I've just recently started playing this mod, and I just wanted to add that this is an impressive creation, I'm sure any who play it apprectiate the effort put into it, I know I do.
Yeah I was wondering if you could split up the campaign & battle datapack into separate files, so i can choose if example i would like the daiymos without bows? Or maybe i only could have the campaign datapack and not the battle datapack.
Awesome mod by the way, like it alot!
I don't know how many other people may have experienced some similar issues with this mod but I thought I'd put my grievances here.
While playing FotS the diplomacy in regards to allies has been nearly impossible for me. While playing as Saga on hard, every ally I have or had drops the alliance eventually no matter how high relations were, with an honorable Daimyo and relations techs as well. There seemed to be a pattern to it. As soon as I was allowed to attack a former ally without diplomatic repercussions another ally I had or had gained in the mean time would drop our alliance, just creating a chain reaction of every former ally declaring war on me for no reason. They were all imperial as well and about half of them switched to the shogunate side. Like I said this pattern seemed to be like clockwork.
I have played a number of FotS games without mods and by comparrison allies seemed much more reliable then.
Also a friend of mine tried playing multiple games in S2 with this mod, and had many issues with one province clans being able to field 2 or more flags of samurai armies frequently. I wish I had more details on his experience but he claimed it happened frequently. He also had severe issues even securing trade rights with many clans as well.
I really like what this mod adds to the game, but with these issues it has not been very fun. For the time being I'm just going to stick with unit mods.
WTF is up with the installer? It keeps trying to install this obnoxious desktop app called weatherbug and won't install the files. >:l
A suggestion:
I have actually been roleplaying this in my current Otomo Campaign, where I can only recruit two units of daisho samurai and two units of yari samurai, and rely on local samurai only; I envisioned that Samurai might not want to fight for a Christian faction. So would it be possible to either A) Limit the number of Samurai recruitable by the Otomo, or B) Make the samurai in general inferior, but with much better morale?
Could you make all men fire in a skirmisher unit? Right now only the front row fires while the others do nothing. Perhaps add light infantry behavior or something?
''Πας μη Έλλην, βάρβαρος.''
Is there anyway I can remove the potrait mod i prefer the vanilla potraits ty for ur modding work
I hope someone will make new model of crest and kabuto ..i dream that most of famous clan will playable and have own daimyo and unique unit

The High Museum of Art extended its hours this weekend to give people a few more chances to see "Leonardo da Vinci: Hand of the Genius." It'll be the last chance — the exhibition closes on Sunday.
The museum will be open 10 a.m.-midnight Friday, 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday and noon-6 p.m. Sunday.
I explained in this preview post that "Hand of the Genius" isn't an expansive show of the greatest hits. It educates us about Leonardo's influences, and offers a (very) close look at a few detailed pieces. It can look sparse, but there's a lot to take in.
Art Critic Catherine Fox wrote of the show:
Leonardo came of age in one of the most glorious periods in western culture, when knowledge expanded, humanism took hold and culture bloomed. His artistic brilliance was rooted in his times and grounded in the artists who preceded him.
As guest curator Gary Radke wrote in his book "Art in Renaissance Italy," this was a period where art mattered. Civic pride, piety, appreciation of beauty and, of course, the status of patronage found voice in an outpouring of art. The Florence of Leonardo's youth was a creative hotbed. He could absorb the lessons of the best and brightest merely by walking its streets and visiting its churches.
Cathy went on to explain that Radke believes two figures in a relief in the exhibition aren't the work of one of the older masters, but of Leonardo. If it's true, "you'll be getting the first stateside look at the hand of genius-in-the-making."
Of course, if great is what you want, they've got you covered in terms of size, too: don't forget the 24-foot, 6,600-pound Sforza horse they built outside the museum as part of the exhibition.
Want to go? "Leonardo da Vinci: Hand of the Genius" closes Feb. 21. High Museum of Art, 1280 Peachtree St., Atlanta. 404-733-4444, www.high.org.

In the modern world that we live in, many people don't have the time to do certain things. This could be spending time with their families, spending time doing the things that they love and in our situation, spending time reading the damn resume! Job recruiters, for better or worse, spend only 10 to 30 seconds skimming through a resume to see if you fit into their criteria. Unfortunately, if you don't grab their attention from the get go, then chances are you will lose that golden opportunity forever.Read More...

Grupo Gay da Bahia, a gay rights group in Brazil, releases startling figures for homophobic killings that took place in the Latin American country last year
Once again, activists claim Brazil has the world's highest occurrence of homophobic murders.
Brazilian LGBT rights group Grupo Gay da Bahia has released a breakdown of gay-related murders for 2012, claiming that Brazil accounts for 44% of homophobic executions worldwide.
Grupo Gay da Bahia documented 338 killings of gays, lesbians and transsexuals in Brazil that took place in 2012. Two of these killings include two Brazilian transsexuals in Italy.
A 15-year-old strangled to death a student, in Campo Grande, Brazil, stating: 'for me, gays are vermin'. Friend joined murder plot
Two teens have been arrested in connection with the murder of Lawrence Corrêa Biancão, a 20 year-old student, in Campo Grande, in the south west of Brazil.
The two confessed to the crime and stated that their motivation was theft and homophobia.
'He wanted to kiss me and I wanted to kill him', declared the boy who killed Biancão to daily Campo Grande News.
Tens of thousands pour on to Copacabana beach for carnvival themed LGBT pride
An estimated one million people hit Rio de Janeiro's iconic Copacabana beach yesterday (18 November) for the Brazilian city's annual gay pride celebrations.
Fifteen floats blaring music lined Avenida Atlantica, while many revellers came dressed in colorful carnival costumes.
As well holding a carnival-like party, organizers Grupo Arco-Iris (Rainbow Group) hoped this year's event would also send a powerful political message.
'The main thing is to fight for the criminalization of homophobia,' pride marcher Ester Silveir told France 24.
A trans woman became the latest victim in a spate of trans murders in state of state of São Paulo, Brazil
A 20 year-old trans woman was murdered in the early hours of Sunday (16 September) in the city of Votuporanga, state of São Paulo, Brazil.
The body was found near a dumpster in a rural region of the city. The victim's genitals and one ear were found to have been cut off.
The Brazilian military police, who are investigating the case, suspect that the trans woman, who was a sex worker, was possibly taken to the remote location and murdered by a client.
The police still has no clues as to the identity of the murderer.
A report shows the chances of a gay man being murdered in Brazil are 800% more likely to occur than in the US
Sex-rights groups in Peru and Brazil announced the number of homosexual killings in 2011.
Brazil's Grupo Gay da Bahia (GGB) documented 266 murders of gays, lesbians and transvestites in Brazil last year, six more than in 2010.
According to Professoe Luiz Mott, an anthropologist at the Federal University of Bahia and founder of the GGB: 'The underreporting of these crimes is striking, indicating that the number represents just the tip of an iceberg of cruelty and blood.

What is the role of the student in the classroom today?
Much conversation has taken place regarding the failure of education and the failure of the teacher in the classroom. What role does the student have in their own learning as he or she travels through the education system? Or does the student play any part in their own education? Does the student hold any responsibility in the failure of education?
In a perfect world, what would the ideal student look like in today's world?
Specific examples are most appreciated rather than general thoughts and assumptions.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
May 12 2013: Currently, a student's education is facilitated and the student is expected to perform as he or she has been taught. In my opinion, we need make students be the stakeholders in their own education. Students cannot be held responsible for the failure of their education currently because they have no say in what they are learning and how they are taught. If students were made stakeholders in their education and actually were able to give input into their education, then we would have a better student and education system which holds the student accountable for his or her learning. This would also allow for more creativity and a tailored education for the student to learn and maximize his or her potential.

WINTER WHITE :: Simplicity at your table
It's difficult to walk through ABC Home and not fall in love with everything you see. The merchandising is immaculate, yet comfortable, and the sheer variety is amazing. While I was in the store the other day, I noticed there were several displays of their beautiful white ware. As much as I love color, I prefer to have my dinnerware to be white, as it creates a blank canvas. One can mix white dishes from Wedgwood, Crate & Barrel, and Ikea seamlessly—the color is available by almost every company. White dishes leave the setting neutral, allowing the tablecloth, candles, and flowers to dictate the overall visual look of the table. Even if you're sitting in your living room floor with Chinese takeout, a simple white dish and chopsticks make it seem more like a specially prepared dinner.

Folks, the turd that is the Obama administration is circling the drain. It is going to leave a streak, but it is about to go down.
by jackohoft — "Earlier today Barack Obama told Denver's WUSA TV this in regard to the Benghazi 9-11 terror attack, "I gave three very clear directives. Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to. Number two, we're going to investigate exactly what happened to make sure it doesn't happen again. Number three, find out who did this so we can bring them to justice."
However tonight, Bing West, the former Assistant Secretary of State, told Greta Van Susteren, "If that actually happened the way President Obama said it happened, there's a paper trail and I think people reasonably enough can say, "Can we see the order?" because hundreds of others supposedly saw this order."

The President's Weekly Address
White House: "In this week's address, the President thanked Congress for its strong bipartisan support for efforts to train and equip Syrian opposition forces to fight ISIL":
Saturday, September 20, 2014.
New York Times: "A Texas man who scaled the White House fence made it through the North Portico doors on Friday night before being apprehended, the Secret Service said. The intruder, Omar J. Gonzalez, 42, was arrested just inside the doors and taken to George Washington University Hospital after complaining of chest pains, said Ed Donovan, a Secret Service spokesman. None of the Obamas were home when the security breach occurred about 7:20 p.m., but White House staff members were evacuated as a precaution, officials said. President Obama and his daughters had left for the presidential retreat at Camp David, Md., just minutes before the incident."
New York Times: "Forty-nine Turkish hostages who had been held for months in Iraq by Islamic State militants were returned to Turkey on Saturday after what Turkey said was a covert operation led by its intelligence agency. The hostages, including diplomats and their families, had been seized in June from the Turkish consulate in the Iraqi city of Mosul."
Friday, September 19, 2014.
Guardian: "Alex Salmond declared he will stand down as Scotland's first minister and the lead of the Scottish National party after failing to secure a majority for independence, as the country's vote to remain in the United Kingdom foreshadowed months of constitutional turmoil. After 55% of Scottish voters rejected independence, a higher margin than suggested by the final opinion polls of the campaign, Salmond, who has dominated Scottish politics for the past decade, said he would quit in November."
CBS/AP: "France said Friday it had conducted its first airstrike in Iraq, destroying a logistics depot held by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The office of President Francois Hollande's office said Rafale fighter jets struck the depot in northeastern Iraq on Friday morning and the target was 'entirely destroyed.'"
Guardian: "David Cameron has declared a 'clear result' in the Scottish independence referendum after Scotland voted by a 10.6-point margin against ending the 307-year-old union with England and Wales. Earlier, Scotland's first minister, Alex Salmond, struck a defiant note at a downbeat Scottish National party rally in Edinburgh, saying he accepted Scotland had not 'at this stage' decided to vote for independence. He paid tribute to what he called a 'triumph for democratic politics' and said he would work with Westminster in the best interests of Scotland and the rest of the UK – warning the leaders of the three main parties to make good on their promises of enhanced devolution for Scotland." ...
... The Guardian's liveblog on the referendum is here. ...
... The Scotsman's front page has links to numerous related stories. The paper's main story is here.
Public Service Announcement
Washington Post, September 17: "Artificial sweeteners might be triggering higher blood-sugar levels in some people and contributing to the problems they were designed to combat, such as diabetes and obesity, according to new findings published Wednesday in the journal Nature.
New York Times, September 1: "People who avoid carbohydrates and eat more fat, even saturated fat, lose more body fat and have fewer cardiovascular risks than people who follow the low-fat diet that health authorities have favored for decades, a major new study [financed by the N.I.H.] shows."
10:00 am ET: Annoucement of Department of Defense awards on biofuel production
10:15 am ET: President Obama & Vice President Biden host a White House event to launch the "It's on Us" campaign
12:30 pm ET: Josh Earnest's press briefing
If you don't see the livefeed here, go to WhiteHouse.gov/live.
CW: Here's some cheery news. The MacArthur Foundation has named the newest recipients of its "genius" grants. I hope none of them is somebody you personally dislike (thus keeping it cheery). The AP article linked includes a slide show with mini-profiles of each grant recipient.
** CW: The best, most provocative piece of writing in the "news" today is A. O. Scott's piece in the New York Times Magazine on "The Death of Adulthood in American Culture." If you don't watch a lot of TV & never see stupid movies, you will struggle with Scott's exemplary references. You may not accept all of his premises, & I think he falls short on defining "adulthood" (though maybe, like pornography, we're supposed to recognize it when we see it.). ...
... Adam Sternbergh responds in New York.
Jeff Weiss, in the New York Times, profiles comedian Bill Maher, who is in the midst of a schtick aimed to defeat the U.S.'s worst Congressperson. You would be a good idea to read Weiss's piece with A. O. Scott's essay in mind. Maher (& even Weiss, who -- in ticking off "bad things" about Maher -- never mentions Maher's offensive attitudes about women) is a fine example of Scott's thesis.
Guardian: "Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their second child, the royal family said on Monday morning. The announcement was made from Clarence House on Twitter.... The Duchess of Cornwall is suffering from acute morning sickness, as she did with her first pregnancy, and is being treated by doctors at her apartments in Kensington Palace."
Washington Post: "After less than a year at the top of Politico's masthead, veteran New York Times editor Rick Berke has resigned as the publication's executive editor.... Friction had been on display in the newsroom almost from the beginning of his tenure. Berke, according to several current and former Politico employees, tried to impose some of the values of the world he came from — where multiple editors might weigh in, demand multiple drafts, and shape bigger, more ambitious stories — on Politico's fast-moving, reporter-driven newsroom."
Jimmy Fallon & Maroon 5 singer & Voice judge Adam Levine stage a "musical impressions-off." This clip, from a show that aired this week (September 2), already has more than 8MM hits:
New York Times: "The jilted lover of President François Hollande of France has written a tell-all book about her days as France's onetime unofficial first lady and of her version of events that led the couple to separate after the president was exposed as having an affair by a French gossip magazine. The book by Valérie Trierweiler, 49, who separated from Mr. Hollande in January, describes how news of the affair pushed her to the edge. She acknowledges that she 'cracked' and attempted suicide by trying to overdose on sleeping pills when she learned of Mr. Hollande's affair with an actress, Julie Gayet.... The book drew a barrage of criticism for revealing secrets about the president, whose office embodies the nation and is rarefied like that of a monarch."
Washington Post: "Apple said that its iCloud systems have not been breached Tuesday and that thieves stole celebrity photos from Apple accounts by targeting individuals, rather than by breaking into the company's infrastructure."
Gabrielle Bluestone of Gawker claims she has compiled "everything we know about the alleged celeb nude 'trading ring' & leak." CW: I'll take her word for it, though I should warn you her post does not include any nude pix. My advice: If you wanna be in pictures, but you don't want photos of your naked self published on celebrity Websites, don't upload the pictures onto the Internets. There be hackers.
... Marisa Guthrie of the Hollywood Reporter interviews Jon Stewart, mostly on the making of his film "Rosewater," which is based on the arrest & incarceration of journalist Maziar Bahari in Iran in 2009.
AP: Actors "Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were married Saturday in the French hamlet of Correns, a spokesman for the couple says. Jolie and Pitt wed in a small chapel in a private ceremony attended by family and friends at Provence's Chateau Miraval. In advance of the nondenominational civil ceremony, Pitt and Jolie obtained a marriage license from a local California judge. The judge also conducted the ceremony in France."

Paris Fashion Week: Step Team Models, Young Gun Designers & Selfie-Inspired Streetwear... Oh My
- Entertainment
By Emily Sher
Three names from Paris Fashion Week are on every fashionista's lips: Rick Owens, Balenciaga and Undercover. Each Spring/Summer collection held a buzzy runway show and sparked debate, awe or just plain excitement. A quick peek below:
Rick Owens literally stepped out of the box for his most recent fashion show. The Californian-turned-Parisian replaced boring models with a fierce step team wearing mean-mugging faces to match. Is it commentary on the pervasiveness of stick-thin, white models on the runway? A racist/offensive move? The debate continues but one thing's for certain: this is the most talked about show of the season.
Alexander Wang is a beloved fashion prodigy, launching a label in his own name after just two years at Parsons. Wang continued his ascent when he was named Creative Director for the storied French fashion house Balenciaga in November 2012 and has yet to disappoint. The designer's second collection for the label has nods to founder Cristóbal Balenciaga while staying true to his own tougher street style aesthetic.
Social media has infiltrated mass culture whether it be hashtags covering TV screens or rappers spitting lines about Instagram. Designer Jun Takahashi took it one step further and made the "selfie" t-shirt a thing in Underground's Spring 2014 collection.

Salt Lake City's Hang Time does it for the fun of it
The Salt Lake Tribune
Published: September 12, 2013 04:41PM
Updated: August 29, 2013 04:18PM
When The Future of The Ghost disbanded in late 2011, Salt Lake City's Will Sartain still wanted to create music.
"I was just ready to change things up," Sartain said. "FOTG felt so serious and I wanted something lighter and happier. Something I could come to practice and work on that made me happy and felt easy."
So the guitarist. keyboardist and singer (owner of local venues Kilby Court and Urban Lounge) recruited drummer Cathy Fox, keyboardist Andrew Sato and bassist TJ Fitzgerald to create
Hang Time
, a pop band with a mission that defies the notion that an artist should suffer for art.
"I love to play fun music for the sake of fun," Sartain said. "That is what Hang Time is all about."
Hang Time will perform at Urban Lounge on Saturday, Nov. 9 after a long hiatus.
Sartain answered questions posed by The Tribune about the new band.
When you are with Hang Time, whom do you pay homage to? Who are your inspirations?
I really like a lot of modern bands like STRFKR, Miike Snow, and Chairlift. Our older inspirations would be David Bowie and 80's synth pop.
When you are a spectator at a show, do you ever feel the need to dance?
Of course! I love to dance at shows.
How long have you known the other members of the band?
I have played with Cathy for almost eight years with FOTG and Hang Time. Andrew and I have been close friends for about 10 years but only recently started playing music together. I met TJ about five years ago with a band called Giant.
What are some of your most memorable musical experiences with Hang Time?
Opening for Washed Out was really great. They are one of my favorite modern bands.
How did [local musician and producer] Mike Sasich help with the album and make it what you wanted it to sound like?
Mike is very easy to work with. He allowed us to make it how we wanted and then made subtle suggestions that really helped round out the songs.
If you had a rider with requests, what would yours say?
Water, beer, and a veggie tray.

A Narnia Christmas?
Well according to the ever reliable Daily Star for this year's Christmas special we'll be leaving behind the great Victorian novelist and his formidable body of work and instead have a tale based on the C.S Lewis classic The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.
Steven Moffat has promised a wintry tale including snow, a Narnia like forest and an 'icy baddy':
"If you thought last year's show was the most Christmassy ever, then think again."
This years special sees the Doctor crash-land in war-torn England. Posing as the caretaker of a creepy old house in Dorset he embarks on a magical mystery adventure with Madge Arwell and her two children, Lily and Cyril. Naturally, there will be surprises in store as the Doctor leads them into a magical adventure.
But it's not just the children who have an adventure in store according to Moffat:
"The Doctor at Christmas – nothing is more fun to write. It's maybe because it's so his kind of day. Everything's bright and shiny, everybody's having a laugh, and nobody minds if you wear a really stupid hat.
Of all the Doctors, Matt Smith's is the one who was born for this time of year, so it's the best news possible that he's heading back down the chimney."
Well, the Doctor will likely need cheering up after the shocking season finale next week…
3 Responses to A Narnia Christmas?
I can't help thinking that "he who must be obeyed" (aka Steven Moffat) has missed a trick here.
By revealing that work has started on the Christmas special he has inadvertently 'spoiled' the ending for Series 6.
Obviously nobody 'really' expects our beloved Doctor to actually die at Lake Silencio, but if the Beeb had delayed announcing this year's festive fare until after the final episode had aired, then a tiny grain of doubt would have endured.
Indeed, if no news of a Christmas special had been forthcoming prior to the end of Series 6, then possibly, just possibly, even the most sceptical amongst us might have begun to wonder about The Doctor's fate.
Then again, probably not
Yeah, but this could be set before his death, couldn't it?
I'm sure there are enough fur coats in the Tardis to cope with all that snow!
I very much doubt that the Doctor dies at Lake Silencio, I mean why kill off a perfectly good franchise? That would be mad. I expect there will be some kind of timey wimey get out clause.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This is one of the best schools I've sent any of my children to. My son loves it! The staff and faculty are all about the kids and their safety and education while still making the school experience fun. We are entering the 3rd year my son is a student and we look forward to it!
If you can find a better elementary school in washoe county, go for it! I believe that this school is awesome. The teachers, staff and parents make this a place where my children want to go and learn and have fun at the same time.
This school is outstanding. The buildings are old but well maintained. Newer buildings don't make the school, the faculity and staff do and they are top-notch. My children love it there and we as parents are very pleased with their development. Rock-on Peavine.
My daughter went to Peavine and is now in college and doing fantastic! The Principal, Teachers and very special Office and Clinic are all to be praised highly for there hard work and commitment to the children. The Peavine alumni still love to come to all the activities such as the Chili Fest, Talent Show I want to thank you for all your hard work and support.
The principal at this school great ! He cares about the students, families, and staff greatly. He does everything he can to make sure things are running smoothly, and the students are recieving all the extra help they can get to do their best.
I graduated from Peavine Elementary school the year of 2004. I can not speak for how it is now, but I do not think that I could have been more prepared for middle and high school. I am currently a sophomore at Reno High, with a ranking of #1 in my entire class. I owe it all to Peavine.
This is an amazing school! I was lucky enough to complete my internship in this small school community. The staff are very dedicated and really work hard during and after school to keep things running smoothly. wonderful administration. I have nothing but compliments! Keep it up!
My son went to another elementary before Peavine and I was so surprised by how much we loved Peavine in comparison. The teachers were amazing, the kids and other parents were awesome. They've got a ton of extracurricular activities for the kids. We are now moving to another school in town and I'm very very sad to leave Peavine.
This School is way better than the school my children went to before. The teachers actually make sure the children are learning and if they have any problems with my children the do call me and inform me of the problems, which I greatly appreciate!

My grandchild(18 Months) is exposed to 4 differnt languages and he still not talking, not a word.
I'm very worried about my grandchild not talking at 18 months, I asked if everyone can speak to him in english to assure he talks first and then later on everyone can speak to him in different language, but everyone thinks it is good for him to be exposed to all languages and dialects. what should we do?

My daughter is 13 months and my husband always speaks to her in Spanish and I mostly speak to her in English with Spanish here and there as I know it. She is saying a few words, but understands both languages because she will do what she is told in either language. If you can bless your children with languages that is such a gift. All of my daugther's cousins are bilingual and they do well in school. Try not to compare your child to other kids word for word, because all kids develop skills at different times.posted 11/21/2008 by IsabelaMami
Being exposed to more than one language causes children to be late talkers. BUT when they do start to talk, they will be able to speak and understand all 4 :) its very cool, I studies this in college.posted 11/19/2008 by skinamonn
My son did at 18 months wasonly starting to say "uh-oh" and such non-word phrases. By age 2 he was saying actual words, but still not forming simple two-word "sentences". Only three months after his 2nd birthday - Boom, the kid started speaking in full sentences and now a year later he speaks in much more complex sentences then any other kid in his preschool class. Although your grandchild is spoken to in 4 languages and my son only 2, I would not worry about him not speaking yet - He's probably absorbing it all and just might surprise you by speaking in all 4 languages clearly and in sentences within 6 months! Remember it's been said that Albert Einstein did not utter a single word and his parents thougth he was mute, until he was 4, at which time he spoke in complete sentences.posted 10/22/2008 by llazaruk
the question does not say if the child babbles- babbling with a variety of sounds ma, ba, da, and sounds other than aaa's- my son who would do a maaaaa and an aaaaa sound(who had his hearing checked) at the age of 2 we put in speech therapy for 6months before they figured out he was profoundly deaf. My advice would be to check everything out physically do not lose any time- the early you can catch what ever it maybe the better for the child. b-posted 10/19/2008 by mamaofciwearingkids
One of my nieces did not speak until she was over 2 years old. She just did not want to talk until one day someone turned the switch and then she would not stop talking. Her sister, on the other hand, started talking very early and had an extensive vocabulary despite her being completelly bilingual. Her language skills were so impresive that by age 3 she could translate for others. She did not understand that she was translating, but she knew that she was supposed to repeat everything in either English or Spanish. Being multilingual probably has little to do with it. I am multilungual and so are all the children in my family. I do have to agree that multilingual children do seem to have lower language skills, but when you look at the entire picture and realize that this children can do more than most adults, it is trully amazing. Continue teaching your grandchild all the languages she will be exposed to regularly. It will help her out tremendously.posted 09/03/2008 by angien05
Key to multilingual education is that the child identifies the language with a specific person. This person should preferably ONLY communicate in his/her mothertongue with the child. Thus they get first hand language skills from native speakers rather than from second hand and learn to seperate languages according to the person they communicate with. It is therfore not helpfull when one and the same person switches languages or to communicate in a language which they do not master like their own mothertongue. Finaly multilingual children will start to talk a bit later as they have to absorbe much more vocabulary but will then catch up very quickly and soon overtake monolingual children. Multilingualy raised childrens' language skills are later absolutely unmatched compared to anybody who has learned them later as a second language. Anonymous' opinion is neither backed up by any scientific research nor experience in numerous eductation and field studies all over the world.posted 06/20/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
How about giving the poor kid a break??????posted 05/23/2008 by duemay207
Contrary to what anonymous said, research in multilingual language acquisition shows that immersing children in multiple languages is good for their long term linguistic development. The key is that each caregiver should only speak one main language with the child OR that caregivers should switch languages according to a predictable pattern (i.e. we speak English at home but Arabic outside the home because we live in an Arabic speaking country). P.S. I am the mother of two bilingual children & did my M.A. thesis on children's second language development.posted 11/12/2007 by UmmNoureen
As with any immigrant family, I have seen the different stages of foreign language acquisition first hand. I learned Spanish as a first language and was introduced to English at age 6 and French at age 12. Having mastered one language first helped me to understand the nuances of each language and to speak them as separate languages. By the time I was learning my third language, I really enjoyed learning about language not just one specific tongue. My little sisters, who are US born, learned English and Spanish simultaneously. While they did acquire both, their language skills are not as strong as mine are (in either language).posted 10/25/2007 by LucyOK
I agree that it takes time to sort out that many language (4..wow!), and that stopping now will only confuse him/her. The research shows that as long as the child has a strong model of the language (or at least one primary language), than learning several at once is fine (if not great) for kids. It's MUCH better to do it early than later... the research also shows that the 'window of opportunity' is truly between 0-5 years old, so between 5-10 truly isn't the most ideal time to introduce new languages. I would suggest you keep on keeping on, and monitor closely with the support of a speech-language pathologist (not all pediatricians know exactly what to look for, esp. with complex issues such as multiple language-learning). -kristijm78posted 10/22/2007 by kristijm78

Mindshare: managing IT projects incrementally
Randolph Hite with GAO says his experience over the last 30 years in looking at large-scale IT projects across more federal departments and agencies than I can name has shown that this self-evident truth has been long and widely recognized and adopted when it comes to how IT projects are developed or acquired.

Soft Star RunAmoc Giveaway
Of all the giveaways going on here this month, this might be the one I'm most appreciative of.
That's because the prize comes from Soft Star, a company I've plain and simply fallen in love with over the past year and a half. They're a true Mom-and-Pop business that has survived and thrived for more than 25 years by doing things the old-fashioned way. Founders Tim and Jeanie Oliver taught themselves the shoe crafting trade, and started the cottage business while their toddlers bounced around the workshop.
To this day, every pair of Soft Star moccasins is hand-crafted (by employees affectionately called "elves") at the family workshop in Corvallis, Oregon. The company is one of the last remaining shoe manufacturers whose entire material acquisition and production process stays completely in the United States. And although the company has grown, they haven't lost the cozy family feel, as you can see in this cool video the company released this year, in conjunction with its 25th anniversary:
"Soft Star Shoes" (click to play):
Definitely a business you can feel good about supporting, huh? And for a company with 100% handmade products, they have a fairly impressive variety of adult, youth and (quite adorable) baby footwear. I first reviewed their grippy suede Roo slippers last year, and my wife went crazy for the Phoenix boot (see my review here) this fall. But of course, the primary object of my affection is the RunAmoc, whose development I was fortunate enough to be involved with, and which has become my favorite day-in, day-out minimalist shoe since its release last April.
It's important to note that the RunAmoc isn't an "all things to all people" minimalist shoe: various other products out there have a more secure fit, or a better barefoot feel, or a longer lifespan, or a more aggressive trail outsole. But there's something unmistakably sweet about running in a pair of leather moccasins that look like something Native Americans might have worn, and no other minimalist shoe on the market comes close to matching the primitive "back to nature" vibe that you feel in a pair of RunAmocs. It's a joy to run in them – and in my book, there's a lot to be said for just plain joy.
And when I say they're my day-in, day-out preference, I mean it. I have one pair of RunAmoc Lites with a 2mm street outsole that I use for road running or general all-purpose activity, a pair of Lites with a 5mm trail outsole for running off-road (including a 50M ultra back in May), and a chocolate suede RunAmoc with street outsole that I use as my favorite walking around shoe.
If you're the winner of this contest, you'll get to try a new pair of RunAmocs for yourself. The winner will receive a gift certificate code equal to the cost of one pair of standard RunAmocs (lite or suede) plus domestic shipping. Two minor disclaimers: if you need to do a custom order for unusual sizes or widths, it will cost you a few extra dollars, and if you're an international reader, you'll be on the hook for the cost difference with international shipping.
I used the word appreciative in the opening paragraph above, and that was no accident. Since all of their products are hand crafted and made to order, it's not like Soft Star can just pull a brown size 11 off the shelf and ship it out to a winner; it takes some time to build a pair from scratch, and as you can imagine, this is a pretty busy time of year for a workshop full of slipper-making elves. So I'm honored that Soft Star is a sponsor here – which is all the more reason for me to love them.
For this contest, the link rule will be in effect: 1 entry for a comment, 1 for a Twitter or Facebook link, and one for a blog post link to this contest page. Enter by next Friday, December 17th at 5PM PST - be sure to let me know how many entries you deserve - and I'll announce the winner later that night. Good luck to everybody, and very big thanks to Soft Star for making this contest happen.

In the past, New Orleans' Terius Gray, who's more than 30 but still Juvenile, has cared more about coochie than about current events; "Back That Azz Up" doesn't exactly qualify as a political statement. It's little wonder, then, that "Get Ya Hustle On," a Reality Check track about the Hurricane Katrina debacle, is such a memorably weird hybrid of righteous anger and thug wisdom. Juvenile rips Mayor Ray Nagin, FEMA and Fox News, among others, but he also urges destitute locals to "save up your money and find out who got 'em for ten a key." After all, not every crackhead in the bayou drowned, right?
Unfortunately, Juvie doesn't expand on this platform elsewhere on Reality; the disc primarily consists of party bangers ("Pop U," with Fat Joe and Ludacris), street romances ("Addicted," featuring Brian McKnight) and heavy-breathing horndoggery ("Loose Booty," which has nothing to do with pirates). Most tracks are entertainingly bouncy but lyrically predictable--a far cry from the unique economic proposal Juvie espouses in "Hustle." Call it the New Deal.

Troubled British singer Amy Winehouse reportedly collapsed in her home during the holidays. Read more on the cause of Winehouse's collapse below.
Amy Winehouse had to be treated by a physician after collapsing in her home. Reports state Winehouse had a chest infection but has now been diagnosed as having nervous exhaustion. Amy obviously didn't let her chest infection get in the way of her attacking the manager of a theater during a child's play recently though.
A friend of Amy's stated: "She's been told to keep a low profile and fully recuperate. She has been feeling very ill of late and had a funny turn at home. She is quite unwell and exhausted after recent events but is soldiering on. She's doing her best to concentrate on her music and not become embroiled in drugs again. Her new songs are amazing but will be on the back burner until she feels better."
And the friend also added: "The last week has been a massive setback for Amy who was really turning a corner. Everyone in her camp is shocked by what has happened. But their main concern is making sure she feels better. Then she can throw herself into her music. The new year isn't getting off to the best start but Amy is determined and she'll keep looking forward."
