The 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics opening ceremony will be broadcast Friday, February 9 at 8:00 p.m. ET on NBC.
The 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics closing ceremony will be broadcast Sunday, February 25 at 8:00 p.m. ET on NBC.
When it comes to spectacle and pageantry, there's nothing quite like the opening and closing ceremonies of the Winter Games. At the Rio Olympics, we saw fireworks, light shows, and dancing, topped off with elaborate sets and gorgeous costumes.
This year, the South Korean Olympic Committee will be looking to top both Rio and Sochi in its presentation, and by all accounts, it's shaping up to be quite a show. Will the North and South Korean athletes spark nuclear war by walking under the same banner? Will newly qualified Tongan athlete Pita Taufatofua carry his nation's flag while shirtless again? One thing's for certain: the show is sure to be glitzy, expensive, and over-the-top entertaining.
Whether you plan on watching the Korean opening and closing ceremonies for the pageantry or simply to cheer on your favorite athletes, the first question you have to ask yourself is how you're going to watch.
If you don't have a cable package, it may seem like you're out of luck, but don't worry—there are other ways to watch the ceremonies online. We figured out exactly how to watch the 2018 Winter Olympics opening and closing ceremonies, so check out our rankings below to see which option works best for you.
Guide to watching the 2018 Winter Olympics opening and closing ceremonies
Youtube TV
Limited Commercials
Live a Little
A quick note on watching via NBCOlympics.com or the NBC Sports App
One of the most popular ways to watch the Olympics is to use the NBC Sports App or NBCOlympics.com. Both options will feature live coverage of every single event at the 2018 Winter Games, direct from Pyeongchang, South Korea. You can also catch livestreams of NBC's primetime and daytime coverage, which make both the site and the app great for watching the 2018 Winter opening and closing ceremonies.
There is a catch, though. In order to access Winter Olympics coverage via NBCOlympics.com or the NBC Sports App, you'll need to log in with credentials from either a cable package or your streaming service of choice. Since you need to sign up for a service of some kind in order to use this method anyway, we didn't include it in our rankings.
But, don't worry—we did take the app and site into consideration in our rankings. That's a big reason why fuboTV is ranked so high, for instance. It's simply the least expensive way to get access to the opening and closing ceremonies, provided you're using it just to sign into the NBC Sports App or NBCOlympics.com.
FYI: If you plan to use the NBC Olympic website, keep in mind that it's primarily designed to be used on a laptop or computer. Otherwise, you can download the NBC Sports App to your mobile devices, smart TVs, gaming consoles, and video playing devices like Amazon Fire TVs, Android TVs, Apple TVs, Chromecasts, and Rokus.
#1 fuboTV: The cheapest way to stream the opening and closing ceremonies
What we like: The low introductory price
Drawbacks: Limited NBC affiliate availability
Who it's perfect for: Cord-cutters on a budget who live in an area where fuboTV offers NBC
If you're looking for the cheapest possible way to watch the opening and closing ceremonies for this year's Winter Games, our gold medalist, fuboTV, may be the best option for you. The cost of the service is extremely low for the first month (it does go up after that), so if you're looking for a service you can sign up for then cancel as soon as the Winter Olympics are over, it's a good way to go.
The only major problem is that fuboTV doesn't offer a lot of NBC local stations, so we definitely recommend using it to log in to the NBC Sports App. If you don't want to go through the app, it's unlikely you'll be able to watch the opening and closing ceremonies live on NBC. You can check fubo's list of local channel offerings to see if NBC is available in your area before signing up, but for most people, we'd recommend just streaming through the NBC Sports App or NBCOlympics.com.
fuboTV pricing
Normally, fuboTV plans cost $39.99 per month, making the service the same price as Hulu Live and PlayStation Vue. But fuboTV offers an introductory rate of $19.99 per month for the first two months. The Pyeongchang Winter Olympics are only two weeks long, so if you plan to cancel your service as soon as the torch is doused, fuboTV is your most cost-efficient option.
Watching the Pyeongchang Olympics opening and closing ceremonies with fuboTV
Total honesty: fuboTV doesn't have a great track record for reliability. In fact, in our testing, fuboTV tended to glitch, lag, and have other serious issues far more frequently than other services—even when streamed via a high-quality internet connection. It also doesn't offer many NBC stations (just 15 nationwide), so it's not ideal as a streaming platform for the Olympics.
The upside, though, is the price. Since it's so inexpensive, fuboTV is definitely the easiest and cheapest way for most people to watch the opening and closing ceremonies—just make sure you do the actual watching via the NBC Sports App or NBCOlympics.com.
If you do want to watch on fuboTV directly, we strongly recommend checking fuboTV's list of local channels before signing up. And make sure you take advantage of the service's 7-day free trial period to make sure it works well with your internet connection.
fuboTV DVR service
Despite all fuboTV's shortcomings, it actually offers a pretty comprehensive DVR service—for a price. All packages include 30 hours of DVR space, which isn't much. In fact, it's the smallest DVR among all the other services. But at least it's included.
Fortunately, you have the option to upgrade your DVR to 500 hours for $9.99 more per month. With 500 hours worth of storage, you can also record more of the curling, men's hockey, and figure skating events you want to watch. And it's a pretty good deal, especially when you consider that Hulu Live's DVR upgrade gets you 300 fewer hours and costs $5 more per month.
fuboTV device compatibility
fuboTV is compatible with most video streaming devices, so most cord-cutters will be able to use it without any problems. However, like DIRECTV NOW, the service doesn't currently offer compatibility with video game consoles, so gamers beware.
Devices for Streaming fuboTV
#2 YouTube TV: Good NBC availability for a decently low price
What we like: Great NBC local channel availability with unlimited DVR space
Drawbacks: Currently available to only 80% of US residents
Who it's perfect for: Winter Olympics fans near larger cities who want to record their favorite events
YouTube TV wins the silver medal when it comes to watching the opening and closing ceremonies for the South Korean Winter Games. YouTube TV offers NBC livestreams in over 80% of the areas where the service is available, is one of the lower-priced options on our list, and features high-end streaming quality and an unlimited DVR. Score!
YouTube TV pricing
YouTube TV is pretty middle of the road in terms of price. The service costs $35 per month, so it's less expensive than Hulu Live or PlayStation Vue, but more than fuboTV's introductory price of $19.99 per month. So if your goal is sign up for the cheapest service in order to access the NBC Sports App or NBCOlympics.com, YouTube TV is a good choice, though perhaps not as good as fuboTV.
Despite this, YouTube TV gets our number-two ranking because it is the best standalone service for watching both the opening and closing ceremonies. And if you're planning to watch coverage of the Pyeongchang Winter Games after the opening ceremonies, YouTube TV is an inexpensive way to get everything you need—including the Olympic Channel. YouTube includes everything in one package, which we really like since services like DIRECTV NOW and PlayStation Vue make you pay more for access to all the channels you need to watch the Olympics.
Watching the 2018 opening and closing ceremonies with YouTube TV
In order to really appreciate the spectacle of the South Korean opening and closing ceremonies, you want a streaming service that doesn't pull punches with streaming quality. Luckily, YouTube TV has your back on that account. The service offers one of the best streaming experiences simply because YouTube has been developing its live video infrastructure for quite some time.
We tested out YouTube TV, and we can say you don't have to worry much about glitches, buffering, and low picture quality. The streaming is smooth, so you'll be able to keep track of the torch during every hand-off. Plus, you can actually see the puck during hockey match-ups and see every tiny twist and turn during the ski jumping events (if you decide to watch other Olympics coverage besides the opening and closing ceremonies).
Of course, YouTube TV isn't totally perfect—it's currently available in only 84 markets nationwide. Those 84 markets cover approximately 80% of the US population, so there's a good chance you live in an area where YouTube TV is available. But it's worth checking out YouTube TV's list of available locations to see if it's offered where you live.
YouTube TV is also great when it comes to local channels. Fun fact: in most of the US, big network stations aren't actually owned by the network—they're owned by affiliates. So to offer those channels, streaming services have to make a deal with particular affiliate stations across the country.
Fortunately, YouTube TV offers 66 NBC stations nationwide (the second-highest of any streaming service), which basically means over 70% of the US can access their local NBC station and watch the South Korean opening and closing ceremonies via YouTube TV.
YouTube TV DVR service
YouTube TV's DVR is one of the big reasons we rank it number one for watching the Pyeongchang opening and closing ceremonies. The service features an unlimited cloud DVR, meaning if you don't want your kids staying up super late to watch, you can record the ceremonies and watch the next day without worrying about storage space.
YouTube TV device compatibility
While YouTube TV started out offering compatibility with only Chromecast devices, the service has now expanded to include more devices, with even more planned. However, there are a few key devices missing from the list. For instance, if you're planning to use an Amazon Fire TV device, an Apple TV, or a Roku, you may want to avoid YouTube TV. Check out the full list of compatible devices below:

#3 Hulu with Live TV: Lots of NBC availability with decent streaming quality
What we like: Great local NBC availability
Drawbacks: Higher price
Who it's perfect for: Winter Olympics fans who want reliable access to their local NBC station
Hulu with Live TV takes home the bronze medal, thanks to the sheer number of local NBC stations it offers. Hulu Live delivers NBC livestreams in 76 areas nationwide, making it the best service in terms of NBC availability. It's also not bad in terms of streaming quality, which makes it very reliable for watching the South Korean opening and closing ceremonies. It's certainly not a perfect service, but for watching the Winter Olympics, you could certainly do a lot worse.
Hulu with Live TV pricing
Hulu with Live TV is definitely on the higher end of the pricing spectrum compared to other streaming services. Packages start at $39.99 per month, though you can upgrade to the No Commercials option for $43.99 per month. But the No Commercials plan cuts commercials only for on-demand content, so you'll have to suffer through commercial breaks during the opening and closing ceremonies regardless. And since most Olympics coverage won't be included in Hulu's on-demand library, we definitely don't feel like it's a worthwhile upgrade for most Olympics fans.
Watching the Pyeongchang Olympics opening and closing ceremonies with Hulu Live
As we've already mentioned, Hulu with Live TV offers a pretty decent streaming experience. We've noticed a little fuzziness around moving objects while watching, which might make it a little harder to watch fast-paced skating, skiing, or hockey events. But thank goodness, there were no serious delays, lagging, or buffering breaks. That's especially good news if you're planning on watching the Games after the opening ceremony.
Best of all, Hulu Live features the best NBC local channel availability of any streaming service. That means you have the best chance of getting your local NBC station with a Hulu Live membership. To see if Hulu offers an NBC livestream in your area, check out the service's ZIP finder.
Hulu with Live TV DVR service
Hulu with Live TV gets you 50 hours of recording space. That's fine if you're recording only the opening and closing ceremonies, but if you want to record all the Olympics coverage on TV, you'll burn through your storage space in less than half a day. Of course, Hulu does offer 200 hours of storage, but it costs an extra $14.99 per month. That's pretty disappointing considering YouTube TV and PlayStation Vue both offer unlimited DVR space—and they don't charge extra for it.
Unfortunately, that's not even the biggest problem with Hulu Live's DVR. In order to record something, you have to add it to your Favorites list. Theoretically, the DVR should automatically record anything you've favorited, except for episodes and programs that are already available in Hulu's on-demand catalog.
In our experience, though, the DVR was really unreliable. So if you add curling to your Favorites, there's no guarantee you'll actually get all the curling events slated to air on CNBC and the USA Network. That'll certainly make it harder to watch your favorite athletes and events, and honestly, we don't think it's worth the frustration.
Of course, if you don't plan to record any of the Pyeongchang events, the whole DVR issue isn't really relevant. And it's worth noting that the service is still in beta testing, so if you're looking for a streaming option you can use once the Games are over, there's a chance the drawbacks we've mentioned will be fixed eventually.
Hulu with Live TV device compatibility
Hulu Live is available on all the most popular video players, so there's a good chance you can stream it on something you already own. Hulu is also the only streaming service that's compatible with the Nintendo Switch console, so Nintendo fans should definitely consider it as a top choice.
Devices for Streaming Hulu Live TV
#4 DIRECTV NOW: Solid NBC options but lacking some important features
What we like: A decent number of local NBC stations
Drawbacks: No DVR—at least, not in time for the Pyeongchang opening ceremony
Who it's perfect for: Casual Winter Olympics fans who don't mind watching the opening and closing ceremonies live
DIRECTV NOW narrowly misses our medals podium and lands in fourth place. While the service certainly offers more local NBC stations than our third-place finisher, PlayStation Vue, it misses the mark in terms of streaming quality and features. In fact, DIRECTV NOW doesn't even offer a cloud DVR currently.
But if you're not worried about missing events at unusual hours, DIRECTV NOW is a decent option that won't cost as much as Hulu Live or PlayStation Vue.
DIRECTV NOW pricing
To get opening and closing ceremonies coverage, you don't have to worry about getting a super expensive package. NBC is available on DIRECTV NOW's most basic package, Live a Little. This plan costs just $35 per month, making the service one of the lower-priced options on our list.
Fun fact: DIRECTV NOW also tends to be the best-priced streaming service for fans of premium channels. And yes, we know the South Korean winter games aren't going to be broadcast on any premium channels. But if you're a Game of Thrones fan looking for a service you can keep after the Korean games, we thought you ought to know DIRECTV NOW is probably the best option for your household. You're welcome.
Watching the Korean opening and closing ceremonies with DIRECTV NOW
Last we checked, DIRECTV NOW offered 44 NBC stations across the country. That's certainly more than PlayStation Vue offers, which means you have a better chance of being able to watch the opening and closing ceremonies on DIRECTV NOW than you do on PlayStation Vue.
DIRECTV NOW's streaming quality is also pretty decent, particularly if you have a good internet connection. On a slow cable connection, though, the service gets less reliable, with a greater tendency to cut out, lag, and constantly buffer.
That being said, if you know you have a good internet connection and don't mind the lack of DVR, DIRECTV NOW could easily be a number-two or even a number-one choice for your household. And just to make sure, there's certainly no harm in taking advantage of the service's 7-day free trial period.
DIRECTV NOW DVR service
There's not a lot to say about DIRECTV NOW's DVR service simply because it doesn't exist yet. DIRECTV NOW has been beta testing a DVR service for a few months now, but we're unlikely to see it roll out before the 2018 Olympics opening ceremony takes place. For most Olympics fans, though, that's not a problem, as you can watch the opening and closing ceremonies (as well as most of the events) on demand via the NBC Sports App.
DIRECTV NOW device compatibility
Most cord-cutters are able to use DIRECTV NOW, as it's compatible with the most widely used devices. You won't be able to stream DIRECTV NOW on any of your gaming consoles, though. So if you're a gamer looking to stream TV without buying a new device, you may want to try one of the other services on our list.
Devices for Streaming DIRECTV NOW
#5 PlayStation Vue: Great streaming quality with some local NBC offerings
What we like: Smooth streaming with plenty of DVR space
Drawbacks: Middle-of-the-road NBC local channel availability
Who it's perfect for: Olympics fans who want super-smooth streaming and reliability
Last but certainly not least is PlayStation Vue. The service doesn't have quite as many local NBC channels as Hulu Live, and it isn't quite as cost-efficient as YouTube TV. But it makes up for those things with its exceptional streaming quality and unlimited DVR space. That makes a big difference if you want to see every flashy detail during the South Korean cultural celebration segment of the opening ceremony or if busy weekend plans keep you away from your TV during the closing ceremony.
PlayStation Vue pricing
PlayStation Vue packages start at $39.99 per month, so it's certainly not the cheapest option on our list. The upside, though, is that the $39.99-per-month price tag gets you all the channels you need to watch Olympic coverage (NBC, NBCSN, CNBC, and the USA Network). And considering how smooth and user-friendly the PlayStation Vue streaming experience is, we think the price is worth it.
Watching the opening and closing ceremonies with PlayStation Vue
As we've already said, PlayStation Vue offers a very smooth streaming experience. There's hardly any lag when you change channels, and in our testing, PlayStation Vue has the best track record for delivering reliable livestreams across multiple types of internet connections.
The downside to PlayStation Vue is its NBC local channel availability. At last count, PlayStation Vue offered 26 NBC stations nationwide. While that's certainly not the poorest showing, it's still only about 1/3 of what's available with Hulu Live. We'd strongly recommend visiting the PlayStation Vue website, entering your ZIP code, and double-checking that NBC is available in your area before you sign up.
PlayStation Vue DVR service
Overall, we really like PlayStation Vue's DVR service. It offers unlimited storage space, so you have the flexibility to record every single alpine skiing, ski jumping, and speed skating event you want. And if there's anything we like, it's gorging ourselves on other people's athletic achievement.
But there is a catch—all recorded content is automatically deleted after 28 days. To put that in perspective, even if you watched nothing but Olympic coverage 24/7 for a month and a half, you still wouldn't be able to get through just the ice hockey and curling matches before they expired from your DVR.
Of course, if you're like most fans and just want to get your fill of the Korean opening and closing ceremonies plus a few of your favorite key events, PlayStation Vue's DVR should work just fine for you.
PlayStation Vue device compatibility
First off, you should know you do not need a PlayStation console to watch PlayStation Vue.
PlayStation Vue is actually available on quite a few devices (think Roku, Apple TV, etc.). Of course, if you are a gamer, you should keep in mind that PlayStation devices are the only consoles compatible with the service.
Devices for Streaming Playstation Vue
Other legal options for watching the 2018 Winter Olympics opening and closing ceremonies
On the off chance that none of the streaming services listed above offer NBC in your area (or you simply don't want to pay a monthly fee for your TV), you can watch the opening and closing ceremonies for the Winter Games using a digital antenna.
Digital antennas these days are better looking and more reliable than the rabbit ears of yesteryear. But like the old-school antennas, they allow you to pick up locally broadcast channels, like NBC, for free.
Of course, there are some downsides. You won't be able to record anything—at least not without paying for an additional service like Tablo. That's a major drawback considering that some of the most popular Winter Olympics events are going to be broadcast during NBC's daytime coverage, when most people are at work.
If you're considering getting an antenna to watch the Pyeongchang Games, it's also important to do your research and get the right antenna for your needs. While we like the Mohu Leaf 50 for most households, we strongly recommend checking out our antenna buying guide to see which option will work best for you.
NBC Sports VR App
According to NBC, the NBC Sports VR App will also be providing virtual reality coverage of select events from the winter games, including the opening and closing ceremonies. So if you've always wanted to see what it'd be like to snag a front row seat to all the fanfare of the ceremonies, this option may be what you've been waiting for.
Like the regular NBC Sports App and NBCOlympics.com, the winter games VR coverage will be available live from South Korea, so you can catch the gold medal men's hockey match as it happens. Also, the NBC Sports VR App does require a cable or streaming service login in order to watch, so you may still want to consider signing up for fuboTV or another inexpensive streaming service to access the 50 hours of VR content that will be available throughout the South Korean games.
Citius, Altius, Fortius!
We're constantly striving to provide the best streaming recommendations so you can get what you need faster, enjoy higher quality service, and make stronger financial decisions about your entertainment. If you still have any questions, feel free to comment or reach out to us via email. Until then…USA! USA!

Speaking of grey, this past weekend was cool and cloudy (and now it's...*shock/wonder/amazement*...raining!), so on Sunday, Matt and I headed over to the Sunset Junction Intelligentsia to get an extra good cup of hot coffee and replenish our supply for the work week. We picked up two bags of their Celebration blend which has delicious notes of toasted hazelnuts and hints of baking spice—perfect for ringing in the season, and chilled out on their Tolix chairs for a bit. The coffee's good, but who cares when you've got tiles like that!? Every time we go over there I just stare at the floor.
You can get the exact tile Barbara Bestor (who also designed the A+R interior) used right here.
And the celebration blend ($18 per pound) is available online if you're not a Chicago, New York or Los Angeles resident.

The total acquisition cost for the advanced fighter is projected at $406.1 billion, virtually unchanged from the $406.5 billion estimated last year, according to the Defense Department's latest Selected Acquisition Report, which will be sent to Congress this week. The projections were obtained in advance by Bloomberg News.
Within the total -- which includes research, development and initial support such as spare parts and military construction -- the estimated cost to procure 2,456 U.S. aircraft has ticked down to $345.4 billion from $346.1 billion, or a 0.2 percent decline. (end of excerpt)
Click here for the full story, on the Bloomberg News website.
(EDITOR'S NOTE: The latest procurement cost of $345.4 billion, divided by the 2,456 aircraft that the three US services plan to procure, implies a procurement cost of $140.6 million per aircraft.
Development costs account for the difference, or $60.1 billion, which works out to $24.7 million per aircraft.
Adding unit procurement costs ($140.6 million) to unit development costs ($24.7 million) gives an average cost of $165.3 million per aircraft, excluding fixes, upgrades, spares, tooling and other support equipment.)

We request an administrative fee for creating and keeping modeling agency profiles at jurgita.com. This fee is for checking and verifying the account information in order to protect our members from spam and fake agencies. The annual fee is $10 for a single modeling agency account. This will help us to stop dubious reputation agencies from registering at jurgita.com and sending spam messages to members of this website. Until an agency is confirmed, its contacts won't be available for members of jurgita.com; however, the agency representatives will be able to send messages.
The system also assists in recognizing active modeling agencies as inactive agencies don't take care of their profiles. Models and other members of jurgita.com don't have to waist their time and credits for contacting abandoned modeling agency profile. Members can recognize inactive agencies as their contact information are not displayed.
The annual fee is there for a reason: it's for verifying information agency provides and checking agency's reputation and actions in past year. Verification process is nothing a legal agency should be afraid of. Each type of profiles requires verification upon registration or information update. Modeling agencies with silver membership and higher membership level have their information examined for free.
All the other types of accounts are completely free.

Another day, another clever clogs arrives to tell the feminist masses why they're fucking up. This time it's the turn of Martha Gill. Like Charlotte Raven before her, Gill offers a rare insight into the feminist mindset. This is due to the fact that not only is she a feminist herself, but she's amazingly clever and totally ace at writing. Most feminists are, as Gill so cleverly notes, thick as pigshit and rubbish with words. Thus we should all thank her for her guidance (come on, sheep-like feminist masses! Bleat in gratitude!).
In a piece that is ostensibly on "the perils of Groupthink" Gill makes two timely observations. The first is that every single "online feminist" (i.e. those feminists who are several classes down from a "print feminist") writes in exactly the same style. And that style is … Well, let's be honest, it's the style in which Vagenda write. And Vagenda write in that style deliberately, perhaps because they're writing about the very magazines whose approach they mimic. It doesn't take a genius to notice this – Vagenda spell it out for you – but still. Well done, Gill. That's probably a good few young feminists you've embarrassed out of writing on the things they care about, simply because they happen to adopt what you consider to be an overly stylized voice. Sod 'em, though. It's all very well finding a voice in this sexist world, but make sure it doesn't sound too jarring to the more sophisticated feminist ear.
Gill's second point is based on her first. This is unfortunate, since her first (that all "online feminists" write like Vagenda and their imitators) isn't a very convincing one, but never mind. Let's pretend this makes sense, otherwise the rest of Gill's argument is too bewildering for words. Gill wants to suggest that since all "online feminists" write the same (which they don't) they all think the same (which they don't):
Now, there's nothing wrong with showing your writing influences – but when you write as a tribe that's a sign that you think as a tribe, and when you think as a tribe common sense starts to go out the window.
Evidence for this tribal lack of common sense in the feminist community comes from the fact that online feminists seem to have a thing about rape apologism: they don't like it. Pretty much all of them don't like it. Gill seems to find this suspicious, and decides "it's something to do with people moving as a group". Because obviously, all things being equal, you'd expect some supporters of women's liberation to be cool with rape apologism, wouldn't you? Otherwise it's just weird. Silly, silly online feminists.
I don't know where to start with all that's wrong with Gill's depiction of innocuous "advice" on rape avoidance being cruelly misrepresented as rape apologism. If her point is that saying some things increase your risk of being attacked but not your responsibility for it, then this has been argued in far more sober, nuanced and intelligent ways, for instance here. I still don't agree with it, and I've tried to explain why here (no doubt in a Groupthink-ridden, knee-jerk way, without even knowing it). The point is, whatever you believe, you can discuss these things without being so bloody superior and insulting. Moreover, it's important to do so. What's the point of alienating people or shaming them into silence?
Well, anyhow, I just wanted to say that. Because I am frankly surprised at the meanness that lies behind this type of intellectual posturing. And yeah, now I feel worried in case I slip into "babyish" capitals or forget to drop in the odd "sounds sexist at first glance but actually it's way radical" observation, just to show I'm not one of the crowd. Is that what being clever is meant to feel like? If so, I'd rather be ignorant, honest and free.

Celebrating the grand opening of its Muskegon Heights Family Literacy Center next week, the nonprofit organization Read Muskegon will be joined by the Muskegon Lakeshore Chamber of Commerce and members of the Muskegon Heights community for a ribbon cutting ceremony.
Beginning at 11 a.m. on October 25, the ribbon cutting event will take place outside of the new literacy center, located at 26 E. Broadway in Muskegon Heights, and feature special guests that include Muskegon Heights Mayor Kimberly Sims and John Severson, Presidents of the Muskegon Area Independent School District, for a ribbon cutting ceremony.
With a mission to "increase the quality of life in Muskegon County through improved literacy," the new Muskegon Heights Family Literacy Center will act as a countywide hub for literacy that focuses on providing programming for adult and family literacy, such as classes to increase job readiness, early literacy, and English language skills.
Other services include one-on-one tutoring sessions, literacy-based play and learn groups for low literacy parents and children ages 0-5, a six-week long literacy-based healthy cooking workshop for parents and children ages 0-5, drop-in literacy lab tutoring, and a family reading corner.
Though the literacy center has been hosting some of the new programming in the space throughout its summer-long interior renovation, Read Muskegon President Melissa Moore says next week's event not only marks the official grand opening of the literacy center, but also a larger milestone for the misunderstood and underutilized commercial corridors of downtown Muskegon Heights.
As the first organization to partner with the Muskegon Heights Downtown Development Authority, Moore says by moving its programs and administrative offices to the new downtown site, Read Muskegon also brings along its volunteers and partners, which allows them to see the city and its emerging opportunities firsthand.
"Opening a literacy center that is accessible to many of our learners with the most critical needs has been at the core of Read Muskegon's long-term planning," Moore says. "We are excited about all of the opportunities that relocating to the heart of the Muskegon Heights downtown brings with it."
The Muskegon Heights Family Literacy Center is open to the public from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and from noon - 4 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
For more information on Read Muskegon, the Muskegon Heights Family Literacy Center, or the October 25 ribbon cutting, visit Read Muskegon online or find the organization here on Facebook.

40 Years of Prefontaine: Legend
"Pre was a rebel from a working-class background, a guy full of cockiness and guts," said Nike co-founder Phil Knight. "Pre's spirit is the cornerstone of this company's soul."
From Nike.com
In 1973, two years after the Nike brand was born and the first Swoosh adorned shoes, the nascent footwear company signed its first star runner. The phenomenal Oregon native held multiple American distance records, competed on track & field's greatest stage in Munich in 1972 and appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated as "America's Distance Prodigy."
The prodigy was Steve Prefontaine, America's best-known track & field athlete at age 22. He possessed warrior determination and ran each race as if his life depended on it. His competitive fire, gutsy race tactics and inherent charisma charmed crowds and inspired up-and-coming runners to stick with the sport and give it their all
On track for greatness
At 15, competing for Marshfield High School in in Coos Bay, Ore., Pretontaine set his first national record, running the 2 Mile event in 8:41:5. He won back-to-back state cross country championships in 1968-69, and went undefeated in cross country and track his junior and senior years. Heavily recruited by top running schools during his senior year, Prefontaine was swayed by a handwritten note from llegendary University of Oregon head coach Bill Bowerman. "It said if I came to Oregon, he'd make me into the best distance runner ever," Prefontaine recalled. "That was all I needed to hear."

meet our new mascot, "hazmat man"
While we all recognize the importance of placing compassion over a pedantic adherence to regulations in times of disaster, there are of course some principles that transcend the momentary concerns of the present and must be upheld at all costs.
We refer of course to NCAA rules prohibiting Division I football, basketball and hockey players from being eligible for play in the first year of a transfer to another school.
Sure, many of these athletes have had their schools destroyed and potential athletic careers derailed but we can't let petty concerns about the welfare of the students divert our attention from what is really important: Athletic administrators.
Apparently, coaches at schools around New Orleans have complained that universities elsewhere in the country are offering their athletes opportunities to continue playing while also receiving a quality education in classrooms that are for the most part not piles of rubble and where the risk of contracting infectious diseases is less than 50-50. This is known as "raiding."
Some teams were even considering transferring as a group which would provide at least some measure of continuity to lives that have otherwise been turned upside down. This also will not be tolerated. As NCAA president Myles Brand said, "Let me call that athletic looting, to be provocative." (Unless it was a hockey team in which case it would be called athletic "finding.")
While the NCAA won't allow students affected by the hurricane to transfer to another school where they could play sports and get an education, they do have a heart and so will allow them to play sports for their current school where they can't get an education because of the damage. That way, if nothing else, they at least retain the chance of getting a career-ending injury.

How to Minimize Costs and Time to Market Between Tenants
How a rental property is outfitted can determine ongoing property management costs for landlords. Typically landlords must paint, change carpeting and perform repairs in order to make a unit ready to rent. These tips will ensure a less financially painful transition between tenants.
Upon acquiring our properties, we made sure to remove all the carpeting in each unit and install a light colored ceramic tile in its place. Though it may cost slightly more than installing carpet, it will not ever have to be replaced. In a worst-case scenario if a tenant were to drop something very heavy on the flooring, one or two tiles may need to be replaced but that's quite inexpensive compared to recarpeting the entire room. Also, light colored ceramic tile helps to make the space look bigger when showing the property for rent.

Another major expense that can be incurred between tenants has to do with the heating or cooling system. You may find that the air-conditioning system evaporation coils are clogged thereby reducing the efficiency of the system and causing unnecessary odors when the system is running. Clogged evaporation coils are usually caused by tenants not regularly changing the air filters. Be sure to inspect the heating and cooling systems in your units at least every two months to ensure this does not happen.
Probably the greatest expense incurred when getting a unit ready to rent is painting. First, be sure that the lease agreement states that the tenant is not to paint anything in the unit unless they obtain written permission from the landlord first. Even then, tenants may still take it upon themselves to perform some "home decorating" on their own. Again, be sure to inspect the unit regularly to ensure that the tenant is complying with the terms of the lease agreement. Sometimes, painting the entire unit may be inevitable due to regular wear and tear but regular inspections will reduce these expenses should the tenant occupy the unit for a short time.
Above all, be sure that you choose your tenants wisely. Find good tenants who will take care of the unit, let you know when anything major goes wrong, and leave the unit in good condition when they move out.Bruce Sutherland is a guest blogger from The Successful Landlord Blog.

I didn't realize until I started editing this post that my last two recipes here involved raspberries as well! Haha clearly I'm a bit obsessed this summer, but for good reason! They're at their peak, providing juicy, sweet, and tart berries that work in a variety of dishes and cocktails. If you go berry picking and wind up with a ton, just know that I've definitely got you covered on recipes!
My sweet tooth had me craving some soft and chewy oatmeal cookies, so naturally I choose a 100 degree day here in Portland to bake a huge batch! My efforts were not in vain though because these Raspberry Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies are some of the best I've ever baked! I've devoured at least 4 more since I started writing this post and each bite provides a perfect balance of berries, sweet chocolate chips, and fluffy old fashioned oats. My only suggestion would be to pick a cooler day to make these!
(makes 20-24 cookies)
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
3/4 cup fresh raspberries
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. I used two baking sheets and then just waited for the pans to cool slightly before finishing off the rest of the dough for the second round.
In a medium sized bowl, combine flour, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars with an electric mixer for 1 to 2 minutes or until it's nice and fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract and egg. With the mixer running, slowly add flour mixture until combined.
Fold in chocolate chips and raspberries until mixed.
Drop a heaping tablespoon of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart from one another, then gently press down with the back of the spoon to lightly flatten.
Place in the oven to bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges and bottom are golden.
Remove from the oven and slide parchment paper with cookies onto a cooling rack. Give them a few minutes and then you can easily slide them off the paper and directly onto the rack to finish cooling. I highly recommend devouring one or two while they're still warm though!
Serve right away or make ahead and store them in an airtight container at room temperature. Cookies will keep for 3-4 days, but something tells me they'll be devoured well before then!

Emperor: The Gods of War by Conn Iggulden
The king is dead.
The death of Julius Caesar, in the pages of Emperor: The Gods of War, is as brutal as his story was graceful. It's the fourth and final book in British schoolteacher Conn Iggulden's Roman saga and while it comfortably caps off the ambitious series, it ultimately feels somewhat muted. Iggulden has honed his writing talents well over the course of the last three books but by the end of this one, you can't help but feel a little bit sorry the ride is over.
To recap, the series has followed Gaius Julius Caesar and Marcus Brutus from the time they were small children. The first book, The Gates of Rome, follows the training and coming of age of the boys, Julius as a Senator-to-be and Brutus as Rome's most valiant warrior. The Death of Kings follows their adventures in far-off lands as soldiers of Rome, ending with the spectacular revolt led by the rebel gladiator Spartacus. The Field of Swords sees Iggulden artfully describing massive battles on the bloodstained fields of Gaul.
And so Caesar has come home as The Gods of War begins. Fresh from victories in Gaul and Britain, the aging general has amassed the largest army ever fielded on Roman soil and is coming back to Rome in force. Its dramatic flourish is promising and its beginning is theatrical in its force:
Pompey announced each word as a hammer blow: "Therefore, by his actions, Caesar is today declared Enemy of Rome. His titles and honors are revoked. His right to command legions is struck from the records. His life is forfeit. It will be war.
War it is. As Caesar crosses the Rubicon and descends on Rome, his adversary Pompey flees to Greece, declaring himself dictator and taking the power of the empire with him. For the increasingly power-mad general, it's an infuriating distraction from his desire to finally hold all of Rome in his hands.
That desire finally breaks the bonds of friendship between the king and his most beloved friend, Marcus Brutus, who has seen his own career fall in the long shadow of Caesar. Breaking ranks, the skilled warrior joins forces with the ailing Pompey on the bloody battlefield at Pharsalus.
But Brutus's betrayal feels forced somehow. While his anger has emerged in full-bloom over the course of the books, not least because Julius is bedding Brutus's mother, Brutus's complete reversal is a bit brutal in its execution.
Where Iggulden succeeds magnificently is his battle scenes. With flourishes worthy of Ridley Scott's Gladiator, Iggulden brings the battles alive. He's able to effectively explain the intimate details and decisions that make these enormous battles as much about wits as swordplay but still portrays the shocking violence of men engaged in battle on the ground. The final earth-shaking battle is as well-drawn as any of the conflicts in the series, pitting Caesar not just against Pompey, one of the smartest military minds of his time, but also against Brutus, who knows Caesar as well as anybody.
The book's shortcomings arise from Iggulden's sprint through palace intrigue. Iggulden has nimbly navigated the internal politics of Rome before but wastes an opportunity here. By the time Caesar chases the ailing Pompey all the way to Egypt, we know his final battle is won. What should have been the book's most compelling turning point -- the introduction of the seductive Cleopatra -- is stormed through with great haste. Her story, better told in Margaret George's The Memoirs of Cleopatra, is a mere shadow of what it could have been. To be fair, Iggulden's descriptions of the Egyptian kingdom are vibrant, particularly Caesar's fascination with the Library of Alexandria and the Pharos lighthouse, but he doesn't take time to linger on their wonders.
The end, when it comes, is as swift and merciless as we've been led to believe. It would have been more satisfying for the book to engage the reader a bit more, placing Caesar in context and further illuminating the reasons behind his downfall.
At the same time, Iggulden deserves fair credit for crafting a magnificent, world-spanning epic about one of the world's truly compelling figures over the course of these four books. The Emperor series has been a thought-provoking antidote to typical historical fiction, rich with the veracity of history and yet full of explosive cinematic action. Iggulden, who is becoming a master of historical action, is working on a similar saga about Genghis and Kublai Khan. It should be damned interesting to see what he crafts out of the Mongolian Empire. Based on his track record so far, Iggulden could just give James Clavell a run for his money.

Natural Child Birth
Tuesday, 13 November 2012
So the plan is to give birth naturally, without medication, without medical interventions. Needless to say this decision sometimes raises some eyebrows and brings with it the question "why?" I thought I should write down my reasons and my current thinking just for the sake of getting it down. But most importantly, in no way do I judge others' decisions not to have a natural childbirth, the choice is personal and the experience is purely individual. So here is what I'm thinking, just for me.
I'm not 100% sure how it all started. I know I watched the Business of Being Born long before I was pregnant and I know that 2.5 years ago when my stepmom's sister gave birth she did so naturally in her own home. So I knew the option existed and it appealed to me. For anyone who knows me well it's probably actually pretty surprising that I wouldn't be all over that epidural. I'm not particularly "natural" in any other aspect of my life. I'm not that into yoga, I don't buy organic everything, I take Advil at the slightest sign of pain, and I've had a host of odd medical issues that have led me to doctor after doctor and 3 surgeries in the last 8 years. This last point being one of my main reasons actually. I've spent time in hospitals and I've had lots of medical interventions in my life. I don't want childbirth to be in the same category. I don't want to experience bringing my son into the world in the same environment that I had my intestine or hip surgery. I envision and want the experience to be special and I don't want to marginalize it. My body was meant to give birth and can give birth all by itself. Childbirth, in most cases, does not need to be a medical event. Women for thousands of years have been giving birth without medicine and although there is potential for complications, a healthy mother with a normal pregnancy will 99% of the time have a normal natural childbirth without the need for any medical assistance whatsoever.
I know childbirth will be difficult and "painful." I want to be present and participate in that process. Pain is the bodies response to something negative, it's the bodies way of telling us something is wrong and we need to address it. But with childbirth, there isn't anything wrong and the body isn't having a fight or flight response. Instead this "pain" everyone talks about is actually just the body letting the mother know the progress of labor. So in actuality, childbirth pain isn't the same kind of pain that we are used to. We shouldn't try to fix it but instead respond to it and realize our bodies are trying to indicate the stages and progress of labor. I believe if I can remind myself of this throughout labor the experience will not be thought of as painful.
I think that by having a natural childbirth I will see the event as more positive than if I don't. I will experience a higher level of elation and accomplishment upon the completion of the birthing process. Basically, the harder the journey the bigger the payoff. I want that. I want to feel like a warrior.
Without drugs, I'll know when to push and I have less of a chance of tearing. Without drugs, the bonding experience with my son with be greater. Without drugs, there is less of a chance of needing a c-section. Without drugs, I'll be ensuring that my body can do what it needs to do to bring my baby into the world happy and health.
I want Luke to be able to be a big part of childbirth. I want him to have a role and be an active participant. To be able to feel his own accomplishment from the process. If I'm strapped to a bed, feeling no pain, there isn't much for him to do and he would feel useless. With a natural childbirth, I will need help, guidance, love and comfort from him throughout. He gets to be, perhaps not equally, but at least very involved. He has his own books he's been reading to prepare and when we take our Bradley method classes, his role will be essential.
And we are preparing, as much as any two people can prepare for something they truly have no idea about and for something that is known to be completely unpredictable. We both have read our fair share of books on natural childbirth, we've hired a Doula (which has been proven to improve a woman's chances of completing a natural birth), we will be taking Bradley method classes (3 hours a week for 8 weeks!), we've watched videos of natural childbirth, and I have my self guided Hypnobirthing cds on my iphone.
So that's my thinking and that's the plan. I hope it all goes how I envision. But I know there is no way to predict what will happen and I need to keep an open mind to potentially things going awry or changing. I am very grateful that modern medicine exists should I need it at any point during childbirth. I know ultimately all that matters is a happy healthy baby but I still also believe that the process of getting there is a pretty important to me as well.

There was talk and jibber-jabber going on for a while about a DS redesign to make the handheld smaller, lighter and more hand-friendly. Well it finally showed up. The redesign weighs in at 7.6 ounces, which is two ounces lighter than its predecessor. It is also considerably smaller. Celebration is also in order. This marks the 150th remake/redesign of a Nintendo handheld product. They sure do know how to exploit those fanboys. It should be hitting the market in early March.

Each box comes with an info card talking about each of the featured brands and products.
3 Meal Cookie Diet Trio – value: $20
These are funny novelty cookies. I chuckled – especially as a new mom I tend to grab whatever is around for meals and the breastfeeding cravings are real! Haha, I love having sweets on hand, as much as I probably shouldn't. These are cute and tasted good, but $20 for 3 cookies seems like a lot to me.
I appreciated that they include an ingredients sheet for the cookies since there wasn't a label on their packaging.
"Bacon Me Crazy" card from Good Paper San Francisco – value: $6
This card is handmade, from a company that employs/helps women in need – such as survivors of sex trafficking in the Philippines or orphaned in Africa. I think it's cute and it will make my husband laugh when I write him a little note on it.
Blue Q Coin Purse – value: $3.99
This coin purse is made with 95% post-consumer recycled material, which I like. I think the design is cute, even if it's not exactly my taste.
FYI – this is one of the items that subscribers received a variation of.
Knock Knock Compact Mirror – value: $10
This mirror is pretty cute! The inside says "you're perfect" on the mirror. I've loved the brand Knock Knock for a long time, so this is a fun item for me. They also have a mirror that says "Believe…" on the outside and "…in your selfie" on the inside. I love that! However, $10 is a lot for a plastic compact mirror. That is what they retail for, but it's just expensive to me.
Blue Q Crew Socks – value: $10
These socks are another item that varied in designs. This one says "My favorite salad is wine." I don't drink, so I won't wear these. They'll get swapped!
Here's a look at the inside of the mirror.
Emi Jay Nightshirt – value: $68
Subscribers received either a nightshirt, a muscle tee, or a pullover. Apparently, this night shirt was an Oprah 2015 Favorite Thing. It is very soft and comes in lots of different sizes. Also, it came with a hair band wrapped around it. Plus, they have funny phrases on them…
Here's the phrase on my nightshirt. This is soft and comfortable (and a nice length for me), but I just don't wear things that have quirky sayings on them like this. I know that's my personal taste, though. I know. Since it's so comfortable and it is made to sleep in (and for no one else to really see) I may still wear it.
Verdict: This was my first Lost Blvd. box. I like their mission and execution (regarding aiding the discovery process and telling the stories behind the brands they feature), but I feel like the theme just wasn't a good match for my individual taste. That being said, I can't deny that the items all seemed to be a really good quality, and as far as an "LOL" themed box, I think they did well in curation. Personally, I wouldn't pay $75 for these items myself, but the retail value comes out to $117.99 so Lost Blvd. did hold up their promise of a $99.99 minimum. I think some of the items were over-valued, but as long as that's what they retail for, I can't really hold that against Lost Blvd. themselves.
What do you think about Lost Blvd.?

Jefferson's Letter to the Danbury Baptists The Final Letter, as Sent
To messers. Nehemiah Dodge, Ephraim Robbins, & Stephen S. Nelson, a committee of the Danbury Baptist association in the state of Connecticut.
The affectionate sentiments of esteem and approbation which you are so good as to express towards me, on behalf of the Danbury Baptist association, give me the highest satisfaction. my duties dictate a faithful and zealous pursuit of the interests of my constituents, & in proportion as they are persuaded of my fidelity to those duties, the discharge of them becomes more and more pleasing.
Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.
I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection & blessing of the common father and creator of man, and tender you for yourselves & your religious association, assurances of my high respect & esteem.
Th Jefferson Jan. 1. 1802.
And what do we find on the main entrance frieze to the Supreme Court building?
Take a peak here > Supreme Court Building Front
No depictions of Moses or the Ten Commandments appear at all, on the main entrance. The three central figures describe Pagans that represent Order, Liberty Enthroned, and Authority. The other figures represent American justices and the sculptor of the pediment. In the first place, Moses does not sit alone on the Supreme Court Frieze. Christians don't want you to know that Moses sits next to two Pagans-- Confucius and Solon. See the truth here > Supreme Court Building Back East Side All we have to do is look back in history and we will see that many bloody wars have been fought over religion differences that continue still to this day. The Roman government under Constantine`s rule in order to expand the control of the masses created the Catholic religion and structured it as a hierarchy similar to the government. There were even bishops who Constantine granted more power than some of his own governors were allotted.
If this country was not founded on Christian principles why should any Christians be surprised that the government would support the removing of the Ten Commandments from government buildings. It would only be right to have laws from other religions along side of the Ten Commandments if all things were equal. Research will show that the laws governing the people of the U.S.A. are based off of Roman and British Law.
Thanks for taking the time to read this press release and if you find it valuable please keep it moving on. Stay Tuned For Part 4

Elena Shumilova always knew there was something special about her two young sons and their ability to get on with animals.
From a young age, the boys were accepted by creatures they came into contact with and – at times – it almost seemed as though they were able to communicate with them.
As these beautiful images show, Yaroslav, five, and two-year-old Vanya share a unique bond with animals.
Photographs shot by their mother Elena capture the tender moments enjoyed between the boys and their furry friends.
Elena, from Andreapol, Russia, began taking pictures of her sons in 2012 when she received her first professional camera.
She was able to capture her boys playing with rabbits, ducks, cats and dogs as they became completely immersed in communicating with their animal friends.
The 32-year-old says animals are completely comfortable around her sons and their incredible bond gets stronger as they get older.
Elena said: 'Children and animals – they're my life. As a mum of two sons we spend a lot of time on the farm, so I often shoot my boys with dogs, rabbits and ducks.
'I get inspired mainly by desire to express something I feel, though I usually cannot tell exactly what that is until I have taken the shot of them with the animals.'
Elena said she plans to continue documenting her boys' animal adventures through photography.

Apostates Of Liberty
Alvie explains.
If you haven't been keeping track of who is whom, best start doing so.
Consequences are generally earned.
Do not give in to Evil, but proceed ever more boldly against it
Vox went for it earlier.
Fire Them All
I can not stand to even look at these charlatans...just like I can not stand to look at the current occupant of the White House and his predecessors. All of them with wide smiles as they live large for the service thy have provided.
I listen every day to all three of these gentlemen. While I consider Hannity and Rush Republican hacks, I do find real info from Beck.
You can say what you will of these guys. Understand that I find fault with all of them. However, I do believe that they are doing their part.
They ain't picking up a gun, but neither are you.
Don't know that I'd throw Beck as far under the bus with them.
He helped 9/12 project. Had the 8/28 rally and now is helping this get going: http://www.glennbeck.com/2011/02/14/freedom-connector-get-organized
His mistake is that he thinks we can win this the way Ghandi beat the British in India. I wish he were right but know he's wrong.
Beck reveres Lincoln. 'nuff said.
Rush endorses PATRIOT. 'nuff said.
Hannity...'nuff said.
There are very few who see the world as does the III Patriot. If our Founders and Framers were alive today, they'd be killed or imprisoned for their views by the Establishment.
The only national level Patriot on the scene that even comes close to our Founders is Judge Napolitano, in my opinion. Alan Keyes comes close.
Too many people have too much invested in the Status Quo to ever risk victory for either side.
That's a real good point Scott.
Beck and Hannity have the ability to bring a lot of folks together in a designated place at a designated time. That's powerful no matter what the message. Personally, I can't quibble with their messages in general.
And what of our message and our ability to bring a lot of folks together at a designated place and time? RTC? Siege on D.C? Dismal failures to say the least.
Whether you like it or not, those guys have cache'. And while their message is not perfect, I'm kinda glad they're around. I'd like to think if they weren't, by this time we would all be hunted down.
It might be best to quit looking for a hero and look inside. I know I am. It scares the hell out of me, but that's what I'm doing. As that introspection transpires, I think I'll cling to whatever ally can provide me assistance.
At the and of the day, I'd rather be ironing out my differences with Hannity, Limbaugh and Beck than, well, you know, those people.
And if you do not march in perfect ideological goose step. If you do not focus on what we say you should. You also will be raked over the coals on WRSA.
More and more the posts here read like you all want to act like the SEIU and George(I love the Führer) Soros.
"Rush could be the George Soros of the right."
Anyone study how the Anarchist movement helped put Hitler And Mao in power?
See why becoming like the enemy is not a good idea?
As you adopt their methods do not be surprised when you adopt their philosophy. And then commit their crimes.
Happy D:
Are you serious?
Did you read Alvie's piece?
"Raked over the coals"?
If you question that each of these three have not fully utilized their mass-media influence for the cause of freedom, I'd like to hear your reasons for saying so.
Yes I did read it, fifth time now. Most of the comments as well.
I was questioning what has become more and more a dictatorial tendency on this and related blogs. To demand a leftist like ideological purity and conformity.
Most usually in a post related to these three.
While we all agree gunwalker is a major scandal and act of treason others may not.
They could also be so busy with other issues that one or all may not know about it. Or understand it. Or they may not know how to handle it yet.
It has been a busy news cycle recently.
You could try your luck and call in to their shows.
They just may not agree with what you see as the best way to use their influence. It is their choice what they do.
Perhaps shadowfox24 put it best over at Alvie's.
"What he refuses to do is to do it for you! He's not going to fund your movements for you. He's not going to get signatures for your petitions for you. He's not going to make your phone calls for you and he's not going to pressure your elected officials for you. Physician heal thyself! aka If you want action then be the action!"
Without Rush we would not be as well off as we are today.
Without Hannity much could have been lost long ago.
Beck has brought more attention in the last years to the freedom agenda than many that proclaim their importance.
Who will not meet your standards next? David, Mike, Or maybe Alvie?
Go to Mike's and read
Denethor's Trap: "Becoming your enemy is not the way to win."
and stand warned.
Uh... For the record. I don't find any ideological goose step going on here. No one appears to be telling me what to think. And, I don't find any raking over the coals of anybody.
"Beck reveres Lincoln. 'nuff said."
Could be worse he could revere Confederate Slaver hypocrites like Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston et al., who fought against popular sovereignty in the so called "Utah war".
Only to fight for a Slaver version of it during the Civil War.
Mr. Mullenax it is a rare but increasing trend around here.
Just question the orthodox view of some controversial event.
Police with a warrant shooting a dog after announcing their presence for example.
Or participants of this blog assigning negative motives to people that are at least partially with us with no evidence of such dark motivations. Rush, Hannity, Beck, Palin, and so on.
Go to the original cliffsofinsanity post that started this and read the comments to see this at its worst.
The revisionist history slant that is now on display over there never has lead any place good.
Now if you all do not mind I would like to go read the Sultan Knish: The Taxpayer's Civil War that Concerned American Posted I have been trying to start reading it all day.

Where does curriculum come from? Where should it come from? What involvement should industry in general have in creating curriculum? These are all questions suggested by some comments Garth left on my blog post last week on New Teaching & Learning Resources for XNA and Web. In part he says: (Highlights mine.)
If Microsoft really wants to get involved in programming education they need to get two things up and running: a teacher education curriculum on how to teach introductory programming to mainstream kids, and a semester/year long curriculum for those mainstream kids with an interest captivating goal. If Microsoft wants to capture the phone market, teach junior high and high school kids to write apps for the phone and they will buy that phone. Same with Xbox. If I was really ambitious I would start designing and writing my own curriculum but teaching, eating and sleeping would get in the way.
In the idea world teachers could and would develop their own curriculum or at least they would create and share enough curriculum modules that it would all be completely independent, fine tuned to teacher's needs, and broadly concepts based. Yeah. But if you haven't noticed lately the world we live in is far from ideal. The average teacher has all they can do to keep up with grading, planning for tomorrow's lecture and yes trying to have a life outside of school. Creating curriculum from scratch is hard work and very time consuming. I gave up a summer of teaching summer school to write my first textbook and I still was not able to finish it in a summer. Royalties never really made up for the lost summer income either. And that was just a textbook that was based on work I had dove over several years creating a course I was teaching. This is impractical for most people.
Which brings up textbook companies. Today if you want to sell a textbook it is not enough to write the book and create answer sheets. Today you also need a full test bank of questions and answers, PowerPoint presentations for each major topic and ideally some other (multi media anyone?) resources for teachers to use. Someone still has to create lesson plans though. This is expensive and we are in an era when textbook money is already hard to come by. It's an even larger problem in computer science because things change faster than even normal textbook refresh cycles. Textbook publishers are still creating books and curriculum but it is hard for many schools to afford to stay current.
So that leaves industry. Obviously industry has an interest in students using and learning using their tools. For companies in the computer software industry this is hugely desirable. So many companies do create educational resources. CISCO has it's Cisco Academies, Adobe has programs for teaching Dreamweaver, and of course Microsoft has a lot of educational resources as well. I blog about the Microsoft resources a lot. You may have noticed. There is some conflict involved of course. Parts of the companies are interested in earning revenue for sales to schools. Just like oil companies don't give heating oil to schools for free (do they?) companies like to sell products to schools. Of course academic discounts abound and that helps. Some companies charge for curriculum as well. I pretty much blog links to Microsoft related curriculum that is free because I think that is the most useful for most schools. Companies have a self interest in training students but schools need it to be an enlightened self interest that supports the ideals of a good education.
So a larger conflict is between teaching tools against teaching concepts. Most schools want to teach concepts not specific tools and with good reason. Conflicts have a much longer "shelf life" than specific tools. Companies who want their curriculum used have to take that into account. For example the Web Development curriculum that Microsoft had developed. From the beginning the idea was that while Expression Web would be the tool used for the course the focus on the course would be on good web page design concepts. Expression Web was just the tool used to teach the concepts.
Likewise the XNA Game development curriculum is focused on programming concepts but game development is the motivating idea and XNA is the tool used to combine game development and learning programming.
There are also schools who are reluctant to adopt company created curriculum of course. They are concerned about maintaining independence. They are also concerned about becoming "vocational" or too locked into a single vendor. reasonable concerns that companies have to take into consideration. The best companies are looking for students with broad knowledge and deep concepts understanding though. They are even more aware of the changing nature of software and what to hire people who can adapt and adopt new things as they come available. The good companies and the good schools find common ground here.
Even large companies can't do it all though. There is that trade-off that demands a quick return on investment for shareholders and upper management and looking at the long term. So partnerships with educational institutions can sometimes help. Much of the curriculum at the Microsoft Faculty Connection's Faculty Resource Center was developed by schools, colleges and universities with funding or other assistance from Microsoft.
But more could be done. Garth suggests phone development courseware and that is something I will be trying to find or get developed. Brian regularly reminds me of the need for Silverlight and AJAX curriculum materials. With limited resources most companies have to focus on the "big bets" – the chances to make the biggest difference in the most schools. So some things will take longer than others and that is a shame. It's a reality though. The thing that helps most is hearing from teachers in schools telling companies what they'd like to teach, would be willing to teach and can get their administrators to agree to let them teach if they have the right curriculum materials.
If I could add one last plea though it would be this – teachers who are doing creative things and creating their own materials could be doing more sharing themselves. The Microsoft Faculty Connection's Faculty Resource Center is one place where that sharing could be done. If you have something that should be there let me know and we'll see about getting it there. If you want something else, the CSTA has a curriculum repository as well. Sites like these only work as well as people are willing to support them though sharing what they are developing. We could also use a lot more CS teachers blogging if you ask me. But I am biased towards blogs as a sharing resource. For real time (or close to it) there is also Twitter where a lot of great links are shared by teachers all the time. (I'm at @AlfredTwo BTW) Sharing is key though and has never been more important than it is today.
Note that as always I am speaking my own mind and giving my own opinions. While I hope others agree with me I do not guarantee that they do.
