News of the release of the first LSB specification reaches Norway in this July 4, 2001 article that appeared on Hardware.no. (Note: Article appears in Norwegian.)
Ed Scannell of InfoWorld covered the release of LSB 1.0 in this July 3, 2001 article that was syndicated throughout the IDG.net network. He interviews a programmer working for "a large Houston-based oil company" on his views of why the LSB is important:
June 2, 2001 - CNET heralds the Free Standards Group's release of version 1.0 of the Linux Standard Base (LSB) specification. We've done it! Hurray! Highlights from the article:
An industry group has released the first version of a standard designed to make it easier to write Linux software by guaranteeing that different versions of Linux work similarly.
That sound you hear is the drumroll leading up to the widely anticipated release of LSB 1.0. NewsForge gets in on the action. Tina Gasperson writes:
Evan Leibovitch continues his interpretation of the history of the LSB. He argues that "the LSB has been working on the tough and unsexy tasks of defining a standard, creating a sample implementation, and testing for compliance." (Unsexy?) Evan also hits on several recent LSB milestones (LDPS 1.1, Li18nux, FHS 2.2), applauds the participation of The Open Group, and pines for the anticipated release of LSB 1.0. (For now, he says, "I think it has been correct to do it right rather than rush it.")
CNET reports on the release of LDPS 1.1, as well as version 2.2 of the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard and version 0.6 of the LSB specification. Excerpts from the article:
SD Times has an interesting article by J.D. Hildebrand that lists what he views as the key "organized consortia, work groups and standard bodies" that "loosely govern" the open-source world. As of December 1, 2000, when the article was originally published, the Free Standards Group was at the top of his list (well, nearly). Here's how he describes the Free Standards Group:
This colorful and very spirited op ed piece by Bill Bennett, which originally appeared on australia.internet.com (linuxtoday.com.au) on October 16, 2000, asks, "Will App Specs Achieve What Unix Couldn't?" and is sure to spark some controversy — it's complete with references to dinosaurs, libertarianism, Stalinism, and techno-fascism, as he makes his point about why the Free Standards Group's efforts with the LDPS are so important and why he hopes that the Free Standards Group succeeds!
Live from the Third Annual Atlanta Linux Showcase 2000: Todd Weiss of Computerworld reports on the Free Standards Group's release of the first version of the Linux Development Platform Specification. Read the article as seen on CNN.com. Excerpts from the article:
This article, which appeared in the Linux "Advisor Zone" on October 13, 2000, summarizes the Free Standards Group's announcement of the release of LDPS 1.0, the Linux Development Platform Specification.

Renault: F1 will not lose speed with V6 engines
22 January 2014 – Formula 1 will not become a significantly slower sport with the introduction of turbocharged 1.6-litre V6 power units. This is the view of Rob White, the Deputy Managing Director of Renault Sport F1.
Although leading paddock figures have suggested that lap times could raise significantly as a result of the sport's technical overhaul, White says there is no reason to be overly concerned about on-track performance.
When asked if Formula 1 will retain its speed, White said: "The short answer is yes. What was an academic question in the beginning has become a lot more real from every point of view, but we have no need to worry.
"Obviously we are still in the virtual world and not on-track but we have measured PU performance on the test bed and have matched the most optimistic predictions. We believe that the Power Unit will deliver a lot of power and will be more than enough to make cars quick. The way that the cars will deliver this performance will be somewhat different this year due to the PU and aero regulations.
"The driving experience will be quite different, but we will absolutely see real speed out on track."
With increased emphasis on the management of power units and their recovery systems, plus factors such as the 100kg fuel limit per driver, per race, White expects the 2014 campaign to yield unpredictable results.
"This year there will be a lot of factors that drive unpredictable outcomes and from most people's standpoint, unpredictable results are good in a sporting event," added White.
"We need to keep hold of some of the fundamental elements; there will be 22 cars on the grid and when the lights go out the guy that gets to the flag first is the winner. In between there will be a battle for positions on track, meaning there will be real racing.
"The way in which the races are managed by the teams is one of the big differences between 2013 and 2014. It is fair to say there are several different ways to skin a cat and this will produce different scenarios as we explore different possibilities about how to manage energy and power.
"Although the tool kit that we have is different, the fundamentals of the races remain very similar. Ultimately it is for the drivers to go for the opportunities presented to them."

For anyone that saw Part I and Part II of our interview with Wesley Walker, you saw that Wesley gave a great deal of praise to his quarterback teammate, Ken O'Brien. This afternoon, I decided to bring you a background on the guy that Wesley Walker called the greatest quarterback he ever played with, hands down. So, spotlight on former Jets QB Ken O'Brien.
O'Brien was born in Rockville Center, NY, but moved out to California early in life. He played at Jesuit High School in Carmichael, California. He started his college career at Sacramento State in 1978, then transferred to the University of California, Davis. He was division II All-American in his senior year of 1982, and was selected All-Far Western Conference QB three times. Kenny was named to the Collge Football Hall of Fame in 1997.
Ken O'Brien was drafted as part of the famous 1983 quarterback class by the New York Jets, although history gives the Jets a lot of grief for making the pick. The Jets chose O'Brien with the 24th pick in the first round, but that left some guy named Dan Marino on the board for the Dolphins, and he went on to be, well Dan Marino.
But many Jets fans, myself included, will tell you that this was not the blunder that many made it out to be.

I read the reviews so I bought a size larger. I wear a size 6/8 dress so I purchased a large, 10/12. Granted I am 5'10 it still did not cover half of my booty it was so short. It literally fits like a top. So, if you are tall, this is NOT the costume for you.
I found this online last year. Went into the store to try it on... I'll admit, i definitely need an undershirt and to keep an eye on the bottom so it doesn't ride up.. But i LOVE it!:) It's super comfy, cute, and sexy! I felt really confident in it:) For my first adult halloween costume, i was very happy:)I wore it to pass out candy last year with friends, and i plan to wear it again to a halloween party this year:)

I am only 5'2 and this dress fit like a shirt. Very disappointing. The quality is very cheap.

Chinese portal Sohu says profit down, revenue up
Monday - 2/4/2013, 4:23am EST
BEIJING (AP) - Sohu.com Inc., which operates a popular Chinese Internet portal, said Monday its quarterly profit fell 9 percent as rising expenses offset strong revenue growth for online games.
The company earned $23 million, or 60 U.S. cents per share, in the three months ending Dec. 31. Revenue rose 22 percent from a year earlier to a record $229 million, driven by a 29 percent rise in online game revenue to $158.9 million.
Beijing-based Sohu operates online media, search, gaming and community services.
Chinese Internet companies have seen revenues improve as the country's economic growth rebounds from a three-year low last year but face high costs for technology development and bandwidth.
For the full year, Sohu's profit fell 49 percent from 2011 to $78 million, or $2.03 per share. Revenues rose 25 percent to just over $1 billion.
"Despite the slowdown in China's economic growth, I'm pleased that the Sohu Group's total annual revenues rose 25 percent year-on-year and surpassed the $1 billion mark for the first time in our history," said chairman Charles Zhang in a statement.
Expenses rose 12 percent to $141.5 million driven by higher costs for staff and marketing.

One of those companies is JPay, which provides electronic money transfers and other services to about 70 percent of state prisons.

So apparently there is a reality television show called Duck Dynasty, and one of the stars was suspended from the program for saying something homophobic. So naturally, the GOP is running to defend him. Wait what?
Yes, folks, for real.
Sarah Palin expressed solidarity with one of the stars of the television show "Duck Dynasty" after he was suspended from the program for making anti-gay comments.
Palin said reality TV star Phil Robertson was only voicing his personal opinions, adding that "free speech is an endangered species."
"Those 'intolerants' hatin' and taking on the Duck Dynasty patriarch for voicing his personal opinion are taking on all of us," the former Alaska governor wrote in a Facebook post Wednesday night.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) said he found many of Robertson's remarks offensive but said people are entitled to express their own views. The "Dynasty" family lives in Louisiana.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz also joined in the fun, saying that anyone who believes in free speech should be "deeply dismayed." Which brings me to only one conclusion: I'm not sure that these folks know what the first amendment and free speech actually mean? Yes, you are allowed to express your opinions, however unpopular. No one's gonna arrest Mr. Duck Dynasty for being a homophobe. But just because you can say whatever you want, doesn't mean that there will literally be no consequences to saying super hateful shit. I actually wonder if these folks understand this, or if other maybe less idiotic Republicans (do they exist?) are embarrassed by these folks complete failure to grasp this basic concept. Shit, I'm embarrassed for them.

The summers not halfway over, but the Dallas Mavericks are in a celebratory mood because of the numerous upgrades theyve made to their roster.First, the Mavs made a significant improvement at center when they re-acquired fan-favorite Tyson Chandler via a trade with the New York Knicks. Then, they outfoxed the rival Houston Rockets and secured versatile small forward Chandler Parsons.The Mavs also got two of their own free agents Dirk Nowitzki and Devin Harris to take considerably less money than what they could have received on the open market.The summer acquisitions likely led to some high-fives being exchanged around Victory Park. Still, Donnie Nelson threw out a warning sign to competing teams Monday as the Mavs crawled ever so gently back into championship contention.Were not done, said Nelson, who is the Mavericks president of basketball operations. But we feel pretty good about where things are right now.Financially, the Mavs have commitments to 12 players for next season. The NBA allows teams to carry 15 players on their final roster, but the Mavs may not reach that limit any time soon.We may end up keeping a slot open because you just never know what happens down the line, Nelson said. Weve got another frontline guy we want.Were always looking for help in the backcourt, with an eye on 3-point shooting, and then kind of a rangy defender would be nice as well. Were still in search of those, but those spots dont necessarily need to be filled through free agency. Obviously, there are trades and all kinds of other ways you can do that.Mo Williams is likely to land in Dallas as a backup point guard. The Mavs are also looking at Carlos Boozer, Mo Williams, Lance Stephenson, Mike Miller, Al-Farouq Aminu and possibly re-signing Shawn Marion.Nelson noted that the Mavs could retain center Bernard James, who is on the teams summer league roster.Wed love to be able to have Sarge back because of his shot blocking, Nelson said. You can never have enough of that, and the integrity and just the kind of person he is.In addition, the Mavs are intrigued with 30-year-old Ivan Johnson, a 6-foot-8, 255-pounder who was with the Atlanta Hawks from 2011 to 2013. They view Johnson in the role of free-agent DeJuan Blair, who played last year with the Mavs and is closing in on a roster spot with the Washington Wizards.Ivans one of those kinds of tough guys that can play a couple of positions, Nelson said. Hes kind of in a Blair mode kind of a [power forward] who can slide over to play some [center].Hes really a tough-nosed, knock-you-down defender and rebounder. But also we think he can show some promise being able to hit an outside shot, and hes young and developing, so were keeping a close eye on him.The Mavs were hoping to re-sign 37-year-old Vince Carter. But he eventually signed with the Memphis Grizzlies for three years and $12.2 million.Nevertheless, the Mavs moved quickly and signed 34-year-old Richard Jefferson to replace Carter. And the Mavs acknowledged that Jeffersons numbers last year were similar to Carters.Carter averaged 11.9 points and 3.5 rebounds in 24.4 minutes per game, shooting 40.7 percent from the field and 39.4 percent from 3-point range. Jefferson averaged 10.1 points and 2.7 rebounds in 27 minutes per contest, shooting 45 percent from the floor and 40.9 percent from beyond the 3-point arc.What took this summer over the top for the Mavs, though, was the acquisition of Parsons. The Mavs signed the highly sought-after 6-foot-9, 227-pound restricted free agent to a three-year, $46 million offer sheet Thursday, and then waited three days before Houston decided to not match the offer.Part of the reason Houston didnt match the offer is because Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said the contract was structured to the point where it made it difficult to trade Parsons. Nelson, though, said the Mavs went all-in so they can retain Parsons for a long time, not so they can trade him.We really needed him, Nelson said. We played the [restricted free agent] card, and then youve got to sweat it for three days.But were happy campers.Happy for a lot of reasons beyond just the acquisition of Parsons.

Move Over Psychology, Facebook Is Making Some Serious Personality Assessment Moves
Attention incoming college freshman: I suggest you pre-order your Psychology 101 books instead of trading upperclassmen for a hand-me-down edition with a case of Bud Light. Why? There's a new personality theorist in town: Facebook.
Skinner, Eysenck, Maslow and Freud are going to have to make some extra room at their lunch table (we hope that Zuckerberg wears pink on Wednesdays) because according to a new app created by Five Labs, our everyday actions on Facebook showcase enough of our personalities to generate immediate assessments (how are you feeling about that " haha BRB lightin this blunt, YOLO" status right about now?)
After reading this NY Times post last week, I decided to give the personality tool a try, and I'm definitely not complaining about being compared to industry leaders like Bill Gates and Sheryl Sandberg along with my forever WCW Jennifer Lawrence (I can't take all the credit on this one- I post about red wine and embarrassing moments a lot), but Facebook still doesn't seem like the most…reliable judge of personality.

I recently realized, upon recognizing that I have no plans for the Fourth of July, that the best part of this "getting older" thing was Not Giving a Shit.
All throughout college, and even for a few years later, there were a few nights every year where I just had to have plans to feel cool. These nights included New Years Eve, Halloween, Memorial Day, and the Fourth of July.
Now I view these days as days where something fun may go down, but they're mostly just excuses to drink heavily at huge parties with lots of people who you probably don't know and will never see again. This is why I don't put much weight in making plans for these momentous occasions anymore.
One of my good friend's and his fiancee have a New Years Eve party every year that's rather low key and lovely. And if I feel the need to eat BBQ on the Fourth or Memorial Day, I can order it (or cook it! - which has never happened but I know I'm capable of it).
When I see the Instagrams of girls in their early twenties getting dressed up to eventually be blacking out in the early hours of the next morning, I think, "Oh, it was fun, for sure," when I didn't know any better, but I'm glad as f*ck that it's not my life anymore.
Last week I met up with my best friend, Jess, and her sister, Dina, for an early dinner. Jess was craving beer and ample amounts, so when I discovered that Fred's wasn't opened until 5pm, we walked a few blocks to George Keeley's.
I'd only been to George Keeley's once before and it was on a Friday night, so food wasn't really the main event. I remembered that they did one thing well: wings.
I convinced the girls to get wings and they were happy I did because they were very, very good. I wish I could say the same for my quesadilla but I cannot. It was gross, and the portion size was disgustingly big. I didn't try any of my friend's dishes, but they didn't look too appetizing either.
In conclusion: If you're looking for good (or decent) bar food, George Keeley's is not the spot. I'd recommend going up to what I've lovingly dubbed Dochebag Row (both Brother Jimmy's and Jake's Dilemma are on that block) and pop in to grab a bite at The Dead Poet, where the food is much tastier and though the crowd does get a little ridiculous and kind-of douchebaggy, it's a much nicer atmosphere than most of the bars you'll find in that area.
Super Dive is officially moving to Murray Hill to take its rightful place with the other douchey banker bars. In the year it's been open, I've still yet to go in. The one time I had plans to go it ended up being closed down for a benefit. That was the day that I learned you don't bring a guy to a bar where you are going to know half of the people who walk in the door (we ended up at Destination, obviously), because it leads to many awkward conversations after.
The only thing that worries me now is that all of Super Dive's clientele is going to relocate themselves to Destination… We shall see!

As you can tell, I spend a lot of time in Midtown West. Although it's not the "cool" part of the city and it's incredibly touristy, it's where I often venture out for pre- or post-show libations with friends. Here are a couple of my favorites.
Latitude Bar & Grille: I have a history of coming here for parties and fundraisers. I love the roof deck as well. The lower levels can be fun too, but they often get alarmingly crowded and on the roof there's breathing room. It's especially beautiful to be up there at sunset. At night you can almost see the lights of Times Square from Eighth Avenue. The prices are incredibly reasonable for midtown too. 8th Avenue between 47th and 48th Streets
Glasshouse Tavern: I stumbled upon this gem of a bar while killing time before a performance of Spring Awakening in 2007 and returned a few times in 2010, a couple of months ago with my friend Brian before he caught a performance of Next to Normal. I think it's really moderately priced ($8-$10 for a glass of wine) and laid back. You can sit at the bar and not be crowded or be rushed out. I've yet to try the food, but I've heard it's quite good. 49th Street between Broadway and 8th Avenue.
Celtic Pub: I started frequenting this bar in 2005 with my friend Matt back when it was just Playwrights Tavern, and as of late, I find myself frequenting this spot again (still with Matt). Known as an after-show hang out for stage hands and the like, this is your standard Irish pub with cheap drinks (averaging around $8/drink or so) and mediocre and tasty (but cheap) bar food. Sports are always on the LCDs and it's often packed at the bar and the tables, but if you wait around for ten minutes or so, you'll be able to snag a seat and you won't be banished to their upstairs seating area. 8th Avenue between 45th and 46th Streets.
Bar 41: Located in the back of the ground floor of Hotel 41, this is a spot that is always crowded after work. However, my fondest memories are pulled from the weekend of September 7th-8th, 2008 - closing weekend of the ground-breaking musical, Rent. My best friend John decided on the 7th that we were, in fact, going to get a room at Hotel 41 and party it up and party it up we did. The bartender after the show on the 7th was amazingly kind and let us sit at the bar as long as we wanted while we noshed and boozed. I've been back to this bar a dozen times since and it never disappoints - though it has been crowded. They have happy hour prices from 4-7pm and drinks range from $7-$13. West 41st Street between 7th and 8th Avenues.
Blockheads: I had to include this bar because many great college memories were had here. Tortilla chips are served to each table and margaritas are $3 and over-flowing with tequila (albeit cheap tequila, but that's all you can really expect when you're in college!). Located in the middle of World Wide Plaza on a beautiful night with an exceptional breeze, this is the perfect summer spot. I probably love it more in the fall though, when it's a bit cooler. The food isn't bad either. 8th Avenue between 50th and 51st Streets.
Sardis: After discovering how shockingly cheap a glass of Sauvignon Blanc was ($9) at Sardis and how classy I felt sipping wine up there, the upstairs bar at Sardis became an instant favorite of mine. The bartenders are also incredibly sweet, and did I mention the bar food? Not the food you can order from the menu (although Sardis is a famous restaurant, I've never much been impressed by the food there), but the complimentary food that's placed on the bar for their Happy Hour clientele. They put out cheese and crackers, nuts, and pretzels, this plus my $9 wine… well, you can't beat that. And you never know who you might run into here before or after a show!

I love the month of October. Fall colors, pumpkins, candy corn and cooler weather. It's the best month of the year. For those of us that live around Tempe, this month is special for one other reason – Four Peaks Oktoberfest at Tempe Town Lake. That glorious weekend of beer, bands, food, beer, games, fun, beer and lederhosen is upon us again. From October 10 - October 12, 2014, thousands will flock to Tempe Town Lake and listen to great music and sample great beer. In addition to live music, there are rides, games and lot of food.

There is a laundry list of bands playing Saturday as well – playing polka, cover songs, country, rock and alternative. Oktoberfest at Tempe Town Lake isn't just for adults. There are a lot of activities for kids to enjoy all weekend. Kinderfest runs from Friday through Sunday and will […]Learn More
The fall Music in the Garden concert series at the Desert Botanical Garden begins this Friday, October 3! The timing couldn't be more perfect.

Get there early to enjoy an amazing dinner at the garden's onsite restaurant, Gertrude's. Be sure to make a reservation since Gertrude's can be very busy on concert evenings.

This week, we celebrate Tempe's Hispanic roots with the 16th Annual Tempe Tardeada. In 1872, Hispanic families arrived from southern Arizona and northern Mexico and founded a town called San Pablo (which ultimately merged with the settlement know as Hayden's Ferry to become City of Tempe). These early settlers introduced their own culture, cuisine and social activities, including music and entertainment such as dances, concerts and Cinco de Mayo celebrations each year. A tardeada is a social dance that is traditionally held on Sunday afternoons. The Tempe Tardeada will take place this Sunday, October 5 from noon to 8 p.m. at the Tempe Cultural Complex, located on Southwest corner of Rural Road and Southern Avenue. The celebration will feature many free activities, including music, dancing, arts and crafts, face painting and inflatables, The Game Truck, and the Tempe History Museum's Family Albums exhibit. In addition, vendors will sell delicious foods at family-friendly prices. So pack up family and enjoy this fun Tempe tradition. It's a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Fall is definitely in the air and, there's a lot to enjoy in Tempe this week. Check out this list and view a complete listing of Tempe events, or call 480-894-8158 for more information.

We thought it would be a great idea to write a blog about bikes and beer. We asked our friend Cristopher Matthews, a local beer and bicycle lover, to write a blog for us because these happen to be two of his favorite hobbies. Be sure to follow him on Twitter here. Navigating the Valley of the Sun is as easy as riding a bike. Riding to, from and within Historic Downtown Tempe is a wondrous way to navigate the city. Whether you are departing from Downtown Phoenix, Arcadia or SoSco (South Scottsdale), these routes will deliver you to and from the cultural center of the East Valley. The key to a good ride includes minimal preparation and essential stops along the way. Route options you can choose include bike lanes or one of Tempe's 175 miles of dedicated bike paths. When traveling to Phoenix, many bikers take the Grand Canal from Curry Rd. west until they hit Roosevelt St., where they then enjoy a great ride into downtown. There are also many other bike lanes to choose from, between more paths, lanes and neighborhoods. For those in a rush, taking the light rail is a great option. The trains have racks inside to hang your bike between stops. From Arcadia, a route through Papago Park will more than suffice. Paved routes along the canal and greenbelt or through historic neighborhoods may further inspire your urban adventure. Another great route into Tempe begins in Arcadia (a neighborhood that centers around […]Learn More
Every day lunchtime is an adventure. Usually, it's because I have no idea what I'm going to eat or where I'm going to eat. When I feel like going out for lunch in Downtown Tempe (and lately, there have been a lot of those days), I usually like to explore a new place I've never been to before or return to one I haven't been to in a while. A couple of coworkers and I decided to try out the Downtown Tempe Lunchtime Trolley. It's a free trolley and runs Monday – Friday, from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. There are eight stops on its route and the wait time is usually never more than 20 minutes. The trolley is scheduled to run through September 30th. We took it from our office on Mill Ave. and Third St. over to Hayden Ferry for lunch at Romancing the Bean. I'm ashamed to admit that I had never been there before. It was pretty packed, which I thought was a good sign because that means it's good. The lunch menu consists of salads, sandwiches and their signature stuffed croissants. I ended up ordering the spinach and feta croissant with an Arnold Palmer. The croissant was amazing. It was so good that I seriously considered ordering another one. And the Arnold Palmer was the best one I've ever had. D'Lish Kitchen and Coffee House opened up a Tempe location a year or so ago. It's on Apache and Terrace and is conveniently located by the […]Learn More

The end of summer and beginning of fall is upon us. I don't know if there has ever been an event quite like the Summer Ends Music Festival to celebrate this grand occasion in Tempe. Music lovers like me will rejoice at the lineup at this festival. It will be three days of some of the best bands from alternative and punk rock's glory days, combined with really great new artists. The Summer Ends Music Festival is going to be at Tempe Beach Park from September 26-28. This is a perfect venue for concerts. You can maneuver your way up close to the stage, or you can hang back and relax. There's plenty of room to spread out. They'll have food and drink vendors on site. But, I suggest that you plan ahead and eat lunch or dinner on Mill Avenue in Downtown Tempe before you see your favorite bands. There are tons of places to eat and enjoy a beverage like the Handlebar Tempe, Rula Bula Irish Pub and Loco Patron. You can buy a ticket for one day, or purchase three day passes. So, who am I looking forward to seeing the most? Let's explore each the lineup for each day. In addition to the acts listed below, festival goers can also see local bands such as Black Carl and Banana Gun. See the website for all of the details and the estimated timing for each performance.

Singer and musician Cris Cab is coming to New.Music.Live. on Thursday, October 18! Cris has been on the rise lately and he's only 19 years old and his smooth voice with that reggae tinge is definitely infectious. That's one of the many reasons he's gotten popular from his single "Good Girls" , which he recently re-worked with Big Sean. Listen to it here. We'll be talking to Cris about how he hooked up with Big Sean, what it was like being mentored by Pharrell Williams, and how he clicked with Wyclef Jean in the recording studio. And of course we'll hear more about his EP, Echo Boom. Catch him live at the El Mocambo on October 18 in Toronto!
If you want to see Cris Cab live on NML, tickets are free! Check out all the deets on how to score some here.

By this fourth daughter, the one who now at age three executes diving somersaults off the couch rather than mere rolling somersaults, I really have fallen from the scheduled activity wagon. I know she'd enjoy music or dance or gymnastics (and in the fall, solemn promise, she'll do something movement-oriented and this summer, she'll receive some swimming instruction) but she's been two until a little bit ago and we have so much busy in our lives it seems like Herculean scheduling efforts to attend a class that might last 45 minutes or less.
Under things I'd never orchestrate her doing: Junior Kumon. Apparently, it's catching on, though, according to one of those pressure-cooker-things-parents-nowadays-are-doing articles in the New York Times (you know, the articles meant to make parents feel nervous about what they are not doing for their precious children clearly bound for somewhere other than the Ivy League).
Am I biased about this? I'll 'fess up: absolutely yes. I cannot imagine wanting additional rote learning for any of my kids. I surely would not seek out additional rote homework for my kids, especially at age three. The idea of kids accomplishing incredible academic feats at very young ages strikes me as a terrible thing to actively encourage in one's child. I'm much more interested in my daughter playing outside, pretending, enjoying books and hanging with her pals and her brothers. I'm interested in pretty much anything but trying to make her a "good student."
A reader of my blog, in response to a piece I wrote about toys (and gender) wrote this:
I have this theory on the five essential things of childhood.
Any time these things are available, they will be played with before other, less essential things. Those things are water, sticks, dirt or sand and rocks. I know, it is only four - bear with me. Those things will be picked up, put down, rearranged, stirred, mixed and transformed by the power of imagination into other things. For each kid, there is a fifth thing. For my older daughter it was Something To Climb; trees, climbing frames, railings, it was all fair game. For my younger daughter it was a stuffie; some fuzzy friend to talk to and tell stories to and about. The fifth thing changed over time for both girls, but the basic impulses are still there, for Aerin to move and move big, for Alice to shape a narrative and relationships out of what is in front of her.
So what is the fifth thing for each of your kids?
I have never heard Kumon homework sheets cited as the fifth thing. And I feel confident I never will.
Agree completely and I've already posted about this on Motherlode. The fifth thing in our house was a dog. (Sorry!)
Couldn't agree more! I've lost the link, but there was a study recently that correlated imaginative play in toddlers and later academic and social success. Not that I needed any validation, but it was nice to see the research supporting our approach. KIDS should be KIDS! Especially at this young, tender age.
That said, B begged me for weeks to attend a ballet class, and I gave in and she adores it and practices all her moves all over the house. Self-imposed "homework" :)
Someone else told me years ago it was books, bikes, bats and balls, but my kid was never interested in bats or books. Balls and bikes, yes. And the fifth thing there was probably supposed to be "boys." As in either you are one, or you want to play with them.
As a Kumon Instructor, and mother of a son who started Kumon at age 4, I think it's unfortunate that this discussion is framed in such a single focus way. The image is of a parent driving their 2-year-old to Kumon, then to Spanish lesson, then to Suzuki violin, then standing over them, threatening bed without dinner if they don't complete all their work neatly and on time.
Are there mothers like that? Absolutely (though not in the Valley). And sometimes they do sign up for Junior Kumon. But what I see with my young students is that they love to do the work. Ever give a child a workbook? It's playing grown up to them. like their big brothers and sisters. I keep Kumon easy, I keep it positive, I keep it to fifteen minutes a day and my young students love it.
My own kids play in the dirt, they do Kumon, they sometimes set the table (if I nag enough), they listen to books on tape, and are generally imaginitive fun kids with plenty of free time. They are also quite good at math, confident readers, and find school a pleasure. It's all worked for us.
Here we are again, Sarah. We just see things so differently, it amazes me. I speak my mind to you, when I feel necessary, because I think (and hope), you appreciate it.
I do not know a whole lot about Kumon, but I am positive it is based on strategic learning methods rather than rote learning. I am not really bothered by your thoughts on Junior Kumon.
"The idea of kids accomplishing incredible academic feats at very young ages strikes me as a terrible thing to actively encourage in one's child. I'm much more interested in my daughter playing outside, pretending, enjoying books and hanging with her pals and her brothers. I'm interested in pretty much anything but trying to make her a "good student."
I just cannot seem to stomach these sentences, mainly the last one. It is my belief that the foundation I lay in the early years is the most important thing for my children. Why wouldn't you be interested in encouraging your daughter to be a good student? This literally makes no sense to me. Your children are going to spend something like 30% of their life in school.
I recognize that you are far more experienced than me, having 3 other children in school. Did you feel this way when they were 3, and if so, are they good students now?
I am a strong believer that America is shifting away from the importance of good education, in a time when we simply cannot afford to let that happen. Our children are going to be competing against the entire world when they enter the workforce!
For me, encouraging my children to value our education system, is crucial. I am not claiming to be a tiger mom, but I am certainly not going to let my children romp around all day without understanding the importance of being a good student!
I'm just sayin......
Maybe what I'm really trying to say is this: imagination is going to get her further than numbers & letters at age 3. The joy of discovery, that will lead to critical thinking. You'll be a better student & more so a more joyous learner if you have that in your back pocket.
So I'm not going to focus upon her "academics" now. Not hitting her classmates, though, I'm right there!
To me what we're losing in American education at this time is the whole child. I like to think whole people do better academically & in all other ways.
Difficult topic as I see it's hit a chord for many. I think we're all concious of the slip in education but just as aware that in this electronic age the basics of play, of discovery, of tripping over surprises, are just as educational as learning to read at three. My eldest son is a prolific reader who didn't now what the ABCs were until 6. Getting an early start has its up side but should never replace the joys of natural discovery and DEFINITELY shouldn't become a tool toward a goal. Living abroad I am shocked by how much "growing up" in the US is focussed toward getting them into college!
I firmly & truly believe if we support their creative play & kid-ness (& being in their bodies for fun) they will learn plenty (& plenty more than if focused on academics from the get-go). We have totally forgotten the notion of there's time for that serious stuff later.
I would love to put together a discussion on this matter. I have so many thoughts and feelings about this, as well as true concern. If anyone is interested in getting together for wine and cheese and discussing this topic, let me know!

The Phantom Family Halo released their brand-new record, When I Fall Out, this past February. You can pick up the record online via iTunes, Amazon, and the Knitting Factory Records store. The record is also available in your local record store.
About The Phantom Family Halo:
Originally from Allentown, PA, Dominic Cipolla has called Louisville KY, home for more then 20 years. During his early years in Louisville, as well as playing in bands including seminal Louisville collective Sapat, he formed a friendship and musical connection with Michael McMahan (The For Carnation/Slint). After playing in several bands together, including the Louisville favorite Starkiller, Cipolla began writing and recording The Legend Of Black Six, the first release under the name Phantom Family Halo. Other then enlisting McMahan for some guitar wizardry, it would be the first of several records that he was mainly responsible for the writing, instrumentation and recording process. In 2009 the same solo approach was used again for the sprawling double L.P., Monoliths and These Flowers Never Die, and in 2010 with the soundtrack Music From Italian T.V. (Read more.)
As a special bonus The 22 Magazine will be giving away a free download of WHITE HOT GUN for our premier of FREE FRIDAY!, a new section of freebies on Friday's.

Opening Reception: Saturday, Sept 3rd, 7:00pm-11:00pm. Show runs Sept 3rd thru 25th, 2011.
Known for his strong and sensuous depictions of women, Brian M. Viveros is a master of contemporary iconography paying homage to the femme fatale. While he almost exclusively paints portraits, within the expressions of his women is conveyed such deep emotion and overwhelming sexuality that his work is undeniably erotic. Often without even a hint of nudity, the viewer is seduced with a mere pout and gaze from his subject's faces.
In what will be Brian's second showing at the gallery, the opening will feature an all new collection of original paintings, as well as special rare prints from the artist's own collection; poster giveaway and signing; live "Smoking Army" performance; screening of Brian's films along with his new short, and much more.

A town. A disturbing West. A repeated chime. A running flute motif.
(To soothe the incredibly strange journey?)
I began my exploration of Andasol via a Twin Peaks marathon and a nasty cold but three weeks later (cough syrup and owl references aside) the album itself seems an attempt to document the story of a mythology, prominent and haunting, which (on some level) should avoid any comparison to Badalamenti save for perhaps, "Heron Lake."
There have been discussions and debates about the origins of the tunes, a cryptic reference in the liner notes led me on a month long search for a (to be determined) Southwestern mystic, but then, I watched the documentary Jay contributed music to, Marwencol…and things became clear.

About this project
We're thrilled to announce that the Second Annual Kickstarter Film Festival will be held the evening of Saturday, July 9th in Brooklyn, New York, on the roof of the Old American Can Factory. We hope that you can join us!
The festival will feature 100 minutes of footage from 16 projects. The clips will range anywhere from two to ten minutes in length, and will include feature films, documentaries, shorts, project videos, animation, video art, and music videos.
There will be tasty snacks and other goodies from two amazing Kickstarter-funded eateries (Brooklyn's Colonie and Soho's What Happens When), beverages from City 'Lasses, and ice cream from Phinizy & Phebe. There will also be activities from Kickstarter creators, including lucid dreaming lessons from Oneironautics, pics with the Magnolia Photo Booth, and animated GIFs turned into physical zoetropes.
Seating for the festival is divided into two sections: rooftop and courtyard. Both are great! The venue features two screens, one for each section. The rooftop section is located on top of the Old American Can Factory and the courtyard section is just beneath it. The afterparty will be held in the courtyard.
Doors will open at 7pm. Films will begin promptly at 9pm.

It must be something about the waterfront. Those Monetesque ripples, ripe for reflecting and dizzying one up with shifts from screen to scene. Something about the water makes everything seem so much more romantic and, in general, that's what video festivals tend to need.

Young Daughters Cancer has returned
Some of you may remember my prayer request from last year for my daughter, mother of 2, ages 4 & 6. Diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. She finished her last chemo session a year ago and was put in remission (Praise GOD). She has been on a maintenance treatment to keep her in remission but just found out it is active again and is spreading. She will be starting chemo again next week. Please Pray this treatment will work and she will be in remission or better yet that God will HEAL her completely! .She has a very positive attitude and is a Christian. So we know her home will be in Glory.Also pray she will have minimal side affects if any from the Chemo.She has such a zest for life, and people just gravitate to her; even when she was little! Thank you for your time and many Blessings to you!!
