Tuesday Toddler Fun: DIY Finger Paint
No baby yet ... :)
but that's ok -- Monkey man and I have been having a great week -
lots of projects, play dates & long naps!
Yesterday we made some DIY Finger Paint -
it was SO easy and SO much fun ...
I thought I'd share the recipe with you!
{plus you probably already have everything in your pantry!}
Homemade {edible} Fingerpaint:
3 tbs sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 cups water
Food coloring/gel
Combine all the ingredients in a small sauce pan and warm until the mixture thickens. {p.s. don't walk away with the burner on high - it will turn into a gooey glob}. Once it cools, add the food coloring of your choice and place in containers! I didn't have any baby food jars, so I picked up these cute little containers at the Dollar Store. They came in a pack of 10 and were perfect!
That's it!
Now start painting!
Get messy and have some fun!
Get messy and have some fun!
I can't wait to show you what we did with the canvas he painted!!

SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego Padres still don't have a no-hitter after 5,919 games over 38 seasons.
Chris Young was the latest to try, taking a no-no into the eighth inning before giving up a leadoff double to Brad Hawpe. That was the only hit he allowed in eight innings as he led the Padres to a 2-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night.
Hawpe doubled down the right-field line on Young's first pitch of the eighth, his 99th of the night. Young (4-3) received an ovation from the crowd of 23,698.
"Really, I tried not to focus on it," Young said of flirting with a no-hitter. "Obviously it was in the back of my mind. More importantly, I wanted to preserve the lead and make sure that we win the ballgame. I'd give up 15 hits to get a win."
The only hit he gave up came on a first-pitch slider.
"Brad Hawpe's a great hitter," Young said. "He's actually a buddy of mine. We grew up playing together back in Texas. They've got a great lineup. You don't want to get wrapped up thinking about a no-hitter with an offensive team like that. They're too good."
Young said he and Hawpe played together in a summer league and against each other in high school.
Hawpe said he wasn't thinking about the no-hitter, either.
"I was thinking about getting on since we were only down by two," Hawpe said. "It was the only good pitch I saw from him all night. He wasn't overpowering. But he threw four pitches well."
Said losing pitcher Aaron Cook: "Tip your hat to Chris Young. He kept us off-balance all night."
And, Cook added: "He's huge."
The 6-foot-10 Young matched his career high with eight strikeouts.
It was the 11th time a Padres pitcher took a no-hitter into the eighth inning.
Padres manager Bruce Bochy said he was disappointed when Hawpe's hit fell in.
"We were hoping he could get it done," Bochy said. "It's tough. It's so hard to throw a no-hitter. That one just stayed up and stayed in the zone and it was what, fair by five feet? But the important thing there is he settled down. A lot of times you have a letdown. You're so caught up in the moment and you give up that hit. But he settled down and kept that run from scoring."
Before Hawpe's hit, the closest the Rockies came to getting a hit was when Todd Helton drove a ball into the gap in left-center that center fielder Mike Cameron caught about a foot from the fence for the first out of the seventh.
Cameron ran into the fence, but held onto the ball. Young watched the play, then exhaled.
"At that particular time it was a good play because you just don't want to give Matt Holliday an opportunity to come up there, the way he's been swinging the bat right now, with some people on base," Cameron said. "The game was still tight. We've got to make plays behind these guys."
Young finished the eighth by retiring J.D. Closser on a pop foul and striking out pinch-hitters Jason Smith and Ryan Spilborghs.
"That gets pretty intense there when you're getting that deep in the game and you haven't given up a hit. But what a terrific job he did," Bochy said.
Young had command of all four of his pitches, throwing them when and where he wanted.
"It just happened to be one of those nights where even when I made mistakes, they either fouled them off or even like Mike Cameron making an unbelievable defensive play," Young said. "It was just one of those nights that things went my way."
Trevor Hoffman came on and finished the combined two-hitter. He allowed a single to Helton before getting his 10th save in as many chances.
The Padres regained home-field advantage from the Rockies.
The Rockies won the previous four games between the teams at Petco Park this year, outscoring the Padres 37-12 and hitting 11 homers.
Colorado didn't have a chance against Young, who was obtained in a six-player trade with Texas on Jan. 4. The right-hander retired the first 11 batters before walking Helton and Holliday. Garrett Atkins flied out to right to end that threat, and Young retired the next nine batters before Hawpe's hit.
Young was coming off his shortest outing this season, when he lasted three innings in a 10-6 loss to the Atlanta Braves. He had only one win in his previous seven starts, and had gone seven innings only twice this year.
San Diego got its runs on an RBI single by Dave Roberts in the third and an RBI triple by Khalil Greene in the fourth.
Cook (5-5) allowed two runs and 10 hits in seven innings, struck out three and walked none.
"It was a funny game," Colorado manager Clint Hurdle said. "We were never in it but we were never out of it."
- San Diego remains one of four big league teams without a no-hitter. The others are Colorado, the New York Mets and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
- The last Padre to take a no-hitter into the eighth inning was Adam Eaton on July 3, 2004, against Kansas City. He was included in the trade for Young.
- Hoffman has 446 career saves, 32 behind all-time leader Lee Smith.

Cardalicious 4 & Awesome News!
Here's my card for the challenge at Cardalicious this week. We had to create a "give thanks" card. Be sure to stop by the site to see what the other designers created this week! I used some Melissa Frances papers I've been hoarding, a tag from 7gypsies, label stickers and chipboard circle from Scenic Route, and ribbon from Making Memories.
Here's my awesome news I've been itching to share...as of yesterday Glen and I are officially on the waiting list of families to adopt! Our adoption agency will start showing our family profile to birth moms which consists of our scrapbook, the video above and a one-page profile. Getting to this point has been quite the process...it took us a whole year! I feel like throwing a party so leave me a comment and I'll draw a random winner to receive a whole line of products from Rusty Pickle! You have until Friday to comment! :)
Edit...for some reason blogger is not showing comments on this post. If you click on the title on the top of this post, you should be able to comment. Thanks! :)
And two fun things today, don't forget to vote! It's such an important election! And the Twilight soundtrack was released today! Just a couple weeks to go until the movie!
Have a wonderful day! :)

Hey Jill - Another friend from the T.S. site. Ok, will you adopt me. I felt such emotion from your video. You two look soooo in love and it's very evident you have a LOT of fun. I have to admit I got a little teary eyed at the end. I'm a softie. All my best to you both and hope that you have a fulfilled family very soon.

Water pouring out of a washing machine's detergent tray.
Yes, gentle reader, I have spent time on a Sunday with my arms deep inside a washing machine. I received a panicked telephone call at 22:30 on Thursday to report that water was pouring out of the detergent tray all over the kitchen floor. I've seen this one before, so let me share the knowledge with you...
The drum spins inside a fixed drum. Towards the bottom of the fixed drum is a 1/4" (6mm) internal diameter pipe leading to a sensor mounted near the top of the machine, with wires to the control circuitry. This is the water level sensor. The rising water applies pressure to the air in the pipe and this acts upon a diaphragm in the sensor that actuates a microswitch and operates the solenoid valve to switch off the incoming water. Alternatively, the sensor fails, the water level rises until the drum fills with water and it overflows out the front of the detergent tray. But that's unlikely. What's far more likely is that the pipe becomes blocked and that prevents the water being switched off. The pipe pushes onto a sprue on the drum and that's where it gets blocked. Pull the pipe off and use a bit of bicycle brake cable to clear the blockage and reassemble. You can check the sensor by removing it and using the continuity test on your meter whilst blowing into it. This fix worked ten years ago on my Hoover and today on a Bosch. No need to spend money, just fix it yourself...

Very true. Some models are very prone to getting the pipe going to the pressure switch clogged with rests of detergent and fibres of clothes. Others are very unlikely to produce that failure, though. It's more of a design flaw.
Anyway, if the water outtake pipe had been plugged to an outlet at a proper height, water would have never been spilled. Optimum height is slightly above the maximum drum water level, which is achieved during rinsing. Any higher level would be spilled through the outtake pipe. Note that the pressure sensor usually has two, three or four contacts in order to achieve several water levels for different programs. Well, that is only valid for "old style" washing machines as I have not had the chance to repair any "new generation" one, but I suppose that they are now employing analog water level sensors and a microcontroller in order to achieve water saving (not to mention DC motors with electronically controlled torque and speed instead of the old school heavy synchronous ones).

No, the cats came pre-spayed as part of the cattery conditions of adoption.
Yes, the water sensor blockage thing is a design flaw, but I don't see that the height of the waste pipe final plumbing makes any difference. The waste pipe exits from the top of the washing machine, and as it can't remain full of water and siphon, overfilling the machine will always cause water to come out of whichever is lower. It's a close run thing between the tray and the pipe exit, so perhaps water exited by both. but as the waste pipe's plumbed into the sink trap, it couldn't be seen.

Ops... Thats another design flaw. The waste pipe should exit from the bottom or from the middle in order to allow for siphon effect to happen during overfilling.

Nope, design feature, it stops dirty water being sucked back into the machine during rinse cycles.

No water is ever sucked into the machine through the waste pipe. The pump always empties the drum before the next rinse cycle starts. Could you explain further?

From a washing machine tech:
Its more complicated than that; some machines have the pipe mounted at the bottom. The drawback is that if the pipe, when accidentally falling on the ground or mounted too low, empties the machine if filled with water. Other machines have the pipe mounted on top and sometimes come with a small pipe parallel to the big one. These pipes can be mounted on floor level without risk for the machine to siphon. The small pipe is actually filled with air but the exact principle escapes me. Those without the small pipe should be mounted high enough from the floor level to prevent siphoning as well. A second tech told me that the pipe is always mounted on top because a siphon is built in the machine to prevent it from smelling. I dont consider this as correct. Actually, it wasnt a tech but a salesman. /Hugo |

Indeed, having the waste pipe exiting from the bottom can cause all the water to spill if the pipe is dropped from the waste outlet to the floor. However, believe me that it (siphoning) comes very handy when you have to manually empty the drum when the pump or something else fails, or when you want to clean the waste filter without filling the floor with the small remaining amount of water that the pump can't exhaust.
I know because my grandfather spent a whole life repairing washing machines (among much other stuff) and I used to go all the time with him when I was a child. It was funny because he always asked me for a diagnose before starting to work

I should have known that on diyAudio an innocent post about a washing machine fault would provoke a spirited discussion of how washing machines work!

Rajoy Says Spain's 2012 Deficit Was Below 7% of Output
Ben Sills and Angeline BenoitPrime Minister Mariano Rajoy told his fellow Spaniards they've weathered the worst of the crisis as he announced the smallest budget deficit in four years.
Spain's 2012 budget gap was less than 7 percent of gross domestic product, excluding the cost of bailing out banks, and gains in competitiveness have laid the foundations for a return to economic growth, Rajoy told lawmakers in Madrid today. The yield on 10-year debt dropped 6 basis points to 5.14 percent at 2:50 p.m. in Madrid, almost 250 points below its July peak.
"The worst of the threat is passing into memory," the premier said as he opened the State of the Nation debate in parliament. "We have other challenges to face, but they will not be so grave."
Rajoy is seeking to turn a corner after the deepest budget cuts in Spain's democratic history and a corruption scandal roiled his party. He was spared having to request a full bailout by the European Central Bank's pledge to backstop euro-region debt last year.
The premier, who denies reports in El Pais newspaper that he received more than 250,000 euros ($335,000) in illegal cash payments, said he'll toughen sentencing for those convicted on corruption charges and force political parties to disclose more details of their financing.
'Clean Country'
"Spain is a clean country which is going through a difficult time and seeing corruption cases emerge just like any other," Rajoy said. "Disseminating the idea that Spain is a corrupt country is profoundly unfair."
The government will spur 32 billion euros of financing for small businesses through the state-owned Instituto de Credito and introduce a suite of tax breaks for smaller companies and entrepreneurs aimed at reducing youth unemployment of more than 50 percent and kick-starting economic growth, Rajoy said.
Economists surveyed by Bloomberg News forecast a budget deficit of 8 percent of GDP for last year, compared with a 6.3 percent target set by the European Union. The number includes European aid to recapitalize Spanish banks, which Rajoy's figure doesn't, and matches the European Commission's November prediction. The commission's latest assessment of the Spanish economy is due on Feb. 22.
September Revision?
"The question is whether this deficit number may be revised in September, as was done last year," Ignacio Conde-Ruiz, an economist at the Applied Economic Research Foundation in Madrid, said in an e-mailed response to questions. "There are a lot of doubts about the adjustment in the regions which won't be cleared up until the full breakdown has been published."
Spain's budget deficit was 9.4 percent of GDP in 2011, according to Eurostat's most recent data, compared with Rajoy's first estimate of 8.5 percent reported about a year ago.
The government plans to discuss the pace of its budget cuts with the commission and the International Monetary Fund to ensure the economic slump doesn't worsen, Budget Minister Cristobal Montoro said last week. Economy Minister Luis de Guindos has said he wouldn't rule out an easing of Spain's deficit goals.
While the Treasury has already covered almost 20 percent of its planned gross mid- and long-term debt issuance for 2013, it faces its highest borrowing needs since 2005, according to UBS AG. Its fast-tracked issuances are threatening to saturate the market at a time when debt supply is also fueled by companies and government-backed bodies.
The government is counting on strong exports and a reduction in its current-account deficit to restore investor confidence and contain borrowing costs to help pave the way to a return to growth as soon as this year. Data yesterday showed Spanish exports rose to their highest level since records began in 1971 even as a recession spread across the euro region.
"A year ago, nobody looking at Spain from outside would bet on it," Rajoy said. "Today, no one would say we could leave the euro."

Manilla folders, Carrying
Manilla folders are also valuable when you get busted sitting in someone else's office gossiping, trading advice about job offers, or just catching up on one another's weekends. As the boss passes by, say, "I'd tweak the numbers a bit and see if you can't make those figures match up," then pass the folder to your accomplice.
Never underestimate the power of a manilla folder.

Hey Jason--
Jennifer and Jimmy sent me to your blog. I'm a former high school librarian currently writing for the TV show Veronica Mars. But I miss the library world! Love this post about the manila folders and spread sheets. I also highly recommend the carry-a-clipboard-tuck-a-pen-behind-your-ear approach.

I whole-heartedly agree. I always have some official-looking papers scattered on my desk when I'm surfing the net. I have a friend whose technique is to periodically rush frantically to the copy machine and make a copy with a very bothered look on his face. Then he just goes back to his office and continues blogging or whatever.

I came upon this site while going from library blog to library blog. Thanks for the laughs! I work in a new branch of a library in the South..and man, I've done the clipboard....but the manila folder and the copier... *kisses fingertips* Muah! Perfection!
I'll be using these Monday! - 1:06 AM

What I want to know is
1. When should be write Manilla with 1 L?
2. When should be write Manila with 2 Ls?
3. When should either be capitalized, if not the capitol of the Philippines?
4. How do I get to write for Veronica Mars? - 3:53 PM

(We will be opening a new Asia section in the spring. The area is visible, but guests can't walk through it yet.)
Guest: "Excuse me, what is that over there?"
Me: "That's going to be our new Asia exhibit."
Guest: "Is it going to have panda bears?"
Me: "No, I'm sorry ma'am, its not."
Guest: "Why not?"
Me: "Well, all of the pandas that you see in zoos are actually owned by China, and the zoos have to pay $1 million per year to rent each panda. They even have to pay for any babies born, and have to sign a contract that all of the pandas belong to China. It's just too expensive."
Guest: "But I thought the 14th Amendment guaranteed citizenship to any baby born here! Those should be our pandas!"

How do you format a .csv file to import selected e-mail addresses?
Category: Email
What format should a .csv or .vcf file be in to import correctly. Are there field tags to show where the e-mail address should be positioned, for instance, in the comma-delimited data list? should a ,NULL, or ,, be used where there is no data for a field like the First Name?
Hello, Thank you for your question. I recommend following our full walk-through guide on how to "Import Email Accounts/Forwarders in cPanel" It explains the delimiters, and how to access the example .csv or .xls file from cPanel. It only requires 3 fields: (Email,Password,Quota) so none of them should be blank. If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below. Thank you, -John-Paul |

Some Thoughts on Shifting Awareness of How Things Connect and How Problems Are Solved
Posted by Glenden Brown in This Blog on September 7, 2011
Paolo Freire warns that "`Washing one's hands' of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral."
From Power and Love by Adam Kahane
If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.
Desmond Tutu
The moral component of leadership is the ability to understand and communicate the moral implications of our choices. Choosing policies that bailed out banks but not homeowners is a moral choice. Certainly, if we'd bailed out homeowners rather than banks, the economy would have played out very differently over the last few years. I think it's fair to argue that the financial crisis was a symptom rather than the disease, so in flushing god knows how much money into the financial system we were likely not addressing the underlying problem. In dealing with problems, you want to use your resources effectively – and to put resources where they will do the most good. Bailing out the banksters wasn't an effective use of resources. The financial sector consumed billions without actually helping the economy. In system wide problems, diffused solutions are more effective.
Participative Models: Progressive Scenario Planning
Posted by Glenden Brown in Participatory Leadership, This Blog on May 13, 2011
Imagine what would happen if progressives suddenly began talking, confidently, about The Pioneer Option in which America takes the lead on technological innovation, clean, renewable energy, and economic growth and development, in which we meet the future confidently, secure in our "Pioneer" values. Suddenly, progressives everywhere, when giving speeches or writing letters to the editor, are using evocative, powerful phrases that capture the sense of connecting America's best intentions from our past to our future. Imagine what would happen if progressives shared not only a common vision but a common language for articulating that vision. With Howard Dean's 50 State Strategy we got a glimpse of the impact it could have.
Compared to the challenges South Africans faced as Apartheid collapsed, our problems are less critical, though no less crucial. Adam Kahane was one of the leaders of the Mont Fleur process, which he describes in his book Solving Tough Problems: An Open Way of Talking, Listening, and Creating New Realities. Kahane's model boils down to crafting plausible and possible scenarious for the future then elimiating those which are either unworkable, untenable, or unpopular, to at last arrive at scenarios which feel realistic, sustainable and supportable. In the Mont Fleur process, out of a host of options, participants finally agreed on the "Flight of the Flamingos" – an image which became part of the language of South Africans as they discussed the enormity of the changes they were facing. This option was evocative because it conjured up the image of an entire flock of birds, lifting off a body water into flight – not all at once, but as a collective, every individual joining in the overall trajectory; as Kahane summarized it a scenario ""in which the government's policies are sustainable and the country takes a path of inclusive growth and democracy." The metaphor of the flight became part of the national discussion.
The scenario described was largely strategic rather than tactical – a general trend toward a specific type of policy and social relationships in the wake of Apartheid. Again, as Kahane describes it:
The Mont Fleur process, in contrast, only discussed the domain that all of the participants had in common: the future of South Africa. The team then summarized this shared understanding in the scenarios. The aim of such non-negotiating processes is, as Marvin Weisbord, an organizational consultant, has stated, to "find and enlarge the common ground."
Mont Fleur identified four realistically possible scenarios and their probable outcomes, and shared them with the nation (Ostrich, Icarus, Lame Duck and Flight of the Flamingos). These scenarios each contained risks and drawbacks, but they also represented possible and realistic avenues the people of South Africa might choose. The names of the scenarios serve as short hand for the actual content of the scenario.
Kahane's approach makes explicit that which is often assumed – it invites participants to state explicitly many of their assumptions; because it is rooted in what is actually happening right now, it also empowers participants to honestly assess the state of things.
Democratic politicians have been effective at resisting many of the demands of the Democratic base because they rightly perceive it as a collection of interest groups rather than a united movement with different areas of focus. Creating a shared scenario for progressive interest groups would counteract that but it would also make explicit the shared values and concerns of progressives making it easier for them to act and to pressure Democratic politicians. Making those values and concerns explicit would go a long way toward building a stronger and more effective coalition.
I go back to the analogy of a church. The choir, the sunday school teachers, the preacher, the janitor, the trustess, the volunteers who mow the lawn and the hospitality team are not competing special interests. They are all members of the church with different areas of focus, all of which serve to advance the overall goal of the church. If the choir has hundred year old hymnals and the pastor is preaching a contemporary, liberal theology you've got a problem. If the sunday school follows the common lectionary in planning lessons but the preacher picks and chooses passages according to her mood, you've got a mismatch. Getting everybody on the same page has power. And it doesn't just happen because we want it to.
So, if you think about the various aspects of the progressive movement in those terms – sometimes you've got to get the whole church together, have a sit down and sort out what you stand for. Obviously, Democratic politics are far more complex than a single congregation. You have a large, messy coalition with views spanning a large part of the political spectrum. The Democratic coalition includes center right politicians like Nebraska Senator Nelson, but also reliably progressive politicians like John Kerry. It includes pro-life as well as pro-choice individuals, strong supporter of gay rights as well as many individuals who would prefer the whole gay rights issue just went away. But, something must unite them as Democrats – seriously even Ben Nelson is a Democrat for a reason.
Imagine what it would look like if Dems could gather and unite behind a single, compelling vision.

A new documentary film drawing on rarely-seen archive footage from Zimbabwe, has rekindled a debate about President Robert Mugabe's 30-year descent into misrule.
Simon Bright's 80-minute film, Whatever Happened to Robert Mugabe, premiered in South Africa as his ruling Zimbabwe African National Union - Patriotic Front (Zanu-PF) used a regional summit in Johannesburg yesterday to disavow unity government Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, and push for elections as soon as possible.
Opposition leader Mr Tsvangirai, 59, became Prime Minister in 2009 under an agreement brokered by the South African Development Community to end a deadlock caused by Zanu-PF's dissatisfaction at its poor showing in the 2008 election. Zanu-PF told yesterday's summit that the agreement – which envisaged a range of constitutional and electoral reforms in the run up to free elections – was only for two years and has now expired. Some observers say Mr Mugabe, 87, is ailing and Zanu-PF want him well enough to campaign ahead of the next election.
Mr Bright said his film charts the fatherless, Jesuit-educated Mugabe's journey towards becoming Prime Minister of newly-independent Zimbabwe in 1980. It then looks at how a man who was feted by world leaders, including the Queen, ended up being written off as a pariah.
"I come from an activist family,'' said Mr Bright. "I refused to fight in the Rhodesian army and went to England. So when Mugabe came to power, he was a great hero to me, not least because I was able to return to my country. I joined the Agriculture ministry and later made films which were effectively Zanu propaganda.''
Bright's film includes rarely-seen Zanu-PF election broadcasts, including one that shows a car crashing into another as a warning of how badly things can go wrong if you don't vote for Mugabe's party.
Another memorable scene – presented as Africa taking Britain on a merry dance to majority rule – shows Zambia's music-loving President Kenneth Kaunda waltzing with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher at the end of the 1979 Commonwealth summit in Lusaka. Mugabe is shown in younger days with his popular first wife, Ghanaian Sally Hayfron, who is considered by many to have been a benign influence until her death in 1992.
Mr Bright said: "The first 15 years [of Mr Mugabe's rule] were a series of magnificent achievements, then towards the end of the 1990s things began to change because Mugabe basically decided to stay in power."
Among those featured in Bright's documentary are Zanu founder Edgar Tekere who died last Tuesday. In his last interview, Mr Tekere said Mr Mugabe was strongly influenced by Sally and that, in her absence, he did not have the strength of character to stand up to liberation war veterans' demands for higher pensions. Their agitation for compensation in 1997 directly led to the occupation of hundreds of commercial farms and the departure of thousands of white Zimbabweans.
But another Mugabe critic, former guerilla leader, Wilfred Mhanda, insisted Mr Mugabe was always determined to hold on to power. Mr Mhanda insists the changing world order and Mr Mugabe's consequent creeping obsolescence in the eyes of the West was the biggest determining factor. "He did not change. Circumstances changed. The world no longer would tolerate his excesses," Mr Mhanda said.

Mac CAD: COFES is over, what next? Tidbits hearsay
COFES and Parasolid
I understand the COFES 2004 went very well and to record attendees. The event led to a surprise announcement by UGS PLM Solutions that they were porting Parasolid -- their 3D modeling kernel technology -- to the Mac OS X platform due to customer demand. This was good news for the Macintosh technical audience. Parasolid is a fundemental technology in dozens of engineering software tools and this annoucement of OS X support enables ISVs (independent software vendors) to port their wares to OS X as well.
Negative Mac Sentiment?
CADServer ran an article yesterday throwing some cold water on UGS' announcement of Parasolid on OS X. It appears that the SolidWorks folks are not too interested in supplying their market leading application on anything other than Windows. They said they are " '100 percent focused on delivering SolidWorks on the Windows platform' ". What other company does that sound like?
Apple at Auto Engineer Show - Strong Interest and Surprises
Apple recently participated in the 2004 Society of Automotive Engineers World Congress back in early March by supplying two email/web browsing lounges at the show featuring 16 widescreen edition G4 iMacs. Apple also had a booth at the show demonstrating its new Power Mac G5, G5 Xserve and Xserve RAID. Additionally the company was showing PowerBooks in its booth and by a few reports PowerBooks could be seen on the show floor.
According to acounts, Apple's booth was well attended the entire time of the show and folks were both surprised and excited to see Apple there. Apparently, from what we learned, many engineers were unaware that Mac OS X was Unix based. Surprise surprise! It seems that Apple needs to do a better job of making its presence known in the market and making sure people understand the core technologies that make the platform attractive.
What's Next
As previously mentioned on this site, Apple was at COFES as a participant and we expect the company to continue with its push into science and technical markets, including creative technical markets like AEC, CAID, CAD, and engineering software. The company has obviously gained some traction among these market segments -- and with its new Unix-based OS and 64-bit hardware it's not hard to understand why. Apple recently said at the BioTech show in Boston that the Mac OS X platform had 35 percent marketshare in biotechnology.
NAB is on the agenda next (according to Apple's calendar) but we also expect the company to attend SIGGRAPH later this year after many years of avoiding that show. We are hoping that Apple will also make a deliberate presence in the AEC market sometime later this year.

by Vars, Gordon F. - Beane, James A. Curriculum integration has long been proposed as a way of organizing the "common learnings" or life skills considered essential for all citizens in a democracy. Curriculum is organized around real-life problems and issues significant to both young people and adults, applying pertinent content and skills from many subject areas or disciplines. The intent is to help students make sense out of their life experiences and learn how to participate in a democracy (Beane, 1997). The last decade of the 20th century witnessed considerable interest in curriculum integration, especially at the middle level. Paradoxically, at the same time, schools were being subjected to increasing pressure for "accountability" and for "standards-based reform." These demands have been accompanied by high-stakes testing, a standardized, subject-centered curriculum, and sometimes even scripted teaching lessons. This trend continues today. How can curriculum integration survive under such circumstances, since it is clearly at odds with many of the teaching and testing methods that have been advocated within the standards-based reform movement? This Digest suggests how middle level schools can, at the same time, reap both the benefits of genuine student-centered, integrative curriculum and instruction (Beane, 1993, 1997) and also develop student competencies in state-mandated standards so that students can make acceptable scores on typical standards-based tests. The Digest also identifies some sources of "integrative standards" and cites research on student academic achievement in various types of integrative programs that may provide some reassurance for today's educators. STANDARDS-BASED CURRICULUM INTEGRATION One deterrent to curriculum integration is the fact that most state standards and proficiency tests are set up in terms of conventional subject areas, such as reading, mathematics, science, or social studies. Another huge problem is the sheer number of competencies specified in the standards. One research team estimates that it would take even a very competent student nine additional years in school to reach acceptable performance in all of the standards recommended by national organizations! Why not just ignore the standards and focus instead on facts and skills that are most likely to be on the state tests? Drilling students on these sample questions may raise students' test scores a bit, but this approach hardly qualifies as education and is guaranteed to make school and learning even more distasteful to students than it is to many today. Fortunately, three educational "think tanks" have compiled lists of "generic" competencies that cut across discipline and subject lines. Integrative curriculum should emphasize these "common learnings" or life skills. 1. "Schoolwide Goals for Student Learning" (NSSE and ACR). One carefully designed set of common learnings has been developed by the National Study of School Evaluation (NSSE) and the Alliance for Curriculum Reform (ACR) (Fitzpatrick, 1997). They examined the proposals of the various academic professional organizations and identified goals that are common across several specific subject standards. Those common learnings, called "Schoolwide Goals for Student Learning," are divided into (1) Learning-to-Learn Skills, (2) Expanding and Integrating Knowledge, (3) Communication Skills, (4) Thinking and Reasoning Skills, (5) Interpersonal Skills, and (6) Personal and Social Responsibility. Rubrics suggested for evaluating student performance in each of these areas are stated in general terms. However, their examples of "Performance Indicators" are "Discipline-Based," as are the Program Evaluation Guides used for evaluating specific school programs or services. Thus, the structure of the handbooks may handicap schools in their efforts to make sure "that their instructional and assessment efforts contribute to a coherent curriculum" (Fitzpatrick, 1997, p. xi). 2. "Core Standards" (CORD). An even more comprehensive approach has been used by the Center for Occupational Research and Development (CORD) in Waco, Texas (Edling & Loring, 1996). CORD identified common learnings embedded in standards proposed by both academic organizations and also by groups advocating "workforce education" (businesses, industries, and vocational educators) and created a database of 38 sets of proposed standards. From these, they pulled out 53 "Core" standards that describe a broad array of competencies, from "general housekeeping" to statistical analysis and computer literacy to ethics and self-concept. What CORD calls Integrated Standards also have been generated for various occupational fields such as business, engineering, the arts, and service. Field tests of this approach to both common learnings and integrated curriculum are going on in 12 states, and 14 curriculum packages are being developed to help school personnel implement the process (Edling & Loring, 1996). 3. "Life Skills" (McREL). Researchers at Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning (McREL), a regional educational research center in Aurora, Colorado, also began their search for "essential knowledge" by building a standards database incorporating 116 national standards documents in 14 content areas (Kendall & Marzano, 1999). In the process, they identified a set of "life skills," which they described as "a category of knowledge that is useful across content areas as well as important for the world of work" in four areas: (1) Thinking and Reasoning, (2) Working with Others, (3) Self-Regulation, and (4) Life Work. Note the similarity to the "Schoolwide Goals" of NSSE/ACR and the "Integrated Standards" of CORD. Any set of these standards-based common learnings or, better yet, a composite of all three would provide a much-needed focus in curriculum planning at all levels and could be especially important in designing integrative curriculum. Some providers of teaching materials are beginning to get the message. For example, the Performance Indicators available from Sunburst Technology include a "General" collection dealing with collaborative lifelong learning, class participation, work habits, and problem solving. USING STANDARDS IN CURRICULUM INTEGRATION Teachers may deal with standards before, during, or after engaging students in planning learning experiences focused on their personal and social concerns. Core teachers sometimes "back-map" a completed unit to show students and parents where they had been dealing with content and skills typically taught in separate courses. This sort of "after-the-fact accountability" is even more essential today (see Brodhagen, 1995). Identifying and labeling the standards and competencies included in a unit not only provide evidence that standards are being addressed but also may reveal competencies that merit further attention in succeeding units. Teachers are ultimately responsible for what is taught, but they should not have to bear the entire standards burden. A much better approach is to invite students to join with them to make sure that mandated competencies are addressed. When students understand the standards that are to be met during any particular year, they can suggest many creative ways to address them within units focused on their personal and social concerns. As long as the number is not excessive, posting the major standards in the classroom is a good reminder for both teachers and students. Inviting students to help in the process gives them excellent opportunities to develop critical thinking, demonstrates that their ideas are valued, and helps them to see that education is a matter of serious concern for our entire society. Perhaps if more people had gained this kind of insight while still in school, there would be more support for the schools today! RESEARCH ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INTEGRATIVE CURRICULUM It is still too early to obtain reliable data on how students in integrative programs fare on state proficiency tests. However, recent analyses of studies (National Association for Core Curriculum, 2000; Vars, 1996, 1997; Arhar, 1997) point to the same general conclusion: Almost without exception, students in any type of interdisciplinary or integrative curriculum do as well as, and often better than, students in a conventional departmentalized program. These results hold whether the combined curriculum is taught by one teacher in a self-contained or block-time class or by an interdisciplinary team. For the most part, these results were obtained using standardized achievement tests designed for a conventional separate-subjects program. Most standardized tests are normed- scores of individual students are compared with the mean or average of whatever group is considered "normal." In contrast, current state tests may have arbitrary cut-off scores that all students must meet in order to "pass" or be considered "competent." In other words, the rules of the assessment game have been changed radically. Furthermore, the quality of many statewide assessment measures has been widely criticized, raising serious questions about the morality of using them to determine a student's grade promotion or high school graduation. It will probably be many years before problems in the assessment of student performance are solved. In the meantime, educators considering curriculum integration will need to proceed carefully and take full advantage of the decades of research and experience with this potentially powerful way of designing and carrying out education (Vars, 1993; Beane, 1997). It also is important to keep all stakeholders-students, teachers, families, and the general public-both informed and involved in continuing efforts to provide every student with meaningful learning experiences. CONCLUSION Integrative curriculum in the new millennium will have to deal with societal expectations, as spelled out in standards and state tests, while still giving primary emphasis to student needs, problems, and concerns. Using any of the standards-based formulations of common learnings can make societal expectations more manageable. Then students can be invited to share in addressing those expectations as they and their teachers plan learning experiences. FOR MORE INFORMATION Arhar, Joanne M. (1997).

Masked Ball, 1945, by Rafal Olbinski |

The Willow Manor Ball is this Sunday!
29 comments:
I'm running late. I've asked Eleanor of Aquitaine to be my partner for the evening, but she still hasn't replied.
ReplyDeleteI just cannot believe it is that time of the year again Willow - it seems no time at all since I was waltzing round your dance floor last year. My arthritic knees are getting a bit past it, but I suppose in blogland all such things have vanished and we are all young again.
ReplyDeleteSo looking forward to my fourth ball at the Manor. Placido is coming with me. I did ask Boris Kodjoe but Nicole Ari didn't seem to think it was a very good idea. Something about their children thinking maybe I was a cougar!
ReplyDeleteTho i will be attending, I dare not bring a date. The self imposed loneliness fuels my perceptions of tortured genius and mysteriousness.
ReplyDeleteI will try to make it, but my date (who prefers to remain anonymous but LOVES to wear a mask!) hasn't let me know if he'll be able to swing by.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the invite Tess. Bee has encouraged me to come. Already posted my choices of masks on Sidetracked Charley. Think I have decided on my coat and the luggage. Have invited Johnny Depp as he was just in Angel Fire working on the Lone Ranger. Do not know if he is comlng as Tonto or Capt. Jack Sparrow.
ReplyDeleteRepliesThe coat is divine - to die for! A hit with Tess I should think.
Johnny Depp??? Careful..............maybe he'll bring a barrel of rum although that would be terribly infra dig at a Willow Manor Ball.Aye aye Cap'n. I'll be sending them ahead so it won't look as though I just stepped off a banana boat!
- AnonymousThu Oct 25, 07:00:00 AM
i may come masked of course
my date will also be masked, should she decide to attend
more committed i cannot be
for Vague Mystery is my name
and V. M. are letters that fall
in the same alphabet as
my REAL Name letters sleep in
when after midnight
the clock struck
my mask comes off
to reveal
yet another.
I eagerly practice my steps in the predawn burgeoning light
[elipses please Maestro!] I am so ready! My gown is hanging in the dressing room, my jewels are on the dressing table, and I've put my mask next to my evening purse, so I'm sure not to forget it. Wait until you see my date, Willow. I know I'm going to be the envy of every woman at the ball. You're on central time, is that right?

RE: Cockrell
Hi Ken,
No we are not related to the Cockrell's. You are talking about the ones in Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Bell City, Stoddard County, MO aren't you?
We were just at the cemetery on Tuesday and were taking photos of the cemetery to put on line for future generations. When we got to the Cockrell's we were wondering if Mae & James were married. So we went on Ancestry.com and found all the information I have asked to have updated.
Sorry, I couldn't be more help.

RE: Taylor in Elmer
Go to the father Taylor memorials that you have done. At the bottom is a number. That is thier memorial number and then you would go to his wife's memorial and click on Family Links and boxes labed Father, Mother and Spouse would pop up. Put the father's number in the mother's spouse box. then the father's memorial will show her name and her number as his wife. For children, go to the memorial and click on Family Links and the same box will pop up. Put in your fathers number and then the mothers number. They will then appear on her memorial as her parents and she will in turn automatically appear on their memorials as their child. You can link parents and children from other cemeteries also. Like if one child was buried in the same cemetery and another in an Iowa cemetery. Put in the memorial number and they will link together. Then others can click on that link and find the memorial for the parent or child. I hope this helps. Find a Grave is a wonderful invention and it takes a while to figure out how it all works. Thanks for being willing to try to link the family. Also I know all the children of Jim Taylor. I went to school with JR, Bob, Debbie and Greg.

Driving back towards Florida along I-95, I stopped for lunch at a restaurant called Lone Star Barbecue & Mercantile in Santee, SC. This place was located in a complex of several old wooden houses right outside of Santee State Park.
Lone Star offered both a menu to order from as well as a buffet. I decided to try their buffet.
My first plate of food samplings included pulled pork, collards, black eyed peas, macaroni & cheese, tomato pie, and corn fritters. Most of the food on the plate was tasty. The pork was nice and tender. The corn fritters were on the dry side. The tomato pie was an interesting food that I had never tried before. It was basically layers of bread and slice tomatoes, baked together in a creamy sauce. It was interesting, but not something I'd go out of my way to order.
Second plate included fried chicken, rice topped with some sort of pork stew, lima beans, cole slaw, and hush puppies. Chicken had good batter. The hush puppies were definitely better than the other corn fritters that I tried on my previous plate.
For dessert, I tried some blueberry cobbler, banana pudding, and chocolate pudding. The blueberry cobbler was definitely the best of the three.
I do enjoy trying these little independent places on my trips. Lone Star Barbecue was only about a mile off I-95 and was a far superior choice to stopping into a Subway in a truck stop for some travel food...

American distance running coach, Mahon has coached many notable long distance and middle distance runners, including Olympians Deena Kastor, Anna Pierce, Ryan Hall and his wife, Jen Rhines. In 2011 he coached Morgan Uceny to the number one world ranking in the 1500 meters. He also coached ultra-runner Josh Cox to the second fastest 50k time in history, and guided Irishman Alistair Cragg to a new National Record in the 5,000 meters. Mahon attended Villanova University as an undergraduate, where he was an All-American runner. Mahon ran a 2:13:02 in the Chicago Marathon in 1997, and won the U.S. 20 k Championships. He qualified for the Olympic Trials in both the marathon and 10,000 m. Safe to say he knows a lot about athletes because he was a great one himself.

When doing smooth frame, I try to lift up my chest and push down my lats and pull in my butt and all of that stuff that my coach tells me to do, but my neck is getting kinda sore. Maybe from leaning back too much? Any advice? I'm not actually leaning back very far.
I'm sure the guys will help you out with this one, but my questions are: Are you letting your shoulders relax? Are you clenching your jaw? By the way, welcome!
I find there's a connection between my neck and what I'm doing with my lower back. Of course it all depends on what posture you are starting out with when your coach gave you adjustments to make, but I find that over-tucking my butt can put stress on my neck. I find the right position is more a matter of carrying the weight of my pelvis forward over my feet, rather than trying hard to tuck/rotate it forward.
I know what you're talking about... It sounds like you're pulling in too hard. Do a couple of shoulder rises. (Pull your shoulders up to your ears and down until your muscles are warmed up. Really squeeze your shoulders upward.) Then let your shoulders relax and gently roll them back for good measure. That relaxed feeling lets you feel how low your shoulders can be without dropping your chest. Then, don't think of pulling in your butt, so much as tucking it in a little. It's not a very big movement, but it takes pressure off the small of the back and all the way up to your neck. (Also, helps you to keep from locking your knees.)
dang...seems like i am forever being told to stick my butt out...maybe your hips are too far forward causing a backward lean and neck tension...dunno...but welcome, btw
I don't think I've ever been asked to stick mine out F - its usually to do the opposite to straighten my back
well, I 'spose it depends upon the initial mistake...I tend to tuck the hips in too far and lean back....at least I used to
Thank you! I'll try the stuff you guys mentioned with shoulders and butt and such! Hopefully my neck will stop hurting. <3
Please let us know how it works out. I find I have the same issue--neck gets very very tense and sore, and my lower back as well. Haven't figured out anything that works.
I know IME butt-tucking would take me out of natural alignment and put strain somewhere in my upper body because of loss of counterweight... Am no longer a fan of the butt tuck, heh.
Yeah, the loss of the counterweight thing tends to hurt my upper body. But without it, my lower back just kills me. And regardless, I feel contorted and can't figure out how I'm supposed to move like that. (What sadist came up with that position, anyway?)
I hear ya, peach...it can be frustrating to sort out how to pull all the bits & pieces together to both get the job done and feel comfortable. Am finding that being aligned and balanced always makes the movement easier, and feels so good...the trick is figuring out how to make that happen. Easier said than done when you're moving.
I guess like everyone else, I have had different instructors come at it from different directions to explain how to develop the right back line for your dance posture. So far the technique that has helped me is the one provided by Marina Tarsneov and that is to imagine a someones fist pushing into the area just above my solar Plex and just below my chest bone. From there I try to relax my shoulders and roll back them over my shoulder blades. I really don't think about tucking my butt in. Once accomplishing that I thnk more about being tall, feeling light and aligning myself over myself (all the blocks of my body are in alignement). Now, if I ever get there, then keeping this position for the next 90 seconds in another matter. Good luck.
It's hard to tell what's hurting your neck without actually seeing it. But you might get a sore neck as a result of having your head behind their feet. You may want to check and make sure that your head is always over your feet, and your ribcage is over your toes. This provides more support for the neck and upper body in general. I've had some neck pain personally sometimes when I'm dancing with a man who isn't stretching very much to his own left (meaning he's too square), and this usually happens in viennese waltz. When I find myself in this situation, I take more of an upright, vertical or "square" position than I normally would, and this tends to protect my neck from pain throughout the dance. I've only had this experience social dancing though, so I do what's necessary to protect myself without correcting the partner. If this were to happen with a regular partner, I would examine both of us to find the problem. Sometimes in a regular partnership it's hard to tell where these issues are originating, so you may have to look at the whole picture rather than just at yourself. Edit: By the above statement I don't mean to automatically blame your partner. Just don't rule out the possibility. ;P
swkiggy, I find I have neck problem only during reverse turns. How about you? Did it happen in both directions of VW?
It happened to me in both directions. It's possible to have trouble in the reverse turns from twisting your neck too far left into the turn. It might be helpful to think of dancing your head directly backing diagonal wall when moving backwards in order to avoid the overtwisting.

Circle Worksheet.pdf - Section 1: Introduction to New Material
Partitioning Circles
Lesson 7 of 8
Objective: SWBAT partition circles into halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, and sixths.
Introduction to New Material
For the last few days we have been working on dividing squares and rectangles into equal parts. Today we are going to work on dividing circles into equal parts.
I hand each of my students the worksheet attached which has five circles printed on it.
Using your pencil, I want you to divide circle A into two equal pieces.
I allow students to divide their circle into two equal pieces. Then, I ask them to share their work with a partner, explaining how they know each section of their circle is equal.
When we divide a whole into two pieces, we call it halves. You can see the word halves written underneath circle A.
Now, I want you to divide circle B into three equal parts with you partner. Draw lightly so you can erase if your circle is not divided equally.
(Note: students might have a difficult time dividing their circle into thirds. I allow them to work with their partner and reason through this problem, stopping only to ask guiding questions: Are the pieces of your circle even? How do you know? How else could you draw the lines to divide your circle equally? It looks like you have _____ equal pieces / _________ unequal pieces. How could we change our lines to divide our circle evenly? )
After giving students time to puzzle through this work, I have at least one group share out their work explaining their process for figuring it out.
When we divide a whole into three pieces we call it "thirds". You can see the word "thirds" written beneath circle B.

Guided Practice
You are going to work in groups of two or three to complete the rest of this worksheet. Use the word in teach box (fourths, fifths, and sixths) to determine how many pieces each circle should be cut into. As you work, make sure that you are being accurate and that your circles are divided evenly.
As students work, I circulate, checking in to make sure that students understand how many equal pieces they are supposed to divide their circles into.
When finished, I hand each student a piece of tape and have them hang up their worksheet on the board or around the room. I bring students back together and explain that we are going to do a gallery walk:
During the gallery walk you are going to look at your teammates' work and the ways that they divided their circles. As you walk around you are going to think about the following questions ( I write these questions on the board)
--Are the pieces even?
--Did this person divide his/her circles differently or similarly to mine? How so?
I allow the students 2-4 minutes to walk around and look at each others' work. As they walk, I also walk around observing the work and asking students the questions I outlined above.
When finished, I bring the class back together and give each student a reflection sheet. I have students work independently to fill out their reflection using the information they gleaned from the gallery walk to influence their answers.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Independent Practice
During the independent practice, students work independently (or in partners) to make a poster. I start by handing every student a large piece of construction paper and asking them to divide it into two columns and three rows. We then write halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, and sixths in each box (see Poster for more detail). Students then cut out circles and paste them in the appropriate box.
As students work I circulate and support students who are struggling and ask guiding questions:
1) How do you know this circle has ______ equal parts?
2) How are these circles similar/ different?
Resources (3)
During the closing, I have students bring their completed posters to the rug. In partners, they share their work explaining the differences between halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, and sixths. When finished, I pick 2-3 students to share their work to the class while other students listen.
