Lakeview Terrace
Director : Neil LaBute
Screenplay : David Loughery and Howard Korder (story by David Loughery)
MPAA Rating : PG-13
Year of Release : 2008
Stars : Samuel L. Jackson (Abel Turner), Patrick Wilson (Chris Mattson), Kerry Washington (Lisa Mattson), Ron Glass (Harold Perreau), Justin Chambers (Donnie Eaton), Jay Hernandez (Javier Villareal), Regine Nehy (Celia Turner), Jaishon Fisher (Marcus Turner), Robert Pine (Captain Wentworth), Keith Loneker (Clarence Darlington)
There is an intriguing, racially charged psychodrama buried in Lakeview Terrace, one that is frustratingly difficult to unearth from beneath its many hardened layers of rote villainy and thriller plot mechanics. The story takes place in an established upscale neighborhood in the scenic hills above Los Angeles (not incidentally, the same one where Rodney King was beaten by police officers in 1991), which becomes the new home of Chris and Lisa Mattson (Patrick Wilson and Kerry Washington), an attractive and respectable young married couple. He's a grocery-store-chain executive with a Berkley degree and a self-consciously liberal agenda and she's an artist who works from home, but pines for the day that they start a family. All would be well except for the race factor: Chris is white and Lisa is black, which doesn't sit well with their next-door neighbor, a veteran police officer named Abel Turner (Samuel L. Jackson).
Because he is played by Jackson, Abel is the clear centerpiece of the movie, a hyperrealized vat of contradictions who is as infuriating as he in intriguing. In essence, Abel is a striking character and a sharp reminder that prejudice cuts not just both ways, but all ways, and is usually rooted in a deep-seated sense of how things "ought to be," rather than how they are (the very fact that film deals with such touchy issues is really quite extraordinary, given how Hollywood usually avoids racial issues like the plague). Deeply conservative and stoically regimented, Jackson's widower runs his home like a military operation, keeping his 15-year-old daughter (Regine Nehy) and 11-year-old son (Jaishon Fisher) under tight supervision and constantly eradicating any elements of urban black culture of which he does not approve (primarily, non-standard English and wearing jerseys representing the "wrong" basketball players) while still holding fast to the notion that blacks and whites should be separate.
Thus, Abel is immediately suspicious of Chris and Lisa because of their mixed marriage, and his unease is inflamed by a series of small incidents, such as Chris unthinkingly flicking a cigarette butt into his bushes and he and Lisa having a steamy in-the-pool interlude that, unbeknownst to them, is in full few of Abel's children. Because he is a police officer, Abel immediately cuts an imposing and intimidating figure, and he constantly reduces Chris to sputtering and stumbling with a simple turn of phrase or unbroken stare. The film's best moments, which drip with the kind of interpersonal friction that are the hallmarks of director Neil LaBute's best works (In the Company of Men, The Shape of Things), take place in the early stages when Abel passive-aggressively drops hints and clues about his dislike of Chris and Lisa's union and his desire for them to leave the neighborhood. He never comes out and says it directly, but the venom in his words is unmistakable.
And, had the film remained in this terrain, it might have developed into a seething portrait of both neighborly friction and racial tension. Instead, the screenplay by David Loughery and Howard Korder keeps nudging the material into rote thriller territory, with Abel slowly but surely losing any shades of gray and becoming a one-dimensional monster who must naturally be destroyed. In short, it eventually asks us to detest Abel, rather than understand him, and it is at that point that the film falls apart.
Unfortunately, LaBute seems to go along with this, even after his more nuanced opening scenes that gave Abel's extreme tendencies a solid psychological and social foundation (as a child of the ghetto who clawed his way out, he is both bitter toward whites who have their fortunate lives handed to them and angry at blacks who continue to wallow in victimhood). Instead, the films takes on a bland sense of efficiency, which all but steamrolls the intriguing interpersonal dynamic that could have sent people out of the theater talking (the more subtle and interesting elements of Abel's prejudice take a back seat to a "big revelation" two-thirds of the way through the film that more directly, but less interestingly, explains his revulsion toward Chris and Lisa).
The mounting sense of violence primed to explode is externalized via an encroaching wildfire that is first hinted at via news broadcasts, but soon looms over the neighborhood as an ominous cloud and then arrives just in time for the show-down climax to bathe the proceedings in a hellish yellow-red glow. The overt visual symbolism works in its own right and adds to the tension, but by the time the fire arrives the story has dug so deeply into its own rut of predictability that, like the rest of the film, it seems more hackneyed than inspired. It is worth noting that the film ends on the image of a hillside aflame, suggesting that, despite the ideological simplicity of the audience-pleasing conclusion, the spark that set everything in motion is still alive and well, a small, potentially disruptive caveat to the film's otherwise simplifying nature.

Thread: The Russians are coming
Mayorova on the outcome of the Olympic cycle and plans for team
20.08.2012 13:11
In Kratovo on the basis of the Russian national team badminton complete collection of junior teams and 17 to 19 years. TCB he spends coaching staff that led the preparation of the core team for the Olympic Games in London. On the results of previous Olympic cycle and plans for a new period of said head coach of Russia Claudia Majorova:
All preparations for the Olympic Games was planned and carried out his plan for us. Athletes were ready for the tournament is optimal, and showed that they play in the group stage, where the opponent was very serious, but nevertheless, a number of victories we have won. It should be noted that all members of our team, these Olympic Games were the first - no one had a similar experience. And the Olympic tournament is not a European Championship or even the World Cup - there is much more stressful. Against this background, I believe there has been considerable success because despite all the stress of our athletes have shown the level at which they were ready. We have seen the examples of other sports that many athletes failed the start, but to us it did not happen - the team has played at the highest level that has been achieved to date.
Very good game showed our singles Anastasia Prokopenko against the Polish girl Kamila Augustine and Danish Tina Bown. Start with the fact that Camila Nastia never won, and won here. Yes, and Bown - one of the strongest of the world - before the match was not expected that there will be a battle in which Prokopenko lost just a little! In this match Nastia never deviated from the plan worked out for the game. Sometimes it happens that badminton tired, did not start playing as it should, but how convenient that is generally comfortable and the opponent. But then it was not - the plan passed to and fro. She herself had not lost a single shuttle, second only when the enemy created a really complicated situation, laying out at full power.
Vladimir Ivanov also had to draw the heavy competition. He met with the player from Taipei, who last met in India has lost. It should be noted that thanks to this victory taypeets and got to the Olympics, so that after the Indian match, he rushed to Volodya, hugged him and almost kissed. But for Volodya was a defeat that left a mark. However, at the Olympic Games themselves, he was able to overcome it and confidently beat his opponent. Ivanov, in connection with its growth, must always play a specific game. If he plays it, then it will be difficult to anyone! And in this match he played his game 100%. Unfortunately, the match with the Korean he could not stand it inside and out - he sometimes succumbed to the game opponents. It is a pity, by the way, that was the first Korean game, when Ivanov has not yet entered the tournament. The original schedule, which was later changed, was different. And if it survived, I think, and the match turned out to be different.
As for the game Volodya Ivanov in doubles together with Vanya Sozonova - here we have the predictable problems in advance. The game is a couple is too clear for rival figure - Ivanov has more on the back of the line, Sozonov - at the net. Already all the contestants know it, and pulled out a network of Ivanova. Nevertheless, our players are also prepared for the opponents! On one of the strongest couples of the world - Bo and Mogensonom from Denmark, they met at the European Championships. And there already knew how to play with them, were physically and psychologically ready to perform this miracle! Lacked a little bit, one or two points - most likely because of the lack of extensive experience playing in tournaments of the highest rank, who have full Danes. Somewhere lacked concentration - played into the net, somewhere did not take a pause to this high concentration of repair - hurry, and so on. That is a little bit, because these details have missed the victory! The game with the Chinese - the second pair of our competitors - basically say the same thing. Although the Chinese have always shown a different badminton - not the tactics, and the rate on the concentration and here too, of course lack of experience, ability to distribute the internal forces on such a match is not allowed to win, but played very well, too!
Our mixed Alexander Nikolaenko / Valeria Sorokina started very well! They beat the British, who a year ago at this same stage became vice-champion of the world! A pair of very strong, but after such a defeat, it was unable to recover psychologically and lost to the Germans. In our meeting with the same German couple has decided to clean all of psychology. In the end the third installment of our players to forget about all the tactics and played just to throw the shuttle to the other side. Of course, it's the nerves.
As for the women's pair Nina Vislova / Valeria Sorokina - they basically played his strength is no better and no worse than we thought. Strong rivals, especially the Chinese, offering a pair of our strength, exhausting pattern of play that endure to the end of the girls could not. In the same game with a lower class of rivals than they are - from South Africa and Canada, mobilize athletes and played very confidently, clearly and well.
So, as I said, the whole team performed well, showing nearly the maximum that they can now show.
Of course, this result, we walked in small steps. First, create the conditions for the exercise - as much as possible the opportunity to work on the collection, based on the team. As a result, succeeded in laying a solid foundation of training. Yes, it is not yet such that the medals at the Olympics would have been the result of natural, not "happy", but it is very decent. Hence it came to the podium first major international tournaments - especially Super Series. The result of this great work carried out was the fact that all the athletes passed the annual Olympic qualification - this is a very important point! They do not "spread out" before, have not received serious injuries, they have the strength to get through and break into the games in all five categories. And not just passed, and were able to efficiently recover and prepare for the tournament itself. I think - this is the result of our serious professional.
Now we have entered a new stage. We need to accumulate a new quality. This is especially true of the training process. To go forward, athletes should be approached to work more professionally. All terms and conditions for this are currently set up - there is a base, the right specialists. Of course, we will think about improving the training process in terms of the separation of training pairs and singles, as it is quite different approaches to things. In a single game needed a large amount may be somewhat emotionally monotonous, but solid work. In pairs - it's emotional outbursts, explosion, instantaneous concentration. In principle, a single skater and greenhouses - they are different people, and the process of working with them must also be a little different. In this way we can achieve a new quality.
Of course, one must work with the youth of a new, professional level. Young players should also get used to long hours of work at the training camp. It is desirable that it was a steady base on which the process is year-round, and in principle to this we now come to our activities. It is very important to work to restore the athletes, the same young people, because now we have coaches who will give them serious load, after which they must be able to restore the quality.
A serious and professional attitude should be the players to work on the basis of the team. The athlete must arrive at the base of very high quality home prepared to withstand what he will be here suggested, it is very serious, concentrated work on the collection - no distractions. Only those who understand that badminton - his profession, the main business of life, can succeed here. Neither the study nor the personal affairs of any other circumstances should not distract the athlete from his main work - otherwise the result will not be.
Now we are on the basis of collection of junior teams and 17 to 19 years. This collection was planned before the Olympics and actually opens up a new Olympic cycle. There are two age groups, they have slightly different objectives. The eldest is preparing for an international youth tournament in Ramenskoye and its main launch - the primacy of Russia, who was coming. The youngest - also partly prepared for the international tournament, but most importantly - met with the work of the team. We need to show them - what team that there would be requested to show a new, modern equipment, to explain what they need to be prepared.
It is pleasant to note that all young athletes who are now in the collection, a very high motivation. They want very trying, which is certainly nice, and manage performance of work. Of course, we will try to keep it. This enthusiasm, competition, will be transferred to the adult team, and then the youth will receive the accumulated experience. I think that for about two years of intensive, professional work of our best athletes 94-95 years of birth would be a force to reach the level of our current first team. These opportunities will be available to them, as well as the necessary attention from the coaches. Of course, our first part will be involved in this process - those who are motivated to improve further, ready to go forward. The participation of our Olympians in working with young people is important. Not only in training, even just in conversation, dialogue, they convey the energy that got in the game. The success of the games are very elated our young people, and they asked many questions about the Olympics coaches. This is - a very good background for their development, I hope it will spur a new generation to great accomplishments.

The Russians are coming, the signs are there. With President Putin and Premier Medvedev setting the example by taking up recreational badminton, how not to?
The schools program is set to begin in September so at least the talent pool should increase but first and foremost it is still viewed as an activity with social benefits not 5 potential gold medals at the Olympics
Only the Russian can dethrone the chinese
Tautologically speaking, anybody or nation can be dethroned , it's a matter of when and how.
Don't think Denmark can dethrone china, too low population
DEN's outstanding achievement is disproportionate to her small population, all the more amazing;not impossible at all for her to become a badminton superpower rivalling CHN one day. You just need to have enough people taking up the sport seriously, not necessarily in proportion to population size. With this,other factors are even more important viz. resources(mainly funding),quality coaches,level of competition,advance sports science,etc.
As far as all these are concerned, I believe there are at least 5 to 10 countries with the potential and ability to do it, what they lack which I believe tilts the balance in CHN's favour for supremacy are, if I may say so, Tang Xianhu, Lin Dan and Li Yongbo, like it or not.Last edited by Justin L; 08-21-2012 at 12:17 PM.
Here is the new instructional video for the schools program :
Wow! the game's come a long way...
Where is Anastasia Prokopenko? Is she injured? She was not in Danish Open qualies and also not in French Open.
Just letting you know the trials for my new team entry in the WBA league are in full effect :

Wow! The Russians have a different practice drill but they are surely having fun. Maybe they train outside to handle the drift better. I think I spotted Bibik and Vislova in the video. But where is Prokopenko?
didn't spot vislova in the vid...where? russian girls...mama mia
No time to have a siesta
Interesting background info on the Russian coach in this interview with Badminton Europe. Think I've read most of her personal history before but not on the move and details of the early work in Poland . Shameless full copy for future preservation :
Date: 12/2/2012 9:35:10 AM
With the Olympic bronze medal for Valeria Sorokina and Nina Vislova in London, Russian badminton achieved its biggest success ever. The woman behind that success is Klaudia Mayorova. We spoke to the Russian coach in our "Women in badminton" series about the London Olympics, victories, barriers and she reveals to us who she finds inspiring.
What the Olympic Bronze medal from Valeria Sorkina/Nina Vislova means to badminton in Russia?
To win an Olympic bronze medal is nothing impressive in Russia as Olympic medals are won quite often and one medal more is to be honest … not a big deal. But to the badminton in Russia it means a lot. I could compare the experience I recently had to a long expected rainfall on the Savannah... When it finally happens, everything starts to bloom. This is what happened to badminton in Russia right now. You could humorously comment it that now we have "four years of peace" because we have financial support from our Ministry of Sport for the national team. However there is no time for a siesta and we need to work really hard. We all realize that during the Olympics we had a lot of good fortune but it favors those who are better and who work hard.
Can you describe how you experienced the London Olympic Games? It must have been an amazing feeling for you as well.
The Olympics in London were the second "Games" for me as a coach. The first one was in Peking with the Polish team. It was extremely difficult to deal with emotions, the euphoria that is present during a sport events like this and with those restrictions imposed by Chinese during Olympics. I for my part used all the knowledge and experience from that time while preparing the Russian squad. Unfortunately there were plenty of unpleasant surprises. In first place those were connected with the organization - but I am talking about the Russian Olympic Committe. We've been to the World Championships in London one year before and thanks to that, we knew how the organisation part should look like and could avoid these sort of problems.
We couldn't feel the celebration of sport as we didn't stay at the Olympic Village and after the Olympics we were immediately sent back home. But the atmosphere in the stadium and on the streets was wonderful. Because of the four pairs being disqualified, I had extreme emotions about that. On one sidet was exciting that a chance to win the medal became quite real. But on the other side I was aware of the fact that as a coach, I didn't want to get the medal this way. It was extremely annoying for me. Then I resolved we are to do our job... and then everything suddenly appeared in bright colours. Everyone was exceptionally happy and it was worth to give people so much joy.
How much effort have you put into that medal?
I'm certain that the women's doubles category is one of the most challenging one. Because defense in the women's game is very good, they even defend men's attacks in mixed doubles - but the strength of women's attack is lower in comparison with the defense. That is why the game often changes into an hour and a half marathon which is not very entertaining to the audience. For me as a coach it is very interesting to observe how the girls make it out to score the point. And to this kind of effort, girls should be trained. For the last three years, we increased the training capacity by 200% and we still need much more in order to keep up with Chinese. Last year we focused on qualifications to the Olympics. There were injuries interrupting the training but the aim was accomplished with full determination.
During the Olympics we "put all the eggs into one basket", leaving all private matters aside. It was very difficult for my girls. But after the vacation and after the Olympics they said it was worth. Their financial status has been raised as well as their popularity which makes a big difference in Russia.
You are a long-time professional badminton coach, but have you been playing badminton yourself?
I've been involved in sports since my childhood; first it was swimming then figure skating. After having a serious knee injury, I left ice skating and during my school time, when I was 14, I started to play badminton. I lived then in Norilsk where winters last very long and are extremely cold: - 72 degrees and people spend their time in sports halls. After half a year of training I was the best one in the city and I went to my first competition in Krasnojarska and being there I knew that this is how my life is going to be. Soon bigger success came as I was a junior player which resulted in inviting me into the best Russian club of that time in located in Nizni Nowgorod. That was the beginning of my career as a professional during this period. I lived at my coach's house and I was training twice a day.
What have been your achievements as a player?
I became National Champion of the Soviet Union in U19 in all categories: singles, doubles and mixed doubles and still I hadn't been taken to the European Junior Championship. This is how it was then. It was not your level that decided but those who were in power. Yet I continued to practise. Later I won the National Championships of Russia, I was the medalist of the USSR Championships, the Champion of Spartakiad of the Nations of USSR. I took part in abroad competitions twice. First time it was in Prague in the Czech Republic where I lost the first round to the Dane Mogensen. Then in Pressbaum in Austria I lost with my partner Irina Serova in th finals of the women's doubles to the famous pair Knap [van der Knaap?] and Kloud [Kloet?] from the Netherlands. And in 1991, I was invited by Piast Club in Slupsk and I moved to Poland where I was also a player but focused more on working as a coach.
What have been your biggest barriers and victories until now as a coach?
The most difficult task was to win the first medal for Poland. I was working in Słupsk in Chromik Sport School No. 16. The head master understood my determination and the need to work hard in order to win the medal on European Junior Championships level. That is why he allowed us to train in the sport hall whenever it was necessary. I was giving training during that time to about 140 players of different levels and different ages, from 7 to 18 years old. I was spending all my time there between 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Fortunately I lived in the school building and the sports hall was about 100 meters away. After three years of very hard work, Kamila Augustyn and Piotr Żołądek became the National Champions of Poland and after five years of my work there were 10 players I trained that were invited to Polish National Team and Kamila Augustyn and Przemek Wacha gained the titles of the National Champions in Poland in seniors being only 17 and 18 years old. Then I was offered to work as a coach of Polish National Team for juniors.
I insisted on further work and created training business plan for the next two years. Fortunately the President of the Polish Association of Badminton Jadwiga Sławska-Szalewicz was very supportive and she had a trust in this plan. I was being sent to training courses and to the world sport events in order to learn what to aim for. And then the successes came as we won the first three medals at the European Junior Championships in 1999 in Glasgow, Scotland. Przemek Wacha and Kamila Augustyn won the bronze medal in the singles and in doubles competition, Przemek Wacha and Piotr Żołądek reached the finals.
During this time I had some problems of private nature. As I was focusing mostly on training, the competitors, I did not spend enough time with my child. Then I got divorced from my husband, and my daughter was growing up in the sport halls and when we had the away game, competitors' parents looked after her. Those first medals for the country that raised me as a trainer, set the aims in my life. It was during this time I started to believe in myself as a trainer. I knew I was going to be a trainer till the end of my life and that badminton is what I like and what I'm going to live for. Then it was easier because there was success already.
Two years later in 2001 in Spała during the European Junior Championships, Kamila won the Silver medal in the women's singles and in the doubles together with Nadieżda Kostiuczyk, they won the title. Later those players achieved more success on various tournaments. The most gratifying to me as a coach was when Przemyslaw Wacha entered the semi-finals at China Masters in 2007 and the victory by Kamila Augustyn and Nadiezda Kosticzuk at the Denmark Open in 2006. From 2006 competitors trained by me were winning the medals on a regular basis during the Europe Championships. In DenBosh in 2006, two bronze medals in mixed doubles were won Robert Mateusiak and Nadieżda Kostiuczyk and in doubles by Robert Mateusiak and Michał Łogosz. In 2008 in Denmark, Przemysław Wacha won bronze medal and Robert Mateusiak and Nadieżda Kostiuczyk won the silver in mixed doubles. During the Olympics in Pekin we reached two quarter-finals in mens doubles and in mixed doubles. And the Polish team I led, moved from 23-rd position to 11-th in the ranking of World Championship Sudirman Cup.
In 2009 I started to work in Russia in Favorit Ramenskoe Club. We won the European Club Championships and I was offered to work with Russian National Team. In 2010, the womens team from Russia won the silver medal during Europe Team Championships and during Uber Cup finals they entered the final eight. In 2010 at European Championship in Manchester, Ella Diehl won the bronze medal and Valeria Sorokina and Nina Vislova won the title. In 2012 during Premium Super Series in Korea, mixed doublse Nikolayenko/Sorokina entered the semi-finals. And finally we won the bronze medal in women's doubles at the Olympics in London.
After the Bronze medal in London, what is your next ambition to achieve?
Of course I'm not going to stop after the bronze medal. I wish my players a regular success as well as winning Superseries and World Championship medals. I know that in order to achieve such goals you have to systematically build up the structure. And I started to build it in Russia. It's a big country and it has tremendous potential. Now they started to build a 8 courts training hall for the national team only. It will be possible now to train regularly on a top level. Next step is then to raise excellent coaches. A single warrior on a battleground is not enough to win the whole war. We need plenty of those coaches who could help and are here in order to form the structure. We are currently testing the training curriculum for coaches and badminton competitors of Russia ISIDA. This programme will allow the club coaches to observe training sessions of their players during national team training camps and to continue the sessions according to my plans when players are training in their clubs.
Do you have any recommendation to young girl's players on how to achieve your very personal goal?
In order to become a good badminton player one must have a brave heart. The second thing is great coordination and mental endurance. Sport is difficult for girls because trainings do not allow them to have moments of laziness and keep them away from those boys of little value and that is why girls think they lose a lot. Just believe that it's worth to train because girls are then admired by those valuable persons and a discipline they get used to by regular training will help them resolve their life problems. And the rest... it depends on luck.
Last question: Which female athletes inspire you and why?
When I was 18 I took part in the competition called Literaturnaya Rosji 82' (today known as Russian Open), where international players from Denmark and England came to Moscow. Then in a training hall I noticed a girl who was running very fast over the court. I thought it was more than a minute per round and she did quite a few rounds. Then she got up and started a training session, playing against two boys and she did excellent. During next competitions I found out that she was Helen Troke (European Champion 1984 and 1986 from England), but I was shocked that it's possible to train so much and so intensively. Since then she is a great example for me.
I also liked Mia Audina very much. She was mentally very strong. And today I admire Juliane Schenk for her hard work and determination; and Tine Baun for her sophistication on court. But the greatest inspiration for me is Yu Yang. This girl with a smile on her face would defeat anyone and she motivates her weaker partners. Passing by she would always say hello, she's great. And for the incident during the Olympics in London I blame the politics of coaches and judging from my personal experience, I know that players in such countries have no influence at all.
Thanks for the interview!

Third Annual Recorders' Event
3rd Annual Recorders' Event: Ireland's Freshwater Habitats – priorities for biodiversity data
The National Biodiversity Data Centre will host its 3rd Annual Recorders' Event on 20 & 21 August at WIT Main Campus, Cork Rd, Waterford in collaboration with the Environmental Protection Agency.
In the past, many pressures have been placed on freshwater habitats and their species by, amongst others, pollution, the introduction of invasive species, habitat change and loss. In more recent times, the advent of national and international legislation has resulted in a greater emphasis being placed on halting such pressures and protecting and enhancing freshwater habitats. Most notably, the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) has set out requirements for regular monitoring and increased information flow of data relating to the status of the water bodies. The European Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) also focuses on many freshwater species and habitats for special conservation measures and data to assess conservation status required. In addition to these statutory reporting requirements, there are benefits to compiling existing biodiversity data for a multitude of uses; not least to understand information needs on freshwater species that are not covered by both EU Directives.
As the National Biodiversity Data Centre serves as the national repository for biodiversity data, this is an important opportunity for the Centre to engage with the recording community and its key partners to discuss the appropriate role for the Centre, and to identify how best the Centre can complement existing surveys and their data management systems.
The Event is intended to be of interest to a range of interested parties working on the many different aspects of freshwater research, survey & monitoring, and conservation. The event will be of particular interest to biological recorders, researchers, public sector employees and key decision makers.
The fee for the conference is €60. This includes conference pack, refreshments, lunches and evening barbeque.
The programme for the event and booking form can be downloaded at http://www.biodiversityireland.ie/index2.php?page_id=1&tab_id=1. Places are limited so advance booking and payment is essential.
Please email firstname.lastname@example.com should you require further information.

Turkeys are an ungainly mess of a bird.

Science Reasoning Center - Circuits
There are three Electric Circuits passages that target students' science reasoning abilities. They are ...
Bulb A versus Bulb B
11 Questions
This passage describes a collection of simple and related experiments involving a comparison of two different types of light bulbs. Diagrams, tables and short descriptions are used to describe the results of investigating the brightness of the bulbs when configured in circuits in various ways, the appearance of their filaments under a microscope, and a comparison of flow rates through the filaments to air flow rates through straws. Questions target a student's ability to understand an experimental design, to make inferences based on experimental results from similar studies, to draw conclusions that are consistent with provided data, to identify models that are supported by two or more data presentations, and to identify an assumption associated with a conclusion.
Wire Gauge and Characteristics
13 Questions
This passage describes the American Wire Gauge system (AWG) for expressing the width of electrical wires. Two tables are used to describe the relationship between wire gauge, wire diameter, cross-sectional area, resistance, and ampacity at specific temperatures. Questions target a student's ability to select data from a table, to identify the manner in which one variable depends upon another, to interpolate and to extrapolate from data within a table, to recognize complex numerical patterns in tables of data, and to combine information from two different tables to draw complex conclusions.
Series and Parallel Circuits
12 Questions
This passages describes three simple experiments in which the characteristics of series and parallel circuits are compared and contrasted. Figures and written descriptions of observations are provided to describe how the arrangement of light bulbs affects the bulb brightness. Questions target a student's ability to understand an experimental design, to draw conclusions that are consistent with provided data, to make appropriate inferences based on observations, to identify simple relationships between variables, and to identify the experimental conditions that would lead to specific results.
On the Resource CD:
A Resource CD is being prepared to assist classroom teachers in using this section of the website more effectively within their classrooms. The Physics Classroom plans to release the CD during the spring semester or summer of 2013.
The Electric Circuits section of the CD will include five different passages, including these three passages. The passages are accompanied by questions, answers with thorough explanations, and a table that associates each question with a specific science reasoning skill (or college readiness standard). In addition to PDF files, the information on the CD is also available as Microsoft Word files, allowing teachers the ability to pick and choose questions from the large bank of questions associated with each passage.
More information about the CD can be found at the Resource CD page.

Studio Activities
Drawing Your Personality Rose Window Cutout Using the Triangle Sketching an Event Sketching a Sound Creating Texture Creating Abstract Effects A Futuristic Dwelling
Drawing Your Personality
Back to Top
Rose Window Cutout Make a pencil sketch in your sketchbook based on a rose window design. Rose windows sometimes appear on the front a church or cathedral. They are round, so your design should have either symmetrical or radial balance. Leave out all unnecessary details in your work. Transfer your sketch to a sheet of black construction paper. Go over all the lines with white chalk. Make some of the lines thicker than others. Using scissors, cut out all the spaces between the chalk lines. Cut out patches of tissue paper in the shape of the spaces, only slightly larger. Pick different colors of paper for different spaces. Using white glue, attach these patches to the construction paper along their edges. You may want to use two thicknesses of black construction paper and sandwich pieces of tissue paper between the outlined areas. Turn your work to reveal your own stained glass window. PORTFOLIO Write a short paragraph explaining how you chose colors, shapes, and use of space. Keep your description and your stained glass window together in your portfolio.
Using the Triangle Many Renaissance artists followed a triangular or pyramid plan to organize the main figures in their works. Using pencil and ruler, draw a large triangle on a sheet of white paper. Within this shape, fit one or more of the letters that make up your initials. Fill as much of the space inside the triangle as you can. Use only straight, ruled line for your letters. Now continue some of the lines beyond the triangle to the edge of the paper. This will divide the rest of your composition into various shapes. Paint the shapes within the triangle with different values of a single hue. Paint the outside shapes with different values of the complementary hue. PORTFOLIO For your portfolio, write what you learned by creating this painting. Does your work reflect the same balance and organization as that of the Renaissance painters? Explain.
Sketching an Event Plains Indians painted tales of their battles on skins. Look through a newspaper or magazine for coverage of an important event in your city or in the world. On a sheet of paper, sketch the story behind this event. Carefully outline each object in your design. Color the work using watercolor markers. PORTFOLIO Exchange finished artworks with a classmate for peer evaluation. To evaluate a peer's work, use criteria preset by your teacher or class group, or evaluate the use of elements and principles of art, use of media, and how well the artist has followed the directions of the assignment. Keep the peer evaluation of your work and the art work together in your portfolio.
Sketching a Sound Using your imagination, sketch an image that goes with one of these sounds: a bird's song, the roar of the ocean, or breaking glass. Then brush water over your drawing and paint it with watercolors. Choose colors that best express the mood your work calls in mind. PORTFOLIO Write a short paragraph explaining whether you communicated a mood with blurred images.
Creating Texture Working lightly in pencil sketch a nighttime landscape. Include trees, a lake, and the moon. Make your drawing large enough to fill a large sheet of paper. Switching to crayon, trace over all the pencil lines, pressing hard. Place a sheet of burlap beneath your paper. Using the side of an unwrapped crayon, rub over the sky in your drawing. Replace the burlap with bits of dried grass and leaves. Rub the crayon over the lake in your work. Examine the results. Use other materials with rough surfaces as a base for rubbing the remaining forms in your work. (For further information on rubbings, see Technique Tip 25, Handbook.) PORTFOLIO Describe the results of each textural experiment. Write each technique and the words that describe its effects in chart form. Keep this chart and your sketch with texture samples in your portfolio reference. Add new techniques and textures to your chart as you discover them.
Creating Abstract Effects Choose one of the following words: war, hunger, anger. Look through magazines, tearing out pages showing objects that capture the idea of this word. Using pencil and tracing paper, carefully transfer the images you have found to a sheet of paper. Overlap the drawings to create an abstract effect. Use India ink to create contrasts of light and dark shapes. PORTFOLIO You might want to practice for portfolio presentation by presenting this art work to classmates. Display the work, and describe how you used the elements and principles of art to create a theme. Evaluate your success by asking classmates to tell the theme suggested by your work.
A Futuristic Dwelling Art, it has been said, mirrors the time which it is created. This holds especially true for the branch of art called architecture. On a sheet of paper, make a pencil drawing of a dream dwelling of the future. Provide solutions to such growing problems as pollution and thinning of the ozone layer. Share your finished work with classmates. Which design is the most interesting? Why? PORTFOLIO Provide information for art historians of the future. Include this information with your drawing in your portfolio.

Students fight for free speech
November 5, 2008
Universities reverse positions on political speech after students fight policies
College News
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, or FIRE, created a political activity policy for colleges and universities to abide by in response to a string of complaints accusing colleges across the country of silencing student and faculty political expression.
FIRE, a nonprofit educational foundation, wants all public colleges and universities to acknowledge that students and student groups can express themselves politically on campus under the First Amendment and that faculty employees enjoy the right to engage in partisan political speech when occurring outside of their "employment-related" activities.
FIRE released the statement of policy on political activity for campuses Oct.15 following several complaints that university administrations were stifling on-campus speech.
In recent incidents at the University of Texas, University of Illinois and University of Oklahoma, administrators changed course in their policies in response to letters sent by FIRE or negative media attention.
At UT, the move to subdue political speech sparked national attention when students Connor and Blake Kincaid failed to comply with the university's sign policy and faced expulsion. The policy bans signs from being displayed in dorm windows. After media outlets began reporting on the controversy surrounding the sign policy, university President William Powers issued a statement suspending the policy as of Oct. 9.
"We never wanted to make a big deal about this," Connor Kincaid said in an Austin American-Statesman article. "We just wanted to be able to keep our signs up until Election Day. We're glad that we are doing just that."
The president of the University Democrats, Zack Hall, said the two University Democrats members had an Obama sign in their dorm window that said "Vote Democrat" and listed early voting dates.
The students were asked four times by university officials to take down the signs but refused. They were told Oct. 7 they would have to go to a judicial hearing. At the judicial hearing, Connor and Blake were given until 7 p.m. to remove the sign or they would not be cleared to register for spring classes.
"The application of the rule was not equal," Hall said.
Hall said during football season, signs are everywhere and in one instance, the UT fight song was displayed across the windows of a dorm.
Hall received a call from university officials informing him that Powers decided to allow students to post their signs on an interim basis during which a committee would be formed to revise the policy.
"We're really excited about the decision," said Hall. "It's good to know that good old-fashioned civil disobedience can go a long way."
Administrators at Illinois and Oklahoma had a change of plans after attention was brought to policies hampering political expression, too.
The ethics office at the University of Illinois sent a newsletter to employees defining prohibited political activity. According to the policy, prohibited political activity included wearing political buttons and attending on-campus rallies supporting a specific political candidate.
Adam Goldstein, Student Press Law Center legal advocate, said that employees were among those that the Supreme Court indicated did not surrender their rights "at the schoolhouse gate" in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District. In 1969, the Supreme Court established in Tinker that students have the right to freedom of expression at school as long as their expression does not cause "substantial disruption."
"Employees have a right to core First Amendment speech, which is traditionally seen as political speech," he said.
At the University of Oklahoma, students and faculty members received an e-mail from Nick Hathaway, executive vice president and vice president of administration and finance, saying that the university e-mail/network systems may not be used to endorse or oppose a candidate, including the forwarding of political humor/commentary.
FIRE sent a letter to the university expressing concern about the policy. University President David Boren responded that the university has taken no action against any individuals and does not intend to take action against anyone exercising their protected First Amendment freedoms.
No revised policy had been forwarded to students and faculty at the university as of Oct. 15.

We are super happy to share these great photo's by Alice!
And bloody awesome e-book, called
By Legion to Legions
, created by
- Pansy Chan from Hong Kong.
This little something bellow is a perfect example of how amazing ThreeA Legion is and how to bring: "Start the riot! Don't follow it!" motto to life.
Pansy Chan from Hong Kong created e-book with photos of ThreeA toys, called: "Legion to Legions" and I strongly advise to check it out. Since pdf file is a bit heavy (around 13 megabytes), here are two options to download the file:
Google Drive
(please click "file" and then "download" , to save file to your computer and view photos in the flawless quality).
(please click "save file to your computer" , "free download" and then "save file" in the popup window).
You can discuss Pansy's e-book
A few teasers of the mentioned book:
I love spirit of Legion and how people do awesome things to spread the love. They ain't looking for rewards or prizes, they are doing it just because they feel the connection and want to share the passion. Same happening in our monthly photo threads (
) at ThreeA forum. Never hesitate to contact me , if you did something awesome (involving ThreeA) and want to share it with the Legion. Can't always promise you blog coverage, but will be happy to include you in the news and share it on Facebook/twitter.

previous news for this date are above
Ashley Wood Gallery store news, new print for sale tomorrow (Ash's time):
On sale tomorrow at the shop !
As the midnighters are shipping out, as asked im going to release the War Fixers print. 22"x22" same ol edition size. instead of batches, which are a pain, all editions will be offered at once.
And above mentioned print is already gone, according to Ashley's blog:
SOLDOUT at the shop !
Thanks, it seems like I always say it, but to have support for my work is flattering,. I always do what I want to see, nice to know other people out there feel the same!
Latest post from Ashley's blog, showing his sketching process:
Comic stuff
A quick look at my comic process, from sketch/layout to starting the final.
AP 2000AD Mongrol
is going to be up for pre-order at
soon (June 15th, 9:00AM HK time). And since it's regular pre-order, 3AA members supposed to have 24 hours on this one. I'll open F5 bar closer to the sale time (like 4-5 hours prior...so start working on sketches, if you are in the mood). For those, who don't remember: we had another version of Mongrol made (Blackhole), but it was Re-Venture exclusive.
Good news for existing 3AA members!
Not going to SDCC, then join us on the 12th July at Bambaland !
- which only can mean one thing, SDCC Bambalandstore allotment for 3AA members! Don't know how limited it's going to be, but it's a great chance to score something.
I think, this t-shirt container designed by Ashley Wood - is best looking container ever! I wonder what airport security is going to say about this...probably you will have to open it and show that it's not dangerous...as it's looking so real!
Earlier shots of the container and t-shirts. It was mentioned, that we will see it first at SDCC for 1:1 TK t-shirts (hopefully there are a lot more for Bambalandstore - at least for 3AA SDCC allotment).
While we are waiting for more SDCC news, here is gregory (who is part of 3A SDCC team), sharing what he can at the moment:
since we're still waiting on the newsletter to be finalized, here are details i can share:
On the 3A side:
Limited to 1 of each figure per person.
there are an allotted amount of figures for each day for pick up. You'll have to pick during the preorder which day you'll be picking up.
No pick ups on Preview Night.
You must have an ID that matches the name on your SDCC badge and the bambaland/paypal order. You cannot pick up for someone else.
Nothing wil be shipped, everything must be picked up from the convention.
I havent had a chance to speak with IDW so I'm not sure what/when their preorder will be up. I'd imagine they'll follow similar rules as to what they've done in previous years.
we're keeping SDCC pretty light. the toys available for pre-order:
mighty squaro
valve companion square
valve ********

his post one
2000AD AP Mongrol

AP Mongrol price: 65$ shipped.

Latest from Ashley's blog:
Supanova Saturday
Thanks to everyone who came by to say hello, catch up and attend this year's Q&A. Ash will be signing at the convention for another half an hour. - T.P
And finally full reveal of our
WWR surprise
for ThreeA four years Anniversary sale:
4 short years
It has been nothing but a great 4 years for me at 3A, the challenges, the toys, the books, the people all make for memorable and exciting time. I still remember the for NOM sale like it was yesterday! To celebrate the 4 years of 4A, tomorrow we will release the 4th NOM, a 3AA exclusive. The 4th NOM harks back to the original NOM de Plume release in colors, but is based on the new NOM foot soldier design (all parts are new). Also tomorrow we release NOM27, the first NOM Disciple release ! 4 years on and I have not really even scratched the surface of WWR!
So from me, and all the great folks at 3A THANKS, but you will have to excuse me, I have another 4 years to get on with !
NOM27 - first NOM Disciple
- it's really interesting to see the figure, as we have Nom di Sciple rank for many years now (illustrated by tigerfeet)...and now we can all put a face to a name.
WWRp Barguest de Plume
- sale details later on
F5 bar and Grill dedicated to
4 Years Anniversary sale
is up:
Later than usual, 9 hours prior to the sale (unlike usual 24 hour), as I was waiting for more details & info to open the bar. F5 Bar and Grill tradition (when we have a special thread prior and during the sale, where people can share their thoughts, excitement and whatnot) is three years old (give it or take few month), so let's celebrate it as well this time and I am looking forward to all your sketches, art or just seeing old & new faces in the bar. And last, but not the least - let's all have some fun!

NOM27 - first NOM Disciple and 4th NOM
are up at
Each figure costs 125$ and shipping is included in the price. As people were asking me - mask can't be removed from the figures and leather boots are made from PU. leather.
N.O.M 4th is limited to two per person.
NOM 27 - since it's a standard release, it is okay to buy more than two.
As always with scheduled and not limited sales, 3AA members have 24 hours buying window on 3AA exclusive and standard figures.
Since people keep asking: there wasn't any surprise sales spotted so far at Bambalandstore. Just a short sighting of Mighty Squaro (for local pick up at SDCC), which was a glitch.
Here are some news which all fortunate people (you have my envy guys) , who are going to SDCC, were waiting for.
SDCC onsite pickup pre order
Starts 9-00am Hong Kong time at Bamba. Pick your day and toy etc, each day has a limited amount due to space constraints. So be early!!!
I foresee some questions and here is some additional info, which might help:
Blog update is referring to tomorrow: June 27th, 9:00AM Hong Kong time. Sale is only for local pick up at SDCC , there will be no set option, just single figures for different pickup dates (Thursday-Sunday). Only people, who made an order will be able to pick up the figures (just like with Re-Venture exclusives pre-sale).
Three figures will be on sale (not sure about t-shirts):
WWR Mighty Squaro
ThreeA and VALVe 1:1 Sandvich
ThreeA and VALVe Weighted Companion Square
There will be a special allotment of SDCC exclusives at Bambalandstore, sale will start on July 12th and it's for 3AA members, who can't attend SDCC. Bamba version of ZvR Zomb will be available to 3AA on July 12th as well. I don't know how limited Bamba Zomb will be, so can't say anything on this matter.
For those who don't understand ThreeA and VALVe SDCC Sandvich exclusive:
Pics of
AP Popbot
release figures:
AK Hooded Custard
- comes only with
AK Shit Weather Bleak
- more info later on.
SDCC sale rules were put up at ThreeA blog here:
(written by Benny and Cody), basically it wasn't much different from Re-Venture pre-sale (with local pick up as well), however few things changed in comparison with Re-Venture itself (no sales during the show with exception of t-shirts and pick up strictly on selected dates and etc).
Here is entire text of the rules:
ThreeA Toys
San Diego Comic-Con
12 – 15 July 2012
This year, for SDCC 2012, we are going to utilize a Pre-Sale method similar to that offered for 3A Associates (3AA) at the Reventure Hong Kong art event. All three (3) of ThreeA's SDCC Exclusive products will be available for pre-order on 3A's official online store, Bambaland, for pick-up at our booth at San Diego Comic-Con. This means that there will be no toys sold on-site at the event. As with all 3A sales, this pre-order is on a first-come, first-serve basis and there is no guarantee that all who attempt to participate in the pre-order will be able to purchase the product they desire. Once you have placed your pre-order, completed payment, and successfully received order confirmation from ThreeA, you are guaranteed to receive the toys that you ordered when you arrive for pick-up at San Diego Comic-Con to pick up your order.
Due to limited space, we cannot carry our entire stock every day, therefore, each SDCC Exclusive will only have a predetermined allotment for pick-up each day at the event. Our solution to this is to offer items per-day in Bambaland during the Pre-Order. This means that you will see three (3) total products in the online store, available for each of the four (4) consecutive event days . It is up to you to place your own order for the pick-up day that you prefer; each available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Our details and guidelines for the SDCC Pre-Sale follow.
3A SDCC Exclusive Attendee Pre-Sale
· ● Pre-sale begins on Wednesday, 27 June at 09:00am HKT at Bambaland, 3A's online store
· ● Pre-sale is available to the public.
All items are limited to one (1) per person per product (3AA members will receive their standard discount).
It is up to the customer to purchase the item for their preferred pick-up day. If you are only attending one day please log-in to Bambaland early for the sale so that you can secure the day you are attending.
When placing the online pre-order, the buyer MUST enter his/her complete name, as written on his/her legal ID (e.g. ID card, Passport, Driver's License), into the "Special Instructions" text field provided in the screen.
Complete checkout and pay for your order. You will receive an Order Confirmation eMail from ThreeA.
You must pay in advance (with PayPal or AliPay), or your order will be canceled. You will receive a PayPal receipt.
· ● Order pick-up will take place at 10:00am-12:00pm PDT and again at 01:00pm-04:00 PDT on Thursday 12 July through Sunday 15 July, during the event, at the ThreeA side of Booth#2643.
You must be present at the event to collect your order for yourself.
To receive your order, you must present your legal identification (e.g. ID card, Passport, Driver's License), your 2012 San Diego Comic-Con badge, and both your Order Confirmation from Bambaland and your PayPal (or AliPay) receipt.
All the above four (4) pre-requisites must be presented in advance when picking up your order. Absolutely NO exceptions will be made.
· ● The SDCC Pre-Sale ends when the products sell out. All items are subject to availability and on a first-come, first-serve basis so please be early to raise your chances of acquiring the items you desire.
· ● All sales are final. There are NO REFUNDS so be sure that you can personally pick up your own purchase at San Diego Comic-Con 2012 before you participate in the pre-order.
· ● Products cannot and will not be shipped. This option is available for pick-up at SDCC only and solely available to San Diego Comic-Con 2012 attendees. Note that badges will be required during pick-up verification.
· ● In case of any disputes, the decision of ThreeA shall be final.
Since the exclusives that ThreeA produces for SDCC are limited, they are available only to SDCC attendees and must be picked up by the individual who placed (and paid for) the order. 3A Publishing books and 3A Apparel t-shirts will be sold on-site at the event.
SDCC onsite pickup pre-order started on 9:00AM HK time and lasted for around 1 hour and 20 minutes. Currently everything sold out.
Prices of SDCC exclusives (might change for Bambalandstore allotment sale on July 12th, as prices bellow doesn't include shipping)
SDCC 2012 Exclusive - Mighty Squaro
- 155$
Each comes with a booklet - WWR Supplement
SDCC 2012 Exclusive Weighted Companion Square
- 40$
SDCC 2012 Exclusive 3A X Valve Sandvich
- 50$
SDCC pre-order figures replaced
NOM 4th and NOM 27

Uruguay vs. Korea, 10 a.m. ET
Today's games feature the end of the draw that's wide open. Having bumped aside England and France, one of Uruguay, Korea, the U.S. and Ghana is going to make the semi-finals here. Uruguay may be the tournament's most surprising side, having yet to concede a goal. Despite their drubbing by Argentina, the Koreans have shown their scrappiness. Expect the Asians to come forward hard, while the Uruguayans trust to counterattack. An early goal could make this a classic.
Prediction: Uruguay 3, Korea 2
USA vs. Ghana, 2:30 p.m. ET
Africa's only representative in the knockout rounds has a terrible burden of expectation on them. Despite missing Michael Essien, the Ghanaians have been taking it to opponents. And they've been getting better. Like Korea, the U.S. have took a tough group despite a pair of terrible officiating calls, either one of which would have given them victory. Ghana have more skill across the park, but the U.S. appear to have fate on their side.
Prediction: USA 1, Ghana 1 (USA wins on penalty kicks)

Route 2: If you do not have a Masters in Literacy, but have a Masters degree in another educational field, 21 or more credits are needed in addition to the 42 doctoral credits. Some coursework that has been taken in Literacy related courses in other programs may be accepted.
Required Courses: Click here for the Ph.D. Literacy program planning sheet.
Certification: If you are not already certified in Literacy, this program will enable you to acquire New York State certification after completing the pre-requisite coursework and passing the NYS Content Specialty Exam in Literacy.

All I can say is, it's a good thing I didn't have to choose a winner of the Patch Pet Halloween Costume Contest, because they were all so darn cute.
But you readers *did* pick a clear winner: Super Girl Kimmie from Woburn, who appears to have been entered in the contest by Lindsay.
Super Girl Kimmie had far-and-away the most Patch reader votes, butthe other contestants also drew votes from fans. In particular, Ozzy the pirate, Ann the pumpkin pug and 'round-up doggie' brought out the voters.
Thank you, everyone, for participating in our Pet Halloween Costume Contest. Lindsay, please contact us about how to reach you to bestow the $50 gift card on you and Kimmie.

40-6060 - Johnson Level Electronic Level Inclinometer
Ground / Parcel Shipping
Johnson Level Electronic Level Inclinometer
From Johnson Level & Tool, this Electronic Level Inclinometer (40-6060) is equipped with advanced features that make angle measurement much easier than with traditional vial-based levels. When determining level 0° and plumb 90°, the LCD screen displays the inclination (in either degrees or percent), and an arrow on either indicating the adjustment needed to achieve level. Activating the horn function causes the unit to beep as it approaches a perfect horizontal or vertical angle, confirming the position with a solid tone.
Other handy functions include automatic digit inversion when the level is upside down, and a hold button which freezes the screen's reading at any given moment, making it possible to measure and record angles in tight or inaccessible areas. This model also features a magnetic edge strong enough to hold the unit to a metal surface when hands-free use is needed.
*NOTE: The 3-year limited warranty is only valid if the included warranty card is completed and submitted within 30 days of purchase. For more information about the warranty submission process, please visit www.johnsonlevel.com.
Audible and Visual Aid:
When finding horizontal or vertical level, the unit displays the inclination measurement and directional arrows, with the option to have audible alerts as wellAccuracy:
This level is accurate to ± 0.1° for 0° and 90°, ± 2° for other anglesAuto Shut-Off:
After 6 minutes of inactivity, the level will automatically turn itself off to conserve battery life
