After watching this clip from the Miss America pageant, it's easy to see why Miss Iowa didn't take the crown. When asked her thoughts on the legalization of marijuana, Mariah Cary accidently answered, "I do not think it should be used for anything but recreational use and health care." Although the flub was minute, it changed the entire scope of her answer. However, the judges seemed to forgive her mistake. Mariah was the fourth runner-up in the overall competition.
Watch her Q&A mishap below:

I'm looking at getting purchasing my school books through amazon's kindle service. I can then install the kindle app on a tablet and use it. What I'm worried about is long term reading. Does anyone here have experience with eye strain while reading on a tablet? Any other input?
I gave a Kindle Fire to my GF for Christmas, and she loves it! Sure, it can't access the Android Market, but the Amazon Appstore is not bad. It still does Netflix and FB just fine, and its browser is decent. Also, 7" is just right (queue the "that's what she said" jokes). For $199, it's a steal! You can also look into the nook from B&N or a full-featured Android tablet.
Just buy a Kindle Fire and root it. Also, the e-ink readers are obviously easiest on the eyes since they're just like reading paper. Anything back-lit will cause eye strain, especially if you use it in low light.
I purchased one of my texts on Kindle and read it via the app on my iPad, no issue with strain as I used it as a textbook basically, in fully lit environments. One thing you might want to consider, not sure how easy it is to search for stuff in text on the Fire but with the iPad app it was pretty easy especially on the 9/10" screen.
BUMP! So, for those that have used them, how's the virtual keyboard on the 7" Kindle screen? I would use mine for browsing and light word processing, and one of the reviews I read said it was kinda cramped. But I really like the size, so I can slip it in my pocket. Currently debating between: Kindle Fire 7" - ($199) Samsung Galaxy 8.9" - ($349) Samsung Galaxy 10.1" - ($399) Toshiba Thrive 10.1" - ($399) EDIT: And the long shot: iPad 2 16GB - ($429)
i just got the kindle last night, for what it does its pretty awesome, im going to root it to ics though tonight so that i can play CBT videos on it
Take the plunge into a Galaxy Note? 5.3" phablet. My mother-in-law picked up a Kindle Fire in New Orleans when she was down that way earlier this month. I got to play with it. Pretty nice for what it could do. And she got a $50 walmart gift card along with it. So it ended up costing $149 (if you look at it like that). Not to shabby. And the keyboard was fine. Although I'm not a big fan of stock. Swiftkey FTW. Don't know if it works on stock Kindle Fire OS though.
The Apple Slut in me says go for the iPad, however, you really should get a non-Kindle tablet. I think you're going to regret the interface Amazon uses if you're not using it primarily for reading or buying stuff off of Amazon (which is what it was designed for).
LOL Apple Slut. If you get the kindle, there's a community out there creating custom ROMs, so you could get ICS on it, or a different launcher. Or at least root it.
The appeal of the Kindle is: a) price, and b) Prime content. I'm already a Prime member so I would literally get all those movies and books and TV shows for free. Plus as MasterB said rooting it is easy and thus far Amazon doesn't seem to be actively thwarting those efforts.
If you're primarily looking to read (and for long periods) I would consider the massive difference in battery life. One would last maybe a day, the other, months. I can't tell you how nice it is not to have to plug yet another thing in at the end of every day.
I'm not much of a reader, it would be a tertiary feature. And thanks to my short attention span for short periods. Anyway, I'll have my hands on a Kindle Fire to play with after work. My wife ordered one to replace her first gen Kindle, so I get to do an extended trial of it before I buy for myself.
OK, so initial opinion of the Fire: Pros Price! Solid feel, just the right size to fit in your hand/pocket Amazon interface is polished Nice screen Free Amazon Prime content is awesome Cons Small, typing is cramped in portrait mode Doesn't appear to be quite as responsive as the Thrive, iPad, or Galaxy No camera, front or back So frankly I still don't know what I'm going to buy. As nice/cheap as it is, I found myself reaching for my netbook to type and edit photos. I'm going to stick with it though, as some of that is just the learning curve and getting things set up. If I had to wager right now I'll likely buy a larger tablet, the Galaxy or Thrive.
The iPad 3 is confirmed for launch on March 7th. If you wait I'll bet you can score an iPad 2 for pretty cheap. http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/28/ipad-3-launch-date-march-7/
Probably not. That's the problem with Apple and it's products...they're like the honda/toyota/nissan of tablets/phones. The freakin' things retain their value quite well...so you might get a USED iSoulstone for only slightly less than what it originally went for new.
Sooo tempting. But I generally avoid the refurbs just because of the abbreviated warranty period. In regards to iPad 3, what's the rumor mill been saying about new features?
Confirmed features: Retina Display as on the iPhone 4/4S Quad Core CPU 4G LTE Rumored: (possibly thinner and no physical home button)
Well, been toying with the Kindle and the Lenovo A1. I think I can live with the 7" screen, but I really want the cameras so I think the Kindle is out. Not going to buy anything until the Apple announcement on Wednesday. iPad 3 (or 2S or whatever) will almost certainly have Suri, and that's kinda a big deal. Plus there's rumors of another price cut to fend off the Kindle and Nook.
Retina display, and a better camera. No Siri... <yawn> Bright news for me is that this will be the current iPads should drop in price to clear them out. http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/07/tech/mobile/ipad-3-announcement/index.html?hpt=hp_t1

And yet despite years of programming expertise, months of blood, sweat and tears to create the perfect game, it can be all undone if you don't have someone who knows about it and wants to buy it, play it etc.
Here's a few ideas:
I see many browser game websites that look interesting but next to nothing about the game, maybe a few rules, a login/signup page. And that's it! Der!
Any other suggestions?
Guide to Online Game Development
Well of course most techie's can't think in terms of marketing, it's a totally different way of thinking and most people can only think in one way, unless they have multiple personalities. I always thought techies think in binary and code and sales and marketing people think about smells and tastes. A game will sell because an average person can make someones head explode with great detail...... A techie likes a game because of the code written that makes someones head explode with great detail! There is a difference!
When you market a game you have to have that edge of what is hot right NOW and from what I see is EVERYBODY HAS MISSED THE BOAT ON WHAT SHOULD BE THE THE HOTTEST GENRE IN GAME DESIGN!!!! Come on guys....... war games....GTA garbage.....Build the Civilization junk......ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz boring!
If you want to market a game successfully you better follow what the movie industry does and give clips of what the people think is interesting AT THE TIME! How many times have you seen a preview for a movie and it got you in the theater...Only to find that when you left the theater the best parts of the film was what you saw in the previews. Or the Big Mac looks soooo good in the commercial and HA when you get one it looks like someone sat on it!
Well I looked for Koyaanisqatsi and I think I've got you identified. Can you hear a helicopter hovering overhead? <g>
Ideas are fine but as I wrote recently in Is Copying a Game Idea Wrong? The best way, indeed about the only way, to protect it is to keep it secret. Else this can happen!
The average buyer well online anyway seems to like running a farm and/or cafe.
Guide to Online Game Development
Yeah! I truly agree with this one. Some gamers don't have great skills in marketing the same way they do as developing games. I have an experience with this one because a friend of mine is a game developer himself but doesn't have enough skills to market his games. Since I'm a graduate of marketing, I tried helping out. We are in business together up to date and this have been going so well. Marketing can be a bit hard because you need the skills to talk-the-talk with consumers and make them feel how special and how great your game really is.

Linux Timeline
Linux Journal celebrated the publication of its 100th issue in 2002 with the release of the Linux Timeline. It's now 2006, Linux itself turns 15 this year and Linux Journal, a little older, grayer and wiser, is soon to release it's 150th issue. In celebration and in honor of an amazing community's history we're compiling the significant events of 2002 through 2006 (and of course anything from earlier years that we may have previously missed).
We ask you to take a few minutes of time and help record history. Consider this article post a giant whiteboard -- comment on the event or events you find to be most significant in Linux's recent history, you'll likely see our editors doing just the same.
We'll compile the events and re-release the timeline for all to share in the upcoming months.
Ready? Here we go:
``Hello everybody out there using minix - I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things).I've currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work. This implies that I'll get something practical within a few months, and I'd like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions are welcome, but I won't promise I'll implement them :-) Linus (PS. Yes - it's free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs. It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-(.''
Peter MacDonald announces SLS, the first standalone Linux install. At least 10MB of space on disk was recommended.
Slackware, by Patrick Volkerding, becomes the first commercial standalone distribution and quickly becomes popular within the Linux community.
Matt Welsh's Linux Installation and Getting Started, version 1 is released. This is the first book on Linux.
The first issue of Linux Journal is published. This issue featured an interview with Linus Torvalds and articles written by Phil Hughes, Robert ``Bob'' Young, Michael K. Johnson, Arnold Robbins, Matt Welsh, Ian A. Murdock, Frank B. Brokken, K. Kubat, Micahel Kraehe and Bernie Thompson. Advertisers in the premier issue include Algorithms Inc., Amtec Engineering, Basmark, Fintronic (later became VA Research, VA Linux Systems, then...), Infomagic, Prime Time Freeware, Promox, Signum Support, SSC, Trans Ameritech, USENIX, Windsor Tech and Yggdrasil.
Linux 1.0 is released.
While at a conference in New Orleans, Jon ``maddog'' Hall persuades Linus to port Linux to DEC's 64-bit Alpha computer processor chip. Less than two weeks later, maddog had also persuaded DEC to fund the project. An Alpha workstation was immediately sent to Linus. ``Digital [DEC] and the Linux community formed the first truly successful venture of suits and Linux geeks working together'', said maddog.
Linux International, a nonprofit vendor organization, is founded by Jon ``maddog'' Hall. Linux International goes on to become a major contributor to the success of Linux, helping corporations and others work toward the promotion of the Linux operating system.
Linux trademark dispute: is Linux trademarked? William R. Della Croce, Jr. files for the trademark ``Linux'' on August 15, 1994, and it is registered in September. Della Croce has no known involvement in the Linux community yet sends letters out to prominent Linux companies demanding money for use of the trademark ``Linux''. A lawsuit is filed in 1996 against Della Croce. Plaintiffs in the suit include Linus Torvalds; Specialized Systems Consultants, Inc. (publishers of Linux Journal); Yggdrasil Computing, Inc.; Linux International; and WorkGroup Solutions (also known as LinuxMall). The plaintiffs prevail, and in 1997 announce the matter as settled by the assignment of the mark to Linus Torvalds on behalf of all Petitioners and Linux users.
Have you released the compiled list ?
The 150th issue is still released, but I can´t find the compiled list with all Linux events from 2002. Will we the the list next time?
Can you make a continuation? like Linux Timeline II
I think the continuation would very interesting.
Like SCO's Unix and Linux copyright claims, etc.
MCC Interim Linux
MCC Interim Linux distribution, was made available to the public for download on the ftp server of University of Manchester in February, 1992.
Re that Microsoft print ad,
Re that Microsoft print ad, another, larger version is here: <http://www.ao.com/~regan/penguins/>, along with a parody rejoinder.
Infamous Microsoft print ad
I had a hunt around for that (in)famous Microsoft print ad you mentioned from October 2000. Here's a copy still online: <http://quartus.net/msad/>.
No mention of the switch
No mention of the switch from a.out to ELF? The first port a non-intel system (it was DEC alpha, right?)? SMP support in the 1.2 kernel, when it started becoming more than just a hobby OS?
A bit weak on the early big events, I'd say.
-- Allen, linux user since November 1993
Small correction
Samba 2.0 is released. It contains a reverse-engineered implementation of the Microsoft domain controller protocols, allowing Linux servers to provide complete services to Windows networks.
I'd like to correct this statement. Samba was technically not developped via reverse engineering, but by sniffing the network traffic. To many the difference may seem irrelevant, but it is in fact of significant legal importance. The Samba team has never used reverse-engineering for their work. See e.g. http://chaosradio.ccc.de/cre025.html Sorry a german podcast only (Interview with Volker Lendecke)
Other events: HAL & Ubuntu
The day HAL was released should be remembered. HAL allowed a lot of the Ease of use stuff to go forward.
VMware for Linux
I think VMware support for Linux in 1998 is a great milestone too.
Linux TimeLine - Yggdrasil 1994
Major point missed in article - Summer 1994 - Yggdrasil makes Linux available on crdom. This was the first offering (that I know of) that allowed the average Joe to get his hands on Linux. I've still got my cdrom, boot disk, and (rather good) instruction pamphlet from Yggdrasil and the white box 386sx that I ran it on. Working for (then) Western Electric which had close ties to Bell Labs I had been using Unix at work for years but it wasn't until the Yggdrasil cdrom that I had it running at home. mmmmmmmmmm virtual terminals and a Unix like environment -- great memories.
August 1994 Walnut Creek -2 CD set SlackWare
Bought this 2 CD set in Europe in a computershop, january 1995.
It saved me a lot of money because I only had a 14.4 k modem, like most people in those day's, so the early CD distributions played a very important role in the adoption of oss.
Slackware 2.0 , Sunsite, rsx-11 and mail archives
And last but not least everything about X Windows.
May 2003
Researchers at the University of Chicago turn Sony Playstations into a Linux based supercomputer.
January 2003
Rumors of SCO's intellectual property lawsuit plans surface. Two months later they file suit against IBM claiming breach of contract and theft of trade secrets. More lawsuits are to come.
What happened since Feb. 2002?
I'm curious why the timeline stops at Feb. 2002...it's been 3 years, something *must* have happened worthy of writing about.
November 1991
One fateful day a young guy came over to my apartment to visit. We'd met on the local BBS scene and he wanted to show me something cool. That guy was the inimitable and unparalleled Erik "the" Ratcliffe. The cool thing he came to show me was, of course, Linux. He brought with him two 5.25" floppy disks, HJ Lu's boot/root disks. We fired it up and played for hours. OC, we didn't have much to play with back then but just being able to do crap on a *NIX shell prompt was way cool.
Shortly after that day I started using my shell account from a local ISP to ftp files from tsx-11 and sunsite to put up on my BBS (My UnKnown BBS). At that time I was one of, if not the largest, BBS's that had Linux available for download. I had callers from all over the world downloading everything from MCC Interim, TAMU, SLS and Slackware.
Over the years I've met a lot of the big names in the community. I've even been complimented on my efforts to bring Linux, and open source in general, to the US Army. The last 3 or 4 years I've been forced to step out of the grind due to health reasons. But I still use Linux and open source for everything I do on computers. There hasn't been anything that I needed to do that I can't do with Linux and open source.
So now I'm just an old, crippled user hardly anyone remembers. But it doesn't matter. The ride was wonderful and the road to the future is wide open.

Free Webinar: Hadoop
How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

Book Editing This product is obviously impressive, offering text processing that I have not seem before. But I have been looking in it for the support of Table of Contents, cross reference indexing, and the generation of those pages. I have not found them among the features. With CSS I could get all the clues into the text, but generating the Table of Contents, for instance, is not a trivial act.
I suppose part of the problem could be that I have (theoretically at least) downloaded the trial, and everything I try to get it to run goes in a circle of have to register, which I have done some time ago, view and edit account are in good shape, and nothing executes. I have tried to execute this thing for a half hour, and will try no more.

The forum account and registration/support account are separate. That fact confused me as well. |

The Office of Admissions and Financial Aid is here to help you find ways to finance your educational expenses – all of them. We call this your "Cost of Attendance". It's important to know that just because your financial aid package identifies resources (in many instances, loans) for you to finance your cost of attendance, it doesn't mean that you have to borrow them. You can (and should) always request less than what's suggested. In fact for our area, the College Board thinks that you can do it for less. $3,402 less actually. We challenge you to prove them right.
There are numerous resources and websites focused on helping you manage your money (and the money you'll undoubtedly borrow) and finding ways to minimize your debt. A few of them are listed below. You'll find one common theme among them:

Seeking Public Comment and Stakeholders for New Sugars ProjectThe Technical Committee on Carbohydrates is initiating a project on Sugars and Health Outcomes to be conducted by Tufts University. The goal is to better understand the metabolic and physiological effects, and possible health outcomes, resulting from sugar intake, through evaluation of the current state of evidence and development of a Future Research Needs (FRN) report for study designs and considerations aimed at researchers and funding organizations. This process is based on the current Agency for Healthcare Research Quality's FRN process. We will also build an open evidence-map database of the science of sugar intake and health outcomes through a systematic, transparent and reproducible process. As part of this open process, we encourage public comments on the proposal, found here. Additionally, the FRN process involves a balanced and diverse stakeholder panel to prioritize the top tiered FRN topics. If you are interested in being considered as a stakeholder for this process, please let us know.

This is too fun not to share. Consumerist dug up some videos from the Smithsonian archives of an old Walter Cronkite TV show called The 21st Century about what the home of the future may look like from the vantage of 1967. Walter Cronkite narrates the videos and a tells us what 2001 technology may be like. We're a bit beyond 2001, but how have we done?
What's cool is that many of the predictions are correct.
Multiroom audio? Yes
3D TVs? Yes
Round speakers? Yes
Lighting control and automation? Yes and yes.
Of course our interfaces are better, and smartphones easier to hold than desk-sized consoles, but we seem to be pretty much on track.
Even the smart glass predicted in the video is here; it's just not in wide use. But this is a good example of a home application.
Where the predictions veered off track farthest was in the kitchen, where automated chefs and instantly molded plates and cups would materialize inside our magic cooking things. Actually, 3D printing has made huge strides in the past year, but I'm not sure I'd eat from something that came out of one of those devices.
You can find more of these videos at The Consumerist.
Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.
The woven acoustic screen is now available in a retractable, masking version.
Centralized home control and automation plus boatload of A/V options including dropdown theater screen revitalize 12K-square-foot home.
Should TV manufacturers offer dumbed-down TVs that focus on image quality rather than apps?
Say hello to home control in this high-tech palace, circa 2006.

text: phorum - Internet Sites - Re: basic math's sites? Internet Sites New Topic | Go to Top | Go to Topic | Search Newer Topic | Older Topic basic math's sites? Author: Joanne Date: 11-07-08 11:11 HI there I'm not sure what it going on with my 6.5 year old in terms of maths but am concerned that school is putting her off, and she is starting to think she's no good at it. (She is doing fine but not excelling which she thinks means she's not good at something!) The school follows the numeracy project framework, with a focus at this level on arithmetic (and strategies for solving). As far as I can tell, they can can only move onwards once they've demonstrated mastery at the current task (which makes sense but also seems to have a few risks). DD seems to be progressing much slower than I would have expected and I've started hearing her say she doesn't like maths. She likes abstract concepts, and particularly enjoyed the perceptual tasks in the WISC-iv assessment. She's not passionately driven about maths related things and her dad didn't expect her to show as "gifted" in the maths area as he doesn't see her looking for patterns etc as he did as a kid (he's a natural mathematician). She tested in the 95th percentile for perceptual reasoning however (99th for verbal, which we were not surprised about). We have a book at home called the Number Devil, which she has read a couple of times independantly. She isn't "getting" a lot of the maths in it, but is sufficiently interested to perservere with it, and return to it. What I'd like to find is a website or two (although other media would be fine), that will: * help her practice basic arithmetic so she can get past the those bits of the framework * has options for play other than time-controlled (she gets very uptight on timed games and find them very un-fun (surprisingly she didn't mind the timed tasks on the WISC) * maybe introduces higher level concepts Grateful for any ideas or suggestions in general too about not losing the interest. Thanks jo Reply To This Message Re: basic math's sites? Author: Jan K Date: 11-07-08 16:24 Hi Jo, we use rainforest maths a fair bit which I got through the numeracy projects web site. http://www.nzmaths.co.nz/Families/Activities.aspx http://www.rainforestmaths.com/ Jan Reply To This Message Re: basic math's sites? Author: birgit Date: 12-07-08 10:25 Hi The Number Devil is a marvelous book, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it to my kids a few years ago. My little one did not quite get it at the time, I think I should reread it to her. There is a CD rom which goes with it, I am not sure it is available in English (we have it in german). My kids have been doing mathletics (www.mathletics.co.nz) and really enjoy this, even the timed games. Worth the $'s for the year!! Personally I am not a huge fan of usinf only the numeracy project to teach maths, some good old fashioned maths in between would be good too! My view about maths: you don't have to be good at arithmetic to be good at maths (it helps though :-) ) there is so much more to maths (just as the number devil says)!!!! Birgit Reply To This Message Re: basic math's sites? Author: Jan K Date: 12-07-08 12:55 Birgit, How old are your children? I have looked at it in the past and wondered about it. My miss7 hates timed facts so I am in to anything that will help boost her confidence and if it's a computer game it'll be all the better.... Thanks, Jan Reply To This Message Re: basic math's sites? Author: Rebecca Date: 12-07-08 15:35 Hi Jo, One thing that I have noticed with my 8yr old daughter - even more so now that I'm homeschooling, is that she is absolutely useless with remembering basic facts! She is very visual spatial and tends to learn more complex concepts way easier than a basic fact that is normally rote-learned at school. I too did not find that the numeracy project was wonderful for my daughter. My son after only 6mths at school seemed to be on the same level as my daughter after 2 1/2 years! I homeschool now and have found a wonderful maths programme that really suits VS learners. Maybe it's something you could do after school with her to supplement her learning. Maths u See. It's really hands on, I simply let the children watch the dvd lesson, then give them the worksheets. I very rarely have to follow it up myself as the man on the dvd (the creator) teaches them in a way that they understand. If you were interested, I'd probably start right at the beginning (the primer book even teaches the children how to tell time at the end) which is where we started. We have just finished the primer book and we're now ready to move on to the Alpha book. The other great thing about the programme is that you can move ahead as quickly or as slowly as you need. I'd certainly recommend it. I have heard that the mathletics site is really good but it does cost money to join. Good luck! Reply To This Message Re: basic math's sites? Author: birgit Date: 12-07-08 22:06 Hi Jan My kids are nearly 8 and 10, both have been on mathletics for the past 2 years. I have control over the level that they work at, so at the moment my younger daughter works at year 4 (NZ) level, but I should put her up soon to year 5 and my older daughter works at year 8 level (she's year 6 at school). I think mathletics is about $80 for the year, I think it is money well spent. Number works is about that per term for 1/2 hour (or 1 hour?). The timed section is optional for mathletics. I find my younger daughter gets kick out of beating college kids at level 1, just because she is faster on the keyboard. They can also choose to play against the computer, which is set a bit slower and they tend to beat it. The maths u see that Rebecca talks about seems very good too, I have seen the demo DVD. At our school they do use something similar in the classroom and it really good for VS learners. I found the advice given in Linda Silvermann book (can't remember the title) is excellent for learning by maths rote (times tables.) My older daughter is very VS and was very lucky to have teacher in year 4 who "mapped" out the time tables on the class room floor. As a result my daughter learnt the time tables in an instant!! And they have stuck! Reply To This Message Re: basic math's sites? Author: Jan K Date: 13-07-08 18:36 Hi Birgit, Another question... Is it the one price for more than one child?? My 5 year old would want to join in too, so can they chop and change levels or do you pay per child? I had a bit of a look but couldn't see that obviously stated anywhere?. Thanks again, Jan Reply To This Message Re: basic math's sites? Author: birgit Date: 14-07-08 08:02 Hi Jan It's per child, you can't switch between levels more than 6 times in a year. Birgit Reply To This Message Re: basic math's sites? Author: Kaz Date: 21-07-08 09:32 Hi Jo, I empathise with your situation. I have just had a gifted 11 year old leave a primary school which participated in the numeracy project with an 'I suck at maths attitude" ( which he didn't - was around 8.1 strategy achievement level which was fine, but he obviously felt he wasn't doing well. NB this is a very maths achieving school. way above national averages, and he isn't particularly a maths boy) His issues have come out in discussion since then, as he is back to a non numeracy project framework, and it better suits him. He didn't like the timed nature of the learning and being very VS this was understandable. He still struggled with some times tables last year - mental blank type scenario. One of our ways around this was making it really fun to practise. we did trampoline times tables where the kids would be quizzed while on the tramp - jumping and learning, took the focus away from the maths problem and required rote learning to fire the answers back - kids loved it . mother got a bit tired, - you could do it with any form of physical exercise but doing the 2 together really worked and was fun, kids demanding more practise believe it or not! . He also hated the pressure of having to sit alongside the teacher and explain his strategies, so tended not to 'put himself out there'. I don't think the teachers ever consider that the child may be too nervous to answer well, when they have had them all year, but clearly he felt this way though didn't articulate this until this year. worth exploring whether this is a problem? Then can chat through that it's no big deal etc... good luck, kaz Reply To This Message Re: basic math's sites? Author: Linda Date: 03-08-08 17:06 Hi Kaz, We did trampoline spelling the other night - likewise the kidz loved it! Reply To This Message Re: basic math's sites? Author: Joanne Date: 05-08-08 09:50 THanks for the responses to this. Am working my way through the suggestions. It sounds like the school is doing an internal review of the numeracy project and although they haven't asked for parental input, i think i might give them some : ) We have been reading the Number Devil again - and i have to say that while she likes it, I don't. I wonder if the translation isn't that great and whether it's funnier/wittier in the original. she and i had a nice conversation about fractions the other day - and the school was doing some nice statistics stuff (frequency graphs etc.) so they're not totally stuck on the framework i think. thanks again. Reply To This Message Mathletics Author: Joanne Date: 29-08-08 14:48 Just to reply to my own message : ) We've joined up to the Mathletics website and it is going well so far. She gets pretty freaked out by the online competitive stuff but that seems to be where the basic facts stuff is, so we've got a white chocolate reward system of our own going on there, and will leave it if it is stressing her. The rest of it looks great and she loves the reward system. (She's made a couple of errors - accidental slips of the mouse - and has been very upset. so there's a bit of hand-holding needed.) Thanks for the recommendations! Reply To This Message Re: Maths Author: sue white Date: 17-03-09 06:28 Hi, My daughter also struggled with the Numeracy framework at primary, and started to think she couldn't do math. I taught her additional techniques at home e.g. algorythms which helped, but she still didn't enjoy math. She is doing much better now she's at secondary and the math has become more theoretical (she loves algebra!). We used a lot of math games, and really enjoyed ClueFinders Math (the Cluefinders series is great for extension and was reccommended to us by an ed. Psych). Reply To This Message Re: Maths Author: Linda Date: 29-03-09 19:46 Check out http://www.superkids.com/aweb/tools/ Might be a bit basic for you but capacity to produce own worksheets easily is great for us.

Heathers [DVD]
Screenplay : Daniel Waters
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 1989
Stars : Winona Ryder (Veronica Sawyer), Christian Slater (Jason Dean), Shannen Doherty (Heather Duke), Lisanne Falk (Heather McNamara), Kim Walker (Heather Chandler), Penelope Milford (Pauline Fleming), Glenn Shadix (Father Ripper), Lance Fenton (Kurt Kelly), Patrick Labyorteaux (Ram)
In the 12 years since its initial (and brief) theatrical release at the end of the John Hughes cycle of teen comedies and dramas in the late 1980s, Heathers has not aged a bit, and its sharp satirical edges show no sign of wear or softness. If anything, the passage of time has only emphasized just how prescient Heathers was in 1989. The points it makes about the violence-prone absurdity of American adolescence are perhaps even more incisive today than they were then.
Heathers turned the '80s teen comedy genre on its head, replacing adolescent angst and prom dreams with barbed black comedy and wicked, subversive satire. The story takes place deep in the heartland, in the fictional suburban world of Westerburg, Ohio. The fundamental social hierarchy of the American high school is firmly in place at Westerburg High, with the most popular clique in school, composed of three gorgeous queen-bitches all named Heather (Shannen Doherty, Lisanne Falk, and Kim Walker), ruling their high-school universe with ruthless tyranny. Embodied best in the lead Heather played by Kim Walker, the "popular" clique is more adequately described as "feared." The movie makes it clear that popularity has little to do with being liked and everything to do with intimidation and envy.
The youngest member of the clique, Veronica Sawyer (Winona Ryder), goes along with the three Heathers because, like them, she is pretty and wealthy and generates adulation from others. But, we immediately get the sense that she does not revel in the teenage sadism that stokes her friends so much. Veronica is savvy and intelligent, but she has an inner weakness that allows her to submit to the Heathers even when she doesn't like what she's doing.
Enter J.D. (Christian Slater), the new kid in school who smokes, rides a motorcycle, wears a long black leather jacket, and talks like Jack Nicholson. A self-styled outsider and rebel, J.D. is much like his iconic namesake, James Dean, but with a perverted, psychotic twist that ironically makes him that much more appealing. Veronica is instantly drawn to him, perhaps because he offers her something different. In a world in which everyone is immediately subsumed into some kind of generic category, J.D. willfully stands apart from the crowd; there is no one else in school like him.
J.D. quickly lures Veronica under spell and into his diabolical plans to off the students who he finds despicable, most notably the titular Heathers. The first murder is something of a happy accident, if it can be called that, and J.D. and Veronica light on the idea of disguising the murder as a suicide. This leads to a series of ironic developments in which the much-loathed and feared Heathers are suddenly raised in death to undeserved martyr status. In a single stroke, the movie drags virtually every character into its exposé of facetiousness, as teachers wax poetic about how much they enjoyed having the dead students in school and the yearbook staff prepares a two-page spread complete with reproductions of the suicide notes.
In working with J.D., Veronica essentially exchanges her submission to the emotionally sadistic Heathers for submission to the murderous J.D., and the movie gains a strong dramatic undercurrent in watching her emerge from both of these dominions, eventually coming into her own by the end of the movie. Although Veronica's name is nowhere in the title, Heathers is ultimately about how she finally learns to be her own person, even though her journey to that point racks up quite a body count.
Heathers was a first-time project for just about everyone involved, including director Michael Lehmann and writer Daniel Waters (both of whom almost detonated their careers two years later with their involvement in the Bruce Willis-Joel Silver debacle Hudson Hawk in 1991). It was also made during the waning days of New World Pictures, the independent studio that funded and distributed the movie. This combined to create an experimental atmosphere that was absolutely essential for a movie like Heathers, an environment in which the filmmakers could feel free to push the envelope and raise a few eyebrows.
The movie has all kinds of oddball details, like the fact that Veronica writes in her diary while wearing a monocle and the Heathers wile away their afternoons playing croquet, but what people really remember about the movie is how fearless it is in treading on potentially controversial territory. Truth be said, much of Heathers is in extremely bad taste, but it's so funny and so clever and so intent on its vision of teenage angst that the bad taste not only becomes utterly integral, it somehow transcends the barriers of appropriateness.
It shares the same kind of anarchic spirit that made John Waters' early movies so gross and liberating at the same time. In Heathers, the filmmakers are essentially rejecting all of the nostalgia and emotional tripe that often accompanies excursions into the world of American adolescence and laying bare the ugly undercurrents that no one wants to admit are there. Kids killing other kids because they don't like them looks sick on paper, but Heathers deals with its controversial subject matter with such style and wit that the violence is taken to another plane; it's grotesque, but it's so absurdly grotesque that you can't take it seriously.
The film is visually inventive, which goes a long way toward covering over the fact that the screenplay starts to fall apart toward the end. Cinematographer Francis Kenny alternates between bright, almost cartoonish images and dark, brooding moments that play off horror movies and psycho thrillers. It has a quick pace and a rhythm all its own, aided in great part by screenwriter Daniel Waters' fantastic twisting of the English language into his own personal brand of teenspeak that results in endlessly quotable lines.
The movie cuts close to the bone now (with incidents like Columbine) as it did then (when teenage suicide was a major national trauma), and that's what makes it work so well. It pushes hot buttons and jabs at sensitive areas to make the point that so much in life—especially the lives of privileged American teens—is just plain silly. At the same time, though, it makes the point that killing people like the Heathers is an exercise in futility because someone else will always rise up to take their place. In its darkest moments, Heathers suggests that there will always be cruelty at the top and subjugation at the bottom. The plurality of the title can be seen as relating not only to the three Heathers in the movie, but to the fact that there are Heathers everywhere and there always will be.

Distributor | Anchor Bay Entertainment |
Release Date | September 25, 2001 |
Heathers was initially released by Anchor Bay in 1999 in a nonanamorphic widescreen transfer that was good, but not superb. The new, THX-certified anamorphic widescreen (1.85:1) transfer of Heathers is definitely a step up. Cinematographer Francis Kearny's inventive use of color and contrast (see, for example, the highly stylized colored lighting at the college party scene in Chapter 6) is beautifully rendered with strong color saturation and deep, rich black levels. There is some grain evident in the darker sequences, but nothing distracting. The print used for the transfer looks to have been in good shape, as there are almost no nicks, scratches, or traces of dirt to be found. All in all, a solid transfer. | |
The original two-channel stereo soundtrack has been remixed in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround with good results. David Newman's eclectic musical score is served well, especially when it moves into the hissing electronic rhythms of the suspense-thriller. The movie doesn't feature a lot of sound effects, and imaging and directionality are somewhat limited in their use. The overall soundtrack is crisp and clear, however, with a solid low end. | |
While the 1999 DVD was fairly frills-free, Anchor Bay has gone back and collected some good supplements for this re-issue. First up is director Michael Lehmann, writer Daniel Waters, and producer Denise Di Novi's consistently engaging screen-specific audio commentary. They discuss all the various facets of the production, including casting woes, amusing on-set anecdotes, and plenty of jokes about what they don't think in hindsight worked very well. Anchor Bay has also produced a brand-new 30-minute documentary called Swatch Dogs and Diet Coke Heads, a title that essentially sums up the movie's vernacular and how it views most of its characters. The documentary features new interviews with most of the major players involved in the movie's production, including stars Winona Ryder, Christian Slater, Shannen Doherty, and Lisanne Falk, editor Norman Hollyn, cinematographer Francis Kenny, as well as Lehmann, Waters, and Di Novi. Everyone seems to have nothing but fond memories about making the movie, and although there is no behind-the-scenes footage except for a few still images, there are a number of interesting revelations about the movie (all of which are also mentioned in the commentary), including Waters' initial thought that Heathers would be a great project for Stanley Kubrick and the fact that Heather Graham was initially going to play one of the Heathers, but her mother wouldn't let her because she was put off by the script. Additional supplementary material includes the original ending of the movie as it appeared in the first draft of Waters' script (Lehmann had intended to shoot it, but the studio brass at New World intervened before any footage was shot), an original theatrical trailer, and some very detailed talent bios and filmographies of the cast and crew. And, as they have on many of their other releases, Anchor Bay has been good enough to put everything on the disc in anamorphic widescreen. |

Castle Bed
Materials: KURA bed, MDF
Description: Inspired by an idea I saw on this blog, in addition to my own ideas, I came up with this exciting bed for my son who's into knights and castles.
We bought the KURA bed and cut out sections of MDF to create a facade that would be mounted onto the KURA frame. My dad and I used a sabre saw to cut battlements and a window on one side. We glued an extra thickness of MDF on top for the battlements to create a relief effect and to strengthen the area against inevitable rough "boy play". We painted the bed and the mdf a dark grey and sponged a light grey over the top to create a stone effect. I liked the lighter color on the battlements to make them stand out.
A third thickness of mdf was added to the top of each tower to allow us to drill a hole that would hold the flags I bought online.
We made the front piece hang down about an inch from the bottom of the KURA bed to allow a surface to attach the curtain rod to. My mom, who owns an embroidery business sewed and embroidered the curtain. The moon and star lamps were a fun addition to the play space below, since it's a little dark underneath.
It was a lot of work, but the look on Lawson's face when he walked into that room was priceless!

You are a wonderful parent. Your son will remember this lovely gesture forever.
ReplyDelete I saw your lighting comment. Did you know Ikea used to sell some great lamps that look like real torches? I have several of these which my kids LOVE in their room. Search Google images "MINNEN FACKLA" and you will see them. I paid $14.99 each and they were so fun. They even had bulbs that flickered so it looked like real flames!

Friday, June 21 at 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. – Quartet (2013) Starring Maggie Smith, Billy Connolly, and Michael Gambon; Rated R; 105 minutes. Closed captioned for the hearing impaired.
Beecham House is abuzz. The rumor circling the halls is that the home for retired musicians is soon to play host to a new resident. Word is, it's a star. For Reginald Paget, Wilfred Bond and Cecily Robson this sort of talk is par for the course at the gossipy home. But they're in for a special shock when the new arrival turns out to be none other than their former singing partner, Jean Horton. Her subsequent career as a star soloist, and the ego that accompanied it, split up their long friendship and ended her marriage to Reggie, who takes the news of her arrival particularly hard. Can the passage of time heal old wounds? And will the famous quartet be able to patch up their differences in time for Beecham House's gala concert?

Jami Attenberg, author of The Middlesteins
After two kids and more than 30 years, Edie and Richard Middlestein's solid family life together is disintegrating due to Edie's lifelong obsession with food—she eats, sleeps, and dreams about her local Chinese restaurant. When Richard jumps ship, it's up to the next generation to take charge. Robin, the schoolteacher daughter, is determined that her father pay for leaving Edie. Benny, an easy-going, pot-smoking family guy, just wants things to be copacetic. His uptight wife Rachelle, who obsesses about being uber-thin, is intent on saving her mother-in-law's life, but this task proves more complicated and a lot more emotionally draining than planning her twins' extravagant b'nai mitzvah party.
Rosie Schaap, author of Drinking with Men
Starting with her misspent youth in the bar car of a regional railroad, where at 15 she told commuters' fortunes in exchange for beer, and continuing today as she slings cocktails at a neighborhood joint in Brooklyn, Schaap has learned her way around both sides of a bar and come to realize how powerful the fellowship among bar patrons can be. Now in a poignant and deeply funny memoir told from a distinctively female perspective, Rosie celebrates the camaraderie and community one can only find at her local haunt.
Meg Wolitzer, author of The Interestings
The summer that Nixon resigns, six teenagers at a summer camp for the arts become inseparable. Decades later the bond remains powerful, but so much else has changed. The novel follows these characters from the height of youth through middle age, as their talents, fortunes, and degrees of satisfaction diverge.
A book signing will follow the authors' presentations. Books will be available for purchase at the event. Refreshments will be served.

Students who come to Monash can be confident that they are studying in a program that is thoroughly well-grounded internationally. Through the Monash Abroad program, the university provides financial and adminstrative support for students to travel overseas for study purposes and have those studies included in their Monash degree.
The Monash Journalism program is deeply collaborative. We have links with Research Institutes and Centres for Investigative Journalism in the USA, including the Centre for Investigative Reporting in San Francisco and the Centre for Public Integrity in Washington. We have continuing links for student and staff exchanges with European universities with whom we ran the Global Environmental Journalism Initiative, funded out of Brussels and Canberra from 2008-2011. We are also prominent participants in the Australian Consortium for In-country Indonesian Studies (ACICIS) program, where students come to understand what it's like to work and study in another country that's very relevant to Australia, and at the same time to build friendships and networks with future journalists in those countries.

The journey to end cancer starts with a single step. The American Cancer Society invites you to take that step with us by joining the global Relay For Life movement. When you walk to end cancer at a Relay event, it's your opportunity to not only honor cancer survivors and remember loved ones lost, but also to raise awareness about what we can do to stay well from cancer and raise money to help fuel the world's largest walk to end cancer.
