Event Details: Testing Then and Now - Building on a Legacy in Educational Measurement, Assessment and Evaluation
Description: Conference Theme
Discussions on educational testing can become heated in both academic and public circles today. But, how many remember the historical rationales, conceptualizations, and drivers of the educational testing movement in its early days, framed around the core teaching and learning goals of schools and traceable to Teachers College (TC), Columbia University in the 1900s? As a part of TC's 125th anniversary, the conference, Testing Then and Now will examine the history and the future of educational measurement, assessment and evaluation at home and abroad, searching for deeper understandings of contemporary issues as a means to pave the way forward.
Session Themes
The conference will have three sessions.
Session I- Testing, Assessment and the Scientific Movement in Education: From the Thorndikes to the Present
Session I will honor and critically explore historic contributions of leading scholars from TC—such as, Edward L. Thorndike and his son, Robert L. Thorndike—along with major thinkers from in and outside TC who shaped the science and field of educational measurement as it evolved over time into a worldwide testing and evaluation industry. It will remember TC's early presence in international assessment programs through the involvement of Robert L. Thorndike, Harry Passow, Richard Wolf and other faculty, touching on the place and value of such programs today. It will shed light on contemporary issues and associated policies in testing, evaluation and accountability influencing public education and its stakeholders in the United States (U.S), including students, school leaders, teachers, and the public.
Session II – The Gordon Commission's Perspectives: Moving towards Assessment for Learning
Session II will present the thinking and recommendations of the Gordon Commission on the future of assessment in education, led by Professor Edmund W. Gordon and other members of the Commission. This session will argue for a broader conceptualization of assessment to foster student learning and better teaching, highlighting a vision for technology-based assessment models. It will critique the best of current assessment models and anticipate future needs and goals in the service of educational excellence and equity by the mid-21st century. The Commission's session is intended to involve wide public participation with complete transparency. Highlights of the Commission's recently released reports will be presented.
Session III - Backlash against Testing
Session III will focus in on the contemporary backlash against testing in the U.S., considering its various roots and projecting its possible consequences. Opposition to high stakes testing has emerged in a number of different forms rooted in different constituencies today. Some of the early opposition—the so-called "Scarsdale Revolt"—involved affluent parents upset about diversion from what they considered to be richer educational exercises and a perceived focus on memorization over creativity http://www.nytimes.com/2001/04/13/nyregion/in-high-scoring-scarsdale-a-revolt-against-state-tests.html. Another source has come from teachers and parents in schools that began being marked as "failures' by virtue of not meeting adequate yearly progress (AYP) targets under NCLB. Educators more generally have complained that the focus on narrowly gauged standardized tests has conflicted with their professional judgment about what constitutes good schooling. All of this is further complicated by recent high profile cases of educator cheating and test company errors.

Expert tips for safely climbing backyard trees
Master tree-climbing instructor Tim Kovar vividly remembers climbing his first tree while growing up in Fremont, Neb. Once up his neighbor�s apple tree, the 5-year-old boy couldn�t get back down and had to be rescued by a friend�s dad. Now 43 and founder of Tree Climbing Planet near Oregon City, Ore., Kovar still recommends apple trees for �free climbing��the hand-over-hand, old-school style that remains a rite of passage for many children. Other good trees for backyard climbers include magnolias, weeping willows, maples, some birches, short white pines or short oaks, according to Kovar and fellow climber Peter �Treeman� Jenkins, considered the father of recreational climbing. Both Kovar and Jenkins say commonsense precautions reduce the inherent risks involved. Their main advice for families of budding climbers: Choose a healthy tree that�s not too big, with accessible branches that grow out so it�s easy to step up and reach a higher limb��a ladder-like climb� is how Jenkins describes it. (But don�t use a ladder to get into the tree, Kovar says. That means the tree�s too large.) Inspect the tree for hazards such as beehives and power lines. Make sure the weather conditions are safe. At the first sign of a thunderstorm, get out of the tree and take shelter. Climb on the strongest part of a branch next to the trunk. Always maintain three points of contact: two hands and one foot, or two feet and one hand. �And before you reach up, make sure you�re grabbing a live branch, not a dead one,� says Jenkins, who founded Tree Climbers International in 1983 in Atlanta. Accidents often happen when branches break and climbers lose their balance. While many children typically start climbing trees this way, both Jenkins and Kovar prefer the rope-and-saddle approach that they teach at their respective schools. It�s the gold standard for safety and works for people of most any body type or any age. (Children age 5 are usually the youngest they'll take on beginning climbs.) Kovar never tires of watching people experience some serious hang time in a tree's canopy. �You enter into a zone that I call �tree time� where time stands still,� he says. �Five minutes can turn into a couple of hours. Two hours can seem like five minutes. It�s just this different space up there.� For more tips about climbing trees, check out Kovar's treeclimbingplanet.com or Jenkins'�treeclimbing.com.

I know we don't even bother with Cavs game threads anymore, but on the off chance anyone else actually watched the Cavs-Blazers game tonight, I just feel like going out on a limb and saying I think this team is pretty entertaining and likable right now (for whatever that's worth). Are they 4-13? Yes. Are we beyond accepting "moral victories"? Sure. But for pure entertainment value-- spending your time actually watching the game on TV-- this is not the shit show we grew accustomed to in Year One without LBJ. They've gone out there without Kyrie and played Miami and Memphis to the wire, beat Atlanta, and showed a ton of heart taking Portland to Double OT (if you didn't see it, the Blazers won on a ridiculous off balance three-pointer at the buzzer, of course). And in place of the LBJ isolation offense of the Mike Brown era, Byron Scott actually has these guys moving around and running "plays" on occasion.
If the team is on trial, I might also mention that their schedule has been absolutely ridiculous this year so far. 11 of their first 17 have been on the road, including a six game trip that hit the west coast AND east coast. And two of their six home games came the next night after a road game.
Will they turn into a playoff team when the schedule balances out and Irving returns? No. But with tonight as a fine example, Varejao is about as watchable an athlete as there is in this town right now-- averaging a ridiculous 15 and 15 a night. And the rooks Tyler Zeller and Dion Waiters both made some huge plays in the overtime sessions and have looked like solid selections overall.
I guess I am just wondering if anyone else gives a rat's ass about watching these games right now, or if it's simpler just going on fan auto-pilot until the draft?

cheese: Do you conservatives ever stop crying? You HATE everything. You deflect, you call Obama the Marxist, the Muslim, cry about communism and socialism, when your own party tramples your rights just as much. Cry about the division in America as if YOU didn't create it, then blame it on Obama. Complain about tax and spend when your party spends just as much. Want the liberals to just lay down for you when you win. Preach compromise and tolerance, when you win. But none of you said anything about compromise or working together the last eight years...until you won. You whine about EVERYTHING. The "liberal media." The "liberal" education system. Now the FBI, which you liked a minute ago because of Hillary emails, but now they are investigating something Trump, they must be liberal and crooked! The CIA. I mean do you clowns ever stop crying about stuff? The war on Christmas, not even a real thing. The fake news. The war on Christians. Giving LGBT rights. Getting health-care. Saturday Night Live of all things. The rigged election, before the election. Not a peep since about rigged election. Regulation, as if that isn't why you breathe clean air and have clean water, etc. Somehow the military not getting enough. You literally just cried for an entire 8 years...

Brussels/Copenhagen, 15 March 2004: The Arctic's unique environment and indigenous peoples are under increasing threat from industrial activities and the region is likely to change drastically unless decision-makers in the European Union and elsewhere address the challenges seriously.
This is the key message of a new report, Arctic environment: European perspectives, published jointly by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the European Environment Agency (EEA). The report, compiled by experts at the UNEP/ GRID- Arendal centre in Norway, warns that the northern polar region faces a diverse range of threats from unsustainable development, pollution and climate change.
These threats include the fragmentation of wildlife habitats, over-harvesting of the region's once-abundant fish stocks and unsustainable use of other natural resources such as its vast forests. Unique plant and animal species are under threat or disappearing due to climate change. Pollutants, some known to be cancerous, are present in key Arctic species, causing great concern for human health. Piecemeal development is also beginning to have a major cumulative effect on the Arctic environment, with adverse economic and social consequences for its indigenous peoples.
"With the high levels of toxic chemicals in local Inuit peoples, the melting of permafrost and the retreat of glaciers across the region, the Arctic is like an environmental early warning system for the world," UNEP Executive Director Klaus Toepfer said. "Luckily there are measures to address these problems. On 17 May this year, the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants will become legally binding. This international legal agreement commits governments to stop the production and dispersion of the so-called `dirty dozen` highly toxic chemicals. In addition, the Kyoto Protocol can enter into force and set the scene for further measures to address climate change if the Russian Federation accedes to it." "Decision makers across Europe must clearly recognise that adopting such measures will bring not only environmental and social benefits but also clear economic advantages at home," Mr Toepfer continued.
"When it comes to climate change, implementing renewable energy policies and other actions that lessen the huge financial burden of floods and other weather-related disasters will result in stronger, healthier economies. Rather than having a negative economic impact, the Kyoto Protocol can help stimulate clean economies that will benefit both the Arctic and Europe alike."
Prof. Jacqueline McGlade, EEA Executive Director, added: "Governments, regulators, indigenous peoples and the private sector need to work together to manage the Arctic's natural resources and use them responsibly and equitably. These and other measures will not be accomplished without genuine commitment at all levels, but Europe's connection to the Arctic more than justifies this commitment."
"The European Union in particular has the potential to take a leading role in catalysing the response of the Arctic nations," she continued. "Decision-makers need to take the current challenges seriously and find solutions to them through a structured process of consultation."
Indigenous peoples have managed the Arctic's resources in a sustainable manner for thousands of years but today it is industrialised countries, including EU nations, that are both the main users and the main sources of pollution affecting the region. The indigenous peoples suffer most of the adverse effects of this exploitation while receiving a relatively small share of the benefits.
By focusing attention on the Arctic, the report aims to contribute to the successful implementation of the EU's second Northern Dimension action plan, covering 2004-2006. Although the action plan's geographical priority is the Baltic area, it has the potential to address circumpolar and global issues affecting the resources and environment of the entire Arctic. The action plan, which includes a focus on sustainable development, is expected to play an important role in developing cooperation between the EU and regional bodies related to the Arctic, such as the Arctic Council.
"The contributions that the indigenous peoples living in the High North and the Arctic can make to this process, and the role they play in the stewardship of the region, are of key importance for the implementation of the new plan," Mr Toepfer and Prof. McGlade write in a joint foreword to the report.

More sensible rules are needed
After a shooting spree that killed four people in Santa Monica, Calif., the city's police chief talked with reporters. But critical information about the killer, a 24-year-old man, was not provided – because that would have made Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks a criminal.
Time and time again, Americans have witnessed the idiocy of political correctness involving mass murderers. That needs to change.
Had police not apprehended the Santa Monica murderer quickly, killing him in a shootout, the death toll might have been higher.
His motive still is being investigated. It also is being pondered by many Americans who wonder what, if anything, can be done to prevent such bloody rampages in the future.
One key is the past of those who engage in massacres. Recently, Seabrooks noted the Santa Monica killer had run-ins with the police seven years ago. She could not talk about them because he was a juvenile at the time. In most states, criminal records of those under 18 years of age are sealed.
Unfortunately, there are many reasons why it is difficult for the public – and sometimes even police investigators – to piece together psychological profiles of killers.
Another problem is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, known as HIPAA. It includes restrictions on what information can be made public about an individual's health care, including his psychological problems. In 2007, after Seung-Hui Cho slaughtered 32 people at Virginia Tech, details of his mentally troubled past emerged slowly, because of the HIPAA.
Earlier this year, there was some delay in releasing college records involving Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the brothers who exploded bombs at the Boston Marathon, because of federal privacy student privacy laws.
Researchers trying to unlock the secret of spotting homicidal personalities in the past – and the American public – should not be handicapped by privacy laws. Amendments to those statutes should be made as soon as possible, to allow more access to information about killers and how to stop them.

Owen Gall had to pay for college himself. With his gift, a student a year won't have to.
By GINA PACE
Published February 3, 2007
When Owen Gall graduated from Zephyrhills High School, 75 percent of the boys went on to college.
Granted, it was 1930 and there were only four of them.
Now, the school is 1,650-students strong and Gall wants more of them to have the opportunity to go on to a university. That's why Gall, who sold his family's citrus groves for development, recently donated $200,000 to the Pasco Education Foundation to establish a scholarship fund for Zephyrhills High graduates.
"I don't want any attention for this," said Gall, 94, when first asked about the donation.
But he eventually opened up about how his high school English and Latin teacher, Annie Gill, always encouraged her students to go on to college. He got a loan from the local Rotary club to attend the University of Florida and study agriculture.
"I didn't get encouragement from my folks," Gall said Wednesday. "I had to hunt up a way to get there myself."
Gall was born in Pensacola and spent his early years in Michigan, then moved to Zephyrhills in 1922.
"When we came to Zephyrhills, you might have been able to scratch up 500 or 600 people," Gall said of the population then.
After graduating from college, Gall worked in soil conservation before serving in the Army during World War II. He returned to Zephyrhills and worked in the citrus industry and owned a sand silica plant.
Over the years, he sold off nearly 350 acres that once grew citrus. Now, Florida Hospital Zephyrhills, Publix and other businesses are on the land.
Gall Boulevard, the main north-south artery running through the city, honors his father, Walter R. Gall, who used his influence in Tallahassee to get the highway routed through Zephyrhills.
Gall's daughter, Lisa Smith, who lives in Wesley Chapel, said her father's ties to the community, especially his friends from high school, have always been very important to him.
Smith remembers the four men from his graduating class meeting for coffee every morning. There were also two or three women in that class.
"He used to say I have a class reunion every day," Smith said. But now, "he's pretty much the last one left."
Gall lives now with his wife, Anne, at a home in Silver Oaks, right along the golf course. He can't believe how much traffic there is outside his neighborhood. The time in high school when he used to deliver to all of the Tampa Tribune's Zephyrhills subscribers seems far away.
Gerri Painter, the principal at Zepyrhills High, said the area is growing so much that the school faces overcrowding. People in the community are so attached to the school that they suggest adding on rather than opening a new one.
"It's a very special place," Painter said. "The community has a sense of ownership over the school."
Gall's donation will start a fund that will send one student per year to the University of Florida. That student must plan to study agriculture, education, pre-medicine or journalism.
It's the third-largest donation from an individual the foundation has ever received, said executive director Chip Wichmanowski.
"It has always been really important to him for people to have an opportunity to have education," Smith said of her father. "He's a very generous person."

Leave it to Amazon to come up with something a little different. The company has developed 14 new pilots – 6 for kids and 8 for adults – and they want the public to vote on their favorites. Translation – what would you like to see become season-long shows. Currently they are available for live streaming on Amazon.
The crowdsourced Amazon Studios looks like it is trying to compete with web-based original content producers such as Netflix. Obviously not all of the pilots will make it and be turned into multiple episodes. Among the adult titles are: "Zombieland,"(Four survivors are killin' zombies and searching for a home), "Betas," (Four friends think they've cracked the code for Silicon Valley success), "Dark Minions" (Rules, reports, a Galactic Overlord … just another day at the office) and "Browsers" (Fresh-faced interns face the music, and sing along with it).
Let us know which ones would you vote for?

Kennebunkport.� A short get-away.� Wanted to absorb the town's tranquility.� It had always been a refuge.� It's still fun, but no longer tranquil.� The Bush family, who once roamed the town acknowledged as neighbors from the point, transformed it by getting elected president.� On shop features logo stuff, marked #41 and #43. Cute.
Tourists enthusiastically criss-cross Dock Square, but dodging traffic on a weekend approximates Manhattan.� Allison's, the little greasy spoon where my brother once cooked breakfast, specifically "eggs with hats," now does lunch and dinner at much higher prices.� Breakfast elsewhere downtown overpriced and underwhelming.� However, it's easier to find an ice cream cone. And to its credit, the town has resisted turning into a mall.
Most of the old shops are gone, like the one that sold sturdy canvas bags and fowl weather gear.� The aging hippie artists making pottery have fled or retired.� And the beloved bookshop that overlooked the trickling river has closed.� A sleeker, if less funky, book shop has opened on the edge of town.
So has an Irish pub on the river's edge with live music performed in a beautiful atmosphere outdoors.� The staff doesn't exactly advertise it.� Recent exchange:
"Do you have live music?"
"I expect so."
"Does that mean you have a band."
"I expect so."
"Are they playing tonight?"
"I expect so."
"I don't quite comprehend, does I expect so mean yes?"
"I expect so?"
The candle shop remains a stalwart.� The best artisan shop on a corner of Dock Square has expanded. The White Barn upholds its standards.� So do many of the inns, the old wooden ones maintaining their musty chic, the new and polished ones, still others brimming with antique splendor.� And the honor parking continues, although a paid lot overflows.
Still, I miss the eggs with hats.
TO MAKE EGGS WITH HATS:� Take a slice or several slices of bread and cut a circular hole in the center with a sharp knife.� Melt butter in the bottom of a skillet.� Toast the cut outs in the skillet on both sides; remove from the skillet and set aside, keeping warm.� Put as many slices of bread into the skillet as it will hold, adding more butter, if needed.� Toast on one side.� Flip to the other side.� Break a whole egg into the center of the bread and cook until egg is nearly done.� It will attach to the toast.� Turn over gently with a spatula.� Transfer to a plate, and top with the cut out toast (the hat).

Fund established for pilot's family
December 2, 2006
A memorial fund has been set up for the family of Air Force pilot Troy Gilbert, whose F-16 jet crashed in Iraq last Monday.
Donations may be made to the Gilbert Family Memorial Fund, in honor of Maj. Gilbert, whose wife, Ginger, is a Clovis native. The fund was announced Saturday by the Bank of Clovis, the Clovis News Journal and the Portales News-Tribune.
People may drop off their donations either at the bank, 300 Main St., or the newspaper offices, 521 Pile St. in Clovis and 101 E. First St. in Portales. They will be deposited in a Bank of Clovis account.
Donations for the non-profit memorial fund also are being raised in Arizona, where the pilot was stationed at Luke Air Force Base near Phoenix. The jet he was flying was from a Cannon Air Force Base squadron.
The family has approved the fund, said bank president Randy Harris and newspaper publisher Ray Sullivan, and they thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers.
"The fund is another way for residents of the region and Cannon Air Force Base families to support the Gilberts in the coming months and years," Sullivan said. "While Maj. Gilbert wasn't stationed here, he was flying a Cannon plane. That and his family ties mean he is one of us."
Troy and Ginger Gilbert were married at Cannon. They have five young children and live in Glendale, Ariz. Her parents are Jay and Judi Gurley of Clovis. Jay Gurley is communications director of ENMR-Plateau, former president of Clovis Community College, and president of the Board of Regents for Eastern New Mexico University in Portales.
Gilbert was flying an F-16CG on a close-air support mission for ground troops under fire when the crash occurred Monday. The crash site is in an area 20 miles northwest of Baghdad where many Sunni-Arab insurgents operate.
Air Force officials said insurgents reached the pilot before U.S. forces, but that later some human remains were recovered. They would not elaborate, but said figuring out whether Gilbert is dead depended largely on those remains, which were undergoing DNA identification.
Officials have said they don't believe the jet was shot down and the cause is being investigated.

The Footprint Makes a Statement in the Sand
Global Footprint Network Partners Ecolife and WWF Belgium have collaborated with a Flemish TV Station to create a giant Footprint on the Belgian beach of Zeebrugge.
The impressive piece of art represents the Ecological Footprint of the average Belgian, at 5.6 hectares in area. This giant Footprint array, the size of 11 soccer fields, was displayed on the beach in November for a new Belgian television program that looks at our individual impact and the overall impact on the environment. The program also highlights the fact that the average Belgian Footprint is almost 4 times what is actually available for the average human on the planet, according to Global Footprint Network data.

The ice shelf is just racing along, an astonishing rate of change."the continent, and that ice, as it goes into the ocean, raises sea level around the world. And because so many people live at the coast, that draws our attention to Antarctica, and how fast the ice sheet is shrinking. We know that in the big picture, Earth is getting warmer and there's going to be less ice. But we don't know the details — how fast, how much sea level is going to go up — and that detail is really important because humans around the planet are so sensitive to even a tiny change in sea level.
Some say that we won't see these ice shelves disappear in our lifetime — I'm not so sure."to how rapidly that warming is going to penetrate the main continent, but the most recent results say that West Antarctica has been warming, too. The underside of the ice sheet and the ice shelves are vulnerable spots, and that's what our project is addressing. And that just goes back to what I said earlier — there's also heat in the intermediate layers of the Southern Ocean, and certainly at Pine Island and Thwaites. We're firmly of the opinion that heat is getting to the ice and causing these major changes. So even if you isolate Antarctica somewhat on the surface from global warming, there's this back door where heat is still getting to this part of the ice sheet.
The latest satellite observations show us that our very best models of ice sheet flow do not work."said, "We don't know if these numbers are right, because they do not include the most recent dramatic changes in ice sheet behavior, because we can't model that." So what it really said, to me, is that, "Here's some numbers, but don't trust the numbers because they're probably hideously low." But it was a call to action to my community, the ice sheet dynamic community, to get moving and provide the very best numbers that we can.

I am looking for at least one troop in each of the fifty states to join me in collecting books in your community to give to some kind of shelter in your area. Some places you can give the books to are, shelters, orphanages, children's shelters, women's shelters, or a place like the Red Cross. The purpose of donating the books is to show people that you care about your community and to provide a chance to escape to another world for a little while. Comic books, novels, even magazines will take a person out of their situation and escape to a better place. Have you ever just read a book and felt so invincible or like nothing else matters? Well that is what I want to do for people all across America, but I can't do it all alone. That is why I am asking for your help.
If your troop can help me, please notify me. I will provide troops with a 'getting started' checklist and additional ideas. I will need pictures of your troop. I plan to post the pictures I receive on my project's Facebook page (Connect Across America) and will provide you with a photo release form. Also, please make a journal or diary of what you as a troop have learned through the process and struggles and leadership and how you think you as a troop have done to help the community. Include times, dates, and feelings.
If you have any questions please contact me, Chelsea W. at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you would like to participate, please e-mail me by June 9. The second due date is for the project itself, June 23.

That stinks!!Posted Thursday, December 3, 2009, at 3:11 PM
Working retail stinks!! Literally!! I debated about doing this but after a recent run on cigarettes and go phone minutes,(surprisingly at the first of the month), I just HAD to! If you can afford cigs and phone cards surely you can buy soap!!
I had the unfortunate privilige of working for a major retail establishment for almost 2 years. Not unfortunate in working there but to be present when the people who find the above mentioned "necessities" more important than personal hygiene happened to meander through. Dragging a cloud of funk with them that would gag a skunk! It would settle over the whole department like a thick blanket just suffocating you! And there is no getting away!! It clings to your clothes and skin with the tenacity of napalm!!
I met many of these truly nice people during my stint there and this does not speak as an indictment of them as human beings. I just had to speak up and didn't really have the guts to say it to their faces.
I mean how do you politely tell someone that your odor has just brought a small amount of bile up into the back of my throat?!? So please for the sake of those who have to stand within stink bomb range of you. If you haven't bathed in over a week, this is for you! PLEASE!!! for the love of noses and all that is healthy, TAKE A SHOWER!!! Or bath, really any form of those that includes you have bodily contact with soap and water at the same time!!!
Thank you in advance. Oh! And you may need to burn those clothes too!!

Sorry no I haven't run out of steam but since I quit my second job I just don't seem to rant as much. I do have a new one in the works and I hope you will enjoy it!

Roy Kunkle, get off your duff and write another blog!!! We need you! You surely haven't run out of steam this soon!!!

Susan Sarandon was dressed fit to kill but wearing no shoes or underwear??? She must have thought, like the rest of us, that such attire (or lack of it) was the mode of dress expected in NZ! Hahaha!
-- Posted by goat lady on Mon, Dec 21, 2009, at 7:44 AM
There is egg on my face over this one. I have just read that Susan Sarandon showed up bare footed and allegedly sans underwear although obviously I am not in a position to confirm this !
-- Posted by wartz on Sun, Dec 20, 2009, at 1:49 AM
Hahaha! I figured that would get a rise out of you, Wartz! I read that during the filming of The Lord of the Rings, Jackson usually went barefoot!
However, since his directing was so brilliant, I really wouldn't care how scruffy he looked! I think he's positively brilliant!
I haven't seen "The Lovely Bones." I thought he was going to do "The Hobbit," but if he did, I don't know what happened to it.
-- Posted by goat lady on Sat, Dec 19, 2009, at 8:41 PM
GL; Interesting that you mention Peter Jackson. In today's newspaper there is an item concerning the NZ premiere of his latest film, "The Lovely Bones". Included are 'photos of the red carpet of course and featured is the lovely Susan Sarandon, dressed to kill and looking as fabulous as ever. Then we have the NZer, Peter Jackson, scruffy hair, mis-shapen jacket, mis-matched shirt, no tie, well worn jeans which are too long in the leg and finished off with hiking boots.
You are quite entitled to express the view that we are a filthy, scruffy, disrespectful lot if Jackson is representative of us. Fortunately, he is not !
-- Posted by wartz on Tue, Dec 15, 2009, at 1:40 AM
I'm trying I'm trying!! But this was a fun diversion anyway! Thanks for the welcome!! I hope to have a new rant soon. I have been ranting a lot but it is the same old topics that have been beaten to death already. Give me a bit, a good rant is never far away!!
-- Posted by Roy3 on Mon, Dec 14, 2009, at 10:02 PM
Enough is more than enough. Roy, save us and come up with another topic - this one is far too messy and I do not want to get into a slanging match with GL. She has been most accommodating and forgiving of my poor command of the language in the past.
-- Posted by wartz on Sun, Dec 13, 2009, at 3:27 AM
Oops, wartz, I hope I didn't offend you -- I was just teasing! You know - Crocodile Dundee is as far as most of us get in thinking of Australians -- and New Zealand is right down there next to Australia -- and Peter Jackson doesn't like to wear shoes...
Didn't realize that Canadians were raucous. I notice that Germans are, though.
-- Posted by goat lady on Sat, Dec 12, 2009, at 9:40 PM
I am sorry wartz! I did not intend the comments to seem as though I was offended. I was not in the least. I welcome all comments good and bad.
I was trying to have a little fun (albeit at your expense). I am still learning my way around blogsphere and need to learn how to use punctuation to convey the proper emotion or intent.
I am, however, confused about the right wing comment??? If I leaned anymore right I would be horizontal!!
Oh! and Canadians also say "eh" after every phrase. And when they say out or about it sounds more like oot and aboot. I only know because I grew up an hour from the Canadian border.
I do hope you will enjoy my future writing though and I will try to keep leaning for you.
-- Posted by Roy3 on Sat, Dec 12, 2009, at 8:44 PM
Roy 3 and GL
1. I do not smell and I am well aware of the purpose of soap when combined with water.
2. I am not offended by the error made in linking Australians with NZers. After all, we often mistakenly identify Canadians as Americans where the only difference seems to be that the Canadians are marginally more raucous.
3. I am disappointed, however, that the comments seem to be personal - save it for Hoon, his skin is thicker.
4. By the way, welcome back Hoon. Some of these blogs badly need a right wing emphasis.
-- Posted by wartz on Sat, Dec 12, 2009, at 7:35 PM
OH!! and redbirdfan74, don't forget to use soap too!! LOTS OF SOAP!!
-- Posted by Roy3 on Sat, Dec 12, 2009, at 11:58 AM
Now now goatlady!! First thank you for the positive encouragement, I hope I write stuff you can enjoy and identify with. Second calling a NZ'er Australian is fighting words. I learned that the hard way!
I hope I haven't struck a never with you wartz!! I mean if you have an aversion to water or soap this is not an indictment of you as a person. I am sure you are a very nice person (however you smell).
Just kidding!! I am not a doctor or a dentist so I can't write about that. But I'll bet they have some good stories!!
I hope to write more that you will like but leaving the employment of this retailer has calmed me down quite a bit. I rant less but I do still rant. Give me time hopefully you will enjoy the next installment and it won't take so long.
-- Posted by Roy3 on Sat, Dec 12, 2009, at 11:51 AM
Hey --- I just realized: Wartz is a New Zealander (really, he is!). Maybe he's used to smelly people in the supermarket!!?? I mean, how would we know what it's like down there? In the movies, Australians look as if they haven't had a bath in a couple of years!!
-- Posted by goat lady on Fri, Dec 11, 2009, at 8:05 AM
Roy, this was a good topic, & I enjoyed the stinky discussion! I hope you come up with more!!
-- Posted by goat lady on Fri, Dec 11, 2009, at 8:01 AM
Sorry there Roy I guess I will shower tonight..even though it is not the end of the month yet.
-- Posted by redbirdfan74 on Wed, Dec 9, 2009, at 9:04 PM
Great Scott! A few smelly customers in a supermarket? Hardly a problem I would have thought. How about a dentist coping with a dogbreath client or a medical practitioner conducting prostate examinations?
-- Posted by wartz on Wed, Dec 9, 2009, at 3:46 PM
Hahahaha! I love this blog!!!
Actually, that kind of person makes all sorts of strange choices. I have a friend who watched someone decide to buy the movie "Titanic," rather than toilet paper... She borrowed a roll from another shopper. You have to wonder about their judgment.
I was almost asphyxiated recently when a woman came in my office REEKING of cigarette smoke. Really, I coughed for 15 minutes after she left! Had to open the windows to air the office out -- and it was COLD!!
-- Posted by goat lady on Tue, Dec 8, 2009, at 8:17 PM
During my first year or so of college I worked at Barnes and Noble and I must say that I whole-heartedly agree with you on this. The sad thing is that most of these people have no idea just how bad they smell. I still think that telling someone they smell might be a good way to lose one's own job though.
Good stuff, Roy!

Revelation 3:14-19 If you were to read these verses you would find the foundation for this blog and have an understanding of the essence of me. I am a Christian! I am not ashamed or embarrassed to be so, nor will my obvious faults keep me from proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Every "rant" in this blog will have this fact at it's base. This in no way should be taken as me believing that I am right all the time. May I always be ready to accept the lessons that come only from being wrong! However I will be either hot or cold! May the Lord Jesus not find me to be lukewarm.

Windows XP Quality of Service (QoS) enhancements and behavior
This article was previously published under Q316666
This article has been archived. It is offered "as is" and will no longer be updated.
Networking Quality of Service (QoS) refers to a variety of techniques that prioritize one type of traffic or program that operates across a network connection instead of relying only on "best effort" connectivity. QoS mechanisms are built into both Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP. This article describes the enhancements in QoS that are available in Windows XP. References to the QoS features that were first introduced in Windows 2000 are also mentioned in this article.
QoS for Internet Connection SharingWhen one network is connected to another network through a slow link or connection, such as a dial-up line, a situation can exist that will increase the delay of traffic that is traversing the slow link. This delay occurs because of the speed mismatch between what the end stations in the communication know about, and the slow link. The slow link causes a bottleneck in the network path. This applies only to connection-oriented communication when you use TCP.
If the receiving client is running on a relatively fast network, such as a 100 megabytes per second Ethernet network, behind a computer that is running Windows XP with the Internet Connection Sharing service, and the server that this receiver is communicating with is behind a remote access on a fast network, the mismatch exists. In this scenario, the receiver's receive window is set to a large value that is based on the speed of the link the receiver is connected to. The sender starts out by sending at a slow rate, but if packets are not lost, the sender eventually sends almost a full window size of packets.
This scenario can affect the performance of other TCP connections that traverse the same network. Packets sit in a potentially large queue and wait to be transmitted over the slow network. If packet loss occurs, data has to be retransmitted, and this also congests the link.
The solution to this issue is to have the computer that is running Internet Connection Sharing on the edge of the network automatically set the receive window to a smaller size that is appropriate to the slow link. This setting overrides the receiver's specification. This setting will not adversely affect traffic, because the window size is being set as if the receiver were connected directly to the slow link. The QoS Packet Scheduler component that is running on the Internet Connection Sharing computer makes this window adjustment.
QoS for modems and remote accessAs of January 2002, many people still connect to the Internet through slow links, such as connections with speeds of 56 kilobits per second. Even with the limitations on the speed of the link, many users will run several programs at the same time that access the network. For example, users may simultaneously use downloads, e-mail, chat, and even audio or video streaming. Most of these programs use TCP as the underlying protocol for the transfer, and each programs uses its own connection or connections.
The first program to use the link will have exclusive use until the connection reaches a steady state. A steady state causes a full TCP window of data in transit. When the next program starts transferring data, the connection the program uses will be subject to a slow start algorithm that limits the amount of unacknowledged data that can be in transit. Because of the amount of data that is being transmitted by the already established program, the second program will take much longer to reach a steady state, and the transfer will be much slower for similar data sizes.
Windows XP implements a Deficit Round Robin (DRR) fairness scheme when the operating system uses a slow link. This scheme was available in Windows 2000. By default, the scheme is turned on in Windows XP when a slow link is detected. This scheme allocates several data flows and assigns new application data streams to these flows. These flows are automatically serviced in a round robin manner. This configuration provides better responsiveness and performance for network communications and does not require manual configuration.
Clarification about the use of QoS in end computers that are running Windows XPAs in Windows 2000, programs can take advantage of QoS through the QoS APIs in Windows XP. One hundred percent of the network bandwidth is available to be shared by all programs unless a program specifically requests priority bandwidth. This "reserved" bandwidth is still available to other programs unless the requesting program is sending data. By default, programs can reserve up to an aggregate bandwidth of 20 percent of the underlying link speed on each interface on an end computer. If the program that reserved the bandwidth is not sending sufficient data to use it, the unused part of the reserved bandwidth is available for other data flows on the same host.
For more information about the QoS Packet Scheduler, see Windows XP Help. Additional information about Windows 2000 QoS is available in the Windows 2000 technical library.
Correction of some incorrect claims about Windows XP QoS supportThere have been claims in various published technical articles and newsgroup postings that Windows XP always reserves 20 percent of the available bandwidth for QoS. These claims are incorrect. The information in the "Clarification about QoS in end computers that are Running Windows XP" section correctly describes the behavior of Windows XP systems.

After George unfortunately passed away, I was thinking how many songs he could've been recorded lately but not released before his death... May those really exist?? Well, all we can do is to wait...
P.S.: Sorry for repeating post, but I couldn´t delete it.

The United States Marine Corps and the Department of State have had a long and mutually beneficial relationship for nearly 65 years. The Marine Security Guard program was formally established in December 1948, and since that time, the two organizations have faced many challenges together. As a reliable line of defense and support in U.S. embassy emergencies overseas, Marine Security Guards have protected State Department facilities against anti-American riots and demonstrations, and have helped evacuate U.S. diplomats and their families during times of crisis.
Marine Security Guards stationed at an embassy entrance literally represent the face of America to members of the diplomatic community and citizens of the host country. They are a symbol of American values of integrity, courage, loyalty, and commitment. As a Marine Security Guard at a U.S. embassy or consulate, they do not just simply stand at "Post." They stand for America.
On November 10, Marines throughout the world marked the 238th anniversary of the Corps' existence and service to our nation. As Commandant of the Marine Corps General James F. Amos stated in this year's birthday message, "because of you, your selfless service, and your many sacrifices, our Corps remains strong and ready to respond to any crisis. Throughout history, Marines have faced tough times, and there will be tough times ahead, but there is no challenge we cannot overcome if we remain honorable and always faithful to our nation, our Constitution, and each other." Marine Security Guards show, every day, that they are models of the Marine Corps credo, "Semper Fidelis." They have always remained faithful to protecting U.S. diplomacy.
On this Veterans Day we honor and express our deep appreciation to our men and women in uniform, past and present. For those in the Diplomatic Security Service -- and indeed in the entire U.S. Department of State -- it is also an opportunity to show our gratitude and respect for all Marine Security Guards.

I've got some larger ones (approx. 100-150 ml) in the works with different profiles that I'll try to post later on. I've been making them a little bit lower/wider/larger in my most recent attempts. This one holds 75 ml at the point where the lid meets the interior of the cup. Thanks for looking and as always feedback is welcomed
PS I've been steep'n up some Da Hong Pao from out own IPT's shop in one of the seconds. It seems to taste a lot better and different brewed in my stoneware rather then the a commercially made gaiwan. What is that? Is it a heat retention thing, does shape of the interior have that much influence, or is it just my imagination?

At his Residenz in Aschau, the phenomenally successful Heinz Winkler has been at the pinnacle of German cuisine since 1991.
Heinz Winkler has left a lasting mark on gourmet cuisine in Germany – from starting out at Tantris to building up Residenz Heinz Winkler, his accomplishments have been extraordinary and he has influenced a whole generation of chefs. He quickly developed his own signature 'cuisine vitale', a classically based, produce-centred style of cooking, with the aim of presenting the finest ingredients as naturally as possible; in Winkler's words, 'to honour and ennoble' the food. This resulted in wonderfully light cuisine featuring highly flavoursome but not heavy sauces, with particular emphasis on herbs and vegetables, long before they became fashionable in the wake of the Scandinavian trend. Winkler's cuisine is contemporary and succeeds in delivering the maximum amount of flavour from only a few elements on the plate, which has always been his maxim.
Most of Winkler's dishes are astoundingly simple, but that is precisely what makes them distinctive. With his sturgeon fillet / lightly smoked / wasabi / shiso cress , the lightly smoked notes of the succulent piece of sturgeon harmonise wonderfully with the underlying, perfectly judged heat of the wasabi cream, brilliantly underpinned by the herbal shiso cress and texturally accented with a little keta caviar. Another masterpiece is his lardo-wrapped scallop in a fabulous but not overly dominant truffle broth and quinoa – Winkler gives the iodinous, nutty scallop a rustic cloak without overwhelming it – brilliant!

Except that it's almost exactly the same exact show! The only differences were tonight he added "Magical Mystery Tour", "Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da", "And I Love Her" & "(I Want To) Come Home", and he cut out "I'm Down", "I Saw Her Standing There", & "Calico Skies"...other than those 3-4 songs, the other 30 or so were exactly the same, and in almost the same order as well. Look I'm sure the performance was great but were talking about 90% the same set lists & shows.
That maybe the case, but my favorite Beatles songs are those... lol...

Research Summary
Dr. Zhang's research interests focus on two areas:
- Etiology and prognosis of adult malignancies
- Risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes
In particular, she has been studying various environmental exposures, lifestyle factors and gene-environment interaction in the etiology and prognosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. She has been pioneering the causes of increasing trends of thyroid cancer observed worldwide. Specifically, she is conducting a population-based case-control study in Connecticut to investigate radiation exposure, DNA repair capacity and risk of thyroid cancer, as well as a nested case-control study in the Department of Defense Serum Repository Cohort to examine flame retardants (PBDEs) and other polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons in relation to thyroid cancer. She has also been studying environment factors and gene-environment interactions for multiple myeloma and cancers of the testes, pancreas, lung, liver, and bladder.
Dr. Zhang became interested in adverse pregnancy outcomes because the fetal origin hypothesis suggests that growth and developmental delays in utero may influence not only childhood mortality and morbidity but also the risk of diseases in adulthood including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Dr. Zhang is currently establishing a birth cohort study in Lanzhou, China to investigate ambient and household air pollution and adverse birth outcomes. The birth cohort study has also collected information on various exposures (smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, occupation, residential history, medical conditions and medication use, diet, etc) and biospecimen (maternal and cord blood), which allows to comprehensively explore and identify risk factors for adverse birth outcomes and maternal complications.

HifideliTea wrote:The "taste factory" shelf life for this tea may have expired. Totally no flavour and taste. On the third infusion and longer steep times, dark liquid, but only little hint of oldness.
Despite it's blandness, are there any tangible properties drinking it, ie medicinal?
I'll try with more tea leaves in the next session.
Nevertheless, what recommendations do you have with these type of tea cakes? Into the trash bin? Blending? Airing?
Thank you.
HifideliTea wrote:Very odd. Took this back home, poured hot boiling water and it tasted very much better, very good huigan and high chi.
(water in office is not boiling but at a high temperature). One lesson - every tea has a different property and it's a trial and error thing.
Drax wrote:Did you have anything to eat beforehand? The problem may have been your taste buds.
Your office water may also have different mineral content that can also affect how you taste the tea (although I would suspect you'd have that problem with many teas at work, then).
Teaism wrote:This might be a "simulation" of Menghai Wild Arbor Bing inspired by the 1999 piece with quite a lot of difference in the wrapping paper and the tea quality/color. From the tea color, if there is no photographic misrepresentation,it looks too dark to be the age of sheng Pu that it intend to be. Can't really tell unless can see and taste it.
If you ask around, many tea wise men/ladies here would probably ask you to explore it carefully if you intend to keep this tea. It is interesting tea to come across for the experience of it.
Have a good day! Cheers!

By the end of the day, the beginning was so far away that I spent half an hour, while finishing orders and signing out, trying to remember whether or not I had eaten anything for lunch. It seemed as though a couple weeks had passed since then, along with an appropriate amount of excitement and emergency.

quote cheatingroxYou'll need to have from 80-100% paragon (apparently it's more the higher your level is) or 80-100% renegade.... then you can select one of the other speech options when talking to her.How do you get Paragon up? I just told Miranda to shut it, not expecting anything to go wrong. How do I fix this, if possible?
quote FresnopeYou can't get his loyalty now, but if you chose the right people he will survive.I have a quick question about loyalty. I didn't do Thane's loyalty mission right so he is the only member of my team without loyalty to me. I was wondering if there is anyway to gain it back to finish the suicide mission without him getting killed.
quoteOn a side note Zaeed wasnt loyal either. I guess if their all still all during that time, just take Miranda and Tali.during the suicide mission everybody survived cause I guess Garrus, Grunt, Zaeed, Jacob, Legion, Samara, and Thane were just super badass and babysat Jack to held the door. Mordin had been sent to help my crew.
quote Vanirno just dont pick her at all, even on your team. thats what i did. if you dont pick her she will be used on the AI's team (whoever you pick as the team leader) and she wont die, at least its really unlikely.So, if you just say screw Jack's loyalty...and you upgrade all your ships stuff, so she doesn't get a headshot from the laser, and then always have her on your team in the suicide...she lives?

The Beatles have allowed their 'Fool on the Hill' to be used over the opening credits in the new film 'Dinner for Schmucks'. The film is from Speilberg's Dreamworks. Apparently both Sir Paul and Yoko Ono have seen and like the film.
The late Neil Aspinall, who ran the Beatles' Apple Corps for almost 40 years was adamant that the Beatles identity not be demeaned or over exposed. I can't think of any other film or advert where their music was used, but I think Neil was right and very far thinking, and this put them in a league of their own.
Does anyone know of any other unrelated Beatle film/advert where their music was played? Obviously the 'Love' show by Cirque du Soleil did, but that was a celebration of their music anyway! I recently watched 'Nowhere Boy' and there were just little clips of John's 'Hello Little Girl' and 'In spite of all the danger' which was the first song recorded by the Quarrymen.
Do you think that the Beatles music would have been so enduring if we'd heard it regularly on advertising jingles and on films?
love and peace

"Periodontal" disease affects the tissues that surround teeth, such as gums. Poor oral hygiene has been shown to be a major cause of periodontal disease and prior studies have linked it to higher rates of cardiovascular disease. To further examine this link, researchers reviewed data from the Scottish Health Survey. The survey included reports from 11,869 men and women, average age 50, on a variety of health behaviors, such as frequency of tooth brushing. Survey participants were followed for cardiovascular events for an average of about eight years. A subset of people also had blood samples taken for a variety of health measures, which showed:

Reviews of this property
We really enjoyed our holiday. The apartment has a perfect location. In the apartment is all you need. There is a nice swimmingpool. The supermarket is across the road.Elizabeth is great at communication any issue arising promtly resolved. Don't hesitate booking
Perfect location for different activities: visiting Costa del Sol. but also Andalusia: Granada, Seville, ... In apartment is all you need during even longer stay. The owner, Liz, is very carrying person, she provides you all information you need, makes suggestions to arrange things, It was very helpful. There is a supermarket opposite the apartment. Apartments has two balconies - on one with a table where you can eat, sit, .., on the second one there are two beds, so you can rest, read, sleep, .... The apartment building is guarded, we felt very safe.
Once we go back to Costa de Sol, we surely will stay by Liz. Thanks a lot!
Très bon séjour en Andalousie (novembre 2015 et plein soleil)! Hôtesse très accueillante, tout ce qu'il faut dans l'appartement pour passer un séjour sans soucis :-) Situation du logement top (près de la mer, en face d'une supérette et de restaurants, dans un quartier calme (hors saison en tout cas) et possibilité de rayonner pour visiter les alentours (en voiture)). Très bon rapport qualité-prix.
