I know my almost 2.5 DS is exhibiting normal tot behaviors but my husband and I are not sure how to deal with them in a gentle yet effective way...
He is very often now testing us and not wanting to listen to our requests to do everyday things like washing hands before meals, putting clothes to go out, change diapers, brush teeth, take a bath or not touch or do something that is dangerous.....
He runs away from us or makes us run after him, then he will approach us and then run away when we get near.
If you walk away or use reverse psychology and say for example " ok- don't eat"he will get upset and say for example "I want to eat" but then run away again if you get near....
Many times we ask nicely and the next step is to give him a choice " you can walk to the bathroom to wash up or mommy can come and pick you up and take you and wash you up" He will often reply "Mommy come" and then get upset when we come and try to pick him up and he goes limp and we pick him up and take him.
Sometimes we say "I will count to 20-if you don't come I will pick you up", etc.... and then he counts himself (which ends up irritating us of course.....
Everything becomes a big process and drama lately and I don't feel as patient as I used to be....We don't scream but I feel we are raising our voice more than we want to and it doesn't feel good.
To make matters worse, I am with my ds all day everyday (during the week) while my DH works outside the home. My son doesn't listen to me as much as he does his dad and it makes me feel really bad. :-(
I should point out my DS is in general a sweet, mild tempered, loving and a very gentle-generous soul. Always ready to share and give toys to friends, wanting to be affectionate and he is VERY sensitive....
Thanks for listening!!
My ds1 is a little over 2.5, so I definitely understand. I've been looking for some good discipline ideas myself. It can be frustrating because he definitely likes being contrary.
One thing that I've noticed that works for us is making sure we're in situations where I don't have to tell him 'no' a lot, so that when I do need to tell him 'no' or ask him to do something it doesn't seem like I've been asking him or telling him to do things all day. Does that make sense? I'm a stay at home mom too, and dh works all day, so yeah, if I can just make our days easier to start with, I do. I definitely choose my battles, and also try to give him plenty of oppurtunities to be independent. For example, lately he does not want to get dressed, he just wants to be naked most days. So (if we're not going anywhere) I will ask him, "Do you want to pick out some clothes and get dressed?" He will usually say, "No, I want to be naked guy." So I just say, "Ok, let me know if you get cold." And I leave it at that. It's not worth wrestling him into clothes if we're not going anywhere.
Or another example of something we do is, I'll make a deal with him. We have a rule that his pacifiers need to be put away when he wakes up (so that we know where they are at nap time or bedtime). He doesn't always like to have them taken away right after he has woken up (which I understand, he's still sleepy) so I'll say, "You can have them for 5 more minutes." Instead of just yanking them away. I'll set the timer for 5 minutes, and when it goes off, almost always he will be fine with putting them away himself.
Hopefully something I said helps. Good luck! :)
My daughter is 2 and really likes to run away. I dislike it a lot because it usually makes her more emotional then she was before. Unless she is headed for danger, I say calmly that I will not chase her and then either sit down or do something else away from her. Usually she will giggle and run, but once she sees that I am not going after her, she stops running.
Also I love 'when...then" statements. I don't give a choice, just say for example, "When you wash your hands you may eat" I will wash my hands and sit down. Then if she runs away it's no big deal. Usually within a few minutes my dd comes and waits by the sink to wash her hands.
The when.. then... is my biggest tool. It gives her clear guidelines but lets it be on her time line. Stick to it... even if they get upset about it for a bit, it does pay off.
Although my twins are age 4 now, they still like to play that game. Not always, but sometimes. :>) I have found that if I ask them to do something and they don't do it, it is a lot less frustrating for me, and more productive overall, if I just calmly walk over to them, take them by the hand, and guide them to whatever it is that I've asked them to do. I like the previous poster's approach, too, of "when-then." That works well .... sometimes! 2 1/2 is still pretty young to be following through with verbal instructions all the time and resisting impulses, IMHO. Counting to 20, using reverse psychology, etc. sounds draining. My advice is to keep it simple. Also, when my girls are acting like that it is often because they could use a little more of my attention. Don't know if that's the case with your son...? Sound like you have a wonderful little guy (even if challenging!).
I spent my entire weekend being yelled at & whined at & generally being told what to do & bossed around by my 2.5 year old
I feel like the "when... then" thing mostly works for us when it's something I need her to do, but what do you do when they ask to do things where the answer is just NO? Or they're trying to order you around -- telling you where you can sit, when you can eat, when to talk, etc.
It goes: 1) whining for something I don't want her to have (like candy, tv, etc) - OR - whining for me to pick her up (fine, but there are certain moments when that is just not practical) 2) I tell her no, or to wait a minute 3) more whining 4) firmer no & offer of something to replace it (eg) do you want to read a book? eat something healthy? 5) screaming crying tantrum or angry face & throwing things. 6) more bargaining on my end. I'd love to get through it before complete meltdown.
And the whining. It is driving me crazy. I calmly ask her to stop whining, say I can't understand what you're saying when you're whining, etc. Inside I am screaming!
She's clearly going through an extra-clingy time right now. She's stuck to me like glue if I am anywhere nearby. Constantly saying Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, what are you doing? Mommy, up! Etc.
She RARELY does this stuff to my husband. She goes to daycare, and I don't think it happens much there, though I know she does try to boss the other kids around.
I have found myself raising my voice at her out of frustration lately when she tries to order me around, and I don't want to get into that pattern. She's very sweet usually, but this stuff has been getting out of control lately.
I am clearly not doing this right. Would love any ideas.
I am not sure if this is gentle parenting... but for tantrums, I make sure my 2 year old is safe and will not hurt herself, and then calmly say that I will listen when she can talk to me calmly. Then I walk away.
As for the inside screaming... I completely understand, whining is very frustrating!
It's the disequilibrium of the age: http://www.centerforparentingeducation.org/programs_articlesresource_byage.html#year2h http://www.centerforparentingeducation.org/programs_articlesresource_ucstages.html
I also have a 2.5 yr old & it can be a nightmare. I am finding plenty of info on WHY they do what they are doing & v little info on how to cope w/ it. How to help them deal w/ this whirlwind time of life. I will post again if I find anything.
A few tricks I have picked up are that, to get dd1 to get her coat on and leave the house, instead of telling her we are leaving, I say, "Mommy and dd2 are going to the store, do you want to come with us?" I will say wherever we are going, Grammy's house, library, etc. She will always say, "Yes!" and get ready right away. IDK why it works, maybe b/c I am inviting her along instead of insisting. For tantrums, I let her have her scream fest & then talk to her when it is over. She is so caught up in the emotions that there is no reasoning. I will try a few little things to break thru, which sometimes works. If they don't, I leave her be. I try really hard to avoid making her do things, it's quite difficult. I cannot use when..then b/c she will still refuse to do the first thing & then I have to follow thru on the second thing even if it is something I want her to do. I'm not going to let her keep running around & not eat lunch b/c she refuses to wash her hands, she will never agree to wash her hands & just refuse to eat. I either let things go or quickly "help" her do them.
My v favourite right now is that dd1 will ask for things over and over again, even if it is stuff that we don't have in the house. Like a random request for a brownie, haha! And then she says, "Cuz you want it," (you meaning I) over and over and over and over until she cries about it b/c I said no or we don't have it. If she would just stop that one behaviour, the rest would not seem as bad!
We play the chase game at our house too. It's annoying, but eventually I'm able to pick him up and bring him over for diaper change, hand washing, etc. The thing is he likes to do simple tasks. I'll ask him to put his dish in the sink or throw something in the garbage and he follows through. He loves getting the fruit out of the fridge and then says that he can do it and for me to sit down.
I agree with another poster, you are doing way too much. Just make your request and then perhaps once more, then just go get them and lead them through the activity. 2 1/2 is tough, but it will get better in a few weeks. And then it will get worse. . . . and then better. There is a great series of books http://www.amazon.com/Your-Two-Year-Old-Louise-Bates-Ames/dp/0440506387/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1296486979&sr=8-1 that is very helpful knowing about the development stages and ideas to help.
The chase game: If they run away when I tell them to stay close, then they have to hold my hand from the moment the door opens until they are in the car or back in the house. I tell them before we leave a safe place that they may not run because it is dangerous, and because they have trouble remembering, then I will hold their hand until they are old enough to remember. And I only would chase my kids after they 1. asked to be chased and 2. I would look around and tell them, "this looks like a safe place to run and play." So they would understand that chasing and running weren't always safe. (But I had twins who would bolt, different directions, from 11 months old!)
Whining: whine back! It is great. When you child whines at you for something, you respond by whining something annoying. They may laugh and think you are funny or get annoyed, but they will get the point. The other thing is to just tell them, "Oops, that was a whiny voice, why don't you ask in your nice voice and then I will answer you." That has worked for me too.
They're not typos. . . I can't spell!
Mine is a little older but at that age I started with '123'. I know not everyone agrees with this approach but it works for us. Basically, I will say what I need to happen (climb in his car seat, put on his coat, etc) and if it doesn't happen I will slowly count to three. If he still doesn't co-operate I just physically do it for him. What I think this has helped with is him knowing that I really mean it and that it WILL happen. Usually as soon as I start to count he says 'I'm coming' or 'I'm doing it'. I don't chase unless it's dangerous. For things like getting dressed I say 'OK, I'm going to go brush my teeth (or whatever)' and he usually says 'no, get me dressed!'. My guy is extremely stubborn and a prize debater and is always trying to make 'deals' but I don't think he was doing that at 2 1/2. He was a runner though which is SO frustrating. Good luck!

Agree. Keep it simple.
The "when... then" thing is awesome!! Use that all the time!
Have to share.....
We count slowly backwards from 5.... reminding what she/he should do by 1 half way through the count. This way, our kids can understand what is wanted and react in time. We don't count all the time. Also, reserve saying "No" for important stuff.
Oh... and.....
My neighbor's 2 1/2 year old runs away from Momma as a game and hits my girls a lot. Not angry hits, but out of desire to get their attention. (Running away is an attention getter, too.) It is just the age. Drives her mother up the wall, none the less. I will get down at the 2 1/2's level, ask her why she hit.... what she wanted from Lilly.... when she tells me, I quickly simulate a better way to handle it and say if she "uses her words" nicely instead, she will get what she wants and Lilly won't cry.
Consistency is key.
Thanks Everyone!!!
I will definitely try some of these ideas. I'm glad to see on the developmental list that the bossiness is somewhat normal.
Thank you for the info & keep it coming!
OMG I could have written this. My 2.5 y/o dd has been driving me insane to the point where I thought someone exchanged my kid I will have to try the things suggested and will check out the links. Thank you!

I have nothing useful to add except that I also have a 2.5 year old and I am feeling so, so worn down right now. I feel like somedays DD is in a constant state of temper tantrum over disappointment, she didn't get to say "we're here!" as we pulled into the driveway at exactly the right moment she wanted to = melt down, we aren't having mashed potatoes for dinner = melt down, she wanted to flush the toilet for me but didn't say so, so I flush it= melt down. Did I mention this series of events is happening all in a row? It is so exhausting and really I just lose sympathy after a while...

Oh my, this is my DD right now too! I'm sooo exhausted and feel like I'm walking on eggshells all day long around her. It's nice to know that I'm not the only mama going through this.
I also have a 2.5 year old and have been dealing with this sort of behavior.
What has helped in our house is a combination of a lot of the above advice.
I often use the "when...then" tactic, which works especially if it is something she really wants (the "then" part), but I always make it something that is okay with me too...for instance, she really likes parades, so at bedtime, I say, "As soon as you get your jammies on we can have a jammy parade!" Then we march up and down the hall way with instruments for a few minutes after she has her jammies on.
We also use the Magic 1-2-3 counting strategy, but I really recommend reading the book or watching the DVD before attempting this. It has worked wonders in our household. She usually responds at 2 or sometimes waits until I get to 3. I also count and say, "if you don't come for blah blah blah by the time I count to 3, I will come and pick you up and help you," just as another poster suggested.
I also do the "Mommy is going to the store...do you want to come with me?" and "I will do so and so when you use your big girl voice and ask me nicely." I tried the whinning back, but she though it was so funny that she actually started whinning more to get me to do it.
Finally, if she starts the chase game, I don't partake. I stay where I am and ignore her. She usually comes back in a few minutes (because, ultimately she wants to be around me more than anything) then I make my request again, or say "Hi! Okay, time to..." At nap time or bedtime, if she is resisting, but already has her jammies on and brushed teeth, I will say "It is time to read stories now. Dolly and I are going to start reading and you can join us when you are ready," then go to her room and start reading and talking to her dolly/stuffed animal, let the dolly pick a book, and so forth. DD can hear all this and eventually wants in on the action and comes running. So, I'd say we use a lot of of playful parenting techniques too.
It is exhausting living with a 2 year old! I find I often have to tap into deep wells of patience and creativity! I am definitley going to try lisavarks idea and see if DD reacts the same way.

Chis Dwyer is the creator of One ___ at a Time. His blog One ___ at a Time is a big adventure into the little-known endurance sport of astro-athleticism and all things "stickin-it-to-the-man". It intertwines his passion for planetary salvation, athletic empowerment, home-energy renovation, community enrichment, and general mischief. Chris is a regular and favorite blogger, Ironman extraordinaire, and close friend of us here at Fitness Electronics Blog. Today he is reviewing the Garmin 910XT, and giving us his real life experiences with the GPS multisport watch. Check out his website at http://oneblankatatime.blogspot.com.
For the last six years, I've merely trained and raced with a low-frill, yet trusty, Nike heart rate monitor and a not-so-trusty bike-mounted Sigma odometer. Prior to this week, I was a complete virgin to GPS watches. The good news is that I've lost my GPS virginity and have found each experience with the Forerunner 910xt radically better than that first clumsy encounter. This review is certainly not exhaustive of all the features on the 910xt, but merely an introduction to the equipment coming from the perspective of someone who is generally a minimalist when it comes to training with gizmos.
Why I Don't Have a GPS Watch
Being a triathlete, the Garmin Forerunner 310xt had been on my Christmas wish list for many years. But I could never bite the bullet financially, hearing tales from the tri community that the 310xt had trouble logging swim distance/pace. The satellite connection was supposedly erratic when the watch went under water. In truth, the 310xt "isn't really a triathlon watch, but a multisport watch", confessed the Garmin rep at a Spinning conference I attended in Miami. I felt almost-duped. She asked me, "Then, why don't you just get a GPS watch for runners and forget the bike mount and the swim capabilities altogether?" Instead, I decided, "I'll just wait till the bugs are worked out, so I can get what the 'triathlon watch' is supposed to be."
Why I Got the Forerunner 910xt
My good friends at the Fitness Electronics Blog were sweethearts last week and asked if I wouldn't mind testing the Garmin Forerunner 910xt. It seemed like a peace offering given in place of what I really wanted—them, riding with me, in my first ever do-it-yourself ultra-distance triathlon I called DWYRMAN. Unfortunately, they couldn't come due to their newborn baby, the bar exam, and general life craziness. DWYRMAN was supposed to be a celebration of summer with some of my best cycling, swimming, and running friends. The course was to circumnavigate five state parks with lakes around Cincinnati, passing through Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, totaling 5 miles of open water swimming, 190 miles cycling, and 32 miles running. It was all theoretically possible based on my tinkering with maps and recon rides over the years. My Fitness Electronics Blogger friends thought the 910xt would be a cool addition to the DWYRMAN in their absence.
How the Forerunner 910xt Faired
As the host of DWYRMAN, my mind was primarily focused on making sure everyone was having a good time, being safe, and getting our mission accomplished. While riding without my glasses, I had difficulty navigating the digital architecture of the zillions of features. The additional stimuli on my wrist completely flustered me. I had a hard time figuring out what all the numbers meant and which of the six buttons did what. It was just information overload. Race day is not a good day for one's first orientation to new gear. So when we got to the first open water swim, I had to ask for tech support from my buddy Rob, a Garmin-devotee, and he changed the settings for me to "open water swim mode. This is where it got cool.
We took off toward the opposite shore of the lake. When we got to the other side, the watch indicated that I had gone 506 yards. Rob's watch said 501 yards, but I'm pretty sure he swims straighter than me, which could explain the discrepancy. Then we turned 90 degrees and swam along the shore and traced out a triangular path. The watch indicated ~28:00 and ~1600 yards back at the boat ramp, so we called it a "Kentucky mile." From the image below, you'll see I forgot to hit STOP on the watch.
At the upper left vertex of the triangle, the satellites think I went up on shore, but I didn't. So the map features have bomb-dropping, but not fly-swatting, precision.
Throughout DWYRMAN race day, I basically ignored the watch except for the open water swim sessions. I've come to discover that there is basically a six-workout learning curve for a newbie to figure out the full power of A) the watch in the field and B) the Garmin Connect data analysis back home. I needed two workouts in each triathlon discipline to finally have that eureka moment.
The Hardware
The night before DWYRMAN, John handed me a zip lock bag containing the Forerunner 910xt contents: 1) watch (with the rubber wrist-strap option)
2) heart rate monitor
3) USB recharger
4) ANT+ device
Strike 1 – The Software
I first went to the Garmin website and try to find a "Quick Start" manual, which was easy. But then I devoted 45 frustrating minutes proving that despite meeting the system requirements, my MacBook with Mac OS X 10.4.11 operating system was incapable of downloading the second of the two necessary software packages – 1) Garmin Connect for analyzing your data, and 2) ANT+ hardware installation (for wirelessly uploading the watch's data to your computer).
It wasn't until after DWYRMAN that I resorted to using my wife's newer MacBook (with the Mac OS X 10.6.8 operating system). It took about one hour to install the softwares and upload my first workouts. Since that first lengthy installation process, uploads from the watch to the ANT+ have been wireless and easy, which is cool. All you do is turn the watch on when it's within 5 feet of the ANT+. By the time I checked my email for the day, my first 15 workouts were uploaded from the watch to my desktop. Details of each could be explored ad nauseam. The details are where it gets really fun and nerdy.
The Summary page in Garmin Connect shows all workouts and is sort-able– by date, sporting discipline, duration, etc. Workouts show up as "untitled" files, but can be re-named by route or date or whatever you like. They can also be exported as *.CSV files for easy manipulation in common spreadsheet software like Excel.
As soon as the workout is over, it's fun watching the data re-tell the story of the workout. Where was I trying my hardest to keep up with traffic? Did I let my heart rate sink too low while coasting down that hill? How long was that potty break at the gas station?
One weakness of the watch showed up in while lap swimming. The screenshot below is from a swim that lasted about 60 minutes. It included an extended warm up drill and then some 100 yard repeats—all freestyle, mind you. So, why does the 910xt think that I threw in a length of backstroke after completing a length in 0.0 seconds? I can only hope that the quirks like this average themselves out over the course of the workout.
- Accurate swim distance
- Comfortable heart rate strap
- Heart rate signal detected almost immediately
- Heart rate strap is waterproof
- The fully charged battery lasted just over 15 hours on day one of DWYRMAN
- Not overly big and clunky like older Garmin watches
- Can measure everything important in a multitude of ways:
- Heart Rate (beats/min, % of max, zone #, average),
- Speed (Instantaneous, average)
- Pace (instantaneous, average)
- Strokes, Power, Cadence, %Grade, Altitude, Position,
- Communicates with other ANT+ devices (which I didn't test)
- Once you upload your data, at the GarminConnect.com website, you can name your routes, share them, and compare them to previous performances
- The data analysis experience was clean and intuitive there
- Personalized settings so I could share the watch with my wife who has her own settings
- Heart rate fabric feels wimpy and prone to stinking (compared to my durable 6 year old Nike HR monitor strap)
- Heart rate monitor does not work under water
- "Multisport" setting is not a convenient setting for a non-traditional triathlon sequence like DWYRMAN (i.e. bike-swim-bike-swim-bike-swim-bike-swim-bike-swim-run-bike)
- Menu/buttons are hard to navigate for a newbie—(Would it possible to engineer a Blackberry-like trackball or scroll-button? It could be a business opportunity for the sinking ship that is Blackberry's maker, Research in Motion. Or maybe touchscreen is the way and RIM is just doomed.)
- Tough to read while riding the bike. The bike mount accessory (~$15) could be helpful but too timely to operate for a speedy race day transition. I'd rather just have a dedicated bike computer.
- The Mode button is difficult to push without simultaneously pushing the "Scroll up" button, which is the top secret button sequence that inconveniently locks all keys when you don't want it to
- Can take several minutes to find a satellite connection
- Battery did not last the claimed 20 hours on a full charge
- The data experience at Garmin Connect was not a social experience like the experience at strava.com or trainingpeaks.com, which deserve their own review in a future blog.
My favorite feature is the accuracy of the swim workouts, whether lap swimming or open water. Everyone knows they need to do more open water swimming and we'd all love to look at something other than the black lane lines at the pool. The watch can also push you to swim faster than your previous workouts by setting up the Virtual Partner feature. This is where it stands out from all other Garmin watches.
My second favorite feature is the post-workout analysis. It's so convenient that much of my training diary is basically written for me in a thorough and objective way. However, the analysis feature I was most hopeful for, but didn't find, was a method of measuring and displaying the duration of time I spend in each heart rate zone. Even my low-frill heart rate monitor does as much. And that's the most important metric I keep track of in my training diary. With the 910xt it would be possible to export the Garmin Connect data to an Excel spreadsheet and make the calculations myself, but it seems like an easy enough feature for Garmin to include in a future software update. Their inclusion of their "Training Effect" metric is a poor substitute that lacks the transparency and objectivity of a more thorough heart rate analysis.
After I conquered the initial software hurdles and figured out how to navigate the plethora of options, I really came to enjoy training with the 910xt. Then I made the mistake of letting my wife try it. She's been hoarding it ever since.
We have been doing a lot of trail running this year in preparation for our first 50 mile race in Madison, Wisconsin, in September. She loves it so much, she just ordered the 910xt for herself, (since we have to give the demo watch back to Garmin, of course). Her rationale was that the battery life, unlike other Garmin models, would last long enough for the 50 miler cut-off time of 13 hours, which the other Gamin GPS watches would not. Also, since most of her training is on trails in Cincinnati parks, without the GPS it would be tough to measure distance and altitude, which are important metrics to her. All-in-all, my earlier excuse for holding out for a great "triathlon" watch is no longer valid. It's even family-friendly.
As always,
Happy Training!!

On June 6th I'll be speaking at the Norway Developer Conference in Oslo, on the subject "How we do language design at Microsoft (VB/C#)". It will cover topics like how we designed Async, how we run our week-to-week language design process, where we get ideas from, how we recognize and respond to user requests and market needs, and some of our attitudes towards what a language should be.
Afterwards, I'll put the slides up here on this blog.
QUESTION: Are there any areas that you'd like to see discussed? Any questions you'd like answered? If you post questions or topics here as comments on this blog, then I'll take two weeks to think them over, and I'll incorporate the answers into my slides.
Disclaimer: The talk and slides will come solely from my personal experience from the past few years in my job as language PM — learning the ropes, working with the other language designers, running the VB language design meetings, and working as a VB/C# compiler developer. They certainly won't be Official Microsoft Statements on the subject "How Language Design Must Be Done".

There is a queen size sleigh bed in this room situated in front of a three window bow front. The amount of sun that bathes both bedrooms is truly pleasurable. There is a large marble table in the room with a 1950's wooden 'atomic shaped base' and matching chairs.
In brownstone townhouses the second bedroom was traditionally called 'the gentleman's bedroom'. It is smaller than the other bedroom but also accommodates a queen size bed and has its own closet/storage area.
The living room has its original period fireplace, midcentury Scandinavian string chairs, a wrought iron glass top table and a trundle bed/couch which comfortably sleeps two adults. This room has its original beautiful parquet wood floor. An Austen Air Hepa air filter is provided for your healthful pleasure
The bathroom is as sunny and airy as the rest of the apartment. It has its original green antique shell tile accents on the wall and original cast iron claw foot tub -- which is perfect for a long deep soak after a day of sightseeing . This tub is much larger than contemporary tubs and has an overhead shower attachment. The bathroom's Lucite storage unit houses a plethora of towels, complimentary toiletries and is topped by a sun loving ponytail palm.
OWNER OCCUPIED: This is very similar to a bed and breakfast without the additional cost. Unlike most vacation rentals the owner and his family live in the building. There is usually someone there to answer your questions or give you a native New Yorker's advice on this city. The building's owner is a published author and will give a Free personally inscribed edition of one of his coffee table sized art/history of NY books to every group who stays at his home for at least five days. This is a non-smoking building.
PLEASE NOTE: The apartment is on the 2nd floor so you will be walking up the stoop (stairs leading up to the entranceway pictured below) and then two flights of internal stairs. There is no elevator.

Hi: I'm Michael the owner of this home. I'm a native New Yorker, from the great Borough of Brooklyn. I've traveled all over the globe but Brooklyn is home. I live in this house with my family. My Manchester Terrier, Crixus, enjoys walks around the neighborhood and would happily accompany any of you who are homesick for your pet.
I write about New York and am happy to give advice about this great town.
I'm delighted to give one autographed and personally inscribed copy of a coffee table sized art/history book to any group of visitors to my home who stay at least five days.
Though I won't intrude on your privacy -- I hope during your stay we become friends and you will want to stay with me again when you come to NYC.
Michael purchased this house in 2011
This property is special, not only is it listed in both the NY State and National Register of Historical places for its architectural significance but it was built relatively late for a brownstone townhouse 1909 -- so the rooms are very large, much larger than the brownstones built earlier and the ceilings are very high. The house has many of the original architectural details, which are lacking in many of the recently restored buildings.
The bathroom has the house's original cast iron claw foot tub. These bathtubs are much larger and deeper than contemporary tubs. Having a good long soak after a day of exploring NYC is an added benefit.
I'm also a collector. The furniture, artwork and just feel of the house reflect my particular taste.
Michael was super friendly and warmly greeted us upon our arrival at the front door. He took the time to give us some history and description of Crown Heights, including subway stations, parks, and some recommendations on nearby neighborhoods to check out. The apartment itself was very spacious and clean for the 5 of us staying. He also had an air mattress in the closet, so this apartment could comfortably fit up to 8 people. All amenities in the listing were included. Lots of good food, bars, and convenient stores within walking distance. We really enjoyed our stay at this property and neighborhood, and would definitely come back! Thanks for your hospitality, Michael!
Location is nice & few minutes away from subway & grocery store.
Appartement suits basic needs.
great place, easy access to all of brooklyn!
Perfect location to subway. 2 blocks away and 15 to 20 minutes away from the city.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was very comfortable, plenty of room to relax. We had the entire top floor to ourselves. Michael was helpful and responsive, made the stay all the nicer. We really liked how sunny and bright the apartment is. Location was convenient to explore Brooklyn, and we found street parking easy. The building and apartment is old and funky, but clean and had everything we needed. Very very good value! I would recommend this place.
We found our place to be clean, roomy, close to where we wanted to be. Michael was kind and responsive. We would return. The building is an older brownstone and has typical wear for its age,that's what makes it charming.
North Crown Heights is one of Brooklyn's hottest gentrifying residential areas. It has the charms of Brownstone Townhouses and is a short walk to the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Children's Museum, Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens.
The house is a short distance from the Barclay Center. It is also very convenient for visiting the WatchTower.

4000 MW Mundra Ultra Mega Power Project (UMPP)
In the mid-1990s the Mega Power Project policy met with limited success. Hence, aligned with the objective of 'Power to all by 2012', the Government of India started planning Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPP) in 2005. Each of the projects with an installed capacity of 4000 MW was envisaged with the intent to make power available at minimum cost through economies of scale and superior, energy efficient and environment-friendly technology.
Coastal Gujarat Power Limited (CGPL), Tata Power's wholly-owned subsidiary, has implemented the 4000 MW (800 x 5 units) UMPP near the port city of Mundra in the state of Gujarat in India. This UMPP is India's first 800 MW unit thermal power plant using supercritical technology, and is arguably the most energy-efficient, coal-based thermal power plant in the country.
As per the bidding norms, the Project was designed to be run on imported coal. The Project is expected to benefit close to 16 million domestic consumers apart from supplying cost competitive power to industry and agriculture.
The Project will supply power to five states namely Gujarat, Rajasthan and Maharashtra in Western India and to Haryana and Punjab in Northern India, which are currently facing shortage of electricity. It will provide a competitive source of power and help meet these states' growing demand for electricity. Reliable power from the project will help improve the competitiveness of the manufacturing and services industries, which often rely on expensive standby diesel generation to meet their power needs. Competitively priced power will also improve access to electricity in rural and urban areas, while reducing the subsidy burden on the state Governments.

That's the gist of a survey released by carsharing leader Zipcar, which says young people between 18- and 34-years-old are more likely to be disrupted by the loss of their phone or computer than their car. Many of those surveyed indicated that they often use smartphone apps to reduce driving, either by finding public-transportation methods or communicating with friends virtually rather than in person. Details are in Zipcar's press release, below.
These results mirror those from a similar Zipcar study released 14 months ago, when 55 percent said they were "actively" trying to drive less. That was an increase from 2010, when the number was 45 percent. People between 18 and 34, aka "Millennials," are also about twice as likely to use transportation-related apps than those over 45. The new poll, conducted last December by KRC Research, surveyed about 1,000 people, many of which own pork-pie hats, we suspect.
World's Leading Car Sharing Network Reveals Latest Trends with Millennials and Technology
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Zipcar, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZIP), the world's leading car sharing network, released the findings an independent study of Millennials (18-34-year-olds), which examines the attitudes and behaviors of this generation related to urban transportation, technology and car ownership. Overall, the study found that the increasing availability of on-demand mobility services (such as car sharing, ride sharing and vehicle sharing) helps many Millennials drive less and makes it easier to for them to live without owning a car.
The study, conducted in December 2012 by KRC Research, reveals that mobile devices and on-demand transportation apps are more important to Millennials than car ownership:
Nearly two in three (65 percent) of Millennials say losing their phone (30 percent) or computer (35 percent) would have a greater negative impact on their daily routine than losing their car (28 percent).
One in four Millennials (25 percent) say transportation apps have reduced their driving frequency, compared to less than 12 percent of those 45+.
Millennial Social Trends: Teched Out, Not Stressed Out
Some say Millennials are too stressed out to take time for themselves these days. Zipcar's survey indicates that they're simply savvy and taking advantage of technology and convenience:
- Nearly three quarters (73 percent) of Millennials would rather shop online than drive or ride public transit to the store.
- Nearly half (47 percent) of Millennials sometimes choose to spend time with friends online instead of driving to see them in person.
In addition to the influence of technology and availability of alternatives discussed above, the study found that more traditional influences – like the high cost of car ownership and environmental concerns associated with excessive driving – are compelling many Millennials to drive less.
"Mobility has defined new expectations for Millennials," said Jonathan Yarmis , Principal Analyst at Yarmis Group. "They are used to getting what they want, when they want it and mobility solutions are changing the way they decide how to get from one place to another. Having transportation services on-demand is becoming essential to serve the expectations of this new generation."
The third annual Millennials study included 1,015 adults nationwide, age 18 and over, with 980 licensed drivers. Conducted between December 6 and December 9, 2012, the online study utilized data weighted by demographic variables to match the U.S. Census.

Function Literals in Scala
If you come from an imperative language background like many of us do, you may find it hard to avoid mutable data types in Scala. Scala gives the option to use mutable data, but that really pushes you away from the functional beauty of Scala.
One trick that will help you avoid having to reach for a mutable type is something called a "Function Literal", which is essentially a function made on the fly without being bound to an identifier. Function literals also have many other uses beyond what this post will discuss, but you should still have a good feel for function literals after this.
1. Introduction to Function Literals
Here's the standard structure for a function literal:
(arg1 : ArgType, arg2 : ArgType, ... , argN : ArgType) => Function Body
In most cases, you can ignore the argument's types, due to Scala's type system.
(arg1, arg2) => Function Body
Here are a few example function literals:
(x : Int, y : Int) => x * y (x, y) => x + y x => x*10
It's important to note the parentheses can be ignored if you have only one param
2. Basic Example
Now that we understand the structure of function literals we'll now go over some basic applications of function literals.
Here's a function that will evaluate the literal you pass into it at 1, 10 and 100.
def evaluateAndPrint( foo: Int => Int ){ println("Here's the result of your literal at 1: "+ foo(1)) println("Here's the result of your literal at 10: "+ foo(10)) println("Here's the result of your literal at 100: "+ foo(100)) }
Now let's try running evaluateAndPrint with a few different literals.
evaluateAndPrint(bar => bar*2) >Here's the result of your literal at 1: 2 >Here's the result of your literal at 10: 20 >Here's the result of your literal at 100: 200 evaluateAndPrint(baz => baz*baz) >Here's the result of your literal at 1: 1 >Here's the result of your literal at 10: 100 >Here's the result of your literal at 100: 10000
3. Using Literals in Lists
In this example I'll show you some of the methods of list that require literals as arguments. Frequently if you were to do this in Java there would be mutable types being used, here there are none.
Here I make a list
scala> val myList = List("foo", "bar", "baz", "abcd") myList: List[java.lang.String] = List(foo, bar, baz, abcd)
Checking the number of elements whose length are 3.
scala> myList.count(s => s.length == 3) res0: Int = 3
Checking if bar exists in the list
scala> myList.exists(s => s == "bar") res1: Boolean = true
Adding another "bar" to the end of every element. This does not modify the current list, but rather returns a new list.
scala> myList.map(s => s + "bar") res2: List[java.lang.String] = List(foobar, barbar, bazbar, abcdbar)
Verifying that myList has not changed.
scala> println(myList) res3: List(foo, bar, baz, abcd)
This will return a new list without the elements whose length are 3
scala> myList.remove(s => s.length == 3) res4: List[java.lang.String] = List(abcd)
Again, verifying that our list has not changed.
scala> println(myList) res5: List(foo, bar, baz, abcd)


text: The world is a crazy place. No matter how much you beat your girlfriends or your wives, apparently if you are famous enough, you can get a date. Chad Johnson was spotted out on a date with A.J. Johnson. Yeah, I know, I had to look her up too. She was in House Party. That was like 30 years ago. She is also approaching 50, so maybe Chad figures if he dates older women they won't mind so much being cheated on everyday or getting beaten if they question him about it. Why would you date him? He is a washed up football player who probably has not been saving his money because he always thought he would save the money from his next contract and now realizes he probably won't get another contract. No network should hire him because he is a wife beater. So, that leaves him with what? Spending the next 50 years retired, wishing how he could have changed things and staring down at the tattoo he got of his ex-wife?

At the end of Psychonauts [spoilers you guys!] Raz is recognized as a great PSI-Cadet and is asked to join his tutors as a fully fledged Psychonaut! But just as Raz is about to go home from camp with his father, news arrives that the Grand Head of the Psychonauts (and Lili's father) Truman Zanotto, has been kidnapped. The team, Raz and Lili included, fly off in the Psychonauts jet to rescue him.
Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin is a totally new game that will bridge the story gap between the original Psychonauts and the forthcoming sequel! Did we mention we were making a sequel? Well we want to - help us make it a reality by backing our crowdfunding campaign!
Watch the Day of the Tentacle Remastered Trailer!
Making its debut at the PlayStation Experience this weekend, the first official Day of the Tentacle Remastered trailer !
Originally released by LucasArts in 1993 as a sequel to Ron Gilbert's ground breaking Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle is a mind-bending, time travel, cartoon puzzle adventure game in which three unlikely friends work together to prevent an evil mutated purple tentacle from taking over the world!
Now, over twenty years later, Day of the Tentacle is back in a remastered edition that features all new hand-drawn, high resolution artwork, with remastered audio, music and sound effects (which the original 90s marketing blurb described as 'zany!')
Players are able to switch back and forth between classic and remastered modes, and mix and match audio, graphics and user interface to their heart's desire. We've also included a concept art browser, and recorded a commentary track with the game's original creators Tim Schafer, Dave Grossman, Larry Ahern, Peter Chan, Peter McConnell and Clint Bajakian.
Day of the Tentacle was Tim Schafer's first game as co-project lead, and a much beloved cult classic! This special edition has been lovingly restored and remade with the care and attention that can only come from involving the game's original creators. It's coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita (Plus PC and Mac) early next year!
Announcing Full Throttle Remastered!
With the smell of burning asphalt hanging staunchly in the air we're proud to announce that we'll be remastering Tim Schafer's classic LucasArts adventure game Full Throttle!
Following speedily in the still-smoking-tyre-tracks of the Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle Remastered editions, Full Throttle Remastered will complete the trilogy of Tim's games from LucasArts that we've been given the chance to restore. Just like those games, we will make a Remaster with the quality, care and attention to detail that can only come from involving the original creators.
Full Throttle Remastered will feature all new artwork, with high resolution backgrounds and animation, with each frame being repainted by hand. We'll be aiming to restore the sound and music to a higher quality, and we'll also fill the game with special features like concept artwork, commentary tracks and as many other things as we can think of!
Full Throttle Remastered will be coming to PC & PlayStation platforms in 2017!
Help us make Psychonauts 2!
Yes you read that right. We're very excited to announce that we will be making Psychonauts 2, but we need your help to do it!
We've launched a new crowdfunding campaign on www.fig.co where we hope to raise $3.3m to put towards making the game! In addition to this, Double Fine will be putting up a significant portion of the development funds ourselves, and getting another piece of the budget from an external partner. None of these three parts on their own is enough, but together they add up to a sequel worthy of Psychonauts!
We've put together a collection of crowdfunding rewards we think Psychonauts fans will be really excited about! In addition to that we're also excited to be the first crowdfunding campaign in history that is also able to allow investment from both accredited and unaccredited investors. That means you can choose rewards, or you can invest for a return of the profits.
We've often talked about making this game, but we've never been able to raise the budget we need to make it happen. Now with your help, we can finally get there! so please back Psychonauts 2 and help us make the game we've always wanted to make!
Check out all the rewards and information over here: www.fig.co

Canadian banks have come a long way when it comes to promoting women: No more boys-only clubs in the boardroom, fewer fears about missing a promotion because of maternity leave.
But diversity committees and gender equality campaigns can only achieve so much. In a rare display of candour, five top female executives from Bank of Montreal's wealth management arm came together ahead of International Women's Day on Saturday to talk frankly about what women need to do to get ahead.
While they had heard all the slogans – "leaning in," "breaking the glass ceiling," "having it all" – they stressed the most important thing a woman can do is to take personal responsibility for her career advancement.
Charyl Galpin, who started at BMO as a teller more than 35 years ago and is now co-head of BMO Nesbitt Burns, refers to herself as "Charyl Galpin Inc." when offering advice to younger women to emphasize that she sees herself working in a partnership with the bank, knowing that BMO won't, and can't, do everything for her.
Julie Barker-Merz, chief operating officer of BMO Insurance, echoed the sentiment. "You need to take charge, and you can't wait for things to happen," she said.
One of the top things young women can do is seek out the right mentors. While banks often assign these advisers to younger employees, the executives on the panel argued that women need to search for people with whom they feel a natural bond.
"Finding a mentor is sort of like finding a hair-dresser," said Myra Cridland, head of BMO Harris private banking. "It's someone you have to have some chemistry with, and they take a personal interest in you."
Forming a network certainly helped Ms. Barker-Merz. After sailing through the ranks during her first decade at the bank, she felt she hit a plateau when she reached senior management. Male colleagues kept moving up the rungs based on their potential, but she did not. Frustrated, she considered leaving BMO. However, she reached out to other women, and they helped guide her.
Younger women coming up through the bank today seem to be bolder and "don't feel the need to ask for permission," Ms. Barker-Merz said, adding that she will occasionally get e-mails from young women she's never met who ask her to go for coffee.
"I think as women we all need our tribe, people we can call and [receive] support from," she said. "As leaders we all share that responsibility to help start that and spark that."
Top executives can help in other ways, such as being frank about the consequences of making their careers a top priority. When Caroline Dabu, head of BMO's wealth planning group, got pregnant, she told her boss she would take only five months off. She held true to her word, but that often meant coming into the office with little or no sleep.
The executives also say they make it a point to be open with colleagues about balancing their personal and professional lives. If they have to leave early to take their child to a dentist appointment or make it home for family dinner, they say so. "I remember getting advice from some women years ago – put your jacket on the back of your chair and leave your office door open" to make people think she was still in the office, said Ms. Barker-Merz. "You don't need to do that any more."
Still, there is a distance to go. "We had a lot of progress in the 1980s," she said, referring to gender equality, "and I think everyone felt good about it," but the pace of change has been slow since.
For that reason she supports initiatives such as the recent proposal from the Ontario Securities Commission that would require companies to report on their gender diversity initiatives at the board and executive level each year.Report Typo/Error

Rootkits are both tricky and stealthy, but there are still some things that you can do if you suspect that one of your Linux system has been infected. After all, a rootkit is going to be doing something if it's to be of any value to the miscreants that deployed it. In addition, its authors will have had a hard time trying to engineer their tools to avoid everything that detection tools are going to throw at it to identify and remove it.
The bad news is that detecting rootkits takes far more insight than noticing and identifying your typical virus. Many are designed to resemble device drivers so that it's possible for them to run at a more privileged level in the operating system. Rootkits often replace a keyboard or network driver, for example. The way that modern operating systems are broken into distinct privilege "layers" and numerous modules, loaded when needed and each of which manages a distinct function within the OS, makes this possible.
Sometimes root kits will replace commands such as netstat, du, find, ifconfig, netd, killall and lsof while they will just provide support for other malware -- allowing it to run undetected or providing access to the system through backdoors. The flexibility and modularity of operating systems is, thus, also something of a "weak link" as far as security is concerned.
When you suspect a rootkit has been installed on a system, the first thing you need to decide is what the first step ought to be. Some will say that you should immediately detach it from your network, isolating it for further analysis. Others will say that you may lose valuable insights into what the rootkit is doing if you move too quickly. Besides, depending on the role the system is playing, pulling it off the network could have drastic implications if provides a critical service. On a well designed network, your critical services will be set up in such a way that you can roll them over to another system.
If your aim is to learn as much as you can about the rootkit, rebooting the system might be a bad idea. The rootkit might be one that is confined to memory and your evidence may be gone if you reboot too soon. In any case, this – how to proceed when a rootkit is suspected -- kind of decision is one that should be made long before you have to act.
You should consider detaching from your network and, at some point, shutting down the system and booting in single user mode. The key question is what's more important -- figuring out what happened or getting the system up and working again. If you must get it online again as quickly as possible, are you prepared to make an image of the infected system for analysis? If you can, that image might provide you with important insights after the fact.
It's a good to have a rescue CD or DVD on hand so that you can look at an infected system (or a potentially infected system) without depending on tools or commands that are installed on the system. When a rootkit is likely, all of them are suspect.
Some of the tools and commands you should have on that rescue CD or DVD include chkrootkit -- an open source application for checking for the presence of rootkits and mk5sum. On rpm-based systems, you will also find that the rpm command itself can prove very useful in detecting file changes that can tell you a lot about what files might be involved in your rootkit.
You can get chkrootkit from http://www.chkrootkit.org. It will:
- check system binaries for modification
- check if the network interface is in promiscuous mode
- analyze lastlog, wtmp and utmp files for potential deletions (also wtmpx on Solaris systems)
- look for Loadable kernel module trojans
You can use the find command to locate files that have the immutable (sticky) bit set -- something that some rootkits will do to keep the hacked files from being removed. You can also find files with the suid and sgid bits, but this might be less valuable than you might first think since rootkits will be running with root privilege and, thus, don't require this kind of support.
$ find / -type d -perm -1000 -exec ls -ld {} \;
You can also do some clever things with the rpm command. The rpm -V or rpm --verify command will show file and metadata changes that have occurred since installation. These commands look at checksums as well as permissions and file sizes Use rpm -V packagename to verify a single application. Use the -Va options to check all installed packages.
You can expect to see a sequence of dots like S.5....T followed by the name of a changed file. When you do, you'll know what has changed. Each of the letters between the dots has a particular meaning.
letter meaning (i.e., what has changed) ====== ================================ S file size M mode 5 MD5 sum D device major/minor numbers L readLink path U user ownership G group ownership T mtime
If you get no output with rpm -V, you can add a lowercase v to see a list of the files being checked. They should be preceded by a string of dots showing that none of the changes described above were detected.
There are many free and commercial tools for detecting and removing rootkits. And any rootkit designer is going to be using them too. The best tool likely depends on the particular rootkit and we are likely to continue to see the game of one-upmanship (rootkit authors trying to outsmart detectors and vice versa) for many years to come.

Aztecs No-Hit In 1-0 Loss At No. 7 Texas A&M
May 12, 2012
COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Texas A&M senior right-hander Ross Stripling faced the minimum and tossed a no-hitter in the Aggies 1-0 win over San Diego State Saturday afternoon at Blue Bell Park in College Station, Texas. The win improved the Aggies to 36-14 while SDSU dropped to 22-29.
The lone Aztec to reach base on the day was freshman Seby Zavala, who drew a one-out base on balls in the top of the fifth. Zavala was then thrown out at second base attempting to steal. Stripling had retired the first 13 batters he faced prior to the walk and then set down the next 13 hitters in order. His complete-game effort included sevens strikeouts as he improved to 9-2 on the season.
In the end, it was just an unearned run that separated the teams during the contest. San Diego State freshman Michael Cederoth (3-4) was the victim of SDSU's defensive lapses as he would take the loss despite allowing the unearned run on the bottom of the second.
In that inning, Chance Bolcerek reached base on a one-out error by third baseman Steven Pallares. Cederoth compounded that miscue with a throwing error on a pickoff attempt that sent Bolcerek to second before Blake Allemand's two-out single brought him home for what would be the only run of the game.
Cederoth would go 4.1 innings allowing three hits along with a pair of walks while striking out three. The right-hander was forced from the game due to injury when he was struck on the jaw by a line drive in the bottom of the fifth.
Cederoth's departure brought sophomore lefty Cole Swanson out of the bullpen in what was his first appearance since undergoing an appendectomy back on March 5. Swanson would toss 2.2 innings and surrender just a pair of hits and a walk with one strikeout. Junior Travis Pitcher came on to pitch the eighth and retired the side in order with one strikeout.
San Diego State and Texas A&M will conclude their weekend series on Sunday (May 13) with a contest scheduled for a noon (CT) start. That contest will be televised live on Cox SD4 in San Diego.

Man dies in New Smyrna home invasion
By MELANIE STAWICKI AZAM
NEW SMYRNA BEACH A Port Orange man was fatally shot in a home invasion robbery Monday night, after two suspects wearing masks burst into a home where a group was playing cards and demanded money, police said.
David Michael Turner, 62, was killed when one of the suspects discharged his weapon and struck him at about 9:20 p.m. at 503 Mill Run Drive, according to a New Smyrna Beach Police Department press release. Suspects fled the scene and EVAC responded to the home and pronounced Turner, who resided at 242 N. Brighton Drive, dead.
The suspects are described as two males. One is tall and slender, between 62 to 65 tall and 250 pounds. The other is described as being of a medium build to stocky build, between 58 to 510 tall and 260 pounds.
Anyone with information about the identity of the suspects involved in this home invasion robbery are asked to immediately contact Detective Diffin at (386) 424-2248 or Crime Stoppers at 888-277-TIPS.
Lessons learned without giving too much information.... Your chances of dying in an armed robbery-home invasion are much greater if you are playing at an illegal card game than they are if you are home quietly reading the Bible. Although violence can happen anywhere, why push it? It was reported on the local TV station that PD is investigating the fact that this was no penny-ante card game in someone's den, but an organized high-stakes game.
We didn't hear the shots, but you could practically see this from the station. It was reported on local TV, but not here in the paper, that the weapon was a rifle. PD has a description of the vehicle, hoping someone will tell. We feel that it's likely that the getaway car went by our front door after this happened. Thoughts?

'Escape rooms' challenge Americans with puzzling adventures
By Lisa Lambert
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Dental lab technician Jon Choi and his friends celebrated his birthday this month under pressure: they were locked together in a small "escape room" and had to solve a series of puzzles to achieve their freedom within 60 minutes.
They finally made it out with one minute to spare.
Choi avidly plays computer games with the same set-up, but had never visited a physical escape room before. The experience was both fun and tough enough that he is now planning to try other similar rooms.
He has plenty of options. Escape rooms are the latest entertainment phenomena to seize the United States, where people break out of locked rooms using their smarts, or any that the friends, family members or strangers interred with them may possess. There are more than 100 across the country, according to the Escape Room Directory, charging between $20 and $30 for the experience.
In an era when socializing no longer requires real-time conversation and the answers to all life's questions are a screen-tap away, those seeking to connect with others in person and use their own knowledge for intellectual challenges find the rooms refreshing. The concept has captivated Americans so much that the Science Channel created the game show "Race to Escape" around it.
Themes of the independently-owned rooms vary from place to place. In Pittsburgh, families are encouraged to share "bonding time" in the "Prison Escape" room. In Los Angeles, players can relive their city's Raymond Chandler past in a room called "The Detective."
Once the door is closed and the timer set, the first puzzle emerges. Its solution leads to the next puzzle. Clues are tucked all over the room, some in plain sight and others in secret compartments. Step by step, players solve the overarching mystery of the room.
For Choi and his friends at Escape Room Live in Alexandria, Virginia, that mystery revolved around fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. Continued...

Building upon experiences and accomplishments during its first two years, ETLP has evolved from individual research projects to decentralized, team-based groups formed around common teaching problems and questions in both high school and university classrooms. The project supports three teams of high school teachers and University faculty as they conduct collaborative classroom research projects. Research questions are required to be relevant to classroom teaching and learning interests of team members, with broader implications across disciplines.
Following a year-long schedule, teams began planning and preparation in mid-summer for projects to be conducted and data collected throughout the fall, followed by analysis in January, preliminary conclusions and reports by March, and dissemination in galleries, conferences, or publications by the spring.
CATL provides support as needed for the design and implementation of the research project, including development of research questions, data collection techniques, qualitative and quantitative analysis, and interpreting findings in the context of each team's research questions. The teams are also guided through the process of applying for permission to conduct human subjects research through Elon's Internal Review Board (IRB). Each team submitted a budget for expenses, such as special equipment or materials.

How does an explicit focus on social pedagogies in course/project design impact student and faculty experiences in high school and college classrooms?
This group will explore the impact of social pedagogies on course design practices, teaching, and students' learning. Social pedagogies broaden the context for learning by combining elements of authenticity, social construction, communication, and content. Engaged learning should involve both students and faculty members, classroom and community, learning and application, connection and contemplation. Social pedagogies provide the space to explore these tensions intentionally and open a rich area for the research in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.
Plans are to focus on existing research , building upon the social pedagogies framework developed by a research group led by Randy Bass and Heidi Elmendorf at Georgetown University. Varied pedagogical interests and approaches would allow each researcher the opportunity to extend research conducted on this initial framework by concurrently developing their courses and exploring different aspects of the framework "petals" simultaneously. By examining social pedagogies in both secondary and post-secondary settings rather than solely post-secondary the team may begin to make some preliminary claims about the value of these pedagogies in a variety of educational settings. The proposed research question crosses disciplines and academic levels, while encouraging cooperation and research among teachers.

How can we better prepare students for the transition from high school to college level work?
The goal of this research is to understand 'analysis', which can bea key stumbling block for students in both high school and college. Building on Blooms' Revised Taxonomy, this group will examine analysis broadly; one who can analyze well can understand data in order to understand the past, to interpret what is, and to move into the future by making wise decisions based on that data.
Science students at Graham High School—and many at Elon—tend to feel most comfortable when working in the bottom three categories of Bloom's revised taxonomy: remember, understand, and apply. Improving students' ability to analyze various types of information will help them learn to evaluate and create, which are much more complex and deeper learning activities. This, the group hopes to show, will not only improve student confidence during problem solving and critical thinking activities but may also improve student test scores in all academic areas thus motivating students. If this research pinpoints areas where students struggle as they approach and engage in analysis tasks, teachers can focus efforts on those specific areas. Correlating the results for high school students and college students will allow high school teachers to better prepare their students to enter into college and will allow college professors to better assist their students as they transition into college level work.

|bit by JCR-1558 - what are valid workarounds?
|Tue, 06 Jul 2010 13:26:49 GMT
I got hit by JCR-1558[1] (Namespaces aren't registered on cluster nodes) and started to look at how Sling could potentially work around this problem. For those that don't know, in Sling, namespaces can be registered via an OSGi bundle header (Sling-Namespaces). Namespaces registered in this fashion are added to the Namespace Registry when a session is requested. However, as seen in JCR-1558, this is too late - the namespace registry needs to be populated at the time of workspace initialization. For Sling, this is an entirely opaque process - we just call RepositoryImpl.create() and get a Repository. In this thread: http://markmail.org/message/r66bwh3tkzu46tam, there's discussion of working around the problem by reregistering the custom namespaces on node start, but I don't see how that's possible. The only valid workaround I've found is to manually modify the ns_idx.properties and ns_reg.properties files manually which doesn't seem like a solution we would codify in Sling. Any ideas? Thanks, Justin [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1558
