Wow! Just, wow! That was pretty much the crux of our first impressions of HTC's latest Android-based smartphone, the Legend. With a chassis carved from a single piece of aluminium, with a beautiful sandblasted finish, this is one stunning looking device. As Gordon rightly pointed out at the World Mobile Congress, the Legend looks and feels somewhere between the first generation iPhone and the new unibody aluminium Macbooks, and we mean that in every possible good way.
However, there are a few immediate problems. First, contrary to what you might expect, matt aluminium like this still scratches fairly easily (though less so than plastic) and over time can be polished to a shine on exposed edges and corners. As such we'd be inclined to keep the Legend in some sort of case – I'm a big fan of the leather slip, like this one I use with my iPhone – that protects the phone when in transit but doesn't hide its design or inhibit its functionality when in use. However, due to the Legend's jutting jaw profile such cases can't be used. Aesthetically, we don't mind it and we appreciate it's a design feature that harks back to the first Android phone, the G1, and this phone's direct predecessor, the HTC Hero, but on a practical level we think it's something that needs to go.
On a more positive note, the power button on the top, volume rocker on the left edge, and central circular select button all feel very solid in terms of fit and have a superbly light yet defined action. The new optical trackball (the sensor for which sits in the middle of the central button) also looks great and works well. However, we still think that such things are largely unneeded on touchscreen phones – pin-pointing a cursor in text is about the only task we regularly used it for. Sadly it isn't a clean sweep when it comes to button quality, with the four black ones under the screen being a little wobbly, and sometimes leaving you unsure if you've pressed them properly. We also maintain that Android phones simply have too many buttons – all three of the Menu, Back, and Search buttons can easily be replicated in software without any loss of functionality.
There are no alarm bells when it comes to connectivity, though, as the Legend sports a conventional 3.5mm headphone jack on its top and a micro-USB socket on the bottom for connecting to a PC and charging the phone. There's also a microSD slot hidden under the bottom, black-coloured section on the back of the phone, so getting files on and off the phone is a cinch. This plastic section also pulls away to reveal the battery (Apple take note) and SIM slot. It's a beautiful mechanism, but it's a bit of a pain to power down the Legend to remove the microSD card.

Great review. Do you have a time frame for the impending reviews for the Nexus One and HTC Desire?
It's a nice looking handset but I think I'll wait for the Desire. I just hope the Desire doesn't have the same touchscreen problems as the Nexus One. I had one imported from the US and had it for a week before I lost my rag and sent it back for a refund as the screen would just go crazy :(
Are the speech-to-text features of the Nexus One not on this? Are they on the Desire either or are they exclusive to the Nexus?
Yep would be great to know your expected review date of the Desire...especially as I have already ordered mine! gulp
HTC Desire should be in the next few weeks but Nexus One is a bit of an unknown.
6 months ago I'd have been excited about this phone, now I just feel let down by Android. Does it actually have anything the iPhone OS does not? 3 years to catch Apple and it still seems like a poor copy.
I mean I've got an Android phone, I look at reviews like this, I look at my friends iPhones and really I feel Apple are right in suing HTC (though they should be suing Google for Android). I convinced myself Android would be great and ignored the iPhone; with it's locked down eco-system and limited hardware. But Android has fragmented and offers little if anything of practical use over the iPhone. This is one of the top Android handsets and it still isn't as sleek as the iPhone and once summer comes and there's a new iPhone Apple will probably leap further ahead.
Surprised that Google Maps doesn't have the pinch to zoom feature - I thought that was a Android 2.1 benefit (at least it is on my Nexus One?)
Nice design however - you mention the speakerphone being weedy, how loud are ringtones when out and about. The Nexus One is far too quiet!
I usually hate when the Micro SD card is hidden away with the battery, but the design of that bottom section looks very stylish.
@DaGMan79 - The speech recognition you're thinking of is only on the Nexus One at the moment as far as I know
Have to say I think the phone's missing two buttons, call and end. Yes software can replicate functions but this isn't necessarily better. Just ends up taking more clicks/presses/taps to do the same thing.
I'll give you 3 things Android has and the iPhone doesn't:
- notifications
- multitasking
- background applications
IMHO these make a huge difference. It might not be as smooth and polished but it makes it a much more productive and "smart" OS. I would feel incredible frustrated to switch from my antique (already!) G1 to even the latest and greatest iPhone because of the need to run one task at a time.
I remember that at some point there was a rumor about Windows 7 entry level edition being able to run only 3 applications at a time and everybody was outraged. But if it comes from Apple it's considered "magical".
I'm sorry for sounding "anti-Apple" (I'm really not, I have a MacMini and a Time Capsule) but I hate the double standard aproach: everybody seems to be quick to point out what a device doesn't have/do in comparison with the i{insert-device-here} but never the other way round.
OK. Flame away!
@HK Multitasking? Freedom?
@Big Rich - Speech recognition is also on the Motorola Droid as far as I know.
Seems like its an overall improvement, pretty much the same approach Apple have taken. Better processor, better camera, better screen etc. Although I think Apple took a step back with the 2nd and 3rd gen phones... plastic! If you are forking out that much money for a 'premium' handset you should get that legendary industrial finish from apple, after all isn't that what made them what the are today!
On a sad note I have to say how lucky you readers are in the northern and western hemispheres, this is available eminently in your locations... in South Africa we JUST got the Hero! :( I did think the fluidity comparisons were a bit of a stab though Ed? Its a very slight the difference in speed.
So will upgrade to that next month! What a great review, as always, keep up the good work!
Nice review.
Recommending this for my sister (she was looking at a Hero).
This is definitely more of an everyday user, iphone rival smartphone compared to the Desire and Nexus one. The two "premium" phones are much more geeky, more like mobile computers with their processing power and large screens. I am looking at one of those two for myself so hope TR gets them in soon, however I do love a physical keyboard, but wouldnt go for a droid. I need a snapdragon with 3.7 screen and a physical keyboard (that would probably be a pocketbuster though)
"I look at my friends iPhones and really I feel Apple are right in suing HTC"
Goodness, I wish I could divine patent infringements just by handling something!
@The Doctor
Totally agree about the patents.... only Apple could sue for that ;). Lets hope common sense prevails and HTC continue to deliver a great mobile experience.
@sorin; There's a world of difference between a desktop OS being able to multi task and a phone OS, if Apple only let you run 3 Apps at a time on the desktop, there would be equal out rage from it's users. Apple have limited the phone OS because of current handset restraints in terms of horsepower; however certain apps do allow multi tasking and other applications save when you exit and start exactly where you were when you reopen them, I don't even really notice it doesn't multi-task.
Have you ever used an iPhone to see how this works?
Apple do shoot themselves in the foot sometimes, but with the iPhone, it is the most polished experience out there and others are still playing catch up. Like their computers, Apple always make a great experience, some like it others feel like they want more freedom, which is fine, but the iPhone is a great device and I would say it's still the best overall. (Overall meaning, it hits more than it misses)
@jacko; I agree desktop OS's are a total different story but that's not what I was saying. I was talking about double standard: if it comes from Apple it's OK, that's the way it should be even if others prove it can be different (my G1 multi-tasks with far less horsepower than the iPhone 3GS).
Yes, I have used an iPhone and yes, the experience is second to none but saying that you don't feel it doesn't multi-task might just be because you have gotten used to it. Yes, you can do just fine without multi-tasking but once you have it and get used to it you just can't go back.
I would say that Apple have "crippled" the iPhone just to be sure the interface stays fluid and responsive at all times (which it does and that gives that great user experience) but that is putting form over function.
Then there's also the cost of ownership issue. For example you have to subscribe to MobileMe = 99$/year to get push mail, calendar and contacts sync, things that you get for free with Android.
Listen, I'm not saying the iPhone is inferior to Android, HK just got me started by saying that Android "still seems like a poor copy" of the iPhone.
@Sorin: You don't need to subscribe to MobileMe for Push Email if you have GMail. Calendar and contacts sync for free through iTunes with outlook on the PC.
The Nokia N900, which runs on the same hardware as the 3GS + has a much higher resolution screen multitasks like there's no tomorrow, and yet it offers comparable battery life. It multitasks in a fashion like the PC - that is whatever is open continues running in the background, not halted like other OSes. Apple has no excuse - other than the effectively nonexistent battery management on the iPhone OS to blame.
I ran around 10 windows on my N900 and everything remained snappy and responsive, even after I loaded up 3 resource hungry games (Angry Birds, Bounce Evolution, and VGBA). Blame the coders, not the hardware.
@sorin; You don't need to subscribe to mobile me to get push email, calendar and contacts, my gmail works great for free.
@Rickysio; Maybe you are right, I certainly haven't used the N900 and it does get a decent (not great) review from this very web site. However, as much as I don't want a company to control the OS and limit it to justify itself (like Apple do to a degree) I do appreciate that the user experience I get from the iPhone is the best I've ever used.
Like I said, I've not really had any time where I've missed 'proper' multi-tasking, I can do several things at once anyway, with the phone, Internet, email or music and most applications just reopen where you left off anyway......
No doubt Apple will surprise us all with v4 of the OS and introduce multi-tasking! But I guess they will only do that if it doesn't impact on the performance of the handset and like you say that could be the coders fault rather than the hardware, either way, Apple will make sure the experience is second to none.
The iDropReception issues?
Indeed, the experience of moving an iPhone 3GS that was loaned to me for testing (at that point I was deciding between Milestone(Droid), Palm Pre, 3GS, and the N900, so I borrowed from friends/tried out at shops. I tried the Milestone and Pre out at shops, and the N900 and 3GS from friends.) like some sort of mime was an experience that was second to none. Heck, even a $40 Nokia fares better. You might argue that the metal used inside might result in interception, as the chrome ring around the screen is most likely metal. But damned it, even the X1 which has more metal than the iPhone 3GS fares the same (as in, poor reception), so I don't see the argument, other than that Apple doesn't know how to design antennas.
The UI is indeed pretty, but it's shallow and pretty much useless. And you ask why would one miss 'proper' multitasking? Well, when I play games and a message comes in, it's really really goddamned idiotic of Apple to not allow me to pause the game in the background and let me answer my SMS, then resume gaming. Rather, I have to freaking restart. And lose all my progress. Pitched as a gaming device, this is really, pathetic. There was a time when I was about to set a new high score, then bam, because I needed to answer the call there goes my highscore. I remember I damned near chucked the 3GS at a wall, but stopped because it wasn't my 3GS.
The issue is that the instantaneous reopening of an application is pretty much limited. Most games have significant load times, and so do some other applications, even on the 3GS. Admittedly it's much better than on the 3G model, but still...
It's exceptionally galling when I keep hearing people boast the push notification system of the 3GS as being superior to ALL multitasking implementations, because apparently it saves battery life.
The 3GS has a battery of roughly 1220mAh in capacity. My N900 has 1320mAh. Given that both have comparable internals, and the N900 can multitask, has a much higher resolution, and actually runs at full speed (the 3GS is underclocked), it would be logical to assume, with all those above mentioned battery saving features (No calls, no sms-es, no multitasking, underclock) the 3GS should last longer, despite having a smaller battery. Unfortunately, the N900 lasts much longer. About 1~2 hours longer. Which makes all those Apple defenders' defences(those that call Apple's battery saving measures godly) really really bad argument makers.
@Rickysio; Sorry, don't know anything about the iDrop reception issues? I have issues with the O2 network sometimes, but that happens on a Nokia 6110 Navigator as well, so if there is a problem with iPhone reception, I'm not aware of anything major that has affected me.
I get your comments about having to exit games / apps to answer a call or text and yes, if you do answer the call, the game does end. That is a pain and yes, that isn't right. However you can decline the call and the game does pause allowing you to continue without losing progress. Obviously not great, but as you pointed out that you were loathe to exit the game to lose the high score, you could have just declined the call!
I actually don't play games that much, so this isn't an issue for me.
I've never mentioned that the push notifications are superior to ALL multitasking and I would say that the push notifications are a good way around the issue, but it certainly isn't the best implementation.
I've said all along that I believe the iPhone is the best user experience I've ever used, I also said I've never used a Nokia N900 and from the review this site gives it, I may never have one, although I guess that you would higher marks than this site gives it?
I do look forward to new Android or Nokia handsets being released, I'm certainly not tied to Apple for any reason, so if I think there is a better handset out there when it's time to upgrade, then so be it.
One thing I would add is that a lot of people get so fixated with 'features' that they miss the point about how well those 'features' are implemented. Apple do a really good job in that respect and that is important to me. Look at how many phones from Nokia / HTC / Samsung / LG or whoever have come out and trumped the iPhone in terms of features only to have missed the mark in implementation or other areas and you can see how good the iPhone is in that respect.
More recently some handsets like the latest HTC and maybe even the Nokia N900 are challenging well and I hope that continues.
Declining the call from the Principal = dead lil ole me. I was waiting for the call, so in a sense I shouldn't have gamed at that time. :S
Reception apparently has become subjective. No two different 3GS units perform the same - I borrowed another unit just now (actually I didn't borrow - just played a game of Tap Tap with my friend) and being that the unit I trialled was bought in the same timeframe as the unit I was playing Tap Tap on, apparently reception capability changed. WTF. (I immediately advised the prior friend who loaned me the 3GS to go get it checked again, of course.)
Given your O2 status, you should be living in the UK, so you could try the N900 out in shops, I guess?
And I wasn't talking about you when I mentioned about the proponents of the push system - it's more like a just in case anyone wanted to bugger about it.
And indeed, I'd give the N900 more marks than the site does, mainly because it was done quite unfairly, and they actually left the review of Nokia's new flagship (In specs, it wins everything else in Nokia's portfolio. Arguably in OS, too. S60 is great, but Maemo is incredible.) to a freelancer... >.>
Implementation of features... I agree with you on that point, but that's mostly because Apple takes it's own sweet time to do that. They worked on the iPhone for 4 years, and it was an incredible testament to the apparent mediocrity of the programmers assigned to the iPhone that they apparently spent more time prettifying everything rather than implementing features already present in other mobile OSes way earlier (S60 had multitasking... about 2 decades ago.)...
More recently the HD2 became a butt of jokes for apparently being rejected for WinMo 7 update because it had too many buttons (two too many). Certainly a win for Apple in that firmwares keep getting updated, but Apple's iPhones all have the same number of buttons.
Nokia actually would win in a sense, but I have to see Apple's plans for the long run before I can say for sure. Regarding the 3 digit Nokia sector (N710, N800, N810 etc), Nokia has consistently released firmware that updates (or even goes through the hardwork and blends firmware revisions together upon community request! The OS2007HE for the N710 is an example) Wiki for more info, I have too much to say and too little patience to type it out, because the N900's keyboard is not the best to type essays on when you're sleepy (it's 11PM over here). Apple would lose if they introduced a new OS and discontinued support for say, the 2G, but it's still too early to say.
(This part does not apply to you. Just putting it out.) iPhone models look the same, anyway. Other than the back of the 2G versus the 3G/3GS, there are little differences, so every time I keep hearing people lambaste the N900 for using the same old Nseries design, and yet they cite the iPhone as an example of good design variation. I start laughing uncontrollably every time I read something like that. So when I see that HTC actually varies its designs and improves on it, I do feel tempted to support HTC.
Unfortunately I prefer Maemo over WinMo, so I didn't get the HD2 but the N900.
(I just realised I keep making discussion get off topic in whatever product category I post. >.>)

While Other Retailers Settled, Newegg Crushes Shopping Cart Patent Troll on Appeal
Shane McGlaun
January 28, 2013 10:06 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
"We basically took a look at this situation and said, this is bullshit." -- Newegg Chief Legal Officer Lee Cheng
Patent troll Soverain sued 50 different high-profile e-commerce websites over patent infringement (some big names like Amazon, Avon, and Victoria's Secret actually settled for millions with Soverain), alleging that it owned three patents pertaining to digital shopping carts. Early on, the case looked rocky for Newegg, an online technology products retailer, when the judge overseeing the case refused to allow Newegg to argue that the Soverain patent was invalid.
However, on appeal Newegg's legal team was able to trot out prior artwork to help get the patent case defeated. That prior artwork came from 1984 in the form of a magazine ad from CompuServe bragging about an electronic mall. The District Court judge had originally denied the invalidity argument because the judge said there wasn't "sufficient testimony" and that making the argument to the jury would be "very confusing" to them.
Soverain continued to argue that the system CompuServe used didn't include a "product identifier" as its patent defines. The patent troll also argued that CompuServe's system lacked a "shopping cart database." Those arguments didn't work for Soverain, as a three-judge panel decided that all of the shopping cart patent claims the company made were rendered obvious in the light of CompuServe Mall.
As a result, Soverain won't get the $2.5 million it hoped to snatch from Newegg's bank account. In addition, retailers in currently pending lawsuits will also likely be off the hook to feeding the troll.
Newegg chief legal officer Lee Cheng said in an interview with
Ars Technica
We basically took a look at this situation and said, this is bullshit. We saw that if we paid off this patent holder, we'd have to pay off every patent holder this same amount. This is the first case we took all the way to trial. And now, nobody has to pay Soverain jack squat for these patents.
Cheng also noted that Newegg decided to fight to the death over this lawsuit versus settling because the company is majority owned by its founder, Fred Chang. There are no shareholders to answer to, so Chang has the long-term prospects of his company in mind rather than short-term gains to temporarily help out the balance sheet.
In his parting words to
Ars Technica
, Cheng didn't have many good things to say about what he calls "submarine" trolls – those that lurk under the surface for years, and then hit unsuspecting companies for millions.
"Then they pop up and say 'Hello, surprise! Give us your money or we will shut you down!' Screw them. Seriously, screw them. You can quote me on that."

Re: Step Up
Indeed it is. I consider products that can be installed by. 4th grader to be a step in the wrong direction.
Use pex, throw your tape measure and level away, leave the torch at the shop.
Use an AAV, throw away your drills and sawzall, tape measure, levels and understanding of construction and framing not too mention your ability to properly size vents. I mean why not toss those pages right out of the code book altogether?
Use flexible supplies and throw away your tape measure, bending tools, wrenches and ability to discern what looks good and what looks like crap.
Use pro press and toss your torch and your money out the window. See sentence above.
Embrace them all and others and toss your plumbing license because anybody can do your job.sigpic
Re: Step Up
nobody could tell me why we put shut offs up so high in cabinets when I was an apprentice
I thought it was code. never made sense to make a valve so hard to reach and connect the supplies to.
then I found out it was done that way because it was always done that way and that was the only reason.
Not all change is good but things change and often times they need to
Re: Step Up
you want the job to be hard just don't allow sawsalls and drilsl. nothing but hand saws, chisels and brace and bits. I bet that is what guys said when the 1st right angle drills were on the job sights. I bet those 2 tools sped jobs up and made life easier than pex and propress combined.
advances in our trade will come from water treatment, grey and maybe black water reuse, plumbing for ageing populations. not from the type of connectors we use to hold pipe together.
unfortunately plumbers will go kicking and crying into the future instead of leading the charge. Sorry to say it will be engineers and buerocrats that will take use there.
the connecters we use to hold pipe together doesn't concern me. nor do I care how we vent a system as long as it works. We have bigger fish we should be frying to advance our tradeLast edited by saysflushable; 03-09-2014, 06:51 AM.

Re: Step Up
Some of this I can agree on NH, some not. The evolution of all trades or manufacturing that you have ever seen in your life or will see is a move toward "easier". People stopped making their own socks long ago. Then they moved toward other things or maybe even created other industries of the free market.
PVC-DWV overall and in most cases is an evolution toward "easier" and superior. Some other plastics for distributing some things as well.
That's about it though. Many of the other installation methods that have arisen were never created due to a need or to be a superior method. They were created for the lazy person i.e. easier and the manufacturer to get richer by doing so.
Sharbite type fittings
It's like any business however. The "easier" you make it, higher numbers will enter into it. No stopping it though. Can't say that's a good thing, but people aren't gonna' start making their socks anytime soon.
Re: Step Up
No hub made it easier to assemble cast iron. Not even sure anyone of my supply house stock bell and spigot pipe or fittings. Other than a closet ring, there are no more lead joints out here.
No hub cut down on labor and cost. We still use cast iron pipe and fittings. Just like we still use copper tubing, but with propress fittings.
Don't see to many electricians bending conduit no less threading ridgid pipe anymore. Sure in industrial settings and hospitals, but there were times I would see ridgid threaded conduit in wood framed homes.
Most construction cost savings is a result of labor, and labor rates are not getting cheaper. Cut out the excess labor and it brings down the cost.

Didn't say all electricians or jobsites. I even installed emt in my shop and my garage for the exposed conduit.
Face it, romex, bx, aluminum , steel, plastic flex has replaced ridgid and emt where its acceptable.
Just like hot mopping has replaced lead and copper shower pans. While pvc liners are starting to replace hot mopping.
Sure, there's exceptions, but the norm is not what it was 40 years ago.
Re: Step Up
Also, methods have been changed to accomodate for those higher labor rates.
What I mean is to help keep the overall cost down less time consuming methods
of assembling systems have been developed and they caught on with builders and
project managers because they brought the overall project cost down.
They're looking at dollars per sq foot and to them if the money goes to more expensive materials with lower installation costs or to lower material costs but longer (and therefore more expensive) labor hours they're gonna go with whatever gets the job done sooner most times.Last edited by Bob D.; 03-10-2014, 02:57 AM."It's a table saw, do you know where your fingers are?"

Re: Step Up
The trade has easier materials no doubt, but the Plumbing Trade itself has never been better.
If you would rather squeeze milk from a tit every morning, by all means go for it. I'll go buy my galleon....
I agree there are alot of pansey out there now, but there are also a lot a guys eager to learn and are evolving with the trade.

I could have bought the up to $400.00 blasters. However, I was able to have dirt
blemishes airbrushed on the toy blasters. These pictures are not as detailed as I would like them to be. If you saw them up close in person, you can see the fine details. I should have better pics in a week or so. . . . What ya think guys? Be honest! I have thick skin. When I think of air-brush - - - I think of the sort of cheesey Red Neck art college kids get on their Tee-Shirts when they visit Panama City Beach or Ft. Lauderdale during spring break. Ha ha ha!
Ok ! I know . . This is my attempt at cheesey art direction! But hey! The background is cool.

In a move drawing mixed reaction from parents, the Granite School District has proposed cutting elementary band and orchestra from the school day, instead offering it before or after school.
Music classes taught by music specialists might also be removed from the school day. Instead, the district would ask its regular teachers to include music in their lessons during the day something they should have been doing all along to be in line with state standards, said Ben Horsley, district spokesman.
"The district is committed to this program, but there are concerns," Horsley said, noting that the music program survived $58 million in district budget cuts in recent years because district leaders value it so deeply.
He said the changes could help to ensure all kids receive general music instruction during the day from their regular teachers, as required by the state. And moving band and orchestra to outside the school day would allow the district to lengthen sessions from 45 minutes to an hour, and it would mean kids no longer have to miss class to attend. Now, students leave class for 45 minutes twice a week for instrumental music, raising concerns that they "are missing valuable instruction," Horsley said.
About 3,200 Granite kids now participate in elementary band and orchestra.
Horsley said the district's 14 music specialists would be offered other jobs within the district if the changes become reality.
Parents and teachers, however, have mixed feelings about the proposal.
Elementary music teacher Teresa Cheney said she doubts kids would get as much general music instruction from their regular teachers as they've been receiving from music specialists.
"I feel like without certified music teachers it's not going to get taught, which is disappointing to me," Cheney said. "I think that it serves as a well rounded education, instead of just teaching kids to take tests."
Others, however, such as Melanie Brock, see pros and cons. Brock, PTA president and librarian at Jackling Elementary, is glad kids might no longer have to miss class to attend band or orchestra. She said it can be difficult for educators to teach lessons when parts of their classes leave for 45 minutes twice a week.
Brock said she's already signed her sixth-grader up for afterschool instrumental music though the family is still weighing whether it will interfere with her other extracurricular activities and homework. Jackling, like some other Granite schools, actually chose to stop offering instrumental music within the last couple years in favor of other music instruction, so this would represent a return to the program.
"I think it's a great thing to offer before or after school," Brock said, "because then it's not affecting their work time in school."
She said, however, she's not happy about the idea of losing music classes taught by music teachers. She said she worries not all regular teachers will be able to teach music to the same degree.
"Sometimes the music teacher can open up something different [in a student] than the regular teacher," Brock said.
Calene Cook, whose son and daughter both played instruments at Jackling Elementary in the past, wonders if the program might actually attract more students afterschool. But she doesn't like the idea of asking regular teachers to spend more time on music while cutting music classes taught by specialists.
"Right now if we have someone who specializes with it, the kids get so much more than what the regular teachers can offer them," said Cook who also works at Jackling.
Greg Brockman, Brock's brother-in-law, said he disapproves of both possible changes. He worries many students won't be able to make it to afterschool band or orchestra because of other commitments. Brockman's five kids all attended Jackling in the past, and his son played trombone in the orchestra there.
He said it was a chance for his son, who couldn't play sports at that age for medical reasons, to excel.
"It gives kids who aren't going to shine in sports or dance or other things, it gives kids as way they can shine," Brock said.
Horsley said the district would hold schools accountable for making sure regular teachers actually do teach music and would help teachers with that if they need assistance. He said district administrators will make a final decision based on results of surveys distributed to parents earlier this week and other feedback from patrons and employees.

A host of Arsenal players are away on international duty, swapping their usual shirts for those of their respective countries.
Arsenal.com will bring you all the news of how they got on, starting with a run down of last weekend's World Cup qualifiers.
Emmanuel Adebayor
Togo 6-0 Swaziland, October 11th.
Emmanuel Adebayor returned to international duty in style, scoring four goals as Togo beat Swaziland in their World Cup qualifier. There were doubts over the Arsenal striker's participation in Accra but, to Swaziland's disappointment, Adebayor was there and in top form. Salifou Moustapha had given Togo a 16th-minute lead before Adebayor struck just before the half-hour mark. Olufade Akekami netted on the stroke of half-time before Adebayor ran riot in the second half, scoring after 46, 71 and 85 minutes. The win was not enough to secure top spot in Togo's preliminary qualifying group with Zambia going through thanks to Swaziland's heavy defeat.
Theo Walcott
England 5-1 Kazakhstan, Saturday 11th, Belarus v England, October 15th.
Theo Walcott started for England as Fabio Capello's team maintained their 100 per cent start to their World Cup qualifying campaign. After a frustrating first half Rio Ferdinand broke the deadlock with a header and Alexandr Kuchma's own goal gave the Three Lions some breathing space. A mistake from Ashley Cole let in Zhambyl Kukeyev but England responded with three goals in the last 13 minutes from Wayne Rooney (2) and Jermain Defoe. Walcott caused plenty of problems in the first 25 minutes but faded slightly and was replaced by David Beckham with 11 minutes remaining.
Bacary Sagna, William Gallas, Gael Clichy, Samir Nasri (stand-by)
Romania 2-2 France, October 11th, France v Tunisia, October 14th.
Bacary Sagna played a full 90 minutes as France fought back to rescue a point in Romania. Les Bleus were reeling when Florentin Petre and Dorin Goian put the hosts two up inside 17 minutes but Frank Ribery reduced the deficit before half-time and Yoann Gourcuff equalised with 21 minutes left. France sit fourth in their qualifying group, two points behind co-leaders Serbia and Lithuania. William Gallas missed Saturday's game with an injury while Gael Clichy was not involved.
Cesc Fabregas
Estonia 0-3 Spain, October 11th, Belgium v Spain, October 15th.
Cesc Fabregas came off the bench for the final 20 minutes as Spain continued their flying start to World Cup qualification. The European champions top Group Five with maximum points from three games after Juanito, David Villa and Carles Puyol saw off Estonia. Spain have yet to concede but face a tricky trip to Belgium in midweek.
Kolo Toure, Emmanuel Eboue
Ivory Coast 3-0 Madagascar, October 11th.
Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Eboue both started as Ivory Coast strengthened their grip on their preliminary qualifying group with a comfortable 3-0 victory against Madagascar. Boubacar Sanogo's double put the Elephants in charge before the hour mark and Salomon Kalou sealed the points in the 66th minute. Eboue was replaced after 63 minutes and Toure was substituted nine minutes later.
Robin van Persie
Netherlands 2-0 Iceland, October 11th, Norway v Netherlands, October 15th.
Robin van Persie missed Holland's comfortable win over Iceland after picking up an injury in training. The Dutch shrugged off the loss of the Arsenal forward thanks to a goal in either half from Joris Mathijsen and Klaas Jan Huntelaar. Holland top Group Nine with two wins out of two. Scotland are two points adrift in second place but have played a game more.
Carlos Vela
Jamaica 1-0 Mexico, October 11th, Canada v Mexico, October 15th.
Carlos Vela played a full 90 minutes but could not stop Mexico suffering a setback in their bid to qualify from the North, Central America and Caribbean section. The Arsenal man picked up a yellow card as Ricardo Fuller scored the only goal of the game for Jamaica. Mexico are still well-placed to reach the World Cup Finals; only goal difference separates them from preliminary group leaders Honduras.
Alex Song
Cameroon 5-0 Mauritius, October 11th.
Alex Song was not involved as Cameroon opened up a seven-point lead at the top of their preliminary group with a 5-0 win over Mauritius. Samuel Eto'o opened the scoring in the 26th minute and added a second from the penalty spot two minutes after the break. Albert Meyong Ze also netted a brace either side of Jean Makoun's 71st-minute strike.
Johan Djourou
Switzerland 2-1 Latvia, October 11th, Greece v Switzerland, October 15th.
Johan Djourou played the first half as Switzerland got their World Cup qualifying campaign back on track with a 2-1 win against Latvia. The Arsenal defender was replaced by Mario Eggiman at the break with the game goalless. Switzerland made the breakthrough just after the hour mark thanks to captain Alexander Frei and, although Deniss Ivanovs grabbed an equaliser, Blaise N'KUfo scored the winner with 17 minutes left. Despite their win, Switzerland still trail group leaders Greece by five points after three matches.
Lukasz Fabianski
Poland 2-1 Czech Republic, October 11th, Slovakia v Poland, October 15th.
Lukasz Fabianski was an unused substitute as Poland went top of Group Three with an impressive 2-1 win over the Czech Republic. Pawel Brozek and Jakub Blaszczykowski scored either side of half-time to put the Poles in charge and, although Martin Fenin struck three minutes from time, Fabianski's team held on. They are ahead of Slovenia on goal difference after picking up seven points from three games.
Nicklas Bendtner
Denmark 3-0 Malta, October 11th.
Nicklas Bendtner was not involved as Denmark opened up a two-point lead at the top of Group One. Soren Larsen fired the Danes ahead against Malta and added his second and Denmark's third a couple of minutes into the second half. Liverpool defender Daniel Agger converted a first-half penalty as Denmark maintained their unbeaten start to the World Cup qualifying campaign.
Aaron Ramsey
Wales U21 2-3 England U21, October 10th, England U21 v Wales U21, October 14th.
Aaron Ramsey set up two goals for Simon Church to keep Wales in contention for a place at the European Under-21 Championships next summer. David Wheater, Adam Johnson and Gabriel Agbonlahor gave England a 3-2 win in the first leg of their play-off but the Arsenal youngster caused Stuart Pearce's problems throughout. Ramsey and Wales will look to overturn the deficit in the second leg at Villa Park on Tuesday.
Henri Lansbury, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, Gavin Hoyte, Rhys Murphy
England Under-19s Championships
England 3-0 Albania, October 8th, Northern Ireland 1-3 England, October
10th, England 1-4 Serbia, October 13th.
England secured their passage to next year's elite round of the UEFA Under-19s European Championship, qualifying from Group Nine with a game left to play. Gavin Hoyte, Rhys Murphy and Henri Lansbury all started the first game against Albania with the latter scoring England's third goal in the 78th minute. The same trio started against Northern Ireland in the second game with Lansbury continuing his goal-scoring form. He notched twice in the first half and his fellow Gunner Murphy wrapped things up with a strike six minutes from time. Those two results ensured qualification and England appeared to take their foot of the gas in their final fixture. Jay Emmanuel-Thomas and Lansbury were involved as England were beaten 4-1 by Serbia.
Wojciech Szczesny
Under-19s European Championships October 12th-26th.
The 18-year-old goalkeeper will join up with his Polish team-mates as they compete in the Under-19s European Championship in Sarajevo.

San Francisco • Michael Crabtree's career day and dazzling catch-making display sent the San Francisco 49ers to another NFC West crown and into the playoffs with some much-needed momentum.
Crabtree caught touchdown passes of 49 and 7 yards and finished with a career-high 172 yards, leading the 49ers to a 27-13 victory against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday after a slow start.
Colin Kaepernick threw for a career-best 276 yards and two TDs as the Niners (11-4-1) did their part to control the postseason picture but were still waiting on Green Bay's result at Minnesota to know whether they would earn the NFC's No. 2 seed.
Frank Gore ran for a 2-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter for his franchise-best 51st touchdown rushing, breaking a tie with mentor Roger Craig and the late Hall of Famer Joe Perry.
Brian Hoyer went 19 of 34 for 225 yards and a late TD toss in his first career NFL start as Arizona's fourth quarterback. The Cardinals (5-11) lost for the 11th time in their last 12 games in what might have been Ken Whisenhunt's final game as coach.
Crabtree's outstanding outing was the best by a 49ers receiver since Terrell Owens' 166-yard performance on Nov. 25, 2002, against Philadelphia.
Crabtree caught a 31-yard pass to set up his team-leading eighth TD reception on the next play. The sequence put him over 1,000 yards, giving San Francisco its first 1,000-yard receiver since T.O. in 2003.
The next series, Crabtree made a pretty, one-handed grab with his right hand along the left sideline on third-and-11 for a 19-yard gain and first down.
He made a 14-yard catch on fourth down late in the third, and later converted another fourth down with a reception of 7 yards.
What a boost for an injury-depleted receiving corps missing Mario Manningham for the rest of the season because of a knee injury and had tight end Vernon Davis limited a week after sustaining a concussion.
Struggling San Francisco kicker David Akers missed wide left on a 44-yard field goal attempt midway through the second quarter, then did it again with nearly the same kick from 40 yards this time 24 seconds before halftime. Akers put his hands on his knees and closed his eyes in frustration as boos rained down from the sellout crowd at Candlestick Park.
He missed for the fourth time in his last eight spanning three games and 13th time in 40 tries after setting an NFL single-season record with 44 in 52 attempts. He had a 21-yard try blocked in the loss at Seattle and returned by Richard Sherman for a 90-yard touchdown.
But Akers bounced back by nailing one from 43 yards early in the second half yet was later clipped in his left, kicking foot by Arizona's Justin Bethel. He stayed in the game, then booted a 26-yard field goal with just more than 9 minutes remaining.
Hoyer exhibited poise in the early moments. He completed 7 of his first 13 passes and three straight for 7, 15 and 12 yards during one drive as Arizona took a 3-0 lead on Jay Feely's 35-yard field goal late in the first quarter. Feely added a 31-yarder early in the second to make it 6-0.
The Cardinals outgained the 49ers 129-15 in total yards in the opening quarter and held San Francisco without a first down.
But that didn't last long.
The Cardinals ended a six-game stretch without a touchdown passing when Hoyer hit Michael Floyd on a late 37-yard touchdown pass to end a stretch of six games without a TD in the air.
The Cardinals pounded the ball toward the right side of San Francisco's defensive line where Pro Bowler Justin Smith had been stout against the run all season before getting hurt two weeks ago.
But Hoyer, who replaced the benched Ryan Lindley in last week's 28-13 home loss to the Bears, couldn't make enough plays against San Francisco's stingy defense.
Former starting quarterback Alex Smith made what could have been his final appearance in a 49ers uniform when he entered the game with 5:57 to go playing to chants of "Let's Go, Alex!" and "Alex! Alex!"

Interns Super-Compute in the Arctic
Arctic Region Supercomputing Center August 12, 2003
Interns Super-Compute in the Arctic
Five students, who traveled across the countryto learn about supercomputing in the arctic, are gearing-up for theirfinal presentations this week. The students have spent the past ten weekslearning the ins and outs of supercomputing and high-end visualization.They will each give a presentation on Thursday to demonstrate what theylearned this summer.
The interns came to the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center (ARSC) aspart of the Alaska Research Summer Challenge, an NSF-funded internprogram for undergraduate students. Interns live on the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus and work at the center with an individual mentor. In addition, they participate in weekly events with other NSF science-focused interns on campus. Betty Studebaker is the intern program manager at ARSC.
This year's interns come from several universities across the country,including Bowie State University, Norfolk State University, New MexicoInstitute of Mining and Technology at Socorro and the University of Texas at El Paso.
" I feel like I learned a lot," said Ameerah Muhammad a computer sciencejunior at Bowie State University, who spent her summer working on the Body LanguageUser Interface and learning to program virtual reality. "My school doesn'toffer any kind of graphical programs so I thought it would be cool to come outto Alaska and learn about it."
This year's interns completed varied projects over their weeks at thecenter, including working with Landsat imagery data, creating three-dimensionalprints,expanding an ionospheric modeling project and studying data base creation.
All five ARSC interns will give their final presentations on Thursday,August 14, 2003, in the Board of Regents conference room in the Butrovichbuildingon the UAF campus at 2 p.m.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
That fluid Cobalt is referring to as the 50/50 mix is often sold as the blue windshield washer fluid, you prob have some in the garage.
You need to tear the short block down too and probably need to check the bearings and surfaces for wear. Also the lifter bores should be checked if you're loosing cams as they can cause that problem.
Just to let you know ahead of time you're probably looking at a $500-$1,500 expense, between any necessary cleanup machining, new bearings and gaskets, new cam kit, cleaning etc.
Then flip the heads upside down and the leveled head's chambers are filled with a 50% rubbing alcohol/50% water mix (to lower the surface tension, or water alone can be used) w/some food coloring added.
The head's combustion chamber is covered w/a clear piece of plexiglass w/a small fill and vent hole so the bubbles can be seen and 'chased' out the vent (or use a CD w/the plating removed by scraping the plated side 'backwards' w/a razor blade to pop the plating off). You use the cover over the chamber to keep the surface tension from fouling the measurement. A thin layer of grease or vaseline seals the cover to the deck. The valves are left in w/springs to hold them shut and a spark plug is installed as well, so the chamber will be watertight.
The piston voulme will almost always be published by the manufacturer, so with all that info and the head gasket compressed thickness, that will give you the static compression ratio.
Once you know the CR, you can then go about deciding on a cam or on what mods need to be made to run a cam you might have already chosen.
You are trying to run too much cam for the stock gearing. I would bet a 79 vette has a 2.73 or a 3.08 gear.
I would run no more than a compcam 260H cam with your stall and gear and compression. Plus the 260H is less likely to go flat due to slower ramps.
pull the engine and completely disassemble and clean it. I bet at least one of the engine bearings are chewed up after your cam when flat.
use an oil additive. www.zddplus.com
If you are running a flat tappet cam with lots of spring pressure, you need to use off road racing oil such as Bradd Penn or the Joe gibbs stuff. These oils have the zinc additive you need to make that cam live.
|again thank you for the help, i understand to tearing down part and going to do now , i have done this in 2009 putting everthing new in. i just dont know how to tell what i got from there. to figure static compression ratio,will be done tearing down today and posting soon, thank you
|hello, sorry the summit cam just didn't do anything for the car and the comp cam just sound good looked bad when taking off. is there a place i can find a easy understandable way to do this sat. compression ratio. i got cam out can i figure it out at this point or will i need a compression for plug with motor running. this is the whole part i am not getting. as for setting lash did by the book turning over setting one at a time, just had to of messed up some where. will learn one way or other. i tried to set the ones the was not moving that much and nothing, lifters are ok little wear on bottom of the not much,when i took valve cover off i put finger in oil in lower bottom corner of heads and under the oil looked like sliver fine fine sparkle metal. just need to know how to do first step, again thank you for your help
We can also help to eliminate any more roached cams by following these tips and tricks upon assembly....
How are you breaking in those cams? How are you setting valve lash? It's odd for 3 cams to have issues.
Two rockers not moving could be either lash setting or you really wiped a lobe on break in.

I wore my hair in two China buns, which luckily stayed put for the whole day. Makeup wise, I wore turquoise eyebrows and a bright pink lip. I drew my brows on with a turquoise eyeliner, and set them with a translucent powder. I wore the same bright pink Barry M lippy, as I wore the previous day.
I wore my Topshop leather jacket, American Apparel mesh dress, Versace for H&M leggings and my Doc Martens for my outfit. For accessories, I wore my H&M bag, sunglasses I received from a magazine years ago and my Versace for H&M scarf tied around it.

The country of Slovakia has created a National Memory Institute(UPN)which preserves the memory of the nation's past, particularly, the period in which communism was dominant. There is no doubt many people would enjoy seeing the building containing documents as to who collaborated with the police, who informed on a neighbor or relative, and who today was someone then. Snce its inception, the Institute has been releasing information about people whom the historical documents indicate were either opposed to or collaborated with, the pre-1989 communist regime.
The concept of a Memory Institute has great attractions, but, it also raises questions as to who decides which documents are released. The Institute has incredible power in deciding what happens today so questions concerning control over Memory are of vital concern in 2008 to leaders of political parties whose leaders may have had connections in the past to people with whom they wish no information is ever released.
The Memory Institute has the power in Slovakia to eradicate an individual's past which thus determines the individual's future. Until those who lived under communism die, the past will not only live on in the individual's mind, but in a building not far away.

Waterfowlers of The Mop. River Basin. Make sure you send in your thoughts ideas as to moving forward in restoring Vital Migratory Waterfowl Habitat with in our reach of the Mo. River Basin. Your support and your interests as waterfowlers is very key in securing a better future for waterfowl and waterfowling with in OUR Basin!

Dear Waterfowl working group members,
I am forwarding the below email and information sent by David Hoover, Biologist
with USACE. If you have any questions please contact him directly.
Thanks to David for sending this to the group!

Caveats: NONE
The following is another public involvement opportunity that may be of interest
to the members of the Iowa Waterfowl Working Group. As I discussed at our
recent meeting the Corps' Missouri River Bank Stabilization and Navigation Fish
and Wildlife Mitigation Project (Mitigation Project) was authorized by Congress
to mitigate the 522,000 acres of fish and wildlife habitat lost to the Corps'
Missouri River Bank Stabilization and Navigation Project. The input of
stakeholders in the Missouri River Recovery Plan - Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) scoping process is critical to establishing the path that the
Corps will move forward on the Mitigation Project and Bi-Op compliance efforts.
Currently the Corps has acquired and are working to restore and/or manage over
60,000 acres of the 166,750 acres the Mitigation Project is currently authorized
to acquire on the lower 735 miles of river. In Iowa our goal is 23,725 acres of
fish and wildlife habitat restored on existing public land or land acquired from
willing sellers. To date we have acquired approximately 14,000 of that total in
Iowa. These lands not only provide important fish and wildlife habitat on the
Missouri River but increased recreational opportunities for those who enjoy
hunting, fishing, trapping and wildlife viewing. This will be the opportunity
for individual members of the Iowa Waterfowl Working Group and their supporting
organizations to let the Corps know how they view the current Mitigation Project
and provide input on its future.
As noted below, the Corps is hosting two scoping webinars on September 11th and
18th to listen and solicit comments on the Missouri River Recovery Management
Plan and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). In addition, comments regarding
the Missouri River Recovery Management Plan and EIS will be accepted through
October 18, 2013. They can be entered into the online public comment system,
http://parkplanning.nps.gov/MRRMP , or sent
to: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Attn: CENWK-PM-PR (Management Plan and EIS),

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is hosting two scoping webinars on
September 11th and 18th to listen and solicit comments on the Missouri River
Recovery Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Participants
are encouraged to attend one or both webinars, which will be held from 3:00 to
4:30 p.m. (CDT) on both days.
The Missouri River Recovery Program (MRRP) combines implementation requirements
of the 2003 Missouri River Biological Opinion and the Bank Stabilization and
Navigation Project Fish and Wildlife Mitigation project. To comply with National
Environmental Policy Act requirements, the Corps will assess programmatic
effects and develop a range of alternatives for the program. The Management Plan
and EIS also will provide an evaluation of the necessity and effectiveness of
actions contained in the Biological Opinion.
The Management Plan and EIS will take about three years to complete. The MRRP
allows the Corps to continue operation of the Missouri River Basin projects for
all of its authorized purposes and to achieve multiple benefits.
Information collected from the Corps' monitoring efforts will be used to
evaluate the reasonableness, effectiveness and the programmatic impacts of its
current actions and refine or change those actions as appropriate. Consistent
with BiOp requirements, a definitive adaptive management process will be
developed to ensure the flexibility needed to adjust actions based on continued
monitoring to avoid jeopardy of the listed species, without pursuing measures
that do not prove effective.
From your computer, connect to https://connect.dco.dod.mil/mngtplan
at 3 p.m. (CDT) on either September 11th
or 18th. The webinars will be recorded, and participants will be able to provide
comments that will be documented by a court reporter. All comments received will
become part of the public record and may be included in the Final Management
Plan and EIS. Those who use a telecommunications service for the deaf (TDD) may
call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) anytime at 800-877-8339 to
relay this same information. For further details on webinar participation,
please visit the Management Plan tab at http://moriverrecovery.usace.army.mil
for details.
Comments regarding the Missouri River Recovery Management Plan and EIS will be
accepted through October 18, 2013. They can be entered into the online public
comment system, http://parkplanning.nps.gov/MRRMP
, or sent to: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Attn: CENWK-PM-PR (Management Plan

The collective gets its name from a symbol of workers control, the sabot. French peasants often resisted early industrial capitalism by tossing their wooden shoes (they couldn't afford leather) into the gears of a factory machine, in order to get a break after extremely long hours.

Posted by Jean-Pierre Garbani on July 27, 2010
We are sometimes so focused on details that we forget to think clearly. Nothing new there; it's still a story about trees and forest. A few years ago, this was clearly the case when I met with one of the first vendors of run book automation. My first thought was that it was very similar to workload automation, but I let myself be convinced that it was so different that it was obviously another product family. Taking a step back last year, I started thinking that in fact these two forms of automation complemented each other. In "Market Overview: Workload Automation, Q3 2009," I wrote that "executing complex asynchronous applications requires server capacity. The availability of virtualization and server provisioning, one of the key features of today's IT process [run book] automation, can join forces with workload automation to deliver a seamless execution of tasks, without taxing IT administrators with complex modifications of pre-established plans."In June of this year, UC4 announced a new feature of its workload automation solution, by which virtual machines or extension to virtual machines can be provisioned automatically when the scheduler detects a performance issue (see my June 30 blog post "Just-In-Time Capacity"). This was a first sign of convergence. But there is more.
Automation is about processes. As soon as we can describe a process using a workflow diagram and a description of the operation to be performed by each step of the diagram, we can implement the software to automate it (as we do in any application or other forms of software development). Automation is but a variation of software that uses pre-developed operations adapted to specific process implementations.

Roger Williams University was originally founded in Providence in 1956. With a growing student population, the hunt was on for a new, larger location, and in 1967, groundbreaking began at the University's current location. Formerly Ferrycliffe Farm, a dairy farm owned at the time by Mary Howe DeWolf and Marshall Fulton, the location was -- and remains -- convenient to Boston, Providence and Newport.
Located in Bristol, Rhode Island, a quaint, historic New England town known for its annual Fourth of July celebration, RWU's campus sits on a sprawling 143 acres overlooking Mount Hope Bay. RWU is just minutes to downtown Bristol -- home to restaurants, ice cream shops, boutiques and antique shops, the East Bay Bike Path and Colt State Park. RWU is also just a 30-minute drive to both Newport (R.I.'s beach haven) and Providence (R.I.'s capital city), just 60 minutes to Boston, Mass., and about three hours to New York City.
Our campus is home to the Feinstein College of Arts and Sciences as well as five professional schools. Students live in a variety of housing options from singles and doubles to suites and apartments in six on-campus residence halls and two off-campus halls. From our state-of-the-art classrooms and computer labs to our newest classroom building, Global Heritage Hall at the heart of RWU's academic quad, RWU's campus is the epitome of what a college campus should be.

Monday Night Football: San Francisco 49ers Rout Arizona Cardinals, 24-3
Alex Smith completed 18 of 19 pass attempts for 232 yards and three touchdowns, and the San Francisco 49ers beat the Arizona Cardinals, 24-3, in Arizona on Monday night. San Francisco (6-2) led 17-0 at halftime on the strength of two scoring passes from Smith to Michael Crabtree.
Smith connected with Randy Moss on a 47-yard touchdown midway through the third quarter. The 49ers coasted the rest of the way, allowing Arizona (4-4) just a 28-yard Jay Feely field goal prior to the start of the fourth quarter.

At The Creativity Institute, we do everything we can to help parents, grandparents and educators appreciate and nurture creativity in their children and students. We don't look for the trendiest toys or the newest gadgets in playthings. Our toy store features a wide selection of creativity-nurturing educational toys and pretend play toys. We're all about open-ended, imaginative play. Our goal is to help you lay a foundation for creative thought that will follow a child through life.
I read a story about a first grader whose teacher gave each child in the class a rectangular sheet of paper and told them to "cut it the long way." Everyone in the class cut their sheet of paper in half from bottom to top except one child who cut it diagonally, which is the longest cut you can make on a sheet of paper. Unfortunately, it wasn't what the teacher had in mind and her teacher told her she was wrong.
This is not an uncommon occurrence in child-rearing, both in school and other childcare situations. Teachers who prize creative responses and original thinking by children can make a world of difference in their lives. Valuing creativity and nurturing it from infancy can have tremendous benefits.

Arsène Wenger insists he will not make wholesale changes for Monday night's FA Cup clash with Leeds.
The Arsenal manager had been widely expected to rest much of his first team for the Third-Round tie at Emirates Stadium.
But while Robin van Persie and possibly Gervinho will miss the match, Wenger will not go for a complete reshuffle.
"[I will play] a strong side, a normal side," he told Arsenal Player.
"Maybe one or two will be rested, but apart from that I think we will still have Marouane Chamakh.
"Robin van Persie will certainly be rested for this game. We will hopefully have Chamakh available, [Ju-Young] Park available.
"Gervinho will maybe miss the game because they [the Ivory Coast players] have to turn up 14 days before the [Africa Cup of Nations] tournament starts."
