Cracking disc, Gromit!
CD-Roms: Wallace & Gromit
Monday 21 October 1996
This disc from BBC Multimedia contains everything a Wallace and Gromit fan would expect: techno-trousers screen savers, dog-bone wall paper, evil penguins and a fine variety of silly noises for your PC to make when going about its everyday business. I went originally for Wallace saying: "Well, that went about as well as could be expected," whenever I closed any application, but the novelty soon palled and I switched to a pleasant "baa" from Shaun the sheep, then settled for the lovely Gwendoline saying, "Goodbye, Chuck."
All the nerdy devices come in the Customise-O-Matic section, which is separate from the main game-playing environment. The latter is a little disappointing, with the environment - you choose a game by firing the porridge gun at it - more imaginatively prepared than the games.
There's a selection of quizzes and clips from the films which play very clearly in a large, high-definition window ("Windows are our speciality," says Wallace), and the games themselves, a Great Train Chase, in which you must lay portions of track at a hectic pace in order to let Gromit pursue the Penguin, and a Bungee Window Cleaning game, in which Gromit rubs windows clean with a sponge while the porridge gun dirties them again. Even with the added menace of Preston the dog and a moving water pail, however, this, like the Train Race, becomes more a question of practice and manual dexterity than decision-making and strategic thinking.
Summary: graphics, excellent; humour, good; games, average. It has enough to make it irresistible, although the attraction is liable to fade after a few weeks. Whenever the porridge machine has dirtied all the windows, Gromit hangs listlessly in front of the windows, upside down with his hands folded and the voice of Peter Sallis as Wallace announces: "The bounce has gone out of his bungee." Repeated playing of the game will probably lead to much the same sensation n

Hot Toys announces 'movie accurate' Little Groot
There have been quite a few excellent depictions — both official and unofficial — of dancing baby Groot from Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, and it was only a matter of time before Hot Toys decided to try its hand at one. The toy company, known for its incredibly detailed and accurate action figures from Marvel Studios films, has announced a Little Groot collectible is in the works, featuring three interchangeable head sculpts, special paint application, and movable arms and body to help replicate his dancing skills from the end of the blockbuster.
Mike Perkins homages 'Giant-Size X-Men' #1 for 'Star Wars' #1 Variant
Tampa, Florida retailer Heroes Haven is very excited for the release of Marvel's upcoming Star Wars #1 — so much so that it actually put together a trailer for a special store-exclusive variant cover for its Facebook page. Heroes Haven certainly has reason for excitement — its store-exclusive variant by Mike Perkins is a cool homage to one of Marvel's most well-known comics of all time: Giant-Size X-Men #1.
Jason Aaron and Tony Moore tell '6-Pack Stories' with Arcade Brewery
Arcade Brewery is taking a slightly different approach to comic book storytelling: the six-pack of beer.
Arcade's 6-Pack Stories series of beer debuts Wednesday with Festus Rotgut: Zombie Cowboy, a black wheat ale that features a story by Thor writer Jason Aaron and The Walking Dead co-creator Tony Moore that unfolds across all six bottles. The zombie Western beer is the first volume, which suggests more could be on the way. According to Arcade co-founder Lance Curran, the brewery wanted to tell a story first, then brew a beer to match.
Image's 'Tooth & Claw' gets a new title
Image Comics has announced that Tooth & Claw, the new series by Kurt Busiek, Benjamin Dewey, Jordie Bellaire and John Roshell of Comicraft, will undergo a title change starting with its second issue. Now called The Autumnlands: Tooth & Claw, the series will also receive a second printing of the debut issue with the new title on the front.
"The launch of our new series has gone beautifully," Busiek said in a statement. "We couldn't be happier. Well, maybe just a little happier. I'm still not sure how we managed to screw up the trademark search. But as it turns out, the title we thought was clear for use is in fact registered to someone else, which is embarrassing as all hell. Oops.
Stephen Colbert analyzes new 'Star Wars' lightsaber
The Colbert Report host and all-around expert on Star Wars Stephen Colbert returned to his popular Comedy Central show after a week away, and there was one pressing piece of news he made sure to touch upon: the debut of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer. But not just any aspect of the teaser.
"Check out this awesome lightsaber! It's a lightsaber with too many lightsabers on it," Colbert said during his show's opening segment. "It's a menage-a-sabre. Sadly, there are some stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herders out there who aren't thrilled with the new Jedi weapon. They say if these things are supposed to protect your hand like sword hilts, it wouldn't work, because the first time you crossed lightsabers, and it slid down to the bottom of the blade, your opponent would cut through the little side-sabers and cut off your hand."
Re-live '80s 'Secret Wars' action figure nostalgia with Gentle Giant's throwback toys
It seems like nostalgia has become a big part of collectibles lately — there are plenty of toys that are faithful recreations of playthings from the '70s and '80s on the market, and some demand a pretty high premium. It looks as though Marvel and Gentle Giant are jumping on that bandwagon full-bore with oversized recreations of Mattel's Secret Wars figures from the 1980s about to hit the market in 2015 — but it's going to set you back a few bucks.
Marvel.com has posted details about Gentle Giant's recreation of the Mattel toy line. Set at a price point of $90, the 12″ figures were recreated through digital scans of the originals, "roto injection molded and made of durable plastics" for a fully-articulated figure, which comes with a Secret Wars-inspired backer card with original photos and artwork.
Help Robot 6's Corey Blake
While you might not know Corey Blake personally, it's likely you've seen his work here on ROBOT 6. Corey has been a contributor to R6 for more than two years, writing pieces about subjects ranging from Comic-Con International to Bitstrips and many more through his column The Comics Observer.
You may also have noticed that Corey hasn't been around ROBOT 6 in a couple of weeks. That's because his wife Nahleen, diagnosed with both lupus and multiple sclerosis, is currently going through some serious medical issues, and is currently waiting to hear back from their insurance company to see if they will cover a very expensive — but very necessary — medication. ( Corey writes about it himself on his Twitter account.)
If you'd like to help Corey and Nahleen, they've set up an online fundraiser to help cover the cost of medical bills. They're close to reaching their proposed goal, but don't let that stop you from giving what you can.
The thoughts and good wishes of the entire CBR and ROBOT 6 editorial staff go out to Corey and Nahleen during this difficult time.
Brian Bendis to appear on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers'
Powers creator Brian Michael Bendis has announced he'll be a guest on NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers on Jan. 20 to discuss the upcoming television adaptation of Powers, as well as comics and other subjects.
"I'm a kid from Cleveland going on the same show where Harvey Pekar went to war with Letterman," Bendis wrote on his blog, noting that Late Night is his favorite talk show. "This is so crazy huge to me."
Tony Millionaire's 'Sock Monkey' gets the animated treatment
While it's a far cry from a full feature film, Tony Millionaire's Sock Monkey has gotten a teaser as to what a full-length film could look like courtesy of animator Matt Danner.
Danner and Millionaire are set to bring the character to a new children's story book for Sock Monkey: Into the Deep Woods, which is based on a film screenplay by Danner. According to Deadline, the story follows titular Sock Monkey Uncle Gabby as he and a group of other toys journey to save their human, Ann-Louise. The cinematic teaser was shot over the course of a day by Danner with a small crew using five "digi-nette" puppets. He and Millionaire are currently shopping the project to studios and financiers.
Project J-deite builds a real Transformer
Actual automated Transformers are becoming a reality.
Well, maybe not the quickly transforming CGI-miracle robots from the films or animated series, but Project J-diete is certainly bringing the car-to-robot and back again toys into the modern era. The project — a collaboration between BRAVE ROBOTICS Inc., Asratec Corp. and Tomy Co. Ltd. — seeks to advance robotics research by building actual transforming vehicles with a multi-step program to get to a full-scale robot. The first prototype measure 1.3 meters (4.3 feet) in height (robot mode) and width (vehicle mode) weighing 35 kg. The small vehicle/robot boasts a maximum walking speed of 1 km/hour and maximum "driving" speed of 10 km/hour.
Tony Harris reveals deluxe Disney prints for 'Pirates of the Caribbean,' 'Haunted Mansion' & more
If you've ever wondered how Ex Machina co-creator Tony Harris would take on some of the iconic rides at Disney parks, look no further — Harris has posted four deluxe prints done for the House of Mouse on Facebook, including his take on Pirates of the Caribbean, The Haunted Mansion and one of Maleficent of Sleeping Beauty and Maleficent fame.
'MAD' issues warning about DC's 'Harley Quinn Annual' #1
It's pretty widely known by now that one of the smells in the special rub-and-sniff Harley Quinn Annual #1 is of a less-than-legal, but incredibly distinctive, drug. As a result — even at New York Comic Con 2014 — there have been many jokes about the results of rubbing and smelling the marijuana-scented section of the comic.
Hilariously, through its MAD Magazine website, DC Comics has released an "important message from the DC Comics department of ethical reading," which continues the running gag of the drug's distinctive smell — "something called Cannibisylocibe 7-A" — and the possible side effects.
Become a hops & barley hero with these Justice League-inspired beer labels
If there's an Earth in the DC Multiverse where the Justice League was a brewery instead of a superhero team, one graphic designer has figured out what those beers would look like.
A few months back, AdWeek posted six beer labels designed by graphic designer Marco Rizzetto that are based on seven members of the premiere superhero team of the DC Universe. The different label designs by "Justice League Brewery" include the Batman-inspired "The Dark Beer" dark ale beer; the Superman-based "Super Strong Beer" strong pale lager; the Wonder Woman-homage "The Wonder Beer" premium american lager and much more. Even the Wonder Twins got a shout out with "Twins Framboise," a lambic framboise. Unfortunately, there's no "Captain Cold One."
Bendis Shaving Quote of the Day | Bendis on the Superiority of Gillette Pro Power
"I use the Gillette Pro power and skintimate shaving cream. yes, this is woman's shaving cream but as I learned many years ago from listening to tiny Tim of the Howard Stern show, you heard me :-), that most women's cosmetic products are far superior to the ones that they sell men. they are softer and they smell better.
"And that's why no skin bumps or razor burn for me.
"I often use strawberry scented and I'm telling you that at least three times a week a woman says: your head smells very good. if I was single, I know that this is a home run move I've been married for 18 years and I know my head smell has kept my marriage happy
"The new Gillette razor system that moves with the contour of your face is a disaster. do not buy it. it doesn't work.
"If this isn't quote of the day on robot six I'm going to be very angry "
– Brian Michael Bendis, responding to a Tumblr question about shaving his head
Quote of the Day | Brian Michael Bendis on cosplay
"I think cosplay and the growing social aspects of the convention scene are borderline magical. I think it's fantastic.
"My perspective is a little different than most because I take so much time in between conventions and when I'm there I'm working… but watching from behind by signing table and seeing people becoming friends online or just having a great time expressing themselves through costume and just sharing their love of whatever they love is amazing. My feeling is if you are a creator and your book or art or whatever isn't selling that is on you. And I'm talking about myself here as well. If something didn't connect with an audience, that's my problem, that's not the culture's problem.
"The culture shifts very quickly. Quicker than it ever has before. Most of the time I think for the better. But I think if you are trying to sell something to someone at a convention or anywhere you better take a good look at yourself and what you're selling and how much you are selling it for. You can't just show up at your table and drop your portfolio and sit back and wish of the sea to part. (which I see a lot of people doing) You have to have work out there, that is vital. You have to let people know what you have that is special and worth their time."
– Brian Michael Bendis, responding to a question about the effect of cosplay on comic conventions

VideoBlocks, a 'Shutterstock for the masses,' expands into music
- Bill Flook
- Staff Reporter- Washington Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
VideoBlocks, a "Shutterstock for the masses" that offers subscription-based libraries of stock video and images without complex licensing agreements, is now looking to do the same for music. The Reston company on Thursday announced the launch of AudioBlocks, a $99-per-year service that gives users access to some 100,000 royalty-free songs, sound effects and jingles.
The company invested an initial $1 million to acquire the content, said CEO Joel Holland.
Like VideoBlocks' eponymous video clip service and its stock image site, GraphicStock, AudioBlocks is aimed at the individual professionals, small teams, hobbyists, enthusiasts, "basically this new surging group of content creators," as Holland describes it.
"The whole project started from polling our customers and saying, 'hey, we want to continue democratizing creative content for you guys, what do you think would be next, what are we missing?'" Holland said. "And the resounding answer was music. The answer was: music is to video as filters are to photos, it's the easiest way to make your project better."
(Full disclosure: The Washington Business Journal uses VideoBlocks video content for its own productions.)
With the launch, VideoBlocks follows competitors Shutterstock and Getty Images into music offerings. And like VideoBlocks, both Getty and Shutterstock are also looking to unwind the complex rules for usage.
"We struck a balance between quality and ease of use," Wyatt Jenkins, Shutterstock's vice president of product, told the New York Business Journal's Ben Fischer earlier this month. "We believe we've really hit a sweet spot."

As the line between editorial and advertorial continues to blur, so does the public's confidence in content from publications versus brands, as evidenced by new industry research that explores this topic-with some unexpected results. A new study by Vibrant shows that only two% more of consumers trust content from publications (35%) than from brands (33%); and yet, there are more consumers who distrust content from publications (18%) than there are who distrust content from brands (15.5%). Additionally, the number of consumers that distrust content from media titles they know (12%) is double the number who distrust content from brands that they know (6%).

WSJ: Scott Walker's Campaign Is Target Of Extensive Investigation
10th Anniversary Fundraiser:
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's campaign office and about 30 conservative groups have been subpoenaed by a special prosecutor, and the homes of at least three people connected to the campaign have been raided, according to The Wall Street Journal. Among the groups subpoenaed were the Wisconsin Club for Growth; Karl Rove's American Crossroads; the Republican Governors Association; and the state's largest business lobbying group, Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce. The subpoenas came out of a secret John Doe investigation of Walker's campaign and allies.
"Unmentioned in the editorial is that R.J. Johnson is an adviser to both Walker's campaign and the Wisconsin Club for Growth.
The newspaper said the subpoenas sought records and fundraising information and were related to the 2011 and 2012 recall efforts against the Republican governor and state senators.
The subpoenas come out of a second, secret John Doe investigation of Walker aides or allies. The first investigation was closed in February, but the second one is ongoing. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel first reported on both investigations.
John Doe probes give prosecutors the power to compel people to testify and bar them from speaking about their involvement in the investigations. The Wall Street Journal editorial page reported O'Keefe was willing to discuss his subpoena, saying he "realizes the personal risk but wants the public to know what is going on."
While the WSJ falls all over itself trying to pass this off as a partisan political vendetta, what they don't say is that the John Doe prosecutor, Francis Schmitz, is no partisan Democrat:
"In choosing Schmitz, officials may be hoping to avoid the charges of partisanship that were leveled against Chisholm, a Democrat, for his office's lengthy probe of the Republican governor's former associates. It does not appear that Schmitz or Kluka signed the recall petitions.
"Fran makes all the sense in the world," said one veteran Milwaukee attorney.
Schmitz is a highly regarded career prosecutor who was one of three finalists recommended to then-President George W. Bush for the U.S. attorney's post in 2001."
The WSJ then actually spells out exactly what they might be afraid of:
"The subpoenas don't spell out a specific allegation, but the demands suggest the government may be pursuing a theory of illegal campaign coordination by independent groups during the recall elections. If prosecutors are pursuing a theory that independent conservative groups coordinated with candidate campaigns during the recall, their goal may be to transform the independent expenditures into candidate committees after the fact, requiring revision of campaign-finance disclosures and possible criminal charges."
"Conservative groups" and "criminal charges" are quite possibly my two favorite phrases to read lumped together in one paragraph.

High winds knock down town's unfinished fire station
Before high winds caused the fire station to collapse, the $600,000 project was expected to be completed by March. (Alvin McNeill)
LEMPSTER - The town's new fire station under construction on Route 10 collapsed Friday.
Selectman Everett Thurber said it appears high winds knocked down the walls of the unfinished structure just after noon.
"We had a catastrophe," Thurber said. "The trusses and the walls came down, so it's quite flat."
Resident Alvin McNeill said he got a call from a neighbor this afternoon that the building had come down.
"I just happen to know we went by the building this morning and it was there. Then we came back around 11 a.m. and it was still there and then I got a call at 1 p.m. and was told the building had collapsed," McNeill said.
He went back to look and take photos. "All the roof trusses came down. The walls came down. It just totally collapsed," he said.
Town meeting this spring approved the $600,000 project to replace a 75-year-old station.
The new fire station has been planned by the town for the past five to six years, Thurber said.
LaValley Building Supply was contracted by the town to oversee the project and sub-contracted the project out, Thurber said.
No one was on the building site Friday, so no one was injured, he said. Thurber said he was on site Thursday and spoke to the project manager who was busy ensuring the structure would be prepared if the predicted high winds came Friday.
"We don't have any idea what the winds were, but they estimated they were up to 50 miles per hour and that's what's been reported around the state," Thurber said.
He said the project is insured, so the setback will cost the project time but not money.
He had hoped the new fire station would be completed by March.
"But I don't think that's going to happen now," he said. "We keep running into little bumps in the road like this one.

Q-C hospitals step up mergers and acquisitions
Lincoln and some others in Mercer County think the alliance is best for the community. Stuart Coulter, for example, appreciates the fact that his doctor with the Genesis Heart Institute in Davenport is about an hour closer to his residence in Joy than a similar hospital facility in Peoria, Ill.
Before reaching its arrangement with Genesis, Mercer County had one from 2004 to '06 with Quorum Health Resources of Brentwood, Tenn. Quorum provides management, consulting and educational services to its members. Most of Mercer County's patients in need of a high level of care were referred to Peoria for treatment at that time.
The Genesis-Mercer County Hospital pact is not the only example of a large Quad-City hospital system aligning with a smaller hospital in the outlying region.

Wacky fun!
We had a great time with good weather and great service! The ship was lovely with good food.
Our waiter and assistant waiter went out of their way with our large group of twelve!
Cabin was average but nice,clean. Could see between the lifeboats when coming into port.
Loved the closet area and lots of hangers and place to store things and luggage.
We had a wonderful time with tubing on the river in Dominica. We booked independently with a company called Wacky Rollers. They were great! So helpful, wore helmets and life jackets which made you feel safe. We also had five wonderful strong young guides with our group of ten. So ratio of 1 to 2!they were very polite and a lot of fun, they put us older folks to ease by joking around but also were right by your side if you needed help or floated off near rocks. They would get to you and get you back in the mainstream!
Loves the beaches - Magean's Bay in Saint Thomas and Aruba beach.
Took an More interesting tour in Grenada and saw the salt flats and pink flamingos.
We did not do many ship activities but did go to the nightly entertainment which was good but not outstanding like on other cruises.
Yes would definitely go again on this cruise and ship! Less

Alzheimer's Patch Could Replace Pills
The first patch designed to deliver a widely used Alzheimer's medication via the skin appears to minimize side effects while being easy to use, Swedish researchers say. Full Story
1 - 4 of 4 Comments Last updated Sep 15, 2011
#1 Aug 22, 2006
how can I purchase?
#2 Jul 18, 2008
This patch (the rivastigmine patch) will not be replacing pills anytime soon. The drug itself isn't that widely-used--it's the least-used of the three cholinesterase inhibitors, because of its higher risk of adverse effects. The patch is a little less likely to have those adverse effects, but it appears (from the only controlled trial yet published) to have around half the cognitive efficacy of other treatments (the company claims it worked just as well as "high-dose" rivastigmine capsules, but read closely--the study allowed dose reductions for tolerability, they weren't on the "full" dose of 12 mg daily, more like 9 mg daily of the pill), and it's much less convenient (the patch must be replaced daily, and you must be careful not to place the new patch in a spot where there has been a patch in the previous several days). Since rivastigmine doesn't work any better than donepezil or galantamine, there's no rationale to try urgently to get people on rivastigmine. I take care of hundreds of patients with Alzheimer disease, and I can just about guarantee that if the patient can't at least get a pill into their mouth (with the ODT formulation of Aricept (donepezil) the pill dissolves in the mouth, so that they don't even have to swallow), they don't need to be on treatment.
It's just a big marketing ploy.
#3 Sep 22, 2009
the Patch is a great product..it has very few to none drug to drug interactions unlike donepezil and galantamine...and does not pass through through the liver....overall a safe and effective product when you think of how many elderly patients are on other medications...by the way donepezil 5mg and 10gm are not clinically significant....also a marketing ploy

More than 55,000 Queenslanders have been vaccinated against swine flu so far at free weekend clinics being held at high schools around the state.
More than 40 Queenslanders died in the first wave of the H1N1 virus last year, and Queensland Health (QH) says the immunisation program will reduce the impact when swine flu strikes again.
QH chief health officer Jeannette Young says she is pleased with the take-up, and clinics will run until the end of the school term.
"Anyone who goes along who is part of the child's family can certainly be vaccinated and anyone from the general community who wants to can certainly go along to one of the clinics," she said.
"The children have to be over the age of six months."

The coal company said it will use $250 million to repay the money it borrowed through credit facilities. The remaining $150 million will be used for "general corporate purposes."
In the wake of a fourth quarter net loss, Walter has recently announced a plan to trim assets and costs to put itself in a better position to take advantage of the nation's economic recovery.
The company's stock price took a tumble earlier this week, but was at $29.60 at 10:35 a.m. today, up 4.04 percent from opening, according to Google Finance.

Election Commission ordered to prepare revised lists of voters
The Supreme Court has ordered the Election Commission (EC) to prepare revised lists of voters within 30 days and ensure those left out for not having computerised ID cards are enrolled.
Islamabad: The Supreme Court has ordered the Election Commission (EC) to prepare revised lists of voters within 30 days and ensure those left out for not having computerised ID cards are enrolled.
The court passed the order yesterday while hearing a petition filed by Pakistan People's Party chairperson and former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, who has contended around 30 million eligible voters were excluded from the electoral rolls.
During the hearing the EC Secretary Kanwar Dilshad requested a 140-day period be allowed for preparing revised lists.
But the court disagreed and observed such a long period could be used as an excuse for postponing the general election.
The head of the National Database Registration Authority, which issues the cards, and relevant officials from four provinces were present at the hearing.
Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry observed the EC had the lists used in the 2002 general election and said these should be updated.
Chaudhry added correct voter lists were essential for democracy and said no eligible voter should be denied franchise.
The petitioner's counsel, senator Latif Khosa, told the court that in 2002 a big number of eligible voters were not registered.
He pointed out those who were 14-years-old at the time had now attained the voting age. Therefore some 30 million people faced the prospect of losing their right to vote.
By not registering these people on the lists a "conspiracy" was being hatched to deny them franchise, the counsel alleged.

Canon PowerShot A20 Specifications
- click for pop-up help
This measuring system is a leftover from the days of video TUBES and has nothing to do with the surface area of the chip in a direct sense. The Edmund Scientific Optics catalog has a sidebar that completely backs up the idea.
For instance, a "one inch" chip has a 16mm diagonal sensor array. A "one half inch" chip has an array of only 8mm in the diagonal. This means that the 1/1.8 = 0.555 inch measurement means NOTHING about the sensor array size. Unless they have changed the entire measurement system just for this chip, the actual sensor patch is 11% larger than the 8mm of a 1/2 chip or 8.88mm in diagonal.

Redpath named Sale head coach
ESPN Staff
October 31, 2012
Former Sharks director of rugby Bryan Redpath has accepted a role as the Premiership side's head coach © Getty Images
Sale Sharks have named Bryan Redpath as their head coach just a day after they confirmed he had been removed from his position as director of rugby.
Redpath's future at the club was in doubt when he was relieved of his post on Monday by following a disastrous start to the Premiership season that has seen the Sharks suffer seven straight defeats and notch just two bonus points. Chief executive Steve Diamond assumed responsibility for the first team but the club denied Redpath had been dismissed.
Initial reports suggested the Scot had been offered the role of backs coach but it has now been confirmed he has accepted the role of head coach with the club set to honour the four-year contract he signed when he made a high-profile switch from Premiership rivals Gloucester.
Diamond will remain in charge of the side for the remainder of the season but will work alongside Redpath, club owner Brian Kennedy, ex-Sale boss and former New Zealand coach John Mitchell and businessman and co-owner Ian Blackhurst on a newly-formed rugby strategy management board that "will meet regularly to devise and review the long term rugby strategy."
In a statement, Kennedy stressed the club's desire to stop the rot. "The priority of all the management within Sale Sharks is to get back to winning ways and secure our position in the Premiership," he said. "We believe we have the playing and coaching talent and structure to achieve this. Beyond this we must plan medium and long term to compete at the top of the game and this will be the remit of the strategy board."
Diamond explained the decision to restructure the coaching team yesterday, saying: "The situation is that after a lot of poor results we have asked Bryan just to take a little bit of time out, a couple of days off to reconsider what we are doing and how we restructure our rugby department.
"We want him to be involved moving forward. He is contracted for a long time after making a big move from Gloucester and we want him to be involved. We just need to get the balance of that right, and it clearly isn't right (judging) by our results, so we just want to change it around a little bit to make sure we get the most out of our resources in the coaching - myself, Bryan and John Mitchell."

British Report: Not Letting Sex Criminals Adopt Children Is Discriminatory
Britain provides yet another example of why the last people you would want advising lawmakers are pointy-headed liberal establishment "experts":
The government could face legal action if it continues to ban sex offenders from working with children, according to research published today.
A report by a family law expert argues that some sex offenders should be allowed to adopt or foster children, and claims that the current blanket ban is discriminatory.
"Sex offenders shouldn't all be tarred with the same brush," said Helen Reece at the London School of Economics, who wrote the report.
If we can have Muslims on the Homeland Security Advisory Council, why can't the British have sex criminals working with and adopting children? The important thing is not to tar all fiends with the same brush.
Sex offenders have been prohibited from working with, and adopting, children since 2006, when measures were put in place to prevent a recurrence of the murder of schoolgirls Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells by school caretaker Ian Huntley in Soham.
But raped and murdered children are a small price to pay for advancing the cause of political correctness.

Ah readers, the sad sad pain of having a holy grail product discontinued on you. I was cleaning out makeup drawers the other day and came across my beloved Bonne Bell Lip Lites in Sugared Plum. No, it isn't coolest, classiest product for a 30-something in the industry to be attached to, but damn it, 15 years later I still haven't found a color quite as perfect. Yeah, I strayed into the nude lip. Frankly, that or a pale pink is my go-to. But when you're a redhead in need of a bold lip for night, red just doesn't cut it (and seriously Ipsy, if you send me one more cherry red lipstick, imma lose my shit). That beautiful silvery shiny plum was just right. And most importantly, it didn't wear down to a horrible magenta berry stain late in the night. *soft weeping tear*
So here's to fruitful ebay searches and finding a cache of your favorite product in the dark corners of an online retailer (did you know you can still buy lemon Jolly Ranchers online?!) And I ask, where do you all score your discontinued faves?

Preschools...is it worth it?
Started by epl0822 , Jan 29 2013 03:00 PM
6 replies to this topic
Posted 29 January 2013 - 03:00 PM
Being a parenting forum I'm sure this topic has been raised before so forgive me if this is redundant.
DS was offered a spot at a preschool. I was very surprised as I live in an area where it's notoriously difficult to get childcare and he's "only" been on the waitlist for six months. I originally thought to enrol him because he's an only child and I don't want him to get bored. We've moved to a new area and I don't know a lot of mums here. So far I've been taking him out almost every day, fortunately there are a lot of community based toddler activities around here (story time, music groups, playgroups etc) and he seems pretty good with it.
After being offered a place much earlier than expected (I didn't think he'd get in until 2014 term 1 at the earliest) I am starting to doubt whether I should send him now. It is going to cost $100/week. While we can afford that without starving, it's still a significant amount of money to us, a single income family. I have no doubt DS would love making friends and attending a preschool but I wonder, can I offer him stimulation and social connections without preschool? Or is there something special about preschools that will benefit him a lot more than going to playgroups and library story times?
Posted 29 January 2013 - 03:04 PM
Have you checked if you're eligible for childcare rebate?
Posted 29 January 2013 - 03:05 PM
I think it helps in the transition to school, in learning to be away from you and relate to other adults. There are also some great early learning opportunities in a good preschool program. It's not mandatory, but I think quite useful in the year before school at least.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 03:11 PM
I think it depends on the child and how socialised they are otherwise.
DD8yrs was pretty well socialised before going to school and didn't start until she was 5.5yrs. She couldn't read very well when she started, but in kindergarten won an award for numeracy, then last year in year 2 she won an award for literacy and for numeracy. So school was the ideal situation for her, and I don't think preschool would have made a difference.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 03:17 PM
Am I correct in deducing that this is for 2 years before school rather than the year before?
I'd hold out till 2014 tbh, if that's his year before school. I don't think he needs to transition in for 2 years.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 03:31 PM
My son has just started today and it will be costing us about $80 a week. This is his year before school. I enrolled him as I thought he would benefit from being with other kids and in a school type environment. Although I could do more socialising at home and more activities I just wouldn't be able to match what they can offer him there.
I would only send him the year before school though.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 03:42 PM
DD starts school next year. She attended preschool one day per week last year and will attend 3 days this year.
Back when i was her age, i attended preschool in the same manner as well. DD absolutely loves preschool and the social interaction she has.
I pay $65 per day before rebates
