You're at: Home > Shop > Shop by Brand > Doctor Who (Sold Out) > Industrial Welding Mask
Two millennia from now, a crippled spacecraft hurtles toward certain destruction in the roiling inferno of a star. Seeming bent on destroying the ship, a mysterious alien presence is possessing members of the crew, hiding its searing power behind the heat-shielded visors of their industrial welding masks. As the clock ticks down, Martha and the Doctor have just 42 minutes to unravel the mystery to save the mining ship, themselves and everyone else onboard.
The Industrial Welding Mask is made from cast metal and comes with a polystone display stand. It was created by Weta model maker and Doctor Who fan, David Tremont.
Dimensions above include display stand.
It's the third in a series of six helmets from Doctor Who, available from the Weta website and at selected shows.
To keep up to date with Weta's Doctor Who range:
... loyal to the original design in every way. From the visor controls down to the respirators. There is phenomenally intricate detailing which together with the weight of the mask itself, adds further to the overall value for money."

I only bought this and the Sycorax helmet as they were on offer, and because I was getting the others anyway, and it is my least favourite of all the Dr Who helmets. The detail of this helmet is really good, with all the vents, filters, flanges and what-not. The paint job is less well done that in the photos, more matt and less metallic looking. For this reason, apart from weight and strength, the piece does not gain anything in being made from metal, as it is all painted, even though it should suit being made of metal. It is a very nice sculpt by Dave Tremont of Dr Grordbort's fame, let down slightly by a disappointing paint job. It also doesn't sit on the stand very well, with the nose stopping the helmet from sitting level, and both the nose and the inside of the helmet are getting scratched. Worth getting for completists, or at a reduced price. Hide.

I am in a slump.
I have no energy, no time, and I have accomplished nothing.
I seriously have no idea what I have spent this week doing.
I haven't blogged much.
I have only been on Facebook and Twitter via cell phone, so I haven't sat in front of my computer all day.
My house is a disaster.
The laundry isn't done.
We haven't gone anywhere.
Or done anything.
No crafts.
No baking.
The week has slipped away and I have no idea how.
I am so very tired.
From nothing.
Oh, and I've gained 5 lbs since Saturday.
I have spent my week eating candy bars.
Walking from room to room telling the kids what to do or what not to do while eating junk food.
I can't believe I am just now realizing it.
Time to put the candy away so that I can have a fabulous week next week.
I'm sorry I don't have my act together right now.
Hopefully I will be back on track soon.
Until then, you can all do a happy dance for The Girl.
She had her second parent/teacher conference on Monday and brought home another perfect report card.
Her teachers said she is a perfectionist who is excelling in mathematics.
The Girl rocks my world.
What a proud mommy I am.
A big fat proud mommy.
Have a wonderful day, folks.

No. 20 Red Raiders Travel To Oklahoma For Pivotal Big 12 Matches
Rafael Garcia and the Red Raiders will look to stay atop the Big 12 standings this weekend.
April 12, 2012
STILLWATER, Okla. - No. 20 Texas Tech's season has reached a pivotal point in the season.
The Red Raiders (13-6, 2-0 Big 12) are tied for first in the Big 12 Conference men's tennis standings, but to stay atop the conference standings Texas Tech will have to get past Oklahoma State and No. 13 Oklahoma this weekend.
"This is a big weekend for us," said Red Raider head coach Tim Siegel. "Oklahoma State has been ranked for most of the season and is a good program. I tell our guys never to look past the next match, but Oklahoma is someone we are very familiar with and we look forward to the matchup."
On Friday, Texas Tech will take on Oklahoma State (7-10, 0-2) at 2 p.m. at the DeBois Tennis Complex. The Cowboys are 7-10 this season and 0-2 in conference play. OSU has lost three straight.
The Red Raiders have been led this spring by a trio of seniors - No. 45 Gonzalo Escobar and No. 98 Raony Carvalho and Rafael Garcia. Escobar is 12-7 this spring, while Carvalho is 12-4 and Garcia is 12-5.
Escobar and Carvalho have teamed to go 8-0 in doubles and earn a No. 22 national ranking.
Oklahoma State is paced by No. 100 Vlad Bondarenko in singles, who is 7-5 dual matches and 1-1 league play. The senior has beaten two ranked opponents - No. 29 Alexis Klegou of Texas A&M and No. 83 Japie De Klerk of Tulsa - in his past three matches.
Freshman Chris Haworth leads the team in singles victories, boasting a 12-4 record on the year, while senior Eric West is 11-3 this season.
Fans can follow the action between Texas Tech and Oklahoma State through live scoring at http://www.okstate.com/livestats/m-tennis/xlive.htm.
On Sunday, the Red Raiders will then travel to Norman, where they will have a showdown with Big 12 preseason favorite No. 13 Oklahoma (13-3, 2-0 Big 12) at the Headington Family Tennis Center at 1 p.m.
The Sooners are paced by four nationally-ranked players - No. 11 Costin Paval, No. 84 Guillermo Alcorta, No. 101 Dane Webb and No. 106 Peerakit Siributwong.
Paval and Webb are ranked eighth in doubles, while Tsvetan Mihov and Siributwong are 58th nationally.
Fans can follow the match between Texas Tech and Oklahoma through live scoring at http://www.soonersports.com/sports/m-tennis/livescoring.html.
If the Red Raiders pull off a sweep in the Sooner State this weekend, they will secure a share of the Big 12 title and earn the No. 1 seed in the Big 12 Championships in College Station, Texas.

The era of the album is dying in the world of hip hop. These days, more and more artists are focusing on releasing as many free singles and mixtapes as possible. So its very rare for a group to spend almost four years crafting and perfecting their debut album. That doesn't mean the League Of Extraordinary G'z have gone four years without releasing new music: they have released five full-length mixtapes, an EP with Shane Eli, and countless singles. But the one thing that remained constant was they were always working on their debut album, #LEAGUESHIT.
When asked why they decided to release an album in this climate of declining sales and increased illegal downloading, League member Lowkey says "we felt like we owed it to our fans who've been with us for the past few years to give them an actual album full of dope original music. We did our share of mixtapes too, we did 3 Concealed Weapons, 2 Loftin In Austin, and the Plug EP with Shane Eli. But it was just time to take that next step and show people that we're not just 'mixtape rappers'. We can actually put together a solid original full-length project that doesn't sound like a jumbled mess cuz there's so many of us. I think people are gonna trip out when they hear it."
Group member Greezo describes the four-year recording process by saying "It was a journey. When we first started recording, the 3 different groups were still learning how this league shit might work. Going on 5 tours helped strengthen our bond. Losing Esbe (founding member Esbe Da 6th St. Bully passed away on October 14th, 2011) unfortunately was the fire under our ass in which we knew we had to finish the album and release it. Needless to say its been a long journey." But yesterday, that journey ultimately came to an end with the release of the album on iTunes and LOEGz.com.
Tune into Tha Fixx Radio on SXSWfm today at 12pm, 6pm, & midnight Central to hear a couple of the album's best tracks such as "I'm Alive" featuring Grupo Fantasma and "Still Bigger" with Dead Prez. Listen to SXSWfm on your smartphone or desktop by clicking here.

DONE, well, sort of.
I tweeked our rear Ultegra R603 crank alignment to allow the timing ring enough space + mud gap (more on this below) from the chainstay. However, our front Ultegra R601 crank timing alignment seems to be somewhere either left or right of the rear timing ring no matter which orientation (in or out), so I ended up with the front timing ring on the outside and then shifting the EBB a couple mm inward to achieve a close alignment with the rear ring. Having the rear timing ring mounted on the inside of the spider is probably the more important of the two, so mission accomplished there.
Initial ride with the rear ring on the inner side was last weekend when road conditions were wet and very gritty. With only 1mm or so of chainstay clearance, accumulated muck on the chainstay was rubbing the side of the belt. Having now increased the clearance to +2mm I'm hoping that will be sufficient to avoid problems in mucky conditions. Should we encounter that problem again, stoker has been instructed to squirt the chainstay with water. Also, having framesaver tape at that spot proved very worthwhile.
New observation about chainring bolts and no recesses in the CDX rings:
The Ultegra chainring bolts supplied have a backing nut depth of only 4mm, while the CDX ring + Ultegra spider totals 7mm thick. As the CDX rings do not have a bolt head recess, the rings tend to float on the spider because the ring holes are much bigger than the bolt thread width and the nut is not long enough to reach through and hold the ring in place. If these rings had head recesses, that would help hold the rings in place, but without the recess the rings move around a lot until you tighten the bolts. With the rings floating around, trying to get them perfectly centered is a real hassle.
1) Flip the bolt/nut around so the nut (now on the outside) will hold the ring in a centered position (or if you mount the ring on the inside you can leave the bolt/nut in the normal orientation)
2) use longer chainring nuts. ie: for the Ultegra spiders, 5-6mm nuts in normal orientation will reach the timing ring and hold it in place.
Your setup may vary. My comments above are based on experience with the Ultegra R601/603 cranks.

Champion marathoner Bill Rodgers to appear at
Sept. 10 U-M fundraiser run/walk for diabetes research
Race for Reason 5K event will help fund research on diabetic nerve damage
ANN ARBOR, MI – The fight against diabetes is a marathon struggle to understand and prevent damage caused by high blood sugar. Nearly 21 million Americans have diabetes, and all of them face serious long-term health problems unless better treatment and prevention strategies are found.
On Sunday, Sept. 10 in Ann Arbor, a renowned marathon runner will join the marathon fight against diabetes, by acting as master of ceremonies for the U-M's fourth annual Race for Reason. The five-kilometer walk and run will raise money for University of Michigan diabetes research.
Bill Rodgers, a four-time winner of both the New York City and Boston marathons, 1976 Olympian and member of the U.S. Track & Field Hall of Fame, will be U-M's special guest for the 5K event. Rodgers will run with participants, and be available after the race to sign copies of his book, "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Running."
The event will begin at 7:30 a.m. with registration and check-in on the Ingalls Mall at the heart of the U-M campus, near the Burton Tower and Michigan League. The run and walk will start at 9 a.m., on a course that will wind through the beautiful woods and gardens of the U-M Nichols Arboretum. Free T-shirts and refreshments will be available for all participants, and prizes will be given for the top finishers.
Registration for the Race for Reason is $15 for adults, $10 for children age 12 and under. Additional donations by participants or their supporters are also welcome. Advance registration is suggested; more information and an online registration form are available at www.med.umich.edu/pfund/walk.htm. Prospective participants may also e-mail email@example.com or call 734-615-8933 with questions.
The event will help raise money and awareness for the U-M's Program for Neurology Research & Discovery, the new name for the former Program for Understanding Neurological Diseases. Led by neurologist Eva Feldman, M.D., Ph.D., the program's dozens of scientists and medical researchers study many diseases that affect nerve cells in the body and brain.
One of the program's main goals is to find ways to prevent or treat nerve damage in the legs, hands and body caused by diabetes. This condition, called diabetic neuropathy, affects half of all people with diabetes and can lead to disability and amputation.
Rodgers, who watched a family member struggle with diabetes, has worked before to raise awareness and funds for diabetes, including several American Diabetes Association events.

The Equity Listing Agreement mandates listed companies to make periodic and event based disclosures on the stock exchange platform for any information which may have bearing on the performance or operations of the company. Sebi has asked all stock exchanges, which function as front-end regulators in the securities market, to beef up their monitoring to ensure greater compliance.

Once upon a moon I wrote scathingly of the twat-in-blue-shirt voter we have lost to flimsy Tory tax "policy", and was quite rightly corrected by Rob Knight to the tune that it might actually be (whisper it) not entirely twat-in-blue-shirt's fault that he doesn't know what our tax policy is. It's the old story: we've got the policy, we just don't got da message.
I recall blogging sunnily on the subject of message back in the primaeval early history of the People's Republic, and then I stuck the whole subject of communications in the huge box room in my head with the sign on the door saying "More reading required". More reading is generally the answer to everything in the People's Republic (except the easy, obvious, boring stuff like earning a living, forming functional relationships with other human beings and all that other window-dressing jazz). Well, I haven't done any more reading, but I have done some more talking. Specifically, on the comments thread following Nick Clegg's Guardian piece yesterday. The exchange, shorn of interspersing madness, was as follows. I appear in the guise of a blue porcupine:
blueporcupine November 22, 2007 8:36 PM
Ryan – that tax outline is party policy, as approved by the membership at conference in September. The policy documents (if you've got the stomach for it!) are on the party website. It's moved as far forward as it's ever going to move without y'all vote for us
I don't know of any Liberal Democrat not implacably and vocally opposed to ID cards. Nick Clegg has said that if it comes to it he'll personally refuse to register and go to court if necessary.
I didn't get the final ringing endorsement I was after. I'd like to think that RyanBerks has withdrawn to some mountain retreat with a year's supply of rice and a copy of Fairer, Simpler, Greener to reflect on his political allegiance, but actually I'm sure he has just been distracted by a thing. Howsobeit, a tiny, shuffling millimetre of progress was clearly made. Winning hearts and minds, one blood vessel and nerve cell at a time, style of thing (hey, it's as good as any other slogan).
And all this gives me pause for thought, because there are always a goodly proportion of comments attached to these broad spectrum appeal pieces that make a similar plea to RyanBerks' "stop being so bland". Rather than trying to evolve one single, simple message for allcomers (which a prospective party leader writing on Comment is Free must perforce do), we should be true to our localist nature and evolve different versions of the same message to answer the questions posed by difference audiences. My uber-rational, dry exposition clearly had some impact in this case, but wouldn't in all.
Of course, you can't manufacture a range of these messages easily without an agreed central repository of message-fodder, and therefore I commend you with renewed enthusiasm to the Lib Dem Voice Wiki project, and shall even be commending myself to it just as soon as I understand what it is.

As I began this post I was trying to think of the last time I shared a tofu scramble recipe. I think, amazingly, that it was my tofu tahini scramble, which is without a doubt one of my all time favorite CR recipes. But how is it that two years have passed since I shared a variation of this most cherished vegan staple recipe?
I think the answer is that tofu scramble is one of those dishes that's so basic, so intuitive, that I rarely ever measure or document what I do when I make it any more. And sometimes these are the sorts of recipes that slide beneath a blogger's radar, because we're all jazzed up about new things we've tried. But I know that you guys love tried-and-true recipes as well as novel ones. So when I whipped up this new tofu scramble a few days ago, I was immediately excited to share it.
The fundamentals of a tofu scramble, at least as I enjoy them, are as follows:
- extra firm tofu (pressed for even 10 minutes if possible)
- nutritional yeast
- veggies (whatever you have in your fridge or freezer)
- turmeric (for a lovely yellow shade and anti-inflammatory benefits)
After this, you can really play around and be creative. I've used curry in my tofu scramble. I've used sesame oil and a splash of mirin for an Asian twist, and I've used lemon and oregano for a more Mediterranean flavor. It's really up to you. Treat your tofu scramble as you would a stir fry: a template that you can adapt with the seasons, your current inventory of produce and seasonings, and your mood.
This particular scramble came into being at the very end of my week's worth of groceries. I didn't have much fresh produce left, but I did have a zucchini. And I also remembered that I had a box of frozen, chopped spinach in my freezer. Chopped spinach is a great freezer staple: once you defrost it, it's incredibly easy to mix it into stir fries, skillets, and grain dishes.
- 2 teaspoons coconut or olive oil
- 2 cups zucchini, quartered and sliced into ¼ inch thick pieces
- 1 14-16 oz. block of extra firm tofu, pressed for as long as you have time for (a few hours is ideal, but 15 minutes is fine. For instructions on pressing tofu, check out this post)
- 1 10 oz. box frozen, chopped spinach, thawed and pressed through a colander to remove excess liquid (or 3 cups fresh, finely chopped spinach)
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 3-4 tablespoons nutritional yeast (to taste)
- ½ teaspoon turmeric (more if you prefer)
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
- 1. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium flame. Add the oil and saute the zucchini until it's soft and cooked through (about 4-5 minutes).
- 2. While the zucchini cooks, crumble the tofu with your hands, so that there are still some visible pieces, but it's broken up quite thoroughly. Mix in the frozen, chopped spinach.
- 3. When the zucchini is ready, add the tofu and spinach to the skillet, along with the tahini, nutritional yeast, turmeric, and a few tablespoons of water (3 or so). Mix everything well, and heat it for a few minutes, till it's warmed through (if you use fresh spinach, heat until the spinach is wilted). Add more water as needed, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve.
- Makes 3-4 servings.
Needless to say, you can add any other vegetables you might have, or swap the zucchini for mushrooms or peppers or whatever! You can also finish the scramble off however you'd like: with a squeeze of lemon, an extra sprinkle of nooch, some salsa, avocado slices–whatever suits you. I enjoyed the scramble just as it was, fresh off the stovetop.
This makes a great breakfast, which is of course the traditional way to serve tofu scramble, but the leftovers will be nice for lunch or dinner, too.
Before I go, it's time for an announcement! As those of you who have read this blog for a while know, I was for over two years a practicing nutritionist, trained at a naturopathic school. I loved my work with clients, which coincided with the early years of this blog. Indeed, nutrition work–the profound feeling of gratitude and fulfillment I got from helping people–was a huge factor in my choice to return to school for a health care degree.
For the next year–and possibly after that, but I'm playing this by ear depending on how my application process goes–I'll be relaunching my nutrition counseling. I'm super excited, and eager to dive back into a kind of work that was so inspiring to me, and hopefully helpful to others. Here's what some of my former clients have had to say about me and my services:
"Gena is a brilliantly capable counselor, nutritionist, and confidante. As a high stress individual with a history of disordered eating, I have found her wealth of knowledge and compassion for my struggles to be invaluable. She's worth more than the price of her services, and I recommend her to everyone I meet who considers food-related counseling of any sort."
"Gena has gone to great lengths to educate herself in the fields of diet and nutrition, and her knowledge has helped me make major strides towards a healthy life. She listened to my problems with great patience and understanding and treated me as a person suffering from symptoms, not just a list of symptoms. If you are looking for an open heart, and the brains to back it up, talk to Gena."
"I suffered from disordered eating for about 10 years…Through her compassion, honesty, and understanding, Gena made me realize what it means to me to be healthy and happy; both mentally and physically. Thanks to Gena, after ten years I can now say I am a woman who enjoys food, enjoys life, and enjoys the way she looks at the same time. I am finally my own person again."
"I came to Gena having lost over 130 lbs and being a regular follower of her blog . . . I was bombarded with a swirl of ideas/suggestions gleamed from numerous places – the gym, various blogs, independent research, and multiple friends/work peers eager to offer advice. I sought a trusted adviser who'd get to know me, understanding my objectives and guide me down a safe nutritional path that supported my goals around optimal health specific to my relationship with food. Though I have been a client of Gena's for a relatively short period of time, she has recommend changes that since implemented have dramatically improved multiple areas of concern."
Within the next few weeks, I'll be posting more details about my services and offerings. For now, here are the basics:
What I Do
- Nutrition counseling that emphasizes nourishing, whole foods, balanced eating habits, and sensitivity to the emotional issues that surround food
- Support for men and women who have complex relationships with food, histories of disordered eating, or body image struggles
- Sound, evidence-based feedback and information for those who are new to plant-based eating and have questions about how it works
- Tips on how to build more nutrient dense, balanced meals
- Adaptable, individualized weekly meal plans
- Recipe ideas in keeping with clients' unique needs and particular tastes
- Emotional support for clients with histories of dietary extremes, as well as tips on how to find a greater sense of balance
How I Work
- I offer counseling over the phone, via Skype, via gchat/Facetime, or by email. We can discuss the method that works best for you
- After a one hour, initial session, I offer thirty minute follow ups, along with flexible, individualized meal plans and recipes
- I offer counseling on an individual, ongoing basis, or in packages
- I offer additional, supplementary materials as needed, including grocery checklists, emotional eating worksheets, and food/mood journals
Special Considerations
- While I have and will continue to work with men and women who have eating disorder histories, the counseling I offer is not a suitable replacement for the therapy, dietetics work, or medical interventions that can be crucial to active eating disorder recovery. If you suffer from an eating disorder, it's important that you seek out a care team that has the training and experience to serve you. If you want to chat about whether or not you're at a place in recovery where my work can be valuable to you, please reach out, and we can discuss it.
- My work isn't intended to replace the treatment of any other healthcare professionals.
- Many people have asked me in the past if I work only with vegans. The answer is no! As a nutritionist, my goal is simply to help each client find a diet that is appropriate, healthful, and sustainable for his or her body.
Think you might be interested? Shoot me an email at [email protected] I won't be launching my services until the end of this month, but I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about whether or not I'm a suitable person to help you. (And if I'm not, maybe I can recommend somebody great who is.) I can also give you a sense of my pricing structure. More details will be available soon on the site, but for now, I'm just gauging a sense of overall interest.
I think that's it for this evening, folks. Have a great night!

Pasco News
Outside analysts will again dissect Pasco County's needs
NEW PORT RICHEY - Five years ago, Urban Land Institute advisers essentially turned Pasco County upside down with ideas to streamline government with smart growth.This October, a ULI team will return to examine what the county could do for an encore.County commissioners last week approved spending $125,000 for the team from the nonprofit institute to visit here for five days the week of Oct. 6. The county is paying the base fee, while Pasco Economic Development Council Pasco County will pay expenses such as meals, transportation and room rentals.After the ULI visit here in 2008, many other counties in the region followed Pasco's example and hired ULI for independent analysis, Richard Gehring, Pasco planning and development administrator, said.The visitors will devote most of their time to what steps the county might take next in a recovering economy, Gehring observed."They kicked our rear end," since-retired Pasco County administrator John Gallagher said at the time of the 2008 ULI report.In fact, ULI "smart growth" advice led Gallagher to hire Gehring to lead growth management and bring Pasco into the 21st century.Once again, ULI members will crisscross Pasco to gather information and speak with "stakeholders." They will submit a draft report within 30 days after they leave and the full report within 90 days.The September 2008 report prompted county officials to try to redevelop the patchwork of businesses along the U.S. 19 corridor. Market areas also emerged from a ULI recommendation, in which Pasco County was subdivided into five regions with varying needs. West Pasco lies in a coastal market area.The panel believes that a key to this planning approach is to recognize that the county consists of unmistakably different geographic areas and those areas must have visions, missions, and strategies that are tailored to each," according to the conclusion in the 2008 report."The county (government) must migrate from tedious, ad-hoc, and cumbersome to predictable, orderly, and consistent. "The current downturn in the housing sector will rebound and the panel predicts strong growth over the next 20 years."email@example.com(727) 815-1068

The Book Whisperer, Chapter 6
13 comments:
Daina, thanks so much for your thoughtful summary...it was long, but full of good meaty stuff to ponder. I could not agree with you more on the whys behind assessment! I have done book passes before...but that was when I taught much older students. I will have to try out your freebie with my learners this coming school year!!! I also loved the updated approach to book reports! Reminds me of how Ramona Quimby did hers! :) Reading that chapter to the kids to introduce the concept might really get our learners interested in sharing what they have read! Great post!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Tamara! I know it's lengthy...thanks for stickin' with it! :) Love that idea about Ramona Quimby!Delete
I read the chapter and some of it kind of bothered me. Last year my class read novels (3rd grade) but they also had individual reading time. I also used Reading counts as an incentive. My kids read more last year than any other year I had been teaching. I believe the things she says are true for the middle/high school students. But I think in the elementary level the students could benefit from a whole class novel by the things she has stated. I do plan to make some small changes in during my reading block, but I am not so sure if I 100% agree with all that Miller has said. Maybe it's just me...ReplyDeleteReplies
I can totally get where you are coming from. I don't think it's just you! Since she is writing from a middle school perspective, I think it's a bit different than what us, as elementary teachers, are used to. I think as elementary teachers we are ALWAYS more inclined to try different things. I don't think that is the norm in middle school. I can remember doing the boring worksheets and endless chapter study guides in middle school so some of what she was saying did feel familiar. I agree with you however that a lot of it made me think and question it. But I think that's the whole point.. is to get us to think and reflect on our practice. If you are content with how you have set things up in your classroom and your students love reading.. then I say you are SPOT ON! :) I'm sure your 3rd graders have a blast!
Thanks for weighing in! :)
How do you assess students through a Reader's Workshop model. I'm very interested in implementing this type of practice this school year, but my school district requires a set number of grades each nine weeks. I would appreciate any suggestions. Awesome post! Thanks for sharing! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
THAT is an excellent question! I truly wish I had an answer for you! I'm afraid I don't have any experience with this model therefore I'm really not sure what to suggest. I'm in the same boat as you... we are required to have a certain number of grades per subject area per 9 weeks as well. Makes it difficult to step away from these types of assessments sometimes! Thank you for your sweet words! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
I had a few concerns with this chapter as well. I am willing to do away with the comprehension tests and worksheets. The question is how do we assess our students then? I have grades that have to be entered into the gradebook for report cards. It sounds to me like a lot of rubrics will need to be created for different types of assessments.ReplyDelete
I love the idea of the book clubs. This is something I am going to implement next year.Replies
I completely agree with your concerns. The same questions came up for me as I was reading and I honestly don't know the answer. I think you are right regarding rubrics however that can be very time consuming no matter what grade you are teaching!
I loved the idea of book clubs also! Glad you have decided to implement them! How exciting! :) Best of luck to you on that!
I read this book along with Daily 5/Cafe last summer and agree totally with what is said, so much so that I jumped right in. I assigned ZERO books last year and it was absolutely liberating!! We did our skill work with passage excerpts and their independent reading and I had conferences and meetings with small groups. I've never had such a community of readers as I did last year!!ReplyDelete
One thing that I am going to try this year for book talks is to have students video their book talks, then I will create a QR code for it, print it out and put it inside of the book in my classroom library. Then for years to come, students can scan the code and watch the "live" book reviews!! I think it will be motivating and I am having one of my former students be a guinea pig for me this summer with the project. He is super excited about it and I'm hoping it will motivate my new students as well. I may also have some of the reviews be recorded with Xbox 360 avatar kinect!!Replies
I love the idea of putting the QR codes in the books and having that link to the videos. All of that is beyond my abilities right now. I know what is the next class I need to take! I bet even my kinders would like to do book talks.Delete
Terri Izatt
I am so happy to hear that it worked in your classroom! How wonderful!Delete
LOVE that QR code idea! I think that is a fabulous idea! I bet the kids will LOVE it!!!! Thanks so much for sharing! :)
I was glad to hear that I can still partner read with my students. I have to admit, in the earlier chapters when she touched on the no whole group reading, I was upset. Part of the excitement of my job comes in the fact that I spend a lot of time handpicking excellent books that get my students thinking-ones that they wouldn't necessarily pick out on their own. I was devastated to learn that Mrs. Miller didn't like that until I read this chapter!! I was happy to learn that the kids and I could still read together. I had my kiddos in groups and we would read together with me, they would partner read the book so that we could discuss when they got to me, and they got to read books individually by themselves . . . 60 minutes a day if they got to all 3 of those stations!! I loved it. I can't wait to add in the Reader's Notebook!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Andrea, I'm right there with you! I love partner reading with my kiddos too! Sounds like you have a great system worked out. I wish you the best with implementing Reader's Notebook! Thanks for commenting! :)Delete

Israeli aircraft bombed the Gaza Strip on Saturday and Palestinian militants fired rockets at the Jewish state, the military said, with no end in sight to the deadliest violence between the sides in years.
Gaza health officials said five people were killed in an Israeli strike on a house in central Gaza. The Israeli military said it bombed about 20 targets across the Hamas-dominated strip, including rocket launchers and weapon caches.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday threatened to escalate the fight against Hamas, vowing the militant group would "pay a heavy price" after a four-year-old Israeli boy was killed by a mortar attack from Gaza.
Indirect negotiations between Israel and Gaza militant groups to end the conflict, brokered by Egypt, collapsed on Tuesday with no sign of any resumption ahead.
The Israeli military said Palestinian gunmen had fired almost 500 rockets at Israel since the talks broke down and Gaza health officials said 65 Palestinians had been killed in Israeli air strikes since then.
Palestinian health officials say 2,076 people, many of them civilians, have been killed in Gaza since July 8, when Israel launched an offensive with the declared aim of ending rocket fire into its territory.
The boy killed on Friday was the first Israeli child to have died in the conflict, bringing to four the number of civilians killed in Israel. Sixty-four Israeli soldiers have also been killed in the fighting.
The Israeli military had said on Friday the mortar was fired from a school serving as a U.N. shelter, but later retracted that statement, saying the shelter was run by Hamas.
On Friday Hamas-led gunmen in Gaza executed 18 Palestinians accused of collaborating with Israel. The Independent Commission for Human Rights (ICHR), a Palestinian rights group, said there were two women among those killed.
Masked militants dressed in black executed seven suspected collaborators, shooting the hooded and bound victims in a busy square outside a mosque. The deaths followed the killing of 11 alleged informers at an abandoned police station.
The crackdown on suspected collaborators followed the killing of three of Hamas's most senior military commanders in an Israeli air strike on Thursday, an attack that required precise on-the-ground intelligence on their whereabouts.
On Friday, Israel's military spokesman Brig. Gen. Motti Almoz warned Palestinians near weapons stockpiles in Gaza to leave their homes. "We are intensifying our attacks," he said, adding that Israel was "preparing for possible ground action".
Israel pulled ground forces out of Gaza

"Happy Accidents" (2000)
The third film from director Brad Anderson proved to be his first excursion into the kind of flawed, fascinating genre oddities that have dominated his career ever since. Sold as the kind of quirky rom-com that was ten-a-penny in the indie world, even a decade ago, it comes as something of a surprise when the major flaw of Sam (Vincent D'Onofrio), the charming new lover of Ruby (Marisa Tomei), turns out to be that he claims to be a 'back-traveler,' from the year 2439. The film fully embraces its science fiction elements, sketching out a future world that owes a little to Woody Allen's "Sleeper," but it's blended with a genuinely sweet romance. Both leads are charming -- D'Onofrio in particular makes you lament that he's spent so long in the "Law & Order" wasteland -- and there's a psychological realism that lifts it above other rom-coms. It might be a minor work, but it's also one of Anderson's most satisfying. [B]
"The Jacket" (2005)
Surviving the Gulf War despite major head trauma, veteran Jack Starks (Adrien Brody) tries to go to a home that may not exist. Instead, he finds himself involved in a hoary shooting incident that gets him sentenced to a mental institution, where he is locked in an experimental straightjacket at night that allows him to jump forward in time to romance the daughter of one of the victims of his violence. Long in-development as some sort of big studio film, the small, intimate, often willfully incomprehensible "The Jacket" spotlights a jagged series of connections between violent acts that features no direct answer as to what Starks is experiencing. Brody is suitably haunted in the lead, and Keira Knightley is affecting as the lonely woman he romances, but look out for a very pre-Bond Daniel Craig as one of the paranoid, disturbed institution members eager to get a look into Starks' head. [B+]
"Peggy Sue Got Married" (1986)
It's easy to forget that Francis Ford Coppola-helmed "Peggy Sue Got Married," the bizarre middle-aged response to "Back to the Future." Where the latter seems to celebrate the strength you surprisingly find when life deems it necessary, 'Peggy Sue' revisits the past with judgment and misery. Kathleen Turner is compelling as the star who travels 'back in time' after a seizure at her 25th high school reunion, as long as you are able to suspend the disbelief that she is anything south of 35 years old. The bright star of the film is Nicolas Cage, who seems to shine whenever tasked with being a pained and heartbroken teen. 'Peggy Sue' attempts to show us that hasty decisions of youth can have lasting effects, such as lackluster marriages, bad jobs and disgruntled kids, but as an adult it's impossible to view your past as anything but nostalgic. Turner embraces the youthfulness of her character and the many choices not taken, but what's most interesting about Peggy's return to the past is the difference between the treatment of women in the '50s vs the '80s. Wonder how the feminist angle would have been represented if Penny Marshall had directed, as originally planned instead of Coppola. Either way, it was nice to take a trip down Peggy's memory lane.

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Richard Solomon scored seven points as part of an opening 14-0 run and California got another steady performance from Tyrone Wallace in a 75-47 win over Southern Utah on Monday.
Justin Cobbs added six points and eight assists for the Golden Bears (4-0), who overcame an off night by leading scorer Jabari Bird. Cal's freshman guard had eight points but shot just 1 of 3 and committed eight turnovers.
Solomon finished with a season-high 14 points, seven rebounds and three blocked shots while Wallace had 15 points and four rebounds. The two combined with David Kravish to score 15 points during a 24-3 run in the second half when Cal pushed its lead to 38.
A.J. Hess scored 14 points for Southern Utah. The Thunderbirds (1-2) shot just 29.3 percent.

Heidi Klum is the very epitome of
a supermodel -- a tall, beautiful blonde with
a stellar modeling career, a hit TV show and a
successful jewelry line. But she's also a loving
wife to pop singer Seal and mom to three young
Thrown into the modeling spotlight
at age 18, the now 34-year-old top fashion model
is surprisingly down to earth. Growing up in Bergisch
Gladbach, a small city near Cologne, Germany,
her dad, Gunther, worked for a cosmetics company
and her mother, Erna, was a hairdresser.
After Klum submitted photos to a
modeling competition, her career took off. She
began in the high-powered world of European fashion,
followed by a trip to the United States to establish
a celebrated -- and profitable -- relationship
with Victoria's Secret.
Klum really hit the big time in 1998, with the coveted cover of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit
Issue, joining the ranks of Elle McPherson, Tyra Banks and Christie Brinkley.
Since then Klum has become a cottage
industry unto herself. She increased her profile
with hosting duties on "Germany's Next Top Model"
and Bravo's "Project Runway." Klum also produces
TV shows, hawks her jewelry collection on QVC
and shoots various ad campaigns. She has parlayed
her exotic good looks into a multimillion dollar
Bankrate: Your family has grown within the last few years. Can you tell
us your children's names and ages?
Heidi Klum: There's Leni, born May 4, 2004; Henry, born Sept. 12,
2005; and Johan, born Nov. 22, 2006. And that's it for now.
Bankrate: With three children, how do you juggle career with motherhood?
Heidi Klum: It's hard and amazing at the same time. I would not change
it for anything in the world.
Bankrate: What are some of your most unique secrets for finding balance
in your life?
Heidi Klum: To take time out for yourself so you can engage in an activity
that you really enjoy. Another is to not neglect the romance in your life. Yet another is to wear pretty lingerie if
you don't want to feel schlumpy. Still, finding time for romance is something that balances out my life. With us, we
never lose sight of romance and having fun. We come from completely different upbringings, but I think that's what
makes it all work so well.
Bankrate: What's your most prized possession?
Heidi Klum: My family, bar none. Material possession? I love all the
gorgeous jewelry my very romantic and generous husband has given me.

//Toronto streetcar and a Hudson's Bay Co winter coat.
Friend and fellow photographer, Hamish Grant, presented me with a gift at our last show: a Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim camera.
It's a small, plastic 35mm camera (he found it at Dollarama!) that has made waves around the world for its oddly super-wide lens. I've been carrying it around for the past couple months and, finally, developed the film this week. This is one of my favourite shots.
Thanks for this priceless little number, Hamish!
EXHIBIT: This month, I'll be showing a brand new photo series at galleryDK in Toronto. Mind's Eye is a collaboration with artist and friend, Georgia Kristoffersen. Opening night is March 5th at 7pm and the exhibit will run until the end of March. Add it to your Facebook event calendar here.

Private tutor salary guidelines
The pricing of a job is based on the detailed Specification that we draw up after meeting with our clients. It is based purely on what we know we need to be able to offer to attract excellent educators from their current commitments. The figures are negotiable to some degree, but we do not believe in underpricing the services of highly-qualified teaching professionals.
UK Government guidelines recommend a salary of £44,500 to £64,000 for advanced skills teachers in London, with 5+ years experience. A senior teacher with leadership experience can earn up to £112,000 pa. (You can see complete tables of these figures at the Dept of Education website)
Having assessed what we need to pay to attract the right calibre of applicant to a particular post, we then calculate the fee to the client. We pay 75% to the tutor; the other 25% is our commission. (For example, fees to the client of £96,000 per annum, will mean a salary to the tutor of £72,000 pa.)
Unlike most recruiters we do not charge our fee in advance and then leave everything to the client and tutor. Our fees are spread over the whole contract term and we remain available to help both the client and tutor throughout the full period.

Basic composition book or e-book
My older son, avid newbie photographer, asked me for a basic composition book. I've tried to teach all I know, but still, is better that he gets some basic training from a reliable source, and build a base to one day create your own style. Style can't be taught, but discovered from ones experiences.
Any ideas?

Mozilla's Firefox mobile OS could be Android killer in emerging markets
Mozilla's Firefox mobile operating system (OS) could be an Android killer in emerging markets.
That is the judgment of Brendan Greeley at BusinessWeek.
Firefox mobile OS was specifically developed for lower tech, cheaper smartphones that mobile carriers are selling in emerging markets like Brazil, writes Greeley.
For example, the Alcatel OneTouch Fire funs the Firefox mobile OS and it sells for $151 in Sao Paulo, one-fifth the price of an iPhone 5C.
One of the world's largest mobile operators, Telefonica, launched Firefox smartphones in Spain and seven Latin American countries last year. Germany's Deutsche Telekom sells Firefox phones in Poland, Greece, Hungary and Germany and will roll them out in Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro and the Czech Republic this year. And Firefox will be sold in India for $25 in a few months.
"Mozilla's alternative isn't likely to win over iOS and Android phone users in the U.S. or Japan, who aren't counting pennies on devices or data plans. But it could pose a serious threat to Apple and especially Google in the emerging markets where most sales growth lies," write Greeley.
Apart from price, a key selling point for mobile operators is that Mozilla does not require carriers to negotiate subsidies or software licensing agreements, and there is more flexibility to modify handsets. For privacy-conscious consumers, Firefox does not send user data back to Mozilla's servers for analysis or sale, Greeley notes.
"We're targeting people who never had this kind of Internet access before. Maybe they had a basic feature phone before. And for them, even a $70 smartphone is a substantial investment. As close we can get that to zero dollars, the better," Johnathan Nightingale, who heads Mozilla's Firefox browser and OS business, tells the Wall Street Journal.
This could be bad news for Android, which is betting on emerging markets for continued growth. Google's Project Svelte was a recent effort to reduce the memory requirements of the Android OS so it could function on cheaper smartphones running as little as 512 megabytes of RAM, the Journal reports.

What fiduciary duties does the board of directors have to shareholders? Where do these duties come from? Are these duties particular to Delaware corporate law?
In a recent post, I discussed the board's fiduciary duties to the corporation. In response, Alex Todd (Twitter handle:@TrustEnabler) asked the three questions above. These questions raise important issues about how disputes in corporate governance will be addressed.
The Board's Fiduciary Responsibility to Shareholders
Just as board members owe a duty of care and duty of loyalty to the corporation, they owe the same duties to shareholders because they are considered to be fiduciaries of the shareholders. In North American Catholic Educational Programming Foundation, Inc. v. Gheewalla, 930 A.2d 92, 99 (Del. 2007), the Delaware Supreme Court described the duties of directors to shareholders:
It is well established that the directors owe their fiduciary obligations to the corporation and its shareholders. While shareholders rely on directors acting as fiduciaries to protect their interests, creditors are afforded protection through contractual agreements, fraud and fraudulent conveyance law, implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing, bankruptcy law, general commercial law and other sources of creditor rights.
Thus, the source of the directors' responsibility to shareholders is the fiduciary relationship.
A few points are important to note. Delaware courts, neither here nor in other cases, do not describe the directors as agents of the shareholders. Nor do Delaware courts state that the shareholders' interests take primacy over all others. As Professor Lynn Stout of UCLA Law School astutely explains, the common belief that the board must always strive to maximize shareholder wealth is not supported in corporate law.
The Distinction Between the Corporation and its Shareholders
In some writings, the distinction between duties to the corporation and its shareholders is blurred. In Ivanhoe Partners v. Newmont Mining Corp., 535 A.2d 1334 (Del. 1987), Gheewalla, and other cases, the court explicitly discussed directors' obligations to the corporation and its shareholders. That language clearly differentiates between the two.
The distinction is supported by the existence of shareholder derivative lawsuits that shareholders can bring against board members for breach of fiduciary duty.
It is well settled that directors owe fiduciary duties to the corporation. When a corporation is solvent, then those duties may be enforced by its shareholders, who have standing to bring derivative actions on behalf of the corporation because they are the ultimate beneficiaries of the corporation's growth and increased value. Gheewalla, 930 A.2d at 101.
The reasoning behind derivative suits is that the corporation itself is unwilling to bring the claim for the plaintiff shareholders, usually because the directors, officers, or other shareholders are alleged to be at fault. Officers of the corporation, who like the directors presumably also have responsibilities to shareholders, can be held liable in a derivative action.
The Fiduciary Responsibility to Shareholders is Broadly Recognized
Delaware is not the only US state to recognize the board's responsibility to shareholders. In any state that permits shareholder derivative suits, directors implicitly owe a duty to shareholders. That duty is the basis for such suits, as shareholders have standing to bring the derivative suit on behalf of the corporation. Examples of other states that permit derivative suits are:
- California (See, e.g., Bancroft-Whitney Co. v. Glen (1966) 64 Cal.2d 237, 345; Small v. Fritz Companies, Inc. (2003) 30 Cal.4th 167; Professional Hockey Corp. v. World Hockey Assn. (1983) 143 Cal.App.3d 410; all allowing derivative suits),
- Florida (Florida Corporations Statute FS 607.07401 describing requirements for shareholder derivative lawsuit), and
The board has duties to the corporation and its shareholders. Why? Because of the fiduciary relationship between the board and shareholders. When directors breach their duties, shareholders can bring a derivative suit against the directors. In additional circumstances such as change of control transactions, mergers and acquisitions, and insolvency, directors also owe shareholders duties, including Revlon duties to achieve the best price for shareholders and to disclose material information and potential conflicts of interest.

Over two dozen highway projects that are in limbo would have the option of rescheduling their premium payments (aggregating R98,115 crore) to the National Highways Authority of India if the road ministry has its way. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs is likely to discuss the ministry's proposal soon, even as the finance ministry and the Planning Commission are not exactly happy with it the former sees a moral hazard in such tweaking of model concession agreements (MCA) signed with the bidders who ought to have assessed the project risks before placing their bids and the latter stresses the MCA lacked a provision for such a change. The ministry for roads, which has made the proposal, however, believes rescheduling is a practical solution to the problems faced by developers and that it is in the overall interest of the sector hit by the slowdown. Oscar Fernandes, minister for road transport and highways, talks about the pros and cons of the proposal with FE. The minister also dwells on the investment famine in the sector, the perception that the PPP model in the sector has failed and recent issues of tolling that have led to a stand-off between the NHAI and the developers (NHAI instructions increase construction cost and it overegulates tolling). Excerpts from an interview he gave Timsy Jaipuria, Rishi Raj and KG Narendranath
Last year was not very good for the highway sector with the total projects awarded declining sharply to 1,116 km from 7,400 km the year before (of course, 2,840 km of highways were constructed in FY13 compared to 2,242 km in the previous year). The general perception is that the awarding target for this year is a difficult one to meet.
There will be a remarkable (increase) in the (quantum) of awards this year. Difficulties are indeed there the economic scenario is not very good, the investment climate has deteriorated and not many people are now willing to take up projects on premium.
Why we are still confident is because some of the hurdles have been removed. The Supreme Court ruling earlier this year, which de-linked the forest and environmental clearances, would help. The environment ministry, I must say, is doing their best to fast-track approvals.
Premium rescheduling would stand some 23 developers, who

West Bengal chief minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee is finding it difficult to control dissension within her party over various issues. Many of her senior leaders including some MPs and MLAs have started refusing her instructions and the Congress is now trying hard to exploit this situation to strengthen their organisation in West Bengal.
Mamata Banerjee's Singur strongman and former agriculture minister Rabindra Nath Bhattacharjee has virtually triggered the rebellion within the organisation by openly refusing the chief minister's instructions of accepting the new ministerial portfolio. Bhattacharjee was the agriculture minister. But last month Mamata had reshuffled her cabinet and removed Bhattacharjee from the agriculture ministry. The 80-year-old Singur MLA had refused to accept his new position in the cabinet and has resigned from the government. he has also stopped attending his new office and the state Assembly.

PITTSBURG, KS.--- Pittsburg State's Russ Hall was hit with a lightening strike in the early morning hours of June 30th, 1914. The fire quickly engulfed the whole building. A ceremony was held this morning at PSU to honor the 100 year anniversary. Russ Hall was one of two buildings on campus at the time and the community came together to make classrooms so the students wouldn't miss a day.
"They put them in tents on the lawn, they took them to buildings downtown, they put them in Whiteson Hall. They put them everywhere so classes could continue," said Randy Roberts, PSU Archivist.
Russ Hall was only six years old when the blaze took place. There was one fatality during the fire.

I.T. Takes a Village: Partnering for You
Across AU's distributed campus, many offices contribute to the success of a system or service. The Office of Information Technology has collaborated with some of its partners to develop Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to sustain and increase quality service levels and best value to AU.
These SLAs are intended to provide a clear reference to service ownership and accountability, along with a concise and measurable description of the service provided to the customer. The roles and responsibilities of everyone involved in a particular service or system are also defined. The SLA matches perceptions of expected service with actual service support and delivery.
SLAs offer many benefits to both customers and providers. For example, SLAs establish a baseline, which leads to continuous improvement and better service. With meetings and frequent discussions, the collaborative process required to develop an SLA strengthens relationships between OIT and the service owner from another campus department.
The SLA also helps to establish a shared language that can be useful for managing expectations and providing clarity, because the scope of services and division of responsibilities are clearly defined. The goals of any service are balance and optimum performance; an SLA helps us achieve these goals by examining and defining the interaction among people, products, and processes.
Below are the SLAs established as of January of 2009:
- A SLA was signed in March of 2008 with Housing & Dining Programs to govern the Blackboard Transaction System, which is the system for processing credit card and EagleBuck$ transactions both on and off campus.
- A SLA was signed in April of 2008 with the Center for Teaching Excellence to manage the Blackboard Academic Suite, which is AU's electronic learning application.
- A SLA was signed in June of 2008 with Housing & Dining Programs and Public Safety to manage the C-Cure System, which provides card access to campus buildings.
- A SLA was signed in August of 2008 with the University Library and Housing & Dining Programs to govern the EagleBuck$ Printing System.
- A SLA was signed in November of 2008 with the Washington College of Law's Office of Information Technology to manage the WCL Core Services.
- A SLA was signed in January of 2009 with Public Safety to govern the AU Campus Connect emergency alert system.

LongshotA four-fingered slave, created by the Mojoverse to be a TV star. Supposedly the hero who would free the Mojoverse from its tyrannical despot, he's had some trouble with that over the years. First appearing as a naive, lucky fool (and in a love triangle against his will with Rogue and Dazzler), then becoming a less naive, not quite as lucky, hero. Friends of his tend to end up in the worst way: Ricochet Rita was turned into Spiral, Dazzler miscarried their child. It's worth noting that he was the second non-mutant to join the team.
- Artificial Human: Well, artificial other-dimensional "human". Longshot and others like him were created by the Spineless Ones to serve as performers in their TV-like entertainments.
- Bishōnen: The reason for Longshot's attractiveness.
- Boldly Coming: He's been romancing "alien" (human and human-mutants) women since first stepping foot on Earth. Since his marriage to Dazzler ended, he's been making plenty of human women very, very happy. Sometimes repeatedly.
- Born Lucky: His powers.
- Chick Magnet: Ladies love him.
- Cloud Cuckoo Lander
- Even the Guys Want Him: In X-Factor, when he first showed up Detective Lieutenant Weiss is immediately smitten (which does wonders to move the investigation process along).
- The Fool
- Four-Fingered Hands: Has only three fingers and a thumb on each hand.
- Glowing Eyes: His left eye glows when he uses his luck or psychometry powers.
- Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Explicitly a part of how his luck powers work in the earlier parts of his continuity. So long as his motives are pure rather than selfish, everything that can possibly go in his favor will do so, frequently in drastic fashion. If he attempts to use his luck for his own profit, however - such as his attempt in his introductory LS to work as a stuntman - his luck turns against him and reality quite painfully ensues.
- Informed Attractiveness: Almost every female character he comes into contact with comments on his handsomeness. Kitty Pryde was so entranced by him she stole a kiss from him while he was asleep.
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: Mojo did this to him before his reappearance in Exiles.
- Longshot has no recollection of Dazzler's pregnancy because his son, Shatterstar, erased his memories of this in order to preserve the Stable Time Loop of his own history.
- LEGO Genetics: Was created by the Spineless One scientist Arize, partly using DNA taken from Shatterstar, who is also Longshot's biological son with Dazzler.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: He has a real name, but doesn't remember it.
- Outdated Outfit: The leather jumpsuit. In his debut, he also had a mullet-style haircut modeled after the musician Limahl. For the Longshot Saves The Marvel Universe miniseries, he got a more modern look.
- Psychometry: He can read "psychic imprints" that people leave on objects that they have handled and sometimes can even look into the future of the person or object he touches.
- Refugee from TV Land: He's from Mojoworld, where TV is life, and life is controlled by Mojo.
- Stable Time Loop: Due to Time Travel and the non-multiversal nature of Mojoworld, Longshot was created using genes collected from his own son Shatterstar after the latter had been blasted into Mojoworld's past.
- Trope Codifier: For a whole host of visual tropes from the Dark Age of comics. Art Adams' scratchy style in the original Longshot miniseries was a major influence on his inker, Whilce Portacio, and Jim Lee, and Adams actually gave Longshot pouches because of his dislike of the hyperspace arsenal trope.
- Winds of Destiny, Change
ForgeA Cheyenne indian, born to be a shaman. He ran from his responsibilities and joined the military, only to conjure up some badassery in Vietnam and releasing the Trickster. Then he worked for the US government as their gadget man, only to create the gun that stripped Storm (accidently: it was meant to be Rogue) of her powers. He nursed her back to health, then got a What the Hell, Hero? for it when she found out he was at fault. Sacrificed the X-Men (at the time) with their permission to lock away the entity he had released, after it wreaked havoc in Dallas. He eventually joined the X-Men and wanted to marry Storm, but ultimately left her (and the team) for Mystique when he felt Ororo didn't love him. You can imagine how well that relationship went, and he regretted his actions when Storm went on to marry the Black Panther. Supposedly, he'll be Genesis in the future.
- Anti-Hero: Originally usually presented as mixed traits from type II and IV, but debatable as he technically started out as a weapon-dealing, ex-Vietnam war criminal, so Warren Ellis probably had a good point in interpreting himas type V or a Designated Hero Villain Protagonist.
- Artificial Limbs
- The Atoner: He joined the X-Men to make up for making a superhuman-depowering gun. And also in the hope of getting into Storm's pants.
- Ditzy Genius: In X-Men Evolution and Wolverine and the X-Men cartoon.
- Felony Misdemeanor: Storm fans hated Forge for breaking up with her just as she was going to accept his proposal, leaving her for Mystique. Debate over who was wrong for the break up can get intense, but the two ex-lovers eventually met up and agreed that both were at fault to some extent.
- Florence Nightingale Effect: Storm first, then Mystique.
- Gadgeteer Genius - this Up to Eleven
- Magical Native American: Doesn't come up very often.
- Mr. Fixit: his mutant ability helps him build machines by simply imagining what they should do, rather than working out the pesky details.
- Older Than They Look: Since his origin is still entrenched in Vietnam with no Retcon yet to update him to a more current war for his backstory, he's fallen into this trope. By now, he's have to be in his early 60s at the least to have served in the Vietnam War,
- Only Known by Their Nickname: His real name is not revealed.
- Techno Wizard: A classic example.
- Totally Radical: In X-Men Evolution cartoon. Made rather funny because he actually looked a LOT like Fez from That '70s Show...
- The Vietnam Vet: He served in Vietnam, but Comic-Book Time is not in effect.
