces and fuss such as crystals etc and to get a decent sized plain one I normally end up going for a mans watch.
This is a decent size, had clean, elegant lines and no fuss. Perfect for me.
One slight niggle is that I have a bit of a palaver doing it up. I never seem to get it to click locked on my first attempt each day when I put it on but Im sure practice will make perfect!
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
Well, I couldnt have chosen a better gift for Christmas. After much deliberation I plumped for the Skagen Anita. Unbeknown to me my wife had only been looking at
them a few days before, so my choice was spot on. Phew.
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
very professional and efficient service, would recommend without hesitation.
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
I ordered a Skagen watch for my wife on the 15th December at 15:30 and received it the following morning. Major competitors were either out of stock or advertising the same item at a considerably higher price. The watch arrived beautifully gift-wrapped and with my personal message. The parcel went from the front door to under the Christmas tree without all the usual searching for wrapping paper and the elusive sticky tape. The watch was a big hit on Christmas Day and its strap was already adjusted to fit my wifes slim and appreciative wrist. This was a shopping experience that will be difficult to match. Well done Watch Shop!
Other independent review sources for this product
The Skagen watch collection takes inspiration from the clean lines and focused aesthetic that's characteristic of its Danish roots, resulting in a range of timeless timepieces that are both minimalistic and innovative.

As a contemporary lifestyle brand, Skagen brings together quality materials and design with a true sense of purpose. These ladies' and men's watches have a refined style that never goes out of fashion, from subtle daywear to clean, graceful occasion pieces. The principles of great craftsmanship combine in Skagen watches with contemporary Danish design concepts for a conservative, streamlined and functional range of practical yet elegant accessories.

SHE flies through the air with the greatest of ease… then goes and takes down details from suspects at police stations.
Solicitor Lucy Morgan ran away to the circus at the age of 25. Three years on, she is about to start her second term in trapeze at one of the world's most prestigious circus schools.
And in between terms at Canada's L'Ecole National de Cirque, she goes back to her first profession, working as a freelance legal aid lawyer in London.
Morgan, whose father Leon is a partner at West End media firm Davenport Lyons, is the only English pupil attending the school and one of only about 12 trapeze artists involved in "new" circuses in the world.
And her boyfriend, her catcher at the London circus school – Circus Space – where she trains out of term, is a trainee barrister.
She did her articles at Lewis Silkin in London and moved to its Peckham office, now Glazer Delmar. She still acts for Glazers, mainly in immigration and police station work.
The switch was easy to make. "It's not that I don't like the law. Because I enjoyed the work. But I have found my passion and that's rare in life," she says.
And she recommends the change to others. "What I want to say to lawyers is you have to live your dream and live your life."
Circus Space recently moved to a refurbished electricity generating station with pro bono legal help from City firm Slaughter and May.
